Pugwash

Good place for housing.

Cold meze is great and so is grilled halloumi. I always have the fish - hubby had the chicken on first visit, but fish on the second visit. Does anyone know if they have children's menu or would do a small plate for under 12s?

I am wary about shopping somewhere which does not clearly show prices.

Pricey - did not go to Megan's due to price. Love Dulwich and Chen are better value.

can you erect a fence? Or a note -; You have been caught on camera - theft is a criminal offence. If this continues Police will be notified.

Looked up the science holiday clubs in London as mentioned by Angelina. There were none south of the river- most of them in Kensington area. Some had a price of £242 per day (for 5 hours), Also looked to see if there was anything in the Worthing area which we could pay for in the future,

Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had to work 2 days (INSET Days) one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.

Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park), Agree it is connected to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered,

Also going t o be road works in Etherow Street for 2 weeks mid August subject to TFL agreeing to move (temporary) the 40 bus stand. Also parking restrictions for residents.

If I remember correctly, the responsibility for the traffic lights may rest with TFL. The long standing debate over the last 10 plus years re this junction, was that TFL had refused both Southwark Councillors and MPs request to add a pedestrian phase to the lights. I also vaguely remember many years ago, the newly installed lights at CP Rd and ED Road were delayed by TFL for weeks. They were there but not switched on.

A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.

At the time of posting previously, we had no idea of the dates we would be having the children. The maths place - you pay for a course of lessons . The coding session would be good but you need to book well in advance. Also grandson has been doing coding since 6 years old. He now has a 'mentoring role' at his primary school as his knowledge of this subject is years above his chronological age. Dates are still up in the air as their father is trying to juggle leave from a new job in the north of the country.

What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
