    It’s cold and dark out there – come on in and join Story Jam’s Alys Torrance for a story upstairs in a cosy pub Alys has a story for you - a good juicy one to give you a midweek boost to get you through the rest of the week. It's a short night - stroll round, listen to a story and you'll be back for a good night's sleep. Feed your soul, light up your imagination, and give your heart a lift. February's ancient Norse tale mixes up desire and laughter, trickery and courage. It's an elemental story full of icy mountains, clear air, leaping fire and sea spray. And toes. We invite you to come along to the Palmerston, grab a drink and slip out of the everyday for an hour or so. Tickets and more info: https://tinyurl.com/Story-Jam

    January blues? Alys Torrance has just one story for you, a good juicy one to give you a midweek boost to get you through the rest of the week. January's old slavic tale is perfect for a dark night. It's guaranteed to feed your soul, warm your heart and spice up your imagination. Come along to the Palmerston on Lordship Lane, grab a drink and slip out of the everyday for an hour or so. Tickets and more details But here's a bit about the story you'll hear: Vasilisa the Brave and Baba Yaga "Fetch me fire!" they say. But where to find it? No one can survive the impossible demands of a cunning, metal-toothed, flying fiend with a taste for human flesh, can they? Burning skulls, houses that stray, fearsome dinners and hands with no body - the night is full of dangers and wonders, isn't it? Baba Yaga is all about the questions. Be very careful how you answer them. You life depends on it. "You're never less than entirely enraptured" - View From The Gods
  4. I've been thinking about the notice boards for while, so I was really interested to read these posts. They seem like such a potentially great and simple community resource, I'd be sorry to see them go. It's almost inevitable they'll be vandalised if they're not kept up to date, I suppose. I'm going to drop a line to our councillors and see if anything comes of it.
  5. It's always a risk when you use a bike, that some bugger will find a way to nick it. I don't have the option of storing mine indoors - it either goes up steep narrow stairs, through the flat then down steep and slippery stairs out the back, or storage needs to be on the street. For myself, I'm still prepared to at least approach the council, and use the best locks that I can afford. Your message is a good reminder to double lock and cover your bike. At the very least, a request will underline to Southwark that there are plenty of people who want to use their bikes, and if nothing else, it supports their aim of making the roads more bike-friendly. And you never know, Whateley Road might get another hangar - nothing ventured, nothing gained.
  6. Would anyone else like another Cyclehoop hangar on Whateley Road? Either because you would use it (we're in a first floor flat with narrow stairs - heave-ho) or because you would simply support the idea of one? I know of two more people already in need of the storage, but Southwark are more likely to act if there is strong support from those around us. I'm happy to fill out the form and contact the council on our behalf. I like a deadline, so I'm going to send a form in the first week of October. Please send me a message if this would help you, and spread the word. Here's a link to some info: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/cycle-parking-guide/
  7. Thank you, again. I'm busy sending out feelers, based on your recommendations. All ideas gratefully accepted.
  8. Your memory is spot on, Sue. Thanks. That's enormously helpful.
  9. The thought of my mother morris dancing is distressingly hilarious. I think a good english ceilidh should be the right balance of silly and brilliant.
  10. Thank you all. Having had a look at these bands websites, I think we're looking for something more English and preferably more wild. My fault for saying Ceilidh rather than Country Dance. Any ideas?
  11. We're looking for a barn dance or ceilidh band to gallop around to at our wedding in September. We're trying to do everything as locally as possible. Can anyone recommend one?
