I'll be taking part in the Decorative Living Fair on 6 October at Chelsea Old Town Hall. It's a great fair featuring beautiful vintage and antique housewares. I've attached the flyer for the fair. The organiser has kindly offered 10 tickets as a giveaway for me to offer to residents so I thought I would share that information here in case some of you would like to attend (it's a ?5 entry otherwise). In order to receive a ticket, the first 10 people to write Caroline, the organiser will receive tickets. I will remove my post after she's given away the tickets. Just email her at [email protected] and let her know you've read about her giveaway on the ED forum from Leigh. https://www.facebook.com/decorativelivingfair Leigh

I wanted to ask if anyone knows of any good options for group accommodation for 12 people in one house in London. I've looked in a variety of places online but wanted to ask if anyone has any particular suggestions here. Rooms can be shared but each person needs their own bed (that is the tricky part) and we need use of the kitchen so it has to be self catered. Thanks, Leigh

Thank you! I prefer the sound of the second option as I'm in lightroom more and usually export from there. Thanks for your help. Leigh

Any lightroom and photoshop users available to help me with a question? It might be easier to explain via private message or over the phone. Ideally, I'd love it if someone could come to my house or meet me out and show me on my own computer how to do what I want to do as I'm not having a lot of luck with tutorials and videos online. I use lightroom and photoshop often, but need to use it for a purpose that I'm not used to. Basically, I want to open multiple files in photoshop from Lightroom and batch edit them with an action in regards to printing preferences CMYK, uncoated FOGRA29, etc. I understand how to create the action, I just don't understand how to apply them to many photos at once (or at least a handful at once). If anyone is up for helping me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Feel free to PM me.

I purposely walk on the other side of the street with our daughters because this junction has given me so much stress trying to cross it in the past. Something really needs to be done. I've seen many near misses. A few months ago we saw a cyclist hit by a car and today my husband texted me when he witnessed today's horrible incident. I hope the woman is okay.

In June this summer I'm assisting cookbook writer and photographer Beatrice Peltre to host a food styling and photography workshop in East Sussex. We have a few spaces left so I thought I'd pass along the information in case there are any aspiring food photographers out there who might be interested in sharpening their skills. The workshop will be held at a lovely farm, Hawthbush Farm http://www.hawthbushfarm.co.uk/, from 28 June to 4 July. Lessons by Beatrice will be interspersed with local visits to places like a smokery, the beach, and a pick your own fruit farm. Here is more information in case anyone is interested: http://www.latartinegourmande.com/2014/01/08/a-food-styling-and-photography-workshop-in-england-summer-2014/ Feel free to PM me with any questions as well.

Thank you for the replies! Leigh

I've signed up our daughter for Nimble Arts holiday club during half term (http://nimblearts.co.uk/?page_id=537) and was just wondering if your child has attended before and if they enjoyed it? I looked on the forum for any recommendations or info on it (besides info on the actual workshops) but didn't see any feedback regarding their program. It sounds really fun for kids and she's already signed up but I was just curious. Thanks, Leigh

If you're interested in crafts... http://www.craftyfoxmarket.co.uk/

I also need one before the weekend due to a guest arriving. I called a few places but haven't had any luck finding anyone with them before this Friday, so I'm also interested if anyone knows of any local x-mas trees available now.

Thanks for that!

I'm interested in finding out if anyone has recommendations of things to do in East Sussex that are food related (farms, breweries, food markets) or just anything interesting to see and do in the area, especially for a small group. Specifically near Gun Hill or between it and Lewes. Also I'm interested in beach recommendations, on the quieter side. Thanks! Leigh

Thanks for letting me know!

I guess I should have mentioned also that we were weren't able to attend the stay and play sessions earlier this summer as we were away so we'd love to meet some other reception children if possible before September.

Our daughter starts reception at Goose Green in September and we're hoping to meet some other fellow classmates before starting. Unfortunately all of her nursery school classmates are going to other schools. If your child will be starting reception at Goose Green in September and you might want to meet up for a playdate, please let me know. I'd even be happy to have a group playdate at a park if anyone is interested! Leigh
