Well August is upon us again, is it just me or are the months racing by at break neck speed? The school holidays are now here and the kids are probably bored already, so why not check out this month’s events, you may find something to keep them entertained, for a little while at least. The bi-annual Aldington Soapbox Derby takes place this year on Bank Holiday Monday. It’s a great day out for the family, and the creative speed freaks among us are offered an adrenaline fueled race down Forge Hill, hoping that their Karts make it to the bottom in one piece - and the right way up!
The Sands grooming studio
August has a number of high profile birthdays, Alexander Fleming b: 1881 Enid Blyton b: 1897, Mother Teresa b: 1910, and then there’s Madonna and Michael Jackson b:1958. Last but not least - ME! All gifts gratefully received, just kidding! Sadly August is also the month the world lost Elvis Presley in 1977, it was one of those shock announcements that ensures you never forget where you were at the time, much like Kennedy in 1963 - although I was much too young to remember that one! On a positive note, as one door closes another opens, my husband was born just eight days before the loss of Kennedy. He may not be famous and powerful but, like Mary Poppins, he’s practically perfect. So much so he’s known to those that love him as Peter Poppins or Peeps for short! Until next time, have a great month!

We are looking to trace our sister who was born Brenda Carr in South
ACH HOUS O CH HOUSE CCOACLINIC CLINIC
Tenterden
Shields Tyne & Wear ( was County Durham at the time) . She was fostered and then moved to Kent with foster parents and subsequently adopted. She is one of 14 siblings. Although there are only ten left including herself. She was born in December 1959. We have tried on numerous occasions to find her, with no luck. So we are hoping this time with the help of readers of The Village Directory we may strike it lucky. We were all placed into the care of the local authority but have managed to trace each other with the exception of Brenda. We know she will have had her name changed. But hope that she knows about her adoption and this might enlighten her to her other brothers and sisters who have always wanted to know that she is okay and has never been forgotten by any of us. She is the missing link to making our family complete. My name is Barbara Carr and I can be contacted on 07715 497 611, Thank you.

Tropical Paradise by Pippa Greenwood
6
As the summer’s end is not too far away, many of us will be wishing for that exotic holiday we never quite had. But you can recreate that Typically Tropical Feel in your own garden instead. The temperatures may not be quite what they might be on a real exotic holiday, but it’ll certainly help to make your garden feel warmer and more appealing, and you can be sure that it’ll last a lot longer than the classic two week long trip.
great and fast growing too. For very bold, colourfully striped foliage and screaming orange flowers try Canna ‘Tropicana’, or for a larger than life effect try the banana Ensetes ventricosum ‘Maurelii’ which grows very fast and has wonderfully rich purple-green leaves.
A tropical oasis might be particularly well suited to an urban garden, where temperatures are often warmer and conditions more sheltered and protected, but even if your garden gets its fair share of frosts you can still make an impact using a mixture of tender and hardy plants all of which have that exotic feel to them. Plant closely or fill ‘gaps’ with temporary plantings of the less hardy tropical look plants and you will create that dense, lush looks which spells tropical paradise.
If you want more than just foliage, the bulbous Eucomis bicolour has out-of-this world greenish yellow flowerheads which give it the common name of ‘pineapple plant’. Another favourite of mine is the Angel’s trumpet. These gorgeous looking plants may be very poisonous but the flowers of Brugmansia (previously known as Datura) as angel’s trumpet is also known, take some beating – choose white, yellow or cream and enjoy their perfume and elegant good looks. Although not hardy if you grow it in a pot it can be kept in the garden during all but the worst weather and then brought out again once it has started to warm up the following spring.
Lush, large leaves will always help to create a rainforest or exotic atmosphere and you could even grow a miniature banana called Musa ‘Basjoo’, which shows a good degree of hardiness. Indian shot plants, also known as the cannas are
Don’t forget the vertical surfaces such as trellis, walls and fences as they too can be given a floral and foliage makeover. These may look boring now, but will look great when covered with passion flowers, ornamental vines or the pretty Cobea
scandens commonly known as the cup and saucer plant. Then add to the ‘action’ using a few dramatic features – perhaps a Trachycarpus fortunei palm in open ground or a pot, or in the form of a sculpture or statue. If you go to the garden centre, many statues and garden ornaments are much more affordable than you might think. Partially hidden with some lush foliage they help to add to the jungle-like atmosphere. There are plenty of tropicaleffect plants to choose from including: tree ferns, phoenix palms, yuccas, cordylines, Rodgersia pinnata, Gunnera manicata, Rheum palmatum, cycads, citrus (including lemons, calamondin orange and other fruiting varieties) and bamboos. So, you see, the potential is there to create a holiday paradise without having to leave home, brave delays at the airport, find a house or pet-sitter…..all you need now is a deck chair and a cocktail or two, delivered on a tray!

A Very Brown Hedge Indeed! Aphids are one of the commonest and most troublesome of all garden insect pests. They attack a large number of garden plants throughout the country and recently have been causing much disfigurement to ornamental conifer hedges. Commonly referred to as Greenfly and Blackfly these aphids feed on hedges, sucking the sap of the plant and can spread several viruses, causing severe die back.
8
The current troublesome aphid is the Cypress Aphid which predominantly affects conifer hedging. The damage inflicted on conifer hedges by the aphid Cinara cupressi is severe and can lead to large brown patches on the hedge which leads to localised foliage death, reducing the aesthetic look of the hedge. As the aphid is active from May to October it is important to catch this problem early and apply treatments to stop its spread. At the first sign of brown patches telephone Bartlett Tree Experts for a free consultation and professional advice.

“A Great British Success Story” How Harvey Bowden rose from humble plumber to establishing the UK’s most popular water softener company... Harvey was born and raised in Cornwall – an area renowned for it’s soft water. So when he moved with his family to Surrey 40 years ago, it wasn’t long before they noticed a problem. Harvey’s wife Ann noticed how hard the water was and how much more time she was spending cleaning lime scale from sinks, taps and baths. The increased cost of soaps and detergents to deal with hard water also came as quite a surprise.
12
After mentioning the problem one day to her neighbour, she learned her neighbour had something called a ‘water softener’ installed, which eliminated these problems. Ann decided that she wanted one and so spent her own money to buy it. Harvey recalls “I was a plumber and thought it extravagant but when I installed it I couldn’t believe how good it was. So I started recommending them to my customers”. In the beginning... Impressed with his customer’s feedback, Harvey formed Surrey Softeners Ltd in 1978 and began supplying and installing Permutit softeners. Before long, he became the biggest ever Permutit water softener seller, installer and dealer. A few short years later in 1981, Harvey opened his first factory on Hipley Street in Old Woking and Harvey Water Softeners was born. Production began on a twin cylinder non-electric undersink water softener which he had developed from his experience fitting and installing softeners. Harvey improved his water softener by creating small blocks of salt to replace the old fashioned tablets, and continually works on making sure his softeners are the smallest and most efficient on the market.
The popularity of his softeners grew, allowing Harvey to build the business together with his family until it became the largest and most successful water softener company in the UK and instigated the development of the market. And today… Harvey Water Softeners are proud to be the largest manufacturer of domestic water softeners in the UK. With over 100 staff and over 200,000 happy customers, Harvey’s vision of a water softener in every home in the UK grows nearer. “Every home in the UK would benefit from a water softener because the water is hard. Hard water is unnecessary. If it makes sense for one person, then it makes sense for everybody. We all use water every day and hard water does not do any job nearly as well as softened water does”. When asked what his favourite benefit of soft water is, he happily replies “Showering and shaving in softened water is the thing I enjoy the most. The pure joy of clean water and the occasional wallow in a deep bath with real soap bubbles is wonderful. Also my skin doesn’t itch.” Although Harvey is now semi-retired and the day to day running of the business is in the capable hands of his son Casey, when he isn’t enjoying one of his many hobbies including vintage motorcycles and sailing he can still be found at the factory talking to his customers, assisting his staff or working on his next big idea.

Home & Interiors Victorian Style
14
It may not be the height of fashion, but there is much to be said for Victorian style, which is confident, distinctive and eminently comfortable, says Katherine Sorrell From society to science, politics to industry, the Victorian era was a time of enormous transformation. The middle classes expanded rapidly, and their homes became the perfect vehicles with which to show off both their newly acquired wealth and their cultural savvy. The result? An interior style that was exuberant, eclectic and often over the top. The high Victorian style was a riot of revivalism, and different periods were mixed with abandon. The main ‘Battle of the Styles’, however, was between ‘Greek’, (in other words, all types of classical architecture and decoration), and ‘Gothic’ (more or less any style reminiscent of Olde Englande). The main ingredients for Victorian living were not so far from where we are today, give or take a tweak in colour and pattern. Tiled hallways and polished, dark wood floors with a central rug featuring large, bold patterns set the scene,
By Katherine Sorrell
while patterned wallpaper was de rigueur. Wooden furniture was dark, solid and often very large, but we would recognise much of it, from dressers and dining tables to sideboards and writing desks. Upholstered seating was the major development from the preceding Georgian era. Coil springing had been invented in the 1820s, and Victorian sofas and chairs featured deep buttons and comfortable, curving shapes. Metal bedsteads were introduced to Britons at the Great Exhibition of 1851 – and have changed little in style ever since. As far as colour choices went, the Victorians loved anything rich, deep and vivid. These hues worked well with the dark brown furniture that predominated, but are best used judiciously today. That said, they can be most attractive in the right place: deep shades, such as crimson, claret, bottle green, sharp yellow, purple, mahogany, terracotta and Prussian blue, were preferred for sitting rooms, dining rooms and studies; paler and fresher hues were considered to be more suitable for bedrooms. Lighting has, of course, altered a great deal in the last 150 years or so. When Victoria came to the throne, oil and candle lamps were the only form of lighting in most homes, but during her reign first gas lighting was developed and then, at the very end of the 19th century, early electricity. There were a great many elaborate
and ornamental styles of lamp, including swan-necked brass wall lights, flower-shaped glass shades and china lamps covered with floral sprigs. The Victorian middle-class kitchen, used only by servants, was a very plain room, equipped with free-standing tables, with the sink in an adjacent scullery. And the bathroom only came into being as a separate room in the 1870s. Along with indoor bathrooms came distinctive sanitaryware – large, often colourfully decorated basins, and enamelled roll-top baths on ball and claw or scroll feet, much of which can be found in reproduction form for those with spacious enough rooms. Because Victorians considered bare rooms to be in poor taste, their houses were filled knick knacks, objets d’art and collections, some of which are right on-trend today? Other Victorian accessories have not stood the test of time quite so well, including black and white miniature portraits and toby jugs. Nor has a helpful kitchen accessory, employed for anyone unlucky enough to suffer from cockroaches – a hedgehog kept in a box.

Cake and Bake Caramel Apple Sponge Bake This delicious moist sponge makes a perfect pudding for a special lunch. Serve warm or cold with ice cream or a spoonful of tangy crème fraiche. 16
Ingredients: • 100g granulated sugar • 4 tbsp cold water • 2 dessert apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced • 200g self-raising flour • � tsp baking powder • 1 tsp ground cinnamon • 200g caster sugar • 200g unsalted butter, softened • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten • 3-5 tbsp milk • Icing sugar, to dust • Scoops of vanilla ice cream and lemon balm sprigs, to serve
Makes 9 squares Ready in 1 hour 10 minutes
1. Preheat the oven to 180C, fan 160C, Gas 4. Grease a 23cm square shallow cake tin and line the base and two sides with a baking paper. 2. Put the granulated sugar and water in a heavy-based saucepan and heat gently, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the syrup to the boil and continue boiling, without stirring, until the syrup has turned to a golden caramel. 3. Carefully pour the hot caramel into the base of the prepared tin. Arrange the apples slices over the caramel (don’t worry if the caramel has set). 4. Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a large bowl and add the caster sugar, butter and eggs. Using a hand-held electric whisk, beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Whisk in enough of the milk to give a soft dropping consistency. 5. Spoon the mixture over the apples and gently level the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until the sponge is golden and springy to the touch and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. 6. Leave the cake to cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes then carefully lift it out of the tin using the baking paper up the two sides of the tin. Cut into 9 squares and serve warm or cold, dusted with icing sugar. Top each square with scoop of ice cream and decorate with a sprig of lemon balm.
TIP
Replace the apple slices with peeled and sliced pears or try peeled and segmented oranges for a lovely citrus flavoured dessert.

CANADA 20
An Iconic Journey Through the Rocky Mountains
Whether travelling with family, as a couple or on your own, Canada is a diverse destination that offers something for everyone. With plentiful wildlife, friendly natives, Northern Lights viewing opportunities, adventure activities, gourmet food and wine, and
stunning scenery around every corner, Canada is a must for your next holiday with Southern Cross Travel! For an unforgettable journey, fly into Calgary, pick up your hire car and drive onto Banff and Lake Louise to explore the beautiful surroundings. Whilst here, let Southern Cross Travel book an evening wildlife safari for your chance to observe native animals in their natural habitat, or how about a horse ride over the Rocky Mountains? Visit the Columbia Icefield and ride on the Icefield Explorer to view the Athabasca Glacier, before continuing along the scenic road for a 2 night stay in Jasper. After your time here, board the iconic Rocky Mountaineer train – the most luxurious way to travel through the Rockies!
For that ‘Once in a Lifetime’ trip, Southern Cross Travel recommend an upgrade to Gold Leaf Service for panoramic views and 5* dining en route. After your overnight stop in Kamloops, re-board your train, arriving into cosmopolitan Vancouver – the city with snow-capped mountains for its backdrop. Stay in Vancouver for 3 nights before catching the ferry (or seaplane!) to Vancouver Island. Explore the island by car or coach, making sure you visit Butchart Gardens and don’t miss out on a whale-watching trip – a must-do whilst in British Columbia! If you have more time, drive onto Tofino for a chance to get close to the Black Bears, stay at a stunning eco-lodge to view Grizzly Bears or board an Alaskan cruise for a spectacular end to your holiday.
This journey is just an example of the bespoke Canada holidays that the Tailor-made Specialists at Southern Cross Travel can create for you. Contact your local, certified Canada Specialist to discuss your holiday options on canada@southerncrosstravel.co.uk or call the Southern Cross Travel team in Rye on 01797 229200. We will be delighted to arrange an appointment to plan and book your holiday to Canada.

Decorative Hop Garlands are the most beautiful natural garlands, picked fresh from the field at the end of August and hung in the home where they dry naturally to give all year round decoration. Ideal over fireplaces and agas, or on beams, over doorways, windows or on dressers, the traditional Kentish hop garland is highly sought after and now not as widely available as they used to be. Tractors run up and down from the hop gardens every day during the hop harvest to bring the freshly picked hops to the shop for customers to choose from. The hop harvest starts around 20th august until 15th September but you can buy the dried garlands all year round. essentiallyhops is nestled in a tranquil farm yard in the heart of the countryside just outside Canterbury there is an excellent coffee shop and other interesting businesses to make

Hobbies Are you Birding, Twitching or Watching? By Kate McLelland
30
In the late 1980s the arrival of a tiny American songbird (blown off course during its annual migration) in Larkfield, Kent, led to a mass-mobilisation of the nation’s bird lovers. Over the course of several days 2500 “twitchers” crowded into the small Tesco car park that the golden-winged warbler had chosen as its temporary home. In the 1980s a twitcher (the term for someone who is willing to travel many miles in order to see a rare bird at first hand) would need to rely on radio or TV reports, or home phone calls from fellow enthusiasts, in order to learn about a rare bird’s visit. Now, thanks to mobile communication, the news can be spread within seconds of the first sighting. Just this year 500 people appeared on a Norfolk beach in a matter of hours after a rare citril finch - normally only found in alpine areas of Europe – was first observed. Such devotion to searching out rare sightings means that twitchers often find themselves in the media spotlight, but not all bird hobbyists are twitchers. Twitching is just one aspect of a pastime that’s surprisingly broad and diverse, with activities ranging from a single individual recording birds in
their local area (usually defined as a “bird-watcher”) to members of well organised groups who come together to learn everything they can about bird species, including their nesting habits, environmental usage and migration patterns. These serious hobbyists are known as “birders” and some even travel the world, taking part in competitive events. The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) is the UK’s leading bird charity and it has done much to protect endangered species and promote bird welfare. The society’s “Big Garden Birdwatch”, which started over 36 years ago, has become an important annual event across the country: encouraging householders to contribute to research so the RSPB can record changes in bird populations. You can sign up for the Big Garden Birdwatch by going to the RSPB website (www. rspb.org.uk). Alternatively you may prefer to join one of the society’s local groups (enter a search for “Local Groups” on their website to find an A-Z list). Run by volunteers, these groups provide an opportunity for members to learn more about birds and wildlife and take part
in talks, walks and fundraising events. Birding UK (www.birding. uk.com) also provides information on a range of groups you can join, including “Birding Buddies”, “Bird Photographers”, “Bird Artists” and even “Birding Bikers”. If you’re just getting started as a bird-watcher you’ll find a range of mobile phone apps to help you identify birds and record sightings. Ranging in price from .69p to £12.99, some even provide examples of birdsong to help with identification but care should be taken when playing recorded birdsong in the natural environment, particularly at times when birds are nesting. Whether you’re a simple “bird-watcher” or a dedicated “birder” or “twitcher” you can be confident that you’ve chosen a hobby that will always offer interest, excitement and fresh challenges. As climate change continues to affect the natural environment - altering breeding and migration patterns - it’s good to know that keen observers are continually monitoring the nation’s birds, recording and passing on vital information that will help preserve these precious populations well into the future.

health & Lifestyle London to Canterbury Cycle Challenge Cyclists can take life by the handle bars on Sunday 13th September and enjoy a stunning 65 or 80 mile cycle ride from London’s Greenwich Park to Canterbury, Kent. The UK’s leading charity for children with brain injury, The Children’s Trust, are appealing for cyclists of all abilities to take part. Kim Derry, Events Manager for the event, tells us “the ride really is open to anyone. We have cyclists of all shapes and sizes, male and female, and of all ages, from 16 to 60! By signing up now, everyone has enough time to train, whether you’re a seasoned rider, or still need to go out and get yourself a bike”.
32
Riders meet at The Pavilion Café in Greenwich Park between 8 and 9am, where hot and cold breakfasts will be available. The route, planned and provided by professional Cycling Support Services, has been carefully thought out and is both well signposted and marshalled, with regular refreshment stops. Riders will explore the beautiful Kent countryside including the historic Pilgrim’s Way, before crossing the finish line to a much welcomed sports massage, along with a post-ride party, where friends and family are encouraged to join in the fun.
“The ride is just fantastic, and we’ve had some really amazing feedback from previous years. A lot of riders we see returning each year which is great testimony for us. We always encourage feedback, which means we are able to make continuous improvements to the event. This year stands to be the biggest one yet, and we are aiming for between 3 and 400 hundred sign ups”. For those coming from the Kent area, a coach is available to take cyclists up from Canterbury to the start line in Greenwich Park, a space of which can be booked via The Children’s Trust website. “This year we are working hard to create a great after party and we really encourage friends and family to meet their cycling heroes to celebrate. We’ll have amazing balloon creations, face painting for the children, music, stands & stalls, and a great selection of food including a BBQ, and an on-site café catering for healthier options”. Why not become part of The Children’s Trust’s biggest cycle event and sign up now? For more information and to take advantage of the earlybird sign up offer, visit www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk/ londontocanterbury or telephone 01737 364323.

Each word must be of three letters or more, all must contain the central letter and letters can only be used once in every word. There is at least one word that uses all of the letters in the wheel.
Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3 x 3 box contains the digits 1 through 9, with no repetition! That’s all there is to it, you solve the puzzle with reasoning and logic there’s no maths involved and no adding up. It’s fun. It’s challenging. It’s addictive!
