Keech Garden Makeover

TV Gardener Adam Frost Opens New Courtyard Garden For Hospice Gardeners’ World presenter Adam Frost has transformed a Luton hospice’s drab concrete yard into a colourful garden paradise for seriously ill adults and children.

The Courtyard Garden, which is a joint project between Keech Hospice Care and Greenfingers Charity, has been officially opened by the landscape designer today and he said he can’t wait to see everyone’s reaction.

“I hope it surprises people to start with and then puts a smile on their faces. It’s a space people can use in many different ways,” said Adam.

Until now the garden at Keech Hospice Care, which supports adults from Luton and South Bedfordshire, and children from Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Milton Keynes, has remained relatively unchanged since the hospice opened twenty-six years ago.

Adam said he designed the new garden to be a vision of bright colours, with a water at its centre and chose bold circular patterns to take visitors on a journey.

“I didn’t want to be too clever, but it’s not just any place we are creating. It’s a space that mums and dads and their kids will use and where patients can look out to when they’re being cared for and having their complementary therapy.

www.thevinemagazine.co.uk

“I’ve tried to bring the wildlife and the garden inside the hospice and give patients here at Keech Hospice Care a place that is calm and reflective,” said Adam.

Liz Searle, Chief Executive Officer at Keech Hospice Care, said the new garden will give patients and their families a space to relax at a time in their lives when it matters the most.

“It’s the perfect place to just sit and be still. It provides a beautiful space for the opportunity of reflecting, relaxing and escapism not only for patients but also our excellent care team and volunteers. At a time when a person needs peace and quiet or when families want to sit, laugh and make memories – Adam’s garden will be there.

“We all love the bright colours of the garden as we are a hospice full of life! It’s a real oasis, it’s magical. We’ll be showing it off to the public at KeechFest on Sunday, 10 September 2017 as we invite everyone to join us for an afternoon of live music here at Keech Hospice Care.”

The garden was designed by Adam Frost and Homebase Academy students working with landscapers Bespoke Outdoor Spaces.

Keech Hospice Care, which relies on the community for 70 per cent of the £5.6million it needs every year to survive, applied to Greenfingers Charity for the garden back in 2015 and was awarded funding raised by Homebase through the 5p carrier bag tax.

The Courtyard Garden will be open to the public to view at KeechFest on Sunday, 10th September. Tickets are limited for the event which also features an afternoon of live music and can be brought at www.keech.org.uk/keechfest or 01582 707940.

Adventurous campers can pitch their tents at the UK’s largest zoo this summer Nature Night Camping – Saturday 5th, 12th and 19th August and Saturday 2nd September, 2017 Lovers of the great outdoors can pitch up their tents and sleep under the stars at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo this summer with a brand new wild camping experience.

Running on selected dates during August and September, Nature Night Camping invites visitors to sleepover at the UK’s largest Zoo alongside its 3,500 animals.

Once the Zoo gates have shut for the day, lucky campers will pitch their tents and be treated to a fascinating talk on how best to spot the Zoo’s animals at night-time.

As darkness falls on the 600-acre Zoo, campers will have a chance to put their newly-learned wildlife-watching tips to the test and head out for a torch-lit expedition to discover which animals are still awake.

Guests will then return to camp to settle down for a peaceful night’s sleep. With no need to set an alarm, the roars of lions, squawks of parrots and trumpeting of elephants will ring around at first light.

Breakfast will be served at the Zoo’s Wildbite Café before campers enjoy an exclusive morning tour of Whipsnade before the Zoo opens to the public.

Overnight guests are then free to enjoy the rest of their day at the Zoo, as entry is included in the camping price.

Limited spaces are available for this wild sleepover; to find out more and book your tent pitch visit www.zsl.org.

Food

Chickpea fattet,

iced salad, cumin and fennel seed yoghurt We’ve had a run of desserts in this series of recipes so it is time to redress the balance with this brilliant vegetarian dish.

A fattet is a Lebanese spiced stew, made up of complex sweet flavours and spices. It’s a really wonderful dish, which will satisfy vegetarians and meat eaters alike. This version was created by Alfie Smith, a very talented young head chef at the Rump & Wade in Stevenage. He finishes off the stew with a very contrasting crispy iced salad.

This dish may look like a winter warmer but it is surprisingly refreshing and satisfying even in the hotter months.

Serves 2-3

-----------------------------

Ingredients

Chickpea Fattet: 400g chickpeas in water, drained & washed 1 spanish onion, finely chopped 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 5g Fresh mint, finely sliced 1 cinnamon stick 1/2 tsp chilli flakes 1/2 tsp ground mixed spice 1tbsp pomegranate molasses 1 tin of chopped tomatoes 1 vegetable stock cube 200ml water 10ml vegetable oil Iced Salad: 1 khol-rabi, thinly sliced 1 red pepper, thinly sliced 1/2 small white cabbage, thinly sliced 5g corriander Cumin yoghurt: 100g Greek yoghurt 15g ground cumin 1 lemon juiced 5g fennel seeds

How To Make 1. Take a medium heavy based sauce pan and place it on a

medium heat. Put the cinnamon stick, chili flakes and mixed spice into the pan.

2. Dry roast the spices on the medium heat for 2-3 minutes.

3. Add 10ml of vegetable oil, onions and garlic. Sweat for 3-4 minutes until softened.

4.

Now add the chickpeas, chopped tomato, stock cube, pomegranate molasses and water. Leave to simmer down for 40-45minutes stirring frequently.

5.

Take thinly sliced, kohlrabi, cabbage and red pepper and place in iced water (you want about 1/3 ice to 2/3 water).

6.

Pick the leaves from the coriander and add them to the ice water

7. Leave for 5-10minutes to crisp up in the iced water.

8. In a dry frying pan roast off the cumin for 2-3minutes take off the heat and squeeze the juice of one lemon. Add cumin and lemon paste to the yoghurt and the fennel.

Serve the fattet with the iced vegetables and the yoghurt.

You can also serve it with couscous or bulgur wheat too.

Money Matters By Martin Lewis

TAX FREE

Childcare Scheme

@martinslewis Parents take note! There’s a new kid on the block that could mean up to £2,000 to help towards childcare costs. The Tax Free Childcare scheme is to be gradually rolled out to everyone across the year. Yet with a range of childcare help already out there, you need to ensure you’re picking the right one.

Thankfully figuring that out isn’t too difficult. First, see if you’re due free childcare, if not, go for free cash towards it, if not, grab a scheme that effectively discounts the cost. So I’m going to take you through it in that order, rather than just focus on the changes.

When I’m talking about childcare, it’s worth noting the definition for this purpose is specifically Ofsted (or equivalent in the rest of the UK) registered nurseries, nannies, childminders, after-school clubs, or summer school (even if that’s all they go to).

For full information on all the options, see www.mse.me/childcarecosts

Here’s a quick rundown of the main points…

1

Are you eligible for what will be up to 30 hours a week of FREE childcare?

Currently, in England for at least 38 weeks a year everyone with a three or four-year-old (or two year old if you’ve low income), is entitled to 15 hours a week of free state or private nursery childcare. From September 2017, this will increase to 30 hours a week, but only if you earn at least £115 a week (if a couple both parents must) but neither parent earns over £100,000 a year.

18 www.thevinemagazine.co.uk

This isn’t without controversy though, as some nursery providers argue it won’t happen as the Government isn’t paying them enough – or they may ask parents to top it up, or increase costs to children who don’t qualify to make up the shortfall.

Similar schemes, but with variations on hours, are available across the UK. For info see: www.scottishfamilies www.gov.wales/topics/people-and-communities/ people/children-and-young-people/parentingsupport-guidance/childcare/help-paying-forchildcare/?lang=en www.nidirect.gov.uk/information-and-services/childcare/childcare-benefits-tax-credits-and-other-helpworking-parents

Discounted childcare via vouchers but sign up soon.

The Childcare Vouchers scheme is run via employers, and you can only do it if your employer offers it – thankfully many do, especially bigger firms.

What usually happens is your employer will let you trade in salary for vouchers. For example, a basic-rate

Money Matters

By Martin Lewis

taxpayer can swap £1,000 of salary, which after tax and national insurance is only £700ish in your pay packet, for £1,000 in childcare vouchers. You can then use them to pay for childcare. So you’re up £300 per £1,000. Full help on this at: www.mse.me/childvouchers Any parent can do this, but vouchers are gradually being phased out due to the launch of the Tax Free Childcare. If you’re not part of a scheme by April 2018, you won’t be able to sign up after, so if it’s your winner (see point 5) don’t miss that. Even if you don’t need the vouchers, just get a very small amount to start, then you can increase it later. CHECK

Discounted childcare via the new TaxFree Childcare scheme

The new Tax-Free Childcare scheme is being rolled out to parents of the youngest children this month and should be available to all parents by the end of 2017. As it’s nothing to do with your employer, it’s likely many of those who couldn’t get vouchers, including the self-employed, will welcome it.

For every 80p you put in a special account to pay for childcare at the Government-backed NS&I, the Government will add 20p up to a total of £8,000 per child.

So that’s £2,000 added.

Yet it’s only available if you earn over £115 a week (both of you must, if a couple) and neither earns over £100,000. Full info on the new scheme at: www.mse.me/taxfreechildcare.

Vouchers v Tax-Free Childcare!

You can’t have both, so which wins?

This isn’t easy, I’ve done a full summary at: www.mse.me/taxfreechildcare#compare but in a nutshell…

Are you eligible for both schemes?

With childcare vouchers your employer has to offer it; but if it does, you can get it, regardless of how much you earn or whether your partner works or not (if a couple and both parents employers offer it, you can both get it).

Yet, anyone can get Tax-Free Childcare, but there’s an income limit. You (both if a couple) have to meet the £115 income threshold and can’t earn over £100,000.

Which is best if you’re eligible for both? This

is where it gets really complex. There are two elements.

(1) The maximum gain from Tax free childcare is

much bigger, up to £2,000 per CHILD (eg, £6,000 for three kids), while vouchers is just £930 per PARENT for a basic-rate taxpayer (£624 for higher-rate, £590 for top-rate).

(2) Yet the discount from Tax Free Childcare is just 20% off, while it’s bigger with vouchers at 32% for basic rate taxpayers (42% higher-rate, 47% top-rate).

So those with bigger costs and more kids will tend to be better with Tax Free Childcare, while those with smaller costs and less kids, are better off with vouchers.

Range Rover Evoque

By Rob Auchterlonie © Wheelwrite.co.uk 2017

HSE Dynamic; Price: £43,200; 2.0 TD4 turbodiesel, 180hp, 430Nm Nine speed automatic Four wheel drive Top speed: 121mph, 0-60mph: 9.7secs Fuel: Urban 42.2, extra urban 55.4, combined 49.6 CO2: 149g/km

Best looking SUV around?

No contest really – it has to be the Range Rover Evoque.

It’s been a bit of a head turner since launch a few years back, and the enhancements on the latest versions just add to the package.

The end result is a classy looking machine that has proved to be the entry into Range Rover ownership for many, not that joining the club comes cheaply. The HSE Dynamic model here sits in the pages of the brochure at £43,200 but it’s not put people off.

Sales have been and still are good, the only down side being that you’re not guaranteed any degree of exclusivity in buying one.

They’re about as common as a red or blue football shirt on Merseyside, where the workforce was boosted to meet the demand.

In profile it might look as if someone big and heavy has sat on the rear of the roof but it’s rightly become one of the biggest selling products in the Jaguar/Land Rover line-up.

Its falling roofline and rising

“

a car that exudes desirability

beltline gives it an aggressive, almost-coupe like appearance but it’s unmistakably a Range Rover.

The wisdom is that 90 per cent of Evoque buyers will be new to the brand, younger and decidedly more female that the traditional customer base. Probably blonde So they’re probably going to be more worried about the height of kerb it’ll negotiate in Kensington or outside the school gates than its ability off the beaten track.

They don’t tend to shout so much about what it can do off road these days, but it can and it will. I know because the original launch was up and down some hilly braes in southern Scotland, where it ably displayed its credentials. When the going got tough, the Evoque kept going – as you’d expect from a car steeped with the Land Rover heritage.

20 www.thevinemagazine.co.uk

”

Baby Rangie is sumptuously equipped, and is a car that exudes desirability from its chic exterior to the beautifully finished, neatly stitched and upholstered interior, with supportive seats that serve up a great driving position. There’s a high quantity of quality toys in the cabin.

On the road the response is car like, the driving position erring on the off-roader side. Ride quality is firm but not uncomfortable over bumps and potholes, cornering grip is good, and with powerful brakes, it feels safe at all times.

What can you say? It wins the battle with the rest on looks alone, and It drives just as well as it looks.

It’s expensive but that is highly unlikely to put people off owning one.

Evoque is unashamedly aimed at people who have never been customers before. They might never even have been in a Land Rover dealership before. But when they do they’ll appreciate this mini sport utility vehicle for what it is – a high end quality product.

Health & Fitness As a personal trainer I have found that there are three common problems people have when they want to improve their fitness or to lose weight. Let’s explore these scenarios and look into why I hear the same excuses time and again. Which scenario do you fall into?

Scenario 1

Scenario 2

Scenario 3

“I know what I should be doing but I can’t be bothered to do it”

“I have tried everything but nothing works for me”

“I have no willpower or motivation”

Finding the motivation to exercise can be hard, especially if you are unfit and your body struggles to walk up the stairs without getting short of breath! Or maybe your mates are asking you to go to the pub which is a much more desirable way to spend the evening and what about the winter when it’s freezing outside? Who wants to get out of bed at 6am and go for a run in the dark? Nobody! And that's why it's difficult to get started.

A personal trainer should be setting you continuous goals that are achievable within a realistic time frame. Everybody wants to achieve things in life; we want to have a successful career, a happy family, nice holidays and a lovely home. Often our health & fitness get put to the bottom of the pile and rarely prioritised. Motivation and support is the key and by working with a professional you will be equipped to identify goals and better still, achieve them!

A recent survey showed that the average 45 year old has tried 61 different diets! If this sounds familiar to you and yet you still do not have the body you want than something isn’t working. The reason? Diets don’t work- fact! Think about it, if they did there would only be one available and it would be available on the NHS and we would not have an obesity crisis in our hospitals. Diet companies are businesses; they need your money to survive and they want you to keep coming back again and again so that you buy their products.

If you have been going to the gym for a while now but nothing seems to be happening then you are not doing the correct amount and/or type of exercises. If you wanted a haircut would you do it yourself? Probably not, you would go to a professional hairdresser. Why is this any different with your health & fitness? Stop slogging away in the gym wasting hours of your time. Speak to a professional trainer and find out how you can effectively use your time to achieve the best results you can.

Another barrier to any weight loss or fitness goal is mindset.

Think of a picture or photograph of yourself that you really like the way you look in .

When was it? Why were you happy?

What would it take to get back to that? What barriers are in the way?

What would you give to get back to that?

You would likely say you’d do anything or give anything to be back there! Yet you don’t!

To help you overcome each of these scenarios I’ve teamed up with www.positivechange4u. co.uk to create the Body & Mind Programme which consists of 6 hypnotherapy sessions (with www. positivechange4u.co.uk) to help you gain focus and to elevate your willpower and motivation, 6 personal training sessions to show you exactly what you should be doing physically and 1 nutritional advice session to educate you regarding the food choices you make. You will also receive 24/7 support to keep you on track and ensure you have all you need to achieve your goals. The Body & Mind Programme covers all the bases which means there is no reason why you cannot achieve the body you have always wanted!

The Great Tidy-Up

September is an ideal time for a great garden tidy-up, while it’s still warm enough to work outdoors comfortably before the inevitable freezing weather sets in.

If you've returned from holiday to withered summer bedding and dried-up pots, bite the bullet and empty them on the compost heap, replacing them with a spring display. Plant bulbs, pansies, heathers and other winter and spring stalwarts to brighten up your outlook.

If you're not going to use your containers for winter displays, clean them out, wipe them down and put them away.

Don't leave terracotta pots out or they may succumb to frost and crack.

Some gardeners tend to be more relaxed about pest and disease control at the end of the season, but ignore them at your peril or you may be storing up problems that will remain dormant until next year. Cut off or prune out affected parts of diseased plants and burn or dispose of them so that overwintering spores won't survive until next year.

Pest control is also important.

Be aware that many biological controls become less reliable when the temperature drops as the predatory insects which provide the control then multiply more slowly. Take off shoots on plants which are infested with greenfly or blackfly and dispose of them.

Don't leave garden debris lying around because slugs will shelter under it and are still capable of doing plenty of damage to your plants. It's also important to keep up with the weeding because otherwise they are likely to shed seeds, creating a hotbed of more weeds next year.

Continue to deadhead roses and cut back finished summerflowering perennials, removing supports which propped up the plants which have stopped flowering. These can be cleaned with a mild detergent and put away until next year.

The vegetable garden should still be producing rich pickings of French and runner beans, salad crops, courgettes and sweetcorn, but if you have time, clear away spent crops to create vacant rows, dig over the ground and refill the spare space with autumn and winter crops as soon as possible.

Give the greenhouse a springclean, emptying it of staging, plants and rubbish and give it a good clean with hot, soapy water, which will help flush out pests and diseases and prepare the area for any overwintering tender plants you may need to house. Remove greenhouse shading to allow in more light.

If you're putting plants back in there, try to space them out to allow good airflow around them which will help stop the build-up of diseases such as soft rot and mildew.

Garden furniture can also be cleaned at this time of year on fine days, to save you a job next spring.

Teak furniture can be washed with a mild mixture of soap and water and it is recommended that you use a soft utility brush to remove surface dust and dirt. Rinse the furniture thoroughly after cleaning and allow it to dry completely before putting it away for the winter.

September is also a good time to prune cane fruits such as loganberries and tayberries, cutting off the fruited canes to about 6in (15cm) from the ground.

Of course, once you've done all this, the sun may come out and you may have to unpack a newly cleaned deck chair or two if the summer turns out to be an Indian one - but you'll be streets ahead when spring arrives.

August & September Best of The Bunch

Penstemon

Penstemons are one of the most valuable late summer-flowering perennials and, in all but the coldest regions, are easy and reliable, flowering from summer to mid-autumn.

Their elegant spires of foxglove-like flowers are available in a range of gorgeous warm reds, pinks, purples, blues and whites and they fit into all styles of mixed border among dwarf shrubs, complementing grey foliage plants and roses.

Penstemons have a reputation for being tender, but in fact winter losses are usually due to wet weather.

They need full sun and well drained soil. If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, cover the crown of the plants with a cloche over winter.

On poor soils, add extra nutrients by watering with a high-potash liquid feed in June and again at the beginning of August, but don’t feed beyond the end of August. Plants should be cut back in late March to 12cm (5in) from ground level to keep the plants bushy and prevent flopping. Good varieties include P. ‘Alice Hindley’, which grows to 90cm (3ft) and produces large, pale-mauve, white-throated blooms, P. ‘Osprey’, a pink and white variety which looks great in the cottage garden, and P. ‘Raven’, with its rich purple blooms and white throat.

Good Enough to Eat! Herbs

Keep herbs going through autumn & winter If you’re worried about missing the flavours of all those home-grown herbs which you used throughout the summer, there are easy ways to keep stocked through the winter without going to the supermarket.

Sow a flowerpot full of basil seed, keeping it on a warm, sunny windowsill until the seedlings appear. Pick the leaves regularly to add to Italian dishes and sow some more in a few weeks’ time to keep the supply up.

If you’ve grown mint or parsley outdoors in summer, cut off a clump of it, complete with roots, and plant into a container of compost and keep it on a sunny windowsill to keep the plant going. Alternatively sow a pot or half-tray of parsley seeds every three months and the plants will keep growing all year round.

Evergreens such as rosemary and thyme will keep going through the winter months, so just snip a bit off when you need it.

Jobs To Be Getting On With...

August • Continue to feed roses regularly with rose food that is high in potash and magnesium. If they are in a mixed border, feed the whole area • In hot, dry spells, lift the cutting blades of your lawn mower by 1cm (half an inch) so that you don't cut it too short • If you are going away, move your containers to a cool, shady spot, stand them in saucers and water them thoroughly before you go.

Get family or neighbours to water while you're away • Take cuttings of clematis • Cut back lupins and delphiniums and the plants may go on to produce a few late flowers • Layer honeysuckle, wisteria and passion flower to increase stock.

Bend shoots down to the ground, slit the stem, dust with rooting powder and bury that portion of the stem in the soil. Hold in place with a large stone and don't let the soil dry out. Layered shoots take about a year to root

September • Protect ripening fruit from birds.

• Continue to water containers regularly.

• Pick early varieties of apples and pears when slightly under-ripe.

• Sow poppies outdoors where they can flower next year.

• Plant out spring-flowering biennials including forget-me-nots and wallflowers in their flowering positions to allow them time to establish before winter.

• Plant new border perennials and water in well.

• Bring in houseplants that have been standing outside all summer, before the first frost arrives.

Bedfordshire’s Night Sky

Answers Step On It

August & September 2017

HARMER WARMER WORMER WORKER WORKED WORDED

Looking Up! Shooting Stars to Light Up August Skies: 11th - 13th August this year sees the maximum of the Perseids Meteor Shower.

Forecasters are predicting rates of between 50 - 70 shooting stars per hour from 10pm until 4am on each of these nights. Look for fast-moving bright streaks of light shooting across the sky. They’ll appear to radiate from near the giant ‘W’ constellation of Cassiopeia high up in the north-east on August evenings.

See a Partial Solar Eclipse at Sunset: Sunset on Monday 21st August this year is rather special. A small chunk of the sun will be hidden as our moon slides in front of its lower limb, producing a partial solar eclipse. You’ll need solar eclipse glasses and a clear horizon to your west for the best view. Dunstable Downs is an ideal viewing spot. The eclipse begins at 7:42pm with the sun just above the horizon.

As the sun drops lower so the chunk of missing sun grows bigger. Sunset is at 8:12pm.

Venus Shines Bright as our Morning Star: Early risers are in for a treat this August and September. If you’re awake as dawn breaks look towards your east for a very bright ‘star’ hovering low over the eastern horizon. This is Venus, the brightest planet in our night sky. It’ll be with us every morning into autumn. A slender crescent moon is close by on 19th August and again on 18th September.
