THAMES WATER WORKS SET TO CONTINUE FOR MONTHS
Traffic delays late yesterday afternoon included a 249 bus due to go to Anerley station taking more than 15 minutes to travel from All Saints church to Sainsbury’s on Westow Street with the bus terminating in Crystal Palace
A Thames Water spokeswoman told News From Crystal Palace today (Thursday): “Our mains replacement work is taking place in phases and will continue over the next couple of months.
“This means any temporary lights will move around as has been the case since we started the project.
“I’ve heard the traffic was bad this morning but please note this was due to some problems with some nearby traffic lights (not belonging to Thames Water) and not because of our work.”

Guest stalls this week
Guest lunch – Nosh Paul tells me the special this week is hot salmon ciabatta. Along with the usual burgers + fish finger sandwiches.
London Smoke & Cure: Hot smoked belly
Smokery – London Smoke & Cure Ross says “It’s all about the smoked meats this week and we’ve got some real treats for you. Once again we’ve taken some of Gill Wing farms finest pork belly and cured these slowly over the last week. We’ll have some ready to eat fennel, white pepper and lemon belly as well as our more traditional hotsmoked belly. So versatile – add it to veg, wrap it round some fish, eat it as a snack with beer and bread, it’s pork for all occasions. Both available either in pre-sliced packs or carved on the stand.
Also available are our streaky bacons – two types, smoked and sweet maple. Cook them slowly so the fat renders out and you’ll be eating the finest bacon ever on Sunday morning. If you prefer beef, we’ve got the salt, smoke and spice balances just right in our pastrami. Pile it up high with pickles, cheese and good bread and you’re halfway to sandwich heaven.
Oh, and lets not forget the cheese. We’ve sourced some nice little Pie d’Angloy and smoked them over apple and oak. We should have done this ages ago – they’re a real winner. Camembert lovers will be satisfied.”
Owl Kitchen: gluten free lemon & raspberry sandwich
Gluten free – Owl Kitchen Mel is making us “Carrot cake, sausage rolls, brownies, peanut butter squares, sugar free dairy free beetroot torte, vegan lemon cake, lemon cheesecake, bakewell slice, spinach and ricotta quiche, breakfast bars, lemon polenta cake, lemon and raspberry sandwich (& possibly some bread depending on how it turns out!).”

Plus! Rhubarb crumble cake (as featured in last weekend’s Sunday Mirror); peanut butter bars; mint choc chip cookies (it’s like having mint choc chip ice cream and a cookie at once, so why not?); indulgent Fairtrade chocolate and fleur de sel brownies; shortbread treacle tart; and loads of sticky buns.
If you haven’t tried a semla yet, you’re in for a real treat – these sweet cardamom buns are filled with almond paste and organic whipped cream, and devoured the length and breadth of Sweden at this time of year. Come and try one (or two) – they’re Nordic but nice. Missing the market? The Brett & Bailey online shop is always open. See you soon!”

Brockmans – Jason says “Cavalero Nero and Rainbow Carrots are the stand out lines this week. I also think a crisp Cox Apple every day doesn’t hurt. I was going to highlight one of the 3 varieties of Potato but instead I’m going to suggest Jerusalem Artichokes. We have 2 varieties on the stall and they are by far the best we have produced over the last 3 years
