Welcome to the
Spring issue!
We love this time of year – the promise of
spring, sunshine and a fresh start. Which
is why we decided it was a good time to give
ourselves a fresh new look too!
You may notice that your favourite local
magazine has been given a bit of a facelift. We’ve
worked hard to get this right, while striving
to continue to deliver the best content and this
will continue to evolve over time. Most notably
we’ve changed the name of the news pages to
‘Local Focus’; this is to reflect the fact that, being
a quarterly mag, we can’t possibly hope to deliver
you the most up-to-date news in print form.
Instead we’re bringing you all the latest local
news on our website, and dedicating the precious
TRING
SPRING
2019
pages of our printed magazine to important local
issues, and anything else we think you might find
interesting and useful.
We hope you like it! Please do let us know your
thoughts either on our Facebook page or drop us
an email to: info@livingmags.info.
Have a wonderful Easter – see our feature about
making your own Easter Eggs, as well as seasonal
features on exercising outdoors, planting fruit
and veg in your garden and making Mother’s Day

Tring loneliness initiative
Back in September we reported on an
initiative to tackle loneliness and exclusion
in Tring, after which a steering group was set
up. It was anticipated that the plan would be
implemented in January, and that time is now
here.
The steering group is now starting to
create a printed directory and website, listing
everything in and around Tring that could
help people make contact with others through
taking part in something. This is the first part
of the initiative and the information will be for
all age groups from teenagers upwards.
They now need help in contacting
organisations to ensure that their details are
correct. They won’t be able to complete the
directory and website without volunteers to

New planning rules
Dacorum Borough Council is consulting on
proposals to change planning rules, in a
bid to protect the borough’s employment areas.
Changes of use from office, light industrial
or warehouse use to houses or flats no longer
require planning permission, following recent
changes in planning rules.
The council is proposing reintroducing
the need for planning permission in key
employment areas, such as Maylands Business
Park and Hemel town centre.
This can be achieved by designating certain
business locations as Article 4 areas, which
gives the council extra powers of planning
regulation. In Tring, this will affect the site at
Icknield Way and, if it is agreed, it will come
into force in January 2020.

From Hollywood blockbusters to cosy TV
dramas, Tring, Berkhamsted and the
surrounding villages are a popular spot for
filmmakers to film on location. But do you
know just how many have been filmed here in
the last few years?
Rumours were abound in the summer of 2018
that Star Wars were filming up at Ivinghoe
Beacon, and pictures appeared in The Sun of
Chewbacca filming on set (yes, the real one).
This has never been confirmed by the studios
but they’re notoriously secretive, and we think
the pictures speak for themselves.

Digitally Yours
new website has been launched by local
A expert Samantha Hollier to support parents
in becoming better equipped to help their
children stay safe online.
Digitally Yours is a non-profit organisation,
which aims to build empowered relationships
with the internet for children, parents and
professionals, promoting responsibility rather
than fear.
‘Navigating the online world can be daunting,
worrying and scary, as well as exciting,
gratifying and wonderful,’ says Samantha.
‘When it comes to the internet, safety is
something everyone talks about and quite
rightly so. We are bombarded with messages
of fear.
‘But if we take time to build a healthy
relationship with the internet and empower
our children to make choices, could things be
different?
‘You are the experts when it comes to your
child, but here are some suggestions that may
help support you and them:
1. Talk to your child about what they are doing
online
2. Ask them to teach you about the social media
platforms they are using and ask what they
use them for. Open up the discussion about
what the platforms do and what they use
them for.
3. If they come across something they are
concerned about, or are asked to share
something inappropriate, reassure them and
report it to CEOP - www.ceop.police.uk/
safety-centre
4. Model good behaviour – you cannot expect
your child to put their phone/internet-ready
device down if yours is in your hand all the
time.
5. There are other resources to help you talk to
your children on the NSPCC website – visit
www.nspcc.org.uk to find out more.’

Protective card minders are coming to Tring
Tring Neighbourhood Watch (TNHW)
recently received a generous grant from
Tring Town Council, enabling the ‘OWL card
minder’ project to launch.
The OWL card minder is a low-cost solution
to reduce the risk of unauthorised payments
being taken from your contactless credit or
debit card while you’re out and about. For
just £1 you can keep your card safe inside this
protective device to prevent it from being
scanned and used by thieves.
‘The card inner sleeve has been tested
against commercial contactless payment
terminals, as well as mobile phones running
apps that scan contactless cards,’ explains
a spokesperson from TNHW. ‘We can
currently take orders directly for 10 or more,
and are working on securing high street
outlets. So please keep your eyes peeled for
more information and if you are an outlet
South West
Hertfordshire
MP, David Gauke,
is backing plans
to improve
hospital provision
in the West
Hertfordshire
area. It has been a
long-held concern that facilities in the area need
to be improved and there are various proposals
as to how this might be done.
A number of local residents have campaigned
for a new hospital in the Kings Langley area, but
interested in helping us distribute, please get
in contact!’
All profits raised from the card minders will
support local community projects. Please send
any ideas to help deter crime, or the fear of it, to

We are part of your community that works
together with you, the police and other
organisations to fight crime and the fear of
crime. Become a member of Neighbourhood
Watch today by signing up at www.owl.co.uk.
As a NHW member we ask you to look out for
your neighbours, get to know what’s normal
activity in your road and report anything
you see out of place to the police (call 101 non
emergency or report online at www.herts.
police.uk/report). Don’t forget to sign up
your elderly and vulnerable neighbours that
do not have the internet, so you can pass the
information on.
David Gauke backs campaign for better hospital provision
this now looks unaffordable. The local Clinical
Commissioning Group and Hospital Trust are,
however, putting forward a bid for £350 million
to improve facilities at Watford, plus either
Hemel Hempstead or St Albans.
‘I can appreciate the strength of feeling of
those campaigning for a new hospital, especially
as Watford Hospital is not well placed for my
constituents in Berkhamsted and Tring,’ says
David. ‘However, at this stage it looks like the
only viable way to improve services is to back
this bid. It should result in a tangible
improvement – something which is long
overdue.’

Gardening for mental health
We’ve written often about the benefits of
nature and the great outdoors on our
mental and emotional health – whether it’s
exercising outside or simply making sure you
get out in the great outdoors for some fresh air
as often as you can.
But did you know that this is such an
established, well-recognised way of helping
people with mental health issues that there’s
a charity aimed specifically at combining the
two?
Lindengate, in Wendover, covers Tring and
the surrounding villages too, and is an awardwinning
mental health charity that offers
specialised gardening activities to people with
mental health needs.
The five acre site, next to Wyevale Garden
Centre in Wendover, offers Social and
Therapeutic Horticulture (STH), which uses
the healing power of nature to improve mental
wellbeing, boost self-esteem, promote social
inclusion and encourage long term recovery.
According to the NHS, one-in-four people are
known to suffer with mental ill-health in any
given year. Social care facilities are needed to
relieve the strain on mainstream healthcare –
and Lindengate does just that.
‘Our five acre site is big enough to allow
us to offer a wide range of gardening and
horticultural activities, which also include
landscaping, construction, conservation, art,
crafts; as well as cooking and baking,’ explains
director, Jan Webster. ‘Our Service Users,
(referred to as Gardeners), can spend time in a
managed, calm and safe environment, either
singly or in small groups, working towards
improving wellbeing.
‘Our Social and Therapeutic Horticulture
services are catered to the individual, providing
each person with support catered to their
unique needs. We believe it is important to
support the individual and our mantra is that
we ‘leave the diagnosis at the gate’ and treat
everyone as people, not as their diagnosed
condition. We are now gaining a positive
reputation for being able to support people
with complex needs. Our environment enables
Gardeners inclined towards challenging
behaviour to explore that behaviour safely
within Lindengate - where it would otherwise
be difficult to manage in society.’
The charity also has a Memory Pathway
Garden dedicated to those with dementia and
memory loss, and is carrying out important
conservation work in conjunction with
Aylesbury Vale District Council to help save the
native black poplar tree.

LOCAL PROFILE
A DESIRE FOR CHANGE
Who is Geoff?
Geoff is founder of Innovate,
a company that provides
catering to primary and
secondary schools, and the chairman of the
Impact Food Group. In November last year
he was presented with a ‘Face of a Vibrant
Economy’ award from accountancy firm Grant
Thornton, which recognises progressive leaders
across all areas of business.
Some people like to go with the flow, while
others like to make a difference – and Geoff
Peppiatt definitely falls into the latter category.
Although a businessman by trade, he began
his career working for trade unions. Later,
armed with an MBA, he became a management
consultant, helping businesses expand and
improve their business practice.
He now says he believes to have come full
circle, because he’s gone back to his roots
working for change – this time in the health and
nutrition of school children.
‘10 years ago I decided I wanted to run my own
business,’ says Geoff. ‘An opportunity came up
to buy a failing bakery with 240 retail outlets
nationwide. With a friend who had a background
in the bakery industry, we bought it with the plan
to turn it around.’
Unfortunately, thanks to circumstances
beyond their control, including rising electricity
prices, the business became harder work than
they expected.
Then, out of the blue, Geoff received a phone
call from the headmaster of a secondary school
in Maidenhead.
‘He said his children were leaving the premises
every lunchtime to buy food at our shop rather
than eating at the school, and suggested I should
set up a school catering firm,’ Geoff says.
Something struck a chord with Geoff and his
partner, and they paid the school a visit. It was
immediately obvious what needed to change.
‘The food was terrible, there was no choice and
the students were having to queue for ages. We
saw where we could make a difference.’
They set up Innovate, a school catering
company, to take over the school meals. Within
a few months it was being rolled out across
schools nationwide.
Last year fund management company Bridges
invested in Innovate, along with another
company called Cucina, and now the two work
together under the Impact Food Group umbrella.
Impact are currently operating in 160 schools,
and by the end of this academic year it will be
more than 200. But expansion of the business is
only one side.
‘We’re working on improving nutrition among
school children,’ Geoff says. ‘Government
guidelines are mainly aimed at primary school
children. But secondary schools are different.
Banning certain foods doesn’t help, as the
children just go elsewhere. If we provide good,
nutritious food within school, in an environment
where they want to eat, we can improve things.’
And that‘s exactly what they’re doing. For
example, rather than banning pizzas, they’ve
simply added nutritious ingredients and taken
sugar out of the tomato topping. They’ve
streamlined the payment system, improved
dining areas and are working towards being
much more eco friendly.
‘It’s a work in progress but we’ve come a long
way,’ Geoff says.
And the award they won recently reflects their
success as a social impact company. ‘We’re
working to encourage healthier lifestyles,
positive employment practices and sustainability
in schools and in the wider community,’ says Geoff.

1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4. 2. Butter
and line the base of a 20cm round springform cake tin
with baking parchment. 3. Combine the plain flour,
caster sugar, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda and
salt in a large bowl. 4. Whisk the buttermilk into the
melted butter and egg, followed by the water. If you
can’t find buttermilk, pour 110ml milk into a jug and
add ½ tbsp lemon juice. Leave to stand for five minutes
until thickened. 5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry
ingredients, whisk or beat until you have a smooth
batter. Pour the batter into your prepared tin.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes until risen and a skewer
inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for
10 minutes before turning out on to a cooling rack. 7.
Repeat to make a second chocolate cake. 8. Repeat
the process again using the ingredients for the orange
cake, adding the zest to the wet ingredients. 9. The
cakes freeze well undecorated if you don’t have time or
enough cake tins to make them all in one go.
The decoration
10. Prepare the icing by melting the white chocolate in a
bowl over simmering water. 11.Beat the butter, zest
(and extract if using) and gradually add the icing sugar.
Add the melted chocolate and beat again until smooth.
12. Trim the tops of the cakes using a sharp knife to
level them. This mix produces a delightfully sticky
sponge so you will need to keep cleaning the blade.
13. Place one of the chocolate cakes on your serving
plate. Spread an even layer of icing to the edge of the
cake followed by a thin layer of orange curd leaving
about 1cm round the edge. 14. Place the orange cake on
a plate or board and spread with the icing and curd.
Place this layer on top of the first chocolate layer. 15.
Place the second chocolate cake on a plate or board and
spread with the icing. Place on top of the orange layer.
16. Use the remaining icing to coat the side of the cake.
Use a palette knife or small straight bladed knife to spread
around the side, being careful not to drag too many
chocolate cake crumbs into the white icing. You may
find you have a little icing left over. To create a smoother
finish, warm a palette knife in a jug of hot water, dry, and
smooth the icing more. 17. Decorate with your choice of
Easter eggs, bunnies and chocolates. 18. Enjoy!

The Little Café at the End of the Pier
Helen Rolfe, Orion, £7.99 paperback, £4.99 Amazon
Kindle
Searching for love? You’ll find it at The Little Café at the End of the Pier...
When Jo’s beloved grandparents ask her to help run their café at the end of the
pier in Salthaven-on-Sea, she jumps at the chance. Jo soon realises that each of her
customers is looking for love. She goes about setting each of them up on blind
dates, held in the café, with a special menu designed for the occasion. But Jo has
never found love herself. Could love be right under her nose...?
This is the collection of the Café at the End of the Pier novellas that Berkhamsted
author Helen brought out throughout 2018. It’s a lovely, feelgood read with warm,
likeable characters – perfect for reading on the beach.

IMPROVE,
DON’T MOVE
If you’re unsure whether to move house or improve
where you live, read this first…
Whether it’s uncertainty about the future,
rising house prices or the cost of stamp
duty, more and more of us are choosing to stay in
our current home rather than move. According to
the 2018 Barclays Home Improvement Report, 28%
of homeowners who were considering moving
have decided to stay put.
But never say never, right? Perhaps one day
you’ll want to move, so how do you make the most
of your current home, while ensuring you
future-proof it? We take a look at the best ways to
add value and the changes you should avoid.
Add a bedroom
Easier said than done if you have no more space to
expand, but think laterally; could you go into the
loft, basement, or add a bedroom in the garage or
on a large landing? If so, this is the single biggest
thing you can do to add value to your home.
According to property management website Move
With Us, it can add up to 8.8% – that’s a whopping
£61,600 on a £700K family home.
‘Be careful not to make your home too top heavy
though,’ warns David Milbourn, Mortgage Adviser
for Stringer Mann Financial Planners in
Berkhamsted. ‘Adding two bedrooms to a
three-bedroom semi without increasing the living
space downstairs is not ideal. While square
footage does have a bearing on value, buyers today
value light, airy open plan accommodation.’
Loft conversion
This can add 7.1% value, definitely worth
considering if you need more space. You don’t
usually need planning permission, but it’s worth
checking. A typical loft conversion costs around
£35-£45,000.
‘This is a good way to boost property value,
however care must be taken to avoid overdeveloping
your home for the ceiling price of the
area,’ adds David Milbourn.
Add/improve bathrooms
An extra bathroom can add 6.1% value. Maybe
you’ve got space to squeeze in a small en suite, or a
large cupboard which could hold a loo and shower?
Otherwise, simply upgrading can add 5% more
value – that’s more than £38,000 on a £700k home!
Replace old baths and basins, retile, replace taps,
add mirrors and replace carpets with vinyl or tiles.
New kitchen
A new kitchen can add a huge amount of appeal –
and almost 6% in value! You can buy a new kitchen
quite reasonably, but if you don’t want to replace
everything, go for new taps, worktops and new
cupboard doors.
Off-street parking
Parking is at a premium in both Berkhamsted and
Tring, so off-street parking can add an enormous
22 / Tring Living www.livingmags.info
PROPERTY
amount of value – more than 5%. Check with
Dacorum Borough Council (DBC) about planning
regulations in your street.
Conservatory
Conservatories are a cost-effective way of creating
more room – and add 5% value. Consider a
half-brick conservatory and even a proper roof
rather than glass.
Windows
Most home buyers want double glazing and if you
don’t have it they will calculate the cost of adding
it. Double glazing can add around 4.2%, and if
you’re planning to stay put it can seriously cut
your energy bills.
Garden
A decent garden can potentially increase the value
of your home by 4%. ‘A well presented garden will
make your property more attractive and likely to
sell over neighbouring ones that lack imagination,’
says David Milbourn. ‘Many buyers don’t seek
large gardens but want a low maintenance garden
ready for entertaining all year round.’
Kerb appeal
If the exterior is scruffy it can reduce value of your
home by 5%. Repoint brickwork, replace or repaint
windows and old garage doors, repair cracked or
broken cladding, replace door knockers and house
numbers, and consider adding a porch.
Replace carpets
According to a survey by HSBC, decent carpets
can add almost £2,000 to the value of your
property. But if they just need a good clean,
get it done professionally – it will be money
well spent!
Restore or replace period features
If original features have been ripped out of an old
home, consider replacing things such as cornices
and fireplaces, as buyers look for these. It doesn’t
have to cost the earth but can make the world of
difference – check out salvage yards such as
Timber Reclamation in Studham near Little
Gaddesden. www.timberreclamation.co.uk.
Things to avoid
You might think that any improvement will add
value, but you’d be wrong. Here are the common
pitfalls to avoid:
Swimming pools
If you’re planning to stay in your home and will
get use out of it, go ahead and build a swimming
pool. But bear in mind that people see them as
costly, and they take up valuable space, so they
might actually put people off.
Solar panels
We’re all for saving the environment and if you
want to save money on your energy bills then go
for it. But bear in mind some people see solar
panels as an eyesore, as well as expensive to
upgrade. They rarely add value.
Easy improvements
Here are some more simple and affordable ways to
make your house more appealing...
Give it a lick of paint
It’s easy to underestimate the difference fresh paint
can make. Choose neutral colours, but this doesn’t
necessarily mean pale. You can go dark, but not too
bright, as this will put many people off.
Add wooden floors
Wooden floors are a surprising way to add value to
your home without too much effort – up to 2% value
in fact!
Add pots and plants
A few pot plants or potted trees in the front garden
can transform a property’s kerb appeal. Add gravel
to old paths, window boxes or hanging baskets.
Lighting
Think about the lighting in each room as it can really
make a difference; does it need to be bright for a
kitchen, and dimmer or more atmospheric for a
bathroom or bedroom? Consider lamps, uplighters
and spotlights.

PETS
HOME IS WHERE THE PET IS
Pets can get lonely if left alone.
Here are some ideas to keep them happy while you’re out of the house.
Just like us humans, pets like company. Dogs in
particular enjoy the company of other dogs and
people. Of course, it depends on the individual
animal, as well as their breed, age and experiences,
but as a rule of thumb, most pets benefit from
some stimulation when left alone – and if they
don’t get it, it can lead to all sorts of problems.
‘Some dogs display separation anxiety problems
when left alone,’ explains dog behavioural expert
Hanne Grice from Tring. This can include going to
the toilet in the house, excessive barking and
destruction of property.
‘Other pets may seek out their own
entertainment to relieve boredom and provide
emotional relief,’ adds Hanne. ‘This can mean
bar-biting for birds, cats might scratch the sofa or
spray, while dogs can destroy shoes and dig or
chew the furniture.’
Natasha Lovette, a veterinary nurse from
Springwell Vets in Tring, agrees.
‘Dogs in particular are very sociable animals and
can react badly to being left alone for long periods
of time,’ she says.
‘The recommended guidelines say you shouldn’t
leave your dogs for more than four to six hours.
Dogs left for longer can get lonely and depressed
and can start developing behavioural problems,
including soiling the house, or developing
separation anxiety.
‘If you are out more than this then you should
get a dog sitter or walker, or you could also
consider doggy day care.’
Another way of helping prevent undesirable
behaviour is through the use of ‘enrichment’ toys,
as Hanne explains.
‘Puzzle feeders, where the pet has to work to get
their food, are great as they reinforce licking,
chewing and biting, which reduces barking and
‘Try to avoid leaving the same toys out every day
though, as they will get bored and look for other
things to do.’
Some other ideas to consider:
Leave the radio or TV on so they can hear voices.
Exercise them before you leave the house if you
can, so they’re tired and are more likely to sleep
while you’re out.
Install a camera where you can see your pet and
where they can hear and see you. This can be done
through your phone. Try www.petchatz.com or
www.petcube.com.

CHOCS AWAY!
Want to make something
special this Easter?
Why not make your
own chocolate?
26 / Tring Living www.livingmags.info
FEATURE: EASTER CHOCOLATE
It’s Easter, which means – among many other
things – chocolate of course!
The shops are over-run with chocolate eggs
of all shapes and sizes, but if you really want to
give someone something special, why not give
them their very own personalised chocolate
made with your own fair hands?
We decided to test out a chocolate making
workshop. Here’s how our Editor Clare Swatman
got on...
I love a bit of chocolate – dark, milk, white, it
doesn’t really matter. My kids are even worse; I
can get them to do most things with the lure of a
Lindor ball.
So when I told them I was going to try out a
chocolate-making workshop, there were cries of
‘that‘s not fair!’ and ‘can we come?’
Well, the answer was no – because this was
work!
Kirsty Stickland runs The Choccie Drop,
which holds workshops for adults as well as
kids parties. As it was January and there wasn’t
much call for chocolate workshops so soon after
Christmas, I went along to a children’s party to
see what they got up to.
When I arrived Kirsty was tempering the milk
chocolate. She explained: ‘This means heating it
up to 45C and then cooling it under controlled
conditions to between 30C and 31C. This helps
to avoid the white bloom you sometimes get on
chocolate, and it snaps better.’
Once the chocolate was at the right
temperature it was set in the middle of the
table and we got to work. First, we made lollies
by piping a circle of chocolate on to an edible
transfer, and then decorating with chocolate
balls, chocolate flakes, honeycomb and sprinkles.
We made four each – I’m amazed how creative
some of the girls were. I’m not sure mine were
quite as exciting, but I knew my kids would be
impressed.
Next we made chocolate-covered honeycomb,
fudge and marshmallow chunks, which involved
dipping the chunks into the chocolate and
carefully removing them with a special fork.
It was pretty messy and mine didn’t look
particularly professional, but they tasted
delicious.
While these all set, Kirsty told everyone the
‘bean to bar’ story, about how the cocoa bean
became this gorgeous sweet treat that everyone
loves. It’s a great addition to the workshop.
Then it was time for me to head home with
my handmade chocolates. I was actually quite
impressed with how nice the lollies looked – the
transfer on the back was great!
The workshops for adults are similar, except
you get to make slightly more complicated treats,
such as salted caramel truffles, and at Easter
Kirsty helps you make your own Easter eggs. The
best bit is that everything you make you take
home with you in lovely gift wrapping.
If you fancy something different this Easter, I’d
recommend this. It’s great fun, gives you a real
sense of achievement, and you learn a new skill.
Kirsty runs regular workshops, and you can
also book private group sessions. For more
information go to www.thechocciedrop.co.uk.

OUT AND
ABOUT
Get fit and stimulate your mind at the same time –
why exercising outdoors is so good for you
If you’ve ever been for a long country walk
you’ll know how satisfied you feel when you
get home. That’s because exercising outdoors
can have huge benefits both physically and
mentally.
Sadly though, most Brits don’t get nearly as
much time outside as they’d like. A recent survey
by environmental group LEAF revealed we
spend 142 hours every week indoors – that’s 53
years of the average lifespan!
‘Getting outside to exercise has so many
benefits,’ explains Tring-based personal trainer
Adele Lambert.
‘It gives your body a much more thorough
workout. Different terrains and inclines challenge
your body and help work your core, while you’re
also more mentally stimulated as you have to be
more aware of your surroundings. You may also
have to work hard against wind resistance, rain,
or extreme cold or heat’, says Adele.
Use a variety of equipment to vary your workout
even more. ‘Try tricep dips or step-ups on a bench,
push-ups against a lamppost, or pull-ups using a
strong tree branch,’ suggests Adele.
Being out in the fresh air among nature can also
have enormous benefits on our emotional
wellbeing, as it releases endorphins (the feel good
hormones), which can reduce anxiety and stress.
We’re lucky to be surrounded by beautiful and
easily-accessible countryside, so here are some
ideas to help you make the most of it.
Walking/hiking
There are so many amazing walking routes round
here; we feature a new walking route every issue
so visit the website to find those, or buy a walking
map and plot out a route. Walking is a great,
low-impact way of getting fit outside.

WALKS
Photographs © George Edwards
This issue’s featured walk starts either in Tring,
for the more energetic of us (6.7 miles/10.8km),
or from the highest point in Hertfordshire (800ft
or 244m), Pavis Woods in Hastoe, for the shorter,
circular route (3.2 miles/5.1km). The walk includes
an area with a regular carpet of bluebells during
April/May and passes along parts of the Ridgeway,
Chiltern Way and Grim’s Ditch. Those starting in
Tring will see excellent views over the town itself,
Tring Park and Aylesbury Vale during their ascent
to Pavis Woods. There is also a rather
extraordinary opportunity to see some dinosaurs
and perhaps a fairy garden! Refreshments are to be
found at various places in Tring – see our website
www.livingmags.info for full directions.
The hamlet of Hastoe dates back to the 13th
century when it was known as Halstowe or
Halstoe. Grim’s Ditch, an Iron Age structure built
around 300 BC, passes close by and is a series of
linear earthworks thought to be a set of local
boundaries once used to control the movement of
cattle and carts. The walk also uses part of the
Ridgeway, an 87 mile route used since prehistoric
times by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers from
Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon.
In the 13th century the manor of Hastoe was
conveyed to Ralph le Clerk of Tring by Thomas de
Northwode. During the 14th century the land
came into the possession of the Verney family and
the manor was annexed to the manor of Bunstreux
and Richardyns.
During the 19th century Hastoe, like Tring,
became closely associated with the Rothschild
family. Nathan Rothschild had begun to rent land
and properties in the area as early as 1833,
including Hastoe House, a large property close to
the walk route (on the track from Gadmore Lane
towards Grove Wood). Later, Hastoe came into the
hands of Nathan’s son Lionel de Rothschild at
auction in 1872. Many of the buildings in Hastoe
were built by the Rothschilds and have the
familiar Rothschild style; some following the
demolition of earlier properties, such as the Hastoe
Brewery in 1882.
Also built by the Rothschilds was a corn mill,
which burned down in 1964, farm buildings and

workers’ cottages. Most were in Church Lane in
which the Rothschilds had built an imposing
village hall in 1898, the Hastoe Room and, next
door to it, a Chapel (hence ‘Church Lane’).
The village hall is endowed in trust by the
Rothschild family. It was the subject of a major
restoration in 2010 before being reopened by Lord
Rothschild in November 2012, and now hosts a
range of activities and events – see www.
hastoevillagehall.co.uk
Pavis Woods, the starting point of this issue’s
walk, is now managed by the Berkshire,
Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trusts
– www.bbowt.org.uk/nature-reserves/dancersendpavis-woods
It is 35 hectares of mature beech
woodland, scrub and, more recently, planted
woodland on the steep scarp facing Dancersend.
There are old boundary trees and patches of wych
elm and hornbeam. In spring chiffchaffs return to
nest and bluebells flourish. There are also many
marl pits, and saw pits, showing that humans were
constantly working this landscape, while the bank
and ditch boundaries of three parishes can be
traced through the woods.

THE
GOOD
LIFE
It can be fun to grow your own fruit and veg –
whatever outside space you have
Whether it’s to have fun with the kids, to save
money, or just for the hell of it, a new
survey by Appliances Direct reveals that more
than half of us Brits have grown our own fruit and
veg at some point.
If you fancy giving it a go but are worried you
don’t have enough space, or don’t know where to
start, here’s our beginner’s guide to turning (some
of) your outside space into a food patch.
Windowsill
If you really are limited for space, don’t despair –
you can still have a go at growing something!
Choose a nice bright, sunny windowsill with at
least five hours of sun a day. Next, choose the biggest
pots you can fit on there – any container will do as
long as it’s big enough; try wooden boxes or metal tins.
For salad leaves, such as rocket or baby spinach,
your pot will need to be at least 20cm deep and
15cm across. Carrots and beans need at least 30cm
depth. Beans will also need a cane to grow up.
Pack the bottom of the pot with stones and
pebbles for drainage, then add compost. Plant your
seeds and then water at least every couple of days,
feed every couple of weeks, and wait!
and therefore choice. Follow the same instructions
as above.
Alternatively, you can buy some growing bags.
You can grow carrots, courgettes or green beans in
a bag in the same way as pots, and keep well watered.
Small garden
For small gardens, again either stick to pots and
bags or choose a section to plant in. Choose the
sunniest spot, then dig it over, removing weeds
and as many stones as you can. Make sure you dig
at least one spade-depth down, then add compost
and dig it through.
Plants need enough space to grow, so don’t be
tempted to overplant or nothing will grow. For
example, a row of salad leaves needs at least 20cm
around it and be spaced at least 10cm apart, carrots
need 35cm between rows, while courgettes will
need up to a metre around each plant – they’ll soon
fill the space!
If you fancy growing beans then plant near a
wall or fence, so you can train them up using canes
or a trellis which should be at least 2m high. Most
varieties don’t need feeding if you’ve used
compost.
Balcony
If you have a small outside area, such as a balcony
or a roof terrace, you’ll still need to grow your fruit
and veg in pots, but you’ll have a bit more space
What should I grow?
This is partly down to personal taste, of course, but
some vegetables and fruits are easier to grow than
others. Try these to start with:
36 / Tring Living www.livingmags.info
GARDENS
Salad leaves
Salad leaves, such as spinach, grow easily. Sow
them in the summer and harvest them a few
weeks later. Loose leaf varieties grow quicker than
hearted lettuces.
Radishes
Radishes are really simple. Plant at least four weeks
after the last frost and harvest a month later.
Potatoes
Potatoes will grow anywhere – you can even grow
them in a bag or bucket. Simply half-fill the bag or
pot then plant the potatoes with eyes. When they
start to shoot, cover the shoots with more compost
and keep watering them. Repeat while the foliage
grows, and once the foliage dies back – usually
about a month after planting – they’re ready to eat.
Peas
Sow between March and April and harvest them
two to three months later. They’ll need to be
supported by canes, but they do grow easily and
taste delicious!
Spring onions
These are harvested eight weeks or so after sowing
and can be grown in the ground or in pots.
Broad beans
These need to be sown early, ideally between
December and March, and are picked from June
onwards. Sow them into pots until they turn to
seedlings which can take around two to three
weeks, or plant them straight out. When they’re
about 3” tall, pinch off the top leaves to encourage
more growth.
Runner beans
If you have enough space, runner beans will
give you a good crop. Sow them between April
and July, and pick two months later. They’ll need
to be trained up a cane or a wall, and make sure
you pick them when they’re ready as they’ll
keep coming!
Onions and garlic
Super-easy, even if you’re really short of space!
Plant these in the spring to harvest in late autumn.
They’re ready to pick when the foliage dies back
and will keep for months, dried out and stored in a
cupboard.
Tomatoes
These are great to grow with kids, as they love
picking the super-sweet tomatoes from the vine.
Plant between February and April, either in pots,
bags or even hanging baskets if you have a small
variety. Just keep them regularly watered for a
bumper crop.
Courgettes
Sow seeds indoors from the end of April, ideally
under glass or plastic. Plant seedlings outside from
late May in pots or the garden but leave them
plenty of space – around a metre all round or one
seedling per pot. Plant into holes filled with
compost and sprinkled with fertiliser. Water
regularly, feed every 10-14 days once the fruits
start to develop and pick regularly to ensure a
regular crop – when they’re around 10cm long.
You should get courgettes every week from July.
Strawberries
These can be planted in pots, the ground or
hanging baskets. Line a 35cm basket with
polythene and add some drainage holes, then add
compost. Plant in four strawberry plants and water
well. Hang in a warm, sunny spot, and feed once
the flowers start to appear. Strawberries should
begin to grow after around six weeks.
Top three rules
• Pick a sunny spot – at least five hours of
sun a day
• Make sure you give the plants enough
space to grow
• Water, water, water!

[In Alison’s hands]
these publications
can only go
from strength to
strength!
Sallie April 2018
The Living magazine
is a great way to find
out what’s going
on locally. I bought
a necklace from
Maggie J Jewellers
after seeing it in an
issue of Tring Living,
it’s packed with
great content.
Dee June 2018
Great magazines - I’ve been receiving either
Tring or Berkhamsted Living in all my years in
the area and find them so useful! In my work
life I’ve placed advertisements, had leaflets
inserted and secured editorial coverage for
several different clients. The Living Magazines
team are a total pleasure to work with -
supporting local businesses and a key part of
our local community themselves.
Thanks Alison and colleagues!

Jonathan November
2018
I’ve worked with Alison Page Marketing
frequently over the last ten years. This year
I’m delighted to be undertaking my first
ever printed adverts with Living Magazines.
With a new programme of gardening &
craft workshops coming up in 2019 Living
Magazines will connect me with a new local &
regional audience. Thanks Alison for your help
with putting the advert together.

WHY OUR READERS LOVE
LIVING MAGAZINES
I read the magazine
while staying
with my sister
at Cowroast, Nr
Tring and was
looking through
the magazine for
local attractions
and places to visit.
Will definitely get
my sister to pass her
next copy on to me.
Wendy February
2019
A rare gem of a
local magazine that
is worth reading!
Great balance of
interesting articles
and useful local
information. There’s
always something
that catches my
eye to buy in the
shopping section or
a cafe or restaurant
that I have to try
after reading a
review. Long may
it continue to
pop through my
letterbox!
Abi September 2018
Great Christmas
