Recommended Posts

MUDDY BOOTS Children's Outdoor Nature Group every Monday and Friday 10-11.30am at Devonshire Road Nature Reserve. Drop in sessions, no need to book ahead.


This Monday 3rd July its DRAGONFLIES and DAMSELFLIES. We'll be learning about these lovely insects and looking for them around our pond and we'll make a dragonfly each to take home. In the garden and Reserve meadows we'll continue spotting other insects including the butterflies and bees we've learnt about over the last few weeks.


Another chance also to see the tadpoles which very nearly fully transformed into tiny toadlets. Come and see these perfectly formed but mini toads!


As always at Muddy Boots there's digging, watering and mud painting on offer too. Then we'll have a walk in the woods (distance to suit your child) and head back to the Meadow Basecamp for snacks and drinks, songs, stories or poems.

Muddy Boots is hands on, engaging, fun and all outside in the fresh air of our lovely Nature Reserve.


Sessions run every Monday and Friday 10-11.30. They are drop in sessions, so no need to book ahead, just turn up on the day.

Meet up at the big green iron Reserve gates on Devonshire Road (opposite Tyson road) at 10am. There is on-street parking on Devonshire Road and Tyson Road.


Prices: It's ?7 per child, ?10 for 2 siblings, child-minded children discount available.

    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
    • Do you mean that there are only very few trades people and that all of their thousands of happy customers post glowing reviews but most of them have only ever posted once to recommend said trade person on the trade person's own thread?   If so, I agree it's mysterious.  
    • Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue. 
    • I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Amott Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the  Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there.  See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little.  To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.
