My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago. We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed. feeling a lot less sad about that now!

Hi, I missed this - was looking for you on North Cross yesterday as had bought some of your oriental quince jelly and it’s delicious - literally just as my mum used to make it 😊. When are you back on the lane?

Think website is wrong…. Said shut Sat eve but was open when we went.

Quince jelly really nice - literally just like my mum used to make, thanks.

Ate there Sat early evening for the first time - 2 for one pizza deal - really tasty pizzas, v crispy base. Had the fish platter which was a decent size for 2 & good to share along with a pizza. Great atmosphere, do support, was not busy but very good value with the deal.

Yes, opens 11am now. The one at the station is open until 9pm on Sundays as is smaller.

Hi, has anyone used local restaurants or caterers to provide food for a party? Having one in a few week’s time and considering not doing all cooking myself!

Kingsdale do sports scholarships & I believe are sympathetic to time off for training, however, as above, I really wouldn’t start worrying about secondary for at least another couple of years.

We had a bit of excitement in the garden last week when what at first I thought was a large thrush, came out of our hedge, caught a sparrow & took off with it. Pretty certain it was a sparrow hawk. Still plenty of sparrows.

Thank you, how lovely

Our record delay was a Christmas card posted by an elderly relative a couple of weeks before Christmas that turned up in August..

Fear not, they will doubtless return soon in another guise. These provided much fun for myself & 12 year old during lockdown & were mysteriously changed on a fairly regular basis over the months. We stopped going after a ‘see how high I can go mum!’ resulted in a badly broken wrist (now absolutely fine). But I still have happy memories although the boy now avoids the hill.

NFU have given us really competitive quotes this year for house conversation previously underpinned. Think they are new to the market & gaining market share - are Which recommended

Hi - we've got a good quality kingsize duvet that's slightly too hot for me therefore hardly used and seems a shame just to take to the tip. Does anyone know of any shelters etc that might want a kingsize duvet?..

Hi, I rent out a flat in Brixton and the buzzer and entry phone don't work for my flat but is fine for the other two in the communal building. Is anyone able to fix this please? Thanks
