Fancy a walk tomorrow morning? From 10.30am on Monday the 12th, Memory Lane guests will be taken around Knowle Park, and anyone is welcome to join them for a fun, relaxing stroll. Twenty guests did the same walk recently, and the following Monday Dr Jill Rasmussen came back to Cranleigh Arts Centre to help carers put together a care plan and arrange an annual review. The next meeting there is Monday the 19th at 2pm. Everyone is welcome, especially if you can sing along to a ukulele. To find out more, call Memory Lane on 01483 274398 or email [email protected].

On 29 July 1975 Princess Anne arrived at Knowle by helicopter, to general excitement, for the Save the Children rally at the Cranleigh Show. She was 25 and already the charity's President. She toured the show in a Landrover, met children from local schools, inspected the Brownies, and took a close interest in Riding for the Disabled. The Cranleigh group had started in 1967 at Rowley's Farm with three riders, three helpers and two ponies. Today it has nine ponies and more than 190 volunteers. Royal visits here have always been rare, and Joy Horn also finds the Prince of Wales buying his wines and groceries at Tyler's on the High Street in the 1930s. If local history is your thing, Cranleigh History Society meets tonight at 8pm in the Band Room, where Tony Painter will speak on hillside chalk figures.

Maria Kovalikova baked her first cakes at 14, one every Sunday for her parents and four sisters in the small Slovak village of Malatina, where her parents farmed. By the evening they had usually gone. Decades later, during COVID, she came across French-style mousse cakes online and wanted to know how anyone made them. The London courses cost thousands, so she taught herself through online ones instead, with her partner Richard as first customer and most enthusiastic taster. After a move to the Rudgwick area in 2021, the hobby became Love My Cakes. She has never made exactly the same cake twice, she still gets goosebumps when one is finished, and she admits the hardest part is giving it away. Maria also took the photograph on our October cover.

Free music on Tuesday. The Mordkovitch Trio makes a welcome return to Cranleigh Arts on the 6th at 1pm, with Katherine Wilson on violin, Jennifer Janse on cello and Ilana Mordkovitch-Roos on piano. It's a late-Romantic programme: Debussy's exuberant Piano Trio, Mel Bonis's impressionistic Soir and Frank Bridge's stormy Phantasie Trio in C minor. There's no entry charge, though donations are welcome, and you can reserve a seat in advance at cranleigharts.org or on 01483 278000.

The October issue is on its way. Issue 132 of Cranleigh Magazine will be landing on doormats across Cranleigh and the surrounding villages over the coming days, and this month's cover photograph was taken by Maria Kovalikova, our People Profile. She started baking at 14, one cake every Sunday for her family in a small Slovak village, and now makes elaborate mousse cakes for customers. Also inside: Princess Anne's visit to the Cranleigh Show in 1975, a pair of Great Crested Grebes that hatched twins late in the season, and a Venus flytrap with a bluebottle inside. Colin the Chameleon is hiding in there somewhere too. If a copy doesn't reach you, pick one up at the Co-op, Sainsbury's or One-Stop in Cranleigh, Cranleigh Leisure Centre, Little Manor Garage or Rudgwick Co-op.

Anyone who has ever belonged to a writing group will recognise every line of this month's poem. The early arrival to bag a parking space, the far more serious scramble for a decent chair, Nora and her raspberry roulade, Sonia complaining her chair is too hard, the Prosecco going round until it is empty, and Nora sulking because Annie has pinched her seat. There is a black cat, a photograph, and the remains of a mouse that nobody is told about. It ends, as these things do, with strong tea and nobody able to remember when they start back in September.

Farm fresh meat, seven days a week, from a shipping container. Ivelle Farm has installed a vending machine stocked with frozen beef, lamb and pork, open from 8.30am to 8pm every day. It is run by third generation farmer Alec Clouting, who wanted people to be able to buy their meat where it was actually reared rather than watching it go off to a livestock market and come back via a supermarket. All the animals are grass fed, the local butcher and abattoir benefit too, and the whole thing was made possible by the Surrey Economic Growth Fund. You will find it at Ivelle Farm, Knowle Lane, Baynards Road, Horsham RH12 3AG. Read the full story: https://www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk/ivelle-farm-meat-vending-machine/
