HEALTH
Natural remedies TAKE INSPIRATION FROM FLORA AND FAUNA... THE OUTDOORS COULD BE THE KEY TO HEALTH AND HAPPINESS. BY FRANCESCA DOCKER. magine you’re in your garden. The trees are patterned with an array of vibrant leaves, the birds are singing sweetly and the sun is beaming down. Life feels great. And while you’re there, why not take advantage of all the remedies nature has to offer? You’ll be surprised at the number of common plants and vegetables that can help with a multitude of issues to help you feel mentally and physically healthier.
I
Lavender Tired of being tired? Lavender could be the flower for you. Studies from the University of Southampton have shown that people who sleep with lavender on their pillows have 20 per cent better sleep on average than those who do not.
Sage Around half of this plant is made up of vitamin K. Although this vitamin doesn’t get much press, it is actually rather useful, helping to prevent cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and diabetes.
Honey Honey is the bee’s knees of natural remedies. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins, it really can be used for everything from lowering your chance of getting heart disease to promoting wound and burn healing. It has even been said that local honey reduces the effects of hayfever.
Garlic Got an insect bite that’s really bugging you? Rub some garlic on there. Garlic has impressive antibacterial properties, giving it the nickname the Russian penicillin, as well as having the ability to reduce your risk of getting heart disease. Just be aware that it may reduce the number of people who wish to be around you too. >>>
Lavender could help you sleep better Image | www.imagemagazine.co.uk 13
HEALTH
Strawberries There’s nothing quite like having a British grown strawberry. These sweet little gems are packed with vitamins and help with digestion and teeth whitening. However, it’s not just the fruit itself that can benefit you, it’s the leaves as well. Try a cup of strawberry leaf tea to alleviate your upset stomach or reduce nausea.
Broad beans For any avid gardeners out there, your watering and hard work with these plants has paid off. These legumes have been proven to alleviate effects of Parkinson’s disease, balance your body fluids and aid weight loss.
Mint leaves This refreshing, expressive herb is something we simply cannot live without. Mint has the ability to treat headaches and nausea, and improve your dental and skin health.
Basil If you’re prone to headaches, instead of reaching for the paracetamol, try a basil-infused facial steam instead. Just heat a pan of boiling water, add the basil leaves, breathe in the steam and feel the relief.
Rosemary Not just a garnish for your Sunday roast, rosemary is an anti-inflammatory and antitumour agent. It can help to prevent brain damage and has been approved by Germany’s Commission E to treat indigestion.
Lettuce
Nettles
Make sure you make plenty of salads this summer. This staple salad leaf reduces your risk of Alzheimer’s, due to its role in glucose/serum deprivation, which stops the breakdown of neurones in your body.
Although they may look a little vicious on the outside, they can help you significantly on the in. Drink a mug of nettle tea to relieve congestion or soak your joints in a bath full to ease rheumatism.
Apples
Pine oil
Keep the doctor away in your summer break. Vitamin B complex, found in apples, aids red blood cells and helps with your nervous system.
If you’ve got some woods near you, then you could try making some pine oil.
Tomatoes Have your own La Tomatina this summer. Tomatoes prevent night blindness and are a powerful antioxidant as well as tasting delicious – whether you add them to soups, pasta dishes or just by themselves.
Carrots The old wives tale about carrots helping you see in the dark is surprisingly accurate. Carrots contain vitamin A, which aids the production of rhodopsin, found in the retina of your eye and allowing you to see. So as the evenings draw in, make sure you have a bit of this in your summer salads.
14 Image | www.imagemagazine.co.uk
Massage it into your skin to feel more relaxed and prevent eczema and acne, or put it on your carpet to get rid of any bad odours hanging round.
Rose oil This aromatic floral oil not only smells great, but is useful in helping to prevent respiratory problems such as pulled muscle or cramps, and can combat carcinogens known as nitrosamines, brought about by smoking.
EATING OUT
Home comforts A RELAXED DINING EXPERIENCE IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY FOR PHOEBE SEYMOUR ON HER RECENT TRIP TO ASTON HALL HOTEL. he best hotels always seem to feel like a home from home, and as I sit in Aston Hall Hotel’s Bamford Restaurant, it quickly becomes apparent that this is the kind of place I could certainly get used to. Contemporary purple and grey walls, cosy lamps and silver framed mirrors create a living room effect, while the a la carte menu steps away from intimidating fine dining, opting instead, for comfort food. As a Best Western Plus hotel, Aston Hall has the benefit of being part of an established national company, but the freedom of being an independent. Restaurant manager, Thomas McCole, has a wealth of experience in the hotel restaurant industry, and has quickly realised that guests respond better to a relaxed dining experience. Looking at the menu, it’s not as casual as their Volante Bar menu, but strikes a balance between popular classics such as surf and turf, and dishes more suited to a higher end gastropub. My partner and I selected three courses for a very reasonable £24.95. After a couple of
T
warm bread rolls, I started with the grilled asparagus served with a crispy-coated hen’s egg – perfectly runny in the middle – and a zesty saffron mayonnaise that contrasted nicely with the bitterness of the asparagus. My partner had the homemade soup of the day – an earthy, yet slightly sweet, creamy mushroom. A crunchy raft of garlic and herb croutons complemented the dish well and created a variety of flavours. For mains, my partner had the chargrilled chicken topped with a thick peppercorn sauce and served with a grilled tomato and mushroom, golden onion rings, triple cooked chips and a rocket salad – a truly British dish, which was mopped up in no time. Meanwhile, I had the puy lentil, sweet potato and coconut curry with red pepper, onion, spinach, pilaf rice and garlic naan. This aromatic curry was tangy and moreish and wouldn’t be out of place in a traditional Indian restaurant. We had been excited about dessert from the moment we arrived and were not disappointed. My hot chocolate pudding with milk and white chocolate sauce and a cool mint chocolate chip
ice cream looked delicious and tasted even better, while my partner’s coconut panna cotta with passion fruit jelly, coconut macaroon and coconut ice cream was colourful and a lighter way to round things off. Full, satisfied and relaxed, I wished we had booked a room to stay in. Still, I was glad to have had a couple of hours to fully appreciate this cosy restaurant, which makes diners feel just as welcome as hotel guests.

Fire up the barbie!
AVOID A COOK-OUT DISASTER THIS SUMMER WITH OUR GUIDE TO THE PERFECT BARBECUE. BY FRANCESCA DOCKER. very time you go outside it feels like you’re getting out of an aeroplane, blisteringly humid and warm. The sky looks like it’s a watercolour and the screams of kids whistle through the air. It’s that one-off time of the year again. It’s barbecue season.
E
Barbecues are great for getting the family around, young or old, big or small, this truly is people pleasing food. However, they can be frustrating sometimes, even to those who are very experienced in using them, so we’ve come up with a few tips and tricks to help you out at this time of year.
Charcoal Ideal for those who want a full BBQ flavour, cheaper than gas.
Hooded BBQs In order to effectively sear your food, place it on the edge of the grill and fold the hood over it. Average cooking time for sausages and burgers is five minutes, chicken thighs ten minutes and larger cuts should be in there for 20 minutes or longer.
Unhooded BBQs Put the food on the grill, and adjust the height to relieve or intensify the heat, judging by the colour or the type of food you are barbecuing.
Barbecuing over gas Ideal for those who haven’t got much time and want something that’s easily adjustable. Turn the burners up to full power until it is sufficiently warm (around 200-250°C) – this should take around five to ten minutes. Place food in the centre of the grill until it is fully browned then immediately lower the heat and close the hood (if you have one) over it.
Cleaning There are various ways to do this. It is best to clean your BBQ when it’s still a little warm to remove grease stains or oil. Have any leftover onion or beer? These can be used too. Just chop up your onion and stick it on to remove any grit or pour over some beer and wipe it down with newspaper.
TIPS: Always cook chicken and sausages in the oven first – you don’t want your guests to go down with food poisoning
Get your meat up to room temperature by taking it out an hour before you want to cook it for effective grilling
Light your barbecue well in advance so you’re not waiting round for ages for food to come out
If you have the time make your own burgers – they’re super tasty and better than shop bought ones
Don’t just stick to meat – veg and fruit can often be cooked on barbecues and can turn out to be a real crowd-pleaser
Test the meat before you eat – it may seem obvious but it can be overlooked especially if you’re in a rush
Don’t throw on cold water in an attempt to cool down hot coals, it can leave you in a bit of a pickle
And, just in case everything goes to pot, make sure your kitchen’s pots and pans are up to scratch for last minute emergencies

Still struggling to find a dish for your vegetarian friends? Have a go at this from www.wishfulchef.com
A relatively easy, tasty marinade which’ll get your tastebuds tingling for more. From www.addapinch.com
Ingredients
Ingredients
Olive oil 4 thick slices of aubergine 1/2 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp garlic powder 2 tsp oregano 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 2 hamburger buns Lettuce leaves Red onion slices Hummus Tomato slices
120ml olive oil 1 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 1/2 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 2 cloves garlic, chopped 3 tablespoons onion, chopped 64g fresh parsley, chopped 350ml beer
Method
1. Sprinkle the aubergine slices with salt and let them stand for 30 minutes, then pat dry. 2. In a small bowl, stir together about two tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Brush each side of the aubergine slices. Heat a pan or BBQ grill and cook each slice for 3-4 minutes per side. 3. Toast or grill the buns. Top the bottom buns with lettuce, onion slices and aubergine, then spread desired amount of hummus. Top with another eggplant slice, tomato slice and the top of the bun. Or use your preferred toppings, enjoy!
Method
1. Pour olive oil into a bowl and mix together with the salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Add garlic, onions, and parsley. Mix together well with a fork. Slowly add beer as it will cause the mixture to foam and bubble slightly. 2. Pour the marinade over the chicken in a zip top bag. Remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal. Turn the bag from side to side to make sure all the chicken has been coated with the marinade. 3. Place the bag flat on a small, rimmed kitchen sheet and refrigerate. Allow to sit for up to one hour or overnight for best results, turning the bag over every few hours to keep the chicken coated.

CHARITY
Help when you need it FROM A FOOD BANK TO SUPPORT GROUPS, NEW HOPE COMMUNITY CHURCH IN HALFWAY PROVIDES AID IN TIMES OF CRISIS. n recent years, a multitude of community-based initiatives have emerged in response to the growing demand for emergency food aid across the UK. These charitable ventures are an increasingly familiar feature of society and have come to be an indispensable part of efforts to reduce hunger in a country where an estimated 8.4 million people are living in food insecure households. One such organisation is New Hope Community Church in Halfway, an alliance tackling food poverty and social isolation, which campaigns to deliver “God’s provision in times of crisis”. Staffed largely by volunteers, New Hope distribute an average of 25,000 food parcels each year, providing those in crisis – within a six-mile radius – with three meals a day, per family member. “Non-perishable, in-date food is donated by the public at a range of local institutions, such as schools and churches, as well as supermarket collection points,” says food bank coordinator, Michelle. “It is then sorted into emergency food parcels by our volunteers to be given to those
I
in need; who are referred to receive a parcel of seven days’ nutritionally balanced food.” But New Hope recognise that helping those in crisis is about more than nutrition, which is why they provide a range of befriending and mental health services, like debt and money management advice and CV masterclasses, to help break the cycle of poverty. Volunteers provide a listening ear and signpost organisations who can help resolve the underlying cause of crisis; such as GROW, a mental health movement which helps people who have suffered, or are suffering from, mental health problems. “GROW is a non-judgmental listening space and the principal strength of this group – held on a Wednesday evening – is the support members give each other from their own experiences,” says volunteer and befriender Kirsty. “Support groups are a helpful tool to aid recovery and by sharing experiences in a confidential setting, you gain hope and develop supportive relationships.” The New Hope Furniture Project helps families and individuals achieve a better

You’ll receive a warm welcome every time you pop in, whether you’re buying, browsing or donating, and there’s also a chance to grab a bargain in the charity shop. The coffee is beautifully smooth, balanced and well flavoured, and the food is incredibly tasty. The cakes are excellent too; rich and creamy with a good healthy head of frosting.

MUSIC
Cue the music DRONFEST IS BACK AND IT’S BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE. ack for its 19th year is DronFest – a charity music festival with a brilliant line up and a huge heart. Taking place this year on Saturday 4 August at Cliffe Park in Dronfield, the event will feature some of the biggest names in the Yorkshire music scene including Gypsyflavoured ska band Mr Tea and the Minions, eclectic rock band Ezio and ska and reggae brass band Jungle Lion. All three acts are no strangers to playing to big crowds on the festival circuit. With cheeky and danceable Balkan beats, Mr Tea and the Minions are a sure-fire party starter, who played a whopping 25 festivals last summer including Glastonbury, Boomtown, WOMAD, Secret Garden Party, Belladrum, Bearded Theory, Nozstock, and Goulash Disko (Croatia), to name just a few.
B
Jungle Lion
Ezio
Ezio’s music can range from highly rhythmical, almost manic, Latin Mr Tea and the Minions rock to delicate dreamy ballads that are heartbreakingly honest and deeply poetic. Over the past 20 years, they have released a succession of albums all over the world on a variety of major and independent labels. They have toured constantly throughout Europe, having probably played your own town hall, together with the pub on your corner, and are equally at home in both. Jungle Lion are a 12-piece, based in Sheffield and boasting six horns and five vocalists, who always get the crowd moving.
With the kind of sound and stage presence that's all too rare these days, they play a wide range of material, from popular classics by artists like The Specials, Bob Marley, Madness and Bad Manners, to hidden gems and heavily customised obscurities. Other local up-and-coming talent taking to the stage include Liberty Ship, Doomsday Outlaw, Rib Eye, Johnny & the Moondogs, Henderson, The Sheffield Sick Note, Katie Bosworth featuring Cary Baylis, Jacob Cook, Badlands and many more. See the DronFest website to find out more about this year’s amazing acts.

MEET THE HEAD
Full of pride SEEING HAPPY, POSITIVE AND ENTHUSIASTIC CHILDREN IS ALL IN A DAY’S WORK FOR WESTBOURNE JUNIOR SCHOOL HEAD, JONATHON CLARK. r Jonathon Clark is head of Westbourne Junior School. He was delighted to re-join Westbourne in Easter 2018, after having previously taught at Westbourne for ten years. “As a Year 6 form tutor, the daily interaction with our pupils is at the core of what I do and enjoy best about my role,” says Jonathon. “It’s rewarding to come to work every morning and see the children happy, positive and wanting to learn. Seeing children from our academically non-selective cohort fulfil and often surpass their individual learning targets, makes me feel especially proud.” Meeting and sharing the Westbourne community with prospective parents and pupils, weekly meetings with curriculum coordinators, and fortnightly meetings with the development team are all part of Jonathon’s role. Forest schools and outdoor learning are areas that he is excited to further cultivate, ensuring that all Junior School children learn, develop and thrive, displaying perseverance
M
and resilience, in a healthy, positive and balanced school community environment. “We are continuing with a number of new initiatives to support children in their development such as mindfulness, yoga and philosophy. We ensure that all children have access to a broad and balanced curriculum where subjects such as music, art, drama, design technology and sport are valued. This develops their confidence and motivation. “Having regular opportunities to think creatively and critically has ensured that our exam results in Junior School continue to improve. I am proud of our close link to Westbourne Senior School as this ensures that our Junior School children enjoy a seamless transition to Year 7.” Westbourne is the only co-educational independent school in Sheffield offering firstclass education for girls and boys from the age of three to 16. It focuses on individualised learning, offering every child the opportunity to excel and to be the best that they can be. In
addition, it offers a bespoke academic Scholarship Class, which delivers some of the best teaching, learning and results. Westbourne has been voted “Top School in Sheffield” and “7th Nationwide” by the Sunday Times School Guide 2018 (of top fee paying schools with small or no sixth forms).

Before you set off, or go online, make a no-negotiation list to ensure you don’t end up with piles of things you don’t need or want, just for the sake of the bargain. If you’re really organised you’ll already know the key items you’re hoping to bag but, if not, jot down your must-haves and put your energy into getting these first. This will also keep you focused when there are a thousand other things to distract you. Stock up on new-season trends
Fashion retailers often reduce the trendiest items the most, along with anything they didn’t get rid of in the January sales. This is often where the best buys can be had. Do your homework on key looks before you 46 Image | www.imagemagazine.com
head out and you could save a fortune on pieces that will still be on-trend in months to come.
decide which items you definitely want. Just be sure to choose wisely and then return within the allotted time – yes, even if you like absolutely everything.
Time it right
Go either super early or at the very last minute. If there’s something you’ve had your eye on all year that is likely to be reduced, get in there as soon as you can before it’s snapped up. Alternatively, if you’re less bothered about the specifics – for example, if you’d like a new TV but don’t mind which one – leaving it until the last possible opportunity will probably get you a bigger discount as prices are slashed further towards the end of the sale. Check the return policy
Big discounts tap into the most basic element of sales – urgency. The fear of missing out by not buying then and there is overwhelming but often leads to impulsive buying. The key here is to utilise the store’s return’s policy. Many shops allow you to return sales stock, even if it’s within fewer days than usual, so you can grab as much as you like and then try it all on at home when you’re more relaxed and can
Do your research
The beauty of the internet is that, before you even step foot outside your front door, you can go online to check the best prices. Not only will you be able to identify which shops are offering the best deals, but if you note down how much you can find something for online, you’ll also make sure you don’t pay over the odds in store. Set a budget
It’s easy to get giddy at the sight of a 50per-cent-off ticket, but if it’s more than you were intending to spend, you won’t feel the full benefit. Keep a budget for each item in mind and stick to it. Invest wisely
Higher quality items last far longer so, although you’re initially spending more, the Higher quality items last far longer so, although you’re initially spending more, the cost-per-wear should even out in time.

The go-to garage
AS A DEDICATED BOSCH CAR SERVICE CENTRE, J P AUTOTECHNICS PROVIDE THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF CARE. ot only is J P Autotechnics the go-to garage for car owners, they’re a reputable and trusted diagnostics centre for dealerships and lease companies all over South Yorkshire too. Owner and director, John Hewett, set up J P Autotechnics in 1984, and the business has rapidly gone from strength to strength. What started out as a one-man car service business out of John’s own home, has grown into a six-strong team working in a spacious, stateof-the-art garage, offering a wide range of services. Now a Bosch and Unipart car care centre, J P Autotechnics is based in Aughton. The centre has been at its current location since 1990 and is within easy reach of Chesterfield and Sheffield. It has been a dedicated Bosch car service centre for seven years, meaning it is one of very few places that specialises in using Bosch technology, providing your car with the highest standard of care. The main services they provide are diagnostics and tuning work, as well as MOTs, fuel injections, air con maintenance,

repairs and a range of tyre services. John and his team work on all makes and models, from vans to performance car brands such as BMW, Mercedes and Audi. Their 750brake horsepower Hofmann Dynamometer is programmable to simulate any kind of journey, so they can detect and fix any issues without even leaving the centre. Their Hofmann Tyre Changer fits tyres with up to 26-inch rims, while puncture repairs and four-wheel alignments complete their range of tyre services. What’s more, they are dealers of the Weber carburettor – an established Italian brand. The J P Autotechnics team are always ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest car servicing technology. In fact, when the team first started doing air con repairs over 20 years ago, most people didn’t even know what they were. “We’ve got the tools, the knowledge and the equipment to do pretty much everything – the only thing we don’t do is body work,” says John. “Other garages and lease companies come to us because they know we
have the technology and the training to do diagnostics properly. “Every member of the team is up to date with the latest training and we each go on about three or four courses a year. We strive to deliver the highest quality services and repairs to public and trade customers.” J P Autotechnics is a family-run business, with John’s son Josh Hewett on reception and his nephew Christopher Hewett as a Bosch Master technician, who has worked there for nearly 30 years. They are joined by fullyqualified Bosch trained technician Matt Bell, technician Joshua Ladds, and apprentice Tyler Jackson. So whether your car needs a comprehensive servicing or a minor repair, contact John and the team today or visit the J P Autotechnics website to find out more.

Premium addition
Beating the competition The BMW M5 is the pinnacle of the high performance business express; it combines German engineering, plush luxury with blistering supercar performance. This latest M5 Competition variant is no different – based on the sixth generation of the M5 Saloon first revealed last year, it comes with increased power, optimised styling and aerodynamics, changes to the chassis and tuning, and interior design updates. Power comes from a 4.4-litre biturbo V8 churning out 625hp and 750Nm of torque. Thanks to the new M5 being four-wheel-drive, 0-62mph takes 3.3 seconds. Vmax limited to 155mph with a combined economy figure of 26.9mpg. Available to order now from £96,205 with first deliveries due in September.
The new Volvo V60 premium mid-size estate is now available to order in the UK, with onthe-road prices starting at £31,810 for the D3 Momentum manual version. A choice of three 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engines is initially offered. The D3, D4 and T5 V60s are all frontwheel drive. Both diesel engines are available with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox, while the petrol comes with the eight-speed automatic as standard. The D3 offers 150hp, 64.2mpg and CO2 emissions from just 117g/km. The D4 has 190hp, 64.0mpg and CO2 emissions also from just 117g/km. The 250hp T5’s numbers are 43.7mpg and 150g/km respectively.

RACING PEDIGREE
The next level The new Mercedes AMG GT S Roadster is now available to order from £126,730. The AMG GT S is already one of the best super sportscars on the market today; by having the roof removed along with acquiring a wider and more aggressive looking body, the roadster takes things up to the next level. The roadster is powered by a 4.0-litre biturbo V8 powerplant generating 522bhp and 670Nm of torque. It can sprint from 0-62 mph in just 3.8 seconds, and has a top speed of 192 mph. It delivers up to 24.6 mpg and emits 262 g/km of CO2. The three-layer fabric roof is available in a choice of three colours at no extra cost: black, beige or red. 50 Image | www.imagemagazine.co.uk
