HIDE AND SEEK

Thank you Greenwich Magazine for featuring Hide All in the October/November edition!

Here’s Pauline and Mick and here’s the article for those of you who’d like to read it.

Hello Lucky has been bringing us joy for the last 18 months. We love this company, both their cards and their blog. Read all about the Hello Lucky sisters, Sabrina and Eunica, in the article by the American Financial Times.

What Katie Wore, our daily reminder to enjoy getting dressed! Love the eclectic use of colour and texture - well done Katie and Joe.

The Greenwich Phantom is our source for local history and gossip. Essential reading for SE10 businesses and residents!

Justine Picardie is a great journalist and a great author - she inspires us to keep reading. Pauline loved reading her novel ‘Daphne,’ and is looking forward to her next book, ‘Coco Chanel: A Life, ‘ which is being published next year.

Vanessa Jackman produces fresh fashion photography from the street. This site is consistently good and inspiring.

We at Hide All (well, not everyone!) are big Charlton FC supporters and season ticket holders - so far so good for our team! It’s been a great season in terms of enjoyment, with the club regrouping and building for the future. Whoopee!

So as big sports fans, we’re also hugely excited for the Olympics to arrive in London. Mr. Hide All, Mick, has given his view on the event and how it will affect local businesses - including ourselves - in Greenwich Time magazine. Not long to wait til 2012!

Continuing our sports-themed entry, we can’t forget to mention Hide All’s own sports star, ’six-goals’ Nick, who was Player of the Year for HeFC and will hopefully be achieving the same title again this year (but in a higher division!) HeFC play every Saturday in the Bromley and Croydon Division 2. How many goals have you scored this season Nick?

It was such exciting news when Blackheath was announced as the secret location for Climate Change Camp. So today, Hide All went down to the peaceful protest to have a look.

Although the camp was still being set up, you can see what a worthwhile event this will be. Already the camp had a great atmosphere. There will be excellent workshops, talks and music that will all centre on climate issues and the financial crisis. It really is an important event, so everyone should try and show their support in some way.

Blackheath is symbolic to the camp organisers. Being the historic location of the Peasant’s revolt in 1381, it is the ideal location for a new social struggle. With Canary Wharf in full view of the camp, the ultimate capitalist symbol is a main target for the protesters, as are the oil companies and government departments that will all be in the spotlight.

Let’s hope the camp stays peaceful and the demonstrations raise awareness, reminding people that we should speak out and get involved.

‘Create’ is a fantastic 10 day festival celebrating the best of arts, music, drama and dance in Greenwich. So many great events are taking place daily with local businesses, the university, museums and schools all getting involved.

There is such a great atmosphere in Greenwich because of this festival, so we really do suggest that you visit and enjoy the offerings. There are amazing performances happening at the Laban Theatre as well as classical concerts, tours and local history work shops taking place at the Old Royal Naval College and other venues.

The Greenwich Printmakers are a group of artists who are diverse and a huge part of the Greenwich art scene. As part of the Create festival,  local businesses have been asked to display artwork from the printmakers. This curious looking cow is by the artist Philip Solly. Pauline and Mick aka Mr and Mrs Hide All, have donated this piece to sit in the window of our Greenwich store!
