Bi-Folding Doors With the arrival of Summer and the wonderful warm weather, those Spring and Winter days spent hibernating away from the cold inside are now well and truly behind us. Rather than blocking the elements out, we can endeavour to spend more time outside and begin to welcome the outside in.

Architectural design has been evolving over recent years to be more ‘welcoming’ to our surrounding environment. This has involved both a significant increase in the volume of glass used within our properties and also homes being designed in an increasingly ‘open’ style, generating a heightened sense of both light and space.

BeverleyMag June 2017

One feature which has epitomised this new trend is the bi-folding door. Glass bi-folding doors effectively enable whole walls to disappear, blurring the distinction between indoor and outdoor.

As the weather improves bi-folding doors can thus enable us to expand our liveable area, through creating a seamless transition between once distinct environments.

Top tips to make your rental property feel like home It can be difficult for tenants to put their stamp on their rental home, take a look at our top tips for making your rental home feel like home.

Don’t forget that if you are wishing to undertake any decorating you will need to get permission from your landlord. l Use soft furnishings to make your mark. Choose an accent colour or jazzy pattern and use curtains and cushions to tie this in. This is particularly useful if you live in furnished accommodation. l If you choose a non-furnished property you will be able to purchase your own furniture to your own taste. l Have you heard about temporary wall and tile decals, these simply stick on to walls or bathroom tiles and peel off when you leave.

l Get creative with storage – whilst you may not be able to put up shelves, consider ladder style shelves that simply lean against walls or IKEA do some great free standing shelving units that can provide a great backdrop to a room once filled with books, dvds and pictures. l Use mirrors to create the illusion of more space, you can lean these against walls rather than hang them up. l If your landlord has given you permission to decorate, make sure that you also check if they are expecting you to return the property to its original condition when you move out. You might not want to redecorate a property that you are leaving!

l Display art and photos – don’t forget to check you are ok to pop nails in the wall before you do so. If you’re not allowed to do this, explore other options such as displaying art by standing frames on your fireplace and any shelves. l Accessorise – use quirky and stylish accessories such as colourful rugs and floor lamps. l Pick up some plants – plants are perfect for livening up any space.

Beverley beckons for some of Britain’s top cyclists as town gears up for elite race Britain’s elite cyclists will once again sprint through the historic streets of Beverley, cheered on by thousands of spectators.

The event, organised by the Hull Thursday Road Club and EY Events, will be aired on Eurosport TV and starts from 6pm on Friday, 21 July.

The Beverley event has a first prize of £1,000 and a total prize fund of £5,000 and is round four of eight counting towards a national series held over six weeks.

Andy Cawley, race organiser, said: “This is a wonderful example of voluntary groups, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Beverley Town Council, East Yorkshire Events, Humberside Police and numerous local sponsors working together to deliver a top-class sporting spectacle, that is free to watch.”

Will Hall, EY Events manager, said: “This race is a firm fixture on the British Cycling calendar and has been held in Beverley for more than a decade.

“As well as providing residents and visitors with the chance to see a first-class sporting event for free, it also brings financial gains for the local economy and an opportunity to showcase the town and the East Riding to a national audience.”

The remainder of Saturday Market (including the area between Carluccio’s and The Grapes Public House) will be closed to all traffic between 4pm-midnight, with the exception of taxi, disabled and delivery vehicle drivers who will be allowed access until 5pm.

Motorists are asked to use alternative car parks, such as George Street, Grayburn Lane, School Lane and Trinity Lane. This will also apply to disabled drivers who would otherwise park in Cross Street, Saturday Market and Sow Hill.

BeverleyMag June 2017

PROPERTY COLUMN How to ‘add value’ with projects Previous months I have discussed how to improve the selling position of your house these focused on low cost high reward solutions. However, there are times when these approaches might not be enough. There are times when the large projects might be needed. It is important to remember for any street or area there is a ‘ceiling price’ which no matter how much you invest this is the maximum prices buyers will pay for that street or area.

During the sale, a buyer will typically identify structural items which need repair. Examples include broken roof tiles or signs of penetration damp from broken down pipes. These are areas which contractors might be used as these jobs are beyond a typical DIY skills. Therefore, if you instruct a contactor to repair these structural issues you are not only improving the property but also reducing the potential for a re negotiation during the sales process.

In these times of high energy cost the updating of the central heating, double glazing and improved insulation can provide valuable selling features. I have heard that the efficiency of gas boilers has made significant improvements over the past 10 years. After updating these a new Energy Performance Certificate can be used to show the impact of these improvements.

The kitchen remains a central part of the property. If despite relatively low cost improvements including replacing door handles and flooring the kitchen still is not right then you might consider a significant makeover. Although this action must be done with caution as remember your requirements and what you consider ideal might not be the same as the future owners. You need to consider the costs and potential benefits carefully. A state of the art stainless steel and black granite modern kitchen although might appeal to you might not appeal to everyone.

Work done to improve bathrooms is also an area which you need to consider the budget. Clean looking bathrooms with typically a shower is considered a minimum for most potential buyers. However, the bathroom needs to match the overall feel of the property and the price. For example, an expensive hot tub bath might appeal to yourself but if this means the selling prices goes above the ‘ceiling price’ this could be an investment which does not add value.

Providing extra space by typically a loft conversion or loft extensions can improve the overall appeal of the house. Although every property is different and there needs to be a balance between the cost of the extra space and the potential increase in sales value. The potential number of buyers looking for a 6-bedroom terraced house might be relatively few.

Finally, the outdoor space and typically the garden is an area which cannot only add wow factors but also if designed correctly can show the potential buyer the benefits of outdoor living. Clearing over grown beds and cutting back tall tree are relatively inexpensive actions which could be completed. Whilst the inclusion of elements from the Chelsea Flower Show are typically more expensive.

The above is not a full comprehensive list during the appraisal of your property a good Estate Agent should be able to identify these areas and make possible suggestion.

Until next month take care.

Popular Moors Explorer Bus Returns For Summer 2017 Local bus company East Yorkshire Motor Services has announced that its popular Moors Explorer bus from Hull, Hessle, Cottingham and Beverley to the North York Moors will run again during Summer 2017.

Moors Explorer is the only direct public transport route up to the North York Moors from the Hull and East Riding area, and is especially loved by ramblers, who use it to access parts of the Moors which are otherwise inaccessible for those without a car.

The bus calls at Hessle, Anlaby, Willerby, Hull City Centre, Cottingham and Beverley before travelling up to Malton, Pickering, Kirkbymoorside, Hutton le Hole, Blakey, Castleton and Danby. There is also the opportunity to travel from Pickering on to Helmsley and Thornton Le Dale, using other EYMS buses.

This year, the bus will be running during the May Bank Holiday weekend (28 & 29 May), and then on the summer Sundays and bank holidays of 23 & 30 July and 6, 13, 20, 27 & 28 August.

EYMS Marketing Manager Claire Robinson commenting on the Moors Explorer bus service said;

the North York Moors without clogging up the roads with cars.”

“Rain or shine, there’s always something to do and see up in the Moors, so plan Moors Explorer into your next visit to the Yorkshire Moors and help us ensure that we can keep running this valuable service for years to come.”

More information can be found by picking up a leaflet from Hull Interchange, Beverley Bus Station, or local Tourist Information Centres.

“Moors Explorer has had a great reaction from the public since we Further details can also be obtained from the EYMS website at launched it a few years ago, and it gives people a ‘green’ way to visit www.eyms.co.uk or ringing BusLine on 01482 59 29 29.

Public warned about unlicensed limos and executive cars Parents booking stretch limousines and executive vehicles to take their children to school proms and people wishing to arrive at the races in style need to check they have the correct licenses.

The warning comes from East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s licensing team who have revealed that in the last year, checks on these kinds of vehicles have revealed two cars booked for prom events were not licensed while an unlicensed driver was operating at Ladies Day at Beverley Racecourse last year.

Before making a booking, people should check the vehicle and driver are correctly licensed while a driver should be able to show their driver’s licence, licence plate and driver’s badge or be authorised by VOSA if more than eight passengers are being carried or the vehicle is a stretch limousine.

Tina Holtby, licensing manager at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “Stretch limousines are increasingly popular from prom-style parties and race days and we want to make sure that cars such as these stay within the law.

“We don’t want to cause undue worry to parents or race-goers but we would ask people to be cautious about companies offering huge reduction in costs and working only for cash.

“The council is here to make sure people get to their special events safely and we would urge that parents don’t swap style for safety when booking a vehicle.”

Operating private hire vehicles without a licence is a criminal offence with rogue operators facing a maximum fine of £1,000.

Operating or driving without required licences may also invalidate any insurance.

For information or advice on booking stretch limousines with eight passenger seats or less contact taxi.hub@eastriding.gov.uk and for vehicles with more than eight passenger seats email VOSA at enquiries@vosa.gov.uk

Dining In & Dining Out

Grub’s Up: We get to grips with the insects on trendy menus Someone once told me that, in the UK, we’ll start to eat insects when insects no longer look like insects. Well, there’s no mistaking the soy-covered critter staring up from my fork, with its juicy abdomen, winged thorax and pair of big, bug eyes.

I raise the fork to my mouth and reason with myself: I eat prawns, and prawns are the insects of the sea. “Exactly,” nods Seb Holmes, the chef who has just prepared the salt and pepper fried cricket I’m chowing down on. “And crickets are the prawns of the sky.”

There’s an argument employed by proponents of bug grub. It goes like this: Brits once found the idea of eating raw fish repulsive, now M&S and Boots sell it for lunch. Curry, kebabs, quinoa; even spag bol was once considered exotic. But tastes change over time.

of insect-based products including a spread made from mealworms, carrots and tomatoes.

Other countries followed suit. One of Holland’s main supermarket chains, Jumbo, introduced a range of insect foods in 400 stores, which included bug burgers and breaded bug balls. And in the UK and US, the fitness industry has started to use high protein insect-derived ingredients such as cricket flour to make energy bars.

Last year, Seb and Grub published the Ultimate Insect Cookbook, in which the chef was given free rein to design recipes using crickets, mealworms and grasshoppers.

“It was fun. I felt like Willy Wonka,” he laughs. “I think now, insects are becoming a viable food source. We are not saying don’t eat meat, we are saying try them and see what you think. They are a surprisingly versatile ingredient that can be added whole or made into flours and pastes.

That may be, but as far as I know, no one has ever had to call out Rento-kill to deal with a nasty infestation of salmon sashimi. The issue here is the raw ingredient. Creepy crawlies are... creepy.

Seb is one of the pioneers behind a movement to change this aversion.

Founder of London’s (insect-free) Farang restaurant, his book Cook Thai came out earlier this year, when he launched the UK’s first monthly insect themed pop-up restaurant in association with Grub - a food company which aims to introduce insects to the British palate and spread the word about the benefits - feeding diners a five-course tasting menu of Thai-inspired insect dishes. It’s already a sell-out.

The invertebrate ingredients are supplied by Entovista, the first commercial British farm to produce insects for human consumption, which humanely culls crickets in batches of 4000. The question most traditional carnivores may ask is: why?

For a start, insects are more nutritious than meat. Some grubs are 78 percent protein with less fat than beef, pork or fish, but high levels of vitamins and minerals. Some worms, for example, contain a comparable amount of Omega 3 and 6 oils to fish.

Secondly, they are easy, cheap, quick and environmentally friendly to produce in vast numbers. It takes over 13,000 litres of fresh water and 25kg of soya-based animal feed to produce 1kg of grain-fed beef protein, versus eight litres to produce 1kg of cricket protein, (which can be fed on waste).

Eating insects has always had a novelty value in the West, thanks to I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and tequilla worms, but two billion people around the world already devour them in one form or another.

In 2013, Belgium became the first European country to allow the sale of insects for human consumption. Supermarkets there stock a range BeverleyMag June 2017

“They have different tastes depending on how they are cooked.

Crickets taste like shrimp when they are fried and like cocoa powder when they are roasted. Freeze-dried grasshoppers taste like walnut.

Ants work well sprinkled as seasoning, some taste like little pops of lime on your tongue, others like vinegar. Buffalo worms complement pork.”

Cricket miang is in a different league altogether, however. The one-bite parcels made with toasted coconut, pomegranate, lime, and chilli are traditionally made with shrimp, which Seb substitutes with cricket paste and a few whole critters for presentation. Wrapped in a Betel leaf, the dish is an explosion of flavour. “A gateway dish,” according to Seb. The grasshopper praline ice cream is also delicious, the crushed insect providing a nutty crunch and hint of bitterness that balances the sweet creaminess - and melts away my misgivings.

With a European protein shortage on the horizon, if we can get over our queasiness and embrace invertebrates, there is a ready supply of nutrition right under our feet. And with pioneers like Seb to make insects palatable, like ant sprinkles on a cupcake, the answer is a nobrainer.

Seb Holmes (left) writes a food blog called Articuleat.

Through his blog, Seb tries to give readers an inside perspective to the exciting buzz of the food industry through a chef’s eyes, popup’s, insects, restaurants and Thai food. Seb featured on ITV’s The Secret Life our Your House where he showed how delicious eating insects can be. His personality and unusual skills make him perfect for TV.

Do Try This At Home Eating al fresco creates a sense of occasion, elevating the most familiar of meals into something a bit more social. Add an inspired ‘no-effort’ drinks choice and you’ll have the makings of a more authentic culinary experience as well.

According to the experts, aromatic white wines such as Riesling and Pinot Noir suit Chinese and Thai dishes and Rose´ goes with everything. For a thirst-quenching option, choose Thai beers and Indian Pale Ales.

Sharing platters typify colourful Mediterranean dishes and there’re plenty of wines to complement.

Prosecco and sparkling wines suit summer eating, whilst full-bodied Chiantis and Riojas add depth to sunshine flavours.

A glass or two of sparkling wine, spritzers or non-alcoholic fruit punch jazzes up a salad, whilst Pimms and lemonade with cucumber and garden mint is the perfect tipple for an afternoon tea.

Perennial summer favourites, cider and scrumpy are back in fashion thanks to a whole fruit bowl of flavours and are a good match for a ploughman’s.

You’ll find them on supermarket shelves alongside the heritage brands and a new crop of future classics from artisan brewers.

BeverleyMag June 2017

Taking things beyond the eating stage, there’s still no effort involved with pre-mixed cans of all manner of spirits, gin in various disguises, Jack Daniels with honey, strawberry daiquiri and mojito to name a few.

There are plenty of no or low-alcohol options with ‘posh’ cordials getting a make-over, nostalgic lemonade or low alcohol ginger beer and home-concocted or ready prepared ‘mocktails’.

No need to get the kettle or coffee maker on to finish things off if you serve preprepared speciality iced coffees, or for a change to match Asian inspired foods, why not try an iced mint tea or Chai Latte?

Cheers!

The search is on to find the best young chef in Hull and East Yorkshire.

Organised by the Hull and East Riding Hospitality Association and now in its eleventh year, the Copper Saucepan competition seeks to discover the Apprentice Chef of the Year and culminates with a live cook-off as part of the Beverley Food Festival in October.

The winner will receive £300 and a trophy. The runner-up receives £100 and both finalists will also get the chance to spend a day in the kitchens of the acclaimed Winteringham Fields restaurant alongside celebrity chef Colin McGurran, twice a winner on the Great British Menu television series.

Launching this year’s competition, Paul Vinsen, chairman of the hospitality association (HEYHA), said: “This competition is designed to encourage and showcase the up-and-coming young talents of the industry. Catering has become a popular career choice, thanks to the power of television and the celebrities it creates, and now more than ever we are seeing some real talent coming through at a young age.”

There is no upper age limit for participants - the competition is open to anyone currently working in the catering industry with four years or less experience. An entry form is available on the HEYHA website (www.heyha.co.uk). Deadline for entries is June 9.

Initially, they will be asked to devise a three-course menu which will be judged on the quality and uniqueness of the dishes, including the use of good quality local produce. From those entries a shortlist of entrants will be drawn up and invited to prepare their menu in no more than two hours in a cook-off at Hull College on Monday June 26. Dishes will be judged on flavour and execution.

The two finalists will then be chosen and invited to cook a two-course meal, live on stage, in no more than 30 minutes, at Beverley Food Festival on Sunday October 1.

Past winners of the Copper Saucepan trophy have gone on to further their careers, working in some of the region’s finest restaurants. “With the competition going from strength to strength, we’re really hoping for a bumper entry,” said Mr Vinsen.

Past winners have come from Lazaat in Cottingham, Tickton Grange Hotel, The Lairgate Hotel, Beverley, the Pipe & Glass, South Dalton (twice), the Millhouse, Cottingham, Hallmark Hotel, North Ferriby, and the Star at Sancton.

Last year, Connor Berney, of the Ashbourne Hotel, Killingholme, triumphed in the final in a cook-off against Vicky Martin, of the Holiday Inn Hull Marina.

How to cook the perfect steak

Although many a cook would argue that the pig is a trottered suitcase of infinitely more options than the cow, I stand by team cow. Sadly, I cannot dwell on the delights of pressed-muzzle vinaigrette or poached tongue, beetroots and horseradish, as I must concentrate on the love of steak alone.

Nonetheless, a steak is, and should absolutely always be, a treat, however often eaten. When it comes to bread, I cannot deny chewing on sliced white pigeon food and I must admit to having drunk a lot of cheap, bad wine, but with steak, I will pay the price down to that last spinning gold coin.

It’s the price that must be paid for what should always be a great life with one bad day - the way I hope to go. I don’t care to know the Christian name of a particular cow or even which field it’s from, as I believe this storytelling is often a hoodwink for quality. Beef cattle should be husbanded with love and grown slowly on good pastures.

They will get fat in the right places - and fat is key. In short, buy beef from a trusted butcher and steer clear (excuse the pun) of cheap or cut-price meat for, all too often, dietary obsessions and the trend for overly lean meat only makes for a tricky cooking experience and a bland end result. It’s far better to graze less when stopping to buy petrol, but to enjoy a properly fattened steak occasionally.

Try to ignore the flimsy mantra of hanging beef for 21 days, too, as it means nothing if the meat isn’t good in the first place. If there’s no fat, there’s no point - even virtually fat-less steak cuts taste better from a well-fatted cow.

When it comes to the actual cooking, the ‘thumb and fingers’ rule for testing whether it’s ‘done’ is often unreliable. For those who don’t know what this is, don’t worry - it should be forgotten.

Much more importantly, sizzling sounds must immediately be heard from meat entering the pan or hot-footing it onto the charcoal, as this will ensure a pleasing caramelisation and, subsequently, a deeper taste. The chances are that, if the pan was quiet for a while, the meat will still be grey on the outside even when it’s ready to leave the pan. If there’s no sizzle, don’t start cooking.

As a general rule, however, top chefs recommend that, when cooking a rib-eye weighing about 190g (6½oz), you fry each side of the steak for 1 minute 30 seconds for rare; 2 minutes for medium rare; 2 minutes

15 seconds for medium and 3 minutes for well done. And, whatever you do, don’t move the steak until it’s time to turn it over. If there’s a good strip of fat, I stand the meat on the rind and fry it for a bit, so that, when fully cooked, the crispy fat can be enjoyed too.

Taking time to rest the steak is also important, as, while cooking, the juices of the meat are chased into the middle and are redistributed when the meat is allowed to relax. The meat needs to unclench from the shock of the heat and relax into juicy tenderness. Resting also allows the cooking process to continue for a while, too.

If you eat your steak straight out of the pan, it’s likely to be more raw in the middle than intended, yet, if allowed to rest for a good 5–10 minutes, it will be perfect.

At the end of cooking, be sure to season your meat with good-quality flaked sea salt. The addition of herbs,such as fresh tarragon, fresh sweet marjoram, rosemary (fresh or dried), oregano (fresh or dried) and sage (fresh or dried), is great with beef, too.

Gardening quick fixes for summer

Gardening

Even if your garden is in a state, it’s not too late to get it spruced up for summer It’s that time of year again: to swing open the back door, feel the sun against your skin… and promptly burst into tears at the sight of your garden. Monty Don’s Longmeadow this isn’t. Unloved, neglected, with a faint “communist state” air to it; if annual summer garden despair (ASGD) is upon you, you’re not alone. Luckily, there’s an enormous amount you can do quickly to transform outside space without using up your life’s savings, or precious free time, in the process. Yes, a green and fronded oasis of barbecues and drinks into the evening can be yours. And never mind that you’ve never picked up a trowel in your life.

I know this because I started in much the same way, on a rented balcony beneath the Heathrow flight path. What started as a few pots of flowers rapidly became an obsession: an escape from ludicrous work hours, continual stress and a depression I’d been wrangling with my entire adult life.

Because here’s the unexpected thing about tending a garden: as well as looking lovely, as well as providing a handy place for dinner with friends on a warm evening, the act of covering yourself with compost while coaxing a misbehaving brassica from the soil makes you happy. In a world where we spend eight hours and 45 minutes a day in front of a digital screen, growing something with your own two hands and watching it slowly flourish is good for the soul. Healing, even.

disproportionately large difference. One of the quickest and most dramatic design tricks I know is to paint fences. Colour them white and light will flood into your garden bouncing off every surface. However, we live in a golden age of exterior paint colours, where major DIY retailers will mix pigments to your specification. Go bold. Perhaps Yves Klein blue on the back wall? Stick a few big potted ferns against it, and your garden will be Instagram-ready in no time.

Add a string of festoon lighting, a big colourful umbrella and a deckchair or two, and summer garden smugness will be yours.

So this weekend, I’m here to solve your top gardening woes, just in time for summer.

‘I have a tiny unloved patio and want to give it a makeover without breaking the bank. Help!’

Take heart. The wonderful thing about an insultingly small garden featuring nothing but an upturned chair and a Quavers packet blown in from next door is that even the tiniest change will make a

Gardening ‘I want to grow my own vegetables, but have only a titchy balcony. Is there anything I can grow?’

Lack of space be damned: thanks to the miracle of pre-grown seedlings from the “grow your own” aisle at the garden centre, there’s a market stall’s worth of fruit and veg you can start growing this very weekend.

Growing something with your own two hands is good for the soul A courgette is an excellent choice for a large, deep container, providing edible flowers as well as arming you against any future #courgettecrisis. A small yellow variety such as ‘Taxi’ is a great option. Little round ‘Atlas’ carrots are equally happy in a container, as is beetroot. Salad, such as rainbow chard and little gem lettuce, will be happy as a prancing pony in a pot (one plant per container if you’re using smallish terracotta ones). And don’t forget the railing of your balcony.

Everything from trailing tomatoes to strawberries can be planted in hanging baskets or hook-over-the-edge planters, boosting your growing space to nearCountryfile levels.

‘I rent, so have to grow everything in containers. What can I plant now that will look good all summer?’

I’m a big fan of container planting. Easy to look after, instantly attractive and a cinch to move if they need more sun or protection. Different-sized planters grouped together give an instant “I know what I’m doing in the garden” look, too, which is a bonus.

In the words of my late grandma, massive great pots can be ruinously expensive, so scour junk shops and flea markets for old chimneys, milk churns, metal tubs or – my favourite – nip round the back of your local takeaway and see if they have any empty brightly coloured oil drums by the bins. Vibrantly hued and suitably distressed, these have the brilliant attribute of looking very expensive for free. Assorted terracotta pots age beautifully and look excellent wherever you put them.

BeverleyMag June 2017

But what to put in them? Start with one or two big structural plants to fill your space with colour. Hydrangea. Hosta. A perennial flowering bush such as shasta daisies. Small fruit, olive and bay trees are far less expensive than you’d think and add instant height. Then a mix of bushy herbs (a purple-leaved sage, rampant parsley or mint, say) and something suitably low-maintenance, colourful and edible, such as violas or pansies.

With flowers, the more you pick, the more they grow.

Deadhead regularly, and they’ll last all summer.

‘The walls and fences in my garden are ugly. What can I do to improve their appearance?’

We’ve already covered the joy of outdoor paint, but there are all sorts of other ways to spruce up your boundaries. Training climbers such as rambling rose, jasmine, honeysuckle and clematis up a dodgy wall is a classic English garden approach, but this will take a year or so really to get going.

For instant results, a ladder planter propped against a wall and filled with brimming-over plant pots will provide extra growing space as well as disguising less than perfect walls and fencing.

For crumbling old walls, the tiny flowers of Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus) or London pride (the plant, not the beer: Latin name Saxifraga x urbium) are quick-growing, crack-colonising wonders.

And don’t forget good old moss, especially in shady corners. The best way to grow moss up a vertical surface is to blend it with yoghurt to a milkshake consistency and simply paint it where you want it to grow. I know. Magic.

So there we are: ASGD cured. Your summer garden sorted in nary more than a weekend. All that remains is to pour yourself a strong cold drink to celebrate and bask in the glow of your own cleverness. Cheers.

What’s On Talk – Beverley at Waterloo: Heroes and Writers Thursday, 15 June, 6.30pm Education Room, Treasure House, Beverley Art Gallery Paul Brunyee, Waterloo Association.

The battle of Waterloo and the Peninsular War resulted in a tremendous outpouring of writing both in letters and diaries. The East Riding is remarkable for having produced two of the most quoted diarists in military history, George Simmons and Alexander Mercer and interestingly Beverley also has other direct links to this famous battle.

Paul Brunyee of the Waterloo Association, with the aid of illustrations, letters, medals and antique weapons will bring these stories to life.

Paul is editor of The Waterloo Journal and is an active member of the Waterloo 200 Education Committee. He has recently contributed research towards the Waterloo200National Army Museum website, worked in schools and has also acted as a guide on the battlefield.

Exhibition – Red Earth and Blue Water: Studies of Indian Life by Susan Beaulah Saturday, 1 July to Saturday, 26 August Beverley Art Gallery

Susan Beaulah has been painting and exhibiting regularly since the 1980s in both watercolour and oil.

Latterly her works have been produced mainly in India – from Rajasthan in the north to Kerala in the south.

To convey the essential features of the people and places she has encountered, she paints in the open air, from direct observation. This helps her to depict a vibrant and colourful world of everyday activity in rural and coastal communities, a world largely unfamiliar to 21st century Europeans.

Exhibition – ‘Morning Campers!’

The British Holiday Camp Saturday, 15 July to Saturday, 16 September Treasure House, Beverley Art Gallery

A nostalgic exhibition exploring the history of the British Holiday Camp. The first Holiday Camp appeared in 1894 on the Isle of Man; however it was in the 1930s that Billy Butlin launched the concept of the holiday camp in a gigantic way.

The concept grew rapidly after the Second World War and dominated the British holiday scene through the 1950s and 1960s. This exhibition celebrates this uniquely British institution.

Health & Wellbeing

Is aftersun really necessary?

For those of us who have ever returned from a siesta on the beach, a splash in the sea or just an unexpectedly sunny lunch-hour stroll, the feeling of “hot” skin – red raw, tight and warm to the touch – is all too common.

Over-exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays causes inflamed capillaries and skin damage; symptoms of the dreaded sunburn.

Normally we’d reach for an aftersun formula to minimise long-term damage and shorten the after-effects, but is this what they actually do?

Typically it takes two to six hours for sunburn to rear its angry head, and the effects can worsen in the 24 hours following. “Owing to the time delay in noticeable symptoms, many people get out of the sun too late to stop the damage from occurring”” warns Dr Dominik Göddertz, Nivea’s global product developer.

Once you get in from the sun, the first course of action should be a cool bath (not a shower, as the impact of the water may cause further pain) with a few teaspoons of almond oil added for its skin-soothing and hydrating properties.

Once the skin has been cooled and hydrated, the inflammatory proteins released from the burn will retreat.

Next, slather on an aftersun, as liberally as you would (read: should) apply your sun cream.

“Whether you opt for a light cream or gel formula, the biggest benefit from aftersun is its high water content which cools and hydrates,” says Candice Gardner, education curriculum manager at Dermalogica.

“The second benefit, which may not be present in every formula but is worth looking out for, is the healing properties of plant extracts, such as aloe, which desensitise and reduce redness.”

Wondering why you can’t use a thick aloe-based moisturiser in that case? Heavy creams contain high levels of oil, creating a barrier over your skin, trapping the heat and causing prolonged pain, redness and sensitivity.

“Aftersun-specific products are created to refresh, hydrate and soothe the skin only, and won’t create a barrier,” says Dr Göddertz.

Instead they create a “cream bandage”, keeping the area underneath protected and hydrated. You’d be mistaken for thinking then that a great aftersun was key to the short-term “healthy tan” we so often strive for. Think again.

BeverleyMag June 2017

“Aftersun doesn’t make sitting in the sun any less dangerous. It can’t replace sun lotion and won’t be able to ‘fix’ sun damage, either,” says Dr Göddertz.

This is because sunburn is DNA damage, and once it has taken place, it can’t be totally repaired. “You can, however, try to increase the DNA damage removal and repair, and try to make the skin look and feel better, which is most people’s primary concern,” says Dr Harold Lancer, celebrity dermatologist and founder of Lancer Skincare. This is where aftersun comes in handy.

“The longer the heat from sunburnt skin is ignored, the longer the inflammatory proteins from it create a greater depth of damage to the skin layers, so the use of aftersun is completely valid.”

Since most aftersun products only fight the symptoms of sunburn, and won’t provide any long-term aid to skin, it goes without saying that the only way to avoid the need for aftersun altogether is to steer clear of the sun from 11am to 3pm, in the UK as well as abroad. Sun-damaged skin “remembers” being burnt, and is more susceptible to being burnt again.

When the sun is at its highest, your nose, shoulders, lips and forehead will be most vulnerable as they protrude. Opt for a sun hat with a wide brim and reapply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to these areas most often so as not to exacerbate the drying effects.

Choose sunglasses in a wraparound style or with thick arms and with a polarised lens to keep your sensitive eye area safe.

CROWNED CHAMPIONS!

Crown AFC are the new name on the Humber Premier League Trophy for the 2016-2017 season.

After a nervy March, picking up only 5 points from a possible 9, Crown went into April knowing it was a must win game away to title rivals Sculcoates Amateurs.

That game didn’t go to plan either with the home side leading at the break 1-0, but with 3 second half goals, Crown ran out 3-1 winners and the upper hand into the final weeks of the season, which would see them as eventual league winners.

A humble statement of thanks was released by club manager Dean Markham, ensuring everyone was recognised throughout this journey, highlighting the hard work has been carried out over a number of seasons and not just this historic one. Finally thanking Mel Markham, Dean’s Dad, and highlighting local football is far more than what goes on at training and matchday and everything that happens off the pitch is equally as important.

Dean went on to say “Massive thanks, well done and congratulations to all!!"

Crown are also on for an unprecedented double, with a Whiteheads Fish & Chips Cup Final place against LIV Supplies on Thursday 11th May. The HPL Division 1 side will be no push over having already beaten HPL opposition in Chalk Lane and South Cave in the semis.

The smart way to lose fat with your food Nutritional advice on how to shrink your belly Here’s the reality: it doesn’t matter how hard you train in the gym if you don’t put the same time, effort and focus into what you do in the kitchen. The old saying that “you can’t out-train a bad diet” is something of a cliché, but like all clichés it’s rooted in truth. And if you want to make big changes to how you look with your shirt off – and as quickly as possible – then you need to start thinking more about mealtimes. Here’s our expert advice on how you can start to eat smarter and torch body fat faster.

Health & Fitness an abundance of vitamins and minerals to keep your fat-torching mission on track.

High protein evening meals

Your final meal of the day needs to be high in protein, especially if you’ve just worked out to help the repair of your damaged muscles.

Baked salmon, grilled steak or chicken breasts on top of a pile of grilled or roasted veg will provide all your body needs. Add avocado or home-made hummus for some healthy fats to allow your body to better absorb certain vitamins.

Be smart with your carbs

To lose belly fat quickly you need to be smart with your carbs. A small amount of certain carbs, like sweet potato or wholegrain rice, with dinner after training can aid recovery and help you get to sleep quicker. But the sugars and processed carbs found in chocolate, cakes, biscuits and sodas should be avoided if you want to burn fat and not gain it.

Hydration is very important

Being hydrated is crucial to getting lean quickly because The importance of if your body is struggling breakfasts with the mental and physical When following this training plan problems of dehydration, breakfast is the most important meal of your day because what you eat it doesn’t have the resources or inclination to burn fat. Aim to drink first thing helps dictate better eating habits until bedtime. A breakfast at least three litres of water a day - carry a big bottle with you and made from lean protein, healthy fats and fibre - think eggs, bacon, and sip frequently - and drink more on training days to ensure you stay yes, some green vegetables - provides a sustained release of energy, so hydrated. hunger won’t hit before lunch.

Learn about lunch

Swapping a pre-packed sandwich and crisps for a big bowl of green leaves, mixed veg and chicken, tuna or another quality protein will help shrink your belly fast. A lunch like this will provide musclebuilding protein, more stomach-filling fibre to ward off cravings, and

Pick the right snacks

To burn fat you need to be in a calorie deficit (expending more than you take in) so inevitably you will feel hungry at times. Nutrient-dense snacks - nuts, natural yogurt, beef jerky - will fill you up and top up your intake of protein, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. Avoid highsugar nutrientlight snacks, and watch your belly melt away.

Hull City Column

So where do Hull City go from here?

Next season will see trips to the Emirates or Old Trafford replaced by visits to Burton Albion and Millwall and unless something dramatic changes even these games could be daunting, of the team that ended the season six loanees have departed, Davies is going and most of the team aiming first team regulars are likely to be bought by Premier League teams. According to the media Maguire is attracting clubs such as Spurs and Everton, Jakupovic and Grosicki have several admirers, Robertson has been linked to Liverpool for a month, Clucas atracting interest from clubs such as West Brom and Josh Tymon will sign a professional deal with someone like Newcastle. Added to this Elmo may join Bruce at Villa and Hernandez will try to land a deal and big wages in China.

If Curtis Davies has gone then even Huddlestone and Dawson may yet depart.

East Stand Views...

Potentially the Allam’s could pocket another £40 - £50 million in transfer fees unless clubs can force through cheaper deals for set buy out fees. The question is whether these funds and the £30 million parachute payments will be reinvested or will we go the way of Blackpool and play youngsters and free transfer has beens? Many suspect the latter but what would be the best option for the Allams?

Should they pocket the cash or try to get the club promoted back to the Sky riches and a potential sale. They could have sold the club on for £70 million or so twelve months ago but they demanded £150 million and the only interest came from

BeverleyMag June 2017

China. They well and truly botched up a sale over the past year. Is selling the club the main option or could they wind us down taking the Sky money and fire sale money?

Maybe another promotion is the aim?

The club could have appointed a low cost lower division manager but if local media outlets are to be believed then they have lined up the former CSKA Moscow and Russia manager Leonid Slutsky alongside a new head of recruitment/ director of football. Slutsky has won trophies and has both Champions league and International football experience. Surely he would only consider us if he has a fighting chance of recruiting a promotion winning side? Will Ehab keep out of player recruitment this summer if someone comes in to arrange recruitment. Will next season be a team of Eastern European signings and youngsters from Chelsea from Slutsky’s association with Roman Abramovich. Slutsky has no experience outside of Russia so does he have the same abilities as Marco Silva who succeeded (well almost) in three countries.

Other clubs have been linked however so there is no certainty that he will join City.

On the subject of Silva why has he chosen Watford? All that they can achieve is midtable in the Premier league and this club seem to sack managers on a yearly basis so how does he aim to enhance his reputation here? Southampton, Palace or Porto would appear to have been better options if they were all genuinely interested.

“If they hadn’t bottled it again against Sunderland then it may have been a different story altogether” Over the coming weeks we look forward to a new manager, lots of new faces and the departure of stars. If they hadn’t bottled

it again against Sunderland then it may have been a different story altogether. The next few weeks will be vital to the future of Hull City Afc. The club will have some of the smallest crowds in the Championship next year but the funding provided by the summer sales and two years of parachute payments give them a financial advantage over rivals if they care to use it though it also needs mentioning that Steve Bruce and the Allams retained the core of the relegated squad for the clubs immediate promotion in 2016. This is looking increasingly unlikely next season when it could be new management, new squad and gates of around 10,000 except for some of the Yorkshire derbys. Let’s hope things are looking rosier by August and who knows maybe some Russian millionaire may back the club as well as the former Russia manager?

Words by Woody Mellor

After falling at the final hurdles Hull City ended their Premier League season with the shambolic 7-1 home defeat to Spurs which was our worst home defeat ever. If that wasn’t bad enough Marco Silva has already jumped ship and who knows what players will remain come August following the shock departure of Curtis Davies. If Davies has quit for a small buy out clause activated by Derby then everyone is available.

The Last Word

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

By Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband.

Getting a bit fitter Talking about my birthday, this year I received a Fitbit. I always thought they were a bit of a gimmick, but let me tell you it is changing the way I look at everything. I am checking the number of steps I do every day and inputting whatever I eat … and because I don’t want to have to tell it I’ve eaten a cake or a few chocolate biscuits, I’m eating much better! It’s even monitoring how long I sleep and what type of sleep I’m having. It’s basically making me really think before I do something, which I guess is the point! And I’ve set myself a sensible weight loss goal!!

I’ll let you know how it goes!

Hull’s Bee Lady Challenge I was lucky enough to meet Jean Bishop, known to us all as the Bee Lady, as she turned 95 years old in May. In fact we share the same birthday!! As you know she has collected thousands of pounds for charity over the years and this year is no different except that she has issued herself a challenge. As its her 95th year, she wants to raise £95,000 this year alone! She doesn’t think she does anything special but I think with the number of awards she’s received it’s obvious we all think differently! So if you see her around in her bee costume, don’t forget to put a couple of pounds in to help her reach her amazing goal!

Truly inspirational!

Just wondering …..

As we all know, Whitefriargate in Hull City Centre is pronounced locally as Whitefr’gate. Now on the road towards the C4Di building, there is also a road called Blackfriargate. Is this pronounced as it is written or should it be Blackfr’gate? I’ve asked a few people and no-one seems to know, so I’d be interested to hear what you think!

Thanks!
