Are all online estate agents the same?
Liyon Pereira, Director of Open House Croydon South says:
Interesting question. Just like the traditional high street agents you will find quite a few differences. Some will simply charge you an up-front fee to put the property onto the well-known online sites. Others will offer you a viewing service which they may charge extra for. The same applies to the sales progression, after your sale is agreed and you need to take it to completion. It’s always best to ask for exactly what the agent is offering and if the prices quoted include VAT and if there are any other fees. Finally, it may be worth checking some of the review sites to see if the agent is living up to their advertising.
Why choose Open House Croydon South? We believe we offer something better than the usual online experience. A personal service from start to finish that includes viewings seven days a week outside of office hours (7-8pm isn’t unusual) and full sales progression. We are proud to offer this at a no sale, no fee rate of 0.6% inclusive of VAT. If we don’t sell your house, you don’t pay us a penny. That’s a promise that most other agents can’t match. Why not give me a call and see if we can help you sell your house?

Hello Readers... Welcome to the June issue of The Link. I hope I’m not tempting fate, but it looks like this year’s very wet spring is finally over, and summer is here at last. Time to get out the sun-screen and barbeques, and enjoy the lovely long summer evenings.

Loneliness M
any older people go weeks or even months without one conversation. To help combat this widespread loneliness Age UK Surrey runs services and activities aimed at combatting loneliness among older people. One of these activities is ‘Tea and Chat’, our regular meetups that help older people get out socialising, exercising, playing games and testing their brainpower through quizzes. In one of our recent meetups in Lingfield we started off with an exercise class, followed by a quiz on the Royal Family (a way of marking the royal birth) and then onto the tea and chat.
The Link
The groups are an excellent way of connecting older people who might not be able to get out as much as they’d like. Ann, who has been coming to our Lingfield Tea and Chat group for years, told us that it has been ‘so nice to be able to make new friends’ in a relaxed and welcoming environment. If you or somebody you know would like to come along to a Tea and Chat group, we

plants in dry weather and mulch them. • Trees and shrub planted last year should be given a proper soaking.
As the weather improves, pest and weeds multiply at an alarming rate, so take the necessary precautions to control them. Listed below are some of the more important jobs for the month:
• Keep collecting and storing rainwater regularly.
Sowing Guide • Fill gaps in beds and borders with quick maturing annuals such as Candytuft, Clarkia, Cornflower and Virginia Stock.
• Tie in tall herbaceous plants such as Delphinium before the heavy blooms collapse.
• Prepare a seed bed for Biennials & sow Canterbury Bells, double Daisies, Forget-me-not, Sweet William & Wallflower for flowering next Spring.
• Regularly pinch out Cucumbers and Tomatoes
• Herbaceous perennials can also be raised from seed, to flower next year. • Sow short rows of Salad vegetables fortnightly, to maintain a succession of crops. Lettuce, early Peas, Radish, Salad Onions, Spinach, Beetroot and Turnips are ideal. • Crops such as Chicory, sprouting Broccoli and Oriental Greens should be sown now. Planting Tips • Complete planting of bedding displays without delay. Also, finish off, planting up tubs and basket displays using tender plants. • Tender vegetables such as Courgettes, Runner Beans, Sweet Corn and outdoor Tomatoes can be planted out, provided they have been hardened off. Demanding Care • Containers planted in April/May should be fed four weeks after planting. • Water hanging baskets and container plants daily, preferably early and late in the day. • Water all recently planted vegetable and bedding
14
Keeping in Trim • Tie in new shoots of climbers, while they are still pliable.
• Prune Deutzia, Philadelphus, Spirea Arguta, Spirea Vanhouttei, Syringa and Tamarix after flowering. Roses • Disbudding is important if you want to produce high quality blooms. The removal of the centre bud helps. • Some of the side shoots when pinched out, will preserve energy for the main flower bud. • Organic and in-organic feed will improve colour and productions. Bulbs • Drench Gladioli during dry weather • Lift overcrowded/deteriorating Spring bulbs and dry off in boxes. Fruit • You can multiply your stocks of Strawberry plants by inserting the runners into pots and sinking them in the ground. • Use netting to prevent birds from attacking soft fruit. • Straw/matting will prevent soft fruit from touching the soil. Lawns • Mow lawns regularly provided it is not too dry.

Ponds • Pull out blanketweed and overgrown floating plants and leave them by the water’s edge, allowing trapped creatures to get back into the water. • Pygmy Water-Lilies are ideal in small ponds. • Introduce new fish and feed more often. • Divide plants that have finished flowering. • Use a hose to blow away aphids on plants, and, do not use chemicals in or near ponds. Greenhouse • On hot days, have at least one vent in the roof open and dampen the floors to increase humidity. Shading will also help. • Hang yellow sticky traps to catch aphids, but do use netting over doorways to prevent inquisitive bees and other harmless insects from getting trapped.

Gems Of Austria A
ustria attracts many visitors, from global origins, constantly. From pretty alpine villages, through cities, boasting beautiful architecture, to stunning landscapes, with lakes, mountains, glaciers and so much more, there is something for everyone. Vienna is the capital city and home to Strauss, the renowned family that is famous for numerous musical scores, including muchloved and well-known waltzes. The Vienna Boys Choir has many followers, worldwide. Locating Mozart’s birthplace, cathedrals and a lot of other locations, including some of the world’s finest museums and art galleries, hold much interest. The high-quality wines, produced in Austria, many of which are multi award-winning, have become recognised for their distinctive, superb attributes. Domäne Baumgartner is currently reputed to be the largest wine estate in Austria. Having centuries of

experience and, now, combining tradition with innovation, Domäne Baumgartner produces outstanding wines. Indeed, Grüner Veltliner Rosenprinzessin (Rose Princess) is, truly, ‘Music in the Bottle’. This wine is ‘treated’ with/to music, having frequencies ‘encouraging’ the eventual outcome. The resulting wine is elegant and has a very good, full body. Taste the music – absolutely! Their ranges include classic, dry Grüner Veltliner wines, which are medium-bodied and full of character, through Zweigelt and Pinot Noir Grande Reserve productions, displaying most impressive fruit depths. All are great pairings with many dishes, complementing cuisine to an exceptional standard. www.weinbaumgartner.at Hauermandl is a family-owned winery in the Langenlois area. Several grape varieties are grown, including Riesling, Chardonnay, Muskateller, Pinot Noir, Zweigelt
and, of course, Grüner Veltliner. Their Steiner wine ranges include Grüner Veltliner Sommeliers and Privat Riede Neuberg. On, through Grüner Veltliner Riede Dechant Reserve, to others, that include Riesling Riede Steinhaus and Muskateller, to Zweigelt Reserve. These productions prove to be very popular. Each to their own, the Zweigelt is often selected to impress – and impress it certainly does! This production has many ‘devotees’ and is regularly chosen to grace numerous dining occasions. This red, fruited wine, is both delicate and elegant. The silk-red conveys throughout, from the appearance, through the bouquet, to the superb pleasures, on the mouth and palate, with a memorable finish. Wonderfully delicious. www.hauermandl.at As always, Enjoy! Trevor Langley

defined edge you are after. It is always a good idea to get rid of this small piece you are cutting out because it will have grass seeds on it etc., and if you flick it into the bed you will spread the weeds and grass into your bed.
Creating Your Garden Paradise article by Jonathan Bishop
Lawn Edgings
N
ow the growing season has kicked off, edging is very important. Why do we edge a lawn? Well there are a number of reasons for doing this: one is to give a nice crisp edge and define your lawn. It always looks tidier and managed even if the beds aren’t up to scratch. The other reason for doing it is to keep grass and weeds from spreading from your lawn and onto your bed and vice versa. The traditional way to edge your
22
lawn is using a half moon tool and cutting a sharp defined edge. If you have no edge currently and would like to create an edge, the best thing to do is to lay a hosepipe out or some string, and shape the beds the way you would like them to look. When you’re doing this you need to bear in mind that you don’t want to create areas which are difficult to mow. Using a half moon or even a spade, cut down an inch and a half, and try and get a wedge out to give you the
There are other options, which are normally done during the winter to make life easier. A lot of clients are putting in block paving or sets down as an edge to the lawn. This needs digging out, concreting in place and pointing. The advantage of this is that you don’t need to edge up so it saves some time and when you are mowing you can run the mower on the edge of the sets giving it a nice crisp finish. You can put in a metal edge but this is best done when you are building the garden and laying the turf. This is because it is difficult to lay where there are dips, etc., in the lawn and needs pegging into place properly. The lawn would need top dressing and seeding in these areas to make it nice and level so that the mower doesn’t catch any edges. The disadvantage of this type of edging

is that if you want a very sharp finish to the lawn, the mower has to go right to the edges and if the mower falls off the edge of the lawn the metal can damage it. If you have time, using edging sheers or small detachable strimmers can be used to edge up. It is better to edge the lawn before mowing it so that the mower can pick up the cuttings etc. Some people edge up and leave the cuttings where they are; this is fine but can make the garden look messy with dying grass lying next to the nice crisp edge, so a bit of time spent collecting the trimmings will give a better finish.
Whilst you are edging up, it gives you an opportunity to go around and look at your borders in detail. You can then see things which you would not normally notice from a distance, e.g. green fly on your roses, which you can then treat accordingly. So having time to check your beds is quite important and doing this whilst edging your lawn makes it more time efficient.

Keep an eye out for the Little Egret
A
s summer arrives, there’s nothing more delightful than spending time by the water. And if you’re lucky, the next time you visit a river or lake you may spot one of Surrey’s regular visiting waterbirds, the little egret. Only a few years ago, the arrival of this member of the heron family would have got birdwatchers all of a fluster. These days, it is a relatively common sight on our waterways and wetlands. Little egrets are spotted regularly all
26
across the county – wherever they can catch small fish, amphibians and water beetles. On land they will often be seen among grazing animals, picking up disturbed insects, and they will even tackle small reptiles, mammals and birds. Like grey herons they tend to gather in colonies, building a nest of sticks in a tree or shrub. They lay three to five pale blue-green eggs, which hatch after 20-25 days. The young are fed on the nest for 40-45 days, when they fledge and head off on their own.
The little egret stands 55-65cm tall with a wingspan of 70-85cm, while the more common grey heron can be over 1m high with neck outstretched. The little egret has startling white plumage, a black, sharply pointed spearlike bill, black legs and oddly yellow feet. One of its hunting techniques is to stand in water and wiggle its feet in the mud or sand. This startles prey into making a bid for safety – and the egret strikes. Maybe the surprising colour helps. Little egrets were once probably common in Britain, but by the 16th century they had been hunted nearly to extinction to satisfy the appetites of the time. Huge numbers appeared on the menu at banquets for archbishops and kings. They were also unfortunate to possess another attractive feature. In the breeding season they have two long white neck plumes, which were once highly sought after by the millinery trade. In the first months of 1885, 750,000

egret skins from all over Europe were sold in London. Eventually people realised there wasn’t an endless supply of these birds. This helped to prompt the establishment of the RSPB in 1889. In Britain the little egret became a rare vagrant from the 16th to the 20th century and was not recorded as breeding until 1996 (on Brownsea Island in Dorset). Now we have more than 1,000 pairs breeding in England and Wales – and hopefully soon in Surrey.

Joan says "I’ve set myself a challenge to photograph birds in flight, so a local wildlife exhibition provided a great opportunity to develop my skills. Although the kestrel was one of the smaller birds at the exhibition, I loved the colour of his feathers. The
background wasn’t very good so I decided to try and capture a headshot framed by the wings. It took a fair bit of patience and quite a few shots to capture him at just the right moment." 5th AGM & Awards During summer recess we meet informally each Tuesday evening in a local pub so why not come along for a chat?

Exercise for the over 60’s Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, with plenty of room on each side. With a 5lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you’ll find you can hold this position for a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10lb potato bags. Then try 50lb potato bags, and eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight out for more than a full minute. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag. *******
Teacher arrested at Heathrow A school teacher was arrested at Heathrow Airport this morning as he attempted to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a compass, a slide-rule and a calculator. At a press conference just before noon today, the Home Secretary said he believes the man is a member of the notorious AI Gebra movement. Although he did not identify the man, he confirmed he has been charged by the police with carrying weapons of maths instruction. "AI-Gebra is a problem for us", the Home Secretary said. "They derive solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in search of absolute values. They use secret code names like “x” and "y" and refer to themselves as "unknowns" but we have determined that they belong to a common denominator of the axis of medieval with coordinates in every country. As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say: 'There are 3 sides to every triangle.'" The Home Secretary went on to say "Teaching our children sentient thought processes and equipping them to solve problems is dangerous and puts our government at risk." The Link

Summer vibes
Shades on, it's time to enjoy the sunshine in Caterham. From cold brew coffee and cocktails to the ultimate festival fashion styles, Caterham Valley For You manager Sue McGeown reveals where to find some of our town's summer must-haves
W
hether you love getting out and about in the community or prefer to spend your summers relaxing at home in the garden with friends and family, there are so many ways for you to create summer vibes in Caterham Valley in the coming weeks. Among the main reasons to visit our town in June is, of course, the hugely popular Caterham Festival, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and hosting events across the area. On top of what The Miller Centre, Church Walk Shopping Centre and The Soper Hall are offering (from film evenings to World Cup bunting workshops via comedy nights and music events), there will also be Caterham Food Festival, Caterham Jazz and Blues Festival, Waller Pain hill climb and plenty more in the Valley. I love the sound of the family picnic in Timber Hill recreation ground on Sunday June 24, 1pm to 5pm, but you'll find more about all the exciting events taking place at caterhamfestival.org. Al fresco living If your idea of heaven is a laid-back evening in the garden, however, make sure to take a trip to see the uber-stylish furniture on offer at Moda on Godstone Road. From bar and balcony sets to sofa and dining combos, their rattan furniture is perfect for al fresco living and garden parties. To add some vibrancy to your new garden set (or perhaps to bring some summer indoors), pop in to see the lovely team at Floral Gallery on Station Avenue. It's nearly impossible to walk into their flower shop and leave without a smile on your face. As an added bonus, they are expecting to run their Lonely Bouquet initiative again this month (keep an eye on their Facebook page for updates). For the uninitiated, Floral Gallery place jam jars full of flowers around the town ready for people to take home or give to a friend. It's such a lovely idea. Away from nature for a second, there's a brand new addition to Caterham Valley. Shard Solutions could be

Time for you So, with your homes and gardens sorted, the next stop is surely making a little time for you.

With so many desirable designs in stock, this cool little boutique will have you effortlessly chic and ready to watch your favourite bands with an aperol spritz in hand in no time. Alternatively, with Dorothy Perkins, Clarks and Ratio all donning their summer wardrobes, don't forget to take a stroll through Church Walk Shopping Centre. And, if you are looking to fly off to somewhere exotic in search of sandy beaches and seafront cocktail bars, then you'll find TUI travel agents at Church Walk too. They always have fantastic sun-drenched deals floating around, whether you're looking for some family-fun with the kids or looking to get away from it all at a romantic retreat. Finally, with gorgeous gelato at Sweet and Savoury Waffle, ice cool drinks at Caffe Bambino, creative cocktails at Casa Lola and the latest concoctions (such as cold brew coffee or frostinos) from Costa, there are plenty of places to seek shelter when the thermometer in your home or office starts to peak. We hope to see you down in the valley soon,

Caterham Oxted & Godstone Lions Club District 105SE England Celebrating 100 years of Lions serving their communities
T
The Talking Newspaper was set up by Lions way back in 1981 and ten years later they set up recording studios in Soper Hall in Caterham. There, every Friday a group of volunteer readers and a sound engineer gather to record news items from local papers such as the Surrey Mirror, the East Grinstead Courier, the Croydon Advertiser and the local Tandridge Magazine – also produced by the Talking Newspaper.
The event had to be postponed earlier in the year due to the adverse weather but everything was just the same except that people commented on how much nicer it was to leave in daylight and not just as it was getting dark.
The voices of those reading the news items are familiar to those who are visually impaired, but behind the scenes there is a team of hard workers who read the newspapers, cut out suitable articles and paste them on to a board for the readers. They are then recorded in the studio on a Friday night and distributed to listeners.
he Club held its annual Talking Newspaper Party on 28th April at St Peter’s Church Hall in Limpsfield.
34
The party is an ideal opportunity for listeners, readers, editors and organisers to get together and have a nice afternoon tea of homemade sandwiches, savouries, cakes and biscuits, and the odd glass of wine or cup of tea. For the second year Sue Cope took to the stage and the grand piano to play and sing to the guests. Also present was the Chairman of Tandridge District Council, Councillor Gill Black who said a few words after the tea and before drawing the raffle. The weather was fine and it was felt that everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. photo: Chairman of Tandridge District Council Councillor Gill Black with Lion Club President Ian Macaulay

Although, I have to say, getting the technology to support rather than distract the presentation is something of a challenge!” Jeremy has already made available two volumes of Oral Histories though Hill and Valley Libraries. This latest presentation will be made available as a DVD later in the year, along with another which celebrates the work of the Caterham and District Horticultural Society. For more information on the history centre contact Liz Bonsall on 01883 340508 or, for the oral history project, Jeremy Webster on 07725 818629. In partnership with Caterham Hill Parish Council.
This year’s meeting will feature an audio-visual presentation: Caterham Talking: oral history past and present. Since 2012 Local Parish Councillor and History Centre Member Jeremy Webster has been gathering memories from local residents. He has now developed his work into a presentation which links the stories he has recorded with photographs and the written record to help place the memories into their historical context. For this presentation Jeremy has compiled nine stories covering Caterham characters and landmarks, interspersed with more intimate memories that have bubbled up during his conversations.
image below: Miss Christie’s story will feature in the presentation with previously unseen photos and unheard verbal testimony.
Jeremy says: “The more you talk to people the more interesting are the linkages and overlaps which become apparent. For instance, you get different but complementary views of the same incident or of a particular character. Or extraordinary stories of where lives have crossed paths with others creating ripple effects through time. That is why I have tried to develop the impact of people’s words by matching them with The Link

Why men shouldn’t write advice columns Dear John I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work, leaving my husband in the house watching TV. My car stalled, and then it broke down about a mile down the road, and I had to walk back to get my husband’s helps.
The Link For quotes call Grapevine Publications: 01684 833715
When I got home, I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbour’s wife! I am 32, my husband is 34, and we have been married for 10 years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted they had been having an affair for the past six months. He won’t go to counselling, and I’m afraid I am a wreck and need advice urgently. Can you please help? Sincerely Sheila
Dear Sheila A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors. I hope this helps, Regsards John

10 everyday items that are poisonous to cats and dogs article by Laura Harvey MRCVS
This month, vet Laura Harvey, looks at some commonly encountered pet poisons
U
nfortunately dogs and cats can be good at eating things they shouldn’t, particularly as some poisonous things can be rather tasty! Some of the most common ones we see in practice include: Chocolate - the darker the chocolate, the smaller the amount they need to eat. Symptoms include vomiting/diarrhoea, excitement, increased heart rate and seizures. Grapes/raisins/sultanas - one or two can be extremely harmful, leading to vomiting/diarrhoea, weakness and kidney failure. Pesticides - commonly rodenticides and slug pellets - rodenticides can cause bleeding and slug pellets can cause tremors, seizures and respiratory distress. Plants - including daffodil, tulip, hyacinth, rhododendron and acorns can all cause vomiting as well as more severe symptoms. Lilies are toxic to cats, quickly causing kidney failure. Xylitol - artificial sweetner, often found in chewing gum - This quickly drops blood glucose levels, causing weakness and seizures, as well as liver failure. Watch out if you see your dog chewing as you walk along the street!
Onion/garlic - inappetance, vomiting/diarrhoea, severe anaemia. Beware of bolognese! Permethrin - a common drug found in dog flea products that whilst at the recommended dose is safe for dogs, any dose is very toxic to cats, causing seizures and often death - please only use flea treatment as advised by your vet. Your medications - including: • Anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) eg: ibuprofen vomiting/diarrhoea, gastric ulceration, kidney failure. • Paracetamol - vomiting, weakness, breathing problems, accumulation of fluid under the skin, kidney and liver damage. • Vitamin D - vomiting/diarrhoea, increased drinking/urination, muscle spasm, convulsions, kidney and cardiac failure. These are just some of the most common poisons encountered in the home, however there are others. If you think your pet may have eaten something they shouldn’t, please contact your vet immediately, who will be able to advise you accordingly.
Household chemicals - dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid causing irritation in the mouth, increased drooling, vomiting, diarrhoea, ulceration of the oesophagus and stomach when ingested; eye and skin irritation is also possible. Antifreeze and other motor fluids - cats love the taste of it as it is very sweet but it causes kidney failure within 48 hours of ingesting it so please take care when topping up your car. It is also toxic to dogs. The Link
