Well, we made the nati onal press last month. To be more accurate, it was actually our offi ce window as our building was the victi m of

storm Kati e when a large tree fell on to it. Hap-pily, and in spite of the size of the tree, the dam-age was mostly cosmeti c and it was business as usual for all of us on the Tuesday. Just as well the broadband was not aff ected, it would have taken BT months to get us back up and running…

You will noti ce our fi rst foray into a ‘topical’ is-sue with our brief arti cle on the EU referendum.

There are some issues of interest or concern to our readers that we feel might be worth airing either in the magazine or on our blog at www.thevantagepointblog.com so please subscribe to the blog (where you can comment) or keep an eye out for our posts. Please also let me know if there is something you feel we should be cover-ing in a future issue.

And fi nally… Humph has found fame a litt le fur-ther afi eld from the VantagePoint catchment. He was in the Sunday Telegraph’s pet tales column on the 3rd April and is basking in the limelight. I have told him how fl eeti ng fame can be, so he may deign to come back to these pages one day when his head is a bit smaller!

We decided to take a fi ve day trip to the Big Apple last month and cross it off our wish list. It’s a bit like Marmite – you either love it or hate it. It’s completely manic; bright lights, busy shops, sirens blaring, steaks too big to eat and plenty of exciting things to do and see. We absolutely loved it but agreed it was good to get back home to the calm of leafy Surrey.

For approaching 40 years now, July has seen an annual celebration of music, performance and the arts in Petworth. The actual 40th anniversary is in 2018 but you’d have thought from this July’s edition that the festival was already in celebratory mode, such are the number of highlights and special events that are being introduced.

In 2015, the festival saw a significant growth in audience and in 2016 the same is predicted. Why? “Partly because of the momentum the festival has generated over the last few years” says Festival Artistic Director Stewart Collins, “and because of the extraordinary loyalty and dedication of so many audience members who turn up to event after event, but of course because of the quality and profile of some of the key performers”.

From the outset the festival has programmed the finest performers from the world of classical music, and once again, the programme is packed with heavyweight musicians over the fortnight. World class bass-baritone singer Sir Willard White will feature in one of the many concerts to take advantage of the celebrated acoustic of St Mary’s Church, whilst the incomparable Brodsky Quartet will be taking part in two events, one in St Mary’s and the other in one of the other jewels in the festival’s crown, the Music Room at Champs Hill in Coldwaltham. However it is the piano that comes under special focus in 2016 with appearances by five very differing stars on the instrument – and not just stars of the classical variety.

Some festival concerts are remembered for years, and one such event dating back some four years featured

the exceptional jazz pianist – and now head honcho at the legendary Ronnie Scott’s Club in London – James Pearson. “Pretty much everything that James touches turns to musical gold” says Stewart Collins, “and the joy that James brought way back when looks certain to be reproduced when he returns to the festival in the company of his trio of supporting musicians, to perform a tribute to the incomparable Oscar Peterson”. And of course it’s not just James’ fingers that do the talking. He turns the finest anecdotes as well, something that always spices up the best festival concerts.

Another guest pianist comes in the guise of Judy ‘Stride’ Carmichael. Genuinely a living legend from the cabaret bars and clubs of downtown New York, Judy was nicknamed ‘Stride’ by no less a figure than the jazz great Count Basie who so loved her stunning style of piano playing. Judy appears on the opening night of the festival.

Three great classical pianists will be gracing the stage for what are always hugely popular solo festival events, variously the Argentine star, Cristina Ortiz, the young Chinese pianist often referred to as ‘Lang Lang II’ but actually now a major international star in his own right, Ji Liu, and lastly a genuine British great, Joanna MacGregor. And in fact Joanna will be bringing an additional troupe of young stellar pianists from the Royal Academy of Music for a special piano

Petworth Festival 2016From 14th to 30th July, Petworth will show off its cultural best when it hosts the internationally renowned Petworth Summer Festival, a music and arts extravaganza that attracts thousands of visitors every summer from around the world.

weekend that will see concerts being performed throughout the area whether in private houses, village halls or in homes or clubs. If you’d like a short, informal concert from a piano star of tomorrow, contact the festival. A ‘house concert’ could be yours!In complete contrast, there are four large scale events this year two of which are scheduled for the magical environment that is The Stable Yard of Petworth House. Fans of the festival have long regarded the annual ‘Jazz in the Stables’ as one of the absolute musts of the festival, and this year spats, top tie and tails will once again be on display in the hands of another set of international visitors, the red hot retro-dance band that is the Bratislava Hot Serenaders. And ‘dance band’ is very much the key here. Dancing in the Stables is without any question the order of the day - you have been warned.

But as mentioned above, the festival is laying on a second night of top entertainment in the Stables, the middle weekend seeing the inaugural ‘Comedy in the Stables’ night. On this occasion the incomparable Paul Merton and his Impro Chums will be back in Petworth doing what they do so brilliantly – making audiences crease up with laughter by the improvised antics that guarantee that no two Impro Chums shows will ever be the same. Tickets for this event are destined to fly out the door when the time comes as you can probably imagine.

What else to look out for? Stewart Collins again: “My personal aim is always to see as many events at the festival as I possibly can, but if there are three I am going

to see from beginning to end and without interruption they are the performances by the wonderful traditional/folk singer

Sam Lee, who with his band has the ability to turn the hardest of hearts

with his fabulous collections of songs from around the British Isles; the sparkling comedy of

Adam Kay who will quite simply be singing some of the funniest songs ever written, songs that still are as funny today as they were when they were written in

the 50s and 60s by Tom Lehrer; and the musical celebration of Shakespeare

by the huge cohort of young musicians who make up the National Youth Choir

of Great Britain and the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. One of two events at Midhurst’s Rother College, this will be a thrilling celebration of young musical talent and one that sounds as good as anything you will ever hear on the professional stage. That’s a real treat in store”.

The above of course only hints at the range of events that will form this year’s festival, but hopefully from all of this you will see that there is almost certainly something for everybody. In fact quite a lot for everybody.

National Walking MonthThis May, national charity Living Streets, is on a mission to get people walking with their ‘Try20’ campaign for National Walking Month. The campaign message is simple, walk 150 minutes a week in line with NHS recommendations (around 20 mins a day) and you can greatly offset serious health issues such as high blood pressure and diabetes and increase your happiness and wellbeing. Living Streets’ Chief Executive, Joe Irvin comments: “Try20 provides a fantastic opportunity to challenge yourself this May. You don’t have to go out of your way to Try20 - try skipping a stop on public transport or park your car that bit further out and walk to work. You could walk your children to school or go on foot to local shops. Even a lunchtime walk in the fresh

air can do you the world of good. Make a small change and experience a big difference, both physically and mentally.” For more information and to pledge Try20 this May visit www.livingstreets.org.uk/nwm and follow on Twitter: @livingstreets #Try20

But although it’s grown up, it’s true to its roots; a cost effective, outdoorsy experience is guaranteed. Camping remains one of the best ways to get away with friends and family for very little cost and maximum enjoyment. A camping trip creates memories that you’ll talk and laugh about for years.

If you’ve never been camping, or you’ve been scarred by festival-camping, then it’s time to think again. Follow these five foolproof steps to camping bliss.

Before you do anything else, work out how long you’ll be staying under canvas. A one or two night trip is long enough for the inexperienced camper to whet their appetite. Many campsites will insist you stay for two nights during peak season. If you want to just dip your toes in and stay for one night, then face up to paying for two nights of camping but just going for the one night. Or wait and see how you feel. Save the week-long trip for when you’ve worked out what you like, what you need and what you don’t need.

Or should that be; find the perfect site for you. You need to know what you want. Is a quiet, unspoilt site more important to you than an on-site café? Or are you prepared to trade-off peace and quiet for the benefit of a kids’ entertainment complex? Make a list of your non-negotiables and then take a look at the sites that match your requirements. We used to discount better equipped sites and seek out quiet sites with wild beauty and basic facilities. Now we have two small children in tow, the thought of staying anywhere with basic facilities fills me with horror, so a well-equipped playground and laundry facility are now top of my list. Other things you might want to consider are whether campfires

are permitted, whether or not large groups are permitted (if they do, then it might be a noisy site in the evening – this might or might not be exactly what you want), and proximity to local pubs and restaurants.

There are some beautiful sites within easy reach of the local area. Our family loves the Graffham campsite, just south of Petworth. Set in woodland, the pitches feel private yet the site is well equipped enough for comfort. If you want full-on comfort, then consider a site that offers glamping. Pop Up by the River, in Steyning, and The Green Escape near Dorking both offer ready pitched tents or shepherd huts; perfect for the nervous camper. Check out the Cool Camping series of books for honest and informative campsite reviews – from no-frills to glamourous glamping escapes.

It goes without saying that you need a decent tent. A small dome tent is fine for an overnight stop, or for adults or teens. But if you’re camping with small children or have back or joint problems, a stay in a dome tent will be enough to make you want to pack up and go within three hours. Either invest in or borrow a tent you can stand up in. Many have separate sleeping compartments, which are handy should you feel you need a spot of extra privacy.

Have you heard the news? Camping’s grown up. Once the domain of boy scouts, backpackers and festival-goers, camping has shed its hiking jackets and mud-caked wellies, and now mixes with a more mainstream crowd, says Laura Sands.

Family round the campfire (Tom Wood)

Remember that you need more than just a tent. Bring along sleeping bags, comfortable pillows and inflatable mattresses. Remember that bigger isn’t always better – the thinner, self-inflating style mattresses can often be more comfortable than the more conventional airbeds we’re used to seeing. They’re quick to set up as well; a bonus when you really want to just get out, toast marshmallows and drink cider.

Regardless of whether you think you’ll be cooking up a storm, or eating at the local pub, you’ll need to bring some basic cooking equipment. This should certainly include some mugs, a kettle and a gas hob of sorts. If a morning without tea or coffee is unbearable at home, then imagine the desperation you’ll feel after a night under canvas with one too many glasses of red wine the evening before. If you plan to eat out for each meal then you don’t need much more in the way of cooking equipment, but for the effort of digging out some pots, pans and picnicware, you can save money and hassle and make some of your own meals on site. Nothing tastes quite as good as a bacon sandwich cooked outdoors or a BBQ after a day in the sun.

You’ll be more comfortable with picnic chairs and a table it’s true, but you can certainly get away with picnic rugs and a coolbox to create a makeshift dining area if you’d rather not fork out for additional equipment straightaway.

There are several very well equipped camping shops locally. Frensham Garden Centre is home to Camping World, with a huge range of tents for you to look around, and plenty of camping equipment to stock up on. Halfords is also a great place to pick up affordable picnic chairs and camping stoves. And don’t forget eBay, Gumtree and other second-hand selling boards as a great source for second-hand and barely-used camping equipment. Start looking

early enough in advance and you’ll be sure to pick up some bargains.

For some, weather doesn’t matter when camping. Generally, these are people with caravans and motorhomes. But if you are staying under canvas, or are not as hardy as a mountain goat, then it’s wise to check the weather before you set off on your trip.

As much as we’d all love continuous sunshine, a temperature of 26°C and a light breeze; this isn’t guaranteed in the UK. Don’t be put off by grey clouds and the odd rain shower (what a good excuse to fi nd a pub to shelter in), but do think about rearranging your trip if heavy or continuous rain, or strong winds are forecast. If it looks like it will be chilly at night, then pack bedsocks, fl eecy onesies and hot water bottles. And make up a fl ask of hot tea or coff ee in the evening, ready to drink in the morning.

Go to the right campsite, with the right people, and entertainment will look after itself when camping. Family games of cricket and frisbee, toasting marshmallows over a campfi re or telling ghost stories – a camping trip gives us the chance to escape from the daily grind and bond with those we love. But don’t think that means that you don’t need to worry about bringing along entertainment. A pack of cards or a simple game such as Uno is a camping essential. And bring

Check the Weather

Kick Off the Entertainment

along colouring or sticker books for kids who wake up early and need entertaining until a time that it’s acceptable to make noise (most campsites are quite strict about being quiet between 10.30pm and 7.30am).

Tablet computers can be a brilliant solution for entertaining kids in the early hours of the day, or while you are setting up the tent – but remember that a limited battery life will mean it should be used sparingly – and after all, if camping is about being with those you love, and having a time you love, then an iPad has only a very limited role to play in that.


Eating is a huge part of entertainment while camping. If you’re lucky enough to be on a site that allows campfires or firepits then have fun making s’mores (check out the internet if you’re not familiar, they’re an American campfire speciality), and baking potatoes in the embers.

Or get going with a legendary BBQ with some juicy sausages fresh from the local butchers. Even if all you have is a little camping stove, you can whip up a smashing bacon sandwich which tastes better than anything you’ll have ever had indoors.

And finally... Remember that camping is about having fun with those you love, and getting away from the daily grind. Get researching, pull together a bunch of your nearest and dearest, beg, buy or borrow some camping equipment and make the most of our beautiful countryside. See you there – we’re the ones with the estate car, two kids and a large bottle of red wine. Oh and a massive bag of marshmallows ready for toasting; we’ll save you a few…

Britain is stronger, safer and better off in Europe than we would be out on our own, says Britain Stronger in Europe.

Being part of Europe makes our economy stronger, helping British businesses small and large, creating jobs for British people, and delivering lower prices for British families.

Almost half of everything we sell to the rest of the world we sell to Europe - and we get an average of £24 billion of investment into Britain per year from Europe. That’s why the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) estimates that 3 million jobs in Britain are linked to trade with the rest of Europe.

Being part of Europe also means cheaper prices in our supermarkets, cheaper flights to Europe and lower phone charges when travelling. The average person in Britain saves around £450 every year because trading with Europe drives down the price of goods and services.

And we get out more than we put in. Our annual contribution is equivalent to £340 for each household and yet the CBI says that all the trade, investment, jobs and lower prices that come from our economic partnership with Europe is worth £3000 per year to every household.

That’s a return on investment of almost ten to one. British families are better off being in Europe.

Negotiating as part of a 500 million-strong economy also gives us clout we could never have on our own. Thanks to our membership of the European Union, we benefit from free trade agreements with 50 countries around the world.

So why would we risk our economic security by turning our backs on Europe? There will be no going back if we vote to leave. And if we do leave, we will be cut off from automatic access to the economic benefits that the EU brings – hitting businesses, risking jobs and threatening families’ financial security.

If we want Britain to be a leader in the world, we need to be in Europe helping to take the big decisions – not sitting on the sidelines, powerless. In today’s complex world, the UK

has more control over its destiny by staying inside organisations like the EU. We would never dream of leaving the UN or NATO. Why would we leave the EU? Being part of Europe means we have stronger leadership on the world stage, enabling us to shape the future – influence through participation. Britain is not Britain unless we are outward-looking, engaged in our continent and leading in Europe. To leave Europe would mean less influence on the world stage, and less say in the future. We are stronger in Europe than on our own.

In today’s world, many of the threats to Britain’s security are global in nature - like the aggression of Russia, terrorism and cross-border crime.

Being in Europe, working with our closest neighbours and partners to tackle these threats, makes Britain safer. Whether it’s implementing sanctions against Russia, sharing intelligence about terrorists or arresting criminals using the European Arrest Warrant, there is strength in numbers.

Hussein Osman, a terrorist involved in the attempted bomb attack on London in July 2005, is one of over 400 criminals who have been returned to face justice in Britain under the European Arrest Warrant after fleeing to Europe. He was caught in Italy, brought back to Britain, and sentenced to 40 years imprisonment.

Leaving Europe would threaten our safety. We are stronger and more secure as part of Europe than on our own.

Britain in Europe is a lead campaign group advocating staying in the EU. www.strongerin.co.uk

On 23rd June, Britain will vote on whether to leave the EU. It’s the single most important vote of our lifetimes, an opportunity that won’t come again.

1. A stonger economy

3. Better security

2. Better leadership

IN


If you’re undecided about how to vote, here are seven things to consider. Bear in mind that I’m writing as an MEP, whose job will disappear the day we leave, says Dan Hannan.

Our annual tribute to Brussels now stands at £19 billion a year gross, £11 billion net. If we kept that money at home, we could give the entire country a 71 per cent cut in council tax. Or we could build and equip a state-of-the-art hospital every week.

To put it another way, during the last Parliament, we saved £36 billion through the entire domestic cuts programme; yet, over the same period, we gave Brussels £85 billion. The EU, in other words, wiped out our austerity savings twice over. Even if we use the net figure (£42 billion), it’s still enough to cancel all the cuts and have enough left over to take a penny off income tax.

In the digital age, we are no longer defined by our geography. We have links to other English-speaking and common law nations around the world – nations that, unlike the EU, are growing economically.

In 1980, according to the IMF, the 28 EU states accounted for 30 per cent of the world’s economy; today, it’s 17 per cent and falling. The real growth is happening across the oceans, not least in Commonwealth countries to which we are linked by language and law, habit and history.

Outside the EU, we can control our immigration policy. More passports are checked at Britain’s borders than at those of the other 27 EU states put together.

The former Secretary General of Interpol, Ronald Noble, describes the Schengen Zone as ‘an international passport-free zone for terrorists to execute attacks on the Continent and make their escape’.

If the EU were just about international co-operation and trade, no one would have a problem with it. The trouble is that it regulates things that have no conceivable cross-border dimension: the power of our electrical appliances, the frequency of our bin collections, the way we open a bank account, the tax on sanitary products.

Our laws should have precedence on our own territory, and we should be able to hire and fire the people who pass them.

At least, not from within. The utter refusal to grant David Cameron better terms puts that beyond doubt. If this is how Britain, the second-largest financial contributor, is treated now, before the referendum, imagine how we’d be treated if we voted to remain.

Voting to stay in means remaining on a conveyor-belt whose far end we can’t see. The Schengen and euro crises are deteriorating – which is one reason that the government was in a rush to hold the referendum at the earliest possible date. Staying in means more risk and more cost. It’s safer to take back control.

We are the fifth-largest economy in the world, with the fourth largest military budget. We are leading members of NATO, the Council of Europe, the Commonwealth and the G7 and G20.

We are one of five permanent seat-holders at the UN Security Council. How much bigger do we have to be before we can live under our own laws?

Dan Hannan has been the Conservative MEP for South East of England since 1999. He is also the Secretary-General of the Alliance of European Conservatives and Reformists (AECR). www.hannan.co.uk

Lurgashall Village Hall - a hall for all reasons

Located midway between Haslemere, Midhurst and Petworth, Lurgashall Village Hall has long been at the centre of village life. Built in 1914, the hall has evolved over more than a hundred years. It continues to meet the needs of modern day Lurgashall as a venue for meetings, music, exhibitions, parties, classes, a Polling Station and for monthly village lunches and village teas.

To begin at the beginning… On 18th April 1911, parishioners met in the Lurgashall Schoolroom to plan celebrations for the Coronation of King George on 22nd June 1911. As the Minutes of that meeting record: “It was agreed, by acclamation, that there should be a celebration and it was unanimously agreed that a Parish Room or Village Hall should be built in commemoration of the Coronation”.

And so, after the inevitable delays and deliberations, the King’s Hall was built on a site donated by Lord Leconfield. It is not known when it became known as the Village Hall. The money to build the Hall was raised by voluntary public subscription. This was particularly ambitious for such a small village at a time when parishioners were bidding a sad farewell to fathers, husbands and sons as they set off to war.

The size and shape of the Hall has changed little since 1914 but step inside and you will discover a very different story as the Hall was completely refurbished in 2005. A fully-equipped commercial kitchen was installed, together with new, accessible toilet facilities. The addition of gas central heating guarantees a warm welcome, whatever the weather. A range of light-weight tables replaced the heavy wooden trestles and the purchase of 110 upholstered chairs ensures that every seat in the house is a comfortable one. The area around the building was landscaped to improve ease and safety of access and, in 2009, the Hall received a brand new roof.

Just as in the second decade of the 1900’s, much of the money for these improvements in the new Millennium was donated by the people of Lurgashall. However, this time around, fund-raising was boosted by grants from public bodies and private trusts. This was just as well as the legislation governing the standard of public amenities and administration of community

buildings in the 21st Century is much more exacting and costly than it was in 1914!

In its Centenary year, Lurgashall Village Hall became the first in West Sussex to be re-awarded Hallmark 2 status: a national, quality standard scheme for village halls.

And so it continues. The most recent addition is an audio-visual system incorporating a drop-down screen and a ‘surround sound’ system for films and presentations. This equipment comes into its own at the monthly Film Nights but is also available to hirers of the Hall who can link it into their laptops and to a variety of mobile devices.

The reasonable hire rates make the Hall the ideal place for events of all kinds, both private and public and much of the Hall’s equipment is available for use off-site.

The hall has:

• full Premises’ Licence• seats 70 banquet-style, 100 theatre-style or gatherings of 120• a/v system • good acoustic• commercial kitchen• modern toilets• raised stage with curtains• fitted bar • car parking

From 1914 to date, an unbroken succession of volunteers have joined together as the Lurgashall Village Hall Management Committee. In this way, the important work of developing and promoting the Hall for community use continues.

National Garden SchemeSunday 15th May 1pm to 5pm and Wednesday 25th May 5.30 to 7.30pmHere’s a chance to see a local garden, Malabar in Holdfast Lane that has been created over the last 20 years, once a Brick Kiln Copse of hollies, hazels and oaks. When the present owners arrived in 1988, there were only three ‘plants’-- two acers and a dogwood, all being under a metre tall! Building a ‘hidden’ tennis court involved moving over 120 cubic metres of clay. This was used to create a bank for planting and disguising the Hut, the top lawn, and a turning area as the entrance drive was just a 10ft wide tarmac strip. It is now a fully stocked, peaceful woodland naturalistic garden created in just 20 years with year round interest.

For the twelfth consecutive year, the beautiful garden at Lowder Mill, Bell Vale Lane, Haslemere will be open to the public under the National Garden Scheme. This year it will be on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th June.

Whilst most visitors, and there were about 700 over two days last year, come to enjoy the magnifi cent garden and the superb afternoon teas and cakes, many also appreciate the historic nature of the site. The former water mill and miller’s house are set in some three acres of garden including the mill pond, located on the higher level, the water from which drove the overshot wheel, which was there until the 1930’s.

There has been 600 years of water extraction and milling on the site, as the fi rst recorded activity on the site dates back to 1357 when the then owner was fi ned for diverting a watercourse. There are many references, many of which can be found in the Fernhurst Archive, to water extraction and milling in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Both the house and the mill are now Listed as buildings of Architectural or Historic interest. The mill building is mainly eighteenth century in origin, of fairly typical stone construction with brick quoins. It is not known precisely when milling ceased, but there is evidence of commercial activity up to the late nineteenth century, including its use as a cooperage. The

property has been used solely as a residence since the 1920’s.

The garden restoration and renovation began fourteen years ago when the present owners, Anne and John Denning, with the help of garden designer Bunny Guinness, set about the huge task of bringing the garden back to life. Since then the garden has continued to develop, including the new pond in the front of the mill, the courtyard between the house and the mill, with its wealth of interesting container planting, the restoration of the greenhouse and nursery area, the raised vegetable beds and the collection of rare breed ducks and chickens.

So there is much to see and enjoy, but not to be missed are the renowned teas, served overlooking the former mill pond and the extensive plant stall, stocked with mainly home propagated plants. A choir will be singing on the Sunday from 11am.

Edible plants to entertain

Herbs are such super plants to grow. They’re attractive, fragrant, often good for bees and butterfl ies, and if you grow the right varieties, they’ll elevate your BBQ food, summer salads and other culinary creations to another level. Growing your own herbs can save a lot of money over the summer in comparison to supermarket prices for fresh herbs. Of course your home-grown herbs will be fresher than those from the supermarket, and you also have the opportunity to grow varieties of herbs that you cannot buy at the shops.

Rumex sanguineus var. sanguineus, also known as red veined sorrel (above), is a very attractive herb, which makes a welcome addition to the ornamental garden, as well as to the kitchen. The attractive, veined leaves are best eaten young and have a sharp, lemony fl avour. Rumex scutatus, or buckler leafed sorrel, is less eye catching, but it forms a diminutive, compact plant with soft textured, small, green leaves that provide an intense lemon zing without the sour notes that are associated with sorrel. Both of these herbs are easy to grow from seed, which you can sow in a semi-shaded spot, directly where they are to grow, either in containers, or in your garden this month. Pick sorrel leaves regularly, cutting the whole plant back to the ground each time you pick, to encourage lots of fresh new growth; avoid letting your plants fl ower or seed - the leaves will be tough and not as fl avourful once fl ower production starts, in which case, simply sow some more seeds.

Rosemary isn’t fully hardy and doesn’t make it through every single winter outdoors in the UK, but you can get great value from any

rosemary plants purchased this month, as you’ll have the whole summer and autumn to enjoy them. Strong, straight, stems of rosemary make ideal BBQ skewers! If you’re tempted by this idea for your next BBQ, choose a variety of rosemary that has a naturally upright growth habit, such as Rosmarinus offi cinalis ‘Miss Jessopp’s Upright’.

Persicaria odorata, commonly known as Vietnamese coriander, is a tender herb, used in Asian cooking. It’s a fast growing, invasive plant that’s easily grown in a large container in a sunny spot, where it will provide you with strongly pepper-coriander fl avoured leaves all summer. It can be overwintered as a houseplant if you wish.

For more years than I care to remember, I have been growing the palest yellow or creamy white alpine strawberries. Chiltern seeds sell strawberry ‘Yellow Wonder’ (Fragaria vesca ‘Semperfl orens) which is as good a variety as any you’ll fi nd. I sow new seed each year, as the plants have usually deteriorated by the following year. These alpine strawberries are very petite, pretty plants. They’re easily popped into containers, raised beds, baskets, or the front of the border, where their dainty fl owers will add a certain charm. The small creamy-white strawberries are ripe and ready to eat when they have elongated and softened. Birds not always realise this as they and the rest of the strawberry hunters both large and small, will be on the look out for the familiar red fruits, leaving you to enjoy your own intensely sweet strawberries. They taste better than any sweets you could buy!

Redcurrants are great to grow either in your garden or at your allotment. Even if you only grow one redcurrant plant you can achieve a large, usable harvest of exquisite, jewel like, red fruits that have a sweet yet tart fl avour. You’ll be searching the recipe books, as redcurrants are far heavier cropping than whitecurrants or pinkcurrants. Redcurrants are not aff ected by big bud mite, which is so detrimental to blackcurrants, they can be grown in areas where blackcurrants are aff ected without any problems whatsoever. Redcurrants also do well in semi-shaded

To create a really sumptuous and relaxing outdoor area where you can dine and unwind, as well as sun loungers, garden furniture, fi re pits and BBQs, you’ll require the perfect blend of aromatic, delicious and attractive plants to enhance your entertaining area.

areas. If you’re looking to purchase a redcurrant, ‘Junifer’ is a good, disease resistant, heavy cropping variety that produces fruits early in the season, and ‘Rovada’ is a good variety for disease resistance and a good harvest late in the season. Both of these varieties are self-fertile and don’t require a pollinator.Many plants produce edible fl owers, which can make a rather cheery addition to salads, oils, butters and other culinary adventures. Lavender is a super addition to any patio or terrace. Its scented fl owers attract bees and butterfl ies and they can also be added to both savoury and sweet dishes.

Hemerocallis, commonly known as day lilies, produce an abundance of edible fl owers, each lasting just a day or two (hence the common name) through the summer. Choose late fl owering varieties such Hemerocallis ‘Red Precious’ or H. ‘Pink Damask’ to hopefully avoid the egg-laying period of the Hemerocallis gall midge.

Organic gardeners, who don’t spray their roses at all, may like to know that rose fl owers, as well as being beautiful, are also edible. Please only consider eating your rose petals if you don’t spray your roses!

Roses make a fabulous addition to any outdoor entertaining area. If you’re looking to grow a rose in an area where children play, you might want to include a thornless rose. Rosa ‘A Shropshire Lad’ AGM is an almost thornless, very healthy and

disease resistant climbing English rose, bred by David Austin Roses (above). Its softly coloured, peach-pink roses have a delicious, fruity tea rose scent. Rosa ‘James Galway’, also bred by David Austin, is an almost thornless climbing rose with pretty pink fl owers. This is a disease resistant rose, with an enchanting old rose fragrance that does well in shade.

Pan-fried Gnocchi with Pistachio Pesto and Asparagus

Other ideas...

Method:1. First make the pesto by putting the basil, garlic, olive oil, 3 tablespoons of the pistachios, lemon rind and juice in a food processor; process to form a rough paste. Stir in the cheese and season. 2. Heat a large frying pan with a little olive oil, add the gnocchi and toss gently over a medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until lightly golden. 3. Meanwhile, steam the asparagus and beans for 2-3

minutes until just tender and drain. 4. Roughly chop the remaining pistachios for the garnish. Add the pesto to the gnocchi and toss together. 5. Gently stir in the beans and asparagus and then wilt in the spinach. 6. Divide between 2 plates and scatter over the feta cheese and the rest of the pistachio nuts and pink peppercorns to serve.

Ingredients

25g fresh basil leaves; 2 smoked garlic cloves, finely chopped; 75ml olive oil, plus extra for frying; 4 tbsp pistachio kernels, toasted; 1 teaspoon lemon rind and 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 50g Pecorino Romano cheese, grated; 1 x 500g pack fresh gnocchi; 200g trimmed fresh asparagus ; 100g fine green beans, halved; 50g fresh baby spinach leaves, washed and drained; 75g feta cheese, crumbled; ½ teaspoon pink peppercorns crushed (optional).

Serves 2

Roasted Asparagus with Garlic and ParmesanThis is one of my favourites and perfect as a starter. Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Put some trimmed asparagus spears into an oven-proof dish and add chopped or minced garlic and some olive oil. Dot with butter, season with salt and pepper and then bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Add some grated parmesan and serve. Stefan Reynolds

Asparagus BrunchAsparagus tips and eggy loveliness for brunch! Take 4-5 stems of asparagus per person and wrap each individual stem with the pancetta or streaky bacon. Pop these on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil. Place in a preheated oven 170 fan until the pancetta is crispy. Whilst these are cooking, poach some large eggs making sure the yolks are lovely and runny. Drain really well. Assemble on warmed plates the asparagus tips with eggs to the side, adding a little butter, sea salt, finely chopped parsley and pepper to the eggs. Deliciously simple. Liz Godfrey

Symphony No.4 in B flat major together with the popular Overture to Prometheus.

This is Grayshott Concerts’ 51st event since 2004 and particularly special because, in March 2013, Tasmin was due to perform this same Beethoven concerto in Grayshott when an astonishing opportunity arose.

In May 2013, Tasmin had planned to record Beethoven’s rarely performed Triple Concerto for Violin, Piano and Cello, so she suggested that Grayshott would be an ideal venue to host the ‘dress rehearsal’ of the work at St Luke’s in March. The performance, which received a standing ovation, included pianist Howard Shelley (Grayshott Concerts’ Associate Artist) and cellist Sebastian Comberti accompanied by the famous London Mozart Players. So Tasmin’s performance of the much-anticipated Violin Concerto in June 2016 will have been ‘delayed’ by more than 3 years.

Tasmin Little has firmly established herself as one of today’s leading international violinists, having performed on every continent in some of the most prestigious venues of the world including the Carnegie Hall, New York. But, says Tasmin, “No venue anywhere in the world gives me a warmer welcome than Grayshott. The audience are just wonderful. I’m so pleased to be coming back to perform the Beethoven Violin Concerto at long last!”

In June 2012, Tasmin Little was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Birthday Honours List, for Services to Music. Earlier this year, she was awarded Honorary Membership of the Royal Academy of Music (Hon RAM) by the Academy and the University of London. She intends to perform the Beethoven Concerto on her 1757 Giovanni Battista Guadagnini violin.

The London Mozart Players, Grayshott Concerts’ Orchestra in Residence, have performed in Grayshott on many occasions, but this time they will be conducted, for the first time in Grayshott, by Graham Ross, Director of Music and Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge and Principal Conductor of the Dmitri Ensemble. He guest conducts ensembles and orchestras across the UK and beyond, and will be conducting at the 2016 BBC Proms Season.

Grayshott Concerts continues to attract concert-goers to the village from across the region and has an unbroken record and reputation for selling out with every event since 2004.

One of the world’s most popular violinists is coming to perform in Grayshott in June.

Making her fourth visit to St Luke’s Church at the invitation of Grayshott Concerts, internationally renowned Tasmin Little will perform Beethoven’s much loved Violin Concerto in D.

In the ‘Brilliant Beethoven’ concert at 7.30pm on Friday 17th June. Tasmin will be accompanied by the London Mozart Players who will also perform Beethoven’s

1. Go along the side of the Green towards the church and the Crown Inn. Just before the inn, go left through a passage, re-joining the road by a butcher’s shop and continuing past the Swan Inn, crossing a bridge over the Anstead Brook and ignoring a side road. At a fingerpost after the last house, turn left on a footpath. This narrow path runs between fences, by a field, over a stile and along the right-hand side of a meadow. At a post with a yellow marker go right up some steps and left beside a wire fence. This leads you over a stile, uphill through a bluebell wood and over a stile into a sheep meadow. Turn left along the edge of the meadow. 2. Go over a stile in the corner onto a woodland path in the Highbeech Plantation. Go carefully down the slope ahead, aided by steps, and past a pond on your right. The path takes you over a stream, up and along a grassy path by a fence and a large pasture. The path elbows left by a gate and finally bends right to go over a stile. Turn left on the grass beside the driveway coming from Old Pickhurst and, at a T-junction, turn right on a road, immediately avoiding a road junction on your left.

WALK - Chiddingfold and Ramsnest Common

The walk

Here is a peaceful rural ramble through the meadows and woodlands of southwest Surrey. It starts in Chiddingfold, one of Surrey’s most picturesque villages which offers good chances for a rest and refreshment. Near the end, it takes you through some spectacular wooded terrain. There are no ploughed fields along the way and only a few sheep for companionship. In late spring, many of the paths are fringed with bluebells. Dog friendly but lead needed! Midway through the walk you go close to Ramster Gardens and we have an offer for VantagePoint readers to visit the gardens and get 2 for 1 entry. This walk is taken from www.fancyfreewalks.org with kind permission.

3. After 150m, go left over a stile into a small green meadow and, in less than 100m, go right over a small bridge and stile into a sheep pasture. Cross the pasture aiming for the right-hand edge of a line of trees on the other side. Once there, go over a stile beside a metal gate and continue uphill next to a fence on your right. In the far corner, which can be a little swampy, go over a stile and cross the centre of the next rough meadow, aiming for a large house visible ahead, adjoining some long buildings (actually racing stables). Go over a stile to a road and turn left on it, passing Fisher Lane Farmhouse. 4. After only 40m, go right on a rather narrow overgrown path which comes out by the racing stables, zigzagging right-left as it does so. Cross over a horse exercise path and continue up a wide cinder track. The track curves right and bends left again. You have an expanse of grass incorporating a large circular horse exerciser to your right and a line of trees ahead. Leave the track as it curves away and aim straight for the line of trees to go through a small gap in the hedgerow to a 3-way fingerpost. Turn right beside the hedge and, in 100m, on meeting a track, turn right and immediately left along the left-hand edge of the grassy expanse. In 15m, ignore the first yellow arrow on your left and continue to the far corner. 5. In the corner, go over a wooden bridge and take a path straight ahead, gently uphill through a bluebell wood, Surrey Copse, in the direction of the yellow arrow, soon crossing under wires. At the top, veer left at a yellow arrow immediately reaching a fingerpost. Ignoring a stile straight ahead, turn sharp right in the direction of the middle finger on a narrow path into the woods. The floor here is thick with bluebells in late spring. The path finally leads out into a small meadow. Veer left to a (broken) metal gate and turn right on a tarmac lane. In 70m, go left through a modern kissing-gate into a sloping meadow. 6. Go straight across the meadow, heading for a large wood on the other side. A large metal gate reveals itself as you cross. Go through the gate into the woods of Griggs Bottom and immediately turn left at a fingerpost. In 60m, at another fingerpost, your path veers right up deeper into the wood. In about 150m, the path emerges into a large sloping green field. Keep ahead along the right-hand side of the field. At the corner, go through a small wooden gate and turn left on a wide farm track. In 30m, follow a hairpin round to the right. In 200m, at a fingerpost, veer left towards the farm buildings. You pass a reedy pond and, on your right, Redlands Farmhouse, then Honeypot Cottage and the buildings

of Gostrode Farm. Stay on the tarmac, ignoring a footpath on your right and a bridleway on your left at a bend. Finally you pass some houses, go over a grid (or through a small wooden gate), pass a footpath on your left, and progress onwards till you reach the main A283 Petworth Road by a Shell fi lling station (which serves snacks and drinks) in the hamlet of Ramsnest Common. You will be continuing by crossing the road and turning right.7. Having crossed the road and turned right, go 150m along the footway and turn left on a side road, Killinghurst Lane. However, by continuing another 100m or so along the main road, you could make an excursion to Ramster Garden (see special off er), famous for its glorious spring colours. Follow quiet Killinghurst Lane, catching a glimpse of Ramster Garden on your right as you go. The lane dips to go over a stream, passing farm buildings and winds its way uphill. The lane zigzags through a broken wall and descends. You pass a meadow on your left with a beautiful cedar, belonging to historic Killinghurst House. Finally, the lane takes a left bend. 8. Leave the lane here by turning right at a fi ngerpost on a narrow path. The path runs along the right-hand side of a fi eld and, in 40m, forks right into woods. You are in a long strip of woodland known as Hollis’s Hanger. It runs beside a stream gully down on your left. This primeval and exciting landscape will be yours to enjoy for 1km – and probably alone because few people come here. In late spring, this is a notable place for bluebells too. Eventually the path descends to the level of the stream and crosses it by an excellent bridge. After the bridge, keep left, following a thin stream on your left. You may need to hop around the mud in this section. Your path crosses the stream using a 3-plank bridge. At the top, you come to a T-junction with a much wider path. Turn right on this path. 9. The path runs past some corrugated farm sheds and onwards through woodland (testing your mud-hopping skills again). It eventually joins a tarmac driveway coming in on the left from Hollyhurst. This lane soon passes houses on both sides in the hamlet of Upper

Sydenhurst. Keep straight on along this very quiet cul-de-sac lane passing several footpaths on the left. In 1km, the lane reaches the main road in Chiddingfold. Turn left and cross the road to the Crown Inn and the Green where the walk began.

Theatregoers are welcome to bring their own picnics, rugs and low backed chairs from 6pm. Set in 1940, in a sleepy village in rural Sussex, Macbyrd is a comedy thriller highlighting the dramatic changes brought about by the threat of German invasion. The impact on the local WI, the cricket club, the village play, on relationships and how, in wartime, people must take on new roles for the sake of the community – think Foyle’s War meets The Archers!

Liphook & District Model Railway Club Sunday 5th June The club will be exhibiting at the Milland Rural Fair. They hold their regular Friday night meetings at the Milland Valley Memorial Hall’s committee room, but for the Fair will be moving their model railway layout, Friedrichstrasse, the few yards into the main hall. The layout, in HO scale, represents a part of Berlin at the height of the cold war, on the border between East and West Berlin. It has taken the club, which has 14 members, several years to reach the stage of near completion. The layout is in full running order, but the scenery is still incomplete, although a range of buildings and scenes will hopefully be finished by the time of the Rural Fair. The layout also includes an operational city tramway (Stadt Straßenbahn) and S-Bahn system. A range of main line passenger, freight and suburban trains, in the correct liveries for the period, will be operated. The GDR have assured the club they won’t be closing the border!

Haslemere U3A... and you!

PROFILE

No, it’s not just bridge or bowls, house and garden, and French conversation. It’s all those and many more and there are no exams! University of the Third Age is for those of us who have left full-time work behind and have moved into expanding the possibilities of our later years, following pursuits we have always had a yen for, meeting interesting new friends--in short, making the most of this special time in our lives.

Haslemere U3A has grown to over 500 members in the 20 years of its life and is part of The University of the Third Age, a nationwide organisation with almost 1000 U3As in the UK, which is part of the international movement which originated in France. Our activity groups meet regularly in and around Haslemere over three academic terms and are as diverse as cooking for men, rambling, reading from Shakespeare, dancing--both English and Scottish, current affairs, and science and technology. For those of a convivial nature, there are lunch clubs and wine appreciation, with the opportunity to work it off with tennis, both table and lawn, petanque and 9-mile hikes. There are many more, too numerous to include here.

We are all -- members, tutors, organisers and committee members -- unpaid volunteers, the ethos of U3A being that we learn from each other and contribute to the groups we join. So if you sign up for local literature, for example, you might be asked to do a little research and bring your own contributions to the group, or participate in readings, inspired by a knowledgeable leader. Cooking for men, or more accurately by men, is just that!

The social side is very important to us all. Most people join groups as individuals, following their own interests, and this makes for lively, refreshing exchanges and new points of view. Friendships (and even romance) can blossom. Ramblers will plan their routes to include
