Dulwich Born And Bred

Ditto what Buggie said x

I loved my midwife that I saw at Townley for my antenatal check ups and the distance to Kings was better suited especially as I had to endure extra scans ( it's very very busy there however so waiting times is always long ). I can't say I had a good experience at Kings during my labour , it was a weekend , I had trainees staff in charge of my care , the whole experience from beginning to end was rather horrific , chaotic and I still try not to think about it five years on . I put that down to just bad luck on my part with the staff I had and the timing as I go to Kings for other reasons and have found the service superb in other departments . I have to say if I became pregnant again I would still choose Kings simply for location as I did end back up in Kings maternity ward due to an infection after the birth and the service there was good and it was easier for family to visit . I have heard that the maternity ward has improved a lot since my experience .

Silly question but do mobiles even work that high up ?

Sorry Loz! I should read all the posts properly .

This was an interesting read : http://keithledgerwood.tumblr.com/post/79838944823/did-malaysian-airlines-370-disappear-using-sia68-sq68

Born here , grew up here, moved away , liked it for a bit , missed Dulwich after a while, came back and will not be moving anywhere else again . I love it here but I have a lot of ties here .

Esme, what do you mean by soft play ? There isn't one in Dulwich ?

I will do , if there are any days you can't do let me know via here or PM. Single fathers welcomed too !

Some of us single parents still meet up a few years on since this thread started in case any new single parents would like to meet for a tea/coffee/ wine and chat ?

Does anyone know if this requires planning permission ?

Hoping to go for a metal bike shed . I have seen lots of bike sheds in the front gardens around Dulwich but when I looked online to buy one it said about planning permission ?!

It is true that to have a bike shed/ storage in the front garden that I would need to obtain planning permission?

I honestly assumed that it was going to be one site and that the plan was the East Dulwich Hospital site . Two different Harris Primaries in East Dulwich is not something I would lend my support to .

I used Eco organic paint, pricey but its great . No fumes at all! http://www.ecosorganicpaints.co.uk

Milk and more sell a green large zipped cool bag , would that work ?https://www.milkandmore.co.uk/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?section=10122&item=1742232&backLink=xxdcibeNationWideSAPCCtpLeafSctSs.jsp%3fsection=10122ANDbeginIndex=0ANDsecID=10122

The photos doesn't do the art any justice as it's very vibrant and colourful but as there was a van in the way I couldn't take a better photo . Hopefully someone else will post up a clearer picture when the van has moved .

I spoke to the man in question today at William Rose and he said he was misquoted and never used the word 'rough'. I told him to pop on here to explain the article . Not sure if he will but he was lovely about it and not happy with how he was misquoted in the Guardian.

I like it:)

Check out the wall art on the shop wall:

Lived here all my life and it was never rough , well apart from What was Yilmaz and Casablanca but other than that , it was never a no go area . William Rose came to Dulwich because they knew the people in the area would flock to their shop, and spend their cash on free range and 'organic ' meat . Maybe he should have used a better description to describe Dulwich as what he meant ( up and coming maybe ?) is not correctly portrayed with the word 'Rough'.

My child enjoyed Santa at Horniman's. His did his job talking to my son and listening to him , the present was useful . Grotto was basic but it had a tree , fireplace , presents and santa so little ones will be happy enough .

Went Horniman's today, Santa was really lovely , my child really liked talking to Santa and the present was a torch which is pretty handy . The grotto wasn't wow but for little ones its enough .

Any update on the upland road closure ?
