Weclome to the February & March edtion of the magazine. This issue marks 4 years since I took over YND. I always valued the role of a local magazine when I was just a reader like you. Being able to flick through the pages for local events, find a number of a local business or indeed store the magazine for future reference was invaluable. Now of course I know straightaway who to call!

PUT THE WOW INTO 2018 Christmas and New Year are joyously festive times which cheer up those cold, dark winter days. But there is just one downside – we are all tempted to eat and drink too much and, despite our best endeavours, most of us get a shock when we eventually pluck up the courage to check out our weight on the bathroom scales. In a strange way, it’s good that Christmas comes just before New Year because new year is a time when we all resolve to make all sorts of changes (for the better!) to our lives. There’s no point in dwelling on the food and drink follies committed in December, and perhaps it’s better to regard those delicious seasonal treats as something that were thoroughly enjoyable, but the rest of the year will see you exercising iron willpower as you attempt to lose those excess pounds. Embarking on a slimming regime by yourself is hard, especially if you are still preparing ‘normal meals’ for the rest of the family. That’s why you need the help of a professional – and you’re fortunate to have a nutrition and fitness expert in this area. Lynda Loakes has some 25 years’ experience in running classes and has helped thousands of her class members to achieve their goals of losing weight and, just as importantly, improving fitness. Lynda’s classes are called WOW, not only because they are an amazing experience but because the letters stand for Work Out With Lynda. When it comes to diet, Lynda advocates sensible eating which, once learned, will become a lifelong habit, not a ‘once every so often’ attempt at a quick fix. Lynda encourages ‘eating clean’ and all her menus involve cooking from scratch, using ingredients that provide just the right balance to keep the body healthy and fit.
Don’t be put off, though, if your skills in the kitchen leave a little to be desired because Lynda’s recipes are simple and easy to follow, and time spent in preparation and cooking is kept to a minimum. Even better, the meals taste superb! Lynda is very aware of the challenge that losing weight presents. She has been there herself so is keen to offer plenty of support to others. Fully trained in all aspects of nutrition, she helps class members to achieve their goals in a friendly and caring way. Each class starts with a private, one-to-one weigh-in, followed by a motivational talk. The exercises that follow cater for all ages and abilities and include high intensity fat-burning, muscle strengthening and overall posture and fitness improvement. Each week’s class is different, and Lynda has a wonderful sense of humour which creates plenty of fun and laughter. Lynda also runs one-hour long fitness-pilates courses. Pilates exercises are not strenuous and are suitable for all age groups and fitness abilities. They aim to enhance flexibility, build strength and develop a strong body core which improves balance and co-ordination. So why not go along to one of the Work Out With Lynda classes. You’ll be sure of a warm welcome from Lynda and her very friendly class members. Lynda offers newcomers the first class FREE OF CHARGE – so you’ve nothing to lose. Class times and venues are as follows:Monday – Fitness pilates course. 9.30 -10.30 a.m. – Highfield Hall, 320 Carshalton Road, Carshalton SM5 3QB; and 6-7 p.m. at Banstead Day Centre, The Horseshoe, Banstead SM7 2BQ. These courses run for four weeks and must be booked in advance. Tuesday – Diet and fitness classes. 6.00-7.30 p.m. and 7.30 to 9.00 p.m. – Banstead Day Centre. Wednesday – Diet and fitness classes. 12.00 to 1.30 p.m. – Highfield Hall, Carshalton; 6.30-7.30 p.m. Milton Hall, Coopers Crescent, Carshalton SM5 2DL. Thursday – Diet and fitness classes. 6.45 to 7.45 p.m. – Holy Family Church, Sorrento Road (off Stayton Road), Sutton SM1 1QU

News, updates and more ground breaking strategy from Fine and Country. Spring 2018 – We are past the dreaded start of the year and are easing into new colour and life. What does 2018 mean for you and how do you want to shape it? With below average property stock availability your chances of selling for higher prices have increased for the first time since 2015 (the last time the market markedly increased). The unbalanced effect of greater buyer numbers than sellers will make for rich pickings from the savvy seller. Choose your agent wisely though as the cost always relates to the service and advertising you will receive which in turn relates to the interest levels; we have just sold a property which had been on the market with another agent for over 3 months with success. Valuations and advice are always free so ensure you include us for a more rounded sensible opinion on selling. Two interesting additions to Fine and Country which will help bring a one stop property service to you, are our new Auction house and a new Fine and Country lettings department within our Cheam office. The modern method of auction is a 24/7 online platform that gives properties an even greater chance to be discovered by the right buyer, who can simply view, bid and buy. Providing lettings from our base in Cheam was a simple choice. As the sales office goes from strength to strength interweaving a lettings choice allows us to provide more opportunity for both sellers and landlords. We cover Epsom, Ewell, Banstead, Cheam, Sutton, Carshalton, Wallington and Worcester Park. Look out for our Spring edition of the Fine and Country magazine coming your way soon!
