Lovely little circuit around Lewisham and Blackheath. Mrs K very happy to have her prescription collected and the most important medicine of all, pesto from the Lewisham Italian Deli! Lovely to meet her and hope to see her again.

A trio of the Lewisham litterati picked litter in three different places across the borough - Adi in Mayow Park in Sydenham, Dan in Blackheath, where he seemed to manage to pick himself, and Paul along the Ravensbourne in Deptford's Brookmill Park where he added some Himalayan Balsam removal for variety.

A group of a dozen or so comprised of local volunteers, children and a couple of good-gymers ferrying water up and down a parched hedgrow with buckets and watering cans.

We only had enough water in the container for half the thirsty sapling which had been struggling in the dry weather, but managed to water them all with the use of a piece of string, a metal bucket and the Ravensbourne.

300 shrubs later and with tired arms the hedge will have a chance to get through another few days of hot weather, and I suspect we will be back soon.

Lovely day for it. Good fun. Apologies I’m great at remembering to take photos!
