Showtime In West Hoathly! Following a successful show two-years-ago, West Hoathly School Association and the Seasoned Sausage Company are organising a second game fair and country show on Saturday, June 3. By Rachel Whitlam
T
he ethos behind the show is to provide the local community with an affordable, educational and fun day out while raising funds for the village school and some local charities who help with the show. Many families are unable to afford to go to the larger and established country fairs, so the aim is to offer an alternative. Entry is £5.00 for adults and free to under 16’s with free parking at the showground. In 2015, the show was held on the village recreation ground, but due to a large number of visitors and the increase in events for 2017 means the show has been moved to a larger site on Hook Lane. On Friday, June 2, The Fox pub will be serving drinks in the beer tent from 7.00pm to 11.000pm, and the band Kilda Street will be playing live from 9.00pm. Entry for adults is £1.00, to cover the band costs. On Saturday, June 3, there is a full timetable of events in the main arena, including a fun dog show, tug of war, welly wanging, horse and hound demonstration and bird of prey displays.
There will be traditional and rural craft demonstrations to watch including chainsaw carving demonstrations. Adults and children can try the have-a-go 4/10 clay shoot stand, run by Will Buckley. The Young Farmers will be holding their popular terrier racing, and you can have a go at ferret racing or handling a ferret. You can also walk with llamas from the local llama park. If you fancy a bit of shopping, there will be lots of stalls to browse, including country clothing and shooting accessories, art and crafts, food and drink, jewellery and lots of children’s entertainments. The National Organisation for Beaters (NOBS), the British Deer Society, and The National Gamekeepers Organisation (NGO) will also be there to educate you about their countryside work. Following the big day in the village, on the evening of Saturday, June 3, there will be a barn dance from 8.00pm onwards in the beer tent, with hot food available, tickets cost £5.00. For more information, visit the show’s website: www. westhoathlycountryshow.com or email: countryshow@westhoathly.com, or follow on Twitter: @westhoathlyshow All proceeds from the show are donated to the village school and local charities who help on the day.

‘Dear Lorne’…
The Story of a Canadian Soldier in Sussex In 1943, 11-year-old Peter Hunter was knocked down walking home from school, near Uckfield, by a motorcycle. It resulted in a broken leg, and a stay in the local Cottage Hospital, but also an unexpected friendship with 19-year-old Canadian dispatch rider, Lance Corporal Lorne Andrew Marr.
K
By Rachel Whitlam
nown only to Peter as ‘Lorne’, sadly, the friendship was short-lived, as he was killed in France the following August. However, this wasn’t the end of the story. Almost 50 years later, after rediscovering a photo of Lorne during a house move, East Grinstead based retired police detective, Peter, set about a different sort of detective work. After making enquiries, Peter was able to trace Lorne’s surname, rank and service number, and found that his grave was in the Canadian memorial cemetery in Calais. The details were scant, and no information on Lorne’s family was available. Following an extensive search through correspondence with the Records Office and Canadian veterans, he established that 267 men from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlander of Canada Regiment had been killed, two of whom were called Lorne.

www.rhuncovered.co.uk
Using the old photo, Peter was able to identify ‘his’ Lorne as Lance Corporal Lorne Andrew Marr. After visiting his grave in France, it was many years later that Peter received a phone call from Lorne’s nephew and his wife from Canada. The pair travelled to Calais with Peter to pay their respects. Peter learnt that Lorne was one of six siblings and something of a prolific letter writer, who left many messages for his family, which remain to this day - the last one was sent from France, a week before his death. Inspired by the friendship, and the passing of such a young man, Peter has written and published a short book, written in the form of letters. Peter describes Lorne’s gifts of cigarette cards and chewing gum, brought to him at the hospital and the fact that it was Peter’s father, PC Hunter, who took a statement after the accident.
RH Uncovered
@RHUncovered
There are stories of army dances with Peter’s mother playing the accordion and Peter and Lorne fishing together for trout. Driven by propaganda, Peter wanted to keep a look out for any German spies who might land by parachute, dressed as nuns. In one memory, Peter’s father seemed to anticipate the danger that Lorne was in, and warned him to, ‘Get rid of that blasted machine. A dispatch rider is a sniper’s dream.’ As suddenly as they had arrived, the Canadians were gone. They left overnight, and there was no chance for the family to say goodbye. It was only the officer, who later called to the Hunters home to collect Lorne’s camera, which gave the news of the young man’s death.

COVER STORY
Go Wild!
Discover Wakehurst’s Wild Woods There promises to be a raft of amazing things to experience at Wakehurst’s Wild Wood Festival between Saturday, May 27 and Monday, May 29. This is a chance for the whole family to get out into the woods and immerse themselves in all the magic the woods have to offer. By Jacob White
W
Children will love lighting fires, taking part in hands-on crafts and letting off steam at Treetrunk Trek. They will also adore taking a close-up look at nature in the dropin photography workshop or making a mark on the woodland art wall. Tree climbing is always the most popular activity for the adventurous, run by fully-trained climbing experts with the relevant safety checked rope systems.
akehurst is home to a world-famous botanic garden and Millennium Seed Bank – one of the world’s largest seed conservation projects. As well as paying homage to flora and fauna, what you might not know is what lies just beyond - an incredible 500 acres of ancient managed woodland and the stunning Loder Valley Nature Reserve – waiting to be discovered and explored. This year’s Wild Wood Festival will be held in Pearceland Wood, which is only open for a few months a year to keep it free from damage and encourage natural growth to flourish. Here, you will be able to get hands-on as you nestle in a giant dormouse nest or burrow into a badger’s sett of coppiced hazel.You can also gather round a woodland kiln to see the sparks fly or, you can rest in the woodland shelter to eat from the outdoor oven.
Woodsmen will be at work making all sorts of interesting objects and a Wakehurst arborist will demonstrate the art of coppicing while explaining the lifecycle of the woodland in which they work. The importance of conservation is a serious theme running through each day and visitors hear what Kew is doing to protect woodlands all over the world, so future generations can enjoy them.
After all that full-on and super-charged high-octane activity there will be plenty of time to chill out and relax with tales of folklore from days and theatre. A picnic area, a pop-up woodland café and a campside barbeque will make sure everyone is well fed and watered and that nobody goes hungry on their visit to the woods.
A Wakehurst day admission ticket includes entry to the Wild Wood Festival. Normal garden admissions prices apply – Adults £12.50, Children (16 and under) free. Some activities incur extra cost (cash only). For more information, visit: www.kew.org/wildwood

What’s on at Wakehurst
Recovery from the Great Storm of 1987 In the year of the 30th anniversary of The Great Storm, Wakehurst is celebrating the incredible regeneration of its woodlands.
Guided walking tour
Every day at 11.30am - Free
Secret Structures exhibition – inside the story of plants and fungi
On the night of the October 15/16 1987 winds gusting up to 115mph ravaged the South of England and the Wakehurst landscape was devastated with the loss of more than 20,000 trees.
(Held in the Atrium of the Millennium Seed Bank) Opened: April 7 Free
After replanting, Wakehurst is looking better than ever. This year their events, school holiday activities and guided walks all have a theme of encouraging visitors to learn more about the woods. In fact for Wakehurst the Great Storm could be seen as a blessing in disguise, it meant a virtual clean slate for their arborists and the start of phytogeographic planting in our woodlands. Trees were planted according to areas of the world that they are native to, meaning that the areas have been planted to respect geology and topography rather than political boundaries.

Summer Skin Care Essentials Summer is a time to get outdoors and enjoy the sun but remember there are things to keep in mind when it comes to your skin – the hot and humid days can take their toll if you do not take extra care. By Jacob White
H
ere are some skin care essential tips to keep in mind this summer to help keep you safe in the sun. If you like to bronze, remember to let it happen gradually over a series of days. Exposing yourself to intense sun for long periods for the sake of getting a quick tan can have serious effects on your skin, not to mention the risk of sunburn and sunstroke. Use a sun tan lotion with an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of at least 30 to protect your skin. Drink Water! At least eight glasses of water-a-day is recommended. Carry a bottle of water with you and drink from it regularly throughout the day, by doing so you will help prevent dehydration, wash out toxins from your body and ensure you are at your hydrated best!
Insect repellents are a must if you are planning to travel abroad this summer but even at home on sultry days the heat brings mosquitoes and many other biting insects! Stay feeling fresh and cool by taking a misting bottle of water with you, whether going to work, to the beach or shopping, use to give your face and body a freshening cool off. Exfoliation is a good idea in summer as dead cells clog up your pores and can cause spots. Use a scrub which will not dry your skin too much. Don’t forget your feet! They are on show now more than any other time of the year, use a foot scrub. Massage this into your feet and legs in a gentle upward motion to exfoliate dry skin before applying moisturiser. Apply body oil on heels at night, then pop on some cotton socks and leave on overnight.
Raising Awareness
Melanoma rates in the UK have more than quadrupled in the past 30 years, however many of us still don’t understand the need, or have the motivation to use sun protection regularly or check skin for signs of change and danger signs. The Watch Your Back! campaign is raising awareness by promoting the following simple advice: Protect: Wear SPF30 sunscreen, sleeves, a hat and seek shade between 11.00am and 3.00pm Detect: Regularly check skin for changes and know what to look out for Prevent: Melanoma and other skin cancers but enjoy your time outside

CHILDREN
Giving Your Child The Gift Of Music The benefits of giving your child the gift of music are great in number! Amongst them, your child will develop a new skill, they will be given the opportunity to write, perform and generally enrich their life in a way many other hobbies do not offer and the benefits are not limited to visible payoffs! By Jacob White “I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.” Billy Joel
F
rom the first time your child picks up a musical instrument through to the day they finally crack that legendary solo, they are benefitting in so many ways that at first you might not realise but we have a list of just some of the ways that your child can benefit from the gift of music. Increased Memory Skills Learning to play a musical instrument teaches a child how to create, store and retrieve memories more effectively. An Understanding Of Perseverance And Sense Of Achievement Learning to play a musical instrument takes time and practice and under tuition from a professional tutor, your child will be set short and long term goals – they will need perseverance to achieve the goals but once they do they will feel a sense of achievement. Improved Co-Ordination Playing a musical instrument requires the brain to work at high speeds, reading music is

converted in the brain to the physical motion of playing the instrument and children who play musical instruments often have improved hand-eye co-ordination. Improved Maths Skills Playing a musical instrument may appear to be a creative act but there are actually many parallels to maths. Music and maths are interwoven – by understanding beat, rhythm and scales, children are learning to divide, create fractions and recognise patterns. Improved Reading Learning and playing music requires constant reading and understanding, children need to identify a note on a page and recognise which note to play, how long to hold it, what finger to use and how loud to play it.
RH Uncovered
@RHUncovered
An understanding Of Responsibility Most musical instruments require maintenance – anything from oiling to tuning. Encouraging your child to stay on top of maintenance creates a level of responsibility for them and when they are responsible for something they are more likely to take care of it. Exposure To Culture And History Music is often a reflection of the culture and era it was written. Exposing a child to multiple types of musical genres allows them to glimpse into the past. Understanding the origins of music can give a child a deeper appreciation of what they are playing. Improved Social Skills Depending on the musical instrument, if your child plays their musical instrument in a group setting they are required to play together and collaborate, interacting with other children giving them the opportunity to make friends and relate to others.

How To Add Kerb Appeal To Your House First impressions count – you might be surprised to learn that it only takes a quick spruce up at the front of your house to add some serious kerb appeal. By Jacob White
A
ccording to property experts, it takes on average no more than eight seconds for potential buyers to decide whether or not they like a house. Whether you are selling or not, a tidy entrance, neat drive and rubbish-free front garden all help to make a good and welcoming first impression.
It is estimated that an attractive garden can add thousands to the selling price, while a neglected plot can knock money off. Make sure your front garden entices potential buyers and general visitors through the front door, rather than send them heading in the opposite direction.
Opening Doors A lick of paint can work wonders for your street cred. Strip off blistered and cracked paint and fill any cracks! A strong colour on the front door makes a real statement – current favourites include matt finishes in dark grey and dark aubergine. Let There Be Light! Front doors need light, for safety and for practical reasons – security lights activated as you approach are available in a variety of styles. Other lighting options include lanterns or a single statement light which can be fitted to a porch. Make Sure It Is No Façade A tidy façade is a welcoming one so repaint, re-point and render over ugly brickwork where necessary. Colours should be in keeping with the period of the house and other houses on the street – if you live in a conservation area keep this in mind! Your Window On The World If your windows are dirty that can scream that your property is uncared for, so ensure they are kept clean. Rotten window frames should be replaced in a design that suits the rest of the house – if painted make sure the colour complements the brick or stonework.

Driveway To Hell? It might appear to be simple advice but remove rubbish, sweep up leaves and tidy trees and border hedges. Touch up paths and the driveways where needed by cementing loose tiles and slabs and remove any weeds between slabs. Your Number Is Up! Again, simple but effective! Always make sure that your house number is clear – whether on the door, on a plaque, on a wall or on the garden gate your house number should be clearly visible for visitors from the roadside. Front Garden Accessories A house is ultimately a home and as a result there will be items constantly outdoors but some simple tricks make a world of different! Hide bins and recycling boxes neatly behind screens and pile fire wood in purpose-built log stores.

Open Your Garden For Charity
Are you green-fingered? Do you enjoy doing your bit for a good cause? If your response is yes to both questions, have you thought about opening your garden for charity? It is simple and can be rewarding. This year marks the 90th birthday of the National Gardens Scheme so what better time to get involved? By Jacob White
T
he National Gardens Scheme has a rich and fascinating history, since 1927 it has raised more than £45 million for nursing and caring charities across the UK. Its origins stretch back to 1850s Liverpool and a merchant by the name of William Rathbone who employed a nurse to care for his wife at their home. After his wife’s death, Rathbone kept the nurse on to help the local poor and sick and he would go on to raise funds for the recruitment, training and employment of nurses to go into deprived areas of the city, based on this idea of local nursing district nursing spread across the country as a voluntary organisation. Following the death in 1926 of the organisation’s patron Queen Alexandra a council member came up with the idea of raising money for charity by asking people to open their gardens to visitors and asking for a small entry fee that would be donated – the next year the National Gardens Scheme was founded.

The Garth in Lingfield is once again opening its garden gates to the public as part of the National Gardens Scheme. The gardens will be open on Saturday, May 13 and Sunday, May 14 between 2.00pm and 5.30pm. Entrance donations go to the National Gardens Scheme with all profits from refreshments going to St Catherine’s Hospice. Last year, The Garth raised £1,481 for the scheme and £472 for St Catherine’s Hospice in Crawley.

Open Your Garden
If you are wondering whether your garden is worth visiting ask yourself the following few questions – Is it interesting? Is it attractive? Is it well-maintained? Has it got ‘character’? Can you offer refreshments? Do you enjoy talking about your garden? Are you ready for an enjoyable and inspiring day? Many of the gardens part of the scheme are small back gardens that have been made special by hard work, skill and the love of gardening. Visitors like to see interesting planning and design and a range of plants and also enjoy talking to the owners and a cup of tea almost never goes amiss!
