There have been a number of drone sightings this week in people's gardens in Grove Park, part of which backs on to Copleston Rd. You need to report it to the police, who seem to be taking it quite seriously. They say to keep anything informative (documents, cards etc) or valuable away from windows, close all windows when you go out leave shutters partially open as closed makes it look like you are out, They even said to keep doors secured even when at home. The seen in Grove Park is reckoned by someone who is familiar with them to be quite a good one, which he would have expected to cost between ? 800 and .?1000.

This is a great shop and social enterprise, and huge community asset. I do all my dry goods and cleaning materials shopping there. The stuff is very high quality, and all organic unless labelled otherwise. I've learnt so much from the people working there, their newsletters and Instagram, and even been influenced in the way I renovated my house. (The interior of that beautiful shop was built of things mainly bought second hand off this forum.) Please don't let it go down!

Painting Your Pathway at The Whistling Studio 88 Grove Park Camberwell SE5 8LE www.paintingyourpathway.co.uk "Mummy, I don't know how to paint that". We hear these sad words from children for the first time when they start trying to meet the expectations of adults, and lose confidence in their own intense perception of the world. These sessions encourage children to return to their own experience, to reconnect with their own felt sense and express it naturally and spontaneously. This helps them to integrate their changing self and feel confident in their own experience. 5 - 7 YEARS: 10 - 10.45am Week beginning 14th July: Mon 14th, Wed 16th, Thurs 17th, Fri 18th Week beginning 21st July: Mon 21st, Wed 23rd, Thurs 24th, Fri 25th 8+ YEARS: 2 - 3pm Week beginning 14th July: Mon 14th, Wed 16th, Thurs 17th, Fri 18th Week beginning 21st July: Mon 21st July, Wed 23rd, Thur 24th, Fri 25th 4 x 1 hr sessions ?40, all materials included.

Children create joyously, without conditioning, until they start trying to meet the expectations of adults. This severs their connection with the centre of their being. I facilitate Michele Cassou's liberating "Point Zero" approach to self expression, which enables people of all ages to reconnect with their creative impulse and integrated centre of calm. 8-11 yrs: Tuesdays, 4-5pm, 3rd June - 1st July, 5 sessions, ?50. 12+ years: Wednesdays, 4.15 - 5.15, 4th June - 3rd July, ?50.
