Dust to Dust…

Do you believe in fairies? I have a team of overall-clad workers who work their ‘magic’ when they visit every fortnight. Actually, I can’t decide if they’re fairies or therapists – such is the improvement in my mood since they started calling at my home.

By Sarah Ballingal

M

usings aside, these are flesh and blood cleaners who work for a domestic cleaning company franchise based in Redhill. The subject of housework seems apt at this time of year – spring cleaning being a centuries-long tradition, however, ‘cleaning’ is one of those words (along with Marmite) that will always elicit an extreme love/hate response.

Personally, I hate regular cleaning, but I enjoy a once-in-a-blue-moon sort out. It’s the relentlessness of housework that gets me down; it’s never-ending! Left to my own devices, I would adhere to Quentin Crisp’s philosophy: “There is no need to do any housework at all. After the first four years, the dirt doesn’t get any worse.”

However, sharing the house as I do and not wanting to frighten away potential visitors means that some sort of housework has to take place in my home occasionally. Thanks to professional fairies my life and home have been transformed (incidentally, they seem impossible to shock, no amount of filth and grime fazes them!).

De-cluttering - and now even re-cluttering are popular. Obviously, the less stuff we have in our homes, the less there is to clean. Victorian designer, William Morris, owner of more than one beautiful home is quoted as saying: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”

In the real world, life is messy, disorganised and unpredictable and we don’t always have the

luxury of time to sort stuff out. When we do, it’s a good idea to start small – not aiming to tackle the whole house, but selecting one room, and then actually doing it (whatever you do, don’t start looking through old photos; you’ll be there for days!).

Getting a friend to help and then returning the favour is an idea, other people’s mess is more interesting! I used to iron for a friend while she cooked me a meal (I love ironing, she loved cooking). Try the internet and the next time you’re surfing the web (and avoiding the housework) take a look at theorganisedhousewife.com.au/ she has useful tips.

“It’s alright for her, she has cleaners!” do I hear you cry? Admittedly, this is true. Actually, there was one time when I managed to clean my whole house from top to bottom in a morning.

Okay, so it was a fully-furnished three-storey dolls’ house, but that still counts – right?

The Gift Of Giving In Reigate

While most mothers are forever telling their children to: “Pick that up... Don’t leave that there!” Tasha Nicolaou has been actively encouraging her two young sons to leave things around!

A

By Sarah Ballingal

s a parent and childcare professional Tasha was concerned about the society that her boys are growing up in and she wanted to encourage them to think of others more and in some small way give something back to their community.

Things like little toys and gifts left indiscriminately around town for other children and adults to discover and enjoy, and what started as just a fun thing for her and her family has blossomed and captured the imagination of hundreds of people.

Their very first random act of kindness was to leave a bottle of bubbles on a park bench with a note attached suggesting that the finder might like to enjoy them and then ‘pay it forward’ themselves with some other act and so spread the joy.

Tasha’s boys loved doing this, and as they continued to distribute small offerings around the town. People started to

take notice and do the same themselves and in August 2016 a new community group, ‘Caterham Kind Tribe’ was born!

Communicating through their Facebook page, members demonstrate kindness in the community with ideas to inspire others - like attaching money to cakes enabling shoppers to have a free treat, or paying for coffees in advance for café customers.

Some of the acts of kindness aren’t so little, some are large!

Several members (including a professional decorator) got together to transform the bedroom of an elderly Alzheimer sufferer and books were given away at a Christmas Fair.

Hundreds of cookies were baked and along with toiletries distributed in decorated bags to a homeless charity. There are plans afoot to connect schools and care homes with children writing to residents, a litter-picking project is also planned.

RH Uncovered

@RHUncovered

Kind Tribe members give to their community in numerous ways - gifts, time, and services - large or small the only limit is imagination! There is something powerful and uplifting about the act of giving, especially when doing it with like-minded people.

As Saint Francis of Assisi said: “It is in giving that we receive” and there is no doubt that everyone benefits, both benefactor and recipient. Now this fantastic scheme is spreading to Reigate, and Lucia Browne is establishing Kind Tribe in RH2.

COVER STORY

Drusillas Park – What’s New At The Zoo In 2017 There always seems to be something new to see and do at the award-winning family attraction, Drusillas Park in Sussex and 2017 looks set to be no exception! This year sees new arrivals, new events and new attractions. So now that spring has sprung, where better to head with the family?

C

By Jacob White

overing 10 acres, Drusillas Park near Alfriston in East Sussex attracts between 350,000 and 370,000 visitors each year and is home to the first Hello Kitty themed attraction in Europe.

With exhibits targeted towards children between two and 10-years-old the zoo cares for both wild and domestic animals. Highlights include ring-tailed lemurs, meerkats, and penguins.

The park boasts many hands-on activities, an adventure play area for

12

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

different age groups, an indoor soft play centre and the Safari Express train ride as well as on-site cafes and shops.

The zoo has gradually increased the number of animals since owners Laurence and Christine Smith took over Drusillas 20-years-ago, but still maintains a policy of only having smaller ones.

A range of loveable primates are kept at the zoo for visitors to marvel at on their visit to the zoo, including crested black macaques, colobus monkeys and lar gibbons.

Other intriguing animal residents include servals, African crested porcupines, Rodrigues fruit bats, Asian short claw otters, llamas, Humboldt penguins, parrots, and flamingos.

Other exhibits include Pet World, Lemurland, a small farmyard, and a walk-through lorikeet aviary where you can feed nectar to the birds.

RH Uncovered

@RHUncovered

Did you know? Aside from the cute and curious critters, Drusillas Park is also home to the first permanent Hello Kitty attraction in Europe - Hello Kitty Secret Garden.

Hello Kitty Secret Garden includes three specially designed children’s rides: a Hello Kitty car ride, a tea cup ride and a fun-a-minute ‘reach for the sky’ hopper ride.

There’s also a Hello Kitty House and Parlour - where face painting and other activities take place - as well as regular meet and greet opportunities with Hello Kitty.

Five minutes with Beverley Neal, your local Travel Counsellor

We met with Beverley Neal to talk travel inspirations and to learn more about her expertise that can help you create the perfect holiday.

Hi Beverley, Tell us about yourself?

My family have been in Surrey now for over 10 years, from Dorking to Reigate and now Earlswood. We live and breathe travel, we even got married in South Africa, and we’re now enjoying introducing our 3-year-old son to the travel bug.

What are you most looking forward to in your new life as a Travel Counsellor?

Oh so much, my work/life balance, spending more time with my little boy, meeting new people, especially in the local community and just the satisfaction that comes from helping my customers.

Where are your areas of expertise?

I have travelled far and wide over my career in travel and my specialism is long-haul, basically anything further than Europe. I adore Africa and Asia, they are complicated destinations where first-hand knowledge and advice is hard to come by so I am hoping to be in demand for this. I have also travelled to Florida, Dubai, the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean so have expertise here for family holidays as well as honeymoons and special occasions.

What is your own travel inspiration?

Wildlife and history. I am lucky enough to have been on hundreds of safaris, spotting tigers and the Big Five (the Lion, African Elephant, Cape Buffalo, Leopard, and Rhinoceros) and we have even trekked with gorillas and cage dived with great whites so I like a bit of adventure and the beaches of Thailand, Malaysia and Bali never disappoint.

Where was our last trip and where to next?

My last holiday was a full-on family holiday to Orlando – 9 of us! I have been quite a few times now and love the theme parks, the trip before that was Cambodia and Vietnam so as you can see we like to mix it up! Next stop, who knows?

I have nothing planned which is giving me major itchy feet but I really want to get to the Maldives this year and hopefully back to South Africa.

My bucket list gets longer every year!

If you would like to discuss your next dream trip and get some expert advice please call Beverley on 01737 888480, email beverley.neal@travelcounsellors. com or check out her website www.travelcounsellors.co.uk/beverley.neal

So make this March the month you blow away the winter cobwebs and visit a local garden!

By Jacob White On a warm and sunny spring day, a beautiful English country garden is a very special place to be and our enduring love affair with the classic English country garden shows no sign of relenting, it’s clear we just can’t get enough of stylish roses running amuck, amid bright towering lupins and a tangle of sweet peas!

FOOD AND DRINK

Yakitori Kebabs with Chicken and Vegetables Yakitori is Japanese for marinated chicken kebabs.

We have added vegetables to this easy low fat dish.

Preparation time: 10 minutes plus 1-2 hours marinating Cooking time: 15 minutes Total time: 25 minutes plus 1-2 hours marintaing Serves: 4 Ingredients 4 tbsp Waitrose Japanese Soy Sauce 2 tbsp Yutaka Japanese Mirin 1 tbsp Waitrose Pure Clear Honey 2.5cm piece root ginger, peeled and finely grated 1 clove garlic, crushed 400g pack Waitrose British Chicken Breast Chunks 4 salad onions, each cut into 3 pieces 1 Romano pepper, deseeded and cut into 2.5cm pieces

Method 1. In a large bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, honey, ginger and garlic. Add the chicken and stir well. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight.

2. Preheat the grill to high.

Thread the chicken, salad onions and pepper pieces alternately, dividing them between 4 metal skewers, reserving the marinade.

3. Place the kebabs on the grill rack and brush liberally with the marinade. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the marinade. The chicken should be cooked until the juices run clear and there is no pink meat; the vegetables should be lightly charred. Serve immediately, with Waitrose Medium Egg Noodles, garnished with salad onions.

COOK’S TIP If you are short of time, marinate the chicken for just 20 minutes - it will still absorb a lot of the flavours. Try using a different selection of vegetables, such as yellow peppers and courgettes

HOMES

Spring Clean Like A Pro Spring is here! There might be the odd frost around but the sun is starting to break through and it is getting warmer by the day! It’s time to get spring cleaning and make your home look spotless!

Once done, your home will be ready for the year ahead so get organised, get equipped, get involved and get cleaning!

By Jacob White

N

o one looks forward to spring cleaning and if the thought completely overwhelms you then here are some tips to get your spring cleaning well and truly underway hassle-free, efficient and effective!

Get organised!

Don’t dive into your spring cleaning without a plan first! Sit down and make a plan of what you are going to clean and when, if you stick to this structure it will make the job a whole lot easier.

What time you can commit is key to such a plan!

Get equipped!

Spring cleaning is so much easier when you have the equipment you need – working with one or two cloths just won’t do! Make sure you have a list of all the cleaning tasks you need to do and a list of all the cleaning products you have or might need.

Get involved!

When it comes to a household spring clean, you shouldn’t have to tackle it on your own. As the old saying goes, many hands make light work, and it’s true! Cleaning will take half the time if you can get your partner or children on board too!

If you’re all mucking in and it’s a team effort make it fun! Put on music to sing together and make sure everyone enjoys a nice treat at the end of the spring clean – it’s an incentive to finish quicker and a nice reward after a hard day’s work tidying up!

Get cleaning!

Work your way down – sounds simple but start at the top of your house and work your way down. You don’t have to do the entire house in one stint – rather, pace yourself. Start by tidying, then dust, clean and then tackle the vacuuming in that step-by-step order.

Don’t forget the curtains! If curtains are not cleaned thoroughly at least once a year they will deteriorate. Some may require dry-cleaning whilst others can be washed at home – whatever you do just don’t forget to remove any attached curtain hooks.

Deep clean the carpets – carpets should be deep cleaned at least twice a year to remove ingrained dirt, bugs and allergens.

Use a good quality vacuum or steamer which can be hired at a reasonable price to bring back the freshness!

We would love to hear from you about your spring cleaning tips!

If you have any spring cleaning tips that you’d like to share, post them to our Facebook page /rhuncovered or to our Twitter page @RHUncovered.

GARDENS

Making The Most Of Your Container Garden Suitable for most plants, containers filled to the brim with seasonal or permanent plants can brighten up a corner of the garden and they are extremely versatile too! So whether you are looking for a charming welcome into your garden, giving your home added kerb appeal or you’re looking for handy home-grown herbs, we’ve got hints, tips and ideas for you to make the most of your container garden.

By Jacob White When to plant Plants take a short time to settle into their containers – expect more growth from spring and summer-planted containers compared to those of autumn and winter. For permanent plants now is the hour! They are best planted in early spring as they will establish quickly.

Summer-flowering plants should be planted in May when frosts have gone and for winter plants, go for a late summer or autumn planting.

Which type of container?

The container choices are vast, it’s important to think both style and substance. If you have a container that will need to be outside all year choose a frost-proof terracotta one, which will keep you in good stead when the temperatures drop. If you are looking at imitation-terracotta they can be useful for large plants due to their lightweight design and they can be moved indoors when a frost is forecast.

Whatever the design, size does matter! Think about the root system when choosing one, small pots dry out quickly so plant small plants in large containers, and by doing so you will reduce the chore of constant watering. However, caution is needed for plants such as camellia or citrus with small root balls as excess compost can become waterlogged and result in root rot and ultimately plant death.

Combating waterlogging and other draining problems is key to managing a container garden.

Ensure adequate drainage by selecting the right size pot and the necessary number of drainage holes – if extra holes are needed drill where appropriate.

Consider placing stones or broken terracotta at the bottom of your container and raising the container up on bricks to guard against waterlogging.

How to plant Place drainage material in the bottom of the container, such as broken up polystyrene, stones or broken terracotta. For a container 45cm (18in) deep, a 9cm (3½in) drainage layer is sufficient Fill the container with compost, leaving room to arrange the plants on the surface Remove the plants from their pots, tease out the roots gently and work more compost around the rootballs. Ensure that the top of the rootball is level with the surface of the compost Firm the compost around the plants, water well to settle and top up with compost if necessary.

Make sure there is a gap of about 2.5cm (1in) between soil level and the top of the container.

This will ensure there’s room for the water to soak in.

Source: The Royal Horticultural Society How to maintain To maintain your container garden, check the compost moisture levels daily from April to September, watering if dry. As well as compost, feeding is important. The Royal Horticultural Society advises “Start feeding four to six weeks after planting, unless the compost contains a slow-release fertiliser.

From April to September, use a general-purpose liquid feed, unless the compost contains a slowrelease fertiliser. Feeding is not needed in winter.”

Make sure you deadhead regularly to encourage growth and where necessary re-pot in early spring.

For permanent displays, re-potting is required at least every two to four years to prevent problems with drying out and waterlogging. Reduce watering during winter months and try to avoid compostfreeze by moving containers under cover or covering them in bubble-wrap or old bed sheets.

MOTORING

Driverless Cars

Technology is rapidly changing the world around us and the area of motoring is no different – this month we look at a future with driverless cars and what this means.

By Ben Morley

T

his month I was asked to give my thoughts on driverless cars and the impact that they will have on motoring. I could launch into an analysis of James Cameron’s Terminator films and how we are spiralling towards a world controlled by computers.

However, I won’t, because we don’t have space and I am sure you, dear reader, don’t have the time to read my musings.

The truth of the matter is that most modern cars now have the capability of driving themselves.

The throttle is fly-by-wire, the

steering is electric, the brakes are electronically assisted, there are sensors to tell you if you’re coming out of your lane on motorways, sensors tell you if you’re too close to the car in front and sensors to tell you if you are about to reverse into something; it’s all there, it just needs linking up.

I think we are a few years off a way of doing it safely, however, it’s a sad inevitability that the increasing laziness of the human race, and our dependence on computers, dictates that it will happen at some point.

When it does happen, I expect there will be dedicated lanes on the road for ‘automatic’ vehicles to begin with. Whilst we will be able to programme computers to work out what other computers are doing we are some way off programming them to second guess humans.

Then there is the whole electric car argument. Is this a viable future for the motor car? In my opinion, it isn’t. Where does electricity come from? Burning fossil fuels.

How will we recycle the special batteries used in these cars? Erm, we’ll work that out when the time comes. The technology to replace petrol is already there, but until the petrol companies can earn some money from it, we won’t hear about it.

Looking after your family cars for 50 years

Secure Shredding Destruction Do you need confidential or sensitive documents securely destroyed?

We can help!

No business can afford their confidential or sensitive documents or files falling into the wrong hands. Studies suggest identity fraud is often committed through criminals obtaining information from bins.

Data protection is a hot topic and businesses are expected to comply with the laws that support the protection of information whether it’s record management or the ultimate data destruction.

S4B Document Solutions understands and offers a service where all documents are safely and securely shredded at our premises.

Document and Archive Storage Do you need an off-site storage facility?

We can help!

If your business is becoming overloaded with documents and records that you have to keep for compliance or legislative reasons then our document management system is the answer.

We offer clean, secure and confidential storage of all of your company files, records and documents - whether it’s just one box or thousands of boxes we can help!

Our box storage is charged by the box, by the day – offering great value as it means you only pay for the space that you use!

Save space and use your business space more productively!

01342 326806 info@s4b-shredding.co.uk www.s4b-shredding.co.uk

Five Minutes with Mike Founder and Owner Mike Potts Why would I store Private or Company records?

There is always an argument for using a space more productively at home or in business premises. Most people or companies do not need constant access to all of their records but are legally bound to keep some. The important thing is to be able to locate files or boxes with ease when needed.

How safe are my records and how do I get access?

This is the most important consideration. Always choose a reputable company with testimonials like S4B. Ensure that their premises are fully protected by CCTV, have entry systems and are monitored out of hours by a reputable alarm company. Access is available weekdays during office hours and we can retrieve a file/box next day or same day delivered or collected from our premises.

Is there a minimum amount of boxes and is it expensive?

No it is priced on the amount of boxes stored, but we can invoice annually for very small amounts if needed. There is no comparison with paying per box against a self-storage room where you pay for the entire area.

Call or email us for a free quotation.

What if I am storing elsewhere at present?

It is unusual to move and sometimes costly but if you want to move it will be down to poor service or cost.

It never hurts to get a free quotation!

We are always looking to add to our happy customers – our advice is free and we will help with relocations.

HEALTH

Turning Japanese!

Have you ever wondered why the Japanese diet keeps you looking young and feeling wonderful? Stars including Victoria Beckham and Madonna are avid followers of a Japanese diet rich in fish, soya, tea and vegetables – I spoke to nutritionist Cassandra Barns who reveals three foods which can help us live longer!

D

id you know Japanese people are more likely to reach 100 years-old than anyone else in the world? It’s widely accepted across the globe that the Japanese live longer and healthier lives than many other nationalities, researchers put their incredible longevity down in part thanks to their unique national diet.

Nutritionist Cassandra Barns reveals five foods in the Japanese diet that could help us live longer: Fish Did you know?

The Japanese eat between 80g to 100g of fish every day, while the British struggle to eat just one portion of oily fish a week.

Cassandra, says: “Fish are of course a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids, these fats are not only essential for heart health, but also for our brain and eyes.

36

www.rhuncovered.co.uk

By Jacob White Fish are rich in selenium, which is vital for our antioxidant defences and immune system and B vitamins that help to keep our brain chemistry in balance.

We eat far less fish in the UK compared to Japan – it’s time we started upping our intake!”

Matcha Tea Did you know?

Tea is the most commonly drunk beverage in Japan Among the most well-known places for tea cultivation in Japan are Shizuoka, Kagoshima and Uji. Cassandra, says: “Matcha is a traditional powdered green tea made from the fresh leaf tips of the tea plant.

Green tea – matcha in particular – is high in a specific type of flavanols called catechins.

RH Uncovered

@RHUncovered

These substances are thought to boost our body’s antioxidant defences, potentially helping to protect against degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and even cancers.”

Fermented soya Did you know?

Japan has one of the world’s largest selections of fermented foods such as natto (fermented soybeans), miso and soy sauce.

Cassandra, says: “One of the ‘secrets’ of the health of Japanese women is thought to be their consumption of soya foods, thanks to the isoflavones they contain. Isoflavones act as phytoestrogens – plant substances that have a weak oestrogen-like effect in the body – so may be especially helpful for women after menopause, when natural oestrogen levels drop – a reason why we could live longer!

PET CARE

Caring For Tropical Fish

In recent years, the trend for keeping tropical fish as pets has grown.

Perhaps thanks to characters such as Nemo and Dory in Disney’s Finding Nemo bringing beautiful and rarely seen fish to the big screen – and in turn pester power from the kids to add a fabulous fish to our homes.

A

By Shelley Welti

s we all know, tropical fish aren’t as easy to care for as the humble goldfish – there’s plenty to consider to ensure that you have the optimum conditions to give your new pet a healthy home.

Do your homework From clownfish and blue tangs like Nemo and Dory to colourful mollies and fancy guppies, there’s so many tropical fish to choose from. Do your homework to make sure that your new fishy friend is the right pet for you and your family - visit a seller and be sure to ask them questions.

Set up their tank Once you’ve decided on your new family member, it’s time to buy the equipment and set it up correctly.

Don’t be tempted (although it is very exciting!) to shorten the time suggested by professionals; it’s a must to keep your fish healthy and happy. Wash your tank (to make sure there are no nasty chemicals lurking) and then add your substrate.

The substrate is the material used on the bottom of the tank and it can affect the water’s chemistry, filtration and ultimately your fish’s well-being. Add plants and rocks to make the tank more homely.

Again, these also require in-depth research for your chosen fishy family addition.

Water wellness Fill your tank halfway with fresh water and add your chosen heater and filter, then fill your tank up. Let the tank rest for at least ten minutes, before adding a water conditioner. Leave this to settle for 15 minutes and add a bacteria supplement.

This is where patience is needed; depending on your preferred fish, you need to cycle your tank and add a source of ammonia (fish food or an ammonia solution work replicating fish waste and encouraging the bacteria to grow, so ‘natural’ colonies are already present for your fish).

This can take a few weeks and lots of checking for levels of ammonia, nitrate and PH levels – just remember; it will be worth it when you provide your fish with a perfect home.

Adding your fish Once your water is just right; it’s time to buy your fish and add them to the tank. Don’t just release them – let them adjust, by putting them in their bag for half an hour. Using a net remove your fish from the bag and set them free to explore their new home!

Ongoing care As you will have experienced, getting the ammonia, PH and nitrate levels just right can be tricky. Keep monitoring those, along with your fish’s behaviour to keep them healthy and happy!
