  1. ‘Don’t throw away your old #clothes – do this 1 thing instead’

    #RepairCafes are popping up in the UK where volunteers are learning how to #repair, #mend and #fix #garments or #electronics to avoid buying new items

    "A stitch in time may just save the planet as Britons’ nimble fingers do their bit to prevent 1.4billion garments from going to landfill. Nearly one in three adults (32%) have thrown away new clothes in the last years amid the rise of fast fashion.

    "But retired nurse Debbie Kennedy, 60, is among the people who have joined a #RepairCafe where clothes are #mended. She described how attending the #GreenerAndCleanerHub’s #knitting and #crochet group in #Bromley, London, has also helped 'repair those bits of me that have been broken along the way'. Ms Kennedy said: 'As I was approaching retirement after 40 years of nursing, I wanted to ensure that I continued to feel productive and give something back to the community and maintain my health and wellbeing.'

  2. Some finds from their comprehensive display in the little Coronation Hall nearby, itself an interesting artefact from days gone by. I’m told some influential members of #Bromley Council were in attendance so let’s hope the hard working ODAS volunteers continue to get the support they deserve.
    4/4

  3. I don't think I know anyone here who does #NormanPark #Bromley #Bethlem #ParkRun but it's been confirmed they're still on. Hooray?

  5. Dear friends of Real Life (#RL), ​:ablobcatbongokeyboard:​

    #Yesterday we had a day in the #unvirtualised #Gaia. Went as near as #possible to the #highest point in Greta Londinium (Greater London, as it is currently known). Near #Biggin #Hill in #Bromley. Visited Keston #Common to find the #source of the #Ravensbourne #river. A #legendary #spring discovered by #Pagan Emperor, Julius #Caesar. 🪶

    Saw an old
    #windmill, a pair of #raptors (probably #buzzards), #koi carp, #artist painting, #biplane ... Also briefly visited High #Elms #Country #Park, with its rich #history. ✔️

    We went by
    #hybrid car. 😮

  6. #Transport for #London Bus Changes:
    New route SL3 introduced - 24 February 2024 - With New Routemasters
    #Superloop Route SL3 will run as an express bus service between Bromley North Station and #Thamesmead Town Centre via #Bromley Town Centre...

  7. Next sections of #Superloop network in outer #London confirmed by #TfL

    SL2 will run between #Walthamstow Central and North Woolwich with new stops to better serve North Woolwich, Beckton and Gallions Reach, and SL3 will run between Thamesmead and #Bromley

  8. I understand that #Ulez will impact around 15% of drivers in outer-London boroughs such as #Bexley and #Bromley. If those affected really are as cash-strapped as they claim, maybe they can negotiate lower golf club subscriptions. We're all in this together, eh.

    Otherwise they can #STFU.

  9. Police Section 60 authorised across #Bromley this afternoon / evening. Presumably to deal with big groups of kids.

  10. #Goleman Group was going through a tough time just a year ago, with publicity like stuff.co.nz/business/127093599

    But it must be disappointing for #Christchurch residents to read "the contractors who were working in the area where the blaze began have refused to be interviewed". This is disappointing stonewalling by a professional organisation that has made #Bromley life so bad, and hurt the #Council reputation
