hese are unprecedented times. However, as the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has said, “we will do everything in our power to help”. He is confident that the UK will bounce back – and so are we.
TALKING JAPANESE The hybrid trend of elegant Japanese minimalism combined with rustic Scandinavian simplicity, means that you can now have the best of both worlds. And perfect for you if you prefer a less-is-more approach! Clutter-free spaces, combined with clean lines and a calm colour palette, is all you need to achieve the latest Japanese inspired trend.
ACHIEVING THE LOOK
MAKE AN IMPACT
When it comes to furniture, try and mix the paleness of blonde Scandi woods with Japanese signature style of black and dark woods. Doing this will help to bring depth to your furniture.
However, when it comes to larger spaces such as living rooms and master bedrooms, the busy patterns and statement dark pieces of furniture will work well together.
The key here is to keep the colour palette you use, soft. Do this by embracing the calming tones of pale blue, muted green, light grey and pink. Mix these with accents of richer shades, such as teal, indigo, rust, emerald and black to really make an impact.
This new trend can work in any room: just use your imagination! However, it is important to remember that quality over quantity is the best approach. By not overloading your space, you will allow the design to ‘breathe’ and make the right impact. This is especially true for smaller spaces such as a study or spare bedroom.
Here are some of our favourite finds for achieving the look in your home…
5-DRAWER CHEST OF DRAWERS This combination of acacia wood and dark green is sure to create a reassuring ambiance in your interior. Featuring five storage drawers, giving you plenty of room to organise your clothes, bed linen or accessories.

The advice continues to be to clean your hands frequently each day by washing with soap and water for 20 seconds or using hand sanitiser. This will help protect you and the people you live with. This step is one of the most effective ways of reducing the risk of passing infection to others.
COVER COUGHS AND SNEEZES
When you cough or sneeze, cover your mouth and nose with disposable tissues. If you do not have one to hand, sneeze into the crook of your elbow instead. If you have a carer, they should also use disposable tissues to wipe away any mucus or phlegm after you have sneezed or coughed. Then they should wash their hands with soap and water. Dispose of tissues into a disposable rubbish bag and immediately wash your hands with soap and water or use a hand sanitiser.

particularly challenging if you don’t have much space or access to a garden. It’s important to remember to take care of your mind as well as your body and to get support if you need it. Stay in touch with family and friends over the phone or on social media. Think about things you can do during your time at home. People who have not minded staying at home have managed to keep themselves busy with activities such as cooking, reading, online learning and watching films. If you feel well enough, you can take part in light exercise within your home or garden.

LEST WE FORGET May 8th, 2020 – VE Day – marks 75 years since the guns fell silent at the end of the war in Europe The arrival of peace in Europe came on 8th May 1945 when years of carnage and destruction came to an end during World War II. Millions of people took to the streets and the pubs to celebrate peace – while also mourning loved ones lost during the battle. However, despite the celebrations, at the time there were still thoughts of course to those continuing to fight in the conflict, which didn’t end until 15th August 1945; when Japan surrendered unconditionally to the Allies, effectively ending World War II. The looming 75th anniversary of VE Day will provide ample opportunity for all of us to reflect on the countless sacrifice, courage and determination of people from all walks of life who helped us through these dark and difficult times.
Those we pay tribute to not only include those who fought on the front line, but also all the individuals who contributed to our freedom as we know it today. The hard working men and women who can be applauded for their contribution includes those who operated the factories, mines, shipyards and farms, the ARP wardens, police officers, doctors, nurses, fireman, local defence volunteers plus many others who worked tirelessly day and night during frightening and uncertain times for all. In honour of all those who sacrificed for our freedom, the government has already announced that Friday 8th May 2020 will be a designated Bank Holiday. This replaces the Bank Holiday which normally takes place on the first Monday of May. Lest we forget.

A VE DAY
READY IN: 1hr SERVES: 15
CELEBRATION CAKE Eggless fruit cake INGREDIENTS 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup water 1 cup raisins 2 tablespoons oil or 2 tablespoons margarine 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground 1⁄2 teaspoon clove, ground 1 1⁄2 cups flour 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
VE Day 1935 and sandwiches were the main order of the day during the street party celebrations, as was beer (that is, until it ran out in the pubs, well before the 10.30pm curfew!) But people wouldn’t have been celebrating the same as we do today. Wartime rationing meant sugar and butter were hard to come by, so this eggless fruit cakes would have been the next best thing!
METHOD 1. Place the brown sugar, water, raisins, oil, cinnamon, and cloves in a heavy-bottomed
saucepan and bring to a boil 2. Cook gently for 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and let cool until the mixture is
comfortably warm to your finger 3. While the mixture is cooling, preheat the oven to 350F 4. Grease and flour an 8x4-inch baking pan 5. Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add them to the cooled
sugar mixture, beating until no drifts of flour are visible and the batter is smooth. Then stir in the walnuts 6. Spread the mixture evenly in the baking tin
and bake for 25-30 minutes 7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn onto a rack to cool completely If you want to add a good glaze, save back bit of the hot spiced water and mix with
icing sugar, a drop of vanilla, and a pinch salt. Glaze the cake while hot.

GET YOUR EXERCISE FIX AT HOME
Get fit with these simple exercises that can be done in the comfort of home and with a minimal amount of equipment!
PUSH-UPS Push-ups, alongside sit-ups, squats and planks are a staple of any good workout, whether at home or at the gym.
Do it! - To do a push-up lay on your stomach and place your toes on the floor and then raise yourself with your arms shoulder-width apart, before slowly lowering yourself so your stomach is an inch off the ground. Repeat this as many times as you can. Push-ups work your core, your shoulders and your chest.
SIT-UPS There are a huge variety of sit-ups depending on which of your abdominal muscles you want to hit. The standard sit-up works all the abs.
Do it! - Lay on your back with your knees bent and, ideally, with your feet held down to the floor, and then using your stomach muscles, and not your back, lift your upper body towards your knees – hold at the top, before then slowly coming back down.

PLANKS Planks are excellent for core strength. Get into a push-up position, however, instead of lowering yourself to the ground, hold your body tense, lifted off the ground for as long as you can – keeping your back straight at all times. To make things harder in the standard plank, move from your hands to your elbows.
Planks are excellent for core strength
Do it! - To do a side plank, lay sideways on the floor, resting on your forearm and then raise your body into a straight line and hold.
SQUATS Squats are a whole-body compound exercise and as such, are one of the best home workout exercises you can do.
Do it! - Stand with your knees slightly bent and your feet shoulder-width apart, and while keeping your back straight, bend your knees and get your bum as close to the floor as possible. To make the exercise harder you can grab something heavy and hold it in front of you as you squat.
DIPS Dips are a great exercise for your shoulders, chest and triceps and all you need is a sofa or a chair.
Do it! - Sitting on the floor, move so your back is against the legs of the chair or sofa and extend your legs in front of you. Now put your arms onto the flat base of the chair or sofa and using your arms, lift your body off the ground keeping your back straight and your legs extended.

A MATTER
OF TRUST
The National Trust looks after 780 miles of British coastline

PROPERTY NEWS
It looks after some of the country’s much-loved heritage, has more than 5.6million members and this year is marking its 125th anniversary. But how well do you know the National Trust?
W
hat do the white cliffs of Dover, the King’s Head in Aylesbury, Sir Isaac Newton, the barbastelle bat and Lady Penelope of Thunderbirds fame have in common? They all have strong connections with The National Trust, the renowned independent charity which looks after historically significant houses, buildings, gardens, coast and countryside throughout the British Isles. And this year it is marking its 125th anniversary. Although officially founded in January 1895 when the Trust was registered under the Companies Act, the idea for an organisation to protect the nation’s heritage started to germinate 11 years previously when Octavia Hill, a leading social reformer, was asked to help preserve Sayes Court Garden in south-east London . It brought her to the attention of Sir Robert Hunter, solicitor for the Commons Preservation Society, and during successful campaigns to resist development on Parliament Hill Fields, Vauxhall Park and Hilly Fields in London, they were joined by Canon Hardwicke
National Trust says... “Over the coming weeks our digital platforms - our website, social media feeds, podcasts and video will become even more important, ensuring the places of nature, beauty and history that we care for on behalf of the nation can remain open for business virtually while we are temporarily closed.
“We will also be ramping up our efforts to help people connect with nature wherever they are and to find moments of joy in the world around them. We will be providing rich content and staying in touch with our members and followers throughout this time.”
Rawnsley and, in 1895, founded the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty.
landscape, the Jurassic Coast, the Giant’s Causeway – probably their most visited site – and Hadrian’s Wall.
Within weeks they were gifted their first site - the five acres of cliff top at Dinas Oleu in Wales - and, in a year, bought their first building, Alfriston Clergy House, for £10 (about £600 in today’s currency). Today, the Trust owns more than 500 properties which were visited by almost 28million people in 2018-19. They have more than 5.6million members, second only in the United Kingdom to the AA, and are the largest voluntary conservation organisation in Europe.
It costs almost £370million a year and as many as 14,000 staff to look after these sites – plus 65,000 volunteers in more than 500 roles. As a registered charity, they rely wholly on subscriptions, donations (£97.8million in 2018-19 alone) … and cups of tea (they sell more than 4.5million a year on their premises).
Impressive statistics, but consider these: The National Trust looks after 780 miles of British coastline, including the iconic white cliffs, and more than 248,000 hectares of land; they care for over 500 historic houses (Woolsthorpe Manor in Grantham was where Newton was born and where a falling apple inspired his theory of gravity) castles, parks, ancient monuments, and nature reserves. And that includes nine lighthouses, 56 villages (yes, whole villages), 39 pubs (the King’s Head being one of them) … and a gold mine in Carmarthenshire. As well as 49 churches, nine monasteries … and eight billiard tables. It also looks after eight World Heritage sites including the Lake District, Stonehenge
Trust properties have been used as the backdrop for TV and films from Game of Thrones to Harry Potter. And Stourhead House in Wiltshire was the inspiration for Lady Penelope’s residence in the original Thunderbirds puppet series in the 1960s. They had to pull some strings for that … And as for the barbastelle bat … all 17 species of UK bat have been recorded as roosting or breeding on Trust sites, while their land was used to successfully reintroduce the beautiful Large Blue butterfly to England after it was declared extinct in the UK in 1979. However, if your impression of a NT visit is traipsing round a fusty country home or battling the elements yomping across hill and vale, think again as there’s more than a hint of family focus on the Trust’s calendar Individual events are detailed on their website.

I have lived in the area all my life, so there are many regular faces I deal with time and time again, and want everyone to feel comfortable with buying / selling and letting through Trett Phillips Residential.
