Bluebells and Poppies



I love bluebells. This time of year a drive in the country is a pleasure. However, in spain, there seems to be something of a shortage of them! Instead, there are a huge number of poppies. I really like these too, and have been astonished at the number of them. Many of the orchards have banks of wildflowers between them, rather than hedges or fences and during April / May these have been filled with poppies. Sometimes the floors around the trees have been awash with red. I kept wanting Ed to stop at every corner, so I could take a photo, but it was pleasant enough to take a ‘mental picture’ and remember how beautiful it looked.
