Hopefully by the time the paintbrushes are out they'll have realised what an absolutely bloody awful name they've come up with.

I went there on Saturday. It seems creamier than Oddonos which may be more authentically Italian (I don?t know) but really it is a matter of personal taste if you prefer it.


I live much closer to Oddonos so won?t be going out of my way to go to Fire and Ice but if I fancy some gelato after lunch or dinner at the Flying Pig, I will definitely go back.


They should do a nice trade near the playground and its nice to see more businesses opening up. I wish them well.

They had (maybe still have) a notice on their door on Friday night which I didn't thoroughly read as it was quite long, but I believe the name is part of a quotation from Blake, or is related to Blake in some way.


As they are just round the corner from the Blake mural, I actually think the name is quite appropriate, if that is why they have chosen it :)

Tried Fabulous Ice fire last week and got hooked. Delicious flavours, and love their own recipie. Of course it's personal tastes but I prefer it to Oddono. It would be good to have different portion sizes (though 3 flavours for ?2.50 seems good value given the portion sizes) - and yes, I have suggested it to them, too.
A pilates studio has taken over the old French cafe site...couldn't see another cafe and restaurant opening there tbh. But there seems to be something opening up near the cemetery end of forest hill road, go past on my bike every day and have been watching the builders at work, front painted and planters outside where I guess there'll be seating.

I like Le Chandelier and it would be a shame if it were to close, but must admit, it never seems that busy whenever I've visited.

    • That was very kind of you to take the cat to the vet. Did the car not stop?
    • This is a bit outside our area, but I'm posting in case .... Last night (Sat.20 Dec), around 10.30, we saw a cat hit by a car in St Norbert Road, SE4.  We took him to the out of hours vet in Beckenham, where they confirmed that he had died.  They will see if he is microchipped, and contact the owner if so.  They were very kind.   He was a lovely cat, grey and white.  He must have died very quickly.  So sorry to be the bearer of bad news 😞 The vet is Medivet in Beckenham, tel: 0208 650 2003.
    • Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable  - old, young, ill wounded.
    • It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats.
