No, but there was a lovely waft of wild Garlic on last wednesday club ride, along the side of the river Ayr. Made me hungry....

Yep, I've been single for 3 months and... just kidding.

Some bluebells in Cambridgshire.

No bells, but the apple blossom in the garden has been out for a few days and I saw my first housemartin of the summer on weds.

Ooooh, funny you should say that! Yesterday I went to my favourite bluebell wood to check on the progress and I actually saw a couple of them in their splendour. 8)

I'm getting rather excited. What a sad life I have. 😳

saw a few today just outside Exeter, south facing sheltered location, so they're probably forerunners

Should have said they've been spotted in mid-Hampshire. I'm feeling particularly optimistic this year for an outstanding display. 😀

I spotted some in someone's garden this morning here in Kent- haven't been out for a ride this w/e due to packing / various family illnesses so not sure if my local woods have any yet.

Nowhere near ready in Wentwood yet (RT territory iirc) - I checked after catching a whiff from someone's garden as I was puffing and panting up one of the climbs on my way this afternoon. Definitely smelt of bluebells - saw burger all though.
