Comments on: East End Blossom Time https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/04/11/east-end-blossom-time-o/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Sat, 16 Apr 2022 09:04:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Miriam https://spitalfieldslife.com/2022/04/11/east-end-blossom-time-o/#comment-1456772 Sat, 16 Apr 2022 09:04:12 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=191264#comment-1456772 Thank you for yer photies! I do love cherry blossom, but it is so fleeting with the petal confetti blowing along the asphalt within a few days…there is a good show in a square in Edinburgh. Thank you for the images of sanity in the city. Yours Aye.

At ground level we have something called Barlauch – wild garlic – which is perfuming the air. People pick it and add it to all sorts of spring dishes, it’s delicious. I love it in vegetable tarts, soup and hummus. Best bit is it’s free!

Aren’t there any Tory councillors around to uproot them just for the fun of it?

You know how one remembers the smell of things so vividly sometimes? I always associate cherry blossom with my childhood and this distinctive smell but does cherry blossom have a ‘distinctive smell’ or am i thinking of something else? (Apple blossom perhaps?)

Brilliant to uncovered all these. Sometimes the backgrounds were as interesting as the blossoming trees. Some very interesting corners of the area revealed
