In 1991 there was a cladding fire in #Liverpool and this provided the necessity to make regulatory reforms, but the then Tory government did not act.
On 3 July 2009 a fire in Lakanal House, a tower block in #Camberwell, London, killed Six people and injured at least 20. Yet government embarked upon a deregulation drive presented as a “bonfire of red tape” which saw crucial safety matters “ignored, delayed or disregarded”.

The love that dare not speak its name!

A plaque commemorates two men who "lived in a course of uninterrupted friendship for 60 years..." on the north wall of the sanctuary in St Stephen's Church, Canterbury.

The two Williams met when they were aged 16 and 20.

Meet a beautiful-blooming #CamelliaSasanqua!!

It’s most common name is sasanqua #camellia and this species of Camellia is native to China and Japan.

Most species of camellias require a large amount of water, so with the steady rainfall of late (and relative mild summer) it’s no wonder these are blooming in abundance.

Did you know? 🤔

There are over 250 known species to the genus Camellia 🤯

The trusty ID app tells me this is a #CotinusCoggygria, the European smoketree, Eurasian smoketree, smoke tree, smoke bush, Venetian sumach, or dyer's sumach… so many names!!

It’s from the family Anacardiaceae.

This unique tree is native to a large area from southern Europe, east across central Asia and the Himalayas to northern China.

And yes, those hair-like structures are giving, but somehow coarse and sturdy at the same time. Haha. That’s the only way I can explain it.

Perhaps what I think, a tumble weed would feel like 🤷🏻‍♂️🤔

Anyways, the diversity of flora in our world is just astounding, don’t you think?

#skyblueclustervine have been flowering profusely and for some weeks may I add, in Melbs the past couple of months.

They’re so resilient and generous in their display period, that it seems they’re everywhere around the suburban streets here.. like… all the time!!

I really like that they’re a simple flower, subtle in colour and size - and the greenery that accompanies them sets the purples (in this case) off just perfectly.

Also, had a little multi-legged critter tagging along for a photo bomb! 📸

Such is #Melbourne’s weather, ‘four seasons in one day, raining, drizzly in the morning, blue skies, sun and glorious this arvo.

The sight of this #crepemyrtle warranted a stop off and snapping.
It’s just gorgeous.

This is in its flowering prime and was surrounded by about 8 others of the same size and colour, at a care facility in #Camberwell #Australia.

Bursting with goodness and colour - OMG!!

#heaven!

Podranea ricasoliana, called the #pinktrumpetvine, is a flowering plant in the genus Podranea, native to South Africa, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia.

I love the subtle whites and pinks, as well as the visible vein-like appearance in the centre of its ‘trumpet’ section, within its flowering head.

Its leaves are so healthy and vibrant too.

Delicate. Pretty.
