Dear Readers

On our 6th birthday edition, I’d like to thank all of you who have stuck with us over the years, and also for the many suggestions and even sometimes compliments (!) we’ve received during that time. We’re proud to have been publishing this little glossy magazine to you all and hope you still find it useful and entertaining.

So lots lined up for you in this edition with a plethora of new advertisers in the magazine (and don’t forget they also appear on our website too), with APW Letting Agents, Home Instead Senior Care, Solar Panel suppliers, Dog Walkers, Kitchen Designers, etc. etc. and we’re delighted to welcome them to the magazine.

In addition, we have lots of helpful articles starting with APW on the Lettings market in the area, Smith Pearman on Tax Efficient Classic Cars, Gardening tips by Pippa Greenwood and recommended books for the children over the summer hols. Also, lots going on in the community in August & September, e.g. the West Horsley Summer Fete on 10 and the Fun Run on September 25th. Or how about a spot of Geocaching with the whole family taking part! No, I had never heard of it before either, but you can read all about it now on 9.

Well summer is with us but as I write this, all I can actually see is rain, but let’s hope that’s temporary and by the time you read this we are bathed in sunshine once again. I’d like to wish you all a wonderful summer. With October/November edition coming up fast too, if you have anything happening in the community that you would like others to know about, or have a comment to make about the magazine, please send it through. I’m always happy to hear from you. Take care!

Exceptional ServiceExceptional Care

Multi award winning APW is delighted to

introduce its Cobham Office to all readers

of the Horsley Directory. Established in

1986, APW is celebrating 25 years of

successful trading in 2011 and would like

to invite prospective Landlords to contact

the APW Cobham team for a free Market

Appraisal of their property.

Natasha Howard,

Branch Manager APW

Cobham said, “We have

a particular interest in

each of the areas

covered by The Horsley

Directory and have

been successfully letting

properties within these

locations for the past year. We have a strong

and established database of quality private and

corporate tenants who have identified the

desirability of these villages combined with the

accessibility of transport links and we would

very much like to hear from existing and

prospective Landlords who are considering

letting their properties. APW is renowned for its

exceptional service and its exceptional customer

care, a reputation which is completely client

driven.”

Beverley Whitely, Assistant Manager APW

Cobham said, “We are ARLA members and

each of our staff is highly

trained to assist in every

aspect of the lettings

process, including legalities.

We focus 100% on lettings

and property management

with no distractions.”

Tracy Wright, Property

Manager APW Cobham said,

“Our service is built around

knowledge, trust, courtesy

and speed of action. We

provide a personal service

with the Landlord and Tenant speaking to the

same person throughout the tenancy period.

Many agents provide their property

management services through a central call

centre. We don’t agree with this technique and

our clients much prefer talking to a

knowledgeable person who has the time and

experience to help them.”

If you would like to discuss letting your propertywith the experts, please contact a member of theAPW team without delay on 01932 860900 oremail [email protected] ~ we will behappy to help you.

How to make Stone-henge out of Biscuits by Tracey Turner and Clive Goddard A brilliantly creative assembly of ideas to keep the little ones out of mischief, not just through the summer, but every day of the year. From fun activities such as making invisible ink to more edu-cational chal-lenges such as the Kings and Queens quiz.

Where’s Wally? The Totally Essen-tial Travel Collection by Martin Handford This is perfect for whil-ing away the hours, with seven classic ‘Where’s Wally’ books crammed into one handy travel-sized edi-tion. See if you can find Wally any quicker than the kids!

A Year without Au-tumn by Liz Kessler This new title is a compelling read for girls aged 9+, manag-ing to be heart-felt and humorous at the same time. Jenni Green finds herself travelling one year ahead in time only to discover that tragedy has struck and every-thing has changed for her friend Autumn. But can she travel back and change what lies ahead? A beautifully written title that’s sure to be a favourite.

Yoga Pretzels: 50 Fun Yoga Activities for Kids and Grown-ups by Tara Guber, Leah Kalish and Sophie Fatus Although not strictly a book, this was too good to leave out. Introducing basic yoga

for adults and children, these well-illustrated poses are well explained and great fun too. Stretch and bend in ways you never thought pos-sible with this

fantastic set of cards.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney Greg Heffley is starting a new year at a new school, with older, taller, meaner pupils for company. Along with his best friend, our wimpy kid details his daily battle for popular-ity. Perfect for reluctant readers, this series has become a huge hit with school children of all ages.

The Anti-Colour-ing Book by Susan Striker and Ed-ward Kimmel For creative little minds, this is a must-have, packed with ideas and inspiration to encourage chil-dren to expand their minds and develop their artistic ability.

Ivan the Terrible by Anne Fine This brilliantly illustrat-ed book is about Boris who takes on the role of interpreter for Ivan, his new Russian classmate at school. Using the communication barrier and Ivan’s constant re-quirement for rude and worrying translations, Anne Fine incorporates start-to-finish laughs, making this a fantas-tically naughty and perfect read for boys.

You’re a bad man, Mr Gum! by Andy Stanton This fantastically funny book features miser-able old Mr Gum, who has to keep his garden tidy or he faces a wallop around the head from a grumpy fairy. Children and adults will love reading this hilarious tale that’s reminiscent of the legendary Roald Dahl.

Twilight by Stephe-nie Meyer If they have escaped the hype thus far, introduce your young teens to the fantastic Twilight series this summer. With a

gripping plot, in-triguing charac-ters and a bit of

romance thrown in, there’ll be no room for bore-dom.

1001 Holiday Things to Spot by Hazel Maskell and Teri Gower

This title features a number of holiday scenes including the airport, the sea, a theme park ride or the moun-tains. Each page is incredibly detailed and is packed full of things for children to find within the picture. A great way to familiarise children with places before you arrive and the perfect lead-up to eye-spy!

As the summer holidays stretch out, you’ll need plenty up your

sleeve to keep the kids busy. Here’s a selection of books that’ll

keep them entertained (and away from the TV/DS/Wii).


You might, quite possibly, not have heard of us but we have been doing our job of providing affordable housing for people of retirement age who have a connection with Effingham Village for the last 45 years.

It was the same story in 1966 as now. Housing was expensive in the south east and different generations of the same family were (or became) separated due to the necessities of modern life. If a village organisation could provide accommodation for ageing relatives to be nearer their children or allow older couples or single people to downsize their accommodation after their children have left home, it would reduce their outgoings and possibly release a big house for family occupation.

Sir Barnes Wallis was a resident of the village and together with others had this idea which also coincided with the Crossways buildings coming up for sale ,the danger was also seen that it could be sold to developers. These buildings included the Almshouses that had been re-built on earlier foundations in 1774, these are important buildings to the village and it was the first effort by the community to preserve the historic and beautiful centre of the village from possible development.

With a public call to action in the village, 60 donations were made to the Effingham Almshouse Appeal which started the process. Council grants were also obtained which were vital in the early days of the start-up. The whole ides was a very brave move by a group who believed in the project. The remainder of the purchase price money was raised by mortgage but with the high interest rates of the 70s the repayments nearly brought the whole Association down. It was always the idea, and a public meeting gave approval, that Crossways should be let at economic rents while the Almshouse rents would be reduced as much as possible by the gifts, loans and covenants made by the residents of the village. It is hard to believe that this building started as four family one room houses in

1774. The new association converted them into two bed sits which 10 years ago were further converted into a one bedroom flat and a separate office.

The original plan also proposed that the Almshouse gardens be made into a public garden for the village which the association to this day looks after at its own cost for anyone in the village to use .This area was once the village green.

It was another 20 years before the loans were repaid in full with the association now on a secure financial footing and able to invest in further properties. The build up of reserves in our finances funds the continuous maintenance of the buildings which we upgrade and improve with a long term eye. This ensures that the properties remain desirable accommodation for the future while maintaining the ancient character of the village centre near to the church.

To sum up in the words of the original committee; preservation is worthwhile for its own sake, but it is also in the best interests of those who live in the village.

Today all this is achieved by a small volunteer committee of local people who are proud of the 18 flats that we manage and let to local people. Our latest building project to convert the old doctors surgery will be completed by mid July and tenants move in on 1st August. We also have two properties available at this moment ready for tenants.

For information, please call 01372 456122

Effingham Housing AssociationAnother good Sir Barnes Wallis idea


10. In a girl’s room, suspending a corona over the bed, with some sheer curtains draped around, will go miles towards that fairytale room she’s always wanted.

11. Flower lights wrapped around the bedhead are a lovely touch, too. A boy might prefer camouflage netting or a giant map of the world on the wall behind the bed.

12. Create a fabulous display of pictures. Instead of dotting them around in an ad hoc fashion, frame them all the same and hang in orderly rows for super-duper impact.

13. Look at your light switches. If yours are of the bog-standard, white plastic type, check out the alternatives – stainless steel, nickel, chrome, brass, even ‘invisible’ acrylic, with a rocker, dolly or even neat little push button switch. The same goes for switch plates, TV aerial sockets, even shaver and electric toothbrush plates.

14. Do the same for door handles, blind and light pulls, cupboard and drawer pulls, and any other knobs or handles you can find. Substituting ordinary ones with something interesting, tactile and good-looking can make a world of difference.

15. Take down dodgy nets and preserve your privacy with stick-on plastic film instead. It’s easy to apply and much less expensive than having your windows sandblasted. Patterns range from lace to graphic spots.

20 Ways to get a fresh look for summerKatherine Sorrell

Want to give your home a quick, easy and inexpensive makeover for summer? Interiors expert Katherine Sorrell offers 20 inspiring solutions

1. Pop some fresh flowers in a vase. Even casual arrangements of garden flowers in a jam jar, milk bottle or enamel jug will brighten up all but the most formal of rooms.

2. Light a scented candle or line up a set of multicoloured tea lights.

3. Change your cushion covers. For the most up-to-date look, choose vivid but co-ordinating colours, in a variety of quirky patterns.

4. Disguise a tired sofa or a boring bed with a pretty throw.

5. Replace dated lampshades or light fittings. So quick, easy and cheap, there’s no excuse not to.

6. While you’re at it, check that your light bulbs are the right wattage for the room – there’s nothing worse than poorly lit rooms, or ones that are so dazzling they look like a lamp shop.

7. Use paint to transform your home from top to bottom. Floors, walls, window frames, skirtings, shelves, free-standing furniture and even kitchen and bathroom tiles can all be refreshed and revived with a lick of paint.

8. Flooring sets the tone for any room, and if your carpet is looking tired, you’ll be amazed at the effect a change can have. One option is to remove the carpet entirely and renovate the boards beneath. To strip away old stains or surface coatings, hire a professional sanding machine and follow the instructions carefully, before sealing, staining, liming, waxing, bleaching or painting.

9. Adding or replacing a rug is another instant way to change the look of your floor. Think bold texture, pattern or colour.

16. Flouncy, fussy curtains have to go. Replace with simpler versions (no pelmets, thanks). Practically every high-street store has ready-made curtains at reasonable prices.

17. New bath and basin taps will go a long way towards giving your bathroom extra pizzazz. Replacing them is a doddle for a plumber (or even a DIY dad).

18. The most ugly-duckling bathroom can be turned into a beautiful swan with the right towels. Soft, neutral colours have a timeless look, while bold patterns are of the moment.

19. The latest look for walls is to use specially designed stickers to create a graphic, funky pattern. Just peel and position for an instant new look.

20. Last but by no means least, clean your windows – it really will add a sparkle to the room.

Grace & Flavour, the community vegetable-growingco-operative at Dene Place, Ripley Lane

It has been a busy old time at the Grace & Flavour garden. A lot is going well – we have good crops again this year and the members are making great progress on both site development and gardening. The allotments, an adjacent project of private plots, are quite something to see- from nothing in April, the land is covered in healthy plants, also producing plentiful crops.

As our local community have become more aware of us, we have started to take a more central role in the village – we ‘tithe’ 10% of our vegetables to those in our community who do not have easy access to fresh veg, and the demand for that is much increased this year. We have also been involved with West Horsley in Bloom’s children’s scarecrow competition, and – as I write – we have just had a weekend of first aid training courses from Effingham’s Community First Responders, a division of St John Ambulance volunteers whose aim it is to get to you as fast as humanly possible if you are unlucky enough to have an accident or emergency.

We have also had the most amazing support from local businesses. Not only this publication but other local companies such as Tozer Seeds, Squires, Challenge Fencing, and most recently Environet (who cleared our Japanese Knotweed), - all have helped us to build a strong and solid foundation for G&F.

All that said, this is a long term project with a 25 year lease so whilst we can be proud of what has been achieved so far, we must focus on making sure that G&F is sustainable in its own right – and that has been occupying quite a lot of our time recently...

Membership is key! We have over 90 active members, of whom fifty-something pitch up in any given month. As you would expect, about half of those are the core members who give huge chunks of their free time to the project. We have lots to do to attract even more of you into this garden, for as few or as many hours as you would like. We try to do that by communicating how much fun it is and how good for you – not just in terms of the fresh air and the exercise but also in the freshness and goodness of the food we produce, and the way it which it connects you with your neighbours. It can be the case that organisations become a bit ‘cliquey’, sometimes showing an unwelcoming face to the newcomer but I am confident that that is never so at G&F.

There’s a lot involved in getting things ‘right: planting the right things, growing enough to meet demand, taking care of the soil, building the project out and funding the whole thing properly - but members are the single most important element, of that we have little doubt. That’s one of the reasons why you can be confident of a warm welcome when you come to join or to visit.

The costs of running andmaintaining a classic car canbe high. However, where yourcompany owns the vehicle, itcan claim these costs againstits Corporation Tax bill, butthis will mean a tax chargefor you under the ‘benefit-in-kind’ (BiK) rules.

How can you minimise this?.

The Taxman defines classic cars as thosethat are:

• At least 15 years old (from the original date of registration); and

• Have a market value of at least £15,000. Such vehicles are taxed on their market value.

However, the definition of a tax-efficientclassic car is one that is more than 15years old but whose current marketvalue is less than £15,000. For example, a1963 MGB Roadster that originally cost£500 which now has a market value of£8,000.

Most company cars, are subject to a BiKtax charge based on the CO2 emissionsrating of the car together with its original list price. However, most classiccars don’t have an emissions rating andso an alternative method of calculatingthe BiK must be used.

The percentage of list price used to calculate the benefit will instead bebased on the engine size: less than1,400cc – 15%; between 1,400cc and2,000cc – 25%; and more than 2,000cc –35%. For example, the MGB roadster has a 1,600cc engine so the benefit is25% of list price.

However, it’s the original list price thatyou use, not the classic car’s currentmarket value.The MGB roadster onlycost £500 back in 1963 so the taxablebenefit is just 25% of this figure, i.e. £125(£500 x 25%).As a 50% taxpayer yourincome tax bill is only £62. 50 (£125 x50%) and the company pays employers’Class 1A NI of £17.25 (£125 x 13.8%).

If your classic car is worth more than£15,000 at the beginning of a next taxyear and is also more than 15 years oldon that date, the taxable benefit is calculated on its market value ratherthan the original price. Keep an eye onthe car’s market value to make sureyou don’t get a nasty tax surprise.

In Summary

The taxable car benefit is worked outfrom the original price of a classic carwhere it’s worth less than £15,000.For example with an original cost of£500, your tax bill is only £50; plus, the company picks up the tab for the running costs.

If you require advice as to the taxconsequences of purchasing a particularcar, or want advice on the best way to finance this, please contact Smith Pearman on 01483 225457.

Cars To Enjoy In Your Retirement

You’ve worked hard, looked after the pennies and sacrificed your preferred choice of wheels for family cars. However,

things are different now: the children have flown the nest, you’ve got time on your hands and more importantly more cash, so why not treat yourself to a new set of wheels?

Retirement is the perfect time to take advantage of lower insurance premiums and empty roads (everyone else is at work), but the hard part is what to choose. Here we take a look at five cars to suit five different needs…

The Grandparents Called Into Duty choice… Audi Q7Our pick: 3.0 TDI Clean Diesel S Line, £47,290A large part of enjoying retirement is the luxury of having time to lend a hand looking after your grandchildren. The thing is, little ones come with a lot of baggage, so you’ll need a car that can fit it all in. The Q7 is a great solution. Not only has it got acres of spaces, efficient diesel engine choices and a great specification, it’s also fabulous to drive.

The I’ve Got A Reputation To Uphold choice… BMW 5-SeriesOur pick: 520d SE Touring, £31,830The new 5 Series is a marked improvement on the out-going model. It not only looks better now the design has been toned down, but the engines are even more efficient. If you’ve spent your life in the boardroom, you’ll know how good a BMW is and there’s no reason you shouldn’t enjoy a new one now. We’d go for the Touring (estate) version, which looks stunning and has plenty of room too. Just don’t go mad on the options list!

The I’ve Got To Have A Sportscar choice… Jaguar XKROur pick: XKR Coupe, £77,900You’ve worked hard for it, so why not splash the

cash on something that’ll make an impression at the golf club? We’d resist the urge to buy a Porsche 911 (despite the force being strong) and instead head for a Jag dealership. The XK-R is a cracking car to look at, great to drive and sounds incredible, but above all it’s comfortable. If you really want to blow the budget, find another £6k and opt for the convertible.

The Keeping An Eye On The Pennies choice… Hyundai ix35Our pick: 1.7 CRDI Premium, £19,345 If you’re looking for a car that’s good to drive, comfortable, won’t cost the earth and has a decent warranty, then the ix35 is a great option. Hyundai has really upped its game with this soft-roader in terms of build quality and feel. It looks great and the high-level driving position gives a commanding view of the road. Just beware lead times are long so get that order in well before you want to take delivery.

The Chance To Relive Your Youth choice… VW Golf GTIOur pick: GTI, £25,045The Golf GTI has been a fixture in most of our motoring lives for decades, but we’d hazard a guess that although you always wanted one, it never really fit in with your lifestyle. Well, now’s your chance. The MK6 is the latest version and even though it’s put on a few pounds since the legendary MK1 arrived it’s still very good indeed. The 2.0-litre TSI lump serves up 207bhp, which is good for 60mph in 6.9 seconds and, as it’s built by Germans, it’ll stay the course too.

But there is a way to convince the whole family out of the house with an electronic device whilst enjoying a good walk or bike ride in the countryside: Geocach-ing. This involves tracking down hidden items, or caches, with a GPS device and recording your find. You log-on to the Internet to find the coordinates of the cache, and then use your eyes to locate its exact whereabouts – like a good old-fashioned treasure hunt. Look online and you’ll find videos of cleverly hidden caches – inside sawn-up logs in forests, stuck-up pipes by rivers and even stuffed in plastic bricks as part of the wall of a disused building. They’re usually made up of a logbook sealed in a plastic box or ammo-case, along with small trinkets to keep or swap for something of similar value, and are always found outdoors. And if you’re really lucky, you might come across a “trackable” – a numbered coin or dogtag that’s moved from cache to cache. Each time it is moved, its serial number is logged on-line so it can be tracked. Bought online for a couple of pounds, some have been known to travel more than 10,000 miles over 3 continents.

Fancy a fun-filled activity all the Family can enjoy? Then give Geocaching a try.

“Why don’t you switch off your TV set and go and do something less boring instead?” was the irritatingly catchy theme-tune from popular children’s television show “Why Don’t You?” Nowadays, “TV” would have to be replaced with Games-console/Laptop/Mobile phone or the latest must-have electronic gadget we can’t live without.

Geocaching started in the US after early GPS-enthusiast Dave Ulmer planted a bucket filled with videos, books, software and a slingshot, together with a logbook and pencil, in woods near his house. After posting the coordinates online on May 3rd 2000, his package was found twice within two days after word spread rapidly among the online community.

The official Geocaching website launched in September 2000 with the coordinates for 75 caches across the world listed on it. The craze soon took-off and today there are over 1.3m caches hidden in over 100 countries across the globe, with 5 million registered users.

And it’s really simple to start Geocaching – just create a free membership on www.geocaching.com, type in your postcode to find caches near you, invest in a GPS device or mobile phone with GPS capability and that’s it, you’re ready. Most GPS devices take you within 6-20

feet of the object so be prepared to spend a while looking for the cache when you arrive there - this is the bit that the kids always love the best. And remember to always respect the countryside where the cache is found – don’t leave litter or damage the environment.

So for a fantastic family day out that doesn’t cost a fortune, often set in stunning countryside, why don’t you give Geo-caching a go? It’s certainly less boring than watching TV. Be careful of Muggles near a cache though – Muggles are non-geocachers who are sometimes near caches, such as people innocently walking their dog. Cachers try not to reveal what they’re doing to Muggles!

Next month, read about some real Geocaching experiences.

During the course of the school year you sort of become used to the fact that the hems of his trousers are gradually creeping further and further up his calf, that the toes of his trainers are getting lumpier and lumpier, that his midriff is no longer reliably covered by the ever-shortening tails of his school shirt.

But as the school holidays draw gratefully to a close you realise with a jolt that his uniform is no longer even decent, and that he needs a whole new set of schmutter. This is even more of a jolt if you have a daughter – you can’t send her back to school looking like a low-rent Britney Spears - and so September becomes the Month of the Ordeal of Shopping for School.

This used to be the one time of year when Good Old Woolie’s was indeed a Wonder. It sold not only the necessary clobber but also the new geometry set and calculator and ring-binders and all the other bits and pieces that seemed to need replacing every time they had to go back to school. Now I have found other shops that obligingly provide under one roof the same cornucopia of education-related items that Woolworth used to do, but the shock of the loss of Woolie’s jerked me out of my habituated take-it-for-granted complacency and I found myself becoming increasingly enraged by the need to source an entire suite of new stuff every year.

Nevertheless, kids grow; and as a parent you’re faced with two choices every time September comes round: either buy cheap stuff that may or may not last the year, or buy

September, and it’s back to school time. And it’s every September that we’re reminded of the brutal truth that children grow.

expensive stuff that they’re going to grow out of well before it wears out. The former is the obvious choice and if, by the time July rolls round, they look like junior Worzel Gummidges – well, they won’t have to put up with it for long.

But something inside me says that the cheap stuff is lovingly hand-stitched by six-year-olds in Indonesian sweatshops for 10p a day plus a handful of rice on alternate Thursdays, and my conscience just won’t let me do it. So I go for the nice stuff, and drain the bitter cup of resentful fury at having to ditch perfectly good clobber every July and replace it in September.Now, though, a new initiative is off the ground in my home town. It’s called BootXchange, and it’s a simple trade-in system: you hand in last year’s slightly worn

but still perfectly good high-end brand-name sports shoes plus a £5 administration fee, and in return you receive the hand-me-downs from the next generation up. They’ve only been worn once a week for 20 or 30 weeks and, being quality gear, they still have at least two seasons wear in them. Voila – new boots for a fiver.

This is a good scheme and should be expanded to other school clothing. Actually, you can hand in

the kids’ outgrown sweatshirts and stuff and they will indeed be passed on to the less well-off kids whose folks can’t afford new. At present there’s a stigma attached to second-hand clothes but now we’re all poor, our attitudes should change and we should see it as straightforward and indeed praiseworthy September thrift.

In fact I propose to take it a step further. Now I’ve reached a certain age I’m going to start a TrouserXchange scheme, where I can hand in my desperately-clinging-on-to-youth jeans and accept instead a couple of pairs of the high-waist cavalry twill slacks that are appropriate to my years.

Oh, and I’ll be exchanging all my Ben Sherman polo shirts for a drawer full of cardies.

Shopping for School


Although most people have good intentions when it comes to being ‘green’, any incentive that ties an environmental initiative with

a way of saving money is much more likely to turn those intentions into action. With the April 2010 introduction of a government scheme called FITs, solar power is exactly that combination and has become very popular over the last year. If you are wondering if solar energy could be a good choice for you, here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions.

What are the basic requirements for solar panels?The main requirement – rather obviously – is that the panels have maximum exposure to light. They are generally put on the roof because they won’t be blocked by objects, trees and other buildings. The roof should ideally be south facing and although it is possible to use a roof that’s between due east and south, or between due west and south, the further away from true south you are, the less output you are likely to achieve. Solar panels need light so less electricity will be generated on shorter winter days and although they will work on cloudy days, the performance will be reduced compared to a sunny day.

Finally, although the north of the country naturally receives less sunshine than the south, they do have longer days in the summer. The north won’t be able to benefit quite as much as the south but it is still worthwhile.

Can I cut my electricity bill to zero?Perhaps one of the prime misconceptions about solar energy is that you will no longer have an electricity bill. Unfortunately this is not true as you will not be generating energy when it is dark, yet are still likely to be using it with your television, computers and even the fridge and kettle. Most domestic installations have little or no capacity to store electricity.

It is recommended therefore that you make use of your electrical appliances during the day so you are using your own generated electricity rather than having to take power from the national grid which will be charged to your usual bill. For example you would use your washing machine, tumble dryer,

dishwasher and possibly the oven in the daytime rather than the evening.

What’s the government’s incentive scheme?The government’s Feed-in Tariff (FITs) scheme became available in the UK (except Northern Ireland) in April 2010. The scheme guarantees a minimum payment for all electricity generated (the generation tariff) whether you are using it for yourself or not. Then there’s an additional payment (export tariff) for the electricity exported to the National Grid. Tariffs are even index-linked so the income will hold its value for the entire life of your system.

The total amount of electricity generated is measured by a meter in your property. But measuring the amount of electricity you are exporting to the grid is usually either not possible or not financially viable (for domestic installations) so in most cases it is assumed that you are exporting 50% of all electricity you generate and your payment will be based on that.

How much can I save?The Energy Saving Trust gives the following example of potential cost savings (per annum):Generation tariff £770Export tariff £30Reduction in current electricity bills £120TOTAL £920.Installation size of 2.2kWp. Based on a tariff rate of 41.3p/kWp, export rate of 3p.

This is a great return on your investment (typically 8 – 12%) and certainly higher than most savings plans. Of course the one little caveat here is that you no longer have your capital sum to draw on if money is a bit tight. You will have increased the value of your property, but it is unlikely you will want to sell up just to tide you over a short term budget shortfall.

Solar PowerHot idea or hot air?


You will have increased the value of your property, but it is unlikely you will want to sell up just to tide you over a short term budget shortfall.

What about water heating?If your water is usually stored in a cylinder and is heated by either electricity or gas, you could also benefit from installing a second type of solar panel which heats water. Unlike electricity which is difficult to store, storing heat is much easier and it’s likely you already do this anyway so that you can always have hot water on demand. You will need some checks made on your home water heating arrangements to see if it would be suitable.

Could I change my heating system over to solar?In theory yes, in practice no. The times when you need your heating are in the winter – less light – and at night – no light. If it’s a bright sunny day between May and September it’s unlikely that you will be running your heating.

What are the costs?Like any property improvement it does depends on a number of factors. If you are installing panels on a two bedroom home, it’s going to be a lot less

expensive than equipping a mansion. A bungalow – if suitable – may be a lower cost as the scaffolding requirement will be less. But a budget of between £4,000 and £14,000 will cover most standard domestic installations.

How do I choose who to do my installation for me?As with any other significant property work, choose a reputable company and preferably a local one. Ensure you have carried out some basic research on the technology before you invite a company to quote so that you can gauge if they are knowledgeable and that the potential returns aren’t being exaggerated. Ask for references from other customers in the area.

Finally look for accreditations. MCS is a quality assurance scheme which demonstrates that the company is committed to meeting rigorous and tested standards and The REAL (Renewable Energy Assurance Ltd) Scheme is a sign that the company has agreed to abide by high standards set out in the REAL consumer code. And ensure your installer is approved within the UK Microgeneration Scheme.

Collected Short Stories by Roald Dahl A complete collection of dark, twisted and fantastically written short stories, this is perfect for teenagers and adults. With over fifty lingering tales, this book contains favourites such as ‘Lamb to the Slaughter’, where a guilty wife attempts to conceal the murder of her husband by feeding the only evidence to the police. Genius!

Sleep by Roddy Doyle For an introduction to this charming Irish writer, Sleep is a lovely text, in which a husband admires his sleeping wife and reflects upon his life with her. Despite the brevity of the tale, Doyle develops strong characters, combining context with emotion to create a softness and affection which is incredible touching.

The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad Although this is more of a novella, it is one of the greatest short stories: dark, captivating and with a

torrent of hidden meaning flowing beneath the surface. Beautifully written and darkly magical, it’s a must-read.

The Metamorphosis by Franz KafkaThis wonderful story tells the tale of Gregor Samsa, who one day wakes up to find that he has turned into an insect. Exploring the themes of man and the natural world, alienation and morality, this tale is darkly funny and brilliantly written.

The Bottle Imp by Robert Louis StevensonThe Bottle Imp can grant any wish, but with a chilling caveat: die with it in

your possession and your soul will burn in hell for eternity (not a happy thought) - and the bottle can only be sold for less than the purchase price. When Keawe finds himself in desperate need of the bottle, he discovers it only to realise it has a sinister value of just one cent. This is suspense story-telling at its best.

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins GilmanThis is the brilliantly written account of postnatal depression in the Victorian era, recounting the decline of a young woman’s mental health and the lack of understanding from her family as she is imprisoned in a room of her house. Both sinister and desperately sad, this will grip any reader until the very

last line.

Oscar Wilde’s Stories for all Ages by Oscar Wilde and Stephen Fry

This wonderful collection com-bines some of the best tales of Oscar Wilde, presented in a beautifully illustrated book, featuring a foreword and introduction to each story by his biggest fan, Stephen Fry. For first time visitors to Wilde’s work, ‘The Selfish Giant’ is a must-read, telling the enchanting story of a giant who lives perpetually in Winter, until he allows chil-dren into his castle and his heart.

Want to read more but never seem able to find the time?Our collection of fantastic short story books features something for everyone – the perfect way to become involved in a high-impact or touching tale, when all you have is twenty minutes.

la Wildlife feby Pippa Greenwood

I’m the first to say that a garden consisting of only plants is a lost opportunity. No, I’m not suggesting you cram your garden

full of too much paving, decking, shingle or other hardware (and that includes well-dressed meerkats!) but as well as plants, you should encourage plenty of wildlife. Everyone has their favourites and some may even find some forms of wildlife less-than-appealing, but there’s no doubt that having wildlife in and around your plot will add an extra and very appealing dimension... literally bringing your garden to life.

Anything you do to encourage wildlife is worthwhile, but here are my top ten suggestions:

Slugs and snailsWhen you use those little blue slug pellets there is plenty of evidence to suggest that you’re also endangering wildlife such as hedgehogs and birds. Use biological controls, organic slug deterrents, beer traps or copper rings to keep slugs off your plants instead.

Insect CafeMake sure that you provide plenty of nectar as a vital food source for beneficial insects such as hoverflies, pollinators such as bees, a wide array of butterflies and all those other harmless creatures that might otherwise go short of food. Simple shaped (non-double) flowers, especially those with open centres are best – try poached egg plants, sedums and achilleas.

Corridors of PowerGround living wildlife such as some of the insects, frogs, toads and hedgehogs to name a few, need to be able to move safely within a garden and also from one garden to the next. Try to arrange some of your planting so that they can safely scuttle from one plant to the next, protected by the plants’ foliage and stems. Large expanses of open space makes life harder for them.

ButterfliesButterflies start out as caterpillars, and for those caterpillars to develop there needs to be somewhere for the adult to lay her eggs. Nettles are widely

used as a good plant on which the caterpillars of some butterflies can grow and develop. If your garden is quite big then try to spare a corner to allow nettles and other ‘wild’ plants to thrive. If you don’t like the idea of having nettles in your flowerbeds, then plant some into flowerpots and plunge these in a sunny spot near your beds and borders – this way you’ll give the butterflies the plant but won’t risk the nettles spreading.

High-rise accommodationVertical planting helps wildlife too. Rather than having bare house or garage walls, or an ugly shed, plant it up. Using trellis or wires to support climbers such as honeysuckle you’ll not only have a better looking garden and have hidden an eye-sore, but will also be providing a useful roosting and resting place, a potential nest site and a source of food for wildlife.

BirdsProvide a ‘bird bath’ for birds of all shapes and sizes to use when they need a drink or to bathe. Shallow water works well but it will need changing and replenishing frequently, especially in hot weather. Make sure that you install it somewhere that is well out of reach of local cats and other predators.

Garden ChemicalsDon’t buy any more garden chemicals - they may seem to provide an easy and quick solution to your garden problems, but most end up endangering beneficial or harmless insects as well as the ones that you are trying to control. Wipe out the beneficial insects and you’ll not only reduce the interest in your garden, but may also be killing some of the insects which have the

potential to be your allies as they would normally help to control the pests.

Bird BoxesBird boxes really help to encourage birds to nest and reproduce in your garden. Try to put some up now as the birds will be used to them by next spring and more likely to occupy them. During the winter months, birds and insects often use nest boxes as roosting places too, hiding and finding protection from the worst of the weather. Make sure that you choose bird boxes with the RSPB or BTO sign of approval, or make your own using instructions from these organisations.

Ponds and Water featuresInstall a pond or even just a simple water feature and you’ll be amazed by the amount of wildlife it attracts. Dragonflies, damselflies, other insects, plenty of birds and other animals will use the pond or feature as a drinking place. If you can manage to squeeze in a wildlife pond then you’ll also be

providing potential breeding and feeding places too.

Berried TreasurePlant some shrubs that produce tasty berries or hips later in the year. Autumn fruiting plants, especially those whose fruits last in to the winter, provide a vital source of food for many animals, especially birds. Wild roses, Pyracantha, Crab Apples – all make great garden plants but also provide a useful food source.

One of the most dramatic transformers is the aptly named Asus Eee Pad Transformer (pictured here). At first glance it looks like any tablet computer: it’s the size of an iPad, runs Google’s Android operating system and does everything you’d expect a cutting-edge tablet computer to do. But if you’re willing to add another £50 to its £379 price, the Transformer will happily turn itself into a laptop.The optional keyboard dock is enormously clever, and not just because it gives you proper keys to type on. There’s a second battery in there, which you can use to top-up the Transformer’s own battery or obtain longer battery life. Attaching the dock gives you another 6.5 hours of useful working time, making the Transformer a capable netbook as well as a great tablet. If you don’t need the extra power, Asus also makes another transforming device: the Slider, a tablet with a full-sized slide-out keyboard.Asus isn’t the only firm thinking that tablets could double as laptops. There’s a wide range of iPad add-ons, including the impressive Zagg Keyboard Case. £80 will buy an aircraft-grade aluminium case that doubles as an iPad stand

and proper keyboard. It’s more comfortable for prolonged typing than the

on-screen keyboard and it keeps

your tablet safe too.

With smartphones

getting more powerful by the

month, many models now rival

laptops in their sheer processing power - so

why not turn them into laptops too? That’s what Motorola decided to do with its Atrix. On its own, the Atrix is a powerful dual-core Android smartphone; team it up with the innovative Lapdock (pictured here) and it becomes a laptop. The laptop is essentially a laptop without the brains: its familiar case includes a normal keyboard, trackpad and screen, but there’s no computer inside. That’s where your phone comes in: there’s a slot behind the screen where you park your Atrix, connecting it to the keyboard and screen and turning your phone into a credible netbook. If you’d rather put the phone at the centre of your home entertainment system, around £30 buys the multimedia dock for easy connections to monitors,

flat-screen TVs and external peripherals, again, enabling you to make your Atrix resemble a traditional computer.There are two problems with the Atrix’s Lapdock, though. The first is the price. At the time of writing it’s being offered online for £250-£350. The second is that the Atrix’s Android operating system wasn’t really designed to work on a desktop or laptop computer. The Asus Eee Transformer suffers from this too, but not as badly: its newer version of Android, Honeycomb, was specifically designed for use on big screens. Previous versions were designed for small mobile phone

screens.So is the transforming

trend something

you should embrace? If you fancy a

tablet but like to do some typing,

the Eee Pad Transformer is an excellent option and it’s priced competitively too. The Atrix is more of a niche product, though: while the phone itself is often free on reasonably priced contracts, the Lapdock is a fairly pricey add-on. New devices will appear soon, we’re sure: Asus is struggling to keep up with the demand for its Transformer, and where there’s a hit there’s usually a whole bunch of me-too machines following suit.

The days when gadgets did one thing and one thing only may be coming to an end. The latest tech trend is transforming: devices that change from one kind of gadget to another.

Horsley DirectoryRecipe of the month

Keep the kids happy with their own individual versions using small crusty rolls. Fill with layers of mild Cheddar or Edam cheese and wafer thin ham or sliced

cold sausages adding a thin layer of pickle or tomato relish. Alternatively, mash a can of drained tuna with some mayonnaise and layer with crisp little gem salad leaves and grated carrot.

To serve 4 people, you’ll need a large round, oval or oblong fresh crusty loaf. Slice the top off and scoop out the inside of the

loaf, leaving a 1cm (1/2in) thick wall.

Brush the inside wall of the loaf with some good quality olive oil. For extra flavour spread a

thin layer of red or green pesto sauce or sun dried tomato paste inside the loaf.

Choose a colourful selection of 3-4 fillings. Cold chicken, smoked ham, salami, cheese, firm sliced tomatoes,

roasted vegetables (such as peppers, courgettes or aubergines), baby spinach leaves or fresh herbs like parsley and basil are all ideal. Chopped olives, capers or anchovy fillets will give extra flavour. Avoid watery sliced cucumber and salad leaves as they will make the bread go soggy.

Layer the fillings of your choice in the loaf, packing them down well. Drizzle with a little olive oil as you go and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

You can make an extra filling layer with the breadcrumbs removed from the loaf by blending them in a food processor for a few seconds with a little olive oil, crushed garlic and fresh basil.

Press the lid on top of the loaf and wrap tightly in foil. Chill in the fridge for 3-4 hrs or overnight. Slice thickly or in wedges to serve.
