August is possibly my favourite month of the year, no, not because it’s my birthday! (yep, on the 17th in case you were wondering when to get cards in the post!) :-) no, because August is such an exciting month.

So much to do, so much to see, holidays to go on, a break from routine with the kids off school...

I love it, if there were a marketing board in charge of promoting August, I’d be Chief Exec!

TO PARISH OR NOT About two years ago when the ABC (Abolish Bury Council) won overall control of the town council, and it looked as if there would be no town council. I approached our legal officer with the intention of finding out about perishing Moreton Hall. The National Government are now on about devolving power to the people via local parish and town councils. The Boundary Commission are reviewing things now and it may be that Moreton Hall could fall into an area for

consideration for perishing. As one of the largest rate payers in the town we would be able to collect a fairly good amount of money which would be spent on our estate and not in other areas within the town.

We could also reduce the amount we now pay for the town council.

There would need to be an election and require about ten people.

Before all this there would need to be a consultation period.

I have just posed the idea and would love your comments, you have my email address.

SAINSBURY’S Congratulations Congratulations to Sebert Wood CROSSING School on celebrating their 20 I have been asked by several people about seeing if we can get the crossing to Sainsbury’s upgraded. I understand that the traffic pays no attention to people trying to cross. I have contacted the Borough officers and await their reply.

SHAKERS LANE I have reported the overhanging branches which are obstructing the cycle path, Damien our parks officer has spoken to the guys who are responsible and hopefully they will attend to it.

years, they had a wonderful fun day. Well done to the Head, Teachers and Staff. I would also like to congratulate Abbots Green who said farewell to their Jaguar class, the children now move on to middle school. Good luck to all of them.

SCHOOLS OUT Yes schools are out and kids will be looking for things to do, you know the saying “I am bored, there is nothing to do”. We at the youth club are talking to Abbey Croft Leisure and hopefully arranging some summer activities, I will keep you posted. I am also pleading for helpers and perhaps we can put on a family fun day at the club. Come on, if you can support please do.

Have a happy and safe holiday!

What you get for your money As councillors we are often asked “what do we get for our money”.

We, some of your councillors, attended a training session recently and had the finances explained in plain English and I would like to pass some of it on to you, this would look better as a pie chart but it would not show too well on this.

The relevance of trees in today’s society Moreton Hall’s Monthly Nature Watch

by Woodland Ways From the first colonisers following the Ice Ages, and throughout history, wood has been a vital material for survival.

And, of course, if you use wood you need to know which types of wood are best for different uses, and so you get good at recognising the trees you see.

The peak of understanding about wood was probably in the mediaeval period. Wood was used to make houses, vehicles, furniture, fences, and everyday items such as plates and buttons. Woodland was far more valuable than other land-uses and was intensively managed; every tree was owned by someone and destined for a purpose.

By Victorian times, we imported tropical hardwoods from the Empire, such as teak, mahogany and rosewood. Carpentry was a specialist trade, rather than an every-day activity. In the large and growing towns and cities, people began to lose the connection between wood and trees.

In today’s society, happiness is usually measured in monetary

10

themhd

terms, from the Gross Domestic Product of nations, to the ability of individuals to buy the latest big-screen HDTV or a shiny new car. We’ve forgotten about trees and most people can’t tell one species from another. Often a tree is just something that takes up space, threatens to drop branches on us, or sheds its leaves on our manicured garden in autumn.

But trees are even more relevant to today’s problems than you might think. Take climate change, for instance. Shade and cooling through water evaporation make our streets cooler in hot summers. Trees turn the soil into a waterabsorbent sponge, and so

reduce flooding from sudden downpours. They fix carbon in their wood. Trees really do make a difference to climate change, and that’s just one of many benefits.

Why not join Woodland Ways..

Why not join in with a Woodland Ways work party to help improve the Moreton Hall woods?

No experience is needed and all are welcome; we’ll show you what to do.

For more information please see www.woodlandways.org. uk, see the Woodland Ways noticeboard in the Community Centre, contact Nick Sibbett on 01284 723847 or email information@woodlandways.org.uk

August is traditionally the time for holidays. The schools are out, many of our part-time jobs disappear and it is a chance to refresh ourselves before the autumn and the return to school and work begins. However, for many August is just a hot month during which we have to continue working as hard as we ever do and we look with resentment upon those who get a nice six weeks break. Some of us will get away for a fortnight to the sun, but this year as we jet away many of us will have pangs of guilt about the damage to the ozone layer and will experience the frustration of excess baggage charges. Both these items will take the joy out of our holidays.

Many of you will know that the word “holiday comes” from the phrase “Holy Day”. One of the joys of the mediaeval world was that many Christian festivals and Saint’s days was a day of rest like Sunday. A Holy day was a work free day to be spent reflecting upon God, and the life of the saint concerned.

The Christian church has taught that while humans have been given a world to tend (that is our work) humankind was also made to rest, as God did in Genesis chapters 1 and 2. Rest is an essential part of being human, having a break and a chance to

12

themhd

recharge. Rest is a chance to think and draw closer to God, a chance to renew your relationships and to progress in your identity and character. All these elements should be part of a good holiday.

So this year why not, whatever your recreation might be, do the following nine things: • Leave your mobile phone at home or, if you have to take it with you, keep it turned off.

• Do not to go onto the internet and check your emails unless you really have to.

• Do not buy a newspaper it only stresses you out.

• Lie in a bit in the morning and why not stay up a little bit later.

• Let conversation flow naturally and give time to it, especially to those you love.

• Spend some time alone thinking about God, your life, how far you have come? What are your hopes and dreams and whether you are getting close to them? You might even try talking to God and asking Him, what He thinks.

• Read that book you have always meant to, particularly if it is the Bible.

• Try something new.

• Above all, have a real break.

Human existence is about having a break, slow down, take stock, rediscover yourself and enjoy the world and the skin that you

inhabit. Some of you will be saying, “What about all those noisy, pesky kids?” Here, once again, Christ Church, Moreton Hall is here to help. At the end of August when everyone is at the end of their tether, we will be opening the church for four mornings and encouraging young people to come along and have some great fun, games as well as finding out more about Jesus.

We would also like to invite you to “Back to Church Sunday” at the end of September when there will be a barbecue and a chance to meet up again.

Whatever you do this summer, try to find some space for a true holy day when you get close to your friends and family, get close to yourself and get closer to God. With every good wish, Yours sincerely, Jonathan Ford

The Final Whistle

by Andrew Southwood First off, let’s get one thing quite clear. South Africa 2010 was without doubt the most dull and tedious World Cup in living memory. The vast majority of games were boring defensive affairs, more akin to ugly chess than the beautiful game. Goals were, like vegetarians in a steak house, few and far between, and the overall quality of football was poor at best. It was desperately disappointing.

very round ball… that was clearly just madness!?

Maybe the players and coaching staff are the real culprits?

Hundreds of thousands of pounds/euros/reais a week, yet they still seem to be lacking any real passion. I’m not just talking about the England team either.

The French squad behaved like rebellious teenagers, and then there’s the so called ‘simulation’.

Some of the best athletes in the

day the queen came to stay. As a side note, the person on Moreton Hall that thinks it is acceptable to blow their vuvuzela after 9pm, or in fact at any time, should seriously reconsider their actions. Believe me, they wont need goal line technology to determine precisely where I will ram it, if wakes me or my son up again.

I guess ultimately it’s my fault. I just hyped it up too much in my own head. Yet again, it was a let down.

Fifa are the obvious scapegoats.

Blaters public apology regarding Lampards ‘goal’ was touching. It won’t however undo the damage done to my television set by the random assortment of household objects (from a relatively bouncy Pringles tubes, to the not quite forgiving table lamp), that were within an arms length at the time of the incident. And lets not forget their crazy idea of introducing a

14

themhd

world going down as if hit by a 1 tonne wrecking ball, when barely tickled by an opponent.

What about the dreaded vuvuzelas? They started off as a mildly irritating novelty and rapidly became extremely maddening. The TV broadcasts managed to fade them out a bit, but trying to tune in on the radio was like listening to a conversation inside a beehive the

For excitement it never came close to Italia ’90, but then again, I’m getting further and further away from there all the time. Above all, if I do take anything positive away from the whole sorry affair, it is that next summer, as I’m stressing about the final qualification matches for Euro2012, I must remember that either way – it will almost certainly be a complete and utter waste of time.

‘Truly Scrumptious’ day planned for all the family

alongside you when you need it most

The original and well loved vehicle from classic film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will be topping the bill at a classic car event for St Nicholas Hospice Care.

The well-known car from the 1968 film favourite will be taking its place alongside a host of both classic and sports cars at a family fun day, organised by the Hospice’s voluntary special events fundraising committee.

The display of both classic and sports cars will take place on 12 September in the idyllic and rural setting of Hall Farm at Fornham St Martin, near Bury St Edmunds.

Visitors will be able to have their photo taken with the original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car as well as display their own classic and sports cars, with prizes on offer in various categories.

Guests can bring their own picnics, or enjoy excellent on-site food from Suffolk Food Hall and drink stalls which includes a ‘Greene King’ area by the beautiful lake setting In addition to the huge array of vehicles on show visitors will be able to enjoy live music, craft stalls, a climbing wall, children’s fun area and much, much more!

All proceeds from the event, which has been generously sponsored by the aptly-named Carrs of Bury St Edmunds are going to the Hospice.

Andrew Spencer, Managing Director of Carrs, said “We are a local company celebrating 20 years of trading and we feel sponsoring an event for the Hospice is a perfect way of recognizing this important landmark.

“The Hospice is an extremely worthy cause and in the hearts of everyone in West Suffolk and

16

themhd

Thetford. We are proud to be involved and the fact that the public can come along and see the joy of classic and sports cars makes it a perfect association with our company too.”

The fun family event, which will raise vital funds and awareness of the charity, will take place on September 12 from midday until 6pm.

Pre purchased tickets are available from Carrs BMW, the St. Nicholas Hospice Shops and also the town’s Tourist Office priced £6 per adult, concessions £4, or a family ticket (consisting of two adults and two children) for £15. Children under the age of five get in for free.

Anyone interested in exhibiting their classic or sports car on the day should contact Karen on 07830 468228 to register or go to: www.classicsportscarsbythelake.co.uk

Parent’s survival guide:

How to entertain a brood of bored kids during the summer holidays It’s that time of the year, school’s out and the summer hols are here again. But how do you cope with a brood of bored kids during the long, long break? Here is a tired parent’s survival guide.

It’s the summer holidays, the schools are closed and they will not re-open until September, no matter how hard you pound on the doors or rap on the windows.

This is truly unbelievable considering how much schooling they need.

In fact, if they are ever going to come up to speed with adults, it would make a lot more sense to keep children in school at all times with the option of a half-day on Christmas Day should the parents feel up to it, which is by no means a given, as being a parent is very tiring and may be the most tiring thing you ever do. Indeed, as a recent poll showed only too clearly, being a parent is much more tiring than, say, lying down for long stretches reading Heat and counting your money, which is what most parents would be doing otherwise.

The average cost of raising a child is said to be £120,000 and don’t pretend you’ve never thought: “I could be driving a Porsche. I could be holidaying in the Maldives. I could be driving to the Maldives in my Porsche at this very moment but, hey, aren’t we having fun rubbing peanut butter all over our faces and drawing up the walls?” You may ask why people who think like this even have children but the fact is this: hey, we get pregnant too.

Do not despair, though. Yes, the summer holidays are here – and No, the schools will not re-open, no matter what – but here, at least, we have responded to your most common worries:

I have children who, I know, will want to be ferried from this activity to that activity for the entire six weeks. I’m not a taxi driver and am dreading spending most of the summer performing as if I am. What should I do?

You are right. You are not a taxi-driver. The trouble with today’s kids, though, is that they expect judo and swimming and football and guitar and going to Tom’s house and, therefore, simply do not stay in watching TV and playing on the Playstation enough.

You may even try saying: “What do you think we bought the TV and the Playstation for? To gather dust?”

Most summer-holiday activities seem to be geared towards younger children. What about teenagers?

It’s worth setting out the ground rules from day one. This may involve putting up signs around the house which say: “I am not an ATM”; “Do not ask for credit as refusal often offends (not that I care)”; “Today’s specials are ‘take it’ or ‘leave it’”, “Don’t take that tone with me”; “What part of ‘no’ don’t you understand?”; “I’ve ruined your life. That’s rich”; “not later, NOW!” and “I’m not a taxi driver unless I drive something black and bulky with an orange light on top in which case, alas, I am”. That should sort them.

Apparently, parents spend an average of £1,200 per child keeping them amused during the summer holidays. This is way beyond my means. Any ideas for cheap or, even better, free activities to keep them entertained?

Nope. Well, yes, there is the park. It’s free, it’s healthy, and once the kids have robbed you of coat and jumper for goal-posts, you can freeze on a bench.

Far better to throw money around, even if it does mean you have to go into debt. A good bet is one of ...continued on page 21

...continued from page 18 those art cafés where the children paint ceramics which are later fired. They are actually excellent value for money if you don’t factor in that a side plate can mysteriously transmute into a £70 note. They can also provide a good afternoon’s entertainment, particularly for Control Freak Mum, who is surely in her element.

It is: “Not that colour!” And: “You’re ruining it!” And: “You obviously don’t know anything about a ballerina’s correct proportions!” And: “Oh,give it here!” The Non-Control Freak Mum won’t bother to pick up the ceramics once they have been fired, making it even better value for money. Alternatively, there is also Chessington World and at least the benches are more comfortable.

Our family holidays abroad have never been that successful and I’m beginning to wonder if they are worth the money? Are they?

Yes, of course. Come on, why stay at home bickering and not getting on when you can all drive thousands of miles across France to spend two weeks together bickering and not getting on? You know it makes sense. It’s tempting to go on separate holidays but the kids will always track you down in the end. Here are the things no child has ever been heard to say on holiday: “My, these swimming goggles are a perfect fit”; “I’ll just stand still while you apply the sun cream”; “I think I’ve had enough ice-creams for one day”; “I’m bushed, I

think I’ll turn in”; and “Can’t we just squeeze in one more medieval church?”

My young child wants a TV in her bedroom. I’ve resisted for months but with the next six weeks to fill, I’m tempted. Any advice?

Apparently, 42 per cent of toddlers now have televisions in their bedrooms. This is a truly shocking statistic. What are the parents of the other 58 per cent thinking of? Come on, we live in the First World!

Get a grip!

Do you agree that boredom is the greatest gift you can give a child?

The trouble with boredom is that it is quite boring.

A telly in the bedroom is better. It can also be educational. A child who watches a lot of telly may turn round one day as you are doing the laundry and say: “Mum. Why don’t you use Ace? It’s tough on stains but kind enough for delicates” – and maybe you will use Ace and find it is tough on stains and kind enough for delicates. The thing about children is they can often teach you almost as much as you can teach them, but not quite because you are the grown-up and can simply say, when pressed: “Because I say so.” Never explain further as it may make you more tired than you already are.

How to survive car journeys Get a good selection of children’s audio CDs. The complete set of Harry Potter may put you to sleep, but it’s much more likely to keep the children quiet. And make sure you pull over every hour or so to give the children a quick blast of fresh air.

Make getting there part of the experience. Prior to set-off, give each passenger a photocopied map of your planned route. Pack a selection of coloured pens and pencils and perhaps some extra paper, tinfoil and glue; any tools with which to decorate the map. Challenge the children to create a visual representation of the journey, sketching in significant landmarks along the way.

Devise a quiz. Quizzes provide a great distraction. Categories can vary endlessly, from history to pop music, or Ancient Egypt to film trivia, so all ages can join in. In addition to time spent conducting the quiz, devising questions and producing buzz cards can occupy several hours. Let the children decide on categories themselves, or set them yourself so they can research suitable questions.

and

Play the Alphabet Game. The subject matter can be adapted to anything you so wish. Imagine the topic is bands. The first person names a band beginning with A, eg: Abba; the next person names one beginning with B, and so on, with each person giving their answer within five seconds of the last. This continues until someone fails to give an answer within the time period.

Make up your own memory game. The first player starts with “I went to the shop and there I bought...” and inserts an item of their choice, eg: “cabbage”. The second repeats the sentence: “I went to the shop ... I bought” and repeats the first item, before adding their own to the list. The third does the same, adding another item. Each player must recall the shopping list in the correct order.

TOY STORY 3 IN 3D

U

PG

Director: Lee Unkrich Starring: Tim Allen, Tom Hanks, Joan Cusack, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger

THE A-TEAM

12A

Director: Joe Carnahan Starring: Liam Neeson, Bradley Coope, Quinton Jackson, Sharlto Copley, Jessica Biel, Patrick Wilson Liam Neeson leads an all-new A-Team in this explosive and action-packed blockbuster based on the much-loved ‘80s TV show.

Jailed for a crime they didn’t commit, an elite ‘Alpha’ Team of special forces super-soldiers waste no time in busting out of their confines. Led by Colonel John ‘Hannibal’ Smith (Liam Neeson), the squad consists of hard-as-nails ‘BA’ Baracus (Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson), smooth-talking charmer ‘Face’ (Bradley Cooper) and the seemingly insane ‘Howling Mad’ Murdoch (Sharlto Copley). But hot on their tail are all the forces of the government and the army, led by dogged pursuer Lynch (Patrick Wilson), abetted by Captain Charisa Sosa (Jessica Biel). Living up to their reputation - “They are the best and they specialise in the ridiculous” says Charisa - The A-Team are forced to go rogue, utilising their amazing array of deadly and ingenious skills to clear their name and bring to justice the ones who framed them.

Old friends and new faces as Andy’s toys find themselves in a brand new home - and in thrilling 3D! In the first Toy Story film, loveable sheriff toy Woody (Tom Hanks) had to cope with the arrival of brash new astronaut toy Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen). The story continued in Toy Story 2, where Woody was kidnapped by an obsessive toy collector and had to be rescued by his loyal friends. And now Toy Story 3 has arrived - in glorious 3D. Years have passed and Andy, the boy who owns the toys, is all grown up and leaving to go to college in a few days’ time.

Reluctantly, he donates his trusty collection of toys to charity, and that’s when Woody and the gang find themselves in a new home. At first it seems like toys’ paradise, but soon a dark side is revealed and our heroes decided to make a break for freedom...

THE KARATE KID

Director: Harald Zwart Starring: Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan, Taraji P. Henson, Wenwen Han Jackie Chan stars as the martial arts master who mentors young Jaden Smith in his battle against a gang of kung fu bullies.

Twelve-year-old Dre Parker (Jaden Smith) is just a normal kid from Detroit, but then his mother (Taraji P. Henson) makes a career move that takes them both to China. Dre likes his classmate Mei Ying (Wenwen Han) but cultural differences make problems for their friendship. Even worse, Dre’s feelings make an enemy of the class bully, Cheng. Dre knows some karate, but Cheng’s kung fu skills quickly put ‘the karate kid’ on the floor. Dre feels alone in this strange land, but then he meets kindly maintenance man Mr Han (Jackie Chan), who is secretly a master of kung fu. As Han becomes Dre’s mentor, he teaches the young karate kid that kung fu is not just about fighting, but about self-control and adaptability. But will Dre ever learn enough to defeat the bullies?

How about a spot of supper at my place?

Anyone can be fabulous at entertaining, you just need to identify which type of host you are.

We are cooking for our friends more than ever. A recent poll suggests that three times as many Britons would rather cook a meal for friends on a Saturday night than choose to go out on the town.

In truth, we are simply reclaiming the informal eating habits of our past. While people have always entertained lavishly, the most sought-after invitation in early Victorian times was to “share a piece of mutton” at the family table – in effect, the kitchen supper. We’ve finally come full circle.

But we’re doing it differently. This is undoubtedly much to do with the current generation of chefs and cookery writers – Jamie, Rick, Nigella (like movie stars, they need only one name) – who have broken down the formality of cooking for others and made it seem, not just possible, but appealing and easy.

We no longer have the time or energy to fuss about multiple courses and complicated table arrangements.

In our increasingly disclocated and digital lives, entertaining has become much more about the gathering of people rather than the display of wealth and social connections. But there’s no question that how you cook and entertain in your home reflects your character – like having children, it exposes the true self.

However beautiful your bedroom, successful your career and energetic your workout, it’s your cooking that will reveal the sergeant-major, angel or slob within.

There are people who need to control all aspects of their environment and consequently obsess over every detail, and others who will arrive home, shopping bags in hand, at the same time as their guests arrive, then happily set about putting together a meal while sharing a bottle of wine and a catchup. The truth is that we do everything in slight approximation. We’ve learnt to accept that “good enough” rather than “perfect” means that we can run homes, look OK, eat well, enjoy our kids and still get out the Le Creusets from time to time.

It’s all about keeping things in perspective, knowing what you’re best at and focusing your energy in the right place.

Crucially, it doesn’t matter what kind of host you are: the important thing is to be aware of your particular modus operandi and have confidence in that. Here,

I categorise the four main types of host as I see them.

Whichever one you fall into, I encourage you to be aware of your weaknesses and focus on your strengths.

For all types of host, beware: the only real danger is pretending to be something that you’re not. If you’re somewhat chaotic by nature, don’t risk disaster by attempting tricky sauces or pastry. If you are having to juggle work and children, then just accept that this is not the time of your life to be tackling intricate pudding recipes.

If you’re chaotic and disorganised, don’t cook anything too precise, such as sauces or pastry – they just won’t turn out.

Similarly, if you’re juggling work and children, don’t take on too much – it simply doesn’t matter that this isn’t the time in your life to be executing intricate puddings.

Cooking for friends isn’t about showing off.

Hostess with the mostest Checklist • You have time to take a bath and do your make-up • You keep a store of scented candles • You make playlists for all occasions • You have an account at the florist’s • You label and stack everything neatly in the freezer • You hire extra help for the next day What to watch out for It’s great that you’re so organised – lucky you. Being well prepared is certainly one way to make it all run smoothly.

But don’t forget that it’s not a competition, and that domestic perfection can seem cold, daunting and a little neurotic.

Lose a little of the Stepford wife (stilettos are really not required) and you’ll find that guests will be more relaxed.

It will be more like a real home and thus your guests will settle into the evening and you will all have a better time.

Build on your strengths As you’re good at planning ahead, you can enjoy cooking methods such as marinating or pie-making that last-minute cooks won’t be able to attempt. Stick to hearty, rustic food with fantastic flavours – your guests will be united in sharing something seemingly simple, yet impressed by how delicious it is. Go for it with your pudding: few but the most organised of us really have time to bake, yet a homemade tart is one of life’s great pleasures. You could take a few chances on your mix of people, too. themhd

food&drink MHD Recipe of the month

delicious roasted white fish wrapped in smoked bacon with lemon mayonnaise and asparagus This combination is a complete win-win. Any robust white fish like haddock or monkfish will work brilliantly, as would whiting and coley, as they are all wonderful carriers of flavours and can handle the stronger tastes of crispy smoked bacon and rosemary. I love this recipe because it treats the fish almost like a piece of meat, with crispy and soft, flaky textures together. main courses | serves 4 Ingredients 4 x 200g white fish fillets, cut 2.5cm thick, skinned and pinboned 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary, leaves picked and very finely chopped

zest and juice of 2 lemons freshly ground black pepper 16 rashers of thinly sliced, smoked streaky bacon or pancetta olive oil 4 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 large bunches of asparagus, trimmed

Method n Preheat your oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6. Season your beautiful fish fillets with the rosemary, finely grated lemon zest (no bitter white pith, please) and pepper – you don’t need to use salt because we’re going to wrap the fish in

34

themhd

the lovely salty smoked bacon.

Lay your rashers of bacon or pancetta on a board and one by one run the flat of a knife along them to thin them and widen them out. Lay 4 rashers together, slightly overlapping, put a fish fillet on top and wrap the rashers around it. n Lightly heat a large ovenproof frying pan, add a splash of olive oil and lay your fish, prettiest side facing up, in the pan. Fry for a minute, then place the pan in your preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the bacon is crisp and golden. n While the fish is cooking, you can make your simple lemon mayonnaise. I do this by mixing homemade mayonnaise with a nice amount of lemon juice and pepper. Or, if you’d rather sit down for five minutes with a glass of wine, use some ready-made mayo instead!

You want to add enough lemon juice to make the flavour slightly too zingy. This is because, when you eat it with the asparagus and the fish, it will lessen slightly in intensity. And don’t worry if the mayo looks a little thinner than usual when you’ve added the lemon juice – think of it as more delicate. n The asparagus is a great accompaniment because, like the fish, it also loves bacon.

You can either boil or steam it; either way it’s light and a nice contrast to the meatiness of the fish. When cooked, toss it in the juices that come out of the fish. Simply serve the fish next to a nice pile of asparagus, drizzled with the lemon-spiked mayonnaise.

And if you’re feeling very hungry, serve with some steaming-hot new potatoes.

Body Image

Loving Your Body Inside and Out With a positive or healthy body image, a woman has a real perception of her size and shape. She also feels comfortable with her body. With a negative body image, a woman has a distorted perception of her shape and size, compares her body to others, and feels shame and anxiety about her body. Being unhappy with your body can affect how you think and feel about yourself as a person. A poor body image can lead to emotional distress, low selfesteem, unhealthy dieting habits, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.

Developing a positive body image and a healthy mental attitude is crucial to a woman’s happiness and wellness.

When you Look in the Mirror, do you Like what you See?

Is your body image positive or negative? If your answer is negative, you are not alone. Women are under pressure to measure up to a certain social and cultural ideal of beauty, which can lead to poor body image. Women are constantly bombarded with “Barbie Doll-like” images. By presenting an ideal that is so difficult to achieve and maintain, the cosmetic and diet product industries are assured of growth and profits. It’s no accident that youth is increasingly promoted, along with thinness, as an essential criterion of beauty. The message we’re hearing is either “all women need to lose weight” or that the natural aging process is a “disastrous” fate.

Other pressures can come from the people in our lives.

• Family and friends can influence your body image with positive and negative comments.

• A doctor’s health advice can be misinterpreted and affect how a woman sees herself and feels about her body.

Learning to Love What You See in the Mirror

We all want to look our best, but a healthy body is not always linked to appearance. In fact, healthy bodies come in all shapes and sizes!

Changing your body image means changing the way you think about your body.

At the same time, healthy lifestyle choices are also key to improving body image.

• Healthy eating can promote healthy skin and hair, along with strong bones.

• Regular exercise has been shown to boost self-esteem, self-image, and energy levels.

• Plenty of rest is key to stress management.

And don’t forget your kids!

The attitude of parents about appearance and diet affects their kids’ attitudes. themhd

Skin Safety Surprising New Methods

Courtesy of Jazzercise, Inc. - jazzercise.com

Do you consider yourself sun savvy?

You wear a hat when gardening outdoors.

You don your sunglasses when taking your kids to the park. And you never, ever leave the house without lathering on sunscreen.

That’s enough, right?

As it turns out, some of the newest means to ward-off skin cancer may surprise you. Eating blueberries, working up a sweat, and regular exfoliation are just a few of the new tactics proclaimed by sun experts to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

Take a look at these late-breaking shields of armor in the battle against skin cancer. Perhaps there are a few new habits that you can incorporate into your daily life to keep you safe in the sun.

Boost-up the antioxidants – Start your day off with a handful of blueberries on your cereal. Believe it or not, antioxidants actually help your body to

40

themhd

defend itself against the damage of UV rays.

Exercise – If sexy, summer shoulders and flat abs weren’t enough motivation to work up a sweat, add this reason to the mix. Exercise can actually ward-off skin cancer. Rutgers University researchers report that regular exercise makes us 32 percent less likely to develop tumors related to UVB rays. Jazzercise Founder and CEO Judi Sheppard Missett suggests exercising a minimum of 30 minutes on most days of the week for real results.

Nix the Self-Tanner – Self-tanners may give your skin a bronze glow, but they do nothing to protect you from the sun. In fact, self-tanners can actually increase sun damage. One German study reveals that applying self-tanner increases your absorption of dangerous free radicals by 180 percent! If you find it impossible to ditch your self-tanner, then at least apply it before bedtime. The negative effects

health&beauty of self-tanner lessen over time, so applying it a full twelve hours before encountering the sun’s rays can make a big difference.

Exfoliate – Dead skin cells build up a barrier, making it difficult for sunscreen to penetrate into your skin. Help your sunscreen to do its job by sloughing off dead skin with regular exfoliation.

Eat Leafy Greens – It looks like ‘Popeye’ had the right idea after all. Eating a diet rich in leafy greens can actually lower your risk for contracting cutaneous melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer. Mediterranean-diet foods, such as leafy greens, are jammed with antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, which fight off the cancerous cells.

While these methods for preventing skin cancer are important, don’t ever forget the golden, sun-kissed rule. Use sunscreen!

Use the amount of one shot glass to cover your body. Apply about 30 minutes prior to heading out, so that your sunscreen has time to absorb. Then, reapply every two hours.

“Bend & Blend”

A combination of dietary tips, mind/body exercises and latest research blended together to promote health & vitality.

This month, as you hopefully take some well earned time off from work, we look at giving yourself a treat with the therapeutic benefits of Massage and offer you advice on which treatment is best for you!

Aromatherapy Massage Deeply therapeutic, combines gentle, soothing massage with the subtle healing and health promoting properties of pure essential oils, mixed in blends for specific purposes.

Good for: Back pain and arthritis, migraines, hormone imbalances, digestive disorders, sleeping and stress related conditions. Boosts the immune system and enhances general health & well-being.

How it works: The oils are absorbed through the skin.

This normalises blood pressure, removes toxins and helps to relieve stress and fatigue Swedish Body Massage Medium pressure massage which soothes tired, strained muscles and stimulates both blood and lymphatic circulation Good for: Ideal treatment for pre or post sporting activities, sleeping and stress related conditions, digestive disorders, migraines, back pain and arthritis. Relaxing massage assists with cleansing and drainage of toxins from the body.

How it works: Pressure on muscles encourages blood flow to tight areas and releases toxins and accumulated tension.

Hot Stone Therapy The hot stones are volcanic basalt in origin. The heat

42

themhd

transference ability of the stones promotes a meditative, sedative effect both calming and deeply relaxing The heat penetrates deep into muscle tissues and joins increasing flexibility of both joints and muscles. Good for injuries and deep relaxation.

Pregnancy Massage Individual treatments or workshops for Partners Individual: creating a nurturing environment for pregnant women to really relax and de-stress. Working closely to alleviate many of the common issues in pregnancy.

Workshops: Aimed at pregnant women and, in particular, their birthing partners to give them confidence in supporting their mums-to-be throughout pregnancy and labour.

Massage can be incredibly soothing both physically and emotionally and can give the birthing partner a closer involvement in pregnancy and birth.

• Learn to use touch sensitively • Become aware of where to and where NOT to work • Understand the benefits of partner massage work during pregnancy, labour and beyond • Learn how to massage without then needing a massage yourself!

• Learn techniques applicable for both home and hospital births

Holistic Massage Specialising in creative work to stimulate the healing process and uses a combination of techniques to achieve this including traditional oil massage, vibrational work, Thai stretches and pulsing, visualisation techniques, structural realignment and spiritual healing.

Tuina Massage Developed alongside both qi-gong (therapeutic exercise) and acupuncture, as it depends on the same philosophical belief system and theories that underlie TCM, such as the meridians and the flow of qi in the human body.

Manipulations are used to stimulate points or other parts of the body surface to correct physiological imbalance in the body and achieve therapeutic effects.

Deep Tissue Massage Works similarly to Sports Therapy Massage and helps with: Muscular aches and pains Overworked muscles, Minor sports injuries, Loss of range of motion, Reduces pain Increase mobility and flexibility, Increases your ability to do your sport.

How it works: MET (Muscular Energy Technique) is using facilitated stretching to

health&beauty stimulate inherent neurological mechanisms to optimize a muscles ability to lengthen.

We have a team of professional and fully qualified massage therapists at the self centre for further information STR (Soft Tissue Release) is a please look under Therapies combination of movement on our website or call up to speak to the therapist and manipulation. individually.

NMT (Neuromuscular Technique) is using pressure to the trigger points in a muscle to stimulate a neurological response.

All the techniques above involve the patient working together with the therapist to ascertain the best course of treatment for the individual condition presented.

Alternatively you can just book a massage to indulge, relax and de-stress!!

LUNCHTIME SPECIAL OFFER! 20 minutes de-stress back massage or Indian Head Massage Aims to reduce stress and relax you before going back to work £20 for full twenty minutes treatment with 10% discount on takeaway lunch from the cafe!

Walking for health

PART II

Last month I looked at how walking as an exercise can help protect against heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and similar problems that seem so common today. Walking can improve your circulation, energy levels and lung capacity as well as increasing mental wellbeing, helping with weight loss and reducing cholesterol.

As before, if you have existing health problems or are concerned about your health for any reason, please consult your doctor before starting an exercise programme.

So you have decided to walk to improve health. Don’t make it too difficult for yourself; the easiest way to get motivated is to walk right out of your own front door.

Start with a circuit you know well, round the block or the local park, a distance you can comfortably cope with at your normal walking speed.

If you can only manage five or ten minutes, that’s fine, we all have to start somewhere.

Aim for at least three walks per week initially, at whatever level you are comfortable with.

Walk briskly enough to increase your heartbeat and

44

themhd

make you breathe a little faster. However, you should still be able to talk. If you don’t have enough breath for this, you are walking too fast and should slow down.

As your stamina improves, try to increase the distance or frequency of the walks, 30 minutes of brisk walking five times a week is a good target, but if you are walking regularly, your health will benefit. Break the 30 minutes into shorter walks if you wish.

All you need are good shoes and comfortable clothes. If you progress to longer walks take water and something to eat; dried fruit, nuts or cereal bars are good sources of energy.

Don’t forget the sun cream.

If you have any problem with joint or muscular pain, consult your osteopath for an assessment. A short course of

treatment may help put you back on the road.

For further information on walking, and for organised local walks, the Walking for Health Initiative, run by Natural England is excellent. www.whi.org.uk/ The WHI Team Natural England John Dower House Crescent Place Cheltenham GL50 3RA Tel: 01242 533337 Information provided

Eat and Stay Slim During the Holidays There is always plenty of good food on the table during a holiday. And during this time, many of us will be tempted to gorge ourselves. How can we blame anyone? Eating out on holiday is always good, especially when the family are together and loads of delicious food on the table. But how can we prevent ourselves from feeling guilty after all the indulgence?

Here are some simple tips to help us enjoy ourselves...

1

Eat a good breakfast

Have a healthy and hearty breakfast consisting of whole meal bread, cereal with low fat milk or yogurt with fruits and nuts. How can eating breakfast be good for the waistline when we will be facing lots of delicious food throughout the next week or two? The reason is simple. Eating a healthy breakfast will help us to avoid overeating. We will be able to make healthier choices during the days and not binge. It has also been proven that a person who skips breakfast tend to eat a fair few more calories throughout the day.

2

Choose salsa

Guacamole and salsa dips taste great and are much healthier than cream based dips. Personally I make sure that my dinner parties have at least 3 types of salsa dips and only 1 sauce type dip. I also make the layout of the table such that the salsa dips are more accessible to my guests. But if you must have that creamy feeling, use a guacamole dips; creamy and healthy.

3

Enjoy the food and enjoy the company

4

Share

Good food and good wine are meant to be enjoyed and savoured slowly. Engage your friends more than the food. Try spending more time talking and less time surveying the table. This is definitely a good way to have an enjoyable time.

Share your desserts with your wife or partner. It is so much more fun to try all the different types of cakes and ice creams with someone you love. This way, you eat less but get to try out a variety of desserts.

Enjoy your holidays. Enjoy your food. And enjoy that slimmer you after the holiday season.

August

in the garden

The school summer holiday’s are upon us... how about a salad mix?

If you have little ones who are getting bored of watching TV or playing computer games during their school holidays, have some fun whilst teaching them about where their food comes from and how simple and rewarding gardening can be. So why not try growing your own salad mix?

It’s easy enough for children to join in with and quick enough to reward by the time they go back to school. If you have a tiny space, however small it is, you can grow your own mixed salad leaves.

Rekindle the simple pleasure we all had as children, sowing seeds, watching them germinate and then serving up a simple salad mixed with a good dressing, knowing it is organic, a fraction of the price of packaged salads, and will crop for the rest of the summer.

Several seed suppliers sell what is known as ‘cut-and-comeagain’ salad under different trading names. Some of which include ‘Saladisi’, ‘Leaf salad’ and ‘Misticanza’.

These can be sown indoors from late winter or outdoors from mid spring right up until autumn. Just fill a container, pot, bucket, window box or as I have

54

themhd

an old wine box with compost.

Thinly scatter the mixed seed evenly over the surface and lightly sieve a little compost over the top, water in and eagerly await germination.

You can expect to be harvesting your first salad within 3-6 weeks depending on the weather, do this using scissors and cut cleanly across about 5cm above the soil. This way, the ‘stumps’ will re-sprout. You will just need to keep it weed free, remove any brown leaves and water regularly. Simple!

Rather than letting them get square eyes this summer, why not give them green fingers instead!

The holiday season is here bringing with it time to relax, but don’t forget your garden keeps growing! So why not enlist the help of those little ones with ‘time on their hands’ in the garden this month?

To maintain the flowering in your herbaceous borders, pots or hanging baskets, remember to regularly deadhead the plants and feed them to encourage new blooms.

While you cast an eye around the garden, note any spots that could be improved or filled for next year, it’s easier to do this now rather than later when plants have died down.

One way of filling those gaps is to take semi-ripe cuttings of shrubs and woody-stemmed climbers. Just select fresh shoots that are firm and woody near the base, but still soft and green near the tip.

Carefully remove the lower leaves and trim to about 4-6 inches long. Insert into a pot of compost making sure they are not touching each other, firm the compost around the bases, water and label them. Keep watch to make sure they do not dry out and remove any fallen leaves.

Overwinter cuttings in a cold frame or greenhouse and transplant to individual larger pots when they are growing.

Depending on how well they have grown, plant in either Spring or Autumn the next year.

Enjoy your August!
