O yes Sue & colville09, I was hoping it was Merlina the Tower's missing raven and did mention it to Chris Scaife - but The Ravenmaster (goodness I long for a title like that) seems certain she's crossed the rainbow bridge. I'd love to get a photo.

Absolutely possible - we've enough woodland locally to support Nuthatches; I've definitely seen Tree Creepers in the local woods we really do have astonishing biodiversity for so close to the centre London.

Wells Park - just over the hill from Dulwich Woods has some amazing wildlife. Saw a Merlin take a pidgeon last spring and last week a goldcrest nibbling someone's Camelia's on the edge of the park. I know many of the EDF people walk/run in that park and if you're up there of all things a solitary Raven (!) has been there for the past three weeks or so. If anyone gets pictures of that - gold star that snapper. We've an amazing area for Wildlife. PS The Sydenham Panther did exist - my husband saw it in Dulwich Woods walking very early one morning with our two huge Dobermann... who whined and tried to hide behind my husband's legs!

Mum died last year and we've just managed to sell her bungalow. Every month since December I've done the 400 mile round trip because the purchaser said they were going to complete.. cut to last week when we finally DID Exchange and beggar me! Went in to check all was in order to Complete and... we've had a slow leak from the boiler which has wrecked the boiler, brought the lounge ceiling down etc. etc. The Purchaser is supposed to move in on Wednesday but we've just discovered the 1950's hidden floor tiles and ceiling contains white asbestos.... My insurance will (hopefully) make good on the remedial work (save high value items and now boiler ofc!) But... it wouldn't be safe for the new couple to move in as yet. As goodwill I'll pay for new boiler and make sure remedial work with all relevant certificates done for new owners but... does anyone know who is liable for sorting out alternative accommodation for the buyers until property is fixed? My personal cost to fix this is already at 3K and I really can't afford to put them up and pay for their move. Any insight or experience greatly appreciated :D I went for the conveyancing house route given it should have been the simplest sale and they really don't know now what do do .... anyone has a similar experience?

Hi Everyone! Have you a child in your family with Diabetes? Would you be interested in forming our own local support group? There are several great inter-webby forums but nothing beats meeting and sharing experiences, advice, and support from other famillies in the same or similiar situation. It would of huge benefit for the children too to meet other children locally coping with diabetes and doing something fun!:))

Hi EDF! My 12 yr old has been in and out of hospital and consequently needs someone to help rebuild their skills in English and Maths for Common Entrance. Any recommendations? Many thanks
