Welcome

From 9.30am to 8.30pm, Charing Heath

Hi everyone, welcome to the October edition.

Where has the year gone? 2019 is disappearing at an alarming rate, by the end of the month it will be time to change the clocks again!

Remember they go BACK this time!

With just two more editions to prepare I will soon have Christmas on my To-Do List! Which leads me on to the frequency of the magazines. Next year will see great change for me, as of February 2020 the four monthly magazines will change to bi-monthly i.e. every other month, and therefore matching the other three magazines. I‘ve been considering a change for some time, I began the Aldington Area magazine 14 years ago and never imagined that this would lead on to six other magazines, growing to encompass so many homes across this borough and beyond (not quite to infinity and beyond but it sometimes feels like it!). I also never envisaged the difficulty in taking a holiday when there is so little time between deadlines. I turned 60 last year (there you go, I’ve finally put it in black and white!) which made me realise that I needed to tweak things a little. At the same time I could resolve the confusion for my advertisers surrounding the mix of monthly and bi-monthly magazines.

So as of February 2020 it’s all change. I’m also reviewing the boundaries of each magazine area in order to balance the coverage, after all Ashford and its surrounding areas have grown so much in 14 years, and I’m sure there’s more to come, although hopefully not too much more.

Until next time, have a great month.

The Garden You can use a pile of rubble or broken bricks to create the classic mound shape, as this will be hidden later by the good-looking rocks.

The rubble pile should also ensure that drainage remains good for the plants later on, as alpines typically hate being too wet.

The Rock Garden Is Alive…

4

If you have ever dreamed of Sound of Music landscapes, then why not get on and create your own? Maybe there’s not room for an entire mountain range in your garden, but there may well be space for your very own rock garden. So what do you need to do?

or run down between them or over their surfaces. Where the water runs over rock there will be no need to install a special surface, but beneath rocks you can use guttering or drainage pipes, making sure that they are hidden either by soil or rock outcrops.

You’ll need to choose a fairly sunny spot, ideally away from overhanging deciduous trees – most alpine plants like a fair bit of light and detest becoming clogged up with deteriorating leaves.

Old chunks of concrete will just look like a rubble pile with plants!

Even if space is limited – and it always seems to be – make the rock garden on as large a scale as possible; it’ll have far more impact and planting opportunities, and more of a realistic feel. If possible include some gullies running down the rock garden, perhaps ending in a pond or pool. This means you will need to arrange the rocks so that water can trickle

Get yourself a good selection of rock. However tempting it might be to recycle the chunks of concrete left after you’ve done a bit of large-scale DIY, the end result will look like a rubble pile with plants!

There are local and mail-order suppliers who will have just the sort of material that will look great.

Use upturned turves on top of the mound, laid grassy side down to stop all the soil to be placed upon it from slipping down amongst the rocks. You need a layer of sandy soil, to a depth of about 30cm (12in), over the top of the turves. Using string and pegs mark out where you want to create each outcrop of rock – if you just stud your mound of soil with randomly inserted bits of rock it’ll end up looking like a pudding, not a rock garden!

Once the soil is well-firmed, use a spade (or a trowel if you are working to a smaller scale), to carefully dig out a hole for each rock. They need to be embedded in the soil so that they are properly secure and won’t shift even in heavy rain.

Keep the rocks wellpositioned and secure by using smaller bits of stone beneath them to wedge them firmly. Next, add some more soil over these bits of stone and then more soil between the rocks when they are all in position.

Water it well to settle the soil and top up if necessary.

The Garden When it comes to choosing plants you can get alpines in nurseries and garden centres now, but generally speaking those plants that are looking their most showy will be on prominent display. So, buy just a few plants when you are ready to plant up the rock garden, then go on further shopping sprees throughout

next spring and summer – this way you can get an array of alpines to provide flowers and interest throughout most of the year.

Arrange your plants, still in their pots, on the surface of the soil. When you are happy with how they look, use a trowel to make a planting

hole, then remove the pot, pop the plant in the hole, and fill in around it with some compost. When you have finished planting you can top-dress the soil surface with good-looking horticultural grit or gravel.

for cheap ‘how to’ books that can teach you a new skill.

Pick a retirement hobby while you are still working Retirement beckons, and with it the opportunity to do the things you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t had time for. However, research by the Skipton Building Society has shown that we don’t always follow up on our dreams of an active retirement: apparently many of us start to feel bored and undervalued within just ten months of stopping work.

According to the Age UK Index of Wellbeing in Later Life, the rate of our general wellbeing can increase by 20% if we simply engage with the world around us, whether that’s through social activities in the community, physical activities or creative pastimes.

10

Finding the right hobby can help you make new friends and give you a sense of purpose, which ultimately benefits both your physical and mental health. But here are so many options, it’s often hard to know where to begin.

Sociable hobbies Joining a choir can be one of the most rewarding ways to spend your leisure time. It’s estimated that a staggering 2.8 million Britons now belong to a choir, and recent research has shown that group singing is a particularly fast way to create social bonds – in other words, it’s a speedy short cut to making new friends.

Other ways to meet people include volunteering at an animal shelter, joining a book or film club or local amateur dramatic society, helping at a charity shop, or starting a social media group such as a neighbourhood watch.

Home alone If you want something you can do at home, creative hobbies such as upcycling furniture, card-making or jewellerymaking could be perfect. Get inspired by the speedy arts and crafts videos available on YouTube or scour charity shops and second-hand bookstores

Buy vintage jigsaws and share the completed pictures with friends online, write poetry or short stories, take up knitting or baking or learn to fix up an old car.

Alternatively, find a pen pal in the UK or overseas with the help of clever phone apps that make it easy for you to chat to people all over the world.

The great outdoors Exercise is important for health. Whether you choose something like metal detecting (which you can do on your own) or Nordic walking (which you would normally do as part of a group), there are so many hobbies that encourage you to explore the great outdoors and get fit in the process.

Fishing, trainspotting, birdwatching and amateur astronomy are also popular and will encourage you to get out and about in the open air.

Although you may be tempted to put off choosing a hobby until you’ve finally finished work, the evidence suggests that it’s a good idea to have a plan in place.

With a little preparation you should be able to walk out of work and straight into a life filled with exciting new possibilities.

The Home of years of beautiful patina.

Solid-wood engineered boards are cross-bonded for stability (meaning they won’t warp or move, which solid timber is prone to), making them a good choice with underfloor heating, while cheaper, but less long-lasting, are either a multi-layered or veneered wood floor, where the surface is a thin layer of hardwood attached to a base of cheaper wood, MDF, cork or plywood, or a woodeffect laminate floor, in which a photograph of wood is bonded to a chipboard base and protected with a high-pressure laminate surface.

Fab Floors

From traditional wooden boards to soft carpet, funky rubber to classic stone, flooring is fundamental to the look and feel of a room.

What flooring where?

Flooring must be practical. For the hall and probably the living room, too, the toughest, most durable flooring is best, while a more delicate type will be fine in a spare bedroom. For kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms and conservatories, consider how well it will withstand spills, splashes and general humidity. Choose the right flooring for each space and it will both look good and last.

What Lies Beneath

Timber Beautiful and hard-wearing, timber floorboards are available in a range of colours and patterns. It is often possible to recondition an existing wood floor by mending or replacing damaged boards and sanding carefully, then finishing it with oil, wax or lacquer. If not, choose new hardwood from an environmentally friendly source or seek out recycled boards from an architectural salvage yard – these have the advantage

Carpet Soft, warm and quiet underfoot, carpet comes in two main types: woven, which is harder-wearing and more expensive, and tufted, the durability of which is related to its pile height and density.

Carpets are classified for light, moderate, general, heavy and extra-heavy domestic use. Select a tough carpet for a hallway: perhaps an 80:20 (wool:nylon) twist classified for heavy domestic, while for a living room a combination of a luxury look with a robust performance, such as a loop or velvet pile, would be best.

A spare bedroom carpet could be more delicate – a velvet or Saxony classified for light domestic use, for example.

For a seamless look, lay carpet suitable for general use throughout. Carpets are

The success of any flooring depends on the sub-floor underneath. It must be level and dry, with no protruding nails. A good quality underlay will prolong carpet life and add comfort and insulation, while laying thin sheets of board may be necessary to prepare for sheet flooring such as vinyl or lino. Before laying heavy stone tiles, the sub-floor may need reinforcing – check with your builder or a structural engineer if in doubt. Tiles are best laid onto a smooth concrete or cement-based backer board.

inadvisable in kitchens and bathrooms.

Natural fibres In a wide range of colours and weaves, sisal, coir, seagrass, rush and jute are warm and soundproof and, often, good value for money. The rougher the surface, the more hard-wearing it will be – so sisal and coir may feel uncomfortable underfoot at first. Jute has the softest feel, but is the least durable. A stain inhibitor is advisable.

lifetime and have a beautiful, individual grain and patina. In areas that might become wet and slippery choose a version that is matt or slightly textured – sanded for a rough finish, or riven for an attractive, hand-split effect. Ceramic tiles are heat- and water-resistant, hard-wearing and low maintenance. They vary widely in price and come in a vast array of shapes, sizes and designs. Unglazed terracotta tiles (or quarry tiles) are rugged and non-slip.

relatively inexpensive and very easy to clean. Lino is a traditional material made from natural ingredients, while vinyl is a PVCbased man-made material, which comes in a huge range of textures and patterns. Cork is hardwearing, resilient to water and offers an interesting, natural look.

Rubber, good-looking, practical and tactile, is available in smooth or textured designs, the latter ideal for bathrooms. Rubber floors should be laid professionally.

The Home

Fall into a good book this autumn The Dutch House – Ann Patchett This is a book about the bond between siblings, the repercussions of past events that echo down the years and the attachment people can feel for a place. In this case, the place is a big, grand house, and the siblings are Danny and his big sister, Maeve. Their mother flees when Danny is just a toddler, leaving Maeve to step into her shoes. When the children gain a stepmother, they soon learn they’re not welcome in their own home and the future they had planned comes tumbling down. A beautifully written, gentle book, The Dutch House is one to savour.

Come autumn, the garden is a bit easier to manage, so it’s a good time to start planning for next year. This book is packed with practical advice, from designing walkways to revitalising borders and building water features.

Step-by-step instructions, bright photos and illustrations, and an easy-going writing style make the process of garden design all the more enjoyable.

It’s Vintage, Darling! How to be a Clothes Connoisseur – Christa

Tall Tales and Wee Stories – Billy Connolly

Dip in when you need an instant pick-me-up after a bad day. (Just don’t read it on the train, unless you don’t mind snorting with laughter in public.)

Christmas Papercraft – Patricia Moffett Planning to make your own decorations this Christmas?

This book makes it easy, with templates and step-bystep instructions. There are tree decorations, lanterns and a festive winter scene for a shelf or mantelpiece, as well as greetings cards. Thirteen designs are included altogether.

For most, all you need is some paper, a craft knife, glue, a cutting mat (ideally), and fifteen minutes’ peace and quiet.

Leek, Aubergine & Tomato Gratins Simpler to make than a vegetarian lasagne, but just as tasty. Serve with crusty bread and green salad for a family supper.

Ready in: 55 minutes | Serves 4

Ingredients 1 large aubergine, trimmed and thinly sliced 3 tbsp olive oil 1 large leek, trimmed and halved widthways then cut into strips 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, crushed 600g bottle passata (sieved tomatoes) 2 tbsp tomato puree 2 tsp dried oregano Pinch of sugar Salt and freshly ground black pepper 200g ricotta cheese

TIP

150g mozzarella cheese, sliced

28

Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas mark 7. Brush the aubergine slices with 2 tbsp of the oil. Heat a large cast-iron griddle pan and cook the slices (in batches) for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly charred and just tender. Set aside.

Blanch the leeks in a large pan of lightly salted water for 1 minute then refresh under cold water. Drain well and pat dry with kitchen paper.

Heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat.

Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes then add the garlic and fry for a further 1-2 minutes. Add the passata, tomato puree, oregano and sugar and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until reduced and thickened, stirring frequently. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Spread some of the sauce in the base of four shallow individual gratin dishes. Cover with half the aubergine and leek then spread more tomato sauce on top. Crumble over the ricotta cheese.

Cover with the rest of the aubergine and remaining sauce.

Top with the mozzarella and the remaining leeks. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling.

Top with a sprinkling of grated Parmesan (or vegetarian Italian-style hard cheese) mixed with brown breadcrumbs before baking to give a lovely golden crispy crust to the finished dishes.

Fast Fixes

From chapped lips and dry skin to acne, tackle your skin or hair dilemma quickly with one of these problem-solving, wallet-friendly mini-marvels.

Aromatherapy’s Tea Tree & Aloe Skin Rescue Stick, £4.50. The blend of antibacterial tea tree oil and witch hazel treats blemishes, while the aloe vera moisturises skin to prevent peeling.

Puffy eyes or chapped lips? Try Nature’s Kitchen Skin Nourishing Eye and Lip Treatment. This little multi-tasking genius is packed with nature’s finest skincare ingredients, from aloe vera, jojoba oil and avocado to cocoa butter. It even includes hyaluronic acid to boost hydration. It’s very rich so you only need a small amount to tackle fine lines, puffy bags, dark circles and dry lips. Use it as a night-time treatment, or as and when needed.

It’s £10.99 at www.lovelula.com.

Tackle spots with Tisserand

30

Super dry skin or mild eczema? Try an oat bath. Pop a handful of organic porridge oats into the foot of an old pair of tights and tie a knot. Drop your oat bomb into the bath while the water is running. It’ll send the water all milky and you can use it like a sponge. It’s a simple treatment, but incredibly effective.

If you don’t have an old pair of tights, put the oats in a sieve and hold it under the tap.

Feeling a bit meh now the days are closing in and the sun has decided to hang up its hat? Try adding a splash of colour with a bright nail polish. Peacci nail varnishes are vegan, cruelty-free and available in a range of shades.

They’re not gloopy (unlike some polishes), so are easy to apply and mistakes can be wiped off with a tissue if you’re quick. You’ll need two coats for a flawless finish. It’s £10 at www.peacci.com.

If your hands feel dry and cream isn’t helping, the answer may lie with your hand wash. Liquid hand soaps usually contain sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), which some people can find very drying. I try to avoid it completely as it makes my hands so dry the skin starts cracking. Thankfully, there are plenty of SLS-free handwashes and bars of soap out there – www.faithinnature.co.uk, www. naturisimo.com and www. biggreensmile.co.uk have lots to choose from. Or just pop into your nearest Holland & Barrett.

Hair feeling dry and parched after the summer? Coconut oil could be your saviour. You can find it in some supermarkets and health-stores, or buy it online. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature so scoop up around a tablespoon of it and use the warmth of your hands to melt it. Then just smooth it through your hair (avoiding the roots), leave for half an hour and rinse out. Coconut oil is packed with fatty acids and minerals so works like an intensive conditioner. You can also use it as a body oil and cleanser. (And for cooking of course.)
