As I walked up to this piece of stonework on the heath, I mistakenly thought that it could be a sundial. When I was close enough, I realised that what I had believed to be the gnomon of the sundial (yes I did have to look that word up), was actually a plastic straw [...]

Farmers Market tips
Mrs Bugle’s credit friendly, handy tip sheet detailing what to buy where, but with scribbled handwriting replaced! (Seasonal mileage may vary).

Photos and videos from the Pancake race
Video posted by Henry, earlier today.. My video finally finished uploading to Vimeo, but took ages due to the piece of damp string we use as an internet connection.

Don’t forget the pancake race!
The weather is a bit grey, but there seem to be loads of people at the Farmers Market, and lots of pancakes to be both eaten and raced! It starts at 12:20, and they can supply the frying pans… (Although I heard a vicious rumour at the bread shop that they were giving out [...]

Credit Crunch?
This new spa shop has just opened up next to Costa Coffee… Not sure how long the economy can sustain another expensive looking hair salon, but it looked very nicely designed. Still a shame about the Bang & Olufsen shop though.

The Station Squirrel
“These commuters are nuts”, and other obvious humour… I guess these videos must be by the same person who took this photo.
Don’t forget that The Blackheath Society holds regular events to tidy up the green areas around Blackheath Station. The next one isn’t scheduled yet according to their website, but I’m [...]

Bomb damage maps of Blackheath
This map shows a colour-coded key explaining the severity of bomb damage in London after the WW2 bombings. They are from the London Metropolitan Archives, and were photographed by Flickr user Yersinia. There is also a key to the wider maps showing all of London here.
However, it seems an alternative path of destruction is being [...]

Mrs Bugle now slightly more “Mrs”
I proposed to Mrs Bugle on the Meridian line at Greenwich Observatory yesterday. She said yes. Which was nice. Lots of people clapped. She started crying, but I’m assured that it was in a good way. This blog wouldn’t exist if she hadn’t started one first. And I love [...]
