I woke up this morning and felt rather overwhelmed. I went out for a walk with my husband and I am on a mission to get 10,000 steps a day. 10,000 steps was on my my to-do list. We got to the furthest point from home and then my husband said “let’s go to Bluebell wood and see the bluebells”. He then added “it would be a missed opportunity”. I was not feeling it at all! I just wanted to go home and come and write this blog as it happens. There was a long list of jobs I “had” to do today. The thought of them all, just made me feel overwhelmed and I wanted a cuppa tea!

So I hesitated. I knew I had to walk across two fields and get over 3 styles (quite a feat for someone with short legs) to get to the “magical” Bluebell wood. My husband was very keen and then I surprised myself and I agreed.

Yes I did walk across the fields and clambered over the styles and finally got to the wood. Actually it wasn’t that far or very onerous as it happened.

When I got there I was bowled over! These pictures were all taken this morning.

So what else would have I missed?

As I was walking up the path and trying to get a photo, I turned round and saw a deer, a doe. She was in the bushes. I tried to get a photo but I couldn’t sadly. If I had never gone to the wood I would never have seen the bluebells or the doe.

What a missed opportunity!

I walked back from the wood on cloud 9! I love deer and its such a treat to see them. I am also happy that I did get to see Bluebell wood, arguably when it is at its best. In previous years, I always said to myself “well maybe next year….”.
