Last month I introduced a new “Kids Corner” to the magazine featuring Dolly Doodles and the land of iDoo-B-Doo. The creators of this new feature are pleased to announce that they have just signed a new TV development deal with animation studio Flix Facilities, makers of Postman Pat, Old Jack’s Boat, and Rupert Bear, to name but a few. We wish them the very best of luck and hope that in the not too distant future Dolly Doodles and Tinkaboo capture the hearts of children everywhere. In the meantime I hope you enjoy this new feature and maybe pay a visit to the land of iDoo-BDoo at www.idoobdoo.com.

My son Luke recently passed his driving test and as a result has now taken over the delivery of magazines to various drop-off points around the area, so if you see a young man carrying piles of magazines, it might be Luke so do say hello and make him smile!

Garden Shed

Plotting a Vegetable Garden

by Pippa Greenwood

Even the smallest garden can find space to grow vegetables. Start now and you can enjoy delicious home-grown salads all summer long.

Producing useful quantities of your own vegetables doesn’t take up as much space as you might imagine. There’s a lot you can plant out or grow from seed right now that will give you some super-tasty, succulent, and top-quality salads in just a few weeks’ time. And salad leaves grown in ornamental pots can be as decorative as they are nutritious.

Before you get sowing or planting, choose the right containers. Big ones are easier to maintain than small ones; and of course bigger pots mean more produce. Go for something of at least 30cm (12in) in diameter, larger if possible.

As salad crops tend to be pretty short-term there’s no need to spend a fortune on compost. Ideally choose a good-quality multi-purpose compost, but you can get perfectly acceptable results with the contents of a growing-bag. I find the quality of the compost in

these isn’t all that brilliant, but for the time you need it – and provided you keep it well-fertilised – it’ll be adequate.

If you grow your own salad leaves you can get precisely the mix you like best. There are plenty of eye-catching lettuces such as the frilly Lollo, either a gorgeous bright-green standard Lollo a burgundytinged Lollo Rosso or a mixture of both. Treat them as cut-and-come-again crops, snipping off the leaves as you want them but not cutting into to the base, then they’ll put out new shoots and keep cropping for longer.

Baby beet leaves are a popular salad ingredient, too.

Choose a variety like Bull’s Blood for the prettiest leaves or grow any of the standard varieties, and you’ll also get a great-tasting root crop later on. I generally harvest the young leaves a few at a time but let the plant produce a root too.

There are still plenty of tomato plants in the shops now, but hunt carefully to find the ones that are still in top condition. If you choose an outdoor variety it can be grown in a pot on its own, and if you have a big enough container you can grow some other salad ingredients around the edge of the container.

the garden

Fresh herbs can make a salad more interesting too.

Choose your favourites and either grow them in a dedicated herb pot with extra grit in the compost for good drainage, or even consider popping a few in with your main crops.

Vegetables, like most plants, do best in a relatively warm spot with plenty of sun, so site your containers carefully. You want them to be easily accessible from the kitchen, but it’s more important to ensure they’re sheltered from the wind yet still get enough sun.

You may prefer to raise some of your crops in pots and grow them on a bit before planting them out.

The garden containers will always be full and looking their best, even while you’re harvesting them. The new plantings will very quickly blend in with the old, and all summer long you’ll have a garden that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the tastebuds.

If you’re after some fire in your cooking, a chilli pepper thrives in a pot in a warm and very sheltered spot as do sweet peppers.

Because of the variation in content which includes, radio plays, comedy, classical music, short stories and documentaries, Channel Radio’s Arts Hour has now become a firm favourite for many of the station’s listeners. Although the programme is broadcast between 2 and 3pm on Sundays, the majority of Arts Hour fans choose Channel Radio’s ‘Listen Again’ feature to access the programme when it suits them.

For like so many of the stations transmissions, The Arts Hour is available through the ‘Listen Again’ feature for seven days following the broadcast.

Furthermore, because of The Arts Hour’s popularity, the Directors have decided, many of the programmes are worth retaining, so have setup an Arts Hour archive on the web site. This means, as well as being accessible on Listen Again, many of the broadcasts will be available indefinitely . The archive can be accessed direct from Channel Radio’s home page.

Already available are the two plays

by Nigel Banks entitled Wigs & Knickers and Daddy’s Girl, My Life Behind Bars - the fascinating life of a prison warden - and two 30 minute programmes of humorous doggerel called A Collection of Verse Wot’s Humor-erse. These last two programmes were actually written by Clive Looker who then read the poems in the guise of Sam Ayres.

One of the highlights of last month’s Arts Hour was the hour long interview with Sammie Luck and her Idoobdoo team who readers will recognize as the new contributors to The Village Directory’s Kids Corner. Look out for another new feature of the Arts Hour which is, Culture Vulture, a monthly preview of what’s on in Kent. The first Culture Vulture was on 1st June and future programmes will be broadcast on the first Sunday in each month.

For full details of what the station has to offer, go to www.channelradio.co.uk/programmeschedule. Happy listening!

Glazed Chicken Kebabs with Sweet Potato Mash Serves 4

Ready in 25 minutes

These quick chicken kebabs with a tangy chilli glaze are perfect for a mid-week supper.

Sweet potatoes cook just as quickly as ordinary potatoes, just make sure they are cut into even-sized chunks and take care not to overcook them.

Thread the chicken cubes and onion wedges onto four wooden skewers. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and brush all over with sunflower oil. Cook under a medium preheated grill for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through.

10

Ingredients: •

450g chicken breast fillets, cut into cubes

•

2 small red onions, peeled and cut into thin wedges

•

2 tsp sunflower oil

•

1 kg sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks

•

25g butter

•

2 tbsp crème fraiche

•

2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

•

1 tbsp runny honey

•

2 tsp red wine vinegar

•

1 tbsp fresh chopped coriander

•

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Meanwhile, boil the sweet potatoes in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water for 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain well, then mash with the butter and crème fraiche until smooth. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Place the chilli sauce, honey and vinegar in a small pan and simmer for 1-2 minutes until syrupy. Brush half the glaze all over the chicken kebabs and grill for a further 1-2 minutes.

Serve the kebabs on the sweet potato mash with the rest of the hot glaze drizzled over.

Garnish with fresh chopped coriander.

TIP

For an extra fiery flavour add some finely chopped fresh red chilli pepper to the glaze.

D-Day 1944: Democracy 1 Tyranny 0

By Ted Bruning

14

On 6 June we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the victory of democracy over tyranny. And while most of the coverage of this great day will rightly focus on the unflinching selflessness of the 50,000 Allied soldiers, it’s worth sparing a moment to contemplate why democracy won.

The young men confronting the Third Reich on D-Day may not have known it, but the soldiers opposing them had already been fatally undermined. A leadership that was corrupt, incompetent, divided, toadying and alternately swollen with pride and prostrated by fear, had made so many idiotic decisions over the past two years that no heroism on the part of its troops could redeem it. And at the heart of all the doubledealing, betrayal, and rottenness stood Adolf Hitler.

After the invasion of Russia, Hitler more or less retreated to his Eastern HQ, surrounded by a small cadre of placemen, yesmen, courtiers and cronies who told him only what they thought he wanted to hear. He governed via a maze of overlapping bureaucracies fighting for his favour. And despite his remoteness he insisted on making even the smallest tactical decisions himself.

This chaos effectively crippled the Germans defending Normandy. They had almost no armoured support. Rommel, the commander on the ground, knew

that tanks couldn’t move from rear to front because of Allied airpower, and wanted the armour right at the water’s edge. To the commander of Panzer Group West, Geyr von Shweppenburg, this was heresy. Hitler’s compromise was that the armour should be divided between them, but that von Schweppenburg couldn’t move without Hitler’s express orders – which, of course, came too late.

Then there were the mythical divisions in Kent and Sussex that appeared to threaten the Pas de Calais. Their existence was conjured up by Allied deception specialists, and 15 German divisions remained north of the Seine to meet them. But these divisions had been fabricated by German army intelligence as part of a plot to discredit Himmler’s rival intelligence agency.

There should have been a fleet of war-winning jet fighters overhead, for the Germans had been ahead of the Allies in the technology. But Hitler cancelled work on a feasible jet because a crony, Willi Messerschmidt, persuaded him to favour the Komet rocket-plane instead. As a result the Me262 didn’t appear until far too late.

The occasions on which Hitler accepted bad advice that chimed with his preconceptions and fantasies and ignored sound advice that didn’t, are too numerous to relate; but they cost

the Germans dear on D-Day, and they probably cost Germany the war.

And here’s the contrast between tyranny and democracy. Churchill wasn’t short of bad ideas himself, trying to stop Nazi bombers by dropping parachute mines on them being one. And the Allied leaders argued bitterly.

But Churchill and Roosevelt surrounded themselves with strong, capable advisers who weren’t afraid to argue their corners. Dowding, in charge of Fighter Command, threatened to resign in May 1940 when Churchill proposed to send more fighter squadrons to prop up the French. And Churchill bowed to his superior judgement!

The Allies made mistakes. But the reason that the 159,000 troops who landed in Normandy broke through with fewer than 5,000 killed was that their leaders weren’t driven by fear of a despot; laid rational plans based on professional expertise and sound intelligence; and represented a society that could bury its differences and make sacrifices in defence of shared values.

On D-Day, democracy proved to be strong and tyranny weak.

Explore Stunning South Africa With Southern Cross Travel

T

he holiday experts at Southern Cross Travel love a destination which offers a multitude of holiday experiences in one place, and South Africa is certainly one of those countries. Whether you are a city dweller, a wine fan, a lover of coastal scenery and magnificent beaches, or if you want to seek out the ‘Big Five’ on safari, South Africa has it all (not to mention the fantastic exchange rate which makes activities and eating out very low in cost!).

Start your holiday in Cape Town, staying for 4 nights at the world famous 5* Cape Grace Hotel. Enjoy views of Table Mountain from the Whisky Bar before exploring the beautiful V&A Waterfront.

On your first full morning, take an escorted tour up Table Mountain for stunning views of the Cape, followed by a morning city tour taking in the colourful Bo-Kaap area, Company Gardens, the Castle of Good Hope and vibrant Long Street. Over the next two days, take a tour of the famous winelands – Stellenbosch and Franschhoek – and explore Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope to see where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.

After a fantastic 3 days, it is now time to say goodbye to Cape Town and fly up to Durban. Stay overnight at the wonderful Beverly Hills Hotel and enjoy dinner overlooking the Indian Ocean. In the morning, start your 3 day escorted Heritage Tour. Your first stop is the iSimangaliso Wetlands Park for a boat trip to view crocodile, hippos and numerous bird species in their

natural habitat. Continue to Hluhluwe where you shall discover the Zulu way of life. Watch the pulsating traditional dancing and enjoy the drumbeat of the Zulus echoing in your ears at a traditional Zulu village. Now onto Zulu Nyala Game Lodge in the malaria-free Hluhluwe Game Reserve for a 2 night stay. During your time here, enjoy an early morning open vehicle game viewing in Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve, home to the ‘Big Five’ plus an abundance of other animals including zebra, giraffe, cheetah and wildebeest. After your safari, relax at leisure around the pool before enjoying an early evening game drive. Watch the sun set over the savannah and return to your lodge for cocktails and star-gazing.

Tomorrow, wake early for a sunrise game drive before being driven back down the Elephant Coast to Durban.

Stay for another night at Beverly Hills Hotel and enjoy your last morning at leisure around the fabulous pool before flying home.

Whether this is your first time to South Africa, or you have visited previously, Southern Cross Travel will tailor-make your dream itinerary to suit your exact requirements. Our experts will ensure you have a safe and pleasant journey, and are always on hand during your travel planning, prior to your holiday and whilst you are abroad.

Having a Reiki Treatment

What’s The Alternative: Reiki Origins and Principles Reiki (pronounced ray-key) loosely translates as ‘life force’ or ‘spiritual energy’, and is a natural healing practice developed by a Japanese Buddhist, Dr Mikao Usui. Since its introduction in 1922, different traditions and forms have developed.

Reiki practitioners believe they access a life-force, of which we are all part, and transfer this energy to their patient during treatment. They claim that this helps patients reach a state of equilibrium and stimulates their natural regenerative abilities, allowing them to begin healing themselves of any physical, mental, or emotional dysfunction. Every practitioner must be ‘attuned’ and taught by a Reiki master.

26 6

A Reiki session usually lasts up to one hour, beginning with an initial discussion about the patient’s health issues. Then the patient lies down or sits on a chair in a relaxed position. They remain fully clothed while the practitioner transfers energy by lightly placing their hands on the patient’s body (or holding them just above) in a series of non-intrusive positions, starting from the head and working down the body. They don’t use massage or manipulation, and while some patients report feeling sensations, others do not. Some practitioners offer distance healing, prearranging a time when the patient lies down comfortably to receive treatment.

Efficacy and Evidence As yet, there is no scientific proof of Reiki’s efficacy.

The Reiki Council state that Reiki shouldn’t be regarded as a cure for conditions, but rather as a natural form of healing that can support and enhance other treatments; practitioners aren’t trained in diagnosis. There are now National Occupational Standards for professional Reiki practitioners, which are available at https://tools. skillsforhealth.org.uk/competence/show/html/ id/2809/.

I talk, smile and eat as if I have natural teeth. The treatment involved no pain, just minor discomfort.

Your chair side manner was exemplary.”

business Wills: Fact and Fiction As part of our regular series on legal matters, Gill Snow of Tenterden law firm Pengelly & Rylands looks at common misconceptions about Wills.

There are many common misconceptions about Wills and believing the myths may cost you and your family dearly.

28

The most obvious one is that you don’t need a Will, as everything will pass automatically to your spouse. This is not necessarily the case, as under the Intestacy Rules, which apply if a person dies without a Will, your spouse is only entitled to the first £250,000 of your estate and, for their lifetime, the income provided by investing half of the remainder, the other half being divided between any children in equal shares. If a couple own their property as tenants in common, then this may mean that the widow or widower does not receive even the whole of the spouse’s share of the home, if it is worth more than £250,000.

The Intestacy Rules also make no provision for friends or charities, so if you do not make a Will shares of your estate may pass to relatives you rarely see and your estate will be administered, not by Executors appointed by you but by administrators appointed by law. If you have minor children it is also advisable to appoint guardians to look after them in the event that both parents die. This ensures that someone you trust to bring up your children in the way you would have done can step into the role if the worst should happen.

Another common misconception is that you are free to leave your share of a jointly owned property to whomever you wish in your Will.

If you own your home jointly as tenants in common then this is the case but if, as many people do, you own your property as joint tenants your half share will automatically pass to the other owner. You can, however, change the way you own your property by ‘severing’ your joint tenancy to convert it to a tenancy

in common. This is a fairly simple procedure which involves one owner serving notice on the other and then informing the Land Registry of the change. Once this has been done you are free to leave your share of the property to your children or to anybody else. Other joint assets, such as bank accounts, pass automatically to the surviving joint owner, whatever your wishes may be.

Country Eye Promoting Rural Safety Country Eye is a scheme led by Kent Police to benefit people living or working in rural communities. The aim is to help reduce crime by allowing the Police and communities to share information quickly and effectively.

Modern technology plays an important role in this.

After registering as a Member, information relating to crime in the local area is then conveyed by Kent Police using e-mail, enabling members of the scheme to be aware of immediate risks and to help keep an eye open for any criminal activity.

stress that they would rather have lots of calls that come to nothing, than miss the one call that assists them in their fight against crime.

If you would like to be part of this Scheme please contact Alex Harrington on 01303 289083 or give me a call on 07734 174363.

Private Care Service at Bedtimes

Our Private Care Service carers can come to your house and assist you ďŹ rst thing in the morning and / or last thing at night. 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. Overnight Sleep-in Care is also available from 10pm to 7am.
