Beautiful day for a walk in Burroughs Wood on the outskirts of Ratby. Keeping to the paths you can wander through the woods to see a fantastic carpet of bluebells throughout them. Pick the right day with the sun shining, the show is even better.
A little bit of leg work to start with and it's not long before we spot the farm which has the entrance to the woods that we usually enter by although there are plenty of others to chose from.
The floor of the woods not only has bluebells. Many species of woodland flowers make their home here.
Willie, Sheila, Naire and Kiwi joined us on this walk.
New walkers were introduced to Willie and family and informed of their travels and adventures throughout the world.
Wonder who will be taking them on holiday next?
Back to the walk and the amazing vistas within the woods.
A little bit of sunshine changes the dynamics for photographers.
Out of the woods and heading towards the golf club where a cuppa awaits.
Parts of the woods were a little on the slow side drying out after all the rain that had fallen just recently.
Everyone found their own way around the muddy obstacles.
One way to keep your feet out of the mud was get a seat well away from it all.
Across the golf course, a bit wary although it is a public footpath.
This lady isn't.
On our way back we detour to take in more bluebells.
A great walk and the weather was dry, could have had a little more sunshine but hey ho the walk and the chat more than made up for the lack of sun. 😊
