Peckham Rye Cafe and a Mid winter garden

The 'new' cafe on Peckham Rye has been open since the 12th of November. Made a visit on the way to the Upland Road Cafe for a bacon sarnnie ( Best Bacon Sarnie ever)........because it looked pretty good.

The place was stuffed with diners and the counter top with Almond and Plain croissants plus cakes that offered a very tasty death.

The people serving were sweet... despite being rushed off their feet.

The menu looked extensive but not cheap. We had some scrambled egg on toast.......fantastic, delicious bread, almost the size of a plate...........the problem was that the amount of egg there was looked and tasted lost in comparison.

Nice place to have a nosh.

I walked past the cafe later in the day and it was apparent that the cafe was a favourite with people with prams...............it was packed and the outdoor seating, although it was getting cold, was pretty full as well. It seems that East Dulwich, the baby capitol of the world, has taken kindly to the place, it's proximity to the toddlers playing area and the very lovely Rye Gardens

The Olive tree still seems to grow in the middle of winter.......
perhaps the horticulturists could develop a UK version that
will give us the olives to make some oil!

So what do you do if you feel like blowing yourself up

What's with these folk who want to blow themselves up................for what..................these people must surely be desperately deeply malfunctioning narcissists? Psychosexual problems maybe...........maybe the first time they watched themselves wank was in a distorted mirror..........not a pretty sight...........but surely lads..... not something you have to kill yourselves and others for? They are soooooooooooooooooooooo foooooooooking dysfunctional narcy that they don't believe in any system to register a complaint or vote...............nothing is good enough for them...............in fact they don't want a system at all...................they are as delusional as The Red Brigade and Baeder Meinhoff were in the 70's and 80's. What can be done about it..............who knows..........maybe a change of diet, a little bit of generosity and stopping this crap about foreign policy.......................................we didn't see you on the March against ...

Back fom Greece

Well, have just returned from Zakynthos or Zante. Apart from a couple of dull weather days ...one at the start and the other at the end.....and a hotel that smelt of dead dogs, babyshit and nicotine stained underwear.....it was a good place to be. We escaped the Kalamaki resort and hotel with a hired car...and with the good sense of Isolde we went down a track to look at a Villa on the beach.....a good ten kilometers from the rooms from hell and with a mountain range in between. What a good move. We met Soula, the widow of Ville Fiore, who was beautiful, charming and deserved the money we paid for the rooms....in fact even more...money that is. From then on it was a daily vist to Zycanthos Town....a wheel around the views...and every second day a 10K run. The food scene...whew.....some desperately bad mistakes....and some gems. That's it for now...will post more pics as the week passes. Posted by Picasa
