Outdoor Joys

The best tech toys to take outside

Some of the most entertaining outdoor toys are the simplest, such as the cute Swivel Car DURXQG … ZLWK ORWV RI ÀUPV offering very similar products).

It’s a ride-on car with a difference: instead of pedalling or propelling it with your feet, you swivel the steering wheel and that generates movement.

It’s small enough for toddlers and tough enough for big kids and even the odd adult. If you’d rather go for something more traditional, the Cozy Coupe - around £49 - has been a favourite of families for more than 30 years, and the iconic red and yellow version has been joined by dinosaur and police car versions.

Complex toys can be fun too, of course. One kind of toy that’s improved dramatically in recent years is the electric car or bike for kids. It’s possible to get a decent trike for less than £40 that delivers 50 minutes of movement between charges, while around the £200 mark \RX¡OO ÀQG LPSUHVVLYH UHSOLFDV RI grown-up cars such as BMW’s futuristic electric i8. Remember that such vehicles do take a while to charge, so make sure you plug them in the night before you want to use them.

If you’d rather not let your child loose behind the wheel 6

but want to give them control of something fun, there’s a huge selection of radio controlled vehicles ranging from the toddler-friendly Little Tykes Tyre Twister (£39) to exceptionally fast scale models of performance cars such as Lamborghinis and Porsches.

Even the most expensive of these are much cheaper than they used to be, with top-end models usually coming in well below ÂŁ70.

Radio controlled cars are fun, EXW UDGLR FRQWUROOHG Ă \LQJ machines are even more fun.

You know you’re living in the future when you can walk into your local toy shop and come out with a smartphonecontrolled drone helicopter.

Drones start at around £20 for basic ones and reach £190 for Star Wars-themed models, and drones with built-in cameras start at around £60. If you want WR JHW VHULRXV \RX FDQ ÀQG D good selection of advanced drones with HD cameras and optical video stabilisers from around £300, rising to over £1,000 for high-end models.

One word of warning with drones: their propellers can be sharp and cause injury if they bump into people, so it’s a good idea to look for one with a protective ring around

the propellers if you’ll be giving it to a child or using it near kids or pets. And there are restrictions on where you FDQ DQG FDQ¡W à \ GURQHV VXFK as in crowded areas or near airports. It’s a good idea to check up on the law before spending any money. There are also concerns over privacy: the neighbours probably won’t DSSUHFLDWH \RX à \LQJ D FDPHUD over their garden.

Do you remember the days of potato guns and water pistols?

They’ve become a lot more sophisticated, with products such as Nerf guns ranging from around £20 to the ridiculously overpowered N-Strike Mega 0DVWRGRQ … ZKLFK ÀUHV foam darts from a motorised revolving drum. Between it and the super-powered, supersoaking water pistols that have more in common with water cannons than the water pistols you remember from your own childhood, be wary of the weaponry you give your kids because you can be sure you’ll be on the receiving end of the foam darts or freezing cold jets of water.

Slug Survival

by Pippa Greenwood

Whether your garden is big or small, or you have just a few planters in a back yard or on a balcony, the chances are that slugs will cause you grief.

There are about thirty species of slug in the UK and most feed throughout the year, especially after dark and when the soil is wet or moist – and now that spring is here, they’re out in force!

However, most slugs actually do little damage to living plants, instead preferring to feast on dead and dying material.

Typically it is smaller slugs like the greyish-black keeled slug DQG WKH SLQNLVK EHLJH JUH\ ÀHOG slug which are more likely to wreak havoc. With estimates of there being about 200 slugs per average cubic metre of average garden soil, the situation can soon get out of hand.

Keeled slugs in particular love to feast below ground, as well as on plants above the soil surface. In no time at all slugs can eat through the base of a young stem, killing the plant in the process, or eat seedlings even before they have had a chance to emerge above the soil surface! Later in the year, they will begin to tunnel into potato tubers and carrots too.

They breed quickly and very HIÀFLHQWO\ DQG \RX¡UH PRVW likely to spot the clumps of 10

eggs on the soil surface, EHQHDWK Ă RSSHG IROLDJH DQG amongst moist organic matter.

Each egg is about 1-2mm in diameter and a clear, milky or off-white coloured sphere.

So what can you do with these squidgy little menaces? • Go on an evening slug hunt, in particular after it has rained or you have done some watering. • Choose vegetable varieties which have useful resistance to slugs. With potatoes, main crop varieties usually suffer most, so try to grow mainly earlies. Choose varieties such as Charlotte, Kestrel, Sante or Wilja to give a better chance of success. • Encourage natural predators such as hedgehogs, frogs, toads, slow worms and ground beetles. If you keep hens consider letting them clear the ground for you – but obviously only before you start planting and sowing! • Use the Nemaslug nematode control, a treatment I like because it is harmless to everything except slugs. It works swiftly and silently too and, if you’re a potato grower and you drench the soil around the potato plants about six weeks before anticipated harvest, the nematodes soon get to work

and your potatoes should be virtually slug-damage free.

Use it to clear a slug-infested raised bed or planter and apply self-adhesive copper tape around the rim of the container to keep the contents slug free. Find out more about Nemaslug and copper tape at www.pippagreenwood.com/ products/protect-your-crops. • Barriers such as crushed shells, wool pellets, soot, pine needles or copperimpregnated fabric can also work well, but may need replacing regularly and results seem to vary. ‡ 7UDSV ÀOOHG ZLWK EHHU FDQ reduce slug numbers in your garden dramatically. You can buy ready-made traps or make your own using inexpensive plastic beakers plunged into the soil, the rim protruding 1-2cm above the VRLO VXUIDFH DQG ÀOOHG ZLWK D ZHOO à DYRXUHG EHHU Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood.com to buy gorgeous UK grown vegetable plants accompanied by weekly advice emails from Pippa, or to peruse the really useful selection of Pippa’s favourite gardening items including SpeedHoes, SpeedWeeders, raised bed kits, Nemaslug and copper tape, pull-out EasyTunnels, signed books and lots more besides.

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

You should consider putting a stalled plan back into motion at the beginning of May. Promoting an idea will result in a raise or a better paid position. Toward the middle of the month, you'll get a chance to sign a contract or enter into a business agreement. If you're not satisfied with the initial terms, lobby for better ones. Your powers of persuasion are strong.

TAURUS April 21st - May 21st On the 10th, the Full Moon will assist you in wrapping up a partnership matter. Signing papers, submitting work or fulfilling the last part of an obligation will be liberating. Don't be surprised if you're offered a very different role once this arrangement is finished. The New Moon on the 25th attracts an exciting moneymaking opportunity.

Taking on a more prominent role will be rewarding. There will be many perks associated with this position and you should take full advantage of them. At the middle of the month, you should attend as many parties and casual get togethers as possible. Talking with friends and meeting new people will give the intellectual stimulation you crave.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st The start of May makes it easier to finalise arrangements for an upcoming vacation. The delays and snags that held you back will magically disappear.

Your home life will be rewarding during the first half of the month. On the 25th, the New Moon will prompt you to enter into a serious partnership. You'll feel very comfortable working as a team.

VIRGO

CAPRICORN

August 24th - Sept 23rd

December 22nd - Jan 20th

The Full Moon on the 10th will find you passing a test, graduating from a course or relocating to a fun neighbourhood. Toward the middle of the month, you'll get a chance to move up the ladder of success. Don't be afraid of the competition. You'll easily outperform your rivals. The New Moon on the 25th will put you squarely in the spotlight.

It will be easier to smooth out and defrost family relationships at the beginning of May. Getting a loan or signing refinance papers are other possibilities at this stage. Try not to neglect your family during the second half of your month, even if exciting career opportunities beckon. Be sure to attend a game, recital or performance.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

January 21st - Feb 19th

The first days of the month will find you working behind the scenes for an extremely creative person. The Full Moon on the 10th will finally begin to show results from a health regimen.

The second half of May could find you steering a friendship into romantic waters. If you've already got a steady partner, encourage them to pursue a lifelong dream.

CANCER June 22nd - July 23rd News of a birth, engagement or marriage will arrive on the 10th, when the Full Moon sets off a string of festivities. The second half of the month will find you very busy at work. Taking an original approach to your duties will win the attention of those who can give you a career boost. The New Moon on the 25th finds you moving into a more spiritual dimension.

The opening days of May will make it much easier to work with a partner.

Take this opportunity to sort out misunderstandings or misconceptions and build a plan for moving forward.

The New Moon on the 25th invites you to expand your horizons. Going on an overseas trip, starting a writing project or attending an advanced professional course will be extremely stimulating.

SCORPIO October 24th - Nov 22nd May begins with an astral emphasis on all health enhancing ideas and strategies. Taking up a fitness regimen, changing your diet and getting more sleep will increase your stamina. The second half of the month is best spent with an intimate partner. On the 25th, the New Moon brings a financial windfall in the form of an inheritance, insurance refund or royalty payment.

Working from home will be genuinely pleasant and productive in the early days of the month. Good news about a lifelong dream will arrive during the second half of May. Take a bold risk of some kind. On the 25th, the New Moon will attract opportunities for love, romance and adventure. Take a break from your work to have some fun.

PISCES Feb 20th - March 20th In the opening days of May, finances will flow more freely. It will be a relief to have more income at your disposal. On the 10th, the Full Moon will be a time when legal and official matters can be wrapped up and put to bed. It will be a relief to have a case decided in your favour. The New Moon on the 25th could find you relocating.

A Vets Voice

By Mark Lainchbury

Holiday time is almost upon us and plenty of pet passports will be issued in the next few months.

Although we have previously written about this subject it is always worth repeating as being prepared is always useful where travel is concerned.

The operative word is 'prepare'.

Please remember to check with your vet, and up to date legislation provided by DEFRA that the country to which you will be travelling to, has any special requirements.

Make sure you allow plenty of time for any injections/ medication to be administered so no panic ensues.

Flea and tick treatments can vary in price depending on point of application. For instance a ferry port vet may charge exorbitant fees compared to a local veterinary. So please be mindful of this fact .

Also , if your pet is insured, check all details carefully on the policy in order that if a claim is made whilst away, the legal stipulations have been covered. Also your insurance provider may need details of your itinerary.

Some policies may need an extra premium in order to make a claim.

The approximate amount paid out by pet insurance companies in one year is ÂŁ452 million, so read the small print to make sure your claim is included !!

Once the paperwork and meds have been sorted, the holiday can be enjoyed !!

There’s so much more to Florida than just Mickey Mouse Undoubtedly, a family holiday to Orlando can be a magical experience for children of all ages (and their parents). As a Travel Consultant, I book a lot of Florida holidays where the focus is visiting Walt Disney World and, in some cases, staying there, too. And there are so many child-friendly attractions in Orlando, such as Discovery Cove where you can swim with dolphins (if you’re 6 or older), that the whole of your fortnight’s holiday could be spent within a 20-minute bus ride of the Disney resort. Our son, Josh, thought the animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom safari park were “amazing”, and whilst he was blown away by the water slides at Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, best of all he loved pootling down the lazy river in an inflatable ring.

But there’s so much more to Florida if only you care to go in search of it. Here’s an example…

I recently booked a 3-week holiday in Florida for a family with a 7-year old son, Sam, who’s madkeen on wildlife, so they’re starting off with 3 nights in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge where you can watch zebra and other African plains’ animals grazing on the savannah from the comfort and safety of your own balcony.

Naturally, lions and other predators have their own enclosures.

This would have been a nightmare for the family to book themselves as it involves multi centers, varying vehicles and many attraction tickets. For a family to research this and then make the bookings to fit together like a jigsaw, this would involve several hours of their time and possibly numerous visits to a travel agent along with hours of trawling through the internet, to find the most suitable accommodation / tickets / car etc for the experience. Then there is the concern about booking without insurance protection, in these days where many travel companies have gone into liquidation an unprotected holiday is a risk you may not wish to take!

With a personal travel consultant on your side, you receive a personal bespoke service, a quality holiday experience to meet your wish list, fully insured and protected, and all that legwork and time spent researching a holiday is done for you, and best of all. provide you with a bespoke 26

holiday trip at a fair price , so it wont cost an extra persons holiday to take advantage of a travel consultants services!

Why not give me a call and see what I can do for you and your dream holiday! “what have you got to lose?” Give me a ring or pop me an email, and see just what I can find for you!

Bill Ashley, Travel Consultant, Not Just Travel 07966 575784 bill.ashley@notjusttravel.co.uk Testimonial In 2016, Bill arranged a family holiday for Kim H of Wisbech, in Bali with stopovers in Dubai on the way out and on the way back because they were travelling with a 4yr old and a toddler. Kim came to Bill because it was a complex itinerary with multiple flights, accommodation, transfers, plus extras such as car parking at UK airport, all of which had to connect seamlessly. Kim said, "Bill took the stress out of booking this holiday and provided such an excellent service that he's book this year's family holiday which is a fabulous cruise from Southampton to Madeira and the Canaries...

In the meantime, Bill also rescued our daughter's last year summer holiday, booked through a cheap bucket shop, when she was left stranded in Corfu with two small children and no hotel. So, thank you Bill!"

Beauty Here Comes The Sun

by Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk

A coconut hair treatment, homemade body scrub and the perfect day-to-night paletteâ&#x20AC;Śmeet your new summer beauty kit.

Lighter evenings are a great excuse for after-work drinks.

Bobbi Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Sultry Nude Eye and Cheek Palette, ÂŁ48, is perfect for popping in your handbag ready for cocktail hour. The four eyeshadows have a slight metallic shimmer and the blush suits most skin tones. Easy to apply, with great staying power, the powders are housed in a very lust-worthy gold case. The only downside is the lack of brushes. See www. bobbibrown.co.uk. ,I \RXU OLSV DUH IHHOLQJ D ELW GU\ DQG Ă DN\ Clarinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil, ÂŁ19, could be the answer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s packed with nourishing oils, including hazelnut and jojoba, so helps to soothe and moisturise lips. Less sticky than lipgloss, it hides dry patches and adds a touch of colour. The Instant Light Lip Comfort Oil is available in four shades, including a lip plumping Mint. My favourite is Honey Glam, which gives you a shimmery golden pout. See www. clarins.co.uk.

Use Locally - Issue 6 May 2017 A sugar scrub is ideal for exfoliating legs that have been hidden away for months on end.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprisingly quick and easy to make one at home.

Just add around two tablespoons of olive oil to four tablespoons of sugar. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aiming for a mixture thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to massage into your skin, but not so liquid that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll drip all over your bath mat. The sugar acts as a natural exfoliator, and the olive oil is very moisturising, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll leave your skin feeling much smoother. You can also add extra ingredients to the basic scrub. Honey helps your skin to repair itself and retain water, so try adding a tablespoon to the mix. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not keen on the smell of olive oil, fragrance the scrub with a couple of drops of essential oil.

There are four core products in Primaveraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Harmonising Rose and Osmanthus body care range â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a body cream, bath oil, body wash and body oil. Designed to nourish skin and provide a real treat for the senses, the products are organic and full of natural ingredients. The bath oil (ÂŁ22.50) is perfect for a pampering soak after a long day. It smells amazing, and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. See www.pravera.co.uk.

For hair in need of some TLC, try Nealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Yard Remediesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rosemary & Cedarwood Hair Treatment. Organic coconut oil is blended with essential oils of organic rosemary, cedarwood, and lavender. You only need a small amount, less than a teaspoon.

Coconut oil is solid at room temperature, but dissolves into a liquid when heated, so just warm it between your hands, then massage it through your hair. You can leave it on for 30 minutes, but I like to use it as an overnight treatment. (As an added bonus, the lavender scent helps me to sleep.) It leaves hair feeling soft, sleek and much more manageable. ÂŁ6.50 from www. nealsyardremedies.com.

Health

By Alison Runham www.alison.runham.co.uk

These Boots (and Bodies) Are Made for Walking enough to keep vitamin D levels high.

May is National Walking Month.

Yes; sadly, simple old walking needs promoting. Many of us walk far less than previous generations did, yet walking is great for our health and brings RWKHU EHQHĂ&#x20AC;WV WRR THE HEALTH BENEFITS Walking as exercise shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be underrated. Regular walking is proven to reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, obesity and some cancers, and helps maintain musculoskeletal health. On average, walking 10,000 steps burns 400kcal a day. Walking can also lift your mood and reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

Countryside walks also offer nature, tranquillity and fresh air.

While our skin and eyes do need protection from unhealthy UV exposure, some UV light is essential for good health.

The UV light we absorb while walking can alleviate depression, help to regulate our body clock and stimulate Vitamin D production. Vitamin D boosts immunity, aids blood cell formation and helps us absorb calcium and phosphorous, necessary for healthy bones and teeth. The World Health Organisation says 5 to 15 minutes of casual sun exposure of hands, face and arms 2 to 3 times a week during summer is 32

OTHER BENEFITS OF WALKING Accessibility: Walking can be done anytime, anywhere; as part of an everyday journey to school, work or activities, or a special trip. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not obviously â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;exercisingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which may reduce any self-consciousness.

Social: You can walk with a family member or friend, allowing you quality time together. You may meet other people while walking or choose to join a walking group or health walk (see links below).

Environmental: Every time we walk to work, school, shops or activities instead of using transport, we reduce pollution and congestion, helping the environment and improving everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and safety - both now and in the future.

BMW M760Li xDrive

Those of you hoping this was BMWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s M7 need to look away now. Although this may be the fastest BMW ever PDGH LI \RX¡UH DIWHU D Ă&#x20AC;UH EUHDWKLQJ IXOO EORRGHG 0 FDU the M760Li will leave you a little disappointed. BMW says WKDW¡V EHFDXVH WKLV LV D FDU for buyers with something of a split personality. One moment they may be keen RQ D FRXQWU\ URDG DVVDXOW VR WKH\ FDQ HQMR\ WKH JORULRXV V12, the next they might want WR NLFN EDFN DQG UHOD[ LQ WKH PDVVDJLQJ VHDWV DQG MXVW FUXLVH DORQJ LOOKS AND IMAGE The 7 Series has long been a luxury choice for the type of buyer who still enjoys driving, though â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the M760Li is the epitome of that. With several driving modes to choose from, sporty drivers are well catered for when its sport setting is active. With the comfort setting itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mellower, more relaxed, it HDVHV RYHU EXPSV DQG Ă RDWV along beautifully.

The looks of the M760Li wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be for everyone but inside is a 36

wonderful place to spend time.

For those who are chauffeured the back seats are arguably more comfortable than up front.

There are multimedia screens to enjoy, cushioned headrests and massaging, reclining seat backs.

SPACE AND PRACTICALITY The 7 Series does feel a little smaller in the rear than rivals from Mercedes and Audi, though. Up front the driving position is a little cosseting too, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to get comfortable.

WHATâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S UNDER THE BONNET? BMW made a lot of noise about it being 30 years since they installed a V12 engine in their 7 Series at the launch. Since then, the 12-cylinder lump has doubled in power: the 2017 6.6-litre unit boasts a whopping 601bhp, a staggering 800Nm of torque and is capable of propelling it to 60mph in just 3.6 seconds. That gives it the impressive title of the fastest accelerating BMW ever made, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay at the pumps; the M760Li will return 22.1mpg and emits 294g/km.

BEHIND THE WHEEL The BMW is a true Jekyll and Hyde car with distinct personalities behind the wheel.

On the track it was incredibly swift and that V12 makes a pleasingly sound and, while there may be some body roll, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too intrusive. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all helped by four-wheel drive that has a rear wheel drive bias when needed. The steering is a little light in the comfort setting, WKRXJK EXW Ă LFN LW LQWR VSRUW DQG itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far better.

VALUE FOR MONEY For ÂŁ132,310, you do get some goodies thrown in.

Lightweight 20-inch alloys, a Bowers & Wilkins sound system and Car Play are included, as is an Advanced Parking System, adaptive LED headlights, a head-up display, and massaging seats. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even rear-seat entertainment and a panoramic glass sunroof provided too. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an extensive options list, including night vision and BMW laser headlights.

VERDICT The fact BMW perseveres with a V12 is a revelation.

With downsizing the current buzzword, it seems hard to believe that a manufacturer would launch a 6.6-litre petrol drinking lump. Although the market for it will be small, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still very glad it has. OK, so this might not be the M7 that many performance BMW fans crave, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as close to it as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great fun to drive, sumptuously luxurious and wonderfully relaxing when you want it to be - and all in, a very competent and exciting 7 Series indeed.

Three Types Of Food That Are Poisonous To Your Dog If your dog has ever ingested a poisonous substance, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know the sudden and devastating effect it can have on their health.

Unfortunately, three commonly used foods regularly cause serious issues for dogs, often requiring emergency treatment by a vet.

Chocolate Chocolate contains a poisonous substance called theobromine, which is derived from the cocoa plant. Amongst other symptoms it can cause severe vomiting, diarrhoea, high WHPSHUDWXUH LUUHJXODU KHDUW UK\WKP DQG Ă&#x20AC;WWLQJ Dark chocolate contains more theobromine than milk or white chocolate, and it is not unusual for a dog to need veterinary intervention even when a small amount has been consumed.

Onions, leeks, chives, garlic and shallots All members of the allium family, these foods can cause anaemia

Positive Reward based training for your dog

PETS

in dogs and are poisonous both in their raw and cooked form - even something as innocuous as onion gravy can cause a severe reaction in some dogs. They contain organosulphides which attack the red blood cells over a period of time. After a few days you might notice your dog has an upset stomach, is lethargic, sleepy, or breathing rapidly.

Grapes, raisins, currants and sultanas These can all be fatal to your dog, although the dried versions are believed to be more toxic.

Some dogs are able to eat these foods with no ill-effects, but others experience serious illness over a period of several days, with vomiting and diarrhoea, and in some cases kidney failure a few days after ingestion. https://www.pdsa.org.uk/taking-care-of-your-pet/ poisons-and-hazards http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/media/605397/ poisons.pdf
