FURNITURE PAST AND PRESENT New and second hand furniture for your home and office.

Huxley at Home is a family run business set just outside Chichester in West Sussex. Selling new and second-hand furniture, as well as accessories for the home, there is something for everyone. We also specialise in the repair and restoration of furniture and decorative items. From simple repairs through to the full restoration or conservation of older pieces.

We are the environmental choice - most of our furniture is beautifully restored second hand pieces, so no tree has been cut down to make it, no plastics have been used and we source locally so limit our air, land and sea miles. Where we stock new furniture, most is from reclaimed wood and via FSC accredited suppliers. Our aim is to limit our impact on our planet as much as we can.

VISIT US IN STORE We are located next to Manor Nursery in Runcton just outside Chichester, with plenty of free car parking.

Over £1400 raised for The Rosemary Foundation!

Some fragrant fluffy pigs helped raise over £1400 for local “Hospice at Home” charity, The Rosemary Foundation, last month.

Lavender Fields, based at Hartley Park Farm near Selborne, held the latest in a series of open days and pig racing events to support the Foundation, which provides a palliative care service in East Hampshire for patients in the latter stage of life threatening conditions, relying solely on fundraising to deliver its services.

We won’t let you down

“People don’t usually associate pigs with lavender but they go together well for us,” said the charity’s general manager Jeremy Mitchell. “Both events were very successful and everyone who came had lots of fun.”

On behalf of the Lavender Fields Simon Butler said “We support The Rosemary Foundation because it is a local charity doing great things for people locally”. On Saturday, 20th October is the Foundation’s annual quiz night at East Meon Village Hall. Starting at 7.00 pm, entry is £10 a head for teams of six to eight, bringing their own refreshments.

Begin by gently simmering 2-litres of traditional cider on a low heat.

You could use apple cider, or even experiment with a pear flavour.

Leave the cider to warm all the way through for a few minutes.

Next, gradually add the sugar to the cider. Depending on how sweet you’d like to the drink to be, we recommend around 75 grams in total.

One thing that always signifies the beginning of winter to us is that first sip of something mulled. Whether we’re huddled around the fire with our slippers on and favourite mug in hand, or pottering around Christmas markets in our warmest coat with our hands clasped around a takeaway cup, there is something magical about a warm alcoholic drink. Now is the time to indulge in mulled drinks of all varieties, and especially this season’s must-have mulled drink which is cider!

Cut two large oranges in half, and squeeze the juice into the mix. TOP TIP: Save the skin of the oranges to use as a garnish – simply wrap the skin around a straw, hold in place for a few seconds, and you’ll have your own spiral decoration!

For the final festive touch, stir in two teaspoons of vanilla essence, a cinnamon stick, and some finely grated nutmeg.

Carefully pour the mix into heatproof mugs, add your orange garnish and a final sprinkling of nutmeg and there you have it, the taste of Christmas in a mug!

As the nights draw in and the temperature drops, it’s time to heat up your pan and create a new winter dish filled with a warming fusion of sweet and spicy ingredients.

This ‘Sweet Potato Risotto’ is a healthier alternative to the classic risotto, with a delightful combination of sweet potatoes and peppers, and complimentary spices.

Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees. Peel 2-3 sweet potato spuds, and chop roughly.

Part boil the potato for around 10 minutes, and then take off the heat and drain. Dice the potatoes into bite-sized squares, and spread out onto a baking tray. Lightly cover with oil, and season with salt, pepper and paprika. Roast for 30 minutes, or until the potato begins to brown.

While the potato cooks, simmer vegetable stock over a low heat, and fry onions and diced red pepper in a little butter until the onion turns translucent and the peppers begin to soften. Add salt, pepper and paprika to the onion mix, and fry for another 2 minutes.

Take the pan off the heat, and leave to rest for 2 minutes. Dish the risotto into bowls, and sprinkle with goat’s cheese.

Rate our risotto? If you’ve been inspired by our dish, we’d love to see the end result! Email a picture to emma@thedirectorygroup.co.uk, or alternatively message us on Facebook @TheDirectoryGroup or Instagram @thedirectorygroup.

Cut & Keep!

Take the roasted potato from the oven, and add to the pan with the last of the vegetable stock. Continue to stir the mixture together until the stock has been absorbed.

Raise money for Breast Cancer Awareness month, until you’re pink in the face for Breast Cancer Now’s Wear it Pink Day…You’ve heard the expression pink to make the boys wink, but on Friday October 19th we’ll be joining thousands of other people across the UK in wearing pink to make the boys and girls think, as it’s Breast Cancer Now’s wear it pink day as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Wear it Pink day is a great opportunity to rally friends, family, colleagues and classmates together to raise money for Breast Cancer Now, an organisation whose research aims to detect breast cancer earlier, treat it efficiently, and work towards preventing the disease altogether. Since their first event in 2002, Breast Cancer Now has raised over £31.5 million, and on October 19th you can help contribute even more to their fantastic cause.

Fun ways you can help…

Pink party at work

Tickle the community pink Get your local town involved in a communal coffee morning, a charity quiz night at the community centre or pub, or even a party in the park with a sponsored sports event, craft stalls and music!

Each year 55,000 women face breast cancer, and around 11,500 women will die from it.

Breast Cancer Now is the largest breast cancer charity in the UK, and they believe that if we act now, by 2050 everyone who develops the disease will live.

Here at The Directory Group, we will be raising money in our pink attire on the 19th October, as well as donating £5 from every order made during October to Breast Cancer Care. To make a donation, visit our JustGiving page: www.justgiving.com/fundraising/The-DirectoryGroup

Everybody loves a bit of fancy dress, especially when there’s a theme! Have everyone at your workplace embrace their pink side and raise money from your office with a bake sale, a picnic where everyone contributes their lunch money and brings food to share, or even a pink fashion show with prizes for the best dressed.

Have a wild night in Rather than painting the town red, paint yourselves pink and gather your friends and family for a cosy night in! You’ll save on the taxi fare and expensive food and drinks out, and instead you can donate the money you save.

Meteorites land at Ditcham Park School Pupils from Ditcham Park School got their hands on rare samples of moon rocks and meteorites at an exciting and awe inspiring STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Fair held at the school at the end of term.

These included a 1.2 billion-year-old piece of Mars rock and a 4.3 billion-year-old meteorite. The lunar samples were collected in the 1960s and 1970s during NASA’s first space missions.

The students were entertained by a fantastic rockets, fire and explosions show by ‘Wonderstruck’ and toured an exhibition hall full of top names in STEM businesses such as Google, Estee Lauder and Siemens.

Newlyweds Marcus Fellowes and Linda Carolan, from West Meon, tied the Knot at Queen Alexandra Hospital in a short ceremony with the team at the intensive care unit.

Linda was admitted to the Portsmouth hospital with pneumonia and sepsis with doctors stating that she did not have long to live. She is currently battling stage four cancer after being diagnosed with breast cancer seven years ago.

With time against them, Linda said her dying wish was to marry her partner.

Marcus States: “The Doctor contacted the registry office, and they said that they could be at the hospital within the hour. It was incredible what they did for us. They made it a massive celebration.

Everyone wanted to get involved and do their part”.

Linda also states: “Everyone was jubilant; you could tell everyone was happy for us. Not only are they aiming to save my life, but they also fulfilled my last request!”

Linda’s condition is currently improving.

She is now in the Respiratory Care Ward Unit.

The pair is currently enjoying life as a married couple. Linda would like to hold a wedding celebration for their

It is always something we have wanted to do, but we never got around to it. We do not know how long Linda has left as she is battling stage four cancer, but we have high hopes”.

Both Marcus and Linda have been in good spirits since the wedding. It has given Linda a new focus.

EAST MEON ARTIST RENTS POP-UP SHOP IN PETERSFIELD! The Future looks bright for Meon Valley artist Amy Lague, after renting a pop-up shop in Petersfield town centre.

The public enjoyed viewing Amy’s artwork!

The pop-up shop specialised in seascapes, landscapes, floral acrylic paintings and cushions.

Amy loves to travel! Travel influences her artwork and inspires her to create artwork that is unique and personal to her.

Amy states: “There was quite a lot of interest, and I think because it’s a pop-up shop people are curious to what will be in there”.

She continues: “I would be interested in doing more pop-up shops in Petersfield and the surrounding area, and it’s great for an emerging artist. It has been very successful”.

She added: “The exposure from it is a big benefit, but I’ve got a few commissions out of it, too.”

For more details and examples of her work visit www.sunnyoutside.co.uk.

It was a new experience for the promising artist, but paid off fantastically as it led to numerous sales and commissions.
