That's beautiful. Practising for the Trust?

Not as such. Teazle Wood is a patch of ancient woodland quite near us, and I seem to have found myself becoming a volunteer photographer for them, though of course I can share any of the photographs with the Woodland Trust. It's quite interesting to work to a brief. We'll see what I come up with.

Beautiful

I envy your having a woodland so close as I live in the centre of a small city. What flower is that? It looks like a scilla but hard for me to tell, as it's looking a bit weather worn

It's the common English bluebell, a scilla though the correct botanical name is hyacinthoides non-scripta. Unfortunately it's been too cold for the characteristic scent to be evident- that really is one of the joys of springtime.
