THE EDITOR'S NOTE V.<br />
IT IS always slightly disconcerting to come<br />
back from a sunny holiday abroad, return<br />
to work and immediately have to deal with<br />
adverts and events that are all promoting<br />
Christmas. The move from summer to autumn this<br />
year seemed to be almost instantaneous, so I have<br />
gone from shorts and polos to jumpers and jackets<br />
overnight. Let’s hope that we can hold off using<br />
scarves for a good few months yet.<br />
At the time of writing, my friend Jane and I are just<br />
about to see off 50 vintage, veteran and classic<br />
motor cars on the annual GUTS Motor Tour, which<br />
raises money for Guildford Undetected Tumour<br />
Screening at the Royal Surrey hospital. This year,<br />
we are visiting the Wellington Country Park,<br />
followed by a picnic lunch at the Royal Military<br />
Academy, Sandhurst. This is the fifth tour we have<br />
organised and after this year, we will have raised<br />
close to £20,000 for a very worthwhile local charity.<br />
If anyone out there would like to help Jane and I<br />
with this endeavour next year (and beyond), please<br />
email me at gutsmotortour@gmail.com as we<br />
would love to have a bit more help!<br />
You will note this month that we have slightly<br />
redesigned the cover and the insides of the<br />
magazine to incorporate our new logo, which is one<br />
we have been using for the past few months on our<br />
social media pages. These are just a few cosmetic<br />
changes to the magazine as we approach our tenth<br />
year of publishing community magazines next year.<br />
How time flies!<br />
On page 10 of this month’s issue, you can read<br />
about <strong>VantagePoint</strong> being awarded the Trade Mark<br />
Surrey Hills. I won’t repeat myself here but we are<br />
all very proud of this and my thanks goes to my<br />
colleagues and our writers who have all promoted<br />
this area, its businesses and the products they<br />
make and sell over the past nine years.<br />

HALLOWEEN<br />
Over the past few years Halloween has quickly become the<br />
party occasion of the year, says Sindy Hammond-Jones.<br />
TEN YEARS ago, you may have seen a few carved pumpkins<br />
dotted about, and the odd little ghost draped in bed linen<br />
wandering the streets, but now, in 20<strong>18</strong>, Halloween really<br />
is big business.<br />
Love it, or hate it, this celebration is not going anywhere,<br />
and in fact, it will only get bigger. With schools, businesses<br />
and work places all embracing Halloween, it’s hard not to<br />
get involved one way or another.<br />
Halloween for any party shop is the busiest time of year.<br />
People celebrate it in so many different ways, from great<br />
big parties to simply going out trick or treating. It is quite<br />
often a drawn out celebration, with perhaps a party<br />
at the weekend before (this year it is Saturday 27th<br />
<strong>October</strong>) and then out trick or treating on the<br />
actual night, Wednesday 31st <strong>October</strong>. At The<br />
Party Company in Godalming, we have been<br />
planning for the big event since March, but so<br />
many people leave it to the last minute.<br />
Hare are a few survival tips to get you through<br />
the ghoulish part of the season:<br />
Trick or treating<br />
If you’re not a fan of trick or treaters knocking<br />
on your door, then baton down the hatches, close the<br />
gates and leave your porch light off! Many newspapers<br />
now publish a poster you can put up to say no to trick or<br />
treaters. So this is always worth looking out for.<br />
Alternatively, if you’re happy to supply everyone with the<br />
sugar rush of the century, maybe put a carved pumpkin or<br />
a candle outside your house to show parents and children<br />
that you’re happy for people to knock on the door.<br />
If you’re feeling generous when handing out treats, make<br />
sure they are wrapped. I personally give an option of<br />
Fancy dress<br />
It’s always a tricky one as everyone always<br />
thinks they have to go for the blood and<br />
gore... when actually if you look at the<br />
Americans, who in my opinion are the Kings<br />
and Queens of Halloween (they’ve been all<br />
out celebrating this for much longer), it’s<br />
more about imagination and creating the<br />
funkiest characters from their favourite<br />
books or TV shows. This I feel can take the<br />
pressure off and makes it a lot easier, as<br />
you can just accessorise day-to-day outfits<br />
or add to fancy dress costumes you already<br />
have. For instance, pirate or princess<br />
costumes can be turned into dead pirates<br />
or princesses... spray with some fabric<br />
blood and paint yourself white and then<br />
add a dash of talcum powder through back<br />
combed hair.<br />
Decorations<br />
Another favourite part of Halloween is<br />
decorating, purely because there are SO<br />
many options these days. You can go<br />
from decorating your porch with a carved<br />
pumpkin and some spiders webs, to<br />
silhouettes in your windows or go the whole<br />
hog with the entire house. Just do what you<br />
are happy to put up and take down, after all<br />
sometimes it’s only just for the day.<br />
Food<br />
This is something fun to do with the children,<br />
from making edible fingers out of hot dogs,<br />
stuffed eyeballs from lychees to jelly brains,<br />
the creativity is endless. Pinterest is a<br />
fountain of knowledge for all your<br />
creative needs…<br />
Finally, if you do decide to<br />
celebrate the frolics of Halloween,<br />
make sure you get to enjoy it<br />
and don’t make the to-do list the<br />
impossible list.<br />
On Saturday the 27th <strong>October</strong>, just<br />
outside The Party Company in Godalming<br />
at the Pepperpot from 10am-4pm, they are<br />
celebrating Halloween with lots of activities<br />
for children. They’ll have face painting, glitter<br />
tattoos, lantern making and biscuit decorating<br />
on the go all day, alongside a Pumpkin Trail in<br />
conjunction with other shops in the town.<br />

fancy dress and accessory needs covered, so pop in, and<br />

Leith Hill (Surrey Hills AONB)<br />
<strong>VantagePoint</strong> awarded<br />
Trade Mark Surrey Hills<br />
WE ARE very pleased to be able to announce<br />
that <strong>VantagePoint</strong> has been awarded the<br />
Trade Mark Surrey Hills in recognition for<br />
the support we have and continue to give<br />
to the Surrey Hills AONB family. We have<br />
supported the Surrey Hills since 2009<br />
when we first started publishing our local<br />
community magazines and will continue to<br />
do so, given we fully endorse their aims and<br />
aspirations.<br />
of high quality that reflect and support the distinct and<br />
special nature of the Surrey Hills and who share the values<br />
of supporting the local environment”.<br />
“Surrey Hills Enterprises seeks to promote local businesses<br />
and encourage the local community to purchase local<br />
products and to support local services, which is exactly what<br />
we at <strong>VantagePoint</strong> set out to do when we published our<br />
first magazine nearly 10 years ago”, said Stefan Reynolds,<br />
publisher of <strong>VantagePoint</strong>.<br />
In presenting the award, Executive Director<br />
of Surrey Hills Enterprises, Wendy Varcoe<br />
MBE, said: “<strong>VantagePoint</strong> Magazine is one<br />
of the outstanding Surrey organisations to<br />
be awarded the Trade Mark Surrey Hills.<br />
It is a new accreditation and a mark of<br />
local provenance and quality. The award<br />
promotes the very best of what Surrey has<br />
to offer and celebrates those organisations<br />
“I am delighted that we have been awarded this Trade Mark<br />
in appreciation of the work we have done over the years<br />
to promote the Surrey Hills and some of the wonderful<br />
businesses, products and services within it, something we<br />
will of course continue to do into the future.”<br />
The Rt Hon Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for<br />
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: “The Surrey Hills<br />
Trade Mark awards play an important role in celebrating<br />
the high-quality products and services the area is renowned<br />
for, and the awardees all deserve our congratulations”.<br />
Rt Hon Michael Gove MP at the launch of the Trade Mark Surrey Hills<br />
10 V. Godalming & Cranleigh<br />
The award is presented by Surrey Hills Enterprises which<br />
works with local businesses to support the rural economy<br />
and to promote, protect and enhance the beautiful Surrey<br />
Hills. As a Community Interest Company, funds generated<br />
from its work go back to support the work of enhancing<br />
Surrey Hills, its landscape and local communities.<br />

The Watts<br />
Gallery and<br />
Artists’ Village<br />
Phil Kemp is captivated by an engrossing<br />
tour of the home and art of England’s<br />
Michelangelo.<br />
HIDDEN AWAY in the beautiful Compton countryside near<br />
Guildford is a unique celebration of the ‘Art for All’ passion<br />
of the Victorian artists George and Mary Watts.<br />
I confess that, apart from a brief visit some years before The<br />
Watts Gallery was completely renovated following a very<br />
effective fundraising drive, I had not taken much interest.<br />
However during a tour of the gallery a few weeks ago I very<br />
quickly started to scold myself for having missed out on a<br />
truly fascinating and absorbing experience.<br />
“This is the main gallery,” Susanna explained<br />
as we walked into a very spacious well-lit<br />
area with tall ceilings divided by a series of<br />
arches. The first room boasted an amazing<br />
rich red flocked wallpaper, and the second<br />
a deep blue - both of which so impressed<br />
me with the way they didn’t detract as<br />
you’d perhaps expect, but instead provided<br />
a perfect backdrop for the collection of<br />
paintings displayed there.<br />
This not only for the art I was to enjoy, but also learning how<br />
The Watts Gallery and Artists’ Village proactively engages<br />
with the community - and reaches out to provide a wide<br />
range of opportunities to experience hands-on creative<br />
‘make’ sessions.<br />
As we approached the main building my guide, Susanna<br />
Plummer, explained what a critical role volunteers play in<br />
keeping the gallery open. “We have over 300 volunteers<br />
who you will meet throughout your visit. They literally help<br />
everywhere and are hands-on with everything ensuring we<br />
stay open. A hard core of about 50 put in a lot of hours on a<br />
constant and ongoing basis. They’re brilliant!”<br />

“There are a couple of works I’d like to<br />
introduce you to that for us are pride of<br />
place. This is After the Deluge,” said Susanna,<br />
as we stood beneath a large oil painting with<br />
a huge sun at its centre completely dwarfing<br />
a watery landscape below. “The idea is that<br />
after 40 days and 40 nights of rain in Noah’s<br />
Flood this portrays the 41st day. Now,<br />
the open-ended question for you is as to<br />
whether you interpret this as a sunset or<br />
perhaps a sunrise?” The more I looked at<br />
the painting, which took George Watts<br />
more than five years to complete, the<br />

more absorbed in the question I became. I was looking<br />
for positives, and perhaps what is so clever here is that<br />
perhaps a sunrise as a beginning is more positive than a<br />
sunset which represents the end. Or does a glorious sunset<br />
augur well for a perfect day tomorrow?<br />
Susanna broke me away from my conundrum as she<br />
steered me towards the second painting, although I was not<br />
in any way prepared for the emotional response this was to<br />
trigger for me. “This is Hope which Watts painted around<br />
the same time,” explained Susanna. “I went to a talk awhile<br />
ago in which I learned that Nelson Mandela had snuck a<br />

Now initially, as I started to examine the<br />
painting, all I could see was a female figure<br />
sitting hunched on a rock blindfolded and<br />
holding a lyre. But as I looked deeper I could<br />
see that she was actually seated on a globe,<br />
her face looked totally at peace, and despite<br />
the fact that there was only one string left<br />
on the instrument, she could still play it.<br />
Susanna had obviously noted my deepening<br />
response, and smiling she asked: “And can<br />
you make out the star at the top? One little<br />
star – and that’s hope isn’t it? Children tend<br />
to spot that star straight away!”<br />
I must admit that I hadn’t, but thanks<br />
to Susanna I realised not only what a<br />
remarkable gallery this was but what an<br />
incredible artist Watts had been. I had<br />
already been challenged prior to my visit<br />
by a description of the artist as ‘England’s<br />
Michelangelo’ - which to me as an<br />
uninformed visitor seemed perhaps overstated.<br />
But I very quickly came around to<br />
the realisation that he was so capable of<br />
delivering very enquiring interpretations of<br />
what he saw and experienced around him,<br />
and with such deep emotion. Surely, he and<br />
Michelangelo were not dissimilar in that<br />
respect?<br />
Where to next? The Sculpture Gallery<br />
of course where you’ll encounter the<br />
monumental 20ft tall Physical Energy,<br />
featuring a horse with rider scanning the<br />
horizon. The sculpture here is the original<br />
plaster one and from which full-sized<br />
bronze statues have been cast and that now<br />
stand in London, Cape Town in South Africa,<br />
and Harare in Zimbabwe.<br />
“It’s absolutely spectacular – and this has<br />
again been re-cast in bronze and is coming<br />
to stand on the edge of the Artists’ Village<br />
estate,” said Susanna. “You should be able to<br />
see it when driving both ways along the A3!”<br />
We explored Limnerslease, the imposing Arts<br />
and Crafts half-timbered home of George<br />
and Mary on the other side of the estate.<br />

THE WATTS GALLERY AND ARTISTS' VILLAGE<br />
“When they came to Compton they realised that not only had<br />
a lot of the traditional crafts fallen out of favour, but that the<br />
largely local agricultural economy was declining in the face of<br />
the modernising Victorian era,” explained Susanna. “So they<br />
decided to help train the local community in practical crafts<br />
and founded The Compton Pottery in <strong>18</strong>98. In fact the Watts<br />
Chapel was crafted and built by Mary, an acclaimed designer<br />
in her own right, with the help of the community.” If you’ve<br />
not visited the extraordinary red brick domed chapel a few<br />
hundred yards down the lane from the house you must. It<br />
is an Arts and Crafts masterpiece adorned with terracotta<br />
tiles and boasts breathtaking blue-green-bronze panels<br />
sympathetically illuminated by recently upgraded lighting.<br />
Above left: Limnerslease. Above top: The Watts Chapel. Above: A<br />

A visit to the house provides an opportunity to explore<br />
George and Mary’s adjoining studios where they worked<br />
tirelessly on pushing the bounds of their creativity. “Here in<br />
The Compton Gallery you can watch a film about the Estate<br />
and see the Artists’ Village being born,” said Susanna. “You<br />
can also see personal effects in the display cases. This one<br />
for example has Mary’s diary in it. And you learn about how<br />
successful the Compton Pottery was trading as it did until<br />
the 1950s. Pieces from the pottery were sold at Liberty’s,<br />
the famous store in London.” I was particularly taken by<br />
George’s own studio where he worked every day, and which<br />
is dominated by the huge canvas of The Court of Death, his<br />
last major work. It hangs on a hoist above a trap door so<br />
it could be lowered in to the room below enabling him to<br />
effortlessly work on the higher parts.<br />
Oh, and don’t forget to ask to see the skeleton in the<br />
cupboard…<br />
On the ground floor there are two learning studios where<br />
hands-on educational visits are hosted. Madeleine Pike,<br />
who helps organise the studios’ activities, explained: “We<br />
tend to tailor the workshop visits to what they’re studying in<br />
school. So they can be quite specifically geared for example<br />
to look at pottery, sculpture, or printmaking, with the<br />
creative workshop led by the artist. And we also have makebased<br />
workshops open to everyone.”<br />

As well as a visit to the gallery shop, housed<br />
in the old Compton Pottery and where you<br />
can browse a wide range of bespoke and<br />
artisan products, also enjoy The Tea Shop<br />
with its mismatched crockery (donated by<br />
members of the public) and their Scone of<br />
the Day. And the last word without question<br />
went to Susanna: “Nowhere else in the<br />
world could I have butternut squash soup<br />
served up with a Nutella scone!”<br />

Pets and Fireworks<br />
Zoe Blake considers some precautions to keep your pet calm on fireworks night<br />
WE ARE getting nearer to that time of year<br />
that many a pet owner fears… fireworks<br />
night!<br />
This can be a stressful time for our pets and<br />
us owners. Sadly it’s not just a ‘one night’<br />
occurrence anymore, they can continue on<br />
for a few weeks making it impossible for us<br />
to know when we might get caught out.<br />
It’s natural that our pets may show a mild<br />
reaction to the noises, however reactions<br />
can be severe and put our pet at risk of<br />
injury. Dogs may pant, shake, hide away,<br />
bark, toilet themselves, and some may<br />
even destroy their immediate environment<br />
almost trying to dig themselves free. Cats<br />
will hide, become withdrawn, urinate in the<br />
house and over groom.<br />
If we plan early we can hopefully reduce the<br />
stress and anxiety that is felt by our pets<br />
(and us). So what can we do?<br />
Before the night<br />
First set up a den; often animals will feel<br />
safer if they have a hiding place to go to.<br />
This can already be an area that our pets<br />
like to spend time in, such as a crate/bed/<br />
wardrobe. Provide plenty of bedding and<br />
padding to ensure the animal sees it as<br />
inviting. Pop a blanket over the top if you<br />
can as this can muffle the external noises.<br />
If you don’t have this sort of set up already<br />
then now is the time to think about where<br />
you might be able to make one. Moving<br />
furniture and clearing out cupboards can<br />
free up areas that can be adapted but<br />
please remember that your pet needs to feel this is a place<br />
of safety and not somewhere that is seen as a punishment.<br />
Ideally set this up a good few weeks before you anticipate<br />
them starting.<br />
There are a number of calming products/supplements on<br />
the market which may help, I am happy to discuss these<br />
with you if you contact me. Sadly for some, these products<br />
are not enough and so medication can be prescribed<br />
but you would need to discuss this with your veterinary<br />
surgeon. I often recommend a ‘dummy run’ before the<br />
night if using medication to check that the dose prescribed<br />
has the desired effect.<br />
On the night<br />
Ensure all windows and doors are closed and you have the<br />
TV on or music playing. Distract your pets by offering them<br />
toys, treats or playtime. Walk all dogs early so as not to get<br />
caught out by the early evening fireworks. Keep all cats<br />
inside overnight and consider bringing in rabbits/guinea<br />
pigs that live outside. Ensure all resources are provided for<br />
your pet if you have changed their normal circumstances,<br />
so a normally outdoor cat will require a litter tray etc. Most<br />
importantly don’t punish your pet for displaying unwanted<br />
behaviour as this can make them more distressed. Consider<br />
a natural supplement or pheromone product to make them<br />
feel calmer. Use medication as prescribed.<br />
After the night<br />
Consider a de-sensitizing programme once firework season<br />
is over.<br />
Good luck!<br />

Highways England - motorway heroes!<br />
Andy Goundry takes a look behind the scenes<br />
Image: Mott MacDonald<br />
MOST DRIVERS will have grumbled about whoever was<br />
responsible for setting the overhead warning signs on a<br />
motorway after obeying their warnings of problems ahead,<br />
only to find the road completely clear.<br />
However, Highways England is the organisation responsible<br />
for those messages, and a visit to their south-eastern control<br />
centre in Godstone made us see the signs in a new light.<br />
Highways England, not the police, are responsible for getting<br />
motorway obstructions safely cleared and the road reopened<br />
as quickly as possible.<br />
Traffic conditions are monitored by cameras mounted high<br />
up alongside the motorway. Whilst these are separate from<br />
the police speed cameras, anyone of a less than law-abiding<br />
disposition should note that the footage is recorded and<br />
could be used as evidence of bad driving.<br />
Each control centre operator has a bank of screens and<br />
controls to monitor the relevant cameras, switch on<br />
overhead sign information as required, and communicate<br />
with their traffic officers on the motorways.<br />
Other operators handle communications into and out of<br />
the centre, for example, to alert local radio and TV stations<br />
of incidents as they develop. Indeed, BBC Radio Surrey and<br />
Sussex's traffic reporter, Sylvie Blackmore, works from a mini<br />
studio in the Godstone Centre.<br />
The initial report about an incident is usually a phone call<br />
from a member of the public. The operator's first task is then<br />
to warn traffic heading towards the scene, so an overhead<br />

probably still unverified (yes, people do<br />
sadly raise false alarm calls), so these<br />

Why? Because usually, the caller has no real<br />
idea of where they are on the motorway,<br />
or sometimes even which motorway they<br />
are on, particularly when they call using a<br />
mobile phone. If it's safe to do so, it's better<br />
to use one of the emergency phones at<br />
the side of the motorway, which connect<br />
directly to the nearest control centre and<br />
automatically identifies the location. If you<br />
have to use a mobile phone, try to give<br />
the operator the number of the closest<br />
marker post – these are located around<br />
100 metres apart on every motorway.<br />
As soon as the incident has been assessed,<br />
the overhead messages are changed to<br />
give more information or instructions. So<br />
if you see an overhead sign which does not<br />
include the word ‘reported’, be especially<br />
wary – because it is telling you that an<br />
incident really has taken place.<br />

A typical Traffic Officer<br />

equipment on his 4x4.<br />
If the incident is a breakdown, Highways<br />
England traffic officers (not the police) are solely responsible<br />
for dealing with these, using their familiar black and yellow<br />
chequered 4x4s.<br />
Despite the traffic officers being the first attendees at many<br />
incidents and so acting almost as a fourth emergency service,<br />
they are amazingly not allowed to drive using blue lights or<br />
sirens, or even exceed the speed limit. This often results in<br />
a crew rushing at their maximum-permitted speed to an<br />
incident whilst traffic hurtles past them blatantly ignoring the<br />
speed limit and the overhead warning signs!<br />
Once at an incident, the crew will assess the situation and<br />
update control. Their duty is to then get the motorway open<br />
again as soon as possible. For example, if it’s a breakdown in<br />
one of the ‘live lanes’, the disabled vehicle is dragged off the<br />
road to a place of safety. If you've ever wondered why the<br />
traffic officers need to use big 4x4s, it’s because they are able<br />
to drag a 44-tonne articulated truck.<br />
Often the crew need to make a temporary motorway<br />
closure to allow a vehicle or debris to be removed from the<br />
carriageway, and this is done by just one two-man crew.<br />
Starting at motorway speed with ‘Do Not Pass’ warning signs<br />
illuminated, the 4x4 then gradually slows all lanes of traffic,<br />

stopping them at a safe distance from the<br />
incident. One crew member starts dealing<br />
with the incident whilst the other speaks to<br />
the lead drivers in the stationary traffic lanes<br />
to ensure that they do not drive off until<br />
given the all-clear.<br />
Once the motorway has been cleared, the<br />
traffic officers then restart the traffic flowing<br />
as quickly as possible. Not until then can<br />
the centre operator switch off the overhead<br />
signs.<br />
The work of the traffic officers can be<br />
incredibly dangerous: close proximity to a<br />
busy motorway is a very dangerous place to<br />
be, and sadly more than one of them has lost<br />
their life whilst performing their duties.<br />
So next time you see the overhead warning<br />
signs operating, drive accordingly, but spare<br />
a thought for all the work going on behind<br />
the scenes to keep us all safe, and moving,<br />
on our motorway network.<br />

Charcoal Making by the Wey Valley Woodman<br />
Phil Kemp meets up with artisan Ian Baldwin to learn how charcoal is made sustainably<br />
WE ALL enjoy a good barbecue in the<br />
summer, don’t we? And the majority of us<br />
still enjoy and champion the traditional<br />
smoky sizzle over red-hot charcoal, rather<br />
than the more clinical cook on a fancy gasflame<br />
grill. As you noisily tip a good pile<br />
of lump charcoal into the bowl of your<br />
barbecue have you ever wondered how it is<br />
made and where it comes from?<br />
I went to see local artisan charcoal burner<br />
Ian Baldwin who with over 20 years’<br />
experience was to really open my eyes on<br />
this traditional craft in action. As we walked<br />
towards his yard on the Birtley Estate near<br />
Bramley, I could see his three kilns with neat<br />
wood piles surrounding each of them. One<br />
was in full burn, chimneys smoking.<br />
“I worked as a ranger for nearly <strong>18</strong> years at<br />
various locations for the council,” explained<br />
Ian in response to my question as to how<br />
he got involved in charcoal. “Working in<br />
countryside management provided me<br />
with a good skills-base and knowledge of<br />
everything woody. And the nice thing about what I’m doing<br />
now is that I’m able to deal with say a problem dangerous<br />
tree and turn it into something useful. A lot of the timber<br />
you see sitting around here you couldn’t do much with. A<br />
lot is very knotty and low-grade firewood, and I can re-use<br />
in effect old fencing posts for example - and we’ve even<br />
turned an old butcher’s block into charcoal!”<br />
Standing next to the closest of the kilns, each of which<br />
endearingly have their own names, these being Hermione,<br />
Ron and Harry (the oldest one) which you may have already<br />
twigged are Potteresque, Ian started to explain the process.<br />
“A normal bonfire has unlimited oxygen available. Inside a<br />
kiln you can restrict this. Around the outer circumference<br />
and level to the ground are four air vents. With the four<br />
chimneys you have in effect eight points of the compass,<br />
four in and four out, providing a constant but controllable<br />
feed of oxygen.”<br />
<br />

CHARCOAL MAKING<br />
We looked inside one of the kilns being<br />
prepared for a new burn. “We stack the kiln<br />
to the top and then pour hot coals down<br />
into the middle to get it going, so effectively<br />
starting a small fire in the centre fed by a<br />
limited supply of oxygen. It's more like<br />
baking wood in a process called pyrolysis.<br />
This is where you’re using fire to boil off the<br />
more reactive chemicals first. The water<br />
boils off as steam. The slowest in the queue<br />
to grab oxygen is carbon - which is handy of<br />
course as that’s exactly what you’re after.”<br />
Ian pointed to the smoke coming out of the<br />
chimneys of the kiln in full burn. “First you<br />
get white smoke which is mainly steam as<br />
the water boils off. Then the smoke turns<br />
blue, to grey, to colourless. And it is at that<br />
point that we stop any more oxygen getting<br />
in by filling in the vent holes at the bottom<br />
to close the burn down.”<br />
I watched Ian’s team for the day hard at<br />
work unloading freshly-made charcoal from<br />
one kiln in readiness for grading on what<br />
Ian fondly refers to as Santa’s sleigh, as the<br />
chute is remarkably similar in shape. And<br />
then loading it with fresh logs. Mike, Ollie<br />
and Richard were only recognisable by the<br />
colours of their t-shirts as all were wearing<br />
respiratory masks. “And what’s nice about<br />
it really is that it is sort of ‘grunty’. You’re<br />
humping bits of wood around and putting<br />
them in the right place. There is a degree<br />
of technicality of course but it i s<br />
minimal.”<br />
Looking inside one of the large<br />
paper sacks filled with perfectly<br />
baked charcoal ready to<br />
go on sale I felt that<br />
this was quite a degree<br />
of understatement,<br />
but I was in the<br />
company of undoubtedly a highly<br />
experienced specialist. And this view was<br />
endorsed by what Ian explained next.<br />
“Biochar is a new word you need to look<br />
up. It’s very small bits of charcoal that are<br />
an extremely clever soil improver. First<br />
discovered in the Amazon as thick layers of<br />
charcoal from a long-lost civilisation - added<br />
to the soil it grabs hold of not just water but<br />

trace minerals that would otherwise leach out and be lost.<br />
I’m currently investigating with Secretts on trials using my<br />
biochar, and hopefully involving Surrey University too.”<br />
Ian had also shown me some large flat tins with holes<br />
punched into the lids, and in which he’d burned<br />
willow to make charcoal pencils favoured by artists.<br />
And this is something you could do at home. But could<br />
you start your own charcoal kiln? Well yes, if you can<br />
find an acceptable location given smoking chimneys – and<br />
have around £1,300 to spend on a new one. You could<br />
build one I suppose if you have the metalworking skills –<br />
but achieving the highly effective burns of The Wey Valley<br />
Woodman would take a lot of learning.<br />

TRAVEL ADVERTORIAL<br />
ISTRIA, CROATIA<br />
Explore a lesser-known region of Croatia, says your local Personal Holiday Planning Concierge service,<br />
Tony Chant from Not Just Travel!<br />
IN THIS issue, we whisk you away to a lesser-known but<br />
equally enticing region of Croatia, the peninsula of Istria in<br />
the far north of the country. It’s a perfect destination for<br />
culturally interested travellers seeking an alternative to the<br />
beach resorts of the popular Dalmatian coast between Split<br />
and Dubrovnik. Here are four particular highlights:<br />
1. Pula and Rovinj<br />
Steeped in history, the port of Pula is the region’s biggest<br />
city. As you amble through the streets, you will encounter<br />
beautifully preserved Roman ruins, the most striking of<br />
these being the amphitheatre dating from the first century<br />
AD. Do catch an open-air concert here if you can. Below<br />
ground, the Zerostrasse tunnels were built during WW1 to<br />
shelter citizens from air raids.<br />
With its vivid, pastel-coloured buildings and hilltop <strong>18</strong>thcentury<br />
church overlooking the azure blue of the Adriatic,<br />
Rovinj is the jewel of the Istrian coastline. Enjoy lunch with<br />
a harbour view and then wander round the coast to the<br />
forest park of Zlatni Rt to take a dip in the sea.<br />
bays and can be explored on foot, by bike,<br />
by car or even by boat.<br />
4. Inland Istria<br />
You’ll need your own wheels to explore the<br />
verdant rolling hills of inland Istria but the<br />
scenic drive and picturesque hilltop towns,<br />
such as Motovun, Hum, and Roč, are well<br />
worth the effort. Enjoy Istrian delicacies<br />
such as fuži (a type of pasta) and truffles in<br />
a charming konoba (tavern).<br />
So, if you would like to know more about a<br />
holiday in Istria or need help to set out an<br />
itinerary in another destination, give Tony a<br />
call on 01428 748440 or visit www.Facebook.<br />
com/NotJustTravelTonyChant<br />
Watch out for next month’s edition of<br />
<strong>VantagePoint</strong> for a closer look at another great<br />
holiday destination.<br />
2. Brijuni Islands<br />
Perfect for a shady stroll, the Brijuni Islands were once home<br />
to President Tito. It was here that he entertained politicians,<br />
film stars and royalty from around the world and he even<br />
had his own zoo, which is still in operation today. Pop in to<br />
the ‘Boathouse’ to learn more about the culture, history and<br />
natural heritage of this archipelago, just a 15-minute boat<br />
ride from Fažana.<br />
3. The Verudela Peninsula<br />
An ideal location for a lazy day in the sun and a swim in<br />
crystal clear waters, this national park in southern Istria is<br />
shaped by a rugged landscape and numerous inlets and<br />

Autumn Recipes<br />
Shallot, Pumpkin and Red Pepper Soup<br />
with Candied Shallot and Pumpkin Seeds<br />
Butternut Squash, Shallot & Butterbean<br />
Casserole<br />
Ingredients:<br />
For the soup: 4 red peppers, deseeded and cut into<br />
quarters, 30g butter, 1 tbsp rapeseed oil, 6 shallots, diced<br />
and peeled, 750g pumpkin, peeled and diced into 2cm<br />
pieces, 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped, 4 garlic<br />
cloves, peeled and crushed, leaves of one sprig of thyme, 1.2<br />
litre good vegetable stock, 100ml double cream (optional),<br />
sea salt and black pepper. For the candied shallots: 250g<br />
unsalted butter, 1/4 tsp of cumin seeds, 8 (250g) shallots,<br />
peeled and sliced, 1/4 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp paprika,<br />
1 tsp honey. To serve: 2 tsp chives, finely chopped, 30g<br />
pumpkin seeds, toasted, 120ml low fat crème fraiche.<br />
Method:<br />
1. Place the peppers skin side up, on a baking sheet<br />
and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes,<br />
until the skins are charred. Remove from the oven and<br />
place in a bowl. Cover with cling film and leave to cool.<br />
Once cool, peel off the skins, and reserve the flesh.<br />
2. Meanwhile, melt the butter with oil in a large, heavy<br />
based saucepan. Add the shallots, pumpkin and red<br />
chilli, season with sea salt and black pepper and sweat<br />
the vegetables for 5-10 minutes without browning.<br />
Add the garlic and thyme and cook on a low heat for<br />
a further minute. Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to<br />
the boil and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Add in the<br />
red peppers and cook for a further 5 minutes.<br />
3. For the candied shallots, melt the butter in a small<br />
pan over a medium heat, add the cumin seeds and<br />
shallots and fry until soft. Add the ground cumin and<br />
paprika and cook the shallots for a further 1 minute,<br />
stirring the shallot mixture all the time to prevent<br />
burning. Fry until caramelised for approx. 1-2 minutes.<br />
Remove from the heat and season with sea salt and<br />
stir in the honey.<br />
4. Blend the soup in a food processor or with a hand<br />
blender and adjust the seasoning to taste. Return to<br />
the pan, if a little thick add more stock and if you wish,<br />
stir in the cream. Gently reheat the soup and ladle<br />
into warmed bowls. Place a spoonful of low fat crème<br />
fraiche in each and sprinkle with the chives, toasted<br />
pumpkin seeds and candied shallots.<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 medium butternut squash (approx 600-800g), cut into<br />
2.5cm chunks (leave the skin on for added texture), 12<br />
shallots, peeled and left whole, 6 sage leaves, roughly<br />
chopped, 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 3 cloves garlic,<br />
crushed, 1 heaped tbsp flour, 175ml white wine, 1 tin<br />
butterbeans, drained and rinsed, 400ml vegetable stock, 2<br />
tbsp sundried tomato paste. For the dumplings: 200g self<br />
raising flour, 100g vegetable suet, 2 tsp dried mixed herbs,<br />
salt and freshly ground black pepper, 5-8 tbsp cold water.<br />
Method:<br />
1. Place the butternut squash and shallots in a roasting<br />
tin along with the olive oil, sage leaves and a good grind<br />
of pepper and salt to taste. Roast in a hot oven (220°C/<br />
Gas 7) for 20-30 minutes until the vegetables are tinged<br />
with colour at the edges.<br />
2. Whilst the squash and shallots are cooking make the<br />
dumplings by combining all the dry ingredients in a<br />
large bowl. Add enough cold water to bring it together<br />
to make a soft dough. Shape the dough into 8 small<br />
balls and set aside.<br />
3. When the squash and shallots are cooked, remove<br />
from the oven and turn the temperature down to<br />
<strong>18</strong>0°C/Gas 4.<br />
4. Add the flour to the roasting tin, stirring to coat the<br />
vegetables and soak up all the roasting juices. Add the<br />
garlic and white wine to the roasting tin, scraping the<br />
bottom to release all the sticky caramelised bits.<br />
5. Transfer to an oven proof casserole and add the<br />

I LOVE terrariums and bottle gardens! I<br />
so enjoy designing tiny plant worlds and<br />
creating miniature gardens. This is the ideal<br />
time to build a terrarium or bottle garden,<br />
and these Lilliputian microcosms are fun to<br />
make. They really will enhance your home<br />
and provide the perfect gardening therapy<br />
through the autumn and winter months.<br />
If you’d like to create your own terrarium<br />
or bottle garden you will need:<br />
• A clear glass vessel: you could use an old<br />
fish tank, a glass jar, or an old carboy.<br />
• Grit or gravel: to form a drainage layer at<br />
the base of your terrarium.<br />
• Activated charcoal (available online and<br />
from aquarium shops) to keep the compost<br />
sweet.<br />
• Peat free coir compost: for planting.<br />
• A bucket and water: to soak your block of<br />
coir compost in, prior to planting.<br />
• A piece of weed suppressant fabric, or a<br />
remnant of cotton material: to keep the<br />
compost above from blending into your<br />
drainage layer below – cut your material to<br />
size to cover the base of your terrarium.<br />
• Terrarium plants: Choose plants that<br />
are suited to lower light levels and high<br />
humidity. For this terrarium I have used<br />
Pileas, ferns, and Fittonias, but the choice<br />
is yours, you’ll find an extensive plant list at<br />
www.pumpkinbeth.com.<br />
Instructions:<br />
GARDENING Beth Otway<br />
Bottle gardens and terrariums<br />
• Wash your clear glass vessel and allow to<br />
dry.<br />
36 V. Godalming & Cranleigh<br />
• If your coir compost arrives in block form you will need<br />
to soak the block in a bucket of water for up to 45 minutes<br />
before planting. It’s wise to check the compost after 15<br />
minutes, as you may need to add more water.<br />
• Water your plants to ensure that they are hydrated and<br />
ready to be planted.<br />
• Place a 2-3cm (1”) layer of grit and activated charcoal in the<br />
base of your terrarium.<br />
• Sprinkle a thin layer of activated charcoal over the top.<br />
• Then place your piece of weed suppressant fabric, or<br />
cotton material over the top to cover the grit and keep your<br />
compost separate from the drainage layer below.<br />
• Ensure that your coir compost is moist but not waterlogged,<br />
then mix some activated charcoal into your coir compost<br />
and add this compost mix to your terrarium. The compost<br />
should be about 6-7cm (2-3”) deep.<br />
• Now it’s time for the plants! You may wish to position<br />
your plants inside your terrarium first, so you can find an<br />
arrangement you’re happy with before you begin planting.<br />
• Place your planted terrarium in a bright to semi shaded<br />
position, away from harsh, direct sunlight and cold drafts.<br />
The middle of the room is often a good location, or the<br />
corners of a bright room.<br />

WEEKEND WALK V.<br />
Thursley to Grayswood<br />
This interesting walk takes you through woods and fields, up and down hills and offers some splendid views.<br />
It was submitted by Guildford Rambling Club (see guildfordramblingclub.org.uk)<br />
TURN LEFT along the road and walk about 300 yards<br />
to find a tunnel, on the right, under the A3. You will<br />
need to hop over the low safety barrier to go down<br />
steps and under the A3. On the other side, turn left<br />
and walk out into a field. Follow the path down the<br />
slope half-left to reach trees and a stile.<br />
Climb over the stile and drop down left onto a track<br />
and follow it to pass the house at Hole Farm. Go out<br />
of the entrance gate and turn right. Quickly fork left<br />
to follow the wide track for about 1.25 miles. Along<br />
the way pass a lake, on your right, ignore a finger<br />
post pointing left and eventually emerge on a bend<br />
in a metalled lane. Blackhanger Farm is down to the<br />
right but you continue forward over Halnacker Hill,<br />
passing a lone house to reach a road.<br />
Turn right and walk 350 yards, passing Halnacker<br />
Cottage, to reach a road junction. Here hook back<br />
left, signed to Brook. After about 0.25 miles, find<br />
a finger post pointing right. Follow this down<br />
and then on for over a mile, along a wide grassy<br />
corridor, sometimes along the left-hand side of<br />
fields and through a number of gates until you<br />
reach a T junction with a very wide corridor. You<br />
can see the large modern barns of Witley Farm<br />
away to your left.<br />
Here, turn right and walk up and over slight rise<br />
and on until you reach trees. Immediately you will<br />
see, on your right, an information plaque for the<br />
site of a medieval moated manor house. There is<br />
a little island, covered in primroses and daffodils in<br />
the Spring. Continue on, quickly passing a pond on<br />
your left and swinging right to follow the path into<br />
a large field. Turn right and walk along its edge to<br />
a gate onto a metalled drive. To the left is a railway<br />
bridge but you turn right.<br />
Walk a little way, almost to South Park Farm and,<br />
here, take a footpath left and into a field. Follow<br />
the path alongside the garden fence, around the<br />
end of the garden and though a gate. Turn left and<br />
follow the hedge along the grassy track to a railway<br />
embankment. The path takes you right, through a<br />
gate and up to emerge at the start of the drive to<br />
Damson Farm. Turn left and immediately go under<br />
a railway bridge. Continue along the track, passing<br />
scattered houses until eventually emerging on the<br />
Grayswood Road with All Saints Church and the<br />
green to your right and with the Wheatsheaf further<br />
along. You could picnic in the churchyard or on the<br />
green.<br />

After lunch, walk past the pub a little way and turn<br />
right, down a private road. Just beyond the first<br />
house, take a path forking off to the right. Follow<br />
this down into trees and then up to reach and cross<br />
the railway line. On the other side, continue forward<br />
to reach a junction with a yellow arrow pointing left<br />
(towards Haslemere) and another pointing right,<br />
into a small field. Enter the field and go straight<br />
across and out onto a track. Turn left.<br />
Now comes a steady one mile climb. You continue<br />
along the track, ignoring a faint fork right at a point<br />
where the track swings left. Reach a T junction with<br />
another track and turn right. Pass a lone house and<br />
ignore an immediate left. The track soon swings<br />
left and you follow it, ignoring a track right. Reach<br />
a fork and follow a yellow arrow right. The track<br />
climbs steeply and swings left. At a junction with a<br />
track heading off to the left and down, go right.<br />
vantagepointmag.co.uk
SPONSORED BY<br />
Gibbet Hill (N Chadwick)<br />
The track levels out and passes the site of the<br />
Temple of the Four Winds, which was a lodge built<br />
in 1910 by Viscount Pirrie. Continue on up and then<br />
down to a barrier at a 5 way junction. Ignoring a<br />
left turn and two forks right, go straight ahead and<br />
steeply up onto Gibbet Hill. There is a trig point<br />
here, also a memorial to a murdered sailor and<br />
splendid views. Go straight across and down onto<br />
the Quiet Lane, a metalled lane. Turn right to walk<br />
along it for about 0.75 miles to its end and then<br />
beyond. A lane merges in from the left.<br />
a green metal barrier. Here, turn right. Follow the<br />
path down and on until reaching a T junction with<br />
a wide track. Turn right and walk through to the<br />
starting car park.<br />
(2) Or, simply continue forward down a wide<br />
metalled lane, Punchbowl Lane, to reach the<br />
starting car park.<br />
Either:<br />
(1) To see views down into the Devil’s Punchbowl,<br />
just beyond this point turn left up a track signed<br />
“Unsuitable for motor vehicles”. The Punchbowl will<br />
appear to your left. Continue up and over the top<br />
and on until encountering, on the right-hand side,<br />
DISTANCE: 7.5 miles<br />
OS MAPS: Explorer 133 Haslemere & Petersfield.<br />
STARTING POINT: Car park in Boundless Road, nr Thursley.<br />
HOW TO GET THERE: Turn off the A3 southbound for<br />
Thursley turning right to cross the A3. On the other side<br />
turn left then quickly left again down the start of the slip<br />
road up from the A3 (if coming north, this is on your left<br />
just after you turn off for Thursley). A short way down<br />
here, turn right into Boundless Road. Drive about a<br />
mile to find a small car park on the right, just before the<br />
Boundless Road dives under the A3.<br />

JOTTINGS<br />
Jottings - your community noticeboard<br />
Jottings is your FREE community noticeboard for charities, local events, groups and information, compiled<br />
by Nick & Angie Crisell. To feature, please email jottings@vantagepublishing.co.uk by the first Friday of the<br />
month prior to month of publication. Please note that space is limited and inclusion cannot be guaranteed.<br />
I must admit to having done very little over the past<br />
month as I have been recovering from having a new knee,<br />
albeit a partial replacement. I have been fairly diligent on<br />
the exercise front and after 50 years of being told to “get on<br />
yer bike” by Angie I have done just that. Luckily the cricket<br />
has been on so I have been able to peddle away and watch at<br />
the same time. Actually, if any of you are contemplating new<br />
knees, I can say that the experience is not as bad as I thought.<br />
It’s all about exercising and being patient. Full recovery does<br />
take time but everyone I have spoken to says it is absolutely<br />
worth it. Anyway, it seems looking through the Jottings, that<br />
there is quite a bit going on in <strong>October</strong> so I will definitely be<br />
getting “on me bike”!<br />

with four-part harmonies-then fuse it all into songs whose<br />
subjects range from ‘shi**y white wine’ to the first day's<br />
battle at Passchendale. These guys are rapidly becoming the<br />
go-to and must-see Festival band and this summer played<br />
to huge audiences at Wickham, Cropredy and Cornbury<br />
Festivals. Taking place at Grayshott Village Hall, Headley Road,<br />

COMMUNITY<br />
Godalming Cyclathon<br />
ON SUNDAY <strong>18</strong>th November, the Rotary<br />
Clubs in Godalming will present the<br />
Godalming Cyclathon at Snap<br />
Fitness, High Street.<br />
The Godalming Cyclathon is a fun<br />
event, which is organised by Rotary in<br />
Godalming to raise money for charity<br />
through the sponsorship of riders<br />
and teams. Each team of 1 to 5 riders<br />
cycles for a session of 50 minutes,<br />
shared between them as they wish.<br />
Our hope is that in addition to the<br />
entry fee of £50, each team will raise much-needed<br />
additional funds for our charities.<br />
Cycling on an exercise bike for about 10 minutes<br />
per rider may not sound too demanding, but<br />
remember that this is a sprint event and the<br />
winners are people who have determination and<br />
stamina! There are different categories of teams<br />
and prizes for the winners in each category.<br />
V.<br />
only charge for them will be the entry fee of £50.<br />
And local schools may enter a team either to raise<br />
money for our charities or for their own cause.<br />
Entrants with a heart condition, high blood<br />
pressure or any condition requiring the avoidance<br />
of strenuous activity should take medical advice<br />
before participating in this event.<br />
For more information, please visit the website at<br />
www.cyclathon-rotarygodalming.co.uk.<br />
Warm thanks to all sponsors (see their links on<br />
the website), whose help and support has enabled<br />
Rotary to hold this second annual Godalming Charity<br />
Cyclathon.<br />
They are also inviting Registered Charities, should<br />
they wish to do so, to use the Cyclathon to raise<br />
money for their own cause by entering a team. The<br />
<strong>VantagePoint</strong> is a media partner for the Godalming Cyclathon<br />

Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017, award-winning storyteller,<br />
Danyah Miller presents a UK tour of the production this<br />
autumn and it is coming to Cranleigh Arts Centre on Friday<br />
5th. The play explores what drives us to want to live perfect<br />
lives as mothers, daughters, wives, sisters and breadwinners.<br />
Looking at our society the play questions what<br />
makes women want to be perfect and asks - what is so bad<br />
about imperfection anyway? Focusing on five generations<br />
of Miller’s own family, this universal and archetypal story<br />
examines the, often complex, relationship between mothers<br />
and daughters (and family dynamics). Incidentally, Danyah<br />
moved to Cranleigh from Hertfordshire last September so is<br />
now a local resident. Tickets can be obtained online at www.<br />
cranleighartscentre.org. or by calling 01483 278000.<br />

standing. Friday 19th <strong>October</strong> sees award-winning singersongwriter,<br />

Traditionally Ramster Garden in Chiddingfold has only opened<br />
for two weeks during <strong>October</strong>, but this year the family run<br />
garden has decided to stay open for an extra week. This<br />
means visitors have a greater opportunity to see the many<br />
seasonal highlights; including the unique 100-year-old avenue<br />
of maples which burst into life with coppery orange and<br />
vibrant reds to produce an incredible show of autumn colour.<br />
Visitors can also enjoy the maze of different paths around<br />
the 20-acre woodland garden to discover hidden sculptures,<br />
natural carvings and the tranquil lake setting. New on the<br />
map is the viewpoint of the Valley of the Giants which features<br />
exotic trees including Eastern Hemlock, the Giant Sequoia, the<br />
Grand Fir, currently standing at 47m and the prized Japanese<br />
Cedar which can reach an age of 7000 years. Entry fees<br />
apply to the garden (free entry for seasonal ticket holders and<br />
children under the age of 16 accompanied by an adult). Tea<br />
House and free parking. Dogs on short leads are welcome.<br />

Have you ever returned to your car and found it has been damaged?<br />
Maybe a small, but annoying dent, caused by a door being opened against it?<br />
A scrape from another driver’s parking error? A vandal scratch on the paint work?<br />
Or maybe you have misjudged a gateway, brushed a kerb with an alloy wheel, or scuffed<br />
a bumper corner?<br />
Smart Pro offers a mobile dent removal and paint repair service, specialising in small to<br />
medium area repairs, to body shop standard, at your home or place of work. Most repairs<br />
take only a few hours to complete and cost less than your insurance excess!<br />
The customer of this Honda Jazz was facing an insurance claim, which would have resulted<br />
in the bumper being replaced and the loss of their £250 excess. Smart Pro was<br />
able to repair the damage for much less than the excess and with no insurance claim on<br />
their record!
