Owls at Arundel Castle By Arundel historian Mark Phillips Eagle Owls at Arundel Castle - 1807 - By John Nixon

From as far back as 1750, American Horned Owls were kept in an aviary situated within the ruined keep of Arundel castle. So famous had these eight occupants become that when one of them died in 1859, having allegedly lived for some 100 years (although one more than suspects a little ‘historical license’ may have been used here), the West Sussex Gazette featured an article on its passing.

“A very distinguished occupant of the fortress of Arundel Castle expired on Thursday week. It was a very, very old owl. Many years ago, some very fine specimens of the Horned Owl were introduced into the keep by the then Lord Arundel; and their descendants have continued to occupy a place in this ancient building up to the present period.”

In the late 1820s, an elderly gentleman on his way through Arundel decided to visit the castle keep. He was very impressed with the owls but the most solemn and proud-looking specimen appeared to engross the whole attention of the visitor.

“He’s a sagacious fellow,” the visitor said to the keeper. “Very, sir, very. We always call him the Chancellor.” “The what? The Chancellor?” “Yes Sir. Either that or Lord Eldon. He is the wisest of all of them.” The visitor was highly amused by his. The visitor being the namesake of himself – the venerable and learned Lord Eldon - Chancellor.

I will leave you with my favourite story about the owls. One that is well known to the castle guides and one that I was told when I was a small child.

It is said that the Duke was having breakfast at the castle with some very important dignitaries with halfway through he was disturbed by a polite cough from his Butler. “Yes, did you want to say something Jenkinson?” “If it pleases your Grace, I thought you may like to know that Lord Thurlow has just laid an egg!”

The article was over 600 words and concluded with: “Four kings have passed away since this owl first saw light, and many Dukes of Norfolk have been numbered with the dead. A Wellington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Nelson and Washington have all fretted out their lives on the world’s stage within this period.”

The recent passing of this feathery octogenarian, who must have hatched out during the reign of George II, left just seven remaining in the castle keep parliament. So long-lived were they that only six had been added to their small family. They had become very popular over the years as they looked down on visitors with dignity and aloofness. Were they aware of their important connection with the ancient house of Howard, one wonders?

Formally it was the custom to name all the owls after a famous or infamous dignitary of the law or Government, it would seem in total ignorance of the sex of the bird. The most recent passing of one of the castle’s sharp-beaked inhabitants had been named ‘Lord Thurlow’, after a former Lord Chancellor. Although blind for the past 25 years, ‘Lord Thurlow’ had been carefully tended by the keeper and had finally died from physical exhaustion.

Computer Care

Using the Cloud?

by Alan Stainer

One of the great shifts in computing right now is the transition to the cloud.

‘The cloud’ refers to any service where you log in to a remote server. I use the cloud all the time.

It still surprises me when I hear people say they don’t trust the cloud and that they would rather keep their things safe in one place on their PC. So let’s talk about the trust issue. The main reason given is the fear that someone else may be able to hack into your account and get at all of your things. The sad truth is that as soon as you connect to the internet, you are exposing your device to malicious attacks and malware which can indeed rob you of your personal information and files. That is why it is so important to use a good anti malware program and to make sure you keep everything up to date. When it comes to your login details for your online accounts, there are ways to protect them.

1. Make sure your password is complex using a combination of letters, numbers and special characters.

2. Don’t use easily deciphered words or phrases.

3. Enable 2 step verification. That will stop anyone from logging into your account without also having access to your phone. www.alansitsolutions.com

Restaurant Review

The Burger Shop Co. Arundel Lively new restaurant & cocktail bar in Arundel High Street.

Review by editor Kris Thomas, dessert review Lucas (age 7)

The spacious, bright dining room was busy and lively on the grey Saturday lunchtime that I visited with my family. My young boys were especially excited at the prospect of a restaurant wholly devoted to burgers and the animated atmosphere and bright comic strip style wall art enhanced their anticipation of a fun lunch.

Our waiter Dean, talked us through the menu and the specials, explaining that the ’Elvis burger’ (steak patty, peanut butter, blueberry jam, bacon, coleslaw, lettuce and tomato) sounded ‘wrong’ but was “oh so good”. Dean also pointed out the interesting array of cocktails, they have the largest range of spirits, including over 20 gins, in the area and the only professional mixologist in Arundel.

The restaurant also serves over 30 craft brews including lagers, pale ales, red ales, Stout/Porter, Cider and fruit beer. Of greater interest on this particular visit were the Ice Cream Sodas and Shakes, hmm, does this count as dessert?

We started with some Hot and Spicy Wings (whew, fiery! Yes the clue is definitely in the name here, mouth and tongue burn pleasantly) and some BBQ Wings, gorgeous, sweet and sticky. Happily we were given plenty of napkins.

Unsurprisingly there is a good, but not overwhelming, choice of burgers, including ‘Rooster’, Buttermilk marinated fried chicken, house slaw, pickles, lettuce, aioli and a vegetarian option amusingly named, ’Why Bother?’ with Halloumi, Portobello mushroom, lettuce, tomato, mint and coriander relish. All The Burger Shop Co burgers are 100% aged British steak with no additives, made to their own recipe. My boys opted for a standard cheese burger with anything resembling fresh veg removed prior to reaching their plates! I chose the Sergeant Pepper which was a juicy steak burger topped with beef-tomato, caramelised onions, Portobello mushroom melted Cheddar cheese and served with a dinky little jug of peppercorn sauce. The buns are brioche style (also their own recipe), lightly toasted and our table had two bottles of Heinz tomato ketchup, my children treat it like gravy given half a chance. Jeff picked the ‘Sweet Home Avocado’ (guacamole and Harissa mayo) which he described as ‘smooth and creamy’ with a chilli tang. My mum chose the cheese and bacon and complimented the burger highly saying it was ‘nearly as good as one of John’s’ (my late step-father, ex-butcher and burger aficionado). We also ordered three different types of chips, which came topped with various rich sauces (the bacon fries were amazing), onion straws and house coleslaw. They also serve sweet potato and plain skin-on fries.

Being a seven year old boy, my eldest son Lucas is highly qualified to review the desserts. Here follows his appraisal; I had a warm Chocolate Brownie with chocolate sauce and ice-cream on the top which was melting. The Brownie contained fudge-like bits that were also really tasty. I don’t think I chose the most healthy option but it was really yummy. The only disappointing bit about my lunch was that my parents only allowed me to have one can of fizzy Sprite!

Mummy’s waffle looked delicious too but she ate it all herself! The atmosphere in the restaurant was like a birthday party and we all enjoyed it. My brother and I liked the colouring and the waiters were really helpful.

I would really like to go back there again soon.

The Burger Shop Co opened last November and is a joint venture by father and son, Ian & Oliver Fricker.

Win tickets to ’Aladdin’ Alexandra Theatre, Bognor Regis Pick any date between 12th Dec and 2nd Jan 2018 A cracking story, an exotic setting and plenty of magic and sparkle, Aladdin is this year’s spectacular pantomime at Bognor’s Alexandra Theatre. Jam-packed with comedy, song, dance, romance and audience participation, there is something for everyone in this sumptuous production, which tells the tale of a beautiful princess, a brave hero, a dastardly villain and a host of comical characters.

Performed by a top-class professional cast, including Christopher Marlowe (celebrating his 29th year in panto!) as Widow Twanky, tickets are flying out of the box office faster than a turbo-charged magic carpet!

Director Bev Berridge said: “Aladdin is a terrific story with all the much-loved pantomime elements, including hilarious slapstick. The Alexandra Theatre has a reputation for putting on a great panto, but this year’s is going to be our best yet.”

Sussex Snippets A recent South Downs Society (SDS) meeting welcomed a local, more integrated approach to the town’s traffic problems than relying on a big new bypass; as local residents joined speakers from regional and national organisations in questioning the evidence submitted in their current public consultation

by Highways England. The meeting was chaired by the Policy Officer for SDS, Steve Ankers, who concluded, “We need to look closely at what the actual problems are that we’re hoping to solve … from the evidence that Highways England have put forward the grand bypass options don’t score well. Arundel and the National Park deserve better.” 01798 875073 enquiries@southdownssociety.org.uk Already over 15million people live in local authorities, which are adopting or have adopted the “20’s plenty where people live” policy – where people have changed their behaviour to drive slower in residential streets and where people walk and cycle.

The guidance has been welcomed by Storringtonbased social enterprise company Health Champions, which has been running free cookery classes across West Sussex for over seven years with course leaders having taught more than 1,000 people to cook and eat more healthily, an experience, which is lifechanging for many participants. www.healthchampions.co.uk info@health-champions.co.uk 01444 318649 The leaders of both Adur District and Worthing Borough Council are urging the transport secretary to visit the area in a bid to find a long-term solution for the A27, following on from the Councils sending the “strongest possible message” in officially opposing consultation plans to ‘improve’ the major east-west trunk road. This summer Highways England unveiled only one £69 million option to try and combat congestion on the stretch through Lancing and Worthing, but, in a letter sent today to transport secretary Chris Grayling, the leaders of both local authorities wholeheartedly rejected the proposal and are calling for the government to do more to improve this crucial section of infrastructure. www.highways.gov.uk/a27Worthing-and-Lancing.

It has to be 5a There are winners and losers in any debate, and the switch of support, of people and councils to Route 5a over routes 3 (the old Pink/Blue) or 1 - has consequences for some communities. Arun District Council’s Cabinet supported Route 5a, as did West Sussex County Council’s scrutiny meeting and most parish councils north of the Downs. As I write we await the decisions of Littlehampton and Arundel Town Councils.

I have supported and campaigned for the Pink-Blue route since my election in 2003, but during the debate it became evident that there were obstacles to choosing the route. Green campaigners lobbied successfully for the South Downs National Park (SDNP) to be pushed south of the existing A27, and for Tortington Common be designated as Ancient Woodland.

SDNP has objected to all three options: Option 1 would destroy 5.5 hectares of Ancient Woodland, Option 3, 26 hectares and Option 5a, 6 hectares. But Highways England has committed to replacing Ancient Woodland at a ratio of 30 to 1. So adopting 5a would mean replanting 182 hectares of new indigenous forest – greater than the whole of Arundel.

This was all explained in a briefing by Highways England, but the real crux comes in the fast track, infra-

structure planning instrument being used in order to start building the bypass in 2020. The Secretary of State has a legal and binding duty not to go ahead with a route that cuts through Ancient Woodland if there is a less damaging alternative. Hence, as Tortington Common is now Ancient Woodland, the So S has to opt for option 5a.

So the Green campaigners, some from Binsted, who successfully lobbied for Tortington Common to be redesignated to Ancient Woodland will reap the results of that decision by having a bypass built close to the village.

Politically it would have been better for me to sit on the fence between Option 3 and Option 5a. But I prefer to come out and say what I mean, so I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that if we are to have an offline bypass then it will have to be 5a. One caveat is, I think we need a junction at Ford road to alleviate Yapton Lane traffic, I may lose votes for that decision at the next election, but I have always tried to give an honest view. Paul Dendle is Ward member for Arundel and Walberton Email: cllr.paul.dendle@arun.gov.uk.

It cannot be 5a

Dear Editor I am would like to register my unreserved objection to Option 5A for the Arundel Bypass. This option would completely destroy an especially beautiful, peaceful area of Sussex which sits within the South Downs National Park.

Binsted as is stands (and has done for hundreds of years) would be destroyed; 4 of its 38 houses would be cut off from the rest and 3 homes would be 75m from the new road, which would tower over them on a high embankment. This embankment would be 7 to 9 metres tall and slice through the much-loved wooded and farming landscape of Binsted.

Binsted currently has thriving wildlife diversity and links important corridors for habitats so that this diversity may be sustained. Option 5A would destoy this and probably lead to the extinction of the local dormouse population to name but one.

Arundel’s traffic needs a holistic approach with improved public transport and better facilities for nonmotorised users. Option 5A is a total waste of tax payers money with a massive environmental cost. .I cannot think of any benefit to Option 5A and can only think of the negative impact that it would have on Binsted and the surrounding areas. This must not be allowed to go ahead - we will all be poorer for it.

Once this beautiful place has gone - it will be gone forever. Karen Mason (by email)

Charity Himalayas Trek

MP Backs British Farmers

Littlehampton resident Chloe Dayneswood will undertake the challenge of a lifetime next year when she embarks on a trek through the Indian Himalayas to raise money for local hospice St Barnabas House.

The trek, which will take place on 18-28 October 2018, will see a team of 50 trekkers journey through the spiritual heart of Northern India, home to the Dalai Lama and the centre of the Tibetan community in the foothills of the Himalayas. Chloe has very personal reason for taking on the trek for St Barnabas House as her late husband, Ben Millard, was cared for by the hospice at the end of his life. Chloe and her family have done lots of fundraising and have already presented the hospice with a cheque for £13,934.90!

Arundel & South Downs MP Nick Herbert has pledged to ‘Back British Farming’ at a National Farmers’ Union (NFU) event held in Westminster in September.

The campaign recognises the vital contribution farmers make to the economy, food production and the countryside.

According to the NFU farming in the Arundel & South Downs constituency contributes £41.8 million to the local economy and provides 2,244 jobs, as well as playing a vital role in maintaining the countryside.

Nick Herbert said: “I’m delighted to support the NFU’s campaign. I will always back British farming, which is the lynchpin of the countryside we love, and this is a particularly important time to do so as we leave the EU and shape a domestic agricultural policy.”

NFU South East Regional Director William White said: “The support of politicians is crucial in helping agriculture to receive the best deal possible after Brexit.”

Chloe & family present St Barnabas with a cheque for £13,934

The scheme involves the Government providing an equity loan of up to 20% of the purchase price towards the cost of a new build property, therefore reducing the size of mortgage a buyer needs. The Government then shares in any increase, or decrease, in the value of the home.

This scheme is only available on new build property.

Just like new cars, new build properties lose some of their value as soon as they are ‘driven off the forecourt’. So whilst there maybe lifestyle reasons to buy new, from a value for money point of view you are usually better off buying second hand. Of course, over the long term property is usually an appreciating asset whereas a new car is almost always a depreciating asset. This initial dip in the value of new build homes will be particularly problematic to those who use the scheme to get onto the property ladder and hoping to take a step up in a couple of years’ time.

They will need house prices to rise just to maintain the value of the equity they put in.

Some argue that the Government has no role interfering in the housing market in this way. If the scheme works and prices remain stable or increase then millions of people who cannot afford to buy will remain unable to do so.

The argument continues that without Government support prices will fall and become more affordable to millions more people and eventually the market will reach an equilibrium.

The final concern is what happens when the scheme eventually ends? As well as losing buyers using the scheme, there could be a flood of property onto the market as people seek to repay the Government’s loan, which could lead to a perfect storm making the 2007 crash look like a calm breeze.

Everyone has a story to tell

To your family, your life story will be as interesting as any celebrity autobiography. By Helen Gregory.

Many of us regret not knowing more about our parents and grandparents. Photographs are fine while they’re still around to explain who’s who, but will a dusty album mean anything to future generations?

Writing your life story can help your children or grandchildren to learn more about you. You might not have been famous, adventurous or influential but your family and friends will find your story as interesting as any celebrity autobiography. Everyone has a story to

tell; no one has had a completely ‘normal’ life. Quite often, your nearest and dearest only know about the bit of your life that they’ve played a part in.

Writing your life story can heal past wounds, deal with unfinished business or even reveal family secrets – and the result will inevitably become a family heirloom.

If you fancy having a go yourself, you could start by penning a short memoir, which doesn’t have to include every detail of your life - it’s a story from a life, a snapshot of a particular time, which focuses on a key event, such as your childhood, hobby or a particular relationship.

But if you want to tackle your whole life story – an autobiography - start by selecting up to 20 key life events. List all the important and not-so-importantbut-memorable things that have happened during your life and think about how you can link them to create a narrative.

It’s not always a good idea to start with your earliest childhood memory and move through your story chronologically; it can be more helpful to make a list of turning points in your life, big decisions and significant events. You can then flesh out the story by remembering why you made those decisions, and your feelings or regrets about the path you took.

Before you start to write, do plenty of research. You might think you remember everything that has happened over the years, but look back through old diaries and photographs, listen to music, or visit an old address or school to trigger memories. Asking yourself some key questions, such as who the significant people in your life have been, can also help jog memories and remember people that might not have come up in linear recollections. And once you start, you’ll often find that one memory will spark another.

Write down the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given, favourite pets or most memorable meals and this will get you thinking about certain periods of your life and the important people in them. It’s also satisfying and even cathartic to record your values, best qualities and religious beliefs as these are things your family and friends will enjoy remembering or even discovering, often for the first time.

It’s important to include your feelings and reactions to what’s happened in your life; remember that your book isn’t just about dates and facts, it’s an emotional story. Description is key, so this means more than just listing events. Include all the senses: what could you hear? Smell? What did you feel? Writing about wonderful meals or favourite songs of the time can evoke powerful memories, allowing you to remember details and give your writing more depth and

feeling. A bit of dialogue can also work well, if you particularly remember what was said and by whom as this can bring a story to life - but don’t get bogged down in unnecessary detail that slows down the narrative.

Once you’ve collected a number of scenes, you might find that there is one central theme emerging and driving your life story such as perseverance, gratitude or regret, or a combination of these – which is the main message you want to convey.

Decide on the structure and create summaries for each chapter before you start to write. And once you do, it’s important to choose a style and tense and stick to it.

It’s more common to write in the past tense and first person, however, it’s sometimes nice to finish your book with a certain amount of reflection and using the present tense to talk about your life as it is now, to bring your story up to date.

And remember that a life story isn’t just about you, it’s about other people, so talk to parents, siblings and other key people for their take on events. While you might not remember every detail about a certain time, family members or friends might, while they can also give you a completely different perspective. Once you get started, it’s also not uncommon to realise deciding what to include can be challenging, maybe for fear of upsetting relatives or even boring them!

30 Life Questions to help kick-start your life story writing What was your childhood like?

Who were the important people growing up and what was their impact on you?

What were the circumstances of your leaving home?

What were the big turning points in your life?

What lessons has life taught you?

What skills or talents do you have and how did you acquire them?

What has been the biggest sadness in your life?

The whole experience can even make you feel quite vulnerable and emotional. Penning and publishing a book can also be daunting; while everyone has a story to tell, many of us need help telling it. Why not start out by imagining you’re writing a letter to a longlost friend, telling them everything that’s happened since you last saw them?

Not necessarily a writer, but still want to record your story somehow? Try making audio or video recordings which you could then take to someone who’s able to type out your story in a logical order. But if you need more help, working with a ghost-writer can help you remember, order and interpret what went on in your life. A life story writing service makes the process much easier. During a series of personal visits, an interviewer will chat about your life to gather stories and recollections before shaping them into a narrative.

SUSSEX LOCAL

Your words are edited, written and proof read – and you get to check and approve the story as you go through the process. After each session, the chapters are written and approved before finally being printed in a hardback book along with photographs chosen from childhood, right through to the present day.

A good personal history life writer will review the text with you and get your feedback and corrections. They’ll also have the ability to bring your story to life in an interesting way, using vivid detail and the insight you share with them.

So go on, dig out those boxes of photos and diaries and start putting those memories down on paper.

Win a copy of ’Ready to Serve’ Thriller by local author Simon M Gray ‘Bestseller potential’, ‘excellent escapism’, ‘phenomenal plot twists’ – just a few reviewer comments about Ready to Serve, the latest thriller from Sussex author Simon M Gray.

As for Simon, he has been described as a, ‘Wilbur Smith for our times’.

Simon M Gray And, Ready to Serve, his fifth novel, cements this reputation. The plot, which rarely pauses for breath, follows Mike Huntley, an initially reluctant hero, from his stifling London life to Central America where he faces the darkest enemies of our times as he fights to save his brother, a famous TV reporter. It is a dazzling thriller and a poignant tale about modern terrorism and our voyeuristic fascination with reality television.

‘I write about what I know,’ Simon explains. ‘I lived in the Caribbean, have trekked through jungle and crewed super yachts. Although, I have never faced down a terrorist! That is drawn from the headlines – and my own imagination.’

Simon, who now lives in Arundel with his wife and family, penned his first novel in just two weeks. ‘I wrote freehand, writing in every spare moment,’ he remembers. ‘I found it a hugely cathartic experience.’

Simon’s past careers and travels provide the plot framework for all his thrillers. But, his books’ soul comes from the characters. Are you ready to join Simon’s growing legion of readers? Are you Ready to Serve?

Clear Appeal

Windows, doors & conservatories For many people the words "double glazing" evoke images of over enthusiastic salesmen. Thankfully nowadays reputable companies tend to adopt a more customer-focused approach.

Brian Attwater has over 30 years experience in windows and home improvements. Brian has been in business since 2008 with his son Mark and told us that he believes the future growth of the company depends upon dedicated customer service. In his opinion an open and honest approach is of prime importance both at the quotation stage and during fitting.

He described the company’s wide range of windows, doors and conservatories with designs and colours selected to satisfy the most discerning client. He particularly praised the Kommerling Valentis Curve PVCU windows and the bi-fold scenic patio doors. Brian also offers the service of building orangeries, driveways, patios and shop fronts.

36 Gardening

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib, Principle Designer of Glorious Gardens Invest in Spring now!

Nothing heralds Spring with greater brass band fanfare than bulbs. Just when Winter is dragging on and you have forgotten you have a garden, bulbs herald forth the beginning of the warmer seasons and ones aspirations and plans for the year.

This Autumn why not be a bit bolder in your choice of bulbs and the amount you plant.

You can hardly have enough bulbs so you could double up with the quantities you order. Rather than clumps of 5 Daffodils or Alliums here and there why not go for clumps of 12. If you want a lovely display of Snowdrops why not go for 1000 rather than 50. you won’t regret it. don’t rely on last years Tulips. Assume none of them will come up again and plant a load more.

Also most bulbs try to get up and out into the light before the trees have come into leaf so you can make maximum advantage of this by trying to plant bulbs in combination with other ones.

Below are some tips on what and where to plant this month.

Woodland Look around and see if you have any shady areas under trees. Bulbs love this space as it is free from footfall, the trees are not yet into leaf so there is plenty of light and there is reduced chance of being waterlogged.

Choose natural colonizers like Daffodils, Crocus, English Bluebells, Snowdrops and Grape Miscari. They will multiply year upon year and make the shady area the great focal point of Spring’s arrival. Also think about large swathes of Anemone blanda as it will spread and be with you forever.

Lawn It is not fashionable these days but why not plant up a large area of your lawn with Crocuses. (If you have Astro turf you could invent plastic ones and make a fortune!)

Crocuses will delight you when they push up through the grass and in that 70’s colour scheme of purples, whites and yellows and they are easily mown over once they have wilted away.

You could also collect saffron which are made from the red stamens inside the flower!

Meadow If you have a meadow section of your garden Fritillaria meleagris is an endangered species in Europe so why not plant these chequerboard patterned beauties amongst your daffodils.

Pots Now is the time to cram your pots with tulips. Tulips are a living meditation on impermanence as most

through the door don’t come back the following year- so a few weeks of display and that’s it. But what a way to awaken colour in your garden. If you have a very sheltered and in a hot spot try Freesia- their scent will intoxicate you.

Plant in big groups Don’t be tempted to buy 5 of these and 6 of those. If you want maximum impact buy in bulk online. It is cheaper and the different between 20 daffodils and 200 creates a completely different effect. Even in big pots go for 12-15 tulips rather than a few.

And if you are planting them in borders it is better to have three clumps of 15 than 45 bulbs dotted about the place looking lonely.

Go for the unusual Try Frittilaria Crown Imperials, the mad looked Allium ‘Hair’, Narcissi ‘Rip Van Winkle’ or Tulipa ‘Wow’ and again plant in a couple of nice big clumps, maybe on both sides of your doorway so you enjoy them many times a day. You can also try the giant Snowdrop Leucojuim in a quite corner of the garden.

Plant in amongst other plants You can plant your bulbs in amongst evergreen ground cover which doubles the use of the space and also hides the foliage once the bulbs have finished.

Gardening

37

Try planting in amongst an area of Perriwinkle, Ajuga, Violets or even Ivy. Bulb Combinations Try these combinations Agapanthas and Wild Garlic, large pale pink Hyacinths with the pale blue of Miscarri Baby’s Breath, Tete-a-Tete Narcissi with Fritillaria. Also look at the maximum and minimum heights of your borders and position accordingly. eg Allium altissima at 1.5 m and Allium Christophii at 35cm Successional planting Make a column where you make sure you have bulbs coming up all the way through the year as if they are passing the baton to each other. For example you can buy Very Early, Early, Mid and Late flowering Tulips and Daffodils.Then Allums take over the baton for Summer. You can then factor in the corm families as well with Agapanths, Cannas and Irises as well as Dahlias.

There are also Crinums for the end of summer, bright pink Nerines and Cyclamen hederifolium for Autumn as well as autumn flowering Colchicums with their ghostly translucent hue.

Planting Advice The packet that the bulbs arrive in will normally tell

38 Gardening you the depth and spacing for planting up. If you are planting in clumps dig a whole section of the bed up of about 40cm in diameter rather than try to plant them individually. Bulbs as a rule need very well drained soil so if you are in a lot of clay really prepare the soil well with grit and organic improver and even then you will have to experiment with what survives.

Taking Care If you have planted in pots make sure they don’t dry out which is possible if we have a dry Autumn or Winter. Bulbs like a mulch feed whether in pots or in the open ground so this can be done now after you have planted them. If you deadhead the old flowers once they have finished then you will stop the plant having to produce seeds which can weaken it. Most people though like to leave the old seedheads of Alliums to dry out as they look very sculptural over the Summer and Autumn.

Lastly if you leave the foliage to die back naturally then more of the energy of the plant can return to the bulb increasing its health.

Places to visit

What can I say? Sheffield Park is the place to be.

SUSSEX LOCAL What to do in November  Now is the time to move plants around the garden or plant up new ones. The soil is still warm for the roots to establish but there is less chance of the plants drying out.  Harvest the last of your tomatoes as the frosts can get them. even if they are green they will ripen in a bowl.  Lift your Dahlias and store them in a dry, dark place (some people leave them in the soil over Winter but this is a risk)  If your Roses are particularly tall you can prune them back to reduce the rock to their roots a strong Winter wind can wreck on them.  Put bubble wrap around any precious tropical trees like Bananas or Tree Ferns.  Plant Perennial and trees. Trees can be bought as bare root specimens, so will be cheaper plus the plants will have five moths without any real need of watering before Spring arrives

The 1960’s

constructed of concrete, and single glazed windows and other external joinery formed in timber.

By Chris Ennis FRICS

I remember them well! I remember Francis Chichester sailing solo around the world (1960), the great train robbery (1963), the assassination of President Kennedy (1963), clashes between mods and rockers (1964) and England winning the world football cup (1968), I remember my school days in Chelmsford, Essex, and my first job in a London Bank, steam trains, my first moped and fashionable but uncomfortable ‘chisel point’ shoes. Housing was then mainly of pre-war design and construction, and of course most of that era of housing stock remains. Employment and income levels were high, and a new architectural style emerged from the austerity and gloom of the 1940’s and 50’s.

Housing appearance became angular with rigid geometric designs and the first of the ‘Tower blocks’ of flats started to appear in city centres.

The average house price of a residential property in 1960 was about £2500 (about 2.6 times the average wage), but by 1969 the average house price had risen to the order of £4600. The typical 1960’s house was constructed with cavity brick walls topped with a concrete tiled pitched roof. Floors were likely to be

Asbestos containing materials were in common use, and apart from asbestos insulation and roof coverings asbestos was a component in paints, floor tiles, textured plaster finishes and many other products.

When I inspect a 1960’s house I usually find that the original windows require replacement or major repair, kitchens and bathrooms require renewal, and insulation to loft spaces and walls is inadequate.

Original electrical circuitry will be suspect and the electric consumer unit will likely to be formed in Bakelite incorporating rewireable fuses……. all now obsolete. I always look for the electric extension lead indicating that there are inadequate power outlets for modern requirements. Central heating and space heating systems are invariably in need of some improvement.

The layout of gardens is also in my mind... shrubs and saplings planted too close to the walls of a house could have grown to damaging proportions over the 50 years or so.

A full structural survey should not usually be required on this type of property since a ‘level 2’ home buyer inspection should suffice.
