You couldn’t see your hand in front of your face. It looked like something from a Sherlock Holmes novel. Fog. Everywhere. Of course, as Mrs Bugle pointed out; maybe it looks like this every morning, but we never get up this early! Anyway, send me your photos of Blackheath in a Victorian fug.

Chapters All Day Dining
Still haven’t made it into the new version of Chapter Two, now called Chapters All Day Dining. It looks very nice from the outside, and the menu looks… well, er, cheaper! Which I guess is good news… Is this is a credit crunch decision? Have they dropped the quality and gone down market? It doesn’t [...]

Say Aaaargh
This has always puzzled me… It sits outside the dentists in Blackheath. You can’t really tell from the terrible photo (yes, one of mine, how did you guess), but he really looks like he’s in pain. I guess it depicts the patient before treatment, rather than after, otherwise they wouldn’t get many takers?
Having said that, [...]

Station being painted… Again
The station again appears to be getting a lick of paint. There didn’t actually seem to be much activity when I struggled past with my suitcase (bugles are going away for a week), but maybe they were on their lunch break or something.
It really does need cleaning up though. Both outside and in are [...]

Mysterious messages
UPDATE UPDATE: The cache is back – perhaps it never left?
UPDATE: The cache has been pinched – so don’t go looking for it right now. I’ll replace it soon!
The Blackheath Bugle Geocache has been a great success, except for this cryptic report:
Found the cache easily enough and it’s good to be able to [...]

I’m sure I heard an owl last night… Am I going mad, or does Blackheath have owls?

Spare Saturday Afternoon?
If you’re not busy on Saturday, there will be a team of volunteers getting together in the station car park at 2.30pm. It’s organized by The Blackheath Society, which sounds very posh, but I don’t think you have to subscribe to join in… And I don’t think you have to be a member [...]

Blackheath Geocache
UPDATE UPDATE: It is back! So hunt away! See here for more info.

So this may look like a tube of vitamin pills, but is actually a secret stash of treasure, hidden somewhere [...]

The Umbrella People
To the couple waiting for the 7:12 to Charing Cross at Blackheath Station… It had been raining, and it was really windy…
They threw their umbrella on to the grass verge, because it had turned inside out. No need to keep it with them, or find a waste bin.
I’ve seen the people who give up their [...]

Spire of St. Michael’s Church Blown Down
Wonderful pen and ink drawing found at londonancestor.com, this was the result of a storm in October 1881. It is from the Illustrated London News. There’s something about these scratchy illustrations – they seem to have a lot of character. I suppose if every one of the images found in today’s papers [...]
