Another vote for Parkside near the Herne Tavern .Spacious ,clean ,quiet .Friendly service ,good food and good price .

Mariamadelt - the original post refers to knitted or sewn hearts . "Something we began doing a few years back was giving family members a knitted or sewn heart pair"

Sally - mmm ,I'm a cat owner and lover but I sympathise . Water pistol on sight ? Light covering of sharp sand on key areas ? Good suggestions here https://www.countryliving.com/uk/wildlife/pets/a32402647/how-stop-cats-pooping-in-garden/#:~:text=One%20of%20the%20natural%20ways,and%20spray%20around%20the%20garden.

Ah ,typical of me ! Always late to the party .

Thanks for that BNG .Did you see that er are being encouraged by RSPB to leave mud pies out to help swifts with nest building ? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/may/05/mud-water-to-help-nesting-migrating-birds-during-uk-heatwave-rspb-aoe

"Think the homes in question are actually on the ED end of Bellenden Road" What makes you think that rollflick ?

https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/akita/ "not recommended with other dogs" "Akitas are quiet, fastidious dogs. Wary of strangers and often intolerant of other animals, Akitas will gladly share their silly, affectionate side with family and friends. They thrive on human companionship. The large, independent-thinking Akita is hardwired for protecting those they love. They must be well socialized from birth with people and other dogs."

any idea why ? I'm motivated more by an interest in why part of the road was closed than a desire to be 100% geographically accurate about the location of the closure .

just wondering

Oh no ,that's awful .I know people who have watched the progress of this family ,and earlier families .They are going to be heartbroken. What was the dog owner's reaction ? An offer to pay vet bills for the damage caused I hope . Is there any update ?Did the gosling escape ?

I think barging in/surprising people is rarely a good tactic . Could you write them a letter ?Maybe talk through the contents with someone you trust first ? As others have said ,don't give up hope .14 is still very young ,and an emotional age .There are years ahead to rebuild and have a relationship .

Nigello - hawk seen with blackbird 4.30pm today .In front garden Barry Rd ,nos 163 or thereabouts .

I'm glad the police came quickly and that it seems to being dealt with . It must have been traumatising to see ,hope you're getting over it .

"Perhaps they should appoint the guys at @SaveOaks to oversee the project and take a share of any savings they identify and make for the council!" what an excellent idea !

Admin are you referring to Metallic's post at 5.18pm ? If so I'm not following your point ,could you explain ?

tomskip -pruning often results in reinvigorated growth .Though if it's privet and hacked ,that might not be the case.

Southwark used to cut back overhanging shrubbery and then charge the occupier .But I've seen no evidence of that procedure for years . I doubt the council are responsible for your situation ,they wouldn't leave it on the pavement .

Specifically the one near Mountacre Close just south of The Woodhouse pub ,driving from East Dulwich to Crystal Palace . Caught a relative exceeding 20mph twice in same day .Make us feel better by recounting similar .Seems odd really as often drive that way and never a problem .

Have you asked Mrs Buzzard if she can shed any light ?

I wonder if the engine really does have to be left running ? I can't see why the driver would lie but on the other hand ,it seems many don't require this . And is Dulwich Village really in East Dulwich ? Should this be in the lounge ?

I agree TheCat ,i may seem perverse but actually I'm less interested in the name and want to know their role .And it's not always easy to be craning one's neck to get the name badge into the part of my varifocal that's going to enable me to read it .And it's taken me a while to remember that if someone in a hospital is in casual clothes and is called Mr Smith it's not because he's an administrator or pharmaceutical rep but a surgeon .

ed - overdevelopment is a concept that planning authorities use and Southwark rejected this application on the grounds that it's massing and height was out of scale with neighboroughing properties . "The proposed development would disrupt the established urban pattern of development and relate poorly to the host building and the adjacent cinema building, being of a massing and height that overwhelms the prevailing scale of the local context." https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=QVIPI3KBGSO00

I had the same feeling of interest - the windows left open on the old mini cab office .Very Marie Celeste.

whereabouts?

Heartblock hope all ok if you decided to travel.
