Through the garden gate. A small, green space, woodland planting, moss and ferns. Once the primroses have gone over, it is almost entirely green. A tiny, peaceful sanctuary.
Picture shows a totally green garden through the bars of an iron gate. A small patch of moss surrounded by woodland planting and a yew hedge.

Reading the #TinyJoys hashtag is always a joy in itself. So I'm reminded to include a country walk with family and this pinkish hawthorn I saw on it

Having got as far as Kenwood, it was a beautiful day to enjoy a walk across the Heath via Parliament Hill view point (how many generations have stood there as London has changed over centuries!) before heading into Hampstead #hampsteadhealth #parliamenthill #viewpoint #london #tinyjoys
A neatly mown lawn at Kenwood with a park bench in the mid ground to the left - looking down towards a pond with a back drop of trees, shades of green A view from Parliament Hill - looking between the trees across the city of London with St Paul’s and the Shard etc in the hazy spring sun.

Last week, I took myself off to Kenwood House because I’d been told that the rhododendron were amazing - absolutely popping with colour #kenwoodhouse #rhododendron #colour #tinyjoys
The rhododendron at Kenwood House - several beds of plants in flower: reds, pinks and oranges. Set against the backdrop of neatly mown lawns, mature trees and blue sky

Taken after evensong last night. The glow of candles in the stillness and beauty of this ancient place where we add our praise & prayer to those which have echoed down the centuries. Our stories held within God’s story. This is precious. There is consolation in this #sacredspace #tinyjoys
The inside of St Mary’s church in Hendon taken after evensong. The lights have been turned off so it’s lit by the glow of candle light alone. You can see the outline of the pulpit and chairs, the medieval arches and the small windows above.

I just planned meals for the next week and did grocery shopping for less than $100. Feeling productive and prepared for the week ahead. Tonight is Pork Chop Suey and I’m going to make my stroke survivor husband help me make it. Anything to help him engage and feel productive himself. #TinyJoys

Doing the tourist thing and watching the Viking March this afternoon, and then the final evening performance at the Eye of York, because it's my first year living here and I never did this stuff when in London. So many people bringing so much passion and talent #tinyjoys

Church daffs are out! #TinyJoys
Photo shows the edge of the churchyard - grass on the left hand side, in the middle some iron railings, with patches of yellow flowers with green foliage growing along the fence. In the distance is a large, old tree, currently bare, and behind that some houses
On the right hand side is a small redbrick building with a tiled roof and white painted window frames.

An unusual attribution on a hymn we sang this morning - I'd love to know the story behind it. It makes me happy that someone at Hymn Book Central went "That's an important detail, make sure we include that", when they could have just put it down as "Anon" #TinyJoys ✝️⚓
A photo of a page from "Hymns, Ancient and Modern. It shows hymn number 761, which starts "Praise the Lord! Ye heavens, adore him". The attribution underneath the hymn reads "from a leaf pasted into the Foundling Hospital Psalms, Hymns and Anthems, London, c. 1797, based on Psalm 148"
