Good morning

A quiet week on the news front, with the weekend carrying most of it: a remembrance walk on Parkland Walk tomorrow and a craft festival at Hornsey Town Hall next Saturday.

The big story

Baby Loss Walk on Parkland Walk this Sunday

Bereaved parents and families are invited to a woodland walk on Sunday 11 October, during Baby Loss Awareness Week. Meet at the Holmesdale Road entrance at 3.30pm; the walk starts at 3.45pm and ends at the Baby Loss Tree, with music and short readings. Hilary Grierson organises it in memory of her son Hamish, and this year's fundraising is for Abigail's Footsteps, towards in-person counselling. All are welcome. READ →
