4. Still sniffing, have to say not much scent with the closed ones, however the open bells have a slight smell, but only slight of Apples, but if I snap a leaf off the sap does have an earthy smell as Mrs P. reported. So if picked I think this is the dominant smell, but if you lie on the floor sniffing them, people stare at you.
5. Mayflower with wickthings.
6. Heading into the Millennium Woods, a view of Pendle.
7. A lush area now, but it has started spitting.
8. That is the area I am going, but it is now raining, and heavily.
9. A bug on a mountain Ash, the flowers look identical to Hawthorn, and early cherry blossom.
10. The last shot before getting in the car, everything is now wet as I didn't expect it to rain so am not in waterproofs.

Oh dear, I really started something didn't I? Thanks for being such a good sport about the bluebell scent thing - it's just one of those incomplete childhood memories! I remember the sight, but not the smell. Thanks to you, Margaret and Diane, I now have an idea of what their scent is.
Lovely shots, by the way. Number 10 is a stunner.
