They had a few work in other spheres, too. The Surrey Advertiser ran rolled-up mattresses, and no fire or heat.

Tea was served and vocal numbers were given in native costume by the well-known Maori chieftain Ranginia and Princess Takapuna’. This was a defi- nite scoop for Cranleigh, as Chief Ranginia with his Maori songs was all the rage in London society at the time.
The August meeting of the Hambledon Rural Dis- trict Council (which included Cranleigh) heard an application by the Aldershot Traction Company to extend its current service (Guildford to Wonersh and Bramley) to Shamley Green and Cranleigh, and eventually to Horsham. One councillor found the proposal very acceptable, as the railway timeta- ble had become awful. The omnibuses, which had rubber tyres, did not do half as much damage to the roads as tractors. Another said that private mo- tor cars had decreased to such an extent that he thought it was time public services were increased. To get about at all, he had to walk! Another thought that the bus company should bear their fair share of the upkeep of the road. Yet another declared, fairly predictably, ‘Surely it would be better to wait The Curry Inn, formerly the International Stores until after the war.’ The matter was referred to the 4 www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE

Timothy Pearson Hairdresser and Musician
hen we were young and still at school we often wondered what we Wwould do when we ‘grow up’. The seeds of dreams are formed at a very young age and they grow within us, never leaving us until they come to fruition. How- ever, they can fall by the wayside and get left behind by the bustle of everyday life.
Not so for Timothy Pearson, who as a young boy attended Glebelands, a local school in Cranleigh and has since spent most of his life here in the village. At school he was very creative and artistic, loved music, and playing the guitar - which he had done since the age of four years old.
8 www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE
Tim has lived in Cranleigh for twenty seven years, and when he left school he decided to become a professional hairdresser and trained with Toni & Guy when he was just seventeen.
However his love of music and playing the guitar never left him and he decided to change direction, cutting hair and going to music college where he excelled.
In 1996 he got his big break when he suc- cessfully auditioned against hundreds of other hopefuls to become lead guitarist for
the band Boyzone and within three weeks

Tim adds; ‘But I love the creativity and freedom of expression with hairdressing.’ His salon, Timothy Pearson Hairdressing, opened in the village on the corner of St James’ Place in 2006 and his business is very much a part of the local community.
Tim still plays guitar but who would have thought when he was a young boy in the classroom, how much those small seeds of imaginings would grow and lead him in his musical career playing guitar all over the world.

So with the holiday season well and truly here, let me welcome you to… Cranleigh-on-Sea. Look among the flocks and you might find a Com- mon Gull. Birds often have misleading names, and Nearly every day outside of the breeding season this is one. It is not the most common gull around you can look up from the High Street and see large, here. You can see them on most winter days but you long necked black looking birds flying overhead, might have to look through 50 Black-headed Gulls sometimes singly but often in a line. to find just one.
They look a bit like geese but these are Cormorants. © Andreas Trepte www.photo-natur.de. The first of these traditionally coastal birds was re- corded here in 1954. But now you can regularly find them along The Cranleigh Waters and small ponds and lakes. As the sport of fishing has prospered so too have the hungry Cormorants.
One bird I’m not so keen on is the Herring Gull, especially since one flew up behind me in St Ives two summers ago, whacked me over the head, and nicked a £2 ice cream from my hand. Gobbled the lot in one go! Fortunately we don’t have to hang on to our ice creams or picnic food here just yet – but we may have to in future if this species continues its spread inland. Lesser Black-backed Gull 14 www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk Crane Spotter: tales from a Cranleigh birder
Lesser Black-backed Gulls are not as tame locally as the other two species but they can often be seen on passage or in ploughed fields in the autumn and winter. A few bully Great Black-backed Gulls may be lurking with them.
Gulls are always worth a closer look. Twenty years ago I saw just four gulls on a field near Alderbrook and was delighted to find our first – and so far, only - Yellow-legged Gull. It was regarded as a sub- species then but has since been given full species status.
Last April brought my biggest local gull surprise as an eagle-eyed birding friend -@BirdingGardener - pointed out a summer plumaged Little Gull, lazily circling north some 200 feet above the Surrey Hills with five Lesser Black-backed Gulls.

SHORT STORY Sowing Seeds of Love
othing smells more like summer than a freshly mown hayfield. Even in winter, when the hay bales Ngathered under summer sunshine are broken into, the scent is enough to take me back to those achingly bright, cloudless days, permeated by sweltering heat and steeped in sweat, working the field with my scythe, until the sun at last, fell below the horizon.
It was during one of these blistering, back-breaking days that I saw her. . . .
Jesse swore vehemently beside me, fumbling in his pock- et for his handkerchief and hastily mopping his dripping brow. “We’ll never get all of this done by the end of the month”, he growled.
I sighed and looked up from my hunched position, bent over the field, and followed my friend’s dismayed gaze to the surrounding crops, the red faced men and all the work still to do. Maybe he was right.
Abruptly my eye was caught by the sight of a wagon rolling in. Jesse noticed it too and an exhausted grin stretched across his goofy face. It was the beer wagon of course.
The vehicle came to a shuddering stop and hay exploded from the door hinge as it was flung open and men and women spilled out, laughing blithely and carrying great barrels with them as they did so.
We started down towards them, and it was then that I saw her ahead and stopped.
Jesse turned back to me before sharply shrugging and continuing down the slope. Jesse, such as he was, had a mind much too small to squeeze in more than one thing at a time and at present it was filled to the brim with thoughts of beer.
I smiled dazedly, gazing at a woman that had just got out of the wagon. She had sun-kissed skin and short, red hair and a sort of elegance in the way she knocked manure from her boots on the side of the carriage.
Our eyes locked and the earth moved.
I was going to marry her. I didn’t know her name yet, but it didn’t matter, not in the grand scheme of things. I just knew that the universe had chosen her for me, and I for her. I knew it like I knew the sky was blue, and that old Mrs Hartigan was thieving from the church collection box. 24 www.cranleighmagazine.co.uk CRANLEIGH MAGAZINE Sowing Seeds of Love
