Editor’s Letter
Hello and welcome to this month’s Covered – the magazine for the Leeds suburbs. Happy New Year to you all! As we say goodbye to 2014 and welcome in 2015 many of us will have made resolutions and by our next edition, many of those will have been broken! What seems achievable at the start of the year often is not by the time February comes around. My own resolution is to make a dedicated attempt to stop smoking. Not for the first time. Hopefully I’ll be able to report some success in the next edition. Good luck with any positive changes you’ve decided to make in your life. January is also celebration time at Covered as we put four candles on our cake. It seems far longer since we launched our first magazine with a distribution of just 10,000 copies in Horsforth.

ANGELICA Angelica is, without a doubt, one of Leeds’ more elegant and classier venues. With an outdoor wraparound terrace and amazing rooftop views this penthouse restaurant and cocktail bar is located on the sixth floor, overlooking Trinity Leeds Shopping centre, and is accessed by a glass elevator situated on Boar Lane, beside Holy Trinity Church. By day, Angelica is a lively grand cafe and, by night, transforms into a popular destination for a leisurely cocktail. This contemporary oval shaped venue is bright and airy, thanks to the floor to ceiling windows and clever use of mirrors. The circular, pewter bar also adds to the vibrance of the place whilst creating an interesting focal point and is stocked with an incredible array of bottled spirits. Most of

The raw bar has a good range of maki rolls and sashimi as well as offering Lindisfarne rock oysters. The local theme continues with the starters offering Bridlington Bay crab and a Yorkshire game pate, served with sour dough bread and a fig relish. The main courses are more substantial, yet beautifully presented. Choose from a selection including pumpkin ravioli with sage sauce, lamb chops on a polenta cake with wilted spinach and tomato and black olive jus or a pan fried sea bream, with cauliflower puree, seasonal greens and fish veloute. Or, if you fancy a touch of comfort food for your evening dish, there’s always the croque-monsieur.
There’s a list of dependable desserts to take your pick from too; seaside doughnuts, creme brûlée or the luxurious triple chocolate brownie with popcorn ice-cream and salted caramel sauce. Of course, if you have no room for dessert, there’s always an extensive range of wines, champagne and liqueur coffees, not to mention the cocktails. If the eclectic range of dishes on offer doesn’t tempt you, then the cocktails and drinks surely will. The mixologist team at Angelica are not only dressed to impress, they really know their stuff. The cocktail menu is also seasonal, offering a variety of infusions throughout the year and covers the classics, mocktails (alcohol free) and also cocktails created in-house by the Angelica team.

Beaujolais Nouveau – the French get in on the act The celebration of the release of Beaujolais Nouveau was always a peculiarly British thing, reaching its climax in the early eighties. Then, there was no end of ingenious, novel or outand-out speed tactics to see who could get the first bottles to trendy restaurants, upmarket corporate events, game shooting parties and the like. Sipping a glass at London’s Victoria train station by lunchtime was the thing to be seen to be doing - among some circles at least. To the French it was business as usual – the release of that year’s vintage of a rather light red wine from part of the Burgundy region. Rather lightweight too. The wine, made from the Gamay grape, sells for only a fraction of the price reds produced elsewhere in Burgundy from the pinot noir. There are celebrations in the region itself, and there used to be local competition to get the first bottles to Paris. But nobody went to the same extremes as the British. In those days the recently fermented and bottled wine was always released in the region on 15 November. The race was on. But, in 1985 and hoping to extend people’s celebrations into the weekend, the day of release was changed to the third Thursday – this year the 20th. The race was off. Somehow it wasn’t the same. Producers also started releasing stock early, though forbidding consumption before one minute after midnight on the day in question. Perhaps the loss of exclusivity contributed to our loss of interest in the wine itself. According to The Daily

hypermarkets. Thirty or forty labels on offer, including previously barely seen whites and rosés. Maybe this year’s hype is partly due to the fact that the growth and harvest of this year’s gamay grapes were not as badly affected by the wet summer as were some other reds. According to the experts this year’s is as good as ever, whereas other Burgundies will struggle. “Well balanced” and “elegant”.
Telegraph, UK sales of Beaujolais slumped by around 85% between 1999 and 2011. This year agencies representing the producers launched a major marketing initiative within France itself. On the day, Covered photographer Ivor Hughes was quite taken aback by the enormity of one display in Dunkirk’s Auchan, one of a nationwide chain of
To get the current UK perspective, we visited Cairns and Hickey Wines in Bramhope – also on 20 November. There Peter Hickey was offering just the one, an Albert Bichot for £8.99. “This year we have half a dozen cases – in years past we could sell a hundred. There just isn’t the same demand and I doubt if many other suppliers have a dedicated display today. Though this year is quite good – whereas the past three were very poor.” Cairns and Hickey’s supply subsequently sold out in a fortnight. So you’ll have to look elsewhere if you want to try some for yourself. But be quick – winelore dictates that even the best start losing their appeal after Easter.

Winter Finches January is a time when things really start to hot up on garden feeders. Seeds and berries are mostly gone from the countryside, and the days are getting longer. Now you may start to see some new visitors - species that use bird feeders as a last resort, including a number of lovely finches: siskin, redpoll and brambling. The siskin is a small brightly coloured bird, with a black cap (the male) and a stripy yellow-green body. They are very agile, and, outside gardens, can be seen in the tops of alder and birch trees, hanging upside down from branches to reach the seeds. The redpoll is also small, and the male has a bright red patch on its head (hence the name) as well as a blush of red on its breast. The brambling may at first glance look like a chaffinch, but this is a more striking bird, with a dark grey head, a bright orange breast and a white belly. They are most likely to be seen on the ground, collecting seed fallen from feeders. Would you like to take part in the biggest wildlife survey in the world? The RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch takes place on the 24 – 25 January – just pick an hour and tell us what you see in your garden, or even in a local park, if you don’t have a garden. There will also be lots of Big Garden Birdwatch events – check the RSPB website at http://www.rspb. org.uk/discoverandenjoynature/ discoverandlearn/birdwatch/ for one near you.

Centrepiece of the celebrations was a fine Christmas and birthday cake made, decorated and donated by members Christine and Keith Harrap. Rather than the usual seasonal decoration, the cake was topped by oak leaves and acorns, symbolising the National Trust.

The event itself completed a decade of Christmas mornings organised by Jane Pronay, who went on to thank all longstanding and new members who do so much to make their organised events enjoyable and, indeed, possible – from social gatherings such as this through walks, talks, day outings and holidays.

Year round giving – sponsor a child
village until their early twenties, giving them every chance of completing their education and finding a job.
In the after-glow of Christmas and general goodwill, it is easy to forget that worldwide need is always there, especially in the poorest countries or those in conflict. One very effective way of contributing on a regular basis is child sponsorship. There are many organisations offering this, one of which is SOS Children’s Villages. The first such village was opened in Austria in 1949 by philanthropist Hermann Gmeiner, who was struck by the poor living conditions of orphaned children in the aftermath of WWII. Backed at the time by the wife of the largest shareholder in ceramics firm Villeroy and Boch, the idea took off. There are now 540 villages in 125 countries around the world.
Pictured is the SOS Children’s Village in Battambang, Cambodia, one of the poorest countries in SE Asia. 16-year-old Kamsort and her two sisters have lived here since they were little; after their father died, their mother was unable to support them. They have an older brother who is independent and their mother keeps in touch. Kamsort goes to school on site and lives in a comfortable house – dramatically different from living conditions just down the road.
The slogan is “a loving home for every child” and the villages are organised around the family. Siblings are kept together and each house mother cares for 10 children in their family house. The children grow up in a safe, secure environment with a school and social centre on site. Great care is taken to keep contact with their natural parents if at all possible. Two things about SOS Children stand out: every penny given goes to the child and his or her village, with all UK admin costs met from donations or government funds. Secondly, children can stay in the
Sponsorship starts at £20 per month – a sum which goes a surprisingly long way in developing countries. For more information, see the website soschildrensvillages.org.uk
SANTA & REBECCA at LCH December was an exciting time at The Leeds Children’s Hospital when the children had a very special visit from Santa along with his ‘elf’ Rebecca Keatley from CBeebies. The Leeds Children’s Hospital provides one of the most comprehensive range of specialist children’s hospital services in the country and is a regional centre, looking after youngsters from birth to the age of 17 from Yorkshire and beyond. Alice Halstead is now a Patron of the Leeds Children’s Hospital Appeal. Prior to that she spent a two and a half years continuous stay in the hospital and had this to say about being a patient during the festive period “Christmas was so special in hospital. In the run up to the big day; Santa, celebrities and numerous generous people would visit the wards donating presents
and making our time in hospital as special as possible.” Rachel Brooke, Fundraising Coordinator for the Leeds Children’s Hospital Appeal told Covered: “Everyone at the Leeds Children’s Hospital wants to make this Christmas as much fun as it can be for some of the bravest children in our region and to try and bring the normal things that children do at home into the hospital environment”.
However, the Leeds Children’s Hospital treats children all year round. If you would like to know how you can make a difference please visit: leedshospitalsfundraising.org. uk/LCH/ or call Rachel Brooke on 0113 2065223. Your donations make a huge difference to the lives of hundreds of thousands of children in our local area who deserve the chance to experience the very best all year round.

PLANET OF THE VAPES Thousands of smokers will, once again, gear up to kick the habit as this year passes into the next. Some will succeed and some will fail. The story is a long running one but the developing e-cigarette market has seen a massive increase in the number of people who change their habit by stopping smoking and starting ‘vaping’. If you’re a smoker, with a little help, this could be the year you finally quit! Over four million people in the UK are now using e-cigarettes. Vaping offers an alternative to smoking but e-cigarettes are not an official stop smoking aid. They do however offer a multitude of benefits for people who are looking to give up tobacco products. "Nicotine itself is not a particularly hazardous drug," says Professor John Britton, who leads the tobacco advisory group for the Royal College of Physicians. "It's something on a par with the effects you get from caffeine. If all the smokers in Britain stopped smoking cigarettes and started smoking electronic cigarettes we would save many lives. It's a massive potential public health prize”. The benefit of vaping is that e-cigarettes do not include the cancer-causing chemicals, tar or carcinogens found in cigarettes. Also, you can still vape in most places as it is not covered by the smoking ban. You won’t have that unpleasant lingering smell that smoking produces either. It’s certainly more socially acceptable to vape than to smoke, for now anyway. A plethora of flavoured vapors such as fruit, mint, candy, parmaviolet, rhubarb & custard and bubblegum
are available, as well as tobacco flavoured e-liquids for those that still want the taste of a standard cigarette. Starter Kits are reasonably priced and the average smoker will save a small fortune over the year by switching to vaping. If you do decide to join the millions who already have and give vaping a go, make sure you buy a reputable product. A user cannot be sure of the dosage within an unregulated e-cigarette, meaning they could be inhaling stronger amounts than they were used to as a smoker. Also, they will not be aware of the additives used in the e-liquid so it’s always best to check that the product is made or tested in the UK. The best advice will come from an independent retailer who focuses solely on the supply of e-cigarettes. You will find knowledgeable and helpful staff who will advise about the correct equipment and refills and you will often be able to try before you buy. With some statisticians claiming vaping is 95% safer than traditional methods of getting a nicotine fix, why not give it a go and see if you can give up tobacco for good this year? For more information call into your local independent retailer or visit: www.ecita.org.uk (Electronic Cigarette Industry Association) www.eccauk.org (Electronic Cigarette Consumer Association)

ZipYard and Mayor in Drive to Help Homeless Leeds’s first specialist clothing alterations and tailoring centre, The ZipYard, has teamed up with St George’s Crypt to encourage customers to donate an item of warm clothing for the homeless this winter. The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Cllr David Congreve, visited The ZipYard Leeds this week to lend his support. In return for their generosity, customers will be given a voucher for 10% off the cost of repairs or alterations to be used in February at The ZipYard in Chapel Allerton. James Neale, director of The ZipYard Leeds, says he will make sure the clothes gets to the people that need them and if an item of clothing a customer donates needs repairing, The ZipYard will carry out the work for free.

James told Covered: “St George’s Crypt goes above and beyond to help people on the streets. The ZipYard is proud to support their cause and just hope that people will dig deep and think of those in need.

part in our fantastic seed gathering project, which has seen over 800 trees planted across the city in recent years. The enthusiasm from the children is always superb, and I would like to personally thank our parks and countryside team for their hard work in making schemes such as this one a tremendous success."
LEEDS’ SEEDS STOCKPILE SUCCESS Over 450 children have played their part in this year’s Leeds City Council seed gathering project. Youngsters joined staff from the council’s parks and countryside team to take part and gather seeds as part of the initiative, which has resulted in over 800 trees planted in locations across the city over recent years. Seeds were collected from a number of parks including, Roundhay Park, Chevin Forest Park, Middleton Park, Golden Acre Park and Temple Newsam. A number of learning sessions were also included, which provided those taking part with the chance to find out more about
the local woodland habitat at each park, and more about seeds and their dispersal along with tree planting. Children also had the opportunity to plant their own seed in a pot and take it home to grow their very own tree. Councillor Mark Dobson, Leeds City Council’s executive member for cleaner, safer and stronger communities told Covered: "We were delighted to once again give youngsters the opportunity to take
of these areas and want to take part in the scheme, then register your collection now. If you don’t live in these areas, register your interest so they know the postcode demands for 2016.
Dreading the mess of getting rid of your Christmas tree? Help is at hand! After all the festivities are over and you have put your decorations back in the loft, the last thing you want to do is struggle with a Christmas tree scattering needles through the house, across the drive and all over the car. So this year, St Gemma’s Hospice are running their Christmas Tree Collection service, a simple but fantastic concept that asks for a donation in return for the ease of having your tree picked up and recycled. With the help of McCarthy’s Removals and Leeds Commercial Van Hire, St Gemma’s will deliver this fantastic service to many parts of Leeds. All you need to do is visit www. st-gemma.co.uk/treecollection, make a donation and tell them
Councillor Jane Dowson, Leeds City Council’s lead member for children and families added: "It was really brilliant to see over 450 children in Leeds this year have such an enjoyable time discovering more about the beauty of our trees and parks. As part of the initiative, a number of interesting learning sessions regarding our local habitat and seed dispersal were provided on the days, which as always were really well received by the children."
where you will leave your tree for St Gemma’s to collect (somewhere accessible), you don’t even have to be in on the collection dates. The Hospice will use the information provided via the website to collect your tree on 9th and 10th January. As this is the first year Leeds will have this service provided by the Hospice, collections will be limited to the following areas: LS6, LS7, LS8, LS14, LS15, LS16, LS17, LS18, LS19, LS20.

A hospice in Cheshire, now in its 14th year of this scheme has recently raised £71,000 from one collection so St Gemma’s Hospice are very excited about signing up and establishing what they hope to be a an annual service to benefit as many people in the city as possible. The money will go towards funding the vital care provided by the Hospice to patients and their families, which are free for the patients but cost over £9 million a year to provide.

26 Covered Motoring
Most of us hate getting out of bed and venturing outside during frosty mornings in the winter months. Unless it’s a particularly crisp, bright day, leaving the warmth of your home to join the traffic in your car isn’t filled with appeal. We prepare ourselves for the day – hat, gloves, scarf, flasks, etc – some even take a hot water bottles with them. Spare a thought for your vehicles though - the cold and icy conditions are just as tough on our cars as they are on us and, unless you have a particularly close relationship with the family hatchback, it won’t have benefited from a cosy night under the duvet. On December 2nd last year, the AA reported attending an average of 1,150 breakdowns every hour. Those stricken motorists could have avoided hours of waiting at the roadside, and the inevitable expense subsequently, by ensuring that they had taken a few easy and relatively inexpensive steps to ready their car, and themselves, for winter motoring. If you’re not confident under the bonnet, then take your vehicle to a reputable independent dealer so you can rest assured that your car will be ready to face the challenges of our winter climate. Covered popped into Horsforth’s Town Garage for details of their winter safety check, which should typically consist of the following: • Battery and alternator check • Antifreeze and washer bottle fluid check and top up
• Brakes, wheel and tyres check • Steering and suspension check • External lights and windscreen and wiper condition check • Seatbelts and heater check A service like this would cost only £29.95 inclusive of VAT and all fluids if done by Town Garage. You also receive a report on key components such as the battery, alternator, brakes, steering and suspension. The report will
advise you on any preventative work recommended to avoid a potential breakdown and a long stint waiting in the cold. Town Garage also supply and fit winter tyres and now offer free storage for tyres whilst they are not in use. Call: 0113 2582 756 and ask Tony or Pippa for more details or visit: www.town-garage.com

THE BOWERY The Bowery is an independent art gallery based in Headingley which provides space for exhibiting new and emerging artists, as well as offering a programme of arts workshops and courses. There is also a coffee shop which serves specialist coffee and light food in addition to selling gifts and work from largely local artists and designers. When husband and wife team, Sandra and Ged Togher, first launched The Bowery back in 2006 there wasn’t an awful lot else like it around in the area. Now, Leeds is blessed with an array of independent coffee shops and bars, but The Bowery remains one of the few places to provide a space for exhibiting and nurturing new visual artists. With a background in design and teaching, Sandra is keen to provide a platform for the growth of new artists who, otherwise, may find it difficult to show their work for the first time. The Bowery works directly with art students who are studying in Leeds and
offers advice and experience, in addition to providing invaluable contacts and the gallery shows new exhibitions every 12 weeks, often representing an artist’s first solo show. The concept for The Bowery was born when Sandra and Ged took 12 months out to travel the world, and saw first hand what was available in other countries, but lacking in our own area. Ged had worked previously in the construction industry, but a desire to run his own coffee shop seemed the perfect partner to Sandra’s gallery aspirations. Now the coffee shop is at
the heart of The Bowery and provides a calming retreat, with magazines, free wifi and contemporary music. On offer are a range of organic salads, local produce, sandwiches and home made cakes alongside their Allpress Espresso coffee.
“The Bowery was listed in The Times newspaper as one of the top coffee shops in Britain.”

Freshly roasted coffee is supplied weekly from the Allpress roastery in Shoreditch and this highly regarded New Zealand company have trained all of the baristas at The Bowery. This pairing obviously works well and The Bowery was
listed in The Times newspaper as one of the top coffee shops in Britain. Upstairs in the gallery and workshop space, there are a range of arts and crafts workshops available for both children and
adults. These range from the ever popular sewing classes through to ceramics, photography and millinery. There really is something for everyone keen to ‘have a go.’ Whilst the more experienced can be accommodated, the workshops are aimed at encouraging anyone wanting to explore their creativity, whether it be trying out painting techniques or reupholstering old furniture. The Bowery provides a stimulating environment and, as well as weekend courses, they offer 6 week long day and evening courses and even hold creative hen or children’s parties. And their corporate ‘crafternoons’ are proving a popular team building experience, with space available to hire if you’d like to host your own event. If you know someone who would be keen to try out a new hobby, gift vouchers are available or courses are bookable online. www.thebowery.org

New Year's Celebrations Around the UK
Happy New Year, everyone! You and your family will no doubt have your own way of celebrating the turn of the year and most will have taken inspiration from the UK. We take a look at some of the traditions followed by our closest neighbours.
Another ancient Irish tradition is the remembrance of family or close fiends who have passed away the year before; a place at the dinner table is set for them and the door is left unlatched.
The Ways Wales Celebrates
The Scottish lead the world when it comes to New Year celebrations and you might expect an exclamation of “Crivens! We invented Hogmanay!” if you alleged otherwise to friends north of the border.
New Year's Eve is referred to as “Nos Galan” and New Year's Day as “Dydd Calan”. The Welsh say “Blwyddyn Newdyy Dda” for “Happy New Year”, and that may not necessarily be on January 1st! Some areas of Wales (like Gwaun Valley) celebrate Dydd Calan on January 12th, because according to the Julian calendar (the predecessor to the Gregorian calendar) New Year's Day originally fell on that date. Other traditions in Wales include clearing debts before the New Year arrives, opening and closing the back door at midnight to symbolically remove the past year and its bad luck (locking it thereafter retains the good luck), and the belief that nothing should be lent on New Year's Day, as this sets the tone for the whole year.
Northern Ireland's Interesting Traditions Irish New Year is rooted in traditions and superstitions, many of which revolve around beginning the New Year on the right foot. It is customary for the house to be thoroughly cleaned and spotless as a good omen for the year ahead. Likewise, first footing - whoever first crosses the threshold into the home - is an important tradition (also in Wales and Scotland). If it is a tall, dark, handsome man, the Irish believe good luck is bestowed upon the home and its residents, while a red haired girl would usher in hardship and grief.
Scottish New Year: 'Hogmanay'
Scotland share many traditions with Ireland and Wales, including first footing (often with a gift of whisky and sometimes a lump of coal), singing songs to neighbours, cleaning the house on December 31st, and clearing all debts before the chime of midnight. Some villages even roll flaming barrels down streets to symbolically burn up the old year. Although visitors before the chime of midnight may be shooed to avoid bringing bad luck, part of Hogmanay celebration is the welcoming of friends and strangers with warmth and kindness, bringing in the New Year on a cheerful and amiable note. But their most prominent tradition is at the stroke of midnight, it's customary for all to join hands or link arms (corresponding with the final verse of the song) and sing the traditional New Year's song by Robert Burns, Auld Lang Syne, to bid farewell to the old year - a tradition now followed by many other English speaking nations. Wherever you draw your inspiration from for your own celebrations, all at Covered wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2015!

32 Education
Primary School Registration Deadline 15th Janaury 2015 Legally children must start school from the beginning of the school term after their fifth birthday. Parents of children born between 1 September 2010 and 31 August 2011 must apply for a school place before 15 January 2015. If a child was born between 1 September 2010 and 31 August 2011, he or she will start primary school in September 2015. It is important that you submit your application within these dates.
in more affluent areas and in established, reputable nurseries.
In Leeds children normally start school at the beginning of the academic year in which they have their fifth birthday.
Whether you’re looking at a brand new nursery or a more established one, It’s always prudent to do your background checks: Have a good look around the premises, ideally when there are other children and parents around. Ask to view an Ofsted report if one is available (if not, why not?). Speak to other parents, or ask for references. Also, ask to see examples of parents’ complaints – most nurseries will, inevitably, have had complaints and they will be logged. They may not want to share such information but transparency is important. How the business dealt with a complaint should give you an indication of the attitude toward staff, children and parents. A new building doesn’t mean that the business and its staff are inexperienced; many are new branches of existing nurseries or are set up by experienced childcare staff. As with all decisions about childcare, don’t be afraid to dig, delve and ask questions. Always trust your own judgement – you know your child best.
If you live in Leeds and have an email address, you can apply online by going to the Leeds city council website www.leeds.gov.uk It is quick, easy and safe and you will receive a confirmation email that your preferences have been received. It can take up to 24 hours to receive your confirmation e-mail, by applying online you are automatically provided with proof that your application has been received. Also you will be able to log back in and check or change your details up until the closing date of 15 January. On 16 April you will be emailed with an offer of a school place.
Choosing Pre-School Care As demonstrated by the number of new nurseries cropping up across the city, childcare places are at a premium. Places are particularly hard to pin down
