Welcome Hi everyone, welcome to the Jun/Jul edition, here we are again at the beginning of summer and lots of summer activities and events are set to take off. We have had far more events submitted than we can fit into this magazine, it’s pretty full at the moment, I’ve even had to sacrifice the crossword and Clubs & Societies. I plan to increase it’s size for the next edition so they will return next time. We have focussed on the more local events for this area but added all events to our website. So if you interested in events beyond Romney Marsh, do check out the Events page on our website. The website will also continue to be updated beyond this month’s magazine.

This month marks the 14th anniversary of The Village Directory, 14 years of print deadlines, and every one of them met by the skin of my teeth!

Then just as I thought I was getting the hang of it - I was blessed with the menopause! My brain was shot to pieces and I was on fire. I sat in my office at the bottom of the garden with electric

fans placed strategically and my shirt tucked up under my armpits as I typed. Luckily I’ve cooled down now, and the fans have now gone, although I’m still pretty hot, my husband says temperature-wise! Other than constantly going through the alphabet in my head to retrieve names and words, by which time the need for them has often passed, I’m feeling pretty normal again, thank goodness! So bring on the next 14!

Until next time, have a great month, I’ll be back in August.

Most houseplants hate poor drainage, so do make sure that the compost is free-draining and always add crocks at the base of the pot. Consider adding additional grit or perlite to improve drainage.

Gardening

• Once the plants have been repotted, place them in a cool, relatively stress-free environment for a week or two and avoid putting them in hot or direct bright sunlight. Keep them adequately but not overwatered and the roots will soon start to move into the new compost.

• Once they are happy in their new pot, give them a bit of a bath. Well-moistened kitchen roll or cotton wool can be used to wipe the leaves clean.

anything from outdoor dining to practising meditation, and will enhance the overall look of your garden, too.

Garden buildings: Take the inside out A well-designed outdoor structure, whether for work or relaxation, can make a wonderful addition to a garden.

The humble garden shed is the last word in practicality, indispensable for storing everything from halfused pots of paint to lawn feed and balls of string. But why be satisfied with just a shed, when other types of garden building can be much more glamorous – and equally useful? From pavilions to pods, summerhouses to shepherd’s huts, all sorts of outdoor structures are possible, provided you have space for one in your garden.

Most garden buildings are considered ‘permitted development’ They take many forms, from quirkily decorative to all-singing, all-dancing, year-round rooms – an open-sided gazebo, for example, might simply be a shady space in which to relax on a hot, sunny day, while an insulated, secure room could be an invaluable home office (and potentially save you the fivefigure sum it costs to move to a bigger house). In short, an exterior home-from-home can be used for

If you are considering adding a garden building of some kind, the best place to start is by assessing your outside space and considering how much square footage is available. It is important to leave a reasonable amount of garden to enjoy (and so as not to devalue your home).

What do you need the structure for? If it is simply a cosy nook in which to put your feet up with a glass of wine after a day in the garden, a small, circular gazebo with a diameter of two or three metres may suffice, while a craft room, for example, would need to be more spacious, and a home office might be much larger still.

Whatever you decide on, whether off the shelf, customised or entirely bespoke, is limited only by your imagination and your budget – and sometimes by whether you’ll be granted planning permission. Most garden buildings are considered ‘permitted development’, but it’s vital to check with your local authority. If the structure is going to be larger than 15 square metres, or used for sleeping in, then it will have to pass building regulations, too.

Bear in mind that, unless you have been granted planning permission to do so, you can’t put an outbuilding in your front

How much will it cost? A small, DIY timber summerhouse should cost less than

£1,000 – but you can easily spend a five-figure sum on a garden building, depending how large and lavish you go (David Cameron’s shepherd’s hut is said to have cost around £25,000). It really makes a difference whether the structure is conventional timber frame or high-performance structural insulated panels, while finishes such as cedar cladding and plastered walls all add up. For a fully functioning, year-round garden room, £10,000 to £20,000 is a very rough guide; but do check whether your quoted price includes gaining the necessary permissions, groundworks, connecting utilities, delivery and installation.

garden, nor can it be higher than 2.5m if it’s within two metres of a boundary. You’ll also want to think about how close you want the room to be to your house, whether the ground is sloping, where there are trees or other potential obstructions, how the sun falls at certain times of the day, and which way you want the windows and door to face.

Next, go into detail about function. Do you want heating, lighting, plug sockets and maybe a kitchenette or bathroom?

If so, unless you’re opting for solar or wind power, consider how you will connect utilities.

Insulation is vital (think walls, floors and roof if the space is going to be used beyond the summer months), and so is good

security. If anything valuable is going to be stored in the space, glass windows (perhaps even double glazed) are better than plastic, and a sturdy door with a proper lock will be necessary.

Some may prefer rustic simplicity, perhaps a yurt with solar lighting and a sheepskin rug, or a thatched rotunda with a deck chair and weather vane, but others may opt for full-on opulence, which may take the form of underfloor heating, floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors, an entertainment system, cinema set-up, ensuite bathroom, a green roof or a hot tub.

When you want the exterior of your home to look beautiful, you should consider employing an experienced property treatment company.

Removal of ugly stains from walls and roofs will soon give your home the street credibility it deserves.

Render and roofs on modern properties quickly become stained with fast growing ancient Cyanobacteria. These bacteria are mainly green, blue, red or dark black swathes of organic matter colonising and infesting your property. When thinking of how to remove these mosses, lichens and moulds, most of us think about using a pressure washer. However, this harsh pressure can damage the very surface you are trying to clean. At the very best, pressure washing will give the organic matter a quick haircut, which then grows back much quicker and thicker than before.

SoftWashing is the modern solution to treat and clean the exterior of your property.

All types of exterior surfaces such as, roofs, cladding, render, brick and stone can be treated with a SoftWashing system. Using advanced SoftWashing systems, surfaces are treated to kill the microscopic bacteria which is left behind by pressure washers, achieving a 100% kill ratio. Surfaces which have been SoftWashed treated maintain longer lasting results. These results last four to six times longer than pressure washed surfaces alone.

Many homeowners believe render on their property is maintenance free. Often when the render becomes discoloured by infestations of biological growth, they believe the surface needs painting. This is not a wise or costeffective thing to do. A fully trained SoftWash Systems professional can soon have the render looking brand new.

Purple Rhino was the first UK company to adopt the SoftWash System method of cleaning & treating exterior surfaces on homes and businesses. We offer free fully written 16

quotations and site visits, where our services can be explained in more detail. For those too busy to make an appointment we offer an online quotation tool.

We would be delighted to be of service to you.

Please call 0800 1577484 or visit our website www.purple-rhino.co.uk to learn more about us.

The owner of the Purple Rhino, Darran Smith, has been in the exterior cleaning business for over thirty-five years. Darran is also the director of his second business, www.softwash-systems. com. SoftwashSystems specialises in teaching and educating other cleaning companies on how to comply and safely operate as a softwash system professional. Purple Rhino is based in Ashford, Kent and covers the UK.

The Shepherd & Crook

Burmarsh Has Charity at its Heart!

Gayna and Shaun Murphy are the husband and wife team running the Shepherd & Crook at Burmarsh.

They firmly believe that the village pub should be at the heart of the community, which is why they actively support numerous charity events.

In 2018 The Shepherd & Crook raised over £4,000 for various charities and are now aiming to beat this figure in 2019, having already raised £690 for the Burmarsh Children’s Fund and The Dogs Trust. The biggest success of last year was the Guide Dog Family Fun Day, which amazingly raised over £2,400.

They are hoping to repeat this success on Saturday 22nd June with another Guide Dog Family Fun Day. The fun starts at 12pm with a coffee and cake sale and tombola, there will be a bouncy castle, face painting, a plate shy and children’s games. There will be live music in the afternoon, with Crooked Style headlining at 4pm, and a charity auction in the evening. To tie in with the Fun Day, the Shepherd & Crook are also hosting a Mini Beer Festival with six real ales on the day, 10p from every pint of real ale sold will be donated to the Guide Dogs.

The Shepherd & Crook is also holding a second family fun day on the 10th August, this time raising funds for Kent Air Ambulance On the 3rd Wednesday of each month the Shepherd & Crook hosts a CARM Coffee morning at 11am. CARM is a local charity that reaches out to the lonely and elderly members of the community.

As well as their support for the community, Gayna and Shaun strive to offer great real ales and cask ciders, plus delicious home cooked food, catering for vegetarians, vegans, dairy free and gluten free. Their Sunday roast is extremely popular so booking is advisable.

You’ll find lots of live music throughout the summer at the Shepherd & Crook, and the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month is Open Mic night.

The Shepherd & Crook is a quintessential village freehouse, full of character and antiquities, and quite unique in its old world charm. We wish them all the best for fund raising success

Summer Berry Sponge Puddings Smothered with warm berry compote, these delicious lemony sponge puddings will go down a treat after a Sunday roast. Serve with a dollop of crème fraiche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ready in 1 hour 10 minutes | Makes 4

Ingredients

Thoroughly grease four 175ml pudding basins with butter. Preheat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas mark 5.

115g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing

Place the butter and 115g of the sugar in a bowl and beat together until pale and creamy. Beat in the lemon zest then gradually beat in the eggs, adding 1 tbsp of the flour if the mixture starts to curdle. Fold in the rest of the flour with the milk to give a soft dropping consistency.

225g caster sugar Zest of 1 lemon 2 medium eggs, beaten 125g self-raising flour, sifted 1 tbsp milk

Divide the mixture between the pudding basins and cover each with a square of pleated buttered foil, scrunching it tightly around the sides of each basin. Transfer to a large roasting tin and pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the basins. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until risen and firm to the touch.

300g mixed summer berries such as redcurrants, blackberries, raspberries and blackcurrants

Meanwhile, place the berries in a pan with the remaining sugar and 2tbsp water. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-6 minutes until the fruit has softened. Stir in the blended arrowroot and simmer, stirring all the time, for another 4-5 minutes until thickened.

2 tsp arrowroot blended with 1 tbsp cold water

Turn the hot puddings out onto serving plates and spoon over the warm fruit compote. Serve immediately.

You can replace the fresh berries with the same amount of frozen mixed berries, if liked.
