These are some of the cows that wander freely through the New Forest – you have to be a bit careful driving along as they like to spring out at you from behind trees but being cows they mostly stick to chomping on grass or dozing. I think I’d like to be a cow if I’m ever reincarnated (but without the unhappy Mc-ending).

Not many words today. I like horses (especially white ones), but from a fair distance…

“Oh, Mum – you’re so embarrassing!”

People who ‘aren’t from round these parts’ always freak out a bit when you tale them to the New Forest and theay see all the ponies (and donkeys, pigs and cattle) wandering aimlessly around wherever they please. Although you get used to it after a while it’s always heartmelting when you come across such cute family tableaux and always worth a snap…

especially when daddy gets an itch that he just can’t scratch…

The weekend was gorgeous. The leaves are almost fully out now so it must be time for bluebells! They are so wonderful and grow in huge swathes beneath the beech trees, just before the canopy of leaves completely obscures the light.

These were taken just up the road in Micheldever (Hampshire). They are almost in full bloom, another week and they will be even bluer…

And look who I spotted whilst hunting down those bluebells – so sweet!

The skies are so blue and the forecast is so good – I can’t wait to get out there again!
