One way to avoid this is to have a space which is dedicated to work. It doesn’t need to be an entire room, but instead could be a desk hidden away from all the ‘social’ spaces in your home. My number one rule is that I never take my laptop to bed, ensuring that the bedroom is a completely work-free zone, dedicated to rest and relaxation. 4 Learn to switch off Once you have firm boundaries in place, it should be much easier to switch off. But if you’re still struggling, don’t give up. It’s all about finding the tools that work for you. For example, I know one man who has invented a daily commute to bookend his working day. He wakes up, gets washed and dressed, and then leaves the house to walk around the block before returning home to sit at his desk for a 9am start. At 5pm he packs up his things and does the same walk around the block in reverse to signify the end of his day, and his return to ‘home’ life. My version of this is decluttering my desk at 6pm, lighting a candle, putting on some music, and cooking dinner. For you, it might be a visit to the gym, a drink at the pub, or even setting an out of office reply on your email account. Pick an activity that you can look forward to, to make it your end of the day reward, and then you’ll be more likely to stick to it consistently. Those working from home now account for 13% of the UK workforce, and with books such as Sophia Amoruso’s Girlboss and Emma Gannon’s The Multi-Hyphen Method becoming best-sellers, the dream of being self-employed has never been more coveted. I personally felt drawn to working for myself because of the flexibility in relation to my mental illness. Living with depression and anxiety means that my capacity for work can change dramatically from day to day, even hour to hour. So having the option to rearrange my own work schedule, avoid stressful situations, and do yoga poses at my desk, seemed like a no-brainer. But let’s take a reality check, shall we? Working from home is no walk in the park. At the end of the day, it’s still a job and has its negative aspects. In fact, a study conducted by the UN found that 41% of people who tended to work from home considered themselves ‘highly stressed’, compared to just 25% of those who worked only on-site. Here’s how to strike a healthy balance when work and life collide... 1 Don’t isolate yourself If you’re not a ‘people person’, working from home is probably your dream job, but don’t neglect your biological need for human interaction. Studies show that isolated people are likely to take insufficient exercise, have poor diets, and are less willing to visit a doctor. This can increase your stress levels, blood pressure, and inflammation in the body. Make an effort to meet up with clients in real life, arrange co-working sessions with other self-employed people in your area. 2 Establish a routine Kirsty Hulse, author of The Future is Freelance, tells us that although routine is very important, it’s not always sustainable. “For example,” Kirsty says, “some days I will be travelling for a meeting, others I will be at home all day, or be somewhere for an event. It’s not always feasible when you work from home to have a set routine.” Once you get to know yourself, you’ll find what your own version of a ‘routine’ looks like. A good place to start is with ‘office hours’. Try making a commitment to getting ready before 9am. This is easy to let slip

Homeseeking by KARISSA CHEN Haiwen is buying bananas in LA when he looks up and sees Suchi for the first time in 60 years. To recently widowed Haiwen it feels like a second chance, but Suchi has only survived by refusing to look back. Suchi was seven when she first met Haiwen in their Shanghai neighbourhood, drawn by the sound of his violin. Their childhood friendship blossomed into soul-deep love, but when Haiwen secretly enlisted in the Nationalist army in 1947 to save his brother from the draft, she was left with just his violin and a note: Forgive me. Homeseeking follows the separated lovers through six decades of tumultuous Chinese his- tory as war, famine and opportunity take them separately to the song halls of Hong Kong, the military encampments of Taiwan, the streets of New York and sunny California, telling Haiwen’s story from the present to the past while tracing Suchi’s from her childhood to the present. Show Don’t Tell by CURTIS SITTENFELD From the bestselling author of Romantic Comedy and American Wife, Show Don’t Tell is the latest release from Curtis Sittenfeld. In this compulsive collection of 12 witty stories, Sittenfeld shows why she’s as loved for her short fiction as she is for her novels. In ‘The Patron Saints of Middle Age,’ a woman visits two friends she hasn’t seen since her divorce. In ‘A for Alone,’ a married artist embarks on a project intended to disprove the so-called Mike Pence Rule, which suggests that women and men can’t spend time alone together without lusting after each other. And in ‘Lost But Not Forgotten,’ Sittenfeld gives readers of her novel Prep a new window into the world of her beloved character Lee Fiora, decades later, when Lee attends an awkward school reunion. Witty, confronting and 8 Literature March Reads full of tenderness, Sittenfeld peels back the layers of our inner lives, all with her distinctive voice. The City Changes Its Face by EIMEAR MCBRIDE Eimear McBride is the author of four novels: A Girl Is A Half-formed Thing, The Lesser Bohemians, Strange Hotel and forthcoming book The City Changes Its Face. It’s 1995. Outside their grimy window, the city rushes by. But in the flat there is only Stephen and Eily and the total obsession of new love. Eighteen months later, the flat feels different. Love is merging with reality. Stephen’s teenage daughter has re-appeared, while Eily has made a choice, the consequences of which she cannot outrun. Now they face a reckoning for all that’s been left unspoken – emotions, secrets and ambitions. Tonight, if they are to find one another again, what must be said aloud? The Lamb by LUCY ROSE It’s the perfect time of year to settle in with a folk-horror book. The Lamb iz the debut novel by Lucy Rose. Margot and Mama have lived by the forest since Margot can remember. When Margot isn’t at school, they spend quiet days together in their cottage, waiting for strangers to knock on their door. Strays, Mama calls them. Mama loves the strays. She feeds them wine, keeps them warm. But Mama’s want is stronger than her hunger sometimes, and when a white-toothed stray named Eden turns up in the heart of a snowstorm, little Margot must confront the shifting dynamics of her family, untangle her own desires and make a bid for freedom. With this gothic coming-of-age tale, Rose explores how women swallow their anger, desire and animal instincts – and explores the relationships between mother and daughter.

10 Recipe To contact Telephone: 01964 552 470 • Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • www.daltonspire.co.uk Serves 4-6 Prep time 10 min Cook time 1 hour 40 min Make Ahead The lamb mix is a brilliant candidate for batch cooking and a wonder in its own right. Freeze in portions, then serve as a stew with rice or over baked potatoes. The base works with a mixture of lamb and beef too, which keeps costs down if you’re going for a big batch. Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil 4 anchovy fillets in oil, drained 1 red onion, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, finely sliced 1 large carrot, peeled and sliced 2 celery sticks, sliced 750g lamb mince, ideally 20% fat 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp ground cumin 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg 1 cinnamon stick 2 tsp dried mint 2 tbsp harissa 400ml chicken stock 150g frozen peas 60g pitted green olives 15g coriander, chopped 15g mint, chopped For the topping 800g floury potatoes such as Maris Piper or King Edward, peeled and quartered 120ml oat milk 60g unsalted butter 1 tbsp tahini 150g feta, coarsely grated or crumbled 2 tbsp sesame seeds Spiced shepherd’s pie with feta and tahini mash All the comfort of a classic shepherd’s pie but with the warming spices and aromatic flavours of North Africa, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. You’ll never go back to the original after trying this! Method 1 Add the oil and anchovies to a large, heavy-based pan over a medium heat. Stir for a minute, breaking up the anchovies into a paste, then add the onion, garlic, carrot and celery and cook for around 8 minutes until softened. Add the lamb mince and turn up the heat. Break it up with a wooden spoon and stir regularly until not merely cooked but starting to crisp and caramelise. You’ll probably need to spoon out and discard some of the liquid the mince expels, as you want the meat to fry not boil. 2 Once the lamb has browned and caramelised, add the spices, cinnamon stick, dried mint and harissa, stir for a minute, then add the stock. Simmer for 30 minutes, then stir in the peas, olives andchopped fresh herbs. 3 Meanwhile bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain, then mash; a potato masher is fine, but for really smooth mash use a ricer or push the potatoes through a fine sieve with the back of a spoon – a little time consuming but worth it. Return the mash to the pan with the oat milk, butter, tahini and most of the feta, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top. Taste and season with salt; as feta is naturally salty, it won’t need as much as usual. 4 Heat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. Transfer the lamb to an ovenproof dish and spoon over the mash. An even covering with peaks in the mash is advantageous for crispy bits. Sprinkle over the remaining feta and the sesame seeds and bake for 35-40 minutes. Leave to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

These roots are very versatile and can be eaten raw or cooked, or even made into a delicious cake. By sowing regularly from early-spring until summer you could be harvesting your home- grown roots from early- summer right through until lateautumn, and even store some for use over the winter. Which variety? Carrots are grouped according to their maturity, shape, and size, although there is some overlap between groups. Early carrots such as Amsterdam and Nantes types are good for your first sowings. Maincrop types such as ‘Berlicum’ and ‘Autumn King’, while taking longer to mature, produce larger roots and are better for winter storage. Small round rooted carrots are good for containers and poor soils. As well as traditional orange types, look out for white, yellow or purple roots which are an interesting addition to recipes. How to grow Choose an open, sunny site with fertile, well-drained soil to grow your carrots. Round or stump-rooted types are best for stony, very shallow or heavy clay soil. If you struggle to grow a good crop in the ground you could grow some in a container, which works well. You can add well-rotted compost or manure to the ground during the previous growing season, but don’t add it just before sowing as it may cause the roots to fork. This may also happen if the soil is stony or the bed is poorly prepared as they try to grow around any obstacles. Before sowing, dig over the ground, remove any stones and make sure the area is weed-free. Prepare a fine seed bed and rake it level. Take out a shallow drill with a hoe and water the base. Sow the seeds 1-2cm deep in rows 15-30cm apart. Try to sow the seed thinly to avoid the need for thinning them out later. It’s best to sow seeds directly into the ground as carrots don’t transplant very readily.

Page 13

For an early crop, cover the ground with fleece or cloches in late winter and sow seed once the soil is warm in late February or March. Otherwise, wait until April to make your first sowing, as germination will be much quicker once the soil is warmer. Watch out for slug damage at this stage as they like to feed on young seedlings. To grow carrots in a container, choose one at least 45cm deep and fill with multipurpose potting compost. Keep the crop well-watered and thin so the plants have room to develop good roots. Growing on Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, carefully thin them to 5-7.5cm apart. The young seedlings are easily smothered by weeds, so you’ll need to weed the crop regularly until the leaf canopy suppresses any competition. Damage to the roots during thinning and weeding can release the odour that attracts carrot fly, so handle the plants with care. Carrots are fairly drought- resistant but will benefit from a thorough soaking, wetting the ground to a depth of 25cm, every two weeks in very dry weather. Beware of overwatering as roots are sweeter in relatively dry conditions and too much water may lead to leafy growth at the expense of roots. Sometimes, if dry weather is followed by very wet conditions the roots may split. This erratic growth is caused by the irregular water supply, so ensuring you keep to a watering routine can help avoid this. Rich pickings You can start harvesting carrots from 10-16 weeks after sowing depending on the cultivar. Initially pull some young roots from a few places along the row to allow the remainder to grow larger. With bigger roots and on heavy soils it’s best ease the crop from the ground with a fork. In mild areas with light soil you can leave carrots in the ground over winter. Cover the row with dry mulch, for example straw, up to 30cm thick to protect from frost. Watch out for damage from mice, slugs and carrot fly. In colder areas lift your carrots and store good quality roots indoors, layered in boxes filled with sand. Larger roots will last longer in storage so eat the smaller roots first. Pest watch Carrot fly larvae can be a troublesome pest tunnelling into the developing roots to feed and making the crop inedible. The most effective way to limit damage to your crop from this pest is to completely cover it with insect-proof mesh, making sure you bury the mesh in the ground to stop the flies sneaking underneath. The first generation of carrot fly usually emerges around early-May so you may be able to avoid some damage by sowing after this point. Harvesting your crop before late- August can reduce damage to the roots from the second generation. You could also grow a partially resistant cultivar like ‘Flyaway’ to reduce the risk of damage. Sometimes you may find aphids on the foliage or around the shoot tips – these will suck the sap and may encourage the growth of sooty mould. Potential damage can be limited by squashing them with your fingers.

The Month of Fresh Starts Doesn’t it feel like March gives us all a little nudge? The days are getting longer, there’s a freshness in the air that’s full of possibilities….and suddenly, there’s a feeling that maybe, just maybe, it’s time to shake things up. Winter can feel like a bit of a slog, can’t it? But March? With Spring arriving, the first flowers are out and the lambs are in the field. March is a fresh start wrapped in sunshine (well, hopefully!) So, what’s one thing you could start this month? A new habit? A little challenge? Something just for fun? Whatever it is, now’s the time. Let me know what you decide! Clear the Clutter, Clear Your Mind Spring cleaning isn’t just about giving your home a quick once- over with a duster (more’s the pity!) It’s about making space - and not just physically. Have you ever noticed how a cluttered space can make your brain feel just as messy? That overflowing wardrobe, the “I’ll get to it later” pile on your desk or even the endless tabs open on your phone or laptop. What if you let a little bit of it go? A tiny clear-out here and there can feel amazing. I know I always feel so much lighter, fresher, freer. Go on, try it. You’ll thank yourself later. Lent: A Little Pause, A Fresh Perspective Talking of People always think Lent is just about giving something up - chocolate, coffee, maybe even that cheeky glass of wine! And if that’s what feels right for you, brilliant! But Lent can also be about adding something good - something that makes a real difference, not just to you, but to someone else. What if, instead of just cutting something out, you used this time to, maybe, spend a little extra time with an elderly relative, check in on a neighbour or organise some proper, undistracted time with your children. It could be as simple as doing one quiet good deed every day - no need to announce it, just something between you and the moment. Because sometimes, the smallest changes, whether it’s giving up or giving more, can have the biggest impact. And finally, a Happy St. David’s Day on March 1st to all you lovely Welsh people – and Happy St. Patrick’s Day to my fellow Irishmen and women for March 17th. Have a great March everyone.
