Wicked display!<br />

With the excitement that construction<br />

of the Wicked film set at Ivinghoe<br />

has brought to the area (and the<br />

hope that Ariana Grande might do a Keanu<br />

Reeves and appear in one of the town’s pubs<br />

looking for lunch!) it’s lovely to see florist<br />

Magnolia in the High Street entering into<br />

the spirit.<br />

Proprietor Helen Mitchell and florist Georgia<br />

Hazel put together this mini version of the<br />

Munchkin village. They told <strong>Living</strong>: ‘We have<br />

seen the film set up in Ivinghoe where they are<br />

currently filming Wicked and we thought we<br />

would create our own mini version of the village<br />

and the yellow brick road to let the people of<br />

<strong>Tring</strong> know that it’s being filmed right on<br />

our doorstep!’<br />

Come and run for fun!<br />

The <strong>Tring</strong> Midsummer Fun Run is now in<br />

its 21st year, and is one of the most<br />

popular running events in Dacorum. It’s<br />

an event for the whole family with races for all<br />

age groups - from pre-schoolers to adults. This<br />

year’s Fun Run will take place at <strong>Tring</strong> Park<br />

Cricket Club on Wednesday, 21 June, with the<br />

first races starting at 5.30pm. Entry is just £1 per<br />

child and free for pre-school children! Every<br />

child will receive a medal, which may even be<br />

handed to you by the Mayor of <strong>Tring</strong>.<br />

Local children were asked to design this year’s<br />

medal and the winning design was created by<br />

Kaja Ziembaczewska, as chosen by the children<br />

of Dundale school. The adult run (year 10 and<br />

above) will follow a 6km loop through <strong>Tring</strong> and<br />

will start at 7:30 pm. Grab your friends and join<br />

in; you might even win one of the team prizes.<br />

Fingers crossed the sun will shine again, just as<br />

it did last year. There’ll be music, a BBQ and<br />

other refreshment stalls too.<br />

Pendley Manor launches<br />

Rose Garden Grand Suite<br />

Pendley Manor has launched its new Rose<br />

Garden Grand Suite, giving guests the<br />

opportunity to indulge in large-scale<br />

events, all in the middle of a peaceful forest<br />

glade in 35 acres of rural Hertfordshire.<br />

Situated adjacent to Pendley<br />

Hertfordshire has<br />

been officially<br />

recognised as one of<br />

the safest places to live in<br />

England and Wales.<br />

Police and Crime<br />

Commissioner for<br />

Hertfordshire David Lloyd<br />

welcomed the latest figures<br />

from the Office for National<br />

Statistics (ONS) which show<br />

the county has the fifth<br />

lowest overall crime rate.<br />

Measured across 43 police force areas,<br />

Hertfordshire registered 63.3 crimes per 1,000<br />

finished with a neutral wooden floor throughout,<br />

high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and plenty of<br />

natural light. It provides a dream setting for<br />

weddings, with a dedicated events team taking<br />

care of all the details, so couples can focus on<br />

exchanging vows and simply celebrating.<br />

According to General Manager Chetan Bhanot:<br />

‘One common theme has been an influx of<br />

enquiries for celebratory events – receptions,<br />

award ceremonies, dinners, and even summer<br />

and Christmas parties.’<br />

He added: ‘We are very excited to play host to<br />

some superb functions in this spectacular new<br />

space, which brings fresh new surroundings for<br />

people to come together and celebrate.’<br />

Herts ‘one of the top five safest places’<br />

residents, which is two thirds of the average. It is<br />

the lowest in the Eastern region with Cambridge<br />

scoring 80.7, Essex 91 and Norfolk 75.7.<br />

• Hertfordshire has, however, been revealed as<br />

one of the five places most susceptible to<br />

cybercrime in England and Wales.<br />

A study by cyber security experts CloudTech24<br />

found that residents of the Greater Manchester<br />

area were most susceptible to cybercrime, with<br />

the Hertfordshire area in fifth place. In the past<br />

13 months, there were 648 cybercrime reports or<br />

5.42 reports per 10,000 people. Social media and<br />

email account hacking were the most common<br />

reports, followed by computer viruses or<br />

malware cases.<br />

Stringer Mann teaches good finance habits<br />

Robert Stringer and Ed Evans of Stringer<br />

Mann Chartered Financial Planners<br />

recently completed a series of free, fun<br />

and engaging financial education workshops for<br />

Year 9 students at Berkhamsted School, to help<br />

them build brighter financial futures.<br />

Aimed at children aged 13-14, the workshops,<br />

called Your Future. were interactive and highenergy,<br />

incorporating strategic game play<br />

and discussion-based learning. The young<br />

people learned about risk and reward, saving,<br />

banking, budgeting, borrowing, lending<br />

and more.<br />

Robert Stringer, partner of the Berkhamstedbased<br />

firm and founder of Hector’s House, a<br />

<strong>Tring</strong> Swimming Club’s A team has taken<br />

top spot in the Herts Major League and<br />

earned promotion to the premier league.<br />

<strong>Tring</strong> was the only club in Hertfordshire to<br />

enter two teams into this year’s league, and after<br />

suicide prevention and mental health awareness<br />

charity for young people, said: ‘It’s reported that<br />

96% of British teenagers worry about money<br />

daily. And we know now that money habits can<br />

begin to form in children as young as seven, so<br />

the younger we start educating them the better<br />

– not only for their financial futures but for<br />

their mental health as well.’<br />

Sarah Gledhill, head of sociology & head of<br />

personal development at Berkhamsted School,<br />

commented: ‘We recognise the role that<br />

effective financial education can play in overall<br />

wellbeing and feel that these sessions have been<br />

a valuable addition to our personal development<br />

curriculum this year.’’<br />

<strong>Tring</strong> swimmers win league<br />

two thrilling rounds and a stunning finale, team<br />

A won first place, while team B achieved a very<br />

impressive fifth position.<br />

Both teams put in some very gutsy<br />

performances from swimmers who gave it their<br />

all in every race to maximise points. The club’s<br />

motto - Teamwork, Skills, Compete - really<br />

proved itself, as the swimmers worked well in<br />

teams, and their finely tuned skills provided the<br />

strength and stamina in the water to go the extra<br />

millisecond.<br />

“Special thanks also go to the coaches and<br />

volunteers of the club who make these things<br />

happen, while unlocking the talent and<br />

dedication of our amazing swimmers,” said<br />

chairman Mike Billingham. “In the end, the<br />

combined teamwork paid off, securing both<br />

teams well-earned results.”<br />

Herts Girl Guides launch police badge<br />

Around 100 Hertfordshire Girl Guides<br />

aged from five to 14 became the first in<br />

the county to earn the Girlguiding<br />

Policing Challenge Badge recently.<br />

Catherine Roper, a long-serving Guide Leader<br />

for Girlguiding in Berkhamsted and the National<br />

Police Chief Council lead for Children and Young<br />

People, was joined by Hertfordshire police<br />

officers and staff with Rainbows, Brownies and<br />

Girl Guides at Thomas Corum School in<br />

Berkhamsted.<br />

A<br />

decision from the inquiry into the<br />

Marshcroft development in <strong>Tring</strong> is not<br />

likely to appear until the autumn.<br />

While the gathering of evidence has been<br />

completed, the inspector must complete his<br />

report and make a recommendation to Michael<br />

Gove, the Minister of State.<br />

The proposed development would see 1,400<br />

dwellings on farmland in the Green Belt east of<br />

<strong>Tring</strong>, abutting the Chilterns AONB between<br />

Bulbourne and Station Road, <strong>Tring</strong>, either side of<br />

Marshcroft Lane.<br />

Together, they spent an afternoon undertaking<br />

a series of activities including a crime solving<br />

exercise; how to keep themselves safe; and<br />

understanding the vehicles and equipment used<br />

by frontline policing teams, including a drone<br />

demonstration from Hertfordshire’s Rural<br />

Operational Support Team.<br />

Catherine Roper, who is now Chief Constable<br />

of Wiltshire Police, said: ‘The Girlguiding Police<br />

Challenge Badge offers an ideal opportunity to<br />

get the local Guiding units of all ages to think<br />

about the values of policing and public service.<br />

‘I would like to congratulate Hertfordshire<br />

Constabulary for launching the Girlguiding<br />

Policing badge and thank them for being part of<br />

such a special day. The girls had a brilliant time.<br />

We want to see more young women joining the<br />

police service and I think earning the Police<br />

Challenge Badge<br />

is a great step to<br />

help us in<br />

promoting<br />

policing careers<br />

to girls and<br />

young women.’<br />

Marshcroft decision expected in the autumn<br />

The proposal was refused by Dacorum Borough<br />

Council and a Planning Inquiry into that refusal<br />

was conducted during February and March.<br />

Everybody needs good neighbours<br />

Rennie Grove is bringing the<br />

Compassionate Neighbours project<br />

to Dacorum - and looking for<br />

new volunteers.<br />

Compassionate Neighbours is an awardwinning<br />

social movement that sees volunteers<br />

matched with community members in their<br />

area, to offer friendship and emotional support<br />

to people who are lonely, ill or isolated due to<br />

life-limiting illness or bereavement.<br />

Fiona McGregor has been volunteering for two<br />

years. She says: ‘My first Community Member was<br />

isolated due to illness and didn’t have family living<br />

nearby. I visited her at home once a week to offer<br />

company and friendship. I feel we both gained<br />

friendship, and I<br />

am now looking<br />

forward to a similar<br />

relationship with<br />

my new<br />

local match.’<br />

Volunteers don’t need any kind of experience<br />

or relevant background, as full training and<br />

support is given.<br />

To find out more about either accessing<br />

the support of a Compassionate Neighbour<br />

or offering your time, email<br />

compassion@peacehospicecare.org.uk or call<br />

Farmers Market moves to High Street<br />

The market offers a variety of fresh produce,<br />

including lamb, beef, pork, eggs from rare<br />

breed chickens, a range of breads, cakes,<br />

honey and other preserves, charcuterie and<br />

cheese, some of which is ripened locally<br />

at Wendover.<br />

As the better weather approaches, the<br />

market is brimming with fresh summer<br />

produce, including High Speed Stilton<br />

cheese, and other delicious items that are<br />

perfect for any summer gathering. The<br />

market encourages eating seasonally<br />

and locally, which is a challenging but<br />

rewarding experience.<br />

In addition to fresh produce, the market<br />

also hopes to introduce a veg stall.<br />

The new location is expected to encourage<br />

more High Street shopping to support the<br />

town and community engagement.<br />

To address the growing waiting lists and lack<br />

of support for children with special educational<br />

needs, Your Way Psychology and Education has<br />

recently started supporting children and<br />

families in <strong>Tring</strong>, Berkhamsted, and<br />

surrounding villages by providing private<br />

autism assessments and support services. Their<br />

approach mirrors that of NHS services but with<br />

a wait list of a few weeks and not years.<br />

only) led by Paul Sinha, The Sinnerman.<br />

Music takes centre stage on Saturday 15<br />

July with live performances all day and into<br />

the night. There will be a range of games and<br />

activities on offer for youngsters - and the young<br />

at heart - in the new FunZone, and festival-goers<br />

will be encouraged to get their glitter on in the<br />

Glow Up Tent.<br />

Autism may<br />

present itself in a<br />

number of ways,<br />

including difficulties<br />

with friendships, communication, adjusting<br />

behaviour to suit various social contexts, and<br />

picking up on social cues; restricted or repetitive<br />

behaviours; an unusually deep fascination in a<br />

topic or object, and being under or over-sensitive<br />

to sounds, lights, texture, and smells.<br />

Receiving an autism diagnosis is just the first<br />

step in getting the right support in school. Your<br />

Way Psychology and Education help parents<br />

work with schools and find a way forward for<br />

their child to receive the necessary support.<br />

Changing a child’s surname:<br />

what you need to consider<br />

A<br />

child’s surname can be a significant part<br />

of their identity and ancestral history.<br />

The decision on whose surname a child<br />

should carry can therefore be a substantial one.<br />

Sometimes, one parent may decide that it is<br />

necessary for a child’s surname to be changed.<br />

This often occurs when parents separate and the<br />

mother may want her and her child to use her<br />

maiden name, for example.<br />

It is not a decision that should be taken<br />

lightly, so here are five key things that you<br />

should consider.<br />

1. Obtaining agreement<br />

A surname can be lawfully changed, provided<br />

that all those with Parental Responsibility give<br />

consent. Name changes can be implemented<br />

by Change of Name Deed or by Deed Poll.<br />

2. If an agreement cannot be reached<br />

If one person with Parental Responsibility<br />

disagrees with changing the surname, matters<br />

can become more complicated.<br />

Without the consent of others with Parental<br />

Responsibility for the child, a child’s surname<br />

cannot be changed unless the Court grants<br />

permission.<br />

The Court’s decision depends on the<br />

reasoning behind the application - note that<br />

there is a high threshold that will need to<br />

be met. The Court often takes the view that<br />

the child should keep its surname as it is,<br />

unless the change will result in an obvious<br />

improvement to the child’s welfare.<br />

3. The child’s wishes and feelings<br />

For children old enough to understand the<br />

implications of a name change, we advise<br />

those with Parental Responsibility to take the<br />

child’s wishes and feelings into consideration.<br />

If the issue regarding the child’s surname<br />

is presented before a Court, the Court will<br />

consider the child’s wishes and feelings.<br />

However, it is worth noting that these are not<br />

always determinative to a Court.<br />

4. The welfare of the child<br />

Ultimately, the welfare of the child is of<br />

paramount importance to the Court.<br />

When determining whether to agree to<br />

changing a child’s surname, the Court will<br />

consider the effect of the change on the child’s<br />

welfare, including considering the length<br />

of time the child has been known by their<br />

existing surname, the effect that changing (or<br />

not changing) their surname would have on<br />

them and the reason(s) for the change<br />

of surname.<br />

5. Family tradition and heritage:<br />

You may wish to consider the importance<br />

of maintaining a family name or<br />

cultural heritage.<br />

In summary, changing a child’s surname<br />

is a complex decision that requires<br />

careful consideration of the legal, emotional<br />

and practical factors. If there is a dispute<br />

between those with Parental Responsibility,<br />

we suggest seeking legal advice and<br />

considering alternative dispute<br />

resolution options.<br />

harnesses on and we had a lovely stroll around the field, stopping for them to enjoy<br />

some new grass and some nibbles. Owner Sam has set up stopping stations around the<br />

field, where she will explain more about alpacas, where they are from, how they live in<br />

the wild and so on.<br />

After your amble you could stop off for a cuppa at the Stable Shack Tea room.<br />

The little cafe has also become well-known for its afternoon teas, with home made<br />

cakes and sandwiches.<br />

The witch<br />

that never<br />

was<br />

<strong>Tring</strong>’s John Bly has recently published<br />

the story of Ruth Osborne (‘the<br />

Witch of <strong>Tring</strong>’), the last woman to<br />

be condemned to death for witchcraft in the<br />

UK. John was inspired to find out more after<br />

reading her tale on the <strong>Tring</strong> Rural History<br />

website. Ruth’s fate is described in story<br />

form in the book by Alan Warner from Long<br />

Marston, one of the site’s founders.<br />

Below are extracts from the first two chapters<br />

of The Witch That Never Was.<br />

Ruth Osborne’s story; Early April 1751<br />

We approach the door of the farmhouse and<br />

John knocks softly. No one comes to the door<br />

so he knocks again, much harder this time. A<br />

man opens the door and he has an angry look<br />

on his face.<br />

‘What in God’s name do you want at this<br />

time of night,’ he says, in a loud and angry<br />

voice, matched by the expression on his face.<br />

‘I remember you Osborne, if you’re here for<br />

a job you’re wasting your time. You’re far too<br />

old and I’ve got all the men I need’.<br />

I decide to say something.<br />

‘Mr Butterfield kind sir. I’m Ruth Osborne.<br />

My husband’s not here for a job, we’re here to<br />

ask for you to help us by giving us some food,<br />

maybe some buttermilk. We’re starving and<br />

would appreciate anything you can give us.<br />

I can’t tell you how much we hate having to<br />

beg but we have no choice, we are desperate’.<br />

He looks at me as if I’ve just crawled out of<br />

something. He replies:<br />

‘I have no time for beggars, particularly<br />

strange people like you. Have you any idea<br />

what it’s like trying to make a living by farming<br />

these days? But I don’t go around asking<br />

others to help me. You can just b****** off and<br />

don’t come back or I’ll set my dogs on you.’<br />

My husband is well known for his temper and<br />

turns around to shout back at this awful man.<br />

But I put my hand on his arm and tell him<br />

that it is a waste of time and we should go.<br />

‘Just leave him alone’, I say to John. ‘People<br />

like him will rot in hell and damnation one<br />

day and they deserve it. A curse on him and<br />

his farm I say.’<br />

Butterfield shouts again to me.<br />

‘What did you say about me, you witch?’<br />

‘I wasn’t talking to you,’ I reply.<br />

LOCAL<br />

HISTORY<br />

John Butterfield’s Story; mid April 1751<br />

I just can’t cope any longer. I lost the last<br />

one of my calves today, some kind of disease<br />

that has been spreading into Wilstone and<br />

Puttenham these last few weeks and has<br />

somehow found its way into my herd. And<br />

I have lost two of my most reliable men<br />

because I had no money to pay them last<br />

week. So there is no one to see to my fields<br />

and care for my crops. I can’t work in the<br />

field myself because I’ve started getting these<br />

strange fits again.<br />

Everything’s suddenly going wrong these last<br />

few weeks and I don’t know why. The Chapmans<br />

- who own the next farm along the road and<br />

have no cattle disease, typical – tell me that<br />

my bad luck is connected to that strange<br />

couple, the Osbornes, who came begging a<br />

few weeks ago. I decide that the best way of<br />

coping with all this is my favourite remedy, a<br />

jug of ale. But I have no ale left and decide<br />

that I will go along to the Queens Head and<br />

drink some more, maybe share my grievances<br />

with some of the other farmers and labourers<br />

who gather there most evenings.<br />

I feel a need to tell<br />

everyone how unfair life<br />

has been to me. This<br />

starts a conversation in<br />

which everyone joins<br />

in. As the ale flows, the<br />

mood becomes more<br />

angry and my friends<br />

seem more and more<br />

determined to do<br />

something on my<br />

behalf.<br />

They tell me that<br />

the only certain<br />

remedy is to<br />

submit the witch and wizard to a ducking,<br />

in the presence of the neighbourhood.<br />

Apparently we first have to send a message to<br />

the Town Crier in Hemel Hempstead, asking<br />

him, for a fee of four pence, to read out a<br />

notice of the impending ducking. One farmer<br />

is so keen that he agrees to draft the message<br />

himself and send one of his labourers to<br />

Hemel the next morning. He even writes it<br />

out before we split up. It says:<br />

‘This is to give notice that on Monday next<br />

there is to be at Long Marston in the Parish of<br />

<strong>Tring</strong>, two ill disposed persons to be ducked<br />

by the neighbours consent.’<br />

What happened to<br />

Ruth? And why did<br />

a chimney sweep<br />

who attended the<br />

ducking get charged<br />

with murder? You<br />

can read the rest of<br />

the story and learn the<br />

fates of John Butterfield<br />

and John Osborne in the<br />

book, which is available<br />

from <strong>Tring</strong> Local History<br />

Museum, with proceeds<br />

TINY<br />

TRAVELLERS<br />

Holidays with children don’t have to be a drag –<br />

follow these tips to relieve the travel tedium<br />

Travelling with children can be a<br />

wonderful experience, but it can also<br />

be challenging. Fortunately, there<br />

are small steps you can take to make your<br />

vacation a memorable experience for the right<br />

reasons (not the meltdowns at the airport!).<br />

Plan ahead<br />

Before you travel, research your destination<br />

to find out what activities are available for<br />

kids, where you can access child-friendly<br />

restaurants, and what amenities are available<br />

for families. This will help you to plan your<br />

itinerary and ensure there is as little room as<br />

possible for boredom to creep in.<br />

Pack wisely<br />

When packing for a family trip, make sure to<br />

bring along all the essentials such as nappies,<br />

wipes, medicine and extra clothes. Pack<br />

snacks and drinks to keep your kids fuelled<br />

and hydrated during the journey.<br />

Games, books, tablets and toys are essential<br />

for long waits or flights.<br />

Choose kid-friendly accommodations<br />

When deciding where to stay, look for hotels<br />

or resorts that offer child-friendly areas such<br />

as kids’ clubs, pools, and playgrounds. This<br />

will help keep your youngsters entertained<br />

and allow you to relax too, knowing that they<br />

are safe and having fun.<br />

Involve your kids in the planning process<br />

Let your little ones in on the planning process<br />

by encouraging them to choose some of the<br />

activities or destinations you will visit. This<br />

will help them feel more invested in the trip<br />

and give them something to look forward to…<br />

not to mention acting as a helpful incentive<br />

for good behaviour!<br />

Be flexible<br />

Travelling can be unpredictable at the best<br />

of times, and doubly so when children are<br />

involved, so it’s important to be flexible and<br />

willing to change your plans if needed. Be<br />

prepared for delays, unexpected tantrums,<br />

and other challenges that may arise.<br />

Make safety a priority<br />

Every parent’s worst nightmare is losing<br />

contact with your children or them becoming<br />

ill in an unfamiliar place. Make sure your kids<br />

are always supervised and that you have a<br />

plan in case of an emergency. If travelling<br />

abroad, make sure to research any health or<br />

safety risks and take the necessary precautions.<br />

PARENTING<br />

Take breaks<br />

Travelling can be exhausting, especially<br />

for smaller children. Be sure to take breaks<br />

throughout the day to give your kids a chance<br />

to rest and recharge. This will help prevent<br />

meltdowns and ensure that everyone stays in<br />

good spirits.<br />

Bring buggies and scooters<br />

If your child is still young enough to use a<br />

buggy or is used to riding on a scooter,<br />

remembering to pack them can be a godsend.<br />

It will make navigating through crowded<br />

airports or busy tourist destinations much easier!<br />

Be tech savvy<br />

While it’s important to limit screen time,<br />

technology can be a lifesaver when travelling<br />

with kids. Bring along a tablet or other device<br />

loaded with age-appropriate games and<br />

videos to keep your kids entertained during<br />

long flights or car rides.<br />

Enjoy the ride<br />

Travelling with kids can be stressful, but it<br />

can also be a lot of fun. Remember to take<br />

time to enjoy the experience and make<br />

memories with your family. With a little<br />

planning and preparation, you can have a<br />

successful and enjoyable trip with your kids.<br />

“Once you enter the iron<br />

gates, you are transported<br />

to another world”<br />

SALAD<br />

DAYS<br />

Rocket<br />

Rocket has launched itself into the hearts<br />

of UK salad eaters, and it’s not hard to<br />

understand why.<br />

Peppery and vibrant, the leaf also known as<br />

arugula adds a lot of flavour to any dish and is<br />

quick to grow.<br />

Spring into summer by<br />

giving life to your own<br />

salad vegetables.<br />

Mizuna<br />

As we prepare to enter that golden<br />

summer season in our garden, you<br />

may well experience that tinge of<br />

disappointment when seeing some plants not<br />

flourish to their full potential, and there are<br />

always a cluster of seeds not sown that could<br />

now be full of life.<br />

That’s what makes salad plants so appealing<br />

– not only is their success rate high, but there<br />

may still be time to get them in the soil as<br />

they grow quickly and, of course, are ideal<br />

accompaniments to that classic summer<br />

escape – the barbecue!<br />

So as the weather warms up, consider<br />

planting these super salad plants to ensure<br />

that you have fresh and healthy ingredients<br />

on hand this year whenever you need them.<br />

Lettuce<br />

A salad staple, lettuce is also one of the<br />

easiest salad plants to grow, and it can be<br />

sown directly into the soil in the spring and<br />

summer months. There are many different<br />

types of lettuce to choose from, including<br />

crisphead, butterhead, and looseleaf.<br />

Radishes<br />

You may think radishes are rad; or you may<br />

think they taste very, very bad. Regardless,<br />

this crunchy and peppery root vegetable is<br />

easy to grow and can go from seed to serve in<br />

as little as four weeks.<br />

Spring onions<br />

When it comes to livening up dull dishes,<br />

the humble spring onion is a powerhouse of<br />

flavour and versatility.<br />

Spruce up stir-fries, make a delightful dip or<br />

even whizz up a delicious summertime soup.<br />

Spinach<br />

Spinach may be known for its super-strength<br />

giving properties, but the plant itself is rather<br />

sensitive, requiring six weeks of cool weather<br />

from seeding to harvest.<br />

Mizuna<br />

Spice up your life with Mizuna, a Japanese<br />

salad green that has a slightly fiery and<br />

peppery taste.<br />

Chard<br />

A stunningly beautiful and vibrant plant that<br />

loves the sun and takes up very little space,<br />

chard’s glorious<br />

colouring<br />

will also<br />

complement<br />

the late summer<br />

blooms in your<br />

Chard<br />

flowerbeds.<br />

Mindful Movement<br />

Try something different - discover<br />

‘Awareness Through Movement’ with<br />

the Feldenkrais Method<br />

The Feldenkrais Method has the potential to<br />

benefit us all in some way.<br />

We discover possibilities for easier movement<br />

and learn to make lasting changes in posture,<br />

co-ordination, breathing and flexibility.<br />

We learn to take care of ourselves more<br />

effectively, through increased self-awareness.<br />

Day-to-day aches and pains are alleviated<br />

and prevented. Limitations caused by illness,<br />

injury or disability are reduced.<br />

We take time to relax and regenerate,<br />

calming the mind through focussed attention<br />

on gentle movement sequences.<br />

Claire has been attending classes for several<br />

years. She says:<br />

“I keep discovering different ways to move more<br />

easily…a range and pleasure in movement I<br />

remember having when I was younger.<br />

The weekly lessons have added a richness to my<br />

life. Feldenkrais has helped me relax in my body,<br />

learn how flexible and versatile I can be and - most<br />

wonderfully and quite simply - it has helped me feel<br />

connected with myself.<br />

It’s my weekly reboot - a rebalancing for body<br />

and mind.”<br />

Andy says: “The weekly session is an oasis of calm<br />

and relaxation coupled with gaining an awareness<br />

of movement, coordination and how everything<br />

links up. A big recommend.”<br />

Jo Horder has been a Feldenkrais Guild<br />

accredited practitioner since 2013, offering<br />

group classes and individual lessons. Both<br />

forms are suitable for people of all ages,<br />

whatever your fitness or state of health.<br />

The gentle movement sequences can be<br />

adapted to suit your needs and explored<br />

at your own pace.<br />

Awareness Through<br />

Movement (ATM) is the<br />

name given to group<br />

classes in the Feldenkrais<br />

Method. We explore the<br />

‘mind-body connection’<br />

through very gentle<br />

movement sequences<br />

designed to promote a<br />

sense of well-being,<br />

whatever your level of<br />

fi tness and state of health.<br />

People often say they feel<br />

taller, more spacious, more<br />

‘whole’; pain and stiffness<br />

are reduced and<br />

movement is easier.

The Empire Theatre Murders<br />

By Jack Murray<br />

If you love a murder mystery, the theatre and period dramas - this is the book for you.<br />

Set in the 1920s, it features Kit and Mary Aston who are asked to investigate threatening letters that<br />

have been sent to the performers in a seaside variety theatre, and temperamental magician, Javier<br />

Gonzalo, has lost his head, quite literally, mid act. Can Kit and Mary identify the murderer in time?<br />

The author creates a wonderful eerie atmosphere within the pages, and the themes of revenge,<br />

illusion, mystery and magic just add to its compelling nature.<br />

Jack Murray was born in Northern Ireland but now lives in Berkhamsted.<br />

The World Outside My Window<br />

By Clare Swatman<br />

Laura is unable to leave her house, and instead is reduced to looking out the window and relying on<br />

her husband Jim and best friend Debbie to help her. But one day Jim doesn’t come home.<br />

And when he has still not returned after a week, Laura has no choice - she has to leave the house<br />

and find her husband.<br />

But she’s not alone, her local community rally round her - and when they discover that Jim might have<br />

been hiding some secrets, Laura has a choice – retreat back behind her window, or start living her life.<br />

Another emotional, page-turner from our former <strong>Living</strong> Magazines’ editor!<br />

Clare has written seven women’s fiction novels, and lives in Berkhamsted.<br />

<strong>Tring</strong> Rural Village in the Twentieth Century<br />

By Jenny and Alan Warner<br />

Jenny and Alan Warner interviewed 13 long-term residents of <strong>Tring</strong> Rural Villages, as part of their<br />

voluntary work for the website <strong>Tring</strong>ruralhistory.co.uk.<br />

Within its pages you can discover what life was like in Long Marston, Puttenham and Wilstone<br />

during the Second World War and proceeding years. From bombs dropping on a village school, and<br />

the secret life of the airfield at Long Marston, to legendary parties in the village hall and Father<br />

Christmas appearing on a horse and cart on Christmas morning.<br />

It’s wonderful to read these memories from longstanding residents, and to know they have been<br />

preserved for future generations.<br />

The book is available to buy from <strong>Tring</strong> Local History Museum.<br />

Outwitting the Enemy<br />

By Mike Walsham<br />

A couple of years ago, we featured Mike’s book Doing One’s Duty - a thrilling tale about the British<br />

Intelligence Service.<br />

The main character, Andrew, is back in Mike’s latest book. In this tale, he is sent to spy on the<br />

building of the submarine pens for a possible raid by the RAF later in the year, then parachuted into<br />

northern France on another mission.<br />

Mike Walsham is an author who lives in Ringshall, Little Gaddesden. He published his first novel,<br />

Monique, in 2020.<br />

THE<br />

GREEN 13<br />

Want to play your part in helping the environment this<br />

summer but unsure where to start? Here are 13 easy routes<br />

to green greatness…<br />

Reusable water bottle<br />

Hydration is vital in the summer<br />

months, but do it whilst ensuring you<br />

have a reusable water bottle that<br />

breaks the habit of constantly buying<br />

plastic disposables in shops.<br />

Eat local<br />

If you can source local producers from<br />

which to buy your food, the positive<br />

effect on the environment is huge. Not<br />

only will what you eat have real<br />

provenance, it will also be fresher<br />

having travelled a shorter distance to<br />

the plate.<br />

Collect rainwater<br />

It seems in the UK even the smallest<br />

stint of warm weather is followed by<br />

the threat of a hosepipe ban.<br />

So instead of draining the mains water<br />

supply, collect rainwater and store<br />

in barrels - it can then be used when<br />

needed to water your plants<br />

and garden.<br />

Composting<br />

Composting is a sure-fire way to<br />

reduce waste, whilst reinvesting in<br />

matter that will complete the circle in<br />

helping your garden grow.<br />

Use natural energy<br />

Using a fan instead of putting on<br />

the air conditioning will save on<br />

electricity; and why not return to<br />

the traditional outdoor clothesdrying<br />

methods rather than using<br />

appliances indoors.<br />

GREEN<br />

Use less water<br />

Consider cutting back on water usage,<br />

if possible. Shower instead of bath –<br />

installing a water-saving showerhead<br />

– use bathing water from pets on<br />

plants, and definitely turn off water<br />

whilst shaving or brushing teeth.<br />

Pick up a picnic<br />

You can be as green as the park you’re<br />

sitting in if everything you use can be<br />

recycled – think paper plates, napkins,<br />

straws and reusable cups.<br />

“<br />

Planting wildflower seeds in the<br />

spring will see them appear the<br />

same year, encouraging bees<br />

and insects and improving your<br />

environmental ecosystem<br />

“<br />

Great grass management<br />

If you have a petrol-driven<br />

lawnmower, change to electric and<br />

reduce the emissions you’re putting<br />

out in your green space. If that’s not<br />

possible, let the grass grow a bit longer<br />

– that’s good for garden dwellers as<br />

well as the environment.<br />

Change your car<br />

The big drive is to adopt electric<br />

vehicles, but even switching to a<br />

smaller car, or removing from your<br />

vehicle items you don’t need that<br />

THE HISTORY OF THE<br />

WOMEN’S<br />

WORLD CUP<br />

As we approach the ninth<br />

edition of the official Women’s<br />

World Cup, we chart the rapid<br />

evolution of one of football’s<br />

most loved competitions.<br />

The first official Women’s World Cup<br />

took place in China, in 1991, with the<br />

United States beating Norway 2-1 in the<br />

Guangzhou final. It’s apt that the Americans<br />

won the first competition, as they have<br />

dominated the women’s game since.<br />

However, the Norwegian side would take<br />

the plaudits in Sweden in the second edition.<br />

Their hugely talented squad of players beat<br />

Germany 2-0 at the Råsunda Stadium in<br />

Stockholm, with goals from Hege Riise and<br />

Marianne Pettersen, as the Lionesses debut<br />

ended at the quarter-final stage.<br />

The ‘Stars and Stripes’ would regain the title<br />

on home soil in 1999 against China, as Brandi<br />

Chastain netted the winning penalty in the<br />

5-4 shootout victory for the United States.<br />

That World Cup was built on the success of<br />

the first Olympic women’s football tournament<br />

held during the 1996 Atlanta Games, with the<br />

1999 World Cup played in front of an average<br />

of 37,000 spectators per match.<br />

The event in 2003 was also held in the US,<br />

who stepped in after planned hosts China had<br />

to relinquish duties after an outbreak of SARS.<br />

Yet there was to be no back-to-back success<br />

for the Yanks, as they crashed out in the semifinal<br />

to a Germany side who went on to defeat<br />

Sweden for their first title.<br />

China belatedly hosted the tournament four<br />

years later, and Germany were able to defend<br />

their 2003 title with a 2-0 victory over Brazil<br />

in the Hongkou Stadium. England were<br />

knocked out by the USA in the quarterfinals.<br />

A new name would be on the trophy in 2011<br />

as Japan took this instalment by storm,<br />

beating the hosts and hat-trick-seeking<br />

Germans in the quarters, the Swedes in the<br />

last four, before coming from behind to see<br />

off the mighty Americans on penalties in<br />

the final.<br />

Canada 2015 saw an increase to 24 teams<br />

from 16, and offered revenge for the USA as<br />

they beat Japan 5-2 in the Vancouver final.<br />

The tournament was controversial<br />

for being played on artificial turf in<br />

sweltering conditions.<br />

France 2019 attracted a global television<br />

audience of over 1.1 billion, with the<br />

United States winning again, this time<br />

2-0 against Sarina Wiegman’s European<br />

champions, Netherlands.<br />

With England having trodden that same<br />

familiar path under the talented Dutch coach<br />

by securing their first international title win<br />

in the form of the 2022 Euros victory against<br />

Germany, could they add a World Cup final to<br />

their resume in Australia and New Zealand?<br />

‘Stay baggy’ tapered jeans<br />

Tapered baggy denim is back. After the likes<br />

of Pete Davidson and Justin Bieber pushed the<br />

look hard in 2022, the industry has responded by<br />

rolling out a delectable depth of dynamic denim<br />

that will drive that classic stonewashed<br />

look this year.<br />

LET’S HEAR IT FOR<br />

THE BOYS<br />

Men’s attire may not hit the heady or<br />

extroverted heights associated with<br />

women’s fashion, but there’s plenty<br />

to be excited about this summer<br />

for the man who has a fashion plan.<br />

Here are some must-have items<br />

that could be making a path to a<br />

wardrobe near you.<br />

Light jackets<br />

The return of what some might consider an<br />

Eighties throwback akin to shell suits and<br />

outrageously colourful ski wear has been<br />

provoked by the appearance of a Quiksilver<br />

jacket in the town of Hawkins, in hit Netflix<br />

drama Stranger Things.<br />

The item was crafted as part of a collaboration<br />

with the costume department of the hit show,<br />

reminding us of arcades, skateboards and retro<br />

summer vibes from a simpler era.<br />

Surf and ski aviators<br />

The classic Top Gun aviators have undergone<br />

something of a redesign in recent years, with<br />

surf and ski versions moving this iconic classic<br />

from the high-octane fast lane and onto the<br />

rather more salubrious climes of Val Thorens<br />

and Courchevel.<br />

Baggy jeans not only look good as streetwear,<br />

skate wear and as voluminous vintage, they’re<br />

ultra-comfortable too!<br />

Plain shorts<br />

Whereas in previous years the shorts vibe has<br />

varied from sport to camouflage, summer <strong>2023</strong><br />

will see a return to simple cotton, straight cuts<br />

and uncomplicated designs.<br />

Functionality is being taken to be as important<br />

as flair, so expect durability, simple shades,<br />

pocket space aplenty and, of course, a cool and<br />

comfortable feel.<br />

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66<br />

We’ve all been invited to a party that brands<br />

itself under the ‘smart/casual’ tag, and it often<br />

feels like the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 was<br />

designed for every gathering.<br />

There is no better nor more iconic fashion<br />

trainer than the Tiger – with a variety of colours<br />

ensuring an appropriate match with any dress<br />

code, any time, any place.<br />

Lightweight shirts<br />

This summer will see the return of the roomy,<br />

flowing shirt. Whites, greys and sky blues will<br />

dominate the high streets, putting to one side<br />

those dark, dusky tones and styles that seem to<br />

have patterned our social outings for the past<br />

couple of years.<br />

The fact lightweight fabrics will rule the roost<br />

must imply we’re in for a summer of high<br />

temperatures and radiant sunshine. Perhaps the<br />

fashion fraternity know something we don’t!<br />

RECIPE<br />

Method:<br />

Step one<br />

Put the flour, butter, icing sugar and salt in a<br />

food processor and blitz into crumbs.<br />

Combine the yolk with 1tbsp cold water, then<br />

add to the processor and pulse until the<br />

dough comes together. Divide the dough into<br />

two, wrap in clingfilm and chill in the fridge<br />

for at least one hour or, better still, overnight.<br />

Step two<br />

Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas mark 5. Roll<br />

out one half of the pastry, then butter an 8in<br />

pie dish and press in the pastry topped with a<br />

sheet of baking paper and baking beans. Bake<br />

blind for 30 mins. Remove the paper and<br />

beans. Mix the berries, sugar and pour the<br />

mixture into your baked pie base.<br />

Step three<br />

Roll out the second batch of pastry and top<br />

the pie with it, trimming to fit, and using a<br />

fork to seal the edge. Use a sharp knife to<br />

create a few slits for steam to escape before<br />

brushing with the whisked egg white before<br />

topping with sugar. Bake for 30-35 minutes<br />

until crust is golden. Leave to cool as filling<br />

will be extremely hot!<br />

SUMMER<br />

FRUITS PIE<br />

Make the most of summer<br />

berries with this delectable<br />

pie… perfect with a dollop<br />

of fresh cream!<br />

Ingredients<br />

For the pastry:<br />

• 225g cold unsalted butter<br />

chopped into small pieces<br />

• 350g plain flour<br />

• 50g icing sugar<br />

• Pinch of salt<br />

• 1 large egg yolk<br />

For the filling:<br />

• 800g of berries such as<br />

strawberries, raspberries,<br />

blackberries, cherries or<br />

blueberries<br />

• 100g sugar<br />

• 2tbsp of cornflour<br />

• ½ tsp cinnamon<br />

• 1 egg white (for glazing)<br />

• 1tbsp sugar (for sprinkling)<br />

Top tips:<br />

• If you’re time-starved, feel free to use<br />

pre-made shortcrust pastry which is<br />

generally as good as homemade, and<br />

certainly easier!<br />

• Frozen berries will work in a pinch -<br />

just defrost them for half an hour<br />

before baking.<br />

• If you don’t have baking beans use<br />

cooking weights, dried lentils or rice.<br />

• If you don’t have access to a food<br />

processor simply rub the butter and<br />

flour together until it is the texture<br />

of breadcrumbs.<br />
