The Trinity Spotlight November 2022 Issue

TRINITY SPOTLIGHT

The clocks have changed, the nights are drawing in, the leaves are mostly gone and the temperature is dropping. Welcome to winter .....again!! The changing seasons are inevitable - even though they seem to be becoming a bit less predictable as the years progress. And time is marching on, ever so quickly if feels, as we head towards year end and the festive season. Putting this issue together has made me realise that things in our world are heading back more to the way they used to be. This is the biggest Spotlight I have done in a good while - which is brilliant. What is even better is that there are several adverts for Christmas activities and events in this issue which we didn't have last year at this time. And there are 2 community pages with various groups wanting to let you know what they have planned in the run up to the festive season. So the 'new norm' and the 'old norm' are re-merging in many ways which can only be a step in the right direction in my view. The Spotlight always has been a way for the businesses who advertise on our pages to reach the local community and make you aware of their services. Then hopefully you will pick up the phone when you need that particular service - be it help in the garden, a new boiler, a lick of paint in time for Christmas or mortgage advice to name but a few. Since many of the businesses are small companies you will often be able to speak to the person who either owns the business or may be involved in any work they do for you. Much better in my opinion that automated answer machines where you have to listen to numerous options and press various buttons before you get to talk to someone. Or even worse you get an answering machine. Businesses out there are struggling though given the increased costs which are hitting everyone from all sides. So if you see a service you need please give them a call ..... and also let then know you saw them in the Spotlight. We all need a bit of a helping hand these days.

An Update From Councillor Stuart Dobbin

As I write this, my first contribution to Trinity Spotlight (as a first time Councillor), I thought I might reflect on the seven months (I cannot believe it is seven months already) since the election.

I was reflecting at a recent Owners Association meeting that in becoming a Councillor, I simply didn’t know what I didn’t know. The first few months have been a whirlwind of learning – both going through the extensive (at times seemingly continuous) training in how the organisation works as well as learning how to navigate the many problems that some of our fellow citizens are struggling with.

On this last point, I hope I have been able to help get positive outcomes for many, while others have been much more difficult to help. I believe that as I continue to understand both the Council and the extensive landscape of third sector organisations, I can increase my effectiveness in supporting all communities across Forth Ward.

To date, I have not held any of the traditional surgeries of a Ward politician. I decided early on that to accelerate my learning and provide best support, I would visit everyone who reached out to me. This is still my approach, but regrettably the number of constituents asking for help seems to increase on a daily basis, and increasingly I have to reach out by telephone.

I am a great believer that the best way to affect change in our communities is by harnessing activism and support from the community. Residents Associations and Community Councils, such as the very active Trinity CC can provide me with the support and backing I need to bring pressure for achieving outcomes.

An emotive issue is the forthcoming deployment of ‘bin hubs’. Along with Cllr Dijkstra-Downie, I met with Council officers to represent the views of a number of Trinity residents about the siting of these. While we were able to get a concession in Summerside Street to move the proposed hub across the road rather than outside residential windows, these hubs have been designed to address how we can minimise household waste going into landfill and optimising recycling and getting exceptions has not been possible – so far. As we start to live with these new hubs, please continue to raise any issues.

Looking ahead, we can anticipate the disruption of the tram extension coming to an end. As it reaches Newhaven, I believe it represents a great opportunity to stimulate the local economy and establish Newhaven as an important historic destination – not just to bring tourists down from the city centre, but to give the many folks who disembark from the cruise ships an interesting location where they can spend their holiday money. I would greatly appreciate ideas and views on what could be done.

Finally, while the media headlines reflect the constitutional nature of our politics with the odd, and I imagine for many disappointing, ‘alliance’ that is this administration, my daily reality and motivation is in making myself available to residents of Trinity, and across the Ward, to do what I can to support individual and community issues.

Selling your home in winter

Selling your home at this time of year has some benefits. There is less competition with fewer properties on the market and there are only usually serious buyers at this time of year.

We find that there can be an influx of enquiries just after new year, as this is a popular time to make plans for the year ahead. If you are considering selling in the winter months, here are some helpful tips on getting your home sale ready.

First impressions count

Stand back and look at your property from a buyer’s perspective. Do you need to have the guttering cleared? If it rains at viewings, you don’t want a leaking guttering putting people off. Does your front door need a fresh coat of paint? Maybe something eye catching to compensate for the lack of greenery/planting in the garden due to the time of year. That said some winter flowering plants or ever green shrubs strategically positioned at the door will transform your entrance, as well as having good outside lighting for evening appointments. Make sure other maintenance is up to date such as clearing leaves away, cleaning pathways which will neaten the area immediately. If it is icy outside remember to make sure pathways are safe for guests. x

On a cold and dull winter’s day, one of the most important things you can do to ensure you capture the attention of potential buyers is to have an inviting atmosphere in your

home. To step into a cosy, well-lit home is very welcoming and uplifting. Having all internal doors open with room lights on, allows viewers to see the flow of the property. Remember that viewers first impressions are made within a few seconds, so it is important to make them count. It is more difficult to have our windows open in winter, bringing in fresh air, so a few diffusers or candles around the property is ideal. If you have an open fire or wood burning stove, it is always a good idea to have this on for the viewing because it is so welcoming and we are usually drawn to a warm fire. x It’s the small touches that make the difference As with any time of year it is important to dress your home to show it at its best, so that buyers can visualise themselves living there. Keep your rooms clear from clutter, this will allow your viewers to concentrate on the space and how you have presented the room. To achieve this, try and find a balance between accessorising the room but not too personalised. .X

To summarise, the easiest way to test your home’s flow is to put yourself in the shoes of your buyers. Take yourself outside of the property and enter it as if for the first time. How does it feel? The attention to detail will make such an impression on your potential buyers, so be sure to do all you can to make your property memorable.

Natural Ways of Managing Anxiety

By Gillian Dalgliesh

We’re presently living in times of great unpredictability & fear. This is unsettling for our minds and it can be very difficult to navigate our lives without experiencing extreme anxiety & uncertainty. So I’d like to set out some simple techniques that you can use to establish better mental health and more emotional equilibrium.

The Benefits of routine & ritual to start the day … Daily routines and rituals bring a degree of predictability to an uncertain future. The daily habits & rituals can be as simple as things like awakening at the same time each day – whether week days and weekends, having a morning cuppa at the same time each day, walking the dog, exercising each morning, deep breathing each morning, as well as going to bed at the same time each evening. Having daily routines & rituals convinces our brains of constancy & predictability and helps to buffer us against uncertainty & anxiety.

It's about repetition - repetition imposes order on the chaos of everyday life. Our brains are programmed to constantly look for patterns and repetition. (Whether positive or negative). We learn by repetition – do you remember learning your times tables at school by rote? An identified & defined pattern at the start of each day convinces our mind of a sense of control and gives us a stable and positive approach to managing our day going forward.

It gives us a sense of calm, composure & wellbeing, and the repetitive nature of the routine/ rituals, gives us a confidence that all will be well – that we can manage all bumps in our roads going forward.

Keeping your blood sugar in check …

It can be very tempting to resort to comfort food when we’re feeling overwhelmed with worries & anxieties – things like chocolate, cakes, biscuits, crisps etc. However, this type of food can lead to blood sugar spikes & drops that make you irritable, jittery, uncomfortable & anxious. Try to plan in advance to create meals that are as nutritious as you can afford, and invest in some basic fruits, veggies and nuts or seeds that you can snack on if you need. This will keep your blood sugars consistent and lead to less swings in moods & emotions.

This article is abridged. If you would like to read the full article – which offers many additional simple & natural tools & techniques for helping to manage anxiety, then hop onto my website www.changewithgillian.com for a free download of the complete article.

You’re not alone! Many of us are experiencing different forms of anxiety and it’s important to know that help is out there. Hypnotherapy is a fast, safe & effective way to help manage our emotions and restore our equilibrium.

Christmas at the Botanics, the magical, botanical illuminated trail, to host Edinburgh premiere of global

artist

With autumn here and the winter season fast approaching, the countdown is well and truly on to the launch of this year’s Christmas at the Botanics which will open to the public on 17 November.

Set within the surroundings of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE), the onemile trail includes new installations specially created by world-renowned artists, with the designers involved being unveiled. These new installations will feature alongside what have become festive favourites on the trail including a spectacular projection onto the front of Inverleith House and the captivating Christmas Cathedral, a tunnel of sparkling lights. New for the 2022 trail are 12 low LED illuminated flora called Lilies, each measuring one metre tall. The installation has been created by world-renowned artist Jig Cochrane, founder of Jigantics. This will be the first time that his designs have been on a large scale display in Edinburgh, after showing them at venues around the globe since 1989, before Jigantics was established in 2007.

The Fire Garden will make its triumphant return to the trail this year. Including 120 glowing cans of light creating a warm and cosy illusion and taking the edge off the crisp Edinburgh air, the installation will be accompanied by lanterns of various sizes as provided by Mandylights. This year’s enchanting trail runs on selected nights from 17 November until 30 December, with tickets available to buy now.

Kari Coghill, Director of Enterprise and Communication at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, said: “Christmas at the Botanics has become a milestone moment in the public’s festive calendar. Set against the beauty of the Garden, the new light installations will bring something fresh and magical to the trail. Seeing the Garden as you wouldn’t normally is a whole new sensory experience. I am particularly looking forward to seeing the giant lilies, but as ever, there is something for everyone to enjoy during their visit after dark. This year’s trail will take visitors past but not into the location of our landmark restoration project, Edinburgh Biomes, now underway to avoid the loss of valuable plant species in our living collection. Visitors to the trail contribute to our wider work to address the challenges of biodiversity loss and the climate emergency. Profits from ticket sales support our plant research and conservation efforts in Scotland and around the world.”

Jonathan Marks, Director at Raymond Gubbay, the division of Sony Music which is promoting the event, said:“Bringing new installations to the trail is exciting – for both new customers and for our regulars. With many festive favourites also returning, visitors can be sure their evening will be an illuminating adventure and lots of fun.”

Tickets for this year’s show are on sale now. For further ticket information, pricing and timings, please visit www.rbge.org.uk/christmas. Visitors are encouraged to book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Christmas at the Botanics is one of 14 illuminated trails staged across the UK by leading events promoter Raymond Gubbay Limited, a division of Sony Music. Christmas at the Botanics is presented in partnership with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and creative producer Culture Creative.

Trinity Occasional Pipers’ Society

The name says it all. Trinity Occasional Pipers’ Society, TOPS, are a small group of pipers of all abilities from North Edinburgh, who meet once a week on a Monday evening to enjoy playing the bagpipes in a relaxed environment. We have been playing together as a pipe band for around thirty years and we are looking to attract new members from around the local area. The emphasis is on enjoying playing the pipes as a friendly group, rather than having the commitment and stress of competing as a band in competitions. This allows members to attend practices as and when they can around their work or family commitments. Most of our members learned the pipes at school, the Forces, Scouts or Boys Brigade and then struggled to keep playing due to lack of practice space (they are noisy instruments) or due to the commitments of daily life. Our ethos is that sporadic or occasional attendance is fine and this suits many of our members. That said, most of us turn up each week and enjoy meeting the other members of TOPS, sometimes there is more talking than playing! We have a good repertoire of tunes which is based around all the well-known tunes that most pipers will have played at some time or another. TOPS has also taken part in the Leith Pageant, picnics at Queen Street Gardens and the occasional wedding or celebration, but attendance is voluntary So if you have a set of pipes that has languished in a corner or under a bed for many years and you fancy giving them a tune up, why not get in touch - you’d be most welcome. The band generally meets on a Monday evening at the Royal Forth Yacht Club, Granton Harbour EH5 1HF from 7pm till 9pm. For more information, a friendly chat or to join in, please contact Peter Hall.

Follow in the Steps of the Fishwife

There are many words, unique to Scots, which convey in a single word a concept that would take a phrase to do in Standard English — ‘smirl’ meaning soft but persistent rain; ‘scunner’, which is both verb and noun, meaning disgusted irritation; and, to complete a trio of alliteration, stravaig, which means to wander aimlessly, i.e, not pointlessly but without a planned itinerary.

The history and heritage of Newhaven is wide and deep. For centuries, this community was fiercely independent, as much out of necessity as need. It is unique in many aspects from other fishing communities up and down the coast of Scotland.

Newhaven Heritage, founded originally in 2007 as a consequence of the closure of the once-popular community museum, exists to preserve, protect and promote the heritage of the village. Newhaven Heritage considers that a museum is not a viable option, given its proposed location within the old Victoria School, and took the decision to use the village itself as a living museum in order to tell the story of Newhaven and its place in Scotland’s story.

The solution was to develop a virtual heritage trail using the opportunities offered by the internet with 24 stops along a pre-determined route. Being true to the concept of the serendipitous nature of a stravaig, the Route Stops can be visited sequentially, or done

in parts, or the Route Stops can be visited randomly — whatever takes your fancy.

At each Route Stop, the Stravaiger will find a QR plate, usually mounted onto a lamp post or conveniently located railing. By using a smartphone, the QR code will lead you directly to a web page that shows that location as it was in bygone days along with a description. Of course, these pages can be accessed at your home computer at www. newhavenstravaigs.scot but by “walking the walk”, you will have more fun and a better understanding of Old Newhaven

At each Route Stop, supplementary pages can be accessed carrying further information pertinent to that location. For example, at Route Stop #1 (the Fishmarket), you can find out how the fish was auctioned and shared out, images of how the market used to look like internally, all about working fishwives, the Pier Parliament, where the retired or infirm worthies would gather to sort out the cares of the world, and even a history of the Edinburgh Police Box. Next year, a multi-lingual audio dimension will be added to the Stravaig.

The map can be collected from the police box at Newhaven Harbour on a Saturday morning when it is staffed by Newhaven Heritage personnel or by downloading it from the website noted above. For more information, please contact us at newhavenheritage @gmail.com.

Life is a Balancing Act

By Tracy Griffen

Both metaphorically and literally, we need balance to progress in life. In a physical sense, having good balance helps keep you upright and from falling over. As we age, we need to practise our balance. In 2017, I wrote this column about why balance training is important for us all as we get older, today I’d like to describe some simple equipment you can use at home to practise your balance. We’ll start with the easiest.

Single Leg Exercises: simply by practicing balancing on one leg, you use your deep core muscles, no equipment required. Balance with eyes open, holding onto a secure piece of furniture, or a wall – a kitchen counter is an ideal height to hold onto.

Stability Disc: moving up to an air filled disc, looking a little like a balloon cushion. You can either sit on it (good for alleviating back pain), or stand on it (replicating an uneven surface).

Wobble Board / Balance Board: The next level up is an adjustable board that you stand on. Place feet parallel on either far edge of the board (wide stance) to make it easier. Stick your arms out and pull in your tummy.

Swiss Ball: my favourite piece of kit. You can sit on it, stretch on it, and even do a weights workout on it. The downside is that they are rather large to have in the house. But if you work from a laptop at home, have a go sitting on the ball. You’ll burn more calories as you work, and your abs will get a workout keeping you upright on the ball.

Bosu: a cross between a ball and a wobble board, it’s half a ball with a flat side. Some

people love them, it’s down to personal taste.

Foam Roller: A long foam roller not only is excellent for a spine stretch (if you lie along the length of it) but balancing on the roller uses (and stretches) deep postural muscles.

Ensure there is a clear area around you before you start balancing. Move any hazards out of the way, it will make it easier to balance if there’s nothing you can crash into! Start with a minute and build up. All of the above equipment can be bought online or at Powerhouse Fitness, Antigua Street (top of Elm Row).

Personal Trainer Tracy Griffen runs a private fitness studio just off Leith Walk and can teach you balance exercises that you can do from home.

Phone Tracy for a chat about your personal exercise requirements, on 07743 741088 or see adjacent advert.
