Hobbies Ten Tips To Bring Your Treasures Back To Life

By Kate McLelland Many years ago in London’s famous Portobello market, I came across a grimy old box made of wood. At first glance didn’t look like anything special, but on closer inspection I saw that some fine veneer work was visible in places.

“Ten quid. A bit of wire wool and some washing up liquid straight out of the bottle, and that’ll come up lovely.”

It sounded unlikely, but I paid the stallholder and took the box home, where I nervously began to rub the surface with a steel wool pad. As the dirt melted away I uncovered an intricate inlaid marquetry design, and my grimy box eventually emerged as a beautiful antique that I’ve loved ever since.

Although I was successful, I suspect most experts hearing of my method would tear out their hair.

Remember these points before starting your own projects: • Some antiques are valued for their patina and certain items – such as old coins – should never be polished.

• Check very old items for cracks that may break during cleaning.

• If in any doubt, do some research or ask an expert.

• Avoid using harsh 6

chemicals/abrasive cloths.

Ten tips for restoring your vintage bargains: • To remove general grime from old prints, gently roll a piece of doughy, fresh bread over the surface.

• To remove old, rusted-in screws, first clean around screw head edges, heat the screw head with a hot air gun, then the turn screw a little TIGHTER, before undoing (use caution with heat if the object has a varnished or painted finish).

• Age marks on porcelain can be removed by soaking overnight in baby bottle sterilizing liquid.

• Use Steradent tablets to get rid of water marks in old glass vases.

• For a bright shine, polish chrome with baby oil and cotton wool.

• To clean a gilded object, use a clean white cotton cloth, cotton balls or Q-tips, and the barest amount of clean, cool water. After you have dampened the cleaning material, remove excess moisture on a dry piece of cloth before you apply it.

• Rub undiluted household bleach into dirty hairline cracks in pottery and rinse off, to reduce the crack’s visibility.

• Use half a lemon and salt

to clean brass and copper items. Apply, rinse off, dry carefully and clean with impregnated wadding, polishing finally with a soft cloth.

• To repair pottery items, clean the pieces with a mixture of mild dishwashing liquid and warm water and let them dry completely. Apply clear, slow-setting two part epoxy glue and hold the pieces in place with modelling clay so they don’t fall apart whilst drying.

• Remove dust and dirty marks on old leather by dipping an artist’s paintbrush in methylated spirits. Use sparingly, working on a small area at a time.

Whenever you carry out a restoration project, you should decide whether you want to keep the item or sell it on before you get started. If you want to keep it, you can restore it to your personal taste. If you’re selling, it’s wise to do some research on the current market before you start restoration.

Although it may seem strange, some buyers may actually want the rust stains and marks of use that show an item has been handled and loved for many years.

And Another Thing...

by Tom Hughes Follow Tom on Twitter @groomsdaybook

I returned home from the health centre after my annual MOT to be confronted by my Dearly Beloved’s demand for the prognosis. “So Tom, how did your check up go?”

“A complete waste of time.

These new age medical fads will have me in an early grave.”

“In other words, she told you to go on a diet?”

“I think she muttered something about broccoli.”

“Did she measure your BMI?” “What didn’t she measure? Anyway I think the old quack was down in the dumps, she kept saying things were morbid.”

After a trip to a large out of town sports retailer (which looked to me like one big jumble sale), I turned up at the sparkly new gym freshly clad in Lycra. I spotted my reflection in the reception mirror. I looked like a shrink-wrapped WC Fields. A little boy dressed in crepe paper rustled towards me. I was about to ask him if he was a school boy on the run from the Wag Man when he cheerily piped up, “Hi I’m Jason, I’m going to be showing you around the gym.”

Sarah prised the card from my fingers. “A gym membership? You’re joining a gym?”

And so we entered a vast cathedral of glistening stainless steel and skin tight leggings. I strolled past all manner of appalling contraptions.

Finally, we arrived in a dark corner of the gym, the floor of which was covered by squishy blue mats.

“Doctors orders

“So Tom, if you would like

“As in obese? Right that’s it, no more biscuits for you. What’s that in your hand?”

apparently. And less of the sniggers please.”

to warm up?”

“Warm up? Right, well you can either turn down the air conditioning or I can go and get my jumper.”

Jason looked worried.

“OK, I’ll go and get Nigel.

He’s going to do your induction.”

It was then I spotted him, bounding over like a Super Hero straight from the set of Avengers Age of Ultron. Enviously I observed how Nigel suited Lycra a lot better than did I. “Hi Tom! My name’s Nigel …let me ask you some health questions, we don’t want you croaking on one of our machines and suing us, now do we?”

His laughter evaporated in the cold dry air of the gym. “Seriously, do you work out?”

“The last time I worked anything out was the clock on our new oven and that left me pretty breathless, I can tell you.”

(Cont’d on Pg 18)

17

“Err OK, have you ever suffered from any of the following - angina, asthma, arthritis, slipped disc, joint pain, calcium deficiency?”

warm up finished now let’s get you on one of these wicked machines.”

“Great! I’m just in the middle of some bicep curls.”

“The warm up! You mean there’s more?”

“I hope he’s not working you too hard.”

“Not as yet…” I said, warily.

“Oh yes! Another forty five minutes more.”

“Great! Right, let’s jump on this bad boy.”

“Not for me there isn’t sunshine, that’s quite enough for one day, thank you.”

And with that a familiar voice was overheard: “Same again old chap?”

Bad boy? I mouthed to myself. And so we set off on what can only be described as a Penrose Staircase of endless agony. After ten minutes of purgatory I held up my hand in protest. Nigel stopped the machine.

“Are you alright Tom?”

18

“But Tom, don’t you want rock hard buns?”

“If I want rock hard buns I’ll go home and fetch my bread making machine down from the loft.”

“Thank goodness that’s over!” I gasped.

Half an hour later I answered a call from Sarah.

“Right Tom, that’s the

“How’s it going?”

“Yes, why not?”

A pause then Sarah, her voice hardening, said “Tom…are you in the pub?”

“Sorry love, got to go.

It’s my round. But if it’s any consolation, these vegetable crisps are broccoli flavour, so how’s that?”

Well, as any athlete will tell you, it’s never advisable to over train.

UK’s Oldest Conservation Charity Aids Restoration of Leith Water Wheel The Mills Section of SPAB (Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings) has awarded a grant to Bonnyhaugh Lane Residents Association to assist with restoration of their historic mill wheel. The Bonnyhaugh Lane wheel is the only surviving example of dozens which once powered mills along the Water of Leith.

The houses in Bonnyhaugh Lane were originally mill buildings, dating back to the 17th century. When the present homes were constructed from the old buildings in the 1980s, the water wheel from the former Bonnington Mills, off Newhaven Road, was moved to the Bonnyhaugh site. The wheel now sits in the former mill lade. Bonnyhaugh Lane residents are tasked with maintaining and repairing the historic mill wheel.

Chairman of the residents association Anne Meikle said: “We are very grateful for this contribution from the SPAB Mills Section which helps to offset the significant cost of maintaining the wheel. Recent work has included replacing with new timber, paddle sets one to four which had deteriorated beyond repair. Over the summer months, the remaining 18 paddle sets were removed and then reinstated with new bolts following general maintenance work - sanding, repairing and weatherproofing. These paddle sets will however require to be replaced with new timber in a phased replacement plan in approximately three years time.”

SPAB was founded by the artist William Morris in 1877 to care for and preserve the UK’s architectural heritage; it is now oldest and most technically expert national organisation helping to save old buildings.

The Mills Section, established in 1931, protects and promotes windmills and watermills. Jon Cook, Chairman of the Mills Section said: “We are delighted to support Bonnyhaugh Lane Residents Association 24

in their careful efforts to maintain the millwheel and to showcase the area’s important milling heritage”. For further details of the SPAB Mills Section, visit www.spabmills.org.uk.

What Television Diet Shows Teach Us

By Tracy Griffen

January is a dark month during which many of us are still in semi-hibernation. It’s also a month of really good TV viewing. I have been bingeing on the latest diet shows, including ‘Trust Me I’m a Doctor’ and ‘How To Lose Weight Well’ and thought this month I would summarise my findings and add my tuppence worth.

28

your personal trainer, or a buddy who is also attempting to become healthier. I joke that I am a ‘professional nag’ as I check each week as to how rigorously my PT clients are sticking to their new intentions.

Firstly, most of the guinea pigs on these shows are self-confessed junk food ‘addicts’ who have let their habits slip over time. Introducing a new way of eating, with the pressure of being monitored by a television camera, mean that the subjects are more likely to stick to it. And see results.

Secondly, most of the diets trialled on these TV shows involve participants sticking to fresh natural food and cutting out alcohol, sweets, cakes, processed food and junk in general. You do this, and cook your food mostly from scratch, and your waistline will get smaller. It’s not rocket science that food you prepare at home is most likely going to be better for your body than processed food that has lots of inferior industrial type ingredients.

So lesson number 1, be accountable to someone, whether it’s a camera crew,

Finally, the most successful trials take place over the course of a month or more.

It’s nice to see broadcast that crash diets usually don’t work and are often a horrible experience (as they exclude so many food groups). The diet industry would not be such a money-spinner if fad diets actually did work.

Making smaller changes over a longer period of time will see more meaningful results in permanent svelteness. Eat well, move more and enjoy yourself doing it is the key to success. And drop me a line if you need a hand with it.

Planning For The Time When Independence Ends

by Kate McLelland It’s one of those lifechanging moments. You’ve just received a phone call telling you that an elderly relative has been admitted to hospital with a fall injury or an illness from which they are unlikely to fully recover.

You may have been anticipating this day for a number of years as you watched your loved one become less and less able to cope. But it can still come as a shock to realise that the normal things you did to help, such as popping round to do some housework or shopping, will no longer be enough.

There are two options available to families facing this crucial moment. Either arrange for your relative to be admitted to a residential care home, where they can receive round-the-clock attention, or make space in your own house so they can live with you.

Where a parent is concerned, there’s often a strong feeling of guilt associated with these decisions. It’s highly likely that you’ve never discussed what will happen when your 34

mum or dad become unable to look after themselves, and there may have been an unspoken assumption that when the time comes, they will move in with you. But is your home actually suitable to shelter and care for a vulnerable older person with medical problems and/or limited mobility?

Few houses are designed with disability in mind, so adapting your home needs careful thought. It’s also sensible to plan ahead, as someone who is reasonably mobile at the moment may not be able to move so freely in a couple of years.

lift is to reconfigure the ground floor of your house, although this can prove costly as you will not only need to find suitable space for a bedroom, but create toilet and bathing facilities as well.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS If mobility is a problem it’s essential that you provide a bedroom with an en-suite toilet (and preferably a shower, too). Most elderly people need to go to the bathroom several times in the night and the further they have to walk, the greater the chance they will trip or fall.

WILL THE STAIRS BE A PROBLEM? Unless you happen to live in a bungalow, the first thing you’ll need to consider is whether or not your loved one will be able to use the stairs. Last year, Age UK commissioned research into the cost of installing a stair lift and found that the price varied between £4,940 and £5,469 for a straight staircase, with approximately £500 added for a curved stair lift.

Alternatively, you could consider providing a commode for night-time use, with various models costing between £25 and £180.

The alternative to a stair

Make sure there are no

A reasonably-sized bedroom is essential: at the very least you’ll need space for a single bed, a stable armchair with good back support and a small table, as well as storage for any equipment that might be required.

rugs or other obstacles on the floor that could cause trip hazards. It’s particularly important that the area between the toilet and the bed is kept clear, and best to position any objects with sharp edges away from this route in case of falls.

The use of bedrails is not recommended, as in recent cases they have caused injury and even death. If you have concerns about your relative’s welfare at night, install a baby alarm so you will hear if they need help.

ADAPTING YOUR FURNITURE A seat at normal height may be too low for somebody who has mobility issues, so you might want to consider buying raisers (around £40 for a pack of four) for the

36

items of furniture they will use. As the name suggests, raisers simply fit onto the feet of beds and chairs to add height.

A wing chair with arms – such as a classic Queen Anne fireside chair - is ideal for the lounge.

Alternatively you can buy a specialist model, made with anti-bacterial fabric. This chair, available fromwww. nationalofficefurniture supplies.co.uk, is waterproof and stain-resistant with adjustable handrails and costs around £250.

If your relative is a wheelchair user you’ll also need to think about widening doorways and installing ramps. Don’t forget that some mobility devices may be available

through the NHS, either free or at a reduced cost (although you may have to wait to obtain them).

If all of this sounds daunting, you’ll find there are many agencies and voluntary organisations who can help. Go online to sites such as www. myagingparent.com, get in touch with Age UK (www. ageuk.org or call 0800 169 2081) or speak to your GP or local authority.

Finally, if you sense that your relative is approaching the time when they will need constant support, don’t wait until things reach a crisis point. By putting sensible plans in place now you can ease the transition, saving you both a lot of worry and stress later on.

Cake and Bake Iced Orange Bundt Cake This delicious citrus flavoured sponge is made in a classic ring-shaped bundt tin. You’ll find them in most good cook shops and larger supermarkets, or you can use an ordinary 1.5L capacity ring mould tin instead.

Ingredients: • 200g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing • 300g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting • 200g caster sugar • 3 large eggs, beaten • 1/2 tsp baking powder • Finely grated zest of 1 large orange • 100ml fresh orange juice • 100-150ml milk

FOR THE ICING • 100g icing sugar • Approx 2 tbsp fresh orange juice

Serves 10 Ready in 1 hour 30 minutes, plus cooling and setting times 38

1. Preheat the oven to 170C, 325F, Gas 3. Thoroughly

grease a 22-23cm Bundt tin (measured across the top) with butter then lightly dust with flour, tipping out the excess.

2. Put the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat

together until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs, then sift over the flour and baking powder and fold in along with the orange zest and juice. Fold in enough of the milk to give a soft dropping consistency.

3. Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin and

gently level the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the cake is risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes then carefully turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

4. For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl then beat

in the orange juice to make a smooth and thick icing.

Drizzle the icing over the top of the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides. Leave in a cool place until set.

TIP

Make sure to grease and flour the bundt tin thoroughly or you may find it tricky to turn the cake out. Use the tip of a small palette knife or silicon spatula to gently loosen the edges of the cake first.
