Hi All

If you are making plans around the Christmas period, highlight the 19th December on your calenders. Santa's Christmas parade will be in Dulwich, 12pm onwards. Park Hall Road, West Dulwich will host Santa at 12pm, bring the Children along and Wish Santa a merry Christmas.

Then join Santa at 3pm for the parade, he will meet you at the corner of Townley Road and Lordship Lane, where mums, dads, grandma and grandad can join in the fun. We encourage the children come along in fancy dress, Princesses, Pirates and Angels are all welcome. Santa and his helpers Hannah and Marilyn will then parade down lordship lane towards Santa,s Grotto in Zenoria Street, where you can greet Santa

(The parade will also be escorted by the Local police for Safety reasons)Santa and his helpers are CRB checked

This post will be constantly updated throughout November up to the 18th December( Just in case Santa is late, Lapland is quite far)

Santa's parade and supporting events are sponsored by the Retailers of West and East Dulwich. Panino d'oro and Harvey Wheeler from the village. Wishing you all a peaceful Christmas/Holidays/Yule from us.





Hi All just an update for the parade, due to poor weather conditions in Essex where Doris the donkey lives, they now cannot make it. We were told Today at 1pm, so we have not been able to find a replacement for the donkey, however the parade will still go ahead with alternative mode of transport for Santa.

So to the Children, mummies, daddies Grandads and Grandmas, we hope to see you from 230pm onwards at the Townley Road/Lordship Lane Junction. We are going to have a warm up with dancing before the parade starts, so please wear comfy warm dancing shoes

Apologies about Doris but Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans, if you have any questions, I am the one wearing the Snow White outfit and my dear friend Hannah will be dressed as an Angel.


Well another further update, we have found another Donkey called treacle, so events will still go ahead with Treacle the donkey.

LM it's hard to keep up to date at time as I'm sure you must understand...


hope that days' activities go successfully well for all those concerned (tu)

So how did it all go then? I saw santa and the donkey 'parading' up Calton ave at about 3pm, felt a bit sorry for him as the only people with him were two coppers. Was there much of a turn out in the end? I aint got kids myself but if I did I would have definitely come out to pay him a visit.

Yes, thanks for organising, and don't mean to be ungrateful but ... what happened to the road being closed off? And the carols and songsheets and nightlights in jars etc? We were up by Franklins and it was a bit 'blink and you'll miss it' when Santa came past. Maybe there was more going on at the other end.

Hi we were on the music truck at the end of the parade and I think Santa got his stride on and went zooming down the lane. It went really well. Thanks Dulwichmum glad you enjoyed it.The positive response from all was amazing and I am so glad to see so many turn out for the parade. We went for celebratory drinks after with my family and Friends, so good day all round

And Treacle the donkey was a delight and I must confess I had a bit of a crush on Dean, Treacle's escort, very very lovely man.:)-D

Well, I am... disapppointed...I was the 4' 5" hobbit of course (didn't need to dress up though - more wrap up)...but there and again...I can understand why you didn't see me...amongst all the other formidable characters...xx

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.

      I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
