We used to always go down and buy some in Camden for fireworks night. Hubbie and I would wander down to Battersea with a large thermos of warm mulled wine and a large bag of mushrooms. Such a great place to do them in. Although we usually ended up at the Funky Monkey in the end. Last time I did that, I ended up having a conversation with someone's letter box asking it if knew the way home.


Ah, the days before children.

I had a few bad trips on the old magic mushies, but the good bits stay with you forever. When I used to live in Herne Hill I spent weeks looking in Brockwell Park with no joy, until one day I stumbled upon a huge patch on the hill at the back of the cafe. Wahey!


A few days later I went out to someone's birthday party then came home pissed, swigged down a bunch with a can of beer and went to bed. At three in the morning I awoke bolt upright, put on my running stuff and jogged round the south circular in the rain for about two hours as well as scuttling around Brockwell Park in the dark feeling like the guy in American Werewolf only with more clothes on...Strangely enough, haven't done anything like that for a while. Perhaps the time is soon.


The other week I found a shaggy ink cap in someone's garden. I picked it rushed home and cooked it in butter with s & p. I was delightfully mushroomy with a lovely silky texture. Scrummilicious.

    • Hi Merry Christmas no joy with that Paul Hackett email thanks 
    • Miss Robson is the last of the old school independent vets. All the chains are have seriously hiked their prices over the last few years which now makes pet ownership only possible for the wealthy few. Even with pet insurance -( which often excludes items or has ‘deductibles’ ) it is just so much money. A visit with some medication is often £150 - £200. The vets themselves are excellent. 
    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
