Section 33 is mostly in the tennis courts with a small section on the outside. It is about one in the afternoon and quite muggy and hot but not particularly sunny. There were people, a father and son, playing tennis on the half of the courts with a net, luckily I was mainly looking at the court without a net. I must admit when I first saw them I thought shall I come back another time, but this project is about the people in the park so I just worked around them. This maybe more difficult on section 36 so we will see then. We didn’t meet anyone we know today and it was much quieter, with just a few people on benches and a few dog walkers. There weren’t too many people walking through, which considering it is lunch time surprised me. When I first went onto the tennis court I wanted to explain to the father why I was there taking photos so I started to speak to him, but he responded, without giving me a chance to explain, by saying that they didn’t live there and he couldn’t help me. I felt like I was in a foreign country thinking I was talking to a local as he almost shouted it at me like I spoke a different language. When I did explain he was ok, but it made me wonder what the initial panic was for. Possibly they should be isolating and escaped to somewhere they weren’t known as they shouldn’t have been out.
Really there wasn’t too much in my section today as the tennis court dominates and although not the smartest tennis court it generally quite litter free. It is mainly the bushes all round the cage of the courts that have a lot of insect life (even though I couldn’t actually see any today except a couple of ladybirds).
I saw: lots of different bushes, stinging nettles, 2 ladybirds, 2 tennis players, 2 tennis balls, 3 branches stuck in the caging, 9 pieces of litter, 1 feather, no cigarette ends, tennis court, grass, daisies, clover, small yellow flowers.
