Let us all celebrate the birth of Ava Florence Whitfield

Born 31st March at Kings College Hospital.


Pictured here with brother Archie, Mum Tory and Dad Ben.


On 8th April I was walking up Howbury Rd Nunhead and this sight of this lovely family with new born child just stopped me in my tracks.

Reminded me that despite the tragic losses, there are these wonderful uplifting glimmers of hope, what could be more heartwarming than a new born child.

Other people were stopping by at a safe distance, we were all smiling and congratulating the proud parents.


Despite the much reduced unit, the fabulous NHS team were able to safely deliver the baby.


I mentioned to the couple that it would be fab if I could take a couple of photos with the intention of sharing via Facebook, as I thought these images and the story would help uplift spirits.


They were delighted to accept my suggestion and want you all to know that the middle name Florence was chosen as recognition of all the wonderful NHS staff in the UK.


If you feel heartwarmed by this post please do share with your friends.


Extending big virtual hugs to everyone reading this post - tonight I hope we will all be clapping, banging saucepan lids, dancing on the street ( at a safe distance! ) not just for our NHS, Let's not forget all care home staff working right some with very makeshift ppe, social workers, teachers, pharmacies, the NHS volunteers & other community volunteers, transport staff, delivery staff, food shop and take-away staff, suppliers, street cleaners, council workers the list goes on...!

      Damp cellar floor is it a problem

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered,

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By bonzodog · Posted

      Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.

      Love Dulwich Restaurant

      A ramp would not be suitable for Love Dulwich. Gradient would be too steep, also length of ramp would go into road. We considered a ramp in the house to get down 2 steps (internal) but an OT who measured said we would need a clear space of around 9 feet plus because of the height of steps.

      Silver Fern Landscapes - Recommendation

      By TAG · Posted

      Over the past few months, Jan from Silver Fern Landscapes has completed several projects for us.  (He was recommended by a neighbour.)  We have been very pleased with his work.  Some details are below: Built and replaced several trellis fence panels.  In one part it was very complicated due to a large vine that had grown into/around the trellis.  He was able to save the vine, having unpicked it from the old trellis and then securing it to the new.  The vine went into a bit of shock, but is now thriving. Repaired the top frame to our garden side-return door, replacing rotten wood, and repainting the new to match. Repaired the loose tiles in our front walkway Along the way, during his visits, Jan also gave advice on various topics, such as how to best care for: our recently re-planted lawn, a tree that lost a large branch, and the vine mentioned above.  His working style is straight forward...he shows up when he says he will, discusses what needs to be done, provides timely quotes, completes the work as agreed, and sends an invoice. No drama, no hassle.  We will definitely be calling on Jan again when future garden-related projects arise! silverfernlondon.co.uk/silver_fern_landscapes.html
