I figured I'd start bringing the mocklet to play groups, stories, music that sort of thing, once he was able to sit up.

Now that at almost seven months hes crawling and sitting i figured it a good time to start. But looking at the southwark sheets, everything has 'term time only' plastered all over it.


Can anyone suggest things to do during the holidays? Is there a different time table out there for hols?


Any advice/suggestions gratefully received.

There's bumps and babes on a monday - goose green community centre, ?1.50 donation and you get tea etc, 10-12. Think that would suit him - there are toddlers but also lots of smaller babies from newborn up, and quite a few crawlers. well done him on crawling so early btw!


I'm pretty sure rhyme time at the library (11-11.30, Wednesdays) is still on - maybe someone on here can confirm, I've only been once in recent months as mine just too big and unruly for it now. But great for the stage your son is at. It's free.


Also Peckham Rye One o clock club is open 1-4 most days, and during the holidays it's open 10-12 Mon, Weds, Fri. Outside prob less good for him but inside there's soft mats etc for crawlers/pre walkers. Rocking horse etc.

Crawling already, wow!


Rhyme Time at Dulwich Library is still on over the holidays - we generally don't go but a couple of weeks ago when the sun was shining (remember that? Starting to feel like a distant memory!) they held it outside in the small park to the side of the library and we joined in.


Inside at the 1 o'clock club is great for small babies, lots of fun stuff for them to explore in the baby corner which is for 18 months and under.

Thanks for the suggestions. May wander down to the 10 o'clock 1 o'clock club tomorrow then. Is it at that new cafe thingy?


And the little blighter has been crawling for six weeks and is toddling against the sofa. I think he may have spent about 11 months gestating, its the only explanation. (plus they're all early walkers on the mums side, it's those strong irish farmers legs genes).


Where's the goose green community centre btw? Can't think of a likely candidate on the green.

    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.  
    • Nothing to do with the topic of this thread, but I have to say, I think it is quite untrue that people don't make human contact in cities. Just locally, there are street parties, road WhatsApp groups, one street I know near here hires a coach and everyone in the street goes to the seaside every year! There are lots of neighbourhood groups on Facebook, where people look out for each other and help each other. In my experience people chat to strangers on public transport, in shops, waiting in queues etc. To the best of my knowledge the forum does not need donations to keep it going. It contains paid ads, which hopefully helps Joe,  the very excellent admin,  to keep it up and running. And as for a house being broken into, that could happen anywhere. I knew a village in Devon where a whole row of houses was burgled one night in the eighties. Sorry to continue the off topic conversation when the poor OP was just trying to find out who was open for lunch on Christmas Day!
