The last few weeks bluebells have been filling the countryside around us, and last Sunday we had a walk around Crackley Woods, just outside Kenilworth, where they were abundant. The bluebell is apparently Britain's favourite flower and as Ben dived into their midst, we did wonder whether it was illegal for him to pick them. A bit of internet research suggests that picking bluebells, along with most other wild flowers, fruit and foliage, is not generally an offence, although it is illegal to pull the bulbs up, and the commercial sale of any part of them is unlawful. Still, we didn't let him do too much damage!
