Find a holiday cottage near the sea with an open fire - should be much chepaer in the winter - and go for walks along the beach then home to warm up. We did that last Christmas near the new forest and it was great fun. Lots of fresh air and rosy cheeks - take wellies, scarves, hats, gloves etc etc. Make sure it has a DVD player, as you need something to entertain the childlren once it gets dark (at about 3.30!). Even better if you can find one with an indoor pool, but there is sure to be a local leisure centre if not.

We've gone to Ickworth House Hotel in Suffolk and it's fabulous for children. There are other hotels in the group in various locations, but this is the only one we've been to. I agree with Fuschia that Christmas may be really expensive. You can also try babyfriendlyboltholes.com to search for cottages. I've never used this website, but they seem to have loads available.


Hope that helps.

      Family Photography

      By dianamaru · Posted

      Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).

      Be careful in local shops

      I don't! But I've also taken to calling myself David, as it seems to shorten the odds of achieving something in life. It's not King Dave, Dave Lloyd George, Dave Hockney, Dave Bowie or Dave Hasselhoff is it? And I'm not sure Michelangelo would have had such success if he'd called his sculpture 'Dave'.

      Where to recycle shoes & trainers please?

      By ed_pete · Posted

      I think there is still a shoes/clothes recycling bank outside of North Dulwich station.
