Anyone have any idea how long you would spend there on a typical visit (have got 5yr old,6 yr old and baby). Trying to decide if it is worth a full day, or just afternoon visit.

Thanks

Looking for some help.

Struggling to clear a patch of land from Bamboo and Membrane, started to do it and it grew back!!

Does anyone know of a gardener/odd job man that can clear it ???

Many Thanks

Anyone know of good places to go blackberry picking in MK? (I was just reading the 'Oldstyle' Forum where everyone is doing it!)

Chaineys in Shenley Church End are an independant cycle shop which also have a repair service.. very good reputation. I have bought childrens bikes from there and they know their stuff.

We've had fantastic service from Phil Corley in Stacy Bushes...

Just to show that its horses for courses maybe...

The park land inbetween Bancroft and Bancroft Park has some large Blackberry bushes.

Shhhh... don't go telling everyone!! That's my picking patch... they go very well with the apples from my garden!! ;-)

A while back there was a thread about garage doors, and John Briars was recommended. Can anyone provide any verbal recommendations of his company's work?

On another topic can anyone recommend a good dentist in MK? Is David Gilmartin in Crownhill any good? He has a good website. One that is good with nervous patients would be a plus. I wonder if the NHS ones are providing good service? The last time I went to the dentist it was an NHS one in Netherfield and I got butchered.. thats why I'm now a nervous patient!

I'm very impressed with Stratford Road dental surgery in Wolverton. It's quite new and they take NHS patients.
£15 for a checkup, x-rays and a very quick clean. £30 for a hygienist appointment.
Plenty of parking on the road right outside!
