News - in - brief PARK CREATOR OPENS THE IMPROVED WILDLIFE GARDEN AT FERRY MEADOWS

Thirty seven years after Ferry Meadows Country Park opened to the public, its key creator Wyndham Thomas will be visiting to formally open its improved Wildlife Garden.

The garden, which forms part of the Visitor Centre, is a ‘park in miniature’. Offering shelter from the winds that whistle across the lake and meadows but representing the variety of habitats in the wider Nene Park, it contains a small pond, meadow areas and trees.

Gardener Gareth Lorman, who formerly worked in Monty Don’s garden, said: “It has been an absolute pleasure to work alongside the volunteers and rangers to carry out all the improvements to the garden. Their dedication has transformed this space with log piles, new decking to the pond, bamboo chimes, butterfly borders and stepping stones amongst the flowers.”

Come rain or shine, volunteers work alongside the park rangers every Wednesday.

With some of them being keen gardeners at home, they have been able to apply muscle power and enthusiasm to achieve the garden improvements.

Volunteer Graham May says “We really hope that people of all ages will visit the garden, enjoy its flowers, plants and insects and that they will be inspired to do more in their own gardens.

Please do pop into the Visitor Centre on your next visit to the park to collect a free leaflet giving you top ten tips to follow in your own garden to encourage and enjoy more wildlife.”

Thomas says that when he arrived in Peterborough, “the land in what’s now known as Nene Park was very bleak and often flooded, while the city had very few public open spaces.

So my idea was to develop the flood land for recreation, but I didn’t have a detailed picture in my mind or the certainty that it would appeal to people on a regional scale. So to see it now, nearly 40 years later, with such good facilities and so many visitors from a wide area is hugely gratifying.

“It wouldn’t have happened without the skilled planners, engineers and estate managers at the Development Corporation, the support of the city council, the specialists working at the centre - and now of course all the volunteers.”

Clare Freeman, Head of Landscape at Nene Park Trust, said, “It is such an inspiring privilege to be able to chat to Wyndham about his original thinking and vision for the park. It is amazing to think that when I was at primary school, a younger Wyndham was busy with colleagues at the Peterborough Development Corporation creating Nene Park. The landscape today looks so mature and the park is much loved by generations of local people from the city and surrounding area.”

Gardens are perfect habitats for wildlife and the number we have nationally means we can do something important for nature quite literally on our doorstep. Some 87% of homes have access to a garden, and suburban gardens - which support an enormous variety of plants - now cover at least a million acres (405,000 ha) of England and Wales. With the diversity of insects found in a single garden repeated around the country, gardens are collectively the most important nature reserves in the UK. People are invited to come to the Wildlife Garden and revisit their childhood by having a go on the bamboo chimes and following the stepping stones through the flowers.

What’s Happening Choir Appeals For Members A choir for the blind and visually impaired is appealing for members across Rutland. The Visionary Vocals Choir was set up and continues to be supported

by Oakham based opticians Simmons Optomertrists. The group meets for two hours every Thursday between 11am and 1pm at the Railway Inn in Oakham.

Wheelchairs, guide dogs and carers are also welcome. Members of the choir choose popular songs to sing at each session which range from 1980s classics to the present day top 40 hits.

Stamford Retain Burghley Crown Stamford Town retained their Burghley Park sixes crown with a dramatic last ball win over Nassington in the final of this years Burghley Park Cricket Club Cricket Week and Beer Festival. Organisers would like to thank everyone involved.

They received a fantastic support from local business as well as residents.

HOLIDAY PROGRAMME AT STAMFORD CHILDREN’S CENTRE

WARNING OVER TOXIC GIANT HOGWEED PLANT

Stamford Children’s Centre are holding a summer holiday programme teaming up with Teamzone to hold activities on the Recreation Ground near the Skate Park on the following Wednesdays, 29 July, 5, 12 & 19 August from 11:00 – 14:00. There will be sports, arts, crafts and games suitable for all the family. Why not come along with your children and join in the fun.

People are being warned to be extra vigilant after a number of reports of the toxic giant hogweed across the UK in the last couple of weeks. There have been sightings across the country, and several people have said they have seen the plant growing on verges alongside the A606 Oakham bypass. Giant hogweed grows very quickly and contains chemicals. These substances can lead to severe burns as they prevent the body from protecting itself against UV light.

5 THINGS TO DO IN AUGUST â&#x20AC;˘ The Bourne outdoor pool is a real gem.

Take a picnic and spend a day poolside, you will feel like youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on holiday!

www.bourneoutdoorswimmingpool.org â&#x20AC;˘ Enjoy the Bank Holiday on 31 August; host a family BBQ, plan a day out or have a last minute cheeky weekend away.

Whatever you do, have fun.

â&#x20AC;˘ Did you know that 2 August is National Sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day? If you have a pretty special sister send her a beautiful bouquet of flowers, give her a box of chocolates or treat her to lunch out show her how much she means to you.

â&#x20AC;˘ The Anglo-Saxons called August â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weod monathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, meaning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;weed monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

It is believed that August is when weeds and plants grow the fastest - time to put on your gardening gloves and tend your garden.

WORK EXPERIENCE For the past three years I have been working for the Marketplace as a distributer and when I was given the opportunity to work alongside the Marketplace team for my year 10 work experience, I was thrilled.

Being a distributer, I have never really given a moments thought as to what exactly goes into the making of the magazines that I have been delivering through letterboxes every month. During the past two weeks of my work experience, I have worked alongside the design team, editors and sales department. From the moment I stepped into the office, I was made to feel part of the team, as everyone was so kind and made me feel welcome. One of my first jobs was to go around Bourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shops with Amy taking photos of clothing and hunting down the ideal household items, which would fit into the seaside theme. Proofreading also came into it a lot, for obvious reasons everything needed to be perfect.

Now I realise just how much hard work and planning goes into producing each magazine.

â&#x20AC;˘ Go on a scavenger hunt. Explore Burghley Park or Fineshade Woods and see how many different animals, insects and plants you can spot.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT PUPPY FOR YOU Are you thinking about getting a dog or puppy in the next few months?

Perhaps youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unsure about whether to go for a pedigree pup or a rescue dog? Or maybe you have no idea which of the hundreds of breeds and crossbreeds might be right for you!

You may even already have your perfect breed in mind.

RDF Television is looking for people to film as they make this important decision, for an exciting new BBC2 science series.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for families, singles, couples, of all ages and from all over the country to take part. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the opportunity to meet experts and get involved in some dog activities to help you make the right choice.

So if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re considering bringing a dog or puppy into your life in the near future, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to hear from you. Please email us at Puppies@rdftelevision.com for more info and an application form.

That’s my

BUSINESS M

“We were restoring more furniture for others than we were for ourselves”

any people dream of being their own boss and setting up their own business. We speak to four local business owners who took the plunge and made their dream a reality. Going it alone and setting up your own business can be a daunting prospect, but with good planning, hard work and determination you can make it work - as Jason, Sally, Sian and Jessica prove.

Name: Jason Skinner Business: Dotty Hen Vintage Furniture What they do: Bespoke, handmade shabby chic furniture and decorative items Where: Abbey Road, Bourne Contact: 07980 326871 Where it all began “When our son was a baby my wife Sarah and I decided to buy a small house in France where we could holiday. A home from home, with all the comfort and ease you need when you have a small baby.

“We decorated the house with traditional French furniture, using as many original, secondhand pieces as possible. I’ve always been interested in design, paint and fabric, and had completed a home course several years back - it was exciting to be putting what I had learned to use.

Friends and family started commenting on what a good job we were doing and began asking if we could do items for them, then their friends asked if we could do the same for them, and on it went - we were restoring more furniture for others than we were for ourselves.

“Around this time I was made redundant from my part-time job, it was the spur we

needed to give this little hobby a proper go.

That, and my wife had a list of ‘40 things to do at 40’, and starting our own venture was on there - so it was time to tick that one off.”

Making the idea a reality “We decided that as I would be the main ‘school run’ parent when our little one started school, being my own boss and starting Dotty Hen would be a better move than finding another part-time job. We began by selling our wares on eBay, Facebook and Etsy, only buying stock from sales we made - so not a huge gamble to start.

“Things took off at quite a rate. It wasn’t long before furniture started taking over our house and garage, and people began asking if we did work on commission. It soon became clear that we needed to move Dotty Hen from our home to a retail space.”

What makes it worth it?

“Seeing our shop sign go up was such a feelgood moment and made things seem real.

I love getting photos back from customers when something I have restored is sitting in their home and they’re telling me how much they love it - this has to be the biggest high.

“I get very nervous when doing commission

work as I would hate for the customer to be disappointed. The moment before they collect a finished item is always a stressful time for me - I set myself high standards.

“The support of local people and businesses has been amazing, this always surprises and humbles me.”

The story so far “We’re a one-man family business taking its baby steps - everything is new and exciting.

We’re working on integrating ourselves into Bourne town centre and working alongside other businesses to bring shoppers to the town and help it grow.”

What’s next?

“In time, as the business grows, we would love to expand to a bigger retail space and be able to employ our own staff, training and teaching them Dotty Hen’s values and ways of thinking.

In the long-term it would be amazing to be a small part of Bourne’s history.”

Top tips “I have just one, simple piece of advice - be brave and go for it. Love what you do, work hard, and it will happen.”

on Facebook for shelf-renters was rewarded with a huge response, I knew there was a need for this kind of thing and decided to go for it.

“It has been hard to keep a rigid business plan, but I think flexibility and listening to what people want is the key to success.”

What makes it worth it?

“Seeing what has been in my head for the last two years slowly become reality is pretty amazing, and it feels so good when someone buys a crafter’s product.

“Luck has been on my side and so far the whole experience has been fantastic.”

The story so far “The shop has been set up for a month now and officially open a few weeks. It’s been busy with customers which is great to see.”

“Seeing what has been in my head for the last two years slowly become reality is pretty amazing” Name: Sally Barker Business: The Craft Centre What they do: Handmade arts and crafts, made by locals. Craft sessions, hot drinks and cake Where: West Street, Bourne Contact: 01778 425540 Where it all began I’m a crafter myself and love unique, handmade items. I discovered hundreds of amazingly talented people on Facebook and started buying all my gifts directly from them. I felt that such beautiful things deserved to be seen by more people than just those who follow social media sites.

I knew that the popularity of shelf-rental was growing, it’s an easy way for people to showcase their creations, especially if craft fairs which can be a bit hit and miss, are not their thing.

“The workshop side of things came about while I was sat in a coffee shop, watching mums trying to have a coffee with their little ones in tow, and not being able to keep them still and occupied.

“I think that most children can be distracted by something new and interesting to try, and

Concept_August 15_1-25.indd 23

there are endless things that can be done to encourage their creativity long enough for their mum, dad or carer to enjoy a hot drink.”

Making the idea a reality “Making the decision to go ahead with this venture took a lot of thinking and soulsearching, and a very convenient maturing of an old endowment which provided me the funds, meaning I didn’t have to borrow any money certainly helped. After a shout-out

What’s next?

“The next step is to establish the crafting side of things. I want The Craft Centre to be THE place to come if you have toddlers and preschoolers in the week, and for everyone on Saturday mornings and in the holidays. There will also be evening classes and workshops for all ages to learn new skills and share talents and interests.

“I aim to make The Craft Centre super parent-friendly, with healthy snacks and drinks for the children, and tea, coffee and homemade cakes and bakes for parents to enjoy while their children craft. Parents can take the opportunity to meet up with friends, while also having the bonus of a one-stop shop, offering a fantastic and varied selection of items; either ‘off the shelf ’ or personalised and bespoke. There will also be fabulous themed party packages, crafting groups, plus the chance to hire the space for other events and activities.”

Top tips “As long as your idea is viable and sustainable, and you can go into it as debt-free as possible, go for it.

“Listen to all advice, and while you might want to get carried away with the excitement of your dream, always stay grounded with regard to the practical stuff.

“Be passionate and believe in what you want to achieve, you will find that your enthusiasm is infectious and people will be inspired and share your vision - it’s worked for me.”

The Alchemist

by Paulo Coelho

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is a fable about a shepherd boy, Santiago, from Andalusia in Southern Spain. He lives a simple shepherd’s life. He is simple and innocent and his needs are few, but he craves excitement and adventure, and he wants to travel and see the world. One day he meets an old god/king (the fabled King of Salem, Melchizedek) who promises to tell him where to find treasure, in exchange for one tenth of his flock of sheep. The boy, believing in omens, and that the omens are guiding him, gives the sheep to the old man.

After giving the old man his share of sheep, he is told that he should listen to the omens and follow what they tell him to do. He must go to Morocco, and then journey through the Sahara desert to the Pyramids where he will find his treasure. He has many setbacks but eventually he reaches his destination, however it is his journey that is his real treasure.

He learns better how to read the omens and discovers their importance.

He learns how to listen to his heart, to understand when it is lying and when it is telling the truth. He finds true love, an unending perfect love.

Although the treasure is the primary aim of this journey, it is only while on the journey that the boy gathers the skills and wisdom he needs to reach his goal. With the help of the wise Alchemist who can talk directly to the Soul of the World he finds his way through the metaphorical jungle of indecision before leading him, quiet literally, through the desert to find his treasure.

Described as a publishing phenomenon The Alchemist has had a lifeenhancing impact on millions of people. It has become one of the bestselling books in history and has set the Guinness World Record for the most translated book by a living author.

I will let Madonna have the last word ‘The Alchemist is a beautiful book about magic, dreams and the treasures we seek elsewhere and then find on our doorstep.’

When Archie Stringweed turns 10 years old, he doesn’t expect anything out of the ordinary to occur. He’ll have his friends over, get a new video game, eat some cake… nothing extra special. However, when his long-lost uncle Rufus returns, with news of some very troubling matters soon to occur, Archie begins to get worried. It doesn’t help when he starts seeing glowing orbs of green light, getting pushed around by gusts of talking wind, and visited by very large birds bearing strange gifts. With a gigantic, cursed tornado drawing ever closer, and a series of mysterious, magical birthday presents to find, will Archie make the deadline in time?

This book is a good read for 8 years and older who enjoy a good, complex plot.

It was definitely creepier than it first seemed, with lots of well-paced suspense and mystery. I liked the characters and animals that were introduced along the way, and, though the writing style was reminiscent of Harry Potter, this is a highly original story all its own. I highly recommend it and its sequel, Wave Traveller.

The Summer Reading Challenge 2015 There’s still time to join the 2015 Summer Reading Challenge Organised by The Reading Agency charity and the public library network, the annual Summer Reading Challenge, aimed at 4-11 year olds and their families is simple and fun.

Children are encouraged to read six or more library books of their choice during the summer holidays with collectable incentives and rewards, plus a certificate for every child who completes the challenge.

Children can sign up at their local library during the summer holidays- it’s absolutely free - and pre-schoolers can take part in the mini-challenge.

Over forty children signed up at Stamford Library when this year’s scheme was launched on Saturday 11th July, and many more are expected to sign up during the summer holidays.

Those taking part are all invited to the library’s weekly Chat and Choose sessions where, on a Wednesday morning between 10am and 12noon youngsters can drop in for a chat with the library ladies about their latest riveting reads and get some help choosing their next ones. There will also be two children’s craft activities on 23 July and 20 August where children and their families can drop in and get arty.

Join us at Stamford Library on Saturday 11 July 10.30am – 12.30pm to make your promise.

Terracotta Cat

Mediterranean Garden designed by Debbie Cooke

AUGUST

in the GARDEN A

ugust is a time for reaping the harvest and keeping it all going OR going on holiday and forgetting all about it. Whichever your choice I hope that you find the following useful.

Bringing home a taste of the Med

I’m sure that many of us will spend some time this summer enjoying some Mediterranean sunshine only to return to a grey and damp Blighty. We rarely have the weather of the Med but there’s no reason we can’t have a garden that’s reminiscent of a summer holiday.

Getting the look Paving: Warm coloured paving with a riven (textured) surface will make the garden feel warm and cosy. You’ll probably want to take your shoes off and walk barefoot.

Gravel: Look at different types of gravel.

Apricot pebbles are a little more expensive than local gravel but they have a much more exotic feel with their richer colours and rounded shape.

Pots and Ornaments: Choose rounded terracotta pots suggestive of olive oil jars

rather than traditional plant pots which are more suited to English gardens. Blue glazed pots also have a feel of sunny, far off lands.

Group pots of the same type together in 3s or 5s for use as focal points or to fill up otherwise wasted corners. Use impressive, single pots as focal points or in pairs to add symmetry by flanking a door or path.

Drainage: One thing that’s guaranteed to kill off your Mediterranean-style planting is poor drainage. Some of these plants are natives of mountainous regions so can withstand very low temperatures. What they can’t stand, however, is cold, soggy feet. Their roots will rot. So before you contemplate recreating the

garden from your holiday villa, make sure your soil is suitably prepared by improving it with grit.

Plants: Choose plants for dry environments but do check if they are tender. Grow tender plants in pots, topped with decorative gravel mulch, so that you can bring them under cover in winter.

Plant of the month: Acanthus mollis (Bear’s Breeches) I love the statuesque spires of purple and white flowers on this hardy perennial. It will tolerate sun or dry, partial shade and grows to an impressive 1.5m. Acanthus spinosa has spinier, deeply cut leaves and flowers earlier but has the same notable spires.

Jobs to do in AUGUST In the Flower Garden:

• Cutting back & deadheading: Generally if it doesn’t look good cut it off. This includes the leaves of spring flowering plants such as Brunnera and Pulmonaria.

• Prune: Early flowering shrubs need pruning now to get the best displays for next year.

Prune untidy Pyracantha back to the developing berries.

• Save seed & take cuttings: Save yourself money by producing your own plants for next year. Get the children to help by collecting seed in envelopes, don’t forget to write the name on them.

In the Vegetable Garden:

Bees on an Echinops

• Plant: Little and often to prevent gluts of vegetables. Delay further sowings of salad leaves in hot dry weather as they will quickly run to seed.

• Harvesting: Harvest herbs to freeze or dry. Pick crops as soon as they mature to encourage more fruits. If you can’t use it or preserve it, sell it or give it away. If you’re going away get Harvest Time friends/family to pick crops (payment for watering for you).

In the Greenhouse:

• Keep on top of ventilating, watering and feeding.

• Damp down to reduce the temperature and create humidity.

Pots and Containers:

Apricot pebbles

Thistle type plants like Eryngiums and Echinops, (pictured here with bees), are excellent in hot dry borders as are Sedum, Achillea and Salvias. Salvia x sylvestris ‘Mainact’ is one of my favourites.

For a slightly more shady border try Euphorbia (careful as the sap can irritate), Acanthus (Flower of the month) and Hardy Geraniums (there’s one for almost every situation).

Herbs: These fit really well into a Mediterranean theme as that is where many of them hail from. Choose from lavender, nepeta, thymes, purple sage and rosemary, most of which have the added bonus of being edible and attracting bees. If you have a very sheltered garden you could also have an olive tree.

Happy gardening!

• Watering & deadheading are even more important now to keep your summer bedding going till the end of the season. If someone is watering for you whilst you’re away, group pots in the shade, water them well and if possible stand them in trays to retain as much moisture as possible.

• Feeding is important. After three months of growth the slow release food you added when planting will be starting to run out.

A regular dose of tomato feed will give flagging plants a boost.

Lawn Care:

• Continue to mow the lawn as necessary but set the blades a little higher to keep it green.

• Do not feed or water the lawn. If it does get scorched it will soon green up again when it rains.

• It’s very important for birds to have a supply of fresh water to keep their feathers clean and to drink of course. Also spare a thought for hedgehogs and leave a shallow bowl of water on the ground for them.

I have shallow ‘Dustbin Lid Ponds’ in my garden, the wildlife loves them. If you would like information on how to make one of these, please contact me.

Top Colour TRENDS

xplore Johnstone’s latest range of inspiring colour palettes and set a mood that feels right for your home and right for you.

Mosaic, Theorem and Magnifigance are some of the hottest colour trends this summer.

Mosaic Mosaic represents the wealth and mix of artistry in the world. Mosaic combines a playful mix of hues that together feel more bohemian.

To get the Mosaic look combine bold bright shades such as Fiery Sunset, Teal Topaz or Mocha with pale off whites and creams such as White Whisper and Antique Cream.

Trend Colours: Fiery Sunset, Teal Topaz, Mocha, White Wisper, Antique Cream

Theorem This is a clean, calculated, and precise design story that has a modernist tech theme. In terms of colour usage, Theorem has two main applications. The first is head to toe, or rather floor to ceiling neutrals, relying on a healthy balance between cooler greys and warm browns.

Trend Colours: Manhattan Grey, Steel Smoke, Coffee Cream, Toasted Beige

MagniďŹ gance Magnifigance a word blended from magnificent and elegance shows us a lavish, extravagant and opulent trend that consumers are slowly but surely returning to alongside a renewed interest in spending.

The warm tones in this theme should be a balance between the exotic and soft so use Deep Amethyst alongside Moonlit Sky. Trend Colours: Deep Amethyst, Moonlit Sky, Raspberry Blush, Golden Ochre

HAIRY

Top tips

• Exfoliate before waxing to remove dead skin, but do not moisturise as this makes waxing difficult.

• A few days after waxing, gently exfoliate the area three times a week to get rid of the dead skin layer, also helping to reduce ingrown hairs.

business

The ultimate smooth finish.

Baby-soft regrowth - no unsightly stubble.

Can be painful, especially the first time.

Must keep up with appointments.

CREAMS

S

having, plucking, lasering… women put themselves through an awful lot to ensure they’re hair-free and super-smooth for summer. We take a look at the most popular hair removal methods so that you can choose the one that’s best for you.

SHAVE

Armed with a razor you can have smooth legs and be bikini or summer dress ready in minutes. Shaving is simple, quick, cheap and really can’t be faulted for tackling your legs and underarms. A quick run over in the shower every morning can keep things in check, meaning you never have to tackle weeks’ worth of growth.

Top tips

• Never be tempted to dry shave in a bid to save yourself time; you will regret it. Always use a moisturising shaving cream to avoid nicks, cuts and razor burn.

• Leg hair grows down, start from your ankles and shave up.

• Underarm hair grows in every direction; shave in every direction to catch them all.

• Invest in a good quality razor and change the blade regularly. Never use a blunt razor; it’s just asking for trouble.

• Don’t shave your bikini line; it’s a sensitive area. We strongly recommend waxing, rather than waving anything sharp around down there.

Cheap.

Super-smooth finish in an instant.

It’s not a long-term fix. Depending on your hair growth you may have to shave daily to avoid unsightly stubble.

EPILATION

Some women swear by their epilators. They’re essentially a hundred tweezers in one machine which pull out individual hairs from the root quickly. When using an epilator you can enjoy smooth skin for up to four weeks.

A good epilator will cost around £100, but unlike razors, it won’t need to be

If you’re fed up of being a slave to your razor, but can’t quite face the pain of using an epilator or having a wax, a hair-removal (depilatory) cream may be just what you’re looking for. These creams work by dissolving the hair at the skin’s surface, as the hair is not being removed at the root you will need to do this every couple of weeks as it will grow back quicker, but it’s painless.

replaced every couple of weeks so it’s a great investment.

It’s no great secret that epilators are painful, however the first time is the worst. The first time you use an epilator you’re removing almost 100% of the hairs, but less hair grows back, meaning that you won’t feel as much ‘tug and pull’ next time.

Top tips

• Have a bath first; water softens the skin around the hair follicles for a gentler epilation experience.

• Exfoliate before; it removes dead skin and will minimalise ingrown hairs.

• Hold the skin taut; it will take the edge off the pain.

Smooth skin for up to four weeks.

Semi-permanent effect, with continued use hair grows back softer and finer.

There’s no way of sugarcoating it, it hurts.

The initial payout is pricey.

WAX

The idea of waxing may make you winch, but it’s probably the most universally-trusted professional method of hair removal. Legs, underarms, bikini line, eyebrows, upper lip, back - waxing has it all covered. It’s a semipermanent method which rips the hair out at the root, leaving you hair-free for four to six weeks, depending on your hair growth. Hair must be at least quarter to half an inch long for an effective wax and there are different types of wax and techniques depending on what area is being done.

As with epilation there is a certain level of pain, but this becomes less intense the more you do it. Once they have taken the plunge and had a wax, many women never go back to their previous method.

Top tips

• Always do a test patch first to ensure that there are no nasty reactions.

• Use it towards the end of your shower as hydrated hair is easier to remove than dry hair.

Pain-free.

Quick and easy.

Not long-lasting.

Can get messy.

The creams can smell quite nasty.

LASER TREATMENT

Laser treatment is a more permanent method of hair removal. It exposes the hair to pulses of laser light which destroy the hair follicle, offering 90% reduction in hair. It’s a good option if you suffer from excessive hair growth, or if you simply can’t be bothered with the upkeep of other methods.

A typical course of laser treatment requires between three to eight separate sessions, every six weeks for the best results. You will feel discomfort during treatment, but it’s much less intense than waxing.

Top tips

• Exfoliate between sessions to aid the process.

• It’s best to have untanned skin before the treatment. This allows the technician to thoroughly check your skin and ensure that you’re eligible.

You will be virtually hair free after a completed course.

It’s expensive.

Can be time-consuming as you must attend a number of sessions.

It’s not as effective on light hair.

WE HAVE THE ANSWERS TO YOUR BIGGEST BEAUTY PROBLEMS HELP...

HOW DO I SHAPE MY EYEBROWS?

HELP...

HOW DO I KEEP MY NAILS LOOKING HEALTHY?

Perfectly preened eyebrows will balance your features and frame your eyes. Shaping your own eyebrows can be tricky, but these five steps should get you on your way to gorgeous brows.

1. Locate the starting point of your brows using a pair of tweezers.

Flip the tweezers upside down so that the end you pluck with is pointing down and place it vertically alongside the outer-edge of the bottom of your nose, the point where the vertex lands is where your brows should begin.

2. Using an eye pencil, draw a vertical line to mark the start of each brow. Check that the space above the bridge of your nose is centered between the lines and pluck any stray hairs that fall into this area.

3. Lay your tweezers against your cheek so that the end you pluck with is at the bottom of your nose and the other end reaches the outer corner of your eye. The spot where the tweezers makes contact with your brow is where hairs should end. Mark this spot with eye pencil and pluck the hairs beyond the line.

4. Your brows should be between ¼ and ½ and inch thick. Starting just below the fullest part of your brow, use an eye pencil to draw a line along the bottom edge of your brow. The line should follow the natural shape of your brow, above any stray hairs. Pluck the strays below the line.

5. The arch of your eyebrow should peak above the outer rim of your iris and lie directly on your brow bone - mark this point with eye pencil. Remove the row of hairs along the bottom, from inner brow to the peak point.

Et voila, you’re done!

Why is it so hard to grow (and maintain) beautiful nails? You may be surprised to learn that nails are not alive, this means that they can’t repair themselves, it’s up to us to help them stay healthy and look their best.

1. Invest in a high-quality hand cream.

Many things in our day-to-day lives can be damaging to our nails, moisturising daily helps to keep them hydrated, preventing them from becoming brittle, cracking and peeling. When applying moisturising cream, make sure that you rub it onto the nail and into your cuticles.

2. Keep nails on your hands and toes dry and clean to prevent bacteria from settling under your nails, which can cause fungal infections.

3. Trim and file your nails regularly, overgrowing can lead to cracking or splitting.

Plus, paying regular attention to your nails means that you can spot any problems early on.

4. Diet is a contributing factor to healthy nails - eat plenty of greens and drink lots of water to help them stay strong.

TOP TIPS

• Don’t share nail files and emery boards, these become a hive of bacteria. Keep yours to yourself and replace it regularly.

• Wear rubber gloves when washing up. Nails are more likely to break when submerged in water, and both water and chemicals in washing detergents will dry your nails out, causing them to become brittle.

• If you suffer from extremely weak nails you may benefit from biotin, a vitamin supplement shown to help strengthen nails.

• Never tweeze above the brow.

• Make sure you have plenty of light.

• Use a magnifying mirror.

HELP...

HOW DO I KEEP MY SKIN LOOKING HEALTHY? We all crave perfect, glowing skin. If you don’t have time for an intensive skincare routine, there are still little things you can do to give your skin a helping hand.

1. Wear sun cream. Did you know that up to 90% of wrinkles are caused by sun exposure? Sun cream will protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays which are damaging to the skin.

2. Exfoliate and moisturise regularly to clear away dead skin and unblock pores. Remember, you need to change your moisturisers with the season. Skin becomes drier in the winter, meaning that it will need a more intense moisturiser.

HELP...

WHAT MAKE-UP COLOURS WOULD SUIT ME?

3. Use cool water when washing. Hot showers may feel great but hot water strips skin of its moisture and washes away protective oils. Limit showers to 10 minutes and have the water as cool as you can bear!

4. Sleep deprivation lowers circulation, which is why we look so pale and washed out after a bad night’s sleep. It’s called ‘Beauty Sleep’ for a reason, get plenty of it.

5. Keep your beauty products as clean and simple as possible. Products with colour, fragrance or that are ‘antibacterial’ can cause skin irritation.

6. Of course, a healthy lifestyle is key to a radiant complexion. Make sure that you’re drinking plenty of water, which will flush out toxins that cause inflammation and blemishes.

Studies show that foods high in fats and carbohydrates cause more wrinkles and lean proteins such as fish, poultry, beans and lentils are great for rejuvenating skin cells.

7. Remove make-up before bed. It can be a pain when you’re knackered, but leaving it on will clog your pores, dry your skin out and cause ‘skin dandruff ’.

TOP TIPS

• Lightly scratch the skin on your leg, does it leave a white mark? If yes, this means that you have dry skin that is craving exfoliation and a moisturiser.

• Don’t touch your face. Your hands are a breeding ground of bacteria, every time you touch your face you are transferring the bacteria there.

• Clean your make-up brushes at least once every month.

• Rose, sandalwood and bergamot essential oils mixed with water are great for hydrating your skin. Hydrated skin is less prone to frown lines and wrinkles.

Picking out the wrong make-up colours can leave you looking washed out, but the right colours will accentuate your features and make you glow. If you’re wondering what colours would suit you best, it’s recommended that you visit a beauty consultant who can help you find colours that work for you. In the meantime, these tips will give you a headstart.

Eyes: If you have blue eyes choose eyeshadows in shades of brown, gold, peach, pink or apricot. Avoid blue-green shades as these will steal focus and intensity from your eye-colour. Green eyes look fabulous with shades of mauve (plum, purple, pink), khaki green and golds. For brown eyes, you can’t go wrong with shades of coffee, bronze and champagne.

Avoid pastel colours as these will make you look washed out.

Lips: Darker shades make lips look smaller and lighter shades make them look bigger, think about whether your are wanting to maximise or minimise your pout before choosing your colour. Look at the natural tone of your lips and choose a lipstick that will take it up a notch. Think about your skin tone; lipsticks with orange tones don’t really flatter pale skin tones, however red and pink shades will really ‘pop’. If you’re olive-skinned you can’t really go wrong; most red, pink and nude shades will look fantastic. Deep red, plum and berry shades are gorgeous on darker skin tones.

Foundation: A great foundation can give you an instantly flawless, glowing complexion and is a great base for the rest of your make-up.

When choosing a foundation, make sure you take your skin’s undertones into account. Cool undertones require a foundation with a rose, red or blue base. Warm tones need a foundation with a golden or yellow base. Dip a cotton bud into the foundation and apply to the centre of your jawline, along the side of your face. If the shade appears invisible - congratulations, you have a match. When testing a foundation try to look at it in natural light, shop lighting can’t always be trusted. Let the foundation sit for a while so that you can see how it looks once it’s absorbed into your skin.

TOP TIPS

• Try lipstick on your fingertips (if you can’t test it on your lips) to see how it looks with your skin tone.

• When choosing foundation never go paler or darker than your natural skin tone.

• Always finish off your look with mascara, it adds intensity and really makes your eyes stand out.

• Don’t know what your undertone is? Hold your wrists up to the sunlight, if the veins in your inner wrist appear blue then you have a cool undertone, if they are greenish then you are warm.

BRIDAL BEAUTY Get gorgeous for your big day

T

he wedding season is now in full swing with August and September the most popular months for tying the knot.

Organised brides will have started to plan a long way ahead including their beauty routines in order to establish a good treatment plan before the big day.

A course of facials will get your skin in tip top condition. Ask your beauty therapist for advice on frequency of appointments as different kinds of facials will require different treatment schedules.

Lashes and brows are big news at the moment but it is important to still look like you on your big day. Don’t go for anything too radical just before your wedding or you

may live to regret it. If you don’t wear much makeup an eyelash tint is a good option and great for the honeymoon but make sure you have a patch test at least 24 hours before to check for allergies or it could be disastrous.

Bridal makeup should always be done with a trial first. Shop around until you find the look that you like. Although Bridal makeup should look natural, don’t forget that you need more on than normal to look good on your photographs.

When choosing your final nail colour for your big day, choose a colour that works well with the rest of the wedding. Not all brides now wear white or cream so anything goes.

French polish and nude colours will always be favourite bridal looks but pastels are a hot trend this year. The choices of colours now are incredible so there will be something there for everyone, whatever their choice.

Book in all your appointments well in advance so there is no last minute stress about getting in somewhere. Beauty treatments are often relegated to the bottom of the list but it can be stressful organising a wedding. Book some downtime with the help of your therapist and you can enjoy your wedding stress free, looking fabulous.

HAIRSTYLE secrets

with M&Arc Style Director Mark Walker

M

ark loves giving hairstyle makeovers and couldn’t wait to hit the streets of Bourne to offer a hair do-over to an unsuspecting Bourne resident.

When Mark spotted Olivia Howard-Moran, an A-level student at Bourne Grammar School, he knew instantly that he wanted to style her long, wavy locks.

Olivia said: “I was on my way to my first A-level exam, my mind was fully engrossed in what the day may have in store so agreed without really thinking about it.”

it in place with grips. Once all sections have been curled spritz with a light coverage of hairspray.

These curls are great to create with friends, you can all get together and curl each other’s hair, or if you’re wanting to create an extreme curl you can leave the ‘invisible rollers’ in overnight.

After letting the ‘invisible rollers’ cool, Mark released them and brushed them through to create softer waves.

“Once the curls had been brushed, I wrapped Olivia’s hair round and gripped it to the side. I then twisted each section of hair, securing with grips as I went. The finished look is a beautiful and tousled ‘up-do’. The beauty of this hairstyle is that it doesn’t have to look perfect.”

Olivia was thrilled with her new look. “I’m absolutely delighted with what Mark did to my hair,” she said. “The whole experience has been brilliant. I have learned lots of tips on how to work with my hair and create simple styles that look great. I can’t wait to try some out myself.”

Olivia was treated to a haircut at the salon, before arriving for her hairstyle makeover a few days later.

Feeling nervous but excited, Olivia took to the chair so that Mark could work his magic on her hair. The aim, to transform Olivia from A-level student to a sophisticated young lady.

“To prepare your hair for styling it’s so important to use a good quality hair product, such as styling mousse,” explained Mark. “Applying generous amounts of product gives the hair texture and makes it easier to work with.

“First I rubbed mousse through Olivia’s hair making sure that the product was evenly distributed from root to tip, then brushed it through to ensure even coverage and blow-dried her hair using a wide paddle brush, lifting from the roots to give volume.

“Next I divided the hair into sections, twisted each section of hair and secured with a hair grip. Now that the hair is pinned into sections and out of the way I can create the curls. Taking one section at a time I used hair straighteners to curl the section of hair as if creating an invisible roller and pinned 44 / CONCEPT MAGAZINE AUGUST 15

If you’re ready to care for a special pet, here’s a few ideas to help you choose one that will fit your needs and lifestyle.

W

e all love animals... wouldn’t it be great to have a house full of pets?! Well, yes, as long as you understand what you’re taking on and how to look after them. You need to determine which pet is right for you. Are you looking for a pet to take out on walks and spend lots of time playing with? Or are you looking for something a little more exotic that doesn’t take up too much of your time? Do you want a big or small pet to look after?

Explore! Pets & Animals (available to buy from WHSmith) covers everything you need to know about some of the UK’s most popular pets. You can read about reptiles, exotic birds, fish, furries, ponies, stick insects and of course the most popular choices, puppies and kittens.

Narrow your choice and then read up on as much as you can before making your final decision. Their website, www.yourpet.tv, has a bit more information about taking care of your pet and the costs involved, but there are plenty of books out there too.

REPTILES Are you thinking about getting a reptile? ?

Reptiles are not your average pet, but they hey are great to have if you want something more unique and interesting to look after. They y require very specific living conditions as they originate riginate from warmer climates, so you must be sure ure you can provide them with everything they need to live happily. Some reptiles can grow bigger than you think!

SMALL FURRIES There are lots of small furries that make great pets, but some require more care and attention than others. hers.

Rabbits, for example, will need a big hutch and run d a ru n outdoors so they can exercise and graze, whereas eas hamsters and mice need a smaller cage that can an be housed indoors all year round. Our top tip is not ot to overlook the rat... pet rats are very different to the ones o you’ll find in the wild.

BIRDS Birds can be fantastic pets, and they are great company too! They love to interact with people e and can be very entertaining. Birds need a good sized cage or outdoor aviary, and if kept indoors they’ll need a suitable and safe room oom to be allowed out of their cage to fly. Some me birds are easier to live with than others. o e s. Exotic birds, such as parrots, can chatterboxes be c atterboxes so they could be considered cons dered as a noisy pet.

Looking after your

PET’S TEETH Y

our pet’s teeth develop a build-up of plaque and need looking after, just as our teeth do. If not cared for properly dental diseases can become a real problem.

Did you know that by three years of age up to 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have signs of dental disease? This makes dental disease one of the most common conditions seen in pets by vets. Here are some tips on keeping your pet’s teeth in tip-top condition.

BRUSHING Daily brushing using specially formulated pet toothpaste is ideal. Unfortunately some pets (especially cats) won’t tolerate brushing.

Starting brushing when your pet is young should help with acceptance. Never use human toothpaste.

GUM WIPES/RINSES If your pet will not accept brushing then these are the next best option. They contain chlorhexidine and are antibacterial, they can reduce tartar build by up to 40%.

DENTAL CHEWS/TOYS/DIETS These products are designed to help

physically clean the teeth while your pet is chomping on them. Some ‘dental diets’ also help slow tartar formation by binding calcium in the saliva.

Just like us even with regular brushing your pets will get tartar build up over time and require a ‘hygienist appointment’.

Unfortunately with our pets this needs to be done under anaesthetic.

If tartar is left the gums become diseased, causing sore gums, loose teeth, infections and root exposure.

Animates offer free dental checks all year round with one of our nurses to inspect your

pets mouth and advise on any action required.

Something you can do at home is check your pets’ teeth regularly. Animates can show you how to do this.

Here are some things to keep an eye out for: • Redness of gums • Swelling • Bleeding gums • Crusted yellow/brown tartar build-up • Bad breath • Any sign of pain or discomfort when eating or dropping food • Refusing to eat

Throughout August Animates are offering 10% off their fixed dental prices. This includes a pre-anaesthetic blood test to check liver and kidney values, intravenous fluid therapy (a drip) to help protect the internal organs and support blood pressure whilst under anaesthetic, and a general anaesthetic for scale and polish. In some cases tooth extractions will be required, but often this is only evident once the tartar covering a tooth is removed.

• Make sure they have access to clean water at all times and that the bowl can’t be knocked over.

• Provide a nice shady spot for your pet to take refuge in, and if they are real sun worshippers, make sure they use it.

• Limit your pet’s ‘outdoor time’ to early morning and evening when it’s a bit cooler out.

• Excessive panting • Profuse salivation • Lethargy • Lack of coordination If you’re concerned about heatstroke in your pet, seek veterinary advice immediately.

Remember!

Never under any cir cumstances, leave your dog in th e car.

• Try filling a dog toy (such as a Kong) with a bit of kibble and wet dog food and put it in the freezer. In just a few hours your dog can enjoy a fun, cool treat.

• If your dog likes to be in the garden; fill up a small, shallow paddling pool with water and a few of his favourite toys. He will love splashing around - or he may simply choose to lay in it.

• If you have small furries such as rabbits, guinea pigs or hamsters, make sure that their cages are placed in a shaded area. Be extra vigilant with hygiene, heat leads to more flies which will lay their eggs in your pet’s bedding, resulting in maggots if you don’t clean their cages regularly.

WR SDVV \RXU GULYLQJ WHVW

Go Go Go Intensive is based in Peterborough and offers learner drivers a fast and cost-effective way to pass both the driving theory test and practical driving test for a standard fee of ÂŁ795. According to the Driving Standards Agency (DSA) the average driver needs 45 professional lessons and a further 20 lessons from family members, friends or a professional instructor. The average cost for professional tuition is ÂŁ20 - ÂŁ22 per hour which means that the average learner driver is paying up to ÂŁ1200 to pass their practical driving test.

While there is nothing wrong with weekly lessons it could take up to 60 weeks for a student to pass their driving test. Go Go Go Intensive offers a structured course syllabus at its training centre and removes the kerbside instruction into a classroom environment.

The benefit to this is that all the time spent in the car is spent on driving with little or no kerbside instruction. The syllabus was developed by a Defensive Driving Examiner and is based on the Military and Police system, which is recognised as the most efficient and cost effective way of obtaining a driving licence.

This is because there are no gaps in learning, where a student can forget what they did during a lesson a week before.

The courses run Monday to Friday and start at 9.00am. The first hour is spent in the classroom with an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) who starts training and preparing students for their theory test. Students are collected by their driving Instructor at 10.00am where they have a two hour intensive driving lesson, a rest break for half an hour, followed by a further two hour intensive driving lesson.

Students return to the classroom at 2.30pm for further training and the course finishes at 5.00pm each day. At the start of the week the classroom training focuses on getting students to pass their theory and hazard perception tests, which are pre-booked to be taken on the Thursday or Friday of the week. By the middle of the week the classroom training focuses on all the elements that are normally taught at the kerbside during weekly lessons.

By the end of the week students should have passed their theory test and will have covered all aspects of normal driving. If the Instructor has signed off the student as test ready then they can book a short notice test where Go Go Go Intensive can dramatically reduce the practical test waiting time.

The company is so confident with its teaching methods that should a student fail the theory test, or practical driving test if they have been signed off as test ready, then any corrective lessons required will be provided free of charge until a test pass is achieved.

The company also has unique links with the Institute of Advanced Motorists and gives free affiliate membership, for 12 months, to all students who pass their driving test. The Institute teaches the Police system called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roadcraftâ&#x20AC;? and when applied you cannot have a collision that is your fault. Given the Governments statistic that one in five new drivers crash within 6 months of passing their driving test the system is an invaluable tool and dramatically reduces insurance premiums.

Super Wines for

Summer Drinking T

he summer months herald a change in vinous preference. From full-bodied, oaked and hearty wines of the colder months we move to crisp, fresh, more elegant wines better suited to warmer days.

This stands to reason because our choice of food also changes to suit the season.

No-one wants to eat a rich beef stew with dumplings on a hot summer day and equally, a headache-inducing, 15% fullthrottle Australian Shiraz is enough to make you put the glass down before the cork is even pulled.

Salads and salmon, cold boiled potatoes and ham on the bone, and all manner of simpler, fresher food demands wines with sympathetic notes.

We have so much choice these days.

Supermarkets and specialist wine merchants have a great range of wines, more than sufficient to suit every type of food or just as an aperitif. This month I have scoured the shelves of what one might describe the ordinary supermarkets; the likes of Morrisons, Tesco, The CoOperative and Sainsbury’s. Waitrose and M&S certainly have a more upmarket range and better choice but even these ordinary supermarkets have a very good selection.

Two white wines that caught my eye are absolutely perfect for summer. Firstly, the widely available Villa Maria, New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc is a super wine, clean and fresh with piercing acidity and notes of cut grass, citrus and a hint of warm climate tropical fruit. Delicious on its own or with fish or seafood. Many supermarkets sell dressed lobster at the fish counter and this would be a superb match.

Secondly, I really enjoyed the Araldica, Madonnia, Gavi. Made from the Cortese grape, this Piedmontese stunner is sappy and crisp, bursting with citrus fruit with a slight almond note. It would be excellent as an aperitif or with pasta. I spotted it in Morrisons but it’s available elsewhere too. Both of these wines are good value at around £10.00 each.

There are also a number of lighter styled red wines that are ideal for summer drinking. You may still prefer a more fullbodied red at night but for lunchtimes or

late afternoon BBQs, a lighter style of red is usually a better choice. I tend to look for wines with good acidity, which gives the impression of freshness and lift, recent vintages, because the wines are in their first flush and are more fruity than complex and lastly, wines that are lower in tannins.

Certain grape varieties and regions are naturally more suited than others and very good examples would be cool-climate Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc from the Loire valley, Dolcetto and Barbera from Italy and Gamay from Beaujolais.

A perennial favourite of mine is the Louis Jadot, Chateau des Jacques, Moulin-aVent, Beaujolais. It shows just how good Grand Cru Beaujolais can be! Crunchy red berries, brambles, a hint of spice and enough depth and structure to work really well with grilled meats and sausages. It can often retail at around £14 but you should regularly see it on offer for £10 or less. At that price it’s a terrific wine.

A surprise winner for me was the Jacktone Ranch, Pinot Noir from California. I say surprise because California’s warm, coastal climate is better suited to Cabernet Sauvignon than the more thin-skinned, delicate Pinot Noir. However, this example from Jacktone Ranch comes from the fresher northern region and benefits from cool evening breezes through the San Joaquin Valley. It is a wine of purity and elegance. Raspberry and cherry with a touch of Asian spice.

It would be excellent with pork or chicken. Available from Tesco at around £12.

These examples are worth seeking out. They offer plenty of bang for your buck and are ideally suited to summer. Sitting on the patio, relaxing with friends, listening to your favourite music and drinking fantastic wine – what more could you ask for? Let’s just hope summer lasts!

STARTING

SECONDARY SCHOOL T

his is a big one and it can be a daunting prospect for you and your child. It marks the passage to adolescence and the start of the journey to adulthood. Most children are ready to move to secondary school, eager for this exciting new chapter to begin. For parents, it’s the first step to letting go, to trusting your child to manage their own responsibilities, to letting them become independent.

Visit the school Secondary schools are much larger than primary schools and have a completely different look and feel. Take advantage of open days or evenings so that your child can get a feel for their new school and how it works.

School bus or walking?

One of the biggest changes when starting secondary school is that your child may need to catch a bus. If this is the case make sure that you are both well aware of the bus’ timetable; what time it picks up, what time it drops off and where from - and don’t forget to apply for your child’s bus pass in plenty of time.

If your child is walking to school, do they know the quickest and safest route? How long it will take to get there (bearing in mind that most secondary schools expect pupils to be in by 8.30am)? Whether catching a bus or walking it could be an idea to find out if there is another child nearby who will be doing the same journey, the first day will be much less scary if they have a friend to travel with.

Mobile phones Now is the time to consider buying your child their first mobile phone. They’re heading out into the world and they may need it. Whether you go for a basic model or the latest iPhone is up to you, but make sure they understand that it’s a privilege to have a mobile, and to use it responsibly.

It’s also important that they find out and respect the school’s policy on phones, or else they risk it being put away in the headteacher’s office.

The school uniform minefield Gone are the days where your child will just wear what you tell them to. At this

Concept_August 15_52-68.indd 59

age children are very sensitive about fitting in, they will want to look exactly like their friends. Don’t force them to pick a coat, bag or pencil case that they don’t like, no matter how practical it is. Let them choose something that reflects their personality (or is deemed ‘cool’ by their peers).

Label everything. Looking after their belongings will now be your child’s sole responsibility - things will be lost.

Be prepared In secondary school the responsibility of knowing what your child is doing and what they need shifts from you to them.

Preparation will be key to a smooth transition. Make sure that you have everything that your child will need well in advance, many schools will send out a list of stationary or textbooks which will be required. Encourage them to pack their bag the night before their first day. This will be a good habit to keep as they will have a different schedule each day, so make sure that they check their timetable each evening and have the equipment that they will need for the next day’s classes.

It would also be a good idea to chat with them about what changes they can expect: • Their days will be far more regimented and they will be expected to follow a timetable.

• They will have different teachers and will likely be in a different class for each subject, this may mean moving from classroom to classroom - often located in different buildings.

• New subjects.

• Homework, this will definitely go up a gear, they’re going to need to make time in the evenings for this.

• Most of all, make sure that they know that they’re not alone. Everyone will be in the same boat, and they won’t be expected to know their way around and how everything works straight away.

remind them that everyone else will be feeling as nervous as they are and encourage them to be brave and offer a friendly smile.

It will also be helpful to warn your child that in these early days of secondary school as everyone is getting used to new routines, classes and people, friendship groups may change and not be as expected.

Letting go

As much as it scares you, you have to start loosening the reins. Your days of organising their play dates and after school clubs are over. You may find that your child wants to pop out with friends or have them pop in, without you being involved at all! They will want to be the ones to decide which clubs they join and what activities they want to do - if any. Set some ground rules, then step back and accept that this is all part of you learning to trust your child now that they are getting older - enjoy watching them relish their independence and grow into confident teenagers.

Making friends Your child may be saying goodbye to some friends from primary school as they go off to different schools, and if they’re moving up with friends, they might be put in different form groups. It can be very scary for children not knowing anyone in their class,
