Carrot Sweet Potato and Feta Fritters A TAS TY SNACK OR A LIG HT VEGETARIAN MEAL Serves 4 - Preparation Time 30 minutes, plus draining time
INGREDIENTS • 800g carrots • 2 large potatoes • 1 large onion • 600g sweet potatoes • 5 medium free-range eggs • 200g feta, crumbled • 6 tbsp wholemeal flour • 25g fresh coriander, chopped • 2 tbsp cumin seeds • 300ml vegetable oil • Green salad, lime wedges and yogurt to serve
METHOD Peel and grate the carrots, potatoes, onion, and sweet potatoes. Place them into a colander or a large sieve over the sink with a big pinch of salt, and leave to drain for 30 minutes. Take a large bowl and in it combine the eggs, feta cheese, flour, coriander, and cumin seeds. Beat with a fork until well mixed. Squeeze as much liquid from the grated veg as you can, pressing down hard into the colander or sieve for 1-2 minutes, then add the grated veg to the egg mixture. Stir to combine well and season generously. Heat the oven to 150C/fan130C/gas 2. Heat the oil in a wok or deep saucepan to 180°C, or until a cube of bread sizzles. Put dollops of the mix into a slotted spoon and lower into the hot oil. Cook 2-3 at a time: fry for 1-2 minutes, then turn the fritters over and repeat until golden. Put on a plate and keep warm in an oven set to low.

Password Security AAlmost every day we have clients calling up and needing our help ASAP because their email accounts have been compromised. A scammer has gained access to their email account and started sending out malicious emails and gaining access to personal information. Most of the time the user hasn’t done anything wrong to allow access by the scammer. So, what went wrong and how did this happen? One simple mistake that so many computer users still make. An insecure password! Using a simple password and then using that same password for multiple websites is an almost guaranteed way to make it easy for scammers to access your email or other accounts. It’s almost every week we hear about another large organisation’s data leak leading to more logins and passwords being revealed to scammers. Often these leaked passwords find their way onto the dark web and scammers then try using each leaked password to gain access to email accounts. If you want to check and see if any passwords of yours have been leaked you can use the website; haveibeenpwned. com to check. If you enter your email address the website will let you know if you have ever been part of a data breach or passwords leak. If you have don’t panic, almost everyone at some point in their digital life will have a password leaked. The website will tell you on what date the information was leaked. If you haven’t updated your email password since the latest leak and you do use the same password for other accounts then we would recommend updating your email password as soon as you can to a new unique password and remember to use symbols, capital letters and numbers to keep it as secure as possible. Making sure your email passwords are not being used for any other websites or services is your best way to stay secure. Really it’s best practice to use a different password for each service or online account you have, to protect yourself. The only problem you can have is that this can lead to a new issue; Remembering all these different passwords. To help with this we would recommend using a Password Manager. A service that stores your passwords, auto-fills them onto the webpage for you and even informs you if they are at risk. We have partnered with a leading password security company so we can provide and help get you set up with a password manager that will help keep you secure. We can offer a full service where we help get your passwords updated and set up in a secure password vault and show you how to better manage your passwords. If you are interested then just give our sales team a call and we can send y ou more information on what we can offer and how we can help you.

SIGNING OF ARMED
FORCES COVENANT
BY HEAD OF SURREY FREEMASONS
Col Patrick Crowley MBE, DL & Ian Chandler, Head of Surrey Freemasons
The Armed Forces Covenant has been signed by Col Patrick Crowley MBE, DL and Ian Chandler, Head of Surrey Freemasons, at Holy Trinity Church in Guildford. The Ceremony was attended by local dignitaries from across Surrey, including Councillor Sushila Abraham, the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Kingston. The Armed Forces Covenant is a pledge with the Nation that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy, and society they serve with their lives. It focusses on helping members of the armed forces community have the same access to government and commercial services and products as any other citizen. This support is provided in many areas including education and family well-being, having a home, starting a new career, access to healthcare, financial assistance, and discounted services. The Covenant supports serving personnel, service leavers, veterans, and their families,
24 Looklocal Magazine - May 2022
and is fulfilled by the different groups and communities that have committed to making a difference. Surrey Freemasons have now become one of those groups. At the ceremony, Ian Chandler, Head of Surrey Freemasons, said: “It is a great pleasure for me to sign the Armed Forces Covenant on behalf of the United Grand Lodge of England. Our Lodges, through the centuries, have always had a close relationship with those who serve in the armed forces. Servicemen have found that our values of Integrity, Friendship, Respect and Charity are a natural fit with their own and many ex-servicemen comment that the camaraderie they find in a Lodge is second only to that they have experienced whilst serving. It is also true to say that the experiences and friendships that they form help a much wider cross-section of society better understand the military, its ethos, and its purpose. I am delighted to have formally recognised, in (the signing of) this document, the relationship that has always existed between our great institutions.” Colin Pizey - Comm’s Officer

Hopes for Hazel Dormice
as Hedgerows Grow Across North Downs Surrey Wildlife Trust trains young people in hedge laying and planting SWT Hedge Laying057©Jon Hawkins
Surrey Wildlife Trust has trained more than 100 volunteers to invigorate the growth of hedgerows across the North Downs in Surrey and give hope to iconic hazel dormice. The new volunteer task force has surveyed an incredible 27km of hedgerows and planted and laid 2km, learning historic countryside skills so they can create beautiful hedgerows to help populations of dormice expand. Hazel dormice are golden-brown, 6-9cm in size, have large black eyes, a furry tail, and spend all their time in small family groups above ground in hedgerows and trees. With long toes and sharp claws, they are acrobatic climbers, so well suited to life within a dense bushy hedgerow. Since 1945 half of hedgerows have disappeared from the landscape & 93% of the county’s remaining hedgerows are now in poor condition. The loss & fragmentation of hedgerows has meant a decline of more than 50% in the UK population of hazel dormouse. Even small gaps in a hedgerow could be a big problem for dormice, isolating populations and threatening the adorable species to extinction. But now Surrey Wildlife Trust is training a workforce to reverse hedgerow declines. From
November to March, the hedge laying, and planting season is in full swing. Katy Fielding, Hedgerow Heritage project officer at Surrey Wildlife Trust, said: ‘Hedgerows are like a silver bullet for climate change and wildlife. They already store nine million tonnes of carbon in the UK and take up a lot less space than forests. Put simply, hedgerows provide one of the most convenient and compact climate change solutions there is. ‘Protecting us from wind, flooding, drought, pollution and soil erosion, hedgerows also provide safe passage, shelter, roosting opportunities, an all-year-round food source for birds, bats, bees, butterflies and dormouse to name a few. They pack a big punch and we want to get everyone planting and laying hedgerows from back gardens to open farmlands.’ For further information about becoming a volunteer to help survey, plant or lay hedgerows across the North Downs as an individual or community group please visit www.saveourhedgerows.co.uk The innovative ‘Preserving Surrey’s Hedgerow Heritage’ project has in part been made possible by National Lottery players.

Book Reviews MAY 2022 ‘Still Life’ by Sarah Winman (paperback £8.99) One night in 1944 a chance encounter in war-ravaged Italy changes the lives of young soldier Ulysses Temper and older art historian Evelyn Skinner. They return to London after the war, Ulysses to the East End pub he called home, Evelyn to her role as part-time lecturer at the Slade School. Although seemingly worlds apart, the bond forged in that long night endures for decades. Ulysses’ world is expanded and shaped by all that he has learned from Evelyn. The beautiful, loving tale of their lives is a joy to read. ‘The Wolf in the Woods’ by Dan Brotzel (paperback £8.99) Colleen and Andrew head to Cornwall for a teetotal week in a cottage to rejuvenate their struggling marriage. The lane damages their car as they arrive and the sea is nowhere to be seen, but they’re staying positive and pretending they’re not dying for a drink. As the days go by, the landlord, Wolf, makes his eccentric presence felt, the car is not bouncing back, and getting away from it all turns out to be more complicated than they expected. Full of humour, enjoyable twists and relatable family dynamics, The Wolf in the Woods is a playful read with a sinister edge to its breezy character, much like Wolf himself. ‘Moonlight and the Pearler’s Daughter’ by Lizzie Pook (hardback £14.99) Set towards the end of the 19th century , the Brightwell family has sailed from England to make their new home and fortune in Western Australia. Ten years later and Charles Brightwell, now a most prolific pearler, has gone missing from his ship and Eliza is convinced there is more to the story and refuses to believe her father is dead, but she soon learns that the truth can cost more than pearls. The book follows Eliza on her quest for truth, in an era, location and culture where young ladies are meant to behave. You can feel the heat and see the dirt in this well-written novel. Without question Eliza is the lead and standout character, she feels real, brave, scared, unsure and warm. A definite read for the summer.
