The smell of soil in the heart... of London, lots of busy hands attracted much attention as we cleared a rubbish heap, planted ivy & daisies and sprinkled Eschscholzia seeds. I wonder how the nombs will get on!

Spilling


I joined a community group to test a new method of protecting the banks of the river Thames from harsh tides that cause erosion. We worked on a part of the Thames
As a team of around 30 volunteers and split into three flexible groups; one chopped willow and other specimens of twigs and branches from the surrounding vegetation, one group organised the wood into weaveable bundles and spills (large branches to be steaked into the ground)And the other group hammered the spills into the ground around trees and along the banks, once this as done we wove the bundles around the spills:





Hopefully the tide will come in and out filtering through the new lattice willow fence leaving the sediment on the banks where it is.
I am sure that this process will need to be repeated to maintain its effect regularly, It is a site I will revisit in a few months

The Whitechapel is a wonderful art gallery, it is intimate, inviting and unimposing. And being located so close to Bricklane with its bustling market and Spitalfields close it makes the perfect addition to a great day out in the central.
