Welcome

I can’t quite believe that we are celebrating 13 years of SE22 this month! It is fantastic to have so much local support with wonderful readers, writers and businesses advertising. I couldn’t do it without you!

We have more Local Talk on page 42. Further news is the late night openings at Aneto (58-60 East Dulwich Road) and Blue Mountain (18 North Cross Road) and Rye Books has moved down the road to 47 North Cross Road.

Number one bestselling author Joanna Trollope tells us about her new novel City of Friends, on p45.

I was delighted to attend the launch of Southwark’s prestigious new business awards which will recognise the firms “at the heart” of what is one of London’s biggest and most vibrant communities. They are especially interested in receiving entries from smaller businesses. Find out more on page 47.

The Last Word this month goes to the wonderful Sue and Nygel from The Goose is Out! who are celebrating their 10th anniversary this month. See p48.

Until next time.

Around Dulwich with Sarah Pylas March Round-up

A

lthough the weather may still be cold, the first signs of spring are already starting to appear around Dulwich and we even welcomed a few glorious sunny days over half term. The winter production of Mother Goose at St Augustine’s Church on One Tree Hill was superb! My son turned his nose up when I first told him I’d booked tickets, deeming himself to be - at the grand old age of 8 - too old for panto, but he absolutely loved it and thought it was hilarious.

A trip to the East Dulwich Picturehouse to see Early Man was met with slightly more enthusiasm.

Early Man is a film about a courageous caveman hero Dug and his best friend Hognob, who plan to win back their land in a high-stakes football match against a mighty enemy, Lord Nooth, and his Bronze Age City. We went for a quick burger after the film and as members of the Picturehouse, we received 25% off our total bill at Gourmet Burger Kitchen win! I managed to squeeze in some adults-only time in February too. A girls’ dinner at Bonne Bouffe on North Cross Road provided the perfect setting to end my dry and Vegan January! I went for the bavette, which was seriously delicious, especially when washed down with a few glasses of fizz.

I also had a yummy lunch with Angela at Rocca in Dulwich Village - when I finally navigated my way around the road works to get there! And, what could be more romantic than gluten-free fish & chips from Brockley’s Rock on Valentine’s Day. This month, I am looking forward to trying out the dinner menu at Aneto, which is now open in the

10 | SE22 - March 2018

evenings. Another highlight for March is the Joanna Trollope event, hosted by Village Books on 7th.

Joanna will share her thoughts on writing, tell you about her latest novel, An Unsuitable Match, and where she gets her storylines.

I am also going to try to pop in to see the ‘Mum Before Me’ exhibition at Jeannie Avent Gallery from 8 – 13th March. Who was your mum before you were born? This is the question that has inspired an exhibition in which eighteen artists explore the lives of the women who became their mothers. The exhibition opens on International Women’s Day and on the following Sunday, 11th March at 3pm, there is a celebration at the gallery of Mother’s Day with performances by the Rye Poets, other voices and Caroline Gregory. Expect an eclectic mix of some of the UK’s favourite new contemporaries and top midcentury experts at the Midcentury Modern event at Dulwich College on 18th March.

Finally, wishing very many happy returns to our mothership, SE22 Magazine, which will turn 13 this month! As the month comes to a close, the longawaited British Summertime will officially begin.

As the clocks spring forward and our evenings get lighter and (slightly) warmer, my thoughts are already turning to BBQs and Easter holidays, but more on that next month.

As always, details of all local news, events and ticket information can be found on our website and on Instagram @arounddulwich. www.arounddulwich.co.uk |

Garden Talk with Janine Winlaw

In Praise Of Cherry Blossom There’s nothing prettier than pink cherry blossom against a clear blue sky – a sign winter is behind us and spring is here. Here are 10 of the best:

Pale pink Prunus ‘Pink Shell’ A small, elegant tree with spreading branches and delicate single, pale pink flowers – a lovely contrast to the light green leaves. This is one of the prettiest cherries and widely available. 4m.

Prunus ‘Kojo-no-mai’ A compact cherry tree/shrub - with delicate very pale pink flowers and wonderful autumn foliage.

Ideal for containers. 2.5m Prunus ‘Accolade’ A graceful spreading tree with a cloud of large pastel pink semi-double flowers in April/May. It also has smooth reddish brown bark and fiery orange foliage in autumn. Height 6/7m.

Brighter pink Prunus ‘Kursar’ A small tree with clusters of dramatic deep pink single blooms in March to April. It has a neat upright habit and the new bronze foliage turns green then red/gold in autumn. 3/4m Prunus ‘Okame’ A lovely tree with masses of single candy floss pink flowers in March/early April and orangey red autumn foliage. 4m Prunus ‘Pink Perfection’ An elegant spreading cherry with masses of frilly double, bright pink flowers from April to May. Delicate bronze coloured leaves when young turn green then orange in autumn. 5m

Whites Prunus ‘Shogetsu’ Considered one of the finest Japanese cherries with pale pink flowers April/ May quickly fading to clouds of white blossom. It has lovely orange/red leaves in autumn. 4m Prunus ‘The Bride’ This is a dinky tree with a rounded shape, covered in large single white flowers with dark red centres in spring. Ideal for growing in a container or border. 2m 12 | SE22 - March 2018

Prunus x subhirtella ‘Autumnalis’ Unlike the others here, the tiny white flowers of this tree are now getting to the end of their season having flowered from October. A stunning tree for winter, lovely underplanted with winter flowering Cyclamen hederofolium. 8m Prunus serrula This gets bigger than the others here but it’s lovely as a multi-stem, which tend to stay smaller.

It has small white flowers in April but is grown more for the polished coppery bark that shines out in the winter. Its leaves turn a lovely yellow in autumn. 10m

Companions Cherries look great underplanted with a mass of Crocus tommasinnianus or Cyclamen coum.

Helebores also look great interplanted with low growing ferns or try Epimedium x youngianum ‘Niveum’ – a fab semi evergreen ground cover plant with delicate white flowers in spring.

Care Cherries tolerate semi-shade, but they do best in the sun, in well drained soil. Any pruning such as removing dead, diseased damaged or crossing branches needs to be done in the summer to avoiding diseases. When planting, incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake.

Food & Drink with Suzanne James

Courgette Spaghetti

For the spinach & basil pesto • 150g Baby spinach • 30g basil leaves • 1 garlic clove, finely grated • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil To finish • A small handful of fresh basil leaves • 2 tsp grated parmesan

Method 1) For the pesto, put all the ingredients into a jug blender or food processor, add some salt and pepper and blitz until smooth.

2) Put the spiralised courgettes into a bowl and sprinkle generously with salt. Mix well with your hands, then leave to stand and wilt for 20 minutes.

Drain in a colander, patting the courgette firmly with kitchen paper to remove all excess water and salt.

3) Tip the spiralised courgettes into a large pan and add the pesto and “cream”. Stir well to coat with the sauce and cook over a medium heat for 2 minutes, then fold through the sundried tomatoes.

4) Divide the courgetti between warmed bowls and sprinkle with the fresh basil leaves, parmesan and pine nuts.

More and more people are changing their diets, eating less meat and even becoming vegetarians or vegans. There is no doubt that there are health benefits but it does take time and research to make sure you still follow a balanced diet. Over the past two months I have been trying to stick to a pescetarian diet, and I have now given up meat for lent so please help me! Some days are easier than others, but I have been surprised by how much I am enjoying it, and I am definitely getting more creative with my recipes.

We will be serving Courgette “Spaghetti” as a starter at our March Supper Club, and it is definitely one of my favourite veggie options so far (though maybe not the healthiest due to the double cream – I will keep working on that!). Serves 2.

Ingredients • 50g Sundried Tomatoes • Olive oil spray • 1 tsp dried oregano • 500g large wonky courgettes, spiraliser to resemble spaghetti (or use a peeler to create fine strips if you don’t have a spiraliser) • 2 tbsp double cream 14 | SE22 - March 2018

Local Competition

The Dulwich Trader Mother's Day Portrait Competition 2018

A

ward winning Dulwich based stores, the dulwich trader, ed and tomlinsons will once again be running their hugely popular Mother’s Day Portrait Competition. Open to children from Reception to Year 6 at a number of participating local schools, the competition asks children to submit portraits of their mothers or important people in their lives. First run by the dulwich trader over 15 years ago, the competition encourages interaction between local schools, parents and businesses.

The only requirement is that the entries should be bold, bright and beautiful. Last year the competition really captured the imagination of local children and the dulwich trader stores were swamped with well over 400 fantastic entries from 14 local schools, panicking mothers and schools were still dropping off masterpieces well past the deadline. Once again the judging panel will include award-winning portrait artist and former Dulwich Hamlet student, Julie Bennett (www.juliebennett. co.uk). Julie has been blown away by the creativity,

effort, talent and passion on show in previous years.

Ranging from poster paint to sculpture and taking in everything between – the range and quality of entries was incredible. Choosing winners is always a very difficult task and we are sure this year will be no different.

Winners of the various categories will each receive a dulwich trader voucher to give to their mother or special person. The winners and runners up and 100’s of selected works will be displayed at the dulwich trader, ed and tomlinsons until Monday 12th March to coincide with Mother’s Day on Sunday 11th March. It’s quite a spectacle! All those that are not displayed will be returned to pupils so that they can give them to their mothers in time for Mother’s Day. The participating schools at this stage are: Alleyn's Junior, St Johns & St Clements, DUCKS, Dulwich College Junior School, Harris Primary Academy East Dulwich, Goodrich, Rosemead, Dulwich Hamlet, Heber, Paxton, Oakfield, The Villa and Elmwood.

Take Action This Spring!

Whatever you decided that you wanted to achieve this year, if you haven’t already started to take steps towards your goals yet, now is the perfect time to get things rolling! After the winter months are finally over the spring is all about new growth, change and transformation. Whether your goals and aspirations for 2018 use the following tips to get you going.

Just get started!

There is a wise quote from an ancient Chinese text; ‘ A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step’. Any worthwhile goal in life, whether large or small, can be attained by simply breaking it down into small steps and beginning to take them one at a time.

Start at the beginning but always with the end in mind!

As you work towards your goal always keep your focus on the end result, the ‘why’. How will your life be better when you have achieved what you’re striving for? What will be the main benefit of this new habit or behavior change? Keep your reasons in your mind and this will drive you forward.

Action Eliminates Fear!

‘Ships in harbour are safe, but that’s not what ships are built for’- John Shedd. One of the biggest reasons people remain ‘stuck’ in life is fear. It could be fear of failure, fear of rejection or even a fear of looking silly or of what others will think of us, but as long as we continue to grow and face challenges, fears will crop up from time to time. The best way to deal with fear is to learn to feel and accept it, but not let it stop us from taking action. As Mark Twain once wisely said “Do the thing you fear most and the death of fear is certain”. The more you do what you’re afraid of the more the fear will diminish and if you keep going the uncomfortable feelings will soon disappear totally.

Reward yourself Making changes can be uncomfortable at first.

When you’re making progress towards achieving a challenge, make sure you pat yourself on the back and treat yourself. Small or big rewards for progress are great for motivation. They keep you going with the promise of something nice at the end of a period of hard work or personal challenge.

16 | SE22 - March 2018

Finally, be determined& never give up!

Persistence always pays off. Keep going and you will make it! Keep your eye on the end result and hang on in there. Whether your goal or new habit is large or small it will make a positive difference to you. Small lifestyle changes can make a massive impact on the results in your life. Even though we may not want to write a bestselling novel or become a millionaire business success we can still take inspiration from these well-known people who have achieved great things with their ‘stick at it’ attitudes and their positive and optimistic mindset; World famous author and creator of the Harry Potter empire, JK Rowling wrote the first Harry Potter book as a penniless single parent, using an old typewriter and having to write in a local café because her flat was so cold and she couldn’t afford to heat it. Twelve publishers rejected her manuscript initially, but she kept sending it out. Finally after a year of rejections Bloomsbury publishing house took her on, but they told her to get a day job as there was no money in children’s books!!vHenry Ford’s early businesses failed and left him broke five times before he founded the successful Ford Motor Company!!

Before being signed to EMI, The Beatles, the greatest and most famous band in history, were rejected by many record labels. They were even told after one audition; ‘Guitar groups are on the way out’, and ‘The Beatles has no future in the music business’. Stephen King has, to date sold over 350 million copies of his books, but his first book Carrie was initially rejected by publishers some 30 times!

Discouraged after these knockbacks, King threw his manuscript in the bin. Luckily his wife secretly rescued it and kept it, later persuading King to submit it again. The next publisher said yes and the rest is history!

I hope you can use the above tips and start on your aspirations this March!! Someone once said “Great things never came from comfort zones” I hope this will inspire you to step out and take action on whatever you want to achieve for yourself.

Pets Corner with Leonie St Clair

The Benefits Of Pet Ownership

A

n acquaintance once looked at my dog and said rather pointedly ‘what’s the point of you’? her view was that domestic pets are a social and climate burden and have no place in the modern world because they serve no real function. It got me thinking are there real and justifiable benefits to modern pet ownership? Setting aside the continuing use of service dogs in policing, search and rescue and people assistance, it is true, we no longer need dogs to help us hunt and catch food or guard property; we don’t use cats to control vermin. There are no obvious functional benefits to owning rabbits, hamsters or budgies.

Those against focus on the associated costs of pet ownership, citing a heavy carbon footprint, risks to wild animal populations and disease transmission to humans. Yet myriad studies suggest there are still very real benefits to pet ownership and that it would be a poorer world without them.

The evidence that pets lead to health and happiness benefits in humans has its roots in early 19th century science and though far from conclusive is still growing. The benefits of the daily dog walk are well documented and one might think are something of a ‘no brainer’. Striding out into fresh air and sunlight is good for joints and the cardiovascular system, exposure to sunlight and vitamin D is necessary for many bodily functions, not least mental health. Playing with a pet elevates levels of serotonin and dopamine- both essential for maintaining calm and relaxation.

Two recent studies offer further interesting insights. Researchers at the University of Portsmouth found that dogs alter their facial expressions intentionally, in response to human attention. Another Swedish study found that cats seek out contact with their owners after a longer than usual separation.

Findings from the first study appear to support evidence that dogs are not only sensitive to human attention but that they are actively trying to communicate with us by altering their facial expressions, especially the use of ‘puppy dog eyes’. The doleful look of a pet dog when we are ourselves feeling sad or low, is something

22 | SE22 - March 2018

every dog owner will recognise. We cannot be sure of the underlying motivations for these changes of expression but what is clear is the impact it has on us. It looks and feels a lot like empathy and empathy is an essential ingredient in companionship and successful human relationships.

The Swedish study on cats indicates that, unlike many dogs, most cats cope very well by themselves but will initiate increased social contact with owners after prolonged absence (stretching, purring and rubbing) indicating that the cat views the owner as an important part of its environment. The naysayers will dismiss these observations saying it is just a case of ‘cupboard love’. We cannot be sure of feline motivations but what is in no doubt is the very positive effect these affiliative displays have on the pet owner. It is the sense of social support that provides such a boost to cat and dog owners alike.

Many pet species fulfil a basic human need for touch and contact with a pet can raise the owner’s levels of the hormone oxytocin. This is a chemical most often described in the bonding process between mother and infant. Its presence in cementing the human pet bond goes some way to understanding the terrible loss owners feel at the death of a beloved animal. The value of this two way bond is more contentious in work with autistic children, many of whom are said to develop confidence and empathy around pet animals in ways that are harder for them with humans. More recently still, work is underway to provide a sound evidence base for the anecdotally positive role of therapy dogs in helping those with PTSD. The jury is out. To date we just do not know for sure how important animals are in animal assisted therapy. Research on the human animal bond is ongoing and there is still much to learn.

Evidence for the therapeutic value of animals in a clinical setting may as yet be inadequate but this does not undermine the central role pets have in making their human owners feel good.

Fitness tips with Leanne Spencer

How Sleep Affects Weight Loss This is one of the most popular questions about sleep that is asked on Google, which is interesting as I think it’s an under-appreciated aspect of weight loss. The fact is, sleep plays a major role in fat loss (and in muscle gain as well). Sleep is a critical factor for almost every aspect of our health. So how can a lack of sleep affect weight loss? There are three major implications to a lack of quality sleep – and they’re all linked to hormones.

Ghrelin Ghrelin is a hormone that regulates our appetite – its nickname is the hunger hormone. Ghrelin tells our brain that we’re hungry, and when it’s working well, we can rely on it to steer us towards food when we need it. It’s like following your intuition – you’ll know what to eat and when to eat. When you’re sleep deprived, there can be too much ghrelin in your system, causing feelings of hunger. This makes you far more likely to overeat and gain weight.

Leptin Leptin is a hormone that regulates satiety – leptin tells the brain when we’re full. When we’re sleep deprived, we can end up with too little leptin in our bodies, which makes your brain think you need energy, and creates feelings of hunger. This can cause you to overeat and more likely to crave glucose-rich foods such as refined carbohydrates.

The Perfect Storm When you combine these two factors – increased ghrelin and decreased leptin levels – you have a perfect storm for weight gain or hindered weight loss. Add into this that when you’re tired, you lack motivation to exercise or cook healthy foods, it’s clear to see the influence that sleep has on weight loss.

for functions such as regulating metabolism and contributing to your immune response. Cortisol levels should be highest in the morning and come down as the day progresses and hit their lowest point before bedtime. When you’re sleep-deprived, cortisol levels go up, and this increases blood glucose (sugar) levels.

Whilst this isn’t ideal, it’s not a huge issue if it’s intermittent or infrequent, because your pancreas will produce insulin to ‘mop up’ the glucose and transport it to the muscles, liver and fat cells. The problem is sleep deprivation can reduce your insulin sensitivity, which means your blood glucose could be elevated.

This is a scenario you want to avoid and can cause unstable energy levels.

Main Takeaway Sleep is essential for good health, and this includes weight management. If you’re looking to lose weight, review your sleep routine first.

Cortisol The other hormone that plays a role in tiredness and sleep deprivation is cortisol. Cortisol is the stress hormone, which is an important hormone 24 | SE22 - March 2018

Dulwich Hamlet FC - News

March News

T

hree defeats in a row meant Dulwich have conceded the top spot in the league to bigspending Billericay Town who also have five games in hand. However, Dulwich remain well poised to achieve a play off spot and potential promotion. This year, the Club celebrates its 125th anniversary since being formed by Lorraine ‘Pa’ Wilson in January 1893. Whilst this is an amazing achievement, the Club faces the very real danger of not making it to 126 if the situation with the current owners of Champion Hill (Mead ow Residential) is not resolved.

Despite Meadow Residential trying to make life as tough as possible, we are thankful that there are many volunteers who are working hard to ensure the Club keeps going in both the short and long term. The wages and bills are currently being met by the gate takings and donations from supporters through the Club’s 12th man scheme.

If you want the Club to continue to survive then please do get yourself to Champion Hill and give whatever you can.

As part of February’s LGBT History Month the Supporters’ Trust produced a limited edition LGBT Dulwich Hamlet scarf with £3 from the sale of each scarf being donated to the Gay Football Supporters Network (www.gfsn.co.uk). These went on sale at the Club’s home match against Metropolitan Police FC, which had been designated as the Club’s LGBT awareness game. With just a limited run of 100 we expected these to be popular, selling out 10 minutes before kick off!

Continuing the theme of scarves, International Women’s Day (IWD) takes place on 8 March and in recognition of this day, as well as celebrating 100 years of votes for Women, we are going to produce a limited edition Dulwich Hamlet scarf that will go on sale at the home game on 3 March. Based on our popular white retro scarf, we have replaced the traditional pink and blue colours of Dulwich Hamlet with purple and green colours of IWD and the Suffragette movement. As with the LGBT scarf, a donation will be made to FFB Warriors which is Football Beyond Borders’ women’s football project (@FBeyondBorders) The Club shares a 125th anniversary with our good friends from Hamburg in Germany, Altona 93. In recognition of this the Club is planning to travel to Hamburg and play Altona 93. In order to do this, the Club need to raise funds to enable the team and management staff to travel and be accommodated. This is being done through a fundraising effort – the appropriately named, InterCity 125 fund. The next event taking place will be a race night on 31 March at the East Dulwich Tavern after our game against Dorking Wanderers.

The first race starts at 7pm so do pop down for what promises to be a fun evening.

Financial Matters with David Frederick

Managing The Household’s Cash

I

n the shadow of Carillion’s demise and Toys R Us battle for its life, the importance of cashflow management must be remembered.

Furthermore, this brings to mind a recent meeting with a couple on the verge of that age old British pastime of property renovation.

The couple were proposing to embark on a project of major household renovation works.

A project cost circa £250,000 was muted but not confirmed with any quotes from contractors.

However, their initial email stated their available savings was only £125,000. It was difficult to see what advice they required as the figures seemed to speak for itself. This prompted a reflection on Mr Micawber's famous recipe for happiness; "annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen pounds nineteen shillings and six pence, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."

However, looking beyond the emailed facts, a meeting with the couple provided further insight into their plans and financial capability.

At said meeting, they presented detailed cashflow forecasts of their expected income and expenditure for the next 12 months. Two notable observations within their cashflow forecast were; their annual bonuses from employment and the cost of their agreed and pending release of remortgage cash.

A bonus unlike contractual monthly salary is not guaranteed and is always difficult to report with any degree of certainty. However, the couple applied a conservative reflection of their performance bonuses received over the past three years. This resulted in the couple including bonus amounts at the lower end of the expected scale in their cashflow forecast. On the outflow side of the cashflow statement, the couple had included their new fixed rate monthly mortgage payment. As the mortgage rate had been fixed, this was probably the most reliable expenditure item that was not subject to change over the next 12 months. This was reassuring as it was their main monthly outflow.

32 | SE22 - March 2018

A cashflow forecast does not guarantee success or provide a true reflection of tomorrow. However, it does provide a less painful landing if events do not go to plan. Hence, the importance of cashflow planning as part of a household’s management especially when seeking to embark on major projects. Five golden rules can be applied to households when producing a cashflow forecast to aid their decision making and management of major projects: 1) identify the expected arrival of all income; 2) identify the expected outflow of all expenditure; 3) always apply prudence and caution, do not overstate income or understate expenditure; 4) be prepared and expect the unexpected, by incorporating an allowance for an unknown or unexpected expenditure outflow or the nonarrival of an income flow; and 5) don’t massage the cashflow forecast, by ensuring the income and the expenditure are in agreement. This only serves to defeat the whole objective of the exercise.

A cashflow forecast is not the end of the journey.

In many aspects it is just the start. The well prepared cashflow forecast, provides households with the information to make their decisions about the year ahead and serves to allow them to monitor their activities on a monthly basis. Our couple’s cashflow forecast revealed a position somewhat healthier than their initial deficit of £125,000.

However, despite this premature happiness, no evidence of the actual proposed cost of their renovations had been presented. Unless this position is rectified our couple run the risk of emulating the likes of Carillion and Toys R Us. Whether a business or a household, cash is king, for survival and a cashflow forecast highlights any pending cash problems.

Education News from Alleyn's

Star Gazing Ben Jones, Director of Science at Alleyn’s, tells us how to introduce our children to astronomy.

Stephen Hawking once said that ‘to confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit,’ and all must agree that there is little more mind-bogglingly wonderful than thinking about the scale, structure and order of the universe.

So what better way of exciting our children about Science – and indeed perhaps even what it means to be human - than by introducing them to Astronomy?

Here are some ideas on how we can encourage and feed curiosity:

Birthday Stars When we look into space we are looking back in time. While light travels very fast, given the scale of the universe, it can take many years for light to travel from stars to us. This means that there are stars that emitted the light we see today, in the year we were born! Use the following site to find such a star: http://www.pbs.org/seeinginthedark/explorethe-sky/birthday-stars.html

Toilet Paper Solar System Even our modest solar system is huge with a scale that is difficult to imagine. And this is where toilet paper comes in. Using several rolls of toilet paper (and either a long garden or a few laps of the house), produce a scale model of the solar system using distance information from NASA (search ‘toilet paper solar system).

To provide representations of the sizes of the planets themselves is also possible: Using a toilet paper scale (450 sheets being the distance between Neptune and the sun), Jupiter, which measures 140,000km across, would be 1/100th the size of a piece of toilet paper, and the Earth would be ten times smaller than this!

Track The Phases Of The Moon Each day, over the course of a month, locate the moon and sketch its shape; after a few days, you will notice that the shape of the moon is changing.

A ‘waxing’ moon is one that is growing larger while a ‘waning’ moon is one that appears to be getting smaller. Such a collection of pictures will look great on a child’s wall!

34 | SE22 - March 2018

Locate Constellations, Planets & Satellites Using a printed star chart (see https://astronomynow. com/uk-sky-chart/) or an app (such as Stellarium or SkyView), identify the constellations – or asterisms - above you. Using small marshmallows and toothpicks you could model constellations before you go outside and hunt for them (and possibly then, toast your constellation models over a bonfire!).

Using the same star chart or app, look out for some of the planets, bright stars (Aldebaran, Capella or Vega, for example), the Milky Way, or even, if you get your timing right, the International Space Station as it orbits overhead.

Finally, and most obviously in South London, visit Greenwich Observatory, where you will be enthralled by the various exhibitions and the wonderful planetarium. Learning science feeds our children’s curiosity, but Astronomy provides something more than other areas of science; As Arthur C. Clarke stated, “Astronomy, as nothing else can do, teaches men humility.” www.alleyns.org.uk

SE22 Councillors with James Barber

Greening Our Local Schools

E

very year local Councillors have a devolved capital budget to allocate to local projects.

This scheme started in 2003 and can make a real difference funding projects that would otherwise never happen. This year we were again heavily over subscribed in East Dulwich.

The schemes we picked have a focus on helping with local air pollution. Plants are excellent at reducing noise, capturing particulates that then wash away during rain, and generally making a school more attractive. I can’t wait to see the difference these air pollution projects will have. What I can say from helping at the Goose Green School Big Dig during the February half term is that the Green Screen makes the playground far quieter cutting down significantly on traffic noise.

What a great start.

We allocated funding for: • Harris Primary School East Dulwich a Green Screen facing Whateley Road and Landcroft Road • St. Anthony’s RC School lots of planting facing Barry Road • Heber School a long line of new trees as part of their playground improvements • Goose Green Primary School Green Screen but they’ve been so super successful raising funds from other sources so instead we’re going to help fund a trial of classroom air filters.

Nightmare Junction One of our worst traffic crash hot spots is the junction of East Dulwich Grove with Lordship Lane.

Car drivers want to sharply turn from Lordship Lane going south into East Dulwich Grove.

Pedestrians have to dash between impatient cars coming out of East Dulwich Grove.

When the original raised road making it level with the pavement – raised entry treatment – was installed it had a different colour and seemed to make some difference. When it was repaired that colour was lost and it feels more dangerous.

The adjacent Pelican crossing has been a mixed blessing.

40 | SE22 - March 2018

Southwark Council have agreed a study too improve road safety along Lordship Lane. To our horror it was planned to only study Lordship lane from the South Circular to Whateley Road. It has now been agreed to extend to include Lordship Lane down to Goose Green and for Cllr Rosie Shimell and I think this junction with East Dulwich Grove has to be our number one priority to solve.

One idea we’re keen to explore is a proper zebra crossing across the East Dulwich Grove / Lordship lane junction – please tell us what you think. Well worth taking a look at www.crashmap. co.uk to see our local crash hotspots.

New Grove Vale Library It is some years since I originally proposed moving Grove Vale library across the road into a new development. When I first became a councillor in 2006 I asked naïvely how we could replace Grove Vale library with an upgraded Library. A familiar sounding story was the council had no money so it would only happen if it doesn’t cost the council any money! With that challenge I spoke with the developer. After many false starts. Many meetings with council officers, planning committees and the original developer who sold the project on we’re getting very close to this new library finally being delivered as part of the 18-22 Grove Vale development. I almost need to pinch myself it really is finally happening.

What I have arranged is a library twice the size of the current library. The rent for 125 years will be a £100 per annum peppercorn rent versus the current Grove Vale Libraries £46,000 rent per annum. The saving will be used for longer opening hours and better facilities generally. It will open around September time…and I can’t wait.

As a Councillor you get involved with lots of casework, have ideas, but this has to have been the longest project I’ve initiated and finally can see it taking shape and being delivered. It’s a real privilege to be in apposition to make such a difference to our local area.

a coder in the Wrens but she was the crossword puzzles editor for The Sunday Times for over 36 years - we are going to have so many questions for her," says Sue Jarvie, president.

South London local Barbara got her first contract to write crosswords aged just 14, when she won a national newspaper competition. She then served in the Wrens during World War Two at Great Yarmouth and Borstal, coding messages for the Navy and reading the weather reports transmitted in code to all Navy ships.

The March event follows February's successful first-of-a-kind wine and chocolate pairing with specialist retailer Majestic Wine. Attendees sampled half a dozen wines including English sparkling and Romanian Pinot Noir alongside a range of Lindt chocolate.

The evening with Barbara will begin at 7pm at the Dulwich Constitutional Club. Non-members are invited to attend at a guest charge of £3. A donation box for LinkAge Southwark, a charity that provides support to isolated, older people in Southwark, will welcome contributions.

Interview

Joanna Trollope Through these characters, I look at marriage with children and marriage without children. I look at single parenthood, I look at being gay and the relationships attached to being gay in the modern world, I look at women fighting to succeed in a very crowded and male-dominated industry. In fact I’m trying to look at every aspect of what it means to be a woman and a working woman in modern life.

What do you value the most about your closest friendships?

Number one bestselling author Joanna Trollope tells us about her new novel City of Friends, which is out in paperback now.

Tell us about your new novel, City of Friends City of Friends is both contemporary and topical.

It’s a novel about women, women in the workplace and it’s about friendship and family.

I wanted to write a story that looked at all aspects of women’s personal and professional lives. The novel hinges on the friendship between four protagonists, Stacey, Melissa, Gaby and Beth.

Four university friends, all working in different aspects of the finance industry, all in their late forties and all in very different personal situations.

I think that what I value most in close friends are, oddly, complete opposites. I love it when people are absolutely in tune with me, but I also love it when people I like and admire, and who seem to feel the same about me, have completely different views and tastes. I suppose that what I value most is a deep respect for someone else’s mind and opinions. And principles. I really mind about those - the principles.

There’s a dual aspect of friendship. There are the friends you’ve had since the dawn of time and there are the friends you go on making all your life. And that is a very important aspect of friendship, that you’re always renewing it. I think forgiveness is an extremely important part of friendship. There are some disloyalties you can forgive, and some that really are deal breakers.

I try and look at all these aspects in this novel.

City of Friends City of Friends is a celebration of female friendship and starting again from number one bestselling author, Joanna Trollope. Reprinted with kind permission of Pan Macmillan (first published in September 2017)

Easter Egg & Flower Tree Impress your friends and family this Easter with these adorable chocolate egg and flower trees.

Use as place settings or as a centrepiece… they won’t last long as the tree is entirely edible!

You will need: white marzipan, cooking chocolate (I used dark, but milk or white would also work), mini eggs (I used traditional Cadburys), sugar flowers, pink tissue paper, a small glass vase or votive and edible glitter to finish.

Step 1 – break your cooking chocolate into small pieces, place in a Tupperware container and melt in the microwave.

Step 2 – tear a piece of your tissue paper and place in your vase or votive 46 | SE22 - March 2018

Step 3 – mould your marzipan into a ball and place on the top of the vase.

Step 4 – using the melted chocolate as glue, work around the marzipan ball with the eggs and flowers to create your tree.

Step 5 - finish with a dusting of edible glitter.

You have created a total unique pretty Egg tree.

Hide them so they don’t get eaten before Easter!!!!

Southwark Business Awards

New Business Awards To Reward Firms That Bind The Community Together

S

outhwark’s prestigious new business awards will recognise the firms “at the heart” of what is one of London’s biggest and most vibrant communities.The Southwark Business Excellence Awards in association with Lewisham Southwark College, is open for entries from all 18,000 businesses in a borough that stretches east from Southbank to London Bridge and Surrey Docks, and south to Bermondsey, Peckham, Camberwell and Dulwich.

Urging firms to enter, Councillor Johnson Situ, Southwark Council’s Cabinet Member for Business Culture and Regeneration, said the awards will also recognise the 87% of the borough’s businesses that employ less than nine people. He commented: “These small and micro businesses are the glue that binds us together. Whether it’s the local pub or local shop or local newspaper, they have all invested in the area and the community. That’s one of the reasons we as a council are supporting these awards – to recognise what they contribute.”

Southwark Council is an awards partner along with Southwark Chamber, Speaking at the launch of the awards at Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard (7th February), Councillor Situ applauded the borough’s many large businesses which have invested and provided employment in the area, including those supporting the awards programme. He said: “Southwark has a rich and diverse culture and is a great place to start and grow and business - and these awards are a great way to bring our diverse business community together.”

The new awards programme offers 16 freeto-enter categories (*full list opposite), including Best Start Up Award, Woman in Business Award and Diversity & Inclusion in Business Award. Each category has been designed to appeal to the widest range of business types and sizes, from start-ups and SME’s to large corporates and social enterprises.

The closing date for entries is Friday, 29th March. A shortlist will be announced in mid-April before the second round of judging. The finale of the event will be the glittering, black-tie Gala Dinner and Charity Ball awards ceremony for 400 people on 21st June, hosted by a celebrity compere. The new awards are backed by Headline Partner, Lewisham Southwark College, and Awards Partners, Southwark Chamber of Commerce, Southwark Council, and

White Label Creative, are sponsored by British Land, and Grosvenor, and supported by Shangri-La Hotel, Jensen’s Gin and Media Partner, Southwark News.

The Last Word – Nygel Packett & Sue Whitehead Nygel Packett and Sue Whitehead are The Goose Is Out! They run regular folk music concerts, club nights and singarounds, plus stages at various local community events including the Dulwich Festival Fair on Goose Green. The Goose celebrates its tenth birthday in March.

How long have you lived in the area?

Sue moved to East Dulwich in 1991. Nygel is an honorary East Dulwichian based at Packett Mansions (not really) in Surrey Quays.

What brought you here?

(Sue): A new job. East Dulwich was a reasonably easy commute, houses were affordable (!) and the woods and parks were a major attraction.

(Nyge): Sue.

What has changed most during that time?

Obviously there’s been huge gentrification. The pubs are no longer rough and there’s a wider choice of places to eat. The average car size seems to have quadrupled!

What do you most value about the area?

The trees and green spaces. Also, there’s still a sense of community despite all the changes – it’s rare that we don’t meet people we know when we’re out and about.

Describe your perfect weekend A sold out Goose gig with great music on Friday night. A lie-in on Saturday. A wander down Lordship Lane followed by brunch somewhere local, then a pint or several – Sue reads the Guardian while Nyge watches the world go by. A day out on Sunday to a free festival like Rochester Sweeps or Leigh Folk Festival.

Your favourite place for a night out?

Anywhere with a good music gig that somebody else has had to book, promote and run, so it’s completely stress free (for us, that is!).

What is your favourite place to eat?

Franco Manca has really yummy pizzas and is fantastic value for money. Franklins front bar for Saturday brunch – a relaxed vibe, delicious food and well-kept Guinness!

www.thegooseisout.com

Your favourite place to go for a drink?

It has to be The Ivy House, London’s first community-owned pub. We’re really proud to have community shares in it and to run our regular gigs there. It has a lovely welcoming atmosphere, there’s lots going on and it’s fantastic to see it doing so well.

When you want to relax...

A takeaway and a good nature or music programme on the telly; a daytrip to the sea or countryside; a walk in Peckham Rye Park or Sydenham Hill Woods; growing things.

What is your favourite shop?

Chener’s Bookshop - an enormous range of books in such a small space. Postmark in North Cross Road for great cards and stationery. A J Farmers for just about anything. Celestial for interesting and well-priced clothes.

Best bargain you’ve ever landed Sue’s beautiful hand made embroidered Zandra Rhodes jacket in the photo (she’s only dared wear it once) which was around £20 from a charity shop.
