Had friend from Plymouth staying over the weekend and spent Saturday like this:


Lunch at The Dog (one bottle of wine) - EDT (2nd bottle of wine) - Home to change - Magdala - Franklins - Liquorice - Inside 72 - The Drum (met Jah Lush, apologies for being drunk) - EDT (again) - The Bishop - Home


Who needs to go anywhere else in London?! My friend loved it. Good old East Dulwich.

Good work Georgia


Sometimes I think I get a bit too proud of this place and then a frind comes to visit, something similar happens and they spend all of Sunday raving about the place. Happened more than once


And not one single place has a toilet attendant which is a big improvement on most other places in London I might add (to introduce a bugbear of mine)

Ah yes the Black Cherry - we did miss a few places out but yes their cocktails are good but not sure we could have managed many of those by then.


Also hate toilet attendants - I expect to be able to wipe my hands after washing them without feeling like I have to pay for the priveledge...

A while back I went to meet a friend of mine at the ED station and as he hadn?t been to the area for a while we were going to pop into all the bars between the station and my house for a swift half. We decided they had better be halves as I live up near the library so there are quite a lot of pubs on the way.


The general idea was: The Vale, EDT, Black Cherry, Bishop, the Lord Palmeston, The Uplands, The Crystal Palace Tavern, Franklins, The Magdala and then perhaps even into the Plough if we felt brave enough.


The tone for the day was set at The Vale when after asking my mate for a half of weak larger I was presented with a full pint of Stella, brimming with potential trouble.


Tequila got involved at the Bishop.


It was still mid-afternoon.


We soldiered on. There was a lot of laughing involved as I recall.


We completely lost each other en route from the CPT to Franklins. This was probably a good thing. By this stage the two of us trying to enter Franklins through that ridiculously tight entrance packed with its shopping bag draped push-chairs would probably have ended up in some kind of, slapstick, Peter Sellers type accident, spilling babies, lattes and organic welsh rarebit on ciabatta all over the place.


Anyway we randomly found each other again at Caf? El Paso. Something to do with great/drunk minds thinking alike. Or just the irresistible draw of burritos to the inebriated stomach.


There is something about Mexican food that sobers you up especially if you load it with chilli. After a meal which included beers and tequila we were fixed up good and proper enough to head to The Magdala for a few before calling it a night.


Morals of the story:

Pub crawls in East Dulwich are fun.

Tequila in the afternoon doesn?t necessarily kill you.

Don?t go to Franklins if you are too smashed.

Mexican food is good for you!

when i was a poor staff nurse my crawl used to start at the harvester for the cheap tea-time specials for a bit of lining and then it was all down hill from there.literally.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
