Thames Water are responsible for shared drains from the junctions where they join up out to the road. This should include the manhole cover in your garden.

Krystals pharmacy in Nunhead take them.

You could try Roseberys Auctions in West Norwood. They can give you a valuation if you email images, subject to seeing items, condition etc

.bbka.org.uk>swarm removal or lbka.org.uk Info and pictures on both websites to check if they are honey bees plus "Find a Local Swarm Collector" by putting in your postcode. A beekeeper would only collect honey bees. It's unlikely that a swarm of honey bees would survive for over a month outside. Could it be wasps?

I think they might be gazanias.

Davis and Vaughan, Upland Road Brilliant working jewellers with their workshop on the premises.

The Orchard Project?

You're welcome

City Mobility, Southwark Park Road, sell reconditioned wheelchairs and probably repair them too. 020 7394 0591

Rye Hide are offering a leather making workshop in the What's On section. They might be able to help.

You could try contacting South London Makerspace, based in Herne Hill. southlondonmakerspace.org

The larger St.Christopher's charity shop on Lordship Lane is still taking them in.

I think there's a top bar in Burgess Park but I don't know how you'd get hold of the beekeepers at this time of year. You could contact London Beekeepers Association or Bromley BKA - both very friendly. I think doing inspections is a bit more difficult with TBs because the frames aren't supported at their base but you probably know that!

Thomas Calton Centre in Peckham does an evening class course in soft furnishing including cushion making.

Just echoing everyone's recommendations. Dave came round pretty much straight away when I phoned him, explained his prices in advance, cleared our blocked outside drains very efficiently. Good to have someone you can trust and recommend to others.

Many thanks, Pablo, I'll see if they have anything suitable.

Can anyone recommend an introduction to vegetarian cookery class? This is for an adult with pretty basic cooking skills so nothing too fancy! Local and weekend if possible. Thanks.

Hi Calsug, sent you a PM. Liz

Davis and Vaughan, Upland Road. Very helpful and they have their workshop at the back of the shop.

Also, wear a mouth mask while you are dealing with the mould so you are not breathing in the spores.

For the repairs, you could try John Procter, the luthier at Nunhead Green.

Could you try to identify what sort of bees they are from the BBKA website photos before you call out a beekeeper? Beekeepers collect honey bee swarms or colonies which can be re homed. If they are under a shed, they probably aren't honey bees, which build comb downwards.

I think these would be herbicides, not pesticides.
