Judith

I was having a coffee the other day with a friend in

Haslemere, (well, ok, a coffee and a delicious cake) when I

remembered I needed to buy a birthday present. Too late

for the internet. Luckily a wander around the shops and I

found a perfect gift that’s just right. How fortunate I am

that Haslemere still has a good selection of independent

shops for us all to enjoy, whether for a planned shop or for

that impulse buy.

You may have read in the papers recently about residents

of Sherborne in Dorset protesting against plans for a certain

supermarket to be built just outside the town. Shops

closed during the protest as a sign of support and the vast

majority of people in the town are not in favour of this

development as they can see it would damage the

character and prosperity of the town. As in so many other

places this is a David versus Goliath battle and I wish them

success.

However, we all have our part to play in keeping our town

centres lively and interesting. For starters, we are all

responsible for where we shop. I know I am not alone in

being guilty of internet shopping and buying groceries at an

out-of-town supermarket. Very convenient, but then if my

town centre begins to die, I am of course partly to blame

for its demise .

What will we do when the only thing in our precious town

centres is an “eating experience”? What will distinguish a

town in Surrey from a town in Yorkshire? If there are only

chains of the same coffee shops or restaurants and

enormous out-of-town supermarkets for our groceries, our

town centres will die. Impulse buys will become a thing of

the past—no longer possible because there will be no shops

left. Don’t let it happen. Support your local shops.

Now I’ll be the first to admit I

don’t know a lot about horses

other than, I know which end

bites and which end kicks!

However, Annelies Klinker,

one of our physiotherapists at

Healthflex Haslemere has

been working with both

horses and their riders for

many years. She co-runs a

veterinary, physiotherapy

business where she looks

after both horses and their

riders’ with their musculo-

skeletal requirements.

As well as injury management, she is

keen to stress with the riders the

importance of how improving your

riding posture, general strength, core

stability and fitness can not only

enhance your performance but also

reduce the chances of injury, to both

the rider and the horse.

She is happy to assess riders of all

abilities and give them a specific

exercise program to improve their

balance, sitting posture and core

strength which will help them get the

most out of their riding.

If you would like to have an

appointment with Annelies or would

like more information about the

services we provide at Healthflex,

please contact our reception on

Fitness Tip for April Set yourself up to succeed!

www.fitzbiztraining.co.uk

We’ve all decided “this time will be

different” and started a health kick saying

you’ll get up at 5am to go to the gym and

you’ll never touch a chocolate chip cookie

ever again… But if it didn’t work before,

why will it work now?

Make it easy for yourself - set yourself up

to succeed - if you have 20 minutes to kill

before picking the kids up most days, but

by that time you’re too tired to do a

“proper workout”, how about you commit

yourself to, say, going for a 5 minute walk

in that time. Make it REALLY easy. Make

yourself feel like you’re succeeding, then

you can build on it. Sneak in the good

habits (both exercise and nutrition) up on

yourself slowly - they’re much more likely

to stick that way!

HardHardHardHardHardHardHardHardHardHardHardHard LandscapingLandscapingLandscapingLandscapingLandscapingLandscapingLandscapingLandscapingLandscapingLandscapingLandscapingLandscaping With so much variety of

paving products on the

market it can be difficult to

select the right one for your

requirements. Whether it’s

Indian Sandstone, York

stone, Marshalls products,

Bradstone products, or the

vast array of others on

display in your local garden

centre, knowing which type

works best can be

daunting!

Transform Landscapes has

been building gardens in

the local area for 25 years

and has gained extensive

practical experience in this area. We offer a

comprehensive consultation and design

service to overcome these hurdles and are

best placed to advise you on the right style

and colour to suit your

property and purpose. For

example, one of the aspects

to consider when having

paving laid is the style and

method of jointing to use in

your terrace. ‘Bird Beak’, or

‘Double Weathered’, are the

more traditional types and

used commonly with York

stone paving products or to

suit the style of a period

property, whereas the ‘Half

Moon’ style is used more

with other products like

Indian Sandstone. As the

ranges of paving increase and develop so

does our ability to supply and lay them to a

very high standard.

Charles Blumlein, Transform Landscapes

Paving Stones to consider

Indian Sandstone – This is by

far the most popular choice to

date because of its range of

colours and laying patterns.

Available in greys, greens,

yellows, oranges, through to

reds, the choice is vast. Indian

Sandstone also comes in many

sizes and laying patterns,

giving a wide range of design

ideas and considerations.

York Stone – Perfect for a

more period setting providing

a somewhat gentler look with

a hint of drama and elegance

to complement the landscape.

Marshalls – this company offer a wide

range of paving products from tradition

style paving for terraces to block paving for

driveways. We have been part

of the Marshalls register now

for three years and have used

their products extensively. In

2012 we won the category for

Best Engineering Achievement

2012 for a multi level terrace

cut into the hillside.

If you are considering hard

landscaping for your garden

this spring and would like to

know more about all the

different options available for

a paving project, please

The Benefits of Hypnotherapy

For those of us who blush, we know that

just by thinking about an embarrassing

situation our skin can colour up. In fact,

every thought we have results in a

corresponding experience of some sort in

our body. Often this is a feeling: feeling

good when we remember a good

experience and feeling bad when we

think of a bad one.

Sometimes our bodies ‘act out’ our

thoughts in ways we cannot admit to

ourselves. It might be the business

person dreading an upcoming speaking

engagement who finds that a sore throat

develops the day before, so the speech

has to be abandoned. It might be an IBS

sufferer whose symptoms get worse

when they are stressed - when they

“cannot stomach” something.

Jane came to me because she couldn’t

swallow. She had been told that things

had got so bad that the only solution was

to have her oesophagus surgically

removed. Clearly she wanted to avoid

that if possible. As we chatted about her

life it transpired that in both her home

life and at work she had for many years

been in a position where she was

constantly having to take extreme and

unfair criticism. Yet in neither situation

did she feel in a position to answer back.

She just had to “swallow” it. And now it

seemed that her body was saying to her

“we can’t swallow this anymore”.

This made sense to Jane and once she

realised that her life experience was

being reflected in her body, she began to

turn things around. Hypnotherapy

helped her tap into her inner resources

of self esteem allowing her to be more

assertive and feel more in control and

she began to develop better coping

mechanisms. She was then able to

retrain her body to swallow. Now three

years later, having been without

symptoms for quite some time, her

surgeon is very pleased with her progress

and has signed her off.

CHILD AND ADOLESCENT EATING DISORDERS – WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR.

Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia are written and spoken about more readily these days, nevertheless I still

believe that either label carries major worry for everyone and often makes it difficult to address openly.

Working in an NHS Specialist Child and Adolescent Mental Health Team in Guildford, I was a senior

member of the Specialist Eating Disorder Clinic run by Dr Irene Yi, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and

worked with young people and their families who battled to understand and overcome this complicated

set of diagnoses. Treatment for either Anorexia or Bulimia may seem like one step forward and two steps

back, it takes months, sometimes years to recover fully, - and families wonder if their lives will ever

become “normal” again.

I believe preventative work is always more useful than waiting until the illness becomes severe, -

requiring either specialist in-patient treatment or an NHS Outpatient Eating Disorder Team.

So what are the signs to look out for? It may seem obvious, but so many young people start out just

wanting to lose weight by adhering to a diet programme such that parents who see their daughters/sons

every day may easily miss the early signs of the illness beginning to take over their lives. There is no

question that most young people will never develop anorexia/bulimia, no matter how many diets they go

on or how much their weight may vary week by week. It is not in their psychological make-up. There can

generally be a genetic disposition towards triggering an eating disorder.

Bulimia is trickier to notice as the young person’s weight may not vary that much. Food disappearing

regularly and mysteriously from kitchen cupboards is a good signal which may indicate binge/vomiting

behaviour. It’s confusing isn’t it, as food disappearance is a regular occurrence when adolescent boys are

anywhere near, but I’m sure you get my point. If your son/daughter always leaves the table after eating

and disappears for periods of time to the bathroom then that’s another indicator. Food and the mention

of it becomes a touchy subject. You may notice dried vomit around the bathroom and bedroom area, or

the stale smell of it around your home.

Anorexic behaviour can be spotted by your son/daughter always telling you they are eating elsewhere at

different times in different houses, rather than sharing family meals. I realise that the way we lead our

lives can mask this as most families come and go, having different commitments at different times. If you

notice all fat and sugar being gradually removed from their diet, miniscule portions, obsession with food

labels (theirs not yours), wearing layers of baggy clothing, preoccupation with weight and weighing

themselves, becoming more and more sensitive whenever food is mentioned, or sudden onset of

incessant exercising then it may be worth checking with their friends whether lunch at school is being

eaten or avoided on a daily basis.

Secretive and preoccupied behaviour is a common feature of both diagnoses.

One Step does lots of preventative work with young people and their families and also works with young

people who have been discharged from specialist Eating Disorder Teams.

This article is necessarily brief. Specialist

advice should always be sought.

“Clients of Shaws Wills and Trusts”

If you already have a Will, how old is it?

Has the family changed?

If so, your Will may not do the job you

intended.

Perhaps you do not have a Will?

Without a Will:

• An unmarried partner has no inheritance

rights.

• A married spouse may not inherit enough to

live comfortably because children do have

inheritance rights.

• Orphaned children under 18 become the

responsibility of the Local Authority.

• Children inherit equally. This may or may

not be fair.

• Children inherit at 18. Not always the best

age.

• An heir who is in receipt of State benefits

my lose benefits which depend on capital

assessment when they inherit.

• You could be leaving problems and disputes

instead of happy memories.

Our Wills can avoid all these problems. That

is pretty good for a single document!

Making a Will with Shaws Wills involves:

• An informal discussion about your family

and your wishes.

• Advice as to the best way to safe-guard

your assets for your heirs in the most tax

efficient manner.

• Advice concerning Care in old age and how

assets can be preserved for the family.

• We believe in plain English.

The costs of all our services are fully disclosed

to the client in writing prior to the meeting

and each service provided is “fixed fee”.

With fifty years of experience in the serious

health spa business, 2013 has seen

Grayshott launch its most exciting and

profound regime to date: The Grayshott

Programme. Developed by Elaine Williams,

Director of Natural Therapies and widely

recognised as a leader in her field, and

Stephanie Moore, Grayshott’s Clinical

Nutritionist, The Grayshott Programme

works on naturopathic principles underlined

by the premise that optimum health must go

hand in hand with a healthy fully functioning

digestive system.

Elaine Williams explains “I have wanted to

develop such a programme for some time as

I feel there is an urgent need for this type of

restoration diet in the UK. At the moment,

many of my clients feel they need to go

abroad to undertake serious treatments that

target the digestive system. With the use of

a scientifically backed dietary protocol,

specific eating practices and specialist thera-

peutic treatments, we are tackling health

from the inside out”.

The Grayshott Programme is a strict and

precise programme and a seven day

minimum commitment is required. Initial

feedback has been wholly positive. Mother

of four, Ali Boylan who took part on the test

programme said “I feel the best I have felt in

ten years. My energy levels have soared but

most importantly, I am taking home a very

workable and sensible approach to eating

and cooking that I believe will improve not

just my health but that of the whole family”.

The seven day Grayshott Programme

includes:

• Personal health consultations

• One-to-one consultations with a medical

herbalist and a nutritional therapist

• An eating protocol that will heal and

regenerate your body, (including two semi

fast days)

• Abdominal massages, hydro baths and liver

compresses to support the detoxification

processes

• Monitoring and support, physically and

emotionally by specialists throughout the

programme

• Gentle exercise, Tai Chi, relaxation and

breathing classes

• An educational lecture programme to

explain the protocol and plan for on-going

maintenance

• Post departure support

Prices start from £1295 (per person, single

occupancy) during low season including the

following : Consultations, monitoring and

support, lectures, meals, herbal tinctures,

therapeutic treatments, gentle exercise

programme, accommodation. The

programme runs weekly Weds—Weds.

Research has revealed the real love/hate relationship that our nation has with cleaning. Over a

quarter (27%) of us admit to feeling under pressure to be seen as clean and tidy while 37% of us

say we can’t relax if our house is messy.

Cara Heather, MOLLY MAID Franchise owner (Ash Vale & Haslemere) says “People work longer

hours and have less time on their hands to do the daily chores yet other are no less forgiving

when it comes to judging the state of your home. Being seen as house-proud is a really important

quality to have and even if someone has a fantastic career, an amazing personality or a nice smile,

a dirty house is a massive no-no! Sometimes it’s good to get a helping hand from professional

cleaners so you can come home to a lovely clean and comfortable house.”

Here at MOLLY MAID (Ash Vale and Haslemere), Cara and her team are dedicated to helping you

clear out, clean up and start afresh this Spring. At Molly Maid we can take that stress and

pressure out of your life by fulfilling all of your cleaning requirements thus giving you the quality

time you deserve thereby allowing you to do all those other things you always intended to get

around to.

We are a reputable, local and international business who are highly professional, totally honest

and who offer the best value for money cleaning service whereby your privacy is assured. This is

further enhanced by our rigorous cleaner selection process.

So go ahead, contact Cara and her team on 0845 838 0492, the spring cleaning experts,

or alternatively, give someone you know a MOLLY MAID gift voucher and start their

spring off beautifully!
