What’s On
Collapse of Monarch Followers of my Travel Counsellors Facebook page may have already seen my recent posts about this matter. However, I feel it’s an important point to put across how important travel agents are and even more importantly the extra mile my company and our Duty Office go for our clients. Sadly, one of our national airlines had to stop trading in October. Monarch was the biggest airline failure in recent times and our Duty Office could not have acted quicker or more efficiently. We were instructed to re-book our clients onto alternative airlines immediately without having to wait for refunds and therefore re-protecting our clients and saving their holidays. Timing was key and by being on call 24/7 and acting quickly we were able to book flights before they went up in price or disappeared. Booking with me and Travel Counsellors doesn’t just ensure your money is safe, it ensures you have a holiday no matter what life throws at us. Contact me for a quote with a company you can trust and in the knowledge that I care about your holiday.

Sussex Snippets A recent South Downs Society (SDS) meeting welcomed a local, more integrated approach to the town’s traffic problems than relying on a big new bypass; as local residents joined speakers from regional and national organisations in questioning the evidence submitted in their current public consultation by Highways England. The meeting was chaired by the Policy Officer for SDS, Steve Ankers, who concluded, “We need to look closely at what the actual problems are that we’re hoping to solve … from the evidence that Highways England have put forward the grand bypass options don’t score well. Arundel and the National Park deserve better.” 01798 875073 enquiries@southdownssociety.org.uk Already over 15million people live in local authorities, which are adopting or have adopted the “20’s plenty where people live” policy – where people have changed their behaviour to drive slower in residential streets and where people walk and cycle. 20's plenty for us is a 'not for profit' organisation and now have nearly 400 local campaigns around the country and many of our most iconic cities in the UK have already adopted a 20mph limit for most of their streets.

SUSSEX LOCAL The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recently advised that people at highest risk of developing diabetes should be given intensive support, including being referred to cookery classes. The guidance has been welcomed by Storringtonbased social enterprise company Health Champions, which has been running free cookery classes across West Sussex for over seven years with course leaders having taught more than 1,000 people to cook and eat more healthily, an experience, which is lifechanging for many participants. www.healthchampions.co.uk info@health-champions.co.uk 01444 318649 The leaders of both Adur District and Worthing Borough Council are urging the transport secretary to visit the area in a bid to find a long-term solution for the A27, following on from the Councils sending the “strongest possible message” in officially opposing consultation plans to ‘improve’ the major east-west trunk road. This summer Highways England unveiled only one £69 million option to try and combat congestion on the stretch through Lancing and Worthing, but, in a letter sent today to transport secretary Chris Grayling, the leaders of both local authorities wholeheartedly rejected the proposal and are calling for the government to do more to improve this crucial section of infrastructure. www.highways.gov.uk/a27Worthing-and-Lancing. Out There West Sussex is a sports and leisure project, providing activities in the local community for people 16+ with learning disabilities and Autism. The Out There team including volunteers, help to support over 400 people a week throughout West Sussex, to access activities including cooking, ten pin bowling, football, swimming, gym, badminton, cricket, social clubs, cycling, dance, arts and crafts, live music and trampolining. www.facebook.com/outtherewestsussex/ Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne has made funding available for projects that specifically support vulnerable victims of crime, particularly hate crime. For the first time, grants of up to £20,000 are available from the Victims’ Services Fund for initiatives which aim to help victims of hate crime, including race, religion, gender identity, sexuality, disability, age, and those that have been persistently targeted.

Lollipop Lady Reaches Milestone
School Crossing Patrol Officer, Tracey Nicholson, celebrated ten years of safely crossing children from St James’ School over the A29 road at Coldwaltham. Despite clear signage that there is a school crossing ahead, vehicles regularly break the 30 mph speed limit on this busy road. To express their thanks for Tracey’s decade of service, the children invited the lollipop lady to a special Super Heroes assembly where they presented her with a special card and a bouquet. The school also recently presented Tracey with a body camera donated by an anonymous donor, which the lollipop lady will be able to use to record incidents that occur on the A29.
St. James’ visit the Rother This term, years 5 and 6 at St. James’ have been studying features of the River Rother near Petworth. They explored the usually private Leconfield Estate to gain first-hand experience of river features such as meanders, erosion and deposition. They also had fun exploring wildlife in and around the river and even
SUSSEX LOCAL watched a demonstration of fly fishing by a kind fisherman who was passing. The children had the opportunity to sit and reflect on the beauty of their surroundings, recording and drawing sketches and writing poems in their field journals.
Village Schools and the Church
The role of the Church in a village school is “like joining the dots for a strong and healthy community.” Graham Bloomfield, Headmaster of Fittleworth School says “the relationship between church and school is symbiotic and strong. The church guides the school with sound Christian values which transcend most faiths; and the school guides the church to respond and shape itself to meet the needs of the children and their families.” The Reverend Colin Datchler, St. Mary’s Church, Fittleworth adds “part of what makes the village of Fittleworth great is the fact that we have a school in it; a Church of England School. We pray for the school and support it, but through this we look to see how it can shape the Church.” For more information on St. Mary’s Church visit www.stmarysfittleworth.co.uk.

Home-Start Dress-up Day
Home-Start CHAMS (Crawley, Horsham and MidSussex) are asking local schools, nurseries, companies and community groups to get involved on Friday 1st December to join their Christmas Dress-up Day and raise donations for the Snowflake Appeal. The appeal is to raise funds to support vulnerable children in Crawley, Horsham and Mid Sussex and to increase awareness of the charity’s work. It is part of a national campaign run by their parent charity, Home-Start UK, and backed by TV presenter, Kirstie Allsopp. The charity chose the snowflake symbol for the appeal because “every child Home-Start supports is as unique and fragile as a snowflake.” Contact: www.homestartchams.org.uk/snowflake
Drilling for Oil Dear Editor, It is regrettable that the County Council or UKOG have not seen fit to show any marked change of heart over fracking*. Scotland has the right idea; they value their land and environment above short-term profit for a minority. Moreover, where they have been able to examine the shale rock it has been found to be totally different to
SUSSEX LOCAL US bedrock; it is much more ancient and unlikely to have the same yield. Even if it did have deposits to extract, where does it say it has to be ripped from the ground without delay? Does UKOG management and WSCC hold their grandchildren and their descendants in such low esteem that they greedily consume all the resources leaving nothing for future generations? I would seriously urge the Council to stop this destructive and polluting scheme before our precious countryside is lost. John Bartlett, by Email. Editor’s note: *Whilst we understand that the drilling process at Adversane is apparently not fracking, we have left this letter unedited.

Everyone has a story to tell
To your family, your life story will be as interesting as any celebrity autobiography. By Helen Gregory. Many of us regret not knowing more about our parents and grandparents. Photographs are fine while they’re still around to explain who’s who, but will a dusty album mean anything to future generations? Writing your life story can help your children or grandchildren to learn more about you. You might not have been famous, adventurous or influential but your family and friends will find your story as interesting as any celebrity autobiography. Everyone has a story to
tell; no one has had a completely ‘normal’ life. Quite often, your nearest and dearest only know about the bit of your life that they’ve played a part in. Writing your life story can heal past wounds, deal with unfinished business or even reveal family secrets – and the result will inevitably become a family heirloom. If you fancy having a go yourself, you could start by penning a short memoir, which doesn’t have to include every detail of your life - it’s a story from a life, a snapshot of a particular time, which focuses on a key event, such as your childhood, hobby or a particular relationship. But if you want to tackle your whole life story – an autobiography - start by selecting up to 20 key life events. List all the important and not-so-importantbut-memorable things that have happened during your life and think about how you can link them to create a narrative. It’s not always a good idea to start with your earliest childhood memory and move through your story chronologically; it can be more helpful to make a list of turning points in your life, big decisions and significant events. You can then flesh out the story by remembering why you made those decisions, and your feelings or regrets about the path you took. Before you start to write, do plenty of research. You might think you remember everything that has happened over the years, but look back through old diaries and photographs, listen to music, or visit an old address or school to trigger memories. Asking yourself some key questions, such as who the significant people in your life have been, can also help jog memories and remember people that might not have come up in linear recollections. And once you start, you’ll often find that one memory will spark another. Write down the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given, favourite pets or most memorable meals and this will get you thinking about certain periods of your life and the important people in them. It’s also satisfying and even cathartic to record your values, best qualities and religious beliefs as these are things your family and friends will enjoy remembering or even discovering, often for the first time. It’s important to include your feelings and reactions to what’s happened in your life; remember that your book isn’t just about dates and facts, it’s an emotional story. Description is key, so this means more than just listing events. Include all the senses: what could you hear? Smell? What did you feel? Writing about wonderful meals or favourite songs of the time can evoke powerful memories, allowing you to remember details and give your writing more depth and

feeling. A bit of dialogue can also work well, if you particularly remember what was said and by whom as this can bring a story to life - but don’t get bogged down in unnecessary detail that slows down the narrative. Once you’ve collected a number of scenes, you might find that there is one central theme emerging and driving your life story such as perseverance, gratitude or regret, or a combination of these – which is the main message you want to convey. Decide on the structure and create summaries for each chapter before you start to write. And once you do, it’s important to choose a style and tense and stick to it. It’s more common to write in the past tense and first person, however, it’s sometimes nice to finish your book with a certain amount of reflection and using the present tense to talk about your life as it is now, to bring your story up to date. And remember that a life story isn’t just about you, it’s about other people, so talk to parents, siblings and other key people for their take on events. While you might not remember every detail about a certain time, family members or friends might, while they can also give you a completely different perspective. Once you get started, it’s also not uncommon to realise deciding what to include can be challenging, maybe for fear of upsetting relatives or even boring them!

30 Life Questions to help kick-start your life story writing What was your childhood like? Who were the important people growing up and what was their impact on you? What were the circumstances of your leaving home? What were the big turning points in your life? What lessons has life taught you? What skills or talents do you have and how did you acquire them? What has been the biggest sadness in your life? The whole experience can even make you feel quite vulnerable and emotional. Penning and publishing a book can also be daunting; while everyone has a story to tell, many of us need help telling it. Why not start out by imagining you’re writing a letter to a longlost friend, telling them everything that’s happened since you last saw them? Not necessarily a writer, but still want to record your story somehow? Try making audio or video recordings which you could then take to someone who’s able to type out your story in a logical order. But if you need more help, working with a ghost-writer can help you remember, order and interpret what went on in your life. A life story writing service makes the process much easier. During a series of personal visits, an interviewer will chat about your life to gather stories and recollections before shaping them into a narrative.
SUSSEX LOCAL
Your words are edited, written and proof read – and you get to check and approve the story as you go through the process. After each session, the chapters are written and approved before finally being printed in a hardback book along with photographs chosen from childhood, right through to the present day. A good personal history life writer will review the text with you and get your feedback and corrections. They’ll also have the ability to bring your story to life in an interesting way, using vivid detail and the insight you share with them. So go on, dig out those boxes of photos and diaries and start putting those memories down on paper. If you’d like to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime project, contact Helen Gregory at Memory Lane Books a Sussex based life story writing service on 07799 764414 or you can email helen@memorylanebooks.co.uk www.memorylanebooks.co.uk

In Your Garden Monthly gardening ideas and tasks by Andrew Staib, Principle Designer of Glorious Gardens Invest in Spring now! Nothing heralds Spring with greater brass band fanfare than bulbs. Just when Winter is dragging on and you have forgotten you have a garden, bulbs herald forth the beginning of the warmer seasons and ones aspirations and plans for the year. This Autumn why not be a bit bolder in your choice of bulbs and the amount you plant. You can hardly have enough bulbs so you could double up with the quantities you order. Rather than clumps of 5 Daffodils or Alliums here and there why not go for clumps of 12. If you want a lovely display of Snowdrops why not go for 1000 rather than 50. you won’t regret it. don’t rely on last years Tulips. Assume none of them will come up again and plant a load more. Also most bulbs try to get up and out into the light before the trees have come into leaf so you can make maximum advantage of this by trying to plant bulbs in combination with other ones. Below are some tips on what and where to plant this month. Woodland Look around and see if you have any shady areas under trees. Bulbs love this space as it is free from footfall, the trees are not yet into leaf so there is plenty of light and there is reduced chance of being waterlogged. Choose natural colonizers like Daffodils, Crocus, English Bluebells, Snowdrops and Grape Miscari. They will multiply year upon year and make the shady area the great focal point of Spring’s arrival. Also think about large swathes of Anemone blanda as it will spread and be with you forever. Lawn It is not fashionable these days but why not plant up a large area of your lawn with Crocuses. (If you have Astro turf you could invent plastic ones and make a fortune!)
Crocuses will delight you when they push up through the grass and in that 70’s colour scheme of purples, whites and yellows and they are easily mown over once they have wilted away. You could also collect saffron which are made from the red stamens inside the flower! Meadow If you have a meadow section of your garden Fritillaria meleagris is an endangered species in Europe so why not plant these chequerboard patterned beauties amongst your daffodils. Pots Now is the time to cram your pots with tulips. Tulips are a living meditation on impermanence as most
through the door don’t come back the following year- so a few weeks of display and that’s it. But what a way to awaken colour in your garden. If you have a very sheltered and in a hot spot try Freesia- their scent will intoxicate you. Plant in big groups Don’t be tempted to buy 5 of these and 6 of those. If you want maximum impact buy in bulk online. It is cheaper and the different between 20 daffodils and 200 creates a completely different effect. Even in big pots go for 12-15 tulips rather than a few. And if you are planting them in borders it is better to have three clumps of 15 than 45 bulbs dotted about the place looking lonely. Go for the unusual Try Frittilaria Crown Imperials, the mad looked Allium ‘Hair’, Narcissi ‘Rip Van Winkle’ or Tulipa ‘Wow’ and again plant in a couple of nice big clumps, maybe on both sides of your doorway so you enjoy them many times a day. You can also try the giant Snowdrop Leucojuim in a quite corner of the garden. Plant in amongst other plants You can plant your bulbs in amongst evergreen ground cover which doubles the use of the space and also hides the foliage once the bulbs have finished.

Try planting in amongst an area of Perriwinkle, Ajuga, Violets or even Ivy. Bulb Combinations Try these combinations Agapanthas and Wild Garlic, large pale pink Hyacinths with the pale blue of Miscarri Baby’s Breath, Tete-a-Tete Narcissi with Fritillaria. Also look at the maximum and minimum heights of your borders and position accordingly. eg Allium altissima at 1.5 m and Allium Christophii at 35cm Successional planting Make a column where you make sure you have bulbs coming up all the way through the year as if they are passing the baton to each other. For example you can buy Very Early, Early, Mid and Late flowering Tulips and Daffodils.Then Allums take over the baton for Summer. You can then factor in the corm families as well with Agapanths, Cannas and Irises as well as Dahlias. There are also Crinums for the end of summer, bright pink Nerines and Cyclamen hederifolium for Autumn as well as autumn flowering Colchicums with their ghostly translucent hue. Planting Advice The packet that the bulbs arrive in will normally tell
38 Gardening you the depth and spacing for planting up. If you are planting in clumps dig a whole section of the bed up of about 40cm in diameter rather than try to plant them individually. Bulbs as a rule need very well drained soil so if you are in a lot of clay really prepare the soil well with grit and organic improver and even then you will have to experiment with what survives. Taking Care If you have planted in pots make sure they don’t dry out which is possible if we have a dry Autumn or Winter. Bulbs like a mulch feed whether in pots or in the open ground so this can be done now after you have planted them. If you deadhead the old flowers once they have finished then you will stop the plant having to produce seeds which can weaken it. Most people though like to leave the old seedheads of Alliums to dry out as they look very sculptural over the Summer and Autumn. Lastly if you leave the foliage to die back naturally then more of the energy of the plant can return to the bulb increasing its health.
Places to visit
What can I say? Sheffield Park is the place to be. Huge trees on fire with Autumn colour with lakes reflecting their light like giant mirrors.
SUSSEX LOCAL What to do in November Now is the time to move plants around the garden or plant up new ones. The soil is still warm for the roots to establish but there is less chance of the plants drying out. Harvest the last of your tomatoes as the frosts can get them. even if they are green they will ripen in a bowl. Lift your Dahlias and store them in a dry, dark place (some people leave them in the soil over Winter but this is a risk) If your Roses are particularly tall you can prune them back to reduce the rock to their roots a strong Winter wind can wreck on them. Put bubble wrap around any precious tropical trees like Bananas or Tree Ferns. Plant Perennial and trees. Trees can be bought as bare root specimens, so will be cheaper plus the plants will have five moths without any real need of watering before Spring arrives

Using the Cloud? by Alan Stainer
One of the great shifts in computing right now is the transition to the cloud. ‘The cloud’ refers to any service where you log in to a remote server. I use the cloud all the time. It still surprises me when I hear people say they don’t trust the cloud and that they would rather keep their things safe in one place on their PC. So let’s talk about the trust issue. The main reason given is the fear that someone else may be able to hack into your account and get at all of your things. The sad truth is that as soon as you connect to the internet, you are exposing your device to malicious attacks and malware which can indeed rob you of your personal information and files. That is why it is so important to use a good anti malware program and to make sure you keep everything up to date. When it comes to your login details for your online accounts, there are ways to protect them. 1. Make sure your password is complex using a combination of letters, numbers and special characters. 2. Don’t use easily deciphered words or phrases. 3. Enable 2 step verification. That will stop anyone from logging into your account without also having access to your phone. www.alansitsolutions.com

Win a copy of ’Ready to Serve’ Thriller by local author Simon M Gray ‘Bestseller potential’, ‘excellent escapism’, ‘phenomenal plot twists’ – just a few reviewer comments about Ready to Serve, the latest thriller from Sussex author Simon M Gray. As for Simon, he has been described as a, ‘Wilbur Smith for our times’. Simon M Gray And, Ready to Serve, his fifth novel, cements this reputation. The plot, which rarely pauses for breath, follows Mike Huntley, an initially reluctant hero, from his stifling London life to Central America where he faces the darkest enemies of our times as he fights to save his brother, a famous TV reporter. It is a dazzling thriller and a poignant tale about modern terrorism and our voyeuristic fascination with reality television. ‘I write about what I know,’ Simon explains. ‘I lived in the Caribbean, have trekked through jungle and crewed super yachts. Although, I have never faced down a terrorist! That is drawn from the headlines – and my own imagination.’ Simon, who now lives in Arundel with his wife and family, penned his first novel in just two weeks. ‘I wrote freehand, writing in every spare moment,’ he remembers. ‘I found it a hugely cathartic experience.’
Simon’s past careers and travels provide the plot framework for all his thrillers. But, his books’ soul comes from the characters. Are you ready to join Simon’s growing legion of readers? Are you Ready to Serve? Paperback version of Ready to Serve £9.99 available from The Book Ferret, 34 High Street, Arundel, BN18 9AB.

The 1960’s
By Chris Ennis FRICS
I remember them well! I remember Francis Chichester sailing solo around the world (1960), the great train robbery (1963), the assassination of President Kennedy (1963), clashes between mods and rockers (1964) and England winning the world football cup (1968), I remember my school days in Chelmsford, Essex, and my first job in a London Bank, steam trains, my first moped and fashionable but uncomfortable ‘chisel point’ shoes. Housing was then mainly of pre-war design and construction, and of course most of that era of housing stock remains. Employment and income levels were high, and a new architectural style emerged from the austerity and gloom of the 1940’s and 50’s. Housing appearance became angular with rigid geometric designs and the first of the ‘Tower blocks’ of flats started to appear in city centres. The average house price of a residential property in 1960 was about £2500 (about 2.6 times the average wage), but by 1969 the average house price had risen to the order of £4600. The typical 1960’s house was constructed with cavity brick walls topped with a concrete tiled pitched roof. Floors were likely to be
SUSSEX LOCAL constructed of concrete, and single glazed windows and other external joinery formed in timber. Asbestos containing materials were in common use, and apart from asbestos insulation and roof coverings asbestos was a component in paints, floor tiles, textured plaster finishes and many other products. When I inspect a 1960’s house I usually find that the original windows require replacement or major repair, kitchens and bathrooms require renewal, and insulation to loft spaces and walls is inadequate. Original electrical circuitry will be suspect and the electric consumer unit will likely to be formed in Bakelite incorporating rewireable fuses……. all now obsolete. I always look for the electric extension lead indicating that there are inadequate power outlets for modern requirements. Central heating and space heating systems are invariably in need of some improvement. The layout of gardens is also in my mind... shrubs and saplings planted too close to the walls of a house could have grown to damaging proportions over the 50 years or so. A full structural survey should not usually be required on this type of property since a ‘level 2’ home buyer inspection should suffice.

Coldwaltham News Parish Council Meeting
Edited extracts from the minutes of 13th September. Several members of the public were in attendance. Meadow development. The Clerk had received a letter from Mark Dallyn, Ingrams Farm, Hardham, putting forward a potential development site for the Neighbourhood Plan, which he believed the Parish Council was currently preparing. The council has written to Mr Dallyn outlining the future discussions. A member of the public asked if Mr Dallyn’s alternative site had been put forward to SDNPA for the Local Plan; Cllr Nelson noted that although the Parish Council had been made aware of the site, cannot be sure whether it will be included in the final Local Plan. Another member of the public asked if the report she had written had been distributed to members of council, advising of one clarification regarding the age of the field. She further updated the members that the Coldwaltham Meadow Conservation Group (CMCG) is a group of people formed simply to challenge the SDNP regarding the meadow, which is believed to be the only one in the SDNP. They have raised some money, along with a donation from the WildBrooks Society, have been able to appoint a Property Consultant, and have generated a
SUSSEX LOCAL media following. They are delighted that the school roll is rising, however school number can rise and fall because of the other factors. One councillor asked for a point to be clarified: Meadows receive classification as regards to their different management schemes. Does the CMCG have a strategy of how the meadow should be managed in the future? The field currently belongs to the Barlavington Estate, which has been in receipt of funding for the past 10 years on the grounds of how the field has been managed, however, this grant has not been applied for again. It was noted that there has been, as result of previous discussions, other sites brought forward, but the Chairman reminded members of the public that the council cannot comment as such, as this might be deemed predetermination. New Parish Councillor Two candidates attended the meeting for interview, Ann Hewitt and Amy Dallyn. After listening to submissions from each candidate, it was decided to put forward Ann Hewitt but to encourage Amy Dallyn to attend future meetings as there will be another vacancy for co-option shortly. www.coldwalthampc.org.uk

In response to an email from a resident, it was mentioned that the bigger parking area has “Polite Notices” (reserving spaces for particular houses on the Terrace). The resident complained that tall trees on this patch of ground were putting their garden into shade, and offered to pay for reducing or felling them. A councillor was not happy for there to be any felling and Sandy Lane residents were concerned at the loss of rural amenity. It was agreed to hold a meeting on site to discuss options, including cutting nettles back. www.fittleworth-pc.org.uk

Pulborough Parish Council Sign of the Times
Edited extract from the Planning and Services Committee Meeting held on 5th October. Gateway signs in Broomers Hill Lane The Deputy Clerk explained that although Pulborough Parish Council have conducted a consultation to some of the residents in Broomers Hill Lane regarding the signs, WSCC have to also conduct a public consultation to enable them to apply for a licence to have the signs installed. Members received two responses from the WSCC consultation, one in support and one against. The one against requested that the proposed location be changed, but Members agreed that the proposed location should remain to provide heightened awareness of speed for that particular part along Broomers Hill Lane. The Deputy Clerk reported that S106 contributions for Highways was not available for this project as the West Sussex CC Officer responsible for Highways & Transport in matters relating to WSCC held S106 contributions, has advised that as the provision of village gateways is a cosmetic enhancement of the highway it does not meet the criteria for funding from sustainable transport contributions. Having also contacted the Planning Obligations Officer at Horsham DC, they have advised that the gate-
SUSSEX LOCAL way signs do not fall within the remaining categories of S106 funding, which are Community Facilities, Community Hall & Buildings, Open Space, Sport & Recreation, therefore no funds are available for this purpose. Therefore, the Deputy Clerk would like the Committee to consider other forms of funding and gave details regarding WSCC’s Community Initiative Fund, however Parish Councils are unlikely to be able to apply for a grant, it would have to be applied for by a community group and it would be looked at more favourably if match funded by the Parish Council. The deadline for the next application (was) 15th October. After some discussion, Members instructed the Deputy Clerk to research with neighbouring councils and the providers as to how funding might be achieved. Editor’s note. A great example of the hoops Parish Councils have to jump through just to improve something as fundamental as road safety. As usual in these times, it comes down to one thing - money. We know Broomers Hill very well, and it can be a hazardous drive. Typically, West Sussex County Council Highways shrug their shoulders. The same way they did for traffic calming outside a pre-school at Cootham when we asked them about it over three years ago. www.pulboroughparishcouncil.gov.uk
