September

Edition of your local Winchester Gazette Community Magazine!

Dear Residents, Hello from all of us here at Modern Magazines! Well, we ventured out to the theatre this month and had a fantastic evening. You can read all about it inside. We are certainly not out of the woods yet, but if we stop listening to all the bad news and concentrate on what we can do and move forward together, taking ourselves off if we feel under the weather at all, then I believe we will get through quicker. For our local trades and services, they are here for you. Please use your local magazine to contact them and ask for help and advice and book them in to do all those all-important jobs in the house, the garden and to assist you wherever they can. I love to hear you are calling them and using their professional services. We link you, the resident, to good local businesses. In addition to that we help promote neighbourhood clubs and societies. Many of these are meeting up again which is exciting. We hope you are able to get out and about, meet new friends and support these local groups. If you know of a club which needs ‘shouting about’ then please let me know! The children are going back to school again and hopefully will have a less interrupted year. We wish them all a successful and enjoyable time with friends. May they learn not only from the teachers in the classroom, but from each other too. If there is anything you would like to add to your local magazine, do let me know. I love to hear from you. Best Wishes,

Debbie & Stephen with their son Hayden

CPRE Hampshire Programme of Events Launched with Talk from World Renowned Rainforest Scientist

CPRE Hampshire are launching a new programme of talks and events for the Autumn, previously on hold due to Covid regulations. The ﬁrst event will be an insightful and fascinating talk on rainforests by Dr Glen Reynolds MBE, Director of the South East Asia Rainforest Research Partnership (SEARRP). SEARRP was established by the UK’s Royal Society in 1985 and is based at the Danum Valley Conservation Area in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. It is one of the leading rainforest research programmes in the world. Science supported by SEARRP has resulted in a step-change in our understanding of the ecology of tropical rainforests, their conservation, restoration, the impacts of land-use change and the sustainable management of agricultural plantations. The title for Dr Reynolds’ talk is “Conserving Borneo’s rainforests and biodiversity in an era of land-use, climate and environmental change: reasons for hope?” Over recent decades the once pristine rainforests that covered the length and breadth of Borneo - a tropical island in SE Asia over three-times the size of the UK - has, in large part, been cleared and degraded as a consequence of industrial logging, the development of agricultural, mostly palm oil, plantations and climate change. Many of Borneo's iconic species - orangutans, clouded leopards, helmeted hornbills, the Bornean pygmy elephant and sun bears - are now severely threatened and often exist in small forest patches embedded within oil palm plantations. In 2019 the last Sumatran Rhino in Sabah died, representing the extinction of the species on Borneo.

tropical forests, even in the face of logging and fragmentation, and allied projects continue to demonstrate that it is possible for plantations to support species of high conservation value, with even orangutans able to 'co-exist' in agriculturally dominated landscapes. Research has shown that forests can be sustainably managed, restored and reconnected and that by doing so, Borneo’s rainforests can play an important role in mitigating climate change. However, the window of opportunity to act is narrow - and we all have a part to play in rolling back decades of forest loss. Boyd McCleary, Vice Chair of CPRE Hampshire said: “Rainforests contain more than half of the planet’s animal and plant species and supports the livelihoods of over one billion people. They play a critical role in stabilising the earth’s climate and atmosphere and maintaining the water cycle. These are major global issues that impact all of us. Climate change is starting to become more and more relevant to our everyday lives. The talk by Dr Reynolds will be interesting and insightful and we’re delighted to be hosting him at this event.” This event will be taking place at Sparsholt College at 6.30pm on Thursday 16th September 2021. Tickets are £20 for non CPRE members, £15 for members and £5 for students and are available to be booked from Eventbrite. For all other events, please visit the events page on the CPRE Hampshire website www.cprehampshire.org.uk.

However, there is cause for hope. SEARRP science has illuminated the resilience of

here is nothing more satisfying for us than hearing a patient say that for the first time in their lives, they feel confident in their own skin”, says Dr Tara Kidd who runs The Skin Clinic Company : a high-end medical skincare clinic, aiming to bring the Harley Street experience to the South of England. Focusing on the synergy between skin health and advanced procedures, Dr Tara specialises in the latest scientifically based skin and medical aesthetic treatments, from advanced skincare products and facial treatments, to cosmetic injectables and non-surgical skin rejuvenation using medical-grade technology. Dr Tara trained on Harley Street, London and runs her clinic from several clinic locations in London, Winchester and Sandbanks in Dorset. Prior to her career in 8

aesthetics she spent significant time working in specialities such as Dermatology and Surgery before working as a GP. Her work has been featured in numerous magazine articles and online publications, and she also is involved in training other budding aesthetics practitioners. “Being involved in a patient’s skincare journey is a real privilege”, says Dr Tara. “It can feel very daunting to decide to deal with issues that have affected someone’s self esteem for years. We know that a huge amount of confidence is tied up in our skin and how we look, and whilst we encourage all our patients to embrace their imperfections, and the uniqueness of who we all are, it’s wonderful to be able to help patients who have issues which may have affected their self belief for years.”

Dr Tara oﬀers a free no-obligation consultation to every patient, to discuss their skincare concerns, and tailor a bespoke package of possible treatments.

“We aim to target the signs of skin ageing and skin disease, from the inside out” says Dr Tara, “And we believe passionately that the best way to get glowing, radiant skin is to have healthy skin. We offer a holistic approach combining nutritional and lifestyle advice, with prescription skincare, injectable face and body treatments and other therapies such as Collagen micro needling and enzyme peels”. Dr Tara personally performs all treatments, unlike some clinics where non medical professionals are offering treatments, and so patients know they are in safe hands of a highly qualified medical professional with an intimate knowledge of facial and body anatomy. With an ever-growing list of new therapies being developed, Dr Tara continually research new treatment options and attends masterclasses and training to ensure she is up to date with the very latest developments and can offer patients the best options. The clinic offers numerous treatments including • acne treatment • scar and stretch mark revision • wrinkle reduction and other anti-ageing therapies • non surgical facelift • dermal fillers including under eye and jawline contouring • non-surgical rhinoplasty (“nose jobs”) • body contouring • permanent fat dissolving • facial rejuvenation treatments

• Collagen Induction Therapy • microneedling • chemical and enzyme peels… and more! Dr Tara oﬀer discounts to NHS staﬀ, and brides who wish to plan a bespoke package of skincare in the run up to their big day. “I would suggest that anyone who has been troubled by the state of their skin, whether it is acne, excess fat that they can’t shift with diet or exercise, or the signs of ageing, should get in touch and see how we can help”, says Dr Tara. “Radiant, healthy looking skin is possible for all of us, if we approach it in the right way and get the right advice and treatments”. So for a really personalised, and unique skin care journey, look no further than The Skin Clinic Company.

The name’s Bond...but not for much longer As he bids farewell to every actor’s dream role, we look at the legacy Daniel Craig’s James Bond has left behind. To equate his Bond experiment to the process of the average gymgoer, Daniel Craig is showered, moisturised, halfway towards being dressed and grateful for the occasional glimpse in the changing room mirror… one which flashes back reflections that his 007 persona might casually approve of with a muttered, “good job”. Speculation that the actor was saying his farewell to James Bond has been circling for some years, but now, unequivocally, he is done, as the rather clumsily named No Time To Die hits cinemas. As it does, the 53-year-old emerges with a few things – a life-defining imprint on the CV, a multimillion-pound war

chest, and the knowledge that he has influenced a generation of cinemagoers in refining the definition of the modern-day hero. “I’ve always thought the image of a good actor is someone who leaves the big gestures and sweeping statements for when the cameras are rolling,” he begins. “That should really be the beginning and the end of what we expect of our actors. “I don’t want to be the type who puts himself on a pedestal away from that. What right do I have to comment at length on politics or society or the environment? And why should anyone take any notice of me anyway? I’m an actor!” Back on screen, it has been interesting to see how far removed the modern version of Bond is compared to his immediate predecessors Brosnan and Dalton. And while Connery and Moore never strayed into dadbod mode, they represented an era where Bond smoked, drank and

copulated his way through problems. At the heart of what deﬁnes Bond is, according to Daniel Craig, a good yarn, purely and simply. “Just stick to the old adage that a good story goes a long way…. and blow stuff up every few minutes,” he laughs heartily. “That’s how it’s done.” Yet what makes the man himself is something rather more complex. “If you want it too little – a great body, a great ﬁlm role, a beautiful girl – you won’t get it. The same thing will happen if you want something too much - you’ll go too far the other way, burn out, overdo it, get injured. The secret is ensuring you do enough without going overboard, and that takes a little while to work out.” The husband of actress Rachel Weisz has certainly perfected the art of keeping it all in check. “Bond has always managed to combine brute warfare with effervescent charm. I only wish I could be more like him in real life!”

Authors for Autumn

Lose yourself this summer within the pages of these thrilling ﬁctional oﬀerings. Never Saw Me Coming by Vera Kurian Thriller lovers will enjoy getting stuck into Vera Kurian’s fresh take on the psychopath trope whose main protagonist is Chloe, a ‘First-year student, ordinary, legging-wearing, girl next door...and highly intelligent diagnosed psychopath.’ Never Saw Me Coming is a sharp, electrifying and hugely entertaining thriller with an antiheroine who will work her manipulative magic on you. Published by Harvill Secker on September 9 Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty Fans of the Australian author will revel in the twisty, thrilling joys in this highly anticipated release, which doesn’t disappoint. Joy Delaney and husband Stan have done well. Four wonderful

grown-up children; a family business to envy; the golden years of retirement ahead of them. So when Joy Delaney vanishes – no note, no calls, her bike missing – it’s natural that tongues will wag… but for the Delaney children there is a much more terrifying question: did they ever know their parents at all? Published by Michael Joseph on September 14 The Magician by Colm Tóibín From one of our greatest living writers comes a sweeping novel of unrequited love, exile, war and family. The Magician tells the story of Thomas Mann, whose life was ﬁlled with great acclaim and contradiction. Found on the wrong side of history in the First World War, he would have six children and keep his homosexuality hidden; a man forever connected to his family and yet bore witness to the ravages of suicide, eventually winning the Nobel Prize. Through one life, Colm Tóibín tells the breath-taking story of the twentieth century. Published by Viking on September 23 The Hill We Climb and Other Poems by Amanda Gorman Anyone who watched the inauguration of the 46th

President of The United States, Joe Biden, will remember the stirring and highly emotive reading by Amanda Gorman of her poem The Hill We Climb. Now presenting her debut collection of poetry under the same name, Gorman further proves her extraordinary talent and potential as one of literature’s brightest rising stars. Published by Chatto & Windus on September 21 Beautiful Country - A Memoir of An Undocumented Childhood by Qian Julie Wang Qian is just seven when she moves to America, the ‘Beautiful Country’, where she and her parents ﬁnd that the roads of New York City are not paved with gold, but crushing fear and scarcity. This memoir is an unforgettable account of what it means to live under the perpetual threat of deportation and the small joys and sheer determination that kept her family aﬂoat in a new land.

The Great British Snake Off When you think of snakes, you might picture a fat boa constrictor basking beside a Brazilian river, or a king cobra rearing up from the dust of an Indian plain. Snakes seem too exotic for the often cold, wet and windy weather of the UK. But snakes are adaptable creatures, found on every continent but Antarctica. Here are the UK’s three species of snake. The biggest: grass snakes The grass snake is our longest snake, growing to well over a metre. They’re usually a greygreen colour and most easily recognised by the black and yellow collar behind the head. They have dark eyes with round pupils, whereas adders have elliptical pupils in their bright red eyes. Grass snakes can be found in areas with long grass often near water, including garden ponds. They’re excellent swimmers and regularly feed on fish, frogs, toads and newts. Grass snakes are our only egg-laying native snake. Grass snakes are not venomous. They’re very shy creatures and will quickly slither away if they are disturbed. If they don’t have an escape route, they may play dead and roll onto their back with their tongue hanging out. As a last resort, if they’re handled, they can also release a foul-smelling liquid from their vent. The most misunderstood: adder Our only venomous native snake, the adder has picked up a bad reputation and often inspires fear. Bites can occasionally be serious (and should always be immediately checked at a hospital), but they aren’t aggressive and rarely bite people. Most bites happen when a snake is handled or stood on. Adders prefer wilder habitats than grass snakes, like heaths, woodland rides, and coastal dunes. They are rarely found in gardens. They’re shorter but stockier than a grass snake, and are usually grey-brown with a distinctive

zig-zag pattern along the back. Male adders ‘dance’ to fight over females, entwining with each other and trying to wrestle the other male to the ground. Instead of laying eggs, females incubate them internally and ‘give birth’ to up to 20 live young. The rarest: smooth snake Snakes are secretive and hard to see at the best of times, but smooth snakes are so rare that very few people in the UK are likely to have seen one. They’re found across mainland Europe, but in Great Britain are only found on a few sandy heaths in southern England: in Dorset, Hampshire, Surrey, West Sussex and Devon. Smooth snakes grow up to about 70cm long, are slender and usually grey or dark brown, with dark markings along the back. The dark markings aren’t as distinct as an adder’s zigzags, and they have round pupils (compared to the adder’s elliptical pupils). Smooth snakes aren’t venomous. They catch their prey with their teeth and coil their body around it like a constrictor, most often feeding on lizards and small mammals. Alice Ashcroft

Greenfingers… The Alan Titchmarsh Column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration; and this month, as autumn works its way into our outdoor spaces, Alan Titchmarsh explains why variety is the spice of life, even in the garden! With the approach of autumn, at the moment we’re going through that phase where the colours and the shapes are changing. There’s sometimes a sadness when you realise summer is coming to an end, and the leaves certainly seem to be falling earlier this year. My advice though is to embrace the new season and really go after all the potential and possibilities that it holds. After all, we’re actually very lucky in Britain – where plants are concerned we can afford ourselves a different favourite every month; snowdrops in January, daffodils in February, tulips in March and so on. People tend to associate autumn with brown and orange tones, and a rustling underfoot; but it’s about much more than

that. One of the most exciting times is when you wake up on a certain day and you can just smell the fact the season has arrived. It’s something in the air - a kind of sourness, a tang that lingers. You can smell things just beginning to decay, but it’s in a way that is replenishing, stimulating and invigorating because it means things are turning and new possibilities are around the corner.

look at the lovely ferns it’s now growing. Next, perhaps start autumn with a tidy-up of borders, or a clean out of the greenhouse, or perhaps even renew a few tools. Also consider getting your compost boosted with all those leaves suddenly in abundance. And ﬁnally, invest in some evergreens to offer texture and volume in areas of the garden that might start looking a little sparser. Mostly though, look forward to the coming change and admire nature’s versatility. There is tremendous colour still around us, and where the leaves have descended, look at the skeletal, artistic majesty of trees.

So as autumn arrives I would offer the following bits of advice. Firstly, hold on to the last bits of colour and savour them. Next, enjoy what’s there - perhaps you have some raspberries or any number of the late-ﬂowering varieties such as Cyclamens, Begonias, and of course, Crocuses. Also see how your garden is evolving – sure, that asparagus bed is no longer cropping, but

Remember, anticipation is an underrated commodity. People expect everything instantly now because they are able to go into a supermarket and have what they want when they want it. Yet there is more to it than that where our gardens are concerned - I like looking forward in life and I thrive on anticipation because, of course, when it does happen, it’s that much more enjoyable.

A Design for Life… The Kevin McCloud Column Designer, writer and television presenter, Kevin McCloud leapt into our consciousness with his vastly successful Grand Designs show on Channel 4. This month, the affable architect looks ahead to some design trends that might rise to prominence over the next few years. I get asked a lot about future design trends and initiatives, and the truth is I wouldn’t know what a trend was if it hit me in the face! Over the years I’ve come to regard trends as very lucid, irregular things – they come about quickly, are mixed and remixed, then disappear out of nowhere; and with interior design that can be problematic given the semipermanency of how we furnish our homes. It’s not like saying ‘this pair of trousers are out of fashion this year; I’ll wear a different pair tomorrow’. If you’ve added wood panelling to every wall in your home, it’s going to take a while to ﬁx. What I will say is what happens at the beginning of every century in design and

architecture is that people stop and look back at the last century and say, ‘oh my God, we didn’t get any of that, quick, let’s have some’, and you get this rush of building and design and furniture which is kind of retro – we’ve seen it over the past decade or so with a complete craze for anything vintage from 1930-90s. It’s fair to say we’re always looking forward as far as home design goes, both

architecturally and in the patterns and designs within. If I had to put money on a style or theme over the next couple of decades, it would be eco-based. We’re seeing a real retune to very natural, sustainable materials - basic stuff. Yet also, thanks to changes in technology and the way that

we design, often using iPhones, we can survey and model things really cheaply now. So that means we are going to see all manner of goods – from home products right through to personal stuff like shoes – made not in some factory in Germany, China or Portugal, but in a shop round the corner from where you live using really sophisticated 3D printing techniques. Certainly, a look into the future is a view back towards bespoking our homes in our own design. The era of the IKEA mass-market products has helped us a lot, but technology is now freeing us to style our homes in much more personal ways. It will mean we can turn back into being a nation who make things for ourselves, in a bespoke way, which I think is a very exciting future.

The Adventures of Daichi

The Modern Magazines Camper Van Daichi, our Japanese Campervan, is always looking for new, British experiences, so taking us to see Dad’s Army at the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne was an extra special treat last month. Were you an avid fan of this Iconic, now internationally renowned British show, in the late 60’s and 70’s? Back in the day this BBC sitcom reached 80 million viewers an episode and with nine series and 80 episodes in total there was a lot to laugh about. I had booked these tickets more than 18 months ago, well before any Lockdown, or hint of international adversity, so you can imagine the crowd, the audience, all seated and eagerly anticipating the

Watch out for Project Play’s next one! 28

Daichi at the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne cast’s appearance. When the tannoy announcement welcomed us all back to a “live show”, there was the best cheer I have heard for a long time. The audience was ready. Oh what excitement, oh what a buzz. We were there. We were with the characters. We were on that stage. Fortunately, metaphorically speaking, as the actors themselves were well rehearsed, and I am sure, as eagerly anticipating their performances as we were to watch them. We were all back together. I have been in plays (a few years ago now…) at school, and I take my hat off to these ambitious individuals, not professionals, but ‘ordinary local people’ with working lives and families to support, who work tremendously hard to put on a fully professional show. We salute you! “Don’t Panic!” You did a FANTASTIC job. You were all so in character and fully entertained us. Dad’s Army, as many of you will absolutely know, is situated in a fictional South England seaside town of Walmington-on-Sea, where the Home Guard platoon, manned by volunteers, is on watch. Jimmy Perry, one of the co-writers and creators of the

programme based a lot of what he wrote on his own experiences in the Local Defence Volunteers. Did you know that his mother did not like him being out late at night and worried that he would catch a cold, and as such the character of Private Pike is actually based on himself? How funny is that. The play started with “The Deadly Attachment” and the capturing of a German U Boat Captain and his crew. The unfearing, cantankerous Captain Mainwaring, a bank manager by trade, orders soggy fish and chips for them, much to the German captors’ displeasure. It is good-old British humour at its best. They don’t make ‘em like they used to. Followed by a scene from “Mum’s Army” in which Captain Mainwaring has a wandering eye and takes a fancy to Mrs Gray. It is such a shame that many of our great British lines and innuendos are disallowed and frowned on these days. In my opinion we have one of the best senses of humour on the planet and are able to laugh at ourselves in a healthy way. It is very therapeutic. After the much-loved ice-cream interval break, came “The Godiva Affair” where poor Mr Mainwaring watches his wife cavorting ‘naked’ through the streets (actually in a full cream body suit, but fortunately it was only left to the imagination…), as she poses as Lady Godiva in a fund-raising carnival parade. As my Dad would say, “You couldn’t

The cast “on parade”...

Great hilarity in “the office” write it, could you, Deb!” Well, Jimmy Perry and David Croft did - and oh did we all laugh! “The Floral Dance” was the final scene and as the actors gave us their departing lines, and the curtains slowly started dropping we were all smiles and clapped and cheered to our hearts delight. Eleven of us from Modern Magazines had gone to watch this fantastic ‘blast from the past’, literally from ages 17 to 80, and all of us had a fabulous evening. “Project Play” who produces these incredible shows does a great job managing and creating them. Matthew Rock, the Director and Producer, is ever grateful to all the local people who act and spend hours of their time rehearsing, the stagehands who create each scene throughout the show, the dress makers, makeup artists and the whole team which it takes to put on such a production. There are now Project Play opportunities in Burnham on Sea, Yeovil, Frome, Chippenham and Wimborne. You can contact them on 07970 216459 or via their Facebook page, @projplay. Daichi loved our British performance and will certainly be looking out for more of these to take us to! Where will he take us next – I wonder? By Debbie Corney

QUIRKY FACTS by Mica Bale Parents, grandparents and guardians we salute you! On the eve of the cosy, autumnal weather, congratulations on reaching September, having entertained the kids and creating new memories through the summer, not to mention accurately appraising school uniform sizes. After a busy summer, why not take a well earned coﬀee break, pick up the magazine and enjoy a delve into Hampshire’s history with another ﬁve quirky facts?

Did you know that it was a Hampshire bishop who was ﬁrst thought to identify the misuse of the double negative in the English language? Robert Lowth was born in the county and was renowned for many remarkable works in the English language including a translation of the Bible book of Isaiah as well as many other grammatical textbooks. In fact, prior to Lowth’s commentary on the English language and even his identiﬁcation of many of Shakespeare’s grammatical errors, the use of the double negative was common in literature and was even found in the King James Bible. So next time you’re groaning about grammar, remember to thank this Hampshire bishop!

Although it is Osborne House that Queen Victoria is most associated with, did you know that just a stone’s throw away from the queen’s favourite royal retreat is Norris Castle, the stronghold which would host the young princess, already heir to the throne, and her mother on several occasions? Evidently Queen Victoria remembered her times at the castle with fondness. She even wrote that ‘After our luncheon…we drove over to Norris Castle. We walked through all the rooms and I recognised with pleasure my old room and Mama's and my bedroom’. In fact, Queen Victoria very nearly decided upon purchasing the castle as their retreat before ﬁnally settling on Osborne.

One of Britain’s greatest violin bowmakers was William Charles Retford who was renowned for his designs and the high quality of his bows. Retford was born in Ashley in the New Forest and would later go on to publish a memoir of his upbringing in the Hampshire countryside. He wrote that ‘I was born (June 1875) in a cottage in what is now Ashley Road; situated south of the lane at the base of the hill by the brook. This spot was known as ‘Litchford’. As a tiny tot it had the elements of a fairyland to me. Fern Hill woods were west of the lane, east were a narrow meadow and Ashley Arnewood woods. In the spring these were a carpet of bluebells through which I waded; they were shoulder high to me.’

Did you know that the illegal wife of the future King George IV was once the owner of Hall Place at Bentworth? Not to be confused with the later Bentworth Hall, Hall Place has origins dating back to the early 14th century although there was known to be a manor as far back in history as the time of the 1086 Domesday Survey. The hall and manor has a long heritage of ownership however it came to be that at the turn of the century in 1800 Maria Fitzherbert inherited the house. Renowned for her illegal matrimony to the Prince Regent at the time, their union was ill-fated from the beginning as it had not been approved by the prince's father. In the years that followed, the two were separated however just before his death, he requested that he be buried with a miniature of the Hampshire heiress! The British Airship Beta was part of a new breed of aircraft developed by the Army Balloon Factory. As such, on one of its first flights, the aircraft suffered a failure of its crankshaft, forcing it to land in the Anna Valley. The Royal Engineers were quickly dispatched and it was settled in the village’s chalk pit whilst a new engine was organised. Interestingly the Beta was left overnight in the small settlement, no doubt causing quite the stir in an era when air travel was only just beginning to take off.

Luscious Lamb Moussaka Introduction

Colder evenings call for warming comfort food such as this satisfying moussaka. Serve with a fresh green salad or even just a crusty baguette to mop up the rich sauce.

Ingredients 500g lamb mince 2 aubergines (sliced crossways) 4 large white potatoes (peeled and sliced) 1 onion (diced) 1 400g tin of chopped tomatoes 2 tbsp tomato purée

and then rinse them thoroughly before patting dry with kitchen towel. Oven bake as instructed. • Dish can be made ahead by covering your layered moussaka with cling ﬁlm and storing it in the fridge. When ready to bake, simply cook for ﬁve minutes longer in the oven.

2 garlic cloves (minced) ½ tsp ground cinnamon 2 tsp ground oregano 150ml beef stock For the béchamel sauce 40g butter 40g ﬂour 500ml milk 80g grated cheddar or parmesan Pinch of salt and pepper

Top Tips • If you are concerned about the aubergine being bitter – the fresher the aubergine the less chance of this there is – simply place your raw slices in a colander with a pinch or two of salt, leave for 10 minutes

Method Step One Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Lay your potato slices on one baking tray and your aubergine discs on another with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden. Meanwhile, put the lamb, onion, garlic, oregano, and cinnamon in a large frying pan and cook over a medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the meat. Once browned, add the chopped tomatoes, beef stock and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over a high heat for 4-5 minutes until the ragù

Tip

Make this dish vegetarian by substituting the lamb for one 400g tin of cooked puy lentils and using vegetable stock instead of beef.

is reduced to a thick and saucy texture. Step two To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan and stir in the ﬂour. Cook for a few seconds, then gradually stir in the milk. Add half the grated cheese and simmer the sauce gently for 4–5 minutes, stirring regularly. Season with salt and pepper. Step Three Add the potato slices to an oven-proof dish in a single layer. Spoon over a layer of lamb ragú and top this with a layer of aubergine slices. Repeat once more before pouring over the béchamel sauce and topping with the rest of the grated cheese. Bake the moussaka for 35-40 minutes until it is golden and bubbling.

Each moment is precious

POETRY PAGE It can take but a moment To change your life's path. And once it ticks by, There is no going back.

Live in the moment, Just take it all in. Pay attention to everything, Right there and right then.

In just 60 seconds, You may make a new friend. Find your true love, Or see a life start or end.

Don't let your mind wander To what's coming next. Cherish this moment And give it your best.

You become who you are In those moments you live. And the growth's not in taking But in how much you give.

Don't let tomorrow Make you rush through today, Or too many great moments Will just go to waste.

Life is just moments, So precious and few. Whether valued or squandered, It's all up to you!

And the person you're with, In that moment you share, Give them all of your focus; Be totally there.

Patricia A F leming

Laugh till it hurts, Let the tears drop. Fill up each moment With all that you've got. Don't miss the details; The lesson is there. Don't get complacent; Stay sharp and aware.
