She has quite a lot of blogs which are both inspiring and helpful - so for …
Thanks Stella and Tordie
Stella - we're signed up for the prudential Freecycle now so that might be a good introduction to road cycle for my eight year old. A helpful online acquaintance has also suggested a quieter route over to the Lea Valley, w…
What a great idea, I was looking for something to do with our youngest over the summer and this could be just the ticket. I'll be in touch just as I know when my wife is working.
Now I spotted that garden just a few weeks back because there were s…
Regarding the original post, I'm not too scared to cycle in London myself, but I am too scared to take my son cycling on the roads, unless we've picked a very careful route. Which in effect means that I do not cycle because I am too scared.

Our favourite Stroud Green restaurant closing down. How can this be?
I know, I know it's always completely empty, unless we're eating there, but if that was the reason then it would have closed down years ago.
This explains why I have hardly seen any squirrels this year. My wife says it's because we haven't put out any nuts for the birds but what does she know?
arkady and twinspark
The electoral system which arkady despises creates a system where the third party can come up with ideas without worrying so much about having to implement them. As twinspark points out this also applies to the tories to som…
Congratulations, how exciting.
We held our reception at the camden canal museum near kings x. A very neat venue. About 600 pounds five years ago. You can bring your own food and drink. I cannot send you the link though as i am on my phone. Mum …
