With summer just around the corner, there are<br />
many reasons why you would want to eat better<br />
and get fit. Estimates suggest one in sixteen of<br />
us live with Type 2 diabetes and some of us don’t<br />
even know it! You can make changes and our<br />
ideas on pages 14-15 may get you on the path to<br />
managing your lifestyle.<br />
Whitehouse Primary School<br />
We are really excited to introduce some amazing<br />
young guest writers and editors from Whitehouse<br />
Primary School. You’ll love what they have to say<br />
about doughnuts, their jokes are hilarious and<br />
let’s hope you can do the wordsearch. You can<br />
also find out more about them.<br />
Artists in Residence<br />
I hope you love the pictures from Nyah, one of<br />
our amazing artists in residence and her brother<br />
Charlie. The colours are fantastic – they are so<br />
bright and cheerful. Charlie’s sunset picture is<br />
definitely getting me in the mood for holiday!<br />
Did you see the fantastic map drawn by our other<br />
artist in residence Lucas on page 4?<br />
Artists in Bloom<br />
Every week the “In Bloom” volunteers dig, weed<br />
and plant to make our towns and villages look<br />
beautiful. Our Artists in Bloom competition aims<br />
to find an artist whose work will complement<br />
their amazing endeavours. The piece of art will<br />
be presented to the RHS judges to show how our<br />
communities work together.<br />
What’s Inside<br />
Hello Readers...<br />
It’s back to nature for home design - eco-friendly<br />
with textured accessories providing the wow<br />
factor. Wooden shutter blinds are the latest musthave<br />
window dressing, so go local with Universal<br />
Blinds. It may be getting warmer but now is the<br />
time to think about your heating - and underfloor<br />
could be the way to go. Turn to pages 46-47.<br />
In the meantime support our community and<br />
make sure you keep your business essentiallylocal<br />
