We were walking down Crystal Palace Road yesterday afternoon and as I usually do at this time of year I picked off one of the little apples on one of the apple trees down there. Really nice English apples....anyone know what this particular variant is called? Pretty Traditional has some similar at this time of year too.

If they're crab apples, they are unlikely to be very sweet, so best to make crab apple jelly or something with :)


ETA: There's a tree full of plums up at the Harvester, overhanging Lordship Lane, but sadly I'm only five feet four and I couldn't reach them!

Bother, I was hoping that no-one else had noticed the crabapples so there would still be some left at the weekend for me to go nab. Save a few for me please :) They aren't just on Crystal Palace Road by the way, some of the side roads have them too. I think there may even be a couple of different varieties, they look different anyway.


A bit further afield, but I cycle past absolutely tons of elderberries on my way down the old Surrey Canal path, they're at the Burgess Park end. Anyone seen any closer?

Why? Half the fun is doing it like the secret lemonade drinker aka Elvis Costello's dad! See you at witching hour, you good folk of Dulwich.

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays! 
    • Was that the one where you put a coin in and it squirted water at you? what was the name of the one in hanway street - whatever you ordered it came on a segmented tray like you get in prison (I imagine). Prices were a steal.
