otivation is what gets you started…
Habit is what keeps you going” said Jim
Ryun, an American Athlete. It got me thinking that many of us who have set our goals and wishes at the beginning of the year may be finding that now the summer is upon us, and willpower is lowering as we think of slipping into Autumn, that those things we fervently set out to achieve in January may be sliding from our grasp. And perhaps the reason is that we either weren’t committed to doing what we decided all those months ago, or we didn’t get into the HABIT of making that thing happen. Indeed a decision we made last year as a couple was to incorporate a fresh juice into our diet, at least once daily. We enjoyed blending fresh kale from the garden, including thick broccoli stems which would ordinarily end up on the compost, various fruit and other vegetables and chucking in copious amounts of ginger which sent Sean's hayfever packing (an unexpected, but very welcome result!). With the cleaning of the blenders and juicers, and the extra bit of organisation needed to make these each day it would have been easy to stop eventually. But once it became a habit it’s tough to break. So even when we have days out we make sure that we get our juice and do you know, if you look out for them there are juice bars popping up everywhere. So we grabbed one recently in Hyde Park at a festival, in a little street in Ibiza on a holiday and even the kids join in now, despite what can seem a very dubious mix sometimes! If there’s something you want to do, or your resolve has slipped, get started again and we’ll hear no more excuses!

Auto biographies Naturally, the Mitsubishi keeps its go-anywhere, self-assured and powerfully built presence. This is characterised by its short front overhang, upright windscreen, strong high flanks, flared wheel-arches and rearmounted spare wheel. These are all key Shogun styling cues that underline its mud-plugging aptitude. Indeed, standing next to the Shogun makes you feel pretty small. The vehicle is enormous and looks rather intimidating to drive. But once you haul yourself into the cabin, turn the key, select ‘Drive’ from the automatic gearbox and get rolling, any unease evaporates.

In 1982 Mitsubishi Motors Corporation launched a brand new breed of vehicle: a 4x4 which was tough enough to go where others feared to tread, yet enjoyed the sort of sophisticated specification more normally associated with top end saloons. More than thirty years later the Shogun is a living legend. The 2015 Mitsubishi Shogun has a bold new front end, distinguished by a deeper more integrated grille and chic LED daytime running lights. The design changes for this year represent a progressive evolution of the hard-hitting Japanese off-roader.

Staying inside the cabin of the Shogun, its multifunction display has reams of information available. This includes a barometer and an altitude gauge, indicating that this is a vehicle that has motoring ability stretching way beyond a farmer’s field. The seats are comfortable and supportive, and the large glass area provides first rate views of the road or rugged ground around you. Rear seat space is colossal, and load capacity seems immeasurably big. A third row of seats can be popped up too, turning the Shogun into a seven-seater. This is convenient if you’re taking a group of friends into the rough or you’ve got a posse of children you need to drop off at school.

By no means is the brute always a delight to drive on the road though. Sure, it’s easy to point the Shogun down a motorway and stay there, but any cross winds do knock you about a bit. That’s no surprise as it’s a tall vehicle – and because of that you can also forget tearing around bends on country roads, unless you like lots of lean.
SG4 trim brings leather seats, Bluetooth, a tyre pressure monitoring system and a fivespeed automatic gearbox.

Work begins on Holly Hill Leisure Centre The ground breaking ceremony for Fareham’s new multimillion pound Holly Hill Leisure Centre took place on June 15. Fareham Borough Council has contracted Balfour Beatty to construct the Leisure Centre on the site of the Coldeast Hospital in Sarisbury Green. When complete in summer 2016, the centre’s facilities will include:
A 25 metre pool with 6 swimming lanes A learner pool A gym with at least 100 pieces of equipment Exercise room Dance studio
Cllr Sue Bell, Executive Member for Leisure and Community said: “Work is starting on the Holly Hill Leisure Centre which is due to be completed in summer 2016, and when open will allow local residents to enjoy the excellent facilities it will offer them.” Jon Chew from Balfour Beatty said: "The Holly Hill Leisure Centre will provide a fantastic hub for the community to come together to get fit and at the same time give several apprentices the opportunity to take their first steps in the construction industry working on this great project.”
When finished, the Leisure Centre will be managed by Everyone Active on behalf of the Council. There will also be two new junior football pitches, a children’s play area and a multi-use games area for people to enjoy on site. The Council’s Countryside Service and volunteers are managing the different natural habitats surrounding the centre.
