Stephanie Helen Witt, Dress Doctor
YOUR HIGH STREET NEEDS YOU!
Please book in your spring summer wardrobe overhaul and personal shopping with Dress Doctor today. www.dressdoctor.org or email Stephanie at stephanie@dressdoctor.org
Look up from your smart phone and discard those emails trying to lure you onto fashion websites with promises of price crashes and celebrity must haves. Your Facebook profile is full of adverts relating to things you looked at online but didn’t quite purchase. Ever felt like you’re being watched and monitored? Break free from those modern shackles, pull on a blazer and swap your moccasins for some more meaty soles and let’s go shopping – not virtual living room scrolling, but real life retail submersion. Welcome to your local High Street… Dress Doctor is proposing that we ditch the data and embrace the whole package that our stores lay out for our buying pleasure. Going into a fashion emporium is a sensory experience: from the moment your eyes fixate on that window display of mannequins adorned in the latest must haves, to the racks of sumptuous satin shirts and forties style frocks. You sing with a little too much conviction to that song blearing out of the speakers, whilst scooping up that wild card that might just work. That’s the thing with actual shopping; you can take a chance… try it on and see! Meanwhile, the assistant is friendly, smiling and helpful – they have found the perfect piece that was hiding from your view and their expertise told them it would flatter your body in all the right places. You’ve found the one – cue endorphin release! This British institution needs our support, as business rates increase along with higher staffing costs and dwindling foot fall, times are tough out there for our retailers. M&S and House of Fraser are closing stores rapidly, as are New Look, with the shell of BHS still empty and a stark reminder of this downturn. Retailers need to do more to give the consumer an all-round experience and as a result we are starting to see more eateries and in store events. Local councils also need to step up and provide affordable, abundant parking, even free on occasion. The pull of the online purchase is great with the promise of a cheaper price tag, a huge choice, next day delivery and the convenience of your own home with no closing time. I’m sorry but no millennial is going to convince me anything is better than the smell of those leather boots and the thumbs up from my mum when we find the perfect fit TOGETHER.

During these meetings, there is at least one counsellor to facilitate and support the sessions. This group was started by Linda Wilson in June 2017. It gives the opportunity for parents to come together, to talk to people who can relate and understand how it feels to lose a child and offer counselling through this grief journey. Linda is very keen and passionate about this group as she lost her Son Tony, two years ago. He had a brain tumour and was 35 years old.
‘GONE TOO SOON’ GROUP ‘Gone Too Soon’ Bereavement Support is for Parents who have lost a Son or Daughter, of all ages, in any circumstances and however long ago. Meetings are held on the third Monday of each month at Reids, 66-68 Laindon Road, Billericay CM12 9LD from 7.00 p.m. – 9.00 p.m. There is ample free parking available.
She can therefore understand how isolating it feels and how hard it is for families to come to terms with such devastating news, as you shouldn’t have to bury your child it’s not the right order of things.
The next meeting will take place on Monday 18th February and then Monday 18th March. If you would like further details, please contact Linda for a chat on 07387 - 805406 or email lyn-currie@hotmail.co.uk

Bacon-Wrapped Monkfish 400g monkfish tail, sliced into 2 fillets, 2 large tomatoes, halved 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped, 3-4 tbsp vinaigrette 12 rashers (about 140g/5oz) dry-cure rindless smoked streaky bacon 225g bag watercress and salad leaves
Method
Prep 20 mins › Cook 25 mins › Serves 4 People
1
Lay 1 monkfish tail fillet on a board, sprinkle with thyme leaves and season. Lay the other fillet on top with tapering tip in the opposite direction, so each end has one thick and one thin end.
2
Lay the bacon on a board, slightly overlapping and put the monkfish in the centre. Wrap the fish in the rashers so that it holds together quite firmly. Heat the grill for 3-5 mins. Line the grill pan, lay the monkfish on it, with the bacon joins underneath.
3
Grill for about 7-10 mins until the bacon starts to crisp, then carefully turn over and cook for another 7-10 mins. At the same time, grill the tomato halves. As soon as the monkfish feels firm when pressed on top, remove and leave to stand for 5 mins. Save any pan juices from the paper and drizzle into the vinaigrette. Cut the monkfish into medallions, slightly on the diagonal. Dress the watercress salad with the vinaigrette and juices and divide between four plates. Place monkfish on top, season with pepper and serve tomatoes alongside. Nice with baby new potatoes.

ALMOST SPRING February is another slow month in the garden however if you have a greenhouse, poly tunnel or bright windowsill you can get those seed trays out and start sowing. Make sure you give all trays and pots a good clean to kill any nasty bacteria that may attack the seedlings, and bring the compost in out of the snow and icy conditions for a few hours so as not to shock the seeds. If you are unsure how to sow the seeds refer to the back of the packet and follow the instructions given, as different seeds require different methods. If you are planning on an early crop of spuds now is the time to start chit seed potatoes. Chitting simply means placing the potatoes in a frost free place with indirect light so they produce short strong shoots, therefore giving them a faster start. Use egg cartons or seed trays to keep them in and don’t forget to label them, it’s easy to get confused as to which variety is which when it comes to planting them. This is the last chance to prune fruit tree’s if you didn’t manage to get around to it in autumn, fruit tree’s are best pruned when dormant so best try to get it done by the first half of the month, weather permitting. While on the subject of fruit, if you are planting Raspberries and/or other cane fruit they really need to be in by the end of the month, this allows them to establish strong roots, as strong roots means a bountiful crop.

THE LEGO MOVIE 2
MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 08/02/19 The much-anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed, global box office phenomenon that started it all, The LEGO® Movie 2, reunites the heroes of Bricksburg in an all new actionpacked adventure to save their beloved city. It’s been five years since everything was awesome and the citizens are facing a huge new threat: LEGO DUPLO® invaders from outer space, wrecking everything faster than they can rebuild. The battle to defeat them and restore harmony to the LEGO universe will take Emmet, Lucy, Batman and their friends to faraway, unexplored worlds, including a strange galaxy where everything is a musical. It will test their courage, creativity and Master Building skills, and reveal just how special they really are. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is an upcoming computer-animated musical science fiction comedy film produced by the Warner Animation Group. A direct sequel to The Lego Movie, it will be the fourth film in the franchise, set to follow the releases of both of the first film’s spin-offs, The Lego Batman Movie and The Lego Ninjago Movie. Animal Logic, who provided the animation for all the films in the franchise, is returning. The film is directed by Mike Mitchell, with Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (writers and directors of the first film) returning as producers and writers; animation direction is by Trisha Gum. It features the reprised roles of Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Charlie Day, Alison Brie and Nick Offerman.

HEALTHY SHROVE TUESDAY If by some miracle of willpower you have managed to stick to a healthy diet since the start of the year, just the thought of Nutella melting over hot pancakes on Shrove Tuesday may be enough to send you over the edge and abandon your saintly ways. But pancakes don’t have to be filled with sugar and saturated fat to be enjoyable - and a healthy lifestyle isn’t necessarily one void of indulgent treats. Below, Carly Tierney, health and fitness expert at DW fitness, offers her best advice for making nutritious pancakes. “Pancakes are a favourite breakfast food, and many varieties provide a number of essential nutrients. However, they can be high in calories from sugar and fat, especially if you eat them at a restaurant or top them with a lot of butter and syrup. You can make more nutritious versions of pancakes at home,” she said. will your kids. “Plain pancakes can be a good source of vitamins and minerals. You can make them even more nutritious by ditching the unhealthy toppings like cream and jam and instead add chopped fruit, nuts and veggies. “The way that you cook your pancakes can also make a massive difference to the calorie content and how healthy they are. Try replacing your usual butter or vegetable oil with low-calorie sprays or a small amount of coconut oil and always use oils sparingly.” GO BANANAS For 3-4 small pancakes you will need: A whole egg, Two egg whites, One banana.
Mash the banana and crack the eggs in it to it, stirring until the mixture comes together. (Expect lumps because of the banana). Heat a greased griddle or frying pan on a medium heat and pour about a 2.5-inch wide portion of batter. Carefully flip the pancake after about 25 seconds or when it browns. Perfectly sweet, these pancakes can be served on their own. The recipe makes 3-4 small pancakes. Although their natural sugar content is on the high side, bananas are a great source of potassium, fibre and protein. Bananas are an excellent substitute for chocolate, cream and other fattening toppings. We used just one full egg alongside two egg whites to keep the calorie count down, while retaining the nutritional benefits that eggs bring.

DIET = NO LIFE. RIGHT? WRONG! You tell your friends who are having a nice meal that you can’t eat out because you are trying to lose weight You might not even do that; I’ve heard all manner of reasons for avoiding situations like this from ‘I’m on antibiotics’ to ‘the dog is ill’ ... yep it’s true! BUT IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS!!! While it can be tough socialising while you’re trying to lose weight there are some things you can do which means you can get lean and still have a life! A great rule to live by is ‘strategic cheat meals’ stick to the diet and eat healthily for the whole week and have one cheat meal a week where you can eat what you like. So, assuming you REALLY want results this year, here are my top tips on being prepared & staying on track when eating out when it’s NOT a cheat meal 1. Check out the menu in advance. This is easy; most restaurants have websites now. If not, ask to look at the menu a few days in advance or even better, call them and ask if they can post one to you. 2. Drink a BIG glass of water before you leave the house. This will not only hydrate you but will also make you feel fuller so you don’t go too wild on... 3. Avoid the bread. AT ALL COSTS! Bread makes you fat – simple as that. Eat bread – stay the same. 4. You booze, you lose. Another easy one; Alcohol is a useless nutrient – a liquid sugar that your body has no use for other than to store it as fat. Choose water or sparkling water if you prefer something fizzy. 5. To start or not to start? If available choose a salad without a high calorie dressing; oil and balsamic vin-egar are great, lemon juice is even better. Most res-taurants do a tomato & red onion salad or a Greek salad. You could also go for
something like asparagus tips. If you can’t find a suitable starter you could always stock up on: 6. Side Orders. A side order isn’t always for the greedy among us – use it sneakily! Order extra veg: asparagus, red onion salad, garlic sautéed spinach or something similar (oh and not all of them!) 7. Choose a ‘meat and veg’ meal. You know to stay away from pasta and pizza right? Both are guaranteed to make you gain body fat especially in the love handle area – muffin top…? Instead, check out the steak (the leaner the better of course) check out the chicken options or cod/salmon/tuna steak options. Choose the veg and salad over chips! 8. Skip dessert. Dessert is not a necessity, it’s a bad habit. Break it! If you must choose something to ‘finish off’ your meal, choose a black coffee.So there you have it... you can have your social life back now!
