What’s On / Live Music

The Culture Train tour rolls into St Mary’s Church in Beverley on Saturday 27th November

The Culture Train Tour 2021 is once again bringing a taste of the Hull music scene to communities in East Yorkshire after being derailed by the pandemic in 2020. The fifth and final date of this years tour brings musicians to play at St Mary’s in Beverley on Saturday 27th November with a line up of Diddie Hair, The Cox Brothers, Jackson D, The Quicksilver Kings and Ruth Scott and James Wood of the Late Night Marauders.

These are five acclaimed acoustic acts and a large crowd is expected for the free concert on the Saturday evening.

Diddie Hair is a young singersongwriter from Hull who has been performing for three years and has performed at the Humber Street Sesh, Tribfest, Made in Hull P&O Trip and was also the runner up in the 2019 Hull Daily Mail Star search final.

The Cox Brothers, John and Peter Cox are two talented local musicians who have been involved in the Hull music scene for many years, played at many festivals and on BBC Radio Humberside on countless occasions.

John Cox has also appeared at St Mary’s on numerous evenings assisting several acts and as part of Urban Rain who performed here in 2017.

November 2021

by events linked to 2017 Year of Culture such as Hutton Cranswick or Nafferton via trains running from Paragon Station along the the Hull to Bridlington rail line.

The 2020 summer tour was cancelled due the pandemic but this has been rolling once again during 2021 with dates predominantly between September and November at large churches in a project once again funded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s ‘Active Creative’ arts fund

Jackson D Jackson D has been described as a unique vocalist and guitarist. An outstanding performer brimming with style. This is how the NME described him ‘Jackson D is relentless in his style and that boutique sound. A truly original talent ‘ ‘A unique performer – Brimming with style – Refreshing!!!’ Jackson D will be supported by Percussionist Zachary Theodorou and bassist Frank Johnson.

The Quicksilver Kings are an Acoustic trio weaving elements of country, blues and pop over vintage rootsy songwriting. They have played at all the local festivals for several years and are firm favourites of BBC Radio Humberside’s David Burns who has hosted live studio sessions for several years.

Our headliners are Ruth and James of the Late Night Maruders whose unique blend of soul, r’n’b & boogie is an Irrepressible delight. Late Night Marauders are led by whirlwind soulstress Ruth Scott and the piano wizardry of James Wood. Raised on a steady diet of classic R’n’B and jazz standards, Ruth developed a deep love for Ray Charles, Nina Simone, Etta James and Tom Waits to name just a few. Sometimes performing as a duo, and other times as a full band with added rhythm and horn section, their songs evoke visions of smoky basement clubs in the 1950’s where beatniks and jazzheads would party. They are now one of the most popular acts in the region and fantastic act to finish off this year’s tour.

This is the fourth year of this project and so far around a hundred acts have performed as towns and villages across East Yorkshire from Goole to Bridlington and Brough to Market Weighton and this year the tour has visited Newbald Village Hall, St Augustine’s Church in Hedon, St Mary’s in Cottingham and Bridlington Priory.

Twenty established acts from the Hull & East Yorkshire music scene will be performing at this year’s gigs and this includes people such as Carrie Martin, The Arkut Brothers Elwhaeko, Listening Club, Jack Parker. Cuba Drive, The Happy Endings, Edwina Hayes, Laura Douse, The Quicksilver Kings, Ellie Pollard, Gold Needles and many more talented performers.

The first act will be on for 7.30pm so people are advised to come early. The event is free so come along and enjoy a taste of the Hull music scene

Chris Warkup of Quiet Riot Arts is looking forward to the project; “This is a great opportunity to promote Hull music outside of the city continue our project to bring talented musicians to churches and offer a chance to see great local music within your community after a year of lockdown.

It is all free so check it out and a big thank you to the Active Creative fund for creating this opportunity for people to get out and see live music once again”

The Culture Train Tour project was first held during 2017 help take music from the City of Culture to communities who were not touched

How & Where To Buy Period Features It’s not uncommon to buy a period property but find many of the original and charming features have been covered up, or even removed altogether. If you love period features and want to restore your property to its former glory, help is at hand when it comes to what you should and shouldn’t do – plus, some tips for introducing older details into a new build....

It’s Worth Knowing When To Reintroduce Period Features “If previous renovations from past owners have removed period features in an historic property, it’s always worth looking at whether you could reinstate them. Many of these features are often a good way to hide something, such as cornice plasterwork covering the uneven joints from wall to ceiling, so depending on what else you plan to do to the space, they might not always be needed. That said, we’re currently working on a townhouse in Beverley that had all its historic features removed – all of which we’re carefully replacing.” – Garry Barker, director and co-founder of Dream Developments

There Is A Right Way To Choose Them “While you should try to respect the period of your property, you don’t have to be a slave to it.

The bones of the house are what counts. In a listed property, you should replace like for like, but there’s still plenty of scope to work within. For example, with Regencytype cornicing, there are a few different styles you can use, from corbel to the Sir John Soane’s ‘golf ball’. In a Victorian property, you can restore the original features, but it may be worth painting them in a fresher, more contemporary colour.” – Rob Moran, designer “It’s great to replace lost features and resurrect a building to its former glory. However, instead of trying to recreate everything perfectly, try to look at the blank canvas as an opportunity to create a new take, one that nods to the property’s history with certain elements but combines them with contemporary features and objects to redefine the space. Modern mouldings make a bold and perhaps more time-appropriate statement, but still with the same proportions as traditional mouldings.” – Murray Rose, founder of Hull Interior Studio “Purists will say everything should be replaced like for like but, provided the home is not listed or protected, there is room for personal taste and decisions which

are made relative to budget. At the end of the day, it’s your home and your money, so don’t feel you should have to live with something you don’t like. In a recent project in

Hornsea, we reinstated the cornice and skirting in the historic parts of the home but omitted ceiling roses to ensure it felt contemporary.” – Garry

House & Home about proportions and, ideally, stick to the same period if you want to stay true to the style of the house.” – Anna Beardshaw, interior designer

There Are Some Rules To Follow “When it comes to period features, think about how they will work together and, if you’re using two or more in the same room, make sure they complement one another.

It’s also worth keeping the details relatively consistent around the house so nothing jars.” – Anna “Make sure to get the height right for the scale of the room, too. For example, place dado rails at a correct height to stop dining chairs scraping the walls. Picture rails can be dictated by larger prices of art, with the smaller frames lowered

on chains to balance them out. As for ceiling roses, I say go as big and bold as you want.” – Murray “There are lots of books and resources out there from which to take inspiration and discover what your home might have looked like originally. For instance, historically, there was often a hierarchy of rooms – the entrance hall and front living areas would have had the most decoration, and rooms would get plainer as you moved away from the areas which guests would typically see. These days, things have changed, and you might entertain more in your kitchen, so it’s worth considering how strictly you want to stick to the old rules. Materiality is also key to properly restoring a historic home.

It’s usually best to use traditional materials and methods, such as

plaster rather than polystyrene and lime-based paints. These materials allow properties to move and breathe, and also help prevent issues like damp.” – Garry

scared of the ‘new’, but there’s so much inspiration online proving it’s possible to create completely new-build homes with soul and character.” – Garry

You Need To Be Careful With New Builds

“Adding an antique fireplace into an otherwise contemporary scheme can emphasise the melding of two timeframes. Another way to celebrate the old in a new build is to keep the architecture simple and adorn the rooms with period furniture and furnishings, such as ornate armchairs, sculptures and objects that will stand out against a plainer backdrop.” – Murray

“When it comes to newer properties, instead of automatically adding random period features, draw your inspiration from the local area and its history, and try to reinterpret that in a modern way.

In a St. Paul’s Square penthouse project in York, we used heritage colours from the Farrow & Ball to create a formal style drawing room in an open-plan, new-build space. All the modern furniture came from UK and international designers, alongside some of our own pieces. We’re sometimes

House & Home architrave is suitable relative to the width of the door. The colour you paint these, and the surrounding woodwork, makes a big difference to the feel of the room. Traditionally, people opt for white but, depending on the other colours you want to incorporate in the room, it might be worth painting them the same colour as the walls.

Cornicing: The level of detail and scale of cornicing can vary dramatically, so think about the level of formality you want to create. Many historic homes, particularly in cities, have increased in value and wouldn’t necessarily have been designed as an expensive property.

Sometimes, to remain true to the property’s heritage, it’s not worth overcomplicating the period features.

Ceiling Roses: Ceiling roses need to sit well in relation to the cornice.

In short, if you have a decorative cornice, you can opt for a similar, decorative ceiling rose. Ceiling roses can be lovely but they’re usually only appropriate in very historic homes where you want to emphasise the period charm. Only reinstate one if you can afford a good-quality plaster specialist.

Skirting Boards: Try to match the level of detail and scale with the age of the property. Make sure the height is in proportion with the height of the room.

Picture & Dado Rails: Make sure they are appropriate for the room and consider the colour carefully. You don’t have to follow any specific rules, but it’s worth thinking about whether you actually want to bring them back into a space.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council launches Household Support Grant scheme East Riding of Yorkshire Council has launched a discretionary grant scheme to support those who need it most with the cost of food, energy, water bills and other essentials this winter.

The Household Support Grant Scheme is funded from one-off central Government funding announced on 30 September 2021, and enables local authorities to provide financial support to households most in need over the winter months.

To help ensure fairness of applications and access to the grant across the winter for those who need it, East Riding of Yorkshire Council will implement the Household Support Grant as a discretionary scheme and make awards over two periods.

The scheme will run to 31 March 2022, or until funding has been fully spent.

The council will be contacting households who have been identified as eligible for the grant.

It is expected that the discretionary funding available will not be sufficient to provide support to all residents, and therefore will target and prioritise support for the following: l to support households with children, where the applicant meets the criteria to entitle a child to free school meals l to support households who are entitled to council tax support and have been identified as in fuel, food and water poverty l to support households who have a heating and water allowance in their financial assessment for adult care

l to support households in receipt of housing benefit and classed as in support accommodation l to support households entitled to universal credit and identified as losing the £20 temporary uplift l to support households entitled to universal credit and in the latest assessment period, have limited capacity to work.

For more information and to apply for the Household Support Grant, please visit https://www.eastriding. gov.uk/helpwithbenefits Councillor John Holtby, deputy leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council with responsibility for corporate services, said: “I’m delighted that the council is able to provide financial support to local households most in need over the winter months through the Household Support Grant Scheme.

The grants will help residents meet daily needs such as food, utilities and other essentials.”

In addition to this grant, the council also has an emergency assistance

scheme. If your household does not meet the Household Support Grant criteria as described above, but has less income than your outgoings (for essential services, food, fuel, etc) and less than £1,000 in savings, you may be entitled to support under the council’s emergency assistance scheme.

More information and applications can be made at https://www. eastriding.gov.uk/living/ emergency-assistance/ Households may also contact their nearest food bank where they require emergency support.

Details of the nearest foodbank to you in the region can be found at https://www.erfpa.org.uk/find-afoodbank/ Where residents may not be eligible for this grant, the council has an online benefit eligibility checker, which can be used to see if you are entitled to other forms of financial support. It’s free to use, anonymous and only takes a couple of minutes to complete.

Antiques & Collectables

To Sell or Keep?

When buying individual items from antique centres, collectors fairs etc I only buy items that I am prepared to keep or use as gifts.

I do occasionally buy jewellery or decorative items that I use for a while and sell when I have no further use.

Horse brasses, warming pans and crested china.

Rob Walls and Janette Wilkinson share their love of all things collectable...

Rob Sell or Keep? This is a difficult one; the simple answer is keep what you like and sell what you don’t. Also, the condition of an item needs to be considered; if you keep an item and then find one in a better condition, sell the original. I do sell items that have no sentimental reason to keep. I research items to find any provenance and its value – provenance increases the selling price.

I like to keep pocket watches, chains, fobs and all things horology related. I also collect money boxes but sell some on. I like to keep the Victorian cast iron money boxes but be aware that there are a lot of reproductions – these I sell on. I look for old bank and finance ‘book type’ boxes, they can still be picked up for a few pounds. I do sell on the ceramic and more modern boxes.

Tin plate is also a vast area for money boxes; I keep advertisement and company boxes and sell on the commemorative and modern ones.

Where do you buy from? The obvious answer is auctions, car boot sales, charity shops and antique fairs.

My star buy was at an auction where there were lots of books for sale.

Books have become unfashionable and are easily overlooked by many

November 2021

buyers. Amongst the pile of books, I spotted a pencil drawing portfolio that looked ‘professional’. As I was sitting with my sister and her husband, I convinced my brotherin-law (Doug) to ‘go halves’ with me. The bidding started at £20 and we ended up buying it for £100. ‘Not a wise move’, thought Doug. A couple of weeks later we got the book valued and put it back into an auction. The portfolio turned out to be a lost treasure, a sketch book dated 1827, drawn by a female artist from Mauritius.

At the auction it was sold to The National Museum of Mauritius for £2600. I did have to give an initially sceptical Doug his share of the profits. This story made the press, ‘Lost treasures found in East Yorkshire’. The story made us look like antique experts and paid for a lovely holiday. On the other side, a £1 buy selling for £10 - £20 may not be newsworthy but it is still a success.

When out searching for bargains, I always look at the jewellery, silver and gold. There is quite a bit of unmarked gold and silver out there.

‘How do you tell it from base metal?’ Well, the answer is experience. It is the colour, the weight and the feel. Gold will not be tarnished whereas silver will be tarnished and blackened.

Hallmarks can be difficult to see; hidden away or rubbed out. Often taking a risk is well worth it. I have bought a ‘gold looking’ chain for £2 that turned out to be 9 carat gold and scrapped it for £215; a pair of cufflinks for £1.50 were actually 18 carat gold and scrapped for £180. I could have lost £3.50 – often worth the risk!

Janette Sell or Keep? The one main piece of advice I have is, if an item has sentimental value, then keep it.

Having said that, I did once sell a sentimental item, but it turned out to be the correct decision.

Get Your Business Noticed

Many years ago, it must have been in 1972, my dad went on a work trip to America; a very unusual occurrence as this was his first and last work trip ever.

Upon his return from America, he gave me and my two sisters a variety of presents. Included in these was a Blythe Doll. I had always assumed that this was a present for my mum as it sat upon her dressing table for a number of years but, she later told me that it was meant for me. When I first started out buying and selling my mum dug out this doll from (literally) the bottom of a wardrobe and suggested that I could sell it. An original Blythe doll has long hair, wears a pretty dress (1970s style), has posable limbs and, most importantly of all, has eyes that change colour with the pull of a cord. Researching the doll, I found out that the doll was made by a company called Kenner for one year only (1972) and was taken off the market because they were seen as being too ugly. I sold my Blythe doll, worn and unboxed, for £600 to a collector in Spain. Being a kind person, I divided the money between myself, my mum and my two sisters. Out of my share I bought a beautiful silver and pearl dragonfly brooch that I wear often; an item that still has sentimental value.

The first antique that I bought, I bought to keep. It was a piece of Victorian glass. A little while later I bought glassware from the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 60s. I bought them because I fell in love with the colours and shapes, and they fitted into, my then, living room décor.

My living room décor has changed a few times since then, so I changed my mind about keeping the items and have sold the glassware; all except one piece from the 1940s as it is too beautiful to give up.

When buying at auctions to sell on, I tend to buy a ‘job lot’. Bargains can be had when buying like this.

Look at every item carefully and do your research. I once bought a box of ceramics and glass paperweights for £24. Amongst the lot was a very ugly paperweight, a garden scene with a ladybird. I was on the verge of throwing it away but decided to do a little research. The said paperweight turned out to be a rare Caithness Millennium paperweight which I sold for far more than my £24 investment. I have bought a few more bargains like this including antique Maling ware, rare Beswick dog ornaments and a Crown Derby paperweight with the gold stopper!

R and J Top Tips l Do your research when buying to sell. l If making a quick decision e.g. at a car boot sale, ask yourself if you will (at least) get your money back. l Do not buy damaged items as a small crack or chip will seriously affect the selling price. l People like to buy a ‘pair’ e.g. candle sticks, cups and saucers, small vases. If you find an item that you really like but know it should have a ‘partner’ buy it and wait to see if you can purchase its pair another time. l Always look for a name or trademark. This will help you to do your research and it will give you an idea of its value. l The new idea of selling a look for large or decorative items seems to be a buzzword – Retro, Vintage . . . l Always look at a sale as an achievement – you bought it and sold it for more. l Horse brasses, warming pans and crested china have fallen out of fashion and difficult to sell.

East Riding History - In association with the East Riding Archive

WW1 Lives: Celebrating a Beverley War Nurse At the East Riding Archives we remember those who served in the First World War with our extensive collection of over 1000 fascinating biographies of local individuals. Within this collection is the life story of Annie Norris, a war nurse from Beverley.

Annie was born in Beverley on the 24 November 1893 as the daughter of William Green Norris, a drainage labourer for Beverley Corporation, and Annie Hewson.

Annie’s parents married in Beverley in 1888 but then spent a few years

domestic service as a teenager, working as a servant at Cold Harbour Farm in Cottingham.

During the war, Annie became a Red Cross volunteer and served in the Yorkshire East Riding Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) where she initially worked as a cook.

Made up of men and women, the VADs carried out a range of voluntary positions including nursing, transport duties, and the organisation of rest stations, working parties and auxiliary hospitals in the UK and abroad.

in the Sowerby Bridge area of West Yorkshire before returning to Beverley where they lived on Stonemason’s Yard (later called Spencer Street), Cattle Market Lane, and then at 21 Prince’s Gardens.

Like many girls, Annie went into

From December 1917, Annie served in France helping in the wards at several auxiliary hospitals, including the 10th Station Hospital at St Omer and the 74th General Hospital at Froville, and later at the 72nd General and 8th Station Hospitals.

She was part of an army of volunteers: by 1918 there were 80,000 VAD members, 12,000 serving as nurses in the military hospitals and 60,000 unpaid volunteers working in the auxiliary hospitals. Annie eventually left France on the 21 May 1919 and was awarded Blue Chevrons and the War and Victory Medals.

The rest of Annie’s life is a mystery.

A person with an identical name, age, and occupation, describing herself as a “domestic servant” left Liverpool for Canada on 14 November 1919 on the SS Empress of France. After her arrival in Montreal nothing more is known of her. Could this be Annie? Please get in touch with the Archives if you know any information.

Escorted touring safe & secure…

October saw Emma and myself touch base and spend a day with many of our favourite tour operator specialising in escorted tours. This covers holidays in the UK along with all corners of the World being offered to be discovered. There are many advantages to taking an escorted tour against travelling around trying to discover new territory on your own.

Firstly cost, when you add up all of the elements included you would be spending probably 30% more tailor making your tour to enjoy all of the inclusions. The hassle is all taken away from you on an escorted tour allowing you to sit back and enjoy your holiday knowing you are in safe hands from start to finish. With competent drivers and knowledgeable tour managers you will be taken care of, understand local rules and customs and any new protocol that has been put in place over recent times. Enjoy travelling with like minded people and sharing your experience.

Guest satisfactions are high and once you have enjoyed an escorted tour many travellers are excited and look forward to another adventure in new country in the near future often with new found friends.

Our own latest tour had its challenges when we dealt with a torn retina in midst of our travels. It was dealt with swiftly which may have proved more difficult without our intervention.

The most popular tours we find include iconic experiences so let’s take at a couple of examples.

Canada’s most popular tour we find is to the Rockies and the ultimate journey includes the Rocky Mountaineer. Prices vary as to your itinerary but to make the most of your visit amongst this awesome scenery enjoy a stay overlooking beautiful Lake Louise, a helicopter ride over Banff and so much more.

If you pick a very inclusive tour then you do not need to budget for so much spending money whilst away. APT who we work closely with even take care of your tipping!

When taking a city break it is well worth looking at 5 day breaks to European Cities which include important sights not only in the city but a little further out.

A good example is Krakow which includes a visit to Auschwitz, a reason why many travellers visit this city. City breaks as an inclusive tour are also a good option for solo travellers as you will not be wandering around on your own unless you choose to do so.

In search of the Northern Lights or Lapland to see Santa in his own home includes hire of Thermal suits and boots as well as activities in your tour. There are various options to fly from Humberside Airport to for these experiences each winter.

A tour may include changing hotels as you travel between A and B but there are also many options based in a single hotel and travelling out and about each day. This latter option gives you the opportunity to miss a day out if you wish. It is your holiday and you are free to enjoy it as you wish but, if you choose to travel from A—B you have no option but to keep going with the tour as it moves along. If you are a first time tourer this is something you may wish to consider of course, we are here to help you with your choice. Travel agents do not charge any extra for their services but can be a great asset to helping you plan your holidays.

At present places are much quieter allowing you the opportunity to experience somewhere new without the crowds where ever in the world you are due to visit. This last week we have enjoyed a tour around the Isle of Wight and how nice it was to enjoy the sights without the crowds and this is the scenario around the world at this moment in time.

You may have noticed that Newmarket are not advertising in the daily newspaper anymore? They are still very much in business and as always can be booked with your travel agent. We have brochures available in our office that are free for you to take away. Several departures offer flights from Humberside too along with other operators for example APT, Wendy Wu, Cox & Kings to name a few. Whilst Titan, Saga, APT and Just You are some of the operators which include travel from your door. Solo travellers are well catered for by many operators generally Cox & Kings offer 3 rooms on each tour for solo’s without any supplement. The options just go on & on so pick up the phone and have a chat that is the best way to book your travel, you will get the answers you need.

We must always be aware circumstances for travel may keep changing. We have lost many precious months not being able to enjoy our normal lifestyle. It is a real treat to get out and about, something we used to take as granted.

At Marion Owen Travel we offer a full portfolio of holidays by all modes of transport so don’t hesitate to get in touch and let us organise your next life enriching adventure where ever in the world it may be. Our office is open now to visitors 9am to 2.30pm but we are available via the telephone everyday as normal. We look forward to hearing from you.

Have You Come ACROSS Suzuki’s Flagship Model?

For a company that built its reputation on delivering small, affordable, family cars, the Suzuki Across breaks the mould. Roy Woodcock reports . . .

You’ve probably seen it as the sponsor of one of those ITV mystery dramas, but there’s no mystery behind the Cupra Leon; the first Leon to carry the exclusive Leon badge.

Although it was officially launched in the Uk exactly a year ago, Suzuki’s flagship model, the Across, is still a very rare sight. Price will have something to do with it - the car is only available in one very high specification model at £45,599 - but the company admitted there would be only very limited production in the first full year.

Let’s see if that improves, for we’re talking about a car that rubs shoulders (price-wise) with something like the Land Rover Discovery or the very top end Range Rover Evoque. And this from a manufacturer that’s built its reputation on delivering small, affordable, family cars.

The Across is a joint venture with Toyota and it’s an SUV that shares its roots with the PHEV version of the RAV4. Such is the way of the motoring world right now as economies of world scaled are factored in and there’s already a second Suzuki model as a result of this tie-up (more of that later).

In order to compete the Across is given plenty of weapons: It is stylish and offers a comprehensive array of standard kit. There’s an electronic 4x4 system, which ensures efficient and effective performance, confidenceinspiring handling and control even in slippery conditions, plus

heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, dual zone automatic air conditioning, auto function opening tailgate and nine-inch multimedia touchscreen as standard, together with all the electric and electronic aids you would expect from a vehicle in this price range.

Fuel efficiency ticks all the right boxes, too. This is a plug-in hybrid with a 2.5-litre engine supported by not one, but two, electric motors, and the “official” (WLTP) fuel consumption figure is given as 282mpg.

Couple this with an official carbon dioxide emissions rating of just 22g/km and a benefit in kind taxation rate of six per cent, and

this Suzuki is undoubtedly going to make a lot of sense for, say, company car drivers whose businesses allow them the initial outlay.

In the real world, however, getting anywhere near that official fuel consumption figure will only ever be achieved if the car is driven for most of the time using the battery.

Electric-only running can get somewhere near 46 miles, so what that means is you’ll need to charge the battery every night to get the best from this PHEV. Based on limited experiences with the car on a mix of long and short journeys and without constant recharging, the fuel return is closer to 43mpg.

To cope with the hybrid powertrain the gearbox is a continuously variable transmission and that works in a splendid fashion under all conditions.

Performance figures are 0 to 62mph acceleration in six seconds and a top speed of 112mph and on the road the Across is brisk off the mark although unusually in this day and age there is a degree of understeer if cornered briskly.

Nevertheless, it is a competent performer on and off the road with three drive modes to go at to get the best out of the powertrain.

If you’re looking at this car in terms of it being a useful tow vehicle,

The Across looks muscular with an in-your-face design featuring big alloy wheels and meaty wheel arch

mouldings as well as a rock-star feel thanks to tinted windows, neat LED headlights with daytime running lights, twin tailpipes and a rear upper spoiler.

The interior is modern, plush and well put together with soft-touch materials used in all the right places.

With a nine-inch touchscreen in the centre of the dash and a fully equipped instrument panel the cabin looks the part but the lack of a fitted sat nav system means only smartphone directions are available either via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

That’s a shortcoming in a car costing this much but a trait of modern times with phones becoming vital parts of so much of everyday living. However, it leaves the map button on the display panel redundant and a feature only available on its Toyota sister-ship.

It all adds up to a classy hybrid SUV that is fast, fuel efficient, spacious and easy to live with. But, and it’s a very BIG but, if you have £46,000 to play with then you really are spoilt for choice.

Now then, that other Suzuki/Toyota model I mentioned . . . based on the Toyota Corolla estate, the Suzuki Swace was launched around the same time as the Across and is built in Britain at the Toyota factory in Burnaston near Derby, priced from £27,499. Hopefully more on that in a later road test.

400g of sustainable red salmon

l

200g of linguine

l

1 shallot, finely diced

l

3 cloves of garlic, finely diced

Does BMI matter?

between fat and muscle.

This means people with a lot of muscle mass will often have a high BMI, even though their body fat is in the healthy range.

BMI also doesn’t reflect where body fat is stored. For this reason, your waist circumference measurement is now considered vital. In fact, some studies suggest that it alone is a more useful measurement. A waist size over 94cm for men and over 80cm for women is considered a potential health risk.

New Diet Research...

Eating a healthy, Mediterranean-style diet may be more important for good health than how much you weigh.

A range of factors aside from weight influences our health - from sleep quality and stress levels to alcohol intake, smoking status, physical activity and diet. In fact, the results of a 2020 study designed to identify whether BMI or a Mediterraneanstyle diet had the bigger influence on the risk of death suggest eating a healthy diet may be more important than how much you weigh.

The study researchers discovered that, while eating a Mediterranean diet helped compensate for the

negative effect high BMI can have on longevity, people with BMIs in the healthy range who didn’t follow the diet actually had a higher risk of death than people in any other weight category who did follow the diet.

A Mediterraneanstyle diet consists of eating a good variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fermented dairy products, unrefined grains, fish and olive oil, while keeping intake of red meat and alcohol to a minimum.

One in two people classified as overweight

Roy Woodcock’s

World of Wine I’ve been shopping around this month to bring you some of the latest wine news from our major supermarkets. And first up is Waitrose, which has just introduced five new wines to its successful “Loved & Found” range.

The new additions, which are available in shops and online at Waitrose Cellar, are curated by the company’s buying team and represent lesser-known grape varieties from South Africa, Italy and Portugal.

The Loved & Found range launched in June 2019. Wine buyer Rebecca Hull told me: “We know our customers love to explore the unknown when it comes to wine and we’re thrilled to be able to offer these new and exciting varieties from a range of winemakers.

“We’ve looked for diversity of flavour, something truly different but eminently approachable and delicious. It was also important to us that the wines are all under £10 and offer great value to customers.

These are the wines that we believe have the potential to be the popular varieties of the future.”

Four of the original line-up are being replaced with five brand new varieties: Waitrose Loved & Found Bukettraube, South Africa (£8.99),

Loved & Found Castelao, Portugal (£6.99), Loved & Found Fernao Pires, South Africa (£6.99), Loved & Found Roero Arneis, Italy (£7.99) and Loved & Found Perricone, Italy (£7.99).

The following five original wines are staying in the range: Waitrose Loved and Found Ebling, Germany (£6.99), Loved and Found Petit Manseng, Jurancon, France (£9.99), Loved and Found Marselan, Rhône, France (£6.99), Loved and Found Pais, Chile (£7.99) and Loved and Found Pecorino, Italy (£8.99).

spicy food - think Thai curries - and mature cheeses.

with Nero d’Avola, where it brings texture and deep colour.

The Castelao is one of Portugal’s many indigenous varieties, and one of its most planted too, Castelao is predominantly used as part of blends, but is increasingly being seen on its own as interest grows in single varietal Portuguese reds.

It’s mediumbodied, a classic example of this variety, with an expressive nose of raspberries and blackberries. On the palate there is rich fruit which is kept fresh by a well-balanced acidity.

* Lidll is now selling magnums of two of its most popular red wines Baturrica Gran Reserva and Heredad Ducel Tempranillo, both from Spain - for just £9.99 each. Master of Wine Richard Bampfield, who consults for Lidl, said: “Consistently one of the favourite wines at the tastings I present is the Baturrica Gran Reserva, and if there is a better value red at under £5 in the country, I have yet to find it.

Fernao Pires was originally brought to South Africa from Portugal and grown for brandy production.

The wine is light-bodied and very refreshing, with lively acidity, distinctive floral (rose petals and blossom) aromas and abundant stone fruit on the palate.

Looking at the new wines in a little more detail, Bukettraube is the oldest man-made crossing of grape varieties on the planet - Sylvaner crossed with Trollinger. There are 42 hectares in total in the world and Cederberg in South Africa has 11 hectares. It came to South Africa via Alsace. David Nieuwoudt (pictured above) - owner and winemaker at Cederberg - describes this wine as having a perfume akin to Gewurztraminer, but with fantastic acidity similar to Riesling.

The off-dry style is amazing with

Best Buys for November

The Roero Arneis is a dry, unoaked, light-bodied Italian white wine, with zesty acidity, and subtle flavours of orchard fruit (pear, white peach) and spring blossom.

Finally, the Perricone, from Sicily, is a medium to full bodied red-wine, subtly oaked and packed with spicy brambly fruit, and has a wild herb edge. Southern Italian and Sicilian reds are currently in strong growth for Waitrose. Perricone is a native north-west Sicilian red grape variety, grown in small quantities on the island’s west coast, around the towns of Marsala and Trapani.

It is most commonly used in blends

Both wines are available in the 1.5-litre bottles while stocks last. * Morrisons The Best Toscana 2019 has been awarded a top score at the Decanter IGT Tuscan Red Tasting, attracting an impressive 92 points from experts. It was placed ahead of 45 other pricier bottles, including Brancaia Il Blu Toscana 2018 which retails for £80.

Judges were impressed with its “enticing nose of red plums, cherries in liqueur, creamy oak and tobacco leaves” and also complemented its “well-textured tannins with a meaty finish.”

Mark Jarman, senior wine sourcing manager at Morrisons said: “The Best Toscana is now one of the stars in our The Best Italian range.

It’s fantastic to see it getting this recognition - it’s a rich, flavoursome and complex wine that’s absolutely perfect for enjoying as the nights draw in. It will also improve even further with age, so if you’ve got somewhere dark and cool to store it, tuck it away for a year or two.”

Until next month - take care.

How To Make Carbs Part Of A Healthy Diet Whether it’s a bowl of pasta or roast potatoes with your Sunday lunch, carbs have long been demonised for causing excess weight gain and sluggishness.

Nutritionists agree they are an essential part of the diet – when consumed correctly, they can actually improve energy levels and even gut health.

Focus On Nutrient-Dense Carbs It’s common knowledge that the likes of croissants, white sliced bread and French fries won’t do much from a nutritional point of view, but that’s not to say all carbs are the devil, explains nutritionist Jenna Ward. Simple carbs, found in puddings, sugary drinks and white rice, pasta and bread are easier to overeat as they get readily absorbed into the blood. What the body doesn’t need, however, gets stored in fat cells. Doing this regularly over time can lead to weight gain, which is why carb-rich foods are often blamed for weight gain. “When it comes to making choices around carbs, it’s about making smart choices instead of excluding them altogether. Carbs are essential for energy production, mental wellbeing and gut health.

Ditch white carbs and focus on starchy vegetables such as sweet potatoes, butternut squash, beans and pulses, and opt for wholegrain pasta and brown rice, as well as sourdough instead of your usual loaf,” says Jenna. “By choosing complex carbs, you’ll feel fuller for longer and are less likely to experience a blood sugar crash. The fibre they contain will also benefit gut health and keep you regular.”

Switch Couscous For Quinoa If you’re partial to a side of couscous, consider switching it up for quinoa, advises Jenna.

“Quinoa contains nearly twice as much fibre as couscous, and it releases nutrients slowly into the bloodstream, keeping blood sugar balanced. Quinoa has also been shown to favour weight loss, as it produces lower free fatty acid levels than other grains, which are linked to insulin resistance. Try making your own Buddha bowl for a quick and healthy supper. Lightly

November 2021

steam a few handfuls of kale, peeled carrots, red beetroot and broccoli, and mix with a quarter of a cup of chopped almonds and a cup of cooked quinoa. For the dressing, mix one clove of garlic with fresh ginger, the juice of half a lemon, two tablespoons of organic tahini and one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.”

Add Nuts To Your Breakfast “Having a small bowl of healthy carbs will set you up nicely for the day,” says Jenna. “But what you choose matters. Old-fashioned oats are a great choice, as is any cereal that lists wholegrain first on the ingredient list and is low in sugar. Choose a cereal that has at least 4g of fibre and less than 8g of sugar per serving. Adding a handful of nuts to your cereal or bowl of porridge will also keep blood sugar levels stable – I always add either hazelnuts or almonds to my breakfast.” And if porridge is your thing, Jenna recommends choosing jumbo oats over regular porridge oats, as they’ll release energy more slowly into the bloodstream.

Swap Jam For Peanut Butter If you can’t start your day without a couple of slices of toast or a bagel, pair it with a source of protein to balance blood sugar until lunchtime. “One clever trick for making carbs healthier is eating a food with a high GI index – i.e. a simple carb such as bread or white pasta – alongside some protein.

For example, if you’re having a white bagel for breakfast, spread it with a tablespoon of nut butter instead of strawberry jam,” Jenna recommends.

Don’t Ditch White Rice White carbs may get a bad rap, but white basmati rice is the exception, says Jenna. “Both brown and white basmati rice have the

Get Your Business Noticed

lowest glycaemic index (GI) of all rice varieties. Wholegrain basmati rice has the lowest GI, but there isn’t much in it, so if you want a bowl of white rice, just be sure to make it basmati.” Taking the GI index into consideration, it’s also worth cooking your pasta al dente, as a longer cooking time raises a pasta’s GI score. “Pasta carbs are trapped inside a network of gluten, slowing their conversion into glucose, meaning the longer you cook it, the more glucose is released,” she adds.

Load Up On Berries To maintain a healthy weight, it’s worth moderating the amount of fruit you eat, particularly those high in sugar. “Berries are fantastic as they’re relatively low in sugar and yet still taste deliciously sweet.

I love to use frozen berries in a smoothie. Steer clear of dried fruits, however, which contain around ten times the amount of sugar found in fresh and frozen berries.” Berries aside, any fruit high in fibre gets the green light. “The higher the fibre, the slower your body breaks down the carbs from the fruit’s sugars, preventing blood sugar spikes, which can lead to weight gain and metabolic issues,” she adds.

“Apples are a great example – they are very low on the GI scale and contain prebiotics, which feed the good bacteria in your gut. This, in turn, can improve gut health and regulate mood. Add a spoonful of tahini and a dash of cinnamon to apple slices to help further control blood sugar fluctuations.”

Swap Brown Bread For Rye There’s real science behind swapping a white loaf for a brown one but take things one step further and choose a rye loaf for further health benefits. “Studies show wholegrain rye bread ranks number one among the various rye flours when it comes to controlling blood sugar and regulating appetite,” says Jenna. “Wholegrain rye crispbread is also a good option, as is regular sourdough bread, which triggers lower blood glucose levels than other breads. The fermentation process used when making sourdough changes the structure of the carbs. Rye and sourdough are also packed with fibre, and studies show fibre-rich starch will

decrease hunger sensations, keep you regular and feed your good gut bacteria. A healthy and varied microbiome is linked to lower levels of inflammation, which is conducive to a balanced weight,” she says.

Be Savvy With Potatoes As long as they’re not consumed in the form of French fries, potatoes can be part of a balanced diet, says Jenna. “Boiled potatoes have a lower GI than baked ones and allowing potatoes to cool slightly before eating them can also be beneficial, as cooking a potato raises the GI, while cooling it lowers the GI. This may sound like a simple hack, but it can make a difference to blood sugar and how the carbs are stored. It may also be helpful to know that anything acidic will lower a meal’s GI. Add a squeeze of lemon juice or some vinegar to your dish and you could lower its GI by around 20-35%.” It could also be eating more sweet potatoes.

“Sweet potatoes have been shown to increase levels of a hormone called adiponectin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar and helps encourage a faster metabolism.

They’re also fat-free and have fewer calories than white potatoes.”

Rethink Portion Sizes If you want to lose a few pounds and still eat carbs, the experts say it is possible, it just comes down to sensible portions. “We’ve become accustomed to base our meals on a large serving of starchy carbs, like rice, bread or pasta,” says Kim. “Instead, try to make carbs a smaller part of your meal, alongside a source of protein, a moderate portion of healthy fats and plenty of veg, rather than the main event.”

It could also be worth thinking about how you balance out the rest of your meals throughout the day, says Jenna, who recommends a macronutrient ratio of 50% fat, 25% protein and 25% carbs to her weight-loss clients. 50g of carbs per day is a sensible amount if you want to lose a few pounds fairly quickly. “As a guide, one medium slice of wholemeal bread, three Ryvita and 50g of basmati rice each contain around 15g of carbs.”

Literature

The best reads for November

From the newly discovered novel by a feminist icon to immersive books from some of the best-loved authors out there, this selection has something for everyone. ....

The Inseparables

by Simone de Beauvoir The Inseparables is the lost novel from Simone de Beauvoir – author of The Second Sex – now published in English for the first time. It details the compulsive story of two friends growing up and falling apart. When Andrée joins her school, Sylvie is immediately fascinated. Andrée is small for her age but walks with the confidence of an adult. Under her red coat, she hides terrible burn scars. And when she imagines beautiful things, she gets goosebumps. The girls become close and talk for hours about equality, justice, war and religion. They lose respect for their teachers and build a world of their own. But they can’t stay like this forever. Written in 1954, five years after The Second Sex, the novel was never published in de Beauvoir’s lifetime. This first English edition includes an afterword by her adopted daughter, who discovered the manuscript hidden in a drawer, and photographs of the real-life friendship which inspired and tormented the author.

Cloud Cuckoo Land

by Anthony Doerr From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of All The Light We Cannot See, comes the highly anticipated Cloud Cuckoo Land. Set in Constantinople in the 15th century, in a small town in present-day Idaho, and on a spaceship decades from now, Anthony Doerr’s third novel is a soaring story about children on the cusp of adulthood in imperilled worlds finding resilience and hope.

Thirteenyear-old orphan Anna lives inside the formidable walls of Constantinople. Restless and insatiably curious, she learns to read and finds a book, the story of Aethon, who longs to

November 2021

be turned into a bird so he can fly to a paradise in the sky. Five hundred years later, in a library in Idaho, octogenarian Zeno, who learned Greek as a prisoner of war, rehearses five children in a play adaptation of Aethon’s story, preserved against all odds through centuries. And in a not-so-distant future, on the interstellar ship Argos, Konstance is alone in a vault, writing down the story of Aethon, told to her by her father. Like Marie-Laure and Werner in All The Light We Cannot See, Anna, Zeno and Konstance are dreamers and outsiders who find resourcefulness and hope in the midst of grave danger as their lives become wonderfully intwined.

The Fran Lebowitz Reader

by Fran Lebowitz In the vein of Fran Lebowitz’s acclaimed Martin Scorsese-directed Netflix series – Pretend It’s a City – The Fran Lebowitz Reader brings together two of the famed author’s bestsellers, Metropolitan Life and Social Studies. Inside, lifelong New Yorker Lebowitz writes about the changes of contemporary urban life: its fads, trends, crazes, morals and fashions.

There are essays on children (“rarely in the position to lend one a truly interesting sum of money”), landlords (“it is the solemn duty of every landlord to maintain an adequate supply of roaches”) and her attitude to work (“3:40pm.

I consider getting out of bed. I reject the notion as being unduly vigorous. I read and smoke a bit more”). By turns ironic, deadpan, sarcastic and wisecracking, this is a thoroughly entertaining read..

Oh William! by Elizabeth Strout In Pulitzer Prize-winning, Bookerlonglisted and best-selling author Elizabeth Strout is back with a follow-up story for her much-loved heroine Lucy Barton. Lucy is a successful writer living in New York, navigating the second half of her life as a recent widow and parent to two adult daughters.

A surprise encounter

Get Your Business Noticed

leads her to reconnect with William, her first husband – a long-time, on-again-off-again friend and confidant. Recalling their college years, the birth of their daughters, the painful dissolution of their marriage, and the lives they built with other people, Strout weaves a portrait of a tender, complex, decades-long partnership. Along the way, the novel captures the joy and sorrow of watching children grow up and start families of their own; of discovering family secrets, late in life, that alter everything we think we know about those closest to us; and the way people live and love, against the odds.

Crossroads by Jonathan Franzen TIt’s 23rd December 1971, and the Hildebrandt family is at a crossroads. Patriarch Russ, the associate pastor of a suburban Chicago church, is poised to break free of a marriage he finds joyless – unless his brilliant but unstable wife Marion breaks free of it first.

Their eldest child, Clem, is coming home from college afire with moral absolutism, having taken action that will shatter his father. Clem’s sister Becky, long the social queen of her high-school class, has veered into the era’s counterculture, while younger brother Perry, fed up with selling pot to support his drug habit, has firmly resolved to be a better person. Each of the Hildebrandts seeks a freedom that each of the others threatens to complicate. In turns comic and harrowing, this novel of interwoven perspectives and sustained suspense is the first volume of a trilogy that will span three generations and trace the inner life of modern culture through to the present day..

The Lincoln Highway

by Amor Towles Since leaving the Kansas youth facility where he’s served time, Emmett has wanted one thing: to give himself and his younger brother Billy a fresh start – and that means heading west. Young Billy has plans of his own: to get to San Francisco, where he believes their long-estranged mother is waiting for them. However, as soon as they’ve loaded Emmett’s bright blue Studebaker with their few belongings, trouble arrives in the form of Duchess and Woolly, two runaways from the facility Emmett just left behind. Duchess and his devoted but slow companion

Woolly soon wreck Billy’s plan to get onto the open road, one wellintentioned blunder at a time. Each young man sees this journey as his chance to pursue his dreams, settle scores and find riches. And soon a simple journey quickly becomes an odyssey filled with obstacles, villains and ruses for our heroes to overcome. An excellent follow-up to Towles’s word-ofmouth smash, A Gentleman In Moscow.

The Audacity by Katherine Ryan The debut book by superstar comedian Katherine Ryan. Now the star of The Duchess, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Taskmaster, this book details Katherine’s journey from a naive exHooters waitress fresh from Canada to comedy megastar, with chapters covering ‘How to Potty Train Your Baby at 10 Months’, ‘How to Cut Off Your Racist Aunties’, ‘How to Marry Your High School Boyfriend’ and ‘How to Co-Parent when you’re a Single Mum’. The Audacity combines Katherine’s unerring ear for the perfect line with the warmth, compassion and hard-won wisdom that makes up her life both on and off stage.

The Chancellor: The Remarkable Odyssey of Angela Merkel

by Kati Marton.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who is stepping down this year after four terms, is famous for her plain but direct style. She is famously private, so it’s no simple task to write her biography.

But Marton has doggedly retraced Merkel’s trail, and the story she tells is a good one. This book “is a bit like Merkel herself: calm, dispassionate, not afraid to bore us. Many readers will find it a balm.

It’s instructive to spend time in Merkel’s competent and humane company.”

A Parent’s Guide To Social Media

With 70% of 12-to-15-year-olds and 20% of 8-to-11-year-olds having at least one social media account, as a parent, it’s imperative to know how to keep your children safe online. While most apps are designed for kids aged 13 and above, it can be hard to monitor how younger children engage with different platforms – particularly when apps like TikTok and Instagram are sdesigned to keep them engaged for longer.

Here, our social media expert sheds some light on the most popular platforms…

Instagram

In a nutshell: “Instagram is a photo and video-sharing app, predominately used by a wide demographic of users. People can follow their friends, influencers and favourite celebrities, and interact with others via comments and private messages.

Users can also put up ‘Stories’ – a quick 15-second photo or video on their profile that disappears after 24 hours.”

Minimum age: 13 Settings to know about: “Users can protect their content (the pictures and videos they share) by creating a private profile. Only those who are accepted as a follower will be able to interact with their content.”

Parent’s tip: “By default, private messages (or DMs as they are known on Instagram) can be sent to private profiles, too. To protect children, turn this option off via the settings.

You can also manage other privacy settings like who can comment on your posts and watch your stories.”

Snapchat

In a nutshell: “Snapchat is a messaging app where users can send quick ‘snaps’ and videos to each another. It’s now commonly used by Gen Z, who typically set up group chats with their friends. Users can have private conversations with other users and send voice messages, too.”

Minimum age: 13 Settings to know about: “Snapchat filters, which alter the appearance of the user on screen, were the first beautifying filters on social media and have been criticised for setting unrealistic beauty standards and encouraging body dysmorphia.

Similar filters are now used across Instagram and TikTok, too. It’s also worth noting that you can’t ‘screenshot’ or screen record any snaps sent to you without the sender knowing you have screenshot or recorded the content. This was made to safeguard what’s being sent.”

Parent’s tip: “Anyone can view a user’s Snapchat content as long as they are following them. For greater security, change the settings by tapping the ‘Who Can…’ option to make it into a private account.”

November 2021

TikTok

Settings to know about: “Profiles can be set to private, so all tweets will only be viewable by those who follow the account. On a private account, no one is able to retweet or quote tweet content that has been shared by a private user.”

In a nutshell: “TikTok is a videosharing app for short-form content, lasting 15 seconds to one minute.

While it first attracted Gen Zs, it has since growing in popularity and now has a wider age demographic.

A user’s ‘feed’ (the stream of videos they are shown) is determined by the content they most engage with.

For example, if you always like videos about make-up, your personal feed will show you tailored make-up content.”

Minimum age: 13 Settings to know about: “Users can save any video to their camera roll or share it via WhatsApp etc. unless the setting has been turned off. However, even if you have opted out, others can still screen record the video – essentially everything can be shared outside of the app. TikTok is also known for setting ‘challenges’, many of which can go viral, but some of these are not suitable for children.”

Parent’s tip: “In general, TikTok is one of the hardest apps to safeguard children against, which is particularly difficult as it generally has a younger demographic than other apps.

Making an account private will control who can leave comments underneath your content and send you direct messages.”

WhatsApp

In a nutshell: “WhatsApp is an instant messaging app that lets users send messages to people in their phone.”

Minimum age: 16 Settings to know about: “You can see whether your child has received and read your message – and what time they were last online – if the tick below the message turns from grey to blue. However, users also have the option to turn off these functions.

Users can also forward private messages and voice notes to other WhatsApp chats.

Parent’s tip: “Profile pictures, statuses and stories can be seen by anyone unless you change the privacy setting to ‘My Contacts’ or ‘Nobody’. It’s worth noting that anyone can message you via the app, even if you don’t have them in your contact book — as long as someone has your number, messages can be exchanged. To change this, go to the

Parent’s tip: “Parents can mute keywords to avoid it appearing on a timeline. This is especially useful if you don’t want your child to see specific words or swear words.”

YouTube

privacy settings in ‘Account’ on the bottom right-hand corner.”

Facebook

In a nutshell: “Facebook is a social networking site that connects people with friends and family. Users can also read the latest news and get updates from publishers, brands and celebrities.”

Minimum age: 13 Settings to know about: “Facebook has far more data and functions than other social media platforms, so it’s important to look into the privacy for each type of content shared. Profile pictures, albums and other personal information can be set to ‘Private’ for only your network to see (choose the ‘Friends’ option under settings).”

Parent’s tip: “Double-check the types of pages that have been ‘liked’ on your child’s page to make sure what they are engaging with is age appropriate.

The privacy settings are vast, so it’s worth exploring every section.

There’s more to it than keeping your profile picture private. Facebook has the most users at approximately 540 million, so it’s best to be extra cautious.”

Twitter

In a nutshell: “Twitter is a textbased social network, known as ‘microblogging’. Users can write 280 characters per tweet, and can add a link, images and videos to the tweet too. Each user has a timeline consisting of tweets written or shared (i.e. ‘retweeted’ or ‘quote tweeted’) from people they follow, as well as curated Twitter lists. Users can also send and receive private and direct messages.”

Minimum age: 13

In a nutshell: “YouTube is long-form video-sharing site and app used by a wide demographic of users.

Most content is either entertaining, aspirational or educational. Users can subscribe to channels to keep updated with their favourite content creators, as well as watching YouTube Stories.”

Minimum age: 13 Settings to know about: “Parents can select ‘preschool’, ‘younger’ or ‘older content’ settings on a special profile for children which automatically filters the content.”

Parent’s tip: “If your child is under 13, they can use YouTube Kids which is specifically tailored to younger children. You can also add parental controls to your child’s profile to approve or disapprove the videos they are watching, turn the search feature off (so that your child can’t search videos) and block specific words.

Tumblr

In a nutshell: “Most popular with older children and teenagers, Tumblr is a microblogging platform for shortform blogs and multimedia. Bloggers can post a variety of content onto their Tumblr feed, including photos, quotes, audio, video, text, chat and links.”

Minimum age: 13 Settings to know about: “Users can also follow other blogs to see new content on their dashboard, and repost blog posts (like Twitter users do with retweets).”

Parent’s tip: “All Tumblr accounts can be set to private. There are some explicit and dark topics explored on Tumblr, so it’s worth selecting ‘Safe Mode’ on your child’s account where sensitive and adult content is filtered.”

Your Beauty Routine For Autumn/Winter If you’ve yet to switch up your routine for autumn/ winter, now is the perfect time. With the nights drawing in and the temperature dropping, these are the seasonal rituals worth incorporating…

Get active

When the temperature drops, I like to up the ante when it comes to my skincare routine. I can be a little lazier with actives during the summer months but come autumn/winter I like to make sure I’m using a good-quality vitamin C every day. As well as helping to repair any sun damage from the summer, it brightens skin and boosts collagen synthesis, restoring that supple, bouncy texture you may feel is lacking. Skinceuticals is a fantastic brand to start with – its range caters to everyone, including those with very oily or sensitive skin. You’ll have no doubt read all about the hydrating powers of hyaluronic acid (HA), so make sure your routine includes it if you want to improve hydration as the weather cools. HA increases the moisture content in your skin by drawing in and binding water to the skin barrier, which can become increasingly weak as the air gets drier. I really rate L’Oreal Paris’s Revitalift Filler 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum if you happen to be in the market.

Try a facial oil

I’m a big fan of adding plant oils to my skincare routine as it gets colder. As well as preventing loss of moisture, many have potent anti-inflammatory benefits and are useful for addressing irritation when my skin is sensitised or stressed. Oils are also a really intuitive way to add a little calm to

November 2021

my routine. I don’t know about you, but as soon as summer’s over and autumn begins, I find myself on a high-speed train hurtling towards Christmas. Making sure I take a little time each evening to relax with a facial oil like Decléor’s Green Mandarin Aromessence Glow Serum does wonders for my sanity.

Book a facial

Our skin goes through so many changes at this time of year that I often find it useful to get a bit of professional help. A real deepdown cleanse and reset courtesy of a hands-on facial always leaves my skin feeling more balanced as it transitions from cold to freezing.

Right now, I’d plump for a Glow Facial or a Clean + Contour service – either one will leave you with tauter, more resilient skin and the kind of cheekbones you haven’t seen in years.

Don’t neglect your body

Come winter, the skin on my body becomes really dry, so if I don’t take pre-emptive steps now, it won’t be a pretty sight come December.

Only an oil will do for me, and I adore Therapie’s Cherish Skin Repair Serum (don’t be fooled by the name, it’s most definitely an oil).

The neroli and ylang ylang scent is addictive, and it makes light work of properly hydrating skin with minimum faff.

It’s especially good for me right now as I have a burgeoning pregnancy belly – but even if you’re not expecting, you’d be hard pushed to find anything quite as good as this. If you do prefer a cream, make it rich and efficient – Jo Malone’s Vitamin E Body Balm is a recent rediscovery.

For something even more luxe, Augustinus Bader’s The Body

Get Your Business Noticed

Cream is, in a word, insane. Richly and deeply hydrating but without being greasy, it helps my skin feel firmer in an instant. If you suffer from itchy, irritated skin, check out CeraVe and La Roche-Posay both offer an excellent range of body creams and are exceptionally good at treating dry, flaky skin..

Give your hair a helping hand

It’s not just my skin that loses its lustre at this time of year, my hair does too. When that happens, I use a gloss-boosting duo to leave my strands feeling as well conditioned as they look. Frédéric Fekkai’s Brilliant Gloss Shampoo and Conditioner are really reliable.

For an extra boost, go one step further and treat your hair to a prewash scalp treatment. As well as removing any product build-up that might be standing in the way of good shine, the foundation of healthy hair will always be a heathy scalp, so it makes sense to look after it. Do yourself a favour and try Christophe Robin’s Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt. The Parisian colourist to the A-list is an authority on how to achieve salon-shiny hair.

Adjust your base

As soon as we move into autumn, the light becomes flatter, causing our skin to look duller. To combat this, I like to switch to a lightreflecting foundation to diffuse my skin with more of a glow.

Givenchy’s Prisme Libre SkinCaring Glow contains brightening lightreflecting particles. The other option is to invest in a good concealer with slightly heavier coverage that you dot only on the areas that need it, leaving the rest of your skin free to breathe. I usually find taking less of a ‘blanket’ approach to my base keeps my skin looking more naturally radiant right now. Anastasia Beverly Hills’ Magic Touch Concealer is on the heavier side, so use it sparingly but, on the plus side, it covers exactly what you need it to. I dot it under my eyes, around my nose, on my chin and then blend it out, leaving the rest of my skin as is.

Winter care of house plants

Think about how water, light and temperature affect your indoor plants during winter normally have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness, and though they will tolerate exceptions without much difficulty, their growing rhythm is disturbed.

With the coming of short days, fog, damp weather and low temperatures, the house-plant gardener faces their greatest challenge. It is comparatively easy to keep plants in good condition during the spring and summer, but winter is the testing time.

The main problems can be grouped under the headings of temperature, light and water, although these are all interdependent. If you can provide high temperatures and additional light the plants will take more water, so though it may be convenient to consider each aspect separately, remember that they will interact with each other.

Consider temperatures first

If you have the best central heating you will have no problems with subjects from the tropics, but plants such as ivies and fatshedera will be peevish at not having a winter dormant period, so they should be removed from the warm rooms and put in some cool position. If some of the rooms are unheated, these will be the place to put them. They should not be exposed to frost. Although they will tolerate this outside, having been kept indoors all year they are far softer than plants that have been grown outside would be, and they will succumb to a few degrees of frost.

Dry atmosphere

With your tropical plants the temperature will be satisfactory, but the atmosphere may be far too

dry. This problem is overcome by putting the plant pot into a larger container, filling the gap between the two containers with peat or moss or some such material, and keeping this constantly moist, quite regardless of the dampness or otherwise of the soil in the pot. It is also possible to stand the pot on pebbles in a flattish container and keep some water among the pebbles. Any plants that are immediately above radiators should be moved to a position where the heat will be less searing.

If you rely on a central fire, whether it is fuelled by coal, gas or electricity, the problem is more difficult. In many homes the fire is not lit during the daytime, but is going well during the evening and

early part of the night. It is then extinguished and the room gets colder and colder.

These are not ideal conditions for plant growth and it says much for the plants’ inherent toughness that they will often survive such unnatural conditions. If you have placed plants on the chimney piece during the summer, move them elsewhere before you start lighting fires. You will still need to provide a moist atmosphere.

Clean the leaves

If you have a coal fire, clean the leaves of the plants weekly, otherwise they will get clogged up with soot. Gas fires have their own particular hazards as many plants are sensitive to fumes. If, for example, you grow Begonia rex, you must resign yourself to the fact that they will probably lose all their leaves during the winter, although they will produce fresh ones in the spring. It will be interesting to see if the fumes of natural gas are less destructive of plant life.

Light is essential to plant growth, but the amount depends to a large degree on the plants’ natural habitats. Those from the tropics

Comparatively dull electric light is sufficient to give the plant the impression that the daylight is continuing, but this must follow on directly from the natural daylight.

Once the plant has gone into the dark it will only be disturbed by light during the normal hours of darkness. The main practical result of this sensitivity to light is that plants from the tropics will make little growth during the winter, regardless of the temperature, if the ratio of light to darkness is disturbed. Plants from temperate climes require short days in winter and have no intention of making growth anyway until the spring.

Water sparingly

If plants are not making growth, they are not using much water so house plants are kept on the dry side during the winter. You must not let the soil become dust-dry, but you must not keep it as moist as you do during the summer. The plants can be kept happy by spraying the leaves regularly with a fine film of water, but the soil itself should be watered very sparingly.

Plants in centrally heated houses will require more water than those in houses with discontinuous heating and they will continue to make growth, although this may be rather yellowish and unhealthy looking. With many subjects this growth is removed at the end of March, but this is not possible with plants such as dieffenbachias and you must tolerate a few unhealthy looking leaves. When you do water the plants, the water should be at least at the same temperature as the room, and preferably slightly warmer. If the water is too cold it may shock the plant to such an extent that the roots will start to rot, and lead to death of the plant.

Gardening

Maple magic Japanese Maples are ideal for small gardens and produce a blaze of colour in Autumn THE Japanese maples are hardy deciduous small trees of fairly easy cultivation. They are mainly varieties of Acer palmatum and are well suited to small gardens. They have graceful forms of growth and delightful foliage – indeed, few trees excel them for the beauty of their leaves, especially when they colour in autumn.

Japanese maples like acid soil. It is best to avoid exposed windy situations that can mar the delicate leaves of the cut-leaf kinds, or very sunny positions in which the foliage may be scorched during hot spells. Half-shade is ideal.

These trees do well in town gardens where the protection of walls and fences aids their growth.

The green-foliaged Acer palmatum is an attractive small tree, but is not seen in gardens today as frequently as the variety A.p. ‘Atropurpureum’, which is more colourful. This is a graceful tree that will reach 10ft (3m) or more in height after many years. The trunk and branches are dark-grey. The palmate leaves are small, opening in spring to a fine crimson, but later they turn to purple and just before leaf fall in autumn they change to crimson.

A 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m)-tall specimen is most spectacular in a tub in a courtyard or on a patio.

Tall and slender

Another palmatum variety is ‘Senkaki’ (‘Sango-kaku’), the coral-bark maple, which makes a taller but slender tree with golden autumn leaves. The young branches are sealing-wax red, which contrasts with the dark trunk for a startling winter effect.

A stronger grower is A.p. ‘Elegans’, which is suitable for the larger garden. The green leaves have a coppery tint in summer and change to red in autumn. They are seven-lobed and deeply cut.

A popular tree which differs in habit from those already described is A.p. ‘Osakazuki’, which is of sturdier growth and reminds one of a refined sycamore.

The leaves are larger and more substantial than most Japanese maples, resisting high winds and hot, dry spells most satisfactorily. In

spring the buds and new leaves are dark-red, but for autumn colour this is hard to beat as it performs with great reliability whatever the weather and makes a most ornamental specimen tree for the smaller garden.

Suitable for rock gardens

The remaining three acers are all quite small, being particularly suitable for rock gardens or associating with heathers and evergreen azaleas. They are also good pot or tub subjects. The first, A.p. ‘Dissectum Viridis’, is a domeshaped small tree growing rather wider than its height, and is quite slow growing – in fact, many years will elapse before a height of 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) is reached.

The leaves are finely divided and when in full leaf the tree has the appearance of an umbrella of green lace; in autumn the green turns to yellow or orange and looks even lovelier than it does during the summer.

A companion to this is the form A.p.

‘Dissectum Atropurpureum’, again with finely cut foliage and the same habit. However, the leaves are purple and turn crimson just before leaf fall. It is even slower growing than the green form.

Another slow grower is A. japonicum ‘Aureum’ (A. shirasawanum ‘Aureum’) of shrubby upright habit. The leaves are quite unlike the dissectum varieties, being rather larger than most Japanese maples, but unfold to a bright lemony-yellow at the beginning of the growing season.

Much of this colour is retained during the summer.

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

By Fiona Dwyer - Journalist, PR Consultant, DIY Your Biz PR Course Creator, Wife & Mum to two teenagers!

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SAVE OUR PLANET?

With the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow this month, it highlights the critical state our planet is in and warns us that we must act to save it. There’s no point saying that it’s governments and world leaders who need to do it all and that it doesn’t matter what we do as individuals. Each and every one of us can do something and all our little things combined can effect great change. Many of us are trying already, which is brilliant, but there’s always something else we can do or haven’t thought of. So, what can we do? I always start with Bob the Builder – random, I know, but bear with me! We watched it endlessly in our house when the children were young. When he moved to Sunflower Valley his slogan became ‘Reduce, re-use, recycle’. Anyone else remember that? Well, that’s actually the core of it, isn’t it? We can reduce the amount of energy we use (and reduce our bills) by not leaving your TV on standby and unplugging your phone/tablet charger (or whatever device you’re charging) when you’re not using it. Save water by having showers instead of baths. Don’t leave the tap running when you’re brushing your teeth and fill a bowl up to wash the pots rather that doing it all under a hot running tap. Plan your meals to reduce food waste – and eat less meat and dairy. Don’t buy as many clothes – recycle and upcycle. How about walking, cycling or using public transport to reduce carbon emissions? Litter picking so that our rubbish doesn’t end up in our rivers and waterways, eventually making its way to our oceans. There are lots of great ideas out there – we just all need to put them into practice.

THE CHRISTMAS DEBATE

So, when is it acceptable to put your Christmas tree and decorations up? It’s a timehonoured debate we have every year and it never fails to divide (not in a bad way though, I hope!) We usually wait until December to get our tree, although if Advent starts at the very end of November I’d consider buying it a few days earlier – although I’m rarely that organised (!), but Advent is the start of the Christmas season for me. I know some people who start in October and others in November. I mean my daughter started playing Christmas carols in our kitchen last month (although Christmas with Michael Buble is reserved for December!) The thing is, whenever you do it, it doesn’t really matter! Just do whatever makes you happiest! We’ve all experienced our fair share of difficulties over the last couple of years, and some have had it a lot worse than others, so if we can’t start having some extra light and joy a little earlier for Christmas, when can we?

SPECIAL DAYS IN NOVEMBER

I’ve been compiling my monthly list of awareness day (they’re great for businesses to use for PR content and social media) – and thought I’d share a few of the dates with you! So, if you see any chaps sporting a new moustache this month, remember it’s Movember, so they’ll be raising funds and awareness for men’s health. It’s also the month we pause to remember all those who have died in world wars and other conflicts. A fairly new date in the calendar is Social Media Kindness Day (9th Nov), in memory of the late TV presenter Caroline Flack to remind people of the importance of treating others with kindness and respect online (#bekind). There’s also Bonfire Night (5th), Celebrate Your Unique Talent Day (24th), Cake Day (26th), Black Friday (26th) followed by Buy Nothing Day (27th) – presumably because you’re all bought out!

Whatever you do and whatever you choose to remember or celebrate this month, take care and stay safe.
