I hope this explains our quirky front cover; Movember (Moustache / November). Since 2004, this has become an annual event which involves the growing of moustaches during the month to raise awareness of men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and male suicide. The Movember Foundation run various events throughout the month, details of which can be found on their web site www.movember.com. The aim of these events is to encourage Surrey Libraries and Brooklands Radio have been looking for people in Surrey are menwho ( known on the site as Mo Bros!) to get involved and in brilliant at reading aloud. We’ve received nomina?ons from people across Surrey, created turn, to increase our shortlist and invited our shortlist nominees to send in a recording of them reading aloud. early cancer detection, diagnosis and effective treatments. Many of us will have family members or friends Now we need you to choose the 2019 winner of the Surrey Reading Aloud compe==on. who will be affected by these issues, so it really is close to so Visit surreycc.gov.uk/libraries or brooklandsradio.co.uk from 8 November to listenof to the many our hearts.

vegan sausage pasta A quick and simple vegan dish. Cherry tomatoes are roasted with garlic just until they pop and blister, for a lovely intensified tomato flavour that’s lighter and fresher-tasting than a classic tomato sauce.
ingredients method 400g cherry tomatoes 4 garlic cloves, sliced 3 tbsp olive oil 300g pack Linda McCartney’s 6 Vegetarian Sausages 2 courgettes, trimmed and sliced Pinch salt 300g elicoidali pasta tubes Handful basil leaves (Serves 4)
1. Preheat the oven to 200ËšC, gas mark 6. Toss the tomatoes, garlic and 2 tbsp oil in a roasting tin; season. Remove the packaging and film from the sausages but leave in the foil tray. Put the roasting tin and foil tray in the oven for 15 minutes, giving each one a toss halfway through. 2. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the courgettes with the pinch of salt for about 8 minutes, turning regularly until golden. In a separate pan of boiling water, simmer the pasta for 10-12 minutes then drain, reserving a cup of pasta water. 3. Remove the courgettes from the frying pan and set aside on a plate. Slice the sausages and add to the pan, frying for a couple of minutes, then tip in the pasta, tomatoes, any roasting juices, 2-3 tbsp pasta water and the courgettes. Toss together briefly and serve scattered with basil leaves.
cooking tip Top with toasted flaked almonds to serve, if liked.

Safety in the Garden By Selina Botham
Award winning local garden designer Selina Botham looks at the issue of safety in the garden. We all want to feel safe in our gardens and it’s sometimes top on my clients mind if they have had a fall or if they have young children. Good garden design helps everyone access and enjoy their gardens more easily and is something I am always considering as I design. The biggest safety issues in gardens tend to be changes of level, water and slippery surfaces. This month I’ll tackle how to deal with changes of level as safely as possible. Levels Some gardens have huge level changes and others only a couple of steps and I’ve seen some very dangerous gardens, whether its just one badly positioned step which everyone trips down or a whole flight with uneven risers and treads which are hazardous. I’m often amazed at what people live with and its always a pleasure to make a garden work practically as well as aesthetically. Things to avoid are:- unexpected steps eg steps which go across the width of the back of the house - steps with risers of different heights, particularly in the same flight. - varying width of step treads - steps at odd angles - drops next to steps or paths or paved areas. - a single step - very steep or very shallow steps.
16 Looklocal Magazine - November 2019
Top designer tips:1. Balustrades or planting to stop accidental falls from heights. (A drop of 300mm or more needs care.) 2. Step sizes - The treads need to be wide enough to safely fit a foot, so I suggest no smaller than 300mm and all need to be the same. Likewise risers should all be the same, especially within one flight of stairs. Ideally 150mm high, but anything between 170mm and 120mm is ok. 3. A visual sign post for steps is helpful and this is why a step tread should overhang the riser so the shadow line creates a visual prompt. Different materials for the tread and the riser is a good idea. Using a different paving material as you approach the steps is helpful and can be visually effective too. A wall either side of the steps is also sometimes used, or specific planting can even be used. Next time I’ll give some tips on how to deal with safety for water features and then some things to look out for when choosing safe outdoor surfaces.

SEASONAL SPLASH FROM A TRIO OF CHOIRS
Returning to Addlestone Community Centre after their sell-out concert success at the venue two years ago, the hugely entertaining and impressive Elmbridge Choir and Elmbridge Ladies Choir will be back with a colourful splash this Christmas, this time proudly sharing the stage with their newly- formed sister choir, Surrey Rainbow Choir. Taking place on Saturday 30th November at 7pm, “Colours of Winter” promises a gentle lead-in to the Christmas season with a programme of joyous and heart-warming seasonal songs. “We’re really looking forward to another great concert in Addlestone, and in particular to be introducing Surrey Music’s newest group, Surrey Rainbow Choir, to the public”, says Cliff van Tonder, Founder and CEO of Surrey Music. “We are so proud of our shiny new choir and can’t wait for their first performance - it’s going to be
fab-u-lous!!” Surrey Rainbow Choir is the third choir founded and formed by Surrey Music, and the first and only LGBTQ+ choir in Surrey. Launched just weeks ago with almost 100 signed up members, the choir promises to deliver a cohesive and compelling performance under the musical direction of Christopher Wray. Surrey Music’s concerts are known for the sheer joy and entertainment they bring to the audience; the songs are delivered with a generous mix of humour and passion. With three fantastic choirs performing a varied programme, there’s no doubt that this year’s Christmas offering will deliver festive cheer in abundance. Tickets priced at £12 (adults), £5 (under 18) are available now from www.wintercolours.co.uk.

FIAT PANDA CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
Who could fail to love a Panda? No wonder they are so popular and stir such admiration and affection. They have rare appeal mainly because they are engaging, attractive and are relatively inexpensive to maintain. My emphasis is focussed on the little joys manufactured by Fiat. Their Panda, not the newest brand on our highways and byways, is a surefire winner in the hotly contested small city car market where value for money is a premium factor. Producing small cars is a Fiat stronghold.Their Panda was revitalised for an eagerly welcomed relaunch in 2011 - and the Italian masters of the small car have continuously and painstakingly updated and improved its performance and kerbside appeal. It may not be as super sophisticated as its foremost rival, the Volkswagen Up, but on the road, where it really matters, its response to one’s demands is very satisfying. It is safe and sound. As nippy as needs be on just about every hectic and threatening trip into the city from the suburbs. And, as an essential safety-first extra, the latest Panda
offers an ‘imminent collision detection’ device which slams on the brakes automatically if it feels a prang threatens. How about that for considered concern? Basically, not too much has changed over the years and it still prefers practicality over pompous style. It is a tad taller than other city cars and it’s five doors offer easy access even to the most stiffly backed among us. In the cabin the high mounted gear lever is rather sporty, the dashboard is a clutter of essential info and the wise buyer can choose from half-a-dozen interior colours to match with at least 10 exterior shades. So you may personalise it to your individual fancy, the same goes for the excellent 500- model. There is also, a ‘DualDrive’ button to take the weight off the steering and for ease of parking. Things just get better don’t they? All in all, to my mind, the Panda is an enjoyable and popular little eye-catcher. Just like it’s four legged, fury namesake..... Specification: Two petrol, one diesel.Warranty 60,000 miles. Prices range from £9,800 to £18,300. My choice: 85bhp TwinAir Easy 4x4. Mpg:37.7. Speed 0-62 mph in 12 secs. Cost £14,865.
