We've got so many amazing local independent businesses in East Dulwich and I just wanted to sing my praises to Dulwich DIY who have bailed me out on numerous occasions. I've always had a soft spot for hardware shops such as DD, they really do have just about everything. Foxes digging up my window boxes? No problem, scoot to the rescue. Run out of battery powered tea lights on Christmas eve? Don't fret they've got your back... Lock on the bathroom door bust? I could go on :D This is not an advert for them for any that might suspect, I'm just a Dulwich DIY lover who wanted to share the joy with a painting that I thought some locals might enjoy.

Thankyou so very much, I must paint more shops and I don't doubt the other DIY shops are good, I'm just partial to this sort of stlye and always have been, a family holiday growing up wasn't complete without a trip around independent hardware shop that stocked everything under the sun and I've not once come out of here without what I went in for!

Thanks Annie, I do actually, I've got a few other shops, most of the local pubs, some of the parks and a street scene too, though it saddens me we won't have Franklins Farm shop to enjoy anymore, at least it is immortalised here from a distance! Any more suggestions of loved places do let me know. Here's a couple more

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
