ut back lupins and delphiniums that have finished flowering to encourage a second flush later in the season.

Continue to deadhead the flower border on a regular basis as this will also encourage more flowers later on.

Don’t forget to feed all the flower borders and containers every two weeks and water well in dry weather.

Containers may need watering as much as twice a day in very hot weather.

Keep up with the weeding otherwise the weeds will take moisture and nutrients meant for your flowers.

Take time out to sit in your garden and enjoy!

Lawn Keep mowing regularly unless there is a drought. Set the mower blade slightly higher than before so that if it becomes very hot the grass will not dry out so much.

Only water any recently sown grass or

new turf. If an existing lawn does go brown it will recover after the first rains.

Fruit and Vegetables If apple trees are still over crowded with fruit after the June drop then take out any blemished fruit and the central apple from each cluster.

As soon as summer fruiting raspberries have been cropped cut out the old canes.

Regularly pick courgettes to prevent them from becoming marrows.

Pick peas and beans as soon as they are ready or they will become tough and stringy later.

Lift and use over wintered onions.

Sow spring cabbage and winter salad crop seeds.

Wildlife Top up bird feeders and tables regularly but avoid chunky food that could be taken back to fledglings and choke them and keep the bird bath topped

up with fresh water.

Plant marigolds around the vegetable garden to attract hoverflies and grow more plants that have single flowers rather then doubles as these seem to attract insects better.

Don’t deadhead roses that produce hips as these will be a valuable food source later on in the season.

Looking Good This Month Delphinium - Tall growing stately flowers in many shades.

Helianthus - Sun flower. Tallest growing flower with large heads.

Nicotiana - Flowering tobacco. Large leaves with fragrant white flowers.

Nymphaea - Water lilies. Good colour, shape and coverage of ponds.

Roses - Climbers, ramblers, bush, shrub and patio. Good colour and scent.

Solanum Crispum - Potato vine. Fast growing climber. Profuse lilac or white flowers.

Verbena Bonariensis - Tall airy plant that you can see through with purple flowers atop.

VOLVO V40 CROSS COUNTRY D4 - EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE AND GREAT ‘GREEN’ VALUES!

A

lthough the Volvo V40 has long been admired for its comfort, style and safety there has also been a tendency to question its engine performance.

Volvo are gradually replacing all the engines in the range and the powerful, efficient new D4 in the ‘Cross Country’ version is impressive.

The introduction of the new Cross Country D4 version offering a 2-0 litre, four cylinder variant has seen that problem been beautifully solved, however, and it’s an engine that is destined to see a lot of service across the Volvo range.

With superb green values and excellent performance it should enable the Swedish giants to more than compete with the other leading contenders in this particular class.

While the ‘Cross Country’ version is an obvious attempt by the company to compete in the small SUV market it should be examined for much more and really does offer a lot.

With 187bhp on tap, a 0-62mph time of 7.7 seconds and a company car-friendly 104g/km CO2 figure, the D4 is the most powerful diesel in the range and is almost as frugal as the much slower D2 version.

LOCAL ANSWER

Installing it into the smaller, more attractive V40 Cross Country package, however, makes it a much more tempting proposition.

Official stats put it in the same league as diesel performance hatches such as the VW Golf GTD and BMW 120d - or frontwheel-drive SUVs such as the Audi Q3 and Mini Countryman.

Internally, Volvo have opted to retain the comfort of the traditional V40 with well supporting seats and plenty of leg room.

The modern tendency towards a digital dashboard cluster is there for all to see and offers clear and useful information to the driver.

A particularly good idea is that speed limits are marked in red. Cruise control is also easy to use - an especially important factor with the huge number of long stretches of the A1 currently down to anywhere between 30 and fifty mph.

Externally the suspension has been raised to improve ground clearance. The car is surprisingly fast and is particularly impressive with a real thrust in second gear. Despite that, it still handles well, corners gamely and holds the road beautifully with good body control.

Equipment provided is impressive and includes Satnav, alloy wheels, electric

windows, remote control mirrors, CD player, music streaming wireless telephony, trip computer, cruise control, speed limiter, traffic sign recognition and collision avoidance.

On the down side, don’t think that the car’s rugged looks make for a real cross country vehicle because four wheel drive is only available in the top of the range D5. That means that anything below that standard wouldn’t be much good in a muddy terrain.

But combining such a high power output with low CO2 figures is no mean feat, and Volvo should be rightly pleased with its D4 engine.

Humour

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!

N

ow that the election is all over and it’s once again politically correct to look on politicians as actual objects of mirth instead of merely potential ones we thought we would share a few great stories we’ve heard recently that couldn’t have been published pre-election.

One of the tragedies of elections is that it doesn’t matter who you vote for, the Government always seems to get in.

Ed Miliband was skating on a frozen pond when the ice gave way and he fell in. Three small boys rushed to his aid and managed between them to pull him out.

‘You’ve just saved my life,’ says Miliband, ‘what can I possibly do to repay you all’?

The first little lad says ‘Gosh, I’d love a new bike.’ The second little lad says ‘I could do with a new ‘Boro football kit.’ The third says ‘I would like a motorised wheelchair.’

Miliband looks at him and says why would you possibly want one of those’? ‘Cos,’ says the little lad, ‘when my dad finds out what I’ve just done for you I’ll bloody well need one!’

Politicians and babies’ nappies should both be changed regularly.... and for the same reason!

During the recent election three guys are sitting in a pub. One looks at his newspaper and sighs. The second also looks at his newspaper and he too sighs.

The third snorts in exasperation and says ‘Bugger this, If you two are going to discuss politics, I’m off!’

A politician is in bed asleep with his wife when a massive bolt of lightning illuminates the entire room. The politician jumps up in a panic and shouts ‘I’ll buy the negatives, I’ll buy the negatives!’

The Prime Minister left today for a tour of Britain’s friendly countries. He’s expected back tomorrow.

The big difference between the British Government and the Mafia is that one of them is organised.

The saddest thing about this country’s politics is that everyone who really knows how to run the country is either driving a taxi or cutting hair!

A man walks up to a politician at a party and said ‘I’ve heard a lot about you.’ The politician replied ‘You may have but you’ll never prove any of it!’

Two local councillors are attending a meeting at the Town Hall. One says to the other ‘Have you heard of George Pringle?’

‘No,’ said the second chap, ‘why do you ask?’ ‘Because,’ was the reply, ‘if you’d bothered to attend a few more Council meetings, you’d know he’s now in charge of the Borough sewage works. ‘In that case,’ says the second guy, ‘do you know who Fred Harris is’? ‘No’ said the first, ‘who’s he’? ‘Well,’ said the second, ‘if you’d attended a lot less Council meetings you’d know he’s the bloke who’s been sleeping with your wife!’

Two politicians are having a discussion on finance. The first says to the second ‘There are many ways to make money, but there is only one really honest way to do it.’ ‘And what would that be’? asks his political opponent? ‘Yeah,’ said the first, ‘I had a feeling you wouldn’t know!’

And finally .... It’s interesting to note that the word ‘politics’ was probably derived from two different languages. In Latin ‘poli’ means ‘many.’ In English, ‘tics’ means ‘blood sucking creatures.’ ...... We rest our case!

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A GAME MAKES!

D

espite the huge disappointment of both the performance and the result it was still a great day out at Wembley, but the dejected feeling we’ve all had since was never more strongly amplified than the day the forthcoming season’s fixtures were released.

Instead of planning trips to Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal we are once again having to beat the now well-worn path to places like Brentford, Ipswich, Leeds, Brighton and Fulham.

The big thing, however, is that instead of being a very small fish in a considerably dangerous pool, Aitor Karanka’s work during the summer could well find ‘Boro enjoying another hugely competitive season next time around and there really is a lot

to be said for expectation above trepidation.

We’ll have to see what happens in the transfer market over the next couple of months, but there is already a more vibrant atmosphere around the Riverside and the fourteen thousand committed season ticket holders already signed up suggests gates will increase this year.

Let’s hope all those people so desperate for Wembley tickets decide to return in their droves because the atmosphere in the last two sold-out games at the Riverside was fantastic and we could all do with much more of that!

Team-wise, we’ve almost certainly lost any hope we had of retaining Patrick Bamford so a proven goal scorer is obviously the biggest priority.

PAGE 26 | Please mention ‘The Local Answer Ingleby Barwick’ when calling advertisers

LOCAL ANSWER

But while we need that more than anything else so does every other team in the country, so finding someone to replace Bamford’s goals will not be easy. But - as was said many times last year - ‘in Aitor we trust!’

couple of amazing ‘Boro vehicles we managed to snap on our Wembley trip.

Well done to both of them!

The unbelievable success of both the under 18s and the under 21s last season could obviously suggest there is talent coming through but it’s many years since ‘Boro managed to rear a natural goal scorer, creating instead a production line of midfielders that have brought many millions to the club in transfer fees.

In that respect it will be interesting to see if Adam Reach will be able to resurrect the excellent early season form he showed last season. It’s also been nice to see Ben Gibson perform so well at international level!

Anyway, we can only look forward to the results of Aitor’s work in the transfer market during July and August. He’s done well so far and we can only hope that continues.

Recipe

RICH TEA CHOCOLATE TRAYBAKE INGREDIENTS 225g / 8 oz rich tea biscuits 50g / 1¾ oz / 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 125g / 4½ oz golden caster sugar 1 free range egg, lightly beaten 100g / 3½ oz dark chocolate

Topping

125g / 4½ oz dark chocolate 75g / 4½ oz milk chocolate 50g / 1¾ oz white chocolate METHOD 1. Lightly grease a small round cake tin (15cm, 6 inch in diameter), with a removable base.

Place a circle of baking parchment in the base. Set aside.

2. Crunch up the rich tea biscuits into small pieces, leaving some that are larger at about 1cm / ½ inch.

Cream the butter and caster sugar together, then add the egg and whisk again.

3. Break the dark chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl and melt over simmering water.

When melted, add the sugar-butter-egg mix to the chocolate and stir in until melted and thickened to a light custard texture, which will take a couple of minutes.

4. Stir up the broken biscuit pieces until throughly coated.

Transfer the chocolatey biscuit mix into the cake tin, making sure that the pieces are squashed right into all the gaps to make a firm, continuous base.

Put into the fridge for about 1 hour until thoroughly set.

5. Remove the base from the fridge and leave at room temperature while you do prepare the dark chocolate.

Break the dark chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl and melt over simmering water.

While it is melting, gently slide the prepared biscuit base out of the cake tin.

Spread the melted chocolate over the base. smoothing until nice and even.
