IIs s iitt ttime ime ffor or a p power ower shift? shift? We’ve just completed our busiest month of the year with the filing deadline for personal tax returns having passed at 31st January. There was no extension to this as part of the COVID19 support programme and we had to achieve it whilst working almost exclusively from home. The idea of making home-working arrangements a more permanent feature of working lives is a debate that will run for a while.

S Savings avings o on n rrent ent a and nd o office ffice ccosts osts Employers and employees will see different benefits and happily will agree on those that work for both parties. For employers, one of the main attractions will be the savings that they can make in rent and associated office costs. So is there an opportunity for a geographical shift in activity too? Those who know me well will tell you that I don’t have too many good words to say about the nation’s capital city, save for a small piece of footballing turf in the red part of N5. The capital has long been the ‘go to’ place for making money to the point where it’s almost a different world to the rest of the country in terms of prices, salaries, etc. That applies to rents too, so is this the perfect time for firms to abandon London and move to smaller, more affordable bases in the rest of the country?

L Less ess p pollution ollution and and an an easier easier llifestyle? ifestyle? The benefits, as we who live in Gloucestershire can vouch for, go well beyond cheaper office accommodation. Less pollution, open fields, the ability to get almost anywhere you want to go without too much grief... The list goes on and on. Office rents are as much as 75% lower than they are in the capital. Is it time for a power shift and for more people to find a Local Answer? Page 4

Give G ive your your body body an an MOT MOT With everything 2020 gave or took away from us, one thing remains the same – we are another year older and unless we take care of ourselves, growing old can be hard! A decrease in capacity can have a knock-on effect: weight gain leads to loss of self-confidence; deteriorating eyesight and hearing can lead to social isolation; lack of endurance and strength can lead to injury and reduced capacity. As 2021 ramps up, this is the ideal time to undertake an MOT on your physical and mental health and lifestyle factors to enable you to get through the year in your best shape. A good place to start is finding or re-committing to your purpose. With all the challenges and drama of life, especially at the moment, connecting with or finding your purpose has never been more important. Whether we like it or not, the world has changed – how we respond determines the quality of our lives.

P Physical hysical h health ealth In looking at our physical health, finding balance across the components of healthrelated fitness (cardiovascular, endurance, strength, flexibility, body composition) along with a nutritious diet will be key to ensuring good health. Thereafter, building in additional components based on your fitness/performance needs (agility, speed, balance, power, coordination) in a progressive manner with appropriate recovery, will enable you to achieve and maintain your peak condition or goals. The Local Answer

Mental health The mental/emotional aspect of our health is the most neglected and most difficult to manage, as it impacts our motivation and mental state, which can result in unhealthy habits or neglecting our physical fitness needs. Connecting with family and friends has become more difficult, but it is an essential human need, so ensure that you reach out in whatever (safe and legal) way you can, for your own health as well as that of others – we are in this together. A great starting point is gratitude. A daily ‘gratitude check-in’ or helping others less fortunate than you will make a huge difference to you in the long-term and to them immediately. After such a difficult year, with so much uncertainty of the year ahead, ensuring you are in the best possible headspace and remaining positive under the relentless pressures of modern life is critical.

L Lifestyle ifestyle ffactors actors The biggest challenge for lifestyle factors is finding things to do that don’t cost money, or whose costs are outweighed by

• Connecting with people • Spending quality time with friends and family • Developing new skills, habits and hobbies • Being open to different perspectives and learning new things by getting out of ‘echo chambers’ that fuel your beliefs or biases • Spending more time outdoors • Exercise! And finally, if you’re going to save up to do one thing this year, I recommend a sauna! There are so many benefits, including: • Boost in circulation • Supports cardiovascular health • Improves flexibility and recovery • Clearer skin • Reduces stress • Boosts immune system • Boosts collagen production • Reduces inflammation Like anything that has physiological effects, please consult your GP before hopping into a sauna.

Handling Handling family family conflict conflict Have you ever put your foot in it really badly with one of your adult kids and fell into a total panic about what might happen? As our children grow and mature, our relationships take on a whole new shape and structure. As they find their autonomy and their own voices, and begin to live lives of their own, it can become perilously difficult to navigate the new people they are becoming. Confession time: I recently upset my daughter, aged 20, and for a short while I was mortified with fear that it could result in a long silence, separation, and a split in the family. Sadly this is my own family history and I have a great fear of it repeating with the next generation. The misunderstanding arose because of my muddled words, poor timing, her self-consciousness and the surrounding stress levels of multiple changes occurring in her own world. The Local Answer

What did I do to repair the damage? Firstly, I respected her need to leave abruptly. Respecting her space was important, although scary. Next I called her, but of course she did not pick up – who would when they are hurting and feel horrible? So I messaged her and offered a full and clear explanation of what I said, why and what was intended. And I said sorry for the hurt caused.

Don’t D on’t make make excuses, excuses, b belittle elittle o orr sshame hame What I did not do was make excuses, attack, belittle, shame or otherwise try to shift my discomfort onto her. I had to take full responsibility for what I said, albeit a misunderstanding, and honour her pain, no matter how uncomfortable that was for me. Blessedly she responded within an hour to acknowledge what I had said, to inform me of why she was hurt and to let To advertise call 01242 510500

me know we were ok. Phew! I could breathe again! Why am I bringing this to you? Because no matter how we try, we will upset those we love from time to time – it happens. And I wanted to share my one piece of wisdom that I turn to whenever I find myself in this position: breathe, feel, allow and then respond. Do not react! Quite simply, in the moment of panic and realisation that something has happened, I turn to my breath to calm myself, allow all my feelings to flow through me, have a cry if necessary and then, and only then, will I respond to the other person’s needs; taking full responsibility for myself and allowing them all of their feelings. There is something uniquely powerful in approaching things in this way that can literally save families from imploding, and I truly hope you find this useful the next time things go a bit haywire in your home. Good Luck! Page 

Great walks on our our G reat w alks on Cotswold doorstep C otswold d oorstep Travel went by the board last year: Shetland and France didn’t happen. Switzerland? Forget it! Instead, September ’s two-week break was a series of North Cotswold day hik es within a short (top-down, of cour se) dri ve of home. Interestingly, under glorious autumn skies, delicious picnics and magnificent Cotswold vistas oft ften felt as good as being lost in France, up an alp or spotting otters on Bressay.

Revelatory Revelatory Cotswold Cotswold w walks alks Now, shortly after the lowestk ey Christmas and New Year that I can recall, those walks remind of the beauty on our door step, and the promise Cotswold paths and bridleways hold for another year if overseas travel remains less than attractive. Particularly fascinating was how our walks linked and contextualised places we already knew – and other s normally passed at speed in the car.

The Cotswold Way, near Chipping Campden

Even after 17 year s in the Cotswolds, those September walks were revelatory. It is hard picking favourites from the many routes highlighted on our dog-eared map. Guiting Wood delighted several times – and delivered enchanting deer sightings. Equally, the impressi ve Cotswold escarpment provided consistently rewarding climbs, descents and views of Elgar ’s beloved Malverns. Try Stanway or Stanton to Shenberrow Hill for a start. Or the walk past Graham Greene’s old Chipping Campden home to Dover ’s Hill and on along The Mile Dri ve to Broadway Tower, Capability Brown’s impressive escarpment-top folly.

R Reminders eminders o off ffaraway araway d destinations estinations Longborough to Bourton-onthe-Hill and back via Sezincote’s ‘India in the Cotswolds’ reminded of faraway destinations when pragmatism counselled staying in Blighty. And wherever we trekk ed, from Hawling to The Local Answer

Ilmington, it was interesting to note just how much prime Cotswold real estate is North American-owned. Which walks hold the greatest allure for (lockdown permitting) late-winter recreation? Guiting Wood is a sure bet for any season, while Ebrington to Ebrington via Foxcote House and Hidcote Manor is helpfully solid underfoot for much of the way. Each walk delighted in its own way. But if one best epitomised the rolling Cotswold landscape, it was probably heading east from Cutsdean through fields where sheep grazed peacefully and past meadows of smiling sunflowers. And then back via Jonjo O’Neill’s Jackdaw Castle stables – with the well-rated Plough Inn at Ford for journey’s end refreshment. Whether 2021 sees us heading further afield, or staying closer to home, there’s world-class walking for any season on our door step. Maybe you too will discover new corner s of the Cotswolds this year. Page 11

G Get et tto og grips rips w with ith your your borders borders If the weather is anything like it has been for the past few weeks, it is a mistake to think that you can plant things outside now unless under cloches or in a greenhouse.

P Plant lant w when hen cconditions onditions a are re m more ore ffavourable avourable I have found that being too eager is a waste of time – wait a few more weeks and plant when the conditions are more favourable, and the plants get off to a flying start. They will soon catch up with the poor struggling specimens that you couldn’t wait to pop in the cold, wet ground. Deciduous shrubs (ones with leaves that fall off in winter) which flower later in the year can be pruned now. Shrubs like the butterfly bush (Buddleia davidii), which needs a good hard prune to stop it becoming a spindly monster, and hypericums, which often get infected with rust disease, can also be pruned right back to the ground.

R emove weeds weeds ffrom rom Remove y our b orders your borders If the weather allows, get out in the borders and remove any weeds. Compost the annual weeds but dispose of things like dandelions (perennial weeds that continue growing year on year) in the garden waste collection – they compost at a much higher temperature to kill off any problem seeds. Removing weeds now will make your job so much easier later on in the season before they take hold. This is the perfect time of year to get to grips with putting stakes in your borders. You remember what happened last year (and if you were like me probably every year before that too!) when you didn’t get round to it and by the time your peonies, To advertise call 01242 510500

poppies or whatever had started flopping, it was too late?!

M Make ake ssupport upport sstructures tructures ffor or your your p plants lants Hazel or birch is the ideal thing to use for ‘pea sticks’ (not just for peas!) and now is a great time to cut it, as the sap rises and it gets a little more pliable before the leaves appear. Make different sized support structures to suit the plants, weaving and tying in with garden twine. or Things like Asters Achilleas work well with black plastic netting stretched between four stakes – it soon disappears when the plants get going and you can always add a higher level of netting later on using the same stakes. Of course, you can buy a large variety of plant supports but they can be pricey, so perhaps just buy one or two each year and make the rest. Page 21

C Create reate a h home ome w workspace orkspace So many of us are working from home now, a key interior trend emerging for 2021 is a renewed focus on the space devoted to our work lives. Whether you have the luxury of a dedicated room to work in or simply a quiet corner, follow my tips to help you create a cosy, organised and practical home office space.

1 1.. Find Find y your our p perfect erfect sspace pace Ideally your home office should be a quiet room with a pleasant view away from the hustle and bustle of family life. Maybe it’s time to think about reorganising your living space. If you’re like me with daughters now living away from home, convert that rarely used teenage bedroom into a dedicated workspace, or repurpose the dining room you never use. If you’re short on space, u t i l i s e t h o s e s m a l l o ve r l o o k e d areas – a narrow corridor, a chimney alcove, the landing, or the space under the stairs.

2 2.. The The flexible flexible option option Create a dual-purpose office/ guest room using clever furniture choices. Replace your spare Image: Swoon Editions

bed with a comfortable sofabed (my daughter’s cat relaxes on her new blue velvet sofa bed while she works). Re-purpose a dressing table – my mother-in-law used a pretty vintage writing desk as her dressing table – and pair it with a comfortable chair. Make sure it has good back support for those long Zoom calls. Be inventive – double-up a dining table as a desk during the day, or utilise the kitchen table. A friend’s daughter even uses her ironing board as a desk. Search out on-trend trestle tables for a contemporary Skandi vibe.

3 3.. T The he ccloffice loffice Storage is key to making your home office work. Ideally you need to be able to tidy away your work-related paperwork in the evenings. How do you keep your work-related clutter contained? Catch up with the latest home office trend and create your own innovative storage solution by converting a closet, wardrobe or alcove into a hidden office or The Local Answer

‘cloffice’. Fit your space with shelves – the lowest one needs to be desk height – fit a couple of doors if needed, and you have your office in a cupboard!

4 4.. Personalise Personalise your your space space You don’t have to compromise on style to create your ideal work zone at home – uplifting decor boosts your mood. Paint the walls in a colour you love, and make open shelves a mixture of treasures and goodlooking storage. I particularly love storage boxes covered in marbled paper. Provide creative inspiration with favourite pictures, and cosy up with a rug.

Add Add some some fun fun desk desk accessories accessories Invest in that forever desk, add photos and an amazing desk lamp, fun pots for pens and beautiful stationary – check out papier.com for some lovely designs. Now you can make your home workspace a stylish and joyful place to be, somewhere you enjoy spending your time and are happy to work. Page 2

How How to to be be more more sustainable sustainable in in a small small space space It can often feel impossible to live a more sustainable life in a small space – a flat without a garden for example. It seems to be the long off dream for many to have a smallholding with a vegetable patch and a few chickens scratching around one day in the future, but this isn’t the reality for most people. It’s true that trying to live sustainably in a smaller space can have more challenges, but it is possible to have small scale degrees of self-sufficiency just about anywhere. Here are just a few ideas:

1.. P 1 Plant lant h herbs erbs iin np pots ots This is a great way to ‘grow your own’ on a small scale. You can also have tomatoes in window boxes or, if you have a balcony or yard, you can make a vertical pallet planter. Check Pinterest for ideas for growing things in small spaces.

2.. L 2 Lighting ighting Change your lighting to LED bulbs if you haven’t already –

they can last up to 50 times longer than regular bulbs and are made without using any hazardous materials or chemicals.

3. D 3. Don’t on’t leave leave devices devices on o n sstandby tandby This is often forgotten about in our busy lives, but if we all turn our many devices off when they’re not in use, we can save a huge amount of energy. TVs, computers, phones, tablets, stereos, coffee machines – have a little look around your home and see how many things you spot with little lights on waiting for use.

4.. E 4 Energy nergy Switch to an eco-friendly energy provider. It’s not always possible to put solar panels or heat pumps into your own property, especially if you are renting, but there are a few energy providers across the UK who use only renewable energy sources. Thankfully, more and more companies are catching on to this and hopefully the choice will be greater soon.

Walk or cycle as much as possible. Don’t jump in your car if you’re only popping down the road to the shop – short trips in a car are bad for the environment, so walking or dusting off your bike is much more eco-friendly.

5.. M 5 Meal eal p plan lan

8. 8. Tackle Tackle draughts draughts

This is the best way to avoid food waste and also saves all those last-minute panics about ‘what to cook’ at 5pm when e v e r y o n e i s h u n g r y an d r a t t y ! It will also help you to cut down on ready meals and those plastic cartons, as you won’t be caught out as often.

If it’s not an option to switch out your windows and doors to double glazed windows and new, tightly fitting doors, get some heavy, thermal lined curtains to cover them and make (or buy) a good draught excluder for the bottom of doors.

6.. B 6 Batch atch cook cook This is an extension of the above. When you make meals, The Local Answer

make several extra portions to put into the freezer. This saves energy in cooking the food, and also waste if you end up cooking a bit too much for one day’s meal.
