Welcome tothe village directory
Hi everyone,
Happy new year and welcome to 2013, yes I know Christmas and New Year now seems a distant memory, but I hope it’s a great one.
2012 was certainly an eventfull year, fi rst we had the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee where we showed the world our very British stiff upper lip by being determined to celebrate and enjoy ourselves whilst being soaked to the skin in persistent rain. Then came the Olympics with that amazing opening ceremony, followed by all those gold medals. I’m not a sporty person at all, other than winter sports, I’ve never really been that interested in watching it on tv, but this was something very diff erent, I was captivated. From my point of view, the whole event, combined with the Para Olympics was totally inspiring, I was proud to be British.
To fi nish off the year the Mayan Calendar was thought to predict the end of the world on the 21st December. What a relief to wake up on the 22nd and fi nd that everything and everyone was still as it should be! My husband put a positive spin on this, he believes that the end of the Mayan Calendar signifi es change, rather than the doom that others predicted. We’ve had enough doom and gloom recently, especially when it comes to the world’s fi nances, so lets hope that 2013 is a turning point and the beginning of a more prosperous, optimistic period of time.

TheGarden ShedFebruary By Jo Arnell
Speed spring along by planting some early season interest – that way even if the weather’s freezing, there’ll be something cheery out there to encourage us. You could go for an instant fi x and nip to the garden centre for the fi rst of the spring bedding and container plants, but if you do, be careful. There are lots of tempting little plug plants on display, in front of glorious photographs that show how they’ll look in the summer – if they make it that far. Most of them need to be protected from frost (until May that means), so unless you have a good place to keep (and cherish) them, stick to hardy plants like Polyanthus, Primulas and spring bulbs.
If your borders are looking bleak and bare, then it could be time to fi ll the gaps with more permanent plants. Many of the late winter and early spring plants are scented (try a Daphne, Viburnum bodnantense ‘Dawn’, Chimonanthes praecox or the shrubby honeysuckle Lonicera fragrantissima). The problem with some of these is that although they smell divine, they aren’t all that to look at. I call them ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’ plants and try to plant something more handsome near them - perhaps a glossy leaved, evergreen beauty like Camellia, or Photinia ‘Red Robin’ which has bright red young leaves, or plant a good structural focal plant in front of
them – a neat box ball, or tidy-by-nature, low growing Hebe. That way, when you can’t get outside to smell the fragrance, at least there will be something attractive to look out of the window at.
If you’re keen on growing vegetables (and have a greenhouse), you’ll have got going by now with some early sowings. Tender crops like aubergines and peppers need a long growing season in our dismal climate. I tend to sow alliums, early salads and a batch of broad beans and peas under cover (on a windowsill) to plant out next month, but there are some hardy broad beans – Aquadulce Claudia and peas – ‘round seeded’ (as opposed to wrinkled) that will withstand cold weather well. But don’t panic – this is just the start.

The Alternative The Alternative to Kennelsto Kennels
Hello there, my name is Trish Feely and I’m proud to announce I am offi cially Barking Mad, Not just by name…!
Barking Mad has been established for 12years and is a great alternative to kennels or housesitting for dogs and now available in this area; we select the ideal host family from our portfolio of trusted dog lovers, all of whom meet our extremely high standards. Accommodation is in a family home environment with one to one dog care, where daily routines are maintained for your dog. Barking Mad off ers an exceptional service to dogs and their owners.
Prior to taking on Barking Mad franchise I had worked in the catering and hospitality industry. I’ve been lucky I had the chance to
travel to many countries around the world to work and was able to experience other nationalities and cultures.I was fi rst introduced to Barking Mad as a customer when I needed care for my dog Sam. I love the concept and the high standard of care that Sam receives from his host family/s when I am away. I too became a host family and love to see visiting dogs from time to time unfortunately I’m unable to host now, I am now lucky enough to be a part of this brilliant concept and to work from home with my Labrador Sam helping -well he’s more of a sleeping partner really! I know how vital it is to fi nd good dog care for our four legged family member or it can ruin your time away with worry.
If you love dogs and would like to enjoy the company of a visiting dog than please contact me. It’s fl exible and our hosts fi nd it enjoyable as they have all the doggie fun! All visiting dogs come with food, bedding etc, so there is no cost implication to the host. It is fully supported and if there are any problems I am always on hand to step in.
If you are interested in using our services or would like to know more about becoming a host, I would love to hear from you (details below)
Let us arrange for your dog/s to stay with one of our local, carefully selected, very special families – because at Barking Mad we believe your dog deserves a holiday too!

Satay Vegetable SkewersServes 4 Ready in 30 minutes
If you are short on time but
still want a fl avoursome
supper then try these delicious
vegetable kebabs with a lovely
spicy peanut sauce and spring
onion noodles. For non-veggie
kebabs replace the aubergine
with cubes of lean pork or
chicken fi llet and cook for
15-20 minutes until the meat
is cooked through and lightly
charred.
Ingredients:• 100g crunchy peanut butter• 25g creamed coconut,
chopped• 1/2 tsp chilli powder• 1 garlic clove peeled and
crushed• 4 tbsp soy sauce• 3 small peppers (red, green and
yellow), deseeded and cut into 2.5cm pieces
• 4 thick slices of aubergine• 1 large red onion, peeled and
cut into slim wedges• 3 tbsp sesame oil• 4 nests fi ne egg noodles• 4 spring onions, trimmed and
fi nely sliced
Tip:If you don’t have a griddle pan cook the kebabs under a pre-heated grill or use a heavy-based shallow frying and add a little oil.
Place the peanut butter, coconut, chilli powder and garlic in a small pan with 180ml water. Heat gently, stirring all the time, for 2-3 minutes until the coconut has dissolved and the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat, stir in half the soy sauce. Thin down with a little more water to get a pouring consistency, if necessary.
Par-boil the peppers in a pan of boiling water for 2 minutes, drain well and pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut the aubergine slices into quarters. Thread the peppers and aubergine onto 8 pre-soaked wooden skewers with the onion wedges.
Preheat a cast-iron griddle pan until almost smoking. Whisk 2 tbsp of the oil and remaining soy sauce together and brush all over the vegetable kebabs. Cook the kebabs on the hot griddle pan for 6-8 minutes, turning frequently until tender and lightly charred.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a large pan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain well and toss together with the rest of the sesame oil and the spring onions. Serve the kebabs on the noodles and drizzle over the satay sauce.

Racism
Everyone seems to be in such a hurry to scream ‘racism‛ these days.
A customer asked… “In what aisle could I fi nd the Irish sausage?”
The clerk asks…”Are you Irish?”
The guy, clearly offended says… “Yes I am, but let me ask you something.
“If I had asked for Italian sausage, would you ask me if I was Italian?
Or if I had asked for German Bratwurst, would you ask me if I was German?
Or if I asked for a kosher hot dog would you ask me if I was Jewish?
Or if I had asked for a Taco, would you ask if I was Mexican?
Or if I asked for Polish sausage, would you ask if I was Polish?”
The clerk says…”No,I probably wouldn‛t.”
The guy says…”Well then, because I asked for Irish sausage… “why did you ask me if I‛m Irish?”
The clerk replied…”Because you‛re in a Builders Warehouse”…
A little girl was diligently pound-ing away on her grandfather‛s word processor. She told him she was writing a story.
“What‛s it about?” he asked. “I don‛t know,” she replied. “I can‛t read.”

Refl exology in Refl exology in PregnancyPregnancyRefl exology is a gentle, non-invasive massage of the feet working the pressure points to help balance the body’s systems and promote relaxation. In pregnancy relaxation is vital for both the mother and baby’s health and wellbeing.
One of the most fascinating things to observe during pregnancy is the baby’s growth on the inner side of the foot just above the heel. Once at the nine month mark it is hard to dispute that the feet are capable of showing us what is happening in the body.
A team at the NHS Manor hospital ran a study on 100 overdue women having Refl exology in the fi nal stages of their pregnancy. They found that overall, the fi rst stage of labour was four hours shorter and fewer required strong pain relief during labour.
Over the past 14 years I have treated many women during pregnancy and of all the therapies I have trained in I will always highly recommend Refl exology for pregnancy. I have seen mothers go through the stages of pregnancy and into labour in a more relaxed and balanced frame of mind. I have also used Refl exology in overdue pregnancies and many have gone into labour within a couple of days of treatment.
For a free 15 minute chat about how Refl exology may benefi t you during your pregnancy, please telephone me on the number shown. Appointments are available in Greatstone and I provide a lovely tranquil environment to give you the best from this wonderfully relaxing therapy.Cassandra Dry 01797 369226www.elysiumtherapies.com

In the best interests of the children…In another of our regular series on legal matters, this month Laura Hails, Chartered Legal Executive at Pengelly & Rylands Solicitors, talks about children issues
Each year thousands of children experience the separation of their parents. We realise that many of our clients will be unsure as to how best to manage their separation whilst considering the best interests of their children. Divorce and separation generates a large level of stress in a person’s life and it is likely that children will have feelings about divorce and separation which will be very diff erent from your own.
Many parents are able to agree between them how they share contact of the children and parents are able to agree any contact pattern that suits the needs of the children.
When considering children matters, we refer to the Children Act 1989. The fi rst priority is the welfare of the children and there is also a checklist of factors that have to be considered, which include, but are not limited to, the child’s age, sex, background, wishes and feelings and physical, emotional and educational needs.
Unfortunately some parents will have diffi culties in reaching an amicable agreement. If you cannot agree with whom they should live or how much contact they have, you may wish to seek advice.
We are committed to a helpful, non-confrontational approach, to take the confl ict out of family disputes and to ensure the children maintain a healthy, loving relationship with both parents. As a Member of Resolution, we are mindful of the fact that during the separation process,
Laura Hails, Chartered Legal Executive at Pengelly & Rylands
there will be a wide range of emotions and we therefore deal with matters in a conciliatory approach to achieve a solution based on the needs of the whole family, particularly what is in the best interests of the children.
If you have any queries about children issues or any other family matter, please telephone me on 01580 762248 and I will advise you of the best route available to you in your particular circumstances.
