Editors’ Letter Welcome to the festive November/ December issue of Chiltern View Risborough magazine. It’s never easy writing this editorial at the beginning of October, especially this year because it’s only just started to feel like autumn, due to very warm and sunny September days. However, this is our November/December issue and there’s lots to look forward to such as frosty mornings, leaves turning gorgeous reds and oranges, Bonfire Night and Christmas. We are all hoping for cosy fires, steaming hot chocolate, woolly scarves, hats and gloves to keep out the cold. Time

to spend snuggled up indoors and reading a good book or perhaps our magazine? A couple of dates for your diary; The Xmas Lights Switch on is on Friday December 2nd (see page 22) and the Tree of Light dedication ceremony on Sunday 27th November (see page 46). Each season brings its own magic but we do like the comforting side that winter brings. Right, time for some nice hot soup for lunch and on with the next issue. We always have to be a bit ahead of ourselves here at Chiltern View headquarters. Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year.

Until the next time...

Dealing with life’s second arrows

Of all the things I teach on any mindfulness course, the parable of the two arrows seems to resonate most strongly with people. If you were hit by an arrow, there is considerable localised pain which if properly treated will, in time, go away. The second arrow is longer lasting and represents the emotional response to the first arrow. The endless questioning: Why me? What if I’m injured and can’t work? I’ll not be able to pay the mortgage. What if I get an infection? If only I hadn’t been there… What if? What if? The irony is, while we’ve all suffered ‘first arrows’ in life (difficulties, heartache, obstructions), the pain of the second arrow lasts much longer than the first arrow and we fire it at ourselves. It’s how we react to events in life that perpetuates our suffering. The good news is, of course, that we can choose how we create the story around what is happening in our lives. For example, my growing children want to spend less time with me. Do I tell myself that I’m an awful mother who they don’t like, or a successful mother who has raised confident children ready to be independent adults? This ‘multiple choice’ is presented constantly to us. For example, the friend who walks past without acknowledging us: have we upset them (cue anxiety), are they worried about something (cue concern) or are they not wearing their glasses (bless!) Having the reflective space to explore how we perceive things and how we can create a different story is the stuff of psychotherapy or counselling. By talking through life events and our reactions, we become aware of our values, judgements, beliefs and their impact on others and ourselves. Often we realise that while we extend kindness and understanding towards others, but not ourselves. All too often we judge ourselves harshly. Of course, there are those first arrows which can’t be perceived in a different way, that are just 6

cruel and painful. Having somebody independent to talk to can be helpful at these difficult times. Learning Mindfulness helps us examine how we respond to life, perhaps noticing where we carry a stress reaction in our body, for example. It invites attention to the here and now, not mulling over yesterday or projecting about tomorrow. Quite often, ‘now’ is actually alright, it’s manageable, and even, maybe, just perhaps, it can be quite lovely.

Mince Pies It’s hard to beat homemade Mince Pies in the run up to Christmas and here at What’s Cooking there is a feeling of excitement and anticipation at the number of these little beauties we have to make each year. As always the devil is in the detail and the first place to start is some excellent homemade sweet pastry. Of course, homemade mincemeat is just as important but the recipe for this is a closely guarded secret. If you want your mince pies to be as good as ours, why not come into What’s Cooking and buy a jar!

Makes 12 Ingredients:

1 x large Jar of mincemeat (about 900gr) 330gr plain flour 100gr icing sugar Grated zest of half a lemon ¼ teaspoon salt 180gr cold unsalted butter 1 free range egg yolk 3 tablespoons cold water Beaten egg to glaze

Method: To make the pastry, put the flour, icing sugar, lemon zest and salt in a bowl and add the butter. Rub it in with your fingers or, more easily use a mixer with the beater attachment. Mix until you get a coarse breadcrumb consistency. Add the egg yolk and water and mix just until the dough comes together. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead for a few 8

seconds, shaping into a flattish disc. Wrap in clingfilm and chill.

as the lids. Fill the cases with mincemeat and pop the lids on, sealing with a little Pre-heat your oven to 190C. Roll out the pastry until 2-3mm of the beaten egg. Glaze the top with the rest of the thick. Using a pastry cutter beaten egg and cook for of the right size, cut twelve 20 minutes or until golden circles and line your tin. We use a muffin tin for extra deep brown. Leave to cool, then remove from the tin mince pies. Now cut twelve slightly smaller circles to use and dust with icing sugar.

Christmas and the festive season is just around the corner and what better way to get into the festive mood than a trip to a Christmas Market or visiting Santa in Lapland. A vast array of European cities offer a huge expanse of Christmas stalls in market squares selling their wares – whether that be local dining specialities like stollen cake with hot gluhwein, bratwurst, waffles and wine or the fantastic array of local hand-made gifts from local craftsmen. In Cologne, the market is open from 21 November until 23 December – the magic of Christmas will be felt throughout the festively decorated city. The larger Christmas Markets are held in downtown Cologne their booths near the cathedral are arranged around a huge Christmas tree, next to which is a stage for a diverse programme of live music performances.

Lapland is where Christmas dreams come true. It’s not just a magical winter wonderland deep inside the Arctic circle and can be visited in just one day. It’s also where you’ll find Santa Claus and his trusty team of elves whose mission is to spread happiness and fun! Flights for Christmas Markets and Lapland are available from your local airport; you can select how long you would like to stay there for with options to add on a few extra days to explore nearby attractions. For more information about breaks to enjoy this year’s Christmas festivities call us at Spear Travels in Thame – your local independent travel agent.

Wooden chalets of Lille’s month long Christmas Market are filled with decorations and festive food, as well as arts and crafts. A Ferris Wheel turns on the main square, which is transformed into a Winter Wonderland, dominated by an 18-meter high Christmas tree.

Health Matters

Ouch! What to do when you sustain an injury.

OSTEOPATH DAVID GRAY

What can you do? Sprains & strains to muscles & joints happen to all of us. Prompt action can help your body to heal faster & may prevent further injury or prolonged pain. Strained or ‘pulled’ muscles often happen when we over exert muscles, train without properly warming up, or try to go beyond a joint’s natural flexibility. Sometimes we feel the pain straight away, however some injuries might not cause pain until later on.

Remember RICE (relative rest, ice, compression & elevation). Relative rest: The first thing to do if you feel pain is to reduce the offending activity. It can be normal to feel a little sore after exercise for a day or two, but if it is more than this, pushing through the pain is rarely beneficial. However, movement stimulates the healing process so stay as mobile as you comfortably can. This is relevant for back pain as gentle exercise, such as walking, can help. Ice: Cooling the area using an ice pack can help reduce swelling & pain. Compression: Gently applying a compression dressing may

help to temporarily support the injured joint & reduce swelling. Elevation: If the injury is in the lower limb (knee or ankle), elevating the area assists draining fluids that might accumulate around the area, causing swelling. If the pain or swelling fails to improve within a week, considering treatment may be beneficial to; assess the injury, provide some manual therapy, taping, dry needling & rehabilitation exercises, to help you get better faster. To learn practically about how your lifestyle may be affecting your health, inside and out, book a consultation with your Osteopath today.

Children & Babies: Cranial Osteopathy is a gentle & non-invasive treatment.

Princes Risborough is getting ready to enjoy a festive evening with their annual lights switch on planned for Friday 2nd December and meet Father Christmas. Aylesbury Waterside Theatre’s larger-than-life dame, Widow Twankey (played by the glamorous La Voix – who you may be familiar with from Britain’s Got Talent ), is being set free from the world of panto and is taking to the Princes Risborough stage to turn on this year’s Christmas lights (oh yes she is!) La Voix said ‘I simply cannot wait to meet all the darlings of Risborough! I intend to set off Christmas in style with more glamour, class and sophistication than you can shake a brussell sprout at! Panto magic is going to take over 22

the town, and as it’s Christmas I may even indulge the Christmassy bunch to a sassy song or two! Starting from 5.30pm in the High Street, music and fun for all so make sure you arrive early and get your place to see the lady who puts the ‘o!’ in Panto! If you can’t make the event be sure to pop along to Old Peking this Christmas to see her in all her glory in Aladdin alongside Michelle Collins, Andy Collins and Towie’s stunning Jasmin Walia from Fri 9 – Sat 31 Dec.

The key to planting if space is limited is to make sure you get your tree on the right rootstock. Fruit trees are grown on a range of rootstocks in order to control the rate of growth. Apples, for instance vary from M27 (very dwarf - around 2 metres high) right through M9, M26, M116, MM111 up to the biggest, M25 which will grow to in excess of 5 metres. So obviously, if you own a pocket-handkerchief garden, make sure you go for M27. Likewise, Pears, Plums, Cherries etc. are all grown on a variety of rootstocks. Do make sure you do a little research before purchasing. If in doubt, pop in and one of us will gladly talk you through the options. If you are blessed with a bigger plot and already have sufficient apples, why not take a look at some other interesting fruit trees. Hazel and Cobnuts, Mirabelles and Mulberries, Quinces and Medlars - these are all superb options, and will give you a varied and nutritious harvest of fruits and nuts. There is some management involved to keep your fruit trees in tip top condition. As in dealing with all pests and diseases prevention is far better than cure. Spraying with a fungicide as soon as the trees come into leaf prior to blossom time will stop any mildew and scab from taking hold. These fungal diseases only affect apples and pears, and are not very serious diseases, but to keep your fruit looking and tasting tip top they are best addressed. Traditionally, pruning of fruit trees is a job for the winter - not always the case in fact, as summer pruning does have its benefits. Winter pruning is best to re-shape a tree and generally ridding it of old or dead branches etc. 24

One major point about pruning is that it is far better to prune a little and often rather than taking drastic action every decade or so. A continual renewal of young replacement branches is possible and better for regular fruiting potential each year. Air and light are important, the former to reduce disease and the latter to ripen the fruit for the best flavour and keeping quality. As a rule, Apple & Pear can be pruned anytime and hard, Cherries, Damsons, Gages and Plums - summer only and lightly, Medlars & Quines, anytime and lightly. We have a great range of fruit trees and soft fruit bushes in stock at the moment, and now is the time to plant. Happy gardening, see you soon,

Blue Cross | Animal Charity Can you rehome a pet?

Sox, four-years-old, domestic shorthair Hello, I’m looking for a new family as I was unhappy living with young children in my last home. I’m an outgoing, chatty and sociable lady who loves a fuss and being brushed. I also like to do my own thing and am quite happy

entertaining myself with my toys or curling up somewhere warm for a cat nap. I didn’t go outside in my last home, but I’d love the chance to explore the great outdoors so it would be really good to have access to a garden. Foxglove, three-monthsold, English spot My name is Foxglove and I’m looking for a home with one of my three sisters. Us rabbits are sociable creatures so it’s really important I share my new home with another bunny otherwise we can get very lonely.

I enjoy nibbling on hay and am also partial to yummy vegetables and herbs. I love to run around in my big enclosure where we have lots of ramps, tunnels and toys to play with. To rehome Sox or Foxglove, contact Blue Cross in Lewknor on 0300 77 1500 or email lewknor@ bluecross.org.uk.

Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black is making a haunting appearance Tue 29 Nov – Sat 3 Dec, and promises to be a spine-chiller to remember as this highly-acclaimed ghost story comes dramatically to life, live on stage. Renowned worldwide having been seen by 7 million theatregoers, this gripping production is brilliantly atmospheric, masterful of the power of illusion, and a

The Gift of a Good Book

Struggling to find the perfect book to give as a gift? Or wondering what to add to your own wish list? Maybe we can help… The Hidden People Alison Littlewood

Crime, fantasy and historical fiction are melded together in The Hidden People. Albie Mirralls is every bit the sensible, upstanding gentleman that Victorian society wants him to be. When his cousin, Lizzie, is burnt as a changeling, Albie travels from London to her village to see justice done. But when Albie’s own wife seems so completely changed, he finds himself questioning whether there could be some truth to the rumours about his cousin. The perfect book for curling up with on a winter’s night.

The British Table Colman Andrews and Christopher Hirsheimer

Giuseppe Catozzella

Inspired by a tragic true story, Little Warrior tells the story of Samia Omar. Growing up in war-torn Somalia, life is hard, and dangerous. But Samia has big dreams – she wants to follow in Mo Farah’s footsteps and compete in the Olympics. As life grows increasingly hard for women, Samia refuses to be cowed into submission. There are few options for Samia but to put her life into the hands of traffickers, in the hope of escaping to a better place. A heartbreaking read that will stay with you long past you’ve finished the last page.

The Girl Who Saved Christmas Matt Haig

For the foodie in your life, you might want to consider this recently released tome. Featuring around 125 recipes, from the traditional to the modern, there’s plenty to tempt most taste-buds. Recipes range from longforgotten traditional fare, to regional specialities and contemporary classics. The focus is on warming comfort food. Think Braised Brisket followed by Whisky-SoakedRaisin and Orange Marmalade. 38

Little Warrior

Magic is starting to fade in Victorian England, and Amelia might be the only one who can save the day. (Father Christmas being a bit tied up with reindeers falling from the sky, angry trolls and other mishaps.) While it’s the sequel to the 2015 children’s bestseller A Boy Called Christmas, it stands up perfectly well on its own. An ideal gift for children aged 7 and up, this is a really enjoyable read. So much

so that you may well find yourself borrowing it back.

A Christmas Kiss Vicky Pattison

24 year old Amber dreams of designing her own fashion line. But after a year of working as a general dogsbody for the Queen of Fashion, Diana Grant, that dream is looking increasingly unachievable. So when an opening comes up working with a leading fashion house, Amber jumps at the opportunity. With a new job and a new love, Amber’s life is looking up, but is she in danger of getting a bit too caught up in the glitzy world of fashion? Warm and funny, this is a great romantic comedy to enjoy over a glass of prosecco.

Vet’s Corner

Lungworm (Angiostrongylus vasorum) is a type of parasitic worm that can infect dogs. The worms are carried by slugs and snails which are eaten (on purpose or by accident) by a dog. The worm then travels through the gut wall into the bloodstream and lives in the heart and the major blood vessels supplying the lungs. Lungworm infection can display a wide variety of non-specific symptoms, including weight loss; breathing difficulties; coughing (sometimes bringing

up blood); lethargy; clotting disorders/persistent bleeding; general illness; poor appetite; vomiting and diarrhoea; and if left untreated can be fatal. As signs are non-specific diagnosis can be challenging but often will include diagnostic imaging of the chest along with faecal and/or blood samples. Although this area is generally considered to have a low risk for lungworm infection, cases do occur. Treatment of clinical disease is normally possible but prevention is better than cure. Lungworm infection can be treated with either a spot-on treatment or a tablet, administered every

four weeks, please discuss with your vet for more details. If concerned about your animals, please call Sprinz & Nash. Vets are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Dr Aurelia Verdin BVetMed MRCVS

Walks in the Chilterns:

Box Wood Walks near Princes Risborough View of Ellesborough Church from Chilterns

Walk lengths: circular routes of 3, 3.5 and 6 miles Starting point: Great Kimble or Pulpit Hill near Monks Risborough Discover one of the Chilterns’ best natural gems on these circular walks: swathes of wild box trees and bushes in the country’s largest native box woodland. There are also great views, an ancient hillfort, medieval churches, beechwoods and plenty more to enjoy. There is a choice of walk lengths, depending on how far you want to go and how much time you have. The routes follow waymarked footpaths and bridleways and there are a couple of pubs en route. The box woods on these walks are evidence of how important box trees were in the Chilterns a few centuries ago. Box wood is very dense, because the trees grow so slowly, and in the past it was used widely to make practical items like combs, printing blocks, rulers and lace-making bobbins. Many early woodwind instruments were made out of box. The chalky soils of the Chilterns are ideal for box and people made a living by growing trees and selling the timber. The twisting old trees you can see today, often 6-10m tall, are left over from all this activity.

Much more ancient history is visible at the top of Pulpit Hill where large mounds and ditches are the remains of a 2,500 year old Iron Age hillfort. Away from the woods you can stroll across open grassy hillsides, covered in wildflowers in summer, and take in the far-reaching views across the Vale of Aylesbury.

Walkers near Great Kimble Warren, Photo by Chris Smith

On these walks you can visit the villages of Ellesborough and Little Kimble, both with attractive parish churches, and follow a section of the Ridgeway National Trail. You’ll need stout footwear as some of the paths can be muddy. There are some steep ascents and descents and several stiles. The Box Wood Walks are part of the Chilterns Country series of walking routes produced by the Chilterns Conservation Board. You can download a free leaflet for it which has a route map and detailed route directions, plus lots of other useful information. Download it from www. chilternsaonb.org/walk-ridesleaflets-2 It’s also part of the free Handheld Tours app. Box Woods Walk leaflet cover

The Ear Bud Epidemic - Little Ear Buds - Big Trouble

What is an ‘ear bud’ - well you don’t have to look very far to see one - they are everywhere. It is becoming a rare occasion to see a teenage that isn’t ‘plugged in’. Ear buds,

ear phones, headphones, Blue-tooth® devices—they're everywhere today—plugged into mobile phones, iPods®, MP3 players, computers, tablets, and more. They're used by kids, teens and adults of all ages; and provide private listening in schools, gyms, at home, in the workplace—just about everywhere people spend time. For decades, scientists have looked, almost exclusively, at the loss of hair cells as an indicator of hearing loss. But a study released by the Acoustical Society of America reports a "hidden hearing loss”.

Researchers at Harvard Medical Ear-bud ear phones deliver School's Eaton Peabody Laborato- stronger, more damaging ry learned you can lose up to 90 waves straight to the cochlea percent of your cochlear nerve fibres — without losing the ability — even at lower volumes. to detect a tone in quiet. But once And without a known treatbackground noise is introduced, ment for cochlear nerve hearing ability drops dramatically. damage, researchers strongSo, hair cells may be completely ly recommend exercising intact but hearing still lost if the caution." nerve synapses are damaged. The problem is, these little portable speakers are causing hearing damage at an alarming rate. What makes this even more disturbing is that hearing loss is not reversible. And, the longer it goes unrecognised and untreated, the faster it progresses. Just how do ear buds damage hearing? The ear buds commonly used with iPod® or MP3 players sit within the ear canal. This puts the audio signal closer to your inner ear the equivalent of boosting it by as much as nine decibels. Nine decibels is substantial, when you consider that anything over 85 decibels can cause hearing damage. This coupled with the length of time they are worn without interuption is causing significant hearing problems for a huge group of the population and from a very young age. Here are some suggestions to protect your hearing when enjoying a personal listening device:- You can listen to music at a softer volume, for a longer time. Follow the 60/60 rule when wearing ear buds. Keep your volume below 60%, and limit your listening to under 60 minutes per day. Wear ear-muff style headphones ideally with noise cancelling ability. Wear custom-made ear buds so the tighter fit allows you to listen at lower volumes. Consider bone-conduction hearing devices to minimise direct exposure and to enjoy keeping the ears clear and open and much safer when walking around as you can still hear traffic etc.

At Aston Hearing we believe it is our job to educate children and teenagers. Most have no idea that hearing doesn't come back once it's gone. We offer a special hearing screening for children and young Call 01494 733840 or email kate@astonhearing.co.uk for more adults that will help us to ascertain potential future problems directly related to over exposure to noise.

Chinnor successfully campaigned to keep the library open although with a reduced number of staff who are assisted by a team of local volunteers. A “Friends of Chinnor Library” group has emerged since then which seeks to offer practical support to promote the role of the Library Service in Chinnor by initiating a programme of activities, recruiting and maintaining volunteer support, and fundraising where appropriate. It is hoped that County will give our library a “facelift” with new decor and fittings in the not too distant future. In the meantime, the Friends Group would like to enlist the help of the village once more in raising funds for new books and materials for the children’s section. We have started a “100 Club” which costs one pound per month to receive a lucky number and three prize-winning lucky numbers will be drawn every three months. If you would like to join and be in with a chance of winning up to £100 in each draw, please pop along to the library for a form, or contact Jan Miller at jmillaz@ googlemail.com for more information.
