Spring did not get an auspicious start with the weather over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend as Storm Katie left a trail of destruction in the city but fingers crossed for better conditions as we gear up for events such as the popular Lincoln 10K, the cycling Grand Prix and the Lincolnshire Show.

Diary Dates

The special markets held in Castle Square also get a boost in warm weather and lovers of food, crafts and antiques should check out our Diary Dates pages. Look out for the continental markets held on the High Street too.

Lincoln has taken the continental street café culture very much to its heart with many of the city’s eateries offering seating outside and I’m looking forward to the return of the al fresco buzz on the High Street and Brayford areas.

There are also some ‘hidden gem’ garden dining areas worth discovering off the High Street including newcomer, the French brasserie chain, Cote, the focus of our Table for Two feature.

History buffs will know this is not the first time Lincoln has seen a French invasion although the events of the early 13th Century were markedly less welcome. Could we all be speaking French now if it wasn’t for a little old lady holding out in Lincoln Castle against Prince Louis’ forces? Read Nicola de la Haye’s story.

Recipe Page

Classic Rack of Lamb Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 25 mins Marinating time: 2 hours

British Spring lamb is a healthy way to enjoy meat in your diet at this time of year. It is rich in protein, contains all the essential amino acids and is a great source for Omega-3 fats, B-complex vitamins as well as iron, calcium, phosphorous and potassium, so you’ve got every reason to give this recipe a go.

Ingredients: 1 or more Frenched* lamb rib racks with 7 to 8 ribs each (1 1/4 to 2 pounds for each rack, figure each rack feeds 2-3 people) For each rib rack: 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil * Racks of lamb are usually “Frenched”, or cut so that the rib bones are exposed when you buy them or you can also ask your butcher to french them for you.

Method

3. Preheat oven to 240°C. Score the fat, by making sharp shallow cuts through the fat, spaced about an inch apart.

Sprinkle the rack all over with salt and pepper. Place the lamb, bone side down (fat side up) on the pan in the centre of the oven.

Wrap the exposed ribs in a little foil so that they don’t burn.

2. Remove lamb rack from refrigerator to 1½ to 2 hours before you cook it so that it comes to room temp. (If the meat is not at room temperature it will be hard for it to cook evenly.)

4. Place the roast in the oven roast at 225°C for 10 minutes, or until the surface of the roast is nicely browned, then lower the heat to 160°C. Cook for 10-20 minutes longer (depending on the size of the lamb rack, and how rare or well done you want your lamb), until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat reads approximately 50°C for rare or 57°C for medium rare. Remove from oven, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Cut lamb chops away from the rack by slicing between the bones and serve 2-3 chops per person with seasonal greens and dauphinoise potatoes.

1. Rub the lamb all over with mixture of rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Place in a thick plastic bag with olive oil. Spread oil around so that it coats the lamb all over. Squeeze out as much air as you can from the bag and seal. Place in the refrigerator overnight or, if you are not marinating overnight, let lamb sit in the marinade as it comes to room temperature before cooking.

“Our conservatory was so cold in winter we hardly ever used it”

The idea of a conservatory is to give you extra ground floor living space that should be comfortable all year round. With the revolutionary new GuardianTM Warm Roof system in place you’ll be able to sit back, relax and enjoy your conservatory , warm & cosy throughout the winter months and nice & cool in the summer.

A Clearview Garden Room Roof will effectively turn your old conservatory into a beautiful, comfortable new garden room extension that can be used all year round 1 2 3 1

First we remove your old roof. This is done carefully and with minimum disruption.

4

Finally we complete both interior and exterior finishes to your exact specification.

Then we construct and install our revolutionary, lightweight and strong aluminium frame.

Now it’s time for the high performance insulation materials that will not only reduce your future heating bills but take away any risk of condensation.

Charity News

Volunteers needed at Bransby Horses Become part of the team at one of the country’s largest equine welfare organisations by volunteering with Bransby Horses Rescue and Welfare.

From humble beginnings in 1968 on a few acres off Tillbridge Lane a few miles north-west of Lincoln with little more than a determination to improve the lives of horses, ponies, donkeys and mules the charity has since helped more than 1,000 animals - with 450 currently in its care - and has added a further site in Hertfordshire.

Since Peter Hunt first moved to Bransby to start the charity, the Lincolnshire site has grown out of almost all recognition – it is now spread over five yards and 600 acres with a new visitor and education centre, children’s play park and walkways to ensure a great day out. It is also home to around 370 of the charity’s animals.

The purchase of land for redevelopment of Bransby has been made possible through bequests to the charity, but its day-to-day operation is thanks to a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who care for the residents 365 days a year.

Volunteer co-ordinator Kirsty Mathieson explained more volunteers were needed to help in all areas of the Lincolnshire site’s operation.

“There are so many things people can do to help us and some many volunteering opportunities available from helping with the horses to working in the café.”

With some of the centre’s animals being unpredictable, flighty or scared of humans, certain levels of fitness and experience are needed to work with them, but this does not mean other volunteers are not contributing to improving their welfare and that of other equines.

Above: Volunteers Judy and Steve Godrich have made great friends as part of the team at Bransby.

She added similar assistance would be especially valuable during Adoption Days when those horses, ponies, mules and donkeys that are part of the scheme each have their own event when those who have adopted them for £10 a year can visit them discover their different stories and how they are cared for at Bransby.

For example Jigily is a very handsome cob who suffers from Cobblers, which affects his nervous system and will get worse as he gets older. Adoption Days are held throughout the year, so volunteers could work with more than one animal.

Kirsty knows that volunteers already giving their time to Bransby also get something out of the work they do for the charity.

“People who volunteer at Bransby do become part of a team and they do often tell us how much they enjoy what they do.”

“Much of our work is to do with the rescue and ongoing welfare of animals, but we are also very much involved with education to spread the welfare message beyond what we can do, so all contributions are welcome.”

“First and foremost what we do is for the horses, but in doing that it helps us therapeutically as well. By volunteering at Bransby Horses we’ve found a deeper understanding of the beauty, creation and unconditional love of the animals. We have been made to feel very much part of the charity and made good friends along the way.” – Judy and Steve Godrich.

Volunteers who can give a few hours a week could work in the gift shop or helping with schools and groups that visit, but anyone who is only able to give up time occasionally would also by a useful addition to the team.

If you are not able to give your time you can still help Bransby by fundraising; collecting stamps, old jewellery, mobile phones and foreign currency; adopting an animal; rehoming an animal and sponsorship.

“We hold fundraising fayres three time a year and volunteers to man stalls or help with car parking duties would be really helpful.

We also visit events such as Wragby Show with stalls and need people to help man them,” explained Kirsty.

To find out more about volunteering at Bransby email volunteer@bransbyhorses.co.uk or visit www.bransbyhorses. co.uk or the centre at LN1 2PH.

Happy 20th anniversary for the Lincoln 10K Thousands of runners will head to Lincoln later this month when the city’s popular 10K celebrates a special landmark.

It will be the 20th staging of the Asda Foundation City of Lincoln 10K on Sunday, April 17 and it has grown into one of the region’s biggest road races.

Each year the event raises over £120,000 for charity with a large field of up to 6,000 runners expected on the routes that takes in some of Lincoln’s historic sites, including the Cathedral and the city’s Roman walls.

Many of those taking part will be raising funds for the event’s partner charities: the Jane Tomlinson Appeal: St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice; Macmillan Cancer Support; Lincs and Notts Air Ambulance; LIVES; Brainstrust; Framework, Cerebral Palsy Sport and the Mayor of Lincoln’s Charity.

And once again Lincs Scene’s Stephen Doherty will be pounding the streets in a bear costume, accompanied by his daughter Niamh, to raise money for St Barnabas.

Despite being hot under the collar in last year’s sunshine the duo raised a very respectable £767.

“We’re really looking forward to taking part again this year and beating last year’s total,” said Stephen.

“There is always such a great atmosphere among the competitors and the spectators, who are all very generous and supportive.”

The 10K will be the highlight of the festival of running that gets underway the day before with the event’s Arena Group Lincoln Mini and Junior runs.

These 1.5km, 2.5km and 5km events are free to enter and suitable for youngsters of all abilities aged between three and 15. They are a great opportunity for children to experience the excitement, atmosphere and cheering crowds of a mass participation run.

The youngsters are encouraged to raise a small amount of money for a good cause of their choice or to support the mini and junior runs partner charity, which this year is KIDS Strut.

“It’s fantastic to see the Lincoln 10K celebrate its 20th year. The event continues to grow in popularity, and rightly so,” said Coun Donald Nannestad, Portfolio Holder for Recreational Services and Health at City of Lincoln Council.

“It’s a brilliant route taking in the spectacular landmarks in uphill Lincoln, offering a good course for beginners and also for the more experienced runner to challenge themselves.”

Lunch Review A Table For Two:

Côte Brasserie He’s an enthusiastic omnivore as happy in a transport café as a Michelin–starred eatery. She’s a picky vegetarian who bemoans the poor choice she sometimes faces in restaurants. Between them they will provide a comprehensive review of where they have booked a Table for Two. What better way to start the long Easter weekend than with lunch at Côte?

The upscale French chain opened on Lincoln’s upper High Street on February 10 and appears to be going from strength to strength - it’s easy to understand why.

First impressions do count and from the moment you walk in to the £1million refurbishment of the old Craft Bar and Kitchen premises your expectation levels rise and you are not disappointed.

There’s a friendly welcome into the classy, multi-level interior, which is so spacious that even when the restaurant is at capacity it doesn’t feel crowded. Although booking is recommended for traditionally busy times, the brasserie’s sheer size and commitment to all-day dining means tables can be found for most impromptu visitors.

He had not been before, but I had enjoyed a Côte vegetarian breakfast shortly after it opened, so was able to witness his growing appreciation of the décor, space, staffing levels and layout as we went deeper inside to choose a table in the rear section overlooking the garden – the latter filled with al fresco diners over the course of our lunch.

Côte prides itself on its level of service; the staff all know their roles and are vigilant but not intrusive. We were soon settled with spicy piquant olives, a glass of Cuvee Laboire 2014 rose for me and draft Meteor lager for him, which is from one of France’s few remaining family-owned breweries.

Côte’s menus change seasonally and there are ‘lunchtime’ specials between 12 noon and 7pm offering two courses for £10.95 or three courses for £12.95 with a good range of dishes, such as Chicken Liver Parfait or Mushrooms Brioche as starters or Haddock Parmentier and Pork Belly for mains.

We ordered from the a la carte as he deliberated between the Charcuterie board, featuring smoked duck breast and jambon de savoie among its temptations and the crab mayonnaise.

34 LincsScene

He finally opted for the crab as a lighter alternative promising himself the board on a return visit and pronounced it absolutely delicious.

I had the same verdict on my warm Roquefort salad and it says something about my confidence in Côte that I chose this, as it is a dish I avoid in other establishments with the cheese often overwhelming everything, but this version was perfectly balanced.

We stuck to the light mains section of the menu as he enjoyed salmon fishcakes while I devoured spinach and mushroom crepes with sides of frites and French beans. Again we agreed our dishes were wonderful, but it is perhaps worth noting that they were both quite substantial for ‘light’ alternatives and we couldn’t manage anything more than a coffee to finish.

We have already booked to return to Côte with friends, which probably tells you more than a review ever could. The restaurant further enhances this area of the High Street and with the light nights now with us, we are looking forward to wending our way down the hill for a night out – not something we would have really considered a few, short years ago.

Simpsons represent Team GB in World Butchers’ Challenge

flagship Heckington Q Guild shop – his first - is the Meat Trades Journal’s reigning ‘Best Butcher’s Shop in the UK.’ See Simpsons butchers advertisement on page 13 or view their website at: www.gsimpsonbutchers.co.uk

Gary Simpson of Simpsons Butchers has been chosen to represent Team GB in The World Butchers’ Challenge in Queensland this September.

Gary Simpson, who owns and runs G Simpson Butchers in Heckington, Lincolnshire, is part of the six-strong home team.

Formerly the Tri-Nations Butchers Challenge, they will take on their counterparts from Australia, New Zealand and France – the first time the French have participated – in The World Butchers Challenge, to be staged at Gold Coast Convention Centre, Sydney, on September 10, after a five-day study tour.

All four teams will go head to head in a three-hour test of skills, innovation and presentation.

Team GB members got together for the first time this week (Wed, March 30) at The Food Academy at Leeds City College, when former captain David Lishman, of Lishmans of Illkey - David is national vice-chairman of the Butchers Q Guild - gave an in-depth insight into the challenges the team will face in Australia.

Key team roles were also determined. Gary will act as a finisher in the high-profile competition, readying the chosen products for final display after his fellow boners and breakers have completed their work.

Gary is said to be delighted, honoured and excited to be chosen to represent Team GB - and relishing the challenges faced on a world stage.

Gary started the business in 2000 aged just 20 with no family history of the butchery trade. He now operates six stores across Lincolnshire. The business has won multiple awards and the

James aims for young butcher title James Taylor will be among the eight young people demonstrating their skills competing for the title of the Premier Young Butcher 2016.

The 20-year-old is an apprentice at Simpsons Butchers’ Heckington store, which won the Meat Trades Journal Butcher Shop of the Year 2015, with James a finalist in the young butcher section of the competition.

James will be pitting his talents against the seven other finalists from throughout the UK, who are all aged between 18 and 23, at Foodex, the premier trade show for the food and drink industry at the Birmingham NEC on April 19.

Driving Force

Mazda 3 ticks a lot of boxes Yours truly really is on a quest to buy a new car and will be testdriving a few models over the next few weeks before making the final choice. Will it be a sporty coupe or practical SUV? Is it better to go with the head or the heart when buying a car?

Having gone one way then the other with my last two vehicles I have to say I think it has to be a combination of both.

I remember driving through Lincoln with flooring packs sticking out of my beautiful convertible dreading getting pulled over and it wasn’t great for kids, but my current practical diesel estate leaves me cold – I’m someone who needs to feel a little love for their motor. However, the right combination of practicality and

car charisma can be elusive, so I have scoured the motoring pages, read numerous reviews and made a note of anything that generally caught my eye to add to my research.

The resulting list is not exhaustive and I’m open to suggestions but it is made up of makes and models that suit my lifestyle and have that funky or sporty edge, including the Mazda 3.

Although this version has been around since 2013 I still tend to think of it as the new Mazda 3, because the old model was getting to look so world weary that it was almost starting to look retro – but more Mini Metro than Mini.

Even the sports models had never really been showstoppers, but the latest car is more opulent inside and out. There has been a recent trend across manufacturers to make cars look more aggressive, which I’m not totally enamoured with, but the beefing up of the Mazda 3 works as it feels larger and more high end than its predecessor, although apparently it weighs 75 kilos less.

I wouldn’t go as far as Mazda ’KODO – Soul of Motion’ design philosophy, which claims the 3 embodies the grace and power

of a cheetah, but I would concede the unabashed front end and bullish road stance gives it presence. This latter characteristic means that it handles well with little body roll, which combined with precise steering and gear changes gives the driver immediate confidence even at higher speeds.

Apparently the much of the Mazda range is engineered around the ethos of ‘Jinba Ittai’, which means ‘horse and rider as one’, so the driver is enveloped within the car with everything he or she needs at their fingertips. You do feel cocooned, but there are a couple design issues.

I was shown where the keyless entry start button was as I stood outside the car and the petrol tank release button was also pointed out. Imagine my chagrin when I could not find the start button for the life of me. I didn’t want to be the stupid woman who wasn’t paying attention and have to ask again. After rechecking everything for the third time I finally found it completely hidden behind the steering wheel and indicator column.

The petrol release is right next to the bonnet release, so guess which one I pulled first and then couldn’t close the bonnet properly, which foxed me until I had to give the car back. These aren’t deal breakers because once you know, you know and the Mazda 3 has so many other things going for it.

With any Mazda you get a lot of car for your money, so even the basic models feel like upgrades on competitors with trim levels SE, SE-Nav, SE-L, SE-L Nave and Sport Nav. I was driving a 2.0 litre petrol SE, but it was not until I did some research on the range that I realised I was in a basic model.

The manufacturer has a reputation for reliability and the 3 feels like a solid, well-engineered car and offers a enjoyable driving experience with my only real bug bear being the restricted view out of the rear window.

Given the option I would go for the 2.2 diesel SE-L Nav and you can pick up a 15-plate with only a few thousand miles on the clock for around £14,000.

Leading The Way

The little old lady that defended Lincoln Lincolnshire has a rich history punctuated with important figures that played vital roles in the technological, social and cultural development of Britain.

When it comes to ‘tough old birds’ Nicola de la Haye would have been competition even for the Lincolnshire’s most famous daughter, the Iron Lady herself.

Nicola was born in a male dominated world and at a time when even noble women were so undervalued that only the births of male children were registered.

We only know Nicola was born some time between 1150 and 1156 and was the eldest child of Richard de la Haye, who had no sons by the time he died in 1169, so she inherited his lands around Brattleby and his position as the castellan of Lincoln Castle, a position she held for more than 30 years.

Nicola married twice, but if either spouse expected her to retire into background as far as the running of the castle was concerned it seems her strong will made them think again. She was very active and took control when her husbands were away – a duty that would normally have been filled by a male deputy.

Although not much is known about her first marriage to William fitz Erneis, her second marriage to Gerard de Camville in 1185 appears to have been happy producing three children with Nicola also playing an active role of the running of their estates as well as the castle.

In 2006 the BBC’s Robin series featured a feisty character, Isabella, Guy of Gisborne’s sister, played by Lara Pulver, was based on the equally gutsy Nicola as this is the Britain of King Richard, King John, the Crusades and, of course, the Magna Carta.

Nicola first came to the notice of chroniclers at the time in 1191 when Gerard travelled to support the then Prince John against William Longchamp, Richard the Lionheart’s Chancellor, leaving his wife in charge of the castle.

The chancellor’s forces attacked the castle, but Nicola rallied her forces and kept the attackers at bay for more than a month.

Gerard died in 1215 the year of the signing of the Magna Carta and while it is now seen as the cornerstone of modern democracy, it was not successful at the time with King John asking the Pope to declare it invalid within weeks of putting his seal on it. The barons were so incensed they invited the French over to take the crown.

Nicola was in her sixties and decided to exercise her right as castellan as a widow and in the summer of 1216 dealt with the first attempt at French occupation by buying a truce from Gilbert de Gant. She was proving to be one of John’s most formidable

“And once it happened that after the war King John came to Lincoln and the said Lady Nicola went out of the eastern gate of the castle carrying the keys of the castle in her hand and met the king and offered the keys to him as her lord and said she was a woman of great age and was unable to bear such fatigue any longer. And he besought her saying, “My beloved Nicola, I will that you keep the castle as hitherto until I shall order otherwise.”

And she retained it as long as King John lived and after his decease she still kept it under King Henry, father of the king that now is.”

John made her Sheriff of Lincolnshire – something unheard of at the time. Her achievement only lasted for a few months as John died in October 1216 and Sir William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke was appointed Regent for the nine-year-old King Henry III. Marshall revoked Nicola’s installation as Sheriff, but this did not stop her from doing her duty when Gant turned up at the castle gates once more and would not accept a truce.

The resulting siege lasted for almost three months in the spring of 1217 with Nicola rallying her troops and holding out until the forces of Prince Louis of France could be defeated at the Battle of Lincoln in May 1217.

Conditions inside the castle would have been harrowing as the French invaders bombarded the walls – food would have been scarce with the soldiers around her dying or suffering injury as the walls began to fall.

The Battle of Lincoln turned the tide of the war as Louis lost half his army in the fighting in the narrow streets around the West Gate, so the country was secured for the young king.

Nicola continued to manage her estates with her customary efficiency until she died in 1230 aged in her late 70s.
