TIME: 10:30AM-12:30PM
PLACE: CHISWICK, West London. Please call Georgia on 0208 992 0059 for exact location.
Coffee Mornings are more informal gatherings which provide an opportunity to speak to a LLL Leader and/or chat with other mothers in your area who are sharing a common experience. They are friendly, confidential, and open to all mothers, soon-to-be mothers and children (breastfeeding or not!).
In addition to the meetings we also have a Lending Library of parenting and breastfeeding books to borrow and baby slings for you to try on and/or borrow.
We look forward to meeting you and your little one(s).
The next Series Meeting is on 12 March 2010.

Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.
Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullabye, rockabye, lullabye loo.
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo
The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo
Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?
Lullabye, rockaby lullabye loo.
The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
