Welcome Hi everyone, welcome back, I hope that you and your family are well. As you know, we are going through unprecedented times, a new awareness of social distance is required by us all and our local businesses are doing their very best to find a new way of working that enables you to feel safe enough to take up their services again. I’m too young to have experienced the war, but I believe we’ve experienced something very similar to that wartime spirit that my mum used to tell me about, ordinary people pulling together for the common good. As we lived through lockdown my heart was warmed by the sheer number of people doing remarkable good for others, from physical help with tasks like shopping to emotional help, keeping our spirits up. Who knew that the digital world would offer so much for the common good, connecting everyone from 9 to 90 and creating internet stars! I consider myself fairly proficient when it comes to technology, but lockdown introduced me to the likes of Zoom and TicTok and there’s an app that will teach me how to do the splits (I didn’t get very far with that one – painful!). And then there’s our wonderful NHS and Carers, it goes without saying, I already know they were superstars. I am in awe of them all, they have something very special that I know I don’t have, I believe I’d crumble in their position – I’m a wimp! My hope is that this wonderful unity and drive for the common good will now reach out to our local trades that are struggling to get back on their feet. Not all of my advertisers are back up and running, it will take a little longer for some, but we do have some excellent trades that are ready and willing to be at your service, just pick up that phone and let’s begin on the path back to “normality”. My message is stark “Use Them or Lose Them!” Thank you, stay safe.

The Garden
A pond is a great long-term addition to a garden but it’s worth doing a bit of planning before you grab a shovel and start digging! Where to put a pond? Avoid anywhere close to or beneath deciduous trees, as their leaves will clog up a pond and cause methane gas to be released as they rot, which can be lethal to fish and pond wildlife if the surface freezes over in the winter. You should, however, avoid an extremely sunny, hot spot as too much sun will increase the likelihood of problems with pond algae. Try to avoid sloping sites as the water will always need to sit on the level, which could mean a lot of hard work shifting garden soil to create it. How to choose a liner There are three main types of pond liner: a pre-formed rigid liner (generally mid-price – the disadvantage is that you can’t choose exactly the shape you want); plastic that you buy by the metre (generally the cheapest option, but it may only last three or four years); and butyl (the most costly option but it lasts around 30 years, and you can create exactly the size and shape you require). What shape? Rather than making an intricate design for your pond, with lots of changes in level and a complex outline, create a simple shape as this will use less butyl liner and less underlay (the most
6
expensive part of creating a pond) and will be easier to install properly. Even the better quality butyl liners and good quality rigid liners should have an ‘underlay’ between them and the soil, as this dramatically reduces the risk of the liner being damaged and the pond leaking. You can buy suitable material for flexible liners or use old carpet underlay, while plenty of sand works well for rigid types of liner. What size? A larger pond is generally easier to maintain as smaller volumes of water are more likely to develop problems such as turning bright green with algae in the summer. The pond should be at least 45cm (18in) deep to minimise algae and to maximise the range of plants you can grow. Adjust the pond levels at the edges before laying edging material – this is especially important if you’re using a rigid liner. Edges must fit snugly in the hole as gaps increase the chances of damage – pack dry sand or garden soil down into any gaps. Large, rounded stones at the edge of the pond help animals to climb out and help to hide the uppermost and outermost edges of the liner, plus reduce the amount of soil entering the pond by mistake. Whatever the shape of the pond, remember to have a gently sloping beach at one edge to

expected to do the right thing. If you think they might be too small to understand, why not wait a year or more before you create your pond?
Don’t just make the vertical sides of the pond totally flat and smooth – build in some ‘shelves’, each wide enough to hold pots or pond baskets so that you can plant aquatics and marginals (bog-loving plants) that need shallower water.
Always ensure that you create the pond so that it is easy to get out of should someone or something fall in – avoid steep, straight sides and have a graduated exit.
A pond should be filled with rain water, but if mains water is all that is available in sufficient quantity, then you will need to allow it to stand for a week or so before adding plants or fish. This allows additives from the mains water to be reduced. What to plant? Always buy pond and marginal plants from a good supplier, choose those that look really healthy, and make sure that the plants you go for are hardy and so able to withstand the low temperatures of winter without special protection. The label should also tell you the depth of water they require and just how big they’ll grow. Make it safe Make sure that you explain the potential dangers to children – if they don’t know they cannot be
Consider fitting a strong galvanised metal mesh over the entire surface. Specialist pond suppliers or builder’s merchants should have something suitable. It needs to be strong enough to bear a child’s weight, and have a small enough mesh size for there to be no chance of a small foot going through it. Plastic netting is not enough. A small fence around the pond complete with lockable gate need not look too unattractive if clothed with climbers or painted an attractive colour, and can easily be removed once children are older.

Under New Management
New brooms are sweeping clean the Priory Equestrian Centre near Bilsington. Kate and Adam Prestidge moved in at the beginning of June having relocated from Leicestershire to fulfil the ambition of running their own livery and equine rehabilitation centre. “We’ve been looking for over two years to find the right place” said Kate. “The yard here at Bilsington Priory is everything we wanted” added Adam. “Large enough to expand when required, with enough stabling to cater for DIY, assisted, and full livery clients.” Facilities, which include a massive indoor arena, an outdoor arena, a seven furlong sand gallop, a grass gallop and 300 acres of off-road tracks through woodland and fields, will make Kate and Adam the envy of their many equine friends back home. Designated stabling and examination rooms will be a vital asset to Kate, a qualified equine sports massage therapist, with a background including hunting, polo, and several years in a senior administrative role with the British Showjumping Association. “We hope that having a qualified and experienced equine therapist actually on-site, will prove a unique selling point” said Kate. “Our facilities are suitable for all types and level of both rider and horse. From eventers to show jumpers, and dressage to happy-hackers, there’s something for everybody to enjoy here, not least the beautiful and peaceful location of the yard itself, on the privately owned Bilsington Priory Estate.” Once government guidelines permit, Kate and Adam will be accepting holiday liveries, for owners looking to enjoy a weekend away with their horse. “With Bed and Breakfast facilities available at the Priory manor house, just three hundred yards away, it’s a perfect location to have some time away with your horse” said 10
Adam. “We have a three year plan to have all 45 stables full” said Kate. “We expect to employ two or three additional members of staff as the need arises” she added. With all the DIY stabling already taken, and a growing number of full and part-liveries already stabled, the couple have employed their first member of staff. Sophie Miles, from Aldington Frith, started last month and has already made a name for herself. “‘Super Sophie’ we call her” laughs Kate. “She’s happy to help no matter how dirty the job - and does a wicked line in pizza, and bacon sandwiches for breakfast” For more information go to: www.centre-lineequestrian.co.uk

By Katherine Sorrell With comfortable, practical furnishings – and a dose of good weather – there is nothing nicer than eating al fresco. What could be more enjoyable than a quiet breakfast, casual family lunch or sundowner barbecue in the garden, on the patio or even on the balcony? These days we are treating our outside spaces more and more as an extra room, ‘furnished’ not only with dining chairs and a table but, increasingly, with comfy sofas and armchairs, coffee and side tables, lighting, exterior-quality rugs, raised bars and even pizza ovens or complete outdoor kitchens. Placing your dining furniture When it’s just a case of a quick cup of tea and a slice of toast, a small perching spot is all that’s required; perhaps a chair, bench, stool or arbour in a quiet corner with a pretty view. But for spending any time dining comfortably outside, a little more planning is necessary. Pick a place that’s not too far from the kitchen door so that you can get food and drink in and

out without too much fuss. But think about what the furniture will look like when viewed from the house – will it block your view of a favourite shrub, or enhance the overall setting? And there are some specific practicalities. Is there enough space for the required table size (including space to walk around it and pull the chairs out)? Is the ground level and dry? Is the area clear of overhanging branches? Will it be too sunny, or always in the shade? What to choose? The next big question is what type to buy. Consider what works best for your style of property, the overall look of your garden and your lifestyle. It could be: a bar set that takes up little space, ideal for drinks and nibbles; a large, formal table with six or even eight chairs for a classic dining experience; a casual dining set with a cushioned sofa and lower chairs; or a small bistro set for two. Options include dualheight tables that enable you to go from dining to lounging, or a gas-powered fire-pit table that provides warm, flickering flames for entertaining into the evenings.

Luxurious touches Adding outdoor cushions to your dining set adds a lovely dash of colour and pattern as well as additional comfort – and there are all sorts of extra touches you might wish to consider. A parasol, for example. But instead of a simple shade that slots into the centre of a table, why not a side-post parasol that raises, lowers, tilts and rotates, and that even comes with a light and a Bluetooth speaker?

lighting with an oversized garden chandelier or giant floor lamp, or a row of torcherès that lead to the dining table. Add an outdoor rug, made from polypropylene to withstand sun, rain or snow. And finally, how about a table-top pizza oven to cook you and your guests an authentic stonebaked pizza in minutes? Delicious.
Extend your evenings outdoors with flexible lighting If you are renovating your garden and have the opportunity to add some external lighting, it is well worth considering the additional investment. Not only will you be able to enjoy your outside space later into the evenings, but it will highlight interesting features, help guide you safely in the dark and provide additional security. Because a new outdoor lighting circuit must conform to Building Regulations, always use a qualified electrician. • A floodlight with a wide beam, set at least two metres off the ground, is effective at providing general light. Make sure it won’t annoy your neighbours, though.
• Wall lights are ideal for passageways and either side of an entrance. Consider security sensors that switch lights on when a visitor approaches. • Use spotlights to highlight specific elements, such as a sculptural plant or a water feature. • For a party atmosphere, wind, weave and swag strings of lights around trees, posts and trellises. • If you don’t have any outside power, consider solar lights or battery-operated LEDs. They are inexpensive and easy to install, and available in a range of styles from strings of fairy lights to candles and lanterns.

their experience is utilised to teach each student who attends The Learning Academy.
The Learning Academy Tutoring is an Ofsted registered centre which was founded in 2002. As a well-established tutoring centre they have had a positive impact on numerous students in east Kent. The TLA is managed and led by Surinder and Parm who have a combined total of over 50 years of teaching experience. In addition, they have held senior positions in both primary and secondary schools and are specialists in education. They have very high expectations of the children they teach. Each decision that they make ensures that the welfare and progression of every child is always of paramount importance. Surinder and Parm have have developed a system which enables the parents and children to work together during their 11 Plus journey. They have written thousands of 11 Plus questions and created a unique online resource for 11 Plus preparation called the ‘TLA Cloud’. Working alongside Surinder and Parm are only qualified, experienced and passionate classroom teachers who are DBS approved. All of their teachers have up to date experience of delivering the primary and secondary National Curriculum and 16
The TLA teachers have an innate ability to build an effective rapport with each and every student which is key to securing dynamic progress. Their mantra of ‘seeing the genius in every child’ is at the core of their teaching. Each student is treated as an individual and they don’t use a ‘one model fits all approach’. They use their expertise to further stretch the most able and also support the children who may need that additional assistance. Surinder and Parm communicate clearly with parents and provide incisive feedback at the end of every lesson to enable parents to be well informed and be an integral part in their child’s learning. The teachers ensure that each child achieves their potential with careful nurturing, teaching and above all compassion. The pupils feel comfortable in their learning as the family-styled environment achieves positive outcomes. Good mental health is important whilst students are learning and the teachers at the TLA always promote a positive mindset as they work with each student.
As an Ofsted registered centre they follow strict Safeguarding and Health & Safety practices therefore comply with the relevant child welfare legislation. Being Ofsted registered enables parents to pay for lessons using Childcare Vouchers. It also means that parents can take advantage of the government run Tax-Free Childcare scheme. The Learning Academy is passionate about making tutoring more accessible for everyone. Feel free to contact Surinder or Parm to see how The Learning Academy can make a difference to your child’s educational journey.

Steer Clear of Coronavirus Scams With the world grappling with a health pandemic, scams are shocking. Scammers are everywhere, always looking for opportunities, and they’re seeing one in the coronavirus.
88 be wary of anything that tries to play on
Cybercriminals take advantage of fear. They take timely concerns and use them to target victims. Using the anxiety and upheaval around coronavirus is their mission.
88
So far, several coronavirus-related attempts to cyberscam people have been reported. There are examples of:
88
88 emails that appear to come from government health departments
88 offering a tax refund to get people to click on malicious links
88 memos to staff that appear to come from
large employers 88 COVID19 test offerings from private companies 88 fake websites promising to sell face masks or hand sanitizer 88 soliciting donations to fund a vaccine.
What to Watch Out For
Another concern is the number of bogus websites registered with names relating to COVID-19. The site can look legit but is set up to steal information or infect the victim’s computer with malware. You may get an email promising the attached information offers coronavirus safety measures, or information shared by the World Health Organization (WHO) if you click on the link, or a similar email pretending to be from a reputable news source.
What to Do
Be cautious. It’s understandable that you’re anxious, but don’t let that stop you from taking cyber precautions. You should still:
your emotions and urges immediate action
88 question where emails are coming from –

remain vigilant even if the communication appears to come from a reliable source hover over links before clicking them to see where they will take you avoid downloading anything you didn’t ask for doubt any deals that sound too good to be true (“a mask that stops the virus 99.7% of the time!”) ignore any communications requesting your personal information don’t be suckered by fraudulent pleas for charity.
Global health organizations generally do not send out emails with advice. Instead, navigate directly to that reputable health institution for real news. If you’re still not sure about the validity of the communication, check it out. Do so by calling or using another medium to get in touch with the “source” of the received message. While there is not yet a vaccine for COVID-19, you can put anti-virus protection on your computer. Also, make sure that you’ve applied all available security updates to keep your software safe.

Make the most of the abundance of home-grown apples at this time of year with this delicious deep-dish apple pie. Serve with cream, custard or ice cream. Method 1. For the pastry case, roll out two-thirds of the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use to line a greased 23cm round spring-form cake tin (the pastry needs to come right up the sides of the tin). Chill in the fridge. Preheat the oven to 190C, 170C fan, gas mark 5. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat up. 2. For the filling, place the diced apples in a bowl and stir in the caster sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Spoon the mixture into the pastry case. Brush the rim of the pastry case with beaten egg. Roll out the rest of the pastry to a circle large enough to cover the filling, and drape over the filling. Pinch the edges together to seal then trim off any excess pastry. Brush the top with beaten egg. 3. Bake the pie on the preheated baking sheet for 40-45 minutes until the pastry is pale golden. 4. For the crispy topping, heat all the ingredients in a medium pan and let bubble for 2-3 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and gently spread the hot mixture over the top of the pie. Return the pie to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes until the topping is crunchy. Serve warm or cold.

Tomatoes FOOD FACTS:
Tomatoes originate from the Andes in South America, where they grow wild in what is now Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Ecuador. They were first cultivated by the Aztecs and Incas as early as 700 AD.

Tomatoes are more nutritious when cooked and even better for you if cooked with a bit of oil, as that helps the nutrients to be absorbed. The heaviest tomato ever grown weighed 3.51 kg – about the same as the average newborn baby.

The Importance of Posture By Catherine Rose
Posture can be defined as the way we carry and position our body throughout our daily physical activities. Poor posture can lead to a variety of muscular-skeletal issues including chronic pain and joint degeneration. It is therefore important that you are aware of best posture and aim for it, particularly if you spend a lot of the day in one position, such as sitting at a desk for example.
If you have had bad posture for a long time (and most If you have had bad posture for a long time (and of us do) it will feel very strange and alien at first when most of us do) it will feel very strange and alien you try to correct it, as the body wants to keep doing at first when you try to correct it, as the body what it is used to.

Continued from page 27 squashy chair that is too low and difficult to get out of may not be ideal. Likewise, your mattress should also support your back properly when you sleep. To check this, notice if your spine is straight when you lie on your side. If not, it may be time to change your mattress. Your pillow should also cradle your neck so that it is in alignment with the spine. Bad posture not only physically impacts on our body: it has also been proven to have a detrimental psychological effect, even leading to an increased risk of depression. Charles Darwin first scientifically proved the link between movement and emotion in his studies of humans and animals. Try this experiment. Stand in front of a full-length mirror and note how you are carrying yourself. If you are feeling stressed, tired, or sad, it is likely that this will be reflected in your posture: for example, your head may be drooping, your shoulders hunched, your weight unevenly distributed and your back rounded. Now close your eyes and evenly distribute your weight, straighten your legs (keeping knees soft) and then gently lengthen your spine and neck as much as you are able, vertebra by vertebra, tucking in the pelvis. Push your shoulders back and down then slightly lower your chin. If you can, smile. Now open your eyes. Not only will you be standing taller and straighter but you will almost certainly look and feel better too. If you have concerns about your posture and suffer from chronic pain, visit your GP who can refer you to the appropriate health professional, such as an osteopath, physiotherapist or chiropractor.

I practice aromatherapy utilising the benefits of essential oils.I prepare a synergistic blend of 3 oils that when blended correctly enhance their defined properties.A detailed consultation is given before commencing treatment to make sure the oils are safe. I also deliver swedish body massage (especially good for younger clients who require a more vigorous treatment to aid toning and stimulation of cellulitic areas). I am a mobile reflexologist of 10 years experience. The feet are a mirror of the body and during my work I have helped clients with poor kidney function and even prolonged the quality of life in terminally ill patients. I am also a trained sugaring specialist of 3 years experience. Sugaring stems back to the ancient Egyptian methods of hair removal. It is the gentlest;most effective method of hair removal with less regrowth(no re-growth in certain areas after years of regular treatment).Clients have said that hair grows back softer in other words you are not left with stubble like waxing or shaving because it does not break the hair it takes it right from deep down in the hair follicle. The treatment is also quite toning helping to reduce cellulite on problem areas such as hips and thighs and leaves you with a general feeling of wellbeing. I am also a qualified beauty therapist of 29 years experience proficient in many techniques such as facials; professional make-up application and gel nails.
