Hi everyone,


I just moved from Switzerland to East Dulwich a little less than 2 months ago and so far have struggled getting to know anyone (mostly because I?m shy in social situations) so I figured I?d try the forum. :) (I hope this is the right section for this.)


I?m pretty chill and would love to connect with people of all ages, backgrounds and interests, male or female, singles, couples, families, ? (I myself am 28, female, single, no kids but love children, currently no pets but absolutely a dog person).


are there any local ?meetups? where my awkward self could try and get to know people? or would anyone be interested in meeting for coffee or a walk in one of the lovely parks?


I?ve already checked meetup.com, but would prefer getting to know people who specifically live in ED since I?m a bit of a homebody and prefer to stay in or around this wonderful area as much as I can (other than work).


related to this, is anyone else likely going to be alone for Christmas and would like to maybe do something one or both days?




Cheers,

Tanja

Hi Tanja,


Welcome to East Dulwich!


It's not like me to throw myself out there, because much like yourself, I'm very socially shy & awkward. Just call me the Newt Scamander {Fantastic Beasts} of East Dulwich??? 😅


I like to spend the majority of my time around animals {I'm the girl behind a local & personal cat sitting service called "The Wingless Bird"}, but my background is in fashion, floral & web design. I'm very much a Libra so I'm easy to connect with.


Because I work so locally, I'm always around between 11-2pm on my lunch breaks. Count me in for a coffee meet up/gathering or if you just ever need a hand with anything, I'd love to be someone you can call on for help!


Warmest wishes,

Heather

I'm unsure if you work, or study, but volunteering is a great way to meet people and get out there? Also check book groups etc in What's On?

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
