We meet on the last Monday of the month upstairs at the Old Nun's Head for an informal tunes (not songs) session.

It is a fun way of learning by ear to play folk dance tunes from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, US, etc.

For more confident players, we take it turns to teach one new tune each session and most in the key of D or G major.

The sessions are FREE but please buy a drink at the bar.

If you can play an acoustic instrument a bit which works in those keys, come along and give it a try, and meet some like minded people too.

We are building up a repertoire, and we run through a few of the ones we already know each session.

Please visit the beginners session page on the Goose is Out website for more details or reply to this post.

  They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.

  From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s. Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two. In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats. There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post. Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded. One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.

  I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
