I am writing this introduction, several weeks before it will reach you. As a result, with news and advice changing daily with regard to the Covid-19/Corona Virus, it is very difficult for us to predict the situation by the time our magazine reaches your home. As a community lead publication, our pages are always full of local events and activities for you to read about and more importantly attend. It takes us all month to collect/collate & compile our events listings and as a result, it is impossible for us to change or remove all these entries as our print press awaits our magazines now. Groups and organisations may decide to cancel or postpone their published events, so please check with the organisers before you go along. Do remember that we include a wonderful collection of local businesses and services for you to take advantage of, maybe now is the time to sort out all those little jobs you haven’t had time to organise before. It is important that we continue to support our local businesses. We all need to focus on what really matters during testing times; we have been very touched at the level of concern locally for the elderly members of our community. A group called ‘Corona Community Care’ has been set up with just this in mind, many local people are keen to help elderly neighbours or those who are having to self isolate and need help. Please see page 16 for details. Simple acts of kindness could make a massive difference to someone’s life. As the main recommendation for keeping well, is good hand hygiene, we have enclosed an official hand washing guide. This is so important and seems to be the number one way to cut your risk of being infected by the virus. Soap and water will do the job, follow the recommended methods and keep your hands away from you face as far as possible. Stay safe good people and I wish you all a peaceful Easter. With Best Regards,

Ros

To book your place on our next Taster Session call us on 01306 881816 or email admin@brigittetrust.com or visit wwww.brigittetrust.org for more information.

FETCHAMTANDOORI.CO.UK 01372 374 927 248 COBHAM ROAD, FETCHAM, LEATHERHEAD, KT22 9JF

Fetcham Tandoori has been my Curry Restaurant of choice for too many years to mention! It is always a treat to visit this family run restaurant, which opened way back in 1983. Following a recent refurbishment and the introduction of some wonderful new dishes, it’s now better than ever. We went along one Sunday evening and Anis Haque the owner, treated us to a selection of the new regional dishes they have on the menu. The restaurant looks really lovely. It is newly decorated and tastefully elegant. No electric water fall pictures here! The service was, as always, friendly and efficient, the staff know their regular customers, but everyone is made to feel very welcome. Anis told us about his decision to introduce some new dishes, which are more authentic and more in tune with the

food he grew up eating. In fact, his own mother’s cooking is the main influence for the new menu selections, and she spent many hours in the kitchen with Anis, putting together this exciting new menu. Ingredients are sourced locally, are organic when possible and are bought daily. Suppliers include highly regarded local butcher, Conisbee and Son’s, as well as Gray’s Gelato Ice Cream from Goldstone Farm. The cooking methods have also changed. Things are done in a far more traditional way; spices are slowly roasted and ground, in-house to create wonderfully fresh flavours and vibrant colours, and the end results are like individual works of art. In the photos included here, you can see for yourself some of the food we enjoyed; the flavours were mouth watering

and it was so good to try something a little different. Dishes are inspired by, and come from, different regions such as Bangladesh and India and these include a great selection of Vegan dishes and even a little bit of street food too! Of course, all the old favourites are still available for the slightly less adventurous, but I do strongly recommend stepping out of your comfort zone. If you are a little unsure about what to order, just ask. Anis or one of his team, will be more than happy to guide you. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t regret it. The take away menu is a little different from the a la carte, but has also been carefully put together to still offer a great experience at home too. I take my hat off to you Fetcham Tandoori, this is surely a winning combination. Your restaurant offers

a wonderful place to eat fabulous and authentic curry dishes with friends and family, whilst at the same time experiencing something a little different, which is truly special. THANK YOU FOR A LOVELY EVENING. WE WILL BE BACK VERY SOON. The dishes we enjoyed were:Bombay Bhel Beetroot & Aloo Murug Chicken Chicken Chettinad Murug Makoni Sagolir Manksho Saffron Pilau Peshwari Naan

Gardening Matters MULCHES

As I sit here in early March, we’ve had wall-to-wall rain for what seems like 63 weeks, boooo. However, there may be the odd day in the near future when you’ll need to retain moisture in your garden (pahahahaha), and mulching is a good way to do that, so here are some suggestions for mulches to bung on your patch. Mulches are best applied mid to late spring and autumn when the soil is moist (no worries there) and warm. Avoid applying them in winter/early spring when the soil’s cold or in summer when it’s dry. They’re spread over bare soil or on the surface of compost in containers and are either biodegradable or nonbiodegradable. As the name suggests, biodegradable mulches break down gradually to release nutrients into the soil and help improve its structure. Lack of space prevents a comprehensive list, but the usual suspects are composted stable manure, garden compost, leaf mould, bark and Strulch. Stable manure adds nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil, is widely available in this area, usually for free, but can smell yucky, isn’t very attractive and often contains weed seeds - because that’s what horses eat. It should be well-aged and/or heat-treated. Garden compost is also free and is as available as you’ve made it. As long as you’ve avoided adding perennial weeds to your compost heap/bin, it’s a good solution but takes a while to rot down sufficiently. Leaf mould is readily available if

you’ve bagged it up the year before, but it needs at least a year to rot down, isn’t very attractive and you’ll need ONE HELL of a lot of bags to provide for an average garden. Bark exists in practically every garden centre. It’s longlasting, attractive and doesn’t blow away easily, but it’s relatively pricey and the pigeons have a right old time kicking it all over the place. But my most recent discovery, my one of choice now is… Strulch. This is an AMAZING product made from mineralised straw and I’d never heard of it until a customer introduced it to me (thank you, Helen). It’s very light, it suppresses weeds, doesn’t hold water (so rainfall can soak through to the soil), goes a very long way, and best of all, lasts for up to 2 years before degrading. Take a look at the website for more information: http://www.strulch. co.uk Non-biodegradable mulches, including slate, shingle, pebbles and gravel, don’t add nutrients but have the advantage of looking decorative. However, they can be costly and weeds have a nasty habit of pushing up between the gaps unless you lay membrane underneath. All in all, biodegradable mulches tick most of the boxes. As well as retaining moisture in summer, biodegradable mulches protect the roots of plants in winter, improve soil texture, encourage worms and can help prevent weeds, so what’s not to love? Mulch away.

Princess Alice Hospice

DEVOTED SONS SHARE MUM’S SECRET POETRY The life, loves and longings of Susan Ealey are told in this book of verse compiled from hundreds of handwritten poems discovered by her sons after her death. A Woman’s Verse by Susan Ealey, tells of the highs and lows in the progress from childhood to womanhood, through youth, first love, raising a family, and into later years. It also features the hardship of single parenthood, growing older, loss, secret love and finding one’s place in the world. Susan Ealey was 69 when she died at Princess Alice Hospice in October 2019. Her son Matthew, himself a screenwriter and author, said: “Though my mum was only at the Hospice for two or three days, it made a massive difference in those final days, for her to be out of hospital”. Following Susan’s death, Matthew and his brother Marcus, found 320 unpublished poems she had written over the years, stashed away in a folder under her bed, the pile of handwritten poems had no titles, no dates or explanation. “In finding Mum’s poems and deciding to publish them, we both knew immediately we wanted to give our proceeds to the Hospice as a thank you from us; also, we believe it’s what Mum would’ve wanted.” Her sons dedicated their efforts to choosing and categorising a selection to include in A Woman’s Verse. “It will read as a poetry journey of my mum’s life from youth, to family, to love, to views on the world,” said Matthew. “We want our beautiful and powerful mum’s

words to be read by as many people as possible, in her memory.” Susan was a striking young woman who worked as a PA in Fleet Street and model, in the late Sixties and Seventies. She had her boys in her twenties and continued with her career, later becoming a single mum and juggling work and family. Matthew said he recalls her writing poetry since he was a child, but she always kept her creative work to herself - apart from the occasional verse or two she’d share. “Her own mother died when she was just 23, and she had a lifelong avoidance of hospital,” said Matthew. “Luckily she had always had a very healthy life and was never ill when we were growing up.” “The option of Princess Alice Hospice was just perfect - it gave us the time together in her last couple of days, to hear her final wishes, even plan her funeral with her - in privacy, peace and quiet,” said Matthew. “She had a great room, with a lovely view, which she could enjoy during her favourite season - autumn. She was treated with huge compassion and kindness, dignity and respect. “It was the best place she could have been. We were so impressed - there are no words.” Matthew, 45, and Marcus, 49, have stayed in contact with the Hospice, from which they continue to derive comfort and support. A Woman’s Verse poetry book is available, via Amazon Paperback and Kindle. Proceeds will go to Princess Alice Hospice and Cancer Research.

Book Reviews APRIL 2020 ‘Nightingale Point’ by Luan Goldie (Paperback £8.99) Inspired by the 1992 Amsterdam air disaster this novel is set in London, when the residents of Nightingale Point find their worlds shattered by a similar aviation disaster. Among them Malachi, a broken hearted student struggling to raise his streetwise kid brother Tristan; Mary, a nurse with a secret life; Pamela, a teenage athlete prisoner in her own home, and vulnerable Elvis who loves his new flat with its laminated instructions and fridge filled with his favourite food. All their perspectives define alternating chapters of this brilliant debut novel.

‘The Artist’s Way’ by Julia Cameron (Paperback £16.99) This is not a book only for artists, but for everyone who would like to experience more creative flow in their lives. Over the course of twelve weeks this book guides us through the process of opening up to the opportunities for enjoying more freedom, more passion, and more self-respect. Exploring the truth of what makes us feel flat or uninspired, and what gives us joy, Julia Cameron invites us to think about our inner artist in a new way and start letting them out to play in every area of our lives. After six weeks I’m thrilled with the results I’ve had, and I know I will keep using the practices and return to the book many times in the future. It’s life-changing! ‘The Ghost Factor’ by Jenny McCartney (Paperback £8.99) The novel is set in Northern Ireland during the ceasefires in the mid ‘90s when “punishments” meted out by the paramilitary vigilantes were at their fiercest. The reasons for the punishments vary from joy-riding, drug dealing and, in Jacky and Titch’s case, the theft of some Jaffa Cakes from the wrong corner shop. This is a wonderfully large-souled page turner.

Peugot 208 ALLURE CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY

There is a real treat in store for the fans of stylish French chic in the petite shape of the new Peugeot 208, a hotshot rival to all the runners in the ever increasing horde of super-minis and city cars. The last 208 was not too great a challenger to the well established likes of the VW Polo, the Ford Fiesta and the Seat Ibiza - but the latest version this sporty and elegant 208 will give them all a run for their money. And I am an unashamed fan. It offers the option of three petrol engines, one diesel and a promise to put an electric model into the fray. This hatchback has been voted the European Car of the Year. It is all set for even further success and even more global awards. It’s a looker. A five seater. And spacious on the inside, even for the leggiest among us. The electric model has a welcoming range of 217 miles. And any noise levels have been suppressed so your eardrums are not invaded either in stop-go situations or flat-out on motorways. The 1.2 Puretech engines have a boom that fades at motorway pace, and the diesel sounds a bit more hoarse whatever your demands on speed, but you would not regard it as unpleasant. The six-speed box may not enjoy the precision of say a Ford Fiesta or the Ibiza - but is responsive and slots easily into every gear. A slight setback are the views from behind the tiny steering wheel. The thickness and angle of the car’s

46 Looklocal Magazine - April 2020

windscreen pillars obscure some of your view through twists and bends - but there are reasonably proportioned door mirrors. However, the rear pillars and sloping roof limit what you can see behind your back. As for parking. No problem. Fitted as standard on all models are rear parking sensors. If you are a penny pincher subject to lengthy journeys and massive mileage all year round then it is worth giving consideration to the diesel powered version purely for economy reasons. And that brings me to the 1.5 BlueHD 100. It has bags of punch from the lowest of revs and feels as sprightly as can be when it sets off from standstill. With its useful pulling power and acceleration you are freed from meddling with the gear stick. Even the least costly trim level ACTIVE is more than adequately equipped with 16 inch alloy wheels, heated door mirrors, automatic lights, air con and a leather steering wheel. The ALLURE adds 17 inch alloys, electric rear windows, climate control, privacy glass, automatic wipers and power retracting door mirrors. And there’s more. Much more.... The brainstormers behind the scenes at Peugeot have come up with a genuine showcase contender in the hard-fought city car battleground. Go for it... Specification: The Allure: Engine 1.2. Speed 0-60 in 9.6 secs. MPG:44.3. Price: £18.870.

c hocolate egg cupcakes The perfect Easter treat, and so easy to make - follow the simple recipe for gorgeously chocolatey sponges, then top with our ready-made chocolate icing and a Mini Creme Egg.

ingredients 100g unsalted butter, softened 175g caster sugar 3 British Blacktail Free Range Eggs 75ml whole milk 150g self-raising flour ½ tsp fine salt 25g Cadbury Bournville Cocoa Powder 400g tub Cooks’ Ingredients Tanzanian Chocolate Icing 2 x 89g pack Cadbury Mini Creme Egg (Serves 12)

method 1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C, gas mark 4; line a 12-hole muffin tin with Cooks’ Homebaking muffin cases. Using electric beaters, cream together the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs until combined, followed by the milk. Mix together the dry ingredients and sift into the mixture. Beat in gently until combined. 2. Divide evenly between the muffin cases and bake for 20 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then lift out and leave to cool completely on a wire rack. 3. Give the chocolate icing a stir, then transfer it to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle (or you can spoon it on if you don’t have a piping bag). Pipe over the top of the cakes. Halve the Mini Creme Eggs by cutting down the join with a sharp knife. Arrange on top of the icing and serve.

cooking tip An ice cream scoop is useful for dividing the cake batter evenly between the muffin cases.
