Smalltalk

It’s the same great magazine..... With the sound of the letterbox flapping and the thud on your door mat, the Big Voice is back and with a fab new look! What do you think? I’m so proud to have continued my work ‘online’ over the last two months, supporting local businesses and providing a community link but it feels great to be back in print! For everyone it’s been the strangest of 3 months. One thing I’ve realised from talking to friends and family is that despite us all operating under the same rules, everyone’s experience has been so incredibly different. As I wrote about in last month’s ‘digital’ edition, we’ve focused hard on the opportunity to have more time as a family and to enjoy each other’s company. I know that won’t be the same for everyone, particularly those readers who live alone and have been asked to shield themselves. My heart goes out to you and I hope that when a vaccine is available, you’re first in the queue! One of the positives I’ve noticed is the pace of life changing and an appreciation for being outdoors on daily exercise. We’ve had some lovely moments, such as teaching our youngest to ride his bike (he is now throwing himself down hills for thrills and it’s terrifying!), paddle-boarding afternoons with the kids (a great activity for social distancing) and my personal favourite of early morning runs. I’ve even noticed an early morning Yoga group at Stokes Bay which looked amazing and I would love to be able to tell people more about that if anyone can provide some info! Bringing back the magazine has been really exciting and advertisers have been keen to get their business back out there. We will all have relied on local trades and shops over the last few months, please continue to support them and of course mention the mag when you give them a call.

Recipe of the month

‘Gin & Tonic with a slice of Lemon’ Drizzle Cake Perfect for a summer afternoon tea

Ingredients 3 large eggs (beaten), 240g butter at room temperature, 240g caster sugar, 240g self-raising flour, 2 large lemons, 200ml gin, 25ml tonic water (optional – elderflower is particularly nice), 130g granulated sugar Method Line a 1Kg loaf tin Preheat oven to 180C / Gas Mark 4. Cream the softened butter and caster sugar together until light. Add the eggs a little at a time and beat until combined. Carefully fold in the flour and the finely grated zest of both lemons. Add the juice of 1 lemon and 100ml of gin, then pour into the lined tin. Bake in the centre of the oven for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly in the tin while you make the drizzle. Combine the rest of the gin, the granulated sugar, tonic water (if using) and juice of 1 lemon in a bowl. Puncture the surface of the cake all over with a skewer, then pour the drizzle over Don’t remove the cake from the tin until it’s cold and the sugary topping has crystallised. Serve with crème fraiche and a G&T…of course.

Mum’s the word

SUMMER READING CHALLENGE

Brought to you by ‘The Reading Agency’ the ‘Summer Reading Challenge’ encourages children aged 4-11 to set themselves a reading challenge to help prevent the summer reading ‘dip’. Never has such support been needed more than during the current lockdown. This year the ‘Silly Squad’ and the Summer Reading Challenge will celebrate funny books, happiness and laughter. Children taking part will join the Silly Squad, an adventurous team of animals who love to have a laugh and get stuck in all different kinds of funny books! The campaign will promote a new digital platform to reach children across the nation. With lots of children already at home the challenge will run from June to September this year and you can join anytime! 1. Join the Silly Squad and pick an avatar 2. Discover some awesome books to read 3. Play games earn points and more 4. Unlock badges throughout the challenge Sign up at www.sillysquad.org.uk

One thing we can certainly be grateful for during lockdown is the sun! Each year, about this time, I like to include some information about being ‘sun safe’. Children’s skin is much more sensitive to the sun than adults, so don’t assume they can handle the summer in the same way! The top tips from the NHS are: Children aged under 6 months should be kept out of direct strong sunlight. • Spend time in the shade, particularly from 11am to 3pm • Make sure you never burn • Cover up with suitable clothing, a hat and sunglasses • Use a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 • Apply sunscreen to areas not protected by clothing. • If swimming, use a waterresistant sunscreen and reapply after you have been in the water. 12

Did you know…….when you buy sunscreen containing UVA protection you may notice a UVA star rating. The stars range from 0 to 5 and indicate the percentage of UVA radiation absorbed by the sunscreen in comparison to UVB, in other words the ratio between the level of protection afforded by the UVA protection and the UVB protection. Be aware that if you choose a low SPF it may still have a high level of stars, not because it is providing lots of UVA protection, but because the ratio between the UVA and UVB protection is about the same. That’s why it’s important to choose a high SPF as well as a high UVA protection. A sunscreen with an SPF of 30 and a UVA rating of 4 or 5 stars is generally considered as a good standard of sun protection in addition to shade and clothing.

St Mary’s Church

During lockdown Stoke Lake has been so very still, allowing fish, anemones, oysters, birds and flora to breathe. The church has just celebrated Pentecost and the 300 who join our now ‘online’ Sunday Service sang ‘Breathe on me breath of God, fill me with life anew’. As lockdown is eased, may the new life continue to breathe into the natural environment, as well as into our lives. The creek certainly had a breather, well at least until half term and the easing of outdoor restrictions. Soon after there was an explosion of activity on Stoke Lake, as seen in the photo. Stokes Bay Beach has been very popular as many find it such a relief to get outdoors again! In Alverstoke, we are privileged with both the creek and the beach and it is wonderful to see people enjoying them, swimming in the sea and having fun in their canoes and on stand-up paddleboards once again.

May a prayer for our community and environment be two fold as the silence ends and lockdown is eased: First - God, we place into your hands those for whom easing of lockdown makes them more vulnerable and where family or group pressures mean that they ‘join in’ even if they feel uncomfortable and fearful. Second - God, we place into your hands the wildlife and environment which has had a ‘breather’ from us, may we ever respect the creation and live ‘greener’ and more balanced lives as we emerge from lockdown. Keep safe, and may this new beginning give our community a chance to ‘breathe’ and be filled with life anew. Revd Andrew Norris Rector for Alverstoke Parish www.stmarysalverstoke.org.uk

Home Focus

Essentials Whilst it’s lovely to be able to order beautiful accessories online and even now to ‘socially distance’ ourselves in some of the retailers who have opened their doors once again, there are some fundamentals which we need for our homes that should be non-negotiables for a safe and environmentally conscious life. 1. Fire and smoke alarms. This is a big topic and not one which we are experienced enough to cover fully but for peace of mind ensure that you have a robust alarm system installed in your house that is ideally wired to the mains but at worse has batteries that you TEST REGULARLY. An early warning system could be the difference literally between life and death and it’s worth looking at escape routes and checking locks and windows etc should the worst happen. It’s certainly not something we really want to think too much about but you’ll feel better knowing that you are prepared. Consider also charging all your electrical items downstairs and never in the bedroom and making sure that doors are shut before you go to bed at night. 2. A decent doorbell and letterbox. Ok this might sound like a strange one but have you ever actually tested either of these items from the perspective of a visitor or a postman? Many letterboxes are either incredibly stiff or badly situated making the posting of mail rather tricky—letters can get squashed just by trying to insert them through the flap and hands can be scratched by over-enthusiastic letterboxes trying to slam themselves shut! In terms of doorbells, take a look at the location of yours. Is it clearly visible? Can you hear it from both up and downstairs? Have you considered getting an online doorbell so that you can ‘answer’ your door even if you’re out? The technology nowadays is such that you can view the visitors via a camera and even instruct them where to leave parcels etc should you be expecting a delivery. This gives the illusion that you may be at home and ensures that from a security point of

view you don’t have to leave a scrappy note sellotaped to your door indicating that you are not there. 3. Energy saving lightbulbs. It’s very tempting to not purchase these because the initial outlay is much more expensive than the halogen, or incandescent bulbs. But purchasing the LED or CFL options will give you between an 80-90% energy saving and by choosing the LED options a 25 year lifespan with 10 years promised for the CFL bulbs. Given that you make a 30% energy saving on halogen you can do your calculations based on a 2 year lifespan and see how much you actually save over the longer term if you opt for the more expensive versions. 4. Thermostat There are different brands available but if you look at Nest or Hive you will see what this topic is all about. These are more than just thermostats because they learn based on activity in the house and therefore know when to switch on and off. It makes it easier to save money on heating by learning and adapting to our schedules automatically. You can control the thermostat from your phone meaning that you can switch on the hot water or heating in advance of coming home, or simply adjust the temperature of the house without getting up. This makes it ideal for assisted or disabled living homes too. The units have the ability to be ‘zoned’ which makes it useful for bigger properties where you may not want to put the heating on upstairs during the day etc. Again these units are generally reasonably priced and worth having fitted as you can keep an eye on energy usage from the associated app. These ideas may seem reasonably insignificant but all together they add up to a generous number of switches that will save you money and be more efficient.

Keep on running

Running for sanity A warm welcome back to the Big Voice Directory! Will life ever be normal again? At least not until we forget what normal ever was. There will always be certain things that serve as a reminder of what life was like before. One thing is certain, since we were all asked to stay at home apart from a ‘period’ of exercise, so many more of us have found running as a way of staying in shape, not only physically but mentally. I have been fortunate in that I have continued working. On my daily commute to and from work I have noticed that more and more of us have taken to pounding the streets and parks. What I find particularly pleasing is the number of families doing it and I really do hope that everyone has enjoyed the enforced time together. Organised running clubs and groups have improvised to keep their members motivated and engaged with lots of innovative virtual training runs that have made running solo fun. So, are you new to running or enjoying a return to an old past time? Have you found running solo more fun or have you missed running in company? Have you made new running friends online?

I expect the 545 RunClub and The Breakfast Club will seem odd when we eventually join to run as a group once again. I’m looking forward to seeing my running friends socially and personally I feel lucky that this enforced period of isolation has coincided with me being injured. Hopefully, by the time I am able to return to running there will be a relaxation of the rules and we will feel happy that it’s safe to meet in groups again. A question I have asked myself is, can the High Street recover from lockdown? Will you venture to a retailer for that more personal experience and advice? Share your thoughts with us all at cartscartergosvegas@ gmail.com. Who knows, if we are really lucky we may even see you at an organised event before the end of 2020. Stay safe.

Still supporting your loved ones throughout the pandemic During the past few months, it has been more important than ever for Bluebird Care to support our customers in their own homes. Many customers have really felt the impact of not having regular visits from relatives or not being able to go out on their usual shopping trips and connecting with the outside world. We have followed government guidelines very strictly throughout subsequent weeks to ensure customer safety and have battled the PPE shortages with great success to allow the safe continuity of our service. Our fantastic care team have been an absolute lifeline to our customers, not only providing our usual high standard of care but also paying close attention to their mental wellbeing. Having someone pop in, make you a cup of tea and sit down for a chat has never been so important, as well as assisting customers to use technology to contact loved ones or reporting back to families about their wellbeing.

right up to several visits per day for varying lengths of time to suit individual need, we also offer a live-in service. With customers wanting to stay in their own homes more and more, a very popular service is to have a live-in carer, where support can be provided all through the day and night. This has such a positive impact on people’s wellbeing as they are never alone. The house becomes a well looked after and comforting environment and can impact the whole family’s lives for the better. If you would like more information on the services we offer, please visit our website: bluebirdcare. co.uk/Gosport or call our office on 02393 233922

If you have been supporting a loved one at this time and are going back to work or perhaps your loved one feels that now is a good time to reduce the amount they are going out, Bluebird Care can help. We assist our customers with a range of tasks including personal care, meal preparation, housework, companionship and social support, medication administration and prompting and always focus on promoting independence in the home. As well as care visits that start from 30 minutes once per week,
