Christmas Common - A bit early for the best of the bluebells


We try to do this route from Christmas Common at bluebell time each year. The road from the Junction 5 of the M40 to Christmas Common was part of a organised cycle ride today, so we had to pass lots of groups of cyclists. Our walk started with a stretch along this road. I did wonder whether we should walk in single file and then suddenly switch to side-by-side as a cyclist approached.

A few weeks ago, it seemed that the bluebells would be early this year, but the cold April has put paid to that. Judging by today's display, next week will be the peak of the season. Let's hope the weather's good enough for an outing.
