Looking out the window right one might think it could be summer out there.. the sun is shining and the birds are flying around the dome..


It has made me excited for summer!! Did we talk about having a summer bbq / picnic (SM I know you have been scorned by the picnic organising before)? Cant wait to do another pub crawl in the sun and heat with my flip flops on (or thongs as they are called where I am from).. >:D< :)-D


What are your plans for summer? Any hols planned? In all of this bleakness lets focus on something fab.. I have no passport due the home office STILL having it 3 months down the line so not sure where we will go but I am hoping to get to Greece & Australia (possibly)..


:)):)):)):))

I am hoping for a trip to Australia. However I have based this on very tenuous info.


An Australian friend of mine who lives in Sydney just asked me for my address. I know he and his good lady got engaged a couple of months ago, so I am hoping that he wants my address to send me a wedding invitation.


If this is not the case and he wants my address to send me baby photos I will be very disappointed, cross him off the Christmas card list, and have to go somewhere very exotic instead.*

Careful, Rosie.

They're Australian.

Before you know it, there's a knock on your door, the backpacks are blocking the hallway and they're sleeping on your lounge floor for six weeks - gratis.

I'm a very very lucky girl and have only just returned from an extended stay on the West Coast (LA / Santa Barbara / Carmel / San Francisco). It's winter there. Basically, what this means is that sometimes you need to put a sweater on over your T-shirt. They think it's cold. They need to come to ED to find out about cold. Bless.


I was gone so long that I desperately started to miss ED. I wanted a monty minor and a decent brand of gin. The first day back I skipped down Lordship Lane like a two year old. Then I ran home and put on a warm vest.


I'm looking for somewhere warm(ish) to go March/April. I'm avoiding anywhere that has the Euro. Dubai sounds good - I'll be watching this thread for holiday ideas.

Funnily enough I was talking about this earlier, I lived in Spain for 2006 and went travelling in 2005 and with the quidlets still being under 20p I'm still not bothered about 'hot abroad' (miss skiing though). So a nice warm english summer in my back garden with and EDF recommended book and my kids/missus ferrying out Stellas sounds bliss...

Bloody Hell it was cold today! Did I spot a flurry of snow down High Holborn? Its MONTHS until my caravan holiday to Weymouth.


I tried to get myself in the Med-mood by having tapas for lunch, but the way the wind whistled under the door caused the tortilla slice to go cold and rubbery.


Will this grey weather and appaling economic news EVER end? I fear not.


:))

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
