10 Welcome to October
28 16 35
Here we, are heading into Autumn; school routines are getting established again and half term is just around the corner. And what a very strange year this continues to be. Obviously, the virus is causing disruption to our normal routines, and worry the world over, but I think it’s quite amazing how adaptable we humans are. The majority of us have, even if in a begrudging way, adapted to new ways of life, different shopping routines, the wearing of a face mask in public places, and certainly different working set ups, and on the whole, an altogether more local way of life. Many have discovered new or forgotten hobbies and past-times; cooking, baking and gardening are amongst the most popular I believe, and having such wonderful, local suppliers and services has never been so helpful and appreciated. We remain thankful to all the key workers who continue to help us through these weird times; all the NHS staff, the many different delivery services, from post to prescriptions, our teachers, the police and fire services, paramedics and carers…. so many amazing people who selflessly carry on regardless, providing much needed services to help the rest of us, but also the shop owners and workers for the service they provide for our communities. And in support of everyone, the very least we can do is remember “HANDS / FACE / SPACE” So let’s all continue to do our part, and we will get thought this together!

poached pear ghosties ingredients method 1 lemon 1 vanilla pod, halved lengthways 500g granulated sugar 4 Waitrose Conference Pears 100g fresh raspberries 8 small dried blueberries (Serves 4)
1. Pare the zest from the lemon and squeeze the juice. Place in a medium saucepan with the vanilla pod, sugar and 1 litre of water then bring to a gentle simmer. 2. Peel the pears, removing a slice from the bottom so they can stand upright. Add the pears to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes then turn off the heat, leave to cool completely then chill until you are ready to serve. 3. When ready, place the raspberries on 4 small serving plates and mash with a fork until pulpy. Press 2 blueberries into each pear for the eyes then sit the pears on the raspberry pulp. Spoon over a little of the cooking syrup and serve.
cooking tip Make sure the pears are completely submerged in the liquid so they poach evenly – add a little more water as needed.
Prep: 15mins + cooling. Cooking: 25mins Recipe & Photo reproduced by kind permission of Waitrose. Over 5,000 recipes can be found at www.waitrose.com/recipes
Get more active, more often, your way During lockdown, lots of us have all come to realise how important exercise is to look after our physical and mental health. Keeping healthy has never been more important. Elmbridge Borough Council is launching a public consultation from 15 September to 31 October to inform their new Physical Activity Strategy for 2021-2026. The strategy will aim to tackle inactivity across the borough and focus on the wider benefits of regular exercise and participation in physical activity. It is important for us to gather residents’ views on what factors prevent them from exercising. We can then try and break down existing inactivity barriers and identify long-term, sustainable solutions to address the root of the problem. Help us to give everybody the opportunity to get fitter and healthier, doing activities they enjoy and that can easily fit in their everyday lives. Share your views on what would motivate you to become more active.
We are particularly keen to hear from people who are from BAME communities, people with a long-term health condition or disability, people who are over 50 and people who would consider themselves as currently inactive. This 5-year strategy is not about trying to engage inactive individuals in competitive ‘sport’ but rather inviting them to move more and more often to improve their physical health and mental wellbeing.
Please let us have your opinions and ideas: complete our onlin ne survey at elmbridge.gov.uk/sport for a chance to win a £50 Amazon voucher h If you would like to take part in our virtual focus groups and group discussions, please call 01372 474581 or email health@elmbridge.gov.uk. We would love to hear from you.

Behold, I Make all Things New In these unusual times, it is wonderful to be able to report that the work which started in June to re-shingle the Spire with Oak, was completed on the 25th August. The cost of the project was met by donations from parishioners, local residents, and organisations in Cobham. It is believed it was last re-shingled some 70 years ago using Cedar Wood which was, unfortunately, a favourite with the woodpeckers! It is hoped the use of Oak will present these birds with a challenge over the next 70+ years! I am sure readers will agree, that St Andrews Church Cobham, a Grade 1 listed building, and all those associated with it should be proud of their achievement, not forgetting the steeplejacks! The Parish Church was founded near the banks of the River Mole around 1150 during the reign of King Stephen, and possibly built on the site of an earlier Church. It is hoped the new look will help to inspire worshippers and the Cobham community as the future unfolds. David Tipping Member of St Andrews Church, Cobham

ON THE HORIZON?
With Christmas being on the horizon and the possibility of long term home working and/or home schooling, now is a great time to take stock of some of the new innovations and how transformative they may be in the future. Just remember it wasn’t that long ago when we thought the use of the webcam was for the occasional Christmas or Birthday greeting call! The two big game console manufacturers Sony and Microsoft have been polishing off their new arrivals, at the same time the major PC component manufacturers have been working hard, with one of the major announcements being the true high performance graphics card line which will provide really spectacular realism in 4K graphics, with the arrival of the GeForce RTX 2070 graphics card, with an indicated price of less than £500.00, this really will permit the PC to be the machine for all activities. If you are being limited by the range of your wifi internet connection, there is a new Mesh wifi range extender which can be installed in seconds and expanded to
provide coverage in the largest of properties, the Deco range offer an affordable and versatile solution which can be expanded to suit your needs as they evolve. We have a new range of curved monitors in stock which are very impressive, the clarity is first rate, the colour reproduction is excellent, and the curve really makes you feel more involved with what is on the displayseeing is believing! With the increase in home working, we have been very active in providing network and internet solutions for garden offices and cabins. Pretty well every installation is different, so if you would like to discuss your situation we probably have an very effective solution for you. Some products like webcam, headsets, laptops, tablets and home printers are still on limited availability, with availability being patchy until the New Year. Whatever your requirements are please call us as you may be surprised by what we can do and provide. Stay safe and we look forward to being of service to you.

I have been rocketed back down Memory Lane with the exciting revelation that the legendary Lamborghini makers of stand-out extra-special cars are in the process of raiding the super-car market with a breathtaking 200mph Lambo Huracan. Wow-wee! The latest model, priced at £180,840,will definitely glamourise my garage if I win top prize on the pools or benefit from an inheritance from a long lost millionaire relative. Okay it’s a whopping price - but measured against rivals in the mind-blowing supercar range it is, in my humble opinion, great value for your lolly. The model I owned in the 70’s was the Espada, a vividly scarlet four-seat GT Coupe, a target for the gawpers and the envy of all my pals - and plenty of strangers, too. It was my transport to Europe’s F1 venues, when I was covering Grand Prix racing for a national newspaper. And it made light work of the autoroutes, in utter comfort and blistering responses to my right foot demands, and as steady and safe as houses. Thirsty, though! But I didn’t care. It was too much of a pleasure to worry about its gulping ways. The latest version, the Huracan, is a jaw dropper. 202 mph, 0-62 in 3.3 seconds, its 602 bhp engine and a real wail of noise from its 5.2_litre power unit at 8,000 rpm. Fuel consumption, should you be bothered to worry about, varies between 20mpg and 11.5mpg when you hoof it on the motorways, or free-to-go-for it stretches on the Continent. If you are not satisfied with its pace, all you have
to do is drop down a gear or two in its seven-speed box and withstand being forced back into your seat, as the beast rears it head and roars away - but with complete steadiness and sureness. A real confidence boost. There are front and rear parking sensors to dodge any bumps during parking and keep the scratches at bay, priced at £1,350 and because you can’t see much out of the back you can buy a rear view camera for £1,440. But I would not bother with the £2520 sound package because when the car is on the go, and the decibles are high, it is a waste of money. Oh, and by the way, the Huracan’s pretty and eyecatching spectacular, but extraordinary paint job with a matt-blue finish and blindingly bright red hood, would set you back £11,250. All in all, if you go along with every one of the considerable number of extras offered you could run up a final bill of £229,536..... From a practical viewpoint the car is superbly turned out with a perfectly balanced chassis, which tightens its line if you lift off the accelerator, but it still gives you enough grip at the rear end to boost your confidence and trust in its behaviour. I don’t know what his response was, if ever he drove it, but Pope Francis was given one as a prezzie. But I would bet he would enjoy a hymn or two on the car’s ultra-wonderful sound system. There was a spell when Lambos left a bit to be desired in contrast with rival supercars - but not any more. Not with this beauty...
Happy Motoring!

Book Reviews OCTOBER 2020
You Will Never Be Forgotten by Mary South (Haperback £12.99) I loved the imagination, insight and pitch-black humour in these short stories. Mary South plays with the possible roles of technology g in our future, the emotional and very human challenges of trying to augment our lives in new ways. I loved the way she g , from telephones to brain mingles the real and already-present influence of technology surgery, with situations yet to be experienced. Can our slowly evolved minds keep up with these radical leaps into the future?
The Outlaw Ocean by Ian Urbina (paperback £9.99) This is a riveting tour of the hidden crimes and dramas on the world’s oceans. Ian Urbina spent five years, including three at sea, investigating the stories of trafficking, exploitation, illegal fishing, and many other dangerous games being played out on the open seas. He travels to nations and within organisations trying to redress the damage being done, from tiny countries like Palau fighting against illegal shark fin fishing in their territory, Sea Shepherd’s high-risk, high-speed chases in Antarctic waters, and those trying to rescue the many people trapped into slavery. A fascinating, important and astonishing book.
Flavour by Yotam Ottolengi (hardback £27) Yotam is back with ‘Flavour’, solely dedicated to vegetables. ‘Flavour’ takes Ottolenghis’s trademark style of vegetable cooking to the next level and dives into flavour combinations that let individual ingredients shine and enhance one another. The book is broken down into three sections, Process, Pairing and Produce. It is easy to follow and the results are amazing whether you consider yourself a good chef or a good family cook. Flavour is also beautiful, from the cover to all the sumptuous glossy photos of the recipes. A fantastic gift to treat yourself, or as a sumptuous gift for someone at Christmas.

COBHAM CEDAR CLUB W.I. From Anne Yeates
Like just about everyone else in the country, Cobham Cedar Club WI has been developing new skills over the last six months. Individually, our members have been able to spend plenty of time in their gardens, and many of our needlewomen have been involved with the inspiring effort led by Bookham Butterflies WI in making PPE for hospitals, ambulance services and care homes, and latterly, masks. Within the club, our greatest achievement has been meeting online via Zoom – yes, even at our age! Now veterans, the cries of, “Can you hear me?”, and, “You need to switch the camera on!” have lessened, and we have heard a good array of speakers, including West End theatre dresser Paul Read. The techniques involved in a quick change were astonishing, but more unexpectedly, we learnt that a dresser frequently becomes a performer’s confidant and righthand man for the several months of a show’s run. In July, local author and sleuth Monica Weller described how she uncovered the murderer of Dr Helen Davidson, a case closed by the police, and for our 30th anniversary pearl-themed meeting we were joined by the Pearly King and Queen of Woolwich. We enjoyed hearing about their history, costumes or ‘buttons’, charity work, a few songs, and most extraordinary of all, Jerusalem played on the spoons! Several of our members shared their lockdown photos with us, just a few shown here, and our brain cells were kept active by a series of quizzes. In October the local Citizen’s Advice Bureau will be talking about its work and how it can help, and wildlife photographer Tom Way will be telling us how he seeks the perfect shot.
