<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This year I was determined to get out and see Bluebells. I always manage to miss them but this time, I finally got it right! I headed to Badbury Hill<\/a> in Oxfordshire (locally known as Badbury Clump) owned by the National Trust.<\/p>\n I first went at the end of April. I was a little too early as they were only just starting to flower so not the carpet of blooms that I was hoping for \u2013 at least I hadn\u2019t missed them!<\/p>\n \n Last week I headed to the site again to witness the floor covered in flowers.\u00a0 I timed it just right as it did look as though some of the flowers were just starting to go over.<\/p>\n \n There were plenty of people out enjoying the sunshine, though unfortunately some were walking through trampling and picking the flowers.\u00a0 I know not everyone likes flowers or sees their importance but do they really have to damage them?!<\/p>\n I\u2019m also not sure why some dog walkers insist on leaving bags of poo lying around when there are bins provided!\u00a0 If they can put it in a bag, surely carrying it to the bin should not be a problem?!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The car parking at Badbury Hill is free, but it does get very busy.\u00a0 If you\u2019re lucky, there might also be an ice cream van in the car park \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This year I was determined to get out and see Bluebells.
