A Quiet Country Corner


One day last week, just near Crickhowell, we drove along a narrow country lane and stopped at a road junction where two streams met.  Washington Bear really likes this part of the country.






The Spring flowers were out providing a range of colours in the hedgerows.


Wild Garlic - can you smell it?



Ivy-leaved Toadflax


Maidenhair Fern


Hedge Parsley

    1. No, Eva. Washington is just a passenger, like me. Partner-who-loves-tea is the sole driver nowadays. Washington is a well travelled bear though. He came from a friend on the far side of the USA and has visited many parts of Britain already.

  3. Lovely pictures John. The country road and woodland path reminds me so much of West Sussex. I do miss the trees of Sussex. x

  6. It's lovely to see Washington Bear out and about. Killerton woods are full of ramsons too - I do love the smell.

  7. I remember the narrow country lanes in England. When you meet another car, you hold your breath! (I do anyway, but there is no need, the British drivers always manage these small roads with no problem.) Lucky Washington Bear!

  8. The smell of wild garlic - I love it, although it never fails to make me hungry, which is not always ideal when I am in the middle of a hike or walk of several hours :-)
    How kind of you and Washington to take us along on your trip!
