Welcome tothe village directory

Hi everyone,

It’s June and I can’t believe we are already halfway through the year, where has the time gone?

June is fair and fete season so there’s plenty to do this month and many great causes to support, all we need is for the sun to shine. We’ve had so much rain recently, I’m desperate to put to my boots in the cupboard and get the fl ip fl ops out! Surely it’s time we had the opportunity to enjoy some summer warmth.

This month marks seven years since I put my fi rst edition together and delivered it to the printer. I sat on my patio with a cup of tea wondering what on earth I’d done, I was fi lled with trepidation at the thought of so many people reading my words and viewing my work. Seven years on and I have no regrets whatsoever. There have been many ups and own downs along the way,

and very little quality time spent with my family in the early days, taking a holiday is a massive challenge, but it’s all been worth it.

I feel that I’ve made so many new friends, both readers and advertisers. There have been so many long chats on the phone or via email, it’s a wonder the magazines ever make it to the printer. Thank you so much for making the experience such a positive one, I feel extremely humbled by the feedback I receive. And long may it continue.

Delphiniums are the most stately of the cottage garden plants and they need to be treated like royalty if you’re going to get the best out of them. Make sure to provide them with good rich soil, watch out for slugs and snails decimating the early growth. Then make sure you provide supports for the fl owers – there’s nothing more disheartening than seeing a towering spire crashing to the ground. If this does happen, however, you may get another fl ush of blooms later in the summer.

One of my favourite plants Geum ‘Mrs Bradshaw’ is blooming at the moment. It’s cheerful deep orange fl owers contrast well with purple Alliums and the frothy Lime green fl owers of Achemilla mollis. If you prefer a more demure colour mix, try the hardy Geranium ‘Johnson’s Blue’, or the longer fl owering ‘Rozanne’ near the

June is the month of the Cottage Garden perennials. It’s my favourite summer month; the spring-green freshness is still there and the fl owers are bright and breezy, but it’s also the month of endless grass cutting and furious weeding, as the surge of growth is relentless, like a rising green tide. I much prefer this to August though, when the tide begins to turn and there’s that dusty (or thundery) lull of not much happening.

lovely pink and white Peony ‘Bowl of Beauty’ and the tall pale lemon spire of Verbascum Gainsborough’. All of these are charming, unfussy plants, but unfortunately the same can’t be said for the mainstay of the June garden - the Rose. Roses are greedy plants and prone to many unsightly affl ictions. Keep them looking good by feeding with a proprietory Rose fertiliser, watching out for the fi rst signs of pests and diseases and dead-heading to prolong the display. Roses are the offi cial birthday fl ower for June and, probably because they’re such fusspots, I have to admit that I fi nd them at their loveliest in a bouquet.

One of the great things about June is that you can stay out in the garden until late in the evening, but there’s a slight poignancy too, as after the summer solstice on the 21st,, the nights begin to draw in again - so we must make the most of it.

Design and decorating

Width is the crucial issue in hallways, and unless you’re prepared to do some substantial building work and remove a wall, you’re probably stuck with what you have. To increase the feeling of space in a narrow hallway, use pale colours and add large mirrors (ideal for checking your refl ection just before you leave the house, too). Keep the space as clear as possible by adding only the most essential items of slender storage furniture, and using the full height of your walls rather than encroaching on fl oor space. If, on the other hand, you have a large and spacious hallway – lucky you! Think of it as an extra living space and make the most of it by adding a sofa or chairs, bookcases or a writing desk. For plenty of inspirational ideas, see Hallways, Corridors and Staircases by Leslie Geddes-Brown, with fabulous photography by Christopher Drake (Ryland, Peters & Small, £25). Whatever the size of your hall, consider it as a linking room and make sure your choice of decorative schemes works well when doorways to other rooms are open. If you have chosen a pale colour scheme for the walls, woodwork could be slightly darker for interest. Halls that see a lot of wear and tear could be painted with an extra-tough paint, or clad with tongue-and-groove panelling, tiles or hard-wearing wallpaper.

Fabulous fl ooring

Halls and stairs are high-traffi c areas, so ensure that your fl ooring is non-slip, durable, resistant to dirt and simple to clean – if you can mop it, so much the better. Stone, ceramic or quarry tiles, or colourful Victorian encaustic tiles, are all easy to care for, while solid wooden boards or parquet require only some regular polishing or waxing. Cheap wood laminates may not last too long in such a well-used space. Lino or vinyl can look impressive, too, especially when laid in patterns. Carpet, however, is more problematic as you’ll need to choose a colour or pattern that won’t show the dirt – and make sure that it is suitable for a hallway: an 80:20 twist classifi ed for heavy domestic use is often the best.

Cosy and bright

Under-fl oor heating is ideal for narrow halls, but do check that it will be compatible with your fl ooring. On the other hand, if there’s room, you could opt for eye-catching radiators, perhaps a period-style cast-iron column or an eye-catching modern type.

Hall lighting doesn’t need to be bright enough for reading, but it should be welcoming and lead the eye into your home: it could be an amazing chandelier (given high enough ceilings) or a series of recessed ceiling downlights. In a narrow hall, avoid wall lights – they will just act as obstacles.

introduction to your

home, creating a look and

feel that should be both

attractive and welcoming,

as well as providing

Katherine Sorrell.

Storage

Most people store a variety of things in their halls, from coats, scarves and hats to phone books, buggies or vacuum cleaners. The type of storage you choose is always best moulded around what you need to store, how much space it will take and how frequently you need to access it. The main choice is between built-in, hidden storage or open, display-type storage. The former is best when space is tight – slender fl oor-to-ceiling cupboards with plain doors, (perhaps painted the same colour as the walls, or even mirrored to maximise light) ranked along one wall, will hold masses yet be hardly noticeable. On the other hand, you could make a statement with an eclectic selection of free-standing cupboards, sideboards, tables, benches, dressers, baskets, shelves and so on. If necessary, fi t hooks or pulleys high up on walls to hold bikes, and perhaps a coat stand or row of pegs for everyday coats and bags. Umbrella stands and boot racks are ideal for spacious, country-style halls. Somewhere to keep post and keys is a good idea, too, whether a bowl and rack

on a dresser or a small, wall-mounted cupboard and set of hooks. If you have lots of books or delicate items to display, a shelf running the length of the hallway above head height can be extremely useful. For times when space is really hard to fi nd, it is even possible to build storage drawers into the treads of a wooden staircase.

The Handy HouseholdThe Handy Household Clever Ways with a Sprinkling of Salt

Salt is most commonly used as a fl avour enhancer, but this household staple is much more versatile than that. Salt has an affi nity to water and can draw moisture out of many foods. What’s more, grains of table salt are very hard, which means they can act as an abrasive. These properties give salt a variety of uses around the home.When boiling eggs, a pinch of salt in the water will prevent the shells from cracking and adding a pinch when beating eggs or cream will make them whip faster and higher. Moreover, if you rub salt into the cavities of chicken or turkey, it will help to keep the bird moist while cooking.Staying in the kitchen, washing green leafy vegetables in salt water will easily remove all the dirt and if you need to chill a bottle of wine quickly, just place it in an ice bucket with alternate layers of ice and salt, fi ll with water and your tipple will be ready in about ten minutes. Even red wine stains are no problem to remove - simply cover the stain with salt and pour over boiling water. You can also use salt to remove any sticky residue on the bottom of an iron, by running the hot iron over plain paper sprinkled with salt. And if you are caught out by frost and ice, table salt can be used as a substitute for rock salt, to de-ice paths and pavements.So with all these handy uses, you might want to think twice before tossing that spilled salt over your shoulder.

After a busy day, an elderly friend of mine settled down in his train

from Waterloo for a nap as far as his destination at Winchester, when the chap sitting near him hauled out his mobile and

started up:-

“Hi darling it‛s Peter, I‛m on the train - yes, I know it‛s the 6.30 not the 4.30

but I had a long meeting - no, not with that fl oozie from the typing

pool, with the boss - no darling you‛re the only one in my life - yes, I‛m sure, cross my heart” etc., etc.

This was still going on at Wimbledon, when the young woman opposite, driven beyond endurance, yelled at the top of her voice,

“Hey, Peter, turn that fl ipin‛ phone off and come back to bed!!”

It Is Time! How do you know when it is time to

“hang up the car keys”?

I say when your dog has this look on his face!

A picture is worth a thousand words!
