Dear dentist, educator husband, three children, and Welby The Dog --


Recommended Posts

-- you were good neighbours. Thanks for the pleasures of knowing you and of watching your children grow as we all got a bit older together. I wasn't around to say good-bye in person as you moved house yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to tell you this face-to-face, and I have to use the EDF: I like you and I'll miss you.

What a lovely post, AlexK. (tu)


I hadn't realised you had already gone KatDew, although "educator husband" did tell me you were moving. My, how time whizzes by! So goodbye from me (football fanatic, overgrown lawn) and hubby too. We wish your lovely little family the very best of happiness in your new home.

see - this is what everyone says about you LM.... I dunno - clippers? a strimmer? some kind of edging tool? It's time action was taken.

Mine or LM's? If the question wasn't euphemistic, here's an answer regarding mine: Polished and bright. It's not tinned, and the other day I used it to cook down a peck and a half of plum tomatoes from the allotment. Probably the highest-copper batch of passata ever made. When I looked at what the acid in the tomatoes had done to the inside of the pan I for a moment considered tumping all that tomato work down the bog -- then decided: I'm sixty. I have to die of SOMETHING. And one serving of spag bol at a time, week by week, is probably not going to be that something. The sauce went into the freezer. Watch this space for updates, and be assured: If you come to dinner I'll give you something else.

Funny maxxi, I thought of you today as I harvested my plums ( :)) ) for jam-making. Every year I burn my pan and every year I use your (now famous amongst my friends) brilliant washing powder tip to restore it to pristine condition.


AlexK - sixty? Really? In which case continue with the acidic tomatoes!

Alex - seriously - of course you won't die but if your pan wasn't lined you will get a huuuge guts-ache (and follow-through if you know what I mean) that no amount of bravado can compensate for. Bin it. Really.


LM - I made plum jam last year - cracked a few of the stones and included those inner kernels in the mix to improve the flavour - worked (i think).

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
