I did almost all of my Xmas shopping locally last year and will try to this year. Roullier White was where I spent the most - bought some beautiful scarves and French perfume, also Nina Christie for jewellery (bought some wonderful earrings for my daughter).It's also less stressful than shopping malls and there is a wonderful atmosphere on Lordship Lane at Christmas.

xxxxxxx


Forgot to say, Chener's have a great new (ish) section at the back of the shop for children's books.


You are likely to be very tempted, though :)

Just to add our support for shopping locally this Christmas. The Heber School Parents & Friends Association has been asking local businesses to donate raffle prizes for our Christmas fair next Saturday (see the events listings for details) and we have been blown away by the generosity of the local traders on and around the lane. We know times are tough but they have all dug deep and supported their local primary school.


We will do a separate post thanking everyone shortly but in the meantime we at the P&F intend to do all our shopping in East Dulwich this year as a more practical way of expressing gratitude!

GGPTA would like to echo the sentiments of Heber P&F above. We too ask for raffle prizes twice a year (at our Summer and Christmas fairs) and try to target those businesses where the school parents and teachers shop/eat/drink. We recognise that there are lots of schools and other charities doing the same and the good grace and generosity of those local traders is really gratifying and much appreciated, it makes us very proud to be part of this community.


Best wishes for a busy, profitable Christmas and New Year from GGPTA to those business on and around Lordship Lane, Northcross Road, Melbourne Grove and Bellenden Road.

We've just picked up some gorgeous lamp shades for our house, and dish cloths as stocking fillers From lush designs where soup dragon used to be - really beautiful designs and looks different.


This year we're doing all our shopping locally to support all the local businesses that we love.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
