quite right


rye lane is a splendid place, especially on a sunday afternoon

I actually quite enjoyed his style of writing, although I may not necessarily agree with some of the observations, I think its refreshing to discover how our locality is viewed by the visitor. Sorry that the text has been removed, but I guess I understand why, given some of the posts....

I wasn't sure what he meant by dull gentility.

    • If you can use it exclusively for yourself for 12 years it might become yours by default under squatters rights? Maybe whack a bench on it and plant some flowers and then a little hedge around the perimeter to keep people out? I'm not sure if any of this is legal but it might be fun finding out?
    • Hate to admit it but I'm a absolute sex machine🤩
    • Hello. Did you hear any further on this? Was there anyone at the council who was helpful to speak to? I am in a similar boat. 
    • Dear all, Bit of a random ask but in such a supportive and accepting community, I thought I'd see if anyone had time to help 🙂 I'm conducting research for my MSc Psychology dissertation, using a brief anonymous survey to explore romantic and polyamorous relationships and how/if attitudes around this interact with factors such a family history and family making. The survey should take no longer than 10-15 mins and has been approved by the University of Roehampton. I'm hoping to circulate the survey widely enough that the data gathered is representational of the diversity in modern society across various aspects that constitutes personal identity. Some of the questions are of a personal nature and others could be considered a bit 'spicy', but just to reiterate, this is an anonymous survey.
