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 :)

Who are you?

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.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
