Huggers

My mother fled across Harpenden Common with a doodlebug overhead as she pushed my eldest brothers pram. The doodlebug continued and it's engine cut just a bit further ahead and blew up the golf course.

I believe it also has to be at least one meter from any fence.

Good God, that's where my car was parked all day until I took it to Zumba later! my poor neighbours!

wedding present, looks lovely, never used it. But breadmaker and juicer now have permanent place on worktop and are used constantly- when put away are never used at all.I am looking forward to my soup maker!

ah, I had separated the didgits of my phone number

how much longer is it open? I always thought it looked closed for good and would have loved to have gone!

Pretty Greengrocers in Northcross Road sell local honey and the Peckham Marsden road wildlife garden centre office bit sell local honey too.

I used a nappy laundry service, they delivered and took away. All the eco advantage and none of the hassle. They own the nappies and you hire them. You keep them in a lidded bin for the week till they come and take them away and give you more.

It's unbelievable that they were still not functioning at 4.30pm - so they were 'out' all day. Was there no policeman conducting the traffic? that is really dangerous!

Girl 82, my point was to reply to Louisa's -''Rye Lane has not one estate agent, coffee shop or > curry house (someone correct me if I'm wrong),'' That was my point.

There's a coffee shop/caff at the Southern end on the western side. There's a delicious pizza/coffee place inside the indoor market and I am not sure that's the only one in there. There's a coffee/snack bar in the covered passageway in front of the station between the dentists and the veggie stall. There may be more.

No traffic lights at all, cars taking turns to cross. Actually they are doing it quite well!

Fiona Foster does an adult ballet class 8.30 pm mondays at the Albrighton Centre, It's been going a long time and is delightful. Term time only. She also does a Grade 6 adult class at Push studios on Friday evenings...7.30 I think.

Can I echo the concerns re the huge hedge on corner of Bellenden Road and Blenheim Grove too, it's a hazard.

I have hand over keypad and immediately my hand over the place the card emerges so both protected. I havent had anyone close but if i do, in future, i will ask them loudly to step back from the machine!

They may well be interested in them for their foyers/collections. http://www.arthurlloyd.co.uk/Birmingham/TheatreRoyalNewStreetBirmingham.htm

that's beautiful El Pibe, and Jotul are a brilliant make, one of the greats...unfortunately 'not suitable for smoke-free zones' though according to the description on your link.

You would need your chimney cleaned and tested, and probably lined. If it doesnt need lining, lining is probably advised. There are loads of fitters recommended on here through CASA in Bellenden Road, or independently. I ordered my stove independently and used Dennis to fit it 07903425482. The fitting will cost you as much or more than your stove but is essential for safety and efficiency.

agree with Bob, what do you want to use it for. For occasional and picturesque use, an open fire is very nice. There are some good gas imitation ones too that can go in the fireplace cavity. We have our original fireplace in our sitting room where we occasionally have smokeless coal fires. We used to use it much more, until we installed a woodburning stove in our kitchen diner. Our wood burning stove is on a lot, all day when I am working from home and I don't use any central heating at the same time. It takes the edge off the rest of the downstairs too while keeping the back of the house toasty. Ours can take a bit of smokeless coal too, to keep it going, but wood is what it is mainly meant to burn. Then there is storage of wood- you are not going to get far on nets of logs from garages! Bulk buying is the key and you need a place in your garden to store it where it can be both aired and kept dry. So that is a consideration. I made mine out of a pallet and a brolly in the back of the garden and that does the job. . We chose an ecologically efficient heavy steel stove which heats up very quickly and burns effectively. It was quite expensive but highly recommended by friends -Clearview. But we considered closely many others, including the very popular Morso Squirrel. It looks very attractive as it sits deep inside the fireplace cavity. If you wanted to preserve an original fireplace there are smaller ones out there, or you could sit it in front of the fireplace and connect it from the back rather than the top. A really good site for helping you decide is http://www.whatstove.co.uk/ chock-full of users reviewers. We really wanted a wood burner for our needs, and I think it would have been an expensive choice if we weren't going to use it much.

I like the Gardens but had a recent hearing test at Chadwick road surgery and was very impressed by the whole set up there. Nice modern environment, pleasant reception staff, no waiting, very refreshing altogether/

best value for miles, fantastic bubble and squeak.

is it actually open yet? where where where?

the road it is in may have been widened since then.

Littlejohn stirred the hate, made it necessary for this teacher to have to use a back exit to get in and out of school. pursued by photographers who were after a first photo. The ball started rolling with a local Manchester journalist who took a non-story and catapulted it into the news, digging up a couple of objecting parents who gave their children thoughts they probably didn't have. So I expect Littlejohn, by making what would anyway be a stressful period for the teacher into a nightmare, is partly responsible.
