dozens of wonderful galleries, museums and great<br />
cities, all on my down-time. I have a great life as a<br />
Wandering Minstrel!”<br />

the new CD, plus a selection from the vast and<br />

Rod Stewart, who covered Steve’s song “A Friend<br />
For Life”, describes him as “One of the finest lyricists<br />
Britain has produced.”<br />
The Albert Hall was built at the turn of the century<br />
and designed in the style of an Edwardian music hall.<br />
It is renowned for generating a great atmosphere<br />
and giving the audience a really intimate experience.<br />

TAROSCOPES<br />
Air signs<br />
Libra, Aquarius, Gemini<br />
(Temperance, King of Coins, Justice)<br />
A new outlook, with the rebalancing Temperance,<br />
helps you get on top of your money and feel in<br />
control. The King of Coins brings genuine insight<br />
and shrewd ideas about how to make less go<br />
further, have ideas about how to invest wisely,<br />
how to even (dare I say) enjoy managing your<br />
fi nances for the best. Justice reinforces this is the<br />
right thing to be working on, right now, and will<br />
bring you good karma and good fortune. You’re<br />
future proofi ng well, and it will feel empowering.<br />
Fire signs<br />
Leo, Aries, Sagittarius<br />
(Ace of Wands, Three of Swords, Six of<br />
Cups)<br />
A new insight on an old wound or betrayal<br />
sheds new light on things, and you fi nd you can<br />
forgive, forget and even rekindle as shown by<br />
the Three of Swords and Six of Cups. They didn’t<br />
do what you thought they did. It wasn’t their<br />
fault (entirely). The Ace of Wands brings renewal<br />
and reunions, a fresh wave of understanding<br />
and illuminating revelations. Use what you learn<br />
to rebuild bridges and reforge the bond that<br />
once was so strong.<br />
Earth signs<br />
Capricorn, Virgo,<br />
Taurus<br />
(Four of Wands, Five of Coins, Queen of<br />
Cups)<br />
Okay, so there was a setback. There was a<br />
loss or slip or delay. The Five of Coins sees<br />
you feeling regret and sadness at something<br />
which didn’t manifest as hoped. Mourn it, but<br />
don’t dwell here. The Queen of Cups visits<br />
you to help you heal, take stock, extract a life<br />
lesson and feel better about it all. The Four<br />
of Wands brings better news, pretty darn fast<br />
too. A new opportunity will emerge within the<br />
month to do something different, and better.<br />
Don’t worry, all will be well.<br />
Water signs<br />
Cancer, Pisces,<br />
Scorpio<br />
(The Empress, Three of Coins, Two of Cups)<br />
Hello secret admirer! The Empress and Two<br />
of Cups combine to bring true and lasting<br />
love your way (even if it’s that rekindled with<br />
a current partner). The Three of Coins shows<br />
this admirer sees you as you are, and admires<br />
you enormously. This is more than a romantic<br />
attraction, they respect your personality and<br />
achievements too. So, open your eyes to those<br />
who smile shyly at you, or seem to linger in your<br />
company. If you’re happily attached then be<br />
super kind to your other half and activate this<br />
well of appreciation they’ve been meaning to<br />
share with you.<br />

Pizza!<br />
Pizza is a takeaway favourite for<br />
many and it is easy to see why.<br />
This versatile dish can be meaty or<br />
vegetarian and the golden yet gooey<br />
cheese that often engulfs pizza is<br />
truly delicious.<br />
Many early ‘pizzas’ are documented<br />
by various cultures. Essentially a<br />
flatbread with various toppings.<br />
Alongside this, the style has<br />
developed over the years, most likely<br />
starting with the focaccia, a flatbread<br />
that was well known as far back as<br />
Roman times.<br />
“an excellent Neapolitan pizza<br />
I had at The Rustic Crust”<br />
Hi everyone,<br />
I’m Jeremy and<br />
I run Jeremy’s<br />
Food Tour.<br />
Through my<br />
passion for<br />
food, I share restaurant reviews, help<br />
promote venues and products, create<br />
cakes and develop recipes. Follow<br />
me @JeremysFoodTour on<br />
for recipes and foodie inspiration!<br />
JeremysFoodTour.com<br />
It is widely believed that the modern<br />
pizza, as we know it today, evolved<br />
from similar flatbread dishes in the<br />
18th and 19th century in Naples,<br />
Italy. Today we can easily enjoy a<br />
multitude of pizzas from the more<br />
traditional Neapolitan style pizza<br />
with its thin base, charred, light and<br />
chewy crust and rich tomato sauce<br />
to the Chicago style ‘deep dish’ pizza<br />
layered high with cheese, pizza sauce<br />
and, often, meaty toppings.<br />
Whichever style of pizza you enjoy,<br />
I am sure that you will like the<br />
familiarity of the flavours and textures<br />
that these recipes contain whilst also<br />
being surprised and intrigued by<br />
the variation on this popular, familiar<br />
classic.<br />

Flatbread Frying<br />
Pan Pizza<br />
Serves: 4<br />
Cooking time: 30 minutes<br />
(including the dough<br />
preparation).<br />
400g plain flour,<br />
1/2 tsp salt,<br />
220ml warm water,<br />
4 tbsp vegetable oil,<br />
5 tbsp pizza sauce<br />
(see chicken pizza for recipe.<br />
Mozzarella & pizza toppings of<br />
choice).<br />
Method<br />
Place the flour & salt into a<br />
large bowl & slowly add the<br />
water mixing together with<br />
your hands. Add water until<br />
a dough is formed. Add the<br />
oil & knead for around 5 mins<br />
until the dough is soft. Leave<br />
the dough to rest for around<br />
10 mins. Divide the dough into<br />
4 balls and using a little flour<br />
roll into 4 thin pizza bases the<br />
size of a frying pan. Place the<br />
dough into the frying pan over<br />
a medium heat & top with the<br />
pizza sauce and toppings. Cook<br />
for 2 mins then place under<br />
the grill on high as close to the<br />
flame as you can for 3-4 mins<br />
until the mozzarella is golden<br />
and bubbling.<br />
Chicken Pizza<br />
Serves: 2<br />
Cooking time: 20 minutes<br />
2 chicken breasts<br />
mozzarella,<br />
pepperoni (or any toppings<br />
you like)<br />
For the pizza sauce:<br />
1 tin of chopped tomatoes<br />
2 cloves of garlic<br />
150g tomato purée<br />
1 tbsp granulated sugar<br />
1 tbsp mixed Italian herbs<br />
pinch of salt and pepper<br />
Method<br />
Butterfly the chicken breasts,<br />
not quite cutting all the way<br />
through. Place between two<br />
sheets of greaseproof paper<br />
& flatten with a rolling pin until<br />
around 1 to 2cm in thickness.<br />
Place on a baking tray into<br />
an oven on gas mark 5 for<br />
around 15 mins until cooked<br />
through. To make a pizza<br />
sauce, put tinned tomatoes,<br />
tomato purée, garlic, herbs,<br />
sugar & salt & pepper into a<br />
blender until smooth & well<br />
combined. (Freeze the left-over<br />
sauce). Place the cooked<br />
chicken breast into a frying pan<br />
& top with the pizza sauce,<br />
mozzarella & toppings of your<br />
choice. Grill on high for 3-4<br />
mins, getting the frying pan as<br />
close to the flame as possible.<br />
Remove when the cheese is<br />
golden & bubbling. Enjoy with<br />
coleslaw & potato wedges.<br />
Pizza Sauce<br />
Roasted Vegetables<br />
Serves: 4 Cooking time: 1 hour<br />
2 courgettes - sliced<br />
200g cherry tomatoes - halved<br />
3 peppers (green, yellow & red<br />
cut into strips)<br />
1 red onion cut into chunky<br />
wedges<br />
400g passata<br />
4 tbsp tomato purée<br />
2 tbsp vegetable oil<br />
3 cloves garlic - ¬crushed<br />
1 tbsp oregano<br />
1 tbsp basil<br />
1 tbsp granulated sugar<br />
1 tbsp parmesan<br />
125g mozzarella<br />
100g pepperoni slices<br />
Salt & pepper to taste<br />
Method<br />
Add the courgettes, tomatoes &<br />
peppers to a large roasting tin.<br />
Drizzle over the vegetable oil and<br />
season with salt & pepper. Mix<br />
well & roast for 20 minutes on gas<br />
mark 5. While the vegetables roast,<br />
mix together the passata, tomato<br />
purée, garlic, oregano, basil, sugar,<br />
salt & pepper, two thirds of both<br />
the mozzarella & pepperoni diced<br />
and 1tbsp finely grated parmesan.<br />
Mix well. Add the red onion to the<br />
vegetables, mix well & return to the<br />
oven for a further 20 mins. Remove<br />
the vegetables from the oven, mix<br />
through the pizza sauce & put into<br />
a large pie dish. Top with slices of<br />
pepperoni & mozzarella & place<br />
back into the oven for 15 mins.<br />
Place under the grill on a high heat<br />
until the mozzarella is golden &<br />
bubbling, around 5 mins. Enjoy!

Make Your Home Bigger<br />
For Under £1000!<br />
Many of us only reach<br />
into our lofts twice a<br />
year to grab the box of<br />
Christmas decorations<br />
and the suitcases come<br />
holiday time, yet it can be<br />
a space you could make<br />
much more use of.<br />
A loft can be a useful<br />
storage area for personal<br />
possessions we want to keep<br />
long term, but don’t need<br />
regular access to, or even<br />
a ‘seasonal wardrobe’. For<br />
many householders it’s a case<br />
of storing cardboard boxes<br />
in a rather haphazard way,<br />
pushed through the loft hatch<br />
and positioned as carefully as<br />
possible.<br />
SAFE ACCESS<br />
If you’re going up into<br />
the attic it’s wise to have<br />
someone on hand to<br />
hold the ladder and for<br />
you to pass items to. For<br />
added safety, especially if<br />
you regularly access your<br />
loft, it’s a good idea to fit<br />
a loft ladder which folds<br />
away up into the loft<br />
hatch. With hand rails for<br />
stability, and easy access<br />
features, they really<br />
make sense.<br />
More Than Loft Ladders<br />
(www.locallofts.uk) specialise<br />
in making homes bigger by<br />
converting lofts into safely<br />
accessible storage spaces. If<br />
you want to make more of<br />
your loft installing wooden<br />
loft boards is an option to<br />
consider. With a bit of careful<br />
research, someone who is<br />
competent in DIY skills could<br />
carry this out. If you’d rather<br />
spend your weekends doing<br />
something nice More Than<br />
Loft Ladders are the local<br />
experts who can help you.<br />
All our boarding is raised<br />
away from the joists to<br />
accommodate your insulation<br />
and leave an air gap to<br />
maintain ventilation, keeping<br />
your loft nice and dry.<br />
Most of our cheaper<br />
competitors do not raise the<br />
CREATURES<br />
IN SITU<br />
If your loft is currently<br />
home to bats, a<br />
protected species, you<br />
will first need to have<br />
a bat survey and may<br />
be required to obtain<br />
a mitigation licence to<br />
carry out work. The<br />
Bat Conservation Trust<br />
(www.bats.org.uk) will be<br />
able to advise.<br />
flooring sufficiently which<br />
means your insulation is not<br />
as effective, and with fuel<br />
prices on the rise this can be a<br />
huge false economy. As well<br />
as creating a floor space we<br />
have several other innovative<br />
storage solutions including<br />
truss shelving, clothes rails,<br />
storage boxes and vacuum<br />
packs.<br />
We also bust the myth that<br />
new homes can’t have the loft<br />
boarded, all our work meets<br />
NHBC requirements and will<br />
not void the warranty on new<br />
homes.<br />
DID YOU KNOW?<br />
Government guidelines<br />
recommend a minimum<br />
270mm thickness for loft<br />
insulation. Getting your<br />
loft boarded is the perfect<br />
time to top up that<br />
insulation and reduce<br />
those heating bills.<br />

VW Tiguan<br />
Tim Saunders is an advanced<br />
motorist and journalist. He<br />
has always been passionate<br />
about motoring and regularly<br />
reviews cars from the leading<br />
manufacturers. His Youtube<br />
channel videos have been watched<br />
more than 275,000 times. Tim aims to<br />
boost his subscribers from 300 to over 1,000.<br />
His first report on a BMW 520i was<br />
published in the Dorset Echo when he<br />
was 17 (just after passing his driving<br />
test) in 1995. He went on to become<br />
business and motoring editor at the<br />
Bournemouth Echo. Now, his engaging<br />
and informative reviews are published<br />
in newspapers and magazines in the<br />
UK and abroad. Visit his website: www.<br />
testdrives.biz<br />
I sit inside the VW Tiguan<br />
where even the heating is<br />
operated through swiping.<br />
Save me. You have to be<br />
precise with this stuff<br />
otherwise it just won’t work.<br />
This is a problem when<br />
driving because you really<br />
have to focus on this rather<br />
than devoting 100 per cent<br />
attention to the road. And<br />
that is not good. My wife has<br />
to deal with it for me. There<br />
is such a thing as driving<br />
without due care and<br />
attention, you know.<br />
In Hampshire alone deaths caused<br />
by drivers using mobile phones<br />
include a school crossing patrol<br />
and a cyclist, the latter happened<br />
to be one of my wife’s students.<br />
We all do well to remember that<br />
cars are killing machines. The<br />
more basic the vehicle the better it<br />
is, I believe.<br />
Inside the nearly £33,000 Tiguan<br />
I curse how technology continues<br />
to take us all over while Ken Dodd<br />
sings Happiness, oh happiness.<br />
It’s the first time I’ve actually<br />
listened to this song all the way<br />
through; I really should have<br />
done that before I spoke to him a<br />
few years ago. I smile. How true,<br />
that success in life should be<br />
measured by happiness instead<br />
of money.<br />
There are some good things about<br />
this sports utility vehicle. The<br />
wheel base is wide enough to<br />
evade the irritating speed humps<br />
on some of the local roads to my<br />
dentist... The raised height is<br />
helpful and it’s an attractive car<br />
from the outside helped by the<br />
chrome edged windows although<br />
this doesn’t quite match up on the<br />
passenger side. There’s a large<br />
panoramic glass sunroof; the roof<br />
slides open above the front seats<br />
and this roof is similar to the one in<br />
the £201,000 Bentley Flying Spur.<br />
The 7-speed DSG automatic can<br />
be driven like a manual thanks<br />
to paddleshifts either side of the<br />
steering wheel. But for me this<br />
isn’t comparable to a traditional<br />
manual; it’s lazy driving that takes<br />
away the fun of making those gear<br />
changes.<br />
This 1.5-litre VW returns 42mpg<br />
over the course of the test. The<br />
Tiguan’s numberplate ends in<br />
BFF. Best Friend Forever my<br />
daughters reliably inform me. No,<br />
unfortunately it is not for me.<br />
When all is said and done I<br />
struggle with being told that we<br />
must behave in a certain way<br />
and then discover that few are<br />
Watch the video review at www.testdrives.biz<br />
actually doing so. This goes for<br />
both Covid and the environment.<br />
There are petrol engines that<br />
are really efficient and surely<br />
these are the ones that should<br />
be being used in cars now. If<br />
it is not possible to have both<br />
performance and efficiency then<br />
surely manufacturers must make<br />
the right choice.<br />
“I like this car,” pipes up Harriett<br />
(10). “It’s comfortable. I like the<br />
fact that there are five seats and it<br />
looks nice.” That’s me told.<br />

Specialist in Wildlife Gardens and Bespoke Ponds<br />
My name is Jack Kaczynski and I started J.K Conservation<br />
Projects in 2015 with the outlook of improving gardens and<br />
green spaces after I fi nished my degree in Environmental<br />
Conservation. I recently started another business with the<br />
website: gardensofwildlife.co.uk to focus more on wildlife<br />
gardens and wildlife ponds. I offer many services with my<br />
businesses from design to completion of wildlife gardens,<br />
bespoke ponds, pond maintenance, waterfalls and streams,<br />
sensory gardens, nature trails, rockeries and planting schemes<br />
to encourage more wildlife and to increase biodiversity.<br />
Nature is at the centre of what I do and I believe it is more<br />
important now than ever to create habitats and to improve<br />
green spaces. I am determined to help people create the<br />
garden of their dreams and a thriving place for nature.<br />

Mapperley Tea<br />
by Bob Massey<br />
Before we had television and radio, people<br />
organised their own entertainment. From<br />
playing the piano at home or in the pub to<br />
attending shows in the village hall.<br />
Most people were expected to contribute<br />
to the entertainment with their friends and<br />
neighbours, so had a party piece that they<br />
could call upon when required.<br />
This applied to all family members, with<br />
children also taking part. The range of skills<br />
on show was far ranging, with everything<br />
from the usual singers, dancers and piano<br />
players to ventriloquists, jugglers, acrobats,<br />
strong men (and women ) to performers of<br />
monologues, comedians, storytellers and even<br />
Shakespearean scenes.<br />
From this pool of talent, amateur drama<br />
groups, like the one at the Methodist church,<br />
were formed, along with choirs at St Jude’s and<br />
shows at the Pavilion on Porchester Road, the<br />
Institute and Gilbert’s Tea Rooms on Mapperley<br />
top. The pubs also joined in. The Belle Vue<br />
was well known for its grand piano in the bar<br />
overlooking the countryside. And of course, the<br />
Punch Bowl on Porchester Road was originally<br />
a club with entertainment. One of the more<br />
unusual events was the live pigeon shoot<br />
organised by The Duke of Cambridge in their<br />
stable yard.<br />
These events, along with many others, not<br />
only provided the people of Mapperley with<br />
entertainment but were also the breeding<br />
ground for some local entertainers who<br />
eventually entered the profession. Douglas<br />
Byng, singer and entertainer, Lester Mathews,<br />
the film actor, Cyril Stapleton, band leader, to<br />
name a few. The shows also raised money for<br />
the many organisations and charities in the<br />
area.<br />
The building of the Majestic cinema provided<br />
another form of entertainment, and was also<br />
a venue for live performances. There were<br />
always live acts between the films, while the<br />
reels were being changed and the local artists<br />
were always in demand.<br />
The cinema also put on special shows for<br />
the patients of the Mapperley Hospital. The<br />
hospital itself had its own theatre that was<br />
used by the patients as well as by visiting<br />
groups and shows. I visited this theatre with a<br />
touring review company who performed on the<br />
stage in the 1960s.<br />
Shows were also put on in the town as part of<br />
a party. One these shows, in <strong>May</strong> 1932, hosted<br />
by the Mapperley Women’s Conservative<br />
Association was a party for their annual old<br />
folks tea. The star of this show turned out to<br />
be the youngest of the performers, 5yr old<br />
Margaret (baby) Hardstaff. To quote the report<br />
in the Nottingham Journal of 24th <strong>May</strong>, she<br />
performed with the confidence of a veteran,<br />
singing two songs, one of which had been<br />
written for her by her mother. Margaret was<br />
also described as a budding Nellie Wallace.<br />
Wallace was one of the well know comedians<br />
of the day. Other performers that day were<br />
Ada Dawson, Florrie Curran, Mr R Barker, who<br />
played the saxophone and Mr L Sims at the<br />
piano accompanying them all.<br />
There may have been no TV but this did not<br />
mean the people of Mapperley went without<br />
entertainment.<br />
I am researching the history of Mapperley and would be very pleased to hear from anyone with<br />
more details or information. Email: bob.m.massey@gmail.com or post via NG magazines.

Bearded Irises:<br />
The Ultimate Show-stoppers<br />
Every <strong>May</strong> and <strong>June</strong> I am<br />
bewitched by the sheer<br />
flamboyance and beauty<br />
of the bearded irises in the<br />
borders of gardens I visit.<br />
The large, showy blooms<br />
come in many colours and<br />
it’s a shame that we don’t<br />
have “smelly-vision” as<br />
most are sweetly scented.<br />
They are called “bearded”<br />
because of the line of hairs on<br />
the lower petals. These beards<br />
are often in a contrasting<br />
colour to the petal and act like<br />
runway lights to guide bees to<br />
the nectar and pollen.<br />
With bearded irises it is<br />
important to give them the<br />
right conditions if you want<br />
them to thrive and flower.<br />
They grow from a knobbly<br />
rhizome – a sort of modified<br />
root. These need to be planted<br />
so that they are not completely<br />
buried – maybe halfway up<br />
their thickness. They like a<br />
sunny spot: this year’s sun<br />
makes next year’s flowers. The<br />
ground must be free draining:<br />
add grit below the rhizomes<br />
if your soil is moist and forget<br />
about growing them if it’s<br />
boggy – there are plenty of<br />
other types of iris you can<br />
grow!<br />
You can plant pot-grown<br />
bearded iris at any time but<br />
often nurseries supply them<br />
bare rooted as they are difficult<br />
to keep nice in a pot. There are<br />
many hundreds of varieties in a<br />
range of heights and colours to<br />
choose from.<br />
The flowering season starts in<br />
late April with the very dwarf<br />
varieties. These are less than<br />
16in or 40cm tall and best<br />
suited for a rockery. Next come<br />
the intermediates (16in – 28”<br />
/ 40-70cm) that flower from<br />
early <strong>May</strong>. Then later in <strong>May</strong> the<br />
tall, bearded types (28-48” /<br />
70-120cm) and these have the<br />
showiest flowers.<br />
After flowering you can cut the<br />
flower stems off as close to<br />
the rhizome as possible using a<br />
sharp, sterile knife since leaving<br />
them on can cause rotting of<br />
the plants.<br />
Bearded irises are tough,<br />
drought tolerant plants very<br />
well suited to modern as well<br />
as traditional gardens looking<br />
equally as good as drifts or as<br />
single, statement plants and<br />
with so many heights and<br />
colours to choose from there’s<br />
no reason why every sunny<br />
garden shouldn’t have some.<br />

The<br />
Snowy<br />
Tale<br />
Finally, after a two year wait, our trip to the Arctic<br />
Circle to see the Northern Lights had arrived.<br />
everything back in the case. Painful to watch. But<br />
less so with a mug of gin.<br />
After blowing the budget in Aldi on thermals,<br />
goggles (not used), waterproof gloves (not used)<br />
and balaclavas (not used), we were ready!<br />
Arriving at the airport, clocking the amount of<br />
luggage everyone was hauling through check-in, we<br />
started to panic that we had woefully under packed<br />
with our tiny little cases.<br />
Being organised, I had made a list, stuck to it,<br />
packed in 10 mins and was good to go. Gary, on<br />
the other hand, had been packing and unpacking<br />
his case for days, fretting over how many pairs of<br />
socks, base layers, undercrackers etc. to take. To<br />
vest or not to vest?? This is the dilemma I have to<br />
listen to pretty much every day, home or away.<br />
We were all-inclusive (apart from drinks, which<br />
turned out to be a slight problem as the hotel wine<br />
was expensive and the nearest licensed shop was a<br />
4 hour drive away). Thank goodness for the litre of<br />
gin we bought at Duty Free!<br />
Thankfully, Gary’s prediction of us having to choose<br />
from whale blubber baked or fried everyday turned<br />
out to be wrong. To be honest, it was like a full-time<br />
job keeping up with all the eating. It’s the only place<br />
I have ever been where eating dinner in your long<br />
johns is acceptable.<br />
After the packing/unpacking pantomime before<br />
we arrived, we were back on that tip everyday, with<br />
Gary umming and ahhing on how many layers to<br />
wear, how many pairs of socks to put on, whether to<br />
double vest, bla bla bla. Everything out of the case,<br />
Day one was a reindeer safari.<br />
Gary to me; “Take a picture of me and Roy.”<br />
Me; “Who’s Roy?”<br />
Gary; “The reindeer.”<br />
Me; “How do you know he’s called Roy?”<br />
Gary; “You just called him Roy, didn’t you? I<br />
assumed they had names like the donkeys at the<br />
seaside.”<br />
Me; “Errr no Gary, I said he’s a lovely boy.”<br />
Actually, his name was Urko, but that’s beside the<br />
point. He was Roy the Reindeer for the rest of the<br />
trip. And a hearing test at Specsavers has been<br />
booked.<br />
The snow shoe trek was next. Basically, you have<br />
two small skateboards strapped to your feet and<br />
the theory is that you stay upright and walk through<br />
the snow with ease. Of course, Gary’s shoes were<br />
broken, but Rory, our leader, said they would be fine.<br />
Easy for you to say Rory, you didn’t have to haul him<br />
out of a 7ft snow drift twice when the shoes came<br />
off!<br />
Our favourite trip was the snowmobile ride over a<br />
frozen lake. It was 11.30pm and -20 but we loved<br />
it. Until we got stuck and it took three people to get<br />
us back on track by which time my feet had literally<br />
lost all feeling, my hair had turned white (frost) and<br />
Gary could no longer see as the condensation on<br />
his glasses had frozen. <strong>May</strong>be we should have used<br />
the goggles after all…<br />
Oh and yes, we did see the Northern Lights and they<br />
were awesome!<br />

your guide to choosing a stairlift<br />
by Sarah Mawer - Priority Stairlifts<br />
Sarah, Customer Care Manager<br />
We know the<br />
decision to have a<br />
stairlift installed<br />
is often a very<br />
difficult one to<br />
make, but when<br />
compared with<br />
the alternative of<br />
moving, or only<br />
living on one level<br />
of their home,<br />
many people have<br />
found a stairlift to<br />
be their preferred<br />
solution.<br />
The idea of deciding which stairlift is right for you,<br />
and having it fitted, can be a very daunting one so, to<br />
guide you through the process, these simple steps<br />
should be helpful.<br />
• Firstly, approach your local authority – you may be<br />
eligible for a grant to help towards the cost.<br />
• Obtain two or three different quotes and think<br />
about choosing a local supplier who would be able<br />
to get to you quickly in the event of a breakdown.<br />
It’s also very important to check reviews on Google<br />
and other reputable sites.<br />
• Arrange a survey – most companies can give you<br />
a price over the phone and you should NEVER feel<br />
pressured into making a decision.<br />
• All stairlifts are fitted to the stairs rather than the<br />
wall of the staircase, so you needn’t worry about<br />
having to sort out any decorating work. They are all<br />
powered from the mains and come with a battery<br />
backup in case of a power failure.<br />
• Do you want a new, reconditioned or rental<br />
stairlift? Most companies offer a range of options<br />
to suit your budget and needs.<br />
• Do you need a straight or curved one? If your<br />
stairs go straight up with no bends, you need a<br />
straight stairlift. If your staircase has a bend, you<br />
will need a curved one.<br />
• Check out the aftercare and warranty – ask if your<br />
supplier has a 24hr call out and what the response<br />
time would be.<br />
• A written quotation will be provided for the cost<br />
of the stairlift, including installation. You may be<br />
exempt from paying VAT, so check if you’re eligible.<br />
• Once you have decided on your preferred supplier,<br />
the installation process is very simple. Most<br />
stairlifts can be installed within 5 working days<br />
(some even next day) and the installation takes<br />
between 1-4hrs depending on the type. You will be<br />
given a thorough demonstration once it’s fitted and<br />
the engineer won’t leave until you are comfortable<br />
using it.<br />

Nottinghamshire leading the way on phone<br />
data analysis<br />
Police in Nottinghamshire are leading<br />
the way in the prompt analysis of<br />
mobile phone data belonging to victims<br />
and suspects.<br />
The Digital Forensics Unit was recently<br />
visited by Home Secretary Priti Patel who<br />
was briefed on their work.<br />
A recent investigation by Channel 4 News<br />
revealed a backlog of more than 20,000<br />
digital devices waiting to be examined by<br />
forces across England and Wales.<br />
Nottinghamshire Police, however, has<br />
just 31 phones, tablets and computers<br />
waiting to be examined which have all<br />
been triaged.<br />
This strong performance, the force says,<br />
is down to significant recent investment<br />
in specialist digital media and forensics<br />
officers, interns, graduate investigators,<br />
strict adherence to national proportionality<br />
guidelines, and the upskilling of other<br />
officers to examine devices linked to less<br />
serious offences.<br />
Detective Chief Inspector Les Charlton is<br />
responsible for Nottinghamshire Police’s<br />
digital media investigation teams.<br />
He said: “As technology has evolved<br />
so have the demands placed on police<br />
officers. Digital evidence now plays a<br />
significant role in the majority of police<br />
investigations and can be gathered from<br />
devices ranging from mobile phones to<br />
smart wearables. That creates a very<br />
significant demand that has to be managed<br />
effectively.<br />
“When somebody has been the victim of a<br />
crime – particularly a sexual offence – we<br />
absolutely understand that the investigative<br />
process can be extremely difficult and<br />
upsetting for them.<br />
“As police officers we have a job to do,<br />
but we want to do that job with as little<br />
additional upset to a victim as possible. We<br />
offer a bespoke same day and appointment<br />
service for phones to help victims.<br />
“We understand that mobile devices are<br />
actually a very big part of people’s lives.<br />
They are quite literally their link to the<br />
outside world – their friends and family<br />
– so we understand the importance of<br />
returning those devices to them as quickly<br />
as we can.”<br />
Thanks to the ongoing uplift in officer<br />
numbers, the force has been able to boost<br />
its digital forensic capability by more than<br />
50 per cent over the last two years. It has<br />
also implemented force-wide protocols to<br />
prevent a backlog of devices and it always<br />
prioritises victims of sexual assault.<br />
They, along with other victims of crime,<br />
consent to very limited examinations<br />
of their devices which relate only to<br />
the events immediately surrounding an<br />
offence.<br />
The force also adheres to best practice<br />
guidelines from the College of Policing<br />
about the prompt return of data and<br />
devices. Typically the force looks to return<br />
devices within 24 hours.<br />
Chief Constable Craig Guildford said:<br />
“Digital data has an increasingly vital role to<br />
play in our day-to-day work but we should<br />
never lose sight of the immense upset and<br />
inconvenience this can cause to victims.<br />
That’s why we have taken the decision to<br />
heavily and creatively invest in this area of<br />
our work over the last couple of years and<br />
why we will continue to do so the future.”

3 Habits that will improve<br />
your health quickly<br />
Something I’ve been working on with our team<br />
since the start of the new year is how creating<br />
small habits can have a great outcome.<br />
I’m going to give you a quick rundown on how<br />
you can turn the tables, get back on track and<br />
see quick, positive results.<br />
SLEEP<br />
Yes, sleep…. it drastically affects so much more<br />
than just how tired you feel.<br />
We require 7-8 hours a night to optimally recover<br />
our bodies.<br />
Yet most of us get less than 6, due to social<br />
media, watching telly late into the evening or just<br />
having a poor bedtime routine.<br />
If you get 7-8 hours of actual, good quality sleep<br />
it’s not just your tiredness that you’ll see improve.<br />
You will be less stressed, your mood will be<br />
better and your brain will be sharper. There is also<br />
evidence that it can improve your overall health.<br />
NUTRITION<br />
The quality of what we put into our bodies is so<br />
important. It is so much more than simply eating<br />
what we fancy (although there is also a place<br />
for this!)<br />
As with sleep, you can change how well your<br />
body responds to food in a short time. The<br />
benefits of eating more mindfully can have many<br />
positive effects apart from just weight loss.<br />
Energy improves, skin improves, mood improves<br />
along with all kinds of good things that go off<br />
inside the body.<br />
If you were to change just 2 things for a<br />
MAXIMUM positive outcome that will change<br />
things within 7 days…. SLEEP and NUTRITION Serves are 2<br />
super fast at responding.<br />
HYDRATION<br />
Notice I didn’t mention exercise? That’s because ½ lemon, juiced<br />
salt & pepper<br />
exercise is a long game played daily. HYDRATION,<br />
chopped<br />
like sleep and nutrition can again, quickly<br />
improve how your body functions and how fast 19<br />
you produce results.<br />
Good hydration starts with around 2 litres of<br />
water (yes, just water) daily. Combine this with<br />
Serves 2<br />
the other habits and you’re well on your way to<br />
improving your all-round health in less than 7 days.<br />
Take these up long term and the benefits could<br />
be life changing.<br />
Add in a little movement and… you’ve got an<br />
entirely different life.<br />
Good health doesn’t need to be complicated.<br />
By creating these three simple (4 if you want to<br />
move more) habits, you will change so much<br />
more than how you look in a mirror.<br />
Simple checklist:<br />
Sleep = 7-8 hours daily<br />
Nutrition = eat the rainbow<br />
Hydration = start at 2 litres of water daily<br />
(movement) = keep it simple. 8-10k steps a day is<br />
more than enough to start to see change.<br />

YOUNG PEOPLE’S CARE SERVICE<br />
URGENTLY NEEDS CREATIVE<br />
PEOPLE TO JOIN THEIR TEAM<br />
by FTM Dance<br />
free swimming sessions<br />
announced for gedling<br />
residents<br />
by Gedling Borough Council<br />
Children and young people with additional needs in<br />
Nottinghamshire risk losing out on vital services<br />
if more paid carers are not recruited to help with<br />
their essential care.<br />
FTM Dance is a provider of respite care through<br />
performing arts classes, offering support for families<br />
of children and young adults with additional needs<br />
and diverse abilities across Nottinghamshire. Its<br />
unique proactive care model not only gives families<br />
much needed respite time but their fun dance and<br />
drama sessions promote physical and social skills<br />
and enable creative expression, enhancing wellbeing<br />
and promoting independence for the participants.<br />
It currently supports over 100 children across the<br />
county and employs carers for its creative classes<br />
but needs more to support increasing local need.<br />
Leanne Evans, FTM Dance Founder and Director, said:<br />
“We hear about the crisis in care sector recruitment daily<br />
in the news and it’s a critical problem. It’s not just care<br />
homes for the elderly that are lacking vital support. Day<br />
services, respite care and many more care environments<br />
also urgently need additional paid people.”<br />
“The bottom line is we need more staff urgently to<br />
be able to continue our crucial services and say yes<br />
to more local families, their children and the young<br />
people who need our support.”<br />
For more information and to apply for roles, please<br />
visit: https://ftmdance.co.uk/jobs/<br />
A new swimming scheme has been launched by<br />
Gedling Borough Council to help people in the<br />
borough to be more active and enjoy swimming.<br />
The Swimming Passport scheme is open to Gedling<br />
residents aged under 16 and over 65. These age<br />
groups are able to swim at dedicated weekly sessions<br />
for free at Arnold, Calverton and Carlton Forum<br />
leisure centres.<br />
The Swimming Passport scheme was developed as<br />
part of the Gedling Borough Council’s priorities to<br />
improve the health and well-being of residents, as<br />
well as reduce health inequalities across the borough.<br />
Swimming has many physical and mental health<br />
benefits as well as being a vitally important life skill.<br />
Gedling Leisure centres have a 25 metre pool at both<br />
Arnold and Carlton Forum leisure centres, and an 18<br />
metre pool at Calverton leisure centre for swimmers<br />
to enjoy.<br />
One of the residents who will benefit from the new<br />
scheme is 91 year old swimmer, Arthur Beal (pictured<br />
above) who regularly attends Arnold Leisure Centre.<br />
Arthur will be saving around £120 per year if he<br />
attends the sessions created for the new scheme.<br />
Eligible residents will need a valid Gedling Leisure<br />
card to take part. Places on these sessions are<br />
limited so booking in advance is recommended and<br />
can be done online at gedling.gov.uk/swimmingpassports<br />
or by contacting the Arnold, Calverton or<br />
Carlton Forum leisure centres directly.<br />

INTRODUCING DR ANDREA<br />
BREARLEY AT WESTDALE DENTAL<br />
PRACTICE, MAPPERLEY.<br />
Andrea Brearley isn’t new to<br />
Mapperley, she’s worked here<br />
for many years. After qualifying<br />
as a dentists 25years ago,<br />
Andrea has been practising<br />
dentistry in Mapperley for over<br />
16 years. She has gained a<br />
reputation amongst her peers<br />
and patients for the care and<br />
attention she provides, the<br />
quality of her work and the<br />
obvious love of her job.<br />
Less well known however, is the<br />
fact that she has been providing<br />
facial aesthetic treatments<br />
successfully but discreetly in<br />
Nottingham for the last 15<br />
years. This is an extremely long<br />
time in this speciality and places<br />
her at its inception into the UK.<br />
Her first qualification (there<br />
have been many since) was with<br />
a prominent plastic surgeon in<br />
Harley Street. Back then, there<br />
were very few conferences<br />
and exhibitions held in medical<br />
aesthetics. So much so, that the<br />
pioneers of botulinum toxin,<br />
Jean and Alastair Carruthers<br />
would fly from Vancouver to<br />
the UK to hold masterclasses<br />
which Andrea feels privileged to<br />
have attended.<br />
Dr Andrea continued to<br />
advance her knowledge as the<br />
industry developed. In 2012, she<br />
submitted work to the Faculty<br />
of General Dental Practice<br />
for their Masterclass in Facial<br />
Aesthetics and was awarded a<br />
distinction. Her latest course<br />
was in London in December,<br />
and her enthusiasm shows no<br />
sign of abating.<br />
Her love of aesthetics in<br />
dentistry, and thorough<br />
knowledge of head and neck<br />
anatomy makes this a perfect<br />
speciality for Dr Andrea, but it<br />
has been watching the impact<br />
of treatments on client’s<br />
confidence and well being, that<br />
has led to a love affair that has<br />
never ended.<br />
“I recall the first treatment that<br />
I saw vividly.” says Dr Andrea.<br />
“The results were subtle yet so<br />
dramatic, and the patient so<br />
overjoyed, that I was incredibly<br />
moved and excited. My mission<br />
has always been to remember<br />
that experience and bring it to<br />
my clients.”<br />
Dr Andreas passion is to deliver<br />
natural results and to be<br />
discreet.<br />
“I understand that people<br />
maybe nervous. Many are<br />
worried that they might<br />
have treatments that will be<br />
noticeable, that it might not<br />
be for them, or that it might<br />
go wrong. Others feel anxious<br />
about considering treatments<br />
that “shouldn’t matter”.<br />
It might be that you are just<br />
starting to think about whether<br />
aesthetics is for you, or have<br />
been considering it for some<br />
time. Andrea sees clients at<br />
Westdale Dental Practice and<br />
at Ankohi, on Gordon Road<br />
in West Bridgford. Her clients<br />
range from the age of 18 to<br />
over 80. An hour is set aside<br />
for each client, and there is<br />
no pressure and no hard sell.<br />
“There is a lot to talk about at<br />
your consultation, and there are<br />
no silly questions.” she says.<br />
Appointments can be booked<br />
through Westdale Dental<br />
Practice (0115 960 3572 or<br />
on info@westdaledental.<br />
com) or the Anokhi website.<br />
They can also be booked<br />
through Dr Andrea’s Instagram<br />
page. Dr Andrea’s website<br />
is ab-facialeasthetics.co.uk<br />
and her social media account<br />
is dr_andreabrearley. Both<br />
platforms showcase her work.<br />
She also offers virtual evening<br />
consultations and can be<br />
contacted by email or DM.
Nottinghamshire stage of tour of britain announced<br />
by Nottinghamshire County Council<br />
The eagerly anticipated Nottinghamshire stage<br />
of this year’s Tour of Britain cycle race will<br />
once again start in West Bridgford and finish in<br />
Mansfield.<br />
It’s the third time the showpiece event will take place<br />
in the county and follows the hugely successful<br />
staging of the race in 2017 and 2018.<br />
This year’s race returns to Nottinghamshire on<br />
Thursday 8 September and will see the fifth stage<br />
begin on Central Avenue in West Bridgford and end<br />
on Chesterfield Road South in Mansfield.<br />
It will pass through several towns and villages in the<br />
county, including East Leake, Radcliffe-on-Trent,<br />
Calverton, Southwell, Retford and Worksop – as well<br />
as take competitors along the recently-opened £49<br />
million Colliery Way road (Gedling Access Road).<br />
The 190km route – approximately 118 miles – will<br />
also take in key county landmarks and attractions<br />
such as world-famous cricket ground Trent Bridge,<br />
the legendary Sherwood Forest and popular tourist<br />
attraction Clumber Park.<br />
A global television audience of millions will watch the<br />
world-famous race, with the Nottinghamshire stage<br />
attracting 250,000 spectators in 2018 to make it the<br />
largest sporting event in the county’s history.<br />
It led to our area enjoying an economic boost,<br />
with £3.9 million being spent by participants and<br />
spectators on accommodation, food and drink and<br />
shopping.<br />
The Nottinghamshire stage four years ago also<br />
started in West Bridgford and finished in Mansfield.<br />
Councillor John Cottee, Chairman of<br />

Committee, said he was looking forward to seeing<br />
thousands of people lining the route to cheer on the<br />

news and today’s announcement detailing the route<br />
heightens the sense of anticipation as we prepare to<br />
welcome a world class field of riders and teams to our<br />
wonderful county.”<br />
“As a council, we’re delighted that we’ve been able to<br />
bring the Tour of Britain back to Nottinghamshire and<br />
I’m looking forward to working with our district and<br />
borough council partners to ensure it’s going to be the<br />
best stage of the race.”<br />

September and finishes on the Isle of Wight seven<br />

nottingham Boys Choir - it’s<br />
brilliant!<br />
by Nottingham Boys Choir<br />
call for entries: the harley<br />
open exhibition <strong>2022</strong><br />
by The Harley Gallery<br />
Choir member Magnus, sings NBC’s praises;<br />
“Nottingham Boys Choir is a fantastic place to learn<br />
to sing, to make friends and to have fun.<br />
I am 18 and later this year will be leaving NBC<br />
to take up a place at a university in London. No<br />
longer associating Wednesday evenings with choir<br />
rehearsals will be so strange; NBC has been a part<br />
of my life since I was 6 years old, and I will miss so<br />
many things about it.<br />
The annual pantomime trips (tickets funded by a<br />
generous benefactor), football kick-abouts in the<br />
local park, outings to trampoline centres and laser<br />
tag, have all been great fun and I have loved being<br />
part of a ‘club’ with other boys. But the singing is the<br />
thing I will miss the most.<br />
At NBC we sing everything from pop songs to 8-part<br />
15th century madrigals, exploring folk, classical, and<br />
other genres along the way. Our musical director,<br />
Matthew Burton, is so enthusiastic and he is an<br />
amazing singer too; his vocal range is phenomenal –<br />
he can demonstrate the treble parts, and power out<br />
the bass notes comfortably too!<br />
It’s going to be a sad day for me when I perform in<br />
my final concert with NBC, but I know the Choir will<br />
continue to thrive, and I look forward to attending<br />
NBC concerts in the future. New members are<br />
always welcome, and I promise you, it’s brilliant!”<br />

chair): nottinghamboyschoir@gmail.com<br />
