Which is to say that the bluebells are out, in the corner next to the cowslips. I didn't have time to have a good look round for any others, but it's lovely to see them; a beautiful deep violet set in the deep-green shade of the hedge, contrasting with the bright yellows studding the sunlit grass. The non-scripta or non-scriptum part of the bluebell's botanical names means "unlettered" or "unmarked", but seemingly not unnamed, or unremarked by me at least.
Between September 2010 and September 2011, I lived alongside an Anglican Benedictine community of monks and nuns. In November 2010, we moved from Broad Marston Manor near Evesham to Mucknell Abbey, a new eco-monastery near Worcester. This blog was about things that I observed and things that interested me. I have now stopped writing it. Thank you to all who were also interested.
