Paul Cassidy BDS, DPDS Implant Surgeon

01342 325363 - 48 Moat Road, East Grinstead

BIG WELCOME TO IMPLANT SURGEON PAUL CASSIDY Andrew says, “ Dental implants have been a saviour for those patients with uncomfortable dentures and others that have lost teeth and are unable to chew properly. Modern materials are far more natural looking and numbing techniques virtually pain free. Paul has been a valuable addition both to the team here at Oakmead and also to the local community.

Patients no longer have to travel to implant clinics further afield because we also accept referrals from other local surgeries. His surgical expertise at Oakmead has also meant patients don’t have to join long waiting lists for wisdom tooth removal and other surgical procedures.”

Paul qualified from Queen’s University Belfast, and completed Postgraduate training in Oral Surgery and Sedation at The University of Bristol. He has worked in practices specializing in Implantology and Oral Surgery for 15 years, and has received training from leaders in Dental Implantology and bone-grafting. Implant treatments offered by Paul range from the replacement of a single missing tooth right through to fixed alternatives for denture wearers. On a more personal level, he is a keen musician and has played guitar in a number of bands, although it appears his music career is destined to remain purely amateur!

Fifty years of friendship This month, East Grinstead Twinning Association celebrates half a century of links with the French town of Bourg-de-Peage

By Caroline Hardy

F

ifty years ago this month, East Grinstead twinned with Bourg-dePeage, in France, beginning a long-lasting friendship between the two towns.

Over the years they were joined by Mindelheim in Germany, Sant Feliu de Guixols (Spain), Schwaz (Austria) and Verbania (Italy).

Now the group will be celebrating the half century of that first twinning with a weekend of celebrations in East Grinstead from July 22-25.

At the helm will be Ken Averill, chairman of the East Grinstead Town Twinning Association.

“We’re greatly looking forward to welcoming the delegations and youth groups,” he said. “We have a lot planned for our guests to help celebrate this special occasion.”

Ken, who has been part of the East Grinstead association for more than 40 years, says one of the main benefits of twinning has been the opportunity to make and maintain friendships between the towns.

“When we started in the 1960s, just going to France was a big event,” he added. “Some members have children who have carried on the tradition, continuing the bond between the towns.”

The first known twinning was in 1920. Today, there are more than 1,700 twinnings, emphasising the continued desire to broaden mutual understanding of cultural, recreational, educational and commercial activities between European countries.

The East Grinstead Association was formed in 1962, officially twinning with Bourg-de-Peage in 1966.

Ten years later, East Grinstead introduced an It’s a Knockout event, now known as Youth in Europe, held every year in turn in each of the six towns, with teams of youngsters from each town taking part.

Over the years, East Grinstead’s teams have involved more than 500 young people, with many more friendships formed through events including school and sports club exchanges and musical events.

Current activities include work experience for local students and e-communication between primary schools in the twin towns.

The theme for the youngsters this year is Conservation and the Environment and the East Grinstead celebrations include a visit to the Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst Place and a trip to London to investigate pollution.

A tree planting event will also take place at the Windmill Lane Community Garden, which the Town Mayor, Cllr Bob Mainstone, will be attending.

Also among the guests will be Nathalie Nieson, MP of Drome and Town Mayor of Bourg-de-Peage, a representative from the French Embassy and MEP Catherine Bearder.

The East Grinstead association has more than 100 members and a programme of social and fundraising events, including coffee mornings at East Grinstead Library every Saturday from 10.00am to 12.30pm.

Nothing to fret about How an East Grinstead woman turned her love of guitars into a successful business

By Caroline Hardy

M

any people growup playing an instrument as a hobby and Rosie Heydenrych was no exception.

However, she has taken her love of the guitar one stage further and now runs an exclusive, solo business making bespoke instruments that sell all over the UK and Europe.

Rosie, 31, launched the Turnstone Guitar Company just over a year ago from her Lingfield workshop where she makes high-end custom acoustic guitars from scratch Initially, Rosie, who has lived in East Grinstead for the past two years, studied business at university before moving into the charity sector in London.

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

“I had always played the guitar and while in London decided to take a weekly evening course in musical instrument making.

“It really gelled with me but after a year, I felt I needed something more challenging so I worked with an instructor learning about guitar restoration and repair.”

Rosie then took a part-time apprenticeship for two years before deciding just over a year ago to branch out and start her own company.

“It’s quite a reputation-based craft so I’m concentrating on getting my name known and building the best kind of guitars I can, something special that people can see,” she said.

RH Uncovered

@RHUncovered

This involves spending time at shows both in the UK and Europe. “It’s all about showing your face; guitar making is a competitive market.”

Rosie estimates there are about 30 to 40 high-end acoustic guitar makers in this country.

“Many people enjoy getting a hand-crafted guitar made for them,” she said. “They can get involved in the making process and choose different woods and features that suit them.”

Her commissions come mainly from the internet, forums and the shows she attends.

“My customers are varied but are mostly men aged between 30 and 70. Many have played for a long time and now want that special guitar.

“It is a serious hobby for many of them and there will be others who play in bands as either amateurs or professionals.”

 01342 718348

Rosie’s guitars start at £2,750 for a basic model, rising in accordance with what the customer wants.

After a year in business, she is now getting results. “I’m getting really good feedback and people seem to like what they’re seeing,” she said.

It takes Rosie about a month to make a guitar from scratch.

“A custom handcrafted guitar is something truly special. I spend hundreds of hours handcrafting each guitar to create a beautifully unique, tailored and responsive instrument.

“It’s a great feeling to see the finished result and sometimes I get to hear one of my guitars being played by the buyer. That is even more special.”

Do something incredible this year!

By Jacob White

One local charity would like to give you the opportunity to do something incredible this year – not only will it give you a great sense of achievement but will help an extremely worthy cause.

Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity based in Billingshurst is organising a walk on Saturday, September 17 to raise money for the charity’s work supporting babies and children with cerebral palsy.

The walk takes in the beautiful South Downs, starting at Arundel Castle before concluding at Devil’s Dyke, just outside of Brighton and is open to anyone who likes walking or a challenge.

The charity has organised an exclusive mystery prize draw for fundraisers who reach the £100 target.

Remembering the martyrs of East Grinstead A ceremony this month will mark 460 years since three people were burned at the stake in the High Street

By Caroline Hardy

L

ooking at East Grinstead’s picturesque, tree-lined High Street with its historic half-timbered buildings and lovely planted flowerbeds, it is difficult to imagine it ever looking any different.

However, more than four centuries ago the area was the scene of horror when three people were burned at the stake for their religious beliefs.

The three East Grinstead martyrs, as they were later known, were Ann Tree, also called Mother Tree, Thomas Dungate and John Foreman.

All had been tried and found guilty of one of the greatest crimes of the day – being Protestant and refusing to accept Catholicism. They were among more than 280 people killed by Queen Mary for their loyalty to the Protestant faith.

Martyrs graves

“There will also be a short ceremony and a celebration of our freedom and tolerance,” said town promotion manager Dawn Spalding.

“The event has also been marked by the placing of three trees – one for each martyr in one of the flowerbeds.

These have been adorned with friendship bracelets made by local schoolchildren to promote the themes of freedom and tolerance.”

Thirty-six of the martyrs of the Reformation came from Sussex. While most of them were burnt outside the Star Inn, in Lewes,

Sketch of the Martyrs graves

The 460th anniversary of the martyrdom is being marked this month with the unveiling of a plaque outside Broadley Brothers shop in the High Street, near where the rebels are believed to have died.

The ceremony will take place on Monday, July 18, from 7.00pm-8.00pm when the plaque will be unveiled by town mayor Bob Mainstone.

in June 1557, others lost their lives in Steyning, Chichester and Mayfield.

During her reign, which began in 1553, Mary Tudor launched one of the bloodiest persecutions ever known, prompted by the treatment handed out to her mother, Catherine of Aragon, who was divorced by Henry VIII, setting aside Mary’s right to the throne.

While many hid their Protestantism, Ann Tree and Thomas Dungate, who both came from West Hoathly, openly listened to a preacher from Plaw Hatch, near East Grinstead. Ann Tree refused to attend Latin Mass as she didn’t understand it.

In 1556, the pair were taken away and tried, along with fellow rebel John Foreman. Condemned to be burnt alive, the sentence was carried out within a few days, and as far as it is known, they are the only martyrs to meet their fate in East Grinstead.

Memorial stones to the three can be found at the entrance to St Swithun’s Church, a short walk from where they died.

However, the whereabouts of their remains has not been entirely verified. Some think that their charred ashes were found during road repairs several decades ago, while others believe their remains were interred in the consecrated ground at St Swithun’s.

Carnival atmosphere for the street and food fair

By Rachel Whitlam

K

atie Derham, star of BBC Radio 3 and BBC 2 Proms presenter, will be guest of honour at this year’s West Hoathly Street & Food Fair on Saturday, July 16. The Strictly Come Dancing Finalist of 2015 will also open the show at midday.

This year the Street Fair is taking on a Rio Carnival theme and stallholders are encouraged to decorate their stalls in Brazilian style and prizes will be awarded for the best fancy dress. The bi-annual event promises to be bigger and better than ever with numerous performers and a return of the popular Food Fair that was held in St Margaret’s Church for the first time two-years-ago.

The first Street Fair was held in 1982 and has continued every other year since. It is a great day out for the whole family with musicians and entertainers and plenty of atmospheric corners to relax with a drink from The Cat Pub and watch the world go by in this picturesque village.

Organised by St Margaret’s Church as a fund raiser for the Churches Building Fund, entry is free and activities will be taking place in the street around the church and Manor House, The Priest House and Village Hall. The 11th Century Church will be adorned with flowers and host 20 artisan producers with over 40 stalls lining the streets, run by individuals and local organisations and charities.

Bell ringing will kick-off the day at 11.30am, followed by the official opening event at 12.00pm and a historical Churchyard Tour at 12.30pm.

Throughout the afternoon, the carnival atmosphere will be livened up with ‘Steel Explosion’, a three-piece Steel Band, Greenwood Folk Band, who will bring a traditional feel to the proceeding with their toe-tapping folk numbers, and Margaret Watson will be performing harp recitals in the church. Boo Hiccup, children’s entertainer and comedy magician will amuse the children and adults alike. Finally, a Tea Dance will take place in the village hall so bring your dancing shoes or leave it to the folk with nimble feet and just sit back with a cup of tea and piece of cake.

Saturday, July 16 12.00pm – 5.00pm Parking – Playground of West Hoathly Primary School & Finche Field, Church Lane No vehicle access to ‘Queen’s Square’ area of West Hoathly during the event For details see: westhoathly.org.uk

Tuesday - Friday from 9am - 7pm • Free Entrance • Free Parking • Free Buffet Lunch For Groups of 10+ Reservations Necessary Due to high demand we have extended the tours until the end of September My name is Nick Palmer and I’m privileged to be the head gardener here at the London England Temple.

I have worked in Horticulture all my adult life having served as an apprentice at Brighton Parks and Gardens. I was even helping to train gardeners for them at the Sussex Parks Training Centre.

The gardens here at the Temple are some 28 acres excluding the buildings, and are a traditional English country garden with wonderful walks through the parkland. These walks vary from a small stroll around the Temple itself where we have traditional flower beds with spring and summer bedding displays to the magnificent Rhododendron walks which are breath taking when in flower in May. We have woodland walks that have Bluebells, Wood Anemones in, not to mention the trees, Oaks, Atlantic Ceders, Lime Trees, and Yew Trees the list goes on. Spring flowers include Daffodils, Tulips, and Forget-me-nots to name a few and if you know where to look little surprises like the Snake Head Fritillaries.

Because the garden houses the Temple it is a garden for quiet meditation, a place for prayer, a place to come and think through life’s challenges, a place to find peace and comfort. For this reason pets are not welcome here and we invite our visitors to respect the quiet space of others, also enjoying the garden and the peace and tranquillity found here. Families are always welcome and it is to be noted that uniting families is one of the main reasons for a temple.

A Marriage made in Heaven!

By Rachel Whitlam

M

any of you will have passed by the idyllic Heaven Farm on the outskirts of Danehill, possibly on route to Sheffield Park, but if you haven’t ever stopped in to have a proper look, perhaps now is the time. Set in one hundred acres of beautiful parkland, the farm is steeped in 600 years of farming history. The original Farm Homestead was built around 1830 during the height of a great depression that lasted over 30 years and the farm’s history is well documented back to 1387 when the present buildings were erected by a rich landowner as his Model Home Farm. The unusually well-preserved state of the farm captures a typical picture of Victorian life and little has changed in 175 years. A small museum on site demonstrates changes in farming, from the first farmer in 1930 through to his grandchildren’s generation in the 1950’s.

The current owner is John Butler, who has lived here with his family for over 50 years now. He spoke about his time at the farm.

“The farm was built by Colonel Davis and a lot of the same materials and timbers were used when the present farm was rebuilt. All the big estates had their own Home Farm including nearby Sheffield Park. It was a time when most gardens would have had a pig sty at the end with a pig that they would fatten up with scraps and

that was so here. The pork would have been used for the farms visitors and staff. Everything that was produced was used. Heaven Farm is unique because it’s complete. During the second world war a bomb dropped out in the park and you can still see the crater. There was also one that hit Danehill Village, which blew all the graves up. We didn’t have water on tap here until 1957 and water used to be saved from the Spring.

There was no electricity until 1960. Things were not always easy. For me, the catalyst was the hurricane of October 1987 when a lot of the roofs were damaged and trees were laid flat. We had no electricity for two weeks and the main road was closed for days. The bluebells were the ‘saviour of my woods’ as we used them as an attraction to the general public. That first year we opened to the public, we had 3000 visitors and gave them tea and biscuits in the barn!”

Things have come on a long way since that time and you can expect a little more than tea in the barn, yet the farm manages to retain its relaxed non-commercial atmosphere. The Stable Tearooms have been added and offer a range of food including afternoon tea and Sunday roasts whilst more recently, a Farm shop and Cart Lodge Antique and Collectables shop has opened. The many wandering fowl are always a hit with the children as are the antique tractors on display in the grounds.

One of the best features has to be the Nature Trail, which has featured many times on BBC TV and is set in an impressive Sussex ancient woodland. In Spring, the snow-white wood anemones are the first to blanket the floor, followed by a carpet of stunning bluebells.

Summer offers up glades of foxgloves dotted around the woods whilst the autumn leaves are particularly spectacular. Other items of interest include an ancient Roman ‘Bloomery’, a ‘Millennium’ waterwheel, as well as a 300-year-old dam, badger sets and fox earths. The Muntjac deer and wallabies are favourites with the visitors.

Mr Butler has had to keep up with the times and his latest innovative way to finance the upkeep of this historic farm is the introduction of ‘Weddings made in Heaven’. A complete package is offered with the marriage ceremony taking place by the lily pond overlooking rolling

HEALTH

Living with dementia

T

he term ‘dementia’ is used to describe the symptoms that occur when the brain is affected by specific diseases and conditions.

There are many different types of dementia, both inherited and non-inherited. The most common forms of dementia include Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontal lobe dementia and Lewy bodies.

People living with dementia can experience many different symptoms, including loss of memory, confusion, problems with speech and understanding.

These symptoms can differ from person to person depending on the type of dementia they have.

It is important to create a safe and supportive environment where people with dementia can live comfortably, maintain their independence and not feel restricted. As one of the symptoms of dementia can be confusion, it is a good idea to make everything easily recognisable. Colour contrasts are often a quick and effective way of helping areas stand out.

Surrounding a person with photos or images to trigger some of their favourite memories may also help them feel more comfortable. Reminiscence can be a great tool for therapy to help someone feel relaxed, safe and connected with the people around them.

Access to the outside space is also important as it provides the opportunity for exercise, fresh air, relieves tension and anxiety and offers personal space for reflection and privacy. Spending time outside in a garden has been shown to positively affect a person’s emotions and improve their sense of well-being.

If a person’s dementia means that they need specialist care or support and no longer wish to live independently in their own home, there are a lot of different care options available designed to meet their changing needs.

Care homes like Greenacres and Ridgemount in Banstead, for example, can provide specialist care for residents living with dementia.They have a range of distinguishing features such as additional staff with advanced dementia training and dementiafriendly design elements within the home.

RH Uncovered

Greenacres Home manager, Simanti Nadi says: “We have colleagues trained as dementia friends, including our support staff. This helps us to support the person and their symptoms as their needs continue to develop. We also hold the Forget Me Not Café on the 3rd Thursday of every month which is open to the public and allows people affected by dementia to socialise with the local community and specialists.

Our laughing yoga club and mindfulness sessions have been extremely popular activities which provide productive engagement of residents living well with dementia. It is important for us to offer a wide range of activities, and we use our customers’ life stories, likes and dislikes to help plan these.”

STYLE

Summer Beauty Sorted: DIY Tips & Tricks Summer is finally upon us – hoorah! But the sun, sea (and winter months spent covered up) can play havoc with our hair and skin, making them dry, dull and unhappy.

This month head to the kitchen to whip up some magical lotions and potions that will naturally feed your ailments and unleash your summer glow!

By Shelley Baker Refreshing facemask Rejuvenate, revive and revitalise your glow with the ingredient of the moment; the avocado! Instead of spreading it on your toast or making guacamole, mash half of this superfood with a tablespoon of olive oil and apply it to your face for twenty minutes.You’ll have moisturised skin in no time!

Soothing after-sun For the ultimate cooling and soothing after-sun lotion, raid your kitchen cupboards for 4 teaspoons of aloe vera, 4 teaspoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, 2 teaspoons of shea butter and 5 drops of lavender essential oil. Simply mix them together for a healing lotion that will reduce redness and that painful sunburn sting!

Dry hair repair Sunshine may be fantastic for our health, but sadly not for our tresses! Calming moisture needs to put back into hair – and this can easily be done with just three household ingredients! Combine an egg yolk, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and a tablespoon of honey and apply to damp hair, making sure to soak damaged ends. After 30 minutes, wash off to reveal shiny and luxurious locks!

COVER STORY

Loud and proud for Pride 2016!

Widely recognised as the biggest and most popular Pride event in the UK, the Brighton Pride Festival is a spectacular, fun event set in the city’s beautiful Preston Park fueled by pride, love and campaigning.

T

By Jacob White

he first contemporary Brighton Pride took place in 1992 and since 1996 the Pride Festival has been based at Preston Park this year, the event promises to be bigger and better than ever before!

On Saturday, August 6 the streets of Brighton and Hove will come alive as the city unites to celebrate Brighton Pride’s Carnival of Diversity with community groups, charities and performers coming together.

A day filled with world-class entertainment, community and celebrations – the word of the day is flamboyance! This year’s list of performers includes Carly Rae Jepson, Fleur East and Sister Sledge.

28

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

In the past three years alone, Pride has raised more than £210,000 for community good causes and this year there are hopes that previous records will be smashed with sights on the global Pride movement.

The theme for 2016 is Uniting Nations, a once in a lifetime opportunity to celebrate the global Pride movement and the worldwide LGBT community – Brighton will be embracing foreign flavours.

There will be sights and sounds from the salsa-laden São Paulo’s Brazil Pride, the stylish Berlin Pride of Germany and the exuberant Sydney Mardi Gras from Australia – three countries collide in one day!

RH Uncovered

@RHUncovered

From the star-studded main stage to the many dance areas to the Legends Cabaret Big Top, and from the Urban Dance Tent to the Pride Literature Live Tent there’s something for everyone!

Paul Kemp, director of Brighton Pride Community Interest Company, said: “Pride has evolved over the years with more communities coming together to celebrate every aspect of our city.’

“It’s important not to go back to themes that trivialise the important message behind the Pride celebration, but to continue to highlight the lives and struggles of people across the world.”

 01342 718348

Carly Rae Jepson The Canadian global superstar with more than one billion YouTube views and number one’s in more than 47 countries boasts two Grammy nominations will be strutting her stuff in the city!

Who can forget her addictive worldwide hit of 2012 – Call Me Maybe? Lip-syncing guaranteed!

Fleur East The X-Factor sensation and iTunes chart-topping star is coming to the city with her infectious and energetic performances – there’s every reason to call her the dancing queen of British pop!

Be ready to throw your arms wide open and get set to play that sax!

Sister Sledge The legendary Grammy nominated queens of disco have topped the global charts and amassed a string of gold and platinum records and performed alongside a galaxy of stars including Aretha Franklin!

Turning back the clock, be sure to get lost in music and dance like there’s no tomorrow!

Pride with a purpose

Along with the smiles and sunshine, Brighton Pride is about raising money and awareness. Through the Rainbow Fund Grant Awards, Brighton Pride supports local charities and community organisations.

Recent beneficiaries include Allsorts Youth Project who provide support for young people, MindOut who deliver pioneering work for people with mental health problems and Older and Out for older people.

Competition Time: We’ve teamed-up with Brighton Pride to offer you the chance to win a pair of tickets to the Pride Festival in Preston Park on Saturday, August 6.

HOMES

Everything has a place The phrase “A place for everything, and everything in its place” is never more apt than when thinking about unpacking after moving home. By following this simple motto you’re sure to improve your life and bring harmony to your living and storage spaces – it’s as easy as de-cluttering, re-arranging and organising; and the result is a warm, inviting and beautiful environment.

By Jacob White

B

efore you start the packing at your old home, begin the ‘de-clutter’ phase - get rid of anything you don’t need in your new home or, at least straight away.

From this starting point, you will minimise the amount of items you have to pack – there are a vast range of options available to you for this.

Self-storage is a practical way of safely and securely storing your belongings on a short-term basis. There are more than 970 facilities across the UK offering rented spaces secured by a tenant’s own lock and key – some offer boxes and locks for sale to safeguard their goods and may also offer van rental.

From self-storage companies, recycling and refuse companies, removal companies and domestic cleaners, there are an army of businesses out there who can help you organise your entire new home and in doing so eliminate stress and simplify your life – it’s time for a life laundry!

If some of your belongings cannot be donated, or sold then a reliable, efficient and environmentally-friendly solution is a recycling and refuse company. They’ll take your unwanted furniture and household goods – some will be re-cycled, and some may even be upcycled and given a new lease of life and a new home! With skip and waste bag hire readily available, you will be able to place your unwanted garden and household rubbish in tough and durable containers.

Domestic cleaners are an affordable and trustworthy choice when you’re on the move – they provide a hassle-free approach to carrying-out the chores which you might hate!

TOP TIP

30

For unpacking, move the boxes into the appropriate rooms and do an unboxing in each room that you intend for the items to go in. It’s at this point you can consider layout better – how large things like beds and tables will be organised in the room. It’s best to do this before the smaller items.

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

RH Uncovered

@RHUncovered

 01342 718348

TOP TIP Essential items to unpack first – Toilet paper, hand and body soap, shower curtain, bath towels, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, paper towels, rubbish bags, scissors, a change of clothes, vacuum, broom, dustpan and brush, pillows, bed sheets, and pet food and bowls.

Windows, carpets and any upholstery which you might (or might not be taking if you’ve been renting) can be spruced-up ahead of a move!

When you’ve decided what you’re taking with you, be sure to hire a good-quality removal company – there are a truckload out there and they can provide removal services locally, nationally and internationally and sometimes offer all-inclusive services such as packing and unpacking.

The unpacking guide, room by room: 1. Kitchen – Food, dishwashing supplies, drinking glasses, plates, pans, and anything else.

2. Bedroom – Make beds and organise wardrobes.

3. Bathroom – Remaining non-essential items.

4. Laundry room – Separate dirty clothes.

5. Home office (If you have one) – Set-up electrical equipment.

6. Dining room – Arrange the table and chairs.

7. Lounge – Make the family room fit for family with creature comforts.

8. The garage and storage spaces – The last on the list and ones which might take weeks!

GARDENS

Mediterranean Magic

By Pippa Greenwood

I

f you can’t get away this year, how about creating your own Mediterranean hotspot in your garden? Even if you do manage to escape to the sun for a week or two this year, you’ll still have the rest of the summer at home and a little slice of Italy, France or Greece outside your back door will bring happy memories flooding back.

The first thing to do is to choose the sunniest spot available – it’ll not only make sitting out there more enjoyable, but will also mean that you can install some serious sun-loving plants too.

Painting the nearby house, shed or garage wall with white masonry paint will help to create the right atmosphere.

At the same time it will help to reflect our sunlight – often a bit washed out compared to more southern climes - so providing a stronger light for the type of plants that appreciate it.

Mediterranean gardens often make full use of the walls and any other vertical surfaces, so put up hanging baskets, pots and wall baskets and cram them full of plants.

Plants in pots are a must and if possible choose stone or terracotta containers.

If you want to make brand new pots look more weathered

try painting them with a solution of plain yoghurt as this will help to encourage rapid colonisation by mosses, algae and lichens.

Any new hard landscaping such as wall, paths or patios and terraced surfaces will look best in natural stone and there are now also terracotta tiles available for use in the garden.

Terracotta tiles can also have a storage-heater effect too – after a long, hot day they will have absorbed heat and this will then be released gradually in the evening.

Add interest to a vertical surface by planting a vine. They have attractive leaves and there are plenty to choose from that will fruit well in our climate.

You may not be able to create your own vintage but the vines will look particularly authentic when draped with a few bunches of grapes.

Glazed tiles, wall-hangings and the odd ornament or two can also add to the Mediterranean look, but make sure you choose items that won’t be instantly bleached by the sun.

Try growing your own oranges or lemons. With our generally milder winters some gardeners are even managing to keep these plants outside all year round with only the

minimum of protection.

Growing your citrus tree in a good-sized terracotta pot means that you can move it into a more protected spot if necessary.

With their wonderful silvery grey leaves and their often rather untidy or gnarled shape, olives too are a plant well worth considering.

Olives are best grown in a large container unless you have a warm garden and a very well-drained soil as they hate winter wet.

Some plants just spell out Mediterranean Magic – try geraniums and pelargoniums, aeoniums and sempervivums, rosemary, thyme, oregano and pretty well anything with silvery foliage.

Go for the brightest coloured flowers and your new holiday destination will also benefit from a subtle Mediterranean aroma too.

CHILDREN

Furever Friends: How Your Pet Improves Your Child’s Development

By Shelley Baker

W

e’ve all heard the saying; “a dog is man’s best friend”, but in fact it seems that they, along with other pets such as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters, form meaningful and firm friendships with our children, that can be completely life-enhancing.

As we ‘Aah’ (and reach for the camera!) while they play or take naps together, their cute bond has a deeper, positive effect on their emotional, social and physical wellbeing.

Emotional Benefits As a 14-year-old, Michael Jackson sang about his pet rat, Ben; “With a friend to call my own, I’ll never be alone, and you, my friend, will see, you’ve got a friend in me.” Family pets provide our children with a genuinely meaningful friendship that stands the test of time. Recently, a study from the University of Warwick found that 85% of children thought of their pet as a friend.

It also found that 40% of those asked would seek out their pet if they felt upset.

This could be because they can turn to their furry friend, without fear of being judged or their problems being repeated, the Pet Health Council say.

48

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

“Children often find them easier to relate to (the world of grown-ups is often quite confusing!) They know that animals will not judge them, will not ‘break friends’ with them, and will not tell tales,” they explain.

Social Development Don’t be worried if you think your child is shunning other forms of friendships in favour of talking to your pet. The chances are that your pet has helped them to connect with others! Children are more likely to approach and get involved with another, if they are playing with an animal as it bridges the socially awkward gap and shifts the focus from them.

The American Center for Research explored the link between companion animals and childhood anxiety (which can significantly hinder social experiences) and found that it can be eased. The study saw lower blood pressure measures, lower heart rates and reduced behavioural distress. With anxiety now affecting 290,000 children and young people in the UK (according to mental health charity Young Minds), a pet could play a powerful part in combatting the impact it has on your child.

Physical Improvements As well as the obvious exercise benefits of walking or playing with pets, there are plenty of other reasons that they improve physical health. From hand-eye coordination (which can happen when your child scoops food into feeding bowls, for example) to reducing the risk of allergies, your pet may be helping your child’s physical development more than you think.

The Medical College of Georgia in America found that having pets decreases a child’s risk of developing certain allergies such as hay fever and house dust mites by 75%.

The theorist behind the study believes this is because animals can transfer bacteria and in the process, builds a child’s immune system.

LEISURE

Walking locally – Step out for summer What better way is there to enjoy the summer than the great outdoors? In Surrey and Sussex we’re incredibly lucky to have some stunning strolls and wonderful walks – let’s get out and get fit!

By Jacob White Walking is free and simple, as well as being one of the easiest ways to get more active, lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle. The advantages of walking range from helping to improve both your physical and mental health, and by walking you can save money, as well as the environment.

So, whatever your ability, step out for summer this year and explore the best of the countryside on your doorstep – a chance to see more of the scenery which we all too often overlook. Get those wellies, trainers or walking boots (don’t forget, they were made for walking!) on and walk locally!

To find a list of the best walks across Surrey and Sussex, why not visit your local council website for routes and further information such as public rights of way: East Sussex - www.eastsussex.gov.uk/leisureandtourism/countryside/walks West Sussex - www.westsussex.gov.uk/leisure-recreation-and-community Surrey - www.surreycc.gov.uk/environment-housing-and-planning/countryside

Do something incredible this year!

By Jacob White

One local charity would like to give you the opportunity to do something incredible this year – not only will it give you a great sense of achievement but will help an extremely worthy cause.

Dame Vera Lynn Children’s Charity based in Billingshurst is organising a walk on Saturday, September 17 to raise money for the charity’s work supporting babies and children with cerebral palsy.

There will be two sponsored walk distances – one of 35km (taking around

8 – 9 hours) and one of 12km (taking around 2 – 3 hours) – so the choice is yours as to which is most suitable.

The walk takes in the beautiful South Downs, starting at Arundel Castle before concluding at Devil’s Dyke, just outside of Brighton and is open to anyone who likes walking or a challenge.

The charity has organised an exclusive mystery prize draw for fundraisers who reach the £100 target.

For more information about the event, visit: www.dvlcc.org.uk/events/16/arundel-to-brighton-walk/ 50

MOTORING

European Driving Tips

By Ben Morley

T

he summer holidays are on their way and with many choosing to jump in their cars and drive rather than fly, here’s some top tips to help you on your way: Map reading is a dying art these days, thanks to sat navs and mobile phone apps. but it’s a good idea to have a detailed map stashed in the car.

If you’re taking children and they are 12-yearsold or younger, or 135cm in height they’ll need to be sitting in a suitable child seat.

Don’t forget your driving licence, if you get pulled over abroad, the police will want to see it - you’ll also need it if you plan to hire a car.

In France, you are legally required to carry your own breathalyser (probably a good idea if you’re going near one of France’s wine regions!)

Do your research and learn the road rules for an area that you are travelling through.

Also, remember that the road signs are all in metric, and as such the speed limit is displayed in KMPH, not MPH. If you look after your car, it’ll look after you, so get it serviced before you depart as it’ll give you the peace of mind before you set-off.

It’s also worth making sure your breakdown cover extends to Europe. If not, it’ll save you a lot of grief should your car let you down.

Call your insurance company - most cover you for a trip to Europe, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

It is the law that you carry a spare bulb kit in France, so make sure you’ve got one of those.

You’ll also need a hi-vis jacket and a warning triangle.

It’s good practice to make sure you have an inflated spare wheel (not all cars have them these days) and a jack.

If not a spare, at the very least, a can of tyre sealant and accompanying tyre pump, these might just get you out of trouble.

PET CARE

Summer Pests The Unwelcome Houseguest!

Always Wagging Pet Care Services

Summer is a time for entertaining, but some houseguests are never welcome – we’re talking fleas!

By Jacob White Pets can catch fleas from just about anywhere including already infested areas or other animals.

They leap onto them and feed on their blood, and within 24 hours they can lay up to 200 eggs a day.

 Dog Training  Dog Walking  Dog Boarding  Animal Sitting  House Sitting  Horse Care  Pet Taxi Service

They won’t all hatch on your pet either, after 2 - 3 weeks some will hatch on your sofa or carpets, in your pet’s bed or in your garden, and the cycle starts again!

What are the signs my pet has fleas?

You may see one on your pet – if you do, there will be more!

There might be dark coloured specks in their coat when you groom – these may be flea droppings Scratching or itching needs investigation Bald patches are another sign (though other conditions can cause this too) Flea bites on family members

www.alwayswagging.co.uk

ATTENTION DOG OWNERS FEED YOUR DOG THE DIET THEY DESERVE MAKE THE SWITCH TO A 100% RAW DIET AND SEE THE DIFFERENCE !!

Pop into your LOCAL raw dog food suppliers for a warm welcome at Bruno’s Dinner, Broadbridge Lane, Smallfield, RH6 9RF Collection or delivery

If you suspect a flea problem, then a visit to the vet is always a good idea - they’ll be able to prescribe the correct treatment for your pet and also help with products to treat your home.

54

www.brunosdinner.co.uk

A two-pronged approach is vital to stopping the hatching cycle. Treat all of your cats and dogs and your home, otherwise, if they have eggs, these will still hatch and will start the cycle over again!

Dog Walking - Cat Sitting - Small Pet Care Pet Taxi - Dog Boarding - Day Care

It’s important to keep up the treatment on a regular basis as a preventative measure, or you may get more unwelcome houseguests than you bargained for this summer!

Chestnut Tree is the children’s hospice service for East Sussex. Each year we look after hundreds of local children with life-shortening conditions and their families. Our care really is invaluable to the families we look after and we make no charge for this care.

Without volunteers, we simply would not be able to continue offering our care services, and we would like to thank each and every one of our volunteers who give us the gift of their time. But of course, we are always looking for more people who can help us.

Here in East Sussex there are many opportunities to volunteer – with fundraising activities, in the charity’s Eastbourne office, at one of our events, or in one of our retail shops - there is something to suit everybody.

Alex Charles-Weston, 26, has been volunteering for Chestnut Tree for over two years, “I tend to volunteer around once a month; sometimes it can be more but sometimes less. I choose what events I do, what days I do, how long I want to stay, it really is very flexible.” Alex commented “The thing I enjoy most about volunteering is meeting the regular volunteers and staff, you become like a little family really, have a laugh and have fun, and all the time you know that you are giving something back.

Initially I thought I would just try it to see what it was like, but I enjoyed it so much that I decided to carry on.

I would definitely recommend volunteering.”

If you feel you can spare just a bit of your time we ask you to please put your Hands Up! and contact us on 01323 725095 or handsup@chestnut-tree-house.org.uk.

Help us care for the children and families in East Sussex who need us, giving them the chance to live life to the full – for as much time as they have together.
