Comments on: Spring Flowers At Bow https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/02/19/spring-flowers-at-bow/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Thu, 02 Mar 2017 20:30:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Bob Ball https://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/02/19/spring-flowers-at-bow/#comment-1139119 Thu, 02 Mar 2017 20:30:04 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=154432#comment-1139119 Dear GA….lovely blog. Not dissimilar in spirit to Bertie”s blog last week with the Cotswold snowdrops. Graveyards are wonderful for people who died a long time ago. I couldnt contemplate someone close I loved being in one and proving beyond all doubt that they really are dead. We are heading for a dearth of such places with fewer and fewer burials. And must hold onto these wonderful places.

Here in the Hudson Valley, we will have to wait a very long time until we have sightings of flowers……It makes me enjoy these photos even more. In our small rural town we have the Freeground Cemetery where many of the old tilting head stones are weather-worn; the inscriptions muffled and lost.
But one particular one stands proud, engraved with the name of Captain Elliot, who survived the Revolutionary War and came home to finish out his days here.

Spring is on its way!

Your annual photos of the arrival of spring flowers in Bow are almost as important as the arrival of the flowers themselves.

Your global reach will be welcomed by all out there. We all need that magical lift at this time, low ebb factor at the end of winter. The butterfly is making its first foray of the year after hibernating in the grave yard all winter- well spotted. So go to Kew Gardens for the big Spring bulb show, done that its breath-taking.

I shall take a stroll on Monday to see it.
