Scientists are coming to the conclusion that we are more prone to colds and flu inthe winter due to low levels of the

“sunshine vitamin”, vitamin D, rather than colderweather, central heating, etc. Vitamin Dregulates the immune system, preventinginfections and inflammations due to autoimmuneconditions.

Most of our Vitamin D is formed under the skinin reaction to sunlight, but of course we mustremember to limit our exposure in order not toburn. It is found only in a small number of foods,mainly oily fish (herring, salmon, mackerel, tuna,sardines and cod liver oil), cheese and egg yolks.Margarine, breakfast cereals and powdered milkare often fortified. It is also important to consumeraw green leafy vegetables and a handful of nutsand seeds daily, to provide the minerals thatsupport vitamin D absorption.

Vitamin D deficiency is a real possibility thesedays due to low light levels, less time spentoutdoors and an excessive use of sunscreensduring the summer. Ideally, 15-20 minutes of sunexposure (depending on skin type) between 10am& 3pm twice a week, is recommended during thesummer and longer during winter.

You may need to take supplements if you worklong hours indoors. Take care though, becauseyou can over-dose on this vitamin as it is fatsoluble, but scientists believe the recommendedlevels, 400 international units (IUs) or 10

micrograms (mcg), are too low and 1000 IUs or 25mcg may be necessary to prevent disease.Others, like Heaney & Holick, recommend 3,000IUs depending on a person’s bodyweight. In theUK, pregnant, breastfeeding women and anyoneover 65 years old are advised to take a 10mcgsupplement, and babies from 6 months 7mcg. Askat your local NHS clinic about Healthy Start drops.

Vitamin D is best known for its role in calciummetabolism. Back in the mid 1880’s cod liver oilwas recognised as a cure for the childhood bonedisease rickets, however, not until 1921 didscientists realise that vitamin D was thecomponent that cured the rickets.

The encouraging thing about recent studies isthe increasing list of chronic conditions that maybe implicated in vitamin D deficiency such asdiabetes, heart disease, hypertension, mentalillness, multiple sclerosis, muscle weakness,osteoarthritis and some types of cancer. TheVitamin D Council has urged doctors to test thevitamin D levels of patients suffering the aboveconditions and treat with sunlight andsupplementation.

In the last century, tuberculosis patients wereprescribed sunshine. Are Mediterranean peopleso healthy due to diet alone, or the extra sunshinethey receive? More research is needed, but in the meantime we can begin to make anynecessary changes to ensure a happy, healthy New Year! Sue Blain

It can’t have escaped your notice that Britain is ina time of austerity. On TV, on the radio and inevery newspaper the talk is all about cuts,

budget deficits and us all ‘being in this together’.Whether or not we really are all in this together

is up for debate, but setting aside the politicalrights and wrongs of our current precariousfinancial situation, I wondered whether we couldlearn anything fromour grandparents orgreat-grandparents.Perhaps the time isright to re-examinehow they coped withthe austerity yearsduring and just afterthe Second WorldWar.

In the 1940severyone had to takeresponsibility foreconomising, savingand salvaging – orrecycling as it isknown today. Itbound peopletogether as theyfound ways to cope.Ooer … this soundsrather like ‘The BigSociety’ idea oftoday’s coalition!

There was a lot ofGovernmentpropaganda then too.Perhaps we’ll soonsee leaflets similar tothose issued duringthe 1940s, urging usto make do andmend; offering hintsabout washing, re-using andpatching; maybe we’ll even see one urging us tobe creative with potatoes … perhaps adorned witha photo of Jamie Oliver pointing towards theviewer and with the strap line Your CountryNeeds You.

Seriously though, we all need to think hardabout how we’ll get through the next four years ofcuts. I browsed through the list of evening classesat our local college recently. There were dress-making classes, basic cookery courses, engine

maintenance and one enigmatically entitled ‘up-cycling: make do and mend for modern times’.Perhaps these classes would be a good place tostart for those of us looking to do our bit while wesave a bit!

According to a recent article in the Daily Mail,there has been an increase in sales of brisket andfish paste! Other staples such as custard powder

and corned beefare also enjoyingan upsurge inpopularity. Itseems we’reforgoing thoseexpensive delisandwiches infavour of a packedlunch, before wereturn home totuck into a cheapand cheerfulcasserole followedby pud andcustard.

Certainlycheaper cuts ofmeat are morepopular at themoment ashouseholds try tomanage on lessincome. More of usare hitting themarkets in searchof bargains too.Veg boxes fromlocal greengrocersare better valuethan pre-packedsupermarketproduce.

Charity shopsand dress

agencies may be the beneficiaries of our newstate of penury as we rummage through the railsin search of bargains. We’ve had geek chic, nowit’s the turn of ration fashion. Remember, youheard it here first folks.

So perhaps the news isn’t all bad. We’re acreative and resourceful lot us Brits and few otherpeople are better in a crisis. Like the shrub prunedback for the winter, we may even come backstronger and more beautiful than before.

Make do and MendRation book chic is back!

Imentioned in last month’s Village Tweet thatBurdfield’s Country Market is in the buildingwhich had previously been known as the

Billingshurst Institute. Buildings such as theseexisted for the workingmen to have a place togo for ‘sober socialdiscourse’. There is aplaque on the east wall,visible from thesupermarket rearentrance.

There were concernsabout drunkenness andviolence amongst theworkers, but somepeople, like James HallRenton, believed thatworking men couldbetter themselves ifthey had places to go intheir precious few free hours instead of spendingtheir hard earned cash in the pub.

Known as the Billingshurst Institute and thenBillingshurst Working Man’s Club, the buildingwas owned by the Chichester Diocesan Fund and

held by the Parochial Church Council ofBillingshurst as custodian trustee. The buildingwas used and occupied by a social club whichwas operated by successive Trustees of the

Billingshurst Institute.However, in early

2004 the property wasabandoned by theTrustees. The buildingon the property wasseverely fire damagedby an arson attack on30th September 2004.On 16th September2005 following legalprocess the Lease wassurrendered and thePCC recovered theproperty.

We purchased thederelict, burnt out,

property in May 2006 and opened it up as a farmshop and tea room on 9th October 2006.

We would like to think of it as a place for local people to come for ‘social, sober, discourse’.Anita Burdfield

On New Years Day, 1660 Samuel Pepys(pronounced Peeps) began to keep a diary.When he started it he

could have had no idea what animportant document it wouldbecome. It is one of the mostimportant documents forhistorians studying the EnglishRestoration period, whichcoincidentally also began in1660.

What makes Pepys’ diaries sospecial is that for just under adecade he recorded theminutiae of his every day life. Hewas also quite well connected.His cousin, Edward Mountagu,was a high-ranking naval officerwho found a position for Pepysat the Navy Office in the City of London.

A combination of hard work and talent sawPepys promoted through the ranks very quickly.His cousin’s position meant that Pepys was able

to be present at many important events, all ofwhich he recorded in his meticulous shorthand.

For example, Pepys wasaboard one of the ships whichsailed to Holland to bring CharlesII back to England. He attendedKing Charles II’s coronation andhe was also President of theRoyal Society for a while.

Pepys recorded everything inhis diary. He wrote vivid accountsof the Great Plague and theGreat Fire of London. It is fromhim that we are able to relive thetheatre of the period, as well asfashion and popular food anddrink. His diary has been ofinvaluable assistance tohistorians and has given muchpleasure to its many readers.

Sadly, failing eyesight caused Pepys’ last entryto be written in 1669. His diaries were not fullydecoded until 1822 and were released in twovolumes in 1825.

‘Bludger’ is a New Zealand expressionwhich describes a person who bludgesoff others and doesn’t contribute much if

anything in return. It is usually used in aderogatory way. So why have I described myavian friends as bludgers? Well it’s like this …

When we moved to a more rural location ayear or so ago I was told by one of our moreenvironmentally inclined friends that it would bea good thing to feed the wild birds as life couldbe very hard for them in the winter. Of course, in the suburbs I had always ‘thrown bread outfor the birds’, usually eaten by squirrels andwoodpigeons but consciously feeding them was a bit of a novelty. So I got a bit of seed and threw it out. Some birds came, and so didthe cats!

Okay, throwing it on the ground wasn’t agreat idea so we salvaged an old bird feedingtable that had been thrown on the ‘tip’ pile, tiedits rotten standing up pole to the fence and usedthat for the seed. The birds came and the catswatched ‘cat television’ chattering in frustration.Obviously high up was the answer.

Then we found some old bird feeders in thestables so I bought some peanuts. They wentdown a treat as well. Then I found a very cheapset of bird feeders in the shop – full of seed ofdifferent kinds. Very successful. Next came thediscovery of fat balls ready made and in a net tohang them on the nearby tree with – another hitfor my feathered friends.

By this time, as you may have gathered, Iwas hooked. Breakfast and lunch provided theopportunity to watch the birds come and feed.Soon out came the binoculars so I could seethem in more detail – and then the bird bookwas opened so I could identify them. I guess forme that was the fun bit. Never mind that I didn’tget the obscure and exotic birds – just good oldfashioned robins, sparrows, tits (three varieties),finches (three again), jackdaws, starlings, woodpigeons (scraps eaters) and crows. It was justgreat fun to watch them flitting about and havinga good feed. We even had a great spottedwoodpecker who loved the peanuts and fatballs. What is amazing is that they don’t seem toargue and fight. They feed and come back andfeed and come back. Great stuff.

I’m sure you will be able to read all sorts ofsensible advice about bird feeding … but notfrom me! I search around for bargains in birdseed and fat ball and peanuts so it doesn’t costtoo much, and I still ‘throw bread out for thebirds’ – crows and jackdaws mostly. So althoughour avian visitors (bludgers) don’t seem to

contribute much to anything, they just eat andeat, I still just like doing it and it brings me greatpleasure.

And, who knows, maybe word will get around and some rare species will grace our feeding tree – and maybe even I’ll know what it is! Yvonne Adam

My Avian Bludgers

Top Bird-feeding Tips

Start with the basics A good qualitysunflower seed based mix in a tubular feederis a great starting point and will attract a widevariety of birds.

Add some extras Peanuts are a goodsource of protein and fat and are verypopular. Raisins and apple chunks on aplatform will attract blackbirds, thrushes andother fruit-lovers. Fat or suet is high-energyand gratefully received by many speciesduring colder weather. Niger seed in smallfeeders will attract shy goldfinches if hung ina quieter part of the garden.

Check your hygiene Feeders should beclean and mould-free or they may spreaddisease.

Don’t forget water Fresh water is reallyimportant, especially if temperatures arebelow freezing.

Safety first Consider placing stickers onpatio doors to reduce the risk of collisions.Protect birds from cats by hanging thefeeders high enough and removing anypotential hiding places nearby.

The freezing temperatures and the snow atthe beginning of December have causedchaos across the county and, for farmers,

much extra work …Where most people have been having trouble

getting to work, or having to stay at home, forthose who work with animals that option simplydoes not exist – the animals still have to be fedand watered and this takes much longer thanusual. Water in paticularly is a problem especiallyif, like me, you have to battle with frozen pipes.For most of the year such basics are taken forgranted but it is frustrating when you carrybuckets of water into the fields only to return afew minutes later to find the water frozen.

Forage hay is in short supply and expensiveso our sheep and goats are already eating hardinto our winter store. I know that many of you arein a similar position.

While plodding through the deep earlyDecember snow in the fields I couldn’t help butchuckle to myself about people who move to ‘thecountryside’ and think farming or running asmallholding is an easy option.

People have to help each other in harsh

weather. Being Sussex born and bred, my familyis always ready to help neighbours wheneverneeded, however busy we might be. And they in turn have helped us on many occasions. Thisis what community spirit is all about.

As I write this, the snow has melted but is set to return. Hopefully we will have a short, sharp winter. Jane

From a farm somewhere in West Sussex …

Pretty it may be, but spare a thought this winter for the

animals and farmersPhotos: Grahame Pearson

When visiting South Africa for the first time Itried to explore as many areas aspossible in the fortnight I had, only to

learn that the wealth of attractions brings meback, time and time again. This broad spectrumoffers something for everyone. The cosmopolitancity of Cape Town and the infamous GardenRoute; Wines that compete with the worlds best;History and the Battlefields of Kwazulu-Natal;Luxury Rail Journeys reviving memories offorgotten times; Dramatic landscapes of TableMountain, The Drakensberg Mountain Ranges,deep River Canyons and ever changingCoastlines to name but a few and, not to forget,the abundance of wildlife, endless animal speciesroaming in their natural environment.

The portfolio of accommodation choicesranging from outstanding small boutiqueproperties to 5-star luxury hotels coupled withfantastic food and wine have one element incommon, all are presented in a totally relaxedatmosphere at incredibly affordable prices.Whatever your budget, South Africa caters forwithout compromising on quality. One thing toremember – the flight is often the most expensiveelement of your itinerary. However, to soften theblow, jet lag is non existent with only a two-hour

time difference with that of the UK. And an addedbonus, depending on your interests, South Africais an all year round destination. To safari in KrugerNational Park, one of the best places on earth toview the Big Five, it’s best to visit at the end oftheir winter, September/October. At the end of thisdry season animals flock to the waterholes and,as vegetation is sparse, wildlife is seen inabundance. For an even closer encounter withwildlife, private game reserves, although moreexpensive, offer spectacular off the road gameviewing. Cape Town and the Garden Route hasweather similar to that of the French Riviera, hotand sunny in the summer, December/March andwarm and mild in winter.

When people question safety my advice is to be vigilant, as you would anywhere in the world,and not to draw attention to yourselves. Mypromise to you … Discovering this beautiful,diverse country leaves visitors experiencing aholiday of a lifetime with memories that will etchdeep within. Anita Kuypers

It’s the sort of place that could only exist in therolling countryside of Britain. Situated on theoutskirts of Horsham town, The Chequers Inn

combines a traditional English pub with the twist of amodern-styled restaurant.

For the past ten years the 15th Century pub hasundergone refurbishment by proprietors Tim andKaty Neal, who have successfully retained thoseoriginal pub features us Brits love to see: open fires;chunky oak beams; and a bar that’s only three feetaway from entrance.

This classic bar offers a wide selection of drinks,from locally brewed (and awarding winning) beerslike Harveys Best Bitter and Autumn Old Ale, tovintage Chilean wines, for that more sophisticatedouting.

Food here is phenomenal. Best I’ve ever had.There are two menus: the bar menu – providing thenation’s favourite pub grub such as bangers andmash, fish and chips, and steak. And the restaurantmenu – (this is when the pub really comes into itsown) serving such palatable pleasures as the UigLodge smoked Scottish Salmon, Cornish crab, withkohlrabi remoulade, followed by a main course, likethe Loin of British Pork Holstein with fondant potato,buttered spinach & French beans. Don’t let the hard-to-pronounce names put you off – the dishesare prepared to excellence, the presentation is

executed to perfection! Added to the menu on Sunday is a choice of beef,

lamb or pork roasts, served with all the trimmings ona portion size that’s more than generous.

I’m pleased to say it doesn’t stop there: HeadChef (and Master Chef of Great Britain) Tim Nealprovides a pudding menu that truly is the icing on thecake. I had the hand crafted sticky-toffee pudding onmy most recent visit – don’t leave without trying this!

Everything on the menu is reasonably priced fromaround £2 to £18.

The warm and friendly atmosphere is topped offby the very dapper (and typically English)characters, usually found sitting under paintings ofthemselves. The rustic features of the interiorcollaborate well with stylish ornaments and modernfacilities. It’s a design that’s been carefully andcleverly thought out, and pulled off with confidence.

This bar/restaurant combines outstanding andinventive food; great service; and a cosy ambiance.Qualities that place the pub in a league of their own.

The Chequers Inn is one of the county’s hiddengems, and I thoroughly recommend a visit!

Do you run a business? Are you planning asale or special offer for January? How canyou be sure that you make the most of this

lucrative month? To make sales you have to make friends. Yes, it

is that simple. When a salesperson greets aprospective buyer – be it in a shop, on thetelephone or online – they have approximately tenseconds to command attention.

Dale Carnegie, the author of the 1936 bookHow to Win Friends and Influence Peoplesuggested that to be a well liked individual, leaderor salesperson, the focus should not be on thedesired outcome. The attention should be on thejourney towards the final outcome. In sales thismeans placing all your attention on the otherperson.

Be genuinely interested in your customer,whether you know them already or they’re new toyour business. Make them feel important. Find outhow the customer likes to be addressed. Somepeople prefer first names; others feel morecomfortable with some professional distance.Once the customer is at ease they are much morelikely to be receptive to your approach. Speakwith a smile; it lightens the tone of the voice and itis more enjoyable to speak to a salesperson whosounds as though they enjoy their work.

During a face-to-face sale, keep an eye on yourcustomer’s body language. Open arms andnodding means they’re receptive to yoursuggestions whereas folded arms or turning awaymay mean that they’re not convinced. Asalesperson who is a good listener is also abonus. The customer should be given time andencouraged to ask questions. When a customerasks questions it means they’re involved andfocused on the sale. They may also provide useful

information which can be used to close the deal.Online sales are slightly trickier. The customer

is left to decide what they want and when theywant to buy it. Ensure that the sales page on thewebsite is up-to-date. Careful wording, lots ofinformation and pointers to popular products helpsteer customers through a website towards a sale.A clearly marked and easy-to-use ‘Help’ or‘Contact Us’ section will encourage customers toseek assistance should they require it.

Everyone loves a bargain, so salespeople whooffer an added bonus as a deal-breaker are themost memorable. All sales have boundaries, butmake sure that you leave some room for flexibility.Long-term bonuses or perks for returning customare a great way to retain customer loyalty.

Make every transaction and interactionpleasant. Simple things like remembering acustomer’s name or a simple ‘please’ or ‘thankyou’ are likely to turn a new customer into arepeat customer, and make it much more likely that they’ll recommend you to their friends. Nickie O’Hara

The Adventures of Sam the LambOnce upon a time on a small farm near Billingshurst …

There lived a Lamb called Sam. Sam the lamb was lying under

He could not

Utha had been the best one playing that game, but Sam and the others liked it too. They played for a while and then had a munch of grass.

He found he was getting pretty good at it. But the girls were more interested in chatting and eating than in playing so Sam wandered off by himself. Suddenly he

Each New Year countless people plan to stopsmoking and discover just how difficult it is.Smoking is not just a habit but a full-blown

addiction and quitting may require outside help.To give up smoking requires dedication and aplan. Your chances of success are increased ifyou employ all the extra resources you can.

Some people can stop smoking instantly, butmost need help in the form of nicotinereplacement therapy (NRT). The NRT you choosedepends on your lifestyle, habits and the extent ofyour addiction, so seek advice from your GP orpharmacist. There are also new prescriptionmedicines available to help you quit. The NHSruns nationwide Stop Smoking Services and theirwebsite is particularly useful to help you on yourway to a smoke-free life. Enter your postcode tofind the nearest service to you. Also included onthe site are applications (apps) for download ontoyour computer, iPod or iPhone, to help keep trackof your success.

Alternative therapies provide excellent supportin a quest for a non-smoking life. They includehypnotherapy, acupuncture and cognitivebehavioural therapy (CBT). Yoga and meditationare also recommended as a way of increasingmental stamina, to help cope with the effects ofnicotine withdrawal.

Tell friends and family that you are quitting –their support is vital. You are far more likely to quitfor good if you have your very own team ofsupporters cheering you on. Be prepared for thewithdrawal symptoms but understand that they willdisappear after about two weeks. Many peopleare put off giving up smoking for fear of gainingweight. Ex-smokers can miss the comfort ofhaving something in their mouth and often turn tosweets, which can cause the pounds to pile on.

This need for oral comfort can be alleviated byCBT, hypnotherapy or sugar-free gum. Take it oneday at a time and consider each day you don’tsmoke as a major achievement.

My friend had a novel way of successfullystopping: she emptied the contents of her lastashtray into a plastic bag and each time shewanted to light up, she took the bag out andsniffed it. It worked for her! Find a method thatworks for you. Don’t give up hope if you relapse.Most people who permanently quit smoking havemade the attempt several times. If at first youdon’t succeed, try - again and again. It can take awhile, but if you’re committed to quitting, you cando it. Just keep trying and remain positive.

As well as the many well-publicised healthbenefits you’ll gain from giving up smoking, theamount of money you’ll save is astounding. Manysmokers spend over £2000 a year on cigarettes,think of the holiday youcould take! Whateveryour personal reasonsfor wanting to quit,there’s a wealth of helpand support out there tohelp you. So make 2011the year you become aquitter. Suki North
