     In the formal gardens, there are roses in flower, and paeonys, and dafodils still. There are magnolias and snakes head fritillaries in flower.

    Bluebells!!  I had a strange experience a long time ago and bluebells were definitely involved.  A friend and I were riding through Fonthill woods in Wiltshire and as we came into a clearing we both said 'Bluebells?  Not the flowers but the perfume except...... this was August!!  Yes they did bloom there in the Spring but there certainly were none in sight that bright summer day.  Looking back from many years later I would say I must have dreamt it but we both had exactly the same reaction and the perfume lingered until we rode into the next treeline.

    Certainly the perfume was amazing. Very hyacinth like but not so headache inducing, if that makes sense. One of those smells you wish you could bottle to pull out on a depressing dull day.
