@arkady you're right, sadly, it's not technically stroud green. i might have to create a fictional address for my SG.org alter ego!
@idoru oh thanks, i'll look them up
@idoru that sounds great - I seem to remember seeing a flyer for a craft afternoon at the Stapleton as well, it was in August I think, I wonder if they're still running?
Thanks for the replies and suggestions - I will definitely keep an eye on this forum.
@vetski moving to Ashley Road - unfortunately it's only a short let but I intend to stay in the area!
