With April's arrival, growth is all around us, and with it, a simple gratitude for a life well-lived. It is ours for the taking if we are willing to slow down and notice.
This Spring has been wonderful hasn't it, helped of course by the gorgeous weather we've had.
I enjoyed learning a little about the history of St George's Garden. It's good to know that even in busy areas like London, places of solitude can be found.
This year we have had such a splendid 'Spring.' Last year was very wet so I have made the most of it these last two months by getting outside when I can. Love the writing about St. George's Garden, history and wildlife to be found in the busiest of cities. I feel quite sad Spring is almost over!
Lovely post David. I love HCBs (as they are known in our house) and eat them all year round when I can get them. I enjoy them for breakfast, cold or toasted but always with masses of butter.
I love these “late” spring reflections from people. Where I am located, the southeastern US, it is sliding into summer already. There is one tree I have, a glorious crab apple, that when it blooms a chorus of bees show up. That is how I know spring has arrived. I can still hear them though they have left to tend gardens elsewhere. That tree is now a luscious green that will stay so long as drought doesn’t come for us this year.
I love this so much! 😍🥰❤️ Such beautiful reflections. I can’t wait to go to St George’s garden again. I feel I need to recreate the moment when a man brought bird seed for the doves!!! 😘
I have walked past St George’s so many times over the decades I have lived in London but I have never been inside. You’ve inspired me to explore it next time I’m in the area! ☺️
Oh you must go in! We watched a man come in who obviously comes in every day at the same time to feed the birds - it was like something out of Mary Poppins! 🌿

Your Hot Cross buns are always delicious and St George’s gardens look splendid with green shoots beginning to show.
