Thirty five polyramblers joined this lovely outer London walk, Perivale woods being the main attraction, for the blue- bells. We made our way to the Grand Union Canal.  A cyclist said to us to look out for turtles, however, couple of polyramblers confirmed that we were looking at pink ear terrapins.

We arrived at Perivale Woods soon after. The blue bells were in full bloom and you could miss fragrant floral smell. We saw plenty of bird boxes and a hide. A great spot to listen to the birds, we heard wrens, blue tits, great tits, wood packer and chiffchaffe. Then we walked up to Horsenden Hill for great views. Here Jennifer shared chocolates with us. Then we made to Ballot Box Pub. The staff we superb and service was superb considering twenty of us wanted food and they had another group of thirty customers.

After lunch we walked to Harrow, we were able to admire the Harrow School buildings, and St Mary Church. We had tea at Spire Café, as the funds were for being raised good cause.

We made our way to Harrow- on the Hill Station after visiting Lord Byron’s Tomb. Some members went to Cathy’s for tea.

Thanks to Ida for the lovely photos
