Bluebells and Wedding Bells

9 comments

Been busy recently so not really had time to post on GOY (awful I know)

The May fair at school went really well – although didnt get the photos I hoped for, as there was too much whirling about in the country dances and Im sure the girls were purposely hiding from the camera!

But over the long weekend we took a family trip out to see the bluebell woods at Yoxall Lodge farm – the woodland is part of ancient forest and is lovely enough, but when it is carpeted in bluebells it is stunning!

The place is packed with english bluebells – not a spanish flower in sight, and they have some areas with natural white and pink bluebells growing wild.

This last weekend we were invited to a fabulous family wedding at a Rockingham Castle – the weather was good and the gardens were open for the private use of the wedding guests – what a treat, Elephant cut yew hedges, Formal rose gardens, woodland walk and a stunning Handkerchief tree which we saw at dusk when it really did look ethreal (I had never seen one before). My camera was unfortunately playing up though so only got a couple of photos of the garden before it packed in.

It was amazing to be able to wander around with a glass of pimms and enjoy such lovely gardens. The food, company and party was rather good too!
