This month Abby aka The Fishwife’s Kitchen has given us some fabulous recipes that include ingredients that can be found growing wild. With summer well and truly on the way we love a good evening walk in the sunshine. Now we will be keeping our eyes peeled for wild garlic, elderflowers and nettles so we can make these delicious recipes. We all love a good holiday - whether it’s a staycation or the trip of a lifetime. Reading Ella’s History page really made us appreciate how lucky we are, with the choices we have these days. Wherever you go and whatever you do - ENJOY!! Happy Reading Ali, Cat, Sarah & Francine

HOW TO CONTACT YOUR LOCAL BEAT TEAM To contact your local beat team telephone Nottingham Police on 101

Neighbourhood Policing Sergeant: Stay Safe This Summer Sgt 620 Nicholas Wealthall Team Phone No: 101 Ext: 802 4646 Team Members: PC 2820 Stephen Fletcher PC 1519 Padraig O’hEochaidh PCSO 4769 Martin Carter PCSO 4677 Peter Corten PCSO 4976 Thomas Griffiths
We hope you are enjoying the summer months in our beautiful county and spending time with friends and family. Summer is a fantastic time to go visit local parks across Nottinghamshire but while spending time outdoors it’s important to ensure your property is secure. Security outside your home Ensure your doors and windows are shut and that your keys are kept in a safe place and out of sight, when outside. By leaving your house open in the warmer climate it can entice thieves to your belongings, so please don’t let them have this opportunity.
Dogs trapped in hot cars Please don’t leave dogs in cars – even for a few minutes – as temperatures inside vehicles can rise rapidly, which can distress PCSO 4713 Kaeron dogs. Harris When the weather is warm owners should always ensure that pets PCSO 9640 Sean have plenty of cool, fresh drinking Towriess water available to them. Cars, conservatories and caravans are CPO 9769 Dan Camm not suitable for dogs to be left in. If the animal is starting to show CPO 9912 Lisa Mickle distress but the situation is not life threatening, try to locate the owner to make them aware. If you are in CPO 9916 Craig Moralee a car park anywhere that may have Find your Safer Neighbourhoods a public address system, ask for an team by entering your postcode announcement to be put out. In the meantime, please contact on the homepage of www. the police on 101, giving as much nottinghamshire.police.uk information as you can about the vehicle, registration number and
PCSO 4032 Catherine Denman
location as officers can arrange to attend and try to make contact with the registered keeper of the vehicle to make them aware. If the matter is getting near life or death for the animal please call Nottinghamshire Police on 999 stressing the urgency. Going on holiday If you are leaving your property, please ensure your house is secure and notify neighbours so they can keep an eye on your property. Suspend any deliveries, such as milk and newspapers otherwise it could alert thieves that you aren’t currently at home. Try to make your home look occupied while you are away. Use timer switches on lamps or your radio. Don’t leave valuable items such as laptops and jewellery in view of windows. Ensure that sheds and out buildings are locked and secured. If you have an intruder alarm, make sure it’s set. If you don’t have one consider having an approved alarm system installed. Visit www.nsi.org. uk to find approved companies in your area. Be a good neighbour If you see anyone acting suspiciously in your neighbourhood, call the police on 101 or, in an emergency, 999. If you would like to speak to your local police, call us on 101. There is also plenty of information and advice guides on our website: http://www.nottinghamshire.police. uk/advice

TAROSCOPES Air signs- Libra, Aquarius, Gemini
Earth signs- Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus
Everything starts small.
Every cloud has a silver lining, and every piece of silver creates a cloud. Wishes-come-true can bring pressure (to live up to your dream), unexpected reactions or side issues. Don’t be surprised if this happens this month. All you need to do is to be strong, not necessarily in a ‘brute’ way but by demonstrating other forms of strength- compassion, resilience, faith and courage. A wonderful life event, and lesson, is coming your way.
(Page of Coins, Queen of Cups, The World)
(The Star, The Tower, The Emperor) A life changing month lies ahead…
It’s time to end something big in order to start something small; something exciting. Don’t fear that it doesn’t look like it will replace what you’ve curtailed, because everything starts small. Don’t fret or backtrack to familiar turf, because that day is over anyway. Invest in something/one else. This will become your future if you start it now.
Fire signs- Leo, Aries, Sagittarius
(Ace of Cups, The Devil, Temperance)
Water signs- Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio
(Seven of Wands, Ten of Wands, Justice)
Be different this time around.
Be nice as you walk away.
A new enthralling, enduring romance is possible this month; one that reignites your appreciation for life itself. This time, play things differently to your usual code. Don’t follow the path of least resistance, but try a new approach. Consider where things have gone awry before and consciously break the pattern. This new love has the potential to change you for the better if you let it.
We often end something (a job, relationship, project, hobby) when we get into a conflict or it gets too much. That’s OK. And it’s happening again with something this month, but the important thing here is to be gracious and fair as you cut ties. Don’t disturb Lady Karma (because she remembers). You can escape unscathed if you behave chivalrously.
Kerry Ward is a Nottingham based tarot reader, and Cosmopolitan magazine’s tarot expert, with over 20 years fortune telling experience, and many happy clients all over the world. You can book a personal, written reading, which comes as a beautifully illustrated brochure, at www.tarotbella.etsy.com or follow her at www.facebook.com/mytarotbella.

Nottingham BikeWorks Roles Out New C&G Bike Mechanic Courses N o t - f o r - p r o f i t organisation, Nottingham BikeWorks are delighted to roll out a new training provision from highly regarded training body, City and Guilds. Executive Director, Tom Barber was himself inspired to learn a new skill and take a career change; his love for bikes, resulted in him quitting his 9-5 and opting for a vocation of passion. “I’ve always cycled everywhere and been interested in bikes” says Tom. “So when the idea to start Nottingham BikeWorks gathered momentum it seemed too good an opportunity to miss.” Tom and co-founder Anthony Hopwood, had a clear desire to help disadvantaged children and adults in the local community learn new, practical and usable skills around bicycle repair and maintenance. These hands-on courses have gone from strength to strength since being rolled out in 2015, and the new City and Guilds offerings are another big step down this path. NBW offers 3 C&G courses: Entry Level 3 suitable for those with little or no experience; the more advanced Level 1; and finally Level 2. This 10 day course is a recognised professional, industry standard qualification. To ensure the centre could meet the standards of City and Guilds, Nottingham BikeWorks called upon neighbouring bicycle brand Raleigh, who helped to supply the workshop with 12 identical Raleigh Strada 3, specially selected for their reliability and quality. These bikes will be stripped down and rebuilt multiple times so NBW needed a bike that would stand the test of time. For more information on these City and Guild courses and others offered by Nottingham BikeWorks, please contact them 0115 979 2433; or email admin@nottinghambikeworks.org.uk; or visit their website nottinghambikeworks.org. uk.

WHAT’S NEW AT WEST MIDLAND SAFARI PARK? Staff at West Midland Safari Park have a fun-filled 2017 planned for their visitors, with brand new events, some exciting new arrivals and the chance to meet the latest babies. The Park’s busy events calendar has been updated to include some new exciting conservation weeks, where guests will get the chance to take part in unique VIP experiences, enter competitions to win some amazing money-can’t-buy prizes and learn just what they can do to help, even from the comfort of their own sofa. So come and join us at the park when we host Protect Lions Week on 17-25 June. As well as the new events, guests can come face-to-face with the newest arrivals at the Park - 2016’s babies! Ekozu, the southern white rhino calf, will most likely be charging around the four-mile safari. Then there is the chance to meet the pack of 22 African painted dogs, 14 of which were born in July - the biggest litter the Park has seen. In August and September, the Park welcomed Embu and Emali, two baby Rothschild’s giraffes. Then on 14 January 2017,
another baby giraffe was born. Named ‘Fennessy’ by his keepers, the baby boy already stood at six-feet-tall when he was born. Also new for 2017, a family of gigantic pterosaurs soared into the grounds of West Midland Safari Park and made it their new home. With a wing span averaging around 11 metres, quetzalcoatlus was the largest animal to have ever taken to the skies. West Midland Safari Park is open daily for its summer season from 11 February until 3 November 2017. The standard admission charge is £23.00 for adults, £18.00 for children aged 3-15 and £21.00 for concessions. Admission includes a voucher for a return visit or safari gift. Prices also include admission to the four-mile safari, Discovery Trail exhibits, animal encounters, African Village and live shows. Theme Park rides charged extra in all cases. Further information is available from the Park’s official website www.wmsp.co.uk or by telephone 01299 402114 You can follow the progress of the baby rhino on the Safari Park’s official Facebook page: www.wmsp.co.uk/facebook

rs wer Range o P s w ie v e Bur ton R oot Go Go Reb Power Rangers holds a special place in my heart, starting at a very young age and finally deciding to quit the obsession way too long after I should have! So when Saban and Lionsgate announced they were making a film rebooting the original Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, I, with the rest of the internet, grimaced and just waited for the horrible betrayal of my childhood to be released. Power Rangers follows Jason (Darce Montgomery), Kimberly (Naomi Scott), Billy (RJ Cyler), Trini (Becky G.) and Zach (Ludi Lin), as these teens with attitude discover five unique brightly coloured coins that give them super strength and agility. With the help of Zordon (Bryan Cranston) these five teens learn to unlock their full potential just in time to stop an evil force, in the creepy form of Rita (Elizabeth Banks), destroying the whole world (of course). Probably the most surprising thing about this movie is that it doesn’t really feel like the cheesefest we all thought it would be. Great cinematography and a gritty atmosphere give this film a special feeling that helps the world of the Power Rangers become a tangible and relatable one that, while is taking itself seriously, isn’t afraid to dive into the fun and more outlandish aspects of the original show. Each member of the team had a really interesting backstory that was both surprisingly mature and well handled with modern issues that aren’t explored much in mainstream films. It is this grounded quality that really helps elevate the original Rangers from their cardboard 90s counterparts, to actual living, breathing characters. While the action that does happen is cool and had me smiling like a little boy again, fist pumping for team work and badass explosions, these cool moments of action are skipped over way too fast. No phase of battle is allowed the appropriate time to sit and bask in how epic it was. Instead the film barrels through the final battle, just
missing goosebump level, and leaving me happy at what I just saw, but feeling slightly off about the whole thing. So the film did have its problems, after all, it is a movie called Power Rangers. But the surprising amount of care and thought that was put into the film’s characters, atmosphere and cinematography, coupled with how damn cool the Power Rangers looked once it was time to kick ass and explode some giant monsters, really took me off guard and had me way more into the film than I thought I would be.

Orchard Veterinary Centre Free Flea and Worm Check For Your Pet Fleas are a year long problem; they enjoy your central heating as much as the summer sunshine. Common hotspots for fleas in the home are soft furnishing and carpets; airing cupboards; pet bedding; cars and the garden. If your pet has fleas you should treat your entire house and other areas where your pet may spend time.
www.orchard-vets.co.uk
Lungworm is a life threatening parasite, which dogs can become infected with if they accidently eat infected slugs, snails or even frogs. Symptoms are varied but can include tiring easily, coughing, bleeding problems and weight loss. If treated early enough, a dog can make a full recovery. However, re-infection is possible so on-going preventative treatment is recommended. Roundworms are large white worms that live in the small intestines. Roundworm eggs can survive in the environment for a long time and pets can contract roundworm by accidently swallowing them. Symptoms can include pot belly, poor coat, diarrhoea and poor growth, but symptoms are not always obvious. Humans can be affected by roundworms, they migrate within body tissue and in extreme cases can cause blindness. Tapeworms can affect hunting cats and scavenging dogs. They live in the small intestine. Your pet can contract tapeworm by eating the intermediate host such as mice and even fleas, meaning that even indoor cats can become infected by ingesting fleas. Often your pet will show no signs of having tapeworm. However, tapeworm segments in the poo can cause irritation and pets may “scoot� their bottom across the floor. Vomiting or diarrhoea may also occur.
Orchard Veterinary Group is the trading name of CVS (UK) Limited registered in England and Wales. Registration number 03777473. Registered Office: CVS House, Owen Road, Diss, Norfolk, IP22 4ER.
Bring your pet in for a free flea check with one of our nurses and we can discuss the best parasite treatment for your pet. If you join the Healthy Pet Club, year round flea and worm treatment is included within the membership. package.

Ginny has seen many friends rehomed, and now sadly feels ignored. At 6 years old, she is extremely affectionate and, despite her rough start and a resulting sensitive tummy, she loves smoked salmon! Like all the charity’s cats, Ginny was FIV/ FeLV-tested and is negative. She is spayed, flea and worm treated, micro-chipped, littertrained and vaccinated; her new owner is responsible for further vaccinations. The charity recommends cats are kept indoors for 6-8 weeks, for bonding with the new owner/home, and safely kept indoors at night. To find out more about gorgeous Ginny, contact the Adoption Officer at admin@aaru. org.uk, who will reply as soon as possible. All potential adoptions need a successful homecheck. Cats are not rehomed on or near busy roads, unless indoor-only. The charity is volunteer-run, and needs more drivers and phone operators; to offer help contact Becky Campbell on 07522101619 or email admin@aaru.org.uk. To raise funds, there are monthly fairs full of bargains and refreshments; the next one is on Saturday 10 June 2-4pm, at Lowdham Village Hall, Main Street, Lowdham NG14 7BD. Anyone finding an animal needing emergency transport to a vet should leave a detailed message on 0115-9321555. For all rescued animals needing homes, see www. animalaccident.org.uk.

National Trust
(Nottingham Centre)
Nottingham Centre members have plenty of activities to look forward to over the summer months, including excursions, walks and holidays. Coach Excursions These include a trip to Coventry Cathedral and Leicester Guildhall, Hughenden Manor (NT), Lichfield Cathedral and the National Memorial Arboretum, and in September, Waddesden Manor(NT). Walks Several walks are planned, some of which start from Nottingham by public transport (that’s my kind of walk) to places of particular interest. In June there’s a walk from Bonsall to Rowsley in Derbyshire, in July, a walk from Knowle to Packwood House(NT), in August it’s Crich Stand to Cromford Mill, and finally, in September, Greetham to Edith Weston via Rutland Water. Holidays The short walking holiday in May has become a popular annual event. This year members will enjoy the beauty of Tintern and the Wye Valley. Two other holidays are planned: one in June - ‘Southern Delights’ will explore Hayling Island and Hampshire, while the break in September offers an opportunity to visit Lancashire Hotspots – in particular the Hotspots of Manchester! Garden Group Visits planned for this popular group include Thoresby Hall Gardens and Chatsworth RHS Flower Show. Local and Family History Group In addition to the delights listed above this group offers visits to Ruddington Museums, Stoneywell, the charming recently acquired Arts and Crafts house in Leicestershire (NT), and Beauvale Priory in Nottinghamshire.

Have Your Fill From Nature’s Larder Foraging has, of course, been a part of the human eating experience from the beginning, but in modern times you are more likely to pop to your local supermarket or, if you’re feeling adventurous, to your local farmers’ market for your supply of veg, fruit and salad than you are to grab a bag and head into the woodlands and hedgerows. But in recent years the appetite for foraging has grown in strength, as people enjoy the authenticity of local, seasonal, usually indigenous and, of course, free, food. So in demand has foraged produce become, wild mushrooms in particular, that some places have banned people from picking for personal use altogether, as restaurants and markets have employed those in the know to hunt out the best sites or have turned a blind eye to their sources and picking has been on an almost industrial scale, spoiling the fun for the rest of us. But there is still much to be found in the English countryside, if you just take the time to look. The pièce de résistance of foraging for many is the amazing array of wild mushrooms and fungi that appear from late summer to late autumn. I used to go mushroom hunting a lot when I was younger, morels, chanterelles, field mushrooms and boletes, but I find as I’ve got older I have
become increasingly risk averse and am no longer prepared to take a chance on mistaking my innocuous field mushroom for the deadly similar Deathcap. Whilst there isn’t much to beat wild fungi on the flavour front, I strongly recommend you only gather them with a qualified expert at your side, or better still, pop to a local market and find the farmed versions. Even without mushrooms though, you’ll find a host of edible species in the fields, woods and hedgerows from early spring to late autumn, favourites such as elderflower and wild garlic, nettles, blackberries, sloes and rosehips and the less well known wild sorrel, mallow and fat hen - perfect for creating your own salads, cordials, jams, beers and soups, pretty much for free. There are rules though! Never pick or eat anything you are unsure of, if in doubt, leave well alone, only take from plentiful supplies and never dig up or remove any kind of plant, take only what you intend to eat and always seek permission from the landowner if you are on private land. You can find further advice from the Woodland Trust on-line. If you do fancy dipping into nature’s larder though, here are a few really simple recipes to get you started.
Abby Brennan is a former café-owner, food writer, speaker and small/start-up food-business mentor. You can find her blog at fishwifeskitchen.com
Wild Garlic and Nettle Soup (April/May)
Elderflower Cordial (June/July)
Bramble Jam (August/ September)
Play around with the recipe as you see fit, a dash of white wine and/ or double cream (at the end) make great additions. (Caution, unless you know you are gathering “dead nettles” with the white or purple flowers, make sure you wear gloves, the sting goes once the nettles are cooked but not before!)
Ingredients 2.5 kg white caster sugar 2 lemons (unwaxed or washed, zested and sliced) 20 fresh elderflower heads (trim off the stalks) 85g citric acid (most chemists sell this)
Ingredients 450g brambles (wild blackberries), rinsed well. 450g white granulated sugar (blackberries can be low in pectin so you might what to improve your chances of a good set by using “jam sugar” which has pectin added) Juice of 1 large lemon.
Ingredients (serves 4-6) 1 tbsp vegetable oil 25g butter 1 onion finely diced 1 leek, 1 celery stick & 1 carrot finely diced (the last optional) 1 small potato, peeled and diced Approx 1 ltr of good chicken or veg stock Roughly 300g young nettle leaves (washed) Roughly 200g wild garlic leaves (washed) 3 tbsp milk Method Heat oil & butter in a large pan, add onion & potato (& other veg if using) add a generous pinch of salt, stir well & allow to sweat for around 15 - 20 mins on a low heat. Add stock & simmer for 10 mins then add nettles (in batches) and garlic leaves. Simmer for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat & blend using a stick blender. Return to the heat & add milk (or cream). Season to taste. You can also use the young wild garlic stems as a side dish, simply place in a pan with a tight fitting a lid, add a splash of water & a knob of butter & let the stems & leaves steam for a few minutes until wilted.
(makes about 4 litres)
Method Put sugar & 1.5 litres water into a large saucepan. Heat gently (without boiling) until all sugar is dissolved. Bring the pan to a boil then remove from the heat. Gently rinse the flowerheads in a washing-up bowl or bucket to remove any dirt & insects, shake off the excess water & add the flowers, lemon slices, zest & citric acid to the syrup. Stir well, cover & leave to infuse for 24 hrs. Line a colander with a clean tea-towel or piece of muslin & place over a large bowl, ladle in the syrup and allow to drip slowly through. Discard any bits and then use a funnel to fill freshly sterilised bottles. The cordial will keep for about 4 weeks in the fridge. Add to soda water or sparkling white wine for a refreshing summer drink.
(should make a couple of jars)
Method Put the brambles in a pan & add the lemon juice, simmer gently for around 15mins. When the fruit is cooked, add the sugar & cook over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Turn the heat up & bring to a boil, keep at a rolling boil, & keep stirring for around 15 minutes until setting point is reached. (Either a temp of 104.5C or when a spoonful of jam dropped on a freezing cold saucer wrinkles and sets when pushed with your finger). Fill your sterilised jars with the jam, seal & allow to cool before storing in the fridge.
Wildy Good by Cat Hedges
Welcoming isn't the word, this place is marvellous. The staff were great, the food delicious and the decor modern and inviting. The kids (6 & 8) were spoilt with paper chef's hats to colour, stickers and sweets on top of the usual kids menu to colour and crayons which kept them occupied and happy throughout the whole meal. Wildwood are a small collection of restaurants that serve freshly prepared food with a European theme. As the name might suggest they are very conscious of their social and environmental responsibilities with regards to the food they source, how their restaurants are run and the work they do in the local community. In fact they protect 1 acre of rain forest per year per restaurant, so right now they are protecting 19 acres!! We started our meal with Toasted Focaccia Bread (£3.95), ‘melt in the mouth’ Meatballs with tomato sauce and melted cheese (£5.65) and the Baked Mushrooms with melted gorgonzola cheese, spinach, walnuts and focaccia (£5.95) absolutely delicious. For mains the kids chose Breaded Chicken, Chips and Peas (£5.95 with a dessert) from the kids menu, with real chicken strips they went down a treat. My teenager decided on the Margherita Pizza (£7.75) which was absolutely amazing as it was cooked in a
proper pizza oven and reminded us of Italy. Brett had the Sirloin Steak (£15.95) which was cooked to perfection and served with a delicious peppercorn sauce. I went for the Wild Boar & Chorizo Burger(£11.65) with jalapenos and mayo, it was absolutely scrummy and a great twist on a classic. We were all suitably stuffed but couldn't resist the desserts! The kids had ice cream as part of the kids menu and were spoilt again with cones, sprinkles, sauce and marshmallows! Brett chose the Mixed Berry Crumble (£5.50) from the specials board which was delicious and being a chocoholic I had the Chocolate Honeycomb Fudgecake (£5.75) which was divine and I will definitely be returning but not just for that!

HIIT
HIIT stands for High Intensity Interval Training. It can be a combination of or an individual exercise performed for a stated period with short rest intervals to break the intensity up followed by a short 1 to 2-minute rest. HIIT training is designed to push your heart and respiratory rate above an endurance level creating something called EPOC, excess post oxygen consumption. It is basically in short, the body taking in more than needed amounts of oxygen triggering fat stores to be used for energy.
Here is an example of a HIIT circuit that can be performed either in a gym or at home.
HIIT Circuit • 15-20 minutes’ total time (see how long you can last with maximum effort) • 4 minute rounds – within these 4 minutes you work flat out on each exercise for 20 seconds with a 10 second rest • Each 4-minute round should have 8 x 20 seconds of exercise.
This also creates a continuous reaction for a period after exercise where the body will look to replace the depleted energy store by breaking fat down to fuel the body until the body starts to receive carbohydrates to bring the blood sugar levels back up.
• After each 4-minute round take a 2-minute recovery break, as soon as the 2 minutes are up you start the next exercise.
A little piece of advice, if you are going to use HIIT as a form of exercise to lose bodyfat it is highly recommended you only use healthy carbs to recover. Consuming refined sugar will only speed up the uptake of carbs into the blood stream increasing your insulin and inevitably leading to a sweet tooth craving.

Are you beach ready? might be asking yourself, what does a You psychotherapist know about getting beach ready? Surely someone who deals with matters of the mind isn’t going to be of much use in helping me to look good in a bikini? You’d be quite right – there are other people far more knowledgeable than me in matters of diet and exercise to help you look your best on the beach if that is what you want to do. I am speaking to the rest of you. Those of you who would maybe like to put in the time and effort to diet and exercise but know that realistically, that’s probably not going to happen this year. Should you resign yourself to buying a cheap tent from Decathlon and wearing that on the beach?No. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to feel comfortable in their own skin, no matter what size they are, no matter whether they have scars, stretch marks, folds of skin or any of the other bodily attributes that tend to get airbrushed out of media coverage. That doesn’t mean that if you wish to change your shape or lose weight that you shouldn’t try to do that - just that it doesn’t help you to feel bad about yourself right now. Very few people manage to make positive changes to their lifestyles or their lives by beating themselves up and tearing themselves to shreds. In actual fact, that is more likely to get in the way of positive change – after all, who feels like doing something positive for themselves after taking a verbal battering? One of the most important things you can do for your own body confidence is forget all about the images that you get fed through the media every single day. Those images are not a true reflection of how real people look – even the people in those
images don’t look like that in real life. The images are so digitally manipulated – stretched, slimmed down, every single human flaw edited out at the click of a mouse – that you will never be able to achieve that in real life and will only make yourself miserable trying. Nobody is perfect, not even the models that smile down on us from the billboards, and you will find it much easier to be at ease with yourself physically if you no longer try to live up to such unrealistic standards. In reality, when you are sat on the beach in your swimsuit, no one will actually be paying as much attention to you as you think they are. We tend to think that everyone is looking at us, most likely thinking negative thoughts about how we look or what we are doing, but really those people are doing exactly what you are doing, sat there wondering what everyone is thinking of them in their swimsuit. The truth is, most people are usually too busy thinking about their own stuff and their own lives to be paying too much attention to you and your life. Just to finish, whilst writing this article I came across a great tip for body confidence and I love it. The tip is... smile more. If you catch someone looking your way, give them a big smile as though you are brimming with confidence – not only will the other person think that you are indeed brimming with confidence, you will make yourself feel better too. Wear what you like on the beach as long as you wear it with a huge smile and spend more time having fun and enjoying your life than worrying about what you look like.
