Welcome to Look Local in October!

It seems that autumn has arrived, then! Pumpkins, apples and blackberries, conkers and, dare I mention it, Christmas adverts on the TV already! How time flies, and it will soon be time to turn the clocks back again too :-( That’s on Sunday 30th October …

Guest writer Lauren Oats shares a wonderful article about a very talented teacher at her school. I simply don’t know how she fits all this achieving in around being a teacher too. What an amazing lady! I really enjoyed your writing, Lauren, I hope we hear from you again.

There’s lots going on locally this month, so do check our What’s On pages for information and updates on writing workshops, a Motorsports Day, half term fun, musical entertainment, a Festive Gift Fair and even an open mic night!

Plenty of regular features for you to check out too: seasonal advice from Auntie Planty in the garden feature, dog-related tips from Bruce at Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, a lovely autumn recipe from Waitrose and so much more!

That’s about it from me this month. I wish you all a great month.

Warmest regards,

Ros

Planning A GARDEN

Autumn is a brilliant time to plant. There are literally hundreds of thousands of different plants of different sizes & shapes & colours for a garden to choose from, but ironically, planting up a little garden takes more than a little thought.

I

f you have a big garden with plenty of space, then choosing plants is easy peasy – and when each and every one is fully grown, there will still be plenty of space. The same is not true, alas, for the small garden.

Anyone who knows me will agree that my front garden has been a bit of a challenge. When we bought our house, the front south-facing site was a sea of crazy paving, save two narrow strips carved out on either side of what was to be the front path, and a single (and rather stupid looking) square hole in front of the bay window.

With all that solid concrete around,

can you imagine how hot it all got in the height of summer.

I wanted a lawn and I also wanted this tiny garden to be full of colour and texture and to be interesting throughout the year. Also, I didn’t want to have to keep removing plant debris at the end of each season. That cut out all the pansies, busy lizzies, petunias, geraniums and all those other summer bedding plants sold by the lorry-load in garden centres.

What I always recommend in my gardening master-classes is that you ignore the information on the plant label at your peril. You will always be given the height and spread of a plant, and if you are lucky, you will

be given planting distances – the space you should allow between one plant and another so that it will grow obediently into the space provided.

I ended up choosing Potentilla fruticosa, Spiraea ‘Little Princess’, Convolvulus cneorum, Callicarpa bodineiri, Ceratostigma wilmottianum, Euphorbia wulfenii, various penstemons, Lavandula ‘Hidcote’ and some ground cover roses.

There was also an under-planting of miniature spring bulbs, which helped to add added sparkle early in the year.

Apart from the grass, this garden virtually looks after itself – job done!

ASK BRUCE:

DOGGY DUO

This month, Look Local reader Rona says she’s thinking of getting a second dog to join her 18-month-old spaniel, and asks what’s the best age gap between dogs in the same family?

Eighteen months to two years works well. I have two labradors and chose to get a second one when the first one was two. They get on really well and are at a similar stage in their life – like children at school – so they play together and leave each other alone when tired.

The most important thing to remember is that the age gap shouldn’t be too wide. For example, a young puppy in the same house as a canine old aged pensioner is not fair on the older dog. The puppy will be too full-on for its mature companion and the relationship could suffer.

Like older humans, aged dogs can get grumpy!

As well as age, however, temperament is also key. Most people have two or more dogs from the same breed, as they are likely to be compatible. Having said that, here at Bruce’s Doggy Day Care we also have dogs from the same family who are very different: for example, a large labradoodle and a mini dachshund that are best of friends.

You can also mix the sexes of the dogs as long as one has been neutered. Otherwise, you could end up with more than just two dogs!

Bruce Casalis is director & founder of Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, a multi-award winning business in Weybridge.

Six of the best...

I’m sure not everyone will agree with my choices, but just for fun this month, I thought I’d take the liberty of listing my six favourite albums of all time.

Pet Sounds – Beach Boys 1966 While Rubber Soul was Brian Wilson’s inspiration behind Pet Sounds, there’s little doubt that he not only matched but even topped the Beatles’ recording.

Stand-out tracks include God Only Knows and Wouldn’t It Be Nice.

What’s Going On – Marvin Gaye 1971 An album which revolutionised soul music with the beautifully textured voice of the brilliant Marvin Gaye. Smokey Robinson rates this as his favourite album of all time. That says it all, with songs such as the title track and Mercy Mercy Mercy Me. Lady Soul – Aretha Franklin 1968 There is little doubt that Aretha was the first lady of soul with this rapturous mix of spine-tingling soul and feelgood funk. Check out her own composition Ain’t No Way. Miles Davis – Miles Davis Kind of Blue 1959 The best of Miles, and that’s going some, as he exchanges licks with the legendary saxophonist John Coltrane. Want to get into jazz? Get into Kind of Blue Frank Sinatra – In The Wee Small Hours 1955 The all-time greatest break-up album, recorded in the aftermath of his split with Ava Gardner. Feel his pain.

Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA 1984 The Boss came up with 100 songs for this album, of which only 12 made the final cut. Thunderous anthems sit well next to reflective ballads which define this milestone in the life and times of a true American superstar Van Morrison – Astral Weeks 1968 Finally (for now), this list wouldn’t be complete without at least mention of Sir Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks, in which 23-year-old Van lets loose with his love of jazz and poetry. I particularly love Sweet Thing.

Well, after much to-ing and fro-ing, those are my 6.

How about yours?

losing it

Inspiration!

It’s funny how these things sneak up on us. Or so it seems.

One minute I was happily wearing my dangly earrings, the next I was poking and wincing as my earrings refused to slide through my earlobe. How did that suddenly happen to me?

T

he truth is that it didn’t happen to me. I made a series of choices that led to it happening.

I’d worn gold and pearl stud earrings since I was 13, only taking them off to clean or to change them if I was going somewhere special. Many years later, I started to play with different styles. It was fun. And it was a conscious act. I had to put them on and take them off every day. Okay, no big deal. I could do it in my sleep.

Until … I stopped putting them on first thing in the morning. Sometimes I’d forget to put them on all day. For days. After a while, I realized the holes in my earlobes were closing up, my hands, previously on autopilot for decades, couldn’t work out what to do, and it hurt!

There are more important things in life than earrings, I told myself, juggling work commitments, domestic responsibilities and deadlines. I’d deal with it later when I had more time.

One day, I realized I’d run out of time. If I didn’t want to forego my lovely dangly earrings in the future, I had to change something in my life now.

Taking the long view Often, when we look at a situation through the wide-angle lens of today, we see a range of options that makes it hard to decide what to do: This, or That? Now, or Later? When I feel like it, or No matter what?

When we look at the same situation through the telephoto lens of the future, we might see a more stark landscape of consequences: Can or Can’t? Have or Haven’t? Possible or Impossible?

Fussing around with earrings might have seemed too trivial (or painful!) to spend time on, but when I saw the alternative as losing something I valued in the future, the choice was clear. It’s the same with skipping regular

Becoming aware - What are you so close to, that you can’t even see it as a potential problem?

- What warning signs are you ignoring in your life?

- What excuses do you make to yourself for not heeding them?

- What actions do you need to take now, to avoid looking back on today with regret?

The conditions of our tomorrows are built on the actions of our todays.

Rebecca Rowe

FROM ROWER TO SECOND ROW

by Lauren Oates

R

ebecca Rowe, a local PE teacher and rowing coach at Sir William Perkins’s School, rowed for Great Britain – gaining a Commonwealth Games Silver Medal for Wales in 2006, as well as a European Championship Bronze for Great Britain. She also has world titles in surf lifesaving and swam for Wales. More recently, she has represented Wales as a rugby player in the Six Nations. Consequently, I took it upon myself to get to know a little bit more about her. Due to her incredibly modest nature, I have had to do a fair bit of research to unveil the exact extent of her sporting excellence.

How did her athletic career begin? As a ten-year-old, when she had taken great joy in playing in the sea, her parents had feared for her safety and sent her to a swimming club which led her to surf lifesaving.

Rebecca is driven by a passion for challenging herself. She was keen to remind me that for every individual, the extent to which they push themselves will be unique to them. One of her greatest regrets was that, by always aspiring to achieve more, it was at times easy to overlook smaller successes.

After a devastating back injury which ended her rowing career, she took up rugby in 2010. From this, I think many of us can learn a lot from Rebecca, as she managed to overcome the great disappointment of not being able to row in the Olympics, which she had been on track to do, and to find other ways to enjoy sport. However, she did highlight that everyone has bad sessions,

races and seasons, and ‘it’s natural to be annoyed at ourselves, but the important thing to remember is afterwards, we need to move on and keep improving ourselves, rather than dwelling on it.’

Since 2010, she has played for Harlequins, London Welsh and finally Richmond. After being unable to attend Welsh rugby team trials, due to work commitments, Rebecca bravely rang up the head coach and managed to arrange her own personal trial which resulted in selection. If there is a stereotype that females lack self-confidence, then this is a perfect lesson for those fulfilling these defined roles. It demonstrates that we should have more confidence in ourselves and take risks. In this example, it is proven that the result can be incredibly rewarding, even if we do risk potentially embarrassing ourselves.

What weekly training is required of her?

3 weight sessions 2 rugby-specific sessions 2 fitness/conditioning sessions What does she enjoy about rugby?

Rebecca enjoys the team aspect of the sport and finds it in keeping with her competitive nature. Her ‘favourite

memory so far was beating France a couple of weeks ago [February 2016] because I was part of a historic win, as Wales hasn’t beaten them since 2008.’

Moreover, ‘Wales has made some big improvements over the last year and we have now qualified for the World Cup [which will be in 2017]’.

She argues that, with good organisation, it is definitely possible to excel in sport as well as in our day-to-day lives.

Remember though, ‘rest is also key.’ She encourages us to find a sport we really enjoy and keep challenging ourselves.

She argues that ultimately, anyone who wants to play rugby should definitely look into it, as it is accessible to people of all shapes and sizes, which was a surprise to her. initially. She suggests that if there is anyone who would like to play rugby, they can find girls’ or mixed teams near to them via the RFU website.

When I ask what her future ambitions are for her sporting career, she throws me an exasperated grin and modestly protests ‘Lauren, I’m getting old!’ I can’t realistically see this incredible and inspirational athlete’s career ending any time soon, so keep a look out for her.

CAR REVIEW

Ted Macauley test drives the new seven-seater 5008 MPV and lets us know what it has to offer...

A

rash promise after too much bubbly at Trophy Wife’s birthday dinner party left me facing the problem of entertaining seven of us to a day out at the Formula One British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The sport’s mighty supremo and considerate kindheart, Bernie Ecclestone, a long-time friend, eased the getting-IN issue with a blessing of VIP passes. It was the getting-THERE that presented the next crucial mountain to climb. And here, at very short notice, Peugeot’s ever-patient and eager-to-please fleet organiser, Craig Morrow, kindly answered my pleas and came to my rescue with the loan of the perfect answer to the transport of my masses to the Midlands showpiece circuit.

At his suggestion, it came in the ample shape of a seven-seater 5008 MPV, the company’s roomiest car, the perfect solution for a couple of hours’ drive in total comfort for all in a madcap dash up the motorways to the scene of my treat. Six footers me and my two mates and our five-feet-nothing wives were all equally comfy and cosy in a quite

posh, roomy and airy cabin, much more spacious than you would imagine when you walk up to the car, before stretching in its high seats with their commanding views.

The third row of seats, generally a wee bit of a squeeze in rival motors to say the least, was a surprise of uncramped space and as practical as can be. Incidentally, as an aside of info, if you have a Trophy Wife like mine who empties her wardrobe into suitcases galore to go on holiday and wants to turn the car into a van with just two places up front, driver and passenger, all the other middle and back row seats can be removed.

The whole of the latest, face-lifted 5008 is undergoing a rejuvenation process, leaving its outdated ancestors and their tighter space offerings and spartan style in the new offering’s airstream. It is both refined and practical and is generally an absolute cracker of a thoroughly pleasing family all-rounder that most certainly gives value for money in an MPV marketplace that abounds with rivals, some better, but not all of them as proficient and money-saving. Sure, the ride could be a little better, somewhat

less firm, as we all found on our trek to Silverstone, but I know Peugeot will be working on that, and it is a minor snag that will be resolved with their level of expertise as it is right now, with customer satisfaction high on their agenda.

Regular readers who know all about my skinflint background will not be a bit surprised to hear my glee, and my absence of tut-tuts, at the fuel economics so generously served up by this smart-looking 5008. I would go for the 1.6HD diesel which I reckoned returned around 65 mpg on our dash up and down to the BGP - and for such a big car, loaded, that is an exceptional and blessed return for reluctant walletopeners like myself.

Specification: Engine 1.6 BlueHDi Active. BHP 120.MPG 65.7. Speed 0-60 in 12.2secs. Top speed 114mph. Price £23,720.Warranty 3 years/60,000 miles.

For Your Eyes Only. My spies tell me that, behind the scenes and in strict secrecy, Peugeot has been redesigning and making an even smarter 5008 for a release next spring. Remember who told you....
