I donโt believe so, as they havenโt taken them from all the treesโฆ yet.

Weโve been doing a bit of community under-tree planting โ trying to brighten up the street with some greenery.๐๐ป๐บ
But a few weeks inโฆ & someone has dug up all but one of the plants.
WHO DOES THAT?! ๐คฏ
Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips for deterring plant thieves before I replant?
Itโs brilliant to see so many wheels stored in the scooter park during #WalkToSchool week.

Thereโs been a lot in the press about #LTNs recently, but as a regular user, I can honestly say theyโre revolutionary โ esp for families like mine who donโt own a car & rely on bikes, walking & public transport to get about.
Safer streets have made choosing car-free alternatives so much easier.

If more people cycled, thereโd be fewer cars, more space on the roads & safer streets for everyone. #CycleMore #SafeStreets

Spent some of the weekend baking! ๐งโ๐ณ
Tried some lower-sugar recipes for muffins and banana breadโthey still taste great!
Iโve also sliced up the cake & chocolate bars & stashed them in the freezer, along with the muffins. That way, theyโll stay fresh and be ready to enjoy over the next few weeks. ๐
Itโs is :) And how lucky were you with the weather! ๐ฆ๏ธ

Using a bike to get from A-B is highly efficient & effective.
If you donโt already, Iโd highly recommend giving it a go. Today:

๐ฒ 14k from work to school: 45mins
๐ฒ 4k from school to football: 15mins
๐ฒ 3k from football to home: 12mins

Great to see so many people out enjoying the new underpass and making the most of the route to the marshes.
I take out temp insurance when I borrow, which is on top of the cover the owner has in place. I usually go via Veygo or RAC.

20.02.2025 12:09 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I live on a street where car sharing is becoming the norm.
3 families own cars, & 3 donโtโthe ones without borrow from the ones who do.
We:
๐ฃ๏ธ Ask in advance
๐ช Chip in for wear and tear
โฝ๏ธ Replace the petrol we use
Itโs greatโfewer cars on the street & more active travel.
Anyone else do this?
On average 30% of morning traffic in London is school-run traffic
Roads quieter in London this morning? Fewer cars on the road, can't put your finger on why?
Well I am happy to help
What if we shared cars instead of owning them? Fewer cars, fewer emissions & <demand for new vehicles.
Thatโs what weโre doing this w/end.
Most cars sit parked 95% of the time. Neighbour car sharing means borrowing a car when you need it:
๐ฐcutting costs
๐จreducing emissions
