Blooming gorgeous May

May is Bluebell time!

One of my favourite spring walks has to be in a Bluebell wood.  It takes me straight back to my childhood.  I used to spend hours playing with friends in an ancient wood full of Bluebells, happy carefree days. 

Now each May, we have to make time to visit our favourite Bluebell wood, just seeing the carpet of blue instantly relaxes the senses and childhood memories come flooding back. Find a fallen tree or bench to Perch and just spend a moment just breathing in their sweet fragrance and relax.

To find a Bluebell Wood near you check out the Woodland Trusts pages for their expert guide.

​Also at its best in May is cherry blossom and we recently spent a magical day at The Alnwick Gardens, Northumberland.  The Cherry Orchard has been planted with over 300 Tai haku (Great White Cherry) trees.  Making it the largest cherry orchard of its kind anywhere in the world. ​

​​They have cleverly included swing seats under the trees and you lose track of time sitting and gentle swinging in the warm spring sun. Just magical. All part of the Duchess of Northumberland's vision for The Alnwick Gardens.   

You do need to have your Perch with you though, the birds make their presence known in no uncertain terms.  Good job Perches are washable.  

With the slow easing of restrictions and being able to sit outdoors for pubs and cafes, Perches are a great way to save yourself from damp, chilly seats.  As spring showers and frosty nights continue, just pop one in your pocket, unfurl and you can sit in comfort and enjoy our new freedoms.

I am also looking towards the full easing of restrictions and I hope to bring you exciting news next month, if all goes to plan.

I like to show you our products in use by our lovely customers and this month, we have this handsome fella, looks like he’s having a great time on his Pet Perch.  Thanks Tim (and owner Jackie) for this fab image.

Until next time, Happy Perching!
