Hello All you lovely Forum people,


I meet Bill and Sarah yesterday; the oweners of the 2 Eco builds in ED, at the Grand Designs Excel London. I had a chat to them about the excitment previously whipped up on this very site. They knew of 'us' and said that they couldn't believe how many of us wanted to go down for a tour.


I have it first hand that they WILL be running a tour of the two houses on Landells Road, just as soon as they get properly settled in and have the rest of their family and friends round!! Yipeee!!!!Just keep this between us lot on the forum because it doesn't extend to the rest of the country!! We should feel very priveledged.


Grand Designs were running a competetion yesterday for someone to WIN a trip round the house, but all ED Forum go-ers will be treated to this regardless of the competition!! more yipee!!


The couple both said that they were very touched by all the nice things said about them and their houses on the forum.


So I guess we watch this space for Talisman to annouce when we can all toop round to have a butchers.


Just don't forget the champagne!!!


(Excuse the over use of exclamation marks!!)

Well I'm disappointed that so many on the forum expressed a wish to have a gander round the two houses....and now no one seems interested?


I understand Keef, I too wouldn't mind a free jaunt to the islands in the Indian Ocean if it was on offer, but this 'prize' was at the Grand Designs expo yesterday, so obviously not a free holiday in sight.


Although a night out on the tiles with Kevin McCloud wouldn't be a bad offer! (sorry Mr MW74!)

dear forumers - we are still building HOUSE B and are also very manic with the media circus so bear with us awhile longer. Nice to meet some of you at the Grand Designs Live Show over the weekend - thanks for your feedback, hope you enjoyed the seminars. We will be making "tour" plans for the EDF shortly (both mine and Sarah's family have still not been invited to visit yet so you can tell how owerwhelmed we are by suppliers, business visitors, photographers, architects, etc!) FYI, we will be putting the second house up for sale v shortly with local estate agents Harvey Wheeler, so watch their window/website for full details, pics, plans and the PRICE. Keep in touch, regards: Talisman

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
