Last week was half term. Much needed by everyone. We had a fairly chilled out break, mostly hanging around in our local park, but we did decide to do a proper outing one day. I say outing, but this wasn’t just a fun day for the kids. We visited Down House, the home of Charles… Continue reading A Day Out With Darwin

Welcome To The New Southwarkbelle
Notice anything different? Well if I’ve managed to do this properly then southwarkbelle.com will now bring you here, my new WordPress blog. I decided it was time to try swapping over as WordPress is easily the main platform for blogs now and I need to use it for my reviews over on Festivalkidz.com. So it’s… Continue reading Welcome To The New Southwarkbelle
The Best Mothers Day Gift
Bring Your Own Mum Night with NotOnTheHightStreet #BYOM This is my Mum, and a glass a fizz. Sadly a bit of a rare sight around here, Mum that is, not the booze (ok, no, that sounds bad). My Mum lives in deepest darkest Devonshire. I (and the clue’s in the name here) am in South London.… Continue reading The Best Mothers Day Gift
Canada Water Culture Space

Society has (mostly) moved on from treating all women as stupid, or at least doing so openly… Continue reading Book Review: Expecting Better

I grew up on David Attenborough documentaries, bug hunts and trips to the safari park. I suspect that’s where my interest in science was originally sparked, and I really hope my girls will come to share this fascination with the natural world. Sadly I’ve heard a few people say that London kids must find all… Continue reading Review: Sea Life London Aquarium
The Horniman Museum
Adventures were needed yesterday! Last week we were stuck indoors for the whole of Monday, but with gorgeous winter sunshine and a strong desire to avoid that much mess* again it was time for an outing. There are lots of good places to explore with a toddler in South London and one of our favourite… Continue reading The Horniman Museum
Morris Lessmore and the Techno Toddler
It’s not like my life is short on technology, at work I operate machines that cost more than our house, and my communications with my husband are roughly 80% virtual on week days, but I have been slightly hankering after an ipad for a while and after hearing a few people say they were great… Continue reading Morris Lessmore and the Techno Toddler
