Happy August!

I hope you’re having a great summer so far and are making the most of these long lazy days!

I’ve also been uncovering the bravery of Private Sidney Godley, who will be commemorated by a plaque in East Grinstead’s historic High Street, 100 years to the day after being awarded the Victoria Cross on Saturday 23rd August. Read all about it over the following pages.

To mark this East Grinstead is holding an Edwardian Garden Party on Sunday August 3rd in the grounds of East Court.

We’ll be re-living what would have been the last peacetime party and indeed events such as this would have been held in this same place back in 1914.

There will be the mellow sounds of our own East Grinstead Concert Band, traditional leisure pursuits with cream teas and a licensed bar. It’s a free event and you are all encouraged to come Simon Kerr, Tourism Officer, dressed up – just think like an East Grinstead. early episode of Downton Abbey!

Honouring Sidney Godley

On Saturday 23rd August, 100 years to the day since Private Sidney Godley from East Grinstead was awarded the Victoria Cross, the town will commemorate his bravery with the unveiling of the Sidney Godley Victoria Cross plaque in the High Street.

Private Godley was born in North End on 14th August 1889 and joined the Royal Fusiliers aged just twenty in 1909.

When war was declared in 1914, his battalion was one of the first to be deployed to France and later, Belgium, where on 23rd August, he bravely (and single-handedly) defended Nimy Railway Bridge in Mons for two hours, before being captured by the Germans and taken as a prisoner of war for over four years.

“Private Godley was just an ordinary man who in extraordinary circumstances helped save the lives of countless fellow men of his regiment with no thought to his outcome, selfless to the end, which fortunately had a happy ending if delayed by spending four years in a POW camp,” says Jeremy Clarke from Felbridge and District History Group.

“East Grinstead will be the first town in the UK to unveil one of these national plaques commemorating those who won the Victoria Cross, so expect some famous faces in the crowds and an appropriate fanfare and military presence,” Simon Kerr, Town Promotions Officer says. “It will be a spectacle that we will all be able to appreciate and talk about in the years

Saddle up for Air Ambulance Bike Ride Life-saving charity Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance is appealing for cyclists to sign up for this year’s Double 100 Cycle Challenge and help save lives during the day and at night.

The 100-mile or 100km bike ride will be held on Sunday 28th September, to mark the first anniversary of the launch of the night flying service which has benefitted up to 500 extra patients in just a year.

“Last year’s annual event raised more than £12,000 and we are aiming to double its success this year with two starting points at the helicopter bases at Marden and Redhill,” Jamie Cheshire from the charity, says.

“Both new circular routes will include all counties covered by the Air Ambulance and this year’s Double 100 has kindly been backed by main sponsor Fidelity Worldwide Investment who have a 34 strong team riding and are hopeful that figure will increase as more sign up for the ride,”

To register visit: www.kssairambulance.co.uk/ involved/double100 and for more information call Julie Clare on 01622 833833, or email juliec@kssairambulance.org.uk

Both routes (100 mile and 100km) will be passing through the picturesque Kent, Surrey and Sussex countrysides, to include Forest Row, Turners Hill, Copthorne and Lingfield, hoping to raise extra funds for the charity, which now needs to raise an extra £1million per year to fund the cost of a 24-hour service, taking the total to £6million required annually.

The ride is open to regular and occasional cyclists and has feeding stations along the routes.

LONDON TEMPLE ADVERTORIAL

Family History Seminar Series The London Temple Visitors’ Centre enthusiastically invites members of all faiths to attend its first annual Family History Seminar Series. Our keynote speaker is Dr. Nick Barratt, host of the popular BBC production, Who Do You Think You Are? Dr. Barratt will inaugurate the series on Wednesday, 24 September, at 7:30 p.m. by speaking to the subject of “The Future of Family History.”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that the family is the most important unit in this life and the next.

Family history strengthens family units by creating identities that span many generations. Those identities emerge when we use the challenges and successes our forebears experienced to overcome our own challenges and create our own successes.That could mean we learn from their mistakes and improve our lives, or that we learn from their success and model their lives, or that we do both.

By nature we feel a connection to our progenitors and to our descendants.

The Old Testament prophet Malachi said that God would send Elijah to turn the “heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers…” (Malachi 4: 6).

This six-week series of lectures at the London Temple Visitors’ Centre will teach us how to enhance our heart-to-heart connections in our families.

Please join us. All lectures are on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. and are free to the public.

Additional information and updates will be available on the London Temple Visitors’ Centre Facebook page.

August Adventures

It’s estimated that children growing up today spend less than half of the time their parents did playing outside. With that in mind, it’s time to switch off that television, put down that games console and embrace the great outdoors this August for some great family fun!

Here’s a few ideas to make the most of those long and lazy summer days: Pack a Picnic - Whether you take your picnic to an idyllic countryside spot or place your picnic mat in the garden, alfresco eating is a great way of doing lunch a little differently during the school holidays.

Encourage the kids to get involved by packing their favourite picnic foods and outdoor toys, for a few hours of outdoor adventures.

Countryside Cycle - Get some fresh air into those lungs with some pedal power. Hop on your bikes and explore our many local cycle ways for an energising afternoon that both big and little kids alike, will enjoy.

Outdoor Activities - If you fancy a full day out, why not head to one of our areas National Trust sites?

From Wakehurst Place in Ardingly to Uckfield’s Sheffield Park, East Grinstead-based Standen House to Leith Hill in Dorking, there’s always an exciting array of family-friendly events going on! To find your nearest National Trust site, visit: www.nationaltrust.org.uk.

Garden Group - Invite friends and their children over for a playdate with a difference! Hold an outdoor crafting session or go green-fingered with a spot of gardening – educational and fun for all involved. End the afternoon on a high with a water fight, just don’t forget to ask everyone to bring their swimsuits!

Men’s Health

Have you checked under your bonnet lately?

This year I have been invited to undertake a car challenge called Club Lemons.

I’m not driving a new car.

If I had to describe my vehicle, it’s a bit like myself; been around for a while and bits are starting to show wear and tear!

Now you men out there what I want to ask is, how many of you religiously take your car for a service once a year?

A vast majority will say yes.

Let me now ask you how often you go to your local health clinic for a men’s health check?

I can imagine a lot of you right now, are heads down, avoiding this subject.

Let me liken your health check to a service on your car.

24 - HEALTH AND BEAUTY

Your engine has been running a bit sluggishly, getting up the hills is a bit more of an effort, so in a car we head in for a tune up. Regular blood pressure checks can ensure our heart (engine) is firing on all cylinders with no blockages in the pipe work.

The lights on your dashboard keep telling you that your system is on overload.

Our well being (stress levels) can be measured in a similar way to be a car being plugged in to check its electrical system.

Advisories can then be given to be help reduce overloads by outside assistance or suggestions on adjustment of lifestyle.

Finally, and just as importantly, is how we power these machines.

R H UNCOVERED

We’d never consider putting petrol in a diesel, or vice versa.

Yet we take risks with our bodies. We fuel it with substances that have damaging effects both short and long term.

Isn’t it about time you treated your vehicle, your body, well?

These have to last us a lifetime, yet we treat them carelessly.

Make a note in your diary for that yearly MOT. Maybe at the same time as you book your car in?

In years to come would you rather be running on all cylinders or with a few that should have been attended to years ago?

Home-Made Burgers All you need to know!

It’s the barbecue season and nothing tastes better than delicious home-made char-grilled burgers. Follow these top tips for the best burgers around…

• Always choose good quality premium minced steak for the best flavour but pick one that has some fat in it – don’t buy extra lean mince as the burgers will dry out too much during cooking. Try asking your local butcher to mince some rump or chuck steak with about 20% fat content. For four quarter pounder burgers you’ll need 500g mince.

• Mince is fairly bland so you’ll need to add plenty of flavouring.

Grated or very finely chopped onion and minced garlic form the basic flavouring but you add whatever dried or fresh herb, spice or seasoning you like. You’ll need to add 5-10ml (1-2tsp) salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper too.

• A handful of fresh breadcrumbs and a little beaten egg will also bind the mince together and prevent the burgers from breaking up during cooking. Whizz all the ingredients in a food processor until the mixture starts holding together or use clean hands to mix as thoroughly as possible.

• Shape the burgers into round flat discs with wetted hands. To get perfectly round shapes press the mixture into a metal pastry cutter.

Don’t over handle the burgers or they will be tough and dry when cooked.

• Ensure that burgers are cooked all the way through and there is no pinkness in the middle. To check this press the burger down with a fish slice – if there are pink juices oozing out then cook for a few more minutes.

• If you want a change from the classic sesame seed bun why not serve the cooked burgers on top of wedges of toasted ciabatta bread spread with a little mustard mayo or pack into warmed and split pitta breads with salad or coleslaw.

• Try a fresh tomato relish instead of ketchup.

Just peel and finely dice a couple of ripe plum tomatoes and mix with a little olive oil, fresh chopped basil, a pinch of sugar and salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Your Plants Don’t Want a ‘Holiday’

If you’re going on holiday shortly, don’t forget that your garden and plants will appreciate some TLC before you leave. Time spent sorting out your plants will help keep them going and make your house look less abandoned in your absence whilst you’re away.

Make sure you take care of your lawn. Give it a thorough mowing, cutting it short but without ‘scalping’ it. Take a pair of lawn edging shears, a half-moon edger or simply a sharp spade and neaten all the edges, including those next to flower beds. Edging lasts far longer than mowing, it will stop the lawn moving into the flower beds and make the grass appear more recently maintained.

Make sure that all plants, especially those in containers and those forming fruit are fed well. Liquid feeds have the speediest response but controlled release fertiliser granules will last for longer. If you use a dry or granular feed, make sure that you water it well unless rain is expected.

Persuade a friend or neighbour to pop in and do some watering and suggest they pick the sweet-peas and harvest some veg so you’ll both benefit.

54 - Gardens

A good, thorough watering of the garden will mean that plants in open ground should be unharmed by hot weather for a good while. Plants in pots and tubs are totally reliant on you if there isn’t much rain, so make these your priority.

Many plants cease flowering if faded flowers are left and allowed to start to form seeds, so remove every faded bloom before you leave. I suggest ‘dead heading’ not only the faded flowers, but also those just starting to fade. A sharp pair of scissors or just your finger and thumb should do the trick.

Hanging baskets are invariably in the hottest, sunniest spots in the garden and with their roots in the air they are especially prone to drought. Unless they will be regularly watered, it’s best to carefully lower hanging baskets and stand each one on its own pot in a shady spot where it will dry out less quickly.

Try to position more drought tolerant patio plants towards the outer edge of the group, and drought prone plants towards the cooler centre.

Make sure that your garden sheds and other storage areas are properly secured however it’s worth giving the padlock keys to a neighbour, just in case they need anything.

Ladders, mattocks, spades and other items that could be used to break into your house should be removed or locked away out of sight so that they don’t encourage burglary.

Finally check that any new outbreaks of pests or diseases are treated or dealt with before you go. Leave a handful of whitefly in your greenhouse, or a few greenfly on your roses, and there may well be a full-scale disaster zone when you return!

By Pippa Greenwood www.pippagreenwood.com

Planters and patio pots lose moisture very readily especially if the weather is hot or windy. By carefully grouping the pots together in one place you’ll create shade around the roots of the pots, reducing the risk of drought and heat damage.

In fact during the busy summer months I had to take on extra help to cover the jobs that came from enquiries from the magazines!

I have stopped all my other advertising now as your magazines cover a wide local area, allowing me to get plenty of local business from just one source.
