Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Hanami in the neighbourhood
The all too fleeting blossoming of the cherry trees in the neighbourhood are creating a wonderful opportunity for some hanami this week, find time to spend a few moments lingering under the trees to watch bees and appreciate this beautiful show put on by the trees. Tip for the dog walkers: you can even practise hanami at night.
Perhaps it may even move you to compose a haiku or two:
haru kaze ni / fukidashi warau / hana mogana
A Spring breeze is blowing
I’m bursting with laughter
— wishing for flowers
Matsuo Basho, Spring, 1668
As ever, share your pictures of blossom in your street in the comments below.
All the pictures above were taken on ladder roads.

The half a mile length of Cranley Gardens towards Muswell Hill should be spectacular this year.
From Harringay/Finsbury Park go to the far end of Park Road (W7 bus) and then look left, all the way up to Muswell Hill Road.
Today the buds are just beginning to open, by Monday I estimate it will be pinkly spectacular.
