    There are bluebell woods in Belgium - Halle on the south west side of Brussels - http://www.eupedia.com/belgium/halle_wood.shtml and there's one near our old house near Gembloux but it's a private beech wood maintained for logging.  Visible from the N29 tho and carpets of wild mini daffs then wood anemone and then the bluebells before the bracken takes over for the rest of the year.  Gorgeous.

    Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

  • I don't know of bluebells in Thetford Forest BL - the best place I know is Foxley Wood - one of the best places in the country - and not far from here

    http://www.explorenorfolkuk.co.uk/foxley-norfolk.html scroll down for some fantastic pics - and yes, it really does look like that and the perfume is intoxicating.

    There are also beautiful bluebell woods around Rutland Water, but that's a bit further away.

    That looks lovely.

    Blickling and another (private - but you could look into it) nearby wood were beautiful last year.image

    Saturday is fine too - but if Wonky can make Thursday that would be a slightly better day for me...

     Just heard from Wonky - we're on for Thursday !!! image

    Really don't mind whether we go morning or afternoon Dove - I'll fit in with you and Wonky. Would either of you like a lift from Bury train station?

  • That's kind Topbird, but think the plan is for me to pick Wonky up and drive ...

    See original post

    Oh heck! Still, I won't be complaining - the garden could do with some rain and I shouldn't have to say that in February!

    At the moment it's only a 50% chance of rain. It's forecast to be wetter still on Saturday...

    If we get to Wednesday evening and want to change plans that's ok with me. I can fit in with whatever you and Wonky want to do.
