Hello! At the end of last year, my dad (who was a self-published author) sadly passed away from Covid and like many others I saw what the NHS has to go through, and I decided I wanted to help.


Having loved reading bedtime stories to my own children, I was inspired to publish my very own first children?s bedtime book. It?s a book about lockdown life told through the eyes of a young girl with a message of hope for the future. Printed in the UK, the book is both dedicated to my dad and the NHS - so much so that I will donate ?1 for every copy sold to NHS Charities Together (charity no: 1186569). A magazine has agreed to publish a small piece on it in the ?What We?re Loving Section? so it?s very exciting so I hope we can raise some good funds. I hope to do a book signing at some point in Dulwich Park too, when normality resumes.


But for now, my book is called ?Oh No, Not Another Lockdown!? (yes we can all relate right? 😉) and it is a funny rhyming bedtime book for toddlers and young children. It?s available for ?5.99 exclusively at https://www.rbbooks.co.uk/ with ?1 of that being donated, so it?s a very worthy cause.


I hope (as I actually lived in ED for many years, and now just a stone?s throw away) that the good people of ED will help support the cause. And tomorrow is World Book Day, so happy book day too!


There are more details on the website, but I?ve attached a few teaser pics, some never been seen before including one which all parents who are home schooling will appreciate.


So thank you very much


Regards

    • Oh give it a break.  We have an MP who makes racist comments, yet our media (and what seems like this Forum) that generally hate Labour (and loved Johnson) are just out looking for the dirt. It's a move on, nothing to see here.  Particularly if she used a letting agency.
    • Hi all, I highly recommend Rob Mills Gas Safe boiler engineer, helpful and knowledgeable. contact number 07952584171    
    • I don't think a single specific URL is easily doable.  When you enter a search the system presents the result without any of one's search parameters added to the URL.  So I suggest you go to https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/search.do?action=advanced where you just need to enter the address -- use SE22 8EW -- and the  Date Received start date.  I used 1/1/2025.  The three Tesco applications, all minor things, were all made in May.  The Simple search that I'd done previously had no time limit, and didn't include anything else that might have been from Tesco in the last two years. Incidentally, when I searched on the address 29-35 Lordship Lane it did not pick up the Tesco applications, which were held as 29 - 35 Lordship Lane Grrr!
