Lovely - if distinctly “undulating” - #Parkrun in the forest this morning with @walking-class-hero.bsky.social, sort of vaguely on the way to Devon.

One of the great things about living in south west London is the ability to go and see the wonderful Slim Chance at a variety of local venues. First time at Hampton Hub Club tonight for me and @walking-class-hero.bsky.social - and here they are playing The Poacher. 2025 gig 12 if my maths is right.

Winter in Richmond Park, #London 📷🌳 #LoveLondonWalkLondon
Photo showing some bare winter trees contrasted against a cloudy white sky. They are surrounded by grass, mostly short and green, but with some brown. In the distance a path cuts across the image, and there are more trees beyond.

Wimbledon Common, Merton, #London 📷🌳 #LoveLondonWalkLondon
Photo showing a bare winter tree amid a woodland clearing. The tree is surrounded by a kind of brownish long grass. There is a wooden bench next to the tree, and some darker brown plants of some kind. In the distance a thick line of trees is visible. The sky is pale blue with a fair degree of cover by light clouds.

Billingsgate Market, Tower Hamlets 📷 #London #Reflection
Photo showing a long red bricked market building beside a dock. The dock water is fairly still and shows a reflection of the market. Some tower blocks loom tall behind the market, and those are reflected too. The sky is quite blue with a small amount of cloud, and a little yellow haze on the horizon as this photo was taken not long after sunrise.

On a freezing foggy day, Lesnes Abbey Woods, #London Borough of Bexley 📷🌳🌫️ #LoveLondonWalkLondon
Photo showing a frozen pond in a woodland, shrouded in fog. The trees have shed most of their leaves, with some leaves having fallen on the ice. Lots of branches hang down into our view. The trunks of some farther away trees are seen reflected in the ice. The fog makes everything beyond the pond indistinct.

St Augustine’s and Forty Tree Green, Kilburn, Westminster #London 📷 ⛪️🌳 🍂 🥅
Photo showing an ornate spired gothic church looming over a compact green lawn. There are football/soccer goals set up on the green, and the grass is strewn with fallen leaves. The image is bordered on both sides by tall trees with autumn coloring, particularly on our right. The sky is blue and the image is brightly lit by autumn sunshine from our left, the trees casting long shadows across the green.

The River Thames, at Kingston upon Thames, #London 📷 #LoveLondonWalkLondon
Photo showing a broad river, flanked by urban buildings on the left bank, and trees on the right bank. There are boats moored on the river bank on either side. The river’s surface is rippled. Looking ahead into the distance, our view of the river becomes hazy in the spring sunshine. The sky above is a pale blue with light cloud.

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
