In the guardian today, the photographer Richard Chambury had the following photo published but what me chuckle was the description where he said the two ladies look like rap stars on an album cover - and every time I look it it I just think how true that is

Today's description in the Daily Mail of the Garden Party this Tuesday gone - Apparently the Queen left to the band playing "that's entertainment", Camilla was wearing a pale green outfit, and the Queen apparently had a quick bite of a cucumber sarnie.

Makes me wonder if the writer was actually there as I distinctly remember it was a selection of James Bond music, it was a gold/cream/browny kind of outfit and if the cucumber sarnies were the same as I had sampled then clearly the Queen is missing a few taste buds.


Hehehehe!

I was indeed at the Garden Party. It was a very enjoyable afternoon (even though it was wet for most of it). The Queen, who is much slimmer than the image you see on the telly, was actually smiling in a relaxed manner. The Duke being his usual cheeky self. Charles was instructing people on the best way to queue in the tea tent "simply run over there before anyone else catches on" and Camilla being her usual self on insisting to speak to as many people as possible and frustrating her escort by holding everything up. No I didnt speak to any of them (I'm still working on "those" circles) ;-)

The was really quite delightful - I can never understand why people complain the portions are so small as there's no limit as to how much or how frequent one piles onto the plate (from what I could figure out anyway).

To the ridiculously dressed small balding man - you think us women had silly hats? Quite clearly you've NEVER looked in a mirror! :))

Whether or not you're into the royals and all that it is still an exciting event and something not to be turned down if given the opportunity.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
