Removing Invasives and Litter

Saturday 12th July

Written by Lewisham runner

There really wasn't much litter along the Ravensbourne in Deptford's Brookmill Park this week, probably a couple of carrier bags full - regular sessions make a difference. It left me with time to pull out some more of the invasive Himalayan Balsam from the banks - including the biggest plant I've ever pulled out (it was broken close to the roots afterwards to prevent it growing again.)

M’Dear Aaahh Cake

Friday 11th July

Written by Lewisham runner

Cakes are important on the lovely Ms Y’s shopping lists and as they didn’t have exactly what she wanted we debated options on the phone. This included a Madeira Cake and we both wondered whether it originated from Madeira or contained the eponymous fortified wine. The answer was neither, rather it was eaten in Georgian England with a glass of Madeira wine. Ms Y went for the cherry and sultana cake anyway.

No Specials!

Friday 11th July

Written by Lewisham runner

Fortunately this was not a lack of Coventry’s finest purveyors of English 2 tone and ska revival band. Rather there was a lack of the now traditional item on Mr J’s list that involved searching in every other shop on Deptford High Street. The shop just involved the market, ASDA and Tesco for some.

Pick of the litter

Monday 7th July

Written by Kim

A last minute change of plan didn't deter us from heading out into the borough and doing good! Armed with our trusty litter pickers we headed to Ladywell Fields. I trailed behind and once I got to Ladywell Fields everyone was busy litter picking.

We tackled either side of the park up to the running track and then up and over the curly bridge to see what litter awaited us there but also to see the nest of birds built on a shopping trolley in the river alongside a chicken shop wrapper (presumably there to remind the chicks of their home town of Lewisham). Sadly the recent rain has washed away the nest ☹

After trying to fit all our rubbish in the bins so that the foxes didn't spoil our efforts, we headed our separate ways, the group back to Glass Mill and Vic and I in the direction of Catford.

Next week we are heading up and over the hill(s) to Seniors!

Back again after my parkrun mission to continue helping Subo with some weeding and tidying ahead of our party tomorrow! We were able to make use of GGL Paul’s donated compost bin, which reminded me of this photo! 😂😂😂 (Remove the Paul before using the bin!)
