Have a look at the good things to see in London thread and pick some. Or go to your nearest train station, buy a ticket, get the next train that comes in (unless it's your usual commuter train) and get off wherever you fancy and just go for a wonder and explore. Take a book and walk to a nice pub or cafe. Have lots of lie ins. Visit someone you haven't seen for a while. Do some DIY or gardening. Erm i can't think of any more, just do what takes your fancy at the time. Have a good week.

Go to World's End, walk along the river and around Chelsea Harbour, then get a number 11 all the way to Liverpool Street Station which takes you past a lot of touristy London, but then walk around the City, visit the Guildhall, go to St Paul's and climb up the Monument. Take a bus or DLR to Isle of Dogs and enjoy a walk around there and the City Farms all over the place. Get the tide times and walk along the River. Visit Kew Gardens. Do the Fullers Brewery Tour. Have a drink in a pub on the Strand on the Green. Walk around Green Park and St James's Park. Go to some fringe theatre. Go to Battersea and look at the power station close up. Look at the views from Blackheath Park. Walk around the Dome's perimeter and see the wildlife being encouraged on to the shores of the Thames by some good design within the river walls there. Take a river cruise. Ohhhhhhhh it's what I do!

Book some cookery/wine tasting/piano/riding/race track driving/hot air ballooning/whatever blows your hair back lessons and learn that new thing you've always thought you'd enjoy. Then book a personal shopper and a haircut and reveal the sexy new you just in time to meet Daizie at the EDF drinks.

A personal shopper is someone who takes you clothes shopping and produces a fabulous and groovy new you by dressing you in a fabulous and groovy way. Depending on the shopper of course. They might actually produce a troll in baggy knickers but that's not usually the look they go for.


Kind of Trinny and Susannah but, well, nice.

      I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.

      Gardening tips for February

      By Gardenman · Posted

      Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel

      Excellent Carpenter Recommendation - Greg

      By Laura AC · Posted

      Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
