Bellenden Road is nice, I can walk freely without looking-at-listening-bumping-into the people/shops who'd be in the Rye Lane area.


I'm fine with that & i'm sure i'm not missed over there.


Not looking for Shangri-La though. Just a bit of peace, and a decent coffee.

loving your work here DC.

Bellend it has always been, Bellend it will remain. Even if you were to have "street food" in Bellend it wouldn't improve. Oh, wait a minute "street food", or more commonly known as "food from market stalls", have been offered on Choumert for donkeys.

I disagree - I really like a lot of the shops on Bellenden Road, from the bookshop that has been there for yonks, to The Begging Bowl Thai restaurant. I've eaten there a few times & really enjoyed it.

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
