Welcome to the summer issue of the Family Grapevine for the Mid Surrey area. It has been a very busy time for me since the last magazine in March. We are now on a countdown to my daughter’s wedding in early August and getting more excited with each passing week! I have learnt that there can be many unforeseen hurdles to rock the boat during all the planning, but we are nearly there - and it will be wonderful.

The Family Grapevine group continues to thrive and this is despite reports that people generally don’t want to read the printed word. It is my experience that people still love holding a book or magazine, being able to pick it up and flick through and in the case of the Grapevine, it can always be on hand to refer to.

As always there are a lot of children’s activities listed and advertised that run free sessions for little ones, to make sure your child is happy before you commit. There are adverts with discount offers, school open dates for your diary and so much more. There are events on pages 42 and 43, with many more on the website. These are constantly updated as new information comes in, so do keep checking. I wish you all a very happy summer, Genevieve Arlidge - Editor Grapevine Media Works Ltd Tel: 01372 209200 Email: genevieve@thefamilygrapevine.co.uk Web: www.thefamilygrapevine.co.uk/mid-surrey

You care for your kids, we’ll come and care for your cat.

THE CAT DOCTOR AT - HOME VETERINARY CARE

With a little careful planning, you can maximize your outdoor space so that even in the smallest garden your children can enjoy the summer months without having to go to the local playground.

Kids can join in the barbecue fun with a wooden picnic bench style play table; perfect for outdoor eating, painting and drawing, then remove the lid to reveal a sandpit which can also be used for waterplay.

Indulge in a family fun game of giant connect four, space saving fun guaranteed to entertain children of all ages (even mum and dad).

TP’s lovely wooden Castlewood Playtower fits perfectly in most gardens.

The six-sided shape provides lots of entry and exit points for great play value and fun activity. A ladder leads to a spacious covered platform and the shaded play area with bench seats at the base is ideal for a sandpit. Even a table tennis table folds up very quickly for easy storage – highly addictive and great fun for young and old! Lots of ideas and more at northparkfarm.co.uk or come and see our huge display area and try before you buy.

Want your children to be more involved in your cat’s care?

Everybody loves a kitten, but as time goes on some children lose interest in the family pet. To get your kids more involved, try the following ideas.

• Cats often enjoy being brushed, so teach your child to gently groom your cat’s coat • Ask your child to feed the cat - dry biscuits can even be scattered across the floor for your cat to chase • Take your children along to your cat’s veterinary appointments, or arrange a

home visit to get the whole family involved Learning how to gently handle and care for cats encourages kindness and a sense of responsibility, and will result in a happier cat too.

Amy Bergs DVM MRCVS runs The Cat Doctor, a mobile service providing veterinary care to cats in the comfort of their own home.

Maybe you are a Phubber yourself and think it’s perfectly acceptable? It’s not a label that can be specifically aimed at a particular age group, so this is not a dig at youngsters.

If a parent is a Phubber, children will assume this is acceptable behaviour...

Phubbing, aka ‘snubbing someone in a social setting by looking at/using their phone’, is one of the more irritating examples of thoughtlessness and lack of basic good manners. A brief and concise chat can turn into a long winded, disjointed ‘can’t remember what we were saying’ conversation, simply because someone is constantly looking at their phone.

Support groups against this modern day example of bad manners are springing up. The campaign against Phubbers started in Australia and has really gathered momentum across the globe. If you are irritated by this habit, don’t ignore it, tell the people you are with and let’s try and bring some basic good manners back into the way we communicate.

READER recommendATION from Kate P. Face Paint by Sarah Haddon Why do you recommend this to other families?

Sarah Haddon did the face painting at my daughters 4th birthday party. Sarah was extremely efficient and professional and had an amazing array of face paints.

The faces painted looked fantastic - very impressive, but I also appreciated her calm, friendly manner and the way she put the children at ease some of whom were quite shy.

I have also seen Sarah Haddon working at school fetes and Christmas fairs and I have been impressed with the quality of face painting and the speed at which she is able to work!

Highly recommended!

Children can sign up at their local library now and all materials are absolutely free.

The Summer Reading Challenge is open to all school children from 12th July and is designed for all reading abilities.

‘Surrey Reads’ presents an opportunity for the rest of the family to enrol in a summer reading challenge.

Whether they finish two, four or six books, teens and adults will be entered into a prize draw and could win WH Smith or iTunes vouchers for as much as £60.

Pebble’s reading adventure is available all year round for the under 5’s and they too shall receive a prize on their 6th library visit.

This year’s theme – Mythical Maze, challenges children aged four to eleven to find their way around a labyrinth that introduces them to fantastical creatures, collecting stickers of each character along the way.

Children can chat, get reading recommendations and enter competitions on our Summer Reading Challenge website www.summerreadingchallenge.org.uk Mythical Maze is all FREE fun, which is great news for parents! So mums, dads and carers, go down to your local library and help your children discover a love of stories, while they maintain and develop their reading skills over the holidays.
