The months are certainly skipping by faster than ever this year, how can it be June already? We are delighted to offer a slightly musical theme to this issue, with a great competition offering the chance to win 2 tickets to go and see Mr. Tom Jones performing live in nearby Esher this summer. I must confess to not being a massive fan BUT I once saw him on stage at an Amnesty International concert alongside many other acts and he was amazing! He is such a showman and he certainly stood out amongst the acts that night. This is a great prize, so do have a go… remember, you’ve got to be in it to win it! And funnily enough, our Poem of the Month gives Tom a mention too, check it out! Another competition, not so musical this time, but offering the chance to win a signed postcard-sized photo of Lewis Hamilton. This might be an easy question for many of you motor racing fans out there, so why not give it go? Our lovely gardening expert Selina Botham provides another inspirational feature. I’m even tempted to pull on my wellies and attempt a little make-over in my own garden! It’s a busy time of year in general and we have details of many other local events, too many to mention here, so I hope you can find something that tickles your fancy. Until next time, do take care… Warmest regards,

ASK BRUCE:
PLAYING BALL Look Local reader Peggy has a working cocker spaniel who loves to play ball over and over again. Peggy asks: will this repetitive running after the ball damage his leg joints or, as a working dog, is he able to withstand a lot of exercise? It’s great your dog loves to play, Peggy, but the intensity of this repetitive activity could be doing him more harm than good. Chasing after a ball if done to excess can be harmful for dogs, even fit working dogs. Very often, they get too tired, but it takes a while for you to realise this, and by the time you do, they will have become overtired, over-exercised and will have risked putting unnecessary pressure on their joints. The sudden changes of direction that are involved in playing ball can also put too much stress on your dog’s legs, so try to avoid this. It’s best not to overdo any one activity. As with all things, everything in moderation is fine. Look for alternative types of play instead. Spaniels are well known for their intelligence as well as their high energy levels. Why not introduce a slower form of play where they need to engage their mind, such as hiding the favoured ball or some dog treats in a small space for them to sniff out? Still great fun, but much kinder on the joints. Bruce Casalis is director & founder of Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, a multi-award winning business in Esher.

TOM JONES
AN OPEN AIR CONCERT AT SANDOWN PARK RACECOURSE +
19TH JULY 2017
+
Join in the conversation online #JCLive17 1. Your popularity never seems to wane and your fanbase continues to attract new, younger generations. Why do you think that is? It’s unavoidable and true that all performers and artists go through ups and downs. The only thing you can do is have confidence in yourself and your abilities and hope that the work you do is well received. It’s impossible to predict that moment in time when somebody who sees you will be the person who will offer the next opportunity. And who knows where that opportunity will lead? 2. You’ve played at Sandown Park racecourse before (3 years since the last time). What is it about the racecourse shows that you enjoy playing, as we know you have done a few for The Jockey Club Live around the UK before? The racecourses put on a great night out for everyone. Who wouldn’t want to come to see the world’s best horses and jockeys run, have excellent food and drink, have great fun with their friends and see top-notch entertainment? 3. What can people who haven’t seen you before expect from a Tom Jones concert? If someone hasn’t seen me live before, they will get more than they ever imagined. This is the same for all live performances (if they’re good), and it’s the reason why people spend their hard-earned money and precious time to go out and experience a live show: they’ll get to know the performer much better and will be taken to a
12 Looklocal Magazine - February 2017
wonderful place. 4. If there were one show that you’ve done during your career that you could relive, which one would it be and why? You can never relive the past in the same way, so although I appreciate and enjoy the memories, I always look to the future. 5. With such a catalogue and recent criticallyacclaimed albums, how do you keep your set lists interesting for you, but also ensure your audience goes home happy? By mixing it all up and keeping things fresh. Actually, most people are delighted by surprises. They feel invigorated when they’ve experienced something unexpected. There are a few things I keep the same as well, simply because they are so good as they are. 6. It’s fair to say you’ve recorded a lot of different musical styles throughout your career. Have there been any genres that you haven’t done and would like to explore, or some that you just don’t want to touch? Although I’ve been pretty flexible over the years, of course there are genres that I just wouldn’t touch because it wouldn’t sound genuine coming from me. However, there are always elements of things that are worth having a crack at, as you never know if a contribution from me would work as a unique flavour for a producer or artist.
7. We’ve heard that you used to own some horses in the 60s. How hands-on were you and did you get enjoyment out of it? Would you consider ownership again, even as part of a syndicate? I love horses but never had the time to be very handson. I left that to the experts. I never thought about an investment, but perhaps I will! 8. It’s great that you’re back with The Voice. Was it an easy decision to make when ITV got in touch? Once I got the measure of things from the producers, it was an easy decision. I had such a great time with my fellow coaches this year, and the whole ITV production team was excellent to work with.
9. Does the fact it’s on ITV rather than the BBC make any difference to how the show is working and the chances open to the acts coming through the series? Well, that depends on so many things. The fact that ITV is a commercial venture does help the record company integrate into the process, but ultimately there are so many factors at work that contribute to the success of an artist. Being on The Voice is just one opportunity, and it’s a helluva test of talent and personality. If the contestant can get through to any point in the show, then take away what they’ve learned, they’ll be better off for it.

This guide about backing up our computers was written by Les Beer, from Tecres in Leatherhead, which has been providing computer solutions since 1989. 01372 370300
We have previously reported on the variety of email and telephone scams where fraudsters have attempted to gain control of your computer and then claim that they can “fix” problems for a very tidy sum. These scammers are still very active in our area, so be cautious. Our advice is don’t open unexpected emails with attachments and don’t entertain unexpected phone calls which claim to be from any of the large IT manufacturers such as Microsoft: they are unlikely to be calling you. The scammers have become more confident in their methods. Recently, there was a report that both Google and Facebook were taken for more than $100m in a fraud lasting from 2013 to 2015. Further information can be obtained on http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ technology-39744007. If you feel you have been a victim and you would like your equipment checked over, please do get in touch, as this is something we have carried out for many concerned users. Data backup and security Probably the most important thing about your computer is the data is holds, whether this is your documents or photos or music collection. The most

mechanical component of your computer-, and therfeore the most unreliable, is the hard drive where your data is stored. We have seen an increasingly high number of failed drives recently, where the users have no backup and this is the only copy. There are some really simple steps to back up your data and remove your reliance on having all your data in one place. The most common options are: • USB external drive - this plugs straight into your machine and you create a copy of the required information. The benefits are it’s low-cost, starting at £55.00, and reasonably quick; the disadvantages are the external drives can fail, the copying is often a manual process and can be overlooked, and only available to that one user. • Network-attached storage (NAS) - this plugs into your router. The advantages are that many users can access the information, many hard drives can be in a NAS, thus offering greater resilience and capacity,. The disadvantages are that it’s a bit slower to copy large volumes of data to, and at a higher cost. If the NAS is in the same building as the computers, all data could still be lost if you suffer a flood or fire. • The Cloud - we have a facility where your data is automatically backed up as soon as it is created. The data is copied offsite and has full security, encryption and protection. The disadvantage is that sometimes, copying large amounts of data can take a while. This backup facility is included as part of our Total Care package.This is the backup most businesses are using.

Design INPlanting GARDENS +
The making of a beautifil garden
A
ward-winning local garden designer Selina Botham tells us all about garden design and its step-by-step process to creating the garden you want. Once the specification and drawing for the hard landscaping have been sent to several landscapers, and quotes returned, they are carefully analysed. I meet with the client to help them assess which landscaper is best suited to do the job, what the cost differences are and what timeframe suits the client best. Normally, when the build has started, I will be visiting the site regularly to confirm that the garden is being built along the lines of the design. As the build progresses, sometimes planting bed sizes change slightly from what I had planned and also availability of plants does vary, so I find it’s best to design the planting scheme as close as possible to when the garden is ready for planting. I’ll normally design the main structural planting of trees and hedges as part of the outline design but I’ll confirm these suggestions with my clients at this point (during the planting design stage). We’ll meet to confirm their
24 Looklocal Magazine - February 2017
+
plant preferences and ensure I don’t miss anything. I give my clients pictures of the plants I think they will like and this gives them the opportunity to think about what they like and they may then remember a plant which they absolutely love or even see one that they forgot to tell me that they really hate! As with all stages of the design process, it’s much easier to change something when it’s on paper. Plants often have great sentimental value and may hold memories of a family member or a happy time in their childhood. I want to get the garden right, so including these plants and saving precious plants they already have are important steps. I’ll also take great care to ensure seasonal interest and a good mix of evergreens and deciduous trees and plants. Too much of one or the other creates an unbalanced feel and actually, too many evergreens close to the house can make a depressing outlook and cut out important winter light from the house and garden. The main structural and screening trees are often chosen to compliment and fit in with the planting scheme
Part 4
brief. This may include hot and fiery colours or a gentle paler pallet. Sometimes, a planting scheme can be quite minimalist and structured, other times a fuller and more romantic look is required. The planting design involves careful consideration of plant height, texture, colour, as well as achieving a balance and structure across the whole garden. Inevitably, practical considerations such as maintenance and growing conditions need to be considered too, so that the new planting scheme will flourish. Soil conditions, light and shade and soil PH all need to be considered and plants chosen accordingly. The ultimate size and shape of a plant is also needed, so that plants can be selected for the right location. The amount of maintenance needed and the ability of the gardener is also something that needs to be discussed. Designing a planting scheme is a challenging and complicated problem-solving exercise and takes a good deal of thought and experience to get right. There is a great deal of trust involved too because when a garden is first planted, the plants look small, and if they
are deciduous and it’s winter, they may even look dead! However, just a few months into the first growing season, the garden starts looking good, and by the end of the first season, it will be looking great... and in two or three years, it will be reaching its peak. I can suggest when it’s worth spending a bit more on a key structural plant and when it’s better to save the money and buy smaller plants. It’s really not worth planting for instant effect, as this will mean plants are too close together and have to be removed later, or you may find that plants don’t then have enough room to grow to their eventual size. RHS show gardens (although fun) can be misleading, as they are more like a living flower arrangement than a real garden, since plants are displayed right next to one another and not planted as they would be in the garden. If you would like to redesign your garden and need some professional help, contact Selina on 07894 553 202 or see her website for further ideas designsforallseasons.co.uk and her Facebook page Selina Botham - Designs for all Seasons.

Ted Macauley test drives the new 1.2 Citroen C3
don’t know whether it’s because of my Hollywood handsome looks, but ego-tripping conceit apart, I attracted a whole new wave of stares and intensely curious glances a couple of weeks back. Then I realised it was not so much me as my transport. A rather funky, if not quite off-the-wall but certainly gaudy so-called super-mini…the latest offering from Citroen in the guise of the C3. Or should that be C-Me? Geddit? Mercifully, as it was a beamingly bright day when it was delivered to ChezMac, I was wearing sunglasses to rescue me from the glare of the stark red, white and blue presence on my drive. Possibly no coincidence either (and probably little to do with the sunshine) that the delivery man was similarly bespectacled. I could have mistaken it for a rather more colourful Royal Mail delivery vehicle or a mobile advertising extravaganza, seeking to advertise and spread Manchester United’s worldwide fan base. Whatever…it glowed. Positively GLOWED. Eliminating any affection I might have nurtured. Proof that I was not being over-sensitive to its eye-catchiness was the ceaseless attention paid to it when I gave it a squirt around the masses of the M25’s denizens, or around Elmbridge, and then as the blinding backdrop to my favourite rural diner. ‘Show off!’ joked an old friend as he smoothed away in his midnight blue Bentley. ‘Knowing you, you will enjoy riding around on that rainbow,’ he sniggered. And this was only my first day. I had another six to go. I was puzzled by the array of oddball lumps along the waistline base of the door. Never seen anything like it before. So why are they there? What are they? They look like DIY gone wrong. The answer, according to Citroen, is that they are a practicality, air bumps, easily-replaceable plastic panels, an optional add-on
+
to do an urban protection job…in other words, to swallow and soak up any dents administered by careless fellow parkers. Try as it might, Citroen has never been a serious challenge to the equivalent VWs and Fords, which are much, much more useful, sharper and better value rivals in a hotly-contested market. And in my humble opinion, that situation is unlikely to change very much, despite the efforts of the designers in their revitalised updating and upgrading mood. Alright, I admit I may sound like a conservative old grouch, so what are the car’s good points? Its cockpit rejoices in a comfy show of the sort of seating materials that you might see on your fireside three-piece suite. And the infotainment touch screen is a huge improvement, both in the clarity of its graphics and its prompt responses. What’s more, if you are involved in a pile-up, the dash-cam option retains footage of the incident just before and following the impact. And you can tweet and send off instagrams if, say, you are enjoying the view ahead or have just caught sight of a nice rear scene. All you have to do is press a button on the mirror and it will beam the snap to an app on your phone and then send on. And for a little car, it doesn’t labour during motorway effort, even though there’s a noisy windy reminder that you are on the move. But you would not want to be a long-legged six-footer like me on the rather cramped rear seats. My verdict: I would venture to suggest that the colourfully glowing C3 that I tested is a car for the young or young at heart. And that excludes me. Specification: Model: C3. Engine1.2. BHP 82. Acceleration: 0-62 mph in 12.3 secs. MPG:61.4. Price £14.035. I am now really, really looking forward to my next test drive... in the much-heralded Peugeot 3008 SUV. Bring it on...

Words by David Kid Jensen
Top of the Pops When asked about my recollections of Top of the Pops, my memories are usually entwined with those of John Peel. I felt blessed to be cast as one half of our DJ duo, The Rhythm Pals, which allowed us to to be a bit silly (OK, more than a bit ‘silly’), with extravagant costumes and dodgy gags, As John’s widow Sheila wrote in her contribution to Peely’s biography, Margrave of the Marshes, we took turns in coming up with an absurd theme to run through any given Top of the Pops. I would often arrive home after one of our Top of the Pops sessions with stomach ache from laughing so much at Peel’s banter. Mind you, it didn’t all go smoothly. We ‘worked’ together on TV from the late 70s until the mid 80s but he almost got himself banned forever from an appearance he made on his own in 1968. As Sheila recalls, ‘After introducing himself as “the one that comes on Radio 1 late at night and plays records by sulky Belgian art students dying of TB”, he was supposed to say instead “here’s the latest happening platter from Amen Corner”, or words to that effect, but nothing came to mind, as his usually fertile brain had gone blank. As John tiptoed towards the exit after the show had finished, the producer spotted him, stamped over and said “I’ll make sure you never work in television again.” ‘ Those were among the most wonderfully thrilling words John had ever heard, since he had no desire to set the world of television aflame with his undisputed talents in front of the camera, and that was the way it was until a decade later, when he discovered just how much fun he could have by simply being himself. I’ll have to trawl through the archives to find some merriment of his later career on TOTP when the Rhythm Pals gave him a new lease of life.

I’d Die For You and Other Lost Stories by F Scott Fitzgerald (Hardback £16.99) A collection of the last remaining unpublished stories of Scott Fitzgerald. It ranges from work Fitzgerald was unable to sell because its subject matter or style departed from what editors expected in the 1930s to writing submitted to magazines and which was accepted for publication but never printed. The title story ‘I’d Die For You’ draws from the time Fitzgerald spent in the mountains of North Carolina mired in alcoholism, his wife Zelda in a sanatorium nearby. In 1937, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood with an MGM contract, where he would die in 1940 at 44. An essential addition for all Fitzgerald devotees.
Addlands by Tom Bullough, (Paperback £8.99) For generations, the Hamers have farmed land at the Funnon, their home in the Welsh borders....Idris, satisfied with the old ways of the plough and his intimate knowledge of his land and beasts, avoiding sin, his mind and body carrying memories of the First World War, Etty, his young wife, more willing to flow with the century’s changing tides to keep the family alive. Oliver, their son, is both farmer and fighter, whose legend grows in the community. The depth of knowledge and communication with the landscape of this farming family is powerfully told. As the century progresses and each generation shows its own character, the gains and losses of history are felt profoundly. A compelling and intimate novel.
All That Man Is by David Szalay (Paperback £8.99) Nine men of different ages are visited at formative points in their lives, from teenage to old age, in this uncompromising and original novel. It is as the men get older that their stories really start to grip. Their characters are more fixed, it is harder to change, decisions have bigger consequences, as there is more at stake. Szalay reveals the mistakes that men are led to make in modern European society, chasing money instead of meaning, presenting an image to other men. As each new character emerges, the realisation grows more profound and the interactions with colleagues, friends and family bring each man closer to a true glimpse of himself and the life he has chosen.

inger-songwriter and Radio Two favourite Gordon Haskell has returned home to the UK, following eight years enjoying the Greek sunshine. He is set to play the Harlequin Theatre, Redhill, on Friday 2 June. Celebrating his 70th year, the writer of 400,000-selling ‘How Wonderful You Are’ - BBC Radio Two’s most requested song – is to perform a headline second set in concert, featuring songs from his jazz/blues/soulinfluenced songbook and including hits from his platinum-selling album Harry’s Bar. The show at the Harlequin Theatre forms part of a South of England ‘Timeless Tour 2017’, with plans to play the Midlands and North of England later in the year. Opening the night will be musical collective Hannah’s Yard, featuring the beautifully understated voice of 20 year old vocalist, Hannah Layton Turner. Since being
spotted by BBC Introducing, Hannah’s Yard has received considerable BBC regional radio airplay for each of their four acoustic pop single releases – think Norah Jones meets Fairground Attraction. DJs Alex Lester and Janice Long each supported the collective’s singles on their BBC Radio Two shows. Expect to hear original songs from their forthcoming debut album Beginnings, along with an eclectic mix of covers - hits from Sam Smith to James Taylor, Jack Johnson to Carole King, all given the unique Hannah’s Yard twist. Priced at £21.50, tickets for this unique night are selling fast. Visit http://www.harlequintheatre.co.uk/ for further information and phone 01737 276500 for the box office. This promises to be an exclusive warm and intimate evening of acoustic music from artists with some 50 years between them. www.gordonhaskell.com | www.hannahsyard.com

Music to my ears I wake up every morning with a singer in my bed They could be male or female. They may be alive or dead It’s Not Unusual to say Tom Jones at times has passed my way And even though he’s had his day His songs still fill my head Standing in the shower or putting on my clothes A new refrain invades my brain – round and round it goes Country music, pop or soul Simply Red or Nat King Cole I’ve absolutely no control From where they come? Who knows? Adele is Chasing Pavements when I hurry down the road An unproductive pastime if the honest truth be known James Taylor turned up last weekend Reminding me I’ve Got a Friend Will these intrusions never end To change the Status Quo Britney, Rod and Elton all penetrate my brain I think I’m going Gaga. I cannot stand the strain I have to say just Yesterday All the Beatles came to play They Pleased themselves! Then went away Help! I’ve gone insane.
