I really hope Bertie is on the mend. I had one horrifying instance when my cat got out the front, ran into the road and was paralysed by fear as a car approached - luckily they stopped. I sometimes chase cats out of the road as cars approach, just in case.

Earlier today a large ginger and white cat was stuck up a tree and then apparently hit by a car in Ondine Road. It was taken to the Neighbourhood Vets on Lordship Lane. I'm hoping it was chipped and its owner has been alerted already, but I'm posting this just in case. Sorry but I've no further info – I was asked to post this by a neighbour. Fingers crossed the cat is OK.

I?ve lost several hanging baskets and a rose bush. I?ve resigned myself to not having a Christmas wreath - it wouldn?t last the month. Sorry this has happened to you.

I wouldn?t necessarily trust that site. I went to collect a parcel one evening when the PO was meant to be open but it was just the shop part still open.

Last night a rose bush was dug up and stolen from our front garden. How can we stop this?

In the last 12 months we?ve had 4 hanging baskets stolen from our garden on Oglander.

On Oglander too.

Around 7-8pm. Thanks Freya.

They?ve just been nicked. I know it?s hardly crime of the century, but still upsetting and annoying as we spent time and money on them. Complete and utter b*stards.

Just seen 3 people give money. I was on the other side of the road so watched him walk away. I don?t think I?ve ever seen anyone who?s has a bike accident looking quite so happy.

No thanks. Been there, done that, and it was hell.

It?s worth phoning to complain if you want to make sure you get a refund, in my experience.

A big thanks to Nigel and his team, who have just done most if not all of the above in my own garden! It looks neater than it has in years, with everything trimmed back and tidied up. There is now space for existing plants to thrive and some new ferns and hellebores have been planted. They also thoroughly cleaned the deck and patio. I?m happy to say I won?t be spending the winter looking out the window and feeling guilty for letting things get out of hand, but will soon be admiring the daffodils and tulips and looking forward to spending time outside! Thanks again, Nigel and co, for a great job.
