to the October issue of IN&AROUND! Yes, it’s the month of Halloween, a time of trick-ortreating – and, if you would like to serve someone a thoughtful treat for 31st October, why not follow our tantalising recipe for spiderweb cheesecake?

The instructions you need are on page 34.

We haven’t got any tricks, though – instead, just got lots of great content. Flick to page 42 for our review of the new Marvel cinematic outing Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings, or check out page 10, where we pay tribute to the late John Lennon – he would have been 81 this month.

Here’s to a great October – we’ll be back with another packed issue next month.

Notable Birthday: John Lennon When you think about the most successful musicians of the 20th century, who comes to mind? Perhaps Elvis or Madonna? Maybe even John Lennon, lead singer of The Beatles, the band who shaped the popular music scene into what it is today.

On the 9th of October 1940, during a German air raid, John Winston Lennon was born in Liverpool. John was raised by his Aunt Mimi after his parents separated, but it was John’s mother who prompted and nourished his m u s i c a l potential. In fact, she taught him how to play the banjo and piano, even buying him his first guitar.

Lennon met his songwriting partner Paul McCartney in 1957.

After a few conversations, Lennon invited McCartney to join his band, then called the Quarrymen. A year later, McCartney introduced Lennon to his best friend, Georgie Harrison, who became the lead guitarist for the group. With the addition of drummer Ringo Starr in 1962, The Beatles were born.

1962 was a big year in more ways than one for John Lennon. Not only did his band release their first single, “Love Me Do”, but he also married his girlfriend Cynthia Powell, after finding out that

10 | IN&AROUND

she was pregnant. This was also the year that Beatlemania took off across the UK, so upon the advice of The Beatles’ manager, the Lennon’s hid their marriage from the public. Cynthia gave birth to their son, Julian, in 1963 though Lennon didn’t meet him for three days because he was on tour.

The Beatles suffered a huge blow in 1967 after the sudden death of their manager, Brian Epstein.

This, combined with Lennon’s evolving partnership with future wife Yoko Ono and rumoured friction with other members, led to Lennon leaving the band in 1969. He married Ono in 1968 and went on to move to New York with her in 1971.

A huge activist for peace, Lennon spent most of his later life protesting against the Vietnam War, his most notable protest being his two week long bed-ins with Yoko Ono. Perhaps his most widely recognised solo hit, Imagine, was a peace song released in protest of conflict.

On December the 8th 1980, Lennon was tragically shot by a crazed Beatles fan, Mark David Chapman. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.

Enjoy Your conservatory all year round Conservatories are a fantastic space to enjoy whilst looking out onto your garden, they are bright, spacious and give you a great sense of closeness to the outdoors. However, as most conservatory owners will know that, whilst they bring all of those benefits, it is usually short lived and can only be enjoyed for two or three months of the year, the rest of those months being either freezing cold or blisteringly hot.

At Thermos Roof, we have been insulating conservatory roofs since 2005 for two main reasons, the first to increase its insulating performance and secondly to enhance its internal aesthetic appearance.

Experience will have shown you that in the winter as soon as you open the door the heat is sucked out of your room into the conservatory, and during the summer it becomes a dazzling sauna that’s so hot you need a fan to cool you down. At Thermos Roof we can transform your conservatory from a room you barely use into a room that you can enjoy all year round because the temperature is comfortable and constant, you will even be able to watch TV or use a computer without sunglasses.

What is most impressive is that we can do this all in one day! With no mess!

We retain your existing polycarbonate or glass roof and insulate it from the inside, finishing it in an attractive gloss white tongue and groove PVC cladding that matches perfectly with the rest of your conservatory construction. The materials we use are lightweight, therefore no roof strengthening is required, no planning application is necessary and no long periods of mess and upheaval in your home. In addition to this the look and finish of your Thermos Roof will be as fresh in 10 years as it is now.

The performance of the lightweight insulation system will equal that of vastly more expensive options, with less mess and waste, and less time to install saving you thousands of pounds and allowing you to enjoy your conservatory immediately.

We can install a Thermos Roof to conservatories of any size or shape transforming them into a flowing extension of your living space wherein its use is not dictated by the external weather conditions, it will become warm in winter and cool in summer.

In addition to the above benefits, our team will eliminate mould and condensation, reduce rain, noise and serve to cover up an unsightly dirty roof. The gloss white finish will make it brighter in the evenings by reflecting light and will give your conservatory that WOW factor, making it a great place to relax or work.

All installations come with a 5 year warranty and we guarantee that you will be amazed with both the improved appearance and the insulating performance of your new roof.

We offer a free quotation service for the installation of your Thermos Roof and should you require it we can also undertake maintenance works to repair or replace gutters, fascias, soffits, window sills, roof panels and leaking roofs.

Please give us a call today to start the ball rolling to making full use of your Conservatory!

Seaton Carew

C

onvalescing after an operation, I wanted a night away at the seaside, but not too far away. I returned for the first time in years to Seaton Carew, a small beachside resort which is a southern suburb of Hartlepool. I stayed in the Marine Hotel, which was built in 1900 – a very good year for building hotels, at a time of Victorian confidence and exuberance and got a double room (just for me) with sea view for £70. There is a station on the coastal Middlesbrough to Newcastle line at Seaton Carew, but it is a 15 minute walk inland, so I bought a ticket to “Hartlepool Plus Bus” and after lunch in Hartlepool took the 15 minute service 1 by Stagecoach to right outside the hotel. I did try to visit the Cameron’s brewery which gave every impression on their website that tours had been reintroduced with details of the three days a week they were open. Annoyingly it was not, even though I phoned twice as requested. I was pleased to be staying at Seaton Carew overnight as both the Hillcarter and the Grand Hotel in Hartlepool have recently closed.

Take a tip – use the bus! That’s the benefit of the Plus Bus scheme which offers unlimited local bus travel for £3.80. I went to visit the town’s excellent free museum adjacent to the Museum of the Royal Navy and up on bus 7 to explore the Headland before a repeat journey on the 1 bus to Seaton Carew.

There was a choice of fish and chip restaurants, a carvery in the hotel, and a single Indian restaurant for evening meal about 2100. I reckoned that a decent curry might help resolve an unwelcome side effect of my medication and plumped for the Seaton Tandoori, which served up a good meal despite initially placing me in the front window and forgetting about me. The curry was duck, with a good egg rice and peshwari nan, with friendly service and a couple of Cobra beers. When I got up to a lovely sea view in the morning, this combination had done its necessary work. Breakfast was extra but a tasty offering of buffet items.

I originally planned to get the train back home, but took the bus south from Seaton Carew’s iconic 1930s bus station with its After checking in at the Marine and a walk impressive clocktower through the round the attractions of Seaton Carew, and industrial heart of Teesside (something it admiring its splendidly clean and virtually would be difficult to admire by car when empty sandy beach, I had a look at the range you need both concentration and a bit more of fish and chips shops, Larry’s Lanes for ten height).

A-Level Open Day at New College Durham On Saturday 16 October between 10am – 1pm, the Sixth Form Centre at New College Durham is opening its doors to students who are interested in studying A-Levels at the College and welcoming them onto campus.

During the event, students can discuss the details of subjects they are interested in with lecturers, enjoy a tour of the dedicated Sixth Form Centre and the wider College campus and chat with current students.

Parents are also welcome to attend to find out about the distinctive package of support offered to A-Level students.

Alison Maynard, Deputy Principal at New College Durham, said: “We know how important it is for year 11s to have the chance to come onto campus and have those very valuable conversations with our teaching staff, so they can make the right decision on their next step. We look forward to getting to know new students and parents and answering any questions they have on the day.”

The Sixth Form Centre is one of the largest in County Durham and it offers something different to the school sixth form experience for its students. Alison explains:

“Here at NCD we offer a different experience to that of sixth form centres and school sixth forms. Our students can choose from a wide range of subjects which are taught by subject specialists. Students enjoy a campus experience, with outstanding facilities, whilst also benefiting from small class sizes and a dedicated sixth form centre community. We combine the best of school and college.”

NCD also has a reputation for success; A-Level students consistently achieve high pass rates and this year was no different, with students achieving a 100% pass rate in 19 subjects. Students also progress onto fantastic destinations, including Russell Group universities such as Durham, Newcastle and York.

FILM

REVIEW

screen that had no romantic connotations. That was until the end of the movie, where I feel it was implied that the two considered each other to be something more than friends. I hope this doesn’t become the direction Marvel takes the two characters in, as male/female friendships that don’t blossom into something more are so hard to come by on screen these days!

For me, the release of Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings truly marks the start of Phase Four of the MCU. Although Spiderman: No Way Home and Black Widow came first, the introduction of a brand new hero is certainly a great way to build on the world and the superhero landscape that Marvel has spent over 10 years developing.

From beginning to end, the themes and storyline of the movie are completely devoted to family, both genetically and found. A key way they did this was by including as much humour as possible and keeping things light hearted where appropriate. While the overall pace of the movie was excellent, it was sometimes slowed in places by including flashback scenes to tell more about Shang-Chi’s childhood and relationship with his father. It would have been better to include more of this storytelling earlier in the movie, so the climax of the film wasn’t interrupted by yet another flashback scene.

One of my favourite parts (and biggest criticisms) of the film was the relationship between Shaun and Katie. It was super refreshing to see a friendship between a man and a woman on

The action and CGI in this production is some of the best Marvel has ever produced.

Everything from cinematography to fight choreography was beautiful to watch and reality captured every viewer in the cinema.

Marvel truly embraced the new style of hand to hand combat they introduced in this movie, moving away from fist fights to embrace Chinese culture. The set design and costuming was beautiful and it was great to see Marvel move out of New York and Europe and show us more of the world we live in.

Of course, there were nods to past Marvel films to keep the continuity within the universe.

Acknowledgement was made to the blip and hints were dropped about Shang-Chi’s future in the MCU, as well as how he could tie in to some upcoming MCU movies.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It is certainly not one to miss, especially if you are a Marvel fan!
