Welcome to SE22

Wow where did January go? It is probably me just getting old but this month has whizzed by.

As usual I have rounded up all the great events taking place in and around Dulwich. The events pages start on page 6.

Janine Winlaw writes about how bleak your garden can be in the winter but winter flowering shrubs can keep the beauty, colour and scent going throughout the colder months. Read more on page 12.

The Last Word goes to Natalie Chambers. Natalie is a Counselling Psychologist and this year has launched a collaboration with a nutritional therapist to offer group sessions and workshops. Find out more on page 32.

Come join us, put a smile on your face and make new friends. You probably already know dancing is good for the body and mind and emotions, generating the “happy hormones”. We just find it fun! As a bonus, the hall is lovely, spacious and airy, so particularly great in these (anti-) covid times.

Paint a clothed model with a focus on the portrait over two three-hour sessions. We give you a wide view and a closer portrait view so you can work out the framing for yourself. The model will at times be engaged in conversation in order to bring some animation to the face. Online Location: www.dulwichartgroup.co.uk/wednesdayafternoon-zoom-portraiture/

Even if you’re an inexperienced dancer, you can join in immediately and get the full benefit and joy of the event as all dances are first practised and then “called” as a reminder while we are dancing. And there are many people to partner you and show you how it’s done, should you need it. It’s very satisfying to complete a dance. No need to feel nervous or apprehensive. It’s a chance to meet new friends and have some fun. (We don’t bite!)

2ND FEBRUARY: Our caller tonight is Jane Lowe. We are fortunate that Jane is a Club member as she doesn’t call for just anybody! She also knows our strengths and can choose dances to suit our level of expertise, giving us an excellent evening. What’s to lose? Don’t miss out. Come and join us. You’ll enjoy it.

9TH FEBRUARY: It feels ages since we had Gwen Godwin as our caller but tonight’s the night! Gwen has many strings to her bow. Not only does she call English Folk Dances but also calls international folk dances and line dances. And she listens to our requests! So, we’ll certainly be in for an intriguing and unique evening.

16TH FEBRUARY: Tonight, the Club recognises St Valentine’s. And it is Sue Hastings who will be choosing the music and dances. As I have mentioned before, Sue is gaining quite a reputation and is in big demand to call at other Clubs. But we have her! Hooray! It’s going to be fun!

23 FEBRUARY: One of our most experienced callers will be calling tonight, Les Wallace. We know we will have a great evening with lots of laughs. Why don’t you join us? You’ll enjoy it.

Located in the beautiful setting of Belair Park, 1785 Belair House Bar & Restaurant we are serving a range of dishes perfect for a light lunch in the day and fine dining in the evening offering authentic north Indian cuisine to exquisite cocktails and fine wines.

UpliftingFloweringWinterShrubs

Garden Talk with Janine Winlaw | Instagram @janinewinlaw

Gardens often feel a bit bleak at this time of year, but winter flowering shrubs can keep the beauty, colour and scent going throughout the colder months. The flowers on these shrubs tend to have a particularly powerful perfume as they have to work harder to attract the few pollinating insects. Ideally find a space along a garden paths or in a pot or bed near a door so you can enjoy the gorgeous scent as you pass, dotting them around the garden, so that they don’t overpower each other. If there’s no scent, plant them near a window so that you can enjoy the pretty blooms from indoors.Here are my favourite winter flowering shrubs.

Daphne

With semi-evergreen leaves that give the garden structure, this must have-have shrub bursts into bloom in January with delicate clusters of highlyscented pink flowers. Daphne odora varieties have handsome leaves and Daphne ‘Perfume Princess’ is a lovely neat variety covered with clusters of pale pink flowers. They’re happy in full sun or partial shade, ideally planted somewhere where you can enjoy the delicious scent. The more upright semi-evergreen ‘Daphne Bholua’ is lovely underplanted with Cyclamen coum.

Edgeworthia

This fabulous shrub that flowers from February into early spring, makes a stunning focal point in the winter garden, placed somewhere in full sun or dappled shade that’s visible from the house. Closely related to daphne, varieties of Edgeworthia also have clusters of scented flowers, but yellow rather than pink, on bare stems.

Hamamelis

With delicate scented thread-like petals on bare stems, this shrub makes a showy focal point from December to March. H x intermedia ‘Jelena’ has beautiful golden orange flowers, while H x intermedia ‘Diane’ has stunning blood red flowers. Bring in a few stems for a scented flower display.

Sarcococca

This is another wonderful shrub for winter with a mass of honey-sweet scented creamy flowers. S. ‘confusa’ has dark glossy leaves while S. hookeriana varieties have mid green leaves and reddish stems. This is a good shrub for dry shade and associates well with other woodland planting.

Viburnum

Winter flowering viburnum such as V. bodnantense ‘Dawn’ and closely related Viburnum farreri both have clusters of sweet-smelling flowers on bare stems. They have incredibly pretty clusters of fragrant pink flowers (from November to March) and a neat upright habit. Plant them near a path in sun or part shade, where they can be appreciated up close. If you want an evergreen shrub, Viburnum tinus also comes into life around now with heads of pretty white flowers. V ‘Eve Price’ is a neat variety with pink tinged flowers opening from pink buds on reddish stems.

Slivers of Recovery: Meditate or Do Something Meditative

Fitness tips with Leanne Spencer | www.bodyshotperformance.com

Modern life can be stressful: job, kids, partners, friends, bills and the list goes on… That’s why today I would like to talk about something I call “slivers of recovery”. Slivers of recovery are small opportunities to give your nervous system a break. These small opportunities can really help to improve your wellbeing, particularly if you are feeling stressed or overworked. So, this month is all about doing something that is meditative – and that does not necessarily mean meditate!

Give Yourself a Break

For some people, this might be five or ten minutes (and sometimes longer) of meditation. There are some great apps out there like Calm and Headspace, or you could just set a timer and sit quietly, letting your thoughts come and go. But you might be surprised to learn that doing something that is meditative is not limited to just sitting and meditating.

So, if you are not ready to meditate yet, or you have and it has not worked, there are plenty of other things you can do for the same effect. It does not need to be for very long, either. Just a couple of minutes: enough time to give your eyes a break from the screen or give the nervous system a break from whatever you are focusing on. Now, what could these meditative activities be, I hear you ask?

Finding The Right Fit

Years ago, I worked with a lady who unknowingly did two things that were slivers of recovery. The first was that she would knit in between meetings. She was very senior – almost at the top – and would do this to gather her thoughts. And that was her sliver of recovery: just a few clackity clacks of those knitting needles. It had always been a hobby of hers, and she found that introducing it to the workday helped her to decompress and prepare for what was next. What’s more, she would occasionally go off and do retreats, such as oil painting, with other like-minded people. Of course, this is much bigger – a weekend or long weekend – but still a great example. As a result of doing both, she felt much happier.

What Will Your Meditative Activity Be?

The point I am making here is that she found something that was meditative for her, that was not meditation.

Another good example is going out for a 10-minute walk (again, it doesn’t have to be a long walk) without headphones and without listening to music or a podcast. Just let your thoughts drift.

So, what is that thing for you? Is it simply daydreaming out of the window? Is it folding paper, origami style, or reading maybe just a few pages of a book? Think about it, and how you can make it a regular part of your day. And see what difference this makes to your perceived stress levels and nervous system at the end of each week.

The Clinic by DR MAYONI

The Human Health Thrive Retreat

Hello and welcome! I wondered if you had ever been on a retreat at all? I love them - they are a fantastic opportunity for us to unplug, reconnect to ourselves and nature, and then plan on how to take some valid action. This is why we have put together the Human Health THRIVE retreat in April this year.

You see my intention is for every woman to understand how important her health is to her and all those around her. We know that after the retreat, every woman will walk away with a better understanding of how her body works with reference to herself.

We also know that we can help every woman understand how to upregulate her body’s health and functioning to optimum with at least 3 things that are instantly implementable.

Join me and my fantastic team on this incredible 4-day retreat designed to give you the space to actually process and put into practice techniques that will help you with your health and therefore help you live your best possible life.

You are undoubtedly busy running your own life as well as caring and nurturing for others too. You may have noticed some of those niggling symptoms that may herald your peri-menopause. But, when do you find the time and energy to find out more? Well, here at Human Health THRIVE we understand and have the best ways for you to implement this change.

I will be taking you through the 3-step process of Human Health THRIVE over the course of the retreat. We have factored in plenty of down time for you to rest and explore the incredible site, lose those different ‘hats’ you wear in your life and re-connect with your true self and your fellow woman as part of the incredible Human Health THRIVE Community. We also know you need time to absorb all the information you will be surrounded by, as well as work out how to make

tweaks to allow you to integrate your new found knowledge into your life.

Together, we help you understand what you want your best health for, then become body literate whilst being held by a community of likeminded women. All in the most incredible grounds of our retreat venue. Re-connect, re-educate and re-assess how you are going to implement these tools in your everyday life at home.

You deserve more joy, more life, more time doing what you want to do. You probably have some idea of what you need to do to but would like help on focussing on the actual techniques that increase our overall wellbeing. Your health and belonging are super important and they are a MUST HAVE. This is an invitation to nurture your sense of body curiosity, while resting and nourishing your spirit, too, all with a group of like minded women.

You see, I know that when a woman is in her optimal health, she can truly thrive and is unstoppable in all she wants to achieve. So, the real question is are you ready to connect to your inner soul, connect and live your healthiest and sparkliest life?

To book in or for more details please contact us at michelle@drmhumanhealth.co.uk or call us on 0208 054 9191. Payment plans are available too.

Dulwich Hamlet FC

Beardy American poet Henry Wadsworth

Longfellow once wrote “Thy fate is the common fate of all. Into each life some rain must fall.” Well after the New Year’s Day away victory against Dover, Dulwich Hamlet fans must have considered Henry’s dismal creed so much defeatist nonsense. But then Farnborough descended on Champion Hill like a mid-table nimbostratus and doled out a proper metaphorical soaking.

Your writer, buoyed by the prospect of the first home game of the new year, and encouraged by a forecast that promised intermittent showers only, hopped hopefully onto a bus destined for Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury’s. Portents on the journey weren’t good, with traffic on Lordship Lane moving like a salted slug and an empty Snapple bottle rattling erratically around the ankles of the P13’s passengers. On alighting East Dulwich’s favourite single-decker, this Hamlet fan was met with a penetrating drizzle that proved to be a persistent irritant all afternoon, moistening the large crowd as a blast on the ref’s whistle heralded the beginning of this ill-starred game.

After the first fifteen seconds you just knew this wouldn’t be The Hamlet’s day, with some Hampshire lad taking the kick-off pass short before waltzing through the Pink and Blues’ midfield and ripping a shot towards the home goal. That proved to be the beginning of a right Royal car-park of a spanking as an inspired Farnborough scored four unanswered goals in the first half. The Hamlet’s defence seemed so frozen manager Paul Barnes might well have considered applying copious Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream by way of a Princely palliative at half time. Whatever he did saw SE22’s finest come out slightly pinker and perkier, winning the second half 1-0. Inevitably it was Danny Mills who popped up to score the only goal of the half, where amidst a biblical storm an almighty Valhalla of a lightning bolt struck the only thing in the stadium taller than Danny (the floodlights) as the ball hit the back of the net. You’re Thor! We could barely watch the highlights.

A 5-1 defeat for a scratch Hamlet team a few days later in the Better Than the Turvey Cup left The Rabble wondering whether this was the

beginning of a traditional post-Christmas slump. But no, this team is made of different turkey gravy and a week after The Farnborough Calamity (one of Robert Ludlum’s lesser novels) they ladled out a 4-2 defeat to local rivals Welling in the darkest depths of Bexley.

We’re only halfway through the season and who knows how it will all end up. But this team is good enough to nibble away at the play-off places we reckon. So as the days lengthen and the weather turns clement, why not get yourself down to Champion Hill to see how it all pans out.

Fixtures, news and ticket details for both men’s and women’s teams can be found at: https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet. And all your pink and blue merch needs can be sated either at the stadium Megacontainer shop or via the Supporters’ Trust site at: www.dhst.org.uk. Up The Hamlet!

Financial Matters

With David Frederick FCCA | Marcus Bishop Associates | marcus-bishop.com

Understanding Financial Jargon

In his maiden speech of 2023, the Prime Minister, triggered the debate about the quality or poverty of numeracy skills in the UK. He announced a desired plan to introduce the study of maths up to the age of 18 for all pupils in Egland. This announcement reignited the attempt to address the UK’s poor standards in numeracy skills.

Some 8 million adults in England have the numeracy skills of primary school children. At present only 50% of 16-19 year olds study any maths at all. This is worsened for disadvantaged pupils, as 60% of them do not have basic maths skills at age 16.

In a global context, the UK is one of the only OECD countries in the world that does not require children to study some form of mathematics up to the age of 18. Two drivers seem to be underpinning the announcement by our PM. Firstly, the recognition that in an increasingly data orientated world with the prevalence of statistics, there will be a requirement for more analytical skills. Secondly, “…letting our children out into the world without those skills, is letting our children down”.

The merits or not, of these can be debated endlessly. However, the PM’s case moved on to link the study of maths to 18 with equipping our young people with the correct quantitative and financial skills to be confident to address finances in later life.

At this juncture, it may be argued that this is an erroneous leap. One may ask, what has the understanding of Pythagoras Theorem or trigonometry got to do with understanding mortgage deals or gilts?

It may be argued, the only common factor between them is the existence of numbers or digits. The mathematically minded reader may notice that this common factor is no more than the lowest common denominator, another concept from our study of mathematics.

Irrespective of one’s views or thoughts

on the PM’s announcement, research by Aviva has found “7 out of 10 UK adults are puzzled by financial jargon.” When explored further, the following findings came to light;

• “Less than two thirds (61%) of UK adults aged 18-24 have heard of the term “pension”

• Only three-fifths (57%) of UK adults aged 18-24 are familiar with the financial term “inflation”, while just a quarter (25%) have heard of “contents insurance”

• But 18-24s are most likely to be aware of the phrase “ESG fund”, compared to other age groups

• People who have heard of financial phrases often don’t understand their meanings”

Another revealing finding was 75% of UK adults are baffled by the term “the economy”. The Aviva study identified some reflective disparities between the ages. The under 25 year olds were less likely than other age groups to have heard of certain financial products and terms.

These included contents insurance, equity release, insurance premium, annuity and SIPP. This may be attributed to the fact that many under 25-year-olds had yet to consume financial products/services. However, it may also demonstrate their lack of preparedness for the world of everyday finance as an adult.

The findings of the Aviva study, begs the question how would the compulsory studying of maths to the age of 18 better equip future generations for the world of finance?

Beyond the study of Aviva, a wider concern and question that may be asked or tested across all age groups is, how many UK adults understand their payslips? If UK adults are challenged by their own payslip, is it any surprise that UK adults struggle with such concepts/terms as:

• Percentages

• Compound interest rate

• Net Present Value

• Decreasing cover

UK adults understanding of the economy and financial concepts/terms/products may require more than just extending the study of maths to the age of 18.

The Power of Pets

Education News from Alleyn's | www.alleyns.org.uk

Gentry-Peacock, Head of Infants at Alleyn’s Junior School,

Mercedes

tells us about the benefits of interacting with pets, even if they don’t live with you.

If you are lucky enough to own a pet you will probably already recognise how much they contribute to the wellbeing of your child, and this is backed up by science. Studies show that connecting with animals on a regular basis is life enhancing and lowers the stress hormone, cortisol while boosting your mood. All these benefits will help your child at school and give them the confidence to navigate the exciting yet sometimes tricky waters of academic work, friendships, expectations and busy schedules.

Mood

To a backdrop of worrying headlines about children’s mental health in the media, interactions with pets can play a substantial part in grounding children and alleviating anxiety. All humans need touch, and handling, stroking, or hugging an animal is likely to lower stress and anxiety. When your child is upset or worried a pet can provide comfort, and sometimes stroking their pet is all that is needed in that moment – animals don’t need words and sometimes neither do the children.

Physical Activity

Walking a dog gives a child the opportunity to exercise and have fun as they play fetch or football with their canine friend, as well as learn the responsibility of walking them on the lead. Dogs also provide a conversation starter as you meet new people on your walks, so your child will learn about social interaction too. Walks also provide you with valuable and uninterrupted side-by-side listening time, during which your child might open up about worries or just tell you how they felt about something that day.

Borrowing Pets

We don’t always have the time or space to own a pet, but don’t be put off! You may well have an acquaintance who would be happy to loan you their dog, and if not, there are websites just for this purpose. The same goes for other pets. Offer to

look after the class pet during the holidays, or post an offer on the East Dulwich forum to pet sit or dog walk – all accompanied by you, of course.

Engagement In Learning

A pet really can help your child with their homework and learning! Encourage your child to count how many throws their dog will fetch, design an obstacle course for their pet to encourage creative thinking or read to their pet – all these will make learning more fun, all while improving their empathy and ability to take responsibility for an animal, which in turns improves their confidence - a win-win!

In the right environment and given the right training, pets are great fun! They bring joy and companionship to children, who immediately see a pet as a friend, and the loyalty, innocence and entertainment a pet can offer a child, and indeed us grown-ups, is sometimes just what we all need.

Heed The Growl

Pets Corner with Leonie St Clair | www.londondogstraining.co.uk

Many owners, especially those new to dog ownership, can get anxious about growling. They wonder if this signals they have a vicious dog or an animal that has decided he wants to be in charge? Some of us become socially embarrassed and chastise our pet to mitigate those potential judgements and show we are ‘good, aware’ owners. Others feel offended that ‘bowzer’ has the temerity to answer back and feel compelled to take steps to show who is really boss round here. The dog may be labelled as ‘nasty’ or ‘iffy’.

To be clear, we cannot deny that growling may be a prelude to a full- blown aggressive response but the key is in that word prelude. A growl is a red alert signal, it’s the clearest warning your dog is worried, uncomfortable or riled, and it gives us an opportunity to go to action stations, to ensure safety and calm all round.

Of course, not all growls are even bad. Growling can occur in play, as in a game of tug; it can be a signal of pleasure when you stroke your dog and it may also indicate the dog is in pain. Getting to grips with different growls and what they mean is all part and parcel of successful communication with our dog and every dog is a bit different in how they do that. Growling tells us how the dog is feeling, not necessarily with conscious intent, but it is a valuable window to his emotional state and it is normal.

Sometimes behaviourists and trainers advise clients to ‘ignore’ the growling. I have to admit that this is not that helpful and even misleading, as growling is something we certainly need to notice. However, in this context what is really meant by ‘ignore’ is shorthand for don’t chastise your dog. The last thing we want to do is repeatedly tell the growling dog off, whether with a stern ‘no’ or a sharp jerk on the lead. None of those approaches is going to address the real problem and that is the strong emotions that produce the growling.

In response to chastisement the dog will quickly learn not to growl but the negative emotions involved will likely get more intense,

especially when the additional unpleasantness of owner punishment is added to the equation.

The key point is that growling mostly indicates the dog is getting upset about something. He may be frightened or unsure of toddlers; he may be threatened by a dog coming towards him out on a on a walk. He may be super frustrated because he is a young, hormonal male that feels a primal urge to duff up the competition. He may even get anxious or angered around his food or favourite toys, worried someone/anyone is going to take (steal) it.

Any dog can learn to limit or even stop himself growling, but he cannot control his emotions. So, what can happen next is the dog that has quietly seethed or agonised inside on multiple exposures to something he hates, fears or is frustrated by, flies off the handle and bites, seemingly ‘out of the blue’ or ‘without warning’.

Don’t ignore growling but don’t shut it down either. Instead, take a careful note about what is going on when your dog growls, does he look relaxed or tense? What is the context? If your dog is growling a lot in certain situations, seek advice from a dog professional.

Link Age Southwark

Link Age Southwark announces fundraising events to celebrate 30 years of supporting older people

Local charity Link Age Southwark is inviting you to join in its 30th birthday celebrations. The charity will be hosting a number of events to showcase its work alleviating loneliness and reducing social isolation for older people and those living with a diagnosis of dementia. These events will also help to raise valuable funds.

On Saturday 15 July, the Dulwich Picture Gallery will play host to the charity’s annual Sunset Soiree event which, this year, will feature an exhibition of photographs showcasing the breadth and diversity of the people involved with Link Age Southwark and its work. Tickets for this event will be available for purchase online shortly.

On Sunday 10 September, the charity is inviting everyone to take part in its inaugural ‘Sponsored Strollathon’. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Dulwich Park, the Strollathon will be a fun, familyfriendly, accessible event, with distances to suit all ages and abilities. Every Strollathon participant will receive a medal and T-shirt, refreshments, fundraising support and much more. Registrations will open soon.

More information about both events can be found at: www.linkagesouthwark.org/30thyear. You can also contact Link Age Southwark on: info@linkagesouthwark.org or 020 8299 2623 to register your interest or ask questions.

Funds raised will help Link Age Southwark continue its proud, 30 year track record of connecting the people they support with their local community and building lasting friendships between older people and volunteers. The charities services

include: befriending, social, exercise and activity groups and events, hospital, telephone and digital buddies; intergenerational work with local schools, specialist support for people living with mild to moderate dementia, and one-to-one support a range of issues from form filling to claiming pension credit.

Sophie Wellings, Chief Executive of Link Age Southwark said: “Our 30th year is a huge milestone for the charity. The work we do continues to be of real importance, particularly given the impact of the last two years and the current cost of living crisis. We’d love as many people as possible to get involved with these events to help mark our 30th birthday, and to support us in raising funds to ensure we can continue to support local older people for another 30 years.”

The Last Word – Natalie Chambers

What do you most value about the area?

It has to be the sense of community - my immediate neighbours who I’ve always known but whose support really came into its own over the last few years; relationships with the people that run our favourite shops; not to mention the friends we have established in the area.

What is your favourite place to eat?

Are you allowed to mention somewhere outside of SE22?! If so, then it’s definitely Miss Tapas whose excellent food is only surpassed by their excellent service. Within our postcode area, I had a delicious dinner with some of my favourite women at Yama Momo before Christmas. And I still miss the old Palmerston - historically all our family milestones were celebrated there.

Coffee or tea? Where?

I’m definitely a coffee drinker and I’m lucky to have Rise & Bloom on my doorstep who roast their own excellent coffee, some of the best in East Dulwich.

Where are you to be found on Saturday?

Saturdays usually involve a trip to North Cross Road market - Souvlaki Street is my favourite - and an amble round Peckham Rye Park. I’ve come to know every square inch of it since having children!

Cafe, pub or bar?

These days you’ll most likely find me in a cafe. I was a big fan of SECakery - their Saturday specials got us through lockdown! - but I’m excited to see what comes in its place.

Where’s your favourite place to walk?

Natalie Chambers is a Counselling Psychologist who, over the last ten years, has run a private practice based in London Bridge. This year she has launched a collaboration with a nutritional therapist to offer group sessions and workshops, supporting people to step away from restrictive beliefs and behaviours and confidently embrace their perfectly imperfect selves.

What has changed most during that time?

I have lived in East Dulwich for 15 years, and undoubtedly the thing that’s changed most in that time is the house prices! I’m so grateful that I moved into the neighbourhood when I did - I wouldn’t be able to afford it now.

I love a walk in Dulwich Woods, or across Peckham Rye park to Nunhead Cemetery. You can feel totally transported away from London for a moment, yet also catch glimpses of the city skyline. That’s what I like about our area in general - it doesn’t feel as urban as you’d expect for Zone 2, and we still have all the benefits of such close proximity to central London.

What is your favourite shop?

I’m a big fan of Rye Books. I’ve loved seeing it grow from its tiny inception on Upland Road to its established presence on North Cross Road. Really though, I’ve got a list of favourites - I couldn’t do without AJFarmer, SMBS or the Cheese Block - we’re spoiled for choice in East Dulwich.
