Blossoms in Forest Hill, Dearie! + a long view of the London Marathon

Stunning cherry tree opposite Eliot Bank Primary School

equally wonderful with its autumn colours

Other blooms and plants:

 Barkin' birch

A long view of yesterday's London Marathon – the closest I got to the actual race:

Red balloons at the start on Blackheath can 

just be glimpsed through the gloom above the tree on the left

2014 April blossom in Forest Hill

The April blossom in London has been magnificant this year, especially the cherry.
