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!

    • I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.
    • Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
    • Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again. 
    • What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
