COCONUT WATER
One of the things that the pandemic has shown us is that virtual events are ok, but you can’t beat a live event and we’ve just confirmed our 1st live event for 2021 which is going the be our Light for a Life. We are so happy that finally we’re able to do a live event. This event will take place on the 5th December at the Hi-Tide, Porthcawl from 4pm. We love this event as it’s where we can remember our loved ones and include them in Christmas. For those of you who don’t know this event it’s where we have Father Christmas bringing presents for the kids, there’s Christmas carols sung, there’s usually hot food too. There’s also a raffle but the most important part of the night is where we turn on the Christmas Tree lights in honour of our loved ones. It really is a lovely night. So please get your friends and families to join us for this lovely evening. It’s free to join us we just ask that you get involved in the raffle or do a donation for your loved ones. Please do keep an eye out on our social media platforms, Facebook, and Instagram for event updates. You can also find this event advertised with The HiTide. Nicky, Emma & Cath Trustees
Coconuts grow in tropical climates on trees scientifically known as Cocos nucifera, and are botanically considered a fruit. Coconut water is the liquid found in the center of a young, green coconut. It helps nourish the fruit. As the coconut matures, which takes around 10–12 months, some of the liquid remains while the rest ripens into the solid white flesh known as coconut meat. Coconut water typically comes from young coconuts about 6–7 months of age, though it’s also found in mature fruit. Coconut water contains 94% water and very little fat. It should not be confused with coconut milk, which is made by adding water to grated coconut meat. Coconut milk contains about 50% water and is quite high in fat. Carbs: 15 grams, Sugar: 8 grams, Calcium: 4% of the daily value (DV), Magnesium: 4% of the DV, Phosphorus: 2% of the DV, Potassium: 15% of the DV. Coconut water contains antioxidants that have shown to be beneficial in research involving rats and mice, but human studies are lacking. Studies on animals with diabetes suggest that coconut water may improve blood sugar control, but more research involving humans needs to be done.

FINDING SPACE Regular articles appear about de-cluttering our lives. Somehow by having a tidier home, garage or shed our lives will be improved. Indeed successful businesses have been built from supplying perfect shelves, cupboards and storage boxes from bespoke merchants to pound shops. How often do we turn our attention to noticing how much clutter we have stored in our own minds? Me! My head is not full of such stuff, my brain takes care of that when I go to sleep and reorders it logically so I can find it again easily. Maybe true, but also nestling there are the old embarrassing memories, irritations, failures and defeats, you know the ones, that you would rather forget, but they pop into your mind when you are drifting off to sleep or relaxing running on an interminable loop that you can’t break. Next time this happens, take notice of the thought, how it makes you feel, maybe sad, angry or annoyed, where you can feel it, throat, chest and belly. Acknowledge the sensation and slowly take a deep breath into the area and gently let it go. Try this three times and notice how you feel. We can’t go into the past to change it, but we can choose to live in the present. Margaret Brown
