Falling timber seems to be following me around - a large branch has split from the trunk of a plane tree and fallen (about 30 mins or so ago) onto the pavement outside the old Curry Cabin - tried to contact relevant Southwark dept but nothing seems to be open unless someone has another number. Don't think the rest of the tree is dangerous but I'm no wood doctor.

Hi again, Maxxi... two quick updates.


Firstly, I noticed that the cut up branch was stacked in the Curry Cabin forecourt for most of yesterday, but was removed by the end of the day. But I haven't heard anything formal from the tree team yet.


Secondly, someone PMd me to say that it was witnessed that the branch was broken off by a lorry (am being specifically vague in public), so hopefully the dry weather wasn't a significant factor.


Thanks yet again for posting this, will update when I know more specifics.

I've now heard back from the tree officer... sadly, the split in the trunk of the tree runs too far down, so the tree will definitely have to be removed before it dies and becomes a safety hazard... probably in August sometime.


Have asked to plant a new replacement, but there are technical issues that need to be overcome...

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
