I’ve just met Darth<br />
Vader’s corrupt<br />
brother, Taxi.<br />
I was arguing with my<br />
wife about which is<br />
the best vowel.<br />
I won.<br />
Tomorrow is Jamaican<br />
hairstyle day. I’m<br />
dreading it.<br />
My wife said she was<br />
leaving me because of<br />
my obsession with<br />
The Monkees. I didn’t<br />
believe her at first,<br />
but then I saw her<br />
face…<br />
I opened my electric<br />
and water bills at the<br />
same time. Needless<br />
to say, I was shocked!<br />

29<br />
<strong>Northampton</strong> child has his wish<br />
for a new bedroom granted<br />
Cohen, 11 is a remarkable young boy who faces daily<br />
challenges living with HAAS type syndrome and Spina Bifida.<br />
His wish was to have a new room, which was not only<br />
beautifully designed but functional. Make A Wish granted the<br />
very deserving Cohen his wish and teamed up with Talya from<br />
Kinderoo Children’s Interiors to help create his dream room.<br />
Cohen’s wish was to have a place where he could relax with<br />
his friends, a designated area that he could do his homework<br />
and ideally wanted to sleep on a top bunk, but his mobility<br />
made this difficult with a standard bunk bed.<br />
Talya from Kinderoo Children’s Interiors together with Cohen<br />
and his mum set out to create a fun modern space. One of<br />
the main features of his room was a bunk bed with<br />
customized storage stairs to allow easy access to the top<br />
bunk, and there was no doubt which bed Cohen was going to<br />
claim as his. His room had gorgeous high ceilings; so Talya<br />
decided to take a bold approach and give the room a loft feel<br />
with brick effect wallpaper and rich royal blue walls. These<br />
bold colours were offset with bold patterns and the union jack<br />
making an appearance in the accessories and bedding.<br />
‘These children go through so much on a day to day basis, that<br />
to see their reactions when they see their dream room come<br />
to life is one of the greatest experiences one could ever<br />
witness. I count myself very lucky to work with Make A Wish<br />
who truly make the impossible possible.’ Talya, Kinderoo<br />
Children’s Interiors.<br />
If you would like to help make more bedroom makeover<br />
wishes come true you can make a donation to<br />
Make A Wish www.make-a-wish.org.uk or for more information<br />
on this room contact Talya, www.kinderoo.co.uk<br />

Breakfast Cayenne Crumble<br />
31<br />
You will need:<br />
3 apricots 4 medium sized apples<br />
1 tsp cinnamon 2 cups of granola<br />
½ tsp all spice ½ tsp cayenne pepper<br />
2 tbsp honey<br />
Recipes donated by Lyndsey Garrett<br />
Prep - 5 mins Cook Time - 20 mins Serves 8<br />
I don't know about you but breakfasts I<br />
get bored of very quickly, so I’m always<br />
trying to create something new,<br />
something quick and always something<br />
delicious and nutritious. This breakfast<br />
Cayenne Crumble can be served straight<br />
from the oven, cold the next day or reheated<br />
and what’s great about the recipe<br />
that I’m about to share with you, is that<br />
it can also be served as humble homey<br />
comforting pudding.<br />
Don't be scared by adding the cayenne<br />
pepper, this gives a lovely warming<br />
sensation and many health benefits which<br />
is perfect on a cool morning.<br />
How to:<br />
‣ Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees<br />
‣ Core the apples and slice. Split the<br />
apricots, remove stone and slice. Put<br />
sliced apples into a bag (I used a<br />
zip lock sandwich bag) and sprinkle in<br />
the cinnamon, all spice, cayenne pepper<br />
and shake. Lay sliced apples in a<br />
shallow oven proof dish<br />
‣ Pour 1 tbsp of honey over the apples<br />
and layer the apricots on top<br />
‣ Top with the granola and drizzle with the<br />
second tbsp of honey<br />
‣ Bake in the oven for 20 mins - or until<br />
golden and crisp<br />
‣ Eat and I enjoy! I served mine with<br />
some Greek yogurt and a tiny drizzle of<br />
extra honey.<br />

The Advanced Driver Course<br />
Most people with a driving license, on our roads today,<br />
have never had driver training after passing the driving<br />
test. The advanced driver course is designed to provide<br />
this to members of the public. It increases driving skills<br />
and knowledge. There is a one off payment (£149)<br />
which covers all aspects of the course including the test<br />
fee. This payment covers a year’s membership of IAM<br />
Roadsmart as well as the local voluntary group,<br />
<strong>Northampton</strong> Advanced Motorists, which provides the<br />
driver training. Sessions are done in your car with one<br />
of our observers. There is no limit on the number of<br />
sessions; it depends on progress to advanced standard.<br />
Before committing to the course we can provide a driving<br />
assessment to show you what the course is all about.<br />
Most that do this training are surprised by the difference<br />
it makes to their driving.<br />

Cupcakes, Campaigns and Carnivals<br />
Helen Crawford, Alzheimer’s Society Services Manager<br />
for <strong>Northampton</strong>shire<br />
It’s been a busy few months at Alzheimer’s Society. In May we held perhaps our most<br />
successful ever Dementia Awareness Week with our new campaign to encourage people<br />
to be United Against Dementia. We brought together unusual pairings of celebrities to<br />
highlight the fact that we need to be ‘united’ if we are going to defeat dementia which<br />
affects 850,000 people in the UK, including 8000 people in <strong>Northampton</strong>shire.<br />
<strong>Local</strong>ly, we got the United Against Dementia message out at <strong>Northampton</strong> Carnival and<br />
at the Voluntary Impact <strong>Northampton</strong>shire Concert, both of which were fantastic events.<br />
We also worked with <strong>Northampton</strong>shire Police, who kindly helped us hold an information<br />
stand at their headquarters. Around the same time, the General Election was called and<br />
we found the Dementia Tax becoming one of the key issues being debated. We have<br />
long argued that people with dementia are unfairly treated compared to other<br />
conditions when it comes to funding the care they need. If you want to find out more<br />
about what the term means, or to join our campaign to ‘Fix Dementia Care’ then you can<br />
visit alzheimers.org.uk/dementiatax<br />
Tens of thousands have already signed our petition<br />
which will ensure the voice of people with dementia is<br />
heard by policy makers. In mid-June we held our second<br />
National Cupcake Day, which encouraged people to<br />
bake, buy and eat to turn up the heat on dementia. In<br />
the East Midlands we had an amazing 1876 people sign<br />
up to take part. I’d like to the opportunity to thank<br />
anyone in <strong>Northampton</strong> who rose to the challenge!<br />
Coming up next we have Memory Walk, which is our<br />
biggest fundraising event of the year. We are holding<br />
34 large walks across the country involving thousands of<br />
people walking for a future without dementia. The<br />
nearest to <strong>Northampton</strong> is in Bedford but if you can't<br />
make the journey keep an eye out for smaller walks<br />
organised by local supporters. You can sign up at<br />
memorywalk.org.uk<br />
If you’d like to find out how we can support you in <strong>Northampton</strong>shire or if you’d<br />
like to volunteer for Alzheimer’s Society, give us a call on 01832 736670<br />

POEM CORNER<br />
A Rewarding Day<br />
Poem donated by David Garrett<br />
41<br />
A day spent by a rippling stream<br />
is not one to forget,<br />
an autumn day, leaves trickling down<br />
plenty more to follow yet.<br />
Blue tits among bare branches chase<br />
while a robin sits close by<br />
a moorhen scuttles from the reeds<br />
with a high-pitched cackling cry<br />
Grey squirrels in a spreading oak tree<br />
branch to branch they leap<br />
hiding food in many places<br />
that their memory fails to keep<br />
The ducks come by, that in the spring<br />
were just fluffy balls of down<br />
now grown up adult birds they are<br />
dressed in natures feathered gown<br />
A flash of blue, a special treat<br />
a kingfisher zooms by<br />
to perch above the babbling stream<br />
a dinner there to spy<br />
A rabbit hops, ears pricked up straight<br />
looking for a bite to eat<br />
always ready to run off<br />
if enemies he should meet<br />
No sound disturbs this peaceful day<br />
only the country residents<br />
who have shared with me this autumn day<br />
and the tranquillity that to me it lent<br />
The damp grey dawn draws to a close<br />
and though fishless I have been<br />
I would not have missed it for the world,<br />
all the wondrous sights I’ve seen.<br />

World renowned dulcimer player & composer<br />
Over three decades Dan has built a niche career as a world-class exponent on<br />
the mountain dulcimer. In concert he presents a repertoire of traditional folk<br />
songs and airs from the British Isles, imaginative and atmospheric original<br />
compositions and the odd classic song to round a set off nicely. All are<br />
arranged in Dan's unique, thoughtful style and presented with considerable<br />
classical skill and a spoonful of English humour. With five CD albums released<br />
to critical international acclaim and sixteen international tours to date, Dan has<br />
won the hearts of audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.<br />
Rebecca Hallworth & Andy Crowdy<br />
Dan will be joined by talented actor and vocalist<br />
Rebecca Hallworth. Rebecca's sublime vocals compliment<br />
Dan's playing superbly. International jazzman Andy<br />
Crowdy will accompany Dan on bass and guitar. Andy is<br />
a hugely versatile and accomplished musician who has<br />
toured the world with many leading virtuosos in the jazz<br />
world. Dan and Andy have worked together on several<br />
albums over many years.<br />
'It's all incredibly pure and all incredibly beautiful.'<br />
Acoustic magazine review of Dan's latest album with<br />
Rebecca & Andy.<br />

SPOTLIGHT<br />
In this edition the spotlight falls on Ben Pearson<br />
Managing Director of Pro Peak Performance<br />
How would you summarise what you do?<br />
At Pro Peak performance we recognise people’s love for<br />
sport. We meet people daily who were heavily involved<br />
in sports in their youth but have lost their confidence to<br />
play as they got older. Many of these people regret no<br />
longer playing the sport they love but don’t know how<br />
to return. We aim to bridge the gap between couch and<br />
club, offering specific training 1-1 or in a group setting.<br />
We offer detailed, tailor made packages specifically for<br />
people’s needs. Ranging from nutrition, exercise and<br />
lifestyle advise. Bespoke packages available including<br />
transport and daily meals. We also run a boot camp style<br />
training called Fit in the Firs (Harlestone Firs) and newly<br />
launched Country Circuits (Upton Country Park) for<br />
people just looking to get/keep in shape.<br />
What first got you interested?<br />
I have been playing sport since I was a child, one of my<br />
biggest regrets was stopping between the ages of 16-30.<br />
I did go to the gym in this time period and I felt I wanted<br />
to learn more about the body, how it works, exercise<br />
and how they link. So I enrolled in an online personal<br />
training qualification and studied at home around work<br />
and family life.<br />
How do your family / friends feel about what you do?<br />
My family, especially my Wife and Brother are hugely<br />
supportive and encouraging. When my friends found out<br />
what I planned to do they said “of course that is what<br />
you should do, it makes so much sense.” Pretty much all<br />
of them had this reaction.<br />
What do you enjoy most about what you do?<br />
What I enjoy most is seeing and hearing about the<br />
results and enjoyment my clients are having.<br />
What ambitions do you have for the future?<br />
I would like to help as many people as possible<br />
return to sport and keep healthy. I hope to expand,<br />
train and employ staff to enable us to have a further<br />
reach across the country.<br />
What’s your background?<br />
My passion throughout my teenage years was<br />
cooking. I went into the hospitality and catering<br />
industry after qualifying at college. Since starting a<br />
family I moved into the Leisure industry (10 years<br />
ago now). My sporting background is Rugby,<br />
although I have had my hand in many sports over<br />
the years. For the last 7 years I have studied Gung Fu<br />
in <strong>Northampton</strong> which is a big part of my life.<br />
Who inspires you and why?<br />
I could list celebrities such as Donnie Yen, Bruce Lee,<br />
Dwayne Johnson, Sir Alex Ferguson, Bear Grylls,<br />
Ryan Giggs who have all inspired me in their chosen<br />
field for their mentality of doing whatever it takes.<br />
But my true inspiration is my younger brother Dan,<br />
who is all of the above and more with his strong<br />
work ethic, he has achieved greatness within the<br />
Rugby world and is simply a decent human being.<br />
