A carpet of blue

Every year I see this carpet of blue flowers outside this large house in Eaton Socon village. The village was mentioned in the Domesday book as Eaton and there are the remains of a castle nearby. Sadly the land is now privately owned. I live near here but I've never taken a picture of it before.
Good things - I went for a walk today in sunshine but returned home through a downpour! Thanks for all your comments and favs recently and for getting me onto the PP twice in a row!
Pretty shade of blue - scilla perhaps....I rather like the idea of this for areas of our garden.

Such a delicate shade of blue - could it be forget-me-not ! Love looking through the strong and beautifully ornate , wrought iron fencing !

@sarah19 @beryl I have no idea what the flowers are. They're small and star-like, probably bulbs, but not forget-me-not.

Awash with blue....look like forget me knots from here but I think it’s far too early for them!

I’ve had a delivery from Eaton Socon - Hotel Chocolat!

@judithg Yes, that's right, there's an outlet centre and cafe here, where the Kath Kidston outlet used to be. I've been a couple of times, (last year) it makes a change from the usual coffee shops.

@busylady it’s a shame about the Kath Kidson outlet- I was fond of it!

@judithg I did shop there but sometimes the quality was poor and I didn't feel the sale prices were a good deal.

Wonderful POV, peeping at the blue , through the railings.
