Hi Everyone


I'm so sorry not to have made the recent hook ups.


Hector is doing well and putting on weight as he should and sreaming the house down with colic. O.M.G.


Like the idea of a lordship land meeting as it's very near me! How about East Dulwich tavern? - it's roomy for prams and bumps..or......the caff in peckham rye as we all know it?


Shall I take lead ..? Are we after weekday or weekend? xxx

Hi all, would be happy to meet up during the weekend and the week.

Jess, good to hear little Hector is doing well :)

Jude, perhaps we should go ahead organising a weekend meet up and a week one as well.

My due date is very near so I wont be organizing the meet ups and I'll join you as long as I can. If I'm not around at some point soon is that it could all be happening for me.

Look forward to see you all,

Hello SBC:)


I'm hoping to come along on Friday with my 3 week old, Iona. It's still a bit of a mission leaving the house (or even getting myself together in the morning!) but will give it a good go! It'll be lovely to see/meet some of you then.

Hi lovely mums to be


My name's Hollie and I'm a local mum with a 2 year old little boy. When I found out I was pregnant I was pretty terrified at the thought of giving birth, and on a friends recommendation did a HypnoBirthing course with my partner. It changed everything for me and I actually found myself enjoying every second of my pregnancy and feeling calm and confident - even excited - about the prospect of birthing my baby.


I went on to have the most wonderful birth experience and can only describe it as the most peaceful, calm and romantic experience of my life (really!). It was beyond all realms of what I though was possible, largely due to the way in which we in the western world are conditioned to believe that birth must be this excruciating and sometimes traumatic experience. My partner and I were equipped with simple but specific self-hypnosis techniques, along with breathing and massage techniques that made our birth an experience we could share and enjoy together.


Since having my son I have trained as a HypnoBirthing practitioner and have equipped many couples with the skills they need to have a calm and comfortable birth - the way birth should be. I run weekly classes at my home in East Dulwich which cost ?285 per couple for a 4 week course, including the accompanying book, CD and all class handouts, plus ongoing support for the rest of your pregnancy.


If anyone is due towards the end of May there's still time to enrol on my April HypnoBirthing course which starts on Wednesday 3rd April, 8.00-10.30pm. Please visit http://www.londonhypnobirthing.co.uk or email me at [email protected] for more information.


All the very best to you all for lovely births.

Yes - that's noon this Friday at the East Dulwich Tavern.


Congratluations Suzie! I hope it's going well and that we can meet Iona on Friday.


Esther - hang in there, it would be great to catch up before you pop! :)


Hope to see a few of you then! As there are only a few people coming, please let everyone know in advance if you can't make it.

Hi there,


sorry to have been a bit absent from the thread: we have been housesitting back in Islington whilst the worst bit of our building work is done (we hope). I have found it a bit much commuting across. But i think I have to get my daughter to nursery tomorrow (in PR!) so will try to come along and catch up with those who are going.


Will be lovely to see you all

Might be quite a few away on Easter weekend - we are, God help us!


But the following weekend? 6/7 April


And going forward, there was talk at the last meet of setting up a weekly, almost drop in, session on the same day/place... Maybe a Tuesday or midweek, maybe at the EDT... Easier for all of us with baby brain not to forget we thought. sound like a good plan?

Hi everyone, I met some of you at the Victoria inn a few weeks ago. A few of you were due end of march so hope those of you who have produced already are doing ok, and those who are due any day have a good birth experience! I am now on maternity leave - hooray - and so am looking forward to meeting up with you again. I'm not due till end of April so hoping for plenty of time to rest before number 2 arrives. Weekday meet ups def better for me and I'm all for a regular drop in slot.


On another topic, has anyone found any daytime yoga sessions?


See you all soon, Jennie xx

Weekly drop in session on Tuesday sounds great to me. When everyone has had the babies I think there will definetly be many of us. I just wonder if there are enough of us that would regularly go right now. I'm due very soon (today!) so might not be able to make it for some time, but after I was settled with baby I would defenetly go. Tuesdays would be great for me.


Anyone else thinks Tuesdays is ok? And how many of us could start going there regularly?

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
