W
elcome summer, we have been waiting for you......
Month six and nearly half way through the year. What do we have to look forward to this month? Well for a start June contains the longest day of the year, which must mean it’s the official start of summer. Summer means strawberries and not just any strawberries but the delicious, super sweet British kind and what’s more you can pick them yourself! Holidays, barbecues, Pimm’s, fish suppers & ice creams on the beach, the list is endless! Adding to the list of outdoor summer activities for us this year is geocaching! Our friends introduced us to it and it’s a really fun way to enjoy some family time out and about. For those of you that don’t know what it is, turn to Mum’s the Word on page 12 to find out how to get involved! All these opportunities to get outdoors couldn’t have come soon enough. We are deep into the bathroom project I mentioned last month and what could have been a simple lick of paint and some new towels, has turned into new electric’s, re-plastering and a skylight since Simon got heavily involved! Only another 10 days to go….please get me out of here! Finally, did you know that June is also National Smile Month. What better reason do you need to pop a happy face on? Smiling has so many benefits. It lowers stress, improves your mood, makes you more approachable, boosts your immune system, it’s free and smiles are contagious! So, whatever you are doing this month make sure you do it with a smile, as Marilyn Monroe said, ‘A smile is the best make up a girl can wear’

My Month as a Mum In the last month I have discovered another great activity that you can do with the family. It’s perfect for the summer time, so I just had to share it with you. Have you heard of geocaching? I hadn’t, but when our close friends suggested it and explained what it was all about, I couldn’t wait to try it with the children. Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunt game using GPS-enabled devices. Basically, you navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at the location. There are millions of these hidden all over the world and 4,327 in Gosport alone!! There might be one near you right now. Sometimes they are hard to find, you may need to hunt in bushes or up trees but if you persevere it is worth it. The children (and adults) got so excited when we located them! To get started just download the geocaching app and create a free account.

Crofton Parish
‘BE WELL’ If I were to ask you whether you or someone close to you struggles with poor mental or emotional health, I suspect many of us would say ‘Yes’. It used to be that 1 in 4 people suffered poor mental health in their lifetimes, today it is more like 1 in 4 every year. That means all of us will know someone who is struggling with their wellbeing.
Through May and June at Holy Rood Church, we are looking at wellbeing and mental health in a series entitled ‘Be Well’. Our mental health can shape our lives for better or worse as much as our physical health. So, it’s an important topic to deal with in the context of having a meaningful relationship with God. If you read any one of the Four Gospels, you will be struck by how much time Jesus spends helping and healing people. That this was important to Jesus tells us how much God cares for each one of us. Jesus left people better off than when he found them. But in order to have a conversation about our mental and emotional health, we have to recognise that many of us carry wounds and scars. Being honest about our struggles is often the first step to finding help and learning how to manage or improve our situations. There can be many causes for poor mental health. Something in our brain chemistry, our family history or some other reason could
be why we struggle. Whatever the causes may be, opening up to ourselves, to others and to God about our struggles is often the single most important thing we can do. As we see increasing rates of poor mental health, we have to recognise that modern society leads us into patterns of thought and behaviour that can be toxic to our wellbeing. Many of us, especially younger adults, feel more isolated and purposeless. We struggle to translate the hopes of our youth into the realities of the adult world. The psychiatrist Oliver James coined the term Affluenza to describe the epidemic of poor mental health in wealthy, Western countries. So, thinking about how to ‘Be Well’ will also involve looking at our patterns of behaviour and asking if there are simple things we can each do that may make a huge difference to our wellbeing. I believe that churches have a unique role to play in talking about these issues. Hundreds of people find a loving, supportive community in Crofton Parish, at Holy Rood or St Edmund’s churches. As we worship and pray together, we are reminded
that we’re not alone on the journey. In Jesus, God gives us his love, companionship and help in the struggles of life. All we have to do is say ‘yes’ to him. That alone can make an extraordinary difference in what it means to ‘Be Well’.

Home Focus
HOME FOCUS Dressed up to the nines Styling up our homes has never been such a big part of our lives in recent times so it makes sense to look at how we display one of our most often used items - our clothes. We used to relegate them to a standard double wardrobe and hope that everything would fit with a shove and a squeeze, and then the surplus would have to be stowed in the under-bed drawers. But now, with such an array of affordable, and flexible, storage options open to us, anything is possible. Creating a beautiful dressing area shouldn’t be too difficult if you plan it beforehand. Have a look at what clothes, bags, shoes and boots need to be put away. Consider which ones you’d like to display. After all, if you have any investment pieces such as designer handbags or purses, it makes sense to use them as room décor as well. If you have loft space, rotate your pieces by season and vacuum pack what you don’t need. This should save a good deal on space required, allowing the clothes on hangers and in drawers room to fall and sit nicely.
If your children have flown the nest, or you are lucky enough to have a spare room, consider turning it into a dedicated dressing room. You don’t need to pack everything into a master bedroom and it’s far nicer having your clothes and cosmetic products laid out so that you can easily see what you have. It makes getting ready in the mornings a quicker, and more pleasurable experience, as well as using the space in your home more economically. After all, a dressing room will get used at least once a day. A spare room, on average, gets used a couple of times a year.
But think about what you want to hang before you purchase. Wooden ones take up more space but are generally long lasting and cope well with heavier items such as jeans or suits. Velvet covered metal ones are light weight and a good option for hanging items which have a tendency to slip off. Plastic ones can be colourful but perhaps it’s better to look for alternatives to reduce our dependency on this material? If you decide to go for a ‘store’ look in your dressing room, you will probably opt to have door-less cupboards. Only go for this if you know you can keep the contents inside tidy! Grouping your clothes together by type, and then by colour is a pleasing, and logical way to organise your collection and will also look neat in the room.
When you are planning your dressing room make sure to think through the aesthetics of the look you are going for. Simple, white units, whether they have doors on or not, create an illusion of more space and if you Making the most of any nooks and crannies is want to add to the units over time then it’s also handy when storing shoes and bags— easier to do this, particularly from stores such you can fit a few smaller items into corners as Ikea. where normal furniture perhaps wouldn’t fit. Treat yourself to some new hangers. A set of Consider using a stylish travel case to hold bikinis etc that can sit in the corner as a piece matching ones looks far better than misof furniture and double up as a storage unit. matched wooden, metal and plastic ones.

Watering and Wellies
NURTURING NATURE How to encourage wildlife into your
garden, and keep them there.
When there is an absence of nature, our souls will struggle and the land will feel like a sad place. But when the birds fly in, singing their happy songs, and the bees can pollinate the flowers, I guarantee you’ll start to find a connection that many of us have lost. A garden doesn’t just have to be about plants. It’s totally OK to grow a wilderness or cottage style garden if it suits you. Or a manicured, Italian style space can also work well. Whatever your choice, there are things you can do to make sure that you encourage ittle birds and animals into our open spaces once again. It’s not hard to do either. Remember that looking after a garden should be a journey. Every gardener worth his salt knows a garden is never finished and encouraging in wildlife is a similar thing. But with a few tweaks and additions, you can create a beautiful haven for our feathered and furry friends. If you build it, they really will come. So let’s get started. HEDGEHOG HOSTELS Sadly, hedgehogs are struggling with less than 1 million left now in the United Kingdom. But we can make a big difference to save these little animals. If you have neighbours then that’s where your efforts will be rewarded. Hedgehogs need to be able to roam far and wide in search of food, mates and nesting areas so if green spaces are linked together, hedgehogs can survive. They only need a 13cm square hole to get through, so create this between your fences to allow them a tunnel to go from garden to garden. Add log and leaf piles for them to hibernate in and
attract them to your garden by keeping your these little birds instead. The RSPB website garden diverse with a wide variety of habitats has useful tips on nesting boxes.

Keep on Running Going That Extra Mile For Local Good Causes
Occasionally we are asked why we, at GosVegas Running, don’t consider becoming an official running club. It’s easy to answer. Locally we are blessed with four fabulous running clubs right on our doorstep and each of these can meet most runner’s needs through their England Athletic affiliated status. Some of the benefits of these clubs include licenced Run Leaders and Coaches, discounts on race entries and ballot places available for races such as the wonderful London Marathon and many others. GosVegas Running began soon after Absolute Running opened their doors at Stoke Road back in 2012. It came about as an idea to give the local running community a hub. It would be somewhere people could meet other runners, share experiences in a social environment, find fitness classes and/or sports therapy and occasionally treat themselves to some new running shoes or accessories. The weekly after work on run a Wednesday became the 545 Run Club and the long Sunday social run became The Breakfast Club. These continued when Absolute Running closed their doors in 2017 and rebranded as Alton Sports. The 545 Run Club and The Breakfast Club offer a no pressure introduction to anyone who may be thinking of taking up running. Whilst we have qualified coaches amongst us, we do not coach or time your runs but offer support and friendship in a safe and friendly environment, (egos are left at the door!). A great number of our runners belong to affiliated clubs but choose to join one of our free weekly runs when they can fit it into their schedule. Often, the inexperienced runners will see the ‘normal’ club runners and be inspired to join a club themselves. In those early days, Absolute Running comprised a small team of Mum, Dad and Son (the real runner). Since becoming GosVegas Running, the ‘real runner’ has joined the Royal Navy and is 24
working for a living. Mum and Dad have day jobs but also belong to ‘Team Yellow’ otherwise known as Gosport Road Runners (GRR). GRR meet twice weekly at Gosport and Fareham Rugby Club. The running club forms the nucleus of our article this month, as having recently been involved in raising and distributing funds to local charities, I felt compelled to let a wider audience know how much good our club (and others) do for their community. Every November Gosport Road Runners organise and manage the Gosport Half Marathon which is respected by runners and considered to be a well organised, friendly and value for money event. There are not many races of this size and reputation that give so much for so little (less than £20 to enter) but what perhaps people don’t realise is how much of that entry fee goes to good causes. I certainly didn’t and I’ve been a club member for over 10 years!
Club members are invited to bid on behalf of local causes and charities who they believe will benefit from some financial assistance. These bids are considered by the Half Marathon Race Committee and the lucky recipients are invited to a presentation evening at the Rugby Club. I requested funds for our landlords at the Rugby Club who, like Gosport Road Runners, do a lot more for their community than some might think. They needed funds for an ID card laminator so that parents could see, at a glance, the credentials of those coaching their youngsters. The request was approved and I attended the recent presentation evening where the Lady Mayor, Diane Furlong, was guest of honour and also a recipient on behalf of her sponsored charity. What a fabulous evening. Race Director Dave Kitching opened proceedings with, ‘We are Gosport Road Runners. We run a lot. We run for fun, fitness and friendship. We run 5K and we run Marathons at home and abroad’, a perfect summary.
We were entertained by local operatic songstress Jennifer Parker - Lummis (also a Gosport Road Runner) and 4 young dancers who will be representing their country in a forthcoming dance World Championships. They blew everyone’s socks off with the quality of their dancing and passion and we all hope that they enjoy the World Championships whatever the outcome.

evening! How good is that? To everyone who enters the Gosport Half Marathon, a heartfelt ‘thanks’. Not only did you enjoy a well organised run but you helped do this too. It doesn’t matter who you run with or even if you prefer to run solo. As someone said to me the other Sunday while we were running with The Breakfast Club along Gosport’s Golden Mile...’isn’t the running community great?’ It certainly brings people together. So if you have been inspired by the sporting achievements of others and think that this may be your time to get involved, either pop into Alton Sports Gosport and speak to me or check out your local running club websites for information on how you can take those first steps.

Slimming World Helped Me Shrink in Size and Grow in Confidence Natasha from Gosport joined Slimming World in September 2017. 18 months later she is nearly 5 stone lighter, full of confidence and still manages to enjoy her favourite cake! ‘Before joining Slimming World I was very unhappy with the way I looked, I had no confidence at all and when I saw photos of myself it made me cry', says Natasha, 'I asked friends not to post pictures of me on social media and if they did I would untag myself. I originally joined Slimming World to keep my house mate company. If I’m honest, this was my third or fourth attempt at a group and I wasn’t sure it was going to be a success’. After joining group this time Natasha felt inspired and managed to stick to the plan! However, a few months later, following a spell of illness, Natasha had found herself slipping back into bad habits. Wanting some new motivation, she decided to move to the 9am group at Thorngate Hall, where Dawn was her consultant.
‘Dawn really inspired and encouraged me. I can’t thank her enough for her constant support as without this I am sure I would have given up!’ Previously Natasha wasn’t interested in cooking and made meals from jars or packets. She now has a new found love for fruit and vegetables and enjoys cooking new things to try. Her eating habits have changed and instead of binging on one unhealthy meal a day she enjoys 3 decent meals and some tasty snacks. ‘I find planning essential’, says Natasha, ‘when I plan, I stay on track and find I’m never hungry!’ The biggest difference to Natasha is her confidence and energy levels. Natural energy! She has even noticed a difference in her skin which she is sure is down to a much healthier diet and lifestyle. Dawn holds groups on a Monday evening at the Alverbank Hotel (3.30p, 5.30pm and 7.30pm) and on Tuesdays at Thorngate Hall in Gosport (9am, 11am and 1pm).

was tough. But from the minute I walked into Slimming World, the support and encouragement I received was incredible.” Dawn has dropped six clothes sizes which has led to many life changing moments and exciting milestones. “I now have the energy to keep up with my children and their energetic games, I enjoy exercising on a regular basis and I remember getting the best feeling when I was confident enough to wear a swimsuit on holiday for the first time ever. I felt on top of the world!”

Recipe of the Month PIZZA TURNOVERS
Šimage Nigel Maisey
Ideal for a lunchbox filler, picnic or afternoon snack, this twist on a traditional pizza turns this dish into something that resembles a blend of a Cornish pasty and savoury pastry. Serve with a crisp green salad for a larger meal. Ingredients: 500g packet ready roll puff pastry 1 egg 1 onion 400g tub passata ½ green pepper 2 tablespoons cooking oil 2 tablespoons tomato puree Pepper and salt Teaspoon oregano 5 thinly sliced mushrooms 4 slices of ham chopped 250g Grated Mozzarella cheese
28
Equipment: Flat tray, covered with baking parchment Method: To make the pizza sauce, chop the onion and pepper finely and put in a pan with the oil on a medium heat. When the onion is soft add the passata and the tomato puree, stir in well, add the oregano, salt and pepper and leave to simmer for 5 minutes. When cooked take off the stove and leave to cool. Take the puff pastry and roll onto a floured surface about 3-4 mm thick. Cut into 12 equal squares. Beat the egg in a cup and brush the squares. Spoon the tomato sauce diagonally along each square, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped ham. Finally top with a handful of mozzarella cheese. Pull in the opposite corners of the square and squeeze them to seal in the filling. Place on a baking sheet. Brush the outside with egg and bake on the middle shelf in the oven until pastry is golden brown and cooked underneath.
