First off - happy May Day everyone. I love the start of May - such a beautiful month (having a birthday in it helps ;-)).


Does anyone know if anything May Day-ish is happening in or around ED this weekend? I was thinking May Pole, Morris Dancers ('cept the guy with the pig's bladders and horse's head used to freak me out when I was a kid)?


I had a quick look in the What's on Section and couldn't find anything - any ideas?


Oh - it has to be suitable for a 4 month old baby, a nearly three year old whirling dirvish and a 'still a kid' 35 year old uncle - and me (who will be hitting the gin anyway!).


Thanks for your help xxxxx

Was up there today but thanks to the rain, I totally missed all of this and stayed camped out in the RFH.


Did see what looked like hundreds of nuns out running around Southwark bridge I think it was.....as some were definitely male, methinks if was some kind of fun run. But still a rather strange sight!!!

I missed it too 'cos of the rain ;-( But we had a totally fab time at the London Transport Museum (with my brother and I getting really competitive with the card-stamping orienteering thing).


We then went and watched some of the busking shows in Covent Garden - where a hapless and nameless 3 year old girl tried to join in and gave her own break dancing sideshow - completely stealin gthe thunder from the guy who was 'supposed' to be the centre of attention.


Sigghhh - happy days!

      Vet recommendation

      By tiddles · Posted

      Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent.

      Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
