OK, so the last thread decided that we're going to do it... but I'm a bit lost trying to read through and sort out what's what, so if you'd like to come please sign up here to give me an idea of numbers and I'll get a space/table booked.


Details:


Sat 12th Dec

8pm onwards

PLOUGH PUB (near Dulwich Library)


The more the merrier!


Pippa

Is anyone with a huge bump going? I'll only get dead jealous of all your Cosmo (etc) drinking if i don't have a 'lime and soda' partner. I'd love to join you but might join you for a January one otherwise - then I can have a drink or two and let my hair down more.

Would love to come, but am driving back from Bicester late on 12th so though my heart is willing my flesh will definitely be weak. I'll raise a mug of Baileys & hot choc to you all when I'm safely home & snuggled up in front of 'Casualty' (my secret addiction), and wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

No bump ... but I'm not a great drinker and might even be driving, so don't worry.... come along!!

Around 13 (give or take) so far - anyone else?


If you don't sign up please still come along if you fancy it, it's just a casual meet up - come for a drink, have some food if you want to (I will eat before I come out as we eat early with the kids in the weekend), put some faces to names!

OK, an update... the Magnolia aren't able to accommodate us on Saturday, so I've got us a space reserved at the Plough. Bit of a random choice (hope it's OK for everyone), based purely on the fact that it's one of the few pubs I've been to recently, has quite a nice vibe without being too mad, and there's plenty of room. And also the lady I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and helpful!


We have a space (not sure if it will be a table, or maybe one of the groups of sofas) reserved for us from 8pm, under "EDF Mums" and my name - Pippa.


If you're coming along and don't know anyone feel free to PM me for my mobile number, and I'll make sure I meet you as you arrive. I'll comfortably be there for 8pm, will try to arrive a bit earlier. Feel free to invite any friends you have that fancy a night out.

Thanks Pickle, I like the vibe at the Plough, glad we're not going somewhere so loud we can't talk (great if dancing, but not so good for first time socialising)!


I too should be there from 8pm, mobile number below if anyone wants/needs to call me.

Hi Pickle,


Are you trying to reserve the room upstairs at The Mag or just an area on the ground floor? Just out of curiosity really because sometimes they let people have it if the group is large, but suspect they are busy for xmas socials.


Anyhoo, many thanks for arranging the Plough and look forward to seeing/meeting all the ED ladies (think I only know a few of you... Pickle, Fuschia, Molly!)


Best,

-C

    • Watching my cats over the years with foxes, I've found that foxes have totally ignored them. One exception was when a young fox hadn't seen my cat and found himself eye to eye with my cat at a distance of 1 metre. There was a stand off but the fox blinked first and my cat chased him out of the garden. So proud of her. I believe when foxes have attacked cats, the cat has been vulnerable  - old, young, ill wounded.
    • It's also possible that someone is hand feeding foxes and encouraging them by this to approach others. I have heard of foxes attacking young children (if only anecdotally) but not adults. They do seem to attack cats. 
    • I've noticed the foxes are very frisky at the moment, it's mating season. Perhaps it was a male fox who saw you as a danger to his vixen and wanted to see you off.
    • I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away.   Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible.    When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her.  if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!
