Welcome to the Cheshunt Echo Hello and welcome back to this edition of the Cheshunt Echo. Summer has been a scorcher so far and by all accounts looks set to continue for a while yet! So there is still time to get out and enjoy some outdoor activities. If you like the rush of a roller coaster see our article on page 4, but if you prefer a more sedate outdoor pursuit find out how to brighten up your garden on page 13. For a great recipe to use those courgettes that all seem to be ready at once, turn to page 14. No doubt you have taken loads of photos in the sunny weather, so find out how to keep them safe with some storage and back up tips from our resident guru on page 10. Or find out more about essential oils and her passion for coaching from Jo on page 6. We would love to hear from you if there is a story you would like us to report or a local event you’d like us to cover, after all this is YOUR magazine and we are always ready to listen to our readers.

d n u o r g r Fai n o i t c a r t At Why we like to be scared

Fairs and theme parks never seem to lose their attraction. My kids love them as much as I did. The smell of candyfloss, the music and the thrills. It’s a perfect summer combination. Not everyone will agree with me though. My wife is terrified of anything more exciting than the merry-go-round. So why do I love Blackpool’s Big One, while her knuckles go white on the dodgems? It seems some of us enjoy the physical sensations associated with fear: the adrenaline rush; the pounding heart and the sweaty palms. Scary rides make us feel alive. Terrifying experiences induce a sense of euphoria once we’re back on solid ground though we only enjoy them experts say, when we’re within a “protective frame” that assures us that deep down, we’re still safe. New technologies have allowed engineers to design coasters that change speeds quickly, shoot up hundreds of feet into the air, and make all sorts of twists and subject the body to intense forces. Research suggests that extreme fairground rides tend to appeal particularly to those of us who lead stressful, structured

or controlled lives. It’s certainly true that roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum expectations of everyday life. Theme parks allow us to act like children again; to experience true excitement and behave a little wildly. Where else as an adult can you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air without being sent for psychological evaluation? Adventure parks are also a great way of bringing families and friends together. Riders share the thrill and adventure of having survived what feels like an extreme experience, even though the rides there are very safe. This bonds the participants more closely. It’s even been suggested because of this that theme parks and rollercoasters are good places to go on a date because in situations of high emotional intensity attraction is more likely. If you’re looking for a great day out this summer where you can get in touch with your inner risk-taker, feel closer to your family and maybe even find romance... head for the nearest theme park. It’s a scream! By Tom Hancock

After spending many years competing at international level in the world of Tenpin Bowling, travelling the world and proud to wear a Great Britain shirt, I soon realised that sports coaching is a true passion of mine and that I am perfectly placed to coach adults and children. To help them succeed with their competitive dreams of representing their country in a sport they love. I became a fully qualified athletics coach in 2013 and have been coaching multi events ever since. I am now based in Chelmsford and coach young people between 12-16. I simply love working with them and we have lots of fun, but work hard too. I coach long jump, high jump, 800m, shot and hurdles and attend regular training sessions to keep my own personal and professional development current, relevant and compliant.

• Aromatherapy –

which helps with calming, the mind and body, builds up the immune system, helps with aches and pains and gets the body and mind ready for any event.

• Sports Nutrition –

“Its my mission to help as many people as I possibly can with their health and wellness...”

assisting with the correct dietary requirements for athletes, whilst competing, training and resting.

• Essential Oils –

learning about the benefits of oils and how they can work for each athlete.

• Sports Psychology –

helping the mind prepare and keeping focus from everyday training to major competitions.

• Anatomy & Physiology –

Learning about the different body systems and how they all work together.

I am incredibly proud of my own journey in sports coaching and in October 2015, I was voted “A role model for women’s coaching”, which is a great honour.

• Indian Head Massage –

In the summer of 2016, I won an amazing award, “Star award for volunteering” and was asked by England Athletics to become a Mental Health Ambassador for Essex, so I am totally honoured to be carrying out this role and I’m looking forward to making a difference to people’s lives in so many ways.

As a family, we use the oils every single day, as do many of my athletes, for protecting our immune systems, aches and pains, holidays and many for uplifting purposes.

I also have safeguarding and CRB (criminal records bureau checks) training and documentation and these are updated on a regular basis. 6

I have also completed various different training courses in the use of essential oils to support my sports coaching and can help and advise in the following areas:

To help calm and relax the whole body in a mindful way using techniques to the shoulders, hands, face and head.

Its my mission to help as many people as I possibly can with their health and wellness and to empower them in a more natural way, coming from the heart.

Is this the year you sparkle in your Little Black Dress? Yes, we are going to mention the C word, the Christmas party season is just around the corner! IMAGINE right now being 2 stone lighter, and YES it can be done. We have all heard the saying when I put my mind to it, well that’s exactly where hypnotherapy comes in, it works by not just focusing the mind but also helping deal with the root of the issues where bad habits are formed. We all know that to lose weight you have to burn more calories than you take in. Hypnotherapy works because we go to the root of the issue – the bit of the mind telling you to eat that piece of chocolate.

“Hypnotherapy is about modifying deeply entrenched behaviours to bring about positive changes working with your subconscious mind to change your life. Forget all that stuff that you have seen on stage. It is not about making people do something strange on a stage.” “The key to hypnotherapy” says Linda “is wanting to change and having an open mind to the sessions. Often weight has been gained over a number of years so to train yourself to unlearn bad habits when it comes to eating may take a little while. Normally people start to see and feel changes within a couple of sessions.” “People get very real and positive results from incorporating hypnotherapy into their weight loss plans unfortunately it does not mean they can ditch the diets. But the one thing Hypnosis does is make it easier to really believe you can do it and get back in control of your life once and for all, and stop the yo yo dieting many of us know.”

Garden View There are some flowers I love because they are show-stoppers, others because of their evocative scent, and some because they are unusual. Michaelmas daisies don’t tick any of those boxes, but I love them anyway. They are bright, cheerful, and completely undemanding - at home in the poorest, driest soils, and bees and butterflies love them!

The gardener credited with popularising the Michaelmas daisy was Ernest Ballard. Many of the varieties he cultivated are still available and bear the names of his family members. “Ada Ballard” is named for his sister and is lavender blue, “Marie Ballard” is a pretty pale blue double bloom named for his wife. He is also responsible for “Prosperity” and “Peace”, rose-pink and deep mauve respectively, which he named straight after the First World War.

Daisy Daisy

They get their common name from their flowering period, which peaks at Michaelmas, the feast of St. Michael on September 5th, though they will carry on flowering well into late autumn. This means they are great for injecting colour into borders which can start to look a little washedout and dreary in late summer. Until the mid-nineties, Michaelmas daisies were all known scientifically as asters, but then some were reclassified. Look out for the name Symphyotrichum, as many popular varieties now carry that name instead.

If you want a tallish variety suitable for the middle of the border, try “Little Carlow” which grows to about 90cm and produces masses of violet-blue blooms. One of my favourites for the back of the border is “Calliope” which has striking black elegant stems that reach heights of 2m, smothered in delicate lilac flowers. A good small variety is “Beggarten” which is pale blue, compact and clump-forming. “Tonga” is also smaller and is a lovely deep purple which looks great in a container. Although they are not high-maintenance plants Michaelmas daisies benefit from being cut down to ground level in late autumn and covered in a good mulch of well-rotted organic matter.

Courgette Gratin A great way to use up the glut of courgettes around at this time of year Preparation time: 20 mins Cooking time: 30 mins Serves 4

Ingredients

Method

2 tbsp olive oil

Preheat the oven to 200C/Fan 180C/Gas 6

800g/1lb 12oz courgettes, sliced into 5mm/¼in rounds

Place the olive oil in a heavy large, lidded frying pan over a low heat. When hot add the courgettes and herbs and season with salt and pepper.

A few sprigs of thyme A few basil leaves 100ml/3½fl oz crème fraîche 50ml/2fl oz milk 1 tsp plain flour 75g/2½oz Gruyère or similar cheese, grated Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cover the pan and cook gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the courgettes have softened slightly but still have a little bite. Transfer the courgette and herb mixture to an ovenproof dish. Whisk together the crème fraîche, milk and flour in a bowl and season with salt. Pour the resulting mixture over the courgettes. Don’t worry if there is not enough to submerge the courgettes as the mixture will bubble up when cooking. Sprinkle over the Gruyère cheese. Bake in the oven for around 25 minutes, or until brown and bubbling. Serve as a side dish, or as a light supper with crusty bread and a green salad. Note: Gruyère is a wonderfully melty Swiss cheese but if you can’t find it try Emmental, Beaufort, Jarlsberg or Comté.
