Sunshine, early spring, Ealing

Returning from Scotland, I popped into my parents for the weekend. I arrived in Ealing on a hot Friday morning to witness spring fully under way; cherry trees along St Stephen's Road heaving under the weight of glorious blossom (above) and trees bursting into leaf (right). Spring reaches Warsaw several weeks later; while London is experiencing shirtsleeve weather, Warsaw is still shivering (+6C) with rain and sleet to come. Still, the later spring's arrival, the more welcome it is.
