Editors’Letter Welcome to the September/October issue of Chiltern View magazine.

For many people, Autumn is their favourite time of year, and we would definitely have to agree with this. There’s something strangely comforting about colder, frosty days, especially if the sun is shining. Nights drawing in, cosy evenings with open fires, warming stews or comfort puddings, but especially the beautiful red and gold colours of the wonderful countryside where we live. We feel our front cover captures this and the bright sunlight signalling a brighter future ahead, after all the troubled times we’ve had lately.

We are all hopeful that schools and universities can welcome students back to a ‘normal’ year of teaching and learning, after such a difficult time of online studies and zoom meetings. Well done to all those who have completed this year and we wish you every success in your next adventure.

Things do finally feel like they are opening up and we are so excited to include 4 competitions in this issue!! We welcome back Aylesbury Theatre. They

are once again offering fantastic shows and are giving our readers the chance to win tickets (p60).

Thame Players (p24) have also opened their doors and they have many exciting shows on offer and a competition too! Both theatres have been hit particularly hard by all the restrictions and would welcome your support.

Abingdon Air Show (p50) also missed out last year and have had many changes of dates, but fingers crossed the show will go on this time and you could win tickets; - but enter quicky!

We also have news on Kop Hill (p 32). Having missed last year altogether, they are back and are providing a much-needed family weekend of exciting events.

But, what about the 4th competition? Well, this is definitely the biggest prize we have ever included, and it comes from Kado in Princes Risborough, who are offering an amazing £200 shopping experience for 2! Truly a fantastic chance to win an amazing choice of gifts, so get your entries in now. (see centre pages).

Good luck to all those who take part!

Until next time

Hypnotherapy I usually get an arched eyebrow and tightening of the lips when I tell people I’m a Hypnotherapist.

People often don’t know what a Hypnotherapist really is and it can make them a little nervous, thinking that the control of their mind is at stake. Well, nothing could be further from the truth!

Hypnotherapy utilises trance (another word which can make people nervous) which is a very natural state we often find ourselves in, at various points in the day; it’s

that daydreamy state when you’re totally relaxed and, most importantly, totally in control. We can go into a type of trance when out walking, when gardening or when just listening to our favourite music.

Hypnotherapy is the process of purposefully getting into this state and utilising it.

The mind is highly receptive to new suggestion in trance and, working with the client’s desired outcome, it is the perfect state to help people make the changes they want to see.

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern therapy combining the use of psychotherapy (talking

therapy) with hypnosis. As a modern psychotherapeutic approach, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses practical, structured, and wellresearched strategies to help people make significant and positive changes in their lives. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can be used to treat a wide range of issues and is especially effective with conditions where stress and/ or anxiety is involved.

Work gets underway on lasting tribute to Buckinghamshire’s community spirit.

Work has begun on the construction of Nightingale’s Rainbow – a new sculptural installation at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury which will stand to pay tribute to the community spirit and kindness shown across the communities of Buckinghamshire during the pandemic and will be a permanent symbol of hope in the face of adversity.

Alongside the physical structure, a Virtual Nightingale’s Rainbow has been created where you can show your personal appreciation and support for anyone who has supported you or your community through the crisis by buying a Rainbow Tile in their name. You can leave a personal message of thanks which will be added to the Virtual Rainbow and put up on displays across Buckinghamshire later in the year.

Each Rainbow Tile costs £20, with the proceeds split between Buckinghamshire NHS Charitable Fund and Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity to support nurses, other healthcare workers and patients across the county as we recover from the pandemic.

You can purchase a Rainbow Tile and leave your personal message of thanks and appreciation at www.nightingalesrainbow. org.uk.

Cloudy2Clear, A Local Family Service With A Smile I think we can all agree that as the weeks and months go by and we move further away from a disastrous 2020, that we can once again start to feel optimistic about the future. Now we are hopefully ready to take on the remainder of 2021 both safely and positively. One thing is for sure though, there have also been some heart warming positives that we can take out of last year. It has often been said that we can only really get to know one another and realise what is truly important in times of crisis. I think few would argue that in this case what has proven to be important is local community and family spirit.

When talking to Trevor & Wendy Skidmore the

owners of Cloudy2Clear Northampton & Oxford it became clear that these values have been held for over 13 years. Since buying the local franchise in 2006 they have remained true to their core values of supporting the local community whilst introducing their 2 sons Lloyd & Ross into the family business along with Dan, Mark & Jo as demand for their service has grown.

YOUR LOCAL THEATRE COMPETITION

A Musical Extravaganza in Thame!

Newly re-opened following a year of lockdowns, Thame Players are treating us to a musical extravaganza this autumn, with six very different shows, from rock bands and comic opera to music with a touch of comedy and tributes to the iconic Tina Turner and Abba.

On Sunday 19th September, rock band Pulse present their tribute to the legendary 60s and 70s band Pink Floyd, while on Friday 24th September, the Merry Opera Company present Gilbert and Sullivan’s best-known comic opera, The Mikado.

They are followed on Sunday 26th September by Thame’s very own Boodlum Band featuring the usual line-up of ukulele, double bass, washboard and phonofiddle.

The Boodlums find humour in the best and worst of popular music and are a sell-out every time they come.

On Saturday 2nd October, Steamy Windows perform a tribute to the great Tina Turner, whose stellar career spanned over 50 years.

This is a dynamic smash-hit production, widely accepted as Tina’s foremost tribute act.

On Sunday 3rd October there is a tribute to Cat Stevens, or Yusuf as he later became known, in aid of UNICEF UK. This tribute show is an honest and loving reflection of the timeless and insightful music of this hugely popular and adored singer/songwriter, performed by Keith James.

To round off this musical extravaganza, on Friday 29th October, Abba Sensation, one of the best-ever Abba tribute acts, will be putting on a stunning show with the Abba sound.

All shows start at 7.45pm.

• Ticket prices – live or streamed - watch in the theatre or at home: Pulse £18 each, Mikado £15 each, Boodlum Band £13, concessions £12 (not streaming) Steamy Windows £15, Cat Stevens £16, Abba £16 (not streaming and almost sold out) • Book online at www. 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

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

Which band’s line-up includes the ukulele?

Email your answer, along with your name and address, to Coralie at salesprv@live.co.uk by Friday 8th October.

BOOKS

Authors in Autumn Lose yourself this summer within the pages of these thrilling fictional offerings.

Never Saw Me Coming

by Vera Kurian Thriller lovers will enjoy getting stuck into Vera Kurian’s fresh take on the psychopath trope, whose main protagonist is Chloe, a ‘First-year student, ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door...and highly intelligent diagnosed psychopath.’

Never Saw Me Coming is a sharp, electrifying and hugely entertaining thriller with an antiheroine who will work her manipulative magic on you.

Published by Harvill Secker on September the 9th.

Apples Never Fall

by Liane Moriarty Fans of the Australian author will revel in the twisty, thrilling joys in this highly anticipated

release, which doesn’t disappoint.

Joy Delaney and husband Stan have done well. Four wonderful grown-up children; a family business to envy; the golden years of retirement ahead of them. So when Joy Delaney vanishes – no note, no calls, her bike missing – it’s natural that tongues will wag… but for the Delaney children there is a much more terrifying question: did they ever know their parents at all?

Published by Michael Joseph on September the 14th.

The Magician

by Colm Tóibín From one of our greatest living writers comes a sweeping novel of unrequited love, exile, war and family.

The Magician tells the story of Thomas Mann, whose life was filled with great acclaim and contradiction. Found on the wrong side of history in the First World War, he would have six children and keep his homosexuality hidden; a man forever connected to his family and yet bore witness to the ravages of suicide, eventually winning the Nobel Prize.

Through one life, Colm Tóibín tells the breath-taking story of the twentieth century.

Published by Viking on September the 23rd.

The Hill We Climb and Other Poems by Amanda Gorman Anyone who watched the inauguration of the 46th President of The United States, Joe Biden, will remember the stirring and highly emotive reading by Amanda Gorman of her poem The Hill We Climb.

Now presenting her debut collection of poetry under the same name, Gorman further proves her extraordinary talent and potential as one of literature’s brightest rising stars.

Published by Chatto & Windus on September the 21st.

Beautiful Country - A Memoir of An Undocumented Childhood by Qian Julie Wang Qian is just seven when she moves to America, the ‘Beautiful Country’, where she and her parents find that the roads of New York City are not paved with gold, but crushing fear and scarcity.

This memoir is an unforgettable account of what it means to live under the perpetual threat of deportation and the small joys and sheer determination that kept her family afloat in a new land. Published by Viking on September the 30th.

Kop Hill Climb Festival Returns!

September 25th/26th A unique family occasion!

Celebrating 111 years since the first-ever climb in 1910, Kop is back with its everpopular mix of hundreds of classic vehicles, trade stands, the Soapbox Challenge, children’s area, period funfair, live music, wide variety of culinary delights and the Red Lion beer tent! Kop is the single largest charity event in the county, having raised some £770,000 for our local good causes since the revival in 2009.

As always, there will be some new attractions.

This year marks the 60th Anniversary of the Historic Jaguar E-type, so come along and see an example of every model of that iconic car ever produced. Other anniversaries include AC and Alvis.

The Engineering Village has been...well... re-engineered and will feature the Bicester and Brooklands Apprentices. There are also plans to have helicopter rides over and around the location.

A great deal has happened in the two years since the much-loved event last took place, including the arrival of many new residents. Whether you have been to the event before or if it is brand new to you, a warm welcome awaits as always. Go to www.kophillclimb.org.uk to book your tickets now! We look forward to seeing you there!

GARDENING

Greenfingers…

the Alan Titchmarsh Column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration; and this month, as autumn works its way into our outdoor spaces, Alan Titchmarsh explains why variety is the spice of life, even in the garden!

most exciting times is when you wake up on a certain day and you can just smell the fact the season has arrived. It’s something in the air - a kind of sourness, a tang that lingers.

You can smell things just beginning to decay, but it’s in a way that is replenishing, stimulating and invigorating, because it means things are turning and new possibilities are around the corner.

With the approach of autumn, at the moment we’re going through that phase where the colours and the shapes are changing.

There’s sometimes a sadness when you realise summer is coming to an end, and the leaves certainly seem to be falling earlier this year. My advice though, is to embrace the new season and really go after all the potential and possibilities that it holds. After all, we’re actually very lucky in Britain – where plants are concerned we can afford ourselves a different favourite every month; snowdrops in January, daffodils in February, tulips in March and so on.

People tend to associate autumn with brown and orange tones, and a rustling underfoot; but it’s about much more than that. One of the

look at the lovely ferns it’s now growing.

Next, perhaps start autumn with a tidy-up of borders, or a clean out of the greenhouse, or perhaps even renew a few tools. Also, consider getting your compost boosted with all those leaves suddenly in abundance.

And finally, invest in some evergreens to offer texture and volume in areas of the garden that might start looking a little sparser.

Mostly though, look forward to the coming change and admire nature’s versatility.

There is tremendous colour still around us, and where the leaves have descended, look at the skeletal, artistic majesty of trees.

So as autumn arrives I would offer the following bits of advice. Firstly, hold on to the last bits of colour and savour them. Next, enjoy what’s there - perhaps you have some raspberries or any number of the late-flowering varieties such as Cyclamens, Begonias, and of course, Crocuses.

Also, see how your garden is evolving – sure, that asparagus bed is no longer cropping, but

Remember, anticipation is an underrated commodity.

People expect everything instantly now because they are able to go into a supermarket and have what they want when they want it.

Yet there is more to it than that, where our gardens are concerned - I like looking forward in life and I thrive on anticipation because, of course, when it does happen, it’s that much more enjoyable.

Chinnor Runners are Running the length of Wales for Diabetes Simon Pollard and Mark Evans are going to be running the length of Wales to help to raise money for charity.

Starting on the 6th of September 2021, they are taking part in the world’s toughest mountain race, the ‘Dragon’s Back’ (www. dragonsbackrace.com). This means they have +400kms of running and +57k feet (twice the height of Everest!) of climbing ahead of them over every single mountain in Wales. Across 6 days, they’ll hopefully run from Conway

Castle in the North to Cardiff Castle in the South.

The background and inspiration for this challenge is Simon’s 7 year old son, Ethan! He was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in 2020 which has had a huge impact on his life. Whilst he has been incredibly brave in tackling all challenges which the disease throws his way, he remains a happy, smiley and positive little boy! To help Ethan and others like him, Mark and Simon are hoping to raise funds which will be shared equally across the following important charities:

• Diabetes UK (www.diabetes.org.uk/) • The Paediatrics Diabetes Team (PDT) at the Children’s Ward in Stoke Mandeville Hospital (SMH) of Buckinghamshire • Healthcare NHS Trust St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School in Chinnor You can sponsor Simon and Mark for the run by donating money at their page here: https:// uk.virginmoneygiving.com/ SimonPollard7 Equally, should you wish to contribute via an alternative method, please email Simon at pollardsimon@hotmail.com.

Introducing Exercise Amongst Everything Fitting exercise into a busy schedule can be a roadblock to a successful regime.

However, people do not need to dedicate large amounts of extra time to exercise to see the benefits.

Here are some tips for fitting physical activity into a busy schedule: • See which car journeys you can replace with walking or cycling. Is driving to work or school necessary?

• People who commute to work by public transport could try getting off their bus or train a few stops early and walking the rest of the way.

44

• Housework, gardening, and going up and down the stairs while doing chores also qualify as physical activity and can help people meet the guidelines productively. People will likely gain the most benefit from exercises they enjoy and that fit their lifestyle.

Some of the examples below are the easiest to fit into a daily routine: • Go for a brisk 30-minute walk five times every week.

• Walk your dog more often or go for walks with friends.

• Join some exercise classes that are fun, collaborative, and educational.

Exercise is sometimes a gradual learning curve. A person should spread sessions across the week and scale up the intensity slowly.

It is important for people to ensure they drink plenty of water during and after exercise.

Any exercise is better than none for people who currently have an inactive lifestyle.

It is worth remembering that even 10-minute bursts of physical activity during the day provide health benefits.

Best wishes, David

Happiness is…

Scottish country dancing!

18 months is a long time without dancing…..

the 9th of September and our New Dancers’ Class will start a few weeks later.

During that time, we’ve been taking part in virtual weekly classes and other celebrations which have “kept us on our toes”. But dancing alone at home comes a poor second to the thrill of dancing with friends and enjoying the irresistible rhythms of the jigs, reels and strathspeys of Scottish country dancing. So, we’re really looking forward to resuming dancing in Wendover Memorial Hall on

If you’re looking for a new fitness activity after lockdown, why not join our class?

Scottish country dancing is a great way to keep fit mentally and physically. You don’t need to be Scottish, wear a kilt or have a partner – and your first visit is free.

In the current circumstances, it’s possible numbers might be restricted when we return,

so please contact me before the 9th of September for the latest information.

KINETICO WATER go limescale-free and love your shiny new home!

GULP! The damaging effects of hard water are far more serious than you might think Limescale in your water supply is impacting both you and your home.

The most obvious sign you live in a hard water area is in your kettle. Mineral deposits in the water are left all over the kettle in the form of damaging and unsightly limescale. Most people just use a descaler and think no more of it. But, if you fill your kettle with hard water that also means you’re running it through your hot water boiler, washing machine, dishwasher, plumbing and you’re showering in it too!

Hard Water

Soft Water

You’ll notice the difference straight away When you wash in soft Kinetico water your skin will feel softer and your hair will look shinier.

Your tiles, shower screen and work surfaces will be so much easier and quicker to clean too.

You can transform the water you drink too

With a Kinetico Drinking Water Filter you can also enjoy filtered water on tap. It can take out impurities like chlorine, lead and bacteria to provide a constant supply of filtered water. Better than jug filtered water, it’s also cheaper per litre than bottled water.

There’s comedy aplenty, (good news after the last year!) with the multi award-winning smash hit comedy The Play That Goes Wrong (22 - 27 Nov) returning due to popular demand, and stand-up comics including Rob Brydon (16 Oct), Omid Djalili (19 Oct), Alan Carr (24 Oct) and Al Murray (25 Oct).
