The sun continues to shine over London - seventh day in a row (
so unusual for this or indeed any time of year!) In the morning, a brisk walk around Ealing to catch the trees in blossom.
Above: apple blossom, Cleveland Road, W13;
below: magnolias and roses, Mount Avenue, W5. I would guess that London is at least a month ahead of Warsaw when it comes to the arrival of spring. Indeed, the UK Met Office sets spring as starting on 1 March, 19 days before the start of astrological spring (when the sun crosses the Tropic of Capricorn). For views of apple and cherry blossom on our trees in Jeziorki, we will have to wait until 20-26 April.
Below: Crowds from the riverside pubs by Hammersmith Bridge are overflowing onto the footpath. Favourite haunts in my London days - the Blue Anchor, the Rutland, the Ship, the Dove, the Black Lion.
Below: The warmth and sunshine brings out the cyclists, the pedestrians and the picnickers. Furnival Gardens, by the banks of the Thames at Hammersmith, W6.
