To brighten things up until things revive fully, here are a series of photos taken in the south west London suburb of Teddington over the last two springtimes.
Even in the midst of death there is life.
This picture was taken in Teddington Cemetery, which includes the final resting places of the author and market gardener R.D. Blackmore, the "fifth Beatle" Neil Aspinall, musician Art Wood, and many more.
