FLOORING AT UNBEATABLE PRICES
Hi everyone, welcome to the first edition for 2020. I do hope you had a good Christmas, ours was very quiet this year, which is unusual for the Allen household, but as the family grows we’ve reached the point of needing to alternate between a small gathering and the full works. 2020 will be the year of the big one, and I’ll be hosting! It’s also a big year for us all because my lovely niece Sophie will marry Dan in September, so we’re all looking forward to the Allen’s event of the year. The magazine celebrates its 15th year in print this year and, as I mentioned previously, the four monthly editions covering the villages have now changed to three bi-monthly editions. At long last I’ll have breathing space to think rather than being on, what seems like, constant deadlines. As always do keep sending in your local events, and do please keep an eye on the Clubs & Societies page, especially if you’ve submitted an entry in the past, they will run in their current form unless you tell us otherwise. During the year we will be checking that details are current and any out of date items will be removed.

over the container edges. The plants can be bought from garden centres or by mail order at this time of year.
High-Rise Edibles Whatever the size of your plot, you can get more from it with high-rise gardening, with potential in hanging baskets, wall troughs and window boxes as homes for vegetables, herbs and even fruit. So, what does it take to succeed? Larger containers allow for more room for your crops’ roots and easier maintenance, as they will run out of moisture and fertiliser less frequently, though obviously you will have to balance this with the space available. Use suitable supporting brackets and screws for hanging baskets, window boxes and wall troughs, as they must support the weight of fully grown plants laden with crops, which will be heavier after watering. Check walls, balconies and windows sills will not be overloaded, leading potentially to structural damage or injury to passing people. Consider using lighter-weight composts, such as those not including loam or the readily available peat-

free options, and lightweight containers made of bamboo, plastics or fibre glass. Plant in high-rise planters are reliant on you for food, so use good quality compost and feed crops regularly throughout the growing period. In a lofty position the plants will also be more susceptible to drying out, so regular and thorough watering is a must. If space is short and you want to grow runner beans, the dwarf runner bean ‘Hestia’ with pretty red and white flowers is perfect for containers. The seeds can be sown directly into the compost in April, or raised in small pots or trays and then planted out into the high-rise planter. Dwarf French varieties do well in a good sized window box – try ‘Duel’, or the purple-podded ‘Purple Tee Pee’. Wall baskets, troughs and hanging baskets can play host to strawberries. These plants trail naturally so will obligingly hang
Forget the idea that lettuce is just a green, leafy addition to a boring salad – there are huge selections of lettuce and other salad leaves available in a wide range of colours and leaf shapes, making them a lot more attractive than many ornamental plants! Pinks, purples, yellows and several shades of green, they’re a fastgerminating and fast-growing crop and you can either buy small plants or sow the seed directly into the compost yourself. Try ready-mixed seed selections or choose your own favourites. If you like fresh herbs with your meals then herbs in a basket, trough or window box are a must. There are creeping or trailing forms of many herbs, and thyme in particular lends itself to life in a container in a sunny spot. You can usually get thyme plants at most times of year and, as it is hardy, you can plant it out straight away. Parsley, sage, tarragon, chives and basil all look good in wall baskets or window boxes and thrive in a sunny spot. Most of the oriental vegetables, such as the pak choi varieties ‘Red Choi’ and Mizuna will do really well in a window box or wall trough in a sheltered spot. You could combine the two and enjoy the really stunning finely divided foliage of the Mizuna positioned around the edges of the container where it will tend to ‘flop’ slightly and
The Garden make the container look all the more attractive. There’s even a prettily purple-veined Mizuna called ‘Mizuna Purple’. For a red and spicy theme you could also use ‘Mustard Red Giant’. Who can resist the taste of sun-ripened, fresh, juicy tomatoes picked sun-warmed and straight from the plant? Not me! And the great thing is there are several varieties which are particularly well-suited to growing in containers such as hanging baskets. The classic for this is ‘Tumbling Tom’, available in both red and yellow varieties, and the red-fruited ‘Tumbler’.
You could raise your own from seed sown at this time of year or buy plants ready to pop into the containers in late April or May. If you like tiny fruited tomatoes, then there’s ‘Hundreds and Thousands’. Other varieties that have a bushy habit can be grown in this way but the cascading varieties are best.
add some fire to your food in the months to come. Chillies are tender so buy these plants in May or June, or buy seeds and sow them now. By Pippa Greenwood

are great choices, while navy or dark grey are more neutral and perhaps easier to live with all year round. Don’t be afraid of trying out darker shades – not only are they very on-trend, but they are really effective at creating a feeling of cocooning comfort. Think about the other main colours and textures in each room. For warmth underfoot, throw down a deep pile rug or two to add extra softness, while at the windows it may be possible to swap sheer, pale, lightweight curtains or blinds for something heavier and in a bolder shade – think wool, tweed, velvet, even felt, denim or mohair.
Cosy up your home
Spring may still be a while off, but there are ways to make your interior more inviting, even in the midst of winter. Long, dark nights and chilly mornings can be made more bearable by some clever thinking in your home. To start, make sure your lighting is up to scratch. A well-designed lighting scheme reinforces a sense of security, comfort and vitality, and making dramatic improvements could be as simple as adding a floor lamp in a dark corner or a reading lamp next to a favourite armchair. For the best effect, layer lighting in the same way that an interior designer layers fabrics and textiles, ensuring that light comes from a variety of sources and directions. For a quick upgrade on a budget, replace main light switches

with dimmers, and plug in a selection of table or floor lamps at strategic points. Check that your bulbs give off the correct amount of illumination for the task at hand, and also that, where appropriate, they are a ‘warm’ white in colour rather than ‘cool’. Add the leaping flames of a log burner or a few pretty tea lights or candles (safely positioned, of course) for an atmospheric evening in. Colour can make all the difference to the feel of a room, and a quick paint job – perhaps just on one wall – can be transformative. Earthy or spicy colours such as claret, mustard, ochre or chocolate
In the bedroom, replace pale linens with sheets or a duvet cover in a deeper shade, piling on quilts, eiderdowns, bedcovers, throws and blankets, combining colours, patterns and fabrics for a glorious mixture that feels truly sumptuous. And in the living room, pile up cushions on sofas and armchairs for a sense of cosy luxury, then add some generously sized throws over the back: great for snuggling under. You could use a length of tweed edged with velvet ribbon, chunky knitting or crochet, fake fur or soft fleece. Draw the curtains, light the fire, pull on some fluffy socks, make a mug of hot chocolate and settle down with a good book or a favourite box set – baby it may be cold outside, but inside it’s warm, cosy and welcoming. By Katherine Sorrell
The Home
How to increase your home’s heat eff iciency • Insulate your loft. Use 300mm of quilt insulation, but retain some ventilation so as to avoid condensation. • Deal with draughts. At windows, fit rebated seals, secondary glazing or well-fitting shutters (which can be as effective as double glazing). Or use the old-fashioned method: heavy, floor-to-ceiling curtains with a thermal lining. Venetian blinds can come treated with a special coating to add more insulation, or you can invest in made-tomeasure blinds that feature a cellular structure to retain warm air.
• Doors will also benefit from seals or a curtain – a rising door curtain rod (aka a portiere rod) will hold the curtain out of the way when the door is opened. • If the suspended timber floor is draughty, seal any gaps at the bottom of skirting boards with foam strips, silicon mastic or slivers of timber. For gaps between floorboards you could use fillets of wood, pack the gaps with string or cord and finish with wood filler, or try a special gap filler that comes on a roll with its own applicator.
underlay with the highest possible tog rating. • Bear in mind that wood-burning stoves are far more energyefficient than open fires. • Help prevent heat loss from radiators – especially when fitted on an outside wall – by fitting tin foil (or special radiator reflectors) behind them to reflect the heat back in.
• When fitting carpet, look for

Cheats’ Apple Strudel
A classic strudel with home-made pastry can take a long time to make, but using a convenient pack of ready- rolled pastry means you can have a delicious fruity pudding on the table in less than an hour!
Ready in 55 minutes | Serves 6
Ingredients 2 large dessert apples, peeled, cored and chopped 50g raisins or sultanas 1 tbsp cornflour 50g caster sugar 2 tsp ground mixed spice 320g pack ready-rolled shortcrust or puff pastry Beaten egg, to glaze Icing sugar, to dust
TIP
Whipped cream, custard and fresh berries, to serve
20
Preheat the oven to 200C / 180C fan / gas mark 6. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Place the apples and raisins or sultanas in a bowl. Mix together the cornflour, sugar and spice and add to the apples, tossing to coat. Unroll the pastry but keep it on the paper. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the pastry a little thinner. With one long side facing you, spoon the apple mixture along the length, leaving a 2cm border at the edges. Gently roll up the pastry to enclose the filling and fold the pastry in at the ends (see Tip). Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush all over with beaten egg. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. Leave to stand for 10 minutes. Dust with icing sugar and serve sliced with whipped cream, custard and fresh berries.
Take care when rolling up the pastry and seal the edges by brushing with some of the beaten egg.
