Leave me out of it. I never kick people when they are enjoying food.

This coffee shop makes me happy. I have a conversation with the Italian owner every morning when I get a coffee and she's sweet. It's so much nicer than the chain shops; at La Scala they genuinely value each customer. It's Birchall tea that they serve which I hadn't had before. Hope they do well.

Oh, yes, almond horse shoes from Blackbird, love them too.


However, just a quick word on La Scala. They are lovely people running it, the coffee is great, and, they don't take the mickey when it comes to pricing. I recently checked out Cafe G (lovely space, great coffee) and they get their croissants and pastries from the same North London bakery as La Scala. Can't remember the exact difference but think Cafe G charge around a quid more for the almond croissant, for example. Make of it what you will, just thought I'd let you know.

I have my Aussie SIL (from Melbourne) staying with me at the moment. Every morning she goes down to Boulangerie jade and has a coffee there. Her take on the situation is that London has improved massively over the last few years (coffee wise), and some places are great and others are not. One odd thing she has mentioned though, is that frequently she has to send coffee back in Melbourne because it's a bit lukewarm.

Just want to sing the praises of the new coffee place on Grove Vale. The coffee and cakes are delicious, lots of lovely lunch options and really friendly staff. Much nicer than the rival chain across the road! Their croissants and pan au chocolats are yummy too.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.

      Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.

      Dog Kennel Hill School to change name

      By Vik · Posted

      From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!

      if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
