Welcome to SE23 Photograph by Jermyn Photography

I am well and truly feeling the Christmas spirit putting together this issue.

I have drawn the line on listening to Christmas tunes just yet! But with all the fantastic Christmas theme events we have on locally this month, it is difficult not to feel Christmassy.

We have two more pages of Christmas Fairs and Markets page 22 & 23. It is, of course, the return of the Havelock Walk Winter Weekend on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd December, find out more on page 26. Remember there are more events, stories and news at www.arounddulwich.co.uk.

So all that is left for me to say is Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Saturdays 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 December: Work on Emmanuel Wildlife Garden Every Saturday from 2-4pm. Replanting at Emmanuel Wildlife Garden has been extended to the Church Roadside Garden (Clive Road). This is already a popular meeting place with its two benches facing each other. Now it is planned to make it even more popular with the introduction of scented plants. Gifts of small scented shrubs and scented ground cover plants would be welcome. In the case of the Wildlife Garden which runs off Chalford Road a wild plum and a wild pear are needed to complete its native orchard. Meanwhile careful hand weeding has to be carried out every Saturday over a recreation of the South Downs with three species of wild orchids. Norwood Wildlife Team leader, John Cotter, needs very patient volunteers to deal with this. The turn-out is every Saturday 2-4p.m. Come rain or shine.

He will also recommend that the boundary be extended onto Perry Vale to encompass the small parade of shops. A report will be issued in September and public consultation will be organised for the autumn. The Mayor of Lewisham will then consider the proposals by March 2009.

We have two more venues for The 23 Club. On Wednesday 23rd July, we’re meeting at 8pm at Le Querce, 68 Brockley Rise, 020 8690 3761.

Everyone pays for their own food/wine.

In August, the 23rd falls on a Saturday so we thought this would be a good opportunity for a family-oriented, Forest Hill Society Summer Barbecue at lunchtime.

Garden Talk with Janine Winlaw

The Gardener’s Tool Kit Having the right tools really can turn gardening from a chore to a pleasure. So if you fancy putting something gardening-related on your Christmas wish-list or are thinking of buying a present for a green-fingered friend, take your pick from these “must have” tools.

Secateurs

This is key for most gardeners – a sharp, good quality pair will make all the difference to pruning and harvesting herbs and flowers. I like Felco, which last a lifetime if you look after them, but there are many other good varieties. For those with weak hands or arthritis, ratcheting pruners are a great choice. Try to buy quality, keep them clean and dry them if they get wet, so they don’t rust.

Gardening Gloves

Protect your hands from mud and thorns with a good pair of gloves. Make sure they fit snuggly, particularly for fiddly jobs like tying in climbers.

Bamboo gloves are light and stretchy, as are Showa Floreo. Thermal gardening gloves are cosy for winter and if you’re pruning roses leather is best.

Hand Trowel and Fork

Whether you have a large garden or a balcony with pots, hand tools such as trowels and forks are probably the most useful tools of all. Trowels are great for shovelling compost, planting and digging holes, while hand forks can be better for digging up or dividing plants, as they’re gentler on roots. Again look out for good quality and, a comfortable wooden handle and a stainless steel blade for durability.

Rake

If your lawn gets covered in leaves, it’s worth buying a leaf rake – the ones with large fan shaped plastic heads. They’re inexpensive and a super efficient way of tidying up the lawn. Removing fallen leaves is also important for lawn health as dead leaves block light from grass weakening the root system, as well as attracting pests and encouraging mould to grow. Garden rakes have springy thin metal tines and tend to spike leaves – they’re best for removing mossy thatch in grass in spring and autumn, and general garden debris from under shrubs.

Pruning Saw

These lightweight saws are fab for keeping trees or large woody shrubs in check, easily removing larger branches that are too thick for secateurs or loppers.

The folding ones that you can carry in your pocket are especially handy.

Digging Spade and Fork

A decent long handled spade is useful for digging and planting larger plants and trees. Again try buying a quality spade, with a good strong handle and stainless steel head, which is smoother, easier to garden with and clean, and less susceptible to rust. For digging up established plants, it’s better to use a long handled fork, as they’re more forgiving on roots.

Topiary Shears

These hand shears are great – bigger than secateurs and smaller than regular shears, they make topiary a pleasure.

Hoe

A hoe is a great time (and back) saver for weeding – especially if you hoe off weeds when they’re small. Hoes with narrower blades are useful for smaller spaces. Other weeding tools include a hand weeder, designed to pull out weeds with tap root such as dandelions . Or you can use The Hori Hori or weeding knife, a combo knife/trowel that cuts, digs and weeds.

Food & Drink with Suzanne James

Filo Pastry Mince Pies For the Mincemeat • 3 Granny Smiths (or other tart eating apples), peeled, cored and cut into 1cm / ½” chunks • 1 ripe pear, peeled, cored and cut into 1cm / ½” chunks • 100g / 3½ oz raisins • 100ml / 3½ fl oz apple juice • 75g / 2¾ oz dried cranberries • 50g / 1¾ oz pecan nuts finely chopped • 2 tsp ground ginger • 2 tsp ground cinnamon • Pinch ground cloves • Big pinch freshly grated nutmeg • 1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped out • 1 orange, zest only, finely grated • 1cm / ½ in piece fresh ginger, very finely chopped • A few twists cracked black pepper • 3 tbsp cider, calvados, rum or brandy (optional)

For the Pies • Vegetable oil, in a spray bottle • 12 sheets filo pastry • 1 egg, lightly beaten (alternatively use a little melted butter or vegetable oil) • Icing sugar for dusting Makes 12 mince pies

Method

1) Preheat the oven to 1800C / 1600C(fan) / 3500F / Gas 4.

2) Place a baking tray into the oven to heat up – this helps to stop your pies having a soggy base!

3) Grease a 12-hole muffin tin with a little spray oil and set aside.

4) Put all the mincemeat ingredients into a saucepan over a medium heat and allow to cook gently, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes or until the apples begin to soften.

5) Remove from the heat and leave the mixture to infuse while you make the pies.

6) Lay the sheets of filo pastry out on top of each other and cut them in stacks to make 12cm / 4½” squares of filo. Keep any filo not being worked on under a damp tea towel so that it doesn’t dry out.

14 | SE23 - December 2018

7) Line each hole of the muffin tin with three squares of filo. Take a square at a time and press it into the hole, each one slightly turned so the pastry case edges look like a star. Make sure to push the pastry down so it goes right down to the bottom and sides of each muffin hole.

8) After lining the tin, you should be left with 12 squares of filo – reserve these under a damp tea towel for now.

9) Spray each stack in the tin with a little oil and bake in the oven for five minutes until crisp and pale golden. Then divide the filling evenly among the cases.

10) Take the remaining squares of filo, scrunch each one up lightly and place one on top of each pie so that it looks like a scrunched-up tissue.

Brush them lightly with beaten egg or melted butter.

11) Place in the oven on top of the heated baking sheet for 8-10 minutes or until the pies are crisp and golden.

12) Once ready, remove the pies from the oven and dust with a little icing sugar!

Financial Matters with Akwasi Duodu

When the best thing to do is…. nothing

W

hat causes stock market crashes?

The stock market has crashed several times throughout history. There was the infamous Great Crash of 1929 – the worst market decline in US history where the Dow Jones lost 25%. Then there was Black Monday in 1987, which started in Hong Kong and spread worldwide, where the UKs FTSE 100 share index fell by 22%. That was miserable.

Then there was the dot com bubble on 11 March 2000, which took 2 years to recover from. More recently, we’ve had the financial crisis of 2008, which started with Lehmans Brothers going bust and contagion thereafter. In between all of these, we have surges in stock prices, known as bull markets and market corrections where prices fall, known as bear markets. After a bull market, investors, stockbrokers and fund managers sometimes sell to realise their gains. When a lot of people do this at the same time, it can cause a market sell-off, which can in turn cause a downwards market correction.

When everyone is selling, prices go down as states the law of supply and demand. So why am I talking about this? Well, the UK stock market has recently had a correction and many of our clients are asking us what they should do. Here are 6 things to be aware of.

1) Stock market corrections happen often The first thing you should know is that stock market corrections happen -- and fairly often. As worldwide economies peak and trough over time, the stock market will also have its peaks and troughs.

According to research conducted by Deutsche Bank, the stock market, on average, has a correction once a year. While many investors, especially those new to stock investing simply aren't used to experiencing swings like these, corrections are an inevitable part of stock ownership, and there's nothing you can do as an individual investor to stop a correction from occurring.

2) They don’t last In a broader context, while a stock market correction is an inevitable part of stock ownership, corrections last for a shorter period of time than bull markets.

Based on research conducted on the Dow between 24 | SE23 - December 2018

1945 and 2013, the average correction (which worked out to 13.3%) lasted a mere 71.6 trading days.

3) They are unpredictable Stock market corrections may be inevitable, but one thing they aren't is predictable. Stock market corrections could come about within any time frame (every few months or after multiple years), and they can be caused by a variety of issues. For instance, we now know the impetus for the Great Recession was the bursting of the housing bubble caused by an implosion of subprime mortgages. But, how many people were echoing that subprime was a problem in 2006 or 2007? The answer is very few people were.

4) They only matter if you're a short-term investor Another important point you should realise is that stock market corrections really aren't an issue if you remain focused on the long term. Corrections are more uncomfortable for shorter term investors, who may have to switch their strategy to long term to make up for their losses.

5) They present an opportunity For the long-term investor or a fund manager, a stock market correction is often a great time to pick up high-quality companies at attractive valuations.

While trying to time a market bottom is generally a bad idea, a market correction can be a great time to add stocks to your portfolio that could make excellent long-term investments, but that previously seemed a bit too expensive.

6) They are a good reminder to reassess things As noted above, a dip in stocks isn't necessarily a bad thing as it could give you or your fund manager the opportunity to buy quality stocks at bargain prices. It is also a good time to reassess your risk profile, your long-term goals and financial objectives. Generally, the best thing to do after a stock market correction is …nothing.

Pets Corner with Leonie St Clair

Possessive Behaviour In Dogs

O

ne of the most difficult issues I see in behaviour work is the dog that has become aggressive about guarding food, objects, space, other dogs or even people. The resource guarding dog does not want to share the stuff he values with anyone.

Occasionally these dogs become so anxious about a perceived need to compete for possession, that they use serious aggression to take control.

The instinct to control resources is strong in all of us because it is necessary for survival.

However sharing our home with a pet dog that has started to guard proximity to something as innocuous as paper tissues as though his life depended on it, or that lunges and bites anyone near his empty food bowl, is a recipe for disaster.

We do not know why some dogs become resource guarders. The most likely explanation is that some dogs have a genetic predisposition triggered by events in the course of development.

Litters of pups fed from the same food bowl may learn to compete for food early on but while this tendency may emerge around other dogs it need not around humans.

As ever, the correct approach begins in puppyhood when owners need to equip themselves with a reasonable awareness of canine body language. Watch out for tiny signs like the puppy freezing (tension and stillness without looking at you) if you approach him while he is eating or has something in his mouth. The pup may also watch you out of the corner of his eye with the white showing (whale eye). The pup will look slightly wary, some may even growl. Don’t panic, congratulate yourself on having noticed that your pup is not unsure of your intentions around stuff he values (generally food and chews). You are now able to do some training that will ensure your pup learns to trust you.

First homes have to be puppy proofed. The quickest way to ignite possessive behaviour is to constantly chase the pup down whenever he steals something, forcibly removing said item from his jaws. Pups quickly learn that stealing objects gets owner attention. Whenever this happens only take action if that item is incredibly dangerous or

incredibly valuable. Otherwise ignore the pup or get him interested in something he is allowed to chew. Make a mental note to better puppy proof your home in future and start to train a solid ‘leave’ or ‘drop’ command. See my article.

Train your pup to enjoy people approaching his food bowl. Ensure outside of training your pup is left in peace to eat his grub. Please do not practise removing his bowl while he is eating- this is likely to create resource guarding not reduce it!

Place your pup’s food bowl in an area of low traffic and away from children. Next approach him while he is eating and gently say his name; if he looks up praise him and carefully toss a tidbit beside or into his bowl. Start at a distance from the bowl your pup seems comfortable with and over a number of meal times gradually decrease that distance, until you can get right beside the bowl before you give him the extra tasty morsel. Chances are that pup now wags his tail when you approach. Bingo, he has started to feel people coming to his bowl are not potential competitors at all but there to feed him yummy things.

If your dog exhibits serious aggression around food, space, other dogs or people, contact a reputable behaviourist.
