“I like beer and I live in Wimbledon: what am I going to do? I’ll open a brewery” Mark Gordon, founder of Wimbledon Brewery and his staff talk about their passion for brewing and how Covid has made them focus on ‘local’. Must try their Brewery Tap one day https://t.co/AOqRbuRBl0

A sunny lunchtime browsing (and eating!) at the little weekend market at Wimbledon Rugby Club (off Barham Road). Veg, bread, cakes etc. Recommend the cheddar and spinach crepes 👍🏼

COVID cases in Merton up on this time last week according to symptom tracker study at King’s College London

[Wimbledon and Putney Commons @WimPutCommons]

@MertonEye It has been a couple of years since we had Skylarks but it is not only for them but to encourage other ground nesting birds too, such as Meadow Pipits, as well as to provide food for over wintering species.

Just over a week to go to do the @MordenHallPkNT Tree Trail in Morden Hall Park. And there are some lovely trees to see...

[Merton Eye @MertonEye]

@SarahKHolford I’d heard that too but no word lately Maybe @CentreCourtShop could fill us in on whether it’s for sale and what’s happening with Debenhams

[Merton Eye @MertonEye]

Centre Court very quiet these days - but looks like the Debenhams site is going to be a children’s play centre

[Merton Eye @MertonEye]

Feel like this noticeboard at Morden Hall Park says it all #covidblues

[Merton Eye @MertonEye]

Just wondering: when was the last sighting of a lark? The plain area @WimbledonCommon is closed off every spring to encourage them to nest on the ground - but not heard that anybody’s seen one for a while

[Merton Eye @MertonEye]

Only just spotted this list of bird sightings on @WimbledonCommon this summer. Would love to see a kingfisher and a common buzzard

If you fancy a game of tennis on grass head down to the @Wimbledon Community Sports Ground in Grand Drive. There are hard courts and indoor courts too - and it’s only £4 to join https://t.co/IEUEtCBb1H

Merton tree wardens are asking residents to water any young trees in the street near their home to help them survive during the drought. A bucket of water poured down the black pipe next to a young tree and around the trunk once a week should do it. Washing-up water will do

[Merton Eye @MertonEye]

@A_Dalivalle I believe @Merton_Council has the rubble

[Merton Eye @MertonEye]

Wimbledon’s statue of Haile Selassie is no more. It was destroyed yesterday by protestors and the rubble has been taken away. Need to read up on what the issue was here but it seems a shame

[Merton Eye @MertonEye]

@richardpowley @lizzie34198 @CannizaroPark Here’s the Evening Standard’s report on what happened https://t.co/UsL58aHAMD

Help @deencityfarm survive with an online donation. It’s preparing to reopen to the public next week but the lack of income during lockdown has hit it hard. It would be tragic to lose this great resource on our doorstep https://t.co/ev2D6JceNS
