Hello Readers

9th Anniversary Issue

s the excitement building yet? Are you all ready for Christmas and sorted out your gift shopping?

Each year, shopping ideas for family and friends gets more difficult. But the options for shopping are something else!

With two new kittens we will be taking steps to help them.

I

You could go off on one of the Christmas Market trips abroad, you could go to our local markets for gifts, you can go from shop to shop in Kingston or elsewhere, check out some of the specialist shops in Surbiton and Tolworth, or sit at home in front of the computer and shop on line. The latter is easier on the feet, but painful to the ‘plastic friend’!

Whatever way you get ready for Christmas, perhaps there are some suggestions in A Berrylands Companion. From a roundup of Christmas Fairs at schools, to Markets at venues near and further afield, to suggestions for gifts for the techno man, with those for the techno woman next month, to our own local Farmers’ Markets.

We should not forget that November is a time of Rememberance and I hope the cover has given you an idea of the amazing Poppy Field at the Tower of London, if you were unable to go and visit.

November is also firework time, so please remember your pets. It can be so frightening for them, so please read the article provided by Aspen Veterinary Surgery, with advice on how to make pets feel secure and safe.

As we go to press, I am planning to meet the Leader of Kingston Council, to discuss the speeding traffic on local residential roads, so I will give you an update next month. In the meantime I have had a visit from Police Officer Sgt Marshall and PBSO Craig, who were supportive of the campaign against speeding traffic.

They took away some of the suggestions I have received from readers and they plan to speak to Councillors and senior Police Officers. Again, an update later! But it is perhap an opportunity to mention Road Safety Week is this month.

erhaps the idea of Christmas shopping fills you with dread. Or perhaps the inner child in you is excited! Either way, we cannot escape from the inevitable and Christmas presents will have to be bought, wrapped and left under the tree, the house needs to be decorated, and the food produced with a flourish!

Facials are a great once or twice a week treatment that will decongest your skin.

Flawless, radiant, glowing skin is the key to looking naturally beautiful, so forget covering-up with foundation and instead, start treating your lingering skin issues with the help of our problem-solving guide.

Adult Acne You might think that acne ends when your teenage years are over, but many women - and men - suffer well into their adult life.

Fortunately there’s plenty that can be done to clear up those pesky pimples.

Treat it Yourself Thoroughly cleanse your skin twice a day - using an oil free cleanser - to ensure that you remove every trace of make-up and oil.

Treat individual spots with concentrated tea-tree oil, just

6

make sure that you apply it neatly on the area you are treating to avoid irritating surrounding skin.

Targeted products that reduce excess oils should be part of your routine. Proactiv do a really good range for acne-prone skin.

When you are covering spots, use a medicated concealer so that you not only get the camouflage you want but a convenient treatment too.

A more unusual, non-topical treatment for acne that many swear by, is to change your pillow and the case to ones made of bamboo fibres rather than cotton. It’s said that cotton and polycotton absorb acnecausing bacteria and bamboo fibres don’t.

Even if you don’t use a bamboo pillowcase, you should wash your cotton pillowcase every couple of days.

Omnilux Blue is a popular salon treatment that uses a spectrally blue light source to clear and control acne and kill spotcausing bacteria on the skin.

Micro-dermabrasion is useful for removing acne scarring.

Open Pores Enlarged pores can look unsightly, so treat the problem before they ruin your complexion.

Treat it Yourself Regular deep cleansing masks will help you to draw out impurities and eliminate excess oil.

Use products that are designed to minimise the look of your pores - Benefit’s POREfessional and Clinique’s Pore Refining Solutions range are great.

Visit the Salon Micro-dermabrasion and a series of glycolic peels work to dissolve the top layers of the skin, thus shrinking pores and ridding the skin of trapped dirt.

Milia Those annoying hard, white blemishes - that look like little beads under the skin - can be hard to get rid of, so prevention is definitely better than cure.

Treat it Yourself Regular and thorough exfoliation is key to stopping milia from forming in the first place, but if you’ve got them and you want to treat them at home,

then invest in a facial sauna.

hard work.

Using a facial sauna for 10-15 minutes every day helps to unclog pores and loosen dirt, debris and dead skin cells on the skin.

Treat it at Home Protect your skin as much as possible, especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors - always use a high-factor sun-protection cream.

You can then use a self-heating, exfoliating mini-peel treatment to help break down the milia even more.

Visit the Salon Chemical peels work really well to treat this problem, especially the Priori Advanced AHA peel.

Red Cheeks Redness in your cheeks - caused by spider veins or broken capillaries - can make you feel very self-conscious when going make-up free. Caused by factors like hormonal changes in the body, exposure to harsh weather conditions and UV rays, as well as alcohol consumption, means toning-down the redness can be

Blush Beauty

Neutralise redness and disguise the problem using a green tinted primer under your foundation.

Visit the Salon Intense Pulsed Light and Laser Intense Pulsed Light systems are useful in eliminating broken veins and reducing redness. By the use of brief pulses of laser light to destroy smaller blood vessels, the veins will seal. As this means they no longer have blood flowing through them, they won’t look red.

14th November is World Diabetes Day, created to raise diabetes awareness. But with rising diabetes figures already big news, what exactly is diabetes, and can you prevent it?

It’s All about Insulin Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas to regulate blood sugar levels, ensuring glucose is used in cells. If the pancreas can’t produce enough – or any - insulin, unused glucose builds up, causing diabetes.

Type 1 Diabetes (Early onset/ juvenile/insulin-dependent diabetes) Around 1 in 300 people in the UK suffer from Type 1, caused by the pancreas failing to produce insulin. It usually develops rapidly and affects children and young adults.

Treatment is regular insulin injections, normally selfadministered, but a healthy lifestyle is important too.

• Causes: autoimmune malfunction (antibodies attack insulin-producing cells) or inflammation/removal of the pancreas.

• Symptoms: Fatigue, weight loss, increased urination and thirst.

• Am I at risk? It’s not hereditary, but risk rises to 6 in 100 if a parent or sibling has Type 1. Unfortunately, Type 1 can’t be prevented.

Type 2 Diabetes (Late onset/ maturity onset/non-insulin dependent diabetes) Type 2 is far more common, and on the rise in the UK,

10

What Is Diabetes – And Can You Avoid It?

where around 5% of over-65s are diabetic. Usually affecting the over 40s, it can often be controlled with a healthy lifestyle.

You won’t normally require insulin but may need medication to stabilise blood sugar levels.

It occurs when your pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin or your cells become resistant to insulin (sometimes both). It normally develops over time, beginning with mild symptoms that gradually worsen.

• Causes: Specific causes are unclear, but contributing factors are: ethnicity (it’s more prevalent and develops earlier in South Asian, Black African and African-Caribbean peoples), age, excess weight (particularly around the waist) and genetic elements (risk increases if a parent or sibling has Type 2).

• Symptoms: Fatigue, weight loss, increased urination and thirst.

• Am I at risk? To assess your risk, use Diabetes UK’s handy questionnaire: http://riskscore. diabetes.org.uk/type2risk/ Gestational Diabetes Around 5% of pregnant women develop gestational diabetes, when their insulin can’t cope with increased blood glucose levels.

Usually controlled through diet and exercise, it disappears after you give birth but increases Type 2 diabetes risk.

Pre-Diabetes Pre-diabetes is a warning: you’re suffering from impaired glucose

tolerance (when normally healthy-range sugar levels rise after eating) and often impaired fasting glycaemia too. Your blood sugar levels are high and you’re at significant risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Reducing your Type 2 diabetes risk Diabetes UK estimates that around 80% of Type 2 diabetes cases could be prevented or delayed with a healthy lifestyle, so: • Eat right: Include fruit, vegetables, carbohydrates and protein in your diet daily. Choose raw fruit and vegetables, wholegrain carbohydrates and lean protein such as fish and pulses. Eat small, regular meals to stabilise blood sugar, and ensure portion size is appropriate for your age, size and gender. Avoid salty, fatty or sugary snacks.

• Drink right: Stay hydrated and keep within recommended alcohol limits: women 2-3 units per day, 14 per week; men, 3-4 units per day, 21 units per week.

• Exercise right: Find an exercise you enjoy and exercise for at least 2 hours per week. This can be in short sessions (a walk/ short exercise DVD routine).

Some diabetics develop complications affecting their eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves or feet, so it’s worth doing all you can to reduce your diabetes risk.

In November we remember Armistice Day and it’s always a moving and contemplative time of the year. It’s particularly poignant now we’ve reached 2014, as we mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War 1 and remember those who gave their lives fighting in the trenches, and for the lost generation who never returned.

Whether they’re based on fact or purely fiction, the stories and novels of WW1 still resonate today. Here are some of the most unforgettable.

Line of Fire: Diary of an Unknown Soldier Barroux (Author), Sarah Ardizzone (Translator) This remarkable and unusual book came from the chance discovery of a diary. French writer and illustrator Barroux found the journal of an unknown soldier in a rubbish heap on a Parisian street. Barroux’s simple and often stark pencil illustrations have brought the words of the soldier to life and given us a rare glimpse into the first two months of WW1.The diary begins just as France officially declares war, and the soldier’s often heartrending descriptions cover a broad spectrum of emotions: from the physical ache and rub of boots in the here and now, to the hope and longing for his family and for a safe passage through the conflict. What became of the soldier we will perhaps never know, but here we have a rare glimpse into a moment and a life, in time.

A Farewell to Arms - Ernest Hemingway Based on his own experiences of the First World War, volunteering for the ambulance service in Italy, A Farewell to Arms is a love story between Frederic Henry (a Lieutenant serving in the ambulance corps of the Italian Army) and a nurse called Catherine Barkley. Set against a brutal and bloody backdrop, the novel is full of moments of

12

sheer romanticism and passion.

Hemingway’s descriptions of war are truly unforgettable and the themes of love and death make for a very dramatic read.

This powerful story has become both an emotive stage show in the West End and a Hollywood blockbuster.

All Quiet on the Western Front Erich Maria Remarque A group of young, idealistic and gung-ho teenagers are excited and fired-up by their teacher, eager to enlist to fight in the war. What follows is the horrific realisation of what conflict really is, and the terrors of life in the trenches are soon revealed.

Paul Baumer was one of those students for whom the war was at first an adventure. The young group of classmates fall apart after the first bombardment, leaving the survivors languishing in a hell of their own choosing.

Paul vows to keep on living and to fight against a war that pits young men against others of the same generation.

Regeneration - Pat Barker Pat Barker’s novel was inspired by her grandfather’s own experiences during World War 1 and a lot of the characters are based on the accounts of individuals who were treated for ‘shell-shock’ and post-traumatic stress disorder (although it wasn’t recognised as such at the time) at Craiglockhart War Hospital in Edinburgh. The title refers to the research carried out by psychologist W.H.R. Rivers into nerve regeneration after mental and emotional trauma, and explores the medical practices and treatments of the time. The story centres on an English officer who is sent to a military hospital after refusing to continue to fight in the war.

War Horse - Michael Morpurgo From the pen of acclaimed children’s author, Michael Morpurgo, comes a story that has captivated kids and adults alike. Joey is a beautiful young foal who is sold to the army and quickly finds himself charging into battle as the war rages in France.

Told through Joey’s eyes, this is a powerful story about friendship, humility and humanity. Joey battles to stay alive and never lets go of his dream of returning home to his original owner, Albert and the farm life he left behind.

The Guns of August - Barbara W. Tuchman The thirty days leading up to the start of World War One have been brought to life in Tuchman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. It focuses on why the war broke out, who was involved and why it wasn’t prevented. Her attention to detail is incredible and as those last few weeks spill out in front of us, you can almost feel as though you are reliving it, one hundred years on. It makes for incredibly powerful and thought-provoking reading.

For your celebrations, especially on Christmas Day itself, there's no substitute for the luscious, lingering deep flavour and fine succulence of a beautiful, carefullyraised turkey.

The all important flavour of the bird when it reaches your table depends on a number of factors: the type of turkey, how it is nurtured on the farm, how it reaches your kitchen, and of course how you cook and serve it. Everything needs to be just right to ensure your family and guests fully enjoy the most important meal of the year.

So, what sort of turkey should you buy? At Jennings, we believe that the finest turkey available is the Kelly Bronze, a famous breed that has won many awards and the plaudits of a great number of wellknown cooks and food experts. The Kelly Bronze has won the BBC Good Food Award, and carried off the prestigious British Turkey Product of the Year Award for Best Speciality Product. At this time of year there are many ordinary bronze turkeys for sale, but at Jennings we supply only the superior Kelly Bronze.

Our Kelly Bronzes come directly from the Kelly Farm in Essex, where they are grown from chick to mature bird ready for your kitchen. The Kelly turkeys are reared with traditional farming methods.

This means that all the birds are free to roam in pastures, stubble fields and woodland. At night they have the shelter of open-sided pole barns, with deep straw underfoot and plenty of fresh air. They are fed on locally grown cereals and vegetable protein - without any additives, drugs or growth promoters.

It's the old-fashioned way, which is why they have the wonderful taste that all turkeys used to have.

That's why Jennings take pride in selling only Kelly Bronze, and our customers appreciate our choice.

For the adventurous, there are alternatives to the turkey, of course. For instance in the poultry line, we also supply some splendid geese, ducks and large free range chickens. The goose used to be an automatic choice for Christmas until the modern

suggests Alan Jennings

yna rof seussi 4 yreve ni 1 xaM( )resitrevda eno

turkey took over. So if you fancy one of our geese instead, you'll be on the side of tradition!

Whatever your choice, please let us know as early as possible. Then we can be sure that the finest birds are available for you at the exact time that you want them. Let's all plan ahead. Our order book opens on 1st November so why not give us a ring (020 8399 4870), or mention it when you next call in?

Lamb shanks are perfect for long slow cooking as they become meltingly tender and the meat just falls off the bone. Here they are braised with all the flavours of Italy – red wine, smoked cured bacon and tomatoes. Serve with creamy mash or boiled ribbon pasta such as tagliatelle or pappardelle.

Preheat the oven to 170°C/150°C fan/gas 3.

Season the lamb shanks with freshly ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the lamb shanks over a high heat for 4-5 minutes, turning frequently. Transfer to a shallow casserole dish.

Ingredients:

16

•

4 small lamb shanks

•

2 tbsp olive oil

•

350g shallots, peeled

•

2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped

•

150g cubed pancetta (Italian dry cured bacon)

•

300ml red wine

•

400g can chopped tomatoes

•

2 tbsp sun-dried tomato puree

•

2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus extra sprigs to garnish

•

5ml (1tsp) sugar

•

Creamy mashed potato, to serve

Add the shallots, garlic and pancetta to the frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 6-7 minutes until lightly browned. Pour in the red wine and bring to the boil. Add the tomatoes, sun-dried tomato puree, rosemary sprigs and sugar and pour over the lamb.

Cover the casserole and cook in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the lamb shanks are very tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve with creamy mashed potato and garnished with fresh rosemary.

TIP

Why not double up the quantities and freeze away half for another day? Allow to cool completely then transfer to a freezer-proof container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost thoroughly then reheat gently on the hob for 2025 minutes until piping hot.

utumn, winter is a great time of year where we start to prepare for many fun events.

Halloween, Guy Fawkes Night, Dewali, Christmas and New Year are all round the corner.

Unfortunately, when we are “ahhing and oooing” at the spectacular fireworks displays put on for our entertainment our pets are not always having fun.

There are things we can all do to help make this time of year less stressful for our furry friends.

Whether you pet already has a phobia or if you are just looking to avoid a phobia developing if you follow some of our tips we are sure we can help make a difference.

‘A Berrylands Companion’ is a small independent operation and is not registered for VAT. Consequently, no VAT is charged on advertisements.

anti-anxiety drugs or Natural herbal type remedies (available from veterinary pharmacies) may be needed. Natural remedies can be given two weeks before the planned event and during the event.

Stronger sedative antianxiety drugs will require a health check by your vet (before they can be dispensed) but are very effective in dogs that have severe phobias.

If you would like free professional advice as to which treatment is best for your pet, please contact us at the Aspen Veterinary Surgery or visit our website www.aspenvets.co.uk

Aspen Veterinary Surgery

The first thing we recommend is making their environment more comfortable. Closing curtains and the sound of a radio or TV can help reduce the impact of the noise and lights outside. If your pet has a favourite bed or place to go make sure this is accessible. The use of Pheromone diffusers and sprays that mimic natural calming pheromones of a dog and cat can be used to enhance the feeling of wellbeing in the home.

Our pets are very sensitive to our body language so be mindful of your own body language. If you are stressed or acting differently this will make you pet think that there is something to worry about. Although it may seem wrong, we urge you to not intervene if they are trying to hide or pace.

These behaviours are coping mechanisms and any contact during these types of behaviours will just end up reinforcing them. Just remain calm and talk normally to your pet while carrying on with your task in hand. If they act normal and calm then praise this behaviour gently.

If necessary or as an aid to behavioural training,

Nobody wants the worry of huge credit card debts in the New Year, so why put yourself through that stress when you can be organised in advance?

With a little forethought and planning it’s possible to get to the New Year with your finances intact, without compromising on the celebrations.

These ideas will make your money go further, help to keep your spending in check and let you stay firmly in the black.

Saving money in Christmas Clubs

Christmas Clubs are still popular despite the problems experienced by Farepak Hampers in 2006 when savers lost their money. They are basically savings schemes that help you spread the cost of Christmas, with members making small monthly deposits that cannot be withdrawn until November or December.

If you can put money away into a separate bank account or track your Christmas ‘fund’ within an existing savings account, that would be a better idea. You have the freedom to shop where you like, and withdraw some of the money if you spot the perfect

20

present before December.

Is it worth trying a cash back site?

Cash back sites like Quidco and Top Cashback offer a percentage cash back on every purchase made.

A directory of participating online retailers is listed on these sites, which pay a referral fee to the cash back site for directing shoppers their way. A percentage of this fee becomes the cash back you receive.

Both Quidco and Top Cashback offer two tiers of membership.

The basic account is free of charge, with the ‘premium’ account offering additional services for a £5.00 annual fee.

A range of payout methods is available, including having your money paid into a bank account, PayPal account, or choosing an Amazon Gift Card.

A good time to use credit

Purchases of £100 to £30,000 are automatically protected under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. This means that if the trader goes out of business, or the product is faulty and you can’t get your money back from the seller, your credit card company provides a full refund.

For larger Christmas purchases, it’s a good idea to use a credit card for this reason alone as long as the outstanding balance is repaid as soon as possible.

It offers a valuable level of protection that isn’t available with a debit card.

By Ann Haldon

Careful when buying gift cards

With so many household names going into liquidation, it’s not always a good idea to give gift cards at Christmas. If there is any doubt surrounding the ongoing status of a company, it might be safer to give cash or a cheque in a Christmas gift envelope instead.

Vouchers and discounts

Voucher codes and deals can be found at various websites including www. moneysupermarket.com and www.moneysavingexpert.co.uk with savings to be made on a wide range of products from electronic gadgets to jewellery and perfume.

Some codes offer free postage and packing, so it’s worth shopping around on the internet for these deals.

0% credit cards for when it’s too late

If it all goes wrong and you’re dreading the credit card bill, look for a 0% interest credit card and transfer the balance if you can.

This spreads the cost interestfree over a period of time, usually between 6 months and 2 years.

There is generally a transfer fee of around 3% of the balance, and you’ll need to pay it off within the 0% interest time limit to get the most benefit. http://www.moneysavingexpert. com/shopping/section75-protectyour-purchases http://www.moneysupermarket. com/credit-cards/guide-to-creditcard-protection/ http://www.moneysupermarket. com/vouchers/store/asdadirect/14/1/ http://www.quidco.com/ http://www.topcashback.co.uk/

by Gillian Jones If going to a shopping mall fills you with dread at any time of year, November and December probably used to be a waking nightmare for you.

But then came the internet and buying online saved your sanity. Suddenly you were able buy everything you need, at bargain prices, and it was delivered to your door. What was not to like?

Except, it doesn’t always go to plan, and not all online retailers are equal. When you buy something from a real shop you can simply take it back and get a refund. Yes, it means travelling out in your car again, but at least within a day or two the money is back in your account.

Hundreds – or even thousands – of miles away from your seller though, who has terms and conditions you didn’t read, and you could find online shopping is as stressful as battling the crowds in the High Street. So do your homework before you part with your money.

1. If you are buying a gift which the recipient may want to return weeks later, check the return deadlines.

2. Just because it’s on a website, doesn’t mean it’s in stock. Check whether the product is available

immediately or not, and also what the usual delivery times are, especially if you are buying fairly close to a special occasion or Christmas.

Always checking how you will send back your purchase if you need to. If you are buying a piece of furniture, and you have to pay for and arrange your own return, you should look elsewhere.

Find out where the product is being shipped from.

Goods coming from outside the EU are likely to be liable for import duty and that can make your bargain cost considerably more.

And even if the overseas supplier accepts returns, if you have to pay the postage, it could be more than the original purchase price.

If your purchase isn’t faulty, but just not what you wanted, you are covered by distance selling regulations so you will be entitled to a full refund. However this only applies to UK suppliers - an overseas seller doesn’t have to adhere to these rules and may only offer you a credit note.

Even UK suppliers can be evasive in responding to your return request. If your

emails and phone calls get ignored, it’s going to take some persistence to rescue your hard earned cash. So make sure you know who you are buying from. If you are any doubt, but you really want what they are selling, check their address, do an internet search on their company name and even use Google maps to view the outside of the premises they claim to operate from.

7. Anyone can set up an online shop – just because a website looks professional, it doesn’t mean that the outfit behind it is. Fraudsters may be just trying to steal money by selling you something that’s never going to turn up or worse, trying to steal your identity. If there’s no phone number or address on the site, and you’ve never heard of the company before, be very wary of handing over your card details.

8. When buying electrical items, particularly personal computing devices, do make sure you are buying from an authorised source. The manufacturer can refuse to honour the warranty if you’ve purchased from an unauthorised dealer.

Planting Trees and Shrubs

61

by Pippa Greenwood This is a great time of year to get planting – the soil is still holding a bit of warmth from the late summer and is now more moist and provides good conditions for roots to develop, spread and establish.

Trees, shrubs and woody climbers in particular are often a very good buy at this time of year so take a look at your garden and see what you could add, or perhaps consider removing that plant which has never quite done what you hoped….and replace it with something new.

Planting trees and shrubs is certainly not difficult, but it is one of those gardening tasks about which ideas seem to change regularly and it can be confusing if you read widely differing opinions and ideas. So what should you be doing if you have just decided to add a few trees to your garden?

A good planting hole or pit is essential, and you should sure that it is several inches (or better still more) larger

24

than the current spread of the roots of the tree or shrub that you are about to plant.

For years the advice has been that plenty of bulky organic matter should be incorporated in to the hole and the mixture with which you back fill it. Investigations now suggest that this may not necessarily be the best way of going about things: make the planting hole too ‘cosy’ and the tree’s roots may be inclined to stay in the hole and not venture out in to the surrounding soil. In a heavy clay soil a planting hole full of compost may also end up acting as a sump, so when the soil is wet the compost draws more moisture in to the hole, resulting in waterlogged roots and maybe even death.

All very logical, but then I would also suggest that if you garden on a very sandy, poor soil, a well-prepared planting pit (the bigger the better) which includes bulky organic matter such as garden compost will help to reduce the risk of

drying out, and increase the chances of the tree growing away well. Similarly, provided the organic matter is incorporated over a good enough sized area on a heavy soil, I think it does help to improve aeration and drainage around tree roots, especially if you incorporate some grit too.

Well rotted manure (ideally from a known source), garden compost and proprietary bagged compost are all useful in planting holes and if it is largely an improvement in soil texture which you are after, then home-made leafmould is great too, and you can even use the compost from this summer’s patio tubs and planters (provided you are sure that it is free from vine weevil grubs).

Next , to tease or not to tease the roots? I’m a teaser every time, having seen thousands of trees fail because their pot-bound roots never moved out in to the soil properly, if at all. Planting depth is important too, so do make

Please mention the magazine when contacting Advertisers

sure that you cover the roots, and only the roots, with soil.

Even the compost level in the pot is often too deep, so start from scratch if necessary.

Laying a straight cane over the top of the planting hole will help you to gauge the correct depth more easily.

When I worked for the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley my job as Plant Pathologist entailed looking at thousands of dead and dying plants each year – it was scary to see just how many trees and shrubs failed to thrive or just died because they had not been correctly planted . There is no doubt that excessively deep planting and entangled and pot-bound roots were the main cause of all that plant

suffering, so do take the time to get it right.

regular thorough waterings will be needed during dry Rates Advertiser’s Guide weather, especially for the first couple of years after planting. If you don’t get the aftercare right, both the plant and all that time and effort (and enthusiasm) can easily be lost.

Then of course there is staking. I suggest only doing this with large trees, apples on very dwarfing rootstocks or if the site is extremely windy as a tree will get tougher and more resilient if given a chance to move around slightly and so form a strong trunk. If you do stake, short stakes at an angle are now regarded as best, and do use a good quality tree tie, properly fitted so that the tree’s bark is not chaffed.

Finally, remember that aftercare is essential,

And Another Thing...

Data Protection

61

by Tom Hughes

My question is this: how do you get your number removed from the phone book when the phone book no longer exists? For us it’s too late, our number must now be on every data base in the world judging by the frequency of the nuisance calls that ring our line every night.

Clive began tapping away on his keyboard. I decided to put him at his ease.

You can always tell it’s a sales call because of the opening line: “Don’t worry Sir, this isn’t a sales call.” I usually put the receiver next to the radio and return to scooping out my butternut squash.

Clive gave me a funny look then started the inquisition.

Questions about my income I expected. Questions about my haircuts and gambling habits I did not. Then, fatally for loan applicants and indeed bank robbers, I got the giggles.

But I don’t want to dwell on the things I don’t want, rather I’d like to relay the story of how I went to get something I actually needed – a loan from the bank.

My beloved Mondeo (half leather heated seats, 6 CD changer) was on her last legs so a new chariot was required.

Clive, my loan adviser at my local branch was more than helpful. Fresh faced and eager to please, he guided me to a booth designed in such a way as to guarantee the queue behind could eavesdrop on me disclosing all my personal information.

“Oh you use a computer to do this now do you?”

on my bacon, and maple syrup is very expensive, so –“ “You had maple syrup on your bacon for breakfast?”

“Yes. And pancakes.”

“Oh yes, we use computers for everything.”

“Pancakes, bacon and syrup?”

“Well, who’d have thought it?”

Clive gave me a look that suggested I had placed my application in jeopardy. His countenance seemed to stiffen.

Curtly he announced, “I’m a porridge man myself.”

I wanted to share with him my concerns about barber costs rising if ever the Kevin Keegan perm came back into vogue, but I couldn’t form the words because of the accursed sniggers. Somehow I remained calm enough to complete the application. At the end of the process Clive was prompted to ask me if I had any questions.

“Clive, are you sure you don’t want to know what I had for breakfast?”

“It’s OK Mr Hughes, that question was not on my form.”

“It’s just that I had maple syrup

“It’s called a Canadian breakfast.”

An image of Clive lumbering down his street covered in oats flicked into my mind. Clive brought me back in the room with the words every bank customer dreads.

“Ok Mr Hughes, before I put this application through I have to read to you this declaration. Is that OK?” Clive produced an A4 sheet of paper with text so minuscule only The Borrowers could read it. He took a deep breath and commenced. The meaningless phrases came zinging towards me like tracer fire from across no man’s land. I leaned forward wincing, trying to catch his drift. Eventually I gave up and resorted to a half smile and my

Please mention the magazine when contacting Advertisers

“I’m not listening” nod.

“You mean I’ve been refused?”

“From who?”

After he’d finished neither of us were any the wiser but the reading of the declaration signalled an imminent decision.

In my head I heard a drum roll of expectation as the little hourglass on the screen nervously flipped over and over.

The tension was unbearable.

Clive made a polite request.

“You failed on your credit score.”

“Well, you.”

Rates

“Mr Hughes, can you stop banging on my desk please?”

“I’m not banging, I’m drumming.”

Clive glanced at me from over his specs. I desisted. Eventually, the computer came up with an answer. Clive stared at the screen and then gave me a smile so insincere that for a moment I thought I was talking to Dale Winton.

My giggling ceased. I leaned forward to see what injustice was now displayed on his screen.

Clive swung the monitor out of view, as though I was trying to pry into his personal browsing history.

I left the bank as impecunious as when I entered. On the way out my phone rang.

Not a fan of wallpaper but bored with paint?

Use your imagination and ingenuity to create all sorts of interesting decorative effects on your walls, says interiors expert Katherine Sorrell

Terrific Tiles Hard-wearing, longlasting, easy to clean and potentially highly decorative, tiles are often overlooked as a wallcovering other than for the inevitable bathroom or kitchen splashback. Yet they are available in as great a variety of colours and patterns as wallpaper, and can have just as much impact. They can be super-shiny or matt and understated; sleek and machinemade or wobbly, rustic and handmade; even and smooth, or knobbly and textured; even digitally printed with your own designs.

Something to suit every style.

Why not consider tiled walls for hallways, conservatories, laundry rooms and utility rooms? Given their fabulous decorative potential, they may also work as part of a living area, too.

Just how a tiled area looks – whether it’s a whole wall or a

small splashback – depends on a variety of factors. Their colour, pattern and texture are most important, of course, but size (from huge slabs to tiny mosaic) matters, too, while shape also plays a part.

While most tiles are square or rectangular, other shapes are available, and can create complex patterns that have enormous impact. Your chosen layout also makes a difference, whether it’s a simple grid, an offset design (also known as brick bond), herringbone, pinwheel or random. Will you add borders or mix two or more patterns? How wide apart will your tiles be spaced?

And what colour grout will you choose? Tiling may not be as simple as it first seems – but it can certainly be rewarding.

Timber panelling Wood panelling keeps heat in and noises out, and is great for disguising wonky walls and. More than that, though, it has fabulous warmth and character. Choose fielded panelling for classic feel, or simple tongue and groove for that cosy, country look. Leave natural or paint to co-ordinate

Different types of tiles Ceramic: relatively inexpensive, don’t need sealing or polishing and are easily wiped clean.

Porcelain: heavier and harder-wearing than ceramic, and can often be used outdoors as well as inside. Surface effects include natural stone, metals, concrete, fabric, wood and leather.

Glass: clear, frosted and coloured, and have a lovely, translucent appearance.

Mosaics: small ceramic, glass, stone, metal or even shell tiles, usually supplied on a backing sheet and employed for small areas of decorative effect.

Natural stone: includes limestone, marble, granite and slate. Can be porous, so check whether they need to be sealed before use.

with the rest of the room – it’s up to you.

Mirror A wall (or a portion of it) covered with a sheet of mirror will reflect light around and instantly make the room seem bigger. The larger the mirror, the thicker it needs to be, so it’s often a good idea to get professional help to attach it securely.

Polished plaster A centuries-old Italian technique, also known as Venetian plaster, involves applying several thin coats of plaster and polishing with wax. The finished result boasts a lovely depth of colour and can resemble marble, stone or suede.

Fabric Choose your fabric, line it, stretch it, and staple it to battens fixed to the walls.

There’s no way around it:

this traditional technique is expensive. It looks amazing, however, and is helpful in insulating against cold and noise.

Composites and laminates They may seem dull, but in fact sheets of plastic laminate or solid composite have decorative potential. As they are waterproof and require few joins, they make an especially good choice for bathrooms.

Leather Costly but eye-catching and incredibly luxurious, leatherclad walls possess enormous character, while their patina, like that of a quality shoe, will develop over time. Apparently, they are even sound- and fireretardant.

Cork Cork sheets and tiles offer many appealing qualities, from being warm and soft to the touch to having insulating

and soundproofing benefits.

What’s more, they are highly Rates Advertiser’s Guide environmentally-friendly.

A range of modern colours, patterns and textures is available.

Buying gadgets can be tricky: if you’re buying for a grown-up there’s a very good chance that they’ve already bought the gadgets they want. But don’t despair, because it turns out that there are lots of gadgetrelated gifts you can buy for the man who has everything.

A good place to start is with a case. You can spend hundreds if you want something from a name designer, but firms such as Tuff-Luv make really nice vintage leather Kindle cases for around £40. And of course you can get leather cases for other devices such as laptops and tablets too.

If he hasn’t already got a tablet, there are plenty of alternatives to the all-conquering iPad and iPad Mini. Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD (£89) is good for ebooks and movies, and a range of affordable Windows 8 tablets have been launched by the likes of Asus, Acer and Toshiba, all below £200.

If he fancies himself as the next Jamie Oliver, Belkin’s Chef Stand and Wand (£29) is a smart gift idea. It’s a tablet stand designed specifically for the kitchen, enabling him to see the recipe (or the tutorial videos if he’s using cooking apps or YouTube) without getting it covered in food. If he’s more of

32

an outdoor cooking type, iGrill’s range of smartphone-connected thermometers (from around £34.99) give him a new toy to play with while he’s burning burgers.

One of the more unusual new gadgets we’ve seen is the PlayBulb, a bluetooth speaker that’s also an LED light bulb.

The £59 device is controlled via an iPhone and Android app that enables you play music and, er, turn the light on and off.

For sporty types there are stacks of gadget gifts, such as the Fitbit Flex activity tracker (£75), the Zepp motion sensor for tennis players (£129), Garmin’s Forerunner GPS watches (£89) and the TomTom Multi-Sport GPS Watch (£149).

If you really want to delight a gadget fan, this year’s hot technology is the smartwatch - of which LG’s G Watch R is one of the nicest. The price hadn’t been announced as we went to press but the Androidcompatible smartwatch is likely to be keenly priced - not least because Apple has its own smartwatch, which is likely to be a big seller this Christmas.

If he’s already shelled out for a smart watch, how about a drone? Parrot’s AR.Drone 2.0 (£224) is a smartphone-

controlled quadricopter, a flying drone that can stream high definition video back to the owner’s phone or tablet. There are drones to suit all budgets, from the £36 Quadricopter X4 to drones costing more than £600.

Many bigger drones are designed to carry GoPro cameras, which are small high definition cameras that can be attached to almost anything.

Our current favourite video, a YouTube hit, was made by strapping a GoPro to a dog’s collar and then letting it sprint down to the beach for a swim, but we’ve seen GoPros strapped to bike helmets, to remote controlled cars and even to musical instruments.

Expect to pay from around £199.

You don’t have to spend lots of money for a great gadget gift, though. The excellent Aeropress coffee maker produces brews that rival the world’s most expensive coffee machines, and you can pick one up - brand new - for around £25.

Life Begins Confronting the Cold Some Simple Tips to Keep Safe and Warm Over Winter

By Kate McLelland

61

Over 24,000 people will be so badly affected by the cold this winter that their lives will be at risk. The charity Age UK has estimated that 1.7 million older people in Britain cannot afford to heat their homes, and many have admitted to living mainly in one room to save on energy bills.

In Britain we have some of the least energy efficient homes in Europe and many households could reduce fuel bills by using simple techniques such as cavity insulation. You can check your eligibility for a government grant towards energy saving improvements at www.gov.uk.

In addition to grants, there are payments available to help with fuel bills. People born on or before 5 July 1952 will get tax-free, automatic payments of between £100-£300 if they are receiving the State Pension or another social security benefit (not including Housing Benefit, Council Tax Reduction, Child Benefit or Universal Credit).

You can learn more about Winter Fuel Payments by calling 08459 151515 (8.30am4.30pm, Monday to Friday) or visiting www.gov.uk/winter-fuelpayment.

If you’re not eligible for government support, there are still some things you can do to keep heating bills down,

34

for example, comparing your current gas and electricity supplier’s prices against other providers at www.uswitch. com.

The expression “Every little helps” may have been hijacked by one of our leading supermarkets but it’s particularly true if you can’t afford to heat your house. Here are some more practical steps you can take to keep the cold at bay: Clothing and exercise It’s better to wear several thin layers rather than one thick one, because each layer traps warm air close to the body. Choose clothes to made from fleecy fabrics, wool or cotton. A lot of warmth is lost through the head and neck, so don’t hesitate to wear a hat and scarf indoors.

Try not to sit still for long periods of time, but if you have to sit, keep your feet off the ground and cover yourself with a shawl or a blanket.

Energy saving tips Draw your curtains as soon as it gets dark to stop the heat escaping. Keep windows and doors closed.

Have the central heating system regularly serviced to ensure that it is working as efficiently as possible, keep the chimney swept and do

your best to insulate against draughts.

Set your central heating to the right temperature - your main living room should be around 21ºC (70ºF) and your bedroom should be around 18ºC (65ºF). It’s more energy efficient to extend the period your heating is on than turn up the thermostat when it’s cold.

Switch TVs and microwaves off at the wall rather than leaving them on standby, and don’t add any more water than necessary when boiling the kettle.

Food Drink plenty of hot drinks throughout the day. Make sure you have regular hot meals that include carbohydrates such as potatoes, rice, pasta and bread. Have porridge with hot milk for breakfast and soups and stews for lunch and dinner. Keep healthy by eating fruit and vegetables.

If all this sounds rather depressing, remember that on average the UK only experiences a maximum five or six really cold days each year.

While it’s difficult to face those freezing temperatures, it helps to know that our winter woes will quickly be forgotten as soon as the spring sunshine appears.

Whether you have myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia/ hypermetropia (long-sightedness) or presbyopia (diminished close vision, which often affects the over 45s) there are a number of corrective options available.

Glasses Most lenses are now made from durable, scratch resistant, lightweight plastics. Special techniques can make lenses lighter and thinner (ideal for high prescription glasses), reduce glare and provide tints or ultraviolet protection. Bifocal, trifocal and varifocal lenses allow one pair of glasses to be used for near and distance vision, while photochromic lenses can instantly turn normal glasses into sunglasses.

Pros: good correction.

Cons: poor peripheral vision; inconvenience, particularly during bad weather, changing temperatures or playing sports.

Contact Lenses Both rigid and soft versions let oxygen on to the eye, keeping the eye healthy and allowing extended wear. Toric lenses to correct astigmatism and bifocal lenses are available too.

Soft contact lenses are made from a plastic polymer with high water content. They’re easier to adapt to than rigid lenses and more comfortable, but are easily damaged. Choose daily or monthly disposable versions, or non-disposables (cleaned daily and changed yearly).

Rigid gas permeable contact lenses are made from silicone polymers and provide better vision correction of some 61

36

Eyesight Correction – Making your Options Clear eyesight problems, and greater durability, than soft lenses.

Pros: more convenient than glasses; better peripheral vision.

Cons: infection risk (reduced in disposable or rigid lenses).

Surgery Vision correction surgery can correct myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia, and generally results seem long-lasting. Complications occur in fewer than 5% of cases and severe vision loss is very rare.

Surgery isn’t appropriate for everyone. If you have a medical or eye condition, are taking regular medication, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss this with your surgeon.

LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) A flap of corneal tissue is lifted using a blade or laser. The exposed section is then reshaped using an excimer laser, and the flap replaced. Wave-front LASIK, a more refined version, tackles irregularities in the eye, so that night vision, for instance, can be improved along with eyesight.

Pros: Minimal pain; fast healing and vision recovery.

Cons: Not always suitable for high prescriptions (the cornea may become dangerously thin).

Epi-LASIK An instrument called an epikeratome separates a fine slice of the epithelial (surface) layer of the cornea. The cornea underneath is reshaped with a laser.

PRK (photorefractive keratectomy) Overtaken LASIK and LASEK, today PRK is predominantly

used to correct low prescriptions.

A layer of epithelial tissue is removed before the cornea is reshaped by laser.

Pros: Little corneal tissue is removed, so the remaining cornea is strong.

Cons: Healing and vision improvement take longer than for LASIK and LASEK. LASEK (laser epithelial keratomileusis) The epithelial layer of the cornea is retained as a flap, and the cornea reshaped by laser.

Pros: Less discomfort than PRK. Retaining the epithelium may help to prevent complications and speed up healing. A good choice for patients with thin corneas.

LTK (Laser Thermokeratoplasty) A holmium laser applies a circle of heat spots to reshape the cornea by contraction.

Pros: No cutting; the procedure takes seconds.

Cons: Can only correct low hyperopia prescriptions.

Effectiveness may reduce over time.

Vision Training There are many exercise programs and apps that claim to correct poor eyesight. But most experts agree that there’s no evidence that they work.

Before making any decisions, seek advice from your optometrist or eye consultant.

By law, your optometrist must supply a written copy of your vision prescription, which can be fulfilled anywhere you choose.

If one of this column’s conceits is that every month has its theme, then perhaps November should be anti-terrorism month. For this is when we commemorate and celebrate the thwarting of the great plot to blow up Parliament along with the newlyinstalled Scottish Protestant king, James I & IV. tnemyaP

The fate of the conspirators, personified by the crackling figure of the guy, is a warning to us all that blowing up things, however strong the temptation, is simply not on. But there’s another side to Bonfire Night and that’s the togetherness and fellow-feeling of the decent majority, symbolised by the warmth of the bonfire and cheering comfort foods such as treacle toffee and parkin. So here are two seasonal specials to match. .trevda fo noitacilbup eetnaraug ot htnom hcae fo ht61 yb deviecer eb tsum tnemyap dna ypoC .edam si tnemyap lluf nehw deetnaraug ylno si ecaps tnemesitrevdA .htnom hcae 000,8 ot pu srebmun noitubirtsiD

The first is a variant on Newcastle Brown, Newcastle Nocturnal. It bills itself as “the perfect partner to the season where the clocks fall back and the evenings draw in”. It’s an attractive dark copper in colour, with a warm caramel aroma spiced up by the addition of rye malt. The body and flavour are surprisingly light and fresh and not at all sweet or cloying, while the finish is quite dry and a little sharp.

Stronger and richer is Innis & Gunn’s seasonal variation on its usual oak-aged ale.

This one is finished over Canadian black cherrywood and rounded off with a squirt of maple syrup to create a gorgeously toffee-ish nose; complex and sweetish flavours of spice and fruit; and a finish with a pineapple chunk fruitiness. A beautiful beer for November, but have a care: it’s 7.4% alcohol!

On 29th November a draft treaty between Britain and France was signed. It was for a joint project to build a supersonic airliner.

61

BA’s and Air France’s Concordes made their first commercial flights on 21st January 1976. They had been beaten into the skies by the USSR’s Tupolev TU-144, but this aircraft only ever carried mail and the project was abandoned after a fatal crash at the 1973 Paris Air Show.

Concorde could cross the Atlantic in under three and a half hours, enabling BA to boast that you were able to ‘Arrive before you leave’. Its illustrious and all-too-short history was blighted by a crash just after taking off from Charles de Gaulle Airport

...November 1962? on 5th July 2000. None of the passengers and crew survived.

In April 2003 it was announced that Concorde would be retired from service. A bid by Richard Branson to buy the BA fleet was unsuccessful and on 24th October that year people in London turned their eyes skywards at the familiar thunder for the last time. And this time their pride was mixed with sadness.

1st: The US resumed its blockade of Russian ships to Cuba, following a twoday suspension during negotiations to halt the stationing of weapons on America’s doorstep.

3rd: The New York Times recorded the first use of the term ‘personal computer’.

John W Mauchly, inventor of some of the first room-size computers, predicted that

within a few decades, ‘…there is no reason to suppose the average boy or girl cannot be master of a personal computer.’ I could have told him that - it’s why I go looking for a teenager whenever I have a problem with the blooming things.

4th: The first Mexican Grand Prix was won by Jim Clark and Trevor Taylor.

6th: Saudi Arabia announced the abolition of slavery.

10th: The unfortunately titled ‘Nowhere to Go But Up’ opened at the Winter Gardens Theatre, New York.

Petrol cost about 5/- a gallon The average price of a house was about £2,700

17th: The unfortunately titled ‘Nowhere to Go But Up’ closed at the Winter Gardens Theatre, New York.

Three of the bestselling singles this year were:

20th: The USSR agreed to remove bombers from Cuba and the US lifted its blockade.

Lovesick Blues, Frank Ifield Telstar, The Tornados Big Girls Don’t Cry, The Four Seasons

26th: A group of four musicians made their first recordings under the name of the Beatles.

Short Shorts by Patrick D Cousins is available from Amazon; you can hear the song from Rainbows, Dreams and Angels on YouTube.

green foliage and deep red blooms – or do you prefer a sophisticated blend of silver and white? What about an earthy palette, combining dried oranges and cinnamon sticks with orangey-brown chrysanthemums?

Theme: Country cottage charm? Quirky retro?

Traditional splendour or urban cool? There are flowers to suit every mood and you can add a range of extras, from silver baubles to spray-painted garden twigs, to support your chosen theme.

The festive season provides the perfect distraction from the midwinter blues by prompting us to decorate our homes inside and out, but an overload of festive ‘bling’ sometimes makes us forget about the simpler pleasures of Christmas, particularly when it comes to buying fresh flowers.

Having decided on the colour, theme and location, it’s time to think about the type of vase or container you will use. Try to choose one that is compatible with your chosen theme. If you haven’t got a vase of a suitable colour, you could tie a ribbon around it in a colour that matches the floral display.

Flowers are a treat for the senses and it’s worth taking time to work out exactly how you can use them to best effect. Before you rush down to the florist, take a minute to think about location, colour and theme.

Make sure that you clean your vase thoroughly before adding the flowers, using bleach or Milton tablets and a bottle brush. It’s vital to use flower food if you want your bouquet to last: you can make a solution yourself using a quarter of a teaspoon of bleach, two tablespoons of lemon juice and one tablespoon of sugar in a quart (1136ml) of warm water.

Location: where will the flowers be on display? What size is the room? Make sure you buy flowers that are right for the space – for example, strongly scented flowers such as lilies may be overpowering in a small room.

Colour: do you like seasonal colours – shiny

42

If you are creating a table centrepiece, the golden rule is that their colour of the arrangement should harmonise with the tablecloth, napkins and crackers. A

crowded table might look better with just one or two stems placed in narrow bottles, arranged along the middle.

One of the most distinctive aspects of a traditional, seasonal arrangement is the use of deep green foliage, but remember that evergreen branches have woody stems that can sometimes be reluctant to absorb water. You can give tough stems a head start by plunging them into a mug containing a couple of inches of boiling water and leaving them for a minute to “sear”.

There are many more tricks and tips you can employ to keep your flowers looking great right through to New Year and you’ll find lots of inspirational videos on YouTube (www.youtube. com). Flowers can be more expensive at Christmas time, but you can create some fantastic arrangements by supplementing a few choice blooms with evergreen leaves and decorations.

If you’re tempted to take up flower arranging as a hobby, then you’ll find some helpful information at www.nafas.org. uk, where you’ll be able to find out about local clubs, courses and classes.

A festive floral arrangement provides us with a simple reminder that spring is on its way, so this year, don’t forget to say “Happy Christmas” in the language of flowers.

Carrie looked up from the library photocopier at the young man. It was the same one she’d been discretely watching across the bookshelves as he struggled to finish his essay. ssegruB neraK daoR enwodsgni K 81 ZJ6 6TK ,yerruS ,notibruS 6900 4728 020 :leT 18530029070 :xaF moc.noinapmocsdnalyrreb@nerak :liamE moc.noinapmocsdnalyrreb.www :beW

“I need to enlarge this picture and I’m not sure how”, he said.

Carrie reasoned that she had only been watching him because she thought he might be the poor bloke that Marissa had got her claws into. She could see why; even though he was wearing his jumper inside out, he was rather cute.

As well as being a student, Carrie worked evenings at the college library, and had come to notice most things.

For example, she’d seen him cast anxious glances at the library clock, and suspected that tonight was the night that Marissa had finally agreed to go on a date with him. There was a big Bonfire Party in town, and she’d overheard Marissa boasting that this guy was so besotted with her he would be buying her entry ticket and her drinks all night. Poor man, what was he letting himself in for?

Carrie stared at the book he was holding out to her.

“I’m sorry?” she said.

“I need to enlarge this”, he said apologetically, “I’m in a bit of a hurry”.

If he was hoping to catch the six o’clock bus into town, Carrie thought, he was cutting it rather fine. Slowly, she took the book.

“Sure, what do you want enlarging?”

“It’s the Palace of

Westminster”. He pointed to the page, “I need it blowing up”.

She looked at the picture and laughed.

“That’s the Houses of Parliament isn’t it?”

“Yes”, he adjusted his glasses, “it’s for an essay”.

“You’re asking me to help you blow up the Houses of Parliament?” She giggled, “tonight of all nights?” He stared at her blankly.

“It’s bonfire night”, she explained.

“Course!”, he grinned, “I’m going to a bonfire party”.

“Got a hot date lined up?”

Carrie said, and laughed at her own joke.

“Something like that”. He blushed.

“We don’t want you to be late”.

Carrie smiled, “I bet she’ll have you hung drawn and quartered”. Knowing Marissa, thought Carrie, that’s the least she would do. He laughed nervously.

Carrie placed the book carefully on the photocopier, “Does this make me a coconspirator?” she asked, and pressed a few buttons.

“About what?” he said.

“About your gunpowder plot?”

“Oh yeah”. He glanced at the clock again and winced. Carrie bit her lip and pressed the start button. Nothing happened.

“That’s odd”. She gave the machine a kick. It stayed silent.

Carrie methodically went through the whole process

again, twice; patiently checking everything, but still nothing.

“I’m sorry, the machine’s playing up”, she sighed, “our technician will be back in an hour, can you come back then?”

The library clock chimed six.

The young man slumped against the wall. The bus was leaving without him.

“Cheer up”, Carrie said guiltily, “I’m sure she won’t mind waiting”. It was common knowledge that Marissa waited for nobody. She took a deep breath, “I’m finishing work now. Can I buy you a drink in the student bar to help pass the time?”

“Why not?” He managed a smile, “You’ve been really helpful”.

“I’m Carrie”. She comically held out her hand, “What’s your name?”

“It’s Guy”, he smiled and shook it warmly. “Guy Fawkes”.

“You’re joking?”

“Got you”. he grinned, “It’s Tom”.

“I’ll get my stuff and meet you there in five”. Carrie waved him off, and, as walked away, bent down and switched the photocopier back on.

Cake and Bake Lamingtons

61

These scrumptious small Australian cakes are made with a whisked light and buttery sponge which is coated in a quick chocolate icing and desiccated coconut. They may be a little fiddly to make but it’s well worth the effort!

Ingredients: SPONGE • 4 large eggs • 115g caster sugar • 115g plain flour, sifted • 40g unsalted butter, melted and cooled ICING AND COATING • 450g icing sugar • 50g cocoa powder • 70g unsalted butter, melted • 225g desiccated coconut

TIP

Pop the sponge squares in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before coating in the icing – they will be a little firmer to handle and the icing will set more quickly.

Makes 9 cakes Ready in 1 hour, plus cooling and setting 50

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Grease a 23cm square cake tin and line the base with baking paper.

2. To make the sponge, place the eggs and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Whisk together with a hand-held electric whisk until the mixture is very thick and pale and leaves a trail on the surface when the whisk is lifted. Remove the bowl from the saucepan.

3. Sift over the flour and fold in gently then pour over the melted butter and fold in until just incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until risen, golden and springy to the touch. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes then turn the cake out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely. Cut the cold cake into 9 squares.

4. To make the icing, sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder into a large bowl. Stir in the melted butter and 75ml boiling water and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth.

5. Spread the coconut on a large flat plate. Take each sponge square and dip in the chocolate icing to coat completely, using two forks to gently turn the sponge square. Lift the coated square out of the icing and shake to allow any excess icing to fall back into the bowl.

6. Roll the iced square in the coconut to coat all over. Place on a board lined with baking paper and leave to set.

Repeat with the rest of the sponge squares.

Everyone knows that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing these days, but there are other, more mundane things that don’t seem to make sense. When you think about it life is full of paradoxes and contradictions. noitubirtsiD

Children - They start off being too small to sit at the table. Then, when they’re teenagers, they become too tall to bend down and pick their clothes up from the floor.

Dogs - You’re the owner but they’re the masters. Eventually they will have you trained in obedience, agility (chasing after them, saving ornaments and rescuing visitors), and foodsharing.

Cars - The more prestigious and impressive they are, the more helpless you are when they go

wrong.

Satnav - Specifically designed to get you swiftly from A to B, but you’ll still find time to argue with it even while you follow its commands.

Holidays - A break from your home and work, so you can worry about your home and work, before missing one and resenting the other. By the time you finally get into the holiday spirit it’s time to come home again.

Television - You’ll flick through 20 channels, just to confirm how much rubbish is on, even though you went meticulously through the listings beforehand. Meanwhile, you’re avoiding any of the 50 hours of ‘must see’ TV you’ve recorded in the last six months.

Age - The older you get, the less you feel you know - or trust. History keeps changing and yet, despite technological advances, the future looks remarkably like the past - only it’s called retro. © Derek Thompson www.alongthewritelines.blogspot.com

The Better Life Time to Reflect

by Derek Thompson

61

Now that the harvest is officially over (bar some sprouts and a couple of leeks), November is our time for pause and renewal.

Just as Oct 31st signified the Celtic New Year, we celebrate our growing successes and consider our failures, much like a Better Life school report.

A bit like the spuds I planted recently, it’s a mixed bag.

Biology - The so-called weed that flourished in the raised bed turned out to be an oriental poppy, bearing 16 flower heads. Full marks for bird poop or windfall, and my procrastination.

Geography - My guerrilla gardening efforts at work were a little underwhelming. The four mange tout I secreted in the communal garden struggled (insufficient light) until, finally, the sole survivor yielded two actual mange tout. Must do better!

Home Economics - Full marks to Anne and the garden. The butternut squash survived the mollusc hordes (as I’ve said before, there’s never a hedgehog around when you need one, although we did once find a poop on the front doorstep) and, along with homemade fennel bread, rhubarb crumble and lettuce

54

were the standout successes.

PE - I clocked up 250 cycling miles in 12 months, commuting to my part-time job - aside from the mile-long round trip for the Post Office run (amble!). Also, digging for victory helped to cancel out the calories.

History - I was better at recording planting dates on the calendar for forward planning, helping to ensure the garden remained productive and sustainable. A WWII crop rotation leaflet proved useful too, once laminated for outdoor service.

Chemistry - Our do-it-yourself plant feeds seem to work, but the trial became skewed when I felt sorry for the underprivileged specimens. We made nettle feed for growing and comfrey feed (donated by a neighbour) for flowers or fruits. Both Anne and the cat were put off by the stench though, so we’ll need a quarantined area next time.

Woodwork - Full marks again, to our neighbour. If you can find yourself a retired carpenter with tools and free time, it’s well worth bartering to sort out their computer problems!

Physics - A raised bed with insufficient soil is little more than a wooden frame. I think

I discovered some as yet unidentified law of volume that states it always takes more bags of soil and compost than you have to hand.

Drama - Somehow, we cornered the market this year in micro garlic. Indoors, the chilli peppers, alas, burned brightly but briefly - except on the tongue. In a surprise twist the rogue tomato seed in the compost proved to be sun gold, yielding dozens of belladonna beauties. Maybe I’ll grow to like the taste one day.

Reading - I’ve started to read seed packets more carefully, so that we plant according to the climate and soil from now on!

Our main growing lessons: - Assume there will be losses even early on and plant accordingly.

- Be decisive when it comes to taking ailing plants out.

Otherwise they’re taking up nutrients as well as space.

- Experiment. Much as the experts would love to tell you otherwise, there are no hard and fast rules - only what works on your patch of soil.

Be bold!

Overall, I’d give us a B minus for effort and a C plus for achievement. And now we move up a year!

wo major developments that could affect life in Tolworth for years to come have just been put forward for consultation – and it’s important local people have their say.

First, initial ideas to build over 800 homes, including a 23-storey apartment block, on the site of the old Government Offices by Tolworth roundabout, have been published.

Second, there’s a formal consultation on the future location of mental health service inpatient facilities for all south west London – where the preferred option would see significant rebuilding on the Tolworth Hospital site, including investment of £60 million to improve the services for people suffering from various mental health problems.

From supermarket to high rise housing Earlier this year, I and many local residents were jubilant because our ten year-long campaign against a major superstore by Tolworth roundabout achieved its aim, as Tesco announced it had dropped plans for a superstore for good.

At the time, I repeated my long held view that the site was needed for more family housing and new community facilities, and told Tesco I envisaged a mix development of between 300 and 400 homes. While I know some residents would prefer no development there at all, and have criticised me, I’m clear we desperately need more housing locally, that this site is Kingston’s largest brownfield site and that this site is far more preferable than alternative plans to plough up most of the Royal Borough’s remaining greenbelt.

So I am extremely disappointed that the ideas published by Tesco’s team do not match those local needs. You can see their ideas for yourself at formergovernmentofficestolworth.co.uk.

In my view, the scale of the overdevelopment proposed is breath taking: it is utterly out of keeping with the area, whether it’s the density, or the height of many of the apartment blocks (23-storey, 12 storey, 8-storey etc). Few of the proposed apartments are 3 bedroomed or indeed the 4 or 5 bedroomed affordable family homes that are in such short supply locally. Community use is conspicuous by its absence – despite being in the local development plan of the last council.

When I visited the developer’s exhibition on the Broadway, I was told these ideas were only to provoke debate, that the developers would listen and be flexible and that they might consider funding community needs such as local

Advert copy can be emailed to: karen@berrylandcompanion.com If your ad is not available in an electronic format then we can produce it for you, from your own hard copy text, normally for a fixed price of just £10, although this may be higher if you have a particularly complex advert!

Distribution

Copy and payment must be received by 16th of each month to guarantee publication of advert.

Advertisement space is only guaranteed when full payment is made.

Distribution numbers up to 8,000 each month.

The Companion will be published and distributed monthly, on or around the first weekend of the month. 10 editions a year.

It will be delivered to over 12,000 homes in and around Berrylands and Surbiton over two months - guaranteed.

In addition it is the first source of local information for anyone moving into the area.

While that sounded positive, I’m afraid I got no sense that issues like the scale, height or density were up for significant change. Perhaps it’s early days, but I will oppose any formal planning application that comes forward that is similar to this. Yes to significant numbers of new homes, but no to massive overdevelopment.

It is an A5 size booklet, stapled with colour plus black and white printed on quality paper.

The Companion will be printed on 115gsm gloss paper giving it a very high quality feel.

It will have ‘longevity’ and because of it’s size, content, look and feel it will be kept by the majority of households until the next issue arrives, thereby giving advertisers ‘immdiacy’ of access’ when their services are required.

I have long argued the case for major new investment in local mental health services. I strongly agree with the oftrepeated phrase that “mental health is the Cinderella of the NHS” – and am delighted that Nick Clegg has taken such a strong stand on this issue.

So while this plan may also not be welcome by some people, I am personally delighted at the possibility that Tolworth Hospital has the chance to win £60 million of new investment – both to bring much needed improvements in the quality of facilities there and to enable an expansion of the services offered.

A new NHS consultation – “Inpatient mental health services in south west London” – was launched last month and closes on 21st December. You can see it at www. kingstonccg.nhs.uk or call 020 5313 6006 for a copy.

I back the preferred option for Tolworth Hospital. Not only would this see some existing inadequate and poor standard facilities rebuilt, but some specialist services would be relocated from Springfield University Hospital in Tooting to Tolworth. The preferred option proposes transferring a number of services for children, such as the eating disorder services, as well as the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder and body dysmorphia and specialist services for deaf adult patients.

The proposal would not include building any homes on the site – which would, as now, remain focused entirely on health provision.

The other good news for local people is that there will be plenty of time to help shape these proposals – whether it’s the current consultation or any future planning application that may follow the results of the consultation.

I’m keen to hear your views so I can better understand all local opinion – whether on the housing proposals on the old government offices site or at Tolworth Hospital. You might have major objections. You might support one or both of the plans. You might have detailed comments.
