You're right, the music made it, that's what's missing from the normal Saturday market. They have music (in various forms) every week at the Herne Hill market which is amazing... Come on East Dulwich!! 🎵

I was a little disappointed with the shops on LL not really getting in to the spirit of it all - a few balloons here and there and St Christopher's Hospice with a stall outside trying to capture passersby,who clearly had more important, non charitable things on their mind (given the look on some people's face), attention.

I thought the whole day was meant to be focused on ED community and traders not just NCR... shame.

I spent all day with those wonderful ladies, hilarious isn't the word {I was their steward} !! Children were either amazed or terrified but the brilliant folk that were out and about were fantastic. I'm at a meeting with the Council Events team on Wednesday so any comments can/will be passed on-- good or bad

I think it wasn't advertised very well as it did actually go up lordship lane right to captured on the rye on pellet road by the patch which was the magnolia ! They were spin painting and I had my jams and jelly stall and we had carol singers etc and also push studio had a Christmas market open yesterday . Nothing to say apart from abit on the back of a flyer that they were on . Shame

The stalls were great down NCR but the music was just too loud for me. Something gentle in the background is lovely but my head was splitting by the time we'd walked the full length. Shame, my purse came home a lot fuller than it would have done if the decibels were a few less. Perhaps we were there at the wrong time.

I didn't know anything about a market at Push studios - would have gone if I'd known.

I went down on the off chance to have a pre Christmas browse to get me in the spirit. Wonderfully organised, if somewhat too loud for me. I too would have stayed longer had it not been so crowded and painfully ear drum ringing. Nevermind, can't please everyone.

I was at Football Millwall..


Would love to of seen Chris Shaw... Lovely man.. have not seen him for many many years...


Chris playing his Melodeon whilst standing up... Doing both at the same time can be a bit tricky :)


As compensation Millwall won, beating The Current FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic 2-1.

There were some cool elderly bearded people playing a weird english folk/sea shanty music. They were really good but struggled to get the mainly white, affluent middle class crowd to get dancing. I reckon if I'd had some more of that plum cider I would have been up for busting some moves.

Well, it was fun joining in with the dancing (at last I discover the true advantage of being stoney broke!)

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
