Welcome to the village directory Hi everyone, It’s Chocolate time! Just as I’ve managed to knock off a few of the pounds I gained at Christmas, Easter arrives with all the temptation of chocolate. When I was young I was fussy about the flavours and types I enjoyed but these days, in my more mature years, my taste has broadened to the point where any chocolate is a delight, whether it’s milk or plain, with almost anything in the centre (not Turkish Delight!) I will put my feet up and enjoy a moment or two in that world where the Cadbury’s Flake girl used to stroll (now I’m showing my age!).

that. It’s time to clear out those cupboards, spring clean, decorate or, weather permitting, begin to tackle the garden. I’m sure we will all be busy bees in one way or another, whether your focus is on social or domestic activities you’ll find ideas and help within these page. Why not check out some of our new advertisers. Have a great Easter ~

Debbie

Mowgli Hello Everyone, Mowgli here. I hope you are all well and pleased that winter seems to be over. Things continue to be as chaotic as ever here. We are all quite used to the new house now and Josh is growing apace (that is the polite way of saying he is quite fat. He even weighs more than Ebony now and that takes some doing!)

8

Last month I wrote that Ebony and I were quite pleased with Joshua. This has now changed a bit as he has been quite unkind to me. Quite a few weeks ago Jane was feeding him in the rocking chair and I was obediently sitting at her feet waiting for her to finish when the baby suddenly vomited all over me! I was soaked and very unhappy. Clive washed and dried me but I was miserable all night and decided to sleep with Louis the tortoise rather than on their bed. However, by the next morning I was feeling very much better and decided to forgive Josh so I went and found him and Jane and purred and snuggled up to them. And do you know what that baby did? He did the same again, but even more this time. He hasn’t been sick again since but I think he knew exactly what he was doing! I am a little bit wary of him now but I still queue up for the 3 hourly hug on the sofa when Josh gets fed. I just make sure I move quickly if he looks like he might be sick. We had another baby come to visit the other day but he was older and able to crawl and do you know what he did? He ate our cat biscuits! The cheek of it! But quite good in the end as we got extra as compensation........ I haven’t written much about the goats recently. That is because they have been unusually good. However, it seems they were just plotting. One afternoon last week Jane put the kettle on to make a cup of tea. Just before it boiled the house fused and the trip

switch flicked off. After that every time she tried to do anything in the house the trip switch went. Andy called in on his way home from the Clinic to have a look and by the time he arrived everything was normal. It was a bit odd but then things are always a bit odd around here and we are all used to it! However, when Clive came home and went to feed the goats all became clear. The silly goats had used their horns to pull the electric cable powering their light from the wall of their shed and it seems that Dennis had got the cable stuck on his horn and had twisted it around and around and around until the wire snapped. There was an amazing mess and a lot of ruined cable plaited with brown goat hair! He must have been doing this when Jane was boiling the kettle, causing it all to trip. By the time Andy arrived he must have broken the cable so that everything was relatively normal. Dennis is very lucky he wasn’t burnt to a crisp. I tell you, goats are so stupid! The wire has been put back but even higher on the wall so the silly creatures won’t reach it again. I’m not as confident as Clive though- there is no end to their stupidity and I bet they try again!

Clean and Fresh Clear the clutter, sort your stuff and make everything in y your home spick and span – your home will feel bright and revitalised, and so will you, says Katherine Sorrell

10

Do you have clutter in your cupboards, or fur balls all over your floor? Does your fridge need defrosting, do your windows need washing and your sink require a good scrub? Are you closer to being the goddess of grime than the queen of clean? Spring sunshine is notorious for pointing out the flaws – whether they be major or minor – in your housework routine, and now could be the ideal time to don your apron, snap on your Marigolds and refresh your home from top to bottom. They call it spring cleaning, but in fact there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have a good clear-out, shake-down and wash-up at any time of the year. Or, if you really can’t bear the thought of tackling every room at once (and let’s face it, we’re not all so domestically inclined), you could divide it into manageable tasks, and spend perhaps an hour a week – or

else tackle one room at a time – until your home feels truly transformed. Having decided to make a fresh start, where should you begin? The obvious place is with a good, old-fashioned tidy up, paying attention to all your tables, shelves, floors and other surfaces, inside kitchen and bathroom cupboards, bedroom wardrobes and chests of drawers, and anywhere else that mess has gradually accumulated. Once you have cleared the space, you are almost ready to begin. But not quite. Good preparation will, in the long run, really pay off. Make a list of what needs doing (this may be rather time-consuming, but will be worth it in the end) and allocate some time for each chore. Then dig out appropriate clothing. What to wear will depend on the task at hand, and the types of tools and cleaners you’ll be using, but should include an old shirt

and trousers, and could also mean rubber gloves, sturdy shoes, a headscarf, overall or apron and a dust mask or safety goggles. Next, assemble your equipment – from brooms and scrubbing brushes to buckets and cloths. Having it all ready beforehand will save time and effort later. And the last piece of preparation is to find the cleaning products you’ll require, including an allpurpose household cleaner, washing-up liquid, furniture polish, non-chlorine bleach, anti-mildew tile and bath cleaner and window cleaner. Store them in a heavy-duty caddy with a handle. At last, you’re ready to begin. Refer back to your list of what needs doing – you’ll see it divides into five main areas: vacuuming, dusting, mopping/scrubbing, washing and wiping, and polishing. There will also be specific tasks which vary from room


to room, such as turning mattresses, spot-cleaning upholstery, cleaning the oven, defrosting the fridge, descaling the shower head and beating rugs. Now is also a good time to sort out those less frequently required jobs such as steam-cleaning the carpets or having the chimney swept. Before you embark, bear in mind the basic principles of cleaning: work from top to bottom (dust the light fitting before polishing the table beneath) and tackle dry before wet (vacuum before mopping, obviously). As you work, try to be organised, whether you work one room at a time, or one task at a time. Put some music on and really throw yourself into

it. Once you start, you may well find that you enjoy the entire process far more than you ever thought you would. With a little forethought, preparation and organisation, spring cleaning can be a rewarding activity that will restore your home to its rightful place as a peaceful haven that is well-kept, tidy and gleamingly, squeaky clean.

Seasonal Delights

Spiced Rack of Lamb with Fragrant Rice

Serves 4

Ready in 1 hour Perfect for a spring Sunday lunch or stylish supper this quick and easy lamb dish is full of flavor. Choose a couple of meaty racks of lamb from a good butcher and score the layers of fat before spreading with the harissa paste. Serve with a cooling garlic and mint yoghurt sauce.

12

Ingredients: • 1 tbsp harissa paste (see Tip) • 2 trimmed racks of lamb, each with 6 bones • 2 red onions, peeled and cut into slim wedges • 50g butter • 225g basmati rice, rinsed and drained • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed • 750ml vegetable stock • Generous pinch saffron strands • 50g sultanas • 40g flaked almonds, lightly toasted • 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds

Tip: Harissa paste is a fiery hot North African blend of red chilli peppers and spices – just a little goes a long way so use sparingly. You’ll find it in small jars near the dried herb and spice sections in most large supermarkets.

Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas 6. Spread the harissa paste over the lamb racks. Place the racks in an oiled roasting tin and add the onion wedges. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes depending on how pink you like your lamb. Remove from the oven. Cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes – the lamb will be juicier and easier to carve. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a heavy-based pan until melted and foaming. Add the rice and garlic. Fry gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the rice is translucent. Pour in the stock. Add the saffron and bring to the boil, stirring. Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 15-20 minutes without removing the lid until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat. Fork through to separate the grains. Add the sultanas, flaked almonds and pomegranate seeds. Carve the lamb racks into individual cutlets and serve immediately with the fragrant rice and roast onion wedges.

We Are Family

16

My Family and Other Animals: Gerald Durrell Eccentric but enchanting, Durrell recalls his blissful childhood growing up on a Greek Island. Scorpions and snakes abound, as well as colourful characters and the all-round air of plain bonkersmadness that we associate with family life. Chaotic and hypnotic, this book is hugely funny and hasn’t lost any of its appeal over the years. Little Women: Louisa May Alcott Never were there such devoted sisters…until you add domestic turmoil, death and boys into the mix. Amy, Beth, Jo and Meg are the March sisters growing up during the Civil War era. Jo doesn’t want to cut her hair off and Meg doesn’t want to be a governess, but you have to admit that Beth comes off worst! It’s an all-American classic and is a definite must-read for any teenage girl, whether you have sisters or not. The Awakening: Kate Chopin This is the hopeless tale of New Orleans housewife Edna Pontellier who struggles like a caged bird, batting against the bars and confines of domesticity. There was little empathy for the character when the book was first published and certainly she can be read as a very selfish protagonist, but subsequent

For kids, April means the Easter holidays. Time for enforced fun, ill-fated camping trips and long drives squished in the back of the car, with your siblings breathing in your face. We’ve picked some of the best books about family life and how to survive. Two weeks off…are we there yet?

generations have come to recognise Edna’s plight, her need for a sensuous relationship and ultimately, her freedom. Everybody Jam: Ali Lewis The Dawson family is used to harsh climates and tough situations: they run a cattle station in Australia’s Northern Territory. Plagued by drought, this year’s ‘muster’ will be another battle with the elements. But there’s more to contend with than the outdoors this year. Eldest son Jonny has been killed but no one talks about it, 14 year old Sissy is pregnant after ‘rooting’ with an Aboriginal lad and there’s a new Pommie house girl who can’t even make toast. Told through the eyes of 13 year old Danny, it’s a story of a strong clan who overcome adversity and survive, way out in the outback. The Red House: Mark Haddon How do siblings become total strangers? Brought together by the death of their mother, Angela and her brother Richard have only really communicated through phone calls for the last decade or so. Now Richard has invited Angela and her growing brood to spend a week with them in deepest darkest Wales. The book flits between characters but once you’re into the rhythm of how these two families tick, it’s a great read that’s full of sibling-

rivalry, trips and falls down memory lane and getting to know each other all over again. We Need to Talk About Kevin: Lionel Shriver This is the shocking and disturbing story of a family torn apart when the eldest son carries out a massacre at his school. It’s powerfully told through a series of letters written by his mother, Eva to her husband Franklin as she tries to come to terms with the atrocities carried out by Kevin. It brings up all kinds of questions about nature versus nurture and how siblings and parents impact on each other’s lives. Throughout the book we can begin to piece together exactly what took place in the high school gym, but it still won’t prepare you for the startling conclusion. Quite simply, a brilliant thriller.

Tenants in common is most suited if you are putting unequal amounts of money into the property and you want this to be reflected in your shares of ownership. The following few examples may reflect your situation: 1. If you are contributing towards your offspring’s first home you may want to hold a share in the property as tenants in common. Your solicitor could prepare a trust deed to reflect the share you have contributed, how and when you will be repaid and who will be responsible for the property. When the property is sold you will be entitled to the share of the sale proceeds as stated in the trust deed. 2. When buying a house with your partner it is best to discuss how you want to hold the ownership of the property. It may be unromantic but it can prevent any legal battles in the future. Where partners are not married it is more common to hold as tenants in common and to have a trust deed. If you have contributed in unequal shares it is important a trust deed is drafted stating what shares are agreed.

wit & wisdom

because Mr. Gorsky had died, so Neil Armstrong felt he could now answer the question. Here is the answer to “who was Mr Gorsky”: In 1938, when Armstrong was a kid in a small mid-western town, he was playing baseball with a friend in their backyard. His friend hit the ball, which landed in his neighbour’s yard by their bedroom window. His neighbours were Mr. and Mrs.Gorsky.

On July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 lunar module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words after stepping on the moon were, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” It was televised to earth and heard by millions.* But just before he re-entered the lander to come back to earth he made the enigmatic remark “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.”

It broke the place up. Neil Armstrong’s family confirmed this is a true story.

Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet cosmonaut, however, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.

Crossword Solution

Over the years, many people questioned Armstrong as to what the - ‘Good luck, Mr. Gorsky’ statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26-year-old question about Mr Gorsky to Armstrong. This time he finally responded

As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs Gorsky shouting at Mr Gorsky, “Sex! You want sex?! You’ll get sex when that kid next door walks on the moon!”

For Sale 2004 Vauxhall Signum 2.2 Direct Auto. Bargain at ÂŁ1795 ono. Large boot, lots of leg room, the rear seats fold flat for larger items. Half leather interior, Aircon, CD player, electric windows, Cruise Control, Privacy Glass, etc etc. 89k on the clock but had a replacement engine so the current engine has only done around 50k. In the last few weeks fitted a new Catalytic Converter and new front disks and pads. There are no lights on the dash, it starts and stops perfectly and the gearbox is all working correctly, tires are all good as well. The only niggle is a bit of wear on the drivers seat bolster which I have covered with tape to stop it getting any worse, other than that it is in good condition. This is a practical and comfortable car and as you can see from the pictures the body work is in good condition with just a couple of minor age related marks here and there.
