Haha, thanks Londondrz. Still have frequent feelings of ambivalence/ guilt about being so relatively laissez-faire about it tho.....
Anyway, on a positive note, I've lived in 11 different parts of London in my life and HOP/FH is by far my favourite place I've ever lived! So friendly, pretty, peaceful, green....there's a lovely feeling of light and space, and THE VIEWS!!!!!
The positives of our lovely SE23 massively outweigh any of the niggly
negatives, imo. And big up to our fab near neighbours Sydenham and Beckenham too, excellent places that I had no idea even existed till I moved round here
