From the EDITOR
Welcome to our May magazine! I hope you all enjoyed a lovely Easter break, although that seems like a while ago now, but at least we have two more Bank Holidays to look forward to this month. Let’s hope they are warm and sunny. As always, a busy, busy issue for you this month… We have a competition to win tickets to the Hampton Court Flower Show! This year’s show promises gorgeous gardens & theatrical displays, with heroes of horticulture thrown in for good measure, and an initiative to celebrate renowned and amazing people in horticulture. Discover the evolution of plants and the annual Festival of Roses too. This is a really lovely day out, so why not give it a go? You know what they say... ‘you’ve got to be in it to win it’ ! Coincidentally, we include a little feature about a very talented sculptor who will be exhibiting his work at the show this year. Stunning work, which I hope to see myself. It’s a sure sign that summer is on the way when we receive news of a multitude of local fairs and fêtes. We include a whole selection for you to consider, including Oatlands Village Fair. The sense of community is great locally and these events typify what living here is all about. Friendly family fun. Enjoy. Finally, if you turn to page 27, you will see a notice about the ‘Little book of humour’, full of jokes and funny ditties. It will make you smile, and at only £7.99, this would make a lovely gift. All proceeds will be going to St James’ Church, Weybridge. Wishing you all a great month. Until next time, Kind regards,
Ros

MAKING YOUR MONEY
WORK HARDER. Hi everyone, we are pleased to say that we have moved office from 74 Queens Road, Hersham to 26-28 Molesey Road Hersham (as you turn into Waitrose). If you would like to have a chat about any tax or accounting issues, please pop in. Elaine & Keith Jones run the Weybridge office of TaxAssist Accountants. Each issue, Elaine provides advice on recent change in tax law, or addresses a topical financial issue.
Does auto-enrolment apply to low-paid staff? I employ all part-time staff and as a result, they do not earn very much over the course of a tax year. Could you tell me if I am likely to have anything to do for auto enrolment and the Workplace Pension rules please? Under the Workplace Pensions rules, all employers have “duties” towards all of their staff who are: 1. working or ordinarily working in the UK; and 2. aged between 16 and 74; and who 3. work under a contract of employment (i.e. an “employee”); or 4. have a contract to perform work or services personally and are not undertaking the work as part of their own business “Eligible workers” are aged between 22 and state pension age and earn over £192 a week (2018/19). If you have staff that meet the definition of an eligible worker, they must be put into a workplace pension scheme and you must pay regular pension contributions for them. You don’t need to ask their permission and therefore we refer to them being “automatically enrolled” into the pension scheme. If you have no staff to automatically enrol, there is no need to set up a pension scheme immediately. However, while your staff may not be eligible for automatic enrolment, they can still ask to go into a pension scheme.
Q. A.
If they do this, your responsibilities will depend on how much they earn: 5. If they earn more than £116 a week (2018/19), they are a so-called “non-eligible jobholder”. You must put them into a pension scheme and make contributions to the scheme as well. 6. If they earn less than this, they are an “entitled worker”. You must put them into a scheme but you may choose whether you wish to contribute or not. Failure to comply with the Workplace Pensions rules can lead to a fixed penalty of £400, plus escalating penalties, starting from £50 per day. Will I be better off from April 2018? I get the National Living Wage from my employer. Will I be better off from April 2018? We have assumed you are not a Scottish taxpayer and that you are aged 25 or over. National Living Wage - the National Living Wage is paid to employees aged over 25. Those aged 24 and under receive the National Minimum Wage. The National Living Wage rises every April, and from April 2018, it rises from £7.50 to £7.83 per hour. So you will be earning more per hour. Tax - the personal allowance is increasing from £11,500 to £11,850 from April 2018, so you may save some tax, depending on your level of earnings. National Insurance - from April, the point at which employees pay National Insurance is rising from £8,164 to £8,424. So, similarly to tax, you may save some National Insurance, depending on your level of earnings. Pensions - unless you have opted out, the amount your employer deducts from your pay for your Workplace Pension contribution will be increasing from April 2018 from 1% to 3%. There are different ways of calculating your contributions, but many employers will only apply contributions to anything above the lower earnings threshold which is £6,032 from April 2018.

EARTH, AIR
FIRE & WIND SCULPTOR PAUL RICHARDSON
Sculptor Paul Richardson originally studied graphics near his home in Essex and went on to take a degree in painting in Birmingham. It was after college though that Paul discovered metal. He took a studio in the disused Birds Custard factory where he found steel sheets, bought a little welder and started to build. A passion for steel has characterised his sculptures ever since. Paul has created a significant body of public art for which he was nominated Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Commerce and Industry. Commissions are always site-specific and Paul won a commission for the centre of Waterford, home of Hasbro’s Monopoly factory, to construct a huge corner of a Monopoly board, complete with rolling dice and a five metre long battleship. The natural world has become an important influence, culminating in recent works for the landscape and the garden.They draw on the exquisite patterns of nature, the balance of symmetry and asymmetry, chaos and order. Like many of his sculptures, ‘Flora’ holds contradictions. It seems to capture a fleeting moment between beauty and decay, yet is built of solid steel. On the other hand, just as ‘falling leaves return to the root’, the steel itself,
left untreated, would rust and return to the earth. To hold back decay, the sculptures are protected from air and water with a layer of zinc. Unlike steel, once the zinc is exposed to air and moisture outdoors, only the outer layer is given up and it forms a delicate, chalky grey patina. Examples of Paul’s work can be seen locally, a horse opposite Sandown Racecourse, and Flora at the Hannah Peschar Garden in Ockley, rather beautifully suspended from one of their lovely old trees. Throughout this series for the landscape and garden, Paul has found himself returning to the four elements. Pieces like Flora and the Leaf Sphere with their open floating look have a natural connection with air. Another in the series, ‘Fallen Leaf ’, relates to the earth, a leaf skeleton, edges exquisitely frayed, returning to the soil. His most recent piece, a fire basket, is a latticework cradle of vegetal shapes. Once alight, these shapes come to life as silhouettes against flames inside. So it is perhaps no surprise that Paul is currently developing a water feature, working with the play of light on water trickling over stainless steel leaves which will be seen for the first time ever at RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 3rd July – 8th July 2018

ACHIEVING THE
IMPOSSIBLE Have you ever struggled to do something and finally decided it’s impossible, you’ll never be able to do it?? As I write this over the Easter holidays, I am reminded of one of the many times I’ve told myself that. Some years ago, I was rehearsing Bach’s St John Passion with the St George’s College Choral Society for the College’s Easter recital. My O-Level German was exhumed for the occasion and the challenge of learning to sing an unfamiliar piece of music in an almost, by then, unfamiliar language, was huge. I found one line really hard because it had to be sung extremely quickly and I could scarcely read the words in slow motion, never mind sing them on the correct notes at the right tempo. I had muttered on more than one occasion that it was impossible, I was never going to be able to sing that line. I found myself disliking it, because it’s hard to enjoy something you’ve labelled ‘impossible’. I felt defeated and I felt annoyed with myself for feeling defeated. In desperation, shortly before our last rehearsal, I wrote out the impossible words on a piece of paper and recorded the tune on my phone. I spoke the German words aloud, slowly, until I knew them by heart. I repeated them quickly, over and over again, until they tripped off my tongue. I learned the tune separately, and then I put words to music and rehearsed that line while walking my dog in the woods. I belted it out when driving alone in the car. I sang it in the shower. I repeated it silently in my head in bed. And on the day of the recital, the line flowed effortlessly through me. Now, several years later, I cannot remember any of that beautiful oratorio – apart from the one ‘impossible’ line that is indelibly imprinted on my brain.
Very often, the things we deem impossible are merely challenges we haven’t committed to overcoming However daunting, most challenges can be broken down into smaller steps that, with a bit of creativity, persistence and determination, we can work our way through. But that takes effort and commitment, and we usually want things to be quick and easy. Every time we make the effort to do something we think is impossible, we expand our concept of what we are capable of. And the more we believe we are capable of, the better we feel about ourselves. We’re also more likely to try new things, which makes life so much more enjoyable. What are some things you have wanted to do but almost given up on that, with a bit of effort and determination, could make life even better for you? I bet you can do them!

AUDI A8
CAR REVIEW BY TED MACAULEY
A blessing of my job is the frequency of invitations for enjoyable luxury lifestyle outings and exclusive insights into experiences otherwise out of reach, reserved only as hopes and dreams beyond reality, or as the right of the privileged ranks of the rich and famous. And here I cite with the fondest of memories my good fortune to have flown in Concorde from Paris to New York; a sailing to the USA aboard the Queen Mary 2, with a night spent at the captain’s table and a glittering host of celebs; a Virgin flight first-class to Australia with a Hong Kong five-star stopover; countless private jet trips with the late pools millionaire Robert Sangster and one-to-one lunches with mega film stars Paul Newman, Gene Hackman and world F1 champ Nigel Mansell; holidays with football legends George Best and Bobby Charlton, and an extended tour with The Beatles. There are too many more to mention. I shall stop it there to take up the very latest treat, an outing in what has been rightly voted the world’s luxury car, the wow of an Audi A8, a limo of poshness personified. And deservedly so, if my comfort-zone transport to the ultra-sophisticated Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, majestic centrepiece of quaint Bellagio on the shoreline of stunning Lake Como, one of Italy’s real treasures, is anything to go by. This is the ninth time in 14 years that Audi has been honoured with a World Car prize, and honestly, having
30 Looklocal Magazine - May 2018
savoured its style, revelled in its sumptuous legroom, sprawled in its leatherwork and appreciated its driver aids with gadgets galore, I am in 100 per cent support of its latest voted status on the globe’s luxury class list over some very worthy rivals at the New York Auto Show in March. Audi justifiably hail the A8 as their flagship saloon, as soothing an example as is possible of what a luxury model should be, and with so many driver assistance aids - 40 plus - and inbuilt safety devices and easy-to-read driver-help dials info so painstakingly assembled. And I viewed it all from the cossetted comfort of the vast back seat spread of exclusive club lounge comfort and quality, as my chauffeur made the most of the 4.0-litre engine that offered easy work on the 50-odd mile journey from Milan’s Linate Airport to the Serbelloni Hotel at the other end of a free-flowing motorway and then a twisty finale along the lakeside’s narrow lanes. It is a glider of a clever car with aplomb, grace, style and value for money, and it gave me and Trophy Wife an arrival presence at the Serbelloni that was noticed and commented upon favourably by an American couple as they strolled off to their Rolls Royce.... Specification: Audi V8. 3.0TFSI 335bhp Quattro. Fuel : Petrol. Speed 155mph. 0-62 mph in 5.6 seconds. MPG 37.7. Warranty: three years/60,000 miles. Price £71,000

DEMENTIA ACTION WEEK 21ST MAY 2018
Previously known as Dementia Awareness Week, the Awareness has changed to ACTION, as more and more people in our community either have dementia or know someone with dementia. Raising awareness and offering support will always be important, but we must go further to create change in communities. During Dementia Action Week, everyone across the country is asked to unite and take action. Whether big or small, actions can make everyday life better for people affected by dementia. It could be as simple as asking people to be more patient in checkout queues. It could be including the person with dementia in conversations or simply taking the time to pop round and visit. In Weybridge, there is a Dementia Friends Awareness session on 12 May and a special service on 22 May, both at St.James’ Church. Check out the Weybridge Dementia Action Alliance website, where you can join us and help make our town a Dementia Friendly Community. Further information from annabelleyeomans@yahoo.co.uk

Auntie Planty GARDENING
CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW
The 105th Chelsea Flower Show is all about the word ‘longer’. You can expect a longer life for show gardens and plants post-Chelsea; designers are encouraged to demonstrate the message that plants embrace longer lives by enhancing our wellbeing; and, for the first time this year, there’s a longer amount of time to mingle at the Showground. For as long as I can remember, the majority of Chelsea show gardens have been dismantled on the last day and sold, bit by bit, to visitors who will brave the journey home on public transport with their spoils. This year, there’s a definite emphasis on gardens having a ‘life after Chelsea’, so that all that time, money and effort will not end up in a skip at the end of the week, but enjoyed again for years to come in some community project. Also new for this year are the eight ‘Space to Grow Gardens’, set up as typical town gardens. Instead of being some fantastical hard-to-recreate design, they should be a collection of great ideas that would work in your own garden. How many times have I overheard a Chelsea visitor saying something like “hmm, all very nice - but can you honestly see that outside our kitchen window?’ Another change for 2018 is an extension to the opening hours on Friday 25 May, with music, food market, entertainment, demonstrations and the opportunity to see the gardens lit up. In previous years, the showground has closed at 20.00, but now, on this one Friday, you’ll be able to mingle and schmooze until closing time at 22.00.
The stories behind this year’s major gardens along Main Avenue range from a romanticised 18th century tea garden to a timeless recreation of a Mediterranean landscape; a blueprint for city living in an apartment block (complete with futuristic building) to the resilience and determination of situations of forced migration and displacement. So, as a visitor, you’ll be set to be transported to locations all around the world. A random fact: in previous years, there have been very few female designers strutting their stuff; this year, out of the 26 designers, 13 of them are women. And although we gardeners already know that plants can have a huge impact on our health and wellbeing, the RHS has invited designers this year to demonstrate how green spaces can improve lives and help mitigate against major environmental challenges. While I approve, secretly I rather mourn the absence of Diarmuid Gavin’s bonkers twirling box balls with a potting shed full of Heath Robinson gadgets, or his `Irish Sky Garden, difficult to describe without using the word ‘Teletubbies’. There is a definite place for whimsy at Chelsea, methinks. Valerie Munro is a chartered horticulturist. She offers unique and personal tuition sessions explaining the whys and wherefores of good gardening techniques in your own garden www.auntieplanty.co.uk
