RE: Thanks for that brilliantly detailed reminiscence

Hi Pauly.... Sorry but my brain's a little befuddled about exact dates. However, I can tell you that it would have bee arounf the period 1970-1971-ish to around 1976-77ish? During this period I was also in a local (Dover) band myself: "Father Luke"...

Is there not a Cafe Belge in Covent Garden?

I've been to something like that there, long time ago now, 1996 or so!I am a vegan, but very rarely eat at the greengrocers.Ah Belgo that's what I'm thinking of, must be very similar....

Fierce storm last night here

Masses of thunder and lightning, quite close by, made the building shake once. I would not be surprised to hear somewhere near by was struck / damaged. Did not hear a lot of rain, but I can see the ground is damp... The pool table is still on the fro...

There goes the neighbourhood

It's like living in Fareham again! There's a piece of furniture been dumped in our front garden overnight! OK, it's a better class of furniture, not a rusty broken washing machine or a wee-stained mattress or anything. And, OK, hands up, it was me th...

Kingsnorth Gardens

The flat I went to see in Kingsnorth Gardens has dropped it's asking price... that was a good flat, in a good location, with almost enough room if we took the smallest room as a bedroom... just read my original diagnosis again and maybe I'm looking i...

Grimston Gardens

The flat in Grimston Gardens isn't right for us, it's a good size, but it needs work, firstly to sort out the damp in the basement (which the vendors are offering a discount for) and also to put in central heating etc... I'm sure it'll be a good one ...
