TO THE POINT

A few small changes this month, celebrati ng our sixth editi on as VantagePoint. You get me fi rst (and with an extra picture, for which apologies!) and the contents are now overleaf. Much more important is that we have decided to put the Jotti ngs in date order to make it easier for you to see what events are happening when. I hope this improvement is helpful.

Perhaps it is my age but I seem to have become addicted to Desert Island Discs. Prett y much all past recordings are now available, either through an app for the iPhone and iPad or on-line on the BBC iPlayer. And what a treasure trove they are. The format works so well that it has not changed since 1942 when Roy Plomley, who con-ceived the idea, made the fi rst recording with the comedian, actor and musician Vic Oliver, who at the ti me was also the (unlikely and unliked) son-in-

law of Winston Churchill. With such a wonderful back catalogue, the diffi culty is choosing who to lis-ten to. Recent gems include Robert Hardy (2011), Bill Nighy (2004), Richard Briers (2000), and the so-norous Sir Donald Sinden (1982) and Henry Blofeld (2003). Aung San Suu Kyi (2013) was inspiring, as was Reverend Rose Hudson-Wilkin (2014) who must surely be favourite as our fi rst female Bishop. What is lovely about this programme is how it chal-lenges preconcepti ons. John Prescott came across as a very decent man (2012) and even Ed Milliband (2013) seemed charming, although I will probably draw the line at Ed Balls.

If you get the chance, go and see Relati ve Values at the Harold Pinter Theatre unti l the 21st June. A great producti on with a wonderful cast, the high-light being a magnifi cent performance from Patricia Hodge which is worth the ti cket price on its own.

Back in the middle of April our kids very kindly treated us to a concert at G Live featuring the Bootleg Beatles. Angie is a very discerning Beatles fan with a fi ne collecti on of memorabilia including signed photos etc so she was all ready to give judgement. As it happens, even she was blown away with this band - they were terrifi c and the John Lennon looked more like John Lennon than John Lennon, if you know what I mean. It was a great night out as was an evening at the Cranleigh Arts Centre a few weeks later when we saw the brilliant Albert Lee in concert in a lovely, inti mate venue with good acousti cs and reasonably priced drinks. We are very lucky to have so many really good musical venues in our area.

‘The Journey Conti nues’ by Michael Hume, wildlife and nature photographer, is the latest exhibiti on at The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundati on Gallery, 7 Saba House, Kings Road, Shalford, Guildford, GU4 8JU. It runs Monday 2nd to Monday 30th June, Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm and Saturday, 10am-4pm. Free entry. Browse and buy from this stunning selecti on of wildlife photography. All sales support endangered wildlife. For more informati on see: www.davidshepherd.org.

Bringing the insideinsideoutside

Creati ng an outdoor living space can be done on a budget, says Charlie Smith. By using what you already have, limiti ng purchases to the basics, and creati ng a focal point, you can easily and inexpensively create a wonderful ambience and space in your garden.

Before You BeginAsk yourself how you and your family currently use the garden space and how you would like to use it with just a few simple changes. The answers will help you determine what you need to take away or add to the current outdoor space.

Focal PointSimilar to creati ng an inviti ng indoor living space, the garden living space needs a focal point. The focal point may already exist - in the home’s architecture, in the landscaping, or in a garden structure such as a gazebo. If you don’t have one, you can add your own focal point.Gazebos are a great starti ng block for building an indoor vibe outside. They come in all shapes and sizes these days, and you can get pop-up gazebos for less than £50. Hang curtains, lanterns and fairy lights, add some

comfy chairs, pillows or cushions, lay down a rug, and you can transform a garden area.

Fire Pit TableOne of the most popular and easy additi ons to the outdoor living space is a fi re pit table. The fi re pit table can be low to the ground, with a wide perimeter where guests and family members can sit low on cushions and feel chilled and relaxed

9 June 2014

outside around the fi re. The fi re pit adds instant warmth to any dusky evening when the sun goes down.

Water ElementIf you already have fi re, add water. A water element creates a soothing and pleasant additi on to an outdoor living space. It could be a small waterfall as part of the landscaping or an inexpensive water feature from your local garden centre or DIY store.

Mix and Match Outdoor Seati ngInvest in an outdoor furniture set with a love seat, chairs and table. These do not have to be expensive and you can mix and match pieces by shopping at local car boot sales, or use Freecycle or eBay. The styles and materials do not have to match. You can paint all of the pieces the same colour to make them appear as a cohesive set. Add outdoor cushions to the pieces to make them more comfortable, and use brightly coloured scatt er pillows and throws too.

Umbrella TableThe biggest and best investment you can make in your outdoor space is a table with an umbrella. With mixed up chair designs the table becomes an instant gathering place for your family and friends. Use the table to dine alfresco, play board games, or just relax over a wonderfully healthy breakfast to start the day in the spring sunshine.

Lighti ngLighti ng is not something home owners would overlook in their indoor spaces, and it should also be considered for outdoor spaces. Invest in solar lawn lights to mark or make pathways to outdoor living spaces. Lanterns and fairy lights create a calm and magical atmosphere too. Tiki torches, citronella torches, and fl oati ng candles in your water element also add ambience.

On a Budget Tip: Use What you HaveUse what you already have. If you have an old table that has been relegated to the basement or garage, it can be covered with a tablecloth or painted and used in a covered outdoor space. The same can be done with old side tables and chairs. If you have large pieces of wood from trees that had to be cut down, use them as seats for the fi re pit aft er cutti ng to low stool size pieces. Longer pieces may be sliced in half, att ached to two round log pieces and be used as long benches.

IN JUNE

Carl Ingram, Partner &STEP qualified solicitor

13 June 2014

You can invest in a new local social enterprise - Springbok Sustainable Wood Heat Co-operati ve (the Co-op) – which will generate renewable energy, help a local charity, improve the biodiversity of our local woodlands, create local employment AND give you an att racti ve fi nancial return.

The projectThe team behind the highly successful Wey Valley Solar Schools Co-operati ve has created a new community energy opportunity to produce renewable heat for local charity Care Ashore. Care Ashore provides reti rement and sheltered accommodati on for former merchant seamen at its Springbok Estate near Alfold. The Co-op will raise the investment needed to replace Care Ashore’s old oil boilers with new biomass boilers which will run on sustainably produced local wood chip. This will:

• Save Care Ashore money on its fuel bills • Reduce its carbon footprint. • Improve the energy effi ciency of the residenti al buildings using money raised by the Co-op.

Springbok Estate is surrounded by unmanaged woodland including some on its own estate. The project will also create a market for the wood which will bring these woodlands back into sustainable management. This will improve the biodiversity of the woodland and bring bees, birds (such as nighti ngales) and butt erfl ies back into these woods - as well as being a truly local source of fuel for the new boilers and creati ng local employment.

How it works?The Co-op aims to raise £425,000 from individual members of the local community through a share off er which will be launched

in June. This will be used to purchase and install two 199kW Herz wood chip boilers and install a district heati ng system supplying heat to the residenti al buildings on the Estate. The Co-op will sell heat to Care Ashore at a price which is less than the price currently paid for heati ng oil. The Co-op will also receive payment of the “Renewable Heat Incenti ve” (RHI). This income will be used to meet the Co-op’s costs and pay interest to its investors, anti cipated to be at the rate of about 7% per annum. If the Co-op makes a return of more than 7% p.a. the surplus will be paid to Care Ashore to support their work, reduce their fuel bills and enable them to improve their energy effi ciency.

The Co-op will last for twenty years. Investors will become members of the Co-op and each member will have a vote and a say in how the Co-op is run and managed.

The Co-op will apply to HMRC for advance assurance that the scheme qualifi es under the EIS (Enterprise Investment Scheme) for tax relief. This may only be available for investments made by mid-July when the EIS changes. EIS relief reduces an investor’s liability to income tax by 30% of the amount invested, making investment even more att racti ve.

The full details, assumpti ons and risks relati ng to the fi nancial returns will be set out in the share off er document.

So if you interested in investi ng from £250 and are keen to:

• make a good return from an ethical investment• support a local charity• improve local woodlands and • generate renewable heat and help reduce the eff ects of climate change

Don’t miss your chance to be involved in this pioneering share off er.

Contact Rachael at Springbok Sustainable Wood Heat, Chestnut Suite Offi ce 1, Guardian House, Borough Road, Godalming, Surrey GU7 2AE on (01483

Dealing with space debris and monitoring spacecraft

Have you ever wondered what happens to satellites when they cease to work or come to the end of their life? Researchers at Surrey are working on technology that could help clear up space debris and service spacecraft.

As the Head of the Surrey Technology for Autonomous systems and Robotics (STAR) Lab within the Surrey Space Centre, Professor Yang Gao and her team are working on a four-year project called ‘Reconfigurable Autonomy’.

“Repairing space vehicles and sorting out space debris is challenging, dangerous and costs a lot when you employ humans to do the work,” she says. “This is why the space industry demands robotic solutions to do this instead.

“We are creating intelligent robotic systems to inspect, monitor and identify when spacecraft needs repairing. These systems will also have the potential to support astronauts on space missions, and to deal with space debris.

“Our autonomous technology will be deployed in snake-like robots. These robots will have a great deal of manipulability, building a perception of their environment using built-in cameras. Our technology could also work on simpler platforms, such as robotic arms, like the type used in car manufacturing factories.”

The robot’s vision system means that the technology can recognise objects (shapes, colours, angles) as a human would, learning to detect, track and recognise anomalies of the spacecraft.

“If you had a malfunctioning part on a moving spacecraft, our technology enables space robots to detect these issues, and to potentially fix the problem there and then, without human intervention.”

This may make it possible for robots to assist astronauts in the Internati onal Space Stati on – by carrying out hardware checks and testi ng equipment in the run-up to important missions. Another potenti al applicati on is within the nuclear industry, identi fying decommissioned radioacti ve waste in nuclear plants, saving human operators from potenti al radiati on exposure.

“Such techniques allow humans to operate roboti c systems from a safe distance, letti ng the robot deal with risky tasks and interact with unknown or faulty objects in Space, or in radioacti ve nuclear plants on Earth. Once fully developed, the technology will be robust and reliable, and can benefi t other space projects such as AAReST led by Professor Underwood.”

Professor Gao’s ulti mate goal is to deploy reconfi gurable, autonomous robots in spacecraft of diff erent sizes and shapes. “I feel roboti c agents will play a crucial role in future space missions in supporti ng astronauts, and my team are enthusiasti c and excited about new opportuniti es and applicati ons of the technologies we are developing.”

AAReST

Professor Craig Underwood is leading the UK’s side of a project called AAReST, which stands for the ‘Autonomous Assembly of a Reconfi gurable Space Telescope’.

AAReST was formed with the California Insti tute of Technology (Caltech) and UK researchers from the University of Surrey in 2009. Its main aim is to create a new kind of large-scale, self-

The University of Surrey is involved in a plethora of projects about Space. Read on to get a glimpse into some of these exciti ng initi ati ves.

SOARING INTO SPACE

assembling telescope, 100m in diameter. This telescope will capture images of Space in more detail, and over greater distances than ever before.

Professor Underwood explains, “We want to create a big, fl exible and cost-eff ecti ve telescope that takes a bett er picture of Space than any other. To do this, we need to build a massive photographic aperture in Space – a telescope that will photograph deep Space.”

This aperture will be constructed from lots of separate, smaller satellites which will be launched into Space and then automati cally come together to form one huge telescope. Each satellite carries a mirror, whose shape can change to form the perfect opti cal surface.

“Astronomers need big telescopes for Space. The bigger the mirror, the more light you can gather, so fainter objects can be identi fi ed and captured on camera. Due to the ti me it takes for light to travel through Space, when we look at faint objects we are actually looking back in ti me so it is exciti ng to have the ability to look at Space’s past.

“Because our telescope will be fl exible, and assemble and reassemble itself, it will be able to adapt to suit diff erent space-scapes in the solar system and beyond. With such an enormous and fl exible telescope we could not only discover new planets and new life in the Universe, but also protect people on Earth from severe weather or natural phenomena through improved monitoring of Earth from Space – telescopes can look down as well as up!”

To prove that a large-scale Space telescope of this nature will work, the team is fi rst building a smaller-scale prototype, named a ‘MicroSat’. This MicroSat comprises a core satellite carrying a special camera on a long boom, with two ti ny deployable ‘mirror-sats’ which enable the camera to record Space in high-defi niti on detail.

“People have followed the Hubble Space telescope, which was brilliant at the ti me of its incepti on, but is now nearing the end of its life. Hubble has delivered stunning images but our vision is of a telescope over 50 ti mes

more powerful. NASA is also building the James Webb Space Telescope, which is bigger than Hubble, but the mirror is sti ll rigid and infl exible and ulti mately sti ll limited in size.”

The AAReST project has passed a preliminary design review, where teams from NASA and associated academics assessed the project’s viability. With this vote of confi dence, Professor Underwood hopes that his team’s prototype will build support for the initi ati ve to create a full-size, 100m telescope for use on Earth as well as Space explorati on. Aside from the incredible potenti al to discover new planets and learn more about our Galaxy in Space, the telescope could also orbit our planet, looking down in real-ti me, with applicati ons in search missions to fi nd debris in oceans, and to track and predict natural disasters.

He concludes, “The beauty of this project is that the satellite will automati cally build itself, like an intelligent robot.”

Galaxy evoluti on through the eyes of globular clusters

Professor Mark Gieles, Chair of Surrey’s Astrophysics Research Group, is exploring the origin of the Milky Way and its globular clusters – the stars that orbit the Galaxy’s centre. These are systems containing several hundred thousand stars that are almost as old as the Universe, and therefore they carry important informati on about the birth and evoluti on of the Milky Way itself.

He recently secured a grant from the European Research Council, to build a research team at the University of Surrey. Professor Gieles and his group are performing detailed computer simulati ons of the evoluti ons of these globular clusters, re-enacti ng the journey of parti cles through Space to learn about their lives. This simulati on will then be compared to data of the ESA-Gaia satellite launched (not by Surrey) into Space last year to compile a map of over a billion stars in the Milky Way over the coming decade.


The Gaia satellite is currently travelling around the sun, mapping stars in the Galaxy, multi ple ti mes. Its orbit takes the same as the Earth (one year), and the Gaia satellite conti nuously compares the new positi ons of stars to their previously measured positi ons.

Comparing the changing positi ons of these stars can tell researchers how strong the Milky Way’s gravitati onal pull is, and can therefore give them more of an idea about what will happen in the future. More importantly, it shows scienti sts how the Galaxy may have formed. The movement of stars will reveal more about the existence of dark matt er, phenomena that scienti sts believe exists but which cannot be observed with existi ng methods.

“We sti ll do not know what or where dark matt er is within the Milky Way,” Professor Gieles says. “But the movement and behaviour of these stars - mapped out thanks to Gaia - is the only way we can study where this matt er might be. Once we know more about the locati ons of the stars, and strength of their gravitati onal pull, we can paint a bett er picture of what the Milky Way looks like and how it behaves. In turn, we hope to understand more about dark matt er and its eff ect on our Milky Way.

“It will be at least two years before Gaia starts to return data that we can use. But that doesn’t mean our work can’t start. Along with internati onal collaborators, we are creati ng a range of mock-formati ons of stars, to help us try to begin predicti ng what shape the Milky Way is.”

Professor Gieles and his team are using these models

to questi on common percepti ons such as the Milky Way being perfectly spherical, and it is enti rely possible that the data that Gaia delivers over the next ten years will prove this hypothesis correct.

“The scienti fi c community is engaged in this initi ati ve, and to bring these ideas together, Professor Justi n Read and myself initi ated the ‘Gaia Challenge’, calling on astrophysicists from across the world to build a variety of mock-galaxy formati ons and globular clusters on computers, bringing together all these possibiliti es in order to explore new theories about the origins of the Universe.

“We can’t wait to get the next batch of data from the Gaia satellite. Then we can test out our predicti ons and methods of analysis, and see what the Milky Way is really like. How old is it? How did it evolve?”

Hold your own Wacky Rally with your friends and race your fastest cars against each other. Use jam jar lids, juice and milk carton tops, cott on reels, butt ons, old CDs or discs cut from card for the wheels and anything you like for the body. The Batmobile was made by taping straw axles to the bott om of a plasti c drink bott le. Design a sign and a chequered fl ag and get set to go!

Here’s how to make some of the cars on the grid …

Things to make forand withboys (and girls)

Balloon CarUse wind power to propel a junk car across the fl oor. The body of the car can be made from any kind of box - the trick is to angle the bendy straw upwards to keep the balloon off the fl oor. Remember, the car will go in the directi on of the balloon.

Tape two pieces of straw to the base of the matchbox.

Cut two axles from wooden skewers a litt le wider than the box, push through the straw and fi x a wheel on each end (as for the Elasti c band car).

Cut the lip off the balloon and tape the balloon fi rmly to the bendy end of the straw. Bend the straw upwards and tape to the top of the box. Trim the other end of the straw leaving enough so you can blow through it to infl ate the balloon. Decorate it if you like.

Blow up the balloon, set the car on the ground and watch it go!

You will need:

• Large match box or a small square of cardboard for the base• 2 drinking straws• Milk/juice carton lids• Wooden skewer• Balloon

Elastic Band Car

Elasti c bands have been silently powering thousands of junk cars across pavements and living rooms for decades. Once you’ve mastered the technology you can adapt it to your own vehicle design. Think of this one as a starti ng point. You’ll fi nd lots of other ideas on the internet on maker’s forums.

Although simple in design, it can be quite tricky to get these cars to run properly because if the axles aren’t straight, or the wheels aren’t fi xed really securely to the axles, they won’t turn.

Make two holes at opposite ends of the cardboard tube and insert two short lengths of drinking straw. Push short lengths of a wooden skewer through the straws and att ach wheels to each end. Plasti c milk bott le and jar lids are good here. Put them on a wooden board and pierce the centre with a sharp skewer, knitti ng needle or nail. Then push on to the skewer. They should stay, but if not, glue with a blob of strong plasti c model making glue.

Push a third short skewer through the tube about three quarters of the way down. This should be really snug – you may want to glue it in place. Cut a thick elasti c band into a long strip and ti e one end to this skewer and one end to the back axle. You can experiment with a second elasti c band on the other side too.

To run your car, turn the back axle to wind the elasti c ti ght, then put it on the ground and release.

You will need:

• Sturdy cardboard tube, such as from a roll of foil• Drinking straw• Wooden skewers• Plasti c lids for wheels• Glue• Thick elasti c band• Plasti c milk bott le to cut up for the nose and tail

When Frederick Augustus Secrett started his business in 1908 with a loan from his father, he could not have imagined that over a hundred years and four generati ons later his business would be sti ll be going from strength to strength.

Back then Frederick bought a small farm in Kew and just a few years later added to this with Marsh Farm in Twickenham and eventually a further Farm at Walton-on-Thames.

In 1937 Frederick moved his family and business to Milford in Surrey where it has been ever since and is now considered an integral part of the Milford village community. Something of a hub for both local residents and ‘foodies’ from further afi eld.

The business has certainly changed over those years but at the heart of Secrett s there remains a passionate determinati on to grow fi rst class crops and deliver them at their freshest to the customers, whether that is Secrett s own Farm Shop or elsewhere through its wholesale operati ons. In recent years the Secrett s Farm team have developed a range of baby leaf salads that have set them apart from other growers and added

to their reputati on for growing innovati ve and exciti ng crops.

The producti on team have focussed on growing leaf varieti es that are packed with

fl avour and colour such as the peppery Land Cress, mild and sweet Tat Soi, fi ery Greek Cress and the gorgeous deep crimson of Red Amaranth.

The Farm Manager, Greg Secrett (pictured opposite), is conti nually reviewing the

range of baby leaf he grows and can respond quickly to the changing demands

of his customers. “It is important for us to be diff erent”, he explains. “If the supermarkets begin

stocking a certain salad leaf then we lose interest in it. We want to be one step ahead all the ti me and that is what

our Restaurant customers and Farm Shop customers want too.”

Salad DaysA local farm shop has taken salad growing all the way from Surrey to our fi nest restaurants...

There is a growing and impressive list of chefs both locally, in London and further afi eld that regularly buy Secrett s salad leaves and they menti on it on their menus too, which is a great honour and refl ects the high regard that the product enjoys.

Secrett s leaves can now be found on the menu at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Le Gavroche, Le Manoir, The Fat Duck, The Ivy, Gordon Ramsay and Claridges… to name just a few. There is no questi on that the chefs at these establishments demand the very best quality ingredients and that is testament to just how good Secrett s salad leaf is.

So what sets it apart? The reason the salad leaf grown at Secrett s Farm is so special is because it is harvested just 14 to 21 days aft er germinati on. It really is a ‘baby’ leaf! Although this means that the yield weights are lower it is the only way to ensure that the leaf is consistently tender, juicy and full of fl avour. If the leaves are left just a few days more they will begin to become leggy and lose the depth of fl avour that is so very important.

Every seed tray is laid out by hand and carefully monitored and irrigated according to the variety requirements. The leaves are checked daily and when the opti mum size is achieved the crop is harvested and packed unwashed into sealed bags. There is no chlorine or other preserving agents added, just sweet tender leaves and fresh air.

As well as bagged leaf much of the crop is sold loose so that customers in the Farm Shop can select just as much as they need. No more half eaten bags of soggy salad at the bott om of your fridge.

Unlike many other farms in the Thames Valley, Secrett s have conti nued to grow using the principles of a traditi onal market garden. This means that it has not set all of the land aside for just one or two high yielding crops but, instead it conti nues to grow a wide and hugely diverse mix right through the year.

As well as the baby leaf, Secrett s Farm grows many varieti es of lett uce including Lollo Rosso, Cos, Lollo Bionda and Baby Gem. The sight of the young lett uce plants in straight rows out in the fi eld is really quite a joyful sight and reminds us that salad comes out of the ground and not a bag.

Then there are of course the wonderful summer crops of strawberries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries and plums. Not to menti on, pumpkins, corn on the cob and all of the root vegetables later in the year.

How lucky are we to have a farm growing such a wide and exciti ng range of produce right here on our doorstep in the heart of the Surrey Hills?

And how proud would Frederick Augustus be, to know that the fi ne traditi on and careful disciplines of growing fruit and vegetables that he started back in 1908 conti nue today, as it did then, at Secrett s Farm?

TELESCOPIC PATIO ENCLOSURES CORSO

For free site visit, please quote RA05

We are very excited to offer a unique solution – the fully telescopic CORSO patio enclosure. The smart gliding system allows you to open and close each segment in both directions with ease. Thanks to the sliding system you can enjoy your patio in rainy or windy days and when the sun comes out you can simply slide the segments away and enjoy sunrays! CORSO patio enclosures offers you a newly created space which can be used as a relaxing area, outdoor dining room, smoking area or as a storage for your garden furniture in winter time.

All CORSO patio enclosures are bespoke to fit your individual needs. The whole structure is made from aluminium sections in six trendy colours (white, beige, silver, bronze, anthracite and timber effect). The frame can be filled either with polycarbonate or safety toughened glass, both options have excellent heat insulation properties. Thanks to the enclosure,

heat loss is limited to a minimum during cooler days and nights. In spring and autumn temperature inside the enclosure can

easily reach comfortable room temperature. As an extra bonus the enclosure eliminates heat loss in an adjacent area, therefore you can save money on heating bills.

The structure is made from materials which are weather resistant. The manufacturer provides a 15 year warranty for polycarbonate, which is specially designed and tested for hailstones. Rails and surface of every enclosure can be easily cleaned just with jet-wash mixed with disinfectant. Doors, locks and other mechanisms can be simply sprayed with lubricant oil once or twice a year, and the safety glass can be cleaned the same way as windows. Installation of the unit takes approximately one day, dependent on size of the cover.

HEALTH

If you’ve never been to a yoga class you might imagine a room full of super-supple people contorti ng themselves into painful-looking positi ons, and thought it wasn’t for you. But the word ‘yoga’ which has its origins in the Sanskrit word ‘yui’, really means ‘union’, because classical yoga uses the breath to unite body and mind.

This ‘union’ is achieved in a classical, or Hatha, yoga class through a combinati on of physical postures, breathing exercises, meditati on and relaxati on. More than 2,000 years ago, the Indian sage Patanjali is believed to have collated the practi ce of yoga into the Yoga Sutras. In these he identi fi ed the eight limbs of yoga: the Yamas (restraints), Niyama (observances), Asana (postures), Pranayama (breathing), Pratyhara (withdrawal of senses), Dharana (concentrati on), Dhyani (meditati on), and Samadhi (absorpti on).

Most modern yoga practi ce concentrates on the third limb, the Asanas, or physical postures. Treati ng yoga like an exercise class has given rise to the common myth that you have to be very fi t and supple to be able to ‘do’ yoga. This isn’t true, the Asanas should form a valuable part of a balanced practi ce, but they are only one of the eight limbs of yoga.

Classically the Asanas helped maintain the physical strength and health of the body in preparati on for the practi ce of meditati on - they weren’t devised to make you the bendiest person in the room. An experienced teacher is able to off er an accessible yoga class, which combines the physical (the Asanas), with the breath (Pranyama), meditati on (Dhyana) and relaxati on.

By providing a comfortable, non-judgmental environment, your yoga teacher can help you as you start to ‘listen’ to your body, noti cing your own limitati ons, without punishing your body by pushing it too far. To work

in harmony with your body you will need to practi se with mindfulness and awareness, using your breath to unite your body and mind. Focusing mindfully on your breath as you hold an Asana will help you relax into the posture whilst calming and clearing your mind. This union of the breath and movement is the art and the beauty of yoga.

By directi ng your att enti on inwards you can learn to recognise habitual thought patt erns without labelling them, judging them, or

trying to change them. Gradually you become more aware of experiences from moment to moment. The awareness that you culti vate is what makes yoga a practi ce, rather than a task or a goal to be completed.

Alongside the Asanas, a balanced Hatha yoga class will include Pranayama, specifi c breathing exercises or breath control. There are many Pranayama exercises, all having diff erent eff ects and benefi ts, from creati ng energy, clearing the mind, cooling/warming the body, cleansing the body, to balancing the energy or calming the mind. Pranayama exercises are best learnt alongside an experienced teacher and then practi sed at home.

Meditati on forms the seventh limb (Dhyani) and is ulti mately at the heart of a balanced and holisti c yoga practi ce. Meditati on, like most experiences is diffi cult to express in words, but one might think of it as a ‘joyful experience of peace’. Once your body feels strong and relaxed through practi sing the Asanas, it is a natural step to turn your att enti on then to the mind. Meditati on is used in yoga to bring about mental and emoti onal balance, in fact Yogis oft en describe it as the cessati on of mental acti vity. Within a class setti ng, the teacher will oft en use a guided meditati on practi ce to help in the initi al stages of the session.

Relaxati on is an integral part of a Hatha yoga class too. Your teacher should plan the class, allowing ti me for you to relax physically and emoti onally. Yogic relaxati on helps you sett le your mind; it’s a concentrati on exercise for both body and mind, that helps you control mental acti vity and fi nd inner sti llness.

By combining exercise, breath control, meditati on and relaxati on, Hatha yoga can be the perfect anti dote to our modern, fast-paced stressful lives. Taking ti me out, even if it’s only one class a week, to relax, be in the moment and stretch your body, can help lower your stress levels, and tone your body and quieten your mind.

June is a great month for fi shermen. The start of our metrological summer means bumper catches of traditi onal summer species like carp and tench on venues like Broadwater Lake and the nati onally renowned Marsh Farm Fishery at Milford. It also heralds the start of the river fi shing season on June 16th. The river fi shing above and below Godalming is as varied as anywhere in the country. The river above the town bridge is non-

navigable and has all the classic features of a traditi onal small English river. Overhanging trees, weedy riffl es and deep pools invite you to wander and try diff erent swims. The river may be small but the fi sh are spectacular. Double fi gure barbel, chub to over six pounds and some huge perch can all be caught along this charming secti on of river. Below the town bridge the river changes character and becomes navigable. The channel is more uniform and its downward journey punctuated by the locks at Catt eshall, Peasmarsh and St Catherine’s. The fi sh grow big here and there are a fair few river carp to add to the more traditi onal river species. The fi shing below town bridge is available on a day ti cket from local tackle shops (Guildford Angling Centre and Marsh Farm) or R&V newsagent on Meadrow. Above the town bridge the river is open to Godalming Angling Society members and their guests. So if you fancy wetti ng a line by the river then do give it a go. But remember river fi shing is closed nati onally unti l June 16th!

Godalming Town Council

NEWS Summer 2014

Just a quick update for our regular readers on where we are with the Neighbourhood Plan. More than 60 volunteers have formed into six working groups and, with the support of Chris Bowden from Navigus Planning and staff from Godalming Town Council, they are starting to prepare the plan. The working groups will be identifying issues, collecting evidence and identifying options.

The groups are looking at six main themes, these are: Community & Infrastructure (which will cover education, health services, crime, utilities, arts & culture, sports, social activity); Economy (looking at commerce/industry, retail and homeworking); Heritage & Design (which will cover the built environment and what it looks like); Housing (looking at the quantity, type and location of current and future housing); Environment & Water Management (looking at the natural environment, landscape integrity, recreational open spaces, water courses and sewage & waste water) and Transport (which will cover the capacity of roads and public transport, issues of design & safety and parking).

The working groups are each relatively small and their work has to take place in consultation with

the wider community. If you are not on one of the working groups you should look out for all opportunities to have your say in the process.

The Neighbourhood Plan Roadshow will be out at events in and around the town this summer. Alternatively if you’d like someone to come and present the work of the Neighbourhood Plan so far to your community group just get in touch with Louise Goodfellow at [email protected].

The Neighbourhood Plan Roadshow will be at the following events:

Saturday 7 June 2014 – The Godalming Town Show

Saturday 5 July 2014 – The Summer Food Festival

Saturday 9 August 2014 – The Family Party in the Park

For more details on these events, venues and timings check the events diary on the Godalming Town Council website www.godalming-tc.gov.uk or follow us on Twitter - @GOFARNP

The Wilfrid Noyce CentreRefurbishment of the Wilfrid Noyce Community Centre looks likely to commence in the summer of 2015.

Opened as a Youth Centre in 1962 the Wilfrid Noyce Centre is currently running at almost full capacity despite parts of the building showing its age. Six months ago Godalming Town Council appointed a working group to look at the future of the centre. That group studied various options, consulted current and potential users of the community centre and ran an online survey to ascertain what facilities the residents of Godalming wanted.

On 24 April 2014 the Council’s Policy & Management Committee considered a report

submitted by the working group. The report identifi ed the need to provide greater fl exibility enabling the centre to be used by more than one user at a time. It was recommended alterations be made to create three separate halls that can be used simultaneously for different activities whilst maintaining capacity of the current main hall, which is one of the largest activity spaces in the area.

The working group also recommended energy effi ciency improvements, upgrading of the kitchen and toilets facilities, improved acoustics, better storage and visual improvements to the exterior of the building. Some of the proposals will be subject to landlord consent and planning approval. Continued over...

The Wilfrid Noyce Centre (cont.)

The working group also looked at how the work could be funded within the Town Council’s overall budget. Potentially the cost of the improvements is £700,000 - £800,000, for which the Town Council would need to obtain a loan. The loan would be repaid over 30 years and would cost the Town Council in the region of £48,000 per annum in repayments. By budgeting carefully and saving money elsewhere the Town Council plans to meet those borrowing costs without increasing its charge to Godalming’s taxpayers.

As such the Policy & Management Committee will recommend to the Full Council at a meeting, to be held on 26 June 2014, that it accepts the recommendations to refurbish and improve the Wilfrid Noyce Community Centre and should apply to the Department of Communities & Local Government for a borrowing provision of up to £800,000. Members of the public are welcome to attend Godalming Town Council meetings and residents of Godalming may, if they wish, request to make statements or ask questions on any of the agenda items of those meetings.

This year four of the town’s unsung heros were recognised for their huge contribtion to our community life, they were:

Terry Grimwood for his continuous support for ex service personnel and injured veterans within the local area. Terry is the local representative for the Not Forgotten Association, which is a unique national tri-service charity which provides entertainment, leisure and recreation for the

serving wounded, injured or sick and for ex-service men and women with disabilities. Terry is also seen selling poppies outside Waitrose for two weeks each November and single-handedly collects in the region of £10,000 annually for the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal. Terry has also recently helped to set up the Godalming Veteran’s Mess, without which veterans would have nowhere to meet, the Mess is a vital contact point for many.

Nick Hetherington for many years of volunteering for the Citizens Advice Bureau and a number of other charities and organisations, both locally and internationally, particularly those

helping young people. Over many years Nick has contributed to the community through volunteering as clerk to the School Governors at Farncombe Infants School, Trustee and Treasurer to Queen Street pre-school and

Registrar to Queen Street Baptist Church. Nick was instrumental in setting up the Community Street Team, which helps to reduce antisocial behaviour in Farncombe through engaging with young people in the area. He is also a regular member of local “litter picks”.

Kevin Marshall for taking on the Commercial Co-ordinator duties for Godalming Town Football Club to raise funds and the profi le of the club. Kevin is at the forefront of the football club’s involvement in the local community, bringing the two together through sport. It is also Kevin’s role to raise

sponsorship for the club and he does this well with his welcoming and friendly personality.

Gill Redrup for her contribution to girl guiding in the local area over many years. Not only does Gill organise her own girl guiding troop in Farncombe, she also organises camps that all

the guiding and scouting troops attend within the district. Gill has also helped with local Brownie and Rainbow troops and endlessly devotes her time and energy to this cause. Gill plays an important role in occupying young people within the 10-14 age range giving them somewhere to go and currently gives 35 girl guides a focus they might not otherwise have. It is a testament to her that she has been involved in girl guiding for 30 years.

Practical and stylish our awnings outstretch to provide a welcome roof to the outdoor area, offering protection from the ever changing British weather conditions. Shade is provided from the suns intense heat to keep you cool on even the hottest summer days whilst shelter is offered from those unexpected and often persistent rain showers. Damaging ultraviolet rays are blocked providing optimum protection to the skin whilst harsh light is filtered to stop unwanted glare.

The adjoining internal room also benefits as our awnings stop the suns heat rays reaching the glass, reducing solar heat gain and naturally cooling the internal environment along with protecting furnishings from bleaching by the sun, all whilst maintaining the view.

We offer 2 different operations for awnings, manual and motorised. Optional accessories including strip lighting which gives off a golden ambient glow and infra-red heating where the heat doesn’t blow away allow you to continue to use your awning long into the evening, whilst

Get ready for the hottest summer Britain is ever going to have… well there’s no harm being prepared!

Questions& AnswersGARDENING

A: I have been asked this questi on many ti mes by new clients. The Oxford English Dicti onary defi nes a weed as “a wild fl ower that is growing in the wrong place” but everyone’s interpretati on of a weed is diff erent which is why it is so confusing. For example I love Aquilegias so I leave them to do their own thing, but I dislike Celandines. Some of our customers like forget-me-nots and bluebells, but others want them removed.

If you have a wild area in your garden you might let sti nging nett les grow to help butt erfl ies, but you don’t

want them in a childrens’ play area. Some people also let brambles grow in their garden so they can harvest the blackberries. I would also put some culti vated plants such as Vinca (periwinkle) and Alchilla mollis (lady’s mantle) on the weed list simply because they spread indiscriminately.

So, you can choose what is a weed in your own garden. If you like a plant and believe it has a useful role to play then leave it. If you don’t, then whip it out. And if anyone has a use for sycamore seedling please email me!

Q: How can I make my own good compost?

A: There are a lot of diff erent opinions on compost making, but in my experience the way that works the best is to mix many diff erent materials together.

Some people separate grass cutti ngs, prunings, leaves and weeds. This can result in large quanti ti es of leaf mould with litt le nutriti onal value and a soggy sludge from the grass.

I prefer to put in all garden material together, with the excepti on of perennial weeds such as ground elder, bindweed and perennial nett le. Even twigs and sti cks up to the width of a fi nger will rot eventually.

You can also use kitchen waste such as raw fruit and vegetables, but never anything cooked, or any meat, as the local rats will have a feast.

I think the key to good compost is ti me and turning over. The best compost heaps work where we can fi ll one area over the summer and then cover and ignore it. In the winter we turn it into another area, cover and ignore. By the following autumn it is ready to use as a mulch for the beds, with very litt le eff ort. If you only have a small area then just separate it into two.

Q: Can I grow Camellias and Rhododendrons in my garden?

A: Camellias, Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Acers all belong to a group of plants that like acid or ericaceous soil. The easiest way to tell if your soil is acidic is to

see what is growing in your immediate area. If you have wild Rhododendron ponti cum growing nearby, or your neighbours have a magnifi cent display of Camellias (left ) then there is a good chance you have the right soil. Beware of local changes that can be made by imported top soil and bark mulch.

There are a number of soil testi ng kits available, the simplest of which is similar to a meat thermometer, with a probe that instantly tells you the pH of the soil. Ideally it should be 6.5

or below. If your soil is not acidic enough it is sti ll possible to grow dwarf varieti es in containers. Just make sure you use the correct compost for acid loving plants, and apply ericaceous food on a regular basis.

BurntOut Theatre is a Surrey-based theatre company run by actress and director Clemmie Reynolds, who grew up in Shamley Green and went to St Catherine’s School in Bramley.

BurnOut Theatre specialises in open-air and site-specifi c theatre featuring original music played live by Clemmie’s brother James, a composer for TV and theatre. They will be touring their producti on of ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ to open-air venues in Surrey this July.

Clemmie set up BurntOut Theatre as a way to make work for herself and her fellow RADA drama school graduates in an increasingly saturated industry: “I quickly became ‘burnt-out’ with the apparent impenetrability of the acti ng world, parti cularly for women, and so decided to make my own work.”

The impetus for the company was a chance meeti ng with Caroline, Countess of Harrowby, of Burnt Norton in Gloucestershire. Caroline’s fi rst husband very sadly died of Multi ple Sclerosis (MS) and she was looking for someone to put on a play in the beauti ful grounds of her Cotswolds home, and raise money for the MS

Society in the process. Burnt Norton is a magical place that lends itself to open air theatre, in fact it was the notorious empty pools that were the inspirati on behind the fi rst part of T.S. Eliot’s famous poem ‘Four Quartets’.

That summer in 2012, Clemmie gathered her RADA classmates and set to work creati ng a producti on of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in under six weeks. With no budget for rehearsal space, they rehearsed in a London park, declaiming ‘The course of true love never did run smooth’ to crowds of bemused picnickers. The company borrowed costumes from a local school and lights and set from a local farmer. The performers gave up a week of their holidays rehearsing in all weather conditi ons, sleeping in a crumbling shed in the grounds and washing their hair in buckets - the glamorous life of an actor!

Caroline had no idea what to expect or whether anyone would come to the shows. But to everyone’s delight, the play att racted packed audiences and wonderful feedback: “Truly excepti onal” said Prue Leith, whilst Roger Pringle, former Director of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, found it “enchanti ng”.

Crucially, it fulfi lled Caroline’s wish to support the MS Society. Over just fi ve performances, the producti on raised over £8,000.

Taking theatre outdoors

“Easily the most age-accessible Shakespeare I’ve watched,

with adults and children alike in hoots of laughter…”

49 June 2014

Thus began BurntOut’s formula, of site-specifi c Shakespeare coupled with raising funds and awareness for charity.

Clemmie’s next move was to put on a show in her home county of Surrey. She had been to the ‘Life of Christ’ producti on at the Wintershall Estate in Bramley as a child, and had been enchanted by the epic vistas and wild woodlands of the estate. She wrote to Peter Hutley, the owner of Wintershall, asking if she might bring her band of players to his home to put on ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in the magical and expansive grounds that seemed made for it. He agreed.

Wintershall lends itself to the energeti c and freneti c nature that characterises BurntOut’s producti ons, rendering actors physically ‘burnt-out’ by the end! Audiences watch actors running from a mile away to enter the scene, and fi nd themselves in a surround-sound experience, as characters appear from all sides; shouti ng, singing, sword fi ghti ng and dancing.

Clemmie was keen to involve local Surrey school children in the producti on, helping them to gain theatre experience onstage and backstage. Katherine Brookes, from the Duke of Kent School, said: “It was a truly inspiring producti on for us as a school theatre group”. BurntOut’s producti ons are parti cularly suitable for children, and they hope to be able to att ract lots more school groups and young people this year.

In 2013 the company also toured to Dorset, returned to Burnt Norton (with a WWI version of ‘As You Like It’), and won presti gious performance slots in RADA’s annual drama festi val. They conti nued to raise funds for chariti es at each venue including the MS Society and the Wind of Hope (for victi ms of HIV in Kenya).

This July BurntOut are delighted to be returning to Wintershall with Shakespeare’s ‘Much Ado About Nothing’, performing as

part of the Guildford Fringe Festi val, which has been gathering pace and followers since incepti on last July. Nick Wychsna, Guildford Fringe Festi val’s Director, said: “To have such a large scale open-air Shakespeare play in Guildford Fringe Festi val is a complete honour. This is a producti on that is not to be missed”.

‘Much Ado About Nothing’ will be performed at Clandon Wood Natural Burial Reserve on 5th and 6th July and then at the Wintershall Estate in Bramley from 16th to 20th July.

Audiences will be treated to lakeside performances of this much-loved romanti c comedy with breathtaking views of the surrounding Surrey Hills. This 1920’s adaptati on will invite audiences to don their best vintage outf its and picnic with the ‘bright young things’ of Duke Leonato’s Court. There will be fl appers, a swing band, a trapeze arti st and original music by company composer James Reynolds.

Local music maestro Ian Young will also join the team this year, bringing his excellent swing band to play at each performance. BurntOut Theatre will be raising money at each performance for local chariti es Disability Challengers and the Wintershall Charitable Trust Fund.

BurntOut Theatre is branching out in other ways this year, with their fi rst commission of a new play. The play is set on a sugar plantati on in 1808, and features interlinking stories of both slave and slave owners. It will be performed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in June, and in October at Holy Trinity Church in Clapham, where William Wilberforce began his aboliti on campaign.

The Godalming HubIntroducti onThe Godalming Hub, which is part of the Surrey Hubs project, is one in a trailblazing initi ati ve which is being led by the four county wide User Led Organisati ons in Surrey, in partnership with Surrey County Council Adult Social Care.

These organisati ons are Surrey Coaliti on of Disabled People, Sur-rey Disabled People’s Partnership (SDPP), Surrey Independent Living Council (SILC) and Acti on for Carers Surrey

The overall aim of the Hubs is to allow disabled people, their family, carers, professionals and other members of the commu-nity access to a wide range of informati on regarding services in their community. The Hubs also act as a portal to access advice and support such as; advocacy, independent living, welfare ben-efi ts advice and other services. The proposal is to have a Hub in each of the 11 district and boroughs across Surrey, which will be located in an accessible town centre locati on.

The informati on and support in the Hubs is provided by trained volunteers, many of whom are disabled people, older people or carers themselves – therefore they understand the issues that customers have to deal with.

Each Hub has a Volunteer Development Worker whose role is to oversee the smooth running of the Hub, ensure a high quality, professional service is provided to our customers and to sup-port, train and develop a skilled team of volunteers. Informati onThe Hubs provide high quality informati on on all aspects of dis-ability, being a carer, older people, family and community. Easy access to accurate and up to date informati on can enable people to make informed choices, promote people’s independence and support equality of opportunity.

We provide a service which is confi denti al, free, comprehensive and professional and always seek to ensure that: -

• Informati on is available through our accessible Hub locati ons, through outreach into the community and also by telephone, text or email.• Informati on is accurate and up to date; researched from a variety of sources including: Surrey Informati on Point (Surrey County Council website); An extensive library of books, leafl ets, catalogues etc; DissBase, Ask SID (Nati onal and Local disability database); Internet searches; and Volunteer local knowledge and experience• Informati on is provided immediately, unless we need to under-

take research. In this case we will always advise when we expect the informati on to be available and ensure this is followed up and communi-cated• Informati on is given in clear, concise, jar-gon-free language and in any format as re-quested by the customer • Resources are regularly reviewed and amend-ed as appropriate

All customer enquiries are recorded using a generic enquiry form and then added to an in-ternal, secure database. This informati on is also used to monitor the acti vity in the Hub and the value it provides to the community.

Signposti ng and ReferringThe Hubs also provide direct access to a wide range of services for people who express an in-terest and need for support.

The team are trained to signpost people to services for professional advice or support, to meet individual and family needs. For example, volunteers could signpost a customer to their local CAB for debt advice or Surrey County Council contact centre for access to social care assessments and services.

Direct referrals are oft en made to the Surrey wide Advocacy service and Welfare Benefi ts Service.

Drop in SessionsTo ensure that the Hubs operate to enable friends, families and the local community to access quality informati on, advice and sup-port, we acti vely encourage a range of drop in sessions with voluntary organisati ons, local authority, professionals and support groups within each Hub.

These will be publicised and promoted so that if customers want to drop by their local Hub and speak to a trained professional, they can do so.

For more details, visit www.thesurreyhubs.org.uk or pop in at 94 High Street, Godalming.

1. Wash the trout inside and out. One Sea Trout will usually feed four as a main course or more as a starter. If you are using Brown or Rainbow trout you will probably need two for a main course for four.

2. Grease a sheet of cooking foil and place the trout on it. Fill the body cavity with chopped spring onion, watercress and some slices of lemon and a knob of butt er. Smear a bit more butt er on the top skin and seal the foil around the trout. 3.Place on a baking tray or roasti ng ti n and cook at 180°C for 45 minutes or 12 minutes per pound or half kilogram. When fi nished, take out of the oven and leave in the foil for 20 minutes or so.

4. Wash the samphire and place in a steamer, you will need about 75 grams per porti on. Steam for a few minutes unti l it soft ens; steam it for too long and it will break up, so watch it carefully.

5. Sti r some chopped watercress leaves into mayonnaise to serve with the trout.

6. When the trout is ready, open the foil carefully so that you do not lose the juices. Strip off the skin from the visible side of the fi sh, slide a knife into the mid line of the back and ease the fi llet away, starti ng at the head end just behind the gills. The backbone should then be easy to lift away, leaving the lower fi llet to be lift ed away from the skin.

7. Spoon the juices, spring onion, watercress and lemon onto the fi llets and serve with the steamed samphire and watercress mayonnaise.

8. If using as a main course, couscous makes a good accompaniment to this dish, as do new potatoes with mint.

June is a ti me when many wild foods are at their best; combine these with some of the culti vated foods in season now and you can create some wonderful dishes. Here are a few seasonal suggesti ons.

Sea Trout with Samphire

A Foraged Meal for SummerPeter Sibley from Forest Foragers offers us three courses mixing wild and farmed ingredients

Sea Trout is in season now, but if you cannot get any, Brown or Rainbow Trout may be substi tuted in this recipe, though they lack the fl avour of Sea Trout.

Peter Sibley and his business partner Cliff ord Davy run Forest Foragers, which was formerly called Wild Harvest, and run regular foraging courses near Godalming, Surrey. You can join them for a full-day course, or an aft ernoon foray, in recognising, collecti ng, preparing, preserving and cooking edible wild plants and mushrooms. The full-day Wild Food Foraging Course consists of a morning identi fi cati on session, covering the principal edible plants and fungi, (notes provided), followed by a substanti al lunch featuring some of these. The morning session will also cover hazards to be avoided when collecti ng. The aft ernoon sees you going out to fi nd wild plants and mushrooms.

They will be running Wild Food Foraging Courses (£115 per person) at the the Chichester Hall, Witley, nr Godalming, Surrey on the following Saturdays: 27th September, 4th October, 11th October, 18th October and 25th October. These are from 10am to 5pm. In additi on they will run Aft ernoon Forays (£25 per person) somewhere in Surrey on the following Sundays: 20th and 28th September, 19th October and 9th November. Aft ernoon Forays are designed for parti cipants who have already undertaken the full one day course, and are suitable for experienced foragers only. All courses numbers are limited to 14 and the courses are not suitable for children.

55 June 2014

FOODFOOD

Lamb and wild green vegetables

June is when salt marsh lamb becomes available. Lamb raised on the sea-washed turf of sea marshes has a special succulence and the fat has a unique fl avour which comes from the animal’s diet, made up of seashore herbs and salt-tolerant grasses. It is more expensive than ordinary lamb but worth it for a special meal.

For this recipe you can use either a leg or a shoulder of lamb. If using shoulder it is best to cook it on a trivet to let some of the fat drip out. For the wild leaves there is a considerable choice. If you can get to the coast, Sea Beet Alexanders and Sea Purslane are all available. Use the leaves of Sea Beet, add the young shoots of Alexanders and use the Purslane as a fl avouring. Inland, Garlic Mustard, Hog Weed and the Chenopods, (Common Orache, Fat Hen, Good King Henry and Red Goosefoot), are all in season.

Frozen Elderfl ower Posset

A posset was originally a warm drink made from milk and wine or cider. The acid in the wine or cider curdled the milk. These days a posset is a cream or milk based pudding, usually chilled or frozen. Our medieval ancestors wouldn’t recognise it! This recipe is like a granita. The ingredients are very simple and so is the recipe.

1. Peel three or four cloves of garlic, according to size, and cut into slivers. Using a sharp, thin knife make holes in the surface of the lamb and insert the slivers of garlic, one to each hole.

2. Cut a pocket in the joint, next to the bone, and insert some chopped spring onion, wild leaves, oregano and mint. Close the pocket with a cocktail sti ck.

3. Cook at 220°C for 20 minutes per pound or half kilogram and 20 minutes extra, less if you like it rare.

4. Let the lamb rest for ten minutes before carving.

5. Serve the lamb with any of the greens menti oned above, boiled

or steamed, as you would spinach, plus some roast vegetables and gravy made with the meat juices.

Delicious!

1. You will need 150ml or ¼ pint of double cream, ¼ pint of Elderfl ower cordial, (either home-made or bought) and some berries and sugar to serve.

2. Whisk the cream in unti l it forms soft peaks, then add the cordial, a bit at a ti me, unti l it is all combined.

3. Freeze this in a plasti c container.

4. When required, spoon the frozen mixture into a blender or food processor and blend, which will break up any ice crystals, then transfer to dessert dishes and leave in the freezer for several hours.

5. Before serving, put in the fridge for twenty minutes or so, add some berries to each dish and sprinkle on some icing sugar. Enjoy!

GARDEN

What to do in JuneWith Matt hew Pott age, Garden Manager at RHS Garden Wisley

Now we have the risk of night frosts behind us, this is the ulti mate green light to get garden-ing! Take a look at your window boxes and pots and choose what style you will be planti ng this year.

For fl ower power, look at trailing petunias, New Guinea impati ens (mildew resistant busy lizzie) or the ever reliable begonias. The garden centres are now well stocked with summer bedding, so now is the ti me to plant for summer impact.

If fl owers are not your thing, think of foliage plants such as the silver leaves of Dichondra

Frosty goodbyes

Aft er such a mild winter I’m not surprised the ivy on the sheltered wall of my London home is literally dripping with aphids and at Wisley we are not short of lily beetles and you can hear the army of slugs and snails fl ocking to the Hosta dis-play in the Walled Garden West!

However, we have the advantage of sti ll being early enough in the growing season to catch populati ons before they cause signifi cant dam-age. Watch out for the young growth of vege-table plants, perennials and emerging summer bulbs. Whether you wish to try the chemical-free nematode treatment, Nemaslug, for slugs, or blasti ng aphids off with a hosepipe, or chemical treatment on lily beetles, now is the ti me to act.

Hunti ng the infestati ons down early, rather than wincing at your shredded leaves in mid July is the answer. If you are not squeamish, wandering around the garden on a rainy or damp evening can yield many slugs and snails for the picking. Equally peeping behind wall shrubs on brick walls where snails tend to be found en masse.

‘Silver Falls’ (pictured) planted alongside blue succulents such as Echeveria elegans with a centrepiece like an Agave or Yucca.

At Wisley this summer, we’ll be giving fl oriferous sum-mer bedding a miss in the Walled Garden East, and

planti ng it with a colourful patchwork of herbs, to link with ‘Herbfest’, a festi val of cooking with herbs, which our caterers are championing.

Do not forget how ornamental and colourful herbs can be – from purple basils to silver sages.

If your love of cooking is greater than your love of fl owers, why not fi ll your pots with colourful herbs

this summer? The only secrets are good light and lots of liquid food. Herbs tend to run to fl ower or become small and insipid if not given access to decent nutrients, so while enjoying

At Wisley we have been busy putti ng the fi nal pieces of staking and supports around clumps of herbaceous perennials.

There is nothing more disappointi ng than to fi nd a clump of sedum you have watched grow throughout the summer collapse outwards aft er a spell of wind and rain. Before the stems are too tall, insert supports around the plants for them to grow through or metal link stakes around the clump to contain the plants.

If you are happy to have shorter plants with later, more compact fl owers, ‘Chelsea Chopping’ is a method of cutti ng herbaceous plant stems in half in a bid to make them more compact, (traditi onally carried out during the week of the Chelsea Flower Show, but can be done into early June). Try it on your sedums or phlox this year.

1. Take the footpath alongside the Lord Raglan pub and through Chequers Quay. Go under the arch and through a gate onto the path along-side Slipper Mill Pond. At the end of the pond, go through the gate and then turn right in front of the converted mill building.

2. Conti nue ahead through the boatyard. Watch out for moving machinery. Aft er the fi rst few ‘sti lt’ houses, turn left and then right at the next footpath sign along Osprey Quay.

3. Look out for the footpath on the left across a fi eld. There are usually horses in this fi eld. At the road, turn right and then shortly left into Thornham Lane. (The small and free parking area here is an alternati ve starti ng point.) Just past Thornham Marina there are some large rocks across the road.

4. Immediately past the rocks take the footpath to the left . At the shoreline turn right shortly crossing a wooden bridge. Keep going on the shoreline path unti l you come to the large secu-rity gates. Just before the gate, drop down the bank on the right to see Thorney Deeps. This was once part of the Chichester Ship Canal.

5. At the gates press the buzzer. You will be asked your name, address, contact telephone number and purpose of visit. Do not be put off , this is a formality as the land past the gate is owned by the Ministry of Defence.

Once on Thorney Island do not stray off the clearly marked path. Call the Guard Post on 01243 388269 or the Guard Room on 01243 388275 if you get into diffi culty.

Thorney Island, near Chichester

The walk

This is the ideal walk for those who love sea views. Doing the walk clockwise from Emsworth gets the inland sections over at the beginning. Once onto the shoreline, the route is very easy to follow so you can concentrate on enjoying the route rather than reading instructions. A visit to the church is also a must as is looking out for many of the birds that thrive in this tranquil area. I appreciate that this walk is not exactly on the doorstep but it is a very fi ne one and well worth the trip. From time to time we will feature walks that are further afi eld when we feel they warrant it. I did this on a crisp sunny day in January and it was beautiful. It is a long walk but you do not have to do the full circuit if you want to take the children or the dog but please note that you must stick to the perimeter footpath. SR

6. Aft er about a mile you will pass a dinghy park. Just beyond, the path climbs up the bank towards the 13th century church of St Nicholas.

This 13th century church was described by AA Evans in the Chich-ester Diocesan Gazett e as the ‘loneliest, remotest, last seen, least known and altogether utmost church in Sussex’. This descripti on sti ll rings true today. The prett y church is sti ll used by local pa-rishioners but is inaccessible to the general public other than via the footpath or by yachtsmen landing at the nearby jett y. Despite its age there are a number of modern touches including an en-

If the path is fl ooded here, you can turn right before the club building, then left into the car park, keeping to the left and onto the path at the other end of the club. The path turns left and then returns to the shoreline.

At the ti p of the island you will see the sandy beach and dunes of Pilsey Island. This area is leased by the RSPB and is important for nesti ng and roosti ng birds. There is no public access from the footpath. Aft er a while you will come to a bird hide which is a good spot for a break on a windy or wet day. As you walk up the west side of the island, look out for seals on the mudfl ats if the ti de is low.

PROFILE

Do you know what The Fountain Centre is? Some of us fi nd out the hard way, but many local residents have no idea that they have this wonderful facility on hand when they need it most.

The Fountain Centre is an independent charity within St Luke’s Cancer Centre at the Royal Surrey County Hospital in Guildford – the main cancer hub in the South East. We off er informati on and support, counselling and a range of complementary therapies to cancer pati ents and their carers.

People come to us from all corners of Surrey and beyond.

Integrated cancer care, which involves therapies such as acupuncture, hypnotherapy, massage and meditati on - in conjuncti on with conventi onal medicine - is recognised by many health professionals as the way forward.

There are many ways in which we can help, from dealing with the initi al shock of a cancer diagnosis, minimising the side eff ects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, to re-establishing confi dence and well-being. Some therapies can help with pain, stress and sti mulati ng the body’s circulatory and immune systems. The fi rst four treatments are free; aft er that we ask pati ents to give a small donati on if they can.

Perhaps just as important is the feeling of sanctuary, quite unlike a hospital. One recent user explained: “Walking in the fi rst ti me was like balm on irritated skin. I was totally unprepared for the welcome. I always leave the centre feeling relaxed, listened to, supported and more cheerful.” The husband of a pati ent put his side of the story: “My wife and I spent a lot of ti me there while she was receiving treatment, and I would wait and have a

cup of coff ee, so we got to know everyone really well.

“When I was encouraged to have a refl exology treatment I wasn’t sure at all. I was a copper who had worked the streets of London. I thought complementary therapies were not for me. But the therapist put me totally at ease; it was fabulous. I had more refl exology and massage therapies. It changed my life,

allowing me to unwind during a really rough ride that lasted several years.”

Cancer services are constantly evolving. The Fountain Centre plans to expand into other hospitals in the region, as the NHS develops the delivery of chemotherapy at a more local level. Talks are well under way with Frimley Park and Ashford/St Peter’s about providing support and informati on to chemotherapy pati ents. By this ti me next year we hope these services will be up and running, though perhaps not quite on the same scale as we have within the Royal Surrey.

The Fountain Centre is run by a small team and has approximately 95 volunteers. The majority are qualifi ed therapists and 15 are counsellors. At present around 650 people use the centre every month. It receives no money from the government. It has to raise all the money it needs to keep going by its own eff orts. It costs about £180,000 per year to run, which is ti ny compared to other well-known local causes.

But we make the money work really hard and put the ‘fun’ into fundraising whenever we can – highlights in the last year include abseiling off the Cathedral Tower and our Annual Fashion Show. We keep going, and growing, enti rely through the love and generosity of the community we support.
