Have you made any New Year Resolutions? Are you still keeping them? I’ve given up making them, as I seem to be so fickle! I do wish that new businesses would see advertising in A Berrylands Companion as a positive action, both for them and for prospective clients, the readers. It is as easy as A B C... A) contact me to discuss your requirements, B) decide on your advertising package, C) submit your artwork. How easy is that? I can even arrange help with the artwork. Perhaps this year we can even dare to think about having a holiday. Remember those? A staycation may be the answer for now, until we are all clear about entry and exit from various destinations and the requirements for testing.

Green One Pound Meals – Miguel Barclay Cooking on a budget really isn’t easy, but Miguel Barclay’s One Pound Meals series takes some of the headache out of meal preparation. The latest in the series focuses on planet-friendly dishes. As you’d expect, there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan meals, from cauliflower cups to courgette kofte, but there are also lots of dishes to tempt staunch meat eaters too. Plus, you’ll get tips on eco-conscious shopping and minimising food waste.

Under the Olive Tree – Irini Tzortzoglou In the depths of winter, Irini’s recipes will transport you to sun-filled summer holidays. The first half of the book is dedicated to simpler midweek Greek meals. The second half is full of showstoppers to wow friends and family. Expect everything from moussaka, braised octopus, and baklava to chickpea fritters. You’ll also read about Irini’s family and where her love for good, honest ingredients and home cooking comes from. Love to Cook – Mary Berry Lost your love for cooking? This TV series tie-in might help to bring it back. It features 120 recipes from one of the UK’s favourite cooks. The focus is on no-fuss recipes to ‘bring happiness into your kitchen’. You’ll find simple stir fries, easy curries, warming casseroles and plenty of mouth-watering puddings. Many of the dishes can be prepared the day before or frozen. Pinch of Nom Comfort Food – Kay Featherstone and Kate Allinson ‘Comforting’ and ‘diet’ are two words that don’t usually go together. The Pinch of Nom team is trying to prove that you can enjoy flavoursome, satisfying meals even when you’re aiming to lose weight. Recipes include cheesy aubergine bake, slow-cooker stroganoff, and halloumi couscous burgers, along with plenty of indulgent desserts. There are 100 recipes altogether. More than 40 are vegetarian and 47 are gluten-free. Nadiya’s Fast Flavours – Nadiya Hussain Don’t be deceived by the name – most of these recipes aren’t exactly speedy. However, most require under 30 minutes of hands-on time and a fair few can be whipped up for a quick midweek meal. There are twists on classics such as macaroni cheese, along with unique flavour combinations that are sure to please if you’re bored to tears with everyday meals. Think honey-baked sriracha drumsticks, coffee-glazed focaccia, and banana-skin bagels. Family Comforts – Rebecca Wilson Fed up of cooking two different meals most nights? Not only are all these recipes child- and adult-friendly, each one can be adapted for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets. You’ll find plenty of easy midweek meals, along with hands-off slow-cooker dishes, weekend meals and puddings. While they’re designed to appeal to kids, there are also big flavours to keep the grownups happy. Think mild curries, lemon and garlic chicken, and loaded Mexican sweet potatoes. Each recipe is nutritionist approved and there are extra tips on weaning, batch cooking and food preparation. By Kate Duggan

Wondering why people pay to send their child to an independent school? There are more advantages to a private education than you might think… 61

Size Class sizes tend to be considerably smaller in private schools. An average state-funded primary school now has 26.6 pupils per class, but many classes have more than 30 children and not all classes have a full-time teaching assistant. According to the Independent Schools Council, which represents 80% of independent schools in the UK, the average pupil-to-teacher ratio in private schools is just 8.9. Fewer pupils per teacher means more individual attention. Plus, independent schools tend to be smaller than state schools. This means they can often build a close-knit school community, where pupils know more of their peers. Culture Many independent schools (particularly those that offer boarding facilities) attract children from overseas, giving children a greater opportunity to socialise and learn from other cultures. Facilities Independent schools often offer better facilities than state-funded ones and more opportunities for trying different types of sport. This may be one of the reasons that more than 40% of the UK’s medal-winning athletes at the London 2012 Olympics were privately educated, even though only 7% of the UK population have attended independent schools. Art and music Budget cuts have led to state schools needing to make difficult choices. Art, drama and music have been some of the main casualties. Research carried out before the pandemic showed a 47% decrease in theatre and drama opportunities and a 36% decrease in music activities.

Grades Children at independent schools typically achieve higher grades than their state-educated peers. This year, 61% of GCSEs gained by privately educated children were grade 7 or above, compared to 26% of those gained by state-educated children. University choice State-educated pupils are often at a disadvantage when it comes to getting places at top universities. Not only are young people who have studied at a grammar or private school more likely to get the grades they need for Cambridge and similar settings, they’re also more likely to be accepted than their stateschool peers. Earning potential Privately educated people typically earn more than their state-educated peers. In fact, by the time they’re 42, people who have been privately educated are likely to have earned around £200,000 extra. There are many reasons for this; for example, privately educated people are more likely to be able to afford to take unpaid internships to kick-start their careers. However, higher grades, better universities and more connections are likely to play a pretty big role in helping people to climb the ladder. Next steps… If you’ve read this article and thought, “Well, that’s all very well, but I can’t afford the fees,” you’re certainly not alone. Independent schools now cost, on average, more than £15,000 a year. However, many do offer means-tested bursaries and scholarships, so it’s certainly worth doing some initial research before you discount them.

According to a growing number of experts, sitting is the latest health hazard to look out for. But why is a sedentary lifestyle so bad for us, and what can we do about it? Working from home, online shopping and periods of self-isolation: since the first lockdown struck, many of us will have noticed that we’re sitting down more than ever before. Unfortunately, this change of lifestyle comes at a cost. Evidence suggests that excessive sitting can expose us to a range of health issues, from backache and varicose veins to diabetes. The reason? Humans were built to stand, with the heart, cardiovascular system and bowel functioning far more efficiently when we’re upright. Now, this isn’t great news for the thousands of us that have desk-based jobs – but don’t lose hope just yet. There are lots of things you can do to help: Invest in a standing desk If you work in an office or from home, one of the easiest ways to reduce your sitting time is to invest in a standing desk. Standing is certainly better for us than sitting. However, there is evidence to suggest that standing still for long periods of time isn’t hugely beneficial to our bodies either. Balance is key; start by standing for 30 to 60 minutes a day and gradually increase until you’re alternating between standing and sitting every hour. Take regular breaks It can be hard to motivate yourself to leave your desk during the working day. However, taking regular breaks – even if it’s just to grab a cuppa – can make a world of difference.

In the office and need to send an email? Get away from your desk and relay the message in person. Working from home and fancy a coffee? Treat yourself by taking a walk to your local cafe. And on days when you’re too busy to take a lunch break, set a timer to remind you to stretch or have a little walk around. Sit the right way If you’re spending much of your working life at a desk, it’s important to invest in an office chair that will help you perfect your posture. Choose a chair with lumbar support to ensure your lower back curves to the shape of the chair, and make sure it’s adjusted so your feet are resting on the floor. You should also avoid crossing your legs and try to keep your back straight as much as you can. Doing so will make the hours you do spend sitting as comfortable as possible. Get some exercise Evidence suggests that we need between 60-75 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per day to combat the dangers of excessive sitting – but the more frequent the better. You’ll be glad to hear that this doesn’t mean you have to hit the gym every day. Moderate exercise could be a brisk walk on your lunch break, a light bike ride or even those slightly more exerting cleaning duties, such as vacuuming, window cleaning or mopping the floor.

Tablets are among our very favourite devices. They’re fantastic all-rounders, capable of turning into glossy magazines or movie screens, children’s games or serious workhorses. And there’s never been a better time to buy one, whether you want a budget bargain or a high-end tablet for work.

Amazon Fire HD 8 An ideal simple tablet for surfing on the sofa, its’s easy to use, has a good selection of apps including the big names, and doesn’t cost much. £89, Amazon.co.uk

Amazon’s Fire HD range offers exceptional value for money, with models starting at just £49 for the Fire 7 to £149 for the Fire HD 10. That’s less than half the price of Apple’s iPad, and Amazon offers big discounts on Fire tablets every time it has a big sales event. You can’t access the Apple or Google app stores but Amazon’s own App Store is very good, and there are models specifically for children, with features including tough protective cases and excellent parental controls, as well as a year’s free subscription to Amazon Kids books, games and TV shows. The 500lb gorilla of the tablet world is Apple, whose iPads are arguably the best tablets around. The pick of the range for most people is the standard iPad at £319, but if you need more power the iPad Air (£579) and its smaller sibling the iPad mini (£479) are better still. And if you need the ultimate iPad, the iPad Pro starts at £749 for the 11-inch and £999 for the 12.9-inch. If you’d rather have a Windows tablet, Microsoft’s Surface Pro (£995) is a real rival to the iPad Pro, while the more affordable Surface Go (£369) is an excellent alternative to the iPad and iPad Air. There are also lots of nice tablets and 2-in-1 laptop/tablet hybrids from the usual PC names. Android tablets don’t have a great reputation – the cheap ones are usually awful – but Samsung’s tablets are up there with Apple in terms of quality. Our pick is the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite (£298), which is the best value Android tablet if you want to run apps from the Google Play store.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Like the normal Fire HD, don’t pay full price for this kids’ tablet: Amazon discounts them when it has sales. The Kids edition includes a year’s free subscription to apps, e-books and TV shows. £139, Amazon.co.uk

Apple iPad Apple’s control of the hardware and software delivers an unparalleled user experience, making them the best tablets made right now. The basic iPad is fine for most. £319, Apple.com

Microsoft Surface Go 3 Prefer Windows to iPadOS? Microsoft’s excellent tablet running Windows 10/Windows 11 is fast, good-looking and very flexible. £369, microsoft.com

Galaxy Tab S6 Lite It’s not quite up to Apple standards in terms of software, but the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite is a good option if you’ve already invested in Android apps or just prefer Google’s way of doing things. £298, Samsung.com

Why is it increasing? The Bank of England has forecast inflation could regularly hit 4% or higher in 2022. That’s partly because some of the suspected causes of recent price rises may be here for some time. This includes: higher oil and gas prices (driven by worldwide demand) that affect manufacturing; a shortage of staff in lorry driving and hospitality pushing up wages; and supply-chain problems such as global shipping slowdowns and silicon chip shortages. ngiseD & tamroF

The fact that it’s manufacturing costs rather than consumer demand for specific products may affect the way shoppers experience this inflation. It’s likely they’ll find everything seems a little pricier, rather than particular items suddenly feeling shockingly expensive. That could mean the squeeze of incomes – especially with National Insurance rising in April - is a little tighter.

Not just spenders Savers and investors may also notice the difference. A 4% inflation rate exceeds all but the most attractive savings rates on offer, meaning savers lose buying power over time. (Though savers are still better off than those not making any interest.) That could incentivise some people with spare cash to move to riskier investments in the hope of a better return. Effect on pensions Rising inflation has consequences for pensioners, beyond increasing prices. The ‘triple lock’ means the state pension rises each year by whichever is higher: rises in average earnings, inflation from the Consumer Price Index, or 2.5 percent. A prolonged spell of inflation above 2.5 percent could mean bigger pension rises. Effect on mortgages Perhaps the biggest concern for many consumers is how inflation could affect their mortgages. Until the financial crisis of 2008, central banks and governments traditionally used higher interest rates as a way to bring down excessive inflation. The theory was simple: higher interest payments meant homeowners had less money to spend in the shops, meaning retailers couldn’t get away with too many price rises. Since 2008, however, central banks have tended to concentrate on keeping rates as low as possible so that people have spare money to spend and help keep the economy moving. Another argument against rate rises is that the current inflation doesn’t appear to be the result of consumers having too much money, but rather goods being more expensive to produce. That means interest-rate rises might not have that much effect and could even cause problems with consumers cutting back on purchases of nonessential goods. On the other hand, the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (which sets interest rates in the UK) may conclude rate rises are its last resort against excessive inflation. That means existing borrowers, those coming to the end of fixed term deals, and those planning to take out a mortgage for the first time, should all build some extra slack into their calculations and make sure they could cope with any increase in their monthly repayments.

From luxurious spa weekends to glamping beneath the stars, there are countless ways to spend quality time with your partner. Here are five romantic getaway ideas guaranteed to add some spice to your love life.

Spa weekend When it comes to rest, relaxation and romance, nothing beats an indulgent spa break in a dreamy locale. Although there are plenty of sunsoaked spa locations to jet off to (Bali and the Maldives, for example) there’s probably a luxury spa within driving distance of you too. Imagine enjoying one another’s company in a bubbling Jacuzzi, before slipping off for a couples’ massage. From sprawling country house hotels cradled by beautiful gardens to townhouses with thermal spas, there’s a romantic spa weekend for every taste and budget.

Glamping Is there anything more romantic than cuddling up with the one you love in a cosy cabin next to a crackling fire? We think not! That’s why, when it comes to romantic breaks, glamping is certainly top of the list. From yurts in the Swiss mountains to log cabins in Canada’s Banff National Park, not to mention tipis, bell tents and hideaways at home too, there’s no better way to reconnect with nature. City break When we think of romantic city breaks, cruising along the Seine in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower may immediately spring to mind. But Paris isn’t the only city that promises tales of beauty, love and romance. Rome is famous for its opera and ballet, while Venice’s gondola rides amidst historic palazzos ooze romance – and that’s just in Europe. Travel further, and you and your beloved could be soaking up the old-world charm of Canada’s Quebec City, or cosying up beneath the cherry blossoms of Japan’s most romantic city, Kyoto. Vineyard stays Culturally, wine has long been an important part of celebrating romance. From anniversary dinners to your wedding day, it’s no secret that a glass of vino makes everything feel a little bit more special. So, if you and your partner share a love for wine, why not consider an intimate vineyard stay? The region of Tuscany in Italy is synonymous with wine and dining, but the UK is home to dozens of estates too, offering accommodation, wine tours, foodie experiences – and more. Island retreat For many of us, nothing says romance like sinking your toes into a soft, sandy beach. And while the likes of Hawaii, the Caribbean and the Maldives certainly promise the honeymoon of dreams, there’s plenty of budget-friendly islands to escape to on a budget too. From the remote mountainous terrain of Scotland’s Isle of Skye to the unspoilt beauty of Cornwall’s Scilly Isles, this island we call home has all the necessary ingredients for your next romantic getaway.

Pauline had heard it all before. Nicola was an incurable romantic who enjoyed the thrill of the chase. 61

“He said he was a shy, private man and that previous lady friends had tried to coax him out of his shell too quickly.” She raised an eyebrow. “He said he was looking for a special someone he could share his love of aquariums with, and signed his emails ‘Shubunkin Steve’.”

talking really loudly on his mobile phone.” Nicola leaned forward. “The one who complained about my gnomes to the council.” “He’s a menace,” Pauline hissed, though privately agreeing that some of Nicola’s gnomes were a little risqué for a front garden. “Isn’t he married?” “Precisely,” Nicola nodded. “I stood up, in full view of everyone, pointed at him and said, ‘Does your wife know you’re here?’” “Good for you.” Pauline was enjoying the story. “So what did he do?” “He just looked at me.” Nicola shrugged. “Said yes, I’ve come to fetch her a tuna panini.” “The cheek!” Pauline tutted.

“But you don’t know anything about tropical fish,” Pauline interrupted.

“I know,” Nicola nodded. “I said what’s that under your arm then?” “And?”

“I’ve got my water feature on the front lawn,” Nicola protested. “And I’ve read that magazine now, so I’m all clued up. Anyway, I arranged to meet him here, in this cafe, last Saturday afternoon.”

“He said it’s a bag for life.” Nicola rolled her eyes. “Then he said aren’t you that woman from our street who likes little semi-naked men arranged all round her pond?”

“He actually turned up?” said Pauline.

“No!”

“Got there early, had a glance around.” Nicola refused to be rushed. “There were half a dozen single blokes here that day, but none of them looked like they were waiting for someone, so I thought I’ll just wait and see who comes in.”

“I said yes, what of it?” Nicola nodded triumphantly. “Going to go crying to the council again?”

“Did he tell you how you could spot him?” Pauline asked.

“I couldn’t say for certain, but a little chap suddenly shot out the door with a magazine stuffed up his coat,” sighed Nicola.

“He said he’d have a copy of ‘our’ magazine.” Nicola shrugged coyly. “So here I was, sipping my mochaccino, and who should walk in with something folded under his arm?” “Who?” Pauline asked impatiently. “That chap who’s forever walking up my road

“Did the real Shubunkin Steve ever turn up?” Pauline asked.

“Must have scared him off. He did say he shy,” Pauline said. “So it was all a waste of your time.” “Not in the slightest.” Nicola winked. “Suddenly all the other blokes in the cafe were desperate to buy me a coffee.”

Switch off screens It’s all too tempting to scroll through Instagram in bed, but try to resist. The blue light emitted from screens can interrupt your natural sleep-wake rhythm. Even if your phone has a night-time filter, screen-time can still make it harder to relax and fall asleep. Try downloading an app that blocks social media and other distractions at night.

Cleanse the day away We tend to see makeup removal as a chore, but it doesn’t have to be. Cleansing is an act of selfcare and can help to release stress and tension. Look for a balm that can be massaged into your skin and easily removed with a damp muslin cloth. Bad Habit’s Omzzz Acai Nightly Cleansing Balm (£18, uk.morphe.com) is a good choice as it boosts moisture levels and has a calming lavender fragrance. For an extra soothing treat, try a heated face mask. Sensory Retreats Divine Glow Self-Heating Face Masks cost £15 for three from www.sensoryretreats.com.

Use a night cream Night creams tend to be richer than day moisturisers. They often contain ingredients best used at night (such as retinol) and are designed to boost skin cell renewal. For best results, look for one that’s targeted at your age or skin type. No7, for example, offers three different formulations – Protect & Perfect Night Cream for women aged 35-45, Lift & Luminate (4560) and Restore & Renew (60+). As an added bonus, each one now contains Boots’ PreSleep Fragrance, which smells gorgeous and is designed to promote a better night’s sleep. They’re available from £24.95 at www.boots.com.

And breathe… People have been using the power of aromatherapy for centuries. Add a few drops of essential oil to an electric diffuser half an hour before you want to sleep. You could make your own blend of calming aromatherapy oils, or just pick up a readymade one. Alexandra Kay’s Time to Sleep Pure Essential Oil Blend (£20, www.greenpeople. co.uk) features seven sleep-inducing essential oils, including lavender, bergamot and frankincense. Together, they work to calm your senses and prepare you for sleep. (Plus, the blend smells divine.) Block out the light While children might need a nightlight, adults usually sleep much better in the dark. Darkness sends your body a signal that it’s time to rest and it increases your melatonin levels. If you need to sleep during the day, try using a sleep mask. The Tiffy & Tallulah Sleep Mask (£9, www. tiffyantallulah.com) is made from vegan-silk. Not only does it block out the light, it also feels really comforting. Plus, it helps your skin to stay hydrated. Relax Does your mind keep racing while you’re trying to sleep? Try guided meditation: www.calm.com and www.thecalmsleep.com are a good place to start if you’re new to meditation. Or, if you struggle to meditate, try www.brain.fm, which offers music specifically designed to help your mind relax into sleep.

KINGSTON & DISTRICT PHILATELIC SOCIETY The Society has now established itself at the new venue at the Day Centre at Claygate, Surrey. We still welcome friends from Berrylands and Surbiton generally as this venue is still within easy reach of the centre of Kingston upon Thames, has excellent facilities and a congenial atmosphere with excellent car parking. We are also inviting new members from those who would find Claygate more convenient to attend an evening meeting here rather than at Surbiton.

To advertise call Karen: 020 8274 0096

We have had regular meetings on the first Thursday and third Friday of each month, where interesting displays have been viewed. Often suitably masked. Our annual Social Event was a problem, in December, as many members are still very cautious regarding the pandemic. Details of the Society can be obtained by contacting the Hon Secretary, Brian Sole, F.R.P.S.L. on 01932 220677 or on brian.sole@ btinternet.com or our website: www.kingstonphilatelicsociety.com

If you love Snickers this is the dessert for you! With a gorgeous caramel centre and topped with chocolate, this is a rich indulgent treat. For smaller portions, use a pastry cutter and line a 12-hole tart tin in the same way as if making jam tarts.

1. Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas mark 5.

Makes 8 or 12 tartlets, or one 20cm tart Serves 8-12

4. Line either 8 individual tart tins or a 12-hole tart tin, or one 20cm / 8-inch fluted tart tin. Ideally use tins with removable bases to make it easier to remove the tarts when baked.

Pastry • 200g gluten-free plain flour • ¾ tsp xanthan gum • 100g butter, cut into small pieces • 1 egg Caramel filling • 150g pitted soft dates, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes then drained • 40g maple syrup • 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond nut butter • 3 tbsp coconut oil • 2-3 tbsp boiling water to blend • 1 tbsp vanilla extract Chocolate Ganache • 50ml double cream or coconut cream • 200g dark chocolate chips

2. Make the pastry. Place the flour and xanthan gum with the butter in a food processor and whiz to form breadcrumbs. Add the egg and a little water, if needed for the mixture to come together, to form a moist, slightly damp dough. 3. Roll out the pastry between two sheets of cling film – this will make it easier to roll out.

5. Prick the bases all over with a fork and line with baking paper, then fill with baking beans and bake for 10 minutes or until the edges are just browning. Remove the baking beans and paper and bake for a further 5-10 minutes or until golden brown all over. Cool completely before using. If using a 12-hole tart tin bake them for around 5-10 minutes until golden. 6. To make the caramel filling, simply place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend to form a thick paste. 7. Spoon the caramel into the tart cases then chill for 1 hour to firm up. 8. Place the cream and chocolate in a small saucepan and warm gently. Beat well until the chocolate has melted and you have a thick ganache. 9. Pour the chocolate over the caramel filling and place back in the fridge for 1 hour to set.

Science aligns with art when it comes to developing a sense of well-being in our homes, with serious research that outlines ways in which we can redefine design schemes to promote mental and physical good health. Scientific experiments have shown that, if we get it right, we can reduce stress, blood pressure and heart rates, while increasing productivity and creativity. :sU tcatnoC

Add some house plants Our brains are wired to respond positively to the signs of a healthy natural world, like house plants, not to mention the mental positives that come from the mindful repetition of watering, spraying, dead heading and so on, while enjoying watching your plant thrive. As well as real, living elements placed indoors, looking out onto beautiful views is demonstrably good for us, as are artworks that realistically depict natural scenes. Get the light right Numerous studies have also linked natural light to increases in mood and cognitive performance. If you are renovating, it’s worth looking at light-enhancing alterations such as enlarging windows, replacing solid doors with glazed ones, adding a skylight or French doors, and so on. On a more basic level, check that curtains or tall furniture do not block windows, and place mirrors where they can bounce light around. High-sheen surfaces can help with this, too.

Consider colour The theory goes that we react well to colours that remind us of positive experiences, which often occur in nature. So blue (water) is calming, green (spring growth) is stimulating, yellow (sunshine and crops) is welcoming and red (fruit and berries) is stimulating. Green has also been linked to enhanced performance – so is a great colour for a home office. De-clutter and display Studies have linked clutter with fatigue, depression and lack of focus, so tidying up really can reduce stress and anxiety. But sparse spaces are also stress-inducing, hence the ideal option is to have well-organised areas in which you display items meaningful to you. A pleasing variation of colours and shapes, arranged with a sense of order, is the best way to appeal to the brain. Curved shapes are linked to comfort, while straight lines indicate efficiency – so a squishy sofa feels even more comfortable because of its rounded shape, while a work desk will benefit from the geometric lines of, let’s say, angular organisers and contemporary lighting.

Artificial lighting is worth designing with our circadian rhythms in mind, so that it aligns with natural periods of light and dark, and too-bright light does not interrupt our sleep/wake cycle. One trick is to use full-spectrum lights during the daytime then dimming them to a warm light in the evening, triggering melatonin and helping you go to sleep. Make sure your home smells and sounds good Opening windows and airing your home thoroughly can be greatly beneficial, and why not add some scents that make you feel positive? Use a natural wax candle or an electric diffuser, and try lemon for office work or

Be practical – and emotional Our homes fulfil many different functions, from work space to entertaining space to somewhere to relax. The practicalities of design are crucial to ensure that every corner of your home works hard doing what it’s meant to do, so good storage is key, as is an easy flow from room to room and the placing of furniture in convenient, practical ways. A lamp next to an armchair, with a side table close enough to reach, perhaps near a radiator or a fire; the dishwasher close to the cupboard in which the crockery is stored; a shower with an adjacent towel rail and enough space to stand and dry yourself… Where there are frustrations in carrying out your day-to-day life, try to change them and you may well find that your mood changes, too. And finally, create spaces for socialising, for bringing people together to talk and enjoy each other’s company – with seating in an L-shape or, even better, a circle, and also spaces for relaxation: calm and quiet, perhaps painted in a darker colour, where you can feel safe, private and completely, peacefully, yourself.

Giant Hogweed

Things to avoid in the garden We all know that gardens are good for us, but a few plants are extremely poisonous and in very rare cases can even cause death. Be aware of potential hazards when choosing plants, and be cautious when visiting other people’s outdoor spaces and when out and about enjoying nature. It’s particularly important to ensure that anything touched by toddlers, small children and even pets, is as safe as possible. Some of the most poisonous plants in the UK: Monkshood, Aconitum napellus, also known as wolfsbane. It is a tall plant that produces beautiful purple-blue flowers in summer. They look rather like a monk’s habit, hence the common name. Despite the fact that touching the leaves and then eating even a small part, or allowing entry of the plant via an open wound, can lead to fatal poisoning, this plant is widely available for planting within gardens. It doesn’t always come with a warning.

Aconitum, also known as Monkshood

The death-cap mushroom, Amanita phalliodes. This is a fairly common fungus here in the UK, growing in mixed deciduous woods, particularly under oak and beech trees. It’s quite a large mushroom, growing up to 15cm across with a domed, white cap. It looks similar to several edible mushrooms but is deadly poisonous. Some call it the silent assassin and only a small amount can result in death. It contains a toxin for which there is no known cure.

Hemlock, Conium maculatum is a highly poisonous flowering plant that is a member of the carrot family. It has a rather attractive umbel flower and purple spots on the green stems. It’s common in the UK, growing by hedges, ditches and woodland edges. All parts of the plant are toxic because of a fast-acting poison called cicutoxin. This causes stomach upsets and even paralysis of the lungs. The Greek philosopher, Socrates, was said to have died after being poisoned by tea made from this plant. Deadly nightshade, Atropa belladonna, is obviously poisonous – the clue is in the common name! It’s actually the fruits that are the biggest problem on this tall, bushy plant that likes shady and wooded areas. It produces bell-shaped flowers in early summer followed by black berries that can grow to the size of cherries. They look tempting to eat but contain the toxins atropine and scopolamine, which cause paralysis to organs, including the heart. It’s a potential killer in severe cases. Giant hogweed, Heracleum mantegazzianum, has rightly earned a reputation for being one of Britain’s most dangerous plants. It probably won’t kill, but it burns severely due to its toxic sap, which reacts

with human skin and sunlight. It’s a huge beast, growing up to 4.5 metres tall, with umbrella-shaped Rates Advertiser’s Guide white flower clusters. Price List - Our Prices Haven’t Increased for 2 Years 1 Issue

Even foxgloves are poisonous, if consumed. They contain digitalis and other chemicals that affect the heart. The pretty, bell-shaped, tubular flowers are just the right size for little fingers, so you won’t want these transferred into the mouth. Quarter Page

The ultimate comfort food and the perfect dish for getting ahead and reheating in the oven when needed. A delicious family meal that is equally indulgent for a special occasion. Want to save time? Use ready-prepared meatballs for a speedy option. Serves 6 Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 35 minutes Meatballs • 500g pork mince • ½ tsp fennel seeds • Pinch of smoked paprika • Salt and black pepper • Olive oil for drizzling • Tomato Sauce • 1 tbsp olive oil • 1 onion, chopped • 2 garlic cloves, chopped • 1 tbsp tomato puree • 900ml passata • 1 tsp caster sugar • Salt and black pepper Pasta • 350g macaroni or other pasta shape • 250g mozzarella cheese, grated

1. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. 2. Place the pork mince in a bowl with the fennel seeds and paprika, and season with a little salt and pepper. Mix to combine then divide and shape the mixture into walnutsized meatballs. 3. Place the meatballs on a greased baking tray and drizzle with a little olive oil. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden. Turn halfway through cooking. 4. To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a large shallow casserole dish and sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato puree, passata, sugar and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer gently for 10 minutes. 5. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a pan of boiling water according to packet instructions, then drain, reserving some water. Tip the pasta into the tomato sauce with the meatballs. Add a little of the reserved water to thin the sauce if needed. Scatter over the cheese and place the casserole dish back in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling.

ack in the July-August 2021 edition of A Berrylands Companion I wrote about the sad death of our neighbour’s young cat, just seven years after one of our own cats was killed on our road. Since then, our neighbour has been trying to get some action, any action basically, from the local councillors and officers. An e-petition was set up and so many people signed it that it was due to be brought before the Surbiton Neighbourhood Committee, but we never did hear about that!! Promises were made by officers regarding meetings, that never materialised. Covid has so much to take responsibility for. The answer to follow up emails, if there was one, was that staff are working from home. Restrictions were eased during the year, leading us to hope that a meeting could be held within Covid safe precautions. But we are still waiting for a response. Late last year, Kingston Council legislated that the speed limit on all roads, apart from the main roads, such as Ewell Road, would be 20mph. Is there enough signage on the roads to indicate that? Are drivers aware of the limit? How many actually manage to keep to that speed? We asked for more signage about the 20mph limit and making the speed camers more productive by registering the speeding vehicle details and issuing warnings and or fines. It was also suggested that perhaps the pavements could be extended in several places, to make the road narrower, to avoid the straight run down from Brighton Road to Ewell Road. Drivers see the green light and seem determined to reach it before the change. To advertise call Karen: 020 8274 0096

Annoyingly, there is no warning at the top of the road, on the mini roundabout, to heavy vehicles with several axles that there is no safe left turn into Ewell Road. Consequently, several have come down the road and attempted a manouevre involving many reversing movemnts to get round the tight corner. The sat nav may say there is a left turn, but in reality, certain vehicles should not attempt it. 16

Were you aware that cats are probably the most numerous pets in the UK? According to the Highway Code, cats, despite being numerous, are not included in the list of animals which, if in an accident, the driver must stop and report to the police as per Rule 286 of the Highway Code. Included in that list will be dogs, sheep, pig, goat, horse, cattle, ass, mule as provided by the Road Traffic Act 1988. So you can be relieved to know that when your ass or mule is hit by a car, the driver will be liable to report to the police!!! But not if it’s your beloved cat. The Highway Code is outdated and antiquated, despite having some updates recently.

February in the UK is not noted for its abundance of fresh produce, but we make the best of it by having three days in the month that are all about food, and one that is about love – and therefore more food. On the 1st it’s the Chinese New Year, the 6th is Yorkshire Pudding Day, the 14th is Valentine’s Day. And then Pancake Day. Ah, although that is often in February, this year it’s on the 1st March, but what’s one day between friends? Let’s start planning it in February anyway. 00.016£

Chinese New Year 2022 is the year of the tiger. Of course, Chinese restaurants and takeaways will be making the most of the date with various promotions and special dishes. But, maybe this is the year you should bring out your inner tiger and have the courage to make your own from scratch.

Yorkshire Pudding Day A batter of eggs, flour and milk (or sometimes water) is poured into oiled and preheated baking pans. Although typically served with a roast dinner, for a special February treat you can’t beat toad in the hole, where sausages are added to the batter. If we are having a roast, let’s make the most of what is in season by eating root vegetables – carrots, swede and turnips. Add a bit of winter cabbage, too, for those all-important greens. Valentine’s Day Not strictly about food, but loving couples often celebrate the day by going out for a meal. And of course, chocolate, which is rumoured to be an aphrodisiac, is a popular gift. You do need to go for the dark stuff though but if your beloved doesn’t like it, maybe milk chocolate will have the desired effect, simply because of the thought behind it. Red wine – or indeed any alcohol within reason – has its part to play on this day too.

Pancake Day This is a batter of eggs, flour and milk. Yes, it’s a Yorkshire pudding in wolf’s clothing. The different cooking method means pancakes are never served with a roast dinner, any more than Yorkshires are sprinkled with sugar and lemon. For a bit of variety, whip up fluffy American-style pancakes using selfraising flour instead of plain, and include baking powder for extra rise. Cook up some apples and add some spices to give your pancakes at least a bit of seasonal interest.

7 yr old Bomber is very ready to go to his forever home, which he so richly deserves after being in care for so long. He is very friendly and so chatty – he chirrups all the time. He loves his food and certainly needs more space to run around and lose some weight! Bomber has been given a ball into which biscuits are put and then he bats the ball around to make the biscuits fall out. He loves this ball! Bomber needs to be adopted by a household of one or two people who have had the experience of looking after a long term stray which can be so rewarding. He will become a lovely companion for someone but at the moment he is not a lap cat. He needs direct access to a secure garden, with no other pets and no children. If you could give Bomber his forever home please email adoption@epsom.cats.org.uk or call 0345 260 1387.

In the UK, we spent almost £8 million on pets and related products back in 2020. According to the Office for National Statistics, this represented an increase in spending of around 170 per cent within a fifteen-year period. It seems that most of us will lavish not only attention on our animals but also provide them with activities and enrichment as a matter of course. Naturally, it is man’s best friend, the dog, that remains the most popular pet, closely followed by cats and, since the Covid-19 lockdown, indoor fish. As pet love has grown, so has the associated industry. Emerging trends show that we now show far more concern over nutrition for our pets than ever before. There are new food brands emerging with increasing frequency, rising to the challenge of providing good nutrition including supplements and superfoods.

Pet owners are more likely to take their animals to an array of activities. Dogs, being the most portable of pets, now benefit from doggy swimming pools, a range of classes such as scent work and agility, fun fields for safe play and animal-friendly cafes. Even the National Trust has introduced a new ‘three pawprint rating’ to show at a glance the most dog-friendly venues. There is clearly a significant financial commitment that goes hand in hand with pet ownership. Pets are no longer consigned to the kitchen – they’re truly part of the family. By Caroline Knight

When we say “care”, most people think of care for the elderly. But the wonderful word “care” applies in many situations – for people with mental health problems to people with a variety of disabilities.

Improving how we care for people isn’t just the right thing to do; it will have massive benefits for the NHS, not least enabling people to leave hospital at the right time and preventing people going to hospital in the first place – thus saving billions and freeing up precious staff and beds. The Government’s Care Reforms Last month, the Government published their White Paper “People at the Heart of Care”. This comes after last autumn’s announcement of a 1.25% rise in employees’ and employers’ national insurance contributions – though the vast bulk of that extra tax goes to the NHS and not to care. The reform plans cover issues from supported housing, to technology and workforce training. Among the announcements was £25 million for the country’s estimated 10 million unpaid carers and a new national website. While I don’t disagree with these minor measures, they fall a million miles short of what’s needed. They will not fix the care our loved ones need – and that means the NHS will soldier on, with money wasted because care is so badly underfunded. So I agree with the comments of Conservative Health and Social Care Committee Chair, Jeremy Hunt MP, on the Government’s care plan: “This is a disappointment, given the extent of the crisis in social care and the predicament of people whose quality of life is dependent on a solution being found.” The Care Crisis – Whitehall forcing council tax up This crisis in care is reported every week now – with hundreds of thousands missing out on the care they need. Over 400,000 people are waiting for their care needs just to be assessed, and the shortage of care workers is now estimated at over 120,000.

While we must of course support our NHS, especially during this toughest of times, reforms and improvements for care and carers must become more central to our debate.

Many councils are struggling with this alarming situa-

tion – made worse by care home closures and bankruptcies. While Kingston Council has managed care services far better than most Boroughs – for example, with a partnership for the promised new elderly care home shortly opening in Surbiton – central Government support for Kingston’s care services is totally inadequate, with Ministers forcing Councils like Kingston to raise council tax even more, to pay for rising care costs.

Inside Front + Back Cover

As Conservative MP Jeremy Hunt says, “Providing an additional £1.7 billion in funding over three years falls far short of the annual £7 billion sum that our evidence found would be necessary to fix social care.” Missed opportunities for real reform of care There are two huge gaps in the Government’s proposals: no serious plan to tackle the endemic staff shortages, and no new deal for family carers – the unpaid heroes of caring. Since we’ll never improve care if we don’t have trained staff, making caring a more attractive and better paid profession should be paramount. A report this October from “Skills for Care” showed alarmingly high rates of staff turnover of around 30%. The survey showed high levels of poor mental health and “burn out”. As the White Paper says, “large parts of the workforce are unregistered and undertrained with no clear structure or learning offer.” Yet Ministers’ proposals don’t even mention pay, let alone where we will find the extra people we need. A major issue for me has been family carers estimated at between 9 and 10 million people – Britain’s unpaid army of carers, looking after loved ones and doing the vast bulk of the nation’s caring. The White Paper has one short chapter on family carers, and the policies were beyond weak. I’ve not only had a lifetime of caring myself but I’ve spent considerable time talking to carers and their representatives over the last year - from young carers to Kingston Carers’ Network and to carer groups around the country. The top two issues carers raise – a need for a quantum rise in breaks for carers (“respite care”) and for reforms and rises in Carers’ Allowance - get no mention in the Government’s plans at all. In Parliament, I’ve also championed major changes in Employment Law to help carers balance work and caring better, yet the White Paper barely scratches the surface on this. I’m determined to push better care policies to make a real difference for the millions of people needing better care – as well as their family carers. I’m also convinced it’s the only way to reform and improve our NHS.
