After London I headed up to see my Sister Nicola at Bentley, I was amazed on the train ride to see how much rape seed oil is being grown, in fact this was to be echoed on all my journey. All too little time with my visit but we did get to stroll though Constable countryside and had wonderful weather to boot. My other sister Pamela and  my Nieces (of Nic’s) had a day with us. All in all though a lovely time.

The featured image was captured on my phone but i was fortunate to get to see a bluebell wood.
