At Blush!Party Season

A s usual it’s been a busy couple ofmonths for the Life in Haslemereteam. The annual Haslemere

Food Festival, along with the belovedBeer Festival, treated us to a range oflocal delights. The first ever WineFesttaught us about the wonders of localwine. And we were taken back in timewith the Goodwood Revival, for aweekend of style and speed. Now as weenter the winter months, our thoughtsare beginning to turn to Christmas. While for some this mayseem premature, the months will soon pass and before we knowit we will be having our annual Christmas crisises. So to avoid thetraditional rush, we’ve put together a special early Christmas giftguide, filled with plenty of gift ideas to treat our loved ones to thisyear. For those feeling anxious about the approaching ChristmasParties, we’ve been talking to Haslemere’s experts discovering ‘dosand don’ts’ for the perfect Christmas do!

But don’t worry, if you’d rather keep Christmas out of your mind(well for another couple of months at least!) we’ve also got featureson how to get fit this fall, interviews with some of the area’s mosttalented artists and an indulgent range of dessert recipes tocelebrate national dessert month.

See you next issue!

Words Sam FaulknerThe second weekend of September saw thefirst night of the 6th annual Haslemere BeerFestival, with tickets swiftly selling out asreal ale fans descended on Haslemere Hallin their droves to sample the best tippleslocal, and slightly further flung, brewerieshad to offer.

In many ways, the hall is the perfectvenue for a beer festival, with the largeauditorium giving ample room for drinkers- although naturally the bar area tends tobecome relatively congested! The stage

provided a welcome oasis from the crush, aswell as offering a chance to nod along to thevarious musicians that add to the alreadyconvivial atmosphere. The festival takesthe classic format of throwing in a souvenirpint glass with the ticket price, with asort of bureau de change system sellingbeer tokens (at a very agreeable exchangerate), which speeds up the ordering (anddrinking!) process.

The tokens can also be exchanged forfood, and while the smell of cookingsausages was a tempting one, in the nameof hard-hitting investigative journalism wedecided to check out the real star of theevent - the beer.

Faced with an intimidating selection of 42beers and 11 ciders, the natural approachseemed to be to sample as wide a range ofbeers as was possible. With safer optionsreadily available, the temptation shouldalways be avoided to stick to one familiarbeer, as discovering new flavours is reallywhat this sort of evening is about. Oneof the scene-stealing beers on offer wasHavant brewery’s ever-popular ‘StoppedDancing’, a hoppy, summery fresh tastingtreat that makes a second glass hard toresist.

Moving into less familiar territory,Portsmouth’s Irving brewery suppliedtheir dark, complex offering, ‘Captain B’s’.A sweet, spiced rum-flavoured beer, thestrong notes and high ABV meant this wasperhaps not a gateway beer, but one heckof a tasty pint all the same. Other unusualflavours that would make dedicatedlager fans think twice included Titanic’s‘Chocolate and Vanilla Stout’. Chocolateis a tricky taste to get right in a beer, butthe brewery from Stoke have managed tocreate a seriously rich and tasty offeringhere. This was the kind of drink that makes

Haslemere Beer Festival 2012a dedicated real beer fan smile, and thesheer craftsmanship of all the entries is tobe admired.

Real beer is on the rise in this country,and the Haslemere Beer Festival is a greatexample of why. With the sheer range ofdrinks on offer, with ABVs going from aslow as 3% to as high as 7.3%, and a range offlavours to make Heston Blumenthal blush,you simply don’t get this with a glass of thefizzy stuff. Roll on the seventh year - we’llsee you there!

Marley Flowers is on the move - not far, in fact just next door! A combination of tough trading conditions over the last fewyears and the opportunity to remain in the High Street but cut overheads has given rise to this sideways shift. The businesshas been owned and run by Brian & Diana Howard for almost 40 years, with their daughter, Melissa King joining them about20 years ago.

“Whilst we may be relinquishing the most prominant site in town, we are gaining the chance to re-invent ourselves”, saidMelissa, who plans to take over the town centre flower shop to let her parents take a well earned retirement. Melissa ex-plained that “it is essential to evolve and alter your offering to reflect the changing market. We are very excited about the newchallenges ahead and look forward to showing off our stunning new product ranges! We will formally launch our new brandof ʻGifts to goʼ as the doors open at the end of October on a new look Marley Flowers - Haslemereʼs one stop gift shop!”

Before the partyNice nailsFor perfect nails, Lyn Leggett at Lily- MarieNail boutique says:• Do prepare your nails properly for theperfect paint finish• Don’t be afraid of colour - match or clashwith your outfit!• Do have fun with colour - its all aboutBerry Hues this season• Don’t forget a base coat to protect yournails from staining• Do book your appointment early to avoiddisappointment!

Happy feetTo avoid the typical end of night painsin your feet this year Hengelo owner KatePayne advises:

• Don’t get caught out in your heels,take a pair of Cocorose Londonfoldable ballet pumps - a musthave for every party girl!!

• Do get an ice pack. If wearingheels are a must, banish the pain

when you get home by using anice pack of ice cubes wrapped

in a towel, to reduce swellingand pain. Try elevating your

feet by putting a pillowunder them (even

while you sleep)to help reduceinflammation.

Make upFor flawless makeup, Lisa

Huggins from the Luxury Gaprecommends:

• Do prep in advance: facials, waxing,

tanning etc should all be done at least 24hours in advance in order to take effect orfor any reaction to calm down, (e.g. Theinitial redness from waxing).

• Don’t wax and tan within 24 hours of eachother, again skin becomes sensitised by eachtreatment so it can increase the reaction ifundertaken too soon. And don’t forget tosparkle, ESPA’s Body Silk Spray contains IncaInchi oil to nourish, refining Rose Hip tosoften with Pomegranate and Chia to workagainst environmental aggressors leavingyour skin with a beautiful shine and a smellthat’s divine.

Makeup expert Jenna Wade, continues:

• Do wear a statement red lipstick teamedwith a liquid eye line ending in a 60’s styleflick. The red lip will match your Santaoutfit! To go that extra mile add a gold eyeshadow.

• Don’t go to wild with a black smokey eyeAND bold lip colour, both are great but itmust be one or the other!

• Don’t wear lots of make up if you arewearing an ‘out there’ dress. Keep it simplewith clear skin, pink blush and a lick ofmascara.

However, if you’re fed up of leaving theChristmas party with smudged eyes andworn off lipstick, then Jan Jordan at theHartley Clinic recommends semi permanentmake up.“You’ll leave the party looking justhow you did when you arrived.Your lipstickwon’t be left on your wine glass and your eyemakeup won’t be down your face.”

• Do: take your pick of lips, eyebrows andeyelash treatments for natural results thatwill leave you looking naturally flawless onyour Christmas do.

• Don’t: forget it takes a week for yourtreatment to heal before you can reapplymakeup.

What to doand not todo at yourChristmas doWarning! Before attending any Christmas party ensure you read our Christmasparty dos and don’ts carefully to avoid the traditional annual festive mishaps

Perfect dressWhen it comes to the outfit Ellie Jordanfrom Starfish suggests:

• Do choose a dress that you feelcomfortable in and flatters your figure.Then turn heads with an eye-catching print.

While Heather Slater from Clova says:

• Don’t be boring avoid the little black dress.

• Do add a bit of sparkle to stand out fromthe crowd!

At the partyArrive in styleWhile it may be tempting to arrivefashionably late, Hannah at Old Thornssays:

• Don’t arrive late. You risk missing thestarter or even main course, as well aspotentially missing out on that all importantsocialising with your colleagues.

Also, be weary of drinking too muchbefore you arrive: It’s much better to paceyourselves so you can enjoy the deliciousmeal, and see the night through to the end.

For flirting success Dr Simon Moore says:

• Do smile. Smiling is the most effective toolin a flirting toolbox - people like you moreand think you’re more attractive if you smileat them.

• Do lean in towards the other person.

• Don’t stare at the ground. Take sidewaysglances - when you’re attracted to someone,you can’t help checking out their assets.

• Don’t be too serious. Laughing can endearyou to the other person.

• Do try mirroring - people mirror eachother’s body language when they’reattracted with similar gestures.

Festive foodTo enjoy the food at your party without theguilt, Carrie Ross at Grayshott Spa advises:

Snacks & Nibbles

• Do go for vegetable crudités, low-fat dips,cold meat, cocktail sausages and unsaltednuts.

• Don’t go overboard on the crisps, quiche,sausage rolls and salted nuts.

Main Meal

• Do choose smoked salmon as a healthychoice for a starter.

• Do pick turkey over fattier goose or duck(but don’t have the skin)

• Do choose chestnut, cranberry or apricotstuffing, instead of sausage.

Dessert• Do try topless mince pies or use filo pastryto make.

• Do choose an un-iced Christmas cake.

• Do eat Christmas pudding with low-fatcustard. Don’t have brandy butter or cream!

After the partyThe hangoverIf the party has been any good it is morethan likely you’ll have a hangover,therefore:

• Don’t think the hair of the dog is going tohelp one bit.

• Do hydrate! Most hangover symptomsare caused by dehydration as alcohol is adiuretic. It also eats up the body’s store ofvitamins and minerals and reduces bloodsugar levels - which might explain thethrobbing headache. Water, and lots of it,is the best cure. In fact, following everyalcoholic drink on a night out with a glassof water is said to help stave off a hangover.But if you’re still suffering the next day, athin veggie-based broth (with bouillon)should help to replace your body’s lostvitamins and minerals.

Balancing actAccording to acupuncture expert, SimonCasciano BSc MBAcC, in autumn the life-giving force of the sun begins to wane andconsequently it is a time for us to gatherour energies and live more resourcefully.“Trees shed leaves and squirrels gathernuts to focus on essentials and we tooshould ask the essential question: Is mybody well enough to look after me over thelong winter months?” Simon explains. “Anacupuncture treatment might therefore besomething worth considering.”

Simon believes acupuncture balances thebody and fosters improved functioning onall levels - in a way that is appropriate to theseason. This is why acupuncture is typicallyreceived four times a year as ‘preventative’medicine in the Orient.Acupuncture Health Centre, 01428 643015

Stay connectedAnother method used to restore the health’snatural balance is reflexology. SamanthaHardwick from Timeout Massage says,“Reflexology is a gentle therapy whichencourages the body to work naturally torestore its own healthy balance. It may helpto strengthen your immune system as weenter the autumn/winter months.”

This alternative therapy is based on theprinciple that the reflex points on the feet

or hands are connected to correspondingareas throughout the body. In this way,the feet or hands can be seen as a ‘map’ ofthe body. Pressure point techniques onthe feet or hands are used to help releasetensions and encourage your body’s naturalhealing processes to boost general healthand well-being. Samantha continues,“It may help to restore and maintain thebody’s natural equilibrium and with: backpain, headaches, fertility issues, digestivedisorders, sleep disturbance, sportsinjuries, hormonal imbalances and stress-related conditions.”Timeout Massage, 07974 682525

Get physicalThe dark, cold mornings and evenings aremore likely to turn your thoughts to duvetsand log fires rather than lycra, but Rachaelat Uniq Physique gym believes we shouldn’tlet the new season discourage us fromexercising.

“Exercise is an essential part of a healthylifestyle, whatever the season. You shouldstill aim to do physical activity for at least30 minutes on five days of the week. Chosean activity you enjoy doing or join a club/gym to keep you motivated.”

Rachael advises exercising regularly tomaintain your energy levels and boostyour body’s immune system - thus warding

of the seasonal coughs and colds. “Beingactive, particularly outdoors in the daylight,will also boost your mood as exposure tosunlight increases production of VitaminD3 in the body – helping to reducesymptoms of SAD (Seasonal AffectiveDisorder).”

For those struggling to get back in theswing of exercise after the summer as weenter the cooler season, Personal Trainer,Robert Elford also recommends trying thefollowing on any piece of cardio kit e.g.running machine, stepper, rower, crosstrainer or bike.l Complete a thorough warm-up.l Once warm, try and sprint on your

chosen piece of kit for 30sec, then giveyourself one min at a nice comfortablepace.

l Try to complete this five times in yourfirst session.

l Each time you go back to the gym, tryand add in another couple of intervalsand push yourself!

l If you are able to train three to four timesa week complete this for two weeks andthen go back to your normal training.

Kellen Kuipers, Hamilton Li and JanOberfeld of King Edward’s all competed inthe Gothia World Youth Cup in Gothenburg.The three pupils were selected for an Under18 representative side called ‘Elite FootballFC’ coached by King Edward’s Director ofFootball, Dan Abraham.

Prior to the trip to Sweden, the playershad five demanding training sessions andhad their diets and fitness levels carefullymonitored. They were also shown videoanalysis of their performances in the team’sfriendly games during the build up to thetournament.

The team were drawn in a very difficultgroup, and were unfortunate to finish

in third place to qualify for the Platecompetition. A comfortable 4-0 win overGermany’s FC Marzahn, in front of a largecrowd at the Heden Centre pitches, got theteam off to the perfect start in the knock-out stage with Hamilton Li particularlyimpressive in the match. The team thenbeat ISA Italia 2-0 and KFC Zwarte Leeuw3-0 to reach the quarter-finals with JanOberfeld playing a key role at centre back.

The team successfully reached the semi-finals and the three boys are currentlylooking forward to representing KingEdward’s 1st XI this season.

Research is consistently showing that boysare being out-performed by girls right theway through the education system fromnursery to university.

A recent government study found that,as a rule, girls tend to be more ‘compliantand passive recipients of new skills andknowledge’ which suits the way teachingand learning is currently delivered in mostschools. 87% of primary teachers are female.Half of boys aged between five and 11 haveno contact with male teachers. Researchsuggests that boys need positive malerole models more than girls need positivefemale role models. The TDA, a nationalagency, is concerned about the increased

‘feminisation’ of the curriculum. Researchsuggests teachers particularly favour pupilswho are compliant learners which, as a rule,suits girls. Steve Maynard states: “Girls aremore likely to do what they are told; they arekeen to please the teacher.”

The DCSF report adds: “The qualities andskills that are most valued by schools, theability to communicate orally and representideas on paper, are often the very aspectsof learning that boys find most difficult.”The demands of the National Curriculumand SATs tests have also squeezed PE andcreative subjects, ones typically moremotivational for boys. Boys can becomeconscious of this educational divide in a

mixed setting, which often results in thembecoming de-motivated.

Haslemere Preparatory School’smanagement team has been short-listed inthe National Independent Schools Awards2012. Of the four schools selected, HPS isthe only prep school to be nominated forthe ‘Outstanding Senior Leadership TeamAward’ category, alongside three large, well-known senior schools: Caterham School,Cheltenham College and Surbiton HighSchool.

Why are boys being out-performed by girls at school?

Meet the headWith 20 years education experience, Bedalesprep school, Dunhurst welcomed newhead Jane Grubb. Jane has always enjoyedteaching and has a particular interest inart. “I was Head of Art for eight years atmy previous school and then joined theirSenior Team as a Year Head before becomingAcademic Deputy Head. For the last threeyears there, my focus turned to redesigningthe religion, ethics and philosophy courseand teaching English - the pupils reallymade me think!” Jane was attracted toBedales prep school, Dunhurst and theway it enables pupils to excel academicallyand in other areas, using engaging andenjoyable techniques, rather than taxingand methodical. “There is a huge breadthof activities and opportunities and theemphasis is placed on the pupils to makechoices and think for themselves, ratherthan being spoon fed.”

Jane hopes to continue the success Bedalesprep school, Dunhurst has already achievedand is particularly interested in working withthe Arts and Sports departments as well asthe school’s boarding house. “Children excelacademically when lessons are engaging,challenging and motivating and leave thepupils wanting more. We have a superb staffteam and I will continue to look to appointthe most innovative and inspiring teachersto ensure that our pupils get the very besteducational experience. I love the idea ofengendering creativity and freedom in thecurriculum – this approach is part of Bedaleshistory and ethos, which is why the schoolleads the education sector in this area.”

All that hard work in the summer tocreate the wonderful garden, and now thedeckchairs are closed, umbrellas put away,and barely a backwards glance as you dashup to the house in the early winter gloom. Itdoesn’t have to be this way. By using just afew select lights your garden should look asgood at night as it does in the day. Lightingat night brings the garden to your house,it provides wonderful forms and features,creates a lasting impression on your visitors,and allows you to enjoy your garden 365days a year around the clock.

Here at Graduate we offer our clientslighting as an integral part of the wholedesign. It’s very easy. You will firstly need apower supply and we provide an electricianto put in all-weather sockets. We use lightsparingly, picking out a specimen tree,

or perhaps a piece of Artwork. Using lowvoltage LED lighting attached to trees canturn a fairly boring space into a children’sexciting dream world wrapped into aChristmas theme with fairies thrown in.

When drawing up a garden design, weintegrate the lighting from the start ratherlater as an afterthought. An herbaceousborder can have a new lease of life at nightin the winter, when the crisp frosty coldcreates dramatic shapes and forms aroundthose long faded stems and blooms. Anarea of patio or decking can have subtleedging lighting to remind you exactlywhat’s out there, and keep those summermemories fresh. Lighting can illuminate aforgotten pathway, make the garden seembigger, create shapes and shadows younever thought possible. Mood boards arethe order of the day, and our schemes oftenfocus on evening views with lighting.

Install a lighting scheme in the autumn andenjoy the warmth of your home throughthe colder months without having to climbtrees in December and while the electriciancan still feel his hands!

The four-month promotion by localretailers helped to boost businessduring the lengthy closure ofLower Street for essential gas mainreplacement. Many of the town centrebusinesses contributed towards theregular draws during the promotion,giving shoppers the incentive to winweekly prizes worth £25-£75, month-end prizes worth £200-£250, and thegrand prize of a New York holiday.

The Humberstone’s prize wassponsored by Southern Gas Networks(flights) and Haslemere Travel (twonights at a luxury boutique hotelin midtown Manhattan). The travelagency will also handle the bookingswhen the departure date is decided.

With the completion of the gas mainreplacement, Haslemere businessesare looking forward to a full return tonormal trading.

Julianne Evans, president of theHaslemere and District Chamber ofTrade and Commerce, says: “Mostretailers in the High Street areasuffered major turnover losses duringthe project. Other factors such as theOlympics, the Diamond Jubilee and thebad weather may also have impactedHaslemere sales figures, but they do notfully explain the sheer decline in footfallin the High Street that we noticed assoon as the barriers went up at the endof April.

“The greatest bugbear for businessowners was the significant drop inthrough traffic and the resulting declinein out-of-town shoppers put off by the‘closure’ warnings on all major routes –

and the fear of negotiating diversionsto reach the town’s central car parks.

“The town is now fully ‘open’ andwe are already seeing encouragingsigns with customers coming back toHaslemere in greater numbers.”

Despite the pressure on Haslemere’stills, Mrs Evans says the road closurehas brought a new degree of cohesionand co-operation among local retailers– especially through the Spend and Winpromotion.

Echoing this view, HaslemereTravel Managing Director, GemmaAntrobus, says: “The promotion was awonderful example of retailers workingcollectively for a common cause – and asignificant help in reassuring shoppersthat Haslemere was open for businessduring the roadworks.”

And Marley Flowers’ MelissaKing, one of the organisers of thepromotion, says: “We began with theidea of securing just 16 prizes – onefor each week of the road closure –but the response from retailers wastremendous so we were able to makethe competition much more attractiveto shoppers.”

Mrs Evans says: “I would like tosee local shops and the town as awhole doing much more to promoteHaslemere as a retail and gastronomicdestination. We need to increasesupport from local residents and thosein surrounding towns and villages– perhaps even further afield. We havemuch to offer, and we need to makethis more widely known. This will be apriority for our Chamber.”

care

Anju Tuldhar.Brownscombe House Nursing HomeCHD Living

I was inspired to becomea carer by...The love, caring and nurturing of theelderly. I wanted to help the community toprevent illness and maintain their health.I enjoyed nursing my elderly grandparentsand this inspired me to be a carer.

The best thing about beinga carer is…

Being able to communicate with theresidents and empathise and provideholistic care that is person centred.

Meet thecarers

Good carers are the backbone of any happy care home. Here we meetsome of Haslemere’s best carers and find out why they chose this career

The best advice I can giveanyone who is dealing with aloved one about to be admittedinto a care home is...

A care home is a homely, conduciveenvironment that provides and caters forthe unique needs of the elderly.

Anju Tuldhar.Brownscombe House Nursing HomeCHD Living (Care Homes of Distinction),Hindhead Road, Haslemere, Surrey, GU27 3PL ,01428 643 528

I became a carer because...I was encouraged to join the care industryby my wife, who herself has been in the caresector for over 40 years. She saw in me thepotential to become a very good carer. I hadspent many years working in the leisureand hotel trades which it transpires hadinstilled in me the qualities necessary tobe a successful carer (an understanding ofpeoples’ needs both in good times and bad).

The best thing about beinga carer is...

Having the opportunity to improve the livesof those who, for whatever reasons, areunable to fully tend to their own needs.

The best advice I can give anyonewho is dealing with a loved oneabout to be admitted into a carehome is...

Be honest with them, explaining fullywhy it is the right decision for their futurewelfare even if it doesn’t appear that way atfirst, involve someone from the care home,it may help, point out that professionalcarers are trained to meet their needsand that day to day contact with all theirnetwork of friends and family is activelyencouraged by the care home that has beenselected.

Tony Hanwell,Team Leader at Huntington House NursingHome, Hindhead, Surrey, GU26 6BG,01428 604600

I was inspired to becomea carer by...A friend of mine who used to work as a carerand shared her experiences about this jobwith me. I always looked for interesting,extraordinary and satisfying work and herstories corresponded with my expectations.She knows me well and encouraged meto try, she was a great support and gaveme all the details and tips needed at thebeginning. She told me how demanding thiswork is sometimes but she also explainedthat really big satisfaction comes with bigresponsibilities. She convinced me to take thechallenge and I never regretted this move.

The best thing about beinga carer is...

Of course the opportunity to care .Why it’simportant to me? Because I’m an empathicperson and I always want to help in allcircumstances. Essential also is the sense ofdoing something good (and being a carergives you this). Lastly, the best thing in beinga carer for me is a positive response from allthe people whom I’ve been taking care of .

I would advise people…

Not to worry too much and have trust inthe people working there, they will give thisperson the best possible level of care.

Giselle Snell –Grayshott PotteryWhat inspired you to get into pottery?I was inspired to become a decorator inthe glazing department here at GrayshottPottery because I have always beeninterested in art and I love all things pottery.It doesn’t matter what it is – it is organic andemotional for me. My family encouragedme into pottery. My two nieces work herein the glazing department and severalmembers of my husband’s family are pottersso I have really been surrounded with it. It isa real privilege for me to work here.

What makes your work unique?I think I put a bit of me into my work. Ipick up my colour combinations fromnature and life experiences. I have createdindividual pieces for the Pottery but I havedesigned two main ranges– Haven andEclore.Haven is a limited edition range. It’s aseaside scene inspired by a stay in LymeRegis- looking back from the Cobb,(theharbour wall), to the hotel where I wasstaying. As I work on the design I thinkabout the people in the little cottages I ampainting. I was brought up by the sea so thistakes me back. My second range is Eclore– which means ‘to bloom’ so it is all aboutexuberance and based on the colours andshapes of summer flowers - the lushnessreally.

What do you find most challenging?The glazes can be challenging becausethey are reactive glazes. So when you aredesigning you have to think about the shapeof the pot and what glazes go where. Theweather, the temperature of the kiln andeven the thickness of the glaze dictate theoutcome. So it is exciting too!

Taking us from prehistoricjars to tiles on the spaceshuttles, both pottery andceramics have played anessential role in humanculture for thousands ofyears. But as we entera new generation ofcreativity, we talk to twoinnovative artists abouttheir chosen art formsand what makes theircreations unique

Jaroslav Hrustalenko –Ceramic ArtWhat inspired you to get involved withCeramics?I always wanted to do painting in the firstplace, particularly human body and portrait.Craft wise I was most attracted to glassbut the only art college I could go to hadCeramics, Wood Carving and Metal Smithdepartments only. Since ceramics felt closestto glass I chose to apply there. Besides,ceramics offered longest hours on painting.It only took me to try clay on the wheel onceto realise I made the best possible choice.

What makes your work unique?I consider it is passion for stylistic diversityand consistency within a particularly chosenstyle. The collection of artworks I namedGeological Ceramics is my signature seriesthat I built using very specific techniquesand expressive means I developed myselfbeing continuously inspired by the nature.

How does nature inspire you?I have always been fascinated by theforms, colour combinations and patternsobservable in both microscopic worldand the vast of universe. I find Nature thegreatest creator since it never really repeatsitself in a sense. Its graphic qualities makeperfect expressive means for my creativepractice regardless from the medium Ichoose.

How do you work with nature?Over a couple of decades of research Imanaged to reconstruct some geologicalprocesses that take place in the Earthcrust formation, particularly semi-precious stones like amethyst, malachite,agate and jasper. The nature forces bestdescribed as “controlled chaos” usually takemillions of years to form these wonderfulminerals. Having improved the techniquesI previously invented I now manage tocomplete the same processes in porcelainor stoneware within three to twenty fourmonths in my studio.

Where else do you find inspiration?I have taken in (and on) the vast culturalheritage of Ukraine, Hungary, Slovenia, theBalkans, Russia, Kenya and Taiwan. Theseare the places I have actually lived, workedand integrated - each time through thelocal language and culture rather than justvisiting as a tourist. I finally found a quiethaven in the South East of England whereI graduated at the Masters level of Art inContemporary Crafts - Ceramics.

What has been your proudestachievement?There is something magic and almosthypnotizing about the light of fire in ourhome. The fire feeds us, gives warmth andlight. Shaped into an artwork a source oflight becomes an important part of ourprivate space, turning the interior into acomfort zone, helps concentration andmeditation. I believe my Table Lamps andWall Lights represent my idea of an artworkself-lit, a contemporary and traditionalinterior design concept, a statement andsolution at the same time.

Jaroslav Hrustalenko – Ceramic Art,07896 254 791, www.hrustalenko.co.uk

What has been your biggest potterychallenge?My biggest challenge so far was a handthrown lamp base over 4 foot tall in Eclorewhich took mea day to decorate. Because of its size Ihad to do it in sections. First I did theunderglaze, I then applied the wax design,using a slip trailer and then I had to buildup around 10 or 12 other glazes.

What is the journey of the clay?These are our free midweek tours that ourvisitors to Grayshott Pottery can book withus. It is a chance to experience a greatBritish pottery in action– but please dobook.There is more information on our websitewww.grayshottpottery.com or you can callus on 01428 604404.

This November the Grayshott Stagers willbare all with their performance of Tim Firth’sCalendar Girls.

Based on a true story, the play sees a groupof extraordinary women from a very ordinaryYorkshire Women’s Institute, spark a globalphenomenon when they pose for a charitycalendar with a difference.

Roles in the Grayshott production werehighly sought after as Tony Legat fromGrayshott Stagers explains, “There were threeto four ladies vying for each part. The eventuallarge and very talented cast, hails from asfar afield as Alton, Haslemere, Farnham,Bordon, Beacon Hill, Liphook and, of courseGrayshott.”

The Grayshott Stagers will also face theadditional challenge of competing with atleast three other local societies who are alsoputting on the play at the same time. This isbecause normally, when a society gets therights to perform a show, it is then restrictedso that others within a certain radius cannotalso perform it. However, with Calendar Girls,the publishers Samuel French Ltd. have liftedthese restrictions for a period of eighteenmonths in a bid to achieve a GuinnessBook of Records for the largest number ofperformances of a play within that time andto provide funds for Leukaemia Research. Aproportion of all royalties will be donated tothem.Performances at Grayshott Village Hall are on22 to 24 November at 7.30pm. Tickets at £10 areavailable now and www.grayshottstagers.co.ukand will be on sale at Grayshott Books,The Square, Grayshott,01428 604798 from29 October.

East Hampshire District Council will continueits search for an operator to run a naturalburial ground after a tender process producedno submissions that met the necessary criteria.

Experienced operators were invited to tenderfor the opportunity to run a proposed naturalburial ground between the wards of Grayshottand Headley.

Cllr Richard Millard, EHDC Portfolio Holderfor Assets and Contracts, said: “Unfortunatelywe did not receive a bid that was compliant

with the council’s stringent requirements andwe can’t compromise on this important projectfor the local area.

“This is not the end of the story; it is justa chapter in the book. The council is stillcommitted to delivering a natural burialground on this site.”

The ground, called Heatherley Wood, waspreviously used for commercial purposes buthas been turned back into green heathlandthanks to extensive landscaping and planting

work. It will cater for those who have chosen amore ecological and environmentally-friendlyburial.

Natural burials, also called woodland orgreen burials, use sustainable burial practices,such as coffins made of bio-degradablematerials, and planting memorial trees insteadof head stones.

They are not affiliated to any religion andall are welcome to request a burial and have aservice of interment.

A creative and innovative project forGrayshott teenagers moved a step closerto realisation, with the first £500 donationtowards the employment of a youth workerfor the village.

Three groups in the village have gottogether to raise the money for a youthworker to start in 2013. St. Luke’s Church,the Parish Council and St. Edmund’s Schoolhave been working together for a year toshape the plans and now fundraising is infull swing.

St. Edmund’s will employ the youth worker

for as many hours a week that the Churchand Village cannot fund. This guaranteesthe project’s financial security but also givesthe whole village the chance to get behindthe project to raise as much as possible andso maximise the hours available for youthwork.

Moray Thomas, Vicar of St. Luke’s, says:“It is another wonderful tribute to thecommunity spirit of the village that thisproject has begun. There is an excitingfuture for the teenagers of Grayshott.”www.stlukes-grayshott.org
