Quote of the Month "Springtime flowers bloom like colorful arrows piercing their way to the sun" - Terri Guillemets

t is April already! This month sees the feast day of England’s patron saint, as St George’s Day falls on 23rd April. Whilst the commemoration of St George’s Day is relatively recent when compared with the long traditions of the saints’ days of Ireland, Scotland and Wales, there is one celebration which is peculiar to the English celebration. Popular in Lancashire and West Yorkshire in the modern day, ‘Pace Egg’ plays were historically performed across England at Easter time, and featured St George as the hero. Easter itself falls on 17th April this year; a late celebration which hopefully means brighter weather. The Easter egg is synonymous with modern observance of Easter, but has a long tradition going back centuries. Arguably the most luxurious Easter eggs were those crafted by Fabergé for the Russian Tsars in the 19th century. The first Fabergé egg was made of gold, and contained a little golden hen which opened to reveal a diamond replica of the imperial crown. Always a celebration marked by feasting, it is perhaps no surprise that the egg theme of Easter extended into food. The first chocolate Easter egg was introduced in Britain in 1873 by the company J.S. Fry. In the modern day over 80 million Easter Eggs are sold every year in Britain! Of course, Easter is marked in the UK by a four-day Bank Holiday weekend, so make the most of it by enjoying the warmer weather – and maybe some chocolate, too!

Do not go through the gap, instead turn left and follow the edge of the field with the hedge on the right.

5. After c250m two footpaths join from the right. Take the second of these paths heading through the kissing gate.

On meeting a crossing track and bridleway cross over and continue along the footpath with a wood on your left to reach a large gate. Go through the gap to the left of the gate and then immediately right through a kissing gate which opens into a large meadow (Lee Common). Turn right and then head half left uphill across the Common (avoiding the entrance to the wood on your right) to arrive at a kissing gate at the top by the side of a cottage.

before the dell, take the first footpath on the left and follow it all the way to a road. 9. Cross the road and turn right, passing in front of the Polecat Inn.

Helen Lodge saw the advert asking for volunteers to design walks for the Chiltern Society via Hughenden Valley Residents’ Association. While researching potential routes, it was a pleasant surprise to find footpaths she had not previously walked. She hopes that this route has managed to capture some of the stunning views in the area round Prestwood Nature Reserve. Map: Glyn Kuhn

Don’t Be An April Fool Keep your stuff safe with PC protection

Te c h n o l o g y

Connecting an unprotected PC to the internet is rather like stripping naked, covering yourself in honey and throwing yourself into a nest of angry wasps: the question isn’t whether you’re going to get stung, it’s how bad the results are going to be. The internet is full of unpleasantness, and some of it is trying to make you an April fool. Trying to con people on the internet is very cheap and safe: the likelihood of getting caught is incredibly small, and the cost of contacting even millions of people is incredibly small too. So entire call centres make fake technical support calls to unsuspecting people, trying to convince them that their PC is broken and they need to download software to fix it. That software then nabs their personal information, or their online banking details, and that information is used to compromise their various accounts and steal their money. It’s important to stress this: if you’ve ever tried to call the support lines of Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, BT or any other big firm, you’ll appreciate how long it takes to get through. These companies don’t have the resources to make proactive support calls, let alone monitor your computer for

any problems. Apps can help. A powerful but simple password manager such as the excellent 1Password solves a big problem with the internet - you need different, strong passwords that can’t be guessed for each individual site or service, but you also need to remember them. 1Password creates and remembers them for you, automatically filling them in when you need them. This means that if, say, your favourite photo site is hacked, your login details can’t be used to get into your Amazon account, eBay account or PayPal account. Macs don’t generally suffer from malicious software, but Windows PCs do: there are more Windows users in the world, so they’re a more tempting target. That means security software is essential. BitDefender Anti-Virus Free Edition, AVAST anti-virus and AVG Free anti-virus can protect your PC from malicious files and apps, and they’re constantly updated with details of the latest threats. In the case of apps such as BitDefender, they can also scan links in your emails to let you know whether that email from the bank or Apple is fake (the answer, 99 times out of a hundred, is yes).

These apps matter because in addition to fake emails and malicious software, there’s a new villain in town: ransomware. Ransomware is a program that sneaks onto your computer and locks you out of it completely, meaning you can’t access your email, your photo library or anything else of value on your PC. The only way to unlock it appears to be to call the supplied telephone number and pay the ransom, which is usually a few hundred pounds. That’s a really bad idea, because the details you use to pay the ransom are then used again and again until you have no money left. Security software such as the apps mentioned above can protect you from ransomware in two ways. They can prevent it from getting onto your PC in the first place, and remove it if your PC is already infected. When you consider the cost of the software is zero and the likelihood of an unsecured PC getting something nasty is 100%, security software is a must-have for anybody with a PC.

Finance Ways To Reduce ‘Hidden’ Spending So You Can Save Money Or Pay Off Debt By Ann Haldon

Finance

wastage as consumers are encouraged to buy more than they need – a particular danger if you also shop when you’re hungry.

There are the obvious ways to save money, such as using comparison websites or cancelling an unused gym membership, but what about the ‘hidden’ money pits that drain your cash in a less evident way? Three areas immediately spring to mind – food, cars and technology – all essential parts of life but ones that can seriously deplete your financial reserves. So what can you do to stem the flow of cash, start to pay off your debts, or save towards something special such as retirement or a family holiday? Food shopping According to Love Food Hate Waste, £13 billion of edible food was wasted by households across the UK in 2015, equating to 7.3 million tonnes.¹ One of the issues is that people don’t plan their food shopping, and overestimate how much their household needs. Although it’s a very convenient way to shop, supermarkets encourage overspending with so-called ‘deals’ and careful placement of goods around the store. This can result in food

Cars An essential part of everyday life for most people, running a car is expensive and constitutes a significant chunk of the annual budget. So although you may already be resigned to spending a small fortune on your car, have you looked closely at all the costs? insurance premiums The ever-increasing cost of insurance is a particular bugbear for motorists. On top of the annual increase in premiums, Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) has also risen from 5% to 6%, making insuring your car even more expensive. Although there’s nothing you can do about IPT, if you plan in advance and can afford to pay in one lump sum rather than by monthly direct debit, you’ll save money in the long-run. It’s also worthwhile looking at the level of cover your current policy provides, and whether it’s still appropriate. Fuel Fuel is usually the largest cost for motorists, and one of the best ways to save is to alter your driving habits. Avoiding harsh acceleration and braking, and reducing your speed on the motorway, if only by a few miles per hour, will help you save. You can check the price

of local petrol online using PetrolPrices.com, and plan ahead so you’re not forced into buying expensive fuel at motorway service stations en route. Making sure your tyres are at the correct pressure, and reducing unnecessary weight in the car, will also help. servicing and MoT Package deals on servicing are available on new and used cars, and although it may seem a large outlay at first, they can offer long-term savings. As far as MOTs are concerned, you can save the cost of a re-test just by carrying out a few simple checks before taking the car in, such as tyre tread depth and light bulbs. phones and TeChnology Most people don’t question the fact that they have a landline, but do you really need one? If you naturally reach for your mobile to make a call and could manage without a home phone, you’ll make a significant saving on line rental and call costs. If you prefer to keep the landline, maybe you could save on the cost of your mobile phone. With so many competitive pay-as-you-go deals around, it’s worthwhile checking them against your contract. Also, don’t forget about recycling any old phones to raise extra cash. ¹https://www. lovefoodhatewaste.com/article/ unite-food-waste-fight http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/ money/bills/article-1591904/50ways-save-money.html

Wheezes and Sneezes: How to Tackle Hay Fever of steroid nasal spray users were using them correctly in the study).

Health & Wellbeing

Hay fever or seasonal allergies can be caused by the pollen of numerous trees, grasses or plants and it affects around 18 million people in the UK. Diagnosis If you’re unsure it’s hay fever causing your symptoms, see your GP. They may refer you for an allergen test to determine whether you’re allergic to pollen or other organic material such as animal hair or dust mites. a skin prick test only tests for the most common allergens, so it may be inconclusive. Your skin is pricked and exposed to a tiny dose of allergen - it should react if you’re allergic. a blood test for the Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody, produced when you encounter pollen, may also be used. symptoms Symptoms can range from mild to life-impacting: • itchy and/or runny nose • sneezing • irritated, itchy, watery eyes TreaTing Hay Fever How you treat your hay fever will depend on the type and severity of your symptoms. Research by Allergy UK in 2014 showed that 62% of sufferers found their current medication ineffective – yet they failed to seek better alternatives or didn’t use it properly (only 14%

Ask a pharmacist for advice on the right medication and alternatives if it’s ineffective. Ensure you follow doctor’s, pharmacist’s and manufacturer’s instructions carefully. See your GP if over the counter treatments aren’t working, or you develop sinus or ear infections. oral Medications (Tablets and Liquids) antihistamines block the action of histamine, a chemical triggered by allergen exposure, to reduce or stop your allergic reaction. They may not relieve a blocked nose but are usually effective against other symptoms. As a preventative, they work best if taken regularly and started in advance of high pollen count periods. They can also be taken as required when symptoms begin. Some older antihistamines (e.g. chlorpheniramine, known as Piriton) make you drowsy and can affect your ability to do your job or drive. However, most people now choose newer, nonsedating antihistamines (e.g. Loratadine). steroids are only usually used short-term if other medications aren’t working or if your hay fever causes or aggravates asthma. They reduce symptoms by reducing inflammation. nasal sprays and Drops Decongestant nasal sprays unblock your nose but can cause rebound congestion after a few days, so only use them for occasional relief or as an additional treatment on days

when symptoms are severe. steroid nasal sprays or drops prevent and reduce inflammation in the nasal lining and can help relieve eye itchiness too. antihistamine nasal sprays relieve an itchy nose and reduce sneezing. eyedrops Antihistamine eyedrops reduce itchiness and watering. inhalers and injections If seasonal allergies cause or exacerbate asthma, you may be offered a steroid inhaler and/or a ‘reliever’, such as salbutamol (‘Ventolin’). Injectable medications may sometimes be recommended if steroids aren’t adequate. Monoclonal antibody treatments (‘mabs’) such as Xolair block a substance involved in allergic reactions. immunotherapy If your symptoms are persistent or severe, your doctor may suggest immunotherapy to progressively build allergen immunity. A specialist will gradually introduce your body to small amounts of allergen by injection or a sublingual tablet and monitor your reaction. Treatment is started three months before your trigger pollen season. PrevenTion Reduce pollen contact by avoiding drying washing outside, showering before bed and closing windows.

Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Serves 4

Ready in 1 hour 10 minutes

Recipe

This recipe is a great way to turn chicken fillets into something special. You can prepare them a couple of hours in advance and keep covered in the fridge, then simply cook when needed.

Ingredients: • 75g ricotta cheese • 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves • 2 tsp finely grated lemon zest • 4 large skinless chicken breast fillets • 12 thin-cut rashers streaky bacon • 5 tbsp olive oil • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar • 1tsp Dijon mustard • Pinch of sugar • 100g baby spinach leaves • 2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted

TIP

Instead of ricotta you could use low-fat soft cheese such as Philadelphia or a mild and creamy goats’ cheese.

Use a sharp knife to make a deep pocket in each chicken fillet, making sure not to cut right the way through. Place the ricotta cheese in a bowl and stir in the thyme leaves and the lemon zest. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Place one-quarter of the ricotta mixture in the pocket of each chicken fillet. Use the back of a knife to stretch the bacon rashers. Wrap 3 rashers around each chicken fillet and secure with a metal skewer. Preheat the oven to 180C, 160C Fan, Gas Mark 4. Heat 1tbsp of the oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken fillets over high heat for 2-3 minutes until the bacon is browned, turning once. Transfer to a roasting tin and cook for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Cover and leave in a warm place to rest for 10 minutes. To make the dressing, whisk the remaining oil with the vinegar, mustard and sugar in a small jug and season to taste. Slice each chicken fillet into 6 pieces and arrange on the salad leaves. Scatter over the toasted pine nuts and spoon over the dressing. Serve immediately.

HUGH JACKMAN HANGING UP HIS CLAWS ...by Jake Taylor

ugh Jackman’s glittering on-screen career has seen him portray the super-mutant Wolverine a mammoth nine times – but with the release of Logan, Jackman is bidding farewell to his most famous and ferocious silver screen creation forever.

It’s been 17 years since Hugh Jackman After nearly two decades and nine first hit the silver screen as the sideappearances as Wolverine Jackman burned super-mutant Wolverine has decided to relinquish the careerin Bryan Singer’s X-Men. Though defining character for good, and no Jackman has gone on to prove himself amount of pleading or cajoling will one of Hollywood’s most bankable get the Sydney-born star to change and multi-talented leading men (even his mind. going so far as to showcase a sturdy set of pipes in an Academy Award“Everyone always says, never say nominated performance in 2012’s Les never; I'm saying never,” the 48-yearMiserables), the ferocious comic book old confirms with a smile. “It's a character that gave him his big break beautiful movie.

legacy to the fans. And that's made me more excited about this film than any of the others, if I'm honest. That sounds controversial but it's true.” Jackman’s decision to retire the character in James Manigold’s R-rated Logan already appears a masterstroke. Having quickly garnered acclaim from critics and fans alike, the final chapter of Jackman’s long-standing association with the eponymous Logan has been described by the actor as “perfect.” “This story is about a human, not a superhero, hence why it isn't called ‘Wolverine's Legacy’ or something like that,” he explains. “It's not a comic book movie, it's a very human and intimate story told from the point of view of someone who is terrified of that same humanity and intimacy. “Even when I read the three pages of script that I got for the first time, 18 or 19 years ago when they were looking for their man, I knew he was more than your average superhero. Here was a character who was aligned with his humanity, rather than his mutant abilities. He has hidden emotions and virtues that I didn't know existed in the comic book universe. I always felt like there was a deeper story to tell with Logan, and this is it. That is why it's perfect to me.” Jackman will surely be sorry to see the back of a character he describes as a “best friend”. But there is one element of the role he remains conflicted over – the frequent “punishment” he put his

body through in the gym to attain his stacked superhero physique. “I actually think Logan has prolonged my life expectancy because I've been working out like a maniac for seventeen years,” he laughs. “My waistline would be twice the size it is now if it wasn’t for him, so I'm eternally grateful for that. And it's sort of ingrained, but instead of going to the gym for two hours I'll go for twenty minutes. I'll work out like a normal person now, and I'll eat like a normal person.” And what are the first things an exmutant dines out on once he’s wrapped filming his final and most brutal excursion as Wolverine to date? “Bread and beer!” Jackman laughs. “At the same time, down the hatch. Heaven.”
