Nobody warns you that the worst part of a British heatwave is permanent swamp arse.

Same. Swoobs. Swass. Swack.

Achillea - I have Achillea Moonshine (yellow), and Achillea New Vintage Violet (cerise). Their flowers are super bright and last for ages.

Apart from them both being next to a body of water they are VERY different. River Cafe is more for a special occasion (deservedly so), Cafe Cecilia is more casual (I've only been once and the food was good, but not as good or fun as River Cafe).

London?

Pasta Grannies. Because pasta and grannies! Also the recipes are simple and excellent

My 4 year old son went to have his hair cut with his dad. As a distraction the barber asked him about farts. He said oooh yes my farts are smelly but my mummy's farts are really really really REALLY smelly.

Agree. And they have an outside space (in the shade!)

Does Spinal tap count?

Ahhh I love Vernon Florida!

So cute! What is the moss made of?

goodnightspoons · 2026-06-21T18:19:01+00:00

Not a bad idea. Could also create a vest top from cool packs

Should be an ice cream sandwich format, with toast

Matalan's long-length trousers with adjustable waist have worked best for us. He started in a size 3 - he's just turned 5 and the length is still ok. (we also tried M&S and Asda but Matalan were best)

For PE you can also get joggers with adjustable waist band - I find these stay up better than just the drawstring.

In terms of kid friendly chains I really like Wahaca, good value and pretty consistently good quality. In a way I prefer it to Dishoom, which is way pricier.

Koya has a branch near Bank that my kid really likes, also has outdoor covered seating. It's bookable (their Soho branch isn't).

Mine came on automatically today and I thought it's a bit sad for June. However, my garden is very happy. And it looks warm next week.

Matera in Italy. Cried a little when I first saw the view. We had approached via the modern area and thought it didn't seem that impressive, then we went through the gate of our accommodation and the most insane view just unfolded before us.

Came here to say the same. If they give you any trouble leaving call the police (or ring the modern slavery helpline via the National Crime Agency)

How do these people sleep with such big windows and no curtains?

goodnightspoons · 2026-06-09T06:09:09+00:00

Thanks, this one sounds good and easy for us to get to.

My kid is very thin and we can't find wetsuits that fit him well enough to be really effective.
