Some People Are So Nice

In Fog Lane Park a magnificent display of wildflowers has appeared in the abandoned rose beds.

A laminated sign accompanies them saying the flowers are part of the mix used in the Olympic Village last year.

The sign also says they were planted by Dave and Liz with weeding help from Elizabeth, Alex and Tiger.

And that is all the information - no surnames, no website, no ideology. I assume they are local people who thought it would be a nice thing to do.

How fantastic, and what a contrast to the nut planting done last year by a local community group (as grumbled about in this post). There is no nonsense about sustainability and carbon footprints. Here is a genuinely heartfelt gesture by people who simply want to make their local park look good. Now that's real community spirit.

Thank you Dave and Liz, Elizabeth, Alex and Tiger.
