Stamford’s first Wassailing… With the revival of interest in traditional orchards and the growth of community orchards, wassailing is becoming part of the calendar once again. But although familiar with the word ‘wassailing’, most of us are not sure of what it means or where the word comes from. ‘Wassail’ comes from the Anglo-Saxon waes haeil – ‘Be well’, ‘Be in good health,’ and in the past was commonly used as a greeting between the lord of the manor and the peasant workers.
Wassailing is an old custom originating

Essence of Beauty, Stamford is a brand new beauty salon located on St Marys Hill. If you are looking for an intimate, personalised service with a customised treatment, then Essence of Beauty is exactly where you should go. They specialise in the Darphin range of beauty treatments that have products to suit younger clients to the more mature and all skin types in between. This ensures the right treatment for each individual. The Darphin range is made from plant extracts and has many anti-aging, hydrating and reviving qualities. Charlotte and I went along to meet the team and sample the treatments on offer. Being a facial fanatic, I had the 30 minute sensorial revival, pick-me-up facial – and it was superb! From the essential oils to the hot towels, the whole experience did exactly what it said – I felt revived and refreshed – perfect if you only have limited time, however, there are a number of more luxurious 1 hour treatments for total indulgence.
Charlotte experienced the tension relief massage, as working in the Scene office with our deadlines and tight schedules, she certainly needed it! The description on the salons menu says ‘melt in to the therapists hands’ and this is just how Charlotte said she felt – the pressure was absolutely perfect and afterwards felt relaxed and stress free. Essence of Beauty also offer; nail, eyelash extensions and also make-up from Jane Iredale.
If you are interested in make-up, the therapist from Jane Iredale is coming to the salon on the 31st January and is offering one-on-one make-up tuition plus a group talk about the beauty of Jane Iredale mineral make-up.

HEALTH, HAIR & BEAUTY
Back to basics With our busy lives, the lead up to Christmas and the excesses that come with the festivities, the New Year is always seen as a time to start again. This is just as true for our health, fitness and nutrition. Going back to basics is simple, but something we can all forget about.
Mark Gordon www.fitness2health.co.uk Facebook: Mark FitnessTrainer
Exercise } Start slowly
Food } Cutting back the simple way • • • • • •
Never eat any diet food product. These foods are full of chemicals that our body cannot process and are almost certainly lacking in nutrients. Avoid all starchy carbohydrates, white bread, white rice, pasta, cakes and biscuits. These are packed full of sugar and will give you an energy rush followed by a sudden fall in energy levels. Avoid processed foods and sauces. These contain high levels of sugar, salt and additives. Try having a treat day every 3-4 days, but that doesn’t mean the whole day! Drink plenty of water and cut back on soft drinks, alcohol, coffee and tea. This will help your digestive system, pick up your energy levels, aid water retention and give your skin a healthy glow. Stock up on lean protein like trimmed meat, eggs and nuts. Protein fills you up for longer and plays a vital part in muscle formation. Perfect if you are trying to loose weight and gain muscle tone.
• • • • •
Try a home DVD workout, including a little resistance. You can build up the resistance as you become stronger. Use objects in the home as free weights such as bottles of water and tins. Your core muscles are so important, not just in exercise but also in your day to day health and wellbeing. Coupled with this is posture. Take a check a few times everyday to see how your posture is, whether you’re sitting or standing. A simple piece of home exercise equipment is a gym ball. By using the ball with exercises that require balance, you are engaging more muscles in your workout which means it will be more effective overall. Little and often. A good 20 minute workout 4 – 5 times a week is more realistic and effective.
Detox There are questions over whether detoxing is effective or beneficial. Our bodies are designed to clean out waste, but as modern diets quite often include processed ingredients and ‘junk’ foods, our bodies have to work so much harder. By maintaining a balanced lifestyle yourself, you shouldn’t feel the need to actively detox. Check the ingredients in the detox solutions available.

HEALTH, HAIR & BEAUTY
NEW YEAR... NEW YOU??!!! HYPNOTHERAPY & HYPNOANALYSIS There are two main forms of hypnotherapy… 1. Suggestion Therapy (sometimes called Clinical Hypnotherapy( 2. Pure Hypnoanalysis (only practised by IAPH trained therapists) CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY Clinical or Suggestion therapy is ‘normal’ hypnotherapy, basically you will be relaxed into a calm, relaxed light hypnotic state where you will be given suggestions that will affect your feelings/behaviour when you are in your normal waking conscious state. This is called Post`Hypnotic Suggestion. The suggestion given will be tailored to the symptoms that you require help with and all suggestions given will be worded in a positive and careful order so that you can attain the best results. This is very effective for smoking cessation, pre-test nerves, driving tests, presentation nerves including interviews, weight control & general anxiety/confidence/motivation amongst others……normally one to three sessions are all that are required.
PURE HYPNOANALYSIS I believe that pure analysis is one of the most effective, safest & quickest forms of therapy to reduce the symptoms of anxiety, phobias, depression, eating disorders & other psychological & emotional problems. Hypno-analysis is a special form of hypnotherapy, helping people to resolve their unconscious anxieties/conflicts and bottled up emotions therefore reducing their symptoms and problems in life. It is a therapeutic technique, whereby
a client is relaxed into hypnosis and using Free Association sets outs to release bottled up emotions/ conflicts & anxieties. Hypnoanalysis usually takes 8-12 weekly sessions lasting approx. 1 hour each. This is only two forms of the different therapies practised here at peterborough hypnotherapy practice, for further information on these or other therapies offered, or to book a free initial consultation:

The German car, which was revamped recently, has permanent all-wheel drive with self-locking centre differential. The luxury SUV’s power is transmitted to all four wheels with optimum precision and control. It is a refined and impressively quiet off-roader which is also capable of great acceleration - it is a Porsche after all! The latest three-litre V6 Diesel engine offered in the Cayenne now delivers 242 bhp - 5 bhp more punch than previously via an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission, which includes steering wheel mounted gearshift controls.

enough to bump the Cayenne diesel down to a 30 per cent benefit in kind tax rate, from 32 per cent. In addition, the power increase has had a positive effect on performance. For example, the acceleration time from 0-62 mph has been cut by 0.2 seconds to 7.6 seconds, and top speed is up 2mph to 137mph. Unsurprisingly, the Cayenne makes a great towing vehicle and the preparation for an optional tow bar system comes as standard. For the biggest loads, you can choose from two towing options: an electrically retractable tow bar unit, which was fitted to my test vehicle (at a cost of £825), or a manually detachable tow bar. With the electric version, the ball neck can be retracted beneath the rear apron – all at the

Two local brothers launch voucher website to boost the local economy My Local Vouchers is a website designed to increase the number of local people using local businesses again. The way in which we aim to do this is by creating a website which allows these smaller, local businesses to offer vouchers i.e. ‘20% off when you spend over £30’ which then encourages locals to shop locally. For local customers, they will be saving money with these vouchers so we see it as a mutually beneficial set up between the business and customer. Brothers Sean (22) and Lee Ruane (20), inspired by other more famous voucher offering websites, noticed that these websites contained more “national” orientated businesses. They felt that a website focusing on local, smaller businesses would be a great way of giving local people an incentive to begin using their local businesses again – the way it used to be.
“We started this website as there is not another website offering this.” Explains Lee, “this is an easy way of finding deals and vouchers local to you. It benefits both the customers to save them money during this recession and should also give the local economy a boost by getting people to spend their money with local businesses.” Lee added “We are two young entrepreneurs that want to try and put an end to shops being boarded up. We want to recreate the feeling of community amongst communities – sounds obvious, but unfortunately, we feel that it’s becoming a thing of the past.”

Single parents offered discounted wills SINGLE parents are among the group of people for whom a Will is most important, sadly they are one of the groups who are the least likely to have this planning in place. A new national initiative that offers the opportunity for single parents to have a will written to protect their children’s future is being headed locally by Will and Probate Services. The Society of Will Writers, through its participating members, is offering single parents throughout the UK a chance to have their will written at a greatly reduced cost in the hope it will make them think about their children’s future and ensure, should anything happen to them, their children’s’ welfare is assured and that they would be entrusted to the person that they want to care for them, instead of leaving it to chance. SWW Director General, Brian McMillan, said: “As parents with young children most of us never think about dying but sadly not all parents live long enough to see their children grow up. For single parents
particularly, a will is the most important thing you can do for your children to ensure that guardianship and trusts are put in place should the unthinkable happen before your child is 18. Throughout the month of January, Will and Probate Services will be offering to write a single parent’s will for a fixed fee of £35 plus VAT regardless of circumstances. For further information about this initiative and to make an appointment, give Will and Probate Services a call on 01778 341490.
