Welcome to the village directory Hi everyone, It’s Chocolate time! Just as I’ve managed to knock off a few of the pounds I gained at Christmas, Easter arrives with all the temptation of chocolate. When I was young I was fussy about the flavours and types I enjoyed but these days, in my more mature years, my taste has broadened to the point where any chocolate is a delight, whether it’s milk or plain, with almost anything in the centre (not Turkish Delight!) I will put my feet up and enjoy a moment or two in that world where the Cadbury’s Flake girl used to stroll (now I’m showing my age!).

Anyway enough of that, there’s far more to Easter than chocolate, it’s the begining of spring and hopefully the weather will reflect that. It’s time to clear out those cupboards, spring clean, decorate or, weather permitting, begin to tackle the garden. I’m sure we will all be busy bees in one way or another, whether your focus is on social or domestic activities you’ll find ideas and help within these pages.

Why not check out some of our new advertisers.

Have a great Easter ~

Tenterden Tales A gentleman in Tenterden has discovered scenes of his family filmed in 1952, when they worked on a hop picking holiday in Rolvenden.

His mother is seen having lunch 60 years ago!

Put together by a local film maker Wilf Watters of Tenterden, it brings back life in and around Tenterden.

Tenterden High Street is shown as black “English” cars park outside the Town Hall, as they still do now. The 97 bus arrives from Ashford, passengers had to enter at the back and buy a ticket from a Conductor back then.

The Embassy Cinema was still open right up to 1967. There was almost no traffic then, or even any traffic lights. The last trains at High Halden Station and St Michaels Halt are seen in 1954, eventually the preserved railway, now a great attraction in the town reopened in 1974. Did you know that Tenterden’s first cinema opened as early as 1912, the building is still there.

We Are Family

14

My Family and Other Animals: Gerald Durrell Eccentric but enchanting, Durrell recalls his blissful childhood growing up on a Greek Island.

Scorpions and snakes abound, as well as colourful characters and the all-round air of plain bonkersmadness that we associate with family life. Chaotic and hypnotic, this book is hugely funny and hasn’t lost any of its appeal over the years.

Little Women: Louisa May Alcott Never were there such devoted sisters…until you add domestic turmoil, death and boys into the mix. Amy, Beth, Jo and Meg are the March sisters growing up during the Civil War era. Jo doesn’t want to cut her hair off and Meg doesn’t want to be a governess, but you have to admit that Beth comes off worst!

It’s an all-American classic and is a definite must-read for any teenage girl, whether you have sisters or not.

The Awakening: Kate Chopin This is the hopeless tale of New Orleans housewife Edna Pontellier who struggles like a caged bird, batting against the bars and confines of domesticity.

There was little empathy for the character when the book was first published and certainly she can be read as a very selfish protagonist, but subsequent

For kids, April means the Easter holidays. Time for enforced fun, ill-fated camping trips and long drives squished in the back of the car, with your siblings breathing in your face. We’ve picked some of the best books about family life and how to survive. Two weeks off…are we there yet?

generations have come to recognise Edna’s plight, her need for a sensuous relationship and ultimately, her freedom.

Everybody Jam: Ali Lewis The Dawson family is used to harsh climates and tough situations: they run a cattle station in Australia’s Northern Territory. Plagued by drought, this year’s ‘muster’ will be another battle with the elements. But there’s more to contend with than the outdoors this year. Eldest son Jonny has been killed but no one talks about it, 14 year old Sissy is pregnant after ‘rooting’ with an Aboriginal lad and there’s a new Pommie house girl who can’t even make toast. Told through the eyes of 13 year old Danny, it’s a story of a strong clan who overcome adversity and survive, way out in the outback.

The Red House: Mark Haddon How do siblings become total strangers? Brought together by the death of their mother, Angela and her brother Richard have only really communicated through phone calls for the last decade or so. Now Richard has invited Angela and her growing brood to spend a week with them in deepest darkest Wales. The book flits between characters but once you’re into the rhythm of how these two families tick, it’s a great read that’s full of sibling-

rivalry, trips and falls down memory lane and getting to know each other all over again.

We Need to Talk About Kevin: Lionel Shriver This is the shocking and disturbing story of a family torn apart when the eldest son carries out a massacre at his school. It’s powerfully told through a series of letters written by his mother, Eva to her husband Franklin as she tries to come to terms with the atrocities carried out by Kevin.

It brings up all kinds of questions about nature versus nurture and how siblings and parents impact on each other’s lives. Throughout the book we can begin to piece together exactly what took place in the high school gym, but it still won’t prepare you for the startling conclusion. Quite simply, a brilliant thriller.

business Buying a property with someone else? Make sure you protect your interests!

In the latest in our regular series of articles regarding legal matters, Katrina Kemp, Trainee Solicitor at Pengelly & Rylands, Katrina Kemp, Trainee Solicitor gives some advice on buying a property with another party.

A trust deed someone else, you can hold the ownership as should reflect the respective shares and mention either “Joint Tenants” or “Tenants in Common”. how the property will be maintained and/or mortgage payments are to be met.

Joint tenants both own the whole of a property and are entitled to an equal and undivided share On the death of a tenant in common, the share of the in it. On the death of one of the joint owners, the deceased joint owner will not pass automatically to property passes automatically to the survivor, the survivor, but in accordance with the terms of whatever the Will of the deceased party might their Will or under the rules of intestacy rules. It is say. This method is most commonly used by therefore imperative your Will is kept up-to-date. married couples (however, in the event of divorce and a sale of the property, the presumption that If you would like us to act in your sale or purchase, the proceeds should be shared equally between draft a trust deed, change your ownership from the parties may be overturned by the court). joint tenants to tenants in common (or vice versa), Joint tenancy can be changed to tenants in update your Will or offer further legal advice please common if your situation changes. This is called call us on 01580 762248. “severing the joint tenancy”.

Tenants in common have an undivided share in the property. That share could be equal or unequal. Tenants in common is most suited if you are putting unequal amounts of money into the property and you want this to be reflected in your shares of ownership. The following few examples may reflect your situation: 1. If you are contributing towards your offspring’s first home you may want to hold a share in the property as tenants in common. Your solicitor could prepare a trust deed to reflect the share you have contributed, how and when you will be repaid and who will be responsible for the property. When the property is sold you will be entitled to the share of the sale proceeds as stated in the trust deed.

2. When buying a house with your partner it is best to discuss how you want to hold the ownership of the property. It may be unromantic but it can prevent any legal battles in the future. Where partners are not married it is more common to hold as tenants in common and to have a trust deed. If you have contributed in unequal shares it is important a trust deed is drafted stating what shares are agreed.

Seasonal Delights

Spiced Rack of Lamb with Fragrant Rice

Serves 4

Ready in 1 hour Perfect for a spring Sunday lunch or stylish supper this quick and easy lamb dish is full of flavor. Choose a couple of meaty racks of lamb from a good butcher and score the layers of fat before spreading with the harissa paste. Serve with a cooling garlic and mint yoghurt sauce.

20

Ingredients: • 1 tbsp harissa paste (see Tip) • 2 trimmed racks of lamb, each with 6 bones • 2 red onions, peeled and cut into slim wedges • 50g butter • 225g basmati rice, rinsed and drained • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed • 750ml vegetable stock • Generous pinch saffron strands • 50g sultanas • 40g flaked almonds, lightly toasted • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Tip: Harissa paste is a fiery hot North African blend of red chilli peppers and spices – just a little goes a long way so use sparingly. You’ll find it in small jars near the dried herb and spice sections in most large supermarkets.

Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas 6. Spread the harissa paste over the lamb racks. Place the racks in an oiled roasting tin and add the onion wedges.

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes depending on how pink you like your lamb. Remove from the oven. Cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes – the lamb will be juicier and easier to carve.

Meanwhile, heat the butter in a heavy-based pan until melted and foaming. Add the rice and garlic. Fry gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the rice is translucent. Pour in the stock.

Add the saffron and bring to the boil, stirring.

Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 15-20 minutes without removing the lid until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat. Fork through to separate the grains. Add the sultanas, flaked almonds and pomegranate seeds.

Carve the lamb racks into individual cutlets and serve immediately with the fragrant rice and roast onion wedges.

wit & wisdom

because Mr. Gorsky had died, so Neil Armstrong felt he could now answer the question. Here is the answer to “who was Mr Gorsky”: In 1938, when Armstrong was a kid in a small mid-western town, he was playing baseball with a friend in their backyard. His friend hit the ball, which landed in his neighbour’s yard by their bedroom window. His neighbours were Mr. and Mrs.Gorsky.

On July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 lunar module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.

His first words after stepping on the moon were, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” It was televised to earth and heard by millions.* But just before he re-entered the lander to come back to earth he made the enigmatic remark “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.”

It broke the place up. Neil Armstrong’s family confirmed this is a true story.

Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet cosmonaut, however, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.

Crossword Solution

Over the years, many people questioned Armstrong as to what the - ‘Good luck, Mr. Gorsky’ statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26-year-old question about Mr Gorsky to Armstrong. This time he finally responded

As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs Gorsky shouting at Mr Gorsky, “Sex! You want sex?! You’ll get sex when that kid next door walks on the moon!”

For Sale 2004 Vauxhall Signum 2.2 Direct Auto.

Bargain at ÂŁ1795 ono.

Large boot, lots of leg room, the rear seats fold flat for larger items. Half leather interior, Aircon, CD player, electric windows, Cruise Control, Privacy Glass, etc etc.

89k on the clock but had a replacement engine so the current engine has only done around 50k. In the last few weeks fitted a new Catalytic Converter and new front disks and pads. There are no lights on the dash, it starts and stops perfectly and the gearbox is all working correctly, tires are all good as well.

The only niggle is a bit of wear on the drivers seat bolster which I have covered with tape to stop it getting any worse, other than that it is in good condition. This is a practical and comfortable car and as you can see from the pictures the body work is in good condition with just a couple of minor age related marks here and there.

Private Care Service at Mealtimes

Our Private Care Service carers can come to your house and help to prepare fresh, ready made or light meals. This help can form part of a tailored package of care that could help you stay in your own home for longer, rather than going into a care home before its really needed.

We can assist those who need help due to frailty, disability or illness to live as independently as possible, with comfort and dignity, in their own home.
