Only two days after the previous post and spring is in Deptford already. Walking towards church this morning I noticed little clumps of flowers growing out the base of some council estate walls. Afterwards I saw at least a dozen species of flowers blooming on the old railway embankment at Brookmill Park - though I'm not going to risk naming them till I get home and look at my books! Well, not the various yellow groundsels and suchlike daisy relatives anyway... I think I can safely say that we have white dead nettle back :)

a flower? a flower? a flower? flowers
a flower? a flower? ladybird a flower?

And the flower buds of the magnolia outside the college door have now opened!

(I hope those pictures work - I'm still trying to see what I can get away with here...)
