Like nature, we will find a way to grow again

The daffodil and the snowdrop are probably more relevant this year than any year since the end of the Second World War. We’ve been through the trauma times. We now need to feel that we can rebound, rise again, have fun again. Hence nature’s harbingers of renewal.

I can still remember the strange feeling of walking across a bombsite in Bayswater in the early 1950s and seeing flowers growing in a destroyed garden. Nature had outwitted the Nazi bombs.
