Summer is certainly on the way, and I’m wondering if it will be as warm as last year? It’s hard to imagine the grass being parched and turning brown when it is so lush and green right now. It’s amazing how it has recovered so well isn’t it? There are so many wonderful events happening locally this month, we’re really spoilt for choice! These include a selection of ‘Open Gardens’ around the area; providing wonderful days out and a great way to gather inspiration for your own garden too! As well as this, The Royal Kent School Summer Fete is also this month and an amateur Ladies Rowing Club Regatta in near-by Weybridge too! I hope you find something you will enjoy. You can also read about my visit to a very lovely Cobham based acupuncture clinic; find out more about this fascinating ancient practice. Have you spotted the lovely new Village Sign in Oxshott yet? Look Local were delighted to go along to the official inauguration ceremony; you can read all about this on page 6. Michelle enjoyed a wonderful meal recently at a newly refurbished local restaurant; The Swan Inn in Claygate. It sounds like she had a very nice evening. I am so pleased because it happened to be her Birthday too! This is certainly on my list of places to visit very soon! On a different note, we are very happy to be launching our beautifully refreshed, and shiny new Website this month! If you have a moment do pay us a visit at www.looklocalmagazine.co.uk. We hope you like it. Wishing you all a great month, and a Happy Father’s Day to all you local Dads too !

OXSHOTT INAUGURATES its Traditional Village Sign

On Friday 10 May, under blue skies, around 100 people gathered to witness the official Inauguration of a beautiful traditional village sign depicting the history of Oxshott. Members of The Oxshott Village Sign Society, along with local residents, businesses and organisations who have supported the project looked on as The Worshipful the Mayor of the Borough of Elmbridge, Councillor Mrs Shweta Kapadia cut the ribbon at the culmination of the ceremony. The founders of The Oxshott Village Sign Society, Felicity Bond and Graham Tillotson, welcomed everyone to the event and explained the background and development of the project which has taken two years to come to fruition. Thanks were given to the many people who contributed to the success of the sign along the way. Among the audience was a very proud local resident, Bob Jones and his family. The sign is based on his

winning design â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as voted for by the community at the Exhibition of Short-Listed Designs held in May last year. Also present were representatives of both Royal Kent and Danes Hill Schools. These young designers had embraced the design project with great enthusiasm and were excited to see the final outcome. Phillip Herbert from St Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oxshott performed a blessing and spoke of the importance of community and what can be achieved when people work together, and how the sign will be a lasting legacy for generations to come. The village is delighted with the beauty of the finished sign and the craftsmanship that Black Forge Arts have brought to its production. We are certain it will stand as a proud focus in the heart of the community well into the future - hopefully for at least 100 years. Felicity Bond

Word reached us here at Look Local, that The Swan Inn Pub in Claygate had been taken over by the popular London chef Jose Pizarro recently, so we went along to find out more. Upon arrival we were met by General Manager, the lovely Huw Johnson, who was previously managing Joseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bermondsey Street restaurant before moving to run The Swan. The bar area is very roomy, the tables well spaced and has a very relaxed feel. There was a gentleman sitting quietly with his drink and working on his I-pad, another sitting reading the paper, a small group of friends having a drink and sharing some Tapas, and others just having a drink and a chat. Whilst you can sit and eat anywhere in the Swan, the main dining area is offset from the bar and you can prebook these tables. The Swan has a really lovely traditional English pub feel with a modern twist and the menu reflects this. The

22 LookLocal Magazine - June 2019

menu is inspiring and very flexible. Our lovely waitress for the evening, Kaz, was very knowledgeable and was able to talk us through the menu choices. Mostly made up of a wide selection of tapas there are a handful of more traditional menu choices with a special Jose twist, such as Fish & Chips. Whilst we waited for our meal to arrive we nibbled on Gordal olives stuffed with blood orange, and ciabatta with a bowl of olive oil for dipping. Heaven! We had chosen the Presa Iberica (100% acorn fed Iberico pork) with baby potatoes, pimenton, to share and a selection of tapas. Our meal arrived and we sampled the delicious delights that this lovely pub has to offer complimented by a bottle of the house red Syrah Cuvee. It really is a lovely way to share food with friends. We finished our meal with a bowl of Spanish strawberries served with vermouth vinegar, white chocolate & pistachios (Yes! That really does work!)

and Almond & Prune tart served with Sherry cream. A family of four was on the table next to us, a couple with their two young daughters. What a lovely way for them to eat out and no doubt accommodate all the differing appetites and tastes that a family has. Comfortably busy, the pub offers a relaxed atmosphere, flexible dining, excellent food and great service. In addition to all this there is a really lovely outside seating and eating area. It feels like a secret hideaway. Enclosed by high fencing and walls it is a surprisingly peaceful area despite the busy road nearby. This area also brings extra culinary delights! There is a char grill alongside a Green Egg (a smoker and charcoal barbecue) and a Paella stand. The paella stand has a wood fire in the centre, similar to a fire pit, (where the paella pan can stand) and is surrounded by a cast iron griddle for cooking all the components for your paella. These fabulous additions to the core menu will mostly

be in use Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays, weather permitting. Roll on Summer I say. I cannot wait to go back when the weather is better to try this part of the inspirational dining experience The Swan offers. Part of the garden will be available for private hire, so you could have your very own Paella party with your private chef for the event! Mmm! When’s my birthday? Also available for hire is a private dining room upstairs in the pub that seats up to 16. There will be special events coming up, with music, dancing etc. One of these will be a dinner on 10th July to celebrate Jose’s new book “Andalusia”. I cannot recommend a visit to the Swan enough. We had a fabulous evening and are planning a return visit very soon. Our thanks go to Huw and his team for making us so welcome.

Gardening Matters GREEN, BLACK, YELLOW

So, this month, planting in green, in black (ooh, dramatic) and…..I suppose I’ll have to….planting in yellow, although it pains me to do so. Let’s get it over with. Greens will give extra interest and many will grow in dark areas. Some are perilously close to yellow for my liking but many are quite definite shades of green. Angelica archangelica is a short-lived perennial with bright lime green flowers, growing to 6ft. It needs dappled shade and moist soil. Ferula communis (fennel) has wafting, frondlike green flowers. Kniphofia - dwarf red hot poker - is a pale creamy green, and Eryngium agavifolium has coarse spiky leaves and thistle-like flowers. The euphorbia family gives us E.myrsenites, with silver-grey leaf and green flower, which will grow in the worst conditions, and E. wolfenii, green bracts with a purple centre, but beware, the milky sap can irritate bare skin, so wear gloves. Finally, handy for winter flowering are the hellebores Green Dragon and Hacquetia epipactis, the earliest of all herbaceous perennials and vivid lime-green, needing full shade and moist soil. Black provides unusual interest surrounded by brighter colours, and the shades of black vary from deepest Goth to dark purplish-black. Probably best-known is Ophiopogon planiscapus nigrescens with its black foliage, purple flowers and black berries. It spreads to form clumps and can be left to grow. Plant in full sun and well-drained soil but it’s tolerant of most soils. Handy

too as front-of-border are Ajuga (bugle), Pelargonium Black Red Vesuvius, a dwarf geranium with black foliage and scarlet flower - sadly, rarely available - and Lobelia cardinalis ‘Queen Victoria’, with scarlet flowers on black foliage and needing full sun and moist soil. Back-of-border drama queens include Paeonia delavayi (tree peony), with deep maroon/black flowers, Cornus alba ‘Hessei’, with dark purple foliage, dark stem and white berries, and black bamboo. And let’s not forget the dramatic black tulip ‘Queen of the Night’. And sooooo, reluctantly and only because I promised, we come to planting in yellow *shudder*. I’m reliably informed by my erstwhile tutor, Sue Jackson, that the function of yellows is to calm if they’re pastels (doesn’t do it for me) or to make a statement otherwise. Yellows go from pastel creams and lemons (just about OK) through ‘egg yolk’ (aaaaarghhhh) to hot, eye-catching gold, umbre, orange and copper browns (yucky). Many yellows appear in spring, with sweeping drifts of daffodils, narcissi and crocus heralding new birth (see, I can do poetic, even with yellows). Spring also produces Polyanthus, Forsythia and Kerrya japonica, and summer brings Achillea, sunflowers, Oenothera and lilies. You can intensify yellow’s boldness by pairing it with red/ orange/lavender, or group it with pink/green for more subtle combinations, if indeed you can use ‘yellow’ and ‘subtle’ in the same sentence. And on that note, I need to go for a lie-down now.

LookLocal Magazine - June 2019 25

Book Reviews JUNE ‘Big Sky’ by Kate Atkinson (Hardback - 18th June £20.00) Jackson Brodie is back! He is such a rich character – less tragically burdened than most detectives who’ve witnessed the worst that human nature can offer. He is smart, human, self-deprecating and much put upon. He also has the capacity to offer great and unexpected insights into those he encounters and what he uncovers. In Big Sky Jackson’s relocated to a quiet seaside village in North Yorkshire (where he’s from originally). Kate Atkinson pushes the boundaries of crime fiction in wonderful ways. I devoured this!

‘Perfidious Albion’ by Sam Byers (Paperback £8.99) This novel draws recognisable and very funny characters while exploring the baffling encroachment of technology into our daily lives. In Edmundsbury, a small town in post-Brexit Britain, a housing estate is being cleared of its last lingering tenants while a tech company tightens its grip on the area. A masked group stages a ‘disruption’, threatening to make internet histories public and asking ‘what don’t you want to share?’ Everyone’s nerves are jangled. Trying to profit from the chaos are a right-wing tabloid mouthpiece and aspiring politician and his jargon-speaking media advisor. Two young journalists are playing with the anonymity and wildfire escalation of online forums. Meanwhile, a tech worker begins to see the bigger and more alarming picture behind company rhetoric. Be ready for volatile alliances, inevitable betrayals, and an imprudent series of photographs.

‘Turbulence by David Szalay (Hardback, £9.99) As a flight lands we follow a passenger into their visit, homecoming, return to work, or another kind of arrival. Their life touches others, and we follow one of these others onto the next flight to a new destination and story. So the chain of contact spreads out across the world. Szalay writes his characters with a clarity that reveals the dramas ebbing and flowing through the decisions they make and the relationships they nurture. As we travel around the world with these different companions, the delicate question of their future is contained in each brief but profound chapter. This is a skilful and moving book. : 01932 862903 : info@cobhambooks.com : www.cobhambooks.com : 12A Anyards Rd, Cobham, KT11 2JZ

Personalised email and economical upgrades ... Recently a number of large volume email providers have closed their services usually due to the cost of providing the service being too great for any rewards which may be returned. These companies include O2, Tesco and Which. You may be asking what benefit could the email providers be gaining? The general answer is a simple one- you give them permission to “read” your emails and provide contextual advertising, this is agreed in their terms and conditions when you sign up to their service. This is the reason why the likes of Gmail, Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo are keen for your email traffic, for example- if you are in correspondence with someone about a holiday - you may see banner adverts usually in your web browser from holiday firms, the holiday firm would have paid for this advert or “impression”. This is evidence of contextual advertising. Changing your email address and notifying your contacts can be headache, to mitigate a recurrence of this, a way around it is to purchase your own email address - also know as domain name. Once bought this address is yours forever (assuming subscriptions are maintained) By way of example let’s say your name is Jane Walter, you could purchase (subject to availability) the domain name “walter-family.co.uk”, and your email address could be jane@walter-family.co.uk. The beauty of this arrangement is that this is yours forever and should the suppling firm decide that email isn’t their “thing”, you can move it to another provider. You may be thinking this arrangement is expensive and exclusive to companies, but you would be wrong. To purchase the domain name and have it registered to you for 2 years is only £35.00 (+vat)- then it is necessary to have the email service added, and this can be a little as £25 per year. For less than the cost of filling your car up with fuel you have an email address and email service for life, additionally you can add further email accounts for mum, dad, the kids and so on.

Low cost computer upgrades The thought of moving all your data onto a new machine can cause palpitations to many. A way to avoid this is to upgrade your existing machine. Windows 10 and Mojave are reasonably accepting when it comes to running on old hardware. To remove the frustration of a slow running machine, a great option is to replace your current hard drive with a Solid State Drive (SSDs), the performance boost is impressive and is said to be upto 20 times quicker- which is pretty astonishing. SSD’s have fallen greatly in price so the cost of the upgrade and us to copy all your data to the SSD could be way less than buying a new machine. Please call for more information.

VOLVO XC90 CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY

Wow factor cars are few and far between; rare commodities in a market hungry for good taste & value for money. And that brings me right-away to a success story of a supply to please, & thoroughly satisfy, in the attractive shape of Volvo’s latest SUV challenger, their XC90. As a treat of fulsome & comfy features, of family requirements on the move, it ticks all the boxes. And what a looker, too!!! Their deservedly legendary seven-seater, has been given a clever & welcome overhaul, but it holds onto one crucial factor; a transversely set-up engine whose huge share of its length can be handed over to the car’s interior for a generously spacious lounge-like atmosphere. In fact, just about every item in XC90 is fresh - right down to its refashioned Volvo badge. That just about sums up how beneficially caring the designers have been. Now what about its all embracing cabin/cockpit, call it what you like? Little or nothing has been left to chance in the Scandanavian company’s quest to give value for your hard-earned. The all-new infotainment set-up is all singing, all dancing and it dwells in a system that occupies most of the central dash, with stylish graphics, high resolution & clear to read & understand menus, and fixtures and

40 LookLocal Magazine - June 2019

switches which require the least effort. But all credit to the designers: their principal concern has been all about comfort for the driver & passengers relaxing over the seven seats. And to add to the joys of the riders, the handling of the car is excellent, with very little roll or understeer, and offers a general feeling of ease and relaxation. Ultra-safe, too. A four-wheel-drive, offering the most secure traction on the wettest and most threatening skiddy roads, that would easily trap lesser, well-equipped rivals. If you plan a marathon drive for a holiday, in say, far off Scotland, have no frets about the family’s full comfort, with the arrangement of seating with its three-row design. The first two with five places, that all recline & slide to cope with whatever room is needed and the third row is just the job for the restlessness of leggy teenagers. Behind that is a fair-sized boot that can be extended by folding up one or all of the five back seats. The cheapest in the range is the D5 Momentum priced at £50,435. But personally I would go for D5 Inscrip’ Pro, nearly ten grand more, but with very top spec and a just about everything you need to hand, to hold a front running lead over of its rivals. XC90?

Roasted sweet potato & goats’ cheese salad ingredients 500g (about 2 medium to large) essential Waitrose Sweet Potatoes 1 tbsp olive oil 50g pecan halves 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 small red onion, finely sliced 130g tub pitted black olives, drained & roughly chopped 1½ tbsp balsamic vinegar 250g pack pre-cooked red & white quinoa 115g bag baby spinach 125g soft goats’ cheese, crumbled Squeeze lemon juice (Serves 4)

method 1. Preheat the oven to 220˚C, gas mark 7. Cut the sweet potatoes into 3cm chunks & toss with the olive oil in a large roasting tin. Season & roast for 25mins, stirring halfway. Put the pecans in a smaller roasting tin & place in the oven for the final 6mins of the cooking time. 2. Meanwhile, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a small pan over a low heat & very gently fry the red onion until softened, about 4-5mins. Tip in the olives & balsamic vinegar, warming through, then season & set aside. 3. Heat the quinoa according to pack instructions. When the sweet potatoes are done, take out of the oven & stir through the quinoa to combine. Transfer to a large serving plate with the spinach, then roughly chop the pecans & scatter over. Spoon over the red onion, olive & balsamic dressing & top with the goats’ cheese, a grinding of black pepper & a squeeze of lemon juice.

cooking tip There’s no need to peel the sweet potatoes, as the skins are a good source of fibre. Just give them a rinse or light scrub, if need be.

Prep: 15mins. Cooking: 25mins Recipe reproduced by kind permission of Waitrose. Over 5,000 recipes can be found at www.waitrose.com/recipes

COBHAM CEDAR CLUB W.I. From Anne Yeates

Who realised just how good your spice cupboard staples could be for you? Cobham Cedar Club WI members were scribbling down the advice given by Debbie Lewington, who gave a wide-ranging talk entitled ‘Using Plants and Foods as Medicine’ at a recent meeting. Garlic, honey and ginger are all natural antibiotics, turmeric is good for pain, and along with cumin is a great anti-inflammatory. But if Debbie could take just one supplement to her desert island, what would it be? Good old vitamin C. Out and about, there was a trip to the Mary Quant exhibition at the V&A Museum. The V&A has the world’s largest collection of MQ’s clothes, yet what makes the exhibition special is not the chronological charting of the designer’s career - she started making clothes in her tiny bedsit in the early 60s to sell in Knightsbridge stores - but the real-life stories told on film by some the models and women who actually lived in her clothes. Several CCC members were transported back to halcyon days. The next Cobham Cedar Club meeting is on Thursday June 13 when Clive Hyams will describe The Hilarious Life of being a Professional Magician.
