Of snowdrops and sheep drops

I do love these little spots of ruralia in our urban maelstrom. Turning one way, we could see the Gherkin and NatWest Tower, to the other Canary Wharf. The contrast made me think of the coal fields across the cornfields in industrirural South Yorkshire. Afterwards, we wandered through Stepney, up through Mile End Park, attempting to go to the Ecology Centre (closed) and the Arts Pavilion (closed) before chancing upon a iridescent host of snowdrops and getting the 277 home.
