Tejanos brings an infusion of colour & flavour to Northallerton Tejanos, the new Tex Mex restaurant based on Northallerton high street, launched little over a month ago, bringing an infusion of colour and flavour to the town.

With a menu that boasts a selection of delicious dishes, catering for meat lovers, as well as vegetarians and those with food allergies, the restaurant hopes to attract those who appreciate an alternative to traditional pub grub and want to try something exciting and different.

Restaurant Owner, Luci Matthews comments: “It was only after living in America and Canada that I realised my real love of Tex Mex food and all that it offered. We were surprised that there was nothing like it in Northallerton or really the surrounding area.

I have a real passion for food and I understand how important the customers are therefore we will be listening to what they are looking for and ensure we deliver.”

With an array of drinks including hand-picked fine wines, cocktails and ales, there is something for everyone in this light and airy restaurant.

“We will be changing the menu on a regular basis as well as offering specials to ensure there is always a fresh feel every time people visit.”

Simple décor creates a relaxed atmosphere, with just the right balance of formality for an afternoon lunch or an evening meal with family or friends. The restaurant welcomes adults and children alike and provides a bar, lunch, dinner and takeaway menu.

The restaurant is located above Lakeland Leather and is open from 12pm – 10pm, Wednesday to Sunday. For further details and to book a table at Tejanos please call: 01609 777770 or email bookings@ tejanos.co.uk.

Mental Health Support Spring Open Day - April 2016 We were delighted to be asked to attend the Mental Health Support Open Day on 8th April.

The Centre (at No 2, The Link) provide a wide range of valuable support services and activities to people across Northallerton and the surrounding areas.

The Open Day provided a wonderful opportunity the to meet the team

at MHS and learn more about their services. There were handmade crafts, jams and baking, as well as knitted items, beauty products and bric-a-brac. The friendly staff were on hand to explain about the Centre and their plans for the future.

More events are currently being planned, so watch this space for details!

About MHS Hambleton & Richmondshire MHS’s approach to service provision is to hear and listen to people about their experiences with mental health problems. This begins with an acceptance that people are experts in their own lives and that what is important is to understand the impact of these experiences upon them as individuals and also in their wider relationships.

The support offered by MHS is welcoming, practical and focused on the individual. It is accepted that people’s experiences of mental health problems are invaluable in the contributions they can make to improving theirs and other people’s well-being.

How did it start?

Conceived in 1980, ‘THE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT GROUP’ (MHSG) emerged as a grassroots response to the unmet needs of people experiencing mental health problems and their carers.

The aim was to offer support to those isolated by their mental health difficulties. Initially this was achieved through a social club and befriending support.

it received funding in 1988 which allowed a project worker to be employed to co-ordinate and extend the range of services. Soon after the idea of a community based day centre was put forward by a newly appointed consultant psychiatrist.

Now? At any given time over 30 Volunteers support the whole range of MHS’s services from driving to running social clubs and befriending. Without their commitment, skill and experience which have been sustained over many years, MHS’s services would be much the poorer.

Who started it?

At first the MHSG services were run entirely by volunteers, with support from newly created Community Care Associations (CCAs). As the organisation’s experience and reputation grew

The Fabulous World of Nail Art People have been painting their nails for thousands of years.

white, or go for a more detailed design, such as zebra print.

A decade ago one could only choose between a coloured polish or a French manicure. But recently nail art has taken off, with elaborate designs featuring everything from geometric patterns to miniature landscapes.

Nail art ranges from simple stripes, to incredibly intricate creations, some of which can take hours to produce.

Flags - Many countries’ flags are quite simple to recreate. You could paint each nail with the same flag, or go for a full United Nations range of designs. Flags are ideal for celebrating sporting events, such as Euro 2016 or Rugby Union.

For the fancier designs and best results, visit a nail salon.

There are plenty of stand-alone salons across the country, as well as smaller nail bars in spas, department stores and beauty salons. If you have time, patience and a steady hand however, you could try the following designs at home, particularly if you have a willing friend to help out‌ Monochrome - Try painting half a nail black, and the other half

Please mention InFocus when contacting any of our advertisers

Polka dot - Paint each nail with a base colour and allow to dry before dotting on different colours.

Stripes - Fun for summer, stripes can conjure up images of seaside deckchairs or Breton t-shirts. Stripes across the nail can be slightly harder to get right, so you may prefer to work from the nail bed to the tip.

All that glitters - This look is easy to create, but effective.

Paint your nails with a high shine metallic polish, such as...

...Nars’ in Milos Rich Gold. While wet, sprinkle over some fine glitter.

Alternatively, choose a polish which already has added sparkle, such as L’Oreal’s Color Riche Gold Dust.

Ombre - With this look you want to create a gradient of colour. Start by painting the lightest shade onto your nail and leaving it to dry.

Then paint a band of the light shade onto a flat glass surface, and a darker shade above it. Altogether, the painted area on the glass should be just longer than your nail. Mix the shades together slightly where they meet. Lightly press a makeup sponge into the polish, then roll it onto your nail.

Embellishments - Stick on nail gems are easy to apply, although they don’t tend to last very long! Try a line along the cuticle, or one small gem on each nail.

For best results, allow plenty of time for each colour to dry, before applying the next shade, to avoid smudging. You may also want to add a clear top coat, to help your creation last longer.

Have fun!

National Picnic Week 11-19 June is National Picnic Week:acelebrationofpicnicking that’s been happening in the UK for over a decade.

Some see picnics as a romantic affair to be shared with a loved one, fine foods and a bottle of champagne. For others it’s an inexpensive family day out and often a reminder of childhood days. Or it could be a chance to spend time with friends, choosing to meet at a given location and each bringing along their favourite food and drinks to share.

You can find recommendations for places to enjoy your picnic on the National Picnic Week website: www.nationalpicnicweek.co.uk or you could try asking friends for their preferences.

For many people a picnic consists of traditional items such as sandwiches, crisps, boiled eggs and cakes or fruit. Research shows however that Mediterranean options such as deli-style meats, olives, humus and crackers are

also now commonly included and some choose to create items from special picnic recipe books.

One of the tricks of picnicking successfully is packaging items correctly to ensure food is not squashed beyond recognition and drinks don’t leak. Carrying your picnic on a bike ride can create extra difficulties but add to the fun.

Utilise specialist plastic containers, cling film, foil and sandwich bags, or buy items pre-packed. You could even splash out on a traditional picnic hamper. You can now buy a wide range of stylish brightly coloured plastic plates, cutlery and cups to enhance your experience.

It’s a good idea to remember to take napkins or kitchen roll and some wet wipes, as eating a picnic can get a little messy, particularly if you are sat on a picnic rug rather than at a table. Do take some bags for your rubbish too; never leave litter behind.

Fundraising Success!

Bright & beautiful art benefits scanner appeal THANKS to a local Northallerton art group, the Friarage Hospital’s MRI scanner appeal has received a £700 windfall.

The Tuesday Art Group regularly get together at Romanby Womens Institute to practice art.

An exhibition of their artwork with a flora and fauna theme helped to raise this fantastic amount thanks to everyone who attended to view the scenic work. A raffle at the event and donations from the group’s generous members boosted the total.

Their weekly sessions are a social and learning occasion and they support and encourage their love of art and work on producing artwork in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Art group chairman, Mrs Paula Robinson from Romanby, said: “We all really enjoyed producing the artwork for our exhibition and everyone worked really hard to produce the lovely art on show.

The amateur artists enjoy demos from artists and help each other in developing their creativity and imagination through their painting.

“We chose the Friarage as it is our local hospital, a cause close to all our hearts and one which we all might need at some time.”

Chairman of the Friends of the Friarage, Dr Upendra Somasundram, said: “The lovely artwork is a pleasure to see and we are very grateful to the group’s members for the generous donation for the scanner appeal.”

A MRI scanner for the Friarage will have huge benefits for people living in and around Northallerton and will be a valuable resource for medical teams and a welcome addition to the diagnostic services currently available at the Northallerton hospital.

GARDEN VIEW

Hanging Baskets Whether planted for summer or winter interest, hanging baskets provide valuable colour at eye level. Choose vibrant bedding plants for a short-term show or herbs, shrubs and evergreens for a longlasting display.

When to plant a hanging basket Plant summer hanging baskets from April onwards, but they will need protection from frost until the middle or end of May. If you do not have a greenhouse, it is usually easier to plant in situ once the frosts have passed.

Plant winter hanging baskets between September and October, and it doesn’t matter if they are frosted as the plants are should be hardy.

You would normally plant up a longlasting perennial hanging basket from April onwards, depending on the types of plants being used.

How to plant a hanging basket The basic principals of creating a hanging basket for winter and summer are the same.

Lining First of all, if you are using a standard wire basket, it will need to be lined.

You can buy readymade cardboard liners and fibrous materials sold for the purpose, but a thrifty option is to collect moss from the lawn. Aim to cover the inside with about a 1.5cm (½in) thick layer of the material and

22

then half fill the basket with compost.

Compost A multipurpose is fine for a display that only has to last for one year, but John Innes No 2 is better for a longer-lasting arrangement. And if you want to grow plants such as winter flowering heathers, it is best to go for ericaeous compost, although Erica carnea and E. × darleyensis cultivars are tolerant of other composts that contain lime.

Also consider using water-retaining granules to help reduce the chore of watering.

Choosing and arranging the plants When you begin to arrange the plants in the basket, it is usually easiest to start with one, central plant. This can be used to create structure and impact, which is particularly important in winter if its other companions fail to flower in cold snaps Around this, position some trailing plants to cover the sides of the basket, particularly if it is made from wire.

However, using a more decorative basket is best where it will be easily seen Along with this selection, it is worth considering carefully the flowering plants. Choose colours that work

well together and plants that flower reliably. For example, winterflowering pansies, petunias, lobelia and geraniums are always winners

Finishing touches Once all the plants are in, fill around the rootballs carefully with more compost, firming gently. You can push in some controlled-release fertiliser pellets or plugs at this stage, and then water well.

Aftercare Once the basket is planted, what else is needed?

Check baskets every day in summer, watering always unless the compost is wet. Drying out is an increasing risk as the plants grow and days remain warm Although baskets don’t dry out as quickly in winter, they still need regular checking. Aim to keep the compost moist but not soggy, and avoid wetting the foliage and flowers In spring, summer and early autumn (April to September), apply a liquid fertiliser Deadhead regularly to prevent the plants’ energy going into seed production, rather than more flowers

Please mention InFocus when contacting any of our advertisers

Problems Hanging baskets rely most on the gardener to ensure they don’t dry out. However, poor flowering can be remedied by trying the following: Ensure the baskets stays moist but not soggy. Feed once a week with a liquid fertiliser. Winter hanging baskets do greatly benefit from a sheltered, sunny spot. If the position is exposed, consider giving the basket some protection in the coldest weather.

Use either a layer of fleece, or sit the basket on a bucket in a cool greenhouse for just the worst days.

Watch out for common pests such as aphids, slugs, snails and vine weevil.

Diseases that may be troublesome include powdery mildew, pelargonium rust, fuchsia rust and impatiens downy mildew.

A fun day was had by all and the rain didn’t deter the crowds. Although some were concerned about the race going through town with the fair on, it actually enhanced the photos and was positively received by the crowds on the day.

A Plaque was presented to the Mayor from the Tour De Yorkshire organisers to commemorate the tour passing through Northallerton. The plaque will be mounted in the Town Hall when planning permission is granted.

Beware Cold Callers!

Unfortunately some large, reputable businesses are attracting the unwanted attention of scammers and cowboy builders who are cold calling and knocking on the doors of innocent people, pretending to be from well known companies working in the area. They apply pressure sales and bully tactics to get people to hand money over for substandard work, or in some cases work that does not even get done!

Resin Drives, a reputable national driveway company have fallen victim to this scam and have a few words of advice for innocent consumers to ensure they and their money stay safe:

Reputable companies will never knock on your door touting for business.

Always ask for identification which is provided by reputable companies whenever their employees are visiting a customer.

Do background checks and make sure the company they say they are from has sent them.

Check companies out on Trust Pilot Never hand over cash or any kind of payment to any work person unless you have contacted them directly and employed their services yourself.

Resin Drives spokesperson has the final word, “Resin Drives would never cold call or knock on your door, we advertise nationally and all of our customers contact us direct from the advertising we do, or through word of mouth referrals. It concerns us greatly that people are being conned by these disreputable people. Follow our check list and you will not fall foul of this scam.�
