Contributors Ivor Hughes vicTORIA kulczycka Dawn Kilner Eric Wells Hello and welcome to this month’s edition of Covered.

It’s HOT, HOT, HOT as I sit here and write this. Too hot, some might say. Some, but not me – without this glorious weather many of the events and activities we’ve had the pleasure of visiting recently wouldn’t have been so well attended. Take a look through our Diary Dates for details of upcoming activities over the next couple of months. If you’re stuck for something to do with the kids this summer, check out our Health & Wellbeing section for some inspiration - you’ll find plenty to do in and around the city.

Our inaugural Fashion, Hair and Beauty feature went down a storm last month – thanks for all your positive comments. See this month’s FHAB for more tips and for our feature on Leeds based James Seward, designer to the stars!

The summer months present all sorts of opportunities for thieves as we’re more likely to leave doors and windows open. I should know, only this morning some toe-rag has cleared all the loose change out of a drawer in my car (about £2.78). My fault entirely, I shouldn’t have left the window down and should have taken the advice put forth in our Property Matters section this month. As the feature explains ‘It only takes a minute’.

I hope you enjoy this month’s edition – packed with plenty of unique, hyper-local news, views and features as usual. If you want free and favourable publicity for your event or activity, let us know – we’re proud to support the community!

Editorial and advertising deadline for the next edition is: 02/08/13 Until next month,

The Fleece at Otley The Fleece at Otley may look like your average unassuming pub from the roadside, but this little gem has many hidden depths, which are definitely worth closer inspection.

Owned by nearby, award winning Wharfebank Brewery since 2011, The Fleece was re-invented as a good example of what today's gastro-pub should offer, fine dining and an excellent selection of drinks in a comfortable, yet stylish environment. The design and layout of the main bar area works well around two seasonal feature points, a central roaring fireplace for winter time and a sliding glass wall, which opens in summertime to offer better views over the River Wharfe below. And, if you fancy a closer look at the river, then lunch on the terraced beer garden could well be for you. With a light, summery menu designed especially for this tranquil, little suntrap, it's very easy to wile away the hours whilst enjoying a few pints of Wharfebank's finest.

the Goat's Cheese Most popular dishes include Onion Bruschetta and Red

Head chef, Simon Miller, has obvious flair and love of creativity. Having trained at The Box Tree in Ilkley, known for it’s connection with Marco Pierre White, Simon then went on to the renowned Antony's Leeds, before bringing his enthusiastic and fresh approach to The Fleece. Not shy to experiment, he recently teamed up with Vanilli’s Harrogate to produce a Wharfebank Stout sorbet, which compliments the seasonal dishes on offer here. Pretty much everything is prepared onsite by the team, from the chocolate and almond brownies to the handmade chips, and all of the sauces which help to bring the flavours alive. Most popular dishes include the Goat's Cheese and Red Onion Bruschetta

as a starter, whilst the rump steak with blue cheese butter is always a popular main. All products are sourced locally, where good quality is available, and the Texcel lamb has been chosen from Waterford House Farm because of the consistent quality and flavour. And if you're uncertain which beer or wine will best compliment your food, then Bar Manager, Oliver Renton, is on hand to help out. Oli also brings a wealth of experience, having managed his familyowned bars before going on to work at Wharfebank Brewery to expand his knowledge of cask ales and the brewing process, then taking up his role at The Fleece. Oli’s a man who likes to get involved and when we arrived he was tending the impressive flower baskets, which he proudly informed us he’d planted himself.

If it all sounds a little too decadent and expensive for a mid-week treat, then you'd be wrong. Whilst the varied menus and dishes are carefully prepared and presented, they are also affordable. And whilst the decor is stylish, with a good mix of old and new, the main emphasis is on comfort, even extending to the 'tap room', which really isn't any less inviting than the rest of the pub, but does welcome walkers

Ingredients: Buy Local We’re used to finding ingredients on the supermarket shelves all year round but out of season produce is likely to have travelled miles - often thousands of miles. Asparagus, for example, is wonderful stuff when it’s grown, picked and served in Yorkshire. The out of season supermarket varieties that travel from as far away as Peru are dire in comparison. Any restaurant worth its salt will base its menu on the current seasons offerings so follow suit – buy local and

buy seasonal. Over the next few weeks you’ll find that broad beans, cherries, cucumber, cos lettuce, raspberries, plums, radishes, strawberries and watercress are all at their best. Duck is in season and grouse are (pardon the pun) fair game from the 12th of August too.

Pop along to your local farm shop or farmers’ market. You’ll find the produce will have traveled less and will taste all the better for it. What’s more, you’ll get plenty of genuine good service, value and advice from independent traders who have a passion for produce, not for profit.

Abbey Inn Beer Festival – Scorchio!

Some pessimists - or realists if you like - might have thought that summer was all over following the sunshine that had blessed Horsforth Gala and all seasonal outdoor events during the preceding weekend. But no. During the first weekend in July north Leeds was basking in bright sunshine in the mid-eighties (in old money). Perhaps the only people not best pleased at Abbey Inn’s annual summer festival were some of the live music acts in the marquee – everyone else under the same canvas, notably the bar staff, were able to take breaks as and when.

Covered magazine always enjoys supporting Abbey Inn events, be they real ale festivals or other themed events. Though the real ale festivals are, arguably cases of gilding the lily – Abbey Inn is never short of its own wide range of the stuff and is considered by CAMRA to be a jewel in Leeds’ real ale crown.

Covered was also delighted to say hello to Abbey’s new landlord, Andy Cazaux (in the pic feeding a friend a sausage); “So far so good. The festival has been great exposure for Abbey Inn – and, for that matter, the sixty real ales, twenty ciders and numerous other specialist lager and fruit beers we’re carrying this weekend. Our next themed weekend is in September – a hoedown with country and western music and all the trimmings.”

On Yer Bike!

Leeds Mountain Bikers, founded in 2008 and originally centred in Pudsey, meet on most Saturday mornings for runs of differing ability and all around 30k (18 miles in old money). And, uniquely, they appear to be the only sporting and social group in the area that conducts membership and scheduling entirely via social media – predominantly on meetup.com So it was entirely by luck and poor judgment that our photographer came across them one Saturday in May. He was on his way to a training session with Leeds United and Horsforth St Margaret’s and had gone to the wrong Calverley Lane – well, there are three. The group was about to set off on a route including Calverley Bridge, Esholt and Rodley – rated as a beginner’s route unless the terrain was wet. And wet it was.

If you are web literate then it’s easy to sign up with Leeds-Mountain Bikers at meetup.com Those of

Some of North Leeds Mountain Bike Club setting off on a round trip from Calverley, taking in Esholt, on a 30k run.

differing biking ability can then choose a Saturday when they’d like to join in. Recent rides have included Yeadon, Guiseley, Chevin Forest Park and Horsforth. For the rest of July and August, LMB meetings are further afield. The next ride in the Leeds area is on 7 September – the Meanwood Valley trail, taking in Adel Woods.

Assembly is usually at 9.45 for a 10.00 start. LMB requires all riders to be properly dressed and equipped and takes a fee of £1 from each rider.

NEW MUSIC CENTRE ““I’m thrilled that YMES is launching Pudsey Music Centre FOR PUDSEY this September. Pudsey and Taking place at Pudsey Waterloo Primary School on Saturday mornings during term time, the centre will offer a wide range of music classes to the local community. An extensive programme will include instrument classes for beginners, an orchestra, and a ‘Pop & Rock Academy’ for teenagers. In addition, special strands of classes for adults and for preschool children will make the centre somewhere the whole family can enjoy making music together.

The centre will open for the first time on Saturday 14 September with a ‘Meet the Music Makers’ event – a special YMES open day where the public is invited to meet the teachers, try out some instruments, and enrol for classes (which then commence 21 September).

the surrounding West Leeds / East Bradford Corridor has historically been under-served for Saturday morning musicmaking activities, and this new community venture will offer an array of musical opportunities for local people”.

- David Major Director of YMES

“

YMES – Yorkshire Music Education Service has announced the launch of Pudsey Music Centre, a brand new hub for Saturday morning music-making.

The centre will be the third in a network of YMES centres across Leeds, following the launch of Chevin Music Centre in 2006 and Chapel Allerton Music Centre in 2011.

Southroyd Summer Fair Southroyd Primary & Nursery School, Pudsey, held their annual summer fair on Sunday 7 July. It was the third time that the school had taken the effort to publicise the event outside the parent and pupil community and to attract a wider range of interest.

They succeeded – the day featured numerous stalls, attractions and competitions including a police video van, Ronnie the Rhino, Maypole dancing, archery, wellie-wanging, face and henna body painting and the ever popular throwing wet sponges at teachers. The fair has become such a success that a school governor from Morley had visited with the express purpose of seeing what parts of Southroyd’s efforts might be used as templates for their own event.

Stuart Andrew mp At the moment one of the most pressing concerns which urgently needs addressing in our area is the worrying lack of school places available for local children. I have been approached on numerous occasions at my surgery meetings in Calverley and Pudsey by anxious parents who are concerned that their children will not be allocated spaces at nearby schools. With a growing population in my constituency as a result of the increase of housing developments in the area and plans to build even more over the next decade, there is a desperate need to address this issue as the current system is just not sustainable.

We have seen changes at Newlaithes and Featherbank schools in Horsforth to try to address the issue and most recently Leeds City Council has launched a public consultation, which ends on July 12th, of their plans to expand Guiseley Infant and Nursery School by increasing pupil capacity from September 2015. Also included in these proposals is a plan that the Infant School would take children up to the age of 11, as opposed to the current age of seven.

I recently attended a meeting with worried parents who are against the proposals and heard their very valid concerns which I fully empathise with. I, along with the Guiseley councilors, have jointly written to Leeds City Council asking that a new school is built in Guiseley. Extra school places are desperately needed but the current council proposals are not the answer especially considering that a huge amount of disruption that will be caused to pupils and staff in order to provide an extra 30 places a year which is simply not enough considering the extra houses are expected to be built in and around the Guiseley area over the next decade. We need an option that works for the community which is why building a new school is the best and only feasible option.

Environment patrol officer Tony Murphy (far left), dog warden Abi Sandham (second from right) and Councillor Mark Dobson (far right) met Mark Morris and his dog Sage on a recent visit to Nunroyd Park to highlight the importance of picking up after your dog.

PICK UP OR PAY UP Leeds City Council continue their new, firmer approach to dog fouling enforcement with frequent patrols by the council’s team of enforcement officers and officers from specialist environmental firm 3gs, who continue to target parts of West and North Leeds.

The patrols act as a reminder to the public to clean up after their dogs and to put their litter in bins provided. Officers on patrol will issue a £75 penalty to anyone caught dropping rubbish or failing to pick up after their dog.

Despite numerous dog waste bins and general litter bins – bagged dog waste can go in any council bin - dog fouling is still a city wide issue that people are increasingly fed up with and the council hopes that by encouraging more responsible behaviour, this will help to tackle the annual £8 million bill for street cleaning.

Councillor Mark Dobson, Leeds City’s Council’s executive member for the environment, said: “We hope that members of the public will understand and support our decision for giving out these £75 penalties. If they do the right thing, putting litter in the bin and picking up their dog’s mess, then they do not need to worry as this will not affect them.

“The public will hopefully be pleased that we are taking stronger actions against those that do litter or fail to clean up after their dogs and lead to the complaints regarding the city’s cleanliness.

“With the co-operation of residents, visitors and businesses, we hope to see a great improvement throughout Leeds with high standards of cleanliness.”

16 Property Matters

CENSUS UNVEILS BIGGEST SURGE IN RENTING FOR A CENTURY Newly-released figures from the latest census have this month revealed the true scale of the shift from home ownership to renting among the English population.

The number of private tenants has doubled between 2001 and 2011 – while the proportion who owns a home has fallen sharply. Figures from the Office of National Statistics show that as many as one-in-five households in England – that’s around 1.2 million – was renting privately on Census Day in 2011.

The number of families who owned their own home has plummeted by 13 per cent since the last survey a decade earlier. In some parts of the country, the number of renters in the community has now overtaken the number of homeowners. We have not witnessed such a big surge in the popularity of renting since 1918, when a dusting down of the history books reveals that as much as 77 per cent of property was let privately.

With Leeds among the top five rental destinations in England, these new figures mark a seachange in the

way we now choose to live our lives – but, crucially, also highlight the need for a greater regulation of letting agents. This will help prevent less scrupulous agents from taking advantage of the unprecedented level of consumer demand – and leave many trusting clients out-of-pocket never to see their money again.

Standards, quite rightly, will come under the public, press and political spotlight like never before. Renting should be a positive experience for both landlord and tenant alike.

So, whether you are a landlord or a tenant, it’s more important than ever to go through an accredited agent.

They are best placed to guide you through the complex rental process and accompanying legislation – as well as being able to offer complete peace of mind.

Look out for agents who are members of ARLA for ultimate reassurance – they must adhere to a strict code of conduct as well as offering client money protection and redress schemes, which can protect you if things go wrong. The SAFEagent kitemark will also help you identify them.

editor’s note Thanks to Paul Mitchell, Branch Manager, Linley & Simpson. Station Road, Horsforth.

We urgently require...

2, 3 and 4 bed houses £700 to £1000 pcm.

Whether you’re an experienced landlord, new to lettings or looking to buy an investment property, we can offer a variety of services to help make letting easy.

Don’t just take our word for it, see what some of our current landlords are saying…

“We value the fact that they have a very acute understanding of the demands of the letting market in each of the areas in which they operate”

“Linley and Simpson epitomise professionalism.

I have always found them to be extremely helpful and polite” Mr G, Wakefield

18 Property Matters

It Only Takes A Minute This month we take a look at Home Security so who better to ask for advice on securing your home (other than a burglar!) than the guys who often deal with the aftermath – West Yorkshire Police. Here they give us their tips for deterring intruders.

Burglary remains a major priority for the Force and West Yorkshire Police continue with their ‘It Only Takes a Minute’ campaign to encourage people to think about home security and ‘lock up or lose out!’. The campaign is titled ‘It Only Takes a Minute’ as it only takes a minute to lock your doors and windows … but it's also the same amount of time that it could take a burglar to enter your house and steal your belongings. Food for thought.

In most cases, the offenders who commit burglary are opportunists. They see an open door or window and they take their chance. Believe it or not, nearly half of all burglaries are committed through an open door or window. Reduce the risk of burglary by taking some simple precautions:

•

Most burglaries happen when a property is empty. Look like you’re in, even when you're out: light up your home and fit low energy bulbs, using timer switches to turn them on when you are out - thieves don't like being seen.

•

Improve the security of doors - exterior doors front and back should be in good condition, fit well and the frames securely fixed to the masonry. Consider installing bolts at the top and bottom of the exterior door, and perhaps a door viewer and door chain on the main door.

20 Property Matters

•

Improve the security of windows - fit all ground floor and any other accessible windows with key operated window locks - remember to remove keys from locked windows and keep them out of sight.

•

Sheds and garages contain tools to help break into your home - don’t leave them unlocked.

•

Dispose of packaging for expensive items; don’t advertise what’s in your house.

•

Register your property on www.immobilise. com - a FREE property register, so that if your property is stolen and recovered by the Police, it can be returned to you.

•

Download free tracking software onto mobile phones and laptops.

•

Keep doors and windows locked, even when you are in. Try to change your habit if you don’t lock your door behind you.

•

Door chimes and burglar alarms will deter a burglar.

•

Never leave spare keys in a convenient hiding place, like under the door mat or in a flower pot - a thief will look there first.

•

It only takes a minute to hide valuables out of view - do not tempt the thief.

Consider looking at your home through burglars eyes …what could you improve?

•

Keep doors and windows locked even when in the garden.

•

Don’t leave garden tools outside, as they can be used by burglars.

There are many reputable local businesses featured in Covered who may offer free advice and quotations for upgrading windows, doors, locks and security in general. If you’re in doubt about the security of your home then call in a professional to take a look.

Thanks for my lovely home - now tuck in!

David and Christine Chapman were so pleased with their new Bellway home that Christine baked the site staff a cheesecake to thank them.

“We had really out grown our old house and wanted somewhere with more room,” said Christine an enterprising chef. “I have always wanted to live in a detached property and we took advantage of Bellway’s part exchange scheme to move”.

“Bellway offered us a really good deal and by using their part exchange service we did not have to employ an estate agent which saved us a few thousand pounds, plus we could relax in the knowledge that we had a guaranteed buyer for our old home and we had secured our new home,” confirmed David.

Fashion, Hair And Beauty

Shimmer In Summer can be an awkward time for us Brits. Do we dress up or tone it down? And if we tone it down, how many of us can pull off hippy chic or boho babe as easy as Sienna Miller and Kate Moss without looking like a we've lost our blusher and forgotten how to take a shower?

Here are Covered's 5 top tips for achieving a hot but natural look over the Hot Summer months.

1

Add Shimmer to Eyes

If you do go with the shimmery eye, don't go overboard with the shimmer. Apply shimmer to no more than 2 places. For example, shimmer your eyelids and your cheekbones but don't also add a batch of shimmer to your dĂŠcolletage, nobody likes a walking disco ball.

2

Highlighter Should Be Your Best Friend

Highlighting pens should be a staple of any girls make up bag.

Here's how to apply: Put your chin to your chest and look into a mirror. Swipe a line of highlighter on the shadows, usually under the eye, along the nose and under the chin. Also apply a line above each brow, which will give the illusion of pulling your face up. Blend the lines in by dabbing with your middle finger.

Fashion, Hair And Beauty

nto Summer!

3

Mouth or the Eyes?

When choosing holiday makeup, decide if you're going to play up your eyes or your mouth. If you emphasize both, you'll risk looking like a clown. If you use a bright red lip, keep the face light and use only mascara and a light shadow on lids. Don't go overboard with bronzer, smokey eyes and blush.

If you opt for a dark, smokey eye, lighten up lips with a light, sheer lipstick.

4

Groucho Marx a no-no...

You can have perfect makeup, but if your eyebrows are a mess, you'll look unfinished. A couple days before your holiday, get your brows waxed, threaded or tweezed. Keep them in place by spraying a bit of hairspray on your finger and running them over the brow or opt for a brow gel based product.

5

Oily Skin?

Carry Oil Blotting Papers, Not Powder.

Apply powder before you head out to set make-up, but don't keep applying it during the night, it ends up caking up and looking mask-like. Blotting Papers are the oily girl's best friend. Press a paper to the oily spots and watch as the paper soaks up oil without messing your make-up. Keep the papers in your purse for touch ups as the night goes on.

As always, if in doubt then bob into an independent local salon for good advice and the best in beauty treatment.

24 Fashion, Hair And Beauty

Farsley’s Designer to the Stars In the last issue of Covered we featured milliner Beth Hirst’s display of hats, found adjacent to the fashion show at Wetherby Racecourse Ladies’ Evening. Beth mentioned at the time that she shares a Farsley studio with dressmaker James Steward. We had to go and take a look – and found far more than anticipated.

Thirteen years ago James, originally from Hull, moved to Leeds to set up the popular boutique 'Aqua Couture' in the city centre. His credentials were impeccable. He had graduated with a degree in fashion design and trained at a top Italian couture house located in the heart of Rome. He quickly made a name for himself creating one-off pieces for the Leeds fashionistas . Word spread beyond Leeds at national and then international level. James’ celeb fan list rapidly grew to include fashion icons such as the Spice Girls and Kylie Minogue.

Having decided that his passion lay in the bespoke side of his business, rather than off-the-peg retail, James parted ways with Aqua Couture to concentrate on his own made to measure couture.

That was soon to include a successful range of bridal wear, quite unlike anything that can be bought from boutiques. James received acclaim not only from his clientèle. For two years running, James Steward Couture was voted "Yorkshire Brides Couture Designer of the Year" and "Leeds Independent Designer of the Year".

Nowadays, the only seasonal ranges James releases are at winter time, the core of his business being weddings – not just for the bride, but also for the bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom.

Which makes perfect sense – things matching where they should and not clashing where they shouldn’t.

James Steward surrounded by some of his creations – photographed at Kirkstall Abbey by Lady D Photography

James also receives regular commissions for television programmes, TV and other media advertisements and red carpet events – his one-off creations are regularly seen at events such as the National Television Awards, British Soap Awards, Baftas and Oliviers.

James Steward Couture’s studio, shared with milliner Beth Hirst, is in an atmospheric and beautifully naturally lit Victorian mill building - Unit 20B at Cape Hill Industrial Estate, Coal Hill Road, Farsley (by appointment). He is on Facebook, his well illustrated website is jamessteward.co.uk and his telephone number 07979 961906.

Keeping the Kids Active This Summer Proposals have just been put forward to allow schools to set their own holidays, meaning the potential end of the six week break. For now though how are you going to keep the family active this summer without break ing the bank?

Thankfully in Leeds there’s plenty going on. Here are some ideas to suit all budgets and tastes.

1

Breeze Festivals

If you’ve never been the Breeze Festivals run

by Leeds City Council have an excellent range of activities geared to everyone from 0-19 years, including a portable climbing wall, dance competitions, mini go-karts, craft tents, live music and more. What’s more the festivals are totally free. All you need to do is bring a Breezecard or if you haven’t got one sign up on the day. Breeze on Tour is at Roundhay Park on 7th & 8th August or Kirkstall Abbey on 14th & 15th August.

2

Rodley Nature Reserve

For a quieter day out, Rodley Nature Reserve is a bit of a hidden gem. The Wetlands Reserve has been created on a floodplain in Kirkstall Valley.

The reserve is home to wildfowl and waders on migration and younger children will enjoy pond dipping and exploring. Entry is free whilst there is an opportunity to book on to night time bat walks with an expert. The reserve can be found via a brown sign over a swing bridge leading over the canal from Rodley Town Street.

Summer Sports Camps

No longer do school, college and University facilities sit empty across the summer, instead playing host to range of sports camps run by qualified coaches.

Prices can start from as little as £12 per day at Trinity Fitness for their multi-sports Holiday Sports Camps, £48 for a 4 days at one of the many Leeds United holiday courses or £57.50 on a WR Active Learning course.

4

Family Skating Session

For something a bit different take the family roller skating. SK8 Leeds Academy offer family sessions on a weekend with lessons for those a bit wobbly on their feet whether it be for toddlers or adults. When they or you are ready there’s even a chance to get retro with a roller disco.

5

Chevin Forest Park

Finally another free activity, if you can resist the Yorkshire Dales ice cream van in the car park, is to take the family on the Chevin. The Bridleways

provide opportunities for walking or mountain biking, whilst Surprise View offers views all the way to York on a clear day. Can’t persuade the children to go for a family walk? Then tell them if they go they’ll get to see an elephant in the woods (one of eight timber sculptures on the Heritage Time Trail).

The June drop for apples, pears and plums, where the tree sheds excess fruit, has been delayed this year. Later this month remove any fruits which are This is a wonderful time of year, as all the plant, still congested on the tree, to allow a reasonable shrubs and trees in the garden are flowering and space between each one, to allow them to ripen to the salads and vegetables are looking good. So a good size. how to keep it this way?

In the first instance, dead head all your roses and other flowering plants as the flowers fade – which will stimulate them to grow a second flush of colour.

Then give them a second feed of a balanced fertilizer, to stimulate them even more – including your bedding plants and hanging baskets. Wallflowers and other biannual flower seeds should be sown now, as they will grow into small plants this year, then grow into larger plants and flower next year This is a good time to take cuttings of semi ripe wood from all you favourite perennials, to increase your stock or to use as swops with friends. Use non flowering shoots from this years growth, three to four inches in length inserted into a pot, with a plastic bag over the top to keep them from drying out or place in a propagator.

Potato and tomato blight may appear anytime during this month, which means cutting leaves off the moment it appears; alternatively, start a spraying regime every two weeks to make sure your crops are

Pets Need Holidays Too

Top Tips: 1

If you’re planning a break away you’ll have a long checklist to get through. Passports, tickets, currency, travel insurance and sun cream will all be high on the list. What about your beloved family friends of the four legged variety? It’s best to put them top of your list and make arrangements sooner rather than later.

To help your pet settle in, take bedding and

2 toys that will remind the animal of home.

If your pet is undergoing any routine

3 treatment make sure you’ve got plenty of supplies in to leave with them.

Elaine Scrompf of The Dog House, Leeds gives us advice about making sure your pets get a good break too.

“At the Dog House we look after family pets in our homes. Our team holds all the relevant licenses from leeds City Council - you should ensure that anyone you entrust with your pet holds a Home Boarding License and that they are fully insured. A huge love of pets is a good indicator of how your pet will be cared for too! Before you embark on your holiday, the Dog House invites owners and their pets to visit so you can see how settled and happy your pets are and then you can enjoy your own holiday, guilt free.”

A huge love of pets is a good indicator of how your pet will be cared for too!

Check your pet’s vaccination schedule is up to date to prevent infection being spread.

Most reputable kennels, catteries or sitters will not accept dogs without up to date jabs.

4

Make sure that the company or person caring for your pet whilst you’re away has the contact details for your usual vet – care records may be invaluable in the unlikely event of a crisis.

5

Ensure that the pet’s regular food is in plentiful supply – by keeping things as routine as possible you will reduce the amount of stress placed on the flat.

6

Don’t worry! If you choose the right place for your pet then you should be able to enjoy your holiday and your pet will also enjoy theirs. Animals will pick up on your stress so if you show that you’re not worried, they’re less likely to be too.

The Dog House is a family business, operated since 2004 and they also offer an excellent professional dog walking service. All walkers are fully insured, police checked and are very experienced at looking after precious pets. If your day is filled with meetings at work and rushing around with the kids, then you should take steps to ensure that your hound gets the exercise he needs – a dog walker would do just that.

Combat Fleas, Ticks, Mites and Flystrike

Tel: 0113 2573355

Visit Us to See Our Large Selection of Feeds, Toys, Treats & Healthcare

Time outdoors in hot weather increases the likelihood of getting these. To combat give animals a suitable product regularly to reduce their risk, keep their sleeping and eating areas clean and check daily for any signs of infection.

Increase Water and Shade and Do Not Over Exercise

If possible on hot days keep animals indoors or make sure they have plenty of shade and water if they have to stay outside. Keep f ish tanks and bird/small animal cages out of direct sunlight. Remember conser vatories can also heat up quickly.

When walking your dog take a portable water bowl and don’t over exercise. Dogs will collapse before giving up, at which point it may be too late.

Signs of overheating include increased panting/ breathing, listlessness and drooling.

Stop Skin Problems including Sunburn

Pets with fine/light coloured hair may need petsafe sunblock, particularly to noses and ears to stop them burning. Be careful of hot surfaces like pavements and sand as pets can burn their paws.

Hair can be trimmed but no shorter than one inch to keep sun protection and groom frequently.

Leeds Author’s New Series Enhanced, the first entry in the new series “The Aescar Chronicles” follows the story of Alexander Howell, a young man who joins the army to provide for his family and create a better life for his beloved Jessica. The exciting adventure thriller unfolds in the fictional nation of Aescar, where a war with neighbouring Darien that has lasted a generation and a huge spike in population growth threatens already overstretched food supplies. The State, Aescar’s seemingly benevolent totalitarian rulers, have taken charge of food distribution, utilities, manufacturing and many other aspects of everyday life for the sake of the war effort.

Aescar’s burgeoning population is divided into two distinct social tiers, the Citizens, who enjoy most of the freedoms of any normal society and the happily oppressed Churls, who must apply for government permission to marry, breed and own property. As the son of Churl parents, one of the few ways for Alexander to become a Citizen is to serve in the armed forces.

But joining the Aescaran army comes with a price, or as The State would tell it, a gift. The higher brain functions of every soldier are chemically suppressed and replaced by a synaptic transceiver which connects them to a single, central mind operated by the mysterious and enigmatic Controllers. In this way, a soldier will never experience pain or fear and crucially, will never refuse an order.

However, when Alexander is accidentally set free of his Enhancement, he is unwillingly recruited into the AFA, a fledgling rebellion against The State. He is forced to accompany Blue Six, the rebel militia’s ragtag elite, who fear and despise him in equal measure as they encounter starving bandits, abandoned cities, the unflinching Enhanced soldiers of The State and a secret that will break apart their entire understanding of the world around them.

Enhanced is the creation of Chris Tasker, an author born and bred in Bramley, Leeds. Chris has been fascinated by storytelling for all of his twenty eight years and spent much of his childhood scribbling down stories and ideas as they came into his head.

A product of Intake High School and later Leeds Met University, Chris’ main passion at school was history, particularly Russia in the 1920s. His biggest influences as an author are Bernard Cornwell and

C.S. Forester. Chris is a very proud Yorkshireman, much of his inspiration for the fictional Aescar came from growing up in the White Rose County.

Enhanced is available in paperback from Amazon, and as a download for Amazon Kindle, Kobo and Kindle for iPad.

Car Boot Sales – a Greener Way to Fight Austerity Summer is eventually upon us. With it comes a wealth of seasonal car boot sales. Well run car boots provide sellers an opportunity to clear space and raise more than a few pounds in the process.

Greener than consigning the stuff to landfill and more immediate than a card on a supermarket community notice board. For most buyers there is money to be saved. Why commit hundreds of pounds to household goods, toys or baby stuff when some of the items on your shopping list might turn up at a fraction of the new prices? It’s worth taking a look. And some buyers can make a profit by selling on – often online or at another boot or market.

There is a weekly summertime Sunday boot at the crossroads on the Harrogate side of Leeds Bradford Airport and another adjacent to Pannal roundabout.

The ones at Otley Farmers’ and Pudsey Markets are all year round (Otley’s runs from 12 until

Calverley Man Runs For Martin House Three employees of Kirkstall based Digital Plus; a large format printer, recently ran the BUPA Manchester 10k run for local charity, Martin House in Wetherby, managing to raise £400 in the process.

Simon Porter, John Webster and Sarah Chamberlain donned their shorts and running shoes to run the course on one of the hottest days of the year so far – and they all managed to cross the finish line with flying colours.

Martin House cares for children and young people with life threatening illnesses. Events Manager Caroline Hudson accepted the cheque from Calverley resident Simon.

Caroline said of the money raised; “ This is absolutely wonderful news. This money will cover the cost of all our medical equipment for over a week. Our thanks go to Simon, John and Sarah.”

'...Where troubles melt like lemon drops... ...Away above the chimney tops...'

intact making the shop an absolute treasure trove for any fancy dress enthusiast.

If you recognise the headline, then you’ll be pleased to know that Pudsey has it's own mini ‘Oz’ - a fabulous shop with brightly coloured costumes, hats, jewellery, novelty accessories and much, much more, hidden away down one of Pudsey's picturesque residential streets.

Whether you require; novelty glasses, costumes to hire or buy, wigs, tights Woody (Margaret) and Dorothy (Leigh) who got dressed up just for Covered’s visit! and stockings, masks, face paints, hats, shoes, accessories, hen and stag party accessories, childrens’ costumes, birthday cards and helium balloons-there literally is something for everyone- whatever the occasion!

Owned by friends Leigh and Margaret, Over The Rainbow opened its doors over two and a half years ago and in that time has managed to become THE place to go for costume hunters across both Leeds and Bradford!

A carnival of colours and textures, today's shop is very different from its humble beginnings back in 2010 and is well worth a visit just for the visual spectacle of all the costumes! Margaret has always loved sewing, designing and making clothes and was asked by a friend a few years ago to create a Dorothy costume for a fancy dress party. Leigh has long-enjoyed making beautiful bespoke jewellery so they pooled their skills and their great idea was born.

Following a period working from home, they invested in premises – a shop off Robin Lane. Whilst their location changed, their personal service, fabulous skills and above all, their passion for all things fancy dress remained

The talents of Leigh and Margaret don't end there - they still hand-make jewellery and bespoke fascinators to match any outfit, perfect if you are attending a wedding or even if you are mother of the bride! Alterations for clothing are welcome too.

So next time you have an urge to be Woody from Toy Story, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, or indeed any other magical character, go visit Over The Rainbow where dreams really do come true!
