Newsletter –Autumn 2015
Winter 2015 Hon. Patron – Michael Aspel OBE Weybridge Memories: Peter’s Café By Louise Johncox Growing up in a tea shop means cakes hold memories for me. Some of these memories are happy, some sad, all are a reflection of my family life. My parents ran Peter’s in Weybridge from 1958 to 2000, where I grew up alongside my two older brothers and younger sister. All our lives were shaped by the traditional cakes our father made. It is one thing having a lot of cake memories, but when I decided to write a book, The Baker’s Daughter, what would be the best way to unlock all these memories? At first, I examined the old tea shop menu and drew up a list of the cakes and savouries, jotting down stories and anecdotes. I recalled certain customers by the name of their favourite pastries such as Mrs Meringue and Mrs Millefeuille. I visited my retired parents at the family home in Weybridge and asked them for any stories linked to the cakes and savouries. I also probed my siblings for their cake memories. My Mum, Frankie, a former nurse, married Dad in 1960, and they held their wedding reception in the tea room. At first, Mum was the most forthcoming with her recollections. The fact she was the welcoming face of the tea shop meant she had the most detailed knowledge of the customers who came in for their morning coffee, light lunch or afternoon tea (as the menu stated). Dad came from a long line of pastry chefs – his grandparents ran Beti’s in Ryde, Isle of Wight, and he grew up in his parents’ tea shop, Lane’s in Westcliff.

The Surrey Local Flood Risk Management Strategy: • Explains how partners are working together to reduce flood risk. • Provides an overview of the ongoing flood risk management work underway across Surrey. • Outlines which organisations are responsible for different types of flooding to ensure a common understanding of roles, responsibilities and priorities within the county. Extreme weather, existing buildings in floodplains and limited funding mean we cannot stop flood incidents in Surrey. However, through the strategy we will coordinate our services so that flood risk is reduced and the aftermath of flood incidents is minimised. The strategy provides a real opportunity for us to work together with residents and businesses to reduce risk and prepare for the future.
