Editors’
Letter
Welcome to the September/October issue of Chiltern View Magazine.
mean that some of you may have received the magazine for the first time in July – we do hope you found it useful and informative. Sadly, the majority of our wonderful community groups are still not able to meet, so the magazine has a slightly different flavour than usual. All of our community information is kept up to date on our website www.chilternviewmagazines. co.uk/events/ so do let us know if you hear of any changes that we have missed.
It is always something of a challenge to write the Editor’s letter, as we have a lead time of about 3 weeks between writing and delivering, but, in these strange times, things can change very quickly and become ‘old news’ before the printers ink has dried! We apologise if anything in the magazine is out of date, but we do try to keep the information as current as possible.
Lastly, can you find the car? For your chance to win a family ticket to next year’s Kop Hill Climb, simply find the classic car hidden in the magazine and follow the instructions on how to take part on Page 16. Our thanks to Kop Hill for this wonderful prize.
We would like to say an enormous ‘well done’ to all of our local businesses who are now trading again and are keen to spread the word via Chiltern View Magazine. At present the magazine is still being delivered by Royal Mail and this does
Until next time……….
Hoping you all stay safe.

Your Local Computer Repair & Support he response to our computer repair and support advertising in the Chiltern Area has been overwhelming and we now have lots of new clients on our books, many of whom have signed up to our monthly, remote support cover. Below are just some of our clients' thoughts on our services: “I can’t thank PChelp4U enough for sorting out my serious computer problem. I have never, in dealings with any company, had such prompt and wonderful service from all the staff and what’s more they kept me informed of what they had to do to resolve the problem. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to sort out your computer problems and I know of other people in my area who have used them as well and are very, very satisfied with their response.” Anne Webb, Watlington
“It is not just PChelp4U competence and capability with all manner of communication equipment that makes me confident in recommending them to others, but their manner in which they conduct their business. They don’t just service your equipment they serve you, the people in need of their expertise and professionalism, at the time of your needs: and promptly.” Cliff Craig-Butler, Haddenham “Very happy with the prompt and efficient service I had. I will be using your company again, when necessary, and will be looking for a quote from you for a new computer towards the end of the year.” Eddie Schleising, Thame

Health
Working from Home Increasingly, going into the office doesn’t even require heading out the door. But working from home can present a unique set of challenges, especially when it comes to your health. The abundance of alluring snacks in the kitchen, the lack of social stimulation and the temptation to work in an ergonomically unsound position, like in bed, can all sabotage our best health intentions. Here are some tips for staying healthy while working from home: Set up a separate office space. Use a space in your home that’s designated solely for work. Choose a good chair. Or ditch the chair altogether. Use a standing desk to give your back a break and reduce your overall risks. Get up every half an hour and get out at least once a day. Set a timer or use an app to remind you to get up and stretch once every 30 minutes, and make sure to get outside, even just to walk around the garden.
14
Set a schedule and stick to it. It can be tempting to wake up late and work at odd hours, but you will benefit your mental and physical health. Importantly schedule your own time! Get showered and dressed as if you’re going to the office. Research has shown that self-efficacy has a positive impact on health behaviours, including weight control and exercise. Get social in your community. Maintaining healthy social connections improves your overall well-being and helps you stay motivated.
Best wishes, David

Kop Hill Climb Dear Everyone, It is with a heavy heart that the Kop Hill Climb Organising Committee has taken the decision not to proceed with an event of any kind this year. Since the advent of Covid-19, the Committee has been hoping that, by September, we would be able to stage the event that everyone knows and loves in order to continue raising funds for our charities, whose need is now greater than ever. Various alternatives which greatly reduced the public risk have been considered, including classic vehicle charity runs through the towns and villages of Buckinghamshire.
Meanwhile, our charities continue to look to us to provide whatever financial help is possible. The Committee has already launched an appeal for funds. https://www.totalgiving.co.uk/mypage/ khcappeal If you have fond memories of the event over the past eleven years, please consider 2020 as a year in which you can still make a difference to so many, even though we have no event to offer.
However, after careful and rigorous examination of them all, the Committee has reached the conclusion that none of these substitute plans would fulfil the financial and safety criteria essential to a successful event. It is, therefore, shortly beginning work on plans for 2021, when we all fervently hope that the event as we know it will once again take place. Next year will mark the 110th Anniversary of the first ever Kop Hill Climb, which is an incentive for everyone to return with renewed vigour and appetite.
Our magazine is available from the KHC website by clicking “shop� on the toolbar and all proceeds go to our appeal fund. With the grateful thanks of all our volunteers and those we support. kophillclimb.org.uk

Supporting Local Businesses with The Lockdown Larder Kingston Blount Farms have been supporting other businesses and diversifying during lockdown! It all started while Jason was in a shed putting milk in a fridge and the conversation was started! We realised we could provide a safe way for our local villagers to grab the essentials without having to go into a busy shop. They could even incorporate it into their daily exercise by walking down to us! The Lockdown Larder was born! The name was agreed & a sign was painted. Initially we set up in the livestock trailer. A fridge, a table, some bunting and a stripy rug were added & suddenly, we had the beginnings of a shop!
Saturday, from the bakery at Long Crendon Manor (www.stables.longcrendonmanor.co.uk/bakery). • Delicious Ice Cream from Chiltern Ice cream (www.chilternicecream.co.uk) as well as delicate sorbets • Homebred Beef and lamb – these are with us from birth until we take them ourselves to the abattoir which minimizes stress, which in turn makes for a better meat. Nothing travels any further than 25 miles! • We are now also stocking honey from the bees in the lambing field and from September we will be stocking honey from our own hives which are amongst the Phacelia and the Sunflowers. • Pasteurised apple juice from our own apples • Fresh seasonal vegetables from the garden and potatoes from Rectory Farm. • We even stock beautiful British Sheepskin rugs!
We bought flour in bulk from Heygates (www.heygates.co.uk), who we sell some of our milling wheat to. A production line was set up at the kitchen table, weighing, bagging, stitching and labelling. We then arranged for milk and cream to be delivered twice a week from Laceys Family Farm at Lane End (www.laceysfamilyfarm.co.uk); they are our local dairy and it really is the best! And then we grew! We asked the local community what else they would like, and the rest is history! So, as well as the above, we now stock the following: • Large free-range eggs - some from our own hens and the rest are supplied by Laceys. • Our very own Milly’s cakes at least twice a week as well as bread and pastries to order every 22
• And finally, we are also now a refill station for Ecover (www.ecover.com)! When the sun was shining the trailer worked so well, it was quirky, easy to access, easy to disinfect and made social distancing so much easier, but then the weather changed! And the stock trailer was needed for purpose! After much deliberation, cogitation and speculation and many conversations with our lovely customers, we decided to invest in a portable building. So that is where we are now! A new Venture has begun! Come and visit us at Kingston Blount Farm, September Cottage, 1 Stert Road, OX39 4SA Chinnor. Our sign is clearly displayed on the Stert Road. For more information, please like / follow our Facebook page at Kingston Blount Farms! www.chilternviewmagazines.co.uk

What’s On Sadly, due to current circumstances, we haven’t been able to include all our events pages. These groups and social meetings have been badly hit by Covid19 and no one is sure when they will be able to reopen. This doesn’t mean we have forgotten anyone though and we would like to remind people to check out our What’s On, Community Events page at www.chilternviewmagazines.co.uk/events/ Whilst a lot of these events won’t be on at the moment, there may be some updates, so it is worth having a look. We will do our best to keep in touch with all our groups and organisations and find out what they are up to so that we can share this information on our website

As many of you will know, we cancelled our regular daily service from mid-March in response to Government guidelines on dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. We also stopped running outings and making the bus available for group use. However, our bus and drivers have not been idle. We joined with Princes Risborough Town Council in providing a delivery service from The Risborough Basket and our bus delivered essential supplies to the outlying villages until the beginning of August. The delivery service was a lifeline for many people in the outlying villages and greatly valued.
On 19th July we celebrated the 10th Anniversary of starting our service by delivering afternoon tea tins to nearly 100 of our loyal passengers in and around Princes Risborough. We’re now looking at when we might be able to get back to our normal bus service. Restarting will not be easy but we will keep our passengers informed through Chiltern View magazine and our website www.racb.co.uk For further information contact Debbie on 07941 963097 or email her at racb@talktalk.net

Crispy topped deep-dish apple pie Make the most of the abundance of home-grown apples at this time of year with this delicious deep-dish apple pie. Serve with cream, custard or ice cream. Serves 8 Ready in 1 hour 40 minutes, plus chilling and cooling FOR THE PASTRY CASE AND FILLING 500g ready-made shortcrust pastry, thawed if frozen Flour, for dusting 1kg eating apples, peeled, cored and diced 100g caster sugar 2 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tbsp lemon juice 1 egg, beaten FOR THE CRISPY TOPPING 40g unsalted butter 40g light soft brown sugar 50g toasted flaked almonds 1 For the pastry case, roll out two-thirds of the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a greased 23cm round spring-form cake tin (the pastry 28
needs to come right up the sides of the tin). Chill in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 190C, 170C fan, gas mark 5. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat up. 2 For the filling, place the diced apples in a bowl and stir in the caster sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Spoon the mixture into the pastry case. Brush the rim of the pastry case with beaten egg. Roll out the rest of the pastry to a circle large enough to cover the filling, and drape over the filling. Pinch the edges together to seal then trim off any excess pastry. Brush the top with beaten egg. 3 Bake the pie on the pre-heated baking sheet for 40-45 minutes until the pastry is pale golden. 4 For the crispy topping, heat all the ingredients in a medium pan and let bubble for 2-3 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and gently spread the hot mixture over the top of the pie. Return the pie to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes until the topping is crunchy. Serve warm or cold.
TIP Replace the apples with diced pears if liked, or try a mix of both. www.chilternviewmagazines.co.uk

Pet Health
The Dangers Of Pet Dental Disease By Crossroads Veterinary Centre As humans we can’t imagine never brushing our teeth, as we know our teeth would rot and eventually fall out. Well, the same rule applies to our cats and dogs. The best way of preventing dental disease is by daily brushing, and prevention is far better than cure. It is not uncommon to hear people say things such as: ‘But he/she’s still eating so they can’t be in that much pain’ ‘My dog has dog breath but it is normal for dogs to have stinky breath’ Nope! Both statements are untrue. Pets will continue to eat, and eat well, even when they have severe dental disease. It is a natural survival instinct in animals. Animals are also amazing at coping and hiding signs of illness, so just because they are eating doesn’t mean that their mouth isn’t sore or that their teeth are ok. Halitosis is one of the most obvious symptoms of dental disease and might mean there is severe infection/decay within the mouth. What dental problems should you look out for? • Plaque- sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth after eating • Tartar - Over time plaque hardens into yellow/ brown tartar or calculus, which is firmly attached to the tooth. • Gingivitis - Redness/inflammation along the gum line 30
• Bleeding from the gums • Broken or loose teeth • Bad Breath What other problems can dental disease cause? Severe dental disease causes bacteria to be released into the bloodstream which can have serious effects on the major organs such as the heart, liver and kidneys. Looking after your pet’s teeth means you’re looking after your pet’s health. How is dental disease treated? In the early stages of dental disease, home care such as regular brushing or enzymatic gels on the gums may be enough to reverse the signs. However, once there is tartar build up, a professional scale and polish will be needed under anaesthetic, to remove the calculus and allow the vet to assess the entire mouth with a dental probe to check what is going on beneath the gum line. As so much of the damage is often below the gum line your vet may also need to take dental x-rays. Unsure if your pet has dental problems? Many veterinary practices offer free of charge dental checks, so why not make an appointment and let your vet check your pet’s teeth, and discuss the best dental treatment options with you. Treating dental problems early will save you money in the long run and help your pet live a healthier life! To advertise here please email salesvv@live.co.uk

GULP! The damaging effects of hard water are far more serious than you might think. Limescale in your water supply is impacting both you and your home. The most obvious sign you live in a hard water area is in your kettle. Mineral deposits in the water are left all over the element and up the sides in the form of damaging and unsightly limescale. Most people just use a liquid descaler from time to time and think no more of it. But, if you fill your kettle with hard water that also means you’re running it through your hot water boiler, your washing machine, your dishwasher and your plumbing. Never mind your family are bathing in it too!
The result? Hard water is costing you and your home.
Not only that, when you wash, bathe or shower in hard water the result is often dry, irritated skin and lifeless, dull hair.
The answer is a Kinetico Water Softener Designed by the world’s leading manufacturer of water softeners. The Kinetico Premier Compact’s twin-tank system prevents damaging limescale from ruining your home and ensures a constant supply of wonderfully soft water 24 hours a day.
You’ll notice the difference straight away Appliances like your washing machine are wearing out quicker than they should and you’re using far more cleaning products and toiletries than you really need to.
When you wash in wonderfully soft Kinetico water your skin will feel softer and your hair will look shinier. Not only that, you’ll find your tiles, shower screen
and work surfaces are so much easier and quicker to clean too.
quiet, it can fit neatly in a corner under your kitchen sink. Installation offer is subject to survey and any further costs are quoted prior to purchase.
You can transform the water you drink too Over the course of a year, you could save up to £400 (average family of 4) on household cleaning products and toiletries.
Save time and money, and look after your appliances Limescale build up in any appliance that uses hard water can cause it to work less efficiently and wear out quicker. The more expensive the appliance the more costly it is to repair and renew. Soft water causes none of these problems and therefore appliances will work better and last longer.
Simple and easy to install A Kinetico Water Softener is non-electric which means there’s no wiring or power required so installation is simple and running costs low. Compact and
FREE installation worth over £250
With a Kinetico water filter you can also enjoy great tasting water straight from the tap. A high carbon filter helps take out impurities like chlorine, lead and bacteria to provide a constant supply of fresh, delicious drinking water 24/7. Far better than jug filtered water, it’s also a lot cheaper per litre than bottled water.

Kenzo’s Diaries – A Dogs Life This week has been full of fun! I’ve been very busy helpin’ all my ‘hoomans’ with jobs around the house, such as sweepin’ the floors, mowin’ the grass and obviously, one of my favourites, gardenin’. But I also did lots of things just for me! There are some lovely wildflower meadows near me, that my ‘hoomans’ have found. They are so excitin’ to run through and I just love to jump, jump, jump up above them, so my ears flap in the wind. My ‘hoomans’ also seem to love it because they always try and take ‘pikturs’ of me. I run straight at them, to make sure they can see my best jumpin’ skills. I wish they would take me there every day. Besides all my crazy jumpin’, I’ve also been doing lots of trainin’ this week, which really does tire me out. I learnt a new trick!
It’s so simple, but I kept being told I was “Such a clever boy”; I don’t know why my ‘hoomans’ think it’s so hard. Anyway, back to my new skill, basically all I have to do is, when my ‘hoomans’ say “Bel”, I have to hit this ‘dingy’ thing and then I get a treat. So easy. I was a little nervous at first, because I didn’t know if the ‘dinging’ was a good thing, but as soon as I realised it meant treat, I didn’t stop. I just kept hittin’ it over, and over again until there were no treats left. I think this might be my new favourite game!

Length: 4 miles (Allow 2½ hours) Start & finish: Free roadside parking in Church Road, Cadmore End HP14 3PE

Book Review
Books of self-discovery The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse – Charlie Mackesy These illustrations of conversations between a boy, a mole, a fox and a horse have been shared across the world. As the author says, the characters “are all different, like us, and each has their own weaknesses. I can see myself in all four of them, perhaps you can too.” Personally, I challenge anyone to read it and not feel at least a tiny bit lighter, more hopeful and more connected to those around us. A Street Cat Named Bob – James Bowen James had very little to give when he found an injured stray cat. A recovering drug-addict, James was living in sheltered accommodation and busking to earn enough money to eat. But it turned out that taking in the ginger cat, which he named Bob, would change James’ life. This true story is a few years old now, and you could just choose to watch the film adaptation. But if you want to curl up with a feel-good story full of hope, resilience and friendship, it won’t disappoint. Staying Alive: real poems for unreal times – Neil Astley The five hundred poems in this anthology cover a wide range of subjects, from depression and death to joy, personal quests and self-discoveries. As the synopsis says, these are poems that are “fired by belief in the human and the spiritual at a time when much in the world feels unreal, inhuman and hollow.” You’ll rediscover poems you’ve likely heard many
50
times before, such as Robert Frost’s ‘The Road Not Taken’, and also have your eyes opened to a whole new legion of poets. Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow – Jessica Townsend Morrigan Crow is cursed to die on her eleventh birthday. And it seems that for those around her, her death can’t come soon enough. But then Morrigan is whisked away by the mysterious Jupiter Crow. She has the chance of a new life as a member of the Wundrous Society, but only if she can pass a series of trials. A fantastic book for children and adults alike, Nevermoor is a great reminder that we can be so much more than society expects us to be. The Secrets of Sunshine – Phaedra Patrick After losing his wife a few years ago, Mitchell has withdrawn into his own small world – focusing on work and raising his daughter. But then an incident on a bridge leads Mitchell on a journey of self-discovery. Warm and light-hearted, without ever straying into saccharine-sweet territory, The Secrets of Sunshine is a cosy hug of a book. Stories for Kids Who Dare to be Different – Ben Brooks While this book is aimed at children, there are plenty of adults who will enjoy dipping into it. If you do, you’ll discover mini-bios of ordinary people who tend not to make it into the history books. And you might also learn a little bit more about well-known figures, including Dr Seuss, Andy Warhol, Whoopi Goldberg and John Boyega.

What our customers say: "My partner and I started Coco Accounting last year and decided to place an advert in Chiltern View to ‘test the water’. Since then we have received some significant enquiries of which some resulted in new customers and some of those are now with us for the long term. We believe we are testament to the fact that local advertising really does work and in today’s internet driven world, the word ‘local’ can mean so much, especially for a small business such as ours as we can meet our customers regularly to collect documents and discuss their business face to face. Thank you Chiltern View for giving us a head start and we look forward to continue growing our business with your help! David Saint - Coco Accounting

Stokenchurch Dog Rescue My name is Buzz; I’m a Husky Mix and i’m about 7 years old. I found myself in the care of Stokenchurch Dog Rescue via the pound as an unclaimed stray. I have settled in well since my arrival and have become accustomed to the daily routines. I am looking for a home who has had experience of the breed before as I need a lot of specialist care and regular grooming. During my time at Stokenchurch Dog Rescue I developed a fluid growth under my chin and had to have it drained, it has healed really nicely but I still have a few stitches where the growth was and I can be a little bit wary of people touching it. I do know some basic commands such as sit and my carers tell me that I’m a very clever boy with potential to learn so much more with the right positive based training.

I do like to play with my carers and love a fuss or a treat, but do not like to share my toys, but will happily play with them on my own. I do enjoy a good groom and will chatter with you whilst you are making me handsome. I am a bit too much with small dogs and can be intense with larger dogs so my carers think that I would be best as the only dog in the home. In a Husky experienced home, Buzz will make a fabulous addition.

Are you in the Market for a safe shopping experience? Thame was granted a Royal Market Charter in 1215 and markets have run in Thame every Tuesday since then. Looking back through history, this is certainly not the first pandemic the market has faced, and despite the challenges COVID-19 has created, it has continued to trade throughout lockdown. A trip to the market guarantees you a vibrant display of produce, gifts, homeware, clothes and more with friendly traders always ready to help – the only difference now is that the stalls are spread out to take full advantage of the town’s wonderfully wide high street. Clear social distancing measures are in Photo courtesy of; place with stalls providing www.sachamoore.com hand sanitising opportunities – making sure that you feel completely safe as you browse all the market has to offer. On the second Tuesday of each month, the regular market is joined by Thame’s Farmers Markets, with stalls displaying an incredible range of produce grown and made within a 50 mile radius of Thame.
Arts in the UK which have been hit badly by Covid 19 and are struggling to survive. www.jesscox.info If you are looking for other ways to enjoy Thame safely there are also many other opportunities to get out and about in Thame with several free walking trails available to download at https://www.thametowncouncil.gov.uk/ visit-thame/town-trails/. Some of these take in the beautiful surrounding countryside, and some have a focus on History, leading you on a journey of discovery around the streets of Thame.
On a visit to the market you may enjoy some live entertainment - most recently from local professional cellist Jess Cox. Passionate about bringing live music back into the community, she has been raising funds for helpmusicians.org.uk – a charity supporting the 58

Stokenchurch Community Library has now resumed open-door sessions, with some slight modifications to make them Covid-safe – see website for more details of what to expect. Opening hours until at least the end of September are now Tueday 2-5, Thursday 2-5, and Saturday 10-1. Alongside the open-door sessions, the library is also continuing to offer its successful home delivery / collection service that it ran during the lockdown period, to cater for those who would prefer not to visit enclosed public spaces, or for whom the revised opening hours cause difficulty. So that we can be sure to get fully back to normal once the pandemic is over, we are urgently in need of more volunteers to work in the library and in several other roles.

Bake your Own Bread is a staple food in the UK and can be part of a healthy balanced diet. Wholegrain flours in bread have many benefits due to the natural fibre content and nutritional profile. A daily fibre intake of 30g - as part of a balanced nutritious diet - can have lasting health benefits; especially when taken alongside other measures such as reducing alcohol, not smoking, minimising stress, taking regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight. The health benefits of these measures include lowering the risks of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and bowel issues to name a few. I am pleased to share a tasty and versatile Focaccia recipe for you to enjoy. It is super-easy to make. Ingredients 700g Bread flour (try some granary or wholegrain flour or a mix of flours) 1 teaspoon salt 2x 7g sachets of dried Yeast (or equivalent fresh) Tepid water – to mix (approx. 500mls) Olive oil – 2 tablespoons Extra olive oil for greasing the tin and to brush the bread with
Method 1. Put the flour, salt and yeast in a bowl 2. Add the water and then the oil 3. Mix well to form a sticky dough (it should be a wet dough consistency that you cannot pick up) 4. Cover and leave in a warm place for 1 ½ hours 5. Grease a large roasting pan 6. Tip in the dough and spread until it covers the base of the tin 7. Sprinkle with salt, fresh/dried herbs, fresh/dried garlic and olive oil 8. Press in whole olives, baby tomatoes or anything else you fancy 9. Place in a hot oven 230c/450f/gas 8 until golden (about 12-15 minutes) 10.
