Editors Letter
F
or better, or simply for the sake of change and aesthetics, you will, I hope, notice a major difference in the magazine this month! No prizes here, but after over 6 years of having an advert on the front cover, I’ve decided for future issues to run with a cover photograph of the area. This month is a photo of last years War Weekend in Pickering – taking place on the 14-16 October this year – and was taken by Alex Yoxall Photography based in Pickering. In small part, I hope, the change will help build the feeling that the Handy Mag is much more than a directory, and provide appeal to everyone through its content of local community organisations and events, articles and business editorials. Come September, as I’m writing this, and the weather and days are become distinctly autumnal; the leaves are turning and my other half is reminding me

of the value of jumpers versus the cost of oil. Easy for him when in he is off working in Tanzania or some other faraway place, and I’m in my office at home, all day wrapped in woollies! Whilst Autumn is a beautiful time, and ‘autumnal’ a rather beautiful word, it comes with its consequences. So plan ahead, and be prepared for winter by ordering your wood and coal, cleaning your chimney and servicing your boiler. It’s the girl guide in me! But have you noticed the masses of berries in the hedgerows? Is this an omen of a hard winter to come? If you have any comments about the magazine please send them to me at the email address below - especially if they are nice ones! Well done to Mr Hunter of Pickering for winning the August competition. Until next month,

Malton’s exciting new shop for contemporary interiors and stylish accessories You’re not seeing double on Malton Market Place. Stitches Interiors is celebrating two anniversaries – by expanding to two stores.
T
he soft furnishing company which has been established since 1981 celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, and Sarah Clark, director and interior designer, celebrated five years ownership of the business in September. The new store, ‘Interiors at Nine to Eleven’ is just a few doors away at 9-11 Market Place. It is a full interior design showroom featuring inspiring arrangements of furniture, fabrics and accessories as they would be found in the home. There will be a huge range of hand-made items and off-the-shelf pieces to suit every taste and budget, specially selected by Sarah. Sarah said “We thought we would celebrate this double anniversary by branching out and expanding – making more room for customers to enjoy the beautiful items we have in stock. We’re taking a new, exciting approach to interior design with the new store, in which it will almost feel as though we’re personally designing the look of your new home. There are surprises in every corner – the biggest surprise will be if you walk in and don’t find something you love!”
The celebration also included the re-launch of the original Stitches store, which will now focus even more strongly on beautiful soft furnishings and a wider choice than ever of cushions, throws, quilts, curtains and fabrics. There is plenty of cross-over between the two stores – it will be a challenge to visit number 17 without wandering over to 9-11, or vice versa! Stitches was already a well established home furnishing store when Sarah took over. She brought her own creative flair with her and gradually turned it into a design centre, featuring a full complement of accessories, lighting, wallpaper

– everything you need to make a comfortable and beautiful home. Customers can receive tailored, expert advice on both shop floors and in the home, complete with a fitting service. Sarah’s team comprises the highly experienced shop floor staff, plus carefully selected curtain makers fitters and upholsterers. Together, the Stitches team has a well-established reputation for top-quality products, attention to detail and impeccable customer service. Whether you need a final touch to complete a room, a specially designed one-off piece or a full interior design service from conception to completion, Sarah Clark and the Stitches team can help. Sarah’s passion is to give a design-led, bespoke service which goes hand in hand with ‘old-fashioned’ customer service. Customers receive a traditional, personal service
when they are in store in which staff take the time to help them find exactly the right touch for their home. The personal touch is so important that the next project Sarah hopes to tackle is creating a design studio where she can sit down with clients and really help them create a stunning interior in their home. Sarah added “When we are working with a client, we really pride ourselves on working as hard at the client relationship as we do on the design project. When a new customer comes in the shop, it is the start of a journey, for them and us. We have many repeat customers who have really enjoyed working with myself or a member of the Stitches team”. Sarah herself began her design journey with art school and an apprenticeship with an interior decorator, followed by a period working in construction and with her husband’s electri-
cal contracting company. She refreshed her design skills at Leeds University and followed up by taking on Stitches in 2006. When she’s not running her stores in Malton, Sarah can be found at the helm of large commercial interior design projects at hotels and guest houses around the country. She has designed beautiful suites, rooms and reception areas on many of these projects and this year was taken on to project manage the refurbishment of the 21 bedroom Astor wing at Hever Castle in Kent.

Modern Dentistry Traditional Service COMFORT, QUALITY, CONVENIENT
T
he Howardian Dental Practice is a new practice specially comissioned to serve the community of the Howardian Hills and surrounding area. Dr Christine Parker BDS who hails form County Durham has lived in the locality for the past 10 years and has founded the surgery after recognising the need for a good quality, local and modern dental service. By providing access outside of normal working hours with appointments from 8am on some days and a late evening surgery on others, Christine encourages busy people to attend regularly for their essential dental care without having to use up their valuable holiday entitlement. Combined with ample free parking, fully disabled access and minimal travel costs Christine believes that private dentistry is a realistic option for many people. Christine is known and trusted by her existing patients, many of whom have moved practice with her in the past. They appreciate her expertise, quality of care and
customer service. “Here at The Howardian we prioritise patient care and comfort with traditional service values.” explains Christine. “Because we are a low volume, single surgery practice we do not have the high numbers of patients seen at other practices and therefore have the time to ensure your comfort and fully diagnose and discuss your dental requirements.” With a view to reducing your future need for dental treatment The Howardian also provides Oral Health Education, individualy tailored to your needs. Christine says that by doing this they aim to encourage patients into good habits, be they children or mature adults with a complex history of dental treatment. “We believe everyone can achieve a comfortable, functional and aesthetic mouth and dentition. We have a wealth of experience in transforming worn and diseased teeth into mouths patients can be proud of,” Christine says. By using quality dental materi-

als and proven, modern techniques Christine aims to provide pain free treatment and durable restorations thereby reducing your need for future treatment. Whilst Christine’s main passion is general dentistry she also has several years experience in Non Surgical Facial Rejuvenation, that is wrinkle reduction, non-permanent facial fillers and facial peeling. These techniques can be used to subtly enhance your features restoring contour and vitality . Christine has many patients who expressed their delight with their treatment over the years and these include Mr John Priestley BDS (retd) whose video testimonal can be seen on the practice website. For more information and to see a video of the practice please visit www.howardiandental.co.uk, or contact the surgery on 01347 878111. “We look forward to seeing you and impressing you with our care, service and comittment.”

Autumn Fruit Slump
Although we’ve seen the last of the summer berries there’s plenty of seasonal fruit around: pears, apples, blueberries, plums and damsons, and of course wild blackberries. For the photo recipe I used 800g cooking apples, 100g blackberries and 300g blueberries – but any combination works well, aim for a kilo to a kilo and a half of fruit for 4 – 6 people.
01904 468777 16 • info@thehandymag.co.uk
Ingredients 1-1½ kilos fruit – peel, core and finely slice apples and pears and destone and halve plums and damsons. 4 tablespoons caster sugar 250g tub of mascarpone 175g self raising flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 lemon – grate the zest and squeeze the juice 50g melted butter 2 or 3 tbsp milk Method • Place the apples, pears or plums in a saucepan with a little water and 2 of the tbsps of sugar and bring slowly to the boil. Cook for a few minutes until the fruit just begins to soften. • Tip into a large ovenproof dish and add the blueberries and blackberries. Leave to cool. • Beat the mascarpone until smooth and using 2 spoons dollop 6 spoons of mascarpone onto the cooled fruit – don’t spread them together. • Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl, add the lemon zest and 2 tbsps sugar. • Add the melted butter and 2 or 3 tbsps of milk and combine to get a loose scone type mixture. Again using 2 spoons top each mascarpone blob with a dollop of the scone mixture. • Bake in a preheated oven (220C/425F/gas mark 7) for 20- 25 minutes until the scones are golden and the fruit is bubbling. • Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Just add
water T here are two schools of thought when it comes to bathing, with brisk efficiency at one end of the spectrum and utter hedonism at the other. But why not enjoy both? The modern bathroom can be a well-appointed and agreeable place in which to cleanse both body and mind, a room which is perfectly functional and also a peaceful sanctuary in which to relax, reflect and refresh. When designing a new bathroom it’s essential to start with the practicalities before
moving onto the aesthetics. Consider who will use the room and how frequently, what fixtures you’d like and how much space is available. In a small room, for example, you may need to install a showerbath rather than a separate bath and walk-in shower, site the loo elsewhere and use specially designed, spacesaving fittings. It is always a good idea to plan the room carefully on graph paper, noting the positions of pipes, windows and doors. Bathroom fittings are
Whether it’s large or small, contemporary or classic, brightly coloured or plain and simple, you can combine the practical and the indulgent to create a bathroom haven that’s as luxurious as it is good-looking, says Katherine Sorrell.

october 2011 • issue 71 available in a multitude of styles and prices, but simplicity is often the best option: plain, inexpensive designs can look wonderful when teamed with interesting accessories, and a sensible option is to invest more in moving parts such as shower doors and taps, while saving (within reason) by buying simple white ceramics. How a bathroom feels is vital, in terms of textures and temperatures against bare skin, and underfloor heating gives an efficient, overall heat while freeing up space against the walls – perhaps for a statement towel warmer. Lighting is also vital in creating an efficient atmosphere for a quick morning shower, or a more relaxing ambience for an evening bath. You may need two types of lights: bright, directional spots for shaving or applying makeup, and gentle background lighting for
relaxing in the tub. You can highlight certain features, shine lights up or down on different areas, and use colour-changing LEDs or a whole range of other effects. As for walls, by varying the colours, shapes or styles of tilework you can highlight or separate different areas, or you could use sheet materials such as Corian or Silestone for a seamless effect that’s pricey but beautiful. Current trends in bathroom design include walk-in and extra-large showers, coloured baths and basins and sleek, minimal accessories. There’s also a growing demand for storage cabinets that coordinate with fitted bedroom furniture, giving a unified look, especially from a master bedroom to an en-suite, while hiding the clutter that you don’t really want to see. With some careful thought and planning, plus a little inspiration, you
can combine furniture and fittings, walls and floor, lighting and heating, to create a room that reflects your individual style and offers an experience that is warm and welcoming, comfortable, clean and calm.

HOMES & GARDENS Bathroom checklist Consider all these points when planning a bathroom: • How much space is available? • Who will use the room and when? • What fittings would you like to install and, if there isn’t room for all of them, what is the best way to compromise? • What is your budget? • What style would you like overall? • What type of hot-water Antonio suite: free-standing bath + chrome feet, £1,500; closed-coupled toilet, £1400; 1 tap hole pedestal basin, £700; all B&Q, 0845 850 0175; www.diy.com system do you have? • Where will you place the water pipes, the soil pipe and the air extraction? • What are your lighting and heating requirements? • How much storage do you need, and do you prefer the fitted or unfitted look? • How will you buy and fit the bathroom – purchase from the internet and do it yourself, co-ordinate the various tradespeople (electrician, plumber, carpenter, plasterer, tiler, painter etc), use a local fitter, or buy an all-in-one package from a showroom? Bear in mind that delivery times can be up to six weeks.

Birthday Celebrations at It’s party time at Pure Car Mechanics as owners Kev Morris and Ange Snowden celebrate the business’ second birthday.
A
nd they are raising glasses to the customers who have helped make them so successful – and vowing to continue their fantastic service for many more years to come! Pure Car Mechanics is a family business that has always put customers’ safety, convenience and budget at the heart of everything it does. That means making sure your car is safe for the winter, which is fast approaching. The first frost is not the time to get your winter check done – so book into Pure Car Mechanics now for your complimentary winter check. Lights, tyres and fluid levels in your anti-freeze, brakes and screenwash are checked and topped up while you wait. They always carry a huge selection of bulbs in stock, so you can avoid the hassle of a return trip to get your lights sorted out. Pure Car Mechanics provide a high standard of complete garage services including vehicle servicing and repairs, MOT service and vehicle diagnostics. They invested in a tyre machine earlier this year which enables them to supply and fit tyres at competitive prices. Plus, you won’t just receive an ordinary service at Pure Car Mechanics. Whatever the make or model of your car, the service is carried out to an industry-
Kev and Ange with their family at their successful Pickering garage
standard checklist which goes above and beyond the oil and filter changes. Brakes, tyres and under the bonnet are all checked, and if something does need fixing or replacing, they use original standard parts – which means your warranty is protected without you needing to make a trip to the dealer. Finally, they’ll make sure your service book is stamped, maintaining your car’s full service history. If they do discover something in your car, no work will be carried out without your permission – they’ll always call with a price estimate so there’s no nasty shocks when you receive the bill at the end of the day. In addition to all this, Pure Car Mechanics quite literally go the extra mile to help you out. Forget the hassle
of organising a lift or catching a bus back from the garage once you’ve dropped the car off – they will come to your home or workplace, collect the car and return it at a time to suit you. And if you can’t be without your wheels for the day, there’s a loan car available for your use. Contact Pure Car Mechanics on 01751 475794, visit www. purecarmechanics.co.uk or call in at Westgate Business Park, Westgate Carr Road, Pickering, YO18 8LX.

MOTORING CAR makers. Give them their due, they normally produce some rather good motors. But occasionally – very occasionally – disasters that should have remained in the design studio slip by James Baggott, editor of Car Dealer through the net. Magazine (CarDealerMag.co.uk)
Quiet disasters Renault Koleos
You only have to look over the fence to sister firm Nissan to see that crossovers can be successful – try and order a Qashqai or Juke now and you’ll be looking at a rather long wait. So it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why the Renault Koleos flopped. Renault launched it in 2008 and by 2010 it had been axed, selling just 2,890. The Qashqai, by comparison, sold 9,253 models in March alone.
Citroen C6
We all know that large French saloons haven’t been the most popular cars in Britain. Despite this, Citroen launched the C6 in 2006 with phrases like ‘freethinking’, ‘svelte’, and ‘unmistakable’ in its marketing bumpf. From its launch to the end of 2010, Citroen sold just 889 units – the E60 BMW 5 Series sold ten times as many in the same period. But Citroen always said it had expectations the C6 would find homes ‘in the hundreds, rather than thousands’.
Chrysler Sebring
Chrysler had its eye on entering the Dsegment back in 2007 – and thought the Sebring was the answer. It wasn’t. The press packs said it combined ‘striking design with interior craftsmanship’ with ‘great performance’ thrown in for good measure. The public disagreed and bought only 2,652 of them before it slipped off the price lists in 2009. In the same period, Ford sold 126,368 units of the Mondeo.
Subaru Tribeca
Like Renault, Subaru believed it needed an SUV in its range. So, in 2006, along came the Tribeca. Intended to offer a ‘practical SUV with great handling and a sporty drive’ it failed to find buyers. A face-lift in 2008 did nothing to improve sales and it bowed out that year with just 750 sold. In contrast, the Volvo XC90 – a car Subaru was competing with – sold 11,897 units in the same three years.
Toyota Urban Cruiser
The Toyota Urban Cruiser went on sale in May 2009. Designed to meet a ‘growing 28 • info@thehandymag.co.uk
demand for vehicles that are cut out for life on urban roads’ it didn’t do the job. Sales at the end of 2010 were 3,017 – the maker had planed to shift 2,000 units a year.
Chrysler Crossfire
Launched with great fanfare in 2003, the Crossfire was Chrysler’s sports car for the masses. Based on the firstgeneration Mercedes SLK, it came in coupe and convertible forms with retro American styling. However, only 4,544 units were sold in five years, and the Crossfire quietly died in 2008. In contrast the SLK sold 4,362 units in 2004 alone.
Vauxhall Signum
More than just a cut-down Vectra, the Signum was intended to offer the executive experience in an otherwise humdrum Vauxhall and arrived in 2003. But almost five years to the day, Vauxhall called time on the Signum, axing it with just 17,344 sales to its name. This was ‘on target’ according to the firm but industry experts say it was well off what was originally planned.
Ford Cougar
Along with the Focus, the Cougar was one of the cars that demonstrated Ford’s ‘new edge’ look in the late 90s. Available with the Mondeo’s 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre petrol engines, the Cougar was loved by the press. Sadly, the public wasn’t convinced – the lack of a prestige badge meant sales totaled 13,958 in four years. In contrast, the BMW 3 Series Coupe sold 44,420 between ’98 and ’02, showing a badge makes all the difference.
Mercedes-Benz R-Class
Billed as a car that combined ‘an SUV, sports saloon, and luxury estate car’ into one package, the Mercedes R-Class arrived in 2005 hoping to carve a niche of its own. It was such a niche that few Brits bought it, and even a makeover in 2010 did little to improve the 3,433 sales clocked up so far. Mercedes says those numbers are ‘in-line with expectations’, but we’re not so sure about that…

Kitchen & bedroom designs to suit you
T
he people who are best qualified to speak for the benefits of Instyle Kitchens and Bedrooms are its customers. In fact, owner Gary Langley says more than 80 per cent of his customers come through referrals from their family, friends and neighbours. For example, James and Heather, from Wiggington, write: “You made the experience stress-free and were a great help from designing the kitchen right up until it was installed. Your team of installers were first rate and I couldn’t fault them one bit... The end result is exactly what we wanted and more. The quality of the kitchen is excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.” Gary said: “Often, someone 32 • info@thehandymag.co.uk
looking for a new kitchen visits us while they’re shopping around, but they place their order with us, because once they’ve mentioned to their family and friends they had a look at Instyle, people tell them ‘You must go with Instyle – they did my kitchen, my neighbours’ kitchen, my aunty’s kitchen’...”
“Not only can we find just about any kitchen you might have seen, it will cost a lot less than you expected, too.” A kitchen is a long-term investment – but Instyle has received repeat business from some customers. Gary added: “One lady had
her second kitchen from us, because she moved house and wanted exactly the same kitchen as she’d had before. The kitchen in her new house was fine, it was only ten years old, but she said she couldn’t do with less than we’d fitted for her before.” After 20 years of trading, Instyle Kitchens & Bedrooms has grown from a one-man band fitting one kitchen a month, to a six-strong team designing and installing three kitchens a week, plus bedrooms and bathrooms. Their extensive contacts throughout the industry mean they can source just about any kitchen you may have seen and enables them to offer one of the widest choices of styles and designs in Yorkshire. Gary said: “Some showrooms are a bit more

limited because they are tied into one manufacturer – but we deal with around 20. We have more than 200 different kitchen styles available to our customers. “Not only can we find just about any kitchen you might have seen, it will cost a lot less than you expected, too.” The experienced and skilled team make the design, planning and installation of a new kitchen a completely stress-free experience. After a visit to their wellestablished showroom in Haxby, or the new one which opened in Acomb early this year, Instyle’s experts organise the entire project from start to finish. The process begins with a visit from Instyle’s designer Paul Streicher, who will listen to the customer and add lots of
HOMES & GARDENS
creative ideas to plan a kitchen that fits perfectly with their ideas, personality and home. A CAD (computer-aided design) will be produced, helping the customer visualise the end result. Gary then surveys the customer’s home, and project manages the work himself at no extra cost – bringing in and overseeing his own trusted team of electricians, plasterers, plumbers and tilers. Around 90% of kitchens are completed within a week – granite work surfaces or extensive refits are the only exceptions. Although a new kitchen is a big investment, Instyle consistently beats its competitors on price – customers often ring up to double check Gary and his team haven’t made a mistake
on the quote. But if money is tight, an Instyle facelift can freshen up a tired-out kitchen for an excellent price. Gary said: “New cupboard doors, worktops and flooring can give the feel of a new kitchen for a fraction of the cost. We are completely flexible; even if someone just wants a new sink, we’ll work with them to give them what they want. “We’ve found we don’t need to use any pressurising sales tactics, we just make sure we provide exactly what the customer wants, for extremely competitive prices.” For no-nonsense knowhow, designs to suit you and a smooth installation process, contact Instyle Kitchens & Bedrooms on 01904 764383.

Himalayan Hunnies
T
hree Pickering friends have responded to an appeal by leading infertility expert Professor Robert Winston to join a tough, women-only trekking challenge in Nepal to raise funds to improve the health of women and babies. Next September, Adele Baker, Val Thomson and Jayne Barrow will trek for six days amongst the Himalayan Annapurnas. The three friends, who met at their local branch of Slimming World, have promised to raise £10 000 between them to help fund groundbreaking medical research work at Hammersmith Hospital in London. Between the three of them, Val, Adele and Jayne have lost almost nine stone so the amount they hope to raise equates to just over £1000 per each stone lost. “We saw the advert in Slimming World magazine and thought, not only would it be an amazing challenge and adventure, and a way of celebrating our new slimmer selves, but we would be raising money for a cause that must be close to every woman/mothers heart” said Adele. “Funds raised by Val, Adele and Jayne will support women scientists and clinicians to specialise in research affecting women and their babies. They will work in the research centre to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of devastating conditions which cause miscarriage, genetic diseases, infertility and cancer. With nearly 250 babies dying every week in the UK from complications during pregnancy, our work has never been so essential for women
and babies, nationwide”, says Professor Winston, Chairman, Genesis Research Trust. Jayne, Val and Adele are hoping to hold several fundraising events over the next ten months, the first of which is a 2 course supper and disco to be held at the Old Lodge, Malton on Friday, October 21st. Tickets, (£25pp) are available by telephoning Jayne on 01751 477364. If you would like to pledge your support for these three Pickering ladies, either post a donation, made payable to Genesis Research Trust to them at Cawthorne House, 42 Eastgate, Pickering, YO18 7DU or visit www.justgiving.com/himalayanhunnies . Alternatively if you have any fundraising ideas or offers of help, please contact them on 01751 477364/474203/477164.

Amazing Autumn Colour
is just too tempting
A
utumn colour has the ability to make me go weak at the knees. I love it....just as the temperatures are dropping and things can become dull and gloomy, your garden develops a new potential – to be positively glowing with fantastic foliage colour. Autumn is a great time to plant trees and shrubs and as the plants are showing their beautiful colours, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting. Plants for vertical surfaces: Vitis coignetiae – a rampant grower, the heart-shaped leaves may measure 25-30cm across and their splendid scarlet and crimson colours are un-missable. This vine can be grown through large trees and over sturdier supports. Colours are especially good if the soil is miserable or the root run restricted. Parthenocissus quinquefolia - commonly known as the Virginia creeper, it’s another sizeable climber, and this also offers a good degree of self-clinging ability, so it can be used on walls without a
support system. In autumn the leaves are numerous shades of scarlet, orange and red. It can grow tall so may need trimming. Parthenocissus henryana - a relative of the Virginia creeper, but much more restrained. In autumn the leaves turn from a dark green to bronzy colour with pretty silvery white veining to rich shades of red. Shrubs: Fothergilla major or Witch Alder is a gorgeous smallish to medium-sized shrub, covered with scented creamy white spiky flower clusters early in the year, before the leaves appear. The foliage turns shades of yellow and orange in the autumn. Fothergilla needs a lime-free soil. Amelanchier lamarckii, also known as the snowy mespilus or serviceberry, is a large shrub or small tree and produces lovely whitish blossom in spring. The leaves change from a coppery colour to bright green to one huge mass of fiery colours in autumn. Acers or maples are
generally reliable autumn show stoppers, and for smaller gardens you find it hard to beat one of the Japanese maples with their stunning divided leaves turning rich purples, reds, oranges and yellows. They do well in large tubs, perfect for a sheltered back yard. Cotinus or smoke bush is a shrub with attractively rounded leaves that come in shades of green, pinkish–orange or purple with a bright display in autumn. The fluffy seed heads that are left after flowering look just like little clouds or plumes of smoke. If your garden soil is waterlogged now, then wait a week or more until it is in better condition before planting. If the soil is dry, it will still need watering well, and the soil around the roots will need to be kept moist. Always check the potential height and spread of trees or shrubs you’re considering. Then sit back and enjoy your own bit of autumnal magic! by Pippa Greenwood

Mists and mellow fruitfulness The end of summer is unmistakably upon us. Cooler, greyer, darker earlier. Heavy dew in the morning. Autumn beckons.
T
he departure of summer can be depressing, but autumn has much to offer. The landscape is beautiful, especially if you have the good fortune to live near a forest which can be ablaze with yellow, gold and red. Autumn is, of course, the time of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Late blackberries, chestnuts, mushrooms, hazelnuts, rosehips – and sloes (which will make gin in time for Christmas). Fungi are mainly autumnal. In woodlands and forests, you can find a wonderful variety of mushrooms, toadstools, earth balls, puffballs and bracket fungi. But even with experience and modern field guides,
identifying them can be tricky and time-consuming. Mycologists (botanists who specialise in fungi) use scientific names as a matter of routine. English names have been coined for some of the better known mushrooms and toadstools: Shaggy Caps (also known as Lawyer’s Wigs), Parasols, the Oyster Mushroom, the Beefsteak Mushroom, the Penny Bun – to say nothing of the Death Cap and the Destroying Angel. In truth, I’ve seldom heard these allegedly popular names used. There are thousands of different species of mushroom and toadstool. A few are edible and delicious. A few are poisonous, some fatal. The great majority lie somewhere in between: not very nice, but not harmful either. If you want to experiment with some of the edible species, there are plenty of books available to help you identify them. But remember that the only really safe way is to identify with certainty anything you’re going to eat. Disregard all those old saws about blackening sixpences or being nibbled by rabbits. Some of the deadliest species can
be eaten with impunity by other mammals. I’ve tried a dozen or so species over the years, but for my money there’s little to beat the traditional mushroom family, Agaricus. There’s a variety of closely related species in the family, but the one to watch out for is the socalled Yellow Stainer (Agaricus xanthodermus). Looking like a horse mushroom, this species immediately turns bright yellow when cut or bruised. It won’t kill you, but it can make you very sick. The family Amanita contains the deadliest of all species, the Death Cap (Amanita phalloides). The tiniest quantity can bring death in appalling agony There is also has the all-white Destroying Angel (Amanita virosa) and that toadstool beloved of elves and goblins, the Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria), with its red cap and white spots. One way to be sure of avoiding these most deadly of toadstools is never to eat anything whose gills are white. But, again, there is only one sensible rule: if you don’t know with certainty what it is, don’t eat it. Perhaps the safest and most environmentally friendly way to enjoy autumn’s fungal feast is to photograph it. Then you can spend as long as you like poring over books trying to decide what you’ve seen. The book I use most is a photographic guide, ‘Mushrooms’ by Roger Phillips (Macmillan Reference, 2006). Of course, you don’t have to struggle to identify fungi. You can always just enjoy their strange beauty.

The best books for
Halloween It’s that one night of the year where we all prepare to be spooked and scared, donning our most frightening costumes and relaying stories of ghosts, ghouls and werewolves. Here, we’ve selected some of the best books to get all the family in the mood for some spinetingling fun and games. The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson A fragile young woman, Eleanor, escapes her oppressive existence to stay with three other guests at old Hill House. Soon becoming the victim of a number of strange occurrences, Eleanor struggles to decipher whether she is terrified of the house, or comforted by it in all its weirdness. This dark, psychological tale is bound to set the cogs whirring. The Turn of the Screw by Henry James Hailed as one of the most sinister reads out there, Henry James’ classic tale is of a governess who is sent to care for two newly orphaned children. The story takes a twisted tale when ghosts begin to appear who seem to have much more in common with the two youngsters than they will admit. 48 • info@thehandymag.co.uk
The Haunting of Toby Jugg by Dennis Wheatley Hailed as ‘The Prince of Thriller Writers’, this is Wheatley’s most chilling read which begins with a dark, sinister something trying desperately to get into Toby Jugg’s bedroom window. The wounded Battle of Britain pilot soon embarks upon a struggle with a supernatural force which will stay with the reader long after the last page is turned. Misery by Stephen King Although there are no ghosts or ghouls in this tale, there is one extremely frightening woman, who will be enough to keep you turning the pages long past bedtime. A great one for teenagers upwards, here we have the story of an author who having suffered a car accident and been rescued by his biggest fan, finds himself in one terrifying predicament. Gripping, from start to end.
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill The ultimate thriller about a frightening spectre that haunts the inhabitants of a small market town. When young solicitor Arthur Kipps attends the funeral of an elderly widow, he soon becomes intrigued by the tragic story of a woman in black whom appears to him regularly. Soon, he finds himself intrinsically involved with the legends surrounding the mysterious figure, to his own detriment. The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman This fantastic story is the perfect fright-night read for children over nine, written in a playful nonsensical tone and accompanied by stunning illustrations courtesy of Dave McKean. Lucy becomes alarmed when she suspects that she hears wolves in the walls of her house – particularly with her father’s words ringing in her ears: “when the wolves come out of the walls, it’s all over.”
A Classic...
Dracula by Bram Stoker
It’s a classic horror story, but despite being over a century old, none of the terror is lost in the ageing of this brilliant tale. Bram Stoker has created the ultimate fearsome character in Dracula, a vampire whose power and influence lead to the manipulation of a number of individuals who tend to meet a rather gruesome end. Sinister, dark and incredibly chilling, this is the ultimate vampire read.

ello again. This month I am going to tell you about my month-long trip to Kenya during the 2012 summer holiday, for providing support to rural communities. It promises to be a life changing venture for me and, I trust, those I will be working for. The trip is organised by Camps International, an organisation which has built over 30 schools, planted nearly half a million trees and provided sports facilities for 6,500 people. I will be flying out to a rural community in south-east Kenya to contribute towards teamwork activities to improve the quality of life for the local people. A few things I might be taking part in will be; building schools, wells, libraries, houses, planting trees and (apparently!) making paper out of elephant poo!, whilst learning about the traditions and ways of life for the people who live there. Finally, after these weeks of hard labour, lugging rocks and painting doors, I am to make a five day trek up to the peak of the second largest mountain in Africa – Mount Kenya. Why not Mombasa beach, sun and relaxation?! Through these monthly articles the Handy Mag is helping me towards the cost of my trip. And between now and when I go, I am hoping to raise the majority of the £3500 needed. Already I’ve been hatching plans with others from my school to raise funds through nonuniform days, cake sales and car boot sales. So far I have made a drop in the ocean of £65 at my local village fete, thanks to the services of a deceptively woolly lamb for ‘Guessing the weight’ and my hamster in ‘Guess the square the hamster will poo on’!! On that note, I will leave you to your overdue essays and unfinished crosswords. Until next month,

how to cope with
kennel
cough Dogs are much less discerning when coming into contact with each other and will happily spread their germs around at will
50 • info@thehandymag.co.uk
W
ith another summer definitely behind us and autumn setting in, its time to play avoid the bugs again for the next few months; dodge that person in the supermarket with the sniffles and turn away at the merest hint of a coughing individual nearby. Unfortunately the “common cold” will often still catch up with us despite our best efforts. However, dogs are much less discerning when coming into contact with each other and will happily spread their germs around at will. Last year we had quite a problem with a condition we call canine infectious tracheobronchitis, also commonly, but misleadingly, called kennel cough. The misleading part is that dog don’t have to have been in kennels to become infected. The condition is highly contagious and dogs can pick up infection anywhere where there are large numbers of dogs in reasonably close proximity to each other. This can include rescue and boarding kennels, obedience and puppy socialisation classes, dog shows and going shooting. However, they can pick it up just from being in contact with another infected dog or even just going for a walk in an area where an infected dog has been. There are several possible causes for kennel cough, the main ones being canine adenovirus 2, parainfluenza virus and Bordetella bronchiseptica. The other organisms we often see involved usually cause what we call secondary infections, whereby they aren’t

the primary problem but take advantage of the fact that the dog’s immune system is already fighting another infection. In the average healthy, adult dog, kennel cough doesn’t normally make them particularly unwell. They will have a hacking cough, owners often say it sounds like they have something stuck in their throat, but are otherwise their usual bright, happy selves and still eating fine and keen to go for their walks. The infection can last for a couple of weeks and will often resolve on its own without treatment. However, in some cases, especially very young puppies, much older dogs, or those with long term chest problems, the illness can be a bit more serious and need more aggressive treatment. If needing treatment, this normally involves a course of antibiotics and sometimes anti-coughing medicine is needed if the cough is especially bad. Most dogs, though, would be expected to make a full recovery within a few weeks. Vaccination is available against the major causes of kennel cough, though unfortunately it doesn’t protect against every possible cause. The vaccine is given by squirting a small amount of liquid up the dog’s nose, most tolerate this very well, although some really don’t like it! If your dog is diagnosed with kennel cough, it is a good idea to try not to walk them in an area where a lot of other dogs go until the cough has settled. As with a lot of these types of infections the time that they’re most contagious is actually before the symptoms start to show but its still worth keeping them away from other dogs when they are coughing. Hopefully, though, this year both us and our dogs will stay cough-free, for the most part at least!

St Lucia by Solange Hando
T
ossed 14 times between French and English colonial powers, the island has thrown both cultures into the melting pot with a generous helping of African folklore, a little East Indian spice and vestiges of early Amerindian settlers. English is the official language but Creole, a mix of African dialects and French, is coming back, in tune with the stirring rhythm of reggae and calypso. St Lucia is tourist-hungry but eco-friendly and most developments have been limited to the north-west around Rodney Bay. There are fine sands and palm trees, a gleaming marina and out on the hilly peninsula, known as Pigeon Island, fabulous views over the shimmering Caribbean Sea on one side and foaming Atlantic breakers on the other. Pleasure boats sail along the coast looking out for sunfish, dolphins and whales, past the lovely Marigot Bay featured in Dr Doolittle, the fabulous diving sites, hidden coves and sleepy villages strung with fishing nets and laundry drying on the beach. On a Friday night, when the beat of Afro-Caribbean steel bands echo along the shore, the village of Anse la Raye stages a gigantic fish fry al fresco, a lively family event where all sorts of delicacies bubble in the pots or sizzle in the pans - seafood, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, rice, callaloo soup and more. The national dish is salt fish with green bananas, but equally popular is the fiery pepperpot cooked in cassava juice. Soufrière, the old capital, 52 • info@thehandymag.co.uk
nestles below the luxuriant volcanic cones of the Pitons, seen on every postcard, but few visitors linger in town. The world’s only ‘drive-in volcano’ is just a stone’s throw away, seething with sulphurous fumes and gurgling mud, and there are Botanical Gardens with mineral springs, tropical blooms and a stunning Diamond Fall gushing down multi-coloured rocks. To the north, the new capital, Castries, is famed for its Jazz Festival and duty-free malls, gleaming with Colombian emeralds and Amerindian craft, but the old town retains a quaint colonial charm. The cathedral has stunning murals and stained glass, designed by Nobel-prize artist Dunstan St Omer, no doubt a source of inspiration for myriad craftsmen and painters who have set up home on the nearby Hill of Good Luck. Climbing the Pitons is strictly for the brave but there are easier treks through the hills and rainforest with jeep safaris heading for remote hamlets, banana plantations and Creole farms fragrant with cinnamon and nutmeg. There may be time to taste cassava bread, bathe in a waterfall and bargain for bird ornaments carved out of coconut shells. At over
At the southern end of the Lesser Antilles, in the Caribbean islands, St Lucia is just a drop in the ocean, 27 by 14 miles, with spectacular mountains, lush rainforest and fertile valleys fringed by sandy beaches. 3000 feet, Mount Gimmie, the highest peak, rises above it all but views can be enjoyed with no effort at all in the eight-seater gondola offering an expensive but popular ‘sky ride’. There you glide up a hillside, skimming the tree tops, gazing at incense and fern trees, breadnut, blue maho and heliconia, spotting hummingbirds, butterflies, mongoose and tarantulas dangling inches from your face. Rolling farmlands stretch into the distance, sprinkled with villages where the occasional beat of a Creole drum seems to touch the very heart of this varied and scenic island.

But then Dave’s life is changed forever. Now he’s 17 stone of rippling muscle, ready to take control of his destiny and shift the power in his favour to get revenge. But it’s not only Dave’s body
