It’s not quite Spring yet but I thought it would be nice to have a wander around the City and see what’s happening – especially in the areas managed by the wonderful team of City of London gardeners.
I started close to home since the Magnolia trees are in blossom near St Giles Church …
Very old gravestones from the former churchyard with the medieval/Roman wall in the background …
If you work at 88 Wood Street you arrive to be greeted by a nice, living, green wall …
Onward to Postman’s Park (that’s the Watts Memorial in the background) …
On Silk Street …
At St Mary-le-Bow …
Just outside St Paul’s Underground Station …
The Cleary Gardens are on Queen Victoria Street …
Across the road at the junction with Bread Street …
So everything is coming along nicely. I shall report again in a few weeks’ time.
I noticed that Wood Street and London Wall were shut, saw this mysterious pile of boxes being assembled in the distance, and decided to investigate …
Just as I stood behind them a voice rang out ‘SILENCE’ … ‘THREE, TWO ONE … ACTION!’ and a stunt man plunged into the box pile from the balcony above. Unfortunately, I missed the action and could only catch him climbing out …
Sadly, they didn’t repeat the performance!
Finally, nice to see the Institute of Chartered Accountants demonstrating their support for Ukraine …
