es it’s a bumper two month issue with an eight week break until you receive another Handy Mag. Ah summer holidays! Let’s hope the weather improves. Whilst this issue has been at print we’ve been getting ourselves settled in at 18F Market Place, our lovely new offices. Nicky and I have separate offices which will be a first. We have been used to chatting across our computer screens whilst working at the same time but will now have to get up and walk around – or shout! I’d like to apologise now to everyone else in the building when we are heading towards a frantic print deadline! Separate offices also means that we can decorate them differently. Nicky promises a floral and cosy space, whilst I know mine will probably be more functional, but with more space we aim to be more organised and efficient. Well that’s the aim! Feel free to drop in

and see us between 9 and 3.30 most days. There is a post box on the ground floor for all those competition entries, but if you’d like to hand them in personally, our office door is on the first floor. This month we were invited to try out the new Energi York trampoline park at Poppleton. You can read all about our family trip on page 36. It was great fun and well worth a visit. If you’re looking for something to do in the next few weeks there’s a whole host of events and activities to keep you and your family occupied, whatever your age. For local businesses and services please have a look through the Handy Mag and our busy index, and if you have received a great service from one of our advertisers, feel free to let us know. The deadline for our October issue is 6th September so it’s not really that long until we’ll be back! Well done to Mr Nichol of Pickering for winning our June competition. See you in September

RYEDALE WALKING GROUP

CELEBRATE THEIR 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

yedale Walking Group was founded by four people in September 2006.

FOR MORE INFORMATION

Our aim was “To promote the enjoyment of fresh air at minimal cost and to keep local public rights of way open by using them”.

Go to our website at www.ryedalewalking. com where you can find our walk programme and the latest updates on forthcoming walks.

We became an independent organised walking club in 2009 when we adopted a constitution, elected a committee and became affiliated to The Ramblers’, who safeguard walkers’ interests in the UK.

Alternately telephone 01751 476380, 01723 371700 or 01751 474344 for more information.

When we started out we had just two walk leaders and we organised two led walks each month for our 30 members. We now have 100 plus members and organise at least one walk every weekend all year round and on some evenings during the summer.

Ryedale Walking Group continues to go from strength to strength as an integral part of the Ryedale Community.

We usually have up to twenty members out on our walks, with distances varying from five miles to fifteen miles. Two walking holidays are organised each year, one of which is in the UK, the other in mainland Europe. In 2015 our holidays were in Mallorca and on Hadrian’s Wall. This year we have organised walking holidays in the Czech Republic and Derbyshire. Our varied programme of walks are mostly based in Ryedale, the Howardian Hills AONB, the North York Moors National Park and the Yorkshire Wolds. Every few months we travel further afield to the Yorkshire Dales or the Lake District, sharing cars wherever possible. We hold regular social events such as visits to pubs for meals, a barbecue and an Xmas dinner walk. We support two charities, Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team and the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Potential new members are always welcome to join us for their first walk free of charge. Just turn up for your first walk with good strong footwear for walking on uneven surfaces, the right clothing to suit the day and the season, and a packed lunch. An annual membership fee, currently £7, is then payable on your next walk. 6 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

It’s called FOCUS ON LIVING. Electric fireplaces continue to rise in popularity, and for this reason Focus have created a new showroom specifically to display a large selection of them. It is often true that when customers have chosen to install a new fireplace, a decision has been made to give their room a total makeover as well. That’s when a visit to FOCUS ON LIVING would bring plenty of inspiration and offer some practical solutions. In addition to all the stunning electric fireplaces on display, FOCUS has introduced a carefully

timber wall panels - all made in the Focus factory. These can be used to make a stunning feature wall or a decorative panel.

Lighting is an important factor in creating the right ambience in a room, and the large selection of wall and ceiling lighting will certainly not disappoint. There are over forty stylish table lamps to choose from and, of course, all the lighting comes complete with energy saving LED bulbs.

If you are doing a total refit and changing your electrical sockets and switches there are some unique designs that would give your room a particularly individual style. For the final flourish – you can choose from an inspirational mix of occasional furniture, mirrors, clocks and stylish ornaments.

Whilst they are supported financially by Ryedale District Council, North Yorkshire County Council, Town and Parish Councils and other grant making trusts, in the current financial year the shortfall in income means that CAR will have to reduce its faceto-face advice service to clients.

Michelle Fletcher, who joined as a volunteer in 2012, but is now a paid staff member, said ‘CAB volunteering provides individuals with an opportunity they might not otherwise have had, to develop their personal skills and abilities.

Chief Officer, Sue Bywater said ‘in the first six months of 2016, CAR has seen a 28% increase in the numbers of people seeking assistance with a huge range of issues affecting their lives. It is a

The company, based locally, offers homeowners the opportunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Paul Robson explains: ‘Our watchwords are Quality,

Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served tradesmen so our customers are assured of the best job. Integrity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford.

KEEP CALM DRINK TEA Our monthly column by Andy Boxall, Minister of Elim Ryedale Church What makes us British? Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, Morris Dancers, Cream Tea, Wimbledon, Changing of the Guard, Turkey dinner at Christmas or drinking tea? Did you know as part of the process of becoming a British Citizen you have to answer 24 questions in 45 minutes based on the first chapters of a handbook called ‘Life in the UK’? I’ve just taken a sample test and got 83%, you need 75% to pass, phew! I was surprised at some of the questions I was asked including two questions about Henry VIII and seven questions about our political process. I was even asked how long Britain remained independent from the Roman Empire after Julius Caesar’s failed invasion in 55BC. Is this really the best way to test whether I’m suitable to be British or not? Now we have chosen the road to exit the EU our national identity will be questioned and redefined. Sadly, post EU referendum I hope the behaviour of the few doesn’t represent me or the majority of British citizens. This certainly won’t make us ‘Great’ Britain again! It seems to me, it is not what we know, or even believe that will define who we are; it is the way we behave born out of the values we hold. One core British value is the freedom of speech, the protection of an individual to hold and freely express an opinion without fear of retribution or persecution. As a Christian I highly value my freedom to believe and express my faith even when it differs from my fellow citizens. However, it is not my belief that causes the problem; it is the behaviour I choose to express my belief where surely we must find some British common ground? In 2011 the government defined British values as the values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. The challenge is not getting people to agree to these values but to agree on acceptable behaviour to express these values. This is a choice; behaviour is learnt, can be modified and improved. I hope Britain becomes ‘Great’ as we choose to behave with dignity, integrity, tolerance and love. Perhaps that’s why, we Brits keep calm and drink tea!

UPDATE YOUR PLANTING WITH HELP FROM NOEL KINGSBURY The Heritage & Learning Centre at Scampston Conservatory is delighted to be hosting two full day workshops with Noel Kingsbury, highly renowned garden writer, research and lecturer. Noel is best known for his promotion of naturalistic planting design in gardens and designed landscapes, and his collaboration with Dutch garden and landscape designer Piet Oudolf on books on planting design.

DAY ONE

DAY TWO

The Rabbit’s Eye View: A look at long term plant performance.

Planting Design with Perennials The second day will cover the basics of designing with perennials, using the Oudolf planting in Scampston Walled Garden for inspiration and lessons.

This full-day garden-based workshop aims at encouraging participants to observe garden and landscape plants, focussing on their growth through the year, looking at how they compete with each other.

Choosing plants for habitat, colour, structure and then combining them.

It will teach how to assess plants prospects for longevity and their suitability for a variety of garden locations.

Over two days, Noel will explore two themes in a course which is designed to appeal to both amateurs and those with more expertise. Attendees will also be able to explore Scampston Walled Garden, itself an award-winning example of Oudolf’s perennial planting.

It is with thanks to support from the Heritage and Lottery Fund that Scampston is able to offer this course for £50 per day, or £90 for both days – inclusive of lunch and refreshments.

Gardeners and designers can then use their experience and knowledge of plants to plan better for maximising their garden, and also reducing maintenance.

Big Boys Don’t Cry

s a young boy there were times when I cried. I cried when I was physically hurt, when I was bullied, when I didn’t get my own way and also when I felt lost and alone. Although I know I was comforted and didn’t always get my own way, I also know that I regularly received the message that ‘Big boys don’t cry’. This developed into a belief that as a male it was unacceptable to cry or even talk about feeling hurt as this was seen as being weak. A study of schoolboys carried out in 2002 found that boys believed that to be a man meant avoiding displaying any emotion that could be viewed as acting in a feminine way. Displays of emotion were directly linked to female traits and the schools reported that if boys

displayed such emotions they were subject to, and would subject others to intimidating bullying. Usually associated with younger children, the cliché ‘big boys don’t cry’ is an example of how a young boy may be denied a masculine identity purely because he has displayed what many view as a feminine emotion. If adolescent girls hold the monopoly on discussions relating to emotions, then by implication boys are restricted from such discussions. It is important to consider what this means for men and their emotional health e.g. depression.

I learnt to repress my tears for fear of experiencing the shame that came with crying in front of people. I now understand that I carried this belief and behaviour into my adolescence and on into adulthood. Perhaps then, a more helpful approach when in contact with a young boy who is expressing his emotions would be to encourage and give reassurance that in fact ‘Big Boys Do Cry’.

The suggestion seems to be that developing boys become emotionally speechless young men and therefore unable, even fearful, to express their emotions. This influences men’s ability to recognise their own emotional difficulties and how they

Dentures tend to get a bad press however they are one of the most cost effective methods of replacing teeth. One problem is that people tend not to replace them often enough so they become discoloured , loose by Christine Parker or worn. BDS (GDC 72136) If left a badly fitting denture can compromise the health of the adjacent teeth eventually causing further tooth loss. There are several ways these problems can be reduced. • Avoid denture breakages by putting a couple of inches of water in the sink when you clean them. • Use plain soap and a brush to clean the fit surface and the outer surface paying particular attention to the inside of the lower front teeth and the outside of the upper molars, these are areas where tartar builds up. • Rinse thoroughly before placing in plain water and if desired a lukewarm solution of denture cleaner. Not cleaning before soaking may cause the debris on your denture to fix onto the denture. • Avoid hot water it can bleach your dentures leaving the gum work looking very pale. • Clean the supporting teeth really well especially where they touch the denture. • Take your denture out at night. • See your dentist at least annually, they can help prolong the life of your remaining teeth and reline or replace your denture before it causes problems. So if your dentures could do with an overhaul then contact Jan at Howardian Dental and in August you will qualify for a free 20 minute Oral Health Session.

THE ALL NEW ROTARY RUN This new local 12km trail race, organised by Malton and Norton Rotary in association with Racing Welfare, starts at Norton College and will be held over the bridle ways, historic race course of Norton and the famous Langton Walled gallops: training ground of race horse champions.

The Langton Wold race meeting began before 1692 and, by the time of its loss to enclosure and the plough in 1862, it was regarded as one of the finest courses in England. National Hunt racing was revived once more after 1882 at Highfield, adjoining William l’Anson’s training grounds, close to the Beverley Road in Norton. Meets were held every year until 1903 when I‘Anson extended his training grounds onto the racecourse site. When William l’Anson’s Blink Bonnie won the Epsom Derby in 1857 “Malton church bells rang and the pubs stayed open all night! The trail race will be hand timed and recorded at www.ukresults.net. There is free parking and all amenities including registration at Norton College. Further details on the Malton and Norton Rotary website at http://bit.ly\OwteVt 30 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

Floating like a pennant far above, I watched your private reconnaissance. Free from all impediments, Displaying mastery and magnificence.

07747 023711

Rooks and jackdaws proved no match As they mockingly flew alongside. Taunting, they tried to impede your progress. With deftness of wing, you brushed them aside. Venturer of the skies, seeking out the thermals, Riding the updraughts, wheeling ever skyward. Tail feathers fanned, and elegant poise. Never faltering, -- Never wayward. Seeming to soar for the sheer joy of it, And I marvelled at such economy of flight. Hardly a wing beat aided your climb; Spiralling until out of sight. Plaintive, and filled with melancholy, A cry, synonymous with crag and fell. Speaking of solitude and solemnity, Of haunts where only the furtive dwell. What a varied mosaic your eyes must behold, A patchwork quilt, as you drift undeterred. When surveying all from such eminence, What are your thoughts, O secretive bird? Clive Milson

TRAVEL

SUPERSTITIONS

BY MARY MAHON

For many, a summer break is almost like a ritual each year; travelling is now so easy and accessible, people have a growing opportunity to explore the far reaches of the world. However for some, travelling is nerve-wracking. There are an abundance of situations where things can go wrong; planes falling, ships sinking, trains derailing! Yet around the world there are many superstitions to prevent bad luck when travelling. Numbers get a bad rap around the world, with certain numbers being deducted from rows on flights, or from room or floor numbers in hotels. Italy abhors the number ‘17’, as the Roman translation of VIXI, (an anagram of XVII) ‘I have lived’, suggests death, whilst in China, the Cantonese ‘4’ sounds like the word ‘death’ itself. Similarly, in the USA and the UK the number ‘13’ is an omen of bad luck, causing many airlines and hotels to abandon its use. Phrases, too, hold a certain power. In Norway ‘tvi tvi’ was used to put a curse on someone that you liked, the idea being that if somebody had already cursed you then the evil spirits had no reason to bother you. A polar idea developed in Ukraine with the belief that a few minutes of communal silence would bring a traveller good luck before their journey. Most drastic perhaps, were the solutions in Nepal to fix malfunctioning aircraft; farm animals were sacrificed to honour Akash Bhairab, the Hindu God of the Sky, ensuring a safe flight. Whilst there are a whole range of beliefs and superstitions around the world for travellers to test out, fear in the end is a state of mind. Logically, the risk of a travel catastrophe is incredibly low and the brief time spent travelling compared to the memories made on holiday is ultimately insignificant for most. Although I may still stick to crossing my fingers during the take-off... 34 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

about bouncing though. There are also games, foam pits, a dodgeball area, basketball hoops, giant airbag and an assault course.

With an age range from 6 to 49 across both of our families Energi York would be a test of entertainment for younger children to teenagers and adults. There aren’t many attractions that can appeal to such a wide range for a whole hour.

The children were off straight away. Max, age 6, was like a jack-in-the-box and Jack, 10, ran up and down the trampolines with ease. Both teenagers, Imogen (19) and Jared (16), headed for the assault course and the balance beam over a large foam pit where a duel ensued. Having not been particularly keen before arriving, both Dads made a very enthusiastic start, even trying some flips! Nicky and I were more cautious and it took us the whole hour to learn how to jump from one trampoline to the next!

Before getting on the trampolines everyone has to watch a sobering health and safety video and we nervously walked up the steps to face a huge indoor park filled with wall to wall trampolines. It’s not all

From getting stuck in the foam pit to flips on the gigantic pillow and Smith versus Whalen dodgeball that descended in to chaos, it was a full hour of laughing. And whilst an hour doesn’t sound like

orking at the Handy Mag we have some fantastic opportunities to visit events and attractions. Imagine our delight when Energi York, the new trampoline park at Nether Poppleton, asked us to give it a try. The park has been open since May and is full of shiny new interconnected trampolines.

“Absolutely brilliant – what a laugh!” Jack, age 10 36 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

long, we all crawled out at the end completely exhausted! One of the things that impressed us the most was that not only could all the activities be enjoyed by all ages, but the staff members were all friendly, helpful and kept a watchful but unobtrusive eye on everyone whilst we bounded, flipped and jumped around. Afterwards the café and viewing area is the perfect place to relax, recharge and indulge in locally sourced food and drink whilst laughing at everyone else’s attempts to trampoline! Energi York have really thought about how they can engage the wider community with structured sessions for under 5s, individuals with additional needs, women’s and men’s fitness, toddlers, teenage disco and Energi Club for over 18s.

Facial Acupuncture, Your Solution for a Non-surgical Facial Rejuvenation Paula Koeppen

re fine lines beginning to appear on your face? Are you feeling and looking drained and tired? Are you looking for a non-surgical facial rejuvenation to help you freshen up and diminish the signs of ageing? Look no further! Based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Facial Enhancement Acupuncture involves the insertion of very tiny needles into the acupuncture points on your face. Facial Acupuncture encourages increased blood circulation to your face and stimulate collagen production, which will gently fill out the lines and give firmness to your skin – keeping it fresh, firm and vibrant. Facial Acupuncture also boost the supply of oxygen, moisture and nutrients to your skin whilst toning your face muscles in a natural way.

Facial Acupuncture offers a holistic, alternative approach to combat ageing process by: • Reducing fine lines and soften deep facial lines • Minimise dark circles, puffy eyes • Firm chin lines, lift droopy eyelids Facial Acupuncture is effective in improving your complexion and skin tone by recapturing the freshfaced radiance and natural glow of youth. Unlike surgery, which may require a recovery period due to swelling and skin discoloration, there is no trauma from Facial Acupuncture as it is a natural and holistic anti-ageing treatment. As well as acupuncture points on the whole face, body points may also be used. A course of treatment is required to show pronounced results and people often report that they feel healthier, sleep better, have brighter eyes and feel more balanced.

Lycon Precision Waxing at

Number One Health and Beauty WHY CHOOSE LYCON PRECISION WAXING? Australia’s Lycon Wax contains the finest resins, natural ingredients and aromatherapy oils to deliver a superior performance, removing hairs as short as 1mm. Also with its low temperature it provides a much more comfortable treatment than most standard wax procedures. The wax literally shrink wraps around the hair and does not stick to the skin. When the wax is removed it pulls from the very root of the hair follicle, removing the dermalpapilla. This will prevent hair breakages, in - grown hairs, bruises and redness.

As I write this, the summer could best be described as changeable following on from a cool and damp spring. As usual the challenges of the British weather will result in some fruit crops struggling whilst others rise to the challenge and produce a surplus. The question then is what to do with a glut of one type of fruit? In 2012, a small group of volunteers in Kirkbymoorside got together to find a use for the surplus fruit that was often seen going to waste in gardens and orchards, and so the Kirkby fruit project was born. We started in a small way producing bottles of apple juice, jams and chutneys to raise funds for local causes but over the last four years our knowledge and skills have grown. We now have more than 20 regular volunteers of all ages and abilities and our repertoire has expanded to include other fruit products, cordials, grafted local heritage fruit trees and a very popular craft cider. We not only use the produce from our local fruit trees but have begun to research our fruit growing heritage in this area and graft new daughter trees from some of the old orchard varieties that are reaching the end of their lives. Our fruit project operates in the Kirkbymoorside area but many other areas in Ryedale will have surplus local fruit that could be used in a similar community project. Through a mixture of trial and error and the generous help of others we have learned a lot over the past four years (and made plenty of mistakes) and we are happy to pass on any of our skills and knowledge to help other communities just starting out on a similar venture. So why not get together with some friends and neighbours to start your own local fruit project this year. There is lots of information on our website www.kirkbyfruitproject. wordpress.com or contact us to have a chat.

GIANT MAZE CELEBRATES ROALD DAHL CENTENARY Roald Dahl fan and farmer Tom Pearcy has carved a giant image featuring some of the famous children’s author’s iconic characters into a 15 acre field of maize plants near York to create a giant maze. The York Maze celebrates 100 years of Roald Dahl who was born in 1916. Says Tom, “Roald Dahl’s stories speak to the child in us all. I wanted to pay my own special phizzwhizzing tribute to the amazing storyteller.”

The ‘bucket’ collection held after performances of Malton & Norton’s Musical Theatre Panto this year at The Milton Rooms raised a brilliant £500. This will be split between two local charities, Ryedale Leisure Club and Yorkshire Air Ambulance. 46 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

“Willy Wonka is definitely my favourite,” says Pearcy, “he relishes nonsense and reminds us that life is fun and we shouldn’t forget it. Much of what we aim to achieve here at York Maze.” Guest of honour to officially launch the maze was British actress Julie Dawn Cole who played Veruca Salt alongside Gene Wilder in the 1971 film ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’. York Maze is open from 16th July to 5th September. Visit www.yorkmaze.co.uk. Copy deadline for the next edition is Tuesday 6th September

More Than 200 Pickering Pick-YourOwners Hop Onboard Farm Shop’s New ‘Strawberry Express’

isitors to Cedarbarn Farm Shop & Café weren’t just picking their own fruit and veg last month they were tracking it down too, thanks to the farm shop’s new miniature railway! Crowds of families, local business people – and the Mayor of Pickering, Joan Lovejoy – turned out to take a trip on the award-winning farm shop’s new 600-metre train track, which quite literally gives a platform to its most famous crops.

MINIATURE RAILWAY NOW OPEN Take a ride on The New Flying Yorkshireman Loco, departing from the replica Victorian station, through Redgate Tunnel and around the 600 metre track. During each season you can stop off at the Fruit Field Station to pick a few Strawberries, Raspberries, Gooseberries etc Refreshments & Gourmet Burgers are available from our new Flying Yorkshireman Dining Cart (Fri, Sat & Sun). For opening times and events please check our website www.cedarbarnfarmshop.co.uk Tel. 01751 475614. Cedarbarn Farm Shop & Cafe, Thornton Rd. Pickering YO18 7JX

Buying their boarding passes at a replica Victorian railway station, passengers on ‘The Flying Yorkshireman’ were able to alight from the carriages to enjoy a spot of fruit picking along their journey around the farm. Mandy Avison, who runs the business alongside husband Karl and daughter Chloe said the day was a great success, especially as it raised £320 for a local charity. “We were so pleased to see so many people enjoying themselves and tucking into all the lovely seasonal produce,” says Mandy from Cedarbarn, which has recently been shortlisted for two national Red Ribbon Awards. “And also to raise so much money for Ryedale Special Families. You could say we were chuff, chuff, chuffed!” Cedarbarn’s Railway and Dining Cart will be open from July until October. Go to www.cedarbarnfarmshop.co.uk for more information.

YOUR LOCAL GARDENING GUIDE

Owner of Duncombe Sawmill heads to Buckingham Palace to receive MBE Helmsley businesswoman Emma Woods visited Buckingham Palace in June to receive her MBE from Princess Anne for services to rural business and skills in North Yorkshire. Emma, who owns Duncombe Sawmill, was on the 2016 New Year’s Honours list and was invited to Buckingham Palace on 22nd June for her investiture. She was accompanied by her husband William, their two daughters Milly and Isabelle, and her parents Nigel and Jackie Packer. In 2003, as a customer of Duncombe Sawmill, she received a letter saying the 100 year old Helmsleybased business was closing. With no previous industry experience, Emma took it over and has spent 13 years creating a niche timber business which focuses on its core strengths to manufacture good quality British products.

The sawmill uses locally sourced FSC timber to create gates, fencing, outdoor furniture and timber framed buildings using traditional woodworking techniques. By taking on the business Emma ensured valuable skills, passed down through generations for well over a century, were not lost forever. Emma, 48, said: “It was such an amazing experience to be given the award. I’m so glad my family could be there as obviously they’ve played a huge part in everything that has happened in the last decade. I just wish the wonderful team at the sawmill could have come along too! They have taught me so much and been instrumental in me receiving the award. I have also had wonderful support from the community in Helmsley, it’s a fantastic place to be based. “Taking the sawmill on was a risky decision but it was something I am very glad I did. It hasn’t been plain sailing, it’s been a lot of hard work. We manufacture items that people can’t get elsewhere and we have customers from around the world. We’re always moving forward and developing new ideas, whilst not losing our traditional values, which are so very important in a business such as ours. Hopefully the sawmill will still be thriving another 100 years on from now.” 62 • info@thehandymag.co.uk

GARDEN VIEW By Rachael Leverton

We all love flowers. They’re what gardening is all about and the fact that they tend to be relatively short-lived makes them special. But a garden can’t survive on flowers alone. It needs to look attractive all year round. This is where friendly foliage plants come in to their own. Many non-evergreen plants have beautiful showy foliage between April and November and we’d be mad not to take full advantage of it. Rodgersia pinnata is an excellent example. It has huge, attractive bronze, leathery leaves which are almost sculptural in appearance. Hostas have truly beautiful leaves

but I’ve tried and failed with them on many occasions because my garden is home to a race of superslugs who seem able eat hostas faster than I can plant them! I’ve had some success with the variety “Frances Williams” which is less prone to attack though I still need to go on slug patrol every evening!

are some wonderfully attractive varieties. Try Miscanthus sinensis “Zebrinus”. The leaves look like green ribbons, striped with yellow and reach chest height. Cut it down to ground level each February.

I have had tremendous success with ferns, the most useful plants for shade. My favourite is the ostrich-plume fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris. Plant them under trees and shrubs and watch the stunning lime-green foliage unfold each spring.

Finally, if you have the space, for real in-your-face foliage try the golden-leaved Catalpa bignonioides “Aurea”. Grow it as a large bush. Prune each stem back to a sprouting bud around kneeheight each spring. It will reward you with leaves as big as Frisbees! Now that’s really funky foliage.

Many people forget grasses when they think about foliage but there

A BIG THANK YOU! Ryedale Dog Rescue would like to say thank you to all our supporters who have helped to run and attended our events this summer and a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who came to our fun dog show at Scampston. Your support helped us to raise over ÂŁ2000 and every penny will be used to help rescue more dogs and look after the ones in our care. Our work never stops though and we have lots more events planned for the lead up to Christmas including a charity auction, quizzes and fun dog show so please keep an eye on our website and Facebook page to see what we are up to.

DOGS OF THE MONTH: LUCY & HAZEL Collies Lucy and Hazel are approx two years old and were found together with a note asking for them to be re-homed together.

Remember, there are many ways you can help... You can rescue a dog, volunteer with us, foster for us, fundraise or give a monthly donation. It all helps us to save dogs lives!

As an owner of a cat myself I know it’s inevitable that you will have to take your cat to the vets’, be it for an annual vaccination, health check, neutering or if your beloved kitty becomes ill. Cats are independent, territorial and need to feel in control of their surroundings. A visit to the vets’ is likely to cause all cats a certain degree of stress. At Station House Vets we are in the final stages of preparing to become an accredited cat-friendly practice. Our team will care for your cat gently, respectfully and with the correct professional skills. We will also endeavour to make your visits as stress-free as possible for both you and your cat. Stress can begin before you step though the practice door, with the ordeal of transporting your cat being potentially difficult and upsetting for all! It is important to transport your cat in a secure and robust pet carrier. If the carrier is an open/mesh design, partially cover it with a cloth or towel. Familiarise your cat with the carrier by storing it in the house. Putting some bedding that smells of home in the carrier can also have a calming effect or try rubbing your cat’s face with a soft cloth to pick up scent, then rubbing the cloth around the carrier and leaving it inside. Sprays that can help calm your cat include synthetic cat scents or pheromones such as Feliway’ or ‘Pet Remedy,’ both available from Station House Vets. When travelling, ensure that the pet carrier is secured so that it can’t move around. Drive carefully as your cat can pick up on your stress, and keep noise and sharp movements to a minimum so as not to startle them. If your cat panics, you could wrap them loosely in a blanket or towel within the carrier to make them feel safe. Once you have arrived at the surgery you will find a separated waiting area especially for you and your cat, with an elevated shelf to place pet carriers on. Or, if you would prefer to wait in the car with your cat, we are happy to come and get you when the vet is ready. If requested in advance, we will endeavour to give your cat an appointment when there are no dogs booked in to the surgery. We hope our continuing efforts make our practice a calm and cat friendly place, and we look forward to seeing you and your cat soon.

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Paul McGeechan feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Malton, Norton, Kirkbymoorside, Pickering & Helmsley

areas and Paul is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family

of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!
