What’s on in East Grinstead High summer here in East Grinstead, and with the long school holidays upon us many will be making their way to foreign fields or perhaps like us staying nearer to home this year. If you are around and about the town this month we have several large events to enjoy.

The East Grinstead Lions Donkey Derby returns on Sunday 19th July from 12 until 5 in King George’s Field.

Then the Midsummer Market returns to London Road on Saturday 25th of July and the section of London Road between the traffic lights and the High Street will be closed to traffic and filled

with small rides and lots of stalls – including the welcome return of the famous French Market.

The next day on Sunday 26th of July from 1pm to 5 pm the first outdoor Jazz Festival takes place in the park like grounds of East Court.

The line-up is an eclectic mix of jazz genres all geared to a mellow afternoon chilling out in the park. A BBQ and a pay bar will be on site and this Free event ends with the dynamic Jive Aces as the closing act.

Simon Kerr Towns Promotions Manager

Big Road Ride Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or prefer a more leisurely ride, St Catherine’s Hospice wants YOU to join them for their Big Road Ride on Sunday 19th July.

Starting and finishing at Imberhorne School, all routes (60, 40 or 10 miles) are on marshalled roads and cycle paths, with feeding stations enabling riders to refuel along the way!

“The Big Road Ride is a fantastic, fun event for all abilities and levels of cycling enthusiasm,” Michaela Clements, Assistant Events Fundraiser at St Catherine’s Hospice says. “Take on one of three chip-timed distance options;

40, 60 or a family friendly 10 miles, and enjoy the beautiful Sussex and Surrey countryside.

Taking part and raising money can make a real difference to local people, for instance, just £46 can allow a patient to be cared for in the comfort and surroundings of their own home with an hour-long visit from a Community Nurse.”

Pre-registration (just £30) closes on 15th July, however, the Hospice events team will also welcoming on-the-day entries (£35).

Children under sixteen can take part for free!

Donkey Derby Returns Car boots, fun dog shows and of course, donkey rides are just some of the exciting things we can expect to find at this year’s Donkey Derby event, organised by East Grinstead Lions.

Back for a third year, the community fundraising event will be taking place on Sunday 19th July at King George’s Field, East Grinstead, between 12-5pm and boasts a varied programme of events: “With those unpredictable donkeys it is certain to be another fun packed afternoon of thrills and spills,” Lion Brian Richens, laughs.

Most knew something Street event again – and there’s still time to be was up, but those who didn’t had a surprised involved. look on their faces!

Wanting to uncover more about this secretive event taking over the High Street on Sunday 12th July, we chatted to Alex Eichner from The East Grinstead Project to hear more: What made you organise such an event?

Part of the East Grinstead Project’s aims is to provide East Grinstead residents with as many free events and activities through the year. We support other groups putting on events and put our own ones on too. The Dance in the High Street is one such event.

We like it because it brings together the community by offering for them to take part in a variety of different roles including dancing, marshalling and filming the event. Last year a good time was had by all who got involved and, we hope, those watching.

How can we get involved?

If you want to be involved in the event you can email me on alex@egproject.co.uk, or just come along to the event, soak in the atmosphere, watch or join in the dance or enjoy the other activities held on the day!

Going mad in the middle of the High Street is not something people do every day. It is a lot of fun and you are likely to meet a lot of great people.

If you fancy it, nervous or not, skilled or not, come along and join in!

You won’t regret it.

Get Out… (into the Great Outdoors) With the six week’s holidays just around the corner, it’s time to get planning activities to keep those all-too-familiar cries of “I’m bored!” at bay, and what better way is there to unleash some steam than by getting outside and exploring the countryside?

Put down those games consoles, step away from the TV, instead grab a picnic (maybe a brolly – the British summer can be fickle!) and get outside, in the great outdoors!

We’d love to see how you spend the summer holidays!

Don’t forget to post a picture to our Facebook page or tweet us! www.facebook.com/RHUncovered @RHUncovered

Visit a Nature Reserve Taking the kids down to a local Nature Reserve gives the perfect opportunity to get hands-on with wildlife. Many LNR’s have FREE summer open days – including Weir Wood Reservoir, which on Sunday 12th July, from 9:30am will showcase just some of the conservation work the voluntary ‘friends’ group carries out. Telescopes will be set up to observe nesting birds, a moth display showing last night’s captures will be available to view and damsel and dragonflies can be seen.

There will also be the chance to experience pond dipping too!

Seaside Exploring The sunny, pebbly beaches of Brighton, Worthing and Eastbourne are just a short journey away in the car and on the train and by bus, and are enjoyable days out for the whole family.

Bypass the shops and head straight to the shores and rock pools, with your trusty net or bucket to see what you can find.

All that sea air can be rather tiring too, so it might make for a quiet journey home…

Grow Your Own If the great British weather (or time!) permits outdoor fun, you can still enjoy spending time together in your own garden!

From strawberries to pansies, sweet peas to sunflowers, there’s so much that you can grow during the summer months. Watering and watching seeds grow can also give children a sense of responsibility and achievement too and will give them something to write about in their holiday diary!

Create Your Own Countryside Adventure

Don’t want to travel too far?

With miles upon miles of glorious countryside on our doorsteps, you won’t have to venture far to come across an unspoilt, peaceful, picnic spot. Let the kids run free and create your very own afternoon adventure, by finding wildlife, flowers and birds – many childfriendly outdoor activity sheets can be downloaded from the internet for free!

The Post-Paper Trail

I

f last month you threw your paper driving licence in the bin, you may have missed the point a bit. Just to re-cap, as of June 8th if you hold a photocard driving licence, complete with paper counterpart, the paper bit was declared by the DVLA as being no longer required. The key word, in case you parked up wide of the point, being “counterpart”.

So, assuming that you have binned your counterpart, but kept hold of your photocard or paper driving licence, and realise that you will shortly be embarking on a two-week holiday to the sun, you might need to hire some kind of clapped-out transport to get you around. But now you find yourself without the bit of paper that you often have to hand over when hiring a Vauxhall Corsa, probably one with vague steering and a dusty dashboard. They need to know if you’ve got any speeding points on your licence, or similar.

Fear not, the DVLA have kind of got this covered.

In their attempts to save many pounds, and reduce the amount of red tape, they have come up with a system to get you out of trouble.

Assuming that you plan ahead.

From now on, if you know you are going on holiday and will be hiring a car, you may need to access a special temporary code to provide evidence of any convictions or endorsements that you may have.

Now, it’s not all hire car companies that will need this information, but for the sake of logging on to a website and getting this code in advance of your trip, you might as well play it safe.

WiFi hotspot. Then getting angry because you can’t log on to their free WiFi. Given that preparation prevents poor performance, you can go online and download a PDF of your driving records and print it out, if you so wish. You can also take with you a telephone number where you can give them a call 0300 083 0013 (between the hours of 8am and 7pm on a weekday, 8am and 2pm on a Saturday). But, to save the inevitable stress, you really should equip yourself with that code before you leave the country. Then you can enjoy the pleasures of your clapped out Corsa without having to worry.

In all of this, I expect you are thinking, well why couldn’t we just keep the paper counterpart!?

Well, they call it progress. Plus it will save them having to repeat the process of replacing 445,000 lost paper counterparts, as they had to last year.

Morale of the story is, if you are going away; make sure you get that code before you leave.

Most airlines let you check in online these days, so make it part of your check-in procedure.

The code can be found at www.viewdrivingrecord.service.gov.uk, you’ll need your driving licence number and your National Insurance number.

By Ben Morley

The caveat is that the code is only valid for three days, so if you aren’t organised before your trip, you may find yourself searching out the airport’s

Hear no evil, see no evil Eyes and ears -

The importance of looking after them

T

hey say that ‘the eyes are windows to the soul’ and they say about our ears ‘the quieter you become the more you hear’.

Do we ever consider just how important these two amazing senses are?

Have you ever wondered how you would cope without your sight or your hearing? A few years ago I found that I had lost about 30% of my hearing in both ears. I only got it checked out because people asked me if I was ignoring them. Turned out my selective deafness was real, although I do still choose to selectively ignore others.

We are lucky enough in this country to have access to state-of-the-art technology that can help us to enhance our sight and hearing. We can have surgery on our eyes to correct vision problems and on our ears to amplify and correct hearing loss.

Have you ever looked into someone’s eyes and seen sadness, happiness?

We’ve all made that comment in the past that a person looks sad, lost, or happy. As most therapists do, when I chat to people not only I do I listen to their story but I am watching their body language with my eyes and the tone of the conversation with my ears.

I was once asked whether in my role as a hypnotherapist, could a person with hearing impairment be hypnotised?

The short answer is yes.

You don’t have to have your eyes closed to experience hypnotism.

How can we keep these amazing portals to the world around us in tiptop condition?

We want them to last a lifetime.

• Have regular eye checks with qualified opticians.

• Look after your ears and as the saying goes don’t put anything smaller than your elbow in.

• On bright sunny days, to prevent eyestrain, wear sunglasses.

• Earplugs at loud concerts or events.

• Use one of the many complimentary therapies available to reduce not only internal stress but also environmental stresses.

They are powerful tools.

As Rumi was quoted as saying “Listen with ears of tolerance. See through the eyes of compassion. Speak with the language of love”

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a natural state of heightened awareness that occurs within all of us. It allows us to open our minds to beneficial suggestions and allows the client to use their imagination to make positive changes.

A brief way to describe a feeling similar to hypnosis is that moment you’ve been watching TV and not heard a word that’s been said, even though you’ve been staring straight at the screen.

Alternatively it’s the car journey where you wonder how you got to a certain place.

Your mind is on auto-pilot and must have been in control, otherwise there would probably have been an accident.

What can hypnotherapy help with?

• Agoraphobia • Anxiety • Blushing • Confidence Building • Depression • Fears and Phobias • Gambling • Guilt • Habits and Compulsions • IBS • Insecurity • Insomnia • Memory Recall • Nail biting • Nervousness • Pain Control • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder • Panic Attacks • Public Speaking • Smoking • Stress Management • Timidity • Trauma • Weight Problems • Worry Becky Wells, www.beckywells.com Personal Development Hypnotherapist www.payitforwarduk.net

Where there’s a Will...

“When we first took over the business called Good Wills from a close friend we looked at how the company was being promoted locally and found that using the Uncovered magazines had been the most effective.

Therefore we decided to increase the advert size and in turn received many more enquiries.

We have now been running the business for over four years and almost all of our business comes from the Uncovered magazines and then referrals from the customers that these magazines initially produce.

We found that people did not go out and pick up the Uncovered magazine specifically looking for a Will Writer, but they would read it every month due to the high standard of Wills Writ ten editorial content and local community articles that appear every month... that’s how they see our advert.”

7th Heaven Beauty Salon

7th Heaven Beauty Salon was opened on the 23rd September 2009.

The salon is also fully air conditioned and we have a shower on the premises.

So are we celebrating our 6th year of trading, we can’t believe where the time has gone and we would like to thank all our clients for their continued support and loyalty and are looking forward to many more years to come.

7th Heaven Beauty Salon is situated in the centre of East Grinstead, West Sussex.

We are a friendly, professional and highly qualified team.

Having worked for the previous salon for 11 years and worked her way up from junior therapist to salon manager, Ellie had an opportunity to take over the premises when unfortunately that salon closed its doors. The last 6 years has brought about lots of exciting changes within the salon and Ellie has a fantastic team behind her who have been a huge part of 7th Heaven’s development and make it what it is today.

Just three months after opening, we fully refurbished the salon to an extremely high standard and we continue to keep to that high standard and only last year the salon was reconfigured to create a 4th treatment room.

We offer a wide range of treatments using a range of high quality brands these include DIBI skincare, Nailtiques, Get Fresh, St Tropez, Tisserand, Australian Bodycare and OPI. We offer a loyalty scheme for all our customers.

Recently added to our treatment list is Bamboo massage and Nouveau LVL Lash lift.

Every month we have special offers running.

Court of Protection Deputyship F

ollowing on from our article on the importance of Lasting Powers of Attorneys (LPAs), this tells you what happens if you do not have LPAs. Once you have lost capacity an attorney cannot be appointed. An application has to be made to the Court of Protection, usually by close relatives or friends, to appoint a deputy, or deputies, to act for you.

A property and finance deputy must have skills to make financial decisions for someone else.

An application must be made detailing everyone applying for deputyship, why they are needed, and why those named should be selected.

A list of interested parties must also be supplied (other relatives, friends, healthcare workers) and a notice sent to each, allowing them to object. A separate court order to sell a property that’s jointly owned may be needed.

Finance deputies must ensure all property and money is held separately from their own, may be required to manage a Court Funds Office account in addition and submit annual accounts.

Personal welfare deputies must also get permission. This involves completing various forms, one of which must be signed by the person’s doctor or healthcare worker.

A deputy cannot make the decision to stop life-sustaining treatments (unlike an attorney in an LPA if given this power).

Some professionals are paid to act as deputies (accountants, solicitors, the local authority). The Court can appoint a specialist deputy from an approved list if they reject the people who have applied, which often happens.

Initial costs include £400 application fee plus £500 if the Court requests a hearing.

An annual supervision fee – usually £320 – and a £100 fee for the assessment of a new deputy also applies. There is an annual insurance “bond” set by the Court that can be anywhere between £100 and £500.

Fixed rates apply if the Court appoints a professional which are £1,500 plus VAT for the first year and £1,185 plus VAT for each year thereafter.

Where the assets are below £16,000, a professional finance deputy may take an annual fee up to 4.5%. Where the court appoints a professional welfare deputy (social services), they may take an annual fee up to 2.5% capped at £500. Annual charges for the report, accounts and HMRC tax return also apply.

The only way to ensure the people you choose can make decisions for you is to draw up Lasting Powers of Attorneys. They must be registered before they can be used which takes weeks and therefore we never recommend not registering them immediately. If in doubt please contact Good Wills and / or speak to your GP.

Family Gardens Warm sun and blue skies are not the only ingredients for a perfect summer’s day spent outdoors. Whether for dining, playing or simply relaxing, we look at ways in which to make your garden a fun and functional place for all the family.

F

rom the smallest to the largest outdoor area, it’s possible to create a beautiful, useable space that children and adults alike will enjoy. But it does require a little forethought. First, consider how you can really make the most of your garden. Perhaps you could paint an unattractive fence, trim back some overhanging branches or extend an area of paving? Can you create a tucked-away area for making dens, or would you like an adults-only seating area away from noisy games? Should that greenhouse really be next to the lawn where the kids play football? And can you install lighting?

Exterior lighting will transform your garden, highlighting interesting features, guiding you safely in the dark and allowing you to enjoy it after the sun has set.

Next, it’s time to consider furniture. For relaxation, it could be anything from a hammock to a sun lounger, an outdoor mattress to a steamer chair. For eating, outdoor dining tables and chairs vary hugely in price, but solid, more durable types are usually an investment worth making. Styles range from metal to funky coloured plastic to classic wood (an FSCcertification means it’s environmentally friendly). Bear in mind, however, that you don’t always have to buy new – you could scour car boot sales and second-hand shops for cheap and cheerful pieces that, as long as they’re stable and at the right height for eating, can be given a couple

44

/RHUncovered

of coats of exterior-quality paint for a charmingly casual look. Remember that, ideally, garden furniture should be stored away when not in use, so unless you have an enormous shed it’s best to opt for pieces that are slimline or can be folded up easily.

Textiles can transform an outdoor dining area, and to cover the table you could choose anything from a practical oilcloth to a pretty embroidered tablecloth. An informal collection of crockery and glass, in varied but co-ordinating colours, looks fantastic, too. For young children, plastic, metal or even paper plates, bowls and tumblers are available in a range of gorgeous colours and patterns. The finishing touches are colourful bunting, fairy lights or strings of lanterns, tea lights or decorative candles and jugs filled with a profusion of flowers.

01293 824088

Despite the vagaries of the English weather, one of your main considerations must be to provide some shaded areas, especially for eating and playing areas.

Permanent shading might take the form of a gazebo, arbour or similar, or simply a fabric awning fixed to hooks in walls or trees. Alternatively, a parasol or garden umbrella is an inexpensive option, either free-standing or over a table; look out for versions that tilt, offering greater versatility.

Finally, it’s playtime. From paddling pools to trampolines, croquet sets to giant games of snakes and ladders, there are all sorts of toys that will keep the kids amused. Simple things such as a ball, a swing (hung from a strong branch) or a skipping rope will also provide hours of fun.

By now your garden planning should have paid off and, with everyone happily fed and the children entertained, it’s time to make a cup of tea, pop on a sunhat and head out for that well-earned snooze in a deckchair.

Herbs Home Grown

T

here’s a really reliable, easy, low-cost and low-effort way to add some zing to your meals; home-grown herbs. Many herbs are simple to raise from seed and if you start sowing now you should be able to have a plentiful supply of fresh, tasty herbs to add to salads, sandwiches, stews and stir-fries for months to come.

All you need to is a sunny window sill or balcony, or a well-drained, sunny spot in your garden.

First, find some good quality multi-purpose compost,your chosen herb seeds and some pots. Good-quality compost is well worth the little bit extra you need to pay. The style of pot is up to you – you may want to choose a classic Mediterranean one, or perhaps a good-looking plastic planter for longevity and light-weight characteristics. Remember that plenty of drainage is essential, and that the smaller herbs do not need a deep root run, so there’s no need for a very tall planter or pot. It’s best to grow each type of herb in its own individual pot, so buy a selection of pots with a minimum diameter of 8cm.

Once you have your pot to hand, put a broken flower pot or other drainage material in the base and then fill with good quality compost to within 1cm of the rim of the pot and firm it down, not too aggressively, but enough to ensure that there’s no subsidence later on. With large seeds such as coriander, position the seeds evenly on the compost surface. Sprinkle smaller seed thinly.

56

/RHUncovered

The seeds need to be covered with compost so use your finger or a dibber to gently press the seed in to the very surface of the compost and then drizzle more compost on top to the depth stated on the packet of seed. Water the compost thoroughly either from above using a watering can with rose attached, or by standing the pot in a saucer of water for a few minutes until the compost surface is just moist.

The seeds generally germinate quite quickly and often within just a week or two you’ll have lots of tiny herbs. Once the herbs are up and growing strongly you can start to harvest them. Use sharp scissors or a sharp knife to cut off what you need; this way you’ll minimise damage to the growing plants and so help to keep them cropping for longer. As long as you keep the pots adequately watered, ideally by watering from the base, they should last for several weeks or months but make sure that the compost is not too wet or else your herb pots won’t last long. If you find that you’re not eating them fast enough, store some for later use.

Ice cubes give you a really great fresh-herb taste off-season. Just half fill ice-cube tray sections with water. Add chopped fresh herbs to each section and top up with water. Label the tray as they can be difficult to identify. You can then simply pop them whole into stews and casseroles as and when you need them.

Top herbs that grow well from seed: There are lots of herbs which do very well in pots when sown from seed. Some of my favourites include Italian or Genovese basil, lemon basil, chervil, Coriander ‘Cilantro’ for leaves, flat-leaved parsley, Ainse, Thai basil, chervil, chives, fennel, garlic chives.

Visit www.pippagreenwood.com for Pippa’s ‘Winter thru’ Spring’ vegetable collection, great plants for September planting and regular advice emails from Pippa, and buy a great range of gardening products including Nemasys caterpillar, slug, ant and other biological controls, Enviromesh and Envirofleece.
