This post brings forward the topic of a more substantial other post regarding the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park that I'm preparing. But what I run into on Friday couldn't wait.
The transformation of the Olympic Park in to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which mostly is of the same nature of the transformation of its name, involved the construction and develop of new areas and venues among other which were not changed at all. This happened for the new bicycle track around the Velodrome. The track is penned with a metal mesh 1 meter hight laid for last, running along some untouched areas.
On Friday was asked me to transplant some shrubs of a pre-existing bed: the fencing in mesh was supposed to be laid aside the edge of the bed, but for no apparent reason the builders had gone through the bed itself. Just this is weird. The easier way to work is in an open space and not among shrubs. This would be in its own a good reason to avoid doing it. And when you are forced to do it, you are aware that you must make as less damage to the plants as possible. I didn't find the post-war scenario which builders accustomed me to, and to be honest I have to say that they did a really neat work, digging holes and pouring cement to place the enclosure's posts, without damaging the plants. Than, what they did after is even stranger. Or probably, they just run out of patience.
First I found a plant with a branch bound to the mesh with metal wire, whose coils run all around the branch itself without having damaged it. Then I found this:
I know, it's just a small thing. But when you run into such things daily in a place like the Olympic Park, well... then you start asking yourself many questions.
