Davis Cup Fever with Tim Henman at The North Dulwich Lawn Tennis Club

N

orth Dulwich Lawn Tennis club hosted Danny Sapsford and Andrew Richardson from the Bright Ideas for Tennis organisation back in June 2014 for a fundraising day.

Danny Sapsford founded the organisation, which operates by visiting tennis clubs across the UK aiming to increase membership numbers, raise levels of participation and improve tennis clubs' facilities by providing coaching from Davis Cup players, followed by those players then playing a Doubles exhibition match at the end of the day North Dulwich Lawn Tennis Club's (NDLTC) aim for its fundraising day was to help with the cost of funding the resurfacing of the club's two shale courts to make them all-weather with flood lights.

NDLTC raised more funds than any of the other clubs that had hosted Bright Ideas for Tennis over the Summer, and for that achievement we won the further opportunity for fundraising by hosting Tim Henman, Danny Sapsford, Luke Milligan and Jamie Baker on Saturday, October 11th.

It was a roaring success with 250 people in attendance, and a memorable experience for all who came for coaching or to watch the doubles exhibition match and enjoy the fantastic BBQ. This time we did not have the glorious sunshine that we had in June, but we were very fortunate as rain only disrupted 15 minutes of the day.

Nobody needed to travel to the All England Club at Wimbledon, as North Dulwich was playing host!!

Besides Bright Ideas donating a signed Tim Henman racquet, NDLTC was extremely lucky to have had several sponsors for the day: KFH estate agents donating an iPad mini for the raffle, as well as Haart and Daisylets, P M Bennison Heating Engineers, William Rose Butchers, The Old Nuns Head, Costco and ESPH. Many other local businesses very generously gave donations of raffle prizes (full details of all sponsors and donations are on the NDLTC website).

Very many thanks to all helped on the day, and for everyone who attended who made the day so memorable and successful.

Finally, very many thanks to Bright Ideas For Tennis and to Danny Sapsford.

All four guest players were absolutely charming, friendly and spoke very highly of the day and the club, describing the club "as having a friendly, community feel ... it is a real tennis club."

The doubles exhibition match that the four Davis Cup players played for us was amazing.

Tim was also challenged to do Keepy-Uppy with a tennis ball, and scored a grand total of 74 as we all watched in awe.

From farting and fish-fingers, to croquet playing and cake baking. Six members of the East Dulwich Women’s Institute appeared on the Sky 1 show, Ashley Banjo’s Secret Street Crew last month. If you were anywhere near The Actress at 6pm on October 5th, you will have heard the whole pub erupting into applause for the EDWI members turned Street Dancers as they made their television debut. Although the show was a little clichéd in places, everyone was genuinely rooting for the ladies, and all their hard work truly paid off in a fantastic final performance.

The morning after the big WI reveal, the Around Dulwich team met for their weekly editorial meeting at ToastED. This is where we discuss news items, features and upcoming events for the site. We meet here for the great coffee, superb service, and free wifi. Although, we are always on the lookout for new spaces to meet, so if you know of somewhere around Dulwich that would be a great venue for our next team catch-up, then email sarah@arounddulwich. co.uk or tweet @arounddulwich and we may even include it in our next feature!

Hectic Host

A Proper Grilling

F

ireworks night is upon us and whilst most of us will sensibly visit organised firework displays, it is a great opportunity for friends to get together for some outside foodie fun, I am thinking bangers rather than bangs. So do not pack away the barbecue just yet, you can still use it over the winter months and in fact it makes more sense to grill outdoors even during the dark days. Grilled fish is delicious but an olfactory challenge if you are having guests over, especially when it is too cold to open the windows so outside grilling is the answer.

I am so taken with my gorgeous red charcoal burner stove by Prakti UK from Rye Books on Upland Road that I cannot wait to show it off.

Practical, simple to use and although it fits easily in a kitchen cupboard it is too stylish to be stowed away. Whilst my addiction to my Prakti might entertain my guests, who laugh as I pop on my puffa - Scott of the Antarctic style - and grab a tray from the fridge, they are quickly won over by the delicious and speedy results.

As the basis for a casual week-night meal with friends I have discovered the joys and ease of grilled potato. Take large potatoes and cut into slices just over a centimetre thick. Par boil you potatoes first for three minutes, you can do this the night before, any small off-cuts set aside for stock as you only need the large flat pieces.

Coat thinly with olive oil and grill on your preheated charcoal burner until golden brown on each side. Now, this is where the fun starts. The toppings you can apply are limited only by your imagination. You could simply sprinkle with sea salt and rosemary, or lemon juice and thyme, dunk into delicious homemade ketchup or you could make a proper meal of it.

Herring is one of those fish that is best grilled outside. For a cool Scandinavian vibe grill the herring fillets in their skin, once cooked the skin should peel away and then you can put one of your friends to use removing any obvious bones.

Flake the fish with a some raw onion and place on top of your grilled potato slices with a little

12 | SE22 - November 2014

crème fraiche sprinkled with fresh dill. Serve with vodka from the freezer.

Grilled fennel works wonderfully well with salmon, smoked or otherwise. Add finely chopped grilled fennel to your potato slices with slithers of smoked salmon. Or mix the fennel, with some torn orange pieces and flaked grilled salmon and pour over with a little melted butter.

You can make a deliciously smoky ratatouille style topping using vegetables from the fridge; aubergine, pepper, courgette, onion combined with grilled tomato. The tomato will cook quicker than the other vegetables, use tomatoes which are not too ripe. Pour off any excess water from your mixture and top with a little crumbled feta or goat’s cheese.

Get your coats on and get cooking!

Food & Drink This Month

Oysters Thermidor

English Truffles are in season from now until February, or even March with a bit of luck. By weight, truffles are one of the most expensive foods in the world, but not without good reason. Truffles will infuse their odor and flavor to everything around them so it is really important to match them with the right ingredients. Be careful never to bury the flavor of the truffle with strong flavours or overwhelming aromas.

Always try to use fresh truffles as soon as you can, and certainly within 3 days of purchase, and if your recipe calls for a peeled truffle make sure you save the peel to use in another recipe! If like me you have a passion for these amazing little fungi you might like to think about going on a ‘Truffle & Mushroom Hunt’ with Melissa Waddingham, also know as “The Truffle & Mushroom Hunter”, it’s definitely on my bucket list! See truffleandmushroomhunter.com for more details.

Serve these seasonal treats in their shells with a cream sauce, and samphire alongside. Serves 4

Now the seas are cold scallops, muscles and oysters are going to be at their very best. Native oysters will have been left on the sea beds to procreate over the summer, but from September they are ready to harvest and they will be around now until the end of Mach. There are oyster fisheries all around Britain – particularly well-known beds lie off Essex, Kent, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall, the west of Scotland and Ireland. Each region's produce differs in flavor so if you get the opportunity do try different ones to see which you prefer!

In Season this month Fruits, Nuts & Fungi Apples, medlars, pears, quince, raspberries, chestnuts, horse mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, truffles, walnuts, wood blewits.

Vegetables & Herbs Artichoke, beetroot, Brussels tops, cabbages, cardoons, carrots, celeriac, celery, chard, chicory, endive, greens, kale, leeks, lettuce, onions, parsnips, potatoes, pumpkins, salsify, swede, turnips, nettles, watercress.

Meat & Game Wild goose, grouse, hare, mallard, partridge, pheasant, rabbit, wood pigeon.

Fish & Shellfish Code, crab, lobster, mackerel, mussels, oysters, prawns, scallops, sea bass, sprats, squid, whiting.

14 | SE22 - November 2014

Ingredients

• 24 native oysters in their shells • 55g (2oz) Butter • 1 shallot, finely chopped • 1 tbsp vermouth • 140ml (4 ∞ fl oz) chicken stock • 140ml (4 ∞ fl oz) fish stock • 140ml (4 ∞ fl oz) double cream • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard to taste • 2 egg yolks • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley • 55g (2oz) parmesan, finely grated • To serve 200g (7oz) samphire

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 200oc, 400of, gas mark 6.

Open the oysters carefully, retaining the juice. Cover them with a clean cloth but do not refrigerate.

Melt the butter in a pan and add the shallot. Cook gently without colouring.

Add the vermouth, oyster juice and stocks. Cook until the volume of liquid has reduced by two thirds.

Add the cream and cook until the volume has reduced by half.

Shuck the oysters, pry them from the shells and set aside. Clean the deeper shells and lay them on a tray. Put a little of the sauce in the base of each shell. Lay an oyster in each shell and transfer to the oven for two minutes. Preheat the grill to hot.

Stir the mustard into the remaining sauce. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the egg yolks, followed by the parsley and half of the parmesan.

Take the oysters out of the oven and pour a little sauce over each one. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan over the top.

Cook the samphire in a pan of boiling salted water for 1-2 minutes, or until tender. Drain well.

Meanwhile grill the oysters to glaze them. Serve with the samphire.

Enjoy!

Fitness Tips

BeneFITS of...

Exercise for Children Get Up and GO!!

be the tools that are the key to a lasting love and enjoyment of physical activity.

Long term health benefits of exercise To strengthen the immune system, the bodys ability to fight infection is increased the fitter we are. A reduction in type 2 diabetes. To maintain a low blood pressure and improve a child’s cholesterol profile. A strengthening of the entire cardio vascular system including the heart and lungs, the heart will develop a higher ‘pump activity’ which supports the prevention of heart disease. Children who exercise regularly are less likely to become overweight and have better control of their body fat. Children will in turn develop stronger bone & muscle structure.

Our children are our future and understanding and supporting their natural yearing for physical activity will help lead them to a lifetime of happy and healthy living. If we joyfully teach them how to include healthy exercise from the early stages of their development, we will be giving our children a gift that will endure throughout their lives.

Among the benefits are increased physical fitness, confidence and stronger self-esteem, more energy (energy breeds energy!), a better memory and a feel good factor that only the exercise happy hormones, endorphins can provide! We are told so much in the press these days that childhood obesity is on the rise with the ‘video game culture’ being so intoxicating for kids.

Yet there are so many options for exercise out there that surely the choice should be an easy one? It is a case of finding what works for your child. Just as an adult has a preference for a form of exercise, so does a child. Whether it’s scooting in the park, street dance, ballet, football, fencing, swimming or one of the many other types of exercise on offer, we have a responsibility to make sure that the next generation is fit and healthy to instil these crucial messages in future generations.

Children LOVE exercise!

They do! Honestly! Just give them the opportunity to let off steam and they will jump at the chance.

Outdoor games and playful workout routines can 16 | SE22 - November 2014

Additional health benefits The fact that exercise increases the blood flow to all the tissues, including the brain – greater blood flow transports more oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells. Active children improve their body’s ability to absorb oxygen through aerobic exercise – due to increased oxygen in their bodys cells they feel more energized: more oxygen = more energy!

Children who exercise feel fitter and more energized because of their bodys increased ability to detoxify.

Active children breathe better and sweat more – these are great ways to detoxify the body and keep it ‘clean’.

Exercise improves mental health Exercise enhances the brains metabolism, studios show that children have improved memory as a result of better brain function Moderate and fun orientated exercise literally burns off excess harmful hormones and the same time increases the release of beneficial ones. Active children have the ability to concentrate much better even at the end of a long school day.

Studioes report that exercise decreases anxiety, reduces depression, improves mood and outlook in children. In addition their quality of sleep is improved.

Get the kids moving!!!!

SE22 - November 2014 | 27

Dr Alison Shell, University College London, looked in detail at Shakespeare’s use of language, while Professor Tiffany Stern, University of Oxford, focused on what we know about the play as it was first staged.

Dr Lucy Munro, King’s College London, talked about how the play was a product of Elizabethan London, and what it revealed about attitudes to national, racial and religious difference in Shakespeare’s time.

Some of the UK’s leading experts on Othello took part in a recent A Level study day at Harris Girls’ Academy East Dulwich.

“Professor Stern made the topic very interesting, especially the section about Iago speaking prose when he was being deceitful and verse when he was himself – I will definitely use that!”

– Ruth Sandi, student

“It also shows students how exciting university teaching can be and inspires them to take their studies to the next level.”

“Learning from some of the country’s leading experts on Shakespeare deepens our students’ understanding of the play and really supports their studies,” said Chris Brown, Head of English.

Deeper understanding

b The 1943 run of Othello, starring Paul Robeson and Uta Hagen, holds the record for the most performances of any Shakespeare play ever produced on Broadway.

Professor Robert Gordon, Goldsmiths University, focused on a history of performances of Othello from the 18th century up to the present day, including Laurence Olivier’s infamous performance in the 1960s, through to recent productions at the National Theatre.

orth Dulwich Lawn Tennis club hosted Danny Sapsford and Andrew Richardson from the Bright Ideas for Tennis organisation back in June 2014 for a fundraising day.

Danny Sapsford founded the organisation, which operates by visiting tennis clubs across the UK aiming to increase membership numbers, raise levels of participation and improve tennis clubs' facilities by providing coaching from Davis Cup players, followed by those players then playing a Doubles exhibition match at the end of the day North Dulwich Lawn Tennis Club's (NDLTC) aim for its fundraising day was to help with the cost of funding the resurfacing of the club's two shale courts to make them all-weather with flood lights.

NDLTC raised more funds than any of the other clubs that had hosted Bright Ideas for Tennis over the Summer, and for that achievement we won the further opportunity for fundraising by hosting Tim Henman, Danny Sapsford, Luke Milligan and Jamie Baker on Saturday, October 11th.

It was a roaring success with 250 people in attendance, and a memorable experience for all who came for coaching or to watch the doubles exhibition match and enjoy the fantastic BBQ. This time we did not have the glorious sunshine that we had in June, but we were very fortunate as rain only disrupted 15 minutes of the day.

Nobody needed to travel to the All England Club at Wimbledon, as North Dulwich was playing host!!

Besides Bright Ideas donating a signed Tim Henman racquet, NDLTC was extremely lucky to have had several sponsors for the day: KFH estate agents donating an iPad mini for the raffle, as well as Haart and Daisylets, P M Bennison Heating Engineers, William Rose Butchers, The Old Nuns Head, Costco and ESPH. Many other local businesses very generously gave donations of raffle prizes (full details of all sponsors and donations are on the NDLTC website).

Very many thanks to all helped on the day, and for everyone who attended who made the day so memorable and successful.

Finally, very many thanks to Bright Ideas For Tennis and to Danny Sapsford.

All four guest players were absolutely charming, friendly and spoke very highly of the day and the club, describing the club "as having a friendly, community feel ... it is a real tennis club."

The doubles exhibition match that the four Davis Cup players played for us was amazing.

Tim was also challenged to do Keepy-Uppy with a tennis ball, and scored a grand total of 74 as we all watched in awe.

Dulwich Hamlet FC - News

Students Welcomed to South London

D

ulwich Hamlet continued to build on the success of Septembers ‘non-league day’ event, by welcoming students to South London for the game against Bognor Regis on 11th October. Students were admitted to the stadium for free in order to sample a match at their local football club, this proved a success as the club achieved an attendance of 1061. The Dulwich Hamlet Supporters Trust used the day to launch a new anti-homophobia banner.

This new addition to Champion Hill was funded as part of FARES week of action, an organisation focussed on reducing discrimination across the world of football, and will now become a permanent fixture behind the goal. Alongside this the supporters were invited to share the message by taking an anti-homophobia button badge in exchange for a charity donation.

Unfortunately, on the pitch Hamlet lost 1-0, but we hope lots of those attending for the first time return to sample a home victory soon.

Prior to this set back, Hamlet hadn't lost in six games including recent victories at home to Bury Town, away to Canvey Island and in the London Senior Cup 1st round against Thamesmead Town.

Following a four goal haul in a FA Youth Cup match, teenage striker Shawn McCoulskey was promoted to the first team and subsequently played a leading role in the clubs positive run of results, bagging three goals along the way.

Off the pitch, discussions have continued in relation to the redevelopment of Champion Hill and Greendale Fields. A second consultation event has been held in relation to the latter and the Trust continue to work to ensure that the needs of the football club are considered within this process. You can keep up to date with the Supporters' Trusts contribution to this process by checking our website - www.dhst.org.uk.

The fixtures for November are listed below.

Particularly as we approach the winter months, please do keep an eye on the

club’s website for fixture changes due to adverse weather or Cup commitments. www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/.

In order to take advantage of this offer and receive a voucher for admission at just £8, email your name and address to dhfccommercial@hotmail.co.uk.

Financial Matters

Pensioners to feel the pinch It was not so long ago that we respected seniors and they had a degree of sanctity in our society.

However, this seems virtually lost in all aspects of life in the UK despite the fact that we all march onto senior citizen status one day.

In a recent report by the King's Fund - the independent charity working to improve health and health care in England - the over 65's were identified as the latest “cash cow” target for policymakers. Over one million 65s should get ready for a leap in their tax bills, and the withdrawal of some alleged perks such as free TV licences.

system, whereby some critically ill elderly people have all their costs met and others must self-fund.

The report called for free care initially for those with serious needs, paid for by ending free prescriptions; a new 6% NI levy on older workers; a further 1% NI surcharge for the over-40s and a one percentage point rise to 13% for NI on earnings above £42,000.

"...over 65's were identified as the latest “cash cow” target for policymakers..."

The report recommended that the exemption that allows those who continue to work beyond their state retirement age avoid 12% national insurance (NI), this should come to an end. It also called for means testing of winter fuel allowances and free television licences. Tax experts warn the report has shone a spotlight on the two-tier system of NI, paving the way for it to be abolished.

Andrew Hubbard, a tax partner at Baker Tilly, said: “It is inevitable that at some point this issue of NI exemption for anyone who has reached state pension age will have to be tackled. We have employment taxes that have to be paid if you are working. Why should you be allowed to avoid them because you have celebrated a certain birthday?”

Chas Roy-Chowdhury, head of taxation at the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, agreed, saying: “I think it highly likely that something will change.

The NI exemption for those over 65 is a soft target.

All parties will be cautious about upsetting the grey vote, but when you get reports recommending those past retirement age pay NI when in work, it becomes easier to make the move.”

The King’s Fund commissioned a report into how England should end the inequalities in the care 44 | SE22 - November 2014

Despite the attractiveness of the report for the quality of its analysis, it did attract some backlash. Simon Bottery from the charity Independent Age said: “We think it is a wonderful report, detailing the problems facing the nation. But putting up taxes is not the answer.”

The King’s Fund report estimated the 6% levy on over-65s in work would raise £475m, while the extra one percentage point NI charge on over-40s would boost the Treasury purse by £2bn. The increase from higher earners would raise £800m.

Hubbard doubted a reduced NI rate would last.

He said: “There is certainly a growing feeling that the generations retiring today have never had it so good, and it is time they paid their way.”

Although the government expressed agreement with some of the principles of the King’s Fund report, there were no plans to change NI or other entitlements for pensioners. However, watch this space as we move towards and beyond May 2015.

The challenge that we face as an ageing economy is the escalating cost of care with the current £6bn annual care budget expected to rise to £9bn by 2025.

There is no ready made solution, but is penalising seniority the remedy?

Bakerloo Line Extension blood test at any NHS blood centre. It is, as they reminded us, the National Health Service fro a reason. But the cross-charging paperwork can be horrendous.

So if you need a blood test without causing a bureaucratic headache and can’t hang around first thing at the Dulwich Hospital you can have you blood taken at Kings College Hospital MonFri 7.30am-6pm with an average wait time of 15 minutes, St. Thomas’ Hospital 8.30am-5.50pm Mon-Fri, Guy’s Hospital 8.30am-12.50pm Mon-Fri.

Trees For nearly a century people have talked about the Bakerloo line being extended southwards. It has spare capacity in its core but doesn’t extend beyond the Elephant & Castle. We’ve helped change the debate to instead of talking about one branch that it has two branches. The obvious Old Kent Road branch to help regenerate that area from being a brown property, but also the original proposal to Denmark Hill and further south to Herne Hill.

Now neither would ever come through SE22 but the latter branch would bring the tube pretty close. If you support this please sign one of petitions but also the public consultation: https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/tube/bakerlooextension

Blood Tests

Every year we put aside £10,000 of our devolved Cleaner, Greener, Safer funding to plant more street trees. The planting season is January to March in Southwark. Where do you think we should plant new street trees – please tell us?

Polling District Review Southwark Council are currently undertaking a review of polling station for elections. We think it barmy that schools such as Heber School have to close for a day. It interrupts the school whole week, causes problems for working families and we have enough community locations to avoid this.

For some time we’ve been trying to get the turn-up and go blood tests at Dulwich Hospital extended to be available on Saturdays. Weekdays can be headache first thing there as with fasting patients keen to have breakfast after a blood test and many others wishing to dahs to work, Meeting the Phlebotomist management team we have not yet reached a break through.

How to make a bulb lasagne and protect it from greedy squirrels Layering bulbs - A Step by Step Guide To get dense and flowery spring pot displays, you have to try layering bulbs in what the Dutch call a bulb lasagne, layering them up one on top of another.

The largest and latest flowering bulbs go in deepest, moving to the smallest and earliest in the top layer.

Done like this, you need to plant the bulbs slightly further apart than you would in a pot with a single layer so 1 to 11/2 inches apart is the right sort of spacing. The first layer can go as deep as 11-12 inches deep. Then cover them over with a couple of inches of potting compost, before you place the next layer of bulbs.

You can push have up to three or four layers, and branch out from just tulips to crocus, narcissus or hyacinths. Here are some stunning, tried and tested combinations, some of them synchronized, some of them of successive flowering times: • Tulips ‘Apple Dawn’ underplanted with Scilla, White Jonquil Narcissus and Narcissus Thalia.

• Tulip ‘Prinses Irene’ mixed up with another couple of early tulips: Tulip ‘Havran’ and ‘Couleur Cardinal’.

The colours of the three works wonderfully together black, deep red and burnt orange, all at their best at the same time.

• Tulips underplanted with forget me not. The tulips will push their way through the Myosotis carpet.

• Tulip ‘Shirley’ and T. “Queen of Night” • Tulip ‘Mount Tacoma’ and ‘Angelique’ • Tulip ‘Belle Epoque’ mixed with T.‘Bruine Wimpel’, T.‘Cairo and T. ‘Ronaldo’

Squirrel proofing your bulbs How disheartening when you’ve gone through all this trouble of planting bulbs, to see your hopes destroyed by some greedy squirrels?

Here are 4 really good tips that should do the trick:

Use Mesh.

Wide wire mesh, such as chicken wire, is an effective deterrent. Lay it directly on top of the bed, extending the surface about 3 feet from the plantings, then stake it down.

Plant Deeply

Plant tulip bulbs deep, at least three times the height of the bulb, so the books say. I actually plant my bulbs 48 | SE22 - November 2014

20 cms down if I can. Planting a bit deeper enhances hardiness and makes it harder for digging pests to find the bulbs.

Clean up

Always remove all evidence of bulb planting, including any dried bulb casings, from the area so the scent doesn't attract predators.

Spice up

Sprinkle chilli flakes or powder over the pot …Ha ha ha! (evil laugh), no mercy for the squirrels! How amusing to watch them!

General Bulb Planting Tips • Drainage is key with bulbs, so all pots and containers need one of more holes in the bottom. These holes then need to be covered with crocks – pottery shards or pebbles – to keep the holes from being clogged with earth. Raise containers off the ground on pot feet or bricks to aid drainage.

• In pots, you can plant your bulbs closer than you do in the garden. Even so, they shouldn’t touch each other or the sides of the pot.

• You can plant tulips until mid December, as long as it’s in frost free conditions and wear gloves as the bulbs might have been chemically treated.

We deliver boxes of deliciousness to your door.

How long have you lived in the area?

I have lived in East Dulwich with my husband and children for 5 1/2 years, before that we lived in West Dulwich.

What brought you here?

Lordship Lane attracted us here, it has such a fantastic vibe and great selection of cafes and pubs. We really enjoy North Cross Road Market on a Saturday… especially Maria’s SE Brownie bar!

What has changed most during that time?

House prices have rocketed!

What do you most value about the area Proximity to central London whist maintaining a village feel. We live 2 minutes from East Dulwich station and you can be standing next to the Shard within 15 minute of leaving our front door. We often go to the Southbank with the children or with friends for dinner in the evening.

What one thing would you change?

Parking. Often when I am in the car I might get a space about 7 minutes walk from my house which is simply crazy.

The one thing you couldn’t do without?

A cup of tea when I get up in the morning. My husband and I joke that my personality is in the teapot!

Your favourite place for a night out?

If I want to stay local (which I usually do!) ..The Exhibitionist for a large glass of wine then a curry on Lordship Lane, I love a chicken dahl in Dulwich Tandori. We all love curry in our house, even my two year old daughter!

Where are you to be found on a Saturday?

Swimming lessons for the kids at Dulwich Leisure 50 | SE22 - November 2014

Centre, then North Cross Road market. Saturday afternoon we often have friends or family for a late lunch, lots of food along side a few glasses of prosecco and music for a family disco in the kitchen! We always finish with pots of tea and brownies from a cake stand… I like to put on afternoon tea parties!

Coffee or tea? Where?

I love tea and I hate coffee. I drink tea all day long at home. I like Blackbird Bakery for a builders and an organic brownie. I have a plan to visit a café a week in East Dulwich starting in January 2015 when my daughter starts nursery!

Best bargain you’ve ever landed..

I bought a genuine second hand (but never been used!) Mulberry Roxanne handbag on eBay about 6 years ago for £120. I still love it!

If money was no object..

I would buy a luxury villa in Ibiza.
