Welcome to Look Local Online

In these challenging days, rather than simply pause, we wanted to keep in touch with as many of you as possible and this seems like the best way to do so! Please share our website link with your contacts to help us spread our net as wide as possible, until such time, we can return to our normal hard copy distribution system, www.looklocalmagazine.co.uk - thank you. I truly hope that most of you are managing to keep well and that social distancing / self isolation isn’t proving to be too trying for you. I know it certainly takes a bit of adjustment, life has changed beyond recognition in such a short time. But it is so important that we keep our spirits up and remember that by staying at home, we really are helping the amazing key workers & NHS staff, who quite frankly, I think, all deserve medals at the end of this! What dedication and selfless devotion they are all giving. Of course, staying at home should also give us all the best chance of keeping safe and well, so it’s a win, win situation really, however challenging it is at times. Maybe this is a time when new skills can be learnt or a new hobby can be enjoyed? After 16 years in publishing I’ve been hankering after a little sabbatical for a while, but this is not an option when producing monthly magazines! This is not quite what I had in mind for sure, but there is certainly more time to get things done in the house! I’ve even had a go at painting. I’m not very artistic but it is very relaxing and I’m really enjoying it. Our on-line magazines are not quite the same as the normal printed versions; obviously there is no information on local events or notifications regarding local organisations’ meetings for you to attend, but we have added a few items which we hope may help to entertain you and your families. A few quizzes and puzzles and most of our usual contributions to read too. Also included of course, are our loyal advertisers, many of whom cannot provide the services they usually offer, at this precise time. I hope that if you are planning any work which may need their expertise in the coming months, when restrictions are lifted, that you will continue to support them. Bear in mind, that some of them are still available in an emergency and for some services, so do contact them if you think they can help. We are lucky to have such great local businesses, trades and services to help us out when needed. This is a difficult time for all businesses and we certainly want to support our loyal advertisers and hope they will soon be able to get back to work. With very best Regards,

Ros

WELLERS HEDLEYS SOLICITORS SUPPORTS

BOOKHAM

COMMUNITY FRIDGE After watching a TV programme that featured a Community Fridge and learning how this reduced the enormous amount of food ending up in land fill, the idea to have one here in Bookham started to develop. When the concept was adopted by the Trustees of The Meeting Place, and the leaders of Bookham Baptist Church agreed that it could be sited on their premises, what seemed to be a good idea, started to become an exciting new project that was close becoming a reality. The basic idea is very simple. Shops selling fresh produce are able to donate to the fridge rather than discard produce that can no longer be sold on their shelves, but is still safe to consume. The food is available to anyone, whatever their need. Local shopkeepers were onboard with the idea, but many do not have much that goes to waste, so in order to keep a steady supply of goods, we have had to look to the larger supermarkets too. We are often amazed when we make a collection at the variety of goods that would have been thrown away: Birthday cakes, flowers, dry goods, fruit, vegetables, salad, bread and pastries. In February, our first month of operating, we distributed 160 kilos of goods that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. In 7 collections from one supermarket, we have picked up 117 kg of food, the equivalent of 278 meals, making a saving of 374 kg of CO2 emissions! Win Win! We would like to thank Wellers Hedley’s Solicitors, Hylands Garage, Pearce’s Bakery, Layton’s Greengrocers, Wishing Well, Co-op in Bookham, Budgens in East Horsley, Waitrose and Tesco for their support in this venture. There are a lot of grateful recipients who tell us that having this facility makes a real difference to them. Wellers Hedley’s Solicitors saw the fridge in operation and loved the idea; they decided that we should become their chosen charity for Wills Month in May. Having this financial support allows us to purchase a bigger fridge and a bigger freezer, thus increasing our storage capacity and give us more supply options for the future. We are delighted by their generosity. The Fridge is open when the Meeting Place Coffee Shop is in operation at the Baptist Church on Monday, Friday and Saturday Mornings.

THE MEETING PLACE The Meeting Place is well-established in Bookham and we are already in contact with many groups in the community through our existing activities which aim to reduce isolation and strengthen our sense of community and belonging. We run a Language Hub offering classes to those whose first language isn’t English on Tuesday mornings. Our Coffee Shop operates on three mornings a week, and itself acts as a hub for services such as Hearing Champions. We also offer Lip Reading classes on Monday afternoons for anyone who finds their hearing loss isolating. For more information please visit our website www.themeetingplacebokham.org.uk and follow us on Facebook. * Please check before you attend during the Covid- 19 period incase of restrictions.

The Plastic Free Bookham project is currently on hold for the time being, but we have made good progress already and we’d like to update you about it. Remember, it’s all about trying to reduce avoidable single use plastics in our daily life in Bookham. A project website has been set up www.plasticfreebookham.org.uk with information about the project objectives, alternatives to plastic and plastics recycling. Sadly some of the smaller recycling collections e.g. Terracycle are not operating the moment, but at the time of writing our doorstep green bin collections continue. There is also a project Facebook page and Instagram account (both “plasticfreebookham”). Surfers Against Sewage, which runs the ‘Plastic Free’ accreditation scheme, is looking at what can be done to raise awareness online at this time. The first project objective is for Mole Valley District Council to demonstrate a number of specific commitments regarding single-use plastic. It has already passed a resolution to reduce single-use plastic, supports local environmental groups via the quarterly Environment Forum you may have seen the article in the Leatherhead Advertiser in March – and there is a councillor on our steering group. These actions should be sufficient to meet this objective. The second and third objectives require six local businesses and twenty community organisations – with a mixture of types - to remove or replace three

items of single-use plastic (including any actions already taken). Businesses must have a plan for tackling any remaining items, and organisations must pledge to support and publicise the project. Some progress has been made on looking at which community organisations might be suitable for inclusion; some are already ‘on the case’. Incidentally it is good to see that some of the local retail businesses who have been very supportive of our project goals are the very same ones who have risen to the challenge recently and helped keep food available and even set up deliveries. Do continue to support them! The fourth objective now requires two plasticfree events to be organised by the project team in any one year. Unfortunately this means that the monthly litter picks (currently suspended) won't count towards the events, but they are still vital so please do support them when they resume. The final objective requires a steering group to be set up to oversee the project - it met for the first time in January. Plastic Free Bookham is a project run by Transition Bookham, a group of local people who aim to raise awareness of environmental issues and make the village a more sustainable place to live.

THE BOOKHAMS’ RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION

Future Mole Valley Draft Local Plan

BRA & VILLAGERS RESPOND Following a great team effort by the BRA, the IliveinBookham.com website team and a host of volunteers the BRA response to the Future Mole Valley Draft Local Plan Consultation was delivered to the Council on Monday, 23rd March. In addition to the BRA submission, a campaign to encourage all in the village to respond individually to Draft Local Plan Consultation was also implemented during March with leaflets being delivered to every household by BRA Road Stewards and volunteers; a website, yourbookham.com, was also set up which gave guidance on the submission process and topics such as the Green Belt, education and infrastructure that residents should consider when making their response. This guidance was well received by residents and a big “thank you “ goes to all Bookham residents and interest groups who submitted their comments to the Future Mole Valley Consultation which what was a very weighty and complex process. The BRA submissions is available on the BRA website, but if you do not have access to the web, call our message line 0300 030 9890 and we will arrange for a printed version to be delivered to you. Mole Valley District Council will now take time to absorb ours and all the other responses and will then produce the next version of the Plan document under a regime known as Regulation 19. Again we should have the chance to comment and this will then finally go to the full Mole Valley District Council for agreement before being sent to a Government Planning Inspector for approval or otherwise. The regulation 19 document should appear much later this year and the Inspector could take up to a year to do his or her job. The MVDC Cabinet member responsible for Planning, Margaret Cooksey has repeatedly said that this Draft plan is not the one they finally expect to put forward. We will keep everyone in the village informed on what we find out as the months unfold.

BRA AGM Cancelled Following the Social Distancing directive from the Government, we have cancelled the BRA AGM in May. Depending upon the COVID-19 circumstances we expect to hold the AGM in the autumn. We will advise once the Government guidance is clear. Keep up to date with the BRA on our website: www.bookhamresidents.org.uk and our Facebook group: @bookhamresidentsassociation

Gardening Matters REDUCE WATER CONSUMPTION

At the moment, we’re in coronavirus lockdown: safe at home, as I prefer to think of it, rather than ‘stuck at home’. And yippee, gardening is one of the few things we can actually do during a lockdown, whatever size your plot. At the time of writing, it hasn’t rained for 2 weeks, having rained for about 19 months prior to this, so just in case it continues thus, here are some tips for reducing your water consumption. Water your garden early (with a watering can if there’s a hosepipe ban, obvs, to avoid being arrested by the water police). Early morning or dusk is best, as the sun isn’t as hot then. Aim to soak the roots, where the water is less likely to evaporate. And invest in moisture-conserving gel which absorbs, retains and releases moisture when plants need it, reducing considerably the need to water baskets and containers. Install water butts wherever possible to collect rainwater. Simple to fit if you have plastic pipes, they’ll reduce your water bill significantly if you’re on a water meter, especially in summer. Or, if you can hang on to the will to live - because the installation is a bit of a mission if you do it yourself - automatic drip watering systems are the most economical means of watering your garden and containers. They use about 90% less water than hoses and can be operated with a timer, so you don’t even have to be there. Now, here are a few ways to keep your garden looking good with minimal water usage this summer. Firstly,

Cecelia John: 01372 200 000

feed your plants. They’ll be more tolerant to dry conditions if they’re in optimum condition. Use a good quality granular or liquid fertiliser, or liquid seaweed. Secondly, breezes, hot sun and trees will draw water from the soil at the best of times during dry periods. Mulching will keep moisture in and is widely recommended as good gardening practice because it provides a protective covering for the soil, helping to reduce water loss from evaporation. Any mulch is good, but as I mentioned last month, my mulch of choice is Strulch. It helps retain soil moisture, even in times of drought, and your garden can grow beautifully without the need to water in dry periods. A good lawn needs a minimum of 18” of rain each year, needing a lot of that amount in summer to keep it green. In times of drought, don’t cut the lawn, or alternatively, set the blades higher. This will keep the moisture in. There’s also a fantastic product called Aftercut Lawn Revitaliser which includes drought-tolerant grass seed. Applied after each mowing, it keeps the lawn green and healthy with minimal additional watering. Lastly, you can help prevent evaporation by creating windbreaks with shrub planting. Select your plants carefully: tamarisk and escallonia, for example, are widely used in coastal areas, being extremely windtolerant. Let’s hope the lockdown has achieved its aim – and please stay safe.

paella-style chicken chipolatas Love paella? Then have a go at this spin on the classic Spanish dish using tasty chicken chipolatas. Save the extra oil from the jar of peppers and use in salad dressings or to fry vegetables. Delicious served with a smooth red wine like rioja.

ingredients method 280g jar Cooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ingredients Chargrilled Red Peppers in Sunflower Oil 12 Waitrose & Partners Chicken Chipolatas 4 garlic cloves, crushed 2 large tomatoes, coarsely grated 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika 250g bomba paella rice 160g pack sliced runner beans 500ml fresh chicken stock 2 rosemary sprigs (Serves 4)

1. Drain the peppers, reserving the oil. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large frying pan or shallow casserole dish over a medium-high heat and fry the chicken chipolatas, turning regularly, for 8-10 minutes, until golden all over; lift out of the pan and set aside. 2. Add the garlic, tomatoes and paprika to the pan, season and fry for 2-3 minutes until most of the water from the tomatoes has evaporated. Stir in the rice, drained peppers and the runner beans, then tip in the chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, return the chipolatas to the pan and nestle in the rosemary sprigs. Simmer briskly for 10 minutes, then turn to the lowest heat, cover with a lid (or a sheet of foil) and simmer very gently for 5 minutes until the sausages are cooked through and the rice is tender. 3. Take the pan off the heat and rest for 5 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and a green salad, if liked.

BOOK REVIEWS ‘The Mirror & the Light’ by Hilary Mantel (Hardback £25.00) This magnificent novel is the perfect antidote and consolation in these grim times we’re currently enduring. I’m only halfway through (it is 900 pages) but I’m eking it out as I don’t want to finish it. You do need to have read ‘Wolf Hall’ and ‘Bring Up the Bodies’ but I’m sure anyone who embarks on this book will have done so. Hilary Mantel is an exceptionally skilled writer of historical fiction, her detailed research and knowledge of the characters and period brings it to life and makes it a joy to read. This is one of the best books I’ve ever read.

‘Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead’ by Olga Tokarczuk, translated by Antonia Lloyd-Jones, (Paperback £8.99) This is a murder mystery set in the bleakest Polish midwinter. Janina Duszejlko is a former bridge engineer, school teacher, now reluctantly retired, and an astrology afficionado trying to make sense of the chaos around her. It is left to Mrs Duszejlko to investigate the murders of the men in her village and the disappearance of her beloved dogs. She is “already at an age and additionally in a state where I must always wash my feet thoroughly before bed, in the event of having to be removed by an ambulance at night”, which straight away endeared her to me. She is immediately present on the page, brilliantly funny and deeply melancholic about the world. She has romantic notions about the Czech Republic just across the valley. This was one of the best reads of the year and thoroughly enjoyable.

‘The Holdout’ by Graham Moore (Hardback £12.99) ‘The Holdout’ is a riveting legal thriller featuring a strong female lawyer. Maya Searle engages your support as she battles to save not just herself and her career, but also the lives and reputations of others.

Fetcham Tandoori has been my Curry Restaurant of choice for too many years to mention! It is always a treat to visit this family run restaurant, which opened way back in 1983. Following a recent refurbishment and the introduction of some wonderful new dishes, it’s now better than ever. We went along one Sunday evening and Anis Haque the owner, treated us to a selection of the new regional dishes they have on the menu. The restaurant looks really lovely. It is newly decorated and tastefully elegant. No electric water fall pictures here! The service was, as always, friendly and efficient, the staff know their regular customers, but everyone is made to feel very welcome. Anis told us about his decision to introduce some new dishes, which are more authentic and more in tune with the

food he grew up eating. In fact, his own mother’s cooking is the main influence for the new menu selections, and she spent many hours in the kitchen with Anis, putting together this exciting new menu. Ingredients are sourced locally, are organic when possible and are bought daily. Suppliers include highly regarded local butcher, Conisbee and Son’s, as well as Gray’s Gelato Ice Cream from Goldstone Farm. The cooking methods have also changed. Things are done in a far more traditional way; spices are slowly roasted and ground, in-house to create wonderfully fresh flavours and vibrant colours, and the end results are like individual works of art. In the photos included here, you can see for yourself some of the food we enjoyed; the flavours were mouth watering

and it was so good to try something a little different. Dishes are inspired by, and come from, different regions such as Bangladesh and India and these include a great selection of Vegan dishes and even a little bit of street food too! Of course, all the old favourites are still available for the slightly less adventurous, but I do strongly recommend stepping out of your comfort zone. If you are a little unsure about what to order, just ask. Anis or one of his team, will be more than happy to guide you. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret it. The take away menu is a little different from the a la carte, but has also been carefully put together to still offer a great experience at home too. I take my hat off to you Fetcham Tandoori, this is surely a winning combination. Your restaurant offers

a wonderful place to eat fabulous and authentic curry dishes with friends and family, whilst at the same time experiencing something a little different, which is truly special. THANK YOU FOR A LOVELY EVENING. WE WILL BE BACK VERY SOON. The dishes we enjoyed were:Bombay Bhel Beetroot & Aloo Murug Chicken Chicken Chettinad Murug Makoni Sagolir Manksho Saffron Pilau Peshwari Naan

KEEP CALM AND GRANGE ON!!!

Firstly, I would like to thank the local community for all your support and heartfelt messages, we are so grateful to you and hope everyone is keeping safe. Along with everyone else, this pandemic has had an unprecedented effect on The Grange. We support over 125 people a week who either live on our main site in Bookham, off site in flats owned by The Grange, or at home with relatives. During a normal week, the people we support access a full programme of sessions to not only teach them new skills but also enrich their daily lives. As soon as the Coronavirus hit, we immediately felt the impact. Restrictions on visitors to our main site in Bookham were put in place, in order to keep people as safe as possible, and our shops, cafes and all offsite activities stopped - literally overnight. All of our immediate fundraising activities were also postponed or cancelled which will have a long-lasting impact on our income. With government guidelines about social distancing in place, it was proving impossible to continue with our usual sessions, so more creative one-to-one activities have been implemented instead, for example, going for a walk around our lovely grounds (2m apart of course!),

cycle rides around the site and working in our walled garden. Activity packs have been posted to those who were no longer visiting or living on our site, providing a welcome distraction and keeping peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skills going! So far people have been making pomp oms and posting their photos to us and we are about to send out worry doll kits along with a live streamed tutorials and you tube videos. For a person with a learning disability, any change in their usual routine has a big impact on them. To suddenly find themselves with none of their usual sessions to go to, not seeing the same faces in the same environment, not regularly seeing their friends or tutors, has an immediate and profound effect. Here at The Grange, our amazing staff are doing everything possible to keep in touch with and support, not only the disabled adults who attend our services, but our team of 120 volunteers, parent carers and other stakeholders. Sending our best wishes to each and every one of you and hope you and your loved ones are keeping safe during such challenging times. For more information about The Grange and how to support our work, please look at our website: www.grangecentre.org.uk

CATERING FOR VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLARS WITH COMMON GARDEN WEEDS Surrey Wildlife Trust tips for helping moths and butterflies Small Tortoiseshell

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle is one of the most read and loved children's books in Britain, but what do we know about catering for very hungry caterpillars in our back gardens? While restaurants are shut nationwide, we can still open ‘caterpillar cafes’ in our gardens this spring and help boost the number of butterflies and moths by the summer when they are ready to emerge from their isolated chrysalis phase too. Top tip number one is don’t weed the garden everywhere. Some caterpillars love to binge out on weeds such as nettles, dandelions and brambles. And

38 Looklocal Magazine

when caterpillars need to eat, they really do need to eat and start growing immediately as a result. Caterpillars continue to lengthen at an astonishing speed by continually shedding their skins. Like many insects, caterpillars have a penchant for specific ‘food’ plants. Probably the most persecuted of all plants, the common ‘stinging’ nettle, is in fact one of the favourite foods for the comma, peacock, red admiral and small tortoiseshell caterpillars. But fear not, as gardeners know - not all nettles sting. The red deadnettle and white dead-nettle don’t sting, they are great

early nectar sources for bees, look pretty in flower and are tasty for caterpillars too. Another despised and dug up plant from many a proud lawn owner is the dandelion, which is another great source of early nectar for bumble bees in the garden. Caterpillars of the large white, orange-tip and peacock butterflies like to dine out on dandelions too. Gardeners either love or hate brambles. But butterflies love the sweet nectar from bramble flowers. They are also a top cuisine for many moth and butterfly caterpillars, such as, the comma, gatekeeper and many more. Garlic-mustard, also known as Jack-by-the-hedge, is a top caterpillar foodplant of the green-veined white and the orange-tip. Other weeds we often remove from Small Tortoiseshell Caterpillar - Vaughn Matthews

Peacock Larva

gardens are common sorrel, which is great for small copper caterpillars, thistles for painted lady caterpillars and wild teasel for red admiral and peacock caterpillars. As soon as a caterpillar is done growing and they have reached their full length and weight, they form themselves into a pupa, also known as a chrysalis. So like us butterflies and moths will also have their phase of self-isolation and in fact the pupal stage is one of the coolest stages of a butterfly’s life. From outside the chrysalis the caterpillar appears to just be resting, but on the inside it is rapidly changing. This is where the

magical transformation is taking place. Look out for the pupa, which looks like a withered leaf, hanging from the stems of the caterpillar food plant. Come later in the year, during the summer, many butterflies and moths will emerge in their dazzling array of shapes and colours and for the first time are able to spread their wings. Like The Very Hungry Caterpillar story, the butterfly or moth lifecycle brings a message of hope which Surrey Wildlife Trust would like to bring to people at this difficult time. So we encourage children and adults of all ages to leave the weeds and look out for those caterpillars munching and growing in the garden.

New guide encourages us all to take urgent action for insects · The Wildlife Trusts and partners launch new practical initiative to help insects and reverse sharp declines in their populations · A FREE downloadable Guide to Taking Action for Insects is packed with easy to follow practical tips for the garden and the home · With a connection to nature proven to boost wellbeing, it’s hoped the guide will help people and

wildlifetrusts.org/take-action-insects. It’s packed full of tips, useful info, and links to finding out more, all aimed at helping individuals and families make simple yet crucial changes to helping insects through the ways we shop, garden and run our homes. The guide has been authored by The Wildlife Trusts working with partner organisations including Buglife, Pesticide Action Network (PAN) and Garden Organic. It has been launched as part of a wider campaign called Action for Insects, which looks to reverse recent drastic population declines among insects. A recent report published by the campaign, authored by Professor David Goulson, concluded that 41% of insect species now faced extinction around the world, while population declines were widespread across other insect species. The report also highlighted the vital part played by insects in human food production and in their support of countless other birds, mammals and plants.

insects during these challenging times With the human population under threat from the Covid-19 pandemic, it has caused many of us to look more closely at nature. As spring gathers pace, more and more people are finding solace in the fascinating species that inhabit our gardens, parks and open spaces. With this in mind, local conservation charity Surrey Wildlife Trust is launching a new initiative today that urges us all to play a part in reversing the failing fortunes of some of our most easily overlooked wildlife: insects. Surrey Wildlife Trust is launching a new practical pack, Your Guide to Taking Action for Insects, which will help everyone do their bit in reversing decades of decline for the UK’s struggling bees, butterflies, moths, bugs and beetles. The colourful 20-page illustrated guide is available as a free download via www.

Your Guide to Taking Action for Insects recognises that some insects aren’t always popular with the public when it comes to wildlife, and that this is especially true when applied to gardeners. However, it highlights the crucial roles they play in pollinating flowers and crops, controlling pests and natural recycling, plus the beauty and joy that they bring to our lives.

space they have into a better place for mini-beasts, be it a window box, a garden or an allotment. Our guide gives them the inspiration and the practical know-how to take a few simple steps to making a big difference to their local wildlife. Insects are one of the key building blocks of life on which we and countless other familiar species from hedgehogs to garden birds rely. If we follow the guide’s advice as gardeners, shoppers and homeowners we can turn the tide on insect declines.” James Campbell, Garden Organic CEO says In a range of top tips for helping insects in people’s gardens, it gives guidance on going chemical- and peat-free, along with advice on which plants are best at combining colour, scent and attraction to bees and butterflies across the seasons. The guide stresses that all outdoor spaces, whatever their size and location, from tower block balconies to cottage gardens, can make a real difference to restoring insect numbers. Sarah Jane Chimbwandira, chief executive of Surrey Wildlife Trust, said: “We’re delighted to be launching Your Guide to taking Action for Insects. The warmer weather of spring combined with the current restrictions placed upon everyone in response to the Covid-19 virus means that people are spending more time in their gardens, yards and on their balconies. This guide provides people with advice on how to make positive changes to help insects, which will not only help the insects but boost morale too! We’re asking people to make whatever outdoor

“Garden Organic is pleased to be supporting the Action for Insects campaign. All gardeners and growers should celebrate insects who are part of the natural chain of life. Organic gardeners also help by creating habitats and shelter, as well as providing plants to feed and support insect life” Josie Cohen, CEO Pesticide Action Network UK (PAN UK) says “Everyone has a role to play in making the world less toxic so insects can flourish. By stopping using pesticides in your home and garden, and supporting businesses working to reduce chemicals in their supply chains, you can contribute towards building a healthier and more sustainable planet for both us and our sixlegged friends.” Your Guide to Taking Action for Insects is available now as a free download via The Wildlife Trusts website www.wildlifetrusts.org/take-action-insects.

This will keep your plants flowering share it with.

At Wild by Design we are embracing the ‘make do and mend’ spirit! With Garden Centres and Nurseries closed, many of us are finding our normal garden products difficult to find despite having the time and motivation to get cracking in the garden. Here are some handy tips to keep your garden flourishing and attracting wildlife! Our first tip is to compost your own waste. Find a quiet or corner of your garden to hide your heap from view. We construct our heaps by wiring pallets together. These may be difficult to find in the current climate. All you need is a structure that will allow water to drain through whilst holding together your fruit and vegetable waste as well as any green waste from the garden. Not only will you be producing your own compost for the garden, compost heaps provide a fantastic habitat for insects, small mammals and reptiles. The eggs shown in the picture are that of a Grass snake and they were found on the Wild by Design allotment compost heap in Bookham. Grass snakes are Great Britain’s only egg laying snake. All of our other native reptiles are ovoviviparous. This means that the females incubate fertilized eggs inside their bodies and give birth to live young. Our second tip is to save your coffee grounds. They are fantastic for mulching acid loving plants such as Primrose, Camelia, Rhododendron, Blueberry Bushes, Azalea, Sweetcorn, Hydrangeas and

Our third tip is to have a Banana! When you’re done make sure you throw your peel at the base of a Rose. Banana skins are full of potassium an essential ingredient for healthy roses. Whilst your roses won’t survive on banana alone, putting banana skin around the base of your roses will help to fix potassium into the ground. Roses are a fantastic way to attract pollinating insects and they are Great Britain’s favourite flower. Chopped up skins work best as they break down quicker but if you don’t have a knife handy then the whole thing is also good. Throughout the Covid crisis Wild by Design Landscapes are publishing a series of educational, wildlife related work sheets to teach kids about their gardens creatures and to give parents a much-needed break.

POEMCORNER OUR HEROES I’ll tell you a tale, that’s been recently written. Of a powerful army, so Great it saved Britain. They didn’t have bombs and they didn’t have planes. They fought with their hearts and they fought with their brains. They didn’t have bullets, armed just with a mask. We sent them to war, with one simple task. To show us the way, to lead and inspire us. To protect us from harm and fight off the virus. It couldn’t be stopped by our bullet proof vests. An invisible enemy, invaded our chests. So we called on our weapon, our soldiers in Blue. “All Doctors, All Nurses, Your Country needs you”. We clapped on our streets, hearts bursting with pride. As they went off to war, while we stayed inside. They struggled at first, as they searched for supplies. But they stared down the virus, in the whites of its eyes. They leaped from the trenches and didn’t think twice. Some never came back, the ultimate price. So tired, so weary, yet still they fought on. As the virus was beaten and the battle was won. The many of us, owe so much, to so few. The brave and the bold, our heroes in Blue. So let’s line the streets and remember our debt. We love you, our heroes, Lest we forget.

A CATS PROTECTION SUCCESS STORY

Jasmine & Hutch

Jan and Avril wanted to adopt two cats, and so came to visit siblings Jasmine and Hutch in their foster accommodation in September 2018. They were instantly wanted to have them! They were so friendly, that Jan & Avril felt like taking them home with them there and then. Jasmine has some ongoing health issues but as previously seasoned cat owners, they had been used to dealing with similar problems in their own elderly cats. Jasmine and Hutch were 13 years old when they went to their new home, and they very quickly became part of the furniture. They are beautiful in looks and temperament and have become more and more affectionate as we have all grown closer together. They are very fond of the children and babies that visit. They bring Jan & Avril much joy and laughter and

they love them both dearly. Despite now being 15 this year they both enjoy a game and Hutch frequently has mad moments where he flies up and down the stairs around the sitting room and jumps into the bath. He particularly loves the garden. He likes to be around people and where the action is. Jasmine is a quieter soul incredibly sweet and gentle. She loves being stroked and sleeping on one of our beds unlike her brother. She is very vocal and will nag continually until you sit down on the settee and she can cuddle up next to you. hey both want to help with our jigsaw puzzles and love joining in all our games. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for a more perfect pair of cats to share our home. Hutch being a bad loser! Thank you, Cats Protection! Jan and Avril

Ford PUMA CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY

Ford’s longstanding reputation to produce cars of quality and value for money, at all price levels, has taken another upturn for the best, with a surefire winner in the neat and tidy shape of the petite Puma, their latest challenger and already a mega prize winner. I am not the least bit surprised. They have excelled in every aspect over just about every rival and taken top honours in several of the motor industry’s treasured awards. Little wonder. A variety of judges have rightfully hailed it as a truly outstanding motor due to its all-round ability and attraction with its stylish appearance, keen handling, flexible and gutsy engine and host of technical attributes, including tyre pressure monitoring, to ensure the driver enjoys the benefits without undue worries. And that includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and warnings of unseen obstacles behind you and in your blind spot when you are reversing. Another useful trick in store comes when you lift up the rubber-lined boot floor and it reveals a large well that can cope with extra cases of luggage. Just in case you cram it with messier stuff and it gets too wet and mucky you can simply open a plug hole and sluice it all out. Clearly, the clever designers at Ford HQ, have come up with a good looker and helpmate that serves a useful purpose both for families and for the lonesome driver. With only 1.0-litre petrol engines available at

the moment you could be forgiven for believing the five-door Puma is more about being parsimonious and stingy on fuel economy rather than with a punchy and reactive performance. Well, you would be wrong, and in for a pleasant surprise. In absolute reality it is outstanding in both instances. In terms of size and price, its closest rivals will be Nissan’s Juke, the Skoda Kamiq and VW’s T -Roc. But unlike any of them, the Puma - for some odd reason named after the Amerian wild cat, enjoys and reaps the benefit of a type of hybrid technology that you would expect to find in far more pricey models combining nippy acceleration and sharp response to maintain a place in the madcap motorway rushes and with flexibility along the bumpy and dodgy narrow country lanes. The car is packed with smart ass technology - a piece of which is an astute aid when your arms are loaded with shopping or whatever. You can open the rear tailgate with a kicking motion beneath the rear bumper. When you consider all the stylish and outstanding Puma attributes and the clever thinking that has gone into them, you could be forgiven for imagining the price tag will be formidable. Wrong! A mild 125 hp version will set you back around twenty grand. If that is not a deal in comparison to its rivals in the overcrowded SUV market I do not know what is. My advice? Go for it. Performance: 125HP. Speed: 0-62 mph in 9.8 seconds. Top speed 119 mph. Cost £20,845...but haggle!!!!

MOLE VALLEY REWILDS! Join us in repurposing your outdoor spaces, growing your own produce and encouraging more wild flowers into the district this summer.

With spring having sprung and many of us now having more time to spend in our gardens and outside spaces, Mole Valley District Council is launching a “Rewilding” campaign, to encourage residents and businesses to give nature a helping hand by repurposing and rewilding sections of their outdoor areas. We are suggesting remodelling sections of gardens or outdoor areas and creating vegetable patches. By composting (rather than recycling their garden waste) residents could also make their own supply of nutrient rich compost, to help their produce grow. By leaving sections of gardens to nature, “rewilding” will occur, allowing wild flowers to grow and encouraging much needed food and shelter for wildlife species. These species in turn will improve the bio-diversity of our area and help to make it even more beautiful and fertile. Councillor Claire Malcomson, Cabinet Member for Environment said, “The links between nature and mental well-being are well documented. By taking part in

our “Rewilding” campaign residents will benefit on many levels, be it harvesting the fruits of their labour from their new vegetable patch, utilising their home composting to nourish flowers in window beds, or watching on as a new type of wildlife is encouraged into their outside space as a result of rewilding. On a district level, the results could be immense with an increase in beautiful flora and fauna in our area.” Mole Valley will be showcasing the stunning results of your repurposing on its social media Instagram feed. So when plants spring to life, your first produce is harvested, your garden starts to rewild, or you see new birds and wildlife in your outside space, please share these images with Mole Valley via Instagram using #molevalleyrewilds Look out for more information and insight into the work Mole Valley District Council does to promote species biodiversity and improve the environment.

HOW TO REPORT ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR ON NORBURY PARK Antisocial behaviour is never nice to deal with and can have a lasting effect on people using Norbury Park if it’s not dealt with. The Park is used by a lot of different people normally without issue, however there have been incidents of antisocial behaviour that people have contacted us about. These have included quad biking and motorbiking on areas of the site they shouldn’t be and confrontations between cyclists and pedestrians to name but a few. If at any time you see illegal activity or find yourself in a situation that gets heated or could get violent or dangerous you must call 999 to get Police assistance immediately. Never hesitate to do this or feel that you can’t, the call centres are trained to help triage calls and help you to understand the severity of the incident you might be involved in. If the incident you witness is less than this, but still something you are concerned about, contact the Police on 101. It’s really important that these kind of calls are made, as the Police will use this data to ascertain whether or not there are ongoing problems in areas, or if it is just a one off, this can also often inform resourcing they may allocate too. The Police will be looking for key information such as date, time, activity etc. They do often ask if you can provide additional information that would make an individual standout such as an unusual hat colour and or specific logos etc. It can be difficult to describe where you are when you are in the countryside and we’ve all fallen foul of how big an area Postcodes cover. The Police are now using a system called What 3 Words, where every 3x3m squared piece of land has been assigned 3 unique words, for example Norbury Park Wood Products has been assigned Singer.Ideas.Civic. Follow this link to find out more https://what3words. com/singer.ideas.civic, you can then click on the map

to find the words assigned. With respect to who can drive, ride a horse, cycle or walk where, below are the specific designations for the 4 types of Rights of Way that exist footpaths - can be used for walking, running, mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs bridleways - can be used for walking, horse riding, bicycles, mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs restricted byways - can be used for any transport without a motor and mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs byways open to all traffic - can be used for any kind of transport, including cars (but they’re mainly used by walkers, cyclists and horse riders) although they must be road legal and have the relevant insurance – this is the designation for Admiral’s Way on Norbury Park. We are often asked at the Surrey Wildlife Trust whether or not we can deal with incidents ourselves and/or report incidents on behalf of people. We are not an enforcement agency and have no powers beyond those of a normal individual to take action against antisocial behaviour, therefore we do always ask people to call the Police. It’s very difficult for us to contact the Police on behalf of others as the information ends up being third hand and very fragmented and it waters down the power of the information provided. Therefore, we ask people to make direct contact based on what they see. We do however log every incident we are made aware of on site, we create our own incident reports that are logged and reviewed, which also help us to build up a picture of which sites might have issues and which don’t. We often take action off the back of information we have received and over the last few years we’ve worked closely with the Surrey Police 4x4 unit specifically around inappropriate vehicle usage on Norbury Park and for the time being this seems to have subsided.

Crime Reduction NEIL CLARKE, 13362 CRIME REDUCTION ADVISOR EASTERN DIVISION

As I am writing this at the beginning of April for publication next month, you will understand that it difficult to focus on seasonally specific crime prevention at a time when the whole world is facing unprecedented challenges? Like everyone, I am hoping that, by May, the tide will have turned in our favour but that is currently uncertain. The first (and perhaps, the only) positive thing I have noticed is that the level of burglaries taking place has dropped significantly. I can only guess but, it seems to me, one possible reason is that so many people are having to stay at home - including the burglars!! Normally, once Easter has passed, I need to remind people about not leaving valuables on view in their cars when parked up at local beauty spots. Whether that advice will be relevant this year remains to be seen? Currently, on Government advice, we are discouraging visitors from outside the area to drive to beauty spots to take exercise. It is fine for local residents to exercise at local places, following social distancing, unless people are from the same family group. If you are thinking about getting some gardening underway, it might be the time to mark your garden tools and equipment with some gloss paint to make

64 Looklocal Magazine

it easily identifiable and less attractive to thieves? Perhaps you could paint a home post code, house name or some other unique mark on the tools. They are still perfectly usable. Also, if you are working out in the garden, remember to make sure that your windows and doors have not been left open - offering a would-be burglar an easy way into your home. Another very positive situation I have noticed in recent times is that people are making the effort to look out for the older and more vulnerable members of our community. People have been offering to do essential shopping for housebound neighbours and many local stores have been offering free home deliveries. That has been a heart-warming situation to witness and just goes to show that there is a great deal of kindness within our communities. The hand-clapping in support of our NHS staff and carers is another example of how something so simple can make a difference to our morale. As long as we all pull together and follow the current Government guidelines strictly we will come through this incredibly challenging time. I wish you and all you families and friends all the very best and keep safe!!
