elcome to the of the
issue
Here we are in June already. You’ll notice that the Braid Hotel is advertising for Christmas. The year is flying... I’m sure it’s not just because I’m getting older, but it feels like each year goes a little more quickly. I’m a bit excited as I write this today. In just over a week I will be in Australia for my mum’s 70th birthday. She has much of our Cameron clan gathering and it will be a wonderful celebration. Sadly, just as we’re warming up here, it’ll be winter there, but, it’ll be lovely all the same. So, for the month of June I can only be contacted via email not telephone. And many of you will likely be planning holidays too. Not long until school break and then the fun begins. You’ll see our new advertiser, Currency King offers holiday ease for your currency exchange. Finally, thank you as ever for supporting the businesses within the directory. Wishing you all a fabulous start to summer and see you again in August. Kindly,
Karolyne

Motoring
By James Baggott
Kia Picanto
and reducing the front overhang, but rear legroom is still limited. Up front you’ll sit shoulder to shoulder with your passenger, but there’s ample leg room and the driving position is comfortable.
K
ia wants to ditch their blue rinse image and target a younger age group with their spiced up city car. The refreshed model teams sporty looks with a more focused driving style to woo young professionals to part with their cash. But are the tweaks enough?
LOOKS AND IMAGE Kia has worked hard to liven things up, with an extended ‘tiger nose’ grille, smart LED driving lights and a large front air intake. Double wheel arches add flair, there’s a ‘shark’ antenna and the GT-Line specification includes sporty red trim and a twin-tipped exhaust. SPACE AND PRACTICALITY The Picanto is Kia’s second bestselling model in the UK after the Sportage and is predominantly bought as a second car by more mature buyers. Kia thinks the new technology – like wireless charging for your mobile, parking camera and Apple CarPlay – will tempt younger, first time car buyers. Kia has created a little more cabin space over its predecessor by increasing the wheelbase 6
Autonomous emergency braking – which warns, then stops you, if it senses a crash – as well as a smart torque vectoring system that improves handling by braking individual wheels are also available. WHAT’S UNDER THE BONNET? Three engine options are offered: a 1.0-litre, 67bhp, 89g/ km, three-cylinder; a 1.2-litre, 84bhp, 104g/km four-cylinder; and a 1.0-litre turbo charged, 100bhp version of the three cylinder. We couldn’t try the latter but both the 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre are punchy and more than adequately powered. Our pick is the 1.2-litre, which hits 60mph in 12 seconds, tops out at 107mph and returns 61.4mpg. Manual and automatic options are available across the range.
BEHIND THE WHEEL The Picanto will divide opinion. Older buyers looking for a comfortable ride will notice the improved suspension. However, the sprightly engines, quicker turn in and faster steering may make them feel too hurried behind the wheel - exactly what Kia is hoping younger buyers
will appreciate.
Overall there’s a noticeable improvement in both ride and handling, largely thanks to reduced weight and a stiffer body, but whether that’s suitable for you will depend on your driving style. VALUE FOR MONEY As the time of the test there were few details as to what options will feature on UK models. Kia UK will follow the conventional Kia strategy of one, two, and three levels of specification and the GT-Line, driven here, will slot between two and three.
In the GT-Line model we tried at the Spanish launch, a seveninch media screen, wireless charging for mobiles, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay all featured, along with a heated steering wheel and seats, climate control and electric windows and mirrors. VERDICT Kia has sharpened up the looks and driving dynamics of the third generation Picanto. In titanium silver or shiny red it looks striking, and will likely attract younger buyers who demand cool technology. However, these tweaks may put off the stalwart Picanto buyer. Kia is confident though, and is promising ‘modest price rises’ over the current range. The entry level model will be no more than £9,000 and the top of the range no more than £14,000. That said, they’ve meddled with a well-known formula and that brings risk – only time will tell if the gamble will pay off.

Gardening Outdoor Relaxation
by Pippa Greenwood cup or glass of your favourite tipple! A sowing of night-scented stock will produce plants that, although not flamboyant, have the most heavenly rich perfume – also perfect for early evening relaxation as this is when the flowers open and produce wafts of really sweet scent.
W
hen you get back from a hard day’s work, or when you simply find the time to escape into the garden after a stressful day, then it is essential that you are met by a soothing environment. It is all very well creating a garden with lots of straight lines and wacky bits of metalwork, but if you want to really let your garden take the strain, then concentrate on a truly relaxing feel that will help you to unwind as you enjoy soft shades and textures of foliage, delicate flower colours and fabulous perfumes. Plants have an amazing ability to calm and soothe even the most wound up, stressed out mood, but what should you grow if you really want to create that perfect place to relax? Start by considering a fairly gentle perfume, like that produced by many roses. One of my favourites is ‘Felicia’. For something slightly richer try ‘Tuscany Superb’. If you have an arch, arbour, pergola or even a spare bit of fence then train a honeysuckle over it. The combination of its delicately coloured flowers and fabulous perfume will cheer you up and you can even enjoy it in the early evening as you sit back and relax with a 8
If you have space for a goodsized container plant, then grow your own Datura or Brugmansia. Commonly known as the angel’s trumpet and although potentially very poisonous, these plants produce large elegant trumpetshaped flowers with a wonderful perfume. Think too of plants with a relaxing feel to them, such as the grass Chasmanthium latifolium. This grows to a height of about 45 cm and carries its flattened seed heads in vast numbers above the leaves. They move about delicately in the breeze and are almost impossible not to stroke. Grow some Artemisia abrotanum - its soft, wonderfully grey-green leaves will make you want to touch it, and when you do so you will find it also releases a lovely aroma. The perfume of lavender is often used in aromatherapy because of its calming, soothing properties, so what could be better to grow in a sunny spot with free-draining soil than some lavender? You can even use it to edge a border providing conditions are right, and it not only has lovely, slightly furry or felt-like foliage but also produces that heavenly smell. Take a look at some of the grasses and bamboos that are available; the rustling sound of bamboo foliage as the stems sway gently in a breeze, or as you brush your hand against

them, is one of the most relaxing sounds I know, and for smaller spaces many of the grasses form wonderfully rounded and quite irresistible clumps of foliage. When it comes to choosing favourite flowers, don’t forget that although some bright colour is a good way to cheer you up, if you want to relax then concentrate on cream, white and, of course, the pastel shades. There are a host of these available for annuals, perennials, shrubs and climbers. Don’t forget that green is known to be a relaxing colour too, so ensure that you include plenty of plants with good foliage and, in shady areas, you may find that a miniature grotto-like patch planted up with ferns is just what you need. And finally, before you rush off to the garden centre to buy some of these truly magical ingredients, just a reminder that water in a garden always helps to relax you. Whether it’s a small pond or perhaps a bubble fountain, position it where you can hear that sound of moving water or enjoy watching the wildlife as it comes to feed and drink – and before you know it you will find that you want to move the whole of your life into your garden.

Pandas in Chengdu China By Solange Hando
Only 1,000 giant pandas are believed to survive in the wilds of China, 80% of them in the south-west province of Sichuan where, in 1987, a Research and Breeding Centre for Giant Pandas was set up in a northern suburb of Chengdu. large enclosures and, if you’re lucky, you may get within feet of a bear. But most of the time they’re far too busy to take any notice, for there’s bamboo to munch, trees to climb and mates and cubs to socialise with. Besides the giant pandas, you’re almost sure to spot a few members of the red variety, much smaller and often going in pairs, sleeping in the trees, eating, lapping up water or just nosing around. Other rare breeds who found a home in Chengdu include black-necked cranes, white storks and golden monkeys who live alongside song birds, egrets, peacocks and swans. From the original six pandas rescued at the start of the programme, nearly 100 have been successfully bred, thus increasing the population without affecting those in the wild. Today this award-winning centre is one of the best places in the world to see giant pandas in a semi-wild environment. Not surprisingly, the centre is a popular attraction for foreign and domestic tourists, including Chinese schoolchildren on their annual outing, but those in the know visit early in the morning to avoid tour groups and watch the pandas waking up, all set for their bamboo breakfast. It’s also a pleasant time to wander through the grounds, before the heat sets in, and enjoy over 100 hectares of greenery landscaped to resemble the bears’ natural habitat, with hills and lake, 400 species of trees and some 10,000 clumps of bamboo and bushes. In this natural environment the pandas are not as pristine and white as their cuddly toy counterparts, but despite their somewhat muddy bottoms you can’t help falling in love with those big dark eyes that seem to look straight into your soul. Wander along the trails and you gaze in wonder as you see pandas eat, sleep or play in 12
Meanwhile the new-born pandas are cared for in the nursery, so tiny you can’t imagine they’ll ever grow into soft furry giants - but visitors who don’t mind the extra cost can have a peep or even a cuddle. But it is all in a good cause for this is a non-profit organisation and all funds are reinvested into the project. Besides the adoption scheme, the centre raises extra funds through various activities and the sale of panda memorabilia in order to sustain its twofold ambition: conservation and education. Conservation involves studying the behaviour and specific needs of pandas and encouraging breeding, naturally or, if that fails, by artificial insemination. Increasing numbers, they say, is the key to survival and the time may come when some bears born in captivity could be released into the wild. On the other hand, education means raising awareness about the giant pandas’ plight, not only in the Chengdu Centre but also worldwide by working with a range of partners far beyond the borders. Having settled in Edinburgh in December 2011, Tian Tian and Yang Guang haven’t managed to breed just yet but they are doing well and remain the only giant pandas in the UK.

ReflexIntegration&Stimulation by Pauline Shannon I use the INPP method of reflex integration and stimulation. This involves a simple daily exercise, done at home and taking no more than two minutes. These exercise programmes operate at an early developmental point to secure the foundations on which all other development is built. By revisiting some of the very early developmental stages, these programmes can improve neural efficiency, making life easier. Since reflex Integration works at such a fundamental level, it can help children and adults who have significantly different problems and/or diagnoses. I am currently working with children with Autism, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Asperger’s syndrome and developmental delay. All are showing improvement in confidence, balance, speech and coordination. Some also show a reduction in phobic behaviors, allergies and depression; improved bowel and bladder control and improved performance in school. What are reflexes? Primitive Reflexes are automatic movements directed from the brainstem which require no cortical involvement. They are needed for survival and development in the womb and in the early months of life. One of their key functions is to establish, through repeated use, efficient neural pathways to and from the body and brain. If they fail to fulfil this task, the pathways carrying information to and from the brain may not achieve the efficiency required to allow learnt skills to develop from conscious to subconscious actions. As higher centres of the brain mature, these primitive reflexes must be integrated in order for proper neurological organisation of the brain to develop.
The retention of primitive reflexes contributes to issues with coordination, balance, sensory perceptions, fine motor skills, sleep, immunity, energy levels, impulse control, concentration and all levels of social, emotional, and intellectual learning. W h a t c au s e s r e t a i n e d r e f l e x e s ? The causes of retained reflexes are numerous and there are usually several contributing factors. These can include: the health and stress levels experienced by the mother during pregnancy, a traumatic or assisted birth, falls, traumas, lack of tummy time, delayed or skipped creeping or crawling, chronic ear infections, head trauma, and restricted movement due to poor muscle development or casts. Implications of retained reflexes If the primitive reflexes are retained past the first year of life, they can interfere with social, academic, and motor learning. The perception of our inner and outer environment, and our response to it, may be disturbed. Children with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, Autism, and various other neurodevelopmental disorders frequently have retained primitive reflexes. Adults who suffer from anxiety, phobias and depression can often trace their predisposition to these conditions back to retained reflexes. How to start Arrange a time to chat about your situation and early years history. If it looks like retained reflexes are contributing to you or your child’s situation, a diagnostic assessment will be arranged. The assessment consists of a number of developmental tests and balance exercises which show which reflexes are retained. At the end of the assessment the first exercise will be given. Reviews will take place every 6 to 8

weeks to allow progress to be assessed and a new exercise to be chosen. Programmes last from 12-18 months. Some feedback from clients: “Although this was not the presenting reason for seeing Pauline my son (10 years old) stopped wetting the bed within a month of starting a programme. This made life easier for us all and improved his self confidence. Allowing him to relax more in the mornings and to have sleep overs at friends’ houses.” “Our son was struggling with dyslexia and little to nothing was offered by the primary school. They assured us that someone would read and write for him in high school… Following an INPP programme he has recently gone up to high school with no additional needs.”
Pauline Shannon qualified as social worker in 1995. Her interest in the difficulties experienced by children and adults in learning and coping with life led to the understanding that there are often developmental or processing issues which are, in effect, barriers to learning and coping. This led her to explore the interesting areas of Neuro Developmental Delay and Auditory Processing (listening) Difficulties. She trained in the INPP method and is an INPP licentiate. She is also qualified to provide Johansen auditory stimulation programmes.

FREE FIRE
I
n pretty much all of these reviews I try to avoid spoilers as much as possible. Sometimes that proves somewhat of a challenge. Especially when a film has a lot of characters and a lot going on, it can be difficult to give a good idea of the story without revealing more than you’d like. However, in the case of Ben Wheatley’s new shoot ‘em up, not spoiling anything is a piece of cake. What follows is the entire plot of Free Fire: In a warehouse in Boston in 1978 an arms deal between two gangs goes south, resulting in a ninety-minute, real-time shootout. That’s honestly it. It’s not the tagline or short synopsis, it’s an exact summation of everything that happens. Free Fire is an exercise in spectacle under constraint, and it’s really great. Wheatley and long-time screenwriting partner Amy Jump ramp up the tension from the very beginning. We never leave the warehouse once the characters step foot in it about five minutes into the film, but even though you know something is going to go wrong at any minute, the first shot isn’t fired in anger until after the half hour mark. From then on, the sheer number of bullets unleashed is unfathomable. Cillian Murphy is Chris, an Irish gun buyer fighting for The Cause while Armie Hammer (Ord), Sharlto Copley (Vern) and Babou Ceesay (ex-Black Panther Martin) are the sleazebags doing the dealing. They’ve been set up by Brie
16
Larson’s Justine, the only girl at the party, who is constantly being undermined or fawned over by the insecure, overcompensating idiots around her. Taunts and barbs fly as sharply and as often as the bullets ensuring you’ll be laughing about as often as you’ll be ducking or wincing. The 70s aesthetic is strictly adhered to; with the widest collared, kaleidoscopic shirts I’ve ever seen adding carnivalesque colour and vibrancy to what could have been a dull, greywalled warehouse set. The music, too, is very much of the time, with several John Denver numbers used to soundtrack the action. Rather like the use of Stealers Wheel’s ‘Stuck in the Middle With You’ in Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, there is one moment that will guarantee you never hear Annie’s Song the same way again. The score, by Ex Machina (by the way, one of my favourite scores of the last few years) composers, Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury, compliments the absurdity of the action perfectly, ranging from spaghetti western style Spanish guitar to seemingly off the cuff jazz riffs. Ben Wheatley has long been one of Britain’s most exceptional and archaic filmmakers. If anything, this is his least stylised and most accessible work, almost a polar opposite to last year’s superb J. G. Ballard adaptation High Rise. Best seen on the largest screen possible, this is a tour de force action comedy and I can’t wait to see what he does next.

Carers Week: Who Cares for Carers?
Carers Week is an annual awareness event highlighting the challenges carers face. This year’s campaign runs from 12th to 18th June and focuses on Building Carer Friendly Communities: ‘places that understand a carer’s daily reality and do what they can to make life a little bit easier for them.’ CARING IN THE UK The facts: • Three out of five of us will become a carer at some point. • Around 6.5 million people in the UK provide unpaid care for a disabled, ill or older relative or friend. • At least 380,000 older carers in England provide 50+ hours of care a week without any help from their local authority; over 100,000 are in their eighties and beyond. • Many carers are unaware of the support and financial help they’re entitled to. “We know that caring for a loved one can be a rewarding experience, but without the right support at the right time, caring can also have a huge impact on a carer’s emotional and physical health, work and finances,” says Heléna Herklots CBE, Chief Executive of charity Carers UK. Research shows that caring can isolate carers and potentially damage their physical and mental health and their relationships. It can also make it difficult to hold down a job, even driving them into poverty. ARE YOU A HIDDEN CARER? “Please don’t call me a carer - I don’t want that title. I am her son, not a carer!” “I pop in to my neighbour every day and do all her shopping and cleaning for her, but I am not her carer. They go in to get her up and washed.” These responses, gathered by a recent campaign to identify ‘hidden’ carers, highlight a common problem. Many carers don’t see themselves as carers if they don’t help someone dress, take medication, move about or go to the loo - or if they’re ‘just’ a husband, wife, parent, son, daughter, friend etc. Yet helping with shopping, laundry, cleaning, cooking, form-filling or money management is all part of caring, and caring is caring whoever it’s for. 20
by Alison Runham
BUILDING CARER FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES Carers say that support and awareness in their community make a positive difference. The Carers Week campaign wants us to raise awareness in schools and organisations; recommend carer-friendly organisations, services and businesses; and pledge to make our own organisations carer-friendly. If you’re an employer, this could include giving carer employees: • An extended lunch hour, giving them time to eat and check on the person they care for. • Flexibility to work more when they can, while allowing time off for appointments and adapting start/finish times etc. If you’re a GP, hairdresser, physiotherapist or any other professional person offering appointments, could you offer mobile services or make appointments to fit around carers’ needs? SOURCES OF SUPPORT FOR CARERS Help is available, but can be hard to find.

GILMERTON SINGERS is the name of a community choir that meets every Friday morning at the Society Hall at Gilmerton Crossroads. It was started around 18 years ago by three ladies who loved singing, with encouragement from the Community Centre management. Our Musical Directory is Nick Hayes and the choir is made up at the moment of 20 women and 2 men. When the choir was started, one of the aims was to give something to the community and we do this by performing at Care Homes. Community Centres, and local fairs and the like. Singing has been proved to increase health, wellbeing and quality of life. Benefits may include improved breathing, easing depression and keeping memory active. Because we are a small group, rehearsals are relaxed and friendly. Most people, when asked if they would like to join a choir, say ‘I can’t sing’. I’ll bet they sing in the shower, while washing the dishes or just for fun. Well, you don’t have to be a Pavarotti or Maria Callas to be an important part of a singing team. We do not audition prospective members and reading music is not necessary as we learn tunes by ear. If you would like to find out more about us, phone Muriel on 0131 664 1220 or email muriel.connolly@sky.com or call in at the Society Hall any Friday morning from 10amnoon. Hope to see you soon! LIBERTON AND DISTRICT COMMUNITY COUNCIL The Council

Beauty Here Comes The Sun by Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk
A coconut hair treatment, homemade body scrub and the perfect day-to-
night palette…meet your new summer beauty kit.
Lighter evenings are a great excuse for after-work drinks. Bobbi Brown’s new Sultry Nude Eye and Cheek Palette, £48, is perfect for popping in your handbag ready for cocktail hour. The four eyeshadows have a slight metallic shimmer and the blush suits most skin tones. Easy to apply, with great staying power, the powders are housed in a very lust-worthy gold case. The only downside is the lack of brushes. See www.bobbibrown.co.uk. If your lips are feeling a bit dry and flaky, Clarins’ Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil, £19, could be the answer. It’s packed with nourishing oils, including hazelnut and jojoba, so helps to soothe and moisturise lips. Less sticky than lipgloss, it hides dry patches and adds a touch of colour. The Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil is available in four shades, including a lip plumping Mint. My favourite is Honey Glam, which gives you a shimmery golden pout. See www.clarins.co.uk.
for months on end. And it’s surprisingly quick and easy to make one at home. Just add around two tablespoons of olive oil to four tablespoons of sugar. You’re aiming for a mixture that’s easy to massage into your skin, but not so liquid that it’ll drip all over your bath mat. The sugar acts as a natural exfoliator, and the olive oil is very moisturising, so it’ll leave your skin feeling much smoother. You can also add extra ingredients to the basic scrub. Honey helps your skin to repair itself and retain water, so try adding a tablespoon to the mix. If you’re not keen on the smell of olive oil, fragrance the scrub with a couple of drops of essential oil. There are four core products in Primavera’s new Harmonising Rose and Osmanthus body care range – a body cream, bath oil, body wash and body oil. Designed to nourish skin and provide a real treat for the senses, the products are organic and full of natural ingredients. The bath oil (£22.50) is perfect for a pampering soak after a long day. It smells amazing, and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. See www.pravera.co.uk. For hair in need of some TLC, try Neal’s Yard Remedies’ Rosemary & Cedarwood Hair Treatment. Organic coconut oil is blended with essential oils of organic rosemary, cedarwood, and lavender. You only need a small amount, less than a teaspoon. Coconut oil is solid at room temperature, but dissolves into a liquid when heated, so just warm it between your hands, then massage it through your hair. You can leave it on for 30 minutes, but I like to use it as an overnight treatment. (As an added bonus, the lavender scent helps me to sleep.) It leaves hair feeling soft, sleek and much more manageable. £6.50 from www.nealsyardremedies.com.
A sugar scrub is ideal for exfoliating legs that have been hidden away 24

Plan Your Car Hire This Summer
Wherever you holiday, having your own transport can add an extra dimension to your exploring, rather than having to rely on excursions offered by your hotel or travel company.
Even if your break is in the UK, hiring can ease the journey there too. A couple of years ago we caught the train to Cornwall; speeding by all the traffic jams was very satisfying and when we reached Penzance we hired a car and continued our journey. But if you haven’t hired a car in a while be aware that, since the abolition of the green paper part of the driving licence, in order to hire a vehicle you will now need to obtain a ‘check code’ from the DLVA website (www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence). You give the hire company this code to allow them to access your driving licence
information. These codes can only be used once, are valid for 21 days and are only for use with licences issued within the UK. If hiring abroad, check that these codes are valid in that country or if your photo ID licence alone is sufficient. If not, you may need an international driving permit too.
Finally, if you are overseas, in the words of Michael Caine in The Italian Job: “Remember they drive on the wrong side of the road” (well, the right side actually).
Joking aside, I found that once on the highway things were easy; it was at junctions and roundabouts that things got tricky. Oh, and I lost count of times I tried to change gear with the door handle! Enjoy your holiday motoring and have a safe trip there. By Iain Betson

Garden of Delights Gadgets to make the outdoors great again
It’s that time of year again: it’s stopped raining for a bit, the sun’s started to poke out from behind a cloud and most of England has had a hosepipe ban for the last five months. It’s summer, and that means spending all of your time outside for no particular reason. There is no shortage of gadgets to brighten up your outdoor life, from solar lights to barbecue boosters, but it’s worth having a think before you spend any money: for example, a set of solar string lights that costs about four pounds isn’t going to be very bright or last for very long. Look out for two things in particular: the size of the solar panel and the number of LEDs. The bigger the panel the more power it’ll grab from the sun, and the more LEDs the brighter it’ll be. Watch out for colours, too: normal white LEDs have a bluish cast, so if you prefer yellow you’ll need to look for “Warm White” LEDs. One of the best things technology can do in your garden is remove some of the drudgery. The Garden Groom Pro looks like a giant caterpillar, but it’s a hedge trimmer with a difference: it hoovers up the cuttings so you don’t have to spend all week sweeping the street. At £79.99 30
it’s not too pricey compared to normal trimmers, and at 3.5kg it shouldn’t break your arms either. While we’re on the subject of trimmers, for just £29.99 the VonHaus Cordless 2 in 1 Grass and Hedge Trimmer can make life easier too: it has interchangeable blades suitable for hedge, grass or shrub trimming, and it moves from handheld to upright with the addition of a single handle and wheel. Technology needn’t be complicated to be effective: Hozelock’s garden watering system is fairly low-tech but works a treat. It’s a modular system that enables you to run watering all around your garden by connecting multiple Hozelock components together, and controllers range from simple timers to one that connects to the internet and can be controlled from an iPhone or Android app. That component isn’t cheap - it’s currently £109.99 - but you can buy it bundled with complete watering kits for around £180, which isn’t bad for an entire garden irrigation system. Every year we ask ourselves the same question: can we afford a robot lawnmower yet? Sadly
this year we have the same answer: not quite. Prices are coming down - the Flymo 1200R Robotic Mower is down to just under £600 this year, compared to an original RRP of £999, but it’s still a little too expensive for us. You may disagree, however: £600 isn’t a lot in the world of premium lawnmowers, so if you’d normally consider a selfpropelled petrol mower the Flymo isn’t significantly more expensive - and it’s a lot quieter too. One increasingly important area for gardeners is security: thieves will happily run off with expensive plants, garden furniture or anything else of value. If you fancy adding a camera to keep an eye on things when you’re not around, Samsung’s very clever £125 Smart Home Camera is easy to install and works with computers and mobile devices alike. You can even get it to notify you on your phone when it detects movement, so you can see if it’s a fox or something more sinister. It has audio detection too, which is useful in low light.

Cake and Bake Apricot Jam Swiss Roll Great for a teatime treat, this light sponge cake is best eaten on the day it’s made. For a chocolate version replace 25g of the flour with 25g sifted cocoa powder.
Ingredients:
• 100g caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling • 3 large eggs • 100g self-raising flour FILLING • 100g unsalted butter, softened • 225g icing sugar • Few drops vanilla extract • 6 tbsp apricot conserve
Serves 8-10 Ready in 40 minutes, plus cooling time TIP
Use any fruit conserve you like or try lemon or lime curd for a really tangy filling.
32
1. Preheat the oven to 200C, Fan 180C, Gas 6. Lightly
grease a 33x23cm Swiss roll tin and line the base and sides with baking paper. Lightly grease the baking paper. 2. Place the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl and whisk with a hand-held electric whisk until the mixture is very thick and pale and the whisk leaves a trail when lifted out – this will take 8 to 10 minutes. 3. Sift the flour over the whisked mixture, and gently fold it in with a metal spoon until just incorporated. Turn the mixture into the prepared tin, tilting it gently to make sure the mixture spreads evenly into the corners. 4. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the sponge is pale golden and springs back when lightly pressed with your fingertips. Whilst the cake is baking, place a sheet of baking paper on a clean damp tea towel and sprinkle with 2tbsp caster sugar. 5. Quickly invert the hot sponge onto the paper and peel off the lining paper. Trim the edges of the sponge and roll up firmly from one short end with the paper inside. Leave to cool completely. 6. To make the buttercream filling, beat together the butter and vanilla extract then gradually beat in the icing sugar until smooth and creamy. 7. Carefully unroll the cooled cake and remove the paper. Spread the buttercream over the sponge then spread the apricot conserve on top. Gently re-roll and serve sliced.
