LWAT is 5! A Disappointing Post

Posted on July 13, 2016 by katese11

This is Roo and Nathan two years and a month ago, on Reuben’s 5th birthday. I prepped hard for that party, baking a special cake, setting a dinosaur hunt and filling party bags with dino-related goodies. Now my second child, … Continue reading →

Millfields Park – 27/05/16

Posted on June 4, 2016 by katese11

I almost forgot to blog about this day, which would have been a pity because it was one of those rare days when Eva was in a good mood pretty much all the time. Except one breakdown, but that was … Continue reading →

Fairy and Elf Walk – 02/03/16

Posted on May 2, 2016 by katese11

I am dedicating this post to my good friend Mrs Rabitt, who’ll soon be moving to M11Land so I imagine she’ll be on the Audley End Mini Railway pretty much every weekend. We’d never been there before but we were … Continue reading →

Highams Park Playground – 16/10/15

Posted on October 16, 2015 by katese11

I’m a special kind of tired today. The kind of tired that you get when you go out for a rowdy curry night with the local mothers and then get up for the school run and then wait ages for … Continue reading →

Brent Lodge Park – 27/07/15

Posted on July 29, 2015 by katese11

This Summer, I am doing something brave. I am conquering my fear of West London. But I can’t do it alone. Thankfully, when I announced this on FaceBook, a kind family of West Londoners reached out to invite us over … Continue reading →

London Without a Toddler – The Railway Children

Posted on July 23, 2015 by katese11

The LWAT family has had an addition these last few days. Sadly not a permanent addition but happily one that’s already toilet-trained – my 13-year-old niece Natalie. She’s featured on the blog before, as a 9-year-old, and she even has … Continue reading →

Peckham Rye Adventure Playground – 26/05/15

Posted on May 27, 2015 by katese11

  Yesterday, it was sunny. Really sunny. The kind of day that leaves a vivid red mark on your shoulders with only a finger-shaped patch of white to show where you rubbed some of the kids’ sun cream off. I … Continue reading →

The Bucket and Spade List Part 10 – The Met Line

Posted on September 29, 2014 by katese11

The first thing I need to warn you about the Met line is how much concentration it requires to actually catch it. Any Met line platform on Central London is probably moonlighting as a Circle line platform as well. And … Continue reading →

London Fields and Hackney City Farm

Posted on July 6, 2014 by katese11

I’m writing this after a weekend of torrential downpours and intermittent drizzle, (though apparently quite localised because we got some funny looks turning up to church in wellies and coats). If you too have experienced the July showers you may … Continue reading →

Mrs McMoon, Greenwich Theatre – 10/04/14

Posted on April 10, 2014 by katese11

It’s a sunny day and Reuben and I are on a mission. It will involve wizard trains, singing flowers and a pirate ship and we’re still planning on getting back in time for nursery at 1. That’s the kind of … Continue reading →
