Westerham

A crisp and sunny, clear Sunday morning. Driving from Nunhead to Westerham to pick up some scouts.

The Rye aswarm with joggers of all shapes and sizes. Past Camberwell Old Cemetery, the Babur tiger at Honor Oak, then Talents, then crossing the South Circular Road:
Perry Vale; strange building:
Bell Green; unusual street furniture:

Bromley shops:
And then past Keston ponds, Pratt's Bottom, Biggin Hill - and the scout huts are just before you reach Kent:












Such a huge change from South London suburbs to the woods and fields that surround the huts. Fantastic.

Keston Ponds, last weekend

Keston Ponds is near Westerham, in Bromley. The ponds are apparently the source of the river Ravensbourne - which flows through Downham and Lewisham to the Thames at Deptford Reach.

Beneath the trees in many parts the ground was a mass of bluebells. These pictures don't really do them justice:
