Welcome to our May issue of Look Local! And what a lovely time of year it is too! The grass is growing like crazy in my back garden the dandelions are sprouting and the leaves on the trees have joined us for the warmer months. Although saying that, we’ve had sun shine, rain and hail stones all in one day this week so who knows what the British summer will bring this year? In our area this month there is, as always lots going on; we have news from Weybridge Ladies Rowing Club, also Information from Elmbridge Choir and lots of other bits and bobs too … I hope you enjoy thumbing our pages. On a personal note, it’s been a difficult few months for me. I’ve been supporting my lovely mum through her final weeks of life. She sadly passed away at the end of April. I was so lucky to have had such a caring and supportive lady in my life for so long, she was 90 when she died and totally amazing for her age. She helped me so much over the years, in many ways, and when I started Look Local she so willingly looked after my children as I spent many evenings and weekends working. I therefore think it only fair and totally appropriate to dedicate this issue of Look Local to her. Thank you Mum you were the best xox (also, if you’ve had trouble getting hold of me this is why, normal service will now resume thank you for your patience. ) Wishing you all a good month, see you next time…

may car review
Skoda Superb
Ted Macauley test drives the Skoda Superb TDI and lets us know what it has to offer....
G
ood looking, stylish and elegant. I know, modest as I am, I could be describing myself - but, no, I am doubling up on a fab hotel and a desirable car that joined forces to make Majorca memorable. They were my combined joy when, along with Trophy Wife, I revelled and relaxed on a comfy stay at the Grand Hotel Son Net snuggled in the Tramuntana Mountains, 25 minutes drive from bustling Palma. The tranquil terrace is a front row on nature. The only peace and quiet being disturbed by an amusingly braying donkey sheltering from the blazing sun in the hotel’s own vineyard – and the squawks of an encircling golden eagle seeking mid-air prey. It is a haven. Serene. And it would be intrusive to be a to-and-froer in a bold and noisy car… like the squat and trumpeting guest Ferrari that whizzed in and out in a frenzy of ear-splitting nuisance. In total contrast my borrowed Skoda Superb was just that…superb. A whispering winner, as hush-hush as can be for such a massive motor, a veritable giant saloon with enough cabin space for a squad of Coldstream Guardsmen. The Superb is Skoda’s value-for-money range topper, the third generation. And each level has seen an improvement with its design engineers fashioning an even better, bigger car with more and more panache each time as an escape from its earlier life reputation as a wretched wreck not to be seen. Not any more. No, sir. The latest Superb,a prize winner worldwide,is one whole load of car for the outlay.An
upmarket pleasure on every count…comfort, ability, economy, nimbleness and sheer enjoyment to drive. And the boot…wow….even TW’s vast, as-usual holiday wardrobe was easily swallowed up without the slightest chance of an unwelcome crease risk. I put it through a sequence of rigorous tests in Majorca where straight flat-outish roads give away to sharp bends with cyclists suddenly wobbling into view requiring heavy braking and swerving,and hills and drops, over scarily bumpy and holed lanes, and my elegantly silvercoloured treat coped without the slightest murmur, threat or protest. I suspect it would soak up with ease an arduous trek,say, between London and Penzance. My Balearic demands on it were short-distanced in comparison. If I am beginning to sound like a, eager fan, I don’t mind. Because I am. I love value for my money and this new, updated, uprated, upmarket contender on the saloon front, slimmed down by 75kg from its predecessor, is a winner with, I would guarantee, plenty more silverware to be awarded. While I remember: I had another quaint and welcome surprise - not that I needed the service on my sunny stopover – but I found umbrellas stowed in each of the front doors. I thought only Rolls Royce did that. I wonder what next from the masterminds behind the design dreams… in the car rightly dubbed Superb.. Specification: Model: TD1 150SE. BHP148. MPG 68.9. Speed 135mph. 0-60 in 8.9seconds. Price £22.555.

ASK BRUCE:
CUTTING CLAWS Look Local reader Barbara Turner asks how do I cut my dog’s black nails? There is a pink area underneath each nail with nerves and a blood vessel, called the quick. This means it’s living, and if cut, will bleed and hurt. The quick is easy to see on dogs with white or clear claws, but not on dogs with dark or black claws. For this reason, it is often safer to get an experienced professional to cut a dog’s nails, but you can do this yourself. There are special nail clippers available that come with a built-in light. The light shines through the dog’s claw and exposes the quick so you can see as you cut. Some doggy nail clippers also come with a guard which prevents you cutting too short and close to the quick. You can also look at the underside of the claw for the hollow part (it looks a bit like a canoe) which should be around the middle of the nail. This hollow part is the dead section of the nail and therefore fine to cut. However, the best rule of thumb (excuse the pun!) when cutting your dog’s nails is little and often. That way, you can be sure it will be safe, and you won’t catch or cut the quick. Alternatively, at Bruce’s we do offer a nail clipping service to our customers, or you can get it done by a vet or groomer. Bruce Casalis is director & founder of Bruce’s Doggy Day Care, a multi-award winning business in Weybridge.

gardening with auntie planty
garden detective...
Sometimes diagnosing a plant problem is more like being Sherlock Holmes than Mrs Know-it-all. As the world around us changes, so do the unwelcome visitors in the garden. This year was no exception!
O
We can divide garden pests into two groups – the biters and chewers and the piercers and suckers. The first includes slugs, snails, caterpillars and vine weevil etc; the piercers and suckers are the aphids and their ilk. As each pest will leave it own unique set of teeth marks, normally it’s possible to identify who’s done what quite quickly. In the past few years we have seen the arrival of some new garden bad boys – the viburnum beetle, the rosemary beetle and the chestnut leaf miner to name a few. All three of these can, and will, cause devastating damage to plants. I’m not sure where the first two came from, but the chestnut leaf miner arrived in Wimbledon in 2002, travelling on the side of a lorry from Macedonia (you couldn’t make this up!). Since then, the moth has had
a complete predator-free hand, and each year we see the awful effects of it all around the Borough, with sad brown crinkly leaves by July. The area of influence increases annually, and the pest is now heading north and west. As yet, there is no ‘cure’. A tree’s ability to photosynthesize is reduced, so the whole system is weakened - in other words, the pest won’t kill a tree, but something else will knock it out. Well, there appears to be another new kid on the block, and I am playing garden detective to try and give it a name. If you have Erysimum linifolium ‘Bowles’ Mauve’ (everlasting wallflower) in your garden, you might have seen small round holes appearing in its foliage. Last year was the first time that I had seen this damage. The everlasting wallflower belongs to the cabbage family, so my route to finding the culprit took me to the brassica rogues gallery, as plant pests tend to maraud in family groups.
Roll of drums please... here I found a bad boy that fitted the evidence - the flea beetle. Makes small rounded holes on leaves (tick), active April to May, and August (tick), jumps off leaves when disturbed, that explains why they rarely stick around for an identity parade. Flea beetles spent the winter in leaf litter, so clearing away dead leaves at the base of all vulnerable plants in the cabbage family will help to break its life cycle. Otherwise, careful use of some contact pesticide sprays could help (if you can actually find the beetles in the first place!). Always read and follow the label instructions carefully.

Elmbridge Trust for older people
Since the Elmbridge Trust for Older People (Registered charity:1101477) opened 15 years ago, many donations and bequests to the Trust have supported discretionary services for older people across Elmbridge.
T
he seven Elmbridge Borough Council’s Centres for the Community and the Relief Carers Scheme - which supports people with memory loss and their Carers- have benefited hugely from donated monies. Most recently, a refurbishment programme took place at the Weybridge Centre for the Community which involved enhancing the community café area and a much- needed toilet refurbishment. A donation of £2,500 has just been received from the ladies of Esher Tangent Club, towards the purchase of exciting new equipment to alleviate memory loss, planned for a new support group starting up at the Cobham Centre for the Community. The equipment will also be used across 3 more of our Centres. There are always opportunities to enhance Centres for the Community buildings, improve their facilities,

and develop activities for the users. Donations are exclusively devoted to improve the quality of life for older people living in the Borough. The three trustees of the Charity; Councillor Tannia Shipley and former Councillors John Sheldon and David Tipping are responsible for the stewardship and disbursement of the donated monies. They are all familiar with the Council’s services and can act independently. If you would like to donate to the Trust you can contact the Trustees, either by email at etfop@elmbridge.gov.uk, or write to 69 Esher Road, Hersham Surrey, KT12 4LW.

Inspiration!
Reporting back... I promised to tell on myself this month after three months of doing ‘Just One Thing’. So, how did I get on? I succeeded. And I failed.
O
ne of my commitments, to throw one thing away each day and go through a drawer or box every week, was like tasting a new drug – it just made me hungry to have a huge clear-out. That was a revelation: previously I’d seen clearing up as something that just needed to be done, and therefore was too easy to put off in favour of something I wanted to do more. Suddenly, clearing up became the thing I most wanted to do! I took books and clothes to charity shops. I threw things away. And I listened to the audiobook of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, by Marie Kondo. This book blew my mind and I was so excited by the possibilities it promised. It encourages ruthless letting go, with gratitude. It teaches responsible ownership: everything you keep must be necessary or beautiful, to have a purpose for being kept, and “I’m sure it’s going to be useful one day” apparently doesn’t qualify! What I loved most about the book was its premise that decluttering is really a process of learning about yourself through the choices you make about what to keep. What a fascinating idea. And then, ‘Life’ happened. Going through all my late mother’s possessions before her home can be sold isn’t such a joyous process, but it has to be done. As a coach, I know that growth happens through the combination of changing what we do and deepening our awareness of who we are, the choices we make and our reasons for making them. Sometimes, our clients can learn more from NOT doing their homework than they can from doing it.
32 Looklocal Magazine - February 2017
So I barely started de-cluttering my own home. Did I fail in my original intention? No way! I made a conscious decision to change my priorities, to spend more time with my mother as her health deteriorated. I will never get that time back; I can clear out my home any time. What I learned about myself was that even though I didn’t do more than start de-cluttering my home, I really enjoyed the process of letting things go, of consciously creating a space that reflected who I was and prompted me to think more carefully about what I wanted to have in it. I can’t wait to get back to it. What good intentions have you jettisoned, and what did you discover about yourself in the process? Keep leaning
