Local News August 2022 Get Your Business Noticed BUYERS MAKE A BEELINE FOR BROUGH With impressive sales and high visitor numbers, Bellway Yorkshire says it’s clear that an ever- increasing number of East Riding house buyers are making a beeline for Brough and in particular its Palmers Grange development. Part of the £200million Brough South project, Palmers Grange is located on the northern banks of the Humber Estuary and when complete will include a wide mix of two, three, four and five-bedroom properties amongst the 320 new homes being built. The mix of homes extends to house styles, with an array of bungalows, semi-detached and detached properties ensuring there really is something for everyone, from first time buyers to growing families and on to those looking to downsize. Emma Fitton-Cook, Bellway Yorkshire’s sales manager, said: “Palmers Grange ticks so many boxes it’s almost too good to be true. It’s in a great location, has a brand-new primary school, supermarket, office, retail and leisure facilities on its doorstep, and the new relief road provides quick links to Hull, Leeds and York.” Prices at Palmers Grange range from £218,995 for a three-bedroom semi-detached home to £389,995 for a four-bedroom detached property, and with Part Exchange and Express Mover packages being offered by Bellway, the question people need to ask themselves is not, “shall we a take a look”, but “when can we move in?” For further info visit www.bellway. co.uk, call 01482 904682 or visit the sales office which is open 10am to 5pm every Mon, Thurs and Friday, and 11am to 5pm on weekends. Relaunch for The Yorkshire Wolds: A Journey of Discovery book The Yorkshire Wolds are one of Yorkshire and England’s most magical but least known landscapes - dry grassy valleys through undulating chalk hills, unspoiled villages, a dramatic coastline, delightful market towns such as Beverley and Pocklington. The Yorkshire Wolds: A Journey of Discovery publication provides an insight into the rich history and culture of the Wolds, a story shaped by saints, soldier-adventurers, merchants, fisherman, engineers, architects, farmers, landowners, writers, and in most recent times, England’s greatest living painter David Hockney, whose work has created a national awareness of the natural beauty and unique landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds. This is also a practical guide, with detailed information and advice on how to explore the area whether by car, local train and bus, by cycle, horseback or, on foot, with suggestions on how to reach those special places, that will make a visit to the Yorkshire Wolds such a memorable experience. Following a great success of the 1st edition following its release in March 2017, the publication is back with a second edition and is available widely online and in book shops. The recent proposal by Natural England to consider the Yorkshire Wolds with an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty designation is now highlighted in the new second edition which was released at the beginning of June. Colin Speakman, co-author of The Yorkshire Wolds: A Journey of Discovery, said: “This updated second edition has only been possible thanks to the support of East Riding of Yorkshire Council. But what has delighted us is that the new edition has coincided with the announcement by Natural England that the area is being considered for designation as an Area of Natural Beauty, status which we believe is long overdue. “Equally exciting are the proposals to create an internationally recognised UNESCO Global Geopark in East Yorkshire, reflecting the scientific and educational value of its unique geology, archaeology, natural and cultural history, not just within the Wolds but much of the surrounding areas of East Riding and North Yorkshire, which again reflects our own work over the last decade”.

House & Home Read The Room We all love a period detail don’t we? This is not the seventies when everything was ripped out and chucked on a skip! If you’re lucky enough to have them, I’m very envious. Make the most of them. Use paint to make them stand out if the room calls for it. Allow them to shine by not crowding them with furniture. But reading the room means more than taking note of historical details. Watch how the light changes thoughout the day. Put lamps in dark corners. Position furniture in it’s most advantageous position. No one wants to walk around obstacles or be unable to reach their drink. Develop and Grow By now you will have decided upon a furniture layout and chosen your ‘forever’ pieces. These are the building blocks on which to grow. Adopt Longevity Goals Remember how our grandparents furnished their homes? When they purchased a new sofa or dining suite they expected it to last forever. Isn’t it about time we adopted this habit again? Not only is it better for the planet to ‘buy once and buy better’ but you will take time over the purchase. Knowing it will be with you for a very long time will stop any impulse buys and you will hopefully buy something that you will cherish and love forever. And knowing that you will not be replacing furniture again and again means that you can spend more on it. Quality over quantity every time. This doesn’t mean that you have to be boring and buy a grey sofa over a warm ochre velvet one. You just have to be sure you will still love it in ten or twenty years time. Give Trends a Miss Which brings me on to the dreaded trends that flood our shops and our Instagram feeds. You know that they are only there to make you spend money, right? I’m all for trends. I love researching them and writing about them. Even buying into them (but less and less actually). But be choosy. Add an item or two (if you really can’t resist), but don’t go so overboard your room looks themed. Again, ask yourself if this item you are craving will still look good in a few years. 8 DESIGN TIPS THAT WILL HELP YOU CREATE A UNIQUE INTERIOR Continued page 8 It’s very tempting when you buy a new home to want everything to be perfect as soon as possible. The same can be said when moving home, or just re-decorating. It’s natural and I’m as guilty as the next person. But! You will also want a home that reflects your personality, is comfortable to be in, makes you feel good, and suits your lifestyle. Am I right? A home that you are proud to show off to guests, but just as happy to retreat to when you want some me-time or time with the family. If all of this strikes a chord you will just have to be patient. It takes time to create a unique interior… August 2022 Get Your Business Noticed

House & Home Smaller items of furniture can be added over time. Slowly. The same goes for artwork, soft furnishings and accessories. Buy a piece of original art that you were drawn to in a gallery. Something that will be unique and loved. Make something. Cushions are simple to sew (forget about zips, look on YouTube for cushion tutorials with another form of closure), knit a throw, or throw a pot at evening classes. Buy What You Love And when you do buy, buy only what you love. Don’t worry too much about where it will go. You will always find a place, even if that too takes time. Mix it Up Try not to buy matching sets too often. It’s easier to buy things in one store but that just results in a home that looks like a furniture showroom. Even bedding can be mixed and matched. Cushions look better when individually chosen (will someone please tell sofa manufacturers that we don’t want six matching scatter cushions in the same fabric as the sofa), and a table set with mis-matched tableware, cutlery and glasses looks way more interesting. Get the heirlooms out and use them. Cadge a few knives from a relative, and cherish those things you found in a car boot sale. Add Something Unexpected Let’s not be too predictable. Adding something unexpected to our interiors gives them the wow factor. Play with scale. Buy the biggest pendant lamp available. An oversized piece of furniture can often make a small room appear larger. Paint your ceilings to match your walls. Wallpaper a ceiling! Collect taxidermy. Frame your children’s art. Display The History of Your Life Holidays (remember those?) have been a great source of inspiration and marketplace for me. Move things around. Move things to another room. And every so often take everything down from a shelf and start again. Read about styling tips and have a go. It’s a skill that takes time to hone – I’m still learning, but annoyingly some are born with it. The most unique homes are lived in, loved and filled with things that were chosen with care.

Antiques & Collectables Rob Walls and Janette Wilkinson share their love of all things collectable... Rob A trip out to an Antiques Fair is always a good day out, and made more special by a trip to the seaside at the same time. Tynemouth is well worth a visit. When we went, we stayed in Sunderland and visited Roker and Seaburn, both wonderful little seaside towns, and then ventured out to Tynemouth. We caught the Metro from Sunderland, a day ticket is a bargain at £5.40. The market is on every weekend, Saturday and Sunday 9am until 4pm. It is held in the old Victorian Station Platform. The metro takes you directly there; step of the train and there it is – so leave the car and take the train. There are a wide variety of stalls, Antiques, Retro, Vintage clothing, Vinyl Records along with many Arts and Crafts. There are also a number of artists selling their own original works. There were also one or two stalls selling Northeast ‘souvenirs’ that were a little out of place, but it all adds to the overall market feel. The architecture of the old platform is part of the visit. The bridge over the track, the glass roof and the walk out into the High Street all add to the Antique hunting experience. I bought three military badges, a prattware lid, two glass knife rests, a Sunderland pink lustre pot and lid, (pictured left) a carved bone perfume bottle and, what I was told was, a prayer wheel. Did I get a bargain? Yes, I believe so. I found the market well laid out across both platforms. It can get a little busy, but again, it adds to the atmosphere. Most stalls were set up with card machines, so you don’t have to carry lots of cash. There are a number of coffee and tea stalls, and some boutique food on sale. Janette You step off the train onto a Victorian platform that is the ideal setting for an Antiques and Collectors market. There are also many other Arts and Crafts stalls that will keep everyone happy during a visit. Tynemouth station has been gloriously restored to the former glory of its grand Victorian days. It is a grade 2 listed building which opened in 1882 as a railway station. It offers a covered space, which was lucky as the day we went the heavens opened and it poured it down. There must have been about 150 stalls covering both sides of the platforms. We rummage for treasures on the eclectic bric-a-brac, antique, collectors, retro, vintage and record stalls and then riffled through tables of second-hand books. There are also some fabulous arts and crafts stalls. I even bought a couple of early Christmas presents but I can’t tell you what the items are as one of the recipients reads this column. I saw one of the best recycling items I have ever seen. It was an old disused fire extinguisher made into a toilet roll holder. I should have bought one but I now have an excuse for a return trip. R and J Top Tips l Make a weekend of your visit, stay in one of the many small seaside towns in the area. l Take the train or the metro as it will take you directly to the fair. Tynemouth has limited parking. l Take a rucksack or bag to carry all your treasures home. l Take your time and peruse all the stalls, interesting items can be hidden amongst all the treasures. l Take time to visit the rest of Tynemouth, it is a delightful ‘old fashioned’ seaside town. l Talk to the stall holders, many are really willing to talk to you about their artisan crafts.

What’s On The Culture Train Tour 2022 will once again bring a taste of the Hull music scene to St. Mary’s, Beverley on Saturday September 3rd - Free Admission. The project once again funded by East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s ‘Active Creative’ arts fund takes established musicians to play to a wide range of communities across East Yorkshire and during 2022 this includes dates at Cottingham, Howden, Hedon, Driffield and Beverley. The final date of this year’s tour brings musicians to play at St. Mary’s once again with a line-up of the Arkut Brothers, Emma Fee, Carrie Martin and the Infidels The Arkut Brothers (right) are now gathering great attention locally for their new country style and great harmonies. Emma Fee (bottom right) is a very talented singer songwriter who has performed previously at St Mary’s within the band Happy Endings. She will perform a solo slot at this event as Emma has also recorded and appeared in many events on her own over the years and this will be an opportunity to hear her other songs in this fantastic setting. Carrie Martin (above) is a fantastic performer who has performed nationally and internationally over several years and is as much renowned for her guitar skills as well as her acoustic songs. The Infidels (top right) are a relatively new Hull band featuring some established Hull musicians and are making waves with their catchy soulful tunes. The project was first held during 2017 help take music from the City of Culture to communities who were not touched by events linked to 2017 Year of Culture such as Hutton Cranswick or Nafferton via trains running from Paragon Station along the Hull to Bridlington Rail line. This is the fifth year of this project and so far around a hundred acts have performed as towns and villages across East Yorkshire from Goole to Bridlington and Brough to Market Weighton and the first date of this years’ tour was at St Mary’s church, Cottingham as part of the Cottingham Springboard festival. The St. Mary’s gig runs from 7.30pm to 10.30pm and there will be refreshments available within the church. The first band will be on at 7.30pm so please come early. Chris Warkup of Quiet Riot Arts is looking forward to the project; “This is a great opportunity to promote Hull music outside of the city continue our project to bring talented musicians to churches and offer a chance to see great local music within your community once again at such a wonderful atmospheric venue. It is all free so check it out and a big thank you to the Active Creative fund for creating this opportunity for people to get out and see live music once again” More details on the events can be found on the Facebook page CultureTraintour or @quietriotgigs for Twitter. The Culture Train rolls into St Mary’s on Saturday 3rd September August 2022 Get Your Business Noticed Stiff Little Fingers are pleased to announce a run of UK shows for 2022 around their festival appearances and Ireland dates this summer and early autumn coming to HULL – Welly on Friday 26th August! Stiff Little Fingers were formed in 1977 in Belfast, Ireland. Along with the likes of the Clash, Sex Pistols, The Jam, Buzzcocks, Undertones, Sham 69, Stranglers, et al – Stiff Little Fingers were at the forefront of the punk movement. They wrote initially about their own lives, growing up at the height of The Troubles in Northern Ireland, in songs like “Suspect Device” and “Wasted Life”. In November of ’77, they released those two songs on their own Rigid Digits label, and sent a copy to BBC Radio One DJ John Peel, who started playing it every night. These were the first of what became SLF’s signature style: lyrics that meld the personal and political, music that combines the energy of punk with infectious hooks, and delivery that rings of honesty and commitment. In 1979 they became the first band ever to hit the UK top 20 album charts on an independent label with their debut Inflammable Material. The album chronicles the band’s anger and frustration at “the Troubles” in Northern Ireland, and calls on youth to create their own reality. After many studio albums and countless tours, Stiff Little Fingers find themselves more in demand than ever. They are currently working on a new album, and many of the new songs have been debuted at live gigs, with tremendous response from fans. With song titles like Trail of Tears, My Dark Places and Liar’s Club covering topics such as the recent economic collapse, Jake’s personal struggle with depression, and continuing racism in the west. Jake has said, “You’ve probably worked out by now, I don’t do “comedy” songs !!” But the songs continue to inspire fans old and new. Countless people have already contacted Jake to say that “My Dark Places” gave them the strength talk about their own bouts with depression. Though focused on their new material, they always play the old favourites at gigs. Jake said, “You have to strike a balance. The difficulty with a band like ourselves is to try not make it sound like a cabaret band. And yes, there are nights that we don’t particularly want to play “Alternative Ulster” or “Suspect Device” because we’ve heard them ‘til they’re coming out our ears. But there’s always the possibility that somebody out there has never seen the band before, never heard them.” Tickets are available from – https:// www.giveitsomewelly.com/event/ stiff-little-fingers/ STIFF LITTLE FINGERS ‘In Your Backyard Summer Tour’ play HULL Welly The Welly, Hull Fri 26th Aug WIN SLF TICKETS To enter just send your name, address and contact telephone number on a postcard to: SLF Comp, 31 Elm Drive, Cherry Burton, HU17 7RJ Draw closes 20/8/22. or enter online at: www.facebook.com/eycomps

Motoring Facelifted for 2022, the Skoda Karoq is a key player in the medium- sized SUV market, where the Nissan Qashqai remains the first choice for many but, increasingly, it’s facing some of the toughest competition from the Kia Sportage, recently reviewed in these pages and which has also undergone a transformation this year. What people want with a car like this is useful practicality, decent comfort and good levels of standard kit all wrapped up in a competitively-priced package. The Karoq delivers all of this and is based on the same technology as the rest of the Volkswagen Group, so proven reliability is a major plus too. Given the trends and the increasingly major concerns people have in terms of fuel economy and costs, one potential drawback could be the absence of a full electric or hybrid option. Instead, the updated Karoq is available with five engine options - three petrol and two diesel. The choice consists of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged petrols and 2.0 TDI diesels - the formerly available 1.6 TDI having been discontinued. The 108bhp 1.0 TSI is a three-cylinder unit that is surprisingly capable of pulling this crossover around, courtesy of the Karoq’s relatively lightweight build. The 148bhp 1.5 TSI is the VW Group’s latest four-cylinder petrol motor, so combines good power with decent efficiency helped in part by cylinder deactivation on light throttle loads. The 187bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine is reserved for the expensive if smart-looking Sportline variant. Despite highlighting the lack of electric/hybrid versions, I have to say running costs are impressively low The 1.0 TSI can return up to 48.7mpg on the WLTP combined cycle, while emitting as little as 132g/km of CO2. The larger 1.5 TSI’s official maximum figures are 46.3mpg (45.6mpg with the DSG auto), with CO2 emissions from 140g/km. But if you really do want to eke the best mileage out of every gallon, the manual 116PS 2.0-litre diesel is the sensible choice. It returns up to 58.9mpg with CO2 emissions from 125g/km. A choice of manual and automatic transmissions, plus four- wheel drive on Karoq 4×4 models, makes for a well-rounded selection of versions. Out on the road, comfort is the major plus point; the Kodiaq’s suspension system soaks up bumpy and broken surfaces and you’ll finish long-distance journeys feeling relaxed and untroubled. In shorter, urban, journeys the car is easy to handle and park despite its fairly large size. And if you plump for a 4x4 version, features include hill descent control and a special off-road driving mode that’s moire than a match for most situations. The revised Karoq range now consists of three trim grades, SE Drive, SE L and SportLine with prices ranging from £26,255 for the 1.0 TSI SE Drive model up to £37,725 for the range-topping SportLine 2.0 TSI 190ps DSG 4x4. Among the updates is a new eight- inch Digital Display that replaces the multi-function trip computer and analogue dials across all trim levels. The new display offers drivers the option of three layouts – tachometer, rev counter and digital with the ambient lighting colour reflected in the display and side sections. Skoda has also updated its range of option packages with a new Travel Assist Package Plus, which includes adaptive cruise control, front assist with emergency braking, blind spot detection, traffic sign recognition, lane assist and traffic jam assist, as well as usb-c port for rear view mirror, available on the SportLine model for the first time. A Safety Package, which includes front and rear curtain side airbags and Crew Protect Assist, is also available for the first time. With the standard seats fitted there is 521 litres of luggage space with the rear seats in place, rising to 1,630 litres with them folded The Skoda Karoq gets a new facelift for 2022 You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to family-friendly SUVs, but Skoda’s facelifted Karoq has much in its favour.

However, when fitted with the sliding Varioflex seats, rear- seats-up bootspace is anywhere between 479 litres to 588 litres depending on how far the seats are slid forward (they also tumble upwards), while maximum load space ranges from 1,605-1,810 litres, depending on whether you’re prepared to take those rear seats. You can’t have a variable height boot floor in conjunction with Varioflex rear seating, but hooks for shopping and a partition net are available. Overall, there may be sportier SUVs around, but the Skoda Karoq strikes a pleasing balance between comfort and driving fun and majors on comfort, reliability and flexibility.

Food & Drink heat rises. But also make sure your precious bottles are kept out of direct sunlight or you could get an effect known as light-strike. Light-strike occurs when UV rays come in contact with what is inside the bottle, actually destroying the liquid. This is why bottle glass is often green, black, or blue: to keep harmful UV rays away. Obviously anything in a clear glass bottle is intended to be enjoyed straight away. But remember that even coloured glass doesn’t completely protect your wine, so always keep your bottles out of direct sunlight just in case. Choose a dark space to rest them. Finally, bottles with corks being stored long term need to be looked after well. You don’t want the cork to dry out or it may shrink, letting in oxygen in and ruin the wine. Keep wine on its side to keep it in contact with the cork, so the seal isn’t compromised. Investing in a small wine fridge is worthwhile, but also remember that a standard fridge works well enough too. But for storing bottles long term, try using the back of a dark cupboard or wardrobe or tucking them under a bed, especially if you have a valance. Ultimately, remember that ageing wine is all well and good, but wine is for drinking. Rather than hang on to a hoard, buy what you can consume in a month and for anything you want to age, buy those special bottles from specialist wine merchants and independent retailers that specialise in cellar- worthy wines. Until next month - take care. Roy But which wine is best? Well, spicy foods tend to emphasise alcohol in wines, while sweet drinks will take some of the heat away. So depending on your goal either a few slices of jalapeño in your dry Provence rosé or if you want a bigger kick try them in a sweeter style blush or white Zin. And a few last thoughts on wine and heat, particularly on how to keep your wine in the best of conditions . . On account of the yeast, essentially, wine is rather sensitive to the elements. The younger a wine is, the more resilient, but the older it gets the more care it needs. Consider its age and also its volatility when storing it. Aim to keep wine temperate, avoiding extremes and wild variations. Higher temperatures tend to accelerate the ageing process, while lower temperatures slow it down. A good target would be 56 degrees, but anywhere between 40 and 70 degrees is also probably fine. Temperatures at below freezing will have a detrimental impact on the flavours but it is the high temperatures above 80 degrees for more than a few hours that will do the most harm and actually cook the wine, making it taste baked or jammy. So, avoid storing wine next to a heater or high up, like on the top of a cupboard or your fridge, because wine has around 3mg - 120mg and Champagne has between 15mg- 670mg of histamine. Histamines can be influenced by the yeast and bacterias used to produce the wines, but much of the histamines are from the grape skins, so red wines which typically have much more skin contact to extract colour and tannins will have higher histamine levels. The easiest way to identify wines with high histamine levels is wines deep in colour and high in tannins. So, for those of you who suffer with hay-fever, reds in winter and whites in summer could be a smart way of helping yourself. And while we’re talking about heat and wine, how does this appeal? I’m talking about adding jalapeños to your rosé this summer which, apparently, has been trending on social media. Not surprisingly, the jalapeños give a spicy kick to the wine. The idea of infusing rosé with flavours has been around for a long time, but with the sunny weather we’re experiencing, perhaps this is the time to add some spice. It’s been one of those “Phew What A Scorcher!” few weeks, which I’m pretty sure will have influenced your wine selections. Our two fridges have been working overtime keeping the whites and roses cool, but even if you prefer to stick to your favourite red I would still suggest they need a limited time in the refrigerator or ice bucket.. But, and this has been a big but so far this year, high pollen levels have meant those of us suffering hay- fever have been struggling. If that’s you, as well, the following advice is something I found really interesting. Basically, it’s suggested the rule of thumb should be red wines in winter, whites in summer. Why? Well hay-fever is an allergic reaction to pollen and our bodies overreact to pollen by producing histamines that cause a running nose and itchy eyes. But the wine you drink can add histamines to the body, increasing the effects of hay-fever. DrinkWell UK state that red wine can contain 20 per cent to 200 per cent more histamine than white wines. As a general guide, red wine may have anywhere from 60mg - 3,800mg of histamine, while white Roy Woodcock’s World of Wines Best Buys for August Please drink responsibly.

Health & Wellbeing We often think of it as an alcohol processor but the liver does so much more than this. Here’s how to keep yours in tip-top shape Your liver is a multitasking wonder. Sitting on the right side of your body, just under the ribs, it’s your largest internal organ. The immune system, digestive tract, kidneys, neurological and cardiovascular systems are all reliant on a well- functioning liver. British Liver Trust says ‘It’s the body’s factory, performing more than 500 important functions.’ Although it’s responsible for processing, altering, detoxifying and then disposing of toxic substances, such as alcohol and medications, another of the liver’s jobs is to break down food, convert it into energy and store it ready for use. It also stores vitamins, fat and minerals and deploys them as needed. Plus, it plays a vital role in fighting infection, breaks down old or damaged blood cells, and helps regulate hormones and body temperature. Some TLC However, it’s not invincible, and a diseased liver can affect the entire body. ‘We take our livers for granted yet we can’t live without them,’ says Dr Hans Grol, a consultant hepatologist. About 40 people a day die from liver disease in Britain, many under 50: ‘It’s now the leading cause of UK deaths in the 35 to 49 age group.’ While some causes of liver disease include genetic and autoimmune diseases, it’s thought that 90% of cases are preventable. Alcohol is the leading cause, with one in five drinking enough to potentially damage their livers. Obesity is another factor. ‘There’s an epidemic of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as two-thirds of adults are overweight and Love your Liver three-quarters of those with type 2 diabetes have a build-up of fat in the liver, which can lead to inflammation and scarring,’ says Dr Grol. In fact, NAFLD is likely to overtake alcohol as the leading cause of liver disease in the near future. Thankfully, there is plenty you can do to look after your liver… DID YOU KNOW? The liver is the only organ that can completely regenerate itself if injured, with no loss of function during the growth process. KEEP YOUR LIVER HEALTHY 1 TRY INTERMITTENT FASTING: Losing 5-10% of your body weight can stop, and sometimes even reverse, liver damage, with studies finding that a low-carbohydrate diet can dramatically reduce liver fat. According to Dr Grol, intermittent fasting is an effective way to do this. The 5:2 regime involves eating normally for five days and restricting intake to 500-600 calories on the other two. Or you could try 16:8, which involves eating within an eight-hour window only (e.g. 11am to 7pm). 2 HAVE AN ANNUAL DRINK DETOX: ‘Try a month off every year to reset your tolerance,’ advises Dr Grol. The more often we drink, the more our tolerance increases, so we need to drink more to get the same effect. But ‘resetting the button’ means we can revert to enjoying a glass or two without needing more. 3 …THEN TAKE DAYS OFF: Avoiding booze mid-week gives the liver a mini-break, pauses the habit, reduces your weekly unit intake and tests your dependency. You should aim for at least three consecutive days off. 4 ENJOY ELEVENSES: According to the British Liver Trust, regularly drinking moderate amounts of coffee may help to prevent liver cancer, lower the risk of fibrosis (liver scarring) and cirrhosis (severe liver damage) and slow the progression of liver disease. 5 USE YOUR OWN NAIL SCISSORS: Left untreated, viral infections hepatitis B and C can wreak havoc on your liver, leading to cirrhosis. ‘Never share toothbrushes, razors, nail scissors or tweezers,’ we are told. 6 MONITOR SOFT DRINKS, TOO: People who drink more than one sugary drink a day have more fat in their livers than those who don’t – even after accounting for their overall calorie intake, weight and various other factors. Researchers believe fructose in the drinks causes fat to be deposited in the liver. 7 EXERCISE VIGOROUSLY: University of Essex researchers found that ‘vigorous’ exercise is Continued on page 24 Eating the right diet, including fresh and dried fruit, can support the liver August 2022 Get Your Business Noticed

Think a boot- camp class of targeted cardio, a tennis match, or a 60-minute workout in the gym. 8 GET AN EARLY NIGHT: Studies found a link between disruption to our body’s circadian clock and liver disease. Get to bed by 10pm for optimum slumber. 9 WATCH YOUR MEDS: All drugs, from painkillers to prescription meds, can cause potential harm. Don’t take medication you don’t need, and never exceed the dosage or the recommended vitamin intake. Globe artichoke benefits liver and digestive health, reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels and liver inflammation. Could you have liver disease? There are often no symptoms in early-stage liver disease but tests for other complaints can include liver blood tests, which look at liver function. An infection or medication, such as statins, can affect results. Abnormal results shouldn’t be ignored – repeat tests to discover the cause. GPs could also request a fibrosis test (for signs of liver scarring), which includes advanced blood tests and scans. A FibroScan (transient elastography) uses ultrasound waves to measure liver stiffening. Depending on the results, a biopsy may be needed. If problems caused by alcohol are detected early enough, damage can be halted or even reversed by no longer drinking. Other problems may need medication or surgery. In extreme cases, a transplant may be required. Liver-friendly foods Studies show that a Mediterranean diet may halve the risk of non- alcoholic fatty liver disease due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. And certain foods have properties that have been found to support the liver. FRESH AND DRIED FRUIT: Blueberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, raspberries, cherries, grapes, bananas, papaya, mango, lemons, prunes and raisins. NUTS AND SEEDS: Small amounts of pistachios, hazelnuts, almonds and pine kernels, flaked or desiccated coconut, sunflower and sesame seeds, and walnut oil for dressings. VEGETABLES: Artichoke, asparagus, beetroot, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, raw cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chicory, garlic, leeks, kale, spinach and onions. SALADS: Alfalfa, chicory, celery, cucumber, fennel, radishes, Romaine lettuce and watercress. GRAINS: Millet, quinoa and brown rice. PROTEIN: Eggs, kidney beans, tofu. Health benefits of kidney beans Aside from being weight loss friendly, kidney beans may have a number of benefits when properly cooked and prepared. Improved blood sugar control Over time, high blood sugar may increase your risk of many chronic illnesses, such as heart disease. Thus, moderating your rise in blood sugar after meals is considered beneficial for health. Being rich in protein, fiber, and slow-release carbs, kidney beans are very effective at maintaining healthy levels of blood sugar. They have a low GI score, which means that your rise in blood sugar after eating them is low and more gradual. In fact, beans are better at controlling blood sugar than most dietary sources of carbs. Several observational studies indicate that eating beans or other low-glycemic foods may reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes.Eating low-glycemic foods may also improve blood sugar control in people who already have type 2 diabetes. Even if you don’t have this condition, adding beans to your diet may improve blood sugar balance, protect your overall health, and reduce your risk of many chronic diseases. Colon cancer prevention Colon cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide. Observational studies link legume intake, including beans, with a reduced risk of colon cancer. This is supported by test-tube and animal studies.Beans contain a variety of nutrients and fibers with potential anticancer effects. SUMMARY Kidney beans are an excellent choice for people with type 2 diabetes and others who want to stabilise their blood sugar levels. They may also promote colon health and reduce your risk of colon cancer. August 2022 Get Your Business Noticed

Solos welcome please ask for prices Luxury moving hotels, River cruising gives you a multi centre holiday allowing you to explore many towns & cities in one holiday. You only have to unpack the once and can enjoy amazing food and service. I love it! There are river ships that now rival the best of ocean cruise ships and you do not even know you are moving. Gone are the days of the old engines that rattled away now you glide along quietly and often I wake up and wonder if we have docked yet and we are still moving along. I love going out onto the balcony as the sun rises it is so peaceful with just the birds singing in the background. With land on both sides of the ship there is always something to look at too, I am sure you are all very familiar with the building shown above, it is the Houses of Parliament in Budapest. I have sailed along the Danube River several times but with the vast choice of excursions on offer there is always something new to see and do each time. Last month whilst cruising on the Scenic Jade my new experiences were taking to a bike for a 22 mile cycle from Melk to Durnstein - I had always wanted to cycle the river path and cannot wait to enjoy another opportunity. I also visited Salzburg for the first time followed by a wonderful drive through the Austrian Lakes back to join our ship. In Budapest we went to the baths! Not only did we have glorious outdoor bathing, indoors there were up to 30 mineral pools for wellness. The sights you see along the river can be different each sailing. This is the first time I have seen Walhalla I guess previously I have passed in the dark. I managed to get this photo whilst enjoying dinner. On the all inclusive 5 star ships dining is a fabulous affair complimented with good wines. Premium drinks are also often included throughout your cruise too. Scenic & APT Luxury are two companies to mention. Dress is very relaxed but gentlemen are expected to pop on long pants and a shirt with a collar in the evening. For special concerts or the captain’s gala dinner a jacket plus a tie are rather nice. In Vienna we enjoyed a private concert in the Palais Luxemburg (shown adjacent) and all took the opportunity to dress up to fit with the venue. River cruising is popular with couples of all ages, dinner is usually served at a set time but is open on many ships allowing you to dine with who you wish at a table size of your choice. Families are now been encouraged to sail on the Arosa river ships with certain departures throughout the year just for families. This is a great way to enjoy a cultural break for the whole family including the grandparents. Arosa also offer buffet meals for those looking for less formality and more flexible dining times. All good holidays must come to an end but just look at Budapest on our last night what a wonderful view as a finale. I am lucky to have sailed all of the rivers in Europe. Why don’t you get started? They are great value for money. There are exceptional offers available e.g. second person cruises for free, solo travellers without any supplement, best available room for the lead in price. We always try to fly clients from Humberside via Amsterdam, connections are great to most European cities. You can always ask for further details. Don’t miss out on travelling this year, a change is definitely as good as a rest and I would recommend a break as a great tonic.

Hull City - by Woody Mellor There has been a major upheaval during the close season at Hull City with several players moving on and nine new signings so far with more to follow. This has been followed up by a victory on Saturday against Bristol City at a packed and boisterous MKM Stadium. City are very much work in progress but there hasn’t been this close season excitement or anticipation for years. When Acun Illicalli took over the club he promised a new beginning and this is what he has brought to the club. Membership prices and matchday admission has been slashed, they have committed millions into new players and their contracts, the BBC are back, new International sponsorships have been secured, City have played in Turkey as part of his marketing campaign and he just lives and breathes Hull City. We all know that big money will be made if City reach the promised land once again but the owners are realistic in their project. They would like to reach the play-offs but getting the fans back and building a squad for a future push are realistic ambitions for this season. The one slight worry with the spending is the wage bill, most of the new signings seem to be on wages not seen since the Premier League era with figures of £20,000+ per week suggested. We need gates to rise not least the break- even figure could be around 17,500 which is 5-6,000 higher than last year. To finance this squad and future signings it is vital for people to return or be tempted by the new Hull City. Linked to the expenditure and contacts are the existing players. George Honeyman was offered less than the newcomers and he also looked unlikely to be a first team regular so he has left for Millwall. Jacob Greaves is not being tempted by his new contract offers despite being one of most promising players and financial asset and he needs to be secured. Keane Lewis-Potter has also moved on to the Premier League with a move to Brentford and a new London lifestyle. The fee for Lewis- Potter is £16 million potential rising to £20 Million with an additional sell on clause we assume. It was inevitable he would leave, not least his agent has been pushing a move since 2020 and it is probably a good deal for everyone as he will have more of an opportunity to develop here than at West Ham or Spurs for instance and his fee is being spent on newcomers rather than sat in the Allam bank account as when we lost Jarrod Bowen. So onto the new signings. City have signed eight players or nine if we include Adama Traore who was injured before he was officially announced and we assume signs in January when he is actually fit enough to play! Apparently, there are more to follow including two from the Premier League. All are happy to play their part in the owners’ dream. One could say that they have been offered decent wages to join us but then again, several players have turned down offers from Spain, Italy or elsewhere in Turkey to join us. We have been in a different transfer market to the previous summer when the club had a transfer embargo and it was just free transfers or loans. Goalkeeper Nathan Baxter has returned from Chelsea with a deal in place to make this permanent next year. We have signed Nottingham Forest central defender Tobias Figueirido (above) and two international midfielders in Ozan Tufan (pictured top right) and Jean Michael Seri. Tufan appears to be a bit of an enigma after an unsuccessful stay at Watford but he has almost seventy caps for Turkey whilst Seri was a key element of Fulham’s promotion campaign and cost then over £30 million. Winger Dogukan Sinik cost around £4 million from a Turkish club and three forwards have been added with Ghana International Benjamin Tetteh and Colombian Oscar Estupinan signed on frees. As well as these newcomers they finally confirmed a permanent deal for Iranian Allahyar Sayyamanesh who made a big impression in the final weeks of his loan deal last season, his permanent deal and that of Tufan made £7 million for Fenerbache. The squad are still pretty much a team of strangers at present and it will take a while for everyone to get fully fit and used to the speed and physical commitment required within the Championship. This will take time so August could well be a struggle, not least City play several of the promotion contenders but hopefully things will push on during the autumn. This is a new beginning at the moment and the City of Hull are excited by their football club once again. The passion has returned and hopefully we will can become genuine contenders once again after six years of stagnation and decline. A positive start for Hull City August 2022 Get Your Business Noticed Terry Neill has died aged 80. Neill accepted an offer from Hull City to become their player- manager for the 1970-71 season - he led his new team to fifth place in the Second Division and delivered mid-table finishes over the next three seasons. From 1971 he was also player- manager of Northern Ireland. In 1973 he stopped playing altogether so that he could concentrate on both managerial roles. Having impressed at Hull as a natural leader, in 1974 Neill was chosen by Tottenham as successor to Bill Nicholson.

Literature If you want something new to read, look no further. From highly anticipated debuts to thrillers to curl up with, our selection has something for everyone.... Trio by Johanna Hedman Thora, August and Hugo come from different worlds: one an art school dreamer, one a wealthy scion of the old elite, and one an ordinary boy from out of town. But over the course of two summers in Stockholm, they are drawn together. The novel starts years later, when Hugo, long estranged from Thora and August, is visited by their daughter – who has questions about her parents she believes only Hugo can answer – and the memories of those luminous days come flooding back. Modern but timeless, The Trio is a novel about the path not taken, the people we might have become, and the relationships that shape and haunt us long after they end. How To Live When You Could Be Dead by Dame Deborah James At the age of 35, Deborah James was blindsided by incurable bowel cancer – and was given a less than 8% chance of surviving five years. More than five years later – and just months after her untimely death – her book How to Live When You Could Be Dead shows readers how to build a positive mindset and, through this, think about what they could do if they believed they could do anything they want. To honour her memory, Ebury will donate £3 from the sale of each copy sold in the UK to the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK. Amy & Lan by Sadie Jones Amy Connell and Lan Honey are having the best childhood, growing up on a West Country farm – three families, a couple of lodgers and plenty of animals to befriend. Their parents are best friends too. Originally from the city, they’re learning about farming: growing their own vegetables, milking the goats, slaughtering chickens and scything the hay. The adults are far too busy to keep an eye on Amy and Lan, and the pair would never tell them about climbing on the high barn roof, or what happened with the axe that time, any more than their parents would tell them the things they get up to – adult things, like betrayal – that threaten to bring the whole fragile idyll tumbling down. The Bastard Factory by Chris Kraus Chris Kraus – the woman behind the phenomenon I Love Dick – is back with The Bastard Factory, which tells a story of betrayal and self-delusion spanning the years 1905 to 1975, taking readers from Riga to Moscow, Berlin to Munich, and all the way to Tel Aviv. Hubert and Konstantin Solm are brothers, born in Riga at the beginning of the 20th century. As the two brothers climb the rungs of society – working first for the government in Nazi Germany, then as agents for the Allied Forces, and eventually becoming spies for the young West Germany – their adopted sister Ev will be their constant companion, and eventually a lover to them both. The passionate love triangle that emerges will propel the characters to terrifying moral and political depths. The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell Following her award-winning Hamnet, Maggie O’Farrell’s latest historical thriller is set in 1500s Florence. Lucrezia is free to wander her palazzo at will, wondering at its treasures. But when her older sister dies on the eve of marriage to Alfonso d’Este, heir to the Duke of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio, Lucrezia is thrust into the limelight. Alfonso is quick to request her hand in marriage, and her father to accept on her behalf. Having barely left girlhood, Lucrezia must now make her way in a troubled court where her arrival is not universally welcomed. Perhaps most mystifying of all is her husband himself. Is he the playful sophisticate he appears before their wedding or the ruthless politician even his formidable sisters seem to fear? As Lucrezia sits in uncomfortable finery for the painting to preserve her image for centuries to come, one thing becomes worryingly clear. In the court’s eyes, she has one duty: to provide the heir who will shore up the future of the Ferrarese dynasty. Until then, for all her rank and nobility, her future hangs entirely in the balance. I’m Sorry You Feel That Way by Rebecca Wait From the author of the Waterstones Book of the Month Our Fathers comes a compelling domestic comedy about complex family dynamics, mental health and the intricacies of sibling relationships. For Alice and Hanna, growing up is a trial. There is their mother, who takes a divide-and-conquer approach to child-rearing, and their father, who takes an absent one. There is also their older brother Michael, whose disapproval is a force to be reckoned with. There is the catastrophe that is never spoken of, but which has shaped everything. As adults, Alice and Hanna must deal with disappointments in work and in love as well as increasingly complicated family tensions, and lives that look dismayingly dissimilar to what they’d intended. Together they must look for a way to repair their own fractured relationship, and decide whether life is really anything more than a tragedy with a few hilarious moments thrown in. Truly, Darkly, Deeply by Victoria Selman Twelve-year-old Sophie and her mother Amelia-Rose move from Massachusetts to London where they meet the charismatic Matty Melgren, who quickly becomes an intrinsic part of their lives. But as the relationship between the two adults fractures, a serial killer begins targeting young women with a striking resemblance to Amelia-Rose. When Matty is eventually sent down for multiple murders, questions remain as to his guilt – questions which ultimately destroy both Sophie and Amelia- Rose. Nearly 20 years later, Sophie receives a letter from Battlemouth Prison informing her Matty is dying and wants to meet. It looks like Sophie might finally get the answers she craves. But will the truth set her free – or bury her deeper?. Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata From the author of international bestseller Convenience Store Woman comes a collection of short stories. An engaged couple fall out over the husband’s dislike of clothes and objects made from human materials; a young girl finds herself deeply enamoured with the curtain in her childhood bedroom; people honour their dead by eating them and then procreating. Published in English for the first time, this exclusive edition also includes the story that first brought Sayaka Murata international acclaim: ‘A Clean Marriage’ tells the tale of a happily asexual couple who must submit to some radical medical procedures to conceive a longed-for child. Elizabeth Finch by Julian Barnes Neil is enthralled by Professor Elizabeth Finch, the teacher of “Culture and Civilization,” a class not for college students but for adults of all ages. It’s no ordinary course, nor is Finch an ordinary professor; author Julian Barnes writes her as singular and vivid, reserved yet commanding. The student and the professor strike up a friendship of sorts, and after Finch dies, Neil takes it upon himself to become a historian of his history teacher.

Beauty Rebekah’s Beauty Box Why You Should Trade Classic Black Eyeliner For Navy Navy blue eyeliner is the new black this season – think deep, indigo blues that are impactful as well as eye-enhancing, without ever being over the top. I asked two professional make-up artists why this shade is trending and to share their tips on getting it right. Here’s what they had to say… Get Acquainted With Navy’s Benefits “A subtle play with colour is a great way to bring out your features without making things too heavy – hence why navy has become a popular switch for black of late, notably on the A/W runways,” explains make-up artist Leanne Turgoose. “It’s timeless, soft and clean, but it also has a cool factor that feels modern. Plus, there’s nobody it doesn’t suit – navy is such a slight change from black; it maintains the intensity and definition black gives, but the blue hue brings out all eye colours with a softer finish.” Take A Haphazard Approach “The best bit about a liner with colour, like navy, is you don’t have to be an expert – anyone can do it,” says make-up artist Cara Knowles. “Pencils and eye crayons are great as you can take a smudgy, almost haphazard approach to get a diffused, subtle smoke out.” Leanne agrees: “I recommend a kohl pencil – like Urban Decay’s 24/7 Pencil in Sabbath – to keep things soft. They’re easy to use and provide you with more of an effortless finish.” Map Out Your Look First “If you’re doing a feline flick, before you go in with any navy, map out the outer line first,” says Leanne. “Look directly into a mirror and draw a line from the outer edge of your eye upwards. Imagine your lower lash line continues, as this will give you the perfect angle for your eye shape every time. Keep the liner on the lid as close to your lash line as possible. This creates more emphasis on the flick for an elongated eye shape. If you want to keep the look quite muted, go for jewel tones, like coppers, ambers and emerald blue.” Cara adds: “If feline flicks aren’t your thing, you can play with colour by just dabbing a small amount at the inner and outer corners of the eyes – adapt the look to your preference, there are no set rules.” Pair It With The Right Tones “Combine your navy liner with a wash of a terracotta-toned eyeshadow or lipstick,” advises Leanne. “The contrasting colours are an autumnal dream. I recommend using a shade like the VIEVE Eye Wand in Camel, or MAC’s Love Me Lip Colour in Bragging Rights. Both tones wear well with navy and make for a chic pairing, and cool tones like greys and taupes work well with navy, too.” Keep Certain Tools Handy “The final thing worth noting is you should try and have the right brush and Q-tip to hand if you’re creating navy feline flicks,” explains Cara. “Muji’s little buds are so skinny and pointy so you can perfect every eye look with ease, creating really thin lines, depending on your preference. Just soak one in make- up remover and drag it over any areas you want to sheer or thin out. If you’re a total liner beginner, use a brush that’s already angled, as it’s much easier to use than a pointed brush. You can pick these up from any art shop and they’ll work a treat.” Leanne adds: “If longevity is your issue and you don’t want navy transferring down your face, keep a loose, translucent powder nearby and dust just a tiny amount on top. This will prevent any oiliness on your lids from causing any transference.” Shop their favourite navy liners… 1. Metal Signature Eyeliner 11 Navy Metal by L’Oreal Paris - £8.99 2.

Gardening Timely Tips August isn’t the time to take your eye off the ball in the garden. Here are some of the main jobs: Top up ponds and bird baths regularly. Water fruit and veg plants daily. Prune all summer flowering shrubs, such as climbing hydrangeas, once the blooms are finished. Keep on top of weeds as they compete with your crops for nutrients and water. In the flower garden Ensure top-heavy dahlias are staked to prevent damage Water evergreen shrubs like camellias and rhododendrons thoroughly this month to make sure that next year’s buds develop well. Keep patio container plants well watered and feed with a liquid fertiliser every fortnight. Stake tall or top-heavy dahlias and lilies to prevent wind and rain damage. Dead-head lilies for a better flower display next year. Dead-head annual bedding plants and perennials to encourage them to flower into the autumn and stop them self-seeding. Cut back faded perennials to keep borders tidy. As penstemon flowers fade, cut them back to just above a leaf to encourage more flowers. Cut back herbs now to encourage a new flush of tasty leaves you can harvest before the frost. Prune wisteria after flowering by removing all the whippy side- shoots from the main branch framework to about 20cm from their base (about five leaves from the main stem). Trim any lavender plants after they’ve finished flowering to keep them compact. Collect ripened seeds and store them for next year. Leaving some seed heads in place can be attractive and allows the plant to self-seed in the surrounding soil. Mow meadows now to help scatter established wildflower seeds. Take cuttings of your favourite tender perennials such as pelargoniums and fuchsia to propagate them for next year. Finish dividing clumps of bearded Iris now so they have time to form roots and flower buds for next year before the cold weather arrives. Prune climbing roses and rambling roses once they’ve finished flowering (unless they’re repeat- flowerers in which case leave them). Spray ground elder (and other perennial weeds) with a glyphosate-based weedkiller, the plants now have plenty of leaf surface area with which to absorb it. Look out for symptoms of ‘clematis wilt’ including black discolouration on the leaves and stems of your clematis. Cut out any infected plant material and dispose of it in your household waste. In the vegetable garden The vegetable garden comes into its own in August, with plenty of delicious home grown produce to harvest. Here are some tasks to keep you busy this month: Water sweetcorn plants regularly and feed with tomato food to get the best cobs. Apply a high-potash fertiliser such as tomato food once fruits start to form on peppers, cucumber and aubergine plants. Continue to feed tomato plants with tomato food and remove lower leaves to help with air circulation and prevent disease. Pinch out the top of tomato plants to concentrate the growth into the fruit that has already formed. Aim to leave 5 or 6 trusses of fruit per plant. Cut back herbs to encourage a new flush of tasty leaves that you can harvest before the first frosts. Dry or freeze excess herbs to use in the kitchen later on. Thin parsley to help it establish a good root system before winter. Leave 25cm between each plant. Pinch out the tips of your runner bean plants once they reach the top of their support. This encourages side-shooting and more beans at a manageable height for picking. Pinch out the growing tips of your aubergine plants once they have 5 or 6 fruits. Pick fruits while they’re young and shiny. Limit the fruits on a squash plant to about three, but make sure these fruits are well established before pinching out the surplus. Spring-sown carrots and beetroot will be ready to harvest now although they can be left in the ground to keep growing. Continue to harvest second early potatoes now - perfect for salads! Start harvesting your main crop potatoes as the leaves yellow and die back. Store your potatoes in hessian sacks which exclude light but allow ventilation. Sweetcorn is ready to harvest when you can pop a corn with your thumbnail and the juices are milky. Lift and dry onions, shallots and garlic once the foliage has flopped over and yellowed. Store them in onion bags to prevent mould developing. Harvest French and runner beans little and often to prevent them from setting seed. Pick runner beans regularly to prevent them becoming stringy and to make room for developing pods. Leaving mature pods to set seed can prevent further flowers developing and reduce your crop. Keep harvesting courgettes before they become too big! Take cuttings of herbs such as rosemary, sage or mint now to bulk up supplies. Put cuttings in moist, well-drained potting compost (one part grit to one part compost) and place in a cold frame. Established clumps of chives can be divided now. On a sunny day, collect seeds of herbs such as dill, bronze fennel, caraway and chervil and dry in a warm spot out of direct sunlight. Chervil must be sown immediately. Keep an eye out for potato and tomato blight and remove and destroy any affected plants immediately to prevent its spread. Clear away any diseased and spent foliage around your veg plants to discourage pests and diseases spreading. In the fruit garden Here are the main jobs to do in your fruit garden this month: August Garden Jobs The last official month of summer is the perfect time to enjoy your garden while it’s still at its best. Children are on school holiday, lawns are in full use, and there’s plenty of delicious fruit and veg to fill your dinner plate. August 2022 Get Your Business Noticed

Remember to feed your lemon tree (and other citrus fruit trees) throughout summer with a special citrus fertiliser. Plant out any rooted runners of strawberries for a good crop next year. Keep birds and squirrels off your berries with netting or old net curtains. Protect your crops with a bird scarer made from CDs tied to strings. Harvest your fruit trees - cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines and apricots should all be ripe now! Early varieties of apple trees will be ready towards the end of the month. If you have a glut of autumn raspberries, blackberries or loganberries, freeze them on trays for a couple of hours and then bag them up to use over winter. Tidy up strawberry plants and remove any old straw from around the plants to improve ventilation and reduce the risk of pests and diseases. Prune the fruited stems of your blackcurrant bushes after harvesting. Cut back the fruited canes of your summer raspberries, leaving the new green canes for next year’s crop. Tie in next year’s raspberry canes to support wires or fencing. In the greenhouse Here are the main jobs to do in your greenhouse this month: Check plants daily and water them if the soil is dry. Damp down your greenhouse on hot days to increase humidity and deter red spider mites. Open vents and doors on warm days. Use blinds or apply shade paint to prevent the greenhouse from overheating in sunny weather. Tidy up fallen leaves and flowers to discourage disease. Looking after your lawn Here’s how to look after your grass this month: Don’t worry if your lawn is looking brown, the autumn rains will soon make it green again. Don’t feed your lawn with a high- nitrogen fertiliser now as this will encourage lots of lush new growth which is easily damaged by autumn weather. Lawn growth slows down in late summer so raise the cutting height of your lawn mower to help the grass cope.
FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT By Fiona Dwyer - Journalist, PR Consultant, DIY Your Biz PR Course Creator, Wife & Mum to two teenagers! 10 minutes of Zen could prevent Alzheimer’s New research backed by the Alzheimer’s Society suggests that engaging in 10-15 minutes of self-reflection every day could reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. It’s not clear how it helps exactly. It might be because it makes us calmer, reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol in our blood that has been linked to cognitive decline. Regardless, the study found that older people have significantly better memory, concentration, problem- solving abilities and superior brain health when they set aside time to quietly reflect on work, relationships, social encounters and other experiences. Experts say it could one day “reduce the risk of dementia with psychological treatment that help people build healthy thought patterns.” August heatwave We’re set for another heatwave this month with temperatures predicted to reach 32C (90F), so perhaps not as high as the end of July, but still VERY hot. Unsurprisingly, there’s a threat of a drought and hosepipe ban (you’d have thought we’d have figured out a more effective way to store all the rain we get by now). Anyway, make sure you and your pets drink plenty of water, put some shallow bowls of water out for the hedgehogs or other wildlife in your garden and fill up your bird baths! And keep your curtains closed! I’m looking forward to going to our lovely beaches on the east coast and swimming in the sea – such a great way to cool down – followed by fish and chips and ice-cream. Watch out for the gulls Talking of chips, there have been quite a few stories around of seagulls swooping in to steal chips out of people’s hands! And in Bridlington, residents are experiencing delays with their postal deliveries because posties are being harassed by seagulls. I’m not sure if the problem’s got worse or if it’s just because it’s summertime, but either way, you might need to keep your eyes peeled! Stay cool, stay safe – and have a great month.
