THE UNVEILING by the Hon Nicholas Soames
MP of a painting by Martin King titled ‘Arise
with the day’.
At the Farmers Inn Scaynes Hill proved to be
a fitting conclusion to Parkinsons Awareness
Week where the society has sought to create a
bridge of awareness into care institutions and
the wider community.
Martin King Mid Sussex branch chairman
said ‘when people with parkinson’s don’t get
their medication on time for most, the effect
can be painfully debilitating.’
There is currently no known cure, however
over the past ten years there has been a
considerable improvement in drug development
which has significantly improved and extended
the quality of life to near normal levels for tens
of thousands’.
‘Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative
neurological condition diagnosed in more than
120000 people in the UK, 1 in 20 being under
40 years old.
The chairman drew the MP’s attention to the
plight of not only carers in general, but the
young carers of parents who are chronically sick
and within whose homes the condition of the
adult, maybe overwhelming and all pervasive.
There are many thousands and they must not
be left to feel isolated and unsupported.

‘Warm up’ in the summer

NOW THAT summer has finally arrived, you
may be outside enjoying gardening or sport.
However you spend your leisure time, do ‘Give
your body a Sporting chance’. Make sure you
‘Warm up to exercise’, whatever your exercise
may be; or you may find that an injury
interrupts your plans. Warming up and
following stretching exercises can really help to
reduce injury, by increasing blood flow to
muscles and other soft tissues. Stretching can
help prepare the muscles in your arms, legs
and back.

If you do become injured apply the principles of PRICE as soon as you can...
Protection – support the injured part to protect it from further damage.
Rest – if the injury is not rested further damage can occur.
Ice – apply ice pack/bag of frozen peas, this helps to reduce inflammation.
Compression – will help to reduce swelling, but don’t apply too tightly.
Elevation – elevate the injured part whenever possible.

Seek the advice of a Chartered Physiotherapist. For further advice, call the Physio Therapy Centre
01444 450162. Or visit our website www.therapy-centre.net. For leaflet information quoted above

The Parish Council reports...
HIGH STREET PARKING – The grave concerns
of High Street traders and residents regarding
the enforcement of the existing 30 minute limit
on parking, was raised at the Parish Council
meeting on May 9.
Margaret Johnson, Lindfield’s County
Councillor, said that the matter of on-street
waiting limits was one for West Sussex County
Council to determine, and it is acknowledged that
the new and generally welcomed system of Local
Authority Parking Enforcement had exposed a
number of anomalies which need to be dealt
with as soon as possible. However, she pointed
out that some of the restrictions had been in force
for many years and making changes was a
complex and lengthy legal process. Any review
would need to be over a wider area and could not
be undertaken for just one street.The urgency of
Mozart Ensemble
Concert 16th June
THE YEAR 4 children of Lindfield Primary School
are taking part in a series of percussion workshops
with members of the English Mozart Ensemble.
The children, together with others schools, are
creating a piece of music called ‘Into the Void!’
The work will culminate in a concert
involving all three schools, at the Dolphin
Leisure Centre on the morning of 16th June, to
which visitors are welcome.
This offers children a fantastic opportunity to
work with professional musicians, and their
musical skills are developing enormously.
The school would like to thank the Leisure
Centre for offering us their venue fee of charge.
If anyone is interested in sponsoring this
project, please contact either Bob White (Head)
or Tracy Smith (Music Co-ordinator) at
Lindfield Primary School.
June 2006
the matter was recognised and the County
Council will shortly be sending consultation
letters to Lindfield residents, seeking their views,
so that a co-ordinate approach can be taken.
Lindfield Pond – it was reported that work will
be undertaken shortly by WSCC on the retaining
wall of the pond. Renovation work and re-
painting of bollards would follow.
Spring Clean – We are grateful to all those who
assisted us in the recent Village Spring Clean.
However we were disappointed to see that some
village twittens are still being used by local
residents not only for grass cuttings( why not
acquire one of the new MSDC wheelie bins?)
but for other rubbish. Once tipping occurs it
encourages others to do the same. The worst
place for the second or third year running is the
footpath behind Pickers Green.
The stone trough near the Backwoods Lane
car park should be a blaze of colour now.
Unfortunately the wallflowers planted there
have been removed, hopefully not by a

The village summer tradition

LINDFIELD’S VILLAGE DAY is
organised by the King Edward
Hall who benefit from any
surplus monies which go
towards maintenance and
improvements to the village
hall- which is actually owned
by the village. The first village
day was in 1978.
The celebrations commence
with a procession from
Hickmans Lane Playing Fields
through the village arriving at the common around
2pm.There are cash prizes for floats, walking groups
and individual fancy dress which are judged on the
common.There is no entry requirement just turn up
on the day at 1.15pm. Please join the procession and
help make it a huge success.
From 2.30pm until 4.30pm there will be
events on the common - such as a band display,
Karate, twirlers and junior football displays.
There is also the traditional Firing of the Anvil
and old Sussex tradition to ward off evil spirits.
The Anvil is turned upside down and the hole
(used to keep the Anvil in position) is packed
with gunpowder and lit by a fuse. The result is a
‘Large Bang’-hence firing the Anvil.
There is also a Pet Show for children with
their pets- so why not bring your pet along and
enter there are prizes for various categories.
In total around the two central arenas there
will be approximately ninety stalls and
attractions. Normally the Charities and Societies
raise in excess of £10,000 for their causes.
Programmes are on sale at the Post Office,
Selby’s and Martin’s Newsagent.
Entry to the common is FREE so please be
generous to ALL the stalls as well as having a Classes in
good time. Lets hope the weather is kind to us LINDFIELD, HAYWARDS HEATH & SURROUNDING AREAS

Dear Nigel
I am 35 years old and usually a happy go lucky
sort of person. Over the last few months I have
started to experience bouts of anxiety for no
apparent reason. Sometimes I feel so panicky
that my heart starts to race and my mouth gets
very dry. This is very frightening. My Dr doesn't
want me to take drugs and has suggested I learn
autogenic exercises. What do you think?
Siona
Dear Siona
I think your Dr is to be commended for his/her
reluctance to prescribe drugs for you. Autogenics
is essentially a system of auto suggestions that
induces relaxation as you use them.These
suggestions can be learnt during quite moments
and then used during a bout of anxiety. As anxiety
and relaxation can not exist at the same time one
state gives way to the other. Anxiety can easily
develop into a panic attack and is often the result
of unhelpful thinking patterns that triggers
negative imagery. In other words when we think
negatively and imagine worse case scenarios we
can trick the unconscious mind into believing this
is the present situation and so it automatically
triggers your fight or flight mechanisms.
Cortisol, adrenaline and other stress related
hormones are pumped into the blood stream,
saliva decreases, the heart beats faster and blood
is diverted to the muscles. If you were being
chased by a tiger this would help you run and
get away. However as this is unlikely to be the
case in rural Lindfield your stress hormones, not
being used up, remain in circulation and tend to
increase the feeling of anxiety. This can start the
process up all over again and a negative cycle is
Page 14
set up. This can soon become a habit that is
triggered by the slightest provocation.
The trick is to break the cycle by interrupting
the process by refocusing your attention
immediately you become of aware of the first
signs of anxiety. Avoid focussing on the anxiety
as this tends to increase it. Taking slow and deep
breaths for 10 seconds and say RELAX to
yourself as you breathe out. At the same time
aim to let go of any tension you may feel in
your body. Focus on relaxing. However if you do
get into a panic take some Aconite 200 or a drop
of the Bach flower rescue remedy every 15
minutes until it subsides. This will help to
release you from the fear and bring you back to
a peaceful calm state. The pleasantest thing in the
world is pleasant thoughts and the great art is to
have as many of them as possible.

In Mid Sussex, residents have already given
their vote of approval to composting rather than
rubbishing. Since the Council introduced its
great value kerbside garden waste collections
early this year, more than 1,000 householders
have signed up to the service, with more
joining every day. It is proving to be a real
bonus for residents who have neither the time
nor space for home composting but are keen to
do their bit for the environment without having
to make trips to the local tip.
MSDC’s new garden waste service costs £35
a year (less than 70 pence a week) and
provides a 240-litre wheeled bin that is
collected fortnightly from the edge of the
subscriber’s property. In some areas,
neighbours are sharing a bin and reducing the
cost even further. The bins can take grass
cuttings, hedge trimmings, leaves, weeds, plant
prunings, twigs and small branches and old or
used compost. The contents of the bins are
processed at a local composting facility.

Will you trust Gordon Brown
with your children’s inheritance?
How the Budget might affect you...
IF YOU ARE ONE of the millions of people in
this country who have made arrangements
designed to protect your family from the
impact of Inheritance Tax on your estate then
read on; the proposed major changes
announced by the Government, rather out
of the blue, in the recent Budget
may well affect you.
These new tax changes can
relate both to people who have
already set up trusts for the
benefit of their children or
grandchildren, and also to
anyone who has made a Will
providing for his or her family.
They can affect anyone who dies after
22 March 2006 and whose estate is
worth more than £285,000.
Stephen Gallico, the senior partner
of Stephen Gallico Solicitors,
comments, “These tax changes are
aimed not at the very rich but at average middle
class families who have worked hard to buy
their houses and save for the future. They are
aimed at anyone who wants to provide for the
future of their children”.
“In particular”, he continues, “the Budget
proposals attack two arrangements which many
people have used and which have been accepted
by the Inland Revenue for many years
previously. Firstly, the proposals attack what is
known as the “Accumulation and Maintenance
Trust” (“AMT”). Although this sounds
complicated, anyone who says in his Will that
his children should not inherit his estate until
they reach an age such as 21 or 25 years will be
Page 18
creating an AMT. The AMT is a sensible
precaution so that children do not inherit until
they are mature enough to handle large
amounts of money. The new proposals
will impose an extra charge to tax while
money stays in trust, and yet another
charge to tax when money comes out of
trust.
The other type of trust under attack is
the “Life Interest Trust”. For all sorts of
reasons people may want to put their
estates in Trust, for example, for the
lifetime of a second husband or wife,
so they can be sure their estate will
eventually go back to their own
children. Alternatively, they may
need a trust to protect someone
who is not good at managing
money and who could be
vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. It
seems that these trusts also may liable to second
or even third charges to tax.
Another area under attack is life assurance.
Many people take out policies designed to help
their children with the cost of IHT. It appears
that any new policy taken out after 22 March
2006 may also be liable to tax, although there
may possibly be ways of avoiding this.
The new proposals do provide one form of
let out, although many people will be extremely
reluctant to take it. It seems possible to avoid
the tax if you provide in your Will and in any
trust document that your children receive their

ONE OF THE MAIN issues concentrating minds in
Lindfield will be Mid Sussex District Council’s
consultation on the small scale housing sites. Last
year I made a site visit to Lyoth Lane and Newton
Road. I urge everyone who has views on this
matter to respond by the end of the consultation
period on the 3rd July, since clearly there are
profound implications for sustainable development
and the environment. It is important to point out
that residents who have already submitted
representations to the Council must resubmit them
as the Planning Inspector will only consider
representations made within the consultation period.
In my previous columns I have referred to
the draft South East Plan. Mid Sussex and the
wider region must brace itself for further
housing targets handed down by Central
Government via an unelected regional assembly.
My West Sussex Parliamentary Colleagues and I
together with Local Council Leaders have secured
a meeting with the Minister for Housing,Yvette
Cooper MP, to ensure that she is under no illusion
over the strength of feeling about the implications
of the Government’s housing targets. Without a
firm commitment on infrastructure investment
the Government undermines its whole policy on
‘sustainable development’. Responses to the Plan
consultation must be submitted by the 23rd June
2006 – see http://www.southeast-
ra.gov.uk/southeastplan/index.html
Given the financial pressures facing the NHS it is
a pleasure to report some good news on our local
NHS. I had an exciting and interesting visit to the
Princess Royal Hospital at the end of April to
launch the new pioneering nurse led service for
new born babies and their mothers.
This is a piece of really good news for our hard
Page 20
pressed and much admired local hospital whose
doctors, nurses and managers are struggling heroically
to deliver too many Government driven changes.
I am really pleased that the Advanced Neonatal
Nurse Practitioners have come to Mid Sussex and I
am confident that they will provide a superb
quality service. Actually I am proud at what the
Trust has achieved in securing them since they are
much wanted in other places.
On the 25th May at the Martlets Hall in Burgess
Hill, at 7pm, I will be chairing a public meeting to
discuss our local health services.The proposals in
Best Care, Best Place are now in operation and it
will be a good moment to review where we are
and for people to discuss with NHS managers,
consultants and GPs as to how the services should
develop for the future given our growing population
and the increasing pressures on this service.
This week I spoke in the House of Commons in a
health debate and I made the point to Patricia Hewitt,
Secretary of State for Health, that the Government
has to understand the financial difficulties of our
Trust and to give them the time to adjust to the
Government reforms without being made to
damage services because of Government diktat.
Finally, on a more positive note I am greatly
looking forward to one of the highlights of my
constituency year, the South of England
Agricultural Show. Every year the Show goes
from strength to strength. We are privileged in
Mid Sussex to host the most successful
Agricultural Show in the South of England. I am
honoured to play an active part as President of
the Hound Show and above all for me, the three
day Show embodies everything that we should
value and preserve about the rural way of life.

Summer
Christmas
PRE-INDUSTRIAL generations were aware of the
changing seasons in a way which is hard for us
now to understand. Life for most people was an
outdoor struggle for survival, the long year
moving between the celestial fixities of the
summer and winter solstices – midsummer and
midwinter.
The summer solstice is on June 21st, when
the sun climbs to its highest and the day is
longest. Modern-day druids celebrate the
mystical moment when the midsummer sun
rises over the Heel Stone at Stonehenge.
Nobody knows what this moment meant to
the people who built Stonehenge. There may be
a clue in the Bronze Age barrows on the South
Downs, which in places align with the setting
midsummer sun. Experts guess that they were
not just cemeteries of the illustrious dead, but
open air temples where the setting of the
midsummer sun in line with the burial grounds
would be ceremonially witnessed as a
demonstration of the ‘truth’ of some myth
explaining the ruling elite’s right to rule.
Cosmological order reinforcing social order.
Centuries ago the summer solstice fell on the
24th but over time it has slipped to the 21st of
June because of the slight mismatch between
the calendar we use and ‘true’ time as reckoned
by the sun’s passage. However throughout
Europe midsummer has continued to be
celebrated on the 24th.
Celebration of the solstice on the 24th of
June was absorbed into the Church calendar by
being made the feast day of St John the Baptist.
June 2006
Originally his feast day had been in early
January, but it was moved to midsummer and
some of the trappings of Christmas came with
it. This is why in medieval times St John’s day
was sometimes called the “summer Christmas”.
A remnant of this is in A Midsummer Night’s
Dream, where Bottom wears an ass’s head -
midsummer celebrations often included
someone dressed as an ass, that major feature of
Christmas pageants.
However St John’s day celebrations have always
had a pagan flavour, as seen in the many
superstitious beliefs surrounding it. This gives us
another Christmas connection. Traditionally
mistletoe was collected not only in midwinter
but also on St John’s day, perhaps from a far-off
time when the sun’s fire was believed to be an
emanation of the mistletoe, says Sir James George
Frazer in his famous study The Golden Bough.

Lindfield revisited
THE NORTH-SOUTH ROUTE through Lindfield became part of a turnpike road in the 1770’s
operated by the Newchapel and Brightelstone Turnpike Trust. Travel through the village required
payment of a toll.
There were two turnpike
gates with gatekeepers
dwellings, one in the High
Street, at the aptly named Toll
House and the other where
Heart & Soul is today with a gate
across Hickmans Lane. So it was
not possible to avoid paying the
6d toll that was charged for the
passage of a cart or carriage and
even farm animals, except on
Sundays when it was free for
churchgoers.
Across the country the
majority of turnpike gates had
been removed by the end of the third quarter of the
nineteenth century. Attempts to have the Lindfield gates
removed were unsuccessful and the continuing payment
of tolls was increasingly resented. Eventually the charging
of tolls ceased at mid-day on Friday 31st October 1884. A crowd
gathered and to much rejoicing the gates were lifted off their hinges. The first person to be
given free passage down the High Street was George
Mason of Wickham House, the village horse cab
proprietor, as he had suffered from the gates more The Wilderness history?

COMMITTEE to
oversee the
implementation of
this Village Plan. The Development Committee
should be a permanent Sub Committee of the
two Councils. It should prioritise the Action
Points in the plan and seek the co-operation of
the District, County and Regional Government
Authorities and any other appropriate
organisations to implement them. It should
report twice a year to the two Parish Councils
on what has been achieved. Members of the
Development Committee should be appointed
annually and should include representative

Annual Trip to Sayers Croft great success!!!
EVERY YEAR,Year 5 visit Sayers Croft Field
Centre in Ewhurst, near Cranleigh in Surrey
during the summer term. This residential trip
not only focuses on the ecology and geography
of our countryside but also gives the children
an opportunity to try a range of other activities
such as archery, orienteering, shelter building,
rafting as well as various arts and crafts.
The trip was a huge success and a great
experience for children both academically as
well as in terms of developing their own
personal and social skills. For many children it
was their first time away from their family
environment and yet they were wonderfully
looked after by four staff members of the
Blackthorns team.
Here’s what one of our pupils had to say….
Dear Diary
Today we went on a long and tiring, 2 mile
hike from the Sayers Croft Field Centre to Pitch
Hill (255m above sea level).
Before we left we packed a raincoat and
water bottle, then we left. We left at 1.30 in the
afternoon and arrived at 5.30 (45 minutes
before dinner).
First we took a public footpath to leave Sayers
Croft, over a stile and into a field. We went
through lots of field and stiles during our hike.
About 15 minutes into the hike we came across
Page 26
Ewhurst Village. We thought it was best to go 5
minutes through the village, and then go the
long way up a public footpath, through a field
with wild horses and into a wood.
Finally we had done a mile and a half – one
more mile to go. At the half way point we
stopped for a drink and a rest.
About one and a half hours later we arrived
at our destination – Pitch hill. We stayed on
Pitch Hill for about half an hour – 45 minutes –
took pictures, had a drink and even a twix
(chocolate bar).
But we still hadn’t finished our hike. From
the top of Pitch Hill we still had a 15 minute
walk to a quarry.
A quarry is a big hole like ditch in the
ground that people have dug up to find special
rocks or minerals.
We had our photo taken and then we
searched for animal evidence – it was really fun.
We were in the quarry for about 25 minutes.
When we were about to leave, we were told we
could go back in a 14 seater mini-bus – and
guess what – my group went back…first!!!
Next year the
children will also be
treated to a residential
trip to the Isle of Wight.

Wow,
oh wow!
JUNE IS THE MONTH when most of us plan for
the WOW effect in our gardens. Temperatures
are not too hot to cause wilting (in plants or
the gardener!), spring moisture is still available
in the soil and flowering now are plants that
make the knees tremble. Colour alone is not
enough – for a plant to really pack a punch, it
needs to have good structure too. Alliums tick
all the boxes.
Part of the onion family, alliums are a very
exciting group of bulbous plants. Long stems
hold aloft large flower heads with a brilliant
range of colours and shapes. Planted singly,
massed in groups or ribbons, they make a
sensational display. Even after flowering, their

have a dramatic
presence which last well into winter.
Combine alliums with other strong coloured
or structural plants for the full WOW. The
intense orange of calendula contrasts beautifully
with purple alliums. Plants with tall flowering
spikes like lupins and foxtail lilies go well with
the classic lollipop shapes of the allium. Carex
comans, a bronze coloured grass, brings a
softness to any planting - see if you can resist
combing it with your fingers.
Tall, back of border WOW plants make a
perfect foil for the punchy planting of alliums
in front of them. There are many large
perennials to choose from but you cannot go
wrong with architectural angelica, filigree
fennels or amazing artichokes.
Interesting perennial plants and bulbs can
transform a garden from dull to fantastic eye-
candy. Their reliable and colourful performance,
year on year, abolishes the need to rely on high
maintenance annuals to supply excitement in
the garden. Hooray.
Haughty Culture Garden Design will have a
stand on the Common on Village Day and we
look forward to meeting you there.

What’s cooking in June?

Lindfield Times goes into the kitchen with Caroline Young

JUNE 21ST is officially the first day of summer and was, from the 14th century, celebrated with
bonfires, marches, music, Morris dancers and processions. In the cathedral city of Norwich the
Mayor and other dignitaries rode through the city in a splendid procession with dragons and giants,
each year being more spectacular as each succeeding mayor attempted to outdo his predecessors. Of
course the dour Puritans called a halt to most of these frivolities.
We may not be lighting bonfires to welcome summer but we do have the start of the home-
grown strawberry and raspberry season to enjoy. Strawberries as we know them today are the result
of ‘marrying’ a well-flavoured but tiny Virginian wild strawberry brought back from America by
John Tradescant the Elder with a larger yellowish berry, tasting of pineapple, from the west coast of
South America. Prior to this only very tiny woodland fruit were known here. The ‘marriage’ took
place in France in the early 1770’s but it wasn’t until 1821 that the first English strawberry, named
Keene’s Seedling, came on the market.
Handle soft fruit as little as possible as they bruise easily. Hull strawberries just before use and
only wash soft fruit if you absolutely have to.

What better way to welcome summer than

with a Summer Pudding. Once called Queen
Mab’s Pudding it is traditionally made with
white bread but I prefer to use very thin slices of
brioche or trifle sponges. Individual puddings
made in teacups look very stylish unmoulded on
a to a puddle of single cream.

SUMMER PUDDING
Line a 1 litre pudding basin (or soufflé dish)
or 4 large teacups with very thin slices of white
or sweet bread.
Tip 350g each of strawberries and raspberries
into a pan and add 2tbs water and 150g caster
sugar. Cook over medium heat, gently stirring, just
until the sugar melts and forms a syrup.Take care
not to break up the fruits. Spoon into the lined
dish/teacups and top with more bread slices.
If the dish/cups are fully filled, tightly cover
with clingfilm. Alternatively place a small plate
on top and add a heavy can to weight it down.
The idea is to compress the fruit so that the
bread absorbs the fruit juices and becomes
bright pink.
Chill overnight. Unmould just before serving.
Page 30
ALMOND AND STRAWBERRY SUNDAES
Put 8 Ameretti biscuits (the hard Italian
macaroons) into a bag and crush to rough
crumbs. Tip into a bowl, add 200g cremé fraiche
and gently stir together, adding a little milk if
needed to make a soft cream consistency.
Slice 450g strawberries and sweeten if
needed. Spoon some of the fruit into 4 tall
glasses, add a layer of the cremé mixture and
continue to layer ending with cremé. Top with a
whole berry and serve.
