Hello DulCool1. Hello Everyone.


DC, I'm curious to know what your first language is.


And as a sort of answer to your question... I used to cycle up Dog Kennel Hill each day on my way to work. However I felt when I left home there was something heartening in seeing the view uphill with the treeline meeting the sky. And then, some years ago, they built an apartment block two thirds of the way up the hill, with an upper storey that extended even above the treeline. And that view disappeared for ever.

Hope and Greenwood used to be my absolute favourite place. Now I love the Japanese Garden in Peckham Rye Park. I love the cinema. I love Brick House Bakery, the Forest shop on Frogley and Pearspring. I?m also growing rather fond of the new cafe in Peckham Rye Park. Not for the menu in particular but for the view.
I don't shop there (my wife likes the vegan food stall though) but I've always loved the energy of North Cross Road market on a Saturday morning, especially since it's revival thanks to our local councillors amongst others a few years ago. It's super friendly, attracts a lot of people from outside the area and although it's very small, there's lots to see, hear and smell - a real feast for the senses! I miss the cat with the pirate collar that used to stroll around near the chemists, was so sad to hear it passed away.
I've lived here since 1996. I still love the view from the Horniman Museum Gardens (although just outside SE22) more than anything. I also love Nunhead Cemetery and Crystal Palace Park for a wander (again, not SE22 but close enough). In terms of businesses, I would say Farmers, Franklins, Thai Corner Cafe, the Great Exhibition, Greetings, Willow, Karavan, St Christopher's. All the other bars and restaurants seem to change hands frequently.

    • Good luck with this - it is getting harder than ever to do an infant observation, I did mine at a local nursery as I needed to observe a child from 9 months - 3years. Mine was weekly for 3 months, It is surprising what you can observe during that one hour. I continued to use my observational skills throughout my 21 year professional career, After I retired, I returned to University and trained as a Practice Educator and went on to have 5 students and encouraged them not just to listen but to observe their 'clients 'body languages/ environment/ relationships with others. I would urge parents/caregivers to participate - you will be surprised how much more you will understand about your child and their development,
    • Regardless of who 'owns' the bin- the organisation regularly comes to empty it and clear up the area. They were there today (Weds)
    • I was just giving advice as to what to do with a 9 year old during school holidays as per Pugwash’s original post. I like to keep it simple Sue. 
    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
