Local Solicitor wants to help others after losing

16 stone with Slimming World

Amanda Hetherington has just been named

runner up for the National 2024 Greatest Loser

with Slimming World. She has transformed her

life by losing 16 stone – half of her body weight

and now wants to use her success to help and

motivate others in their weight loss journey.

Amanda joined her local Slimming World class

in February 2021 during lock down after giving

birth to her daughter in December 2020. She

came to the realisation that if she wanted to see

her daughter grow up then she seriously needed

to do something about her unhealthy lifestyle.

She was miserable, self-conscious and at risk

of developing serious health problems. Amanda

said that she often went from one diet plan to

another without any long-term success.

“I felt so uncomfortable and didn’t want to go out in public as I was so ashamed of my weight and of the person I had

become. I would panic about whether I would fit in the chairs of places I was going to, and I would not go abroad on

holiday as I knew the aeroplane seat belt would not fit around me.”.

One of the most inspiring aspects of Amanda’s journey is her willingness to seek help and support. Recognising that

she couldn’t do it alone, she plucked up the courage to join her local Slimming World group. Here she was surrounded

with a network of friends and a fab consultant who offered guidance, encouragement, and accountability every step of

the way.

Amanda found that Slimming World was the best formula for her success. She learnt that she could fill up on

filling foods such as pasta, rice and lean meat and fish. She could cook fresh and filling meals including Spaghetti

Bolognese, steak with homemade chips and curries. She never felt that she was missing out, deprived or felt hungry.

Amanda’s struggle with obesity wasn’t just about shedding pounds; it was about reclaiming her health, her confidence,

and her joy for life. As the pounds melted away, so too did the self-doubt, the shame, and the fear that had held her

back for so long. In their place, Amanda discovered a newfound sense of strength, resilience, and self-love. She has

been at her target weight since September 2023. “I feel energised, confident and now have a zest for life which I had

never had. Losing weight has given me the confidence to complete the couch to 5k programme which I loved. I never

thought that I would ever be able to walk 5k never mind run it. I now run around with my daughter and can take her to

the park and do other family activities without fear or dread.”

Amanda has been inspired to help others achieve their weight loss dreams and does not want anyone to feel the

way she once did. She has launched her own Slimming World group at Frodsham Youth Club in Fluin Lane every

Thursday at 5:30pm and 7pm. So to anyone facing their own uphill battle, take heart in Amanda’s story. Know that you

are not alone, and that every step forward, no matter how small, brings you closer to the life you’ve always dreamed

of. As Amanda’s journey so beautifully illustrates, the only limits that exist are the

ones we place upon ourselves. She will be there to help and support you every step

of the way. Please feel free to call or message Amanda for more information on

07368 288 431 or come along to her class.

30 million ticket applications, 24 nations, 51

matches, 10 host cities – it can only mean one

thing: UEFA’s Euro 2024, which kicks off at the

Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany on 14 June.

For a month from 14 June to 14 July, football

fans around the globe will be cheering on

their home nation as 24 teams compete to be

crowned Euro 2024 champions.

The 2020 competition (postponed to 2021 due to

the Covid-19 pandemic) saw a great performance

at the finals for England, with a runner-up finish

when they lost on penalties to Italy.

Both Scotland and England will be at the

tournament, with hosts Germany having booked

their place too.

There will be 24 countries competing at Euro

2024, where Germany will be looking for their

fourth tournament win. Sixteen games will take

place before the quarter-finals, with the top two

teams from the six groups going through, to

be joined by the four best third-placed teams

to form the last 16. The knockout rounds then

progress until the final, and there will not be a

third-place play-off.

Ticket Frenzy

During the first ticketing sales phase

in October 2023, more than 20

million tickets were requested by fans

worldwide for the 1.2 million tickets

made available to the general public.

After the final UEFA Euro 2024

tournament draw took place on 2

December, in total over 30 million

ticket applications were received from

206 countries between 2 and 12

December.

DID YOU KNOW?

• The UEFA European Championship

(commonly known as Euro and not to be

confused with the European Cup) was

first held in 1960. However, it was back in

1927 that the French Football Federation’s

administrator, Henri Delaunay, first proposed

a pan-European football tournament.

• The tournament in 1960 included only four

teams – Czechoslovakia, France, the Soviet

Union and Yugoslavia – but it expanded to

eight teams in 1980 and 16 teams in 1996.

Today 24 nations participate.

• This year’s tournament marks the

17 th edition of the UEFA European

Championship, and it is also set to be one of

the biggest sporting events of the year. The

total revenue of EURO 2020, the previous

tournament, was nearly 19 billion euros.

• Germany and Spain have been the most

frequent winners of the championship –

three times each – while Cristiano Ronaldo

is the all-time top scorer in the UEFA Euros,

netting 14 goals.

• The competition has been held every four

years since 1960, except for 2020, when it was

postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

LUCK OF THE DRAW

Results of the play-off draw, held in 2023:

Group A: Germany, Scotland, Hungary, Switzerland

Group B: Spain, Croatia, Italy, Albania

Group C: Slovenia, Denmark, Serbia, England

Group D: Poland, Netherlands, Austria, France

Group E: Belgium, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine

Group F: Turkey, Georgia, Portugal, Czechia

SOLAR

You don’t need to be a meteorologist to know

that the UK isn’t blessed with the most desirable

of climates. Our weather is unreliable and

generally has average levels of heat, cold, sun,

cloud, rain and snow. There’s not enough of

any to be worthy of note, except on the odd few

days when it veers to an extreme – which is so

unusual that it makes headline news.

Still, every cloud has a silver lining…literally!

This temperate climate means that during most

summers, we can have gorgeous gardens. This

starts with your lawn, as it is likely that more of

your garden will be given over to lawn than any

other single feature. However, if yours looks

more grazing meadow than bowling green, a

beautiful space will elude you until it’s sorted.

But where do you start, and what do you need?

Analysis

Is your soil chalk, clay or sand? Do you have a

problem with any particular types of weeds and

pests? Are there any bare patches, and what’s

causing them (e.g. pets)? Is the grass type

suitable for your needs? Beautiful fine grass won’t

stand up to the kids playing football, for example.

Equipment

If your lawnmower hasn’t had any maintenance

in years, the blades are blunt, and the blade

height is difficult to adjust, you need to choose

between a service or a new model. But lawns

also need scarification (removing moss and other

debris) and aeration (small holes in the ground

to allow air, water and nutrients to circulate) and

both of these require specific tools.

Products

Plenty of water, of course, but no garden

reaches its full potential without products to

feed the growth and kill the weeds. These are

relatively inexpensive and can be purchased at

most DIY stores and garden centres, but if you

don’t know what you are doing, you can make

things worse. Many a lawn has been scorched

by an overly enthusiastic application of fertiliser.

Time

Oh yes, that elusive element, lack of which is the

enemy of garden improvement plans. If you can’t

be consistent with your maintenance, it’s hardly

worth starting. It’s all very well being enthusiastic

in March and April, but if you’ve lost interest by

July, both time and money will be wasted.

The professionals

Feeling motivated? Or overwhelmed and

resigned to a beige thatch instead of a lush

green carpet? It is possible with research,

dedication and money to achieve great results

by taking the DIY route. But it’s a job many

of us just don’t enjoy doing, and calling in a

professional lawn company could be the answer.

Most people still like to mow their own lawns

(although many even outsource that these days),

but buying and storing expensive equipment and

carrying out lawn work is a job better left to those

who do it all the time.

From hard flooring to plush carpets, we’ve got it covered!

Helsby to Hand when responding to adverts

OFFICIALLY

If you’re thinking about brightening up your home

with new windows or extending and increasing the

value of your property by adding a conservatory,

our new guide ‘The Seven Costly and Potentially

Disastrous Mistakes People Make When Buying

Conservatories and Windows’ will help you

ensure you get exactly what you pay for.

IS THIS WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND?

After installing 104,400 double glazed units

and 4,093 conservatories David says he knows

what’s on your mind when you’re considering

buying windows and conservatories.

You don’t want to be pressured into buying

1 – so we don’t employ those high pressure

salespeople that double glazing companies have

become infamous for. Instead, our designers will

work with you, at your own pace and help you

to maximise your budget and have complete

peace of mind.

2You worry about the safety of your money

– so we don’t ask for big up front payments.

As a long established, financially stable company,

we’re not desperate to get our hands on your

money.

3You’re concerned about the mess that might

be caused – so we employ a ‘tidy up system’

and we clean as we go, window by window, day

by day.

4You don’t want to be let down by missed

start or completion dates – so we employ

one of the industries top installation managers

to manage our ten highly experienced fitting

teams, some of whom have now been with us

for over thirteen years.

And of course you want a fair price – our

quotations speak for themselves… see for

4 Meadowside, Frodsham, WA6 7BY

by Caroline Knight

Hello bug, who are you?

How do you decide whether an insect you find

on or around your plants is a pest or a welcome

guest? Please don’t assume they are out to

sabotage your plot; we need to encourage all

sorts of wildlife into the garden, as biodiversity is

key to a balance of life.

A very simple test for insects that don’t fly could

help you decide if they might be friend or foe: if it

moves quickly, it is more likely to be a beneficial

predator, while if it is slow-moving, it could be a

plant-eating nuisance.

Common pests

Try to remove vine weevils, lily beetles and box

tree moths before they have a chance to lay

eggs. Numbers of these pests have proliferated

over the past decade. Box caterpillars are

destroying many of our native box plants (Buxus

sempervirens), which are popular for garden and

landscape use as well as occurring in the wild.

Use biological controls, where available, and

pick off adult beetles or caterpillars by hand.

Aphids are not a huge problem, even though they

might affect plant growth. Ladybirds, lacewing,

hoverflies and birds make excellent aphid

eaters, and nurturing your garden ecosystem will

encourage these beneficial creatures.

Cabbage moth caterpillars are probably the most

common problem in the allotment, and netting

susceptible plants is the most efficient way to

prevent damage to brassica plants. But, once

again, a healthy ecosystem to encourage natural

predators will help with the control. Planting

marigolds as companions nearby also helps to

repel them.

Sawflies belong to a large group of insects

related to bees and wasps. Their caterpillarlike

small larvae feast on leaves of plants such

as willow, gooseberry, rose, Solomon’s seal,

geranium and even on the young fruit of apples.

They can defoliate plants relatively quickly, but

they are a nuisance rather than a serious threat.

Picking them off by hand is probably the best

way to deal with them, together with attracting

natural predators to help control numbers.

Soldier beetles can be red, brown, yellow, or black

and are distinctive because of their slim, elongated,

soft bodies. They are a gardener’s friend, feeding

on aphids, red spider mites, and caterpillars.

There are more than 35 species of tiny pollen

beetle in the UK. These beetles develop and live

in the flower buds of many different plants. They

are small, dark beetles with a metallic sheen,

and they do no harm. They eat pollen and might

also help with pollination.

Ground-dwelling beetles and beetles known as

rove beetles are friends! If you find any of these

dark beetles hiding under leaf litter or rocks

during the daytime, leave them be. They feed on

smaller insects, garden pests such as aphids, fly

eggs and various larvae.

If you see Britain’s largest beetle, the stag

beetle, consider yourself very lucky and protect

them at all costs.

Katherine outside Hampton Court Palace for

Songs of Praise: A Coronation Celebration

© BBC/Afanti Media/David Waters

She has performed all over the world, is a favourite

of the Royal Family, has sung for the Pope,

appeared alongside ballerina Darcy Bussell,

recorded and performed with the likes of Placido

Domingo, Andrea Bocelli, Jose Carreras, Dame

Kiri Te Kanawa and Il Divo, to name but a few.

Then and now

By the time Katherine Jenkins was seven, her

interest in pop music had been superseded by

classical music. She started taking piano lessons

and learned to sing as a chorister of her local

church, St David’s Church.

Today, Katherine, who celebrates her 44 th

birthday this month, is best known as the recordbreaking

multi-platinum-selling mezzo-soprano

renowned for her unique interpretations of

popular songs, operatic arias and hymns.

Awards and charity

In March 2014, Katherine was awarded an OBE

for services to music and charity work. She has

visited Afghanistan to meet troops and perform

two special concerts and she has also raised

more than £25,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support

by running the London Marathon. She is also

known for her long-standing work with the British

Forces Foundation, for which she is a trustee –

and is also known as the Forces’ Sweetheart,

a title to which the original Forces’ Sweetheart

Dame Vera Lynn gave her seal of approval.

On TV

Last November, Katherine, who co-presents

the BBC’s religious programme Songs of

Praise, hosted a Remembrance Sunday special

from RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire. She met

cadets and the head padre to discover how

remembrance plays an important part in daily life

and training at Cranwell.

Furthermore, last December, Katherine returned

home to Wales to celebrate Christmas in a special

one-off concert recorded at the Swansea Arena.

Episodes of both programmes are available to

watch now on BBC iPlayer.

Commercial success

Katherine officially became the world’s most

successful classical singer in 2019, having had

12 number-one albums in 12 years since signing

to Universal Classics at the tender age of 23.

Within months of graduating from the Royal

Academy of Music, Katherine signed the ‘biggest

recording deal in UK classical music history’ and

released her first album, Premiere. This was

her first classical number one and her first BRIT

Award for best album.

Royal favourite

She’s a favourite with the Royals too, having

performed for the Queen on many occasions,

including the Queen’s 90 th birthday at Windsor

Castle in 2016 and celebrations over the

Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend. Following

the Queen’s death last September, Katherine

was selected to record a new version of God

Save The King for BBC Radio 4.

Bringing joy to others

During lockdown, Katherine won the hearts of

many new fans by performing 25 live concerts

online from her home. Thousands of residents

and staff at care homes watched the Neathborn

singer from their communal areas, or in

their rooms if they were isolating, while family

members were also invited to watch from home.

Coming up…

Next month, on 20 July, Katherine will headline

the International Music Eisteddfod in Llangollen,

North Wales.

Croatia’s popularity as a holiday destination has

soared over the last decade. This isn’t just the

result of Game of Thrones’ extensive filming

here – although that’s certainly helped. With

4,000 miles of coastline, hundreds of islands,

historic cities and a mountainous interior,

Croatia’s appeal lies in the fact that it caters to

every type of traveller.

Most visitors tend to congregate along the

coastline, their sights set on the historic cities of

Dubrovnik, Pula and Split, and the white-sand

beaches of the Adriatic. However, heading inland

promises a wholly different type of adventure,

from soaking up sophisticated café culture in

Zagreb to hiking and biking in one of the eight

national parks.

To get you started, here are a few ideas to

inspire your next holiday to Croatia.

Discover Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is easily Croatia’s most visited city –

and for good reason. Its distinctive architecture

and medieval walls made it a prominent filming

location for Game of Thrones.

The UNESCO-listed Old Town, set within the

city walls, is where many visitors spend the

bulk of their time. Spanning almost 2km, these

magnificent walls date back to the ninth century

but have been rebuilt numerous times. Walk the

circumference to take in forts, baroque buildings,

defensive towers and sensational views of the

city below.

Dubrovnik’s Old Town is beautiful, but it does get

busy – especially during the peak season. Take

a breather by kicking back on the city’s local

beaches or hopping on a boat trip to the nearby

Elaphiti Islands.

Island hop around the Dalmatian Coast

Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast was made for island

hopping. With thousands scattered around its

shimmering shoreline, there is an island for every

occasion: beach parties, wilderness escapes,

diving and snorkelling, hiking… you name it.

Highlights include the sun-drenched islands of

Hvar, Brac and Vis; weaving through the largely

uninhabited Kornati islands; and stopping at Mljet

to explore its charming villages and national park.

Explore Croatia’s largest national park

Croatia isn’t short on national parks, but Plitvice

Lakes is arguably the most impressive. The

oldest and largest in the country, it’s a vivid

wonderland of waterfalls, lakes, waterways and

forests painted in every imaginable shade of

blue and green.

Spend a day hiking the park’s network of trails

via raised wooden walkways and lose yourself

amidst the breathtaking views. While you can’t

swim in the lakes’ crystal-clear waters, you can

hop on a boat to explore them up close.

Take a road trip around Istria

The heart-shaped peninsula of Istria in Croatia’s

northwest is a foodie’s paradise famed for its

local delicacies, including truffles, cheeses, wine

and seafood. In many ways, Istria’s rolling hills,

forests and olive groves share a likeness with

Italy’s Tuscany region – with far fewer tourists.

Pula is possibly the peninsula’s star attraction.

The city is home to the sixth-largest Roman

amphitheatre in the world, and its ancient

monuments are so plentiful they feel very much

part of the streetscape. The town of Rovinj is

another popular stop for road-trippers, thanks

to its Venetian Old Town and selection of pretty

shingle beaches.

Great gadgets to power up your outdoor eating

The latest outdoor cooking tech can deliver

restaurant-quality pizza, steakhouse-worthy steaks,

and there are even options for cooking if you don’t

have a garden.

One of the key innovations this summer is the

balcony-friendly barbecue, such as the George

Foreman Indoor Outdoor BBQ Grill and the Weber

Lumin BBQ. The George Foreman model has a

powerful 1,500W heating element and a removable

non-stick 1,500cm 2 cooking surface for easy

grilling. The Weber is more powerful still, delivering

2,200W and temperatures of up to 315°C.

It’s important to note that these can be used

indoors because they’re electric: charcoal

barbecues should never be brought indoors, even

if the coals seem to be inert, because they give off

dangerous fumes.

Another option is to supplement your existing

outdoor barbecue with a rotisserie. Expect to pay

around £120 for a mains-powered version that’ll

do the rotation for you; if you don’t already have a

barbecue you can get an automatic electric rotisserie

such as a Schallen electric grill for around £75.

If you’re already a keen barbecuer, the next step up

is to discover the joys of smoking food and cooking

“low and slow”. There are lots of outdoor smokers

around, ranging from small £50 models from

discount supermarkets to the superb but expensive

Big Green Egg, which starts around £795.

Even with traditional barbecues you can use tech to

make your barbecues more successful. The Meater

Plus and iGrill are Bluetooth temperature gauges

that you can put in your food and use to remotely

monitor the internal temperature, meaning tastier

food and reduced risk of food poisoning. Infrared

thermometers will ensure that your pizza oven is at

the perfect temperature before you cook.

Speaking of pizza ovens, the Ooni outdoor pizza

oven is one of our favourites. There are cheaper

imitations, but this one is beautifully designed and

produces great results. The wood pellet versions

produce tiny amounts of ash and huge amounts of

heat, giving amazing results in as little as 60 seconds.

Meater 2 Plus

This is a brilliant Bluetooth

thermometer. Stick it into

the food, tell the app what

you’re cooking and it’ll

ensure you cook for the

perfect time.

£119, meater.com

Ooni Fyra 12 Wood

Pellet Pizza Oven

Great pizza in just 60

seconds and only 15

minutes to warm up.

It’s easy to clean and

store, and the wood

pellet version doesn’t

leave lots of ash.

£299, ooni.com

Callow Premium Charcoal

BBQ Smoker Grill

Traditional barbecues

aren’t great for low and

slow smoking. This smoker

costs a fraction of a Big

Green Egg and is a great

introduction to more chilledout

outdoor cooking.

£120, diy.com

George Foreman Indoor

Outdoor BBQ Grill

This electric barbecue is safe to

use indoors and it’s surprisingly

capable for such a small cooker.

It’s easy to clean and store too.

NOW IS THE

TIME TO

SWITCH TO

SOLAR!

Solar PV is the most popular smart energy technology

installed in the UK. Millions of homeowners have now switched

to solar panels to power their homes with free, clean energy

generated by daylight.

The new efficient Solar panels will charge your battery, meaning your home

can then be powered from the battery instead of the grid.

With Integral Solutions Battery & Smart Energy Home Systems technology,

any excess energy will automatically be stored to your battery.

If you need more energy than you are generating, the battery will

discharge to try and meet your demand, so you are not purchasing energy

from the grid.

WARRANTY

Your Integral Solutions Solar System

will come with a full independent

insurance backed warranty.

Or dedicated local team, based in

St Helens are always on hand to help

you should any issues arise.
