“I don’t need a Will...”
“ Wills are just for the elderly...” “ I only have a property so I don’t need a Will...” “ My husband will receive everything automatically...” These are some of the things people say to me when I ask them why they don’t have a Will. Unfortunately, they are not always right and such assumptions can result in the wrong family members inheriting, additional tax and difficulties with care fees. Putting a Will in place should be considered by everyone at every stage of life.
“ Wills are just for the elderly...” Wills are very useful for younger people too as you can appoint guardians and trustees for your children. We do not have a crystal ball and do not know when we are going to die. Making sure you have a Will in place now, means you will have protected your family should the worst happen. A Will can set up the right structure for your family, safeguard your children’s inheritance, ensure your children do not pay more tax than they should and that any children with special needs are appropriately protected.
“ I only have a property so I don’t need a Will...” Especially in Surrey, owning a property means you have a large financial asset you need to ensure passes to the right people. New tax laws
only give additional tax relief if property passes to specific people on your death: it is crucial that your Will provides for this. Care fees are also a great worry for many and Wills may be able to be drafted to ring-fence your property.
“ My husband will receive everything automatically...” The intestacy rules (the rules which would apply if you don’t have a valid Will) do not mean that everything automatically passes to a spouse on death, as some money passes to children. This can also have the unforeseen effect of additional inheritance tax to pay. For some families, their entire estate passing to a spouse may not be appropriate, for example there may be children from a previous marriage, children whose marriages are not working out or children who are vulnerable. It is only through a Will that the necessary mechanisms can be put in place to protect everyone’s interests. Having a Will in place means you have certainty that you are protecting your family so it is always worth having an initial chat with a solicitor.

Effingham resident and local Rotarian Susan Sheward MBE receives title from Sabah Head of State, Malaysia, in recognition for her work to protect endangered wildlife
Orangutan Appeal UK, a registered charity dedicated to the rehabilitation and preservation of orangutans, recently announced that it’s chairperson and founder, Susan Sheward MBE, has been awarded the ‘Title of Datuk’ by the Head of State of Sabah - the equivalent to being knighted or being made a dame in the UK.
22 Looklocal Magazine - December 2019
The title was bestowed at the Sabah State Palace, hosted by the Malaysian State of Sabah, Borneo. Susan received the ‘Title of Datuk’ in recognition for her work to conserve critically endangered orangutans, Bornean Pygmy Elephants and the wildlife of Sabah. She was the only non-Malaysian to receive the title at the event, which is only rarely bestowed on non-Malay nationals. Susan became involved with the plight of the orangutans whilst visiting Borneo and has been working closely with Sabah Wildlife Department and raising worldwide awareness of the critically endangered orangutan. Her charity has invested over £2 million in Sabah, which has included refurbishment of the renowned Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre, sponsorship of eight local staff to work at the centre and the funding of numerous orangutan rescues, releases and translocations. It recently completed a pledge to provide Sabah Wildlife Department’s Wildlife Rescue Unit (WRU) with three fully modified rescue vehicles. Susan said: “I am honoured to be bestowed with a Datukship in recognition for the work that both myself and my colleagues at the Orangutan Appeal UK have been involved in over the last two decades. At the same time, we couldn’t have done this without the support of those who donate to the OAUK and those who are part of our adoption programme. This has been essential in continuing to protect Sabah’s critically endangered wildlife, including the iconic orangutan and Bornean pygmy elephant.”

HOME WANTED! Mia
Mia was found living as a stray. She is all black, half Siamese and has a stumpy little tail. She is chipped but not registered to anyone. She has been vaccinated, de-flead and wormed. Her teeth have been done, as they were in quite a bad state. We don’t think she can have been straying for long as she is very friendly, trusting, loves a cuddle and her coat is in very good condition, sleek and shiny. She loves her food and has been getting extra to try to fatten her up a bit. She loves playing with her fishing rod, and laser pen toys. She seems tolerant of other cats. If you feel you can give Mia her well deserved forever home please call 0345 260 1387 Epsom Ewell & District Branch http://www.epsom.cats.org.uk If you cannot adopt a cat but would still like to help us please go to https://www.justgiving.com/Epsom-CatsProtection

Bookham resident, Mr George Kirby celebrated his
104TH BIRTHDAY on 6th November with a family lunch party. 4 generations of his family attended.. George was born in 1915 in Edmonton, London, obviously these were rather austere times. He was one of 11 children. Sadly George lost many of his friends and family members in the Second World War, and more again to the horrendous TB epidemic which was rife at that time. George met his future wife Eileen at a pre-war tea-dance. They married and had two daughters Gillan and Pauline. Conscription to the RAF followed, as a physical training instructor initially, then he went on to become sergeant and was posted to the Far East for two whole years. George received the Burma star for his war time service under Lord Mountbatten!

Having been happily married for 75 years, his wife sadly passed away 6 years ago. A very hard time for George, who still misses Eileen hugely. His daughter Gillian strongly believes that her Dad is ‘still with us at 104 due to his positive approach to life; he overcomes all of life’s challenges and he never gives up hope. Dad has had no special diets or drinks, just good home cooking and the odd glass of wine, he also always maintains a great sense of humour.’

THE LEATHERHEAD & DISTRICT LOCAL HISTORY SOCIETY
HOW CRIME INVESTIGATORS USE ARCHAEOLOGY TECHNIQUES In a recent lecture to L&DLHS members at the Leatherhead Institute, forensic scientist Professor Patricia Wiltshire explained how techniques long used by archaeologists are now also applied in criminal investigations. They include examinations of pollen grains, spores and fungi as well as botany and studies of insects, soil and both human and animal bones. Professor Wiltshire has appeared in many crown courts to give critical evidence in criminal trials. She explained how Isotopic Ratio Mass Spectrometry reveals birthplaces of individuals and their movements. Isotopes become incorporated into teeth, bones and hair, and studying body parts allows archaeologists to determine pre-historic human movements. Isotopes of nitrogen and carbon also demonstrate what people ate. So isotopic analysis is now used to provide details about murder victims and DNA is one of the most important techniques used in criminal investigations. Estimation of time since death is critical as it can also narrow the search for missing persons. Re-growth of trampled stinging nettles established the time the Soham child murder victims had lain in a ditch. In a London murder case, budding bramble stems and fungi growing on detached leaves provided an
44 Looklocal Magazine - December 2019
estimated time of death between the end of September and beginning of November. Skeletal remains were assigned to a victim who had disappeared on 16 October. This window helped police limit their search in the missing persons database. Professor Wiltshire’s methods had on numerous occasions identified the exact day of an event, afterwards corroborated by the criminal’s confession. Forensic science can prove innocence as well as guilt. In another case the deceased had been given a drink made from two hallucinogenic plants and a man was arrested for manslaughter. However Professor Wiltshire analysed items from the victim’s home and his gut which showed he had taken so many other drugs that no-one could be sure what killed him. The accused was cleared of manslaughter and convicted only of possessing a Class A drug. L&DLHS monthly lectures start at 8pm with drinks and refreshments served from 7.30pm. Entrance is just £2.

Goodbye Windows 7 On January 14th 2020 Microsoft will officially end extended support of Windows 7. Yes in a matter of days Windows 7 will not receive any software support or updates. But what does this actually mean for you? In very simple terms it means that your Windows 7 device will become less and less useful if you use the device for any internet connected activity. For example if you use the machine for online banking, your bank will stop you gaining access to your online accounts, as they view your computer as being a security risk to their systems. Bit by bit this will become widespread and most online shopping systems will block your ability to carry out transactions with them for the same reason. We are not saying your machine will suddenly stop working on the 14 January. Your files and photos will still be accessible, the machine will power on as before, but you will be at greater risk to security breaches, and your ability to communicate and collaborate with others will be much reduced. What can you do about this? 1: Upgrade the software on your machine to Windows 10 (the worlds most used operating system). This does carry a cost of ÂŁ130 for the software alone, and your machine may not be designed to work efficiently with Windows 10 Or 2: Replace your computer with a new Windows 10 machine. With costs as low as ÂŁ250 for new machines this is probably the most economical route and you get a brand new, up to date machine, with a full warranty. We can transfer all your data from the old to the new machine and ensure the new machine is ready for the years ahead, with minimal disruption for you Beat the rush - act now

Gardening Matters DESIGNING A GARDEN
And here we are again in winter. Let’s think about design, food for thought in the cold months ahead when little can be done in the actual garden… When designing a garden, try to work in squares, rectangles, circles and triangles, remembering that structures such as sheds are solid shapes. There are several points to bear in mind: Firstly, try to keep things simple to avoid going potty. You need simplicity if you’re to have a restful garden, so keep the lines clean and clear. Secondly, try to unite the house with the garden. Different areas need to link up, so consider your materials and choose those which complement each other: eg if your house is red brick, a low wall of black or grey brick may scream at you every time you look at it. Also, contrast plants so that they stand out against each other: you can put almost any colours together outside. You can also use colours to create an effect: eg strong, hot colours shorten a garden and make a bold statement, whereas pastels/whites/blues do the opposite – the further away you go, the paler and lighter the colours should be so as to extend the garden. Balance is easier to achieve in a formal symmetrical garden, where 1 side of the garden is a mirror image of the other. Asymmetrical is more interesting, but you still need to balance it: eg have heavy beds opposite each other so that 1 side doesn’t seem top-heavy. To achieve

scale and proportion with a large house, you need tall trees, bold foliage and substantial garden furniture. With a cottage, however, you need open, airy, shorter trees, soft flowers, more texture, and concealed tables and chairs. Interest is a personal thing. A focal point - a statue/ tree/structure - is essential, as it creates mood, theme and purpose. You can also achieve a mood with the use of pattern: yews or a dense hedge make the mood sombre; light planting, producing dappled shade, lifts the atmosphere. Foliage can be an additional point of interest, especially in winter, and there are an enormous number of colours/variegated varieties/foliage with texture and shape - eg verbascum which has a hairy leaf - plus plants with bold shapes - tall grasses/yuccas/ phormium - or bold leaves - fatsia japonica (hardy evergreen which is happy in shade) and herbs such as angelica (perennial) and fennel (copper colours). Finally, performance. Consider the amount of time something will take to maintain. Of course, if you want to make your garden your life’s work, you may prefer to create a miniature Wisley, but for you hard-pressed, time-poor gardeners, complicated = LOADS of work, and gardens take enough work to maintain as it is. So, Happy Christmas to you all, and get out there to work off the Christmas pud. You know it makes sense.

LEXUS RX CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
It is big in Japan, a top seller in America and it is looking all set to monopolise the fiercely competitive UK market for luxurious and large SUVs. That’s the refurbed, refreshed and reliable Lexus RX; It is a promisingly successful blend of petrol and electric for efficiency and reasonable fuel economy and all achieved in the utmost comfort. Okay, it may be relatively pricey, but for anybody with a few quid to spare and a requirement to enjoy miles of luxurious accompaniment, the RX fits the bill. Lexus, launched by Japanese car moguls Toyota 30-odd years ago and in its fifth generation, is right now, a niche player in the UK market, battling with the respectable likes of the Audi Q7, the Volvo XC90 and the Range Rover Sport, all dominant forces to be reckoned with. Since its arrival on the UK scene in 1990 more than 200,000 RX’s have hit the British market, 16,000 this year - and they aim on its upcoming re-launch early next year to smash their own record. I can see it happening. Such is the obvious care taken by the astute brains behind the scenes and the evidential fine result for their effort. They tell me that since its original launch in 1998, the revolutionary Lexus RX SUV has sold more than three million models. And I’d bet there’s not been one complaint... So what is it like? According to which of its three trim levels you fancy, the RX, F Sport or Takumi, the flexible five or slightly longer seven seater is a whizzbang

goer, huge and sprawlingly comfortable, responsive and sharp, just what you need either for arduous motorway treks or humpy-bumpy twisty rural lanes. And before you settle on a sale, you can specify halfa-dozen stand-alone spacious “captain’s chairs”..two in each row - offering a really commanding driving and viewing position. Furthermore, the clever clogs in the design and planning areas have come up with a crucial safety trim. It is entitled the BladeScan Adaptive High Beam system which offers 24m of extra vision so you can spot potential hazards without it being a blinder to oncoming drivers. And there’s tons of power from the self-charging hybrid set-up. That comprises a 259bhp 3.5 litre direction injection V6 petrol engine working with a front-andback pair of electric motors that will create a pulling power of 308 bhp. I hope that does not sound too technical. The prices will range from £52,705 up to £62,605.... So....What are the RX’s feedback and performance benefits? The five-seater F-Sport, for instance, will propel you from standstill to a respectable 62mph in around 7.7 seconds, topping out at 124 mph. The seven seater is a wee bit slower. No surprise there. No real disappointment or setback either....You would hardly notice. Those rival SUV front runners had better watch out when this flexible new boy joins the fray.

Bookham flower club FLOWER CLUB “ENCHANTMENT”
The 4th November was a different kind of meeting for the members of Bookham Flower Club. As members arrived they were given a free raffle ticket in one of 3 colours, white, pink or yellow, and although they did not know it at the time this denoted the colour of their team for the afternoon. After the notices the Chairman explained the format for the meeting. Members were asked to divide up into their 3 teams, according to colour, to appoint a leader and to give themselves a team name. Each team had an identical table of flowers and foliage, the only difference being the colour of the flowers, white for the white team, pink for the pink team and yellow for the yellow team. The teams then had 10 minutes to plan their design. They had to complete a pedestal arrangement, the 3 pedestals, already prepared with soaked floral foam, set out at the front of the hall. Team players had to form a relay with each team member putting one stem at a time into the pedestal container. All flowers and foliage had to be used, and the final designs would be judged by Jan Clarke. There were 2 teams of 18 and one of 17, and some people who preferred to watch, cheering them on. As
54 Looklocal Magazine - December 2019
the Chairman started the relay by blowing her whistle, the “Diamond White” team, the “In the Pink” team and the “Golden Girls” set off. There was a lot of discussion and lively chat, as the 3 designs took shape, and once all the flowers and foliage had been used Jan Clarke had to judge the results. She selected the pink design by the “In the Pink” team as the winner, and all team members received sweets as their prize. Two raffle tickets in each colour were drawn, the first person winning the pedestal arrangement - without the pedestal, and the second person winning a pot plant. Mary Budd won the pink arrangement. There was no Club competition this month, but next month’s competition, with Christmas in mind, is entitled “All Boxed Up”. The demonstrator for the December meeting will be Lucy Ellis and her title is “All I Want for Christmas”. Visitors will be very welcome at this meeting which takes place at 2.15pm in the Barn Hall, on 2nd December. Bookham Flower Club is a member of NAFAS National Association of Flower Arranging Societies and details of what is going on in the area can be found on their website: www.surreynafas.org.uk.

Bookham Wine Club Launch their new 2020 Programme …
BWC’s 2020 programme was revealed to members at their recent AGM; and once again, the planned series of monthly wine tastings led by wine professionals and educators, promises to provide another successful and enjoyable year. Full details can be found at www. bookhamwineclub.org.uk. The pre-Christmas meeting in the Old Barn Hall on December 09 features a 3-course dinner accompanied by wines chosen to match the menu; and also provide timely suggestions for wines to enjoy through the festive season. This year, Heather Dougherty, wine professional and educator, will present and discuss the wines, all of which have been selected from the impressive Laithwaite’s wine list.
The Club’s first meeting of the New Year sees the welcome return of Deborah Zbinden; when on Monday, January 13 she presents ‘Where in the World’ …. a ‘fun,’ light-hearted evening when Deborah invites members to ‘blind taste’ six wines - but here’s the catch…. the wines will all be from the same country, but which one? Perhaps white wines from one country, reds from another. If you would like to attend one of our monthly tastings, or would like further information, please contact: membership@bookhamwineclub.org.uk or visit our website: www.bookhamwineclub.org.uk. BWC wishes all Look Local readers a very happy Christmas - perhaps we will meet you in 2020?

Home Security NEIL CLARKE, 13362 CRIME REDUCTION ADVISOR EASTERN DIVISION
When considering what to write about this month, it would have been so refreshing not to feel the need to focus on an issue that still continues to cause immense distress to people when it happens. I am speaking, of course, about burglaries of domestic dwellings - as well as thefts from garages, sheds, outbuildings and from motor vehicles. Sadly, it is so often the case with burglaries that many homes remain regrettably insecure. One in three burglars do not have to force their way in - they gain easy access through an insecure door or open window. In most, if not all, cases we find that access has been gained at the rear of a property at ground floor level. Even when rear windows and doors have been locked - but the keys have been left in the locks or clearly visible nearby - we have found that burglars have gained easy access simply by breaking some glass and turning the key!! Whilst it is impossible to prevent this type of crime from happening in every situation, there is so much that householders can do to make their property a less attractive target to a would-be burglar. Apart from the obvious guidance to ensure that homes and property are locked up securely, it is often the case that a property that looks unoccupied is a more vulnerable target than

a home that looks as if there is someone at home. That is why I emphasise, once again, the benefit of using timers to bring on lights when you are not at home. Ideally, you should have lights coming on in different rooms at different times to mirror, as much as possible, your normal patterns of movement. Basic timers are relatively inexpensive and there are now digital timers that can be fitted over many types of wall light switches Also, I would reiterate that, as the dedicated Crime Reduction Advisor for Mole Valley, I can offer free, impartial and cost-effective advice that can help to protect your home and property and make it more secure. That is probably the most  rewarding part of my job and I feel strongly that it is important to help people make their homes and property more secure and less vulnerable to being targeted by a burglar. All you have to do to contact me is to call 101 and ask to be put through to me by name. My extension number is 30809. Alternatively, you can call my direct line on 01483 630809 or email me at Neil.Clarke@surrey. pnn.police.uk. I always focus on practical advice that is cost-effective and relevant to each individual’s situation. I do not endorse specific companies but can guide you towards what should meet your needs.
