Bluebell woods at Badbury Clump

"If you go down to the woods today

You're sure of a big surprise..."

Henry Hall - Teddy Bears Picnic

You can't beat a walk through a carpet of bluebells

with the sunshine dappling through the trees.

It's one of life's uplifting free pleasures.

I've been coming to the Bluebell Woods

at Badbury Clump in Oxfordshire

since I was a child riding through on my pony.

2015 is shaping up to be an epic year!

It's something to do with a mild February

and the driest March in forty years

which means Spring has come early in these 'ere parts.

Having just arrived in the UK from an Aussie autumn

it's a true "Honey, I'm home" moment.

It's lovely to be back!

Our balcony Sunbirds!

Something beautiful is happening at our place, I can hear the little birds sing! This is no mean feat as we live way up high, above the 30th floor. I love my new apartment it is just perfect, except that I missed the birds. Then guess what? Two of the cutest little Thai Sunbirds decided to join us and build a nest. Talk about the happiest bird watch ever! Our sunbird on our orchids Let's go back a bit and remind you about my Bangkok life. I've arrived in this great city from Melbourne Australia. Where I have a garden that I love and although the birds are a little cautious about visiting us, on account of the Crazy Poodle, we enjoyed all manner of what I think of as exotic birds - bright parrots, laughing kookaburras etc Rainbow lorikeets checking to see what the Crazy Poodle is up to! Our first Bangkok apartment at Embassy Place was chosen for it's amazing position overlooking one of the US Embassy compounds. The American Ambassador in Bangkok, has a ni...
