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

cards.

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

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

Chewbacca filming on set (yes, the real one).

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

for a new hospital in the Kings Langley area, but

you see out of place to the police (call 101 non

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.

The cakes

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!

BOOKS

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.

If you prefer to walk with others, you could join

one of these groups...

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!

Charlotte November 2018

SUMMER 2019 BOOKING DEADLINE 25 APRIL. TO ADVERTISE CALL 01442 824300

Emily January 2019

Helen January 2019

Fab magazine for

someone who likes

to know what’s

going on locally!

Anna November 2018

I enjoyed your last

issue being a Berko

resident!

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.

Helen Reely of Helen Reeley Gardens Feb 2019

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

issue of Tring Living!
