ISSUE No 48
JUNE / JULY 2011
Dear Readers I wonder if, like me, you are wondering how many tickets you will be allocated for the Olympic Games next year? Also, I always look forward to this month as Wimbledon is once again looming, so plenty of excuses for sitting down with a bowl of strawberries to watch the action! Well, I might consider some work inbetween times too. In this issue we continue to run helpful features from Surrey Waste about how to cope with food and garden waste - I know how easy it is myself to end up throwing away perfectly good food, and I guess I won’t be the only guilty one. We also have lots on being outdoors in the garden in this issue and continue with advice on hanging baskets courtesy of Pippa Greenwood on Page 44. Don’t forget Grace & Flavour updates on Page 15. With our theme of supporting our charity of the year, there is lots going on at Dunsfold, the home of Surrey Air Ambulance that you need to know about, with their Open Day on 12 June and their first Double Bike Challenge with a chance to win a £1000 Chris Boardman bike - lots of info on Page 13. Another Open Mic event is being held at West Horsley Village Hall on 5th June with opportunities for talented youngsters to appear in front of family and friends. Supper is also provided at an amazing cost and proceeds will go to the Surrey Air Ambulance, so please go along and support this event. On 24th June St Lawrence Primary School are holding a Circus Show for the young ones and information on this in more detail is shown on What’s On, as is lots more information of theatre shows and local events. We love to hear from readers telling us what they enjoyed in the magazine or telling us about forthcoming events, so please do contact us at: editor@thehorsleydirectory.co.uk DON’T FORGET WE ARE ALSO ONLINE AT www.thehorsleydirectory.co.uk

Spring into composting Whether you’re a keen gardener or just want to choose the greenest, most natural way to deal with your food and garden waste, composting is the perfect solution. Grass cuttings, dried leaves, twigs and vegetable peelings are just some of the ingredients that can go into a compost bin or heap to make peat-free compost – ideal to use in potting or planting in your garden or allotment. Getting started is easy. All you need is a compost bin or a small space in the garden to create a heap. Then just follow our easy guide to creating your own supply of natural food for your garden.
Why compost? Compost is a natural, nutrient-rich food product for your garden. It will help improve soil structure, maintain moisture levels, and keep your soil’s PH balance in check while helping to suppress plant disease. It will have everything your plants need including nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and will help buffer soils that are very acidic or alkaline. Compost improves your soil’s condition and your plants and flowers will love it! Home-made compost is peat-free which means it is good for the environment outside your garden too. It reduces the need to buy peat products, which have been commercially sourced and extracted from peat bogs, resulting in the release of the carbon stored in them.
Get composting today – for a greener tomorrow. You can compost a wider range of materials in more specialist bins such Recipe for success as Green Cones and Wormeries. More information on website.

Cooked vegetables Meat Dairy products Diseased plants Dog mess or cat litter Nappies
Find the right site. Site your bin or heap on bare soil. If space is limited, put your bin on concrete, tarmac or patio slabs, but make sure there’s a layer of soil or existing compost on the bottom so garden creatures can colonise.
2.
Add the right ingredients. Fill your kitchen caddy with the right ingredients such as tea bags, taking care not to compost cooked food, meat or fish.
3.
Fill it up. Empty your kitchen caddy and your garden waste into your bin or heap. A 50/50 mix of greens and browns is the perfect recipe for good compost.
4.
After 9-12 months. The ingredients you have put in your bin or heap should have turned into a dark brown, earthy smelling material at the bottom of the bin, which can be dug out, with the newer material being left. Don’t worry if your compost looks a little lumpy with twigs and bits of eggshells – this is perfectly normal. Simply sift out any bits and return them to your bin or heap.
5.
Ready! Once your compost resembles thick, moist soil and smells very earthy, it’s ready to use.
6.
Collect the compost. Instructions will be delivered with your bin. But simply lift the bin slightly or open the hatch at the bottom and scoop out the fresh compost with a garden fork or spade. If you have built your own, simply rake out the ready compost.
7.
Use it. And watch your garden bloom. Compost can be used for all types of planting needs – vegetable plants for allotments; general potting (if mixed with something like ordinary soil); or flowerbeds and enriching new borders by mixing in existing soil.

Summer at Wimbledon It’s Wimbledon again, I’m feeling anxious, very fraught, The pressure’s on again, it always is, on Centre Court, The linesman has a guide dog and the umpire’s ninety three, My opponent’s using gamesmanship; it’s really bothering me, He queries almost everything; we’re stuck again at deuce, The umpire is agreeing! What’s all this? The man’s obtuse, So many bad decisions, and so many dodgy calls, If he carries on, it won’t be me who needs some brand new balls, Now it’s getting cloudy, and of course, here comes the rain, It seems that we’ll be heading to the changing rooms again, I’m thinking things can’t get much worse, and then, to my chagrin, As I scuttle off the court, I hear Cliff Richard start to sing… ©Jan Jack’s Perfect Verse 2011 www.perfectverse.co.uk

The specialist doctors and paramedics on board can carry out advanced medical procedures at the scene of an accident or medical emergency, giving patients the best chance and quality of survival. Dunsfold Park is also the home of Top Gear and is situated off the A281 Guildford to Horsham road, off Stovolds Hill, GU6 8TB.

Competitors will also have the chance to win a £1,000 Chris Boardman bike and there will be a BBQ available for family and friends to celebrate their achievement.

Grace & Flavour, the community vegetable-growing co-operative at Dene Place, Ripley Lane With the car park complete and just feet to go with the perimeter fence (deer and rabbitproof), concentration at last returns to the garden itself at Grace & Flavour. The weeds have taken every opportunity to grow, so it’s a real balance between planting and weeding. Lovely reader, you have given me your attention so often here in The Horsley Directory – I thought you might like to hear another ‘voice’ – that of Head Gardener Pete, a volunteer like the rest of us. If you like what you read, perhaps you will pop down to the G&F garden on Ripley Lane one Saturday and join in the fun. Su Our planting plan lists over 40 varieties, a significant number are vegetables for successional cropping over the coming winter. A list is posted in the Garden ‘kitchen’ and I am hoping to also get it added to our web site. Almost all of the fruit trees received have been planted. Those that haven’t are destined for the landscape area in the allotments. The apples and pear trees have been pruned to Espalier them. This does look drastic as we have removed a significant amount of their growth but it is necessary to achieve the right shape and consequently good crops. We will be pruning the stone fruit (plums etc) to Fans as soon as we have the support posts and wire installed. Yes you’re right we shouldn’t prune stone fruit until summer because of the risk of disease (silver leaf, a fungus attack) but it’s OK as long as we seal all the cuts to prevent the fungus getting in. The polytunnel was been disinfected and sulphur candles burnt to provide the clean conditions necessary for propagation. This includes disinfecting all seed trays and pots before use, only using fresh potting medium (soil based seed compost) and using fresh water not rain water. All of this is necessary to reduce the risks of disease to the seedlings at their very susceptible stage of growth. Our Asparagus bed has been planted with most of the hundred or so plants we planned. These are growing beautifully however we must not cut them this year but instead allow
the plants to fully establish themselves over 2 years. Next year we may cut a very, very, very few stems to check the flavour – it’s a rotten job but someone has to do it! After that the bed should be productive for 6 or 8 years providing we give it lots and lots of manure and keep it weed free. The Asparagus bed is behind the polytunnel but it stops 3 or 4m from the wall. We intend to fill this bed up to the wall next year (another 50 or so plants) but we first have to reduce the size of the Yew trees that are currently taking light and moisture. We have heavily pruned these Yew trees already and will complete the job in the Autumn. The onions, garlic, peas and broad beans we planted outside in November are all growing very well. We have also planted outside: 50Kg of Arran Pilot potatoes (first earlies); 50Kg Charlotte potatoes (second earlies); Shallots – 4 x 10m rows; Parsnips – 3 x 10m rows; Beetroot 2 x 10m row, so far; Carrots 2 x 10m rows, more later; Broad Beans (later crop) 6 x 10m rows; Mange Tout peas – 1 x 10m row, more to be planted; Blackcurrants; Raspberries – Autumn fruiting variety. We also have, under glass; Cucumber - these have germinated and are doing well. We will soon have to prick them out into larger pots; Rhubarb – again these have germinated and have been pricked-out into 3” pots and are doing well. We are planning a 10m row which will hopefully satisfy Members needs in 2 or 3 years when they are ready for cropping. Same problem as with Asparagus I’m afraid; Cape gooseberry - an experiment. If successful and Members like them we will repeat in greater quantity next year – germinated and doing well; Tomato – small and standard size; Lettuce – 3 types; Melons, Runner Beans and French Beans. That does not even include what John & team have planted on the Eastern (purely organic) half of the garden. It’s quite enough to be going on with! Peter Davis

Giving to Charity, new relief by will... There are two ways in which the tax system helps in making gifts to charity. The first is for gifts on your death, the second for gifts made in your lifetime. The Budget has provided a new relief for gifts made by will. Gifts to a charity are not subject to inheritance tax. In addition, from April 2012, if 10% of the net estate on death is given to charity then the inheritance tax rate on the rest of the estate will drop from 40% to 36%. If your estate is worth £1,000,000 and is left to your children, then, if you have made no previous gifts of capital but wish to make a substantial donation to Charity a comparison of the old and new rules is as follows: Old Rules If you died before April 2012 and gave £67,000 to charity in your will: Estate Charity gift Exempt threshold Taxable estate Tax at 40% Your children get
The result is that the children’s share has increased £24,300.We have not showed the calculation but if no Charity gift had been made at all the children would have received an additional £16,200.The effect of the new rules is that the Charity receives £67,500 at a cost of only £16,200 to the Estate. This may make gifts to a charity by will much more attractive than lifetime gifts under gift aid for all except the very highest-rate taxpayers. It may make it worthwhile deferring gifts in lifetime so they can make up 10% of the net estate on death. Similarly, the beneficiaries are often able to alter the will (by a deed of arrangement) after death and they may choose to make a charitable gift which is going to cost them a small part of what the charity will receive.

Working from home In Sickness and in Health by Ted Bruning
B
eing ill is simple when you work in an office. You just stay at home until you’re better. Of course, there are refinements. For example: do you ring in sick early, before the switchboard is warmed up, and leave a message hoping nobody will bother will call back? Or do you wait until the boss has his/her coffee, and then ring up and really lay it on with a trowel? The actor in me says the latter; the coward says the former. It’s not so simple when you work from home, though, because work and home are the same place and – if you’ll pardon the metaphysics – the same time. If you’re an office worker with a snuffle that looks like it could turn nasty, then you make a decision at a specific time – ie the last moment you can leave home in time to catch the bus – not to go to a specific place – ie the office. If you work from home then that time doesn’t exist, and you’re already in that place. So how do we workers-from-home decide when we’re too ill to go to work? Well, there are two options: (a) when we’re genuinely too ill to get out of bed, and (b) when we’re not really that ill but there’s nothing vital to do. These two states of ill-health correspond exactly to those that keep office workers at home; it’s the process of deciding exactly when one or the other has been attained and then acting on it that is less well-defined and therefore more problematical for us workers-fromhome. You have to be really, really (a) or really, really (b) before you admit that you’re far too ill to crank up the PC. (And yes, it is possible to be really, really (b), although it feels more like apathy than illness). Then there’s guilt. If you’re an office-worker, there’s a simple piece of political philosophy that can utterly zap employee guilt: it’s called Marxism. All value is labour, says Karl: the value of goods and service precisely equates the labour that has gone into them. Capitalists become rich by appropriating most of the value of the workers’ labour; so every moment you spend at work you’re being robbed. By calling in sick, you keep your miserly share of the value of your labour – without
actually surrendering the labour itself. So throwing a sickie is a crime prevention measure and a blow for social justice. Don’t feel guilty, feel proud! But if you’re self-employed then you are both capitalist and labourer, so whichever way you look at it you’re robbing yourself. Again, don’t feel guilty: feel confused. My musings on illness were prompted by a recent bout of flu during which I ran a high temperature and so enjoyed a state of mild delirium. During my uncontrolled mental ramblings two (mercifully short) poems leapt fully-formed into my fevered brain. I don’t pretend to understand them. Delirium is the twin brother of dreaming, and just as incomprehensible. But they made me laugh, so here they are.
ODE TO WILLIAM HAGUE Whether you take this ode as a compliment is up to you. It’s just something that’s there, and perhaps slightly surprising, Like suddenly seeing your portrait painted on a boulder Or tattooed on the rear end of a pig. STEPHEN FRY IS WATER Stephen Fry is water. He is everywhere and necessary, The loving gift of a bountiful God. Not enough Stephen Fry and we wither. Too much and our carpets get wet. No, I don’t get it either.

An Englishman In New York By Chris Russell
O
ne of my favourite places in the world to visit with my band is the USA. We’ve now toured there five times and every year I learn something new about the country. In light of this, I thought it might be of use to other aspiring musicians out there to publish what I like to call The British Rock Musician’s Top Three Tips For Surviving The States:
1. Beware of US Customs Officials Americans are, in my experience, the friendliest people in the world. Bearing this in mind, it’s a little off-putting that the very first people you meet when you arrive in the USA make Vlad The Impaler look like Sooty. And they’re particularly suspicious of musicians. I remember an unfortunate conversation that took place between a customs official at Newark Airport and our innocent young sound engineer, Danny, who happened to be carrying an unusually-shaped (and frankly bomblike) aluminium flight-case of mine out through security: Official: Whadda you got there, young man? Danny: What? Official: That case. What is it? Danny: Um... Official: I mean, PRETTY FUNNY-LOOKING SUITCASE, dontcha think? Danny: Not really. Official: What’s inside it? Danny: I don’t know. Official: YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S INSIDE IT? Danny: No. Official: How can you not know what’s inside it? Danny: It’s not mine. Somebody just gave it to me to carry through. For reasons that I won’t enter into now, the case in question was in fact full of my pants. When I stepped in and produced a handful of boxers from inside, I could see the guy trying with all his might to understand why somebody would buy an indestructible metal box in which to transport their underwear. He was not amused. 2. Don’t underestimate the weather American weather is ARMAGEDDON WEATHER. We had a show booked at an amphitheatre in New Jersey once that had to be postponed following a thunderstorm of such epic proportions that ornaments rattled on mantelpieces and cars
rocked in the street. If you pop out for a pint of milk in high summer and become caught up in an East Coast hot-storm, there’s a very decent chance you’ll come back missing limbs. This is the reason the apocalyptic weather movie ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ was set in the States. If that film had played out in the UK, it would have been three haggard dinner-ladies sitting around a kitchen table in Hull, staring out through rain-flecked windows across a deserted car park and going ‘Look Pat - it’s drizzlin’ again.’ 3. Never, ever visit the States when you’re on a diet This is perhaps a rather obvious point, but it’s worth mentioning anyway because when you’re on the road in between gigs you’ll find it spectacularly difficult to avoid the lure of American fast food. And at the end of the day, why would you even want to? The Americans are, for instance, responsible for the invention of a fantastic radioactive liquid ‘cheese-food’ called Whizz that represents an important element of the legendary Philadelphia Cheesesteak sandwich. Cheese Whizz has the precise look and texture of that yellow poster paint you find in primary schools. Fortunately it tastes a lot better but, selfevidently, Whizz has about as much in common with actual cheese as Paris Hilton does with the capital of France. And it’s absolutely fantastic. I could go on, of course, but there’s simply not space here. Perhaps one day I will release a compendium. In the meantime, travel safe people and, when a sandwich-maker in Philadelphia asks you if you want that ‘wit whizz’, always say yes. Chris plays piano in South London power-pop band The Lightyears. The Lightyears, voted the UK’s BEST POP/ROCK ACT at the Indy Awards, have played Wembley Stadium, toured across four continents, worked with Sting’s producer and starred in a T-Mobile advert. Chris is currently working on his first novel, “Mockstars”. Read more of Chris’ blogs and tour diaries at www. TheLightyears.com.

Junior Open Mic
COME AND WATCH ON 5TH JUNE The Charity Junior Open Mic held in support of Surrey Air Ambulance in April was an enormous success with 14 very talented, young performers. The amount raised was £200 as the event was held in the Easter Holidays and lots of ‘regulars’ were away so there weren’t as many tickets sold as previous ones. The ages of the performers ranged from 6 -16 and included singing, piano and saxophone. Lots of the singers were from the Voice in a Million Singing Academy and the standard was amazing. The catering by Susie Mann was delicious and people sat down to a feast of Lasagne and Tiramisu or giant Cookies ! If you’d like to perform at our next one on June 5th or would like to come and watch, please don’t hesitate to contact me.’

Cheap Convertibles
T
he sun may have only been out for a little bit, but with the sunburn and the smell of barbecues comes that annual hankering for a cheap convertible. There’s nothing quite like a spot of top-down motoring when the temperature manages to haul itself into double figures – and the good news is it won’t have to cost you a second mortgage. Here, we delve into the online classifieds to find you five bargain summer sizzlers that you can put on your drive for less than £2,000. Just remember to save some cash for the Factor 50…
find the cabin a little cramped, but you’ll soon forget that when you’re blasting along country lanes with the top down. A 1998 model with 50,000 miles and service history can be found for £2,000.
Mazda MX-5, from £780
You’ll have to hunt pretty hard, but Audi A4 Cabriolet models do occasionally crop up within this price bracket. That might mean looking in the depths of winter when the last thing people want is a soft-top, but canny buyers will be rewarded for their efforts. The A4 is solid, well packaged and usually comes with a high spec. For this money you’ll find a tired petrol model with intergalactic mileage but, have it looked at by an independent, and you could be onto a winner.
The MX-5 is a perennial softtop favourite and rightly so. It’s been around for 21 years now which means there are plenty of cheaper examples knocking about. Our £2,000 budget can get a well-looked after original model, not an import, with relatively low mileage. The Mazda is brilliant to drive, cheap to run and repair and the perfect entry into convertible ownership.
Saab 9-3 Convertible, from £850 Yes, you read that right. Saab 9-3 Convertibles can be had for under £1,000. That’s a huge amount of car for the money. You’ll be able to seat four in comfort, it’s built like a tank and will go on forever. And that’s handy because for this money you’re looking at a 150,000-miler plus. We found one with 180k, a 2.0-litre turbo petrol lump, service history, tax and MOT for six months at £850 on Auto Trader. Be quick as we’re tempted ourselves…
Fiat Barchetta, from £999 This has to be the cheapest way into Italian twoseater soft-top ownership. The little Barchetta only comes in left-hand drive, which helps bring values down. If you can live with that, you’ll be rewarded with a cracking drive, good looks and a zesty 1.7-litre engine. Some drivers will
Audi A4 Cabriolet, from £2,000
Mercedes SLK, from £2,295 Ok, so it might be a little over our budget but we think with a little hard negotiating you could pick up an SLK for under £2k. We spotted an R-reg model in black with 120k miles, 6 months tax and four months MOT at a dealer for £2,295 ono – easily negotiable within budget. The Mercedes is a timeless design, has a folding metal roof and, although not the quickest, is still great to drive. By James Baggott, editor of Car Dealer Magazine (CarDealerMag.co.uk)

It’s Father’s Day on 19th June and we’ve gathered a collection of the best titles perfect for any Dad on his special day. Azincourt by Bernard Cornwell From the creator of ‘Sharpe’ came Azincourt, undoubtedly Bernard Cornwell’s best historical novel - a story depicting the events at Agincourt seen through the eyes of an English longbowman. Exploring the horrors of the battle in detail and the plight of the people – as well as delving into the context of Christian values, society and the Church, the author creates solid characters and a scene in which history becomes very real for the reader. A fascinating, unputdownable novel.
It’s Not the Winning that Counts by Max Davidson Just when you think that sport is all about business and money, this book comes along and captures fifty of the most tear-jerking moments of good, honest sportsmanship that ever were. From the final putt of the 1969 Ryder cup to Freddie Flintoff’s heartwarming consolation of Brett Lee at the 2005 Ashes series, you’ll need to buy Dad some man-sized tissues to accompany this fantastic book!
The Haynes Dad Manual In a format that’s familiar to most father figures,
Haynes have put together this ingenious resource instructing Dads everywhere how to engage, involve and interest their children with all kinds of projects and activities. From making and growing things to kitchen fun and the rules of sport, as well as a number of ‘taking things apart’ diagrams, the comprehensive title is easy to follow and full of colour images and illustrations. With tons to keep Dads and their children busy, this is full of fantastic ideas to inspire and develop skills, as well as cementing that vital father-son/daughter bond. A must-have!
What You See is What You Get by Alan Sugar Honest, controversial and very entertaining, this is the life story of the ultimate self-made man, best known as S’ralan. Sugar describes his early days growing up on a council estate in Hackney and how his father’s struggle motivated him towards becoming an entrepreneur, which led to his triumph with IT giant Amstrad. From achieving full-blown fame in the hit TV series The Apprentice to his peerage, this is a truly incredible story - bold, inspirational and highly amusing!
King’s Speech by Mark Logue and Peter Conradi Regardless of whether you’ve seen the film or not, this fantastic story will captivate, inspire and move any reader. Exploring the character of Lionel Rogue and his relationship with George VI, this is the story of how one man’s skill and determination enabled a nation to connect with and love its King through one of the most difficult periods of modern history.
Race to the Pole by Ben Fogle and James Cracknell For the adventurer within! Deciding that their jaunt across the Atlantic wasn’t quite challenging enough, this famous duo headed to the South Pole, inspired by the race between Captain Scott and Roald Amundsen almost a century ago. This diary-style story covers their gruelling trek, as well as the extensive preparation they underwent, making this a more intimate and enduring story as the reader journeys with them at each stage. Personal, honest and fascinating, this is the ultimate modern tale of endurance and friendship.
Amazing & Extraordinary Facts: British Prime Minister by Jonathan Bastable Packed with fascinating facts and trivia, this title delves into the 300 year history of England’s Prime Ministers. Covering a wide range of topics and revealing a number of intimate details about Number Ten’s occupants over the years, from one who served 100 days to another who kept the job for 21 years, this is a thoroughly absorbing read that’s perfect for any politically-minded father.

Something Old Something New Katherine Sorrell
U
nexpected and individual, unique and environmentally friendly, well-made and timelessly appealing – how does this sound? Whether we’re talking vintage, retro, antique or, erm, just plain old, there are heaps of good reasons why adding a well-chosen selection of ‘mature’ furnishings to any room scheme can be enormously successful. Old pieces make a statement, have a fascinating history and are built to last. The quality of old pine, for example, is vastly superior to that of new pine (and a nicer colour, too), and old mirrors are much more flattering. What’s more, including even just one antique piece in an otherwise-modern room will add texture and subtle individuality. But just how do you combine old with new, contemporary with classic? Especially when the aim is to be both good-looking and practical, with a look that won’t go out of fashion in the next five minutes. As with all interior design schemes, it’s best to start by assessing your room. Measure it and draw a plan, marking in such key elements as windows, doors, builtin cupboards, radiators, light fittings, plus sockets and so on. Do you need to make any structural changes? If so, now’s the time. If the structure is fine, consider the room’s size and shape, and whether its architectural style will affect the way in which you decorate. Work out where furniture will go, and whether you have too much or too little of it. Now you have a good idea of what type of things you’ll need to look out for – whether you’re planning a trip to the high street, a charity shop, car boot sale or auction house. The next important principle is to concentrate on timeless designs. If it’s well designed, whatever era it dates from, it will work with other pieces. 38
Fresh, modern colours and a vintage vibe contrast beautifully with Georgian architecture. Victoriana bedstead, £299 and Crochet rug, £250; Marks & Spencer (0845 302 1234; www.marksandspencer.com)
Another good rule is to keep floors, walls and woodwork neutral. They won’t date and, more importantly, won’t clash with your one-off furnishings. On a similar note, avoid having more than one, or perhaps two, ‘statement’ pieces in a room. When you have chosen a piece that you really love, you can build a scheme around it. It could be a chaise longue, a lamp or a hand-made vase – try to complement its characteristics with other key pieces and to provide a pleasant contrast with others. It’s a subtle one, this. Too much contrived matching and the room will look forced; too many contrasting elements and it will lack coherence. It all comes down to a combination of instinct and trial and error – just keep on trying until everything feels right. Colour can be an excellent ally, drawing together disparate items so that they co-ordinate well. It could be that you re-upholster an old armchair and choose co-ordinating cushions for a new sofa, adding in a picture with elements of the same colour, or a vase in a complementary shade.
YOUR TOWN, YOUR RESOURCE
Bingo! An appealing room appears as if by magic. And of course, the easiest and cheapest transformation of all is to repaint. Tables, cabinets and sideboards, wardrobes and chests of drawers, and in particular wooden chairs and stools, can all be rescued, restored and transformed quite easily. A selection of cheap wooden chairs, for example, will look fabulous painted the same matt off-white, no matter how disparate their style – a superbly simple way to mix old and new. A paint job is ideal for a junk-shop find or an old Ikea purchase – though obviously not for valuable antiques. Changing knobs and handles can also make a dramatic difference, giving a vintage feel to a cheap, modern piece, or adding a touch of class to
something frumpy and oldfashioned. If you’re feeling bold, you can even add or remove mouldings, replace solid doors with glazing, or fit additional hanging rails or hooks. The final guideline is perhaps the most important of all: don’t forget function. Old or new, every piece you choose should do its job brilliantly. Mend that sticking drawer or wobbly chair and then you can be as bold and imaginative as you dare, putting together rooms that are as enjoyable to live in as they are to look at.
Adding an old piece into a new scheme can introduce gorgeous colour and texture. The Ostrich wallpaper costs £72 per roll, from Garendenny Lane Interiors (00 353 86 1051007; www.garrendennylane.com)

by Pippa Greenwood he Hanging Gardens of Babylon may be the famous ones, but why not create a superbly colourful hanging basket of your own? Garden centres and nurseries are crammed full of summer bedding plants at this time of year and there are colours to suit every taste. If aerial gardening is not for you, then the same type of plants can be used to produce a superb container for your terrace, patio or backyard. The great thing about summer bedding containers is that you can do just about whatever you want in the way of planting ...and get away with it. So now that the frosts are over in most areas, why not start planting? All you need is readily available from your local garden centre: a good-sized basket - choose a 12” basket as it’s easier to keep moist than smaller ones, a hanging-basket liner (make sure it is the same diameter as the basket you’ve chosen), or a good-sized pot or planter with plenty of drainage holes. A good quality multi-purpose compost is essential for excellent results. What you choose is up to you, but the range is vast - Nemesia, Surfinia Petunias, Upright Petunias, Cineraria ‘Silverdust’, purple-bronze leafed Thalia Fuchsias or their more traditional cousins, Pelargoniums, Lobelia ...the list is endless. Think carefully about colours and textures. Decide whether you’re going for subtle or brash and bold, or if you would like to co-ordinate the flowers with other garden features. If you are planting a basket, place it in a large flowerpot as this stops the round-bottomed basket from moving and makes it much easier to plant. Place the liner in the basket, adjusting it to fit the basket and trimming off any excess. Next add handfuls of compost up until the point where you want to plant around the sides of the basket. Planting slits are included in some liners. If you are using a pot, place a few inches of broken flower pots or large stones in the base and top up with compost to within a few inches of the pot rim. Carefully remove the plants you need from their containers, easing the root balls out gently but firmly. An upright plant such as a Fuchsia or
44
Pelargonium is a perfect choice for the centre of the basket or container as it helps to give your planting height and structure. For hanging baskets carefully ease the root ball of each through the planting slit and nestle the root ball in to the compost. It is easier posting the roots through and you’re less likely to do any long term damage. Any container looks better if there are plants cascading over the sides, so choose trailing plants and put these in around the edge. Space the trailing plants evenly around the sides of the basket. Drizzle compost around and between the root balls of all the plants, making sure that each one has new and fresh compost to grow in to. Use your fingers to firm the compost and make sure that there are no gaps. It is best to use a combination of cascading plants and some upright ones around the outer edges of a basket. This will ensure a really well filled and colourful display and should help to hide the basket framework too. Once the planting is complete, water the container thoroughly using a watering can with the rose attached. It is best not to hang a basket up or stand a pot in its final position until it has had a few days ‘rest’ sitting in a cool spot out of too much hot, direct sunshine. This little rest period allows the plants to settle in to their new home and perform better later on.
YOUR TOWN, YOUR RESOURCE
Tips for Keeping your Summer Planter or Basket Looking Great • Water regularly, never letting the compost dry out completely. Use a watering can with rose attached, or a gentle spray nozzle on the end of a hose to minimise the risk of disturbing the compost or the plants.
• Feed every couple of weeks with a highpotash liquid fertiliser such as a tomato feed, as this will help to encourage more flowers to develop. If you position a planter full of summer bedding on the paving beneath a hanging basket, then any excess water or feed from the basket won’t be wasted.
• If the container does become too dry it may be difficult to re-wet the compost. If so, carefully sit it in a bowl of water for about an hour, allowing it to soak up the water it needs from the base and sides. • Regularly remove faded flowers, before they have a chance to set seed. This should help to encourage the plants to continue producing more flowers. Pinching them off by hand works well for most plants but if the stems are a bit tough, use secateurs or sharp scissors. • Check regularly for any pests such as greenfly and treat the problem promptly. When plants are as tightly crammed together as they are in a flourishing basket or patio pot, problems soon build up and spread if you’re not quick off the mark.

Holidays: a time to relax, turn off the phone and catch up on all those books you’ve been meaning to read. Thanks to ebook readers there’s no need to stuff your suitcase full of books when you travel, but which one’s the best for holiday reading?
What’s the best ebook reader for bookworms?
There are three big players in the UK ebook market: Apple, with its iPads; Amazon, with its Kindle; and Sony, with its Reader devices. There are others - for example Waterstone’s offers a range of ebook readers from firms including Elonex and iRiver, while recent Androidpowered tablet computers boast Google Books software - but for now it’s a three-horse race. There are some big differences between the devices. If you want a do-it-all that doubles as an ebook reader, then Apple’s iPad 2 is the way to go: it’s a proper computer that can edit video, make music, browse the Internet and play games. Androidpowered tablets are very similar. There are downsides to all that power, though. The first is price - iPad 2s start at around £440, rising to nearly £700 for the top-end model. The second is the screen - tablet computers use laptop-style screens, which are hopeless in direct sunlight. They’re also power hungry. The iPad’s ten-hour battery life is impressive in computer terms, but it’s terrible compared to a device such as Amazon’s Kindle.
The Kindle (pictured here) has an e-ink display, which is the closest to real ink on paper from an electronic device. That means it’s quite happy in direct sunlight, very easy on the eyes – there’s no tired-eyes feeling that comes from staring at a screen for hours and it’s very small and light, although it also means the Kindle can’t cope with colour images, let alone video. E-ink only uses power when you change the page, so battery life is extraordinary: tablets need charging daily, but e-ink devices last for weeks between charges. There are two Kindles: the Wi-Fi-only one at £111, and the 3G one at £152. The former is the better bet. Unless you intend to read newspapers on it (you can subscribe and have them delivered wirelessly) there’s no real need for a 3G mobile connection - simply transfer books via Wi-Fi when you’re at home. Kindles store up to 3,500 books, so you’re unlikely to run out of things to read when you’re travelling.
The problem with the Kindle is that it’s an Amazon-only effort: if you want to read copy-protected books (most mainstream ebook releases are copy-protected), you’ll need to buy them from Amazon. It’s a similar story with the iPad 2 - its iBooks software expects you to buy from the iBooks shop. If that sounds too restrictive, then Sony would like to show you something. Sony’s Readers (pictured below) are based on the same idea as the Kindle and costs much the same (at the time of writing the PRS350 is £149), but it has two interesting features: its e-ink screen is a touch screen, which makes using the device much easier, and its formats of choice are EPUB and PDF. Such books are sold in all kinds of places - all Waterstone’s titles are in EPUB or PDF format - so you’re not limited to a single ebook shop. So what’s best? If you want a do-everything device, choose a tablet - but if you’re a bookworm, try an e-ink display.
Our final thought... The choice ultimately comes down to your favourite bookshop. If it’s Amazon, choose a Kindle; if it isn’t, think Sony.

How to get the child-friendly holiday you want this year
B
ooking a family holiday can be a nightmare, with hours spent searching online for the ideal destination, only to find you’ve been too slow and everything is fully booked. Here are some top tips for getting the family holiday you REALLY want, from Wendy Shand, founder of www.totstotravel.co.uk and mum of 3. 1. If you’re travelling with a group of friends or family, plan well ahead (ideally 12 months plus), as larger properties book up earlier. Also think about whether you’re compatible: Same budgets? Activity vs. lying by the pool? Sharing a kitchen? If you’re not sure, a cluster of smaller individual properties may be a better bet. 2. Start by writing a list of all the things you are looking for and your approximate budget. Do you want privacy or other families with whom to socialise and play? Flight or ferry? Pool or beach? 3. The younger your children, the more attention you should pay to the property itself. You’ll probably be spending more time at the property than you would with older kids so make sure it’s the kind of place you’re happy to spend a good chunk of time in. 4. Ask friends for recommendations of companies that they have used or properties they’ve stayed in. 5. When reading reviews, go for the grounded middle view. There will always be detractors and excitable cheerleaders. The reviews in the middle are likely to be the most accurate.
8. January is peak summer holiday booking season. Don’t faff! Availability changes hour on hour so avoid disappointment by making a swift decision once you have the facts. If you need weeks in July and August, this is even more true (the peak booking season for school summer holidays is December to February). 9. There’s little or no truth in the ‘last minute bargain holiday’ idea when it comes to peak weeks in the summer. Availability is very limited and you will be scratching around to find something that suits - flights/ferries are more expensive and car hire is limited. 10. Pay by credit card so that your purchase is secure.
6. Pick up the phone. By talking to someone – rather than just looking online - you can ask more questions to ensure the place you’re considering genuinely does suit your family requirements.
11. Organise your travel insurance at the same time so that if for any reason you can’t go then you’ll receive your money back.
7. Take advantage of extra services at the property to give yourself a proper break. A home-cooked meal delivered to your door or a babysitter for a couple of hours can make an enormous difference to how refreshed you will feel afterwards.
Tots to Travel specialises in genuinely child friendly holiday properties, hand-picked and vetted by a team of mums throughout Europe. For more top tips for travelling with tots, order your FREE copy of Wendy Shand’s booklet at www.totstotravel.co.uk.

Another Summer and Cricket Season beckons at Twinn’s Field, West Horsley Our junior section continues to thrive with no less than 19 colts teams from Under 8’s to under 17’s, an Academy side playing in the Surrey Trust Development League and for the first time, a girls team. There are some 300 youngsters, including mini’s involved and junior training now extends across both Thursday and Friday evenings, in addition to the mini’s on Sunday mornings. To cater for this number, the team of qualified coaches under Head Coach, Chris Smith, has expanded to no less than thirty. Apart from the Academy, youngsters aged 13/14 and 15, are being introduced gradually to adult cricket via the 4th and 3rd X1’s and the photograph shows Tehmoor Mahmood, David Goodchild (top left) and Tim Ozanne in the 4th X1’s final league match of last season. Also shown is Mike Catt as umpire. West Horsley born and bred, Mike has been a player since boyhood and Groundsman for almost as long!. Also in the team is Brian Wooler (bottom left) ,well known locally and the Captain, John Bingham, late of West Horsley and not to be confused with the long missing Lord Lucan, despite the family name and facial similarity! John has been a much admired playing member for the best part of 50 years and was recently given the honour of Life Membership for his services to the Club. All new members are welcome, and anyone interested in joining as an adult player (league or social) or as a social member please contact initially Geoff Rouse on 01483 284743 or geoff.rouse@hotmail.co.uk
