THe White horse Tuesday night is excellent

Had a fab lunch at the Palmerston the other day and Banh Banhs great too

63 all the way to KX or train Denmark hill/peckham rye to st Pancras on thameslink.

For clarity I am totally against the proposed rerouting. THat London Bridge connection should stay

I asked behind the counter ages ago - she said Costa Coffee

Friends in Oakhurst grove have had an invasion too.

NO

Mating toads at the pond in the garden last night. Another 16 or so were dotted about having a grand old time. Slightly later this year than last. see pic attached.

Pair of Long tailed tits in the garden today - Marsden Road - rare siting for here.

Excellent idea, what about an ED goose tracker app?

A pair spotted leaving Dulwich park lake at 1030 this morning, maybe on their way to Peckham?

I highly recommmend Crystal palace pool. Its 50 m, and I use fins and floats there no problem. No idea what one poster was saying about resticted hours. THere are always 3-4 lanes available for serious swimmers 7am - 7pm https://www.better.org.uk/leisure-centre/london/crystal-palace/crystal-palace-national-sports-centre/timetable/pool and of course there is the 50 m lido at Brockwell park for the summer months. Personally dont rate JAGS because of VERY restricted opening hours and short pool.

I have reported this knotweed to the council in the past. It has been sprayed, but keeps coming back - nature of the beast. I know that I am not the only one to report it. Noone wants to see it spreading any further.

Boy I wish I'd seen that! Lucky you

Check out Walkfit at Dulwich park 3 times a week, V social but some good exercise in company.

I'm not a commuter but does Bic Bashers remark re east Croydon mean that we will get back an ED EC connection on 2018? If so fab news for Gatwick connections.

Hi Rich, So sorry to hear that Balfe's has been targetted by these low lifes. Hope they get caught soon. Louise

Hi Ashley a small group of us run on a Monday morning at 930 from Dulwich Park usually, through the woods when its not too muddy. We are pretty slow but you are welcome to join us. we run 5-6 K usually unless someone is injured. Coffee afterwards is virtually mandatory! Let me know if you are interested, Louise Just off for a run to Brockwell park

The park authorities have been trying to control the robust rat population around the lake and surrounds. There are many rodent control points - small black plastic things with bait and poison. On one walk last week I saw over 6 different rats. I am sure that the park people try to site the baited traps away from areas that might be accessible to dogs, Dog walkers beware.

I agree with Bobbsy and Bargee, no local trains through to East Croydon make getting to gatwick MUCH harder , we've already lost ED to EC, now Forest Hill too! Beyond Clapham Junction - shudders. Any other options avoiding LB?

My vote goes to Anetos on East Dulwich road, a fab cup of coffee

I read His Bloody project recently too - set in the highland in a crofting community. Longl;oisted for Booker this year Excellent

Was it locked to one of the cycle parking stands?
