YAY......Brilliant. Right, I'm off to the pub for some festive cheer and a spring in my step. The Miracle of Christmas occurred....

I know it's not funny and I shouldn't laugh, and I'm sure you didn't, but :)) :)) :))


ETA: Glad it all had a happy ending, Willard.

Delighted with the outcome, a testament to persistence. And mathematics.


Sue, I imagine it wouldn't have been so funny had it not been a rental car that I was using for work. And the fact that two days later a very identifiable Hovis truck crashed into the same spot. So we let them fix it.

I think most people are nice and will do the right thing, even if it involves taking a bit of time.


It's just that we tend to hear about the ones who aren't nice and don't do the right thing.


And sometimes it's not that people are bad, it's that they are shy or in a hurry or don't want to interfere ...


Anyway, what a heartwarming start to Christmas with a story like the above :)

    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!
