So sorry for your loss. It's tough I know. When my husband passed away I felt quite isolated as I had spent nearly 6 years caring for him which took up best part of my time. I was left with a feeling of complete emptiness. I was advised to seek counselling, which I did, and this helped me considerably. I found I had a need to talk about my man and my feelings but I didn't want to burden my friends with my woes. I joined an adult education class taking up art again, as I had always enjoyed painting. Doing something creative seems to concentrate the mind. Also gardening is good and there may be a gardening society near you. Sydenham Garden in Wynell Road, Forest Hill, welcomes volunteers. They have a website if you want to know more. I don't know where you're based but if you have a car it would be no problem to get to. I think there is a tennis club there too if you're of a more sporty nature. Sports clubs are always good to join even if you're only a social member. You can possibly help out with events and meet new people that way. I do hope you're able to find something that helps you to overcome your grief but it will take time.

I think that comment about joining a book group was aimed at Natty

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
