21,500 Copies Per Month We find ourselves with our last edition of 2015. It’s been another great year!

We would like to thank all our readers, contributors and advertisers.

You are all aware that LINK-MAG reaches more doors than any other local media. Our place in the community means that we can reach out to more people than ever to make sure this Christmas is enjoyed by all, however you celebrate it at this time.

Our next edition will be a joint Jan/Feb issue. As always it will be out later in January as we take a well earned break. But don’t be fooled – we will still be working behind the scenes to re-launch our website with a brand new look. We will also work on other improvements, creating new competitions, offering great print deals and making your best local magazine even better in 2016!

Look out for our 2016 Local Fundraising Calendar (details inside). It makes such a great gift and supports the local community. You can buy your copy direct from us for just £5.99, or at www.wyrecalendars.co.uk or participating outlets.

That’s me the MD signing off for 2015. Thank you for your continued support…

A Moneysaver’s Guide to

Christmas

By James Delaney

Sticking to a strict budget might not seem the most thrilling way to spend the festive season, but you’ll avoid any nasty surprises afterwards. Check out our top money saving tips...

C

hristmas is portrayed as a wonderful time of year, if the marketing people have done their jobs properly; it is a time to lavish gifts on each other, completely disregarding the consequences.

Many people have woken up with a hangover after a particularly exuberant Christmas party and asked themselves, “What have I done?”. Checking your bank balance after the Christmas festivities are over can provoke a similar reaction. January is a fairly depressing time of year as it is without making it any worse for you. Perhaps the banks should put one of those sad faces you sometimes get in texts on your statements, or the high streets should be forced to post pictures of a person pulling out a completely empty pocket.

Food

Pigging out is as big a part of the Christmas tradition as the Queen’s speech and being dragged to nativity plays. But the website lovefoodhatewaste.com states that a third of the food bought in the UK is thrown away. This is giving extra money to supermarkets that frankly they don’t need.

When you do your Christmas shopping think about the quantities of products that you realistically require, and how long a particular product will last after Christmas (turkey sandwiches for a fortnight after Christmas is likely to cause family arguments and be met with some pretty sarcastic comments).

Entertainment

If you have a large family renting a DVD will prove far cheaper than going to the cinema, and if there’s a decent film on the television even better.

Even better still get out and about and enjoy some genuinely beautiful scenery and as long as you wrap up warm many happy days can be spent with the family. Taking various bats and balls will let Dad show that he’s still got it (this usually involves showing that he can run rings around a toddler at football) and that people who just want to relax can do so in some of the nicest surroundings in the country.

Here are some tips to make this Christmas as enjoyable as ever, without the nagging doubt in the back of your mind that you’re going to seriously regret this in the Advertise Advertise youryour business businesscall call0800 0800 970 970 7687 7687oror email email info@link-mag.co.uk info@link-mag.co.uk 28morning...

Funeral Planner of the year J T Byrne Funeral Directors named regional Funeral Planner of the Year and received a nomination within the top 3 in the country.

T

hornton-Cleveleys and Fleetwood funeral director J T Byrne Funeral Directors has been named the best mid-sized funeral planner in the West Lancashire & Merseyside area and also named within the top 3 in the country at 2015’s Funeral Planner of the Year awards.

The win came during a competitive year. Run by market leading funeral plan provider Golden Charter, the awards are the biggest gathering of independent funeral directors in the UK, with this year’s event the largest ever held.

The funeral director’s John Byrne said: “We are delighted to have won this prestigious award for the fourth year running. This reflects upon the support we receive from the local community. We are proud to be at the forefront of helping families at their time of need and providing Golden Charter funeral plans.

J T Byrne are a family business supporting families.

Ronnie Wayte, Golden Charter’s Chief Executive, said: “In their 22nd year the awards are more competitive than ever before, with funeral plans continuing to grow in popularity. This award is well earned proof that J T Byrne Funeral Directors has reached a remarkable standard.”

The Funeral Planner of the Year Awards focus on the funeral planning achievements of independent funeral directors, who make up a growing majority of the funeral industry. With recent Mintel figures showing that the average price of funerals has increased 88% in the past ten years to £3,609, more people are choosing to use pre-paid funeral plans to freeze the cost of the funeral director’s services at today’s prices.

A funeral plan from your SAVE local independent upto funeral director makes £465 perfect sense With a Golden Charter funeral plan you’ll benefit from: • Protection against rising funeral costs • Reassurance for your family – no uncertainty or difficult decisions • Complete flexibility to choose the funeral you want • Guaranteed acceptance

Christmas Cooking

A festive Feast

Christmas gives friends and families a perfect excuse to come in from the cold and celebrate over plenty of delicious food! Get in to the Christmas spirit with our easy yet impressive recipes that will make this Christmas one to remember.

Roast turkey

with watercress and orange stuffing Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 3hours Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1 (4kg) oven ready turkey, giblets removed 1 onion, halved 1 lemon, halved 75g soft butter 100g watercress For the stuffing: 50g butter 1 large onion, finely chopped 2 stick celery, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed 100g watercress, chopped 50g blanched toasted hazelnuts, roughly chopped zest and juice 1 large orange 200g fresh white breadcrumbs 10ml dried thyme salt and freshly ground black pepper For the gravy 100ml sherry or dry white wine 500ml chicken stock 30ml cornflour

Method: Make the stuffing, melt the butter in a medium pan add the onion and celery and cook over a medium heat until soft and pale golden. Add the garlic and watercress, cook for a further 2 mins until the watercress is wilted.

Remove from the heat and tip into a large bowl, add the hazelnuts, orange zest and juice, breadcrumbs, thyme and plenty of freshly ground black pepper and a little salt to taste. Mix well. Leave until cold.

Preheat the oven to 190oC/ Fan 170oC Gas Mark 5.

Wash the turkey inside and out and dry with kitchen paper. Place the onion and lemon inside the cavity of the bird. Spoon the stuffing into the neck flap of the turkey, packing it in tightly, then secure the flap with cocktail sticks, or sew together.

Line a large roasting tray with two pieces of wide foil laid like a cross. Place the turkey in the centre of the foil and rub the breast and legs with the soft butter.

Season with salt and pepper.

Pull the foil up and around

the turkey to ‘tent’ the bird, sealing it at the edges. Place in the centre of the hot oven and roast for 3hrs.

Half way through the cooking time, remove the bird from the oven, loosen the foil and spoon the cooking juices over the bird to baste, reseal the foil and continue to roast.

Forty minutes before the end of cooking. Remove from the oven, fold back the foil, baste the bird with the juices again then, roast uncovered until the turkey is a lovely golden brown. Remove the bird from the oven, transfer to a board, cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes this makes carving easier.

To make the gravy, pour the hot stock into the roasting tin and use a wooden spoon to scrape away all the cooking juices that have collected on the foil

and in the tin. Then pour the liquid through a sieve into a medium pan. Place on the hob, add the sherry and bring to the boil and simmer to reduce for 10 minutes. Mix the cornflour to a smooth paste with a little cold water, then add to the gravy stirring until the gravy boils and thickens.

Transfer to a warm gravy boat and keep warm.

To present the turkey for the table, take a large warm serving platter, scatter the watercress all over the plate.

Lift the turkey from the board and arrange in the centre of the leaves. The leaves will wilt and soak up the juices from the bird as it is carved. Serve the turkey and stuffing in slices with a good portion of the wilted watercress. Serve with all your favourite seasonal vegetables.

Roast Potatoes, Parsnips and Shallots

Festive Food

with Pancetta and Bay Leaves Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 1 ½ hours Serves: 6 Ingredients: 1.5kg Potatoes, medium sized, peeled 900g parsnips, medium sized, peeled 2 tbsp plain flour 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped, plus a few sprigs 6-8 tbsp rapeseed oil 12 shallots, peeled 200g pancetta, roughly chopped 6 whole bay leaves Sea salt and black pepper www.UKshallot.com

Method: Preheat oven to 200°C/Gas 6 Cut any large potatoes in half and all of the parsnips in half lengthways, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 8 minutes or until parboiled. Meanwhile cook the parsnips in the same way in another pan for 4 minutes. Drain the potatoes well then return to the pan and cover, shake the pan to roughen the edges of the potatoes.

Drain the parsnips and toss them in the flour, chopped thyme and seasoning.

Pour the rapeseed oil into a large roasting tin and heat in the oven; you need around 1cm of oil in the tin. Add the potatoes and turn them over in the oil using a slotted spoon. Roast uncovered for 15-20 minutes, remove the tin from the oven and turn the potatoes, add the parsnips

and shallots and turn them in the oil too.

Roast for a further 35-40 minutes then turn all of the vegetables again, add the pancetta.

Increase the heat to 220°C/Gas 7 for a further 15-20 minutes, adding the thyme sprigs and bay leaves for the final 10 minutes. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and black pepper and serve immediately

Cranberry Meringue Roulade with Cointreau Orange Cream Prep time: 20 minutes Cooking time: 25 mins Serves: 8 Ingredients: For the meringue 5 eggs whites 275g caster sugar 50g flaked almonds For the filling 250g fresh cranberries 100g caster sugar Grated zest and juice of half an orange 300ml double cream 3 tbsps Cointreau Cooks Tip: For that extra wow factor decorate with chocolate holly leaves and delicious crystallised fresh cranberries. For the holly leaves paint melted chocolate onto the back of clean holly or bay leaves, allow to set in the fridge, repeat with another layer of chocolate and set again. Carefully peel off. To make crystallised cranberries, soak fresh uncooked cranberries in a sugar syrup, roll in caster sugar and allow to dry for a few hours.

34

Method: Preheat the oven to 200°C / Gas Mark 6. Line a 35cmx23cm Swiss roll tin with lightly greased baking parchment.

Whisk the egg whites until very stiff, then gradually add the sugar.

Spread the meringue into the prepared tin and sprinkle with the almonds.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes then reduce the heat to 160°C / Gas Mark 3 and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and turn almond side down on to a sheet of baking parchment, allow to cool.

To make the filling, place the cranberries in a saucepan with the sugar,

orange juice and zest and simmer until softened and syrupy. Then take off the heat and allow to cool.

When ready to assemble whisk the cream and the Cointreau until the mixture stands in soft peaks. Spread the cool cranberry mixture evenly over the roulade then spread the cream over.

Roll up from the long end fairly tightly, don’t worry if it cracks a little. Place on a serving plate and chill before serving.

To freeze: Place the filled and rolled roulade on a suitable platter, open freeze overnight then wrap in a double layer of foil. Allow to defrost slowly for several hours. www.berryworld.com

Top Tips on cooking the perfect Christmas turkey n Buy about 350/400g per portion or you will be left with lots of leftovers.

n Buy a thermometer - a turkey is safely cooked at 72C in its thickest point.

n Leave the turkey out at room temperature for a couple of hours before putting in the oven.

n Don’t use tinfoil - it dries the turkey out.

n Roast the turkey on a trivet of vegetables and the giblets this helps make a great gravy.

n Don’t truss and stuff a turkey - it adds too much cooking time and can dry out the turkey.

n Rub the turkey with lemon it’s a natural flavour enhancer and colours beautifully. n Allow the turkey once cooked to rest for a minimum of 20 minutes before carving.

n Don’t try to cook a turkey too quickly as it will dry out.

n Don’t cover with lean bacon - it just adds more salt. Use fatty streaky bacon.

n Don’t throw away the carcass - it makes a great stock, for stews and hot pots.

Days out

this Christmas

Summer is fantastic for being able to occupy your children with simply walking to the park or going onto the beach or all manner of summertime outdoor activities.

But when it comes to the colder end of the year, it can be much harder to find some days out and/or ways of enjoying the holidays as a family. Especially when the colder weather makes it difficult to want to leave the house! However, there are several UK based Winter Wonderlands to enjoy and to tempt you away from the snug indoors!

Lapland UK

46

Nothing says Christmas quite like Lapland, and the founders of Lapland UK list their mission as “making your real world magical and our magical world real.” Based in Berkshire, Mike and Alison Battle created this dream land for children in 2006 as a reaction to being disappointed with the commercial takeover of Christmas, Christmas spirit mainly being found in shops. They therefore set up a UK home for Father Christmas. Described best as a immersive theatrical experience, tours depart every 30 minutes and last three and a half hours. During this time children can go ice skating, visit Father Christmas, see the elves at work, see reindeer and huskies, and take a look inside the North Pole post office plus much more! Open from 21st November through till Christmas Eve, it’s an experience your family won’t forget with personalised invitations and an elf passport for every child. Ticket prices start at £45, and in 2015, Lapland UK is partnering the charity Rays of Sunshine.

A real Christmas treat! (www.laplanduk.co.uk)

Winter Wonderland A visit to Hyde Park between the 20th November and 3rd January between 10am10pm every day (except Christmas Day) will lead you to, as the name suggests, a Winter Wonderland! Included on the site are an ice rink, circus shows, Bar Ice, Santa Land, the Giant Wheel, Christmas Markets, fun fair rides and daily free live music. With something on for every member of the family, it’s a great place to please children and adults of all ages. Tickets can be purchased for each attraction and need to be obtained in advance, with family tickets starting from around £20.00 and adult prices averaging between £7-£10. The best time to visit is midweek where you’ll find a slightly slower and less chaotic pace and with so much on offer, you’ll easily fill the day! (www.hydepark winterwonderland.com)

Hogwarts Tour

The Harry Potter franchise have several iconic Christmas scenes and the Harry Potter Warner Bros studio tour is making full use of decorations and actual props and items from the films including golden partridges, baubles and presents the characters received in the films! Tickets start at £23.50 (children under 4 go free) and can be booked online. Even if the Christmas season doesn’t bring snow, the magic of Christmas will be kept well and truly alive inside the magical world of Harry Potter! (www.wbstudiotour.co.uk)

National Trust and English Heritage For a more nostalgic Christmas feel, check out one of the National Trust or English Heritage sites for a variety of Christmassy events and activities. With prices starting from free to visit some of the properties and gardens throughout the UK; wrap up and make the most of a beautiful Wintry walk, or visit a specific event. Soak up the 1930’s Christmas at Castle Drogo in Devon, take part in the Tudor Festivities at Kenilworth Castle in Warwickshire or check out the programme of theatrical events and carol concerts taking part at one of the many UK sites. (www.nationaltrust.org.uk; www.english-heritage.org.uk)

Five Acres Nature Reserve Travel to Truro in Cornwall to ensure not necessarily that your Christmas is white, but most definitely green! For a suggested donation of £5 per child, on the 10th December, children can visit Father Christmas in his outdoor grotto, before learning a bit more about an eco friendly Christmas including making environmentally friendly decorations to take back home with you. (www.cornwallwildlifetrust.org.uk ) And if a green Christmas is important to you, check out www.forestry.gov.uk to find out where you can source your Christmas tree from a sustainable managed forest.

Christmas Markets The traditionally European Christmas markets pop up during the festive season all across the UK, with more and more towns and cities having at least a small display. Free to enter, soak up the seasonal atmosphere by walking round themed stalls with a plethora of exciting products on offer; sample a hot wine or hot chocolate and taste a crepe or German sausage to fuel your visit. Plenty of the bigger Christmas Markets also offer fairground attractions to keep the kids entertained. Find one near you at www.christmasmarkets.com/UK.html.

advice on staying warm and well this Winter Over the last ten years a staggering quarter of a million older people have died from the cold.

Research shows that exposure to the cold can have a devastating impact on the health of older people, who are particularly vulnerable to the impact of low temperatures. As people get older it takes longer to warm up which can be bad for people’s health. The cold thickens blood and increases blood pressure, and breathing in cold air can increase the risk of chest infections.

The good news is that preparing effectively for the cold weather can literally save lives. That’s why this winter Age UK will be working hard to remind older people and carers of the importance of taking simple precautions to stay warm and well.

The Charity is urging people to call Age UK Advice for free on 0800 169 65 65, and order a free copy of the Charity’s ‘Winter Wrapped Up’ guide which contains a free thermometer and provides tips on staying warm in winter. Alternatively the guide can be downloaded from www. spreadthewarmth.org.uk where contact details for local Age UKs can also be found.

AGE UK’S TOP TIPS FOR STAYING WARM AND WELL THIS WINTER l 64°F (18°C) is the ideal temperature for your bedroom and 70°F (21°C) is the ideal temperature for your living room. Check your thermostat or use a room thermometer to monitor temperature l Keep your bedroom window shut on at night.

Breathing in cold air can increase the risk of chest infections. l Stay active and when you are indoors try not to sit still for more than an hour, if you can get up.

Walk around or make a hot drink. l Eat well. It’s important to eat well, especially in the winter. Have at least one hot meal a day and have regular hot drinks, as they help to keep you warm. Also stock up on basic food items in case of a cold snap.

Caroline Abrahams, Charity Director at Age UK, said: “Although it sounds like common sense, advising people on how to stay warm in winter can actually make all the difference. Many people are not fully aware of how the cold affects our bodies differently as we age and how, if we don’t take sensible precautions, it can very quickly put our lives in danger.

“Winter can be an incredibly daunting and difficult time for older people, especially those who live alone or are housebound, so it’s vital that we do all we can to help them prepare for the colder weather. We urge anyone who is concerned about keeping warm and well over winter to get in touch with their local Age UK to find out how we can help them.”

Age UK’s Campaign for Warm Homes For many years, Age UK has argued that improving energy efficiency in people’s homes is the long term to solution to the high levels of excess winter deaths, winter health problems and fuel poverty amongst older people in England.

Due to the closure of one of the Government’s flagship energy efficiency programme - the Green Deal - currently there is very limited support for anyone who wants to install measures to make their home warmer.

That is why the Campaign for Warm Homes is urgently calling on the Government to reform its energy efficiency programme to enable all older people to live in a warm home. For more information about the campaign and contacting your local MP, please go to www.ageuk.org.uk/ warmhomes

the dANISh GIrL

In the winter of 1820, the New England whaling ship Essex was assaulted by something no one could believe: a whale of mammoth size and will, and an almost human sense of vengeance. The real-life maritime disaster would inspire Herman Melville’s Moby-Dick. But that told only half the story. “Heart of the Sea” reveals the encounter’s harrowing aftermath, as the ship’s surviving crew is pushed to their limits and forced to do the unthinkable to stay alive.

Braving storms, starvation, panic and despair, the men will call into question their deepest beliefs, from the value of their lives to the morality of their trade, as their captain searches for direction on the open sea

A film based on a book by David Ebershoff the film is a love story inspired by the lives of Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener. The film explores their marriage and work as Lili navigates the journey as a transgender pioneer.

CAST: Eddie Redmayne, Alicia Vikander

DVD/BLU-RAY 21St december 2015 mISS FISher’S mUrder mYSterIeS SerIeS 3 The very glamorous lady detective, Miss Phryne Fisher (Essie Davis, The Matrix Revolutions), is back – careering through the back streets of 1928 Melbourne, fighting injustice with her pearl-handled

pistol and her dagger-sharp wit.

Based on the bestselling novels of Kerry Greenwood, this third series of the much loved Miss Fisher comes to DVD following its successful broadcast on TV’s Alibi channel.

The third series of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries continues to follow the glamorous lady detective as she solves crimes with panache and valour alongside Detective Inspector Jack Robinson. Together the dynamic duo enter the magical world of the magician’s assistant; fly high at the RAAF; swim in the murky undercurrent with the Italian crime organisation the Camorra; and become a little too well acquainted with the tantalising tennis crowd. Phryne throws herself into investigations with a bravado many men would struggle to muster but is surprised by the unexpected arrival of her roguish, philandering father. As she looks to put old ghosts to rest Lord Fisher still manages to rile her with his outrageous behaviour. And will all run smoothly for Dot and Hugh in the build up to their big day?

This suitably lustrous DVD set, rich in the stylish wit and charm of the series, includes all 8 episodes from the third series and lashings of Behind the Scenes features filmed on location with cast and crew.

Release dates correct at time of publication but are subject to change without prior notice.
