........................................

.........................

1. Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a 900g loaf tin and line with a long strip of baking parchment. Cream 175g butter and 175g sugar until light and fluffy. Beat 3 of the eggs and pour in, a little at a time, mixing after each addition. Sift together 140g flour, 1⁄2 tsp baking powder and the cocoa, then fold into the butter mixture along with the almonds. Combine 100ml milk, 11⁄2 tsp vanilla and all the food colouring and add to the batter, then mix until evenly coloured.

1.

2 x 175g unsalted butter, softened

2.

2 x 175g golden caster sugar

3.

6 large egg

4.

2 x 140g self-raising flour, sifted

5.

2 x ½ tsp baking powder

6.

Baking powder

7.

3 tbsp cocoa powder

8.

2 x 85g ground almond

9.

2 x 100ml milk

10. 3 tsp vanilla extract

2. Pour into the prepared loaf tin and bake for 1 hr 10 mins until a skewer comes out clean.

Cool for 10 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack. When cool, cut the cake into 4cm slices. Using a 5cm cutter, stamp out the hearts (save any remaining cake for another treat).

3. Repeat step 1 to make a second cake mixture – you won’t have cocoa or food colour in this batch. Pour 3⁄4 of the mixture into the prepared loaf tin. Push the bottoms of the hearts into the batter in a tightly packed row.

Spoon over the remaining cake mixture, covering as much of the hearts as possible. bake for 1 hr or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool for 10 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. For the icing, gently heat all the ingredients over a low heat until combined. Leave to cool, then chill until needed. Spread over the cooled cake and decorate with the sprinkles, if using.

Will keep for 3 days stored in a cake tin.

Moody Makeup???

BEAUTY If your anything like me you may be feeling a little deflated this time of year, I often put my faith in little everyday things to brighten my mood, one of them being my makeup.

My job gives me a regular dose of evidence that you can actually paint on a smile, looking good will instantly make you feel good, try it!

The range of shades you can purchase is seemingly limitless with one to suit every type of face and personality, choosing a colour at the beginning of the day may reflect the mood your feeling and if this is the case then why not take control? If makeup makes you feel good about yourself, I say, "Embrace it!, make it work for you!"

Summer is in the distance so shake off your makeup bag and delve in deep, pull out all those colours you haven't found the courage to try!

In my opinion there are no rules to makeup as long as you look and feel good but try some of these colour combinations to get you started. *If you are a medium to pale skin tone try a dark green shadow under and above lash line with a fine brush.

With a soft brush take the green shadow into the socket line in a sweep and then down to the outer corner slightly beyond and blend on the edge of the lid. Next use a brown or gold and fill in the rest of the lid blending as you go.

A dark green eye pencil applied in the water line will give intensity and try using a green coat of mascara over black to bring out the colours. *For medium to darker skin tones you can follow the same technique but change the colours, use dark aubergines and plums for the lash lines and sockets and fill in with pale violet or pink, adding a little plum colour into dark eyebrows can look fabulous too!

Makeup The Amount Of Sleep You Get! Hydration is the key to looking bright eyed and bushy tailed so drink plenty of water and use a good quality moisturizer, but sometimes no matter how much sleep we get we still wake up wit dark circles and puffy eyes.

Thank goodness for make up..... an illuminator can be applied under the eyes to lighten, brighten and reflect light, these usually come in a pen style container and have a small brush on the end.

Applying a pale pink or pale beige pencil to the inner water lines of the eyes will disguise redness and give a "wide awake" effect.

Concealers are ideal for covering up dark circles but try to buy one with a twin benefit, use one with added spfs or anti oxidants for protection.

Give your self a little flush,brush on a rosy pink blush to the apples of your cheeks, this will instantly perk your look.

A white eye pencil can give a Major lift to eyes when applied to the inner corners, just dab on a small amount and blend into the lash line.

Curl your lashes, this simple trick will make your eyes look bigger and wide awake.

For ultimate freshness, dust on illuminating fine glitter dust, tops of cheek bones is the perfect place for a glowing effect!

Recommended/Face Stockholm Magic Wand/Demagogical Total Eye Care *Tip*Relieve puffiness by gently pressing your finger tips under your eye, look up and flutter your lashes for 30 seconds!

Tackling winter blues with exercise..

Yes, it's cold and dark outside, but don't let this get you down.

Unless we all move to Florida or the sunnier stretches of Australia, we're stuck with this meterorlogical phenomenon every year. A simple but effective strategy exists in the shape of exercise, which studies show can improve our moods, sleeping patterns, energy levels and negate the drop in feel good hormones we usually endure from November through to February.

As we indulge in festive feasts and consume more calories to fight off the cold snaps, we must take care to maintain our fitness levels and keep a keen eye on our waistlines.

By incorporating light to moderate exercise sessions 2 to 3 times a week, it's possible to stay mobile, flexible and full of energy, which in turn enables an easier transition into spring.

Try cardiovascular workouts such as outdoor or indoor runs and even long rambling walks to burn off the calories and heighten your sense of wellbeing. Resistance based fitness programmes are a weather beating way to stay strong and lean throughout winter, as the wind and rain have little or no effect when your in the

weight rack or under a barbell.

If extra motivation is required, enlist in a local fitness centre, or take a friend / work colleague into training with you. Another aid in battling the dark is to wear brightly coloured sports kits, so ditch the brown fleece and purchase a red or yellow replacement, to help in preparation for workouts.

Try fluorescent coloured threads or gym shoes to stay visible to others if outside and don't forget to drink plenty of water, as we can dehydrate just as quick in winter.

If your suffering from a cold, it's still ok to exercise, albeit with less intensity that normal, however it's equally advisable to avoid strenuous activity if you have a fever (body temperature of 38 degrees or higher) which could lead to even worse health presentations.

"Enjoy staying fit and if all else fails, book a flight and get a tan‌ Good luck.

FEBRUARY THE 10 BEST DESTINATIONS FOR HOLIDAY SUN February can be as bleak a concept as January in terms of the European weather. But with school half-term holidays falling the last week of the month, parents have the opportunity to whisk their children to a destination where the sun shines in earnest.

This may cause crowded beaches in popular places, but with the Caribbean at its hottest and driest, there is plenty of time for travellers without offspring to find their own escape zone.

New Orleans Is there a better time than February to visit the Big Easy? Not only is the raw humidity of the Louisiana summer yet to awaken, but the citys’ most famous carnival, Mardi Gras, dominates the month. February 28 will be the big day of celebration in 2017, but you can expect a full week of parades, music, razzmatazz and merriment on St Charles Avenue and in the French Quarter in the build-up to Fat Tuesday.

New Zealand The twin-island nation on the opposite side of the planet is rarely an obvious choice for travellers in search of sunshine – but there is much to be said for a tour of New Zealand as February clicks into gear.

This is the last month of pure summer in this portion of the Southern Hemisphere (the equivalent of August in Europe) – and if autumn is just starting to flicker upon the trees of the South Island, this only adds to the romance of a road trip.

St Lucia St Lucia is one of the Caribbeans’ most coveted destinations – and with good reason. Its west coast is home to some of the planets’ loveliest beaches, including the golden strip of Anse Chastanet – while the twin volcanic bluffs of Gros and Petit Piton offer hiking and climbing challenges, as well as wonderful photos. All of this is served up in temperatures which cling to the upper twenties Celsius, not least in the dry season of December-May.

Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee.

But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service North Lincoln &

the surrounding villages and manager Paul Clews agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

HOUSE TO HOME

FEBRUARY Create the kitchen of your dreams with these top trends for 2017 Whether your space is a compact galley in a bijoux apartment or a grand open-plan room in a family home, investing a new kitchen can be exciting and daunting in equal measures. It’s also a major expense, so it’s important to get it right first time.

There area so many choices to make it can be confusing so to help, we’ve discovered the very latest looks for kitchens – from new twists on classic Shaker to the latest utilitarian loft-look – to show that whatever your taste, budget or space constraints, there is a design out here that’s a prefect fit for you. So read on and be inspired to create the kitchen of your dreams.

Industrial texture As an antidote to today’s modern fitted kitchens, industrial style is all about practical cooking spaces with a back-tobasics feel. Inspired by urban loft apartments and reinvented warehouses, its key elements include exposed architectural features, such as steel beams, bare-brick walls and reclaimed factory lighting, combined with touches of brushed copper and gold.

Show of your walls Take inspiration for splashbacks and walls from materials found at old railways or factories – bare brick, unpolished concrete or metro tiles in a brickwork pattern will all add character. Go for grout in a grey or stone-coloured putty to really accentuate the pattern, even if you choose white tiles.

Mix up your materials Create impact by pairing natural materials that have patina and texture, such as wood and marble, with sleeker, glossier finishes. Understated cabinets in neutral shades will let distressed timbers, concrete surfaces and rugged-hewn stone really stand out. Even butler’s sinks and other traditional buys can look right at home here – simply add an industrial twist, such as exposed copper pipes and taps, for a factory-style update.

Get the right light Reclaimed lighting, often featuring oversized metal or opaque glass shades, is a fairly simple way to add utilitarian chic to a kitchen. Whether they’ve been salvaged from an old factory or they’re authentic-looking reproductions, industrial-style lights are often a budgetfriendly choice. If you’re buying originals then embrace Add metal elements the chipped paint or tarnished surfaces – the more Non-porous and widely available, metal’s a key material battered, the better. Simply hang them above an island choice for kitchens. What’s more, its long association with or dining table to bring light and style to your space. construction makes it the perfect partner for a contemporary industrial look. Steel worktops or unit fronts Pattern and colour are durable and easy to clean, while brushed metal will It seems that the days when we all wanted to play it safe give any scheme that lived-in look. Elsewhere, add with decoration are gone. With more people improving metallic touches with stainless-steel appliances, zinc rather than moving, we’ve taken the opportunity to add seating, wirework storage and wire cage bulbs. some personality into our homes. Kitchen makers have taken this new-found bravery on board and you can now buy kitchen cabinets in a huge array of hues, textures and patterns. While blues and greys are still very much in evidence it’s to the darker sides of this spectrum that we’re turning, with indigo, navy and graphite grey proving popular. If your style is more understated, then rich shades such as olive green, aubergine and graphite are a good choice.

MOTORING REVIEW

FEBRUARY

Overview If you want a ’van with wow factor, look no further!

A regular winner of the innovation gong at Practical Motorhome’s Motorhome of the Year awards, French manufacturer Chausson has a reputation for pushing the boundaries of motorcaravan design. And the newfor-2017 Chausson 630 showcases yet more genuinely innovative thinking, in the form of individual drop-down twin single beds over the lounge.

The 630 is one of 18 the Trigano brand is offering in the UK this year, 16 of which, including this, are low­profile coachbuilts. All have licence-friendly MTPLMs of no more than 3500kg. And all come with a seven-year warranty. Pricing for this model starts at £45,510 on the Ford Transit in entry-level Flash trim, or £46,480 on the Fiat Ducato. Add £3060 to get Welcome trim, seen here.

On the road No matter which base vehicle you choose, you’ll get a Euro 6-compliant 130bhp engine paired with a sixspeed manual gearbox, a 2.0-litre unit in the Ford or a 2.3 in the Fiat. A driver’s airbag, ABS and ASR (antislipping) are all standard on both. In addition, ESP and a hill-start assist function come as standard on the Ford.

Lounging & dining Enter via the offside habitation door and prepare to be wowed. The living space is bright, with especially snazzy upholstery, but this is a great space in which to spend time. A backlit mirror and hooks are on the left as you enter, as is a useful grabhandle. To your right is the generous parallel lounge. You could comfortably seat four, or swivel the cab seats so two more can join in. The space is inundated with light from the opening panoramic window over the cab, and from the side windows with attractive Roman blinds.

At night, a host of twinkling LEDs takes over, including some recessed in the underside of the drop-down beds, plus strips on the surrounding shelves and on the seat bases. And there’s more! At the rear of the nearside sofa is a surface that you could put a cushion on for an extra seat. It has drawer underneath it and a shelved cupboard on the wall behind it, so it won’t be comfortable for more than just perching. There’s another cupboard in the end of the offside sofa.

The TV mounting point with all the relevant connections is by the fridge/freezer.

Kitchen The fresh, modern design continues in the Chausson Welcome 630’s nearside kitchen. As you’d expect from a Continental ’van, it’s not exactly massive. As standard on 630s destined for the UK (which our test ’van wasn’t), you get a three-burner hob with a splashguard to the left and a grill or oven/grill, depending on the trim level.

The circular stainless-steel sink has a sleek, square, chromed tap, but it’s not awfully wide. Opposite is a 175-litre fridge/freezer. Storage is good, starting with two overhead lockers. Under the sink are two deep drawers, to the right of which is a third, even deeper drawer, with a cutlery drawer above. And Thanks to the hob’s glass cover and the lift­up extension flap, there should just about be sufficient worktop space.

You get a decent-sized opening window with a blind, accompanied by a quartet of square LED lights stacked up its left-hand side, as well as a ventilator/extractor. There’s a strip An unusual touch is the rail above the splashguard with hooks so you can hang tea towels or utensils here.

Sleeping The show-stopping feature of the Chausson 630 has to be its individual drop-down twin single beds over the lounge. At the touch of a button, a bed motors down from the ceiling. You can drop one, or the other, or even both. For both you’ll need to lower the pedestal table, but if just the nearside one is deployed, you can fold half the table away and there’s still somewhere to rest a drink.

Washroom Across the rear of the habitation area lies the washroom, with a good-sized separate shower cubicle to your right.

On the other side of the Chausson 630 is the toilet, a rectangular sink and a backlit mirror. Two overhead cupboards (one of which is shelved) and a third under the sink should provide ample storage.

Storage With a user payload of 400kg, the Chausson 630 has a selection of inventive places to stash touring kit, some of which we’ve already mentioned. Instead of overhead lockers in the lounge, shelves run the full length of the walls. There’s also a big shelved storage space behind mirrored doors between the two halves of the washroom. This sits above a simply massive rear garage that has three doors, is heated and has a 12V socket.

Equipment The Chausson 630 comes with diesel heating and LED lighting. There’s also a watertight, lockable door on the exterior that provides access to the water and electricity. As well as the already-mentioned items, it’s good to see the standard­fit twin USB ports over the cab, so you can keep your devices topped up on tour.

Another thoughtful addition is the blue, built­in, floor­ level LED lighting. Not only does it look good, it will help you find your way around after dark, too.

With her only allies, David (Theo James) and his father Thomas (Charles Dance), she must stop the eternal war between Lycans and Vampires, even if it means she has to make the ultimate sacrifi ce.

SHERLOCK

FIFTY SHADES DARKER

The thrilling series four fi nale hits the big screen with exclusive additional content. Exclusive content starts at 20:45, the episode starts at 21:00. One of the most eagerly anticipated TV events of the year, the three-part fourth season of the BBC’s brilliant ‘Sherlock’reaches its explosive climax with this ominously titled episode.

Naturally, the Beeb is playing its cards very close to its chest when it comes to revealing plot details, so as to avoid spoiling the surprise. But that hasn’t stopped fans speculating on what fate has in store for Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Dr. Watson (Martin Freeman). Cumberbatch and series co-creator Steven Moffat have also hinted in interviews that the Final Problem will prove to be pretty momentous. One thing is for certain: the best way to enjoy this edge-of-seat, feature-length climax is on the big screen at Cineworld in the company of equally excited fellow fans. As an extra bonus, it’s preceded by 15 minutes of additional content that’s exclusive to cinemagoers.

Daunted by the singular tastes and dark secrets of the handsome, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle Independent Publishing House (SIP); but desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sexual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades.

While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life.

All about the sex.

Information & Advice you need to help you enjoy later life Have you begun to feel recently that you could do with a little extra help around the house – perhaps with the housework or gardening, or doing the shopping?

Or maybe you’re finding it a bit more of a struggle to get around your home? If activities like getting in and out of the bath or up and down the stairs are more difficult than in the past, now’s the time to explore what help you can get at home.

It can be hard to admit we struggle with everyday tasks, but getting extra help allows you to live safely and independently at home for longer.

There are lots of ways you can get help at home – from hiring a cleaner and making alterations and adaptations to your home through to getting a care assessment from your local council and employing a carer. There may be financial assistance available, through benefits, grants or the local authority. This guide gives you an overview of the range of help available, how to access it and different ways to pay for it.

Help with DIY and gardening Getting round to doing DIY or small jobs around the home can be a chore whatever your age, so ask your local Age UK if they provide a handy person service. Over 70 local Age Uks operate handy person services across much of the country.

These services offer older people extra help with small practical jobs - from putting up curtain rails to installing energy efficient light bulbs or putting on a door chain.

These are usually charged-for services, and the cost depends on the nature of the work required tools.

As far as possible, the information given in this guide is applicable across England and Wales. In Northern Ireland contact Age NI and in Scotland contact Age Scotland for more information.

Help getting out and about If getting out to the shops is tricky, see if a volunteer From your local Age UK or the Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) (see page 33) can accompany you or even do your shopping for you. You can order shopping online from most supermarkets and have it delivered for a small fee: this is particularly useful if you need heavy things.

Perhaps a relative or friend could order your shopping for you, if you’re not confident using a computer. And if you’d like to get online, why not contact your local Age UK or UK Online Centre to see if it runs a computer course?

A little extra help at home

Getting help at home

Sometimes just a little help with the housework or gardening can let us enjoy living at home without worrying about how we’ll get everything done.

There may be a local community transport service such as Dial-a-Ride. This is a free door-to-door minibus service for people who can’t use public transport.

Drivers are trained to help people who have mobility problems. You’ll be sharing the minibus with others who may be dropped off at destinations along the way, so your journey is likely to take longer than if you were traveling alone.

Ask your local council if they offer this service or Visit www.gov.uk/community-transport-servicesShopmobility.

You could also contact your local Age UK to find out about other transport schemes which may be available in your area.

Help with cleaning If you could do with some help with cleaning start by making a list of what you’d like a cleaner to do and how many hours you can afford to pay for one.

As charges will vary, you could ask around to find out the average wages for cleaners in your area.

To find someone you can trust, you could: ● ask your neighbours or local friends for a recommendation ● ask your local Age UK if they provide a cleaning service or ● have a list of cleaners ● contact your local council to see if they have a list of ● approved cleaning agencies.

If you’d like help with your washing and ironing, see if your cleaner can do this. Or ask your dry cleaners if they have a delivery service or special rates for older people. Some people offer ironing services and may be able to pick up your ironing and deliver it back to you.

Valentine's Day History

Every February we celebrate Valentine's Day by giving flowers, candy and cards to those we love. We do this in honor of St. Valentine. You may be wondering, "Who is St. Valentine"? Time to brush up on your Valentine's history!

There are different ideas as to where or how the celebration of Valentine's Day began. The Roman's celebrated a festival called Lupercalia on February 15.

This festival was held to ward off the danger of wolves to their flocks and honoured their God Lupercalia.

Some people think that Valentine's Day is based on this festival.

Another legend is that St. Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. During that time, there was an Emperor who ruled Rome named Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married and outlawed marriage for all young men serving in his army. Supposedly, Valentine, decided this decree just wasn't fair and chose to marry young couples secretly.

When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine's actions he had him imprisoned, and later put to death.

Some stories say that the young couples, who Valentine had married, gave flowers and letters to Valentine when they visited him in the prison.

In a slightly different version of the legend, Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his jailor's daughter. Before he was put to death he sent the first 'valentine' to his love when he wrote her a letter and signed it 'Your Valentine'. These words are still used on cards today.

62

Perhaps we'll never know the true identity and story behind the man named St. Valentine, but this much is for sure‌ February has been the month to celebrate love for a long time, dating way back to the Middle Ages. In fact, Valentine's Day ranks second only to Christmas in number of greeting cards sent.

Another famous person from Valentine's Day that you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin cupido, "desire"). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.
