Mothering Sunday is on

Sunday 30th March (Treacle Market as well!)

Mother’s Day is commemorated worldwide although the dates differ from country to country. In the UK, the correct name for Mother’s Day is Mothering Sunday and it always falls on the 4th Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter. Since the dates of Easter and Lent vary from year to year, the date of Mothering Sunday also varies. This year it falls on 30th March. Mother’s Day Quotes

..

extremely important for everyone to return at least once a year to worship at their ‘Mother’ church., the one in which they were baptised. Servants were given the day off to return home and spend some time with their family and to worship at their Mother church. This day became known as Mothering Sunday. As this would probably be their only holiday of the year they would take gifts for their family. There might have been a Simnel cake (a marzipan covered fruit cake) from a generous employer to save until the end of Lent and positive of wild flowers gathered from the hedgerows. This luxurious fruit-filled Simnel cake signified an end to the austerity of Lent.

Although mothers have been revered since Prehistoric times, this particular tribute day to mothers has been recognised since the 17th century. In those days, it was common for children to move away from home at an early age to work in service or on apprenticeships from as young as ten years old. They lived in their employers’ houses and rarely had time off to see their families. They would worship regularly in their nearest church, known as their ‘Daughter’ church.

What’s new at Weight Watchers for 2014? Quite simply, their new “Simple Start� weight loss starter plan! The plan centres on an easy way to

kick start your weight loss. For two weeks, members (new and current!) can choose from a suggested menu of meals built from an easy to remember list of good-foryou foods without the focus on tracking points. Members trade the freedom to eat anything they want over their first couple of weeks for the freedom to eat as much as they want! No counting and no set portions! It is built on a foundation of satisfying and filling foods which are the healthiest and most filling food choices within categories, including whole grains, lean proteins, non-fat dairy and fresh fruits and vegetables. All the work has been done in advance, more than 30 simple and delicious meal ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner along with mix and match DIY options for endless creativity. After that, you can start flexing the ProPoints plan around your needs to continue with your weight loss.

Local People - A Teenage Perspective ‌...

A small group of students from various year groups at Macclesfield Academy meets regularly to discuss ideas, work together and support each other as writers. Our articles look at life from a sometimes refreshingly different perspective! This month, a very perceptive piece by Year 9 student, Shoni Rae.

Same difference To a teenager, going to town with their friends, watching a movie at the cinema or having a sleepover is all normal; it’s all part of everyday life. To a ‘normal’ teenager that is. But really, what exactly is normal when it’s at home? You’re probably wondering where this is going . . . well, I’ll tell you... When I was seven, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. A few months later, the mild asthma that I’d had all of my life suddenly became chronic. This affected my life massively but after a while I got used to it. After all, I was only seven and being so young made it easier to adapt to a life full of hospital appointments, admissions, and medicine. That’s my opinion anyway. By Year 6 in primary school, managing my illnesses was as easy as reciting the alphabet. However, for some reason everything changed when I reached high school. The new teachers I had at high school treated me as if I was made of glass, which I guess I could understand, but this made me stand out. In addition, I had to have a teaching assistant (TA) with me wherever I went and this really got to me. Literally, I couldn’t even go to the bathroom without having to tell the TA and even then they waited outside for me! More than anything it upset me because they were treating me like I was a freak who couldn’t do anything for herself, and I wasn’t! I was an average person, with feelings and emotions just like the next pupil. This was made worse when the new friends that I made always asked why there was a TA with us when other people who had different conditions didn’t have one full-time. Really, why was I any different? As a teenager all I wanted to do was everyday things and just be normal. People might look different on the outside, they might have a condition or they might have an illness, but that doesn’t mean that that person is stupid or can’t do anything for themselves. I bet that at least once in your life, you’ve come across a person with a mental or physical disability and you’ve treated them differently. You’ve talked to them slowly; you’ve tried to do everything for them without letting them do a thing, like they were automatically unable to because they were different. Well let me tell you now, it isn’t fun when that happens! So my point is, next time a situation like that arises, stop and think about what you’re doing and how you’re treating that person. And remember, just because they might be different from the crowd that doesn’t mean they aren’t a ‘normal’ person, just like you or me.

Shoni is a keen writer having already had two articles published in ‘Local People’. She enjoys writing articles, short stories and poetry and has a bubbly personality which is apparent in her writing style. We are sure that she will take her writing further inXV theMXVW future! 7R skills DGYHUWLVH ZLWK FDOO

March On

A Walk in the Woods, Bill Bryson Far from being a stroll among the bluebells, the Appalachian Trail is a two thousand mile route that goes right the way along the East Coast of North America, from Georgia to Maine. Bill Bryson’s hilarious account of all the things that will kill you along the way will have you longing for a bit of adventure. This is a trek that’s a journey into the wild. Some don’t make it alive. Rest assured, if the bears don’t get you then the poison ivy will. Walking Home: A Poet’s Journey, Simon Armitage Most walkers complete the Pennine Way by going South to North but Simon Armitage decided it would be more poetic if he did it the other way around. He made the 256 mile journey from Kirk Yetholm on the Scottish border to his native Yorkshire, and the village where he was born. True to form, Armitage decided not to look like he was on a Duke of Edinburgh expedition but to wander as a lonely troubadour, penniless on the Pennine Way and give poetry readings in village halls, churches and pubs. It’s packed with Northern soul and would be best enjoyed with a pint of stout in a pub.

Now the weather’s improving and spring has almost sprung, it’s time to head outside and explore the great outdoors. OK, so this might be taking the month of March a tad literally, but how about taking it literary? Here are some of our top tips for great reads about epic journeys.

Walking, Henry David Thoreau According to Thoreau, in order to find happiness, we just need to spend more time outdoors. More specifically, not only do we need to constantly reconnect with nature but we need to be moving and discovering and taking long afternoon walks. As a writer he took inspiration from his surroundings and revelled in the wild and the free. Here he did his greatest thinking and he remains a hero among environmentalists and fans of American literature alike.

The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Rachel Joyce This is an extraordinary story that begins with the most ordinary of objects: a letter. Harold Fry receives a letter from old flame and dear friend Queenie, who is now in a hospice and facing her mortality. Harold writes her a reply but then on a whim, decides he must walk the 600 miles to hand deliver it to her, leaving his wife upstairs doing the housework. It’s such an amazing and heart-warming story. Will Harold reach Queenie in time?

Rabbit-Proof Fence, Doris Pilkington, Nugi Garimara In 1931 the Australian government dictated that all Aboriginal and mixed race children should be removed from their homes and put into settlements to assimilate into white culture. This is the true story of three little girls who followed the rabbit-proof fence 1000 miles across the harsh Australian outback, all the way back home. Doris Pilkington’s mother was one of those girls and here she tells her mother’s remarkable survival story. It’s an absolutely unbelievable account of the human spirit and its resilience.

The Hobbit, J R R Tolkien If there’s one thing in life that hobbits enjoy more than anything, it’s comfort. From the sanctuary of his hobbit-hole, Bilbo Baggins is plucked by the wizard Gandalf and taken off on an extraordinary and most unexpected journey, deep into Middle Earth. Accompanying Gandalf and his band of thirteen dwarves, the world’s most reluctant hero must help them raid the treasures of Smaug the Magnificent, a dangerous dragon. Written for Tolkien’s own grandchildren, it’s the prelude to The Lord of the Rings and a fantastic odyssey into the unknown.

A Touch of the Orient by Pippa Greenwood

As the new gardening year is under way, is it time to embark on a new era in your garden? It can be really refreshing to have a change of style, not necessarily in your whole garden but perhaps you could create a different and contrasting feel in a small part of your plot to the rest of your well-loved garden? The Japanese style is largely very simplistic and aims to create a relaxed, calm environment. In any garden you’re going to need walls, fences, pathways and so forth, and if you use natural materials such as wood or of course bamboo, they blend in better with the surroundings of an existing or a newly planned garden and instantly help to create that oriental feel. Provided the surface is made relatively slip-proof, a small bridge can be created quite easily using a simple plank of wood, allowing you to cross over an existing or new pond or other water feature. Stain the wood an interesting colour: perhaps even bright Japanesestyle red if you’re feeling daring. Thinking of water, why not create your own ‘deer chase’? All you need to set up is a source of water powered by a pump, then allow the water to pour out from a bamboo spout and then into another hollowed out piece of bamboo. As the weight of the water increases

in the hollowed out bamboo it causes it to tip and to swivel around slightly. Once filled up it then tilts downwards and pours its water into the basin or bowl beneath. When empty it clunks back into position. If you want something even simpler, then buy some wide diameter bamboo canes, hollow one out, cut the end at an angle and simply create a trickling water spout. Provided you fix everything up with a pump, the water can then be recycled around from the bowl or basin and back into the trickling pipe. Gravelled areas raked into simple patterns resembling waves or entire circles also help to create a Japanese feel. These can take up the majority of the garden space, be a relatively small area or perhaps link your existing garden into the Japanese ‘room’ that you have created. Concentric rings of raked gravel or sand look particularly dramatic if you place a sizeable, interestingly shaped boulder, stone or specimen plant in the centre of the middle circle. When it comes to plants there are several which instantly help to evoke that Japanese effect. The so-called Japanese maples with their intricately divided leaves epitomise Japanese gardens and many will turn brilliant shades in the autumn. Japanese azaleas too can be used to great effect and can

bring in some of those really bright colours which look so good for the relatively simple garden surrounding them. Pine trees may be too large for most gardens, but you can gradually bend the stems of a smaller one to create a bonsai effect. Of course, if you’re a collector of bonsai then most of these trees actually enjoy spending the summer outside in a garden and provided they are kept adequately maintained, will look great in your Japanese garden. A trip down to your local garden centre is bound to supply you with a few oriental-themed containers. Plant one or two of these up with a small acer, camellia, miniature azalea or miniature bamboo and you will really help to complete that oriental touch. Visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood.com for a great range of gardening-related items including ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ veg growing system, electronic cat and fox deterrents, lots of slug controls, Pippa’s favourite weeding tool, and many other useful garden items.

Life Begins

When did you last do something impulsive still working with Cirque du Soleil as a performer at their Florida base.

It sometimes pays to follow your instincts. Author JK Rowling reportedly decided to write the first Harry Potter novel after an idea for the story occurred to her when she was travelling on a train from Manchester to London. Following a painful divorce, she completed the book as a struggling single mum on state benefits, becoming a multi-millionaire within a staggering five years. Yusuke Funaki had a good job as an engineer in Tokyo. By chance he saw a performance by the worldfamous circus company Cirque du Soleil and was so inspired by the performers that he decided to learn the gymnastic rope-skipping techniques he had seen in the show. After a few years of practice he abandoned engineering and literally ran away to join the circus. He is

The link between these two individuals is their willingness to follow an impulse, taking up new activities that – given their backgrounds and relative inexperience in their chosen fields - were far from guaranteed to result in success. It takes a certain kind of courage to risk everything in order to follow a dream, especially when we know it might fail. Most of us, at some stage in our lives, have done things that we have regretted at a later date - a new hairstyle or a tattoo, a weird auction lot that seemed too good to ignore… sometimes our spur-of-themoment choices seem so out of character it’s almost as though someone else has taken over our minds. “Did I really do that?” you ask. A study of the brain shows why we feel this way. The emotional mind, based in the limbic system, is separate from the intellectual mind, which is found in the prefrontal cortex. While the

by Kate McLelland

primitive, emotional part of our brain makes rapid-fire decisions about things we like, dislike, hate, love, fear or want, the intellectual and more logical mind is geared to making deliberate and rational conclusions at a slightly slower pace. Therefore when you allow your emotional brain - known as the amygdala - to guide your actions, you’re likely to end up doing something that your rational self would prefer to avoid. We tend to associate impulsivity with youth and it’s true that young people are probably more likely to follow their impulses when making key decisions. In time, however, most people discover how to regulate these urges in order to function as an adult. Mature people tend to suppress their emotional responses, using the knowledge they have acquired, backed up by logic and reason, when considering a set of options. While no-one would doubt the benefits that knowledge and experience can bring, something is perhaps lost in this process. Impulse and risk-taking are closely linked with creativity, and there’s a danger that we may ignore the creative impulses that (as J.K. Rowling and Yusuke Funaki discovered) have the power to change the course of our lives. By middle-age, many of us

have ceased to follow our instincts, relying almost exclusively on the tried and trusted methods that we learned in our formative years. In order to stay safe and minimise risk we base our actions – including where we go, who we see, what we eat – on things that feel safe and familiar, but does sticking with what we know actually inhibit brain development? The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives (www.dana. org) is a non-profitmaking organisation of more than 300 leading neuroscientists in America, committed to making the public aware of the progress and benefits of brain research. According to the Trust: “The brain wants to learn.

It wants to be engaged as a learning machine. That means stepping out of the same old routines and trying something new and different.� When individuals settle into routines that are repeated automatically from day to day, the brain activity required for those activities decreases. That means that we tend to carry out familiar actions on autopilot and consequently our minds receive very little stimulation. When the brain encounters something unfamiliar, it creates new neural pathways that help it to understand and master that

new object or challenge. The good news is that older people can reactivate their brains by undertaking new activities, or by approaching established routines in different ways. That can be as simple as taking a different route to work or as complex as taking a degree in later life. Whether you decide to join a choir, take up a musical instrument or volunteer for a local charity, it’s not really about the activity – it’s about rekindling the youthful spark that encouraged you to experiment and try new things. At the very least it will give your brain some exercise, at best it might be the key to a whole new life.
