Mixed Vegetable Curry In celebration of Vegetarian Week 15th - 19th May 2 medium potatoes peeled & cut into 2cm chunks, 300ml vegetable stock, 1 large carrot, peeled & sliced, ½ cauliflower, cut into small florets & halved, 3 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 large onion, finely chopped ,100g frozen peas, 1 tbsp medium or hot curry powder, 1 x 227g tin chopped tomatoes, Plain yoghurt, Mango chutney and chosen rice or naan, to serve.

PUT A SPRING IN YOUR STEP
Givenchy S/S 2019
You can build a whole outfit around a killer pair of shoes or a statement handbag, as accessories should never be an afterthought. Accessories can add punch with a pop of colour or a plastering of print. Never underestimate their power to lift an outfit and use them as a vehicle to showcase the latest catwalk must – haves. Accessories facilitate your creative processes – they are a stylist’s dream, as they add individuality and accents to any ensemble. They nip in, they hide and they add flourishes of fun. Read on to find Dress Doctor’s guide of which accessories to take notice of, but remember style is yours and yours alone so use it as an extension of self… Footwear “A girl can never have too many…” that’s right folks and the rush is on to preen your feet, as this summer’s sandals are barely there. Give your feet a breather and select shoes which are strappy and ultra-feminine. Choose a subtle colour palate and walk out with confidence with styles from thong to gladiatorial. As fashion is so diverse the other stand out option is the white trainer. These can be worn with practically anything from wedding dresses to cropped wide leg trousers. These are both comfortable and chic and totally timeless. Belts and Bags You can kill two birds here by opting for a belt bag, which everyone may remember from the 90’s going by another less desirable name! The 2019 update is genius, as they now come in beautiful leathers with multiple pockets and compartments. The best way to sport them is slung over your shoulder or worn on the hips for a spot of nostalgia. My advice where belts and bags are concerned is be daring and go for a wild card – pick that patterned “pony skin” belt or that mustard hobo bag, as these are the touches that scream summer and elevate that LBD. Be Jewelled Hooped earrings and tasselled necklaces evoke dreamy summer nights and far flung shorelines. We don’t need to get on a plane to adorn our wrists with metallic bangles and feathery flourishes… Find your inner peacock (ignore the fact that the pretty ones are male!) and express yourselves with the most powerful weapons in your fashion arsenal… Please pick up next month’s issue for Dress Doctor’s pick of the new season’s Menswear

Do you own a conservatory
not fit for purpose? Advertisement Feature
There are literally many 1000’s of home owners throughout the UK who own a conservatory, the majority being practically useless through the summer and winter months. Is this you?
5% VAT plus £600 off The majority of conservatories installed during the late 80’, 90’s and early 2000 will have a polycarbonate roof. A roof with no insulation value and virtually zero protection from direct sunlight. A room that is far too hot during summer and has a fridge effect in winter. More and more home owners are opting to have a more thermally efficient roof installed. There are tiled roof options available, the tiles will usually be a composite material with various fitting options available, some are a complete roof replacement and others are where the existing roof stays in place. High-Tech are convinced that is a good practice to remove the existing roof. High-Tech completely remove the existing roof leaving just the windows and doors of the conservatory. They construct a timber frame roof, exactly the same as if you had a new extension built; timber joists are then reinforced to accept a glass lantern. The roof is boarded and warm roof insulation is fitted along with new external UPVC roof line and guttering products. It is then made permanently water tight with the lifetime guaranteed flat roof system.
The glass aluminium thermally efficient roof lantern is installed. Followed by internal installation of a new conventional plaster board ceiling along with lighting etc. The ceiling is plastered ready for painting. High-Tech create a luxurious orangery style room. The glass lantern will not only offer the WOW factor, you will also have the natural light required. Bring your conservatory back to life, add value to your home and enjoy the comforts.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 5% VAT. Yes, because you would be upgrading your thermal element you only pay 5% VAT. ALONG WITH FURTHER £600 DISCOUNT making it a great time to replace your conservatory roof with High-Tech.

GARDEN VIEW Scaling the Wall - Clematis What do you think of if I say ‘clematis’? I think most of us would think of the large, purpleflowered, “Jackmanii” or the rampant, bronzeleafed, pink-flowered montana rubens. They are both terrific plants, but I think they are a little over-used. Clematis is known as the ‘Queen of Climbers’. It can be utterly spectacular and should definitely not be relegated to trellis. It can used for covering fences and arbours, old tree stumps, sheds and even in beds and borders. Choose wisely and you can have flowers from early spring until late autumn. For beds and borders you don’t want anything as vigorous as montana, which will smother everything it touches. Instead choose a daintier one such as a variety of texensis or viticella. The flowers of the texensis hybrids look like finely cut bells. “Etoile Rose” is a beautiful dark pink edged with paler pink and “Princess of Wales” is a beautiful rosy red. Both of these will scramble through shrubs and flower all summer. They die back in winter so can be tidied up then. Viticella hybrids produce flowers which look like little pixie hats as they open. “Minuet” has purple and white flowers suspended on fine stems while “Purpurea Plena Elegans” produces double blooms which open into little purple rosettes. One of the most difficult sites to find climbers for is an east or north facing site. My absolute favourite clematis thrives in this situation and flowers in early spring. Clematis alpina “Pink Flamingo” produces nodding, semi-double, creamy flowers veined with deep pink. It has the added bonus of producing beautiful fluffy seed heads after the flowers fade. Clematis prefers its feet in the shade and its head in the sun. Make sure the plant’s roots are shaded: pieces of broken flagstone are ideal, or an old cracked upside-down terracotta pot with the bottom knocked out. When clematis is happy it will flower prolifically. Large-flowered clematis tend to produce a second flush in the autumn, but others like tangutica and orientalis wait to flower until then. Both of these are very vigorous and are great for covering unsightly sheds or old trees. Finally, if you have a sheltered spot against a wall try cirrhosa balearica. This is a beautiful, winterflowering variety with ferny foliage and palegreen flowers spotted with crimson. So, there it is…my clematis lecture. Hopefully you took notes and are ready to branch out into a whole new world of climbers. Happy gardening,

AVOIDING EXAM STRESS HOW TO COME OUT ON TOP It used to be thought that being a child meant living through the happiest days of your life. How times change. Now, with league tables, SATS, and GCSEs, many children are falling victim to stress. So, if you (or your children, if you’re a parent reading this) are feeling pressured, with nowhere to turn, we have some great tips to help you get through exam season relatively unscathed. FIRST A FEW WORDS ABOUT STRESS. Stress is caused by the way our body responds to outside events, not necessarily by the events themselves. Some stress is good: adaptive stress releases adrenaline and helps us to rise to a challenge. It’s a temporary state and the body returns to normal very quickly. Problem stress occurs when the body stays in a heightened state for a prolonged period of time. It’s this type of stress which is causing problems for today’s children. Unlike when we were young and exams were end-of-term or even end-of year events, today’s child has seemingly relentless pressure to perform all year round with the result that they get very little down-time in which their body can recover from all that adrenaline. Not everyone suffers in the same way from stress. Some children seem to cope with it well. Research has shown that these children are generally more positive, have a good sense of humour and have parents who themselves deal well with potentially stressful situations. Finally, it’s useful to understand that while exams are important, they are not worth
making yourself ill over. You can always sit them again. EXAM BUSTING TIPS! Get plenty of rest - sleep is important Take regular breaks - you’ll stay fresher Leave time for some fun - when you’ve reached your revision goal reward yourself with an activity you enjoy Be realistic - Don’t overdo it Eat properly - avoid caffeinated drinks like coffee or coke. Exercise - It’s a great stress buster and improves your mood Be nice to yourself - Don’t beat yourself up about the things you haven’t done, be positive about all you’ve achieved Relax - When it all gets too much just chill for a while. You’ll feel much better.

FIT AT FIFTY AND BEYOND Attention over-fifties! When was the last time you visited a gym? You kind of know you should be making an effort, right? But do excuses such as ‘too expensive’; ‘lack of time’, and ‘no motivation’, sound familiar? Or maybe like me you have a pathological fear of lycra? But assuming you have no major health problems we can tackle this issue in bite-size chunks. Motivation. This is the key. You need a specific goal. Time. Look in your diary and you will find a spare hour at least once, or better still, two or three times a week. Cost. Can be as expensive or affordable as you want. A ladies-only gym with a personal trainer can be expensive, but a mixed gym membership in off-peak hours brings the cost down considerably and you can still get instruction and advice from an on-site trainer. Clothing. Lycra isn’t compulsory, but clothes must be comfortable, and this includes your undergarments. Remember, it’s not a fashion parade and chafed tender bits will put you off exercise forever! If you’re feeling hesitant repeat to yourself, “I can do this; I want a healthier and fitter me; I have the time to do this”. This is your Mantra. Say it often enough and you will start to believe it. Don’t be put off by glum folk who say it’s all a waste of time. Mix with positive people who will encourage you and improve your self-esteem. Metabolism slows down as you get older and this can lead to weight gain, but exercise helps keep weight on an even keel because you build lean muscle. You also improve your immune system and cardiovascular system; reduce bad cholesterol and boost brain-power. Research shows that only 32% of men and 21% of women aged over 50 in England undertake some
form of regular exercise. In the over-65’s this drops to 17% of men and 12% of women, and in Scotland the figures are even less! The trainers at your Gym will discuss the best way to get you back into shape. If you haven’t exercised before or for a long while they will advise that you start slowly and build up gradually. Good instructors are enthusiastic and welltrained and will arrange a set of exercises to suit to you. Before you know it, you’ll have a routine e.g. 5 minutes bike, 5 minutes treadmill, 5 minutes weights. It will only take a few sessions before you improve and begin to compete with yourself. You’ll notice the benefits of improved posture; glowing skin; improved breathing, zest and vitality almost immediately. We are all living longer but perhaps we should also be aiming to live more healthily too.
