Lesnes Abbey Wood is a survival of ancient landscape within the urban sprawl of south-east London. In Richard Mabey's seminal book 'Flora Britannica' it is described as "one of the nearest colonies of authentically wild flowers to London". In fact it is actually within Greater London bordered by Plumstead, Thamesmead and Erith.
 The ruins of Lesnes Abbey remain and the woods rise in sloping hills above them. At this time of year they are noted for swathes of Wild Daffodils (Narcissus pseudonarcissus). It's far from the Lake District where Wordsworth saw his host of golden daffodils, but the same species.
 I shall try to return sometime next week. The daffodils should still be in flower and I noticed patches of Wood Anemones (Anemone nemorosa) among them. The foliage was showing and the flowers will probably unfurl a few days from now. The combination of the creamy yellow shades of Narcissi over a haze of white Anemones could be quite something.
