Snowdrops in November? South London suburban garden 🌱 #gardening

Running to enter the #AlphabetChallenge #WeekSforShadows (If this picture looks familiar, then it probably is, I posted it a couple of days ago on my other "photography only" account. I since changed my mind about having two accounts, one specifically for photography, so the other one was deleted)

Good morning Mr Moon 🌝

Skipped #parkrun this morning, so went for a shorter #walk instead. Royal Marsden September Challenge walk 8 with 40km now complete 😀

Nonsuch #parkrun this morning, Jeffing for the first half, then #walking with a friend for the second half. Royal Marsden September Challenge walk 4, about 20 km completed in week 1. Another good turn out, just under 1000 took part. #RoyalMarsden #CancerCharity

Nonsuch parkrun and 5K Your Way. We also remembered David Gullen, a Nonsuch 5K Your Way ambassador, recently lost to prostate cancer. David always finished his run with arms outstretched and "flew" into the finish line. Just over 1000 attendees. #parkrun #5KYourWay #5KYW #MoveAgainstCancer #Nonsuch

Wise words...

If you have a bumper crop on your allotment and you have not yet encountered Pam the Jam then you need to check out this link www.bbc.co.uk/food/search?... there will be a recipe there that you need! 👌

Does anyone have a foolproof recipe for Crab Apple jelly? Just over 7lb (3.25kg) of apples. #gardening #homegrown #allotment #gardenproduce #apples

Spotted on my walk yesterday, this lovely #thicktrunkTuesday specimen of a London Plane tree in Watermeads Nature Reserve, Mitcham

🌿☕ This lovely cow 🐮 is called: Celine Dion 🎶 Well not the consonants, just the vowels.. #sorry

A bit of #MondayMotivation for us... 🫶

A lovely linear morning walk today, 6km from home to Morden Hall Park, southwest London. #walking #Morden #London

A rather nice harvest from my small garden this morning. Still loads of tomatoes, beans and courgettes to come and leeks & carrots have been planted/sown in the tubs that had the potatoes in. Pleased how things are going despite the continued lack of rain #gardening #homeproduce #growyourown 🍅🌱🥔🥕🌧️

Drawn back to Morden #parkrun for a satisfying test on grass and inclines. Great to see the #parkwalk initiative getting a turn in the spotlight . I see the future, and it is a little bit slower 😂 #LetsWalk #LoveParkrun #Running

Walking at #Nonsuch #parkrun this morning. Time was 51:41 and position 881 out of 908. My 101st event and I was proudly wearing my 100 Milestone shirt 🙂 #NonsuchPark #walking #parkwalk

Spotted a croc out foraging on this morning's walk 😉

Drink plenty of water, eat as healthily as you can and try to get a bit of exercise every now and then, because there are people you *definitely* want to outlive.

The gorgeous flower of a Swan neck gourd growing in Wisley’s Hilltop World Food Garden. #flowersonFriday 🌱 If you want me I will be in my tiny garden.

It’s a fond #FlyDay farewell: Puffins are leaving our shores and vanishing into the blue once more... See you next Spring! 😍

Music nerds among you... I'm sure there was a 1970's rock song that started with a man's growly voice saying 'hello'. Or rather, 'allo'. Can't find it now though. Google no help at all, of course.

Completed my 💯th parkrun this morning, all of them at Nonsuch. Time now to start a bit of tourism 🤔 Another good turnout, 892 walkers, joggers and runners taking part. #parkrun #parkwalk #parkrunuk #nonsuchparkrun

Sunday morning Explorer Walk with some of my Nordic Walking group. An 8km circular at Happy Valley & Farthing Down near Coulsdon in Surrey #NordicWalking #PolesApart #walking #countryside #Surrey 🥾👣🌳

My 99th parkrun today walking at Nonsuch. Great turnout, 864 walkers, joggers and runners, plus big thanks to this week's volunteers 👏 #parkrun #parkwalk #nonsuchparkrun #5kyourway #5kyw #cancersupport

Heard a boy in a bookshop ask his dad what the shelves full of OS maps were. Dad explained that they were used to go places as "there was a time before GPS", and opened a map to show him. Son didn't understand at all. As a map lover it breaks my heart.

Been using Meta Threads for a couple of weeks, but I don't like it. Essentially the same as Bluesky, but not as nice. I've uninstalled it and I'll be sticking to Bluesky as my one and only 🙂

Welcome rain overnight for the garden, heavy but steady so it's soaking in nicely 🙂🌱🌧️

Some visitors to the garden before the rain: Meadow Brown and Speckled Wood butterflies and a juvenile Blue Tit #lovemygarden 🦋🐦🪻🌱

Our Sempervivum, commonly known as Houseleek or Hens and Chicks, looks like it might be about to produce a flower!

Happy #WorldHumanistDay! Here's one our favourite little definitions of humanism by our Vice President @profaliceroberts.bsky.social

Tomatoes. We sow them, nurture them, pot them on, fret over them, plant them out and care for them. Then you look at your pot of sunflowers and find half a dozen have sprung up from your home made compost and are happily doing their own thing. I've got more "volunteer" tomatoes than any other 🌱🍅

Gave #parkrun a miss today (at my age I'm too fond of a lie-in to get up early every Saturday 🙂), so I did a local 5K My Way #walk instead 😀 #5kyw #5kmyway #walking

Walking at Nonsuch parkrun today with the 5KYW crew. Great catching up with folk I've not seen for a while 🙂 Amazing turnout, over 1,000 people took part today 😀 #parkrun #walking #5kyw #5KYourWay #MoveAgainstCancer #BeatCancer

Summer reading all sorted 📚 in no particular order 😉 @bobmort.bsky.social @ianrankin1.bsky.social @richardosman1.bsky.social @peterjamesauthor.bsky.social #read #reading #books

Walked 5 miles today to raise funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. A hot day's walking but all in a good cause #MarsdenMarch

I'm taking part in the Banham Marsden March today raising funds for a fantastic cancer charity. Walking 5 miles from New Malden to Royal Marsden hospital, Sutton #MarsdenMarch #BeatCancer

A lovely display of wisteria at Oaks Park in Sutton. My colour co-ordinated walking companion blending in nicely 🙂 #OaksPark #outdoors #walking

Our tiny Saxifrage showing it's first flower

Big scam ads right now

"Ne'er cast a clout, 'til May be out". Well, our May is out, so expect clouts to be cast 😄

Walking at Nonsuch parkrun this morning, plus monthly 5K Your Way - Move Against Cancer meet up. Great turn out today, over 950 people walking, jogging, running and volunteering 👏 #walking #parkrun #NonsuchPark #5KYW #5KYourWay #MoveAgainstCancer

A lovely morning's Nordic Walk at Gatton Park and Nut Wood. Bluebells are in abundance. #SurreyHills #walking #wildflowers
