Lovely thread. So glad I'm not the only soppy fool. In the Night Garden intro and the 'Looking up, looking down..etc' music makes my heart ache too much - btw, does anyone else wonder if the Night Garden is an allegory on the after life?


My boys only 2yrs now but I'm already worrying how I will get through the school nativity without being reduced to convulsive sobbing.

I've always thought of it as dream land. Afterlife adds rather a sinister edge to it, like the other place in Twin Peaks with the backward speaking midget *shudders*


Aaaaanyway, there is a wonderful song called "Roller in the coaster" by a guy called Justin Roberts, who sings songs for kids. Beautiful lyrics, and I love to cuddle my daughter to it.

Oooh - I agree with Otta, the afterlife does make it all seem a bit creepy. Plus, the thought of seeing Iggle Piggle et al on the other side does not appeal! I've also thought it's a dream-like place, as the child at the beginning falls asleep Iggle Piggle floats off on his boat into the night to the land of dreams.


The solo at the beginning of 'Once in Royal David's City' always gets me as well. We watch 'Carols from Kings' on Christmas Eve and hearing it always makes me feel like christmas has properly started. Just thinking of watching it with my little boy for the first time this christmas is making me feel quite emotional.

      Jags Swimming pool Temperature

      By EDLORDER · Posted

      Interesting, because I've been going throughout the past few years with different sets of kids and the parents i'm with have always said it's cold. Also spoke to a couple in passing the past weekend and one even said that's why she never brings her 18 month old because it's too cold. Thanks for your feedback. Maybe it's the room temperature that's throwing me off. But the showers are way definitely way warmer than the pool itself.

      Post office or Thorpe Park???!

      Twice this month I’ve used the PO upstairs at the old WH Smith’s in Forest Hill. Very helpful and efficient with no long wait. But it’s sods law with post office queues, you just never know.

      I took an item for tracking to Los Angeles having paid postage and customs fee already online to Family Stores in Upland Road. They printed label and custom form from a QR code and all good, present has arrived, and there was no queue. ETA Actually the main reason I posted this is to reassure those who are put off sending gifts to the US because of all the tariff business, like I was, that it is very straightforward
