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 />

the windows towards the<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 />
<strong>Tring</strong> Farmers Market is back on the High<br />

Church Square and Mansion Vista.<br />
so much from the<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 />
01923 330 330.<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 />

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 />

The <strong>Living</strong> Magazines team visited <strong>Tring</strong>’s Park Hill Farm recently<br />
to try out the experience for ourselves.<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 />
going to charity.<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 />

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 />
add weight and use up fuel, can<br />
have a really positive effect on the<br />

Grow wildflowers<br />
Planting wildflower seeds in the<br />

Check your home for draughts<br />
While you’ll truly feel the benefit<br />
of draught exclusion in the winter<br />

from ensuring heat isn’t escaping<br />
from gaps in your home.<br />
Help clean beaches<br />
Finally, whether your local area is<br />
a park, a beach, a field or a rocky<br />
outcrop, a quick sweep for rubbish<br />
once a week – perhaps as part of a<br />

only make things visually pleasing,<br />
but will help the flora and fauna who<br />
reside there.<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 />
