This survived right through the year and was happily back in leaf last week. It's gone now, think the people strimming verges and cutting stuff back around the station probably removed it. I'm really pissed off and sad for the plant

Oakley Square Gardens in between Euston Station and Camden Town. So British the way the trees are green and springlike in contrast with the grey sky!

Had a walk around the city of London this morning, stopped for a while at the Guildhall , it was revamped in the 70s ?, they sure got away with a lot of stuff then

Haven't been out and about much recently, but did go for a stroll with my daughter last Friday. All looking good on the early summer front. Also, my echiums are starting to flower and pleasingly are already pleasingly full of bees

Beautiful. What's the scaffolding?

Beautiful. What's the scaffolding?

Building a platform to get a better view?

 

[Boru]

Beautiful. What's the scaffolding?

The scaffolding is used as a mountain rescue staging post, info on reek Sunday.. just throw a tarp over it and it's ready

Edit to add - it's not on the mountain top, it's only about half way up..

Do helicopters ever land on top?

 

[Boru]

Do helicopters ever land on top?

Not on the top no, there is another flat piece near the scaffolding that can be used for preparing people to be winched into the helicopter.. it doesn't land, just hovers and casualty is winched from mountain. Landing rescues are lower down. It's busy place and many are unprepared leading to falls and also health issues like heart attacks and fainting..

P.s. they can land on top just usually they don't..

I walked to Nore Hill today - the first time in ages. Haven't been walking too far recently as I've been having problems with my achilles tendon. It held up for over 8 miles so I hope it's fully healed.

A weed. Don't see many of them around here as it's too alkaline for them.





If the trees get much bigger London will disappear
