Suspicious weird doorstep caller
Hello everyone, I would like to share details of something that happened at about 6pm this evening, 3 January, in Queens Road.I was upstairs and heard my letter slot snap very quietly a few times. There was no loud knock, it sounded almost as if the wind was moving the flap. I went downstairs to check and, through my open venetian blind, I saw a young, slim black man outside my door. I gestured “What do you want?” and he indicated that he wanted to talk to me. He was holding a cloth bag and I…See More

"Hi Diana, we used Steve Hooper recently for the same kind of work (including for a cherry) and were very happy with the results: www.stevehoopertreework.com/what-we-do/tree-surgery/"

tree surgeon
Hi I don't need one immediately but I will soon be looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and reasonably priced tree surgeon. I would like to have the canopy of trees that overhang the back of my garden thinned and other cutting back done. It would also be good if the person knew about pruning fruit trees: plum and cherry.There are recommendations on the site but they date from three years ago so I'd like something more recent. I'm also going to try Capel Manor. Thanks.See More
Diana Ferguson replied to Jess Alavi-Ellis's discussion Found lovebird - is yours missing?
"Good luck Jess. Without sounding totally cynical, if someone does rock up claiming to be the owner be cautious. I don’t know what these birds sell for but it’s not impossible that some individual could claim to be the owner in order to…"
Diana Ferguson replied to Jess Alavi-Ellis's discussion Found lovebird - is yours missing?
"Any joy finding the owners Jess? Can you take a picture and use it to circulate some flyers? I don’t know anything about birds but I wonder how far lovebirds might fly. Hopefully the owners are local. I don’t have a cage but the RSPB…"
Diana Ferguson replied to Jess Alavi-Ellis's discussion Found lovebird - is yours missing?
"Yep, def sounds like a lovebird with that colouring. Also if it's that tame it must belong to someone. I suppose you could try the local police to see if anyone has reported it missing… or the RSPB. Are you OK feeding it?"
Diana Ferguson replied to Jess Alavi-Ellis's discussion Found lovebird - is yours missing?
"I've looked on Google. The green parakeets have long tails and are pretty much green all over. Lovebirds have much shorter tails, red faces and a flash of blue feathers in the…"
Diana Ferguson replied to Jess Alavi-Ellis's discussion Found lovebird - is yours missing?
"Maybe take a pic and put up notices around the area? A lot of people won't be looking at this site or have access to it. A bit of a pain, I know – I have a wandering cat so I know about circulating flyers!"

Hi Diana
Thank you for offering to join the herb-tending brigade if the scheme goes ahead at Bowes Park Station.
I don't know about the area around the tube, have you asked Haringey what plans if any they have to beautify it?
