In the book, it's all being run by Surrey Hills National Landscape. It's a children's design competition to help create the end papers, that's what they call them, for the Thousand Year Tree Children's Book, which is being created, as I say, to celebrate Surrey's ancient trees. It's got me intrigued. What ancient trees have we got in the planet Reigate area?

I'd love to know a little bit more about that. I must investigate. So the book's going to be distributed to schools and libraries across Surrey, obviously. Now, there are two age categories for the competition, age 4 to 6 and 7 to 11. You can use, or your child can use any medium, paint, pencils, chalk, That would be appropriate, wouldn't it, in our neck of the woods?

Oils, pastels, and you can even include textures from nature if you want, like bark rubbings or collage. And they'll be looking for designs that are botanical and beautiful, informative, obviously themed around trees and nature, possibly around the passing of time or the seasons.

This is something your child can work on perhaps over the school summer holidays because the deadline is Wednesday the 4th of September. Other prizes include book bundles and bookshop tokens. I didn't know bookshop tokens were still a thing. Do you remember when you used to get those for Christmas presents?

And the overall winner of the competition, as I say, will actually have their design printed in the book, which sounds a fantastic prize, doesn't it? I like that. I'm not artistic, but I like the idea of having my name and having something I've created in or on a book. That sounds really good, doesn't it? And then it'll be available on Amazon and things like that.

That'd be really cool, wouldn't it? All your classmates will be able to see that too. That's really unusual. That's a different prize, isn't it? I love that. Love that. Us in a Bus, as you probably know, is a registered charity based at Redhill Aerodrome, which supports people who are often isolated and find communicating with the world and the people in it a massive challenge.

I've spoken to them previously, not on the programme, not here on the podcast, but they in other walks of life and, you know, another local group charity which does amazing, outstanding and important work.

They say the people we support have profound and multiple learning disabilities, complex needs and sensory processing differences requiring specialist assistance to build meaningful engagement with others. And they've got a fundraiser and it's an abseil down the Senate Tower in London in October. They say we desperately need people to sign up to do it and raise funds for us.

So they say, Peter, maybe a little plug on the Planet Reigate podcast would be absolutely great. Of course, more than happy to do that. Details, they say, can be found on our website on the Get Involved page. There are also links on the page to JustGiving in case people want to donate rather than to do the abseil themselves. usinabus.org.uk.

Carol, really pleased to meet up with you recently and I'm sure going to be in touch with you again in the not too distant future. Hope that goes brilliantly. There's a new exhibition at Adams Gallery in Reigate. John Piper was the Queen Mother's favourite artist from the 1950s. Over 30 Pipers are on display and for sale in the gallery on Reigate High Street.
