After 6 months of living in the area I finally made it to the Dulwich Picture Gallery! Such a wonderful day and the neighbourhood looked wonderful. Really recommend the exhibition and urge locals to check out the gallery if you've yet to make the trip. The ?11 exhibition ticket pays for entry to the rest of the gallery too. It's around until 11th May so plenty of time to check it out. Also, was really impressed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff.


Check out my blog below for more :)

If you become a Friend of the Picture Gallery you get free entry to the Gallery and any exhibitions - a members' preview to exhibitions which includes (normally) an excellent introduction by the Museum Director, and a glass of wine! That's a deal well worth checking out, as you also can 'bring a friend' on your membership ticket.


And the current Hockney Print exhibition is very good.

The talks are also good - they run a film club there as well (although the Bigger Picture, monthly in the EDT is better - though this may be a biased comment) and they also host (from time to time) plays, concerts and even opera. It's a jewel in Dulwich's (Village, East and West) crown. And if you haven't, check out the Horniman as well. Both were up last year for Museum of the Year.

I just checked out the website and as I'm under 26 I could have become a friend for just ?18! Yep - seent he lectures the 'what is art' event coming up at the end of the month looks really interesting.


I have been meaning to check out the Horniman for a while!

Definitely worth being a member of FoDPG. Always have great exhibitions and it seems to be going from strength to strength. They could do with more younger members too! Here's some photo's from the Whistler and Hockney shows. http://flic.kr/s/aHsjUsjpXy

    • Trees are great - I plant and raise my own and petition the council to look at damaged specimens and plant more - but they need to be tended to when they’re in non-woodland spaces. I encourage all those who have a strong liking for trees to plant them, grow from seed etc. - much better for all than tapping on keypads. 
    • Would they keep until Christmas?
    • As a customer of DKH I have sympathy with the staff but this a matter for their trade union to address. The law states that temperatures in the workplace must be “reasonable”, and adds guidance that a reasonable minimum temperature is 16C for sitting down jobs like checkouts or 13C for physical work like packing and stacking.  The law also states that there must be easily readable thermometers installed in the workplace so that staff can check the temperature. When I still worked, these would be mercury thermometers red-lined at 16C, so staff knew when it was permissible to stop work if they were uncomfortable. However, I always worked in trade union represented jobs. I suspect (but certainly don’t know) that a lot of Sainsbury’s staff these days don’t bother to join the union, so are not protected (please put me right if you know otherwise).  In any workplace, you either take collective action to improve things or just accept the conditions imposed on you. If staff are in a union, they need to take a hand in making sure the union and its reps do their job in representing them.
    • £1,155 now raised. Would be great to get to £1,500 by 17th January when the Crowdfunder will close. His family and friends are hoping to do something for charity in his name...
