Sweet decay rises from the fallen apples that lie condemned under your hammock, mingling with the dying fall of a neighbour's lawn mower, invading your dreams.


The wine glass at your side contains one small fly, scrambling for safety up the sticky cliff-face. The sun's warmth fights a losing battle with the overhanging chestnut tree and you shiver involuntarily, but only once.


The golden-faced youth of your dream turns into a pock-marked veteran, his complexion bruised and pitted. You realise you are staring at your reflection.

Was it?


It wasn't.


The image of the youth turning into an old man is conjured, within the dream, by the smell and sounds of a late summer's evening. The author inexpertly attempts to portray the experience one can have in a dream of watching one's own life.


Give the author a break, he is in a meeting, "taking notes".

Where's our resident Poet Maxie now?


Still living the dream?


Having a dream within a dream?


Arise from your lazy slumber oh! ever so "polite and funny" one.


Its nearly 5.30AM and there's a big,wide World out there to explore, so what are you doing now?


Dreaming The Dream?


Plenty of time to sleep and dream when you're dead Gerontius....B)

It is glorious weather in the South West, unbroken blue sky and set fair for the village cricket this afternoon.


I am torn between a lazy day with a good book and the sound of leather on willow or a trip to West Bay for a fish and chips, this late in the season the beach will be locals only.

    • Nasty piece of work. Targets locations with a healthy independent presence and farmers’ markets; typical vampire capitalism. Great supporter of a Brexit too. All good reasons to go elsewhere, preferably small independent., 
    • Hi, oglander , Congratulations on your soon-to-arrive little lion - how exciting! It's always lovely to hear someone taking the adoption route (shelters are having a major crisis at the moment!). I've been in business for 15 years & can say with certainty that most cat owners in Dulwich have catflaps so, not only are they easy to have installed, but you shouldn't find yourself short of helping hands on these local forums. A catflap is a brilliant way to keep your little lion safely in overnight as well as generally keeping track of their comings & goings. I'd be happy to walk you through the set up once you've chosen your model (SureFlap & PetSafe are two popular brands). I'm sure the rescue has already advised, but just in case they haven't, it'll be very important to keep your newly adopted cat housebound for the first 2 weeks to familiarise themselves with their new home. Once they've scent-mapped the house, you can gradually begin letting them out to explore & scent-map the garden. Exciting times! x
    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967
