Christmas Thoughts LET CHRISTMAS BE JUST WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE!

I

t’s hard to believe we’re here in December already, just a few shopping days away from the big event and probably already embroiled in the preChristmas parties at work and arranging the sort of things with friends that are the essence of the festive period.

Perhaps that’s a slightly sad indictment of the fact that for most people Christmas is no longer a religious festival and that carols have become Christmas songs rather than the hymns whose origins lie in what has previously been seen as the greatest story ever told!

But in the modern democratic and freespeaking society that’s no longer as important as it once was because the meaning of Christmas is now very much up to the individual. Some of us will still head out on Christmas Eve to take part in - and enjoy - Midnight Mass, feeling it is still as relevant and important as it has always been. The majority, however, will be totally unaware that it is even taking place.

We nevertheless believe that the fact that Christmas is undoubtedly a season where regardless of their religious beliefs - most people tend towards a strong feeling of love, goodwill and generosity to their fellow man still makes it the nicest time of the year.

And that is why we should actually be

thankful for all those little things that may well irritate at other times of the year.

You should be pleased, for instance, to come in from a hard day’s work to find your wife has cooked one of your least favourite meals because it means she’s at home with you and not out with somebody else.

Your wife, on the other hand should be glad to see you sprawling potato-like on the couch because it means you’re not out propping up some bar.

Take no notice of the teenager who complains about having to do the dishes because it means they are at home and not out on the streets causing problems.

You should be happy to pay your taxes because it means you have employment.

You should be grateful for all those Christmas cards you have to send because it means you have plenty of friends.

You should be thrilled to hear the alarm go off in the morning because it means you’re alive.

So many things that should make you feel happy to be able to enjoy Christmas in your own way.

We sincerely hope you do enjoy it and would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the compliments of a wonderful season.

A very happy Christmas to you all.

In The Garden

April Gardening Tips

A

s Christmas approaches, our to-do lists don’t often contain gardening tasks at this time of year.

Luckily, you can take it a little easier this month without any risk to your garden; maintenance is the most important thing until spring. Of course, if you are looking to keep up the pace of your gardening, don’t worry, there are still plenty of smaller jobs to do!

Clearing borders of dead or dying plants helps create tidy displays, showing off those still in bloom. The spent debris makes a great soil improver for next year, so get it rotting down.

Prune harshly to improve the shape of your trees and shrubs, look out for flaws such as split or broken branches, and make sure you cut them back so they are healthier next year.

down and used to rejuvenate your soil with nutrients. If you’re looking for something a little more natural, green manures like clover or rye are great for improving soil nature’s way!

Mulch requires very little work, and is great for applying to the roots of established or flowering plants. Let earth worms do all the hard work; they will eventually drag and blend the mulch into top soil.

Don’t let ivy be a pest; it may seem like any other climbing plant usefully covering your bare walls and fences. Unfortunately no matter how much you try and keep it in bounds, ivy always has a way of escaping! It has a habit of smothering other plants and annoying neighbours, so make sure you keep cutting back those escaping shoots or get rid of it altogether.

Don’t rely on bought garden compost; it’s the perfect time of year to create your own!

Keep any plant cuttings and kitchen scraps, mix them together and allow them to rot down ready to be used next spring.

Be aware of pests and diseases, one of the most prevalent diseases this time of year is root rot. Stop root rot by placing pots in the rain shadow of a wall or fence and lift them off the ground on pot feet or large stones to let the moisture drain out.

Leaves and manure are great for creating an alternative to compost; leaf mould can act as soil coverage during those harsh winter months and manure can be rotted

Prevent falling leaves from going near the base of your roses to stop the spreading of rose black spot. Take hardwood cuttings.

Propagate a wide range of fruits trees and

LOCAL ANSWER shrubs by taking hardwood cuttings from healthy plants in winter.

Protection December is all about protection for your plants and garden wildlife.

Protect ponds by catching any fallen leaves with a small net and trimming off any dying or tatty foliage so they don’t pollute the water. You may wake up on those winter mornings to find your pond covered in ice, fish can withstand such low temperatures but can’t survive too much in the water.

Float a tennis ball on the surface to stop ice taking over your pond and keep your fish and pond wildlife safe!

RUBBISH REMOVALS

HAN T R E P A CHE SKIP A G N I R HI If you are extremely worried about some of your tender plants, the best thing to do is move them inside when the weather becomes more severe. The cold weather doesn’t just affect your plants, don’t let your containers crack as the frost starts to set in, wrap them with bubble polythene or fleece.

If you have lots of containers pack them together and wrap protection around as a group. Your garden furniture is also at risk, cover furniture with polythene sheeting to protect it from becoming damp and possibly rusty.

Remember to replenish and add water for birds to drink out of. Watch out for bird nests when pruning. Many gardeners assume that birds aren’t hungry when they look plump; birds actually fluff up their feathers to minimize the loss of heat from their bodies when they are seriously hungry.

Motoring

DO MOTORISTS REALLY NEED CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR THEIR CARS?

W

ith new-date number plates coming in March and September there’s a tendency for new car releases to aim for those dates to ensure that new car buyers will have the best of both worlds - the latest model combined with the latest number plate!

So, with Christmas just around the corner we thought we would abandon the normal car review and instead look at the kind of presents traditionally given to car enthusiasts and examine exactly what sort of things people will buy them aimed at their four-wheeled pride and joy.

It’s an easy cop-out for people who don’t have a great deal of imagination so all you drivers out there will be receiving anything from the potentially back-breaking tin of ‘Car Wax and Shine’ to a massive sponge that’s intended to make car washing infinitely easier. In my case, both presents would join last year’s offerings in the cupboard in the garage, destined to spend the next twelve months unopened on the shelf.

Other pretty pointless offerings will be Christmas tree shaped ‘smelly’ bottles that are supposed to make your car smell like a pine tree, a pair of fluffy dice to hang from your rear view mirror and stuff to spray on your tyres so they look nice and black. In

my experience the latter is only ever used by people who are desperately trying to sell their car, and anyway, after the first two miles of your journey on a typically damp January morning the effect has already disappeared!

I have to confess that in my area one of the most advantageous aspects of the influx of Eastern European labour has been the development of car washing businesses.

For a miserable three pounds - the price of a pint in most places - I can pull into what was

the car park of a relatively nearby closeddown pub and have my car immaculately hand washed and dried by a couple of extremely hard working Romanians whose marginal grasp of the English language is irrelevant because their constant broad grins are all the communication you need.

PAGE 14 | Please mention ‘The Local Answer Ingleby Barwick’ when calling advertisers

LOCAL ANSWER Why, therefore, would I want to go out onto my drive with a bucket of water and spend an hour or so of my precious time washing the car?

I conducted a small survey among the twelve or so friends I spend Friday night in the pub with to see just how many either wash their own cars or - even more importantly - apply car wax and polish them by hand. It may be a reflection on the kind of people with whom I associate but the answer was one. And that’s only because he owns a vintage 1926 ‘Willy’s Whippet’ that he takes to many of the vintage car and motor cycle displays held around the North East each year and wants it to look its best.

Last year, Auto-trader published a list of their top ten presents for ‘Petrol-heads’ and it was a fascinating read. Their number one present was an Aston Martin Workshop Calendar priced at £16.26 that - they said - featured an Aston Martin photographed against amazing scenery or driving along an incredible road. Just a limited number were being produced. Quite understandable, really, because who but an Aston Martin owner would want one?

Their second choice was a Muc-Off Car Care Essentials Kit priced at £30 and including ‘everything you need to keep a car clean this winter.’ The £30 kit includes Frequent Wheel Wash, Ubershine car shampoo, a microfibre wash mitt, a microfibre polishing cloth and a wheel brush. It all comes in a box, but when the recipient has ripped that open, there’s a tote bag to store it in. Should look good on my garage shelf!

Third was a Goo-ey phone holder at £9.99 that can be used to hold your smartphone while in the car – it attaches to any flat glossy surface and they claim doesn’t leave a residue. I was given one once and I still can’t get rid of the marks it made!

Other weird ideas were a pair of ‘Personalised Number Plate Cufflinks’ at a mere £40 (stainless steel in a presentation box), Gran Turismo 6 at £38.99 (obviously

a computer game) and a Gear Stick Bottle Stopper & Umbrella Gift Set at £25.

Personally, I’m going to suggest to my two Romanians that they produce some gift vouchers so people can give me a proper car related present I could use all year round. Now that, I would really appreciate because the lads do a great job. So good, in fact, that I feel very inclined to give them a Christmas present myself this year.

I wonder if a big sponge and a tin of car polish would please them?

Television

CAN WE TAKE ALL THIS REALITY EXCITEMENT?

A

fter the normal dearth of populist TV during the Summer months the programme organisers have really pushed the boat out to increase their viewing figures for the run up to Christmas.

No fewer than four reality shows are currently being aired with ‘X Factor,’ ‘Strictly Come Dancing,’ ‘The Apprentice’ and ‘I’m a Celebrity’ all running at the time of writing.

Yet human nature demonstrates a fascination with people who can’t dance entering a dance competition; people who can’t sing applying to be the next Michael Buble; people who are terrified of spiders and rats agreeing to go into a jungle full of them and people who would find it hard to stack supermarket shelves properly wanting to team up with Alan Sugar.

And that sums up why these shows are so popular. Viewers don’t watch them to see The nature of ‘I’m a celeb’ demands, of how good people are. They watch them course, that it can only run for a short period of time so it’s viewed almost every because it’s hard for most of us to believe they can be that bad! night and is over in just three weeks. By the time you read this it will probably be This year’s ‘Strictly’ personality that - like finished, with either Melanie Sykes or Carl Ann Widdicomb, Paul Daniels and others Fogarty the likely winner. before - surprised the judges by her Perhaps the most surprising thing about ability to attract enough votes to keep her in the contest longer than much all four shows is that they are still as popular as ever despite the fact there are better dancers was Judy Murray. Not as bad as some of her predecessors, but no longer any surprises. We all know exactly what we are going to get and you surprisingly stiff for a tennis coach, Judy would think people would become bored was finally voted off by the judges.

because that was the first opportunity they’d had!

First off the Jungle rota was the horrendous ‘TOWIE’ contributor Gemma Collins who had spent the first two days moaning a bucketful and being shocked at the treatment she was being forced to accept. It makes you wonder if these people have ever actually watched the programme before they agree to take part. The chance of a big cheque and yet more undeserved publicity is obviously enough to dispel any thoughts of what lies ahead.

Every now and again the shows do throw up a piece of memorable TV but it was disappointing that on this occasion it was with the very affable Craig Charles being given the news of his brother’s death.

That follows the accident to Claudia

Judy Murray Winkleman’s daughter that has made the presenter miss several weeks of the show.

It kind of puts everything else into perspective, doesn’t it!

Christmas Coffee Break Humour

A

little boy went with his father to the toy department of Hamleys one Christmas Eve. Dad was examining a marvellous train set and said, ‘What a fabulous train set. I’ll buy it.’

The girl behind the counter looked pleased and murmured, ‘Great, I’m sure your son would really love one of those.’

‘Oh,’ said Dad, ‘maybe you’re right. In that case I’ll take two.’

The Santa Claus at the shopping centre was very surprised when Emily, a young lady aged about 20 years old walked up and sat on his lap.

Now, we all know that Santa doesn’t usually take requests from adults, but she smiled very nicely at him, so he asked her, ‘What do you want for Christmas?’

‘Something for my mother, please,’ replied Emily sweetly. ‘Something for your mother?

Well, that’s very loving and thoughtful of

you,’ smiled Santa. ‘What do would you like me to bring her?’ Without turning a hair Emily answered quickly, ‘A son-in-law.’

On Christmas Eve, a bloke from Stockton thought it would be nice to buy his wife a little gift for the next day. Always short of money, he thought long and hard about what that present might be.

Unable to decide, he went into Debenhams and in the cosmetics section he asked the girl, ‘How about some perfume?’ She showed him a bottle costing £75. ‘Too expensive,’ he muttered.

The young lady returned with a smaller bottle for £50. ‘Oh dear,’ he groused, ‘still far too much.’ Growing rather annoyed at the man’s meanness, the sales girl brought out a tiny £10 bottle and offered it to him.

He became really agitated and said ‘What I mean is I’d like to see something really

room and then went outside and looked up and down the street. ‘What are you doing?’ asked his father. ‘Santa’s brought me a horse,’ said the lad, ‘but I’m really struggling to find it!’

A well known villain was in the dock when the judge asked him what he was charged with. ‘I was doing my Christmas shopping A young lad who was totally averse to any early, My Lord,’ he replied. ‘I don’t think kind of discipline was told by his father that’s an offence,’ said the judge. ‘How early that if he didn’t behave he wouldn’t get were you doing your shopping?’ ‘Well, sir,’ anything nice for Christmas. said the defendant, ‘it was before the store The young lad just laughed and said that opened.’

THE KARANKA EFFECT - BUCKING THE TREND OF PREVIOUS YEARS

E

ighteen months ago the scenario that our next opponents hadn’t won for eight games, were in complete turmoil at director level with accusations of racism rife and having just made the most controversial managerial appointment possible ‘Boro fans would fear that their team would slip on the banana skin all that created.

To then go a goal down to a stupendous free kick would have pretty much guaranteed it, but this side is made of sterner stuff.

The draw at Wigan was much more than just a point. It was a declaration that our recent run has been no flash in the pan and that Aitor Karanka has injected belief, fight, confidence and togetherness into his squad. And that’s why most of us have so much belief that we

are going to be involved all the way to the end.

To be able to say that with so much confidence when Christmas and January are just around the corner shows how very far we’ve come in Karanka’s twelve months in charge.

It hasn’t really mattered where we’ve been at this stage over the last few years because the advent of Christmas and the cold, winter weather that follows it has seen us drop like a stone.

The biggest mystery was that noone could actually put a finger on why performances suddenly dipped so dramatically. I am absolutely certain that they won’t be dipping this season!

At the time of writing we can boast just one defeat in thirteen games, an amazing statistic when you take into account how many changes

Recipe

CHRISTMAS CAKE This traditional rich fruit Christmas cake is moist, loaded with nuts and fruit that have been fortified with sherry and rum, and warmingly spiced with cinnamon.

INGREDIENTS: 250g currants 250g raisins 250g sultanas 90g glacé cherries 50g chopped candied citrus peel 60g sliced almonds Finely grated zest of ½ a lemon & ½ an orange 275g plain flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ¾ teaspoon ground mixed spice 225g butter 225g light brown sugar 4 medium free range eggs 1 tablespoon of black treacle (this is optional, it gives the cake a darker appearance and a deeper treacle taste) 2 tablespoons each of sherry and dark rum

METHOD: Preheat oven to gas mark 2 or 150 °C (130 °C for a fan assisted oven).

Grease and double line a deep 8”/20cm cake tin using non-stick baking paper.

Fold a 27“/69cm length of brown paper to form a strip that stands 5cm above the depth of your baking tin. Place the paper around the outside of the tin and tie it in place with string. This extra brown paper will protect the cake edges while baking.

Gather, weigh and prepare the dried ingredients. Sort through the currants, raisins and sultanas and remove any stalks. Wash and dry the cherries and chop them in half.

Place the dried fruit, cherries, candied citrus peel and grated zest in a large bowl and mix well.

Add 1 tablespoon each of sherry and rum and leave to stand. If you have the time, the fruit can be prepared the evening before and allowed to

absorb the sherry and rum overnight.

Sift the flour and spices into a separate bowl.

Break the eggs into a jug, and whisk lightly with a fork.

In another big bowl cream the sugar and butter until light, fluffy and pale in colour. If you are using treacle add it now.

Add the whisked egg to the creamed butter and sugar a little at a time, along with a tablespoon of the sifted flour.

Using a metal spoon, gently fold in the remaining flour. Then stir in the dried fruits and almonds. Combine well.

Spoon the cake mixture into the pre-lined cake tin. Use a wet spoon to ensure that the mixture is flat, level and smooth and that all the fruit is covered, to prevent it catching when baking.

Place a 9 or 10” square piece of non-stick baking paper over the rim of the cake tin to protect the top of the cake whilst baking.

PAGE 28 | Please mention ‘The Local Answer Ingleby Barwick’ when calling advertisers

Solution

Fold a piece of brown paper several times to make a nine or ten inch square, put it onto a baking sheet and place the full cake tin on top.

The paper will protect the bottom of the cake from burning, and the baking tray will make the cake easier to remove from the oven. Place the tray and cake on a shelf in the center of the oven.

Bake for two hours then turn the oven down gas mark 1 or 140 °c (120 °c for a fan assisted oven).

Bake for a further two hours.

After four hours, remove the cake from the oven and test with a metal skewer as baking times can vary. If the skewer comes out clean the cake is done. If not return to the oven and retest every 10 minutes until done.

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin, with a clean tea towel placed over the top to keep the moisture in. Once the cake is completely cold, turn it out of the tin. Prick the top of the cake with a sterile skewer. Pour on the remaining sherry and rum, allowing the alcohol to soak into the holes before wrapping in greaseproof paper and an outer layer of foil.
