Of course you do Olivia, I beg you, keep it as a token.

Oh what a lovely, lovely afternoon - thank you so much for arranging Lady Katharina Van Der Wotsit. Especially pleased to catch up with Big Bad Wolf again - nice sun tan: clearly the outdoor life agrees with you. Nice to see the two dogs: Woof and Timothy Henrique Hallal (the latter who licked me to bits, gave me a good run for my money, attempted to eat my posh crackers, and stuck his bum in the olives). Sorry for making you cry Andreas - hope you can forgive me - I can be a little scary at times. As for those two gorgeous little devils who fed the crows my expensive organic farmhouse vintage cheddar (LOL) you gave me a good run for my money too - you were too fast for me this this time. But I'll beat you next time. Ted Max, was that really you? Your visit was short and sweet but we appreciated your parting gift to us very much. We won't forget that in a hurry.


Daizie, Quids (accompanied by one of his own cute sprogs as well as one of Boris Johnson's), Katie1997 and CitizenED, it was lovely to see you all again. And OliviaDee, HonaloochieB, and *Bob* it was a real pleasure to meet you.


Drank, ate, talked, and ran far too much.


But hey, what a great day!

Did dear Timmy take off with one of my espadrilles btw?


I had to walk up Barry Road in my high-heeled clogs, not easy you'll understand with all those picnic bags and a half-eaten rosemary sourdough loaf under my arm.

(edited for discretion - used a real name when i really shouldn't have)

Lovely afternoon and great to meet everyone. Sorry for eating lots of your food KT and LM and drinking your wine. In my defence I would say that me and the little one had got there on time and had eated our picnic by the time you late starters arrived. Nuff said. And dear LM you make me sign an official gagging order not to tell about that incident and then you blab it out on here the very next day. What are you like! Still, your secret is safe with me. Sorry never got the chance to chat OD, catch up next time perhaps?

Citizen great to meet you and your family, the game of football earlier was fun

Shouldn't have worn those shoes tho lol


There's still so much food left, crackers and olives all week I think :)


the park is fab, glad we have this nearby. Here's to the next one!


PS. I think you'd left by the other (even later!) ones turned up. No name tags tho, d'ya mean that may not have been the real *bob*? ;)

Ahem! Do you not know who I am? And that other grand dame too - Lady Katharina Van Der Wotsit? Ladies of repute - that's who!!! Imaginary guests indeed! You left early - do you not recall? The unexpected guests arrived shortly after your departure and stayed till almost 9.00pm. Had you stayed longer you too would have met them. You cheeky man! LOL!


*gives CitizenED hard "imaginary" slap*

    • A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

    • Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?  
    • Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain. 
    • Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
