Hello all,

Some before and after photos of a recent paving job for a friendly client in East Dulwich.

The brief was to improve the alley and make it easier for her daughter to roll her bike through to the back of the house - the previous pebbles were unstable and cumbersome.

Once I had removed the existing pebbles, I dug out the mud to lay MOT sub base and sand before setting the pavers.

The project needed to be completed on a budget so we utilised the original pebbles to run alongside the pavers, which adds a nice decorative effect too. We also used some small recycled slabs from another part of the garden to fit awkward spaces.

As you can see, the larger pavers are staggered - this was to disguise the fact that the edge of the alley does not run parallel with the house. This was conducted by suggestion of my client and a good idea she was happy with.

My musically talented client was very pleased with the result and it was a pleasure to work with her.

If you have a garden task you’d like some help with, feel free to message me here or WhatsApp/text/call me on 07884432021.

Many thanks!

- Research - Seeking PHSE leads/Heads of Years (secondary school)

  I’m currently conducting exploratory research into menstrual health education in UK secondary schools and would really value the insight of PSHE leads, Heads of Year, or pastoral staff. The research aims to understand: How the menstrual cycle is currently taught within the RSHE framework Where schools feel confident — and where there may be gaps Whether students are taught and asking questions around the full menstrual cycle, symptoms, wellbeing and conditions such as PMS/PMDD or endometriosis How schools support students in feeling empowered to understand their bodies and seek help appropriately Whether education around nutrition, lifestyle, and menstrual wellbeing is currently addressed The long-term goal is to explore whether there is a need for additional, age-appropriate, medically informed support on the menstrual cycle. I’m not selling a programme and there is no obligation beyond a 30 minute informal chat online (Unpaid). All conversations will be confidential and used only to inform the research. If you work in a UK secondary school and would be willing to share your perspective, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you. Please comment below or email me [email protected] Thank you for the vital work you do. Best wishes, Emma

  Nice topic and nice song! 1) Definitely top of Canonbie, looking North. 2) What used to be Francesca Cabrini school at the top of FHR. 3) Honor Oak playground, next to Camberwell New cemetery.
