When the girls have gone to bed and I’ve finished the emails, I then dive onto my phone and can scroll the hours away. Modern life doesn’t give us much time to sit and contemplate, and we often waste what little we have. Connection with God in prayer takes our time too. But like any conversation with a good friend, it leaves us the richer for it. Time is where good relationships start. That’s why CSK is passionate about creating opportunities to help people pray. This month, as a church, we’re joining in with a global prayer movement, ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ (30 May – 9 June). We always have our prayer space available any time that Chimes

Congratulations to the two Parish Councillors who were elected as Ward Councillors in Hampton, who both worked extremely hard to secure their new positions and will continue to do so for the benefit of Hampton.

Fires on Hampton Reserve Yesterday a large fire spread across areas of the Hampton Nature Reserve, one of two large fires to occur within the last week. The fire brigade were called to the scene and seven crews of 30 fireman tackled the blaze. There was no damage to human property, but there was considerable destruction of valuable wildlife habitats. It is thought that the fire was started deliberately by arsonists who have started several fires across the reserve in recent weeks. The recent fire caused considerable damage to large tracts of vegetation, scrub and undergrowth - habitats that reptiles rely on. These form important basking areas, hibernation sites and foraging areas. Valuable native reptile species such as common lizards, slow-worms and adders have been badly affected. Hampton Nature Reserve (also called Orton Pit) is a 300 acre site privately owned by O&H Hampton
and managed by the national charity Froglife. It is home to a wide range of wildlife including great crested newts, slow worms, grass snakes, dragonflies and butterflies. There are over 300 ponds which are rich with invertebrates and a great variety of birds can be seen around the area. We also have a number of mammal visitors, including badgers, deer and water voles. Great crested newts are present in exceptionally high numbers due to the abundance of breeding ponds and excellent terrestrial habitat. Several species of rare stonewort are also present including the protected bearded stonewort. Due to the presence of protected species, the
site is legally protected as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Natura 2000 site. Fires are not the only problem on the reserve. Motor bikes are often illegally brought onto the reserve, damaging valuable habitats for wildlife. The motor bikes churn up breeding ponds for amphibians as well as damaging secluded sites for reptiles. In recent months motor bikes have caused considerable damage to great crested breeding sites, reptile basking banks and hibernacula as well as removing important scrub which provides habitats to a range of species. The motor bikers also
cause wider problems including noise and air pollution. Other illegal activities also occur on the reserve such as camping, dog walking and paintballing, all of which are negative to the site. To ensure that the wildlife is properly protected Hampton Nature Reserve needs to remain undisturbed and we value the cooperation of local people in remaining away from the site. Froglife has a weekly volunteer group who help to manage the site and every year Froglife organises an open day where members of the public can come onto the reserve to experience its unique wildlife and habitats.
If you are interested in finding out more please contact Ross, Froglife’s Conservation Officer at ross.edgar@froglife.org

Even before the daffodils are out, they’re tempting us with lavish displays of patio furniture complemented by a vast array of barbecues, from tin-foil disposables to state-of-the-art jobs that look as though they require a pilot’s licence. Nonetheless, it has to be said that at the merest hint of some decent weather,
the majority of us love nothing more than ‘slinging a shrimp on the barbie’. But if it does rain on your parade, you can always opt for a super-hot grill or griddle pan. One of the secrets to tasty, succulent barbecue fare is a good marinade. Mix the ingredients together in a screw-topped jar and shake well. Place the meat or fish in a bowl, pour over the marinade and ensure
10
everything is thoroughly coated. Cover with cling film and marinate for at least an hour in the fridge (or better still overnight) to allow the flavours to permeate. Char-grilled food needs really good, punchy seasoning, so the following recipes incorporate plenty of herbs and spices. The first is our family favourite – a versatile barbecue marinade that can be used for pretty much anything and everything: 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil 3 tbsp white wine vinegar 2 tbsp soy sauce or gluten-free Tamari 1 tbsp Chinese five-spice powder 2 tbsp tomato ketchup 1 tbsp honey 3-5 garlic cloves, crushed 1 tbsp ginger paste With Chinese five-spice powder and soy sauce in the mix, spare ribs are the obvious candidates, but mushrooms also taste amazing prepared this way. Toss whole mushrooms and chunks of red and yellow pepper in the marinade, then skewer; for vegetarian guests, use Quorn fillets or Haloumi cheese too. If there are any leftovers (doubtful) they taste great eaten cold the next day. Next up is that Portuguese classic, Piri Piri sauce. Piri Piri is another name for the fiery African bird’s-eye chilli which gives the dish its name; you can adjust the amount of chillies according to taste (or use a milder variety), but the spicy heat really brings out the best in char-grilled chicken thighs ... think Nando’s!
5-10 bird’s-eye or other red chillies, chopped 100ml olive oil 50ml red wine vinegar 3-5 garlic cloves, crushed 1 tbsp tomato puree 1 tbsp smoked paprika 1 tbsp dried thyme or oregano (or 3 tbsp fresh) Plenty of freshly milled salt & pepper Gently fry the chopped chillies and garlic in a little of the oil. Add the paprika and stir for 30 seconds. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer for five minutes. Allow to cool, then use as above. The third marinade is ideal for more delicately flavoured food, such as fish, Quorn and tofu, but also chicken or lamb kebabs. Simply mix two parts of olive oil to one part of lemon juice and add salt, black pepper, plenty of crushed garlic and loads of chopped fresh herbs. Tarragon tastes great with fish and chicken, and thyme also adds fragrance without being overpowering. For lamb kebabs, rosemary with bay leaves and a few crushed juniper berries make the perfect choice.
HAPPY BARBECUING!

on property extensions
home comforts
Roger Chiswick
In the current property climate, moving home to another more suited to a family's changing lifestyle is not necessarily the easiest or best decision. Altering or extending the current home might be a better option, and could be a less costly one, taking into account stamp duty and removal costs. After more than 40 years experience of the design and construction of residential, schools, offices, industrial and military projects, throughout UK and Europe, I now feel that I want to be involved with domestic schemes, providing
the best and most economical home environment. I can offer advice on whether the householder’s ideas are feasible, and produce sketches to develop them, before continuing to full construction drawings. These may be for renovations, refurbishments or alterations to the interior of an existing house, or an extension with or without altering the existing interior. Any proposals would be for the most
energy efficient solution, to reduce heating costs to a minimum. Having decided on the solution, an application would be submitted for Planning Permission, Building Regulations approval or Building Notice. If the design falls within the relevant criteria, and can be classed as Permitted Development, planning permission would not be required.

Kuyenda is a travel company based in Peterborough run by Jamie and Claire. They are both keen travellers having been to 42 countries together and living abroad for 7 years. They found that, as a result of their experience, they were often being asked for travel advice from family and friends to help them with their bookings. After so many positive comments on their expertise and advice, they decided to share it with everyone and so began their own travel business. Kuyenda is an independent company and so can offer a wide range of products and tailor these to each customer’s needs. They have partnerships with many of the major holiday companies allowing them to be able to provide UK breaks, short and long-haul packages, cruise and rail holidays as well as completely tailor-made travel. Kuyenda has its own
ATOL licence which means extra protection for their customers. They are part of the Travel Trust Association which gives 100% financial protection on all bookings. Kuyenda are also keen to stress that tailormade does not mean more expensive ‘Our customers are often surprised that they can actually make savings on a tailor-made holiday or simply get more value with added extras. Adding this to our first-hand experiences in many countries allows us to really help our customers find the perfect holiday.’

legally binding
legallybinding MONEY MATTERS Tax-Free Childcare
by Pete Bird, Bird & Co, Certified Public Accountants
Parents are advised to make sure they are aware of the Tax-Free Childcare and how it could reduce their childcare costs Tax-Free Childcare is a government scheme available to working parents, including the self-employed, with children aged 0 to 11. Eligible parents can get up to £2,000 per child per year towards qualifying childcare. For clients with 2 children, it could mean a £4,000 saving per year on the family’s budget. Parents can use it on a wide range of registered childcare, including: • Childminders • Nurseries • Breakfast clubs, after school clubs and holiday clubs.
The scheme replaces Childcare Vouchers, which is now closed to new applicants. The government says Tax-Free Childcare is better than the old system as it is open to both employed and self-employed people, meaning about a million more families qualify for help. It is also paid per child rather than per parent, allowing loneparent households to get the same amount of support. However, the scheme has suffered from technical glitches - including last year when 22,000 payments were not passed onto childcare providers - and the help available has been criticised for adding to parent confusion.
For disabled children, the scheme is available up to the age of 16 with a maximum government contribution of £4,000 per child per year. To check your eligibility please visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk to find out more information and how to apply. If you have any tax or business questions, please email Pete Bird of Bird & Co info@birdandco.ltd and if of general interest, we will publish them here.
Happy holidays? It’s that time of year when families will be looking forward to getting away for a summer break and if you have children, you will no doubt have already booked your destination This piece is not designed to stir up trouble, but rather to provide a cautionary word of warning about potential pitfalls for separated parents with young children who are planning a holiday abroad. It is an often overlooked legal fact that, if you do not have a child arrangements order in force, which clearly the vast majority of separated parents do not, you should in theory always have the express consent of the other parent (if they share parental responsibility, which is usually the case) when you take your children out of the jurisdiction (namely England and Wales).
This is usually not an issue at all between reasonable parents, but occasionally one of the parents, if they are embroiled with the other over contact arrangements, will put their foot down and object to the foreign trip. If this does happen, the remedy is to obtain a specific issue order from the Family Court permitting you to take your children out of the country. A precaution against the other parent withdrawing consent at the last minute, is to have a document of written consent signed up well in advance of the foreign holiday, to produce on request to the authorities.

Teasels by the side of Serpentine Lake
Teazling by hand
Walking by Serpentine Lake the other day I noticed how many teasels there were, left from last summer. These extremely spiky plants were used in days gone by for teasing out wool: to raise the nap. Raising the nap on a fabric is brushing out loose fibres and impurities. It can also refer to the surface texture, which after napping feels softer, as well as trapping air which promotes insulation. The teasel was good for this because it has sharp hook-like ends. The napping process was carried out near the end of the cloth making process An 1839 Victorian magazine called ‘The Saturday Magazine’ described in an article how the teasel was used: ‘In teazling by hand, a number of the prickly heads of the plant are arranged in a small wooden frame, having crossed handles eight or ten inches long; these frames have then somewhat the appearance of curry-combs, and are used by two men, who scrub the face of the cloth.’ Later they fixed about two thousand teasels over a revolving cylinder to mechanise the process: ‘They [the teasels] are brought to the factory in bundles, and are prepared for use by a man and a boy. The boy cuts off part of the stalks with a pair of scissors, and the man fixes the teazles into oblong iron frames, which frames
are afterwards to be fitted to the surfaces of the cylinders.’ These seed heads, which are found everywhere in Hampton, are probably not appreciated as once being essential to the wool trade. The teasel flowers in an interesting way. Around July and August, a ring of tiny purple wild flowers sprout from the middle of the spiny head before widening out towards the top and the bottom. As new flowers bloom the earlier blooms die away. This results in two separate flower belts climbing towards the top and bottom as the flower develops. These flowers attract bees in the summer, with the seed heads attracting birds in the winter: they eat the seeds
found within the spiky head. Goldfinches, of which there are many around Hampton, particularly enjoy these seeds. When John Clare, the nineteenth century poet, had to leave his beloved Helpston, near Peterborough, one of the things he mourned the loss of, was the sight of the teasel:
I miss the heath, its yellow furze Molehills and rabbit tracks that lead Through besom ling and teasel burrs That spread a wilderness indeed

younggazette Our children have been really enjoying the new additions which have been made to the playground this year Probably the most popular, are some fantastic scooters which can also transform into balance bikes for the children. These have now been given their own area of the playground for use, which we have had marked out with roads and junctions to aid the children’s creativity and learning. Indoors, the auditions have just taken place for our end of term production. This year the children in Oak and Elm classes will be performing ‘Bugsy Malone’ for us. It was thrilling to see the confidence of the children as they put themselves forward to be involved, even singing solos in some cases. These songs are already becoming a familiar part of our days, as are terms like ‘hoodlums’ and ‘splurgings’, to say nothing of the Brooklyn accents!

And finally Year 2 were lucky enough to enjoy an assembly from Britten Sinfonia recently. The symphonia, who had a presenter and 5 professional musicians told the story of ‘Professor Astro Cat’ though a concert that lasted 45 minutes. There were lots of interactive elements and excerpts from some of their favourite classical pieces and the children and staff had a wonderful time!
They will be doing their utmost to make you and your child feel welcome, so if you haven’t been to us before please come along, we would love to meet you and your child. We are a stay and play session for Mums, Dad’s, Grandparents or carers with a child from Newborn to Reception age.

We will be utilising some of the outdoor area with the nicer weather so we can have some of our singalongs in the sunshine! We may even try and get more parents to join in with some more dancing to work off the cake or biscuits! The sessions are run by volunteers from KingsGate Community Church.

Sam pictured today
My miracle
recovery
When you meet Sam you would never guess what she has been through as she is bright and funny with a positive outlook on life. Yet, for the last eight years, this ‘warrior’ has battled with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and breast cancer. This is the story of a brave mother of three who refused to let illness take over, how she is now rebuilding her life, her family and a new business and how persistence and a small bottle of oil changed everything ... Since hitting my mid-thirties, my health started to decline. I caught every virus going from my family and I was constantly ill. At thirty-seven, I had a full hysterectomy in the hope that it would help but my health continued to deteriorate. Eventually, I was diagnosed with post viral chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and sleep apnoea. After a lifetime of independence, suddenly just taking a shower used up all of my energy and I spent a large chunk of my days alone, in pain, weak and very depressed. Most of my ‘friends’ abandoned me, I could no longer be a mother to my precious children and my husband became my carer – all because of invisible chronic illness. Life carried on without me and all seemed lost. I grieved for the person I once was. It seemed an eternity was needed to learn how to manage my body’s limitations but I built myself back up to functioning at a very basic level. Eventually, I even managed to get some part-time work although I was never really living. I was just too exhausted.
I was scared. Really scared. Surely this wasn’t the end? After managing to work part-time for three years, my health started to go downhill again. I would arrive home from work and sleep most of my life away while my husband did everything else. Then, I discovered what every woman dreads – a large lump in my breast. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and was about to embark upon a journey that was my hardest yet. My pain was for my children and my husband who embarked anxiously on yet another torrid journey of illness, but this time I was scared. Really scared. Surely this wasn’t the end? After twelve long months of chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy, I was cancer-free but exhausted from the side effects of treatment and the demands of life. Just as we were coming out of the woods a very dear loved one passed away. We were devastated. My husband was needed elsewhere, supporting others with greater needs than mine. It was my turn to do the caring. I was desperate and knew I couldn’t cope

so decided it was time to try something I had been looking into for a number of years - CBD oil. Yes, it’s popular now but 8 years ago no-one had really heard of it… but I had.
“At one point I thought that my time was up…” During my illness years, I’d had time to spend researching alternative health solutions. There are lots of interesting theories on the internet and some of them are bonkers, however, one I came across was CBD; a natural remedy with glowing recommendations. Could it be true? Was it safe? How reliable are these sellers? What was in this little bottle of oil? I bought some from a company that had full lab reports, was organic and reputable. Within a week of taking just a few drops of oil per day I was a totally different person. I was running errands, spending time with my children, cooking dinner and sleeping better with no pain. My energy returned and my depression disappeared. This may sound extreme but I promise you it’s true. If someone had said to me three years ago that I would be launching a new business, home-schooling one of my children and flying round the country meeting up with business people, I would have thought they were out of their minds – but this is me now! Sometimes I have to remind myself that even with CBD oil I still can’t do what I did in my twenties but it’s a great feeling to know you can live life again! With such a strong passion and belief in CBD and hemp, I have launched by own business, Hapi Hemp. I want to educate and help people, and tell the world what a wonderful natural product this is! The biggest buzz I get from my job is the feedback I receive. A local lady Mary contacted me a few weeks ago and said that Hapi Hemp saved her life. CBD oil has risen in popularity in the last year with its increased availability across the UK.

What is CBD? The full term is Cannabidoil (CBD) is a Phytocannabidoid and is one of the most prevalent chemical compounds found in industrial hemp. It can help in supporting overall well being and is non psychoactive so wont make you high. One of the main things that prevents many people from trying CBD is that they mistakenly think that it’s the same as using recreational drugs. It is not.
Does CBD work? Millions of people worldwide think so! Research and testimonials have shown that CBD oil has had success in the following areas: Reducing the side effects
of cancer treatment
Increasing energy levels Protecting the nervous system Reducing anxiety
and depression
Having a positive impact
in reducing fatigue
Aiding digestion Helping with the side effects
of cancer treatment.
CBD is NOT A PSYCHOACTIVE! It can actually help in regulating a general feeling of balance and wellness.
Is CBD legal? CBD is completely legal but make sure you buy a brand where lab reports are visible and they are members of the Cannabis Trades Association UK. Hapi Hemp adheres to both. For more info please visit the FB and Insta and website. E: info@hapihemp.co.uk

e h t e s o Cho perfect sunglasses By Sarah Davey
It’s that time of year when we traditionally invest in a new pair of sunglasses for the summer. There’s so much choice though! How do you whittle it down to the perfect pair? First choose the right colour frame. Warm browns and tortoiseshell suits warmer colouring. Cool greys, blues and blacks suit cool skin colouring or grey hair. Next pick a pair that flatters your features. There are no hard and fast rules. Look at what your face lacks and use the sunglasses to even out your proportions. Rounder faces often lack definition and benefit from a sunspec with strong lines. Long thin faces might need a softer, rounder style with an upswept edge. Try on as many as you can. Take selfies and compare. Add length to a short nose with a high bridge or shorten an overly long nose with a low (butterfly shape) bridge. A strong jaw can be balanced with a heavier top bar. Sunspecs are all about protecting your eyes from UV so make sure that any pair you buy has a CE kite mark, and that sunglasses are marked UV400. Cheap sunspecs not bearing these marks will probably not provide adequate protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Choose larger frames for protection but bear in mind that deeper the frame the
Carbon facial
shorter your face will look, so if you have a long face shape, go ahead and choose deep frame. A shorter face needs a frame that's less deep, while still providing enough coverage for UV protection. Take your eyebrows into account! If your brows stick out of the top of the frame at an odd angle, you'll look permanently surprised, or angry! Choose your sunnies wisely and you'll be able to add instant glamour to any outfit.

By Tom Hancock
What are the best headphones for running? So what factors are important when choosing headphones for running?
or round the back of the neck, even if they no longer need to be connected to a phone jack.
Water resistance – If you run outside this is obviously important, but many of us forget that sweat is water and if you’re running, indoors or out you will sweat, and eventually this will kill your headphones.
Sound Quality – This is possibly the least important feature for sports use. Mostly runners want to feel the beat and be motivated by their pumped-up playlist, while blocking out external noise. Sports headphones are not about being able to pick out the subtle nuances in a Chopin piano concerto. They need to be reasonable sound quality and be able to cope with a bit of bass.
Fit – There are headphones which wrap tightly around your head, or over and around your ears. But the best types of running headphones are probably true wireless, or lightweight Bluetooth. They are ‘in-ear’ designs with tips that fit into the ear and additional, curved, tapered 'hooks' that sit under the crater of cartilage just above the earhole, known as the anti-helix. When you’re running little things like a cable rubbing the back of your neck can feel irritating. Also, although the battery life can be irritatingly short with true wireless headphones if you use them as your main set, it’s more than long enough for even the most enthusiastic runner. Wireless and ‘true wireless’ headphones are different. ‘True wireless’ headphones completely lack a cable or connector between the earpieces. Wireless headphones are still connected in some way, either over the head
Ambient Sound – Some headphones are designed to let in ambient sound with good reason: situational awareness is important if you run on your own and you want to be aware of traffic or of someone approaching you. This feature is less important if you prefer to run in a gym and want to block out the world. Running is such a great activity, and the right music will add to the experience, so pick up some headphones today and in the words of the classic from Spencer Davis Group which features on my own playlist... keep on running.

So, the milder weather is finally here, and your garden or home exterior could do with a spring clean of its own If the effects of winter have taken their toll on your garden, property or driveway, you may be thinking about calling in the experts to inject a little life back into the space at the rear or front of the house or the exterior itself. But whatever the job – big or small – don’t be tempted to give the work to someone who cold calls you at your home, claiming to be ‘carrying out similar work in the area’; any offer which appears too good to be true often is. Equally, be wary when it comes to leaflets dropping through your door; some may not be all they seem. We know that there are many genuine companies who deliver leaflets, but for the many legitimate ones; there are also fraudulent ones. If you have internet access, carry out as much research on the company as you can. Safe Local Trades is a supporter of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Against Scams Partnership (CAPASP), which includes Cambridgeshire Constabulary, Police and Crime
Remember:
Circle Don’t be talked into something on the spur of the moment Circle Don’t take their word for it when they tell you urgent work or repairs need doing Circle Do ask them to qualify who they are and to leave you a contact number Circle Never hand over any cash as a deposit for work which they say they will return to carry out Circle Feel free to ask to see their credentials and/or examples of their work Circle Always ask them politely to leave if you feel uncomfortable with their approach
