Hi there, Welcome to our 10 Year Anniversary edition It’s our 10 year birthday everybody! 10 years ago we published our first ever magazine and posted the first copy of what was soon to become millions.
Berry-Kay from Hart Road, Thundersley who won a Sonic the Hedgehog DVD. Well done to all those who got the correct answer despite our mistake! Congratulations!
We owe a massive thank you to both Claire & Elaine for all their hard work over the last 10 years. Also a special thanks to both our loyal advertiser and every one of you that support all small businesses in your local community.
In the kids quiz this month your family has the chance to win a DVD copy of Onward The Next Level. Don’t forget you have to be in it to win it!
From this month you will see a major change in our little magazine, starting with the name. Next month look out for the ‘Keep It Local’ magazine coming through your door. It will be the same magazine with puzzles, competitions, articles and most importantly fantastic local businesses. Whilst we undergo this rebranding please reach out with any ideas of editorial you would like to see whether its a one off feature or something we could publish monthly, we like to keep our ideas local too! Thanks again for your support, we can’t wait for the next 10 years. July’s Quiz Winner was Louise

Frying Pan Pizza Base 500g Strong white bread flour 1½ tsp dried active yeast. 1 tsp table salt 1 tsp sugar. Topping 400g tin chopped plum tomatoes, 1 bunch basil 1 pack buffalo mozzarella, Extra-virgin olive oil, to drizzle. Your topping choices
Method 4 Pizzas. 2- 5 Day Prep. 35 min cook.
IMPORTANT - You cannot use a non-stick frying pan
1
Mix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar then stir in 325ml water to a smooth dough. Cover and put in the fridge for two to four days.
2
Tip on to a lightly floured surface. Divide into four roughly equal portions, shape into balls, cover and leave for two hours. While the dough is rising take the cheese and toppings out of the fridge so that they come to room temperature.
3
Empty the tomatoes into a saucepan over a medium heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, until they form a thick sauce. Season this to taste with salt and a pinch of sugar.
4
Once the dough has proved, flatten it into pizza bases to fit your pan. For reference my pan has a 26cm base. Heat the cast iron frying pan or skillet over a moderate-high heat. It’s ready when you drop a little water into the base and it instantly hisses and bounces. Preheat the grill to between moderate and high.
5
Lightly flour your hands then stretch the dough into a rough round, keeping the edges a bit thicker. Cook in the pan until the top starts to dry out then add some tomato sauce and mozzarella. Wait a minute before adding any other toppings. Leave in the pan until base begins to char.
6
When you’re happy with the bottom switch the pan to under the grill until the cheese bubbles and the edges brown. Finish with a few basil leaves.

WELL-BEING AND WATER Most people find the sound of water relaxing. The benefits of 'blue space' – the sea, rivers, lakes, canals and waterfalls, have been studied, and found to be psychologically restorative; associated with increased sense of well-being, lower levels of stress and mental illness, lower blood pressure, and higher levels of vitamin D. In short, being by water is good for body and mind. Can we replicate this in our gardens? There are many ways to introduce water into a smaller space, including natural look ponds and waterfalls, but you don't need a deep ornamental pond; you can create a small pond in a container, or create a toddler and pet-friendly pebble pond, or install a modern water feature which uses reflective surfaces that bounce light around, creating movement and life in the tiniest space. Any water source will attract a wide range of wildlife. I have a metallic sphere water feature on my patio that seems to be a magnet for dragonflies, which are a delight to watch. A shallow beached area or pebble pool will attract bathing birds, and also frogs and toads, which can shelter, breed, and stay out of sight of potential predators. You may even attract a hedgehog or two. They enjoy shallow pools with sloped edges, so they can drink and bathe without falling in. A small barrel or container pond will allow algae to grow which will attract water invertebrates including snails, pond skaters and water boatmen. Kids love water so introducing a pond is a great way to encourage them to learn about local wildlife while having fun. Safety is crucial though; if you have young children it might be better to wait until they are older before creating a large pond, as it will require constant supervision. A pebble pool with a small fountain effect provides all the sound and fun of water with none of the depth, and a large trug or half barrel can be transformed into a tiny wildlife pond. If you do create a pond, position it where it can be seen from the house, make sure the edges slope gently, and fence it off while the children are young. Planting around water features is half the fun. The water forget-me-not, Myosotis scorpioides is perfect for growing in shallow water or in the muddy area at the edge of ponds. It has pretty blue flowers in late spring and attracts newts, which lay their eggs on the leaves. Irises and grasses look lovely planted around any water features and you can even find a tiny lily - Nymphaea 'Pygmaea Alba' white - for small ponds, which has the bonus of being heavily scented. Water features in a garden are no longer the preserve of the rich, with acres to spare. Even if you only have a tiny balcony you can now enjoy the sight and sound of water in your outside space. Happy gardening,

AFTER BEFORE
TRANSFORM YOUR HOME AT A FRACTION OF THE COST I would highly recommend this company. They cleaned and painted my roof and jet washed my driveway. It was quite a task but I’m so happy with the result. Very easy to deal with, polite tradesmen who were respectful of social distancing and did a very tidy job. Excellent service, worked non stop to get the job finished. Definitely use again. We have used Billy for patio cleaning, fascia and soffit cleaning and most recently to clean and paint the lower roof tiles and front of our property. We have been extremely pleased with all the work Billy has carried out and would highly recommend him to everyone.

DISCOVER BADMINTON At the time of writing gyms, leisure centres and swimming pools are in the process of re-opening. But that doesn't mean that we can't participate in sport. From 1st June we've been able to play badminton outside, in the garden or on a marked court. If you've never played before now might be the perfect time to give it a try. It's a great sport for people of all ages and fitness levels. Those who play regularly are more mentally alert, with better fitness and agility levels. It's also a very social game and what we need right now are low-risk ways to socialise, because socialising is good for our mental health. Played at a high level it can burn up to 450 calories an hour but even a gentle to-and-fro with the grandkids in the local park will burn 150-200 calories. Badminton, like tennis requires total engagement. Players need to predict how an opponent will play a shot and then plan a counterattack, which improves mental agility. There is research to suggest that sports which involve a combination of both mental and physical activity offer a protective effect against dementia. Badminton requires a lot of movement, in multiple directions. It requires short sprints, jumps, stretches, and lunges as players strive to reach the shuttlecock, which means that legs, arms, and core muscles are all being worked. This builds strength and flexibility. Badminton is a great 'build-up' sport. You can start as slow as you like, tapping the shuttlecock over the net, trying to keep a rally going for as long as possible. As you improve and become quicker on your feet your shots will naturally increase in speed and strength too, and you will almost certainly want to introduce element of competitiveness. Played at higher levels the shuttlecock travels at impressive speeds. Badminton is actually the fastest racquet sport in the world. Professional players can smash the shuttle at speeds of over 200mph! This speed encourages players to improve co-ordination and core stability. Again, studies have shown that people with good core strength and co-ordination are less likely to suffer falls as they age. The best way to get started is to find a friend of similar fitness level and get out and give it a go. Having a practice partner will make you both more likely to commit to playing regularly. It's near impossible to play properly competitively outside as you are at the mercy of any breeze and a shuttlecock is 12 times lighter than a tennis ball. But if the aim is to improve agility and fitness while socialising and having fun, don't let that stop you. By the time sports facilities open back up your confidence will have grown, and you may be ready for the next step of joining a badminton club or regular session. And the beauty of badminton is that it can be played indoors all winter, so rain never has to stop play. If you're a more accomplished badminton player who is missing their fix you could try crossminton, which is designed for outdoor play, doesn't need a court, and combines elements of badminton, tennis, and squash.
