Sophie, I would have loved to come along again (providing bubba no 2 hasn't arrived by then) however I can no longer drive on Physio orders as my tummy muscles have given up the ghost and pulled apart....exceedingly painful I can tell you. Hey ho so I am a little housebound. Have a lovely time and maybe in May I will be there with a good homebirth story to tell.

Just a little reminder to everyone - the next meeting is next week, on Thursday 22nd, NOT tomorrow as earlier suggested in this thread.


Vangough - oh you poor thing! Hope you are getting to rest up. And look forward to seeing you hopefully in May! Fingers crossed I will have my own home birth story by then too!

Hi there,


So, it looks as though we have a lovely group coming along for the meet up on Thursday, how nice! If you are planning on attending and haven't pm'd me, could you drop me a note just so that I can get a clear idea of numbers to let the cafe know for our table booking?


Thanks so much, and looking forward to seeing everyone in the park on Thursday at 2pm.


Best, Sophie


Molly - so sorry for any confusion, and also that you can't make it on Thursday. I moved the date because of the school holiday. S

Vanessa,


I had a home water birth - don't worry about all the practicialities, it is easy. We put a big sheet of plastic over the carpet under the pool, but other than that everything was provided - hose to fill it and pump to empty it. It keeps pretty warm - only issue is that it is a bit of a pain to empty, but by then you are tucked up in bed with baby, so that is someone else's problem!!


And definitely worth it!

Hi everyone,


Sorry for posting this so late after the event, but just wanted to say thanks to everyone that came last Thursday! It was so nice to meet the new mums to be, to see some familiar faces from last time, and meet babies that have been born in between!!!


Hoping to have another get together, picnic in the park next time possibly, in May - keep checking back on the thread for more info.


In the mean time, hope everyone stays well and takes good care of themselves!!


All the best, Sophie

Did this tour this morning with Rick. He was a fantastic guide and teach Ed. His instructions for the Segway were very clear and as a result I felt very safe whilst using it. It was great fun to ride, although would recommend rugging u p as much as possible as the breeze was very cool. Rick gave a great commentary on the sights we stopped at and also some good tips on things to do and places to eat at whilst in Paris. Overall the company was very friendly and knowledgable and a fantastic first experience in Paris. We highly suggest www.privatetoursinistanbul.com

    • Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.    
    • Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.  
    • Apparently this year due to the weather there are fewer insects for the birds to eat. So please if you don’t usually buy fat balls & seeds to put out (in safe places to avoid the cats ) a plentiful supply . They really need it this year, especially with snow forecast later this week.    Thankyou 
    • I hope she and the rider of the bike are ok. I feel its understandable that locals may be concerned when they see a road taped off and police presence.
