Sugar Magnolia Blossoms Blooming

Spring is fantastically uplifting, and these magnolias outside St Mary le Strand church are especially fantastic. This is one of the oldest parishes in London (and given their situation, this seems a likely claim) and it is surrounded now by thrashing traffic. These magnolias speak of another time. In my case, intimately linked with the Grateful Dead. We all have our crosses to bear ;-)
