Isn’t it amazing, that the little things we always took for granted, like inviting a few friends over for a meal or going out to eat, mean so much now? I enjoyed my first meal out the other day. We were lucky to pick a good day and so able to sit comfortably outside, and what a treat it was! Here’s hoping we can all enjoy a good summer of making up for lost time! It’s also really good to report that a number local events are starting up again and as a result we are able to include a few more each month. Of course, these could still be subject to changes, so please do check before attending any events if possible, to avoid disappointment. These include a couple of lovely family summer events in aid of local children’s charity Cherry Trees. Firstly, a fun evening of sing-along ‘Music in the Park’ presented by Guildford Lions at Hatchlands National Parklands. And secondly, an exhibition of ‘Art and Sculpture in the Vineyard’! Both sound like great fun outings, so do see page 10 for more info. It has, in my opinion, been a particularly difficult year for the young adults/teens … so it was especially nice to hear from local student, Sophie Prestwich with some tips on choosing the right University. First hand experience is always worth taking into account, I’m sure her tips will be helpful to many… I hope you enjoy exploring our pages and I wish you all a great month ahead. Warm Regards,

Local community save rare chalk grassland habitat for
wildlife!
An extraordinary community bid, assembled in just three weeks and spearheaded by local residents has secured the future of 37.5 acres of rare chalk grassland on the North Downs in Guildford, Surrey. Bug hotel - Surrey Wildlife Trust
An extraordinary community bid, assembled in just three weeks and spearheaded by local residents has secured the future of 37.5 acres of rare chalk grassland on the North Downs in Guildford, Surrey. Home to nesting skylarks, chalk hill blue butterflies, bumblebees, wild thyme and orchids, the fields support a rich array of wildlife. With the help of Surrey Wildlife Trust, a new nature reserve will now be created on Pewley Down Fields to preserve the land in perpetuity for future generations. Pewley Down Fields, which were auctioned for sale on 13th May 2021, are at the centre of Surrey Wildlife Trust’s North Downs nature recovery network and are among the largest of fifty priority mini landscapes for nature restoration in Surrey. Protecting land along strategic wildlife corridors is key to The Wildlife Trusts’ national strategy to protect and connect at least 30 per cent of land for nature’s recovery by 2030. The skylarks, which nest on the ground in the fields, are renowned for their beautiful and captivating song as they ascend in a vertical display flight. This streaky brown bird has inspired poets and composers, such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, with his famous piece The Lark Ascending. But skylarks have declined dramatically in the UK and so are ‘red-listed’ as a priority species for conservation concern. ‘Once restored, chalk downland can become one of the
4 Looklocal Magazine - Summer 2021
richest habitats for wildlife in Britain, supporting species which are found nowhere else. Their natural dryness and low fertility supports a high diversity of fine-bladed grasses and low growing flowers such as quaking-grass, yellow oat and upright brome, the wild ancestors of herbs like basil, thyme and marjoram, several scabiouses, a variety of vetches and trefoils, as well as a distinctive suite of native orchid species. ‘This rich flora in turn supports a wide variety of invertebrates, which includes at least 30 species of butterfly, over 500 species of moth and more than 80 species of bees. Butterflies include important populations of small and chalkhill blues, green and brown hairstreaks, and dingy and grizzled skippers. Extremely rare moths, such as the campanula pug, forester and fuscous flat-body, have been recorded hereabouts and on warm summer nights the lights of glow worms can be seen.’ Now Pewley Down Fields, alongside Pewley Down Nature Reserve and Rosamund Meadows, will form part of a huge swathe of 80 acres of rare grassland protected for nature where wildlife will flourish. With the expert advice and management of Surrey Wildlife Trust this amazing assemblage of wild flora and fauna will be protected for many future generations.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, we have all come to recognise the value of local green spaces and countryside sites for our physical and mental health.

As we determine the priorities for the year ahead, please help us shape the way open spaces and countryside sites will be managed. Take part in our online survey to share your ideas. Cllr Janet Turner, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture, said, “Open spaces have played an

They will continue to do so in our recovery, and we need to look at how they will be managed to benefit local communities and visitors. Please get involved by completing the online survey.” The survey closes on 31 July.

TOP TIPS FOR CHOOSING A UNIVERSITY By Sophie Prestwich (local student)
It’s that time of the year again when some students start to think about applying for University. I am currently a second year psychology student at the University of Exeter and I remember going into the university choosing experience somewhat clueless. Open days are brilliant but they can be overwhelming so I have listed below some of my top tips surrounding University Open days and ultimately choosing a University that suits you!
the day to refer back to when you have seen all your selected Universities. The students will run the tours so ask them anything! They were in your position once too and there is truly no such thing as a stupid question.
1)
5)
Research and book the open days well in advance. Finalise your top 3-5 universities and look on their website for open day dates; although they are free they might require a ticket for you and your guardians to attend.
2)
Allow enough time to go around the campus and the local area. If you can, get to the university campus at the beginning of the day, it’s good to have plenty of time. Also have a look around the city or local area. You might be living off-campus in the second and third year, so work out if it is somewhere you can actually imagine yourself living.
3)
Take photos, go on the tours and ask questions. Take plenty of photos on your phone throughout
18 Looklocal Magazine - Summer 2021
4)
Look at more than just the course. There is a lot more to University life than the course you choose. Look at the sports facilities, societies, nightlife and study spaces too! It might not be love at first sight! Everyone says “You can feel it in your bones when you see the University that’s right for you”. But to be honest that wasn’t the case for me and that’s okay too. It might only be upon reflection of all the open days that you decide the university that’s best for you, or it might take discussions with friends, teachers and family, just don’t feel under pressure to know straight away.
6)
Ultimately find the things that YOU like and that get YOU excited. After all it is you that will be a student for 3 or more years. I hope these tips help you on your way to feeling excited about open days and starting your university journey!

This month we asked Adrian, founder of Buy To Let Hunter, if he is still able to get a great deal for his clients who are looking to invest in property: “As a company who carefully curates and purchases accommodation for clients, we can see that house prices are clearly rising. The South East is currently increasing at a rate of 7.9% annually, which is actually ranking relatively low on the official countrywide chart - some areas have seen a 14% annual growth. The places we are sourcing for our clients are seeing 4-5% growth, which, we feel, is a good rate without creating a possible bubble. Slow and steady!” What about the potential oversupply of property and backlash as the market inevitably adjusts? “These areas we are buying in are generally protected against that, so whilst corrections might be possible in the market in general they are unlikely - or, I think, at the very least minimal in the right parts of the South East. I am sure that our instincts will prove correct, and I am quietly confident this gradual growth will continue and remain sustainable.” Are people’s pandemic fears impacting travel and bookings for the “serviced accommodation” and holiday lets this summer? “As lockdown starts to ease, we are thrilled to report that May has seen the highest occupancy so far this year: an astonishing 99.1%. We have also noted that the market is supporting slightly higher rental rates as well, so we are gently increasing ours in line with this trend. We have already seen a 10% increase and it’s continuing Advertising feature
to go up in June. As suspected, the boom for “staycations” is well established and our holiday home rates for the summer season are through the roof.” How are the projected returns for the serviced accommodation market? “While property prices have increased, we are still maintaining a healthy 10% ROI for our serviced accommodation clients. Finding the right properties may be harder, I am definitely having to work harder, but negotiating the right purchase prices is still possible. Nationally, 30% of real estate deals fall through; however with our no nonsense approach, BTLH has a better than 90% completion rate on properties at the moment - proving that great buyers are as important as a great price.” Get in touch and have a chat: 020 7550 9396 or hello@buytolethunter.com.

Book Reviews JULY 2021 ‘The Mission House’ by Carys Davies (Paperback £8.99) Hilary Byrd has arrived in Ooty, in the cooler air of the Indian hills. He is settled into the missionary’s bungalow thanks to a chance encounter and the kindness of the Presbyterian padre who lives there with his adoptive daughter Priscilla. Byrd begins exploring the town with his rickshaw driver, Jamshed. The novel follows the development of his relationships with Jamshed and Priscilla, interspersed with snapshots of his past and hints as to why he is there in Ooty. Tenderly and meticulously crafted, this is a deeply human story full of wonders and terrors.
‘Magma’ by Thora Hjörleifsdóttir (Hardback £14.99) This riveting debut opens up a controlling relationship, showing a young Icelandic woman’s shame, insecurity and open-hearted affection being used against her by an utterly unworthy young man. If that sounds bleak it’s worth considering how prevalent and dangerous such relationship dynamics are. Lilja’s thoughts and experiences are uncomfortable precisely because they mirror the experiences of so many, and I found the novel impossible to put down. The writing is luminous and poetic, shot with humour, and most of all piled high with the excuses, the explanations, the allowances made for a casually nasty, but beloved, man.
‘Fierce Bad Rabbits’ by Clare Pollard (Paperback £9.99) I loved this exploration of the tales behind children’s picture books by poet Clare Pollard. It’s an insightful and fascinating read. Out of her desire to create the perfect picture book library for her two young children came a keener interest in exploring what makes some picture books so iconic, some tales so memorable, some illustrations so evocative. Pollard’s research and discoveries, memories of her own bookish childhood and the new perspective of motherhood make this part biography, part literary history, part manifesto, and completely enjoyable. Ideal for adults who still love the pleasures of a good picture book.

Scams, scams and more scams We have recently seen an increase in problems relating to email account passwords not being accepted. When we heard a worrying statistic that over £2b was stolen in UK scams last year. Yes £5.48m per day, £228,310 per hour or £3,805 per minute- just think about that for a moment….. It is not surprising that almost every day we hear of a new scam. Something purporting to be from one of the big tech companies like BT, Microsoft, Amazon, Virgin Media to name but a few examples. There is also an emerging cluster from delivery companies and government bodies like the tax man, who all apparently want to resolve the problem you didn’t know you had. The motive of the scammer is always the same- to gain access to your bank account, and/or your credit card details. Their approach appears to be consistent - they have detected a “problem” with your internet connection or, computer/ parcel delivery/ tax refund and you can help them confirm the problem, then they can solve the issue. Our advice at this point is to interrupt the scammer and suggest you will investigate the problem yourself. In some cases the caller will become quite persistent that they will resolve the problem for you, but you need to remain resolute and say you will investigate the problem yourself and hang up the phone. NEVER allow them to connect to your computer, Mac, tablet or smartphone. Because of the way the phone system works, there is a possibility that if you picked up your telephone receiver shortly after stopping the scammers call, they may still be connected to your line. To overcome this we would advise you to not use your phone for the next 10 minutes- this will force the line to disconnect from the last call, then you can make an outgoing call. Should you feel concerned about the problem you have been alerted to and wish to pursue the matter, firstly ask yourself: • Why would XXX (lets say Virgin Media) be calling me? • Do you have a Virgin Media service? • Would they have your phone number? (It is very unlikely that Microsoft would know it) Below we have listed below some useful contact numbers of the legitimate companies who supposedly has just called you, so that you can check the calls authenticity yourself.

If the scammer has connected to your machine they may have installed some software which will enable them to access and control your computer without your permission. We have also seen some scammers install malicious software which will delete your data in 7/14/21 days after the hack. Should you have any concerns we can ensure your computer is free from any unwanted software. The government have setup a website on this subject which is https:// www.actionfraud.police.uk/ Should you have any ongoing concerns please feel free to call or drop into the store for further information.

Seat LEON CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
Spanning countless years, the Seat Leon has been humbled in its class by the slicker, snappier Volkswagen Golf. The German charmer has been a perennial champ, great value and a thoroughly rewarding return for your hard-earned lolly. Not any more….! It has, in my humble opinion, been overtaken by the vastly improved and talented Seat Leon, a real whizzkid of a car in an ever-popular class, great for family, and ideally suited to newcomer drivers who do not have a fortune to spare. Please don’t get me wrong: I don’t mean the Golf is not still a super-duper car, a comfy cruiser and amongst the most economical to run with an interior to delight and the only motor with a height adjustable boot floor to swallow up that extra shopping burden. So what is it about the updated and uprated Leon that has suddenly made it a worthy match and a serious opponent of the long running Golf, and for that matter any other car in the jam-packed weenier hatchback class? Over the years the Leon struggled in the wake of Golf, always a fine car but it had to rely on a smaller price tag to get anywhere near the VW’s reputation as a perennial champion and family favourite.
32 Looklocal Magazine - Summer 2021
For me, it now commands the strongest pace with superb and ultra-safe handling, ample rear space for the family or friends and, by far, the finest, most handy and refined set-up in total. It changes pace and direction with ease, grips hard and stays neatly balanced through fast corners. The majority of car test pros like me are in full agreement that this Leon is a real winner, even in the face of excellent challengers and consistent leaders and favourites like the VW Golf and the Ford Focus. Whether you are involved in a wearisome daily commute to the office in a nose-to-tail crawl, or taking on the challenge of an arduous trek to the far reaches of the country, the lively Leon copes with hardly any effort - and keeps you posted with an infotainment system to be envied. In short it is a benchmark for complete driving satisfaction, and fun without edging you towards bankruptcy. A target price of around £22,940 is at least £1,000 cheaper than its two main rivals. As a thoroughly rewarding return, it would top out at 134 mph, if there was anywhere you would be allowed to do it and it would speed you from zero-60mph in 7.7 seconds - and give you 48.7mpg. I don’t know what more you could want...
