Editors’ Letter Welcome to the Jan/Feb issue of Chiltern View (Villages) magazine and Happy New Year to all our readers and advertisers.

We do hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to the year ahead.

We had a lot of changes here at Chiltern Directories last year. At times some of these changes were quite a challenge, but we now find ourselves stronger and more positive than ever. We moved offices, launched the Thame area magazine, lost and gained key staff members, changed the delivery of the magazine and doubled our distribution to include a much larger area, which has proved to be a great success with both readers and advertisers. We hope to continue to build all 3 magazines this year but to keep the same format, with a good mixture of local articles, business promotion and community information.

Our Christmas Charity donation went to Lane End Youth and Community Centre and we were so pleased to have been able to give to such a good cause.

The lovely front cover picture was kindly sent across by Martin Patmore who is a local photographer from Bledlow Ridge, it shows a chilly picture of Bottom Road in Radnage. Martin’s cards are available in the shop at Bledlow Ridge and West Wycombe Village Store.

Until the next time

Red Onion Soup with Melting Gruyere Croutons

After all the indulgence and expense of Christmas and the New Year, this hearty soup is the perfect antidote. Ideal for a warming winter lunch or supper it’s simple to make, tastes delicious and doesn’t cost a fortune.

Method

1 Heat the oil and butter in a large, deep heavy-based saucepan until the butter is sizzling. Add all the sliced onions and cook very gently over a low heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.

2 Sprinkle over the sugar and cover and cook for a further 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very soft and golden.

3 Stir in the flour and half the mustard and cook for 1 minute, then gradually stir in the stock. Add the thyme sprigs, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper (see Tip) and bring to the boil.

4 Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Serves 4 Ready in 1½ hours

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil 15g butter 650g small red onions, peeled and thinly sliced 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tbsp flour 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard 1.2litres beef or vegetable stock Few sprigs fresh thyme, plus extra to garnish Salt and freshly ground black pepper 8 thin slices day old French bread 75g Gruyere cheese, grated PAGE 10

Lightly toast the slices of French bread on one side. Spread the untoasted sides with the rest of the mustard and top with the grated Gruyere cheese. Pop under a hot grill for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

6 Ladle the soup into warmed bowls and top each with two hot Gruyere croutons.

Serve immediately garnished with thyme sprigs.

TIP If you use stock made up from stock cubes taste the soup before adding any seasoning as some can be quite highly seasoned.

Dog of the Month Hi there, my name is Dale and I’m a 1 year old small mixed breed.

I am a very sweet boy although I can get a little worried when people bend over me or move their hands too fast. I LOVE to run so will need a home with a secure garden and owners who like to have long walks every day.

I like other dogs and may be able to live with a cat (subject to a test), and if there are children in the home I would prefer that they are aged 8 years and over.

If you are interested in offering me, or any other dog, a loving home please visit Stokenchurch Dog Rescue any day except Thursday between 2pm and 4pm, or give them a call on 01494 482695.

It would be great to see you!

The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) covers a huge swathe of our local countryside, stretching from the River Thames in Oxfordshire up through Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire to Hitchin in Hertfordshire.

routes of all lengths: you can do a gentle walk in a valley, visit attractive villages, stroll through a river meadow or tackle a longer walk along the Chilterns ridge, admiring the stunning views before popping into a country pub for well-earned refreshments.

The Chiltern Hills have been well-known for centuries, though not always for the best reasons.

In medieval times the heavily-wooded hills and secluded valleys were the hangout of fugitives escaping the law and the area acquired a bad reputation. However, as nearby London grew some of its prosperous citizens began seeking country estates and a number of great houses and parks were created in the Chilterns, gradually improving its respectability. Nowadays you can visit many of these properties plus a wealth of other historic treasures in the area.

There are lots of ways to enjoy the Chilterns, and most will keep you and your wallet healthy!

With over 2000km of footpaths criss-crossing the area, plus the Ridgeway and Thames Path National Trails, the opportunities to go for scenic walks are endless. There are many circular walking PAGE 20

Chilterns Conservation Board

Crowell Hill footpath near Chinnor

View of Fingest Valley

If you enjoy cycling there are lots of promoted bike rides. Some of the area’s most scenic lanes have been included in the Chilterns Cycleway – a 173 mile on-road cycling route that goes right around the Chilterns AONB. You may have seen the brown signs for it. There’s no need to do the full route in one go – there are plenty of options for enjoying part of the Cycleway on a circular day ride.

Winter is one of the best times to get out into the Chilterns countryside – why not wrap up and head out? The red kites are out in full force, soaring above the fields and woods with their russet feathers glowing in the winter sun. You can crunch through piles of leaves in the woods and look for the first signs of snowdrops peeking through.

The Chilterns Conservation Board is the official public body tasked with caring for and promoting the Chilterns AONB. We’re a small organisation but we cover a lot – from encouraging good design in new buildings to conserving wildlife, working with farmers and woodland owners, devising new walks and cycle routes and running public events. We also provide lots of information on where to go and what to see in the Chilterns AONB on our website www.chilternsaonb.org.

You can download walking and cycling leaflets, information on the Chilterns Cycleway and find out about local attractions and events.

It is a beautiful area, full of rolling chalk hills, beech woodland, clear chalk streams and a wealth of wildlife. It was designated as an AONB in 1965, in recognition that its landscape is amongst the finest in the country. It is one of 46 AONBs in the UK which, together with National Parks, represent our most scenic countryside.

Plant of the Month Primrose Perfect for a splash of colour whilst the rest of the garden hibernates, the Primrose is one of the surest signs that spring is around the corner.

The name derives from the Latin prima rosa which means ‘first rose’ and this beautiful little flower bursts forth with low level blooms that brighten many a gardens corner. They prefer a damp environment which is why you’ll often see them in woods, verges and hedge- banks.

Divide these plants frequently and ensure that they have a well dug and fertile soil and you’ll enjoy these for many years to come.

A Healthy Start For the New Year

A lot of us may be feeling a little sluggish after over-indulging during the festive period.

January is a time of year many of us consider our waistlines and this may be a good time to think about your pets weight as well, especially if they too have enjoyed some Christmas treats!

Pet obesity is an ever increasing problem that we encounter in veterinary practice. Although some diseases such as having a low thyroid level and Cushings disease can cause obesity in pets, poor lifestyle management is still the number one culprit and it can have severe health consequences. One of the most common complications of obesity in our pets is the development of diabetes mellitus.

Overweight pets are also at a very high risk of developing orthopaedic problems due to the increased stress excess weight puts on their joints.

Other diseases associated with obesity include cardiorespiratory disease and some cancers, for example mammary and bladder cancers. It is worth remembering most commercial diets are balanced and our pets don’t need human foods in their diet as well.

One crisp for a dog is the equivalent to us eating a whole hamburger!

So if you are starting the new year with a healthy resolution, consider your furry friends as well.

It’s never too late to change old habits and most veterinary practices will offer free weight clinics if you need help kick-starting their regime.

Winter Illness and Antibiotics

Question: which one of these statements is false? a) I need antibiotics if I’ve had a chesty cough for more than a week b) I need antibiotics if I have a headache and green nasal discharge for more than five days c) I need antibiotics if I’ve had a sore throat for longer than three days

a period of time. If at any point you begin to feel really unwell and/or develop a high temperature, speak to your doctor. Needless to say, if you have a chronic chest problem, consult your doctor at the first sign of breathlessness.

Answer: trick question, they are all false!

Antibiotic resistance in the UK has been steadily climbing to the point where we are now seeing frighteningly resistant bugs. One of the causes is over prescription of antibiotics by GP surgeries and hospitals for minor illnesses that are either caused by viruses, in which case there is no benefit from taking antibiotics, or for conditions that your own immune system normally will have dealt with without needing any extra pills.

Antibiotics will only treat bacterial infections. These can occur secondary to viral infections and simple precautions and treatment are often enough to ensure a full recovery without needing them, especially if you are generally fit and well.

If a sore throat (usually viral) ‘always’ ends in tonsillitis, gargle aspirin, brush your teeth an extra few times a day and if you smoke, give up smoking. All these will reduce your chance of developing it. If you go on to have a high temperature after 3 days and white spots on your tonsils despite doing some or all of the above, well, at least you did your bit. Speak to your doctor then.

If you go down with a cough and have no other chronic chest problems, expect to have it for 2-3 weeks. If you don’t have a temperature, are not breathless or coughing up lots of green/brown sputum (moderate amounts of yellow/green sputum are a normal function of your immune system) inhale steam, humidify your bedroom overnight and it will likely improve by itself over PAGE 30

A recent paper has shown that acute sinusitis rarely responds to antibiotics, if there is an improvement it’s a paltry 24 hours’ worth – again, your immune system simply does its job efficiently and clears it all up over 5-7 days. Take painkillers if you have facial pain or headaches, inhale steam to decongest and settle your sinuses, and avoid decongestants. They work by drying up the sinuses and can exacerbate the problem. Do use nasal sprays - head down, close one nostril, aim towards the back of the head and squirt. They can help with inflammation.

Again, if you feel progressively more unwell with temperatures or pain, speak to your doctor.

Give yourself the best chance by eating healthily, taking plenty of moderate exercise and not smoking and you should throw off most of the normal winter bugs. If you are eligible for a flu jab, have one.

Stay well!

The Tree at Cadmore End

The Tree at Cadmore End is a warm and inviting venue, offering mouth watering lunch and evening menus.

It is the ideal place to enjoy truly warming food this winter, with herbs and spices galore, proof that winter eating can be truly comforting and satisfying.

We found the restaurant to be cosy and comfortable, with a roaring log fire and delightful décor and we were immediately made to feel very welcome and relaxed by the lovely staff. The food on offer is an interesting mix of European and Indian cuisines, using fresh food (without the use of freezing) and a good choice of real ales.

They offer superb sharing platters (I particularly enjoyed the Indian Platter which included Fish Pakora and Pan fried Scallops wrapped in Parma ham), a seasonal soup and a vegetarian option in the Starter Menu.

Starters range in price from £5.25 to £7.95.

and Indian flavours to enhance the main meal. There is also a fabulous Sunday Roast and this would be the perfect place to spend a winter lunchtime or evening with family and friends.

The dessert menu is more traditional and includes a fabulous Bailey’s Crème Brulee (£5.75) and Baked Mango Cheescake (£4.95).

This is a lovely restaurant with a special choice of food and great ambience – why not make this your choice for your next evening out. Have a look at the advert on Page 33 for information about the fantastic special offers in January and February 2014 and give yourself a real Tree(t)

The main course menu is extensive, with fresh fish , a variety of curries ( I can fully recommend the Anglo Indian Railway Lamb Curry which is made with slow cooked lamb, coconut and baby new potatoes – delicious), and a very traditional Sirloin or Rib Eye Steak.

Main courses are priced from £10.95. There are optional side dishes, with both European PAGE 32

on the day of issue. Most trains convey a buffet car and the Cambrian Cafe at the station serves reasonably priced tea, coffee, light refreshments and delicious homemade treats. There’s also a well-stocked shop selling railway-style souvenirs and gift items and we find the volunteer staffs are always delighted to discuss their activities with you – but beware, they are so enthusiastic you could end up becoming a volunteer!

The Chinnor Railway is our local friendly volunteer operated branch line in the style of the former Great Western Railway and is a not to be missed heritage attraction for tourists, families and enthusiasts alike.

Historic steam and vintage diesel services run most Sundays and some Saturdays from Mothering Sunday 30th March to Halloween on 26th October 2014.

Starting out from the delightfully restored Chinnor station with its ample free parking, the line follows the foot of the Chiltern Hills and runs parallel to the historic Icknield Way until it reaches the outskirts of Princes Risborough. The round trip is a leisurely 45 minutes long allowing you to take-in some very attractive open countryside and to enjoy outstanding views across the Vale of Whiteleaf.

Tickets for Standard Timetable days are generally issued on the basis of pay-once-and-stay-all-day, and so you can make as many journeys as you wish

In addition to the Standard Timetables there are popular Special Events throughout the year including on 14 June when you can see behind the scenes on the railway’s Open Day, whilst between 9–21 August an intensive service will be run to celebrate 20 years of heritage railway operation, then on 12 October all available steam and diesel locomotives will be in operation on Gala Day. Always popular are the Murder Mystery evenings on 10 May, 5 July and 13 Sept 2014 with dinner and wine served on- board your steam hauled train. Or try one of the Quiz Nights aboard the diesel hauled Watlington Flyer on 31 May, 19 July, 30 August and 27 Sept 2014 and enjoy a fish’n’chip supper whilst you test your general knowledge.

Wildlife on the Move is always popular with an experienced guide and commentary on 5 April, 7 June, 26 July and 6 September 2014.

Various fare offers are available from time to time, including Mum travels FREE on Mothering Sunday 30 March 2014, children carrying a Teddy Bear travel FREE on 4-5 May and 25-26 Aug 2014, Dad travels FREE on Father’s Day 15 June. You need to be accompanied by a full fare paying passenger, except on Senior Days 13 July & 5 October 2014 when all those 60+ travel HALF-PRICE. In fact, when you purchase any ticket to travel on the line you are not just buying travel back in time - your contribution helps to keep a little bit of our unique history alive and you help to preserve it for future generations to enjoy too.

Sunshine Montessori

At Sunshine Montessori we are passionate about our Forest School and its place in our overall nursery provision for your child.

Through Forest School and other environmentally -based initiatives, we hope to enable your child to develop a lifelong love and understanding of the natural environment, whilst developing the core purposes of the Forest School ethos, namely, development of selfesteem, confidence and social skills.

This seems particularly pertinent for the modern child when studies and reports are constantly informing us that children are becoming estranged

from the natural world, and where national obesity and fitness levels are giving cause for concern.

Forest School offers children the opportunity to reconnect with nature in a magical and stimulating setting.

The children are encouraged to explore and experiment within this natural setting. Sometimes the activities they choose are exciting and challenging (such as den building, tree climbing, making rope pulleys, camp fires, cooking).

Sometimes a child might prefer to explore, looking for bugs, insects, badger dens, bird nests. At other times children create wonderful role-play and make believe games. Almost invariably the woodland setting truly inspires children, providing opportunities for personal and social development and laying foundations for other learning.

Forest School wonderfully complements the Montessori ethos and we are pretty sure that your child will love, look forward to and greatly benefit from this aspect of our provision!

The Spice of Life...

Nutmeg This aromatic spice is derived from the egg-shaped seed of the Nutmeg tree which is ready to harvest around 7 years after it has been planted and gives its fullest crops after 20 years.

A few hundred years ago, nutmeg was one of the most valuable and sought after spices.

It is best to buy nutmeg whole, store it in an airtight container and simply grate it freshly when needed. It is easy to grate and provides much more flavor than ready ground types. It’ll keep indefinitely this way.

Other uses: Pain relief Liver and kidney detox Sleep aid Sprinkled on drinks

Nowadays it is available all year round and is similar in flavor to mace which is the red coating of the hard seed inside the fruit, with the nutmeg itself being the nut (or seed). Mace is a little more bitter to taste.

This is a perfect winter spice and is evocative of Christmas with it being such a super addition to mulled wines, cakes and bakes.

Cashback Cards

By Martin Lewis If I told you I could give you £100s a year with no debt and very little hassle – and all you need to do is change your plastic – would you? If the answer’s yes, read on, as now is the perfect time to grab a cashback credit card.

For many, it’s an easy and lucrative way to boost your income.

Now’s the moment because the top deals will boost cashback for the first three months you have them. So apply NOW and that boost lasts for most people’s highest-spending period – Christmas and the January sales.

This can be serious cash. As one of my Twitter followers (@martinslewis), NM, told me: “Our cashback cards earned us £250+ last year.” This isn’t unusual, I’ve even heard of some big spenders going over the £1,000 mark. So here’s what you need to know: Never pay interest on a cashback card Cashback cards only win if you set up a direct debit to repay IN FULL every month. If not, don’t go for a cashback card, go for the best 0% for spending deals (see www.mse.me/spendingcards).

Now you’ve got a debit card that pays you Your credit card is now effectively a monthly-billing debit card, provided you stick within the limit.

Use it for ALL spending instead of cash, cheques and debit cards. If you’re in a trusting relationship, add your partner as a second cardholder, so their spending earns too.

Huge 5% cashback over Christmas and January sales The no annual fee www.americanexpress.co.uk Platinum Everyday card pays newbies 5% for the first three months until January, up to a maximum £100 back in that time. Though if you fail to fully repay, it’s 19.9% rep APR. After the 5% ends, the rate’s up to 1.25%, depending on how much you spend. It requires a decent credit score and household earnings of £20,000+.

PAGE 46

You’ll get the cashback in time for next Christmas With the Amex card your cashback is paid on the anniversary of the account opening. In effect, it’s actually subtracted from your spending. For example, if you owed £400 and had £200 cashback, you’d be charged £200. So open one now and it’s a boost for next Christmas.

Top card if you’ve a less than perfect credit score To get most cashback cards you need a good credit score. Frustratingly, the only way to find out for sure is to apply, but that involves putting a mark on your credit file (whether you’re accepted or not).

To find your likely odds of acceptance for many different cards, I’ve built an Eligibility Checker tool at www.mse.me/CashbackEligibility, which tells you your chances without any impact on your credit score.

For those with a lower credit score, the card most likely to accept you is the www.capitalone. co.uk Classic Extra. It pays 0.5% cashback, plus a £10 yearly bonus if you manage it well, paid each January. As it’s primarily marketed as a card to rebuild credit for those with weak histories, even some with past CCJs or defaults can get it. Though you must repay IN FULL each month, or it’s a hideous 34.9% APR. Cashback card golden rules: These three facts are so important they’re worth reiterating: a) Always use a monthly direct debit to repay IN FULL, so it’s interest-free. b) Don’t use it as an excuse to overspend. c) Ensure you’ve got the cash to repay monthly.

Spending on a credit card is huge extra protection By law, buy anything costing £100 to £30,000 and pay, even partly, on any credit card (not debit or charge) and Section 75 laws mean the lender’s jointly liable. So if an item’s faulty, or the retailer goes bust pre-delivery, you can get money back from the card firm.

Monthly Focus – Valentines Valentine’s Day as we understand it now, with the sending of cards, giving of chocolates, flowers and other gifts, originated in the UK during the 18th century when the notion of celebrating romantic love on this day began, having originally been a day of celebrating early Christian saints.

During the 19th century, sending a valentines card became so popular that their demand necessitated factories dedicated to producing cards with real lace and ribbons, replacing the hand crafted cards from before.

It is estimated that in the USA approximately 190 million valentines are sent each year and in the UK PAGE 54

over 25 million. And that doesn’t include the ones that are now lovingly emailed!

In Japan there is a custom that women only give chocolates to men and indeed it is Valentine’s Day when the chocolate companies make half their revenue. Yet it is on Christmas Eve when they celebrate romantic “date night”!

Popular Valentines gifts: Flowers Chocolates Champagne Cuddly toys Heart cup cakes Jewellery

Book Review: Tying the Knot It’s widely reported that divorce rates sky-rocket in January, with more people citing irreconcilable differences in the first four weeks of the year than at any other time. We’ve put together some funny, tragic and heart-warming tales that focus on matrimony: how to get into a marriage, how to get out of one, or even, controversially, how to stay in one.

The Kitchen God’s Wife, Amy Tan Pearl Louie Brandt has a secret she wants to keep from her mother, Winnie. But Winnie has secrets of her own and to retell her story we must travel back to Shanghai in the 1920s, unravelling the story of how Winnie came to live in America. The Kitchen God’s Wife is called ‘Lady Sorrowfree’, who has endured many things without credit or praise, but who remains strong. Here lies the message for all the generations of the family; how we live our lives and how we build our relationships affects those around us.

The Mayor of Casterbridge, Thomas Hardy Nothing will end a marriage faster than getting drunk on rum and selling your wife. In fact, why not throw in your daughter too, for the fair price of five guineas. The trouble with wives, unless you’re a widower, is the fact that they then come back to find you some years later, and their presence threatens to sully the good name you’ve built up in their absence. Michael Henchard, hay trusser, has become the Mayor of Casterbridge, and gone tee-total in the process. Can Henchard escape the mistakes made in youth?

The Poisonwood Bible, Barbara Kingsolver The wife and daughters of evangelical Baptist Nathan Price tell the story of how the family is uprooted and moved from America, deep into the Belgian Congo at the end of the 1950s. This is not just the unravelling of a marriage but of a family and though it might sound all PAGE 58

doom and gloom, it’s also a bit of a comedy of errors as they struggle to cope with life in Africa.

On Chesil Beach, Ian McEwan It’s 1962 and newlyweds Edward and Florence are honeymooning at Chesil Beach in Dorset. They reflect on their differing backgrounds and upbringing and reveal insecurities, repression and regret ahead of their ill-fated wedding night. It’s so painfully English in a stiff-upper-lip kind of way and beautifully and tragically portrays this doomed couple at the beginning of their married life.

Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn They say there are two sides to every story but we begin with a single narrator, Nick Dunne and his version of events after his wife suddenly disappears. The fact that his beautiful wife Amy vanishes on their fifth wedding anniversary is even more poetic. And then the questions begin. Can Nick Dunne’s version of events be trusted? Was his wife afraid of him? This is a clever thriller that not only asks ‘whodunit?’ but also, ‘who done what?’

The Wife’s Tale, Lori Lansens It’s fair to say that fortysomething Mary Gooch is a comfort eater. She’s eaten her way through heartbreak and, on the eve of her 25th wedding anniversary, it looks like she’s going straight for the cookie dough once again.

When she receives a note from Jim to say he’s come into some money and is off to find what he wants, that’s when Mary Gooch becomes motivated. She sets off cross country to find her wayward husband, but more importantly, to recover what remains of the girl who’s buried within those acres of rolling flesh. You will love Mary Gooch and you will never want to leave her.

The extended reach offered by Chiltern View and superb glossy finish makes it a professional and affordable way to promote my business amongst the community. Good luck and all best wishes, you provide a valued service.
