Dear Moz200,


I accept your apology. Now just try to be kind, play nicely and stop using naughty words or I shall not give you any more sausage. It is not you I do not love, just the unkind behaviour.


You are on "one" now, get to "three" and you shall find yourself on the naughty step.

So.....the Gardens. Good, bad, indifferent?


Local amenities worth venturing to nearby?


The shops on East Dulwich Road along from Goose Green for instance? Anything decent? From memory there's a pottery/cafe place, a fish and chippie, a restaurant/cafe/bar place. Any more of note?

Hmm


We used to live in the Gardens and didn't clean our windows for the very reason that the building work above resulted in their being covered in dust. When we moved out the lovely Tilts people took ?20 off our deposit for window cleaning. After a long argument on the phone they finally climbed down and let us have it back. It was a nice place to live granted but, as for "good landlords"...?

The last time we went to a lovely sausage throwing gathering in The Gardens (about 8 years ago) my daughter got chicken pox from a spotty little friend of ours. It was just before the summer holidays and no one would come near us in case their kids got it before they went on their holidays...........happy days.
Hi, Oakhurst Grove is great although rare that you can park outside your own place. lovely & quiet but really close to Northcross rd for the market, thai corner cafe. shops etc. only takes me a 12 min fast walk to the station. Tilts are ok, fixed stuff for me the day after reporting faults. welcome to ED. Best start writing the 6 presentations I have to do!

    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
