Brockwell Park!

What about a Brockwell Park meet-up? So many current MN-ers are in Brixton and surrounding areas, and so many others have nostalgic memories of Brockwell Park from when they used to live here.

An informal picnic close to the cafe on weekend afternoon? A breakfast in the cafe?

I can think of me, Bossykate, Batters, Bungalowbelle, Zeitgeist, Hallgerda, the people who were on that coat-ripping-bus thread, Spidermama, Rowan1971, Floating, Tiredteacher, SandraDee, Evey, Serenity, Drospophila (I think).

Who's up for it?

Just found the threat and can not believe it's my 4 years old party.Never mind another time.

Hallgerda · 16/05/2007 17:01

serenity, the cafe's in the mansion - you can't miss it . I think there might be one small ride-on train on the edge of the park, but if I see a sheep I'll know rowan1971's been spiking our cake .

I have a vague idea where I'm going now, thanks Obviously if anyone sees me wandering aimlessly about, please yell!

bossykate · 16/05/2007 18:06

ok will aim to get there about 3pm.

serenity · 16/05/2007 18:58

Isn't it 2pm, or are you trying to avoid us?

Spidermama · 16/05/2007 19:04

I'm really looking forward to coming but like batters, if it's raining, I'll wimp out. The cafe's pretty small and I've spent many a miserable hour huddling in there with my buggy waiting for the rain to ease off.

bossykate · 17/05/2007 10:07

i thought i read below 2.30pm. but i will get there when i get there - dd still has a nap.

Weather looks OK for Sunday

moomymama · 19/05/2007 00:22

We'll be there, but is it 2, 2.30, or 3pm? I want to get there in time for the rat stabbing, save me a few will ya?
We're not moving to Tulse Hill anymore yay! My heart belongs in Streatham (never ever thought I'd utter that sentiment, in fact I feel quite dirty just thinking it.... eeeewww...) Anyway it's a long story and I'll explain Sunday.
BTW we should have arranged to meet in Dulwich park, the Green Fair is on. You could have brought your special plants Rowan...

Blu · 19/05/2007 00:28

We said 2.30 somewhere below - is that ok - and BK, we'll expect you when we see you? And you can rendezvous with those who haven't been arrested or accosting savages in bushes, or tripped off to Dulwich Park!

We used to live on Brailsford Road, next to Arlingford Road....have such happy memories of living there.

Blu · 19/05/2007 00:48

Did You? We looked at a house there - a very nice one - in 2003...too expensive for us

OP posts:
Heathcliffscathy · 19/05/2007 00:49

we had a groundfloor/basement flat.

ahhhhhh.........our courting days.....spent in bed naked watching endless cricket with strawberries and chablis and lots of sex.

sigh.

Blu · 19/05/2007 00:51

Well, half the point of this brockwell park meet-up is for those who have moved away but harbour memories of Brixton...you can lounge about fantsising about the cricket and that other thing you did! Chablis.

OP posts:
Heathcliffscathy · 19/05/2007 00:52

ahhhh..where and when? don't think i can but you never know. would love to see you and bk.

2.30, the cafe, this Sunday!
It's a very impressive cast list so far - and a fab itinerary!

OP posts:
serenity · 19/05/2007 01:02

Looking forward to it already.

You're up late Blu!
