It’s a big month for the UK, as we celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee over an extended Bank Holiday weekend (2nd - 5th June ’22). What an amazing lady she is, having dedicated her life to crown & country; I doubt we will ever see a monarch quite like her again… Whatever your plans for the Jubilee weekend, I hope you have a great time, and I hope HRH does too! There are plenty of great events planned in our local area this month, as well as countless street and garden parties to attend. Our What’s On listings are overflowing with some really wonderful events, so I’m sure there will be plenty to keep you busy! Let’s hope the weather holds up! June is also the month for World Environment Day on 5th June, Bike Week and Child Safety Week from 6th to 12th June, and World Giraffe Day on 21st June! 🦒 And of course, we must not forget Father’s Day on 19th June, a time to remember that very important person in your life. Until next time, enjoy whatever June brings your way, Kindest Regards

THE QUEEN’S PLATINUM JUBILEE: 96 YEARS OF LIFE
So, what have those 96 years been like?
THE WAR & THE ARMY Queen Elizabeth II was born and named Princess Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, on April 21st 1926. That means that she was 13 years old when WWII started, 14 when her home in Buckingham Palace was bombed in 1940, and by the time the war ended, she had already become a Junior Commander at the ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service) and was training to become a mechanic. As a member of the ATS, she was also the first female of the Royal family to be an active-duty member of the British Armed Forces. And on May 8th, 1945, dressed in that ATS uniform, she snuck out of the palace with her sister Margaret to join the people celebrating the end of the war in the streets of London. In 1985, speaking to the BBC about that night, she said, “I think it was one of the most memorable nights of my life.” Today,
18 Looklocal Magazine - June 2022
Queen Elizabeth is the last surviving head of state to have served during the Second World War.
FAMILY Two years after the end of WWII, and six years before she would become queen, Princess Elizabeth was betrothed and married to her distant cousin – Lieutenant Phillip Mountbatten of the Royal Navy. They were married in 1947. He was formerly Prince Philip of Greece and Denmark and, just before they were to be married, was titled Duke of Edinburgh, earl of Merioneth and Baron Greenwich by Princess Elizabeth’s father. In 1952 she became queen with the passing of her father, then in 1953 was crowned Queen Elizabeth II. At this point, she had already given birth to two of her four children - Prince Charles and Princess Anne. Ten years later in 1960 Prince Andrew would be born, and Prince Edward in 1964. Now, in 2022, those four children have given the Queen eight grandchildren, and twelve greatgrandchildren.

The 2022 celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70year reign with the Platinum Jubilee is one of the UK’s major historic events. But although 70 years on the throne is certainly an impressive accomplishment, it has to be said that 96 years of life are perhaps even more so. Her Majesty is the world’s oldest monarch, following the death of His Majesty King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia at the age of 90.

Home-made Swiss rolls are so good, and surprisingly easy to make.
Raspberry Swiss RolL INGREDIENTS: • 4 free-range eggs • 115g caster sugar, plus extra to dust (you can also use icing sugar) • 1/2 tsp tsp vanilla
bean paste • 75g self-raising flour • 200ml double cream • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 200g whole raspberries
For The Raspberry Jam • 150g caster sugar • 1/2 tsp lemon, zest, and juice • 350g raspberries
INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5 & line a 23x33cm Swiss roll tin with greaseproof paper. 2. Place the eggs, sugar & vanilla paste into a bowl & whisk together until pale, fluffy, & thickened to the consistency of double cream. 3. Sieve the flour into the mixture & carefully fold it in preserving as much air as possible. Pour the mixture into the lined tin & spread it evenly with the spatula. Bake for 10 - 12 mins, or until just firm to the touch. 4. Place a sheet of baking paper, slightly bigger than the tray, onto a work surface & dust with caster sugar. Turn the sponge out onto the paper, peel off the baking paper on the bottom of the sponge & set aside to cool a little. 5. Pour the double cream & vanilla extract into a large bowl and whip to soft peaks. 6. Make the jam - Heat a pan until hot. Add the sugar, lemon zest & juice and cook for 3 - 4 mins until the sugar has dissolved. Throw in the 350g of raspberries and cook for 3 – 5 mins until they break down & thicken. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. 7. Spread the jam over the sponge, leaving a 2cm gap around the edge. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the jam, then sprinkle over the whole raspberries. 8. Starting with the longest edge of the sponge & using the baking paper to help (but take care not to roll the paper inside the sponge!), roll the sponge up tightly, making sure the filling stays inside. Keep rolling until the sponge rolls off the baking paper. Dust with extra caster sugar or the icing sugar & cut into slices to serve.

Looklocal Magazine -June 2022 25 72
Are you ready for ReadyPrint? Almost every day we have someone in the shop talking about how expensive genuine ink cartridges are and especially at the moment with the rising costs of living. They often ask us; is there a way I can save money on ink without having to buy cheaper alternative cartridges that could ruin my printer? We asked the question and Epson answered with their ReadyPrint Flex scheme which according to them could save you up to 70% on the cost of ink. ReadyPrint is a flexible printing plan for the latest Epson Expression Home and Workforce printers, where you pay a fixed amount per month for a set number of pages.
30 Pages per month
£1.29 per month
50 Pages per month
£1.99 per month
100 Pages per month
£3.49 per month
300 Pages per month
£9.99 per month
500 Pages per month
£16.49 per month
Need to print less? Roll over unused pages for 2 months Need to print more? Each additional page is just £0.10
So, whether you print a little or a lot there should be a great value option for you. It will also help ensure that you never run out of ink again because as soon as your ink cartridges start running out Epson will ship them straight to your door so you hopefully never run out of ink again! As everyone’s printing needs vary so much and can change so quickly Epson will let you change your plan up or down on a monthly basis, so it stays flexible to what you need and want to do. Give us a call and we can help check your printers compatibility, answer any questions or get you signed up.

BOOKHAM OPEN GARDENS DAY
Sunday 26th June, 10am – 5pm
This year we are featuring around 15 varied and attractive private gardens, including two new ones. In addition, we welcome back Polesden Lacey Infants School, Liberham Lodge (formerly Gracewell), The Grange Centre and Little Bookham Allotments. Open Gardens Day raises money for the upkeep of our historic Old Barn Hall where delicious home-baked cakes, rolls and drinks will be served throughout the day and there will be plants for sale. In addition you can visit the Country Market stall. Find out more about gardens in the programme which will be available at our ticket outlets or can be downloaded from our website at www.bookhamopengardens.co.uk. It contains useful information on parking, toilets, where else you can buy plants, wheelchair accessibility, and key footpaths to help you move between gardens where there’s no direct road route. Lots of people go round on bicycles but please be mindful of pedestrians on these paths. Sorry there will be no minibus service but do consider car sharing if you can. As you go between gardens, look out for
beautifully decorated Blue Hearts, indicating a verge of lovely flowers to attract pollinators that are so important for biodiversity. Many of our gardens are wildlife-friendly too. Tickets on sale from 23rd May: £7 in advance from • The Vineries Garden Centre, Lower Rd (sponsors) • Wishing Well, 7 High Street • Bungalow Stores, Beckley Parade, Leatherhead Rd • Old Barn Hall office, Church Rd, KT23 3PQ. Tel: 01372 456307 (Mon, Wed, Fri 9:30 - noon) • Village Day, Sat 18th June, on the field On the day you can buy tickets (£8) at the Old Barn Hall and from the gardens themselves. Children u16 - free, as are carers of wheelchair users (who pay a reduced rate of £5). Regret no dogs, other than assistance dogs. As well as our sponsor, we would also like to thank our kind local business supporters, our ticket sellers, and the army of willing volunteers who help us on the day.

Book Reviews JUNE 2022 ‘A Net for Small Fishes’ by Lucy Jago This book is based on the well known Overbury scandal that rocked the court of James I and culminates in a deeply controversial murder trial in 1615. It centres on the powerful friendship between Anne Turner and Lady Frances Howard who is unhappily married to the abusive Earl of Essex. It vividly portrays how precarious life was for women - how bereavement, bad luck or the caprice of a man could render a woman destitute. These women used their sexuality, cunning and intelligence to try and change their destiny. They were determined and brave and the power and ferocity of their friendship is impressive and moving. A gripping read! ‘This be a net for small fishes that the great ones swim away’. ‘The Island of the Missing Trees’ by Elif Shafak A beautiful, magical novel telling the tale of two star crossed lovers. They are Defne and Kostas, she Turkish Cypriot, he Greek Cypriot, living in war torn Nicosia in the 1970’s. They met in a tavern and fell in love. That love endured through war and separation, eventually culminating decades later in their life together in North London. The narrator of this delightful story is the fig tree which was growing in the inner courtyard of the tavern. It brings compassion, wisdom and understanding of the horrendous outcome brought by war to humanity and the natural world. ‘Young Mungo’ by Douglas Stuart This second novel appears hot on the heels of the fantastic Shugie Bain and is similar in many ways. Mungo Hamilton, like Shugie, is born in the late 1970s and grows up in a poor Glasgow tenement. Apart from an older sister and brother he also has a truly monstrous “alkahawlick” mother, who sends Mungo off on a fishing trip with two complete strangers to straighten him out. Mungo has to try and summon all his inner strength and courage to get back to a place of safety where he finds love. Mungo is a gripping and revealing story about love and the bounds of masculinity, the divisions of sectarianism. : 01932 862903 : info@cobhambooks.com : www.cobhambooks.com : 12A Anyards Rd, Cobham, KT11 2JZ
