3. I've played football on these fields many times, but I don't ever remember them looking like this. I used to love the cold wind whipping off the Welsh Harp whilst putting a crunching reducer tackle. Those were the days

5. Another great wildlife shot from Samuel Levy. It's amazing what is on our doorstep

Day 25:

An evening walk to Totteridge this evening with Woodcock and Snipe seen in the farmlands along with plenty of Little Owls. The highlight was perhaps this Nuthatch feeding in and amongst the Ivy just above the footpath. #londonbirds pic.twitter.com/YiVdiedk9b

We’re using surplus food to fight waste. It’s pay what you wish and bring your own container if you can! Let’s stay connected (and socially distant) throughout this lockdown. ❤️☔️🌿 pic.twitter.com/ex2BRwoXfR

8. A sad moment for all of us football fans. Not Barnet but close enough by to warrant inclusion

Wembley Stadiums iconic towers under construction in 1923, and being deconstructed 80 years later.

10. Who didn't want one of these when they were a nipper?

Back when I was five, I asked Santa for a real digger for Xmas. I knew the post was slow to the North Pole at the moment, but not this slow. Santa seems to have forgotten to drop off the keys! pic.twitter.com/lqWR3VHRL8
