What a mixed bag of weather to start this decade! Such extremes reported from around the Globe. At the time of writing, Australia are awaiting a much needed ‘5 day rain storm’ which hopefully will extinguish the dreadful bush fires. What an awful time they have been having, it makes me stop and think before I complain about our damp weather here. A few muddy dog towels is really nothing to worry about! The Cobham Heritage and Conservation Trust celebrate their 15th Birthday this year. This is a great organisation, who work hard in and around Cobham and if you are not a member do consider joining them. We hear from Rebecca Webb who shares some information with us about Girlguiding in Surrey East; they are looking for inspirational leaders so do get in touch if you are interested in getting involved. There are many options, and groups include Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers to cater for a wide array of ages… Another Birthday celebration this year, this time for Cobham Cedar Club WI. They turn 30 in 2020. This is a fun local group, who offer a busy programme of events throughout the year. If you are interested in going along you can find their contact details on page 35. Wishing you all a good month and a Happy Valentines Day on 14th! Best Regards,
Ros

tomato & spinach bucatini with prawns ingredients method 1 tbsp cold pressed rapeseed oil, plus extra to drizzle 2 garlic cloves, crushed 2 tbsp double concentrated tomato purée 1 tsp Cooks’ Ingredients Wild Oregano 400g can chopped tomatoes 1 tsp clear honey 150g Waitrose & Partners No.1 Bucatini (or spaghetti) 300g baby spinach 150g pack Duchy Organic Cooked King Prawns 3 tbsp freshly grated parmigiano reggiano (Serves 2)
1. Heat the oil in a wide pan, then add the garlic. Sizzle for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the tomato purée and oregano and cook for 1 minute, or until the purée is turning burnished orange and smells sweet. Add the tomatoes, ½ a can of water and the honey; season. Simmer for 10-12 minutes until rich and thick. Taste; if it seems acidic, add a squeeze more honey. 2. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, then add the pasta. Return to the boil, then cook for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of the cooking water. Meanwhile, put the spinach in a large colander, pour over boiling water from the kettle until wilted, then rinse with cold water. Squeeze out the excess water and drain on kitchen paper. 3. Add the prawns and spinach to the pasta sauce, then simmer until warmed through. Toss the pasta into the sauce, along with 2 tbsp water to loosen, and ½ the grated cheese. Transfer to warmed pasta bowls; finish with a little more cheese, serving a crispy green salad alongside, if liked.
cooking tip For even more flavour, add a handful of pitted olives to the recipe as the sauce is simmering.

Book Reviews FEBRUARY 2020 ‘Your House will pay’ by Steph Cha (Paperback £12.99) Your House will pay is a remarkable book. It takes place along two time lines. The first begins shortly before the Rodney King riots when a panicking Korean shop owner shoots and kills a black girl. She’s convicted on manslaughter but serves no prison time. The second begins 27 years later when that woman is shot in front of the pharmacy her family now runs and a cousin of the girl killed years ago pleads guilty to the shooting. Nothing here is easy. Everyone carries anger, sorrow, resentments and excuses. Every character is flawed in a way that makes the novel ring true. This book stays with you.
‘The Water Dancer’ by Ta-Nehisi Coates (Hardback £16.99) This is a powerful and elegant work, the debut novel by an acclaimed essayist. Hiram Walker was fathered by the owner of the Virginia plantation where he has always lived in bondage. Gifted with remarkable memory and mimicry, but unable to remember his mother, Hiram has another extraordinary skill to master on his road to freedom. As he joins the underground war on slavery, their intellectual dexterity and courage is bolstered by hope of the power that Hiram may hold. Coates writes with great wisdom about love, justice, and finding a purpose in life.
‘Blue Moon’ by Lee Child (Hardback £20.00) In a town run by rival criminal gangs, an elderly couple in debt to loan sharks are running out of time. Fortunately, they meet Jack Reacher. Lee Child, a British author living in the USA, has written a timely novel driven by the swiftly widening cracks between company healthcare policies and the expensive urgency of illness. It’s also an irresistibly exciting adventure filled with Jack Reacher’s powerful brand of ethical certainty in action. : 01932 862903 : info@cobhambooks.com : www.cobhambooks.com : 12A Anyards Rd, Cobham, KT11 2JZ

Kia XCEED CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
The motor car market is awash with bargains galore, and yet another wee treat has arrived to excite those who enjoy being seen in the latest offering. It is Kia’s brand new Xceed - a funky looking SUV, a sporting crossover and a distinct challenger to reigning rivals without it breaking the bank or failing to give value for your lolly. The Korean car makers are so confident they have designed a winner with stamina as well as style, they back their invasion on to the SUV scene with a staggering, unrivalled and unprecedented 100,000 mile/seven year warranty. Wow wee!!! In a recent reliability survey Kia finished sixth out of 31 manufacturers - just behind Toyota, but better than Skoda and streets ahead of Ford and Volkswagen, with that record breaking warranty - the best on any car. So what do you get for your hard-earned? A real treat in my humble opinion...a kerbside beauty that is both a pleasure to walk up to and to drive, whether around town or on longer motorway journeys, both of which it manages with panache and economy with 50-odd plus miles to the gallon. It revels in a softer setting with clever dampers, but
loses nothing in its all-round ability to cope with bumps or silky smooth surfaces, while at the same time keeping drivers and passengers nice and comfy with an infotainment system that is a joy to listen to — the product of a treasure of a touch screen. The best bargain buy I reckon is the 1.0-litre petrol engined model with its low CO2 emissions and is cheaper to purchase than the 1.6 litre diesel. And that is welcome news for private buyers and company car users alike. Altogether the Xceed is powered by three engines - two petrol, one diesel, all six speed. The 1.6 litre diesel has a bit more mid range attitude, but it is slower in outright speed than its kin. Only high mileage drivers seeking to maximise on economy could be justified in paying its price premium. For me it ticks all the boxes and in its class, probably the toughest and most testing branch of motoring, the latest Kia is a sure fire winner. XCEEDingly good in fact.... My favourite: The XCEED 1.6 CRDI3. Engine 1.6 litre. Four cylinders.134 Bhp. Six speed. 0-60mph in 10.2 secs.Top speed 122mpg. Mpg 64.2. Price £25,345.

COBHAM CEDAR CLUB W.I. From Anne Yeates Christmas? Obviously we should be shot for mentioning it in February, but nevertheless we would like to say what a wonderful performance we had at our December meeting from The Downsmen. We were expecting four barber shop singers, and were delighted to be entertained by 14 members of this local singing group. As well as Christmas songs (sorry) the group performed many familiar numbers and for the first time some of us were able to understand every word, so good was their articulation. Not so good was the audience participation, but we enjoyed it anyway! On to the month ahead, and our February meeting will hear from Cherrill Sands on the subject of Women Gardeners of the 20th Century. As well, we hope to be getting involved with the National Federation of WI’s Show the Love campaign, which will be turning the red hearts of Valentine’s Day green. This is an annual visual campaign run by the Climate Coalition, of which the WI is a founding partner, to raise awareness of climate change, making green hearts out of anything from fabric to seeds. For full details of all our speakers through the year, clubs and other activities, visit www.cobhamcedarclubwi.uk, Visitors are always welcome.
