Blossom in a pandemic

Even in the midst of this pandemic, Nature just carries on of course.
This has been a particularly wonderful year for blossom, and we've had two hot sunny weeks to make it even more dazzling. 
As people go out and take their permitted one bout of daily exercise, they stop to stare and admire the blossoms. It's almost as though we are in Japan - surrounded by Hanami-style blossom awareness.

Chalked rainbow

Such home-made rainbows - painted, chalked, made of fabric - are appearing everywhere.  They are intended as a sign of hope to all during the coronavirus crisis.

Coal-door

It was hard to work out at first what the function of this little door was - or what, when it was opened, you might see.

A passer-by explained that it was an old coal-hole.
Most houses' coal-holes would be at ground-level, as the coal-store was often in the house cellar, and the coal merchant could just pour his delivery straight in and down. Presumably this house had no cellar, or coal-shed, so a back-room must have been used - and this unusually high coal-hole was where the load was poured in.
