Hello Readers

nce again it’s almost Christmas! I just cannot believe how quick another year has gone by. This month we have a few new advertisers, which I hope you will find useful. There are some Christmas Fair adverts in this issue, but if your event is in December, please submit them by the 8th November. Are you going to a pantomime, what about Cinderella at Wimbledon Theatre? See the advert opposite and you might be interested in the history of panto, on page 46.

Back to this month, I hope you all have a safe and enjoyable firework night. Please remember to check

for sleepy hedgehogs in any bonfire bases, before lighting them. Check all your pets are somewhere safe, and let the neighbours know about your party, so they can check their pets as well. Rates

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.

I mentioned something last month, but I will ask again. Is there anyone who thinks they can publish A Berrylands Companion magazine? I have been publishing the magazine for over 14 years, and I am now considering retiring. If you are interested, please get in touch. Format & Design

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.

The Gift of Reading

Looking for the perfect book to give someone this Christmas? Maybe we can help… The Giver of Stars – Jojo Moyes Times are hard in Kentucky at the end of the Great Depression. Five women set out to bring some light back into people’s lives, through books. This isn’t your average mobile library; the librarians have to travel hundreds of miles every week, on horseback. Amongst them is Margery – whose family and unconventional lifestyle mean she’s all but ostracised by ‘polite society’. And Alice – a lonely incomer far from home. A great story, great characters and great writing make The Giver of Stars the perfect gift.

The Hairy Bikers’ One Pot Wonders – Si King and Dave Myers The Hairy Bikers are back with another cookery book packed with more than 100 recipes. Create delicious dishes with minimum effort and mess. Recipes include Sausage and Bean Tray Bake, and Boozy Syllabub Trifle. Just make sure the recipient of your gift invites you over for dinner soon.

Never Have I Ever – Joshilyn Jackson A seemingly innocent game to liven up a book club turns into a tense game of cat and mouse as one woman threatens to reveal a longburied secret. How far will Amy go to protect the fragile life she’s built for herself? A good choice for fans of twisting, suspense-packed thrillers. The Secret Series – Pseudonymous Bosch Young adventure fans are sure to appreciate this series, starting with the first book – The Name of This Book is Secret. (My ten year old daughter devoured all five in quick succession.) Cass and Max-Ernest are unlikely friends who find themselves caught up in a quest to uncover a secret. Danger, mystery, friendship, villains and humour abound. Sweet Sorrow – David Nicholls It’s 1997. Charlie Lewis has just left school and has one long summer ahead of him

before finding a job and entering the world of adults. Joining a theatre group wasn’t in his plans, but if that’s what it takes to win the love of Fran Fisher, he’s prepared to unleash his (very) hidden thespian. An enjoyable, humorous book ideal for anyone who came of age in the 90s or who has bittersweet memories of their first love.

The Ten Thousand Doors of January – Alix E. Harrow January Scaller finds her first Door when she’s seven years old. It leads to somewhere far from her cosseted life as the foster daughter of a rich man. Little girls grow up and learn not to believe in the impossible. But then a strange book appears, just as January’s real father vanishes, and January sets out to discover the truth about Doors. One of the best fantasy books of 2019, this is a must for fans of Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman.

Too late to save for retirement?

We’re often told by financial experts that it’s never too late to start saving for retirement, and that even in our 50s building a substantial retirement pot is possible. Clearly this depends on individual circumstances and it’s always going to be better to start saving early, but it’s heartening to know you may still be able to fund a decent retirement lifestyle. Workplace pensions If you’re in employment, a workplace pension can often be the best way to save for your retirement. Your contributions are matched by your employer; they’re typically deducted from your gross pay automatically and attract tax relief.

Pension auto-enrolment, a government initiative intended to help people save for their retirement, means that if you’re aged over 22 and earn more than £10,000 per year you should automatically be enrolled in a workplace pension scheme.

If you’re close to retiring and also in debt, however, it might be better to prioritise paying off your debts rather than contributing to a pension, but you need to speak to an authorised financial

adviser who can assess your individual situation.

Personal pensions If you’re self-employed or not working you can benefit from tax relief on pension contributions by paying into a personal pension. Unlike a workplace pension scheme, a personal pension is an individual contract between yourself and the pension provider, which is often an insurance company.

Can you improve your situation when you do retire? The pension provider invests your contributions, but in the same way as a workplace pension you’re not able to access your money until you’re 55 years of age under current legislation.

What about the state pension? Under current legislation the full new state pension is £168.60 per week.¹ If you’re eligible, the amount you’ll receive depends on the number of ‘qualifying years’ of National Insurance

Stocks and shares ISAs Investment ISAs are another way to build up retirement savings, and the current maximum limit for saving into a stocks and shares ISA is £20,000 (2019/20 tax year). You need to make sure your money is growing above the inflation rate, however, otherwise you’re effectively losing money.

Stocks and shares ISAs offer more flexibility than pensions as you can access your money more readily, whereas workplace and private pensions aren’t usually accessible until you reach the age of 55. Investment ISA providers typically allow you to pay in a lump sum, ‘dripfeed’ in a monthly amount, or both. Some people choose to save into an investment ISA as well as a pension scheme, so they spread the investment risk and don’t tie up all of their money up in one place. As with most important financial matters, it’s important to seek guidance from an authorised adviser who can analyse your financial situation and present the best options. ¹www.gov.uk/new-statepension/what-youll-get

Flu and the Flu Vaccine: Myths and Facts

Flu isn’t new and neither is its vaccine, yet they still cause confusion. Let’s set things straight… The flu or a cold? Myth: Colds can’t make you feel really ill, give you a temperature or make your muscles ache. That’s flu. Colds generally don’t confine you to the couch, but they can cause muscle aches and high temperatures. A heavy cold can make you feel very poorly. Remember: • Colds usually comes on gradually; flu comes on rapidly. • Colds mainly affects your nose and throat. Flu can cause diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea and vomiting, plus fatigue, lack of appetite and difficulty sleeping. Children with flu are prone to ear pain too. Preventing flu Proper hygiene is vital to prevent flu spreading. Sufferers should wash their hands thoroughly and regularly, and bin used tissues immediately. In healthy adults, common flu

strains aren’t usually a serious risk; they recover in a week or two. However, the NHS recommends flu vaccinations to certain groups are at higher risk of catching flu and/or developing serious complications, and offers it free to anyone: • 65 or over. • Pregnant (protecting mother and foetus from complications and immunising the new-born for the first few months). • With certain medical conditions, including: chronic (long-term) respiratory, heart, kidney or liver diseases; chronic neurological conditions; diabetes; spleen issues; reduced immunity; severe obesity (BMI of 40 or above). • Living in a long-stay residential care home/facility. • Who cares for someone whose welfare may be at risk if they fall ill. It’s also offered to children. Healthy children under five are the age group most likely to be admitted to hospital with flu. Children aged two and three years should be offered

a vaccination and the nasal spray vaccine is offered annually in primary school. Children over six months old with a long-term health condition should be vaccinated too. Frontline health and social care workers should also be vaccinated (at their employers’ expense). About the flu vaccine Ideally, vaccination should occur before flu season (from December to March). Fact: You may still catch flu if you’re vaccinated. Flu vaccines are produced in advance and contain the three or four flu strains most likely to be prevalent during the next winter, so you may catch an unexpected or rarer strain. However, you’ll be protected from most strains you’ll encounter, and vaccinations help to prevent flu spreading. Myth: The flu vaccine can give you flu. It can’t, as it doesn’t contain active viruses, but it may cause a temporary temperature and muscle aches. Flu-like symptoms may be from another virus or from flu caught before the vaccine took effect (immunity is achieved 10-14 days afterwards). Treating the flu Flu is caused by a virus, not bacteria, so antibiotics won’t help. If you do catch flu, rest and stay warm and hydrated. Paracetamol or ibuprofen will help lower your temperature and ease aching. Flu medications may also contain these as ingredients, so read medication leaflets carefully to avoid overdosing. See your doctor if symptoms don’t improve after a week, or immediately if you’re at risk of complications.

The perfect party make-up starts with the right base. Urban Decay’s new Stay Naked Weightless Liquid Foundation (£29.50) is waterproof, longlasting and available in a staggering 50 shades. The light texture is similar to a tinted moisturiser and you can build it up for the coverage that’s right for you, whether that’s barely there or airbrushed perfection. Head to an Urban Decay counter for help choosing the right shade. Don’t fancy battling through the Christmas shoppers? Try the online colourchoosing tool. For a flawless finish, follow up with the Stay Naked Correcting Concealer (£20), which is semimatte, designed to last all day (and night) and available in 25 shades. See www. urbandecay.co.uk. 61

Give someone the

gift of pain-free hair styling. The Alfa Italia Liscio detangling brush (from www.alfaitaliapro. com) is suitable for wet or dry hair and makes detangling a breeze. The bristles make short work of tangles but are gentle enough

10 10

not to snag or break hair. The brush is also an ideal stocking filler, being priced at under £10 and just the right size to fit in the toe of a large stocking.

With their glittery design and baby soft fibres, StylPro brushes are perfect for Christmas. They don’t use animal hair, so they’re suitable for vegans. Treat someone to the set, or split them up to use as stocking fillers. The set of eight is priced at £39.99 from Argos, so each brush works out at around £5. See www. styltom.co.uk. A brand new makeup palette reminds me of untouched snow – almost too pristine to disturb. If you fancy treating someone to a new palette, without breaking the bank, take a look at W7’s Socialite Eyeshadow Palette – an absolute bargain at £11.95. The palette contains 18 eyeshadows, ranging from daytime nudes to glitter-infused golds and shimmery pinks. Unlike some of the more highend brands, this palette even includes a brush and mirror. The eye shadows are easy to apply, and blend

well. Whether it lasts until Christmas Eve, or somehow finds its way into your own make-up bag, is up to you. See www.w7 makeup.co.uk.

Know a unicorn-loving beauty addict? The bestselling Yes To range has recently released two new products in its Yes to Grapefruit range. The Vitamin C Glow-Boosting Mud Mask contains kaolin clay to exfoliate and detox skin, aloe vera to hydrate and grapefruit extract to give skin a dose of antioxidants. Together, they help to tighten pores, reduce shine and leave skin looking brighter and healthier. Central heating can leave skin feeling dry, tight and parched, so the Vitamin C Glow-Boosting Unicorn Brightening Mist should prove a welcome relief.

Planning to vamp it up for your Christmas party? Try PÜR Cosmetics’ Velvet Matte Liquid Lipstick (£16). It goes on like a gloss, but has a matte, non-sticky finish. Agave extract and Vitamin E help to make it less drying than some other lipsticks. Try Addiction for full red-wine vamp, or Ever After for an easier to wear pink, from www. feelunique.com.

‘Grey pound’ movies: are they moving us on? In recent years the ‘grey pound’ – that’s the term coined to describe the purchasing power of senior citizens – has created new marketing opportunities for everything from holidays to household gadgets. It is even starting to affect the films we watch on TV and in the cinema, as movie studios begin to understand the earning potential of shows pitched at an older audience. Over the past decade films such as Quartet and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel have been partly responsible for breaking the mould. The tide began to turn in 2003, when a groundbreaking film based on a true story was released in the UK. Calendar Girls told the story of a group of Yorkshire women who, under the auspices of the Women’s Institutes, produced a nude calendar for Cancer Research following the death of a WI member’s husband. Focusing on middle-aged women not just as wives, mothers or aunts, but as people in their own right,

12 12

Calendar Girls was a rare film for its time. It was also the surprising hit of 2003, winning Best Comedy Film at the British Comedy Awards and eventually grossing almost £80 million pounds in box office revenue worldwide, but UK cinema audiences had to wait a further eight years before they were able to watch another British film that put older people at the heart of the story.

That film was The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, which opened to great acclaim in 2011. It told the story of seven British pensioners who decide to move to a retirement hotel in India. Soon after, in 2012, the films Quartet and A Song for Marion – co-incidentally both about singing pensioners – hit our screens and a sequel to the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel was released in 2015. So do these movies provide a more positive view of aging? Those in favour believe that placing a stronger focus on older people’s lives has helped to eliminate the lazy

Less sympathetic reviewers have accused ‘grey pound’ filmmakers of opting for “light laughs over deeper insights” while condemning them for their “condescending” and “simplistic” approach to story lines and characters. The suspicion is that film studios are simply aiming at a lucrative audience sector rather than attempting a long-overdue transformation of the way older lives are represented on screen. Actor and director Emma Thompson is one of a number of critics who dislike films aimed at a particular segment of the cinema audience. “The film industry has tried to separate us into groups, and it’s a mistake culturally, artistically and economically,” she told the BBC in 2014.

Opinions over the quality and content of ‘grey pound’ films might be divided, but at least these movies have made senior citizens more visible on our screens. No longer limited to playing benign grannies or grouchy old men, older actors now have the opportunity to portray characters who, despite – or maybe because of – their age, lead vibrant lives every bit as interesting as those of their younger counterparts.

Winter Hanging Baskets I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for hanging baskets – they are a great way to create your own miniature gardening space, do exactly what you want by the way of colours clashing or subtle, and once they’ve started to grow away and establish they’re a perfect way to make even the gloomiest back yard look more cheerful, or the prettiest patio look even more gorgeous. Making a hanging basket is not difficult, and within a few weeks of planting one up you’ll wish you had made more. Although traditionally a summer planting feature, hanging baskets work just as well for the winter months, so why not create a few seasonal splashes of colour to keep your spirits up over the coming months?

14 14

Plenty of plants make for a good colourful basket, so start with a visit to your local garden centre or nursery to see what is available.

Although traditionally a summer planting feature, baskets work just as well for the winter months There are lots of plants you might use, including winterflowering pansies (I am fond of the purple and yellow varieties) and heathers, Gaultheria with its waxy red berries, dianthus for late autumn into early winter and assorted miniature shrubs, including variegated Pieris, Choisya ternata ‘Sundance’ and variegated euonymus that will help give structure

You will also need a liner and I recommend a thicker, almost felt-like one as this helps to provide plenty of insulation for when temperatures drop, as well as keeping the compost and plants in place. In addition you’ll need a basket (you can always reuse a summer one, no need to spend more than necessary), and I suggest a 35cm (14”) diameter one as it can take more plants and, because it is larger, resists cold better. You’ll also need some compost.

There is nothing worse than trying to plant up a basket that keeps rolling about, so stand it in a large flower pot before you start. Once the liner is firmly in place, remove the chain at one anchor point or else it will get in the way as you try to plant. You can reattach it later. The liner will protrude above the edges of the basket at this stage but a little rim helps to keep the compost in place. Use good quality multi-purpose compost, firming it gently, and fill the basket about half full. Mesh baskets are great

because you can plant through the sides with ease. Cut holes in the liner then insert small plants such as pansies at regular intervals around the sides of the basket. It usually damages the plants less if you insert them from the outside inwards – that way they may suffer a little root damage but the foliage and any flowers remain undamaged. Nestle the roots into the compost and make sure that the liner is back in position after the last plant is in place.

Now add more compost to cover the roots of the winterflowering pansies or other side plantings and firm again gently. Next get the central plant in place and add three more upright plants such as miniature shrubs, equally spaced around the edges. For extra colour, add more winter bedding around the very outermost edge of the basket. Pinch out any faded flowers as you go then add more compost, carefully filling in any gaps before you water it in thoroughly.

Your hanging basket will soon fill out and become Rates Advertiser’s Guide even more colourful. Give the roots a chance to establish by standing the basket in a sheltered spot for a week or two before hanging it in position, just watering it if necessary. Regular deadheading and removal of faded flowers plus a feed with a high potash fertiliser after about a month will keep it looking great, well into the spring.

From Open Plan To Broken Plan Despite the allure of large, bright spaces, it is not necessarily convenient to live in an openplan home all the time. Hence the development of ‘broken plan’ design. Everyone loves open-plan living. Light, bright, spacious and airy, an open-plan home is always desirable. Or is it? Sometimes, let’s face it, we all need a quiet space, somewhere to feel separate in one’s own small world. Huge open spaces can be difficult to heat, too, and there can be times when noise is an issue. Enter ‘broken plan’, a practical evolution of open plan, that retains all the great elements of open plan that we love, particularly good light and a feeling of openness, but introduces subtle elements that divide large spaces into more manageable ones, with different zones that can be used for different activities.

18 18

Spaces may even (depending on the design) be opened up or closed off whenever you wish. Broken plan is flexible, dynamic and interesting, and offers sociability combined with privacy – truly the best of both worlds.

When renovation or building work is being carried out, one way to achieve the broken-plan effect is to create differences in floor levels. A step up or down from, say, the sitting room into the dining room can give a great sense of two discrete areas. It may also be possible to lower the ceiling in one area of a large, open room in order to enhance a sense of intimacy. And in homes with very high

ceilings – a barn or industrial conversion, for example – there is the opportunity to introduce a mezzanine level, perhaps as an office, snug or guest bedroom, which combines the feeling of open plan with the practicality of a separate space. Other structural solutions include building internal glass walls or floor-to-ceiling steelframed windows (the bestknown trade name is Crittall) in order to subdivide a space. Stylish and luxurious, these suit both modern and traditional homes.

More typically, especially in a period home where two ground-floor reception rooms have been knocked through to bring in more space and light, a great way to add flexibility to what is often a long, thin, hard-to-use room is to add glazed or timber double doors. If made from timber they could be panelled to match the architectural features of the house; ideally the doors would slide and fold away, or else be hinged so that they fit seamlessly back against the walls when open. An alternative way of connecting/separating two rooms is to build pocket doors, which slide into the slim walls on each side – great for, say, a dressing room off a bedroom. Often, of course, it is far more convenient (and less expensive) to employ temporary ways of dividing a large room: a screen, for example, a large floor-

standing bookcase, or even simply a slender console table – which could be the base for a pair of lamps, some vases of flowers or a sculpture. These have the advantage of being relatively easily moved around or removed if you feel like a change. An open-plan space can be divided visually, using simple tricks such as changes in paint colour or floor finish – from carpet in a seating area to floorboards in a dining space, for example – and it is easily possible to create mini ‘rooms’ by grounding furniture arrangements on a rug or on an area of contrast

flooring. Finally, employ lighting as a powerful tool to delineate space. Think of forming ‘zones’ by using different types of lighting in the different areas, including pendants (perhaps over a dining table or kitchen counter), wall lights, and careful positioning of floor and table lamps. If possible, install different circuits (controlled by switches or dimmers) that will allow you to break down the spaces and illuminate different parts to suit your needs, whether it be a living area or bedroom, a kitchen or a dining area.

Advertiser’s Guide

• When you are seeking an inexpensive update, simply remove any dull, old, lessthan-stylish table lamps and plug in your new, on-trend, up-to-the-minute choices and voila! an instant change of look. • Use a table lamp to create a welcoming reading corner in a living room, or simply to introduce a cosy pool of light in a dark area. They look great on a hall console or a small table on a landing, and are, of course, both practical and beautiful either side of a bed. • Lanterns are even easier than lamps, as they don’t need a nearby plug. If you are wary of using candles for safety reasons, substitute battery-operated LED candles instead. • Buying more than one lamp for a room? Identical pairs look smart and traditional, but you don’t have to buy them all the same. A range of styles can create interest and work in different areas. It is, however, worth choosing styles that have colour, pattern, material or shape in common, in order to give the room a sense of overall cohesion.

Black Friday is the annual sales event that crossed the Atlantic to become huge in the UK too. But does that mean you’ll get a good deal? Black Friday is actually two big days of deals: Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Black Friday is the start of the Christmas shopping season in the US, because it’s when retailers traditionally ran ‘door-buster’ sales on the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. The following Monday has been dubbed Cyber Monday because apparently everybody goes back to work, panics about Christmas presents and hits the online shops on the same day. Black Friday gets bigger every year. A long weekend became a week of deals, until now Black Friday runs for two weeks or more, with all kinds of deals announced well in advance as well as flash ‘lightning deals’ on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. It’s become the most important part of the retail calendar not just for technology but for many retailers selling fashion, homeware and jewellery too. It’s a good time to buy smart home technology, which attracts massive discounts at this time of year. Can you really get good deals? The answer is a qualified yes. There are plenty of deals to be had, but some of them are illusory: common tactics include listing RRPs that no sensible person would pay – you’ll see this a lot with TVs, which promise massive discounts on recommended retail prices nobody paid – or gently increasing prices in the run-up to Black Friday so they can be lowered in time for the big event and labelled with a big ‘Sale!’ sticker. And like any sale, often the deals are on products that are being phased YAP UOY ECIRP EHT SI EES UOY ECIRP EHT OS ,DERETSIGER TAVA TON ERA EW .secirp egakcap rof su tcatnoC artxe 00.01£ :7 & 5 segaP muimerP .000,8 rep 792£ ta enizagam htiw dereviled eb nac stresni esooL

out to make room for new products or because they’re no longer being made. End-of-line products aren’t necessarily bad buys, but research anything before you decide whether or not to spend. Before you hit the ‘Buy Now’ button on a bargain, search for it in Pricespy.co.uk. That shows you what other retailers are selling the product for, and tells you whether you’re really getting a good deal. It works on everything from DVDs to dishwashers and it also tells you whether products are in stock: a deal isn’t much use if you can’t actually order the product. If you’re looking at a deal on Amazon, have a look at uk.camelCamelCamel.com. Simply copy and paste the address of the Amazon product listing or the exact product name and it’ll show you the price history – so for example if we search for the cult favourite Instant Pot pressure cooker we can see that while its price varies from £70 to £130, it’s usually sold for around £90. One of the simplest tricks to Black Friday and Cyber Monday is to make sure you only buy things you actually need. This time last year we bought some fancy headphones on Black Friday; this week we’re selling them on eBay, still in the original sealed packaging. A bargain isn’t a bargain if you don’t use it.

Images: top left clockwise - CamelCamelCamel lets you see any Amazon product’s price history. Amazon offers big Black Friday discounts on products such as its Echo speaker. Hue lights are another safe bet for Black Friday discounts. Instant Pot electric pressure cooker, a consistent Black Friday top seller.

New, uber-soft PJs are a must for Christmas, but ones Rates Advertiser’s Guide bedecked with snowmen and snowflakes can feel out of place by New Year. We like these organic, Fairtrade pyjamas by OceanBluu. They’re kind to skin, kind to the people who make them, and kind to the planet. The brand is plastic-free and donates a pair of PJs and underwear to a child in need for every purchase. They’re £25 from www.oceanbluu. com.

Gifted Inspiration for 0 to 8s Are you planning to welcome a mischievous elf to your home this year? How about this crocheted version from Best Years? It’s handmade, Fairtrade and rather cuter than the plastic mass-produced versions. It’s £18.99 from www.bestyears. co.uk.

Ewan the Dream Sheep (£39.99) is sure to prove popular with newborns and new parents alike. This award-winning modern classic has been helping babies (and parents) to get some shuteye for 10 years now. It mimics the environment a baby has grown comfortable with in the womb, by glowing softly and playing soothing sounds. Rather than jangling nursery rhymes (which parents will grow

to hate rather quickly), Ewan’s main sound is a recording of a heartbeat, which is then combined with other gentle sounds, such as white noise or rainfall. The deluxe version even turns on automatically when a baby cries. Anything that babies and toddlers come into contact with is likely to get grubby rather quickly, particularly when they’re as soft and cuddly as Ewan. Luckily, you can take the electronic pod out to give him a good wash. Looking for a new Christmas duvet for your child? We love the Christmas Jumper Bedding Set from George at Home. And the cuddly Yeti Stocking from Sainsbury’s (£4) is sure to be loved long past Boxing Day.

To advertise call Karen: 020 8274 0096

Ice cream and lollies may not be the most appealing of treats to adults in winter, but kids love them all year around. And GLTC’s wooden Lolly and Scoop Ice Cream Shop (£65, www.gltc.co.uk) will last a lot longer than the edible variety. There are ice lollies, cones, wafers, tubs and ice cream balls ready to scoop up and serve. Perfect for imaginative play. The White Stuff Christmas Veg Box Set is a bargain at £9.95. Why not split the decorations up to use as stocking fillers? See www. whitestuff.com.

Speaking of stocking fillers, the chunky woodland creature range from National Trust is perfect for toddlers. Each one is priced at £2.75, www. nationaltrust.org.uk.

Planning to really push the boat out this Christmas? The Flexa Play Work Bench (£161) is made from birch wood and comes with a vice. Add the Toolset (£21) and ToolBox (£30) to keep your child entertained for hours. See www.nubie.co.uk.

1) Make your pets’ environment more comfortable: Closing the 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. Provide a homemade den and spray the den with calming sprays which can enhance the feeling of wellbeing. These sprays can mimic natural calming pheromones given off by a dog and cat or contain valerian plant extracts that are known for its calming abilities. Valerian based calming sprays can be used for cats dogs and smaller animals like Guinea pigs and rabbits. 61

2) Body language: Our pets are sensitive to our body language so be mindful of your behaviour. If you are stressed or acting differently this will make you pet think that there is something to worry about. Although it may seem heartless, 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 could reinforce them and make them worse. Just remain calm talk normally to your pet or distract them from the noise. If they act normal and calm then praise this behaviour subtly. 3) Anti-anxiety drugs or Natural herbal remedies: (available from veterinary pharmacies) may be beneficial. Natural

28 28

remedies can be started a week or so before the planned event and given during the event. Stronger sedative anti-anxiety drugs will require a health check by your vet (before they can be dispensed) but are very effective in dogs that have severe phobias. 4) Avoid letting your pet go outside during main events: ensure the cat flap is locked and there is a litter tray in the home and try not to take dogs for walks during main events (walk earlier in the day or change up for the morning). Cats especially may get spooked and run off/ get lost, so try to ensure your cat is microchipped or has a collar so they can be reunited quickly. 5) Don’t forget outdoor pets! If you have pets that live outside such as rabbits or Guinea pigs, be aware that they don’t always show outward signs of stress. They may show more subtle signs such as teeth grinding, hiding or they may stop eating. Please do what you can to minimise their stress too! Valerian calming sprays on their bedding (available from your vets) providing them with more bedding to hide and covering the hutch at night will all help! If you would like free professional advice as to which treatment is best for your pet, please contact us at the Aspen Veterinary Surgery on 0208 399 6437 or visit our website www. aspenvets.co.uk

Georgie

Price List - Our Prices Haven’t Increased for 2 Years

Georgie is a pretty, gentle, grey & white long-haired female aged 10. She needs to be an indoor-only cat, in a quiet home, no other pets and with someone around for a good part of the day; ideally someone who is an experienced cat owner to help her gain in confidence and feel secure. She loves to be stroked and brushed – which is great because she needs to be brushed every day. She also enjoys playing with a fishing-rod type toy, with catnip toys and using a scratch post. She is in care because her owner was no longer able to take care of her. She has been checked by the vet and is now ready for homing If you feel you can give Georgie her well deserved forever home please call 0345 260 1387 Epsom Ewell & District Branch http://www.epsom.cats.org.uk If you cannot adopt a cat but would still like to help us please go to https://www.justgiving.com/Epsom-CatsProtection

Keeping Your Pets Calm on Bonfire Night

The noise and flashes of light on Bonfire Night are startling for any animal, and it’s understandable if your pet feels anxious and stressed. So is there anything you can do to help them stay calm, both beforehand and on Bonfire Night itself? On Bonfire Night • Close windows and curtains before it gets dark. • Switch on the television or radio to mask the sounds. • Speak to your vet about pheromone diffusers or calming medication.

• Provide a ‘safe’ place in the house – maybe a den under a table, for instance, with their favourite comfort blanket, some toys, or an item of your clothing to cuddle. • Bring outdoor hutches into the house, shed, or garage, and add some extra straw or hay for soundproofing and an extra feeling of security. Before Bonfire Night Noises CDs Noises CDs are sometimes used as therapy for pets that become upset or anxious by loud noises. If you play them fairly softly during the weeks before Bonfire Night, they may become more used to the sounds of fireworks and be able to stay calmer. Collars and name tags Hopefully your pet won’t need to go outside during the evening but if they do, you need to make sure they’re wearing their collar and name tag. If you have a dog you’ll be able to take them out on a lead, but cats may become startled once they’re outside and run away to hide. pets.webmd.com/features/pet-pheromone-productsfor-behavior-problems#1 www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-advice/fireworks-and-pets www.pdsa.org.uk/taking-care-of-your-pet/lookingafter-your-pet/all-pets/pets-and-fireworks

Britain’s Best Roads – A Top 10 ngiseD & tamroF

:sU tcatnoC

ssegruB neraK daoR enwodsgni K 81 ZJ6 6TK ,yerruS ,notibruS 6900 4728 020 :leT 18530029070 :xaF moc.noinapmocsdnalyrreb@nerak :liamE moc.noinapmocsdnalyrreb.www :beW

The B3135 from Cheddar to Ashwick in Somerset is considered, from research conducted by Volkswagen, to be number one on a list of top drives in Britain. It’s a pretty-safe bet you won’t find the M6 or M25 on this list, because to make it on there, it’s the journey that counted, not the arrival. (Although, perhaps in the case of the aforementioned two roads, increasingly the arrival on Britain’s motorway network is in some far-far distant hour.) To compile this list, key criteria such as scenery (that’s the M2 out then), points of interest, good driving conditions, levels of traffic and low accident rates were considered. 61

Nearly 100 roads, based on these indicators, made the grade and after the B3135, the top ten continues like this: 2. The A940/A939/A944/A97, Forres to Alford in Scotland 3. A701, Moffat towards Edinburgh in Dumfries and Galloway and the Scottish Borders 4. A4069, Black Mountain Road, Brecon Beacons, Powys, Wales 5. A82, Glencoe, Scottish Highlands 6. A308/B3021/B3026, Old Windsor – Dorney, Buckinghamshire 7. B4089, Pelham Lane – Wood Lane – Alcester to Wilmcote, Warwickshire 8. A426/A423/A425/B445/A4225, Draycote Water to Warwick, Warwickshire 9. Hardnott Pass, Lake District, Cumbria 10. A675, Bolton to Blackburn, Lancashire So, if you find yourself near any of the locations of these roads, and note, three are in Scotland and two in the Midlands, why not take some time out to enjoy some great driving on one of Britain’s best routes? It will, and I think I’m on the right track in saying so, most definitely be better than your daily commute. By Iain Betson

Ready in: 20 minutes | Serves 4

Ingredients

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 tsp grated root ginger

2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed 1 onion, peeled and thinly sliced

350g chicken breast fillet, cut into thin strips 2 large carrots, peeled and coarsely grated 225g broccoli florets, blanched (see Tip) 2 tbsp light soy sauce 1 tbsp runny honey

300g pack fresh noodles 1 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp sesame seeds

¼ of a red cabbage, finely shredded and blanched (see Tip)

TIP

Lime wedges, to serve

36 36

Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or nonstick frying pan over a high until until almost smoking. Add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds then add the onion and chicken and stir-fry for a further 2-3 minutes until the onion is tender and the chicken is almost cooked through.

Add the grated carrot and broccoli and stir-fry for another minute then stir in the soy sauce, honey and noodles with 1-2 tbsp hot water. Stir fry for a further 1-2 minutes until the noodles are piping hot. Stir in the sesame oil and half the sesame seeds.

Divide the stir-fry between four warmed serving dishes and top with the rest of the sesame seeds and the shredded red cabbage. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Blanching the broccoli and red cabbage will just soften them slightly. Plunge into a pan of boiling water for 1 minute then drain and refresh under cold water.

Ready in 1 hour 30 minutes, plus cooling | Serves 8

Ingredients

2 tbsp poppy seeds 2 tbsp hot milk

175g unsalted butter, softened 175g caster sugar

3 medium eggs, beaten 175g self raising flour 2 tbsp cocoa powder 75g ground almonds Icing sugar, to dust

TIP

Sliced plums, to serve (optional)

38 38

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas mark 4. Grease a 23cm round shallow cake tin and line the base with baking paper. Mix the poppy seeds and hot milk in a small heatproof bowl and set aside.

Place the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand-held electric whisk until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs then sift over the flour and cocoa powder and fold in with a metal spoon. Fold in the poppy seed and milk mixture and the ground almonds. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cake tin and level the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until risen, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Dust the top of the cake with icing sugar. serve sliced with fresh plum slices, if liked.

This cake makes a delicious hot pudding too. Just cool for 5-10 minutes then cut into slices and drizzle with warmed chocolate or salted caramel sauce and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Surbiton Racket and Fitness the ideal Club for the winter!

lready the dark evenings are with us, and the full range of the Club’s facilities comes into its own.

For tennis, we have nine hard courts. Three of them are laid in synthetic clay and six are tarmac which is good news for our many all-year tennis enthusiasts. Also, because of the popularity of evening tennis at Surbiton we have five floodlit tennis courts available for booking. Also, as an extra facility for Members, two more of our hard courts are fully enclosed in the Dome, so that tennis can be guaranteed right through the winter, whatever the weather.

Indoors, there’s always plenty going on at the Club. Our spacious Gym is very popular. It’s on two floors and offers some of the latest Life Fitness cardio machines to resistance machines and free weights. Alongside is our Studio, where we organise regular classes for Zumba, Pilates, Yoga and Indoor Cycling. And

Panto: the UK’s quirkiest tradition? Oh, yes it is!

Christmas may seem a long way off, but such is the popularity of pantomime, the best seats could have already disappeared in a puff of fairy dust. Pantomime is a British tradition that’s guaranteed to mystify anyone who is unfamiliar with our culture. The name itself creates confusion: when US-based Baywatch actor Pamela Anderson received her first offer to appear in pantomime in Liverpool in 2010, she was convinced she would be “miming in a box” (bizarrely, she agreed to do it anyway). Like most traditions, pantomime has grown from customs and practices that have been transformed over time by changing tastes and fashions.

46 46

There’s nothing like a Dame One of pantomime’s bestloved characters is the ‘Dame’. Nearly always played by a man, the Dame is generally portrayed as a vain, foolish woman, determined to get a husband at any price. But, with the possible exception of the villainous Ugly Sisters in Cinderella, the Dame never fails to gain the audience’s affection. It seems that we Brits simply love the idea of a man acting out a female role. Maybe that’s because the practice of men appearing as women on stage is deeply embedded in British culture. Until the law was changed in the early 1660s, it was illegal for women to act in theatres, so audiences were used to seeing men performing in female attire.

Hand coloured photograph of Widow Twankey in 1896 Copying Commedia Commedia dell’arte was a broad type of comic performance popular in Italy between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, which is said to be the forerunner of our traditional pantomime. Based on ‘stock’ characters, the plots generally featured a pair of lovers, a mischievous servant, a clown or pierrot character and a moneygrabbing old man.

While pantomime’s young lovers have changed little from Commedia dell’arte days, some of the other characters have been reworked to fit different plots. The clown is still with us in the shape of

daft but lovable Simple Simon or Wishee Washee, while Cinderella’s footman Buttons is a pale reflection of the Commedia’s highspirited servants. Finally, the stock character of the old man appears variously as the foolish Baron Hardup (Cinderella), the villainous Fleshcreep (Jack and the Beanstalk) and the powerhungry Abanazar (Aladdin).

Harlequinade to pantomime In the seventeenth century, British theatre borrowed some of Commedia’s characters to create an early type of pantomime known as a ‘Harlequinade’. But pantomime as we know it today was created when audiences began to demand more and more spectacle. Canny theatre producers discarded the less popular parts of the Harlequinade but kept the transformation scene, where Harlequin waved his magic baton (nowadays a fairy wand) to show fairytale characters and scenes dramatically changing before the audience’s eyes. By the Victorian era the Harlequinade had become the two-act pantomime we would recognise today.

So pantomime goes on, changing year on year to suit current tastes, but in many respects remaining true to its earliest origins. It’s the one theatre entertainment that can successfully play to an audience aged between two and ninety-two, but will it continue to do so for centuries to come? Oh, yes it will!

ive years ago I was a guest on TV for Question Time. In Beijing. To an estimated viewing audience of 25 million Chinese. Question Time was rather different there – I was the only panellist. And they told me the questions in advance. And all they wanted to ask about was air pollution – as it’s damaging the health of millions of Chinese. The Question Time actually began with black and white TV footage of London in the 1950s – with thick smog, and pedestrians clutching their throats and falling over, unable to breathe. And the first question was – “You in Britain have solved air pollution. What advice do you have for us in China?” Of course I said Britain would be delighted to share our experience – from the Clean Air Acts stopping domestic burning of coal and wood, to how coal-fired power plants were moved out of our cities. But I added two things. First, we must also worry about global air pollution not just local air pollution – in other words, we needed urgent action on climate change too. And second, in Britain we hadn’t solved air pollution – we’d only done half the job: visible, smog-style air pollution was virtually eliminated. But invisible air pollutants, especially tiny particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide, were on the rise and damaging the health of British people. Air pollution in Britain

According to Public Health England invisible air pollution is the largest environmental risk to public health. Long-term exposure to air pollution causes chronic conditions like cardiovascular and respiratory diseases as well as lung cancer. And new scientific evidence is emerging suggesting it is affecting people’s brains and may be one cause of dementia. Public Health England suggest between 28,000 and 36,000 premature deaths a year can be attributed to air pollution, while the Environment Audit Committee estimates the cost of air pollution’s health impacts may exceed £20 billion – once the full cost of conditions like asthma are accounted for. So while we should give advice to any country wanting to improve their people’s health, Britain also has to beat air pollution here, as a top health and environmental priority. How? First, we must understand air pollution has many causes, and we must pass laws to force Governments to tackle the problem. Air pollutants come from a range of both man-made

and natural sources. Many everyday activities like transport, energy generation and industrial processes are to blame – as well as farming and domestic heating. That means we have to look at many solutions. I’m proud for instance that my work in Government as Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change saw Britain’s renewable power nearly quadruple and costs of technologies like offshore wind tumble, so Britain’s coal power stations are fast disappearing. Meanwhile, organisations like the World Health Organisation and the European Union have rightly taken a leading role in evidence-based recommendations for pollution levels and European regulations for reducing air pollution. It’s just shameful that the British Government has failed so miserably to act, that it lost several court cases led by British Environmental lawyers, Client Earth, and shocking when a certain Boris Johnson, as Mayor for London, rather than acting to reduce air pollution, instead chose to lobby in Brussels to lift these pollution regulations, despite knowing their importance for public health.

Air pollution in Kingston – a Citizens’ Assembly

So we can’t just look to the national, European and international levels for solutions – we need to look to local communities and individuals to act too. That’s why I’m delighted that Kingston Council is acting – and wants to start by involving local people. RBK are holding Kingston’s first ever citizens' assembly – and it’s on air pollution. About 7000 residents will be randomly invited to take part. Of those who express an interest, a maximum of 40 will be selected to represent Kingston’s demographic make-up. The assembly will meet at Kingston University on 9th, 10th and 30th November and 1st December, as an independent process run by the Involve Foundation, open to anyone to observe. These assembly members will get to listen to evidence, consider and discuss what they hear - and reach conclusions about what steps we should and can take together to improve air quality. Assembly members will get to meet people from all walks of life from across the borough and hear from experts – and their recommendations will be presented to a council meeting on 17 December.

If you want to find out more – and how you can contribute to the debate, even if you’re not on the Citizen’s Assembly, check out this link - https://bit. ly/2oibkOl - or go to RBK’s website direct. Let’s stop Kingston’s invisible killer.
