Hello all,

Some before and after photos of a recent paving job for a friendly client in East Dulwich.

The brief was to improve the alley and make it easier for her daughter to roll her bike through to the back of the house - the previous pebbles were unstable and cumbersome.

Once I had removed the existing pebbles, I dug out the mud to lay MOT sub base and sand before setting the pavers.

The project needed to be completed on a budget so we utilised the original pebbles to run alongside the pavers, which adds a nice decorative effect too. We also used some small recycled slabs from another part of the garden to fit awkward spaces.

As you can see, the larger pavers are staggered - this was to disguise the fact that the edge of the alley does not run parallel with the house. This was conducted by suggestion of my client and a good idea she was happy with.

My musically talented client was very pleased with the result and it was a pleasure to work with her.

If you have a garden task you’d like some help with, feel free to message me here or WhatsApp/text/call me on 07884432021.

Many thanks!

  My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.

  Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.
