Welcome tothe village directory

Hi everyone,

This is a big month for me, I am so excited because the magazine now has it’s own smartphone app. This is a big step into the 21st Century for the magazine. Read all about it inside this edition, I hope all you fellow smartphone users fi nd it useful.

I would like to apologise for the error in last month’s crossword puzzle, unfortunately the developer supplied a new grid but omitted to change the clues from the previous month’s edition. I suppose these things are sent to try us, but on the bright side, it did give me the opportunity to chat to a number of readers and receive some very positive comments regarding the magazines. Thank you to everyone that contacted me, if it had gone un-noticed I would have been quite concerned about the value of the crossword puzzle entry.

I also received a criticism last month for quoting page numbers in my intro when the pages were, supposedly, not numbered. The page numbers have for some time been positioned on the sides of the pages, so as not to encroach an any other information. I realise it’s not the standard position and is therefore easy to overlook. I will consider alternative options, but if anyone would like to submit ideas for improvement to the magazine, whether it be content or layout, please do, I’m all ears!

At long last The Village

Directory has entered the world of the Smartphone. This month our brand new mobile app, fi nally goes live for iPhone and Android smartphones. Last year I announced that this app was on its way but unfortunately due to production issues the release had to be postponed. I suppose it serves me right for trying to announce the live date in the magazine before it had actually happend, but now I am proud to announce that is fi nally available for FREE download from iTunes for the iPhone and Google Play Store for Android phones.

Our app brings together all seven of the magazine’s advertisers plus local information, events and special off ers from our advertisers.

It will enable you to search your local area and, if you can’t fi nd what you need, look further afi eld. Your favourite businesses can also be added to your own personal Favourites list simply by clicking

So if you need directions, or a fast way to contact one of our advertisers, The Village Directory will only be a click away and ready to be of assistance.

Hopefully this facility will also enable me to publish late events which have missed the print deadline for the magazine. It’s such a shame when an event is sent in just after I’ve gone to print and there’s nothing I can do. But I can now!

I know that not everyone has access to a smartphone but

Th e Village DirectoryGoes Mobile! I’m sure that within the

48,000 households that the magazines currently reach there will be a considerable number of readers that will fi nd our new app a useful addition to their smartphone app list.

It will be a little while before we can judge the popularity of this new service, and there are bound to be some teething problems, but hopefully it will prove to enhance the service given by The Village Directory and enable us to put one foot fi rmly into the 21st Century.

If you are interested in advertising on The Village Directory Smartphone App please call for details on01233 720488 or email to info@thevi l lagedirec tor y.co.uk.

The Garden Shed

Firstly before I write a single word I really must apologise for the lack of my report in April. I had actually done it, but was due to go on holiday the following day and completely forgot to send it through to Debbie for inclusion in the mag. I can assure you that it wasn’t excitement that made me forget as we were caravanning with our “grand-dogs” in Berkshire and if you recall, the weather was absolutely freezing, Siberia comes to mind. It was so cold that one day we took the dogs over to Thatcham common for a walk and my eyeballs froze up!!!! Not nice at all. Anyways a huge thankyou to all who contacted me to see if I had been ill and was I recuperating well! And to make up for it this report is a little longer than norm!!

I have read last years report for June and back then we had a hot early spell in Spring, this year it was just cold and dismal. Consequently fl owers once more held back. I have had a good blossom on my crab apple tree, but once more very few on my “cordons”. I’m wondering if I had pruned these fruits trees incorrectly, though I have re-read the instructions and had followed them to the “T”. Each of them, plum, apple, and pear are pruned diff erently, but I was quite careful to prune each as instructed, so perhaps the weather has had a lot to do with it. We shall see when and if I get a fruit set and the returning crop

May saw me digging up the last of my leeks. Many people lift and store leeks in late autumn, but I have no space to do this so leave them in the ground until required. They seem to last quite well and have lost very few. I made good use of them in soups etc, but cleaned up and sliced they do keep very well in the fridge or try freezing them. If you want to eat them all up try this lovely easy recipe. Saute fi nely sliced leaks with a sprinkling of thyme in butter until just cooked but not browned, season well with salt and pepper and leave to cool. Roll out a pack of bought puff pastry (make it if your really clever), and cut into 6” squares. With a sharp knife mark a ridge ½ “ round the outside. Generously spread Philadelphia inside

the square (use any fl avour you like, garlic is good), then, spread the leaks on the top. Place on a greased baking tray and brush a little milk around the outside. Cook Gas 7 (or equivalent), until golden. Delicious with a light salad.

Now, to report back on a few things. The lilly bulblets are doing extremely well, and have been potted on once more. They are up and it looks like I shall have a few fl owers. But is it worth all the hassle when lilly bulbs are quite reasonable to buy? I suppose if you have the time and room to keep growing on the bulbs to fl owering size, yes. And of course there is the satisfaction of having “plants for free” On the other hand if you don’t have the necessary time needed to do so then no. Just as well let the lilly cultivate itself in the pot, split and pot on. You may not get as many plants but the satisfaction is still there.

It is quite important to split and repot just about all plants that are container grown. Not only because they become pot bound, but the soil they are in will become exhausted and will need replenishing. I did this to all my fuschia recently which are grown in containers. Depending on the size of the plant and how much it has grown, it is not always necessary to rehouse into a larger pot. Remove the plant from the pot and gently tease away much of the soil from the root area and from around the top. Be gentle, we don’t want to damage the plants root system. Put back the drainage crocks in the base of the pot, then a layer of fresh compost. Place the plant in the pot and put in more compost, tapping the pot carefully to settle it in and around the root

by Jackie Witcher - Tenterden Horticultural SocietyJune

the gardenarea. Feed the compost into the pot, tapping as you go until it is fi lled, making sure that the compost is at the same level at the top of the plant as it was before. Give it a nice watering to settle the compost around the roots. The plant will certainly appreciate the attention!

Before my coff ee I must tell you a tale. Husband as many of you know is a plumber and quite recently was engaged on a job installing a new bathroom. He had removed the majority of the old suite and now it was the turn of the WC. He removed the cistern, then the pan itself but could not budge the waste pipe. He pulled and tugged at it, but it would not move, so he took a peek inside and saw what he thought was a piece of wood. He eventually managed to get the waste pipe off but try as he might, could not remove the “wood” which was very fi brous. He eventually traced this back down the pipework, and what he though was a piece of wood turned out to be the root of one of the trees planted in the garden area! This root had broken into the salt glaze waste pipe and had travelled up to the second story of the house. Obviously with a

constant supply of water “etc” the tree thrived. But imagine. Had the owners not decided to replace the bathroom, where the root would have been in a years time!!! It doesn’t bear thinking about!! So be warned before you plant that lovely pale green leylandii hedge, beech or yew tree, think. Just how far does the roots grow??

Hmmm that’s nearly put me off my coff ee and cake, but I am made of sterner stuff ! A nice slice of Madeira cake, topped with sugared lemon slices awaits me, so on goes the kettle and my feet are up ready! JW

‘ Trust your local experts’


For many older people Patricia’s success will be the spur to launch their own professional stage careers. Others may be encouraged to join an amateur theatre group.

Peter Bressington helps to run the Lindley Players, an amateur theatre society with 350 members based in Whitstable, Kent. He says that the group is always looking to recruit members of all ages, but he is aware that many people are put off by open auditions:

“If people are nervous about performing they can become involved in other ways, such as selling ice creams or painting scenery.”

In order to understand the level of commitment required, Pru Page, Club Secretary of Bocking Theatre Club in Essex, recommends that new members have their fi rst experience of being on stage as part of the chorus of a pantomime or summer show:

“New members should be prepared to learn lines and take part in regular rehearsals but some are shocked by the amount of time they have to dedicate to the production.”

Pru says that learning a theatre role can be stressful for older people, whose memories may not be as eff ective as they once were, but she believes that the more her members become used to it, the easier it becomes. She also recommends the social aspects of joining a theatre group:

“I’ve met some of the best friends I’ve ever had through the club. Once you’ve shared a dressing room with someone – not to mention a few production disasters – you can’t help but become close.”

If amateur theatre doesn’t appeal, or if you already belong to an amateur group and want to go professional, then what’s the best advice?

A course at an accredited drama school (list available from www.dramauk.co.uk) is probably the best option if you want to go professional.

Many drama schools will take mature students for courses that last between one and three years. During that time you will work intensively on voice production, movement and acting. You’ll need an open mind and a willingness to step out of your comfort zone.

If student life is not for you, you can try approaching actors’ agents directly, but before you begin your search you will need a set of high-quality portrait shots. Be prepared for rejection unless you have a unique ‘look’ that lends itself to character roles. Even then you may fi nd yourself auditioning for TV ads rather than strutting the stage at the National Theatre.

Those who are lucky enough to be taken on by a reputable agent can expect to pay commission of around 10%-12% on each job. Actors usually have to pay their own travel expenses to attend auditions and purchase a subscription to online casting directory The Spotlight.

However, the performers’ union Equity claims that at least two-thirds of actors are out of work at any time. With so much unemployment in the performing arts, the dream of taking up a professional stage career can often turn to dust, so it’s reassuring to know there’s always a local amateur company ready to give you the chance to tread the boards.

Life BeginsAn Actor’s Life at Last...? By Kate McLelland

When 76 year old actress Patricia Loveland appeared in Dustin Hoff man’s recent fi lm ‘Quartet’, it was a remarkable achievement for this former midwife, who signed up for drama school at the age of 60.

OPEN STUDIO DISPLAYING SHELL IMAGES

Kent based photographer, Liz Garnett, will be opening her studio in June as part of South East Open Studios. She will be displaying her new series of shell photographs. These have been created through experimenting with fi lm photography to create unusual results. “I have always been drawn to the seaside” said Liz, “but it has taken me three years to come up with a series of shell photographs that please me. This is just the beginning of my shell photography and my aim is to create a body of work for an exhibition.” These are not the fi rst images relating to the seaside by Liz. She has previously created several series of images on beach abstracts.

This year Liz is celebrating 20 years as a photographer this year. More information about her can be found at www.lizgarnett.com Liz Garnett’s studio in Brabourne Lees near Ashford, Kent will be open on various dates between 7 and 23 June 2013.

Cheese, Bacon & Onion Pie

Makes 8 Slices

Ready in 1½ hours, plus chilling

Perfect for a simple lunch or

for an early summer picnic this

savoury pie has a really rich and

buttery crisp pastry and a tasty

smoked bacon and onion fi lling.

It tastes just as delicious warm or

cold. Look for packs of smoked

bacon pieces near the bacon

rashers in the supermarket or

use fl avoursome Italian diced

pancetta instead.

Pastry:• 225g plain fl our• 1 tsp mustard powder• Pinch of salt• • 115g butter, chilled and diced• • 4-5 tbsp iced water

Filling:• • 175g smoked bacon pieces• 4 onions, peeled and thinly

sliced• • 1 tbsp sunfl ower oil• • 200g mature Cheddar cheese,

grated• • Beaten egg, to glaze• Tomato salad, to serve (see

Tip)

Tip: Serve simply with a fresh tomato salad made by thickly slicing ripe vine tomatoes and layering with fi nely chopped spring onions and a few fresh basil leaves. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with freshly ground black pepper.

To make the pastry, sift the fl our into a large bowl and stir in the mustard powder and salt. Add the diced butter and rub into the fl our between your fi ngertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.Stir in enough of the iced water with a round bladed knife to mix to a crumbly dough. Knead very lightly until just smooth then fl atten into a disc and wrap in cling fi lm. Chill for 20-25 minutes.Meanwhile, prepare the fi lling. Dry-fry the bacon pieces in a large non-stick frying pan for 4-5 minutes until just golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the oil and sliced onions to the pan and fry gently, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes until the onions are very tender and pale golden. Leave to cool. Preheat the oven to 190°C, 375°F, Gas Mark 5. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat up.Roll out just over half the pastry on a lightly fl oured surface and use to line a 20x30cm loose-based fl uted fl an tin. Layer the bacon, onions and grated cheese in the pastry case and season between the layers with freshly ground black pepper.Roll out the rest of the pastry and use to cover the fi lling. Seal the edges of the pastry with water then pinch them tightly together with fi ngertips. Trim off any excess pastry.Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and pierce 3-4 holes in the top of the pie to allow the steam to escape. Bake on the hot baking sheet for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is crisp and golden. Serve warm or cold with tomato salad, if liked.

Plan Ahead with a Lasting Power of Attorney

As part of our regular series on legal matters, Gill Snow of Tenterden law firm Pengelly and Rylands looks at Lasting Powers of Attorney.

If you’ve ever worried about what would happen if you were unable, through mental or physical incapacity, to handle your own aff airs a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) could be the answer and as the process of making and registering an LPA is now easier and quicker than ever it makes sense to do it now.

The LPA replaced the old Enduring Power of Attorney in 2007 and allows you to appoint someone you trust to help you manage your fi nances or welfare. If you were ever to be unable to physically deal with the bank or building society your attorney would be able to do so on your behalf as well as claim benefi ts for you and even sell your property and if you were ever to lose mental capacity they could make decisions for you.

There are two types of LPA available, one which deals with property and fi nance and one which deals with personal welfare. If you appoint an attorney under a welfare LPA they will be able to make decisions on your behalf about where you live, how you live and even medical treatment, if you were unable to make those decisions yourself.

Making an LPA is fairly straightforward, and involves completing an 11 page form. You need to decide who you will appoint as attorney, whether you will have one or more attorneys and whether you wish to restrict the decisions which your attorney can make. Under the terms of The Mental Capacity Act 2005 your attorney must consult with you, whilst you have capacity and if ever you were to lose mental capacity must act in your best interests. You will also have to choose a certifi cate provider. This is an independent person you have known personally for at least two years or a professional, who must talk to you about the LPA and ensure you are aware of what you are doing. You must also choose someone to be notifi ed when the LPA is to be registered.

Lasting Powers of Attorney can only be used once they are registered with the Offi ce of the Public Guardian. This takes approximately 9 weeks and costs at present, £130 to register each LPA. I would

recommend that anyone making an LPA has it registered, so that if it is ever needed it can be used without delay.

If an individual loses capacity without a registered LPA in place application must be made to the Court of Protection for a deputy to be appointed to look after their property and fi nancial aff airs. This can be a lengthy and costly process.

Our fi rm can guide you through the whole process of making and registering an LPA and do as much or as little as you wish. I would recommend making an LPA whilst you are fi t and healthy as it will give you the peace of mind of knowing that someone you trust will be able to make decisions on your behalf if the need ever arose. If you would like to discuss this please contact me or Rosalind Johnson on 01580 762248.

Most of us shy away from considering our later years and what they might bring. There may be the joy of watching our family grow and develop with grandchildren, great nephews and nieces, but understandably we do not like the idea of becoming incapacitated.However, we should start thinking about what can be termed as the “longest holiday” of our lives sooner rather than later, as it is now clear that the government will not be funding the ongoing costs of any care that might be required.The reason for the government’s stance becomes clear when examining some of the facts.According to statistics from the Offi ce for National Statistics, in 1992, 14.2% of the London populace were aged 65 or more. In areas where a large number of residents are retirees, such as within the county of East Dorset, this fi gure was running at a rate of over 24%. The average percentage of people within this grouping for the whole of the UK, in 1992, was 15.8%. By the year 2033, estimates show that this fi gure will have increased to 22.9%.

As the state is not going to assist in any meaningful form regarding ongoing care needs, we need to consider the cost of buying care as this is also rising. For example, maintaining professional quality care in one’s own home is now running at around £13.68 per hour. This means that just two hours of care each day mounts up to around £200 each week.

Furthermore, full time fees in a care home now average at just over £27,000 a year rising to over £38,000 for nursing home fees. These fees are just for a basic level of care. To have any form of “luxury” is an additional cost.Here are some tips that will enable you to start planning for the future.1. Check your pensions, ensuring that you have

current information for all of them.2. If you have not done so already, you should

complete a BR19 form and send it off for a

State Pension assessment. The reason for this, particularly for women, is that it will be assumed that your NI contributions would have continued if you had not stopped work in order to care for your children. However, the benefi ts agencies will not know of this and your past situation unless you inform them. Taking this action will enhance your state pension benefi ts.

3. Realistically consider what your ISAs and other savings might be worth. Monitor your investments regularly with a professional adviser.

4. Think about when your mortgage will be repaid, along with any other commitments. Put income that you have released, when loans are repaid, towards ISAs and pensions for your future.

5. Start thinking of your house as a commodity that might have to be used to fund care needs in the future.

6. Consider a special form of trust to ring fence the equity of your house. This can protect your home from local authority means testing when you qualify for care.

7. Review your Wills and the position regarding inheritance tax.

8. Review whether your property is owned as Tenants In Common or under Joint Tenancy as this is important in this arena of planning (Scottish law varies in this regard).

9. Seek independent fi nancial advice from an appropriately qualifi ed professional, and appoint an adviser on a fee basis to advise you.

We all hope that we will remain independent and fi t and healthy, but this will not be the reality for some of us.The facts before us may not be favourable and planning for our longest holiday may take many years to achieve. Although our fi nances might be under pressure at this time, doing something now is going to be better than doing nothing.

kuThe BBQ SeasonAfter months of cold and winter, we are fi nally coming up to summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it’s the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved. When a man volunteers to do the BBQ an irreversible chain of events are set into motion:

1. The woman buys the food.2. The woman makes the salad, prepares the

vegetables, and makes dessert.3. The woman prepares the meat for cooking,

places it on a tray along withthe necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand. Here comes the important part:

4. THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.5. The woman goes inside to organize the

plates and cutlery.6. The woman comes out to tell the man

that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again:7. THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL

AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.8. The woman prepares the plates, salad,

bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table

9. After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes

And most important of all:10. Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS

HIM for his cooking eff orts.11. The man asks the woman how she

enjoyed her night off . And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there’s just no pleasing some women....

Our Private Care Service carers can come to your house; help assist you with an outing in either your car or theirs. This help can form part of a tailored package of care that could help you stay in your own home for longer, rather than going into a care home before its really needed. We can assist those who need help due to frailty, disability or illness to live as independently as possible, with comfort and dignity, in their own home.

Domestic Care
