Turkish Charcoal Grill

Great Fish & Chips has been on Ham Parade for a little over ten years and has changed appearance a few times. In the latest change, the sign says that they are adding Turkish Charcoal Grill to their menu and the colour scheme has gone from dark blue to turquoise.

Replaced bollard

I am quite amused by the ongoing battle between Richmond Council and bad motorists over the entrance to the small area of parking on the approach to Great South Avenue. In the latest episode the middle of the three concrete posts has been replaced by the Council after some spectacularly bad driving demolished it.

Tall planter

The Fox and Duck used to have several low planters across the front and these have been replaced by a single tall one. While these lift the planting almost out of sight for anyone sitting there they also provide an effective screen against the busy road and any awkward wind.

Autumn colours

Not my first picture of Langham House in its autumn colours and it probably will not be the last either.

Abundance of flowers

Randle Road is a short dead-end road so most people do not have an excuse to walk down it which is a shame because that is where this lovely garden is.

FH18 UJO

GK16 BNJ

This is the second time that this car has been caught parked badly on Ham Parade; here's the first.

New garage

I have been following the rebuilding of a garage at The Navigator's House in River Lane all summer and had I not been doing so it would have been easy to overlook the new building as being new.

Ham House gate topper

The gate at the back of Ham House is appropriately grand and the gate topper is the grandest part.
