THERE'S BEEN some cutting back along the towpath and the Lavatera, a garden escape, which kept threatening to block the path has been, not just cut back, but uprooted. Nature abhors a vacuum and on the bare earth Germander Speedwell has rapidly established itself and is now in bright azure-blue flower, as blue as today's sky.

Other weeds in flower by the towpath and in the rich soil on the south-facing bank by the man-hole cover where the sewer occasionally overflows, are;


Red Deadnettle,	Chickweed	and Knotgrass.
