put 15th AUG in your diaries folks!!

Ah, this would have been great as I'm keen to relearn how to play. Used to play a lot and have now completely forgotten how.


Sadly am away that weekend though - perhaps I will take my backgammon with me, together with a copy of Backgammon for Dummies.

hey Moos and Rosie... why aren't you coming to our first Tues in the month at the Mag... I've been running a little monthly backgammon soiree there for year and a half now... good food, nice people (some of whom you know) and all levels (inc beginners)... there's one on 6th july (first one I will have missed... so boo hoo, won't see you) or wait til next one on 3rd Aug so I can introduce you the gang and enjoy seeing you both!... it's a really chilled evening


if Tina can play it so can you!

karter - lol you are SO right, the PM reminders are really efficient. Nice one Charie and may I congratulate you....picnic AND backgammon.


What's not to like? (tu)

  • 1 month later...

if anyone wants to bring guitars... that would be nice too...

could this be the start of a Peckham Rye Festival (eat your heart out Big Chill...)

    • Leon responded quickly to my online enquiry and to follow-up texts when arranging a date for the work. He replaced a faulty switch for my outdoor sensor light. I expected it would be difficult to find an electrician willing to take on such a small job. So I was really pleased to find Leon and would definitely recommend him. 
    • I would not use anyone else, he now does my son and daughters boiler services and my own. He recently replaced a very old boiler and it all went well with a year guarantee.  Such a lovely person to deal with too. Very good value for money!  I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

    • Well why don’t you start totally backwards and have an idea as to what nursery and primary schools you want to target - plenty of good schools as you know each offering their own take.  large home - what are we talking about here 4/5 beds I assume with a large garden. North Dulwich Triangle - are you talking about Half Moon Lane and up to Herne Hill plus the other side say Stradella Road etc but don’t think your budget would stretch that far ! So really you want to reproduce what you have in and  around Abbeyville Road but  in Dulwich area to access both the good private and  state schools  - use to Live in Rodenhurst Road years ago - now they are nice big house with good gardens. How long do you want to commute to get to the City.? I assume you want to aces the city via ED Station or ND station and Denmark Hill Station. I know some people who actually cycle to work in the city - faster and not trapped in carriage like a sardine.! One would hope for the money you are considering spending, you won’t be undergoing major works. Dulwich Estate are not known to be the easiest to deal with and my recommendation if you are gonna be knocking down walls, building out or up is to get your self a good surveyor who is use to dealing with Dulwich Estate. My other suggestion would be to try out the trains in rush hour or when ever you both need to get into the City to work. Go walk in Dulwich Park and talk to the locals - that would give you an idea as well or do you have friends living locally. Houses around Telegraph Hill area would tick the boxes  and although limited with schooling might be OK. Good schools but not as much choice as Dulwich. To be perfectly  honest, with that budget and given the ages of your children why don’t you move to the country. -  much better for bringing up kids, commute would prob be under an hour depending on how far and which county. Your kids are still young so really education atm is not paramount. If moving to the country is too far a jump  then why don’t you consider maybe Beckenham or Bromley - lovely areas there as well. schools all decent to. Wishing you the best in your journey.
