Nunhead Cemetery, London
Visited May 2020
London, the UK and indeed most of the world might be under some form of quarantine lockdown at the moment, but thankfully we're still allowed out for some exercise.
Last weekend's walk took me to the re-opened Nunhead Cemetery (it was closed from mid-March until late April due to social distancing guidelines). It was a grey, overcast day which was probably keeping some people away, so the cemetery was no more busy than it was in the past. After a few weeks of being closed, it seemed the greenery was lusher than ever, the wildlife a bit less cautious (so many little robins hopping about close to me - but just too far or fast for my phone camera to capture). As ever, this is a place of nature and contemplation, and it's a real haven at this time, a reminder perhaps that although death is inevitable, life continues, spring still happens and the flowers still bloom.
