Local News 4 Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. Work on a new multi-million-pound business centre and innovation hub that will offer flexible office and workshop space for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has started on the Goole 36 Enterprise Zone. The Rail, accelerator and innovation solutions hub for Enterprise (RaisE) will provide 3,200 square metres of commercial floor space made up of grade-A office and workshop accommodation, much-needed high quality conferencing facilities, and a welcoming communal café hub that will act as a focal point for the business park. RaisE, in phase one, is being delivered by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and is expected to be completed by late 2021/early 2022. This £8.1million project has secured £1.5m from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and £1m from the Getting Building Fund, via the Hull and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership (HEY LEP), to help finance the project. Phase two will follow on the same site and will be a £50m centre of excellence for rail and research and innovation developed between Siemens Mobility and the University of Birmingham. In conjunction with the £200m Siemens Mobility manufacturing facility which is currently under construction, this exciting partnership between industry, academia and the public sector will help create a ‘Rail Village’ concept that will attract further added value activity from the wider supply chain. Paul Bell, head of economic development and communications at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The council is absolutely delighted to see building work on this business centre and innovation hub start. We know that, once completed, it will stand proudly alongside Siemens Mobility’s soon-to- be-built, state-of-the-art rail manufacturing facility, and will be another glowing example of how Goole is viewed as a flourishing economic area for investment and growth. James Newman OBE, chair of the HEY LEP, said: “This centre will provide a fantastic opportunity for SMEs to take advantage of modern and spacious office space, tailored towards businesses in the engineering, manufacturing and rail sectors with research and development in mind.” “We hope to see businesses take advantage of this unique opportunity to utilise the high-tech facilities the RaisE centre will feature as it is vital we create the supply and innovation chain to support our large businesses in these sectors.” For further information on RaisE, please contact Amanda at amanda.hoggart@eastriding.gov.uk New business centre and innovation hub to RaisE the possibilities in Goole

Make some time to read these three amazing books... Common Ground by Naomi Ishiguro It’s a lonely life for Stan, at a new school that feels more of an ordeal than a fresh start, and at home where he and his mother struggle to break the silence after his father’s death. When he encounters fearless, clever Charlie on the local common, all of that begins to change. Charlie’s curiosity is infectious, and it is Charlie who teaches Stan, for the first time, to stand on his own two feet. But will their unit of two be strong enough to endure in a world that offers these boys such different prospects? The pair part ways, until their paths cross once again, as adults in London. Now Stan is revelling in all that the city has to offer, while Charlie seems to have hit a brick wall. He needs Stan’s help, and above all his friendship – but is Stan really there for the man who once showed him the meaning of loyalty? My Phantoms by Gwendoline Riley Helen Grant is a mystery to her two daughters. Growing up, Bridget and her older sister Michelle were kept at a distance by their mum’s caginess and flair for the dramatic. Meanwhile, their Saturdays were spent with their father, a serial liar whose boasts and bluster were exhausting. Now Bridget is an academic in her 40s. She sees her mother once a year for a shared birthday dinner, they text occasionally about Mad Men and Elena Ferrante to feign a shared 6 Books Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. The Best Three New Books To Read This April interest, and they have settled into a strained peace. But when Helen makes it clear that she wants more, it seems Bridget’s childhood struggle will have to be replayed. And as it becomes clear that her mother’s life might end sooner than she thinks, Bridget struggles to know what forgiveness entails – and whether it’s possible to find meaning in a vanishing past and a relationship that never was.. The High House by Jessie Greengrass Francesca is Caro’s stepmother, and Pauly’s mother. A scientist, she can see what is going to happen. The high house was once her holiday home. Now looked after by locals Grandy and Sally, she has turned it into an ark, for when the time comes. The mill powers the generator, the orchard is carefully pruned, the greenhouse has all its glass intact. Almost a family, but not quite, they plant, store seed, and watch the weather carefully. Another stunning novel by Jessie Greengrass – author of the Women’s Prize For Fiction-shortlisted Sight – The High House explores the extraordinary and the everyday, how we get used to change that once seemed unthinkable, how we place the needs of our families against the needs of others – and who, if we had to, we would save.

8 Money The five best apps to help you save for a house deposit Yolt Good for: budgeting Track your savings and outgoings in one place, set goals and view a ‘total balance’ across all your bank accounts. There’s a quirky ‘stealth mode’ which turns your money into a different currency and amount should you need to show accounts to anyone without oversharing. Cons: you have to sign up for the prepaid debit card – similar to Monzo. Currently there isn’t a web app, you can only use it on smartphones. Chip Good for: automatic saving An AI-enabled app that pulls small but manage- able amounts from your bank account into the Chip account depending on things like payday and spending habits. The whole idea is that you won’t miss the money you save. Cons: the first £100 you save is a free trial, then at a cost of £1.50 every 28 days. When you decide to withdraw funds it can take a couple of days for them to appear in your bank account if done over a weekend. Plum Good for: serious saving Adjustable moods change how much you save each month, from ‘shy’ to ‘beast’ mode. It’s similar to Chip in many ways, but with the added feature of allowing you to invest your savings. A ‘rainy day’ feature allows the app to save or invest every time it rains, too. Cute. Cons: some features, the investing service and sav- ings challenges are only available with a Plum Pro account which costs £2.99 a month after a trial. Moneybox Good for: beginner investors Invest or save your round-ups and make scheduled or one-off deposits into one of three investment options – cautious, balanced or adventurous. Cons: the management costs can add up, it’s £1 a month after the first three months plus a small percentage of the amount held in your account. Starling Bank Good for: multiple goals As with other banking apps, round up your purchases to save without even really noticing. De- posit cheques up to £500 from your mobile phone by taking a picture through the app and save into separate pots for different targets: home deposit, hen dos, 21 June… Cons: deals listed in the Marketplace section may not be the best available rate, but one partnership with CreditLadder is specifically aimed at renters who can build up a history of on-time payments and boost credit scores - useful for home-buying further down the line.

Gardening 12 Please mention when responding to advertisers. Thank you. Spring is in full swing, but the weather can catch us out with unpredictable changes from mild spells to low temperatures and chilly winds. Gardening advice has to be adjusted to take into account the weather. Each Spring brings different weather from the previous year. In sheltered parts of the country, May is a month when more tender plants can be put outside, but only to harden off, and not in exposed areas. All the country should be frost free by the end of May, but it is always an idea to have a fleece or cloche handy. May is “Chelsea Chop” (see page 13) time, and it is great for stopping some plants getting too big and leggy, and with others, staggering flowering times. The plant needs to be of a reasonable size and it is important not to chop too early in May if plants have just not reached the right growing stage delayed by a chilly spring. What to plant in May Gardeners are keen to get planting but we need to keep an eye on the weather - so what can we plant in May? In the veg plot: Broad beans, Runner beans, Peas, Onions, Garlic, Carrots, salad crops, Leeks, Strawberries. In the garden: all hardy perennials & evergreens. These are plants you may buy from the garden center or online, which are described as hardy. In terms of annuals you can plant out Sweet peas, and Sow hardy annuals where they are to flower such as Sunflowers, Cornflowers, Zinnia, Nasturtium, Calendula, Nigella, and Cerinthe major ‘Purpurascens’. Delay planting outside: Even in May the weather can still be cold and some plants are best under glass and / or delay planting out at the end of the month or Early June. These are the more tender vegetables which are: French Beans, Squashes, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Melon, Chillies, Aubergine Sweet corn, Courgettes and Sweet peppers. May is tomato time, buy plants to grow on in the greenhouse, or late in May when all risk of frost has passed tomatoes can be planted out in the veg plot in a sunny spot. Tomatoes need attention for a good crop. By the very end of May/early June everywhere in the country is usually frost free, and it is safe to plant out tender Bedding plants, and non-hardy plants such as Agapanthus, Canna Lilly, Dahlias. A job for May, whatever the weather, is to stake perennials. I always leave this task too late and end up trying to persuade the delicate stems of a Peony through the hoops of a plant support. If you planted Dahlias earlier in the year, the growth takes about 6 weeks to reach to soil surface, which can be around May time so if there is a frost it will need to be protected. Plant out sweet peas during April and May. They are half hardy, and will withstand a good degree of cold, but it is essential plants are hardened off before planting out. Sweet peas look just great in the border climbing up an obelisk or suitable support and add colour, height and best of all scent. May Gardening Advice
House & Garden 13 To contact please Email: ask@daltonspire.co.uk • Telephone: 01964 503 091 The Chelsea Chop is a way of stopping back herbaceous and perennials plants to make them bushier, and flower slightly later. It’s good for plants which get leggy later in the year, such as Nepeta, by chopping it in May growth will be checked, and the plant will throw out more shoots and flower later. This makes it less leggy and more bushy. The Chelsea chop is really a light prune, and the result is a more compact plant which will flower slightly later. Traditionally executed in Late May, the idea is to prune the plant back by about a third, which means reducing the plant stems. You can either chop the whole plant, or selected plants in the group or individual stems on the plant cut back to stagger flowering. Experiment to vary flowering times and to make plants more bushy. I grow Nepeta as Lavender struggles to grow well in my garden which tends to be wet, especially over winter which Lavender hates. Later in the growing season Nepeta sprawls all over the place, refuses to be contained by plant supports and lies on adjacent plants. The way to tame it and other plants, which you wish were smaller and neater, is to use the Chelsea Chop; its very effective. The downside of Chelsea Chop is later flowers, and sometimes smaller.

Thank you. Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband. HOW ARE YOU DOING? Now that restrictions are easing, I wanted to check in with you all to see how you’re doing. Have you gone shopping yet (and I don’t mean the supermarket), did you go straight out to the pub, have you had a meal out or have you been away for a weekend staycation somewhere? Or are you taking your time to ease yourself back in? There’s no right or wrong way to approach it as long as you’re still remembering your masks, washing your hands and socially distancing. The sunshine is certainly helping (I hope it’s sunny when you’re reading this!) There really does seem to be an air of optimism this time round though, doesn’t there? I’ve had my first Covid jab and looking forward to my second one in June. Onwards and upwards, as the saying goes! HAIR CUT….FINALLY! Well, thank goodness for that! I feel so much lighter and I can actually see. My fringe was below my nose and I had this side sweep thing going on that wasn’t a good look, I can tell you! Maybe if we were back in the 1970s! And, of course, shorter hair is quicker to dry so it also helps speed up my morning routine! An added bonus! Have you managed to get an appointment yet? BACK TO THE …..70s? Talking about the 1970s, they are making a comeback in terms of fashion. I was looking for a pair of jeans for my daughter last week - and flares are back, as are something called ‘puddle’ trousers. Basically, for those of you who don’t know, puddle trousers (pictured) are exactly what they sound like - long, baggy trousers that puddle around your ankles. Never having been a fashionista, I think they need hemming!!!! Yes, I know I sound like my mother! I’d be interested to find out how many people trip over them, though! Just saying! And finally, let’s enjoy our new- found freedom as restrictions continue to lift! Take care and stay safe. Fiona x Twitter: @fionadwyer • Facebook: Fiona Dwyer PR Fiona’s Word
