Newsshopper appears to have lost its way in the dark. Can't see the Syd for the Beck?

Enchanting 'bat trail' launches in Mayow Park in Beckenham

Inspired by the thriving bat population within Mayow Park, Elena Howard embarked on a remarkable journey to craft a one-of-a-kind art trail that would resonate deeply with the local south east London community.

It's the Cator Park ecocide. More #Penge than #Beckenham unless you are a estate agent or Lower #Sydenham (south) if you curate this account.

Follow #catorpark or #ecocide if you need a recap of the story.

Decided to skip the #Kent One Day Cup game at #Beckenham tomorrow in favour of N's first trip to AFC Croydon Athletic for their #FACup game against Sutton Athletic. #football #MastodonFC #NonLeague #SouthEastLondon #NicheFootball ⚽️

Kent #Cricket League website is in chaos this morning. I'm hoping it means all games are abandoned, and they're not insisting on players hauling their sorry arses from Whitstable to #Beckenham in a thunderstorm. 🏏

The weather forecast is not hopeful for #cricket on Saturday, so I've put our next game as the start of this year's #FACup. #Beckenham CC has a game if the rain doesn't turn up. We'll decide on the day. #football #MastodonFC ⚽️🏏

Heading to West Wickham for Primo Caffé and #CharityShops with N. Stopped off in #Beckenham to get Hendrix and Dittersdorf from Wanted Music. Picked up the third Velvet Underground LP for £2 as a gamble as I'm still looking for the other mix and I can't bloody remember which is which without listening. #CDs 💿

Change of #cricket plan for next Saturday. Forsaking the #Kent League Championship in order to go to the #Beckenham County Ground to watch a 50 overs professional women's game. South East Stars v Western Storm, Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. 🏏

Decided to skip all sport today rather than fight against the wind, which is already perking up in #SouthEastLondon. Won't get to the Tuesday night Cray Valley PM v Cray Wanderers #football game either. Next game is therefore a week today at #Beckenham #Cricket Club. ⚽️🏏

Wind is still not conducive to watching #cricket in #Beckenham, which is quite exposed as a ground. We may well be having a day indoors tomorrow.

Two heavy bags on me, so I'm being lazy and getting the bus to the #cricket. 50 overs, professional women's game at County Ground #Beckenham. Free entry, and the weather is already warmer than the Met Office thinks, so bring a picnic! 🏏 #SouthEastLondon

Seeing I'm missing the #gym tomorrow, I might walk to County Ground #Beckenham in the morning. Should take 25-30 minutes at brisk pace. Taking my pass though, for if the novelty has worn off for the walk back. #Cricket 🏏

A modest fry-up before the #Kent #Cricket League match at #Beckenham. Hoping to nab some of the afternoon tea leftovers around 4pm like last time. Excellent drumsticks. 😏🍗🍗😋🏏

Oh, and N and I did consider going to Canterbury for #Kent v Surrey, but she has to work tomorrow, and frankly we're still pissed off it's not at #Beckenham. #Cricket 🏏

The next three weeks of #Kent #Cricket League Championship fixtures sees a round robin of #SouthEastLondon derby matches between Bickley Park, #Bromley, and #Beckenham. First up is the first two. Looking forward to a pint on the Bickley Park rooftop enclosure next Saturday if the weather is hot. These pictures were taken from there last summer. 🏏

Long day. #Cricket was hugely enjoyable, fielding in particular that you wouldn't expect at that level. Then, meal at a favourite #Beckenham Italian, and home for a #sumo catch-up. N has gone to bed and left me in a late 80s streaming jungle. Bit of MBV Feed Me With Your Kiss right now.
