Why not come over to West Dulwich today (from 10am-4pm) to see how the other half live! There will be the most super farmers market and Christmas Fair, with live music, face painters, mulled wine and mince pies, Father Christmas in his grotto, the Snow Queen and her elf, delicious hog-roast and veggie roast, music by James Allen's Girl School and special offers in all of the shops!!!


Hurrah!


I shall be hiding in Cafe rouge on the au pair and my darling munchkins if anyone cares to join me for a glass of Chablis or two...

Oh Brendan, indeed - WestEastDulwich! I shall be looking out for you. I am just putting the final touches to my pedicure and then I shall parade around the shops sans enfants and purchase a selection of strangely shaped veg from the farmer's market. Michael, it will take more than a Winchester long rifle to fight me off with my enormous turnip!

If you didn't visit this fair today, you have missed out on something super special. My children loved the Santa in his special grotto at Thatch and Co, and the Ice Queen on stilts and her outragous elf were a scream! There was free Champagne in the garden centre (well this is West Dulwich darling) and the mulled wine flowed outside Threshers. Everyone was on top form and we even bought our Christmas tree and had our au pairs face painted (it took three of us to hold her down - perhaps we drank too much... hic!). I have bought some super organic bread and cheese, and the hog roast was perfect.


I am off for a quick lie down before supper (sigh).

    • Another fantastic job Rod.   My patio is still going strong! 
    • I'd like to add to these recommendations for Fernando's work... After reading all the positive reviews in this forum, we asked Fernando to help clear some overgrown areas in our garden. He did a great job - our garden is so much tidier than before and with his knowledge of plants he could prune them better than I would have done, so they will grow back healthier and in a good shape.  I'm very happy with his work - our home looks more well-cared for, and it was nice to meet Fernando too - as others have commented he is very kind and polite. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for gardening jobs.
    • Thanks all!  KateS - boulangerie Jade is a nice cafe, but they don't do fresh cream cakes. Their eclairs are filled with patisserie cream (a kind of custard), not fresh cream. Azalea- thanks and I've been to Bunhead Bakery (a Palestinian bakery) in Herne Hill a few times. There's a nice chocolate bun they do, which is amazing when then sauce is warmed up. But I haven't seen any fresh cream things there, only white icing. Maybe it's only on a certain day.  And the last time I checked, Ayres bakers in Nunhead don't do fresh cream things. These are the kind of fresh baked goods I'm thinking of....      
    • Warning to parents using the playground in Dulwich Park. My daughter and her friends found a bag of ‘crunchy powder’ in the children’s playground this morning around 11ish. They thought it was ‘popping candy’ and all tried some before seen with it. Request to parents using the playground - if you see plastics bags with suspect looking contents or powder on the floor in the playground or park: pick it up and throw it in the bin. Don’t walk past and think someone else will deal with it. The next person to walk by might be a child who could pick it up not understanding what it could be. Hopefully our daughter and her friends will be ok and it’s a lucky escape. But please be aware in case anyone else’s child may have found it before them.
