Bizarrely I got an email from Crown and Greyhound today (showing Dulwich Village address) reminding me to book a table for Mothers Day (link goes to page saying not taking bookings), telling me brunch is served every Sat from 12 March and about a beer festival in April.


Their CRM engine might need tweaking

I had a peek around the back where a dumper truck has churned up the garden and the building work is continuing apace. But the garden! The cursed fence is down and the whole garden is revealed once more in all its hugeness, unseen for many a year.


We can but hope that it is reopened in its entirety as and when, and that some tosspot doesn't put BBQs, climbing frames, sandpits and plastic Wendy houses all over it.

I'm hoping for Farrow & Ball potting sheds, with retro gardening tools screwed to the wall


There's one test of a new place. You stand in the door, take a breath and say to yourself "In laws" and if yours come to mind all smelling of perfume and wearing wrap around 50% rayon knitwear shawls from John Lewis at Bluewater, then it's lost, lost to those who know nothing of life in a City


And we move on, towards chips in mini buckets and breaded fish on wooden boards


"No we're paying, it's our treat" as you park your adult self and be the kids one more time


*sigh*

    • Hey are these two keys with no keyring? I lost them a while back so not sure if they will be the same!
    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals.

    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
