Blackheath changes

Lots of changes in Blackheath over the recent months...sadly no new bars or pubs (except the Crown which hs been refurbished to look well exactly like the old Crown did)!
The new Giraffe restaurant is up and running next to Pizza Express, and seems to be doing a roaring trade.
Fistik is a new Turkish restaurant around the corner which has taken over from where El Pirata was. Not sure how busy it is but I do like Turkish food so will be giving it a go.
Jo Jo Maman Bebe is opening a new store where Bullfrog was, surprised a "chain" Mother and Baby store hasnt opened before now.
Ah...Foxtons have also come to Blackheath...surely it was only time. After all every second shop is an estate agent! Opposite here there is a newish ladies clothes shop - Baileys? - anyway it is where they had a children's shop before hand and a wedding shop. Everyone who seems to occupy that little shop always seem to be so miserable so maybe they will eventually move on as well...I popped in the other day and didn't even illicit a "hello" from the lady who runs/owns the shop.
I also hear the stairs have been put in the wrong way down to the train station...oh dear!
The library has closed very sadly and the mini festival planned for this year has been cancelled mainly from what I can gather due to the miserable intereference of the Blackheath Society.....
Busy old times hey!
