Oct 16 2025

Parenting and Online Casino Safety
Oct 14 2025
It’s hard to overstate just how easy online gambling has become – everywhere you turn, there’s a device in someone’s pocket or bag, connected 24/7. People aren’t just dodging the old threats any more; things have shifted far beyond physical casinos. Unrestricted internet access brings a bunch of new headaches for parents, all those betting apps, sports wagers, and digital slots games. According to the UK Gambling Commission, 39% of children aged 11–16 have seen gambling adverts online. Seeing these platforms just about everywhere puts a lot more pressure on parents to be both aware and digitally savvy. For families hoping to stay ahead, it’s probably worth taking the time to map out the risks – it’s less about panic and more about knowing where the pitfalls might be if you want to protect your finances and your family’s wellbeing.

Making sure your child feels calm and comfortable walking into the dentist’s office truly matters, especially when you want to make sure they don’t develop a phobia.

If your little one knows that you know what is going on and that you are in control, they will be so much more relaxed and care-free about the experience.
With this in mind, we’ve created a handy little guide for every London mum who wants to be prepared the smart way.
How to blend modern design with period features in a family home
Oct 13 2025
There’s a quiet kind of magic in homes that balance the old and the new. The high ceilings, decorative cornices, and worn wooden floors whisper stories of another time — while sleek lines, calm palettes, and modern materials remind you that life moves forward. Blending modern design with period features isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about allowing both worlds to coexist beautifully. Even small touches, such as paintable brass plates for switches & outlets, can bridge eras seamlessly, adding polish without overpowering character. In this article, we’ll look at how to achieve that balance — so your family home feels cohesive, functional, and timelessly elegant.
Gig review: “Imagine Lennon” at Boisdale Canary Wharf – A night of peace, power and pure Lennon magic
Oct 12 2025
There are tribute shows, and then there is Imagine Lennon — the closest thing to having John Lennon himself step back onto a London stage in 2025. Starring Tyson Kelly, the internationally acclaimed musician and actor who has portrayed Lennon across the world from Let It Be on Broadway to The Bootleg Beatles, this show at Boisdale Canary Wharf was a interactive and engaging journey through Lennon’s life and music.
Three days after what would have been John’s 85th birthday, the sold-out London show felt charged with emotion. Tyson didn’t just imitate Lennon — he became him, channelling the voice, wit, and vulnerable spirit that defined one of rock’s most complex icons. Backed by his superb four-piece band from Leeds, Kelly guided the audience through a seamless mix of Beatles classics and Lennon’s solo gems.
