Lack of food hygiene skills putting residents at risk People in the Yorkshire and Humber region are still putting themselves at risk of food poisoning through lack of knowledge of food hygiene, according to research by the Food Standards Agency (FSA). A recent survey carried out by the FSA to mark the start of Food Safety Week, revealed many people were not familiar with the four “c’s” of food hygiene – chilling, cooking, cleaning and avoiding crosscontamination. In the Yorkshire and Humber region, 32 per cent of people surveyed said they never changed their chopping boards between different types of food – increasing the risk of cross-contamination. One in seven people who were spoken to admitted to not washing their hands before starting to cook or prepare food. More than a third of people said they sometimes washed raw chicken, which also poses a risk of cross contamination as washing chickens spreads bacteria. Over half of the people surveyed did not know that a fridge should be kept between zero degrees Celsius and five degrees Celsius but a third said they did defrost meat or fish in the microwave or fridge, in line with FSA guidelines. Andrew Buxton, food services manager at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The figures released by the FSA are quite alarming as it shows people are continuing to put themselves at risk of food poisoning through cross-contamination. “It is so important to change chopping boards and knives when
preparing raw meats and foods such as ready-to-eat foods as any bacteria from the raw foods will easily transfer. “In the summer when temperatures start to rise, people do need to ensure their food hygiene is good as bacteria will multiply quickly when it is hot and spread more easily, increasing the risk of food poisoning and spoilage. “It’s important to keep perishable foods refrigerated, put the fridge on a higher setting and not to overstock it. “A top tip if you need to defrost foods is to do this in the fridge as this is safer and it will actually help the fridge compartment keep cool.” For more information on food hygiene and how to cook safely in the summer go to www.food.gov.uk/safe-summer-food

Bi-Folding Doors With the arrival of Summer and the wonderful warm weather, those Spring and Winter days spent hibernating away from the cold inside are now well and truly behind us. Rather than blocking the elements out, we can endeavour to spend more time outside and begin to welcome the outside in.
One feature which has epitomised this new trend is the bi-folding door. Glass bi-folding doors effectively enable whole walls to disappear, blurring the distinction between indoor and outdoor. As the weather improves bi-folding doors can thus enable us to expand our liveable area, through creating a seamless transition between once distinct environments.
Architectural design has been evolving over recent years to be more ‘welcoming’ to our surrounding environment. This has involved both a significant increase in the volume of glass used within our properties and also homes being designed in an increasingly ‘open’ style, generating a heightened sense of both light and space.

Car insurance rising five times higher than inflation The cost of car insurance is rising five times faster than inflation, according to research by a leading market agency. The report by Consumer Intelligence shows that the average cost of insurance rose by 15.7 per cent over the past 12 months (May 2016 May 2017), pushing average premiums to £666. Those living in London now pay £1000 per year, while young drivers in the UK are changed the most, with an average policy coming to £1202. The average increase is significantly higher than the current Consumer Prices Index inflation rate of 2.7 per cent and doesn’t take into account June’s rise in Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) from 10 to 12 per cent, which means further price hikes are likely. Consumer Intelligence compared the prices offered for 3250 people by all the major price comparison sites and key direct insurers and found that the cut in the Ogden rate is driving the rise in bills. It also claims that average motor insurance premiums have increased by 34.6 per cent, since October 2013. Drivers aged between 21 and 24 pay the most at £1202 but have seen slightly lower annual premium increases at 13.1 per cent. Over-50s motorists are experiencing the biggest rises at 17.9 per cent but pay premiums of £418. Motorists in London pay the highest average premiums of £1000 across the country – more than double the £474 bill in Scotland and the South West. “Price rises had been levelling off at the end of last year but are now rising rapidly as the full impact of the discount rate cut comes into effect,” said John Blevins, Consumer Intelligence pricing expert. “However with the impact of the latest Insurance Premium Tax rise still to come into effect drivers need to shop around to limit increases in premiums,” he added. REGION AVERAGE PREMIUM (FIVE CHEAPEST) London £1,000 North West £867 West Midlands £748 Yorkshire & The Humber £658 North East £646 East Midlands £553 South East £549 Wales £539 Scotland £474 South West £474 GREAT BRITAIN £666
PRICE RISE IN YEAR TO MAY 16.7% 15.7% 13.0% 15.7% 18.9% 17.6% 13.5% 14.4% 16.6% 15.9% 15.7%

Top tips to make your rental property feel like home It can be difficult for tenants to put their stamp on their rental home, take a look at our top tips for making your rental home feel like home. Don’t forget that if you are wishing to undertake any decorating you will need to get permission from your landlord. l Use soft furnishings to make your mark. Choose an accent colour or jazzy pattern and use curtains and cushions to tie this in. This is particularly useful if you live in furnished accommodation. l If you choose a non-furnished property you will be able to purchase your own furniture to your own taste. l Have you heard about temporary wall and tile decals, these simply stick on to walls or bathroom tiles and peel off when you leave.
To Contact
l Display art and photos – don’t forget to check you are ok to pop nails in the wall before you do so. If you’re not allowed to do this, explore other options such as displaying art by standing frames on your fireplace and any shelves. l Accessorise – use quirky and stylish accessories such as colourful rugs and floor lamps. l Pick up some plants – plants are perfect for livening up any space. l Get creative with storage – whilst you may not be able to put up shelves, consider ladder style shelves that simply lean against walls or IKEA do some great free standing shelving units that can provide a great backdrop to a room once filled with books, dvds and pictures. l Use mirrors to create the illusion of more space, you can lean these against walls rather than hang them up. l If your landlord has given you permission to decorate, make sure that you also check if they are expecting you to return the property to its original condition when you move out. You might not want to redecorate a property that you are leaving!

Popular Moors Explorer Bus Returns For Summer 2017 Local bus company East Yorkshire Motor Services has announced that its popular Moors Explorer bus from Hull, Hessle, Cottingham and Beverley to the North York Moors will run again during Summer 2017. Moors Explorer is the only direct public transport route up to the North York Moors from the Hull and East Riding area, and is especially loved by ramblers, who use it to access parts of the Moors which are otherwise inaccessible for those without a car. The bus calls at Hessle, Anlaby, Willerby, Hull City Centre, Cottingham and Beverley before travelling up to Malton, Pickering, Kirkbymoorside, Hutton le Hole, Blakey, Castleton and Danby. There is also the opportunity to travel from Pickering on to Helmsley and Thornton Le Dale, using other EYMS buses. This year, the bus will be running during the May Bank Holiday weekend (28 & 29 May), and then on the summer Sundays and bank holidays of 23 & 30 July and 6, 13, 20, 27 & 28 August. EYMS Marketing Manager Claire Robinson commenting on the Moors Explorer bus service said; “Moors Explorer has had a great reaction from the public since
we launched it a few years ago, and it gives people a ‘green’ way to visit the North York Moors without clogging up the roads with cars.” “Rain or shine, there’s always something to do and see up in the Moors, so plan Moors Explorer into your next visit to the Yorkshire Moors and help us ensure that we can keep running this valuable service for years to come.” More information can be found by picking up a leaflet from Hull Interchange, Beverley Bus Station, or local Tourist Information Centres.

Do Try This At Home Eating al fresco creates a sense of occasion, elevating the most familiar of meals into something a bit more social. Add an inspired ‘no-effort’ drinks choice and you’ll have the makings of a more authentic culinary experience as well. According to the experts, aromatic white wines such as Riesling and Pinot Noir suit Chinese and Thai dishes and Rose´ goes with everything. For a thirst-quenching option, choose Thai beers and Indian Pale Ales.
Perennial summer favourites, cider and scrumpy are back in fashion thanks to a whole fruit bowl of flavours and are a good match for a ploughman’s. You’ll find them on supermarket shelves alongside the heritage brands and a new crop of future classics from artisan brewers. Taking things beyond the eating stage, there’s still no effort involved with pre-mixed cans of all manner of spirits, gin in various disguises, Jack Daniels with honey, strawberry daiquiri and mojito to name a few. There are plenty of no or low-alcohol options with ‘posh’ cordials getting a make-over, nostalgic lemonade or low alcohol ginger beer and home-concocted or ready prepared ‘mocktails’.
Sharing platters typify colourful Mediterranean dishes and there’re plenty of wines to complement. Prosecco and sparkling wines suit summer eating, whilst full-bodied Chiantis and Riojas add depth to sunshine flavours. A glass or two of sparkling wine, spritzers or non-alcoholic fruit punch jazzes up a salad, whilst Pimms and lemonade with cucumber and garden mint is the perfect tipple for an afternoon tea.
No need to get the kettle or coffee maker on to finish things off if you serve pre-prepared speciality iced coffees, or for a change to match Asian inspired foods, why not try an iced mint tea or Chai Latte? Cheers!

How to cook the perfect steak Although many a cook would argue that the pig is a trottered suitcase of infinitely more options than the cow, I stand by team cow. Sadly, I cannot dwell on the delights of pressed-muzzle vinaigrette or poached tongue, beetroots and horseradish, as I must concentrate on the love of steak alone. Nonetheless, a steak is, and should absolutely always be, a treat, however often eaten. When it comes to bread, I cannot deny chewing on sliced white pigeon food and I must admit to having drunk a lot of cheap, bad wine, but with steak, I will pay the price down to that last spinning gold coin. It’s the price that must be paid for what should always be a great life with one bad day - the way I hope to go. I don’t care to know the Christian name of a particular cow or even which field it’s from, as I believe this storytelling is often a hoodwink for quality. Beef cattle should be husbanded with love and grown slowly on good pastures. They will get fat in the right places - and fat is key. In short, buy beef from a trusted butcher and steer clear (excuse the pun) of cheap or cut-price meat for, all too often, dietary obsessions and the trend for overly lean meat only makes for a tricky cooking experience and a bland end result. It’s far better to graze less when stopping to buy petrol, but to enjoy a properly fattened steak occasionally.
the meat will still be grey on the outside even when it’s ready to leave the pan. If there’s no sizzle, don’t start cooking.
Try to ignore the flimsy mantra of hanging beef for 21 days, too, as it means nothing if the meat isn’t good in the first place. If there’s no fat, there’s no point - even virtually fat-less steak cuts taste better from a well-fatted cow. When it comes to the actual cooking, the ‘thumb and fingers’ rule for testing whether it’s ‘done’ is often unreliable. For those who don’t know what this is, don’t worry - it should be forgotten.
Taking time to rest the steak is also important, as, while cooking, the juices of the meat are chased into the middle and are redistributed when the meat is allowed to relax. The meat needs to unclench from the shock of the heat and relax into juicy tenderness. Resting also allows the cooking process to continue for a while, too. If you eat your steak straight out of the pan, it’s likely to be more raw in the middle than intended, yet, if allowed to rest for a good 5–10 minutes, it will be perfect.
Much more importantly, sizzling sounds must immediately be heard from meat entering the pan or hot-footing it onto the charcoal, as this will ensure a pleasing caramelisation and, subsequently, a deeper taste. The chances are that, if the pan was quiet for a while,
At the end of cooking, be sure to season your meat with goodquality flaked sea salt. The addition of herbs,such as fresh tarragon, fresh sweet marjoram, rosemary (fresh or dried), oregano (fresh or dried) and sage (fresh or dried), is great with beef, too.
As a general rule, however, top chefs recommend that, when cooking a rib-eye weighing about 190g (6½oz), you fry each side of the steak for 1 minute 30 seconds for rare; 2 minutes for medium rare; 2 minutes 15 seconds for medium and 3 minutes for well done. And, whatever you do, don’t move the steak until it’s time to turn it over. If there’s a good strip of fat, I stand the meat on the rind and fry it for a bit, so that, when fully cooked, the crispy fat can be enjoyed too.

Hull City Column
So where do Hull City go from here? After falling at the final hurdles Hull City ended their Premier League season with the shambolic 7-1 home defeat to Spurs which was our worst home defeat ever. If that wasn’t bad enough Marco Silva has already jumped ship and who knows what players will remain come August following the expected sale of Harry Maguire as well as shock departure of Curtis Davies. If Davies has quit for a small buy out clause activated by Derby then everyone is available.
Potentially the Allam’s could pocket another £30 - £40 million in transfer fees unless clubs can force through cheaper deals for set buy out fees. The question is whether these funds and the £30 million parachute payments will be reinvested or will we go the way of Blackpool and play youngsters and free transfer hasbeens? Many suspect the latter but what would be the best option for the Allams? Should they pocket the cash or try to get the club promoted back to the Sky riches and a potential sale. They could have sold the club on for £70 million or so twelve months ago but they demanded £150 million and the only interest came from China. They well and truly botched up a
Will next season be a team of Eastern European signings and youngsters from Chelsea from Slutsky’s association with Roman Abramovich. Slutsky has no experience outside of Russia so does he have the same abilities as Marco Silva who succeeded (well almost) in three countries. One worry is the quality of some of the other coaches and administrators being brought into the managerial team alongside Slutsky. Silva brought in his trusted colleagues from Portugal but Slutsky has coaches from championship clubs and Ehabs mate Robinson coming back for fitness work even though he was pushed out previously by Steve Bruce. Tony Pennock returns to help bring

Maybe another promotion is the aim? The club could have appointed a low cost lower division manager but they have appointed the former CSKA Moscow and Russia manager Leonid Slutsky alongside a new head of recruitment/ director of football. Slutsky has won trophies and has both Champions league and International football experience. Surely he only considered us if he has a fighting chance of recruiting a promotion team.
“Is selling the club the main option”
through the youngsters which on one hand is good but with £60 million budget surely they can afford more than Chelsea loanees and our kids if they want to return to the big league. On the subject of Silva why has he chosen Watford? All that they can achieve is midtable in the Premier league and this club seem to sack managers on a yearly basis so how does he aim to enhance his reputation here? Southampton, Palace or Porto would appear to have been better options if they were all genuinely interested. Over the coming weeks we look forward to Slutsky attempting to bring in new faces and the departure of stars. If they hadn’t bottled it again against Sunderland then it may have been a different story altogether. The next few weeks will be vital to the future of Hull City AFC. The club will have some of the smallest crowds in the Championship next year but the funding provided by the summer sales and two years of parachute payments give them a financial advantage over rivals if they care to use it though it also needs mentioning that Steve Bruce and the Allams retained the core of the relegated squad for the clubs immediate promotion in 2016. This is looking increasingly unlikely next season when it could be new management, new squad and gates of around 10,000 except for some of the Yorkshire derbys. Let’s hope things are looking rosier by August and who knows maybe some Russian millionaire may back the club as well as the former Russia manager?
Words by Woody Mellor
sale over the past year. Is selling the club the main option or could they wind us down taking the Sky money and firesale money?
East Stand Views...
Next season will see trips to the Emirates or Old Trafford replaced by visits to Burton Albion and Millwall and unless something dramatic changes even these games could be daunting, of the team that ended the season six loanees have departed, Davies and Maguire have gone and most of the team aiming first team regulars are likely to be bought by Premier League teams. According to the media Jakupovic and Grosicki have several admirers, Robertson has been linked to Liverpool for months, Clucas atracting interest from clubs such as West Brom and Josh Tymon will probably sign a professional deal with Stoke. Added to this Elmo may join Bruce at Villa and Hernandez will try to land a deal and big wages in China. If Curtis Davies has gone then even Huddlestone and Dawson may yet depart and allegedly Watford and Burnley are linked already.

Gardening
Quick fixes for summer Even if your garden is in a state, it’s not too late to get it spruced up for summer It’s that time of year again: to swing open the back door, feel the sun against your skin… and promptly burst into tears at the sight of your garden. Monty Don’s Longmeadow this isn’t. Unloved, neglected, with a faint “communist state” air to it; if annual summer garden despair (ASGD) is upon you, you’re not alone. Luckily, there’s an enormous amount you can do quickly to transform outside space without using up your life’s savings, or precious free time, in the process. Yes, a green and fronded oasis of barbecues and drinks into the evening can be yours. And never mind that you’ve never picked up a trowel in your life. I know this because I started in much the same way, on a rented balcony beneath the Heathrow flight path. What started as a few pots of flowers rapidly became an obsession: an escape from ludicrous work hours, continual stress and a depression I’d been wrangling with my entire adult life. Because here’s the unexpected thing about tending a garden: as well as looking lovely, as well as providing a handy place for dinner with friends on a warm evening, the act of covering yourself with compost while coaxing a misbehaving brassica from the soil makes you happy. In a world where we spend eight hours and 45 minutes a day in front of a digital screen, growing something with your own two hands and watching it slowly flourish is good for the soul. Healing, even.
#courgettecrisis. A small yellow variety such as ‘Taxi’ is a great option. Little round ‘Atlas’ carrots are equally happy in a container, as is beetroot. Salad, such as rainbow chard and little gem lettuce, will be happy as a prancing pony in a pot (one plant per container if you’re using smallish terracotta ones). And don’t forget the railing of your balcony. Everything from trailing tomatoes to strawberries can be planted in hanging baskets or hook-over-the-edge planters, boosting your growing space to near-Countryfile levels. ‘I rent, so have to grow everything in containers. What can I plant now that will look good all summer?’ I’m a big fan of container planting. Easy to look after, instantly attractive and a cinch to move if they need more sun or protection. Different-sized planters grouped together give an instant “I know what I’m doing in the garden” look, too, which is a bonus. In the words of my late grandma, massive great pots can be ruinously expensive, so scour junk shops and flea markets for old chimneys, milk churns, metal tubs or – my favourite – nip round the back of your local takeaway and see if they have any empty brightly coloured oil drums by the bins. Vibrantly hued and suitably distressed, these have the brilliant attribute of looking very expensive for free. Assorted terracotta pots age beautifully and look excellent wherever you put them. But what to put in them? Start with one or two big structural plants to fill your space with colour. Hydrangea. Hosta. A perennial flowering bush such as shasta daisies. Small fruit, olive and bay trees are far less expensive than you’d think and add instant height. Then a mix of bushy herbs (a purple-leaved sage, rampant parsley or mint, say) and something suitably low-maintenance, colourful and edible, such as violas or pansies. With flowers, the more you pick, the more they grow. Deadhead regularly, and they’ll last all summer. ‘The walls and fences in my garden are ugly. What can I do to improve their appearance?’ We’ve already covered the joy of outdoor paint, but there are all sorts of other ways to spruce up your boundaries. Training climbers such as rambling rose, jasmine, honeysuckle and clematis up a dodgy wall is a
So this weekend, I’m here to solve your top gardening woes, just in time for summer. ‘I have a tiny unloved patio and want to give it a makeover without breaking the bank. Help!’ Take heart. The wonderful thing about an insultingly small garden featuring nothing but an upturned chair and a Quavers packet blown in from next door is that even the tiniest change will make a disproportionately large difference. One of the quickest and most dramatic design tricks I know is to paint fences. Colour them white and light will flood into your garden bouncing off every surface. However, we live in a golden age of exterior paint colours, where major DIY retailers will mix pigments to your specification. Go bold. Perhaps Yves Klein blue on the back wall? Stick a few big potted ferns against it, and your garden will be Instagram-ready in no time. Add a string of festoon lighting, a big colourful umbrella and a deckchair or two, and summer garden smugness will be yours. Continued Page 32
‘I want to grow my own vegetables, but have only a titchy balcony. Is there anything I can grow?’ Lack of space be damned: thanks to the miracle of pre-grown seedlings from the “grow your own” aisle at the garden centre, there’s a market stall’s worth of fruit and veg you can start growing this very weekend.
classic English garden approach, but this will take a year or so really to get going. For instant results, a ladder planter propped against a wall and filled with brimming-over plant pots will provide extra growing space as well as disguising less than perfect walls and fencing. For crumbling old walls, the tiny flowers of Mexican fleabane (Erigeron karvinskianus) or London pride (the plant, not the beer: Latin name Saxifraga x urbium) are quick-growing, crack-colonising wonders. And don’t forget good old moss, especially in shady corners. The best way to grow moss up a vertical surface is to blend it with yoghurt to a milkshake consistency and simply paint it where you want it to grow. I know. Magic.
Growing something with your own two hands is good for the soul
So there we are: ASGD cured. Your summer garden sorted in nary more than a weekend. All that remains is to pour yourself a strong cold drink to celebrate and bask in the glow of your own cleverness.
A courgette is an excellent choice for a large, deep container, providing edible flowers as well as arming you against any future
Enjoy your garden and the Summer weather.

TV and Radio’s Jenni Falconer and Hull vets support Pet Parasite Action campaign Throughout June and July hundreds of vet practices up and down the country, including Kingston Veterinary Group, Wicstun Veterinary Group and Chestnut House Veterinary Centre are backing the Pet Parasite Action campaign to encourage people to help protect their pet (and their family) against harmful parasites inside and out. The campaign is being supported by TV and Radio presenter Jenni Falconer, “As a dog owner and a mum I want to be sure I do the best thing for my pet and my family. During the Pet Parasite Action campaign I’m encouraging all pet owners to visit their vet for a simple way to help protect their pet against parasites inside and out, including those that might be harmful to rest of the family. Let’s act now to protect all the members of our family, furry or otherwise.” After conducting a nationwide survey of over 1000 dog owners, Pet Parasite Action says the findings confirm that dogs are important members of the family and most owners say that losing their pet would be devastating. The most important reason for owning a pet is to keep active but other reasons, such as non-judgemental love and an ability to give comfort, become more important across the regions.* The survey also discovered that 85 per cent of us happily hug our dogs and the majority let their dog sleep on their bed, sit on their sofa or lap, lick their faces and give them kisses. But 28 per cent said they have found parasites on carpets, 26 per cent have spotted a parasite on themselves and a shocking four per cent have even found one on their child. Despite this, over a third of people say they never think about the parasites their pet might be hosting when they hug them. When it comes to pet parasites, most dog owners don’t have an accurate view of which are the most risky to them or their family. It’s lungworm that worries owners most with 74% saying it is the pet parasite they are most concerned about, with the only exceptions being the North East where fleas were the most concerning parasite and Scotland where ticks were of equal concern.
To Contact
While 82% of dog owners are able to correctly identify that lungworm could be fatal to their pets, 43% say they think dog lungworm is the parasite that poses the greatest risk to human health, when actually it’s harmless to people. Furthermore, despite concern about its effects, 23% say that they don’t know when their pet was last treated for lungworm. This is worrying because cases of this deadly parasite are increasing, and spreading throughout the country into previously unaffected areas.1,2,3 Just 48% realise that ticks can cause fatalities in dogs because they can transmit diseases such as babesiosis. Only 28% recognise that ticks (as a transmitter of Lyme disease in people) are a risk to human health. Ticks should be a concern to pet owners because the threat from this parasite to pets and people is growing: in recent years there has been an increase in tick numbers across the UK due to changing weather patterns and an increasing population of deer, which host ticks.4,5,6 Plus a recent study showed 1 in 3 dogs is infested with ticks. The least worried about parasite is probably one of the most concerning. Just 15% say they are most worried about roundworms and a mere 7% correctly say they think it could threaten human health. Yet, if accidentally eaten, eggs from the roundworm Toxocara pose a significant threat to human health, potentially causing blindness or neurological disease – especially in children. One in four people don’t realise that their pet could have parasites but they might not be visible, as is often the case with lungworms, hard to find ticks and microscopic roundworm eggs. Around 1 in 6 say that it’s been about a year since they last treated their pet for ticks, lungworm or roundworms. The benefits of pet ownership are considerable and pet owners do not need to be alarmed. They just need to be aware of the risks of parasites and the fact that simple, regular treatment will help to reduce these risks for all. During the Pet Parasite Action campaign throughout June and July, dog and cat owners in and around Hull can contact Kingston Veterinary Group, Wicstun Veterinary Group, Norwood and Chestnut House Veterinary Centre for advice on protecting their pet against parasites inside and out. More information about pet parasites is also available from the Pet Parasite Action website www.petparasiteaction.co.uk.

Is aftersun really necessary? For those of us who have ever returned from a siesta on the beach, a splash in the sea or just an unexpectedly sunny lunch-hour stroll, the feeling of “hot” skin – red raw, tight and warm to the touch – is all too common. Over-exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays causes inflamed capillaries and skin damage; symptoms of the dreaded sunburn. Normally we’d reach for an aftersun formula to minimise long-term damage and shorten the after-effects, but is this what they actually do? Typically it takes two to six hours for sunburn to rear its angry head, and the effects can worsen in the 24 hours following. “Owing to the time delay in noticeable symptoms, many people get out of the sun too late to stop the damage from occurring”” warns Dr Dominik Göddertz, Nivea’s global product developer. Once you get in from the sun, the first course of action should be a cool bath (not a shower, as the impact of the water may cause further pain) with a few teaspoons of almond oil added for its skinsoothing and hydrating properties. Once the skin has been cooled and hydrated, the inflammatory proteins released from the burn will retreat. Next, slather on an aftersun, as liberally as you would (read: should) apply your sun cream. “Whether you opt for a light cream or gel formula, the biggest benefit from aftersun is its high water content which cools and hydrates,” says Candice Gardner, education curriculum manager at Dermalogica. “The second benefit, which may not be present in every formula but is worth looking out for, is the healing properties of plant extracts, such as aloe, which desensitise and reduce redness.” Wondering why you can’t use a thick aloe-based moisturiser in that case? Heavy creams contain high levels of oil, creating a barrier over your skin, trapping the heat and causing prolonged pain, redness and sensitivity. “Aftersun-specific products are created to refresh, hydrate and soothe the skin only, and won’t create a barrier,” says Dr Göddertz. Instead they create a “cream bandage”, keeping the area underneath protected and hydrated. You’d be mistaken for thinking then that a great aftersun was key to the short-term “healthy tan” we so often strive for. Think again. “Aftersun doesn’t make sitting in the sun any less dangerous. It can’t replace sun lotion and won’t be able to ‘fix’ sun damage, either,” says Dr Göddertz. This is because sunburn is DNA damage, and once it has taken place, it can’t be totally repaired. “You can, however, try to increase the DNA damage removal and repair, and try to make the skin look and feel better, which is most people’s primary concern,” says Dr Harold Lancer, celebrity dermatologist and founder of Lancer Skincare. This is where aftersun comes in handy. “The longer the heat from sunburnt skin is ignored, the longer the inflammatory proteins from it create a greater depth of damage to the skin layers, so the use of aftersun is completely valid.” Since most aftersun products only fight the symptoms of sunburn, and won’t provide any long-term aid to skin, it goes without saying that the only way to avoid the need for aftersun altogether
is to steer clear of the sun from 11am to 3pm, in the UK as well as abroad. Sun-damaged skin “remembers” being burnt, and is more susceptible to being burnt again. When the sun is at its highest, your nose, shoulders, lips and forehead will be most vulnerable as they protrude. Opt for a sun hat with a wide brim and reapply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 to these areas most often so as not to exacerbate the drying effects. Choose sunglasses in a wraparound style or with thick arms and with a polarised lens to keep your sensitive eye area safe.

But……..
take legal advice throughout, including on the terms of any settlement and make sure that it is legally binding the end.

THE LAST WORD
FIONA’S FOOD FOR THOUGHT
By Fiona Dwyer, broadcast journalist, PR & media consultant, slave to 2 children and a husband. Getting a bit fitter Talking about my birthday, this year I received a Fitbit. I always thought they were a bit of a gimmick, but let me tell you it is changing the way I look at everything. I am checking the number of steps I do every day and inputting whatever I eat … and because I don’t want to have to tell it I’ve eaten a cake or a few chocolate biscuits, I’m eating much better! It’s even monitoring how long I sleep and what type of sleep I’m having. It’s basically making me really think before I do something, which I guess is the point! And I’ve set myself a sensible weight loss goal!! I’ll let you know how it goes!
Hull’s Bee Lady Challenge I was lucky enough to meet Jean Bishop, known to us all as the Bee Lady, as she turned 95 years old in May. In fact we share the same birthday!! As you know she has collected thousands of pounds for charity over the years and this year is no different except that she has issued herself a challenge. As its her 95th year, she wants to raise £95,000 this year alone! She doesn’t think she does anything special but I think with the number of awards she’s received it’s obvious we all think differently! So if you see her around in her bee costume, don’t forget to put a couple of pounds in to help her reach her amazing goal! Truly inspirational!
Just wondering ….. As we all know, Whitefriargate in Hull City Centre is pronounced locally as Whitefr’gate. Now on the road towards the C4Di building, there is also a road called Blackfriargate. Is this pronounced as it is written or should it be Blackfr’gate? I’ve asked a few people and no-one seems to know, so I’d be interested to hear what you think! Thanks!
