OK, I know it's not actually illegal to pick bluebells in England, but AIBU to think that if you are at a National Trust beauty spot and you allow your children to pick large bunches of bluebells (four or five children picking) you are not really being very considerate? I'm not talking about a couple of flowers for a jam jar. The mothers were taking photos of the children with the bunches, so they knew what was going on.
When we went to the car park the children had dropped some of the bluebells on the ground and they had been trampled on. I felt so sad. These are beautiful flowers, and quite rare now as they are 'proper' English bluebells, not the Spanish hybrids.
Perhaps I am being grumpy, but it just seemed a bit selfish. What do others think?
