I absolutely love this time of year. Christmas (which I love!) is over and we have a wonderful New Year to look forward too. December was a fantastic month with so much on locally including the wonderful Christmas Stocking event, which had the Village really buzzing. The Dulwich Charity lunch which took place at The Palmerston in early December, raised aover £2k for our local charity Link Age Southwark. There are plenty of events on this month too, so make sure you take a good look through the news pages, starting on page 8. The Last Word goes to Caroline Havers who is the new Chair of Link Age Southwark. Find out more on page 36. Until next month,

Garden Talk with Janine Winlaw
Your January to do list Giving the garden a tidy up, on a nice bright day, is a good way to start the year. Even in mid winter there’s plenty to do from pruning to planting – and any work put in now will pay off when the busier spring season arrives.
Prune • Prune tatty looking perennials left for winter interest such as sedum - avoiding new growth. And remove old hellebore leaves to make flowers more visible. Cut back ornamental grasses to within a few cm of the ground before the new growth arrives • Many deciduous trees, shrubs and hedges such as beech and hornbeam can also be pruned throughout the dormant period. (Exceptions are evergreens, tender plants and prunus species (cherries, plums, and apricots) as it makes them more susceptible to infection). • Cut roses back just above an outward facing bud and remove crossing or dead braches and thin weak stems – I remove branches thinner than a pencil. Prune to the height you want creating an almost vase like shape with an open centre. • Prune apple and pear trees while they’re still dormant. Likewise blackcurrant, redcurrant and gooseberry bushes to maintain a productive framework. • Climbers such as Ivy, climbing hydrangea and virginia creeper can be cut back now to keep them in check, and tie wall shrubs and climbers onto their supports. Wisteria can be cut now, pruning side shoots to 2 or 3 buds from the main frame. Tidy: • Rake up winter debris and leaves from your borders to keep them tid, deter slugs and allow spring bulbs to grow. Mulch to enrich your soil. • Keep hoeing off weed seedlings - they germinate surprisingly fast in warmer spells - and dig out perennials like dandelions. This will save a lot of time in the spring and avoid diseases that weeds harbour.
Plant And Plan • This is a good time to treat yourself to gorgeous winter flowering shrubs such as sarcococca, daphne, Viburnum x bodnantense ‘Dawn’, hamamelis or 12 | SE21 - January 2019

anything else that catches your eye in the garden centre. Ideally plant them near a path to fully enjoy the delicious scent of their blossom. If you notice anything that needs screening such as a shed or fence, consider planting climbers such as a winter flowering clematis ‘Winter Beauty’. • If the ground isn’t frozen, you can continue planting trees and shrubs including roses while they’re dormant – or move anything that’s in the wrong place. If you’re moving something large, take as much of the root ball and surrounding soil as you can, and enlist some help!
Other • Avoid walking on the lawn when covered in snow. Brush away worm casts – otherwise they’ll encourage weeds to settle. If you didn’t do it in the autumn improve the drainage of the lawn using a garden folk – you’ll notice the boggy areas. Wait until the lawn’s dried a bit and push the fork 10cm into the ground and wiggle it about then add horticultural sand over the area and work it into the hols with a stiff broom. • Hang fat balls and keep bird feeders topped up to attract birds – they find it hardest to find food and drink when the ground is frozen. And hopefully they’ll return to eat the pests in your garden. • Keep containers tidy, cutting back and removing debris regularly and mulching with grit. Water if they feel dry and put them onto feet or bricks to avoid them sitting in the wet. Janine Winlaw - Writer & Gardener Follow me on instagram @janinewinlaw

Food & Drink with Suzanne James
Lentil Stew with Burnt Aubergine & Tahini In November I decided to turn vegan (again) and I have found it much easier this time around, after 2 false starts earlier in the year. I know it isn’t for everyone, but lots of you are reducing the amount of meat in your diets, so this month I wanted to share a lovely recipe, which is inspired by a recent visit to Honey & Co – I have tweaked their recipe to include more vegetables, and it is now at the top of my list of vegan favourites. If you would like to try out some more of my vegan dishes then make sure you book seats at our Veganuary East Dulwich Supper Club on 11th January at fifty seven!
Makes 4-6 Portions For the stew • 350g Puy lentils • 1 small red onion, peeled & diced • 2 carrots, peeled & thinly sliced • 2 celery sticks, peeled & sliced • 3 whole cloves of garlic, halved • 1 Red pepper diced • 1 Green pepper diced • Small bunch of rosemary & thyme, tied • 1 Bay leaf • 4 tablespoons Olive Oil
To season the Lentil Stew • 1 tablespoon salt • A generous pinch of black pepper • 1 tablespoon ground cumin • 2 crushed garlic cloves Place all the ingredients for the stew (apart from the olive oil) together in a saucepan and add 1.5 litres of water. Bring to a boil, skim any foam that may have come to the top and turn down the heat to minimum. Add the olive oil and simmer until soft. This will take about 30-40 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with the salt, pepper, ground cumin & crushed garlic. Set aside and allow to infuse for about 20-30 minutes before removing the rosemary, thyme & bay leaf. 14 | SE21 - January 2019
You can serve the stew straight away or reheat it later. It is delicious as is, but even better with the following:
Burnt Aubergine • 2 Aubergine • Juice of half a lemon • Pinch of salt Take the aubergines whole and place over a gas flame or under a very hot grill and burn until the skin is charred all over and the flesh is soft. You will need to turn them every few minutes. Once they are soft, remove to a serving plate, slit open and, using a spoon scoop out the soft white flesh, season with lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Thick Tahini Dip • 100g Tahini paste • 1 clove of garlic, crushed • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice • A pinch of cumin • ¼ tablespoon salt • 100ml water Mix everything together to form a thick paste. If it is too thick for your liking, you can add a teaspoon or two of water to dilute.

Fitness tips with Leanne Spencer
What does an ideal week of exercise look like?
T
his is a question I get asked a lot, and obviously it varies from person to person, and you need to make it personal. It needs to work for you. You know that old question, what’s the best type of exercise? Well, it’s the one that you can maintain. Consistency is key. Here’s what an ideal week looks like, taking out all the personal nuances of you and I - low intensity exercise, medium intensity exercise, and high intensity exercise: • Low is activities like walking. It’s while I’m standing here in front of the camera. It’s while I’m walking around. It’s your basic daily life movement, so you should be doing that on a relatively constant basis seven days a week. • Moderate activity three to five times a week. That could be a brisk walk, a light jog, something that just gets your heart a little bit higher, but it’s not high intensity. • High intensity exercise two to three times a week. That could just be for two minutes or 10 minutes a day, getting your heart rate up. Examples would be sprinting, spinning, lifting heavy weights, HIIT, a dance class, a Zumba class, anything like that. That’s all going to be really important, but the key is finding something that you can maintain, and it’s also finding something that you find really enjoyable, those two are inextricably linked. I like to mix it up. I do my boxing sessions regularly. Plus we’re in the process of making a little gym in the garden, and we’ve got one of these boxing figures that you can punch. We’ve got a pull-up bar. I’ve got a wallboard, which is a big board that you can bang up against the wall. I’ve got a kettlebell out there, but also I do look for bodywork exercises, so you don’t need any equipment. You just need a space about 4' x 8' in which to exercise, but ideally something a little bit bigger. Also, think about doing some of your exercise, whether it’s the low, medium or high, outdoors. Get the benefit of being in the sun, or at least in the fresh air. Try going barefoot, earthing
18 | SE21 - January 2019
yourself onto the ground as well, which is what I do, so you’ve got that connection with the earth. Just think about how you can blend exercise with movement. Exercise would be a planned session, it doesn’t have to be very long. It can be 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30, or an hour if you like, but actually, shorter, sharper, focused sessions can often be more effective. Exercise is contrasted with movement, which is just your daily life movement that I talked about at the start. Don’t mistake the two of them. Movement isn’t exercise and exercise isn’t movement. In other words, you couldn’t just exercise for an hour, and then sit down all day thinking you’ve ticked that box, because you haven’t. You’ve got to blend the two. Think about ancestral movement, which you’ve heard me talk about before. A caveman didn’t sit still, run frenetically, and then come back and sit still. They were up and at ’em all day foraging, scurrying, chasing, hunting, sharpening tools, washing, and so on. That’s the type of movement that we want to emulate as model day humans.

Pets Corner with Leonie St Clair
Introducing new pets in the home
N
ew Year is a time many of you will choose to introduce a new pet to your family group and quite often that involves an existing pet cat or dog. In this article I want to give some quick tips on how to make introductions and settling in as smooth as possible. I am focussing on cats and dogs. Clearly pet prey animals like mice, rabbits and hamsters will need a different approach and unless you have an unusually laid back cat or a dog with zero prey drive, physical introductions are best avoided.
Controlled, slow introductions It is advisable that animals are not simply placed together in the hope they will sort things out between them. Some get away with this strategy but it is risky and could lead to injured pets or worse. A negative experience on first meeting can lead to long-term fears and damage a potentially good pet relationship forever. Try not to rush introductions. Over a week plan brief but positive meetings at a controlled distance, perhaps using a glass barrier at first. If body language from both animals is calm then gradually decrease distance until there is a quick nose to nose greeting.
Use scent cloths First, aim to keep the animals in separate rooms until they have become familiarised with each other’s scent. Gently stroke clean cloths over the body of each animal and then leave out, or hanging at nose level for each animal to sniff and investigate. Repeat at various times of the day. Over a few days start to dab the scent of the new pet around the house, onto skirting boards, furniture and so forth. Once each animal has ceased to show much interest in the scent of the other it is time to move on to in sight exposures.
First meeting Put adult or adolescent dogs on a short but loose lead, ensure they are exercised first. Give the cat an escape route from the introduction space and accessible high vantage points from which to view the dog/pup at leisure. Baby gates can be useful for keeping dogs and cats apart. If you have a young puppy a pen can help your cat to be confident 22 | SE21 - January 2019

about investigating, protecting your pup from an angry paw swipe. Do stop your dog/pup fixating on or trying to chase the cat. Use high value treats to reward your pup for calm behaviour keeping them focussed on you. Cats find prolonged eye contact threatening, so developing a ‘watch me’ cue with your dog is handy.
Resources and layout Look at the geography of your house and plan how you can keep pets and the things they value most separate until they can meet in a shared space calmly. If you have a cat flap the cat needs to be able to use this without being ambushed by your dog/pup. Ditto litter trays. Canines will happily try to snaffle cat food, cat poo and cat litter, make sure the dog does not have access to these and that your cat can use them without interference or being stared at! Give new dogs a safe space to eat undisturbed and a calm resting area, initially even shut in a different room from the cat.
Obedience Whether the dog is meeting a new cat or vice versa, being able to have some control over the dog’s behaviour with a few basic cues, like ‘sit, ‘leave’ and ‘watch’ will help facilitate smooth introductions. Leonie St Clair - www.londondogstraining.co.uk

Education News from Alleyn's
Strictly Speaking Ruth Seager, Acting Head of Dance at Alleyn’s, tells us about the benefits of getting your child involved in dance.
Y
ou only have to watch Strictly Come Dancing to realise what a positive impact dance has on our physical and mental well-being. The enjoyment of the performers is clear, and whether the celebrities get through to the finals or not, the joy on the faces of both dancers and audience after each number is a reminder of the ‘feel-good’ factor we experience when we dance, and our children can experience this feeling too, even if it is without the studio audience!
The Benefits Dance is a social art form and whether it is ballroom, hip-hop, or classical Greek, it is a wonderful way to meet new people with shared interests. Dance builds confidence and provides a platform for children to express themselves in a safe, supportive and creative environment. Not only does it improve children’s confidence, but it also equips them with invaluable life skills, which are transferrable across all areas of life. Your child can learn to: • Work in a group • Speak and listen effectively • Be a team member and also a leader • Give and receive feedback
Keeping Physically And Mentally Fit It is no surprise that dance is a great way to keep fit, both from a physical and psychological point of view. The element of fun and being part of a group means that, for some children, dancing is a more enjoyable way of exercising. Dancing not only exercises us physically but also helps with co-ordination and mental agility. There is a huge sense of achievement that comes from facing and overcoming challenges, working as a team, heeding advice and memorising moves, not to mention being able to smile and glide through a dance, even when we are physically exhausted! In an ever-evolving technical world, dance is a fantastic way for our children to leave behind the busyness of everyday life and simply be ‘in the moment’. 26 | SE21 - January 2019
The Next Step Find out which genre inspires your child. Generally, commercial, street and contemporary dance are popular with teenagers and the more narrativebased styles such as Musical Theatre appeal to younger children. Once you have found your style the ‘keeping fit’ part is easy! Attending weekly classes will result in visible improvements in your child’s physical skills, including flexibility, posture and strength as well as providing benefits from a cardiovascular point of view. There are a number of ways your child can become involved with dance. For example, there are weekend academies which offer Dance, Singing and Comedy/Drama classes and Clubs and co-curricular classes in schools are a great way to start and to make new friends. There are plenty of classes of all types locally and in central London. Try looking on local internet forums such as Netmums, Hoop or the Around Dulwich website. Good luck and… keep dancing! www.alleyns.org.uk

They will play piano trios by Haydn, Mendelssohn and Schumann. Adult/Friend tickets include a glass of wine.

Horniman Noses Until Sunday 17 March Artist Joshua Sofaer has an interest in ‘the nose’ which has led to a body of work that plays with absurdity and disguise.

FREE
Yamal: The Stream of Life Until Sunday 6 January 2019
The first exhibition in our new arts space, The Studio, explores our deep-rooted relationship with the natural world.

The exhibition includes a display of 100 objects from the Horniman’s anthropology collection which have been selected by Korda and the Collective. The Studio was developed as part of the Horniman’s wider anthropology redisplay to provide a platform for our social arts programme that will feature exhibitions and events. FREE

Financial Matters with David Frederick
Do you have a mobile appetite?
I
apologise to those readers who were expecting a discussion of eating on the move. In short this is a habit not to be promoted and it will not be discussed any further. However, if you are one of the growing army of mobile phone app lovers, read on. Mobile phone apps usage is fast becoming a feature of our daily life. Whatever, our likes or dislikes, the arrival and the use of mobile apps are here to stay, at least until the next phase of technology development. As we welcome in 2019 and begin our grand planning for the year ahead, let’s take a look at how these apps can help our planning. It is almost fair to state that an app exists for almost every facet of our daily lives. Some readers, like Petra Boucher, a local Virtual Business Manager, who admits to being an avid user of apps across Apple Mac devices, already use some apps in their daily life. The number of apps are too great to mention but a selection of some of the more popular apps used by Petra and other readers include: • Zoom • Google Mail • Google Calendar • Basecamp • Google Drive • Grammarly Apps can be effectively used to manage our personal planning just as much as business planning. In yesteryear, we would write our plans down on one or two pieces of paper on 1st January and then spend the rest of the month, if not year trying to retrieve it from wherever. However, help is at hand, if like me that was your experience. Vincent a generation Z (born after 1993) local finance professional demonstrated the seamless beauty of One Note. An app that allows you to write notes on your mobile phone and it will appear on other devices and vice-versa. If you are not a generation Z, this is not modern day magic, it happens via synchronisation. A similar name to the
34 | SE21 - January 2019
Olympic sport in the pool. No longer will you ever lose your thoughts and musings again. Imagine, that great idea that springs out at night just as you are about to fall asleep, can be quickly jotted into the mobile. It can now be retrieved safely in the morning, unlike the current practice of trying to recall what was I thinking about last night? Petra shared her three favourite apps with us: Dropbox is a central place to save all your files and folders. It actually works great for teams, but even as a small business it works as an excellent storage facility. Last Pass is a utility that stores and saves all your passwords to all your accounts, so you can log into your accounts quickly and easily. Despite the benefits of such an app, some of us may be less excited by this feature for a various reasons. Asana is a project management software and is a key tool in Petra’s business. “I use Asana every day as a to-do tracker and goal setter. Regardless of when I add a task and what device I use to do so, this is immediately available on all my other devices.” Vincent identified Moneybox as a useful app for financial planning and that provides a convenient approach to save and invest. The app rounds up your purchase to the nearest whole pound and invests the difference into a stocks and shares ISA. However the monthly costs of the app should be considered before rushing to use it. A regular visitor to the Dulwich shores is financial fitness fan Addy, who champions Money Dashboard as a useful app to help people take control of their spending in 2019 and beyond. Readers, you have now had your appetite whetted to undertake effective paperless personal planning and control in 2019.

The Last Word – Caroline Havers What do you most value about the area? I love the green spaces in and around Dulwich, yet can get to central London quite easily. I live down a little alleyway that is tucked away and hidden from view.
The one thing you couldn’t do without? It is not very environmentally friendly to say my car, but I drive a yellow VW beetle which I love!
The most famous person you’ve met? We have several famous people who support us at Link Age Southwark and I have been lucky enough to meet Jenny Eclair, Jo Brand, Rob Glenister and Edmund de Waal.
Do you belong to any groups? I am a member of the choir at St Barnabas which is a wonderful group to be a member of, we rehearse on Friday evening and after singing great music we socialise over a bottle of wine, or two!
Describe your perfect weekend On Saturdays I enjoy a leisurely breakfast either at home or brunch in any one of the great cafes in Herne Hill and East Dulwich. I have two Jack Russells so any weekend involves a walk in the park and after pottering about at home, I enjoy the theatre or eating with friends. I sing with the choir on Sunday morning and will go out to enjoy an exhibition on Sunday afternoon. I often go for a drink with friends on Sunday evening to bring the weekend to a sociable end. I am a long time resident of Dulwich and have recently been appointed as Chair of Link Age Southwark, a local charity providing befriending services and 24 groups for older people in Southwark.
How long have you lived in the area? I have lived in Dulwich for 25 years
What brought you here? Schools! My daughters were very lucky and were able to walk to school every day of their school career at Dulwich Village Infants school, The Hamlet and then Alleyns.
What has changed most during that time? One of the lovely things about Dulwich is that things do not change that much, more traffic and different shops but otherwise changes are gentle enough that I have not really noticed them. 36 | SE21 - January 2019
Your favourite place for a night out? In a relaxed restaurant eating interesting food, with my partner and friends, for example Spinach on Lordship Lane
The best meal I’ve ever had.. Pad Thai sitting at a shady table with my family and some friends on the beach on Koh Samui in Thailand paddling our feet in the sea.
Where’s your favourite place to walk? I walk a lot in a Dulwich Park with my dogs and love it because I know it so well, but also how different it can be depending on the time of day and season of the year.
