From the Editor

Local Magazines Published by Glos Directories - connecting local businesses with local people

Dear Reader, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have been able to take some time out to relax and enjoy the festive season with family and friends. I would like to thank all our readers for supporting the local businesses that have advertised with us in 2017 and would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year on behalf of the entire Glos Directories team. We hope 2018 brings you everything you have wished for. If you have made some New Year’s resolutions for the new year, I hope they last longer than mine! Normally by the end of January, they have fallen by the wayside and I’ve forgotten all about them… Don’t forget the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham still has Dick Whittington and his Cat on until Sunday 7th January and the Bacon Theatre is staging Aladdin between the 18th and 21st, so if you haven’t already, why not take the family out to watch a funny pantomime? To see what else is on in January, have a look at our “What’s On” pages towards the back of the magazine. Our monthly articles are always a great read, so grab a cup of tea and that last slice of Christmas cake and enjoy the January issue of the magazine. Best wishes, Vicky Muller

LOCAL CAR DEALERSHIP CELEBRATES 2 YEARS TRADING Just two years ago, Glevum Cars set up their home at Hoo Garage on the A38, south of Tewkesbury. Our intention was to fill a gap in the market, trading in high quality, second-hand cars. With used car sales accounting for almost threequarters of all car sales in the UK, we knew we could provide a local service that was missing.

a new MOT, workshop check-over and service where required.

Since January 2016, we have sold over 500 cars, and by offering a part exchange service we make sure our customers can switch easily from old to new. We stock what you tell us you need, whether it’s a heavy-duty pickup truck for farm use, a comfortable family saloon or a first car for your 17-yearold. With the motor industry and the government changing the goalposts regarding emissions, we keep a full range of diesel and petrol vehicles, to give you the choice. All our cars come with

Buying a used car can be a daunting experience, but we give you the comfort of knowing that ours come with mechanical warranties, and we are also expanding our services to include RAC breakdown cover on a large part of our stock.

A car is an expensive purchase, but one benefit of a slow economy is that there are flexible finance packages available. We have trading relationships with a range of providers and will search to find the best deal for you, at a price you can afford.

Over the last two years, we have had a lot of positive feedback from our customers. We have been referred to as “super accommodating”, “excellent” and “reliable”. It makes us blush, but it also makes us happy to know that

Cake and Bake Baked Pears with Cinnamon Oat Topping You can use any pear variety for this winter warming fruity pudding. Serve with custard or crème fraîche and a drizzle of warmed honey, if liked.

Ingredients: • 4 medium-sized firm pears • 150ml apple or orange juice • 50g unsalted butter • 75g rolled oats • 50g Demerara sugar • 25g walnut pieces, chopped • 1tsp ground cinnamon, plus extra to sprinkle

Serves 4 Ready in 1 hour

TIP

This recipe will work just as well with crisp eating or cooking apples instead of the pears. Page 10

Preheat the oven to 180C/Fan 160C/gas mark 4. Halve the pears lengthways and scoop out the cores with a teaspoon. Place the pear halves in a shallow ovenproof dish, cut-side up.

2. Pour the apple or orange juice into the dish

and dot the pears with half the butter. Cover loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the rest of the butter in a small pan then remove from the heat, add the oats, sugar, walnuts and cinnamon and stir to combine.

3. Remove the foil and spoon the oat mixture

over the top of the pears. Bake the pears, uncovered, for a further 20-25 minutes until tender with a crisp topping. Serve warm, sprinkled with a little more cinnamon, if liked.

Home & Interiors Light Up Your Winter

By Katherine Sorrell

In the darkness of deepest winter, pay attention to your lighting. Could a quick update make it bright where necessary, cosy where wanted and as fashionforward as anyone could desire?

BRIGHTEN UP YOUR LIGHTNING • Using just one central pendant to illuminate a room creates a flat light with dark corners, making the space seem dull and small. If you are renovating, now’s the time to add wall lights, install some additional ceiling lights, or include some track lighting in cornices or bookcases. • To improve a boring lighting scheme quickly and easily, add extra lights at different heights – a table lamp in the corner, a floor lamp in other, maybe a clip light attached to a shelf. The aim is to create layers of light that come from different directions, and that you can adjust to suit your mood or the way you’re using the room. • Think about bulbs – save money by changing to LEDs, which last for years and are very cheap to run. How ‘warm’ or ‘cool’ they are is marked in kelvins - look for around 2,700K for a pleasant indoor light. Dimmer switches give flexibility to your lighting, but they’re not always compatible with LEDs, so check with your electrician. • ‘Smart’ lighting is the way to go – use a remote control or an app on your phone to dim your lights, switch them on and off or even change their colours.

Page 12

This smoky glass and brass table lamp would make a great update for a modern or retro-style living room. Boho smoke grey and brass table lamp, £180, Alexander & Pearl. Changing a pendant light can create a fabulous focal point in a room. The eight baubles on this contemporary chandelier cascade pretty, ambient light. Bubble chandelier, £79.99, Dowsing and Reynolds. This wonderfully sleek pendant light features a built-in, dimmable LED panel so you can adjust the light level to suit your mood. Shown here in Petrol, it is also available in Pearl, Forest, Anthracite, Ruby and Saffron. Asteria pendant, £179, Black By Design. Great for a party – or even every day – plug in a colourful, neon lamp and illuminate your space with style. Lumosnap neon lights, £22-£50, Gingersnap.

Smart lighting systems are easy to use and surprisingly affordable. Tradfri dimming kit, from £15, PS 2017 Table Lamp, £25; both Ikea. Illuminate a corner of your living room – and provide a snugly spot for curling up with a good book – by swapping a tired old floor lamp for a good-looking, on-trend new one. Slam Dunk floor lamp in antique brass, £175, Loaf.

Gardener’s Resolve… by Pippa Greenwood

Happy New Year! Now that 2018 is here, what are your garden resolutions for the year ahead? Here are my suggestions… Re-cYcle pots Save all the pots and trays you get when buying plants and rinse them out to use next time you need one. Store the pots away from sunlight to prevent the plastic disintegrating. coveR it up! Make a resolution to dry off and cover up garden furniture once the summer is over, to protect it from rain, cold, ice or even fungi! Buy furniture covers or, better still, store the furniture in a shed or garage if you have one. Stored properly, it will last much longer. GRow YouR owN Aim to grow more of your own fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs. This could be buying a couple of tomato plants for the first time, or creating a small herb planter, or it could be larger scale and more complex plans if you’re already big on grow-your-own. Don’t forget that there’s a great choice of UK-grown vegetable plants plus my weekly advice and tips emails at www. pippagreenwood.com/growyour-own. Page 16

compost moRe Once you get in the swing of it, composting becomes second nature. Make sure you include kitchen waste such as vegetable peelings, apple cores. The amount of extra compost you’ll generate will be well worthwhile. Many local councils offer a good deal on basic plastic composters. use tHat space! If you have a cold frame, porch, conservatory or greenhouse, put it to use! Any sort of protected growing area has the ability to increase what you can grow and when you can grow it. So raise your own summer flowers in it, force some bulbs in it in the winter or make off-season sowings of salad crops…make it work, but whatever you do, don’t use it as the family rubbish dump! mulcH moRe Make use of any organic matter that is bulky – mulch with it. Whether it is well-rotted manure, garden compost, the used compost from a seasonal bedding display or growing bag, or leaf mould, make it into mulch! Applied a couple of inches or more deep over the soil surface, a mulch like this will improve the soil’s ability to conserve moisture (so saving you both watering time and

water) and may also help to keep weeds at bay. A win-win situation. pause befoRe You buY When you’re looking through the seed, plant and bulb catalogues, browsing online or wandering around a garden centre, pause before you buy. I know I’m not alone in having eyes that are much bigger than my plot! It is very easy to order more seeds than you’ll ever be able to sow and plants that you’ll never be able to squeeze into your garden. seasoNal saveR Make sure you recycle your Christmas tree. Real trees can be recycled at locations up and down the country – many garden centres and councils offer the service. The trees will be shredded and added to other green materials to make a great soil conditioner and planting mix. Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood.com and you’ll find some great gardening things: ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ (where you receive your chosen garden-ready vegetable plants in the spring accompanied by weekly advice and tips from Pippa) plus gardening tools, raised bed kits, Grower Frames, signed books and more!
