One of my favourite flowers and I have wonderful memories of walking through a local bluebell wood – surreal perfect moments.

It is such an enchanted experience taking a stroll through a bluebell wood with the sun filtering through the trees.

Just curious Pete – you don’t need to answer … what’s your family background? Are you married, single, kids, grandkids?
