How about this bargain, if that one doesn't appeal .... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313754567488 Cheap postage, too 🤣

Why would anyone be using them in the street and just throw them down? 🙄

It sold chocolate coated coffee beans from s big glass jar on a shelf behind the counter, and had lovely cosy quirky little rooms. It was never quite the same when they knocked it all through, though I understand why they did it.

Just a short time ago (half term) he was preparing the back garden part for winter by putting some kind of roof over it. So this closure seems very sudden 😭

Hope your son is OK?

That's a bit odd, as why would you have his details otherwise?

Blue Mountain is closing permanently. I'm devastated. Its latest incarnation was brilliant. It was the first sign of gentrification in East Dulwich many moons ago, but a good one. 😭😭😭

Have a look at Lloyds Direct (used to be Echo). Your relative can get her meds delivered direct to her home. And they arrive on time, even though they come via Royal Mail! Delivery is free.

Curated.

It is quite easy to email The Gardens. Their email address is clearly given on the "contact us" page of their website. [email protected] I used it to send written information to a GP prior to a telephone appointment.

Thanks, I'm cabinet 34, but I have no idea where that is!

I keep thinking surely they will remove it soon, but they don't.

How on earth do you all recognise these people?!

They keep the Guinness well, too. And they've got a great jukebox, which last time we were in there we didn't have to pay for, grammar.

Sorry duplicate post

I have one in a pot which has kept going for a good few years now. You do have to make sure it is pot grown and not just dug up and shoved in a pot with its roots cut off to fit the pot, though! Mind you I do have an allotment to keep it on!
