Chair, Riverside branch<br />
4 Newsletter Spring<br />
Welcome<br />
Letter from Peta (Riverside)<br />
Welcome to our wellbeing-themed Spring edition branch newsletter!<br />
For those who have not yet met me, I am the new Riverside Branch<br />
Chair. Along with the rest of our new and existing team of volunteers we<br />
have been working hard to meet as many of our members as possible<br />
– whether that be at our new tea groups (see What’s On section, page<br />
22), our nearly new sales (our next NNS is on Sunday April 22 - see page<br />
28) or at the wonderful playgroup on Friday mornings at St Stephen’s<br />
Church, Stockwell (see What’s On section, page 22).<br />
When I think of ‘wellbeing’ it’s not just my 14 month old daughter I am<br />
thinking of – after all a happy mama makes a happy daughter… Our<br />
family is looking forward to welcoming another baby in the summertime,<br />
so quite frankly, I am taking advantage of every ‘twosome’ outing<br />
opportunity my daughter and I have. Her favourite thing right now is<br />
swings. Teething and winter colds may hinder her appetite for food,<br />
but not her enjoyment of swings. Through the winter you could see us<br />
bundled up in the park swinging backwards and forwards, backwards and<br />
forwards – she seemed not to notice the ice on the ground? But now in<br />
the glorious afternoon sunshine we share a special period of peace and<br />
happiness at the end of the day: me basking in the sunlight, her swinging<br />
backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards…<br />
Perhaps there is something we can do to improve your wellbeing<br />
and enjoyment of parenthood? Keep in touch and get involved with<br />
Riverside goings-on via our new facebook page, by joining our google<br />
group (where you can receive updates, participate in forums and share<br />
information with other local parents/carers), or perhaps you are a twitter<br />
guru and want to follow us there? Of course, our website continues to<br />
grow and so can still be replied upon for helpful information.<br />
