The Friends of Albert Road Recreation Ground ‘Wombles’ Group would like to invite you to join them this Saturday (24th September) at 2.30pm in the Rec for our next litter pick. We need all hands on deck as it’s been a while since we’ve been Wombling!
The aim of the group is to clear the Recreation Ground of litter. We have a number of children very keen to be part of this event and are looking for more eager Wombles to join them. Please contact Emma (emmaiwburridge@gmail.com) if you hope to join in or for any further information. Litter pickers will be provided (supplied by Haringey Parks Department), please bring gloves and carrier bags! If you are already a Womble please wear your FARRG Womble badge with pride on the day – if it is your first Womble outing for FARRG there will be a badge waiting for you.
If you live in the Palace Gates area, you have probably noticed the raised beds around the Triangle, and the beds around the Albert Road mini-roundabout, because they are full of flowers - not the usual boring evergreen bushes typical of local authority planting! This is because they are maintained by local people, who meet generally at 11am on the first Saturday in the month to weed, plant, prune, mulch ... Do come and join in (and meet some more neighbours while you are about it). Even if you can only spare half an hour, this would be very welcome - no experience necessary, and kids welcome. Details of exactly which beds they will be working on at the next meeting are posted on this website. For more information, reply to this post, or send a personal message to Molly Doran.
Extra Gardening Session Wednesday, 14th September - Please join in.
Meet at the Triangle at 11am (junction of Palace Gates Road and Crescent Road)
I've ordered more compost to scatter in the beds but it would be best to cut back the lavenders and clear any remaining debris first. So lots to do!
Picture shows attacking the Buddleja earlier this month.

Attila Theatre presents a day of pop-up scenes from some of the Bard's best works. We're teaming up with some of the brightest new theatre companies to bring a little theatrical magic to the beautiful Parkland Walk in North London.
Parkland Walk is London’s longest Nature Reserve. A former Victorian railway line, it is now a wonderful green corridor through North London. The Capital Ring path takes you through woodland, and banks of grassland which are host to bats and green woodpeckers– and on this occasion: pop-up Shakespeare.
The day will run from 1pm — 5pm, with 10 different scenes across 5 areas alternating hourly, so a nice stroll along the walk and back again will mean you'll get to see each scene. This event is family friendly so please bring your children! Please see website for further details.
Lingotot French and Spanish Classes for Babies and Toddlers @ the Maid of Muswell on Friday and Saturday mornings.
Bonjour! ¡Hola!
My name is Lily and I am a creative and successful teacher with Qualified Teacher Status. With almost a decade’s experience of teaching Modern Foreign Languages to adults and children in the UK, Belgium, France and Spain, multilingual education has become a way of life for me. I grew up in a bilingual French/Spanish household both in Belgium (Brussels) and Spain (Santander), and my partner is British – our son is himself being raised to be trilingual.
My name is Lily and I am a creative and successful teacher with Qualified Teacher Status. With almost a decade’s experience of teaching Modern Foreign Languages to adults and children in the UK, Belgium, France and Spain, multilingual education has become a way of life for me. I grew up in a bilingual French/Spanish household both in Belgium (Brussels) and Spain (Santander), and my partner is British – our son is himself being raised to be trilingual.
After the birth of our son, I have become more and more interested in multilingual education for little ones, and convinced of its efficiency. I then decided to join Lingotot to share this exciting journey with more families and children!
All research into language development shows that in the first years of life children “learn” (or acquire) different languages with very little effort. In fact, with the right amount of exposure they can acquire a second language almost in a mother-tongue-way, far faster than any adult. Therefore, giving children the opportunity to learn a second language early in life seems to be nothing but beneficial for them.
I believe in introducing children to languages at early age through play,songs and fun!
