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*

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
