Ok, thanks. Will have a look.: )

Hello, I'm looking for a Christmas wreath making workshop for daughter and I. The one at Stag & Bow is sold out! : ( Would love to make my own wreath with daughter this year. Any recommendations very welcome. Many thanks.

We sadly missed out on the day they had a slime workshop. It was fully booked. My daughter was very upset! I highly recommend the club if you are a working parent and need childcare. The club has lots of varied activities.

I went to Horniman Cafe and daughter wanted a snack so got a ginger biscuit and a raspberry lemonade, paid ?5. ?2.50 each, seriously ?2.50 for a tiny biscuit? It's crazy!!

Yes, we love it too. My daughter loves art so she loves making things and getting creative. It is run really well.

Hove is lovely and easily accessible by train. If you walk a bit further, you can find a quiet strip. It's beautiful!

Thanks Redjam and Norfolkvillas for your swift responses. She programs in the afternoon on my laptop but asks me questions and sadly I'm quite ill equipped. I need to look at it properly to help her. I will look into the workshops. She's very computer literate for her age so I'm keen to encourage her. Thanks x

Hello, Daughter loves coding. Does anyone know of any classes locally? She's currently working with Scratch. Thanks.

Botany Bay is quite nice and you can visit all the bays. Have a look on Airbnb for accommodation. Plus you could visit the Turner Contemporary.

Well I'll be happy to join you if you've got kids. My daughter is at school during the day so I'm on my own. I am open to play dates and hanging out with kids but mainly looking for friends to hang out for a coffee or just do a nice day trip while your kids are at school. : )

Hi, I wondered if there are other mums out there who would like to do day trips maybe to museums and cafes? I'd like to meet new people and add more people to my roster of people I hang out with. I sometimes go to Brighton or Kew for the day if the weather is nice. Anyone interested? I'm 37 and run a production studio but in between jobs I have time. Pm me if you are interested.

well we tend to leave quite early.

Really? Well we live in Forest Hill and manage to get there within 1.5 to 2 hrs and we visit Norfolk often.

Also only 1.5 hrs from ED.

you could go to Norfolk, go on a boat, go to Holkham beach and Morston. There are zoos, nature reserves and the beach. So much to do and see.. x

You could take him to Goose Green playground and then to the ceramic cafe. I am taking my daughter there this week.

Thanks for this Midivydale. I have been looking into Paxos and it seems so beautiful. I will look into Kefalonia. Is it touristy? I really hate large crowds of people or too touristy beaches. I liked paxos because it seems rather quiet there. My daughter is 8 and likes swimming and reading so thought of booking a villa. Where did you stay in Kefalonia? Maybe you could pm me. Many thanks. Also Nigel, Will you be able to pm me more info? Thanks for getting in touch. : )

Hello, Has anyone got a Hermoine Granger outfit for an 8 year old? I could borrow it? Help! Thanks,

Thanks Scareyt, we are planning to sail a bit so might hire a boat! Paxos and the Ionian Island look gorgeous. So many beautiful beaches. I will have a look, thanks for the input. x

Thanks SLad.. I will look into it.

Hi all, I hope you might be able to help me with your recommendations and experiences of Greece. We are planning to go to Greece this summer but don't know exactly where to go? Which parts do you recommend? I really don't like places that are heaving with tourists. Just a quiet island with a beach or a cove with nice restaurants and bars.. We've never been before so I don't know where to start. Any recommendations or input really welcome. Thanks,

Plus the seaside is so beautiful and there's the famous East Beach Cafe by Thomas Heatherwick and Arundel up the road from us!

Thanks Pugwash.. So reassuring to hear. We have a car so that is not a problem. I suppose it's not too far away from London.

Anyone?

Hello, I am wondering if any of you have made the move to East Preston in West Sussex from ED? Any idea? What is it like down there?
