Jun/Jul Issue Deadline 1st May

Hi everyone, The sun is shining, the birds are singing and at last, as I write, it seems that spring has finally sprung! Whoopee!

As this magazine arrives we are about to head into the Easter break and our thoughts turn to the long weekend, family get togethers and CHOCOLATE Easter Eggs! I’m sure that a very respectable period of time has now elapsed since Mother’s Day so I’m more than ready for my next chocolate fix. I’m not fussy, milk chocolate or plain, I’m particularly partial to mint or anything with toffee in it - just bring it on!

Easter tends to be the first opportunity we have to get out into the open and enjoy the spring sunshine, I do hope the weather continues to be good throughout the break, it’s just the tonic we need to dispel memories of all that winter rain. For those of you planning to tackle the garden, you should find some help within

these pages, if you do please be sure to let the advertiser know where you found them.

With the garden under control you can sit back, with your Easter Eggs close to hand, and enjoy the fruits of your labour.

As I write a thought just crossed my mind, isn’t it strange that I have no-one advertising chocolate in this magazine? I would make such a good sponsor!

Have a great Easter ~ Enjoy!

Garden

is part of the Romney Marsh visitor Centre site which also has The Art Shack and a replica Lookers hut. The garden was set up with funding from Big Lottery and is there especially for local people from all walks of life to come and make friends, learn new skills and grow plants and produce without the use of chemicals and with wildlife in mind (the site is owned by Kent Wildlife Trust). We have won a Silver award in the Wildlife gardening awards run by Kent Wildlife Trust.

We are part of the unit assessment scheme set up by AQA and 19 volunteers were awarded with certificates last year for skills learnt in the garden. These vary from gardening skills like seed sewing to recycling and health and safety in the horticultural place.

Many young people come to do work experience in the garden from The Princes Trust, Marsh Academy and K College and we are building links with more and more local people.

Garden Shed

Bringing Up Babies

by Pippa Greenwood

and I suggest you choose an odd number, perhaps three, or five for a much larger garden, as this invariably makes a better display than if even numbers of plants are used. It may be tempting to plant too close and although this will provide a better looking display initially, over-crowded plants are less likely to become well established, will have to be moved in the near future and in the meantime will be more prone to numerous diseases.

6

A visit to any nursery or garden centre at this time of year will reveal a brilliant array of herbaceous perennials. Right now they might be small and not look particularly enticing but just take a look at the illustration on the label and you will see that these small plants have great potential. They’re also great value, usually somewhere around the £1.50-£2.50 mark.

It’s essential that newly planted perennials are given that little bit of extra tender loving care.

Small plants such as these are more likely to be prone to any weather extremes and even plants in larger pots should be well established. When you ease the plants out of their pots, if you see a really plentiful supply of roots that usually means you have purchased a good plant.

Check the plant labels to see the ultimate spread of the plant. For the best effect you generally want to grow several individuals of the same species

It’s also essential to plant at the correct depth. With herbaceous perennials you need to make sure that you place the plant in the ground to the same depth that it was in the container and although you may decide to mulch the soil afterwards, do remember not to mulch right up to or over the crown of the plant, as this is likely to lead to poor growth and maybe even dieback.

Weed control is essential and you can either hoe regularly between the plants to prevent the weeds causing competition or you can use a deep mulch or perhaps even place squares of landscape fabric or black polythene around each plant. Do remember however, if you use polythene, rain will not be able to penetrate through it and so the plants are more likely to suffer from drought. With landscape fabric this is not a problem. I’m a great fan of copper-impregnated and coated fabrics as these help to keep weeds and slugs and snails at bay. Once you have dug over the whole bed, then it’s well worthwhile adding a general fertilizer. If you notice that the soil is on the heavy

side, I suggest incorporating plenty of bulky organic matter and grit. Similarly, if the soil is excessively dry, then you could try to improve its texture by incorporating large quantities of any good bulky organic matter.

Once the plants are in position, firm the soil thoroughly and do take care not to compact it if it’s on the heavy side. Regular watering is essential and if the ground is not already quite moist, you should water the plants in well. Check them regularly for signs of any pests or diseases as it will be much easier to stop something in its tracks if you start to take action early on in the season.

Pippa loves growing gorgeous veg and wants to persuade you to as well; visit Pippa’s website www.pippagreenwood.com for the ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ veg growing system where she will send you garden ready plants and weekly advice and tips emails, making veg growing easy, productive and fun.

The History of Trench Watches Part Two

by Ryan at www.fullywound.co.uk While German troops at this time were largely issued the more primitive “pocket watch” design, Allied troops had a wide range of new models to choose from. Many examples featured small silver pocket watch cases fitted with leather straps and displayed radium-illuminated porcelain dials protected by the aforementioned shrapnel guards.

Wristwatches were no longer considered a novelty but were now a wartime necessity, and companies were scrambling to keep up with the demand. One company that enjoyed success during this time was Wilsdorf & Davis, Ltd., founded in 1905, and later renamed The Rolex Watch Company, Ltd., in 1915.

12

Hans Wilsdorf, the founder and director of Rolex, was a strong proponent of wristwatches since the turn of the century. While others scoffed at them, Wilsdorf continued to experiment with their accuracy and reliability. Thus, some would argue that he did more for their advancement than anyone in history. In fact, he is even credited with sending the first wristwatches to the Neuchatel Observatory (Switzerland), for accuracy testing. They all passed the rigorous battery of tests, which encouraged Wilsdorf to push them even further.

Rolex subsequently received the very first wristwatch Chronometer awards from the School of Horology in Bienne (1910), and the Class “A” Certificate of Precision from the Kew Observatory in England (1914). To this day, Rolex watches consistently receive more Chronometer Certificates from the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), than every other watch company in the world, combined.

After the Great War, many soldiers returned home with souvenir trench watches - so named for the

trench warfare in which they were used. When these war heroes were seen wearing them, the public’s perception quickly changed, and wristwatches were no longer deemed as feminine. After all, no one would dare consider these brave men as being anything but.

In the final years of the war, wristwatches began to see numerous improvements. Case makers like Francis Baumgartner, Borgel and Dennison introduced revolutionary designs, which aided in making them more resistant to water and dust. These designs were later improved on when Rolex introduced the first truly waterproof wristwatch, the Oyster, in 1926.

Cake and Bake Banana, Walnut & Chocolate Cake

16

Bananas ripen so quickly that it’s easy to find yourself with several left over needing to be used up. Many people don’t like the taste or smell of ripe bananas though so they often go to waste. However, when baked in a cake they lose their slightly sour smell and give a subtle taste, which is particularly delicious when combined with chocolate and walnuts.

Ingredients:

1.

• 100g butter at room temperature

Preheat the oven to 180C, 160C for fan oven or gas mark 4.

2.

Grease a 900g loaf tin and line with greaseproof paper

3.

Cream the sugar and butter together until fluffy

4.

Add the eggs and the vanilla essence and then the bananas and mix in well

5.

Carefully mix in the flour and bicarb, baking powder and cinnamon so there are no lumps, then fold through the dark chocolate and most of the walnuts.

6.

Pour the batter into the loaf tin and bake for 45-55 minutes until a skewer through the centre comes out clean.

• ½ tsp cinnamon

7.

• 100g Walnuts (Chopped or whole)

Leave on a rack until cool before serving to allow time for the chocolate to set.

8.

Sprinkle with icing sugar and a few more chopped walnuts.

• 100g light brown sugar • 25 grams caster sugar (white or golden) • 2 large eggs • 1 tsp vanilla essence • 3-4 ripe bananas (depending on size), mashed • 175g plain flour • 1½ tsp baking powder • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda

• 75g Dark chocolate chopped or coarsely grated

Hobbies Home Brewing Revival

by Ted Bruning

popular hobbies in the country.

22

Maybe it’s the rubbish they put on the telly these days.

Maybe it’s the fact that computer games are, at bottom, all the same. Maybe it’s because it’s expensive to go out. Who knows? One thing’s for sure, though: crafts and hobbies are making a big comeback.

And not unnaturally, if you’re going to spend all your evenings and weekends bent on the obsessive pursuit of artisanal perfection, you want the end result to be something that you can be proud of and that your friends can enjoy. Marquetry, macramé, sure they’re fine. But nothing beats beer, really; and that’s why home brewing is emerging as one of the most

In days of yore, the main reason why people brewed their own beer was that they were either skint or miserly. Students were the worst offenders, producing vile brews in grimy cupboards that even they could only just force themselves to choke down. Hobbyists who brewed their own would inevitably and gloatingly tell you how much their beer had cost them to brew and would compare it triumphantly to the price of a pint in the pub. “You’d have to be mad to pay that when it costs less than half as much to brew your own!” they would cry, before forcing you to drink some of the stuff.

And as soon as you’d managed to escape, guess where you’d head...

That’s not it any more, though.

These days it’s more to do with lifestyle, and home brewing guru Nigel Sadler puts it down to what he calls the Hugh FearnleyWhittingstall effect. Chelmsfordbased Nigel runs a training company called Learn2brew and says he’s seen interest in home brewing skyrocket in recent years.

“Crafts in general have a much wider appeal now than they used to,” he says. “Home brewing, home winemaking, and home cidermaking have really taken off. Partly it’s because there are now so many microbrewers that people have the chance

to try many different beers and are getting generally more interested in the whole subject.

Partly it’s because TV chefs and lifestyle presenters like Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Heston Blumenthal are encouraging a have-a-go attitude.”

To that potent combination has to be added the miracle ingredient of the modern age: the internet. Twenty years ago, when interest in home brewing was at a low point, Boots – the only national retailer of home brew supplies – reluctantly decided to pull out of the market, leaving it to not much more than a handful of specialist shops and mailorder firms. Many established home brewers suddenly found it hard to get the equipment and ingredients they relied on, and in many places it was all but impossible for a novice to get started. Then the mail-order firms, quickly followed by the independent shops, discovered internet trading. The whole craft took off again; and now Wilkinson, the 400-strong high street discount chain, has taken up where Boots left off.

So now it’s easy to get started.

And at entry level, it’s an easy craft to pursue: you don’t need anything more than a brewing bucket with a tight-fitting lid, a kettle, and a brewing kit comprising a packet of readyhopped malt extract and a sachet of yeast. You don’t need any particular skill, either, and if you just follow the instructions you’re pretty much bound to get a more than passable beer for your efforts.

But be warned! Once you’ve started it’s hard to stop. It’s perfectly possible to bump along at this most basic level for ever and be perfectly satisfied: many people do. But brewing is a seductive business, especially if you’re the type who enjoys browsing the market and sampling different beers. From brewing with kits you venture into trying your own recipes – something stronger and darker for winter, maybe, and paler and more refreshing for summer.

Then before you know it you’ll have graduated from using malt extract into buying whole grains (or full mash, as home brewing buffs say), and from there it’s all too easy to get hooked.

Because once you’ve mastered the basic techniques the beer world really is your oyster.

Fancy a Belgian lambic-style beer, sour and quenching? Or a volcanic barley wine made to a recipe nearly 200 years old?

Or just an inexhaustible supply of everyday quaffing beer? You can have it. And you can have all the shiny equipment your heart desires, too – an insulated thermostatically controlled mash tun; a refrigerated stainless-steel conical fermenting vessel with floating lid; even a paraflow! Or, of course, you can just stick with your bucket... That’s the beauty of home brewing: it can be as simple or as advanced as you like.

sessions and competitions.

There’s a UK Craft Brewing Association as well, which holds its own competition; so one day you might well find yourself being crowned national champion... and toasting your triumph in your own beer!

Is there an independent home brew shop near you? To find out, visit www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk or www.homebrewshops.co.uk

It can be a sociable hobby, too. The local home brew shop (where there is one) tends to turn into a bit of a social centre, as specialist shops so often do; and in most areas there’s a home brewing club that holds troubleshooting

Beauty Fight Premature Ageing

By Helen Taylor

beach, but you might not realise that you need to use it every day. That’s because skin-damaging UV rays are present even when the sun isn’t shining.

If you can’t live without an all-year-round tan, then you’ll need to find an alternative to regular visits to the sunbed. Sunbeds are equally - if not more - damaging than the sun and they’ll leave your skin looking coarse, leathery and wrinkled.

And sun-lovers really must be aware of the damage to their skin, because it doesn’t end there.

Squinting in the sun can, over time, cause crow’s-feet, so always wear sunglasses and ensure that they offer proper protection for your eyes or you may become more prone to cataracts in later life.

ability to heal and make it look sallow, dull and lifeless, because smoking inhibits the blood supply that keeps skin looking healthy.

Wrinkles prematurely begin to form and you start to age quickly compared to your non-smoking friends.

Even if you don’t smoke you are still at risk of these effects if you spend time in smoky atmospheres, so it’s best to steer clear of second-hand smoke altogether.

DON’T PULL YOUR FACE Your mum probably told you that if you pull your face that way it’ll stick that way… well she was right. Repetitive movements like frowning and raising your eyebrows can encourage lines to form earlier than they should.

Ageing is unfortunately an inevitable process for us all, but if you take steps to protect your skin now, you’ll benefit in the future.

Environmental factors play an enormous role in how well - or not - you age, so it’s really important to look at how your current lifestyle might affect your skin in the future.

Those bad health and beauty habits you have now could be exposing you to long-term skin damage and accelerating the ageing process.

But don’t worry, if you take notice of our tips, you’ll stay looking youthful for longer.

KEEP YOUR SKIN SAFE IN THE SUN

Apply sunscreen liberally to every part of your body that’s exposed to the sun. Don’t rely on SPFenhanced make-up alone for your face, it’s likely that you don’t apply enough of the product to fully protect your skin.

And remember the dangers of UV rays go far beyond wrinkled skin, over exposure puts you at risk of developing skin cancer.

TIME TO QUIT

The sun is one of the biggest factors in premature ageing, so you need to ensure that you properly protect against it.

Another lifestyle factor that you need to address for the sake of your skin - and your health - is smoking.

It’s hard to quit, but if you want to curb or prevent the signs of premature aging then it’s a must.

You’ll be well aware of the need for sunscreen when you’re lying on the

The free radicals in cigarette smoke break down collagen, slow the skin’s

It’s good to express yourself, but if you find yourself frequently pulling the same expression make a change now, or expect wrinkles in the future.

GET INTO A ROUTINE Start a skincare routine today.

There’s no better time to start dedicating time in your day to your skin. Invest in a variety of skincare products to help you in your quest to stay looking youthful.

Eye creams, moisturisers and exfoliators are essential.

And don’t forget the value of living a healthy lifestyle. Eating a diet that’s rich in vitamins A, C and E (found in brightly coloured fruit and vegetables) and omega-3 fatty acids (from fish, nuts and seeds) will boost skin from the inside out.
