Very uplifting for those of us across the pond who are still waiting for hyacinths, daffodils, and tulips to nose up through our dry soil. Stunning photographs!

I am a great lover of cemeteries myself, and find them a much-needed refuge both for wild nature and for the stressed and heart-sick of the human species. This, plus your blossom post a few days ago, have been like a long, cold drink of water on a hot day. Thank you.

I feel that the time has come for me to thank you for your wonderful daily blog; for your effortless and beautiful writing about the glories and trials of the East End of London. As I awake in deepest Norfolk at 6 am, I look for that constant on my phone – that comforting soothing little amber envelope which appears every morning like a gold nugget ready to be discovered, containing another adventure by you, the Gentle Author. I am then transported to the streets and places where my dear grandmother walked as a child and then grew up (she went to Lady Hollis school around 1915 but I do not know whether it still exists).

Thank you for the way in which you see wonder, beauty and a story to be told in everything and for the detail of history which you impart. I delight in it every day.

Amanda, Norfolk

It exactly captures the sense that new life arises from death which pervades nature. Thank you G.A for another lovely start to the day.
