Dear Residents During the months of September and January many people return from holiday after lazing in the summer sun or lazing on the sofa during the Christmas break when they’ve had time; time to think, time to make plans and make decisions. They might decide to look for a new job, decorate, take up a hobby or get fit. With me, I can’t help mentally re-organising the furniture in my house usually resulting in a trip to Ikea!

However, if one of those decisions was to lose weight then this is a great time of year to join a gym, running club (see p5), or not go on a diet, but change your diet. I’ve tried many diets over the years but got fed up counting calories, weighing food or following that diet sheet stuck to the fridge door. At last, after watching my best friend and co-publisher of Discover lose 2 stone, I’ve changed what I eat, too. The core rule is avoiding high carbohydrate foods such as bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and also - surprisingly - grapes, bananas, pulses and skimmed milk. I eat at much as I want and I’ve lost about 10lbs so far but also the heavy feeling I get after eating bread and I feel more energetic. If you are interested in trying it, Tania has written an article about it on page 7. Best wishes,
Melanie

Discover your toes
Tania Houston - Publisher, Discover Magazines
Like so many people – women particularly – i’ve always been very conscious of controlling my weight. Despite this, every year i’ve gained an extra pound or two and no amount of exercise or cutting down ever seemed to make a difference. Following a routine health check, i was classified as overweight and the obese grading was alarmingly close. Obviously, if i carried on as i was (ie dieting plus, i admit, a weakness for sweet food) i’d just continue to grow. i’m a methodical person in nature and love researching the internet so i set out to understand why so many in the West have a weight and appetite control problem. What i discovered has changed my eating pattern/relationship with food.
I began to eat more food, more frequently than I ever did, and week by week the weight just disappeared. This didn’t feel like a diet, it just felt good to eat healthy food, rarely feel hungry, and to be free of thinking about food all the time – it was so liberating. In 3 months, I’ve dropped two dress sizes and I’m confident I’ll never be overweight again – a year ago I’d never had believed I could ever say that. Of course everyone wants to know ‘what is it then?’ It’s best to understand why it works but if I could sum it up in a couple of lines I’d say: • Stop eating grains – rice, bread, pasta, leave out the potatoes, don’t eat sugar • Start eating more real unprocessed food, increase the fat in your diet Make this your way of eating, not a diet to be given up as soon as possible. As I was asked by so many friends and family for information on what I discovered I set up a website and blog. Want to know more? Go to www.discoveryourtoes.co.uk.

Burns Supper
January always seems a bit of an anticlimax after December: the weather’s just as filthy and the days are just as glum, but the supply of parties seems unaccountably to have dried up. But if you feel starved of excuses to celebrate, don’t worry. You need only wait until January 25th, when the same inventive Scots who gave you Hogmanay and the first hangover of the year proudly present Burns Night. Rabbie Burns (1759-96), pictured, came from a family of small-to-middling Ayrshire farmers who, although far from wealthy, made sure he got a good education. Don’t let the vernacular folksiness of his poetry fool you: Burns was a proficient linguist and classical scholar with a sophisticated and well-stocked mind. As a young man he seemed to be a solid citizen, working on the farm and joining the Freemasons. But already he was showing signs of what was to become his great weakness: the lassies. In his mid-teens he was writing love songs – his earliest surviving work, O Once I Loved a Bonnie Lass, dates from 1774 when he was 15. After his father died in 1784 he went off the rails. In 1785 he made his mother’s maid pregnant; and in March 1786 an old flame, Jean Armour, gave birth to his twins. In April he claimed to have married her by folk custom; but in May he married Mary Campbell, again in a traditional ceremony of exchanging Bibles. In June he repudiated them both; and in October Mary, who was carrying his child, died of typhus. By then Rabbie had already set his cap at a married woman, Nancy MacLehose. They conducted a steamy affair, but only by letter; so Rabbie consoled himself with her maid, who bore him a son the following year. By that time, though, he was back with Jean: they married in February 1788 and Rabbie’s wild days were over. While this was going on, his first book was published and was an instant hit. He was broke at the time, as well as romantically overentangled, and had secured a job in Jamaica: indeed the book was meant to pay for his passage. But its success changed his mind and after marrying he settled down as a customs official in Dumfries, continuing to turn out poetry and collections of folk songs. Alas, his health was poor, and on 21st July 1796, just as things seemed to be going right, he died. His fame continued to spread posthumously, and his friends started holding commemorative dinners on the anniversary of his death. In 1801 the first Burns Club was founded and switched the date to his birthday. Actually they got the date wrong, so the first Burns Night was held on January 29th 1802. The date was subsequently changed to the correct one; but the format of a proper Burns Supper has remained pretty much the same. Here’s how you do it. First you have whisky as an aperitif. Then you sit down and say the Selkirk Grace (Google it!) before tucking into a traditional Scottish soup – cock-a-leekie or Scotch broth – accompanied by whisky. Then the piper pipes in the haggis which, after reciting the appropriate poem (again, Google it!), you toast with whisky. The haggis is eaten accompanied by mashed potatoes, mashed parsnips, and whisky. Dessert should be something like cranachan, a mixture of oatmeal, raspberries (optional), and cream beaten with whisky. Then you toast the Queen, the poet, the host and the lassies, in whisky. Finally you each read out a Burns poem, fortified before hand with whisky. You’re getting the idea, aren’t you? There’s an awful lot of whisky involved – more whisky, in fact, than Burns himself probably saw in his lifetime. The spirit was only legalised in 1784 and remained a Highland speciality for many years after; as a Lowlander, Burns would have seen far more brandy than whisky. Anyway, if it’s all too much whisky for you, you could always substitute Irn Bru

Do you know this man? iF you suffer from myopia – short sightedness – you will almost certainly have tried contact lenses at some point. They really are a revolution for so many people, giving you normal sight, with better peripheral vision than glasses offer and none of the problems such as steaming up or dirt. Certainly if you do any sort of sport, you probably couldn’t imagine life without them. But you are putting something directly in your eye, so the fit and care of your lenses is a really important part of using them. Roy Hampson, acknowledged as one of the globally acclaimed group of British contact lens pioneers, began fitting contact lenses in Southampton when he opened the first Optique practice in Bedford Place early in 1985. Other practices in Bitterne and Totton soon followed and by the time he sold the business in 2010, Optique had grown to six practices all in the Southampton area. Roy had fitted contact lenses to an incredible 15,000+ Southampton people. The really good news is that Roy and his wife Lynne have set up an entirely new practice in Chandlers Ford. Hampson Opticians Ltd is where he continues to fit contact lenses, welcoming new and existing wearers to his skillful care. Hampson Opticians also conducts full eye examinations and has a vibrant range of superb glasses frames all at very low prices. Roy actively supports the competitive supply of contact lenses especially over the internet. Consequently he is very shortly going to be launching his website to enable you to do that. In the meantime, please call or pop in and you’ll find you’ll be able to buy now at the prices he will be offering online (prescription details required).

Timsbury & Michelmersh
Historical note... Timsbury derives its name from ‘timber + byrig’ meaning timber fort or manor. Similarly, Michelmersh derives its name from ‘micel + mersc’ meaning a large marsh. St Mary’s church at Michelmersh is of 12th century origin. It is alleged that Henry V rested his troops in Agincourt Field, situated just below the church, before their embarkation to France as part of the Hundred Years War. These troops it is said were fielded at the famous battle of Agincourt in 1415.
Walk distance 3.9 miles Timsbury is situated on the A3057 Romsey to Stockbridge road a few miles north of Romsey. Park in Jubilee Hall car park at Timsbury which is sign posted from the A3057. Alternatively, park in the small lay-by just past the hall on the right hand side of the road. The Jubilee Hall should not be confused with the village hall in Heron Lane shown on the OS 131 map. Leave the car park and turn right along the road. Turn right onto a signed footpath and walk along the gravel track. At a fork in the track, keep right and walk past Hunts Farm. Emerge onto a road and turn right. Walk past the farm where the road is joined by another road from the right. Keep straight on for approximately 50 yards then climb the bank on your right onto a footpath running parallel to the road. The footpath descends to the road again adjacent to a pair of metal gates either side of the road. Continue straight on along the road. As the road turns sharp right, cross over a stile onto a signed footpath leading into a field. Continue straight ahead following the fence line and ignoring any crossing tracks. As the track bears left into a field, continue straight ahead onto a signed footpath through a woodland fringe with a field to your left initially then a field on your right. Cross a stile into a field walking along the right hand boundary on top of a ridge. The path drops down off the ridge to a stile. Cross the stile into a copse. Emerge from the copse into a field. Walk along the left hand fence line.
18
Cross a stile at the field boundary, turn left and cross a second stile to follow the right hand fence line of a field. The track goes straight on initially and then starts to veer left away from the fence. As the farm track starts to turn away left, look for a stile slightly diagonally right in the far hedge line. It is situated some 100 yards from the right hand corner of the field. Cross the stile onto a gravel track, then cross two further stile directly opposite to emerge into a field.
The original footpath here has been ploughed out, so follow the left hand field boundary to the field edge then turn right keeping the fence to your left. At a ‘T’ junction of paths, turn left onto a signed footpath across the centre of the field. Cross a stile into another field and follow the left hand fence line to the opposite side of the field. Cross a stile onto a gravel track and turn left. Follow the track to its junction with a tarmac road. Turn right to Manor Farm. Walk through the farm going straight on along a gravel track as it rises slightly uphill. At a pair of private dwellings, the track turns sharp right. Continue
straight on into what appears to be the entrance drive to the left hand bungalow. As you reach the gates, cross a stile on the right hand side to walk between the two properties. Cross yet another stile into a field. Walk across the field to a signpost located in the field centre. Ignore the path bearing left from this post, continue straight on to the field boundary. Cross a stile into a copse. Follow the path through the woodland and emerge into Agincourt Field. Follow the right hand fence line and go through a kissing gate into Mottisfont church graveyard. Cross the graveyard to a pair of wooden gates. Go through the gates and turn left away from the church. Go through another kissing gate and follow the path across the field to its far boundary. Follow the path through copse and emerge onto a grass and gravel track with gardens to your right. Follow the track to a kissing gate beside a metal gate. Pass through the gate to emerge onto a road. Turn right onto the road. At a ‘T’ junction, turn left and then right. Follow the road back to your car.

Model Boating lake Did you know about the Model Boating Lake at Southampton Common. This unassuming concrete lined lake is actually the reason Southampton Common is a SSSI - due to a population of Great-crested Newts. It is drained every winter to kill off any fish such as Sticklebacks that may have made it in to the pond that may prey on the newts. This also makes it good for dragonflies and damselflies as their larvae are also eaten by small fish.

Rum’s Eg Did you know that Rum’s Eg was the Old English name for Romsey? rOmSey has a new arts and crafts exhibition and saleroom. The light and airy gallery at 27 Bell Street is crammed with ceramics, jewellery, sculpture and paintings by local artists at prices ranging from affordable pocket money pieces to very reasonably priced original artwork. if you want to buy an imaginative gift then rum’s eg is the place to go – and unique wrapping paper and cards are available too. Of course, you could just treat yourself to something to cheer up a dull corner at home, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee in the art Café. The Hampshire Arts and Crafts Community Interest Project (CIC) was formed in May 2012 by Directors Siriol Sherlock (who is widely recognized as one of the world’s top contemporary botanical artists) and Annie Jeffrey (a local sculptor whose work reflects her interests in human, equine and botanical shapes). As well as being a much needed permanent

showcase and sales point for Hampshire-based artists, Rum’s Eg will run workshops for various groups within the community including disadvantaged children and adults with disabilities. Facilities will be provided for groups to learn from the skills and experience of artists and craftspeople who are already showcasing their work in the gallery. The opening night and first week of trading for this brilliant venture was a roaring success and the Gallery was able to extend the Christmas Exhibition opening into January instead of closing on 22 December and reopening in February. They had to restock with artworks! On the opening night Waitrose donated £10,000 from their Community Matters Fund which will pay for the refurbishment of the second floor of Rum's Eg to include The Leckford Art Studio and Longstock Meeting Room.
