The Sands Grooming Studio
Welcome to the village directory Hi everyone, Welcome to the December issue. Where on earth did that year go? It doesn’t seem long ago that we took the Christmas decorations down and now they are about to go back up again - that will make my husband happy (not)! Anyone reading this magazine over the years will know that I love Christmas. It’s an opportunity to be with the people you love and rekindle your inner youth. It can be stressful and expensive but, in my mind, the most enjoyable elements tend to be low cost, for example gathering together to share a laugh, play games and generally act like a kid again, add a little Dad dancing (as my son recently accused my husband of ) and we have a great Christmas. At least that’s what it’s like in my house, although I am prone to the odd thought of “Why do I do it?” when I see the perpetual pile of washing up. This year, thanks to one of our local pubs, my son is fully trained in the art of washing up and his best friend Ashley is a wiz at preparing vegetables - Happy Days! I don’t publish in January, this is the only time I have off throughout the year so it gives me the chance to clear my mind, re-charge my batteries and attempt to start the new year with a clean slate. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas, eat, drink and be merry, I’ll be ready with the hangover cures, local exercise classes and dieting options in the new year!

the garden
Fruit Planting The garden may be quieter than usual at this time of year, and certainly not likely to be yielding vast quantities of crops, but this near dormant time is perfect for planting fruit. by Pippa Greenwood You can grow fruit trees in surprisingly small spaces, training them to espaliers (so that they have several sets of horizontal arms), cordons (as single main stems grown at an angle), fans (with their branches trained in to a fan shape) or as stepovers, (trained so that they make a neat edging for a bed or border about 45cm or so above ground level). You could also use a fruit tree to create a decorative and later a wonderfully productive arch. At this time of year fruit trees are great value because they are sold ‘bare root’, lifted from a field
4
and not container grown. I find these establish particularly well and because you usually obtain them from a specialist supplier or nursery, the range of varieties available is second to none. You can either buy one year old ‘maidens’ and train these yourself, or if you want to save time, you can often buy trained or part trained forms. When you are choosing fruit trees it’s essential to get them on the right rootstock as this determines the ultimate size and vigour of the tree. Apples
are particularly complicated, but as a rule, for step-overs, cordons, dwarf bushes and trees in containers try the extremely dwarfing but somewhat tricky M27 - but beware weak varieties or any tree grown on this rootstock in a poor soil as it may well fail. For bush, cordon, espaliers and half-standard try the easier to look after dwarfing rootstock M26 and for a cordon or espalier on a poor soil, for arches and for bush trees try the semidwarfing MM106. You will need to choose the varieties you grow so that they can pollinate each other (if there is no suitable pollinator in the vicinity you will not get fruit) and on the basis of the taste and texture of the fruit and how well it stores and so forth. If you have space, it is good to grow apples for cooking as well as eating, or look out for those described as ‘dual purpose’, meaning they make very passable cookers as well as dessert apples. As well as tree fruits such as apples, pears and maybe even a medlar or a plum or gorgeous gage, you could also consider some delicious bush fruits. The great thing about these is that they take up even less space and again can often be trained into wacky shapes such as fan-trained or standard
the garden
bushes, making them all the more ornamental and easier to fit into the smaller garden. Then there are raspberries - on my rather heavy and very alkaline soil I tend to stick to the autumn fruiting varieties such as Autumn Bliss and Joan J, but on freer draining and acidic soils you can try some of the more numerous summer fruiters too. Bare root fruit trees, bushes and canes are generally available from about November through until early March, depending on the weather, so don’t delay, start ordering or better still, planting, today. Visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood. com for a great range of gardeningrelated Christmas gifts and stocking-fillers, including stylish ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ gift cards, handmade pottery herb planters, Pippa’s favourite weeding tool, signed books and lots of seriously useful garden items for your friends and family, or yourself.

the home THE LIONS FATHER CHRISTMAS IS COMING!
8
The much loved Tenterden Lions Club Father Christmas Float will be visiting many areas in and around Tenterden in December. For about forty years the float has been touring the streets to raise money for Charity. Last year, despite straightened times, we raised over £6000 and all of it was given to local, national and international charities. Look out for us outside the old Tenterden Library at late night shopping evening on 6th December when we will be collecting for the Tenterden Day Centre. We will also be collecting for the Day Centre outside Tesco’s on 20th & 21st December. Many residents, particularly the children, look out for the Float and say that it is a sign that Christmas is on the way! Christmas lights, carols and jollity from Father Christmas with his helpers dressed in capes and top hats all make up a really fun and atmospheric time and it is great to see groups of happy, smiling children with wondrous eyes waiting for us to come round the corner and cheer them on their way. It is gratifying to collect
so much, especially when people have saved their coins for months in anticipation of giving it to the float. So, the Tenterden Lions Club wish all the local residents a very happy Christmas and we look forward to seeing you in your area. Thank you all so much for the support you have given us in the past. The Lions are part of a world-wide organisation dedicated to serving others. We have great time raising money, providing a service to the community and having fun. We meet monthly and are always on the lookout for new members and if anyone is interested in joining us please contact Rod Macdonald on 01580-764705

Ginger Christmas Puddings Makes 6
Ready in 1 hour 30 minutes
These fruity mini puds flavoured with stem ginger are much lighter than a traditional rich Christmas pudding and don’t need to be made weeks in advance.
Ingredients: 10
• 175g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing • 175g self-raising flour • ½ tsp baking powder • 175g light muscovado sugar • 1 tsp each ground mixed spice and ground ginger • 3 large eggs • 100g dried mixed fruit • 50g glace cherries, chopped • 50g stem ginger, finely chopped • 4 tbsp stem ginger syrup • Softly whipped cream or brandy butter, to serve
Tip For a boozy flavour, gently heat the stem ginger syrup with 1-2 tbsp of rum or brandy then pour over the hot puds just before serving.
Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5. Butter six small pudding basins (each about 200ml capacity) and line the bases with circles of baking parchment. Place the butter, flour, baking powder, sugar, spices and eggs in a large mixing bowl and beat together with an electric mixer for 1-2 minutes until pale and creamy. Fold in the dried mixed fruit and two-thirds of the cherries and stem ginger. Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared pudding basins then cover each basin with a circle of greased and pleated baking parchment and secure with string. Cover each basin with pleated foil. Stand the basins in a roasting tin and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the basins. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until risen, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted into a pudding comes out clean. Leave the puddings to stand for 10 minutes then turn out onto serving plates. Mix the remaining cherries and ginger with the stem ginger syrup and spoon over the puddings. Serve with cream or brandy butter.

Life Begins “Pop-up” Christmas Parties: Top tips for last minute catering sandwich filling than buy the kind of packaged snacks described above. Keep a store of bake-it-yourself breads and savoury biscuits that can be served with cheeses, dips or fillings and combine fresh produce with foods sourced from cans or jars: my friend adds fresh chopped tomatoes or garden herbs to shop-bought dips and salsas to create an attractive, home-made look.

You know what it’s like at Christmas. There are those events that you, your friends and relatives have planned well in advance and then there are times when what was intended as a small get-together suddenly spirals out of control. Guests bring other guests and before you know it you’re hosting an impromptu, “pop-up” party for which you are completely unprepared. So how can you cater for unexpected arrivals over the festive season and still keep calm? Last Christmas when hosting a gathering at short notice, I panicshopped at my local supermarket, only to find that the eight bulky boxes of ready-made appetisers that filled my fridge were consumed by as many people in as many minutes, leaving a row of empty plates and a very red-faced hostess. My experience was typical of the dilemma we all face during the festive season. Being prepared for unexpected guests means keeping stocks of food ready to bring out at a moment’s notice, but most of us can’t afford to buy
fresh food on the off-chance that guests might drop in, nor do we have the space to store it. A friend of mine loves spontaneous gatherings and I’ve always been amazed by his ability to conjure up a veritable party banquet with hardly any advance warning. Following my hospitality disaster last Christmas, I decided to ask him for his top tips for last minute catering. Lack of kitchen storage space is an issue for most people, but never more so than at Christmas, when the fridge is stuffed to bursting point. His first piece of advice was to stock up on versatile grocery items that don’t need to be kept cold: tins of tuna, mixed beans, sweetcorn, dried pasta and rice, jars of mayonnaise, pesto and relish. To make the most of kitchen storage space at Christmas time, he keeps all these extras in a cardboard box under the bed. He also advises that anything you do store in the fridge for catering purposes should be compact – so it’s better to fill the available space with cheese and tubs of
When it comes to providing drinks for his guests, his simple solution is to chill beer cans and bottles in the garden. If the weather is exceptionally cold he’ll keep them inside, cooling in a bucket of water (although he’s always careful to keep alcoholic drinks away from children). To make the drinks go further, this perfect host makes a fantastic mulled wine, using cheap red wine diluted with lemonade. A shot of brandy, some sugar and plenty of Christmas spice makes a powerful brew that provides almost twice as many servings as the average bottle of wine. So, thanks to my friend’s good advice, I’ll be much more prepared this Christmas when people turn up at short notice. I can’t wait to see the amazement on my guests’ faces as I conjure a party feast out of thin air. By Kate McLelland

business Lasting Powers of Attorney – We have some good news As part of our regular series on legal matters, Rosalind Johnson, senior partner of Tenterden law firm Pengelly and Rylands, has some good news about Lasting Powers of Attorney. When was the last time the cost of anything went down? With the cost of living constantly on the rise, to find that the price of putting your future financial affairs in order has gone down is definitely good news. Since October, the Office of the Public Guardian has reduced its fee for registering a Lasting Power of Attorney from £130 to £110. So, if you are considering making an LPA – now is the time!
14
A Lasting Power of Attorney for Property and Financial Affairs is a document which, once registered with the Office of the Public Guardian, means that, should you ever become unable to look after your own financial affairs, someone you know and trust can look after them on your behalf, but only ever in your best interests. As the ‘Donor’ you can appoint up to four ‘Attorneys’ who can step in to help you with managing your bank accounts, tax returns, paying bills, claiming any benefits, or, if necessary, to sell any property and pay for the care you may need. But don’t worry that you might have control of your personal affairs taken away from you against your will. There are safeguards put in place, which include people being notified of your application to register the LPA, so that these ‘People to be Notified’ can raise any concerns they may have about the application. These might be friends or family, who you choose, who would have the opportunity to question whether putting the LPA into effect is really in your best interests. The other important role in the process is that of the ‘Certificate Provider’. This might be your GP or a very close friend who has to confirm that, in their opinion, you are not being coerced into making the LPA, and that you understand the significance of the authority
Rosalind Johnson Senior Partner you are giving to your Attorneys when you register it. It is also worth knowing that you can revoke the LPA at any time, if you change your mind, as long as you still have the mental capacity to do so.

Beauty Perfect Peepers - Eyelash Extensions If you want to enhance your eyes, fancy taking a few years off your age or maybe just want to make yourself look that extra bit special, then there is one beauty craze you really must try out eyelash extensions.
26
A favourite with celebrities everywhere and a must for anyone who wants a quick fix to looking gorgeous, eyelash extensions transform lashes from short and sparse to long and luscious in no time. They’re ideal for those all important occasions, like weddings and parties, where you not only want to look your best on the day, but look fabulous in the photos too. By adding shape and definition the extensions ‘open-up’ your peepers and leave you with pretty, seemingly lifted, younger-looking eyes. Extensions are widely available in salons across the country and are specially applied by trained therapists. Remember, a consultation should be carried
out prior to them being applied so that you can determine exactly what look you want to achieve. If you just want some subtle enhancement and a natural result then try a half set of lashes. However, if you fancy making a statement, then try a full set for a striking finish. You can choose how long, thick and curly your lashes will be. The Application Each individual synthetic lash is carefully bonded to your own eyelashes - 80 to 100 individual lashes are usually applied. During the application your eyes will be closed and protected. You shouldn’t feel any pain or discomfort during this process whatsoever.
The Results After you’ve had the lashes applied it is essential to not touch them or get them wet for a 24 hour period, as the glue will be still be setting. You shouldn’t need to wear mascara, but if you still want to, it’s worth investing in a water soluble product, designed for use with extensions - these mascaras are usually sold at salons which offer the service. Remember to use a salon recommended oil free eye makeup remover too. Staying Power Eyelash extensions typically last between six and eight weeks. Because they are attached to your own lashes they will fall off as your natural lash grows out. On average you’ll lose about 12 or 15 lashes every two to
health & beauty three weeks - that’s why salons recommend returning for touch-ups when needed to maintain the desired look. They’ll charge a small fee for replacing what has been lost. What It Costs Prices vary from salon to salon, but on average eyelash extensions will set you back around £80 - £120 for a full set, or about £65 for a half set. Be Safe Always be sure that the staff at the salon you’ve chosen to use for your eyelash extensions are fully trained. Ask questions to gain an understanding of the therapist’s skill - they should be able to answer any questions you have about the treatment and after care. Your therapist should carry out a patch test 24 hours before your extensions to ensure that you have no adverse reaction to the glue. Your eyes are extremely delicate, and precious, so make sure you have the test before the treatment. This industry isn’t regulated, so if you have any doubts about a salon or therapist, it is a good idea to see if they are a member of The British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology (BABTAC). Being a member of BABTAC means that they are qualified to perform the treatment and insured in case anything goes amiss. BABTAC stickers are purple and usually found in the window of a salon. So whether you have a special occasion you want to look your best for, or you just feel like injecting some glamour into your day to day life, why not try eyelash extensions – you won’t believe the difference they make to how you look and feel.

Cold Enough for Snow
28
Cold Mountain, Charles Frazier This is the story of two people: injured Civil War veteran Inman, and Ada, the woman who waits for him. To reach her, Inman must leave his hospital bed and walk the long way home to Cold Mountain. Of course, his epic journey means he encounters many a strange character along the way. Ada, meanwhile, has her own internal struggles to contend with as she battles with her upbringing and the future that Cold Mountain represents. This brilliant and beautifully-written book is one everyone should read at least once in their lifetime. You’ll be transported, without ever leaving your armchair. Snow Falling on Cedars, David Guterson With his hauntingly beautiful descriptions of the wild nature of America’s Pacific Northwest, Guterson’s story of a murder soon reveals itself to be one of a complex love triangle. It’s 1954 and well-respected local fisherman, Carl Heine is found dead in one of his own fishing nets. Local Japanese-American, Kabuo Miyamoto is accused of killing him. In the grip of a terrible snowstorm, the town of San Piedro is forced into dealing with its recent history, and a wave of Anti-Japanese sentiment following World War 2. To
Tom Jones once sang ‘Baby, it’s Cold Outside’, so as December descends why not curl up in front of the fire with our selection of books that will chill you to the bone…one way or another
complicate the matter, the local newspaper reporter is in love with Kabuo’s wife. If the snow falls and covers everything, is all forgotten? In Cold Blood, Truman Capote It’s 1959 and a Kansas family is brutally murdered. This hugely controversial book focuses on their two killers: Perry Smith and Dick Hickock. Whilst there’s little doubt that the killing of a husband and wife, along with their two children, is despicable, Smith and Hickock come across as alarmingly normal and recognisable. Capote has written a very clever true crime work of non-fiction, brought to us in the style of a novel. The whole thing is a bit disturbing really...and at the same time, you just can’t put it down. Into Thin Air, John Krakauer Sometimes the most extraordinary stories we read are those that are true. This is certainly the case in Krakauer’s account of 24 hours of hell at the top of Mount Everest. With photos documenting the scale of the ‘murderous storm’ that bore down on Krakauer and his fellow climbers, it’s clear to see why five lost their lives. Dealing with the guilt that comes from surviving such a disaster whilst others didn’t, Krakauer’s writing is incredibly compelling and the
retelling of the 1996 disaster will leave you gasping. The Spy Who came in from the Cold, John le Carré Spymaster le Carré’s thriller has stood the test of time with reading audiences continuing to be gripped by the powerful combination of love and betrayal that would leave Daniel Craig running crying to his mummy. Set in 1960s Berlin, spy Alex Leamas is basically ready to throw in the towel. Of course, ‘one final assignment’ always spells disaster ahead. Is this really a case of ‘mission impossible’ and will he live to walk away from this one? Frozen in Time, Ali Sparkes One for the younger readers is Ali Sparkes’ novel about two children who are ‘frozen in time’. Freddy and Polly were put into cryonic suspension in the 1950s by their father. But the experiment was only meant to be for a couple of hours; something went drastically awry. Enter Ben and Rachael, who unwittingly uncover the human ice-lollies. Suddenly it looks like the summer hols aren’t going to be so dull after all.
