Editors’Letter Welcome to the July/August issue of Chiltern View magazine. This is our summer issue and, hopefully, by the time you read this the weather will be set to fair and we will all be enjoying some lovely, warm sunshine. This time of year includes the long school holidays so, with that in mind, we have a wonderful competition - just for the adults this time. Beerginvino have been kind enough to offer a tasting afternoon, so have a look at their advert on page 37 and get your entries in. The chance to win a well-earned, adult only afternoon, with drinks! Make sure you arrange a taxi home after! We’ve included some slightly different articles in this issue, with a more contemporary look. We really hope you like them. The barbecue chicken ( P58 ) would be ideal for a warm summer evening meal. We have beauty tips to keep you safe in the sun and a puzzle and cooking page,
especially for the kids. We still have our walks, crossword, health advice, travel ideas and book review, plus some local articles as well. Hopefully, there is something for everyone. For all our advertisers, we continue to print and distribute our magazines every other month. We make sure these are hand delivered through doors of homes and businesses by our wonderful, local team. We are extremely grateful to all of them, as they have continued to get our magazines out despite all the difficulties of the last year. This is obviously a key part of our business because without them, we wouldn’t get the magazines to our readers and the advertisers would not reap the benefit of great local advertising. Never before has it been so important to support our local businesses and help them get back on track. We will continue to do this and hope you will join us. Until next time

BEAUTY
Sun Savvy Your guide to protecting your skin throughout the warmer months. Preparation If you want to be sun savvy, then preparation is the key. Just as you wouldn’t leave a new-born in the sun without protection, your own skin is also more vulnerable after a winter spent locked inside, which is why wearing a good SPF is vital. Fortunately, many makeup and skincare brands now include sunscreen in their moisturisers and foundations, making it far easier to include facial protection in your day-to-day routine - it may seem like a strange concept to wear sun cream throughout the year, but ultraviolet rays are always present and penetrate clouds. Cost As with most things in life you get what you pay for, and it really is worth investing in some top-notch sun protection.
Firstly, it is important to understand what the SPF factor means. Contrary to popular belief, a higher SPF doesn’t mean that a factor 50 offers a higher level of protection than say, a factor 15. This is because the SPF number tells you how much longer it will take for your skin to burn than if you weren’t wearing any sunscreen at all. So if you’re wearing 50 SPF, it will take 50 times longer for your skin to turn red than if you weren’t wearing it. Secondly, make sure your sunscreen offers ‘broadspectrum protection’ rather than just SPF which only measures your skin’s ability to block UVB rays – these rays damage the outer layers of your skin and can cause sunburn and even blistering. Broad spectrum products, however, also protect your skin from UVA rays which are the more insidious of the two as they penetrate your skin at a deeper level and are
proven to contribute to the development of skin cancer. Be individual Be sure to choose a sunscreen that is tailored to your individual needs. If you have sensitive skin or want to use it on your face, then invest in a product that is sympathetic to those needs. Or if the sun cream is for your children who are spending the day by the pool, make sure it is waterproof and easy to apply. Be realistic While sunscreen works wonders, there are areas it cannot protect, such as your scalp and your eyes. If you’re not a hat person you may want to consider a head scarf or bandana, and when it comes to your eyes, well… who doesn’t look cool in a pair of sunglasses? For really scorching summer days you may want to consider avoiding the sun altogether; and remember, there is no such thing as a safe suntan!

Kop Hill Climb News Following all the frustrations and disappointments of 2020, the organisers of KHC have announced that they will be pressing ahead with a full event on the weekend of September 25/26 this year. This decision has been taken in the light of the remarkable success of the national vaccination programme, the fact that the event is still many weeks in the future and a record rate of entries for the hill run. KHC did hold a virtual event in September last year, which
p Hill Climb Ko
raised over £15,000 for its local charities. The KHC volunteers were recognised last year by having a Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service bestowed upon them. Given COVID restrictions, the ceremony couldn’t take place until May 25, 2021, but the presentation took place at Penn House where The Countess Howe, the recently-appointed new Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, made the Award to Nick Jeffery, the Chief Steward. In her address, The Countess Howe stressed both the longevity of the event and the dedication of the
volunteers to a cause which has to date raised over £750,000 for local charities and good causes. KHC was also fortunate enough to be one of the features in an episode of the new series of Great British Railway Journeys, featuring Michael Portillo. It was filmed in Autumn 2020 and broadcast on BBC2 on April 27, but is still available on BBC iPlayer. Early Bird tickets for the event are now on sale at www.kophillclimb.org.uk

KINETICO WATER go limescale-free and love your shiny new home!
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 kettle in the form of damaging and unsightly limescale. Most people just use a descaler 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, washing machine, dishwasher, plumbing and you’re showering in it too! Hard Water
Soft Water
The answer is a Kinetico Water Softener Designed by the world’s leading manufacturer of water softeners, the Kinetico Premier Compact has a twin-tank system that prevents damaging limescale from ruining your home and ensures a constant supply of soft water 24 hours a day.
You’ll notice the difference straight away When you wash in soft Kinetico water your skin will feel softer and your hair will look shinier. Your tiles, shower screen and work surfaces will be so much easier and quicker to clean too.
Over the course of a year, you could save up to £400 (average family of 4) on cleaning products and toiletries. Save time and money, and look after your appliances Limescale build up in an appliance can cause it to work less efficiently and wear out more quickly. The more expensive the appliance the more costly it is to repair and renew. Simple and easy to install A Kinetico Water Softener is non-electric so there’s no wiring required. Installation is simple and running costs low. Compact and quiet, it can fit neatly under your kitchen sink.
You can transform the water you drink too
With a Kinetico Drinking Water Filter you can also enjoy filtered water on tap. It can take out impurities like chlorine, lead and bacteria to provide a constant supply of filtered water. Better than jug filtered water, it’s also cheaper per litre than bottled water. ✶ AP

How Does Nature Impact Our Wellbeing? Research reveals that environments can increase or reduce our stress, which in turn impacts our bodies. What you are seeing, hearing, experiencing at any moment is changing not only your mood, but how you’re nervous, endocrine, and immune systems are working. The stress of an unpleasant environment can cause you to feel anxious, or sad, or helpless. This in turn elevates your blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tension and suppresses your immune system. A pleasing environment reverses that.
30
Nature heals Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. Research done in hospitals, offices, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety.
Nature restores One of the most intriguing areas of current research is the impact of nature on general wellbeing. Those interviewed said their mood improved after spending time outside, changing from depressed, stressed, and anxious to more calm and balanced. Too much time in front of screens is deadly “Nature deprivation,” a lack of time in the natural world, has been associated, unsurprisingly, with depression. In another interesting area, Andrea Taylor’s research on children with ADHD shows that time spent in nature increases their attention span later. Best wishes, David

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

Stokenchurch Dog Rescue My name is Buddy; I’m a Terrier Mix and about 7 years old I am a cheeky lad looking for an adult only home who can understand my quirks. My dog carers are very patient with me and give me the space I need, as I can be a little nervous initially of new surroundings and people. However, if you take your time, I will slowly come around. I love my squeaky ball, and this is usually a great way to start building a bond with me. I’ve been told that I’m a clever little chap, as I already know a lot of commands, but I would benefit from the stimulation that comes with extra training, as this would also
34
give me the opportunity to bond with my new owner. I’ve also been told that I may do well with some calming scent work as I have a great nose on me and I love to sniff – this would also keep my clever mind active! I will require a home with a good sized, fully enclosed garden with a 5-foot fence. Due to my reactivity towards people and dogs, I am required to wear a muzzle when out and I will also need to be kept on a long line when out walking through fields etc. I am looking for an active, but calm and quiet home with no children. In the right home, with experienced owners who
understand fearful/reactive dogs, I will make a wonderful companion. Can you offer me a loving and permanent new home? If you would like to make a monetary donation, the easy way to do this is by text message. To donate £10 text Bark10 to 70085. Thank you for your support.

Safe, Professional Ear Care
Between them, our team have removed wax from over ten thousand ears. So let them put their experience to good use, by solving your earwax problems. WHO ARE WE AND WHAT DO WE DO? We are an Audiologist led network of earwax removal clinics. The advantage of this is that if you feel that you have an ear wax blockage, but it turns out that there isn’t any, we can also provide hearing tests and give unbiased independent advice. If wax build up is causing a problem or is uncomfortable, it may need to be removed. Microsuction ear wax removal is a gentle and safe procedure. Earwax is natural and has an important function. It should not be routinely removed

PARENTING
Little Chef Don’t let your kids climb the walls with boredom this summer; instead get them in the kitchen with these six brilliantly simple and fun ideas. No-churn vegan ice cream Never again will you throw out overly ripe bananas once you’ve sampled this delectable frozen treat. Instead, they can be peeled and cut into twoinch chunks and stored in the freezer in a freezer bag (bananas must be frozen for at least six hours before making) and then blitzed in a blender to make a vegan dessert that is not unlike soft serve ice cream. Mug cakes The internet is overflowing with mug cake recipes, but this is a simple one that requires no flour and even less baking prowess. Whisk one egg with a dash of vanilla essence and combine
can be dotted with raisins, jewelled with cherries, made savoury by adding cheese or just left as they are.
in your mug of choice with one tablespoon of cooled, melted butter. Add three tablespoons each of sugar and cocoa powder (unsweetened) and a pinch of salt. Microwave for one to one-and-a-half minutes and then scoff with spoon. Pizzas Allowing for lots of creativity with little room for disaster, small hands will love spreading tomato puree over their pizza base and then adding the toppings of their choice. Grated cheddar, mozzarella, ham, pineapple, sliced peppers, chorizo, olives and mushrooms at the ready! Scones Believe it or not, scones are the benchmark of low maintenance baking because they require only basic ingredients, come together easily and can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways. A straightforward base of flour, butter and milk that requires very little mixing,

Ice cream sundaes There’s no celebration necessary to bring out the fancy, tall glasses ready to be filled with fresh fruit, different flavours of ice cream, whipped cream and every kind of sauce and topping you can fi nd in your cupboards. Best devoured, naturally, with long spoons that reach right to the bottom of the glass, scooping up every, last, drop. Yum. Stovetop macaroni cheese When it comes to melty, gooey, oozy macaroni cheese, who has the patience to put it into the oven to bake? Certainly not kids. Simply add a few tablespoons of flour to melted butter in a large pan to create a basic roux. Then add both milk and water slowly, mixing as you go. Stir in dried pasta (it doesn’t have to be macaroni), salt, garlic powder and any other seasonings of choice – e.g. cayenne pepper, paprika, mustard, nutmeg etc. – and heat to a simmer. Cook for 10 or so minutes more until pasta is cooked through, then add lots of grated cheese.

Cool for Cats (And Dogs) How to keep your four-legged friends healthy and happy in the heat. AN INSIDE JOB - While the temptation is to get our pets out of the house, they sleep for well over half the day meaning that desire to stretch their legs is probably less than you think. It’s also really important to make sure dogs have cool surfaces to walk on as our four-legged friends only sweat through their foot pads or by panting. A SHADY CHARACTER - When you do venture outside, shade is crucially important and a portable dog bowl is an absolute must.
Remember too, the sun will move throughout the day so keep a check on the shelter you’ve provided to ensure it’s actually doing its job properly. CHILL OUT - A casual chilledout stroll with your faithful friend is just about all they need in the summer months, and you should avoid tagging a dog alongside you while you go for a bike ride as they may quickly overheat. Also limit games of fetch or catch.
This will immediately bring body temperature back to a safe level. A LOT OF LOLLY - Finally, consider making your little loved one their very own dog ice lolly, using blended meat, carrots and perhaps an apple as well.
EVERYTHING’S GOING SWIMMINGLY - And of course if you find yourself near a lake or river, there’s nothing dogs like more then to take a dip in some cool water.

Risborough Area Community Bus Risborough Area Community Bus provides daily scheduled Hail & Ride services for all members of the community in and around Princes Risborough and outlying villages. Nearly 2000 passengers use our bus each month. We make the bus available for non-profit making groups when not on scheduled services and we also run outings each month to places of Interest. Our 30 trained, volunteer drivers and our Coordinator work tirelessly to fund and run the service. Drop off for passengers is in the High Street where passengers can connect to buses running to Aylesbury. Thame and High Wycombe.
Anyone can use our bus, young and old alike. The fare for most journeys is only £1.50 and most concessionary cards are accepted. Children aged 16 and under travel free.
We’re hoping to restart our daily scheduled services on 28 June in full. However, that will be contingent on the Government removing all legal restrictions on social distancing on 21 June. If they don’t, we will have to wait longer before restarting but in any event we look forward to seeing our passengers back on the bus as soon as possible.

GARDENING
Let’s Get Wild Turn your garden into a veritable paradise for the birds and the bees by creating a wildflower meadow. Simple, environmentally beneficial and stunningly beautiful. Not only is it easy to create your own little wildflower meadow, it’s also fast, meaning that any patch of land you have bare can be germinated in a matter of months. That means you could be gazing out over a carpet of poppies, cornflowers, daisies, cowslips and bluebells as summer draws to a close. Perennial flowers will flourish in uncultivated soil, whereas cornfield flowers will do better in richer earth. You can buy ready-mixed seeds which will be tailored to certain variables such as soil containing heavy clay, boggy land by the pond’s edge, or even seeds that are specifi cally combined to provide the maximum nourishment to bees – such pollinators include Sunflower,
Borage, Evening Primrose and Corn Marigold. Make sure you thoroughly weed the soil before scattering your seeds - you need 1g per square metre of pure wildfl ower seeds and 5g per square metre of grass and wildfl ower meadow seeds – and ensure the earth remains consistently moist thereafter. MUST-HAVE WILDFLOWERS FOR YOUR GARDEN Forget-me-not This lovely lilac biennial bloom not only adds a spray of colour to your lawn, but it also attracts various pollinators, and its leaves are eaten by the caterpillars of several moth species bringing an abundance of insect life to your garden. Hemp Agrimony This noble native perennial looks rather striking when grown amid other more colourful wildfl ower varieties. Preferring the shade, it grows tall and untamed and provides a delectable nectar for butterflies.
Ox-eye Daisies Tall and gracious, these white and yellow beauties are easy to grow – they thrive in the sun – though they can also overwhelm a plot if not kept in check. Cornflowers Cornflowers bring a touch of exotic elegance to your flowerbed. Surprisingly hardy, they flower from late spring into brilliant white fl owers with deep purple stamens that bees, unsurprisingly, find irresistible. Common Knapweed Though some may view it as a pest, this nonetheless brings its own rugged loveliness to your wildflower crop and also will provide food for birds if seed heads are left over winter. Honeysuckle With its vibrant white, pink and yellow petals and unusually long tendrils, one might be forgiven for thinking this a flower from another planet, but this fragrant bloom is as British and as iconic as they come. Foxgloves Bright, abundant and beautiful with its tubular purple fl owers, these are ideal for the back of your miniature flower meadow as they grow tall and regal attracting many a bumblebee.

YOUR LOCAL THEATRE COMPETITION
This Ointment will have you laughing from start to finish! • Why should Ron Corley MP, the Minister for the Environment, be searching the seaside bungalow of his ex-mistress Donna? • And why does his virtuous wife, Louise, turn up at the same place on the same day? • And what was a romantic doctor with a bunch of flowers doing in Sussex when his practice is in London? A Fly in the Ointment is a hilarious farce by Derek Benfield. It’s based on a series of mistaken assumptions and the action is fast and furious. Ron, having just finished his affair with Donna, visits her home, desperate to retrieve some incriminating
photographs. But Donna is reluctant to end the affair, and matters take a turn for the worse when Ron’s wife, Louise, arrives unexpectedly, and George Billing, a doctor, arrives wishing to declare his love for Louise. Add into the mix Brenda, a rather frustrated local policewoman, and Albert, a youthful pizza delivery boy who can spot an opportunity when he sees one, and the scene is set for side-splitting entertainment! A Fly in the Ointment is being performed at The Players Theatre, Thame, from Tuesday 7th September until Saturday 11th September. • Tickets are £8 (no concessions) Tuesday/ Wednesday, and £10 (£9
concessions) Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Book online at www.thameplayers.co.uk or from the Information Centre at Thame Town Hall (check website for opening times). This production will be live streamed so you can watch either in the theatre or at home. • Follow us on Twitter.com/ thametheatre, Facebook.com/ thametheatre and Instagram. com/thameplayers
Exclusive Competition For a chance to win complimentary tickets for a family of four to a Thame Players show, answer the following question:
How would you describe Brenda? Email your answer, along with your name and address, to Coralie at salesprv@live.co.uk by Friday August 6th.

BOOKS
Books to get stuck into this July Whether you fancy a modern romance or a fast-paced thriller, a study of sport or a delicious cake recipe, July’s book releases have you covered. Happy Cooking: Easy Uplifting Meals and Comforting Treats by Candice Brown (July 1) “The kitchen has always been my happy place - it’s the only place I feel completely at ease,” explains The Great British Bake Off champ Candice Brown on her delectable new cookbook. Including everyday favourites such as chicken nuggets, cinnamon pastry twists and brown butter macaroni cheese along with ‘therapy’ recipes which use the
meditative qualities of baking and cooking to ease an anxious mind, this is the kind of cookbook you’ll return to again and again when you’re craving comfort.
Alice Armitage, a methodical and tireless game of cat and mouse begins as she races to find the truth from within the wards, for she herself is a patient.
The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller (July 8) Having worked for almost a decade as Senior Vice President and Head of Drama Series at HBO – developing and overseeing such shows as The Sopranos, Six Feet Under and The Wire – it should come as no surprise that Miranda Cowley Heller’s debut novel is an impressive work of captivating storytelling.
Relentless: Secrets of the Sporting Elite by Alistair Brownlee (July 8) Whether you’re training for your fi rst half marathon or are simply a devoted sports fan, double Olympic champion and one half of Britain’s fi nest triathlon duo, Alistair Brownlee’s ambitious new book seeks to answer one of sport’s greatest questions: what does take it take to become a champion? From Ian Poulter to Ian Botham, this is an extensive and thorough exploration of an athletes’ inner workings.
Set over 24 hours and across 50 years, The Paper Palace is as elegant and intoxicating as the scorching August day in Cape Cod on which it is set. Rabbit Hole by Mark Billingham (July 8) From The Sunday Times bestselling author of the Tom Thorne crime series comes this complex and compelling new thriller, set in the sinister corridors and wards of a psychiatric hospital where there is a killer on the loose. For DC

The Lock In by Phoebe Luckhurst (July 22) Whilst nursing the hangover from hell, Ellen stumbles downstairs to discover the kitchen slowly filling with water. Panic quickly sets in, and the three flatmates find themselves in the attic desperately attempting to switch off the water supply. But when Ben, Alexa’s Hinge date from the night before, walks in, the door slams, the handle breaks, and all four of them are trapped…

It's time to review your
NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN The last plan was created in 2013 and we are now starting the process of updating it.
The impact of Thame & Moreton's Neighbourhood Plan Since 2013, your Neighbourhood Plan has used the Community’s vision to guide the development of house extensions, new housing sites, employment land and open space. Thanks in part to your Plan, the Town’s residents can still visit a successful High Street or enjoy the many sporting facilities that have been protected, updated, or replaced over the last 8 years. But many local people cannot afford to rent or buy a home where they have their roots. The Town needs infrastructure, like more community meeting space, improved health facilities, and better means of getting around. It is time to look at the Plan again and work out how we can meet these and other needs while continuing to improve everyone’s lives through the Thame Green Living Plan. To get involved in the process send an email titled: 'Our Neighbourhood Plan' to consultations@thametowncouncil.gov.uk www.chilternviewmagazines.co.uk 64 up to date with developments sign up to To stay our newsletter at https://www.thametowncouncil.gov.uk/news/newsletter-sign-up/
