I've contacted someone at the wildlife centre for further info, which I will share.


Symbiotic relationship sounds good to me!

This is a bit disgusting so don't read on if you don't want to!


Has anyone else found very very small curly poos? I climbed down into our front garden today to do a bit of a clean up and near the exit of a drain pipe from the roof was a huge pile of hundreds of tiny curled brown poos. They look about the right size to have come from rats but they are curled so I have no idea what they can be from. Any ideas? Please help, it's grossing me out.

I saw it too at about 3 or so crossing the path coming away from sainsburys. I know there are rats everywhere in London but they still scare me to death. I think I might email sainsburys and ask them to investigate under their bushes.

On a nicer note, whilst strolling up by Sydenham Hill Station yesterday I spotted a peacock. It was just wandering around the street and then into someone's front garden. Having watched/followed it for some minutes it did the a most un-peacock like thing and flew onto the roof. Quite impressive, mind you. I have pictures on my phone I shall attempt to upload later in the day.

The rain finally falls to give the garden a good soaking and not before time.


It will help all the fruits and veg to grow and swell.


I traded some of my organic runner beans which I had a glut of for scrambled eggs at Homemade yesterday,


which was very convenient and delicious.

That'll be one of the peacocks that escaped from Tracy Thier's place on Sydenham Hill.

    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks 
    • Without doubt a busy road with constant traffic - but can always put in double glazing. If you have a car, don’t expect to park right outside - prob further away but with walking distance. Agree with PeckhamNicola re train times and freight but at least not wizzing by every few minutes! Sorry but little experience in state schools - obviously you have plenty of private - Jags Dulwich College, Alleyns. Judith Kerr on Half Moon Lane - good rep - no idea whether secondary or primary  - think primary. Also Charter School North - good reputation and Ark Evelyn - no idea! You might also look at West Dulwichand Crystal Palace Schools. Try Harris Academy as well. All the best.
