Editors’Letter Welcome to the July/August issue of Chiltern View magazine.

We do hope you all enjoyed the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. We felt a real sense of community as people of all ages and from all parts of the country, joined together.

Whether it was a huge street party, watching all the events on TV, actually being in London, or simply a small afternoon tea, there seemed to be a lift of mood. It was great to see people enjoying the festivities and the long, bank holiday weekend.

This is our Summer Issue, and we hope that as you read this, the weather has settled into some nice long, warm sunny days.

Time to get the garden furniture out and the barbeques ready for some outdoor

dining. If you feel your garden may be a little neglected, we have many advertisers who can help. And if perhaps you feel you might deserve a bit of pampering, we have many beauty offers that would be just perfect to treat yourself.

We loved this front cover, especially with the sun going down and the beautiful sunflowers below the balloons. The Oxford Balloon Festival at Cutteslowe and Sunnymead Park on the 19th and 20th of August is a wonderful event, with a great number of balloons taking off and lots of other things to do as well. Definitely worth checking out.

Don’t forget our usual theatre competitions, our delicious baking page and also a great choice of books to sit and read and enjoy the summer days.

Until next time,

Coralie Meet the Team

BOOKS

Fiction Factory This month, four forays into fantastic fiction to ease you through the summer sun.

The Final Gambit by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (Aug 30th) To inherit billions, all Avery Kylie Grambs has to do is survive a few more weeks living in Hawthorne House.

The paparazzi are dogging her every step. Financial pressures are building. Danger is a fact of life. Yet as the clock ticks down to the moment when Avery will become the richest teenager on the planet, trouble arrives in the form of a visitor who needs her help.

Stay Awake by Megan Goldin (Aug 9th) Liv Reese wakes up in the back of a taxi with no idea where she is or how she got there. When she’s dropped off at her door, a stranger answers―a stranger who now lives in her apartment and forces her out in the cold.

She reaches for her phone to call for help, only to discover it’s missing, and in its place is a

16

bloodstained knife.

That’s when she sees that her hands are covered in black pen, scribbled messages like graffiti on her skin: STAY AWAKE. In the vein of SJ Watson’s Before I Go to Sleep and Christopher Nolan’s cult classic Memento, Megan Goldin’s Stay Awake is an electrifying novel that plays with memory and murder.

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood (Aug 23rd) From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis with explosive results.

Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.

Yet Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays,

seconding her ideas… and the possibilities have all her neurons firing.

The Hookup Plan by Farrah Rochon (Aug 2nd) Strong female friendships and a snappy enemies-tolovers theme take centre stage in this highly anticipated romantic comedy from the USA Today bestselling author of The Dating Playbook.

Successful paediatric surgeon London Kelley just needs to find some balance and de-stress. According to her friends Samiah and Taylor, what London really needs is a casual hookup.

A night of fun with no strings.

But no one, least of all London, expected it to go down at her high school reunion with millionaire Drew Sullivan…

How to reduce heat loss from your home - ‘the fabric first approach’.

We all know that we are being asked to do ‘our bit’ in being more eco-friendly.

How can we achieve this in our homes? A family asked EcoTiffin to do just that and after enlisting their help, they commented, “EcoTiffin saved us 37% in energy bills whilst increasing our square footage by 35%, giving us a warm and welcoming home.”

Moisture in brickwork is the worst possible ingredient to have in your property and every effort should be made to prevent the ingress of moisture. Moisture in the brickwork reduces the bricks thermal capacity to retain heat and it has a chilling effect like a fridge on your home. Solid brick walls are by far the worst. Remember; wet walls are cold walls!

‘The fabric first approach’ is essential when improving insulation to roofs, walls, floors and windows which are just some of the ways of reducing heat-loss. The use of thermography

(thermal imagining) is an exciting and relatively new application in the building world. If you want to identify areas of excessive heat loss in your home on the way to creating an eco-friendly building, using thermographic equipment is a good place to start.

Robert Tiffin (descendant of the original family) and highly respected building expert and Quantity Surveyor, has seen a rise in the number of families wanting to make their homes work more efficiently by reducing heat loss. Evidence from thermograms help to provide much of the data to substantiate Robert’s bespoke reports for each property in “seeing the unseen”. To the trained eye, the results can reveal important information enabling a clear diagnosis. Home owners look forward to maximising their comfort to a warm, cosy and cost effective, healthier environment for themselves and their families.

Are you protecting your home?

• Climate change - how is my home coping?

• Heat loss - how can we reduce it, wet walls are cold walls!

Older properties were not built in an energy efficient way but there are plenty of things you can do to improve your comfort and have a healthier living environment.

Eco Tiffin is a well established family run business that undertakes extensive property restorations, refurbishments and modernisations, combining a passion for energy saving and conservation.

Six Reasons Not To Feed Red Kites Red kites are an iconic bird of prey of the Chilterns.

If you live in this area, you’ll be familiar with the sight of these magnificent birds circling in the skies. Red kites were hailed as a conservation success when they were reintroduced to the Chilterns in the 1990s. Prior to this in the 1980s they were one of just three globally threatened species in the UK, largely due to persecution. © Alan Shearman

than they naturally would be. Red kites have sharp claws and a six foot wingspan. If the birds become a nuisance this could change public support for the welfare of these birds – leading us back to persecution of the birds.

2. Feeding encourages concentrated numbers of kites in one area which discourages songbirds and ground nesting birds from feeding and successfully bringing up their young.

3. The scraps of uncooked and cooked meat that people feed red kites don’t present a balanced, healthy diet.

Some people like to feed red kites in their gardens to see large numbers swooping to the ground. While this is an impressive spectacle, the Chilterns Conservation Board discourages feeding.

The Board has had frequent complaints about red kites getting too close for comfort, stealing sandwiches from people’s picnics and dropping scraps of meat.

Here’s why we shouldn’t feed red kites: 1. Feeding encourages red kites to become far bolder

24

4. Red kites dropping scraps of meat onto neighbouring gardens is a health risk and attracts rats and vermin.

© Steve Gozdz

5. Feeding discourages red kites from expanding their range and looking for new breeding territories and sources of food. This disrupts

© Ray Morris

their natural population spread.

6. Red kites can feed and thrive successfully in their natural habitat without our assistance and their natural diet is much better for them.

Red kites were persecuted almost to the point of extinction from Victorian times onwards. People mistakenly thought that they killed lambs – the reality is that they mostly feed on carrion (dead animals), weigh less than a bag of sugar and they are too weak footed to catch anything other than a small rabbit.

People were encouraged to feed the kites during their reintroduction in the 1990s, but feeding is no longer necessary now that the birds are thriving.

So please avoid feeding the red kites – it’s far better to enjoy them soaring high above our gardens or in their natural environment on a walk in the Chilterns hills.

RECIPE

Raymond Blanc’s Lemon Cake Introduction Lemon cake with tea is a grand tradition at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, and it has been served here for almost 40 years. What I love about the perfect lemon cake is it’s fresh, zesty and as light as a cloud.

Ingredients (serves eight) • For the lemon cake • butter, to grease the tin • 5 eggs • 300g caster sugar • 140ml double cream • finely grated zest of 3 lemons • 25ml dark rum • 1 pinch sea salt • 80g unsalted butter, melted • 240g plain flour • ½ tsp baking powder For the glaze • 50g apricot jam, warmed • finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 3 tbsp juice • 150g icing sugar

28

Method 1. Lightly grease the loaf tin and line with greaseproof paper. Then, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, cream, lemon zest, rum, salt and melted butter.

2. Sift the flour and baking powder together, then whisk into the egg mixture until smooth, spooning the mixture into the loaf tin and gently level the surface. Bake for 50 minutes, turning the tin around halfway through cooking. To test the cake, insert a small knife into the middle – if it comes out clean, the cake is cooked.

3. Turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool for 10 minutes.

4. Lightly brush the cake all over with the warm jam. The jam creates a barrier, so the lemon glaze is not absorbed. Leave for 5 minutes.

5. Now mix the lemon zest and juice with the icing sugar in a small pan and warm over a low heat to 35°C, until smooth. If the glaze is any hotter, it will recrystallise, losing its shine and crispness.

Brush the lemon glaze evenly over the top and sides of the cake and leave for a few minutes to set.

6. Finally, place the cake on a baking tray in the oven, turn off the heat and leave for 3–5 minutes to dry the glaze – it will become translucent. Allow to cool before slicing.

We develop with stories and rhymes, however!

Evolutionary psychologists put it down to the fact that humans passed knowledge through the generations by telling stories.

Most fables are a great tool to help us remember things, but strangely, some actually cause us harm if not true!

Science has exposed much of these tales of wisdom that percolate as fact, however our belief in them, continues.

In the last ten years there have been some considerable breakthroughs in the world of pain science. In example; we are starting to understand that

34

a major influencer of chronic pain is our relationship with it.

‘Wear and Tear’ If you have ever been told you have ‘wear and tear’, what image does it create in your mind? It does sound permanent. But this is not how the body works.

Yes, we wear as we age, but we also repair. Our bodies are ‘bioplastic’, which means that they adapt to the stimulus they are given. We are able to repair, with appropriate movement. David’s Osteopathic treatment helps joints to increase mobility and function.

Degeneration Misalignment appears to be particularly important in facilitating Osteoarthritic change rather than overuse.

Just because you have pain now, it doesn’t mean you always will or that it will get worse. Take the right actions and you can change.

‘Wear and Repair’ The way you repair is by getting the right hands-on treatment to accelerate the reduction in pain. Then nourishing your tissues with appropriate movement to stay loose, strong and coordinated.

Best wishes, David

Happy Anniversary to The Soft Water Shop celebrating 40 years!

This Year the owner of The Soft Water Shop, Rodney Stone, is celebrating 40 years of bringing soft water to the homes of Princes Risborough and the surrounding areas.

Rod has a background of industrial water treatment and being at a loss of what to do when he made redundant, saw the opportunity of bringing soft and filtered water to the domestic market when noticing a shop for sale in Station Road, Princes Risborough. Having made the purchase in the summer of 1982 of the building The Soft Water Shop was born. Rod knew that it would be challenging work to build a business when most people did not know the benefits of having a water softener, let alone knowing what a water softener was. With hard work and a determination of bring soft water to the residents of Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, Rod has over the last 40 years made owning a water softener a necessary luxury.

In the beginning Rod built and sold single cylinder water softeners requiring electric, which he named the Commander range. This range has changed and improved over the years and is still a firm favourite with customers as an entry level softener.

Keeping up with an ever-constant moving industry Rod, 20 years ago, made the decision to sell nonelectric water softeners which were becoming popular at that time. Having looked at the softeners available Rod accepted the offer to become an authorised dealer for Kinetico, from that time The Soft Water Shop has gone from strength to strength. Even with the uncertain and tough times of Covid, The Soft Water Shop has

grown year on year becoming industry award winners this year which is a fantastic start to The Soft Water Shop 40 Year Celebrations.

In celebration of winning the awards The Soft Water Shop is offering the most popular water softener in their range, the Kinetico Premier Compact with £200.00 off R.R.P. plus a FREE INSTALLTION KIT (15 mm or 22 mm only)

£200 OFF

This year as part of the Princes Risborough Festival, Rod and his team will be hosting a puzzle swap asking for donations for swaps and purchases of puzzles with

the hope of raising more money for the Oxford Hospital Charity.

Teas, Coffee, Soft Drinks with homemade cakes will also be available for a small donation.

Rod and his team are happy to help their customers find the right type of water softener or water filtration system is best for them. For a FREE site visit with NO OBLIGATION call The Soft Water Shop on 01844 346 566 or make a request through the website at www.softwatershop.co.uk

Hold back time with 3D Dermaforce Now available in Thame!

A powerful new force in non-surgical skin rejuvenation. The 3D Dermaforce is an advanced cutting-edge device combining Microneedling & Radio Frequency (RF) technology to effectively treat a large number of facial and body concerns, with amazing results.

Microneedling / RF is the latest up-and-coming solution for the ultimate ‘non-surgical face lift’ and is in extremely high demand after the extensive press coverage that the treatment has received throughout the press, with celebrities including Judy Murray, Christine McGuiness and Sally Deynevor MBE, raving about the treatment.

What is 3D Dermaforce?

3D Dermaforce Microneedling/RF is an advanced method of skin rejuvenation that stimulates the body’s natural healing process. This encourages collagen production in the dermis resulting in rejuvenated and tightened skin.

What areas can be treated?

3D Dermaforce has been approved for use on the face and body. It has a positive effect on loose skin, fine lines and wrinkles, sun-damaged/pigmented skin, stretch marks and pitted skin (often a result of acne scarring) What results can I expect?

Your skin will look plump due to 52

the increase in thickness of the dermal tissue caused by collagen production. On the face this will give an improvement to lines, wrinkles and loose or crepey skin.

Pigmentation patches will improve and even the tone of the skin. On the body stretch marks and loose skin can be improved during a course of treatments.

How does the treatment feel?

During treatment, the radiofrequency energy is delivered through the gold plated, insulated needles allowing precise delivery to the dermis. You’ll feel a slight warmth and pressure in the skin during application. Your skin will be lightly pink after treatment and may feel similar to when you have been in the sun, this typically lasts only a few hours.

Who is a good candidate for treatment?

3D Dermaforce treatment is suitable for women and men over the age of 18. A full consultation and skin analysis will be given prior to treatment. www.chilternviewmagazines.co.uk

Is there any downtime after the treatment?

You will possibly experience pinkness in the skin and a slight swelling after treatment, your skin may also feel slightly dry. These are common side effects and resolve quickly.

Before Treatment

After Treatment

What are the most popular treatment areas?

Popular treatment areas include; Face and Brow, Crow’s Feet, Nasolabial folds, Neck and Decollete, Marionette Lines, Jowls and Jawline, Abdomen, Above the Knees, Necklace Lines.

Dermaforce Introductory Offer Book a Dermaforce treatment for only £395, saving £100 when you book by 20th June 2022. Treatment cost will be £495 after this date. A full consultation is required before treatment can take place which includes a complimentary 3D Visage Skin Scan.

To find out more about Dermaforce, book your free consultation and receive your complimentary 3D Visage Skin Scan by calling 01844 698441.

Thame Shed Thame Shed is now offering a larger version of the garden shed – a place to feel at home and pursue practical interests where members share tools, resources and expertise to work on projects at their own pace in a safe, friendly and inclusive environment.

Thame Shed is a place for skill-sharing and informal learning, for individual pursuits and community projects, for purposeful activity, achievement and social interaction.

The Shed’s activities usually involve making or mending in wood but may include metalworking. Reclamation, re-use, repair, up-cycling and restoration feature strongly.

54

Whichever activities are pursued the essence of the Shed is not the building, but the network of supportive relationships.

Thame Shed is available for anyone of any sex or orientation, who enjoys creating, making, mending or has a practical skill they are willing to share. It is also a place for those who have never had the opportunity to develop practical skills or haven’t the space to do the practical things they want to do, or at the moment spend their time alone using their skills. It could also provide an opportunity for those who simply want to watch others work, sharing conversation, perhaps supporting the emotional well-being of its retired,

unemployed or furloughed populace.

Based at Chinnor Rugby Club, Kingsey Road, Thame, OX9 3JL and operating on weekday mornings for a pound a session, please email Mike Ashford on thameshed@gmail.com if you might be interested in joining us.

Finding your new normal After two years of lockdown, we are now re-emerging.

We want to get back to normal, and are trying to find our way.

Lockdown is over, and we are going out more, but we find ourselves questioning: who do I want to see; should I wear a mask; dare I greet people with a hug? This hesitancy is natural as we take steps to return to normal.

We might wonder: “What is normal?” Perhaps life has

changed: we have suffered a bereavement, we have lost or changed our job, relationships have moved on.

We are looking for something new, a new normal. We can help ourselves by getting involved in new activities, making new friendships. And we are not alone – others are going through similar difficulties, and are keen to reach out for support and companionship.

But what if this process of renewal gets stuck: the change is too hard, the stress

too high, the grief too painful and difficult to work through, self-confidence too low?

You too are not alone. If you reach out for professional help, counsellors can offer the opportunity to explore and work through all these thoughts and feelings, and help you to find a new way of being, a new normal for you.

GARDENING

Garden inspiration from Chelsea With Chelsea Flower Show making a comeback last month, gardeners were spoilt for choice from the array of beautifully themed outdoor spaces, which no doubt filled them with inspiration to take back to their own gardens this summer.

The biggest garden trends to come from Chelsea and for us to embrace in 2022, include bold and bright planting choices, rewilding, growing your own and gardening in small spaces. These trends lend themselves nicely to two common and very important themes - wellbeing and sustainability.

Rainbow of colour Now is the time to start experimenting with bolder and more colourful flower and plant choices.

The pandemic sadly impacted on suppliers and imports from Europe, which

left gardens with plain and subdued colours rather than a burst of floral rainbow that both we and our flower beds need!

economic benefits, who doesn’t feel great about eating produce that has been home grown? There’s no time like the present to get started!

From fruit and vegetables to fragrant herbs – they are all fantastic additions to your dinner plate and to your summer BBQs!

Osteospermum, Dianthus and Alliums are perfect to add this pop of colour, plus they are intensely fragrant and fantastic for attracting bees and other pollinators.

Rewilding Rewilding is a conservation effort where we take a step back and leave nature to do its thing. It is about making our gardens more wildlife friendly to help them thrive.

Get creative by letting your grass grow and ditch the weeding, sow wildflower seeds, swap your fencing for hedging and make simple bug hotels. By making some of these changes, you’ll be producing a more sustainable area and habitats for wildlife.

Growing your own Growing fruit and vegetable at home is still extremely popular. From its numerous health, sustainability, and

Small space gardening No matter the size of your garden, you can still be highly innovative to get the best out of it. If you have a small outdoor space or balcony, how about growing plants up the walls using quirky and colourful pots? Or fill a container with an edible garden or bright hydrangeas or geraniums?

What’s great about all these trends, is that they are keeping wellbeing and sustainability at their heart.

Each trend is not expensive to do, and they are easy to implement. From novice to experienced gardener – any of these are possible.

Happy gardening!

YOUR LOCAL THEATRE COMPETITION

Classic Romantic Comedy and Midsomer Music at the Players Theatre Thame Players present Nobody’s Perfect

By Simon Williams Tuesday 5th – Saturday 9th July Tickets £8 - £10 Love Is All Around, a feminist publishing house with the motto ‘For Women

By Women’, is running a competition to find new romantic fiction. To avoid gender bias, Leonard Loftus is forced to submit his novel under a female pseudonym, Myrtle Banbury.

When ‘she’ wins first prize, Leonard begins to have a major problem. As a bashful statistician with a spectacular alter ego, he tries frantically to keep up the Myrtle charade, while enduring domestic complications from Dee Dee, his wayward daughter, and Gus, his rascally old father. His problems are made worse when he falls hopelessly in love with Harriet, who runs the company. In high heels and lipstick, our hero is

caught in a hilarious dilemma of cross-dressing and crosspurposes.

Nobody’s Perfect has been acclaimed as a classic feelgood romantic comedy in the UK, Europe and Australia, offering belly laughs galore - the final scene has been described as a comic masterpiece.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd Midsomer Music and More A musical journey on the theremin and a talk on the Magic of Midsomer with Lydia Kavina and Tony Long Friday 29th July at 7.45pm Lydia Kavina is one of the world’s leading performers on the theremin, the unusual instrument used during the title music of the longrunning ITV detective series, Midsomer Murders. Here she gives a performance showing

the range and versatility of the theremin. To complement the concert, Tony Long will give a fascinating talk on the history of Midsomer Murders and the involvement Thame has had in the filming of the show over many years.

Presented by Thame Museum in association with Thame Players Tickets £10 • Book online at thameplayers.co.uk or from the Information Centre at Thame Town Hall (check website for opening times).

• Follow us on Twitter.com/ thametheatre, Facebook.com/ thametheatre and Instagram. com/thameplayers • Midsomer Music and More is linked to the exhibition The Making of Midsomer: Thame’s Role in 25 Years of Midsomer Murders at Thame Museum from 25th June – 30th September. Entry free.

Exclusive Competition For a chance to win complimentary tickets for a family of four to a Thame Players production*, answer the following question:

Who wins the prize for new romantic fiction?

Email your answer, along with your name and address, to Coralie at salesprv@live.co.uk by Friday August 19th
