From the Publisher

A s I write this page, the first England football World Cup match has taken place against the USA withthe score being a one-all draw and whilst this magazine is being printed, there are a further twomatches to be played. Let’s hope they do us proud. But that’s enough of the football, let’s turn to

other stuff.

My partner, Matthew, and I popped over to the Isle of Wight for a few days to get away from work. Weboth work from home and it’s almost impossible not to turn on the computer and work over the weekends,so a self-imposed break was what we needed. I had never been to the Isle of Wight before, what a prettylittle island and as it’s only 27 miles wide, it takes very little time to get to any destination on the island.Needless to say, that little break is a distant memory, but it certainly re-charged the batteries for a fewdays.

I’m absolutely over the moon, as ever, with my front cover, this month it’s a close up of a kingfisher thatAndy Newbold snapped whilst out on his travels along the Mole river. He’s a lovely little chap, thekingfisher that is, although Andy’s alright too!

Once again, I have been inundated with requests from local organisations and I am more than happy toinclude articles to help with their fundraising or just raise awareness of their good works. One such causeis the Chernobyl Children’s Life Line and how we can help these children live a toxic-free life for at least afew weeks a year. Their plans for summer 2010 are already in place, but they are looking for your helpnext year, all the info on the charity and contact details can be found on page 30.

A few hours before I went to print, I was sent a report from the Rotary Club on Ashtead Village Day 2010,along with some photos of the awards presented by television’s Nicholas Owen, page 18.

Surrey Hills Onward Learning commences its new term inSeptember 2010 and I have included a taste of what’s on offer onpage 44. I’ve attended a few courses with SHOL over the years,one of which was propagating plants and I’m delighted with howwell my garden has done as a result of all the guidance I received,both from John our tutor, and my fellow students, it was great fun.I also did a course on the Tudors, a period of history which I adore,go on ask me anything about Henry VIII or Queen Bess...

Leatherhead Safety Day is being held on Friday 2nd July, sponsoredand organised by Surrey Police and Mole Valley Council along withother well-known businesses in the area.

Denbies appear twice this month, firstly for winning the GoodHousekeeping award for best English Sparking Wine -congratulations to them; and secondly for setting up the SurreyBacchus Marathon and Half Marathon with Events to Live (sistercompany of Ashtead’s Run to Live) this September, details on page79.

I am delighted that Meredith Worsfold has begun sending in theodd ‘Meredith’s Memories’ articles again, the first one appears onpage 72, it’s a really touching story this month.

There is an enormous amount of events this month and, for thefirst time, I have had to separate the ‘What’s On’ pages todistinguish from the regular events to the one-offs and not-so-regular events, I hope you find a local event nestled within thosepages that you enjoy.

Roll on summer...

During recent months I have spent moretime in and around the village. This hasbeen interesting in many respects and ithas enabled me to gain a clearerunderstanding of some of the issues withwhich many are concerned.

The strongest impression I have gained isthe increasing impact of traffic. Thismanifests itself in several ways. Perhapsthe most pervasive is parking. Problemswhich have particularly struck me recentlyare those arising around many local schoolsand parking in Grove Road and thesurrounding area. I also gained theimpression that the volume of traffic on theA24 has increased significantly in recentyears. Any obstruction to the free flow oftraffic seems to cause significant delaysand the turning from Woodfield Lane andsome other junctions onto the A24 hasbecome more hazardous, especially at peaktimes.

Speed is also an issue and one which I amaware is a cause of great concern to some.I have the impression that most of the timein most places most drivers are responsibleand are anyway often constrained by othertraffic. There appear however to beexceptions and the evenings appear toattract faster drivers, especially on somethrough roads, including my own. Havingrecently had both my cats run over in theearly evening, presumably by speedingdrivers, I am now highly sensitised to thisproblem!

I have also been struck by recent examplesof over-development. I will resist thetemptation to cite examples which havebeen granted planning permission but oneapplication which struck me as having beenespecially inappropriate and inconsiderateto existing residents was a proposal at theend of Aquilla Close.

These and other issues will inevitablyincrease and they need to be managed. Abalanced, informed and clear voice isneeded. We try to provide this, workingclosely with councillors and representativesfrom many other local organisations.

We welcome those who would like tocontribute to our efforts in some way,whether small or large. We aim to beflexible in meeting people’s individualneeds, including those who are in full timeemployment and who have familycommitments, as well as those who haveretired.

Interested? Even a little bit??

Why not come and meet us for aninformal chat to find out a bit moreabout us, what we do and to get afeel for whether you might fit in. Nocommitment and no hard sell –promise! We would be delighted tomeet you and we have booked theParish Room, St. George’s, BarnettWood Lane, on 19th July from 7.30pm-8.30pm solely for this purpose on adrop in basis. I hope to see youthere.

Leatherhead Town Centre, and the High Streetin particular, have been the subject of muchcontroversy over the past twenty years. Thisseems to have been because most of theconsultation responses have attracted less than1% of the population – even less when youinclude the hinterland of the Town, as oneshould do. On the other hand Bookham Visionhas had an overwhelming response to theirsurvey. In the past Professor Whitelegg’sinvestigation organised by the LeatherheadSociety filled the Theatre to bursting. Peoplecare but don’t seem bothered. To deal with thisAndrew Bircher (Corporate Head of Service,Planning at MVDC), has asked for a meeting withthe Leatherhead Society to discuss the Council’sideas and how we, the residents can becomeinvolved. This is only a first step – but it is avital one to get something done about the stateof our Town. The meeting is to be held on5th July in the Letherhead Institute, andwill start at 7.30pm. If necessary we shallmigrate to the Abram Dixon Hall upstairs so as toaccommodate all who wish to attend.

We welcome the members of Ashtead, Fetchamand Bookham Residents’ Associations to thismeeting.

So what else is news? At our last meeting wewere joined by Patrick McCord and SimonWoodall who gave us an interesting talk aboutthe Community Garden in Woodbridge Grove.

This garden of raised beds is for allthose in the community who wish toplant a vegetable and tend itsgrowth, and eventually to eat it. Itis not like an allotment in that it is a communalactivity with everyone working together andhelping one another. There is also quite a largearea given over to flowers. The former ScoutHut is being prepared as a teaching centre tohelp understand the process of growing fruit andvegetables. But there is the potential for usingit as a skills centre, not necessarily related tothe garden, but definitely to community needs.It is a fascinating exercise in communitydevelopment and one which many Members ofthe Association soon became fascinated with.

The burst of growth in early summer has alsospawned a few problems with overhanginghedges getting out of hand and causing anuisance to passers-by. Bookham Residents’Association have been very effective in gettingthe owners to cut back their hedges, sometimeswith a bit of help. We would like to encourageany residents who are inconvenienced byoverhanging hedges to contact us, and we toowill try to persuade hedge owners to trim thegrowth rather than get the Council to intervene –at considerable cost to the owners. So why notjoin us?

Everybody knows, of course, that July 15this St Swithun’s Day, and if it rains on StSwithun’s Day it will carry on raining for thenext 40.

But it’s not only the cricketers andbarbecue enthusiasts of today who peer outanxiously on the morning of the 15th to seewhether the rest of the summer is going tobe a washout. The weather lore of oldendays often had a serious point; and goodweather in late July and then throughAugust was of critical importance to thefarmer. By that time the hay harvest shouldhave been got in, but there were two moreharvests to come, both of which preferreddry weather: the main grain harvests ofwheat and barley, and the cider appleharvest.

Cider was for centuries an importantcomponent in the liquid portion of theworking man’s diet, especially but notexclusively in the western counties. Beer, orale before hops were introduced in the 14thcentury, was always the drink of themajority; but cider had its advantages. Itwas an antiscorbutic, for one thing, withenough vitamin C to ward off scurvy whenfresh produce was not to be had; and thanksto its load of tannin and malic acid, it keptwell. For those reasons a hogshead of ciderwas an almost universal item in ship’s stores(especially as the alpha seadogs of

Elizabethan times – Drake, Hawkins,Grenville and Raleigh – were all Devon men).

But cider had its drawbacks, too. Chiefamong them was that picking clashed withthe much more important grain harvest andthe subsequent ploughing and sowing ofwinter wheat, when all hands were requiredin the fields and on the threshing floor. Andharvesting appreciable quantities of applesis a time-consuming business for workerswith pressing duties elsewhere: trygathering a ton or two of windfalls and youwould soon realise that for yourself.

They got round that by developing ciderapple varieties that cropped at differenttimes of year, from July right through toDecember, thus spreading the tasks ofpicking, milling, and pressing to make themmore manageable. The earliest cropper isthe Morgan Sweet, which makes a light-bodied cider that can be ready in time forChristmas; and St Swithun’s Day was,traditionally, the first day of picking.

But why did they need good weather?You can see why a dry spell would help thegrain harvest: imagine trying to mow asodden crop in a field of mud. You want theground underfoot to be good and firm, and ifthe stalks are to yield easily to the scythethey want to stand stiffly to attention. Butwhy must the apples be dry?

The answer to that is that after beingharvested – either by being shaken loosefrom the tree with a long hooked “pankingpole” or simply being let to fall and thenpicked up – the apples were generally“tumped” or left in heaps for anything up toa fortnight to soften, which made themeasier to mill. And a tump of moist apples,all of them bruised or damaged to someextent by their fall from the tree, lying inthe muggy damp of a wet summer, isparadise for mildews, moulds, and bacteriathat will ruin the cider.

So if you want to know why St Swithun’sDay should be, meteorologically speaking,such an anxious time, it has nothing to dowith camping holidays, or barbecues, orcricket, or topping up your tan prior tojetting off to the Med, and everything to dowith ensuring a decent drop of cider!

St Swithun’s Day is cider day

Ruth lay in bed with her eyes closed. Sam wascrashing grumpily round the bedroom. It wasMonday morning and the sun was streamingthrough the curtains. After a couple ofsavoured moments, Ruth turned to herhusband, pretended to wake with a languorousstretch and smiled sweetly at him. Shecouldn't help revelling in the moment. Therewas no need to make breakfasts, there was noneed to make packed lunches and there wereno PE bags to fill. She didn't have to scream atchildren who wouldn't get out of bed. Shedidn't have to wake them at all. Not a singlenag was necessary today. Exams were over,term had finished and the long summerstretched ahead of her. Ruth had cut down herworkload for the holidays and was reallylooking forward to some free time.

In previous years, the children had beenpacked off to a local school activity camp sothat Ruth could work. It had always been astruggle to arrange childcare during theholidays and, as these courses cost more thanRuth was earning, Sam decided it would be farmore prudent for her to take time off over thesummer, a decision he was starting to regret ashe groaned and went off to work.

As the front door closed, Ruth lay back andpondered over how they would fill their time.They could go to the park, they could relax inthe garden or they could go swimming at theLeisure Centre. There would be no need fortelevision or computer games. Life was goingto be perfect.

Her reverie was broken by a piercing screamfrom Sarah. Daniel had woken her by flickingcold water over her face while wearing afluorescent green Frankenstein mask. Ruth'seldest son, Ben, then stormed out of his room,furious at being disturbed. He used somecolourful expletives to express his frustration,before returning to his room and slamming thedoor.

Ruth took a deep breath and went to showerand get dressed. Ten minutes later shediscovered Daniel and Sarah, mesmerised bypre-school television and mindlessly eating'Cheerios' out of mugs. Ben, still wearing themask, was inserting the little round piecesthrough Frankenstein's scarred rubber mouth.Ruth cleared the trail of cereal from thekitchen table and made herself a cup of tea.After retrieving a neglected book from a top

shelf she wiped away the dust and opened it atthe first page. '101 Things To Do With YourChildren'. The first suggestion was 'Why notmake a papier mâché space ship?' Ruth had aninstant mental picture of pasty globules in hairand on furniture. She quickly turned the page.'Why not get out an atlas, pick a country andfind out as much as you can, before writing afun project?'. This author clearly did not havechildren of her own... The third suggestionseemed more achievable. 'Why not let yourchildren make their own healthy picnic andthen take them to the park?' This seemedsimple enough. She would go with numberthree.At ten thirty, the younger two children werestill in their pyjamas and Ben had not emergedfrom his room. Ruth knocked on his door,politely suggesting that he get up. Ben waslying in bed with earphones inserted. Ruthopened the curtains, smiled cheerfully andtalked loudly. "Time to get up Ben, it's abeautiful day. We're going on a picnic!" Thiswas greeted with a disapproving grunt. "I'mnot going anywhere! I just want to stay athome." Ruth was undeterred, "You'll feelbetter after a shower and something to eat."

Downstairs, Daniel and Sarah had emptied thecontents of the food cupboard onto the kitchentable and were filling the picnic basket withbiscuits and crisps. They couldn't find anysweets so had packed packets of cubed jellyinstead. There clearly wasn't a single healthyitem on their picnic menu. The kitchen was amess and when Ruth looked out of the window,ominous clouds were gathering.

Ben cruised down, announcing his presence bycuffing his younger brother over the head. Heignored the chaos and made himself some toastbefore taking it back upstairs, leaving crumbsand blobs of jam in his wake. As it started torain, Ruth looked at the clock. It was still onlyten forty five.Next morning, Ruth lay in bed with her eyesclosed. Sam was crashing grumpily round thebedroom. It was Tuesday morning and the sunwas streaming through the curtains. The longsummer stretched ahead of her and Ruthgroaned. Sam gave her a kiss, smiled sweetlyand went off to work.

Life at the Youth Centre is our busiest in thesummer months, in addition to our regular threenights a week activity working with youngpeople aged 11 through to 17, we make gooduse of the fine weather and offer manyopportunities to have fun, make friends andlearn something new.

The Rally Karting is in full swing with weekdayand regular weekend activity including up tofive overnight stays away from home, in theautumn we focus on the classroom side of theproject and complete folders that earn theyoung people Open College Networkqualifications. These qualifications arerecognised by further education colleges andemployers.

We have recently returned from the UK’slargest indoor skatepark called Rampworx – wehad a great weekend but it was a long drive upto Liverpool.

The summer holidays are our next challengewith an ambitious 2 ½ week trip to work withstreet kids in Goa, this would not be possiblewithout the opportunity that having Gary Nash(the Ashtead Churches Community Trust worker)allows us. We will be taking a group of ten16/17 year olds to teach english and sport in aSchool, help develop the businesses of youngmothers and contribute to a local carbon offsetproject. It is not all work and no play – butthere will be a lot of work !!!We are alsorunning an Adventure Holiday Week at the endof August for 14 young people to experience agreat week on the Brecon Beacons (Wales). Wehave to cook for ourselves and live in a remoteyouth house 1500 feet up in the mountains.Whilst the weather can always beunpredictable, the views are stunning on a niceday. Activities are likely to include an overnightcanoe adventure, abseiling, a gorge walk, anight hike and quad biking. Whilst all of theseactivities are incredibly exciting, we look forevery opportunity to develop young peoplesability to work in teams, communicate witheach other and learn to self reflect.

Richard Leary(Youth Leader in Charge) 01372276912 [email protected]

What members think aboutlife at the Youth Centre

My name is Robbie Cooke (aged 19) and I lookback on my time with the youth club with a lotof great memories.

I have recently returned wounded fromAfghanistan after serving with the Life Guards(part of the Household Cavalry) and Richardasked me if I would think about my time withthe youth club and how it may have preparedme for life in the army.

The mostobvious way thatit has helped, isthe way thatmany of theactivitiesprepare you towork in a teamand

communicate with people. The Rally KartingProject in particular really teaches you to beaware of what is going on around you, how tocommunicate in a noisy and distractingenvironment, and also how to get along with abig group of people who don’t always have a lotin common.

Staff at the Youth Club encouraged me tobecome a young leader, helping out with theyounger kids, and also to get involved with MoleValley Youth Voice and challenge people aboutwhat I felt strongly. I was involved in amediation process involving local young peopleand the Police to help calm down tensionsbetween people.

I think all of this sort of stuff helps you to beconfident around people and when you get outin the real world youcan assert yourself and be confident in yourabilities.

Every summer from mid Julyto mid August a group of 9–10year old boys and girls visitthe Epsom and Ashtead areafrom the south of Belarus.The children live in one ofthe most contaminated areasof the world as a result of theChernobyl disaster in 1986,which has left their food,water supply and air pollutedwith radiation.

Each year Chernobyl Children’s Life Line(CCLL) gives around 3,000 children, who havenever travelled abroad before, theopportunity to visit the UK to have a four-week break from their contaminated homeenvironment. Four weeks of clean food andair are enough to allow most of the toxins toleave their bodies, and gives their health –and in particular their immune systems – asignificant boost at a crucial time in theirdevelopment.

Sixteen of these first-time travellers arewelcomed each year by CCLL’s Mid SurreyLink. They are placed in pairs with volunteerhosts who make them part of their family fortwo weeks at a time, and care for them as ifthey were their own children. Enabling themto enjoy the comforts of our homes and joinwith the rest of the group for organised tripsmakes for a very special time for theseyoungsters.

Would you like to play a part in giving thesechildren the chance of a life time to improvetheir health? There are a number of differentways you can help:

• Host two children for a fortnight• Support a host and help care for “their”

two children• Help organise and run trips for the

children• Help with fund raising events

If you would like to find outmore, visit midsurreylink.org or01372 741228. We would love tohear from you.

www.ashteadreflexology.co.uk

Reflexology - what is it?A few days ago I was invited by Judith Richardson to have a reflexology session and I went to

see her in Ashtead. I spent a very relaxing hour with Judith who firstly explained to me whatreflexology is.

I discovered it is a complementary therapy that works on the principle that there are reflexpoints in the feet and hands that correspond to all of the organs, glands and parts of the body.Apparently reflexology can be traced back to 2330 B.C in ancient Egypt. Reflexology as we know ittoday is attributed to the work of Eunice Ingham who was a therapist working in the 1930’s. Judithtrained at the International Institute of Reflexology, the school that Eunice Ingham founded.

Reflexology is a method of applying pressure to the reflex points on the feet and hands. Thereare approximately 7,000 nerve endings in the feet and stimulating these nerve endings brings about apositive change in the body, reducing stress and tension, improving blood supply and unblockingnerve impulses. It helps balance the body, calm the mind and eliminate harmful toxins. It is suitablefor people of all ages, from babies to the elderly, for pregnant women and for helping with mostmedical conditions.

Many of the reasons for having reflexology could be following illness, stress, or injury, as thebody is in a state of “imbalance”, and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body fromfunctioning effectively. Each therapy is specific to the individual. Judith will detect imbalances in thefeet and by working these areas can help relieve stress and tension, release blockages and restore thefree flow of energy to the whole body. However, you don’t have to be ill to benefit, many people useit as a way to relax and promote a general sense of well-being.

I found my session quite relaxing and there were a few areas which needed special attention,one of them my neck and shoulder “zone”, which is hardly surprising as I am found hunched over acomputer screen on most days! Judith is a really interesting person and I could have happily spenthours with her.

I was delighted with my experience and went home feeling really positive and almost finishedlaying out the magazine and designing quite a few new ads in one day. I’ll have more of that please!All in all, a really satisfying therapy and one which I hope you will want to experience for yourselves.

What would they say?

It is always easy for us to identify our colleagues’ needs for improvement or theiridiosyncrasies, yet have you stopped and thought about how YOU canimprove your work environment? It is very easy to subconsciously allow yournegative feelings and attitudes to penetrate the work environment. This can result indecreased productivity for both you and your colleagues.

What would your work colleagues say......if you asked them to honestly describethe influence you have within the office environment?

• You always arrive with a smile ...or with the weight of the world on yourshoulders?

• You are always willing to help and listen... or too busy or not really interested?• You always plan... or always panic?• You always stop, look and listen before making judgements?• You always see the glass as half full... or half empty?• You are a great team member... or always out for yourself?• You always work hard... or are a known skiver?• You are organised and composed... or disorganised and forgetful?

Negative attitudes are infectious, choose not to be a carrier!

It is all down to…

What goes with you everywhere you go?It is on display at work and at home.People around you are affected by it.It has no shape, colour, or size, yetit’s impact on your life is profound.

Macular disease affects central vision andit can be a very isolating and frustratingcondition. Although people with thiscondition rarely lose their sightcompletely, they may be left with justperipheral, patchy or extremely blurryvision - imagine being unable to see thefaces of friends and loved ones, drive,feel confident about walking around orread books, menus, newspapers,instructions, domestic machine settingsand dials, telephone keypads, labels,letters, bills, timetables,etc. Technology can often help, but it isalso such a help to know that you are notalone; our meetings enable peopleaffected in some way by the condition toget together with others who understandwhat it is like to have maculardisease. It’s a great opportunity to sharetips, gain some useful information, makenew friends and have a chat over a‘cuppa’ and a biscuit.

The Leatherhead Group meets on thesecond Monday of each month at theLeatherhead Institute (67 High Street,Leatherhead, KT22 8AH) between 2-4pmin Room G6 (ground floor). We invitespeakers to most of our meetings and tryto have a mixture of ‘fun’ and‘information’ content. In the next coupleof months we will be having a bit of funwith a ‘Name that Tune’ competition andin another session we’ll be hearing aboutprogress with the latest major projectaiming to use stem cells to restore vision.

Previous speakers and topics haveincluded ‘Eccentric Vision’ (sounds weirdbut it is actually a technique for usingperipheral vision to best effect); lowvision aids; audio description and thedigital TV/radio changeover; possibilitiesfor leisure and holidays for sight-impaired, meal home delivery servicesand an overview of the counsellingservices available from the MacularDisease Society.

Our members are a lively and friendlybunch who will make new members mostwelcome. (A small contribution of £2 perperson per meeting helps to cover thecosts of room hire, speakers’ fees andexpenses, etc.) Anyone interested injoining us is welcome to contact me forfurther information.

ARC, the campaign to improve the children’splaypark at Ashtead Recreation Ground,

held its latest fundraiser on Friday.Billed the ‘Clothes Show Live and

Pampering Evening’, the event,which took place at St George’s

Christian Centre in Ashtead,raised over £1300, taking

the fundraising totalto more than£9000. In another

piece of good news, the campaign alsorecently achieved charitable status.

Over 100 local mums attended the eventand a further brave few took their positionson the catwalk as models. All previous ARCevents have been organised with the mainparticipants being children and this one wasthe first aimed at adults.

Andrea Hodson, ARC’s chair, commented,“This was a really exciting fundraising eventfor us and, we hope, something of a thankyou to all of the mums who have supportedus so far! Yes, there is a team leading thecampaign, but we would get nowhere if itwasn’t for the support of Ashtead’s familiesand we are truly grateful to them all.”

She continues, “The recent news that thecampaign has achieved charitable status is avery important step for us. So far thecampaign has raised over £9000 and this willenable us to start our fundraising in earnest!Very soon we will be able to buy our first

piece of equipment which is tremendouslyexciting. When we sat down at our firstmeeting, a little over a year ago, I don’tthink any of us would have dreamt that somuch would have happened in such a shorttime.”

The group is also currently working closelywith Mole Valley District Council, which wasrecently awarded £50,000 through theGovernment Playbuilder Scheme. This willbe used to develop park play facilities foreight to thirteen year olds.

In recent articles in this series we’ve been telling you about theTransition Ashtead garden share scheme that is now up and runningwith four very satisfied gardener customers so far. We currentlyhave more people offering gardens than people who want to digthem, so please get in touch if you need space to grow fruit andvegetables and we should be able to match you with a garden owner

pretty quickly.

We have also started a Home Energy group. We want to help Ashteadresidents to reduce their home’s carbon emissions. This means making yourhome as energy efficient as you can, and then considering the possibility ofinstalling solar panels on your roof or some other form of renewable powergeneration. Introduced in April this year, feed-in tariffs now makegenerating electricity on your roof a really attractive proposition. Howeverfor most people the first thing to concentrate on is making hour house betterinsulated and less draughty. The cost is usually modest, the payback timesare short, and there are grants available.

As I write we are getting ready to take part in the Ashtead churches Act10ninitiative in 8-12 July. We’ll be getting volunteers from the churches trainedin draught proofing so they can do this work for needy people in Ashtead intime to reduce their coming winter fuel bills. Another group of volunteerswill be advising people about the grants and offers available for homeinsulation and if necessary helping them apply for a grant. Once Act10n is outof the way, we are thinking of organising an energy exhibition in the PeaceMemorial Hall where we’ll be able to show and give advice on the productsavailable. This will cover domestic energy generation as well as reducingyour energy demand.

We aim to set up a library of locally available energy efficiency equipmentsuch as draught meters, LED and low energy light bulbs, so people can trythem out before buying. All this will cost money of course and we’ve beenlucky, or maybe skillful, enough to get a £1500 grant from SurreyCounty Council’s Climate Change Fund to carry out our plannedprogramme of activities. It’s now up to us to make sure we usethat money well to reduce Ashtead’s carbon emissions.

In the period of the 1920s depression,the unemployment situation in Waleswas acute with many pit closures. TheLord Mayor of London had a schemegoing to help young lads get to south-east England where there was lessunemployment. Provided that a jobwas available their train fare was paid.

At that time our family was living atHillmoor in The Street. One eveningthere was a knock at the door by ayoung lad of 15 saying he had comefrom Tonypandy in Wales to get a jobwith Marsden Nursery, then in BarnettWood Lane, and when he asked themabout lodgings they sent him to thehouse next door to ours in The Street.Unfortunately the neighbour was ill sohe came to our door to ask indesperation if we could help him findlodging. Mum could suggest no-one soinvited him in. Would he like a cup oftea? “Naw thanks, but I would like abottle of pop.” So Meredith tookMaurice to the sweet shop which wasconveniently next door but one, now‘SOY Chinese takeaway’, to get him hisbottle of pop, 4d. He stayed the night,and the next night and the next sevenyears and Mog became one of thefamily and that became his nickname.

Later, when we moved to RectoryLane, Mog was accommodated withfriends about three houses up the lane,then he was married to a local girl andwas able to move into a house in ParkWalk. He worked with our firm for

several years, then got himself a job as aporter at ‘The Old Lady ofThreadneedle Street’ - the Bank ofEngland in London. In his latter dayshe ran a corner grocery store in theIlford area.

Mog was a great playmate as an olderbrother, caring and reliable. My fatherwas always a busy man and in theevenings he was committed to theessential paperwork of running abusiness before the days when we hadan office. He and mother seldom wentout together in the evening but theywere now enabled to leave the childrenin the safe care of Mog. We all hadour great times of fun with him. Wehad a common interest in ‘O’ gaugeHornby trains - clockwork engines,goods wagons, carriages and tinplaterails laid on the living room floor andinto the front room. Anotherinteresting toy which Mog producedwas a very crude and ancient cineprojector, hand operated, battery lit andonly one short cartoon film, but for allits antiquity we never tired of watchingthe jerky moving pictures.

Said Mog to my dad “Pop, what is aYule tree?”, he replied, “You mean ayew tree?” “No, a Yule,what they get Yule logsfrom.”

That’s Mog, who left usall with many happymemories.

Which plant groupis the backbone ofthe summer garden,delivering colour,fragrance andattracting theattention ofbeneficial wildlifeand humans alike?The answer isperennials, thatwonderful family ofherbaceous plantsthat launch into lifeevery spring.

Think of the stars of borders in gardens big andsmall and the chances are they will beperennials. Colour is key with perennials –there is such a varied palette to choose from.It’s up to you to decide the mood you want asthe garden backdrop to your life – theexcitement or vibrancy of red, the romance ofpink or the calm of blue and for a plant familythat offers all of these and more, look nofurther than perennial Salvia or sage plants.

Offering true perennial perfection, these are awonderful choice for gardeners looking to bringstunning colour and style to their borders.There is an amazing range to select from, manyof them Award of Garden Merit holders, so youcan be sure of getting top performance. Now isa great time to plant container grown plantsand many salvias are drought tolerant, onceestablished. This makes them a fantastic assetif you are gardening in a drier area.

Some Salvias are great for attracting beneficialwildlife, including butterflies and bees. Thiswill give a boost to the overall health of bothyour garden and the surrounding environment –so what are you waiting for? Like mostperennials, Salvias are easy to look after. Someare fully hardy across the UK, but others areless so and in certain areas may be betterlooked on as annuals. Your local garden centrewill be delighted to help with advice.

Here are some suggestions: Salvia nemorosa‘Caradonna’ – a wonderful perennial reaching

about 75cm in height, bearing violet to purpleflowers, fully hardy. Chelsea 2010 Best in ShowAward winning designer Andy Sturgeonhighlighted this variety in his BBC TV interviewprior to the show. Salvia officinalis – a foliageplant with culinary uses, evergreen and hardy,up to 80cm high; Salvia coccinea ‘Lady in Red’ –great for a summer show of red flowers(tender). The closely related ‘Lady in White’bears white flowers. Salvia patens ‘CambridgeBlue’ is frost hardy (safe down to -5°C’) andproduces very elegant, pale blue flowers. Salviapratensis is a clump-forming perennial with awoody base. Up to 90cm in height and bearingflowers of violet, though in some cases may bepink or white.

Salvias are a sun-loving plant, so grow in eitherfull sun or dappled shade. Soils need to be well-drained and moderately fertile. Removeflowers once they have ‘gone over’ (deadheading) and trim in late spring any shoots thatspoil symmetry.

Everyone knows what a generally easy,rewarding and versatile plant the geranium(strictly speaking, Pelargonium) is. It iscapable of flowering all year round, if grownat the right temperature, and also tolerantof erratic watering, which is handy.So attractive and full of variety are the well-known Zonal, Regal, Angel and Ivy-leavedgroups however, that the aromatic-leavedcultivars, which tend to have smaller, less‘look at me’, flowers are easily passed over.They are not as striking, on first inspection,but they give lasting pleasure, once you getto know them, especially if you like touchingyour plants. Much as I love my ‘Lord Bute’and ‘Appleblossom Rosebud’ pelargoniums, Iwould never want to be without ‘Attar ofRoses’, ‘Lady Plymouth’, Pelargoniumcrispum or ‘Prince of Orange’, either. Iespecially appreciate them in the winter,when I recall the scents of summer simply byrubbing their leaves.

Scented pelargoniums are not highlybred, but instead are species or derive fromspecies. Any pelargonium with hairy leaves islikely to be aromatic but not all have apleasant odour, by any means. But there areplenty that have.

‘Big Apple’, for example, has smooth,round leaves, which are strongly apple-scented when bruised, and small whiteflowers. ‘Attar of Roses’ has heart-shaped,grey-green, rose-scented leaves and pinky-mauve flowers. ‘Prince of Orange’, with

orange-scented, glossy foliage, hasparticularly large and showy flowers,consisting of pale pink petals, veined withpurple. ‘Creamy Nutmeg’ has attractivecream and green variegated leaves andnutmeg scent. The well-known ‘LadyPlymouth’ has deeply-cut, variegatedfoliage, and small mauve flowers, while‘Islington Peppermint’ has most attractiveflowers with deep red upper petals, andwhite lower ones. ‘Ardwick Cinnamon’ hasmasses of small white flowers held abovesilver-grey leaves. All have an airy charmwhich is not always evident amongst thebeefier Zonal geraniums.

Scented leaved pelargoniums are easy togrow, provided that they have very goodlight and air circulation, and are not exposedto any degree of frost. Which means theycan’t be left outside in the garden or in potsthrough the winter. If you want them toflower all year, however, you need to makesure that the winter night temperature isaround 7°C or above, which means either aheated greenhouse or conservatory or, morelikely, a warm, light windowsill indoors.They can be planted out in containers orherb gardens in the summer months. It’sbest to cut them right back to a few shortstems in late summer or early autumn, sothat they carry less leaf through the winter;this reduces both the risk of botrytis (afungal disease, ‘grey mould’, which thrivesin damp, cold conditions) and the amount ofwatering required.

Scented leaved pelargoniums can getrather ‘leggy’, unless cut back from time totime, anyway. The gardener should alsoconsider re-potting the plants each year inthe spring, preferably into a potting compostwith some loam in it, such as John Innes No2 potting compost. (The ‘soil-less’‘multipurpose’ composts, which are readilyavailable tend to dry out more quickly,although they are suitable if you cannot finda loam compost.)

All in all, it is hard to imagine a group ofplants, which give as much pleasure for solittle trouble.

Leatherhead & District Local History SocietyPotted Histories No: 18

Fetcham Lodge - The Street, Fetcham

Fetcham Lodge is an imposing mansion built between 1791 and 1813 but outwardlyappears to be about 1840. Originally the building and its grounds covered ten acres. Itwas the residence of Colonel C.B. Llewellyn until 1851 and Miss Birtha Ricardo, daughterof the famous economist David Ricardo. When Roger Cunliffe the banker first came tothe Leatherhead district in the 1860s, he lived at Fetcham Lodge. He stayed there untilTyrrells Wood house was built to his design in about 1880. He was followed by AdolphusCockburn and then in 1889 by William Dent, a wine broker.

In 1926 Fetcham provided the High Sheriff of Surrey. He was C.S. Gordon Clark who hadlived at Fetcham Lodge since 1899. He will be remembered not only for his gardenparties held there but also for his generosity in giving five acres of his land to theNational Playing Fields Association in 1929 for a public recreation ground. The Cock Lanerecreation ground was thus created.

For a short period in its history it was called The Fetcham Lodge Hotel and Club offeringexcellent accommodation and cuisine, with its own swimming pool.

Over the years much of the remaining land was sold off for housing development.

Today a study on the south side replaces a former conservatory and other modificationswere made when the building was divided into separate units.
