Dear Readers

Frankly its a relief to get to February and March and put

January behind us - suddenly theres so much more to

look forward to and the worst of the winter and various

flu bugs are over.

What are those new things to look forward to? Lets

start with how we can all save 50 a month throughout

2011, according to Surrey Waste! Apparently we can

get healthier, shop smart and cook less - a pretty good

deal in anyones view!

As if thats not enough, we learn that good storage is

truly life-enhancing according to Katherine Sorrell on

Page 26. I only wish I had more of it at home myself!

Then theres Smith Pearman advising us on how to beat

the Congestion Charge and the Taxman - no mean feat!

And we have yet more advice on working from home,

which so many of us do now.

This year we are proud to have chosen the Surrey Air

Ambulance as our Charity of the Year for 2011. Please

aid us to help them raise some funds towards their

upkeep, as they receive no Lottery Funding and rely

entirely on the generosity of the community. Some of

you might know that they were not so long ago at the

Grace & Flavour garden in West Horsley. Their services

are second to none and I do hope you will join us in

helping to raise awareness and funding for them

throughout 2011.

I hope you enjoy this issue and if you have views or

information about anything going on locally please do let

me know.

Kind regards

The Surrey Waste Partnership has been running Surreys own Love Food Hate Waste campaign since May 2010, aiming to raise awareness of the need to reduce food waste in the county.

12 billion worth of food and drink goes to waste in the UK every year, so the Love Food Surrey campaign aims to show families how they could save up to 50 a month on their food shopping bill, simply by cutting down on throwing away food.

We could all enjoy an extra bit of cash after the mad spending at Christmas and reduce the amount of good food being thrown away. This doesnt mean cutting down on indulgence and fun. If anything, having a well-planned year will leave us with more money in our purses and more time to enjoy ourselves. Why not pledge to waste less food and save more money? For inspiration, check out Love Food Surreys new celebrity leftover cookbook. Surreys famous faces are supporting Surrey Waste Partnerships waste campaign by sharing their leftovers recipes in a new cookbook. Stars including Strictly Come Dancings Flavia Cacace and BBC sports presenter Gary Lineker, have contributed recipes.

Check out our top tips for a greener 2011:

Get healthier Increase your vegetables in your meal

planning e.g. by adding some peas into your pasta sauce it will be healthier and more fulfilling.

Cut down on saturated fat like butter, lard or margarine and use alternatives like olive oil.

Buy less biscuits and cakes and make your own - this way you can control the amount of sugar in your diet and it will easier on the waistline!

Shop smart Plan and shop with menus in mind as this will

be cheaper and prevent impulse buying.

Be ruthless with BOGOF offers; only buy them if you will use them that week.

Buy seasonal - it will taste better and generally be cheaper.

Cook less Try not to buy ready meals, instead cook

extra, and have some homemade sauces in the freezer for those days when you are pressed for time to cook.

Storage tips Incorporate leftovers in your menus for the

week, e.g. tomato sauce with pasta one day and the rest of the sauce can be drizzled over fish the next day.

Remember the most important point of all is to enjoy, respect and appreciate the food that you have spent your time and money on, in doing this you will have achieved at least one New Years resolution!

For more tasty tips on cutting the cost of your food bill and making the most of your leftovers, visit www.lovefoodsurrey.com

What could you do with an extra 50 a month in 2011?

Its your Air Ambulance

You can help us tocontinue making a difference

Find out how by visiting:

The helicopter was launched by a host of celebrities including Penelope Keith and Bernard Cribbins on June 8th 2007.

Responding swiftly to 999 calls, air ambulances are able to deliver a medical crew to the scene of an accident or medical emergency and to transport patients to the nearest major hospital or specialist unit, in a fraction of the time taken by a land ambulance. Surrey has a complete HEMS Service (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service), and employs the highest possible clinical standards in pre hospital care.

There are currently 18 independent air ambulance operators, all of which are registered charities and funded entirely

by charitable donations, receiving no Government or National Lottery funding.

The service, based at Dunsfold Park will be fl ying fast, direct and unhindered at over 150 miles per hour and the entire county can be reached within minutes.

However, the challenge now is to meet the yearly running costs of approximately 1.7 million to provide Surrey and neighboring Sussex with an emergency helicopter service, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Receiving no funding from the National Lottery the charity relies almost entirely upon the generosity of the public to support the Surrey Air Ambulance.

Surrey was one of only a few counties in the UK that did not have its own dedicated Helicopter Emergency Medical Service - HEMS, but this all changed in June 2007!

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

By now, regular readers here will have seen or even read several articles about the progress of the Grace & Flavour community garden project in the old walled garden at Dene Place on Ripley Lane. This time a year ago I was busily scouting the vil-lages for supporters and identifying (for which read avoiding) those whose body language and words said that we had chosen too big a task, and would never do it.

The nay-sayers were outnumbered by the supporters by a factor of ten, something I have come to appreciate and love about living in West Horsley. Not that there are many yes-men here: I cannot tell you the number of times I have been put through my paces, asked to explain how this project will be self-sufficient, or how it is struc-tured, or to clarify some other important detail. Often the questions are not about the gardening, but about the future stability of this ambitious plan to reclaim 1.3 hectares of once-beautiful Horsley land. Youll find plenty of support in this village but youd better have a sound argument, or a well-trusted group of local people to back you up. This project is blessed with both.

So here we are we have just completed our first weekend of 2011 on the land. Very few are now in any doubt that Grace & Flavour can be a fruitful (if youll excuse the pun) community kitchen garden. On Saturday rain was forecast and we had none. Forty-something villagers pitched up and worked their wellies off in both the com-munity garden and the soon-to-be-allotments. Some were clearing rubble from the field, others were spreading ash from the large 2010 bonfires. Others were making tea, or tidying the winter mess away, preparing this garden for Spring.

Last year we distributed crops to our active members, to local shops Costcutter and Charles Paine, to wonderful chef Kevin at Polesden Laceys restaurant, and also (10%) as a tithe, to those in our community who cannot easily get to buy fresh veg-etables. Some of our members made soup for the Salvation Army in Guildford. We were absolutely thrilled with the volume and quality of the produce we grew, and were often running to catch up with the season and the abundance it brought.

This year we have a few capital projects to complete we need a vehicle access and a car park, and we hope to build a safe childrens area within the garden walls. Both East and West Parish Council have worked over the past months to agree terms un-der which we will be able to make allotments available to local residents and we hope to have the first available in February. In a survey at the end of last season, when asked what they enjoyed most about in-volvement in Grace & Flavour over 80% of our members gave the answers below. If any of them strikes a chord with you, wont you come and join us? Come for an hour, or stay for the day.

Best things about being involved with Grace & Flavour: Meeting local people; Learning about vegetable gardening; Making a contribution to village life; Access to fresh vegetables; and (by no means least) The home baking available during tea breaks!

The new London congestioncharge started on 4thJanuary 2011 and if youchoose the correct car youwill be able to drive inLondon free of the charge.

Boriss new emissions based system,where cars emitting 100g/km CO2 orless will be exempt (as long as theymeet Euro 5 air quality standards) willreplace the current technology-basedapproach meaning that the hybrids willno longer necessarily be exempt fromthe charge, unless they comply with thiscriteria.

The outcome of this is that there arenow a number of cars which will qualifyto be exempt from the congestioncharge with the added benefit that onthe purchase of a new car there are significant tax advantages which are:-

The full cost of the car is allowed against company profits in the year of purchase

The benefit in kind charged on the employee is only 10% of the list price of the car (13% if a Diesel)

There is no requirement for the car to be used for company business or by

the employee concerned. It can be used by the director/employees, spouse or children.

The other non tax financial advantagesare:- The vehicle excise duty will be nil. Other costs such are insurance and depreciation are likely to be lower

Most people will find significant fuel cost savings.

An example of the car that meets thesecriteria is the VW Polo Blue Motion TD

Fuel economy combined 74.3mpg CO2 emissions 99g/km Road fund licence cost NILAssuming an annual mileage of 10,000per annum the cost savings includingfuel, vehicle excise duty and depreciationshould be well in excess of 2,000 perannum. In addition the company willreceive full tax relief (at probably thesmall company rate of 20%) on the fullpurchase cost of the car.

The tax rules relating to higher emissioncars are constantly changing and if yourequire 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 .

Spice of Life - CardamomCardamom is the second most expensive spice in the world and originates from southern India where it grows wild in the forests. The seeds come from the pods of a ginger-like plant Elettaria cardamomum. It is very popular in the Arab world with cardamom coffee being a prestigious symbol of hospitality. It is also more popular in Scandinavian countries where its used more than cinnamon.

An essential ingredient in most Indian cooking, cardamom features highly in curries and pilau rice dishes. It is also added to pickling mixtures, especially for pickled herrings, and adds warmth to winter alcoholic punches and mulled wines. Seeds can be bruised and toasted in a pan before adding the main ingredients, or ground with other spices as required.

The tiny, brown aromatic seeds have a pungent camphorous taste and are often chewed as a tooth cleaner and breath freshener. Although cardamom is not generally used in Western medicine it is used to fl avour preparations for digestive problems. It has been used as a digestive since ancient times.

Like many spices, cardamom has been attributed with aphrodisiac qualities and in ancient India it was regarded as a cure for obesity. The Greeks and Romans used it as a perfume.

Weve put together a few of the best to give Mum on her special day.The Happiness Project by Gretchen Craft Rubin Gretchen had everything to be happy for; a successful career, two lovely children and a happy marriage but she wasnt satisfied, so she decided to do something about it. Starting on January 1st, the author takes a proactive approach to improving her life from sleeping more and whinging less, to developing herself spiritually, educationally and philosophically. Easy to read and thought-provoking, The Happiness Project is charming, funny and truly inspirational.

you offer me? Here is a chance to record your mums memories and reveal the book within, something which shell enjoy creating which will be treasured by all her loved ones.
