Please quote the Sandhurst Directory when you contact an advertiser. l 17 I am wri� ng this si� ng on a plane as I go away for a much an� cipated holiday with my family. It is a long haul fl ight so I was looking at the available fi lms to watch to pass the � me. There wasn’t much of a selec� on, so I landed on a fi lm called My Gi� , featuring a hairy version of a George Clooney lookalike, dressed all in white, looking very cool and spiritual, talking direct to camera, telling us that he has a special message for us. I didn’t watch it to the end, as it was very contrived, but I gave it longer than it probably deserved, (well, mainly because of the cool hairy guy!). But the bit I saw did have one ques� on posed. What would you do if you only had one week le� to live? What would you feel that you had missed out on doing? So this guy fl oated around a graveyard with his fl owing white robes and his fl owing salt and pepper locks looking at gravestones with inscrip� ons sugges� ng missed scien� fi c discoveries, unwri� en novels, unpainted masterpieces. You get the idea. But, actually, it isn’t a silly ques� on. Why do we shy away from living the life we want to live? Is it fear, or circumstances that hold us back, or a mixture of both? What do we need to do to achieve our full poten� al? I o� en see people in my therapy room who have gone through a major life change, and I try to help them to see that their future life is like a blank page in a new storybook and they can write their own story going forward. They can make their life become whatever they want it to be. You might say, that’s all very well, but what about my limita� ons? Well, many people overcome and achieve remarkable things through sheer determina� on, and those that don’t? Well perhaps that is their choice. But you only have to watch local news bulle� ns to see inspira� onal stories of people achieving remarkable things despite severe limita� ons. The point is, don’t let fear hold you back. Go for what you want to achieve and if you are needing a bit of assistance, then a few sessions of hypnotherapy will help you to believe in yourself. Hypnotherapy helps people achieve all sorts of things and can help you develop that ‘can do’ a� tude that you need to take the fi rst step. In fact, it might help you to get on that fl ight, (if you have a fl ying phobia) and you might get to watch cool hairy man yourself and fi nd out what his gi� actually was. So. If you want to get in touch, contact me for more informa� on about how hypnotherapy can help you achieve your goals, whatever they might be. You will fi nd me at www.carolynpo� er.co.uk, email: info@carolynpo� er.co.uk By Carolyn Po� er of Crowthorne Hypnotherapy By Carolyn Po� er, of Crowthorne Hypnotherapy and HypnoBirthing Prac� � oner Crowthorne Hypnotherapy Empowering you for a happier life Do you need help with...

28 l THE SANDHURST DIRECTORY Please quote the Sandhurst Directory when you contact an advertiser. The Village Grapevine For me, I quite like the last few months of the year, the crisp mornings, the kaleidoscope of colours from the falling leaves, and there is still plenty happening in the garden to keep you busy and warm! One of the most important jobs is to keep on top of the aforementioned leaves that will start their inevitable journey to the ground, but they make a wonderful soil improver/compost. So even if you haven’t got a compost bin half fi ll some black bin bags, punch a few holes in the bag, you can add a bit of activator if you like to speed the compost process up, and leave in a sheltered area. This time next year, you will have some wonderfully rich crumbly compost. One of my favourite plants in my garden is Tracleospermum and they have turned a beautiful deep vibrant red with the cold weather. The contrast with the glossy green leaves and fragrant white fl owers that they carry most the year make them one of my favourite plants but in the winter months it always sets the mood for the run up to the big day at the end of the year! 28 l THE SANDHURST DIRECTORY
Please quote the Sandhurst Directory when you contact an advertiser. l 29 @TheVillageGrapevine @grapevineasks @thevillagegrapevine www.thevillagegrapevine.co.uk Down the Plot... Although nothing much is actively growing this time of year unless under a cover in some way, there is no get up on jobs to be done. The Garlics and Onions can still be planted ready to swell early next year, and the cold weather puts us in Rootball/Bareroot season where plants are grown in the ground rather than pots, so all fruit trees and bushes will be readily available to purchase or move for that matter and have a good few months to acclimatise to their new home before the weather warms up. The whole plot can be tidied up, from removing the Rhubarb leaves so the crown can get a good frosting; cutting down your asparagus foliage to ground level; to taking down the Runner Beans although leave the roots in the ground as they contain a huge amount of nitrogen to put back into the soil as they break down over winter. Talking of Runner Beans, hopefully you have left some beans on to go brown and dry out so now’s the time to pop the beans out of the pods and store them in a paper bag ready to use next. You can do this for quite a few years, which is especially useful if you have a variety that is hard to get hold of. Elsewhere I will be adding plenty of compost to beds or areas not being used over winter. I have raised beds and never dig in my compost, but let my worm army do their bit and get it into the ground. Brussels and Kale will be coming into their own now and one thing to do with Brussels is stake them if necessary as they can’t stand having their roots disturbed. I’m off to pick the sprouts for Xmas dinner and get them on the boil! A frost does them the word of good too: improves the fl avour no end! That’s all for now and remember, enjoy your garden! Dan Jobs to do... Use the mower to hoover up leaves and debris, just lift the blades Cut down the herbaceous plants to a few inches tall Still just time to get your Onions and Garlic in for a head start next year Avoid walking on the lawn/ grass when frosty Some like to mulch up borders to help plants through the ravages of winter Lift and split any perennials if cold enough Enjoy and embrace the changing season all around you Leave Parsnips in the ground: a frost improves the fl avour Keep on top of the leaves; little and often works for me Top up bird feeders and make sure the bird baths don’t freeze

But for many this will not happen unless careful arrangements have been made to protect their assets from being taken towards the end of their life to pay care home fees. To help protect a couple’s estate, the solution may be a Will incorporating a Trust. A testamentary Trust can only be executed whilst both partners remain alive. Upon death of the fi rst partner, their Will specifi es that their share of the estate is placed in Trust and names the ultimate benefi ciary of this share, normally the children and grandchildren of the deceased. But under the terms of the Trust, the surviving partner has the unequivocal right to remain living in the property and to enjoy the other’s assets for the rest of their life. On the death of the other partner, the Trust comes to an end and the estate passes to the benefi ciaries, and as the surviving partner does not own the deceased’s share of the estate, it is fully protected for the benefi ciaries. So, if the surviving partner requires care, or even remarries, this share of the benefi ciary’s inheritance is protected. This last point can be of particular interest to couples who have children from previous relationships. A Trust can help each person in a relationship ensure that their children inherit their share of the estate. If the surviving partner wants to move, they can still sell the property and use the proceeds to purchase a new property; the terms of the Trust remain over the new property. Westminster Law assesses the circumstances of couples and arranges the Trust that will provide the best protection for them, their family and their assets Preserving Family Wealth WITH WESTMINSTER LAW Westminster Law is the trading name of Westminster South Ltd, a company registered in England & Wales number 10944495, Registered Offi ce Wellesley House, 204 London Road, Waterlooville PO7 7AN.

38 l THE SANDHURST DIRECTORY Back in August we joined friends in Kent for a day festival at The Pig at Bridge, just outside Canterbury, Kent. There is also one held at Lime Wood in the New Forest, so a bit closer to us here. The Smoked & Uncut Festivals have been going for approximately 10 years. The day is an “intimate and home-grown festival that is just as much a celebration of food as it is music”. We were incredibly fortunate that it was a sunny day, which always helps at any outdoors event. The Pig at Bridge is a beautiful pub, restaurant with rooms set in stunning grounds. If you don’t have friends to stay with or it’s a little far to drive back home straight aft er, then there is glamping available – this is expensive as you can imagine, but boasts such luxuries as memory foam mattress beds, USB chargers, bath towels, blankets, torches, flip-flops etc and is available from Friday through to Sunday at Noon. Apparently, the bell tents become booked up really early and are only available for over 18’s. We were lucky enough to stay with friends and just got a taxi back to their house and collected the car on the Sunday morning. Most importantly for some was the music line up: Razorlight, John Illsley of Dire Strait & His Band, Kimberly Nichole, Jai Amore, Toby Lee, Martha Eve and Will James. They were all brilliant and the crowds were up and dancing! Great lighting and a central stage that was easy to see from wherever you had set up camp with your own chairs and blankets. Drinking water is constantly refillable for free, but bringing your own food and drink is forbidden and they do check, although I notice some people had imaginative ways of sneaking in their own alcohol!! “Being with friends catching up and enjoying the vibe as much as the music made it a wonderful, happy day.” The whole place runs a cashless system that worked brilliantly on wrist bands and any money not spent was quickly refunded within a few days. As you can imagine the drinks and food were not cheap, but they were plentiful. There are numerous bars selling a huge variety of beers, ales, artisan cocktails, ciders, English Fizz, no and low cocktails and soft drinks. Timing when to go up to get a drink to avoid long queues is an art form! The food stalls are equally varied and was all truly delicious. Fancy a massage while you’re there – no problem! There is The Field Spa off ering a variety of massages. For your children there is The Den off ering family activities and children are very welcome at the day. If you’d like to sparkle up and channel festival vibes, then visit the Glitter Bar. If you’re feeling in the shopping mood there is an artisan market full of goodies. We had a wonderful day with a group of friends and would definitely go again, although I imagine like all festivals it’s more fun if the rain holds off and that is never guaranteed!

40 l THE SANDHURST DIRECTORY A perfect winter party dessert, this cranberry roulade looks fabulous, festive and fun. Fresh and light, the tartness of the cranberries compliments the sweetness of the meringue beautifully. Plus it’s quick to make and can be frozen, making easy entertaining simple. Preparation Time: 20 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes Cranberry Meringue roulade with CoinTreau orange CreaM Serves 8
Please quote the Sandhurst Directory when you contact an advertiser. l 41 Serves: makes 700ml Prep time: 30 mins plus 4 weeks to steep Cooking time: 5 minutes Cranberry gin www.berryworld.com you’ll need: For the meringue 5 eggs whites 275g caster sugar 50g flaked almonds For the filling 250g fresh cranberries 100g caster sugar grated zest and juice of half an orange 300ml double cream 3 tbsps Cointreau What to do: l Preheat the oven to 200°C / Gas Mark 6. Line a 35cmx23cm Swiss roll tin with lightly greased baking parchment. l Whisk the egg whites until very stiff, then gradually add the sugar. Spread the meringue into the prepared tin and sprinkle with the almonds. l Bake in the oven for 10 minutes then reduce the heat to 160°C / Gas Mark 3 and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn almond side down on to a sheet of baking parchment, allow to cool. l To make the filling, place the cranberries in a saucepan with the sugar, orange juice and zest and simmer until softened and syrupy. Then take off the heat and allow to cool. l When ready to assemble whisk the cream and the Cointreau until the mixture stands in soft peaks. Spread the cool cranberry mixture evenly over the roulade then spread the cream over. Roll up from the long end fairly tightly, don’t worry if it cracks a little. Place on a serving plate and chill before serving. Cooks Tip: For that extra wow factor decorate with chocolate holly leaves and delicious crystallised fresh cranberries. For the holly leaves paint melted chocolate onto the back of clean holly or bay leaves, allow to set in the fridge, repeat with another layer of chocolate and set again. Carefully peel off. To make crystallised cranberries, soak fresh uncooked cranberries in a sugar syrup, roll in caster sugar and allow to dry for a few hours. To freeze: Place the filled and rolled roulade on a suitable platter, open freeze overnight then wrap in a double layer of foil. Allow to defrost slowly for several hours. What to do: l Wash the cranberries and put into a sterilised preserving jar. Pour over the gin, seal the lid and put in a dark cool cupboard to steep for at least 4 weeks. In the first week invert the bottle every other day and once a week for the rest of the time. l Once the berries have steeped and you’re ready to bottle, put the sugar and water into a small saucepan over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. l Strain the now flavoured gin into a jug through some muslin.

Editor, The Sandhurst Directory LLP Editor: Jessica Robinson T: 07505 671419 E: coordinator@ sandhurstdirectory.co.uk Design: Sharon Hawkins - mpg “We have clearly had great success promoting with the Sandhurst Directory. Many customers have come in and commented that ‘your new shop came through our door’: they discovered us and used our exclusive voucher. Gaining awareness and converting adverts into transactions and new customers is key to a new business like ours, and the Directory has certainly done that for us. We will be back for repeat adverts throughout the year to continue the awareness of our wine bar and shop. Thank you Nick Mantella – The Wine Yard “We’ve had good responses from the advert so far, therefore we’ll keep it the same for the next print.” Howard Oliver Design Ltd (Kitchens) “I’d like to take the opportunity to thank you for the support from your publication over the last few years which has brought me a regular supply of new customers.” Andy Nicholas, The Rite One “Yes please Jessica, happy to renew. This past year has been one of my best from my Sandhurst directory advert” Simon Green Services (Oven Cleaning) “We have done extremely well since we fi rst started advertising through the magazine. You are fantastic and sort out everything, which makes it so easy. We will defi nitely be staying with the Sandhurst Directory and we would totally recommend any business to advertise in this magazine”. ML Solutions Ltd “Would love to continue. Sandhurst Directory gets me a lot of business so it’s a no brainier for me. If you send the invoice through I’ll pay it straight away”. Steve Sullivan, Stamel Electrics “Thanks for the revised artwork – MY GOODNESS the phone is non stop as a result. People are getting in touch now for the smallest of jobs, which is fi ne with me, still along with the bigger ones…. I just thought that a little bit of feedback might be of some use. Your magazine seems well read and well used. I don’t actually have a website and am not bothered about getting one either. Your magazine serves me fi ne with the level of enquiries I get”.
