Our Magazines: The Directories:
Dear Readers, As we head into February, we are already beginning to see the lighter mornings and longer evenings ahead of us – and we’re certainly feeling positive about it! This February, we are focusing on Self- Love. After a year of looking after others, it’s important to remember to look after ourselves too! So why not take part in our 28-day self-love challenge! On the subject of self-care, we have also included an article on ‘Breathing Exercises for Stress’. Whether you struggle with stress, anxiety or panic attacks, these breathing exercises are designed to help you in everyday life. This month we celebrate LGBT+ History month! This is a month-long annual celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and non-binary history, including the history of LGBT+ rights and related civil rights movements. You can read more about the history of LGBT on our website and social media pages. Also, in this edition, you can learn how our chosen charity, Fitzroy, transforms the lives of people with learning difficulties and autism, find 100’s of brilliant local businesses, and enjoy the usual Find Barney competition!

Spring into life with a good read The final bitter throes of winter will soon pass, so how about some optimistic, nonfiction reading as February comes into view? Books Do Furnish a Life by Richard Dawkins Including conversations with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Steven Pinker, Matt Ridley; Books Do Furnish a Life is divided by theme, including celebrating nature, exploring humanity, and interrogating faith, bringing together Richard Dawkins’ forewords, afterwords and introductions to the work of some of the leading thinkers of our age. Published by Penguin on February 10th
and primetime TV favourite, reveals for the first time the true story of grit and graft beneath the famous Essex sparkle.
Small Island by Phillip Parker The shape and location of Britain’s landmass has not always been the same, with an identity that’s always been on the move.
In this refreshingly candid memoir, Denise speaks openly and sensitively about her rollercoaster career, from The Big Breakfast in her early twenties to a decade grafting through theatre jobs and children’s TV shows. She describes her challenges offscreen and behind the headlines, as her heart was broken in a very public relationship, with her every move printed in the tabloids thanks to her phone being tapped.
But, by knowing more about the 12 pivotal moments that occurred over a 2,000-year period, we can not only gain a full sense of our British history, but also an understanding of where we are heading, and that’s what Philip Parker reveals brilliantly across 12 defining maps. Published by Michael Joseph on February 17th

What’s Black & White & Read All Over by Gyles Brandreth So… what is black
and white and read all over? An embarrassed penguin, a sunburnt elephant, a newspaper! The reaction to these jokes can circumnavigate the whole spectrum of comedy, from hearty chortles to room-filling groans. In many senses, writer, broadcaster and former politician Gyles Brandreth is going for the latter in this collection with a smorgasbord of some of the best and worst jokes ever (plus a few riddles to keep readers on their toes). From ‘Knock, knock’ to ‘Waiter waiter’, with some funny elephants and giraffes thrown in for good measure, there’s also a bit of expert joke advice, so you can show others just how funny you can be! Or not… Published by Penguin on March 3rd

This calming breathing technique for stress, anxiety and panic takes just a few minutes and can be done anywhere. You can do it standing up, sitting in a chair that supports your back, or lying on a bed or yoga mat on the floor. If you’re lying down, place your arms a little bit away from your sides, with the palms up. Let your legs be straight, or bend your knees, so your feet are flat on the floor. If you’re sitting, place your arms on the chair arms. Whatever position you’re in, place your feet roughly hip-width apart. • Let your breath flow as deep down into your belly as is comfortable, without forcing it. • Try breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth.

• Breathe in gently and regularly. Some people find it helpful to count steadily from 1 to 5. You may not be able to reach 5 at first. • Then, without pausing or holding your breath, let it flow out gently, counting from 1 to 5 again, if you find this helpful. • Keep doing this for 3 to 5 minutes. You will get the most benefit if you do it regularly, as part of your daily routine.

Greenfingers… the Alan Titchmarsh column He’s a brilliant presenter, accomplished gardener, talented novelist and all-round horticultural inspiration. This month, Alan Titchmarsh talks about his favourite things in the garden. I think if a cross-section of people are asked to name the thing in a garden that gives them joy and a feeling of admiration beyond anything else, a good number will choose the rose. Think about it, is there anything else that offers such a breadth of colour, such a contradiction of beauty and danger (in the sense of a seductive flower and the prickly thorns that linger just a few inches down), or that offers a bouquet that has melted the hearts of a thousand romantics! Okay, so yes, a rose sometimes can seem so-andso, perhaps because we embrace them so fully in our lives, and I accept there is something perhaps even a little cliched about the simple rose these
days. However, I will be so bold as to say this - a garden without a fragrant rose isn’t much of a garden at all! For other times of the year, I will pick out certain things that give me incredible satisfaction. I look forward to these coming round, and their emergence is always very special. The first snowdrop in January; the first daffodil in February. These are the types of flowers that mark a change in or a progression of the season, and that always fills me with hope and expectation. You know these beautiful elements will always arrive, but still, it’s a relief when they do! I have also really taken a shine to the aubrieta in recent years. It’s that beautiful tumbling purple spray of miniature-coloured flowers that will cascade off rocks, boulders and other inhospitable lumps in a way that bring them life and beauty. The flowers almost resemble little four-leaf clovers, and perhaps it’s that expression of happiness and love that makes this such a winner in every way. Finally, I would look to the sweet pea. They are just so versatile – sow individually in root trainers or in pots filled with seed compost, choose pretty much any colour across the spectrum, are perfect in borders, and you can even get the seeds in the ground in any range from November through to June. For me, they are the ultimate, and a great pleasure. Of course, tending to a garden is all about personal taste. These are some of my favourites, but I know reading this you may well feel I have it completely wrong. That’s the beauty of gardening – it’s a landscape that’s entirely yours to do entirely what you will with, and we will all agree that’s wonderful.
