Cake and Bake Banana and Walnut Loaf If you have overripe bananas in the fruit bowl then don’t bin them – just whizz up this delicious moist loaf cake instead. It will keep for up to 5 days wrapped in greaseproof paper or foil and stored in an airtight tin.
Ingredients: • 175g unsalted butter, softened • 175g light soft brown sugar • 225g self-raising flour • 2 tsp ground mixed spice • ½ tsp baking powder • 3 medium eggs • 75g walnut halves, roughly chopped • 2 large ripe bananas, peeled and mashed with 2 tsp lemon juice • Icing sugar, to dust
Makes 10 Slices Ready in 1 hour 45 minutes, plus cooling time Page 6
1.
Preheat the oven to 170C, Fan 150C, Gas 3. Grease and line the base and the two long sides of a 900g loaf tin with baking paper.
2.
Place the butter, sugar, flour, spice, baking powder and eggs in a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until thoroughly combined - this will take about 4-5 minutes. Fold in the walnuts and mashed bananas.
3.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level the surface. Bake for 1hour - 1 hour 15 minutes until risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
4.
Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack and cool completely. Dust thickly with icing sugar.
TIP Add a creamy soft frosting instead of the dusting of icing sugar, if liked. Simply beat 100g full-fat soft cheese with 100g very soft unsalted butter until smooth, then beat in 100g sifted icing sugar.

The Carpenters Songbook
at The Roses Theatre - Fri 13th April '18, 7.30pm Only one performer portraying the vocals of Karen Carpenter has ever received the ultimate accolade – a glowing endorsement by none other than Richard Carpenter. Describing Wendy Roberts’ depiction on national TV as a “very accurate and a faithful portrayal”, Karen’s brother Richard confessed to being “flattered” by the songstress’ depiction of his sister’s velvet vocals. During the Seventies, Karen and Richard – The Carpenters – scored a dozen top 20 hits in the UK. They ranked among the top ten albumselling artists of the decade and shifted an incredible 35 million units. As star of theatre’s seminal revue production 'Tribute to the Carpenters', Wendy’s performances of charttopping hits Top of the World, We’ve Only Just Begun, Goodbye to Love, Please Mr Postman, For All We Know and Only Yesterday were, at the time, critically acclaimed worldwide. In fact, Wendy is often credited for being part of creating the ‘revue
show’ phenomenon. “During the Nineties,” she says, “the whole tribute show industry that we have today was still to be invented. I remember having a discussion about the wonderful legacy of hit songs The Carpenters had left the world and saying someone should create a show featuring all their hits. “The next thing you know 'A Tribute to the Carpenters' was performing to full houses throughout the country culminating with a storming appearance at the London Palladium!” However, at the height of her popularity, Wendy hung up her microphone to begin a family. The brand-new theatre show 'The Carpenters’ Songbook' sees Wendy in the spotlight once more. Show producer Pete Tobit says that since Wendy bowed out of 'Tribute to the Carpenters', few shows have offered the depth and authenticity
offered by Wendy’s vocals. “We’ve tempted her out of retirement for one final tour,” he says. “It’s a chance to genuinely relive the timeless quality or Richard and Karen’s music... The songs are as relevant today as when The Carpenters enjoyed their first hit 'Close to You' in 1970. The Carpenters’ Songbook is coming to town – it’s yesterday once more.

Home & Interiors Spring Clean with Style
By Katherine Sorrell
Sweep, brush, wash and scrub. When spring sunlight shows up the corners of your home that need attention, it’s time to pop on your pinny and get to work. And cleaning is so much more enjoyable when the tools you use are both efficient and good-looking.
Tips for efficienT cleaning • For a proper fresh start, begin by tidying all the mess that has built up over the last year. Sort it out into piles of rubbish, things to give away, stuff that needs mending and everything else that needs to find a rightful home. Ta da! You have created much more space in your home and plenty of room to get cleaning. • Be prepared. Work out what jobs you are going to tackle, wear appropriate clothing and gather together all the necessary tools and products. A spacious caddy will come in very handy. • Divide tasks into five key areas: vacuuming, dusting, mopping/ scrubbing, washing and wiping, and polishing. Don’t forget specific jobs such as turning mattresses, spot-cleaning upholstery, cleaning the oven, defrosting the fridge, descaling the shower head and beating rugs. You may also get super-organised and add in those less frequent tasks such as steam-cleaning the carpets or having the chimney swept. • Your basic principles of cleaning should be to work from top to bottom and tackle dry chores before wet ones. Decide whether to do one room at a time or one task at a time throughout the whole house. Put some music on and enjoy the process – your home will be gleaming before you know it. Page 10

Get Your Soil into Shape by Pippa Greenwood
A fundamental garden need is good quality soil; it is key to bigger flowers and heavier crops. And there is still time to shape up your soil before the gardening season really begins in earnest. Frosty weather can be useful, as it can save work with heavy clay soil. If you roughly dig or fork it over, the frost will act on the large lumps of clay and break them down somewhat, making them more manageable. Most soils can become badly compacted if you walk or stand on them when they are very wet, especially if the soil is clay or slightly heavy loam. If you can’t avoid walking on wet soil, use a few boards or planks as walkways to spread the load and reduce damage. Forking a heavy soil rather than digging with a spade will reduce compaction, but either way the soil surface usually ends up pretty lumpy. Re-forking, breaking up the large lumps, followed by a final raking will help you get closer to that ‘fine tilth’ often described in gardening books. Adding bulky organic matter such as leaf mould, well-rotted manure or garden compost helps feed the soil naturally Page 14
and improves its texture, so that it holds the right amount of moisture for as long as possible – and there is still time to fork this in now. Create free organic matter by making a compost heap or bin, and turn autumn leaves into lead mould, a wonderful soil conditioner. Incorporating some horticultural grade grit or gravel will also help to improve the texture and performance of a heavy clay soil. Avoid builders’ gravel or grit – it can damage or kill garden plants. If you have lots of small stones or larger lumps of flint in your soil, remove them before planting your flowers and vegetables. Some stones are good, but even a lightly stony soil can result in forked or deformed root vegetables. Alternatively, invest in raised beds and fill them with stonefree soil. Manure adds both texture and food for your plants. It should be good quality, with few additives, and free from weeds, especially troublesome ones like nettles, docks and couch grass. In recent years, manure contaminated by the weedkiller used to control weeds in pastureland has devastated plants. Try to buy from
someone local who you can trust to tell you what chemicals have been used. Manure must be well-rotted – ideally it should have sat in a heap for about two years. Green manures are a great way to feed and condition your soil, and help suppress weeds and protect the soil from wind erosion. They work especially well on parts of the garden where plants are not grown year round – as when you use a green manure, you sow seed, allow the plants to grow and then incorporate them into the soil to rot down. Sow seeds later this year – there are lots to choose from, including red clover, mustard, field beans, phaecelia and field lupins. Yes, there’s potentially a fair bit of work involved, but you don’t have to do everything suggested and anything you do will make a huge difference!

Return to Broadway On Good Friday 30th March, the first passenger train since 1960 will draw into Broadway station. This will be a celebration of forty years' hard work by volunteers and supporters of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway who have been re-laying track and building stations from Cheltenham Racecourse station along the route of the former GWR main line to Birmingham. As the photographs show, not only has new track been laid to reach Broadway, but there a replica station has been built from scratch; another testament to the hard work and enthusiasm of hundreds of volunteers. To mark this milestone, I have delved into the archives to discover an account in the Cheltenham Chronicle of the original opening of the line into Cheltenham on 1st August 1906. “8.05am and 8.51am ought to be figures easily remembered in connection with the full opening of the Honeybourne branch, for they are the times in the morning at which the first train ran out of St James'-square Cheltenham, and of the one that came into it. Precisely to time, rail motor-car No.69, with trailer No.6, departed without any ceremony. There were six passengers – three for Bishop's Cleeve, two for Gotherington, and one for Winchcombe. The first train in, No.65 car with No.24 trailer, brought in a goodly freight of 51 passengers, about a dozen of whom came from Evesham, and all were through bookings. It was found that one lady
Broadway station soon after its opening in 1904. It was still unfinished; note the pile of gravel on the platform (Ian Crowder: GWSR) who wanted to go to Birmingham had got into this car by mistake, and was sent back by the next car to Honeybourne for her connecting train. It is interesting to note that Mr R.E. Steel, solicitor of Cheltenham, who was one of the first passengers by the in-train, was also a first passenger from Cheltenham when the Banbury line was opened [1881], and through the Seven Tunnel [1886]. The bookings by the second out-train, at 10.01am, numbered 18, Bishop's Cleeve taking three, Bretforton one, Campden two, Gotherington three, Honeybourne six, Stratford one, and Winchcombe two. Two rail motors will for the present work the traffic. The one, starting from Cheltenham at 8.05am will run via Honeybourne to Moreton in Marsh and return and do a journey to and from Evesham and finish up with a return one to Honeybourne, ending at Cheltenham at 7.18pm. The other car will run chiefly between Evesham and
The magnificent replica station nearing completion when this article was written (Ian Crowder: GWSR) Page 16
Cheltenham, via Honeybourne, doing four journeys, the first being at 7.33am and the fourth ending at 9.51pm. There will be two goods trains each way between Honeybourne and Gloucester. From four to four and a half hours are allowed for each journey, including calls and stops at the several stations.” Interestingly none of these early passengers either came from or travelled to Broadway! But the Gloucester Citizen showed itself already to be alive to the tourist potential. On the opening of the line it commented: “The new line passes through a district rich in picturesque scenery and historic interest. The pretty village of Broadway affords many pleasant examples of stone-built houses with quaint decorative qualities.” From the end of this month, you too will be able to travel there by train to enjoy the picturesque scenery and the pretty village.

Maggie’s provides free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer ideas and ethos are very much alive in the 22 centres around the country today.
The idea for the Maggie’s charity came from a lady called Maggie Keswick Jencks in Edingburgh. Maggie was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and whilst she felt that the doctors who looked after her and the treatments she received were fantastic, she also felt that once diagnosed she had nowhere to go where she could have space and time to think, talk and get support. In 1996, the first Maggie’s centre was opened in Edinburgh. Sadly, Maggie (despite being involved in the design and planning of the centre) died shortly before the centre opened but her thoughts,
Maggie’s Cancer Care Centre in Cheltenham is a place people can go to for help and support with any of the problems or challenges that they face after a diagnosis of cancer. Under one roof, they can access cancer information from our Cancer Support Specialists (who have a nursing background), benefits advice and psycho-social support – either individually or within one of the many groups and courses we offer. These groups include a Men's club, fitness sessions, carers support courses, relaxation sessions and complementary therapies. A copy and explanation of our programme can be accessed via our website www.maggiescentres/cheltenham, our Facebook page (Cheltenham Maggies) or by coming to see us at the centre. You don’t have to make an appointment or be referred, just drop in! Everything we offer is free of charge, including the cups of tea and, of course, the cake! Come and meet our small professional team of Cancer Support Specialists, benefits advisors, psychologists and fundraisers. Maggie’s is not just about the person living with cancer but also about looking after those who
Page 18
love and support that person – be that a friend, partner, colleague, parent, child or carer. We know that carers can often feel as frightened and vulnerable as those living with the disease. Someone is diagnosed with cancer every two minutes, and it is estimated that by 2020 half of us will be affected by cancer at some point in our lives. In October, Maggie’s Cheltenham will celebrate its 8th birthday. To date we have welcomed over 60,000 people through our doors, 15,000 last year alone from across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Maggie’s philosophy is ‘don’t lose the joy of living in the fear of dying’. If you know or hear of anyone who is living with or supporting someone with cancer, please do let them know about Maggie’s – everyone with cancer should get the support they deserve! For further information please call the centre on 01242 250611 or email Centre Head Sally Hayes on sally.hayes@maggiescentres.org.

Gloucester author becomes a bestseller Gloucester author Rachel Sargeant’s latest novel, The Perfect Neighbours, published in December 2017, has reached the top ten in the Kindle bestseller charts, and number one in the British and Irish Kindle crime chart. The novel explores the tensions that arise when a newcomer peers below the polite veneer of an apparently close-knit, expat community and finds something toxic buried beneath. When Helen Taylor moves to Germany with her loving husband Gary, she can’t wait to join the community of British teachers from the local International School. But her new start is about to become her worst nightmare and Helen quickly discovers that the perfect neighbours tell the perfect lies. As soon as the charming family across the way welcomes Helen into their home, she begins to suspect that all is not as it seems. Her unease turns to panic when Gary starts to behave strangely and a child goes missing, vanished without a trace. It’s not long before violence and tragedy strike.
With cracks appearing in the cosy neighbourhood, Helen realises her perfect neighbours are capable of almost anything. The book is available from Amazon and the HarperCollins website.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Rachel Sargeant grew up in Lincolnshire. The Perfect Neighbours is her third novel. She is a previous winner of Writing Magazine’s Crime Short Story competition and has been placed or shortlisted in various competitions, including the Bristol Short Story Prize. Her stories have appeared in My Weekly and the Accent Press Saucy Shorts series. Rachel has a degree in German and Librarianship from Aberystwyth University and a Masters in Creative Writing from Lancaster University. She spent several years living in Germany where she taught English and
now lives in Gloucester with her husband and children. To find out more about Rachel and her writing, please visit her website: www.rachelsargeant.co.uk Twitter: https://twitter.com/ RachelSargeant3 Facebook: www.facebook.com/ rachelsargeantauthor/

Beware of Bargains You might notice that products you’ve seen advertised are available for less online. Places like eBay and Amazon Marketplace are packed with sellers offering very similar and cheaper products, but beware: many are knock-offs of other people’s products, and some are very poorly made. If the moral argument against buying from copycats — in some cases the same Chinese factories that make the original products either make the cheap copies or pass on the blueprints to neighbours who do the job instead — doesn’t move you, think about reliability and safety: inferior cables wear away and there have been countless cases of poor quality e-cigarettes, mobile phone chargers and laptop batteries going on fire. Sometimes internet bargains really are too good to be true, and when it comes to electrical safety we always recommend official, EU-approved products.

Well, I wasn’t expecting that! I had a phone call yesterday afternoon. It was from ‘Guy’ at the RFU’s Injured Player’s Foundation. Last autumn I offered to run the London Marathon for them, but they had no spaces. That was that until the phone call. A couple of runners had dropped out and I was next on their list - did I still want to run? I’d said ‘yes’ and put the phone down before I’d realised that the race is only three months away. Eek! Lots of training - and fundraising to do before then.
Who am I? My name is David Bath. I am 22 and have lived in Bredon all my life. I have worked at The Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury for the last three years as a technician.
Why run? Two years ago I ruptured my right knee’s anterior cruciate ligament. Before then my main sport had been rugby. But the knee required serious surgery and a lot of physiotherapy, so no rugby for a year at least. I’d lost a lot of muscle in my right leg and took to the gym. I gave myself a goal of running the Tewkesbury half marathon. I enjoyed the training and got such a buzz from the run that I came home and entered the London Marathon.
Why the RFU IPF? I joined Bredon Rugby Club aged 9 and have loved it from the start.

to how they can help the player with their recovery or adjustment to a new life. As part of their work IPF also funds research, training and education programmes to help prevent injuries. See rfuipf.org.uk
It has given me fitness and fun but also encouragement and belief, which is important in your teenage years. I started to help with the coaching when I was 18.

What is the Injured Players Foundation?
Speaking as Chairman of Bredon Star RFC., I can confirm that the club fully endorses David in his commitment to run the London Marathon in support of this very worthwhile charity.
Rugby is a very physical game you have to get stuck in. Injuries do happen. I’ve been out of action a few times myself. The IPF gives support and information to rugby players who have suffered a catastrophic spinal cord or traumatic brain injury which has resulted in permanent disability whilst playing rugby in England at any level and at any age. IPF support is available to help players through recovery, rehabilitation, and for the rest of their life. IPF also provides family members, clubs and teammates with the information and support following such incidents, particularly in relation
What sets this charity apart from many others is that 100% of your financial support goes directly to supporting injured players and towards funding injury prevention research as the RFU covers all of the overheads and administration costs. With limited NHS budgets available, this charity can provide additional funding/support to aid the rehabilitation process. This can make a huge difference for each family concerned. I have personally known David all his life and have seen first-hand how his commitment and enthusiasm has contributed to our Village and Rugby Community. Long may this continue as he an excellent role model for the young people of today. - Kevin Falvey

Puckrup Hall Golf Club rounds off charity partnership on £19,000 high
for a fun afternoon to enjoy a pig roast, bouncy castle and a vintage ice-cream van, which attracted as many grownups as children!” “The party was followed by a presentation of the winners of the day, a raffle and auction which altogether raised £9420 for Sue Ryder. Everyone involved in organising the day was thrilled with how generous everyone was.”
Front row left to right: Men's captain Phil Schiaffino, Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Community Fundraising Manager Kelly Rumble and Ladies' Captain Ros Fenny Back row left to right: Club members Andrew Pearson, Sam Schiaffino and Jo Colman as they presented their final fundraising cheque at the hospice The Captains, members and families of Puckrup Hall Golf Club in Tewkesbury have recently rounded off a year of incredible fundraising by presenting Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice with a cheque for £19,423.55! The club captains both took the decision of supporting the local hospice as their charity of the year after visiting and hearing first-hand about the specialist care the hospice gives. Men’s Captain Phil Schiaffino said, “Sue Ryder have supported many of the past and present captains, members, families and friends of the club, both directly and indirectly. Neil Annis, a member of the Hospice at Home Team at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice, is a close friend and member of Puckrup so we knew firsthand the amazing work Sue Ryder do.” Teeing off their fundraising activities with a Captain’s drive in and drive out in January last year, held at the stunning course on the outskirts of Tewkesbury, the Men’s and Ladies’ captains Phil Schiaffino and Ros Fenney have supported the hospice by organising a year-long programme of fundraising events and activities at the club. Charity quiz nights, raffles, auctions, a Captains’ Day and a charity dinner in November coupled with matchPage 30
funding from employers and a very generous anonymous donation have seen the club raise over £19,000 for the local hospice. Phil adds, “My wife, Sam Schiaffino with my sister Jo Colman and Andrew Pearson have also manned the Halfway House, a shed between the 8th and 14th holes, serving tea, coffee, cakes and savouries 28 times throughout the year raising funds for the hospice. Allegedly they serve the best bacon rolls in the county and a quarter of a tonne of bacon was cooked on two camping stoves over the year!” Sam said “We couldn’t have done all the baking ourselves so we asked the members and their partners to support us which they all did in abundance. We were overwhelmed to have had this support and felt that it made our fundraising year inclusive to members and non-members alike.” Phil added, “The highlight of the year was Captains’ Day which was a day for all the members, their families and friends. The halfway house was open and there were competitions on various holes around the course to support fundraising and we roped in our families and friends to help out on the day. Once the golf was finished members’ families and friends met up
“Sam’s employer, Npower, matched £500 of funding and we also received match-funding of £2,900 from Zurich who is Jo’s employer. We are all so proud to have been involved with the fundraising which would not have been as successful as it was without the support from our baking community and the extra pairs of hands we roped in – both members and non-members. Our final total was very close to £20,000 and well ahead of the £15,000 target we had set ourselves." Kelly Rumble, Community Fundraising Manager at Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice said, “We are absolutely blown away by the kindness and generosity of the Captains and members of Puckrup Golf Club raising this incredible amount for our hospice. This will help our team of expert nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, family support workers and volunteers deliver over 1,080 hours of care for local people living with life-limiting conditions. It will make a huge difference to local families and for this everyone at the hospice shares their heartfelt thanks to all those who have supported the club in their fundraising over the past year.” For more information on Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice visit sueryder.org/Leckhampton For more information on the Puckrup Hall Golf Club visit www.puckruphallgolfclub.co.uk
