I did almost all of my Xmas shopping locally last year and will try to this year. Roullier White was where I spent the most - bought some beautiful scarves and French perfume, also Nina Christie for jewellery (bought some wonderful earrings for my daughter).It's also less stressful than shopping malls and there is a wonderful atmosphere on Lordship Lane at Christmas.

xxxxxxx


Forgot to say, Chener's have a great new (ish) section at the back of the shop for children's books.


You are likely to be very tempted, though :)

Who are you?

Just to add our support for shopping locally this Christmas. The Heber School Parents & Friends Association has been asking local businesses to donate raffle prizes for our Christmas fair next Saturday (see the events listings for details) and we have been blown away by the generosity of the local traders on and around the lane. We know times are tough but they have all dug deep and supported their local primary school.


We will do a separate post thanking everyone shortly but in the meantime we at the P&F intend to do all our shopping in East Dulwich this year as a more practical way of expressing gratitude!

GGPTA would like to echo the sentiments of Heber P&F above. We too ask for raffle prizes twice a year (at our Summer and Christmas fairs) and try to target those businesses where the school parents and teachers shop/eat/drink. We recognise that there are lots of schools and other charities doing the same and the good grace and generosity of those local traders is really gratifying and much appreciated, it makes us very proud to be part of this community.


Best wishes for a busy, profitable Christmas and New Year from GGPTA to those business on and around Lordship Lane, Northcross Road, Melbourne Grove and Bellenden Road.

We've just picked up some gorgeous lamp shades for our house, and dish cloths as stocking fillers From lush designs where soup dragon used to be - really beautiful designs and looks different.


This year we're doing all our shopping locally to support all the local businesses that we love.

    • I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided. 
    • does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
    • MaryT, I’ve contacted the Dulwich Hill councillors several times in recent years, always copying them both in. I have never had an acknowledgment from Jon Hartley (not even an automated response or out-of-office) nor had any response or engagement from him regarding the issue raised.   On each occasion, only Maggie Browning responded (she uses an out-of-office if she is away). The last time, I received no response from either for 3 months, until Maggie Browning emailed me to apologise for not responding and asking if the problem had been resolved.
    • The  Kwasi effect is being considered.
