Blimey four She's HOW will we cope?????

me me me me

Any more for any more??? We will go to a park, so no entrance fee - just bring your own grub and anything your kids want to play with - footballs, frisbees etc. Maz. XX

We'd be interested in coming to this one but will be away 23rd, 30th July and 7th August weekends. Carolyn

i'd be interested - just hope i can organise and afford it!! keep us posted of dates etc... Jill x

Hi Maz Count me in, any weekend is good. Julie

We want to come!!!! We can make any weekend! Will make the time! Pat

Is it gonna be just the 4 of us then???!!! Come on, must be more folks interested in this ...... Maz. XX

Maz, Wanna come. Got no kids but might be able to borrow my grandson. Can make any Saturday in July and August (sad ain't I). Jean x.

I definitely cant do 16th July as that's my nephews birthday party.

Hiya Maz can't do 30th July

Have just read in the paper that the new Live Aid will be held in Hyde Park on the weekend of 2nd July, so that is definitely off our list of possible dates! Please can anyone who is interested (you don't HAVE to bring kids!) add on this thread which Saturdays in July/August they CANNOT make. Then I will make a decision and let you all know. Just borrowed a new book from the lib which is all about London's parks, so maybe I will find something really exciting that will add to the day! Maz. XX

That's a great idea Maz, I can only make last couple weekends in July but if i'm around I'll be there. Luv Jo xxxx

Hi Jim, thought I would look at it more closely a bit nearer the time. Those with kids won't want to drag them on and off too many different types of public transport for one thing, and then we need to be somewhere with space for a game of footie or rounders without trampling others underfoot! Oh and child-free adults will be MOST welcome, as long as they pitch in to help keep the kids occupied !!! Maz. XX

If there are going to be a lot of us we really only have about 4 choices. There is Regent's Park with boating, open air theatre Zoo etc. But a long way from the West End. Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens with the Serpentine, Diana Memorial (Memo bring splints and plasters) and the Peter Pan Statue. Easy access to Oxford Street, Kensington Museums, Park Lane for you POSH ones who are staying the night, Edgeware Road and Bayswater Road. Green Park Nothing really to do, Just grass but right by Buckingham Palace, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square and Regent Street. St James's Park with a lake and right by Trafalgar Square, Whitehall and The Strand. We could make rude gestures towards the Prime Minister's House. Discussion starts now.

as a big kid without kids can i still come? I'm god a scaring small children into silence!!! :O)

Maybe I could bring youngest son and his Wee Boy. It would be good to show them around London.

I'm game for it - I may even bring the nieces and nephew if they havent driven me insane by this point. Zoe

Hi Maz, only just seen this thread. I think it is a great idea. My daughter will be 8 and my partners kids 2 and 7. Just depends if we can get to London on the day. Jack xx

This is such a great Idea Maz. Hopefully I`ll be over the sickness stage by then!!! Hmm don`t know any indoor areas sorry, only know attractions and Shops!!! LOL, but Chris has banned me from going shopping!!
