Linz in Focus

I just wanted to let you know about one of the groups which I am involved in.

It’s called Stepping Stones. They meet 2-3 times a month and we have breakfast, croissants, toast and pancakes with coffee and tea. It is just a chances for mums to get together and chat about what they need to or what they want to!

We also have a bible story, some kids songs like the wiggle song and a craft to go with the story which both mum and kid enjoy doing.

There is a very high rate of post-natal depression on Grange Park and most of the fathers work very long hours. So these groups are very important to the mums and the kids it helps them to see what they feel or what they are going through is normal!  It is always nice to know you are normal although some of us have to go futher than others to find it.

Well last Saturday we had our community Fireworks and I was really looking forward to it promised to be a good evening, and it was. But I thought there would be a bonfire and sparklers Ha! Ha! Ha!

No!!!  Heath and Safety Sucks a lot!

We were not allowed to have a bonfire it was too dangerous! We were not allowed sparklers in case the kids got burnt or hurt! I am so upset cos it is not a real Guy Fawkes Night without these things.
We did however have a fantastic fireworks display and it was fabby we also sold glow sticks but in came health and safety yet again!!  We could only sell them to over 16’s because the stuff in them is dangerous.

Health and Safety has taken the fun out of the 5^th of November!    

Despite this we did have a good time and those who came enjoyed themselves.
