It looks like we have reached peak bluebell in the woods. They always look like they’re in full bloom and then a few days later, wham, everywhere is an intense blue. I do feel like they are much more impressive in person than photos tend to capture.
Scully just chilling out among the wood anemones and bluebells (it was either this face, or her yawning):
Morning sunlight and a carpet of blue:
It’s my last week of work before redundancy, and I’m ready for a break! It’s probably asking a bit much for the weather to stay good?
Since my last update on Thursday, I’ve managed to read a whole two books, the new Rizzoli and Isles from Tess Gerrisen, Listen to Me, and Hide by Kiersten White. That means I’m up-to-date with my 2022 NetGalley reading (my next oldest books are pre-pandemic , so I’m just ignoring them and aiming for 100% of anything new I request). I just need to review them all now.
We finished watching Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency on Netflix and I’m a bit sad to find out it was cancelled. If you could all go watch it so Netflix revives it, that would be amazing. It has good found family vibes and mind-bending mysteries with a decent dollop of humour. It’s weird, in a good way. I might give the books a go as they sound like a completely different plot (and more British).
New books acquired:
When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill
Notes from the Burning Age by Claire North (ebook)

Are those Spanish bluebells or the native UK variety? I never can work out how to tell the difference
They are native, I think there is a fair amount of effort to ensure the imported ones don’t invade woodland like this. The main differences are that UK bluebells are scented and have droopy stems rather than upright.
I shall be scrutinising every bluebell I see now to determine if it’s droopy and therefore native! I might get some strange looks……
Those bluebells are stunning! Spring is such a wonderful time.
Those bluebells are beautiful. I wish they grew where I lived. I’d love to see fields of them everywhere. Thank you for sharing your stunning photos so I can enjoy them too.
They only grow like this in certain types of woodland…just makes the woods seem magical!
I always love seeing your happy pupper pictures! The bluebells are indeed stunning. The park near our home has a lot of them too. There are even a few stray ones in our garden! I hope I can cultivate them to spread out more. It’s such a lovely sight.
Hide looks interesting! Reminds me a bit of Joyland by Stephen King, but more creepy maybe? Putting it on the list, haha!
