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!

Will you ﬁnd a ‘lonely bouquet’? Each week, Ashurst Wood florist Jenna Ball gives away flowers to make someone’s day

By Caroline Hardy

f you happen to be in the East Grinstead area and see a pretty bunch of flowers, maybe on a park bench, a wall or under a tree, the chances are it will be a ‘lonely bouquet’. The blooms will have been placed there, along with a message explaining that they are for whoever finds them, by Ashurst Wood florist Jenna Ball. She leaves one bouquet in a random place each week for a passer-by to pick up and take home. “There are not enough nice things happening in the world and sometimes I have quite a lot of flowers left over so I thought I would give some away,” Jenna, 28, says. “I’ve had some lovely messages from people who have found them. If it helps someone who’s maybe had a bad day or is going through a rough time and puts a smile on

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

their face then that’s what it’s all about.” Jenna started her floristry business, Ivy Florence, in July last year. She named it after her great-grandmother who taught all the women in her family about flowers. “My grandmother was also florist and all the women in my family are keen gardeners with extensive flower knowledge,” Jenna says. Previously, Jenna had been in the exhibitions industry for more than seven years. “It was a completely different world. I enjoyed it but it got to the point where I was away a lot of the time and wanted to be nearer home.’ “Also before I hit 30, I wanted to work in something I really enjoyed. I’d always done floristry as a hobby so decided that would be it. “It was a massive risk to leave my job but I received a lot of support, and my bosses said I should go for it – now they order flowers from me!” Jenna launched Ivy Florence from an eye-catching, vintage camper van but as the business grew, she moved it to her grandmother’s house. “My grandmother has been

a huge inspiration. Her garden is immaculate to the point where she trims the lawn with scissors!” Jenna laughs. Much of her work comes from social media as well as online and word-of-mouth. “ I don’t have a high street shop and don’t plan to as I want to keep it a one-woman business.” To that end, later this summer, she plans to move into a workshop in the East Grinstead area. Most of Jenna’s work involves providing everyday bouquets, ﬂowers for weddings and funerals, arrangements and for special events. Her natural designs have proved popular. “People like my style. I would describe it as rustic, country chic and ‘just picked’ rather than traditionally structured.” Ivy Florence is open Thursdays to Saturdays.

Sackville College celebrates its most famous warden – 150 years on! By Rachel Whitlam

ot many people have heard of John Mason Neale, the most famous Warden of Sackville College, but most people know the traditional Christmas carol penned by him, Good King Wenceslas. The hymn was first published, during his time at the College in 1853, amongst many other articles, hymns and carols and was written from the desk in his study, overlooking the Ashdown Forest. He also wrote ‘Good Christian Men Rejoice’ and ‘O come, O Come Emanuel’. Anyone visiting the College on a tour can visit this very atmospheric room and imagine the brooding dense forest that lay beyond the window 150 years ago. Sackville College has been an alms-house since it was first founded by Robert Sackville in 1609 and is one of the ‘must see’ places of historical interest in East Grinstead. John Mason Neale first came to Sackville as a Warden in 1846, aged 28 with his wife, young daughter and baby son. The son of a clergyman, he was ordained in 1841 and initially was the Vicar of Crawley before coming to Sackville. He was an energetic and caring Warden, and it was at his instigation that an infirmary room was set up next to the Chapel so that sick residents could still hear the service without actually having to attend.

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

He founded the Society of St Margaret’s in 1854, which was a sisterhood of nuns who went out and attended to the poor of East Grinstead. They would operate in very tough conditions and set up a soup kitchen for the poor in the town. This was quickly added to with a school and orphanage and the Society spread with autonomous houses in Scotland, the East End of London, Walsingham, and eventually the USA and Sri Lanka.

Each week he would invite all residents to Sunday lunch in the dining hall to ensure they all ate at least one good meal a week. During his time as Warden, he also restored the Hall, Chapel, Well House and pensioner’s rooms.

His last public act was to lay the foundation of a new convent for the Sisters on St Margaret’s day but his health failed him, and he died, probably of consumption, aged only 48, leaving his wife and 5 children. John Mason Neale is buried close by in the grounds of St Swithun’s Church and there is a window dedicated to him in the church.

Mason Neale was ‘High Church’ in his sympathies and supported the ‘Oxford Movement’ and in an era when many Anglicans were suspicious of Roman Catholicism, some people suspected him of being a supporter of the Vatican. As a result, he endured several bouts of opposition in his lifetime and was on occasion subjected to mob violence with unruly crowds threatening to stone him or burn down his quarters in the College. On one such occasion, his wife bravely managed to persuade the angry group to change their minds.

It was acceptable in the 80’s –

Memories from a Market Town 30 years on.

Part 1 By Rachel Whitlam

t’s 30 years since the summer of 1986 when I was preparing to take my O’ Levels in Croydon, partying as hard as a 15-year-old can, topping up my pocket money by working in a shoe shop so that I could buy the latest release by The Pet Shop Boys at Beano’s Record Store – all this in the shadow of the recent Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Since moving to East Grinstead, I have heard many born and bred Grinsteadians reminisce about their ‘old haunts’ and I am intrigued to revisit some of their memories. So let’s begin by setting the scene and casting your mind back to the year that was 1986; • Madonna releases ‘True Blue’, which turned out to be the top selling album of 1986. • The Independent was launched in London. • Estate agent Suzy Lamplugh vanishes after arranging to meet the mysterious ‘Mr Kipper’. So what was happening in the market town of East Grinstead? According to the BBC Domesday project, there were four pubs on the High Street, a Sunday roast was £4.95, cod and chips was on offer at the remarkable price of £1.20 and the Dorset Arms was selling Steak dinners for £6.50. The good folks of East Grinstead were worrying about the future fusion with Crawley (some things don’t change!) and people were excited about the reopening of the Bluebell Railway line from Horsted Keynes to East Grinstead. According to the Domesday site for the year, it proclaims that ‘East Grinstead is not generally troubled by the industrial & social problems of other parts of the country’. Co-founder of RH19 Uncovered, Nikki RelffeArnold, shared some of her memories of East Grinstead, during the 1980’s. “THE pub to be seen in was the White Lion, which stood where McDonalds is now, everyone would gather there before heading off to THE nightclub, ‘Clouds’, which was in the Whitehall Building. It was the only nightclub at that point, so you could be assured you would meet up with any friends you hadn’t run into in the evening.’ “ There were two other ‘nights out’ that anyone who was anyone would attend – these were based at The Felbridge Hotel – the ‘Lobster Pot’ disco, on Friday nights and the Radio Luxembourg 208 disco which was held at the hotel on a Sunday evening. ‘ “As you can see, we didn’t spend much time at home in those days – it was all partying! I went to the same school as Nick (Van Eede) and one of my friends, Martin worked a lot with him. When Nick’s

‘I died in your arms’ record came out, it was our claim to fame that we “knew” him!” In the summer of 1986, Nutley born and Imberhorne educated, Nick Van Eede was riding on the crest of a wave with the release on 25th July of ‘(I just) died in your arms’ from Cutting Crews debut album, Broadcast. Thirty years on, he has penned the following memories for RH19; E.G.VILLE 80’s BLUES I woke up this morning Bought my new suit at Peter Dolphin (sharpest you ever saw) Oh I woke up this morning Fixed my sorest throat at Savory and Moore Living here in E.G.Villes not so bad When you got Gray’s record store Oh I walked out this morning Had myself a Chadburger in my hand Fixed up my busted Chevy At Mr Exhaust (the best deal in the land) Living here in E.G.Ville blows my mind At the Wiremill watching a cool local band Oh I woke up this morning Barely living here on Elm Drive, it seems But I needed to look sharp today Went to Inmates and bought my new Levi jeans Cos living here in E.G.Ville is the only place to be When you’re with your pretty lady Down at sexy, overcrowded, smoky, overpriced, Sometimes it can all kick-off Martines. By Blind Doc Envy Next month: Part 2 – Jill McGrogan, (professionally known as Jill Shirley) former Bucks Fizz Manager her memories of moving to the area in 1987.

The Red Arrows Return!

The Red Arrows will return this year to the world’s biggest free seafront airshow to be held in Sussex. Attracting crowds of thousands, Airbourne: Eastbourne International Airshow boasts a two-mile flying display line along the Sussex resort’s seafront and is a weekend not to be missed! By Jacob White

eaturing the best in military and civilian aviation with display teams including the much-loved Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, better known as the Red Arrows once again taking to the skies this year those in attendance in Eastbourne will be treated to some show-stopping displays between 11 - 14 August. Airshow visitors will also have the chance to see the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight on all four days, in a year which marks the 80th anniversary of the Spitﬁre and the 75th year of the Lancaster Bomber. The Red Arrows will take to the skies on Friday and Saturday much to the delight of event organisers. Eastbourne Borough Council Lead Cabinet Member for Culture, Tourism and Enterprise, Cllr Margaret Bannister said:

“We are delighted to hear that airshow favourites, the Red Arrows have chosen to return to Airbourne for two great displays this year, which will no doubt attract many thousands.” The King Air, a multi-engine pilot trainer, part of No. 3 Flying Training School and based at RAF Cranwell, will fly on the Saturday and Sunday with Saturday being what organisers have called as Super Saturday - last year it celebrated its busiest ever day with thousands of spectators visiting the event. In 2015, the culmination of the 12-hour Super Saturday extravaganza was a twilight pyro-aerobatics, Scouting For Girls on stage and a firework display. 12,000 people watched the chart-topping band from the beach stage alone, with thousands more lining the seafront to see the firework spectacular.

The atmosphere on Super Saturday was amazing; we’ve never seen the seafront look so vibrant.” Now in its 24th year, the event is celebrating a recent haul of national awards including Tourism Event of the Year 2015/16 at the Beautiful South Awards and the UK’s Best FREE Airshow by Airscene.

The ‘give a quid’ initiative is something organisers have launched - by asking for donations to Airbourne, which helps keep the event free, and in addition, 30% of all donations go to local charities with last year’s event ﬁnal total raised by Rotary Club volunteers amassing an impressive £36,415.82.

CHILDREN

Fun awaits in the great outdoors The school holidays are upon us, and it’s time to let the kids embrace the great outdoors! By Shelley Baker

hen we were young, summer holidays were spent outside playing with friends, learning to ride our bikes and having adventures away from the stuffiness of the classroom. However, with a recent government survey finding that 74% of the 5-12-year-olds asked are spending less than 60 minutes outside per day, it’s clear that school holiday activities have sadly changed somewhat. But, what hasn’t changed are the beneﬁts of being outdoors. From developing a love of nature to increased health and wellbeing to developing problem-solving skills and creativity, getting out and about is just as good for your child as it was for our generation –if not more important now we’re in such a technology-reliant world.

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

So this summer holiday, ask your kids to step away from Snapchat, put down their PlayStation and stop bingewatching on Netﬂix and embrace the great outdoors instead! A picnic has been a staple summer’s day ﬁxture for years. It’s uncostly (just grab a few homemade sandwiches and head outdoors) and the perfect way of introducing your child to nature. Shockingly, though, according to a study (by the Eco Attractions Group), half of young children have never been on a picnic apart from in their back garden. If like 8 out of the 10 parents surveyed, you’ve been meaning to spend more time with your child outdoors but just haven’t got round to it, start packing up that picnic rug, grab those

sarnies and get outside; there are some seriously stunning scenic spots to uncover. Our favourites include the National Trust’s Nymans (near Haywards Heath), Bateman’s (Burwash) and Standen (East Grinstead). Being iconic National Trust properties means there’s plenty of wildlife, ﬂowers and history to discover – giving an educational day out experience, far removed from a day spent on the sofa.

Does your child enjoy sports? The chances are that apart from the necessary once-aweek PE session at school, your child isn’t getting the one hour A DAY (yes, a day – quite a surprise isn’t it?) of aerobic exercise they need. If you’ve got a sporty child, why not enrol them in an outdoor football or netball camp for a few days over the holidays? Or, host your very own sports day! Invite your friends and their children for an afternoon of games in the garden. Not only will this get healthy hearts pumping but also see children communicating with others and utilising those problem solving skills too.

FOOD AND DRINK

Go Gluten Free A dietary revolution spurred-on by both medical reasons and healthy living. By Shelley Baker

ecent research has revealed that freefrom food sales have rocketed in the UK with sales in 2016 expected to reach £531 million – many Brits are changing their diet habits and going against the grains, are you? Awareness of gluten allergies and coeliac disease (an autoimmune disease which affects 1 in 100 people in the UK) has been raised over the last few years. The popularity in gluten free cooking from fashionable foodie bloggers Deliciously Ella, Madeleine Shaw and Livia’s Kitchen, thankfully means being on a gluten free diet has never been easier. In fact, in just the four years since I was diagnosed with coeliac disease, 2.6 million homes in the UK now have at least one family member avoiding gluten AND 60% of adults have knowingly bought a free-from gluten product. Demand for a gluten free diet has become so high that since 2014, all packaged foods must display gluten containing ingredients in bold.

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

Furthermore, The Food Information Regulations have enforced that when eating out, food businesses must provide allergen information for the meals they serve. What exactly is gluten and why do people cut it out? Gluten is a protein found in cereal grains such as wheat, oats, barley, rye and spelt. In a nutshell: it gives food the elasticity to rise. For people, like me, with coeliac disease; the proteins cause our bodies to not only attack these proteins but also attack an enzyme in the cells of the digestive tract, ultimately damaging the intestinal wall. Bloating, fatigue and anaemia are common amongst undiagnosed coeliacs and those with a wheat allergy or gluten intolerance.

RH Uncovered

@RHUncovered

Of course, many people without the autoimmune disease or an allergy have chosen to be free from grains commonly associated with gluten because of other beneﬁts including weight loss and a reduction in skin conditions such as eczema and headaches. What can I eat? If you’re anything like I was before going g-free, you’ll probably never have paid too much attention to food labels. However, when cutting gluten from your diet, it’s a must, as you’ll be surprised just what the grainy stuff ﬁnds its way into. HP Brown Sauce is the thing that still shocks me. Carbohydrate-heavy food favourites such as bread, cakes, pastries, pasta, pizza, porridge,

 01342 718348

breaded products, soy sauce and beers are just a few of the things to throw out (although you can buy delicious-can’t-taste-the-difference-free-from options in supermarkets and shops locally!). In come rice, eggs, fresh fruit and veg and meat! One of my favourite (and ﬁlling) recipes is paella – which should be naturally gluten free, just double check your stock cube ingredients. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan. Add a chopped onion and soften for 5 mins. Stir in a teaspoon of smoked paprika add 300g of paella rice, allowing to cook for a minute. Stir in a 400g tin of chopped tomatoes and 900ml of chicken stock. Cook for 15 mins, stirring occasionally until rice is almost tender. With liquid still in the pan, add a 400g bag frozen seafood. Stir and cover with a lid and allow to simmer for 5 mins, or until the prawns are cooked through and the rice is tender.Then serve with a little lemon juice!

Eating Out We’re lucky to have a plethora of brilliant restaurants nearby who can cater for our gluten free diet, without fuss, including chains such as Pizza Express, Ask, Bella Italia, Prezzo and Chiquito. Many pubs throughout the Uncovered region are also free-from friendly including; The Plough and Furrow (Horley), The Duke’s Head (Crawley Down), Old House Inn (Copthorne), The Wiremill Inn (near Lingfield) and The White Hart (Buxted). For a special occasion, Haywards Heath’s Jeremy’s Restaurant is a must! Love fish and chips? Fear not, the Master Fryer in both Crawley and East Grinstead offer gluten free chip shop treats on the first (Crawley) and third (East Grinstead) Saturdays of the month!

By Jacob White

6) Phones 4U – One of the earliest mobile phone retailers, the store closed in 2014. 7) Virgin Megastore – The famous music store was rebranded as Zavvi in 2007. 8) Abbey National – The bank was taken-over and rebranded by the Spanish bank Santander in 2011. 9) Somerﬁeld – Popular supermarket was taken-over by food retailing competitor Co-Op in 2009. 10) BHS – The most recent name we’ve lost, the High Street stalwart went into administration this year.

The multi-use beauty product of the moment

The hot trend of coconut oil – what’s all the fuss about? By Shelley Baker

oconut oil provides a chemical-free, natural moisturiser for head-to-toe softness and amazingly you can also use it as a shaving cream, lotion, hair conditioner and lip exfoliator. The hard and hairy coconut’s oil can also be consumed and according to studies it can help to control weight and cholesterol and fights off illness-causing bacteria. So whether you use coconut oil as part of your beauty regime, or whether you use it as a superfood, the range of benefits is amazing! Discover the fuss for yourself! Over the last few years, coconut oil sales have sky-rocketed. In fact, sales at Sainsbury’s alone were up 442% last year – and with the claims of being an all-purpose product for beauty and health, along with famous faces such as Gwyneth Paltrow waxing lyrical about the wonders of the natural oil, it comes as no real surprise. But just how can you incorporate it into your daily routine? We headed to the kitchen to uncover all… Majestic Moisturisation Renowned for hydration, coconut oil can quench thirsty skin, using just a small amount, and makes a fantastic all-over body moisturiser. This oil of the (skin) gods also is believed to be 15 times better for skin breakouts than benzoyl peroxide, thanks to its fatty acids and plethora of antibacterial and antifungal properties. Just dab onto any problem areas and voila; within a few days that niggling spot should be no more! Us ladies of a certain age can rejoice as coconut oil is also packed full of antioxidants (including vitamin E and vitamin A), which can slow down ageing and those dreaded wrinkles. Hooray! How to use: simply rub a small amount of coconut oil between your fingers and apply to clean skin for a healthy, hydrated glow!

Coconut-ty Conditioning While most of us may have used ‘coconut’inspired haircare products in the past to moisturise our tresses, our new favourite beauty must-have is proven to not only condition locks, but also prevent breakage and even promote hair growth! Make the most of this mighty oil by creating an overnight mask! Melt up to four tablespoons of the coconut oil (depending on hair length and thickness) between your palms and massage into wet hair. Then cover with a towel/ shower cap and leave overnight. Wash off and style as normal to reveal stronger sexy hair. Long Luscious Lashes and Eyebrows Just as with your hair; coconut oil is fast becoming a must-use product on eyelashes and eyebrows as the oil is gentle enough to use around the sensitive eye area and it helps lashes/ brows to grow and look volumised. Instead of buying that expensive mascara, make a natural boosting serum for a fraction of the price. Method: Pour two tablespoons of coconut oil, castor oil and sweet almond oil into a container and mix well. Using either a cotton bud or clean mascara wand, apply the serum to the lashes and brows, before going to bed. In just a few weeks’ time, your brows and lashes should look thicker, fuller and healthier!

Classy Conservatories

Though made popular in Victorian times, mainly as a space to grow plants, conservatories have certainly come a long way since then! Gone are the days when conservatories were high maintenance – today you can have a virtually maintenance free conservatory with self-cleaning glass and tiled roofs! A popular choice for an extension to a home’s living space it will also add value to your property.

By Jacob White

he main reason most of us invest in a conservatory is to expand the living space within our home and it’s important to remember that if it can provide enough room to enable us to stay put, rather than moving, then it’s a worthy investment that can help save stress and money.

An addition of a conservatory can help create a tranquil space between your home and your garden -helping you enjoy views of the outdoors from the comfort of your extended home and don’t forget a conservatory is a great hub for a house party! If a party hub isn’t quite your thing, how about it being the perfect portal between your home and your garden?

Whether it’s gardening or painting, your favourite pastime will need little inspiration if you’re doing it in a well-lit room with outdoor views. A conservatory also makes for a perfect dining space, from early morning summer breakfasts with views out to the garden, to almost “al-fresco” evening dining without the midges! continued on page 34

Choosing your Blinds I caught up with Sarah and Brian from Interior Blinds UK Ltd to ﬁnd out more about how you can dress up your conservatory with blinds. Sarah said: “Blinds help create a peaceful sanctuary; they transition well from summer to winter making them the perfect window covering choice.’ “Both warm and cool shades and border design introduce an aspect of nature into your home” Sarah added.

Performance fabrics include: 1) Advance solar control –

3) Anti-static –

The fabric acts as a barrier to heat loss and offers protection from UV rays

Repels dust ensuring the blind stays fresh

2) Blackout –

Prevents the collection of dampness stopping mould from forming

For when additional light control is required

4) Moisture resistant –

HOMES

How much does a conservatory cost you? There are many elements that go into the pricing with prices ranging from £5,000 - £100,000 and more. Importantly, know what you want the space for and with a budget, discuss your options with a consultant. By selecting a quality installer of conservatories you will only have to do it once in your entire life and the ﬁnancial beneﬁts can be worth it. Homeowners with conservatories add a potential 108% after spending an average £5,300, according to Zopa.com*.

The materials used for the construction of your conservatory will, as with most things, come down to budget. UPVC is a good choice for those on a budget, is easily maintainable and will be suitable for most (with the exception maybe of period) properties. For period properties, or if you have a bigger budget hardwood is another option. Though not as maintenance free as UPVC, looked after it will be just as long-lasting.

Whichever material is used for the construction, new technology means you aren’t just restricted to glass for your roof either, tiled roofs on conservatories are now growing in popularity making a seamless transition from original building to your new living space.

The Benefits of a Tiled Conservatory Roof If you find that your conservatory isn’t being used as much as you had envisaged because of excessive heat in the summer months and excessive loss of heat in the winter then a tiled roof might be the solution! Traditionally conservatories have had glazed or polycarbonate roofing, but modern technology means that you can now have a highly insulated tiled roof on your conservatory – the benefits are many too! • Significantly cooler in the summer and dramatically warmer in the winter, making it a room that can be used every day of the year. • A tiled roof will also help with Energy Saving costs, due to its superior insulation over glass or polycarbonate roofs. • It will protect your furnishings from UV rays, meaning your furniture won’t fade or bleach – and you’ll be able to watch TV comfortably without the glare from direct sunlight. • Reduces maintenance time and costs – glass or polycarbonate roofs need much greater regular maintenance • Noise reduction – a solid tiled roof will reduce the noise levels inside the room from rain, wind, and other outside noise. • With the benefit of a plastered ceiling, you will not only reduce noise but will also mean that you are not restricted to your choice of lighting.

HOMES Will you need planning permission? In most cases, the answer is no, but there are checks you can make to see if permission will be needed. If your new conservatory is likely to take up more than half of the land surrounding your house, or if the roof will exceed the highest point of your existing roof you’re likely to need to obtain planning permission.

TOP TIP

Are there any downsides? If your conservatory is going to be south-facing you are going to need to think about how to keep out the heat and glare of the midday sun! There are plenty of options ranging from window tinting by a specialist who can install a protective ﬁlm to your glass, to blinds which will both help enormously. Conversely, a north-facing conservatory is going to get chilly during

the autumn and winter months, so it would be worth considering installing some heating. A conservatory will also reduce the footprint of your garden, but you can more than make up for this with the additional living space it will provide!

Renubath… Bringing Bathrooms Back to Life! In an age of fastmoving trends & disposable designs it’s comforting to know that you don’t necessarily have to throw the bath out with the bathwater! Help is at hand… an expert team of specialists will lovingly restore your bath, basin, indeed your whole suite to look better than new (and even a different colour if desired!) Renubath apply their transformative resurfacing skills to a wide range of sanitaryware, from cast-iron enamel baths to more contemporary porcelain and even, in some cases, to modern acrylic ﬁttings. Freestanding pieces such as classic rolltop baths and smaller items such as original taps can be restored in their workshops. Most of their work however is done but they will also on site to avoid upheaval. From salvaging antique treasures that may once have seemed beyond repair, to a simple spruce up of a chipped, scuffed or ‘tidemarked’ surface, Renubath can save time, money, hassle and landﬁll waste by bringing a more sustainable approach to the business of bathroom refurbishment. A refreshing anti-dote to the throwaway culture of “new, new, new,” this hands-on service from a dedicated and highly experienced family run operation is very much in tune with the zeitgeist in its attitude of authenticity and renewal.

Their services have been sought from royal palaces to piedaterres and from a broad and highly appreciative clientele of homeowners, developers, hoteliers, designers and even the odd rock star for good measure – no matter what your budget, the appeal of avoiding waste and saving something that still has value is universal. Renovating your bathroom does not have to be a costly investment anymore. Renubath prices start from £195 exc VAT for re-enamelling basins and shower trays, and £350 exc VAT for reenamelling baths. Tap reconditioning and re-plating or ﬁnishing in polished brass start from £180 inc VAT. About your local Renubath representative: John Moffat is the local Renubath technician. He restores baths in Brighton, Hove, Tunbridge Wells and throughout Sussex, Midsussex and parts of Kent.

John is our Head Technician. If any of the other technicians have a problem they can’t solve on a job they contact John. If you book John you are getting the best! John has been working as a bath resurfacer for over 20 years. John has a particular interest in restoring antique items that other companies have been unable to restore. He particularly enjoys meeting new clients in their homes and takes great pride in his work About Renubath: Renubaths office is managed by Teresa Kane. The office is based in Sussex but enquiries from al over the country are dealt with here. Renubath also have a dedicated workshop in Surrey for people who wish to have their items restored off site. They also employ teams of roving re-finishers to work on-site in London, the South East and North West of England and in Scotland. They pride themselves on a high quality, great value service, using skilled and innovative techniques.

Grow your own take-away By Pippa Greenwood

e all know that home-cooked food is better for us than a stream of takeaways, but then we all deserve a little self-indulgence from time to time. So why not save yourself the guilt (and some cash) and grow your own Chinese takeaway right here in your own garden? No I haven’t turned cookery writer, but you can easily grow some of those tasty and crunchy vegetables that make the backbone of many a Chinese stir-fry... and the great thing is that oriental vegetables do well from late summer sowings, so it’s off to the garden centre (not the takeaway) you go! Bean sprouts are so easy to grow you could almost do it with your eyes shut. The common types are sprouted mung-beans, and you can either buy packets of seed or a small packet of the beans themselves from your local health food store. They’ll come with easy cultivation instructions and before you know it you’ll have the beginnings of a stir-fry. Mizuna has got to be one of the most attractive leafy vegetables you can grow. Its green leaves appear soon after sowing the seed in a pot or in open ground, and they add a great spicy ﬂavour to your stirfry and also add a zing to salads and sandwiches.

Pak-choi

And where would your Chinese meal be without that delicious Oriental veg, pak-choi. It’s another easy vegetable to grow late in the summer: just sow the seeds in a well-forked soil, water, and wait. Thin out as per the instructions of the seed packet (you can eat the thinnings too), then just pinch off the roots and pop the plants into the wok. Pak-choi also grows well in a container of multi-purpose compost. Radishes add heat as well as crunch, and there are some lovely oriental varieties such as Mantanhong, which is a Britishbred Chinese variety with a superbly crunchy bright red-topink inner ﬂesh and spherical white roots – great for colour and texture and with a sweet almost nutty ﬂavour. Sow in open ground or pots from now until early September for cropping in a few weeks’ time.

Garlic is another essential ingredient. It’s not really the right time of year to plant garlic, but for an unexpected little extra take a few spare cloves and pot them in trays of compost. Keep the compost slightly moist and in a week or two the cloves will start to sprout. What you’re after here are the bright green foliage which adds a definitely garlicy flavour to stir-fries and a touch of colour as well. Spring onions are another stir-fry component.You won’t get a fully mature crop for harvesting this year unless you’re extremely lucky; but what you will get is a super-young onion that will add both colour and intense flavour to the contents of your wok. And finally, mushrooms will add a meaty texture to your home-grown vegetable stir-fry. Kits for growing both oyster and field mushrooms are available in many garden centres or by mail order. It’s not always easy to get right, I know, but the challenge is definitely worth it when you have exotic mushrooms growing in your cellar, garden frame, greenhouse, or shed.

HEALTH

Putting your best foot forward! Are your feet happy? Happy feet are healthy feet. On average our feet take 7,000 steps a day and are often the most overlooked and overworked parts of our bodies. Now’s the time to think happy feet!

By Jacob White

any people take their feet for granted, but our feet contribute massively to our quality of life - if you suffer from poor foot health, it’s less likely that you will engage in physical activity. The less you do, the less you will be able to do. As a result of inactivity the following problems can arise; a loss of muscle mass, reduced physical strength and a decreased endurance. All these lead to a higher risk of illness and injuries related to a sedentary lifestyle such as diabetes and heart disease but according to osteopath Ben Barker, there are easy daily exercises. Ben, who is an osteopath to Aston Villa Football Club says: “There are exercises you can do each day to strengthen the muscles in the feet and ankles to prevent injuries, enhance mobility and strength.’

“Alternating for one minute, walk on your toes and then your heels and picking up small items with your toes are some of the easiest along with sitting with your feet ﬂat and tapping your toes.” Research from the College of Podiatry illustrates that 9 out of 10 of us experience some element of foot problem with 1 in 5 admitting to suffering from foot pain often or consistently. One question often asked is, what’s the difference between podiatry and chiropody? The short answer is nothing – they mean the same thing! The words are interchangeable. The UK is largely playing catch-up with the rest of the world by adopting the phrase podiatry. Traditionally chiropody has been seen as routine work but is, in fact, much broader.

Podiatrists treat all lower limb pain which can include sports injuries such as shin splints and joint pain, and can carry out diabetes checks as well as ‘foot MOTs’ including toenail and skin conditioning.

Stat’s a fact!

Each foot houses 26 bones and more than 100 ligaments Feet contain more than a quarter of all bones in the body Skin on your feet has more than 7,000 nerve endings There are more than 125,000 sweat glands on each foot Feet produce an eggcup’s worth of sweat each day *All statistics from www.NHS.uk

Here are our top tips for keeping your feet in good condition: 1. After washing feet, make sure you dry them thoroughly, especially between your toes. Fungal organisms thrive on moisture and not having perfectly dry feet is an invitation for a fungal infection. 2. Regularly check your feet for any signs of peeling or scaling, which might be an indication of athlete’s foot. 3. To avoid ingrown toenails, be careful to cut your nails straight across, avoiding rounding the corners. If you notice any change in your toenails such as discolouration, this could signal a fungal infection.

4. Wear shower shoes in public areas such as swimming pools, gym showers or locker rooms – all of which are potential breeding grounds for fungi, resulting in foot infections. 5. Don’t hire footwear at sports venues, wear your own – which should ideally be breathable. They should also fit well. Tight-fitting shoes are another cause of long-term foot problems. 6. Contrary to popular belief, cotton socks aren’t the best when it comes to sweaty feet – a better choice is a sock made of 60-70% wool and 30-40% man-made fibre, or wool socks with a specialist liner sock inside.

PET CARE

The importance of grooming

Always Wagging Pet Care Services

By Jacob White

Regular grooming keeps your pet looking in tip-top condition and helps keep their skin and coat healthy it also helps you to ﬁnd lumps or other conditions that should be checked by your vet.

t is possible to carry out basic but important grooming, such as bathing, brushing and combing in the home yourself, as is brushing your pet’s teeth and checking to ensure their ears are clean. You might be quite happy to trim their pet’s nails at home, others prefer to leave this job to the experts, and a professional groomer will usually include this service in a grooming session. They will also be able to clip your pet to suit their breed and remove any mats that may have formed - when choosing a groomer ensure that the facility is well-equipped, well-lit, and clean. Groomers should treat all pets with care, paying particular attention to those that may be frightened or uncooperative and the salon will ideally have separate kennelling areas for dogs and cats. Some pets may resist at ﬁrst – after all, this is a new experience for them, but most will settle fairly quickly. If your pet ﬁnds it stressful going to a groomer, consider employing the services of a mobile.

Questions to ask: • Do they appear knowledgeable? • Do they have any references from current or past customers that they would be willing to share? • How often does the groomer monitor the pets in their care?
