Hi there,
Welcome to our ‘New Year' edition Happy New Year everybody! The years always fly by but thanks to pandemics and lockdowns I think 2020 was probably the quickest yet. Although I doubt any of us celebrated the New Year in the normal manner I hope that you have all had a good start to 2021. We’re delighted this month to include four photos from four very talented local people on our front covers. We had an amazing response to our request of photos of the local area in the Winter. It was difficult but we did eventually pick our four favourites (it only took a month!) We’d love to keep including local photos by local people though so if you have some snaps you are particularly proud of please send it in by email or social media. Think Spring and Summer, they’ll be here before you know it. More puzzles for you this month. If you don’t have the patience for a Zebra Puzzle or Codeword then check out the Letterlogic or Wordsearch. Won’t take up too much time or brainpower if your head is still a little sore from December.
We have decided to extend the December kid's quiz until January this month to ensure readers who receive the book a little bit later in the month still had a chance to win the fantastic Paw Patrol DVD on offer. If your little one is a Paw Patrol Fan make sure you get their answer and send it in to our email. Don't forget to include their name and address.

GO NUTS IN 2021 No longer feared as the enemy of weight loss, these little nutritional powerhouses have come into their own. Here are four reasons to go a little bit nuts this year. Health - Eating nuts boosts health. They are particularly beneficial to heart health, lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. A review of 25 scientific led scientists to conclude that eating 70g of nuts per day resulted in lower total cholesterol and lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. Stay slim - One Spanish study of almost 9000 adults, showed that those who ate nuts at least twice a week had a much lower risk of gaining weight over the next few years compared to those who rarely or never ate them. Another study found that despite having the same calorie-intake, adults who included 84g of almonds into their daily diet in place of some of the carbs, had around a 60% greater reduction in weight and body fat after 6 months compared to those who did not eat them. Muscles – Nuts contain the right combinations of protein and essential fatty acids, to protect muscle tissue, repair damaged cells and reduce inflammation. Portability - If you’re looking for the easiest healthy snack to stash in your handbag or office drawer, nuts are your friend. They provide an instant energy-boost to beat the mid-afternoon slump, and don’t cause a sudden spike in blood sugar like chocolatebased snacks. Keep portions to around 30g per day and stick to raw unsalted varieties. But now is definitely the time to go nuts!

SOHA ALMOND SHIRINI 250g ground almonds, 200g granulated sugar, 4 egg whites, Almond flake for topping
Method
15 Min Prep 17 Min Cook
1
In a large electric mixing bowl add the ground almonds, sugar and 3 egg whites, mix using a pedal attachment until a thick paste is formed. Cover the bowl with cling film and leave to rest for half an hour. Preheat the oven to 170c. Line a large baking trays with parchment paper.
2
Take the cling film off the bowl and attach the bowl back on the machine. Turn the machine on to low speed and let it run for two seconds, then add the other egg white. Beat for a minute on low speed until the egg white starts to incorporate. Turn the machine off and scrape the side using a spatula, beat for a further 2 to 3 minutes at medium-high speed until a nice creamy mixture is formed.
3
Pour the mixture into a piping bag using a nozzle or you can use it without a nozzle. Pipe your shirinies, leaving space in between, you can pipe large or small shirinies. Place a couple of almond flakes on top and bake for 18-23 minutes (depending on the size of the shirinies) or until golden on top. Leave to cool then serve. These shirinies will keep up to two weeks in an airtight container.

THE WINTER GARDEN If I say ‘winter garden’ what do you imagine? A stately home? Evergreen shrubs? Topiary maybe? It dawned on me a few years ago when I was out walking the dog on a frosty morning that winter gardens are really all about the light. From late autumn through the winter there is a pink-gold low slanting light in the morning and afternoon which makes frost and raindrops sparkle, casts interesting shadows and makes everything look magical. Watch your garden throughout the day from the rooms you where you see it best. Watch where and when the sunlight falls and plan accordingly. Grasses look beautiful when they are covered in frost and backlit. The red or yellow winter stems of Cornus (or dogwood) however seem to glow when winter sunshine illuminates them directly. Most suburban houses have smaller gardens, easily visible from the house so it’s important to choose plants which look good in more than one season. As well as shrubs with good stem colour, look for smaller trees with pretty bark. There are plenty of small Japanese Maples which can be grown in tubs. If you have a little more space a silver birch can look stunning, or even my favourite, the paper-bark maple, Acer griseum, which is a slow-growing small tree, pretty all year round with crimson leaves in the autumn then a characteristic chestnut bark which peels naturally to reveal bright orange red bark underneath. Look for plants with architectural shapes such as one of the sculptural eryngiums (sea holly), salvias or sedums. All look beautiful in the summer and autumn but gain a second lease of life when covered with frosted cobwebs. Plants like these will make you want to get out in your garden even in winter, so add a little scent with a winter jasmine or a sarcococca confusa (Christmas box) which has tiny white highly scented flowers. These late flowering plants provide a source of nectar for early pollinators. I no longer tidy my flower beds. I leave piles of fallen leaves and debris in beds to provide shelter for wildlife. The leaves to rot down in the end which is good for the soil too. But I do spend time neatening the edge of the lawn and sharpening the edges of my borders. It’s amazing how much smarter my garden looks with minimal effort. I wish you a Happy New Year and happy gardening.

PEAK HEART RATE DEMYSTIFIED To make the most of your workout you need to pay attention to your heart rate. A heart-rate monitor, which notifies you when you reach your maximum predicted heart rate, is useful. To calculate this number during your own workouts, simply subtract your age from 220; so, for a 40-year-old, that would be 180 BPM (beats per minute). You do need to take your fitness level into account. If you’ve never worked out before and your fitness levels are low aim to achieve 50 to 70 percent of your maximum predicted heart rate. For highly trained athletes, the goal is to hit 90 percent.
This Article is Sponsored by
So, a relatively unfit 40-year-old should aim for 90-126 BPM. This doesn’t apply if you are taking part in HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) workouts, because for these you’ll spike your heart rate to high levels during your working intervals for very short periods, then allow it to partially drop while you’re resting between sets. Continue to pay attention to your heart rate after your work out is finished. Watch how long it takes for your heart rate to return to baseline after completing aerobic exercise. It should drop by about 20 beats within the first minute of stopping exercise. As you become fitter though and exercise at peak heart rate for longer, it may take longer for your heart rate to return to normal. If your goal is to improve your cardiovascular fitness aim to stay between 60 and 70% of your maximum predicted heart rate. To improve endurance, aim to hit 70 to 90%. IMPORTANT If you have any medical condition you should check with your GP before starting a new exercise regime. By Louise Addison
