Hi everyone,

Tomorrow British Geological Survey will be conducting soil samples in our area. I am one of the people doing them, there'll be small pairs of people in high vis jackets with what look like metal poles with loops on the ends of them. Please do not get stressed if you see us in the parks as council's have granted access. Also we may be asking permission to sample peoples gardens due to the lack of open public ground. If you see us about we're a friendly bunch and feel free to ask us about what we're doing as we have info leaflets...

maybe see you tomorrow guys..

sorry not to reply sooner due to lack of internet access. Firstly thank you to all the lovely helpful individuals that let us sample their gardens. The sampling is being conducted as part of two studies run by BGS; London Earth and GBASE. They are analysing the content of the soil, the minerals and any contaminants present. These will then be mapped and compared to land use, the bedrock geology and comparative studies between cities and rural and city locations. The results will not be availble for two years and are involved with any regulatory body or environmental group. If you would like further info please see the following links:

    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
    • We have lots of shoes and need a nice way of organising them! 
    • Invitation to Expectant Parents: Infant Observation Are you due to give birth this September or October? Would you be interested in taking part in an Infant Observation with an NHS honorary psychotherapist?  I am an honorary psychotherapist working with adults in the NHS (Adult Complex Needs, Tavistock Clinic). I need to conduct an Infant Observation as part of my NHS training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. By taking part, you can contribute to mental health services and our understanding of human development from birth. Infant Observation is an established part of psychoanalytic training. It allows for the in-depth study of the early life and development of babies in relation to their caregiver(s) in their home environment. I am looking for expectant parent(s) who would be interested in taking part with their infant from about 6 weeks after birth, ideally beginning Oct/Nov 2025. The observation would take place for one hour each week during term time at the infant's home at the same time each week, to be agreed between myself and the caregiver(s), for the duration of 3 academic terms (roughly 9 months to 1 year). My role would be to non-intrusively observe and reflect on the infant's development and communications. The work is a requirement of my training at the Tavistock and would be supervised by a Tavistock clinician. Parents and caregivers can gain support and insight from taking part at this important and unique time in your baby's development. I work with adults in an Adult Complex Needs unit in the NHS, and at Tavistock Relationships. I have worked in a psychotherapy community for survivors of human rights violations where I helped establish a mother and baby group for refugee and asylum seeking mothers. I have a Phd in Literature & I am a contributor to the London Review of Books. I am working on my first book, a history of childhood. I am coming towards the end of my psychotherapy training having already gained a postgraduate diploma in Psychotherapy from the Tavistock NHS Clinic and University of Essex. If you would be interested in taking part with your infant, please respond to this post. With thanks, Mary Hannity
