I am celebrating 14 years of our sister publication SE22 which paved the way for SE21, almost two years later. It is fantastic to have so much local support with wonderful readers, writers and businesses advertising. I couldn’t do it without you! There are plenty of events on this month too, so make sure you take a good look through the news pages, starting on page 8. Remember that we also have more events on our website www.arounddulwich.co.uk along with daily posts. The Last Word goes to Michele Simon who runs a values-based at-home care company called Bridewell Care. They provide support for people who, although ageing, want to remain at home. See page 32. Until next month,

Angela

Garden Talk with Janine Winlaw

Top 10 Groundcover Plants Great for carpeting bare ground, preventing weeds and defining the front of a border, groundcover plants are a must-have in the garden. Here are my top 10, grown for…

Foliage Asarum europaeum (Wild ginger) For a lush contemporary look this is unbeatable, with glossy green heart-shaped leaves that spread to form an evergreen carpet. It prefers a moist, shady spot. Pachysandra terminalis, which copes better with sun, also forms a dense mat of evergreen leaves with white flowers in early summer. Ajuga reptans ‘Atropurpurea’(bugle) If you’re after a bit more colour, try this spreading evergreen, grown predominantly for its unusual bronze-purple foliage – which look great with other rusty coloured ferns and grasses. The short spikes of deep blue flowers in early spring are a bonus. It’s happy in sun or part shade, provided there’s enough water. Stachys Byzantina ‘Silver Carpet’ (Lamb’s ears) With spreading velvety silver leaves this is great for softening the edge of a well-drained, sunny border – it’s also very drought tolerant once established. Stachys have purple flower spires in summer but this neat variety rarely flowers. Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’ (Black mondo) A low-growing, dark-leaved, grass-like perennial this looks great planted in a drift. Looks good with bright green grasses or ferns and contrasts well with silvery plants in full sun or partial shade.

Flowers Viola cornuta ‘Alba Group’ This is on my wish list – it’s attractive and looks good in most settings with fresh semi-evergreen foliage and masses of pure white flowers from May to August. It's ideal for filling gaps at the front of a border in sun or part shade. Geranium ‘Rozanne’ With a mass of large violet flowers from June through to autumn, this is excellent for bringing colour to 12 | SE21 - March 2019

the front of a border – although it dies down completely in the winter. The handsome marbled leaves are attractive too. It’s best in full sun but copes with some shade. Geranium sanguineum var. striatum is a more compact geranium with very pretty pink flowers and delicate leaves.

For Foliage And Flowers Saxifraga urbium (London pride) This pretty plant is having a come back – and for good reason. It’s tough, with rosettes of spreading evergreen leaves and a haze of tiny pink flowers on slender stems in spring and early summer. Happy in semi-shade, it’s perfect for edging borders and suppressing weeds. Epimedium x perralchicum ‘Frohnleiten’ A lovely spreading groundcover plant with semievergreen bronze leaves and tiny bright yellow flowers held high above the foliage in spring. Tough and shade tolerant, it’s lovely with ferns in a woodland setting or under deciduous trees. Epimedium youngianum'Niveum' is a pretty white flowering variety. Alchemilla Mollis (Lady’s mantle) This is a must for any garden with large scallopededged leaves that catch shining water droplets, and a froth of lime green flowers from spring to summer. Deciduous so they’ll disappear in winter, they look fab in the summer with purples. Brunnera macrophylla ‘Jack Frost’ Another plant I’d love in my garden, this has striking leaves – silvery with dark green veins. It’s shade tolerant so is great for lighting up shady areas under trees or near pathways and it has the added bonus of wonderful spring colour with sprays of forget-me-not-like blue flowers in Spring.

Food & Drink with Suzanne James

Rhubarb, Apple & Ginger Crunch Trifle Rhubarb is absolutely top of my list of favourites at this time of year. There are so many ways to use it, and every single option is delicious! This is a stunningly good trifle that I particularly like because each element is prepared in advance, with only the final assembly needing to be done ahead of serving – easy peasy! Serves 6. Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients • 85g Coarse Oatmeal • 1 tsp Ground Ginger • 100g Golden Caster Sugar • 3 Bramley Apples (about 800g in total), peeled, cored and sliced into wedges • 2 Balls ginger in syrup, chopped • 700g Yorkshire Rhubarb, trimmed and cut into thumb-length pieces • Approximately 400ml of double cream • 600ml pot ready-made vanilla custard (guilty secret) • 300g/11oz Ginger Cake (McVities Jamaican Ginger Cake is a good option), thickly sliced • 1 tbsp ginger wine

Method 1) Heat the oatmeal, ground ginger and half the sugar in a non-stick frying pan until the sugar starts to caramelise and the oatmeal toasts, stirring often. Tip onto non-stick baking paper to cool, then break into crumbly nuggets. Make up to 2 days ahead and keep in an airtight container. 2) Put the apples in a large saucepan, then add the chopped ginger, 50ml water and remaining caster sugar. Bring to a simmer, then gently cook for about 7 mins, adding the rhubarb halfway through, until both are softened, but not mushy. Add more sugar to taste, if you like, then leave to cool. Make up to 1 day ahead and keep in the fridge. 3) Lightly whip the cream and fold half of it into the custard. Line the base of a large glass serving bowl with ginger cake, sprinkle over the wine, then spoon over the apple & rhubarb mix, draining off 14 | SE21 - March 2019

any excess juice. Add a layer of about half the oatmeal mixture, cover with the custard, then finish with the rest of the cream and the remaining oatmeal. Best assembled shortly before serving. Each element can be made the day before, then layered up when ready to eat. Sign up to our newsletter for more seasonal tips and news at: www.suzannejames.co.uk

Fitness tips with Leanne Spencer

The Importance Of Putting Yourself First

was listening to an interview with Vishen Lakhiani, the CEO of Mindvalley. They do seminars, a month-long retreat in various parts of Europe, and they have a university. Mindvalley is a large company and has grown from acorns, when Vishen had little money. In the interview, he spoke about how he always puts himself first. Before his business, before his career aspirations. He prioritises his exercise sessions, his meditation, his self-care above anything else. He doesn’t have meetings until he’s finished his meditation and he never skips a gym workout for work or business. I find that really interesting – I would call these non-negotiables, and for me, spin once a week, personal training twice a week, a daily meditation, are some of my non-negotiables, and I will not allow anything, no matter what’s going on in this business, to supersede those priorities. As a result, I’m energised, I’m fit, I’m looking good – because that is important in this industry, and more importantly to me is that I’m feeling amazing. And that’s because 99.9% of the time, I put in the work to feel this good. It’s the engine of my business and the engine of my life that’s extremely important. Because if I’m not feeling great, if I’m not feeling energised, it will manifest with my clients, with my business, with my sales efforts, with my speaking career, with everything else that I like to do – like podcasting and books and so on. It’s paramount importance that I look after myself before I look after the business, and I really urge you to think about that. I see too many people, putting themselves right at the bottom of the pile, yet stating their values are to be there for their family and to have a successful career. If you’re going to do those things you have got to put yourself first and it doesn’t mean saying I’m not coming out with the family this weekend, I need to sit in front of the TV. It’s simply carving out 10-15 minutes a day for yourself, to do a focused workout, to meditate, to just sit and practise what

20 | SE21 - March 2019

we call heartfulness, which is doing something for you or some form of contribution. But you’re putting your own health first This is often quoted using the metaphor of the oxygen mask, where we encourage people to put their oxygen mask on first on an aeroplane so that you can be of service to the people around you, particularly the children and the more vulnerable people. It’s the same in business and in life, we have to put our own oxygen mask on first, so we can be of use to other people. See if you can move away from the idea that you don’t count, you need to come last, other people’s needs are more important that yours. It’s important just to take care of yourself before you do anything else. To touch back on Vishen Lakhiani, he runs a multi-million pound empire with Mindvalley, and that’s still his rule and he attributes that as a significant contributor to his success. I think that’s a really key point. You’re the engine of your life, you’re the engine of your business and your career, so take care of yourself.

Education News from Alleyn's

A Bigger Sporting Pond Gavin English, Director of Sport at Alleyn’s, tells us how to smooth your child’s transition into secondary school sport.

or many parents and their children, a school’s sporting offer plays an important role in their choice of a senior school. Once they arrive, it is no surprise that one of the attractions of their new ‘home from home’ is the sport. Sport can play a big part in the social landscape in the first few weeks, provide fantastic opportunities for making new friends, give much needed time for release of pent up energy and help alleviate new school nerves. Perhaps most importantly it can nurture a sense of belonging in an exciting but possibly scary new world. Secondary schools can vary in their approach; prioritising different sports at different times, some promote late specialisation, others early. Some take a values driven approach while others lean towards technical and tactical development. With this in mind, here are a few things you can do to help smooth your child’s transition to the ‘bigger pond’ of secondary school sport.

Hit The Ground Running Schools often plan co-curricular timetables well in advance. Check the school website with your child and identify what sports are available, and go for it! They do not need a week or two to settle in – your child will find the rhythm of their new school more easily if they are fully engaged and immersed from the off.

It Is Never Too Late If your child spots a sport they would like to take part in after the first couple of weeks it is not too late for them to attend. You may hear tales of selections being made early for the whole year, but staff do recognise that it can take time for pupils to find their way to them with the many new activities on offer.

Breadth, Breadth, Breadth Early in their new school sporting careers children often want to stick to what they know but once they have adjusted, encourage them to engage with less 22 | SE21 - March 2019

familiar sports. Who knows how many potential Olympians we have missed out on because they decided not to take the plunge with a sport they hadn’t played before? Late specialisation prevents physical and psychological burnout and can have a hugely positive impact on performance down the line so do not allow your child to limit themselves too early!

Let It Happen Your child might take part in club sports outside school and you may have strong ideas about what you would like them to gain from sports in school or what teams you would like them to be in, but try to keep your own involvement squarely on the touchlines and bear in mind that much of what your child will gain from school sport will be away from the pitches and courts on a Saturday morning. Commitment, organisation, training in pursuit of personal progress, dealing with the slings and arrows of selection, and working hard to establish their place in a team – attributes highly valued in society today - are the real benefits of school sport. www.alleyns.org.uk

Pets Corner with Leonie St Clair

Dental Hygiene For Pets

lean, sparkly teeth are important for human health but pets also benefit from regular dental care. A little training and regular inspections not only help save your pet from costly veterinary interventions and the risks of general anaesthetic, but will keep them healthier overall. There is of course the additional benefit of avoiding the breath of death!

Dogs Teach your puppy to be comfortable having his whole mouth and throat inspected and work towards cleaning those teeth. This is best achieved in tiny stages, using one of a variety of specialist enzymatic toothpastes. Please never use human toothpaste as this could be poisonous. A good vet practice or puppy class will teach you how to start with a good daily dental routine. Even elderly dogs can be taught to have their teeth cleaned! Before brushing, get into the habit of looking and feeling inside your dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouth. Bad breath, red, swollen or bleeding gums, yellow or brown plaque, lumps and bumps can all be signs of a problem. An additional benefit is that if your dog accepts you exploring his mouth it may be easier to remove something dangerous on the rare occasion you might have to.

Cats Teaching felines to have their teeth inspected and brushed will be more difficult, much depends on how tolerant the cat is about handling in general. It is best to start young and always use specialist toothpaste. Begin by getting the puss to lick tuna water or similar off your fingers and slowly increase contact with the gums and teeth before progressing to doing the same with toothpaste on your fingers and then on a q tip. Learn to cradle your cat from behind, cupping his chin and gently lift each lip before cleaning the teeth. A quality diet and access to appropriate raw bones and chews, will help keep teeth clean in both cats and dogs, but seek veterinary advice first. Be alert to signs of a dental problem. Cats are often better at hiding pain than are dogs. Fastidious cats that suddenly become messy eaters or reluctant to eat, should be checked at the vet.

Rabbits Rabbits have teeth that never stop growing. Front teeth that grow too long or are misaligned can interfere with grooming and eating. Rabbit teeth should be checked every week and you should train your bunny to be comfortable with this. Rabbits that are in pain will often hunch their bodies and grind their teeth and painful teeth also cause rabbits to dribble. Do not try to trim your rabbitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth at home. This is a job for the vet. A quality, high fibre diet will help wear down rabbit teeth naturally.

Birds Birds do not have teeth but their beaks require care and even clipping. Beaks are made up of living tissues, the outer layer is rather like human fingernails and it grows. Wild birds have many opportunities to wear down their beaks looking for food, nest building and so on. Pet birds do not have the same freedom. Owners often think a beak has overgrown when it has not but home trims are dangerous; it is always best to get veterinary advice. Depending on the birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size your vet will use a dremel or emery file, to gently file the beak. Instead owners should provide home enrichment, allowing pets to file their beaks naturally. Cuttlefish is ideal for smaller birds while sturdy wooden chew toys are great for larger birds. Finally, appropriate hard foods, like nuts and seeds are ideal. Leonie St Clair - www.londondogstraining.co.uk

Contextual Lecture: Religion - is Broadcasting fit for purpose? 12 March, 10.30am £12 adults; £10 Friends & concessions Understanding Religion has never been more important: it is impossible to fully grasp the world's politics without understanding the continuing role religion plays in it. It is just as difficult to understand this country, and our diverse population with many faiths and beliefs. Is the broadcasting industry fit for the purpose of ensuring that its audiences are religiously literate? Roger Bolton has his doubts. Bolton is a British television producer and TV and radio presenter and has worked on shows such as Tonight, Panorama and Right to Reply.

Financial Matters with David Frederick

The Cost Of Probate Is On The Rise

ust when you thought it could not get any worse, the government lands another body blow. Yes, from 1st April 2019, the cost of Probate goes up and in some cases through the roof. This new fee increase announced by the government is not a real surprise given the proposed May 2017 increase was only postponed to accommodate the general election. However, some comfort can be taken from the new fees because it is less draconian than the one postponed in May 2017. The current probate fee is £215 for a personal application or £155 for a professional application submitted by a solicitor or other licensed professional. Unfortunately, many people are still not familiar with what is probate as it is only ever encountered at the death of a loved on. In brief, probate is the process of obtaining the authority (a grant of probate or administration) to administer the estate of a deceased person. Where the administration is the responsibility of collecting their assets, discharging their debts and the distribution of their assets in accordance with their will or the law of intestacy. The new fee pricing for probate is a landmark shift from the current fixed fee to a tiered system, dependent upon the value of the estate that is subject to inheritance tax. The new fee system results in those with larger estates bearing a much greater charge. Estates over £2m will incur probate fees of £6,000, which is an increase of over 2000%! It is noteworthy that the only winners under the new fee structure are valued £5,000 - £50,000, because they are now not subject to any probate fee. Under the current system such estates would pay £215. The table below shows the new tiered structure of fees from 1st April 2019 plus the comparison with the proposal in May 2017 and the percentage changes from the current flat fee. As a result from 1st April, the probate fee of a local resident whose estate on death includes; a residential property with a market value of £624,000 plus a buy-to-let two bed flat in SE15 valued at £380,000 plus debts of £97,650 at death, would be £2,500. This is an increase of over 1,000%. The new

fee structure has replaced its predecessor which was regressive. However, the new progressive system is also subject to dissatisfaction. Listening to various voices on this new fee structure, what seems abundantly clear, is the real discomfort is not new tiered system but the level of the fees per tier. Fee increases exceeding 100% and 1000% are somewhat difficult to comprehend. When announcing the new fee system the justice minister, Lucy Frazer said: “This new banded fee model represents a fair and more progressive way to pay for probate services compared to the current flat fee and reflects our commitment to protecting access to justice by ensuring we have a properly funded and resourced courts system” The new fees may be progressive in comparison to the current flat rate but the jury may be out on its fairness. Time may be the true judge on fairness. The justice minister also asserted that some 25,000 people will now be removed from probate fees. In isolation, this is praiseworthy. However when set against the 275,000 probate applications in 2017-18, 25,000 people escaping probate is less than 10% of the applications. This begs the question what about the other 90% and the utilitarian, greater good concept? Furthermore, the justice minister may have been crystal ball gazing, when she said: “For those who do pay, around 80% of estates will pay £750 or less.” Only time will tell, whether this reassures and comforts our residents, having to pay probate fees.

The Last Word – Michele Simon My name is Michele Simon and I run a values-based at-home care company called Bridewell Care. We provide support for people who, although ageing, want to remain at home. Often all they need is some companionship and a bit of help round the house or some support after an operation to get them back on their feet.

How long have you lived in the area? 18 years

What brought you here? My partner, now my husband, lived here. He told me he loved East Dulwich and wasn’t going to move out to Woking. So, I had to move to Dulwich! It was however a good choice and I’ve never looked back.

What’s changed most during that time? Pretty much everything – new shops, new bars, new restaurants – and loads of children. You never used to see a child but now there are loads of families living here. It’s been good for the area.

What do you most value about the area? I like being within walking distance of everything – shops, coffee shops, the train station, the park – and the fact we still have free parking on the street.

What one thing would you change? Because I live in a flat, the council won’t give us a bin and we have to leave rubbish out on the streets for collection – it really ruins the look and feel of the area

The one thing you couldn’t do without? Coffee shops. I adore them – as somewhere that lets me rewind, have new ideas and deep discussions as well as trivial socialising. What did we all do before coffee shops? I can’t live without them in my life – and we have so many to choose from living near Lordship Lane.

The most famous person you’ve met? I used to live with Twiggy’s sister – so I got to meet Twiggy who is such a nice person – down to earth and very engaging

Café, pub or bar? It’s really difficult to answer this question because there are so many places to choose – but I think it has to be The Greyhound pub in the Village with its friendly staff, good food, a great beer garden. Just a fabulous place to go on a summer evening 32 | SE21 - March 2019

Your favourite place to go for a drink? Probably House of Tippler. Tim is really friendly, as are the staff – and they play the best tunes where if you fancy it you can have a bop and not feel embarrassed.

The best kept secret….. There is an orchard in Melbourne Grove.

Where’s your favourite place to walk? It has to be Dulwich Park, first thing on a summer morning, when there’s not many people around. You can stare at a blue sky and look at the trees - and imagine that you are out in the countryside somewhere.

If money was no object….. I’d offer my company’s services for free – to everyone who needed them. It’s that important to me.
