However, many of the new roses on the market have been bred to toss their pretty heads and throw off blackspot and mildew with ease.&nbsp; The old Rugosa roses are also very disease resistant and mine thrive on neglect. The flowers are big, blowsy and scented and you usually get hips in the autumn.&nbsp;</p> <p>Another reason why roses are not chosen is a lack of knowledge of seemingly complicated pruning regimes.&nbsp; It’s true that you do not prune all roses in the same way, so you have to have an idea of the types that you have, but you only prune once a year, and it’s not much effort for all those delicious flowers.&nbsp; Besides, they won’t die if you get it a bit wrong.</p> <p>The Savill garden in Windsor Great Park has just opened their new rose garden, so it’s just the place to go for some inspiration and tea and cake (see front page story in this issue).</p> <p>Talking of which, you can make jam out of rose petals, which could be useful on a desert island.&nbsp; Just the thing for the afternoon scones.&nbsp; I hope Man Friday has got a teapot!<br /></p> <p><b><em>For an insight into the life of a garden designer, and seasonal gardening tips, follow Linda on Twitter at</em> <a href= "http://www.twitter.com/potandplot" target= "_blank"><em>www.twitter.com/potandplot</em></a></b></p> <p><i>The author Linda Regel runs a garden design, coaching and consultancy business, Green.

I was awoken by the sound of a ringing iPhone, which was bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. Putting on my most alert sounding ‘I’ve been up for hours’ voice, I sheepishly answered the call whilst hurrying my way to the bathroom for a shower. As the relief of discovering it was a colleague and not a prospective client that had woken me up began to wash over me, it felt fitting to start running the shower. But time was not on my side and I was still in a state of undress when I should have been well on my way out the door, so panicking like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs I jumped into the shower whilst simultaneously ending the call and placing my iPhone (somewhat precariously) on the windowsill. I was now on my way. After such an appalling start to the day, I was making up good time as I showered away the excesses of the night before.</em></p> <p>But things were about to get worse again. Whilst covered in lemon and lime flavoured shower gel I heard the sound of my ringing phone once again, vibrating its way around the windowsill. And off the windowsill, off the edge of the basin and into the toilet. Perfect…</p> <p>Conscious that time was of the essence and caring little for the essence of lime that was still in a rich lather all over my haggard body, I slipped and slid my way across the bathroom floor towards the toilet and with no time whatsoever to think about the unpleasantness of the situation in front of me, I plunged my hand into the toilet bowl to retrieve the well soaked iPhone.&nbsp; Searching franticly for a towel, some self-respect and some dignity, I desperately tried to dry the sodden iPhone forlornly hoping that serious and expensive damage had not occurred. But it had. As brilliant as they are, water resistance is sadly not one of the iPhone’s myriad of mind-boggling features.</p> <p>The upshot of this little episode was that I now needed a dry, working phone. Having succumbed to the awful TV adverts for those companies that buy old mobile phones, I’d previously packaged all mine up and sent them off to Africa in exchange for a cheque and a warm feeling inside. So I made my way down to my local mobile phone shop where, against all my gadget-loving tendencies, I demanded that they sell me the cheapest, nastiest phone in the shop. So they did. And it was 99p. No onerous contract to sign, no terms to agree to. I just paid the cash and walked out feeling rather like I’d robbed them, whilst at the same time feeling delighted with my first piece of good fortune of the day.</p> <p>I’d expected to be able to buy a cheap phone to get me out of my predicament. But I wasn’t expecting was being able to pick up a mobile phone for less than the cost of a bottle of mineral water. Or a litre of petrol. Or a cheese sandwich. Or a Sunday paper.</p> <p>This little experience made me think about how inexpensive and accessible technology has become in the last few years. Today, you can get a mobile phone for 99p, a PC for £99, a digital radio for £40, a 42” Plasma TV for £400 and broadband for £5 a month, with a free router!</p> <p>When Steve Jobs recently held aloft his ‘magical and revolutionary’ iPad on stage in California, I’d kind of expected him to say that this prop from a Star Trek film was going to cost £1,000 or more. But it wasn’t even £500. No… it was £429.</p> <p>I have an iPad *gasp* and whilst I’m still not totally sure what I’m going to use it for on a regular basis other than idly browsing the web whilst watching TV, I can’t deny that it’s a beautiful piece of technology at an astounding price. The device has potential for all manner of wonderful things and I expect that Steve Jobs may well be right (he’s had a tendency to be right over the past few years) with his grand predictions for the future of the iPad. I have a desktop PC and a laptop PC and for me whilst the iPad will never replace these devices there is another, very large group of people whom I believe will buy it in their millions. People like my girlfriend. My girlfriend is someone who is completely apathetic about technology, someone who, much to my bewilderment manages to run a sizeable business with all the technology that a 10-year-old Nokia phone has to offer, and nothing more. But even she said the other day ‘I think I’m going to get one of these’ whilst idly messing around with my iPad. It does everything she wants – web, email, Facebook and perhaps the odd game of electronic Scrabble. Steve Jobs made MP3 players accessible to the masses with the iPod, I think he may well have made the web enabled computer accessible to the masses with the iPad.</p> <p>The iPad will evolve and no doubt there will be an even slimmer, shiner version that I will thoughtlessly, almost robotically buy around this time next year, but its range of potential applications is quite bewildering. One application I’ve found particularly exciting for my business is its use as a method for controlling electronic systems within the home (lighting, heating, music, TV, security, CCTV, etc). I’ve been using it for in my showroom with great success recently, it just works really well, if not better than the proprietary touch panel devices which we were selling that were in the order of 10 times the price of the iPad only a couple of months ago.</p> <p>Right across the electronics spectrum, the amazing value that new technology is bringing us is palpable. Certainly in my business things have moved on in a massive way over the last couple of years. A few years ago Home Cinema systems were generally ugly, complex to use and quite often hideously expensive. Today you can buy a Home Cinema system that is beautiful to look at, simple to use and great value, with astounding picture and sound quality that rivals that of a real cinema, if not betters it. You can buy, today, Internet connected music systems that let you listen to whatever music takes your fancy, anywhere in the home at the touch of a button. Security cameras that can be viewed on an iPhone anywhere in the world. High Definition TVs as thin as a slice of toast that are astoundingly cheap to buy. Baths that can be run by sending a text message are available off the shelf. I almost feel like I’ve been caught in a cartoon time warp and that I actually am George Jetson from The Jetsons. All I need now is George’s 9 hour a week ‘full time’ job…</p> <p><em>The author James Ratcliffe is a friend of LIVING WITHIN and Director of Homeplay Ltd, 87a High Street, Esher, Surrey, KT10 9QA.

It showcases new plants, products and garden design talent and sets the fashion for the garden for the year ahead. So what was hot at Chelsea this year and how can you bring the catwalk to your own courtyard?</em></p> <p>For the last few years, the Chelsea colour palette has been somewhat predictable. Purple was the colour to have in the garden, usually in the form of the big globe heads of alliums. Last year, green and white was a popular choice, used to create calm, restful gardens, in which to escape the world. This year, however, things have warmed up. Maybe in anticipation of the Barbeque Summer which is forecast (and I am still waiting - burger in hand!), colours were hot, hot, hot! Dramatic reds, warm oranges and clear yellows appeared in many of the gardens, including the Best in Show, The Daily Telegraph Garden. There were tall, lemony verbascums which flower for a long time and add great structure and height to a planting scheme. There were a lot of geums, a popular cottage garden favourite, now bred to include plants in orange tones, as well as the more usual red and yellow. Also lots of poppies, which are gorgeous when they are in flower, but, it must be said, are somewhat short lived, and look a mess after the flowers have finished. Plant them in the middle of other plants, which will disguise the dying debris. The same must be said of irises, which were also everywhere in lots of coppery tones. Beautiful when in flower; plain, often tatty leaves the rest of the year.</p> <p>Artificial grass made its first appearance at Chelsea this year, albeit covering a ceiling and walls, rather than the ground. Despite its reputation as something of a joke item amongst real gardeners, it is gaining in popularity. It is easy to lay on a sand base, and, of course, doesn’t need watering, mowing or feeding. Top of the range products are remarkably realistic; if you want to see a ‘lawn’ that has been in place for a while, visit the RHS garden at Wisley. One of the small display gardens has an artificial lawn, which looks real from a distance and not bad close up, bearing in mind it has been trampled by more feet than you are ever going to get in your own garden.</p> <p>Alpines were on show in many of the gardens, bringing this somewhat specialist choice of plant more into the mainstream. Sempervivums were planted in bricks, colanders and paving, as specimens or mixed into a colourful mat. These small, almost cactus like plants are easy to look after, needing little watering or maintenance. I’m going to try putting my collection into a hanging basket this year and see how they do. It will make a change from lobelia!</p> <p>Whether you choose a whole new 2010 Chelsea style for your garden, or just one of the many new plants introduced this year, you too can be an on trend Follower of Fashion!</p> <p><b><em>For an insight into the life of a garden designer, and seasonal gardening tips, follow Linda on Twitter at</em> <a href= "http://www.twitter.com/potandplot" target= "_blank"><em>www.twitter.com/potandplot</em></a></b></p> <p><i>The author Linda Regel runs a garden design, coaching and consultancy business, Green.

In 2010 the world of music is almost entirely digitised, the iPod is almost as commonplace as the television and the idea of making a mix tape is now so outmoded that only people over the age of 30 would even know what a mix tape was.</em></p> <p>The digital music revolution has changed almost every aspect of music distribution and has led to a massive shift in people’s expectations of the availability and price of music. Being exactly 30 as I am, I can just about remember making mix tapes on a weekly basis, religiously recording the Top 40 every Sunday afternoon so that I could spend the rest of the evening crafting my ninety minute vision of chart music gold. I’d listen continuously to my labour of love on my auto-reversing Walkman for the rest of the week whilst walking to school, delivering papers or riding my mountain bike to my Saturday job in the local hi-fi shop. Every now and again my Top 40 Mix Tape would throw up a single that was so earth shatteringly good (like <i>I Want To Sex You Up</i> by Color Me Badd, or <i>Hangin’ Tough</i> by New Kids On The Block, for example) that I would be compelled to go and part with a week’s wages to buy the album. Going into Our Price having saved up all week to buy whatever CD was in vogue at the time and then racing home on my mountain bike to play my amazing new purchase on my Amstrad midi system was by far the most hotly anticipated and enjoyable part of my week.</p> <p>But that was quite a while ago and although I look back at those days with a great deal of warm fuzziness, I can’t help but prefer the way I access and listen to music today. If I hear a new song I like today, I just play it through my Sonos digital music system. It’s now the music that is the experience, not the anticipation of getting it. I just type what I want to hear into my iPhone and it plays, right away, wirelessly, in every room of my house and even in my garden.<img title= "" border="0" hspace="0" alt= "" align="right" src="http://www.livingwithin.com/media/images/gadgets.png" /></p> <p>To reminisce once again back to my younger years, I remember how on a Sunday afternoon my Dad would enjoy doing a spot of gardening while listening to the driving beats and soulful ballads of Phil Collins’ <i>No Jacket Required</i>. The only problem was that because we only had one hi-fi in the lounge, Dad would turn Phil up loud enough to hear him in the garden and the neighbours would end up listening to Phil too. ‘Surely that’s not a bad thing’ I can almost hear you say, but believe it or not, not everyone likes Phil Collins. If only we’d had a Sonos Wireless Whole House Digital Music System back when I was growing up, perhaps our neighbours wouldn’t have moved away and my parents would still be together?</p> <p>Whatever might have been, I can’t explain how damn good this system is without using a lot more swear words. I’ll just say that if you like music then you’ll love the Sonos music system, if that doesn’t sound too much of a cliché for you. In a nutshell you can listen to all of the music you have on your iPod anywhere in the house. But there’s more, oh, so much more. You can listen to thousands of internet radio stations of every conceivable genre and from all around the world. You can have your own personalised radio station that plays music all day long that you, and just you, really like by using the amazing last.fm service through the Sonos system. It’s like having your own personal DJ. And, perhaps best of all, you can listen to virtually any song in the whole wide world, on demand and for only £5 per month using the Napster music service through the Sonos system. Access to over 9,000,000 songs for just £5 a month?! Yes folks, it’s true...</p> <p>You can even play different music in different rooms, group rooms together to play the same thing or just play the same thing in every single room of the house if you so choose. It’s totally flexible, really reliable and blindingly simple to use.</p> <p>And best of all, you can have it installed without having to rip your house apart as it’s totally wireless. Yes, ‘piped music’ used to be the preserve of the rich and famous but now it’s as affordable as double glazing. But a whole lot more fun…</p> <p><i>The author James Ratcliffe is a friend of LIVING WITHIN and Director of Homeplay Ltd, 87a High Street, Esher, Surrey, KT10 9QA.

It costs&nbsp;£55 to fill a pothole.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>That's the figure revealed by&nbsp;Surrey County Council who have been busy trying to fill the holes while dealing with the even more alarming news that 536 drain covers have been stolen from our roads this year. Although the problem is widespread across the LIVING WITHIN region, Elmbridge is one of three Surrey boroughs to have been particularly badly hit.</p> <p>It costs between £200 and £400 to replace a cover, depending on the location and the type of cover used. The council estimates it has spent just over £160,000 on replacements since January – enough to fill 2,909 potholes.</p> <p>The police said the covers&nbsp;are being sold for scrap, which has a high value at the moment.

The way that we communicate has changed at breakneck speed over the last few years as a result of new technology, but is this communication revolution actually making our lives better?</strong></em></p> <p>These days most people use email, texts and the internet on a daily basis when only a few years ago we were all perfectly happy with the humble telephone. The vast majority of people I know would argue that on the whole, technology has made their lives more efficient. Can anyone remember the last time they wrote an actual letter, on real writing paper?! It’s not often these days that we’re asked to write much more than a signature in day to day life, so when I was asked to fill in a rather long form at the doctors’ surgery recently it made me realise how my dexterity on a keyboard had come at the expense of my once-legible handwriting. But it’s not just handwriting that’s suffering in our new ‘always online’ world...</p> <p>In a very short space of time people have got very comfortable in sharing their photo’s, thoughts, plans and experiences online with their closest (and also quite often their most distant) friends. Much has been written about Facebook’s privacy issues over the last year or so and the company has recently bowed to pressure to review its default privacy settings to make it more obvious to new members exactly what they are agreeing to share with the online community; seemingly people either didn’t care about the fact that intimate personal details about their lives were available to all and sundry, or they just didn’t know what was being shared online. Either way, it shows a naivety about the internet and the privacy issues it brings with it which is worryingly commonplace.&nbsp;</p> <p>What makes this even more concerning is that technology has brought a new social networking&nbsp; phenomenon that is currently building momentum and it takes this lack of privacy to new and even more worrying levels. ‘Geosocial’ devices, which are essentially internet enabled smartphones with GPS built-in have been around for a while now, but the software to make use of the technology is now starting to appear and so are the users. ‘Foursquare’ is an application designed to be used predominately on smartphones such as the iPhone and Google’s Android platform that brings together the existing dominant social networks of Facebook and Twitter and adds the extra dimension of location to them.&nbsp; So, a Foursquare user that might Tweet that they are out having a meal with a friend would also have the location of the restaurant revealed online. There are certainly positive aspects to this kind of location tagging such as being able to read about other people’s experiences and thoughts about a particular place – ‘if you’re eating here then check out their fabulous BLT sandwich’ – for example... Broadcasting information about what you are doing is one thing, but pinpointing your exact location at the same time to anyone who might like to know strikes me as downright scary - whether you’re a stalker, a burglar or the local oddball, Geosocial devices and software are a dream come true!</p> <p>In June, Webroot, a Denver-based internet security firm, surveyed 1,645 users of “geo-location-ready mobile devices”, including 624 in the UK: 29% said they shared their location with people other than their friends; 31% said they accepted a friend request from a stranger; and, yet, 55% still said they were worried about their loss of privacy.</p> <p>It will certainly be interesting to see how this technology and the companies that are developing it are policed over the coming months and years, as our appetite for social media grows and we become less and less concerned about the personal information we expose to others online.</p> <p><em>The author James Ratcliffe is a friend of LIVING WITHIN and Director of Homeplay Ltd, 87a High Street, Esher, Surrey, KT10 9QA.

That was the message from Craig Dunkerley, Deputy Chief Explorer of Chessington World of Adventures Resort. And he should know.</p> <p>Against a backdrop of a new African-themed reserve, the Chessington World of Adventures Resort this week played host to the Destiny Africa Children’s Choir who visited from Kampala Children’s Centre in Uganda (<a href= "http://www.kampalachildren.com/">www.kampalachildren.com</a>). The children from the choir were asked to name a newly born&nbsp;Scimitar Horned Oryx.</p> <p>But when the choir arrived at Chessington, expectant mum Zola&nbsp;hadn't delivered.</p> <p>So the nice people at the theme park presented the choir with a carboard cutout of what the new baby might look like when it finally enters the world.</p> <p>The choir had planned to name the calf Mukisa meaning blessing in Lugandan.</p> <p>Craig Dunkerley, Deputy Chief Explorer of Chessington World of Adventures Resort said: "As we all know working with animals almost never goes to plan so when the Oryx calf didn’t arrive at the weekend we had an inkling that this could be a little embarrassing. But the choir seemed to find it more amusing than disappointing, especially when we presented them with the life-sized cardboard cut out!"</p> <p>The African inspired area is called the&nbsp;Wanyama Village and&nbsp;Reserve and is the latest development at the park. It features&nbsp;Grevy’s Zebras, the very rare Scimitar Horned Oryx and other African species and it's part of Chessington Zoo’s vital breeding programme for endangered species.&nbsp;</p> </div><br

That’s the equivalent of travelling almost 63 million miles in an average car.</p> <p>Measures that will be taken to cut the carbon footprint include improving the energy efficiency of council buildings. Old boilers will be replaced with more efficient heating systems and properties will be better insulated.

However, findings from a recent waste prevention survey, carried out in the county, showed that just over half of all residents who have a garden don't compost at home, potentially unaware of the benefits home composting can bring to both their purse and the environment.</p> <p>To coincide with Compost Awareness Week (2 to 8 May 2010), the Surrey Waste Partnership, made up of Surrey County Council and the 11 district and borough councils, is running a countywide scheme, offering home composting bins at reduced prices – from £14.00 (RRP £39.00), to encourage residents to start composting.</p> <p><a href="http://www.livingwithin.com/gardens.html" target="">For further information on composting read Linda Regel's current post for LIVING WITHIN.</a>&nbsp;</p> </div> <p><a href="http://www.livingwithin.com/index.html#a1074">Read the full article</a></p>http://www.livingwithin.com/index.html#a1074http://www.livingwithin.com/index.html#a1074Tue, 04 May 2010 11:55:01 +01002010-05-04T10:55:01<a name="a1072"></a> <div class="articlearea"> <h1>Esher Church School 2010 10k / Fun Run</h1><p>Runners from around the country joined locals for this year's 10K race and Fun Run, organised by Esher Church School.
