We spotted our first swift of the year on 8th May in The Gardens

Our locally based eCommerce business is looking for some ad hoc assistance with Google Ads and Google Merchant. Ideally, we'd love it to be someone local who can come into our office to work with the team here rather than a faceless agency (we've tried that!) Our website: https://edinburghcasting.com/ so you can see what kind of products we're selling :)

We can?t stop them from going in the house, but we slather the feeder pole with Vaseline then sit back and watch them slide down repeatedly 😀

Without wanting to brag, we?re getting loads of small and larger birds visiting our feeding stations: Great, blue, coal and long-tailed tits Goldfinches Sparrows Robins Greater spotted woodpecker Starlings Jay Magpies Parakeets Wrens We?ve got high quality suet (not balls), peanuts and niger seeds in feeders on a very tall pole positioned next to tall shrubs that the small birds use on approach. We also have a wooden bird house feeder for the large birds that we put suet in. We?re in The Gardens, btw. Hope that helps!

We're a local business selling fun craft products using video on social media where we have a large Facebook following of over a million fans and followers. We've had a fun and original idea for a gender reveal video so we're looking for local parents who know the gender of their baby and would like to announce the gender to family and friends in a really original and interesting way. In return for taking part, there'll be free fizz for your guests, a unique keepsake and a video memory of a really special moment. I can reveal more if you PM me!

Stan?s a great find. He?s thorough, very knowledgeable, always arrives on time and makes an effort to get to you as soon as possible. I like that he always puts little blue covers over his shoes before coming into the house so as not to make a mess; and is at pains to find the most cost-effective solution. His prices are very keen, in fact he even refused to take payment for a very small job on one occasion. Thank you, Stan. We?re delighted to have you as our plumber!

New favourite is this amazing place in Copeland Park. Well tucked away, but so worth finding. [kanpai.london] Downstairs they brew stunning, award-winning sake and upstairs they have a tap room where you can sample the freshest sake you?ll ever taste in this country. We also tried a gorgeous sake-based cocktail. You can slurp some of their Barman?s Ramen while you drink. Only open at the weekend, but an absolute gem!

Head to the very corner of The Gardens, No 17, if you?re nearby or on your way to Aneto 😀

Highly recommend Stan (Gas Ray). He always comes as soon as possible, is extremely punctual, wears special covers on his shoes to protect your floor and has sorted out various boiler issues and leaks for us very quickly and very reasonably. He wouldn?t accept any money for coming out and re-sealing our bathroom taps. Very knowledgeable and thorough. He is certified to install various different boilers and will always quote you the best value for your needs. A good one! Tel 07479 465 706

We are a small local company specialising in lifecasting and are looking for a family of four to take part in a short video showing them having their hands cast. The perfect age for your children would be between 4 and 12 and if you had a particularly confident chatty child that would be wonderful! We would come to you at home to carry out the casting and filming. The casting is good fun and you would end up with a lovely handcast like that shown in the attachment. If this sounds of interest, please get in touch: Thanks Alison [email protected]

Batch is a great bar - you get a free glass of prosecco on arrival, Phil is passionate about his back bar, great cocktails and music. And love the fact that they provide plates and cutlery for you when you bring in your own food. We had a delicious takeout from Banh Banh just a couple of doors down. Highly recommended!

I know, I know, not East Dulwich, but I always appreciate recommendations within walking distance, so thought others might like to know about this gem. We have had consistently excellent food, wine and service every time we?ve visited Norbert (previously Noak) since it changed hands earlier this year. I urge you to venture over to SE4 for some seriously good cooking. Www.norbertrestaurant.com

Hi Corin Have PMd you. Best wishes Alison

Part Time Admin Role in Brockley ? Planning, Logistics, Customer Services We are a small but growing creative and eCommerce business based in Brockley who are looking for some part time assistance for our Commercial Director as we expand into the US later this year. The role would suit somebody with strong organisational skills from an administrative or operational background which could include marketing or events planning.

The role is likely to evolve over time, but initially will involve: ? analysing stock levels and requirements ? sourcing suppliers for stock ? ordering stock and ensuring delivery deadlines are met ? liaising with contract packers to co-ordinate product assembly ? assisting with planning for international expansion ? assisting with customer services The person we are looking for should be calm under pressure, a solution finder, confident and resourceful. We?re a small, close team, so are looking for someone who is happy to muck in and help other members of the team as and when required. Hours will be very flexible; we are happy to work around the school run, holidays etc but with the US launch scheduled for the summer, hours are likely to increase in June and the first half of July.

Just wanted to recommend Guy. This is the first time we?ve used him and have been really impressed with the quality of service and the quality of the goose that he delivered to us as promised. Good communication, good price, and delivered bang on time. No interminable queuing at the butchers. We?ll definitely be using him every year from now on.

Definitely redwings - and a large flock. They?re still around (we?re in The Gardens) and looking resplendent in the sunshine! What a treat.

We're a local business who are looking for a local family who would like to take part in filming for our very successful Facebook page which has over a million followers. We are looking for a family of up to 8 including grandparent(s), parent(s) and children aged 5 to 15. The filming will involve having all of your hands cast together to create a lovely family sculpture, see attached. The filming should only take about an hour, but we are looking for availability this week. Please PM me if this is of interest.

We're a local business who are looking for two female best friends aged between 8 and 11 years old to take part in 2-3 hours of filming for a Facebook advert for a home hand-casting kit. We have over a million followers on Facebook, so it might be a good opportunity for children who are interested in drama or performing. The little film will be about friendship and filming will involve the girls talking about their friendship and casting their hands together in a pot of moulding gel. We are hoping to film next Monday in or around East Dulwich. Please PM me for more details if this might be of interest. ~Alison
