Hello Readers And a Happy New Year to you all! I hope you had a good Christmas and you are prepared for a great New Year. To start our New Year off, I have an exclusive interview with Eric Lanlard, otherwise known as CakeBoy. I do think he is an interesting man with a fantastic career. Imagine, cakes and more cakes! And just for our readers, he has been kind enough to share some of his recipes with us, so featured in this issue are a couple for Valentine’s Day. I hope to have more throughout the year. Another top chef I have an exclusive interview with is Paul Rankin, and I am planning to feature that next month, along with a recipe or two by him!

Edward Davey. He has been honoured with a Knighthood by the Queen. So he is now Rates Advertiser’s Guide Sir Ed! Price List - Our Prices Haven’t Increased for 2 Years 1 Issue

VAT

‘A Berrylands Companion’ is a small independent operation and is not registered for VAT. Consequently, no VAT is charged on advertisements.

Acceptable Formats

Adverts can be submitted in the following formats: • MS Word • MS Powerpoint • MS Publisher • TIFF & JPEG

Advert copy can be emailed to: karen@berrylandcompanion.com If your ad is not available in an electronic format then we can produce it for you, from your own hard copy text, normally for a fixed price of just £10, although this may be higher if you have a particularly complex advert! (This is a one-off charge - the advert could then be re-used in subsequent issues free of charge.)

Distribution

Copy and payment must be received by 16th of each month to guarantee publication of advert. Advertisement space is only guaranteed when full payment is made. Distribution numbers up to 8,000 each month.

The Companion will be published and distributed monthly, on or around the first weekend of the month. 10 editions a year. It will be delivered to over 12,000 homes in and around Berrylands and Surbiton over two months - guaranteed. In addition it is the first source of local information for anyone moving into the area.

Format & Design

It is an A5 size booklet, stapled with colour plus black and white printed on quality paper. The Companion will be printed on 115gsm gloss paper giving it a very high quality feel. It will have ‘longevity’ and because of it’s size, content, look and feel it will be kept by the majority of households until the next issue arrives, thereby giving advertisers ‘immdiacy’ of access’ when their services are required.

Improved health and fitness could involve any number of our facilities at Surbiton Racket and Fitness Club. At this time of year we welcome many new Members and their families, people who recognise the good sense of keeping their bodies fit and flexible. Our spacious Fitness Suite is invaluable for winter fitness. It extends over two floors of the Clubhouse and has some of the most advanced fitness aids, from cardiovascular to resistance machines and free weights. Next door is our Studio, where we run regular classes on Zumba, Pilates, Yoga and Indoor Cycling. And you can enjoy Cardiotennis and Racketball, too. Squash is naturally very popular at this time of year. We have four state-of-the-art courts, airconditioned and heated. There’s Squash Club Night every Saturday from 5.30pm onwards. It’s always a lot of fun and you can meet new friends and opponents. Beginners’ Night is on Sundays from 5pm to 6pm. And if you feel the need to improve your game, you can book time with our own Squash Coach at the Club Office. If tennis is your chief interest, there’s plenty going on, Winter or not. We have no less than nine hard courts, all fast-draining to be ready for play quickly after rain. Two of our courts are fully-enclosed in our Dome, to guarantee tennis in spite of any bad weather, even snow! Three of our hard courts are laid with synthetic clay, and this surface has proved to be a favourite with our Members. Almost all

says Roy Staniland

our hard courts are floodlit and can be booked in advance – a most popular facility with our Members. You would find that ours is a friendly, family Club, with plenty of social activities happening during the year, and especially in the winter months. Such as our regular Quiz Nights, which are usually packed out. There’s always something going on in the Club, and after your chosen activity you can happily relax afterwards in the Clubhouse Café and Bar with coffee or a drink. Cooked meals can be ordered from our menu. How much would the Club cost you? At this time of year there are some spectacular savings to be made*. Adults need pay only from £42 a month and 18-28s even less: from £37 a month. Juniors can get fantastic value at just £52 a year. So maybe now’s the time to benefit from these bargains! I am proud of our magnificent Club, with its thriving membership of all ages and sporting abilities. Why not pop in and look around? You’ll be sure of a warm welcome, with no obligation. I look forward to showing you all our many facilities, which are unmatched by any similar club in our area. Yours sincerely Roy Roy Staniland Director, Surbiton Racket and Fitness Club Berrylands KT5 8JT

skin. Thai brand Janjira is quite new to the UK, and specialises in spa quality products to indulge in at home. See www.janjira.co.uk.

Inspired by the 1920s, Deco London fragrances are glamourous and grown-up, with a fun side; they’re aimed at women, rather than girls, but these are women who know how to play. Choose from the floral bohemian Loretta, the sultry Millicent, or the oriental Constance. I love all three, but if I had to choose one it would be Millicent. It’s floral, but not too sweet, with scents of bergamot, mandarin, jasmine and musk combining to create a sensual, head turning fragrance. If you’re looking for a new signature scent, head to www.deco-london.com.

Another new skincare range to recently reach our shores is Swiss brand ananné. Natural skincare at its finest, ananné is organic, vegan and free from synthetic ingredients. Each product is the result of months (if not years) of scientific research, and is designed to nourish and energise the skin, improving its health rather than just providing a temporary fix. That being said, it doesn’t take long to see a visible improvement. Hero products include the Solacium Repair Serum, £130, and the Oculissiumum Eye Balm, £90. See www.ananne.co.uk.

A massage is a pretty sure fire way to get in someone’s good books. There are a lot of massage oils on the market to choose from, but personally I like the Therapy Massage Candle from Janjira. Once lit, the oils start to melt. Blow the candle out, pour the warm oil into your hand, and start the massage. It’s £30, but smells gorgeous, and the soybean and coconut oil feels lovely on your

The night you’ve been looking forward to for ages finally arrives. You have the perfect outfit. Your makeup is pristine. Then you look in the mirror and realise that your roots are startlingly obvious and there are grey hairs standing to attention all over the place. If this scenario sounds familiar, you might want to add the Kazumi Root Vanish to your emergency cupboard. Just brush it on and blow dry. The effect is temporary, but effective, and it stays put until you wash it out, so you

don’t need to panic if you get caught in the rain. There are five shades to choose from and it’s pretty good at covering grey hairs. What’s more, it’s packed with botanical extracts, and is very gentle, so is great if your hair needs a bit of a break from bleaching. Root Vanish costs from £30 and can be bought from Boots. Who wouldn’t wish for a fairy godmother on hand to wave her wand at times? Well, The English Mineral Makeup Company’s Fairy Godmother powder may not be able to turn your H&M jeans into a Stella McCartney gown, but it can help to soften the appearance of lines and leave

3 small eggs 3 small egg yolks 100g (3 ½ oz) plain flour, sifted

For me this is the easiest, almost foolproof, chocolate fondant recipe. The secret’s in the timing; don’t guess. Set your kitchen timer and you’ll be able to serve your friends the most tasty, warm, chocolatey dessert they’ve ever had. And an added bonus is that you can even prepare the fondants the day before!

Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180ºC)/400ºF/gas mark 6. Thoroughly butter four 200ml (7fl oz) ovenproof moulds (dariole moulds preferably), and dust lightly with the extra cocoa powder.

Melt the measured butter and the chocolate together in a large heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water (the base of the bowl must not touch the water).

In a large bowl, using an electric hand whisk, beat together the sugar, eggs and egg yolks until light and pale.

Pour the melted butter and chocolate over the egg mix and then fold in the sifted flour and measured cocoa using a metal spoon.

Place the individual moulds on a baking sheet. Pour the mixture into the prepared moulds, and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8 minutes.

When the outside is crisp to the touch, loosen the edges with a knife and carefully turn out of the moulds on to the serving plates. The centre should still be soft and lusciously saucy – just like me!

Serve with thick cream, crème fraîche or vanilla ice-cream.

Another of the Food Hero Chefs is James Martin, who was invited by P&O right at the start of designing Britannia, to come up with a Cookery School on board, the first of its kind. It is in the classroom/ kitchen of the school, that special cooks and chefs have been holding Masterclasses on various cruises. 61

Eric would be holding some classes with passengers in small groups, but before that he was interviewed by the ship’s Cruise Entertainment Officer, Tracy Clegg, in the Headliner Theatre on board Britannia, and the audience was made up of passengers, like ourselves. From quite a young age, Eric knew he wanted to make cakes, after he used to peer through the windows of the local pâtissiere shop. Later he would return here to start his apprenticeship. Eric explained that in France, where he was raised in Brittany, it is a different lifestyle, with the pâtissiere shop making a Sunday afternoon tea something very special. He would be sent to the shop to collect their cakes, which would be packaged in boxes and wrapped and tied with ribbons. He knew that this was something so special! Asked why he makes his cakes look ‘sexy’, Eric replied that he loves the presentation, which he maintains is very important as we eat first with our eyes first, so everything must look good. Eric states that ‘only good calories are used in his cakes’! He has now spent over 27 years being a pâtissier and celebrity chef.

After his apprenticeship, spent in Luxembourg with Arens-Scher, where he learnt the art of a chocolatier, Eric was called up for his compulsory Nation Service, and was given a choice of working at the Elysee Palace or going into the navy and the cruiser Jeanne d’Arc. He decided to serve in the French Navy. He was drawn

10 10

to the fact that there was travel abroad involved and was assigned to the cruiser Jeanne d’Arc, where there was one chef and Eric! He was made the private pastry chef for the Captain. He is keen to explain that in contrast to Britannia, this was a very basic ship, there was no air conditioning, but there were cockroaches! However, the ship was the flagship of the navy and when it docked at various ports around the world, it was as a representative of France. The captain had the choice of any works of art from French museums to hang in his cabin. The captain’s wife would fly out to join the ship at the various ports, and the crew knew when she was due on board, as there would be several large crates of clothes lined up along the dock. Eric recalled that one of the first big banquets he was involved in during his time on Jeanne d’Arc, was when the then French President, Francois Mitterand came on board. He was so impressed with Eric’s pastries, that he presented him with a pair of gold cufflinks. In 1989 Eric came to London to work with Albert and Michel Roux, where he started from the bottom and worked his way up. He impressed Albert, especially, and he promoted him to head pastry chef. Eric says that this was a great experience for him, as the Roux brothers had the choice of chefs and they could pick and choose who they thought was good. His one year lasted 5, before Eric left to set up his own first business. One of the first commissions he then had was to make a cake for Michel Roux Jnr, at Gavrouche when it opened. He also recently made the 80th birthday cake for Albert Roux. Amongst his other clients, were Guy & Madonna Richie when he made their wedding cake. He also made the late Queen Mother’s 100th birthday cake, when he went to town on the design. So when he was asked to make one for her 101st birthday, he was at a loss as to what it should have as decoration! In the end he made her favourite flavour cake, chocolate and raspberry with white icing, covered with fragrant English roses which had an incredible smell. He added two sugar corgis with wicked smiles, as if they had just been naughty. He then scattered over some jewels and a tiara on a tilt. Together with one of his assistants, he went to deliver the cake to Clarence House. At that time there was little in the way of security as we know it now. They drove up, explained what was on board and they were sent into the grounds. At the door, they carried the cake into the hall and placed it on the table. The Queen Mother’s Secretary came to look at the cake and said the Queen would be delighted. Before Eric left, the Queen Mother came out to look at the cake and was indeed delighted, especially with the corgis! She said they looked exactly like her dogs and was surprised to find that they were indeed edible. Eric said she was very tiny!

Asked what cakes get the most compliments or praise, Eric said it was the taste first. The cake could look good, but the taste had to be fantastic. He says that anyone can make cakes, but must be in the mood to do baking well. He himself does not have a sweet tooth, he prefers savoury, especially cheeses, which is his downfall. He says making cakes is like alchemy, and in France the cooking is done in the Laboritoire. Eric says to start making basic brownies and then build up a repertoire. The nickname Cake Boy came about, Eric says, when a friend introduced him to a ‘typical East End dodgy car dealer’ at a party. This person then said ‘oh, you’re the Cake Boy then?’ and the name stuck. Eric calls his business Cake Boy and has his Emporium in Battersea, where not only does he provide elegant afternoon teas with his fantastic cakes and pastries, he also has a cookery school on the premises. Eric was approached by the P&O design team 3 years before Britannia was launched, and they took him for afternoon tea. At which Eric announced he could do better! He was asked to get involved with the on board restaurant menus, and his special area is the Market Café situated in the atrium of Britannia. Here, passengers can have a coffee or tea with one of Eric’s signature cakes. He also comes on board for part of a cruise to hold masterclasses for the passengers lucky enough to reserve a place. I went to one, where we made a West Indian Chocolate Tart, including the chocolate pastry, a Fig, Lardon and Dolcelatte Flan, followed by Hot Chocolate Gingerbread Soufflés. Delicious!! Along with James Martin, whose baby is the Cookery School on Britannia, Eric went to Italy to see the ship being built. At that point, the cookery school was just a shell and they were shown mood boards to see what it would look like. James was panicking as it looked nowhere near complete, more like a rusty old empty swimming pool. James and the other Hero Chefs, Eric, Marco Pierre White and Atul Kutcher had to train the chefs that would represent them once the ship was launched. Eric handpicked the pastry chefs, whittling them down from 12 to 2 guys. He has a kitchen behind the Market Café, where Eric spends part of his days during a cruise, devising and teaching new cakes and pastries to the chefs. Eric gets to know if they change anything, as he gets messages via twitter or facebook from passengers with comments and pictures, so he can tell the chefs to correct it. On a previous cruise, swimmer Mark Foster was on board with his mother and he sent a message to Eric together with a photo to say thanks. Eric saw the photo and noticed that some of the candy was missing from the cake, so spoke to the chefs. It is that attention to details that sets his afternoon teas apart. If the idea of a typically British Afternoon Tea sounds odd coming from a Frenchman, he blames his mother, who is an avid Anglophile. As he grew up his mother would have English magazines such as Home and Design sent over, so she could copy things in there. Eric says it took them over 4 years to realise what to do with Christmas Crackers! They never realised that they were meant to

On Britannia there is a specialist restaurant called The Epicurean and this is the venue for Eric’s Special Afternoon Tea. There is a sense of occasion, and Eric suggest a glass of Champagne as well as the tea. When we went into the restaurant, the tables were laid with very crisp, bright white tablecloths and serviettes, with silver service cutlery. Each table had a cake stand delivered to them, like no other. It was a throw-back to the Art Decor period, with three black tiers with a silver chrome support and handle.

selection of small sandwiches and rolls, the centre tier had a chocolate patisserie that only Eric could devise, together with a deconstructed Eton Mess in a tiny kilner jar, as well as delicate almond cakes. The lowest layer had the lightest selection of scones. At each side of the stand were small white chocolate covered cake pops sprinkled with silver balls and topped with candy floss. Alongside we had a plate with butter, cream and jam for the scones. Do we jam first then cream, or cream then jam? According to Eric, he puts cream on first followed by the jam. Anything we couldn’t eat there and then, was neatly wrapped up in silver foil parcels to take to our cabins for a later feast. And it was as delicious as it all sounds. Eric is has a very busy time ahead. He is finishing a new book due in June, ‘Afternoon Tea With Eric Lanlard’. He is helping the planning of his Special Afternoon Teas to feature on P&O’s Ventura and Azura which has just started with more in the pipeline for the other ships in the fleet. On Mondays, Eric features in You Tube videos doing lessons live, which he really enjoys. Here, he can cater for special requests as well. And Eric is due back on Britannia later in 2016. You can take tea at Eric’s tea room Emporium and if you are interested, take a cookery class with the master himself. They even cater for groups and Hen Parties for example. Eric’s Cake Boy Emporium can be found at: Cake Boy, The Cookery School, Unit 8 Kingfisher House, Juniper Drive, London SW18 1TX. www.cake-boy.com

How about these? There’s the T-Bone steak, the Fillet and the Sirloin, all of them firm favourites. But there’s plenty of other cuts for you to choose - Rib Eye, Rump, Centre Cut, Onglet, Flat Iron, Flank Skirt and the Hanger, all delicious and waiting to tempt your palate! Our customers know that quality is our watchword at Jennings. Our beef comes from the finest farms in Scotland. Then, whatever the cut, all our beef is hung for a minimum of 21 days at our shop so that the natural enzymes in the meat can begin to break down the fibres and develop the distinctive taste for which our topquality beef is famous. After the romantic arrangements of Valentine’s, a word or two about the wintry months still to come. Traditionally, this is the time to keep warm with nourishing stews and casseroles.

12 12

Starting with beef, there are a number of cuts which are ideal for long stewing – chuck steak, or shin of beef. Oxtail and beef cheeks also have their own delicate flavor when cooked as slowly as possible. If your preference is for a lamb casserole, this can be slow-cooked to a wonderful delicacy. Shoulder and neck meat are ideal for this. Or, lamb shanks are fashionable nowadays. Braise them very slowly with vegetables and this should bring out the flavour and the juices. If you want pork, there’s lots of cuts to choose from. Pork belly is a real delicacy when cooked really slowly, as is shoulder meat. Both are ideal for ‘Pulled Pork’. How slow is slowly? It depends on the meat, of course. Beef shin might take two hours, but diced pork might need only an hour. You can’t go wrong cooking any of these cheaper cuts on a low heat for a long time. Happy eating! Best wishes Alan C D Jennings and Sons Traditional Quality Butchers since 1962 146 Ewell Road Surbiton KT6 6HE 020 8399 4870

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and fry gently over a low

heat for 5 minutes, until softened. Add the ground spices and fry for 1 minute. Increase the heat slightly, add the lamb and stir-fry until browned.

2. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, chickpeas, raisins, apricots and mint. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C)/400°F/gas mark 6. 4. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then divide between 4 x 250ml (8fl oz) individual pie dishes and leave to cool.

5. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut out 4 discs slightly bigger than the diameter of the top of the pie dishes. 6. Brush the rims of the dishes with some of the beaten egg, cover each pie with a pastry lid and trim off any excess. Press the pastry edges against the rim of the dish to seal and crimp the edges. With a sharp knife, make several slashes across the centre of the pastry, but do not pierce all the way through. Brush the pastry all over with beaten egg and sprinkle over the cumin seeds.

6. Place the dishes on baking trays and bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until puffed up and golden.

Frying ground spices for a minute or so helps to bring out the flavours.

am not a pub person, but when the Waggon and Horses public house, on Surbiton Hill Road, reinvented its restaurant, we decided to try it out. Now an Authentic Pub Thai Restaurant, it is opposite what was the Assembly Rooms which is currently part of Surbiton High School. Parking may be an issue, but there are bus stops very near by. There are three Dragon Pubs in all, with The King and Dragon, and The Norbiton being the other two. 00.341£

At the rear of the bar are the dining areas, and we were in the long room with a tented ceiling, and doors that in the summer open onto a garden area. Around the room are artifacts depicting the orient, images and statues of Buddha, pictures of oriental scenes and the walls are covered in a golden coloured textured paper. It gave an impression of quiet calm. The restaurant has an à la carte menu as well as a take away menu. But the house speciality is the Banqueting Menu. There are four to choose from, and if you go with a crowd, these would be ideal to share. Don’t worry if there are only two of you, each one is priced per person, with a minimum of two people. The prices start at £18.95 p.p. We opted for the Grand Palace Banquet at £29.95 each. Having given our order, we were supplied with some prawn crackers and chilli sauce, along with iced water, which was topped up several times. First up from the menu was the Dragon Platter, which consisted of a selection of the usual oriental starters, vegetable spring rolls, mine was a bit lacking in filling, but my husband Ken said his was quite full. On the platter also were Thai fish cakes with dipping sauce, sesame toasts, chicken satay and sauce along with sticky pork ribs. We both agreed that they were very tasty and a good appetiser for the meal ahead. Having said that, we then had the crispy aromatic duck with steamed pancakes, cucumber, spring onions and hoisin sauce. There was an ample supply of pancakes and it was so good, we finished them all. In hindsight perhaps we should have left room for what followed! We then had a delivery of no less than seven dishes to the table! Grilled marinated chicken breast on a bed of choi sum with a turmeric, ginger, coriander and coconut sauce. I do not like coriander, but the flavours were so subtle, I could not detect it. The chicken was succulent

16 16

and the sauce was certainly aromatic. Dish number 2 was Rendang Daging, a Malaysian style beef curry which was not as spicy as the Pad Ped Gaprow, or Stir fried Tiger prawns with green beans in a sauce consisting of red chillies, Thai sweet basil, garlic, peppers onions and oyster sauce, that had a kick which carried a 4 chilli warning! It was a good job we had ordered a bottle of the house white wine to accompany the meal. Next was the Crispy coated red snapper in an oyster and soy sauce. Snapper is not a fish we eat a lot in this country, but it was delicious and the coating was certainly crispy. And as if that was not enough, we also had dishes of stir fried vegetables, stir fried noodles as well as steamed rice. All the dishes came with a ‘chilli rating’ from one for mild, to five for ‘only the brave’. So you have been warned! Ken and I enjoyed the meal, though our eyes were obviously bigger than our stomachs, as we had to admit defeat as we were unable to eat it all. And we still had dessert to come. But the hostess kindly supplied us with take home boxes for the left -over food. Without rushing us, the dessert was Klouy Tod, or Banana Fritters in a coconut batter, drizzled in honey and served with a coconut ice cream. As delicious as that sounds, the actual food was even more so. Although I would have preferred the batter to be more crispy, the ice cream was absolutely divine!! The evening we were there, two weeks before Christmas, it did seem that the party season was beginning. There were several groups at the tables around the Christmas tree. No-one was rushed, but it looked a fairly busy night, so perhaps booking a table might be a good idea, especially if you are planning a celebration. As I said earlier, there is a take away menu available and it might be delivered to you by a Tuk Tuk. If you are looking for somewhere different to try locally, why not give the Waggon and Horses a call and have either a take away or go for a meal there. With a comprehensive menu, bar food and nightly events it might be a good choice. Would we go again? Probably, but will try to take some other people with us as well!!

ave you ever thought what it would be like not have a safe house and a comfy bed to go to when night-time comes? How would you keep warm? Where would you go, and what would you eat? On Friday 26 February 2016 you can experience how this feels when we invite you to sleep out at the Sleep Easy fundraising challenge which returns to the Memorial Gardens in Kingston and the Holy Trinity Church in Wimbledon. This will be the seventh year that YMCA London South West in partnership with the local churches invites people to ‘sleep rough so others don’t have to’. In 2016, we hope to have the biggest gathering of ‘rough sleepers’ in the history of the Sleep Easy event, with up to 250 people turning up to show they care for vulnerable people in their community. We are giving you the option to choose between taking part in the ‘classic’ Sleep Easy event or to go for a new and tougher ‘extreme’ version where you will really get to feel how challenging a night of sleeping rough can be… Also added, is a third option of ‘Sleep Easy sofa surf’ for the children, where you can take part by organising a sleep over in your own home or at a friend’s house. All three versions will start at 7pm and finish with breakfast at 6am the next morning. The entry fee is only £12 for Sleep Easy Classic (£6 for 12-17 year olds), and £17 for the Sleep Easy Extreme (over 17s only). Sleep Easy Sofa Surf is free. For this entry fee, participants in both the ‘classic’ and ‘extreme’ version get a Sleep Easy beanie hat, hot drinks, soup and breakfast. Last year, 160 people turned up to show they cared for vulnerable people in their community in Kingston and Wimbledon. One of them, Matthew Campbell (25), is a former resident at a YMCA hostel in south west London. Some years ago, he became homeless and had to sleep rough. He said: “When school ended I didn’t really know what to do. I kind of just drifted, and found myself without anywhere to go or anything to do. Becoming homeless was an eye opener, that’s when I realised I needed to get myself sorted out.” With the help of YMCA London South West, Matthew got himself back on track. He is now studying for a degree in Youth Work at university.

For over three years, Matthew has been housed through the YMCA LSW Young People’s Supported Lodgings Scheme which places young people aged 16-25 with a host family with a spare room to rent out. Matthew said: “The YMCA has helped me a great deal. It has given me the stability I need to complete my studies and has helped me progress in life. My host family is wonderful and has been very supportive.” By taking part in Sleep Easy 2016 and raising sponsorship money from friends, family and colleagues for your night ‘sleeping rough’, you will be supporting YMCA London South West’s work with young homeless people like Matthew. Also taking part in 2015, was Rosie Basnett Barker, Head of Year 8 at Southborough School in Surbiton, who was there with a group of students from the school. She said: “It’s a really great thing for them to do. Last year, I was the driving force but this year, it was actually the students who really wanted to take part. What’s brilliant is that the boys deliver the message back at the school, where they will talk to the other students about the reality about being homeless.” Sleep Easy is a great team building and social event, perfect for church groups, scouts and other community groups. Throughout the event, there will be a wide variety of activities taking place, including entertainment, games and a shelter building competition. Sarah Ward, Fundraising Officer at YMCA LSW, said: “Sleep Easy is a really enjoyable and challenging event, but also has a huge impact on people who are not as fortunate as those taking part.” Sleep Easy is a national YMCA fundraising initiative raising money to help change the lives of vulnerable homeless people across England. Since the event began in 2010, over £1million pounds have been raised by thousands of people who chose to sleep rough for one night. The money raised at the Kingston and Wimbledon events will go to the Merton Winter Night Shelter for homeless people and towards YMCA LSW’s work with homeless people in the boroughs of Merton and Kingston.

Watching wild birds in your garden is a real delight, and the fact that many of them also help to keep pests at bay for much of the year means that it makes sense to do everything you can to encourage them in. Gardens which are very regimented and sparse are much less likely to prove a haven for wild birds, but if you have a fair number of potential hiding places such as a few good sized shrubs or trees, then so much the better. Obviously trees which provide berries or other fruits are always going to be welcome and, although it means that the display of autumnal berries you looked forward to is slightly foreshortened, you can be sure that the birds eating them will have put them to good use! But what else can you do to encourage your feathered friends into the garden? There is no doubt about it that a source of water really is one of the best features you can have. There are many ornamental birdbaths available, or you can create something cheap

and just as effective using a shallow dish with sloping sides. The water should be no deeper than 2” (5 cm) if it is to be safely used by a wide range of birds, and if you do have a deeper container then you should fill the lower depths of it with good sized stones, so that the water is not too deep. Ideally the water should be changed every other day, but at this time of year when freezing temperatures prevail, it is essential to make sure that the water does not become frozen over for long periods of time. Don’t forget that other garden water features, including ponds with shallow sloping sides, are perfect for many birds to feed and bathe in. Providing birds with additional food materials is also well worthwhile, but do remember that you need to maintain a constant supply of food or else they may come to rely on something that is not there when they need it most. If you have a problem with squirrels, then feeding the birds can be a real nightmare – but on the whole, the heavily armoured looking

wire structures which rather resemble bird cages and hold a central cylinder of peanuts seem to work well. Admittedly these will set you back anything up to £40, but they do seem to do the job. If squirrels are not a problem, you can use many of the cheaper nut feeders with great success, but of course wherever you position the feeder you should ensure that it is well out of range of the local cat population. Site the feeder in an area where a cat cannot leap up at it, or where there are no other plants nearby from which it can make its ambush. Save household scraps for the birds too; there are lots of things they enjoy eating including apples which have lost their appeal to the household, cooked rice, cheese, old breakfast cereal, raisins and sultanas and, of course, bread. You can also buy fat balls which contain large quantities of mixed seeds, and these can be hung from trees or large shrubs where they will provide a fantastic meal for many birds and, provided you

Is your bathroom familyfriendly? Think layout, fittings, flooring, lighting and all-important storage space – and turn your bathroom into an appealing haven for both children and adults, says Katherine Sorrell.

THE SPACE The first question: is your room big enough? If it’s too small for comfort, but there’s a tiny, adjacent WC (common in period properties), consider knocking down the wall in between to combine them into one family-friendly room. Many older properties also have a lot of bedrooms compared to the number of bathrooms, and it may make sense to convert one of the bedrooms into a second bathroom – thus avoiding queues every morning. The least expensive way to overhaul a family bathroom is to

20 20 20

+ tnorF edisnI revoC kcaB

)daerps egap 2 ertneC(

sweiveR lairotidE

keep the fixtures and fittings in the same place: that way you’ll avoid the costs of altering pipe runs. On the other hand, if the layout just isn’t right – perhaps there’s only a bath and you want to create space to add a separate shower – you’ll have to bite the bullet and re-arrange the room. Measure up and draw a plan on graph paper, noting the position of doors and windows, any radiators that you’re going to keep, the soil pipe and any other permanent fixtures. Then decide what fittings you require: a bath, walk-in shower, WC, basin (or two – ideal for busy bathrooms), radiator and/or heated towel rail (make sure it’s big enough for LOTS of towels)… A specially designed showerbath, wider at one end and with a curved-glass screen, can be a great space-saver, and try to include as much storage as you can, so all those plastic toys can be popped away quickly when you need a calm, grown-up space. Vanity units can be built under basins, also concealing pipework, and WCs can be placed against false walls which contain both the cistern and some storage space; you can also use wall and floor cupboards, either custom-made or offthe-peg, plus well thought-out conventional storage ideas such as a hinged chest with a padded seat on top and all sorts of shelves, racks, boxes and baskets. Finally, draw all your fittings to the same scale as your floor plan, and cut them out. You

can move them around until you find the layout that works best, remembering to allow generous activity space for knees, elbows, drying and so on, around each fitting. FITTINGS In a bathroom that’s used regularly by all members of the family, young and old, flexibility is key. Opt for a timeless white suite with an easy-clean finish, plus neutral tiles, and you can add bold colours and fun patterns in the form of towels, mats, handles and hooks. Wallhung fittings are easier to clean around, as well as making the space seem bigger; for small children, a sturdy, portable step will help them reach the loo and basin. For safety around hot water, ensure your taps and shower have an anti-scald device and touch-safe surfaces, and set thermostatic mixers to low temperatures. FLOORING Bathroom floors must be non-slip and easy to clean; most importantly, however, they mustn’t mind getting wet. Carpet is a complete non-starter in a modern family bathroom, and solid wood is risky as it may shrink or warp. If you like the look of timber, however, you may be able to install marinegrade ply, engineered boards, laminate, bamboo or tropical hardwoods. Ceramic tiles are ideal, especially as they work brilliantly with underfloor heating (cosy toes!), while

Please mention the magazine when contacting Advertisers

alternatives include linoleum, which has a classic look and is made from environmentally friendly materials, rubber – available in an array of gorgeous colours – and the ever-popular and practical vinyl that can cope with anything kids can throw at it. Literally. LIGHTING Lighting really makes a difference to the mood of a bathroom and, if possible, it should be planned in the initial design stages. Include good general, overall lighting, perhaps in the form of inset ceiling spotlights or (less expensive) a ceiling-mounted track, plus some task lights, by the mirror, for shaving or applying make-up. Clever ideas include: storage units that incorporate lighting; fitting uplighters in flooring; an led colour-changing

lamp operated by remote control; adding a colourful light stream to your tap water and even illuminated tiles. You could even consider fitting low-level lighting that comes on automatically when someone enters the room – great for night-time toilet visits. Remember that when any light fitting is near water, it must be manufactured with suitable protection against splashing – designated by an IP coding of 4 and above.

It’s easy to get Valentine’s Day wrong: nothing says “I love you” less than uncomfortable pants in the wrong size, some wilting flowers or whatever chocolates were half price in Tesco. But if your soul mate is a gadget fan, it’s very easy to get Valentine’s Day right. One of the problems of buying presents for gadget fans is that they tend to have the big things already, so for example if they fancied an Apple Watch or a Samsung Galaxy S6 they’ve almost certainly bought it for themselves. But that’s an opportunity rather than a problem, because there are stacks of accessories and add-ons that can enhance what they’ve already got. Take the Apple Watch, for example. There’s a huge range of straps including tanned and coloured leather, metal and fun coloured silicone that can completely transform its looks. Apple’s own ones are fairly nice and predictably expensive, but you don’t need to pay quite so much: metal straps from the likes of Hoco (£48) and leather ones from Nomad (around £70) look and feel fantastic, and having multiple straps means the Watch fits with any outfit from ultra-casual to seriously formal. It’s a similar story with

22 22 22

smartphone and tablet cases, where there are some fantastic designs to choose from. A woven Ted Baker case for the iPad Mini is £35, while Pipetto. co.uk’s clever Origami cases are around £30. You’ll find all kinds of household names making phone and tablet cases including Radley, Michael Kors and Aspinal of London, with prices ranging from around £12.50 for a simple Radley iPhone case to £250 for an Aspinal iPad case. Accessories aren’t just about fashion. If your beloved has a smartphone, tablet or laptop they might appreciate some Bluetooth accessories, such as Bluetooth wireless headphones - around £50 for a set of Jabra Move headphones, rising to around £200 for high-end sets from Bose - or wireless speakers, which are great for streaming music from the likes of Spotify or Apple Music at home, in the garden or on the beach when Summer finally returns. We’re big fans of the Bose Soundlink Mini (£169), but you needn’t spend that much to get great sound: Sony’s SRSX2 is around £60, while JBL’s Flip 2 is about £50 and TDK’s tough Trek Flex is £55 - £69 depending on your choice of colours. If you’d rather give a more traditional gift, technology

can still help: the Lastminute. com, Laterooms.com, Expedia. co.uk, Kayak and SkyScanner apps can all help you find the perfect romantic getaway at the right price, while the 5pm and OpenTable apps make it easy to book a restaurant for a romantic night out - although if you’d rather impress by cooking something spectacular at home, celebrity chef apps from the likes of Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson can give you not just recipes but videos on how to prepare the perfect Valentine dinner. Tech can even help if you don’t currently have someone to share Valentine’s day with: online matchmaking services such as Match.com have smartphone and tablet apps to help you find Miss or Mr Right, while famous apps such as Tinder (for everyone) and Grindr (for gay or bisexual men) use location awareness to help you find potential partners near you. If that sounds a little bit scary, apps such as Hitch enable friends to play matchmaker, limiting the pool of potential suitors to people your friends already know.

My Dearly Beloved’s glance at the clock did not bode well. “Tom, isn’t it time you were in bed?”

home I have this huge island,”

“Tom, I thought you said…”

“I bet it’s not as big as Richard Branson’s.”

“What? Oh Evan? Yeah. He’s qualified now. He’s a Barista.”

“Can I finish my hot chocolate first please, Mother?”

“What’s that Tommy?”

“A barrister?

A kick to the shin from Sarah was my first warning of the day. Then it was time for lunch. Back in the Mondeo we headed into town as Kevin thankfully left his island paradise behind and moved neatly onto his next subject - Kevin Junior”

“Yeah, like I say, he’s taken his bar exam and now he’s a Barista.”

“Well Tom, it’s nearly ten. You have to be at the airport at five.” “Yes I know and then we’ve got to endure a whole week of it.” “A whole week of what?” “Your Kevin’s boasting.” In 1991, Sarah’s spotty brother emigrated to Canada, where he grew up, married and made his fortune. Standing bleary-eyed in the airport multi-storey, I’d only just heaved Kevin’s matching luggage into the boot when it started. “Hey Tommy, are you still driving this old heap? I change my auto every two years, on the advice of my tax planner.” “Really Kevin? How fascinating!” The drive home (apart from some quite severe boasting about his trip to Dubai) was fairly uneventful. Sarah greeted her brother warmly and once safely ensconced in the kitchen he finally - to everyone’s relief - stopped boasting about Dubai but started boasting about his house. “I see you’ve upgraded your kitchen, Sis.” “Yes, we changed it last year, didn’t we Tom?” I opened my trap to have a mini boast all of my own, but was too slow out of the boasting blocks. “It’s a pity this place isn’t big enough for an island. You see back

“Now that my boy is at Yale doing law, we have so many adjustments to make. OK $40,000 a year isn’t cheap, but when you have a gifted child, what can you do? How’s your Evan doing, Tommy?” This was my cue for some desperate parental Top Trumping. “Well funnily enough, he’s just taken his bar exams.” Another kick from Sarah. “Well what do you know? Maybe one day they’ll lock horns in front of a judge?” “You never know Kevin, they just might.” Then Kevin spotted a generic taxdodging coffee emporium. “Hey, let’s jump in here and grab a skinny latte. A taste from home!” We had only just taken our seats when we were greeted by Evan, wearing a company polo shirt and a wide smile. “Hi Uncle Kev! We’ve all missed you! Hi Dad, I forgot to mention - I moved branches last week!” Evan disappeared then returned with our order as I waited for the inquisition.

“A…barrister?” “Yeah, I just told you (now mumbling into my creamy hot chocolate) a…brrstrr.” We sipped in silence. I waited for a kick from Sarah. But none came. The week slipped by until it was time to say goodbye to Kevin. Back in the airport car park I heaved his matching luggage out of the boot. Through the grey drizzle we both looked out across at the retail park in the distance. “You see, in Canada, we have none of this constant awful weather - the summers are hot and the winters are snowy and cold, they’re perfect, I…” His voice trailed off. Wondering what was the matter, I caught his eye and blow me if the old chap wasn’t blubbering! “Kev, are you ok?” “I miss England Tommy, and I miss my boy. You know something Tom, you’re a lucky guy.” Driving back through the roadworks and the pouring rain I pulled onto the drive to see Sarah arguing with the man from the water board who was about to start digging up the pavement. Well, I thought to myself, Kevin could keep his island and his money; after all, there’s no place like home…

So many sofas, so little use

or many, the January sales mean new sofas and soft furnishings at bargain prices. No one’s denying that’s great, but why is it that every year thousands of tonnes of perfectly good sofas are thrown away and can't be given to families who want them?

Apart from being wasteful, not being able to re-use the sofas means extra taxes to pay for disposal, and it costs the environment too. When the team at KCF can’t reuse a sofa, they strip the wood and metal for recycling, and the cushions have to go to landfill. If time is short, sometimes the whole sofa will have to go to landfill and that’s all at great cost to the environment. It is estimated that re-using a tonne of sofas would save 1.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions, according to the anti-waste task force Wrap UK. Format & Design

Sitting in the warehouse of local charity, Kingston Community Furniture (KCF), which offers cheap household goods to people on low incomes, sits a chocolate brown sofa barely a couple of years old. Having been replaced by this year’s model and colour, its previous owner sent it for disposal. ‘It's in absolutely perfect condition," says a hopeful Toby Bintcliffe, from KCF, as he lifts the cushions and rummages about in the lining. "But the big question is - does it have a fire safety label?’ Fire safety labels are the bane of his life. Ever since 1988, and the introduction of the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations, all sofas sold in the UK must be treated with fireretardant chemicals and display a label to prove it. No label means no good. KCF calculates that more than 50% of the sofas they could send to new homes have to be scrapped because they don’t have the correct labels. ‘Obviously it’s important for furniture to pass the fire and safety regulations, but the way the labels are attached seems a bit of an after-thought. They frequently dangle beneath cushions and get in the way, so you can understand why people might cut them off. If they were sewn onto the sofa base on all four sides of the label, no one would even consider cutting them off. This one small step could make all the difference to the percentage

‘Many people don’t necessarily know the importance of keeping the fire safety label on their sofa, and perhaps retailers could improve their customer care by informing people when they buy a new sofa,’ continues Toby. It may take some campaigning and time for manufacturers to change the way they fix their fire safety labels. In meantime, we as consumers, can be mindful of the importance of these labels, and if we find they are flapping about and annoying us, just tuck them back in and think of the families you may be helping in the future and the CO2 gases you are saving. The potential impact of this simple gesture is immense.

How to Look after Your Dog’s Paws When caring for your dog, it’s easy to overlook their paws unless they are limping, but it’s important to make sure that nothing gets lodged in their pads or stuck in the ‘web’ between their toes. It’s an easy routine though, and consists of just three steps: • Checking regularly for signs of damage or soreness Although puncture wounds may not be immediately visible because of the dark colour of your

dog’s pads, if anything has caused damage the dog will pull away or show signs of discomfort when you touch their feet. Regular checks after each outing will help to prevent infection building up in broken skin, and identify damaged or split claws. • Bathing To flush out any sand or small objects, dip each paw into a shallow container of water and pat dry. Sand in particular causes discomfort if not removed after a walk on the beach, and sharp shells can easily cut the paws. • Keep fur trimmed This is especially important for long-haired breeds with lots of fur between their

pads. Keeping it short allows you to see any damage to the paw, and makes the dog more comfortable when walking. You can buy special creams and waxes to protect your dog’s paws from harsh winter weather, and also from becoming blistered in the summer heat. A damaged paw will put a halt to their activities and can mean an expensive visit to the vet, so prevention is certainly cheaper than cure. http://uk.pedigree.com/health-andtraining/caring-for-your-dog/lookingafter-your-puppys-paws http://theilovedogssite.com/5-must-knowtips-for-taking-care-of-your-dogs-paws/ By Ann Haldon

Raynaud’s Phenomenon (Raynaud’s Disease or often just ‘Raynaud’s’) isn’t well-known, yet it affects around 20% of adults worldwide, and shouldn’t be ignored. That’s why February is Raynaud’s Awareness Month. What Is Raynaud’s Phenomenon? Raynaud’s is a condition in which blood supply to extremities is interrupted. Attacks are caused by oversensitivity of small blood vessels, and while fingers and toes are most commonly affected, it also affects the ears, nose, lips and nipples. tRIggeRs and Causes Primary Raynaud’s The causes of Primary Raynaud’s are unclear, although the NHS estimates that 1 in 10 sufferers go on to develop a condition associated with Secondary Raynaud’s. Attacks are usually triggered by cold temperatures, but anxiety, stress, hormones or smoking can also cause blood vessels to spasm and restrict blood flow to your extremities. secondary Raynaud’s Secondary Raynaud’s is often connected with autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, but also results from other medical conditions (including Hepatitis), illegal drug use, some medicines (including

28 28

the contraceptive pill and beta-blockers), an injury, or use of a vibrating tool (‘vibration white finger’). symPtoms Symptoms of Raynaud’s can last a few minutes or a few hours, and may be regular or occasional. Sometimes the condition goes away by itself. • The restriction of blood to extremities can cause them to turn white, then blue, and finally red as blood flow returns to them. • Sometimes there may be pins and needles, numbness, swelling, pain or stiffness. If you have Raynaud’s symptoms, visit your doctor, who can diagnose Raynaud’s and request blood tests to determine the type. It’s important to get Secondary Raynaud’s Phenomenon correctly diagnosed, as in rare cases complications such as gangrene or ulcers arise. Who gets Raynaud’s? secondary Raynaud’s can occur in anyone, as it’s associated with other conditions and factors. Primary Raynaud’s is usually mild, can occur at any age and may be hereditary. It is: • More common in females than males • Rare in young children • Common in teenagers (although sometimes disappears in their twenties) • More common in smokers (because smoking damages blood vessels and affects smooth muscle). tReatment and PReventIon To prevent Raynaud’s attacks, you can: • stay warm – outdoors,

use scarves, gloves, hats, earmuffs, heated hand warmers and pre-warmed clothes and shoes (use a hair dryer, electric blanket or the airing cupboard). Several thin layers are warmer than one thick one. Wear thin socks and gloves under thicker ones and use hand driers to warm your hands. Indoors, try hot water bottles, microwaveable heat packs, hot baths before bed and an electric blanket. • stop smoking – smoking affects your blood supply and can reduce your temperature. • eat for warmth – hot drinks and small regular meals, preferably hot, will keep you energetic and warm. Use oven gloves to remove things from the fridge. • avoid heavy carrier bags – they restrict blood flow to fingers. • take regular exercise – providing it doesn’t make symptoms worse. • Find ways to relax. Sometimes medication is required if you experience ulcers, intense pain or impaired finger function. In severe cases, sympathectomy procedures using surgery, laser or injection to sever the nerves that cause the blood vessels to spasm may be used, but these vary in permanency and efficacy. Remember: don’t ignore Raynaud’s symptoms. They could indicate an underlying condition that needs treatment. support and information: The Raynaud’s and Scleroderma Association http://www.raynauds.org.uk/ Email: info@raynauds.org.uk Telephone: 01270 872776 or 0800 9172494

“Knock, knock! Saw you weren’t in your cubicle earlier.” Amanda’s unwelcome head appeared above the partition between hers and Kay’s desks. “Has someone been out for a sneaky Valentine’s lunch with ‘Mister You Know Who’?” Having an imaginary boyfriend was fraught with complications, but it was better than the alternative. Ever since Amanda had married the marvellous Bertie, she had transformed into the type of person who cannot rest until everyone is happily married off. Kay had been bullied into a succession of blind dates with Bertie’s socially awkward friends from the Extreme Ironing Club. There are only so many prawn cocktails anyone can eat while hearing about the thrills of the great outdoors coupled with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt. Kay had not been for a romantic lunch. She’d been at the parcel office collecting a package. She decided to lie anyway. “He’s working in Brussels again,” she said breezily. It was a useful lie, but one she knew she shouldn’t rely on. There was a danger that the slightest suggestion her imaginary beau wasn’t fully committed would have Amanda arranging prawn cocktails with the ironing bores again. “So has the lovely Bertie been showering you with gifts?” Kay asked, in a hurry to change the subject. noitubirtsiD

“Bertie loves to spoil me,” Amanda blushed. “How about

your mystery man? He must have sent you something to mark the occasion?” “Of course.” Kay gave herself a mental pat on the back for having planned ahead, and reached into her pocket to retrieve a gold plated charm bracelet. She’d bought it yesterday from a swarthy looking man on the market. As it only cost five pounds she suspected it would turn her wrist green, but it was flashy enough from a distance to impress Amanda, who loved anything that sparkled. “Darling Bertie gave me this. He really shouldn’t have, it must have cost the earth.” Amanda held out her arm. “He had it custom made in the jewellery quarter.” Kay dropped the bracelet quickly back into her pocket, and leaned forward in order to better admire an identical charm bracelet around Amanda’s wrist. “Do you think I should get it valued for insurance purposes?” Amanda asked. “Surely it’s the thought that counts?” Kay suggested kindly. For once she felt sorry for Amanda. It seemed she was not the only one who felt under pressure to embellish the truth. “I suppose you’re right.” Amanda admired her awful bracelet, and then noticed the large package beneath Kay’s desk. “Is that it?” “Oh, this?” Kay panicked, realising she needed to produce an alternative Valentine’s gift. “Yes, it’s from

him. I’ve just collected it.” “Aren’t you going to open it?” “Not now.” Kay’s mouth went dry. She’d made a tactical mistake. “I’m supposed to be working.” “You must!” Amanda insisted, wrenching the parcel from Kay’s grip. “He could phone any moment to see if you liked it.” Kay knew exactly what the parcel contained, having ordered it three days ago online. Powerless to intervene, she watched Amanda slicing through the packaging tape with her razor sharp nails. The item, wrapped in plastic, was pulled from the box. “What is that exactly?” Amanda said, holding it up. “It’s an anti-bacterial soft close toilet seat,” Kay said. Amanda looked at her suspiciously. “Just what I’ve always wanted,” she added hopefully. “I’ve just realised something about you Kay,” Amanda said, as though seeing her colleague properly for the first time. Kay braced herself for Amanda’s dreaded epiphany. “Bertie’s pals from the Extreme Ironing Club were all far too normal for you weren’t they?”

Calling Me – Louise Bay If you’re looking for a good old fashioned romance, with just a hint of erotica, then you need to add this trilogy to your wish list. It’s an age-old friends to lovers story, but with plenty of twists and steamy scenes to keep you reading. Ashleigh and Luke have been friends since childhood, but when Ashleigh’s unrequited love is finally reciprocated, will she be brave enough to risk everything? Can this new relationship survive, or is Luke just on the rebound? A good fun, easy read in the style of Fifty Shades of Grey. This Raging Light – Estelle Laure Ah, first love – that raw, all consuming fire that is impossible to ignore. 17 year old Lucille’s mum has walked out, leaving Lucille to bring up her little sister and pay the bills. As if that wasn’t enough to cope with, she’s falling for her best friend’s brother, who is already very much taken. Beautifully written, almost poetic at times, This Raging Light follows Lucille as she stumbles into adulthood. While it’s aimed at the young adult market, don’t let that put you off; you don’t have to be a teenager to immerse yourself in Lucille’s story.

Just Another Way To Say ‘I Love You’ Get ready to download a Barry White compilation. Whether it’s the rush of first love, a slow-burning romance, or the everlasting bond between friends, love is definitely in the air. Dear Cathy ... Love, Mary – Catherine Conlon and Mary Phelan It’s 1983 and best friends Cathy and Mary are just starting their adult lives. When one leaves Ireland to work as an au pair in France, the letters start flying back and forth. The vibrancy and hope of youth shines through the pages. At times poignant, but mainly rather funny, Dear Cathy ... Love, Mary is as much a celebration of friendship as it is a coming of age story.

The Life and Loves of Lena Gaunt – Tracy Farr Octogenarian Lena Gaunt reflects on her life as an experimental musician, wild child and lover. Her first love was the cello, but then came the theremin – an electronic instrument that would see her rise to almost celebrity status. And then came Beatrix… As Lena starts to recount her life for a documentary, she finds her memories resurfacing and the walls she’s built up around her starting to crumble away.

Carrying Albert Home – Homer Hickman Elsie leaves her childhood sweetheart and West Virginian home town in the 1930s, for a life of adventure in Orlando. A whirlwind romance and painful breakup later, and she returns home to marry Homer (the author’s father). The Albert of the title is Elsie’s pet alligator, who lives in their bath, and serves as a daily reminder of the life she could have been living in Florida. When Homer and Elsie decide to take Albert back to Florida, their trip certainly provides the adventure that Elsie craves, but will it bring her and Homer together, or pull them even further apart?

Fifty-Two Ways to Love Your Body – Kimber Simpkins In a culture where ‘You’ve lost weight’ is the ultimate compliment and magazines tear celebrities apart for gaining a few pounds or wrinkles, it’s no surprise that women often struggle to love and appreciate the body they have. If you’re fed up of avoiding mirrors and jumping on every dieting bandwagon going, you need this book. Follow one chapter each week, dip in and out as you need, or read it cover to cover - it’s really up to you. There are no lectures, no criticisms, just simple steps to help you regain an appreciation for your body.

Is Buy-to-Let Still a Good Investment? By Ann Haldon

With no sign of improved interest rates for savers, and pension changes that offer more freedom, is buy-to-let still a good option for those wanting to invest? At first glance, the increase in stamp duty and reduction in some tax reliefs for landlords may cast doubt on whether investing in bricksand-mortar is a good idea, but success depends on many factors, not least of which is your commitment to maximising returns. We take a look at what you need to consider when thinking about property investment. One of the first items on the list should be to clarify your motivation for this type of investment, as it will directly impact on the areas and type of property that you choose. Do you want rental yield or long-term capital growth? Are you considering a long-term investment to take advantage of capital growth, or focusing on the potential rental yield of a property? Between 15 and 20 years is a common timescale for property ownership with capital growth in mind, which might fit in nicely with your plans for retirement. On the other hand, investing in a multiple-occupancy student let, for example, could bring in much-needed monthly income. You may be able to make a

36 36

rental yield of between 5% and 10% if you find a suitable property in a good location, and buy it for the right price. Focusing on the figures Buy-to-let can still be a good investment if you’re prepared to put in the time and effort to make it work. This begins with meticulous research to make sure you get the best mortgage deal, find suitable locations and the right style of property for your target market. In other words, you need to make sure as far as possible that the numbers add up. Lending restrictions have made it difficult to find a good mortgage deal in recent years, when compared with the precredit crunch era, but even when you’ve got a mortgage offer that you’re happy with, you should be constantly looking for ways to improve returns by switching suppliers and cutting costs. Will you manage the property yourself? Many professional landlords concentrate purely on managing their business. They don’t get involved in the monthto-month management of the property, or dealing with tenant issues – in fact, many landlords never even meet their tenants. It’s purely a numbers game, and taking this approach means

abandoning any personal preferences with regard to choosing your property. If you decide to hire a letting agent, they will take a percentage of the rent by way of payment. This may seem like a needless expense when you’re willing to do the work yourself, but when you consider how much time and energy is saved in not having to deal with tenant issues it may be money well spent, particularly if you have more than one property. Financial benefits of buy-tolet The beneficial tax reliefs enjoyed on buy-to-let mortgage interest payments are now being limited to the basic rate of income tax. This was previously an attractive part of buy-to-let investing, but they can still be enjoyed if you form a limited company for your property investments. As rates of corporation tax are being reduced to 18% by 2020, for owners of multiple properties at least, this could help to reduce costs. But as always, you need to seek the advice of a professional advisor to maximise the investment returns and minimise your tax bill. http://moneyfacts.co.uk/ guides/buy-to-let/btl-have-youconsidered-the-investment-risks/

There is a subtle but definite shift going on in the way people use and drive their cars. Aids such as lane departure warning, self parking, adaptive cruise control and emergency stop systems are there to make the journey safer. But you’ll also see options in the brochures under the pseudonym of “comfort” or “leisure packs”; Bluetooth phone connectivity, in-car wi-fi and internet radio. On average it takes five years for a model to go from drawing board to front drive, so by 2020 expect the family hatchback to be not simply a means of transportation but a place of relaxation too. It’s recognised that we are spending longer in our cars, so the makers are moving towards the car being as much a living as a driving space. stamroF elbatpeccA

Driverless technology is here already, albeit just past the embryonic stage. Soon we will see accident prevention systems as standard including innovative methods to control the car (steering wheels will seem very last year). Also we are likely to find the car thinking for itself, making route choices and driving decisions for you based upon external data, not just from the internet but in the immediate space that surrounds it. All sounds a bit “Joe 90”? After all, didn’t those sci-fi comics of the 1960’s have us all driving auto hover-cars, dressed in two-piece, one-colour leisure suits by now? Well, the 2015 Tokyo motor show saw concept cars with these features from Nissan and Mercedes, the latter being vigorous innovators in the motoring world. Mercedes were first to bring you such things as brakes on all 4 wheels (yes really!), fuel injection, traction control and airbags. Still, they have yet to introduce a range of one-colour two-piece leisure suits. By Iain Betson

The Royal School of Needlework (RSN) celebrates the beautifully intricate art of hand embroidery, and will go to Chester Cathedral for the first time, to stage an exhibition called ‘For Worship & Glory’. 61

This extraordinary exhibition will open on Wednesday 3 February until Sunday 28 February 2016 and will take place in the Chapter House. It will feature more than 50 pieces of hand embroidery work, many created as acts of devotion and worship for churches from the 18th - 20th centuries.

The RSN is the international centre of excellence for the art of hand embroidery and is based at Hampton Court Palace, Surrey, and their Patron is Her Majesty The Queen. For those wishing to learn more about this exquisite and historic art, bespoke one day and three day courses for all stitch abilities given by expert RSN

42 42

tutors, can be booked through Chester Cathedral. Beginners and enthusiasts can also attend two lectures by the RSN Chief Executive Dr Susan Kay-Williams. Dr Susan Kay-Williams says, “The Royal School of Needlework is delighted to be able to bring its celebrated exhibition of ecclesiastical embroidery to Chester Cathedral. We hope that it will give people from all over the region the opportunity to appreciate, in detail, these wonderful pieces, many by unknown stitchers, all demonstrating high quality workmanship.” Embroidery has been used as part of worship for centuries on vestments, altar cloths, banners and other church furnishings. The centrepiece of this exhibition will be six of the famous Litany of Loreto pieces. Donated to the RSN by nuns of the Convent of the Holy Child in Mayfield East Sussex (now closed), they are exceptionally fine and worth close inspection. There are chasubles from the 18th century; an antependium designed by Matthew Webb, who was a pupil of renowned artist Edward Burne-Jones, and a number of pieces made at the RSN including a beautifully worked rendition of The Good Shepherd given back to the School in 2011. There will also be a number of RSN students’ final pieces from over 50 years ago, which include a range of Christian motifs and symbols.

Now the good news: Your publisher wants see your book’s success almost as much as you do. That’s why they’re investing their time and money in it. I have been asked to change character names, clarify a book’s ending, and lop 30,000 words from the final manuscript (fortunately, this was early in the writing process). The name stayed but, once I’d understood the publisher’s reasoning, I was happy to make the other changes.

Birth Pains

The transformation from writer to author can be likened to that of a caterpillar into a butterfly, but with two quotes taped on the inside of your chrysalis and the outside of your fridge: ‘No pain, no gain.’ - Benjamin Franklin. ‘Kill your darlings.’ - William Faulkner. First, the bad news: It’s time to let go of the motion that it’s your book. While that was true for every draft up until you signed the contract, it’s now a collaborative project with the end goal of producing a commercially viable product. That’s right: product.

Every book has to conform to its publisher’s house style - the font, preferred word count, how they show dialogue (one inverted comma or two, vicar?), how they show numbers, and also the general cover design. You can save yourself a lot of unnecessary heartache by accepting there will be deviations from your vision of the book and that publishers usually know their business better than you do. However, if all that sounds too traumatic, you might be better off opting for self-publishing. By Derek Thompson www.alongthewritelines.blogspot.co.uk

Beer of the Month

February, of course, is St Valentine’s Day, book-ended by a couple of fortnights in which nothing much happens except that it rains a lot and once every four years an utterly superfluous day appears which nobody wants as their birthday. But if you’re young and in love, the deep mysterious thrill that comes with opening that anonymous card more than makes up for the rest of the month’s dreariness. So here’s a beer for St Valentine’s Day that’s doubly full of love. Lovestruck – yes, it’s the name that makes it a beer for Valentine’s – is a 4.4% alcohol pale ale from the Madness Brewing Company. Its nose is very fresh, with that classic new-mown hay aroma that properly belongs to a good pale ale and an overtone of summer fruits. The mouth feel and flavour are almost as light and spritzy as a prosecco – so right for St Valentine’s! – while the finish has the merest hint of hoppy bitterness. But there’s more to love in Lovestruck than just the label. It’s one of a trio of beers made by West London’s recently-established Portobello Brewery for the nutty boys themselves – and who, even after all these years, doesn’t love Madness? Infra Red from another newly-founded craft brewer, Hardknott of Millom, Cumbria, is a different prospect altogether. At 6.2% alcohol it has a chill-banishing warmth to it, along with a mixed bundle or aromas and flavours of almost baffling complexity. The brewery says it takes its inspiration from America and Belgium - but this, being an authentically hoppy, strong India Pale Ale but with a few buckets of crystal malt shovelled into for luck, is a one-off. The appearance is a deep ruby with an oddly straw-coloured foam. The nose is floral but in an old-lady way – parma violets, lavender, garden-centre soap. Then the flavour is intensely, shockingly hoppy but with a hint of fennel/liquorice sweetness, while the finish is very, very long and very, very bitter and carries an intriguing note of... parsnips?! You’ll like this. Not at once, maybe, but you’ll like it. By Ted Bruning
