The old year decides to give us a stunning late sunset over the Broomfield lakes #PalmersGreen #Enfield #AwesomeNature
The burnt-out remains of an old mansion, covered in scaffolding and reflected in a lake.
A Stevie Smith poem ("The pleasures of friendship are infinite") etched onto a metal plaque with a shopping parade behind.
A sign saying "Masons Corner" on wet street corner with late-evening luminous clouds behind.

A triumphant cob has told a visitng pair it's time for them to move on He returns to his family with a swagger. And gets a loving thank you from his grateful pen. #swans #birds #PalmersGreen
Screenshot of report of sewage discharge point on 19 July
Thames Water discharged untreated sewage into the Pymmes Brook for 1hr 44 mins yesterday. A disgrace to treat our natural world in this way. #PalmersGreen @friendsofpymmes.bsky.social #Thames21 #ThamesWater #WaterRegulation #sewage #CleanWaterNow
There's nothing like a refreshing bath and wing stretch on a hot day if you're a swan. #swans #birds #Broomfield #PalmersGreen #heatwave

Little Vee has a very close relationship with Caesar. Dad took over parenting duties as Julia is still nesting on an egg that is too old to hatch. Love comes through in difficult times. #Swans #Birds #BirdFamilies #PalmersGreen
Has it stopped raining yet? Too wet for food. Back under mum's comfortable umbrella. #SwanSaturday #birds #cygnets #PalmersGreen
Julia, Caesar and little Vee at home on their nest #birds #swans #PalmersGreen
Coots are caring parents. This mother turns some of her many eggs. It won't be long until the cootlets hatch #birds #nesting #coots #PalmersGreen
The architecture, the welcoming decor, reasonably priced beer and the friendly service made for an enjoyable all round experience. Great to see this much loved Edwardian pub back from the dead. #palmersgreen #pint #northlondon
The Chestnut Tree. A few local lads are mulling over last nights shenanigans.

A real bargain, on the Too Good to Go app, at a posh delicatessen and bakery in the upper middle class suburbs of north #London this afternoon. Happy days. #PalmersGreen, never been here before, what a place.
When the parents want you to go and they're #swans they let you know. Standing by for some rescues when the kids leave the lake. #birds #PalmersGreen
The cygnets, chased out of their cosy small lake by their parents are enjoying practising their flying for the first time. Julia and Caesar enjoying fluffing up their wings and making heart shapes with their necks. #swans #birds #PalmersGreen
Four cygnets drifting in a lake at sunset
Two adult swans delving in the wster surrounded by geese and ducks.
A beautiful blue sky cold winter day. The joys of an afternoon in the park, feeding & communicating with the birds & fishing out litter. The reward is not only wellbeing but lovely views across the lakes as the sun sinks below the horizon #PalmersGreen #Broomfield #Swans #Birds
If you go out to feed the birds, (which they need in this cold weather) avoid red warning times and avoid standing under trees. 2 huge branches fell off in our local park this evening. Park trees need checking regularly. #PalmersGreen #Enfield #Safety
Two swans up close with their heads raised. Julia the pen, has partly raised wings
Julia and Caesar arrive for a chat as well as lunch #swans #birds #PalmersGreen #NatureConnection

As the storm approaches, it's time to make sure Julia, Caesar and the other birds are fed #swans #PalmersGreen #Enfield #Broomfield #birds #FeedtheBirds
