We welcome you to Dawson's Heights,

it is high enough to see out, over the sights.

There is so much to see, so much on show,

as long as you don't suffer from Vertigo.


Look over London and see the sights,

when its dusk you can see bright lights.

To your flat climb the stairs or use the lift,

shortly a list of friends will start to exist.


If you want to find where shopping is best,

there are many that will answer your request.

Travelled here by Bus, Car, Plane or Train,

I bet you will soon feel you want to remain.

It will be busy tonight. Lots of people congregate to see the views and fireworks across London.

As long as you have a car/motorcycle and / or a good set of lungs to climb up and down the hill, you are going to have a great time. The views are so wonderful. Having said that maybe your own flat does not have a view! The north facing 'garden' does, though! And of course then you have Horniman Gardens also. A great place to live I would have thought. Just buy a BIG freezer to stock up on stuff when you are snowed in and can't walk or drive up and down the hills! Welcome to the area.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
