From bluebells to a buffet

Into the woods

On the theme of outdoor worship, Brian Wardrop wrote in to tell Eye of a fascinating little walk he had recently. He and his wife went down to the woods to seek out the beautiful blue carpet of silent bells. Reaching a crossroads of paths deep in the wood they paused to sit on a bench and admire the ‘sea of blue’. It was then that they noticed a narrow path wending its way off into the flowers. Their curiosity aroused, they followed the path, which led further into the trees. Eventually it reached a circle of rough log seats, with a central log table on which was a candle.
