I am due with my second any day now and already have an 18 month old who loves swimming. I've been taking her since she was 6 months.

Naturally I want to take the second when they reach the same age, but not sure what I would do with toddler at that time?

The class we go to as babys class followed straight after by toddler class, so not sure how creche would even work out.


Any ideas?


It's all likely wishful thinking on my part I can do with the second exactly what I did with the first!

Swimming was always v challenging with 2 little ones. For a while we did consecutive classes and I stayed in the water whilst my partner dressed/undressed the children. Some pools will let you take 2 little ones in but depends on the personality of your children whether you feel this is a safe option. We've only recently started taking them both (5 and 3) together with one parent as our 3yo is really over confident in the water.

      Yes they do, but that is not the core tenet of representative democracy. At that level, we are voting for a parliamentary representative, irregardless of whether parties exist or not. It's why candidates can stand as independents.

      Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?

      Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
