This ride called Gardens in the City is one of a series of longer rides going that bit further. Still easy paced and free. Because it goes into the city this one is also completely flat, which is nice.

There are a lot of small green spaces in the City, many with an interesting history. They are easily missed in the daily rush around, so here is an opportunity to seek them out. The ride is being led by Werner who says it will definitely include the Inner Temple, Smithfield Rotunda, Postman's Park with the Watts memorial and St Mary's Aldermanbury with probably time for many more such as Bunhill Fields and Charterhouse Square.

The ride starts and finishes at Canada Water Library, opposite CW Station, SE16 7AR. Start time is 9.30, finishing at 1pm. Canada Water is on the Overground with excellent lift access to the lines but check the status before you travel

The exact route is fluid so there's no map. Bruce's phone no is: 07729 279 945

  Posh mummies and daddies with all the gear (gold helmets, trendy jackets, paniers fore and aft) love to brandish the kiddywinks they carry as a kind of carte blanche to cycle on footpaths, even when they’re right next to a cycle lane and/or a LTN. Resist! (Lycra-clad “professionals”, though, are often courteous and law-abiding, stopping at zebras and knowing their place is on the road and not the pavement.)

- Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

  This is clearly far from a unique issue. Somebody posted this on Facebook and it is so similar to posts here I asked him if he was with Tessa Jowell - he said "no, Lewisham". "This morning on the microsecond of 8am I tried to get through to my GP on the phone...it went straight through to Hold. Tried again. Same thing. Tried a third time...Same thing. OK, I thought, I will hold. 32 minutes later, I gave up. The voice said "Did you know you can now book appointments online?" NO YOU CAN'T...I have the Patient Access App & for the past 2 years it has said "This practice is unable to book appointments online." Anyhooooo...on way back from shops I popped into the actual surgery to see if I could book an appointment in advance...that was my second mistake...Receptionist said "No. You will have to ring up on a Monday morning to see if we have any for that week" "Oh, and what time should I ring?" "It's best to ring at 8am" "But i just spent 32 minutes this morning on hold and couldn't even get through" "Yeah, sorry about that, we are short-staffed at the moment...but did you kn ow you can now book appointments in advance online?" "No, you can't" "Well, there are sometimes some appointments available online" "Nope, no there aren't...looked every day for 2 years and not a scintilla of an appointment..." "Well, you could always ring up at 8am" "You do know the whole system is completely falling to pieces?" Receptionist gives rueful look. In case I lost it and set fire to the whole fecking GP Practice there and then, I left. I will try again tomorrow morning at 8am. And see if Dr Godot will see me...We are well and truly f****d, peoples."
