Love this, the old homes, the tree and the classic steel bike. How old are those homes? Wish i was walking down that street right now.

We do things differently up here in Canada :)

A street scene that reminds me of the "Mary Poppins" neighborhood.

South London suburbs, I don't know exactly the date but guess its late 1800's to early 1900's, It's in Streatham, very near an old haunt of English author Samuel Johnson, commonly known as Dr Johnson. (there is a Dr Johnson Drive nearby) Famous for, amongst other things, compiling a dictionary of the English language, which he started in 1746 and it took him 8 years (he initially thought he'd do it in 3).

The old house he lived in is no longer there, but until very recently there was an old mulberry tree known as Dr Johnson's mulberry which was reportedly there in Johnson's time that he used to gaze out on. Sadly this great old mulberry was itself a victim of storms and was fatally damaged and had to be felled in 2017.

And while I'm on trees, here's another, this one is protected. There are older and larger more impressive plane trees in London, but this is protected as it features in an old William Wordsworth poem, 'the reverie of poor Susan'. Apparently there is a clause in the lease of the small building behind the tree, saying they are not allowed to extend the building any higher than it is, to protect the tree.

Nobody knows exactly how old the tree is, but Wordsworth wrote the poem in 1797 so it was definitely here then. its not in leaf yet but will be very soon, its located on the junction of Cheapside and Wood Street, and poem can be read here: https://www.london-walking-tours.co....plane-tree.htm

And in the absence of a guerrilla knitting or yarn bombing thread, I think this place is as good as place as any to post these. While cycling around the suburbs of Dulwich this week I've come across a number of these knitted post box covers that someone has taken the time to do. I was a bit late but one if obviously to commemorate St Patrick's Day. Brought a smile to my face anyway.

I think I found a picture of my first bike. You won’t find a tire valve because the tires were solid……the roughest riding bike I’ve ridden but it was a start. Our neighborhood gang riding on Christmas Day 1957.

defended through this huge cemetery. very fact crypts right next to the road how can you have a restful eternal sleep?

Ouch! Plus a side street just before the top! It’s not long but it would hurt.

my itty bitty granddaughter can sure ride her trek bike. had to get the trek because the cheaper ones are too hard to peddle.

even on my trek with a mid drive bosch motor me putting out over 450 watts can just make it up. I should have tried it when I had the 11-42 cassette on it instead if the 11-32. at least here in Oregon you can go through the stop sign without stopping if its safe.

lol ... Yea, I took it. Thanks!

My SO contracted COVID a couple of weeks ago, and I skedaddled to the vacation home to avoid catching it myself. I took that one (believe it or not, with my cellphone) after hiking around the lake. Beautiful spot!

Spring is here!
