Lest we forget

November is a time of Remembrance and we are supporting The Royal British Legion’s mission to recognise the unseen service of the Armed Forces past and present.

R

emembrance unites people of all faiths, cultures, and backgrounds but it’s also deeply personal. It could mean wearing a poppy in November, before Remembrance Sunday. It could mean joining your local community commemorations. Or it could mean taking a moment on your own to reflect.

In every act of remembrance, we honour the memory of the fallen and pledge to care for the living. Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community. During WW1, much of the fighting took place in Western Europe. The countryside was blasted and bombed, turning beautiful landscapes to barren bleak and barren scenes except for one striking

exception - the bright red Flanders poppy. These resilient flowers flourished, growing in the thousands upon thousands, symbolising peace.

A different – and very visible – red presence recently has been Extinction Rebellion. These climate campaigners

have been dividing opinion across the nation (attracting some typically bombastic language from our Prime Minister), raising awareness of our planet’s plight. We’re keen to promote the efforts of eco-conscious individuals out there such as Guildford’s Carolyn Ledge, founder of Naturally Wrapt whose easy tips & advice are well worth seeking out to embrace a less plastic-heavy Christmas.

For this and much more, please visit www.roundandabout.co.uk where your youngsters’ entries into our story competition are also welcome before 15th November. Also visit www. britishlegion.org.uk for lots of ways to remember the sacrifices of our fallen.

S TAR Q&A

Union Jack Liz Nicholls chats to globally successful musician & dad Jack Savoretti, 36, who has just released his third hit album Singing To Strangers

Q.

You’ve worked with truly amazing musicians. Who would be your dream collaboration? “I have! Seeing my name next to Bob Dylan’s on one of my records is one of my most surreal highlights; his was the first concert I ever went to, aged 17.

Collaborating with lovely Kylie was a pinnacle, too, and working with eccentric, beautiful Mika on this album. Connecting with people, for me, is the best thing about music. Being in a room with someone who has this gift is incredible. My dream collab would’ve been Johnny Cash; that amazing voice.”

Q. How do you listen to music? “I have a beautiful 1960s record player. It doesn’t offer great quality but it gives a wonderful sound, if you know what I mean. My current favourite record is Chet Baker. I also have a nice Bose system for taking it up a notch.

My earliest memory of music was the school run and it’s funny because now with my own children that’s the time we all share music, too. My fouryear-old son reminded me the other day how great the Ghostbusters song is and my daughter is a little obsessed with ABBA. I wasn’t an ABBA fan but she’s slowly converting me – the songs are brilliant!”

Q. What surprises you most about parenthood?

“I think how much you feel. I spent most of my twenties numbing myself. The love, the fear, the worry, the desperation they go to sleep... it’s 8 | NOVEMBER 2019

overwhelming. They don’t know they have this magic trick at first until they figure out how to use it against you. I’m eternally grateful.”

Q. Being of European heritage, how does Brexit make you feel? “Sad. It’s a shame that we seem to have trivialised one of the greatest peace treaties of all time – certainly of the last two centuries – and I hate the divisive language being used. I heard the Prime Minister use the word ‘surrender’ and thought that was cheap. The EU isn’t without dysfunction and negotiating changes would’ve been good. But this feels like a lose-lose situation.”

Q. Does November’s season of Remembrance mean much to you? “Yes; a great deal. I think we need to remember the sacrifices previous generations made for us more, especially in school and with what’s happening in politics at the moment. From a personal point of view, I think of my grandfathers. One was Polish and Jewish; he married a German woman young and escaped to Paris and then London. My father’s father fought against Fascism to stop his country being torn apart by divisive language [in Italy a street bears the Savoretti name]. I’m fascinated by that generation’s stories. That’s how complex peace is – ironically you sometimes have to fight for it. Many men and women suffered and lost their lives in the name of peaceful, liberal values which I hope endure.”

Guildford’s Carolyn Ledger explains more about Naturally Wrapt – the planet-friendly business she launched this year, in addition to her job as a SEN teacher

A

t the end of last year, after realising Sellotape was a single-use plastic, I decided to opt for plasticfree gift wrapping and to encourage others to do the same.

Sourcing real eco-friendly products was not easy. Some labelled “natural” or “jute” are actually entirely manmade! Others are natural but contain near-invisible plastic thread. And the products that are out there are spread far and wide making them hard to find and costly to deliver.

I was undeterred but began thinking this might put off other plastic-free wrappers. What we needed was one source of reasonably priced plasticfree wrapping products, shipped in

plastic-free packing... After grappling with the computer for a few weeks this became a reality in February!

I was surprised how few people knew washi/masking/rice tape was even an

alternative so took to social media. I post pictures of “Life after Sellotape” showing “sustainable choices”.

Right now, Naturally Wrapt is a hobby (no big margins) but that’s OK. I enjoy promoting environmental gain for the planet over profit. The point is to raise awareness about choices (we need to think more about using what we already have). Sending orders plasticfree has attracted small businesses to ask for advice (FYI: gummed tape is the way forward!). I’m working with two refill businesses – check out Noel’s Farm Shop in Sutton Green and – if you’re over that way – Packaging Not Included in Marlborough. Who knows where this will take me next?

Guildford model and songwriter Elena Ramona suffered with anxiety, depression and weight issues as a teenager. Now, having won a place in the finals of Ms Great Britain 2020, she hopes to inspire others to follow their dreams with a healthy body image. Elena tells us more...

Breaking the mould

I

did not have a healthy relationship with myself growing up. I’ve always suffered from anxiety and when I was younger I had a distorted image of myself. It’s taken a long time to be kind to myself and enjoy that amazing chocolate cake without feeling guilty while keeping a healthy balance.

Growing up I would see women in magazines and on TV representing my generation who I could not relate to. This made me question career path for a long time. My biggest I would love to my regret is that I let these feelings consume be a role model me as a teen for too long. At the age of 22 I decided to ignore the voice in my & inspiration head telling me I wasn’t “good enough” or “slim enough” and began to take test shots for a portfolio with a friend to kickstart my modelling career and gain some much-needed confidence. Being photographed made me feel powerful and I continued to get work with local photographers and clothing lines.

“

The main reason I pursued my career as a model was because I would love to be a role model and inspiration to anyone in my position as a teenager now. I want to be the person I needed when I was a teen years ago. In the summer I decided to 14 | NOVEMBER 2019

apply to Ms Great Britain in order to spread my message internationally about how important a healthy lifestyle is, both physically and mentally.

Amazingly I made the final 25 in my category and I am so excited to meet all the other women again and share our stories and experiences with the world in a very cut-throat industry.

I want my story – and my entry into such a competition – to spark hope in someone who doesn’t feel “good enough”.

Times have changed and now Miss Great Britain and other pageants like this are promoting all women from every walk of life, any shape or size and I am so grateful to live in an era that does just this. To win this competition would be an honour.

However, to be given the opportunity to get this far and raise awareness for such a current and important cause is a privilege.  Elena’s sponsor – Mary Ann Weeks Aveda Guildford – is delighted to be supporting her quest for success. The team say: “We have really enjoyed sharing the Aveda brand with her, which is not only ethical, but also aligns with the forwardthinking, strong-minded women we see taking the stage in the Miss GB competition.”

WSBH Garden Makeover

I thought I’d share the most magical horticultural experience with my readers.

I

t was my pleasure to be asked to help create a garden for the Woking & Sam Beare hospice.

Many volunteers and I united to transform a derelict patch of ground into a beautiful garden for patients and staff to enjoy. The garden is created for wildlife with bee -and butterfly-friendly plants and habitats for birds and invertebrates throughout. It’s named Wildwood after Woking’s Paul Weller’s best selling album.

Derelict patch of land This was my first view! Not a good for hospice residents or their loved ones. Many of my team, hospice volunteers, members of the Rotary club, Surrey county council and the benefactors contributed and donated their time.

Finished garden

Type 1 Diabetes - Food for thought...

T

ype 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease.

The body’s immune system destroys the beta cells in the pancreas responsible for producing insulin. Insufficient insulin hinders tissues from absorbing glucose (sugar), leading to dangerously high blood sugars. Left untreated, this can lead to very serious health complications. T1D occurrence is growing at 3% a year. The risk of developing it is 10 times greater in children with a parent with the condition. Coeliac disease and T1D share common genetic predispositions, so the conditions often co-exist.

As T1D is an autoimmune disease, it is unsurprising to find a number of potential triggers and exacerbators, including genetics, when cow’s milk and gluten are introduced into the diet, maternal diet (gluten content and vitamin D status), infections (viruses are a known trigger of autoimmunity), stress, toxic load, the balance of the gut micro flora, digestive system health and the integrity of the gut barrier.

It is nearly 15 years since the concept that autoimmunity develops via a complex interaction between our genetic base and our environment was first postulated. The single largest point of interaction between these takes place in the gut – the small intestine has the surface area of a tennis court.

Our genes are set at conception, but our environment (dietary choices plus viral/bacterial/toxin and stress load) is, to a large extent controllable, as is the health and permeability (leakiness) of the gut. Current thinking and clinical experience show that it is often possible to arrest the development of autoimmunity and even reverse it. “...Once the autoimmune process is activated, it is not self-perpetuating; rather, it can be modulated or even reversed.” Professors Fasano and SheaDonohue, Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology 2005 The destruction of the pancreatic cells is gradual (although symptoms may appear suddenly). So there is a window of opportunity to evaluate environmental triggers and digestive system imbalances that may both trigger and exacerbate this condition. Food for thought...

Venues were opening with more gig spots than punk bands to fill them, and so we had a chance. One of them was Eric’s in Liverpool, while gigging there we also produced a single – Electricity – with Factory Records.

Do you still enjoy touring? “The main reason we tour is because we love to perform, I have known ho doesn’t know our two of the band members since before I electricity comes from was a teenager. We all tour in the same power stations? In the vehicle and only have one dressing room, 1970s, the German unlike some bands who meet up when We love to power station, perhaps better they go on-stage, and the audience perform & tour can spot that.” Speaking of travelling known as the pop group Kraftwerk, were the first band to popularise in one vehicle in one vehicle, what type of music do you listen to? “That is a bit of a lottery, electronic music.

University challenge

Shelley Richards, Katie Francis, Lianne Knight, Mollie Neale and Neil Wibberley of the University of Surrey’s finance team walked 56km for the charity Ultrachallenge.

T

hey took on the challenge for Cystic Fibrosis, Air Ambulance, Royal Marsden, Starlight and the Royal Surrey County Hospital.

Their practice walks covered the area around Box Hill, Newlands Corner, Frensham Ponds and the area around Pitch Hill. Then, starting at 7.20am the team started at Eastbourne, which then quickly elevated to the glorious views at Beachy Head.

Neil Wibberley says “After seeing the other 2,000 challengers around us, all walking for many other great charities, it was evident that, like us, everyone had a story, a reason for walking for their chosen charity.”

The next stop was for lunch but only after the ups and downs of the Seven Sisters before heading inland along the river to the beautiful village of Alfiston. Then the terrain steeply climbed to the top of the South Downs, where the wind struck. “By the time Brighton was in view the darkness had fell and the team was

By this time we only saw a handful of other challengers while walking through Brighton. By the time the 55km sign came in view, everyone knew the end was close. It was a fantastic feeling crossing the line and picking up a finishers medal.”

Liane Knight said “One of the most challenging, painful (oh the blisters!) but incredible things I have ever done!”

Neil added “Despite preparing, blisters appeared near the end but despite that, the longest walk I’ve undertaken even in Scouting, I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a challenge.” www.ultrachallenge.com/southcoast-challenge/

PAINTING & DECORATING | BATHROOMS & KITCHENS We met Justin to entirely refurbish our 5-bedroom house including staircase, structural “work, flooring, bathrooms etc. He was from the start very reassuring and took time to listen to us about our project and our vision, which he supplemented with his own professional experience.

Justin has a very keen eye for design and his attention to detail has saved us from mistakes or changes further down the line. The friendly team and contractors have always been polite, clean, on time, and helpful beyond requirements.

We never felt worried about leaving the house and project in his very capable hands and he has always been transparent about the schedule and budget - there has never been a bad surprise. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elphinston Wells for any building projects. – Testimonial from recent client in Surrey
