Blue Bell Wood And Evening Walk

Today we had a relaxing and pleasant evening walk in the warm spring sunshine it felt quite comfortable in just a tee shirt. Just drove about a mile down the road to Kerseley parked up the car and walked through a delightful little wood called Bunsons wood. We walked up Thomsons lane and across some fields where there were panoramic views of the city skyline. Coventry doesn't have one the most impressive city sky lines but it's still a interesting site with it's three medieval spires dominating it. Was nice to pick out all the areas and landmarks we know. It's really nice living on the edge of The City as you have the best of both worlds all of what the city as to offer plus the knowledge you are very near to the countryside to get away from the hustle and bussle and the madding crowd. The woods and trees are coming along nicely now and the bluebells are beginning to form a nice scented blue and green carpet throughout the wood a hint of summer not far away. We saw quiet a few hazelnut trees that I'd like to go and gather the nuts from in the autumn. Spritz enjoyed her rummage through the hedgerows as per usual. We took our tea with us this evening and eat outside something which I really enjoy on the longer evenings. I'd like to go back at night time and take a photo of the city lights. That's another day. My mum retires soon and said she is looking forward to coming out on our evening walks. We have a evening bat walk next week with my cousin her husband and my auntie and uncle and a few others which we are all looking forward to. We also have a BBQ to go to this Saturday. We are going to miss Sprtiz this weekend as she is going to stay with our friend Michelle and Dave's for the weekend a pre amble to her two weeks stay when we are off to Sunny Spain.

Yes we have bluebells they are not quite fully open but well on the way now. Everything just seems late this year as we have had early springs the last few years but everything back on time now. Quite a nice day here again today but rain forcast for the bank holiday. typical. All thou I don't mind a bit of rain there is such a shortage of water now we could actually do with some. The water company are threating hosepipe bans due to the dry winter. ;-)
