I have been unable to come to my London second home for well over a year now, and I have missed two Spring seasons. Thank you for showing me the beautiful trees there. All the London Parks and Greens are so beautiful in the early Spring — my favourite time of year.

GA, thank you for the lovely collage of budding trees and flowers that you recorded in East London. You folks are about three weeks ahead of us in New England.

I guess that Robert Browning (1812-1889) said it best in “Home Thoughts from Abroad:”

OH, to be in England now that April ’s there
And whoever wakes in England sees, some morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough 5
In England—now!

In our region we are not able to start any outdoor plants until mid-May — so this is the time of year when we get fidgety and eager to get our hands into the soil. Our recent temps have been quite warm — so even MORE temptation. However, the snow tires stay on the vehicles, the warm coats and heavy scarves remain at the ready — We know the reality of it.

It makes your post today, even more enjoyable. So glad you are experiencing this lavish
display of nature.

I take a walk every evening just to see them as I love the explosion of bright colour they give. It has taken away the drabness of this past difficult year. Enjoy them while you can, nature is one of the best free things we have in our lives.

Having lived opposite Victoria Park for many years, the arrival of spring and seeing all the blossom throughout the Park was a source of real joy for a small, East End girl.

I think that the virus here has its good side: the purified atmosphere causes an even more splendid blossoming!

Love & Peace
