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

Dear Reader, Welcome to the September issue of your Local Community Magazine. It won’t be long now until the children are all back at school. Is that a sigh of relief I can hear or do you wish the holidays could be a little bit longer? I usually can’t wait for school to start again but this year I could have done with a few more days as we’ve been so busy! As you can see when paging through the magazine, we’re jam-packed with local businesses and local events happening in and around the area. If you would like to add your business to the magazine or an upcoming event to our “What’s on” section, please email office@ glosdirectories.co.uk for more details. A date for your diary this month is the Bloor Homes Cheltenham Festival of Cycling which takes place on Saturday 9th September. The festival involves a series of town-wide events and zones and incorporates the finish line of the OVO Energy Tour of Britain Stage 7, which will bring 120 elite cyclists racing through the Cotswolds. For more information on the festival, have a look at our "What's on" section. Have a great month and see you back here in October! Best wishes, Vicky Muller

Longfield, the Gloucestershire based hospice charity for people with life-limiting illness, opens its new shop in the centre of Tewkesbury It was no ordinary opening as Longfield launched its new shop in Tewkesbury. Tewkesbury town crier Mike Kean-Price made the public proclamation while Tewkesbury town mayor Peggy Clatworthy did the honours by cutting the ribbon. Longfield is the largest provider of hospice at home care in Gloucestershire. Last year it provided thousands of hours of care in people’s homes and all of it was free of charge. “A lot of people said ‘oh no, not another charity shop in the town’ but this is no ordinary charity shop. It is simply fantastic and the cause it supports is wonderful,” said Cllr Clatworthy.

Town crier Michael Kean-Price opens the new store

The new shop in Church Street has already broken the charity’s record for first day takings by achieving £1,780 in sales – enough to help pay for 75 hours of Hospice at Home care in people’s homes.

in the Tewkesbury shop can contact manager Lloyd Thomas on 01684 296718.

“We’re thrilled with the response we have received so far,” said shop manager Lloyd Thomas. “Yes we are a charity shop but we pride ourselves on providing highquality goods at reasonable prices. Our shop is fitted to the same high standard of any commercial shop in the High Street. We are no ordinary charity shop.” “Last year Longfield supported more than 900 people with the majority of those services provided in the community and in people’s homes. The money we generate here in Gloucestershire stays here in the county.”

Town crier Michael Kean-Price, Mayoress Maggie Thornton, Mayor of Tewkesbury Town Cllr Peggy Clatworthy and Longfield chair of trustess Trevor Bentley open the new store

Longfield has 17 shops across the county. All of them depend on donations from the public of good quality goods and the support of volunteers. Anyone interested in volunteering

What’s in your blue bin? Residents in Tewkesbury Borough are being reminded to ‘reduce, reuse and recycle’ as the borough council sets out to provide support and information on how to recycle the correct items. On a recent visit to the recycling plant which processes the borough’s recycling (operated by SUEZ Recycling and Recovery), council officers watched as a tent, a pair of wellies and some net curtains were removed from the recycling and disposed of.

Common items which are incorrectly put in residents’ blue bins include plastic toys, electrical items, video tapes and clothing - many which can be recycled locally at the household recycling centres around the county. Nappies also occasionally appear in the recycling rather than in general waste and can prove a costly and unpleasant issue to deal with. The collection crews will check bins before emptying them but sometimes it is hard to see what is at the bottom and therefore it has to be a joint effort.

Above: The recycling being sorted at the plant Below: The swing that has been incorrectly disposed of

Cllr. Jim Mason, leader for clean and green environment said “It is so important that we recycle, and our residents do a fantastic job of using our blue bin scheme. It is equally as important that our residents also make conscientious choices with their While observing the plant operations, rubbish - it costs taxpayers’ money to dispose of non-recyclable items If you are in doubt as to whether officers witnessed a child’s swing, after they have been collected and something can be recycled, a full which had been incorrectly disposed sorted, so we urge all residents to list can be found on the council’s of in a blue bin; bringing the entire think carefully about what they place website www.tewkesbury.gov.uk/ plant to a standstill for 20 minutes in their recycling bin. Reuse is a really bluebin. due to loose parts and the swing’s good way of giving something cord jamming the machinery. a new lease of life”. Please mention Tewkesbury Magazine when responding to advertisers Page 7 The plant operatives explained that they had regular incidences of items being sent to recycling that could have been reused at a charity shop, sold on or in some instances should have been in the general rubbish bin.

Lamb Koftas with Minted Couscous Serves 4

Ready in 50 minutes

This flavour-packed dish is great for a late summer lunch or dinner. Serve with warmed flatbreads and tzatziki, if liked.

Ingredients: FOR THE KOFTAS • 350g lean minced lamb ½ red onion, finely chopped • 1 garlic clove, crushed • 2tsp ground coriander • 2tsp ground cumin • 1tsp smoked paprika • 2tbsp fresh chopped coriander • Squeeze of lemon juice FOR THE COUSCOUS • 225g couscous • 3tbsp olive oil • 1tbsp lemon juice • ¼ cucumber, finely diced • 4 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped • 3tbsp fresh chopped mint • 4 tomatoes, cut into chunks • Lemon wedges and mint sprigs to garnish Page 8

To make the koftas, place the mince, onion, garlic, spices, fresh coriander and lemon juice in a food processor. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then process until very finely minced. Divide the mixture into 12 and using clean damp hands, shape each into an oval. Push each oval onto the end of a long wooden skewer (see tip) and place on a foil-lined grill pan. Cook under a preheated medium grill for 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until browned and cooked through. Meanwhile, make the couscous. Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour over 250ml boiling water. Cover and leave to soak for about 10 minutes, until all the water has been absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork and stir in the olive oil, lemon juice, cucumber, spring onions and mint. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve the koftas with the couscous and tomatoes, garnished with lemon wedges and mint sprigs.

TIP Soak the wooden skewers in cold water for about 20 minutes to prevent the ends burning under the grill.

Houseplants Go Home by Pippa Greenwood

Most houseplants need to be just that, plants in houses, but come the summer it usually gives them a real boost to get the higher natural light levels, refreshing (relatively warm) rainfall and seriously fresh air. But now that September is here it is time to bring them indoors – colder nights will cause damage, especially to some of the more tender varieties. Before bringing them in, check your plants over. Use a sharp pair of scissors to remove dead, damaged or dying leaves, cutting back neatly into clean, healthy growth. Next inspect the stems, foliage and any flowers for pests and diseases - it always pays to bring houseplants in totally clean. Look out for white powdery mildew deposits, often accompanied by a bit of leaf yellowing, and check for greyish fuzzy fungal patches caused by the notorious Botrytis or grey mould. Also look for pests like scale insects - tiny brownish elliptical insects which feed beneath leaves or on soft stems, often producing copious quantities of sticky, sugary honeydew - or aphids, which may be found clustered on the more tender, Page 12

newer growth. These must be dealt with before the plants go indoors, as once inside the pests will flourish in the warmer, more protected conditions, and will soon multiply and may even spread. Most problems like these, if caught early, can be dealt with by using scissors or secateurs to snip off infected areas, or by some careful picking off by hand. If you find scale insects, aphids or fluffy patches of mealy bug, there is a brilliant environmentallyfriendly biocontrol that is also safe for you and your pets. For more information, visit www. pippagreenwood.com/products/ protect-your-crops. Next, inspect the pots, including the surface of the compost and beneath the base and rim of the pot itself. If you can, and as long as the plant won’t be damaged in the process, gently ease it out of its pot and check the root ball - this is the perfect place for stowaways like vine weevils, slugs and snails. Not the sort of house guests you or your plants would appreciate, I’m sure. When the check over is complete, gently scrape away the uppermost surface of the compost and replace with the

same quantity of fresh, similar compost, wipe down the sides of the pot and take your plants inside, taking care not to put them anywhere which is too hot, too dry or too draughty for their liking. Once your old favourites are safely re-installed in their old positions and are free from unwanted guests, you may like to treat yourself to a new houseplant or two. There are some wonderful (and good value) houseplants readily available in garden centres and supermarkets now - how about a marvellously elegant moth orchid (Phalaenopsis)? I treated myself to a couple this summer and I know that even with my sometimes erratic care they should keep on performing for years to come! Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood.com for her ‘Winter thru’ Spring Collection’ of gorgeous UK-grown gardenready vegetable plants ready for delivery in September. You’ll also find many gardening items including growing frames, SpeedHoes, SpeedWeeders, raised bed kits, Nemaslug and other nematode controls, copper tape, pull-out EasyTunnels, signed books and lots more besides.

How to Build Up Your Credit Rating at University stage?

Being able to borrow money when you need it is a crucial part of everyday life for most people. It enables you to enter the property market when the time comes, helps you buy your first car, and provides the means to deal with emergencies when they happen. Many undergraduate bank accounts offer a credit card and arranged overdraft facility when you start university, with the overdraft facility often being increased over the following years depending on the risk involved to the lender. Do lenDers think you will Default? This is partly how lenders decide whether or not to accept an application for borrowing – it’s based largely on the risk of default that you present to them. This risk is assessed using your credit file, which contains a credit rating and other information. Building a good credit rating certainly takes time, but when your degree course is finished and you start work, you’ll be thankful for the steps you’ve already taken. So what can you do to help yourself at this Page 16

• apply for a credit-builder credit card These credit cards are for people with no credit history, or a poor credit rating that needs to be rebuilt. In your case, a card such as this will allow you to build up a good credit history, as long as you are sensible and use it in the right way. You should use it each month to pay for regular but relatively low outgoings - your food shopping, for example, or rail tickets. The crucial part is to pay off the balance in full, and without fail, every month. Missing a single payment will instantly damage your credit rating. You will also be charged a high interest rate on the outstanding balance, and late payment fees. Using a credit-builder credit card is one of the most effective ways to build a good credit history if it’s used properly. • Make sure you’re on the electoral register Any lender will want to see that you have a fixed address, and be able to confirm your identity. This increases confidence that you’re trustworthy, but as a student living in halls the best option is to use your home address. You can apply to be included on the register by contacting your local council or using the gov.uk website.

• Don’t exceed your overdraft limit without authorisation Going over your arranged overdraft limit, even for a day, will trigger high interest charges and other fees, but crucially it will also damage your credit score. If you know that you’re going to need extra money for a limited time, talk to your bank and see if they’ll agree to increase your limit, even if it’s only on a temporary basis. • avoid multiple applications for credit If you’re refused credit by one or more lenders it will adversely affect your credit rating, so it’s a good idea to avoid making multiple applications at the same time. • include rent payments in your credit file The Rental Scheme was first introduced in 2016. It involves paying your rent to the landlord through an intermediary, who informs the credit reference agencies that you’ve paid on time. The three main credit reference agencies in the UK – Experian, Equifax, and Callcredit – each hold their own information about your credit history. At some point whilst you’re at university, it would be worthwhile checking with each agency to ensure the information they hold is correct. http://www.savethestudent. org/money/student-banking/ student-credit-rating.html

Home & Interiors Inspired by Colour

By Katherine Sorrell

dyes could be extracted from other sources, such as ultramarine blue from ground lapis lazuli gemstones or Tyrian purple, where 10,000 boiled snails produced just one gram of dye. the story of colour is the story of society, of fashion, of the way we live, of science, of art – in fact, of mankind itself. We look at all aspects of colour, from its history to this year’s most fashionable shades. Did you know there was a time when green wallpaper could kill? Or that a very expensive dye was made from boiled snails? In the Palaeolithic era about 35,000 years ago - Stone Age man began to create cave paintings using earth pigments mixed with resin, water or glue made from animal bones and hides. For centuries the most widely used natural pigments were extracted from soil and rocks, plants, insects and animals. Ash and chalk were also basics; at a price, however, strong, bright pigments or

Historically, the use of colour was governed by ease of availability and thus cost. The richest colours were always reserved for the most important parts of religious and royal interiors. In the Georgian period, the affordable ‘common’ colours included stone and timber colours, greys and whites – in the form of distemper and white lead. Middle class households would often use the slightly more expensive oil colours such as ‘drab’ (dull brownish grey), olive, pea green and sky blue. More expensive paints included pink, lemon, orange and straw colour, while the most costly were verdigris, ultramarine and smalt, a glittering blue. Everything changed from the early 19th century, when chemists began to develop synthetic colours at lower

cost. Many new colours were developed and old ones were improved - though an exception was Emerald Green, commercially available from 1814 to the early 1900s, as fumes from wallpaper printed with the arsenic-based ink could be deadly. The new Victorian palette included bottle greens, gold, burgundy, crimson, rose, violet and mahogany, as well as intense chemical yellows, blues and greens. Edwardian hues became softer and paler and, ever since, colour has followed the rollercoaster of fashion and scientific advances: from the ‘greeneryyallery’ of the Aesthetic movement to the brilliant white produced by the introduction of titanium dioxide in 1916 and from the sorbet colours of the Fifties right through to the pinks, blues and greens of 2017. It’s fair to say that the modern world of colour has no limits.

History Man’s Best Friend By Catherine Rose to obey the rules of their pack. Scientists believe that our hunter-gatherer forefathers took grey wolf puppies from the wild, taming and interbreeding them to have traits according to the needs of their owners – from being hunting companions to helping herd livestock.

The domestic dog (canis familiaris) has been around for almost 20 thousand years. Despite much speculation, modern research has concluded that all dogs are descended from the grey wolf (canis lupus), although it is difficult to see what some of today’s diverse breeds have in common with them. Today’s domestic dog is the most varied mammal on earth in terms of shape, size and behaviour. The oldest dog remains date back 19 thousand years and were uncovered at a Palaeolithic site close to the Ukraine. Another Palaeolithic tomb excavated in Israel contained the skeletons of a man and his dog who had been buried together, demonstrating the bond in life between the two. Like man, wolves are sociable pack animals who accept the authority of a group leader. This made them readily adaptable to human leadership, being naturally loyal and able Page 28

This selective breeding meant that some dogs developed an acute sense of smell, hearing or vision, while others developed speed and stamina, or guarding, hunting and retrieving skills. These traits evolved over thousands of years to produce diverse canine types that were then bred within those types to evolve into the domestic dog breeds we have today. We know from murals that dogs were kept by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Chinese emperors lavished so much care on their canine companions that they were even said to have their own servants. In Europe, owning a dog gained popularity from the 13th century onwards, and during the Middle Ages it became a status symbol. Dogs were still largely kept for purpose rather than pleasure until the mid-19th century, when the Victorians made family pet-owning a sought-after social practice. With it came organised dog shows and the birth of the Kennel Club in

1873 to differentiate between and regulate ‘pure’ or pedigree breeds. Dogs outside of the specialisations came to be known as mixed breed or mongrels. The first Crufts was held in 1891. Different dog breeds differ widely in their life spans. Larger dogs tend to be shorter lived: Great Danes, for example, typically only survive eight years. The breed with the shortest lifespan - around five years - is said to be the Dogue de Bordeaux, while the longest-lived breeds are Toy Poodles and Border terriers, both of which can survive for up to 15 years. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest dog was a mongrel named Pusuke, who was almost 27 years old when he ‘crossed over the rainbow bridge’. Our long relationship with dogs runs deep into the backwaters of human history and will no doubt continue to do so. With the right training, dogs have consistently proved themselves to be intelligent, loyal, affectionate and often invaluable companions, rightfully earning themselves a place within our homes as a much-loved member of the family.
