I think they're great too - I hope Health & Safety don't get ideas from Nutty's comments! I thought the post-modernist, renaissance approach was an awfully astute and profound socioeconomic, political, petit-bourgouise statement that juxtaposes the modern evils of technology with the antiquated.... Oh hang, on. Sorry, they're just kinda pretty! ;-)


I did think it little more than coincidence though that they had the evil, cunning and dangerous stalking wolf on the Camberwell side and the precious, delicate and defencless lambs on the East Dulwich side!

Why does everything have to be turned into postcode nonsense? Sheesh.


I was braced not to like the sculptures as I don't think the pictures linked to the thread did them justice but I saw them this week for the first time, and I love them. The metal is used in so many creative ways - viz. the overlapping scales that make up the faces vs the looping tubes that represent the curly coats of the sheep, and the whole composition is wonderfully tense.

I couldn't care less about postcodes. Nor can I answer such an age-old question. Well, by age-old, I mean since SE22 emerged from divesville about 5 years ago. Coincidentally, probably shortly after I arrived! ;-)


Sheesh, why does everyone have to get so sensitive?!

      They’ve backed away from pretending they produce their own goods recently. That claim sat at the centre of the misdirection for years. They’ve now accepted they can’t sustain it, so they’re beginning to highlight the local independent bakeries whose products they actually sell. The business is essentially a courier model running on a slim margin.

      Another sparrow hawk visor to our cherry tree at the weekend.  Our robin survived, but we may be a sparrow down.     any thoughts on bird feeders & bird baths with the current bird flu?  I try to wash out the bird bath most days when at home, but not on the 3 days in a row that I’m in the office & the bird feeders rather less regularly. Would it be better not to have at all (as my partner thinks)?

      OOOPS. My daughter just had to pay a five pound fine. I hadn't put a stamp on it. I remember wondering whether to use a  first or second class stamp,  and clearly when I posted it I still hadn't decided (but sadly didn't notice). I feel really bad for suspecting a postie might have  opened it.  Sorry posties.
