Dear Maria Welcome to London. I have 2 vintage coats, one that needs re-lining and some replacement buttons (one lost and no spares). The other which is lined, but the thread holding the lining together is fragile and breaking. I think the existing lining needs re-sewing with new thread. It has quite a few panels of material. Would you be interested. I can bring the coats to you either one evening or at the weekend. Kind regards Juliet Juliet Sturridge 07834488159

I would like to add my name to the long list of recommendations for Saied of Dulwich Eco Gardening. He is most definitely charming, hardworking, and very knowledgable about his trade. My garden is only 120 feet long and he has spent the week transforming it from an overgrown mess, brought in the light to existing plants, dug and fed the earth and given the whole thing a chance for next spring and me the opportunity to take on my garden and get results. He will be back and I am very grateful. Juliet

Anyone can buy flowers at Covent Garden Market, the bunches tend to be bigger, that's all. Amazing choice.

Get a dog and take it for a walk. Everyone says good morning to you in Telegraph Hill Park, Nunhead Cemetery, Peckham Rye, and Dulwich Park. And a lot more besides given half the chance.

I think it looks fab, maybe they have a second home for quieter Saturday mornings.

I am also interested and would love to get involved. Can cook, count and solve business problems. Petrified of not finishing DIY projects, so they don't get started.

Dear Wanhope Go and look in Nunhead, Brockley, Ladywell, still easy to be part of ED, green and leafy, not always so pricey.
