Transport: Major Rail Improvements On Track As the MP for Beverley and Holderness, ensuring that the region’s transport infrastructure is continuously improving has been an area of significant interest me. It is good rail links between the towns, villages and cities of the North East that drives regional growth and builds on the quality of life of my constituents. .

I’ve met with Louise Cheeseman, the Managing Director of Hull Trains, frequently over recent months, initially to discuss solutions to the service issues, and thereafter to learn about the company’s plans for transforming travel on its trains.

I’m delighted by the major

improvements to rail that we’ll see and are seeing this year. Hull Trains will be introducing its own modern fleet of Hitachi 802’s for rail users across the region later this year, while LNER’s new fleet of Azuma Trains is now running between London and Hull. The upgrade to trains will make travelling more comfortable; crucially, we can also expect the services to be more reliable.

It is also excellent news that from 20th May 2019 there has been an additional service running from London Kings Cross to Beverley through Cottingham and vice versa. Beverley is a beautiful town

that we’re fortunate enough to be able to call home. Another direct London service should boost tourism from the South benefitting local businesses. Furthermore, with several regional stops, crowding should be reduced on other services; there will also be greater flexibility for Beverley residents

travelling around the East Riding.

New Academy Launched to Train Future Farmers One of the country’s largest family owned farming business has teamed up with a leading agricultural college to launch a new academy which will train the industry’s future workforce.

JSR Farms will run its new academy in partnership with Bishop Burton College to give aspiring young farmers the opportunity to launch an exciting career in the sector.

Students will split their time between gaining work experience at JSR and studying at Bishop Burton and will have the opportunity to benefit from cash incentives during the 12-month programme. At the end of their course, successful candidates will immediately start a competitively paid apprenticeship with JSR and will have future opportunities to progress their career with the company.

Tim Rymer, CEO of JSR Farms, said: “We are delighted to invest alongside Bishop Burton College in the JSR Academy. We want to encourage young people to develop a career in agriculture.

Whether it is crop or pig husbandry, the JSR Academy offers individuals an opportunity to acquire practical knowledge and skills and join a company at the forefront of modern agriculture. ‘’ JSR Farms is one of the most respected farming companies in the UK. Operating and maintaining land extensively throughout East

BeverleyMag June 2019

Yorkshire, it farms around 4,000 hectares of arable crop production within a 20-mile radius of the home farm at Southburn.

The JSR Group includes two operational companies; JSR Genetics, an international pig breeding company and JSR Farms, an integrated arable farming business that feeds home grown cereals to pigs efficiently.

Bishop Burton is a renowned agricultural college, based near Beverley. It was recently part of a successful bid to become one of the country’s first Institutes of Technology (IoT) and, as a result, will receive a multi-million pound investment for new training facilities and technology.

It is also undergoing a complete refurbishment of its high-welfare pig unit.

Bill Meredith, Chief Executive and Principal of Bishop Burton, said: “We are committed to training current and future generations of farmers and this is a really exciting venture.

“I am delighted the college is working in partnership with JSR. This new academy will provide an

Pictured: Bishop Burton College Chief Executive and Principal, Bill Meredith opportunity to launch a career in agriculture with one of the leading businesses in the country.”

Students on the new academy will study a range of modules which will lead to a framework of qualifications. Subjects will include pig production, animal health, plant biology and business and management.

Applicants do not need any formal entry requirements but will have an interview to determine whether they are suitable for the programme.

For more information, contact Helen Martin at Bishop Burton College on 01964 504164 or at Helen.Martin@bishopburton.ac.uk.

7 Things you can do to get an organised wardrobe Follow these organising rules to whip your wardrobe into shape and say goodbye to clutter Fed up with facing a tangle of T-shirts? Sick of scrabbling around for a clean pair of socks?

These rules will help you transform your wardrobe from a messy jumble into a gleaming model of efficiency.

Pack away off-season clothes

wardrobe efficiency is to take out anything that isn’t seasonally appropriate. You don’t need to have summer clothes accessible in winter and vice versa, so get these out of the way to slim down the number of items you’re attempting to sort through every morning.

Store off-season clothes in lidded boxes under the bed or on top of the wardrobe to keep them dustfree, then step back and assess your wardrobe more clearly.

The first step on the road to

Sort by type…

Take everything out and place into piles according to the type of garment and/or level of formality.

For example, group all knitwear together then sort by type, from lightweight to heavyweight, or from office wear to casual outdoor layers.

Separate formal work shirts from casual weekend shirts, group all trousers together and sort dresses

BeverleyMag June 2019

by formal to casual. T-shirts and tops might also need to be sorted from casual to smart and from longsleeved to short-sleeved.

…then by colour

Once you’ve sorted your clothes into garment types, the next stage is to sort by colour. Within each clothing type, arrange items from dark to light, though the colours of the rainbow.

House & Home Fold everything that doesn’t need a hanger

Soft T-shirts, casual tops and most knitwear can be neatly folded and placed on shelves within your wardrobe or an adjacent chest of drawers. This will clear hanging space for items that need it, such as jackets, shirts and dresses.

Group accessories

Want to take it up a notch? If you’re super-organised, you might also want to sort your patterned items into stripes, florals and so on, or you could place them into the colour order by the dominant colour within the pattern.

Ask yourself one question

Now you’ve started to get some order, it’s time for a ruthless edit.

Ask yourself one simple question: if you saw this item in a shop today, would you buy it? If the answer is no, or ‘maybe’, then it might need to go.

It’s easy to hang on to clothes for sentimental reasons, or because you think you ‘might’ wear them one day. But if you haven’t worn

BeverleyMag June 2019

something for a year or so, and if you wouldn’t buy it again today, then it doesn’t need to take up valuable space in your wardrobe.

Subdivide

Now it’s time to put everything back in your wardrobe, so you’ll need to reconsider the layout of the space.

A single rail inside your wardrobe isn’t likely to cut the mustard, so see if you can squeeze in an extra, lower rail to divide the vertical space in two.

Alternatively, buy a shelving system that fits inside your wardrobe to create a patchwork of differentsized sections. You can then customise it to suit your exact needs.

The key to keeping these piles of folded clothes organised is to fold them all uniformly, with the sleeves and hems tucked neatly inside.

You will then have a clean row of organised items facing you when you open the cupboard or drawer, rather than a toppling tower with sleeves trailing down.

Last but not least, turn your attention to your accessories.

Treat scarves, bags and shoes as you would your clothes and store anything that isn’t seasonal out of sight. Then fold, colour-code and organise your accessories by type before placing them back on shelves or in dedicated storage boxes on the floor of your wardrobe.

Clear boxes are useful for seeing what’s inside at a glance, and a small storage unit like this one with pullout drawers would make it even easier to access items.

Planning permission changes: home extensions to be allowed without full planning application The permitted development rules were originally a temporary measure, but the Government has now made them permanent Permitted development rights, which allow homeowners and others to carry out certain building works on a property without the need for planning permission from the council or approval from neighbours, were originally brought in as a temporary measure in 2013.

More than 110,000 extensions have been completed in England since 2014, according to the Government, and now the rules have been made permanent.

Other types of extension for example side returns or basements - may also require full planning permission.

Extensions cannot cover more than half the area of land around the original house or be higher than it and the materials used should be similar in appearance to the existing house.

Housing minister Kit Malthouse MP said the new permissions will “help families extend their properties without battling through time-consuming red tape”.

If you live in a conservation, you may still need to get planning permission or listed buildings consent before going ahead with your extension. Check the rules on the Government’s planning portal or with the planning department of your local authority.

“By making this permitted development right permanent, it will mean families can grow without being forced to move,” he said.

Planning permission for extensions The new rules allow homeowners in semi-detached and terraced houses to add a single-storey rear extension to their property of up to six metres. For those in detached houses, the limit is eight metres.

Any planned extension that is taller than this or that exceeds one storey will still need to go through the planning process.

BeverleyMag June 2019

permitted development, such as loft conversions where the added roof space created is under 40 cubic metres for a terrace house, and 50 cubic metres for a detached and semi-detached house.

Do I need planning permission?

The basis for permitted development rights is to allow people to extend their homes outwards without the need for a full planning application, though homeowners are reminded to consider the impact their plans may have on their neighbours.

The rules cannot be applied to flats, maisonettes or other buildings.

Certain types of home alteration are already allowed under

How long does planning permission last?

If people want to make changes to their home that are not covered by permitted development rights and need

planning permission, they will need to apply to the local planning authority.

If permission is granted, it will generally allow people a period of three years to start the works.

If this does not happen, a planning application will likely need to be made again.

What other changes have been made?

Business owners on the high street will also feel the positive effects of the Government’s changes.

Wider reforms being introduced alongside the permitted development rights include the ability to transform shops into office spaces without the need for a full planning application.

Generation Rent downsizing shows the housing market is totally broken It’s the millennials - not the boomers - who are downsizing. And, counterintuitively, more financial breaks for older owners could be the answer

Young people in the UK are four times more likely to be planning to downsize than those over the age of 55 – and it’s much more likely to be about money than about giving up unnecessary space.

People aged between 18 and 34 are more likely to move to smaller homes than larger ones, according to research from Hargreaves Lansdown. This age group is usually expected to be heading up the property ladder.

While 9 per cent of people in that age group expect to trade up this year, whether renting or buying, 12 per cent say they will be downsizing.

“Not only does this mean an insecure and peripatetic lifestyle, but as rents rise, tenants may be forced to keep downsizing in order to keep a lid on costs – especially if they’re simultaneously trying to save for a home themselves,” says Sarah Coles, personal finance analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.

“When they eventually buy, they may have to downsize again in some areas to get on to the property ladder, but the sooner people can save and buy a property of their own, the sooner they can take control.”

The numbers say it all

Analysis carried out by the Resolution Foundation shows that in England there are just 825 homes

BeverleyMag June 2019

for every 1,000 families in England.

The foundation argues that the rise in shared households, such as when young professionals live together or adults live with their parents, has happened out of necessity rather than choice, as there simply are not enough properties to go around.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) recently reported that tenant demand continued to rise for a third successive month in March, while new landlord instructions slipped further.

Meanwhile, data from the Office for National Statistics shows that rental prices paid by tenants in the UK rose by 1.2 per cent in the 12 months to March 2019. Between January 2015 and March 2019, private rental prices in the UK increased by 7.3 per cent.

Last year, RICS warned that small scale landlords were pulling out of the market and reducing the supply of rental property. That could mean rents climb by as much as 15 per cent by 2023, it warned.

If that analysis is shown to be correct then even more young renters and aspiring homeowners may find they need to downsize either to save a deposit or simply afford their rent.

Barriers to downsizing

If the cost of homes is one reason Generation Rent are so likely to downsize, the cost of moving is a barrier to many baby boomers.

Earlier this month, Saga revealed that a quarter of older, would-be downsizers are put off moving because of barriers such as stamp duty.

Its research suggested that 45 per cent of those over 50 would consider downsizing as an option to help fund their retirement. That’s a substantial number of wouldbe downsizers – and yet younger people are still more likely to do it.

A report from the centre-right think tank Policy Exchange last year revealed that there are 1.1 million homes in England with two or more spare bedrooms where a single person aged over 65 lives.

And when over-50s do go smaller, they’re not always pleased with the results. A report this week from financial services provider One Family showed that 20 per cent of over-60s who did downsize were disappointed by how much money they freed up by doing so.

So why aren’t more of this age group downsizing instead?

In fact, the research showed that the average older downsizer ends

up with just under £106,000 from the sale of their property, which is £28,650 less than they expected.

They’re likely to tell their friends what a disappointment that was, reducing the attraction of downsizing for retired people.

But then, they are in a position to downsize in order to free up wealth, a very different situation from younger renters who do so to stretch their monthly income further.

Jeff Bromage, managing director of Saga Money, thinks that a stamp duty break for older downsizers might help them move, increasing liquidity in the market. A stamp duty holiday for first-time buyers has been in place since the 2017 Autumn Budget.

Mr Bromage said: “It was great that the government acted to help first time buyers, but this is only part of the solution. More needs to be done to help free up more family homes to the market in order to continue the supply of first homes.”

5 best foods for gut health, according to nutritionists

Gut health is a hot topic of conversation at the moment and with a plethora of info out there it can also be a very confusing one. The underlying point is that having a healthy gut is an intrinsic part of our overall wellbeing that has an impact on myriad areas of the body including the immune system and brain health just to name a few.

APPLES When stewed apples provide a readily and easily absorbed source of pectin fibre for our gut microbiome (aka the trillions of microorganisms that reside in the gut).

This helps to “feed” these microbes to support their production of antiinflammatory substances such as butyrate. This is important for the entire body and not just gut health.

In general, having a diverse intake of fruits and veggies provides a variety of fibre that brings diversity in the microbiome to support a healthier gut overall so eat the rainbow might be a bit of cliché but

it’s one of the basic things you can do for your gut.

CHEESE Cheese and other cultured dairy products such as milk kefir, yogurt and butter contain sources of bacteria that are believed to be beneficial for gut health as well short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) to help nourish the barrier of the gut.

It is believed that in a small serving of cheese you are potentially ingesting trillions of microorganisms.

If you can get unpasteurised even better for the diversity of species.

Fermented veggies, can provide plant-based sources of these beneficial bacteria, and include foods such as sauerkraut, kimchi and kvass.

CHOCOLATE (& RED WINE!) Yes, it’s true that both chocolate and wine contain polyphenols that support the microbiome. Try to get the higher percentage (70% minimum) dark chocolate for these benefits and where possible opt for the organic and biodynamic wines.

Obviously, this comes with a caveat of sticking to moderation on both, but a little bit of what you fancy in this case is good for you, and for your gut!

BONE BROTH Contains collagen and amino acids that support the health of the barrier function of the gut keeping it nice and robust. These nutrients also have an anti-inflammatory soothing effect on the gut. There is something in the saying “chicken soup for the soul”, although in this case it might be more apropos for the gut! Go for organic with this if buying or just as easily make from organic bones at home.

SOURDOUGH This bread is made with the process of fermentation and then baked.

This traditional way of making bread can tend to make it easier on the gut due to the fermentation process that essentially “predigests” proteins such as gluten as well as removing substances that can be irritating to the gut. Add a general slathering of organic butter and you have a simple slice of gut (and taste bud) heaven

Roy Woodcock’s

World of Wine I thought I would use this month’s column to do a round-up of some of the latest wine news doing the rounds, starting with the fact that Waitrose is launching nine new own label wines this month from “lesser-known” grape varieties.

The “W” range, which launches on June 17, will feature wines from different regions and countries including Sardinia, Austria and Chile.

It follows a survey by the supermarket which showed the most familiar grape varieties in the UK are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

They were recognised by at least 85 per cent of the 2,000 people surveyed.

However, 78 per cent of people had not heard of the nine wines in the “W” range.

There are four reds: A Marselan IGP Méditerrané from the Languedoc region in France, (RRP £6.99), a Pais from Chile (£7.99), a Cannonau from Sardinia, Cannonau being the local name for Grenache (£8.99) and a Mencia from north-western Spain (£9.99).

Added to these will be three whites; an Elbling from Germany (£6.99), an Arinto from Lisbon, a

versatile grape grown in most of Portugal’s wine regions (£7.99) and a Petit Manseng from Juraçon in France (£9.99).

Finally, there will be one rosé Zweigelt from Austria (£8.99); and a sparkling Pecorino from Italy (£8.99).

Waitrose wine buying manager James Bone has said: “We want this range to inspire and encourage our shoppers to experiment even further with their wine choices and try something they’ve never heard of or tried before.

“We’ve worked with talented winemakers across Europe and South America to bring together a range of wonderfully exciting wines at affordable prices, some of which have never been widely available in the UK before. We see this as an ever evolving range which we hope to expand even further in the future.”

Waitrose said the survey also showed that France and Italy were the most popular European countries with UK wine drinkers, with 68 per cent of respondents saying they had tried French wine compared to only 11 per cent of people that had tried wine from Sardinia.

And while on the subject of supermarkets and wine, I found this story interesting . . . it seems trials of till-free stores by Sainsbury’s has meant that wine and other alcoholic drinks cannot be age verified and so cannot be sold legally.

It seems Sainsbury’s has got around this by removing all alcohol from those stores.

The concept of shop and walk where cameras monitor what you have purchased and charge you automatically has been tried by a number of retailers, including Amazon. There are a number of potential solutions such as RFID tags (currently used in the UK over the lids of high value spirits) but they require the customer to go to a sales representative to have the cap removed and this slows down the sales process, defeating the object of going till-free. * Environmental issues are rightly well to the fore at the moment, so this caught my eye: Claims that the higher carbon footprint associated with organics, and the environmental damage from over-relying on one spray, mean organics should be dropped to save the environment.

That’s the view from climate change activist and leading Port producer, Adrian Bridge, who has made it clear that he wouldn’t be embracing organic approaches to vineyard management in a bid to make his business more environmentally-friendly.

Bridge gave an example of Taylors LBV Port: “Currently, our carbon footprint for Taylors LBV is 2.8 kilos of carbon per litre, which is down seven per cent over the past two years, but, if I compare that figure to 2014, when it was 2.4 kilos, then you would think that we have got worse – we are producing more carbon dioxide.”

He explained the difference was associated with lower yields, not a change in CO2 consumed. With organics producing 25 per cent less grapes, it means 25 per cent more carbon per bottle vs non-organics.

And Miguel Torres, in a discussion

with on-line magazine The Drinks Business, said that he wouldn’t be converting all his estate to organics because of the increased amount of energy required to manage vines in this manner, as well as the extensive use of copper.

The restriction in sprays to manage mildew means organic producers used more of the copper sulphate than other growers which builds up in the soil.

Miguel also said that because copper is less effective than synthetic chemicals against fungal diseases such as mildew, it needs to be applied more often, which in turn produces more carbon emissions from the greater number of miles travelled by the vehicles spraying the heavy metal.

Meanwhile, the Wine And Spirits Trade Association has come out against the inclusion of glass bottles in a Deposit Return Scheme currently being investigated by the Government; although it has to be said the main driver for the scheme is to reduce the estimated 13 billion plastic drinks bottles a year that UK consumers get through.

WSTA chief executive Miles Beale said: “The WSTA has long argued that there is no evidence to support the inclusion of glass in the deposit return scheme.

What is clear is that including glass drastically increases costs, which ultimately will end up being paid for by the consumer.”

I’ll be working to bring the customers a menu of good, homely food at prices everyone can afford, as well as a traditional Sunday carvery.”

Red says, “Having spent some time working with Paul over recent weeks, we are confident he is ideal for the pub. He has a wealth of experience and shares our vision for the future. Our team is growing stronger all the time and we’re looking forward to a very busy summer!”

A warm welcome awaits!

Let’s get veggie Our favourite pasta dish is proven to please!

Whether for health reasons, animal rights, sustainability, or simply personal preference, people across the world have been making changes to what they’re eating. Vegetarianism and veganism are growing in popularity each year, and as we hear more about the impact of our eating habits on the environment, the more the conversation grows.

Whatever your reasons for going meat-free, vegetarian, vegan or whatever label you choose, it’s making a difference – and you don’t have to make your changes full-time either. One meat-free day a week could be a great step to start experimenting in the kitchen. Plus, opting for more veggies in your diet is no bad thing. Not only can it be more cost-effective, it calls for education and experimentation.

With World Meat Free Week this month (17th–23rd June 2019), we challenge you to try something new. Maybe choose a veggie dish in a restaurant, buy a new cookbook, or dive in and see what you can make. This recipe is simple and delicious, and a great intro to vegetarian cooking.

ROAST VEGETABLE PASTA Serves 4 Ingredients 4 garlic cloves 6 shallots, halved 2 sweet peppers, chopped 1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed 1 chilli pepper, chopped 3⁄4 cup almond milk 240g rigatoni pasta Olive oil Salt and pepper Optional: a side salad or tenderstem broccoli, a grating of parmesan, or a crumbling of feta.

BeverleyMag June 2019

Method l Preheat oven to 200 degrees, gas mark 6. l Prepare the vegetables and add the shallots, garlic, sweet peppers and butternut squash to a baking tray. Drizzle over olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 35 minutes. l Remove the veg from the oven and leave to cool. In a pan, bring water to boil. Add your pasta (rigatoni is my favourite) and cook for 10–12 minutes. l To make the sauce, add the vegetables to your blender or food processor. Add the almond milk, a glug of olive oil, and salt and pepper. Combine until smooth. l Drain the pasta and add the sauce. Mix well. Serve with a side salad or some greens, garnish with parmesan or a crumbling of feta cheese. Enjoy.

OUR EXPERT SAYS...

This is a really quick and easy vegetarian dish. The colourful veggies make it rich in antioxidants, which will help keep you healthy, and the fibre will help keep blood sugar levels more stable. If possible, try to use red, yellow or orange peppers; they have a sweeter taste and a better nutrient profile.

Butternut squash is also a good source of fibre and vitamin A – vital for good eye health and an effective immune system. To have a bit of texture, I would only blend half or two thirds of the vegetable mix, and leave the rest chunky.

Wholemeal pasta provides more fibre, releases energy slowly, and controls blood sugar levels more effectively than white pasta, so swap as you see fit.

To make this dish nutritionally complete, I would add some additional low-fat, high fibre protein in the form of beans, such as cannellini or butter beans.

They could also be blended with some lemon juice and garlic (resembling hummus) and folded

into the sauce to make it extra creamy.

To make this completely vegetarian, substitute the

parmesan for a vegetarianfriendly alternative, or to make it vegan, opt for a vegan cheese or omit the cheese completely.

Pimp up your salad Nutritionist Karen Mann shows you how to super boost your salad As the weather warms up and we start to enjoy the bounty of fresh veg and leaves that summer provides, I thought I’d tell you about some of my favourite superfoods to add to your salads for an extra nutrient boost.

BROCCOLI SPROUTS: made from sprouted broccoli seeds, these

new super sprouts are hitting the shelves of many mainstream supermarkets. I get organic ones in my weekly veg delivery box. Packed with antioxidants, especially the plane chemical sulforaphane, these tiny nutrient powerhouses have a whole host of cancer fighting compounds inside them. Sprinkle onto your salads or on top of an oatcake with hummus. If you can’t find them in your local shop, you can also sprout them yourself!

SAUERKRAUT: pickled cabbage, made with just water, salt and a few spices, this gut friendly superfood is a great way to add flavour to a salad. Make your own or buy from a health food score, start with a teaspoon per day and build up to a heaped tablespoon.

Your friendly gut bugs will thank you for it! My favourite combo is with smoked mackerel, apple chunks and lots of leaves.

TAHINI: one of my favourite ways to make dressings, tahini is ground up sesame seeds.

A brilliant source of calcium, this seed paste makes a delicious, low sugar dressing. Just put a couple of tablespoons in a jam jar, with ½ or 1 teaspoon of honey, about 50ml of hot water and a dash of tamari or soya sauce, or a pinch of sale. You can also add some freshly grated

garlic or garlic powder, perhaps some chilli if you like it spicy.

Shake well and pour over your salad (makes 2 co 3 portions).

AVOCADO: I couldn’t miss out my favourite salad ingredient, the avocado. Packed with healthy monounsaturated fat, which is such an integral part of the Mediterranean diet known to be so good for our cardiovascular health. Add 1/3 to ½ of avocado per person - either in slices or chunks, or blitz it with a dash of water and chopped coriander, then mix it into your salad to coat all the leaves and veg.

Finally, don’t forget to add some protein to your salad, because this will help you to feel fuller for longer. Chickpeas or mixed beans, chicken, fish, eggs.

Cottage cheese, feta or tofu all add a great source of protein.

Rebekah’s

Beauty Box Favourites. We’ve all got them, and for me my desert island product is absolutely mascara.

Giving support and structure to many a tired eye, I believe it’s possible to brush a little of the black stuff through your lashes seconds before rushing out of the door, and head into the world looking – and more importantly feeling – ready for anything the day throws at you.

I’m really fussy when it comes to coating my lashes, and it takes a lot from a tube to impress me.

The one I always return to is Too Faced Better Than Sex (£16.15, Debenhams) and while I’m sure we can all agree it has an awful name, I encourage you to give it a chance as it has the most wonderfully uplifting formula for thick, dramatic lashes. If a more natural look is more your thing, however, then pick up Glossier Lash Slick (£14, glossier.com).

It perfectly coats each individual lash, making them dark and separated without being too fullon.

“What if your mascara could provide care and nourishment?”

And what if your mascara could provide care and nourishment while also making your peepers pop? The Airbase Lash Extend mascara (£22, airbasemakeup.com) is designed with exactly that in mind. An ideal option for daily wear, it contains a growth-enhancing super-serum to help prevent loss of lashes as well as improving the strength of existing lashes. Lord & Berry Boost Treatment MasCare (£16, lookfantastic.com) is another two-in-one mascara that creates instant drama whilst nourishing your natural lashes with a blend of Panthenol and Biotinyl-Amino Acid for promoting growth.

For a cheap and cheerful option, I’ve been using Essence False Lash Effect Princess from Wilko for years, and it costs just £3.30! Such a bargain and a seriously good formula. And for my favourite mascara for going all out and creating a dramatic look – and great if you shy away from falsies – is IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara (£19, Boots). This tube lasts for ages and the formula is thick and super dark.

If you struggle with a lack of curve to your lashes, or are not up for extensions, there is a treatment available called LVL (length, volume, lift) which uses a setting serum to straighten your natural lashes at the root, giving the appearance of added length and curl. You’ll also get a tint at the same time to add colour and depth. Most good beauty salons across Beverley and the East Riding will offer this treatment. I had it locally for £55, and it lasted about six weeks.

Pick of the Month MASCARA

A brand I was once only able to get when travelling to the US, Pretty Vulgar is now available on Beautybay.com, and I encourage you to pick up The Feathers mascara (£14) for pure packaging appeal.

This beautifully gilded tube looks like a birdcage, and while it’s just so pretty, it also packs a punch for volumised, clump-free lashes and is vegan and crueltyfree too.

Rebekah’s Beauty Hacks of the Month

For swimmers, beach babes, or those simply partial to a few tears over the new series of Queer Eye (no judgement here!) you’ll want something a little more hardcore.

Mavala Waterproof Mascara (£11,

BeverleyMag June 2019

feelunique.com) is silk protein enriched and delivers a long-lasting formula on a curvy brush, perfect for lifting lashes.

Baby powder with mascara Often, on the advertisements for mascara, they promise both volume and length of eyelashes, extreme black color and shine and everything.

However, this is often not the case. But for this, there is a trick – baby powder! Apply one coat of mascara, and dip the cotton swab in baby powder and go over the lashes, then apply a second coat. You will be thrilled with the result.

Revive the dried mascara Add five drops of saline (or contact lens fluid), shake, and then heat up the mascara flask bottle for 30 seconds to make the ingredients united.

Female Focus

Looking After Number One! Jane Gough, Director of BeverleyMag reveals how she stays sane throughout the year with the power of essential oils, real food and other routines that have become a part of her everyday life.

With a busy work and home life I have to be focussed on every aspect of my personal wellbeing. I ignore the fad diets and quick fixes and incorporate natural remedies, good food and a few other key choices that I’d like to share with you..

ESSENTIAL OILS I love my essential oils. They are a nourishing and effective way of gaining emotional and mental balance, especially after the hectic days I spend running this magazine.

REAL FOOD Eating wholefoods does wonders.

I don’t believe in punishing oneself with restrictions and diets,

for gaining clarity and energy.

Even when you can’t ‘switch off’ the mind, no meditation is ever wasted! If it’s a little challenging guided meditation can be a good option too.

rather it’s about enjoying real food and making it a lifestyle. It’s worth going to our local farmer’s markets as the produce is much fresher and usually pesticide-free.

It’s also nice to know the faces behind the food you eat.

GET PHYSICAL Find a physical activity you like so it’s not a chore. For me that is yoga because there’s a gentle strength to it. I love that it is just as much about the mind and spirit as it is about the body. I find that when I do it in the morning I take that positivity with me throughout the day.

HYDRATION STATION So much about getting that inner glow back is hydration. It’s boring but drinking plenty of filtered water is one of the best things

you can do to gently flush away toxins and bring your skin back to life. I also swear by good fats like avocado, hemp oil and bone broth for healthy skin, hair and nails. Broth is particularly good for immunity and restoration.

Natural oils like coconut, jojoba and rosehip also make great face moisturisers.

MEDITATE AWAY Meditation for 20 minutes just once a day is incredibly powerful

SELFLESS MOMENTS Staying healthy can be particularly difficult with kids as there’s so little time, but I find it’s really important to prioritise self-care, even just a few minutes a day. We’re no good to anyone if we can’t be kind to ourselves so try and make time for something the fills your cup whether it’s a walk, massage or cup up tea.

CHEF UP There’s nothing better than a home cooked meal and it helps to know what’s going in your meal. You don’t have to be a master chef; it’s all about baby steps. Start with simple things and you’ll find that the more you cook, the better you get which means you’ll cook more and so on. This naturally builds healthy, long-lasting habits which are key to long-term health.

9 Mascara Mistakes You Need to Stop Making

Ask a panel of women the one makeup item they can’t leave home without and you’ll likely hear mascara multiple times. It’s an essential.

But honestly, putting it on is not that easy. The wand could poke an eye out! Not to mention, the entire process could result in inky smudges on your eyelids, cheeks, and fingers. (We know we’re not the only ones that’s happened to). That’s why we talked to pro makeup artists to find out what we’re doing wrong.

BeverleyMag June 2019

1: Only using the mascara wand horizontally.

We know, we know. Wiggling the mascara wand at the base of your lashes is the classic technique for applying mascara. But in addition to that, you should also turn your mascara wand vertically to coat lashes. “When you use your wand vertically, you can really got to the roots of your top lashes,” says Inglessis. She suggests using a windshield wiper motion along the root of the lashes with the wand held up and down. Then, do the same method to coat the tiny bottom lashes.

2: Using one mascara in an attempt to curl, lengthen, AND volumise.

Layering is a crucial way to get the best overall mascara look.

“Not every mascara can do everything,” says Inglessis. “What is your priority? Buy a couple of mascaras that cater to what you need.” For example, you can apply a coat of volumizing mascara to both eyes. Let it dry. Then, go back and put a lengthening formula on top.

3: You only coat the bottom of your top lashes.

Blondes, this tip is especially for you! Typically when you apply a coat of mascara, you’re only coating the bottom part of your lashes. Makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes suggests grabbing a piece of paper and holding it up against the top of your eyelid (so you don’t make a mess) and then, focusing on the tips of your lashes, apply your mascara. This will help you to really coat the tip-tops without being afraid of getting mascara everywhere.

Female Focus 4: Curling your lashes after applying mascara.

Always curl your lashes before applying your mascara. Do it the other way, and you risk losing lashes. “Once your lashes are coated, curling them back is bad news. You can break lashes easily,” says Inglessis. “And the curl is funky because that coat makes a really sharp bend.”

5: Skipping concealer on your lids.

The most annoying thing about mascara: The smudges it can leave on your lids while it’s still wet. “If you have really long lashes, keep eye looking down for a couple of seconds before you open them,” says Inglessis.

When you get a smudge (it’s inevitable), use a pointed Q-tip dipped in makeup remover to get rid of the stain ASAP - before it dries. But even if you’re diligent during application, you can still end up with black smudges on your lids around 5 P.M. “If you have oily eyelids, mascara can move,” Inglessis says. “Use an eye primer or concealer on the lid so it does not transfer.”

6: Pumping the mascara wand into the bottle to get the very last bit.

This is a classic mascara mistake.

Pumping can bring unwanted air and bacteria into the bottle, drying out your product and causing a spidery lash look. Use a twisting motion to get all the product from the bottom of the tube. Once the three-month expiration date has passed, toss it.

7: Leaving the excess product on the wand tip.

Does mascara from your wand always end up smudging in the inner corners of your eyes? That’s because you didn’t wipe off that clump of mascara which can float on the end. Use paper towel or the edge of the tube to get rid of excess before combing through your lashes. “A well-designed mascara with a well-designed wand should not allow for a big clump of product,” says Inglessis.

8: Trying to get the tiny inner lashes while looking down.

You’ve probably heard the classic mascara application tip: Look down into a mirror, or tilt your chin up and open your mouth.

In actuality, you should be looking in all directions to get the product even. It’s like an exercise routine for your eyeballs! Inglessis looks up to apply mascara to the lower lashes, down to apply product to the top lashes, and side to side to get the inner and outer hairs.

9: Applying another layer at the end of the day.

Mascara isn’t like blush or lipstick, which are easy to reapply at the end of the day. “Unless you have time to redo your entire face, I would not reapply,” says Inglessis.

“Do a waterproof mascara that stays on longer.” If you’re truly in need of a midday mascara boost, use a completely different formula. Something with a small, defining brush like the Revlon All-in-One Mascara.

What’s On

Step Up Your Health

It’s convenient. It’s free. And it comes with a wealth of benefits. Don’t underestimate the power of the UK’s favourite physical activity - walking!

STABLE BLOOD SUGAR A short jaunt around the block after you eat could help keep your blood sugar steady, especially if you have type 2 di-abetes, according to research published in the journal Diabetologia. When adults with the condition walked for 10 minutes following every meal, they lowered their blood sugar 12 percent more, on average, than when they took a single 30- minute stroll each day. “Walking uses large muscles in your legs and torso - which require a lot of energy,” explains Andrew Reynolds, Ph.D., lead study author and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Otago in New Zealand. “To get that energy, those muscles remove sugar from circula-tion and your blood sugar goes down.” He adds that aftermeal walks may also help prevent

diabetes in the first place.

BETTER HEART HEALTH You don’t need crazy-hard cardio to strengthen your heart. A review of data from more than 130,000 women, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, found that those who walked at least 30 minutes a day significantly low-ered their risk of heart failure. Other research has found that exercisers - and most of them were walkers - reduced systolic blood pressure (the top number) by an average of nearly 9 mmHg, an improvement similar to that from medication, according to a meta-analysis in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Getting at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, each week is the

benchmark for heart benefits, according to the American Heart Association.

IMPROVED FERTILITY For couples trying to get pregnant, here’s a reason to hoof it: researchers found that overweight and obese women who regularly walked for at least 10 minutes at a time were nearly twice as likely to conceive as those who didn’t go for a stroll. The researchers say that being at an unhealthy weight - which applies to nearly threequarters of us - is linked to higher

levels of chronic inflammation, which can affect fertility. But walking reduces that inflammation and also may lower stress levels, both benefits that improve your odds of welcoming that bundle of joy SIT LESS, MOVE MORE Spending too much time on your backside can lead to numerous health woes. But here’s an easy fix: After an hour of sitting, walk around for two minutes. It could reduce your risk of early death by 33%!

Beverley Fringe Returns in 2019!

After a hugely successful first event in 2018, stepping in the place of the cancelled Beverley Folk Festival, (and subsequently winning ‘Outstanding Small Festival’ at the Yorkshire Gig Guide Awards) Beverley Fringe is back in 2019!

A few highlights including the legendary Folk-Rock pioneers Lindisfarne performing at St Mary’s Church on Friday 21st June, a ‘Dance Party Night’ at the Masonic Hall featuring Celtarabia and AlterEgo on Saturday 22nd June, and the ‘Horizon Stage’ on Saturday & Sunday afternoons at the East Riding Theatre, showcasing some of the best up and coming young musicians the area has to offer.

BeverleyMag June 2019

The main organiser Phil Simpson says “we simply cannot wait to bring an even better Beverley Fringe to the town in 2019 – please do come and soak up the atmosphere and enjoy some of the fantastic musicians our area has to offer”.

Beverley Fringe has also teamed up with ‘The Great Get Together’ in memory of late MP Jo Cox – which happens in the Coronation Gardens on the Saturday afternoon this year. There will be music and dancers in the garden alongside the event.

Bygone Beverley - In association with the East Riding Archive

A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS For a great number of people, the very mention of the word ‘mathematics’ often conjures memories of unhappy lessons at school, being made to recite times tables in front of the whole class.

But at least in this day and age, those of us who are less numerically gifted can rely on the use of a calculator. Spare a thought then, for the people who lived in a time when good old fashioned brain power was the only way of solving difficult sums.

That is what Robert Ellis of Welton had to do back in the 18th century, as is shown by his exercise book, preserved here at the Treasure House in Beverley.

The book, which appears to date from around 1760, contains calculations and problem solving puzzles covering various topics such as ‘reduction’, ‘simple interest’, ‘brokage’, ‘profit and loss’, ‘fellowship’, ‘simple multiplication’, ‘ale and beer measure’, ‘alligation’ and foreign currency.

It was found in an 18th century house in Elloughton, near Brough, where it had been placed inside one of the stairs, and remained undiscovered until building work was carried out on the house a few years ago. The book’s new owners then decided to ensure its preservation by depositing it with us at East Riding Archives.

It is unknown whether Mr Ellis was a teacher or a student. The book seems to cover the kind of mathematics that you might use in commercial enterprises and is quite advanced, so it could perhaps relate to accounting or something similar, but no-one knows for sure. The most curious feature of this document is the fact that it has been hidden inside a stair for so long, possibly more than two hundred years!

The exercise book has since undergone repairs in our Conservation workshop and you can try out some of the questions from the book via our new website at www. eastridingarchives.co.uk (under ‘What’s In The Archives’). Why not try them – without a calculator?!

Travel

Jersey,

a tiny isle with so much to offer...

May bank holiday, I took a weekend break to Jersey and would have loved to have stayed longer. Just an hours flight away I am sure that I will make a number of return visits over the coming years.

Leaving home on Saturday morning at 8.30am we where all checked in to our hotel by 2pm! We made the most of our first afternoon joining in with the festivities at the Jersey Boat Show. The harbour being just a 15 minute stroll from our hotel the Mayfair. Jazz bands, lush food offerings, fantastic yachts & boats to look at and much more, the harbour was buzzing all weekend.

Sunday, was our serious walking day, clocking up 28,500 steps! We walked around the harbour towards St Aubin's turning off up the A10 visiting firstly the Glass Church. The glass in the church was a donation from Jessie Boots, wife of Boots the Chemist. It is very art deco and definitely worth a look. Next door in the park was the regular Sunday Car Boot sale which was very busy. The car parking lady said it is always worth a look but we had limited time and where on a mission.

It took us just over an hour on foot and we arrived at the Jersey War Tunnels.

Well worth a visit we spent 2 hours looking around the exhibit.

You can visit this attraction either by local bus or on an organised tour bus. A little tip you only save a £1 on the local bus and it drops you short leaving you with an up hill walk of around 200 yards. I recommend you splash out and take the tour bus dropping you right outside the door. For anyone not good at walking there were several wheelchairs available to use on entry to the museum.

Returning back to St Helier was mostly down hill and we cut across the bay walking on the sand as the tide was out. Passing through the boat show we headed around the headland to Pas le Havre the beach at the other side of St Helier. This is another sweeping bay heading out to St Clements.

Here you will find a lovely free sea water swimming pool. When the tide goes out this lovely pool appears. We where now in need of a drink, and well deserved too. The White Horse bar & restaurant overlooks the sea, we had wonderful views to sit and relax in the sunshine before finishing with our last sight of the day.

From this bay it is only a 20 minute stroll back to the hotel cutting through the famous Howard Davis Park, where regular free concerts are held. In keeping with our earlier events of the day we visited the war graves before venturing into the gardens and admiring the wonderful wisteria arch Although the hotel has entertainment each evening I am sure you can appreciate that we where ready for bed after enjoying our included dinner.

Monday, the idea was to walk to Gorey, but we decided to catch the local bus.

Each cost of the journey is £2.30 where ever you go on the island. The bus station in St Helier is very modern and easy to use.

We spent our time in Mont Orgueil Castle until recently owned by the Queen but as she did not use it. It was decaying hence it was given to the islanders to care for.

All I could remember from my visit as a child was lots of steps, they are still there. My legs were breaking off on reaching the top but, the views where stunning. It was a clear day France was very visible, well it is only 14 miles away. Following lunch we took the bus back to St Helier! Tuesday, sadly it was time to come home.

Antiques - In association with the David Duggleby Auctioneers

What are these strange things?

When this glass revolver turned up recently at the weekly valuation event in our Beverley office it prompted me to consider the market for novelty glass items..

Except that they decorate and amuse, friggers have no useful purpose. Indeed strictly speaking, if something has a useful purpose it does not qualify as a frigger.

What are these strange things?

Friggers are novelty items crafted by glassmakers in their spare time either to display their skills or simply to amuse themselves.

The first friggers were made in Britain in the 18th century but they are today quite rare and invariably the examples we see in the saleroom are Victorian or 20th century. The most common friggers are walking sticks and rolling pins, closely followed by trumpets and hats. Animals, particularly swans and pigs were also very popular but they really do come in all shapes and sizes.

Friggers were made in substantial numbers at the large Nailsea glass works near Bristol and when items come up for sale they are often described as Nailsea but those descriptions should be treated with caution.

The items were made at every glass works in the country not to mention by travelling craftsmen …. they are rarely marked …. and so establishing the source , or even an approximate date, can be extremely difficult if not impossible.

BeverleyMag June 2019

There is no shortage of friggers passing through the saleroom and, with one or two exceptions, they tend to sell for well under a hundred pounds, so this is an area of collecting open to most pockets.

Rolling pins are very common, and some of them, in amethyst or dark blues, can be very attractive.

Prices range from £10 - £20 for a fairly ordinary clear glass example through to £50 - £80 on a good day for something with a particularly nice colour or an interesting inscription.

Our antiques auctions at Scarborough often include walking sticks, predominantly dating from the Victorian period. These are usually referred to as witch’s canes as folklore and tradition tell us if hung above the entrance door to the inside of a house they will ward off evil spirits. Some are made from solid glass, often spiral twisted incorporating coloured strands, but many are hollow and filled with tiny coloured beads.

In the late Victorian period, enterprising manufacturers began selling their sweets in pressed glass friggers, although given that the frigger then had a purpose the purists would no doubt argue that they were no longer friggers! These sweet holders can be very unusual and can be picked up for as little as £20.

It is an interesting area of collecting where costs are, compared with many other fields, very reasonable.

Even the rarest and best friggers, most astonishing and extraordinary things, are unlikely to make much over a hundred pounds. There is a lot to go at and they are very decorative.

Obviously, as with any glass item, it is very important when buying a frigger to check very carefully for damage, which can sometimes be surprisingly difficult to spot.

Friggers are usually very fragile things, so chips, cracks or breaks can happen very easily and they

will have a significant impact on the value – even if they don’t ruin the piece altogether.

So back to the beginning and what might the revolver sell for? Well, it’s a bit of a shot in the dark, but probably £15 - £20 …. still not bad for a discarded sweet packet!

Wellbeing

What is ikigai?

We’ve all got something that drives us to get up in the morning. That special something – a cause, a person, a purpose – that helps us enjoy life.

What’s yours?

Let’s be honest, we all feel lost sometimes.

We may ask ourselves: ‘What am I doing with my life?’ or ‘Aren’t I supposed to have a fiveyear plan by now?’

yet in order to do this, we need the security that comes from having money to support our goals and ideals.

As teenagers, we think we’ll have everything figured out by our 20s. In our 20s, we think we’ll have made it by 30. By our 30s?

It dawns on us that somewhere along the line, we’ve become a fully-fledged adult, and we still don’t have all the answers.

We may already have a passion for photography , painting, or writing, but take the ‘safer’ career path that pays the bills.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re treading water and aren’t sure what the big picture is for you, it may be because you haven’t discovered your ikigai yet.

WHAT IS IT? A Japanese concept – roughly translated as our ‘reason for being’ – your ikigai is based on your life, values, and beliefs. It’s a reflection of your inner self and what really matters to you.

Similar to ‘finding your passion’, discovering your ikigai encompasses what fills you with joy, gives you a sense of purpose, and an overall feeling of wellbeing. Aiming to balance the spiritual with the practical, ikigai transforms all areas of your life.

Mixing together your passion, profession, vocation, and mission, finding your ikigai is essentially about combining what you love and what you’re good at, with what you can be paid for and what the world needs.

IS IT ATTAINABLE? Money doesn’t buy happiness; it’s an old saying, but it can cause a lot of guilt and conflict. We all like the idea of living with meaning, BeverleyMag June 2019

Discovering our ‘purpose’ can feel like a privilege reserved for those who can afford to focus on ideals over survival.

Uncovering your ikigai can help you to find the balance between what you need and what you want.

DISCOVERING YOUR IKIGAI Take time to ask yourself what you love; what you are good at;

what you can be paid to do; and what the world needs? A goal that fulfils only one or two of these may leave you financially secure but feeling unfulfilled, or your sense of wellbeing may increase while your stability decreases.

What you are passionate about, and how you express it, can cover a huge range of possibilities. It could be through art, giving back to your community, or passing on your skills to help others achieve their full potential. It doesn’t have to be career-based; your ikigai may be found in taking care of your family, or working towards social change.

Really feeling your ikigai can be a combination of satisfaction, love, happiness It’s easy to think of our passion, job, family, and desires as separate entities, or parts of life that rarely intersect. Discovering your ikigai is all about uncovering how all aspects of life are connected – helping us feel joy, fulfilment, and balance in our day-to-day life.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I’VE FOUND MY IKIGAI? It can be hard to describe.

Really feeling your ikigai can be a combination of satisfaction, love, happiness, and a feeling of personal maturity. It can lead to a clearer sense of what you value in life, as well as a better understanding of yourself.

It isn’t like a lightbulb moment; you won’t wake up one day with a clear picture of what your purpose is. It’s more of a journey; you need to actively seek it, spend time reflecting on all aspects of your life, and consider how they are connected.

Once you have found your ikigai, always remain curious. Just as in many ways we aren’t the same person we were 20 or even 10 years ago, so our reason for being can evolve over time.

The path towards finding our ikigai allows us to see meaning in the everyday, and discover happiness in places we may not have considered before. It’s about being inquisitive, open, and looking at our desires and needs as a whole. It’s about recognising and celebrating what truly matters to us.

Something For Everyone Whoever you are, whatever your age or tastes, Beverley FM is the station for everyone’s who wants to keep in touch with the people, events and happenings that make up the rich tapestry of life in East Yorkshire. As for the music, we keep it light, bright and varied.

We also have a great choice of specialist music programmes too.. so, whether your taste is for jazz, folk, reggae, country, classical or current dance sounds we have a weekly music show that’ll be right up your street.

Meet John Escreet John Escreet plays the sounds of the 50’s and 60’s every Sunday Morning from 10am in “DOWN AT THE DINER” Q: Tell us a bit about the show JOHN: The idea is to recreate the atmosphere of the 50’s and 60’s in an old American diner. I hope it brings back good memories!

Q: You have a huge collection of the original records from that era. What is it that attracts you to the music?

JOHN: I always liked the music of the 50s and 60s, but in the 70s it fell out of fashion. Wherever you went you heard the current hits, but never the oldies, so I started my own “Fabulous Fifties Disco” I played all over the area, including here in Beverley and Woodmansey.

I used to scour the second-hand shops, sometimes travelling as far as Wakefield and Sheffield in search of those old 78’s!

worked out it was to do with the musical backing behind the singers, which might be orchestral or maybe a four piece band .. from there on I took a real interest in how the actual sound of each record came about. Something else I’ve always enjoyed about the songs of those times is that so many of them tell a story.

Jobs to do in the garden in June The start of summer signals long days and heaps of sunlight, making it the perfect time to do a spot of gardening Summer is here and we can’t wait to share with you our tips for making the most out of your garden this June. The sun is shining, fruits are ripe and flowers are in full bloom which means your garden will be attracting admirers both wanted and unwanted! Pests will be lurking to feast on ripe fruits so make sure your garden is protected, whilst you should also take action to make sure that your plants are getting the food and care they need to flourish.

1. Snip off and spray your roses June is the perfect time to deadhead your roses after they have flowered. This is a quick and easy job which stimulates the growth of new blooms and extends the flowering season. Make sure you snip off the old flower at the base of the bloom, this will encourage the plant to send new shoots from the leaves near the top of the bush, producing smaller flowers. Don’t forget to spray your roses too to ensure they remain

healthy throughout the drier months.

2. Protect ripe fruits from ravenous pests!

Your garden is looking particularly vibrant, packed full of exotic colours and scents, which mean it won’t just be friends and family flocking to enjoy it, but plenty of wildlife too. Birds and other species will be seeking out fruits and seeds to snack on, so be ready to protect your produce. Mesh netting is a great, non-chemical solution to deter pests and allow your fruit to fully ripen. Remember, it’s important to wait until the bees and butterflies have worked their pollinating magic before you cover your plants.

3. Plant out tender vegetables Make sure to plant tender vegetables such as cucumbers, courgettes, and peppers. June is the perfect time to plant up these vegetables as there is a

BeverleyMag June 2019

significantly reduced risk of wind and frost, conditions which are detrimental to the growth of tender vegetables. The hot weather provides the perfect conditions for these vegetables to grow, ready to harvest in the following months!

4. Start feeding and pinch out tomatoes Pinching encourages branching on the tomato plants as by cutting off part of the main stem you encourage the plant to grow two new stems from the leaf nodes below the pinch. Simply use your fingernails to pinch off the new growth at the end of the stem (if you don’t want to use your fingers you can always use a sharp pair of pruning shears!).

5. Feed baskets and containers Check baskets and containers every day to avoid drying out in the hot weather. Ensure that they remain moist but not soggy as over-watering leads to poor quality plants. Make sure to also apply a liquid fertiliser once a week to ensure the containers and baskets maintain optimum conditions for plant growth.

6. Offer your support!

June is the perfect time to support your tall-growing perennials.

During these warmer months perennials are in full bloom and therefore vulnerable to collapse as their long stems and heavy heads make them top-heavy and prone to flopping. Make sure these plants have plenty of support to stay upright and prevent damage during windy or rainy days by using

frames or canes and tying the stems securely using twine.

Ideally, you should put any supports – such as bamboo canes – in place before you plant. If you need to put supports up near a wall or fence, place them around 5cm away.

7. Lift tulip bulbs June 21 is the longest day of the year, and the extra light and warmth encourages the garden to grow. Take softwood cuttings and collect ripe seeds of any flowers you want to grow again next year. Tulip bulbs can also be lifted now, or replanted in a cool, dark spot.

8. Snip, sow and dry herbs Pick and sow herbs. They’re so easy to grow, whether in beds, borders, containers or on windowsills. Herbs grow best with full sun and light, well-drained, moisture-retentive, fertile soil with plenty of organic matter incorporated.

9. Cut lavender for drying If you are thinking about drying your own lavender to make into fragrant pillows and sachets for your drawers and wardrobes, you

Gardening need to pick the flowerheads before they open – that way, your lavender should retain its strong scent and vivid purple colour.

What should you have done the previous month? READ: Jobs to do in the garden in May – Prepping, planting and pests!

Tie a bunch from the base of the stems with a rubber band and hang in a cool, dark and dry place like an under-stairs cupboard or garage.

Leave it for two to four weeks, then it should be ready to use.

10. Harvest and sow salads Cut-and-come-again lettuces, mizzen, rocket and mustard are great options. Snip with scissors, then watch them regrow. As you pick others salads to eat, sow more, to provide you with a constant supply throughout the summer.

11. Put out exotic plants Potted exotics can be fully brought out into the garden. Cannas are a good option for planing out. Place them in a sunny, sheltered spot I’m prepared, fertile, well-drained soil. Their foliage makes a strong statement and they will flower from July to October.

12. Deadheading & cutting back Extend the flowering season of your garden by deadheading and cutting back plants once they have flowered; it may sound brutal but the action will in fact encourage the plants to grow back and to flower again.

13. Cut back beech hedging Start pruning any trained fruit trees and bushes. Before you start cutting your beech hedges and clipping any evergreen hedging, check for any nesting birds; at Highgrove, the clipping and cutting does not begin until July, to leave wildlife in peace for as long as possible.

14. Transplant winter crop seedling Although early June can be quite wet, night frosts should be well and truly over and any winter crop seedlings can be safely transplanted out into your vegetable beds.

15. Check for bee swarms Insects thrive at this time of year.

Check for honeybee swarms – in most cases, the bees shouldn’t bother you if you don’t bother them, but if the nest is causing a real problem, the British Bee Keepers’ Association can put you in contact with a bee collector, who will usually take away the swarm free of charge.

How to grow your own wellness garden From peppermint to turmeric, growing for wellness is going mainstream as more of us are considering the health and wellbeing properties of plants.

Modern medicine owes a lot to the plant kingdom, from the treatment of heart disease to lung disorders.

But plants can be useful for minor ailments and everyday self-care, too. Growing for wellness is going mainstream.

A recent survey by Wyevale Garden Centres found that more than two thirds of British gardeners consider the health and wellbeing properties of a plant before they buy it.

At Chelsea Physic Garden, a Food is Medicine Trail starts this month to highlight plants you can grow as tonics, pick-me-ups and other soothing remedies to handle the stresses of modern life.

Many are surprisingly easy to grow, even in limited city spaces.

We asked Chelsea Physic Garden’s head of plant collections, Nell Jones, to share her tips for the best “wellbeing” plants to grow at home.

Peppermint

This garden herb is full of aromatic menthol which calms the digestion.

It’s great in pots on shady windowsills because it doesn’t need much sun.

“It’s really easy to take cuttings from someone else’s outdoor plant,” says Jones. “Just cut some

stems about 10-15cm long, put them in water and change the water regularly. Within a week or so you will get roots on the bottom of the stems.

“You can then pot them up into a freedraining compost add grit if you can - and grow them on. Just pick the leaves when you like, put them in a mug and pour hot water on them for a refreshing tea.”

Black peppermint makes a particularly lively brew.

Rosemary

Greek scholars wore garlands of rosemary to sharpen their wits and there has been research into its use to combat Alzheimer’s disease.

This beautiful evergreen, fragrant herb can last 20 years and get quite big, says Jones, so if you are growing in a pot select a compact variety.

Make it into a herbal tea if you’re feeling befuddled by adding a few sprigs to a cup and pouring boiling water over.

It also makes good insect repellent: “Boil it up with water for 30 minutes, then decant it into a bottle,” says Jones.

Turmeric

An exotic-looking houseplant with benefits, turmeric has historically been used in Ayurvedic medicine of South Asia for many conditions, including breathing problems, rheumatism and fatigue.

“You can grow this from tubers that you buy in the supermarket,” says Jones.

“Plant each rhizome making sure you have at least two or three eyes on it, cover them with soil, water in and put the whole pot into a sealed plastic bag like a tent.

Keep it in a warm place until you see the stems rising above the soil. It doesn’t matter at this stage whether it is in darkness or light.

Once the stems and leaves are above the soil, put them on a

Gardening windowsill to grow on.”

When it dies away naturally over winter, dig up the bright orange roots to grate into smoothies, marinades or salad dressings.

“You can also make a delicious turmeric latte by blending turmeric powder with milk, cinnamon and agave nectar,” says Jones.

Aloe vera

Not only do these spiny succulents look beautiful, but the clear gel inside is soothing on minor scalds, sunburn or abrasions.

Keep a pot of aloe vera on the windowsill in the kitchen and when you need to, break off a leaf, cut it lengthways and apply the gel to the skin.

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

By Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband.

Do you crave quiet time?

I have just been watching ITV’s Loose Women and they’ve had a wonderful discussion that had me in absolute stitches about how many of us are desperate for some quiet! Whether it’s the constant cry of “Mum” from the lounge or from upstairs (when you’re in the kitchen making dinner) because they want to know where something is or can you get me something and they’re clearly incapable of doing it themselves!

And why do you have to have the television on while listening to a podcast and watching some video on YouTube? How can you possibly concentrate on all three at once? And sometimes there’s a fourth one – playing a game on your smartphone. It makes me tired just thinking about it! Don’t you want to sit in the garden on a sunny day, listening to the birds and drinking a glass of iced something – gin, something fruity, wine – does it really matter?!!!

Dishwasher disagreements

Is it just me or do you have a particular way you load your dishwasher? And when anyone else starts filling it in the wrong way (and it is wrong, because my way is right and the best way!) it makes me cringe and I have to start rearranging everything. My husband gets cross with me because he’s wondering why he bothered to help. It’s not that I’m not really grateful he’s doing it. It just doesn’t look right! You’ll probably think I’m really controlling or just completely bonkers or something, but I’m actually a ‘Live and Let Live’ kind of person – there’s just something about the dishwasher!

What can I say?!!!

Walkies!!!

Yay! Finally! We have officially become a member of the dog walkers’ gang! And we’ve got a whole new circle of acquaintances. We don’t know any of their names yet although we’re getting to know the names of their dogs! Our little puppy is doing incredibly well getting used to the exciting sounds and smells all over the place and she’s really enjoying meeting other people. However, at the time of writing, she hasn’t realised that she’s allowed to go to the toilet when we’re out on our walks and, in fact, that that would be more than welcome! Instead, she waits until she comes home. We do try to get her out into the garden on time – but we’re not always successful!
