I was most impressed by the new farmers' market in Horniman Gardens this morning. Week one and they already had really good and reasonably priced fruit and veg, nice meat, bread and cheese stalls and some very appealing specialist stalls for cake, muffins pasta etc. One of the stallholders said it's on Saturday mornings weekly until at least Christmas to see how it goes - let's hope it get lots of local support and flourishes!

Logically, ScotsLass, maybe not. But these things seem to go together like chickens and fair isle and artisan cheese and carved wooden blocks.

Which of course could be utilised in the slicing of cheese.


Not judging in any way. Not being cynical in any other way. Merely BEING in A way.

It's all gravy baby!!! I will have to see if I can find out any info, might be a good one for me.

I agree - a great Saturday morning family activity. Such a lovely location and plenty to keep the kids amused - outdoor musical instruments, farm animals etc... and of course the museum itself if it rains. The market is small but hopefully it will grow in time, and there is a great (and cheap) veg stall.

Free parking at Sainsbury's Forest hill for 2 hours - just walk up the hill.

If you have a hankering for Halloween bring the little ones along tomorrow, there will be all sorts of fun activities during the day in and around the museum, and we will be there to paint the faces of all those who dare to come and see us at the food market, just listen for the sound of my vintage music being played on my wind up gramophones, might even have a couple of scary tunes too!!! If you are good us Aunties will let you have a lollipop, if you are still looking for a halloween outfit for the little ones we will have some surplus ones from our dressing up box going really cheap (all as good as new and laundered. Do come along and see how scary we are, or try and scare us!!!!!

Calling all new market-visiting dog walkers.


The Horniman has a lovely spacious designated dog exercise area of grass, just below the market terrace.


Dogs are NOT permitted in the wild woodland area between the lower footpath and Wood Vale, which is a nature reserve. There are so few genuinely wild bits of London we can forget how protective we need to be.


Please circulate the info, or the management will lock the gates again.

Thanks in advance for understanding and co-operation.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
