GCSE celebrations for East Riding students

Many East Riding schools and pupils are celebrating their GCSEs results today, with early indications suggesting secondary schools and academies have maintained the strong position achieved in recent years.

Over the past three years numeric grades have replaced letters for the vast majority of subjects and from next year all subjects will be graded from 1 to 9. A grade 4 is equivalent to the old grade C and classed as a ‘standard pass’. A grade 5 is classed as a ‘strong pass’.

The reformed GCSEs have been deliberately made more difficult, as well as being mostly graded on examinations and not on coursework.

In the East Riding, provisional outcomes indicate that in 2019 the proportion of students

schools from the Department for Education compared to other regions of the county.

This is down to the hard work of young people and their families supported by dedicated school staff, and is a tribute to the way schools and young people have responded to the challenges of reformed GCSE examinations. ” achieving a standard pass or grade 4 or better in English and maths is 67 per cent. The proportion gaining grade 5 (a strong pass) is 45 per cent.

Provisional results suggest East Riding schools achieved an attainment 8 score of 48, similar to last year’s figure. Progress 8 score is the measure used to determine ranking in secondary school league tables, but this year’s figures will not be available from the Department for Education until October 2019.

Julie Abraham, portfolio holder for children, young people and education, said: “We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of young people throughout the East Riding as they receive their GCSE results.

The dedicated professionals working in our schools provide a high quality education for all our young people, and today’s outcomes are the culmination of many years of hard work from students and teachers alike.

“These results have been achieved despite the very low East Riding of Yorkshire Councillor level of funding for East Riding

Jamie O’Brien, the council’s principal improvement adviser, said: “These results are a testament to the hard work of our young people, as well as the dedication and commitment of teachers and support staff in all our schools. We are proud of the accomplishments of young people throughout the East Riding - achieved with the support of their carers and families. We greatly appreciate the hard work of head teachers, teaching and support staff that have contributed to these impressive results.”

Graham Stuart MP: Promoting British trade and investment on the global stage I was delighted to be reappointed Minister for Investment at the Department for International Trade (DIT) recently. As a Yorkshire MP I feel passionately about the role government can play in helping

this country’s businesses thrive in a fast-moving global economy.

My department was set up three years ago with a clear remit; to develop an independent trade

policy for the first time in 40 years, to promote British trade and investment on the global stage and to champion free trade around the world.

Since then, DIT has been busy championing the economic interests of our country’s great regions broad – Yorkshire preeminent among them – and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved so far.

Exports are up. Between April 2016 and March 2019, DIT helped UK businesses export goods and services worth around £99bn. This month will be our 39th consecutive month of export growth. Yorkshire is feeling the benefit – goods exports from Yorkshire and the Humber region to the rest of the world grew by 7.6% in the last financial year to a record high of £18.3bn. The number of exporters in Yorkshire is also at its highest level, rising 22% to 14,500.

The world is full of opportunities for Yorkshire as we leave the EU and, in DIT, we have a dedicated trade department to help them realise it.

Water Leaks: What Are You Covered For Whether it’s running out of your shower or helping you make a cup of coffee, water is an essential part of our day – but when it’s leaking in your home, water can be nothing short of a disaster.

The Association of British Insurers suggests that insurance companies pay out over £1.8m for water-related claims every single day – making it one of the most common significant problems we face as homeowners or tenants.

The trouble is, we tend not to think about water damage until it’s too late – sometimes leaving ourselves liable for any repair costs.

To avoid being out of pocket, it’s important to understand a few water-related terms – along with exactly what your insurance policy covers you for.

‘Escape of water’ vs ‘flooding’

Not all water damage is considered the same by insurance companies, and as such, they usually refer to either “escape of water” or “flooding”. Escape of water is used to describe any situation in which water has leaked from somewhere it shouldn’t - for instance, a washing machine, a blocked toilet, central heating system, frozen and damaged pipes, and so forth.

Flood damage is water that’s entered your home from outside – perhaps from river bursting its banks, a broken water main, or similar.

It’s worth noting that escape of water claims generally don’t automatically include instances where there’s an element of negligence involved – if you’ve accidentally let a bath run over or you’ve drilled into a water pipe while doing some DIY for example.

You should double-check with your insurance provider – but situations like these generally need ‘accidental damage’ cover on top of the basic policy.

Finding the problem

Water can be a tricky customer to deal with. While a damp spot that’s showing on your ceiling might lead

BeverleyMag September 2019

you to believe you know where the problem’s coming from, the evidence of a water leak often shows up a long way from the source of the issue.

As such, a good insurance policy will include cover for ‘Trace and Access’. Trace and Access is the process involved with both finding the leak – and getting into the root of the problem to fix it. Usually, a specialist company with water detection equipment will need to come to your property and spend a little time tracking the leak down.

Without trace and access cover, the process of finding a leak can be a bit of a ‘lucky dip’ that may involve lifting your floor, opening your walls, or digging under gardens and driveways. Because of this, it’s well worth checking to make sure it’s something included in your policy – it has the potential to save you a lot of money and disruption.

Maintaining your home

Insurance policies almost always require a homeowner or tenant to make sure the property is maintained in a way that helps to prevent leaks.

This means, if you have to make a claim for a leak, the company providing your cover may ask to see evidence that your central heating system has been properly maintained, or that any damage done isn’t something you’ve been ignoring for months or years!

Make sure you check for any signs of leaks in your property.

Frequently dropping boiler pressure can often be a sign that there’s something wrong – as can suddenly noticing that your water meter is clocking up more water use than normal. There’s no surefire way to protect yourself from all leaks – but staying alert can be the difference between your insurance company paying out, or the bill hitting your pocket.

The Pros and Cons of Equity Release A lot of people aged over 55 find themselves in the position of owning a property with a soon to be paid off mortgage but little cash to spare.

With retirement on the horizon, many consider releasing equity from their property to free up some money. In fact, almost 39,000 homeowners used Equity Release in 2018 alone.

But should you consider Equity Release and how will such a substantial loan affect your future finances?

What is Equity Release?

Equity Release is a type of loan that is secured against your home.

If you qualify, you can draw a lump sum of money or regular smaller sums, from the value of your home.

A big appeal of Equity Release is that despite the loan being secured against your property, you can still live there.

The amount of equity you can release from your property depends on many factors including: l Your property’s value l How much equity you own in the property l Your age l The amount of income you have or may have for the duration of the loan l Your health l The type of property you live in l Your credit history

BeverleyMag September 2019

How does it work?

When you apply for Equity Release, the lender will arrange for your house to be valued. They’ll want to know how much equity is currently in the property as usually the more equity you own, the higher the amount you can borrow.

Is Equity Release popular?

According to the Equity Release Council, there is a huge demand for Equity Release loans with double the amount of lenders now offering the product since 2016.

In August 2018, 139 Equity Release schemes were available, which is a rapid increase on the 58 schemes offered two years ago.

What can the money from Equity Release be used for?

There are lots of reason as to why a homeowner might take out an Equity Release loan including: l Home improvements l To go travelling l Retirement fund l To help a relative on to the property ladder

Can you use the funds to settle debts?

Some people also take out an Equity Release loan to settle their debts.

This can work out cheaper than paying interest for several loans or debts however, you should always compare the interest for the debts against the interest you will pay for the Equity Release loan.

When do you pay back the loan?

The remaining balance is paid back when you die or move into longterm care. Your house will be valued by an independent surveyor (in case the property value has increased or decreased) and then it will be sold.

Any proceeds of the sale will be used to clear your Equity Release loan and anything left is given to you or inherited by your beneficiaries.

What are the pros of Equity Release? l You can take the money in a lump sum, as drawdown or as a home reversion plan l You don’t have to move l Usually no monthly payments

l Some products will allow you to release more Equity in the future l Releasing cash against your home could allow you to gift money to family, free of inheritance tax What are the cons of Equity Release? l Releasing equity could affect your entitlement to certain benefits l Your property could decrease in value and so after paying back your loan from the sale of our home, you may be left with less money than you thought l Releasing equity from your property will decrease the amount of inheritance you might leave l Any early repayments could result in a penalty charge. l No other loans could be taken out against your home l The interest of the loan can build up quickly and can be expensive.

Check the small print Before signing any contract with a lender, read through the terms of your loan and make sure you understand: l When you are expected to pay the full loan l The rate of interest you will be charged l How the loan could affect any benefits you recieve You should also check that the lender is a member of the Equity Release Council. This will give you some assurance and will also mean that they have a no negative equity guarantee.

This is important as this guarantee ensures that if your loan exceeds the value of your property, that the lender will take this risk and will not ask you to meet the shortfall.

Young Britons believe dream of owning home is over, survey says Santander survey suggests only a quarter of under-34’s could own a home by 2026 One of Britain’s biggest mortgage lenders has found that 70% of young people now believe that the homeownership dream is over for their generation.

Having carried out the largestever survey of potential first-time buyers, Santander said its own figures suggest less than 25% of 18- to 34-year-olds will be in a position to buy a home by the year 2026.

The Spanish-owned bank said that while 91% of the young people interviewed still aspire to own a home, over two-thirds said it was unlikely to happen

unless they received the deposit from their parents. Back in 2006, around half of those under 34 were able to get on the property ladder, the bank said.

The study found that the sharpest fall in first-time buyer homeownership has been among those on middle-incomes – those earning between £20,000 and £30,000 this year. Of the new buyers who had been able to buy, two-thirds reported having household incomes of more than £40,000.

Miguel Sard, managing director of Santander Mortgages, said: “It’s clear that while the aspiration to own a home is just as strong as in previous generations, it’s a dream that is looking increasingly

out of reach. Without change, homeownership in the UK is at risk of becoming the preserve of only the wealthiest young buyers over the next decade. This report should be a wake-up call for industry and the government to think more creatively to keep the homeownership dream alive for the next generation of first-time buyers.”

Sard said the average age of a first-time buyer has increased

BeverleyMag September 2019

from 25 to 33 years old in the last two decades, and 40% have already started a family. As a result, Santander found that the most sought-after first-time buyer property is now a three-bedroom house.

The report, entitled The future of the homeownership dream, also called for the industry and the government to rethink the mortgage market.

House prices fall unexpectedly as pre-Brexit caution bites

Likelihood of no-deal departure holding people back from buying or selling, analysts say UK house prices dropped by more than expected in July with consumers becoming increasingly cautious as Brexit looms.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics) said prices continued to fall last month as the property market showed signs of flatlining amid the rising risks to the economy from a no-deal Brexit.

political uncertainty heighten. “All the key indicators pretty much flatlining,” he said.

Analysts said the increasing likelihood of Britain leaving the EU without a deal this autumn was holding consumers back from buying or selling a home. Retailers have also warned of households reining in their spending on biggerticket items against a backdrop of mounting Brexit risks to the economy.

The Rics house prices balance, which measures the number of estate agents and property surveyors expecting rising prices against those expecting declines, dropped to -9% in July from -1% a month ago. City economists had forecast a reading of -1%.

The latest snapshot from Halifax, published on Wednesday, also suggested that house prices fell in July. Britain’s biggest mortgage lender said the average cost of a home dipped by 0.2% in July after a drop of 0.4% in June.

Simon Rubinsohn, Rics chief economist, said house prices and sales volumes appeared to be losing momentum as Brexit and

House prices remain high relative to incomes, with growing numbers of young adults unable to get on to the property ladder. According to government figures, the number

of people aged between 20 to 34 living with their parents has soared by 24% over the last decade to as many as one-in-four – about 3.4 million people.

The average price of a home in Britain has dropped by almost £600 in the last three months to stand at about £236,120. However, affordability remains stretched – with the cost of a typical home about eight times higher than average wages.

Russell Galley, managing director at Halifax, said there had been a drop in the number of properties being sold. However, new buyer enquiries were rising, as wage growth accelerates and as the Bank of England holds interest rates close to the lowest levels since the financial crisis.

“While economic uncertainty continues to weigh on the market, the overall trend actually remains one of comparative stability,” he said.

Online Dating

Finding true love with ‘no drama’ - takes hard work

Romance, like much else these days, comes with the promise of infinite possibility - but what we think we want isn’t always what’s best!

Apparently, in the dating world, there’s now an epidemic of men specifying partners and relationships with “no drama”. “I understand that people want joy, laughter and happiness in their relationships,” wrote Laura Hilgers, in a New York Times essay on the phenomenon. But the men who use such phrases, she argued, “want something that doesn’t exist: a problem-free partnership with someone who has no life experience. Are they looking for a woman who never gets angry or afraid or sad, who never worries about her family or struggles in her job?”

It’s hard to say, because “drama” is so vague. That makes it a worthy successor to the now rather 70s-sounding “issues”: a label capacious enough to include people with severe personality disorders – whom you might be forgiven for wishing to avoid – but also everyone who has displayed any human emotion other than upbeat good cheer. So, by demanding “no drama”, you get to characterise your fear of difficult emotions as a simple matter of self-care. Of course you don’t want to date somebody with, you know, issues! (To be clear: if drama means emotional or physical abuse, you should definitely avoid it.) On the other hand, good luck finding a fulfilling relationship if you will only consider people with no issues.

If I have sympathy for these drama-

avoidant men, though, I can sum it up in two words: internet dating.

Romance, like much else these days, comes with the promise of infinite possibility: if this particular match doesn’t work out, there are countless fantastic alternatives on standby.

The promise might not be real; maybe none of those astoundingly attractive women would date you.

But it’s the belief that counts – and in this environment, filtering out the prospect of being exposed to someone else’s emotional struggles makes a certain, rather soulless, kind of sense. Why choose a challenging experience if a fun one seems like an option? Sure, the challenging experience may ultimately prove more meaningful, but it’s still a big ask. It’s a mild version of that phenomenon where people have a brush with death, through illness or accident, then say it was the most meaningful experience of their lives. Fair enough – but even so, few of us would choose that path if we thought we could skip it instead.

The problem here is the collision of a timeless truth – that what we think we want isn’t always what’s best for us – with a modern one: the way the “convenience revolution” makes it so easy to get what we think we want.

Convenience plays funny tricks: “I prefer to brew my coffee,” writes the academic Tim Wu, “but Starbucks

Instant is so convenient I hardly ever do what I ‘prefer’.” A decade or two ago, it didn’t matter so much if you couldn’t handle negative emotions in others; if you wanted a relationship at all, you would have to learn to cope. These days, when it takes willpower just to go and meet a friend instead of staying

at home watching Netflix, how much more willpower does it take to voluntarily submit to the risk of difficult feelings? You still should, since it’s the only way to fulfilment.

But like many other things worth doing, it’s getting easier and easier not to do it.

Mr. Perfect doesn’t exist!

The sooner you realise this sad but true fact, the sooner you can get on with finding Mr. Close-EnoughTo-Perfect. Prince Charming, riding on a white stallion, lost his way or found Princess Charming and got married on his way to your castle.

wrong. Ask your girl friends if they have ever used online dating or are using it now. If they are honest with you, most of them have or are now members of at least one online dating site and maybe more than one.

Get over it and get on with it. You ARE going to have to actively seek the man of your dreams and you won’t find him hiding under your bed. You already know that he isn’t among the men that you are acquainted with so, now what?

Online dating is “what“.

It really is the way to go to meet eligible men who want to meet you. It doesn’t matter what any of your numbers are… like age, height, weight or income either.

Somewhere out there in the big wide world there is a man who will like you… ..then love you… .and think that you are beautiful and desirable.

It’s true that online dating, while in its infancy, was only made up of perverts, sexual predators, nerds and weirdoes but that is no longer true. It has become the main tool of the single person in every developed country in the world.

Boys aged 12 to 13 to be given cancer-preventing jab Boys in the UK will be given the HPV jab from September in a bid to wipe out cervical cancer and prevent thousands of cases of other cancers, it has been announced.

Until now, only girls have been given the vaccine, which protects against cervical cancer as well as penile cancer, anal and genital cancers and some cancers of the head and neck.

But from the start of the next school year, boys in Year 8 who are aged 12 and 13 will be given the jab if they have parental consent.

BeverleyMag September 2019

The University of Warwick suggests the vaccine, which protects against the human papilloma virus (HPV), will prevent 64,138 cervical cancers and 49,649 non-cervical cancers in the UK by 2058.

This will include 3,433 cases of penile cancer and 21,395 cases of head and neck cancer, such as throat cancer, in men.

Giving boys the jab also protects girls from HPV, which is passed on through sexual contact.

in girls and reduce the overall burden of these cancers in both men and women in the future.

HPV causes 99 per cent of cervical cancers as well as 90 per cent of anal, about 70 per cent of vaginal and vulvar cancers and more than 60% of penile cancers.

“I encourage all parents of eligible boys and girls to make sure they take up the offer for this potentially life-saving vaccine.

“It’s important not to delay vaccination, as the vaccine may be less effective as adolescents get older.”

Boys will need two doses of the jab for full protection. The first dose will be given in school in Year 8, with a follow-up dose six months to two years later, also given in school.

Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England (PHE), said: “Offering the vaccine to boys will not only protect them but will also prevent more cases of HPV-related cancers

Public health minister Seema Kennedy said: “The success of the HPV vaccine programme for girls is clear and by extending it to boys we will go a step further to help us prevent more cases of HPV-related cancer every year.

Accolades for Educare over investment in childcare

A children’s nursery is earning accolades from the experts for an investment programme which has provided more opportunities for working parents by increasing places for children from babes in arms to 12 years old.

Educare Nursery in Mill Lane, Beverley, added another 20 nursery places with the completion this year of a first-floor extension, taking the total to 110. The nursery was prompted to embark on the project by rising demand from families and from the government – and by the success of its previous investment to double the size of the out of school club.

David Whincup, owner of Educare, said: “The government’s move to increase the provision of free

with opportunities to work, rest and play including laptops, quiet areas and toys and games.

“We also extended the hours because feedback from families indicated that although some schools were setting up their own facilities, they were opening too late and closing too early.”

Educare opens its doors from 7.15am until 6.30pm every weekday except Bank Holidays, with 40 places available in the out of school club before and after school and during holidays and all children looked after by qualified nursery staff.

Councillor David Elvidge pictured working at one of the laptops in the Educare out of school club watched by David Whincup and Graham Stuart MP.

Among the recent visitors was Graham Stuart, the MP for Beverley and Holderness who in 2016 set up the Save East Riding Childcare Campaign to secure a fairer funding settlement for local nurseries.

positive and we are seeing an increase in demand, just as we did when we doubled the size of the out of school club. Not only did we create more space but we added to the facilities, providing children

He said: “It is great to see that Educare has been proactive in making changes that will ensure more children enjoy the benefits of high-quality early education and more parents are relieved of the heavy financial burden of childcare.”

childcare places was a challenge too far for many nurseries but we embraced it by adding the first floor extension.

Six freezer storage tips to help minimise food waste 1. Freeze slices of lemon and lime Many of us buy a whole bag of lemons or limes to make one recipe and those we don’t use are left to languish in the fruit bowl.

remaining cube space with water or with a little olive oil.

Before they go wrinkly and you have to throw them away, cut them into half-moon shapes and pop them in a reusable freezer bag.

When the cubes have frozen fully, you can pop them out of the tray and into a reusable freezer bag and label it with the contents. They should keep for up to 12 months and they’re great for starting off soups, winter roast or stews.

They can then be used to flavour tap water or popped into your gin and tonic to keep it cold.

Basil, dill, sage, mint and thyme all freeze well. Whole chillies freeze well, too, and defrost in no time.

2. Freeze leftover herbs Fresh herbs don’t have a very long shelf-life in the fridge. Before you know it you’ll have bunches of various different types wilting in the salad drawer.

3. Freeze leftover pesto in ice cube trays Unless you want to eat pesto every day of the week, quite often the opened jar will be left slowly going mouldy in the fridge after one use.

So, wash the fresh herbs, pat them dry and chop them into small pieces before popping them into an ice cube tray, then fill the

Roy Woodcock’s

World of Wine It’s often a surprise to many people when I say one of my favourite French regions for wine is the Languedoc. Why? Well for so many years, the sheer scale of vineyard planting was geared up for mass production which led to a reputation for producing very ordinary, nay poor quality, wines.

The Languedoc region is located in the south of France along the Mediterranean Sea. Its borders spread from the south of Toulouse to the city of Montpellier’s suburbs and in total there are 550,000 acres of vineyards, making it not just the largest wine-growing region of France but the largest wine-growing region of the world.

The region is known for its long periods of sunshine, with a lot of wind, and these features enable vines to grow under a relatively low threat from diseases compared with more northerly and wetter regions.

In 2016 it produced 1.2 billion litres of wine.

Behind the ubiquitous Vin de Pays labelling that covered the majority of Languedoc wines lay a mixed bag of results. In the 20th century, very little wine in the region was classified as appellation contrôlée until the 1980s, when a new focus on quality began to emerge.

Perhaps more than anything it was an influx of Australian winemakers in the 1990s that played a significant role in the rising of standards. BRL Hardy (or Hardy’s as it was known)

was leading the Australian charge at the beginning of that country’s inexorable success in export markets, which coincided with demand for French wines around the world slowing down.

Hardy’s bought Domaine de la Baume and in a strange way the presence of a top Australian group was viewed as a seal of approval for local winemakers, just as the presence of Moet and Chandon in Australia had been seen by that country’s sparkling winemakers.

The next few years saw the rise in reputation for Vins de Pays wines, particularly Vins de Pays D’Oc, including those of Domaine de la Baume, which became a commercial success on the UK market against the tide for most other inexpensive French wines.

During this time, there was an internationalisation of grape varieties and wine styles in the south of France and by the time Hardy’s retreated and sold Domaine de la Baume in 2003, Languedoc wines were being viewed in an altogether different light.

Today, the face of LanguedocRoussillon wine has drastically changed. More commercially viable grape varieties have been planted, and names such as St Chinian, Faugères, Corbières, Pic St Loup and Terrasses du Larzac are increasingly known among sommeliers and wine lovers – and the wines are often tipped as good value bets on

restaurant lists.

Tourism has also surged. Long sandy beaches and striking scenery complement the region’s mix of old and new in its cities, such as regional capital Montpellier and also Nimes, Narbonne, Carcassonne and Perpignan.

In terms of grape varieties, Carignan is the workhorse of the Languedoc so far as its red wines go. In the past it never enjoyed a good press because, left to its own devices, it is capable of plethoric yields, and highyielding Carignan is of no interest.

However, pruned back and planted on hillside sites it can be much more interesting. At its best, it produces a wine that is deeply coloured, quite tannic, sappy with brambly fruit.

And I love it.

Grenache produces round-tasting wines, often with low tannin and high alcohol and is rarely to be found on its own except in the fortified reds of Roussillon. Cinsault belongs in the heat of North Africa. In the South of France, it is widely grown and can add fragrance and lightness of touch to big brawny reds, but more often it is made into rosé.

Like Carignan, the native whites are more obviously associated with high production but with careful handling can produce wines of real interest.

There is Maccabeu and Grenache Blanc, grown mostly in Corbières and Roussillon.

Clairette is grown mostly in the east, closer to the Rhône., while Terret is grown extensively around Marsseillan, home of French Vermouth.

Maybe the best of all is the Piquepoul which east of Beziers produces good quaffing dry Picpoul de Pinet. Muscat used to be grown exclusively for Vin Doux Naturel, such as Saint Jean de

Minervois and Rivesaltes, but also produces full-flavoured dry wines of some interest.

The biggest change in the South of France was the introduction of other grape varieties to help boost quality.

For the reds, Syrah was the most obvious import and is now widely planted and is usually part of a blend with Grenache and/or Carignan.

Syrah is at its best where there is a little humidity such as in the east around Pic Saint Loup. Mourvèdre is much more complicated to grow but has a real future in areas close to the sea such as in parts of Fitou and Corbières.

For the whites, Roussanne and Marsanne have also journeyed south from the Rhône to add finesse and flavour to Mediterranean blends. Increasingly, the Corsican Vermentino, also known as Rolle, can be found in blends where it often has a positive influence.

Bordeaux has for long been an important connection for the Languedoc with the Canal du Midi there to prove the link. Not surprisingly, Languedoc producers were quick to introduce Bordeaux varieties in their vineyards. Merlot is the most widely planted and in some years has been very profitably exported in bulk to California or back to Bordeaux.

The later ripening Cabernets are probably better suited to the climate of the south and have great potential.

The wines of the Languedoc are a complex but compelling topic and I’m really only scratching the surface here. But hopefully it will persuade you to look out for some of the grape varieties and locations I’ve mention. It will be well worth the try.

Hard Facts: Nuts Ideal energy booster or stealth waist widener?

Here’s all you need to know about nuts Are nuts the health hero we think?

According to dietitian Dr Carrie Ruxton, “Absolutely! They are rich in protein, unsaturated fats (the best ones for heart health), fibre, and a host of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin E, magnesium, calcium, selenium and folate.” Some are better than others for particular health issues but, whichever your preference, definitely put them on your weekly shopping list.

And don’t worry that they’ll make you pile on the pounds – that’s a complete fallacy. “Quite the opposite,” explains Dr Carrie. “They can help to control body weight as they boost satiety – that feeling of fullness after eating.” Studies show that eating nuts daily, as part of a Mediterranean diet, won’t influence body weight at all.

How many should we have per day?

One handful – around 25-40 grams – is enough to deliver nutritional and health benefits without breaking the calorie bank.

FOR HEART HEALTH Walnuts are best. According to research, walnuts help our blood vessels to be more elastic, which is thought to help control blood pressure.

FOR BRAIN HEALTH Peanuts or pistachios. A study that measured brainwave frequencies found that pistachios could be good for learning and memory,

BeverleyMag September 2019

THE LOW FAT OPTION By far the nut with the lowest fat and calories, chestnuts are rich in starchy carbs and fibre, and in their raw formare a good source of vitamin C. They’re lower in protein than other nuts but offer a useful amount of B vitamins, including B6.

Ground chestnut flour can be used as a gluten-free flour for cakes and bakes, or buy fresh and roast for a tasty snack.

Four healing super snacks

while peanuts (strictly a legume, not a nut) were better for deep sleep. A new study has found that eating these nuts on a regular basis strengthens brainwave frequencies associated with cognition, healing, learning, memory and other key brain functions.

FOR CUTTING BELLY FAT Almonds are best. A study in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that eating a daily handful of almonds, instead of a high-carbohydrate snack with equal calories, helped reduce fat in the belly area and significantly improved cholesterol levels.

FOR LOWERING YOUR RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES All kinds of tree nuts are associated with a lower risk of metabolic syndrome (sometimes called prediabetes), according to a large US survey, so take your pick fromthe ones you like best, such as pecans, almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pistachios, pine nuts, shea nuts or walnuts.

DETOX WITH BRAZIL NUTS Just one or two Brazil nuts provide more than your daily dose of selenium, a trace element that’s crucial for liver health.

EASE INFLAMMATION WITH WALNUTS A 2014 review in the Journal of Nutrition found that the antioxidant polyphenolic compounds in walnuts can reduce harmful inflammation in brain cells, potentially lowering the risk of cognitive decline. Add to yogurt or cereal for a daily dose.

HEAL WOUNDS WITH CASHEWS Cashews contain high levels of zinc, which is vital for wound healing.

Try roasting cashews with paprika for a healthy snack. One serving is the equivalent of 16 nuts.

BEAT MIGRAINES WITH ALMONDS Having low levels of magnesium – abundant in almonds – has been linked to migraines. Eat 28 grams of dry roasted almonds daily.

Maa Indian Restaurant expands in to Hornsea Maa, the popular Indian Restaurant located at 6 Ladygate, Beverley has just opened a second restaurant in Hornsea. BeverleyMag asked owner Mohammed Saif (pictured far right) about the factors that prompted his expansion, he replied: “We have a large number of regular customers who travel in to Beverley in search of authentic Indian cuisine from the greater Hornsea area. I thought that if the right premises came up I would give it a go. Surprisingly the

new restaurant has also attracted alot of my local Beverley customers over too. They are telling me that they love an evening walk along the sea front then a relaxing meal in the new restaurant afterwards.”

Beauty Box When we smell something,

information is passed around the brain by our limbic system, which plays a major role in controlling mood, memory, behaviour and emotion (bear with me). This primitive part of the brain is so powerful for evoking memories, and for me, the aroma of coconut takes some beating. It takes me back to sunny holidays, pina coladas and Malibu sunscreen. But coconut isn’t just a heavenly scent, it’s also an incredible superfood for health and beauty. It promotes hydration with antioxidant properties, is super-nourishing for skin and can even offer natural protection to the hair from the sun.

I keep a big jar of organic, virgin coconut oil at home, and use it for a multitude of things. It goes on damp skin to nourish and moisturise, through the ends of my hair, I cook with it, and even pop a blob on to my dog’s nose to keep it soft! But aside from taking it straight from the source, there are tonnes of products packing this hydration hero, and one of my favourites has to be the Too Faced Hangover range. New to the collection are a number of skincare items, including the Hangover Good to Go (£27, Debenhams), a

lightweight moisturiser with SPF25.

Enriched with coconut water, it hydrates as it protects. The Good in Bed Hydrating Serum (£29, Debenhams) is a fast-absorbing formula for plumping and reviving skin, and finally the Major Hangover (£40, Debenhams) is a supersized version of the classic Hangover primer, which smells good enough to eat and gives life to tired skin, while providing the perfect base for make-up.

Also in skincare, Time Bomb Peace & Quiet Coconut Cleansing Oil (£25, timebombco.com) is a beautiful option for melting away make-up and dirt and leaving skin supple.

The Hand-to-Hand Combat Cream (£15) is fab for keeping hardworking hands nourished and smelling as good as a Bounty bar.

A superinteresting product, well worth opting for if you’re feeling flush or looking to indulge, is

Algenist Power Recharging Night Pressed Serum (£68, space.nk).

Enhanced with alguronic acid for its anti-ageing properties and algae rotein, with nutrient-rich coconut water, this blend aims to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and energises tired skin.

For the bod, Dr. Bronner’s Lavender Coconut Organic Hand & Body Lotion (£10.49, drbronner.co.uk) is an organic, fair trade and vegan lotion including jojoba oil to heal and soothe, and coconut, hemp and avocado oils to keep skin smooth and supple; it comes in a handy pump bottle.

Nivea’s new Body Soufflé Coconut & Monoi Oil (£7.99, Boots) pairs a tropical coconut scent with luxurious monoi oil which is

Pick of the Month I’m a big fan of an ‘everything balm’, and Africology Coconut & Pineapple Balm (£30,uk.africologyspa.com) had everyone in my office cooing over the luxuriously tropical scent.

Dab this onto elbows, cuticles and the ends of your hair – shut your eyes and think of the beach!

quickly absorbed into skin with no greasy feeling. For tan fans, Leighton Denny Sun Believable Cream Me (£16, ld-boutique.com) is a total secret weapon for perfecting your base and avoiding streaks.

Harnessing the hydrating properties of the mighty coconut, this sweetlyscented lotion helps moisturise dry areas before applying tan.

If you need to shed hairs before this, Nair can help, with Coconut Wax Strips (£6.99, Superdrug) which – if you’re brave enough – are ideal for sensitive skin!

WHY IS VINTAGE FASHION SO POPULAR? As Beverley Minster once again prepares to open its doors to its very popular and successful fund raising event - the Vintage & Retro Fair we ask the question why is vintage so popular..

Vintage is everywhere. When you think about it; that’s rather a silly statement. Of course, vintage is everywhere – as soon as something’s been around for

a while it effectively becomes ‘vintage’, being replaced by something newer that’s the latest flavour of the month. By definition then, vintage is everywhere – so let’s embrace it!

Amongst other factors, the current economic climate appears to have contributed to the trend of acquiring and reusing vintage clothing, accessories, and homeware products, particularly with young consumers. The popularity of vintage has also been linked to a change in consumer attitudes towards wearing and utilising second-hand goods. In addition to a change in attitudes, other factors that contribute to the growth of the vintage trend include a change in values, the inclusion of vintage inspirations used in current designs by fashion designers, and in the trends marketed by the forecasting sector, eco-sustainability, the media, and technology. Also vintage consumers and vintage retailers appear to share the viewpoint of the movement towards vintage fashion that has been assisted by a reaction against mass-produced fast fashion, as consumers strive

for more individuality in their styling and garments. Eco-fashion and sustainable fashion ideals have emerged as solutions to the environmental issues that are currently inherent in the industry’s manufacturing processes, which have government and pressure group support. This ideal and practice complements the vintage trend phenomenon.

The celebrity factor Like or not, in the past few years, the renaissance of vintage may in part be attributable to the fact so many celebrities have been photographed and appear in newspapers and magazines and on the Internet happily wearing vintage in public. This, in many people’s minds then, has helped underline the reality there’s no barrier at all to wearing vintage and looking entirely with-it and modern – and with that, using vintage clothes to help carve out and express one’s own style and individual dress sense.

And tied to this is the fact that, increasingly, people may be coming to the conclusion – inevitably then (to explain the above point), celebrities among them – that modern, up-to-theminute high-street fashion is becoming rather generic, a little too homogenous. To wear a good deal of today’s new fashion is too often to look like everyone else. By contrast, when worn with care and imagination, vintage fashion – or newly made retro fashion – can transcend time; if it was smartly worn back in the day and looked cool, elegant, beautiful or simply sensational, why on earth wouldn’t it now? After all, trends on the catwalk and (supposedly) new fashion in the high-street outlets are forever influenced by past trends – what goes around comes around. And that means, conversely perhaps, that one never looks more on-trend than when subtly wearing vintage or retro.

BeverleyMag September 2019

Self-expression Maybe most of all, though, vintage/ retro is enjoying an undeniable time in the sun right now because it’s an enabler - it ensures its enthusiasts can be enthusiasts of themselves; that is, of their own sense of style and fashion and how they wish to be seen - how they want to present themselves to the outside world and what about their own personalities they want to share through how they dress. It can be - flying in the face of homogenous high-street garments - about self-expression.

And, through that, about liberation and free-styling.

Many people turn to and develop an interest in vintage/ retro through seeking out or, by accident rather than design, discovering that one piece that they have to have, which becomes that favourite in their wardrobe they constantly pull out and mix and match with so many other things.

That, of course, is wonderful, but it can lead them further into the wide world of vintage fairs, shops and online sellers; it can become a door that opens them up to all the possibilities out there.

ALEX: I love music .. all kinds of music, from the 60’s ‘til now. I don’t think I realised at first how much pressure broadcasting would be.

Dave Fewster’s been a great friend from the start. He gave me the opportunities to learn and get on-air experience. In fact I was lucky to have my own show from day one.

You never know that you could read someone’s mind and how many people are listening to you tell what they were thinking. I got involved and who they are. You’ve got to try in the local Young Magicians Club for a few

years and then the national young magicians part of the Magic Circle (I was too young to be in the BIG Magic Circle) I used to perform at parties and weddings and sometimes on stage.

Hull City Column - by Woody Mellor

Work In Progress

There has been cautious optimism at the beginning of the season.

Everyone had Hull City down for relegation following the departure of Nigel Adkins and several big name players such as Frazier Campbell but the signing of ten new players and retention of Grosicki and Bowen has brought a cautious optimism for the season ahead. Maybe these new signings can develop into Championship standard players and a mid-table position can be retained especially with the goals of Bowen and Grosicki to help them win a few games before the January transfer window.

So far they have lost twice, defeated Reading , played very well in a 1-1 draw at Brentford and defeated Tranmere 3-0 with the reserve team in the League cup game. They are still adapting to McCanns all action style and one thing very noticeable is that they run out of energy during the second half. Two goals went past Reading in the first half but it was just a case of holding

out after the break, they ran out of ideas in the second half against Blackburn and it was even the case at Tranmere. It’s all hell for leather at the beginning and chances galore then after a while they tire or the opposition have weathered the storm and come back into the game. It is only four games into the season however and the players are still adapting. At Brentford they were a match for the highly rated promotion contenders throughout the game so it is coming together, last season Brentford put five past them. I think though they like City have had major squad changes although Brentford have spent upwards one £20 million on newcomers compared to City’s £1 million.

It has been surprising that City still retain their three major assets, Bowen, Grosicki and Henriksen.

Even though they have been asking £15 - £20 million for Bowen you half expected him leaving for

goes

Black and Amber

£10million on transfer day. Maybe Premier league scouts don’t rate him so highly and interestingly most of the previous big spenders in the Championship like Derby, Leeds and Middlesborough have all appeared to run out of money.

The days of clubs spending millions chasing the Premier League gravy train may be over, club owners cannot finance this any longer and finance rules are coming into play where Leeds had to sell off some players to avoid over reaching regulations for instance. Bowen can develop another season rather than end up in the Premier League shadows like Josh Tymon who got nowhere at Stoke and is now at some obscure foreign team on loan for the season. He should have just stayed here another couple of years rather than chasing the Premier League dream and wages.

gets his salary off the wage bill.

The Markus Henriksen situation is more of a concern. The Club had offers for him in January so they used their clause to retain him a further season just to ensure he did not walk away for free in June.

They were willing to pay £100,000 a month for a few extra weeks if it meant a pay day of £3 - 4 million but with a week to go no one has made a suitable offer and it looks like they will have to accept a pittance on deadline day or leave him in complete limbo for the season. McCann has stripped him of the captaincy and pretty much told him that he won’t get into the new team, especially after bringing in players to replace him. Something will happen in the next week but knowing City he’ll go for little more than the money spent on wages the last two or three months.

Kamil Grosicki remains here at least at the moment. There is always the chance a last minute offer comes in from Turkey or elsewhere before the European window closes at the end of the month. It would be hard to replace him but you never know what may happen and if it’s

It is still a learning curve for the newcomers but on face value City have signed a number of unproven, young yet hungry new players. They could have signed championship journeymen who may have had experience but lack the desire of the signings made.

The newcomers will take time to adapt so it may take a few more weeks before we see the best of Tom Eaves for instance. Eaves ran down his contract at Gillingham to gain a Bosman deal and would have been valued at a couple of million going by some of the values elsewhere. On the subject of young players it is also refreshing that the club are sending out several players to the lower leagues to gain experience rather than stagnating in the Under 23s. Jacob Greaves is already making a name for himself and maybe we will see the see of 1990s stalwart Mark Greaves in the coming years.

Hull City Official Supporters Club are delighted to be working with ASK Italian in Beverley to bring what promises to be an

Why do some people crave adventure holidays? Is there an “Explorer” gene?

A study by TV Channel, Dave, says that the human drive to explore may well be driven (at least in big part) by our DNA. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, trekking to Machu Picchu and rafting the Grand Canyon are firm favourites for those looking for adrenaline-fuelled adventures.

So, what makes someone want to undertake these kind of adventures?

It turns out, according to a new study by TV channel Dave, that our appetite for adventure, risk and exploring is influenced by in part by our DNA. Over eight in ten (84%) British adults under 40 choose experiences and adventures over traditional ‘fly-and-flop’ holidays and almost nine in ten (88%) now identify themselves as ‘adven-tourists’ and half Brits surveyed want to spice up their adventure with a little danger.

Statistical research carried out

by Dr Geoff Ellis of 50 of Britain’s greatest ever explorers, including Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Francis Drake, Ellen MacArthur and Mark Kingsley, examined shared characteristics and traits of adventurers through history.

Nine in ten (90%) Brits surveyed said that they think people are naturally born with an ‘Explorer Gene’.

BeverleyMag September 2019

and George Vancouver (youngest of six) Adventure trumps education Explorers often have an interrupted education with 30% leaving University or school choosing instead to seek adventure in the wide world

So what do those said to have the ‘Explorer Gene’ have in common?: It’s written in the stars Explorers are most likely to be Aquarius, with Aries as the least common birth sign. Air signs (Aquarius, Libra and Gemini) were found to be the most likely to be adventurous.

Famous Aquarian explorers include Sir Walter Raleigh, Freya Starke, Ernest Shackleton and Henry Morton Stanley, whilst famous Librans include John BlashfordSnell, Isabella Bird and Mary Kingsley and Geminis include George Mallory and Robert Falcon Scott Born in the countryside People born in the countryside have been found to be more daring – 56% of famous British explorers hail from rural locations with 14% born in the county of Devon alone.

Examples of explorers born in rural locations include; Alexander McKenzie (born in Stornaway,

Scotland), Captain James Cook (born in Marton-in-Cleveland, North East England), Robert Falcon Scott, Percy Harrison Fawcett (both born in Devon), Gertrude Bell (born in Washington Co Durham) and Ellen McArthur (born in Whatstandwell, Derbyshire).

At least thirty years old 30+ years has been found to be the best time to find fame as an adventurer as 80% of the British explorers undertook their most infamous expedition before the age of 40 with 46% completing their most well-known voyage between the ages of 30 and 39.

First born or the youngest but rarely the middle child Middle children are the least likely to become explorers or be adventures. Firstborns or youngest children were found to be three times more likely to undertake adventurous paths in later life.

Examples of eldest children who grew up to become voyagers include Sir Francis Drake (eldest of 12 children), Marry Moffat Liningstone (eldest of 10), Gertrude Bell (eldest of 5) and Charles Stuart (eldest of 13 children), and youngest children include Sir Walter Raleigh (youngest of five)

Physical attributes Explorer Steve Backshall – presenter of TV show Expedition.

Adventures are most likely to have dark hair and the average height of male explorers is over 3.5” inches higher than that of the population in general.

Ranulph Fiennes and Benedict Allen are both 6ft 4”, and historically Sir Walter Raleigh and Admiral Sir John Hawkins were 6ft, at a time when this would have been considered an exceptional height.

Hipsters will be pleased to note that over half (57%) of the explorers studied sported some form of facial hair.

Luxembourg...

Our latest tour visited this small country bordered by it’s larger neighbours Belgium, France and Germany. On route we enjoyed a stop in the Belguim town of Spa who are most miffed that the word “spa” is not owned by them. Over a 5th of the population are involved in the Spa water factory. A few of our party also took the waters.

India We enjoyed a varied itinerary throughout the tour including a visit to the City of Luxembourg. Luxembourg is quite unique it still has a Grand Ducal Family headed by the Grand Duke and the throne of the Grand Duchy is hereditary. The Palace is located in the city and we were able to include a tour. It really was super and a privilege to see inside. If you are able, do take a look at the lovely photos on the internet as photography was not allowed, Outside of the city there are vast areas of green space, empty roads, small towns and villages dotted with vinyards and castles.

Another of our highlights was the wine festival in the super little village of Machtum. Arriving un announced we were made very welcome they even found a space for parking our coach. We all trooped into the village square picking up a wine glass for 8 Euros at the entrance plus a wine card listing the 40 wines we were free to try.

It was worth taking a moment to visit the church, I had never seen a feast of wine so great decorating an altar.

We also enjoyed the crowning of the incoming Wine Queen being crowned and enjoyed a one off wine out of a special barrel produced just for the event.

We spent a day touring the area known as Little Switzerland driving through stunning scenery with gorges and waterfalls.

We spent time in the Unesco town of Echternach with its beautiful Abbey. Saint Willibord, originally from Northumberland rests here. The town in situated on the River Sure and once over the bridge you are in Germany’s Echterbruck.

Ending our day in the town of Diekirch home of Luxembourg’s beer, a super war museum and offering us retail therapy.

We also visited Shengen and the museum there was interesting and certainly helped me understand the concept of the unifications of the countries that joined together.

Our hotel in the town of Vianden offered views of the towns stunning castle and walks alongside the River Our. Food, service and comfort were good and I am sure we will return again.

It is an easy drive to Luxembourg around 250 miles from Rotterdam. If taking to the open road appeals to you why not try a self drive holiday? We can tailor make this via North Sea Ferries to your requirements. Flying to Luxembourg is also an option. Once you are there you can easily hop around on public transport.

Bygone Beverley - In association with the East Riding Archive

THE FEARSOME FEWSON

It is probably safe to say that just about every child who has ever attended school will have encountered a teacher whom they feared. Many of us have experienced the familiar dread and nervous anticipation as we await the arrival of a formidable teacher in the classroom before the start of a lesson, wondering about what he or she might have in store for us.

But let’s face it, we have it easy today, when compared with the schools of yesteryear. Before the Education Act of 1870, teachers in England were free to rule over their schools in whatever manner they saw fit - there was no such thing as an ‘Ofsted inspector’ in those days. This allowed some teachers to exhibit slightly more ‘eccentric’ behaviour than would be considered normal today, and they could exact ‘cruel’ and ‘unusual’ punishments on their pupils that would shock and appal any right-thinking individual in today’s society.

A notebook, donated to the East Riding Archives, illustrates this in great detail, with anecdotes of former pupils about a notorious schoolmaster, named Richard ‘Dicky’ Fewson, who educated the children of Long Riston and its environs between the 1820s and 1870s. The notebook describes a variety of novel and inventive punishments that Dicky would use on an unruly pupil, including ‘The Basket’, in which the child was hauled up to the roof by ropes and suspended there in a basket at the master’s discretion; ‘Nose i’ hole’, where the offending scholars had to place their nose in a hole that had been bored into the bench, and await a clouting from Fewson; and ‘Potato Scuttles’, which consisted of a rope being passed over a roof beam, and having two scuttles fastened to either end. A boy was put in each scuttle, and they balanced each other. Neither would dare to move for fear of breaking the rope.

Fewson’s behaviour as a teacher would rightly be condemned nowadays, but interestingly, the notebook reveals that Dicky was highly respected by his pupils and the wider community, and he was well known for producing good scholars, with a high standard of academic ability. The notebook reveals that, in his own rather eccentric way, he cared about the education of his schoolchildren.

BeverleyMag September 2019

With this in mind, we should remember that Fewson was a product of schooling in the Victorian period, and his harsh teaching methods were considered more acceptable at that time. Judge for yourself about Dicky Fewson by reading the notebook in our Research Room at the Treasure House, Champney Road.

Helpful Tips to Avoid Back Pain While Gardening This Summer Gardening presents a relaxing hobby for many, although it is important to follow specific techniques to avoid back strain and low back pain while gardening. Here are a few strategies to help maintain a healthy back while enjoying the great outdoors: DIGGING Digging is a critical gardening movement that requires the right tools to get the job done safely and efficiently. Make sure you have a shovel with sharp edges to reduce the amount of force needed to scoop the dirt. The handle of the shovel should also be long enough to avoid excessive bending.

Maintain good posture while using a shovel, and if you find yourself using too much pressure, try to wet the soil to loosen it up. Don’t twist too much when dumping out the soil, but rather move a few steps to get to the dumping ground.

posture while using a lawn mower as poor technique can lead to increase strain, and in turn, low back pain. Also pay attention to your arm position. Proper form allows a slight bend at the elbow with the handle at a comfortable level (not too high or low).

WEEDING Weeding often requires prolonged sitting or bending over. To avoid excessive bending, it is recommended that you use a stool (a simple low stool will often do the trick) to sit on, which will reduce the amount of pressure put on your low back. This is also a useful technique if one has knee and/or hip pain.

2. Planting perennial flowers and plants is a great way to avoid additional time in the garden every season.

LIFTING Prolonged lifting of heavy bags of soil and mulch can take a toll on your back. One rule of thumb is to always use your hips to lift up, as these muscles are typically much stronger than your low back muscles. Furthermore, bend at the

Comfrey for healing

Gardening

My back is a little broken. I blame it on a bag of compost, although my chiropractor blames it on all the tapping I do at the computer.

If I’m to harvest potatoes and plant pumpkins, I need a plan of action, a multipronged, throw everythingat-it approach: chiropractor, shiatsu massage, if necessary, painkillers – and comfrey.

Comfrey may not be an obvious choice, but it has always been such a kind plant to the garden that it should come as no surprise that is kind to the body, too. Once known as knitbone, Symphytum officinale has a long history of wound healing, particularly broken bones, torn muscles, sprains and aches. It was even applied internally, although many herbalists are cautious of using it this way because it contains powerful pyrrolizidine alkaloids that can cause liver damage and abdominal distress. However, only slight absorption occurs with external application. As such, a compress or poultice is considered more suitable for home use.

Part of comfrey’s magic is down to the presence of allantoin, a chemical that stimulates cell production and thus supports wound-healing. I have read that it was even used in the same way for plants: if a branch was damaged or a graft needed to be hurried along, a wrapping of comfrey was called for to do its wonders.

Its other use, of course, is as a plant food. For every 1kg of leaves, you need 15 litres of water, but it doesn’t need to be precise. Cut the

leaves 5cm from the ground, fill a container, add the water and wait four weeks. Then use this liquid on any plant that needs nourishment: once a week for tomatoes, chillies, aubergines, cucumbers, and other fruit in pots once the flowers appear; every other week for other crops in pots and whenever anything in the ground needs a little boost. The leaves are rich in nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous because comfrey’s extensive tap root can mine all the good stuff deep in the soil.

Its vigour means it will self-seed with abandon. However, the variety Bocking 14 has been bred to have a higher nutrient content than wild comfrey and produces little seed, so it won’t spread around.

Those deep roots mean it is a pain to remove, so make sure you site it well. A mature plant will grow to at least a metre tall and the same again in width. You will need at least two plants, approximately 60cm apart. It does best in part shade, and mulching with grass clippings, compost or manure will mean a greater show of leaves.

Top tips to save water in your Garden Whether you want to save some money, you have limited access to water or you just want to be environmentally friendly, it is a great idea to cut back on the amount of water you use in the garden. Although gardens will always need a lot of watering, there are some simple ways to ensure you are not wasting water whilst still making sure your garden and flowers are healthy.

Here are some of our top tips: Carefully pick your pots and containers Different materials heat up at different rates which impacts how quickly plants can become dry.

Metal pots heat up really quickly so will need more water. Clay pots lose a lot of moisture because the material is porous. Going for a glazed ceramic pot is the most popular choice and retains water well. If you really want to use other pots, you could have a less porous pot to put the plant in, and then use a metal pot as decorative only.

Choose the time of day you water plants carefully It is surprising what a dramatic difference the time of day you water plants can make. Avoid watering your plants and garden during the middle of the day. This is when the sun is at its strongest so the water will evaporate quickly and can even scorch the plants. Water your plants and garden either early morning, or later on in the afternoon.

Take care of your soil Don’t just check the surface of the

soil to see if its damp. Look a bit deeper down into the soil to feel if its still damp. If it is then you know you don’t have to water it again straight away. To help soil retain moisture, adding a layer of organic matter or mulch is a great option as it helps absorb and retain the water that the plants can then access.

Add a layer of compost to your flower beds to hold more water, nutrients and help with the overall health of the soil.

Choose your plants carefully The perfect plants for your garden will depend on many factors. One is the type of soil you have; another is the climate. If you live somewhere with a hot climate, you need to choose plants that are less water dependent, otherwise you will have to use a lot of additional water in order to help them survive. Planting a variety of flowers and foliage of different species and sizes will help you achieve a lovely display but also will mean that some plants will not require as much water. Smaller plants for example, do not require as much. Also try and go for plants

that are native species. These plants are used to the local climate and therefore can be easier to maintain.

Tip #5: Reuse and store water There are many ways to can use water in your garden which otherwise would go to waste.

• Install a water tank - The runoff water from roofs will get stored here until you want to use it on the garden. They come in a range of styles and designs which means that you can find one that fits in any sized garden.

• Reuse “grey water”- Water from your baths and showers can be reused. You can buy grey water diverters that can help you do this.

Also use water from cooking or washing dishes etc. Your plants and grass will not be damaged by soapy water. However, avoid water that has been in contact with bleach and other harsh chemicals.

Stop overwatering A lot of us, whether we realise it or not, are actually overwatering our plants. Not only is this wasting water which is a precious resource, it is also giving us more work to do.

It can cause damage to your plants as it makes the soil lose some of its nutrients, and it can cause loss of oxygen in the soil which can lead to root rot. It also means that the plants get dependent on a higher

amount of watering. When you go on holiday, you therefore are more likely to come back to unhealthy plants as they have relied on the extra water.

Don’t cut your lawn too short Try and maintain your grass at a slightly longer length the next time you mow it. This will create deeper root systems which gives them more access to underground water and keeps it healthy in the long run. Also ensure your lawn mower blades are always kept sharp. It they are dull it causes more water loss.

Control weeds Remove weeds as often as you can.

These dominant plants will steal water from the plants you actually want growing in your garden.

Check the weather This is a simple thing to do, but is easy to forget, especially if you have a set routine of when you water your garden. It is common to water the plants in the morning, only for it to tip it down soon after.

Checking the weather for the day will help you save both time and water. If you know you are going to get a long period of sun, ensure you water more in preparation in case there are hosepipe restrictions put in place.

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

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

APRONS AT THE READY….!

Yay! The Great British Bake Off is back on our screens so it’s time for everyone to dust off their aprons and start making lots of lovely baked goodies! Don’t worry if you’re a novice. I love to bake but I’m not particularly good at anything fancy. Chocolate chip cookies, chocolate cake, lemon drizzle and banana loaf are my go-to favourites – very simple and extremely scrummy!

Baking is also a great way to relax – put the radio on and chill out! It’s also much cheaper than buying biscuits and cakes at the shops. And the house smells divine! What’s not to love?!

BREAKFAST PANCAKES

Staying on the same theme, here’s a little tip if your children like pancakes for breakfast. Make a double or triple batch of batter in the evening, pour it into an empty milk bottle and stick it in the fridge. It’ll take a little bit of stress out of your mornings because you won’t have to start measuring out flour when you’re running late!

WHERE DID THE SUMMER GO?

Oh my goodness, I feel like I blinked and it was over! So we’re now back to normal, back to school and back to nagging the children to do their homework! And before you know it, it’ll be Christmas! I need to start my plan of action so it’s not too much of a shock to my bank account when December comes around!

Could this be the year that I am super prepared by the end of November? Ha! Are you like me? Do you always have great intentions but they never quite seem to pan out? But we keep trying every year, regardless!

Maybe we’ll surprise ourselves this year! I’ll let you know how I get on!
