Editor’s note

Welcome to the May edition of the magazine which is also our centenary edition - it only seems like yesterday that we were launching the magazines - where did that time go! I would like to say a big thank you to all of the DaltonSpire team, the contributers and the advertisers that all work so hard on the content, sales, production and distribution of the magazine.

We have an interesting and varied range of topics in this edition for your enjoyment ranging from Travel Ideas from Marion Owen, in the Hull City column we look at the season of change and what is in store for next season. We also have our usual round up of all the New Books to read this month. Roy Woodcock takes a look at the Toyota Aygo-X in his Motoring Column.

We have our regular column from Rob Walls & Janette Wilkinson who take a look at architectural salvage and garden antiques with us. The Food & Drink section has a fantastic Chicken recipe for you to try at home - that is an ideal BBQ option for the Queens Jubilee weekend! (Thank you Erkan at the Olive Tree on Lincoln Way, Beverley for the recipe). We also have our regular Wine Column with Roy Woodcock. We have lots of What’s On information to keep you entertained with some great Gigs happening in the area (I can personally recommend the Abba gig in Beverley Minster.

The East Riding Archives

Beverley’s Home Front Heroes The Women’s Royal Voluntary Service turns 84 this month. It was founded on 16th May 1938 and was then known as the Women’s Voluntary Service for Civil Defence, or ‘WVS’.

During the Second World War, they played a vital role on the Home Front, providing assistance in the evacuation of children from the cities; establishing mobile canteens to feed victims of air raids; collecting clothing for the needy; driving ambulances, and many other important jobs.

Beverley’s branch of the WVS began as a group of voluntary ‘Hospital Helps’ at the Base Hospital (Beverley Westwood) on 16th September 1940. Around 23 girls volunteered to assist with hospital work each evening during the Second World War. In the East Riding Archives at the Treasure House, you’ll find a record of these home front heroes in the form of a scrapbook (DDX294/1) that was compiled by Miss Madge Whiteing, a Hospital Helper.

As a reminder of her time as a volunteer, the scrapbook provides a fascinating collection of cuttings, photographs, notes, and colourful illustrations that depict the work, routine, and enjoyment of life as a WVS Hospital Help.

May 2022

The uniform worn by the Hospital Helps is shown in one of the sketches. They wore a jade green overall with a cherry coloured armlet and had a green rubber

apron for any dirty work. The girls helped the nurses and orderlies in the evenings with the suppers, washing up, the black-out or mending linen.

Let’s Get Moving at East Riding Leisure Beverley

Events coming to Beverley Saturday Market

East Riding Council’s health and wellbeing team are working in partnership with East Riding Leisure Beverley to launch a new multi activity session, ‘Lets’ Get Moving’, suited to those people who would like to take part in some fun and friendly activity.

East Riding Council’s local growth team are planning to deliver two days of activities in the centre of Beverley towards the end of May.

The sessions will start on Thursday, 12 May at East Riding Leisure Beverley, from 2pm-3pm, and will run for 10 weeks. Participants will be given the option of trying a range of different activities such as Boccia (a form of bowls), New Age Kurling, ping pong, seated volleyball, short tennis, badminton and much more.

Councillor Mike Medini, portfolio holder for cultural and leisure assets, said: “There is strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life.

People who are regularly active have a lower risk of developing many long term conditions such

as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and some cancers.”

The sessions at East Riding Leisure Beverley will be free of charge on the launch date and £2.80 thereafter. There is no need to book - just wear appropriate clothing and footwear and bring a drink.

The sessions are aimed at all ability levels, and are designed to offer a range of activities in a fun environment.

To find out more, please call East Riding Leisure Beverley on 01482 393980 or email laura.hutchinson@ eastriding.gov.uk

The events will be free to attend, and attendees will not be required to prebook. The two days of activities will be aimed at families and include a range of family entertainment provided by external vendors, internal council teams and local community groups.

The two days of events will include a variety of activities including craft and circus workshops, as well as free face painting, music and outdoor seating.

The events will be held on Monday 30 May and Tuesday 31 May at the pedestrianised area of Beverley Saturday Market from 10am until 4pm on both days.

The local growth team at the council are leading on the planning and delivery of the events with the support of internal teams and external community groups. There will be activities and entertainment delivered by St Mary’s Church, Beverley Minster, Beverley Library & Treasure House and Beverley FM. Fantastic Faces and Aba Daba Circus will also be attending.

May 2022

Get Your Business Noticed

The local growth team are part of an internal working group who are meeting regularly to identify potential uses for the pedestrianised area in Saturday Market. The current pedestrianised area is a pilot using DfT Emergency Active Travel funding to trial the scheme. The intention of this project is to trial the area as a community event space to support the development of the final plan.

Cllr Jane Evison, portfolio holder for economic development and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “These are further events delivered by the councils local growth team to encourage more visitors into the area and support local businesses. Plans are to make use of the fantastic area at Saturday Market in Beverley by putting on several days of entertainment during the Summer half-term.

“Events like this rely on good attendances so I would encourage visitors and residents to get involved during the early part of week – it would be wonderful to see lots of smiles on faces!”

Is now a good time to buy a house?

When’s the best time to buy a property?

Our expert puts you in the picture...

If you’re thinking about buying a house, it’s worth bearing in mind that certain times of the year are better for this than others.

A market brimming with houses for sale is the best time for purchasing, whereas if there’s little available, you could end up paying over the asking price in a bid to beat other buyers.

Buying property is a huge investment and not a decision to take lightly. With the stamp duty holiday now over, and life getting back to some sort of normality, it’ll be interesting to see what happens to the property market going forward.

What time of year is best?

Traditionally, spring and early autumn are popular times to buy.

‘There is typically more housing stock available in spring and sales often go through quicker as people are keen to complete before the summer,’ says Heather Mapplebeck, a financial planning expert and estate agent. ‘In contrast, the number of homes available later in the year tend to drop as homeowners opt to stay put for the winter,’ she says.

And what about

May 2022

For selling a house?

Interestingly, although spring and early autumn are the best time to buy, winter and summer tend to be the best times to sell a house.

‘With fewer properties available in summer and winter, your house will have less competition and stand out more,’ explains Heather.

‘March often sees an increase in the number of homes up for sale.

So, if you are looking to buy a house then it is likely you will have far more to choose from as there are lots of people looking to move home in the spring,’ says Heather.

When’s the best time to buy for first-time buyers?

‘The latest base interest rate hike from the Bank of England will ultimately lead to higher mortgage costs over the next year.’

‘As property is seen to be inflationproof, that will likely drive prices even higher, which will have a double whammy impact on people hoping to buy,’ she says.

If you’re in a position to do so, Heather advises jumping on the property ladder sooner rather than later, in order to benefit from current low interest rates.

‘To unblock these advantageous rates, buyers will need around a 20% deposit.’ If you don’t have

Get Your Business Noticed

cash savings to hand, check out the government’s shared ownership and Help to Buy: Equity Loan schemes.

Is 2022 a good year to buy?

3 ways to SPEED UP THE PROCESS

There is a general consensus that 2022 will be the year when buyers will get a fair price. Sales being agreed have increased, but the number of sales achieving over the asking price has reduced.

1 ASSESS YOUR POSITION ‘Being a cash buyer and/or with no chain will increase your appeal as a buyer, as the sale can move quickly, sometimes in just 30 days.’

‘Demand remains strong and there is currently a shortage of properties to meet demand. So prices are holding steady and I believe they will continue to do so in 2022,’ says Heather. Meaning 2022 is looking a promising time to make a smart home changeover.

2 CHECK OUT NEW HOMES Look at new developments where the homes are all finished, but not yet all sold. ‘Once houses are built, developers want to capitalise on their investment to fund their next project. If a few houses remain unsold they may be prepared to take an offer,’ she says.

3 MAKE AN OFFER ‘If someone needs to sell quickly for financial reasons – relocation or perhaps a separation – they may be more inclined to take an offer, says Heather.

How to go green with Your Finances

Money expert Rob Moran shares his advice on how your cash can contribute to a better planet...

Climate change, pollution and the environment are among our biggest life concerns and it’s the strongest we’ve felt since 1989, according to research.

While our concerns have led us to consuming less meat, seeking out eco-friendly alternatives and buying electric cars, the real power to make an impact lies with your money.

Our finance expert Rob Moran explains how what you do with your cash can help save the planet.

Bank for good

When you put your money into a bank, it is used to invest in various companies and projects, but they might not necessarily be ones you would be happy about. Avoid ‘greenwashing’ from banks. Where they use green buzzwords to

attract new customers, without changing their practices.

Rather than planting a tree, running a charity initiative, or offering some carbon credits for every account opened, by far the most important factor is the investment and lending focus of the bank.

A report from Greenpeace and WWF UK found that banks and asset managers were responsible for financing the output of 805 million tonnes of CO2 in 2019. If this upsets you, then make a stand and switch to a green bank. There are several websites out there that rank the most ethical bank accounts.The leading and most thorough analysis is done by Ethical Consumer, but other comparison sites will start to include these factors soon.

ALL MATERIAL AND WOR S GUARANT K E FOR THRE ED E Y EARs

Triodos Bank Your money could be used to invest in projects such as social housing, eco-tourism and environmental technology (triodos.co.uk).

Charity Bank Supports social enterprises and charities (charitybank.org).

Ecology Building Society Invest with this building society and you’ll be supporting sustainable projects (ecology. co.uk).

Co-operative Bank Helps projects such as tackling youth homelessness (co-operativebank.co.uk).

Green Bonds

The government recently launched Green Bonds, which are available from National Savings & Investments (nsandi.com/greensaving).

Your savings can support recycling projects, renewable energy, or flood defences and early warning systems, to name a few.

Get Your Business Noticed

If you’re buying a new energyefficient home or have made ecofriendly changes, you could qualify for a green mortgage with lower rates and cashback. Speak to an adviser to find the best deals. You’ll need an EPC rating of A or B in order to qualify.

Sustainable investing

You could choose an ethical fund that invests in climate change incentives, clean water projects or animal rights, for example – but that also aims to deliver strong returns.

Ethical pensions

Switching to a sustainable pension is a hugely powerful way to cut your carbon footprint. It’s reckoned that around £3 trillion of pension money has contributed to deforestation or funded fossil fuel projects. Let your pension fund know if you’re not happy.

See makemymoneymatter.co. uk for template letters, and check how green your pension is at isitgreen.org.

Know your STUFF

Ethical banks are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Up to £85,000 of your savings are protected should the bank go bust (fscs.org.uk/checkyourmoney-is-protected).

Apply for a £5,000 grant using the Boiler Upgrade Scheme if you replace a gas boiler with a lowcarbon heat pump. The scheme will be available via a supplier, but it won’t cover all the cost, which can be in excess of £10,000.

Literature

Books for May

From highly anticipated debuts to thrillers to curl up with, our selection has something for everyone......

People Person

by Candice Carty-Williams Dimple Pennington is 30, and her life isn’t really going anywhere. An aspiring lifestyle influencer with a terrible and wayward boyfriend, Dimple’s life has shrunk to the size of a phone screen. Despite a small but loyal following, she’s never felt more alone – until a dramatic event brings her half siblings Nikisha, Danny, Lizzie and Prynce crashing back into her life.

When they’re forced to reconnect with the absent father they never really knew, things get even more complicated.

Booth by Karen Joy Fowler An epic novel about the infamous, ill-fated Booth family. Junius Brutus Booth is the patriarch, a celebrated Shakespearean actor who fled bigamy charges in England – both a talent and a man of terrifying instability. As his ten children grow up on a remote farmstead in 1830s rural Baltimore, America draws ever closer to the boiling point of secession and civil war. The six Booth siblings who survive to adulthood each have their own dreams they must fight to realise, but it is Johnny who makes the terrible decision that will change the course of history: the assassination of US president Abraham Lincoln.

Blending history with family saga, Booth is a riveting epic that focuses on the things that bind – and break – a family and the impact of slavery on both the Booths and their slaves, the Halls.

The Flames by Sophie Haydock A flame has the power to mesmerise, but it can also destroy everything in its path. Sophie Haydock’s new book focuses on four of controversial artist Egon Schiele’s female muses. These

May 2022

women’s bodies were shown in intimate detail in his artwork, but who were they?

Haydock delves into the lives of Adele, his passionate and fierce admirer; Gertrude, his spirited and possessive sister; Vally, his independent and proud model; and Edith, Adele’s quiet and conventional sister… Or was she? The Flames reimagines the intertwining lives of these four women who long to be known in elegant, bohemian 1900s Vienna, where everything seems possible.

The Odyssey by Lara Williams Meet Ingrid. She works on a huge luxury cruise liner, where she spends her days reorganising the merchandise and waiting for long-term guests to die in the changing rooms. On her days off, she disembarks from the ship and gets black-out drunk on whatever the local alcohol is. It’s not a bad life – and it distracts her from thinking about the other life she left behind five years ago. Then one day she is selected for the employee mentorship scheme, an initiative run by the ship’s mysterious captain and self-anointed lifestyle guru, Keith, who pushes Ingrid further than she thought possible. But sooner or later, she will have to ask herself: how far is too far? Mischievous and thought-provoking, The Odyssey takes Ingrid on a voyage that will eventually lead her home – the last place she wants to be.

The Exhibitionist

by Charlotte Mendelson The Hanrahan family are gathering for a momentous weekend. Famous artist and notorious egoist Ray Hanrahan is preparing for a new exhibition – the first in many decades – and he’s sure it will burnish his reputation for good.

His three children will be there: beautiful Leah, always her father’s biggest champion; sensitive Patrick, who has finally decided to strike out on his own; and insecure Jess, the youngest, who has her own momentous decision to make. But what of Lucia, Ray’s steadfast and

Get Your Business Noticed

selfless wife? She is an artist too, but has always put her roles as wife and mother first.

What will happen if she decides to change?

For Lucia is hiding secrets of her own, and as the weekend unfolds and the exhibition approaches, she must finally make a choice. This Women’s Prize for Fiction nominee is a thrilling exploration of art, sacrifice, toxic family politics and personal freedom.

The Candy House

by Jennifer Egan It’s 2010. Brilliant, successful tech entrepreneur Bix Bouton is desperate for a new idea. He’s 40, with four kids, and restless, when he stumbles into a conversation with mostly Columbia professors, one of whom is experimenting with downloading or ‘externalising’ memory. Within a decade, Bix’s new technology allows you access to every memory you’ve ever had, and to share every memory in exchange for access to the memories of others – and it has seduced millions. But not everyone.

In linked narratives, Egan spins out the consequences of his Own Your Unconscious tech through the lives of multiple characters whose paths intersect over several decades. Intellectually dazzling and extraordinarily moving, The Candy House is a bold, brilliant imagining of a world that might only be moments away.

The Fake Up by Justin Myers We loved columnist Justin Myers’s funny yet hard-hitting The Last Romeo and The Magnificent Sons, so we’re excited about his latest book, which focuses on two exes and one big secret.

Dylan and Flo are in love.

The only trouble is, they broke up months ago and everyone was delighted for them. At first, it’s exciting sneaking around, hiding

from disapproving friends, climbing through bedroom windows to avoid family, and concocting hilarious disguises. It’s like Romeo and Juliet – but with more sex and less poison. Soon, though it becomes harder to separate truth from lies, Dylan and Flo are in way over their heads, and the games have only just begun.

One Day I Shall Astonish The World by Nina Stibbe Susan and Norma have been best friends for years, thrown together at first by force of circumstance (a job at The Pin Cushion, a haberdashery shop in 1990s Leicestershire) and then by force of character (neither being particularly inclined to make friends with anyone else). Now, 30 years later, faced with a husband seeking immortality and Norma out of reach on a wave of professional glory, Susan begins to wonder whether she has made the right choices about life, love, work and, most importantly, friendship. Nina Stibbe’s new novel is the story of the wonderful and sometimes surprising path of friendship: from its conspiratorial beginnings, along its irritating wrong turns, to its final gratifying destination.

Maps of Our Spectacular Bodies

by Maddie Mortimer When a sudden diagnosis upends Lia’s world, the boundaries between her past and present begin to collapse. As the voice prowling in Lia takes hold of her story, and the landscape around becomes indistinguishable from the one within, Lia and her family are faced with some of the hardest questions of all: how can we move on from the events that have shaped us, when our bodies harbour everything? And what does it mean to die with grace, when you’re simply not ready to let go? This is a story of comingof-age at the end of a life. Heartbreaking yet darkly funny, Maddie Mortimer’s debut is a journey through one woman’s body: a wild celebration of desire, forgiveness and the darkness within us all.

l Victorian tables, chairs, benches, bird baths and sun dials are very expensive and do not come on the market very often. There are some excellent reproductions available.

Do you call it ‘Garden Antiques’? Or is it architectural salvage, industrial ware, or upcycling?

Whatever you decide, garden antiques are a big area to look at.

The obvious ones include statues, gate posts and fountains. If items are made from stone, they will be expensive and fetch a premium at auction. However, reconstituted stone, concrete or earthenware are more affordable.

Gnomes and chimney pots are quite common items to find in gardens, and they do make a good feature. A pair of chimney pots, preferably different heights, look good but an individual pot placed with plants growing from them and around them also make a statement. The use of reclaimed stone and blocks, and the use of coping stones makes for good edging.

l Railway sleepers and barrels are standard in many gardens, and with natural aging will blend in well.

I really dislike gardening! However, like many people, I did make an effort to sort out the garden during the beginning of lockdown in April 2020. I decided that I wanted my garden to have that country cottage feel to it. I dug, weeded, and then planted all sorts of plants of various shapes, sizes and colours. To add interest, I have added various finds. I have two chimney pots, both planted up with overflowing plants. I have a broken pot that looks as though it is partially buried with greenery cascading from it. A couple of old stone slabs add interest as well as beginning useful as steppingstones. Once car boots started again, I managed to purchase an old metal dustbin and lid that now acts as a store for bird food. I have also acquired a vintage watering can that I use as a mini water butt.

I did have a metal garden table and chairs that I left out to rust and wear. They now add that rustic feel as well as being somewhere to sit.

The Beautiful South’s co-founder Dave Hemingway’s new band SUNBIRDS to play: HULL – New Adelphi Club on Saturday 18th June To coincide with their Summer 2022 shows, Sunbirds have just released their 2nd single ‘GENE KELLY’. The song paints a picture of a rainy, wintery night in a working class town, but our hero doesn’t care, he’s just positively enjoying the scene.

drained pint glass.

“Now we’re Sunbirds we’re free to dig a little deeper into ourselves”, says Phil “having said that, there’s no exact science here, we’re just enjoying ourselves and expressing whatever we want”.

“Cool To Be Kind is a must-have album which helps us forget the pandemic and lust after the days where this amazing new band can deliver their songs live” - UK Music Reviews

The man who once told us he loved us from the bottom of his pencil case, founder Beautiful South member Dave Hemingway returns with his new band SUNBIRDS playing Doncaster, Hull and York this June.

‘Cool To Be Kind’ was released in November 2020, on the independent label Nectar Records signalling the arrival of Sunbirds with new songs and a new sound.

Although born and bred in England, the band’s sound predominantly features the instrumentation of

traditional American roots music combined with the occasional outburst of guitar heavy melody more associated with Seattle in the late 80’s/early 90’s.

However, you can only sing about what you know.

“Although a lot of the songs have an Americana feel” says Dave “they’re still about life in England. You’re going to feel a bit daft singing about pick-up trucks and low down honky-tonks when you live in Yorkshire.”

Food & Drink

Erkans’ Thai Chicken Grill Erkan Sahindal - business owner at the Olive Tree on Lincoln Way, Beverley - and accomplished chef shares this Thai technique of grilling chicken really gently. “Gai yang is grilled chicken and nam jim jaew is a wildly popular dipping sauce – sweet, sour and a little spicy (adjust to your taste). The easy-tomake roasted rice powder is essential to the sauce, adding a toasty flavour and crunchy texture.”

Serves 4 Hands-on time 15 minutes, plus overnight marinating and resting Grill time 1½ hours Specialist kit Spice grinder or

pestle and mortar; kitchen scissors; barbecue

Ingredients • 2–2.5kg whole free-range chicken • Steamed rice and lime wedges to serve For the marinade • 3 tbsp chopped coriander, roots and stalks • 1 garlic bulb, cloves peeled • 2 tbsp light brown sugar • 30g fresh turmeric, grated • 2 tsp white peppercorns • 3 tbsp fish sauce • 1 tsp dark soy sauce For the nam jim jaew • 1 tbsp glutinous (sticky) rice • 2 small Thai shallots (or 1 regular shallot), thinly sliced • 1 spring onion, green part only, thinly sliced • 2 tbsp fish sauce • 1-2 tbsp light brown sugar • 3-4 tbsp lime juice • 1 tbsp chilli flakes (or to taste)

Method

1 To make the marinade, pound the coriander roots and stalks, garlic, sugar, turmeric and peppercorns to a paste in a pestle and mortar, then mix in the fish sauce and soy sauce.

2 Spatchcock the chicken by cutting either side of the backbone with kitchen scissors.

Remove the bone, turn the bird over, then open it out and press down firmly with the heel of your hand to flatten). Rub the marinade all over the chicken, then cover and marinate in the fridge overnight.

3 Toast the glutinous rice in a pan or wok over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously to stop it burning.

It should have an even golden colour. Let the rice cool, then grind to a coarse powder in a spice grinder/pestle and mortar.

You want to retain some of the crunchy texture, so take care not to grind it too finely.

4 When you’re ready to cook, prepare the barbecue for indirect cooking with the coals banked to one side. When the coals are ready, almost close the vents, leaving just a small

May 2022

gap at the top and the bottom.

Wipe any large clumps of marinade off the chicken and cook the bird away from the coals, breast side up, with the legs facing towards the hotter side, for 1½ hours. You may need to move the chicken during cooking so it barbecues evenly.

5 To make the nam jim jaew, combine all the ingredients with the toasted rice powder in a bowl.

Let the chicken rest somewhere warm for 15 minutes before serving it with the dipping sauce, steamed rice and lime wedges.

No BBQ: Heat the oven to 180°C fan/gas 6. Put the marinated chicken in a large roasting dish or lipped baking tray and cook, skin-side up, for 50 minutes or until the juices run clear, or a probe thermometer pushed into the thickest part of the thigh reads 70-72°C. Complete the recipe.

Ingredient Tip: I always use fresh turmeric but you can swap 2 tsp dried turmeric for 30g fresh.

Top Tip: Store leftover nam jim jaew in a jar in the fridge for several days. Use as a dressing for salads or meat.

Roy Woodcock’s

World of Wines Summer promises warm days and the hope of long dinners spent outside with friends. It also marks the change from drinking the big, full-bodied reds of winter to seeking out refreshing, zesty and light styles of red wine.

Lighter-bodied reds are the perfect summer wine: They can be equally as complex and interesting as their fuller-bodied counterparts; they pair wonderfully with barbecues, fish dishes, vegetables and fresher, summer recipes; and there is a huge range of styles to suit most palates (and pockets).

The body of a wine refers to its “mouth feel”, with light-bodied wines being less viscous that fullbodied wines - viscosity describes the thickness or texture of a liquid, with water being less viscous than syrup, for example.

Tannins is the other term that comes up a lot. Tannins are naturally-occurring compounds called polyphenols. These are found in grape skins and give wines a noticeable dryness.

Light red wines generally have a lower alcohol content of less than 12.5 per cent. They also have less tannins than medium or fullbodied wines. Pinot Noir, Grenache, and Barbera are a few examples; not forgetting juicy, well-priced Beaujolais.

The most famous region for Pinot Noir, Burgundy, produces stunning, lighter-bodied red wines. Pinot Noir grapes are notoriously difficult to handle: they’re susceptible to frost and disease, and need a long, warm summer to avoid unripe, green flavours in the wine. Some of the best examples are picked by hand, pressed in whole bunches, and can be left to age in bottle for decades.

The key region for red Burgundy is the Côte de Nuits, which includes some of the most celebrated Grands Crus appellations such as Chambertin, Clos de Tart, Clos de Vougeot, Grands Échezeaux and brilliant Premier Crus.

Beaujolais is made from the Gamay grape, which makes wellstructured, perfumed wines, full of ripe black fruit. These wines are often drunk young (once upon a time we always made a fuss about the annual release of Beaujolais Nouveau, but then found it to be underwhelming) but the thing to remember is that Beaujolais can also age for five to 10 years and that certainly makes for a better drinking experience.

One wine expert, Karen MacNeil, has described Beaujolais as “the only white wine that happens to be red” Similarly, Beaujolais is often treated like a white wine and served slightly chilled to a lower temperature, the lighter the style] In Beaujolais itself, it’s traditional to soak the bottles in buckets of ice water and bring them out to the centre of villages for picnics and games of boules.

Best Buys for May

* Talking of summer, the England men’s cricket team has been a bit flat in 2022, but with Chapel Down now the official sparkling wine sponsor of the team, it is hoped that it will give some fizz to the bowling and batting.

Historically Champagne has been the sparkling sponsor but Chapel Down is the first English wine to sponsor cricket. Chapel Down’s sparkling wine will be offered to winning teams on the podium at all men’s International, women’s International and domestic finals.

The partnership is the latest in a growing number of sporting and artistic associations that the sparkling wine producer has embarked. It is already the official sparkling wine of the Oxford & Cambridge Boat Race and Ascot Racecourse * One sign that life has continued to return to normality is the relaunching of wine events at the House of Townend’s Cellar Door outlet on Melton Business Park.

Put on hold for the past two years because of the pandemic, they return this month with a vengeance - three wine-tasting dinners, on May 4, 19 and 25 and a Champagne dinner in September.

There are also two tasting events, including one on Filey Bay whisky in June, and others in July, September and October. More details from www.housewoftownend.com/ events-tastings * Pubs and bars across the UK are getting involved in a charity campaign, as part of celebrations to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this month. The industry-wide collaboration, led by The Good Beer Co, Adnams and Big Drop, is in support of “The Big Jubilee Lunch” and “Thank You Day” during the Jubilee Weekend.

Opening hours have been extended for the 2-5 June and publicans and general managers are being encouraged to host a special Big Jubilee Lunch, or a “Thank You Day” party and serve limited-edition “Thank You” beers.

A range of limited-edition ales has been brewed by a host of leading brewers and beer brands – all to a recipe devised by Adnams production director Fergus Fitzgerald with 100 per cent of profits from “Thank Brew” sales to be donated to three good causes: The Together coalition; the organisers of “Thank You Day” Eden Project communities and the organisers of The Big Lunch Reset Communities and Refugees: Supporting Ukrainian refugees arriving in the UK to live with families in communities across Britain.

Until next month - take care.

Kooliburra Clare Valley Riesling

Andre Colonge Beaujolais Villages 2020

Where: Aldi When: Now Why: Take a chance on this and you won’t be disappointed. An exceptionally dry Riesling produced in one of Australia’s oldest wine regions, where the climate extracts the complex flavours of the grape. Green apple, lime and grapefruit flavours give way to subtle tangerine notes and a refreshing minerality.

Enjoy with seafood, salads or mild Thai dishes.

Where: Roberts & Speight, Beverley When: Now, while stocks last Why: This is a medium-bodied wine but it’s the Gamay grape in all its fruity glory. Bursting with crunchy red fruit and sweet spice, backed up by a touch of pear drop and strawberry backed up by lovely silky tannins.

Price: £7.49

Lautarul Pinot Noir Price: £9.99

Where: The Cellar Door, Melton When: Now. Why: A classic everyday drinking Pinot Noir from Romania, with atypical soft red fruits, mature nose and all enveloping, sensual lush structure. 12.5% alcohol by volume.

May 2022

Compared to lighter-bodied reds, medium-bodied ones tend to have an alcohol content of between 12.5 and 13.5 per cent and more tannins than a light-bodied red wine but less than a full-bodied red wine.

Examples include Merlot, Shiraz, Tempranillo, and Nebbiolo.

Full reds (our winter favourites) are any red wine with more than 13.5 per cent alcohol. Full-bodied wines have more complex flavours and have a richer mouth feel. Examples include Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Syrah.

Look out for signs of stress Are they more irritable than usual?

If they play Fortnite, have they suddenly lost interest in it or are they playing way more than they should be? Have they gone off their food, are they complaining of physical symptoms, like headaches and stomach aches more regularly?

Talk about anxiety Remind your child that it’s perfectly normal to feel worried or stressed about their exams. Talk openly about how you cope with your own stressful situations, so your child has a positive role model for managing their emotions and time.

Create routines Focus on the importance of the basics – food, exercise, friends and downtime. Help them create a plan to prepare for their exams. When are those exams? How do we create a sustainable revision timetable?

Sometimes young people get generic advice – ‘do some revision’.

Does that mean six hours or does it actually mean 30 minutes, a five-minute break, then we go out for a walk? Helping them plan and create that structure for those small wins is really key.

Don’t make them feel worse A lot of motivation around exams is fear-based – warnings that if you don’t do well, you won’t be able to go to university. That sort of narrative is really stressful for children and should be avoided. Be reassuring, positive, and help put things into perspective. Remind them that there is more to life than their grades, and their results don’t define who they are.

Be available to listen and flexible to their needs Sometimes your child may not want to talk so make yourself available but don’t pressure them to talk. Listen to their needs.

Unwinding after exams Help them to relax so they don’t dwell on things they could have done better by watching a film or enjoying a favourite meal together.

Motoring

Aygo gets the X factor!

Toyota has added the X factor to their small city car and the end result makes the Aygo X both a fun and practical car. Roy Woodcock reports . . .

Just when you thought the trend, particularly for smaller, what we call city cars, was all-electric, along comes something new that bucks the trend.

The Toyota Aygo X (pronounced Aygo Cross) is a compact five-door, four seater and a replacement for the even smaller Aygo, first introduced in 2005. It’s certainly eye-catching, particularly in the range of spicy colours you can choose - Cardamom Green, Chilli Red, Ginger Beige and Juniper Blue.

But what’s perhaps more eyecatching, particularly when you’re weighing up the choices available to you right now, is the price - certainly against those electricpowered cars.

Prices start from £14,805 on the road, which is way below the cost of a battery-powered Vauxhall Corsa or Fiat 500.

Its chunky, crossover looks, also buy into current trends without having to buy into the Idea of this being some sort of off-roading capable SUV like the Fiat Panda Cross; capabilities which, let’s face it, you’re never really going to put to the test, even though you’ve paid more to get them.

May 2022

What you do get, though, is an increased ride height - the car’s ground clearance has been increased by 11mm, giving the driver more presence and assurance on the road, and the seating position has been raised by 55mm, giving the driver a better view of other road users, particularly cyclists and pedestrians.

There are generously-equipped trim levels to choose from called Pure, Edge, Exclusive and Limited Edition and all models are powered

by Toyota’s highly-acclaimed and award-winning one-litre, threecylinder petrol engine delivering 71bhp and 93Nm of torque. The Aygo X can be matched to a fivespeed manual transmission or CVT automatic gearbox.

It has a top speed of 98mph (94mph on the CVT model), can complete the 0 - 62mph dash in 14.9 seconds and when it comes to running costs, the vehicle can deliver a combined 56.5-58.8mpg with carbon emissions of 109-110g/km on manual models and 56.5mpg with CO2 emissions of 113-114g/km on CVT versions.

There’s no denying the Aygo X is a looker and options include a bi-tone black paint job and customers can also specify a pagoda-style opentop canvas roof costing £895.

It features flared wheel arches, a shorter front overhang compared to the old Aygo, plus larger 17 or 18-inch wheels. Entry-level cars have halogen projector headlights while the top models gain LED lights

Get Your Business Noticed

and daytime running lights. There are black wheel arch mouldings, pop-out rear windows and rear privacy glass.

Moving inside, the cabin is fresh, bright and cheery with a choice of fabric, synthetic leather or part leather upholstery. There is a three-spoke leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear level, plus climate control with pollen filters.

An ‘X’ symbol is discreetly stitched into the seat upholstery on higher trim levels, along with the ‘Aygo X’ model name subtly featured in the LED headlamps.

On-board creature comforts are generous with Toyota’s latest multimedia system offering cloud-based navigation – that means the car is always connected on the move with fully automatic over-the-air software updates.

Wireless smartphone connectivity is offered via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with a charging tray on Exclusive and Limited Edition models. Also, dependant on the trim, there is a four-speaker audio with DAB or five-speaker JBL premium sound system.

The touchscreen ranges from seven, eight or nine-inches in size, but all versions have Bluetooth and USB connection, along with audio

controls on the steering wheel.

Range-topping models gain Toyota Smart Connect. This not only adds the larger touchscreen, but introduces the MyT smartphone app that allows you to track fuel levels, trip data, driving analytics and it even works as a vehicle tracker.

Some rivals may beat the Aygo X for sheer pace, but this car is very capable on motorways and nicely balanced through winding country lanes.The three-pot engine does get a little more vocal under heavy acceleration but generally the Aygo X is nicely refined. The suspension has been specifically tweaked for this car and it does a worthy job of settling the vehicle on uneven surfaces.

Bigger all round than the car it replaces, there is more shoulder space up front and the two designated rear seats are ideal for children or grown-ups if the seats are not pushed back too far. The boot is larger and can swallow 60 litres more kit compared to the outgoing Aygo. It has a capacity of 231 litres, increasing to 829 litres with the 50:50 split-folding rear seats dropped down. If the model is fitted with the JBL sound system, it reduces the boot limit by up to 50 litres.

Motoring Another factor that really impresses with the Aygo X is all the safety equipment and driver assistance aids that are standard across the entire range. These include Toyota’s Safety Sense package featuring a pre-collision system with vehicle detection that now functions at higher speeds.

Additional safety specifications include two Isofix child seat fixtures, child safety door locks, anti-lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, vehicle stability control, hill-start assist, a tyre pressure warning system, seatbelt reminders, speed limiter, eCall and six airbags.

The day and night pedestrian detection, daytime cyclist detection, collision mitigation support functions, intelligent adaptive cruise control, lane trace assist and emergency steering assist all make their Aygo debut.

All in all, the new Aygo X is a fabulous compact crossover that is easy on the eye and pocket, packed with tech and great fun to drive.

Dutch bulbfields & the MARIONOWEN 10 yearly Floriade…

TRAVEL The latter is in full swing but the bulb fields

you need to consider for 2023. What a wonderful sight of colour, Keukenhof nestled in the Dutch bulb fields, never fails to impress. As you wander around there are plenty of seats to ponder and just drink in the sight & scents of the flora and fauna in front of your eyes. Indoor and outdoor exhibits abound so should the weather be inclement you will still not be disappointed.

Sailing from Newcastle on DFDS, although we had to travel north the journey was worth it. The quality of the ferry is superb. Throughout the tour the weather was baking hot, I had to dash out and buy sun tan lotion! Carl who was driving kept saying all week it is just like being abroad which constantly made everyone all chuckle.

I was amazed at the cross varieties of tulips which have been cultivated over the years. Some looked similar to peonies, others ugly and some very pretty. As the weather was hot we took an optional boat ride around the bulb fields for an extra few Euros. Travelling along the canals, we went under bridges, saw locals on the water out for the day in their own crafts plus a number of birds species which I had never seen before.

Every year I come away looking forward to the next. (late March to early May yearly). We generally offer a tour via coach & ferry but, often book clients to fly from Humberside enjoying a few days in the pretty nearby town of Leiden offering easy access to Keukenhof and the option to enjoy more than just a one day visit.

Floriade is only 10 yearly, a horticultural event always quirky and futuristic! This years theme is sustainable urban living. Three islands which are re claimed land have been used and when the event finishes in September the site will be developed for urban living. There is a Lego model to view of how it will look in the future. The event is totally different to 10 years ago. There is even has a cable car allowing you to have an aerial view of the grounds. I did feel the exhibition still had a long way to go before the plans are fulfilled and looking forward to a second visit this September.

In complete contrast to these new idea’s we also enjoyed an old steam train and a wonderful living museum in the In the town of Enkhuizen, North Holland (similar to our Beamish). I just had to share these clogs with you that I spotted in one of the Merchants houses. Fishing and the sea play a big part of this outdoor museum with old ships and fisherman still doing the nets. They have cows grazing on the pasture, a full village and a windmill.

Everyone returned back to the UK saying it was so good to have been out of the country and had very much enjoyed the change of scenery. This was our first continental coach tour since 2019 and it felt good to be back.

Anyone with travel bookings please have a little patience, rebuilding travel is not easy, airlines in particular are chopping and changing schedules and the pressure is really on to keep on top of bookings.

The industry will get there. Everyone take a moment and check your passports, they are only valid for 10 years from the date of issue. Now you need a minimum of 3 or 6 months to validity travel.

Let’s get back to travelling this year, a change is definitely as good as a rest and I would recommend a break as a great tonic. There are so many options available to travel around our wonderful world including the UK. We look forward to the opportunity of sending you away and creating wonderful memories for you to treasure.

Hull City - by Woody Mellor

The end of the first chapter

Hull City have achieved the first priority for the season by avoiding relegation a fortnight ago but so much more has happened during the campaign to provide much needed optimism. The biggest positive is of course the new ownership. The Allams have finally moved on and we have a new owner who is rapidly becoming a man of the people, promising funds to develop the team, wants the fans to feel welcomed and has ambitions of returning to the Premier League.

Over the past four of five years all we have seen is a managed decline as the Allams reduced their debt and the club budget by the season until the disasters of the 2019-20 season. Relegation and the Covid financial hit meant that the majority of the high earners from the relegated team left and promotion was achieved through youth players and newcomers with more passion or a desire to build careers. These players were on low wages and these players have been the bulk of this seasons’ team. The team surviving and pulling off the occasional upsets have by and large been locally developed or inexperienced at this level. Many have developed throughout the season and players such as Brandon Fleming and Sean McLoughlin for instance look capable at this level. There is a basis of at least a mid-table side if a few extra players can be brought in during the close season.

A number of players face an uncertain future. Eight players are out of contract though you would expect George Honeyman to be offered a new deal and one or two others to have their contact deals extended. Mallik Wilks may even be retained though that may be to secure a transfer fee by August if he doesn’t return fitter and more motivated after the summer break.

There has also been talk of new deals for Jacob Greaves and even Keane Lewis-Potter which would really impress fans as both have been linked with multi-millionpound deals to the likes of Spurs, Brentford and West Ham. I’m not sure if either are quite ready yet and another season here would

help their long-term development rather than stagnating in large Premier League squads. Who knows, Jarrod Bowen has done well at West Ham, maybe big offers may come in and the club takes this for rebuilding purposes.

Twenty million for KLP could help fund the basis of a new squad if the club are looking at the foreign markets rather than over-priced English leagues. The only problem is whether players from Turkey or Eastern Europe for instance are of the required standard. They may struggle or take several weeks to acclimatise. Hopefully our scouting team know this market and who is up to the demands of English football however.

Besides the on-field developments the reaction of the Tiger Nation is equally important. Gates have risen by 3-4,000 so far and there is a fair

way to go to reach 20,000 regularly once again but that won’t happen overnight as the Allams lost 10,000 or more fans over the previous eight years and people lost their black and amber connection. Much will depend on the close season and if there is ambition and the membership and match day pieces can attract fans to return. Being able to pay on the day or opening up the West Stand Upper will

help as well. Making people feel important once again is key and there is no doubt that the club are listening as well as learning from all of the many issues since Hull City Tigers or the membership scheme first came up and caused massive frictions from the club’s taken for granted customers. There is a far more positive attitude within the fan base however, we actually enjoy the experience, fans aren’t arguing over club decisions and the players receive vocal support once again. The ground is not now filled with apathy but with passion and fans proud once again to feel part of their club once again.

We shall have to see what the close season brings, one or two established British players wouldn’t go amiss as it could be a step into the unknown with players with Turkish connections but we just have to put our trust into Acun and continue the rebuilding of Hull City. It may take two to three seasons to achieve their aims but as long as the stadium continues to be a happy place and progress is made then we’ll continue to follow our owners dream.

later on. They also work well in containers. Plants sown last month can also be planted out now, once acclimatised. Protect young plants from slugs and snails and water regularly. Courgettes are hungry crops – feed them weekly once they’ve started flowering.

In May, with only a 10% risk of frost - many vegetable, herb and flower seeds can be directly sown outdoors, while earlier sowings can now be planted out after a period of acclimatisation (hardening off) to outside conditions.

Vegetables to plant in May Beetroot If you’re new to growing vegetables, beetroot is a good, easy-to-grow option. The seeds don’t need much encouragement to germinate and they require little maintenance once established. Beetroot ‘Boltardy’ is one of the most popular cultivars to grow, but you could also try a more unusually coloured

cultivar, such as ‘Touchstone Gold’.

Sow seeds direct in shallow drills or pots. Now’s also the time to plant out pre-sown beetroot plugs outside – make sure you plant them before the roots develop or they will grow into unusual shapes.

Sweetcorn May is the last time to sow sweetcorn, to give the plants plenty of time to grow and ripen. For best results, sow

in a multi-celled tray indoors and plant out when the seedlings are large enough to handle. Any sweetcorn plants sown in April can be planted out now, after a period of hardening off.

Cucumber Cucumbers do best in a greenhouse but some newer varieties have been bred to tolerate outside conditions.

Sow into multi-celled seed trays or individual pots and pot on when seedlings are large enough to handle.

Sprouting broccoli An extremely robust crop, sprouting broccoli produces nutrient-packed, succulent spears, which are perfect for steaming, boiling and grilling. It’s easy to grow, and if you grow different varieties, you can harvest broccoli spears throughout winter and into spring. Sow into seed trays or small pots and pot on until they’re ready to plant out.

Strawberries Strawberry runners can be planted outside now, and if you keep them well watered in the coming weeks you should get a small harvest, especially from ever-bearing varieties, which fruit over a longer season.

Gooseberries Pot-grown gooseberries can be planted in May, but bear in mind that the plant may be flowering at this time, so you’ll need to water it regularly to ensure the crop doesn’t fail. In dry conditions, it may be best to remove any flowers and let the plant focus on becoming established, instead. After planting, mulch around the base with home-made compost to conserve moisture in the soil.

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

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

MY FAVOURITE MONTH Do you have a favourite month? Mine is most definitely May – so yay! It’s May! For starters, it’s my birthday and my wedding anniversary. There are blossom trees flowering everywhere and forget-me-nots (my favourite flower) plus the weather is usually fairly warm (although I read a headline saying that we were about to have the coldest May on record!) I’m not going to let that bother me though because it’s May – and things are always a little brighter! It’s mid-Spring but it’s very nearly Summer.

Things always seem more possible in May – and, to top it all, there are two bank holidays.

Well, except this year because they’ve moved the 2nd one to June for the Queen’s Jubilee. So, I wish you all a very Happy May and hope you enjoy it as much as I plan to!

OUR GARDEN KITCHEN I’m so excited because my husband has almost finished building our garden kitchen! It’s in a part of the garden we never really used before so it’s a great addition – and we’re looking forward to firing up the pizza oven and having loads of barbecues. I think we’ve all been using our gardens so much more since the start of the covid pandemic and it’s one of the changes I think will stick. And with the cost of living skyrocketing at the moment, eating al fresco in the garden on a summer’s evening doesn’t sound too bad at all!

TOO GOOD TO GO Talking about the cost of living – have you heard of an app called ‘Too Good to Go’? It was created back in 2015 in Denmark as a way of eliminating food waste – and it’s been catching on around the world ever since. A lovely lady I met dog walking told me about it recently – and it sounded too good to be true – but she’s used it herself with great results. Basically, it connects you with extra or leftover food from local restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets, bakeries etc who sell it to you at a reduced price to help fight food waste. Such a simple and fantastic idea. I knew shops did this but I didn’t realise there was an app that organised it all for you. When food is wasted, it also wastes the energy and water it took to grow and package it. Food also ends up in landfills producing methane, which is a greenhouse gas and more potent than carbon dioxide.

So while saving money, you have the added bonus of helping to protect our beautiful planet. I’m going to give it a go! Are you?

Have a great May everyone!
