Here are some of my memories from 09. The long summer that we thought would never end. Lawn tennis with Bunty and Amelia. Maurice's school chum Henry hanging around like a tress of felled willow all holiday. Mama's headaches and Father coming down to the country at the weekends.


Henry and Maurice both bought it at Ypres, of course, and Father's never been the same.

you big meanie Ted!


Alas I won't be able to make this year's - other commitments which I can't get out of. but 2008 was awesome


But I can't say clearly enough just how lovely this festival is. Great band selection, great environment, great cinema tent - only 5000 people tops. Even the loos don't get too bad

  • 1 year later...

so 2010 then - tickets on sale, 20+ acts announced, Wilco headlining


I'm already booked and good to go. Did I hear a rumour that they might be moving from Larmer Tree Gardens? Would be a real shame if they did - it fits perfectly and if they are doing it to get "bigger" will it be the same


Anyway... anyone else going ??

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
