Signs Of Life
First Snowdrops in Wapping
Even now, in the depths of Winter, there is plant life stirring. As I travelled around the East End over the past week in the wet and cold, I kept my eyes open for new life and was rewarded for my quest by the precious discoveries that you see here. Fulfilling my need for assurance that we are advancing in our passage through the year, each plant offers undeniable evidence that, although there may be months of winter yet to come, I can look forward to the spring that will arrive before too long.

THANK YOU soo much for the interesting post which I have just opened. I live now in South Africa and I saw the catkins for the first time since I left so long ago!! It was really heart warming. I have followed you since over 20 years now…your posts are amazing. my father lived in Artillery Road – and with your assistance over the years, we have now found my grandparents graves. Thank you aagain.
