Los Angeles. There are great museums are really terrific alternative theatre scene, lots of cheap indie art and performance events, great food, funky beaches and fun beaches and great parks and hills to climb. The traffic can be awful (same as London but you have to drive all the time so you feel it more). Also, huge swathes of the city are really ugly (American strip mall hideousness) but the nice pockets are really pretty and it?s a young city full of energy.

"And is spain warm enough in winter?"


Depends when, where, and warm enough for what. There isn't anywhere in mainland Spain that is reliably warm enough in January and February to go to the beach and swim in the sea, for example, but most of Spain is warm enough to feel like you have 'escaped winter'.


On the general question, again it depends on how warm you want and whether you want town/city, countryside, beach. If you want proper hot weather you need to go tropical or southern hemisphere (unless you like deserts), and if it was me I'd probably go to SE Asia, but that's largely because I've been going there every winter for the last 15 years or so. For somewhere that will be nice and warm Southern California is a good shout, but I'd go San Diego over LA. In Europe I'd either go to Spain (Barcelona or Girona) or Sicily.

      Dancersize or other middle aged womens' exercise groups

      Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors.

      Aroma Lab

      By apocalypsedreams · Posted

      I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!

      Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter.

      Franklins is being sold

      By Sue · Posted

      So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
