OK, according to the BBC, this weekend looks set to be a corker, at least relative to the kind of weather we've been subjected to recently.

The Marauders will probably be trooping into town tomorrow, but are planning to spend Sunday doing nice family things in our vicinity. We might take baby M to Beckenham for a swim in the morning, and then - does anyone know of anything exciting that's going on later in the day? (We went to the Lambeth County Fair and Latinamerican carnival last weekend and had a great time at both.)

Any suggestions appreciated,

BM

We're heading for Brockwell Lido - swimming in the open air and sunshine, low chlorine levels and a great cafe. Cycling there and back from ED is easy (if you have baby seat for Baby BM). Opens 10.00am - can stay all day with your own picnic if you choose. You have all of Brockwell Park to explore as well.


My family enjoyed both the County fair & Latin American carnival too.


Know of no "events" locally tho'.

last time I was there - a couple of years ago, there was a paddling pool for the little uns under a shade. Wouldn't like to think how much baby piss was in it tho.

Water in big pool usually freezing.

I once went there on a very warm but overcast day - in fact it started raining while I was there but it was fab. No one else was there.

there's a west indian and african festival at burgess park on Sat and a latin american one on sunday - complete with carnival parade (totally different scale to the peckham rye one)

Son who is summer lifeguard there tells me it is quite warm now in the pool, certainly lots of little children - I can't recall a paddling pool but haven't been looking.

the Innocent Smoothie people are doing their festival in Regents Park this weekend if you fancy travelling further afield. Looks like they have got the weather for it. Supposed to be baby and toddler friendly but have to admit, went last year and it was not quite as promised. Still they have scaled down the event this year. Link here

OK, thanks for all suggestions, we didn't make it to the lido, but did get to the LA carnival, which was great fun, with nice food stalls and plenty of space for relaxing on the grass (could have done with a parasol though!)

Thanks again for your inspiration,

BM

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
