"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

    • Toad rage? Crikey, what have you done to upset the amphibians? How do you find the frogs? 😃
    • How long is a piece of string?  Depends whether you are building 'new towns' or brown field urban sites. I expect developers, planners and builders know far more than we do.  Where are you getting your information about infrastructure from ?  Your comment on new reservoirs seems more relevant to population expansion and/or climate change.
    • There was a previous thread about them about 6 months ago. Since then, they have been found guilty and fined for illegal street trading and collections in June in the City of London. https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/we-r-blighty-pleads-guilty-of-illegal-street-trading-and-collections-in-the-city/  
    • The Government has set an ambitios target to build 1.5 million new homes bu the end of this 4 year term. Possibly unachievable due to various issues in the building industry but ambitious none the less.  What they seem to have failed to plan for, which was brought home by this year's drought, is adding more inferstructure including Reservoirs, power lines and sewerage treatment centres.  Ate they setting us up for more problems in the future?
