Summer- Keeping Cool.

Sleep on a feather or down pillow with a cotton pillowcase. Synthetic pillows will retain heat.

The night before you go out for the day in the sun, roll some damp flannels up and pop them in the freezer. Take them with you in a plastic bag. Then, when you start to feel hot, unwrap them and place them over your face.

Slow down and avoid strenuous activity which will stimulate your body and raise its core temperature. If you must go jogging, do it during the coolest part of the day, which is usually before 7am.

Take a tepid bath or shower just below body temperature, especially before bedtime. Although a cold shower might sound more tempting, your body generates heat afterwards to compensate for the heat loss.

Run your wrists under a cold tap for five seconds each every couple of hours. Because a main vein passes through this area, it helps cool the blood.

Grapevine Tips Summer is here and so are flies!

Here are some simple home remedies to keep flies out: Camphor is a great deterrent for flies. Just place a piece of it in bowls and keep in the four corners of the room. Iyou have too many flies, you could light the Camphor and spread the fumes throughout the room.

Basil is a common plant in may households. Apart from all its medicinal properties, it is also a good deterrent for flies. Planting Basil at home can help in reducing the numer of flies. If you want to invest in something low cost yet effective, a fly swat is the way to go. Natural oils like lavender oil, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil and lemon grass oil, are another way to keep flies at bay. Soak a piece of cloth or sponge in the oil and store it in an airtight conatiner. Keep the container open in the room that you want fly free.

After use replace the lid and store. You should replenish the oils before every use.

If you have Lavender in the garden, then pick a few sprigs and hang in the kitchen, works well Grapevine Editor.

Grapevine Tips Summer Barbeques.

Food: Always give enough time out of the fridge, at least 20 minutes, for raw barbecue dishes to lose their chill and to be approaching room temperature. If the meat, chicken, fish or vegetable is too cold in the centre, the outside may well burn before the inside is cooked.

Marinate overnight whenever possible for maximum flavour (unless stated otherwise in the recipe). Extra virgin olive oil is great, but you should never use it in marinades. It burns and smokes on contact with the barbecue. Use light olive oil, or vegetable oil instead and save the extra virgin bottles for your salads and sauces.

Marinate in strong plastic bags, tied securely to prevent leakage when you turn them. Otherwise, always cover food tightly with clingfilm and use non-reactive containers such as glass, or stainless steel.

Before placing on the barbecue grill, rub or shake off any excess marinade, particularly if there is any oil in it, to prevent burning or flaring and the consequent smoky bitter flavour.

Pre -Retirement Courses in Beeston The photograph shown here are people who are approaching retirement and have attended a Pre-Retirement Course held at Beeston Town Hall last month.

This course covers everything you need to know in relation to retirement and all the delegates have enjoyed the help and support from the Nottingham & District Pre-Retirement group (a local charity who are celebrating 47 years in existence).

The only problem is that not many people are aware that there is a group right on their doorstep who ensure anyone within 3 years of retirement are notified of the many important changes in legislation which will affect State Retirement Pension dates. This will be particularly pertinent in relation to the Flat Rate State Pension which will start in April 2016. The course also covers the recent budget proposals in relation to annuities and other hot topics.

This course was an eye opener to all the delegates and many said they had not realised how much information was provided, such as “if I live in my villa in Spain, will I still receive my Government pension?”

“If I have a part time job will I pay tax and, if so how much?” or “how much will my investments be affected?”

“Can I still obtain credit when I retire?”

“If I have to go into residential care, will I have to sell my property to pay the fees?”

The Nottingham Pre-Retirement is holding courses each month at Beeston Town Hall and full details are on the website www.ndprc.org.uk or you can contact Phil Whitt on 0115 922 3824 to register for the next session.

Each delegate will be able to have a 1:1 with the speakers and course material, hand-outs and a 3 course buffet lunch will be provided.

A fee will be charged to cover room hire, lunches etc.

A soldier’s average life expectancy while in the trenches was six weeks.

Some of the people who were mostly at risk of early death were the junior officers and the stretcher bearers.

In the four years of WWI, 25 million tons of supplies were sent to the British forces serving on the Western Front – three million tons of food and five million tons of hay and oats for the horses.

As the war progressed, food rations for the soldiers were significantly reduced to keep up with the supply-man ratio. There usual meal while in the trenches was maconochie - so named after the company that made this thin soup of turnips, potatoes and carrots. Other food servings included bully beef and Marmite. There was also a small ration for rum and tea, but soldiers found the latter with terrible taste since water at that time was treated

Over 25 million miles of trenches were dug and zigzagged through the Western Front alone. A number of these trenches were nicknamed Bond Street or Death Valley while the German lines were dubbed as Pilsen Trench, so on.

In 1917, George V was forced to change the royal family’s name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor due to growing anti-German sentiment within Britain. A number of British road names were changed, too.

Some of the well-known people who served during WWI were authors AA Milne, the creator of Winnie the Pooh; JRR Tolkien of the popular Lord of the Rings Trilogy; sculptor Henry Moore and the British actor Basil Rathbone.

Grapevine Gardening Tips July This is often one of the hottest months of the year and a great time to sit out and enjoy your garden. Keep plants looking good by regularly dead-heading, and you’ll enjoy a longer display of blooms. Make sure you keep new plants well watered, using grey water where possible, and hoe off weeds, which thrive in the sunshine.

Prune Wisteria Don’t delay summer pruning restricted fruits Deadhead flowering plants regularly Watering! - particularly containers, and new plants, preferably with grey recycled water or stored rainwater Collect seed from favourite plants Harvest sweetcorn and other vegetables as they become ready Continue cutting out old fruited canes on raspberries Lift and pot up rooted strawberry runners Keep ponds and water features topped up Feed the soil with green manures Check clematis for signs of clematis wilt

12. Place conservatory plants outside now that it is warm 13. Water tubs and new plants if dry, but be water-wise 14. Deadhead bedding plants and repeat-flowering perennials, to ensure continuous flowering 15. Pick courgettes before they become marrows 16. Treat apple scab 17. Clear algae, blanket weeds and debris from ponds, and keep them topped up 18. Order catalogues for next year’s spring-flowering bulbs 19. Give the lawn a quick-acting summer feed, especially if not given a spring feed 20. Give woodwork a lick of paint or preserver, while the weather is dry

Those with green fingers have long known that gardening is good for you, physically and mentally.

And now it has been proven scientifically. Researchers have found that smelling roses and pulling up weeds can lower blood pressure, increase brain activity and produce a general upbeat feeling.Even just looking at a garden can give you a positive boost. The evidence is so compelling that the health factor has been given its own name - horticultural therapy - and is being used to treat hospital patients, plan cities and even to calm prisoners in jails.

Jobs for Late July - Early August Autumn-flowering bulbs, such as autumn crocuses, Colchicum, Sternbergia, Amaryllis and Nerine, can be planted now.

Some seeds are best planted just after collection, and others may need specific climatic conditions to break dormancy (e.g. some Alpines). If unsure, then sow seeds in ‘batches’, i.e. one immediately after collecting, one in winter, and one in the following spring.

Cutting back, pruning and dividing Cutting back plants in baskets followed by feeding can encourage new growth and help revive tired displays.

Cut back delphiniums and geraniums after the first flush of flowers to encourage a second flowering period.

Feed after cutting them back.

Deadhead flower borders regularly to prolong flowering. Disbud and dead-head dahlias if growing for large blooms.

Leave roses that produce attractive hips.

Divide clumps of bearded iris.

Plants with a carpet-like growth habit, e.g. some Alpines, can become patchy, with central areas dying off. These patches can be in-filled with gritty compost, to encourage re-growth.

This Month: Getting Ready For Summer.

Summer is upon us, and lately we have been lucky enough to have had some super warm days, still let’s hope that there are more to come.

Whether you’replanning to take a break at home in the good old UK or head for sunnier climes, there are a variety of ways you can prepare for your holidays, get the most from your beauty regime and at the same time relax, enjoy the time out and feel truly pampered.

Below are 8 top tips for getting ready for the sun and feeling great doing so.

1. Get that summer feeling by getting a spray tan or using one of the many self-tanning products on the market. This uplifts your spirit straight away giving that sunshine glow. Remember that exfoliation is a key essential ahead of any tanning, be it fake or real. Your skin will be left smoother and feel more natural, ideal for capturing that perfect sun-kissed look. Whether you spend 20 minutes getting the salon look or 20 minutes at home in front of your bathroom mirror, this is a sure fire, quick way, to inject some va va voom into your summer look! There are an increasing number of products which contain moisturiser’s and essential oils – thus 38

stopping your skin from drying out.

Remember once you hit the beach to keep topped up regularly on sun protection, in fact integrating sun protection as part of your daily routine; come rain or shine,

will pay dividends later, as it’s an essential anti-aging product 2. Have a mini pedicure. Your feet undergo a lot of wear and tear, and to help keep them in tip-top sunshine condition, try a pumice stone or granules and smooth away any rough areas. Follow that up with a relaxing session with a foot spa and you’ll feel beautifully relaxed and ready for anything. A pedicure can literally leave you feeling like you are walking on air.

Whether you choose a salon service or DIY at home, make time for this special treat. Feet are often sadly overlooked and yet the health of our feet delivers much wellbeing to our overall wellness, ask any reflexologist.

Health, Beauty & Well-being 3. Next stop - hands and nails!

Treat your nails! Make sure you get your nails in shape for your holiday by having a special manicure before you go away. If you’re intending to go barefoot or spend time round the pool, you will be glad you had that pedicure too for the completed look.

There are many types of great nail services now available, whether it’s popping on some nail art to dazzle, or having gel nails to reinforce the nails and maintain that manicured look for two to three weeks. Nail extensions are also Facials are not just a great way of a great way to tidy up short nails and looking better and feeling great, they make hands look beautifully elegant. are also simply enjoyable, so I say just go and indulge.

Pay attention to your eyes – get rid of unwanted hair and make sure your eyebrows shaped and (should you you are in perfect bikini or shorts require) select the perfect fake eyelashcondition ahead of yourholiday.

7. Meditate – Get into that relaxed and calm summer feeling by finding your centre, creating your inner happiness, which will in turn give you an overall relaxed feeling, brightening your smile and bringing you that extra confidence boost.

8. Get active with some toning and stretching exercises classes like Yoga or Pilates. Boost your circulation, strengthen your core, and tone that torso for an overall feeling of well-being as well as rocking a super, beach body!

For a face freshener, chamomile teabags work in a similar easy way, leave them to soak in luke warm water, then strain off the tea and apply to the skin using cotton pads, these work great as a cleanser and also for calming any skin conditions.

After studying Herbalism I can easily agree to the effectiveness of both peppermint as refreshing & cooling and chamomile as calming & soothing, not that I would ever question my super mum in anyway you see! :)

Freebie Tip As my mum is a Reflexologist and an Aromatherapist, as well as super mum!.., I have gleamed many top tips from her and one of her great free tips, (if you can’t get to the salon due to the pennies being a bit tight), is to use a bit of peppermint oil in a luke warm foot soak for an instant freshening and pick me up for the feet. Never apply neat oil to the skin. If you don’t have any oil, peppermint teabags work a treat!

On top of that, they are cheap, readily available, and work a treat!

Herbal teas are also obviously great warm as a drink for relaxing , but also cold with an ice cube for a refreshing, thirst quenching, summer drink.

Most importantly… whatever you do…rock or relax…enjoy the summer!

In August 2011, she was tested and accepted for the GB Rowing ‘Start’ programme based on the anthropometrics, power and physiology that she demonstrated in the selection testing. Her scores on the tests were outstanding for a 14 year old female and demonstrated that Kyra, with the right development, has huge potential in the sport of rowing. This is aided by the fantastic level of motivation and dedication she has shown which have helped her to progress very quickly in a short space of time Kyra’s first race was a national competition, the National Schools’ Regatta, in May 2012. Despite being very new to the sport compared to her rivals, Kyra got through to the final of the Women’s Junior 15 single sculls and finished 6th overall. Unfortunately, Kyra’s racing season in 2012 was cut short due to a back injury and she spent the next 6 months diligently improving her physiology whilst completing her physio exercises and improving her flexibility and core strength.

Since recovering from the back injury, Kyra has trained hard through the autumn and winter 2012/3 and has significantly improved both her fitness levels and her technique on the water.

This led to a great start to the 2013 summer season, with a gold medal in Women’s Junior 18 double sculls at the Ghent International Regatta in April and a 9th place finish in the GB Junior U18 Regatta, despite still being an U16.

Kyra then raced in the single scull at the prestigious National Schools Regatta in May 2013 where she won a silver medal in the U17 category and, the following day, won the championship trophy and gold medal in the U16 event. This was preceded by two wins at Nottingham City Regatta in U18 and U17 single sculls and followed by two wins at Peterborough Regatta in U18 single and double sculls events.

Kyra’s main aim for this year was to represent GB at U16 level by being selected for the GBFrance match in July 2013.Which she was successful at and won her race in a double scull.

Alternatively, Kyra was invited to the GB U 18 final selection trials and may then qualify for the European Junior U18 team.

From the start of the 2014 season Kyra has begun to learn how to sweep, she competed in an eight at eights head with seniors and won the provincial pendant (Non-Thames rowing club).

This added more options to Kyra’s season. She then trialled in sweep for Munich international regatta and was selected to represent Great Britain in a four. The crew came 5th at this regatta to 4 German crews.

Kyra was then back in her single scull for National schools regatta and competed in the Girls U17 single scull and won a Gold Medal and the scullery trophy. After this she is now focusing on making the junior world championships and looking forward to racing at Women’s Henely in the senior quadruple schools after winning the same even at fours head earlier in the season.

I expect that Kyra will be involved in the GB Junior team for the next 1 and half years and will encounter a great deal of expense (likely to be in the region of £2000 pa) to attend training camps, GB trials, regattas and international events. Any support you feel you could offer would help Kyra to cover the expenses of being part of a junior team and ensure her progress is not hampered by financial considerations.

Please do not hesitate to contact me on 07872 397116 if you need any further information.

All pet owners will say that their pets are part of the family, but most of them cannot go to work with them, or go away on some of the family holidays. Most people are worried about leaving animals at home during work hours, especially dogs that need to be walked, fed and fussed.This is where Greg Hopkinson “Trusty Companions” can step in and help. He started his own business called Trusty Companions after he gained important experience working in kennels, on farms, dog walking, and at a rescue farm where he looked after donkeys, pigs, llamas, goats, and ponies etc.

He left Brooksby College after two years study, gaining a Diploma in Animal Care, a Dog Grooming Certificate and Animal First Aid. He also studied wildlife, exotic animals, and farming.

Greg is offering his services to pet owners, he can look after all animals including chickens, snakes, and lizards. He can help with puppy socialisation, dog walking and pet sitting.

He does not “pack walk” with dogs, prefering quality time spent with each dog, ideal for nervous dogs, etc, he says that his customers pay him for his time and should be spent with their dog on it’s own. The idea being that he would get to know the dog on a more Greg and Toby personal level.

Greg has a rescue dog called Toby, who is a Staffy Cross /Old English Sheepdog. (Toby was taken to the Rescue as he was getting too much for his previous owner, who reluctantly had to let him go), Greg was walking around looking for a dog to re-home when Toby caught his attention by “rolling around” each time he walked by, so Toby chose Greg!

Greg says he treats all animals with the same love, care and respect as he does his own. This is re-assuring for any pet owner looking for someone who is reliable and friendly, to look after their pets at home or to walk their dog.

Greg has been CRB checked and has a S1A Licence (Security Guard) for added peace of mind. He is happy to come along and meet for a free consultation.

Curried Chicken & Mango salad Cooking time Prep:20 mins Cook:20 min Easy Serves 2 This lightly-spiced, fruity salad is a modern take on Coronation chicken - a low calorie-lunch for two 6 chicken mini fillets 1 tsp olive oil 2 tsp curry powder 4 tbsp Greek yogurt 2 tbsp mango chutney zest ½ lime and 2 tsp juice 1 Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated 1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced ½ red onion, finely sliced 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

Toss the chicken in the oil and 1 tsp of the curry powder, season and mix well to coat.

Put the chicken on a foil-lined baking tray and bake for 20 mins until cooked through. Leave to cool a little, then slice.

Meanwhile, make the dressing.

In a bowl, combine the remaining curry powder with the yogurt, chutney and lime zest and juice (add 1 tbsp water if the dressing is a little thick).

To serve, arrange the lettuce leaves on 2 plates. Top with the mango and cooked chicken, then drizzle with the dressing. Scatter with the red onion and sesame seeds before serving.

Did you know that Mango is rich in vitamin A. One cup of sliced mango equals 25% intake of your daily need of vitamin A. Mango‛s help in promoting good eye sight, fights dry eyes and also prevent night blindness.

Book Review by Clare Lyons The Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger There are lots of wonderful books out there, but it is only a special story that can be re-read many times, most people have a firm favourite they like to revisit from time to time and I would encourage adding the Time Travellers Wife to your list. Although I’m not a fan of Niffenegger generally, there is something so unique and magical about the tale of Henry and Clare and their battle for a life together that even when you know the ending, you can read it again and find more to enjoy.

The couple first meet when Clare is just six, and Henry much older – but Henry has a rare condition that means he unexpectedly travels in time. There are other books looking at time travel in which exciting adventures occur, or dramatic changes to our future but this is a surprisingly subtle story really only concentrating on the impact on the main protagonists. It is in parts heart-breaking, and in others quite funny, but worth a look or a re-visit over the Summer?There is a reasonable film adaption with the same title, but it’s no replacement for the depth of the book. If you enjoy a bit of time travel you might also enjoy Making History by Stephen Fry. Children’s Choice Big Bad Owl by Steve Smallman & Richard Watson It’s unusual to find a childrens book with an unlikable main character, but the Big Bad Owl is extremely grumpy to everyone, and generally not that nice. What’s good about the book is that we all have off days and it’s a great way to allow children to think about how we behave to others when we are in bad moods, and also to acknowledge that being in a bad mood sometimes is ok. The characters in the book learn to identify signs that Owl is in a bad mood, and to allow him to be on his own if he wants and to have ‘space’ – something we often don’t allow children to do.

The idea of a grumpy tree that you can go and sit in certainly sounded useful for both parents and children in our house… www.letyourselfgrow.org 64
