Award for ‘exceptional’ staff member at Beverley school

An ‘exceptional’ staff member at Keldmarsh Primary School in Beverley has been named regional winner of the award for the outstanding Higher Level Teaching Assistant of the year.

Kathryn Hammond was nominated for the National HLTA of the Year Award by the senior management team and governors of the school.

She has worked at Keldmarsh Primary School since 2017 and was described by the senior management team as ‘exceptional’.

Kathryn, who is also the school’s sports development officer, received the award for the Yorkshire and Humber area at a ceremony in London.

The award recognised her commitment to raising the educational achievement of all pupils, her tireless dedication to promoting and facilitating a wide range of sporting and active afterschool sessions and her constant encouragement of the children.

Keldmarsh Primary School headteacher Carol Tomkinson said that Kathryn has excellent relationships with the whole school community, working well with all staff, involving herself in any team that is in need of help and demonstrating high levels of

professionalism and commitment.

“Kath is an excellent ambassador for Keldmarsh Primary School and children across the school have said they enjoy having her as their ‘teacher,’ said Mrs Tomkinson “She makes learning fun and enjoyable and the impact of her supporting sport in school has made a massive contribution to ensuring children are fit and active.

“Her enthusiasm is infectious and she has motivated even the most reluctant children to be involved in after-school activities.”

Kathryn said: “It’s a pleasure to work at Keldmarsh Primary School.

I love the variety of my role as a HLTA and developing the children’s love of sport.

“I’m overwhelmed to receive the award, as I feel I’m just doing my job, although it is a lovely feeling to get the recognition from the whole school.”

Inspirational blind Residents and visitors athlete wins another title to benefit from free Local charity worker Roy Turnham has picked up another weekend parking in the sporting accolade. This time the GB blind footballer has won the Men’s Singles title in the Visually Impaired National Tennis Championships. He won the B1 category in Wrexham run up to Christmas where a record number of players took part; B1 players having the greatest degree of sight loss.

With ambitions of becoming a Paralympic sport in the future, visually impaired tennis is adapted from the full court version of tennis and uses a smaller court marked out with lower nets and tactile lines. It uses an audible ball so players can hear it bounce – depending on a player’s degree of sight loss they may have between one and three bounces of the ball before returning it back to their opponent.

Roy, who has been blind from birth, after he, along with his older brother and younger sister inherited their mum’s eye condition, has only been playing tennis competitively for four years.

He says, “Tennis was a sport which was inaccessible to me growing up so I never imagined myself playing, let alone winning a national title.

I’m now determined to make the GB team and represent my country internationally.”

Roy is also hoping to encourage other local people with sight loss to take up the sport. In his role as SocialEYES Coordinator at local charity Sight Support Hull and East Yorkshire, Roy organises the charity’s leisure and social activities programme where he has already

Free parking across all council-operated car parks in the East Riding are now in force.

For the 11th year, East Riding of Yorkshire Council will suspend parking charges at all council onstreet parking bays and off-street car parks for the four weekends in the run up to Christmas in a bid to boost trade and visitor numbers to towns.

run several successful tennis taster sessions with more planned in the future and the charity is now hoping to secure funding to develop its own weekly Tennis Club.

“I’ve enjoyed some really positive experiences since playing tennis.

Visually impaired tennis is one of the fastest growing forms of disability sport and, with a strong social element, it is really thriving at the moment” explains Roy. “Now I would love to share some of these experiences with others.”

Anyone interested in finding out more, or joining in with current taster sessions, can contact Roy at Sight Support HEY on 01482 342297 or by emailing info@ sightsupport.org.

parking bays, maximum stays and controlled parking zones (CPZ).

Ian Burnett, head of asset strategy at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “This is a very popular scheme and one which has been extended for the next three years.

“Christmas is a key trading time for our local high streets and free parking brings people into our town centres to help support local businesses and brings residents and visitors to the area.”

This year, parking charges in the council’s on-street and off-street parking locations will be suspended on the following weekends: l Saturday, 7 December and Sunday, 8 December l Saturday, 14 December and Sunday, 15 December l Saturday, 21 December and Sunday, 22 December.

The free parking period will be between 8am on Saturday until 8am on Monday and pay and display machines will be clearly marked to let people know there will be no charge.

Whilst parking charges are suspended, motorists are advised that normal parking rules still apply, such as those around disabled

Free parking will also be in place for Small Business Saturday, which is now in its seventh year and will take place on Saturday, 7 December.

8 Renovation Costs You Might Not Have Factored In Are you planning a revovation in 2020 and want to avoid those hidden renovation costs that creep in unexpectedly? Then read on…

If you’ve ever undertaken any renovation work, you’ll know most projects end up going over budget, however carefully you manage the job. Even with a sensible contingency fund, extra expenditure can creep in to disrupt even the best-laid plans.

But what exactly are these extras and how can you preempt them?

Here are a few of the surprising hidden costs of renovation work for which you may want to budget.

Dehumidifiers or heaters

If you’re plastering a large area of wall or having a new screed floor poured, you’ll probably have to hire a dehumidifier or heater to remove the excess moisture in the air and help with the drying process.

These can be hired by the day, so, depending on the time of year you undertake the work and the drying speed of the plaster or screed, this cost can be anything from a couple of days hire to a few weeks, plus the electricity running cost.

It won’t be a huge amount, but it’s something that can get forgotten in the initial budget.

Refinishing internal carpentry

Another unexpected knock-on effect of replastering large areas or working with wet materials, where you raise the humidity levels throughout the house, can be that internal doors swell up and need to be rehung.

Factoring in a carpenter to refit or rehang internal doors or make small adjustments is another cost that may not be on your spreadsheet, but might be worth keeping in mind at the planning stage.

Your electricity bill

If you’re undertaking extensive renovation work for a period of months, you may need to budget for your electricity bill to rise during this time.

With power tools being plugged in and recharged constantly, and several trades working on the house at the same time, you’ll be drawing on your power supply much more than usual. It might seem like an incidental, but if you allow for this before you start, you won’t be caught out by it halfway through.

Rubbish disposal

You might have factored in a skip at the end of your project, but it’s a rare renovation that creates less

waste than planned. Most projects result in large amounts of rubbish and this will need to be disposed of safely, which can add on extra pennies at the very end of your project when funds are low.

Skips aren’t cheap, so if you end up needing to hire more than one, it could add to your overspend.

It’s best to consider this at the planning stage and budget for a larger skip than you think you need, or for someone to come and collect the rubbish at a couple of points during the project.

A deep clean

It’s incredible how far dust can travel when heavy renovation work or demolition is taking place elsewhere in the house. You can keep all the internal doors and windows closed, but more often than not you’ll find yourself shaking dust out of curtains and bedding in rooms away from where the work’s taking place.

If you’re living on site, you can keep on top of this on a daily basis while the project’s ongoing. However, you might want to factor in some budget for a deep clean of carpets and textiles at the very end of the job to return your house to normal once the builders have left.

Patching up paintwork

High-traffic areas, such as hallways, can take a bit of abuse during renovation work, with lots of people walking through each day and ladders and tools being carried

BeverleyMag December 2019 / January 2020

in and out.

As such, you might need to set aside a bit of cash for redecoration once the work’s complete. Even if it’s just patching up small chips in woodwork and giving walls a fresh coat of paint, keep in mind you’ll need a little pot of money for this.

Replacement carpet in adjacent rooms Carpet can sometimes be damaged in adjoining rooms to those where the work is taking place. If you’re moving internal walls around, carpet may have to be cut, for example, or if you have lots of people walking though a hallway to get to the room where work is being done, carpet can get damaged and need professionally cleaning or replacing.

Laying down carpet protector film can help, but dirt has a way of finding its way around even the best protection, so keep this in mind when budgeting for cleaning costs at the end of the work.

Garden reboot

Building work can have a big impact on adjoining outside areas, as skips, machinery and materials all have to go somewhere while work is ongoing. Footpaths and patio areas will have lots of extra footfall, too, so expect your garden to sustain a bit of damage.

Once the work is complete, you can take stock of the garden, but it’s worth keeping a bit of money aside in case you need to fix fencing,

ECHOES OF CHRISTMAS PAST Mention Christmas, and most of us instantly think of receiving presents, but maybe it’s also worth remembering that the spirit of Christmas is about giving too, and it’s often a time of year when our charity is called upon to lend a helping hand to those who need it most.

One of the most traditional ways in which we raise and give money to charity is through door-todoor carol singing. Men, women, and children have been getting together to do this for years, centuries even, but how do we compare to bygone generations in terms of our generosity?

Well, a 19th century Christmas singing collection book records the amounts received by carol singers, who once filled people’s houses with tidings of ‘comfort & joy’ across 7 Dickensian Christmases between 1886 and 1892. The generosity of the townsfolk was jotted down in the book, recording each person’s name, and the amount they donated. Donations ranged from threepence to a shilling (about £1.25 to £4.80 in today’s money), with 1892 being the year when most cash was given – a total of £6 14 shillings and 4 pence (£637.30 nowadays).

With inflation, it’s very hard to compare the amounts donated back then with what we give to carol singers nowadays, and it’s also difficult to know if these figures were representative of the town’s population. It seems unlikely, but with the lowest donation being the modern equivalent of £1.25, it’s not bad going.

Looking back at carol singing of yesteryear, it also begs the question what carols may have been sung? We have a book by William Andrews (founder of the Hull Literary Club in 1879), who compiled a number of carols that were popular in this area at the time of publication in 1906. As, you might expect, there are a few firm favourites there: ‘Joy To The World’, ‘God Rest You Merry Gentlemen’ and ‘I Saw Three Ships’, which was allegedly ‘popular with the illiterate’.

There are many though that most of us perhaps wouldn’t recognise as being ‘popular’, such as the ‘Carol for the Poor’, which neatly sums up the reason why the carollers were calling on people’s doors:

“And, oh! Remember, gentles gay, To you who bask in fortune’s ray, The year is all a holiday, The poor have only Christmas When you the costly banquet deal To guests, who never famine feel, Oh, spare one morsel from your meal, To feed the poor at Christmas” So we can guess what those carol singers may have sung, but alas we’ll never know how good their singing voices were!

LOCAL PEOPLE, LOCAL LIVES Name : Linda Barker Job: Interior designer, TV presenter Tell us about your family?

I’m one of 5 children. 4 girls and 1 boy, I’m the middle child. We grew up on a farm in West Yorkshire it was an idyllic, very outdoorsy childhood.

What do you do in your spare time?

I am passionate about my sport and fitness. I love going to the gym and doing yoga and pilates. I also do long distance walking up to a week at a time if I can. My other great love is coldwater swimming, the Humber swim next year is on my list of things to do. Art and craft are clearly great interests of mine and I love to sew, make collages and I’ve recently started to do oil paintings again.

How would you describe East Yorkshire to a visitor?

It’s a hidden gem of a place with beautiful, big open skies. I’ll often remind people that it’s where Hockney loved to paint and that will often put them in mind of the stunning landscape and tree paintings he did in this area. The walking is perfect here, the wolds are incredibly beautiful and you get a real sense of the east Riding if you stride out on the Wolds Way. We have the best of everything here, lovely chalky hills in the Wolds, our beautiful coastline and open beaches and you never have to walk, swim or cycle in a crowd here.

If you could have dinner with anyone (alive or dead) who would it be and why?

My mum and dad who have both passed away, just to have another chat with them would be wonderful. Both my wonderful Grandmas would be on the guest list and my Grandpas who I really never knew.

My aunties who have both passed would be invited, and it’d be the best party I could imagine. The happiest occasions for me are often family ones and I would cook up a feast and ask both important and trivial questions that somehow I never got around to asking them all when they were alive.

What is your favourite food?

If I was being cooked for I adore vegan food. I’m not vegan but if I’m going out it’s the food I would order for preference as it takes so darn long to prepare restaurant quality vegan food at home and when its done right it really tastes better than any piece of steak that I’ve ever had!

When did you last go to the cinema and what did you see?

I love going to the Cinema and I saw the Joker on my last night out.

It was the most brilliant film that I’ve seen in a long time and Jaoquin Phoenix was astounding in his portrayal of a young man that suffers with mental health issues and how his everyday life simply started to destroy him. It’s a compelling film and I’m looking forward to seeing it again.

Briefly explain your working day and what your job entails?

No two days are the same. I work for a number of companies and this involves a fair bit of travelling around the country. I’ll drive myself on the whole and I’ll catch up on podcasts or audible books in the car.

Design is obviously at the fore front of almost everything that I do so I’ll often be researching design ideas on Pinterest and the internet and looking at what some of my design heros are producing, Ilse Crawford

BeverleyMag December 2019 / January 2020

and Axel Vervoot are two iconic people that I like to watch. I get ideas for design schemes from trade shows and exhibitions some of which will be international so I’ll often be looking at scheduling these into my diary.

Its important to me to try keep ahead of what’s happening in the design world by reading lots and watching what’s going on. I am usually doing some form of exercise everyday too, be it a session with a personal trainer at the gym or a HIIT workout following an app on my phone. If I haven’t made time for even 30mins of exercise I start to get jittery feet!

Cooking is a great pleasure and is often the way I stop my working day.

If you work from home like me, it often means that you don’t switch off from ‘work mode’ until its bedtime so cooking just gives me that excuse to stop looking at the computer screen. I walk my dog Stanley everyday , he’s a super fast lurcher and loves to run in the fields in front of our house and time with him is simply a pleasure in any weather. I’m also redesigning our own home in the east riding so an increasing amount of my working day is spent on my own project at home. I’m very fortunate to have a career that I love.

What do you love most about your job?

The variety of projects that I get involved with and the interesting people that I meet. My job is never dull.

What is exciting you at the moment?

My own house project is particularly exciting. Our beautiful home has introduced me to a part of Yorkshire that I didn’t really know before and its such a pleasure living here. I’m also getting to grips with the large garden that we have here and apart from grass cutting its been a great learning curve for me – so much so that we’ve just built our own greenhouse and I plan to start a veg garden next year. I’m looking forward to introducing bees into the garden so one of my lawn patches will be dug up to make way for some meadow planting full of pollinating flowers. On the work front I have some great projects coming up next year, including my own paint range and a beautiful bed collection both which will be for sale throughout the uk. I’m looking forward to 2020.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years time?

I’d like to be sat on my front doorstep looking out onto a pretty garden knowing that my lovely house was all finished inside without a leaky roof. twitter.com/ReallyLinda

Parsnip, Chickpea and Cauliflower Korma Serves 2-3 Curries are a really good way to use up vegetables. This mild, warming spicy curry transforms parsnips into a creamy, comforting cold-weather dinner in less than half an hour.

The Indian flavours of ginger, coconut and fresh coriander work beautifully with parsnips. Eat with boiled rice or warm naan bread, and pickle or chutney.

Ingredients 2 tbsp groundnut oil 1 onion, finely chopped 2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped 2.5cm piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated 2 tsp medium–hot curry powder 2 tsp ground cumin 2 parsnips (about 300g), peeled and cut into 1cm chunks 400ml can coconut milk 400ml can chickpeas, drained 50g ground almonds 1 cauliflower (about 850g), cut into large florets juice of 1 lime 1 bunch fresh coriander, roughly chopped salt and black pepper Method Heat the oil in large heavy-bottomed pan then add the onion and fry, stirring occasionally over a medium–low heat for about 10 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a minute then add the curry powder, cumin and a good pinch of salt. Gently stir in the parsnips and cook for a further minute. Add the coconut milk, chickpeas and ground almonds, cover with a lid and cook at a gentle boil for 10 minutes. Check the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Add the cauliflower, then cover again and cook for a further 5 minutes or so, until the cauliflower is just tender. Sprinkle the lime juice over the curry and stir in the coriander.. www.riverford.co.uk/recipes

Roy Woodcock’s

World of Wine Advent calendars . . . they’re the choccy novelty we buy for the kids, right?

Well yes - and no! For they’ve suddenly become big business for the wine and booze lover.

I remember making a throwaway comment this time last year about an advent wine calendar I’d discovered at Aldi. This year, they appear to be everywhere.

Craft beer, wine, cream liquor, bourbon and gin calendars are just some examples of what’s available this festive season. And while most feature 24 taster-sized tipples, in some you can expect to find full-sized bottles of your favourite beverages.

Starting with Aldi, here’s a roundup of some that I’ve spotted: Aldi’s festive calendar includes 24 miniature bottles of white, red, rose and sparkling wines and costs £49.99.

Asda can offer a couple of choices - for £20, there’s a 12-day calendar featuring Baileys Original Irish Cream, Baileys Coffee and Baileys Orange Truffle. And each window comes with a different Baileys recipe.

But if rye is more your tipple this Yuletide, the supermarket also offers a Jack Daniel’s Holiday Countdown Calendar. It includes Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey, Jack Daniel’s Old

No. 7 Brand, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire, Jack Daniel’s Gentleman Jack, Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select and Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Rye and costs £50.

Iceland’s Wine Advent Calendar includes 24 187ml bottles of wine for £45 while Morrison’s offer a Gin Advent Calendar with 24 5cl bottles at £58.

Discount retailer B&M have a couple of offers - the 12 Spirits of Christmas pack, which includes a selection of mini spirits, including Gordon’s pink gin, Smirnoff Vodka and Captain Morgan’s Rum for £19.99, and a Canti “Get Your Sparkle On” Prosecco and chocolate advent calendar for £4.99. This latter one comprises 24 chocolate squares filled with Prosecco.

Finally, I spotted a mixed Wine Advent Calendar at Debenhams, packed with a variety of wines, for £79.99. And if you really want to push the boat out, Marks & Spencer’s Gins of Christmas Advent Calendar may be for you - 26 5cl bottles, including many fruity and spicy favourites. The price, however, may turn you to drink - a cool £100.

Advent doesn’t always start on the first of December, of course, as it’s always the Sunday closest to St Andrew’s Day (December 2nd), but this year Advent Sunday does just happen to be on the 1st, ending on Christmas Eve, of course.

My round-up of offers may not be an exhaustive list, however, so I’ll be interested to hear of any others you spot.

My best buys this month will highlight a few of my choices of wine to enjoy over the festive break and with your Christmas dinner, but the other thing I always mention are the welter of Champagne offers that materialise this time of year.

Picking your way through the offers and sorting the good from the not so good can be hard work. But this year a £20 Waitrose Champagne has beaten other supermarket fizz to be named Best Buy for Christmas by Which? magazine.

Their experts described it as an elegant Champagne, with a wellbalanced and lengthy finish.

My choice has come from Morrison’s this year; they do have some Verve Clicquot Vintage, discounted down to £40 from £47, some Moet Rose at £34 instead of £40 and some Charles De Villers at £20 instead of £24. But alongside their own label Champagne, I tried a bottle of the Adrien Chopin Brut at a bargain £15 (down by £3).

Winner of a silver medal in last year’s International Wine Challenge, it’s produced exclusively for Morrison’s by the Chopin family in the village of Champlat-Boujacourt, about an hour’s drive from Paris.

Wonderfully toasty and biscuity with citrus and hazelnut notes, it’s a blend of the black grape varieties Pinot Meunier (60 per cent) and Pinot Noir 40 (40 per cent) and just perfect to open at any time over Christmas.

* The arrival of a Wine Society box on the doorstep is guaranteed to put a smile on the face of any wine or food lover and there’s still time to order some great Christmas wines, including an English fizz, made specially for the society by Ridgeview in Sussex. Priced at £23, the Society’s Exhibition English Sparkling Wine has class, finesse and freshness thanks to the classic blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.

I can also recommend a bottle of Casa Ermelinda Freitas Moscatel de Setúbal (£9.95), which is an authentic Portuguese sweet treat, with the heady aroma of caramelised citrus pith and orange blossom, with honey, hazelnut and barley sugar on the palate. It even keeps well in the fridge after opening, if you can resist it!

More at: www.thewinesociety.com * Port’s the other thing we buy a lot of at Christmas and the Co-op, which sells two thirds of all of its Port at this time of year, has joined forces to fund a reforestation project in the Douro Valley.

Thousands of hectares of forest are lost every year in Portugal alone, with forest fires a major cause.

Native woodland and the biological diversity that it sustains are in decline and the reforestation project will see nearly four football pitches worth of trees funded by Co-op through sales of Taylor’s Select Reserve Port during the festive period.

Normally priced at £10.75 a bottle, Taylor’s Select Reserve Port is now on promotion in Co-op stores at £7 until January 2.

Brazin Old Vine Zinfandel Price: £11.24 (was £14.99)

Morrison’s The Best Botrytis Semillon

Where: Waitrose When: From December 4 to January 2 Why: A quality Pinot is always a good match for Christmas meats, whether you choose turkey, goose or duck, and this is a real gem from New Zealand. A very fruity, super-smooth wine with excellent length, that will match a range of savoury dishes.

Where: Waitrose When: From December 4 to January 2 Why: A decent Californian Zinfadel is always a safe bet to go with the turkey and this is a really good example. Bountiful rich, dark berries fuse with plums and figs, punctuated with notes of vanilla, mocha and pepper. The first sip of this decadent treat demands another!

BeverleyMag December 2019 / January 2020

Where: Waitrose When: From December 4 to January 2 Why: If you prefer a white wine with your Christmas dinner, this would work well with poultry and lighter meats and could come into its own on other courses, particularly fish and seafood generally, as well as creamy cheeses.

Price: £6 (was £7) for half bottle.

Where: Morrison’s When: Now until December 31 Why: A sweet pudding wine at Christmas is always a good idea and as well as the Wine Society offering mentioned above I can recommend this International Wine Challenge winner from Australia with gorgeous rich honey notes on the nose and palate.

Restaurant quality food from your local takeaway Based in Keldgate Shopping Centre, just off Lincoln Way in Beverley The Olive tree take away opened its doors earlier this summer.

Owner and qualified chef, Erkan (who was previously the Head Chef at Jardelle in the town) has always wanted to run his own business offering restaurant quality food from the convenience of a take away outlet.

The varied menu devised by Erkan offers something for everyone with his own speciality being Guvec (a casserole style dish, available in either a chicken, lamb or king prawn version). However, a range of speciality pasta dishes are also available and of course, stone baked pizzas cooked in an original stone pizza oven.

So what makes The Olive Tree unique? It could be the interesting and extensive menu, or the fresh locally sourced ingredients, both of which would apply, however, the Olive Tree boasts an ‘open kitchen’ so you can actually see your food being freshly prepared and cooked for you, right in front of your eyes!

If you are celebrating or entertaining and looking for something a little different, Erkan also caters for groups and parties and what’s more if you give him at least two days notice, will make your choice of food even if it is not on the menu.

Roasted Brussels sprouts with Sage and Chestnut Butter Serves 4 as a side You will make more butter than you need for this recipe, but it’s not worth making any less. It will keep in the fridge for a week or so, or can be frozen and sliced as you need it.

Ingredients 500g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and cut in half olive oil, to roast 125g salted butter, at room temperature 100g cooked and peeled chestnuts (or use precooked), finely chopped 8 sage leaves, finely chopped salt and black pepper Method Heat the oven to 190°C/Gas 5. Put the sprouts in a baking dish and toss in just enough olive oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper and roast for 20–30 minutes, until just tender but still with some bite. Toss once during cooking. Meanwhile, put the butter in a large bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until very soft. Stir in the chestnuts and sage.

Lay a piece of cling film on your work surface.

Spoon the butter in a line down the middle. Fold the cling film over and twist both ends to form a taut sausage. Chill until needed. When the sprouts are roasted, toss with about six thin slices of the chestnut butter. Check the seasoning before serving.

Variations * Add a few unpeeled garlic cloves to the sprouts before roasting. * Toss the sprouts with other cooked greens or stir them through a risotto.

BeverleyMag’s top ten facts about Brussels sprouts Loved by many and hated by almost as many, the humble sprout has become a traditional Christmas vegetable, so let’s have some facts.

time using a cocktail stick.

1. Brussels sprouts were grown in Belgium from the 13th century which is what gave them their name.

Rebekah’s

Beauty Box I remember when the rose gold trend first came around with the introduction of the iPhone 6S.Consumerism went bonkers and suddenly everything – including beauty products – was dripping in a pretty metallic frosting. A few years and fashions later (marble, unicorns and mermaids, anyone?) I feel that rose gold, much like the same iPhone 6S I still use, is very much pretty enough to be “a thing”.

With the festive season almost upon us, it’s the perfect time to embrace this shimmering trend and add a little lustre to your look.

For styling tools worthy of Instagram, the T3 SinglePass Luxe Straightener (£145, spacenk. com) is just dreamy. Forget about ghds, this ceramic-plated beauty can straighten, curl and shape and is set in white and rose gold with five adjustable heat settings.

For a budget-friendly option,

Lily England’s Deluxe Hair Straighteners in rose gold (£34.99, lilyengland.com) work wonders to banish frizz and smooth hair, with rounded handles that make it easy to create curls and volume.

Fit for any magpie, the Lily England Face Makeup Brush Set in Rose Gold, (£24.99, lilyengland.com) is perfect for beauty beginners and professionals alike and would make a gorgeous Christmas gift. This five-piece vegan and cruelty-free make-up brush set includes brushes to apply foundation, powder/bronzer, blush/highlighter and eyeshadow plus an angled brow brush with spoolie, all wrapped in a white and rose gold cosmetics bag.

spacenk.com) comes in three gorgeous colours; mint, fuchsia or pearl pink, with a beautiful rose gold centre responsible for delivering a 20-minute sheet mask in just 90 seconds. Using Foreo’s mini masks, the UFO activates ingredients along with cooling, heating, T-Sonic pulsations and LED light therapy for spalevel bliss. Slightly cheaper for the pocket, T-Zone Rose Gold Peel Off Mask (£3.95, Superdrug) is fab for brightening skin, promising to help unclog pores. Or try the MasqueBAR Rose Gold Foil Peel Off Pod (£3.99, Next); in super-cute packaging it’s fab for travelling and leaves skin soft and supple.

Pick of the Month

I’m a total sucker for packaging, and new luxury brand Dear Dahlia (pictured above) has just launched in the UK, with ridiculously beautiful packaging.

Rose gold and marble surround each of the products in the line, including beautiful lipsticks at £28, plus all products are vegan and cruelty free!

Elsewhere, Kat Von D brings a touch of luxury to eye makeup with her Creamfoil Long-wear Eyeshadow in Crystal Rose (£17, Debenhams). This pretty pinky gold can be applied using fingertips for a super sheen, or a brush for a more subtle glow.

For skin, the Foreo UFO (£249,

Another favourite in the sheet mask aisle is Seoulista Beauty Gold Glow Instant Facial (£14, soulistabeauty.com), with primrose oil and rose oil extract for a restorative, anti-ageing treatment.

I love to follow a sheet mask with an oil and the Rose Gold Oil from Jane Scrivner (£30, janescrivner. com) is packed with rose oil for soothing and reducing redness, and jojoba for balancing and hydrating.

Before using any masks, exfoliating is a must; to allow the product to reach new skin, sloughing away the dead cells is crucially important.

Adarci (pictured right) is a vegan and cruelty-free brand with Radiance Enhancing Exfoliator (£64, adarci.com), which uses AHAs

6 Realistic Relationship Goals For 2020

The New Year is coming, which means New Year’s Resolutions! While they have a tendency to be forgotten as soon as they’re made, don’t feel bad - most of mine don’t either. So instead of thinking in terms of resolutions, it’s a great time to set your relationship goals for 2020.

Here are seven realistic goals to consider, because doing something new can totally transform your relationship.

1. To Be Actually Happy Together Make sure you’re happy together, rather than just being together.

“The number-one relationship goal should be for happiness with your partner,” online dating expert Cori Clark tells BeverleyMag. “Each partner should recognise what makes him or her happy and strive to find that element with the other as well as alone.”

Of course, happiness is going to look different for everyone — and that’s OK. The important thing is finding what works for you and not falling into complacency.

Be self-reflective every day and focus on how to make it a happy relationship.

2. To Do Something New Once A Month Adding some novelty into your relationship is a great way to keep things fresh - and it’s also a totally attainable goal. It doesn’t matter what it is, but make it new.

A new restaurant, a new city, a new activity - just commit to mixing it up. “When you try new things together you are creating shared experiences that are new and exciting,” dating coach and marriage therapist Suzie Adams tells BeverleyMag. “That shared excitement is a way to have both

closeness and stimulation, which is a great combination for sparking things back up.”

A little change can make a big difference.

3. To Keep Remembering What You Love About One Another No matter how annoyed or angry you can be with your partner - and that’s fair, nobody’s perfect - you need to able to focus on the positive. So if your partner gets on your nerves occasionally or frustrates you, try to keep the big picture in perspective.

“Researchers found that the only common trait amongst couples in long-term happy relationships was the ability to maintain positive illusions of the other,” So remind yourself why your partner, and remind yourself often.

4. To Have Regular Date Nights Date nights can make a huge difference - and they’re a totally sustainable goal. Don’t underestimate the power of setting

regular time aside for just you and your partner. “This is a little cheesy, but the reality is that in long-term relationships, couples drift apart and mistake the business of taking care of a long-term relationship for romance,” York-based relationship expert Penny Jones says: “Going over bills and choosing paint colours for walls is not going to keep your relationship fresh.” It doesn’t have to be flowers and a movie just make sure it happens.

5. To Find A Way To Give Back It’s too easy to get introspective as a couple - but it’s important that you and your partner don’t exist in a bubble. That feeling when you’re so focused on yourself and each other that you can forget the world outside can be a dangerous one.

Make sure you’re doing something to give back together. Find a cause you both care about to donate too or volunteer opportunities to take part in and make it a goal to help others. It’s good for you, good for others, and working together for a larger cause has a way of bringing people together.

6. Show Appreciation I don’t know how many times I say ‘Thank you,” to my girlfriend every day, but it’s a lot. And I hear it back a lot too. Making sure that neither of you feels taken for granted is a good way to keep your relationship happy and healthy.

As another year comes to an end, what resolutions are you going to make?

l Women make health-focused resolutions while men pledge to find a new job and lay off the alcohol.

Making New Year’s resolutions is a time-honoured tradition all around the world. We all hope for a better future - especially when the year we’re leaving behind has been tough.

So, what are we all wishing for in 2020? Here are the top 10 New Year’s resolutions according to a survey of 2,000 people:

According to research on the topic, about 60 percent of us admit that we make New Year’s resolutions but only about 8 percent of us are successful in achieving them.

Regardless of whether we achieved our previous resolutions, most of us go on and make new ones.

Here are a few more interesting facts about New Year’s resolutions: l Saving money is one of the top five New Year’s resolutions and also in the top five for most commonly failed. l More than half of respondents failed before January 31.

1. Diet or eat healthier (71%) 2. Exercise more (65%) 3. Lose weight (54%) 4. Save more and spend less (32%) 5. Learn a new skill or hobby (26%) 6. Quit smoking (21%) 7. Read more (17%) 8. Find another job (16%) 9. Drink less alcohol (15%) 10. More time with family and (13%) Are any of these resolutions on your personal list? Who knows -- this just might be the year that you achieve every goal you set for yourself.

Here’s to a new year filled with much success and happiness.

New Year, New You

How to approach a career change… and secure your next job According to career change statistics, the average person will change career five to seven times during their working life. Whether your career goals have shifted, your values have changed or you’re just ready to try something new, navigating a career change can be a daunting prospect.

Here are some expert tips on what to consider when embarking on a career change, and how to secure your first job in your chosen profession.

Understand your motives The first things to consider when planning a career change is why you want to make it and why now’s the best time to do it. Timing is everything, because it takes commitment, energy, focus and dedication to make a successful move and you need to be 100% ready to commit yourself to this process

Writing a short profile at the top of your CV outlining your experience and why you plan to change career. Your cover letter should complement your CV and focus on why you want this particular opportunity you’re applying for as part of your career change.

If you have anything relevant to the career change such as training or academic qualifications, make sure they are visible early in your CV.

Build up a network of contacts in the field Talk to people about the work they do - This helps you find out whether you’d like it, but also gives you the right terminology. Meeting people face-to-face also puts you in a much stronger position to ask for advice and you might just find a mentor or sponsor for your new career.

Weigh up the pros and cons of unpaid work experience Perhaps you’re a journalist, looking to land your first job on a national title. Whether or not you’ve been paid for your writing, having a piece published on the title you’re

hoping to write for will not only boost your byline, but could prove a great asset to show an editor, if you apply for a paid position there in the future.

Assess your transferable skills, then highlight them Make sure your CV and covering letter show [your] skills which match the role, even if your background is unconventional. Pull apart the job spec and highlight the keywords, competencies, traits, skills and language being used.

Then pull apart your experience and achievements and match them up.

Over-prepare for interviews Conducting some thorough research on the company you’re interviewing with could be the crucial factor that sets you apart from other candidates with more experience in the field. Celebrate your unconventional background Celebrate your background Talk about the ways your experience and skills are not only different but add something unusual to the mix. Come up with a compelling elevator pitch around what it is you want to do and how you feel you could add value, point out that showing commitment and being a good cultural fit for the organisation are often more important than having prior experience in a similar role.

Top 4 Must Visit Destinations You Need To Travel To In 2020

Wondering where to go on holiday next year? From Bhutan to Georgia, we spoke with the UK’s top travel experts to find out their emerging destinations to add to your 2020 bucket list.

2019 is drawing to a close, so naturally - as this cold, British weather sets in - we’re starting to think about the alluring destinations we can visit next year.

Top tips: There’s so much to do in Tokyo, from the historic temples like Sensō-ji and Meiji-jingu to the bustling modern cities and buildings including the Skytree and Tower to the instantly recognisable Shibuya crossing. It’s also home to incredible food (if you like matcha, you’re in for a treat) and great karaoke.

While 2019 was all about the south of Italy, Mykonos and France, some vastly different places have been suggested by top travel experts for the places to be next year.

According to experts The Travel Corporation and Booking.com, next year, travellers will be considering sustainability, the chance to slow down and opting for the lesser-known, secondtier destinations rather than the obvious city or resort.

As Arjan Dijk, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Booking.com says: ‘As we enter a new decade, we’ll see the travel industry respond to a more sustainable, inquisitive and technologically-advanced traveller through the development of products, services and functions that make it easier for everyone to experience the world.

‘From identifying second cities to help combat over-tourism, to providing ever-more tailored travel recommendations and ensuring the most diverse selection of places to stay for customers across the globe, we want to ensure travellers are prepared, supported and excited by the prospect of travel into 2020 and far beyond.’

With this in mind, here’s a list of the places the experts are suggesting you visit next year and the destinations rapidly appearing on people’s 2020 bucket list:

1. Bhutan Why for 2020: Topping Lonely Planet’s ‘Best In Travel for 2020’ is the kingdom of Bhutan. As well as its rich culture and history, the country has been awarded the number one spot because it is the only carbon-negative country in the world and set to be the first fully organic nation by next year. Taking its surroundings into consideration, Bhutan also operates a tourist fee to curb any negative effects of tourism, charging around £195 per day for visitors.

Top Tips: Any visit to Bhutan must be organised through an authorised travel agent in advance, so that in itself can be handy for tips. Lonely Planet recommends mountain hikes through the monastry-ladened hills, witnessing ancient Buddhist traditions and basking in the country’s natural beauty all while enjoying what nature has to offer, unspoiled an oversaturation of tourism.

2. Tokyo, Japan Why for 2020: Though there’s arguably been buzz over Japan’s capital city in 2019, as it has hosted the rugby world cup, there’s going to be an even bigger spotlight on the city next year when it is home to the 2020 summer Olympics.

BeverleyMag December 2019 / January 2020

3. Jeju Island, South Korea Why for 2020: The experts at Booking.com have scouted out South Korea and, in particular, spots on Jeju Island like Seogwipo as an emerging destination to visit next year.

Top Tips: Jeju island is an area of natural beauty with a volcanic coastline and impressive waterfalls like Jeonbang (pictured) and Cheonjiyon Falls. A destination well suited to the active traveller, activities on offer include hiking up Mount Hallasan, scuba diving, and swimming is the island’s second largest city, Seogwipo. Booking. com also recommends Olle Market for street food and fresh produce and downtown Seogwipo for traditional Korean restaurants.

4. Krakow, Poland Why for 2020: Next year marks a poignant anniversary for the museum of Auschwitz - 70 years since the Nazi concentration camp was liberated. Commemorated at the end of January, it is likely to see hundreds of people come to pay their respects. The city of Krakow is just an hour and a half away from the museum.

Top tips: In Krakow, itself, there’s a lot to explore. The Main Square is a beautiful central location as is the Cloth market hall, St Mary’s Basilica and Wawel Castle. The city has also garnered a reputation for its exciting nightlife complete with plenty of bars and clubs.

China...

A country so big and diverse, a fascinating experience. If China is on your bucket list I recommend you visit sooner rather than later as it has certainly changed a great deal following my last visit in 2002.

High tech, populated yet still steeped in history are the first words that spring to mind. Long gone are the navy outfits and rickshaws, replaced by high fashion, mobile phones with charging points and Boris Bikes everywhere. Electric cars and scooters are in abundance and the posh cars trying to negotiate the busy roads are unbelievable. What was my highlight?

Well I have a few… The pandas, I saw 28 in total from adults to tiny new borns cared for in incubators plus Red Pandas which are not quite so adorable. A cruise down the River Li amongst and a walk in the countryside amongst the Padi Fields still years behind located nearby the city of Guilin which has lots of parkland.

The cities of Xian & Beijing that I had previously visited where unrecognisable other than the city walls and historic features they have preserved.

Beijing now has 5 ring roads!

It was the first time I had visited Shanghai the skyline at night was amazing. I just loved the museum, we were there for nearly 3 hours and I certainly could have stayed all day but time called for lunch followed by the fastest train in the world. The journey from the centre of Shanghai to the airport takes a mere 7 minutes and travels at 439 km an hour.

Tourism is booming not just for foreign visitors, the Chinese are out in force. E.g. 10,000 visitors to the Terracotta Warriors a day!

Our group flew from Humberside to Amsterdam then directly to Shanghai and back the same way from Beijing. The particular tour I choose was for 18 days obviously we did not see everything but our itinerary was packed from dawn to dusk. All though it was stated as a moderate tour many days we walked over 13,000 steps. We ate Chinese food every lunch and dinner yet never tired of it.

In fact within a week of being home we were eating in our local restaurant!

We offer a superb selection of tours to China, I am very happy to talk through your requirements or if you would like to join our next special departure please register your interest.

We book all tour operators at Marion Owen Travel and our enjoyment is to fulfill your travelling desires and aspirations.

We can book all of your arrangements simply give us a call.

Antiques - Sponsored by David Duggleby Auctioneers & Valuers

Old Sheffield Plate Silverware is stylish, decorative and – if we’re talking about anything of any size – very expensive.

However, thanks to an 18th century metalworker called Thomas Bolsover silverware was to become a feature of many homes.

In 1740 Bolsover solved the problem of silver plating, covering base metal with a thin layer of silver.

This ‘Sheffield Plate’ looked as good as the solid thing but used only a fraction of the weight of precious metal.

Small items could be made comparatively cheaply and really large and extravagant pieces – which would have cost a king’s ransom in solid silver – could be manufactured in quantity.

The technique pioneered by Bolsover involved binding a sheet of sterling silver to an ingot of copper and fusing them together in a furnace. The metal was then rolled or hammered into a sheet from which the objects were created.

Initially there were some difficulties. The silver was applied to just one side of the sheet and therefore if you could look inside such a piece …. say with a tankard or rose bowl …. It was very obvious that the piece was plate. This problem was overcome around 1770 when what is known as the double sandwich method was invented …. a layer of silver was applied to both sides of the plate.

The other major difficulty for metalworkers was that as soon as they cut a sheet of silver plate they ended up with a copper edge. In the early days this problem was overcome by applying a film of solder over the bare edge and it is worth noting that these pieces are now very rare. Later the problem was overcome by applying a u-shaped section of silver wire to hide the exposed copper.

Sheffield Plating was to reign supreme for exactly a century and then the craft was wiped out almost overnight. In 1840 the electroplating process was discovered in which the base metal is covered with a thin layer of silver by electro-deposition. Initially the electro-platers continued to use copper as their base but later

they switched to nickel …. the ubiquitous EPNS. Today there is a tendency for people to refer to all antique silver plate as ‘Sheffield Plate’ but when knowledgeable collectors use the term they are referring to the old process. They would not describe electroplated items as Sheffield Plate even when the electroplating has been done in Sheffield, which much of it was.

Early Sheffield Plate is not usually marked, although some makers did use a symbol. That changed in the early 19th century when makers began using marks which look rather like the hallmarks used on solid silver. Electroplated wares usually are marked.

One point which is worth noting is that silver is a very soft metal and zealous cleaning over a hundred and fifty years or more results in the surface layer wearing away so that the copper becomes visible, particularly on ridged and embossed areas.

This wear is inevitable and collectors like to see it. It proves

BeverleyMag December 2019 / January 2020

that the piece is Sheffield Plate, has some age to it and is not an electroplated reproduction. It also shows that it has not been ‘renovated’ by electroplating, which is something that went on in the late Victorian or Edwardian times when pieces were beginning to show their age. Later electroplating is going to considerably devalue the price that will be paid in the saleroom.

Speaking of prices, there is today considerable interest from specialist collectors in antique silver plate and a considerable premium for Old Sheffield Plate but of course there is still a great difference between these items and the same pieces in solid silver. The items illustrated are a pair of George III Adam style Old Sheffield Plate sauce tureens and covers of boat shaped pedestal form, about 24cm long, which realised £240 at a recent auction sale in Scarborough.

If they had been the same period in hallmarked silver they would have been worth at least £400 and if later electroplated copies about £40!

Hull City Column - by Woody Mellor

Nothing as predictable as our unpredictability

For Hull City fans of many years there is nothing as precictable as the teams ability to move from great performances to abject performances within days and games they should win are obviously the ones where it goes wrong.

for 3-4 games then gets injured, Magennis comes good after his suspensions and gets injured in training and Kevin Stewart injures his metatarsal. I think Stewart is out of contract too so unless he is persuaded to sign a new deal then he may walk away in May. Off field the club have finally realised that their most important customers are their fans, not Sky TV. Gates have fallen to around 8 - 9,000 plus away fans and this will not pay the wage bill. The club would have lost around £20 million in the previous season but for the

After a great run or results Hull City go to Middlesborough, near the foot of the table, and go 2-0 down at half time. They haven’t won at the Riverside or Ayresome Park for a quarter of a century and but for the excellence of Jarrod Bowen they would have gone down to yet another defeat in Cleveland. City managed a 2-2 draw but for a game they should have been firing for to get closer to the play-offs they perform in first gear ibefore a half time roasting from Grant McCann.

We then play Preston who have been in the top four throughout the year, comprehensively out play them, score four and could easily have scored several more. Just when everyone starts to dream that a playoff campaign looks likely they then go to bottom club Barnsley and lose 3-1. As soon as you hear a side haven’t won for seventeen games the long term fans know what we are likely to do. Typical City!

Despite this they have been on a great recent run with victories over a number of teams in play off positions. On our day we do

have potential to do well in this position if they can keep Grosicki and Bowen for the remainder of the season and they can keep the majority of the core members of the squad fit. Alas the form of Bowen must be attracting attention, particularly for sides chasing promotion or seeking a relatively cheap option to keep themselves in the Premier League.

Worse than this three key players have now gained injuries which will keep them out till around February.

Jon Toral made a great impact

BeverleyMag December 2019 / January 2020

last parachute payment so gates as they are will not balance the books even after the departures of high earners in the summer. The club have now reduced the posts of memberships for everyone and have some cheap ticket options to attract others to a series of matches. Will this make a difference and help increase gates or will it just be something to help current passholders . What happens on the pitch will obviously attract more people and even the basics of a ticket office and pay on the day

turnstiles would be other things to make the experience of coming to a game so much easier. Reducing staff costs or taking away turnstile attendants may save some money but if it made things easier for casual fans to attend a game for the first time since the FA Cup Final days then it’s another thing to consider as its reductions for disabled fans too, as this has been overlooked too.

It goes without saying that some former fans may not return till a regime change but their appears to be a positive mood from some people regards the price reductions and the efforts being made to correct some of the many issues over the past five years. The club are apparently in negotiations with potential buyers once again, but we’ve heard this for around five years so we’ll believe it when it happens. This may only happen if gates increase and show the club still has potential and if Bowen moves for at least £20 million and the figure for a takeover deal reduces significantly. Arguably investors wouldn’t be do keen if the club’s main goalscorer and key asset is sold but the club isn’t worth the £50 million the Allams still require. Treat it all with a pinch of salt.

All we can hope for are a few more victories In the Christmas period, including Elland Road, if possible and a few extra players in January.

The play offs may not be a forlorn hope as they have defeated more teams challenging for promotion than they did last year. Maybe if they can reduce the inbuilt Hull City inconsistency then maybe we should dare to dream once again.

Top tips for December/January Gardening December can be a quiet month in the garden, but there are more things to take care of than you might think. With limited daylight hours as we approach the shortest day of the year, this month’s crisp wintery weather can be strikingly beautiful and bitterly cold in equal measure..

Timely Tips 1. Dig over empty borders and prepare your soil for next year’s planting.

2. Group potted plants together in a sheltered spot in the garden to protect them from the harshest winter weather.

3. Get pruning - wisteria, fruit trees, roses and Japanese maples are just some of the plants that benefit from a winter prune.

l Prune climbing roses now, removing diseased or damaged growth and tying in any new shoots to their support. Prune older flowered side shoots back by two thirds of their length. l Prune Japanese Maples (Acers) and vines if needed, as they will bleed sap if pruning is done any later.

spots; clustering them together them together helps protect the root systems from suffering frost damage

l Leave the faded flower heads on your hydrangeas until spring, as they provide frost protection to the swelling buds further down the stems.

l Check climbers are securely attached to their supports with ties.

l If any of your rose bushes suffered from blackspot or rust this summer, gather up and remove any fallen leaves to reduce the chance of infection next year. l Lift and store dahlia tubers once their leaves are blackened by frost.

4. Look after the birds - clean feeders, stock up on fat balls and make sure they have access to fresh water.

In the flower garden l Start to winter-prune wisteria, cutting back summer side-shoots to 2 or 3 buds.

l Harvest holly with berries for making Christmas garlands and wreaths. Stand them in a bucket of water until you’re ready to use them. l Take root cuttings of oriental poppies and grow them on in cold frames.

l Dig over empty borders and pile manure on top - let the worms and frosts break up the clods of soil. l Dig a trench for next year’s beans, fill it with compostable kitchen waste (not cooked food) and re-cover with soil. This will rot down and dramatically improve the growing conditions. l Cover winter brassicas with netting to protect them from pigeons.

l Take hardwood cuttings from suitable trees and shrubs. l Spread fresh gravel or grit around alpine plants.

l Move containers of shrubs or bedding planters to a sheltered

In the vegetable garden l Lift your last leeks and parsnips before the soil becomes frozen, and heel them in to a trench beside a convenient path. They’ll keep for several months like this and can be easily brought indoors when required. l Remove yellowing leaves from your winter brassicas – they’re no use to the plant and may harbour pests and diseases. l If you haven’t already, cut down dead asparagus foliage and the top growth of Jerusalem artichokes.

Order your asparagus crowns now for planting in spring.

BeverleyMag December 2019 / January 2020

l Keep fleece to hand to protect hardy salad crops such as Lettuce ‘Winter Gem’, winter land cress, purslane, and corn salad on cold nights. l Protect any remaining celery plants left in the soil by covering with straw or fleece. l Cover heavy clay soil with polythene to keep it drier and allow winter digging. l While many parts of the garden and allotment are cleared, use this opportunity to install a permanent network of hard-wearing paths.

FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT

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

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Is it the festive season already? Oh my goodness. I can’t believe it. 2019 has certainly gone by quickly.

I do love this time of year though. Spending real quality time with my family, baking yummy treats, playing board games, doing jigsaws and watching Christmas films. Going to Mass on Christmas Eve. Singing Christmas Carols and singing along to Michael Buble. “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…..” You know the one!

Of course, we love giving and receiving presents too, but let’s not go overboard.

How much money you spend on someone isn’t a measure of your love. Spending your time with them is. Saying that, I’m sure we’ll be buying something extra special for our puppy’s first Christmas! And please don’t forget to check on your elderly relatives and neighbours. I’m sure they’d love it if you dropped in with a mince pie or two!

How many streaming devices do we need?

So what will you be watching your Christmas films on this year? Normal TV? Sky? Netflix? Apple TV? Now TV? Amazon? Britbox? I’ve probably forgotten a few as well.

My point is, do we need all of these streaming services? Each one has a monthly subscription fee and they all mount up, don’t they? Some people end up spending around £75 a month. How many TV subscriptions do you have, why did you choose them and do you watch them all? All advice gratefully received!

A Christmas Poem The Day Before Christmas ~ Author Unknown We have been helping with the cake, And licking out the pan, And wrapping up our packages, As neatly as we can.

We have hung our stockings up, Beside the open grate.

And now there’s nothing more to do, Except To Wait.

And finally……..Thank you so much for continuing to read my column and for all the lovely comments you send in to me. Here’s wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Have fun!
