Bluebells

The bluebells were astonishing in Hardcastle Craggs this year.

A sea of blue

filling our eyes,

lifting our spirits

and leading us on a path that we'd never taken before.

Their visit is a fleeting one

and you have to make sure you make a special visit to say hello 

and breathe them in while they are here.

We have to make the most of these gifts of Spring.
