Welcome May turned out to be a great month. The weather was mainly kind for the Dulwich Festival, which was fantastic, as always. The Dulwich Park Fair was packed again this year which closed the festivities. I thoroughly enjoyed the Artist’s Open Houses including the wonderful Havelock Walk Open Studios; and managed to add to my collection. Here’s to next year!

We have 7 fabulous pages of local events, starting on page 8.

SE23 is the only place to find out what is happening in the area.

Dulwich Hamlet Make History!

D

ulwich Hamlet make history by securing promotion to the National League South.

On Bank Holiday Monday (7 May), Dulwich Hamlet will achieved promotion from the Bostik Premier Division to the National League South with over Hendon in front of a crowd of just under 3,300.

Having gone behind half way through the first half, Dulwich equalised on the 54th minute.

A scrambled goal by Gavin Tamlin, just after an Ash Carew effort was cleared of the line, lead wild celebrations amoungst the sea of pink and blue behind the goal. With no further goals being scored, in either the remainder of the second half or the thirty minutes of extra time that followed, it was going to be down to a penalty shoot-out to decide who would secure the last promotion spot.

Both teams scored their first penalties and then Hamlet keeper Amadou Tangara saved Hendon’s next two spot kicks. Dulwich had their fourth penalty saved and so it was left to Dipo Akinyemi to step up knowing that scoring, the last of the regulation five penalties, would secure promotion. As the ball hit the back of the net, cue the delirium and pitch invasion.

Following the game, the celebrations moved to East Dulwich, players joined supporters on what is now known as ‘Promotion Roundabout’ at the end of Lordship Lane. At one point, every car and bus was being encouraged to toot their horn ensuring that everyone was joining in with the celebrations.

The issues off the field have been well publicized this season and at the time of writing, the team will be playing its first season in the National League South 8 miles down the road from home at Champion Hill. To achieve promotion given the obstacles put in the clubs way is an amazing achievement.

This year is the 125 anniversary of Dulwich Hamlet and the club will be going on a special anniversary tour to Hamburg in July that will culminate with a game against Altona 93.

Altona 93 was founded the same year as Dulwich

and over recent years the clubs have formed a strong friendship. Fans from both sides regularly make visits to watch each other matches, we around 200 Hamlet fans expected to make the trip to Hamburg.

This will be the third game between the two clubs, first meeting in 1925 when Dulwich Hamlet played Altona as part of a three game tour of Germany. More recently, Altona visited London in July 2015 and faced The Hamlet at Champion Hill.

In addition to the game on the Sunday, the team will be playing another local team HFC Falke on the Friday evening.

Many supporter events have also been arranging including a cricket game, Altona 93 was originally formed as a cricket team!!

Whilst this is a time to celebrate and enjoy the achievements of this season, ourselves (Dulwich Hamlet Supporters’ Trust) and the football club still have a lot of 'off' of field work to secure the future for this great community football club.

Garden Talk with Janine Winlaw

Great plants that don’t need watering

I

t may be tempting fate, but on the whole summers are getting hotter. So whether for environmental or practical reasons it makes sense to use plants in the garden that once established need little watering. Drought-tolerant plants tend to originate from hot, dry environments and adapt in different ways to cope: Silver leaves to reflect sun; succulent leaves to store moisture; tiny leaves to reduce evaporation and aromatic leaves that release essential oils to keep cool. These plants often thrive in well-drained poor soil. So in clay soil, add grit or sand to help with drainage. Here’s my pick of sun lovers: 1) Stachys byzantina (Lamb’s ears). This is a useful spreading ground cover plant with silvery woolly leaves. (S.b. ‘Silver Carpet’ has smaller neater leaves than S.b. ‘Big Ears.’

2) Lavender. This is a classic for a sunny spot.

Lavandula angustifolia ‘Hidcote’ is a popular compact variety with dark purple flowers. Or for a change, try Santolina chamaecyparrisus another compact silver leafed shrub with yellow flowers in late summer.

3) Cistus (Rock Rose). Sun loving Cistus are useful evergreen shrubs with grey green leaves and short-lived but abundant papery flowers. C. x pulverulentus ‘Sunset’ has vibrant magenta flowers and golden anthers, and Cistus x purpureus ‘Alan Fradd’ has large white flowers with burgundy markings.

4) Euphorbia. E. characias originates from dry rocky Mediterranean conditions and once established copes well with drought. With evergreen blue/green leaves it creates stately structure, with billowing lime green flowers from Feb to June. (Deadhead these down to the base).

5) Sedum. Their thick succulent leaves store water and they’re best in dry conditions, often becoming floppy in wetter soils. Sedum provide a long period of interest and their large flat flower heads turn glorious shades of pink in late summer/autumn. S. Matrona with grey green foliage, purple stems and pale pink flowers is striking.

6) Gaura lindheimeri. The airy spires of flowers on this perennial go on into autumn. The pink, tinged white flowers of G. ‘Whirling Butterflies,’ are particularly lovely. The long taproot that makes gaura so drought tolerant also makes it difficult to move.

7) Festuca glauca. These evergreen grasses, forming tidy mounds of spiky blue/grey foliage, are at their very best in full sun. F. g. ‘Elijah Blue’ is a classic variety.

8) Perovskia (Russian Sage). A tall perennial with pretty silvery foliage, and beautiful spires of violet blue flowers in late summer, early august. P. ‘Blue Spire’ gets to 1.2m while P. ‘Little Spire’ (60cm) is a neater choice.

9) Achillea. With flat flower heads in an array of colours, the silvery-leaved varieties such as A. ‘Terracotta’, and bright yellow A. ‘Moonshine’, cope particularly well with dry conditions.

10) Bearded Iris. These store moisture in their rhizomes, so prefer a dry garden. Make sure the rhizomes are on the soil surface in full sun. I. ‘Black Swan’ is a sumptuous dark purple variety and I. ‘Jane Phillips’ is a pretty pale blue variety.

11) Thymus. A pretty and useful herb to have in the garden, to grow it successfully you’ll need to put it in a very sunny spot and work lots of grit into the soil. T. ‘Silver Posie’ is a lovely silver leafed variety.

Food & Drink with Suzanne James

Nunhead Garden Risotto Our lovely allotment in Nunhead is flourishing, everything is planted and now it’s all about the watering, weeding and feeding. Meanwhile we are dreaming of making one of our favourite risotto’s next month when we will be harvesting homegrown Peas, Garlic, Mint, Onions, Thyme, Bay Leaves, French Beans and Runner Beans – not a bad haul – if only white wine grew on trees we’d be laughing!

Serves approximately: 4 People Preparation time: 30 Minutes Cooking time 20-30 Minutes

Ingredients • 250g / 5oz Peas • 250g / 5oz Broad Beans • 100g / 3∞ oz French Beans, but into small pieces • 50g / 2oz Butter • 3 tbsp Olive Oil • 1tbsp chopped fresh Mint leaves • 1 Finely chopped Onion • 3 Finely chopped Baby Leeks • 2 Garlic Cloves crushed • 3-4 Sprigs fresh Thyme • 1 long strip of Lemon Zest • 1 Bay leaf • 150g / 5oz Arborio Risotto Rice • 150ml / 5oz Dry White Wine • 750ml / 1-pint 7fl oz hot vegetable stock • 100g / 2∞ oz fresh Runner Beans, de-stringed and cut into long thin strips • Sea Salt Flakes and freshly ground Black Pepper • Parmesan shavings to serve

Method 1) Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to the boil. Add the broad beans, peas & French beans and return to the boil. Cook for one minute and then drain into a colander under running water until cold.

Remove the broad beans from their skins and set aside.

3) Melt 25g / 1oz of the butter with the remaining oil in a large non-stick saucepan and fry the onion, baby leeks and garlic for five minutes until softened, but not coloured. Stir in the thyme, lemon zest, bay leaf and risotto rice and cook for a few seconds more until the rice is glistening.

4) Pour the wine in to the pan and boil over a medium heat until the liquid has reduced by half.

Slowly start adding the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring well between each addition. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the liquid has almost all been absorbed before adding more. Cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender.

5) Meanwhile, fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Cook the runner beans for three minutes, or until tender. Drain in a colander then return to the pan and toss with a small knob of the remaining butter and plenty of ground pepper.

6) Remove the thyme and lemon zest from the rice and discard. Stir in the broad beans, peas and French beans with the remaining stock and cook for three minutes, stirring regularly. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid and set aside.

7) Add the remaining butter to the risotto and stir.

Serve in deep plates, scatter the runner beans over the top and then drizzle with the minted olive oil, finally sprinkling with the fresh parmesan.

Dulwich Hamlet FC - News

Dulwich Hamlet Make History!

D

ulwich Hamlet make history by securing promotion to the National League South.

On Bank Holiday Monday (7 May), Dulwich Hamlet will achieved promotion from the Bostik Premier Division to the National League South with over Hendon in front of a crowd of just under 3,300.

Having gone behind half way through the first half, Dulwich equalised on the 54th minute.

A scrambled goal by Gavin Tamlin, just after an Ash Carew effort was cleared of the line, lead wild celebrations amoungst the sea of pink and blue behind the goal. With no further goals being scored, in either the remainder of the second half or the thirty minutes of extra time that followed, it was going to be down to a penalty shoot-out to decide who would secure the last promotion spot.

Both teams scored their first penalties and then Hamlet keeper Amadou Tangara saved Hendon’s next two spot kicks. Dulwich had their fourth penalty saved and so it was left to Dipo Akinyemi to step up knowing that scoring, the last of the regulation five penalties, would secure promotion. As the ball hit the back of the net, cue the delirium and pitch invasion.

Following the game, the celebrations moved to East Dulwich, players joined supporters on what is now known as ‘Promotion Roundabout’ at the end of Lordship Lane. At one point, every car and bus was being encouraged to toot their horn ensuring that everyone was joining in with the celebrations.

The issues off the field have been well publicized this season and at the time of writing, the team will be playing its first season in the National League South 8 miles down the road from home at Champion Hill. To achieve promotion given the obstacles put in the clubs way is an amazing achievement.

This year is the 125 anniversary of Dulwich Hamlet and the club will be going on a special anniversary tour to Hamburg in July that will culminate with a game against Altona 93.

Altona 93 was founded the same year as Dulwich

and over recent years the clubs have formed a strong friendship. Fans from both sides regularly make visits to watch each other matches, we around 200 Hamlet fans expected to make the trip to Hamburg.

This will be the third game between the two clubs, first meeting in 1925 when Dulwich Hamlet played Altona as part of a three game tour of Germany. More recently, Altona visited London in July 2015 and faced The Hamlet at Champion Hill.

In addition to the game on the Sunday, the team will be playing another local team HFC Falke on the Friday evening.

Many supporter events have also been arranging including a cricket game, Altona 93 was originally formed as a cricket team!!

Whilst this is a time to celebrate and enjoy the achievements of this season, ourselves (Dulwich Hamlet Supporters’ Trust) and the football club still have a lot of 'off' of field work to secure the future for this great community football club.

‘Artists Impressions World Gallery aisle, Planning and design by Ralph Appelbaum Associates’ The World Gallery is a new permanent gallery which celebrates human creativity, imagination and adaptability, displaying over 3,000 extraordinary objects from the Horniman’s internationally important anthropology collection. Presented as a series of encounters with cultures from across the continents, the gallery gives visitors a glimpse into other ways of understanding the world.

The displays include a beautiful camel saddle from North Africa, Chinese paper offerings, the prow of a Libyan refugee boat, a Native American tomahawk and a sword made of sharks’ teeth from Kiribati in the Central Pacific.

These are complemented by new acquisitions and commissions, as well as sections on different ways of categorising objects and on the history of the Museum.

The opening of the World Gallery is the culmination of a five-year project that has also involved the transformation of the gallery space to re-introduce daylight and capture the spirit of the original museum building.

Open from Friday 29 June Wander through wild landscapes in the new Grasslands Garden, featuring spectacular plants from North American prairie and South African grasslands. Celebrating critically threatened wild landscapes, the garden has species flowering across the summer months, from pasqueflower to prairie dock and goldenrods to wild gladiolus.

The naturalistic planting scheme was devised by Olympic Park designer James Hitchmough, and the Grasslands Garden is linked to the Horniman’s new World Gallery of anthropology, opening on 29 June 2018. FREE

Coral: Fabric of the Reef Until Sunday 9 September 2018 Inspired by the Museum’s Aquarium and Natural History collection, artist Karen Dodd uses woollen fabric – dyed and sculpted, and intricately bound and stitched – to draw attention to coral and coral reefs, simultaneously celebrating their beauty and raising awareness of their vulnerability in the face of increasing environmental change.

Home Security with Callum Heneghan

Holiday Security For Your Home

H

oliday season is nearly up on us, and most burglaries occur when there is nobody at home, so it’s really important to secure your property effectively whilst you are away from your home. Take some time this month to assess your home through the eyes of a burglar.

Most burglaries are opportunistic however you can take simple steps to ensure that you prevent your home and family from becoming a victim.

Start from the outside of your home: Is your front hedge overgrown that can provide cover to your front windows? Do your windows have adequate window locks that use a key? It’s also a good idea to check your front door locks. You should have a minimum of a latch style (Yale) lock and a British standard approved 5-lever mortice lock - remember to use both locks when you leave! A mortice lock will restrict a burglar from leaving through the front door if they were to get in through a window or other entry point which could restrict the amount of belongings they can get away with. If you have a UPvC door, ensure you lift the handle and double lock with the key.

It’s common to leave your car keys and other possessions near the front door. Take time to buy an RFID protector wallet if your car has keyless entry which prevents the wireless signal from your car keys being cloned from outside. This device can be picked up for as little as £5 - while car insurance excess normally sits at around £250.

Have you considered investing in a burglar alarm? Most systems now enable you to control your alarm system via a smartphone app. You can switch the system on and off remotely, receive notification when it is set and unset from different users, and be alerted in the event of an activation. Internal movement detectors monitor for movement inside whilst vibration detectors look for impact of force to windows or doors, providing a perimeter detection for added peace of mind. While your pet may be a useful discouragement, you'll find that most systems are also pet friendly.

Ensure that you have adequate lighting; floodlights activated by movement are a great deterrent. Internal lights and lamps on timers and smart plugs give the look at your home is occupied.

These don’t just have to be used whilst you are on holiday but are beneficial for use all year round.

24 | SE23 - June 2018

Finally, remember not to order parcels or deliveries which could be left out whilst you are away, and to ensure that valuables cannot be seen from outside.

Ask a close neighbour or friend to check on your house if you are going away for long periods. Once you are away, be cautious sharing your whereabouts online as burglars have been known to use social media websites to target empty properties.

Pets Corner with Leonie St Clair

Park Petiquette

S

ummer seems finally to have arrived and as the mercury rises so do the numbers of visitors to our glorious public spaces.

The majority of responsible dog owners make daily, even twice daily forays to the park come rain or shine and in colder months the range of park users is fewer. However, warmer weather brings out other visitors in force: families and picnickers, those wishing to sunbathe or play games with the kids, learner cyclists, skateboarders and even Nordic pole walkers. All of these present major temptations to dogs, always on the lookout for new and exciting opportunities to scavenge or chase things that don’t belong to them. In the face of such ‘novelties’ many owners lose control and with it the respect of other park users.

Recently Southwark Council implemented Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOS) https:// www.southwark.gov.uk/parks-and-open-spaces/ public-space-protection-orders-pspos-regulations, with a view to cracking down on irresponsible dog owners in local parks and cemeteries. These supersede and replace any existing Dog Control Orders. According to Southwark, members of the community are tired of their children being jumped on by random dogs, their picnics pinched, joggers and cyclists chased and the continuing problem of dog poo. As a consequence we all need to be much more aware of our dog’s behaviour and prepared to control our dog around other park users and that includes other dogs and dog owners. Penalties for not doing so will be severe and Southwark Officers now have the power to order owners to put their dog on a lead if the dog is perceived to be a nuisance.

Here is a simple guide to park petiquette, the aim being to make life more pleasant all round: 1) Ensure you have reliable recall against any amount of distraction, if you don’t then keep your dog on a lead and only let him off at times when you feel certain you can keep his attention on you.

2) Rather than let your dog frolic with other dogs, make yourself his key playmate. Teach him tuggy with manners, search and find games (good to play on a long lead) and if you want to throw toys

26 | SE23 - June 2018

for him to fetch ensure you have trained a solid retrieve to hand.

3) Do not allow your dog to chase other animals, including other dogs, as his primary source of entertainment. It is unwise and dangerous to encourage prey drive. Dogs allowed to refine prey drive by chasing squirrels and birds in the park will be uncontrollable and may start hunting and chasing other small dogs- with possibly disastrous consequences.

4) If you see another dog on a lead in the park give him space, do not let your dog approach him off lead.

5) Do not assume that because you have a puppy all other adult dogs will love and protect him.

Many adult dogs loathe puppies. Teach your puppy manners around adult dogs as soon as possible.

6) Do not assume all people will love and protect your dog, understanding that when he runs up to them or leaps at their toddler, he is “just being friendly”. Teach your dog manners around all categories of human as early as possible.

7) In areas of parks and cemeteries where signs ask you to put your dog on a lead, do as asked.

It is good practice for your dog to learn to go on and off the lead regularly in the park, rather than viewing all park time as off lead play. This way other park users who do not want to interact with your dog are not forced to.

8) In areas of potentially high, mixed traffic, like park pathways and roads, it makes sense to have your dog on a lead. Your dog learns this is the norm and will accept it, other park users will appreciate it.

9) Always carry poo bags and ALWAYS pick up.

10) Let’s try to lead by example and not fuel the ambitions of a few who would like to ban dogs from our public spaces.

Fitness tips with Leanne Spencer

The importance of walking for health

T

his year I completed the London Marathon; a key part of my training programme was walking, which is a powerful form of exercise to increase your aerobic and cardiovascular fitness. As part of my training for the marathon, I did a long run every couple of weeks or so, which is not something I’d recommend for everyone but with the amount of exercise I do it fitted well. Then I would do something of moderate intensity three times a week, and a couple of high intensity workouts during the week. In between that I did what the Americans call ‘greasing the groove’ or ‘active transport’ as I like to call it e.g. walking. It’s about getting little bits of movement where you can.

I can’t stress enough how important walking is.

In fact a study found that just a 10 minute walk a day had the effect of increasing your mood and your energy levels for up to three hours afterwards.

So what a return on investment that is! The same study found that if you sustain that for three weeks or more those overall moods and energy benefits extend throughout the whole day. So that’s how powerful walking can be; huge benefits including

28 | SE23 - June 2018

for mental health. The recommended 10,000 steps, comes from a very old piece of research but found that this was a good goal for overall fitness, so a good place to start. It doesn’t matter if you’re using a tracker, or if you do a lot of ‘active transport’, but just getting in a high volume of steps and plenty of walking is going to have so many benefits for you.

If you think about where we came from, our ancestors would have been moving around all the time. They’d be getting up, looking out of the mouth of a cave, surveying for risks, surveying for prey.

Then foraging, scurrying, squatting, sharpening tools, washing things. They’d have been active all day, moving around the camp and at some point involved in some very high intensity chase, or high intensity activity being chased by something, just to survive. We’ve lost a lot of that so let’s try and bring some more of that ancestral movement back into our lifestyle. Our bodies like to get plenty of movement in daily life; the body was designed to move.

You will need….

• Strawberries and a pot of double cream • Cherries • Dark chocolate and a knob of butter • Marzipan • Fresh mint • Kitchen foil and toothpicks • An oasis wreath base • A dinner plate and a decorative bowl.

• Sugar flowers and cake sprinkles to decorate Step 1 prepare your base. Cover the oasis with kitchen foil, making it food safe. Now roll out your marzipan and place onto the foil.

Step 2 Place your base onto the dinner plate, and pop your bowl in the centre of you base. Pour the cream into the bowl.

Step 3 Melt the chocolate and butter in a bon Marie, or a bowl standing in gently boiling water.

Be careful not to scold yourself. Do not leave the melting chocolate unattended.

Step 4 Dip the strawberries into the chocolate holding them by the stem. Place on a piece of kitchen foil, and sprinkle with cake decorations.

Leave to set, about 30 mins.

Step 5 break off sprigs of Fresh mint, and place evenly around the marzipan base.

Step 7 Finish with the sugar flowers.

Now relax and turn on the tennis!

Financial Matters with Akwasi Duodu

You succeed or fail one small step at a time

I

was speaking to a personal trainer in my gym the other day and asked him why it was that some people at the gym were more successful than others at getting in shape and staying that way. He laughed and said it was a great question. He then asked me to visualise two ladies he recently dealt with; both of whom wanted to lose weight and get in shape.

Amanda is unhappy with her weight and wants to do something about it. She isn’t quite sure what; but thinks the first step would be to join the local gym; which she does. She starts quite well. Some weeks, she is in up to four times a week; other weeks are more difficult. Amanda has no real plan but has good intentions and has good weeks and bad and kind of bumbles along; not really sure what she wants apart from to “get in shape”. Halfway through the year, she looks at herself and realises that it’s not working.

6 months of training and no tangible results!

Depressing! She more or less gives up; trying other methods like new fad diets; starving herself, binging, getting depressed about the whole thing and only turning up to the gym sporadically. At the end of the year, she weighs slightly more than the year before, and decides that her new year’s resolution for next year must be to get in shape.

Caroline wants to get in shape. She is determined to meet her goal and has decided that she needs help. She therefore engages a personal trainer who helps her establish a plan. They decide jointly that her goal should be to reduce the amount of extra body fat she is carrying.

Instead of simply trying to lose weight, she will try to cut her body fat level from 30% to 20% by the end of the year. This would take a combination of a high protein diet with fewer carbs, no sugar and a combination of cardio and weights four times a week; regularly measuring her body fat level. She is warned of a rocky road ahead, with disappointing days and some poor results but asked to focus on her long term goal. She breaks her plan down into a daily routine with rewards at the end of each successful day. Because Caroline has paid for her sessions with her personal

30 | SE23 - June 2018

trainer, it focusses her mind. The sessions are gruelling to start with but as she gets fitter, they become easier until she starts enjoys her training.

As you would guess, Caroline smashes her target, wows her friends and family, goes on to become an inspiration to others and lives happily ever after. Admittedly, Caroline got the results she wanted because she worked a lot harder than Amanda. More importantly however, there was a critical difference between the two approaches.

Caroline had a plan. Her plan was SMART – you may have come across this acronym before.

S specific, significant, stretching M measurable, meaningful, motivational upon, attainable, achievable, A agreed

acceptable, action-oriented realistic, relevant, reasonable, R rewarding,

results-oriented T

time-based, timely, tangible, trackable

For me however, the most important detail was that she broke it down into a daily routine, and rewarded herself for each day that was successful.

We often set ourselves daunting long-term goals such as “I’d like to enough money to retire at 55.” That is a huge and daunting task. With the help of a financial adviser, you could break the goal down into a monthly amount you’d need to save. Much less daunting, more doable and more motivational. You succeed or fail one small step at a time.

The Last Word – Jeremy Wyatt

J

eremy Wyatt is a local treehouse builder, running Root and Shoot Treehouses, and makes bespoke lighting and environmentally friendly products. Parent to three boys he doesn’t know anything about sport and needs to find a stand-in to show them the ways.

How long have you lived in the area?

We moved here from Hackney 3 years ago.

What brought you here?

We had two kids and another on the way and wanted to get out of the concrete jungle but stay in London. When we came here to check it out we loved it and thought it would be a great place for the kids to grow up.

What do you most value about the area?

I love that our street puts the effort in! It’s no holes barred come Halloween and we’re all getting together for a street party on the day of the royal wedding. I also love how green the area is, it’s so wonderful that you can be in the middle of a wood in minutes.

The one thing you couldn’t do without?

Whatever my latest tool purchase is. I just bought a chainsaw and it’s all I hoped it would be

Do you know your neighbours?

Yes, it’s been really lovely getting to know people, and wonderful for the kids to have mates they can hop over the garden wall to play with.

The most famous person you’ve met?

When I was a design researcher at the Home Office I shared a lift with Theresa May (Home Sec at the time). I warned her about Boris but she wouldn’t listen).

Do you belong to any groups?

I’m a member of South London Makerspace, a community workshop in Herne Hill. It’s a great space if you want to build something or learn a new skill. I’m always dumbfounded by how dedicated and generous the members are with their time.

The book I’m reading at the moment..

Euphoria by Lily King, it’s really exciting and has the best opening sentence to a book I’ve ever read.

Describe your perfect weekend It would involve a lie in (how I miss those) and going out on the bikes for brunch, see some art (with magically no moaning from the rest of the family) and then have friends round for a BBQ.

My secret ambition…

My wife and me secretly want to build and run a respite centre in the woods for kids with mental health problems and their families. I’d do art and making workshops and she’d run the therapy.

What is your favourite place to eat?

We love to go to the Begging Bowl in Bellenden Road quite a lot, and Parlez in Brockley is lovely.

Coffee or tea? Where?

Coffee, though when working outside I need the fuel so gratefully accept whatever is offered.
