7 DAYS AGO - Alice Godfrey is a Registered Nutritional Therapist who lives in Forest Hill with her partner and their two children. She specialises in anxiety and menopause and is keen to spread awareness of the importance of nutrition for mental health. She does consultations from her home clinic and online. How long have you lived in the area? I’ve lived in Forest Hill for 3 years but before that I was in Sydenham for 8. Sydenham has changed far more in 3 years than it did in the 8 I was there! What brought you here? I’ve always felt at home in South London as my grandmother lived in Brixton. I started there after university and then moved to Herne Hill then to Penge to afford a tiny flat and then came further east. I love this area’s leafy-ness. What do you value most about the street you live in? We live on Sunderland Road which is a lovely wide road which has some beautiful old houses on it (ours isn’t one of those unfortunately!). I like to imagine horse-drawn …

She is a coach to creative people and also the author of “What’s Your Excuse for not Succeeding as an Artist” How long have you lived in the area? Since December 2001. What brought you here? I lived in Chester for 10 years but got homesick so came back for a job at English National Opera. Nunhead was intended to be for 6 months whilst I looked for somewhere north of the river where I had lived before. Now, I can’t imagine leaving south London. What’s the one thing you couldn’t do without? Paper and pen. I know we are in a digital age, but nothing is better for me than the ‘old school’ way of capturing ideas. I have notebooks in every room of the house and always one in my handbag. I am one of the few remaining Filofax carriers! The most famous person you’ve seen or met? I used to work in theatre, so met people like Kenneth Branagh and …

03/04/2019 - Bethan McFadden presents a selection of pencil and ink drawings. Using graphite as her discipline and ink as a tool for spontaneous expression, Bethan’s work merges observational studies of the natural world with a personal visual interpretation of the fluidity of thought and emotion. The ‘subjects’ depicted in BEING balance darkness with lightness, visceral elements with ethereal elements, the transient and the seemingly permanent, and a lightheartedness with more contemplative works.

The fizz was flowing all night as local business owners and friends of the magazine turned up to raise a glass and toast this incredible milestone. Last summer, the East Dulwich Action Group asked locals and visitors to submit their favourite photos that capture the spirit of East Dulwich. I was honoured to be asked to join the judging panel of this wonderful competition and am very excited to now see the winning images exhibited on lamp posts around the area.
