My Climate Change Garden

The weather was glorious today and  London looked at its best with blossom on the trees and bright blue sky. With everyone so busy, rushing from place to place , I sometimes feel that the beauty of the trees and flowers dotted around are missed by people passing by.

I spent my lunch break just wondering around, soaking up the rays and discovering the delights of spring amongst the crowds of office staff and students enjoying the weather in Russell Square and a popular place for families – Corams Fields .

Weather forecast predicts another five days of this glorious weather – long may it continue – maybe the figs outside UCL might even ripen? Amazing that they survived the cold weather and snow over the winter – shows how the buildings in London act as a giant thermal insulator with all the heat they generate – time to put this to better use http://www.buildinggreen.com/auth/article.cfm/2009/1/29/Growing-Food-Locally-Integrating-Agriculture-Into-the-Built-Environment/
