My grandmother was buried there in 1960. I still remember following the horse drawn hearse wagon to the cemetery from her house which was located down the road and around the back of the cemetery.

I’m in hospital for a few days and these lovely peaceful photos of nature shall help me drift off to sleep tonight whilst taking my stresses away.

One of the latter, though, image_0103 seems to me to be of a most unusual memorial – a gravestone with a stepped outline such that I have never before seen.

Your words carried me to this secret garden, bursting blooms reminding those asleep that Spring returns again. Bright cloud scudding above, damp carpet yielding to foot fall. Rain drops bless all.
Thank you.

I always look forward to your posts describing the cemetery and bountiful Spring growth. The scattering of mirrors so perfectly captured with your words.

A funny coincidence. Earlier this morning I brought a tray of breakfast to my husband, still asleep in the bedroom with shades drawn. “What kind of day is it?” he asked. “A foggy day in London town”, I replied.

**Sympathies and Best wishes to your reader Achim.

GA, thank you for that lovely essay and the gorgeous shots of Bow Cemetery in early spring.

Great catalogue of the plants – “I took a survey of the wildflowers around me, primroses spangling the green, the white star-like stitchwort adorning graves, a scattering of palest pink ladies smock highlighting the ground cover, yellow celandines sharp and bright against the dark green leaves, violets and wild strawberries nestling close to the earth and may blossom and cherry blossom up above – and, of course, the bluebells’ hazy azure mist shimmering between the lines of stones tilting at irregular angles.”

Those paths looked so inviting…
