Castle Trust
café and shop, exhibitions, historical
A re-enactments and a full programme of
events would encourage local residents to visit
Berkhamsted Castle more often, according
to the results of a public consultation held by
Berkhamsted Castle Trust in early summer.
The report on Reconnecting Berkhamsted
Castle, prepared for the Trust by Land Use
Consultants, suggests possible future improvements,
including better interpretation materials,
physical connections from the castle and
improvements to existing public rights of way.
There is also support for improving the arrival
experience from the town and train station.
Over half of respondents did not know about
Berkhamsted deer park or the historic and
cultural significance of the landscape, and
there was strong support for the idea of better
connecting the castle with the former deer park
to celebrate its rich historic and cultural heritage.
While 40% of respondents supported dedicated
parking for castle visitors, and 52% said they would
visit more often if there were public toilets, there
was also some support for events and volunteering.
When it comes to future
improvements of the
surrounding landscape,
respondents would like to see
dedicated walking routes,
signage and interpretation, as
well as improvements to
biodiversity, engagement with
schools, new areas of public
open space and artistic
installations. Specific
improvements suggested
include more information at
the castle site, better connections
to the surroundings, and
improved access for pedestrians.
Adrian Barham, chairman of the Berkhamsted
Castle Trust, added: ‘We have shared the full
report with English Heritage and Historic
England, and await a date for a meeting to
discuss this further with them. We have also
provided copies to Dacorum Borough Council,
who part-funded the report through the UK
Shared Prosperity Fund, and to Berkhamsted
Town Council, who we hope will take this
into account when developing the town’s new
Neighbourhood Plan.’
Get involved…
The Chiltern Society, which ‘gives a voice
to everyone who conserves, campaigns
for and promotes the Chilterns’, is looking
for volunteers.
Members of the public who would like to
be part of preserving this beautiful area, are
sought for the organisation’s planning group.

Cyclists celebrate club
anniversary
Berkhamsted Cycling Club (BCC), is
celebrating its 10th anniversary.
The club organises weekly group rides of
varying speeds, and its annual ‘reliability ride’
has raised more than £3,800 for local charities.
Two members, Michael Gower and Graham
Earl, broke the Guinness World Record for
fastest pedal-powered crossing of the English
Channel. And Anna Henderson, a silver medallist
at the Paris Olympics, was the winner in one of
her early competitions on a BCC hill climb.
Club chair Mary Holden said: ‘While we are
proud of our members who have achieved huge
feats and attained incredible levels of fitness
and speed on the bike, I’m just as proud of the
support and social environment we’ve provided
to members who are every bit as interested in
riding an easy loop while having a chat with
friends. The brilliant thing about cycling is
how there is something for almost everyone,
whatever your ability.’ berkocc.com

Dentists make Swan
Youth Project smile!
Young people getting creative at The Swan Youth Project
Kings Road Dental Practice has donated £1,100
from its recent Smile Open Day Weekend to
Berkhamsted charity, The Swan Youth Project.
Patients visited a dedicated ‘smile suite’ at the
Berkhamsted practice, to see simulations of their
dream smiles using advanced technology.
‘A big thank you to everyone who attended and
started their personal journey towards achieving
the perfect smile, while also helping to raise
money for this great local charity,’ said practice
partner, Dr Rishi Shah.
Swan Youth Club Project Manager, Parul Dix,
said: ‘Fundraising is tough right now, so we are
more reliant than ever before on partnerships
with local businesses. We are so grateful to
Kings Road Dental Practice and their patients
for their very generous support. It will help us
to continue to give our young people a safe, fun
and friendly place to go after school, where there
is always someone to listen and they can try out
new activities, cook food – or just chill and hang
out with friends.’
The Swan Youth Club is open term time after
school from 3.30-6pm for anyone from Year 6
upwards, located on Berkhamsted High Street

Libraries bag funding for centenary celebrations
An Arts Council grant of nearly £100,000 will
go towards a year-long celebration of
Hertfordshire Libraries, which turns 100 on 28
February 2025.
The celebration will begin with the launch of
an exhibition of the library service showcasing
how it has developed over the past 100 years, and
starting in March, there are plans for a ‘festival
of creativity and reading’ to kick off across the
county’s libraries.
A council spokesperson told Berkhamsted
Living: ‘We are still going through feedback
from our survey on what people want to see
during our centenary year and of course
have our own celebration plans and ideas.
Berkhamsted library will certainly feature in our
plans, as will all our other libraries up and down
the county.

Park - along with creating more than
60 residential apartments.
Sorbon Estates, which says it specialises in
‘revitalising underused urban areas, turning
them into vibrant, sustainable communities’
has already held a public consultation on
its plans, which would see it revitalise the
buildings (from Boots down to Waterstones)
‘with a high-quality design that honours
Berkhamsted’s heritage’.

new leisure space for the community as well as
the apartments.
The proposal would also create ‘an inviting
public courtyard’ fronting the car park, along
with a mixed-use building with retail space and
new greenery to boost biodiversity.
New landscaped public squares of differing
character are proposed to connect Water Lane
car park to the High Street, improving the
pedestrian routes and experience.

consultation were yet to be released and no
formal planning application had been submitted

Homes planned for Chesham Road
H
dni omes builder Taylor Wimpey has
earmarked land at Chesham Road, South
Berkhamsted for a huge development of up to
850 homes.
Public consultation has already taken place on
the proposals, which will include 40% affordable
homes as well as homes reserved for the elderly.
The site, the developer says, will also feature
a local centre/community hub which could
include small scale retail, community, primary
health care (with potential for a GP and/or dental
surgery), and/or flexible co-working space.
It also has allocated land for a primary school
with a nursery, landscaping, open space and
outdoor sports provision, along with children’s
play areas, natural and semi-natural spaces, and
amenity space including parks and gardens,
and allotments.
A network of pedestrian and cycle routes
(on-site and off-site) are proposed to improve
connectivity to the town centre as well as to
the open countryside and SANG (Suitable
Alternative Natural Green Space) beyond the A41
to the south.
A new bus loop would serve the site itself
as well as the wider town (to include local
schools, employment sites, the town centre
and railway station).

Rotary impresses magazine publisher
Berkhamsted
Living publisher
Alison Page was
asked to speak at the
Berkhamsted Rotary
in October, and was so
impressed with their
friendship, fellowship,
commitment, and dedication that she just
wanted to pen a few words:
The Berkhamsted Rotary meet weekly in
addition to committee meetings, social events
and of course their fundraising activities.
They also support the community from kids
to seniors, and a raft of other charities, such as
the Open Door, Hospice of St Francis, Pepper
Foundation, and Swan Youth Project. Their local
and international reach and involvement is
quite breathtaking.
We’re probably all aware that the Rotary
organises Santa’s Sleigh (see page 8), the
fireworks evening, which took place on Saturday
2 November, and the half marathon, planned
for Sunday 2 March 2025, but did you know
it also works with local schools and youth
organisations to deliver a series of events to
help boost the confidence and skills of young
people? The Technology Tournament is key to
this, taking place in March each year, but other
activities include Young Chef, Dacorum Young
Artist and a Musical Instrument Library, to name
just a few.
So the next time you enjoy a Rotary event,
please give some thought – and huge respect
– to the men and women behind such an
undertaking. These things don’t come together
by chance.
If you would like to find out more about the
fellowship of the Berko Rotary, please contact
Peter Brown (greenwoodbrown@hotmail.com)
or of course visit the website: berkorotary.org
At the end of the presentation, one of
the members asked ‘What next for Living
Magazines?’ Perhaps I should have turned the
question around, what would you like to see next
from Berkhamsted Living Magazine? You can
let us know your thoughts at
info@livingmags.info
Please spare five
minutes for charity
As you will have read
in the press, many
charities are having a
tough time raising
sufficient funds to cover
rising costs, with regular
or significant donations
becoming less and less frequent. Every day we
are reading about charities forced to close due to
lack of funding.
To help our local charities better understand
what their local communities think of them and
the services they provide, they are reaching out
to you, our community, to ask only for the gift of
time, and only about five minutes of it. They
really need it and would greatly appreciate it.
A local research company, Message House, is
conducting a short survey to find out what
people like you think about the charities in your
area. By sharing your thoughts, you’ll help these
organisations better connect with their
community and improve the way they operate.
Can you please support them by giving a few
minutes of your time by taking the survey now,
either via the link below or by scanning the QR
code. It really will make a huge difference and
help sustain their future.
As a thank you, by completing the survey,
you’ll be entered into a draw to win one of
five £20 M&S vouchers!

Foundling Hospital
archive goes online
Almost
100,000
pages of
records from
the Foundling
Hospital,
England’s first
home for babies who were unable to be cared
for by their parents, have been made available
online for the first time. The Foundling Hospital
School moved from London to Berkhamsted
in 1935.
The digital archive, launched by the UK’s first
children’s charity Coram, which was established
as the Foundling Hospital in London in 1739,
brings to life the previously untold stories
of over 20,000 children who grew up at the
Hospital, and of their birth mothers.
Today’s digital archive launch is the
culmination of Coram’s five-year programme,
Voices Through Time: The Story of Care,
made possible by The National Lottery
Heritage Fund. Coram has digitised 405
volumes in the archive, almost a quarter of the
entire collection, spanning 1739 to 1899. Nearly
6,500 volunteers from around the world helped
to transcribe the digital pages.

Berkhamsted’s
big screens
As the Rex cinema celebrates
its 25th anniversary, we look
back over more than 100
years of its predecessors
in the town
Berkhamsted has a long association with
the world of the big screen, thanks to
the location of the BFI (British Film
Institute) National Archive, and with our own
Rex cinema celebrating the 25th anniversary
of its reincarnation, it seems the perfect time
to take a look at the town’s cinematic links.
Before 1911, the townsfolk of Berkhamsted
had been treated to the occasional film
showing at the Town Hall, or the travelling
show that was Taylor’s Royal electric
Coliseum de Luxe.
The travelling show had, according to all
accounts, been ‘fitted up in the most elaborate
style that money and artistry study can produce’.
The town’s first permanent erection
designed for showing moving pictures
sounds as if it was not quite so grand! The
Gem Picture Palace was a corrugated iron hut
sitting between the Wesleyan Methodist
Church and the Sayers almshouses on Cowper
Road. Two houses now occupy the site.
A 10ft screen received images from a single,
rather noisy projector to an audience of up
to 168 people. Apparently, it was cursed with
breakdowns, and the manager was often
forced to return the ticket price when the
projector jammed. The valiant Kitty Wilkins
was the pianist who helped to drown out the
sound of the projector.
The Gem did undergo a bit of an upgrade,
but thanks to the introduction of the Picture
Playhouse its days were numbered. The
Picture Playhouse was launched in 1912 in
Prince Edward Street in the converted stables
at the King’s Arms Hotel - a cinema for 340
people in raked seating, watching a screen
measuring 12 by 9ft.
It upgraded the pianist to an additional
violinist as well as live acts on occasion,
but was a victim of its own success and the
Court was subsequently built in 1917, to house
a larger audience. The Picture Playhouse
eventually had an upgrade of its own as
the King’s Hall, until the 1980s. It was later
demolished and replaced with the existing
Fells House office block.
The Court was built on the site of an old
brewery in the High Street on the corner of
Water Lane. Named after the Inns of Court
Training Corps, which made its home in the
town in World War I, this was a far grander
affair - with Italian paintings on the walls and
seats for an audience of more than 700!

LOCAL
HISTORY
With the aim to entertain soldiers stationed
in the town, the regimental band played on
opening night and an all-female band was
hired to accompany the silent movies. One
wonders what the soldiers thought of the film
The Growth of Plants, which formed part of
the first-night’s programmes!
The Court was extended and transformed
once more in 1934, with space for 1,000
filmgoers, and the addition of a Christie organ.
However, the Court too was superceded by
the new Rex, and instead became a theatre,
hosting performances by the Berkhamsted
Amateur Operatic And Dramatic Society (now
Berkhamsted Theatre Company), and then the
Berkhamsted Repertory Company.
Probably thanks to the war, the Court
reverted back to showing films in 1940 -
although the Rex continued to show the ‘big’
titles. In 1960 it was sold and converted into
a Tesco store. The building was demolished
after a fire and the existing Tesco store built.
The Rex, designed in Art Deco style by the
architect David E Nye, opened in 1938,
with Heidi, starring Shirley Temple as its
first screening.
It was an impressive sight, with its double
height foyer, art deco pendant chandelier
and a round wood and glass ticket booth
with chrome trim - quite a step up from that
corrugated iron hut 27 years earlier!
It opened on Sundays from 1939 (the Court
never opened on Sundays), but by the 1970s it
had become too large for purpose, films were
4
shown four days a
week (when it was
called Studio 1) and
from Thursday to
5
Saturday it took on
a new persona as a
bingo hall.
In 1976 it was
renovated at a cost of £90,000, with the stalls
handed over for bingo and the circle divided
into two screens.
The lease expired in 1988, and the cinema
closed with final screenings of The Witches of
Eastwick and Teen Wolf Two, but not before
the Cinema Theatre Association made efforts
to get it listed by English Heritage as a Grade
II listed building.
Various attempts to demolish or develop
the Rex were made over the years - including
one proposal featuring a swimming pool in
the auditorium. Eventually, permission was
granted for what became the Rex Apartments
to be developed, while the foyer was leased to
a Fish! restaurant - now it’s The Gatsby.
And in 2002, James Hannaway leased the
auditorium, which opened in 2004 following
a huge renovation project and has become the
successful independent cinema we know today.

INTERVIEW
A GOOD
WOMAN
After six decades as a prominent
primatologist, Dr Jane Goodall
stands as one of our most
prominent campaigners for the
animal world and our natural
habitats, and even at 90, she’s
not done yet
The times have changed somewhat since
Jane Goodall’s childhood, spent around
the leafy loveliness of London’s
Hampstead. ‘From a young age, I harboured a
dream that many found unrealistic – I
envisioned myself growing up, travelling to
Africa, living among wild animals and
authoring books about them,’ she begins. ‘In
those times, it was rare for women to pursue
careers in science, so my ambitions were
often met with laughter.’
Two crucial allies in Goodall’s journey were
traditional mother Margaret, and
businessman father Mortimer, who both
encouraged her to explore the natural world.
In 1957, Goodall met Dr. Louis Leakey, a
prominent British paleoanthropologist and
archaeologist, and three years later the pair
started a ground-breaking study at Gombe
Stream National Park in Tanzania. There,
working with minimal resources, she quickly
established a research station and began her
observations of wild chimpanzees.
Over the decades since, her pioneering work
has revolutionised our understanding of
primate behaviour and human evolution,
often to the chagrin of some of her male
peers in the field. ‘It just wasn’t accepted
that a woman would be such a leader…
such a driving force behind research,’ she
explains. ‘I am so glad we are at a different
point of understanding and tolerance now,
where there is the same respect and
allowance for anyone of any background to
push forward with what inspires them.
‘Back then emotions would span derision
through to anger, but I kept on – I knew I had to.’
One of the ethologist’s most significant
discoveries was observing chimpanzees using
tools in the wild, as well as gaining deep
insight into the social structures in
chimpanzee communities, including
dominance hierarchies. ‘The more I learned,
the more I realised how like us they were;
and the more I came to see chimpanzees as
beings with their own personalities, minds,
and emotions.’
In the years since, the scientist’s conservation
efforts have expanded exponentially,
founding the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) in
1977, which operates a variety of programs
focused on wildlife conservation, education,
habitat restoration, anti-poaching and
sustainability.
‘I look back over it all now and believe I was
placed on this planet with a specific purpose.
Now I’m searching for those who will take the
work on, and I must admit I am constantly in
awe of the enthusiasm and empowerment I
witness in the young people I meet.
‘Their energy in return provides in me a
reassurance that booms loud, and says “we
will be okay”… and that is incredible.’

Saturday
is a nationwide
campaign to support,
inspire and promote
the UK’s 5.8 million small businesses. The
aim is to encourage consumers to ‘shop
local’ and support small businesses in

campaign aims to have a lasting impact on
small businesses.
Now in its 12th year in the UK, the campaign
has grown significantly year on year
encouraging millions to shop small.
You’ll already be familiar with our ‘Shop
Local’ feature on page 16, which appears in
every issue and is free for local retailers to
participate, but in this feature we’d like to
remind you about supporting your local
services and B2B as well.
Whether you shop in person, online or use a

soon, she knows that getting on that plane changes everything. Her life in London has
grown stale, her relationship with boyfriend Dom has run its course, and New York has
always been her dream. What if Bea could live both lives? In one she goes back home for
Christmas, and in another she heads to the Big Apple. Would her fate remain the same,
or can one decision really change everything?
Successful author Clare lives in Berkhamsted with her husband and two boys.
The Daily News - there is nothing hidden that will not
be revealed - Alistair McIver
This political conspiracy thriller is a work of fiction, but based on true experiences of
the author, who witnessed corruption and abuse against women in Central Asia during
his overseas mission, working for Christian charity Interserve.
It’s a compelling read, but not necessarily an easy one, but while it focuses on
corruption it also tells of redemption and introduces the reader to a little known area of the world,
where ancient practices still affect the lives of many women.
Alistair lives in Berkhamsted with his wife Sally, and they have two daughters. He has been widely
published in both tennis and Christian publications over a career spanning three decades.
A Wolf-Cat Called Alpha - Pam G Howard
Two years ago exactly, we featured Pam’s book, A Dragon Called Shining Leaves. Here
she brings the second part of this children’s fantasy series, and it’s as charming and
thrilling as the first.
Danger is coming as the evil wizard Malvic is on the rise once more.
We meet Autumn again, who learns that a village has been attacked - and
accompanied by Alpha, the wolf-cat, and her friend Yulia, she sets off to help.
Meanwhile, we catch up again with Tan, Otto and Alton who are on a mission to search out some
magic that could defeat Malvic. But they can’t find Shining Leaves - is the dragon in danger, and can
they save him?
Full of adventure and magic, an imaginative read for young readers aged eight and over.
Pam lives in Little Gaddesden and loves ‘dragon hunting’ in Ashridge forest with her dog.

Co-parenting during the Christmas season can be a challenging
experience, yet with good communication, planning and focusing on
the children, it’s possible to make it work for everyone
Prioritise the children’s needs
Christmas should be a magical time for
children, regardless of their parents’
relationship status. Try to remove any
personal conflicts from the equation and
focus on what will make your children feel
loved and supported.
Plan early and be clear
Start discussions well in advance, allowing
plenty of time to negotiate and make
decisions that you’re both comfortable
with. Being clear and open about what
you both want can prevent last-minute
confusion and tension. Whether you’re
dividing the holiday or spending it
together, ensure everyone knows the plan
well in advance.
Be flexible and willing to compromise
While it’s natural to have strong feelings
about how you want Christmas to be, the
more flexible you make the season, the less
stressful for everyone involved.
Keep communication respectful
Finally, maintaining civil and clear
communication is vital. Avoid arguments or
confrontation in front of children and try
to keep the focus on what’s best for them. If
emotions run high, consider using neutral
language and, if necessary, take a moment to
calm down before discussing arrangements.
Create new traditions
It could be something as simple as
decorating the tree, baking festive treats or
opening gifts in a unique way. These will
also help children adjust and embrace the
idea of having two Christmas celebrations,
giving them something to look forward to.

NEW YEAR,

NEW
GARDEN
Want to be in the know with the gardening trends for 2025?
Look no further
Gardening is evolving to meet modern
needs and aesthetics. In 2025, expect
a fusion of sustainability, practicality
and creativity in garden design. Here are six
key trends to watch out for.
1. Sustainable gardening practices
With growing climate change concerns
and resource depletion, gardeners will
increasingly adopt eco-friendly practices
such as rainwater harvesting, composting
and using organic fertilisers. Wildlifefriendly
gardening, including planting
native species and creating habitats for
pollinators, will also be a priority.
2. Carnivorous plants
With unique appeal and practical benefits,
these fascinating varieties – think Venus
flytraps and pitcher plants – naturally
control insect populations, reducing the
need for chemical pesticides. Striking
appearance and unusual behaviour make
them captivating additions.
They can be made from a variety of
materials, such as stone, wood, or metal
and are perfect for framing views or
creating a sense of passage between
different garden areas. And they’re set to be
popular in 2025!
4. Resilient gardens
As weather patterns become more
unpredictable, resilience will be a key
theme in garden design with a focus on
creations that can withstand extreme
weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall,
strong winds and prolonged droughts.
This includes hardy, drought-tolerant
plants, improvements in soil health, the
incorporation of features like windbreaks,
and permeable surfaces to manage
water effectively.
3. Moon gates
Inspired by traditional Chinese architecture,
moon gates are elegant structures that add
a touch of mystique and tranquillity to
gardens, creating a sense of enclosure and
guiding visitors towards a focal point.

Winter 2024 / 35
GARDENS
5. Edibles in hanging baskets
The trend of growing edibles in small
spaces will continue to flourish, with
hanging baskets playing a central role for
herbs, strawberries, tomatoes and other
compact crops.
Not only does this maximise space –
making it ideal for urban gardens and balconies
– it also means produce is easy to access.
BOOKS
Continued from page 31…
6. Minimalist garden design
Characterised by clean lines, uncluttered
spaces and a focus on quality over quantity,
minimalist gardens offer a calming retreat
from busy lives.
The trick is to emphasise a careful selection
of a few key plants, often with a focus on
evergreens and architectural forms.
Hard landscaping materials like stone,
gravel and concrete also play a significant
role, creating a serene, low-maintenance
environment.
As we approach 2025, these gardening
trends reflect a shift towards sustainability,
resilience and simplicity. By embracing
these ideas, gardeners can create beautiful,
functional spaces that are ready for
the future.
Little Spirit and the Windows of Gold, and Little
Spirit and the Shadow Soldier - A J Freer
We’ve met Little Spirit before on these pages - the Guatemalan refugee who loves
treasure hunting. All of his adventures are based in and around Berkhamsted, so
make the ideal prompt for getting out of the house at the weekend and exploring
some of the places mentioned in the books.
Book 3 in the series is the Windows of Gold. When Little Spirit and his friend, Eliza, visit
Ashridge House and learn the story of the Abbot’s Gold, they’re desperate to see the stainedglass
windows that are said to hold clues to find it. But the tale is dismissed as just that - a
tale - but when Little Spirit finds a mysterious clue, the pair decide to investigate. A fabulous
adventure set within Queen Elizabeth I’s childhood home.
Book 4 is the Shadow Soldier. Based around the WWI trenches on Berkhamsted Common;
when the two friends are shown a WWI medal that’s going to be melted down for scrap, they
set out to trace its own and their family. But they are being followed by some strange shadows -
and the medal risks falling into the wrong hands…
Suspense and excitement make them ideal reading for ages 7-12.
A J Freer lives in Berkhamsted. The children’s author was a big fan of Enid Blyton’s mysteries
when she was a child.

Why our love of wallpaper is
perennial, and what’s to come
in 2025
As we move into a new year, wallpaper
is no longer simply a decorative
feature from the past but a bold
statement of personal style and creativity in
home interiors.
Once regarded as old-fashioned, wallpaper has
made a dramatic comeback and is evolving,
offering a myriad of exciting options for
homeowners and interior designers alike.
From maximalist patterns to muted hues,
wallpaper has become a canvas to express
individuality in the home.
Styles in 2025
Designs range from classic to contemporary,
allowing every space to feel unique. Botanical
prints are still a firm favourite, with oversized
leaves, tropical blooms and delicate floral
motifs bringing the outdoors in, providing a
lush, natural feel that works brilliantly in
living rooms, bedrooms or even kitchens.
Geometric patterns are continuing to rise in
popularity, offering a more modern touch. The
use of sharp lines, bold shapes and threedimensional
effects adds depth and movement,
making walls appear almost sculptural.
Perfect for feature partitions or entire rooms,
these arrangements can transform minimalist
spaces into something far more striking.
WHERE THERE’S A Meanwhile, vintageinspired
designs are
WALL
making a resurgence,
giving homes a
nostalgic yet elegant
THERE’S A WAY feel. From intricate
damask patterns to art
deco influences, these
styles offer a refined sense of
luxury, making them ideal for period homes,
or for amateur designers looking to add a
touch of timeless elegance to their interior.
Colour trends
When it comes to colours, the palette of 2025
is embracing both ends of the spectrum. Rich,
deep tones such as emerald green, navy blue
and burgundy are making waves, offering a
sense of warmth and opulence to interiors.
These shades work beautifully in larger
rooms, where they can be paired with velvet
furnishings and gold accents to create a cosy,
luxurious atmosphere.
At the same time, pastel shades continue to
have their place, providing a soft and calming
effect. Blush pinks, sage greens and muted
blues are perfect for creating a serene
environment, particularly in bedrooms or
home offices where tranquillity is essential.
Textured wallpaper is also gaining traction,
with materials such as silk, linen and
grasscloth adding dimension and a tactile
quality to walls. These options allow for a
subtler approach to wallpaper, ideal for those
who want an understated yet elegant look.
A bold future for walls
In 2025, wallpaper is more than just a
backdrop - it’s a key design feature in the
home. Whether you’re opting for bold
patterns or subtle textures, wallpaper offers
endless possibilities for creativity. With new
designs, materials and colours to explore, it’s
clear that where there’s a wall, there’s always a
way to make a statement.

It is promoted as a time of togetherness, but
for many, Christmas can be an isolating and
melancholy period. Beating those festive
blues isn’t easy, but these techniques can
help raise your spirits
Stay in touch
If you’re forced to be physically alone
this Christmas Day, you can still connect
with others (even if it’s via video calls or
social media).
A short video of a beloved grandson opening
the present you sent, a visit to a neighbour, or
a quick drink at the nearest pub will help you
ease your loneliness.
In fact, you might be surprised how simply
sharing in the cheer of others can bring a
smile to your own face.
Help others
Volunteering is a fantastic way to feel useful
and use your time in a positive way. Serving
dinner at a homeless shelter, collecting money
for a charity, or even making crafts to sell at
your local church fete will foster a sense of
purpose and remind you that there are many
others who also struggle this time of year.
Be thankful
It’s easy to become wrapped up in our own
problems, especially if we have a lot of time
alone to think. This is why it can help to focus
on all the wonderful experiences and gifts you
have received in your life.
LONELY
THIS CHRISTMAS
Keeping a gratitude journal, or even
just contemplate one thing
each day you are thankful
for, no matter how small,
can help shift your
perspective.
Reach out
The wonderful thing about
the holiday season is that
there are so many events and
opportunities to meet others. You
could join the local choir or theatrical group,
or even just watch a carol concert, nativity or
pantomime that’s playing in your area.
Even attending Midnight Mass or a
Christmas Day service can help remind us
what Christmas is truly about, and there is no
better way of experiencing that than in the
embracing arms of your community.
Accept your feelings
Putting on a charade of happiness for others
can be exhausting and, in these moments, it is
best to just accept how you feel.
Everyone has experienced conflicting
emotions during the festive period – it is a
milestone in the year we use as a point to
reflect and contemplate, so remember the
darker moments aren’t just your own.
So be kind to yourself, eat your favourite food
and watch whatever TV you want - a luxury
many will wish they had when they’re forced
to watch an entire afternoon of Only Fools
and Horses reruns!
