New local business saving YOU time! “Just a few words to give me the opportunity to say “Hi” and how I came to be self employed. A few years ago I found myself working full time with a busy household to run as well as elderly parents who also had an ageing, much loved family pet. Life soon became very chaotic; we needed help. On seeking this out, I found some excellent cleaning and pet care services out there. But what I needed, like Robison Crusoe, was my own Man Friday: someone who could do everything from taking
Mum shopping to watering Dad’s hanging baskets. So if, like me, you find yourself feeling guilty for not having enough quality time for yourself, or your loved ones, let me be your Woman Friday. Give me a call so we can have a chat about your individual requirements and see if I can help you with life’s little problems.”

Set Yourself Free with Hypnotherapy If 2018 is the year you want to quit smoking, remove that fear of spiders or need help in losing weight, North Yorkshire Hypnotherapy can help. Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural and effective way of achieving your goal. Tim Lichfield, a qualified Hypnotherapist for over 10 years, explains how it works: “Hypnosis is something we go through every day of our lives, even if we’re not realising it. That moment you drift into a daydream or when you make a routine journey and suddenly realise you’ve arrived at your destination are both examples of every day hypnosis. It’s a therapy that communicates with the unconscious mind to make a positive change. It’s almost like reprogramming a computer. Now, of course, if it’s something like a spider fear, I would make sure you are still safe and protected against the more harmful species as I wouldn’t want you to go to Australia and pick up a Black Widow!

When under hypnosis, a misconception is you have NO control, this isn’t the case. I always explain to a client that a ‘trance’ is like a daydream state. ‘Does it work?’ is a question commonly asked. Hypnotherapy DEFINITELY works. However, if a friend or relative ‘forced’ you to have a session to quit smoking, but you didn’t really want to give up, it wouldn’t really have an effect. Otherwise, absolutely it does and I have had many clients who could confirm that.” North Yorkshire Hypnotherapy has therapy rooms in Easingwold, Thirsk & Northallerton. To book a session or to find out more, visit: www.northyorkshirehypnotherapy.com or call 0775 242 6419 and ‘Set Yourself Free’.

Creative Mums take centre stage at The Forum in Northallerton for craft market like no other The popular Made by Mummy Markets is set to take Northallerton by storm this November as the specialist arts and craft market place comes to The Forum in the town centre. On Sunday 25th November The Forum will host the event at which 30 mums running small businesses from home will display their creations. Crafts will range from original art works, knitting, embroidery, ceramics, glass work, baking and more. There will be a café area and activities for children. The stall holders will be specially selected for the event as organiser Samantha Jennings explains, ‘Stalls for this event can not be booked in the traditional way most craft fairs work. At Made by Mummy Markets stall holders apply for a stall and then I can curate the event ensuring a good selection of different crafts are on display. That way sellers are complimenting each other rather than competing to sell similar items to the same customer. I am taking applications now, and the closing
date is 1st June, so the successful makers will have the summer months to get busy creating their stock. I’d love to hear from more mums, dads, grandparents or other guardians who are running small craft businesses from home. I want to showcase their talents and bring customers off the big high street brands into a local market place where each sale supports a person’s dream to turn their talents and hobby into a business that makes money.’ For more information about Made by Mummy Markets or to request an application form contact samantha@ davidjennings.co.uk 07811190193 www.madebymummymarkets.com or visit the Facebook page.

The Easingwold Singers For their Spring Concert, The Easingwold Singers are delighted to be performing Haydn’s “Creation” at 7.30 pm on Saturday 19th May at St John the Baptist & All Saints Church, Easingwold, especially as this year the church celebrates 600 years of the building. Anyone who is familiar with the church will know that it is a truly beautiful picturesque building, very atmospheric with great acoustics; indeed a very apt location for a performance of such a wonderful and evocative musical work of quite a grand scale. Rehearsals are going well and our Musical Director, Ed Venn, certainly has the knack of encouraging the choir to do justice to the music we are to perform. The singers themselves are pleasantly surprised with the resonance of sound we are creating, even when out of our comfort zones. It is all very encouraging and bodes well for a musical experience par excellence, come May. Another coup is that we have been fortunate in securing the services of Alan Horsey to play the organ. Alan is a renowned organist with an excellent pedigree and reputation within musical circles for his skills and interpretations and so we know he will do justice to this technical and challenging piece. He carries out many recitals and performs with many musical societies and establishments, including the Huddersfield Choral Society and the Hallé Orchestra to name just two. Furthermore, Ed is in the final stages of engaging some superb soloists thus creating an impressive ensemble of guest musicians for what promises to be a joyous and moving performance celebrating life, love, the mysteries of the universe and of course praise and thanks to God. We hope you will come along and join us for the evening. Please see the advert below for details of how and where you can obtain tickets, and we look forward to welcoming our audience and supporters, old and new to what we are sure will be another wonderful concert. For more information, please contact either Polly our Chairman on 01845 524 795 or email us: easingwoldsingers@gmail.com We will be happy to hear from you.

n Musicport on the Moors A new festival for 2018 from the organisers of the redoubtable Musicport Festival (est. 2000). The Hut Goathland (a.k.a Goathland Community Hub) Whilst never wishing to stand still, and with a brief to develop new events Musicport, (which has always been a town-based festival) is extending outside of Whitby into the glorious countryside of the North Yorkshire Moors and developing an event that sets itself in the landscape of the historic and beautiful village of Goathland. Based around the new community venue The Hut, with camping onsite, the festival aims to carry on the relaxed and friendly and high-quality ethos of its established festival but with more time for festival goers to interact with artists and
with each other whilst hopefully developing new skills. With a limit on festival attendance of 150 it’s bound to have a very intimate atmosphere and that combined with a line-up that encompasses many different music and other art forms, will make it a unique way to spend a bank holiday weekend. Tickets for Musicport On The Moors now available (to include camping) at £100 for 4 days. If you’d like to buy tickets (which can be paid for in 3 instalments) ring Musicport on 01947 603475 or you can buy online by visiting their website. www.musicportfestival.com ........................................................

EASINGWOLD PLAYERS
Brassed Off in Spring ? No need to worry for In April 2018 Easingwold Players and Easingwold Town Band are joining forces to put on a production of the well known play Brassed Off. The play follows the highs and lows of members of Grimley Colliery Brass Band and their families. Set in the days after the miners strike the play holds no punches back as it reflects the effect of that event. This well loved play features a mixture of humour, gritty determination and pathos highlighted by the refuge found by the community in the music of their brass band. The production will run from Wednesday April 18th until Saturday April 21st in the Galtres Centre, Easingwold. Performances begin at 7.30pm. Tickets available at The Galtres Centre Box Office, open Monday to Friday9am to 5pm. Tel. 01347 822472 for easy booking of seats, with credit card facilities available.

GARDEN VIEW
Spring has Sprung The other day someone said to me, ‘You are so lucky…you have a beautiful garden.’ I thanked her of course, but I really wanted to say, ‘Luck has very little to do with it. A beautiful garden does not happen by pure chance. It takes a bit of work and planning.’ As the spring equinox looms, the trees blossom and daffodils bloom. The garden is waking up from its winter sleep and is full of promise. I am excited to be outside in it but I’m aware for nongardeners it can seem daunting when everything (including the weeds) starts growing at once! So where to begin? There are three fairly simple tasks which will get you off to a flying start. Pruning is the first task. It’s time to hard prune late-flowering shrubs like Buddleia, Leycesteria and Lavateria, but only if the risk of hard frost is past. Spring flowering plants such as Forsythia and Winter Honeysuckle should be pruned immediately the flowers fade. If you haven’t already pruned your bush roses, now is the time. Leave about an inch of last year’s growth to encourage bushiness and lots of flowers. Shrub roses don’t need such radical treatment but would benefit from losing

a third of their old, thick, woody stems. Then a bit of lifting is required. Lift congested clumps of snowdrops while they still have leaves showing. Finally, stay on top of the weeds from the outset. If you leave them, weeding quickly becomes an insurmountable chore. But of course gardening is about planting things and one of the best things to plant now is lilies. If you have a bit of a slug problem like I do grow them in pots. Pots also have the advantage of protecting the bulbs. I hate slicing through them accidentally when hoeing. And pots mean you can grow them even if you only have a balcony. There are loads of varieties to choose from. Three bulbs fit nicely into an 8inch / 20cm pot and five fit into a ten inch / 25cm pot. I’ve found terracotta pots best because lilies are tall and terracotta provides enough weight to prevent them tipping over.
Lilies need a well-drained open planting mixture so I use a mixture of potting compost plus a soil-less multi-purpose compost. The bulb tips should be a couple of inches below the compost. Keep in a sheltered spot and water when the surface of the compost looks dry. Once the buds have formed, feed weekly with dilute tomato food until late summer. When the blooms fade, cut the stems down and place in a sheltered spot. Each spring, scrape away a couple of inches of compost and add fresh mixture, then repeat the instructions above. Treated like this your lilies will reward you for three or four years before they need re-potting. By Rachael Leverton
