Volunteer Cobham 2016
Supporting people facing life-threatening illness The Brigitte Trust offers a free volunteer service of emotional support and practical help at home. Practical issues like driving, shopping and getting to hospital for treatment can sometimes be hard to manage, and our volunteers can make a real difference. Weekly visits help build up a relationship with patient and carer, offering respite, company and time to listen to the feelings and concerns serious illness brings. Volunteers, who should be drivers, are invited to join our friendly and supportive team.
Our next volunteer taster sessions run this Autumn. Call Sharon today on 01306 881816 and view our new volunteer videos at wwww.brigittetrust.org

I
POINT!
t was a real treat and a total pleasure to visit Emma Eaton recently at her Bookham-based clinic. I have known Emma for about 4 years, initially from her time in Cobham, when I reviewed her wonderful reflexology treatments for Look Local Cobham. Emma and her family moved to Bookham nearly a year ago and I was delighted to find out that she has now also moved her clinic to Bookham, specialising in acupuncture and reflexology. I was keen to learn more about the acupuncture on this visit. As I expected ’The Clinic’ is delightful. Seen here, it is beautifully designed in a stylish but minimalist way... the feng shui is perfect! Instant relaxation, even before Emma works her magic! Let me start by telling you a little bit about Emma’s background. Following a long corporate career, she began retraining as a healthcare practitioner in 2009, initially focusing on reflexology and then acupuncture, graduating from the International College of Oriental Medicine (ICOM) with a B.Sc (hons).
12 Looklocal Magazine - September 2016
Her style integrates Classical Chinese Medicine, contemporary acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Five Elements and Stems and Branches. Emma was honoured to be part of the reflexology team at The Fountain Centre, based at the Royal Surrey Hospital, Guildford, supporting patients and carers through cancer. She is a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) and Association of Reflexologists (AoR). As I expected, Emma is highly trained and her professional and friendly approach offers a winning combination. If I am totally honest, although I had heard great things about acupuncture, it isn’t really a treatment I would normally look forward to (because I thought it might hurt!) but as I mention above, as soon as I walked into Emma’s clinic, I honestly knew that I was in safe hands. Many of the patients who visit her regularly and benefit from her treatments are in fact needle-phobic. At the first treatment, most patients soon realize that
For further information, call Emma for a chat on 07821 590287 or email emma@eatonacupuncture.co.uk www.eatonacupuncture.co.uk
the hair-thin sterile disposable needles which are used are specifically designed to be as painless as possible. They are about a tenth of the thickness of a medical syringe. In many treatments, patients are not even aware whether the needles have been inserted or not. ‘Most of my needle-phobic patients tell me that they are so pleased they tried it, as it has provided such relief, especially in the case of chronic daily health issues.’ Acupuncture is used to help with most complaints about which you would go to your doctor, and many GPs recommend it to their patients. In the week I visited, Emma had seen patients presenting with a wide range of health challenges: benefit from acupuncture: those with back pain, general aches and pains, infertility, fatigue, PCOS, shoulder pain, insomnia, anxiety, hot flushes, foot pain and digestive problems. The focus of treatment is on you as an individual. It aims to treat your immediate health problems and the underlying root cause. There is a whole body of research to support that acupuncture works.
It is widely respected as a method of treating people and is used frequently in the UK. It is currently estimated that 2.3 million people are being treated each year by British Acupuncture Council members, and as I found out, there really is nothing to be afraid of. I actually enjoyed the treatment and I must say I felt great afterwards too. I will certainly visit Emma again when the need arises. Acupuncture is natural, holistic and works with the body. The aim of acupuncture is to prompt the body to do what it knows how to do. Whilst patients may come for a specific reason, such as neck pain, they soon experience other additional positive side effects: for example, they find that their general mood, sleep and digestion are improved too. Thank you so much, Emma, I really enjoyed my appointment with you, and I wish you every success in Bookham. I’m sure the word will soon spread that you are here! Look Local highly recommends Eaton Acupuncture. Form an orderly queue!

Over 5,000 recipes can be found at www.waitrose.com/recipes INGREDIENTS • 2 tbsp plain flour • 2 tsp sweet smoked paprika • 2 medium essential Waitrose Free Range Eggs, beaten • 150g pack Cooks’ Ingredients Panko Breadcrumbs • 4 Waitrose Skinless & Boneless Cod Fillet, cut into 12 even-sized strips • Vegetable oil, for frying • 4 tbsp mayonnaise • 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill • 4 cornichons, finely chopped • 4 Waitrose Stonebaked Paysan Rustica Rolls • 100g radishes, thinly sliced • ½ x 90g pack Waitrose Wild Rocket
METHOD Stir together the flour and paprika. Place the seasoned flour, eggs and breadcrumbs separately into 3 shallow bowls. Dust the fish with the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Heat a little oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the fish, in batches if necessary, for 3–4 minutes on each side until crisp, golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towel. Meanwhile, stir together the mayonnaise, dill and cornichons.

Place the top of the bun on and serve the butties warm with a lemon wedge on the side. -
COOK’S TIP
If you want to serve these as a starter or lighter meal, simply leave out the bread rolls and serve them on their own with salad leaves dressed with the dill mayonnaise.

Brush your teeth, my mother said. And do it twice a day To stop your pearlies turning brown And dying from decay But mothers now can take a rest Technology is here to test How you brush and what is best Your app will show the way While you rub and scrub and buff Your Android does the sums Have you missed your molars? Have you flossed your gums? Now your phone that’s all too smart Says when to stop and when to start And ‘Is that toothpaste on our chart?’ And ‘Hey! You’ve missed your tongue.’ Well, I for one have had enough Of bossy mobile phones I’ve brushed aside this ‘how to’ guide. I’ll clean and preen alone Blue tooth? New teeth? It’s not for me My gnashers will be techno-free And I can say with certainty My smile will be my own

ransomware
AND THE
SOLUTION
This guide was written by Les Beer, from Tecres, which has been providing computer solutions since 1989. Ransomware or Cryptolocker Ransomware has been in the limelight for a couple of years now, and it is usually activated by opening an attachment in an email. Once it is activated, all the data files on your PC, back-up drives and connected devices become encrypted either immediately or at some designated time in the future. The user then receives a message stating your data has become encrypted and to call a phone number within x number days to have your data unencrypted, otherwise it will be lost forever. There have been some high-profile cases recently. In January, Lincolnshire Country Council was hit by a ransomware attack; the demand was for one million pounds, and it closed the council for several days. Currently, there are only two ways to get your data back from this attack: 1: To recover your data from an unaffected backup 2: Pay the ransom Just remember: your data is probably more valuable to you than the equipment, and with our Total Care Support Plan, we back up your data to our cloud. We have had some customers who have been subjected to ransomware attacks and we have recovered all their data. In all cases, Action Fraud has been informed. Should you like further information on these issues, or to discuss your own security, please do not hesitate to contact us or Action Fraud. Action Fraud can be contacted on 0300 123 2040 or www.actionfraud.police.uk
Total Care For the past 4 years, we have been offering home and small business users a comprehensive support package which provides the following key features: • Industry-leading internet security program • Full machine data backup to our cloud • Unlimited remote assistance from our Leatherhead based engineers • Unlimited workshop labour for our Leatherhead-based engineers • Unlimited instore advice and assistance All this for a single annual payment of £100 plus VAT. For further information or advice on matters IT-related, please call us or call in to the store in Leatherhead. We look forward to seeing you.

Before the Fall by Noah Hawley (Hardback £14.99) This book grips from the start. Unknown artist Scott Burroughs is offered a ride from Martha’s Vineyard to New York on a private plane, a step up from his usual ferry journey. When the plane crashes minutes after take-off, Scott manages the extraordinary feat of swimming miles back to shore, saving another passenger’s life in the process. This is only the start of the action in this thrilling novel. Scott and his fellow survivor are emotionally engaging, making the mystery of the crash all the more compelling as we follow its effect on their lives. One casualty of the crash was David Bateman, CEO of a brash news channel, and Scott is plunged into a brutal media maelstrom. As accusations against him become increasingly incendiary, Scott seeks refuge with strangers, steeling himself for the inevitable confrontation. Glimpses into the lives of the passengers and the official crash investigation grow tantalisingly into a full picture of what really happened to bring the plane down. The Blue Guitar by John Banville (Paperback £8.99) Oliver Otway Orme, lapsed painter, kleptomaniac, self-deprecating author. He has returned to his hometown in Ireland to find his missing muse and rekindle his emotions. Instead, he has an affair with the wife of his best friend. In trying to extricate himself from the consequences, he engages in an almost farcical game of hide and seek. Ultimately, he faces the underlying cause of his artistic and emotional block. A witty, beautifully written and at times heartbreaking novel of self-discovery. 10% Human by Alanna Collen (Paperback £8.99) How much do you know about your microbes? New research is starting to show just how important the environment of our gut really is and how many health issues it has the power to change. The bacteria and fungi residing within us have often been overlooked, but Collen explores how they can have far-reaching effects on the recent health crises in western society, such as obesity, allergies and digestive disorders. More illuminating and beneficial than a diet book, 10% Human could have a longterm impact on how you manage your health. Understanding the changes in medical thought and practice over the past century places the research in context, as new information about the human body comes to light. This book reminds us that we are still getting to know ourselves, and asks us to live in harmony with the microbe communities we are home to.

OLD DOGS & NEW TRICKS
This month, reader Joanna asks can you teach an old dog new tricks? She’s recently re-homed a five-yearold rescue dog (a springer spaniel collie cross) who has settled in well. However, her dog has some bad habits – like chasing joggers and barking at horses – which are proving hard to break. In short, yes it is possible to teach an old dog new tricks, although it’s not as simple or quick as with a puppy who is young and forming new behaviours. With an older dog, you are working in reverse i.e. teaching them to unlearn old behaviours and replace these with new. With changes in certain behaviours, particularly for older dogs, there are two sides. Much like teaching a child, you should clearly show your dog when behaviour is not wanted (for example, a stern no, or training aids such as discs), AND reward behaviour that is wanted (for example, praise and a treat). This combined approach is very powerful for a dog and really works. The annoying habits of Joanna’s rescue dog are quite common in collies or collie crosses. They are superintelligent and need mental stimulation (like doggy day care). They also have a natural instinct to herd which often takes the shape of chasing. However, if you give them a positive outlet for this instinct, such as exercise, agility or chasing a ball, they are very smart and will learn quickly. There’s definitely hope! Bruce Casalis is director & founder of Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, a multi-award winning business in Cobham. Do you have any dog training or canine behavioural questions which you would like to ask Bruce about? Send your questions to :-

While most of us have tended to take rock n’ pop for granted through many decades, I thought this week that it might be worth saluting some of the groundbreaking important evens that shaped not only rock ‘n’ roll, but also our lives….. 1. Amplification was essential in the early days of rock, and a pioneering example was the distortion created by the Kinks’ Dave Davies on You Really Got Me when he took a knife to his amp. Amplifiers also allowed a small number of musicians to entertain many thousands at outdoor events. 2. In 1961, the Shirrelles became the first all-girl group to have a number one with the Carole King classic Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow. 3. Bob Dylan’s historic appearance at Manchester’s Free Trade Hall in 1966 created a huge amount of controversy when he abandoned folk music for rock by plugging in and playing Like A Rolling Stone. The fall-out was incredible. When fans started booing, Dylan simply turned it up. 4. Elivis Presley’s appearance on America’s favourite variety programme, The Ed Sullivan Show, in 1956. To avoid censorship issues, the King was only shown from the waist up and 60 million viewers fell in love with Presley’s rock ‘n’roll fusion of blues and country 5. In 1964, The Beatles found themselves on The Ed Sullivan Show, and a few weeks later, they occupied the top five chart positions in the US... and Beatlemania was born. The fabled four with their eye-catching long hair were unique in that they wrote, sang and played their own material. 6. In 1975, Bob Marley released No Woman, No Cry, his first major hit and one which made him an international star and ambassador for the oppressed. 7. In 1981, MTV was launched and showcased videos, making them as important as the pop single. Now a global brand, it all began with the Buggles video for Video Killed the Radio Star. 8. It was in 1982 that 25 year old Michael Jackson was widely acknowledged as the greatest song and dance man in the world with the release of the biggest selling album of all time, Thriller. Well, there are a few highlights from me but I’m guessing that you’ll have your own special memories to celebrate the vital moments in rock ‘n’ soul !
gardening
MATTERS
Apart from visual impact, the one thing that comes to mind when thinking of gardens is scent...
I
t’s an ingredient that no garden should be without, and it’s not hard to turn your garden into a scented heaven. We’re all familiar with the old faves, such as roses and lilies – although the old-fashioned scented roses of my childhood seem to be ever more difficult to find – but there are loads of other scented plants from which to choose, and you can have a perfumed garden throughout the year, even in the winter. There are various plants which are highly scented, and it’s good to include at least one in each season: hyacinths, lilac and certain species of daffodil in spring; honeysuckle, lavender, sweet peas and philadelphus in summer; jasmine, evening primrose and curry plant in autumn; daphne, witch hazel and mahonia in winter. Scented plants need careful positioning if you are to benefit fully from them. With some, you need to shove your nose right into them to smell the
scent, so put these within easy reach on the patio or by a path: if you have to perform a complicated gymnastic routine in order to smell them, the attraction is somewhat diminished. Some plants, such as evening primrose, release their fragrance as the sun sets, and these are perfect for putting near a bench or other seating areas. Some release their scent when brushed against, eg lavender and herbs, and so they are great for placing alongside a path where people pass the whole time. Really strong scents are probably better placed at the back of your garden so that they don’t completely dominate. There’s also scented bedding, including nemesia and petunias, which is ideal for baskets and tubs. Walls and fences are perfect places for climbers with a fragrance. These include honeysuckle, early clematis, wisteria, jasmine and scented climbing roses. Not only will they smell gorgeous, but they all have beautiful colourful flowers for maximum
sensory impact. And bonus, they work extremely effectively in small gardens too, as they take up very little room on the ground. Mixing and matching works well too. You can intertwine a scented plant amongst a non-scented one, such as a clematis amongst a non-scented rose or vice versa, and bulbs in the spring amongst scented wallflowers. This will produce a really lovely display of colour which doesn’t clash, scent-wise. Or place a strongly-fragranced plant amongst a more subtly-scented one: for example, a philadelphus with a gentlyscented climbing rose. Try not to have too many clashing smells though, as it kind of defeats the object if you can’t distinguish any one single fragrance. And on a wet day, that fragrance will linger…which is just as well, bearing in mind we seem to major on wet days here in Blighty. Careful planning can provide you with a permanently fragrant garden. What could be nicer?

bmw 7 series CAR REVIEW Ted Macauley test drives the new BMW Series 7 luxor-limo and lets us know what it has to offer...
I
n buying a new car, comparisons are inevitable, unless your loyalty to a specific manufacturer rules out any freshly invasive notions on what brand of motor you fancy. And here, with no favouritism or otherwise to either side and only balanced judgement as my guide, I would edge the Mercedes S-type ahead of the new fifth generation BMW 7 Series in the luxury car class. But that’s personal preference and the volume of contra-feeling was impressively laid on me at, above all places, Trophy Wife’s boutique in Cobham. She was staging a fashion show and I had parked outside the front door an updated, uprated brand new BMW 7 luxor-limo. A gleamer of a Beamer to notice. I was staggered by the number of hubbies funding their wives’ dresses fancies who were impressed by my transport and wanted to know more about it. I had to confess, indeed enthuse, that after a week of varied motoring up and down and all around
the wet UK, motorways and country lanes alike, the flagship newcomer left me with a feeling that here was real value for money. Okay, it does not revel in quite the same style as the more pricey Mercedes, but as a really big and bold and spacious alternative, whether for you or your leggy chauffeur to drive in roomy comfort, it ticks a good few boxes. Its eight-speed automatic transmission smoothly sorts out the best of the V8’S turbo thrust and its considerable muscle in a polished manner without any eyewidening jerkiness. This heavier version with all-wheel drive and long wheel base weighs in at a whopping 47000lbs and is still, I found, among the besthandling fullest-sized luxury cars, thanks to variable ride-settings. And it has a Stop-Go trick facility that automatically brings the car to a halt if you or your chauffeur’s attention has wandered and fails to react to a stopped traffic queue in time. That is only one of the very many sophisticated add-ons, such as a camera

that looks at your hand movements near the screen to set up remotely the infotainment functions to ensure comfort, convenience and safety. Another one I liked, even if it is a little bizarre, was a coffee cup display that popped up on the touch pad if an unsafe level of fatigue was detected in the driver. If you like music on the move, there’s a Bang & Olufsen 16-speaker surround sound - and double display for the passengers in the sprawly back seats, bench or single, as you prefer. Forget the old misgivings about noisy and reluctant diesels, the gutsy BMW’s offering in the 730d is a polished performer, offering high economy and low emissions. It may not have the kerbside ahem of the Mercedes S, but overall, this vastly technologically-advanced battler on the luxury car front is a winner in its own right. A true Beamer.... Specification: My Choice 730d. BHP 265.0-60mph 6.1s. Top speed 155mph. Price £64,530.
Air Quality Did you know that Transition Cobham has an Air Quality Group? It formed over a year ago because of concerns about the negative effect on local health of poor air quality in the area. It has met with both Elmbridge Environmental officers (who monitor our air quality) and Surrey County making Cobham healthier, Council Transport officers (who manage the highway happier and more resilient issues). Located within such close proximity to the M25 and the A3 and Heathrow and Gatwick airports, the air quality frequently falls outside the EU limits. Along the length of Cobham High Street there are three air monitors and information on air pollution is available on the Elmbridge website at; http://www.elmbridge.gov.uk/envhealth/pollution/airqualitymonitoring.htm We were pleased to see Elmbridge investing in the electric car charger in Hollyhedge car park and we are keeping a close eye on the development of cycle routes by Surrey County Council. It is important that we try to keep the High Street clear of idling traffic and we are monitoring HGVs routed through Cobham, particularly those on their way to and from the Randalls Road refuse facility. We will continue to encourage residents to use the Chatterbus. If you are also concerned about air quality then please contact us via the Transition Cobham website www.transitioncobham.org.uk for more information. search for Transition Cobham
