Impromptu Bimble

[Kepis]

Hugo and i went on an impromptu bimble earlier today, i was supposed to join him yesterday, but events during the stormy night on Tuesday meant i needed to be at home sorting a few things out, so we quickly arranged a day out today, few pics

Heading out

Bluebells

Red Campion

we are headed, erm, that way somewhere

quick walk through the Bluebell woods

and a look at the Common Twayblade, it should be in flower this time next week

then up hill to one of our favourite haunts, where i put up my new sit hammock - very comfy it is too

some of the carving we did today, well it would have been rude not too

time to head home

Wild Strawberries - wont be long now

View towards the huge clouds in the distance

after this it was over the fields and back to the cars.

Oh yes, we also did an Iron Pyrite search while were out, i collected about 3lbs of the stuff, including one piece that when i weighed it in at home, tipped the scales 1lb 2oz, i'll get a photo of it tomorrow, Hugo collected a good 2-3lb of Pyrite too.

Was a grand day out that ended all too soon, hopefully we can get out and about next week

What beautiful country you live in . It looks a delightful day. And you have campions already, as well as the twayblade. Thanks for sharing.

You always manage with your great photography skills, to make it look like a slice of heaven.

Nicely done.

Cheers people, was a good day out, got a bit chilly late morning when the sea breeze picked up though.

@Hillbill - it was a darn sight better than being in the workshop, only problem is i have to play catch up today to be ready for two events this weekend.

@Dave53 - will grab a pic or two later for you

@Elen - The Early Purple Orchids are not too far off flowering either

@Dougster - thanks mate, you are always to come for a wander round if you find yourself a bit further east.

would be nice to see the iron pyrite

and the big bit, weighs in a 1lb 2oz (approx 545gr for the young uns) 50p piece for scale
