Seeing, smelling and sharing.

12th May. A visit to Walkmill. As usual lots to see and everything seems to smell so intensely at this time of year. Do the flowers smell more when they have just formed and opened? For years I had admired the yellow flowers of the gorse but had never realised their scent. A walk in Walkmill some years ago had taken me on one of the lesser known paths. Here there were a number of horse bushes close together. At first I didn't know where the almost coconutty smell was coming from. Then I realised it was the gorse. Ever since I have taken the time to smell the gorse. Today I shared the joy of gorse with Willow and encouraged her to have a smell! Rowan enjoyed sharing some flowers with me and in the group picture he can be seen enjoying their smell.
