SUPER SOFT BEDDING OUT OF BAMBOO?

evizes based Bed Linen manufacturer - Between the Sheets who are based at Hopton, have been making their beautiful ranges of exotic bed linen and supplying customers worldwide for well over 20 years. Their range of 100% Bamboo Bed Linen has become very popular, especially for those looking for eco products and also looking for health benefits from sleeping in a natural fabric. The main advantages of bamboo bed linen are:•250 thread count but feels softer than 1000 thread count cotton. •Certified grown organically, free of pesticides and of fertilizers. •Silky Soft and 3 times more absorbent than cotton. Wicks away moisture during the night. •Naturally anti static. •Highly dust mite resistant too – ideal for those prone to allergies and asthma. •Has a soothing effect on irritating skin conditions such as eczema. •Very beneficial for people who overheat whilst sleeping. Banishing ‘night sweats’. •100% Bamboo viscose fibre which meets Oeko-Tex standard 100 product class 1 for baby articles. Their range of Bamboo Sheets and Bed Linen comes in seven colourways and as with all Between the Sheets bedding can be made for any size or shape of bed ensuring a perfect fit every time. Between the Sheets is one of the very few textile companies that actually manufacture in the UK. Design Director Jane Allen explains. “ Most companies in our industry buy finished goods direct from China and the Far East. We visit China regularly to select the very finest fabrics direct from the weavers. We then import the finished fabric on the roll to be made up into Bed Linen in our own workshops here in Devizes. In that way we keep control of the quality of the finished products ensuring that we always hit our own exacting standards” Between the Sheets products can be viewed at their Hopton Showroom. You can phone with any inquiry or to order on 01380739234 or online at www. betweenthesheets.co.uk .

INGREDIENTS 125g butter 2 egg yolks 1/2 tsp White Wine Vinegar pinch salt lemon juice METHOD 1. Melt the butter in a saucepan, skimming any white solids from the surface. Keep the butter warm. 2. Put two eggs yolks, white wine vinegar, a splash of cold water and a pinch of salt in a bowl. The bowl should fit over a saucepan, 3. Whisk for a few minutes then place the bowl over a barely boiling pan of water.

4. Whisk continuously until the sauce thickens and looks pale. 3-5 minutes approx. 5. Remove from the heat and slowly add the melted butter. As with making mayonnaise this should be done with extreme care, so that the sauce does not split. If it becomes too thick add a splash of water. 6. Toast a halved muffin. 7 . Poach an egg, place on top of the muffin and add the sauce.

MARKET

THE

Garden & Home

ecember is not generally our most extreme weather month and one can expect a fair amount of clear frosty mornings and plenty of sunny days. With the light fading so fast - this is the month for getting up early and stuck into any tasks that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been finished in the garden. Below are some of the things you could be getting on with: Continue with your winter digging but only if the soil conditions and weather suit - not too wet or frozen. If you are on clay I would imagine that you can probably forget about it. December is the best month to do any major pruning on ornamental trees and shrubs. Prune bush roses back by half or so to stop them being damaged in the wind. This a good time of the year to plant bare root shrubs and trees while the ground is warm. You may still have time to repair lawns if the weather allows. Make sure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk on the lawn when there is a frost, all you will do is leave big brown foot prints where you have broken the brittle grass stalks. Keep all your house plants in good light but not direct sunlight and water them sparingly. If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done so - insulate the inside of the greenhouse with bubble wrap. Also insulate your cold frames and on really cold nights cover the cold frame with an extra layer. Just because the air is colder now that should not prevent you ventilating your greenhouse and coldframes on the sunnier days

of the month. This will prevent stale air and the dreaded spread of damping off. Keep birds stocked up with fresh water, seeds and any scraps from the house but go easy on white bread. Clean paths of algae repair fences and sheds. If there is a heavy snow fall shake load off branches and foliage to prevent any damage due to excess weight. When the ground is not too wet or frozen continue to lift and divide perennials. Make sure you protect any plants or pots that may be vulnerable to frost damage. Drain water from any pipes or taps that you have in the garden and insulate them. Clean away any damaged or diseased material in and around shrubs and trees. Mulch around all fruit trees and shrubs that have been pruned. When tidying up the garden, leave a pile of wood, and leaves in a corner providing somewhere for any hibernating insects or little animals. Always check for animals before clearing anything in the garden. Repair tools and do the odd jobs in the garden that you have been putting off - fence repairs, painting, removing the algae off the patio.In the case of heavy frosts at night, place an old football in the pond to allow the fish and any other creatures to survive Plants will still need watering this month but go easy and be careful not to overwater. The soil should only be slightly damp nearly dry. If you are in a windy location protect any newly planted evergreen shrubs that you plant with a wind break.

MARKET

Sir Alex Ferguson Sir Alex announced his retirement as manager of Manchester United after 27 years in the role. He has gone out in a blaze of glory, with United winning the Premier League for the 13th time, and he is widely considered to be the greatest manager in the history of British football.

described Sir Alex as a father figure. Over the past four years, Sir Alex has been reflecting on and jotting down the highlights of his extraordinary career and in his new book he will reveal his amazing story as it unfolded, from his very early days in the tough shipyard areas of Govan.

Over the last quarter of a century there have been seismic changes at Manchester United. The only constant element has been the quality of the manager’s league-winning squad and United’s run of success, which included winning the Champions League for a second time in 2008.

Andy Murray

Sir Alex created a purposeful, but welcoming, and much envied culture at the club which has lasted the test of time. Sir Alex saw Manchester United change from a conventional football club to what is now a major business enterprise, and he never failed to move with the times. It was directly due to his vision, energy and ability that he was able to build teams both on and off the pitch.

His new book, Andy Murray: SeventySeven, will take us on a personal journey through his career. Focusing on the last two dramatic years, he will share with us his thoughts on the pivotal moments of his playing career and allow us a glimpse into his world - his intense training regime, his close-knit team and his mental and physical battle to get to the very top. This beautiful and very personal book will be a stunning celebration of Andy’s career so far.

He was a man-manager of phenomenal skill, and increasingly he had to deal with global stars. His relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, for instance, was excellent and David Beckham has

Andy Murray is one of Britain’s best loved athletes. On the 7th July 2013 he became the first British man to lift the Wimbledon trophy for 77 years.
