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 The Farriers in Mersham, my son is fully trained in the art of washing up and his best friend Ashley is a wiz at preparing vegetables - Happy Days!

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

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.

A CLEAN CHIMNEY IS A SAFE CHIMNEY Please Mention The

village directory When Responding to Adverts


I have been very good. Well, mostly very good. There is the small issue of Jane’s new rug that now looks a bit threadbare and I did smash quite a lot of jars of homemade chutney when I leapt onto the top shelf of the pantry (I did Clive a favour there- at least he doesn’t have to eat the stuff!) but I hope that Santa Paws will see beyond all that and that he will leave me plenty of catnip mice and dreamies. Ebony and I just love dreamies!

Mowgli Hello everyone, Mowgli here! Ebony and I can’t believe that it is nearly Christmas again! It is nearly time to find out if we have been good enough for Santa Paws to come. I have to admit that I am a bit sceptical about Santa Paws- I have a tendency to be a bit mischievous (hard to believe I know…..) but I always seem to get plenty of Christmas presents. Do you think that he knows that my heart is in the right place? This year

Quick Crossword

One thing is for sure- those goats won’t get any Christmas stockings- they are far too badly behaved! I wonder how many Christmases it will be before Joshua persuades Clive to get a donkey to go with the goats. Then there will be even more chaos in the house- donkeys are almost as stupid as goats! One of the other good things about Christmas is choosing presents for our feline friends. Ebony and I always take this very seriously and ask Clive to bring home a whole selection so we can choose carefully. This of course entails some serious playing, chewing and chasing of lots of nice catnip and feathered things. Then of course we get to keep the toys we have tried and Clive has to order more- works every year...... 2

the home I have also been thinking about my New Year resolutions. I think I might have to resolve to sharpen my claws on the rug a little less often. I expect Ebony will have to make her usual resolution of going on a diet. Josh should resolve to dribble less! He is always tottering up to us and giving us big hugs by nuzzling his head into us. Sometimes these hugs are almost nice now but both Ebony and I are always a bit damp afterwards and then of course we have to have a good wash and sort ourselves out. Anyway, at least he doesn’t pull our fur! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and I will write again in the New Year and let you know how we are getting on with our resolutions. I can feel my paws starting to tingle already at the thought of how lovely it is to scratch that rug.....

Video Tips Here are some straightforward tips to make your holiday and home movies sparkle. You don’t even need the latest HD camera wizardry, just a little technique and patience. by James Smith http://jamessmithwriter.wordpress.com

Common Myths

10

Some suggest that expensive film and video cameras will produce captivating films but the real skill is in how you use the equipment you own, to create an informative or interesting film. Even camera phones and small consumer video camcorders can produce impressive results if you work within their limitations. Your aim should be to obtain a video camera and start practicing.

Basics Let’s leap ahead to the final result, and the most common sin: making your film too long. If you shoot a five-minute video and make your friends wait for the ‘good bit’ at four minutes in, you will have lost your audience after minute one. So, above all other rules, cut out the superfluous footage and ensure your film is just a collection of those ‘good bits’ and nothing else.

Story Your holiday video or home movie might have a simple goal - to show granddad putting up the Christmas decorations – but you should think ahead about the story you wish to put across. Consider that old classic: the beginning, middle and end. Perhaps granddad could be approaching the house with a

big carrier bag (the beginning); then see him at work decorating the tree with the contents of the bag (the middle); and finally, a shot of him standing proudly beside the decorated tree (the end). The addition of a simple storyline will encourage more interest from your audience than a series of abstract shots.

Composition The great thing about working with video is that many of the principles of stills photography apply. So pick up any book on the subject and think about framing and composition. Keep the horizon level, try not to cut people’s heads off in the frame, keep distracting details (‘clutter’) out of the shot if possible, and keep the camera at eye level.

Light Harsh light is a videographer’s nightmare, so shooting at midday with the sun bearing down from directly above will cast unflattering shadows under the eyes of your subjects. Try to move people into softer light, perhaps in a leafy area or under some other shade. Similarly inside, be sure that people’s faces are gently lit, but also be careful that they are not silhouetted by strong backlight, such as standing against a window.

Audio

Many wonderful videos are ruined by unintelligible audio; the Best Man’s speech that’s inaudible because the cameraman was seated next to a child rustling sweet papers. The answer to this is to move closer to the subject, or even buy an external microphone that can be positioned very near to the subject with a cable back to the camera.

Editing Editing the footage is a great way to eliminate all of those boring shots that we mentioned before. Some cameras provide an editing facility, but this can be rather fiddly, so you might want to load the footage onto a computer and edit it with a program such as Movie Maker. Try to keep it simple - rely on simple titles, a great story with straight ‘cuts’ (rather than swirling patterns and fancy graphics), and finish off with ‘THE END’ to wind things up. Remember, follow these simple rules and practice as much as possible, and you’ll be surprised by how impressed your audience will be.

Ginger Christmas Puddings Serves 4

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: 14

• 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.

at Brabourne Lees Sunel and Dudley offer a warm welcome to The Plough Inn, a historic pub in the village of Brabourne Lees. Built in 1750, one of The Plough’s former incarnations was as an officers’ mess in the Napoleonic wars. It has retained its historic charm with numerous oak beams, inviting inglenook fireplace and a relaxed decor. “Dudley and I are both passionate about good food, quality and service. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa we decided to sell our restaurant and move to Europe. After a four year stay in Ireland we took a trip to England and fell in love with Kent and the village of Brabourne Lees.”

Tel: 01303 812169

“We decided that we wanted to share our passion for quality and service with you. We enjoy seeing people having a good time in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. So pop in, even if it is just for a chat and to meet us.” - Sunel

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’s one beauty craze you really must try out - eyelash extensions. 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.

20

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 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; a consultation should be carried out 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.

01233 714030 Open Tuesday to Friday 9-30 to 5-30pm Saturday 9-00 to 5-00pm Late Night Appointments Available

health & beauty 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 or wet them 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 12-15 lashes every two to 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 are fully trained. Ask questions to gain an understanding of the therapist’s skill. 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’s 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.

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!

22

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.
