Hi there, Welcome to our June edition

So who else is waiting for Summer to start? This year must have been one of the wettest May's we've had for a while. I'm in wardrobe limbo at the moment. Every time I go to pack the jumpers away, the rain comes down and the cold comes with it. On a brighter note, it was great to see so many small businesses re-open to indoor trade on the 17th May. They have worked tirelessly to keep themselves a float with either fraction or no income what so ever. Not only that but on a personal note eating in a restaurant for the first time in I don't know how long was actually surreal. I hope for the remainder of the closed businesses and everybody in fact that the Country keeps moving in the right direction and June 21st goes how we are all hoping it will. The weather will certainly help us all stay outside in the ventilated space, but as things progress, stay safe. Not only for yourself but for all of us.

GUTTER CLEARANCE

May's Quiz Winner was Lucy Bateman from Pinetrees in Hadleigh who won a Spongebob Squarepants DVD. Well done to all those who got the correct answer! In the kids quiz this month your little one has the chance to win a Raya & the Last Dragon DVD. Don’t forget you have to be in it to win it!

Do You Want Ketchup on That? The history of the nation’s favourite sauce.

Ketchup is found in 97 percent homes but there’s more to it than burgers or hotdogs. In fact, ketchup dates back to imperial China. It was originally made with fermented fish entrails, meat by-products and soybeans... yum! This fish sauce was easy to store on long ocean voyages. The tomato-based ketchup we love today wasn't invented until 1812. Tomato plants were brought to England from South America in the 1500s, but amazingly their fruits weren’t eaten for centuries because some people thought they were poisonous. The 1700s were a golden age for ketchup. There were recipes made from oysters, mussels, mushrooms, walnuts, lemons, celery, and plums. Usually, the ingredients were either boiled down into a syruplike consistency or left to sit with salt for extended periods of time. This resulted in a highly concentrated end product: a salty, spicy condiment that became extremely popular. In 1812, someone finally thought to use tomatoes in the recipe. James Mease, a Philadelphia scientist, is credited with developing the recipe. Initially preservation of tomato ketchup was an issue because the fruits decomposed quickly. A relatively new company called Heinz developed a formulation which included, brown sugar, salt, spices, and distilled vinegar. They also pioneered the use of glass bottles, so customers could see what they were buying. Today, Heinz is the best-selling brand of ketchup the UK. 650 million bottles and 11 BILLION sachets are sold around the world each year. Something to consider next time you order a hotdog!

Garden Goddess

Iris was the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology. I have a thing for Greek mythology, and I love Irises. The large, bearded types unfurl at this time of year and they reflect the colours of the spectrum from deepest purple, through dusky orange, egg-yolk yellow and the most delicate of blues, to the brightest of whites. They comprise of standard petals, which are carried aloft over the graceful fall petals, which arch downwards. From the upper bases of the falls grow groups of fuzzy hairs called beards and from this the bearded Iris gets her name. Even the foliage is attractive: large pale green swords that shoot straight upwards from the earth. Bearded Irises love full sun and prefer to have their fleshy rhizomes (the underground stems) near the soil surface so they can take full advantage of the sun’s warmth. They actually prefer a more impoverished soil, so if your soil is a bit thin and dry they may be perfect for your garden. As the clumps become overcrowded the centres die out. Dig them up immediately after flowering and chop them into single healthy rhizomes, each with a fan of leaves. Shorten each fan with scissors by about half, then replant about 30cm apart in another sunny spot so that the rhizomes are just visible under the surface. Although they like drier conditions make sure they are watered in and looked after for a few weeks until established. But really you don’t need to do much to them. Overly enriched soil is not a friend to the iris, which might decline to flower in such conditions. My best flowering plants are in the driest, most sun-baked part of my plot! But for those who have shadier gardens and boggier conditions try the non-bearded Iris sibirica. I have one in a sun-dappled spot by a water feature. Its leaves are greener and grassier, which complements the water, and it has lovely rich blue flowers which look particularly nice in the shade. I also like Iris ensata, which I plant by my pool at the water’s edge. It’s also a good choice in borders if you garden on richer soil than mine. So, invoke the power of the Goddess Iris in your garden, and enjoy the rainbow of colour. Happy gardening, By Rachael Leverton

A Good Read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

We all experience both good and bad in our lives. Some people seem pretty content with their lot in spite of adversity, and some are dissatisfied even when others feel they’ve been dealt a good hand. At some point all of us have wondered, what if? What if things were different? Nora certainly does. She’s in her 20s yet feels trapped. As a teenager she was destined to become an Olympic swimmer, but gave it up, went to university to study philosophy, and ended up working in a local music shop, living alone with her cat. Nora’s life seems to be going from bad to worse, so she decides to not go on living at all, and one night, just before midnight, she takes an overdose and writes a goodbye note. Suddenly she finds herself in a library; an infinite library where the time is always 00:00 – the Midnight Library. There she meets Mrs Elm, her old school librarian, who explains that this is where she can decide whether or not to live. But she doesn’t have to live her current life; she can live ANY possible life that she could ever have had. Every regret that she ever had has led to another version of her living that life in another possible existence. She now has the chance to decide if she would like to live one of those lives. The Midnight Library draws on classical philosophical ideas, and this thoughtprovoking novel will lead you to question what happiness is really all about. Will Nora decide to live and if so, which life will she choose? By Willow Coby

MASYU PUZZLE

E X A M P L E

INSTRUCTIONS

Masyu is a charming but sophisticated

puzzle where you are required to “string” black and white “pearls” with a line that forms a continuous loop. The string can only be horizontal or vertical. On unmarked cells the line that is the string can enter and exit in any two of the four sides of a cell. The trick and the trouble starts when the pearls are adjacent to one another. There are two rules according to the colour of the pearl: 1) Black pearls: A line going through a black pearl must enter and exit at right angles on the pearl. It must also extend straight for two squares in the chosen directions.

2) White pearls: A line goes straight through a white pearl. In one or both directions the line must perform a turn immediately after   the white pearl.
