Hello Mums and Dads and Babies and Toddlers and...assorted family folk.


Lovely Bumps and Babes needs some more volunteers. Well, the former ones WILL insist on going back to work, having more babies, letting their children grow up and out-grow the group (The NERVE of them) (myself included in this).


For those of you that don't know us, we're an NCT drop-in group held at the Goose Green Centre on Mondays, from 10-12. It's a lovely informal drop in, for expecting Mums and parents/carers with babies up to 18montyhs, usually featuring antics from Cheeky Seb (who specialises in eyeing up people's changing bags and trying to hug smaller babies. Oh dear. He also does a good line in buggy inspecting and biscuit nabbing). It's run by volunteers, who host in pairs to set up and clear away the hall. We used to have both sets of volunteers arriving together and setting up and putting away together, but I am probably going to change this so that one half of the pair arrives, sets up, and then the other half arrives at 10.45-11ish and is responsible for clearing up etc (I know routines and naps are a problem if people are there for 3 hours, and want to make it as easy as possible for all concerned). It's not a huge comittment, but is worthwhile doing in my opinion :) I am also looking for someone to co-ordinate the whole shebang, as I am having to step down (bump/baby/work comittments). Seb is getting a bit big (and demanding) for the group now, and I have a rather-large-for-18-w Baldock Bump 2 which is getting in the way somewhat.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
