JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS
J
ust like Santa Claus, L&E were able to deliver in time for Christmas for James and Hayley Oakenfold.
The Oakenfolds moved into their terraced home in Twickenham in June and discovered that their new neighbours were about to start a building project using L&E. The couple had already heard positive things about the company and were planning an extension so decided it made sense to get their work done concurrently. James explains, “It was perfect timing and we’d heard such good things about L&E from all areas.” Starting a build in the run-up to Christmas can be a daunting task, with the possibility of inclement weather and an immovable deadline. “The work started at the beginning of October and it was a standing joke with the builders that I’d invited my parents round for Christmas so we needed everything completed by then,” laughs James. “The foreman was always confident that they would be finished in time, and they were. We christened our new oven with the Christmas turkey!” The pressure of this deadline surely caused additional stress to the couple? “The team always had a calm, cando attitude, which helped to reassure us. We had almost daily meetings with the foreman where he would explain the schedule, so we were always really clued up on what was happening at any one time and it gave us huge confidence in them,” remembers James. “You always prepare yourself for the worst where building work is concerned and it was almost worrying that it went so smoothly. There were no problems at all – it was a pain-free experience.” The new room that has been created in the couple’s home has transformed their lives, “We love the sense of space and the bi-fold doors – it’s got an airy and bright feel to it.” The Oakenfolds were so happy with their whole experience that they would recommend L&E “without hesitation”.

IB DAB ART CLUB runs baby, preschool art classes and after-school art clubs in Cobham, Oxshott and Esher. Due to great demand, they are just launching a second ‘Baby Messy’ Art class at Sandown Play Café in Esher as part of the BBC Arts Get Creative Campaign. Dib Dab Art Club is joining hundreds of organisations nationwide to become a Get Creative Champion.’This second class, led by Jo Mitchell Long, officially launched on Monday 13th April and is already proving to be very popular. Dib Dab also run an After School class for 4-8 year olds at Sandown, allowing the children to expand on the themes and really hone their artistic talents. The club was founded by Jo, a trained graphic designer and artist, with her good friend Beth Bryant. Their vision was to provide creative, fun and educational art classes for babies to older children (up to age 8 so far!) to fire their imagination and allow them to express themselves. The children get to take home a beautiful piece of work, rather than mounds of soggy paintings and recyclable art. They really develop their creativity,

imagination and self-expression along the way. For the pre-school art classes, Dib Dab have teamed up with Pizza Express to bring you a new concept in kids art classes. Keen to give something more than simply a few stickers and a piece of card, each class is run around a theme and technique geared specifically to the younger age range to not only engage them, but also educate them and develop their love of all things creative. The After School Art Club runs on a Monday afternoon at Sandown Play Cafe, Esher from 4-4.45pm. This class develops creativity and selfconfidence in young children aged 4-8 years. ‘The children gain a huge sense of self-achievement and pride when able to express themselves through art and see their results in the purest form!’ ‘It’s fantastic that Dib Dab can now offer a third class in our Play Café. It expands our offering and allows more children to get creative and express themselves through art and play’ Victoria Morley - Owner, Sandown Play Café. The Dib Dab Mission :
To inspire the next generation to be creative and proud of what they can achieve!
This is a truly lovely local art club & as well as providing a very enjoyable activity for your child, it will also add to your own social calendar too! Please see the Dib Dab advert on the opposite page for more details.

he long-awaited Williams and Bunkell Fishmongers, famous for its smoked salmon, has joined the parade of independent shops in Horsell village near Woking. A grand opening, complete with bubbles, award-winning smoked salmon and a ceremonial cutting of the fish net was held on 10 March, attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Woking. The Mayor of Woking, Cllr Tony Branagan, said: “I feel particularly pleased and proud to open another business in Horsell. We have an excellent butcher, a fruit and veg shop and now a fishmonger’s. It really enhances and makes the place better.” Local residents have been eagerly awaiting the opening of the new fishmongers which, together with the new greengrocer Boz and Ali next door, has brought a much needed revival to the High Street in Horsell. Also based in the quaint Surrey village of Claygate since 1985, Williams and Bunkell Fishmongers already has an excellent reputation in the local area. It is renowned for its great customer service and stunning displays of sustainably-caught fresh fish and shellfish. The shop in Claygate also has a smoker on the premises where salmon, haddock and tuna are smoked. Director of Williams and Bunkell, Matthew Clift,

has been a fishmonger since he was 15. He started as a Saturday boy in Claygate and become a full time member of staff after he finished college. Known to everyone as Matt, his skills as a fishmonger won him the junior craftsmanship at the National Oyster and Seafood Fair when he was only 19. Matt became director in 2009, and since then has taken the business further and further, gaining Elmbridge’s Best Independent Retailer of the Year award in 2013, and a star at the 2014 Great Taste Awards for the salmon which is smoked and hand-sliced at the shop. Matthew says: “It’s great to be able to bring tradition back to a village where local residents love to shop locally, just like in Claygate. I am fortunate to have been made to feel extremely welcome here in Horsell. I’m very ‘old school’ trained, and I believe in gaining trust and respect first and foremost from my customers. I was taught everything I know by the late Brian Bunkell, who was renowned in the trade, and where our name Williams and Bunkell comes from.” Visit www.surreyfishmonger.co.uk to find out more about us, the products that we sell and how to find our shops.

hen a cow is calving or a sheep lambing, there is a danger that the uterus (womb) will follow the calf or lamb out of the cow or ewe. It is like taking off a sweater. It comes out inside out and it is a very serious condition. I was calving a cow out in the middle of a marsh with a veterinary student called Amy. It was too wet to get my van further than the gateway, so we carried the equipment we thought we would need. The cow was lying down exhausted on her brisket. She was trying to pass a normal-sized calf but it had its head back. We gave her an epidural anaesthetic to anaesthetise her back end, so although she could no longer feel anything, she could still do some pushing. We managed to get the calf out and were delighted; it was still alive but not very lively. I left Amy rubbing the calf with an old towel after we had
18 Looklocal Magazine - May 2015
cleared the mucus from its nose and mouth. I went to examine the cow to see that she was not torn. Disaster. She was starting to push her womb out. I shouted to Amy to hold the womb in while I ran to the van to get a big ‘Buhner’ stitching needle and some white uterine tape. I pushed the big needle through the anaesthetised vulva and threaded the tape. I then went to put tension on the tape, only to find I had threaded Amy’s blond hair through the needle instead of the tape. She was being drawn to the backside of the cow! All was well in the end, with a cow happily licking its calf without a veterinary student stuck to its backend. Luckily, Amy scrubbed up well and we are still friends. So, if you have problems with a cow calving, please ring Green Counties Vets. You will always get a proper farm vet, not a small animal vet in disguise, & we will try not to leave anyone stitched to your cow.

AWARD-WINNING LOCAL GARDEN DESIGNER SELINA BOTHAM
DISCUSSES HOW TO MAKE YOUR GARDEN USEFUL
A useful as well as beautiful garden is something which many of us desire and it is a dream of many to be able to pick and eat plants you have grown in your own garden. You know they don’t have any pesticides on them and they are fresh and haven’t travelled half way across the world.
S
ometimes all the hard work associated with vegetable growing puts people off, but really it doesn’t have to be that hard if you choose your ‘crops’ wisely. At RHS Hampton Court last year, the garden I designed for Jordans’ Cereals included ‘wild’ edibles & pretty edible flowers. Weeds such as dandelions, nettles & even the young shoots of ground elder can be cooked & eaten. Hairy bitter cress was eaten in medieval times during the lean winter months. It’s actually not as bad as it sounds! Amelanchier berries are the best ‘wild’ food I have tasted & are really the only one I can wholeheartedly recommend. They taste of raspberries & ripen in July For cultivated edibles with the minimum of fuss & the most impact, I would suggest growing some edible flowers such as calendula, violas & the white allium trifolium. All of these flowers can be picked & used to decorate salads. Borage is another worth including; it has blue flowers that taste of cucumber & are wonderful in Pimms. A fruit garden with strawberries & raspberries is another manageable way to create a productive area in your garden. Alternatively, an orchard with soft meadow grass beneath can sometimes be included. You could even consider growing tomatoes & chillies, dotted in a flowerbed amongst other ‘hot’ colours.
22 Looklocal Magazine - May 2015
Don’t forget herbs too; these are easy to grow & have lots of uses. Rosemary, bay, sage & thyme are the easiest to grow & useful to perk up even the most day-to-day meals. I’ve designed a couple of contemporary herb gardens recently & there is lots of scope for being creative with herbs. One garden in Vale Road, Claygate is open under the NGS on July 5th see www.ngs.org for details. All vegetable growing takes time & involves lots of watering, protecting from wildlife & picking (of course), so it takes a certain amount of dedication. If you have the space & time for veg, it can be a really rewarding hobby & your vegetable garden doesn’t have to look a mess or be consigned to the bottom of the garden. Indeed, some of the most successful productive gardens I have designed have been in front gardens where it is easy to pick & also water. Whatever your productive garden dreams, they can be incorporated within an overall garden design, so that your garden can be both beautiful & delicious. Selina Botham is an award-winning garden designer based in Claygate.

urrey resident and internationally acclaimed actor James Cosmo, star of Braveheart, Narnia and Game of Thrones, has joined up with local charity Street Child Africa to cycle across Zambia this September 2015. Cosmo, who plays tough, resilient characters onscreen, is now taking on a real-life challenge to change the lives of children who struggle to survive on the streets every day. Cosmo is raising essential funds for a local charity that supports vulnerable street children in Zambia by providing safe shelters, access to first aid, education, training and supporting families & communities.
Street Child Africa is offering an exclusive opportunity to fellow local people to ride alongside celebrity James Cosmo, before offering places to the wider public. Will you consider swapping your day-to-day reality to ride alongside a fellow local and celebrity on the streets of Zambia this September? We really hope that, like James Cosmo, you will come onboard with this exciting challenge to support street children. Cosmo explains, “Being involved in this bike ride for street children is a real life challenge for me. I’ve not cycled since I was a lad, so it’s going to be tough. If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be doing it. The courage these children show, out on the streets fending for themselves alone, is
iincredible. That’s why Street Child Africa’s work is so important. Let’s give these kids a chance”. Sheila Lutchanah, Head of Fundraising at Street Child Africa, commented: “We’ve had a lot of fun organising this cycle challenge. To be able to take our supporters on such an adventure in one of the countries where we work with street children is fantastic. Having the backing of James Cosmo and our local supporters will greatly benefit the lives of the children we work with on the streets.” Will you join James Cosmo in this challenge? Cosmo himself has faced many challenges in his life. He remembers the days of struggling in a one bedroom flat with his wife Annie and baby. Then he received his
big break - a call from actor Mel Gibson, asking him to play Campbell with him in the film Braveheart. By taking part in this sponsored challenge, supporters are showing the world that we all have challenges in our lives but that they can be overcome. Cycle Zambia takes you on- and off-road through rural southern Zambia, finishing at the spectacular Victoria Falls. Organised through Discover Adventure, the challenge starts on Friday 25th September and finishes Saturday 3rd October 2015. To take up this exclusive opportunity to join Cycle Zambia and change a street child’s life, email Zoe or call 020 8972 9820 by 10th April. https://www.justgiving.com/jamescosmo/

Ever since I can remember, women have recorded some of the best-loved and iconic songs of all time, & nowhere has the female voice made more of an impact than in country music. Long before girls started taking on the guys in the chart parade, women have played a big part in telling their own stories in song, of lovers, loners & losers. It was way back in 1924 in New York City that Aunt Samantha & Eva Davis wrote & recorded the songs known as ‘mountain music’ which influenced, inspired & gave the confidence to thousands more ladies to sing their way into our hearts to this very day. A brand new collection of some of the most enduring country hits sung by women is now available on a terrific new compilation of country, entitled The First Ladies of Country. You’ll find classics like ‘Crazy’, the Willie Nelson track made famous by the original spice girl, Patsy Cline, & of course the one & only Dolly Parton is represented here with ‘Jolene’ which Dolly, from her base in Nashville, once told me was inspired by meeting a young red-headed fan of hers. You’ll also hear Tammy Wynette, Lynn Anderson & other gals whose own lives became a bit of a soap opera & added even more of an identity to their massive selling hits. Crystal Gayle, who has the longest hair of anyone I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing, is part of this collection with ‘Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue’,& her sister, Loretta Lynn, who I also had the opportunity to talk to, tells her own true story of ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’. The music of modern day country is featured on this album too from the likes of Carrie Underwood, & Miranda Lambert to Kelly Clarkson & First Aid Kit. Gee, all this talk of country music is gonna make me change into some cowboy boots, kick back & turn the music up.

WINDOWS10 LATER THIS YEAR, THE MUCH-HERALDED WINDOWS 10 WILL BE RELEASED
Amongst its features will be the return of the start button, with some integration of the tiles or metro interface seen on Windows 8, but to a lesser extent. Internet Explorer will also be replaced by an all new browser, yet to be officially named. Microsoft will be offering a free-of-charge upgrade to Windows 7 and 8 users and an amnesty to users of non-genuine Windows too for the first year; however, after the first year, it is highly likely that Microsoft will charge annually for the operating system, deviating completely from their previous business model of charging once for the operating system and then providing free-of-charge updates for the product during its life cycle. If you are looking to purchase a new machine but don’t fancy the prospect of having to pay annually for the software, we still have a healthy selection of both Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops and desktops.
NEW SCAMS
We have been alerted of some new scams which we would like to share with you. 1: The usual - ‘this is Microsoft calling and you have a problem with your machine, please can we connect to it and show you….’ has developed. We have heard of a customer who fell victim to this and started to become suspicious, so asked the scammers to stop, at which point they deleted all the user’s data on his PC. Just remember, Microsoft would not telephone you. 2: Email scam - this has been reported from both AOL and BT/Yahoo email customers, & indicates that their emails are not secure. The user receives an expected email with an invoice attached from a known tradesperson - let’s say their plumber. Shortly after, the user receives another email from supposedly the plumber, saying something like ‘please ignore the previous mail, use this one’. On inspection, the attachment is present, but the banking details on the invoice have been changed to the scammers’ account.The only way this could have happened is if the scammer is actually monitoring & using the user’s email account. If you are concerned this is happening to you, our advice is to change your email password two or three times in a week. In both cases, Action Fraud should have been informed. Should you like further information on these issues, or discuss your own security please do not hesitate to contact us or Action Fraud. Action Fraud can be contacted on 0300 123 2040 or www.actionfraud.police.uk

We always reckon that the long wait for a bonny new baby is well worthwhile. And if, when it arrives,it is cute and appealing, the joy is unbounded. That was the case with Fiat’s new 500, the re-born iconic babycar, which in its first year reached sales numbers of 222,000 and has just gone on and on and on, hitting 44,005 in the UK alone last year. Global sales now stand at 1.5m and the UK total is 220,000. So, what’s its appeal? Plenty, from style to value for money. The figure for the bargain-buy that enchants is guaranteed to grow even more when Fiat stretches its frontiers farther abroad In celebration of its re-birth, 50 years on from designer Dante Giacosa’s original 50s classic 500, the Italian company threw parties around the world for owners from Japan, Europe and South Africa. I joined in with a loaned pearly white model, encircled about its waistline with the colours of the Italian flag - and it was as at home in Milan’s stop-start streets as it was at 90-plus mph on the motorways and the tight, twisty lanes around Lake Como to Bellagio and the superb Hotel Grand Villa Serbelloni.
And I covered the same ground again the other week in the latest Lounge offering, a re-run of absolute pleassure on the go. My 1.2-litre Lounge model, an £11,315 funky little charmer, nestled cosily alongside the Ferraris and Porsches in the Serbelloni’s lakeside car park with as much eye-catching allure as any of the supercars. Okay, because of its invasive road noise on the motorways, it may not be the transport you would choose to drive top to bottom across Europe, despite its generous mpg, but it sure is just the car you’d like to have when you were at journey’s end. Regular readers will note I have gone from the sublime in the shape of the Maybach to the meticulous. Total opposites they may be, but for punching their weight in their specific categories, they cannot be beaten. Safety in all models of the
500 is superb - all have front, side, curtain and knee airbags which helped it to a re-assuring five-star top rating in the Euro NCAP crash tests. Its retro appeal is enhanced by 14 colour choices, four engine types, three metallic, eight pastel and a selection of seven alloy wheel patterns. Sticker kits, hubcaps and vivid badges mean you can customise the car to your liking, however bizarre your fancy. The four-seater cockpit is legroomier than you would imagine, looking at its diminutive 3.5-metre length from the outside, and the clever clogs Fiat designers have been astute in maximising its minimism. After I’d enjoyed the test car, I was so impressed I bought one, then another which I am currently running in company of, it seems, hundreds of others around Surrey.. And joy of joys to penny pinchers like me, the experts forecast that, after three years, I will get back at least half of what I paid for it. What more could you ask? Specification: Lounge three door 1.2-litre. BHP 69. Top speed 99mph. 0-62 in 12.9s. Fuel 58mpg. Price £11,315.

Wednesday 20 th May 2015 JUDITH SPENCER _ Marimba A marimba? A marimba is a percussion instrument which is essentially a set of wooden bars struck with mallets to produce sounds of remarkable resonance. It will be more familiar to you than expected, as it has featured with Herb Albert, the Rolling Stones, Elton John and in the opening sequences of Mamma Mia. Judith Spencer is a graduate of the Royal College of Music of international repute and believes that the versatility of the marimba is endless and speaks to all people where words alone will not penetrate. Join us to enjoy a very uplifting experience. Our concerts are free and include a light lunch. All you need for a perfect mid-week break with a friend.
