It was good to see the flowers at Bromley-by-Bow station today as I came back.
We need more of these in the Underground stations on the surface.

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.
But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.
And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.
Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.

Back in the days of the LPTB, there was fierce competition among London Underground stations for “Garden of the Year” (or Line, or District) etc. Some of them were quite pleasant, causing many a commuter to miss his train!! It has been revived somewhat, but nothing like it used to be.

I like gardens but hate gardening. On the other hand there are those who will garden everything they can find. Regularly I find enthusiastic amateurs weeding the verges and creating little gardens round here. It would not be a bad idea to allow volunteers to flower-up our stations. After all, East Anglia has been doing it for years. Visitors and locals like it.
The other thing is that gardens in stations are in a secure environment and would be unlikely to be damaged.
