Local News 4 Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. A bus service between Goole and Rawcliffe Bridge is to be extended by one day. Bus service 88 runs between Goole, Airmyn, Rawcliffe and Rawcliffe Bridge, on Mondays to Fridays – and now a new Saturday service will be introduced this month. The extension has been announced by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, which funds the entire service. The new Saturday bus service has been made possible because of contract changes. This now means the bus service will operate four journeys a day in each direction, six days per week (Monday to Saturday) starting from Monday 11 April. The service is run by East Yorkshire buses. Councillor Claire Holmes, the council’s portfolio holder for planning, infrastructure and housing, said: “It’s great news that we’ve been able to extend this service by an extra day and run it on Saturdays. “I hope passengers will be pleased and that this service will be well used.” Anyone wanting more information about the service or a copy of the timetables can contact East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s transportation team via email at public.transport@eastriding. gov.uk The new timetable is also due to appear on East Yorkshire buses’ website and app. Improvements made to bus service between Goole and Rawcliffe Bridge People across the East Riding are being invited to share their thoughts about where they live as part of a consultation which will go towards creating new design guidance for future planning developments. The aim of the guide, which is being produced by the council’s planning depart-ment, is to preserve the unique identity and character of the towns and villages across the East Riding to ensure any new developments and planning applica-tions reflect the style of the area. When produced, the guide will sit alongside local plan policies and will act as a point of reference for those submitting future applications as it will detail what needs to be considered before planning permission is granted. Councillor Claire Holmes, portfolio holder for planning, housing and infrastructure at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said creating the guide is a way for residents to have their say on what they would like to see being given priority as new devel-opments come forward. She said: “The East Riding has a variety of landscapes and building styles with each town, village, coastal resort and settlements having their own unique identity and character. “The buildings and spaces between them which make up these areas each tell a story and we want to ensure this story continues which is why we’re looking at cre-ating a design guide in a bid to keep the unique character of the East Riding. “We also want to consider who people want to live and work now as well as in the future which is why we’re asking out residents to let us know how they feel about where they live, what is special about it, what they think works and what doesn’t and what they would like to see in the future.” The consultation will run until Monday 18 April and anyone wishing to complete the survey can do so by visit-ing https:// www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/ Residents to have their say on new design guidance on future planning developments

The company, based locally, offers homeowners the oppor- tunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Warren Ingleson explains: ‘Our watchwords are Quality, Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served trades- men so our customers are assured of the best job. Integ- rity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford.

10 Literature Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle This is the heart-breaking new novel from the author of the international bestseller In Five Years. When Katy’s mother dies, she’s left reeling. Carol wasn’t just Katy’s mum, but her best friend and first phone call. She had all the answers and now, when Katy needs her the most, she is gone. To make matters worse, the mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms: two weeks in Positano, the town where Carol spent the summer before she met Katy’s father. Katy has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone. And then Carol appears, healthy and sun-tanned... and 30 years old. Katy doesn’t understand what is happening, or how – all she can focus on is that somehow, impossibly, she has her mother back. Over the course of one Italian summer, Katy gets to know Carol, not as her mother, but as the young woman who came before. But can we ever truly know our parents? Soon Katy must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue. The Unsinkable Greta James by Jennifer E Smith An indie musician reeling from tragedy reconnects with her estranged father on a week- long cruise in this tale of grief, fame and love from bestselling author Jennifer E. Smith. Just after the sudden death of her mother – her most devoted fan – and weeks before the launch of her high- stakes second album, Greta James falls apart on stage. The footage quickly goes viral, and she stops playing. Greta’s career is suddenly in jeopardy – the kind of jeopardy her father, Conrad, has always warned her about. Months later, Greta – still heartbroken and very much adrift – reluctantly agrees to accompany Conrad on the Alaskan cruise her parents had booked to celebrate their 40th anniversary. It could be their last chance to heal old wounds in the wake of shared loss. But New books for April the trip will also prove to be a voyage of discovery for them both, and for Ben Wilder, a charming historian on-board, who is struggling with a major upheaval in his own life. In this unlikeliest of places – at sea and far from the packed venues she usually plays – Greta finally confronts the heartbreak she’s suffered. Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn Lizzie Damilola Blackburn is a British-Nigerian writer, born in Peckham, and this is her debut novel. Yinka wants to find love. The problem is she also has a mum who thinks she’s better qualified to find it for her. She also has too many aunties who frequently pray for her delivery from singledom, a preference for chicken and chips over traditional Nigerian food, and a bum she’s sure is far too small as a result. The fact that she’s a 31-year-old south Londoner who doesn’t believe in sex before marriage is a bit of an obstacle too. So, when her cousin gets engaged, Yinka commences ‘Operation Find A Date for Rachel’s Wedding’. Armed with an incredibly specific plan, will Yinka find herself a husband? . French Braid by Anne Tyler Anne Tyler’s latest novel is a brilliantly perceptive, painfully true and funny journey deep into one family’s foibles, from the 1950s right up to the present today. When the kids are grown and Mercy Garrett gradually moves herself out of the family home, everyone is determined not to notice. Over at her studio, she wants space and silence. She won’t allow any family clutter. Not even their cat, Desmond. Yet it is a clutter of untidy moments that forms the Garretts’ family life over the decades, whether that’s a painstaking Easter lunch or giving a child a ride, a fateful train journey or an unexpected homecoming. And it all begins in 1959, with a family holiday to a cabin by a lake. It’s the only one the Garretts will ever take, but its effects will ripple through the generations.

Gardening 12 Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. As we approach the middle of Spring, there’s plenty to do in the garden. Not only are the days getting longer, the soil is also beginning to warm up, which means there’s plenty to be getting on with in the potting shed. April is a good time to sow your favourite vegetable seeds indoors, or directly outdoors if it’s warm enough, ready for a summer of bumper harvests. And if you want to fill your beds, borders, and containers with scent and colour, keep sowing your favourite flower seeds too. Vegetables in April l Now is the time to direct sow carrots, peas, beetroot, winter cabbages, broccoli, salad crops and much more. Browse through our full range of vegetable seeds. l Sow marrows, courgettes, pumpkins, squashes and tomatoes in a heated greenhouse or propagator. l If frost threatens, pull some fleece over your first early potato foliage. Plant second early potatoes this month. l Plant onion and shallot sets outdoors in well-spaced rows. l Order your tomato plants now for planting up indoors at the end of the month. l If your asparagus beds are at least 2-years old, then you can now cut and enjoy spears as they appear. Cut with a very Gardening jobs for April sharp knife when they are 10 inches tall. l Sow herbs like dill, fennel, hyssop, parsley and thyme this month, undercover. l Thin seedlings in the vegetable patch, especially roots like carrot and beetroot. l If you have an established thyme plant, have a go at layering some creeping stems.

14 Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. Fiona’s Word Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband. PREPARE TO BE INSPIRED I am thrilled to once again be compering the Women of Achievement Awards this year. Organised by Women in Business it is one of the most prestigious events of its kind in our region – and it’s one that never fails to inspire. I can’t wait to hear the stories of the finalists – but before they get that far, you need to nominate them! Head on over to the Women in Business website for all the information you need about the different categories and how to enter. If you know a woman who deserves recognition, let us know! Or if you are that special woman, nominate yourself! And we’re also going to have another fantastic guest speaker. At the time of writing, I’m not allowed to reveal her name (it’s being announced at the WOAA launch event on April 7th) – but let me tell you, she is a much-loved household name – and I, for one, am soooo excited to meet her!! EASY WAYS TO SAVE MONEY We are all facing a huge rise in the cost of living – energy bills are soaring (my monthly bill has doubled), fuel prices at the pump have gone crazy, the weekly supermarket shop is rising all the times, interest rates are up, the list goes on. So how can we save money? Here are a few ideas that might help. Remember to switch off your lights and power sockets when they’re not in use – and don’t leave your devices on standby. Use cash back sites when you shop online. Remember that supermarkets start discounting food later on in the day if it’s going to be out-of-date the next day. Buy it and freeze it. Cook from scratch – it’s not only healthier, it’s much cheaper than buying processed food. If you’re a fast food lover, maybe it’s time to cut down on your takeaways. I’ve not taken the time to bake recently either, so that’s something that I need to put back on my agenda because home-baked treats are super yummy and cheaper than buying ready-made. And I must start planting some vegetables and herbs in the garden. What money-saving tips do you have? I’d love to hear them, so please let me know. HAPPY EASTER And finally, I’d like to wish you all a very Happy Easter. May it be a peaceful and joyous occasion for you. Enjoy time with your family, relax and recharge. I’m hoping for some nice weather so we can spend time in the garden and fire up the pizza oven! But, for now, I’d like to lift your spirits with a couple of one- liners I found that amused me! “It’s allergy season again?! You’ve got to be pollen my leg.” “Easter is the only time when it’s perfectly safe to put all your eggs in one basket.” Evan Esar “The arrival of Spring can’t be done in one picture.” David Hockney Have a great month everyone!
