Keep fit n e d r a g e h t n i

By Hannah Stephenson

RAKING LEAVES, DIGGING, WEEDING AND MOVING SHRUBS CAN ALL BE DONE AT THIS TIME OF YEAR AND WILL HELP YOU TONE UP.

Balancing on one foot while gardening, whether you are trimming a hedge or sowing seeds in the greenhouse, also promotes strength and confidence and keeps the nervous system in good condition, he says.

Set yourself a 30-second time limit to start and, as you progress, increase that and maybe even close your eyes, which makes balancing harder, he suggests.

Gardening can help the cardiovascular system, reduces the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity and other medical conditions as well as burning calories, according to US research.

Raking and forking helps strengthen arms and shoulders and tones the abdominal muscles, while digging and bending (from the knees, keeping the back straight) to move or lift plants or pots can help tone thighs and buttocks.

"The thing to keep in mind is always to try to do things to your maximum range of movements," says Colin Holding, head coach of Wildfitness (www.wildfitness.com), a company which runs transformative fitness holidays.

He says sitting down is the worst position for the human body, adversely affecting posture and the digestive system and that our natural sitting 񡑁 Half an hour's digging can use up 250 calories, position is in fact a full squat. weeding will burn 105 calories, raking 100 calories Weeding beds and borders gives the legs, hips and buttocks a good workout if and mowing the lawn 195, so those garden chores you squat while you weed.

GARDENING Many gardeners worry that too much lifting in the garden will damage their backs. Obviously, if you are attempting to move a really heavy object, ask for help.

Tasty Thyme

"You need to keep an 'S'-shaped spine position when lifting, sweeping or raking, changing sides regularly. Stand with your back against a wall, with your head, shoulder blades, heels and the base of your back (coccyx) also touching the wall. That will give you an idea of the 'S' spine position.

Thyme is one of those herbs that is enjoyed as much for its ornamental value as it is for its intense flavour - but there are a lot of different varieties, some of which aren't for eating, so make sure you choose the right type for you.

Thyme likes dry, poor, well-drained soil and lots of sun.

If you have heavy soil you'll have to add a good amount of grit to have success.

Plant in late spring or early summer, after the last frosts have passed as it needs time to settle in before enduring its first winter outside.

Upright varieties should be spaced around 9in (23cm) apart, while spreading types need to be 12in (30cm) apart. They need watering in dry spells while they are becoming established but after that no watering is necessary.

The best known type is Thymus vulgaris, garden thyme, which produces deep mauve-pink flowers in June and July. Lemon thyme (Thymus x citriodorus) is good for pots, while T. x citriodorus 'Bertram Anderson', a spreading variety, has gold-variegated leaves and mauve-pink flowers and can be used as both an ornamental and edible plant. Young shoots can be cut off from the tip of the stems for cooking.

"Keep your shoulders back and look at the horizon, not downwards, when you squat, to hold the position," says Domoney.

Work at a steady, constant speed to keep heart rate up at a set level and don't do too much of one thing three hours' digging is likely to result in a lot of aches and pains.

Change positions regularly to move from pruning to weeding or try to alternate which hands you use.

Do the less strenuous gardening chores such as tidying up or a little light pruning to warm up and get the muscles moving and the same when you cool down, he advises. If you tire halfway through, take a break.

"Listen to your body.

Don't wear yourself out because that's mainly when you'll injure yourself," he adds. 񡑁񡑂񡑃񡑄񡑅񡑆񡑅񡑇񡑂񡑃񡑃񡑇񡑈񡑅񡑈񡑉񡑉񡑐񡑑񡑃񡑅 񡑃񡑒񡑐񡑅񡑐񡑑񡑅񡑃񡑄񡑑񡑈񡑈񡑅񡑃񡑂񡑓񡑈񡑔񡑅 񡑆񡑅񡑒񡑈񡑈񡑕񡑅񡑂񡑖񡑅񡑃񡑄񡑈񡑅 񡑗񡑆񡑑񡑘񡑈񡑖񡑙񡑅񡑠񡑐񡑡񡑢񡑇񡑇񡑅񡑔񡑐񡑐񡑖񡑅 񡑉񡑈񡑈񡑇񡑅񡑉񡑂񡑃񡑃񡑈񡑑񡑅񡑆񡑖񡑘񡑅񡑄񡑆񡑣񡑈񡑅 񡑆񡑅񡑗񡑆񡑑񡑘񡑈񡑖񡑅񡑃񡑐񡑅񡑤񡑈񡑅 񡑥񡑑񡑐񡑡񡑘񡑅񡑐񡑉񡑦񡑅

Control earwigs 1. Fill upturned flowerpots with straw or shredded paper and place them on top of canes close to vulnerable plants. These will trap them.

Check the pots daily.

2. Check out dark places where they may hide during the day and dispose of those you see.

3. Set beer traps, digging a shallow depression in the soil for a small saucer so that the edge of the saucer is level with the soil surface.

Pour in about half an inch of beer and empty the saucer daily, re-filling it with fresh beer.

You can get a real buzz from skimming across the water on a warm, breezy, summer’s day, and although most people enjoy the sensation of being on a boat, many also imagine the sport is restricted to the wealthy. However, dinghy sailing is much more accessible than people would think.

Here at ASC we pride ourselves on providing a range of opportunities to be out on the water. For those that are competitive, there are several race series throughout the year. Races take place every Sunday, and also Wednesday evening during spring, summer and

autumn. There is also the opportunity to take part in inter.club racing with other local sailing clubs. If you don’t want to compete, you can also take a boat out for relaxing cruising, and this is supported on Friday evening (between April and October), Saturday and Sunday. Everyone is welcome, from complete beginners, to ultra.competitive experts, from juniors to the more ma. ture. If you have never sailed before, ASC o/ers training courses to RYA level 2 standard, so you would be com. petent to sail in reasonable condi. tions.

But of course, the best way to learn is to spend time out on the water, have fun, and discuss sailing with other members. You would be o/ered plenty of help and support, in. cluding advice on sailing techniques, how to choose your ,rst dinghy, and how to make the most of the club facili. ties.

A wide range of dinghy classes are sailed at the club, for both racing and cruising, and we have club boats available to suit all age groups that can be used by new members.

Sailing is a wonderful blend of art and science, skill and feel, fun and challenge.

In working with the natural elements, every outing is a di/erent experience. If you have been tempted to try dinghy sailing in the past, but have been con.

cerned about taking that ,rst step, then come along to Attenborough Sailing Club – it’s a fantastic way to enjoy the great outdoors.

to treat 񡑃 your mother...

From a mini-break to a date, showing your mother you love her is easy this year with this guide to the perfect gift.

Mother’s day is all about showing your mother just how much you love and appreciate her and thanking her as best you can for the many years she has spent nurturing and looking after you.

The origins of the day are not certain, in Britain we celebrate it on the Christian date of Mothering Sunday, the worship of the ‘Mother’ church and of the Virgin Mary. There are also suggestions that the day has roots in the Ancient Greek festival in honour of Cybele, a mother of Greeks gods.

The Romans also had a celebration called Matronalia that was dedicated to Juno but mothers were also presented with gifts on the day.

Wherever the tradition stems from it’s a great excuse to give your mother a well-deserved treat so read on to discover 15 ways to treat your mum.

Pampering What better way for your mother to truly relax this mother’s day than a day at a spa? Why not go with her, treat yourself too and make a day of indulging in heavenly massages, treatments and steam rooms.

Day out Does your mother enjoy bracing walks in the countryside? Get some friends and family together, park up in a country pub and plot a circular walk.

End your walk with a hearty meal in front of a roaring log fire.

Meal Give your mum a break from cooking for a night and book a restaurant meal for all the family. She will love having her children around her, especially if it doesn’t involve slaving over a hot stove all day in preparation.

Mini-break If you really want to show your mother how special she is, book a weekend getaway. Take her for a cultural tour of Paris, or warming weekend in Barcelona and get some shopping in while you’re there.

Cleaning service What is your mother’s least favourite activity? Ironing? Cleaning?

Vacuuming the carpets? Why not get some hired help in for her one day, or more if you can afford it, as an extra special mother’s day surprise.

Theatre/musical Is your mother mad about musicals or a theatre buff? You could make a day of it and book tickets to see her favourite show then take her out to supper.

Chocolates Chocolates are a sure way to win your mother’s heart – get her a luxury selection she can enjoy with a bottle of wine and a good film.

Accessories A pair of earrings or a string of pearls; mothers can’t have enough jewels and they provide the perfect way to create a new look without the need for a whole new wardrobe.

Flowers A bouquet may seem like an obvious choice but if you choose her favourite flowers, or an elegant pot plant for the house she will be delighted.

Afternoon tea The English preserve of taking tea is a delightfully civilised way to enjoy a good old chinwag – so take her to a tea house and spend a peaceful afternoon catching up.

Helicopter or hot air balloon ride For a once in a lifetime experience, get mother a voucher for a helicopter tour of our regional countryside. It will allow her to take in the spectacular scenery in a way she has never seen it before.

A bottle of her favourite tipple Sherry is my mother’s favourite but a good bottle of bubbly is sure to go down equally well.

Makeover The years may have been kind to your mother but she’s so busy looking after other people she forgets to look after herself. Book her in for a makeover and remind her of how beautiful she still is.

A new man If your mother is on the market why not set her up on a blind date. If you don’t know any adequate suitors, enlist the help of a dating agency and help her find love this year.

Colour analysis Help her discover which colours suit her and revolutionise her current look.

A colour analyst will test different colour fabrics against your skin to find out which colours suit your skin tone.

You will fit into one of eight bands: cool or warm spring, summer, autumn or winter. As a ‘warm spring’, for example, you are best in colours with a warm honey base – avoiding ‘cool’ shades like bright red or black.

Time to Love Lamb

For fans of tradition, now is the time to order your spring lamb for Easter. At this time of year, lamb meat is succulent and subtle in flavour, making it the perfect centrepiece for a celebration.

So put your wintry roast recipes away and adopt an understated, gentle approach to Sunday lunch.

Here are three Easter recipes that will make the most of your spring lamb, and dazzle friends and family.

Noisettes of lamb with anchovy, mint and lime marinade (Serves 2)

Top tip:

This recipe works well with lamb chops or cutlets too.

4 lean lamb noisettes 2tbsp oil For the marinade: Salt and freshly milled black pepper 2tbsp freshly chopped mint 1tbsp sherry vinegar 2 anchovy fillets, drained and finely chopped 1tbsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard 2tbsp olive oil Juice of half a lime 1-2tbsp runny honey, optional For the pan-fried asparagus: 1tbsp olive oil 400g asparagus, trimmed and lightly steamed For the sherry dressing: 50ml sherry vinegar 1tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1tsp caster sugar Salt and freshly milled black pepper

To prepare the marinade, place all the ingredients into a large shallow dish and mix well. Place the noisettes in the marinade mixture and coat on both sides. Cover and refrigerate for up to two hours.

To prepare the pan-fried asparagus, heat a large non-stick griddle or frying pan, coat the asparagus in the olive oil and cook for five to eight minutes, turning occasionally until tender, drain, transfer to a large

34

serving plate and keep warm. Heat the oil for the noisettes in a clean nonstick griddle or frying pan until hot. Add the lamb and cook for four to six minutes on each side over a moderate heat until cooked.

To make the dressing, place all the ingredients into a small bowl, whisk until combined and spoon over the asparagus.

Serve the noisettes with creamy mash potatoes and the asparagus.

Place the steaks on a chopping board and season on both sides with the salt, pepper and Chinese fivespice powder. Place the salad ingredients into a large bowl, season and drizzle with the olive oil. In a small bowl, mix together the sweet chilli sauce and plum or damson jam. Heat the sunflower oil in a large, nonstick wok or frying pan. Add the lamb and cook for four

to six minutes on each side until cooked. Halfway through cooking, add the sesame seeds. Remove the lamb from the pan, transfer to a plate to rest for two to three minutes, then slice into strips. Arrange the warmed noodles on a serving plate and add the salad, then arrange the lamb on top. Spoon over the sweet chilli dressing and serve immediately.

Paprika and Parmesan lamb with spring salsa (Serves 4) 2 lamb rump mini joints (weighing 225-250g) or 4 boneless leg steaks Salt and freshly milled black pepper 2tsp smoked paprika 50g butter 1tbsp oil 50g fresh breadcrumbs (not dried) 1tsp dried chilli flakes 1tbsp Parmesan or Pecorino cheese, grated 1-2tsp Dijon mustard For the spring salsa: ¼ cucumber, peeled and diced 1 small red pepper, cored, deseeded and finely chopped 2 spring onions, finely chopped 1 stick celery, finely chopped 2tbsp freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley 2-3tbsp extra virgin rapeseed or olive oil 2tsp lemon juice Preheat the oven to 220C/Gas mark 7.

On a large plate, mix the salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Dust the lamb on both sides with the seasoning mix.

a large plate, mix together the breadcrumbs, chilli flakes and cheese.

Brush the mustard over the top of each lamb portion, then top with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down firmly. Brush the melted butter over the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a small roasting tray and open roast for up to 10 minutes (for medium) until the

35

breadcrumbs are crispy. If using the mini joints, leave to rest for up to 10 minutes as well. Meanwhile, prepare the spring salsa by mixing all the ingredients together in a medium-sized bowl and seasoning. Serve the lamb (sliced if using mini joints) with new potatoes and the spring salsa. www.eatwelshlamb.co.uk for more lamb recipes

Book Review by Claire Lyons Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

As the month of romance comes and goes, it’s always nice to read an old favourite and rekindle a love of reading and you can’t go too wrong with the classics – my pick would be Jane Eyre. It’s a darkly brooding book with complex characters and although ultimately has a happy (ish) ending, there are many sad and perilous events right from the beginning. The book follows the life of Jane, an orphan put into a children’s home by her unpleas. ant Aunt – it really never gets much better until she is ,nally able to secure a position as a Governess – and then the disastrous romance begins. The strong elegance of Mr Rochester is hard to resist, but nothing is simple and there are many twists and turns before true love can conquer all. The book isn’t too sickly sweet and the characters are Uawed and human, the storyline moves quickly and the outcomes are not too obvious.

There are many ,lm and tv adaptations, but the original story is still well worth a read.

For those who may be intrigued by the wider story you might enjoy The Wide Sargasso Sea, which is a prequel looking at the young life of Mr Rochester and how he becomes embroiled with the ‘other woman’ in the story.

Children’s Choice The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

We shouldn’t forget that many of the children’s classics are also available in a range of age appropriate formats, Usborne are best known for creating ‘retold’ versions of the classics for di/erent ages and they are often on o/er with the online book shops, we are currently reading The Secret Garden, retold for toddlers by Susanna Davidson. The illustrations are like watercolours, and quite di/erent from other children’s books, but this goes with the story which is a little dated. It raises lots of questions about illness, family and even death which have been useful to tackle in this small way. It’s a great happy ending, and hopefully we will read it again in its next reincarnation and again in the original form, creating a lifelong love of great literature… at least that’s the plan. www.letyourselfgrow.org

The Award aims to encourage recognition of enlightened restoration of vernacular architecture using traditional materials and craftspeople, or of new building which blends sympathetically into an existing area of heritage value. It was initiated as a memorial to Harry Johnson, one of the county's outstanding architects, a passionate advocate for Nottinghamshire's built heritage, and an energetic supporter of CPRE and the NBPT. The Award certi,cates are highly prized.

We hope your readers may wish to commend buildings of which, quite possibly, very few people are aware. To avoid embarrassment, it is essential to obtain the support of the building's owners before proposing the project, which must have been completed within the three years prior to the entry deadline. A very modest entry fee of £15 helps to defray the cost of administration.

Nomination forms are available from the NBPT office, and can be requested by telephone, e.mail or post (see details below). They are also available on the NBPT website . www.nbpt.co.uk.

In the past, domestic buildings have dominated the Awards list, but in 2012, winners of the two categories were The Old Pumphouse, The Ropewalk, Nottingham and Healy's Wharf in Newark. Highly commended was The Bramcote Old Church Tower.

Now that this lovely stuff is back in our lives in the run up to Easter, what's the best way to cook with it?

Here are some recipes that you can try

Chocolate puds

with warm chocolate sauce 100g golden caster sugar 2 eggs 125g softened butter 40g ground almonds 40g cocoa 85g self raising flour sifted together with & ½tsp baking powder 100g dark chocolate melted with 170ml double cream to make a sauce Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.

Mix the flour, cocoa and almonds. Cream the butter and sugar, then add the eggs and flour mix, plus 1 tbsp water.

Fold everything together. Spoon into 6 150ml pudding moulds, put in a roasting tin with 1 cm boiling water, cover the lot with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes or until risen and cooked through. Serve with the warm sauce.

Really easy

chocolate mousse 75g dark chocolate, chopped then melted (use a standard dark chocolate for this rather than a high cocoa one as it combines better) 2 eggs, separated 25g butter, melted 1tbsp Tia Maria (optional) 2tbsp golden caster sugar To melt chocolate put it in a heatproof bowl sitting over (not in) a pan of gently simmering water or in short 10-second blasts in the microwave. Mix the chocolate with the egg yolks and butter. Whisk the egg whites and then whisk in the sugar until the mixture is shiny and stiff. Fold the two mixtures together along with the Tia Maria, if using.

Divide between 4 glasses and chill until set.

Little Grapevine Tips Garden ID Tags Take old or unneeded Venetian blind slats and cut them into 8-inch strips. Cut a point on one end for pushing into the dirt.

These are rigid, waterproof and great for writing the name of each particular flower or vegetables on.

Tree Trimming in the Spring Don't trim trees in the budding season (late March or early April) because it adds additional trauma to the tree.

Help Holding small nails—Ever find it near impossible to hold onto small nails when hanging items or tacking down a panel? Here's a quick tip that makes the job easy. Place the nail in the teeth of a comb. Position the comb where you want the nail to be and make the initial tap with your hammer. Once the nail is set you can slide the comb away and your nail is ready to be tapped into place.
