Officially spring!!






The clocks sprung forward by an hour this morning - so it must officially be spring!


So some of us decided to plant a whole heap of new bulbs along the canal again.


300 to be precise!!


Of course - for those of us without a garden of our own - this is the next best thing - but guess what we all agreed was the absolute bestest thing ever?


The amount of cyclists, ramblers, working-off-lunchers, canoeists, even the odd (very) joy riding biker - ALL saying how nice the existing flowers are looking!!!!


For any sceptics out there - who are still not too sure about brightening Hackney Wick up with plants & trees - just chat to your neighbours & see how appreciative they are of what we're all doing!?


You'll be out there with a spade & fork before you know it.

Hi

If you remember we met you along the canal yesterday on Bank Holiday Monday.

Our whole family thought what you are doing is very beautiful. It makes walking along the bright blue Olympic wall a lot more enjoyable.

We promise to bring along some wild meadow flower seeds on our next walk, and we'll sprinkle them along the path as we stroll along.

Thanks for stopping to chat.
