The Bench
A different conversation about Richmond, every day.
The garden in Richmond at midsummer
The lavender is out in Richmond gardens and the bees are everywhere
The shady corner in Richmond gardens where lavender meets old walls
What survives a heatwave in Richmond gardens and what doesn't
The first tomatoes in Richmond gardens
Courgette glut in Richmond gardens: what to do with them all
The evening garden in Richmond after a warm day
Gardens in Richmond become summer headquarters for children
High summer gardens in Richmond demand everything you have
Deadheading roses in Richmond keeps the colour coming all summer
The path down to Petersham through summer meadows
When George Street had room to breathe
The table the weather nearly spoiled, and didn't
When the Thames meets the doorstep at the White Cross
The face behind the counter
The morning watering run
A July day that stays with you
The hum of a still summer garden
The sky that pulled me outside
The park that keeps you sane
When the music carries across the river
The thing you made that does a job nothing shop-bought would
The club benches fill again
The Saturday walk into town
The places we keep coming back to
The bench where you always end up
The steps at Richmond where summer always starts
The coffee that's worth the walk
The basket tells you when the season has turned
Long light, slow pace: summer evenings in the borough
