A Lasting Power of Attorney is now as important as a Will DO YOU KNOW WHY? If you lost mental capacity through an accident or an illness such as dementia, you would no longer be able to make your own decisions.You would be totally reliant on those around you, such as family or friends. However, if you don’t have a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA), they could not take control of your finances or take care of your personal welfare. Frightening when you think about it! In 2007, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) came fully into force. If you do not have an LPA, family and friends would have to apply to the Court of Protection to be appointed a deputy to look after your affairs. The application process is lengthy and complex and fraught with problems. When someone applies to become a deputy to look after your affairs, the initial fees and annual fees that would have to be paid would be as follows: • There is an application fee of £400.00* payable to the Court of Protection. • There is also an annual supervision fee of up to £320.00*, dependent on the level of supervision necessary.

• A security bond would also be needed, and based on an estate valued at £250,000, these can typically cost on average £500.00* per annum. • The time and expense of making annual returns to the Court of Protection. It is far more sensible, whilst you have mental capacity, to safeguard your future by putting in place a Lasting Power of Attorney now. This will allow it to be used, should it be needed, without the initial and ongoing expense and annual reporting to the Court of Protection which would apply without one. Mandara Wills is expertly positioned to arrange a Lasting Power of Attorney for clients at a fraction of the cost you would incur should one be required but not be in place. * Court of Protection Website www.justice.gov.uk

From the Editor

Welcome to our Summer Issue!

CHATTERBUS UPDATE

Once again, as I write this message, the rain is falling outside! What a great British summer! I’m not sure about the predictions for the weeks ahead, but let’s just hope that there are enough sunny days to warm our bones! We decided not to let the weather get us down here in the Look Local office. We are in summer mode, despite the weather, and have just enjoyed a ‘deadline ice cream treat’ with the heater on ! We share a whole host of interesting Cobham news for you in this issue; St Andrew’s Primary School staged a wonderful fundraising triathlon and invited me along on one of the action-packed days. Swimming, running and cycling were enjoyed by all, and around £3 000 was raised to go towards some changing room facilities to be built by their magnificent swimming pool. It was a really fun event, have a look at our coverage inside! The Medicine Garden provides the perfect setting for a lovely trip out, and my recent visit was no exception. I went along recently to an open evening at The Art Shed, one of the small businesses within the grounds, and I was very impressed by the selection of art on offer. Not just the obvious either: this collection of artists provides an eclectic selection, demonstrating a wide array of skills. My photos don’t really do it justice, but hopefully might just inspire a few of you to visit. I’m sure you will enjoy it and it’s right on our doorstep, too. A prestigious award for Cobham Heritage and Conservation Trust has recently been announced and very well-deserved too. Take a look inside to find out more. Add to this all our regular features, a restaurant review at Massala, Cobham’s very own ‘fine dining’ Indian restaurant, a news update on the new and well loved Chatterbus and a bumper double page ‘What on’ page and you’ve pretty much got it covered! That’s about it for this month. We will be back in September, following a short summer break, with news on the Cobham Heritage Day and lots more too. Until then,, stay safe and I wish you all a wonderful summer!

he pupils at St. Andrew’s School in Cobham took to their bicycles and scooters, put on their running shoes and swimming hats too and had a fun time as the whole school took part in a fundraising triathlon! The school is very lucky to have its very own truly wonderful swimming pool, but there are no proper changing rooms near the pool for the children to use. At the moment, they have to wrap up in their towels and make a dash across the playground to the warmth of the school to dry off.

This event seemed like a great way to raise funds to go towards some poolside changing rooms from which they will of course benefit! It was lovely to see all the children joining in, and it was made very clear that it was not about who came first, but just about being part of this great event, and every one was having fun. Thank you, St. Andrew’s, for inviting Look Local Magazine along to your super dooper triathlon event. I’m sure you will all be enjoying those new changing rooms really soon!

THE VINERIES THANK YOU TO EVERYONE

WHO CAME ALONG TO VILLAGE DAY

GARDEN CENTRE EASTWICK WI VISIT THE VINERIES GARDEN CENTRE

In April, The Vineries were delighted to host a nursery walk for the Eastwick WI. Michelle, the general manager, took the group behind the scenes onto the nursery to see the inner workings. She had arranged for the group to see how the potting machine works and how it helps to semi-automate the process, although there is no substitute for the human touch! Growers Alan Bone and Caroline Smale demonstrated how the machine works and explained how the machine could be used with different sized pots and “dibbers” for different sized plug plants.

Michelle explained about the different pot sizes and compost mixes and the varying stages of development of the plants until they are finally ready for sale. It was interesting to hear that they no longer heat the glasshouses - this keeps the costs down and also means that the plants are much hardier when you buy them and will transfer into their new “homes” much more successfully than if they come from a heated environment. We are fortunate to have a local nursery growing their own plants rather than buying them in.

Nursery tours for small groups are available by appointment at certain times of the year. Please contact Michelle on 01372 458934 for details.

he Medicine Garden in Cobham provides an idyllic setting for The Art Shed, where a collection of local artists with a wide range of skills display and sell their work. I enjoyed a lovely evening with these artists recently when they hosted an open evening to showcase their latest collections.

CONSERVATION & HERITAGE TRUST RECOGNISED WITH QUEENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S AWARD FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE FOR 2015

A voluntary group from Cobham, which works in the community to preserve the heritage and culture of Cobham and its surrounding areas, has been honoured with the Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award for Voluntary Service, the highest award given to local volunteer groups across the UK to recognise outstanding work in their communities. Celebrating its tenth successive year, the Cobham Conservation and Heritage Trust continues to promote high standards of architecture and planning in Cobham, whilst educating the local community in the geography, natural history, history and culture of

16 Looklocal Magazine - Summer issue 2015

the local area. The Trust meets the need for a strong voice in the community to ensure that the best of the past is preserved and cherished, whilst being mindful of the needs of future generations. The Cobham Conservation and Heritage Trust was started some ten years ago by the current chairman, Sir Gerald Acher, and David Tipping, vice chairman, to meet the need of a stronger community voice in many of the developments affecting Cobham, its residential and conservation areas, high street and open spaces. Heritage Day, with its famous plastic duck race, was established in its first year to showcase our community and through it, our history.

A farmers’ market followed which still flourishes today under independent control. Conservation projects included the Tilt Memorial to those who lost their lives in the Second World War, and the award-winning Riverhill Regeneration Project, dedicated by HRH the Countess of Wessex last year as our Diamond Jubilee project. The Trust works actively through its hardworking 14 person committee, over 150 volunteers, local schools, Elmbridge Borough Council Leisure Services department, Surrey County Council, the Environment Agency, St. Andrew’s Church and other local organisations, and has now grown to over 1,100 fee-paying members. Sir Gerald Acher CBE LVO, chairman of the Cobham Conservation and Heritage Trust, said: “This is a tremendous achievement for the Trust and its hardworking committee and one with which I am very proud to have been involved. During the last decade, the Cobham Conservation and Heritage Trust has gone from strength to strength, tackling some ambitious projects, such as entertaining 5,000 people annually on Heritage Day, creating an education programme for the local schools, and hosting HRH the Countess of Wessex for the dedication of the £150,000 Riverhill Project to the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. All of our projects such as these are run solely by our army of willing volunteers. To achieve our goals, we have involved individuals, families, local businesses, schools, clubs, borough and county councils, and the community spirit and cohesion of Cobham are obvious from our combined achievements. I would like to thank my wonderful committee, all our members, volunteers and supporters, and I look forward to working with everyone in the next exciting ten years.” This group works very hard for the good of Cobham and has accomplished some amazing achievements. Look Local Magazine congratulates everyone involved in Cobham Conservation and Heritage Trust. You should be very proud of this prestigious award !

I RECENTLY, ENJOYED REVISITING MY FRIENDS AT MASSALA INDIAN RESTAURANT IN COBHAM

t was great to catch up with owner Bishnu. He is always very welcoming and seemed genuinely happy to see us! We enjoyed a delicious dinner and sampled some very tasty Nepalese dishes which have been added to their menu recently. For those of you who have not yet visited Massala, may I just say that it’s no ordinary Indian restaurant: it really does offer a fine dining Indian experience and at an affordable price, too. With no artificial colours used in the preparation, the food is more natural-looking (and tasting) than you would expect from your run-of-the-mill curry restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully laid out and it has a bright, modern feel about the place. Our waiter Kamal was very friendly but unintrusive, and he did a great job of looking after us. We started our meal in a traditional way with some light, crispy poppadums which were served with a selection of homemade chutneys and relishes. Yes, homemade! Very well worth the effort, as they were delicious. We then enjoyed some unusual Nepalese dishes, including Chicken Pakora, marinated with a wonderful selection of Nepalese herbs & spices. This was accompanied by some Aloo Tikki, a sort of potato mixture served with a delicious homemade mint sauce, followed by my personal favourite dish of the evening, scallops served in the most deliciously thick coconut sauce. My mouth is

watering as I think about these! And so the selection of tastes kept coming. One thing I hadn’t thought about before was the possibility of an oriental influence on Indian food. But Nepalease Chilli Chicken certainly had it, with a distinct sweet and sour taste about it. Very delicious it was, too! A whole array of vegetarian dishes are available and many of these also come from Nepal. The vegetables we had were, without a doubt, the very best I have ever eaten in an Indian restaurant: not over cooked and indistinguishable, but slightly al dente and very fresh and seasonal. Everything we ate was cooked to a very high standard. Even the naan bread was light and crispy and the pilar rice light and fluffy. It was a very enjoyable meal. Of course, all your favorite Indian dishes are also available, so if you fancy a regular curry, that is not a problem either. The chef at Massala has 20 years’ experience under his belt and Bishnu a further 18 years working in the restaurant business. This certainly comes across, as the food is amazing and the front of house is also well-managed. We spotted Bishnu greeting regular customers like old friends: he was even invited to join them at the end of the evening and share a coffee, which he enjoyed doing. The staff at Massala really take a pride in their work and this is certainly reflected in the experience when you eat there. Open every day between 5pm and 11pm, this lovely restaurant is highly recommended by Look Local.

WO R D S B Y DAV I D K I D J E N S E N

So what’s your ultimate super group?

Back in the days when proper musicians played proper music…I recall a dinner party game in which everyone round the table would invent their own pop/rock outfit & try to outshine the rest of the guests with their choice of band members. It comes from a time when it was big news if, say, the lead guitarist of one group left one big name group for another. This would have applied to The Who, Cream, Yardbirds, Yes, the Faces & many more. So if I were to play this game of creating brand new bands, I’d probably pick Keith Moon, the late drummer with the Who, as my drummer. Wild at times, but I also found him to be the perfect gentleman on other occasions. Bass guitar would have to be played by the lovable man from the Small Faces & later the Faces. A solid, dependable guy called Slim Chance who also wrote enduring songs for Rod Stewart & co. as well as his own backing band that he left The Faces for. Keyboards would need to be played by my old mate & keyboard genius Rick Wakeman, who played with Cat Stevens, David Bowe & Yes before going solo. Rhythm guitar is tricky but I’d have to go for George Harrison, an underrated maverick who was as influential as they come & would qualify for lead guitar had I not picked Jimmy Page for his incredibly full & dynamic presence with Led Zeppelin, & as for vocals…... Chrissie Hynde, the Pretenders singer with her fantastic range of styles, from hard-hitting rock to delicate soul, as demonstrated on Thin Line Between Love & Hate. So what do you think? Now all I need is a name for my band….?

It will also be a wonderful way for teenagers to get around during the school holidays at just £1 per journey for under16s. Chatterbus Chairman Sir Gerald Acher said he was “thrilled” by the way in which the bus is being used. At a two month review, some 2000 journeys had been made with around 50 passengers a day, Monday to Friday. 100% rated Chatterbus as good or excellent & 100% per cent would use it again. Mary Lewis, Surrey County Councillor for Cobham, expressed her delight that the service is enabling people to get

from Cobham to the Jobcentre Plus in Weybridge, one of the reasons the bus was founded: “It just shows how something as simple as transport can make such a difference to people’s lives.” These statistics come to life in a film specially made by ex-BBC presenter & Cobham resident Michael Rodd. A commuter describes how “I get the bus every morning. It links with the trains and it’s excellent. It’s what the community has always needed”, while school children on the way to St Andrew’s in Cobham & St Matthew’s in Downside are delighted, as are their parents. One lady used to spend £25 per day on taxis. Many, especially the elderly & non-drivers, find access to Brooklands Retail Park & the drivers a godsend – “They are very kind – they help you on with the shopping.” The survey has shown how there could be some adjustments to the service, however, to better serve local needs. Chatterbus organisers are considering changes, such as the simplification of the Saturday C2 timetable & the inclusion of Cobham Sainsbury’s during the week as well as on Saturdays. Revisions will be made with Surrey County Council’s autumn/ winter general timetables. The special offer vouchers, the film, timetables and fares can be found on www. chatterbus.org.uk.

GARDENING

olour is often one of the first things people notice about a plant, either its flowers, or to a lesser extent, its leaves, and so it plays an important part when it comes to the naming of plants. Continuing on with Latin terms associated with flowers and shrubs, I’m going to try to explain a little about the colour adjectives over the next few months, as it’s helpful to know them when you are trying to plan your garden. So, here we go with red and pink…

The reds are the most arresting, but there’s not just the one shade of red. They vary from blood red to fiery red/orange to red/purple, and there are adjectives for all these different shades. Very often, as with so many botanical names, it is easy to work them out if you think of a similar English word: for example, straightforward red is ruber, which is simple to remember if you consider the English ‘ruby’, and evident in Centranthus ruber, the red valerian, and Escallonia rubra. Rubellus is ‘reddish’, seen in the cultivar name of Skimmia japonica ‘Rubella’, and rubiginosus is rusty red, as in Rubus rubiginosus, the rusty red bramble. Some plants start one colour and turn red, and so are described as rubescens or erubescens, or ‘becoming red’, and this is seen frequently in the plant world: for example, Acer rubescens, Geranium rubescens, Heuchera rubescens and Philodendron erubescens, all of which turn red eventually. Blood red is sanguineus - in heraldry, ‘sanguine’ is the colour ‘blood red’ - which is helpful if you know heraldic stuff, less so if you don’t - and in the plant world, it features in Geranium sanguineum, or the

bloody cranesbill, and Ribes sanguineum, the flowering currant. Flammeus and igneus will both be describing plants which are flaming or fiery red , but others are not quite so obvious, such as rufus, or ‘reddish brown’, as in Heuchera ‘Rufus’, or vinaceus, wine red, found in the heather Erica x vinacea, although this could be easier to guess because of the ‘vin-‘ at the beginning. While the reds are often hot and exciting, the pinks are usually softer and more romantic, but there is also a variety of shades of these, from rosy pink, seen in so many plants with roseus in their names - Alcea rosea, the pink hollyhock and Allium roseum, or rosy garlic, and also the flowers of Viburnum opulus ‘Roseum’ which turn from lime green to white but acquire a light rose tint as they fade, hence the cultivar name of ‘Roseum’ to flesh-coloured, usually denoted by the Latin carneus and seen in Gladiolus carneus, a pale pink gladdie, and Aesculus x carnea, the pink horse chestnut. Coral pink is referred to as coralloides, as in Helichrysum coralloides. That’s quite enough for now. Next time, blue and purple…..and yellow (buueeeerrrrkk) will be last of all…. happy holidays to you all.

PERFORMANCE

W HAT T O L O O K F O R I N A H IG H P E R F O R M A N C E C OM P U T E R There are many reasons why you would need a high performance computer. It may be that you play games, photo edit, video edit, or you do 3D design or animation. If your machine’s performance is not up to the task, this will result in poor graphics quality or very jerky performance, or if it’s taking ages to reflect any changes you have made, now is the time to address the problem. We have a significant range of truly high performance PCs and laptops which will consign your previous issues to the “distant memory” department. Our PCs are all custom-built, so we can build the very best machine for your purposes,. The laptops are pre-assembled and enjoy a stunning specification. What to look for: Processor The raw performance is supplied by the processor (CPU), and the device you should be going for is the Intel Core i7 quad core device. Some laptops have Core i7 CPUs with dual core CPUs; they provide you with less power and are generally of lower performance Solid state hard drive (SSDs) Programs and data are stored on the hard drive in the PC, and the faster you can access this information, the faster the PC will respond. The hard drive type that has been used in PCs for the last 20 years has been a mechanical hard drive, and whilst they can hold huge amounts of

data, their access speed is quite slow. The solid state hard drives offer dynamic performance, up to 20 times faster than a mechanical drive, but the SSD’s capacity tends to be less, so our solution is to install both. The SSD is used to store your Windows system and programs, whilst the mechanical hard drive is used to store all your data Graphics card This is a device which resides inside your machine and manages the information displayed. There are two main manufacturers of graphics cards: NVidia and Radeon, with a variety of models in the range. Going for the most up to date graphics card could cost as much as £600.00 just for the card, but selecting the next model back in the range (which was the very best graphics card only 2 or 3 months ago) will reduce the cost of the graphics card to £290.00. Other factors Having at least 8Gb of RAM is important, as is having a good powerful power supply to provide a reliable and regulated power feed to the components. A quality case with good cooling and thermal qualities is also essential, and finally the motherboard must be of a suitable standard to cater for your needs. There are a number of factors you need to consider, so before you make that decision, come and talk to us to ensure you are covering all the aspects required.

The House of Hidden Mothers by Meera Syal (hardback £14.99) In London, Shyama & her younger partner Toby want to have a child together, but, at forty-four, she is running out of options. They travel to India to explore surrogacy at a respected clinic, meeting Mala, a young woman unsatisfied with the restrictions of village life & her cold marriage. Meanwhile, Shyama’s nineteen year old daughter Tara is unhappy about their plans, & her ageing parents have their own battles to fight. Syal creates the intimate feel of family life & close friendships, ranging between London and India, with its traditional villages, fast-changing cities & exhausting bureaucracy. This intimacy makes her exploration of the global financial politics of fertility more powerful & thought-provoking, as well as emotionally affecting. This is a warm-hearted novel, told with Syal’s irrepressible humour & filled with lively, spirited characters.

Orient by Christopher Bollen (hardback £16.99) The novel is set in the village of Orient, a rural community on the tip of Long Island. It’s a story of natives versus outsiders arriving every summer to upset the status quo. The arrival of Mills, a grubby 19 year old Californian drifter & foster kid, sends the whole neighbourhood into a frenzy of gossip & suspicion, especially when the bodies of the long-standing residents start piling up. This is a really suspenseful murder mystery story with an unexpected twist at the end. A perfect summer read.

Don’t Try This At Home by Angela Readman (paperback £10) This is a bewitching collection of short stories. A woman working in a chip shop becomes radiantly Elvis as a consequence of being touched by love & attention. A child turns to the jackalope, or antlered rabbit, to save her home & her father’s dignity. Magic feels real. Readman’s imaginative tales are firmly rooted in real experience, & are fiercely relevant. She delivers thought-provoking angles on human relationships, modern society & values. Her stories linger in the mind. Worth reading!

Senile decay is a wicked saboteur of the occupants of Memory Lane and it wreaked its havoc yet again on me when I strove to recall what Lexus saloon I tested a decade or so ago. I was stirred to jogging my mind for a flashback as a comparison when I set about reviewing a complete contrast to the whispering wotsit I sampled ages ago to Lexus’s RCF roaring firebrand new release. The roomily elegant saloon of yesteryear revelled in a hush of an engine so quiet that I was duped into worrying it had packed up as I waited at, say, traffic lights. The same level of dupe cannot be said of the latest Lexus, their wonderful new challenger in the wild and woolly world of high performance 2x2 sporting speedsters. But you’ll have to be fast off the mark to grab one: I’m told that only 200 initially will be on sale in the UK. What you will get for your hardearned is a whizz of a hand-built motoring treat - the most powerful V8 road car the company has ever

built, endurance-tested to the limit on the world’s most demanding race circuits by skilled drivers who know how to take a car way beyond the safety limits that we sensibly impose on ourselves. To sit in the snug, superbly appointed leather-clad cockpit in front of two rather tight socalled passenger seats is an oasis of simplicity and calm with a nonbewildering array of instruments. Those minimal back seats, hardly roomy enough for the offspring, are further rendered useless by the severely curved roofing that dips deeply over the rear end. The benefit is that the boot is of a very useable size, and that’s more than most of its main rivals, such as the F-type Jaguar, dare boast. And the whole Lexus set-up carries

enough insulation and electronic gizmos to keep the engine noise at bay and ensure the driver is aware of any looming perils. As an example, there is an alert to remind you sharply if you carelessly wander out of your lane, plus blindspot monitoring. The RCF is a welcome breakthrough for a car maker better known for its SUVs and big saloons, and to take on the established likes of Jaguar, Porsche, BMW and Mercedes is indeed a bold move. But esssentially, it ticks all the crucial boxes and, to my mind, is a surefire winner, albeit a heavyweight two-tonner compared with, say, the 150kg lighter BMW M4. When you give the engine some hearty revs and stir the rear-wheel drive into full action, the rewards, either on the tight and twisty side road wiggles or cruising M-way stretches, are a feeling of composure and safety. RCF? Racy. Comfy. And fast.. Specification: Lexus 2x2 V8.HP 467. Top speed 168mph.0-60 in 4.5 seconds. 26mpg. Price: £59,995.

World Cafe

making Cobham healthier, happier and more resilient

At our recent open meeting we had a World Café session and created a vision for Cobham in 2020. There were four tables, representing the four topics we care about most: food, community, transport and waste/energy. Everyone spent ten minutes at each table and shared their ideas.

We held a World Café back in March 2013 and came up with lots of different ideas. One idea was the Cobham Bus Company, which is now known as the Chatterbus. Another was a plant swap, which we held in May in collaboration with the Cobham Garden Club. This time we came up with ideas such as the Cobham Clean Campaign (focusing on litter awareness), a bi-monthly repair café (where broken items are fixed), an annual food festival/street party, and more parking for bicycles. We hope to make some of these ideas a reality and will keep you posted! The results of both sessions can be found on our website under About Us/Aspirations.
