Brixton chitter-chatter & news Apr 2012

[Onket]

I can now get REAL, DECENT draught cyder (my favourite, in fact, Stowford Press) 2 mins from my house. The Hand In Hand havejust got it in. Now that they've got Sharp's Doom Bar,

An excellent cider and an excellent choice of ale there.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

Yeah, was a nice little downpour and I looked out over central London and it looked lovely over there

Only joking. Think it's a long time though since I've been to the park this time of year

It's stunning with all the blossoms - well worth a visit.

One of the dogs I was walking today was VERY interested in those horses.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

massive cracks of thunder and HUGE rain drops....

 

[quimcunx]

I jumped.

 

[Orang Utan]

Shit, I need to leave the house soon, to feed cats in 'Tulse Hill'. It's not bike weather is it?

 

[ajdown]

That was heavy rain, sleet, bright sunshine and a big ass clap of thunder all in one go. Most bizarre. Clear now though.

By the way, top of Brixton Hill by New Park Road has roadworks one lane either way if anyone's heading that way.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

but no thunderstorm has appeared....it's sunny again!

 

[editor]

Proper April shower, that.

Of course. Russ is far too sensible. Horses are nearly as interesting as muddy puddles for that there Acorn, it seems.

 

[Badgers]

Edible bus stop?
