It was open on Sunday... I went in there and things were definitely happening.

I am going to reserve judgement as it was a very quick visit but I would have loved to have seen some cheeses olives and nibbles in their cold counter, but instead they seem rather geared up towards takeaway sandwiches. A curious approach as it is predominantly a residential area and they are competing with cafes like Petitou and Lucis and Richards lunch menus. But I wish them well and I am sure I will use it for last minute veg.

Yes it was a little bit disappointing, really, but I don't think they were quite ready ? it was less a deli than a collection of sandwich fillings in old ice cream tubs and a pile of unopened cardboard boxes. I think it will get better, though, as the couple seemed really nice and really keen to please. I think they just need a bit more stock ? and a bit more time.

Popped in this evening. V. v. sweet people running it. Some curios in the way of fairtrade stuff and persian rose petal pot pourri (slight exagerration for alliterative effect). Some good, tasteful flowers (? - ? as in why in a deli?). The rest wasn't particularly exciting except for some rather yummy looking chocolate brownies.


Nothing offensive however - God bless 'em and all who sail in 'em.

We are hoping to get our Vietnamese Coffee shop at 155 Bellenden rd open soon - still being delayed by solicitors at the moment.

We have been a great success this summer at Hackney's Broadway Market where we do our regular Saturday Saigon Street Cafe, so are looking forward to regular trading in Bellenden, when we will open London's first genuine Vietnamese coffee shop !

Look forward to seeing you eventually

Popped in tonight - very nice man serving, with loads of interesting produce. Business apparently is good, with lots of comments about local support - and the EDF...


He showed us the space in the back which is going to be a cafe, and also told us about the shop across the road is going to be a beauty treatment place. Lots of shops along Bellenden Road are apparently being filled

    • Thank you all for your input- we had the children with their mother for a few days. individually the children went out - one  to the theatre and Camden Market and Horniman's. The other to the transport museum and Leicester Square (could not get in to the Lego place so went into M & M place) also Dulwich Park with his Aunty and cousin. My daughter is a special needs teacher in Sussex and even though schools have closed, she had  to work 2 days (INSET Days)  one day she had a 3 hour zoom call with her colleagues as could not find a child minder, so worked from home, the next day the 9 year old spent the day with friends so she could go to work. At least with us she could get some respite from child care. After much negotiation, their father in Liverpool  has managed to get some leave from his new job for 2 weeks. My daughter will drive them to Oxford where Dad will pick up. This gives my daughter a few days  without children to catch up with various friends in the Midland's and Yorkshire. I will search the science school link as above as there maybe something in the October or February Half Terms which we could enrol the 9 year old in. We try to support our 3 daughters with child care but most of the grandchildren are grown up which leaves us with 9,11 and 15 year olds. We have not been asked to look after the 6 year and 3 year old great grandchildren - !!! We are firm believers that grandparents should be active in their grandchildren's lives and offer support where they can. I looked after my eldest granddaughter when she was a baby and toddler one day a week so my daughter could work. My granddaughter is now 26 and we are very close as she is the only one living in London. The others are scattered around Kent, Sussex and Essex.  
    • I do know the care home julia tant was moved to
    • Our cellar was damp constantly and we were told that there were many underground streams in Dulwich (which eventually end up in the river in Belair Park),  Agree it is connected  to the water table. We had all old plaster removed from walls and replastered, 
    • Andy did a good job for me doing up a flat - bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen for a very reasonable rate. He’s a top notch painter and decorator and can turn his hand to many other trades too. I’d highly recommend him - nothing was too much trouble.
