Editors’ Letter Welcome to the June issue of Village View magazine. As I write this the sun has come out and we are all enjoying a taste of Summer. We do hope you are all enjoying our ‘Local Days Out’ articles and we are continuing the theme this month with an article about West Wycombe Park and gardens, kindly contributed by the National Trust. If you are visiting the park or house why not explore the rest of West Wycombe, particularly West Wycombe Village Store for ice creams, post cards and the best selection of greetings cards in the area ( see advert on P 39). Why not let us know here at Chiltern Directories if you have a had a great local day out that you would like to share with others (salessvv@live.co.uk). There are many fetes and other events in the local area during June so why not check out our community section on Pages 58-60 to see what is being organised near to you. Until next time…

Recipe
Guacamole The simple avocado is receiving lots of attention from researchers examining inflammatory health problems such as arthritis. Packed full of anti-inflammatories, antioxidants an monounsaturated fats, Omega 3, carotenoids and an array of other nutrients, it also ticks the box for promoting a healthy cardiovascular system. Healthy, quick, simple to prepare and delicious! Try this recipe of Mexican origin guacamole.
Allow 1/2 an avocado per person andadjust the other ingredients accordingly.
Method:
Making your own gives this dish a new dimension much superior to the supermarket’s version.
Ingredients
Number guide:
Use a pestle and mortar if you have one and make a paste from the tomatoes, chillies, coriander, onion and lime juice. Add a little salt and the water. Mash in the avocados.
2 avocados 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tomatoes (2 golf ball sized) 2 mild chillies chopped (sweet bell or cherry peppers are mild) 1 tablespoon chopped coriander 1 onion finely chopped 1 tablespoon lime juice 10 ml (2 teaspoons) water Salt and pepper to season to taste

Wayne Twitchen Osteopathy
Does back pain slow you down more often than you’d like to admit? Do sore joints and muscles catch up with you by the end of the day? Many people think aches and pains are inevitable signs of aging. What would you say if we told you this wasn’t necessarily true? Our bodies respond wonderfully to gentle treatment. Osteopathy is a practical, hands-on solution to injuries and everyday complaints that focuses on fixing our bodies for the long-term. If you ever suffer with a sore or painful neck, back or hips, Osteopathy could provide you with a solution in just a few treatments. And it’s not just the treatment which is fast. Getting to see your local osteopath can be a rapid path to pain-free living. No more waiting-lists or red-tape referrals. Just genuine, practical, swift assistance which will save you time and money.
Wayne Twitchen, qualified local Osteopath, offers treatment with the aim of getting people back on their feet. “My services are practical and my advice is genuine,” he says. “I want to see patients pain-free and healthy as soon as possible, even though that typically means they only come to see me for two or three treatments - sometimes less! Every treatment is given with the aim of dramatically improving pain levels and their underlying cause.” Unlike some other methods of treatment, osteopathy is so effective that patients typically see dramatic improvements in a matter of weeks. “Osteopathy patients rarely end up coming back time and time again for months and years on end,” says Wayne, “unless they want to!” Some of Wayne’s patients choose to see him regularly for ongoing maintenance, warding off aches, pains and injuries. Using soft tissue work, massage, gentle manipulations, mobilisation, stretching and rehabilitative exercises, Wayne Twitchen works to get you healthy again, so you can work and play without pain.

Book Review
Making a Song and Dance of It The West End will soon be heaving again as tourists flock to see the hottest musicals. Many of them started life as novels, plays and poetry, and the authors’ words were adapted into catchy show-tunes and moving ballads. Here’s our pick of the best-loved tales to get the toe-tapping treatment. Pygmalion George Bernard Shaw Long before Julie Andrews was beaten to the film role by Audrey Hepburn, My Fair Lady began life as Bernard Shaw’s triumphant comic play Pygmalion. The deliciously arrogant Professor Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can turn ‘guttersnipe’ Eliza Doolittle into a lady but she is far from being the downtrodden flower girl he believes her to be. It’s one of Shaw’s greatest critiques of the English class system and it’s abso-bloomin’-lutely hilarious to boot. Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats T.S. Eliot When Cats were merely kittens in Lloyd Webber’s eyes, readers were curling up in a sunny corner with T.S. Eliot’s Practical Cats. Writing under the name ‘Old Possum’ in letters to his godchildren, Eliot’s poems included tales of Macavity, Mr. Mistoffelees and Bustopher Jones. The charming collection is much-loved the world over for its unique take on cat psychology. Les Miserables Victor Hugo Jean Valjean is a man who’s desperate to escape his past, but with a policeman like Javert on his tail, this escaped convict is going to have a battle on his hands. Les Mis has everything: mistaken identity, injustice and love, all set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. It’s the world’s longest running musical, and most recently gave us the cinematic opportunity to see Hugh Jackman without a shirt on.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Ian Fleming Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: The Musical Car was written by Ian Fleming of James Bond fame, who penned the original three-part series for his son. The idea has to be every child’s dream: a flying car. Inventor Caratacus Potts restores a secondhand vehicle and he and his children name it after the sound of a backfiring engine. It soon becomes clear that Chitty isn’t your average automobile and the family embarks on an adventure that involves kidnap and gangsters, cross-channel flying and some bizarre characters. When Chitty made it to the West End, audiences poured in to see the flying car in all its glory. Oliver Twist Charles Dickens Fagin told his boys they ‘gotta pick a pocket or two’ and composer Lionel Bart picked more than an idea or two from Dickens, transposing the Victorian London of Oliver Twist to the stage, along with the wonderful characters of Twist himself, lovable rogue The Artful Dodger and simply terrifying thug, Bill Sykes. Dickens’ novel opens with Twist enduring life in the workhouse before being taken on by an undertaker. He escapes, only to fall in with Fagin’s gang of pickpockets. The book’s a lot darker than the musical with the brutality of the streets along with the poverty and drudgery of many of London’s lower classes portrayed vividly. Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West Gregory Maguire Written in 1995, Maguire’s novel is set in the land of Oz, way before Dorothy and Toto follow the yellow brick road. Elphaba is a girl who was born green, with sharp teeth and a disagreeable temperament. In Maguire’s vision, Oz is imaginatively recreated, with all its Technicolor splendour practically seeping from the page. But there are sinister goings on, adult themes and a not-so-happy-ending .The young Elphaba soon learns that it’s really not easy being green.

Plant of the Month Clematis are one of the most popular garden plants because of their versatility in terms of where they can be planted - on walls, frames, containers, over pergolas or just left to scramble their way through existing shrubs and trees. Watering them regularly during the growing season, and applying a general purpose fertiliser each month during spring and summer will keep them healthy. If you intend to plant them in a container make sure that it is at least 45cm deep and wide and that your compost is suitable for PAGE 34
container based planting. Replace the top few cms each spring with fresh potting compost. For those that are climbers, provide a form of support and those that are shrubbier in nature, give them ties to their supports.

Great Local Days Out - West Wycombe Park
First recorded in the Domesday Book, the manor of West Wycombe belonged to the Bishops of Winchester. The estate came into the Dashwood family in 1698 as part of a family settlement, and was transferred to the two brothers, Samuel and Francis Dashwood. In 1706 Francis bought his brother’s share of the estate for £15,000. He became Sir Francis Dashwood in 1707. The original mansion was sited lower down on the estate and was demolished by Sir Francis the 1st Baronet around 1710. A new one was built on higher ground where the house is today. The 2nd Baronet, Sir Francis, inspired by his travels to Italy on the Grand Tour, spent his life converting his modest Queen Anne home into a Palladian style villa. He also redesigned the formal garden moving to a more naturalistic landscape much favoured in this period; and throughout the park he built a number of follies in the form of classical temples creating a serene and graceful garden. In 1943 Sir John Dashwood gifted the property to the nation and the National Trust in partnership with his son, the late Sir Francis, embarked on a programme of restoration to reveal much glorious original decorative detail. West Wycombe Park is still home to the Dashwood family. Sir Edward, the 12th Baronet, his wife Lucinda and their three children are in residence. Entry to the property is on the unique and beautiful South Colonnade. Eight ground floor State Rooms are open to the public and are an explosion of excess and extravagance with lavishly
PAGE 38
painted ceilings and classical frescoes reflecting the 2nd Baronet’s love of Italy, antiquity and the erotic. Overlooking a glistening lake, streams and leafy walks, West Wycombe Park continues to fascinate with its irresistible italianate charm. Elegant and quirky, this is a place to make you smile If awards were given for Best Location, West Wycombe Park would be a frequent winner. Its glorious grounds and spectacular interiors have featured in many period films and TV costume dramas such as the Importance of Being Earnest, Cranford, Little Dorrit and Downton Abbey. There is plenty more in the surrounding historic landscape to entertain you for the day – a wander through the centuries old village of West Wycombe with its shops and inns. You can’t miss the Hill with its strange mausoleum and iconic golden ball above the Church of St. Lawrence. A walk through the wild flower meadows will take you to the top and far ranging views. West Wycombe Park’s Grounds opened in April and the House will open on Sunday June 2nd.. Entry is by Guided Tour, Monday to Thursday with a free flow system in place on Sunday. Gates open at 2.00pm with last entries at 5.15pm. We will be hosting a Vintage, Veteran and Classic Car day on Father’s Day June 16th and a wonderful Outdoor Theatre “Alice – an extraordinary adventure” on Saturday August 24th.

Monthly Focus
– International Picnic Day There seems to be a special day for everything nowadays and whilst this is no exception it was one that seemed a shame to ignore. Whilst there’s little information that points to a definitive origin for this special day what could be better than spending time outdoors with friends and family? It falls on 18th June this year so why not find a local park or field, kick off your shoes and enjoy an al fresco meal together? Make sure you go somewhere that isn’t restricted for what you want to take (pets / alcohol etc.) and ensure that there’s sufficient shade for those of your party who need it. Bring cups and plates that will withstand a grassy field/slopes or sand and always, always remember a bag for the
rubbish. There’s nothing worse than people who leave their mess behind for others. Games are fab too and they don’t have to be athletic. A peaceful game of Scrabble in the sun is just as fun as leaping around with a Frisbee (and less disruptive on people around you). And finally don’t forget your blanket. Make sure you can wash it or wipe it clean and ensure it’s big enough for everyone and the food!

Dog of the Month
Benny
Hi there, my name is Benny and I’m a 10 month old Pointer X. I am a friendly & happy boy, I am also very intelligent so would love to learn some new tricks. I will need to be kept busy so that I don’t get bored! I would like to live with another active dog so that I have someone to play with, I do get a bit anxious if I am left on my own so it’s important I have company. I may be able to live with a cat but we would need to test this if you have one, if there are children in your home I would prefer that they are aged 8 years and over. PAGE 46
If you are interested in offering me, or any other dog, a loving home please visit Stokenchurch Dog Rescue any day except Thursday between 2pm and 4pm, or give them a call on 01494 482695. It would be great to see you!

Gardening
Bugs and beasties are really thriving in this warmer weather, so just how should you deal with the most common problems you are likely to encounter at this time of year? Aphids Greenfly and blackfly, also known as aphids, can be a real menace as they suck sap from your plants and sometimes even transmit viruses at the same time. Aphids breed incredibly rapidly, so regular control is necessary or one or two individuals will turn into a huge colony. • Check plants regularly and either spray with a suitable insecticide or if you prefer not to use this type of chemical then consider spraying with a soap or plant oil based insecticide • Use biological controls – they’re a great way to deal with these pests, totally safe for all other creatures and of course leave no residues • Use a strong jet of water (perhaps by putting your thumb over the end of the hosepipe) to blast the aphids off plants, but do make sure that you do a thorough job or else they will soon be back up and causing damage. Caterpillars Caterpillars come in all shapes, sizes and colours, but can do a lot of damage as they munch their way through your plants and perhaps even into your vegetables. • Hand pick the pest where possible and either squash or place on the bird table. Remember many caterpillars feed in the evening, so they are easiest to spot at dusk or very early in the morning. • Spray with a suitable contact insecticide or better still use the Nemasys Caterpillar biological control. This latter control is the favoured option for organic gardeners who can’t solve the problem purely with hand picking. • Some caterpillars, in particular the Tortrix Moth produce quantities of fine webbing which they use to bind leaves or other plant parts together to create particularly safe shelters for themselves. These types can be especially difficult to control as it is hard for a pesticide to actually reach them. Hand picking or squashing is often the best answer. PAGE 52
• Cover caterpillar-susceptible crops such as calabrese, broccoli and other brassicas with Envirofleece or Enviromesh. This will help to keep a wide range of pests, including caterpillars away from the plants. Woodlice Woodlice often cause a lot of concern, particularly if you find them lurking in and around sickly looking plants in your greenhouse. However, these little creatures are rarely responsible for doing that much damage in their own right as they simply do not have adequately strong mouthparts. This means that although they can indeed cause damage to soft new growth or occasionally to soft-fleshed fruits such as strawberries, they are not actually able to tackle tougher plant growth. You may, however, see them at the ‘scene of the crime’ and presume that they have caused the initial damage but they have probably moved in to clean up a lot of the debris created by other creatures. Earwigs Earwigs do cause quite a bit of damage, particularly on the flowers of plants such as clematis and dahlias, where they can nibble out large quantities of petal or occasionally leaf, leaving the plants looking decidedly moth eaten. One of the best ways of trapping earwigs is the traditional method using an inverted flowerpot on top of a bamboo cane. The bamboo cane and pot should be positioned amongst susceptible plants and the pot needs to be stuffed loosely full of hay, straw or similar material. The earwigs climb in there to hide and the pots can them simply be emptied out on a regular basis.
