Canada Water-South Bank - Deptford - Canada Water Loop. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-south-bank-loop-tickets-654086419087 

10am to 12.30 noon. Bruce leading. Easy ride that uses the Cycleways across north Southwark. Start/finish next to Decathlon, London SE16 7FU, beside Canada Water and near the station. Note change in meeting point as Saturday Market makes Deal Porter Square congested.  Begin by picking up Cycleway 14 on the Albion Channel close to Canada Water. Follow C14 past the Brunel Museum and the Salter Statues to Jamaica Rd.  Cycle crossing to C14 (Tanner St), continue past Guys Hospital and through Flat Iron Square to Blackfriars Rd. Leave C14 and head north on C6 to Upper Ground and follow this to the South Bank. Possible coffee break there. Continue along Upper Ground and join C10 (Quietway 1) at Cornwall Rd. Route heads back on C10 past the Old Vic, through Trinity Square, past Crol Café on Dunton Rd and Millwall Stadium, through Folkstone Gardens, eventually to Deptford High St. Probably turn there and head for the river and pick up National Route 4, the Thameside route, back to Canada Water.  This becomes C14 at South Dock and continues through Russia Woodland to the Albion Channel where we first joined it.  Ride suitable for newish cyclists to show the E-W routes in the north of the borough.  Plenty of interest for experienced cyclists.  11 miles. Route at https://bit.ly/30lzAza. 

Greenwich to Lesnes Abbey    < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/greenwich-to-lesnes-abbey-ride-tickets-654076569627 

9.30 am to 1.00 pm. Start/finish Cutty Sark, next to the tunnel entrance. Note the slightly earlier 9.30 start. Amanda leading. 20 mile route that largely follows the river, keeping to the south side. Outward takes the Thames path round the Greenwich peninsula and continues to Woolwich and Thamesmead. After an ascent of the famous Thamesmead Tor, heads inland to Lesnes Abbey, a well-deserved coffee break with time for a quick look at the ruins of the Abbey. On the return use more of the linear, elevated, Ridgeway path to Woolwich, then Thames path again until the Ecology Park at N Greenwich. Cut across the peninsula to save your legs and finish along a short stretch of Thames path to Cutty Sark. High proportion of this route is on off-road paths. Loads to see, including riding past the O2, Thames Barrier and the steel men (“Assembly” by Peter Burke) at Woolwich Arsenal.  

These rides are organised by Southwark Cyclists, and are part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
