Garden Talk with Janine Winlaw

Wildlife Gardens Turn your garden into a haven for wildlife with a few simple steps. Here’s how.

1) Attract more bees and butterflies. Planting pollen - and nectar-rich plants such as salvia, rudbeckia, lavender, nepeta, foxgloves and sedum will keep your garden buzzing with pollunating insects that help seed and fruit production. Bees struggle to get nectar from double flowers, so try to opt for open-shaped flowers such as daisies where possible – ideally in their favourite colours - yellows and purples!

2) Grow a meadow. Butterflies and bees are partial to areas of wildflowers, particularly native varieties, so if you have room for a patch of wildflower meadow in your garden you’ll be a big hit with bees and insects. You can scatter a seed mix of annuals such as grasses, poppies and love-in-the mist or go for a perennial meadow of buttercups, or buy ready made turf (pictorialmeadows.co.uk) have a good range. Even simply allowing a patch of lawn to grow longer will provide shelter for small mammals and food for butterfly caterpillars.

3) Plant a tree. If you’re thinking of buying a tree, go for native varieties such as a crab apple (Malus 'Red Jade', 2m high, is perfect for small gardens.) rowan or silver birch to help attract birds and insects, providing flowers fruit and seeds as well as shelter. Planting a few together help create a woodland habitat for a wider range of wildlife 4) Don’t be too tidy. Allow perennials to go to seed to provide winter food for seed-eating birds – they particularly love the round seedheads of echinops. Piles of leaves and rotting logs also provides food and habitats for hibernating worms and beetles.

5) Avoid chemicals. Look for alternatives to slug pellet and pesticides with organic methods of control such as wool slug pellets or slug killing nematodes. Chemicals kill beneficial species as well as harmful ones. Avoid using herbicides by hand weeding and applying mulch.

6) Attract more birds. Hang a bird feeder filled with unsalted peanuts and seeds from a branch – or try feeders which suction onto your window for a close-up view - the squirrels will struggle with that!

12 | SE21 - April 2019

And you’re still in time to put up nesting boxes in your garden to encourage birds to breed – try to put them somewhere sheltered from too much heat or cold.

7) Have a water feature – ponds are great for encouraging wildlife but even a simple bowl will encourage frogs and dragonflies - and many birds may use them to drink and bathe in. Use plants like water lilies and broad leaf pondweed to develop your underwater ecosystem and make sure there’s a sloping side so that frogs and toads can easily get out. A bird bath will also provide a useful water source for drinking and washing.

8) Plant a hedge. Instead of a wooden fence or exotic hedge, think of using a native hedge such as hawthorn, blackthorn or hazel to provide nesting sites and winter food such as berries and hips for hungry wildlife.

9) Plant berry-bearing shrubs. Plants such as cotoneasters, holly, pyracantha, skimmia, and Viburnum opulus provide a good food source for birds.

10) Plant climbers. Ivy provides shelter for birds, nectar in winter and berries in spring. Honeysuckle and clematis also have lots of nectar for butterflies and birds also eat the seeds.

Food & Drink with Suzanne James

Vegan (or Not) Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni!!

Spinach is at its very best between March and June. Now is the time to buy whole bunches of the stuff - look for leaves that are crisp and dark green, and avoid those that are yellow, limp, or wilted. Don’t worry about a bit of mud, it’s easily washed off and then dried in a salad spinner. If buying pre-washed, packaged spinach, inspect the bag for any slimy or yellow leaves, and also check the expiration or a "best if used by" date.

Always buy organic spinach if you can. This is a simple version of a classic recipe that is super easy to make. The basic recipe is vegan, but it is very easy to adapt it if you wish to by adding 300-400g of Ricotta cheese to the Béchamel sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan over the top!

Cooking time 1 hour 10 minutes Serves 8

Ingredients • 3 Cloves peeled garlic • 100g Roasted cashew nuts • 100g Spinach • 2 Sweet potatoes boiled & mashed • Juice of half a lime • 1 tsp salt • 75ml Sunflower oil • 75ml Water • 3 tsp oil • 3 tbsp white flour • Pinch of salt • Pinch of black pepper • 350ml Soy milk • 2 Cloves garlic chopped finely • 1 Red chilli • 1 ½ tbsp oil • 2 Tins of chopped tomatoes • 1 tsp salt • Pinch of black pepper • 1 tbsp maple syrup • 250g Cannelloni tubes • Vegan cheese to top • 300-400g Ricotta for the Béchamel Sauce if you’re not making the vegan version • Grated Parmesan to top if you’re not making the vegan version

Method 1) Preheat the oven to 180°C. 2) First step is to make your spinach pesto – add 3 cloves peeled garlic, cashew nuts, spinach, lime, 1 tsp salt, 75ml sunflower oil and 75ml water to a blender and blend together.

3) For vegan béchamel, add 3 tbsp oil to a pan on a high heat along with 3 tbsp flour, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper and cook for 1 minute.

4) Once the roux starts to clump together add in the soy milk (& ricotta cheese if not following the vegan recipe).

5) Bring to the boil, stirring all the while and then knock off the heat.

6) Combine with the spinach pesto and the mashed sweet potatoes and set aside.

7) Make your tomato sauce by adding 1 ½ tsp oil to a pan on a high heat. Add 1 finely chopped red chilli and 2 cloves finely chopped garlic.

8) Fry for about a minute until the garlic starts to turn gold and then add the two tins of chopped tomatoes and mix through.

9) Season with 1 tsp salt, a pinch of black pepper and 1 tbsp maple syrup and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat.

10) Use a piping bag to squeeze the spinach and sweet potato béchamel sauce into the cannelloni tubes – make sure you fill them up really well, so they are not full of air.

11) Lay the tubes on their sides and submerge with the tomato sauce.

12) Top off with a covering of vegan cheese (or a sprinkling of Parmesan if you’re not vegan!) and cook in the oven for 25 minutes.

Fitness tips with Leanne Spencer

Is stress bad for your mind, body & wellbeing?

The answer, of course, is yes. But why?

When we’re in a stressed state, we release different hormones, predominately cortisol, which can have a negative effect on our body composition because cortisol instructs the liver to secrete glucose into the bloodstream (in effect to get us ready for action because it thinks we’re in a threat state). We then have elevated glucose in the blood – which is not great for our energy levels or our body composition (our weight management).

But stress can also affect the entire body from top to tail. It can switch on and off genes that we don’t necessarily want switched on or off, it can significantly affect our overall health through our genetic expression, which I think is fascinating!

It also affects the nervous system – the autonomic nervous system. There are two branches to this nervous system: sympathetic and parasympathetic.

Sympathetic is our fight, flight, freeze response. That’s our threat state, and when we’re stressed, we’re in a sympathetic dominant state.

Parasympathetic is our rest and digest, and that’s the state we want to be in most of the time, but not all the time. It’s important to move from a sympathetic to parasympathetic to sympathetic to parasympathetic dominant state. That’s what we were designed to do.

As ancestral people, we weren’t always relaxed and chilled out by the campfire, but we weren’t always being attacked and chasing predators either, so our body is used to working between those two types of nervous system states. But the issue is when the stress becomes prolonged and elevated. It’s fine to be stressed some of the time - that stress could be a deadline, a very stressful event, a health scare, or it could be a workout. There are different types of stress.

A workout puts us into that stress state, but it’s hermetic – it has something that could be bad for us, but in a small dose has a positive effect.

20 | SE21 - April 2019

In order to change our physiology, we want to take ourselves into a stress state through exercise (as an example) every now and again provided we get suitable recovery. It’s ok to have stress if it’s not prolonged, and it’s not elevated for long periods of time, and you build in enough recovery; That really is the key.

Most people I speak to or observe, don’t get enough recovery. If you can try and make that stress spikier by building in lots of recovery in between, you’re going to find that it has a far less detrimental effect on your health.

To summarise, stress is very bad for the body if it’s prolonged and elevated. It can change our gene expression. It can affect the nervous system, which in turn, effects just about the whole body.

Manage your stress well; meditation, movement, exercise, good food, time to yourself – all these things are really crucial. Have a look at your diary, see where you can put in microbreaks to take your foot off the gas every now and again.

Education News from Alleyn's

Computer Whizz Kids Robert Payne, teacher of ICT at Alleyn’s, on how to bring on our child’s knowledge of ICT.

Coding If your child is interested in coding there is free online software such as code.org or codeacademy. com, which offer tutorials on developing coding or website building skills. Although the use of tablet computers and smartphones that use ‘swipe’ technology has increased, we should still encourage children to develop their keyboard skills. Keyboarding is important and will be useful, particularly as your child progresses through school.

Talk About It “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Involve me and I learn.” (Benjamin Franklin) Knowledge and experience of using computer systems is important in an ever-changing information society. Our children use a variety of computerbased technologies ranging from tablets, phones and games consoles and while they often seem to teach themselves some of the core computing skills, it is important to encourage them to use these tools effectively, creatively and most importantly, safely.

Here are a few ways that may help to develop ICT knowledge in older primary school age children up into the early years of secondary school.

Computer Literacy Children can develop their creative skills through software applications, and if you follow your child’s particular interests in choosing how they do this they will engage fully. They might choose to design animated stories, games or scientific simulation using software such as Scratch, remix music using GarageBand, or use PowerPoint to create animated presentations on a subject they are interested in.

Global Learning Platforms Some schools now use online tools to support learning. For example, writing platform Pobble allows children to publish their work, and to read and comment on the work of others. Mathletics offers secure group maths games that are targeted to the UK maths curriculum.

Another way to build your child’s enthusiasm for the world of computers is by discussing with them the role of computer use in society, such as in health, commerce and environmental matters. On the way to the local supermarket, spot the many ways computers are used in different settings and discuss how this impacts on people and our well-being.

Keeping Abreast Develop your child’s understanding of computerrelated topics by watching age-appropriate online presentations on computer-related current affairs on sites such as Ted Talk. Furthermore, you can get your child to research major contributors to the field of computers such as Ada Lovelace, Bill Gates and Alan Turing.

And Finally…

With monitoring and age-appropriate discussions, the Internet can offer exciting opportunities for your child to learn, research, and collaborate with people across the world. Here are some suggestions on staying safe while they do: • Keep devices in a family space where you can monitor them • Limit time on devices for both health and safety reasons • Do not allow your child to post personal information on sites or to send photos without your express permission • Use monitoring programmes like Qustodio, Kasperky, Safe Kids or Net Nanny

Dulwich Festival 10-19 May 2019

Preview

T

he Dulwich Festival returns this May with its annual celebration of Art, Music, Theatre, Literature and Walks for all. In a time of uncertainty, this year’s theme is ‘Belonging’ and the community event has something to appeal for everyone aged 0-100 years!

As always the Festival also celebrates the local artistic community with the ever-popular Artists’ Open House taking place across both weekends when over 200 artists invite the public into their homes and studios, providing a close up and personal dialogue and insight into their art.

The Festival is also a celebration of the local history and architecture as local treasures such as the Dulwich Picture Gallery, Bell House, Dulwich College and Christ Chapel, amongst others, play host to the events.

For music lovers, The Harlem Meer Cats are back! Recreating the music heard at the Cotton Club in the 1920’s and 30’s, these musicians play the great hits of Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway among others. The sounds are infectious, mysterious, seductive, at times menacing, yet always swinging!

Dancers will be most welcome, as indeed they will be at the ever-popular Festival Ceilidh. The wonderfully uplifting Festival of Choirs will also feature in this year’s line-up.

Adam Norsworthy also returns to the Festival after two previous sold-out shows. Regarded by many as one of the country’s finest Blues singersongwriters, he will be playing a first set with LSO

24 | SE21 - April 2019

second violinist Tom Norris and then a full band set with his group The Mustangs, one of the UK’s most established Blues bands.

At over 400 years old, Christ’s Chapel is one of the hidden gems in Dulwich and will be hosting both a Chapel Organ open afternoon, featuring the exquisite organ built in 1759 and thought to be the oldest surviving example of the famous organ builder’s, George England’s, work. Acclaimed ensemble Onyx Brass will also perform at the alluring venue. A highlight of the festival, the concert promises a wide variety of music to woo all tastes.

80 years ago 10,000 children came to Britain as unaccompanied refugees on the Kindertransport from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, escaping Nazi Europe. Following a screening of some extracts of interviews, the panel discussion with two former Kinder, chaired by Dr Bea Lewkowicz, Director of the AJR Refugee Voices Testimony Archive, will explore how the Kinder adapted to life in Britain and how they dealt with being separated from their families and their homes. The photographic exhibition ‘Sill in our Hands’ which features 10 Kinder will be on display.

dulwichfestival.co.uk

For literary lovers, join a discussion with the editors of Words in Pain, Jocelyn Catty and Trevor Moore, with readings from their embellished centenary edition of the collected letters of Olga Jacoby, a writer, thinker and rationalist who wrote them ‘under the sentence of death’ due to a terminal heart condition. The proceedings will take place in the elegant setting of Bell House.

For younger members of the community the children’s art competition and concert return plus Kingsdale will play host again to the Youth Concert where local schools/music groups showcase their incredibly talented young musicians.

Award-winning children’s theatre will be on offer at St Barnabas Parish Hall with the fantastical tale of Tommy Foggo – Superhero - a magical multimedia tale of a life saved by music based on a true story, composed by award-winning Stephen Deazley and ‘extraordinary cellist, virile baritome and compelling actor” (Daily Telegraph), Matthew Sharp. A family entertainment not to be missed.

The Festival Fair on Goose Green will provide fun for all the family with a wide range of stalls and activities including the cheerful community chain of pom-poms and the much- loved donkey rides. The Love West Dulwich and Dulwich Park Fairs will take place on the final weekend of the Festival with a whole host of excitements for all the family.

For another family friendly outing, join the London wildlife Trust for a spring orchard tree care event and picnic. The orchard is being developed by The Dulwich Estate to mark 400 years since Edward Alleyn founded a school, chapel and almshouse in Dulwich. The day promises nature-themed activities for all. To celebrate the 400th anniversary of the death of Burbage Road’s namesake, Richard Burbage, local artist Lionel Stanhope will be creating a mural of the actor, artist and co-founder of the Globe theatre.

The Handlebards are a troupe of cycling actors who perform a charmingly chaotic and environmentally sustainable Shakespeare plays across the globe.

Join them for the original take on Much Ado About Nothing. Also taking inspiration from the great Bard, Tim Crouch will perform his one man show, I, Malvolio which re-imagines Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night from the point of view of its most notoriously abused steward. It’s a charged, hilarious and sometimes unsettling rant from a man adrift in front of a cruel audience. Part abject clown, part theatrehating disciplinarian, Malvolio asks his audience to explore the pleasure we take in the suffering of others. You can learn more about Dulwich’s Street Art through the Street Art Walk. Other walks taking place throughout the Festival include Ian McInnes’ insight into Dulwich’s Georgian heritage, Lette Jones’s Tree Walk and Brian Green’s History walk.

The Dulwich Festival would not survive without the huge amount of support and enthusiasm from a huge array of volunteers. If you would like to join the happy team, please do get in touch via the web-site or social media. Your festival needs you! Booking is highly recommended for all Festival events, which tend to sell out ahead of the Festival itself so please visit the website for all information: www.dulwichfestival.co.uk Catch the film made of last year’s Festival by visiting our Twitter or page or Facebook Enjoy the wonderful sights caught last year via Instagram.

Financial Matters with David Frederick

All change for employers and their workers

T

he start of this fiscal year, 6th April 2019, sees employers facing new payroll legislation. Employers are now required to provide every worker with a payslip and show hours on their payslips if the worker is paid an hourly rate and their pay varies with the amount of time worked.

This change may seem innocuous, the reality is this is a shift from the previous modus operandi for employers. Previously, only employees were required to receive a payslip. Moreover, it was not mandatory that payslips reflected variable hours worked. However, best practice may have dictated that this was the case. This begs the question of what is an ‘employee’ and how does an employee differ from a worker?

An employee is anyone who is engaged by an employer under an employment contract. It should be noted that an individual may be an employee in employment law but have a different status for tax purposes. It has always been the employers’ responsibility to ascertain an individual’s status under employment law and tax law. Just to add to the language merry go-round, it should be noted that all employees are workers, but an employee has extra employment rights and responsibilities that don’t apply to workers who aren’t employees.

Consequently, our deduction must be not all workers are employees.

The new legislation seeks to give all workers the right to a payslip and the presentation of its content without extending any employment rights.

Given our classification of an employee with respect to an employment contract, an individual is classified as a ‘worker’ if: 1) they have contract or other arrangement to do work or services personally for a reward; 2) their reward is for money or a benefit in kind, for example the promise of a contract or future work; 3) they only have a limited right to send someone else to do the work; 4) they have to turn up for work even if they don’t want to;

30 | SE21 - April 2019

5) their employer has to have work for them to do as long as the contract or arrangement lasts; and 6) they are not performing the work as part of their own limited company in an arrangement where the ‘employer’ is actually a customer or client.

Careful examination of the worker conditions leads us to conclude that it is possible that a worker may be a sub-contractor, as the third condition is none other than a sub-contractor relationship given the rights of limited substitutability. It is noteworthy that under the new legislation the government enjoys an exemption from the application to the remuneration of members of the armed forces.

Where workers are paid based upon the hours they work the amount of variable hours worked must be shown on their payslip. Employers can show the total hours worked or a breakdown of hours per hourly rate. Despite this alleged choice given to employers, one suspects that most employers will choose the latter presentation to avoid further questions or potential disputes with workers. Furthermore the legislation continues to allow employers the option over the nature of the payslip; a traditional paper payslip or the emerging popular electronic payslip. The latter being printable by the worker.

The new legislation grants workers the right to take their employer to the Employment Tribunal if they have not received a payslip, or their payslip is deficient in the presentation of the pay information.

The employer may also be faced with the tribunal ordering a repayment of any unnotified deductions made in the 13 weeks preceding the presentation of the claim, even where the employer was otherwise entitled to make the deductions.

Employers are well advised to recall Max Ehrmann’s poem, Desiderata and go placidly amid the noise and haste, of remunerating workers from 6th April 2019.

Pets Corner with Leonie St Clair

Park Etiquette

I

’ve written on the subject before but park etiquette is such a big issue that I felt an update was due. I still see too many owners wrangling, wrestling and imploring their dogs to behave while the pooch they are allegedly in charge of does its own thing. Of course, they are the owners who actually care how their dog behaves, another category is completely oblivious, especially the type who let their dog off lead and out of range to chase squirrels. The purpose here is not to recount dog’n’park horror stories, though we all have a few, but to list a few guidelines/points for reflection.

1) The park is not right for every dog. Scared dogs, overly aggressive dogs and dogs that are sick or injured might be better off exercised in a more controlled environment. Focus on behavioural work and lots of play at home. If you must, visit the park outside of dog ‘rush hour’. Don’t delay, get help for behaviour issues.

2) If you see an on lead dog in the park do not let your off lead dog approach it. There are areas in the park where all dogs should be on lead. Be helpful and oblige by keeping your dog on a lead in designated areas. Remember, this not only helps people with problem dogs it also teaches your dog that unfettered freedom is not a right in the park.

It gives people who do not like dogs a chance to enjoy the park too.

3) Do not let your dog mob, rush at or jump on strange dogs, or for that matter other members of the public enjoying some park time. This especially applies to owners of teenage hounds and pups. Running at another dog is plain rude and your youngster may find itself on the receiving end of a severe drubbing. Violence is not a great way to teach your pup manners. All dogs should earn their freedom by having good recall, some self-control and manners.

4) Don’t let your dog steal other dogs’ toys or interrupt dogs playing with their owners. It is not cute! Yes, we know that for some dogs the grass is always greener on the other side but this behaviour can lead to fights. At the very least ensure your dog will recall and leave the stolen item on cue. If not, it’s time to find a class.

5) At the height of summer the park is full of picnickers- if your hound is a food thief control him and use a long line. Do not expect the couple enjoying an al fresco meal to understand that ‘Rover’ doesn’t mean to be rude, he just can’t resist a sandwich!

6) Don’t stand around chatting while your pooches frolic together in the park- you are setting them up to become canine thugs. Instead use this time for some free running but with lots of recall practice along with structured play. Make ‘you’ the centre of your dog’s world, not other dogs.

7) If you have an intact male take extra care- boy will be boys and overly rambunctious play can easily get competitive. As adolescence approaches change the ratio of pup on pup play to more human on pup play.

8) Please do not take an in season bitch to the park. It can cause mayhem- among the girls as well as the boys. Long street walks and jogging will give her the exercise she needs.
