Dulwichmum


At least 10 people asked me today if business was quiet in my store . It just was so busy today and yesterday even though its a bank hol weekend.You must have been shopping around 12.30 when things did go quiet???Or maybe people just were desperate to stock up on what we sell. :))

Dear Dulwichmum


Do you think it wise that I expose my whereabouts to thousands of these lovely residents?.I would be a sitting duck. I just dont think we could cope with all the free advertising and extra custom it would bring. Could bring the house down. To give you another clue, we sell necesities not just luxuries. You probably even know me already, oh well the beauty of anonymity.


kind regards.

Dear Nero,


You make Stockport sound delightful, I shall consider it a future holiday destination. Mr Karter, I am intriged (did I spell that properly?), mmm necesities, that would mean that you work in Moo too. Are you Pat or Maggie then? Or perhaps you are the lovely dark haired lady who served me in Dr Boo earlier on? She did make me laugh...

Dear Dulwichmum


I am neither but I am competitor to parkhill properties . I am favourouble to smaller retailers, I lease to them but work in too but no way as big .I love this area and try to retain the mix. Maggie and Pat know me so do many others.


Oh well you could not guess right, never mind,


happy easter


love K

Hard at work gardening, cycling and boozing in ED this weekend. There was a fairly length Q outside W Rose around 1.30 today, as we wizzed past on the way to grotty garden centre to get some heavy duty gloves. And the traffic was fairly heavy on the way back too.

Just back from Antwerp. Nice weather, great muscles and frites and lovely beers in the Ood Arsenaal pub - met a charming Yorkie couple and their Flemish friends. OD'd on the Flemish masters and spent yesterday afternoon strolling around Antwerp zoo.


Got back this afternoon and bumped into Mr and Mrs Georgia Bullock over the salads at Sainsbos.


Just watching the telly - bad news of General Gordon in Khartoum I fear.

I went to South West France en vacance and so lovely it was that I sat by the pool and am now rather tanned. It was a weekend of fine wine and fine food - so much so that I have returned to work rather spaced from the experience. My french did dramatically improve though after imbibing the red of the region!

Dear Mr/Ms Nero


Have you read Pies and Prejudice by Stuart Maconie? I've always found him a bit annoying but book a great nostalgia trip for us northeners. I've just got back from sunny Normandy (so full of goat's cheese I can hardly breathe) where I should by rights have been reading Flaubert but was taken on a rosy tinted tour of Lancashire and Yorkshire- fabulous holiday read. Made me want to pick up a Wainwright and go trotting off up to the Lakes.......

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.             The house was lived in until Feb 23, and has been allowed to get like this.
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about.
