SE23 relies on all our lovely, local advertisers to be able to produce this magazine, so if you do give them a call or drop them an e-mail, please do say where you heard about them.

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.

If you’d like to spend an evening with other people who are passionate about SE23, then just ring the restaurant to book (mentioning it's for The 23 Club). They’ll seat us all on one or two big tables, depending on numbers.

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. The venue is the Perry Hill pub, 78 Perry Hill, 020 8699 5076. This is for Forest Hill Society members and their guests. We hope as many of you as possible will support these events.

Holiday-Proof Your Garden Garden Talk with Janine Winlaw | Instagram @janinewinlaw

I

t’s depressing coming home to a neglected garden. But a few simple jobs before you go away will help your garden survive for a few weeks without you. Here are 10 things to do before you head off on your travels.

1) Move your pots to semi-shade, grouping them together to increase shade and humidity.

Put them on saucers to catch rainwater or on soaked capillary matting. (But check the forecast, as plants don’t like to be in standing water.) Or consider installing an irrigation system. Any favourite plants that easily dry out can be sunk into soil to keep them cool, drenching the surrounding earth and giving it a mulch.

2) As well as deadheading repeat flowering plants like cosmos, think ahead by removing the flowers as well – or pick a bunch of flowers to give to friends and neighbours.

3) To avoid coming back to a weedy mess, it’s really worth removing as many weeds as you can before you go away, digging out the whole root of perennial weeds such as thistle and bindweed.

4) Mulching your borders with bulky organic matter such as compost, well-rotted manure or bark will keep weeds down and moisture in – make sure you drench the soil first. Or just concentrate on newly planted or thirsty shrubs and perennials and don’t worry so much about drought tolerant ones like iris, lavender and rosemary.

5) If you go away at lot think about growing more drought tolerant plants. As a rule grey/ silver plants like Stachys byzantina, small leaved herbs or fleshy leaved plants such as sedum will survive without much water once they’re established.

6) If the forecast is for lots of rain, remember to protect plants like hostas from slugs – try organic wool slug pellets or try making beer traps by sinking a jar of beer into the soil. Clearing dead foliage will also help remove places for slugs and snails to hide.

7) Check that the stakes on tall perennials are secure – wind and rain can easily knock them over and damage surrounding plants too.

12 | SE23 - July 2019

8) Pick as many peas and beans as you can, blanching and freezing anything you can’t eat.

Raspberries and currants can also be frozen. And pick all courgettes even very small ones, which are particularly tasty, to avoid coming back to marrows. Remove weed seedlings with a hoe or by hand, especially anything close to plants.

Water thoroughly before you go but ideally persuade a friend to come and help.

9) Edge your lawn to neaten it up and clear areas where slugs might lurk. Mow the lawn a few days before you leave but don’t cut it too short if the weather is going to be hot and dry – long grass copes much better with drought than short grass.

10) As with outdoor containers, it’s worth moving houseplants to a shady spot while you’re away, watering them thoroughly first. Anything particularly thirsty or in smaller pots will benefit from sitting on a damp cloth or in a sink or bath.

Summer Pudding Loaf Recipes from Suzanne James

B

| www.suzannejames.co.uk

link and you will have missed the first half of 2019 like I have. Where on earth did January to June go? Here we are in July, the height of the summer and at last the time when we all can enjoy the very best of the summer berries. Personally, I like nothing better than a classic Summer Pudding but rather than bread, I do prefer to make it with slices of brioche for that extra richness. There are many recipes available on line however, my own is simply divine and very quick too. One must have a regular tin of beans to hand to weigh it down but apart from that rather out of sorts ingredient, the rest is as follows.

Ingredients Serves: 6. Prep Time: Overnight Cook Time: 10 minutes or less • An 850ml pudding basin • 1 large brioche loaf • 250g English strawberries, stalk removed and cut into quarters • 250g English raspberries • 250g English blueberries • 250g English blackberries • 100g English redcurrants + homemade raspberry coulis: • 500g frozen raspberries • 50g icing sugar • 100ml water

Method 1) Put the coulis ingredients in a saucepan, bring to the boil, remove from the heat and then either blitz with a hand blender / magi mix or press through a sieve with the back of a spoon! Voila, raspberry coulis!!

2) Put half of the coulis aside for the fruit and use half for the bread.

3) Line the pudding basin with clingfilm, so that a little bit is overhanging.

4) Cut the Brioche loaf into slices of about 5mm thick and carefully and dip one side into the coulis (retain a few slices without dipping for topping off the pudding). Place the dipped slices into the bowl, with the red side facing the glass and repeat until the whole bowl is lined.

14 | SE23 - July 2019

5) Now take your remaining coulis mix and fold the fruit into it until it is fully covered. You don’t want the mixture to be too wet, so it’s best not to add all the coulis at once, but a little at a time until you have a firm but wet mix. Pour the mixture on to the bread in the bowl right up to the top.

6) Place the last few slices of bread over the fruit mix until all the fruit is covered.

7) Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of the bread, then a plate that fits perfectly inside the bowl. Now place the tin of beans on top to weight the bread down. Place in a fridge for up to 24 hours to allow the bread and fruit to set.

8) To serve, remove the beans, the plate and the parchment sheet. Carefully holding a plate over the dish, flip it over and with a slurp the summer pudding should free itself from its dish prison!

9) All you need to do now is cut and serve with a good glug of cream on the side!

Financial Matters

With Akwasi Duodu | akwasi@sterlingandlaw.com | www.sterlingandlaw.com

Renting v buying – how do we compare with Europe?

I often hear people say that young people in the UK worry too much about getting onto the property ladder. Why not be more like some of our European neighbours, who are happy to rent for their entire lifetimes without feeling robbed? What are the facts? Is it true that Europeans differ from us completely when it comes to property ownership?

Property ownership in the UK There are approximately 25 million homes in the UK, 63% of which are owner occupied. With purchasing property becoming more of a challenge for young people, this figure is likely to fall in the future. It is predicted that by 2025, 50% of the population under forty will be renting. With the average price of a property in London priced at around nine times the average annual salary, London is predicted to fair even worse.

Property ownership in Europe Whilst we are well known in Europe for being a nation of homeowners, many European countries have a higher owner occupancy rate than us. With the UK at 63%, Romania comes top of the list with home ownership at 96% followed closely by Slovakia, Slovenia and Poland. Purchasers in Romania only have to find a deposit of 5% of the property value and there is no stamp duty to worry about. House prices are also comparatively reasonable being at around 2.5 to 3 times the average salary – a bit like the UK house-buying conditions of the 90s. With it getting more and more difficult to purchase in the UK, it looks increasingly likely that we will fall further behind our European neighbours.

Renting property in the UK It is awfully difficult for those renting to raise a deposit to buy. With purchase deposits in the UK at around 15% of the property value for a decent mortgage deal, raising this becomes increasingly difficult what with increasingly crippling rental rates. In London, the average tenant spends 72% of 24 | SE23 - July 2019

their net salary on rent – this rises to a staggering 88% for those under 25 years old. How do you raise a deposit when so much of your income goes on rent? This is a real problem and has led to many would-be first-time buyers staying at home with their parents for longer.

Renting property in Europe One European country famed for its love of renting is Germany. Only 52% of Germans own property.

So why do so many Germans choose to rent a property over purchasing one? The reason is that the average German only spends 25% of their net income on rent compared to the UK’s figure of 72%, They therefore have a much higher disposable income to spend on other things. Also, the cost of renting v buying in Germany is similar, with no clear advantage of one over the other.

Plan ahead There is no clear advantage of renting vs buying in most of Europe but there is a clear difference for us here I the UK where it is much more effective to buy than rent; but it’s also a case of being able to save enough money for a deposit in the first place. This is a huge challenge and has resorted to a new high street bank called Bank of Mum and Dad. Once your deposit has been found, the best strategy would be to take out a capital repayment mortgage that would come to an end when you retired. You could then spend the rest of your days living in your property rent and mortgage free with only your bills to think about. Sadly, you are likely to continue to feel robbed while you rent.

Adventures in the Great Outdoors Education News from Alleyn's | www.alleyns.org.uk Richard Alldrick, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Coordinator at Alleyn’s, tells us how to help our children get the benefits of being outdoors.

Having seen countless children through their Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards over the last 20 years, Richard is a keen advocate of the scheme. Apart from its focus on volunteering and skills, it also gets young people into the great outdoors, which is especially valuable and healthy for our London-based children.

We all know that getting active and being outside is good for our physical and mental health and many parents are keen to reduce screen time and encourage socialising - away from social media. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme is run by many schools and youth groups but there are plenty of other ways to get your child active outdoors - and the great news is that many of them are low-cost or free.

Get Them While They Are Young Young children generally gravitate to all things natural. You can nurture this innate interest from a young age, with a garden or local park as great starting points. Encourage your child to interact with nature in their play - be it jumping off tree stumps, collecting insects or stirring mud with a stick - and tell them it is fine to get wet and dirty… because it all comes out in the wash! Here are some more ideas: • Have a picnic dinner at a playground or park.

• Use some rope and an old sheet to build a den.

• Create a simple treasure hunt for your child and some friends.

• Get them along to an outdoor obstacle course such as Mini Mudders.

• Look into the Girlguiding and/or Scout Associations; their sections for different age groups offer outdoor activities such as camping and abseiling.

The Older Child As your child gets older you can encourage outdoor time by doing homework outdoors, planning a walk or camping overnight in your garden. With more

planning there are some great activities that might take you further afield: • Create an outdoor scavenger hunt for them and some of their friends. Dulwich or Sydenham woods would be a good start.

• Get them involved in Junior Park Runs or triathlons.

• Consider doing an orienteering course together – it is a great way to teach map reading and you can do it in an afternoon.

• Geocaching is an outdoor treasure hunting game that combines technology with adventure and can be enjoyed by the whole family. (See the link below for how to get started).

Encouragement If your child is not keen on the outdoors you could try giving them a few options so that they can decide which activity they would prefer, and if you join in too it will not only give you some quality time with them but your enthusiasm will be infectious. If all else fails, hide the remote control and switch off the Wi-Fi!

Are muzzles a good idea?

Pets Corner with Leonie St Clair | www.londondogstraining.co.uk

U

nder certain conditions even the friendliest dog can bite and a muzzle might be necessary. The very first time many dogs will ever wear a muzzle is at the vet for some sort of emergency procedure. Dogs that are frightened or in pain are much more likely to bite. Safety must come first, however sudden muzzling can make a traumatic experience even more difficult and may cause a lasting negative association for the dog, both with the vet clinic and the muzzle.

In my view, each dog should be taught to wear a muzzle as part of everyday life. This means that on the very rare occasion the dog has to be muzzled (travelling abroad or a veterinary procedure are just two examples) the dog is already relaxed about wearing one.

Muzzling can also be an important management tool as part of behaviour modification, especially in aggression cases, and for dogs that might be fearful of children or that are space- sensitive. However, even if a dog is muzzled, care should still be taken to avoid undue stress and exposure to things the dog fears or dislikes. For instance, regular muzzling of a dog that fears grooming should not be viewed as a solution; instead time should be taken to counter-condition the dog. Dogs that aggress with other dogs or humans should not be muzzled and then allowed off lead with other dogs or with humans. Even if your dog is muzzled you should make every effort to protect them from whatever triggers a fear aggressive response. In such cases, muzzling should be viewed as a short to medium term safety tool and an adjunct to behaviour modification with an expert.

The Dangerous Dogs Act, section 3, applies to every dog in the land, in public and private. It says that a dog that presents a risk is only viewed as under control if it is muzzled and on a lead. A dog does not actually have to bite to be viewed as out of control, perception by those on the receiving end of the dog’s behaviour is a factor.

Choosing a muzzle depends on the face shape of your dog. For most dogs a Baskerville Ultra muzzle is a great option and this can be used with a head collar. Properly fitted it is secure but allows your pet to pant, drink water and take treats (this last bit is vital for effective muzzle training).

Dogs with very narrow heads may do better with a greyhound basket muzzle and flat-faced, brachycephalic breeds will require a specialist bull breed muzzle. Seek advice from your vet as the dog must be able to breathe and must not overheat. However, do not consider using a sleeve muzzle of the type sometimes used by vets, this is not suitable for everyday use.

Finally, how do you teach your pet to wear a muzzle? First of all, don’t force the muzzle on.

Instead take days and even weeks to slowly build a very positive response to it. Start with the sight of the muzzle and reward, then have your dog retrieve treats from inside the muzzle, then reward the snap sound made by the muzzle fastener, next reward the strap fastened around the dog’s neck like a collar, then increase the duration the dog has their nose inside the muzzle, before putting it all together. Only progress each stage if the dog is relaxed and happy. Having lots of treats and rewards the dog loves is vital. The aim is to use classical conditioning so the dog has a ‘yipee’ response to the muzzle and is relaxed to wear it anywhere. For more information see: https://muzzleupproject.com/

How T0 Lower Your Blood Your Pressure

Fitness tips with Leanne Spencer | www.bodyshotperformance.com I’m Worried My Blood Pressure Is Too High, How Can I Lower It? Are you worried about your blood pressure and not sure how you can lower it? Maybe your doctor has told you that you have high blood pressure, or maybe you keep a track with a kit and you do your own blood pressure testing and it’s a little bit higher than you’d like it to be.

There are lots and lots of things you can do to lower your blood pressure. Popular belief has had us believe that salt intake is linked with hypertension – which has been dismissed slightly now. It’s not a bad idea to have a look at the salt content in your food. Often, if you’re consuming a lot of salt, it’s because you’re eating refined and processed foods – and we know that’s not healthy for us.

The best drug-free brilliant remedy for high blood pressure is exercise but ensuring the appropriate type and intensity of exercise. If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, I strongly recommend you consult a doctor or a personal trainer or both before you start an exercise programme designed to lower your blood pressure.

Another thing you can look at is monitoring your caffeine intake. If you drink a lot of caffeine it has a blood pressure elevating effect upon the body, so try and reduce your caffeine intake. We know from Professor Matthew Walker’s brilliant book, Why We Sleep, that caffeine has a quarter life of 12 hours. A cup of coffee at 9.00am (for most of us), there’s still going to be remnants of caffeine at midnight. Caffeine is not only going to elevate our blood pressure, but it also causes problems with sleep and a lack of sleep can also cause an increase in blood pressure.

Any form of stress upon the body can also increases our blood pressure. When it’s a good stress like exercise, that’s what we call eustress, and that’s good because the blood pressure will then correct itself when you recover. If it’s a distress, a bad form of stress, for example being very overweight, that is not a positive thing and that will also impact on your blood pressure.

Have a look at ways you can also reduce and manage your stress levels.

30 | SE23 - July 2019

I would suggest exercise is your best course of action but, as I caution you, appropriate type and intensity of exercise - that is probably the remedy for so many different things. Sir Liam Donaldson, the former Chief Medical Officer, called it a wonder drug or a miracle cure. Exercise is the remedy for a great many things.

If you are worried about your blood pressure, firstly you must get it checked and make sure you have actually got high blood pressure and you’re not just guessing. Always consult a doctor and think about consulting a personal trainer to help you work out the most suitable type and intensity of exercise that will work for you. So, get yourself out there and exercise your way back to good health.

The Last Word with – Alice Tate-Harte

diverse people and a caring community. And of course The Forest Hill Society who have saved all the great things about a Forest Hill, including all the planting in the station forecourt.

What one thing would you change?

Less cars! People use cars more in South East London because public transport isn’t as good and there are many families with kids to ferry around. To entice people out of their cars we are campaigning for greener streets, safe cycling lanes and “school streets” where streets are closed around schools at pick-up and drop-off.

Do you know your neighbours?

Yes they are lovely and are helping me with the campaign.

Do you belong to any groups?

Alice Tate-Harte is a painting restorer and local Mum living in Forest Hill. She set up Clean Air for SE23 this year and is a campaigner on air quality and greening London.

How long have you lived in the area?

Only one year but I know the area really well and have lived in SE London for 15 years.

What brought you here?

Friends, good schools and a nice community.

What has changed most during that time?

Air pollution has become a big thing in the press recently and I started to find out more about it.

I was familiar with how Air pollution affected the old paintings that I work on, but I didn’t realise how bad it was for our health. People are also getting more aware and concerned about climate change and want to know what they get can do to help.

What do you most value about the area?

The fantastic green spaces and woodland, the swimming pool and the library and the interesting old buildings. I also value the community spirit, 32 | SE23 - July 2019

I started Clean Air for SE23 earlier this year. It’s a grass roots group and we’ve teamed up with the Forest Hill Society Environment Committee and Street Trees for Living to improve the air quality in SE23 and surrounding areas. Check out the facebook group and the Forest Hill Society website; we’ve got a growing membership and we’d love you to get involved. Lewisham is really active and other groups like Climate Action Lewisham are working really positively and effectively with the council to make the borough greener. Other areas have had success in improving their areas (Deptford Folk, Clean Air for Catford, Cleaner and Greener Bromley and Beyond as well as Mums for Lungs) are doing excellent work.

If money was no object ..

I’d get proper safe cycle routes put in on all roads!

Areas best kept secret The secret bar under Leaf and Groove bookshop.

Pub or Cafe?

Guinness and Irish music night Blythe Hill Tavern.

Where’s your favourite place to walk?

Sydenham Hill woods.

When I want to relax...

Going swimming solo! www.foresthillsociety.com facebook group is Clean Air for SE23
