The Mid Surrey Family Grapevine Area

Photo of Editor

It’s come around again...’X’ number of sleeps before Christmas!

Hardly have the children settled back into school, than we are treated to the daunting sight of supermarket aisles brimming with giant tins of goodies, and shelves packed to the hilt with specially packaged sauces and culinary adornments. It’s amazing how a label showing a sprig of holly or some festive squiggles, can entice you to buy something you’d never dream of any other time of year!

But isn’t that what it’s all about? A time to push the boat out, let your hair down, break out the family traditions, forget the mundane day to day trials and tribulations - and just have fun? No, that isn’t what Christmas is all about, but it’s a good part of it. Having great family times, sharing some laughs and hopefully entering a new year relaxed and happy. And with a bit of time to spare before the countdown to the number of sleeps starts again!

This magazine covers far more than Christmas - a great big 4 months worth of information either here or on the website (possibly even both!). It’s not full of do’s and dont’s and anecdotes, you won’t laugh out loud as you read through the pages, but you will find a wealth of valuable local information. Happy 4 months,

AT - HOME VETERINARY CARE

Cats and kids – Maintain a feline-friendly home Bringing a baby home can have a big impact on your cat’s life, especially if your cat was previously your only ‘child’. But with a little effort, kids of all ages and cats can live happily together.

Here are a few tips to help keep the peace:

years in Oxshott 01372 843833

www.trenchard-arlidge.co.uk

Cobham Office: 01932 864242

1) Stick to your cat’s usual feeding, petting and outdoor

routines as much as possible 2) Increase your cat’s vertical space by providing some wall

shelves, or clear the top of a bookcase or wardrobe for them to claim as their own 3) Teach older children to stay quiet and calm around the cat and pet nicely 4) Use Feliway - plug a diffuser into their favourite (or every) room 5) Encourage your children to help feed and take care of your cat These and other simple steps can make a big difference. Your cat will thank you!

I CAN’S CHATTERBOX CHALLENGE IS BACK!

Tick Tock

Did you know that there’s a golden age for learning to talk – before a child is 5 ½ years old? Singing songs together and learning rhymes and actions is a great way to help children develop vital communication skills.

This is why I CAN, the children’s communication charity, has launched the annual Chatterbox Challenge sing-along based on songs, noises and even silence. With sponsorship from Openreach and TTS, and the support of Humf from the Nick Jr.TV show, I CAN are calling on parents and carers to encourage their child’s early years setting to get involved.

Sounds like fun with Humf develops the communication skills of children under 5 through songs and rhymes in early years settings across the UK. Children are sponsored to perform in front of families and carers and the majority of events will be held in Chatterbox Challenge Week from 10-16th February 2014.

Register today at www.chatterboxchallenge.org.uk for a free activity and fundraising pack.

Ante/Postnatal and Babies Calling all pregnant ladies!

What’s happening? Face painters from all over the country are offering mumsto-be the chance to be painted for Children In Need until the end of November for the very low price of just £5.

Come and celebrate your pregnancy by having a beautiful design created and painted on your baby bump and also contribute to a wonderful charity at the same time.

How does it work? The mums-to-be pay the painter £5 which goes towards the cost of the paint, on the condition that they ask all their friends and family to sponsor the painter to do it. Sponsorship forms are supplied and the suggestion donation is £20. Normal price ranges from £25 - £60, so grab a bargain while you can!

The design doesn’t have to be related to Children In Need, it is entirely up to the mum-to-be!

Bookham Toddler Group wins top award

Local mums Pippin Hackett and Rachel Slater are celebrating after Bookham Toddler Group was named one of the best in the area in the UK’s biggest parenting competition.

The group which runs at The Old Barn Hall in Bookham, every Tuesday during term time from 9.45am-11.30am, is open to children aged from 0-5years. It has been running for 30 years and is a firm favourite with local mums.

Parents have commented that the group is special to them for its ‘friendly atmosphere, great range of activities for kids and for putting a smile on the face of everyone who attends.’

Pippin Hackett said: We are delighted to have won. It’s an award for everyone involved in Bookham Toddler Group. We try hard to make the group the best it can be and are so pleased to have been recognised for all our work.”

Ceramica celebrates 10 years trading!

Hannah Young of Ceramica, has celebrated 10 years as a successful independent shop in The Parade, Claygate.

To celebrate her milestone anniversary, Hannah held a rainbow themed party for friends, family, traders and customers past and present; over 176 adults, teens, children, toddlers and babies came out to celebrate, including the Mayor and Mayoress of Elmbridge.

“I can honestly say, there is no place I’d rather be running my business from, “ said Hannah. It’s been a real privilege to see so many of the children of Claygate grow and develop over the years; in particular, it’s been great fun to see their artistic skills flourish”.

Hannah’s loyal customers summed up their experiences in the guest book at the celebratory party, all leaving messages of support and congratulations.

Hannah at Ceramica will look forward to welcoming you anytime you’d like to pop in. The shop is open Monday-Saturday from 10am – 6pm and for parties and group bookings on Sundays.

Choccy Apples!

These fun and easy to make chocolate apples are a wonderful sweet treat for this time of year! Perfect for Bonfire night parties and any special treat, they are a great twist on the more traditional toffee apple.

: ill need w u o y What kewers

S Wooden ples 6 x Ap Chocolate Milk hite or 400g W upcake cases ets or C e mall sw ent of s rations m t r o s s A deco edible

How to make: First wash and dry the apples, remove the stalks and turn them upside down onto a plate.

Carefully pierce the apples with a skewer through the base in the very centre and push the skewer through the apple so that it is securely attached to it and there is enough sticking out to be used as a hand hold.

Boil a kettle and carefully pour a small amount of water into a bowl or container. Place a slightly smaller bowl inside the one with the water in, being careful that no water overflows as you do so.

Break up the chocolate into the smaller container and stir until it’s melted.

Very carefully dip each apple into the chocolate until they are fully coated, and place each one onto a cupcake case.

Once dipped leave your apples to sit for a minute or two (but not too long or the chocolate will set too much!). Once you are ready use any of your decorations to create some yummy looking and tasty apples! I made mine with a selection of smarties, dolly mix and strawberry laces and had excellent help from my good friend Annabel, who was very good at fitting lots of sweets on to one single apple!

Once decorated leave for a few hours so that the chocolate sets, and enjoy with family and friends!

Bye for now!

Address: Weston Green, Thames Ditton, KT7 0JP Email: greyhoundwestongreen@gmail.com

We love patatas bravas. Adore gambas pil-pil. And could eat chorizo every day of the week! Despite this - and being thoroughly inspired by Tapas when creating our food menu - you won't find any of those ingredients when you come to the Greyhound!

Our Winter menu includes free range chicken thigh in a tarragon sauce, pork and beef meatballs in an exquisite gravy and mini Yorkshire puddings with smoked trout and horseradish pate. Come and try our opening offer of home smoked Scottish salmon on Irish

wheaten bread with Welsh butter and a glass of Nyetimber English Sparkling Wine, all for £8.50. You can't get more British than that!

The food we serve offers the convenience of small plates that can be served quickly without compromising on quality or freshness.

For our younger customers out for a lovely meal with the grown-ups, we have plenty of dishes that they will love, such as our breadcrumbed chicken and ketchup.

We promise a warm welcome every time you visit, so whether you choose to eat with us, or just come for drinks, we hope to see you soon.

T: 020 8398 1155 greyhoundwestongreen@gmail.com www.thegreyhoundpub.co.uk

Beautiful wine selection, fantastic British Cask Ales with seasonal guest beers on the pump and a wide range of quality spirits.

Delicious Tapas inspired British Small Plate menu, light bites or dishes to share.
