Lovely sunny (but chilly) morning for bulb planting with some very excited and keen mini gardeners.
The kids had great fun planting lots of bulbs which will add lots of colour to the Palace Road rain gardens next spring. Thanks to Abacus nursery and Father Nature for letting us join in! 🌷🌼🪻🐝🐝🐞🌳

Alongside the poppy, I’m wearing a Marigold today to recognise the bravery & sacrifice of the Indian subcontinent in the World Wars.
Over 1.3 million Indian servicemen fought across Europe, Middle East, & East Africa with over 70,000 fatalities in WW1 alone.

Busy morning painting over unsightly graffiti on Russell’s footpath in Streatham. Great to be joined by Steve Reed MP who picked up a brush and started painting with us.
Very proud of the repainted pigeon even though I had to resort to finger painting due to a lack of fine tip brushes!

Lambeth Council partnered with Big Local North Brixton & Impact on Urban Health to explore heat risk, identifying the most heat-vulnerable areas & with hyper local partners engaging residents directly. This is what climate action looks like: local, collaborative, & full of heart.

So pleased that I managed to attend the Nisa-Nashim Annual Conference today with the amazing @saraconway.bsky.social
It was an inspiring afternoon full of hope as we listened to Jewish and Muslim women on how we can work together in facing the challenges in an increasingly polarised world.

Last month I lost 2 cats (one to old age & another to cancer). They were family for over 15 years. I was bereft and heartbroken. But last week I found an abandoned kitten and today I learned about the cat distribution theory. Meet Duster. A new member of the family!

I even got to sit in the drivers car of a steam locomotive!

Another successful car free day in Lambeth this time Atlantic Road reimagined!
Thanks to Lambeth’s Healthy Neighbourhoods and Big Shift teams we were allowed to imagine what these spaces could be like without cars.
Thanks also to Just Vibez & the Brixton BID who put on this fab family event.

We closed Abbeville Road in Clapham to cars for a few hours today and something truly radical and transformative happened.
We saw a community grow.
People came out to chat, laugh, listen, gossip, eat, drink and share.
Just proves that streets are for people not just for cars.
