Slimming World Recipe Burger in a bowl So, here’s an interesting idea. Let’s face it the best of the burger is the filling so why not shed the bread and fill up on the tasty part!

Serves: 4

Ready in: 25 minutes

Syns per serving: 1

Ingredients:

Method: 1. Spray a large, heavy-based non-stick frying pan with lowcalorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. Add the beef, onion and garlic and stir-fry for 7-8 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through and the onions have softened.

Take the pan off the heat and drain any fat from the mixture.

Season lightly.

2. Meanwhile, put all the SW super sauce ingredients in a bowl with 4 tbsp water and whisk until well combined.

3. Mix together the lettuce, gherkins, onions and tomatoes and divide between 4 wide bowls. Spoon the beef mixture on top, divide the SW super sauce between the burgers and serve hot.

For more information visit www.slimmingworld.co.uk

• Low-calorie cooking spray • 500g lean beef mince (5% fat or less) • 1 onion, finely chopped • 2 garlic cloves, crushed • ½ iceberg lettuce, roughly shredded • 8 gherkins, sliced • 1 small red onion, finely chopped • 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped

For the SW super sauce:

• 3 level tbsp extra-light mayonnaise • 5 tbsp fat-free fromage frais • 1 level tbsp American-style mustard • 2 tbsp tomato purée • 2 tsp white wine vinegar • ½ tsp garlic salt • ¼ tsp onion granules • ¼ tsp sweet smoked paprika

This walk is a little further out but is worth the journey to check out a little piece of history. The Parliament Oak, which the legend says King John held an informal parliament under following a revolt by the Welsh. Now it sits in a layby off the A6075 and is about halfway around our walk. Another great ramble from David at JH Legal – what a star he is!

We begin on the outside of Warsop and follow Oakfield Lane to cross the A6075. The route then winds through a part of the historic Sherwood forest before reaching the Parliament Oak. We cross back over the A6075 and wind back through the forest before heading back through the outskirts of Warsop, back to where we

Turn left to continue along the lane. After a short distance the lane bends around to the left and a little further on the lane narrows to a footpath. At this point ignore the path to the left and continue straight ahead going through the trees.

3. Continue straight ahead for some distance and then just prior to the path bending to the right, turn left onto another footpath. Continue along this path with just a few trees and then open views to your right and woodland on your left. After some distance ignore a major path on your left and then continue for a long distance being sure to stay close to the open views on your right.

4. Continue until you reach a clearing and then at this point continue straight ahead and pass beneath some power lines. Continue straight ahead back into the trees and eventually you will reach a T junction with a tarmac lane with a metal gate just to your right.

Turn left at the T junction and continue for a very short distance to a main road passing a signboard for ‘Parliament Oak’ on your left.

What would happen to you and your family if you became ill and unable to work?

As you go through life your financial focus changes. In our experience we see key life defining moments having a massive impact on the financial security of an individual or family. Our lives are marked with significant events, for example buying our first home, getting married, having children, perhaps getting divorced or a loved one becoming sick. All these, and many more, have an impact on our finances.

What would happen to you and your family if you became ill and unable to work?...........

According to a survey of financial advisers undertaken by Royal London, many advisers feel that younger consumers are looking at their income protection needs too late. Is this because they don’t feel a ‘need’ or is just because they’re unaware of what protection is available to give them security?

In our opinion, if you start paying income protection from a young age and get used to the monthly outgoing then it is much easier to manage and budget for. Knowing that you don’t run the risk of losing your home for example and having a regular monthly income if you are unable to work due to illness, is a reassurance we all would like so let’s start talking about it sooner rather than later. Short or long-term policies are available so make sure you’re aware of what is out there so you can manage the unexpected better.

Contact us today to discuss your protection needs.

If you enjoyed last month’s recommendation of the Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood,

you’ll love Circe by Madeline Miller. ( Kir-Keh if you’re interested in the Greek pronunciation).

Chosen as a book of the year by numerous reviewers and newspapers, the novel casts Circe, the witch goddess of Homer’s Odyssey (the one who trapped poor Odysseus on her island for yearPainting No aMore and turned sailors into pigs) as a heroine in her own right, not just a bit player in a man’s mythic No More Ladders tale.

If there is a similarity to the Atwood book, it is the idea of female empowerment, givingFascias a Soffits woman the right to her own story as part of the history of women which, it might be argued, has been so often left out of official (or even literary) accounts.

But it’s also a lovely, lyrical and sometimes very dark tale where the expectations of normal human morals are turned on their head. These are the stories of mortals, gods and monsters which are perfectly in tune and relevant for a modern audience. And the story is also a subtle sideways look at what it means to be a human, whether male or female.

It’s compelling and beautifully written. It educates and entertains and captivates. A brilliant joyous treat.

Mike’us sings M

This list of thankless jobs had me thinking about a weird thing I saw once when out walking – Someone had gone along a (particularly badly) poo lined path sticking little flags into each of the offending dollops.

It’s something I’ve never been able to forget, despite trying. I mean why?!

Some thoughts

(from a near fully fit George) The good news is that he is feeling much better and would like to thank all those who have asked after his health. Whilst convalescing he has got round to thinking about why he ever decided to take on the thankless task of becoming UCIP’s People’s Champion. He has had so many bizarre conversations with locals who have ‘buttonholed’ him in the past twelve months or so, that his enthusiasm for the role has been sorely tested.

Still, he consoles himself that he is a volunteer carrying out unpaid research for a laudable purpose and he could, although he doubts it, give it all up anytime he chooses.

When I called round to see him last week he did say that he had every sympathy for those who were in what he called ‘impossible’ jobs that they just had to put up with as they had no other means of ‘putting food on the table!’

Here are a few he came up with:-

Public Relations Advisor to the POTUS:Let’s face it, the money may be good but who in their right mind would want to be responsible for ensuring that Donald Trump doesn’t, metaphorically speaking, put his foot (or any other part of his anatomy you can think of!) into it.

Tourist Officer for the Potteries with specific responsibility for Burslem:Anyone who knows this part of the world well, and particularly if they are regular visitors to Vale Park to watch Port Vale, will know that whoever is charged with promoting the area as a holiday destination, has next to

no chance of success. It may look as if it has suffered collateral damage in a war, but in reality, it is self-inflicted.

Dog Poo Finder:Not the most pleasant of jobs I’m sure most people would agree. However, if anyone out there is desperate for an environmental role that, whilst unpaid, is likely to be well rewarded by cash donations from grateful villagers, there is a vacancy for just such a role in Newton. NB – this will undoubtedly apply to other locations in our area.

They would of course make themselves redundant if they managed to identify and ‘name and shame’ the irresponsible owners of such incontinent pets.

Manager of the Scottish Football team:For a nation that once proudly showed the world how the game should be played, Scotland is no longer producing the likes of Don Masson, Sandy Pate, John Robertson or Ted McMinn and it has become clear that whoever takes charge of the national team is now on a ‘hiding to nothing.’

It will be a long and painful process, but any future Scotland manager must get the Scottish Government to ban the sales of Macaroon Bars, Tunnock’s Caramel Wafers, deep fried Mars Bar Suppers and limit drinkers to no more than three pints of Tennent’s Lager in a session, before they will have any chance of producing successful footballers ..........................and that will never happen.

Look out for more thoughts from George, in July.

Gardener’s Calendar

There are quite a lot of opinions on moss in a garden. There are moss killers about for those who prefer perfect grass, and if you do want to get rid of it, cut back overhanging branches or foliage to allow the patch more light and aerate the ground properly so grass roots will survive better.

Stunning Garden Rooms see website for details

But there’s also the view that if moss is growing in your garden, it’s probably because the conditions are right and that it might be worth thinking about leaving it be and letting it create a lush Japanese-style carpet which you don’t have to cut. It prefers cool, shady damp ground and you can help it to expand by transplanting tiny pieces from an existing bed.

r

A blessing or a curse, it’s your decision.

Oriental poppies are spectacular but can look very messy once they’ve flowered.

Deadhead them and cut back to ground level to encourage new growth. You may also find that hardy geraniums will flower again later in the year if you cut them back after flowering.

Water any edible crops in grow bags and containers once daily preferably in the early morning. If you have potatoes in containers don’t over-water as this may compact the soil and prevent tubers from swelling. Feed weekly.

Top tip: Keeping thirsty plants well watered can be difficult if it’s hot this month... Dig a well around the base and this will enable to water to be absorbed deeper at root level.

COOPER’S CORNER So, the football season is over and all that’s left is the memories, some bad, some good and some, which were quite frankly bizarre – VAR has certainly had an impact on the beautiful game. But I’m not the one to make sense of it all. I’ll pass you over to our Barry for that honour…

If you’re sitting down...

We’ve had nine months of chaos, drama, chairmen exposing themselves on social media, clubs spying on each other and no shortage of incredible comebacks. And that barely scratches the surface.

Have we ever known a campaign quite like it? I certainly can’t remember one where I’ve constantly used the phrase, ‘bloody football, eh’?

In truth, we should have known we were in for something special after England’s terrific performance at the World Cup in Russia, which was followed up by an impressive Nations League campaign.

At the time of penning this column, Derby County had just upset the odds to beat old foes Leeds United in the play-off semi-final, while Nottingham Forest watched on with eyes of envy as the Rams clocked up another Wembley appearance having failed in their quest for a top six finish.

Elsewhere, Mansfield Town and manager David Flitcroft somehow managed to pass up the giftwrapped opportunity of promotion to League One and Notts County, well, oh dear Notts County.

Installed as promotion favourites last summer following a fine season which saw them narrowly beaten by Coventry City in the play-off semi-final at Meadow Lane, the walls have since come crashing down around them.

No longer can the Magpies call upon the prestigious title of ‘World’s Oldest League Club’ – a crown which will inevitably feel like a kick deep into the genitals for their fans, has now been passed over to Forest.

And no, it isn’t Stoke City. We’ve had that confirmed by the EFL – as if there was ever any doubt. Instead of facing up to life in the third tier, as they hoped would be their reward come the end of the season, they’re now plotting trips to Fylde, Bromley, Dover and Barrow. At least Notts’ old chums Chesterfield will be there to give them a warm embrace.

What the Magpies’ collapse has shown for all to see, is that if you don’t get the right people on board, allow egos to take control and get recruitment all wrong, this is always a risk.

I’ve written in this column earlier in the campaign about Alan Hardy’s indiscretions – a man who arguably had good intentions from the outset, but lacked the professionalism, respect or nous to ever allow the club to be managed successfully.

Hardy’s desperation to be liked, to be front and centre became his downfall and now, he’ll forever be remembered as the man who took the oldest league club in world football, out of it.

Getting back won’t be easy for Notts, they’ll be the big fish in a very competitive pond. Just ask Mansfield, Lincoln, Luton and more recently Chesterfield, just how tough the National League is, and make no mistake about it, they will be the big scalp. It will be a long road back for the Magpies, but it’ll be fascinating watching from close by to see how it all plays out.

But first, they must sort out the ownership. Then and only then can this famous old bird start moving forward in the right direction.

We can convert your old polycarbonate or glass roof into a super insulated, tiled roof with velux windows…..which genuinely transforms the whole room to an “all year round” extension that’s cosy and quiet.

This can be improved even further with replacement “A Rated” windows and doors or re-glazing the existing frames with “A Rated” glazing.
