to May
Welcome to our busy May issue! I hope you enjoyed a relaxing Easter break? Mine was filled with family meals, a spot of gardening and some lovely long walks with the dog, oh and a little bit of chocolate too! Just about perfect I’d say! We have lots to tell you about this month. I enjoyed an over-night stay at the spectacular Beaverbrook Hotel a few weeks ago. This is a stunning local venue, with quite an amazing past! It was an awesome treat and I hope you enjoy reading about my visit. As well as this, we have a fab Competition with 5 pairs of tickets up for grabs! You and a guest could be heading to The Hampton Court Flower show, this is a truly lovely day out and really worth giving it a go! Good Luck to all who enter. Also, news on an event being held at the lovely Claremont Gardens, to mark the anniversary of the 200th Birthday of Queen Victoria! I have many fond memories of attending some fabulous summer events here, it promises to be a great night and well worth considering, details can be found on page 6. Finally, we are delighted to announce that, having been nominated, we have recently won the Corporate Live Wire, National Award for Innovation & Excellence! Wow! How wonderful! I think this means we are innovative in an excellent sort of way! Whatever it means, we are delighted to take that! Wishing you all a fabulous May,

Leatherhead to provide new home for Surrey Police Headquarters Surrey Police have purchased the former Electrical Research Association and Cobham Industries site on Cleeve Road Leatherhead where they will create a new HQ and operational hub. The new site will bring together teams from the current Guildford HQ, Woking Police Station, Reigate Police Station, the Roads Policing Team and Tactical Firearms Unit. The move is part of an estates project designed to deliver long-term savings for the Police and new efficient ways of working. Councillor Vivienne Michael, Leader of Mole Valley District Council, said “We are delighted to hear that the new Surrey Police HQ and operational hub is to be based in Leatherhead. The new purpose
10 Looklocal Magazine - May 2019
built headquarters will be designed to enable Surrey Police to better meet the challenges of modern policing so this is very good news for Leatherhead, for Mole Valley and for Surrey as a whole.” Councillor Simon Edge, Cabinet Member for Prosperity, added “The planned move by Surrey Police is great news for Leatherhead and complements what we are aiming to achieve with Transform Leatherhead. With a considerable number of staff moving into the new HQ it will help increase footfall in the town and bring investment to the area. The choice of Leatherhead was based on its key central location within the County and good transport links, assets of Leatherhead we are keen to highlight.”

​a sparagus, lemon & pecorino pasta ingredients 50g linguine 230g pack Waitrose British Asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3cm pieces ½ lemon, zest and juice 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 garlic clove, peeled and bashed 30g finely grated pecorino romano Handful chopped flat leaf parsley (Serves 2)
method 1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the linguine, cook for 7 minutes, then add the asparagus and simmer for 2 more minutes. Scoop out a large cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta and asparagus. Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon zest, juice and oil with the bashed garlic clove in a small bowl. 2. Tip the drained pasta and asparagus back into the pan with the pecorino, parsley, lemon-oil mixture and a good glug of the cooking water. Toss together, discard the garlic, and season. Serve immediately.
cooking tip Adding a splash of the warm cooking water helps to emulsify the cheese, lemon and oil, creating a silky sauce for the pasta.

HAMPTON COURT PALACE GARDEN FESTIVAL
©RHS / Anca Panait
From 1st to 7th July, The Royal Horticultural Society’s (RHS) largest flower festival will return to the grounds of Hampton Court Palace. With an abundance of beautiful gardens and plants on display, the festival will bring together thoughtprovoking designs to highlight the power of plants alongside plenty of inspiration for visitors to grow a garden they love. A new Global Impact Gardens category will address challenges we face in today’s world through plants and design, whether they are social, economic or environmental issues, with this year welcoming two first time designers. The Forest Will See You Now by Michelle Brandon will highlight the benefits of trees, recreating a forest contained in an oversized packet of pills as it champions nature as a medicine in the 21st century. Also demonstrating how nature is imperative to happiness in a digital age, Seonaid Royall’s Believe in Tomorrow will reconnect children with nature. Other gardens will embrace sustainability. Designer Tony Woods and Thames Water will highlight the need to take care of our water resource. The Thames
Water Flourishing Future Garden will demonstrate how gardeners can encourage biodiversity, reduce water use and prevent flooding. Last year’s Best in Show designer Matthew Childs will also highlight the environmental benefits of getting a Smart Meter with Smart Energy GB. The RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival will run from 1 – 7 July. The exclusive Preview Evening* held on Monday 1 July is the perfect opportunity for those wanting to be one of the first to experience this year’s gardens. For further information or to buy tickets, please visit the RHS website at www.rhs.org.uk/hamptoncourt

Surrey Freemasons support
NEW UROLOGY CENTRE at Royal Surrey County Hospital On Tuesday 5 March 2019 HRH the Duke of Kent was at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford to open the Stokes Centre for Urology. This new NHS centre of excellence was jointly funded by the Prostate Project and Royal Surrey County Hospital following 10 years of fundraising. Colin Stokes launched the Prostate Project in 1998 to raise £250,000 for a scanner but went on to raise over £8m. In recognition of the charity’s vital role the centre has been named after its founder. While the building with patient access at its core, the Duke also saw how the building is the culmination of the most significant investments in urological services in the UK for over a decade, it is the largest centre for
brachytherapy in europe, and third in the world. The Prostate Project raised £2.85m of the £5.9m needed to build the new centre. In the foyer of the centre there is a plaque listing the Prostate Project’s Hall of Fame recognising all donors who have contributed £3,000 or more and buy-a-brick donors are recognised in reception. During the visit, The Duke, met several Surrey Freemasons who supported the Prostate Project by contributing over £70,000. Those present included the Deputy Head of Surrey Freemasonry Richard J Wileman supported by Vic Simmon (also an Ambassador and Trustee) and Peter N Wood of Astolat Lodge.

BEAVERBROOK Hotel and Spa
Once the home of press baron & politician Max Aitken, aka Lord Beaverbrook, this beautiful hotel sits in the foothills of Box Hill, between Leatherhead and Dorking. Set in 400 acres of Surrey countryside, it’s the perfect setting for this local gem. The recently refurbished country house still has a wonderful feel of belonging to someone special. Not surprising as it boasts an impressive history, which also includes many awe-inspiring guests, from times gone by. As you pass from one reception room to another, you will spot a selection of fascinating wall art including a framed poem, written especially for Lord Beaverbrook, by non-other than Rudyard Kipling himself! The glassdomed lobby is home to a Grand Piano and a stunning Gerhard Ritcher tapestry which hangs on the wall. Photographs from WW1 & WW2, depicting scenes from when Lord Beaverbrook was a cabinet minister,
also make for interesting viewing. The grand historic family home has been so tastefully transformed and so beautifully designed by Susie Atkinson. It’s very in keeping with the era, yet weirdly up to date as well: How did she do that? Open fires & comfy sofas with views over the gardens and beyond to the beautiful North Downs. The library houses leather bound books galore, with walls of original wooden paneling. The first UK home cinema is still in place where many war-time planning meetings were held, this is now available for hotel guests to watch a selection of films from the comfort of deep red sofas. You really can imagine Sir Winston Churchill standing by a window watching the night sky for German planes en route to London. He apparently spent much of the war here with his friend and fellow cabinet minister Lord Beaverbrook. Other celebrity guests included Charlie Chaplin, HG Wells, W. Somerset Maugham,
Ian Fleming, Wallis Simpson, Elizabeth Taylor, Joe & Rose Kennedy and Dame Rebecca West. We were certainly in good company then! On our arrival, we were given a warm welcome, our car was parked for us and our cases discreetly delivered to the Dame Rebecca West Room! A stunning and large room with a roll top bath in one corner. The hotel offers 18 rooms, which are individually styled and named after the former prestigious guests as mentioned above. One of these being ‘The Dowager Suit’, formerly Lady Beaverbrook’s room, it has many antiques and even a Louise Bourgeoise artwork. The large roll top bath is perfectly positioned by a window for views over the countryside, out towards Dorking. This is no ordinary hotel. All the bedrooms have luxurious bathrooms, Apple TV, a Coffee Machine, a mini fridge, stocked with complimentary soft drinks and a few tempting snacks, and a bottle of Sipsmith Sloe Gin too! The Garden House and Garden Cottage offer a further 11 rooms; these are Victorian in style and there is also a cookery school in this building! And 6 more rooms are due to open in early 2020, located in the Coach House. At about 7.30 pm we started our evening at ‘The Parrot Bar’ a stunning room with an amazingly well stocked
20 Looklocal Magazine - May 2019
art deco bar; we both enjoyed a ‘Spitfire Collins’ a mix of Vodka, peach and elderflower with ginger and lemongrass undertones! This was served with shelled pistachio nuts & olives. A delicious spring aperitif. The hotel’s main restaurant is not quite what you might expect; it is in fact, a Japanese Grill. Under the watchful eye of Ex Nobu head chef Maruyama Taiji the menu is authentic with a modern twist. We started our meal with a Garden Salad which would pass as a work of art in itself, to accompany this, Lobster Tempura with Wasabi Mayo and Jalapino Shiso Dressing. Totally amazing is all I can say. Next up, a shared plate of Chef Selection, melt in the mouth, Sashimi, beautifully tender and perfectly light. For our main courses I chose Corn Fed Chicken with Teriyaki sauce & sliced truffle and my guest opted for Koji Monkfish, with Yozu Soy, sautéed mushrooms, and porcini powder. To accompany these, Broccoli with Kimchi Mayo and steamed rice. A feast we will not forget in a very long time. Each dish was perfectly prepared and the fusion of flavours sent our taste buds into over drive. We enjoyed a bottle of chilled Chablis with our meal, which went beautifully with the Oriental cuisine. There is an amazing wine selection to choose from, which would please even the most demanding connoisseur I’m
sure. To finish our meal a ‘Tasting Plate to Share’ which included small portions of Hibiscus Chocolate Fondant with Raspberry Sorbet, Matcha Tiramisu, Lemon Curd Scorched Meringue, and a Caramelised Banana Cake with Coffee and Dulce de Leche Ice Cream. If you like good food, you have my word, you will not be disappointed. This was an exceptionally good meal. We slept very soundly in our four poster bed with it’s super soft white sheets. However, our treat was not over yet! We woke the next morning looking forward to the Hotel Spa experience… The Spa is in a separate building just next to the Hotel; The Coach House, so named because it used to be just that… Striking glass design by Brian Clarke runs through the whole building, it’s bold for sure, but works very well. The Spa has a selection of sumptuous treatment rooms, a large steam/ice room and relaxation area, a Boutique and Apothecary, a delightful Deli Restaurant where food is served between mid-day and 5pm, a stunning indoor swimming pool and a large heated outdoor pool too, which was just about to be opened for the first time when we visited. The top floor of the Spa is devoted to a state of the art gym, where personal trainers are available if required. The large changing rooms were ‘top notch’
each locker housed a big fluffy white robe and flip flops, the large shower cubicles would match any top hotel room with clean white floor towels placed outside each shower. There were plenty of big mirrors and hair-dryers available and all immaculately clean. My treatments certainly lived up to the venue as well. To start, a 90 minute, full body Biodynamic Bodywork Massage. Which apparently embraces a full range of therapeutic methods, an effective treatment for relief of many physical, neural and psychological conditions. It blends Western Science with Eastern philosophy and was, by far, the best massage I have ever had. To follow I was treated to a ‘Therapi Honey Facial’. This treatment uses the regenerative and healing properties of honey and propolis products from Therapi, to cleanse, massage, treat fine lines and stimulate collagen. It left my skin feeling radiant and deeply nourished. A wonderful facial, and super relaxing too! Like the hotel, this is no ordinary Spa! We had the most amazing stay, the staff we met were all charming and looked after us so very well. Thank you all, for making our stay so special. We will certainly not forget the time we stayed in the house of Max. Is it any wonder this hotel was named as ‘The best Hotel in the UK’ by The Times? www.beaverbrook.co.uk | 01372 569 799

Cloud Watching By Selina Botham
Award winning local garden designer Selina Botham has been discovering the joys of cloud watching. Since the sad loss of our willow tree, one of the unexpected benefits has been that we can now see more of the sky in all its glory. Our back garden faces northwest and so we get some fabulous evening skies. And it’s not only the sun sets and the effects on the clouds all around, some nights there are bands of dark and light across the sky and silhouettes of strong clouds or bands of light and dark within the Skyscape. Other nights the stars are bright and equally beautiful. During the day I’m noticing the clouds too and concentrating on some cloud watching. The size, texture and movement of clouds is fascinating and of course if you are trying to be mindful and enjoy the moment, watching clouds is a great way to connect with nature and stop and relax during a busy and stressful day (or any day for that matter). All this is leading me to think of new ideas for garden designs. I’ve installed an outdoor bath (all properly plumbed in with hot water) so I can lie in the bath and look up through cherry blossom to the sky and down the path to far views of the trees on telegraph hill and the sky above.
22 Looklocal Magazine - May 2019
I’d also like to use a frame through which to view the sky and I’d like to design a roof with a perfect hole within to provide a fixed frame to the sky. I’ve also got some ideas to try for a periscope feature so you can easily get a skyward view as for most of us lying down during the day is not really feasible. I’m fascinated by the Japanese idea of Cherry Blossom viewing: what a wonderful idea to grab a picnic rug and lie down and admire the blossom. It shouldn’t just be for one week though, so if it doesn’t happen to be the right time of year for cherry blossom, you could try cloud watching instead. Perhaps a portable empty picture frame would work as a way of framing a view and capturing the movement of the clouds which is so mesmerising. Instead of chucking that old picture frame I think I’ll take the glass out and give it a try. Now it’s just a case of taking the time to stop and stare.

Heads, Shoulders, Hands ... & Computers? Help with taking care of yourself while you use your computer
Have you ever considered just how much time you spend working on your computer? Whether it be sitting at a desk or having a notebook on your lap in front of the TV, the average person spends hours a day in front of their computer and at some point it can take a physical toll on the body. These days repetitive strain injuries (RSI) are not uncommon and they can have a lifelong impact. Which is why it is important to have yourself set up in the best way to avoid it. The first consideration you should make is the eye level of your screen. Your monitor or notebook should be positioned, so your eye level lines up with the top of the display, at arm’s length away from your body. This way your neck can be relaxed, not needing to strain or have your shoulders hunch over. In stock we have a variety of height adjustable monitors, these are really easy to adjust the height and even tilt the monitor and are especially great if the computer is shared, that way whoever is using the machine can adjust it for themselves. Using a notebook at eye level can be a little trickier, but it is equally important. There is a preference these days to use notebooks on our laps or lying down and if you stop and look at yourself you may find you are hunched over trying to look at the screen. Having a notebook stand will lift your machine up and allow you to sit with a straighter back. Avoiding strain on the shoulders, neck and upper back, all round so much better for you and your computer too as this will give the machine better airflow and prevent overheating. Typing and mouse movement is a very common cause of RSI and there are some easy steps that can help you combat RSI. A mouse mat with a wrist support can aid in resting your wrist at a better angle or there are a variety of more ergonomically designed mice for less strain on the hand. This is the same for keyboards, adding a palm rest or purchasing a keyboard with one can make a massive difference for your wrists and support them better while you type. Finally though none of us want to hear it, sometimes the best way to take care of yourself is to take a break from the screen, with so many hours spent staring at it you are straining your eyes and your body. Just taking five to ten minutes away from the screen, stretching your body or going for a short walk can make a big difference to your overall wellbeing.

Range Rover Evoque CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
The brand new Range Rover Evoque, a vastly improved version of the original best seller, looks all geared up to be a massive money-earner, a smash-hit, for the parent company bidding to reign supreme in the hectic and highly competitive SUV market. The original version, which has sold 700,000 since its inception in 2011, has had a steady and beneficial run - but with a forecast loss, the first annual setback for a decade for Jaguar Land Rover overall, the updated, uprated newcomer Evoque is a rescue mission certain, I believe, to succeed and pile up the quids. The entry level start price is around £31,600. That does not have an automatic gearbox and is front wheel drive only. So it is worth adding a few bob to benefit from the snazzier, better equipped models. Astute design boss Gerry McGovern and his extremely worthy and talented sidekicks have fashioned a surefire winner which embraces all the attractive elements of style, image, composure and performance without reaching mind-boggling, wallet-emptying setbacks. He says:”What we believed our customers wanted was even more luxury, more comfort and even more connectivity. And that is what we have worked hard on. I believe we have succeeded.” The widespread feeling in the motoring business is that the new Evoque is one of the...if not THE ...most important developments in the history of Jaguar Land Rover, and a supremely fitting replacement for the original version at a crucial time of financial challenge. So what does it offer? For a start: six engines, a hat trick of diesels, 148 bhp, 178 bhp and 237 bhp, and three petrol versions, 197bhp, 247bhp and 296 bhp, stacked
28 Looklocal Magazine - May 2019
behind a revitalised comfort zone of a cabin abounding with opulent coverage of leather and chrome to comfort both driver and passengers as they trigger and gawp at a wonderful touchscreen infotainment set-up. Despite the efforts of a nine-speed gearbox, and its automatic transmission assistance, however heavily rightfooted you might be, the quietness of the car on the move, tackling motorways or otherwise, is a rewarding joy. Overall the car is an example of peace and quiet. And, short of the rare challenge of a snow covered pyramid, you may rely on its capability to cope with whatever bumpy, slidey, skiddy, problems.... the costly downfalls of many of its rivals... that may secrete themselves in its path. Rural dwellers, regulars over rough terrain, or townies, suffering pothole threats, may sit back and relax in equal measure confident that their capable transport will make plush and cushioned ease of any issue that would otherwise result in a certain visit to the repair shop. There is even a backward facing camera, a real neat trick, set on the roof and feeding an almost cinemascopic bright and clear windscreen video display before your very eyes so you may see where you are heading in reverse without straining your back to look over your shoulder. And there’s plenty more. I am confident that Jaguar Land Rover’s reborn excellent Evoque will...and do forgive the play on words....evoke a stirring of satisfaction among those who put their trust... and their hard-earned...into having one standing proudly on their drive.

Princess Alice Hospice extends helping hand for bereaved people, thanks to Surrey Freemasons
People dealing with loss and grief will be able to access new bereavement services across Surrey, thanks to a generous grant from Surrey Freemasons. Following bereavement, even with support from family and friends, people often feel lonely with no one to talk to. Until now the Hospice’s 1:1 and group bereavement support has been available only to the loved ones of people cared for by the Hospice. It has become apparent the need is greater than that; most people do not need 1:1 support, they just need someone to talk to. That is why the Hospice is nurturing and growing a Community Bereavement Support service open to everyone. This service will be developed in collaboration with the people using it and delivered across the Hospice’s 600sq mile care area, at a range of times and locations, by trained and supported volunteers. Princess Alice Hospice will work in partnership with local community groups to create a sustainable network of community bereavement support providers, with the ambition that any bereaved person in the care area will be able to access the social support they need. The £20,000 grant to Princess Alice Hospice from Surrey Freemasons comes through the Masonic
Charitable Foundation (MCF), and Hospice UK collaboration, which is funded by Freemasons, their families and friends from across England and Wales. Rosie Noble, Princess Alice Hospice Families’ and Carers’ Lead, said: “We’re very grateful to Surrey Freemasons for their generous grant, which will enable us to open up more bereavement opportunities across our area to include people whose loved ones were not under our care.” Ian Chandler the Head of Surrey Freemasons said: “I’m very pleased we’ve been able to assist Princess Alice Hospice. They do an outstanding job helping people with terminal or life limiting conditions, as well as supporting their families through very difficult times”. £300,000 is being provided to individual hospices across England and Wales via Hospice UK, the national charity for hospice care. MCF is partnering with Hospice UK to develop and extend bereavement support services in hospices. Last year, the partnership funded nine grants and this year this has risen to 17. Contributions from Freemasons to hospices have exceeded £13 million in England and Wales since 1984 and are continuing to increase at a rate of £600,000 a year.

Music with a Heart (and Soul!)
Surrey Music’s two impressive community choirs sang their hearts out in Walton on Saturday 30th March in a truly memorable concert to raise funds for Elmbridge Rentstart. As long-established choirs of the Borough, Elmbridge Choir and Elmbridge Ladies Choir had been invited by Cllr Shweta Kapadia to support her Mayoral charity, and with a winning combination of joyous music, fun and laughter together with sincere and heartfelt emotion, the concert raised a fantastic £2597.49 for the charity. “Music with a Heart” took place at Cornerstone the Church in the presence of several dignitaries and special guests including The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Elmbridge, The High Sheriff of Surrey, The Mayor of Spelthorne, and Michael Aspel OBE. With a delightful programme of popular songs, Elmbridge Ladies choir set the tone for the evening with a lively medley of 60s hits, followed by rather more contemporary songs from Christina Perri and Coldplay amongst others, notably a quite superb a capella version of Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel”. The choir enchanted the audience of almost 300 with a very accomplished and polished performance under the direction of Christine Parker, who introduced each song with gentle humour and charm.
32 Looklocal Magazine - May 2019
After the interval it was the turn of Elmbridge Choir, led by the irrepressible Founder and CEO of Surrey Music, Cliff van Tonder. The choir sang its way through showstoppers and anthems from Andrew Lloyd Webber, Les Miserables and The Greatest Showman, as well as medleys of music by Judy Garland and Johnny Cash. The choir’s set was pure entertainment, with Cliff distributing red roses to ladies in the audience, and the choir’s Deputy Musical Director, Anita Auch, making a very sassy and sizzling entrance in full 1920s flapper costume to lead the choir in ‘‘All That Jazz’’ from the musical “Chicago”. Despite the fun and frivolity, the underlying reason for the concert was not forgotten. Tracey Blandford, Elmbridge Rentstart’s Community Fundraising Officer, delivered an informative and moving speech about the important work of the charity and how they are succeeding in breaking the cycle of homelessness in the Borough of Elmbridge. Surrey Music’s next choral outing will be a performance at the same venue on Saturday 29th June, when the two choirs will celebrate a decade of Elmbridge Ladies Choir with a special anniversary concert - “Now We Are Ten!” Tickets will be available soon. For more details of Surrey Music visit www.surreymusic.org. To find out more about the work of Elmbridge Rentstart visit www.elmbridgerentstart.org.uk.
POEM CORNER
T R A I N R I G H T FOR Y O U PERSONALISED TRAINING
How Time Flies!?? Do you, like me, wonder why Time so often is in short supply? And do you find, with some surprise, The older you are, the faster it flies? So there’s always a race against the clock To get everything done before you flop Into a chair, comfy and deep, Switch on the tele, and fall asleep! The shape of our lives is governed, of course, By the use we make of this special resource. Time can drag waiting for a bus or train Which is suddenly cancelled, or late again. Or when ‘hanging on’ at the end of a line Listening to Vivaldi for the umpteenth time! But there are also moments to always treasure “Oh to stop the clock”, so they last for ever! We can dwell on times past and reminisce On things well done, or chances missed, Or look ahead and make fantastic plans Then circumstances change – so it’s out of our hands. For some, time is a burden, no end in sight, A dark, empty tunnel, with no sign of light. For others, it’s a furious, frenetic race, A time of stress, at a dangerous pace. If only, somehow, a way could be found To slow down this relentless merry-go-round? As you flop in that chair, so comfy and deep, Close your eyes, but don’t fall asleep. Switch off the mobile, clear your mind, Relax, lie back, and try to find, Amidst the noise of a bustling home, A moment of stillness for you alone, A deep well of calm, to show you how To value your time in the here and now.
