Spring in Bradley Woods

On Easter Monday we decided to take Jet for a walk round Bradley Woods as I was keen to see how the bluebells were doing.  I was sorry to have missed them in Rather Heath wood where we keep our caravan at Ashes Lane.  They were a picture here in 2016 as this blog post shows.  However the best display of bluebells I have ever seen was in North Yorkshire last year in Newton Wood at Great Ayton with Roseberry Topping in the background during our Cleveland Way campaign.  The images are in this blog post.

Having said that those in Bradley Woods were putting on a grand show and when in amongst them the hyacinth scent (of which they are a member) was truly evocative.  The woods were looking really spring-like with wood anemones continuing to put on a good show, lesser stichwort, lesser celendines and pleasing numbers of early purple orchids looking their best.
