Ice on pond of Clapham Common

This morning (16th January) the pond in Clapham Common froze and ice covered the whole pond, well... nearly. Some of the birds managed to break through even though when I threw a small stone on the ice it didn't break -  the stone just kept sliding along. If the pond is frozen it means it was 0 degrees or less and when its 0 degrees or less it means that it could snow. 

The water pipes at the Temperance Fountain and paddling pool are being repaired. If it works then it'll be possible for the fountain to be spraying water again.

Since I moved here (2013, 3 years ago) there was "Le Petit boulanger"  at the end of abbeville road

then they changed their name to: The Abbeville Bakery

Then it was chut down and became a new shop called Betty blythe

Then it shut down and... It's nothing now! What do you think it'll be?

Church of the holy spirit on Narbonne avenue 

Abbeville village is a very pet friendly area, because of the VET (David cuffe & associate)

but did you know that at the church of the holy spirit they will have a dog ceromony if your dog passes away. 

To me GAIL's is bread, Bread BREAD with so many choices. Just take a look at that!

It lookes so good! It's making me want to eat... there are still sooooo many different types of bread I haven't even tried yet. I usually get baguette there and make my own ham and lettuce sandwich.

Dairy on 73 abbeville road in 1907

I found this old photo of a dairy on Abbeville road taken in 1907. Looked like it was quite a job getting milk - not from a plastic bottle from the local shop! To me it looks like it is now the Aspire building even though number 73 today is Jacksons further down. What do you think?

I just discovered that the deep level bomb shelter in Clapham south (used in the Second World War) is going to be turned into a cafe.     

Abbeville village the coolest place in london?

 I moved to Abbeville 3 years ago. Since then it looks much better in every way. It has nearly everything that you need on one road (nearly) I think it should have a book store, fish monger and a pharmacy. How about you? My favorite shop on Abbeville road is the Ginger pig because I get to have burgers and sausages more often and also kerbisher and malt because I get to have chips with them.
