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 | SE23 - 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 | SE23 - 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

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

Financial Matters with Akwasi Duodu

Pensions Advice Five Ways To Give Your Employer’s Pension Scheme A Boost A lot of thinking went into a setting up a personal pension in the old days, especially when there wasn’t an employer’s pension scheme you could join. You’d have to decide on your risk appetite, which pension provider to go with, your investment strategy, which funds to invest in, your target income in retirement and finally make a decision on how much to contribute. Most would need the help of a financial adviser in making these important decisions. Today, life is a lot easier. Most employed people have an employer’s pension scheme they can join and largely, these difficult decisions are made for you. You join your employers pension scheme, decide how much you would like to pay every month and that’s it. Most employers pension schemes have a default fund choice, have set amounts you can contribute and will have a retirement date set for you at outset. Things like target income and investment strategy rarely enter the discussion. But is that a good thing? Yes and no. Yes, because having too much choice can lead to analysis paralysis and prevent one from making a decision. Yes, because less choice means less need for advice which costs money. But a big NO, because taking the default option is lazy and may not deliver the results you require. So how can you have both your cake and eat it? Here’s how.

1) Join It The first step is to join your employers’ pension. At the very least, ensure you pay as much as you can to receive the maximum contribution from your employer; especially if you are older.

2) Get Advice Do you know how much you’d want as an income in retirement? Do you know what sort of risk you’d need to take to achieve that goal? Do you know 24 | SE23 - March 2019

what your investment options and choices are? With the help of an independent financial adviser, you could get more out of your employers’ pension.

3) Have A Strategy If you’re younger, you may decide to start with an aggressive investment strategy and then tone it down a bit as retirement approached. Would you consider a low-cost tracker fund or a managed fund? What about the individual shares you are investing in? Would you prefer ethical funds or is performance everything, regardless of how it is achieved?

4) Take Stock Of What You Already Have If you’ve changed jobs a few times, you may well have old pension schemes from previous employers. What to do with them? Good ones, such as final salary schemes would be worth keeping but others may be worth transferring into your current employers’ pension, thereby giving the fund value a boost and benefiting from economies of scale as many pension providers reduce charges for larger balances.

5) Review To Ensure You Are On Track Without a fair amount of luck, long term investments such as pensions can’t simply be left alone and expected to deliver the desired results. They need to be monitored, tracked, reviewed and tweaked. This is where having an independent financial adviser with the right retirement planning tools could help. This advice, which, would of course, come at a cost could potentially make a huge difference to your retirement provision. And that’s it. A little time invested could make a huge difference. Whist’s employers’ pensions may be considered confusing and boring, remember that retirement itself would be the longest holiday of your life. Imagine not having the financial resources you’d need with all that time on your hands? Unthinkable. Akwasi Duodu akwasi@sterlingandlaw.com www.sterlingandlaw.com

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

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.

Five Tips To Create Blogs… That Your Ideal Clients Will Read 3) Think ahead Creating a blog is one thing, promoting it another? Yes and no. Thinking about how and why you will promote your blog while you’re writing it will help you to: • keep your ideal client in mind • structure your blog in “digestible”, readable and engaging sections • encourage readers to react to your blog

4) Views, comments

You do great work, your product’s a winner. Attracting your perfect customer… that can be a challenge. Here are five ideas to create blogs that will keep your ideal clients and referrers coming back for more.

1) Clarity, motivation Why are you blogging? Who is your ideal client? Who are your referrers? Clarity about that will help you create and promote regular blogs. As website designers White Heat Design put it in a blog of their own: … chang[e] your mindset from that of a business owner to that of your perfect customer. What are they looking for and why are you the right fit? Cracking that will keep you motivated too. Why? You’ll be clearer about why you’re putting in time and effort to publish regular blogs on your website.

2) Finish, start again You’ve just created a blog. It’s on the way to being read, commented on, shared…. Start another one right away. A draft, even of a few words, will spur you on to get back to it.

Set yourself targets. How many people will read your blog? How many will add a comment at the end? (I aim for at least three comments per blog.) Include a “call to action” – often an open question – that encourages readers to give their views. When you send your blog post to people in your network, ask them to add a comment too. Offer to do the same on their blog or a recent LinkedIn post.

5) Images Readers can quickly be put off by a wall of text. Compelling images – especially that nod to design of your website and branding – will help people to keep reading. Take a look at the websites Pixabay and Unsplash, for instance. (Please credit the photographer.) Images will also help you promote your blog on social media. You may not manage to blog every week; fortnightly or monthly may be more manageable to start with. Posting consistently useful, interesting and engaging content – finding your blogging voice – can be a process of trial and error. Give yourself the chance to get into your stride. It will be well worth the time and effort. This article is based on a longer blog. Add a comment? Please do. https:// briandmcgee.com/marketing/blog-weekly-5-tipsto-create-blogs-your-ideal-clients-will-read briandmcgee.com | +44 (0)7801 943 007 brian@briandmcgee.com SE23 - March 2019 | 27

The Last Word – Jessica Rose What has changed most during that time? Lots of new coffee shops – which is my idea of heaven. I love Canvas and Cream, St Davids and it is great to have a bunch of others to try too. I work from home a lot so these are great mini-trips out in the day. And having a toddler makes coffee essential!

Where are you to be found on Saturday? The Horniman is a regular for us. We are so lucky to have such a great resource on our doorstep I can remember my parents taking me to see the fish when I was little and my little one loves it now. Also a big fan of brunch so mayo park or C&C is great for that too.

When I want to relax... The mind, body, therapy centre has some incredible massages, the hot stone is my personal favorite but all are amazing. They also have a sauna, which is on my list to try. The fact that they are walking distance from my house is perfect for a stroll home after a relaxing massage.

What do you most value about the area?

Hello I’m Jessica Rose I Live in Forest Hill and am the Founder of the London Jewellery School and Jewellers Academy. We teach jewellery-making skills to people of all walks of life including silverwork, stone setting,metal clay, beading, glass and business skills. I am also mummy to a lovely (almost) 2 year old boy.

How long have you lived in the area? A long time, I grew up in Dulwich moved around south London for a while in my early 20s and moved to Forest Hill around 4 years ago. I love it!

The bi-annual open studios on Havelock walk are brilliant, if you haven’t been I recommend it. There are lots of lovely artists and crafters selling their work, music, a lovely vibe and usually a pizza van or two (they park outside our house and give us free pizza!). It is wonderful to have all that on your doorstep.

Do you belong to any groups? Yes, the cooking with scissors monthly local business networking event, I joined recently and it is a great place to meet local entrepreneurs and small business owners. I also really enjoy the Featured in 15 events at the Signal Pub each month, they are very inspiring ted-style 15 min talks around a topic. A great way to spend an evening.

What brought you here? Havelock walk – that is where I live and the houses are so beautiful and unique. I love that many of them are also artists/ creative studios and the community that creates. I am a jeweller and I help other jewellers to run successful jewellery businesses online with the Jewellers Academy so being part of a creative community was invaluable to me. 32 | SE23 - March 2019
