I love a good postcard, and local artist PiNS now has some for sale on his website: https://t.co/jWRtIxwbce — mine were delivered yesterday and I’m very happy with them!

@moguloilman @InsideCroydon West Croydon station is where Samuel Coleridge-Taylor collapsed a few days before his death. There’s more details of his Croydon connections here, including specifics of where he lived: https://t.co/lG966wTUgz

It's Baltic out there. We're launching a programme of Winter warm spaces to help people stay warm and happy. Free tea, coffee, biscuits and activities. More details and December schedule can be found here: https://t.co/mf7gsbqnNa Back our Crowdfunder to help us keep doing this 🫶

@MatthewsYard @thearchcompany I’m so sorry to hear this. You’ve worked so hard, for so long. It isn’t fair.

If you want to show your postal worker that you support their strike, you can download a poster from https://t.co/PXexLL7j5v and print it out to put in your window. Our postie saw our poster the other day and was very happy! Please consider doing this; it does make a difference.

Go on, chuck Shaniqua a fiver (or more if you can!)

She does good work for people in Croydon, and it would be great to get this anthology fully funded.

New(ish) hair & beauty place spotted the other week on London Road in the rebuilt part of Royal Parade: https://t.co/SamV8dkLDS #Croydon

[Kake in Croyd'n @croydn]

@davidmorgan100 @TonyFosw Ooh, nice find. They advertised in Ward’s directories too — see e.g. https://t.co/cEe7Dwl9R7 and https://t.co/goz1QRwEE0 — but I think yours is the first one I’ve seen with coffee prices on.

@molybdomantic @Kake @SimonLandmine Oh yes, Tina is great! I still have some of her Croydon skyline tape :D

[Turf Projects @Turf_Projects]

@clivewalker Fish is delish :D

I recommend this if you’re looking for recipes: https://t.co/u5zbFR8eyx (I serve it with rice)

[Kake in Croyd'n @croydn]

@ShanqMarie Sorry for using the wrong word. I’ve been asking around among people I know who’ve breastfed, to try and find someone who could talk it through with her, but no luck yet.

[Kake in Croyd'n @croydn]

@ShanqMarie The NHS strongly recommends breastfeeding people get the jab: https://t.co/pvtvo9PfbO

She doesn’t need to stop breastfeeding to get the jab. If the problem is that she’s still scared, the best way you can help is to find someone she trusts who can reassure her that it’s safe.
