They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,
The moon,
They danced by the light of the moon."

Waxing gibbous moon tonight is nearly full.
They danced by the light of the moon,

This year's incredible fruit crop on the lovingly-tended Arbutus unedo aka Strawberry tree at the old stables on St James's Road, Bermondsey. In Portugal, the "strawberries" or medronho are used to make a delicious brandy. We may give it a try if we can beat the birds to them!

Came down too soon,
And asked his way to Norwich;
He went by the south,
And burned his mouth
By eating cold plum porridge." #ManInTheMoon tonight, eve of the #BloodMoon

Take a stroll down Grange Walk, wait for the traffic to clear and listen to the buzz. The Japanese pagoda trees (Styphnolobium japonica) are in flower and covered in honey bees. Resilient to climate change, it's a beautiful and much underrated street tree. #Bermondsey @thestreettree.bsky.social

If the heat is getting to you, make your way to Bermondsey's Southwark Park and take a seat under its famous London planes. Instant air-conditioning (and a lot cheaper and greener!) #thicktrunktuesday @lb-southwark.bsky.social @thestreettree.bsky.social

Now you see it, now you don't: a Hummingbird hawkmoth in the #OctopusGarden. Three years ago, this space was tarmacked over, but thanks to a #GrowBackGreener grant from @londonmayor.bsky.social and #CGS from @lb-southwark.bsky.social we #depaved and brought nature to this polluted street corner.
