More on my visit to Crossbones Graveyard, an inconsecrated medieval burial ground in Southwark, mostly for paupers & sex workers. You can read about its history & why I love it so here instagram.com/p/B4Lg-J0HDxZ/…

Here, I am setting off. I found Fox-and-Cubs on my way. A goid sign. Me on the trainFox-and-Cubs, or Orange HawkweedLooking out at the River Medway
Going to Crossbones means passing close to Borough Market, which was particularly vibrant on the edge of Hallowmas. I love the buzz of Borough Market but it is a bit overwhelming at times. Often I just look at the lovely veg & then run away!

Here's the entrance to Redcross Way, where the gates of the Crossbones shrine is found. I love this new swan mural under the railway bridge!

This is London's 'other side'. Southwark Cathedral was once called St Mary Overie, or St Mary Over 'Ere ~ 'over the river' if you're posh. Swan muralBillboard ~ London's other sideLove not hateThe Redcross Way railway bridge

I must admit to feeling rather dispirited at present, & so this morning I was blessed to be greeted by Solid Dennis, who stayed with us last night. Being dispirited, I have stopped going out for walks but today I HAD to go. I was grumpy but look what I found...

First I came across this strip of ground, which used to be wild with green but has been treated with chemicals, & opposite MORE house building! There used to be 100 yr old trees there, fox dens, an ancient crow community. It matters to find #smallbeauties amongst all this...
I walked on & thank goodness for the wilding apple tree, the only one to survive the recent fellings. I am still amazed to see her still there. I used to stand under her branches. Now she has a fence round her but today I held a tendril of her companion ivy & felt connection... wilding apple treeholding ivy

What a lovely few days I have spent in quiet companionship with my old & dear friend who lives in the Hampshire chalk hills. I love the softly tidal nature of chalk landscapes, the gentle familiarity of old friendship. Soft on my heart.

Within 10 minutes of arriving I had my feet up and my slippers on & was eating a mince pie, I was brought breakfast in bed in the morning, tucked up with a hot water bottle at night, & my bedroom overlooked a veg patch. We all need these times. #smallbeauties mince pietoast and teahot water bottleveg patch view
Yesterday, we went for a gentle autumn ramble. I wore my favourite pink jumper. Snug! We found snowberries sparkling with raindrops, signs of hedgehog love, which I hope indicates the presence of hedgehogs, and four friendly and unfeasibly soft English Setters...
