I have been picking a few blackberries from my neighbour's overgrown garden to eat with my breakfast cereal for nearly a week. Today on my bike ride I went up between Leyton Marshes and the riding stable to pick a soya desert tub full of blackberries. Saw several other people also picking. I made blackberry crumble - yum!
There was also some horse droppings, so I passed them, picked the blackberries and came back to scoop up the horse droppings for my compost heap.
I then turned and cycled off towards the cattle creep at the end of Coppermill Lane, passing some Prudential riders coming the other way*. Then under the cattle creep, around to the Navigation and back home.
On the way back from shopping got several bits of offcuts from a skip - when sawn up there will be about 2 hours burning.
*My friend in Plumstead is having problems as they have shut the river bridges to traffic because of the Prudential cycling event. She has had to hurriedly get her bike fixed so she can cycle all the way from Plumstead to Clapton for kayaking tomorrow (she now works for the club and is in charge so needs to be there). This is not going to encourage support for cyclists from motorists!
