Business Profile

Everything is changing, including The Illusioneer! Some of you may know it as a tiny “shop front” you walk past on your way to the station in Herne Hill, others may have booked the tiny venue for a “Party Show” or special occasion. Some people believe “it only appears when you need it!” The reality is, I opened The Illusioneer Theatre and Studio nearly 10 years ago, as a place for me to perform and develop a number of shows in a theatre style for all ages. I developed three core shows that worked well for The Illusioneer brand and the Little Theatre but now it’s time for change. Over this time I sought to diversify the audience so a parlour show called “Midweek Magic Mix” was developed with other Illusionists and Magicians to bring in a new adult audience. The core team of Illusioneers have now been with me for over 5 Years and because of my background in theatre, events and TV they wanted me to promote a stage show and event to a bigger audience. After lots of different formulas we produced the now monthly event at Belair House called “The Bunco Show” a mixture of puzzles, illusions, mysteries, casino and street games, culminating in a fun cabaret at the end of the evening, a packed show with a great finish. 10 | SE23 - June 2019

With The Illusioneer brand now established and synonymous with quality shows and good entertainment, we wanted to spread our wings and to do this we needed to consolidate what works well for us! At the beginning of the year I sat down to think about projects for 2019 and realised that we now had a number of quality venues hidden away around South London especially in this area and we had a number of successful shows that would fit these great spaces. www.theillusioneer.co.uk | 07711 161 864 |

Garden Talk

Garden Talk with Janine Winlaw | Instagram @janinewinlaw Summer’s here at last, with everything bursting into bloom. Here’s what to do to keep it looking at its best.

Pruning Deadhead your roses to keep them flowering, likewise other perennials like geraniums and viola, snipping off browning heads or flower spires with secateurs. And pick sweet peas daily to keep them coming, filling your house with gorgeous scented. Old flower heads of Euphorbia characias should be pruned back now and oriental poppies can be cut right back after flowering too. Big clumps of hardy geraniums and nepeta (catmint) benefit from being sheared right back after flowering - to give them a second flush. Prune spring flowering shrubs such as weigela, philadelphus and deciduous magnolias, followed by a general purpose organic fertiliser and mulch. If you haven’t already, you can still prune evergreen topiary and hedges, taking about 5cm of new growth from box – ideally with pruning shears.

Planting If you haven’t already, now is the time to plant up your window boxes and with summer bedding plants to give you colour through the summer months. For the veg growers, if you haven’t already, plant out runner beans, courgettes, and tomatoes – which like a sunny wall, lots of water and a weekly high potash fertiliser. If you have a large clump of irises, now, after flowering, is the time to divide them up to make new plants. You can also continue to plant out gladioli. Thin out hardy annual seedlings such as cornflowers or nigellas, sown in May.

Tidying Mow the lawn once or twice a week – little and often is the best way to create a healthy lawn. Raise the blades if it’s dry and make sure newly laid grass doesn’t dry out. Keep on top of weeds - digging out perennials like dandelions from lawns or beds –any roots left can regrow. Cut down dead foliage on bulbs – around six weeks after flowering and ideally when 12 | SE23 - June 2019

it’s gone yellow. Stake tall perennials like phlox and hollyhocks to avoid them collapsing or being battered by rain. Keep tying in climbing and rambling roses to – ideally horizontally to encourage more flowers. Prune Clematis montana back into its allotted space, as well as honeysuckle and other vigorous climbers. Look out for aphid infestations and squeeze them off with your fingers or spray them off with soapy water. And keep a look out for slugs and snails, particularly around new shoots and after its rained. Take them off by hand and drown them in a bucket of water or use organic slug pellets or beer traps (jars of beer sunk into the soil to attract and drown slugs!). Surround ripening strawberries with straw to keep them off the soil and protect fruit bushes with netting.

Watering and feeding… Give the garden a good soak once or twice a week in warm weather, concentrating on newly planted shrubs and trees. You may need to water containers daily when it’s hot – particularly if they’re newly planted. Ideally water in the morning or evening. Apply or renew a mulch of well-rotted manure to cut down on weeding and watering – ideally after a downpour, as mulch keeps water out, as well as in. Feed flowering pot plants weekly with liquid fertiliser and give hungry plants like sweet peas and clematis a mid season boost of general purpose organic fertiliser such as blood fish and bone, and water in.

Scallops with Pancetta & Coriander Recipes from Suzanne James

| www.suzannejames.co.uk

t is scallop season again! There are two scallop seasons – June to August and December to February. Our preference is always to serve hand dived Orkney scallops, or if that isn’t possible then farmed scallops – avoid buying those that have been collected through dredging as this causes damage to the seabed. The recipe below is lovely as an Amuse Bouche, but can be easily adapted to form a starter by making more scallops and serving them on a bed of wild rocket.

Ingredients Serves approximately: 4 People Preparation: 30 Minutes. Cooking 5-10 Minutes • 4 large, cleaned scallops (keep the shells) • A Teaspoon of chopped coriander & few leaves for garnish • Zest of 1 lime • 75g unsalted butter • 50g Pancetta, cubed • Salt & Pepper

Method 1) Heat oven to 160°C. 2) Heat a frying pan to medium high, add 50g butter and cook until it foams (but does not burn), season the scallops and then seal on both sides. Remove and put onto a baking tray, then into the oven for 3-4 minutes while you make the sauce. 3) In the same pan you fried the scallops in, add 25g more butter to what is already there and add 50g chopped pancetta. Cook until golden. 4) Add the chopped coriander and the zest of 1 lime to the pan. 5) Remove scallops from the oven and place one in each shell. 6) Tilt the frying pan and spoon the pancetta/ lime/coriander butter mixture over the top of each one. 7) Decorate with fresh coriander leaves and serve. There are variations of this dish which include using chorizo, chopped fresh tomatoes and a parsley or even spring onion, chilli and bacon. Whichever you prefer, enjoy! 14 | SE23 - June 2019

Financial Matters

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

Would you pass a financial MOT? It’s the dawn of a new year, now is the time to review all your financial matters. Here are 5 disturbing questions you should be asking yourself.

1) Are you living within your means? If your outgoings exceed your income, it’s time to take a deep breath and get your house in order. The consequences of debt are dire! Take a close look at your outgoings and compare them to what comes in. Write a list of everything that goes out of your bank account and credit card account. Add it up. If the total is over or too close to your net income for comfort, grab a red pen and ruthlessly cross out those things on the list that you can do without.

2) Is your money working for you or against you? Think about this: when you borrow money from your bank, they charge you a sometimes whopping rate of interest. They pass on some of this interest gained to their savers. However some Banks are more generous than others. It’s easier than ever to switch accounts – your new Bank will transfer direct debits and standing orders for you.

3) Are you putting any money aside for a rainy day? Putting aside a modest amount of money every month can mount up significantly. A modest £250 put aside every month for the last 10 years would amount to a substantial £30,000 today. If you haven’t been saving like this, project this image into the future and start today.

4) Do you have all the must–haves for your age group? • 20 +: Pension. It may seem ridiculous to be thinking about retirement at this early stage of your life but this is the right time to set up a pension plan. • 30 +: Your own home. It’s becoming easier 24 | SE23 - June 2019

Photo by Helloquence on Unsplash

and easier to get a mortgage, with schemes like Help to Buy available. 30+ is the right time to start planning. • 35+: Financial protection. Your finances should now be more flexible. With marriage and children comes responsibility and the need for financial protection. It is essential that you speak with your financial adviser to ensure that you have the right plan for your circumstances. • 40+: An investment portfolio. At this stage of your life, you should be thinking about an investment portfolio of some sort to build your liquid reserves. Seek advice. • 50+ A retirement plan. At this stage of your life, you should know exactly what sort of retirement you will have in a few years’ time. • 60+ A Will, mortgage paid off and succession planning for your family.

5) What would the financial consequences be if ... You lost your job or got made redundant? You became seriously ill for a long period of time? You contracted a critical illness such as cancer, stroke or a heart attack? You died leaving a dependant spouse and children behind? You found yourself at retirement age? You needed specialist medical care and found yourself on a long NHS waiting list? It’s always a good idea to plan for the unexpected. If any of the above questions are disturbing to you because you are ill prepared, speak to your financial adviser. One thing is for certain. No one plans to fall ill or die. But failing to plan for the unexpected could ruin a lifetime of hard work.

Six Ways to Increase Self-Esteem Last month was National Teen Self-Esteem Month and it got me thinking about the ways that we can nurture and support both our own and others’ sense of self worth and confidence. Teenagers have a lot to contend with these days, what with peer pressure, study and exam stress and the growing problem of bullying in schools. Social media can heighten the pressure to look and behave a certain way, to have the perfect body, own the latest gadget or wear the best trainers. There’s a tendency to look at others’ lives portrayed on sites like Instagram or Facebook and think that we don’t quite match up or that we aren’t good enough in some way. Teenagers are also dealing with practical, social and physical changes and of course hormones! Self-esteem is easily damaged, especially during childhood and teenage years. Of course I believe that it can be repaired and enhanced, so that as adults we can thrive, fulfill our full potential and be happy. I still think though, that preventative measures are always better than a cure. It is possible to really instill a strong sense of self in young people and this will stand them in good stead to deal the challenges of their future lives. Here are some points to bear in mind to help empower our young people to believe in themselves and to love and accept themselves just as they are. These points spell out the word TRUSTE and the principals can be applied to help ourselves as well as others; T - Is for TRUST. This means to put our trust in others and let them know that we trust them to do the right things. Also, to ensure others can trust us we need to lead by example, do what we say we’re going to do and act in the way that we want others to behave. R - Is for RESPECT. Giving others the space they need when they want to be solitary or when they want to give time to something that’s important to them. Respect means listening to others’ points of view and their ideas, letting them develop their opinions and their unique individuality.

Photo by William Farlow on Unsplash

U - Is for UNCONDITIONAL. Love and respect for others shouldn’t be based on them being faultless. We’re all human and we all make mistakes. Even if you’re disappointed by the actions of a child or teenager, they should still feel that they are loved and accepted. The best words that should be taught to kids are “I am enough”! S - Is for SUPPORT. Listening to others and taking an interest in them is one of the biggest ways you can show emotional support. T - Is for TEACH. Young people need to be guided and shown the way sometimes. Guidance in the best way to deal with emotional issues or how to respond to other’s actions that affect us (bullying for example), is so essential. Life skills should be taught in schools along with all the other subjects, in my opinion. E - Is for ENCOURAGE. We all need encouragement to thrive and to develop the confidence we need to be happy and fulfilled in life. I think young people should be encouraged to be themselves and to go for what they want in life. I hope you have enjoyed reading and find the TRUSTE principals helpful for yourself and others.

High Flying Cats

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

e all know cats are good at climbing and some get so fixated on animals like birds and squirrels that they will climb very high into trees and sometimes even up buildings, to try to get them. The downside of this (if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll excuse the pun) is that a fair few cats while focussed on their prey do the climbing part very well, but once the hunt is over they discover they do not know how to make the descent and get stuck. The instinct to climb is very strong in most cats and they have the perfect physical equipment for it, including sharp, curved claws, allowing them to get purchase on rough surfaces and haul themselves up, rather like a mountaineer uses ice picks. Fossil science has even identified a cat ancestor from the Oligocene period some 25 million years ago. Proailurus (meaning early cat) had nearly identical conformation to our modern domestic cat and most likely stalked its prey from tree branches, keeping it safer from dinosaurs. Many cat owners overlook this deepseated, ancestral urge to climb and discover their kitties perfecting hunting skills by clawing their way up curtains or other dangling, fluttering items. Cats also instinctively like to perch in high places, giving a vantage point from which to spy out prey and predators. Inside the home spiders, insects or any moving object may substitute as prey; the point is the cat has an overwhelming urge to perform these hunting type behaviours, so it is better to channel them if we can. We also know cats are highly territorial and this applies to vertical as well as horizontal space. A cat that has a high perch to climb will feel more content and secure. Like us, cats can suffer from depression and anxiety and very often chronic boredom is the culprit. Setting up multiple indoor climbing and resting spots at varying heights is beneficial, and will help prevent conflict between space sensitive cats in homes where there is more than one animal. Though specialist shelf units and climbing apparatus can be purchased, provision of indoor

26 | SE23 - June 2019

climbing and resting points need not cost a fortune. For those into DIY, simply stacking and covering various lengths of wood in carpet offcuts, creates a perfect climbing frame. Add to the top a cardboard or wooden box, with holes cut into it so the cat can run in and out, and you have a highly desirable cat retreat. So what about the high climbing outdoor cats? If climbing is so very instinctive why is it that some cats get stuck and unable to get down again? The answer is simple, there is a parting of the ways between instinct and physical design. Unlike many tree dwelling animals that easily climb and then descend head first, cats are not physically equipped to do this, their claws can only grip in one direction. Animals like squirrels have a special extra joint that allows their feet to rotate back, so the claws turn to grip on the way down. Cats can only descend backwards, tail pointing to the floor. This way the catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claws can still dig into the surface it is climbing, but it can be a precarious business. Some cats learn by trial and error to descend backwards but others never do and, unable to resist the lure of prey up high, have to be rescued again and again.

Fit & healthy for the summer

Fitness tips with Leanne Spencer | www.bodyshotperformance.com

Have you run out of time to get fit & healthy for this summer? I would say absolutely not, there is still plenty of time to get your body and your mind in better shape and get you feeling really good about your summer holiday. If your fitness levels are not great at the moment, the first thing to do is start increasing your daily life movement. Getting out there and walking much as you can, lifting some heavy things, whether that’s lifting your children up or whatever it is that you do – but start moving the body. Do compound movements – these are movements that involves multiple joints. For example, when you sit down in a chair and get back up again, you’re using the knee joint, the hip joint, and you’re using the ankle joint as well. One of the things I absolutely love recommending to people is running or jogging. It’s not necessarily for everyone, but it’s a really great way of toning and what I love about it most is you immediately start seeing improvement straight off the bat. It takes about two weeks and you can build up a nice base of aerobic fitness and start seeing some progress with your running which is always nice. You run a minute without stopping, then you do two minutes, then three minutes. People I know including family members have had some good success with an NHS programme called the Couch to 5K. You could also try different types of exercise. For me, it’s boxing, it’s circuits, and it’s spinning at a place called Psycle (based in London), otherwise, you can find spin classes all over the country. There are all sorts of different forms of exercise, another one I really love is called animal flow, which is a body-wear exercise - that’s a lot of fun, but you need a bit of base fitness for that. The key thing is to find something that you love and you really enjoy so you can get that consistency. But it just takes a few weeks to get that, but it’s good to start now. If you’re thinking about some of the aesthetic of fitness,

then you’re going to want to watch what you eat. I’d recommend doing some testing to find out what your ideal personal diet is for you, but also just go back to basics. Minimise your refined carbohydrate, include lots of vegetables and some fruits into your diet. Eat two, three meals a day, you could play around with time restricted feeding – which is eating breakfast as late as you can and dinner as early as you can so you’re just eating in a very short window of time. Intermittent fasting works for some people as well. I don’t know you so I can’t give you a personal recommendation, but that’s worked well for some people and there’s some good science behind it. The upshot of this is it’s definitely not too late. Start moving your body, start paying a little bit more attention to what you’re eating, and what you’re drinking as well. If you are thinking of trimming and toning, we drink a lot of calories in coffee, soft drinks, and things like that. Add in more water, be mindful of your alcohol, and good luck.

The Last Word

with – Hayley John-Charles | hayleyjohncharles.notjusttravel.com/ The one thing you couldn’t do without? My UK Qveri wine!!! It is the 1st ever UK naturally made wine so no additives and I love it!

Do you belong to any groups? I belong to BNI SE London network referral group. Last year I got 45% of my business from BNI. It’s a great way of making new business contacts and support for a small business owner as it can be quite lonely working for yourself. I am excited that we will be opening a new group in Dulwich on June 13th at Bel Air house on Gallery Road, Dulwich Village, SE21.

Describe your perfect weekend I work 7 days a week and I like to be available to my customers if they are travelling. Other than that, I am usually catching up on housework and family activities.

What is your favourite place to eat? I am a personal travel consultant and run my own franchise of Not Just Travel, I love finding the ideal holiday for my customers and hearing all about their travels on their return. I am also BNI ambassador that supports members in growing their business.

Ponte Nuovo Restaurant in Crystal Palace. It has a really nice friendly atmosphere in there and I love Italian food.

How long have you lived in the area?

The best meal I’ve ever had..

I have lived in Lewisham Borough all my life and I have lived in SE23 for 31 years.

What has changed most during that time? Forest Hill has a handful of shops and I have seen them change ownership so many times. The biggest change is no longer having any banks in the area.

What do you most value about the area/street you live in? My neighbours. We don’t live in each other’s pockets but whenever we need to come together to support each other we do. It’s a real sense of community. Kids can play safely on the green areas.

What one thing would you change? To end online businesses that rip people off with cheap alternatives and make it harder for small local businesses to survive. 32 | SE23 - June 2019

Coffee or tea? Where? Peppermint tea and love to sit outside on a nice warm day at Gail’s Bakery in Dulwich Village. I have just come back from a site visit at Secrets hotel in Jamaica. At Blue Mountain Restaurant the food was to die for. They also catered so well for my dietary needs as I am a non-dairy person.

The best kept secret... I always say to my customers I am the secret you can share. So I have to say it’s me!

The book I’m reading at the moment.. “The Chimp Paradox” @NJTHayleyJC @ notjusttravelhayleyjohncharles
