Another great day out is Coolings nature trail near Knockholt (about 20-25 mins the far side of Bromley). It's a ?3 entry since January, it's at the back of a garden centre and the nature trail has wallabies, pigs, goats, ducks and geese. Has lots of goodies for children to play with, tepees, long line of trees shaped into a tunnel, wishing log, plus back at the garden centre there are some Wendy houses on display which they let children play in, little go kart track and motorized diggers. Cafe is also very nice and not badly priced or they have a picnic area outside if you want to bring a picnic. Overall a really fab few hours, we are normally there for at least 4 hours.

Just did the British Museum for the first time in a while. Indoor Picnic under the dome great in this weather then Activity pack (free with deposit) which our 6 and 4 year old loved...then scared them with the mummies! Good Sunday day as parking reasonebly easy in streets around and free on Sundays (or 176 or 68 from SE24/SE5 and walk).

Some wonderful ideas for days out!


On houseoflego's recommendation above, we went to the London Transport Museum on Saturday. Train from PR to LB and then another train from LB to Charing Cross and walked to Covent Garden from there. Our toddler loved the trip on the train and adored the museum - very toddler friendly. Now we have tickets that are valid for 12 months I'm sure we'll be going again very soon (?13 for adults / free for under 16s).


Another recommendation for a more local activity (which we did on Sunday) would be for a walk / explore around Nunhead Cemetery followed by coffee and cakes in the wonderful new family friendly cafe - The Dish & The Spoon - on Cheltenham Road (http://www.thedishandthespoon.co.uk/).

Last year we had merlin passes and got discounts to the chessington hotel visit that gives you early entry to the theme park. The hotel is ok - dining room was dire but nice space behind and then the pre-opening entry to the theme park feels really privileged. We had about 3 rides on the bumper cars before it got busy

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.

      I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
