Posted on August 17, 2011 by katese11

Check it out! It’s another sarf-of-the-river, lambef walk type tip! (And yes, we actually go up Lambeth Walk to get to this one). To be fair, it’s also incredibly close to St Thomas’ Hospital and not far from Waterloo. So, … Continue reading →

Another generic post but a nice one for a hot day, no? We’ve done a fair bit of swimming around the South London area (not literally swimming around South London…unless you believe that made-for -TV movie “Flood”. “Sir, if we … Continue reading →

Posted on July 31, 2011 by katese11

Ben & Jerry’s Festival – 24/07/11

Posted on July 25, 2011 by katese11

So, it turns out that Ben & Jerry’s Festival is another one of those things which is actually less fun with a toddler. Another shocker! The lazing around on picnic blankets becomes charging around other people’s picnic blankets. The 8 … Continue reading →

Not the most promising title, I know…. We have some friends that live in New Cross and they were having a BBQ today (in the rain…cause we’re British). Roo was getting restless inside, so we took him to the park … Continue reading →

Vauxhall City Farm – 01/07/11

Posted on July 16, 2011 by katese11

Just a quick one this, as  it’s only little. Shockingly, considering how local the farm is to us, we’ve only been there once. It’s nice. There are animals – rabbits, ducks, cows etc and even a couple of alpacas (we’re … Continue reading →
