Welcome tothe village directory

Hi everyone,

I must start my intro this month with an apology for July’s crossword puzzle. The supplier notifi ed me of an error, but too late for me to make any changes, the magazines had already gone to print and there was nothing I could do. As you can imagine, with 37,000 magazines being delivered, my email and telephone line have been hot with readers fi nding the “Simple Crossword” not so simple!

Most were good humoured and understanding, asking if it was April 1st! Unfortunately, I’m disappointed to say, one or two were rather curt and less understanding, but I suppose that’s life, we are not all the same. Life is not perfect and things go wrong now and then, especially, it seems, when running six magazines from the bottom of your garden (as I do), but I look on it as an opportunity to learn. I bet it really

challenged your brains for a while though didn’t it! Normal service has now resumed so I hope you enjoy this month’s crossword.

July was certainly a challenge for me, my smartphone app, which I so proudly announced in the magazine, incurred a delay. The approval of the app by Apple was delayed, and without Apple approval I could not go live, even with the Android version. Hopefully by the time you read this the problem will be resolved and the app available for free download by anyone with a smartphone.

Have a great month!

AugustAfter perusing over the last few months columns that I have written I realise just how much I have mentioned the weather, it must be an English trait that talking about the weather plays such a huge part in our lives, so who am I to change things. The weather continues to be rather strange, but its been the terrible winds that have devastated the garden. This time of year we are used to towering blousy

delphiniums along with tall elegant Ht roses and climbers. Instead they have been blown over by the gales that keep hitting us in this SE corner. My selenium, (potato plant), was so badly hit that it looked like I had held a wedding in the garden. All the blossom was blown off and lay forlornly on the ground. I have never known it before but even the clematis got wind burn!! Such a shame. I can honestly say that this peculiar weather has put my garden back by approximately three weeks. Not a raspberry or spring onion ready, not even a lilly out in bloom. Browsing round to fi nd a few entries for the Summer Show that had no damage was like looking for hens teeth! I concluded that if I picked the few items that I had in the garden that was undamaged, I wouldn’t have a garden left at all! So at the end of the day I opted out of the fruit, veg and fl owers and entered all the cookery classes instead. I did re-sow my lost seeds, including the runners beans which had completely rotted in the ground, but it is looking rather dodgy as to how much will come through. All fi ngers are crossed.

On a lighter note – at long last the top pergola is fi nished, and it looks really lovely. Hubby put

The MG250 Manége Grader will ensure the perfect equestrian surface with any arena surface material

in some extra special eff ort to get it fi nished as I had two clematis that my lovely neighbour had given me as a gift to plant and their going to be trained up and over the pergola. I must admit I do admire it when I go up the garden as it looks almost Japanese. Now I must gingerly unravel the climbing rose from the arch and start to train it over the pergola. I have only one whinge and that is that pigeons have already moved in and are using it as a roost. Imagine the mess they are making on the patio. Mind you the rose has huge thorns, perhaps they won’t appreciate a few spikes up their bottoms and maybe that will deter them!

Now in the greenhouse things are going well. The picnic cucumbers are really producing well and from the two plants that I have, I have six cucumbers ready. I can really recommend giving these a go, especially if there is only two of you. One cucumber would be more than enough for a nice salad or sandwich. Good job I have plenty of people who like cucumbers. The tomatoes have fl owers but as yet no fruit, they are looking good and I have high hopes for a bumper crop. But the sweet pepper

just sits there unmoving, not a fl ower in sight. We shall wait and see on that one.

Well now to report back on “those” lettuce. What a waste of money. I am now down to three seedlings and they are really being nurtured. Its been ages since they went in and I have cropped a whole tub of Little Gem since. Needless to say I shan’t buy those again. And as for the basket tomatoes, they are growing……slowly. Normally by now I would be picking the odd one or two, again a bad buy. Once more I remind myself to stick to what varieties I know and trust. Will I ever learn? Trouble is the seed companies make them sound so exciting and diff erent that you want to have a go, and I’m sure its not just me is it?

Coff ee time and today I have hubbys company, that is after he’s fi nished mowing the lawn. Because of the show I have some amazing cheese straws and shortbread that needs eating, both his favourites. Best I grab mine now before he comes in!

All You Need To Know!

Home-MadeBurgers

1. Always choose good quality premium minced steak for the best fl avour but pick one that has some fat in it – don’t buy extra lean mince as the burgers will dry out too much during cooking. Try asking your local butcher to mince some rump or chuck steak with about 20% fat content. For four quarter pounder burgers you’ll need 500g mince.

2. Mince is fairly bland so you’ll need to add plenty of fl avouring. Grated or very fi nely chopped onion and minced garlic form the basic fl avouring but you add whatever dried or fresh herb, spice or seasoning you like. You’ll need to add 5-10ml (1-2tsp) salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper too.

3. A handful of fresh breadcrumbs and a little beaten egg will also help to bind the mince together and prevent the burgers from breaking up during cooking. Whizz all the ingredients in a food processor until the mixture starts holding together or use clean hands to mix as thoroughly as possible.

4. Shape the burgers into round fl at discs with wetted hands. To get perfectly round shapes press the mixture into a metal pastry cutter. Don’t over handle the burgers or they will be tough and dry when cooked.

5. Ensure that burgers are cooked all the way through and there is no pinkness in the middle. To check this press the burger down with a fi sh slice – if there are pink juices oozing out then cook for a few more minutes.

6. If you want a change from the classic sesame seed bun why not serve the cooked burgers on top of wedges of toasted ciabatta bread spread with a little mustard mayo or pack into warmed and split pitta breads with salad or coleslaw.

7. Try a fresh tomato relish instead of ketchup – just peel and fi nely dice a couple of ripe plum tomatoes and mix with a little olive oil, fresh chopped basil, a pinch of sugar and salt and freshly ground black pepper.

placed in just the right spots to make the most of natural light. As for artifi cial lighting, bear in mind that the traditional central pendant, used on its own, creates gloomy corners and off ers no atmosphere. Instead, think about employing a more interesting combination of diff erent types of lighting for fl exibility, comfort and interest. For a quick upgrade on a budget, simply replace main light switches with dimmers, and plug in a selection of table or fl oor lamps at key points, to layer the lighting and emphasise special features.

Step Four: Be fl exible with furnitureWhen you have run out of space, it makes sense to take a long, hard look at your furniture and make sure that every single piece is worth its place in your home. Simple, slender styles have the least impact in a small space, while pale or transparent pieces blend into the background, and anything raised on legs will make your room seem larger (because there is more visible fl oor area). In general, avoid deep upholstery, bulky outlines and fussy detailing. Special foldaway or compact furniture can help – but don’t sacrifi ce comfort or function – and with a touch of lateral thinking you can turn ordinary

Pale colours and slender furniture really helps to emphasise space. Modena sofa (medium), £999; Evelyn chair in Pisa, £349; Morrissey coffee table, £349;

Step One: Clear out that clutterIt’s boring but simple: sort through your stuff . All your stuff . Unless you’re absolutely certain you want to keep it where it is, then put it into boxes or bags marked for rubbish, recycling, giving away, mending or storing elsewhere. If it’s too painful to do this all at once, aim for one room per week, or else do ten minutes a day – then make a habit of keeping on top of it, with regular sort-outs. You’ll be amazed how much extra space you fi nd when your house is no longer crammed full of unnecessary clutter.

Step Two: Create super-effi cient storageEvery nook and cranny around your home can be used to store your possessions in a neat and organised fashion. Built-in cupboards make the most of space, as they can be made to fi t into the most awkward of corners, and stretched right to the ceiling for maximum capacity. Paint them the same colour as the walls and they will blend in brilliantly. On the other hand, off -the-shelf storage tends to be cheaper, more fl exible and whether it’s a vintage French armoire or a cheap coloured plastic bucket, can be tailored to suit your style and budget.

Step Three: Lighten upStart by ensuring that your windows are brilliantly clean, that curtains or blinds don’t block them, and that furniture is

furnishings into dual-purpose ones, such as a chest of drawers that doubles as a bedside table or a coff ee table that includes space to store magazines.

Step Five: Add glass and mirrorsWith a little thought and not too much expense, simply hanging a mirror can create the illusion of space where it does not exist and double the apparent size of a room. One positioned opposite a window will distribute the maximum amount of natural light; near a light fi tting, a mirror will refl ect its brilliance around the room. Glass, too, provides vistas from room to room or from inside to out, really opening up a home. If you are having building work done, consider glass walls, fl oors or even stairs, but for quicker, cheaper solutions you could opt for glass doors, glass or acrylic furniture or see-through accessories such as lamp bases, door knobs and vases.

Step Six: Use clever colourColour can manipulate our sense of space enormously. Pale colours seem to recede, enhancing a sense of spaciousness, while darker colours absorb light and therefore appear more enclosing. Colours on the ‘cool’ spectrum, such as blue and green, are more distancing than ‘warm’ colours such as red and yellow. Whites, off -whites and cool pastels are, therefore, perfect for making small spaces seem larger – and they look sophisticated and contemporary, too, especially when combined with the natural textures of materials such as timber and stone.

Recently I had the pleasure of attending a local lunch and, for my sins, giving a short talk about my working life. Nothing unusual in that you may think. However, it was one of the most enjoyable and thought provoking experiences I’ve had for a long time. As it turned out I was the only female amongst a group of approximately forty men, the majority of whom were retired and with an average age of approximately seventy - many a deal older.

To a man they were suited and booted to perfection; their dark suits or blazers worn with an upright bearing and unconscious pride. Each suit immaculately pressed, every shirt crisply ironed, all ties neatly knotted, proper handkerchiefs tucked into breast pockets and the shoes, polished and buff ed to a high sheen with not a trainer or casual loafer in sight. They looked magnifi cent.

Similar attention had also been paid to their personal grooming. There wasn’t a hint of designer stubble gracing any chin or cheeks; those who sported beards or moustaches had taken care to trim and comb them into neatness. Each man had a ‘proper’ haircut and there was evidence of the judicious use of hair creams and oils. There was the most wonderful whiff of plain soap, and the faintest hint of aftershave; nothing fl oral or light but strong spicy and masculine.

Jewellery was discrete: a wedding band, single signet ring, tie pin or chunky cuffl inks at wrists. No gold chains, bracelets or similar paraphernalia were on display – if they owned such items they had either tucked them out of sight or left them at home. The only earrings I spotted were worn by the waitresses. I did, however, spot several copper bands; worn no doubt for medicinal purposes.

They greeted me with fi rm handshakes, off ers of refreshments, gentle teasing and oh so subtle fl irting. They stood when I entered the room and when I left the table. They spoke of their wives, children and grandchildren. Photos were proudly whipped from wallets and passed around to be admired and discussed. In short they were totally charming and lovely.

A Proverbial Life...

Clothes (and manners)

maketh the manIt may be that they weren’t all solely responsible for their dapper appearance. Perhaps a wife or partner had ironed the crisp shirts, or pressed the wrinkle free suits – no matter, the overall eff ect was that standards had been met.

On the way home I stopped to buy some stamps.

In the queue in front of me was a good looking teenage boy. Jeans slung artfully half way down his buttocks, displayed six inches of bright red, silk boxer shorts. His hair had been teased and combed into a soft

fl uff y halo, with a long fl oppy fringe that fell over one eye. On his wrists were countless plaited thread bracelets; brightly coloured plastic strands circled his neck. He was rocking gently to the music plugged into his ears and eating from a large bag of sweets. He smelt wonderful and looked rather beautiful.

I had to give him a gentle nudge and point out that he was next to be served. He turned, smiled, off ered a sweet from the bag and stood to one side: “Ladies fi rst.”

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he was the grandson of one of my ‘gents’ from lunch.

On the 5th August, Rye and District Lions Club will be running their 34th Annual Rye Raft Race and Fete. Such has been the demand for stalls, rides etc., for the Fete, that the Lions had to call a halt to the number that could be accommodated and the total is now over 50 stalls and other rides. On the Salts at Rye there will be a barbecue, beer tent, live music, rides for children, including a huge bouncy castle and go-carts, ice-creams and many other attractions including crafts. The fete opens at noon and there is ample car parking on the

Lions Raft Race car park, which is located over the river bridge on the A259, New Road, the road towards Camber. This only costs £2 for the day, which includes a copy of the 70 page programme.

The actual Raft Race starts at 2pm, subject to tidal conditions, and rafts start assembling at 12.30pm. Whilst entries are still coming in, the Lions say that a few more rafts could be accepted and entry packs can be obtained by ringing 0845 833 2825. The rafts will compete over a 3-lap course downstream form the road bridge with ample space for viewing

from both the East bank and the fi shermen’s quay. The fancy dressed crews on their decorated rafts bombard each other with fl our and water bombs, with many spectators enthusiastically joining in. However, there is a strict ban on throwing anything hard or that could cause an injury, such as eggs or fruit. There are six diff erent classes in the Race and the winning raft of each class wins a trophy and certifi cates are presented to all rafters by Hastings and Rye MP, Amber Rudd, and Rye’s Mayor, Shaun Rogers.

The notable thing about both the Fete and the Raft Race is that both events are free to the public, although the Lions will be looking for donations in their collecting buckets. All proceeds from the day, including the sponsorship raised by the Rafts are donated to charity and, as always with the Lions, there are no deductions for admin. So for a fun day, go along to The Salts and River Rother at Rye on Sunday 5th August from 12 noon.
