Great day out with 28th Croydon Scouts, planting sweet chestnut and hazel and clearing scrub with @AddiscombePark friends

@VanishedLondon Another excellent and well researched read, thank you

@saveEarlsCourt Never knew this even existed! Keen to seek out and visit whilst at Camley Street reserve next weekend. from #wildlondon

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

We urgently need a full and frank debate on the impact of how some politicians have whipped up hatred towards migrants and asylum seekers. Millions have felt insulted and threatened by this...

@IrishRainforest Would that be called an oak gall stone by any chance?

[drews @7YrsLeft]

@Grindrod And both books are excellent reads with a well researched and almost scholarly feel, I especially enjoyed contexts framed around #Croydon, keep writing John !

@CroydonSean @BenJLTaylor @CroydonLabour Sean, now that Murdoch backs your party and your party are happy for corporate scammers to keep control of our utilities, "keep left" is nostalgic

"Thames Water is worthless, says biggest investor."

And that my friends is how you get to nationalise @thameswater tomorrow morning without costing the tax payer a penny. It's easy. The £ value of a company that's worth nothing is nothing.

@copseworker Fantastic stuff, I enjoy your video shorts, so informative and inspiring

[drews @7YrsLeft]

@cat_frampton @WaterVole Nice, so is grazing with cattle to reduce bramble and scrub?

This Croydon cafe serves up 'pay-what-you-can' dishes - and the menu changes daily 😋 https://t.co/GevleCdsof

Open offer to any council in England or Wales: if you’ve got a car park or road you don’t need anymore, @ProtectEarthUK will rewild it.

This stuff normally costs ridiculous money. Our team love driving an excavator and we’ve got volunteers all over the country. Let’s do it.

@netherfield34 Upturn some plants pots and source some worms and you'll make a friend ready to greet and side eye you every day

@NatureLark Moira I have seen this in flower along the edge of Thrift wood, assumed it was the native variety but did not check

[drews @7YrsLeft]

@Grindrod Next time I catch you at one of your talks, I'd be happy to donate my spare copy of that poster (I used to go along to John Gent historical talks as a teenage geek)

[drews @7YrsLeft]

This evening - promises to be a lively presentation about the post war rebuilding/ remodelling/ destruction of Croydon post WW2

[John Grindrod @Grindrod]

Doing a talk in Croydon! Please come!

[drews @7YrsLeft]

@Grindrod As a bonus, here's a 1983 "Croydon Charter Centenary Exhibition" poster also still knocking about

[drews @7YrsLeft]

@Grindrod Zero cokes kept you lively on the mic, conjuring up historical, recent and imagined slides in our minds to your light hearted but insightful dialogue. As a reward I share this 1970s enameled 64 bus stop sign that once graced Croham Valley Road until an early 80s traffic accident

@17kingfishers @Grindrod @WildLondon Great pics as ever & what a gem of a site in the middle of what is now an overpaved somewhat sterile area. Have you paid a visit yet to @phnxgdn off Shaftesbury Avenue? Also arose in the 80s, supported by former GLC from a carpark by volunteers espec @TCVtweets as a natural haven
