Hello and welcome to our April issue.

Last month I spoke about the response we had received to our reader survey – this month you will notice that we have made some changes to our content - there is more to come, but as Mark Twain famously said, “continuous improvement is better than delayed perfection!”

So, in the spirit of “continuous improvement”, and in answer to you wanting more local content, this month we are introducing our new community writers. Across our magazines we now have eight, who are all passionate about what goes on in the local area and each month they will be covering topics that they think that our readers will enjoy. You can contact any of them by emailing featuresdesk@mantramagazines.co.uk – get in touch to let us know what you would like to see in the magazine!

Secondly, you asked us for a wider variety of articles, such as Theatre, Leisure and Travel – so we’ve included some new articles this month, which we hope you enjoy.

Finally, (and here is the bit about “delayed perfection”) next month we will be celebrating our 10th Birthday, so we thought we’d save the big reveal of our redesign of the magazines for the May issue!

Until next month,

Meet our new community writer

Sarah Ballingal

‘’Greetings to RH Uncovered Readers!

My surname - Ballingal - means ‘Home of the Stranger’, and I was indeed a stranger to Reigate when I came here from Wimbledon 8 years ago with my husband and son. We had moved to be near our son’s new school in Leigh and my insistence that we had to live within a 10 minute walk of a grocery shop resulted in our settling near Priory Park, famous for its outstanding natural beauty and proximity to Morrisons. Perfect!

I work part-time in Pilgrims Bookshop in the High Street and I fill the remainder of my week with various things (which strangely enough all seem to start with ‘C’).

Although I didn’t know anyone when we first arrived we found Reigate to be such a friendly and welcoming town that it felt like home straight away and we absolutely love living here. It is full to the brim with interesting people, places and events, and there is a great community spirit.

I am not a professional writer but I am so excited to have this opportunity to contribute to this great magazine. I have several ideas for items I would like to cover in forthcoming issues and if you have anything that you’d like to see featured, please let me know - I’ll do my best :)’’

I’m a Christian, I love charity shopping, chatting, coffee, cats and cooking (actually, I hate cooking, it’s baking that I love but that didn’t fit with the alliteration!).

Doctor In The (Wall) House ention Henry VIII to most people and

things will come to mind….

M certain serial matrimony, divorce, beheading,

corpulence, gout, dissolution of monasteries etc., and given those activities, it’s unlikely that ‘Health Care Regulations’ would be high on the list. However, it was indeed this portly ruler who in 1511 introduced an act of parliament regulating the medical profession for the first time. This Act required that any would-be doctor must first apply to the Bishop of each diocese for a licence.

Henry also went on to charter the Royal College of Physicians in 1518 and united the Company of Barbers with the Guild of Surgeons in 1580.

The earliest identified licenced doctor practicing in Reigate was Joseph Garret in 1662. Other physicians practiced in the area throughout the century when medicine was crude and ‘nearly all serious illness was fatal thus reducing the workload’.* Medical knowledge improved during the 18th century along with an understanding of preventative medicine and hygiene. Two doctors settled in Reigate around the same time – Thomas Steele, (a walking apothecary who did his rounds with a hollow stick filled with pills) came in 1793; and Thomas Martin in 1800. Both men established strong, long-lasting partnerships in the town.

Thomas Martin was encouraged into the medical profession by his GP father. He was a leader in social reform and spent his life seeking to improve the living conditions of the working classes whose ignorance and poverty he saw as the cause of much avoidable illness.

Even then, he recognised the dangers of smoking, regarding it as a cause of cancer. Sadly, his young wife, Elizabeth (nee Charrington) died, as did two of his daughters, and a riding accident resulted in his losing a leg. However, his concern for the poor never wavered despite his own personal tragedy. His son, Peter joined the practice in 1834 and from then on, a constant doctrine of GPs has kept the practice going to this present day.

Lawrence Dulake, who joined the practice in 1925, wrote a book entitled, ‘The Doctor’s Tale, A History of General and Hospital Practice (1662 – 1975)’.

One of his colleagues, Dr Whitworth a retired obstetrician, recalls the first time he saw Dr Dulake, a self-taught surgeon, at work. ‘In one day he performed four different types of surgery – abdominal (colonoscopy), hysterectomy, knee, tonsils and adenoids’ such skill from one who had taught himself from a book.

From Thomas Martin in 1800 to Dr Patrick Kerr and partners in 2016, this methuselah of GP practices, The Wallhouse Surgery, has along with other local practices influenced the care of Reigate and Redhill residents for the last 216 years, making it the longest continuous practice in the country. Thank you, King Henry! www.wallhousesurgery.nhs.uk *‘The Doctor’s Tale, A History of General and Hospital Practice (1662 – 1975)’

To the Manor Born N

estling half way up Reigate Hill sits Best Western’s Reigate Manor Hotel. Opposite a distracting speed camera, screened by greenery and with its entrance next to a petrol station, when approaching from the south, one could easily miss it. However, this elegant hotel has never had to shout ‘Look at me!’ in order to be noticed. With quiet confidence, it has been providing hospitality to thousands of satisfied customers for decades.

I first knew the hotel in the 1960s when as a child my stepfather regularly took my mother and me in his grubby green Ford Anglia to sample the delights of its lounge bar. My stepfather never liked to be too far away from a pint, so the fact that he was prepared to make the hour’s journey from our South London home, suggested to me even then that this hotel was something special.

Built originally around 1780 as a family home, ‘The Brokes’ became ‘Brokes Hotel’ in the early 1920s.

Like many grand houses during the war, it was requisitioned by the War Office, and when troops vacated it 3 ½ years later, the house and its contents were in a sorry state. After a lengthy compensation battle the owner, Major Gordon, received a paltry amount for the damage done to his beautiful home and he sold it to Mr J Brand shortly afterwards in 1946.

During Brand’s ownership, a barman, John McMain Mudie was murdered and dumped in a chalk pit.

/RHUncovered

The incident, although unrelated to the hotel itself, had an adverse effect on business and Brand sold it to Margaret Park in 1947. Wayside Inns took over in 1972, followed by John Coyne in 1974 and Finbar Ltd in 1977. CQK currently own the hotel with Best Western at the helm - to use a nautical expression, and talking of boats, Margaret Park, was great friends of the Campbell family, of the world speed records fame. When Donald Campbell sought to better the achievements of his father, Malcolm, he rented the hotel’s garage in which he restored his late father’s boat, Bluebird K4. The garage has long gone but the hotel’s connection with that exceptional family is a significant one.

Although the grounds have diminished since Campbell’s time the house itself has been considerably extended. There are 50 guest rooms, and a recent refurbishment by local company, ‘Fox Hut’ has stylishly and sympathetically transformed the 6 function rooms. It is enormously popular and many local clubs including Jazz, Rotary, Probus, Soroptimists, Roundtable and Tangent, meet regularly to enjoy the excellent facilities. I might just become a Soroptimist myself to do the same (although I’d better find out what it means first!). www.reigatemanor.co.uk www.thefoxhut.co.uk (James Chalker)

The Easter Project A

s any local knows, Reigate is not short on restaurants. Many popular chains are here, and a new one seems to open every few months. However, there is one unique place to eat in town that is not so familiar – ‘The Easter Project’ at St Mary’s Community Centre, Chart Lane.

Despite the name, it’s not an annual event, it takes place every Saturday at 12.30pm (even at Christmas).

The food is excellent, it gets great reviews from its patrons, there’s no need to book, and it proves that there is indeed such a thing as a free lunch!

Based on a similar scheme in Crawley, the project started in January 2009 after teenagers from St Mary’s spent a cold October night sleeping rough in Reigate Tunnel to raise awareness of homelessness. The experience had a profound impact on them, and during their vigil they met 20 local homeless people. It became apparent that there was a real need right on Reigate’s affluent doorstep.

An art and knitting club run before lunch, a monthly stall provides clothing and groceries, and lifts can be arranged for those who need transport. The project has developed good relationships with Social Services and housing associations, and working in co-operation any concerns/needs that guests may have can be flagged up and solutions found.

Although many diners are disadvantaged or vulnerable in some way, a variety of people come for an array of reasons, from the youngest (19 months) to the eldest (96 years).

No one is turned away and no questions are asked. One guest, who has mental health issues, told me enthusiastically, ‘I love it here! If it weren’t for this place I would lose the plot!’ Another, a gentleman deaf from birth, told me what a huge difference the project has made to his social life, and another comes simply because she cannot cook (I know the feeling!) - and the food is good.

Casserole, Chilli and Veggie Lasagne were on offer when I went along. Close your eyes and you could be in Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant (without the swearing, of course). However, as the guests explain the reasons that they come each week, it is clear there is far more on offer here than just a meal. Another ‘menu’ of acceptance, respect, friendship, love and support offers something far more sustaining than the food could ever do.

Volunteers and guests are always welcome.

Initially, around 30 hot meals were provided.

Contact St Mary’s Church Tel: 01737 221100 However seven years on, teams of volunteers email: admin@stmaryreigate.org prepare, cook and serve a main course, pudding, fresh fruit and drinks to around 60 people each week. By Sarah Ballingal

Burys Court - A Family Home I

t is generally agreed that in any successful marriage compromise is essential and when brewery magnate, Edward Charrington and his Swiss wife, Georgiana, built Burys Court in Leigh in the 1870s they put this into practice on a grand scale - he designed the front, and she designed the back!

The Charringtons already owned a country house nearby - Bures Manor - which had been the family seat since the 16th century. However, with his thriving East London brewery Edward wanted a more impressive house for his own family, one that reflected his status and position in Victorian society. Burys Court, with its landscaped gardens, imposing architecture, and grand interiors did just that. Edward’s creation of the front façade reflects the typical ornate taste of the time, whilst Georgiana’s preference for mock Tudor bears more than a passing resemblance to the chalets of her homeland.

Sadly, Edward didn’t live to enjoy their new home for very long - he died in 1888. He was affable and gentle, and had been a supporter of many philanthropic movements; his death was a great loss to both his family and brewery. His widow far outlived him and died 1911 after which their family later returned to Bures Manor. However, although it was no longer the Charrington family home, Burys Court was destined to become a home of a rather different sort - a school!

Apart from a period during the Second World War when Lloyds insurance took it over, followed by a hotel, Burys Court has been ‘home’ to hundreds of pupils and their teachers. With its extensive grounds for sport and games, numerous rooms for teaching and boarding, nooks and crannies for exploring, and all set in beautiful countryside – it is a perfect school setting.

The first, ‘Burys Court Girls’ School’, was started

by Miss Sheard in 1930, and then in 1952, the Charrington family sold it to Kenneth Farnsworth who founded a boys preparatory school.

In those days, school life was unencumbered by our modern ‘Health & Safety’ restrictions and one old boy remembers that fire drill involved lowering pupils from a top floor window by a rope! Times changed and in 1963, it was sold to Frederick White, who along with his wife and sons, further developed the school.

Today, it is home to Moon Hall College and Burys Court School, part of an educational trust started by another family, David and Berry Baker. It is a co-educational school for pupils with dyslexia and teaches to GCSE level, providing exceptional specialised education. I like to think that the benevolent Edward Charrington would be very pleased to see what has become of his old home.

The Old Stables, Park Lane

By Sarah Ballingal

E

ven now, decades since I last sat on a horse, there is no sound like the clip-clop of metal on tarmac to make me stop whatever I am doing, rush to the window, and admire the beautiful creature passing by. Instantly, I am 12 years old again, avid reader of Ruby Ferguson’s ‘Jill’ books, and longing to have a pony of my own. If only I had lived then where I do now, when Jack O’Donoghue ran the Stables in Priory Park.

Trudi Eustance, an instructor with The British Horse Society*, remembers it well. Trudi started work with Jack in 1978 and has happy memories of her time working for the ‘Governor’. So much so, that her daughter, Megan, is named after the horse she rode whilst expecting!

Jack was a character with a capital ‘C’.

Charismatic, clever, comical, and an expert trainer.

His skill with difficult horses brought him to the attention of one very famous racehorse owner, the Queen Mother, and she trusted him with several of her horses: Gay Record, National Emblem, Sunbridge Manicola, Augustine and Corragheen.

Stable hands reminisced about her visits when she would sometimes bring members of her family.

On one occasion she took a horse into Priory Park, sitting there while the animal grazed.

People passed by without an inkling of the VIP they were just feet from! Jack received a card each Christmas from his royal patron which he would proudly frame and keep on his desk.

He was a veritable Francis of Assisi – as well as horses, there were donkeys, cats, cattle, pigs, pheasants, hens, quails and canaries. A pigeon called Charlie was a regular visitor as was Jimmy the Squirrel.

Jack’s cottage by the Pineapple Pillars leading into Priory Park was a hive of activity. His secretary, Kathleen Wells ran the household like a well-oiled machine, doing anything and everything - cooking, salaries, race admin, preserve making; and each year she wrote Christmas cards for his friends and racing contacts – hundreds of them! The living room was bursting with trophies, pride of place being given to the 1951 Grand National Trophy won by Nickle Coin. Jack was a keen gardener and combined his two passions when he clipped a privet hedge into the shape of a horse! One year, determined to grow a prize pumpkin, he fertilised them with contraceptive pills with remarkable success.

Sadly, after Jack’s retirement in 1996, the stables were entirely neglected. All that is now left are ramshackle ruins, and thick brambles roam where once horses did. For years local residents have tried without success to discover what plans Surrey County Council has for this plot. Maybe some royal intervention might help. Now there’s a thought…. *The British Horse Society - www.bhs.org.uk

Miss You Knights I

t’s been two months since Knights Department Store closed its doors for the very last time at the end of January, and now the blank white-washed windows facing out towards Bell Street are a sad and poignant memorial to this once proud and esteemed store.

There is little left to show for its 132 years of valued trading in Reigate, but the mention of Knights to any local will raise a wry smile, an expression of regret, and a quip about some fond memory conjured up.

Anne, a regular customer years ago, remembers popping in during breaks from her work at a local estate agent. She particularly recalls the unsophisticated window displays but as she says, ‘It was all part of Knights’ special charm’.

Staff members remember the happy working atmosphere that the Knight family fostered amongst their employees. One lady, Angie, was shown the ropes by the ‘lovely’ Mrs Knight; another, Betty, confesses to breaking an upstairs window during a game of hide and seek with colleagues but David Knight just said, ‘That’s okay, don’t let it happen again’. Knights may not have been Harrods, but it’s difficult to imagine Mohamed Al-Fayed being so forgiving!

Established in 1883 by the Knight family it was extended over the years and in 1911 they acquired the neighbouring Grapes Hotel. It remained in the family until Tudor Williams bought the site

/RHUncovered

nine years ago but it never regained that certain something that made it so special. I wonder if Saint Mary of Portas could have helped turned the tide?

I visited the store on the very last day of trading when sale prices were slashed even further, but instead of searching out a bargain my eye was drawn to building interior itself, to the remaining original features – the impressive staircase and Edwardian mouldings and pillars. Although partially hidden by modern fixtures and fittings it wasn’t hard to imagine how it had looked over the past century of business when trade was booming, and residents of Reigate relied on Knights for their necessities, and Amazon was just a place in South America.

A department store can play a pivotal role in defining a town’s identity: Harrods /Knightsbridge, Bentalls/Kingston, Barkers/Kensington. Their alliance benefits both. When Pratts, John Lewis’s branch in Streatham closed in 1990, the town itself seemed to diminish, and it has never regained that ‘je ne sais quoi’ of old. So what for Reigate now that Knights is no more? Thankfully, there have been reasonable assurances by new owners St Dominic Properties (part of the EPF Group) that this lovely listed building will be sympathetically repurposed.

That’s all very well of course, but where will we ladies-of-a-certain-age buy our Sloggis now?

Try Something New: Exciting Courses Starting This Month

A

s Leonardo Da Vinci once famously said: “Learning is the only thing the mind never exhausts, never fears, and never forgets.” We couldn’t agree more, as learning new skills, as an adult is found to have so many benefits, from keeping the mind sharp to meeting new people. With this in mind, we’ve rounded up just a few interesting adult learning courses starting this month.

Hola Holidays

Off to Spain on your summer holidays and fancy speaking like a local?

Learn how to order food and drinks at a restaurant, ask for and understand directions and other useful phrases to help you chat with locals, during your visit.

Spanish For Holidays will run at Central Sussex College, College Road, Crawley, RH10 1NR (01293 442213) and Queensmere House, 49 Queens Road, East Grinstead, RH19 1BG (01342 321874). Course Fee: £88.00.

Use It Up or Pass It On E

ach year in the UK, we throw out roughly 20% of the food we buy, which according to the Love Food Hate Waste campaign, this means that the average family wastes a whopping £60 per month. Most of this is also food that we could have used.

We’ve all got cupboards brimming with condiments, cans and dried goods, along with fridges full of fresh vegetables, dairy products and meat, but all too often we stare blankly at them and wonder how to make a meal.

Flour

Once opened, use within six months.

Flour can go rancid and even become infested by insects, so it’s best to keep it in an airtight container and buy fresh bi-annually to save any hidden surprises finding their way inside your homemade cakes or bread!

Stock cubes

However with websites such as Supercook and apps available to download to android and IOS devices, like CookBrite and AllRecipes, planning our mealtimes, using the ingredients we already have in, just got a whole lot simpler.

There is no known danger consuming these after a year, but to keep dishes and gravies full of flavour, stock cubes are best to use up within twelve months.

All you need to do is list the foods you already have and voila; your recipe ideas will appear!

Before you know it, you’ll have cooked up a meal for free, or almost nothing if you’ve had to purchase a few extras – a meal that most likely would have ended up in the bin, beforehand.

Just like stock cubes, dried herbs can’t cause any harm eating them after twelve months, however, the flavours can diminish and ultimately affect how bland our meals taste, after this time!

If, whilst having a spring clean, you come across cans and packet goods that are still unopened and in date, but you know you won’t use, why not donate them to your local foodbank? The Trussell Trust relies on the kind donations of items such as; cereal, tinned soup, pasta, rice, pasta sauce, beans, tinned meat, tinned vegetables, tea/coffee, sugar and biscuits to help them put together their three-day emergency packs, which last year benefitted over one million people in crisis.

Our nearest foodbanks can be found by visiting: www.trusselltrust.org/get-help/find-a-foodbank.

What To Throw Out And When

/RHUncovered

Dried herbs

Honey

This may surprise many of us; but honey, once opened, should be stored in the fridge and used within six weeks. This is because crumbs (from toast) can end up in the honey and it can cause mould to grow, which will affect the honey’s flavour and could give the consumer an upset stomach. Unopened jars can be kept for years!

Tea bags

Once a packet is opened, tea bags should be used within three months to keep the taste of our favourite cuppa fresh. Over time, its smell and taste will diminish. If kept in unopened packets, use up the tea bags within a year.

Sussex, Surrey and Beyond: Bucket List Travels Y

ou told us you wanted more travel articles and we listened! So, to get the ball rolling, this month the Uncovered team have been busy discussing some of our bucket list destinations – both in stunning Surrey and Sussex and further afield to inspire you.

Close to home

All too often, we forget the beauty we have on our very own doorstep – the rolling hills of the countryside, the miles upon miles of striking beaches and the acres of nature. When creating your very own to-visit list, don’t forget to include all those places and things you’ve wanted to do locally, but have always put-off ; just because you don’t need to travel far, it still very much counts!

Our Director Nikki Relffe-Arnold has always wanted to board the Bluebell Railway and enjoy an afternoon tea as she takes a journey through the countryside. Living in Sussex all her life, she can’t believe she hasn’t booked herself in yet.

If, like Nikki, you’d like to see Sussex in serious style, the Bluebell Railway runs special services throughout the year; including Murder Mystery evenings, Southern at War and regular afternoon teas (between February and November).

Staying on the luxurious theme, feature writer Shelley Baker, fancies a relaxing spa break in one of our local, high rating hotels.

“Visiting sumptuous hotels with spas, such as Alexander House in Turners Hill, Ashdown Park in Forest Row or Nutfield Priory in Redhill, sounds like the perfect way to spend a weekend,” she says.

“I suppose I’ve just never got round to doing it, because they are so close-by, but the fact that I don’t need to travel means that this is one bucket list treat that I should be able to tick off quickly!”

Further afield

From seeing the Northern Lights to trekking the Inca Trail in Peru, overseas travel rates highly on most people’s travel bucket lists.

That also includes sales team member Heather Porter who has firmly put a visit to Vietnam and Cambodia at the top of her wish list. Heather hopes to one day take a trip to the cultural countries, taking in all the sites (and street food!) on board a traditional river boat.

Also planning a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia?

Don’t forget to check out breath-taking Hue (where the Nguyen emperors once lived), soak up the atmosphere in historic Hoi An and the bustling Ho Chi Minh City, which played a pivotal role in the Vietnam War. In Cambodia, uncover Phnom Penh’s history and culture and pay a visit to Angkor’s awe-inspiring temples, for a trip to remember forever!

Keen traveller and our production manager, Christine Seymour, has already had her passport stamped in both Vietnam and Cambodia, along with a whole host of other exotic destinations and she’s now set her sights on a holiday to Australia.

Not one to hang around, Christine has booked to take a thirty day trip Down Under for October!

“I’m really looking forward to it,” she says. “We’ll be travelling across the whole of the country and seeing everything – from the Great Barrier Reef to Ayers Rock.”

We’d love to know what’s on your bucket list!

Holiday Childcare:

What To Do When Granny Goes Gallivanting

More than half of parents in the UK rely on grandparents to help them with childcare, especially when it comes to returning to work after maternity or paternity leave and during the school holidays.

In fact, recent reports suggest that 14 million grandparents look after their grandchildren (mostly under preschool age), saving British parents an average of £7,615.69 in annual costs. But what do you do when the hard-working grandparents need a well-earned holiday or a few days off? Don’t fear we’ve got it covered:

Day Nurseries

Day nurseries not only provide educational Ofsted registered childcare for babies through to four year olds (in different rooms and with specialist staff ), but they also flexibly look after children, be it for a working week, a few days a week, a day and even down to mornings or afternoon sessions, making it a great option should you need help over a certain period. Of course, as well as looking after your child, nurseries provide pre-schoolers with plenty of activities to grow their social skills, like sharing.

Holiday Clubs

Having a fun place to head for in the holidays is a must to keep the kids occupied and happy and also to help keep that working mum guilt at bay. Many local schools and private organisations run clubs for primary and junior school aged children, which will see them get stuck into sports and crafts and meeting lots of new friends. During the six week holidays, you’ll also find plenty of summer camps happening too, which no doubt will give children plenty of adventures!

Kids Swap

From experience, we all know that our children behave better and are happier when playing with other children, so why not double up with another parent and take it in turns? One mum or dad can look after the kids one day and you or your partner can host the next time. This solution keeps the children busy and can cut the amount of childcare needed in half!

Enjoy time together

Taking time off may not be ideal, with busy work schedules and lack of annual leave, but if there is no other option – just enjoy it! In the worst case scenario, there is unpaid parental leave of up to four weeks for each child under eighteen. Of course, spending time with the kids needn’t be expensive or boring either. Go on walks, bike rides, take trips to the park or have a crafty afternoon at home and just enjoy making memories!

When a little bit of what you fancy can do you good…. et’s face it, if we listened to all of the advice thrown at us about what we should and shouldn’t eat or drink, life would become very boring. So it’s good to know that some of those things considered “bad” can actually be quite “good” - in moderation!

L

Research has shown that red wine in moderation may promote heart health. A scientific study has found compounds in red wine may play an active role in limiting the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis (a fatty substance causing disease within the arteries).

Is chocolate good for me? Pure 70-80% chocolate, not sugar with a little chocolate added. Yes in moderation. Chocolate is rich in fibre, iron, magnesium and other minerals. There is still a lot of research to be done but it has been shown in some cases to increase good cholesterol and reduce bad cholesterol. It’s also been linked to increased brain function.

Coffee in moderation can help you to lose weight.

It is one of the few natural substances that aid in fat burning within the body. It can also help depression which causes a significantly reduced quality of life.

A Harvard study, published in 2011 found that women who drank 4 (or more) cups of coffee a day were 20% lower risk of developing depression.

We’ve all been there, work stress, life stress, just plain old stress but stress in moderation can be beneficial to our bodies. It can increase immunity - in the short term. It can boost brain power and strengthen the connections between neurons in the brain. When I work with my hypnotherapy clients, I teach them to control their stress, not to allow it to control them.

Are you the last to finish a meal, or do you eat so fast that your taste buds don’t even realise you’ve eaten? Research has shown that it takes around twenty minutes for the brain to acknowledge food, even if you’ve eaten it in five. Your stomach is overfull before it even realises the food is there. Eating slowly actually makes weight loss or maintenance easier, and gives us greater satisfaction with our meals.

The key is moderation, and the bonus is that you then don’t have to deprive yourself of these things.

If moderation is something you struggle with, maybe a therapy session or two can help get that back on track too.

So, a little of what you fancy really can do you good after all!

Capsule Wardrobes Uncovered T

he capsule wardrobe trend has been around since the 1970’s and has been popular ever since with those who want a streamlined and condensed collection of clothes that are all interchangeable and work together, whatever the season or year!

The term ‘capsule wardrobe’ was coined by London boutique owner, Susie Faux, during the 1970’s to describe staple garments that would not go out of fashion and could be worn throughout the seasons, with just a little updating needed during the year.

Faux is believed to have said that the perfect capsule wardrobe consists of two pairs of trousers, a dress or a skirt, a jacket, coat, a knit, two pairs of shoes and two bags! Of course, many of us couldn’t limit ourselves to only wearing nine items (especially if we’re starting with over-flowing wardrobes and drawers!), but we can cut down. So, get ready to start de-cluttering and embrace your fuss-free, wear-anywhere wardrobe!

Choose non-clashing colours

Capsule Wardrobe Checklist      

White Shirt Little Black Dress Bootleg Jeans Tailored Trousers Pencil Skirt Plain T-Shirts & Camisole Tops  Cashmere Jumper or Cardigan

 Black Blazer  Belted Trench Coat  Flat Ballet Shoes  High Heels  Casual Shoes  Tote Bag  Clutch Bag  Silk Scarf  Sunglasses

This spring, give your wardrobe the capsule treatment and start wearing more, whilst having less!

1. Trench Coat, www.laredoute.co.uk, £135.00

By choosing a muted colour scheme of one or two base colours (black, white, brown, grey or navy work best!), all items will work together. You can then add one or two brighter accent colours (for things like bags, tops and jewellery), to coordinate and make all items completely interchangeable.

2. High Waist Flared Jeans, Evans, £30.00

Opt for classic shapes and patterns

4. Black Dress, BHS, £30.00

As well as cutting down on the sheer amount of unworn clothes we have hanging in our wardrobes, the capsule wardrobe focuses on timeless pieces that will never go out of style. This is always worth remembering as we update the garments we have.

For instance, instead of buying fashionable-rightnow skinny jeans, we should choose figure-flattering and forever-stylish bootleg jeans as these will see us through the changing fashion seasons. It’s also worth thinking about garment shapes that suit your figure too, to ensure that you continue to want to wear them.

3. Patent Leather Effect Slip on Shoes, www.lookagain.co.uk, £45.00

Buy high-quality fabrics

The perfect capsule wardrobe is all about re-wearing the same pieces, over and over again, so you need good quality clothes that stand up to the daily wear and tear. Investing in more expensive, but better quality key pieces, will save you money (and time!) in the long-run and see you looking fabulously fashionable for longer.

Just like the seasonal flowers appearing in your garden, the property market also blooms into life at the first signs of spring. After dark winter days, the budget-busting Christmas over-spend and busy holiday period, spring and it’s lighter evenings brings a welcome breath of fresh air – and with it a plethora of house hunters all looking to find their next home. If you want to sell your house or flat, take advantage of the season and get to it. It’s easier than you may think, with our top tips:

1. Spring Clean

3. Target Your Market

First things first. Give your home a spring clean and get around to those jobs that you’ve been putting off. Fix door handles, shelving units and all of those things you’ve put on the back-burner to refresh your home. Don’t forget to de-clutter and de-personalise as you go. You may love your extensive ornament collection, but there’s no guarantee that potential buyers will – and yes, while it is still your home, if you’ve made the decision to sell, your house needs to appeal to as many people as possible.

Something that many of us can forget when selling our homes is to utilise and ‘sell’ our space, in the best way and with the right market in mind. For example, if you have a two bedroom house and are using one room as an office, have a think about whether this is what your likely buyer will use it as.

In some areas, this will work, but in most it would be better to turn this space back into a bedroom.

Think about first time buyers, young families and even those downsizing, all would most probably prefer another bedroom, over an office. The less a buyer needs to think about how they would use a room, it seems ready-made and therefore easier to move their lives into.

One simple way of doing this is by reducing the amount of personal items you have on-show, to allow them to imagine their things in that space.

If you’d really like to wow house hunters, treat your walls to a touch of TLC, with a coat of fresh paint… you can never go wrong with magnolia!

4. Find The Right Agent

Finding your trusted estate agent can be tricky how do you choose? With different fees and valuations, deciding on the right people to sell your beloved home can be a minefield. However, The clean-up isn’t just confined to your home’s interior, remember to spruce things up outside too! it needn’t be, especially if you go with your gut Remove weeds, mow the lawns and add kerb appeal feeling. It’s always recommended to meet three agents and get their valuations and thoughts on with hanging baskets and pretty plants. Many your property. From there, see who you can relate buyers see the garden as an extra room, so with to personally and who understands your needs. spring on your side, make the most of yours!

You’ll also see their motivation and get an idea of

2. Spruce Things Up

38

01342 718348

their experience of the local market. Don’t feel pressured to sell with agents who you may buy through either. This is a big decision that you need to trust your instinct on. Don’t forget, it’s also cheaper to instruct a sole-agent rather than having a few, if you’re concerned about keeping costs down.

5. Give A Warm and Friendly Welcome Of course, it is still spring and some days may be chilly, so to give the warmest welcome, pop on the heating and offer potential buyers a warming cuppa, to get them feeling cosy!

If they feel relaxed, they will instantly feel at home, which is the aim! Scents are really important when giving a homely feel to a room and traditionally, smells like home baking, freshly brewed coffee and freshly cut flowers always rank highly with those purchasing homes, however recently white tea and fig combinations have also proven popular, as a clean scent.

6. Make Your Home Light, Bright and Beautiful Nights may be starting to draw out, but usually the sun sets around 8pm, which means that some viewings could still take place as it starts to get dark. Appointments in the light are preferred, so that viewers can fully take in all the details of their potential new home. If this is inconvenient, you can still showcase your home, just make your home light and bright! Turn on flattering lamps, rather than having the full beam glare from ceiling lights and maybe light some candles to add to that cosy atmosphere.

Questions To Ask When Buying Your New Home.

You may be selling, but chances are you are starting to look for your very own new home too. So, what should you be asking agents as you go on viewings?

Why is the owner selling and how long have they lived there?

Try to find out a little about the seller’s position to uncover not only how quickly they want to move and their personal circumstances, but why they want to move too – is it a new job overseas, do they need a bigger family home, or is there problems with the house, or noisy neighbours?!

What is included in the sale?

You need to know exactly what you are paying for. Don’t be afraid to ask if you are getting the fixtures and fittings, the shed or the greenhouse, to put your mind at ease.

What is the minimum price the seller will accept?

Asking this question could save you thousands of pounds. It’s in the estate agent’s best interests to get a property sold, so they will usually hint at the lowest price their client would consider.

Can they tell you about the neighbourhood?

How do local schools perform? What is the crime rate like? Where is the nearest bus stop/ train station? Find out all you can about your potential new neighbourhood to ensure that you will be happy with your new home.

A Handy Guide for a Year of Colour E

ver wondered how to get your garden looking blooming lovely all year round?

Wonder no more (and grab those gardening gloves!) as our handy guide uncovers all you need to know to make your garden gorgeous twelve months of the year!

April

This month is the perfect time for planting gladioli and acidantheras, to bloom in the summer months.

Also, sow hardy annuals such as calendula officinalis (pot marigold), eschscholzia californica (California poppy) and nigella damascena (love-in-a-mist).

May

Now the risk of frost should have passed; it’s time to start planting your half-hardy annuals like cosmos, petunia and salvia, which will bloom until the first frosts of autumn. Plant any dahlia cuttings this month too.

June

With your garden bursting into life, it’s time to complete the planting of bedding and half-hardy plants. Fill the gaps in flower borders with fastgrowing annuals, such as morning glory and sweet peas. Don’t forget to prune your flowering shrubs like lilac and forsythia, once they finish blooming, to encourage a late flourish of flowers.

July

As your garden continues to bloom, this is a month for maintenance, rather than planting. Cut back on half of perennials that have flowered (lupins and delphiniums) – this can see them grow back again, later in the season.

August

As August sees your garden in full colour, it’s time to sit back and enjoy it! Although, if you’re keen to do something, colchicums (to bloom in the autumn) and spring bulbs (daffodils, crocus and hyacinths) can now be planted. Now is also a good time to plant biennial seeds (such as Miss Jekyll Alba) can also be sown.

September

Now the hard work starts! Winter and spring flowering bulbs; snowdrops, bluebells, daffodils, tulips, crocuses and anemones should be planted, this month, while biennials and perennials sown previously can also be planted. Sweet peas and hardy annuals can be sown in pots.

44

/RHUncovered

October

As the weather changes, it’s another month of garden maintenance! If you’re wanting to plant new trees, this is the best month, with more rain on the way. Of course, trees need to be planted along with plenty of water to take hold. Delphiniums, hostas, lupins and primroses (and other herbaceous perennials) should be divided and re-planted.

November

While you can still get out in the garden, continue planting your spring flowering bulbs (daffodils and tulips) and hellebore – that beautiful ‘Christmas Rose’!

December

With Christmas and the New Year quickly approaching and lack of daylight hours, it’s a good job there’s not too much to plant, during December!

January

After the busy festive period and usually the coldest month on our hands, again this is a month for general garden care and preparing yourself for spring!

February

February should see snowdrops and daffodils springing up and as long as there is no snow or frost – planting roses can now start! Divide any perennials, and then towards the end of the month, borders can be prepped for planting hardy annuals.

March

March always sees spring bloom into life.

Whilst admiring your daffodils, some summer bedding plants can now be sown.
