Editors’ Letter Welcome to the July/August issue of Chiltern View Thame area magazine. We are delighted to be able to promote one of Thame’s big, summer events; The Towersey Festival takes place between the 28th and the 31st August. We would like to thank them for the front cover which we felt epitomised a true Festival feeling of relaxed, warm, summer fun days out. Please see pages 14 and 15 for more details. A fabulous event right on our doorstep with something musical and entertaining to suit all ages. Don’t forget to join in with our competition to win theatre tickets with the amazing Thame Players (p 32). If you are like us you possibly don’t enter competitions, because you are sure that thousands of people will have entered and you will stand no chance!! We do NOT get thousands, or even hundreds of entries, so all those who do enter have a very good chance of winning. Why not give it a go this time? Good luck. We are also pleased to be promoting The Princes Risborough Festival which starts on July 4th with an exciting Casino Night (p 45). There is a full week of events to get involved in, so well worth popping along. As if that were not enough our Community pages are bursting with truly local events, clubs and societies with something for everyone. Enjoy the summer! Until the next time

Admit Defeat Call a Professional Not so many years ago, women gave up work as soon as they were married. Even before they had children, their duty was to run the house, and it was a full time job. With the advent of labour saving devices such as the vacuum cleaner, washing machine, tumble dryer and electric iron, much of the work could be carried out in a fraction of the time. In theory then, everything in our homes is spick and span, because we have so much more time. In practice it’s quite a different story.

For women particularly, few have the luxury of not working at all just because they are married. Even if children come along, once they start school Mum will be looking for something part time. Furthermore, outside of working hours, both men and women want to spend their spare time doing something interesting and enjoyable, spending time with each other and with their family.

Household and garden chores rarely appear on the ‘let’s have fun’ list. So the little jobs pile up. You notice it, it nags away at you, you are going to get round to doing it...but you don’t. It’s time to call The Professionals. Gardening Gardening is a really popular pastime, but it’s the creative stuff that people really enjoy, planting flowers, a bit of deadheading, and standing back and admiring their handiwork. Unfortunately most of the other less interesting garden jobs don’t just sit there waiting to be done; they grow while you are procrastinating about it. Weeds, lawn mowing, leaf clearing, patio washing - eventually they become a bank holiday weekend spoiler, with the back-breaking effects being felt for the whole of the week after.

The Professionals: If you’ve let it get a bit out of hand, it’s going to cost you a bit to bring your garden up to scratch. But if you keep your (younger and fitter) professional coming in every few weeks, it’ll be kept under control. The trick with this is to set up a regular arrangement – even the smallest garden will have work needed every month so just look on it as a bill like any other. Summary If you recognise any of these areas as jobs you have been putting off, the worst thing you can do now is to turn the page of this magazine without having acted. Free your mind of the guilt about outstanding chores – even making the call will make you feel better! By Alison Runham www.alison.runham.co.uk www.chilterndirectories.co.uk

Stornoway
After celebrating 50 years in style last year, Towersey Festival returns with another unbeatable line-up of entertainment this August Bank Holiday. Headlining the four-day festival (Friday 28 to Monday 31 August) are Joan Armatrading, Bellowhead and Stornoway. Currently in the middle of a lengthy sell-out solo world tour, singer-songwriter Joan’s many hits include Willow, Down To Zero, My Myself I and the enduring Love And Affection. Though no strangers to Towersey, folk big band Bellowhead will be making one of their last major appearances at the festival before their Farewell Tour in the autumn. Named one of the UK’s best live acts by DJs Simon Mayo and Chris Evans, the rowdy 11-piece will be joined by Oxfordshire’s very own Stornoway, whose acclaimed new album, Bonxie, combines baroque indie folk pop with birdsong. Also on the bill are Sally Barker, whose moving performance on BBC One’s The Voice moved Tom Jones to tears, Show Of Hands, Scottish collective Treacherous Orchestra,

Aussies The Spooky Men’s Chorale, hotly tipped Keston Cobblers’ Club, and dozens of award-winners, including The Askew Sisters (winner of Spiral Earth’s Trad Folk Award 2015), Gaelic Singer Of The Year Mischa Macpherson, and Rob Heron And The Tea Pad Orchestra (The Americana Music Association’s UK Americana Band 2015). With the move to Thame Showground, organisers are making several improvements, including better site access and many new features. But they’ve also promised to retain all the elements visitors love about the festival, including the hugely popular Children’s Festival and Shooting Roots, an extensive workshop programme (from morning yoga to singing), exciting theatre and circus acts, and a range of top craft and gift stalls. You can also enjoy some great gourmet street food, from noodles and nachos to chips and cakes, while the bars will

be stocking a range of artisan beers and ciders from the best regional independent breweries. The Showground Bar also features a varied four-day music programme, courtesy of Thame’s very own First Thursday Music Club.

Vet’s Corner
Now that the warm weather is here, long dog walks and holidays beckon. It can be very easy to forget about the dog in the back of the car when stopping on the way back from a walk to pop into the shops, or when stopping to refuel on a longer drive. Sometimes these short stops can inadvertently turn into longer stops. In hot weather, even when parked in the shade, cars heat up incredibly quickly.
www.chilterndirectories.co.uk
Opening just one window a small amount is not sufficient to negate this heating effect. In very hot conditions, even having windows fully open may not be sufficient. Dogs are not able to lose heat as well as we can due to their thick coats, they can only lose heat by panting, which is very inefficient, and a small amount by sweating from their pads. Signs of heatstroke include vigorous panting; dark red, dry/tacky gums, collapse and unconsciousness. Prompt veterinary treatment is essential but unfortunately many dogs will not survive
this condition and in others it can cause long term damage to organs. 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

Benjamin Disraeli Famous People of the Chilterns:
Benjamin Disraeli was one of the most famous politicians of the 19th century, rising to become Chancellor of the Exchequer three times and Prime Minister twice. To help his climb up the greasy pole he acquired a country seat in the Chilterns, at Hughenden Manor, and this became his refuge from the stress and turmoil of political life. As a young man Disraeli had lived with his family at Bradenham Manor, just up the road from High Wycombe. In 1832 he stood (unsuccessfully) as a Radical candidate for High Wycombe, addressing the voters from the portico of the Red Lion hotel. He finally became Conservative MP for Maidstone, in 1837. In 1839 he married the slightly eccentric Mary Anne Wyndham Lewis, a rich widow twelve years his senior. It became a love match. He called her “the soul of my existence”; she repaid him with complete devotion and the settlement of his ever-pressing debts. In 1848, as MP for Buckinghamshire, he borrowed enough money to purchase Hughenden Manor. In 1876 Queen Victoria created him 1st Earl of Beaconsfield and his country credentials were complete. Hughenden Manor
Supplied by John Morris
PAGE 20
Both Disraeli and Mary Anne loved Hughenden and, driven by her energy, they re-modelled Benjamin the house and Disraeli grounds. “I have a passion for books and trees,” he wrote. “I like to look at them. When I come down to Hughenden I pass the first week in sauntering about my park and examining all the trees, then I saunter in the library, and survey the books.” Now owned by the National Trust, every corner of Hughenden reflects some aspect of Disraeli’s life here. On this terrace he would walk amongst his peacocks and lay out Mary Anne’s pearls to warm in the morning sun. The dining room has the chair designed for his hoped-for victory in the Wycombe election. The stairs are hung with portraits of friends and allies from his “Gallery of Affection”. The Library is where his coffin lay, decked with primroses accompanied by a hand-written note from Queen Victoria. Disraeli is buried in the churchyard near the gates of Hughenden Manor. Commissioned by Queen Victoria, his memorial inside the church reads: ‘Kings love him that speaketh right.’ You can visit the house and gardens at Hughenden Manor and there are also some lovely walks through the woods on the estate: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/hughenden/ This is one of 32 profiles of colourful and talented people from this area which can be found in the full colour booklet Famous People of the Chilterns, published by the Chilterns Conservation Board. You can purchase copies for only £4.99 plus p&p from www.chilternsaonb.org/shop The Chilterns Conservation Board is the public body charged with protecting and promoting the nationally-important Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

More from the Thame Players Theatre this summer The Taming of the Shrew – Tues 7th July to Sat 11th July at 7.45 pm Marriage is a constant theme of interest for Shakespeare. This is his good-humoured take on how two strong-minded feisty characters meet, clash and finally resolve into a loving relationship. The sub-plot involves passionate rival suitors, crafty servants who impersonate their masters and confusion all round. This is Shakespeare without tears; a boisterous comedy for all to enjoy and which inspired Cole Porter’s musical ‘Kiss Me, Kate’. Ticket prices £9 with £8 concessions. Raising Agents Saturday 1st August at 7.45pm This year is the centenary of the WI and the famous Mikron Theatre Company are doing a national tour with a play called Raising Agents, which is all about the WI. Bunnington WI is a bit down-at-heel. Dwindling membership means they can barely afford the hall, let alone a decent speaker. So when a PR guru becomes a member, the women are glad of new blood - initially. The milk of WI kindness begins to sour when she re-brands them the Bunnington Bunnies. They’re hopping. With stakes higher than a five tiered cake stand, a battle ensues for the very soul of Bunnington, perhaps the WI itself!
On the threshold of one century into the next, this tale of hobbyists and lobbyists asks how much we should know our past or how much we should let go of it. Above all else, like the WI itself, Raising Agents is a story of friendship. Tickets prices are £12. For members of the WI there is a £2 discount. You should check with your WI group how to get this discount. Journey’s End 8th – 12th September 2015 at 7.45pm Gentlemen, there was a call to Arms: date March 1918, a dugout, British Trenches, St. Quentin, France. The British Army have by this part of the War run out of men so every able bodied man was asked to stand up and be counted. The Country was desperate as if we didn’t fill the ranks we would have to ask the Americans This play takes place in the trenches in the war and although a very serious situation there is humour throughout and brilliant pyrotechnics. Tickets £9 and £8 concessions. Tickets for all shows are available from Spear Travels, telephone 01844 217228 or online from www.thameplayers.co.uk
Competition Time!
For a chance to win tickets to see a Thame Players Productions choose the right answer to the following question.
Where does the action of the play Journey’s End take place? 1. The Bunnington village hall 2. In the trenches during WW1 3. In Market Square in Thame Email your answer to: Steph at thameview@live.co.uk. Entries by email by Friday 21st August.

Lavender
If there is one family of plants that really do epitomise the English summer garden it is Lavender. An evergreen, easy to grow highly aromatic plant that encourages butterflies and bees, Lavender really does tick all the boxes. A reliable winner in either containers or the soil, the key to success is to provide a well-drained, gritty, free-draining base when planting. If your soil is a tad heavy, add some horticultural grit prior to planting - if you are using a container go for a soil based John Innes Number 3 compost. The two most popular varieties are Hidcote and Munstead. Both are compact reliable cultivars that are particularly successful when used as hedging plants, and grow to around 60cm high. Another traditional variety is Stoechas. This is a French Lavender, an early blooming choice that will fill your garden with a rich scent. One of my favourites is Papillon, with its fine strongly aromatic grey/green leaves, the dark purple flowers have long bracts at the top of the flower heads. Planted in a group, this variety really does look outstanding. www.chilterndirectories.co.uk
Other reliable choices are Dutch, Vera,Sawyers, Lady and Tiara. The varieties above are fully hardy and will comfortably cope with a Princes Risborough winter, even the snow and frost of a severe winter. There are however, a number of Lavenders that are half hardy at best. These tend to be particularly showy and scented. But, to get the best of such selections as Pinnata, Sky and Christiana, it is advised to grow them in containers. They are more than happy outside from May to October, but will need bringing in to a frost free environment to survive the winter . Lavender really does need good regular pruning to get the best from the plant. A lot of gardeners will happily plant their varieties out and see them flower away during the
first season, then leave them to their own devices. This is a mistake, as without pruning Lavender will become very woody and lose all its energy. The obvious solution to this problem is to cut the plant hard back to encourage new growth - but this is wrong. Lavender will not come again from this kind of treatment. The answer is to prune a little and often. Let the plant flower in midsummer, then once the flowers fade, trim the plant back leaving neat compact foliage. Once the worst of the winter weather has gone, around April time, give Lavender another trim. If you do this, your plants will continue to give you flowers and fragrance for years to come. Happy gardening!

E-mail: maryleverframing@gmail.com Raising Agents - 100 years of the Women’s Institute Saturday 1st August at 7.45pm A play by the acclaimed Mikron Theatre Company about life in the WI, produced to celebrate the centenary of the WI this year. Bunnington WI is a bit down-at-heel. Dwindling membership means they can barely afford the hall, let alone a decent speaker. So when a PR guru becomes a member, the women are glad of new blood. The milk of WI kindness begins to sour when she re-brands them the Bunnington Bunnies. They’re hopping. With stakes higher than a five tiered cake stand, a battle ensues for the very soul of Bunnington, perhaps the WI itself! Tickets: £12 Tickets online from www.thameplayers.co.uk (10% booking fee applies) or Spear Travels, Greyhound Walk, Thame 01844 217228 The Winner of the May / June competition is Phillippa Forster.
