Field of Blue 2017

On Easter Saturday (15th April), late in the afternoon we visited Norsey Wood, in Billericay, to see the Blubells.  We do this most years, but rarely this early - normally we wait for the first May bank holiday.  This year though, it has been warm and very dry, so the blubells are already up and flowering.  The wood anenomies are also good this year, making a carpet of white that can look like snow on the ground from a distance.  The fields of blue are the most impressive, here are some pictures, taken on my phone this year.

Most of them are taken from the easy access path, so most people should be able to visit.  I included the notice beacuse it is easy to see the damage that has been caused in a few places by people walking across them.

The bluebells have been spectacular in Mill Meadows this year too, although there are nowhere near as many of them.
