Like this path life is wiggly and spontaneous, being rigid in life would only lead me to a boring, narrow path. #hampsteadheathlondon #londonparksandgardens #pathways #seizetheheath #visithampstead #heathandhampsteadsociety #naturelovers #naturesbeauty #wildflowersofinstagram #lockdownlondon #hampstead #myhampsteadheath #hampsteadlife #naturelife

lots of walks over the weekend and a picnic. I love picnics at this time of year, hot soup & rolls plus a flask of tea and chocolate. If it’s cold enough I’ll take a hot water bottle too.
.
I’ll miss Autumn when she’s gone🍁x...

Kenwood House, the north London gem beside Hampstead Heath, seen from behind its Sham Bridge today..
.
The Grade II listed fake bridge has divided opinions at Kenwood for more than 200 years. As long ago as 1793, the landscape gardener Humphrey Repton derided it as “below the dignity of Kenwood”, just a decade or so after it had been erected by Robert and James Adam for the second Earl Mansfield..
.
Repton proposed replacing the facade with an actual bridge. Luckily for those of us who enjoy such quirks, this was one of Repton's plans that the Mansfields did not accept..

To mark the 150th anniversary of the Hampstead Heath Act, charity Heath Hands ran a competition asking folks to send videos as a tribute to their love for the heath. I was invited to send one, and I definitely did! I was one of the runners-up, and received a prize. I feel delighted and honoured to share my deep affection for Hampstead Heath as a migrant. Thank you, heath_hands for your brilliant work and spreading the importance of conservation. We are truly lucky to have this woodland in the middle of London.❤️🌿🪲
It’s uphill all the way to the house on the hill. #hampstead #hampsteadheath #londonparks #naturephotograpy #nature #nw3 #prettylittlelondon #seizetheheath #myhampsteadheath
“And in the haze you see colours
And problems suddenly make sense
But the way you've been going
You'll be in an early grave
And you don't know
What you've got until it's gone
And you don't know
Who to love until you're lost
And you don't know
How to feel until the moment's passed
I wish you'd live
Like you're made of glass.”

The Constable Pine is probably my most treasured tree at Hampstead Heath. It truly reminds me of my favourite Japanese phrase — ‘mono no aware’. A melancholic appreciation of the transiency of existence. It will be a woeful day when it finally collapses. I’m fortunate enough to be able to visit it regularly. Thank you, tree surgeons, for helping it live yet another day. Even through storms and high winds, a dead tree is able to keep it alive. I find it incredibly heroic and poetic at the same time.
“This tree was one in a group of trees painted by John Constable (a famous landscape painter from the 18th and 19th Centuries). Today it is the only one in this group that remains standing. It is the oldest pine tree on Hampstead Heath and of significant ecological and cultural value. A guy rope attached to a neighbouring beech tree helps to keep this tree upright. This was installed due to fears that the pine may fall over. Since this guy rope was installed, the beech tree has died. As the beech tree begins to decay it is likely that it will fall and the pine with it, resulting in the loss of this irreplaceable tree. We are currently looking at alternative ways to keep Constable’s pine standing.”
- Ancient Tree Forum
“There was once a mansion on this site, built by Charles Dingley in the 1760s. It was here that William Pitt the Elder, who was the British leader during the Seven Years War and Prime Minister from 1766-68, lived during a serious illness and nervous breakdown in 1767. It appears in a news article in 1908 titled The House In Which Great Britain Lost America. The house had been known through its history as North End House, Wildwoods, and then Pitt House, but it was demolished in 1952. All that remains now is a large garden, and a single wall and archway.”

Between the deluges in Hampstead today. #hampsteadheath #myhampsteadheath #beautifulhampsteadheath #hampsteadvillage #beautifulhampstead
Atop of the highest natural point in London, with a magnificent view of the city skyline.
Today was exhausting yet exhilarating at the same time. I had heard about the elusive yet admired rescued fox a few months ago from my students. With the result of serendipity, I bumped into Ana the vet and her furry companions on Tuesday afternoon, including her dog on wheels and its very own guide dog. I decided to contact her in the hopes of introducing her and her rescued animals to my other students and teachers. Mission accomplished! My heart is full. I have never seen a fox this close before, let alone be able to have one in my arms. Pumpkin is so gentle and special. It’s not every day you get to meet a fox like this. Thank you, Ana. You remind me so much of myself back in Singapore when I rescued birds and my late stray cat. Such a sweet family you have. ❤️🌿
Baby it’s cold outside!

There's many hazards climbing trees in London. Being dive bombed by a tropical bird wasn't on our daily risk assessment though.

The Dairy at Kenwood House, by Hampstead Heath in north London, which was built by George Saunders, the 2nd Earl Mansfield's architect from 1794-6, for the Earl's wife, Louisa..
.
Tending a dairy was a fashionable hobby for aristocratic women. But such dairies were still functional, and the one at Kenwood would have supplied the house with butter, milk and cream, while ice was stored in the ice-house below..
.
There are three small dairy buildings, with views over the Kenwood Estate and Hampstead Heath, comprising: the small, colourfully decorated octagonal tea room, where Louisa entertained her friends, the rooms where the dairymaid lived, and the dairy room. The original marble benches in the dairy room are still here, although the more than 30 black marble milk pans and basins listed in the accounts are missing..

I would love a bench dedicated in memory of me — a way for the children I’ve taught to remember the fun times we’ve shared with the other teachers in the woods and meadows. Sometimes I wonder if the children I’ve taught ten years ago in Singapore would still remember me, because I cannot remember the faces of my own preschool teachers. I remember one name, though. Zaitun. It means ‘Olive’, in Malay — my mother tongue. I remember dancing with other children in a little room, with handkerchiefs in our hands. I remember playing basic PC games with files transferred by floppy disks. I remember my mom telling me I peed myself after crying and screaming on my first day of preschool. It’s funny how we can’t really pick and choose what we remember from our childhoods. The mind is a peculiar thing. #blackandwhitephotography #myhampsteadheath
