Motoring Renault Clio dCi 110 Dynamique S Nav
Previously seen as the teenager that refused to grow up, the Renault Clio celebrates its 25th birthday this year – and with a host of new styling and design cues, could this be the most mature Clio yet? What is it? Originally launched in 2012, this is Renault’s facelifted fourth-generation Clio. Its mechanical upgrade comes with new 1.5-litre dCi 110 diesel powertrain, seen in Nissan’s Qashqai, and option of a manual transmission coupled with the pre-existing TCe 120 petrol engine. Renault has poured a lot of resources into styling – the exterior includes a new grille, re-profiled bumpers and an LED light signature, while C-shaped daytime running lights can be specified on certain models. Cabin quality has improved significantly, with new upholstery, matt chrome trim and soft-touch materials – no more scratchy plastics to be found here. With 30 different colour combinations, five roof decals, and four exterior customisation packs, the model has been dubbed ‘the most stylish Clio yet’. What’s under the bonnet? The pokey dCi 110 diesel 6
powerplant is linked to a six-speed manual gearbox, providing 108 bhp. 0-60mph takes 11.19 seconds, and top speed is 121mph. The diesel engine can be noisy when the car is at idle or moving slowly, but fades to an indistinct hum at 3,000 revs. The dCi 110 returns an impressive 80.7mpg, while emitting just 90g/km CO2. What’s the spec like? Spec on the £17,755 dCi 110 Dynamique S Nav is extensive, with an updated sound and infotainment system with Bose speakers and the new R-link connectivity system featuring as standard. However, the new diesel engine is only available in this top-level trim, meaning that drivers looking to spend less are left with the option of one of the pre-existing powertrains. The basic spec Clio starts from £10,495, meaning the range includes both affordable and high-end (for the B-segment) options. Any rivals? There are a host of affordable rival superminis including the DS3, Citroen C4 Cactus and Ford’s Fiesta. Drivers wanting a more premium experience can opt for the Audi A1, which the Renault is no match for. What’s it like to drive? This longer and wider Clio, with its sportier appearance and increased cabin space, delivers better handling. The car’s agility and body control is improved, but not enough to make the drive markedly different to its predecessor. The 108bhp engine is
By James Baggott powerful enough and the car accelerates with ease in any gear. The stop/start feature, standard on some models, works well and doesn’t cut out at unfortunate moments - as it does in some of the Clio’s B-segment competitors. A driver-activated Ecomode, which is standard on the Dynamique Nav model and above, reportedly improves fuel economy by up to 12%. Verdict Renault claims the Clio is more versatile and mature than its predecessor, but with the new diesel powertrain only available in the top-spec model, we feel the carmaker is shoehorning itself into the more upmarket end of the B-segment. The facelift does well to refresh the product and keep it relevant. But with 13 million units sold worldwide since it was launched in 1991, and 12,589 sold in the UK alone between January and June this year, we very much doubt the Clio will be going out of fashion any time soon.

GARDENING Brilliant Bulbs
by Pippa Greenwood
It is spring bulb time in all the garden centres now; they should be crammed full of bulbs, Many at a reasonable price and all of which promise to provide glorious masses of colour for years to come.
B
y all means plant bulbs in beds and borders, but if you only have a terrace, patio or a back yard, then there are still plenty of bulb planting opportunities to be had! Bulbs have the potential to make any garden look gorgeous, but you can use them to add an element of fun as well as glamour, colour and perfume. Bulbs look fantastic if allowed to naturalise beneath trees, but miniature varieties look equally good beneath shrubs. Choose miniature daffodils or crocuses and plant them in a scattered effect beneath the shrub, taking care to minimise damage to the shrub’s roots. Keep them well watered in spring and you should have a fantastic display. Ornamental plastic-lined woven baskets, which are available inexpensively from local markets or on the internet, make perfect planting containers provided they are at least 3” (8 cm) deep. Shallower baskets can be used for smaller bulbs such as crocuses - simply fill them with bulb fibre and plant up as you would a bowl of indoor bulbs. To ensure adequate drainage, puncture
8
some holes in the plastic liner and use any normal multi-purpose or loam based compost mixture. Baskets like this look particularly decorative in the spring, and if you add a couple of ferns or ivies to larger baskets they will look even better. An outdoor table is unlikely to be used for entertaining in spring, so simply cover it to prevent the surface being spoiled and arrange a selection of pots full of spring bulbs on it – the effect can be really splendid. An old bucket - particularly an enamelled or galvanized one makes a fabulous planter, but remember to drill some holes in the base or place a layer of pebbles or grit at least 2” (5cm) deep in the bottom, so that excess water accumulates below the level of the roots and the bulbs do not rot off. If your garden or back yard is a good size, then large containers will look particularly handsome. Packed with a single variety of one of the daffodils or tulips or any other spring bulbs, they will make a striking display. Plant the container up in two layers, so that one lot of bulbs
is a couple of inches deeper than the other, and the deeper ones will flower later than those planted closer to the surface to prolong the display. An old bathroom suite or parts of it make wacky and unusual planters. A bath may need a lot of compost to fill it – and don’t forget drainage but it can act like a full-sized flowerbed. Even a hand basin, lavatory or the cistern can be planted up to great effect. Old watering cans, wheelbarrows or even a decrepit pair of wellies or boots with a hole in them will also make wonderful planters and will save you a fortune! Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood.com for Pippa’s ‘Winter thru’ Spring’ collection of vegetables for planting next month, along with a really useful selection of Pippa’s favourite gardening items including Nemaslug to control slugs, pop-up crop covers, SpeedHoes, SpeedWeeders, ladybirds to control greenfly, pull-out mini tunnels, signed books and lots more besides.

ROME
THE VATICAN CITY By Solange Hando
Most of us know what the Vatican looks like but when you first set eyes on St Peter’s dome at the far end of an avenue festooned in olive trees and obelisks, it simply takes your breath away.
Rising to 136 metres, all silvery blue, it holds your gaze and you hardly notice the white line as you cross the border into the Vatican State. Then, suddenly, the view opens up on St Peter’s Square, where broad semi-circular colonnades topped by 140 statues welcome the world with open arms. Claiming just 44 hectares on the west bank of the Tiber and a population of around 800, Vatican City is the world’s smallest state and the only one where men can vote but not women, though some hold a Vatican passport. Created by the Lateran Treaty signed with Italy in 1929, it employs over 2,000 people, among them the Swiss guards who still wear full regalia on special occasions. Traditions 12
are strong but Pope Francis turned down the Papal Palace for a more modest dwelling, while in this ‘Jubilee Year’ millions of pilgrims are expected to pass through the ‘Holy Door’, open only every 25 years. Pilgrims or tourists, the basilica leaves no one untouched with its 186 metre long interior draped in chapels, relics, tombs, statues, medallions and other treasures. One barely knows a way to turn but pride of place goes to the dome soaring above St Peter’s tomb and the papal altar with its canopy of twisted bronze columns sculpted by Bernini in the 17th century. Bernini also designed St Peter’s Square but work had started on the basilica in 1506 on the site of an earlier church. It took around 120 years to complete with plans redesigned along the way by Michelangelo, then aged 72. He didn’t live to see completion but you feel his presence, from the magnificent dome and beautiful marble Pieta - the only work he signed, sculpted when he was just 25 - to the illustrious Sistine Chapel. In the late 15th century Pope Sixtus IV began to embellish the chapel, now named after him, commissioning some of
the best Renaissance artists to decorate the walls with scenes of the Old and New Testaments. The ceiling was blue with gold stars until 1508, when Julius II ordered Michelangelo to paint the 800 square metres of vaulted surface. From the Creation to the Fall from Grace and the Last Judgement, these powerful frescoes send shivers down your spine, restored in their original colours. Tourists gaze in awe, as no doubt do the red-caped cardinals when they gather in the chapel to elect a new Pope. To reach the chapel, tourists must pass through the Vatican Museums, where sumptuous galleries display items gathered over the centuries, including rare books and ancient manuscripts. There is so much to see that the last ticket is sold two hours before closing time. After such splendour, climbing up to the dome offers plenty of fresh air and unrivalled views: St Peter’s Square at your feet with its obelisk, colonnades and statues, the long avenue leading to the castle of Sant’ Angelo, glowing honeycoloured in the setting sun and beyond the river, Rome, the eternal city, spreading as far as you can see towards the darkening hills.

Get Amazing Internet Everywhere Home or abroad, here’s how to get the best connection
For many of us an internet connection is essential so what can you do if your connection is slow, unreliable or barely usable? The good news is that most internet connection problems are really easy to fix. To identify the problem, it’s important to look in the right place. If you’re connecting to your broadband via a wireless router, that wireless connection could be the culprit. Wi-Fi signals can be obstructed by things such as radiators, metal mesh in the walls, pipework and even furniture, and you’ll often find a poor wireless connection can be fixed by moving the router, or upgrading to a faster one if the existing router is getting old: Wi-Fi technology has improved dramatically in recent years, and a router you buy today will be much faster with much better range than a similarly priced one five years ago. If your home simply isn’t Wi-Fi friendly - because it’s huge, or made out of really thick stone - then a Wi-Fi range extender can boost the signal, or you can opt for something called Powerline networking. This uses your house’s electricity circuit to transmit data between plug sockets, which sounds like madness but works really 14
well. Look for Powerline AV if you want to have connections fast enough for streaming high quality video. If the Wi-Fi is fine or you’re connecting directly to broadband with a cable, it’s worth checking out the Speedtest.net website. This tells you exactly how fast your broadband connection is. You’ll never get the “up to” speeds advertised, but if your connection is falling far short - so for example if you’re getting around 1Mbps on a line that’s supposed to be good for 12 to 20Mbps - then it’s time to have harsh words with your internet provider. Most broadband connections are ADSL, which uses existing copper wires to bring broadband alongside your phone line. But there’s a newer, faster technology called fibre-optic. That’s what super-fast services such as BT Infinity and Virgin Media offer, and if you’re lucky enough to live in an area where fibre broadband is available it offers a massive increase in speed. What happens if you can’t get any kind of wired connection? Many areas with ropey broadband get decent mobile phone coverage, and if you’re in a 3G (or even better, 4G) coverage area you can use
your phone as a personal hotspot. That turns your phone into a personal Wi-Fi hotspot that you can connect to; it then sends and receives data over the mobile phone network on behalf of your connected device. Beware, though: such usage can quickly rack up lots of data, so if you’re on a limited mobile data deal which is the most common kind of package - you might find yourself needing a more generous data allowance. Be particularly mindful of data if you’re using your phone as a hotspot abroad. It’s often a better idea to turn off data roaming on your phone and look for public Wi-Fi hotspots instead, because something as simple as checking email and Facebook can easily result in big bills. Some networks offer roaming deals that enable you to use mobile data when you’re abroad for a small daily fee, but if you don’t take advantage of them you’ll soon discover that mobile data can be more expensive than gold, oil or printer ink.

The Night Of
H
BO, one of the premium cable/satellite channels in the USA, has a history of making really, really good television shows. It is generally thought to have been the driving force behind the so-called ‘Golden Age of Television’ we are currently in, with The Wire, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood (my personal favourite) and, more recently, True Detective and Game of Thrones all having been created for and broadcast by the network. Now, they’re giving us The Night Of, a stand-alone eightpart miniseries crime drama that is the best the genre has had to offer in years. In fact, it’s based on British show Criminal Justice, shown on the BBC back in 2008 and starring Ben Wishaw in the lead role, so if you’ve seen that you’ll know pretty much where the story goes as, besides shifting the location from London to New York and altering some cultural and racial elements, the HBO version remains fairly true to the original. The opening episode is ninety minutes of pure tension and could comfortably be crowned the best thriller of the year. On the night in question we meet Nasir Khan (Riz Ahmed), a Pakistani college kid who borrows his father’s taxi without permission to go to a party in Manhattan but ends up in jail on suspicion of the gruesome stabbing of a 22-year –old girl in her own home. A chance encounter with ‘no fee ‘till you’re free’ lawyer John Stone (John Turturro) and suddenly everyone is thrown into the deep
16
By David Tibbs end of a high profile murder trial. Except, it’s not that sudden. In fact, the trial doesn’t get going until episode seven. The most striking aspect of The Night Of is how it retains enough forward momentum to keep you interested, sometimes on the edge of your seat, while still taking the time to properly lay bare the intriguing but bleak inner workings of the American criminal justice system. It’s less about who really committed the murder, and more about how the people involved in the case go about their lives and jobs while this is all happening around them. The performances are excellent across the board, and you’ll be seeing a lot of Riz Ahmed soon, including in the new Star Wars film this Christmas, but it’s the women who steal the show. There is an argument to be made that the female parts are underwritten (and stereotypical; we even have a manic pixie dream girl), but every actress here does the absolute most with the little they’ve been given, particularly Jeannie Berlin as the opposing district attorney and Poorna Jaggannathan as Nasir’s mother. There is a strange eczema side plot that takes up a little too much screen time and a couple of contrivances too many in the set-up, but other than that this is as good as crime drama gets. This is serious, smart television with something to say but with a compelling mystery at its core. Go stream it all right now.

Get healthy! Make new friends! Come for a walk in Inch Park. Ageing Well is a project run by Edinburgh Leisure and funded by NHS Lothian. It’s a health initiaitive that recognises the beniefits of walking for wellbeing and social connection. Walking is one of the best ways to keep body and mind in good health. It’s easy to do, it doesn’t need special skills or equipment, it can be done anywhere and anytime. Plus, if you walk in a group you meet new people and have a chance for a good “blether”, followed by a cuppa and chat at a local cafe. Ideally we should all walk for about 30 minutes most days, but many of us can’t quite manage this much - yet we would like to be more active. Wednesday morning starting from 6th April. Just come along to Cameron Toll ( meet in the Main Concourse outside Sainsburys) for a 10.30am start. It’s free, it’s open to everyone over 50, and there will be qualified walk leaders to guide your every step. If you have questions phone the Ageing Well team 0131 458 2183 or e-mail: ageingwell@ EdinburghLeisure.co.uk

GILMERTON INCH COMMUNITY COUNCIL The Gilmerton

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 don’t know what range your voice is you just join the group where you feel comfortable - we have a couple of ladies who sing with the tenors. 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!
see you!

prostate cancer must absorb a lot of information in a short period of time.

Beauty
lashes look much longer. One coat is ideal for everyday, while two provides the wow factor for a night out. It’s also enriched with panthenol, to help strengthen lashes.
Little Luxuries
Makeup bags do tend to get rather grimy, and can be a bit of a breeding ground for bacteria. Mine can’t be bunged in the washing machine, more’s the pity, so I’m planning to treat myself to some new ones very soon. I have my eye on the Kit The Cat Make Up Bag, £15, and Washbag, £22, from Oliver Bonas.
by Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk
We all need a little pick-me-up now and again, whether it’s a new dress, lipstick or bar of chocolate. If you fancy treating yourself this month, these beauty buys are all under £30… You should never feel guilty about devoting half an hour to some much-needed ‘me-time’. A bubble bath, glass of wine, music and face mask and you’re ready to face the world again. Neal’s Yard Remedies Rose Formula Antioxidant Facial Mask, £26.50, suits most skin types, even us sensitive souls. Kaolin and pink clay help to exfoliate and draw out impurities, but the mask doesn’t leave skin feeling dry or tight after use. It’s very gentle, and helps to hydrate and soften tired skin. What’s more, as it’s packed with plant extracts and essential oils, such as geranium, rose and marigold, it smells lovely. I have two make up bags – one for my essentials and one for all those extra eyeshadows, lip glosses and other cosmetics that I might only dig out occasionally. I only keep the bare minimum in the smaller bag, so that I can find everything within the 30 seconds I usually have free before rushing out on the school run. Clarins’ new Supra Volume Mascara, £21.50, has found a well-deserved space amongst my other essentials. It glides on easily, without clumping, and makes 24
I love gel effect nail polishes. Nails Inc.’s are amongst the best out there, and they’ve added four new colours for autumn. The new range - All Fired Up - also includes charcoal to ‘help protect nails against toxins and pollutants’. I can’t testify to how successful it is at keeping those pesky pollutants away, but the gold shade (Crown Place, £15) goes on like a dream, gives nails a smooth shiny finish and lasts for ages. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so do take a minute to check yourself out. While a lump is one of the most common symptoms, it’s not the only one. Others include pain, redness and a change in shape, size or texture. Head over to www.breastcancercare.org.uk to find out more. Several brands have released products to fundraise for breast cancer research. Not all come with a decent charity donation though, so do check before buying. I’m tempted by Aveda’s BCA Hand Relief, £20. It’s a lovely product anyway, being rich in antioxidants and very hydrating, and a portion of sales will help to support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Microchipping your dog New legislation has made it compulsory to have your dog microchipped if it is eight weeks old or over. The government’s aim in introducing the new rules from 6th April 2016 is to relieve the pressure on local authorities and animal welfare charities to care for lost dogs. The legislation also encourages responsible pet ownership, and helps to protect dogs in society generally. Microchipping your dog will make it easier for you to be reunited should they be lost or stolen, as your contact details are placed on an approved database. How does microchipping work? A tiny electronic chip is implanted under your dog’s skin, between the shoulder blades. It contains a unique number which correlates with your contact details, so it’s important to make sure that these are up to date.
PETS
Microchipping doesn’t hurt your dog, and no anaesthetic is needed. It can be carried out by a vet, in pet retail outlets, re-homing centres, or via charity organisations such as Dogs Trust who carry out the procedure free of charge. What if your dog isn’t microchipped? If you don’t microchip your dog you risk a fine of £500, and even criminal prosecution in some cases. You’ll receive a warning notice giving you 21 days in which to comply. Dog wardens and other enforcers including community support officers have the right to seize your dog and make sure it is microchipped, and to reclaim the cost from you later. It’s also a requirement under the new legislation that your contact details are kept up to date on the approved database. http://www.petplan.co.uk/microchip-dog-law-info/ https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/help-advice/ microchipping/microchipping-faq-page By Ann Haldon

Cake and Bake Chocolate & Orange Battenburg Cake
This cake looks really impressive but it’s easy to make – just two flavoured sponge cakes cut into thin strips and wrapped in marzipan.
Ingredients: • 225g self-raising flour • 1tsp baking powder • 225g caster sugar • 225g butter, softened • 4 medium eggs, beaten • 2tsp finely grated orange zest • 1tbsp orange juice • 1tbsp cocoa powder blended with 1tbsp hot water • 4tbsp apricot jam, warmed and sieved • 450g marzipan
Makes 2 Cakes (each serving 8) Ready in 1 hour 10 minutes, plus cooling
TIP
Once made the cakes will keep in an airtight container or wrapped in foil for up to 3 days. 32
1. Preheat the oven to 180C, 160C fan, Gas 4. Sift the
flour and baking powder into a large bowl and add the sugar, butter and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is pale, smooth and creamy.
2. Divide the mixture equally between 2 bowls and
fold the orange rind and juice into one bowl and the blended cocoa powder into the other.
3. Spoon each mixture into separate greased and
base-lined 18cm square shallow cake tins and level the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cakes are risen and just firm to the touch. Cool for 5 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Trim the edges from each cake then cut each cake
into four even-sized strips. Using a little of the jam, sandwich 2 of the chocolate strips with 2 of the orange flavoured strips to create a chequered effect oblong cake.
5. Roll out half the marzipan on a surface dusted lightly
with icing sugar to an 18 x 30cm rectangle. Brush the top of the assembled cake with a little more jam and press onto the marzipan. Brush the remaining sides of the cake with jam and carefully wrap the marzipan all around the cake. Use your fingertips to crimp along the top edges of the cake. Repeat with the remaining cake strips and marzipan to make a second cake.
