Dear Mums-to-be of Spring Babies


Please join us for an informal, drop-in Pregnancy Group in Peckham Rye Park at the Children's Playroom.

(The old 1 o'clock club next to the Cafe). Run by Kings College Hospital Midwives and Ivydale Children's Centre.


Mondays, 11.30-1pm (term time only).


An opportunity to meet other mums-to-be and chat to the midwives in a relaxed environment. Feel free to bring your maternity notes if you have specific questions about your situation.


For more information call Anna on 07891 468667 or just turn up. Look forward to seeing you there. Welcome from any stage of pregnancy. Children also welcome.

Hello there everyone,


I've only just moved to the East Dulwich area so have just found this forum today and was chuffed to see a thread for first time mums :). I'm due on the 1st May - still teaching full time and beginning to struggle staying enthusiastic on my feet now, but would love to meet some other first time mums expecting spring babies as I literally don't know anyone.

If anything is being arranged I'd be very keen to meet. Hoping all mums to be are doing well. Look forward to hearing from you :)

Hello Spring Babies Ladies, looks like there's a meet up this week, and I'd like to let my wife know, she's due April 22nd, but hasn't been in ED long, and we were out of London for the Feb meet up, so she would like to come and say hello and meet some of you this time. But before I pack her off, I'm just checking I've understood it right and you're on for 10:30 this Wednesday 13th in the cafe in Dulwich Park? Many thanks, Dave.

Hi

This group sounds great and would love to come to a meet up. Not able to come in the week until the maternity leave begins at Easter .

I know how you feel B I'm still teaching full time and also due 1st may.

Look forward to meeting some other new mums in the area . Hannah

I can't make it either... I know it might sound a bit wimpy but the weather completely terrifies me! I have been so ill constantly in the last months and I am finally feeling better.

Really sorry I was actually really looking forward to it.

Hummm - with so many cancellations I'm wondering if this is still on? Is anyone actually coming? My son and I are down with colds and coughs (like the rest of London it appears!) but would show up for a little while if we are guaranteed there will also be others!


Hope everyone gets better, at least there is a bit of sunshine out there today!

I was sorry to miss the meet up today as I had planned to go... but then got a last minute case at work to do. Would much rather coffee in the park!


I really hope to make the next one - I am still working on and off until 12 April and we have also had to move temporarily back to North London whilst the worst of our building work is being done (terrible but predictable timing). Therefore not so easy for me to come over during the week although we are commuting with my daughter to her nursery in Peckham Rye!


How about another weekend date? Or can I suggest another meet up during the week, maybe Lordship Lane/Bellenden Road or even Crooked Well in Camberwell? I could do a day later next week?


Hope you are all well and look forward to coming back to South London (which now feels like home!)

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
