Charlton Road from Westcombe Hill
A colourful display of crocuses brightens the fenced off triangle of grass at this busy road junction although here it is unusually empty of both vehicles and people.

Plane fruits
The London Plane is distinctive not only for its scaly bark but for the hanging fruits which persist through the winter.

London Marathon - front runner
The "elite" runners go along Shooters Hill. This was the front runner of the "rest of the pack", less than a mile into the race. From his running number this is Richard Marriott who came in 79th overall in a very creditable 2 hours 36 minutes.

London Marathon - the pack
The "elite" runners go along Shooters Hill. After a few individuals already gaining ground, this is the beginning of "rest of the pack" coming along Charlton Road, less than a mile into the race.

London Marathon - walking and wombling
Less than a mile into the race and one runner has already lapsed into walking. Not surprisingly the race results do not show her finishing. Let's hope she manages it next time.
The Womble was defying calls from the race organisers not to wear restrictive costumes on one of the hottest Marathon days yet. Surely s/he should have been coming at the back anyway to pick up everyone's litter?

Spring comes to Batley Park
One of the first sunny days at the end of winter, and the crocuses and daffodils are out in "Batley Park", the somewhat grand name given to a triangular patch of open space in the middle of the Royal Standard roundabout.
