LolliBop 2013!!
Some of you may remember my sugar-hyped, sun-stroked review of LolliBop 2012. It was crazily hot, crazily colourful and crazily fun. We met a ZingZilla and we saw – among others – Alex from CBeebies, who I had the weirdest … Continue reading
Where to live in London with a toddler pt 7 – Battersea
Battersea is at the heart of what’s known as “Nappy Valley”. There are bugaboos everywhere. It’s mostly affluent, although it’s funny that the two things it’s best known for are a derelict industrial building and a refuge for stray animals. … Continue reading

Crazy Chimps Opening Party – 14/04/13
I am in shock. It wasn’t Crazy Chimps’ fault but oh my…We’ll get to that bit later. It has something to do with that oh-so-angelic boy driving the yellow truck. We’ll get there. So, today was the opening of the … Continue reading
Where to live in London with a toddler pt 6 – Greenwich and Blackheath
I may have described Greenwich as the countryside in the past and I stick by that. It’s very nice, pretty expensive and unsurprisingly has lots of families about the place. Nearby Blackheath has a village-y feel and by saying that, … Continue reading

Where to live in London with a toddler pt 5 – Kennington
Kennington is home to MPs, random pop stars and other minor celebrities. It’s also close to the middle of town and bits of it are eye-wateringly expensive. As an area, it doesn’t have a huge amount of centre but there … Continue reading
Where to live with a toddler in London pt 4 – Hackney
Hackney may not be the most obvious place to live with small children, being more associated with hipsters and struggling musicians. But there is a growing community of parents, some of them still hipsters and struggling musicians, and the area … Continue reading
The British Museum – 09/04/13
You’ll be surprised to know that this was the first time I’d taken Roo to visit the British Museum. We’d been there twice before but didn’t see a single exhibit either time. Pathetic, I know. The first time was a … Continue reading

Where to live in London with a toddler pt 3 – Camberwell & East Dulwich
You might associate Camberwell with a number of things – the “Carrot” from Withnail and I, the “Beauty” from the butterfly, and the “Green” that is similarly named, yet subtly different to “Camberwick Green”. The people at Camberwell Green are … Continue reading
