House prices hold up better than forecast amid Brexit doubts There was a drop in March from February but Halifax says UK prices up year on year in first quarter.

UK house prices held up better than expected in March as supply constraints outweighed uncertainty over the Brexit process, according to figures from Halifax.

4

The high street lender said house prices rose by 3.2% in the three months to March compared with the same period last year. The increase, the fastest since August, was above the 2.3% annual rise predicted in a Reuters poll of economists.

Prices fell by 1.6% in March compared with February, when the more volatile monthly measure surged by a record 6%. However, the monthly fall still represented a less severe correction than the 2.4% expected by economists.

To contact

The British housing market has been marked by volatility in recent months, with supply constraints sustaining prices, even though many buyers have been put off by uncertainty over Brexit’s potential effects on property values.

Russell Galley, a managing director at Halifax, said: “Industrywide figures show that the number of mortgages being approved remains around 40% below pre-financial crisis levels, and we know that lower levels of activity can lead to bigger price movements.”

The average home costs £233,181, Halifax said, although that masks significant regional differences, with demand for expensive properties in London having slumped.

A separate measure last month from Nationwide, Britain’s biggest

building society, showed London drove the first quarterly fall in house prices in seven years in England. However, outside the south-east of England, prices rose in every region.

Samuel Tombs, the chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said that while Halifax’s data pointed to a stronger market than other measures, “a sustained period of falling house prices still isn’t on the cards” because of low unemployment and relatively cheap mortgage rates.

British economists expect house prices to grow by 1.8% this year, according to the latest consensus forecasts collected by the Treasury. The Office for Budget Responsibility, which provides independent forecasts for the government, predicts house price inflation of 0.8% in 2019.

Enviromental News

How we can tackle insect armageddon...

Reports of a steep decline in world insect numbers are worrying. East Yorkshire gardeners can help to save lives.

Bugs face catastrophic collapse!

So declared the headlines above reports of a worrying decline in the number of insects worldwide.

Researchers predict that if this decline, recorded over 30 years, is allowed to continue, insects will be extinct in 100 years. Pesticide use, intensive agriculture and urbanisation are all blamed.

8

We are partial to the lazy hum of the bee and the sight of a pretty butterfly. Our urban back gardens, balconies and windowsills might seem small fry in the fight to stop a global decline, but we can all help.

Here are some simple ways to encourage insects into your outdoor space and do your bit for the bugs.

Ditch the pesticides You don’t need pesticides. If you plant the right flowers you will encourage the “good” bugs - hoverflies, lacewings and ladybirds - that will eat the troublesome ones: greenfly and aphids.

Instead of getting out the spray bottle, plant penstemons to attract ladybirds and draw in hoverflies and lacewings by sowing dill, fennel or the delightful, uplifting daisy-like cosmos from mid-spring.

For a windowbox or pot, a dwarf cosmos variety such as Sonata or Antiquity will provide months

of exuberant colour. For borders Cosmos Sensation Mixed will give you a stunning chest-high cloud of pink, purple and white flowers for months if you keep deadheading.

Bring on the butterflies and moths “Butterflies and moths are particularly vulnerable to extinction because their caterpillars are at the bottom of the food chain,” says Kate Bradbury, author of The Bumblebee Flies Anyway and Wildlife Gardening For Everyone and Everything.

Attract moths with scented honeysuckle or Beverley’s favourite climber, the smart, evergreen star jasmine (trachelospermum jasminoides) with its white scented flowers.

Moths are also attracted to the tobacco plant nicotiana alata (the only nicotiana with flower tubes short enough for native moths).

The elegantly acid “Lime Green” variety makes a smart choice for city pots.

Buddleia is a well-known magnet for butterflies, but too big for many urban spaces. Try verbena bonariensis instead, or the perennial wallflower erysimum “Bowles Mauve” which can flower year round in very sheltered spots.

Clothe with climbers Every Beverley garden needs climbers to soften the boundaries and provide scent and shelter.

And insects rather like them too.

“Ivy is the best option as you don’t need to train it,” says Bradbury, “but honeysuckle and clematis work well too.”

Pile it up Dead logs are a favourite refuge for beetles, wood lice and other insects. “Simply pile them up in a

corner,” says Bradbury.

“If you can, partially bury the logs in the soil as this will provide a habitat for stag beetles.”

If no logs are at hand, just leave dead leaves and twiggy prunings in a pile. On balconies or roof terraces, you can provide refuges for solitary bees by stuffing bundles of dead hollow stems such as alliums or bamboo into empty pots or crevices in the wall.

Bring in the bees Bees particularly like umbel flowers (those that look like umbrellas) such as ammi majus, orlaya grandiflora and fennel all of which bring grace and delicacy to urban gardens. They are also highly partial to daisy-like blooms like rudbeckias, ox-eye daisy, asters, helenium and echinaceas, with their joyful dollops of colour.

If you have only a windowsill or balcony, grow Mediterranean herbs in pots, says Bradbury.

Thyme, oregano, rosemary, lavender, dill and sweet cicely are “easy, low-maintenance, provide flowers for pollinators and we get to use them too”.

Even small spaces could include an apple tree in a pot to provide blossom, bark for insects to shelter in and fruit for you too.

Choose a M27 rootstock, and a self-fertile variety to ensure pollination such as Sunset, Red Windsor or Fiesta.

Health & Beauty

Rebekah’s

Beauty Box Whether your routine is brimming with lotions and potions or consists of a quick swipe of a wipe, most of us could take better care of our skin. With warmer weather on its way, now’s a great time to get skin savvy.

10

I’m obsessed with skincare and believe that a lot of (even the scariest) skin complaints can be solved – or at least improved – by the right products. However, everybody is different, and just because one person can’t stop raving about a product, doesn’t mean it will necessarily work for you. Genes, environment and diet play huge roles in how our skin behaves, and I would always recommend consulting a doctor for major complaints first.

Getting your basics down is key, and a tip I learned recently in my skincare journey is how important it is to exfoliate.

Without gently buffing off the dull old top layer of skin, any products you apply, like serums and moisturisers, will have to fight their way through to have any effect.

To contact

Starting with a scrub, I love something gentle enough to use every day like Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Gentle (£55, Space NK). For a real polish, try the Intensive Exfoliating Treatment from the same range (from, £21, Space NK). Or pop to Boots and grab Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Scrub (£4.97), a 3-in-1 micro exfoliant with glycolic and salicylic acids to brighten and renew.

On days you’re not exfoliating, start out with a good cleanser.

It’s up to you whether you prefer a liquid face wash, mousse, balm or cream: personally, I love a balm or oil.

Evolve Beauty Gentle Cleansing Melt (£12, John Lewis) is soothing and nourishing; a vegan product that turns to a creamy milk on meeting water, and the Sanctuary Spa Ultimate Cleansing Oil (£12, Boots) is a product I always return to.

Serum can feel like a pointless step; it soaks in so quickly and can feel a bit ‘nothingy’. In fact, it acts as a superconcentrated drink for the skin, packing goodies in to work hard as we sleep or go about our day.

The Ordinary, by Deciem, is a budget-friendly range, with ingredients simplified to match needs. I love the Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (£5.90, deciem. com), a mix of varying molecular weights of hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump skin. For hormonal skin prone to cystic breakouts, Murad’s Advanced Blemish & Wrinkle Reducer (£49.50, murad.co.uk) helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles, while reducing breakouts, and has been my skincare crutch since suffering with breakout woes in my late 20s. New from Murad, the Revitalixir Recovery Serum (£70) is ideal for reducing stress-induced dullness, dehydration and wrinkles.

Finally, follow with a moisturiser. My favourite is Murad Age-Balancing Moisture SPF30 (£65), in part because of the inclusion of SPF for protecting the skin from harmful UV rays. I’m sure it’s sure one of the reasons I still (occasionally) get ID’d hen buying beer!

If your moisturiser isn’t packing protectant, consider adding an SPF on top, like Murad’s City Skin Broad Spectrum SPF50 (£60), or ARK Skin Protector SPF30 Primer (£36,feelunique. com), which acts as a daily defence and a base for perfectly airbrushed make-up.

Have a beautiful Easter Rebekah x

Food & Drink

APRIL FRUIT Whether you fancy a warming crumble or more savoury dishes, rhubarb covers all the bases. It’s to die for when coupled with fresh mackerel or roast pork and can also be easily whipped into a batch of spiced chutney, which goes equally well with gammon.

12

VEGETABLES A tasty veggie appetiser is asparagus. Great fried, boiled or steamed, it’s well suited to risotto or fettuccine, or can simply be smothered in butter and freshly ground black pepper.

Broccoli is packed with nutrients and can be rustled up in any number of ways, be it as part of a roast, in a stir-fry or raw.

You can officially do away with the onslaught of roast potatoes and make way for some Jersey Royals, a much lighter alternative that will really get you in the mood for spring.

You can also root up further fresh veg with radishes – fiery in flavour and striking in colour, these little beauties will help jazz up your salads no end.

Speaking of which, lettuce and salad leaves will now be doing their thing too, paving the way for some lighter, healthier and more refreshing options for the forthcoming summer. A particularly peppery take on this is rocket, which is a rich source of iron, vitamin A and vitamin C and can replace basil in pesto

or make a bed for grilled fish and poultry.

sourced and don’t mind splashing out, you’ll be laughing.

You can even go under the sea for a touch of samphire. With its crisp texture and salty flavour, it grows in abundance on shorelines and can be treated in the same way as asparagus by being dipped in melted butter.

Finally, watercress will serve you well in game dishes, its mustardy flavour complementing the rich meat perfectly, as well as making for a wonderfully peppery soup.

Much like langoustine, prawns are a joy to eat and dissect and are among the most versatile seafood around. Give them a whirl in a stir-fry, salad or fish pie, or get messy eating them by hand. Rich in oils and incredibly versatile is salmon, which is simply sumptuous when

FISH Cockles and crabs are the catch of the month in April.

The former make for a popular seaside snack and go splendidly in a seafood pie, while the latter is up there with lobster whether hot or c old, in a salad, soup or soufflé.

The mild, sweet flavour of plaice is just as delicious. Unfortunately it is heavily overfished and can be quite pricey, but if you can find some that is sustainably

smoked with lemon juice or served as a classic dish such as salmon-en-croûte or salmon tart.

MEAT What wood pigeons lack in size, they more than make up for in flavour. Widely considered as the tastiest pigeon, two birds will make for a sizeable main course. While young ones are tender enough to be roasted, their older counterparts should ideally be braised or stewed to ensure they are equally enjoyable.

Bishop Burton College Footballer Named England Captain in Prestigious Tournament A talented young footballer at Bishop Burton College is following in the footsteps of some of the biggest names in the history of the English game.

Levi Tarbotton, 17, has been named captain for England Schools in the Centenary Shield tournament.

The English Schools Football Association competition has previously been graced by the likes of Michael Owen, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs – helping propel them to football superstardom.

Centre back Levi, who is also captain of the college’s further education boy’s side, is hoping it will set him on the road to similar success in the future after being named in the 18-strong strong ahead of more than 2,000 other players across the country who took part in trials.

“I’d obviously like to make it as professional, so I just need to keep doing my best, put in some good performances and hopefully I’ll get spotted,” he said.

“Last year I represented the England Colleges team. I was selected for the college team again this year, as well as the England Schools team, and I had to pick one. I picked the schools team because I thought it was a better

standard and likely to open a few more doors, and I hope that’s what it does.”

He said: “It was a fantastic experience – apart from getting beaten in the last minute! I really enjoyed it and there were a lot of scouts there.

It was a proud moment to be named man of the match.

Hopefully we can improve and bring the trophy back after the last game.”

Levi, who is a second year Business student from North Ferriby, joined the college through its football academy programme after being talent spotted playing for Humberside Schools Under 16s. He says his game has developed hugely under the expert guidance of the coaches at Bishop Burton.

“I strongly put my progress down to my time at Bishop Burton College,” he said.

“Before I came here I’d only played for a Sunday league team. I hadn’t been at an academy.

“When the ball used to come to me I would just head it or kick it away. Coming here, training every day, playing on a Wednesday, recovering properly and everything – it has taught me an awful lot more about the game,

especially with the coaches we have here.

They’ve really helped to improve me on the ball, in particular, which has made me a lot more confident.”

Head of Football at the College, James Bennett, said: “Levi has taken on board the advice given to him and that has helped take him to another level, including achieving international honours two years in succession.

“We are proud of him and his development and I’m confident other players from the college will be just as successful in the future.”

Bishop Burton College, which is the home of Hull City’s academy, runs a range of sports courses and academy teams.

Spring Cleaning

Five guaranteed ways to make your home less toxic to live in.

We are surrounded by chemicals – in food and drink, cleaning products, household items and furnishings. Here’s how to reduce household pollution...

Ventilate

Cleaning products, cooking, candles and building materials all contribute to pollution inside our homes. The British Lung Foundation (BLF) recommends choosing fragrance-free cleaning products and using solid or liquid products when possible, rather than sprays. It also advises opening windows or skylights, especially when cooking or showering, and avoiding the use of several candles or incense sticks in a small room such as a bathroom. As outdoor pollution can also travel into the home, the BLF also suggests keeping windows closed when Defra’s Daily Air Quality Index is high.

Cut down on plastic

The synthetic chemical Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in many plastic products and can be ingested or absorbed through skin contact, potentially disrupting the endocrine system. Ninety-five percent of adults are thought to have traces of BPA in their bodies through continuous exposure – Tamara Galloway, a professor of ecotoxicology at the University of Exeter, says avoiding heavily processed and packaged food can help to limit exposure. Breastfeeding or buying baby bottles with a BPA-free label are also among her recommendations.

Make your own cleaning products The author of All You Need is Less: A Guilt-Free Guide to EcoFriendly Living and Stress-Free

Simplicity, Madeleine Somerville, says soap, baking soda and vinegar are all you need to make your own cleaning sprays. She recommends filling a spray bottle with hot water, leaving a few inches at the top, before adding a ¼ cup of white vinegar, 2 tbsp of eco-friendly washing-up liquid and an optional 1tbsp of borax.

Reduce dust and tackle any damp or mould

A 2016 US study identified 45 toxic chemicals in indoor dust, including phthalates, flame retardants and phenols. “Because indoor dust contains chemicals from a wide variety of products, it is like a parking lot for chemicals in the home,” wrote Veena Singla, co-author of the study from the Natural Resources Defense Council in California. Simple steps to reduce exposure include washing hands with plain soap and water, keeping household dust to a minimum by dusting with a damp cloth and using a vacuum with a high-efficiency particulate air (Hepa) filter.

www.dnfourteenmag.co.uk

Damp and mould can also affect your immune system, as well as increase the chance of respiratory problems. Preventing the build-up of condensation is key, says the NHS, though mould be must removed carefully so as not to release spores.

Consider your paint choices

As well as the fumes and chemicals given out during painting, freshly decorated walls can continue to pollute long after they are dry. Paint labelled “ecofriendly” or “natural” due to its lowered levels of volatile organic compound (VOC) are not necessarily “green”, wrote interior design journalist Katherine Sorrell. Among her recommendations are Edward Bulmer Natural Paint, Aglaia, Biofa, Earthborn and Ecos Organic Paints.

What’s On

JESS GLYNNE ‘Live After The Races’ plays DONCASTER - Racecourse on Saturday 18th May

WIN

A PAIR OF TICKETS TO SEE

24

JESS GLYNNE SEE PAGE 21 FOR DETAILS

Jess Glynne announces a handful of outdoor racecourse shows for 2019!

Following the release of her brand new album ‘ Always In Between’, featuring the hits ‘I’ll Be There’ and ‘Thursday’, the first outdoor show kicks off at Doncaster Racecourse taking place on Saturday 18th May, where the Summer will see Jess playing the racecourse grounds including Lingfield Park Resort in Surrey, finishing off at Wolverhampton – Racecourse on Saturday 31st August.

‘I always used to think that you’re nobody until somebody loves you,’ says Jess Glynne, singer, star, voice of the street. In her first

few years in the music industry, Jess has carved out a unique slot all of her own. Where others were contemplating the aftermath of heartache, she was always about standing on your own two feet. At the start of 2018, she took a listen back to her just completed second album, Always in Between. Like her blockbuster debut, I Cry When I Laugh, Jess brokers the hinterlands between pop, soul, R&B and house music on it. ‘Now I know that you have to be that person for yourself.’ She smiles as she says it. ‘It’s been a right old journey getting here, I can tell you.’

DNfourteen-Magazine

What’s On When she looks at the statistics that have marked her skyrocketing career so far, there is a look of mild disbelief on the face of Jess Glynne, as if this might have happened to someone else. I Cry When I Laugh is one of the defining British pop records of its era. At the time of writing it has been a chart staple for 138 weeks. It debuted at number one, spawning 12million worldwide singles sales, 39 weeks on the UK top 10, 2.5billion Spotify streams, a sold out UK arena tour, Brit, MTV: EMA, Ivor Novello, MOBO, Q and Glamour award nominations.

These are the facts. Underneath is Jess’s peerless ability to commune with an audience through song; to tell the truths young women want to hear about their concerns, the loves that build them up and let them down; the aspirations and dreams that might turn sour but you’ll smile through them anyway. From the beautiful, pared back, gospel inflected uplift of debut cut I’ll Be There, it is clear that Jess is ready to build on the momentous footwork put in on her first foray into fame.

Jess Glynne is a girl from North London who is noticeably free of airs and graces. The stardust she’s gathered since first appearing to the sound of an instantly recognisable string break surprises no-one more than Jess herself. She sings because she loves to and writes songs because she wants answers to her own emotional quandaries. Her powerhouse vocal and fearless delivery has captured so many under its spell. But for Jess, this was all just about learning who she is

makeup on Thursday/Because who I am is enough.

as a person. As she enters the cycle once more, braving herself for a second ride on the fame rollercoaster, she may just have reached that point.

Jess hired a house in the British countryside and took a band of friends and musicians away for the week. They spent the entire seven days in one another’s company, bouncing ideas around, jamming, writing together. By the end of the second day she had finished the addictive pop funk track, 1,2,3.

‘I could feel the mood shifting.’

Suddenly making music had stopped being a workplace and started feeling like a holiday.

The songs were now flying out of her. ‘And we got pretty much the whole album done in that week.’

This was the way records were made in the 70s and 80s, just some friends hanging out, away from the fray, marrying themselves to music in complete isolation. Jess had found her alchemical touch for turning out songs that mean something to her. ‘That’s the only way to connect,’ she says.

The cornerstone song of the record Thursday, which she wrote with Ed Sheeran, contains a faultlessly honest summation of its intention: I won’t wear

Jess Glynne has found peace through music, once more. ‘I’m in a great place now,’ she says.

‘I felt like I was in between a normal life and a famous life, this or that relationship, and it’s felt at times like I was lost.’ With age, comes understanding.

Over the last couple of years Jess has learned one of life’s vital lessons and put it all back into her second record. ‘It wasn’t that I was lost, at all. It was about learning to love myself.’

Jess Glynne promises to play all the hits and fan favourites including ‘Hold My Hand’, ‘Thursday’, ‘Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself’, ‘I’ll Be There’ and ‘Take Me Home’, plus some brand new tracks too.

For an action packed day out, why not celebrate a day of racing with friends and family, before dancing the night away with the delights of the fabulous Jess Glynne in concert finishing off a perfect Summer’s evening. This is a gig not to be missed…

Tickets for JESS GLYNNE at Doncaster Racecourse on Saturday 18th May 2019 are available from: Box Office No: 0844 249 1000 or the Website: http://www.vmstickets.co.uk/ Gates Open – 3.00pm On-Stage – 9.00pm (tbc) Ticket price - £42.50 Ages: All ages.

Gardening

Indoor plants that move out for the summer Look beyond garden centre standards to these flowering, fragrant plants that love a holiday in the sun

26

It’s that time of year when garden centres first start filling up with tray after tray of bedding plants, ramping up for a season of summer growing.

Despite often being considered terribly out of horticultural fashion, planting tropical or subtropical species such as fuchsias, begonias and pelargoniums outdoors for the warmer months is an effective way of providing a full season of interest that extends far beyond what many temperate plants, with their comparatively short flowering season, can ever hope to provide.

However, it is a shame that so few of us venture beyond

Please mention

Gardenia traditional favourites, for any cool-weather-tolerant indoor species can be treated in the same way. With the extra light and humidity, many houseplants positively revel in a summer holiday outdoors, plus you’ll save yourself a couple of quid in the process by getting a two-in-one option. And, as these plants can then be brought indoors when the first autumn frosts are expected, they can be a more

sustainable choice than buying a new batch of bedding every year.

The best multifunctional plants will thrive outdoors all summer and then continue to give you joy indoors into the depths of winter. All have a long flowering season and white flowers, so will fit into most planting schemes, and are powerfully fragrant to boot.

when responding to advertisers. Thank you.

Gardening Probably my favourite scent of all is the gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides); I find the fragrance from its double white flowers incredibly uplifting. I sit mine in a bowl on a patio table so they can be enjoyed up close, as they tend to be small, slow-growing plants.

If you are buying a new one, gently tease apart the three or four plants that have been crowded in a small pot to give a fuller, lusher appearance for retail.

Most often when people find them hard to grow, it is due to the competition between over-densely planted specimens, and nothing the unwitting home-grower is doing at all. Definitely worth a second try if you have failed before!

If it is larger statement shrubs you are after, try Arabian jasmine (Jasminum sambac). If you think you hate the smell of jasmine, perceiving it as overtly sweet and cloying, please do not be put off. Arabian jasmine is a different species to the more familiar garden form (J officinale), exchanging intense sweetness for a cleaner, brighter, more refreshing note.

They love the full sun of a summer patio outdoors and a bright conservatory in the winter. Keep vigorous new growth frequently pinched back to promote flower formation and also to make plants more compact.

Stephanotis floribunda Brongn Finally, there’s stephanotis, an exotic climber from Madagascar with bunches of trumpet-shaped flowers. You’ll find this trained on hoops in garden centres, but that is not how they are grown. The beautifully long, single strands of vine are wrapped over metal hoops for transport and retail display, but lose much of their wild Rapunzel look this way. Carefully unwind their coiled stem from the hoop and plant them in sheltered spot. They look incredible cascading from hanging baskets down fences or walls.
