On a gentle amble in the Mersey Valley as a not-very-good substitute for my planned walk in the Lakes, cancelled for various reasons, I noted that the bluebells were beginning to flower.
Does anyone have any idea where I might find bluebell stands in the forthcoming weeks around the Greater Manchester areas and perhaps a little further afield?

In the Bradford area the first ones are just showing blue. Give it another week for a carpet.

There are bluebell woods in Etherow Park, Compstall, near Marple, not to mention wild garlic, which reminds me to go there, maybe tomorrow... The daffodils there will be past their best, probably. -- Gordon Harris
