Trolleys 894 and 895

No.894, a medium small trolley from the M&S food hall was captured at the top of the passage which goes under Hudson House.

While No.895 was two small trolleys from Sainsbury's - they don't seem to do the very small one one sometimes gets from M&S - were captured by the rail at the creationists. It was a warm afternoon, and I thought about just pushing one of them up to Kiln Lane but that seemed a bit mean. Taking one was not going to save the caretaker a job, so I settled for the two. Not too bad as it turned out.

Passing this bit of screening on the way, screening which has been in this condition for what seems like years. Nicely symbolic of the maintenance state of the rest of the Thames Water estate?

Another go at the creeper noticed a few trolleys ago at reference 2.

First up, lots more not very convincing Reddit. But on the hint 'no visible flowers or buds, shady spot in Epsom, UK, climbing off something hanging down from a tree. Convolvulus?', Google Images more or less agrees with me, and convolvulus does seem more likely than a celastrus. He does not think that the absence of flowers is a killer, all the convolvulus flowers round about notwithstanding.

Plus, I now know that the Convolvulaceae are a big family of more than 1,500 species, including the sweet potato and what I call convolvulus, otherwise morning glory (aka Belle de Jour), otherwise bindweed. While what I have always called bindweed has lots of common names, but not this one. Maybe I will go with goosegrass. Sticky stuff which seems to get everywhere - although I don't recall seeing the small white flowers. Must look out for them. See reference 4.

The whitebeam.

What I am pretty sure is convolvulus, complete with flower buds and red stems in among the brambles. Maybe there are different varieties, or habit varies with context?

And above, a sea of blackberries to come. 

What we need now is some proper rain to plump them up a bit. I seem to remember lack of rain at the right time being a problem with the blackberry crop last year.
