A walk in the bluebell wood

We're lucky to live near Epping Forest and to know where there is a "secret" bluebell wood. It really is off the beaten track so we were the only people there.

The bluebells were at their peak following last weekend's sunshine.  Beautiful. You could smell the sweet fragrance before you approached.

I kept it simple, wearing my new pin-tucked white blouse with fancy buttons from Peter Hahn, and Cambridge ankle skimmer jeans from Boden. The gold accessories, Marks and Spencer's "everywear" mules and a sequin bag I've had forever, gave some glamour to the look.

Peter Hahn may not be a brand you're familiar with. It's a German company and they have a UK website. They have a lot of brands that are new to us, and it isn't cheap, but there are some real finds, particularly if you're lusting after a particular colour.

Here's a close-up of the button detail. I'm always looking for a fitted white shirt that can be dressed up and down. I suspect this one is an ideal partner to a Bavarian dirndl, but what the heck? It's apparently great for travelling because it doesn't need ironing.
