The students and staff of Darfield High School (DHS) took to the stage on Tuesday, September 26th to demonstrate that Darfield definitely has got talent .

The show was filled with strong performances from accomplished musicians, vocalists and dancers.

The judges, youth workers Mitch Shaw, Hannah Cossey and Josh Wright were faced with the difficult challenge of assigning winners in what was a demanding task due to all the amazing talent on stage.

The most entertaining overall winner went to the DHS Jazz Ensemble, which put on a great display of their talents.

However the highlight of the night for many, was the DHS staff performance entitled ‘Darfield Equestrian Team’.

Each year the staff wait until the judges have left to deliberate

Tara Marshall’s TM Dance World (TMDW) has been operating from the Kimberley Hall on the Old West Coast Road, for six years, but now it’s time to move forward and create a facility that’s new and exciting. A Studio that’s more accessible to the community and a space that allows a collaborative approach within the local arts’ family.

The new TMDW studio is located at 7 North Terrace, Darfield (once home to Darfield Tyre Centre and near the ex-medical centre). The building is in the • Qualified, dedicated staff • Excellent child: teacher

ratio A place for children to learn & have fun, in a safe & inspiring rural environment.

The Centre will contain three dance studios, a student waiting/changing area, a parent viewing room and a small dance shop.

After renovation the large e x i s t i n g s h e d w i l l be transformed into an Arts’ Centre. The south end of the building will be the new home of local Artist Vicky Peacock and will be known as Creative Sparks. This area will contain two studios, one for Art Classes and one for Music Lessons.

“The facility will also provide a warm welcoming place for our community to utilise for events,” Tara said.

Tara, who is a registered

teacher with NZAMD, APDA and Acrobatic Arts, began dancing at the age of eleven. Dance has always been her passion and she grew up competing and performing nationally and internationally. To create this new space in Darfield for the Malvern community is an absolute dream for her and she believes the space will be an area where students can grow, learn and become creative.

TMDW already offers classes in Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Acrobatics, Stretch and Performance and caters for dancers from tiny tots (three years old) to advanced levels.

“We believe dance empowers many students, enabling them to build self confidence and athleticism, set goals, and improve their dedication and motivation to achieve in all

areas they encounter in life,” Tara added.

Tara will be joined in the dance studio by Frances Scott’s Malvern Ballet School. “Working together with Malvern Ballet School will provide huge benefits to our dancers, not to mention much more convenience for parents having everything in the one place,” Tara commented.

Frances is looking forward to working with Tara and is excited about finally having a purpose built dance venue to teach from.

Frances, who is a registered teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD RTS), has been teaching ballet for fifteen years in the Canterbury region (Sheffield and Darfield).

Vicky Peacock has worked in the education sector for the past eighteen years. Prior to becoming a primary teacher specialising in art (BA Hons Art QTS), Vicky was a music tutor in England. The Creative Sparks fully equipped art studio will be complemented by the music studio, which will be used for keyboard and piano lessons.

Vicky also looks forward to encouraging schools in the Canterbury district to use the new studio spaces for art enrichment programmes.

H ow e ve r pr ovi din g th e community with an outstanding facility such as this, comes at a cost and so TMDW are hoping to attract some much appreciated sponsorship to assist with the provision of specialised equipment.

Dependent on the level of sponsorship generous recognition is offered.

Gallipoli Oaks Project Passchendaele in the context of the First World War is used in two senses.

Inaccurately, to refer to the battle that lasted from July, 1st 1917 until November 10th.

This four-and-a-half-month offence is properly known as the Third Ypres in which the specific battles of Passchendaele (there were three) took place.

The first battle of Passchendaele in which New Zealand troops took part, was to try and take the ridge and small town that bears its name.

The timing was bad, as the countryside had had exceptional rain for weeks. The ridge was stripped of any vegetation by previous shelling and the drainage system was shattered.

If mud was bad on the Battle of Somme in 1916, here the black mud was oozing glue. The only cover was shell holes usually partly filled with filthy water for the area was littered with the decomposing bodies of men and animals - horses, donkeys and mules.

For the infantry, simply getting into position to begin the attack was exhausting because they had to struggle through thigh deep mud. Some of the units only arriving a few hours before the attack. Zero hour was set down for 5.25am on October, 12th.

Worse, it was nearly impossible to get in place the essential artillery for the bombardment that would suppress the fire from the German machine gun pillboxes and destroy the barbed wire.

Men and animals floundered in

Battle scene near Passchendaele. the mud. The guns and their platforms wouldn’t remain in position as they kept sinking into the mud.

Laying down a consistent barrage became impossible.

There were too few guns in position with many unable to maintain a consistent firing pattern. The rest was appalling for the assaulting troops.

Immediately the assault began they came under persistent and relentless machine gun fire.

Some units advanced only thirty metres before they had to digin, or shelter, in shell holes or be annihilated. Others were brought to a halt a few hundred metres from their starting point.

The artillery that was meant to quell German fire was inadequate and raced ahead of the advancing troops. The German machine gunners could shoot at will through the smoke and dark of the early morning.

At 11am the order was given to suspend the attack and plan for a fresh assault at 3pm. At 2.48pm the soldiers were stood down and the First Battle of

Passchendaele was over.

The New Zealand casualties were 845 dead and 1900 wounded while on the German side there were 154 casualties recorded of which 21 were dead. Recriminations for this disaster have echoed over the last hundred years. It has been noted that almost as much ink has been spilled as blood in trying to explain this calamity.

World War I veteran Gordon Neill had said, "it was a terrible, wanton loss of life; sheer bloody murder.”

Of the soldiers killed during 1917 and recorded on the Sheffield cenotaph one was killed at Passchendaele: Alexander Gunn.

Gunn A second 2Lt A.A Deans was killed in a battle just prior to Passchendaele on October 4th. Lance Corporal L.A McMillan was killed in action on June 8th. Not all soldiers died fighting. William Gillanders was killed in a train accident in England and Percy Smith is recorded as dying of a disease. ‘Lest we forget’

On September, 27th Darfield Primary School students were awestruck and entertained by the launch of a hot air balloon in the School’s grounds. Michael Oakley of Ballooning Canterbury provided the much-enjoyed opportunity for the students to watch the setting up and launch of his company’s hot air balloon at the School, before flying over the township which caused many to gaze skyward. It was a magnificent sight as it towered over Darfield.

There was a buzz of activity around the grounds of Trinity Church in Darfield on Saturday, September 30th as the Malvern Anglican Parish held its annual Country Fair and Craft Day. Along with twenty-one stall holders inside the Church building, there were also several stalls outside. These bordered the parking lot with food, a barbecue, plants, antiques, cabbages and potatoes and were joined by the stalls of the Darfield Market.

The Trinity Church Hall across the street on Greendale Road was full with the ever-popular White Elephant goods.

The Malvern Anglican Parish thank all who donated baked goods and also thank the many people who dropped off used items and books in the days

Local community coffee group, Kirwee Kids, recently held a bubble and music morning session with twelve mothers and their under fives at the Kirwee Sports Pavilion. The children had a blast blowing bubbles and having a boogie to some of their favourite songs.

Kirwee Kids is a newly established, fortnightly, coffee and playgroup, based in Kirwee.

It’s aimed at mums with children under five years old living in the Selwyn district. It was established in August 2017 by two Kirwee mums, Natasha Hodgetts and Grace Allan.

Allan Having no active coffee and playgroup in Kirwee, they decided to create something for mums like themselves to have a nice hot coffee, a chat, and an opportunity to meet other mothers from the area.

“We feel this is a great way of building a strong community and supporting families in the district. It’s been a good way to support mums on their parenting journey; provide an opportunity to network amongst our community for the sharing of skills and resources; promote local events for families and most importantly to assist in socially buoying and nurturing our mums so as to meet their mental health needs,” Natasha said.

The sessions are lightly themed and previously a Teddy Bears’ picnic, Pirates and Princesses dress-up and a Stomp and Splash - gumboots and puddles morning have been run!

The group normally hosts between ten to fifteen mothers along with their children ranging in age from newborn to five years. Members live throughout Malvern from Kirwee, to Darfield, Glentunnel and Coalgate areas.

Kirwee Kids is proudly supported by the local Kirwee community and the Malvern

Community Board and thank Jenny Gallagher and Bob Mugford for assistance with establishment costs.

If anyone in the community would like to contribute anything towards the coffee and playgroup, whether it’s craft and activity resources, small grocery items or a small monetary donation towards the running costs, Kirwee Kids’ organisers would be very appreciative.

There is a closed Facebook group entitled 'Kirwee Mums' that local mums can join.

On Wednesday, September 27th, the inaugural Malvern Primary Schools Cantamath competition was held at the Glentunnel Community Hall.

The focus of the competition was for students to participate in solving mathematical problems in a fun way, while working together as a team.

This year there were eighty Year 5 and 6 students participating from all eight Malvern Primary Schools; G l en t unn el , S pri n gfi el d, Sheffield, Darfield, Windwhistle, Hororata, Greendale and Kirwee.

The schools had been preparing before the competition by having students learn how to work in a team and solve problems by using the quickest strategy.

Teams had to answer as many of the twenty questions they could in a half hour period.

There was a lot of energy and excitement in the hall before the start whistle blew, and then it was controlled chaos as each team raced to answer as many questions correctly, as possible.

Glentunnel School Principal, Dion Stechmann said, “after the competition the students were simply buzzing from the experience and they felt challenged and proud of their accomplishments.”

The teams were awarded five points for a correct answer and could pass on an answer after having attempted it once.

T h e qu e s t i on s pr ov e d challenging, but at the right level for the age group attempting them. One team almost answered all twenty questions, while every other team experienced success by scoring more then fifteen points.

The teams just before competition begins. Glentunnel team at centre front of picture are (from left to right) Blake Woolley, Laura Longdin, Alastair McLauchlan and Leni Moore.

On Friday, October 13th Selwyn District Libraries and service centres will not open until 1pm to allow library staff to attend a professional development session.

Selwyn Libraries and Service Centres Manager Vicki Carlyon said that the libraries hold two staff training and meeting sessions a year focussing on improving the service they provide for Selwyn residents.

“The agenda we have planned for the day will include programming for young people and children, delivery of Council services, working with the

Community Services team and use of technology in libraries.”

While the closure occurs, people can still visit the library website (www.selwynlibraries.co.nz) to access a range of online services including the library catalogue, eBooks, eAudio, eMagazines, databases and other online services. Items can also be returned through the after-hours returns boxes outside libraries.

The Council’s Rolleston headquarters will be open as usual for Council services on October13th.

“It was a huge hit with everyone asking about next year’s event already,” Dion ended!

SEASON HAS NOW STARTED The fly and spider season is well underway.

The warmer weather has white-tail spiders out and about and of course many people are calling us to help them with these unpleasant squaKers in their homes.

These guys are nocturnal and are normally only seen during the day if they are disturbed by someone or something, like +dying drawers or wardrobes.

If you have lived in a house that had white-tails and you have moved houses you will have more than likely brought them with you to your new home.

The treatment we use at Spiderban controls spiders and flies, it doesn't kill them instantly, (anything that potent wouldn’t be safe for the occupants of the house) it takes three to four hours to shut down the nervous system of a white-tail.

Some+mes a4er treatment owners are astounded to see a white-tail they never knew they had on the carpet or out on the wall unable to move. This is the nervous system shu,ng down and the spider is unable to get back to cover.

Mostly they are just found dead under a couch or behind a wardrobe.

The best +me to see if you have white-tails is if you get up in the night, then look along the edges of the skir+ng boards or along the top of the walls.

If you have the old style down lights white-tails can quite o4en be seen on the ceiling near these, as they can come through from the roof space.

Alzheimer's disease. However, the evidence is limited and further human studies are needed. Adding healthy amounts of nuts such as walnuts to the diet can help to maintain an ideal weight over time.

The beneficial dietary fat in walnuts has been shown to improve metabolic parameters in people with type 2 diabetes.

Be aware that walnuts are perishable and their healthful fats are easily damaged. If purchasing shelled walnuts in bulk, avoid those that appear shrivelled, are not dried properly, or smell rancid.

Walnuts should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer, whether they are shelled or unshelled.

Organisers would welcome folk from throughout the district to the inaugural West Melton Walnut Festival!

West Melton is the centre of walnut growing in New Zealand something the locals are understandable proud of.

Trudi Meyer, spokesperson for the festivals Promotions Committee said “Often when I offer somebody some of our home grown walnuts to taste they will reply that they are ‘not really the nut eating type’.”

This festival plans to address that!

“You might have bought some walnuts from the bulk bin at the supermarket and you might think they’re OK,” Trudy explained. “They are meant to be a superfood, but the ones you’ve just bought might not be really tasty, could be rather bitter and some seem to taste a bit stale.”

Most of these ‘bulk-buy’ walnuts are imported and have been cracked and the kernels stored for a long time until shipped to New Zealand.

“Have you ever tasted properly dried, fresh, locally grown, walnuts,” Trudy enthused?

She believes that people will never go back to buying the supermarket variety again!

Properly handled New Zealand grown walnuts are not degraded through ageing so the vitamins, minerals and oil contents are not compromised.

They are also not bleached as some imported walnuts can be.

Walnuts are a rich source of antioxidants (including some unique and powerful ones that are available in only a few commonly eaten foods), and healthy fats, making them heart -friendly. A walnut-rich diet may improve brain function and possibly slow the progression of

On Friday, September 29th ninety-four people from all over Canterbury played bridge at the Darfield Recreation Centre in the annual Darfield Bridge Club Tournament.

Friday 6th October 2017

Excitement has been growing at the Kirwee Bowling Club, both amongst members and around the building site of the Clubhouse!

It can now be reported that after a winter which required a great deal of patience and effort, the concrete has been poured for the floor of the new and enlarged Clubhouse dining area, and builders will now work upwards from there.

During the past calendar year Club members have been busy fundraising to pay for the project. Their efforts to earn funds included catering for the Country Girls’ Reunion, a sizeable stall at the Courtenay A & P Show, gate duty at the South Island Field Days, catering for the Ploughing Championships and running a Four-Wheel-Drive Excursion.

The Club would also like to gratefully acknowledge gifts from the Rata Foundation and

the James Gough Trust that have helped them move towards their target.

The next event in the programme is a Lions Casino Night to be held on Saturday, October 28th. The Malvern Lions are generously providing their expertise and time to run the games on the night, while Club members are pitching in to find the prizes and provide supper.

Speaking on behalf of the Club, President Val Watson explained that there would be many chances to win on the night.

The $25 entry covers the first $30,000 worth of ‘play’ money, and with the winnings guests can bid on items in the two auctions to be held during the evening.

If Lady Luck doesn’t smile on the punters at the gambling tables, visitors can use real money to bid for some very worthwhile prizes in a number

Page 9

of silent auctions running at the same time. Look out for a weekend away complete with helicopter flight, a cooked dinner for six, a free lawnmower service, a Christmas lamb, and much, much more.

Prizes will be offered for the Best Dressed Male and Female, with no theme dictated - just imagination!

There will be a cash bar to quench punters thirst (no eftpos will be available), and a continuous supper to keep everyone fuelled.

"People are always being asked to donate to worthy causes, and we feel they will be happier to give if they are going to get a great night's entertainment for their donation. That is what we are aiming to provide," Val concluded.

Please see the advertisement in this issue for further information.

an event with Kiwi community spirit at its heart. This community passion and pride comes from Clan Hororata, a group of dedicated volunteers who work throughout the year to stage one of the biggest Scottish Festivals in the Southern Hemisphere.

“Being part of Clan Hororata is heaps of fun and very rewarding. It brings its challenges, but at the end of the day to see so many happy people who have come and enjoyed our event gives everyone in Clan Hororata a sense of pride,” commented John Ballagh, Ballagh committee member. “Our community gets a whole heap bigger around the Games with volunteers coming from within the Selwyn District, wider Canterbury, as far north as Auckland and south to Dunedin coming to join the Clan.

We even have some folk in

• 2 Topdown Cultivators • Ripping • Vaderstad Drill • Fodder Beet Planter • Direct Drilling • Ploughing • Cultivator & Roller • Swifterdisc

themselves part of our Clan.”

Not only are 200 volunteers needed on event day, it takes a big team to transform the stunning Hororata Domain into the Hororata Highland Games and then to pack up again on Sunday.

“Logistically this event would not happen without volunteers, but more than that it would not have the special atmosphere which comes from a large group of people believing in a shared vision,” John added. “The invite is open to anyone who wants to come and join Clan Hororata and be part of the Games; we would welcome you with open arms!”

Anyone who preregisters to be part of Clan Hororata, whether it be helping with set up, pack down or on the day, receives free admittance to the event on Saturday, November 11th, plus an invitation to the Prime Smoke ‘Clan Hororata’ Thank You BBQ, immediately after the Games. Everyone who helps on event day will receive a Clan Hororata tee shirt thanks to the Selwyn District Council. Being a rural event, it is well catered throughout the week, with volunteers receiving lunch each

baking to fill the gaps.

New this year will be the EAL AgriServices Group Clan Hororata Lounge; a private marqu e e esp eci al ly for volunteers to use as a base on the day of the event. In this Lounge there will be refreshments, food and a quiet place to have a break.

“I grew up in Greendale not far from Hororata,” Tim Ridgen, Ridgen Director of EAL AgriServices Group explained, “I have been excited to watch the Hororata Highland Games grow over the past six years. I can see the positive impact the event is having on the immediate and wider Selwyn community. It is important for EAL AgriServices Group to invest in, and support, our community. We recognise the huge amount of effort that goes into the Games and what the volunteers do behind the scenes. We are very proud to support Clan Hororata with the new lounge area and hope it adds a little bit extra to volunteers’ experience at the event.

Anyone interested in becoming part of Clan Hororata can connect with organisers through Facebook.

QUESTION:

ANSWER As a child I was always keen to help my father in the garden and I still remember him taking the fork or spade to the root ball of a tree before he planted it. This was common practice at the time; the theory was, it would to allow the roots some freedom from being bound up in the planter bag and encourage new root growth.

There are still gardeners in that camp today, but I would advise against this practice. Excessive tampering with the root system risks an invitation for infection and many trees and shrubs, especially New Zealand natives, detest having their root systems tampered with. If you are concerned that the root ball is seriously bound then using a sharp knife make 3 to 4 shallow cuts down the root ball but in most cases gently remove the plant from its pot or bag and

• • • •

place unmolested in the hole

I have only recently become you have dug.

QUESTION: a keen gardener. When I would like to plant some planting trees and shrubs I kowhais in my garden. I have been given conflicting understand there are advice with regards to several varieties in New teasing out the root ball Zealand, which are best for before planting. Some the Malvern area. friends tell me this is good Maureen, Kirwee for the tree, while others say it is not. Can you clear up ANSWER this controversy, to tease or Although all of the varieties of not to tease? kowhai known to grow in New William, Darfield Zealand are hardy enough to grow in the Malvern area the two that are indigenous to this zone and will do well are the South Island kowhai (Sophora microphylla ) and the dwarf kowhai (Sophora prostrata).

The first is well known to most of us as a small open tree smothered in tiny leaves and displaying the iconic yellow bell shaped flowers in late winter and early spring. The second is more of a shrub usually growing about 1.5m tall and spreading 2 to 3m in a tangled habit with a leaf like microphylla. This kowhai has yellow to orange flowers usually earlier than its bigger cousin. Both are valuable additions to your garden or native planting project, offering nectar to bellbirds and bees when other flowers are scarce.

The Mt Olympus Freeride Team L to R : Harry Cookson. Poppy Freeman, Joe Cookson, Henry Freeman, Will Freeman (coach) Tom Freeman, Will Cookson, Sam Hewitt, Ruby Hewitt and Elliot Robinson (coach).

Local youth skiers have had another successful competition on the ski slope while participating in the New Zealand Junior Freeride Tour (NZJFT), a big mountain competition held at a trio of ski areas around New Zealand.

Made up of three events at three locations; Remarkables, Mt Olympus and Turoa, Mt Ruapehu, the tour provides the competitor with a range of conditions and situations to test their skiing skills.

Weather this year played havoc with the tour schedule causing two events to be combined and held on September, 16th and 17th at Mt Olympus.

The weather was reasonable for the competition, but the varying snow conditions made it interesting skiing for those competing. The competitors aged between ten and seventeen years old are not allowed to inspect the course on skis prior, only allowed to view from the bottom.

Local skiers, all members of the Olympus Freeride Team, were

not phased by the challenges set by the event and went on to do well on the slopes.

Tom Freeman, Freeman Will Cookson, Cookson Ruby Hewitt and Poppy Freeman achieved placings in one of the events while Joe Cookson and Sam Hewitt (exlocal) were placed in both events.

September 23rd, saw the competitors meeting at Turoa ski field on Mt Ruapehu.

With great spring snow the course was still set on firm conditions and visibility was very much a moving target!

The Olympus Freeride Team did well at Mt Ruapehu with Ruby Hewitt, Joe Cookson, Cookson Sam Hewitt, and Tom Freeman getting placings in their categories.

The tour was a great opportunity for local (and exlocal) youth skiers, not only to ski in North Island conditions which are often very different to those in the South Island, but also to compete against some amazing skiers from around the whole country.

Next year the older boys will be chasing the opportunity to qualify for the NZ freeride team and compete on the Junior World Tour.

Two local boys from the Olympus Freeride Team emerged as overall champions for the complete tour; Tom Freeman in the Boys under 14 category and Joe Cookson in the Boys 10 and under category.

Great achievement from all concerned.

The typical freedom camper who visits the Selwyn district is German, under thirty years of age and in search of ecotourism attractions, according to a Selwyn District Council Freedom Camping Report.

The report which was publicly released on Tuesday, October 2nd,, has helped to define where freedom campers come from, what their motivations for staying in the district are, what they spend their money on, and what their level of satisfaction with reserves and facilities are.

It also looked at the activity’s impact on the environment.

Both domestic and international freedom campers were included in the research.

The report will be used to help develop future policy and processes for managing and providing facilities for freedom camping in Selwyn.

“Young freedoms campers come to Selwyn for quality, free accommodation but also to enjoy natural attractions, independent tramps, and wild life encounters - we live in a beautiful part of the world and

we should spread the message,” Council chief executive David Ward said.

Between January 25th and February 17th 2017, 400 freed om cam per s wer e randomly selected to complete a questionnaire. The interviews were conducted at popular freedo m camp ing s it es including Chamberlains Ford, Coes Ford, Lakeside Domain and Whitecliffs Domain.

Of those interviewed, 84% were international visitors. Of those visitors, 47% were German, and 14% were French. The report also highlighted the average length of stay in New Zealand is 5.5 months with the average stay in Selwyn district being just one week.

During a visit to New Zealand, the main expenditure per person/per week for a freedom camper was on fuel ($100), groceries ($56) and accommodation ($27). Any savings made on accommodation went towards attractions. The full report can be viewed at: www.selwyn.govt.nz

Freedom campers were attracted to Selwyn by: • The proximity to Christchurch (Selwyn closest alternative) • Excellent reviews of facilities.

• Influenced by apps, eg CamperMate (71%).

Other reasons for staying in the district: • Trying to avoid ‘hassle’ of booking accommodation.

• Dislike rules associated with hostels and paid campgrounds.

• Enjoy spending time in nature/ rural environments.

• Highly cost conscious.

• Conserve money for attractions.

Other insights: • Many knew little about Selwyn and the tourist experiences on offer.

• Christchurch and Banks Peninsula are more popular tourist destinations.

• Main interests are: natural attractions, independent tramps and wild life encounters.

Freedom camper selfself-perceptions: • They were familiar with the term ‘freedom camper’.

• They knew the term had negative connotations.

• They mainly associated with other international visitors, and ‘grey nomads’ (older independent campers).

• Grey nomads are unhappy about negative association/ connotations.

SO Vodafone has cancelled your email address…..

If you are in a group of email address that Vodafone owns (a4er buying up companies over the years) then you need to do something. (Check the Vodafone site if you are not sure.)

Your emails won’t stop from November and can be forwarded by Vodafone, but you do need another email address to work with and from.

Two that I use are www.outlook.com and www.gmail.com both are free and both are easy to set up.

If you get stuck - call. The biggest problem is that you have no direct means of contac+ng either of them by phone. Email is one way, as well as website forums, but neither are immediate and you do need an internet connec+on. It might be +me to think about buying that second device; a Tablet or Laptop.

Shorter is always beKer i.e. abc@gmail.com or cba@outlook.com is great but with millions and millions of users these will already be gone. I always recommend pu,ng ‘nz’ at the end of what it is you would like for an email address. In this case abcnz@gmail.com or cbanz@outlook.com. Usually these haven’t been taken and using your name, plus the ‘nz’ preKy much guarantees that it’s s+ll available. When you are doing the set up for the programme, it will tell you if the email address that you have chosen is available, or not.

Passwords.

For goodness sake write them down and choose something that isn’t obvious like the street, or the cat’s name etc. When it come to the security ques+ons it pays to write these down as well. This can help you change the password on-line without receiving an email with the change of password reset link in it; possibly when you can’t even get your email with a mail client like Outlook.

To do all of this you need another device and to be on-line at the website of the email supplier.

When it’s set up and running there are a lot more se,ngs that you will have access to and a few ‘Gotchas’ that will help you configure the day to day running more smoothly.

Using these two is much easier se,ng up on your phone, as they will be already built in to most smart phones.
