Spotlight On

East Neuk First Responders Since its formation in January 2009 as an independent local community resuscitation charity, East Neuk First Responders have achieved a great deal with the support of the local community. Entirely self-funding, they initially raised thousands of pounds to purchase kit bags, training equipment and a dedicated vehicle which has allowed them to respond to almost one thousand 999 emergency calls to date.

Three years ago they launched their Public Access Defibrillator (PAD) campaign, and with huge community support have now installed 36 of these lifesaving machines in the East Neuk. Over 1000 local people and school pupils have attended defibrillator awareness training and the group were delighted when in January this year one of their PADs was used to save the life of a Crail lady.

In addition to the defibrillator and First Aid training they have offered Heart Health, blood pressure checks, health awareness events and also undertake First Aid event cover at local events. Their work has made a great deal of difference to many people and given those living, working or visiting the East Neuk of Fife the best possible chance of survival should they suffer a life threatening emergency.

They now need to recruit more volunteers to help with this work, if you are interested in becoming a First Responder, a First Aider, a First Aid Instructor or work in a support role they would like to hear from you.

Homes & Interiors Glorious Georgian

By Katherine Sorrell

You don’t have to live in a 250year-old house to enjoy the timeless elegance of Georgian style. Refined and uncluttered, its symmetry, proportion and classicism looks good in all kinds of homes, says Katherine Sorrell Did you know it was the Georgians who made us modern? During the century or so following the ascent of George I in 1714, our towns and cities, and homes and gardens, were transformed and the inexorable rise of popular culture began. Perhaps it is part of a trend away from pareddown minimalism in favour of bolder colours, decorative surfaces and more intricate shapes, or perhaps it is simply the appeal of classic elegance – either way, it is not surprising that we find Georgian life and times, and especially its architecture and interiors, fascinating.

But what was Georgian style?

According to V&A curator Julius Bryant: ‘The prevailing mood of the period is one of classical revival, of symmetry, order, balance, space and calm – in contrast to Victorian clutter. The centrepiece of a room would be a fireplace with a prominent mantelpiece, and then lovely floorboards, Turkish rugs, and furniture made from walnut and mahogany, with carved edges,

stable and strong.’

At the start of the Georgian era homes were very poorly lit, but This was, of course, the age of by the turn of the century gas the master cabinet-maker: and oil lighting was the latest famous names such as Thomas thing for those who could Chippendale and George afford it, though candles were Hepplewhite.

Beauty and the Beach

By Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk

Whether you’re planning a staycation, or a round the world trip, camping or a five-star hotel stay, read on for our pick of summer beauty essentials.

For many of us, slapping on foundation is the last thing we fancy doing on a summer’s day. But if you still want some coverage, try a Blemish Balm (BB). Similar to a tinted moisturiser, but with added benefits, a BB cream hydrates and primes your skin, while helping to even out your complexion. Pacifica Alight Multi Mineral BB Cream is a steal at just £16.99 from www.naturisimo.com. It’s perfect for creating that fresh-faced glow.

Moisturising Sun Lotion gets our vote. It’s 100% natural, has an SPF of 25, and offers both UVA and UVB protection. Usually, it’s best to buy a separate facial sun cream, as most body creams are quite greasy, leading to spots and skin irritation.

However, this lotion is gentle enough to be used all over, and is packed with nourishing ingredients, such as shea and coconut oils.

Ah the joys of trying to fit all of your make-up and toiletries into your suitcase. Travel sized versions of your favourite toiletries can be much more expensive, per millilitre, than their big sisters. A cheaper option is to invest in some refillable bottles. Do make sure that at least some of them are under 100ml, if you want to keep them in your hand luggage when flying. Some sets even come complete with a see through bag, so there’s no faffing around for a plastic bag at the airport check-in.

We like The Body Shop’s Travel Kit, £7, which has three bottles, two jars and a handy spatula.

Bobbi Brown’s Shimmer Bricks are a bit of a cult favourite, and the new Brightening Bricks (£34) look set to become just as popular. You use them in much the same way as you would a blusher, but the multi-tones help to avoid ‘Aunt Sally’ cheeks, and make for a far more natural, youthful effect. These have been designed to lock moisture into the skin, while absorbing oil to keep Miniatures are, however, a great way to try new skincare ranges without forking out for a full sized shine at bay. Choose from six shades, including product that might not suit your skin. If coral (pictured top of page). you’re looking to treat yourself to a new You need to protect your skin from the sun travel washbag to house all your new all year around, but it’s even more vital in goodies, we’re lusting after the Orla Kiely the warmer months. If you suffer from Large Washbag in Floating Flower, which eczema, psoriasis or other skin complaints, has three separate compartments and a hook you may want to opt for a natural sunscreen, to hang it up. Treat yourself for £32 at that’s less likely to irritate your skin. Neal’s www.Cuckooland.com.

Gardening Keeping Healthy In The Sun

By Pippa Greenwood www.pippagreenwood.com There is something lovely about this part of the summer.

The veg plot tends to be in overdrive and there are some delicious fruits cropping too.

But sometimes your beloved flower beds and borders, pots and planters can be looking ever-so-slightly sorry for themselves. There is often a distinct mid-summer-flop. You planted up your flower beds and numerous pots and containers to make them look good but how can you keep them looking on top form for as long as possible?

toughened up enough by the time winter comes; this late growth is then very prone to frost damage. A tomato feed with a high potash level works well for anything that you grow primarily for the flowers so every time you feed your tomatoes make up a bit of extra feed and pop it onto flowering plants. I tend to buy concentrated tomato food by the mini-tanker full as this works out much more economical!

using scissors or shears as soon as their flowering period is over. Do this promptly and follow it with a good feed and you can often encourage a second, later flush of flowers too.

If plants have become a little too tall or there has been a lot of rainfall they can literally flop over, clogging up the lawn on borders next to the grass, and generally looking a real mess.

This is easily solved if you check that stakes and other supports Make sure that everything is are still doing their job and redeadheaded regularly, both the position them if necessary, faded flowers and if necessary taking care not to snap any Regular feeding is essential, remove the flower stem too.

Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert Easter Monday saw the most radical changes to private pensions for a generation. The political spin is it’s ‘freedom and choice in pensions’. Yet more choice means it’s far easier to get it wrong, so here’s what everyone needs to know in 5 minutes…

Pension freedom sounds like something from Braveheart – what’s actually happening? I suspect George Osborne does picture himself as a financial freedom fighter. Yet only time will tell whether these reforms will paint him as the man who liberated older savers, or who exposed them to huge risk.

This is all about how you use your pension savings. As always you can take a quarter of it as a tax-free lump sum. Yet for decades most people have effectively needed to use the remainder of the money to buy an annuity – a product that pays you an income each year until you die. Now anyone aged 55 and over can take the whole amount as a lump sum, paying no tax on the first 25% and the rest taxed as if it were a salary at their income tax rate.

where what you’re paid is a proportion of your final salary – known technically as ‘defined benefit’ pensions.

There are ways to convert these final salary pensions into a pot of cash (be very careful of scammers), but don’t do it without genuine independent financial advice Is it worth taking out my pot as soon as I can? Usually not. If you’re in your 50s or early 60s you’re probably still working towards retirement and should be focusing on putting yourself in a position to have enough income when you do retire – so you want your pension to keep growing.

Plus by accessing your funds earlier than needed you can reduce your ability to make future contributions.

Yet you’re saying if I want to, I can just take out all the cash? If you choose to yes, but remember only 25% of it is tax-free. The rest is taxed at your current income tax rate like salary, and if you take a huge whack, just like if you earn more, some of it will push you into the higher tax bracket. See the income tax calculator at www.mse.me/ Does it apply to all types of pension? No, taxcalc to see the various levels. we’re only really talking private pensions where you and/or your employer saved up If I don’t want to take it all out what can I do? There are many options, some of them a pot of cash for retirement. Technically these are known as ‘defined contribution’ can be combined, here’s the main ones. or 'money purchase' pensions.

It doesn’t apply to the state pension, nor in the main part does it apply to pensions 30

Option 1: Leave it in your pension for when you need it. Then each time you withdraw, 25% of that amount is tax free. Eg, if you had £100,000 and took £20,000 out you’d

Walking Your Dog Enjoying long walks together should be one of the highlights of dog ownership, but it can so easily turn into a nightmare if you’re constantly battling against a strong dog. With the best will in the world, being pulled from pillar to post by an over-exuberant dog is no fun, but there is one thing you can do that will limit this type of behaviour.

Non-pull dog harnesses are designed to help you retain control, and train your dog to walk well

on the lead. It’s a gentle way to encourage good behaviour, which can be reinforced daily.

Reasons why harnesses work • Harnesses of this type generally clip on to a dog’s collar, and by attaching the leash in this position rather than on its back, pulling power is significantly reduced.

• Non-pull harnesses are gentle training tools which allow owners to reinforce good behaviour with treats and longer walks. Unlike choke chains, which werepopular in the 1980s, there’s no

danger of the dog’s throat or neck being damaged. This can be a big problem, even with standard dog collars if the dog pulls too hard.

• Harnesses like these are designed with extra padding to cover areas where friction might occur, such as underneath the dog’s stomach and legs where the skin is delicate.

Dogs are extremely sensitive to the mood of their owners, so if you are happy and relaxed when out walking, the two of you will form a closer bond.

Budapest ‘Queen of the Danube’

By Solange Hando Set in the Carpathian basi n, Hungary’s capital is said to rank among the m ost beauti ful cities in Eur ope. Here, the le gendary Danube fl ows thr ough the heart of tow n, mea ndering romantically around gree n islands a nd under iconic bridges.

On the west bank, the wooded hills of Buda climb to 527 metres while to the east, the plain of Pest rises gently i nto the distance.

Stroll along the prom enade or sail on t he Da nube and as you gaze at the elegant façades, the domes and spires gliste ning with mosaics, it’s easy to s ee why the river banks form an integral part of the city’s World Heritage. On the eastern side, beyond the s uperb Chai n Bridge guarded by lion stat ues, pride of place goes t o the gra ndiose Parliament Building, bristling with pinnacle s and turrets and topped by a splendid red dome.

Stretching 268 metres al ong the river, with 27 gates, 69 1 room s and a stunni ng 20kms of stairways, it was inaugurated in 1896 for the Mille nni um whic h marked 1000 years of Hungarian history. It is hom e to the Crow n Jewels a nd affectionately know n as the ‘Mother of the Country’.

On the Buda side, the Royal Palace rises on Castle Hill, one of the prettiest districts around with cobbled squares a nd traditional buildings. There are imposing statues and wrought iron gates, stylish c olonnade s and archways, a lofty church with ne o-Got hic ornam ents a nd the must -see Fi sherman’s Bastion, named after the Guild once resp onsible for its upke ep, now a top attraction for its unrivalled views over the river and city.

Beyond its hist orical complex, Buda is a select reside ntial area while dow n tow n, Pe st is all hustle and bustle, its streets lined with gl eaming s hops a nd architectural gems, ranging from ne o-G othic and Renai ssa nce to Bar oque, Ottoman and Art Nouvea u.

Andrassy Ave nue, the 2.5 km long commercial hub, is protected by UNESCO, alongside the Mille nni um Undergr ound Railway w hich foll ows the same route, starting a few steps from St Step hen’s Basilica and stretchi ng all the way to the city park. Among the many notable sights are the State Opera House, the nearby Franz Lis zt Academy of Music and at the entrance t o the park,

the Muse um of Fine Arts and Heroe s’ Square where t he semi circular memorial is described as ‘a history book made of stone’.

With a lake which is a n ice rink in winter, Bota nical Gardens a nd medicinal baths boasti ng 1 8 pools i n and outdoors, the park is a favourite haunt of city folks, just one of many ve nues w here you can relax i n this ‘land of 1000 hot springs.’ There are over 100 of them i n and around town, incl uding those on G ellert Hill prized since Roma n times.

The hill offers swe eping vistas over the city.

But s ooner or later, the Da nube calls you back with waterside restaurants, panoramic cruises and bridges revealing ever changing view s and architectural styles, from the contemporary Elizabet h Bridge to the iron Liberty Bridge where the last silver rivet was put in place by Franz Josep h, Emperor of A ustria and Ki ng of Hungary.

Budapest s uffered much destruction i n the past, but with its beautifully rest ored buildings, the ‘Quee n of the Danube’ truly deserves its place among E urope’s fi nest cities.

Barbecued Rack of Ribs Makes 4

Ingredients:

Ready in 1 hour

Pre-cooking ribs in a pan of simmering water before placing them on the barbecue will ensure meltingly tender meat every time. This method also saves space on the barbecue as the final cooking time with the sauce is much shorter. Serve with a spicy chunky tomato salsa, if liked.

• 2-3 racks of pork ribs (see Tip) • 6 tbsp tomato ketchup

1

• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 45 minutes.

• 2 tbsp sunflower oil • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard • 1-2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

2

Tip: Most large supermarkets sell racks of ribs or ask your local butcher to prepare them for you. Single ribs will work just as well (you’ll need about 2kg in weight), just reduce the simmering time to about 25 minutes.

Place the ribs in a large pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil then skim off any scum from the surface of the water.

• 3 tbsp maple syrup

Meanwhile, place the rest of the ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 510 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Leave to cool.

3

Remove the racks from the pan and drain on a board lined with kitchen paper. Leave to cool for 5 minutes then brush each rack liberally with some of the sauce.

4

Cook the ribs on the edge of a hot barbecue for 10-15 minutes, turning and basting with any remaining sauce until the ribs are lightly charred in places. Alternatively, the ribs can be cooked under a medium preheated grill.
