Comments on: Spring Flowers At Bow Cemetery https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/02/15/spring-flowers-at-bow-cemetery-x/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Mon, 11 Mar 2019 23:21:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Maureen Cocklin (nee Buckle) https://spitalfieldslife.com/2019/02/15/spring-flowers-at-bow-cemetery-x/#comment-1269489 Mon, 11 Mar 2019 23:21:18 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=172529#comment-1269489 Lovely article as always. In the 1970s my friend and I used the cemetary as a shortcut. I didn’t like walking through there struck though. We put on a bit of a sprint then.

The Spring flowers are at their best, and the park is a wonderful example of how nature can re-establish herself in a man made location.

I remember being fascinated 20 or so years ago, watching the ORDER in which the bulbs erupted in the UK in Spring.
Thank you. It came flooding back.
The butterfly was the ‘cherry on the cake.’

I think the early bulbs convey a sense of hope and that better days are nearer – something we all desperately need at the moment. I found the image of the “Sadly Missed” Red Admiral butterfly particularly poignant. I hope seeing these harbingers of Spring made you feel better.

I’m finding as I get older, the key to life and living is to take in absolutely everything around you, no matter how small. Everything is significant.

Thank you GA.

Some of my family are amongst ‘ the numberless dead of East London’ buried there including a much loved Uncle Harry who loved flowers, he often took me to Victoria Park as a child teaching me the names of various flowers in the Rose Garden there…….how fitting that he lies resting under such a wonderful blanket of colour.
