Travel Feature

November/December 2015 ď&#x201A;§ The Crowborough Directory

Summer has been a really busy time for travellers and I believe that a lot of this is due to our British Pounds going a lot further when travelling round Europe. The Euro is at a historically low point and travel here is less expensive now than it has been for a long time.

One Euro in summer 2014 exchanged at around 80 pence sterling. This summer it has come down to around 70 pence per Euro, over 12% less so even more for our money. As a result holidays to Europe remain popular with three of the top destinations during the summer period being Spain, Italy and Greece. Late summer sales were up by 22% and the exchange rate is encouraging more people to take advantage of the extra value. This includes the holiday expenses that usually increase the overall cost such as eating out, tours and souvenirs, which are now substantially cheaper. Train tickets, internal flights and even some flights from the UK have become less expensive too. As well as being able to make their money go further, my customers really appreciate the added value I provide as their own personal travel advisor. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important that I get to know them so I can tailor-make their holiday down to the finest detail, wherever in the world they want to go. Plus running my business from home means I am available whenever they need me. Many have told me you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a price on that and they are certainly happy that their money is going further when booking their European getaway too!

It’s all handmade at Magnolias at home fitting and hanging of your window dressing and this will all be detailed in your quote. Now that your windows look great, you might want to have chair covers or cushions to match, something which of course Di can make for you as she is a whizz on the sewing machine and can create just about anything.

Finding the perfect curtains or blinds for your home is not an easy task when you’re in a shop, away from the room in question, and hoping the bright store lights aren’t making fabrics look a different colour to what they will look like hanging in your window. Will they go with what you already have in your room and will they be the right size? To make sure you make the right choices with the right materials and colours, you could always get in an expert and Di from Magnolias at home is an extremely talented curtain and blind maker so you’ll end up with nothing but perfectly fitted curtains and blinds (and maybe even accessories to match). Di will visit you in your home, bringing with her a vast selection of fabric swatches and be able to help you choose the most suitable style of curtain or blind for your window. The most difficult part of the process will probably be choosing the actual fabric. Of course one of the big advantages of having your furnishings handmade is that you can really coordinate your home’s interior. It’s not just the huge selection of fabrics Di has access to but you can also select the most complimentary curtain poles or tracks for your window space at the same time. Part of the service also covers the

Magnolias at home also provide a furniture painting service so you can match your current furniture to fit in with your new fabrics. There is a free collection and delivery service (within a set distance) so you don’t have to worry about transport of these items yourself.

Before painting

After painting

Perhaps you have a favourite arm chair or other piece of furniture that has been worn to a thread over the years. Bring life back to it by having it re-upholstered. Just take a look at these chairs Di has worked on - I’m sure you’ll agree that they look fabulous.

Whether you’re after a new set of curtains for the lounge, chair covers for your dining room or a new blind for your bathroom, Di is able to make something completed fitted to your exact requirements. She can also work with fabric you provide if it is suitable for purpose.

If you would like to make an appointment with Di or find out more about the services on offer, call her on 01732 866 444.

I Care for Crowborough Crowborough Town Council’s “I Care for Crowborough” week was launched on the 21st September at Bluebell Wood with an army of volunteers ready to clean up Crowborough. Children from Ashdown Primary School, Town and District councillors, volunteers from Crowborough’s Waitrose store and Crowborough residents were among those who gave up their free time to help litter pick in the town. The Town Council organised a week of activities from litter picking, surveying blocked paths and dirty road signs to holding recycling information exhibitions. The week culminated in Wealden MP Nus Ghani joining the Southon Scout group who organised their own litter pick around Whitehill Road. Cllr Sandra Timms who initiated the idea said “A big thank you to everybody that took part. I am really pleased with the number of people that have demonstrated an interest.”

Your new Councillors Cllr Maggie Brain - West Ward I have lived in Crowborough since 1975 when my husband and I moved here and bought our first house. We then went on to have our three children so I have had a lot of first-hand experience of Crowborough’s maternity unit! I was pleased to help when the unit was under threat whilst I was pregnant with my third child and have always supported them in their campaigns since. Our children have all been to St Mary’s primary school here and then went on to St Gregory’s in Tunbridge Wells. I have seen Crowborough change through four decades but it has still retained its friendliness and sense of community. As I am a northerner by birth I thought it a great compliment when one of the health visitors referred to Crowborough as ‘the only northern town in the south of England.’ I am now retired with more time to give and I currently sit as a magistrate in Brighton. In the last few years I have seen Crowborough ‘abandoned’ by the local services. Wealden District Council has gone. The ambulance service has gone. The police presence has been reduced and our staff at the hospital are moved to keep other services running. On a positive note the building of the community centre has given a much needed boost to the town. I’m passionate about our beautiful countryside and wildlife. In Crowborough we are lucky to have an enthusiastic ranger in our country park who wants to engage with our schools and encourage our children to look at what goes on in the world around them. I’m ready to join the next pond-dipping session!

Cllr Greg Rose - East Ward I fell in love with Crowborough whilst house hunting across the Wealden area with my partner John. We eventually moved here from London in 2011 and quickly made East Ward our home alongside John’s elderly mother who also lives with us. As I work full time away from the town I really wanted to become more involved with the local community, and with a keen interest in politics I soon wanted to become a councillor. I am very proud to be elected District and Town councillor for Crowborough East. It’s an honour to represent the area in which I live. I am whole heartedly throwing myself into the role, dealing with issues as varied as pot holes, dog fouling and disabled parking bays. I also make a point of attending as many events as possible so that people know who their councillor is. As part of the Crowborough Conservative Branch I am delighted to have helped raise funds for Alderbrook Community Association, Jarvis Brook Community Centre and the High Weald Dementia Social Group; all of which do amazing work in our local community. I never knew who my councillors were or what they did before I took the decision to stand and that’s why I intend to remain visible, open and contactable to all those who may need me.
