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 …
