You’ve gotta love this month! It signifies the beginning of spring; the clocks go forward on 29th and the trees are just about to burst into life after the dark winter months. What’s not to like?

We are delighted to include an interesting new weather feature for you this month too, welcoming local resident Bob Pritchard to our pages; Bob has been a career ‘weatherman’.

Having been interested in the weather since a young age, he went on to work at the Met Office for many years, with 25 years in broadcasting the weather forecast on Radio 4 and Radio 5 live. He took early retirement 16 years ago but has remained very active in the subject. He was the editor of Weather Magazine (published by the Royal Meteorological Society) for five years and still writes monthly weather summaries for them. Bob has kindly offered to bring us regular weather related features. Thank you Bob I look forward to learning more...

Princess Alice Hospice were delighted to receive a letter from the PM recently. It’s good to see that their amazing work is recognised by Boris!

Christ Church, Esher have a lovely lunchtime concert coming up this month in the form of the ‘Laefer Saxophone Quartet’.

These accomplished musicians have previously performed at The Royal Albert Hall & at St James’s Church Piccadilly, so well worth attending while you have the chance to hear them play right here in Esher!

Plenty more to discover within our pages this month, I hope you enjoy exploring them.

Wishing you all a great month and remember to remember your Mothers on 22nd, Mother’s Day.

Barbara Altounyan - founder of ‘The Hospice Biographers’

honoured by the Prime Minister The creator of a unique service for dying patients and their families - which was developed at Princess Alice Hospice - has been honoured by the Prime Minister.

Barbara Altounyan is the founder of The Hospice Biographers who now work in Hospices across the UK to give the gift of memories by recording patients’ lifestories.

This dedication has earned Barbara the Points Of Light award, a daily honour which recognises outstanding individual volunteers - people who are making a change in their community.

After being inspired to record her father Roger talking of his memories towards the end of his life in a Hospice, Barbara resolved that more patients should have the chance to share their stories and preserve priceless memories for family and friends.

Since she started the Biographers in 2017, more than 190 patient stories have been recorded and staff trained in using recording equipment in 35 hospices

8 Looklocal Magazine - March 2020

across the UK. In a personal letter to Barbara, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “I know you do this with no thought of praise or reward, but allow me to offer my own recognition of your incredible work which brings the gift of memories to families across the country.”

Barbara said: “The Hospice Biographers are thrilled to receive this very worthwhile Prime Minister’s award honouring the work of volunteers.

“Every life story we record on audio from our Hospice patients is a life remembered for their family and friends forever, what other family heirloom can be as valuable as the voice and memories of one whom you’ve loved and cherished.”

Jon Snow, the face of Channel 4 news since 1989, has also recently pledged his support for the Hospice Biographers by becoming a Patron of the charity For more information visit www.pah.org.uk/

Salut Spring!

It’s almost time to wave Winter goodbye and welcome the Spring!

Hopefully weather conditions will make it a warm welcome, so why not head outside and give your garden a spring clean?

Perk up your patio or driveway by power-cleaning them. Mulch borders, feed perennials and clear leaves and moss. Aerate your lawn, sweep in some sharp sand and add a good fertiliser to give it a boost.

If your lawn is beyond reviving, it may be more time efficient and costeffective to replace it completely. You can update bare borders and reshape them at the same time.

Complete your makeover with a new patio, or extend an existing one to create extra space for entertaining, dining and relaxing outside.

Installing a BBQ or outdoor kitchen will help to get the most out of your garden and ensure you spend quality time outdoors.

Don’t forget to refresh tables and chairs by giving them a good clean.

You can take your furniture from shabby to chic in just one afternoon.

Remove dirt and cobwebs from wooden or wrought iron furniture with a stiff brush, before cleaning thoroughly and restoring the finish to its former glory. Invest in some new cushions or accessories for an instantly stylish update.

Hopefully 2020 will be a year of plenty. Plenty of good weather and plenty of good times in your garden!

PRIMA DON NA

When was the last time you had a bra fitting... or perhaps you’ve never had one? Lingerie is the foundation of any outfit, yet it is well known that 85% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. A perfectly fitted bra can alleviate health problems, accentuate your waist and even make you drop a dress size! It will not only change the way you look, we guarantee it will make you feel amazing too.

Victoria’s Little Bra Shop in the heart of Dorking, Surrey (est. for 6 years) is the go-to place for all your lingerie, swimwear and nightwear needs. Run by mother and daughter, the duo recently won the prestigious award of Best Boutique Style Lingerie Shop 2019 in the UK. Established in 2013, Vanessa and Victoria attribute their growing success to their professional, friendly and

caring approach.

Fiona, from Hello Dorking, visited the boutique for a fitting in their upstairs boudoir: “This beautiful award winning boutique, really is very special. The stylish shop feels like a bedroom with well coordinated decor, big beautiful mirrors, vintage wardrobes and velvet curtain changing rooms. As I try on a few lovely bit and pieces, we discuss the world of women’s lingerie. We agree that underwear should feel like a second skin and make us feel really confident and content with our body shapes. It is great to have such an amazing shop on Dorking High Street where we know that we’re getting the very best care and attention.”

If you would like to be fitted, please don’t be anxious but pop in to see the girls, no appointment necessary, and they will be delighted to meet you with a warm welcome guaranteed.

NEED A NEW MACHINE?

What to look for when buying a Computer As Windows 7 has now come to the end of the line, you may be looking for a suitable replacement. We provide new and used Windows and Mac based solutions.

When buying a Computer or Laptop there is a whole heap of jargon that people throw at you with an expectation that you should know what they are taking about - SSD’s, Ram, MHz, Wifi, HDMI and so it goes on. We have always felt this a very rude way to treat your fellow man, so yes, we can talk jargon with you but we can also talk in finest English to ensure your needs are best met.

Initially, we will discuss with you what your needs are and what you want to do with the computer, and if there are any things you would like to do but are currently unable to like photo editing or creating that family video you have been promising.

Here are a few pointers that you might appreciate knowing about, before you buy your new machine.

The key componentsThe Processor or the CPU is the engine that powers the PC. It is advisable to buy the best that you can, as CPU’s are costly items and are not efficient to change or upgrade at a later stage. If your needs are for basic Word processing and Excel type work, plus some Internet browsing and email handling, a basic Intel, Core i3 CPU or AMD Ryzen 3 CPU would represent a good choice. If you are looking for something a bit more capable, a good all round home machine, we would usually advise either an Intel Core i5, i7 or i9 CPU. Being still more powerful, reflecting a similar numbering scale, Ryzen 5, 7 and 9, with the 7 and 9’s often reserved for more intensive power hungry activities like Virtual reality, Graphics or game play. There are model variations with in these CPU’s - but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

Memory or Ram - The more the better, but this can usually be retro fitted. 4Gb of Ram is considered the bare minimum, going beyond 8Gb is often unnecessary for everyday use. The latest, fastest DDR4 memory is today’s standard fit and moves the performance of the machine on significantly, when compared to its earlier

counterparts, and will offer solid performance for years to come.

Hard drives - TThe conventional mechanical hard drives have been using the same technology for around 20 years.

They are very economic, have huge storage capacity but can be slow. Upgrade to a Solid State Hard Drive (SSD) and the performance is phenomenal. They work at 1520 times faster than the mechanical drives, they are more reliable (as they have no moving parts), but they cost more and have less storage capacity than the older type hard drives. If you need to store loads of data, a great solution is to have both in a machine. The SSD runs the Operating System and Programs and the mechanical drive stores your data.

Graphics cards - Game players, photo and video editors and graphics users are better served by having a dedicated graphics card installed, in some cases the graphics card can cost as much as the computer.

In most cases, using the onboard graphics is sufficient and should you wish to upgrade the graphics this can sometimes be retrospectively added into a PC, but unfortunately rarely on in a laptop.

Operating System - Windows is the dominant system here, with Windows 10 being the preferred choice, as it works in a very efficient manner and is the industry dominant product. Unlike earlier versions Microsoft have stated that Windows 10 will be the operating system of the future, with the program being revised via updates rather than a distinctly separate new version. To date, we are on the 9th major version with a new edition being scheduled for the first half of 2020…. and yes, the updates are free of charge.

Should you be using a version of Office, we would urge you to buy a new version of Office, if your current version is earlier than Office 2016, as Office 2013, 2010 and earlier have all come to the end of their mainstream support. Many customers think that the only way to purchase the new version is via an annual rental scheme, but this is not the case. We have the perpetual version for sale, and usually this provides a more economic solution.

The Laefer Saxophone Quartet was formed in 2012 at the Royal Academy of Music. Since then they have been performing very successfully across the UK, including at The Royal Albert Hall and St James’s Church. Piccadilly.

They specialise in performing contemporary classical repertoire and transactions by classical composers.

This will appear strongly in our programme in Esher which will feature Bach’s Italian Concerto and stunning works by Marsey and Harding, which led to an Ivor Novello Award. Also included is the American composer, David Maslanka’s , “Peace” which is highly influenced by Bach, and compliments the Italian Concerto.

Altogether another exciting and dynamic occasion.

We hope you can join us.

Free entry and light lunch from 12.30pm Concert from 1.10pm. Retiring Collection

The 5 Natural Elements

By Selina Botham Award winning local garden designer Selina Botham thinks about the 5 Natural elements water, earth, fire and wind and how they relate to gardens. This month taking a look at ‘earth’ and its importance in garden design.

All gardeners will know that the earth (soil) you have has a huge impact on how your garden will look and how well plants grow. Soil is precious and fundamental for life. In the times when everyone had to grow their own food, I am sure it was more highly valued. As we become more eco aware and planet responsible I am sure we will start to treat it with more care. It is certainly something to check if you are buying a new build house.

Soil is made up from weathered rock and mineral particles like clay, sand and silt and organic matter which is decomposing animal and plant matter, plus microorganisms.

It’s a complicated ecosystem in its own right and soil takes years to form and develop. If you have good soil either in your own garden or at an allotment it will be because you or previous owners have tended and improved the soil over the years. This will reward you with plants which grow well and fruit and veg which taste amazing.

Topsoil is the top layer and will be between 150-300 mm thick. This is the layer with the organic matter and all the organisms. Below that, the sub soil is inorganic and a lighter colour. The sub soil may be sandy and free draining or in the case of clay it is water retentive. Clay soil, if mistreated, can become compacted even from being walked on when wet. After a building project often large areas of a garden have been damaged by the works and need careful rectification as part of the new

26 Looklocal Magazine - March 2020

garden creation. If the soil structure has been destroyed it will take a lot of work to repair it. Because soil is a living ecosystem, worms and microorganisms also need time to grow and do their work.

When you understand the soil layers, it’s a relief to realise that as long as the sub soil is well structured and can drain and is inorganic, it’s only the top 300mm that you need to worry about and there is a lot that can be done to improve topsoil using the no dig method.

Or I have had good results with digging in grit, gravel, sand and compost to help ‘lighten’ heavy topsoil. If that is not feasible or if you need more soil then you can buy in topsoil (only use a reputable supplier and purchase soil which is tested to British standards).

The type of soil you have can be analysed and categorised and it will be suitable for a certain range of plants.

It’s often good to look at your neighbours gardens to see what plants are thriving.

There are plenty of places to go for extra help like the RHS, Gardening - Which and many of the garden centres do have leaflets with plant suggestions according to soil type. If you employ a garden designer they will examine and test your soil and choose plants that will be suited to your soil as well as the sun/shade conditions in each bed.

Selina Botham is an award winning garden designer based in Claygate. If you would like to improve and make the best of your garden and need some professional help contact Selina for an initial garden consultation on 07894 553 202 or see her web site for further ideas www.designsforallseasons.co.uk and her facebook page Selina Botham – Designs for all Seasons.

VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES March / April 2020

Help at Saturday morning football cafe Are you free on Saturday mornings between 9-10am?

If so, you could help run the small, friendly café, providing hot and cold drinks and snacks.

Qualifications aren’t required but you should be confident handling money and able to stand during your shift.

Help reduce plastic pollution in Surrey’s rivers

Whenever we are faced with a crisis in any area of life, reactions tend towards hype, then hysteria, with panic not far behind and all sense of perspective so easily gets lost. The undeniable trend to a warmer climate provides a clear example, with almost every weather event viewed with alarm. It sometimes seems that there is a belief that we never used to get ‘extreme’ weather.

The link to extreme weather from a warming climate is at best tenuous. Floods have made the news this winter, but these are extremely common events in this country. Some of the worst include those of spring 1947 (when days of heavy rain following a snowy winter led to catastrophic floods over a wide area), September 1968, when older readers will no doubt recall the severe flooding from the River Mole following a weekend of torrential rain, and the very wet autumn of 2000 when large areas of the country were underwater for days. There are numerous only slightly less severe examples from earlier years. And we should remember that changes in land-use (including building on flood plains) are present-day factors - not to mention a media looking for every hint of such events when some earlier ones received little coverage.

Bob Prichard

Vauxhall CORSA CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY

In the helter-skelter, bumper-to bumper jam-packed daily journeys you just have to make so uncomfortably to and from the office in the city, London or elsewhere, the dire need for some aid and ease on the wallet is crucial. And that’s where Vauxhall come into play.

The just released fifth generation all new five-door Corsa city car is weeny and stylish, fun to drive and a welcome relief from the worrying demands on the pocket as well as being pretty good looking, a stand-out among the over-populated mini car masses in what is a hotly contested market.

In short : it is a new dawning...Even for the leggy likes of six-footer me the cute Corsa is a comfy advantage, lighter, quicker, economical and not so much a handful as many of its rivals. Safety-first is a Vauxhall essential.

And that’s why they have fitted as standard a forward collision alert and adaptive headlights. And that’s not the lone benefit the forward planning technical backroom boys in their think tank have programmed into the newcomer’s welcome new dawning.

The interior has been totally redesigned to offer a sportier driving position and with a bit more space for passengers and their luggage. And that means it is a fair match for its principal rivals, the Ford Fiestas and VW Polos.

Initially, as intros to the updated, uprated range of

28 Looklocal Magazine - March 2020

Corsas there is a 74bhp, 1.2litre three cylinder petrol engined version and a turbo-charged 1.2 boosting it 99bhp plus a 99 bhp 1.5 litre diesel.

In every one of them the cabin benefits in the newcomer have been boosted with a more intuitive touchscreen, a sportier driving position and a sooper-dooper infotainment set-up. Overall you get the feeling the innards have been solidly constructed.

All in all this petite hatchback shapes up as the heralding of a value for money mode of transport to keep you cool, calm and collected in the frustratingly irritating daily commuting crawls into the city. And every Corsa is now fitted with alloy wheels as standard helping to lighten the car’s weight.

For my money the pick of the range is the turbocharged 1.2-litre three cylinder petrol user giving you 99bhp. It is perky and responsive and with enough boost to keep you in the melee whether at snail-pace in town or needing to overtake on the motorways.

Only time will tell whether or not the revamped debut challenger will shake up its well-established rivals. My bet is that it will...

WORLD

BOOK DAY 5 MARCH 2020

Celebrate World Book Day with Surrey Libraries!

Help us celebrate World Book Day on Thursday 5 March and ‘Share a Million Stories’ throughout March.

World Book Day is the world’s biggest campaign to provide every child and young person in the country with a book of their own and inspire them to read more. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator for success in life, more than family circumstances, educational background, or income. But it’s in decline.

So, what not visit your local library and make the most of this month’s buzz about books and reading?

Join us in supporting the global ‘Share a Million Stories’ campaign. Sharing stories together – anywhere, anytime – for just ten minutes a day has long-lasting effects on a child’s future and being read to is critical in igniting enthusiasm for reading, and creating lifelong readers.

How can you get involved?

Join your local library and borrow more books to capture your child’s new enthusiasm for reading.

Visit your local library and spend 10 minutes reading a story together.

Join us for one of our weekly Storytimes.

Ask about Children’s Chatterbooks reading groups.

Encourage your child’s class to organise a visit to your local library.

Find out how teenagers can inspire younger children by volunteering with Summer Reading Challenge.

Drop into your local library or visit surreycc.gov.uk/libraries to find out about our events.

READ

LIBRARY

Ditton Library have opportunities for volunteers to lead Rhymetime weekly on Wednesdays at 10:30 am and 11:30 am and a Children's Writing Group weekly on Saturday at 3:00 pm.

These are wonderful opportunities and lots of fun. If you're interested please ask in Dittons Library or find out more about these and other volunteering opportunities in Surrey Libraries at surreycc.gov.uk/libraries/volunteering-in-libraries.
