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

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
