If it is coming into your garden below fence level, either you or they need to sink a strong barrier well below soil level to block it from doing that, I would have thought. It is a different issue from overhanging branches (which yes, you can just cut off on your side) and I doubt a tree surgeon would be the right person to deal with it. An experienced gardener might be able to help, or if you know someone who is a member of the RHS, ask them to contact the RHS for advice. Or try googling? ETA: When I say well below soil level, I mean the bottom of the barrier should be well below soil level. But I have no idea if the bamboo could still get through somehow. Some types are extremely invasive and it's better to plant them in a buried container of some kind (and even then they can break out of the container!)

Maybe things have improved? We will try again.

I left it too late this year. If you haven't received your ticket I should check your spam folder, and if it isn't there I would contact them, as security was tight last year and they probably won't let you in without it. Good luck!

Not local, but Ethos (just off Oxford Street) is fantastic. Wide range of very yummy vegan food which you pay for by weight. Excellent value for money. However not the sort of place you would linger for hours over a meal and a few drinks - more the sort of place you would go to for lunch if you were shopping nearby. More boho but also yummy food is Vantra in Wardour Street (the Leicester Square end).

I think you can have a very unhealthy vegan diet (ie not eating meat or dairy but eating a load of other crap). Whereas plant-based is (I think ) supposed to be more healthy and unprocessed. But I stand to be corrected :)) ETA: Just googled and found this: "A plant-based diet is a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. ... A vegan diet is strictly against animal products, in every form. Not only do vegans not eat meat, dairy, eggs, or honey, they also don't wear animal products (think leather) or use products tested on animals." Also found this: https://www.health.com/nutrition/what-is-a-plant-based-diet

Never thought I'd see Edward Hopper mentioned in a thread about Lordship Lane! One of my favourite artists! :)

Exactly the same happened to me. I had to go through them all and mark them as not spam. It's never happened before. I use gmail and have done for years.

That was a very kind thing to do, ponderwoman.

:))

You could have a look at this thread: /forum/read.php?20,2037970,page=1 Also, a few months back I had a fantastic vegan roast at The Actress. If they still have the same chef, it would be worth checking that out on a Sunday.

Well, they wouldn't be "my" recipes, they would be recipes devised by other people :)) :)) :)) You probably wouldn't want to eat "my" recipes. Those usually consist of seeing what I've got in the fridge and making it all into a soup :)) :)) :))

Except I stupidly assumed it would be free. But it isn't :(

But also wondering what the explanation was???

Organic Village has loads of stuff at the back. Gather in Bellenden Road is brilliant. The Ivy House has a new chef and he does a great vegan burger. ETA: I have also found it challenging. Someone on here recommended the Bosh cookbooks, which are excellent. I also use the How Not To Die cookbook a lot. I try out a few new recipes a month, make a load and freeze them. If I don't like them I delete them from my repertoire! I find it's useful to keep a stock of snacks in the freezer. Also I make my own hummus, and olive tapenade. Both very quick and easy in a food processor. I also second Health Matters (they have a load of useful things in the back part of the shop) and Tart for yummy lunches, though not all their options are completely plant based.

Oh that's good news, I wondered what that was going to be!

Bloody hell, I thought you were joking, but .... https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/lidl-southwark-bermondsey-peckham-locations/ I used to trek down to the Lidl in Peckham, but it got too much like a trip to Ikea. Too many impulse buys because things are so cheap. I still have cornichons in honey (why?!) in my cupboard from a Lidl visit several years ago :))

Crikey, that's a very convincing argument, you've got me thinking now :)) Maybe you could start a petition?

Google the make and the problem. Might be a simple fix. Good luck!
