I've decided to set up a WhatsApp group for local women who have PND right now, think they may have it (even if you don't want to admit that just yet) or who have come through or are recovering from it.

My son is 11 months old and I fell apart when he was 6 months old. One of the hardest things has been admitting how I feel and wondering how other mothers will view me. I'm much better than I was but know I have a long way to go..

I'm part of a First Babies WhatsApp group which I love and when there was a recent post about maternal mental health, I really wanted to keep the conversations going. Of course, Not everyone is experiencing mental health issues so the threads move on to other things!

If you feel like you need support, a space to be accepted on the darkest of days or if you can offer support as a recovered mama, please send me your mobile number and what name you'd like to use and I'll set up the group

      Interesting, because I am finding it next to impossible to get an appointment at Tessa Jowell.

      Yes, I live Colyton/Dovedale area and lots of swifts usually.  I'd love a swift nesting box too.

      Free swift nest box & installation in SE22

      There's always a large flock(?) over the area of back gardens surrounded by Colyton / Dovedale / Marmora / Scutari, but no idea if / where there are any nesting boxes. We'd love to have one, and often have swifts zooming close by, checking out possible sites.

      I would have thought the cost of erecting X meters of metal barriers would be the same irrespective of location, plus given the issues with access now due to the "bunds", it would also be easier given the ample direct access the common provides? The reason I've heard from the organisers is that their footprint has been tailor made for that part of the park, so it's not possible to fit it anywhere else. Which is a ridiculous argument given that  they've already altered / extended it due to the space they've 'lost' from the "bunds". The reason I've heard from FOPR and others is that as the common is public land (or similar) it requires permission from the Home Secretary (or similar) due to ancient grazing rights or something. Oddly it doesn't seem to have affected the circus, the steam fair, the dog show etc etc etc Yes, the wide path where Parkrun starts & finishes will become a controlled crossing during the build, and completely closed off during the festival. Also, when I asked about the reason for the extended footprint onto the sports pitch, they said it was to replace lost space where the bunds are, which they used to store equipment. However, they were unable to explain where this storage area now was on the new plan... And when asked about the loss of the sports pitch due to the extension & access road, they said the council had assured them there were no matches booked for that period. But what about the kids, families, who play on them? No answer...
