Rory (3 months) and I (a bit older) are enjoying our walks together especially now it's sunny, but CBeebies is slowly turning me into a homicidal maniac. I suspect I may be craving human contact, I understand this is a phase all new stay-at-homes go through.

I'm figuring this being a sociable type of neighbourhood that people do meet up every now and then. Does anyone hang around a pub with the papers and a bit of gossip for an hour in the afternoon at all?

Are dads welcome?

More than happy to spend an hour at the Herne one afternoon, we were there for lunch on Sunday and my two had a great time in the playground while we had a drink in the sunshine. Could do afternoons from about 2:30ish, forecast is good for tomorrow (Fri) if anyone fancies it?


Mockney - enjoy the fact that you're still able to read the papers, that will change once Rory gets older!

Baby snowboarder LOVES the slide at the Herne....only prob is he can't climb up to it on his own so I have to supervise....we're around tomorrow afternoon but generally more like 3.30 post nap...


Mockney - there a dads group in Dulwich Village I think - may be more for toddlers - but saw it advertised in se22 mag...

Fridays mrs mockney and friends tend to 'wfh' so I'm usually set for lunch. Well the missus does actually manage some work, not convinced by the rest of them.

Herne sounds great for a midweek wander, keep me posted. And thanks for the advice and of course the kiss *blushes*

mockney - think as others say it's def an age thing, as in once they can move around it's much harder so def enjoy those lunches/drinks - I had lots of boozy lunches when my little one was that age...I'm hoping to venture to the Florence tomorrow to try out the baby room there which sounds like could cater for all ages really, and yes herne sounds nice with its outside space. or the Plough on a Friday. Haven't tried the latter two yet. I'd def be up for a pub outing next week.
Our littl-uns are about the same age - Cassie's 4 months tomorrow. And I am extremely partial to a medicinal G&T. I'd be happy/ecstatic to tear myself away from the gorg. Sid and Andy for a lunch/afternoon outing...does anyone fancy trying the Florence, with its new baby room?

All sounds great. Herne ia always a winner and I'm pretty free every day but Thursday next week.


I like the Florence, though mrs mockney now avoids it as they wouldn't let her sit in the front with Rory and is now more partial to the Prince Regent with it's tables outside.

Anyway, happy to join anyone in whateverthe plan as I'm easy going/a bit desperate ;)

Yey... looking forward to it.. and of course Ruth!


And as it's right round the corner from our house, if we have any toilet or new clothes emergencies, you can come back to ours.


What age will all the kiddies be - I'll only have one with me, our 4 month old Cassie.

i'm up for it - usually have a nap around 2 but might let him have it in buggy on the way up there. Mine is coming up to 15 months so will need amusement - thinking back wistfully to the days when I could h ave a coffee while he was in my arms. But have heard the Herne is good for outdoors play stuff.

Have already confessed my age once on this forum which I think is enough!

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
