The man who writes the history books on Peckham, and is the editor of The Peckham Society News (which last year came second in a national magazine award for locally produced magazines), Mr John Beesley, lives near Copleston Road. If he doesn't know, I don't know who will, except for people who know, that is... www.peckhamsociety.org

Copleston Road is named after my great grandmother, Dame Eliza Copleston. The road was named after her by the man who built it. She was a great beauty of her day, and Lord Michael of Popadopalot became completely transfixed by her enormous eyes and the perfect shape of her ankle. It caused a terrific scandal at the time and is best left alone as she was a married lady with two young children at the time...


Lord Plopalot's behaviour was a complete disgrace I have heard, and I believe that he was run out of town by my grandfather. He is rumoured to have eventually made a fortune selling hair tonic before being strung up by the itinerants!

    • They’ve backed away from pretending they produce their own goods recently. That claim sat at the centre of the misdirection for years. They’ve now accepted they can’t sustain it, so they’re beginning to highlight the local independent bakeries whose products they actually sell. The business is essentially a courier model running on a slim margin.
    • Another sparrow hawk visor to our cherry tree at the weekend.  Our robin survived, but we may be a sparrow down.     any thoughts on bird feeders & bird baths with the current bird flu?  I try to wash out the bird bath most days when at home, but not on the 3 days in a row that I’m in the office & the bird feeders rather less regularly. Would it be better not to have at all (as my partner thinks)? 
    • OOOPS. My daughter just had to pay a five pound fine. I hadn't put a stamp on it. I remember wondering whether to use a  first or second class stamp,  and clearly when I posted it I still hadn't decided (but sadly didn't notice). I feel really bad for suspecting a postie might have  opened it.  Sorry posties.
    • If anyone is thinking about selling one, please reach out 🙂
