I hope you aren't talking about the music at the Dulwich Festival Fair on Goose Green? We take pride in booking good musicians.

There is now a notice on the door saying there is new management and a change of name.

I agree it's a great magazine for kids. Rendel, you could ask the girl's parent/s for suggestions? Otherwise you could duplicate something she has already been given?

  8. Has Duck Egg closed? It's name is no longer above the front, and it hasn't seemed to be open during its usual opening hours lately. If so, does anybody know what is replacing it? There is a For Sale sign up, but I'm not sure if that is for the shop or whatever is above it.

  10. Hydrangeas don't need acid soil. They just have different colour flowers depending on the soil type, so far as I know. ETA: http://www.bhg.com/gardening/trees-shrubs-vines/shrubs/how-to-get-blue-hydrangeas/
  11. No, in fact I thought it had been quieter than usual!
  12. intexasatthe moment Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Isn't clay alkaline ? > Interesting, because I'd always thought clay was acid but I've just looked it up and usually it isn't. Now I'm confused, because Dulwich Park for example has rhododendrons and azaleas, and I know other places round here which have camellias growing straight into the soil, and to the best of my knowledge all of those need acid soil. My brain hurts now :))

I'm surprised your soil is alkaline? Have you done a soil test?
  15. Too much information about what happens to drones 😀
  16. There is currently no clear scientific evidence that glyphosate is harmful when used in the sort of amounts and concentrations that are used in horticulture/agriculture. So far as I am aware, that is why it is not banned.

Well, others do, and it was a relevant comment. If all you've got to do is gratuitously insult others on here, don't you think it's you who needs to get a life?
  18. So do I, but "greatest"is not a word I would apply to anything relating to Lewis.
  19. The super powerful version is exorbitantly expensive 😀

  21. They are a nightmare, and easily confused with foxglove seedlings when small (until you try to get them out). Agree, pick off the flowers so they can't seed (shame, as the flowers are very pretty). If you are really desperate Roundup (contains glyphosate, a systemic weedkiller which carries the glyphosate through the plant and kills them from the roots up) would probably work. It takes a while to see results as the leaves die last. But you have to do it on a day with no wind (or forecast rain) and shield other plants very carefully for obvious reasons, so it may not be practicable. Also you may not want to use chemicals. Now - bluebells ......

I don't recall ever having discussed this with you, Dulwich Fox, so I have no idea how you could possibly know whether it was "popular" with us or not. ETA: There are a lot of factors to take into account in siting the stage, as I imagine there are in planning the layout of the whole fair. Clearly health and safety are of major importance,which is why the council inspects the site and stage before the fair opens to the public. Obviously we and the fair organisers will be looking at how things went this year and whether there are things which need to be changed or fine tuned (pun not intentional :) ) for next year. On a wider issue, we are delighted that the fair was so well attended. My personal view is that moving it to a larger place would risk completely ruining the cosy community feel, plus its present location is very convenient and easy for people to get to. And the festival has another fair coming up in Dulwich Park, so it's hard to see where else the Dulwich Festival Fair could be held and still be in Dulwich

In fact I have no idea why people weren't sitting there! I didn't have time to look at all the food stalls, but I had a delicious Pad Thai for six pounds, which I thought was excellent value. Thanks to those above who thanked us for the music :) ETA: And thanks to the musicians, all of whom gave their time for free.
  25. If someone says hesitantly that they are looking for shoes in a bin, is it not possible that rather than having criminal intent they may have mental health issues?
