It was so peaceful earlier.


Beautiful day, no planes, no traffic noise, no kids kicking off.


Until somebody in the Crystal Palace Road/North Cross Road area decided to start drilling and hammering outside.


Whoever you are, I genuinely hope the outcome of your DIY was worth disturbing everybody else's peace.

It is nice when it's peaceful, so I always get up early and sit outside.


People will get up and do things - it is often the only chance they get. I'll be strimming the garden, having a garden party (don't worry, outside of London) and no doubt the kids will be making loads of noise


My house is busy from 6am to midnight, often later, so I have to make an effort to find a quiet moment - I can hear the birds singing as I sit here in the sunshine, with the dog snoring....


oh no - hold that - the teenager's just walked in ...... moment over....

Lovely quiet day yesterday (apart from the dog who barks continuously when his owners leave) as the crew doing the loft extension opposite had the day off.

All last summer had three lots of kitchen extension/loft work done at once by three neighbours. Really disturbing. Made a polite comment about it to one owner who replied "well, you must expect that when you live near a building site" as if I'd chosen the whole arrangement myself.

    • 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...
