MP Graham Stuart: Education Update

Events taking place, or not taking place, down in Westminster have been filling up the headlines in the last few weeks, with the Supreme Court ruling on whether the Prime Minister was right to suspend Parliament.

for schools to have as many unbranded items as possible to help families living in poverty and I’ll be writing to local schools to encourage them to keep their costs as low as possible.

But lost in among all this ‘high politics’, I think, was the fantastic news that came as a result of the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s Spending Review. Schools across the country are being given an £14 billion boost to deliver the best possible educational outcomes for children.

class. A good education sets the next generation to make the most of their lives and although it is now a bit of a cliché, I am a strong believer in providing equality of opportunity so that no matter where a child goes to school, they are given the top-class teaching that they deserve.

All of this will go straight into schools, because we’re also meeting the £4.5 billion needed for teachers’ pensions from outside the education budget – a budget that will stand at over £52 billion in 2022.

Each child only gets one chance at an education which is why it’s so important that we make it world-

As Chair of the Education Select Committee I was determined to get schools to raise their standards, and as the former parliamentary lead of the national f40 campaign that represented the worst-funded local authorities in the country, I championed the introduction of a fairer funding system.

Because of this, schools in Beverley and Holderness which have been historically underfunded, will be prioritised and see much greater benefits than when funding was allocated based on politically motivated decisions.

I recognise it’s not just schools who need help with costs, but parents too. No parent or child should be discouraged from applying for a school because of the cost of a uniform, and the Government has put in place statutory guidance instructing schools to ensure that this isn’t the case.

Away from funding, schools should be a place where children are inspired, which is why I launched the cross-party Primary Futures campaign. I believe that children’s aspirations are formed at a young age, so Primary Futures helps to inspire children by connecting primary schools with local role models from CEOs to zoologists.

We’ve had a fantastic response from schools and volunteers so far and I’ll be encouraging more schools in Beverley and Holderness to get involved.

You can contact me at: grahamstuartmp@parliament.uk or by writing a letter to: Office of Graham Stuart MP, 9 Cross Street, Beverley, HU17 9AX T: 01482 679684

Car Servicing Engine Diagnostics MOT Testing Air Conditioning inc. the latest 1234Y Gas 4 Wheel Alignment Batteries Tyres & Exhausts

Established in 1979, Bob Trice Mechanics takes pride in providing expert services for drivers, at affordable prices. At our garage in Beverley, East Yorkshire, our mechanics appreciate that taking your car to an official dealer is a costly way of keeping it in working order. Using our own expertise and the very latest diagnostic equipment, we’re able to offer an equally professional service for a fraction of the cost. From MOT testing to general repairs, our services offer unbeatable value.

Bob Trice Mechanics go the extra mile by offering a Local Collection and Delivery Service for customers who find it difficult to fit in vehicle servicing and repairs. He offers loan vehicles* to keep you on the road.

Manual and automatic are available. (*Admin Fee applies).

There are not many differences between main dealer and an independent, apart from the £££ and our coffee comes from the kettle rather than a machine, not forgetting that you can liaise direct with the mechanic working on your vehicle; which we think offers a more personal service. We also have free Wi-Fi.

Land Rover Specialist!!! What is a specialist? Does that mean we are only knowledgeable on our speciality?

No we work on all vehicles. It simply means that we have long standing staff who have extra experience along with knowledge with this manufacturer.

This wealth of information is also passed onto our apprentices. As modern cars become ever more technologically advanced so are we! there’s little you can do without the diagnostic equipment, We have this equipment to interrogate these cars’ computer-controlled brains (known as ECU).

Land Rovers need specialist care to maintain the complicated electronics and off road systems to keep them in first class condition. The older a car becomes, the more important it is to have it looked after to keep it performing at its best. As the owner of a Land Rover you’ll naturally want the reassurance of knowing that it’s in good hands.

In choosing a specialist, you will be offered greater attention to fine detail, specialist tooling and diagnostic equipment, and extensive knowledge developed over years of genuine interest in Land Rovers. Be sure to book your car in for a service and enjoy the true benefit of hands on experience and dedication.

Can we keep your Land Rover online service history up to date like a main dealer?

Yes if your vehicle has an online Land Rover history we can update with your current service details, if not don’t worry your invoice is proof of service and does not affect your main dealer warranty.

“Block Exemption Regulation”?

The Block Exemption Regulation is a European Commission law meaning that motorists can have their vehicle serviced or repaired in any chosen workshop without invalidating their manufacturer’s warranty. This ended the manufacturer and franchised dealer monopoly of specialist diagnostic equipment and workshops no longer have to use vehicle manufacturer OE parts to ensure a vehicle maintains its warranty.

Cost of moving home rises 2% to a record high, new data shows The cost of moving home in the UK has reached a new record with an average of £10,414 up 2% compared to 2018, new research has found.

Higher stamp duty bills, up 4% and a 5% increase in conveyancing fees are driving up the costs, according to the annual report from home mover comparison website Really Moving.

It shows that stamp duty now makes up almost half, some 44% of the total cost of a home move, rising to 65% in London. Those buying and selling, now pay on average £4,625 in stamp duty, based on the median property value, while conveyancing costs stand at £1,490 including Land Registry fees.

Although varying significantly depending on the distance of the move and the volume of possessions transported, removals charges have also increased by 1% over the last year to £480 on average.

The cost of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) remains unchanged at £55, but other expenses have dipped slightly over the last year, such as a Homebuyers Report which now costs £408, a fall of 4%, and estate agent fees at £3,356, down 1%.

The report suggests that suppliers are competing for business in a contracted market that has seen transaction levels fall 12.4% year on year.

BeverleyMag October 2019

Home movers in London face the greatest cost of moving, with the upfront costs associated with buying and selling a home in the capital now at £24,585, almost 2.5 times the UK average. With property prices in London following a downward trajectory in 2019, home owners are finding it harder to fund a move through growth in equity, therefore the high cost of moving is becoming increasingly prohibitive, it suggests. in stamp duty, bringing their overall costs to £5,684, some 3.5 times the The South East, the East and the UK average.

South West also rank among the most expensive regions for movers, For the average home mover with the East and West Midlands buying and selling, upfront costs sitting in the centre of the table are now greater than one third of and Northern Ireland and the North the median UK salary of £29,588.

East the least expensive locations Those without significant cash as a result of lower house prices, savings at their disposal are enabling greater fluidity in the therefore forced to dip into their housing market. existing equity to cover moving Moving costs for first time buyers across the UK are considerably lower at an average of £1,613, thanks to the exemption of stamp duty for first time buyers on properties up the value of £300,000. A 2% annual increase in overall costs has been driven mainly by marginal rises in removals and conveyancing fees.

Yet higher house prices in London mean that first time buyers in the capital are typically paying £3,750

expenses such as stamp duty, which poses a greater challenge while house prices are stagnant or falling.

Consequently, in a flat housing market such as the UK has seen in 2019, moving home becomes more prohibitive despite an annual increase in overall costs of just 2%.

‘Home owners are having to dig deeper than ever before to fund a home move, with upfront costs reaching another record high in 2019. A marginal annual increase

in house prices has led to higher stamp duty and conveyancing bills, meaning movers now have to find almost £10,500 which is a significant chunk of cash to raise from property equity or personal savings, on top of their deposit,’ said Rob Houghton, chief executive officer of Really Moving.

‘While first time buyers across most of the UK are benefiting from the stamp duty exemption, as a result of higher prices those in London are still having to find over £5,500 to fund a move, which is a daunting figure for anyone starting out on the path to home ownership,’ he pointed out.

‘Stamp duty charges may be fixed, but it is possible to make savings on other costs such as conveyancing, surveys and removals by shopping around online for the best deals and comparing ratings and reviews, as well as price,’ he added.

Three bedroom homes are selling the fastest, new analysis shows.

Three bedroom properties are selling faster so far this year than other types of home, taking an average of 122 on the market, followed by two bedrooms at 126 days.

There is also a reality gap between the mortgage approval prices of buyers and the reality of sold prices, the report from lettings and sales agent Benham and Reeves suggests.

The latest report shows that based on date from Nationwide, Halifax, Rightmove and the Land Registry, the current UK house price during the second quarter of this year is £251,682, up 1.7% quarterly and 1.4% annually, the first quarterly increase since the third quarter of 2018.

In London, the current average price is £512,193, up 1.5% annually and the first quarterly increase since Q2, 2018, although prices are still down 1.6% annually.

When looking at the price buyers are securing at the mortgage approval stage compared to the asking price expectations of home sellers, there is a 36.2% gap across the UK and a 32.7% gap in the capital.

When looking at the final stages of the property selling process, UK buyers are paying 25.5% less on average than the average asking price, while in London buyers are paying 24.5% less than the average asking price in the capital.

While the first increase in quarterly house price growth for some time is positive, according to the firm’s director Marc von Grundherr, there is still a reality gap between the price buyers are entering the

market at, the price sellers are trying to achieve and the price they are ultimately doing a deal at.

‘While there are a number of factors that can influence this price gulf, it will do little to help a lethargic market that is currently struggling to shake off the shackles of Brexit uncertainty,’ he explained.

The report also points out that the gap between a seller’s desired price and sold price has been widening since the end of last year, as current market conditions play their part and sellers continue to lower their price expectations in order to secure a buyer.

BeverleyMag October 2019

‘It’s only natural that sellers want to achieve the best price for their property but what many are failing to understand is that this price is dictated by current market conditions and not their emotional attachment, or a previous valuation,’ said von Grundherr.

‘While we haven’t seen prices tumble per se, we have seen a hesitance from buyers to transact. The result in this demand reduction is always going to be a widening gap between asking price expectation and the price a property will actually sell at and we’ve seen this gap continue to widen so far this year,’ he added.

Interiors: Why You Should Consider Wallpapering Your Bathroom

We always appreciate a stylishly tiled bathroom, but there’s no denying the wowfactor of wallpaper in a bathroom. Not just confined to the downstairs loo, bathroom wallpapers are now stronger and more durable than ever, they’re even suitable for your shower cubicle. Here’s what to consider if you’re thinking about embracing the trend...

Easy To Clean?

Changes in temperature and humidity means bathroom wall coverings need special consideration. Paula Taylor, Colour and Trends Specialist at Graham & Brown, explains: “Vinyl wallpapers are most commonly used in bathrooms, especially in areas that may get splashed.”

Wipe-clean surfaces and embossed detailing are hard-wearing alongside vinyl. You can also apply a coat of Decorator’s Varnish over the top to seal wallpaper and

BeverleyMag October 2019

make it moisture resistant. Some wallpapers are fully washable, so you can even use it in your shower cubicle. West One Bathrooms’ Wall&Deco Wet System is a fully waterproof system that can be installed on to existing wall murals and tiles. “The wallpaper is easy to clean (no dirty grout lines to worry about) and is resistant against all cleaning products,” explains Louise Ashdown, Head of Design at West One Bathrooms.

Convenience & Cost

Choosing a tile wallpaper design is an effective way to cut costs installing the real thing. “Tiles certainly have their benefits, but they are costly and it’s a big job to change them when you decide it’s time for a refresh,” says Paula. “Some of the most popular bathroom wallpapers mimic tiles and they’re extremely realistic. Plus, there’s no grouting required.” As well as being easy to put up, Louise points out the versatility of wallpaper as a decorating option. “Once tiles are up, they are up. If you get bored, you don’t want to re-tile. Yet with wallpaper it’s possible to change quite easily.”

Space & Design

Pattern can actually help to create the illusion of space in small bathrooms, adding warmth and personality to a blank canvas.

“When limited to a small space, dark prints can add depth to a room and make the walls recede, especially when combined with some strategically placed mirrors,”

says Lee Johnson, Managing Director at Lee Johnson Decorating.

“Far from dominating the room, it can merge boundaries when used on as many walls as possible, even extending to the ceiling. Don’t be fooled into thinking you have to stick to small scale pattern either, murals or large-scale patterns work extremely well.”

Five Steps To Install Your Bathroom Wallpaper l Seal other types of paper with Decorator’s Varnish - always try it out on a sample first. l In bathrooms you need to increase the adhesive strength of wallpaper paste so add either add

dispersion to your paste or buy specific diversion glue. Note, it will take longer to dry and harden. l If you want to paper over tiles, fill the gaps with adhesive to create an even surface. Once it’s dry, sand it, re-fill any gaps, repeat the sanding, wipe clean and dry thoroughly. l Apply deep primer to the tiles twice and put up lining paper. l Hang your wallpaper.

Whether it’s marbling or tiles, florals or geometrics, when choosing a wallpaper, don’t forget to consider the metallic tones in your bathroom, such as taps and towel rails.

BAD MANNERS play The Welly in

Hull on Sunday 13th October 2019!

Bad Manners are an English Second Wave (2 Tone) ska revival band. They quickly became the novelty favourites of the fad through their bald, enormousbodied frontman’s on-stage antics, earning early exposure through their Top of The Pops TV exploits and an appearance in the live film documentary, Dance Craze.

Fronted by Buster Bloodvessel (born Douglas Trendle), the band was formed in 1976 while the members were together at Woodberry Down Comprehensive School near Manor House, North London. They were at their most popular during the late 1970s and early 1980s, during a period when other ska revival bands, such as Madness and The Specials and The Selecter, filled the charts.

Bad Manners spent 111 weeks in the UK Singles Chart between 1980 and 1983. After becoming popular in London, Bad Manners signed to Magnet Records in 1980 for a six figure sum, and then became more

well known. Some of Bad Manners’ more notable hits include “My Girl Lollipop”, “Lip Up Fatty”, “Ne Ne Na Na Na Na Nu Nu”, “Lorraine”, “Just A Feeling”, “Walking In The Sunshine”, “Can Can” and “Special Brew”.

One of the main reasons for their notoriety was their outlandish huge-tongued and shaven-headed frontman, Buster Bloodvessel. His manic exploits got them banned from the British BBC TV chart show Top of the Pops.

Beverley Minster has received a £440,000 grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for an exciting heritage project: ‘Beverley Minster - Place of Sanctuary since 937’. Made possible with money raised

by National Lottery players, the project will explain why Beverley was once famous as a place of sanctuary for fugitives from rough justice. Today, sanctuary is still a priority for displaced people all over the world. The Minster’s project will enable people to find refuge in one of the finest Gothic buildings in Europe The Minster will work with The National Lottery Heritage Fund to engage with a diverse audience, to include people that may not traditionally engage with the Minster and Beverley’s history of sanctuary. A Learning Officer and Project Manager will be appointed, as well as additional volunteers and tour guides, to increase the number of tours currently offered. Some of these tours will be in the medieval roof structure, part of which is being repaired, restored and made safe by this project.

Using the latest technology, the story of the sanctuary will be told through enhanced displays in the Minster. The creation of a guidebook will accompany updates to the website to ensure that the latest information and resources on the Minster’s history are available both on- and offline. The wider community is invited to take part in craft workshops and sanctuarythemed cultural and heritage events. An area of the Minster churchyard will be redeveloped as a sanctuary garden for peaceful reflection.

and has had a strong influence in the region. The Minster is the largest Parish Church in the country and larger than a third of English Cathedrals. In the centre of the medieval town of Beverley, it towers above the surrounding rural landscape of East Riding of Yorkshire. The project team expect this initiative to attract many new visitors, as well as local people, to wonder at the great heritage at the heart of Beverley.

Commenting on the award The Vicar, Revd Canon Jonathan Baker, said: “We are thrilled to have received this support thanks to National Lottery players and are confident the project will engage a wide and diverse audience. It is also an emphatic endorsement of the recently formed joint fundraising initiative with St Mary’s Church called ‘Two Churches One Town’.

St Mary’s Church also recently received an important grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.”

David Renwick, Director of England, North, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, said: “I am delighted that Beverley Minster’s longstanding history of sanctuary and those that sought it can finally be shared with the wider community thanks to National Lottery Players. The use of augmented reality is a welcomed approach that will surely bring to life the historic setting and the centuries-old stories it holds. We’re also happy that this concept can be used to reach out to audiences affected by modern day issues who may need sanctuary themselves.

The joint working with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council and St Mary’s in Beverley is a great example of collaboration to benefit a place.”

Beauty Box October is one of my favourite

months for many reasons.

Beautiful, balmy late-summer evenings and the warming glow of the landscape turning an autumnal hue, making the seasonal colour palette pop. And for me, warm tones in make-up are everything.

Typically, the ‘rules’ say if you have brown eyes, you’re lucky in that most eyeshadow colours will suit you. It’s as simple as using the colour wheel and choosing colours opposite your own, so opt for deep purple, bronze or gold to make brown eyes bright, and for blue eyes, rich browns and terracotta will work well for you. Green eyes are said to be the rarest colour of them all, and to make them stand out, red sits opposite on the wheel.

If that siren shade is too much, go for dark pinks and maroons.

BeverleyMag October 2019

Zoeva is known for its pigmented palettes, and the Voyager Matte Eyeshadow Palette (£14, cultbeauty. co.uk) is the perfect starter palette if you’re new to warm shades. Use Across the Street as a transition shade in the hood, and blend the top three colours across the lid for a sultry look. Use a thin brush to buff Chat Late At Night under the outer corner of your bottom lashes for a little more vamp.

I’m a big fan of a shimmer to really add fuel to fiery shades, and Huda Beauty is really packing the petrol.

Pick up one of the Obsessions palettes from Cult Beauty for £25 each, and you’ll find nine shades including mattes and shimmers.

Use a damp finger to press the shimmer shades over shadow in the centre of your eyelid, and smooth out.

The perfect palette for stashing in your bag, the Nyx Ultimate palette in Phoenix (£16, Boots) is packed

with autumnal shades to see you through the season. Hot tip: if you want to add punch to light shades like the yellow in this palette, invest in a white liner, like Nyx Slim Eyeliner Pencil in White (£3.50, Boots), or use concealer carefully patted over lids to act as a priming base, before packing the colour over the top with a finger or fluffy brush.

Who doesn’t love a Naked (bottom left) palette from Urban Decay?

The Naked Heat (£42, John Lewis) doesn’t disappoint. This is a great eyeshadow palette for those who want to warm up their look without getting too spicy, with subtle,

Pick of the Month Beautiful packaging, cruelty free and vegan. Lime Crime is smashing it when it when it comes to creative make-up. The Lime Crime Venus palette (£34, cultbeauty.co.uk) is the winner for warm shades. With eight outrageously pigmented shades, including rustic reds, browns, burgundies and pretty, pinky nudes – you’ll be set for the season.

wearable shades.

If lippie is more your thing, fear not – there are some stunning shades for the golden season. I would encourage you to be brave and go for something bold. Too Faced Melted Matte Gingerbread Man is the one, if you can find it, but this coveted shade is often sold out, so try (ironically) Sell Out and Lady Balls mixed together for a hack (£19 each, Asos). Nyx Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Orange County (£7, Boots) is pumpkin perfect, and for a more sultry smile opt for Kat Von D in Exorcism (£17, Debenhams), which is long-lasting and freakishly good.

Mayor’s Introduction Festival Cook-off

Kitchen Chaos Returns!

As Mayor of Beverley, it is an honour to be part of the Beverley Town Council team running the 14th Beverley Food Festival.

Taking place in the heart of our thriving market town, it is an opportunity to celebrate all the exciting and delicious products created by local and regional food and drink producers. It is also a time to reflect on Beverley’s historic position as a central point for folk from the wider rural community to meet together and sell their produce under the Market Cross. The Food Festival echoes that history and helps to keep the local food scene financially viable, whilst also bringing a boost to the town’s economy - people flock not just to the festival stalls, but also visit our pubs, cafes and restaurants to enjoy everything else Beverley has to offer.

An annual highlight in our Cookery Theatre Marquee is the heated competition between local BBC presenters in the culinary chaos of the Festival Cook-off! Supported by local chefs, two of the Beeb’s finest will draw wooden spoons at ten paces and fight it out to see who will be crowned Kitchen Conqueror 2019.

Thank you to our members of staff and volunteers, who make the festival such a success, and I look forward to meeting many residents and visitors as they take in the tastes, sights and aromas.

All the main ingredients will be sources from festival stalls shortly before the completion takes place, so it will be a surprise to not just for the audience, but also the chefs and competitors, as to exactly what they will be cooking up.

The Festival Cook-off starts at 12:15pm and is always a popular event, so make sure you get into the Marquee early to guarantee a seat.

In addition, with the Beer and Cider Festival at St Mary’s Church (Fri 4th to Sat 5th Oct) and the Beverley Gentle Music Festival at Toll Gavel Church (Fri 4th to Sun 6th Oct), it is shaping up to be a fantastic weekend of food, ale and song!

Best wishes and bon appétit!

Chefs and Restaurants

By celebrating the excellence of local food, Beverley Town Council and Food Festival have helped to put not only the town, but also the wider East Riding on the foodie map.

Our talented chefs, who have supported the festival for many years, understand the importance of using locally sourced ingredients to create their own unique dishes. By doing so, they are supporting local producers, as well as reducing food miles to encourage sustainability.

So please, come and discover what they have to offer, by visiting the Cookery Theatre Marquee throughout the day.

World of Wine Aldi is targeting affluent wine consumers with the launch of a 35-strong premium own label range that will only be available exclusively online, as well as adding new sub-£4 varietal wines in store.

The German supermarket’s new “Icon” wine range, which is rolling out this month priced from around £7- £20, increases the number of core wines sold by the retailer online by around a third and marks a departure for the online side of the business, which has previously only included wines also sold in store.

Company spokesman Josh Heley explained: “We know there are a lot of customers who want to be able to spend more on wine than they can in an Aldi store and we want to capture those customers and offer them premium, high end wines that they will love.”

wine is poured into a wide glass compared to a standard one.

The colour of the wine also seems to influence the size of the pour with an average of nine per cent more white wine poured into a glass than red, due to red wine’s greater colour contrast to clear glass.

Participants in the study were asked to pour what they considered to be a normal measure of wine using different types of glassware in various settings.

“If you ask someone how much they drink and they report it in a Artisan Tasmania Pinot Noir 2017 number of servings, for a self-pour (£16.99), a Cuvée 13 Châteauneuf- that’s just not telling the whole du-Pape 2016 (£16.99), Cathedral story,” said Dr. Doug Walker, who Cellar Old Bushvines Pinotage led the study.

A study carried out by researchers at Iowa State University in the US has found that 12 per cent more

He continued: “We are a volumeled retailer and those types of wines don’t do enough volume to justify space in bricks and mortar, but they will definitely have a place for them online. Something like a South African Pinotage is a great example.”

The range includes a JeanPaul Seguin Pouilly-Fumé 2018 (recommended retail price £14.99), a Jean Bouchard Chablis Premier Cru 2017 (£14.49), an

The study also found that the way a wine glass is held can determine how much wine is poured in each serving, with an average of 12 per cent more wine given when a glass is held rather than on the table. * New Zealand wine brand

Brancott Estate is tapping into the trends for vegan and organic wines with the launch of a new collection. The Living Land Series, which is made from fully organic grapes, is available exclusively in Tesco, priced at £11.

Spokesman Chris Shead said: ‘We are excited to be launching the Brancott Estate Living Land Series as there is a growing desire for organic wines in the market, with the category on the rise and expected to grow in value by 10.5 per cent and reach £1.15 billion by 2022.”

Patrick Materman, chief winemaker for Brancott Estate, says the launch of the organic wines in the Living Land Series is a significant milestone that epitomises an ongoing commitment to environmental programmes.

He said: “Ever since we first planted Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough more than 40 years ago, we’ve known our vineyards are our greatest resource. As a founding member of New Zealand’s original sustainable wine-growing initiative, we have strong views on developing and running environmental programmes and have always made a conscious effort to limit any impact on the environment.” * It’s perhaps a bit early to be talking about Christmas but House of Townend’s Cellar Door outlet at Melton Business Park hosts its Christmas Portfolio Tasting this month - it’s their final tasting event of the year and something that’s become a bit of a tradition.

La Patrie Cahors Malbec Price: £7.00

Cune Rioja Rosado Price: £7.50 (was £8.50)

The Interlude Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc

Where: Waitrose When: Now, until October 8 Why: From renowned Languedoc vignerons, this is vivid crimson in colour, with a nose dominated by the Grenache’s jammy raspberry aromas. On the palate, the Syrah and Carignan add some spice and tannin, resulting in a well structured and racy wine. Serve with some lamb chops, well seasoned and sprinkled with thyme.

Where: Co-op When: Now, until October 15 Why: I don’t often recommend pinks and we are getting near that time of year when I stop drinking them, but . . . this is a multiple award-winning wine and for good reason. Try this bold, structured, juicy Cabernet Sauvignon with smoky meats - think BBQ “burnt ends”!

BeverleyMag October 2019

Where: Sainsbury When: Now Why: This is a structured, full bodied yet elegant red made using super-ripe Malbec grapes which have been enriched with a hint of oak. It’s bursting with blackberry and blackcurrant fruit and makes a perfect partner to all types of roasted meat, including beef or lamb.

6 Ways Pumpkins Make You Look & Feel Better When you think of October, your mind likely draws towards pumpkins – but what you may not be aware of, is all the beauty benefits pumpkin provides. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, including more of Halloween’s official vegetable in your diet this autumn can help with everything from getting glowing skin to beating the bloat, and even improving your smile. Here are 6 reasons the beauty experts reckon we should be eating more of it...

1. It Gives Skin A Glow “Pumpkins are packed with antioxidants like that brighten the skin and produce radiant skin cells. Being a good source of vitamin C, it can help protect the skin from wrinkles and in addition, consuming the pumpkin can improve skin tone and elasticity.”

– Amanda Von Hagen, skin expert and International Educator at Glo Skin Beauty UK 2. It Can Reverse UV Damage “Including pumpkin in your diet can help to protect against damaging UV light and reduce the risk of developing cataracts too. The betacarotene in pumpkin helps reverse UV damage which brightens and smooths the skin, whilst the carotenoids (the plant pigment that gives pumpkins their orange hue) slows down cellular ageing.” – Amanda Von Hagen 3. It Strengthens Your Nails “Rather than investing in costly strengthening polishes, pumpkin seeds work wonders for your nails.

They’re rich in vitamin E, protein, zinc, fibre and are alkaline forming which fights inflammation in the body. Eating pumpkin seeds that are rich sources will keep your nails looking and feeling stronger.” – Amanda Von Hagen 4. It Helps Beat The Bloat “Pumpkins are low in FODMAPs [one of the main culprits behind bloating] and are a good source of soluble fibre which can help support digestive health and feed our beneficial gut flora. They also provide plenty of betacarotene

which the body converts to vitamin A – a valuable vitamin supporting gut integrity.” – Christine Bailey, nutritionist & author of Beat The Bloat 5. It Boosts Hair Thickness & Density “Zinc-rich foods like pumpkin seeds are important for hair health. Hair follicles are the second fastest growing cells in the body and highly depend on zinc, so a deficiency can cause hair thinning and excessive shedding. Zinc is also essential to maintain healthy levels of thyroid hormones, and its deficiency is associated with hypothyroidism, a condition where not enough thyroid hormones are produced, which can also result in hair loss.” – Christine Bailey 6. It Keeps Teeth & Gums Healthy “Pumpkins and their seeds are full of nutrients and vitamins that help fight off gum inflammation and help keep the tongue super healthy too, such as zinc, iron, magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin A. One cup of pumpkin gives you all the vitamin A and 20% of your needed daily allowance of vitamin C.” – Dr Reena Wadia, oral health & gum specialist

Sustainable eating: which foods have the highest and lowest environmental impacts?

Swap salmon for mussels - and steer clear of lamb, says nutrionist Melanie Walker Sustainability is the buzzword of 2019, and you shouldn’t expect the momentum to slow anytime soon. From fashion to travel, eco-friendly initiatives are at the forefront of developments, but when it comes to sustainable eating, what could we be doing differently?

We asked Harley Street nutritionist Melanie Walker to share with us the best and worst foods in terms of their impact on the environment.

So how can we minimise our diet’s impact?

Eating seasonal, local produce is a great place to start (locate your nearest farmer’s market immediately), but there are also certain foods that are more ecologically problematic than others. Unfortunately, it isn’t quite as simple as cutting out whole food groups such as meat or dairy, either, as some plant-based options use a lot more energy or water resources to produce than others.

Take the first step in your ecoeating journey by making a notes of these foods with the highest and lowest environmental impact.

Working Group. Lambs provide a lot less edible meat than cows, hence the overall higher environmental impact.

Beef

Both deforestation and high feed requirements add to the negative environmental impact of beef farming, and it takes roughly 2500 gallons of water to produce just one pound of beef. It is second only to lamb on the scale, and comes in just above pork.

almond and some nut farming methods are not only ecologically harmful, but pose humanitarian issues, too. For example, many workers in the booming cashew industry are reported to earn no more than £1.75 a day, often suffering burns from the acid contained in the outer layers of the nuts.

Foods with the Lowest Environmental Impacts Lentils

Cheese

Lamb is more damaging for the environment than beef.

Foods with the Highest Environmental Impacts Lamb

People often state beef to be the least environmentally friendly food source, but in fact lamb has a 50 per cent higher greenhouse gas emissions level than beef, according to the Environmental

BeverleyMag October 2019

The environmental impact of the dairy farming process involved to create enough milk to produce cheese is enormous – cheese production produces roughly thirteen times the amount of carbon emissions than foods like lentils and tomatoes.

Almonds

A lot of people assume that avoiding animal products means they’re in the clear when it comes to eco-guilt, but of some plant foods require a lot more resources to produce than others.

It takes one gallon of water to produce each and every solitary

An increasingly popular pulse, meat alternative and a healthy addition to your diet, lentils are not only easy on the budget, they’re easy on the environment, too. As a comparison, the carbon emissions for lentils are 40 times lower than the worst offender, lamb.

brilliant source of omega-3 and a healthy protein source. ‘Farmed’ mussels are generally raised on ropes hung in the ocean, causing very little environmental damage.

Tomatoes

Another fantastic environmentallyfriendly choice is the tomato, with emissions of just 1.1kg of CO2 per kg of tomatoes. They’re super easy to grow at home and take up little space meaning that even a small balcony can accommodate a growing bag, so go the extra mile by planting your own.

Mussels

Farmed salmon is one of the least environmentally friendly fish out there, so swap it for mussels, a

Tomatoes have a low impact on the environment

Of course, with all of these foods you should also bear in mind where these foods are being produced and imported from, since the transportation of food adds to their carbon footprint enormously.

The production methods are also hugely important, so buying organic/traditionally produced, local produce is always generally your best option where possible.

Where To Avoid Overtourism

Amsterdam’s crowded canals, protests ripping through Barcelona’s core, cruise ships marring Dubrovnik’s beauty – some of our best-loved travel spots are creaking under the weight of their popularity. As overtourism rages on, it’s a good moment to celebrate some lesser-travelled destinations, places where congested streets and soaring prices aren’t the norm. From Kanazawa in Japan to Dinant in Belgium, HullMag contributor Nadia Hemmings highlights six alternatives for crowd-free travel..

mythical. While iPhone-wielding crowds clog the perennially popular Golden Circle, the sense of adventure that lured so many to Iceland is still intact in its lesservisited West. And its surprisingly accessible too: EasyJet and Icelandair are amongst the low-cost carriers that regularly plug the three-hour flight from London to Reykjavík, from where just a few hours’ drive west transports you to a seemingly different world. Now all you have to do is choose your adventure: summit the frozen roof of the mighty Snæfellsjökull, stroll along black-sand beaches, unwind in a geothermal pool or seek out Kirkjufell, the conical mountain made famous by Game of Thrones.

1. Swap Kyoto for Kanazawa, Japan’s “little Kyoto”

Kyoto has long been the favourite second stop on a Japan itinerary, a tradition-steeped antidote to Tokyo’s futuristic thrill. And with Japan poised to host the Rugby World Cup and Olympics, Kyoto’s set to get even busier.

But there’s an alluring alternative – Kanazawa has been dubbed “Little Kyoto” for good reason. It’s a city bursting with traditional charm: atmospheric alleyways lace its geisha district, the sculpted Kenroku-en garden is considered one of the most beautiful gardens in Japan, while the Omicho Market – a haven for seafood lovers – dates back to the Edo era. And since 2015’s arrival of high-speed train links to Tokyo, a wave of optimism has fuelled Kanazawa’s cuttingedge art scene and fast-growing cohort of restaurants. This is a city nudging its way onto the tourist trail – visit now.

5. Swap Dubrovnik for seaside strolls in Zadar

2. Swap Barcelona for up-andcoming culture-hub Málaga

While Barcelona – Spain’s renowned culture capital – has become a victim of its success, Málaga has been quietly polishing off its cultural plaudits. Swap Barcelona’s thriving port for Málaga’s gleaming waterfront.

Trade Gaudí for Málaga-born Picasso. Pick Málaga’s dazzling Pompidou Centre for your contemporary art fix. This is a city heaving with artistic life, from its numerous galleries to the street-art

6 splashed Soho district. And there’s more to Málaga besides art: explore its Moorish fortress, sample sweet local wine or enjoy a seafood lunch with views of the Mediterranean.

3. Swap Bruges for stunningly located Dinant

The crowds may have dampened Bruges’s magic, so fall under the spell of Dinant instead. This town promises a fairy-tale setting: threaded between craggy cliffs and the River Meuse, whose glassy waters playfully reflect Dinant’s parade of colour-splashed buildings. This is perfect weekend break material: admire the oniondome topped Notre Dame church; explore the cliffside citadel that looms above the town; cosy-up in a charming café; or cycle through the gorgeous surrounding countryside.

4. Swap the Golden Circle for Iceland’s lesser-visited West

West Iceland a land of glowering volcanoes, roaring waterfalls and sparkling glaciers seems almost

Trade Dubrovnik’s cruise ship chaos and soaring prices for a lesserknown seaside city. Wonderfully crowd free by Croatian standards, Zadar effortlessly blends age-old charms with contemporary cool.

Wander through the city’s medieval walled centre, a latticework of Roman streets pinpricked with Venetian-era bell towers; linger over a seafood lunch; stroll at sunset along the waterfront, while the tide plays the lulling chords of the city’s unique Sea Organ.

Nearby there’s plenty to discover too, from deserted Adriatic beaches to the waterfall-laced Plitvice Lakes National Park.

6. Swap Amsterdam for cafés and cycling in Groningen

Canal-side townhouses, a thriving cultural scene and cycle-crazed locals – a quick description of Groningen could easily be mistaken for Amsterdam. While the Netherland’s poster child swarms with visitors, Groningen provides an ideal alternative. Spurred by its local university, Groningen is home to a buzzing café culture, affordable dining scene and vibrant cultural calendar. Get your art fix at the Groninger Museum, admire the panoramic views atop the Martinikerk, and of course, hop on a bike – pioneering Groningen’s old town has been traffic-free since the 1970s.

Travel… Safari

It was sad to see the demise of Thomas Cook last month. For many of us oldies in the travel industry it was where we started our careers. It was 40 years ago this month that I joined Thomas Cook. In those days the travel business was very different. Computers were non existent and our tools were the telephone and manuals. We issued India all of our own continental rail tickets as well as airline tickets all by hand. Not a mistake could be made.

At Marion Owen Travel we still strive to provide a full service and not a holiday shop. Many travellers still want individuality when they travel “one size does not fit all” perhaps this is where things started to go wrong for TC? For the record I own our agency 100%. I am a sole trader not a franchise.

Anyway, back to the present and today I want to share with you my Safari Experience I enjoyed this this August. Many of our clients love animals but would never wish to fly as far as Africa to take a Safari. Well I have now found an experience in the UK that is amazing.

Accommodation is in luxury tents with all modern amenities and proper comfortable beds as well as a bathroom. As I stood on the porch of my tent I could see out over the plain, across the English Channel and the coast line of France. There grazing down below me were Giraffes, Zebra, Wilder beast and more.

Once out at the Lodge for your overnight experience you cannot return, that was the easy part it was leaving that was hard. The experience starts with a game drive on arrival out to the lodge our guide Chris had worked in the reserve for 31 years so knew many of the animals by name.

On arrival at the lodge we had a celebratory glass of bubbly, made ourselves at home in our very comfortable tents before heading out for another game drive. Our jeep was loaded with branches full of leaves and off we went to feed the Giraffes.

Chris knew each one by name which ones you could stroke and which ones not to touch they all enjoyed munching on the leaves. This is Lulu in the photo.

Dinner follows an African theme of tasty fayre and the lodges decor to complements the scene.

The following day we enjoyed a super breakfast before our final game drive took us back to the entrance through an entirely different part of the park with Rhinos, Monkeys and more, followed by Lions & Tigers.

The reserve prides itself on breeding endangered species and then releasing them back into the wild when the numbers start to flourish.

We stayed at Giraffe Lodge, this is not cheap but a wonderful experience not to be missed. Now I have tried and tested this experience first hand I am returning with a tour next July.

For those of you who do not wish to travel so far then there are many special experiences to have in the UK with out having to fly or get on a ship.

For more information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Blue Italian: A Best Seller from 1816 Spode’s Blue Italian is one of the most instantly recognisable of all ceramics patterns, a best seller to be seen today in all the quality china departments and china shops of the land. So it is surprising to realise that this pattern , with its central romantic continental scene, was first produced in 1816, just a year after the battle of Waterloo. After the Willow pattern it is the most common blue and white transfer printed pattern that we see and the recent delivery of a large collection to our valuation office in Beverley prompts me to explore its origins.

The Spode company was launched in the 1760s by Josiah Spode, a self-made man if ever there was one. Josiah came from an extremely poor background …. as a small boy he saw his father buried in a pauper’s grave …. but despite this unpromising start to life he had by his early 30s gained considerable experience in pottery manufacture and accumulated sufficient resources to go into business on his own account, opening his first small workshop.

Josiah was to prove to be an extremely creative and innovative potter. In 1784 he perfected the art of blue underglaze printing, a technique which revolutionised the manufacture of English tableware and paved the way for the phenomenal growth of the industry at the end of the 18th century.

The technique, which is still used at Spode today, involves hand

introduced, a material which despite its delicate appearance is actually dense, extremely hard and which, in the late 20th century, has turned out to be able to withstand the best efforts of ovens, microwaves, freezers and dishwashers. That was real foresight! Imperial Earthenware, also still in production today, followed in around 1820.

In between came the introduction in 1816 of the famous blue Italian pattern. The central panel of the design is taken from a 17th century watercolour painting. The artist is believed to have been a Dutchman called de Moucheron and the scene is thought to show the ruins of the Coliseum in Rome. The border around the central scene is an interpretation of a Japanese Imari design.

It is possible to date pieces thanks to the Spode marking system which was always very comprehensive and easy to follow.

Also of help to collectors are several Spode guides looking at the history of the firm and its products and there is a Spode Society.

Following Josiah II’s death in 1827 his son – Josiah Spode III – took over but he lived for just two more years and that was the end of family control of the company.

Trustees ran the business until 1833 when it was sold lock, stock and potting wheel to W.T. Copeland. engraving the design on copper plates. The engraved pattern is then filled with metallic oxide and oil colours over which a sheet of tissue paper is laid before being passed through rollers. The tissue paper, now with the pattern in reverse, is cut out by hand and rubbed down on the particular item to be decorated with a stiff brush. The pattern is finally hardened on in a kiln before the piece is glazed and fired.

What happened next depends on what you read. What is certain is that towards the end of the 18th century Spode created the first

English bone china. The Spode company attribute the breakthrough to Josiah himself. However many specialists believe that it was actually his son, Josiah Spode II, who introduced bone china.

Josiah II was to run the company from his father’s death in 1797 until his own demise in 1827 and this was a period of great creativity.

In 1813 Spode’s Fine Stone China was

Bygone Beverley - In association with the East Riding Archive

MARRIED FOR THE MONEY

Weddings are an expensive business, whichever way you may look at it, and very often the burden of the cost is shouldered in large part by the proud parents of the bride and groom. Indeed, many of us consider it customary that the father or mother should cough up some cash to contribute to their son or daughter’s wedding, even though this can often be a painful business for anyone who is fonder of saving money than spending it.

A document that we hold at East Riding Archives is evidence that this tradition is a very long one indeed, and is by no means unique to recent generations.

The document is a marriage agreement that dates back over 525 years to 24th July 1490, showing the various expenses that were to be incurred by the respective fathers of the bride and groom.

The marriage was between John Baildon and Margarete Haldenby, who appear to have lived somewhere around Reedness near Goole. The agreement helped to bind John’s father Walter Baildon, and Margarete’s father Robert Haldenby, to the payment of various wedding expenses.

Walter was expected to clothe the bridegroom, pay for a hogshead of wine at the ceremony, and give the newlyweds 10 marks “when they goo to kepe househald”, in other words, to help them set up a home.

Robert was to clothe the bride, pay for dinner at the wedding, and buy them meat and drink for 3 years afterwards. As father of the bride, he also had to pay Walter a dower of £53 (about £27,000 in today’s money).

These agreements were very common amongst wealthy landed families as huge sums of money and valuable property were involved. Although this wedding was particularly expensive, I think many people today can still identify with the financial burden that was placed on Walter and Robert all those centuries ago, so if you think you’re getting a bad deal out of a wedding, spare a thought for these poor gentlemen!

The Power of Face-to-Face Events “Having a good level of interpersonal ability is integral for progressing in any career and having the opportunity to build upon those skills is one that should never be passed up!”

Today’s advances in technology are incredible, aren’t they? It’s never been easier to get in touch with someone across the globe, and the internet means that we can now achieve many of our daily tasks from the comfort of our armchairs and offices.

To put it into perspective, we send around 200 billion emails per day, a statistic some might consider daunting, but most would say is an incredible feat of modern tech. And whilst we can converse so freely through emails and phone calls, many would in fact argue that we’re becoming out of touch with one another. That’s why face-to-face events are more important than ever for your business. They bring

2. In face-to-face meetings the conversation is less labored and to the point, meaning it can tend to go in different directions more naturally, and from my experience, this leads to more opportunities.

communication back to basics: real people having real conversations.

Building a strong rapport with a potential client or supplier is and always will be best achieved through engaged face-to-face interactions. Face-to-face events are powerful in creating strong business communities. If you’ve attended a business exhibition or networking evening, you’ll know what is meant when I use this term.

Face-to-face events do much more than merely provide you with leads; they give you the rare opportunity to form bonds with like-minded

and driven businesspeople. Faceto-face events offer companies the opportunity to share their experiences from the world of business and learn from one another. Forging relationships through coming together and supporting each other is much more sustainable than simply turning up and trying to sell to everyone in sight.

Further to this, face-to-face events allow us to better gauge the thoughts and feelings of those we are trying to work with, as well as give us a better chance to present our businesses as confidently as possible. Studies show that facial expressions and body language equate to over half of the message we try to convey in our communication (something wholly lost through email or telephone conversation), so through face-to-face events we are given an opportunity to present our values and propositions in a more well-rounded and confident capacity, whilst allowing us to more accurately observe our respondents feelings.

Attending face-to-face events can also be powerful on a personal level, giving attendees an opportunity to continually improve their communicative skills. Having a good level of interpersonal ability is integral for progressing in any career and having the opportunity to build upon those skills is one that should never be passed up!

What are you waiting for, get out there and make those connections!

East Yorkshire Business Expo event organiser Nic Gough says “There are ten main reasons that I’m such a big fan of face-to-face meetings and why I will never stop having them”:

their words are saying. Nonverbal communication is far more important than the words being said and being able to see this live is hugely valuable.

DIGITAL

KIT HIRE

1. I’m able to read the body language of the other people in the room, which often sends a very different message to what

3. I find it much easier to engage with people when sitting across from them, face to face. We can laugh, hear each other clearly, make a comment about something in the office or something we’ve seen on the way in and so forth.

4. We don’t have the issues associated with the technology of virtual meetings, like “Skype Thunderbird Syndrome”, camera problems, connection issues, wasting 10 minutes trying to get the microphone to work and so on.

5. Face to face meetings tend to feel “clearer”. The key points are clear, the issues are clear and who needs to do what from this point on is clear. Virtual meetings can feel a bit foggy and less defined.

6. It’s much easier to build relationships through face-to-face meetings than it is with virtual meetings. And relationships are without a doubt, the key to any kind of long-term business success.

7. It’s definitely a lot easier to brainstorm face to face with a whiteboard and butchers paper than it is to do over a virtual meeting platform.

8. You can make more of an impression face to face, based on what you are wearing, how you conduct yourself in the meeting, even your computer/pens etc. This is a big part of our personal brand, whether you like it or not.

9. It’s easier to have some small talk when face to face and if you are smart, you can get a lot of information out of a few minutes of small talk which can help with building relationships, customising what you are going to say in your pitch and much more.

10. Last but not least, it is always better to have the hard conversations face-to-face. So much gets lost in translation otherwise, and a small problem can grow in a big problem simply because we didn’t make the effort to meet with someone face-to-face to talk through the issue and work out a solution.

So what are you waiting for!

Gardening

Top tips for October in your Garden Our guide to the gardening jobs you need to do in October such as clearing autumn leaves and planting spring bedding.

Dreaming of a white Christmas If you want to be surrounded by scented, flowering daffodils at Christmas, now is the time to start planting. It is always a bit of a hit-and-miss operation, but you greatly increase your chances by buying lots of bulbs and planting a few bulbs a week for the next few weeks. Paperwhites should only take around six weeks from planting to flower.

Clear leaves The simplest method of clearing leaves off the lawn is to run over them with a lawn mower. The cutting action of the mower blades will help to shred the leaves and make them quicker to rot down.

Collect leaves this way once a week - any longer and the grass will start to grow long and get harder to cut.

For clearing patios, paths and other surfaces, a leaf blower is a better bet. Either blow the leaves onto the lawn for the mower to pick up or blast them on to a tarpaulin and drag them to the compost heap.

Plant up spring pots If you haven’t already planted some containers with spring colour, there’s still time to plant now using

flowering and fruiting next year.

Feed the birds Buy birdfeeders and bird baths if you are not already fully equipped for your garden birds’ winter needs.

It is also time to hang fat balls, as birds need more energy to get them through cold nights. All from rspb.org.uk Hedge your bets A native hedge is not only brilliantly useful for wildlife, it is beautiful too, an ever-changing patchwork of greens, flowers and berries. This is the perfect time to plant a mix of hawthorn, blackthorn, field maple, elderberry, dog rose and more. The birds and the bees will thank you. bedding plants such as violas and wallflowers, plus springflowering bulbs. Keep your pots in a sheltered spot, such as under a porch, to encourage blooms through the winter and to avoid plants rotting off in the winter wet. Cyclamen and ornamental cabbage are particularly vulnerable to rotting in damp conditions. You won’t get masses of blooms during colder weather, but any milder spells should see a good show Boxing clever At this time of year I always pat myself on the back for having planted low box hedges several years ago as edges to borders: I can barely see them through the summer but now they give definition and greenery where there is little. A mulch around the base of the hedge shows off the plants to their best and keeps roots cosy and plants healthy.

Store squash Winter squash and pumpkins should be harvested now and will need to be stored in a frost-free place. In the warmth of a kitchen they may not last long, so keep them in a cool shed or porch and you’lll be eating them until spring.

Rosy outlook Pruning roses now helps them to weather winter well. Roughly chop bush roses back by about a third and take out those stems that cross the centre, and anything dead or diseased and you cut down on their wind resistance and make them less likely to get rocked about and incur winter damage. More thoughtful pruning can take place in spring.

Pond life Pond pumps need to be removed from your pond, drained and stored for winter. Fish can be deprived of oxygen if pond surfaces freeze over later in the year, so float a ball on the surface now, to keep water moving.

Turn to ash If you have a bonfire to get rid of all of your accumulated allotment prunings and debris, make use of the potash-rich ash. Any ash that is pure wood – no coal or smokeless fuel – is useful on the plot. When it is cool scatter it around the roots of fruit trees and bushes for great

Acid test Pine needles and conifer hedge trimmings take much longer to break down than other leaves, and it’s not a bad idea to make them a separate bin, so that you don’t get spiked when reaching into your compost’s depths. After two or three years they will break down to an acidic leaf mould perfect for use around ericaceous plants such as blueberries, azaleas and rhododendrons.

Send a smoke signal Cotinus (smoke bush) are brilliant small trees for vibrant and smallscale autumn colour. ‘Lilla’ is a new dwarf introduction that is particularly suited to small gardens.

Foliage is wine purple all summer and then turns shades of orange, yellow and red in autumn.

Need to weed Once growth in borders has started to die back, go through and root out all of those weeds that escaped your notice during lusher times.

This is a good moment to add a layer of mulch, to seal in warmth and to keep your border weed-free.

Sprinkle lime An application of lime can help unlock nutrients in your vegetable plot soil. Sprinkle it over bare ground now: it will have an effect on new growth in spring, but you won’t risk damaging young growth.

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

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

TRINITY LIVE

If you haven’t been to Trinity Live at Trinity Market on a Thursday night then you’re missing out on a treat!

Originally set up as a prelude to Humber Street Sesh, it’s proven to be so popular it’s been extended until Christmas! Around 500 people are going every week. Depending on when you’re reading this, that’s an extra 10 or 11 thousand people who have visited the city centre since it started in May. It’s good news for the evening economy, the independent traders and local musicians. So if you’re looking for great music, great food and lots of lovely people, it’s really worth checking out!

HULL NEW THEATRE

Talking about great things in Hull, I adore the theatre – and we are so lucky to have both Hull New Theatre and Hull Truck Theatre on our doorsteps. In October alone, the New Theatre has the Rocky Horror Show, Billionaire Boy, Cabaret and Blood Brothers. Last month we also saw An Inspector Calls (brilliant!) – and perfect because it’s one of the texts for GCSE English! It will soon be panto season – this year’s is Aladdin at the New Theatre and Hull Truck will be performing Peter Pan as well as How To Fly Like a Reindeer which sounds amazing. I am always so struck by how different these two theatres are yet how fantastic their productions are. If you’re a theatre-goer you will know what I mean. If you’re not, then please, please, please have a look at what’s on. See what takes your fancy and enjoy!

INSPIRATION FOR OCTOBER Who doesn’t love the colours of autumn when the trees go red, yellow and orange and then when they fall off we get to kick all the leaf piles that have drifted to the side of the paths? We’re thinking our 7-month-old springer spaniel is going to love that last part (!). So, to celebrate the beauty of autumn, I thought I’d offer up a selection of October quotes for you to ponder!

“The end of the summer is not the end of the world. Here’s to October…”

– A.A. Milne “October is crisp days and cool nights, a time to curl up around the dancing flames and sink into a good book.” - John Sinor “Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go.” - Unknown “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” - Albert Camus
