"No one" & "Life" being key words here ?

Oh god now & sorry Santerme..( can't you come "home" ) I feel so guilty , even decadent......."Has the plague had many round your way.."


I mean how do you go on knowing everything you say "oh loved popping out for ten minutes into town ...blah blah met so & so...nipped into lah lah..." cuts into the heart as Santerme claws at the windows of his Dorchester rectory....8 whole miles from anywhere & probably cosetting the yellowed copy of The South london Press in the cat litter tray...."You made me do it..you.."


And I'm talking about my poncey choice of delectable curry houses.......Sozza Santerme ...but you made the ill choice of Porchester/Dorchester so get on with it...


I will not allow any long distance guilt bombs to ruin my curry, it was excellent.

It is true life moves at a temperate pace here....


However to assuage my need for a reminder of urbanite living, I am going to brave the Dorchester Carnival crowds (it can be tough out there), find somewhere to park and indulge in a Chinese buffet lunch.


Then I will, because it is a beautiful day, take a leisurely 20 minute drive to Abbotsbury watch the signets hatching and end up at either Chesil Beach, or West Bay reading a good novel.


Hardy country has it's little compensations.

Santerme:


Thursday: History Museum, Kensington, Kensington Park Gardens, Chelsea, Brixton.

Today: North or South Downs in West Sussex.

Monday: Beautiful local 300 acre meadows complete with Nature Reserve, gorgeous Lake and waterfalls and 50 different breeds of dogs.

Tuesday: Hampstead ( including "Heath" )...


Sun/Mon/Tues Weather permitting.


Every area has its compensations, but from half-a-mile out on the edge of London, I honesty feel its the ideal base for returning to the heart of London in 20-odd minutes, going into the heart of the Country in 20-odd minutes and enjoying the tranquillity of The Suburbs ( where most lights are out by 10.30 latest during the week)...

Well I have got my just desserts today, it's my youngest boys 5th birthday.....which is nice in it's self


We started planning a picnic in the park for a dozen people or so , well that was the plan & it worked very well last year.

Another friend who shares the same birthday suggested we double up the party ...Great idea......then another, so now we have a triple picnic party ( thats 40 odd kids )and around 30 adults....JOY...................OH BLO*DY YEAH



I know, you feel for me don't you..........really.


I do feel large measures coming on by 4.00pm



Grr

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
