Remember, Remember, the 5th of November! Firework season is upon us! Much to the horror of many of our beloved pets. Is it just me, or have fireworks become much louder these days? Some sound like actual explosions rather than the rockets I remember from my childhood! Or maybe, I’m just getting old! Please be mindful to keep your pets inside during the evenings for a few weeks, and why not turn the TV up for good measure! It is a special Armistice Remembrance Sunday this year; the Centenary year. St Andrews Church has the Cobham War Memorial in the Memorial Chapel. They will be hosting the Remembrance Day Service there at 10.45am on the 11th November. There will be a parade from the British Legion down Cobham High Street to St Andrews Church, with the addition of a reception at 12 noon at the British Legion too. This promises to be a very touching ceremony which I’m very sure will be well attended by many local residents. Cobham Community Gardens enjoyed a celebration of their Britain in Bloom achievements recently, do see page 14 for more on that. Oxshott & Cobham Music Society have several fabulous concerts this month, certainly worth considering for an enjoyable evening out! It is, of course, the time of year for Christmas fairs and events and we have a selection of these to choose from too… I hope you have a good month, until next time, take care…

COBHAM COMMUNITY GARDEN CELEBRATES BRITAIN IN BLOOM RESULT

Mary Lewis (centre) congratulates head gardener Mark Money

Cobham Community Garden celebrated their impressive result for their first ‘Britain in Bloom’ campaign on Saturday 6th October by hosting a picnic lunch in the Garden. In July, the Garden was judged by the ‘In Bloom’ panel against 3 categories: Community participation, Environmental Responsibility and Gardening Achievement. Mark Money, Head Gardener, was delighted to announce the Garden achieved the result of Thriving – level 4 out of 5 – an excellent outcome for a first attempt. The Judges commented: “This is a well maintained and very well presented site and wonderful place to come along and learn how to grow a variety of different crops. It has a very vibrant feel about the place. They are doing a

14 Looklocal Magazine - November 2018

wonderful job and may it continue”. Mark went on to say that in order to sustain the Garden then more volunteer involvement is needed. The Garden needs new people to fill a number of interesting roles such as business leader, Farmer’s Market stall manager, preserves maker and obviously gardeners! More details at: www.CobhamCommunityGarden.org.uk Supporter Mary Lewis - Surrey County Councillor for the area and who opened the Garden in 2016 congratulated the Garden team on such a positive result at this first attempt, and wished them well in attracting more help.

DECADE AT DOGGY DAY CARE FOR D’ARTAGNAN D’Artagnan the Welsh springer spaniel is celebrating 10 years as a canine customer at Bruce’s Doggy Day Care. The Surrey and London business began as a dog walking service on Clapham Common in London in October 2008. Founder Bruce Casalis recognised a gap in the market for busy dog owners and D’Artagnan was his first client. Ten years on, the two are still firm friends! D’Artagnan is now 10½ years old and lives in Wandsworth, London, with his owner Amanda Williams. He attends day care twice a week, when he’s collected in a chauffeur driven doggy bus and taken to the Bruce’s Doggy Day Care 25-acre Cobham site in Surrey. In recognition of his 10 year anniversary, the team has introduced a Bruce’s Doggy Day Care Walk of Fame

(#BrucesWalkofFame) with D’Artagnan as its first honorary member. The sprightly spaniel’s paw has been set in stone for all to see! Amanda Williams, D’Artagnan’s owner, commented: “It’s such an honour and I know he’s very proud. D’Artagnan thoroughly enjoys his time at Bruce’s Doggy Day Care and cannot wait to spend the day with his friends. He loves the socialisation and mental stimulation which has helped keep him active, curious and sociable. And I’m reassured by the wonderful team and safe and supervised environment.” Some fun facts from D’Artagnan’s doggy day care decade: * He’s clocked up 1,000 days * He’s enjoyed 8,000 hrs of play * He’s had 260 baths * He’s consumed 500 treats * He’s drunk 1,300 litres of water * He’s received 2,000 cuddles

GARDENING MATTERS HEDGEHOGS

Hedgehogs are natural predators of many garden pests, which makes them hugely helpful in your garden, but nowadays, their numbers are threatened by widespread use of pesticides and encroaching urban sprawl, so these lovely little chaps need all the help they can get to survive. Many new homes and gardens are built to keep animals out rather than encourage them in, but you can make your garden more hedgehog-friendly, most obviously by putting hedges, not fences, between gardens. Denselygrowing varieties will work just as well as a fence, whilst also allowing a hedgehog to pass through. If fences already exist, maybe cut a small hole at ground level to allow them through. Elsewhere, growing tall wildflowers/grasses or leaving part of your garden untamed will create areas where hedgehogs can feel safe. Building a woodpile is the easiest way to make a hedgehog home and a place to hibernate. If you’re a real keeno, cut air holes into the sides of a large, sturdy cardboard box and fill it with dry grass/ straw. For something more permanent, use a wooden box, but treat it with water-based preservative, as varnish fumes could linger. Whichever material you use, put it somewhere out of the way so it won’t be disturbed, and create a tunnelled entrance with bricks/off-cuts of wood, then cover it in twigs and leaves to disguise it. Just make sure you don’t interfere with it once a hog is in residence. Hedgehogs have keen appetites. Even in a garden full

of slugs/snails/insects, they’ll appreciate extra food, but forget right now what you’ve been told about putting out bread and milk: hedgehogs are actually lactoseintolerant and this will upset their tums. There are plenty of alternatives: tinned pet food (chicken or turkey), crushed cat biscuits, chopped nuts, cooked potatoes, sultanas, even boiled eggs. This is especially necessary in autumn when they need to up their fat reserves ready for hibernation. Even a well-kept garden can hold dangers for them. Don’t use chemical-based varieties of slug pellets, as the hedgehogs may eat slugs which have ingested the poison. Look instead for wildlife-friendly versions. Fix some fine netting over your pond to prevent hedgehogs falling in, or make sure the edges are sloped, so that if one does fall in, it can climb out easily. They choose sometimes to hibernate in compost heaps, so poke gently around before digging deep into the compost. Check patches of long or overgrown grass before mowing: they’re perfect spots for foraging for insects or sleeping in. Hedgehogs are nocturnal, so if one is out and about in daytime, it’s probably in trouble and should be taken to a Wildlife Rescue Centre for a check-over. If you find one asleep in your garden or wandering around at night, make sure that children in particular realise they’re wild animals and any prolonged attention might distress them. But most of all, rejoice, because I haven’t seen one in my garden for years. |

WIFI EVERYWHERE EASILY AND CHEAPLY

This guide about backing up our computers was written by Les Beer, from Tecres in Leatherhead, which have been providing computer solutions since 1989.

We know how frustrating it can be when your wifi signal is no longer making it to the areas you need it, or maybe the poor signal is causing the internet to run more slowly - maybe it’s the kids bedroom, the conservatory or even the lodge in the garden? Well we may have found an ideal solution for you, using a well-established technology which is found in mobile phone transmitters, repeaters and other grid based connections, the system in question is called Mesh, and it has also been installed in large offices and hotels for many years, but due to cost limitations it hasn’t really become a consumer product….until now The item we are specifically referring to will offer “across the property” wifi connection with minimal installation and setup. The starter kit consists of 3 transmitters, where one unit plugs directly into your router and replaces your existing wifi connection, the other two units (more can be added if required) can be positioned anywhere around the building, providing it can “see” one of the other transmitters. The magic of this system is in the transmitters as they

have two broadcast systems inbuilt, one deals with your conventional wifi signal, the other transmitter is for your “backbone” connection. This uses a different frequency and allows transmitters to share the same wifi, and handle to Passover of traffic as you roam from one transmitter zone to another. Sounds complex, but it’s all done for you so you don’t need to worry about it. The initial configuration is carried out from an app you can download on your smart phone or tablet, where it offers some neat features like parental control - to add time restrictions on specific devices on specific days of the week, or to setup a guest network. The starter packs are available in two models - both packs have 3 repeaters in the kit. The standard model is recommended for properties upto 300 square metres, and the more powerful kit covers upto 600 square metres. Additional devices are available to add to the kit if required. The costs of the kit is £140.00 for the standard kit with the higher powered kit being £205.00. Would be a worthy upgrade to solve any coverage issues before the Christmas rush!

Our ideal candidate will be enjoy helping customers, have an appreciation of IT, and be a good communicator. Please either apply in person to the store, or send your details to lesbeer@tecres.co.uk

BOOK REVIEWS NOVEMBER

‘I Love you Too Much’ by Alicia Drake (£8.99) Thirteen year old Paul is adrift in a sea of wealth, pretence and an obsession with status. Struggling with a self-absorbed and neglectful mother, whilst trying to form a connection with his own narcissistic father, Paul is desperate to be loved. Always overlooked, it is only a matter of time before he sees something he isn’t supposed to see….

‘Firefly’ by Henry Porter (£14.99) This is the first of Porter’s novels which I have read and I found it engrossing. The story follows the trail of a highly intelligent 13 year old Syrian refugee. It takes the reader from his village in Syria via camps in Turkey, Greece and through the Macedonian mountains. Naji is being hunted by a group of vicious ISIS thugs. They want to prevent him from revealing the wealth of knowledge he has obtained of their crimes and plans. MI6 become involved and they recruit a former agent, Paul Samson, to find and protect the boy whom they have codenamed Firefly. An intriguing thriller and insight into the horrors faced by many on the migrant trail in their attempt to escape war and poverty.

‘The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker (£18.99) ‘Great Achilles, brilliant Achilles, shining Achilles, godlike Achilles’ says Briseis in the book’s opening page ‘we never called him any of these things; we called him the butcher’. In this stunning novel Pat Barker goes back to the most famous war of all telling the story of the siege of Troy from the point of view of the local women taken by the Greek forces. Barker’s story has its feet firmly on the ground. Yes, the gods are there, Apollo sends a plague, Achilles is the son of a sea goddess who brings him divinely forged armour and Hector’s body is magically restored to freshness after being pulled behind Achilles’s chariot. But this divine intervention always feels like it’s happening to real people because it all takes place in a convincingly grubby brutal Bronze Age world. Barker’s language is fresh and direct - thankfully she makes no attempt to adopt a faux-archaic style. Powerful and memorable.

SANTA SETS THE PACE FOR FUN RUNS!

Do as I do: Santa sets the pace in the stunning Painshill landscape

Santa’s cover was blown this week, when he was spotted out and about in pursuit of a great new fun run venue for Princess Alice Hospice in Esher. The red-suited one was pictured on a recce in the spectacular setting of Painshill Park, Cobham – where he traced the 5km route that’s been designed to delight everyone who signs up. Sweeping vistas, magnificent follies and pretty waterside paths make this, what must be the most picturesque fun run route of all, to kick off the 2018 season. We’ve also added a second date to the Bushy Park schedule. This brings to four the number of Royal Park runs – two each in Richmond Park and Bushy Park. There’s a choice of dates spread over four weekends in good time for Christmas. All routes are 5km – you can run, jog, walk or just stroll – alongside the hundreds of fellow Santas expected to turn out to raise much-needed funds for your local Hospice. Runs are scheduled on Saturday 25th November at

Painshill Park; 1st December at Richmond Park and the 9th and 16th December at Bushy Park. Runners can be big or little, on four legs as well as two(!), in teams, or singles and family groups. Entry is £18 for 16s and over, which includes a free Santa Suit; £8 for five- to 15-year-olds which includes a free elf hat. Under-5s are free. Book by 31st October for a 20% discount. “Our festive fundraisers always raise lots of smiles as well as vital funds – it’s inspiring to see the turnout at these popular events,” said Nigel Seymour, Director of Fundraising at the hospice which serves a population of around 1 million in Surrey, SW London and Middlesex. “We rely on fundraising and our community support to generate the £9.9 million we need every year to provide Hospice care free of charge. We are so grateful to each and every fundraiser, as the money raised really does make an enormous difference to the care we can provide at Christmas.” For details and to book, visit pah.org.uk/santafunrun

WILL LIGHTNING STRIKE TWICE ON EMBER PLAYERS?

The Ember Players of Thames Ditton are about to raise the curtain on their 2018/19 season with David Tristram`s comedy “A Bolt From The Blue”. Director Steve Clunn said: “Edward Jones is just an ordinary guy, doing ordinary things – if you count scaling towering electricity pylons for a living as ordinary! Then, the day before his 40th birthday, he gets struck by lightning.” What happens next is, quite literally, incredible. It defies logic and the fundamental laws of nature. “It`s is a very funny and quite poignant story,” says Steve. “It sets all the nerves tingling before reaching an extraordinary conclusion.” Actor Richard Lyons (pictured) plays the `electrified` Jones - and he`s hoping to avoid the `Ember Players Curse.` On an opening night, exactly 25 years ago, member Tony Smith (a former Deputy Head of St. George`s College, Weybridge) was playing a leading part in“Nightwatch”. “I was watching a rugby match that afternoon,” he recalls. “Suddenly an electric storm hit – and I was, quite literally, struck by lightning. The

metal handle of the umbrella I was carrying spat out an enormous, smouldering spark and the thing shot out of my hand. Fortunately for me, I was wearing rubber boots - or I doubt I`d have made it to the opening performance.” A lightning bolt carries twenty to thirty thousand amps of electrical current when it makes contact with the ground. That’s about 2,300 times more electricity than that used to power an average washing machine. According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, between 30 and 60 people are struck by lightning each year in Britain and roughly three of those are fatalities. Tony Smith said “I`ve warned Richard not to play golf, use umbrellas or shelter under trees until the show is over…and, if we do get a major storm over the next couple of months, to avoid attending any outside sporting events - especially rugby!” “A Bolt From The Blue” is at The Cecil Hepworth Playhouse, Walton on Thames from Thursday 15th – Saturday 17th November at 8 p.m. Tickets from: www. ticketsource.co.uk/emberplayers or 07752 655087.

BMW3 Saloon CAR REVIEW

One of the rewarding treats of for any car enthusiast has to be the highly sophisticated & stylish Paris Motor Show. And it was no different this time around, a showpiece battlefront of car sales. For me, the car of class was the new BMW 3 Saloon. The seventh generation of the brand & bound to continue. Since its launch in 1975, BMW’s most successful model has continuously improved. No wonder more than fifteen million have been sold worldwide. The latest motoring masterpiece, with its revised styling, superb driving dynamics, supreme handling & a host of innovative features, will be up for grabs from March 9, next year. On its captivating debut, in October in Paris, it had a look of quality without a mind-boggling asking price. The company’s 129,932 workers, and especially its inventive brain-box designers & specialised engineers, must be proud of their product. BMW claim the 3 Series saloon, with sales of 15 million, is the heartbeat of the company. The latest design benefits from revised proportions, a longer wheelbase, reduced weight & drag with neat & tidy precise lines that underpin it’s superior driving dynamics & road holding. It also revels in a fresh range of standard options for the clear & precise centre console, as well as safe feel revised leather steering wheels with multi-function buttons and thumb rests. It is taller, longer, roomier and wider than its predecessor. The cabin has been improved to maximise comfort with more leg & headroom for the occupants. Even getting

out has been made easier for rear passengers with the door aperture height increased. Occupants will be joined by the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, a clever digital operation that responds to the spoken prompt “Hey BMW”. This triggers the new era for the group in which drivers will increasingly be able to operate their car and access its functions merely by speaking to it. Wow! The system helps the driver; learns their preferences, is familiar with their favoured settings; seat heating or the places they drive to frequently using the navigation facility. “Take me home” you order and it does. You can even give your Personal Assistant a pet name to create individuality. Not only does it obey your command it assists and provides casual rejoinder conversation. Saying “I’m cold” will stir the Assistant to adjust the temperature. Ask it where the nearest petrol station is and, warning you about traffic jams, it will guide you there. The astute updates on the car’s advanced technology allied to BMW’s anxiety to ensure the customer is satisfied they are getting their moneys worth, is a treasure. I don’t want to appear to be assuming the role of a salesman, but I confess I am a fan and would advise a potential buyer : go for it... Specification and choice. BMW320d. Power 190HP.

REDUCING ISOLATION AMONGST THE ELDERLY IN ELMBRIDGE

We are pleased to announce that CHEER, who have been helping to reduce social isolation amongst the over 60s in East Elmbridge for many years, will be expanding their geographical scope to include the whole of Elmbridge from 1st October 2018. Until now befriending services in the borough have been shared with the Visiting Friends service, run by Triangle Community Services, who will be focussing their activities on helping the elderly in the Woking area. We are delighted that we will now have a team of fantastic volunteers working throughout Elmbridge, visiting older people on a one-to-one basis in their homes. We will also continue to inform older people about the many activities available to them in Elmbridge. CHEER will maintain the existing relationships with stakeholders, including community groups, independent living providers and, most importantly our volunteers, to encourage older people to build social connections in the local community. Mark Wilson, Director of Community Integration at Triangle Community Services said: “We’re very pleased

56 Looklocal Magazine - November 2018

that CHEER, a well-established charity that shares our values, are taking on our befriending service in Elmbridge. Being based in Elmbridge, with good links to the local community, they are best placed to support volunteers in encouraging the older people they visit to interact with their community - helping reduce loneliness and social isolation. We are working with CHEER to ensure a smooth transition of the service.” Janis Fletcher, Chair of Trustees for CHEER said: “CHEER has been working to improve the lives of older people in East Elmbridge for over 60 years and we are delighted that we are expanding our befriending service to include the whole of the borough. Our clients tell us how much they value the weekly visits from their volunteer friends and the positive impact it has on their lives. Our extended reach will also enable us to increase the social activities we offer to a broader range of older people in Elmbridge.” Please contact Mark Michelmore at CHEER for more information by email manager@cheer-elmbridge.org. uk or phone 01372879321
