Why I Love England A series of cameos on the theme of “Why I love England” through the eyes of a Swedish-born resident of Hythe observing the life and times of the town.
By Margaretha Kirkham
A little white chrysanthemum. It is funny how things follow you about. When I picked up my trolley from the rank at the supermarket this single, little white flower was just lying there smiling at me. It had obviously fallen off someone else’s bunch. I just couldn’t throw it away. As I filled my trolley I kept moving it to safety. Getting to the check-out I forgot about it and started packing the purchases away in my bags. Towards the end the jam-jar with the black lid slid up. On top of it was the chrysanthemum looking happy and smiling, so was I and the check-out lady, too. It has faded now lying on my desk next to the laptop.

Seasonal Recipe Asparagus Frittata
Serves 4-6
Ingredients
Preperation time 10 minutes
• 275g new potatoes
Cooking time 20 minutes
For those who’ve only ever considered asparagus as a luxurious accompaniment to a main course, it’s time to think again. This delicious recipe is simple to cook and the mild flavours of the mozzarella and eggs mean that the asparagus is still the star of the dish.
• 450g asparagus • 5 large eggs • 200g buffalo mozzarella • 50g Parmesan, grated • 2 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley • 2 tbsp olive oil • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method 1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/gas mark 6. Making sure the potatoes are clean first, boil them in salted water. 2. Trim the asparagus, then cut the stems into 1cm slices leaving the spear as a piece about 8cm long. Add this all to the potato pan for the last 5 minutes of the cooking time. 3. Drain everything and refresh in cold water. Thickly slice the potato. 4. Whisk together the eggs really well. Dice the mozzarella and add to the eggs along with 40g of the Parmesan, the parsley, potatoes and slices of asparagus. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Stir everything to coat with the egg. Lastly, gently stir through the spears. 5. Heat a 22cm diameter oven-proof deep frying pan along with the olive oil over a medium heat. Non-stick would be great, otherwise one which is naturally seasoned. 6. Pour in the egg mixture making sure some of the spears are sitting at the top. Leave to cook for around 10 minutes until the edges are starting to firm up. 7. Sprinkle over the last 10g of Parmesan and slide the frying pan in to the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the frittata is golden and firm. 8. Serve straight from the pan with a crisp green salad.

The SureSlim® Quick Loss Eating Plan Now a permanent weight loss programme that really works! SureSlim’s newest Wellness Clinic has just opened in The Centre, Bakery Mews, Hythe. Drawing on her own experiences, owner Nicole has proven the success of the Eating Plan by losing over 40lbs, having failed over many many years to lose weight on a range of conventional diets. She is now determined to help and support others who want to achieve similar dramatic weight losses and feel fantastic. The SureSlim Quick Loss Programme has been helping people of all ages, genders, shapes and sizes to lose weight and improve their health since 1996. SureSlim specialise in providing weight loss programmes that address each person’s unique biology. There is no need for group therapy and no need for drugs, magic shakes or starvation diets; just confidential personal programmes to produce optimum weight loss whilst rebalancing the metabolism. Uniquely, each weight loss plan is specifically tailored to the individual’s lifestyle, medical history and the results of a comprehensive blood test. The Hythe Clinic will support clients personally every step of the way to ensure their success is guaranteed.
The average weight loss for SureSlim client’s can be around 10 pounds a month, with men generally losing quicker. As the Eating Plan works, it actually makes you feel good and although the inch loss can be incredible, perhaps the greatest result is the way it helps people to become healthier. Men and women, from all kinds of medical and lifestyle backgrounds have come to a SureSlim Wellness Clinic and many have seen their cholesterol and/ or their glucose levels fall dramatically in response. Now that really is a result worth talking about! Once clients reach their goal weight, they easily maintain it on their SureSlim LifeStyle Plan Information packs are available and regular free information sessions are held at the Hythe SureSlim clinic.

WILL MARDLE
R E N E WA B L E E N E R G Y We are a small family run business. If you have an oil boiler which needs changing why not fit a ‘Air Source Heat Pump’ instead it will reduce energy cost and CO2 emissions by up-to 50%. You may also be eligable for a £850 grant. You can save more money by fitting a Solar Thermal Evacuated Tubes, which would provide around 60-75 % of your Hot Water needs a year, and you would be given a Grant of £300. With Gas and Oil going up weekly, it would be daft not to consider it! We also can help with any plumbing problems and fit bathroom suites including all the tiling.

P33
Why Making A Will Is Not Enough Having always stressed how important it is to make a Will, we must also recognise that a Will has many limitations. Many people who have made a Will have had simple mirror Wills done, leaving ‘everything to each other and then to the children’. Having simple Wills drafted fails to provide any flexibility for a change of circumstances in the future and can lead to a significant loss of assets. Your estate could be significantly diminished prior to your death without effective planning and lawyers could become the major beneficiary when you are no longer around. For many of us there may come a time when we are unable to manage our finances, claim benefits or pay bills.
If you want to keep your assets safe for your family, it is important to make sure that you have put as much protection in place as possible while you are still able to do so. This will not happen without you being proactive. It is your decision to make. Do you want what you have now to still be in place on the day of your death or are you happy with the thought that perhaps all that will be left is a tiny portion?

This may be particularly important if we are in hospital for any length of time, are unable to get out and about, or are becoming confused. Losing the ability to manage our own affairs is not restricted to later life. A bang on the head in an accident, a stroke or other illness could mean that we suddenly lose the ability to make decisions or act for ourselves. Unless you have appointed someone to help you, if you lose the ability to make decisions for yourself a special court called the Court of Protection will appoint someone. If a family member or trusted friend wishes to act in this capacity, they will have to apply to the court and be subject to their scrutiny and decisions. This is a costly & time consuming process. You will have no control over who is appointed to make decisions for you. P34

Wonderful Windows by Katherine Sorrell “They keep in the warmth and keep out prying eyes, but window treatments are much more than a purely practical addition to a room.” says Katherine Sorrell. are often found on ready-made curtains, though they can be fiddly to draw. Curtains can also be hung from a deep hem which is simply slid over a pole, from large eyelets punched in the top (this looks great hung from a tension wire), from clips (magnetic ones are easy to use) or even just from hooks.
A simple roller blind can make a pretty addition to any room. Boho Chic roller blind, from The Fabric Box (0844 8118280; www. thefabricbox.co.uk). Prices from £66.
Curtains – where to start The cheapest and most subtle option for hanging curtains is undoubtedly a plastic or metal track. Double tracks can be used to hang both nets and thicker curtains neatly, while triple tracks allow you to use flat panels, perhaps of different fabrics, which can be pulled back and forwards in different combinations depending on the effect you want or how much light you wish to allow in. The more decorative alternative is a curtain pole – perhaps in see-through acrylic, slender stainless steel or pale-painted wood – and with pretty finials on the ends. On narrow windows or dormers, portiere (or swing-arm) rods are an alternative to fixed poles, while P36
for a modern effect you could use tension wire, fixed taut within the window opening.
Curtains – fabric and style Whether you prefer minimal panels or swathes of fabric, it is best to take into account the architecture and size of the room, and of the windows, before opting for a particular curtain style. Grander curtains tend to suit larger, period rooms, while simple curtains are often best suited to modern properties. The way in which a curtain hangs is determined by its heading, usually created by a tape which is sewn onto the back of the curtain and pulled to form gentle gathers, smart pleats or a variety of other shapes. For a less formal look, however, there are plenty of alternatives. Tab- and tie-tops
Curtains can be made from practically any fabric, depending on your budget. The heavier the fabric, the better it will hold a fold, though very heavy fabrics will be too bulky for smaller windows. Very light fabrics will tend to look floppy unless supported by a lining. Lining is, in fact, always a good idea, as it will not only help the fabric hang neatly, but also protect it from fading, dirt and condensation. Thermal linings help retain heat, and can be as effective as double glazing, while blackout lining also blocks out light and some noise.
Blinds Once considered something of a poor cousin to curtains, blinds are increasingly fashionable, offering a clean-lined look that is sophisticated and laid-back yet still pleasingly tactile. What’s more, they tend to be far cheaper, as they require much less fabric – just the size of the window opening, plus hems. There are different options to suit different styles of room, many of them easy to make yourself or inexpensive to buy off-the-shelf. A roller blind in a neutral colour will blend into the background in a modern, minimal space, or could be used in conjunction with ‘dress’ curtains (fixed either side of the window) in a more

formal room. Roman blinds pull up in lovely soft folds that give an attractive drape without going over the top, while fabric roll-up blinds which, literally, roll up from the bottom and tie in position, show off their reverse, thus offering an attractive combination of two fabrics. When choosing fabrics, mid-weight, not-too-textured fabrics tend to be best for blinds, which need to roll or fold easily against themselves.
Shutters They may not be the obvious choice, and they are almost always more expensive than blinds or simple curtains, but shutters are good-looking in an unfussy kind of way and suit both old and new properties. They’re also great for privacy, for blocking out sound and light and adding an extra layer
of security. Depending on the configuration of your window, shutters can be made as a single pair, bi-fold, tri-fold or whatever will fit, either fulllength, half-height (café style), or tier-on-tier, rectangular, tapering or arched in shape, and either set within the reveal or folding back against the wall. The plainest, period-type shutters have a timber frame and a solid centre panel – they can be painted any colour and complement a Georgian or Victorian home extremely well. American shutters have louvres that tilt up and down, offering privacy but also letting in light. Alternatively, for a highly contemporary effect, it’s possible to have shutters made from sleek aluminium or funky acrylic, which comes in a range of gorgeous colours.
The secret of this Ninni Rund pair of ready made curtains from Ikea (0845 358 3363; ikea.co.uk), £49.99, is that they have both hidden tabs and a gathering tape at the top.

Lawns by Pippa Greenwood by soil type, frequency of irrigation or rainfall, frequency of mowing and whether clippings are left on the lawn.
A lawn is an essential part of most gardens, but how can you make sure yours looks good? Feeding a lawn is essential to ensure it looks lush and green. A poorly maintained and inadequately fed lawn is far more likely to be invaded by moss, weeds and is prone to disease. Choose a lawn fertilizer formulated for the specific needs of the grass at this time of year; nitrogen is constantly being removed by mowing so it needs to be replaced. Phosphorus, potassium and iron also help to promote and maintain top quality growth. The precise amount of fertilizer that your lawn requires is determined
If you’re happy using chemicals on a weed problem, it’s easiest to use a product containing both weed killers and a fertilizer. Applying these together ensures rapid grass growth to fill in the gaps left by the dead weeds. If you have time, there is a marginally better effect if you feed the lawn with the spring feed then wait two weeks before applying the weed killer. Small infestations of weeds can be removed effectively by hand. A proprietary moss killer should take care of moss, but follow the instructions carefully to ensure that they have been thoroughly killed before you attempt to rake them out. If living moss is raked out the problem becomes worse. Once you have raked the dead moss out, the overall effect of all the bare patches may make you despair, but if you keep the lawn well fed (and over-seed if necessary) it will soon green up. Regular mowing is essential. A lawn left for too long will soon lose its good appearance and when finally cut, you may wonder if it will ever look right again. If cut frequently, so that only small amounts of grass are
removed at any one time, it should grow dense and green - try to remove up to 30% of the grass growth at a single mowing. When the weather starts to warm up, the frequency of cut will be noticeably greater. However, if the weather is dry and the lawn isn’t well watered, growth rate will be correspondingly slow. If the grass is to be well walked on or used as a playing surface then the cut should be kept to ¾-1 inch. If you want a show lawn that isn’t subjected to pounding feet, then keep the grass to ¼ inch but remember that during summer you will need to use the mower several times a week! What about mowers? The one you choose will probably be determined by cost as well as the job it can do. If you have a level, fairly high-quality lawn then a cylinder mower is best. If the surface of your lawn is the slightest bit uneven, then a rotary mower is a better choice as it will cope much better in ‘adverse’ situations. If you remove a fair amount of grass at each cut then the clippings should be raked up immediately. However, if you produce only tiny clippings then during dry weather you can leave them on the lawn to help conserve soil moisture.
