Freya North’s Top 4 Romantic Reads for Valentines
Author of 10 bestselling novels and winner of the Romantic Novel of the Year, Freya’s 11th novel, Chances, is published on March 31st
Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte is undoubtedly the most devastatingly romantic book ever written (Jane and Rochester literally go through fire for love). I read somewhere that you won’t understand true love until you’ve read this book! For my Valentine’s selection, I have chosen personal favourites which have plenty to say about That Thing Called Love. For me, a great love story is one in which we recognize our own hopes and dreams – and also the trials and tribulations we may have experienced. But all good romances must have that fairy-tale element which takes us out of the drudge of our everyday lives and puts into print the happy-everafters to which we all aspire… Jessica Adams | I’m A Believer | Black Swan £6.99 This is a book about love after death and life after love. It is jaunty and quite comic – but also very sensitively told. Mark Buckle, a scientist and bit of a sceptic, loses his girlfriend Catherine in a car crash. Soon enough, and initially much to his disbelief and displeasure, she ‘appears’ to him. Catherine becomes instrumental in helping Mark heal, move on and continue with his life. Have tissues close to hand! If you love the movie “Ghost”, you’ll adore this book. Maggie O Farrell | After You’d Gone Headline Review £7.99 How I sobbed in this book. Alice is such a lovely character; I wanted to be her, to befriend her, to mother her. And I fell a little bit in love with John. This novel is beautifully written. The intensity and emotional punch of Alice and John’s love story is that it is told in retrospect – and though their tale is compellingly romantic, for the reader there is this constant, dreadful inkling of the tragedy they’ve experienced.

John O Farrell The Best A Man Can Get Black Swan £8.99
With O’Farrell’s trademark sardonic wit and observational humour, this book is essentially a reflective and tender tale of one man shaking off the last vestiges of being blokish to become a good husband and father. Michael has a perfectly nice home, child, baby and pregnant wife but of course doesn’t realise their worth until he’s about to lose them. Initially, “just being tucked up warm and cosy” is what Michael resists most. By the end of the novel, he embraces it as the best thing known to man.
Mary Wesley Not that Sort of Girl Vintage £8.99 This book inspired me to write. I love the way that Mary Wesley marries gentle romance with quite surprising sexiness in all her novels – but here in particular. Rose marries Ned and is extremely loyal to him whilst also carrying on a rampant relationship with the rather louche but wonderful Milo. And, being a tough cookie, she manages to keep this happy balance for over half a century. This novel is both feisty yet romantic at heart – it is not about duplicity, it is about dual constancy.
World Book Day 2011 World Book Day was designated by UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organiza tion) as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and is marked in over 100 countries around the globe. The origins of the day we now celebrate in the UK and Ireland come from Catalonia where roses and books were given as gifts to loved ones on St. George’s Day – a tradition started over 90 years ago. Most other countries hold World Book Day on 23rd April every year , but the initiative is so well established in schools in the UK and so coincides with term time to really make the most of the opportunity to celebrate books and reading. World Book Day is a partnership of publishers, booksellers and interested parties who work together to promote books and reading for the personal enrichment and enjoyment of all. Thanks to the generosity of National Book Tokens Ltd and numerous participating booksellers, school children are entitled to receive a World Book Day £1 Book. The Book Token can typically be exchanged for one of the six specially published World Book Day £1 Books (where stocked and while stocks last), or is redeemable against any book or audio book of your choice at a participating bookshop or book club. World Book Day 2011 in the UK and Ireland will take place on Thursday 3rd March.

The beginning In 1981, Cambridge University academic Peter Laslett hosted a conference in Cambridge to discuss the possibility of bringing the U3A to Britain. The conference attracted the social entrepreneur Michael Young, whose many initiatives include the Consumers Association and the Open University. It also produced an invitation from the BBC for Eric Midwinter, director of the Centre for Policy on Ageing, to be interviewed on the radio programme You and Yours on July 22 1981. That short interview was the first chance anyone outside a small circle of educationalists had to hear about the U3A, and it brought an avalanche of 400 letters. Bourne U3A is a self-help, self-funding local group which buys in very little and provides and produces almost everything from within its own resources. Each Group is self financing except for a new Group’s inaugural meeting and for the Entertainment put on by members for members at Christmas. Bourne U3A was parented as an
off-shoot of the Stamford Branch in year 2000. Membership grew quickly and had grown to over 120 by 2003 and currently has over 360 members. The group has one main meeting each month at Bourne’s Corn Exchange with a speaker or entertainer followed by coffee, tea and biscuits and a chance to chat and read the information boards which show the very latest Branch and Group activities. All this for a £2 entrance fee. Once a month a drop-in coffee morning takes place at Wake House. The Groups cover such topics as Watercolour Painting, Reading, History, Antiques, Family History, Tai Chi, Aviation History, Discussion, Theatre Attending, Wine Appreciation and Handicrafts
As always, new and prospective members are urged to attend U3A coffee mornings as they are the ideal occasions during which to meet the Executive Committee on a one-toone basis, a facility not always possible in the hustle and bustle of our Monday meetings at the Corn Exchange. As we begin the New Year, members are drawn into considering whether they would be prepared to stand for office in the running of Bourne U3A. The Branch is run by members for members. The 2011 AGM is in May at which most of the current Executive Committee will be standing down, having “had-their-turn” over the past few years. There is therefore plenty of room for “New Blood”.

Saint Valentine’s Day By Megan Templeman
Valentine’s Day is a day that the month of February is renowned for. We all know and love (or not in some cases) the traditions which bring everything pink, romantic and sweet to the world for just one day. But where did it all start, I hear you ask? Apart from the commercialised celebration that we are all used to today, it has another, deeper meaning and origin. The real meaning of Valentines Day is slightly obscured due to the fact that three Saint Valentines are said to have been martyred on the 14th February, so essentially it could be due to any of the three. There are two slightly alternating
20
February 2011 | Email: info@scenepublishing.co.uk
versions of the Biblical story also, a Protestant version and a Catholic version, although the main stories in both are the same. Legend has it that Saint Valentine was a bishop that secretly held marriage ceremonies in about 270 AD because the emperor Claudius II had banned them. The Emperor needed soldiers for his army, and believed that married men were less likely to want to become a soldier because they would want to stay with their wives rather than fight; he thought that married young men were weak, and he needed strong men to fight for him.
Valentine saw this injustice and didn’t agree with the Emperor’s idea at all; he believed that young lovers should be allowed to marry freely. He united young lovers in secret places, allowing them to be together in love. However, he was soon found out and sent to jail. His jailor, Asterius, is said to have had a blind daughter that Valentine was able to heal due to his saintly powers. He grew very close to Asterius’ daughter whilst awaiting his sentence, and is believed to have fallen in love with her. Therefore just before he was executed on 14th February 27 AD, he left her a note signed ‘From your Valentine’, hence the reason that we send cards bearing this message on Valentine’s Day.Valentine’s Day is associated with love and romance due to the fact that Saint Valentine helped young lovers to be together and allowed their love to blossom. Although other stories do exist and this could simply just be a myth, I think this is most believable, and a nice way to think of Valentine’s Day this February. So now you know, and when you write your Valentine’s card this year you will no longer be left wondering how it all came about.

Bourne: A Town of Historical Wonders By Clare Stubbs
In the county of Lincolnshire there are numerous towns that have one or more major historical features, and Bourne (situated between Stamford and Peterborough) is no exception. Twinned with Doudeville, Normandy since 1989, this relatively small market town has quite an extensive history that includes several large and devastating fires that were recorded in the 17th and 20th centuries, the corn riot of 1740 and an outbreak of deadly smallpox in 1893. Apart from the history in the area, there are many famous names linked with the
town, such as racing driver Raymond Mays, William Cecil the 1st Lord Burghley and Robert Manning (also known as Robert de Brunne) who was a well known priest at Bourne Abbey. Today, the Robert Manning Technology College is named in his memory. To this date, there are plenty of landmarks which still stand and most have true historical significance that locals and visitors alike can appreciate, especially when it comes to the stories behind a few of Bourne’s treasures.
Baldock’s Mill
A Heritage Centre stands on the site,

The origins of the Grade II listed Red Hall are said to date back to the 17th century (believed to have been built between 1600 and 1620); making it is one of Bourne’s oldest surviving landmarks. The architect that designed the building is unknown but it has long been suggested that this may have been John Thorpe and that the house was constructed for a successful businessman, Gilbert Fisher. After Fisher’s death, the house was to have a number of different tenants and owners and it was from 1860 up to 1959 that the Red Hall served as the railway booking office, waiting room and house for the stationmaster. On no less than two separate occasions the building had been earmarked for demolition, once in 1892 and again in the 1960’s after the railway closed in 1959. However, a public petition, articles and letters to various newspapers prevented this from happening. In 1962, the Red Hall, located on South Street, was taken over by Bourne United Charities who worked for the next decade restoring the building to a high standard. 1972 marked the re-opening and today, it is used as offices by the charity.
In 1086, it was recorded in the Domesday Book that there were a total of six different mills in Bourne at the time but it is only Baldock’s Mill in South Street which has managed to survive the test of time and can still be seen in its entirety. This Grade II listed building was first constructed in 1800 and can be found at 21 South Street. Although it is no longer a working mill (this has been the case since around 1924), it continues to provide information of historical value and interest to visitors.
The Red Hall
The Burghley Arms
which is owned by Bourne United Charities and one of a few exhibits that everyone can enjoy includes a tribute to racing driver Raymond Mays who was born in the town.
The Burghley Arms, in the centre of the town, has acted as a hostelry since 1717 but it was in 1520 that the 1st Lord Burghley William Cecil, who loyally served as an adviser to Elizabeth I was born in a house on the site when the pub now stands. A plaque is clearly displayed, so as to mark this historic event. For a brief period of time the pub was known as the Bull and Swan and until 1955, it was The Bull Hotel and it was during this time that Australian poet and author, Frederic Manning stayed at the hotel and completed his critically acclaimed novel, The Middle Parts of Fortune Manning’s love of the town was forever Telephone: 01780 783613 | February 2011

Health & Beauty Do’s and Don’ts Skin brush morning and night for 5 minutes! This will increase your circulation and exfoliate your skin making it appear brighter and feel smoother. Use light sweeping motions towards the heart for best results. Don’t use face wipes! Using a face wipe can cause the skin to age dramatically especially around the eye area. The way you use them to scrub at your face to remove your make up pulls the skin too much and around the eye area can cause broken capillaries if too much pressure is applied. Use an eye cream if nothing else! Eyes are the biggest giveaway when it comes to telling your age, and they can often make you appear older than you actually are, which is not what anybody wants.

New Year......New You?....OR New Year......Same Old You? The Rotary Club of the Deepings are undertaking bag packing on Saturday 19 February as part of the ‘Thanks for Life’ Campaign, at Tesco in Market Deeping and are hoping to repeat the success in 2010 when over £700 was raised. The Thanks for Life campaign is about helping to eradicate Polio from the four remaining countries where children are still dying or disable by it; Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria. Look out for purple crocus flowers in the area, planted by various Rotary groups to highlight the Polio campaign. The flowers are synonymous with the ink painted on each child’s finger when they are vaccinated. Club Secretary, John Slimmon: 01778 346618

Pecan Butter Tarts
For this recipe you will need:125gm Pecans 75gm Sultanas (soaked overnight in a splash of Hennessy Paradis Cognac) 3 drops Vanilla Extract (or 4 or 5 if your hand slips) 3 Posh Eggs (i.e. well beaten) 125gm Soft Dark Sugar 100gm Butter 100gm Golden Syrup (regular readers will know that a good dessert spoon full is 50gm)
We once took these tarts off our dessert menu and had so many complaints that we would not dare do so again! You will need six sweet pastry cases, about 10cm across and 2cm deep. For this you could either (a) Buy them (O.K.) (b) Make them yourself (Better) or (c) Book Nigella Lawson for a cookery demonstration, then say that nobody else turned up but while she is here would she mind making 6 pastry cases, and by the way what is she doing for the rest of the evening? (Best). Preheat the oven to 140oC. 1) Roughly chop the pecans (kitchen scissors work well) into a bowl. Add the sultanas and vanilla extract, then the beaten eggs and give the whole lot a good stir. 2) Melt the sugar, butter and golden syrup in a pan over a low light. Keep stirring whilst the sugar melts to avoid it burning, then allow to bubble gently for 3 minutes. 3) Pour the hot mixture into the pecan bowl, again stirring briskly. WARNING : DO NOT POUR THE HOT SYRUP ONTO YOUR HAND – IT WILL HURT A LOT 4) Spoon the mixture into the tart cases (making sure that none of the tarts end up like Langtoft i.e. with more than its fair share of nuts) and bake for 30 minutes. Simples. - Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Will 2011 be Your Year to Start Saving? Total UK personal debt had reached £1,457bn by October 2010, according to figures from Credit Action – more money than the whole country produces in a year and a sum that equates to around £8,500 per household. Contrast that with the nation’s current savings levels, which have seen the average household save just £949 over the last 12 months – or £2.60 a day.
However, in an environment where it has become the norm for individuals to make purchases with debt, changing this ‘enjoy now, pay later’ mentality is difficult. If there was ever a good reason to start changing our behaviour, it is surely the fact it costs the average household 15% of its net income just to meet its interest payments. That is £2,000, £3,000 or perhaps even £5,000 a year going to lenders that could otherwise be heading into our pockets. Now that really should be an incentive to start saving.
The government is keen to encourage such a change. Work & Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has been quoted as saying: “We do not save enough in this country…it is appalling, and changing the culture is critical.” Right now, the main incentives to encourage such saving involve limiting the amount of tax you pay on certain savings products. Tax savings are important but with historically low interest rates it is vital that you seek the professional Independent Financial Advice on the right place to invest your money. If you want to make a change in 2011 call us today on (01778) 342291 for a free initial discussion. If you like the sound of ethical investing and would like further information give us a call on (01778) 342291 and we will arrange a suitable time to discuss your options with you.

THE MUSIC SCENE By Charlotte Chorley
Ellie Goulding
With nearly 300,000 sales of her debut album, Lights, Ellie Goulding was the biggest new artist of the year. The Critics’ Choice of the 2010 Brits, she burst onto the scene with her threat of an acoustic-pop fusion, ‘Starry-eyed’, and captured the imagination and hearts of all ages whilst nailing the eccentric, folk glamour that has now forced her to the front of the fashion polls. Her secret is that she executes her feathery keyboardpop concoctions with a contradictory mix of humble politeness to create a truly relatable, and lovable, stage presence; and, her dippy-hippy theatricality simply adds to her charmingly entrancing vocals, creating a unique and mesmerising listening experience. Her new album, Bright Lights, released recently, has affixed some new songs to her debut – you may recognise her cover of Elton John’s Your Song as the theme of the Christmas John Lewis advert. With no signs of slowing down, she is definitely one to watch in the coming year.

The Waterton Arms Deeping St James
The Vaccines Receiving the baton of Critic’s Choice 2011 from Miss Goulding, this quartet are riding into town to reassert rock’s fundamentals with their short and bittersweet songs. Not much is known about The Vaccines, they have little web presence (having only recently created a MySpace account after their first local gig attracted 300 gig-goers and a further 200 had to be turned away!) and they’ve been keen to heighten the hype by withholding information about themselves and their line-up, but this forthcoming year is sure to bring them to the forefront of music stardom. Their first proper single, Wreckin’ Bar, is a short one minute and 24 seconds’ worth of Ramones-style indie-rock and is a wonderful addition to any party playlist. The handsome, indie hunks could be the first to revive the lost days of the four-square rock band...watch this space.
The Waterton Arms in Deeping St James has a dedicated team of staff and this month we meet Ian, known as ‘Spud’. The place to find Spud is behind the bar, where he has been meeting, greeting and serving patrons for 12 years, passing on his skills and knowledge in real ales, a marked change from his previous career in panel beating and paint spraying. With such a sociable role at the pub, when it’s time to get out and about, Spud takes an interest in playing golf and then puts his feet up watching his favoured Manchester United. Planning ahead in the pub trade means that Spud has started planning for a beer festival for the last May Day Bank Holiday weekend, 27 - 30th May. For someone who enjoys meeting people and seeing them enjoy themselves, the beer festival will be four fantastic days... hard work, but great fun and likely to be followed by some relaxing rounds of golf in the early summer sunshine.

Eat More to Lose Weight!
It may sound a strange suggestion to eat more when you are trying to lose weight, but the human body is a very complex and sophisticated ‘machine’ and it helps to understand a little about how it works when you are trying to slim. It is perhaps something of a cliché to say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but this is particularly true when dieting.You are literally breaking the fast of the night; having not eaten food for many hours. If you do not eat a breakfast, the body goes into what is known as ‘famine mode’ and tries to hold on to its energy stores – i.e. fat, the very thing you want to get rid of. Going without food for long periods of time results in blood sugar levels decreasing, affecting both physical and mental performance, and in many instances causing cravings for sweet foods later in the day. If you are short of time, or do not have much of an appetite, breakfast can be just a yogurt or a piece of fruit. If you are hungry, then in a few minutes you can boil an egg, or make some porridge, which will sustain you for2-3 hours (you can get instant and microwavable versions of porridge). Getting a good start helps avoid snacking on unhealthy alternatives during the morning and can help to control a sweet tooth, if you suffer with one. It is a good idea to have something to eat every two to three hours to maintain blood sugar level and avoid getting too hungry. Fruit is a good option, but contains natural sugars, so limit to three pieces a day. Low fat yogurt is also useful as a snack, but if you are choosing a flavoured variety please check the label as many of these are very high in sugar. Try low fat cheese on a crispbread if you like savoury foods. Lunch time can be a bit of a minefield if
you are out at work; salads and sandwich fillings can often be high in fat and salt. If you can, take something from home as you have control over the contents. If you have access to hot meals, a baked potato can be a healthy choice, but take care with the fillings. Unthickened soups are also a good option, but watch the bread! Don’t skip lunch; you are more likely to be tempted to have a cake or bar of chocolate in the afternoon. Have another piece of fruit or a yogurt if you get peckish. Make sure you are not hungry when you go food shopping or you will buy more of the unhealthy options. Try not to buy anything high in fat and sugar; if it is not in the house you won’t be tempted. In the evenings, when many people are tired from work or family activities, there is a great temptation to resort to the convenience of ready meals. The labelling of these products seems to get more complicated by the day. ‘Low fat’ on a label can merely mean lower than the standard version, products that are low fat can be high in sugar, ‘no added sugar’ products can still be high in naturally occurring sugars. This is why it is better to prepare food from scratch yourself. This doesn’t need to be time consuming or complicated; grilled meat or fish, omelettes, stir fry dishes using spray oil. In addition to your main evening meal, a small supper can help to keep that metabolism going. If you have struggled to lose weight in the past, you may have a slow metabolism; eating certain foods at certain times can speed this up. Some overweight people do not eat enough food to keep their metabolic rate working and this could be one of the reasons for their slower weight losses.
