Welcome to November
I hope you are all well and keeping cosy as we head into the colder winter months! I have enjoyed some lovely autumn walks this year, with my trusty hound of course! The blackberries seemed to arrive particularly early this year and I was delighted to gather several containers full, which are now safely packed into my freezer for winter treats! I also collected a large bag full of sloe berries which were in abundance this year. These are also in my freezer and I must make some time to sort them out. Apparently Sloe Gin is easy to make and very delicious, maybe I could just about get some ready for Christmas or perhaps I have missed the boat on that front ! Either way, it will be fun to give this a go! As well as berries, the acorns and conkers seem to be plentiful too, and the squirrels are happy it seems. They have been busily collecting and burying/storing them away in secret hideaways for winter feasts. I do love the autumn months. The colours and the light if caught on the right day, can be spectacular and with all the beautiful countryside around Surrey we are very lucky to be able to witness magnificent colours as the leaves change, often from our windows in many cases. November is of course a time to remember; 11th November marks the day that WW1 ended — at 11am, on 11th day of the 11th month in 1918. So let's all pause for two minutes at that point, to remember the fallen. Over recent years November has also become the month when many grow a moustache to mark 'Movember’ and raise funds and raise awareness for men’s health. I’ll be keeping an eye out for some new ‘tashes over the coming months! Keep well and please do remember: ‘Hands/Face/Space’ Wash your hands regularly, especially when you return home. Cover your face with a mask when going into public spaces and keep a good distance from others. We need to keep on with these new rituals, especially in the winter months. I look forward to being back with you for our December/Christmas issues. With Warm Regards,
Ros x

KEEPING UP TO DATE
It’s easy to be cynical and suggest that manufacturers are creating their own consumable market for their product by creating a “life cycle” for their goods. Microsoft, for example, publish their product life cycle to help customers plan better. This can be found on www.docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/lifecycle/products If you are an Office 2010 user you may be surprised to hear it is coming out of support on 13 Nov 2020. This means no updates, no support and its security will not be current or relevant. Again, you may say this is just manufacture “up-sale talk”. Do you recall very recently there was a huge discrepancy in the incorrect reporting of the daily Covid-19 Virus cases by nearly 16,000 cases? The sole reason for this inaccuracy was because Public Health England used an out dated version of Excel files to collate the figures. The version type they used only had a certain file capacity range of around 65,000 rows. Had they been using the newer file type, this figure is more than a million rows, the daily figures would have been more accurate? It was because of this discrepancy that the figures were misreported by a dramatic amount. We are not saying you have to be filling every corner of your spreadsheets to see these problems, but this was a very real situation.
Microsoft have just announced that if you are using their Office 365 product on a Mac you have to be using the macOS v 10.14 or above, to receive the updates from November onwards To ensure your Windows 10 version is up to-date go to start > settings > update and security > windows updates > then check for updates. In certain situations you may have to install earlier updates before adding the latest version. This process sometimes taking several hours to complete, so be patient! Since March we have seen a huge increase in the requirement to improve the wifi broadband coverage across your home to ensure there is sufficient coverage for all users. A range of products which are based on the mobile phone broadcasting technology called MESH, have provided an easy to install, cost effective solution, which is full expandable to cover the largest of properties. The devices are intended for user installation, so no special tools and tricks are required. As we provide full solutions, we have also “wifi’d” customers gardens, out-houses and pool rooms. Should you have a need of this nature, please do enquire for further details We support thousands of customers – why don’t we support you?

The Wildlife Trusts launch £3 £ 0 million appeal to kickstart nature’s recovery across 30% of land and sea by 2030 Restoring Surrey’s lost chalk grasslands on the North Downs Sarah Jane Chimbwandira, chief executive of Surrey Wildlife Trust, said: “We all need nature more than ever. We all need to rewild our lives to support a green recovery. By supporting our 30 by 30 target we’ll have wilder landscapes that store carbon and provide on-your-doorstep nature for people too. Our vision for Surrey is an abundance of wildlife in people’s gardens, alongside footpaths, road verges and through towns with rivers and hedgerows providing living corridors to enable wildlife to thrive.” The Surrey 30 by 30 project: Restoring Surrey’s lost chalk grassland on the North Downs Funds raised by The Wildlife Trusts’ new 30 by 30 appeal will go towards nature recovery projects that will put new land aside for nature as well as repair and link-up existing, fragmented, wild areas. The iconic Surrey landscape, which people have visited for day trips from London and further afield for centuries is suffering. Surrey has some of the fastest declining wildlife populations in England, with one third of its species now either extinct or in danger. This includes local extinctions of some bee species, such as the shrill carder bee. The most well-known places on the North Downs are rooted in the hearts and souls of local people as ‘go to’ places to visit at weekends for peace and relaxation. Many families have benefitted from this landscape for generations. But now we need to give back to this landscape for future generations. Improving the condition of this chalk ridge in popular visitor destinations as well as lesser known places such as Hackhu hurst Downs, Norbury Park and Sheepleas. England has lost more than 80 per cent of its chalk grassland which is devastating to pollinators and insects. Now more than ever we must take action, because we are facing a pollinator and insect crisis, with 41 per cent of insects facing extinction. The vision is to expand flowerrich chalk grassland and wildflower meadows along the North Downs, so they become alive with the humming of

bees alongside beautiful bugs and butterflies dancing from flower to flower. Support The Wildlife Trust’s 30 by 30 public appeal and Surrey Wildlife Trust will: • Work in partnership with farmers, landowners and vineyards on the North Downs to identify f poor quality chalkl k and and target areas for chalk grassland restoration • Get Surrey buzzing with local groups, volunteers and schools who want to restore colourful ribbons of community greenspaces with wildflower superhighways for pollinators • Encourage local authorities to relax their management of road verges and parks, letting grass grow longer and allowing wildflower areas to develop, to save costs by reducing grass-cutting and benefitting wildlife • Engage new environmental advocates in counting the abundance and diversity of pollinator species like solitary bees and hoverflies in the county. • Enable volunteers to get their gloves on to remove unwanted vegetation which smothers and prevents the wildflowers and plants we want to flourish • Restore and repair hedgerows, which support pollinators and some of our most-loved species such as hedgehogs and dormouse.

Book Reviews NOVEMBER 2020
Summerwater by Sarah Moss (Hardback £14.99) Sarah Moss is a masterful writer who infuses her characters’ thoughts with dark humour and insights into the challenges of modern life. In run-down cabins around a Scottish loch, several families are holidaying, or trying to, in perpetual rain. One group has kept the others awake with loud music and party t ing, and the sense of mounting tribalism and danger is skilfully drawn. I love Moss’s ability t to capture the viewpoints of people of different ages, allowing the reader to weave their way through their ideas and voices t een are beautifully captured until they finally come together in a common cause. In betw glimpses of local wildlife responding to the humans in their midst. A brilliant read. Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton (paperback £8.99) This is a yarn about a Brisbane boy growing up amidst poverty, violence and crime yet it is still infused with joy and humour. Dalton is a celebrated magazine journalist in Australia, known for his lyrical prose, so it comes as a shock to learn of the brutal circumstances of his upbringing but he has managed to write a wonderful coming of age novel where Eli, the narrator of the story, is just trying to follow his heart and be a good man, but life just keeps throwing obstacles in his way: a lost father, a mum in jail and heroin dealer for a stepfather. But Eli’s life is about to get a whole lot more serious when he falls in love. There is plenty of grim violence in this book but it is also a story of brotherhood, true love and the most unlikely of friendships. The Last Giants: The Rise and Fall of the Afr f ican Elephant by Levison Wood (hardback £20) Levison Wood spent a month following the annual migration routes of Botswana’s elephants to the Okavango Delta. This book explores elephants from their very beginning and looks towards possible futures. The reader is taken on a fascinating tour of elephant evolution, biology, and their essential role in supporting ecosystems. I was astonished to read about how their family groups, behaviours and bodies are changing as a result of increasing human activity in lands that elephants have walked for millions of years. Wood takes a clear-eyed look at hunting, poaching, conservation, and possible solutions which are urgently needed to keep both elephants and humans flourishing together.

TOYOTA
YARIS Reviewed by Ted Macauley
I have found a new and fresh way to spell EXCELLENCE. It is Y-A-R-I-S. And that is Toyota’s latest and fab super mini - a fine example of efficiency and super-duper value for your hard-earned lolly. Petite and shapely, with attractive curves, the latest edition Yaris, a very fine product of Toyota’s inventive brain-boxes has been re-designed from the floor up. It is rewardingly economic to run, good to look at and a real treat all round to own; a leader in the over-crowded jam of super-minis that transport you and yours with ease and comfort either in and around town or on your ventures up to Lake Windermere and beyond, after a motorway trek. The sleekly styled hatchback, a smooth ride on its 17" alloys, encourages it occupants to sit back in reasonable comfort while they absorb the resonance and melodic offerings from its premium sound system with its eight...yes EIGHT...speakers. If you think nobody buys weeny cars any more you are mistaken. Not if Toyota are anything to go by. Last year alone they put the wind up their opponents and sold 224,000 of their third generation Yaris in Europe and rewardingly and deservedly claimed a 7.6 per cent share of the B-segment. The latest hot shot has been utterly redesigned from its wheels up. It’s handsome looks of a folded
rear end with optional two-tone paint, make it an instantly recognisable Toyota and when you are comfortably seated behind the steering wheel you will be able to gaze at those attractive rear arches in your mirrors. You sit 60mm further back than in the old model and your hip point is over 20mm lower as well. The newly designed model starts at £19,910. Even that basic beginner is well and satisfyingly and sensibly equipped with a smaller, neater seven-inch touchscreen, reversing cameras and all manner of useful add-ons, an easy hands reach away. If I do have a moan - fussy me!!! - it is the cheap plastics, and a lack of headroom for those seated behind the driver. Here in the UK, while its trim levels and option packs are aplenty, we will only see one power train; a 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder connected to a small battery and an electric motor. Total output to the front wheels is 114bhp. That may not sound too vigorously rewarding - but, remember, the Yaris weighs a little over one tonne and manages a respectable 0-62 mph in 9.7 seconds. And it will further reward you with a return of 60mpg in town and almost 70mpg away from the hustle and bustle. How about that? There is not a lot more praise I can offer on this wee treat.Test one and see if I am right....
Happy Motoring!

Are You Ready for Pregnancy? Being healthy before you start trying for a baby can help your chances of conceiving and going on to have a happy and healthy pregnancy and birth. Maki k ng a few small changes to your lifesty t le can make a big difference for you and your baby. NHS health and care services across Surrey have come together to launch a 12-month campaign called #ReadyforPregnancy to raise awareness of things women and their partners can do before conception to improve fertility, pregnancy health and their baby’s future health. Eating healthily and watching your weight Eating a healthy, nutritious diet is especially important if you’re planning a pregnancy. Your baby relies on you to provide the right balance of nutrients to help them grow and develop properly even after they are born. By aiming for a healthy weight, you increase your chances of conceiving naturally and having a healthy pregnancy and baby. Being overweight when you become pregnant can affect the way your baby develops in the womb and it also increases the risk of miscarriage. Going smoke-free Quitting smoking is the most important thing you and your partner can do to give your baby the best start in life. If you are planning a pregnancy or are already expecting, talk to your GP practice, midwife or local stop smoking service about the support available for both of you to quit. Getting in to shape If you’re not used to exercising, or haven’t done any in a while, now is a good time to start. Try starting with 10 minutes of daily activity and build up to 30 minutes each day. The more active and fit you are during pregnancy, the easier it will be for you to adapt to your changing shape and weight gain. It will also help you to cope with labour and get back into shape after the birth.

Taking food supplements Taking a folic acid supplement when you are trying to conceive until you’re 12 weeks pregnant is really beneficial. It can reduce the risk of problems in your baby’s development in the early weeks of pregnancy and lessen birth defects such as spina bifida. The NHS recommends taking 400 micrograms of folic acid every day as well as eating foods that contain folate such as f green vegetables. leafy Find out more about preparing for your pregnancy by searching online for ‘Ready for Pregnancy Surrey’ and #ReadyForPregnancy on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
