I...Thank you Elizabet, Janice, Terri and Grace. I'm so pleased that you have enjoyed the post and made the time to comment; it is much appreciated.<br /><br />It will be some time Janice - end of April - before the bluebells will be flowering. However, if you look really carefully amongst the dead leaves in the bottom of the hedgerows, their leaves are just beginning to push through the soil.<br /><br />Terri, I am so pleased that you enjoyed your trip to the Cotswolds. Bourton on the Water and, especially, Bibury are such beautiful places. I am very fortunate to live in such a lovely part of the world. Hope you will be back in England visiting us again very soon!<br /><br />Thanks also, Grace, for becoming my latest follower and for visiting my blog. I'm glad that it made you smile.<br /><br />JohnsonJOHN SHORTLAND, Cotswold Hills, England.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11702000270961029986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723797518858451239.post-85075548443168188832012-01-31T17:19:04.259-08:002012-01-31T17:19:04.259-08:00I just found you ..well not you in person but a co...I just found you ..well not you in person but a comment you left on Wildlife photograph...: }<br />Don't know why but here I am, and this post I so loved your description of writing..made me giggle a bit ...it is hard to put down expression and feelings and have things sound right..I liked your writing and wanted to read on!!<br />I will be back from time to time !!<br />My name is Grace I live in the US...grammie ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00839269423384232974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723797518858451239.post-54016546510169042952012-01-31T00:55:16.451-08:002012-01-31T00:55:16.451-08:00So stunning Cotswold.

I really miss that. Especially when the bluebells come out. I hope you will take lots of pictures of bluebells. I love the snowdrops. They are just so beautiful. I have a few in my garden but wont see those for a couple of months yet. Your pictures are wonderful and I am homesick. One would think that I could have got over that after all these years but my heart will always be in England, especially in the Spring. I was thinking the other day, I should have been a Jackdaw........I love glittery stuff haha. <br />All the best<br />JaniceJanice Kay Schaubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01218296462551967972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723797518858451239.post-59129472782743103452012-01-30T12:19:01.529-08:002012-01-30T12:19:01.529-08:00As a friend of Jane I know how she can set off all...As a friend of Jane I know how she can set off all sorts of running thoughts! I am not really sure why I write but it has become an itch which I need to scratch once a week or so or I begin to feel edgy. Mind you, I worry about the way the rhythms of my life create a sameness in my blog but that seems to be the way it is.<br />Thanks for your visit to and comment on my blog. I too adored nature tables and can visualise the one in my class by simply shutting my eyes.Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723797518858451239.post-92009679331638841662012-01-30T12:09:14.712-08:002012-01-30T12:09:14.712-08:00Well, as I'm always saying, I'm very grate...Well, as I'm always saying, I'm very grateful to everybody that comments and I do remember Elephant that you do comment from time to time.<br />It helps having a memorable name as you do!<br /><br />She-dog is also complaining that she hasn't been featured lately too, Kath!
