Unchartered Streets

Like most born-and-bred Londoners, I like to spend the last Saturday of September walking from Southall to North Harrow along the Yeading Brook. Sadly, the early signs were not encouraging.

A three-armed signpost in woods for the Hillingdon Way, with an additional arm affixed to the pole saying “Hillingdon Trail Diversion”.

Passed Wonder

More recently, I've visited #YeadingBrook - the Crane becomes it rather suddenly near #Southall. The new brook is an intensely interesting locale. There's the #anthropomorphic riverbank of Gutteridge Meadows, but also many places to #reflect upon the world (27/35)

On the side of a river, a raised hollow has tufts and darker areas that give the impression of a face of dark earth and a hand of curling leaves. Below it there is a small area of mud and sticks. Behind there is a wide variety of undergrowth.

A small brook runs between bushes and undergrowth, the plants reflect in it so brightly it's not clear where the reflection begins.

Bright sunlight reflects in a pond, in the same place as a bare-branched plant is growing out in several directions.

View at a slight angle along a river running under a bridge and the concrete path next to it. The tunnel, its tiling, and the greenery beyond it all reflect very clearly in the still water.

At Yeading Brook, a thriving meadow rich in wildflowers, we carefully collect seeds by hand to restore and enhance other local nature reserves.🌸
