Two Fulham mothers with a nose for entrepreneurial ideas have just launched “Those Who Nose Fulham”, a newsletter listing things to do in Fulham.
“We were frustrated of only hearing about some great event happening on our doorstep when it was too late and of not knowing there was a Chelsea match and getting stuck in traffic” says Lara Soetekouw, who founded the site…

This Summer in London we have enjoyed the best looking and most inspirational benches ever produced. For those who haven’t noticed some of the 51 colourful BookBenches installed in June on the streets of London here is a little story behind the Books about Town initiative and the images of the few I managed to capture.

I often find mums are so busy they can’t remember what they did one day to the next let alone last summer. This is where a memory box works really well. Memories are really important to us and especially our children as they affect their personalities, future, help discover passions and even careers!
