The Queen in her own words Quiet, impeccably mannered, but always addressing with poise and precision, what Queen Elizabeth II says is always worth hearing. The Queen and Diana The idea that the Queen was in some way unapproving of Diana is one that has permeated the popular press and, it might be said, has left an indelible stain on the reputation of both. Yet many biographers have noted that the relationship between the two was excellent, even after the break-up of Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles. “No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her. “She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her - for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.” Serving her country Upon the Queen’s coronation, she declared herself fully at the service of the nation she was serving, as have all Monarchs coming to the throne. While the words are regularly spoken, the intensity with which they were said perhaps should have given
6
some indication that Elizabeth truly was giving herself over to the nation, a
efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.” fact that has been borne out in the 70 years that have followed. “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service and the service of our great imperial family to which we all belong.” Struggles Taking strength from all around her, the Queen has never professed to have all the answers. “I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their
Family Bringing the royals back to a status where people can empathise and share in the joys and pain of the family unit, is something Elizabeth has excelled in. “Like all best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.” Contrition Finally, the Queen has not only had to reference and apologise for events that occurred long before she was born. “To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.”

TURN YOUR HOUSE INTO YOUR “FOREVER HOME” WITH SHUTTERS At Just Shutters we have a deep understanding of the benefits (and added value) our shutters bring to a home, whether it’s period or modern. The subtle quality they bestow on the appearance of a property is immediately obvious – the uplift is instant, and the aura of the ‘forever-home’ absolutely radiates. The relaxed privacy they offer from an interior perspective, as well as their elegant and stylish appearance, helps establish the ‘blank canvas’ on which interior design can flourish. The effect is, quite simply, transformational, and especially so as they make a room look lighter and brighter and feel larger. Our shutters are astonishingly practical. In the dark days of winter, they screen out the cold and wet, making living spaces and bedrooms cosy and intimate. In the intensifying summer heat, we’ve all endured in recent years, they keep a home shaded and cool. Plantation shutters enhance a house as a haven from climatic extremes… and the British Blinds & Shutters Association has found they improve thermal efficiency of windows by up to 40%, giving a huge saving in these times of rampant energy cost rises. As specialists in our field – shutters are our entire focus – we are naturally proud of having delivered over 25,000 orders and installations to date, and our 9.9 rating on Checkatrade backs this up.

The Mention of Reinvention Daniel Radcliffe’s ability to embrace new projects across multiple mediums is no less admirable than his willingness to reference the past, and a certain wizard who just won’t go away. Change and reinvention for Daniel Radcliffe has never been in doubt. Of course, the 32-year-old, to some, will always be Harry Potter, no matter how much the genre changes or the boyish good looks lessen. “I learned a long time ago you can’t keep going back to the well,” he admits. “Harry Potter was great but, you know, I was a kid, and I’m definitely not that kid now. “Of course I will always be grateful, and I know to a certain generation they would love me to stay that character forever, but for my own sanity I had to reinvent as far away from that
as I could, and I feel I have done that. “And besides, what film does is immortalises people in that moment… so I will always be there, in one sense.” Since the final Potter film screened in 2011, Radcliffe has extended his range with a series of daring performances in horror films (The Woman in Black and Victor Frankenstein), dramas (Kill Your Darlings and The Gamechangers), and edgy comedies (Horns and Swiss Army Man). He’s also made a name for himself on stage in Equus (famously appearing naked), How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and Broadway play Privacy. “I don’t have any strategy other than to choose projects that make me happy and satisfy me creatively. “It starts with the script, but I’m also anxious to work with actors and directors I admire, and who are going to help me grow as an individual and evolve in my profession.” For a while, it
12
seemed as though Radcliffe, who is in a long-term relationship with actress Erin Darke, was going to head the way of emotive, intellectual independent movies. After all, that would match the headspace he occupied as a kid growing up writing and poetry – two things he loves. “I think my love of words comes from having grown up surrounded by books, scripts, and plays. My father was an agent whose clients were writers and directors and there were always stacks of books lying around the house. “I didn’t read that much when I was a child but suddenly around the age of 14, I began to devour everything, especially books on history. I still read a lot although now it’s mainly nonfiction. Reading and writing are great passions of mine and I think that has helped me in terms of choosing scripts. “Ultimately, whatever it is – TV, film, stage – I know what makes me tick and I look forward to the next job, and making the best of that experience.”

Take a walk on the wild side in Dorset: 30 Days Wild, the UK’s biggest nature challenge, is back! Dorset Wildlife Trust is inviting everyone to take part in the UK’s biggest nature challenge which kicks off on 1 June 2022 with the Big Wild Breakfast, the first of the ‘random acts of wildness’ designed to bring people across Dorset closer to nature every day in June. Across Dorset, there are so many opportunities to connect with nature from the beautiful Jurassic coast to chalk streams, forests, heaths and meadows. To mark the 30 Days Wild Weekend on Saturday 18 June, there will be a series of events at Dorset Wildlife Trust visitor centres including the opportunity to explore moths at the Kingcombe Visitor Centre or take part in the Brownsea Island early bird walk and breakfast. Find out more here Events | Dorset Wildlife Trust Last year a record 760,000 people took part in 30 Days Wild which is for people of all ages and from all backgrounds. From mums, dads and kids to schools and care homes, participants come from all walks of life. Last year supporters across the UK completed over 16 million acts of wildness; the most popular activities were wildlife-watching, eating outdoors, planting wildflower seeds and listening to birdsong. A survey of 2021 participants revealed that the pandemic positively affected their appreciation of the natural world, and that by connecting with nature, people were inspired to take action for the world around them: 14
• 78% of participants said the pandemic made them value nature more. • 88% said they were very likely to make their garden more wildlife-friendly after participating in 30 Days Wild, or had already done so. • 74% said they had either already taken action to reduce their carbon footprint or were very likely to after taking part in 30 Days Wild. Brian Bleese, Chief executive of Dorset Wildlife Trust, says: “30 Days Wild is a great opportunity to take a little time to do one ‘wild’ thing every day throughout June – whether it’s listening to birdsong, seeing a butterfly, walking on the beach, going to one of our 40 nature reserves and 4 visitor centres across the county or watching our barn owl webcam at Lorton Meadows from the comfort of your own home. The annual nature challenge not only connects you with nature but the research tells us that keeping it wild will actually make you happier and healthier too.” Sign up for 30 Days Wild at: wildlifetrusts.org/30dayswild By Hazel Ormrod, Marketing Projects Officer

A Design for Life… The Kevin McCloud Column Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin McCloud leapt into our consciousness with his vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. This month, the affable architectural business owner talks about the very first and most basic element of any project, communication. I take it as a huge compliment when I see the Grand Designs format taken to foreign shores. In particular, our Grand Designs Abroad project, which is going back well over 15 years now, saw us working with ambitious homeowners in France, Italy and Spain in undertaking ventures to make their design dreams come true. What dawned on me is the fact that anything is possible when you are able to communicate a concept… clearly, concisely, properly. In reality, that’s no more difficult to do in a foreign language than it is in English. After all, how often do we see home improvement shows here in the UK where the concept of what someone wants ends up a million miles from what they get?! It all comes down to interaction and being clear as far as what
18
we want and what we don’t want. I do believe in rural areas it’s a bit easier to harvest contacts and make a difference,
but wherever you are, city or countryside, the Loire Valley or London, ultimately what makes a difference is working on and solidifying personal relations. It’s about sitting down, being firm but polite, offering incentives and trying to get others investing in your project. Above all else, it’s about communicating. And that communication doesn’t end when you’ve had your house extension done; it should carry on over time. When we returned to France to catch up with some of our couples, it was great to see so
many of them fully integrated into their communities. Their contribution wasn’t just about adding to the local economy but learning the language and forming genuine friendships so that they could be really engaged with becoming part of that place. After all, a home is an entity not just in the context of what’s inside it, but what’s around it as well, and that’s always worth bearing in mind. People buy into people, and it’s amazing the extra lengths all of us will go to when we like, trust and believe in the people who come to us for help and support. So as I said at the start, communication is the first step… and sometimes the biggest one you’ll make, as well, so get it right!

The Queen in Decades
Buckingham Palace announced recently that it was already beginning plans for Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday, even though she is still over four years from that milestone.
Even now, at 95, Elizabeth still undertakes her seemingly endless list of public and private duties with consummate ease, and to begin the long process of
preparations in the lead-up to her century milestone in 2026, we have compiled a collection of images of the Queen on every decade of her life.
At 20 - Princess Elizabeth in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, seen here with her mother Queen Elizabeth.
At 10 - Princess Elizabeth, right, arriving with her sister, Princess Margaret, at the Royal Tournament, Olympia.
At 40 - The River Severn was at its full tide of 46ft as the Queen opened the world’s seventhlongest bridge with Mrs Barbara Castle

Jennie Bond A portrait of the Queen, by revered royal correspondent, Jennie Bond. Jennie Bond worked as Royal Correspondent for the BBC throughout the Nineties, covering some of the happiest, most tragic and scandalous moments that have befallen the family in recent times. “At the heart of it, I am fan of royalty and a fan of the family unit,” she says. “The trials that the Royal Family have been through are really no different to our own, and that should reassure them as well as us. They are human beings, and fate doesn’t shine brighter on them, because the everyday gains and losses that are just part of being alive. “Ultimately, it is how you come back from the challenges that really matters – and the Queen has, over the past seven decades, truly shown herself to be the most resilient person possible.” Bond is certainly relieved our Head of State has styled and
22
positioned herself with such a brand of quiet authority. “You could arguably look at almost everyone around the Queen and pick out faults and failings,” she says. “We’ve seen so many in recent years, to the extent we don’t need to name the culprits or the dealings. “Yet when you shine that light on the Queen it’s really difficult, at any point, to say, ‘you got that wrong’, or ‘this could have been done better’. “I think with Elizabeth we tend to take that for granted – we tend to just accept she is like that without contemplating what sort of royal landscape we would have with someone less capable at the helm.” As far as privacy goes, the
Queen values it, but respects the need to be visible and approachable. “Elizabeth is funny, charismatic, sharp as anything, but I think worn down at times by the sheer weight of what it is she has to do. It’s no easy task for someone in their nineties and no amount of wealth or privilege will compensate for what is an incredible commitment to her people,” says Bond. “I have had the honour of covering a lot of royal moments of great importance… moments in history I suppose – Princess Diana’s death, the Queen Mother’s death, the divorce of Charles and Diana. All those were very important moments I had to report on. But honestly, I think the jubilee celebrations and the pomp and pageantry is the most important. I know it signifies a simple anniversary – just a date in the calendar – but more than that it’s a way of looking back over the continued efforts of someone so brave and inspiring, and is the perfect way to say ‘thank you’ to a very special lady.”

Money on my mind... the Martin Lewis column He’s the UK’s leading money saving expert - a journalist and presenter who has kept millions of pounds in people’s pockets as well as lifting the lid on the threats and dangers we need to be aware of as consumers. In this month’s column, Martin Lewis looks at haggling, and discusses whether it’s a dying art into which we need to breathe new life. We have a real aversion to haggling in this country – in fact, I would say we are some of the world’s worst hagglers. We’ve lost the bravado and confidence we once had to cut a deal, yet if you master haggling, and it is an artform, it’s fun and actually adds a layer of enjoyment to the process of buying and selling. Most people encounter haggling when it comes to their utilities and other service providers, and in simple terms, if you don’t haggle when it comes to renewing your broadband or TV package or mobile contract or car insurance or whatever it is, you are simply costing yourself money that could translate to a meal, or a deposit for a car, or a holiday. The first part of haggling where utilities are concerned is to get on price comparison sites in order to get a benchmark of what is available elsewhere, because that’s your target. Usually these best offers will be
24
in the form of ‘new customer’ initiatives, though as an existing customer who has already paid into the pot, why the hell should you not be qualifying for the same deals. At the end of the day, a lot of haggling comes down to being honest, forceful and confident, but also charming and friendly. Explain your budget, explain the better deal being offered by another provider, or by your own provider to new customers, and make it clear you will leave unless something changes. Of course, many of us know
those best deals come when, as an existing customer, you get put through to disconnections – it’s the point at which your provider is really just one step away from losing you for good, and it is those customer service agents who have the ability to get you a much better price. Ultimately, it is your negotiation here that will count, but if you don’t get the deal you think you deserve, my advice is to walk away. If you can negotiate a new deal, don’t get caught on a long agreement, and do remember to phone back to renegotiate again when any promotional period ends. Mostly, be charming, friendly and forceful, and enjoy the process of haggling!

STAR GAZING WRITTEN BY KATE EARL
kateearlastro@gmail.com
Welcome to the June Stargazing Page. Highlights this month include a Planetary Parade and the hunt for noctilucent clouds. International Space Station
The ISS can only be seen on the 29th and 30th this month, very early in the morning. To establish exact timings please refer to www.heavens-above.com or a similar webpage for up-to-date information, remembering to set the location to your observing area.
Jupiter & Saturn
Both gas giants are visible in the morning. Saturn rises first around 12.30am. Jupiter is visible to its lower left, rising around 1.30am.
Planetary Parade
Late in June there is a rare opportunity for those of you with modest-sized telescopes to potentially see a ‘Planetary Parade’ (with the added bonus of the Moon and Pluto!), as around the 26th, with the help of sky maps freely available in magazines or the internet, it is possible to locate all well-known objects in the Solar System around 3.30am (see figure). Be mindful that dawn advances quickly at this time of year, so ensure you know the time of sunrise in your area and never look directly at the Sun with the naked eye or optical aids. For those of you without telescopes, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be visible in a line all month in our early morning skies.
Moon
June’s full moon occurs on the 14th.
Events
Midsummer, or the Summer Solstice (from the Latin for ‘the sun stands still’) occurs on June 21st. For the northern hemisphere, it marks the day when the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky at noon (GMT). We experience this as the ‘longest day’ of the year (the longest amount of daylight and the shortest night). The early summer months are the best time to try and spot a rare and beautiful cloud-type: noctilucent clouds. If conditions are favourable, these blue-white illuminated clouds are visible thirty minutes after sunset for a couple of hours, in our northern skies. Although the exact cause of their formation is unknown, we know they are composed of tiny water ice crystals and form about 80km up in the atmosphere. Although June itself isn’t well-known for any major meteor showers, in 2014 the UN officially named June 30th as Asteroid Day. This day was chosen as it marks the anniversary of the Tunguska Event that took place in Siberia in 1908. Asteroid Day aims to raise awareness about asteroids, and if you want to find out more head to the official webpage at asteroidday.org.

The Queen’s Jubilee: Platinum Pomp The work that goes on behind the scenes to mark Jubilee celebrations. Soldiers, horses and musicians It all starts to come to fruition on the Thursday, as Trooping the Colour marks the Queen’s birthday celebrations. Over 1,400 parading soldiers, 200 horses and 400 musicians will come together in the traditional Parade. This is the first Jubilee celebration in which women will be included in the regiment, so additional preparations have been made to ensure the influx of first-time participants. RAF fly-past The traditional RAF fly-past completes the parade. The routine will have been practised countless times, though contrary to popular belief, this isn’t just a privilege reserved for the Queen. In the lead-up to the event, local communities have been invited to apply for their own fly-pasts. Jubilee beacons A fortnight before the Jubilee, 1,500 Platinum Jubilee beacons will have been distributed across the UK. This lighting
of beacons first took place in 1897 to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee and are a symbol of unity across towns, borders, countries and continents. St Paul’s Cathedral On Friday, June 3rd, attention switches to the Thanksgiving service at St Paul’s Cathedral. Public safety elements come to the fore here, with tens of thousands of well-wishers lining the streets around the Thames as the Queen and family members attend. The Derby A day of leisure follows on the Saturday as the Queen visits The Derby at Epsom Downs. The event itself is over 240 years old and has garnered a different winner every year, and is open only to three-year-old thoroughbred colts and fillies who have qualified for the race in the months preceding it. It remains the race that offers the biggest prize pot in the British racing – over £1.1million. 10,000 charitable tickets In the evening, Elizabeth returns to London for a party at Buckingham Palace. In
30
the months leading up to the event, which features music and drama celebrating some of the most significant cultural moments from The Queen’s seven-decade, over 10,000 tickets have been made available to charitable organisations. This has been two years in the planning. Street celebrations Finally, on Sunday, June 5th, communities across the UK are invited play out their own Platinum Jubilee street celebrations. Named The Big Lunch and launched in 2009, communities have been planning for months how they wish to mark the special day, with up over 1,500 applications made. 200 silk scarfs At the same time, the Platinum Jubilee Pageant sees artistic performers, dancers, musicians, military personnel, key workers and volunteers tell the story of the Queen’s 70-year reign. It includes a ‘River of Hope’ section comprised of 200 silk flags made by primary and secondary school children.

Greenfingers… the Alan Titchmarsh column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration. This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about immersing ourselves in the great outdoors this summer.
back that the person isn’t into nature, or doesn’t know where to start when it comes to pruning or trimming.
Get out! Get out! Get out! Yes, you – I’m telling you to get up, put your shoes on, open the door and immerse yourself in what a wonderful country and wonderful landscape this is. Even after my 70-plus years here, I am proud and passionate and loyal to the UK, and I could never live anywhere else; and while those emotions hold firm all year round, in my mind there is never a better time to soak up the majesty of nature than now, with the sun out, the days growing longer, and nature unequivocally at her most resplendent. When I suggest getting outdoors in this way – and I suggest it a lot! – on some occasions I get the answer
In reality, it doesn’t matter. Of course I want our gardens to be at their most beautiful as regularly as they can, but these spaces are as much about what they give us, as they are what we give them. So while our own lawns and beds and trellises are often a priority, in these early days of summer I would encourage you to take the opportunity to sample those of others… in the wild, at a country house, even at a neighbour’s. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so get out there, get imitating, and get inspired. And by the way, take your kids… every time. Get them off their consoles, prise them away from social media – it’s really good for
32
them to see this whole other side of things. It’s funny, the three big things government are always ranting on about are law and order, health, and education. That’s fair enough. And yet, time outdoors, time gardening, gives us all of them. If you’re letting off steam, you’re less likely to use your anger in a place where it wouldn’t be suitable. If you’re out there, you’re learning about how things grow, so that’s the education element. And the health part is obvious fresh air, exercise, open spaces gardens, parks, woodland, moorland. I know it sounds terribly tribe, but I do think if some of these world leaders just went out and pottered about in their garden for an hour every Saturday letting off steam, the world just might be a better place! So, please… get out!

Far-flung Fiction This month, a smorgasbord of titles to transport you to wherever your imagination desires. Before Take-off by Adi Alsaid Two teens, James and Michelle, meet and fall in love during a layover-gone-wrong at the Atlanta airport, intrigued by a mysterious flashing green light, which turns out to be a button. Michelle presses it, kicking off a chain of strange and seemingly impossible events, from snowstorms inside B terminal to jungles sprouting up in C terminal, as earthquakes split the ground apart in between. The duo must team up to find their families and escape before it’s too late. Published by Knopf Books on June 7th My Name is Jason. Mine too by Jason Reynolds and Jason Griffin A poet and an artist, Jason Reynolds and Jason Griffin have always pursued a single unity and journey on the way to making their dreams come true. Willing to have a life not un-hard, so long as it wasn’t unhappy, willing to let New York swallow them whole, so long as it gave them their chance, this is the story of how they have gained global recognition through art and creativity.

From lighthearted recollections to deeply thoughtout concepts – “what if painting was a sin, and the poetry became taboo, and no one ever clapped for me again; my question is, would you?” – this is a glowing tribute. Published by Simon and Schuster on June 28th Old Rage by Sheila Hancock At one point, Sheila Hancock looked like she was managing and even thriving in old age, yet shocking diagnoses, Brexit and bereavement seemed to knock her from every quarter. And that was before lockdown. Home alone, classified as ‘extremely vulnerable’, she finds herself
yelling at the TV and talking to the pigeons. Yet in Old Rage, Hancock can at least take a good long look at life - her work and family, her beliefs (many of them the legacy of her wartime childhood) and, uncomfortable as it might be to face, her future. Published by Bloomsbury on June 9th Access All Areas by Barbara Charone To know Barbara Charone is to know music. First as a journalist and then a publicist at Warner Bros for nearly 20 years, Charone has experienced, first-hand, the changes in the cultural landscape. Access All Areas is a personal, insightful and humorous memoir packed with stories of being on the cultural frontline, from first writing press releases on a typewriter driven by Tip Ex, then as a press officer for heavy metal bands, to launching Madonna, an unknown girl from Detroit.

Paul Hollywood’s Authentic Cornish Pasty Introduction A Cornish pasty is one of those things we almost always buy, yet in baking terms the concept is really very simple. After all, this was a homebaking staple for the tin miners of Cornwall, with its thick crust ready to be disposed of, so ensuring dirty hands wouldn’t contaminate the meat. Delicious, wholesome, and able to be added to vegetables or salad to form a main meal, the pasty really is one of my favourites.
Ingredients (serves 5) For the pastry • 450g plain flour • salt • 115g cold lard, diced • 75g cold unsalted butter, diced • About 90ml ice-cold water • 1 egg, lightly beaten, to glaze For the filling • 1 large onion • 120g swede • 1 large floury potato, such as King Edward or Maris Piper • 400g beef skirt • 50g butter • Salt and pepper to season
Method
1. To make the pastry, mix the flour and salt in a large bowl, add the lard and butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in enough
36
water to make a fairly firm dough, then knead briefly until smooth. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for at least 30 minutes. 2. Now move on to the filling, slicing the onion finely to start. Cut the swede and potato into small, thin strips; keep each separate. Cut the beef into small, thin pieces and divide into five portions. 3. Heat the oven to 200°C/Gas mark 6. Divide the pastry into five equal pieces. Roll each out on a lightly floured surface to a 3mm thickness and cut out a 24cm circle, using a plate as a guide. 4. Scatter a scant layer of swede on the pastry semicircle, leaving a 1cm border. Add a similar layer of potato, season lightly and top with
some onion. Repeat the swede and potato layers, seasoning as you go. Check the pasty will close, then add the beef. Add a final layer of onion, season and dot with butter. 5. Brush the pastry border with a little beaten egg, then close the lid of the pasty, making sure that the edges meet. Press together firmly and then crimp the edges together by pinching all the way round between your thumb and forefinger. 6. Fill and seal the remaining circles of pastry in the same way. Place the pasties on two baking trays and cut two small slits in the middle of each one. Brush the pastry with beaten egg. Bake for 20 minutes, then lower the oven setting to 160°C/Gas mark 3 and bake for 30 minutes longer.
