It is that time of year when everyone goes mad for those beautiful little blue flowers – bluebells! We are lucky to live close to Rutland Water, a wonderful reservoir surrounded by woodland and countryside. It is fab for biking, for walking, for playing, for picnicing and for bluebells! Over the half term we took a trip down to Rutland water with some friends in search of the magical little flowers and found them in abundance.
Littlelish loves everything and anything a little bit fairytale (as do I) and is currently reading The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton which she adores. So you can imagine how excited we were to have the whole bluebell wood to ourselves. With our imagination fired up we admired these beautiful flowers, the children totally in their element, dreaming of fairies, pixies and enchanted trees. There is nothing quite like being surrounded by a carpet of blue flowers to make you smile.
oh it looks beautiful! I love bluebells. xx

Big Faraway Tree fan here too – and bluebell fanatic. It’s a great time of year to be out enjoying what nature gives us for free! Lovely photos :) x

Beautiful photos and I remember the Enchanted Wood capturing my imagination as a young girl. That could indeed be the far away tree. Please do join my Country Kids linky, this is a perfect post.

I loved Rutland water when we visited. How lucky you are to live nearby. We haven’t done our annual bluebell photo shoot yet but I’m inspired now for next weekend!

I can just imagine Moonface living in the tree sending down cushions for his magical slide

Ahh lovely, we never go to Rutland Water really, though my kids are in school and preschool in Rutland and I work in Oakham. It is great for teaching the kids to ride their bikes! My mum took my eldest to the outdoor gym there last week.
There’s loads of nice places around here I think.
Me too! I think we are really lucky to have such great places to visit around here :) Now we’ve got the dog I think we will be there a lot more!
Ahh I must admit they do look very pretty! Love the faraway tree it was my eldest favourite for so long.
