BERKHAMSTED’S QUALITY QUARTERLY MAGAZINE. DELIVERED BY

TO 11,246 HOMES IN BERKHAMSTED & SURROUNDING VILLAGES



Welcome to the

Autumn issue!

There’s always lots going on at this time of

the year – check out our guide on Halloween

fun with the kids, as well as details of firework

displays, Chilterns Heritage Festival and the

Heritage Open Days among many others!

It’s been brought to our attention by a

discussion on Facebook that some of you are

not happy about the plastic wrap that the

magazines are delivered in. Believe us, neither

are we. It doesn’t sit well with us at all that our

mags are sent out in polythene wrap which,

although recyclable at supermarkets, is still not

as environmentally friendly as we’d wish. We

are investigating an alternative and hope to have

a decision for 2020 and will let you know.

2019

In other news, we’ve sadly had to make the

decision not to publish the School Report this year

due to lack of interest. Apologies to those who find

it a useful guide – hopefully we can revisit it in

the future.

We hope you enjoy this issue of Living

Magazines. We like to think we cover most things

you want. For the results of the reader survey

from the summer issue, turn to page 18.

Have a lovely autumn and we’ll see you in the

Car park delayed ‘until 2020’

weather in February and June meant we needed

to close the car park to carry out maintenance

work.

‘The Moor is to be reinstated once the MSCP

[multi-storey car park] is up and running.’

Let’s hope we have our Moor back soon!

The temporary car park on the Moor seems

to have been closed more often than it’s

been open. Meanwhile, work on the new multistorey

continues.

Originally it was due to be completed in

November, but this is now forecast to be

February 2020.

‘The construction period was agreed to be 32

weeks once all of the utilities diversion works

had been completed,’ explains Ben Hosier from

Dacorum Borough Council.

‘The final certificate was received from

Thames Water at the end of June, which pushed

the completion date to February 2020.

‘The reason that the temporary car park has

reacted as it has, is not due to the installation

being incorrectly undertaken, but because

the early delay meant it was too late in the

season for the surface matting and the grass

to sufficiently knit together. Unseasonable

Berkofest is back!

This year’s Berkofest is taking place on Saturday

7 September – so if you haven’t bought tickets

already you’ll need to get your skates on!

The popular annual festival will take place at

Ashlyns Hall Estate from 11.30am until 7pm. It will

include music from local bands such as the Vegas

Girls, Shane Lamont and the Warriors of Light and

Melody Melon, as well as fun and games in the

creative zone from Olaf Falafel, Tiernan Douieb,

and circus performances and games from the

Flying Seagull Project!

Organiser Charlie Hussey says: ‘Last year’s

smaller format was a huge success and we’re

hoping to recreate the same this year – and we’d

like the whole town to get involved!’

Tickets will be priced at £10 per adult in advance

and £15 on the gate; concessions are £5, children

under 5 are free, and a family ticket is £25. For

more information go to www.berkofest.com

Neighbourhood Watch

It’s always important to be on the alert for

scams – and the Berkhamsted and Tring

Safer Neighbourhood Team want to warn you

about a recent one, as well as explaining how

you can protect yourself.

‘We have had a spate of people calling

and stating they are from the police and

have someone in custody with their bank

cards,’ explains PCSO Lauren Jackson from

Berkhamsted Police Station.

‘They are then asking the call taker to confirm

their bank details as a way of then withdrawing

money from the account. Police would NEVER

do this to anyone, so you should definitely

ignore it.

‘Another one is an automated message that

asks you to press a number to continue. Please

do not do this, as you can be agreeing to large

call costs.

‘If the callers are rude and aggressive you

should let the police know so that we know

about the scams going on in the area.’

If you’re worried about anything or have

any queries, please email the Tring and

Berkhamsted Safer Neighbourhood Team on

SNTBerkhamstedandTring@Herts.pnn.

It’s Christmas!

Well, not quite, but it’s not far away – and

certainly not too soon to be thinking

about the town’s Christmas lights!

Last year there was some disappointment

at the light display along Berkhamsted High

Street, with many wondering why the strings

of festive lights had disappeared from the shop

fronts.

Well, there’s a good reason for that – and the

town council are hoping to put it right soon.

‘We used to string the lights along the shop

fronts and connect to the power from the

lampposts,’ explains town clerk Janet Mason.

‘However, new health and safety regulations

means we’re no longer allowed to do that,

which is why we had to use the new lights on

lampposts.’

However, Janet is hoping that there will some

improvements this year, including more lights

for the Christmas tree and twinkling lights for

the trees along the high street.

APM 10 year anniversary

Berkhamsted

in the Media

Living Magazines’

publisher Alison Page

also runs Alison Page

Marketing (APM), a PR

and marketing agency

in Tring – and it has just

turned 10!

Alison decided to do

something dramatic to

celebrate – jumping out of

a plane at 13,000ft to raise

money for The Hospice of

St Francis!

‘I’ve always wanted to do

a skydive, and the Hospice

gave me the perfect reason

to make my dream come

true,’ Alison said.

‘I’m delighted that I

managed to raise more

than £1,000.’

And because it was

also the Hospice’s 40th

‘A group of friends have been dubbed

‘legends’ on Twitter after recreating the

famous Inbetweeners car to use as their ride

to prom.

Joshua Wrathall, Louis Priggen and

Brian Sussum, all 16, from Berkhamsted,

Hertfordshire went viral after buying an old

white Fiat Cinquecento and transforming

it into the car driven by Simon Cooper

(Joe Thomas) on the show.’

Daily Mail, 7 July 2019

anniversary, Alison had a cake specially made

to commemorate the event.

Kate Phipps-Wiltshire, CEO of The Hospice of

St Francis, added: ‘Alison’s skydiving themed

cake, as a gift for our hard-working community

nursing team, really was the icing on the cake

after she, and over 25 others, jumped out of a

plane for us and helped us to celebrate our 40th

birthday.

‘As a member of our Corporate Partner

Network, Alison’s been great at helping us

spread the word about this popular event. Many

congratulations to Alison who’s celebrating a

joint milestone of a big birthday this year and

running her marketing business for 10 years.’

Alison also invited some of her clients and

colleagues to help celebrate with an evening

canal boat ride with Kernal Cruisers at Cow

Roast. www.justgiving.com/fundraising/

Save Woods!

One of the best things about Berkhamsted

high street is the diversity and the

fabulous independent shops which continue

to thrive.

But now Woods, which has been a fixture

of the town for more than 40 years, is facing

closure, partly due to the increasing offering

of plants and flowers from Waitrose.

Woods Garden Centre managing director

Colin Campbell-Preston said:

‘Woods is a proud member of the

Berkhamsted community through the work

we do with schools, charities, theatre groups,

and encouraging people young and old to

get involved in creating a beautiful and

sustainable environment.

‘However after almost 40 years we may

soon cease to exist. Apart from significant job

losses, it would be very sad for the town to lose

another independent retailer.

‘We want Dacorum Borough Council to

regulate the planning position, inform

Waitrose that they have permission only to

trade from the fixed pods in 4.60 sq metres

outside their store, and ensure the rest of the

items be withdrawn from sale.’

Woods Garden Centre is part of Capital

Gardens, whose two other garden centres are

flourishing while sales figures show Woods

has struggled ever since the 2013 development

of Waitrose’s rival offering.

We’d hate to see the end of Woods.

If you’d like to sign the petition go to

Graham Greene Festival 2019:

‘Reflections on Greene’

The 21st Graham Greene

International Festival

takes place from Thursday

19 to Sunday 22 September,

and this year’s theme is

‘Reflections on Greene’,

emphasising the reflective

nature of Greene’s writing.

‘Our programme of events could be compared

to a hall of mirrors,’ explains Festival Director

Dr Martyn Sampson, ‘plentiful in perspectives

and diverse in points of view. We hope

participants will enjoy all the fun of the fair,

especially if they are visiting for the first time.’

The year 2019 marks 60 years since the release

of Carol Reed’s film adaptation of Greene’s

classic novel Our Man in Havana, 60 years

since Fidel Castro’s revolution in Cuba, and

500 years since the founding of the city of

Havana. There will be a screening of Our Man

in Havana, and a talk entitled Our Woman

in Havana: Reporting Castro’s Cuba by BBC

foreign correspondent, Sarah Rainsford.

This year’s celebration also launches an

innovative new writing prize for film reviews,

in commemoration of Greene’s intimate

involvement with the cinema. The inaugural

prize will be awarded at the 2020 Festival.

There will also be an exhibition of prints by

Bodenpress artists inspired by the work of

Graham Greene. Tickets from

Local Profile:

LOCAL PROFILE

Who is Patrick?

Patrick Burke runs his website

www.aid4disabled.co.uk. He is

also heavily involved with

research into Multiple Sclerosis

(MS) and is always out and about

talking to people about living

with a disability.

PATRICK

BURKE

What do you do when faced with a

devastating diagnosis that will change

your life as you know it forever? Do you wallow

in self pity, or do you pick yourself up, get

networking, make new friends, get involved with

research into your disease and start up a blog?

If you’re Patrick Burke, it’s the latter!

Patrick was diagnosed with MS back in 1995

and, at the time, he had no idea what it even was.

‘I’d hardly had any symptoms – just the

occasional urgent need to pee without anything

happening, and one incident of double vision

while driving,’ he says. ‘But when an MRI scan

revealed I had Multiple Sclerosis, I’d never even

heard of it.’

He soon found out. But Patrick didn’t let his

diagnosis stop him. He continued to work as an

IT specialist, travelling all over the world. But

as time went on, his health deteriorated until

he found he couldn’t walk very far and was

becoming too exhausted.

Finally, in 2012, Patrick was forced into an

early retirement.

‘Nothing prepares you for how tough it is,’

he says. ‘Emotionally it’s hard because you’re

not ready for retirement, and you’re no longer

earning; there were already things I couldn’t do

by then.’

Patrick didn’t have many friends in

Berkhamsted as he’d always worked away from

home, so he decided to start networking.

‘I met lots of people this way and started to

feel part of the community,’ he says. ‘It helped

enormously.’

He also set up a blog about his disability. ‘At

first I had grandiose visions of it being something

read by thousands that would make me some

money,’ Patrick says. Although he won the

Dacorum Dragon’s Den award, which gave him

£1,000 to set up the website in the first place, it

has slowly morphed into what it is today.

‘These days it’s a place where I can tell my

story about how my disabilities affect me and,

if people can relate to them and it helps them in

some way, then all the better,’ he says.

Patrick also helps with research into MS, and

speaks to student nurses about what it’s like to

live with a long-term illness.

He’s also keen to raise awareness into the

condition, as it is, he says, an invisible disability

most of the time.

‘It’s progressive so things change all the time.

You have to be willing to adapt with it. So when

I was no longer able to type, I got a dictation

system. And when I couldn’t walk unaided

anymore, I bought my shopping online. I stopped

travelling on the London Underground, but

discovered the buses were amazing.

‘There are some things I’ll always miss though.

I miss walking the dog the most – going up to

Ashridge every day and just walking. I rarely go

up there these days as it’s not very easy in the

scooter. But you can’t dwell on it.’

Patrick’s blog helps him deal with everyday

life. ‘It’s therapeutic for me,’ he says. ‘My friend

called it sardonic and that’s probably right. I

hope that it might help someone else get the help

they need, rather than simply putting up with

something.’

These days Patrick is on a trial for a new

drug for his symptoms and, although MS is a

progressive disease, he’s not letting it stop him.

‘I know if I overdo things I make myself much

worse,’ he says. ‘But I can’t sit around and do

nothing all day, so I try and get out to work and

to see people as much as I can. Otherwise, the

disease takes over, and that’s that.’

RECIPE

This delicious chocolate brownie recipe comes

from Rumbles Catering.

1. First, line an 8-inch square cake tin with baking

paper.

2. Heat the oven to 150C.

3. Gently melt the butter and chocolate together

over a saucepan of gently simmering water or

gradually in a microwave. Do not allow it to

boil. Sit to one side and allow to cool slightly.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar

together until they start to thicken – they

should create fine ribbons on the surface when

you lift the spoon up.

CHOCOLATE

BROWNIE

Ingredients:

• 200g dark chocolate

• 200g butter

• 200g caster sugar

• 4 medium eggs

• 120g self-raising flour

(or Gluten Free Flour)

5. Pour the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture and stir together, being

careful not to knock too much of the air out.

6. Sieve the flour into the chocolate mixture and carefully fold everything

together.

7. Pour the mixture into the lined tin and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until there

is a slight crust on the top. Be careful not to overbake - nobody likes a dry

brownie!

8. Allow to cool before cutting into pieces and removing from the tin so it

doesn’t fall apart.

SURVEY RESULTS

The results of our survey are in –

and it’s safe to say we’re thrilled with them!

We had many replies, so first we want to say a

big thank you to those who took the time to

complete the survey either by post, email or on the

website. Your responses mean a lot and will help

us build the brand and improve the product we’re

bringing to you.

And the results made fascinating reading.

Truly Local

We strive to make Living Magazines relevant to

Berkhamsted and Tring by supplying local news

and information while supporting local businesses

– and it looks as though we’ve succeeded, as a

whopping 96 per cent of you love that the

magazine is a source of properly local information.

Comments included that it was ‘truly local’, ‘it

says Tring on the cover and is all about Tring

inside’, and that our ‘support for local businesses is

refreshing.’ That’s exactly what we’ve been trying

to achieve!

Some said you’d like to see a bigger magazine

with more scope to cover things in more detail,

which is something we’re striving to achieve. We’d

love to have more space – but if you do want to see

some of our features and news items in more

detail, you can sign up to our newsletter, or follow

and like us on Facebook and Twitter, where we

post regularly between printed issues.

We also asked how you thought we compare to

other local magazines, and in that respect we came

off very well. Some of you were unaware of any

rivals, and of those that were, almost threequarters

of you think we’re better, while just 25

percent think we’re the same. One respondent even

went as far as to say that Living magazine is ‘much

better than other advertising-dominated so-called

local mags and newspapers, which publish mainly

syndicated national items irrelevant to local

readers.’ With an experienced – yet local - national

journalist writing all the features and news from

scratch every issue, we’re pleased that people can

see the difference!

Worth paying more

There was a real mix of love for the features we

carry, but nobody seemed to think there was

anything glaring missing from the mix. Almost all

of you liked the shopping pages – good news for

our local advertisers, especially as 85 per cent of

you said you believe it’s worth paying slightly

more for high quality goods.

Of course we can never get everything right for

everyone - one person said they found the In The

Media section a bit silly, and another wanted to see

more features – but even they are pretty positive

criticisms!

The main thing we’re taking away from this is

that we’re getting an awful lot right – and we hope

to be able to continue to do so for many years to

come! If you’d like to support us in our support for

local businesses and the town in general, then

please do sign up for our newsletter, and check out

our website for regular updates and news. We’ll be

very happy to see you there!

Winners!

Oh and one last thing. We promised a bottle of

bubbly for five respondents to say a huge thank

you – and here are the lucky winners!

BOOKS

The Girl at the Window

by Rowan Coleman. Ebury Press. Release date: 8 August 2019

Price: £7.99 in paperback and eBook

I love Rowan’s writing, and I know she has a real interest in the Brontes – so this story, based in

the place where the Bronte sisters wrote and set their novels, sounded amazing.

It’s both a ghost story and a love story, and even though I don’t normally read ghost stories,

this was wonderful. The past and the present combined, and the house itself – Ponden Hall, on

the Yorkshire Moors - became another character in the story. The setting was wonderful, the

characters complex and interesting, and the love story between both Trudy and her husband

Abe, as well as Trudy and her son Will, broke my heart.

Rowan’s imagination is amazing, and this is a triumph. I’d urge you all to devour it in as few

sittings as possible.

Impossible Causes

by Julie Mayhew. Bloomsbury. Release date: 17 October 2019

Price: £12.99 hardback

Another Berkhamsted author, this is Julie’s first foray into adult fiction, having previously

written several wonderful books for young adults.

Never one to shy away from a controversial subject, this time Julie turns her attention to the

deeply religious inhabitants of an isolated island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where, the

saying goes, nothing bad ever happens.

But when newcomers Viola Kendrick and her mother Deborah arrive from the mainland, they

set in motion a series of events that lead to the discovery that all is not well on the island of Lark

after all; that, hiding beneath the happy, safe exterior, lies a dark, sinister secret. A beautiful,

intriguing and beguiling tale of witchcraft, sexuality and human nature.

Monique

by Mike Walsham. Austin Macauley. Price: £12.99 paperback, £3.50 Kindle

Mike Walsham lives in Ringshall, Little Gaddesden, and this is his first historical fiction novel.

Set in WW2, it tells the story of Andrew, who joined the British Secret Service and got

involved in a daring raid in enemy territory in France. It’s a compelling and fast-paced story,

perfect for lovers of historical, wartime fiction.

McFinnia

by Pam Howard. Price: £6.99

This is local author Pam’s third novel in the series; McDragon came first, followed by Effel.

While on a school trip to Wales, Peter and his sidekick Biffy come across a red Welsh dragon

who desperately needs their help to hide from an evil witch’s flying gargoyles.

Their journey takes them to the magical Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides where they join

forces with McDragon and the other Scottish dragons. In trying to protect tiny McFinnia, they

have to ensure they do not come across their old foe, the evil wizard McMuran.

In our Summer issue we ran a competition to win a copy of The Buildings of England: Hertfordshire by James Bentley,

Nikolaus Pevsner and Bridget Cherry.

The answer to the question ‘which was the first garden city in the world’ is, of course, Letchworth.

And our winners are: Charles Waring, Wendy Lawrey, Chris Watson, Peter Ward.

HOME

IS WHERE THE

HAPPINESS IS

Can decluttering your home make you happier?

With a decluttered home comes a

decluttered mind, so the experts tell us.

And decluttering expert Marie Kondo has

certainly made many of us change our habits

with her books and TV show, ‘Tidying Up with

Marie Kondo’ on Netflix, while her cleaning

counterpart, Mrs Hinch, has got many of us

scrubbing our houses from top to bottom.

But can a clean and tidy home really help

make you happier?

Berkhamsted-based interiors therapist

Suzanne Roynon believes so – and she takes it a

step further by combining decluttering with

the ancient Chinese art of feng shui to bring

health and harmony into your home.

‘It’s obvious that having a clean, clear house

can help your mind feel cleaner and clearer

than if you live in a terrible mess,’ Suzanne

says. ‘But there’s more to it than that.’

Sponsored

by NFU

Mutual Hemel

Hempstead

Feng shui is based on the theory that your

home is divided into different areas. Each area

represents a different part of your life, and if

you can get those areas right, then you can sort

out any problems.

‘Living among clutter can cause stress, but it

can also create emotional and relationship

problems, health problems and weight gain,

among many other things,’ says Suzanne.

‘By getting rid of unwanted and unused items,

you can begin to regain control over your life.’

Suzanne uses a system, which includes

decluttering, organisation, feng shui and

guidance for moving forward.

‘I’ve seen it work with so many people, it’s

amazing,’ she says.

So when Suzanne offered me the chance to

have a session with her, I couldn’t turn it down.

Here’s how we got on.

Autumn 2019 / 23


Sort Out

Before

During

Throw Out Pile

After

The first thing Suzanne did was make a map

of my house. According to the laws of feng shui,

every house is divided into different sections

called a bagua, which means that each part of

the house represents a different aspect of your

life. However, when your house isn’t a perfect

square or rectangle, as mine isn’t, it needs to be

worked out according to the compass. This

meant that my house was missing a large part

of the knowledge section. Explains a lot!

Next she looked around my house and made

notes, then we went round together and

discussed things that might be affecting my

life, and what I could do to improve them.

They included certain pictures on the walls, a

pair of silver fighting cockerels in the living

room and a spiky clock above the bed that could

interrupt sleep.

She also suggested hanging crystal faceted

balls in the doorway to improve the knowledge

and wealth area that was missing.

One of my main objectives was to see whether

Suzanne could help me with a work issue;

getting a good book deal for my next novel,

which was, at the time of writing, out with

publishers hoping to sell.

In my office Suzanne suggested moving a few

things around to increase and improve the

energy. She also suggested I make a mock-up of

my new book with a ‘Sunday Times Bestseller’

logo on it and place it in a frame on the

windowsill – my fame and recognition area. I

did it the moment she’d left; what did I have to

lose?

Much of the work Suzanne does is about

decluttering. Clutter, she explains, can prevent

positive energy from getting in. The easiest

place to start decluttering is usually the

wardrobes – so that’s where we began.

First we pulled everything out. And I mean

everything. The pile on the bed was ridiculous.

Then we started going through things one by

one. I had to decide whether each item was

something that made me happy, that I loved

and that served a purpose. If not, it went out.

There was no pressure and, at first, I was

reluctant to chuck too much out, but as the

charity shop pile began to grow it felt strangely

cathartic. A dress I liked once but makes me feel

frumpy? Charity shop. Favourite top with a hole

in it? Bin. And so on.

As I did this, Suzanne was on her knees on the

bedroom floor with all the items I’d chosen to

keep, folding them neatly back into the drawers

Marie Kondo-style, while dodging old pairs of

tights and t-shirts flying across the room.

The charity shop pile was so enormous by the

end that I wondered how on earth it had all

fitted into my wardrobe!

Normally after a clearout I keep piles of clothes

to see whether friends want them. Not this time.

‘You need to get rid of everything straight

away, otherwise you’ll put loads back ‘just in

case’ (which I’m the queen of!),’ explained

Suzanne. And so we bagged everything up and

took six bags to the Cancer Research shop, and

four to the dump.

PROPERTY

Now, when I opened my wardrobe doors, I

could find my clothes – and they were things I

actually wanted to wear because I’d chosen to

keep them! It felt surprisingly good.

The clutter was gone from there – and

it inspired me to get on with the rest of

the house, which I’m slowly working

through.

Whether the changes in the office worked

remains to be seen – but watch this space!

www.clutterfree.coach.

WEAR IT

PINK!

October is Breast Cancer

Awareness Month. Here’s

how you can get involved.

Hearing the news that you’ve got breast

cancer is devastating – and for roughly

1,015 women in Hertfordshire every year, this

becomes the reality.

Nationwide, one in eight women will be

diagnosed in their lifetime.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month,

and 18 October is the day for Wear It Pink,

where you can help raise money for essential

research and care.

With help and advice from the charity

Breast Cancer Now, we show you how you

can help, as well as bring you an essential

breast cancer symptoms checker.

Wear It Pink!

One of the UK’s biggest fundraising events

since its launch in 2002, Wear It Pink has so

far raised more than £33 million – and last

year alone it raised an amazing £1.6 million.

So how can you help?

Well, however you like really – as long as it

involves some pink! Hold a cake sale,

organise a raffle, arrange a pink fancy dress

day at work – whatever takes your fancy.

Lottie Barnden, Head of Mass Participation

at Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer

Now, explains why it’s so important.

‘Every year around 55,000 women and

around 350 men are given the devastating

news that they have breast cancer,’ she says.

‘Despite great strides in research, around

11,500 women and 80 men still die from

breast cancer every year – that’s nearly one

death every 45 minutes.

‘We currently fund around a third of all

breast cancer research in the UK, and last

year we responded to more than 5.8 million

breast cancer support requests. Without the

generosity of Wear It Pink supporters, we

simply cannot continue to fund this crucial

research and support for all those affected by

breast cancer now, and in the future.’

Fundraising ideas

Whether you want to hold your event at work,

school, among friends and family, or you’re

organising a community event, there are loads

of different ideas. Here are some for starters,

but there are plenty more on their website:

• Hold an afternoon tea – you can either invite

friends and family and ask them to donate, or

make it a bigger event and ask people to

donate for every afternoon tea they have

• Cake sale – this is a great idea for work or

school, and you can ask parents and

colleagues to make cakes to sell on the day;

as long as they’re all pink!

• Hold a fancy dress competition or dress pink

day at work – again, make sure the theme is

pink, and charge a fine if people don’t

comply!

• Hold a pink party

• Hold a pink raffle – make sure you leave

enough time to get prizes together

• Hold a pink disco – this could be for friends

or at school, as long as people dress in pink!

To find out more about the event, to get more

ideas or to register, go to www.wearitpink.org.

For care, support and information, call Breast

Cancer Care free on 0808 800 6000 Monday to

Friday from 9am until 4pm, and Saturday 9am

until 1pm, or visit

The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the better the

your breasts regularly.

There are many different signs and symptoms of breast

cancer, so checking your breasts for any unusual change is

important. Common breast cancer signs and symptoms

include:

• A lump or swelling in the breast, upper chest or armpit.

You might feel the lump, but not see it

• Changes in the size or shape of the breast

• A change in skin texture i.e. puckering or dimpling of the

skin

• A change in the colour of the breast - the breast may look

red or inflamed

• Rash, crusting or changes to the nipple

• Any unusual discharge from either nipple

Pain in your breasts is not normally a sign of breast cancer,

but it can be if it is associated with other symptoms. While

most pain is not a symptom, it’s important to look out for

any pain that is unusual and persists over a period of time.

Noticing an unusual change like these doesn’t necessarily

mean you will get breast cancer, but it’s important to get

checked out if you are worried.

Did you know that Pilates is an amazing

way of getting your body back to fitness

after cancer treatment? Liz Van Hullen

from Tring Pilates explains how it can help.

‘During the first world war, Joseph

Pilates developed his techniques while

working with hospital inpatients on their

individual rehabilitation,’ she says. ‘Since

then the use of Pilates techniques as part of

a rehab programme has massively increased.

‘Medical treatments and invasive

surgery take a huge toll on the body. Good

Pilates instruction will enhance the

healing process by manipulating scar

tissue, promoting or rebuilding an even

musculature, and developing core

strength. Pilates offers such a degree of

flexibility that it can be absolutely

modified for each individual and their

rehab needs.

‘It’s important that your consultant or

physiotherapist has approved it before

you introduce Pilates as part of your rehab

programme, and make sure you use a studio

with high quality equipments and highly

trained instructors.’ www.tringpilates.co.uk

WALKS

With thanks to George Edwards as always for his wonderful detailed walk.

This is the sixth in our series of dog-friendly

local walks and starts at the Greyhound or

Wigginton Community Shop, where there is

free parking. The walk uses part of the Chiltern

Way, Ridgeway and Icknield Way. It descends

towards Wigginton Bottom, passing an Alpaca

Farm, crosses the Chesham Road before

heading towards Roundhill Woods and High

Scrubs Wood. The route returns via Tring Park.

The route is mainly on footpaths across fields

and through woods, with the option of

extending or shortening the walk at several

points. The longest route is 4.6 miles (7.4 km)

with an ascent of 335 feet (102 m). Refreshments

are available at the Greyhound or Wigginton

Community Shop café. A full description of the

walk and annotated map is available at www.

livingmags.info.

Prehistoric Settlement

There is some evidence of prehistoric

settlement around Wigginton, Grim’s Ditch,

possibly dating from the Iron Age. In the 11th

century the village was known as Wigentone

and under the control of a half-brother of

William The Conqueror, Robert, Count of

Mortain, builder of Berkhamsted Castle. In

1086, the Domesday Book suggested that

Wigginton was probably acquired by force by

Robert from two Tring estates. Later the manor

was the subject of successive legal challenges in

the Court of Chancery until it came into the

possession of Sir Richard Anderson, of the

manor of Pendley, during the 1650s. Wigginton

Common was enclosed in 1854 and was

subsequently incorporated into the Tring Park

Estate owned at the time by the Rothschild Family.

Tring Park

Tring Park formed the estate of the Tring Park

Mansion, designed around 1680 by Sir

Christopher Wren. Tring Park was bought by

Sir William Gore, Lord Mayor of London in 1705

and later Sir Drummond Smith, before being

purchased by the Rothschild family in 1872. The

park is Grade II listed by English Heritage, now

owned by Dacorum Borough Council and

managed by the Woodland Trust.

Champneys

The Champneys estate was originally a separate

manor owned by successive landowning

families in Wigginton and the surrounding

area between the 14th and 19th centuries. The

Rev. Arthur Sutton Valpy replaced the original

building by the current house in 1874 and in 1900

he sold Champneys to Lady Rothschild as a future

Dower House. Stanley Lief bought it in 1925 and

converted Champneys into a Nature Cure

sanatorium which he ran from the 1930s for

about 20 years. It is of course now a part of the

world-famous Champneys brand of health spas.

SAVE OUR

HEDGEHOGS!

Our native hedgehogs are on the decline.

Here’s what you can do to help

According to the People’s Trust for Endangered

Species (PTES), the number of hedgehogs in

the UK has declined by a third since the

millennium alone.

So why is it happening and how can we stop the

decline?

We spoke to Fay Vass, Chief Executive of the

British Hedgehog Preservation Society, to find out

the best ways of helping our prickly little friends.

‘Hedgehog numbers have declined by a third in

urban areas and a half in rural ones since the year

2000,’ she explains. ‘This is largely due to loss and

fragmentation of habitat. While pockets of land

may be good for hedgehogs, if they don’t join up

with other pockets, the population won’t be

sustainable. A hedgehog frequently travels around

a mile in a night – that’s a lot of gardens!

‘Hedgehogs are generalist species, so the fact

that they are declining so rapidly should ring loud

alarm bells for us all. They are an excellent

indicator species and their decline tells us that,

very sadly, all is not well with the natural world.’

A helping hand

There are lots of ways we can help hedgehogs

survive, although if you can only do one thing,

then make sure they can get from your garden into

another one by cutting a CD-sized hole in the

fence. ‘There’s no point making hedgehog-friendly

gardens if they can’t get in,’ explains Fay.

‘Connecting gardens will open up a huge amout of

space for them, so ask neighbours to do the same

and log new holes on the Big Hedgehog Map at

www.bighedgehogmap.org’

34 / Berkhamsted Living www.livingmags.info


Here are some other ideas to help our prickly

friends.

1. Keep a corner of your garden wild, or build a log

pile to offer shelter, protection and natural food.

2. Avoid pesticides and slug pellets, as they can

harm hedgehogs and damage their food chain.

Try organic methods such as a ‘beer trap’, a

small pot filled with beer and sunk in the

ground, or the skin of half a grapefruit placed

upside down to attract slugs. Protect plants

with crushed egg shells or sharp sand around

the base.

3. Provide a shallow dish of fresh water and food,

such as meat-based pet food or cat biscuits,

especially during long, dry spells. Prevent cats

from stealing the food by creating a hedgehog

feeding station. Use a blue plastic mushroom

box, or waterproof storage box, and cut a 13cm x

13cm (5” x 5”) hole in one of the short sides so

that when the box is upside down the hole

forms an entrance. Weight it down with a brick

and put the food at the back. If necessary, place

another brick about 13cm (5”) away from the

entrance to stop cats lying down and reaching

in with their paws.

4. Make or buy a hedgehog home to offer a

hibernation site safe from predators in the

winter. It may also be used as a nesting box for a

mother and her hoglets in the warmer months.

The hoglets stay in the nest for four weeks after

they are born. After that you will see them out

of the nest with mum for a further four weeks,

then at eight weeks old they are fully weaned

and will wander off to find nest sites of their

own. For more information send an A5 SAE to

The British Hedgehog Preservation Society at

Hedgehog House, Dhustone, Ludlow, SY8 3PL.

5. Check areas for hedgehogs before strimming or

mowing. Keep pea netting 22-30cm (9-12”) off

the ground so hedgehogs can pass under, and

start a compost heap; birds will feed off the

mini-beasts that congregate there, as will

hedgehogs and toads. A word of warning though

before using the compost – test the base and

sides gently for sleeping wildlife.

6. Dispose of litter responsibly. Every year

hedgehogs are injured by litter and starve to

death by getting their heads trapped in

discarded rubbish – empty food cans, yoghurt

pots, plastic mugs. Worst are the plastic rings

that hold cans together. Always make sure each

circle is cut.

7. Bonfires offer a tempting home for a hedgehog.

Ideally, relocate materials just before the fire is

to be lit. If this isn’t possible, lift the base with a

pole to check for wildlife before lighting. Single

hedgehogs can be moved – wear gardening

gloves to pick the hedgehog up and pop it into a

box, and release it when the fire has cooled. If

you come across a nest with babies in it, quietly

put the materials back and leave well alone.

Keep an eye on the site as the mother may

abandon or even kill young if a nest is

disturbed. If it seems the mother is not

returning to the nest call the British Hedgehog

Preservation Society helpline on 01584 890 801.

8. Hedgehogs are good swimmers but can become

trapped in ponds or pools with steep slippery

sides. Keep water levels topped up, provide a

gently sloping edge or place half submerged

rocks in the water as an escape.

the British Hedgehog Preservation Society at

RESTAURANT REVIEW

THE IVY, ST ALBANS

Our publisher, Alison, went along to try out

the new afternoon tea at The Ivy in St

Albans. Well, someone’s got to!

I took my mum along for the afternoon tea –

I knew she’d enjoy it! It was a Monday afternoon

when we went and, as you would expect, the

restaurant was fairly quiet when we arrived.

As we settled at our table, light jazz music

played in the background and it was lovely and

relaxing.

There’s a choice of afternoon teas: a simple

cream tea for £7.95; afternoon tea for £18.95; or

you can upgrade to a Champagne tea for £26.50.

As it was early, we decided against the

Champagne this time, but there’s a good

selection of teas so I opted for Earl Grey while

my mum chose fresh mint tea.

We were brought a selection of savouries,

which included smoked salmon sandwiches

and avocado on cream cheese as the vegetarian

option, as well as a warm brioche roll filled with

either chicken (for mum) or tangy tomato (for

me). They were all lovely and fresh, totally

delicious and perfectly presented. The fruit

scones were tasty and light. Mum couldn’t eat

her last scone and I only made it halfway through

my chocolate pot, although it was very tasty!

In all we spent about an hour and a half

enjoying our afternoon tea, and if the weather

is warm there’s plenty of space to sit outside.

We had a lovely time and would definitely

go back.

Magazine this year

(Spring 2019 issue).

Project enquiries

are still coming in

two months after

publication which is

very encouraging.

The magazine

designed the advert
