Yes, I have. We have gone fruit (seed/nut and mushroom) foraging in and out of London. I'll just recommend a couple of places I've found most rewarding. Wormwood Scrubs: you'll find blackberries, plums, sloes and apple trees. Leith Hill (train journey to Holmwood station, then either bike ride/cab to the top of the hill or a very long walk): bilberries galore! Be prepared to spend a few hours picking. It's a lovely area to explore and I am sure there are other wild fruits (I've only been twice due to the distance).

Our nanny is looking for more families to babysit for. She is also available for daily roles. (We will be away over the Summer). If you require childcare over the school holidays, our nanny can provide cover.

The Ash tree that fell was rotted at the base: it had no sign of 'dieback'. The bridge is still closed. We walked past it only a few hours ago.

I just wanted to add that our nanny is also available during school holidays. She will also have availability for a more regular, scheduled, daily role (not after school) from May.

Our children's lovely nanny is looking for more families to babysit for. She has been with my family of six for 5 years, and we would love to help her find some babysitting work locally. I have 4 children: 1, 3, 5 and 6 years old. She has 10 years of childcare experience (and glowing references), from newborns to primary school age, with a true passion for looking after children and helping them to thrive. She cooks fresh, healthy meals and she loves to bake! My children enjoy preparing meals with her and she is good at encouraging them to finish their food. The kitchen, bedrooms and play areas are always kept tidy, which I really appreciate. She's also happy to help with putting a wash on and then putting the clothes in the dryer. She is usually on time, or early, and she is very reliable. Our nanny is looking to babysit on Friday and Saturday evenings (she also offers daytime weekday/weekend babysitting) ideally for a minimum of 4 hours. She charges reasonable rates. If you are interested, please send me a private message for her contact details. I am more than happy to provide a more detailed reference. Thank you for reading!
