OMG, this is from their website:


"Zest Media produces luxury lifestyle magazines for the ultra high net worth residents of London. Each publication has been individually tailored to its readership, the common thread being beautiful design and fascinating local content bringing a national tone to local magazines."


Surely this isn't the "credible" magazine someone else was going on about on here? "Bringing a national tone to local magazines" ???


"Ultra high net worth residents of London"???? Jesus Christ. Sorry for blaspheming.

Absolutely Bonkers! 55 pages of property cr*p, some over the top fashion nonsense and a couple of interesting (ish) features and single pages of local interest. Better than that SE22 dross tho. Good print & stock... can't begin to imagine who would pay ?3.95 for it?
this is yet another cynical self serving bit of self promotion by local estate agents and overpriced pretentious local shops. it seems to me that all the local magazines have all the same contributors and advertisers. same old stuff regurtitated. who do they think they are? it has all got a bit too cosy and boring.

Hmm, what was it about the millionaire Foxy that first attracted me to him?

    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter.
