New thoroughfare surface

New thoroughfare surface

I've been on holiday in Sicily for a couple of weeks. It feels like a lot has happened in London in that time, though as far as I can tell the only development in the Quaker Gardens is a new beige surface for the thoroughfare.

We also seem to have a new security guard. This is his dog van, and you can just see the head of his alsation to the right of the van.

The grass on the turf seems to be growing nicely, but elsewhere some of the plants are looking a bit parched — apparently it's been hot here — and some rearguard watering was being done even this morning.
