Karol’s Korner Back to work again!

Having had a wonderful holiday and feeling so relaxed after it, and now the rain! Rain, rain and more rain!

Great weather if you are a duck! By the time you read this its probably sunny again, and the memory of the rain will have gone!

I have to say it was very strange not having internet while I was away, a relic of a bygone era, and far from being relaxing, I found it very stressful, how do you cope when you are without internet?

Summer holidays are around the corner, make sure to take advantage of our Ultimate Summer guide with our next issue, for all the best places to go to and things to do over the summer. Summers my favorite time of the year, bar –b – ques, days at the beach, Wimbledon, strawberries & cream, long balmy summer evenings to spend with friends and a nice glass of wine! Tell us on our fb page your favourite summer activity.

Have a great July!

The Roaming Empire Technology for wherever the path may take you

One of the great things about technology is that it can help you when you’re far from civilisation. It can track your hike, provide the tools you need when you’re far from home or just give your phone a boost so you can listen to music while you explore the great outdoors.

Smartwatches aren’t just for runners and cyclists: there DUH KLNLQJ VSHFL¾F ones too. Look for features such as a barometer (for pressure, to help predict weather changes), altimeter (for altitude) and compass (for directions). Some even have thermometers you can use to help plan what you’re going to wear.

As with all technology, hiking-ready smartwatches differ wildly in price and can be expensive: Garmin’s Fenix 5 is packed with features but it’ll also set you back £449.99. If you’re a serious hiker that’s a worthwhile investment, but if you’re more of a weekend stroller a more modest, more affordable watch that uses your phone for GPS might be a better idea. TomTom’s useful Spark 3, which can track your vitals and record your travels, is currently £110.

For extreme outdoor enthusiasts who think nothing of clambering up the odd terrifying tower, an action camera is a must: it’ll record what you do for those all-important YouTube or Facebook shares later. The GoPro Hero range is the favourite here, but the cameras can be pricey; for example the Hero7 Waterproof model is currently £329. If you’d rather start with something a lot more basic, you can pick up a no-name action camera for as little as £25. Of course you get what you pay for, so you won’t get the features, add-ons or ruggedness of a more expensive 6

device, but they’re a cheap and cheerful way to get surprisingly good video when you’re out and about.

Don’t forget about lower-tech gadgets too, such as the legendary Victorinox Huntsman Swiss Army Knife (£24); with corkscrew, scissors, saw and bottle opener as well as knife blades it’s a perfect multi-tool for all kinds of travel. If you need even more bits, Leatherman’s range of multi-tools has you covered: the £149 Surge may seem expensive but it manages to cram an entire tool chest – screwdrivers, pliers and multiple blades – into an incredibly small space. Simpler and cheaper models are available too.

If you’re using electronic gadgets, sooner or later you’ll encounter the same old problem: battery life. You can’t exactly plug in your phone charger when you’re halfway up a mountain, but what you can do is plug it into a portable battery pack and charge it from that. Battery packs have become much more powerful, portable and affordable in recent years, and it’s possible to get a really good one for very little money. For example, Anker’s PowerCore II Slim can charge a high-end smartphone two or three times from a single charge, and it’s small enough for even the most basic backpack. It’s cheap, too: £25.99. If you need even more power for a longer trip, the 20100 version has double the battery power and currently costs £33 – although it’s a bit heavier at 349g compared to the cheaper unit’s 213g.

WHO ARE THE CHRISTADELPHIANS? “Who are these Christadelphians?” we hear you say. Let us tell you.

They are a community bound together by a common faith in the gospel preached by Jesus Christ and his apostles: and have borne the name “Christadelphian” since the mid-19th century.

Their name encompasses in one word the phrase, “brethren in Christ”, a phrase used by the apostle Paul to describe 1st century Christians.

[Cf. Colossians 1:20].

JULY TALKS 7th July Speaker Mr. D Cave Subject: Israel – a modern miracle

Their faith and teaching stem solely from the Holy Bible, which, as the word of Almighty God, they acknowledge as the sole authority on matters of belief and conduct. They do not believe that any of their members, past or present, have received any special revelation, but that it is the Bible alone that is able to bring men and women to a knowledge of the way of salvation through Jesus Christ.

[CF. 2 Timothy 3:15].

14th July Speaker Mr. P Cox Subject: Wonders in the deep Psalm 107

There has been a Christadelphian community in Newark for over 168 years, and they now meet in their own hall in Cliff Nook Lane, off Appleton gate, NEWARK, NG24 1LY.

21st July Speaker Mr. D Lee Subject: What do Angels do?

On Sunday evenings, commencing at 5.15pm, where the first century Christian gospel is preached, and Bible teaching on aspects of behaviour is examined.

You are warmly invited to join us.

In addition you may wish to log on to our international website: www.thisisyourbible.com.

The Perfect Family Day Out Saturday brings a feast of sport with children’s races, athletics including the spectacle of the 10-mile road race and track cycling. Heckington is celebrating 150 years of cycling at the show this year- almost certainly the oldest cycle race in the world. Watch out for penny farthing racing as well as a national championship competition on a track that has seen Olympic stars such as Laura Kenny and Victoria Pendleton compete for glory.

This Olympian theme continues through Show Sunday with national standard show jumping which includes the prestigious Area Trial.

These fill the ring between some great headline attractions. New for 2019 is Horse Boarding which (a bit scarily) looks to combine the X Games with the Epsom Derby who will star on Saturday along with the Silver Stars Parachute Display team – skydivers are

always a favourite but keep an eye on times as when they are down, they are down. Sunday sees the return of the Big Wheelie Fire Engine promising as ever noise and some real engagement with the younger visitors.

Heckington Show would not be complete without big traditional show contributions. Livestock classes bring scores of Sheep and Cattle, Donkeys and Heavy (Shire) Horses and as ever our layout gives visitors a chance to get close, have a chat with the owners and see what it takes to prepare a show champion. The largest marquee at the village end of the grounds still hosts a horticultural show which prizes for entry categories ranging from perfect produce to bake-off standard cakes to art both floral and painted in format. Every part is a show in itself yet you’re sure to find so much more around the grounds – food and drink, living history displays, all-day music, a

dog show, fairground rides, antiques, rural crafts, activities and of course trade stands. You can buy everything from a garden sculpture and fashion clothing to a new car or garden shed.

The show has a very comprehensive website www.heckingtonshow.org.uk where you can get a full picture and buy tickets for either/both days. You can also find out how to take part – not everyone can win, but you can still say I made that, that time is my personal best, that’s one of our herd, we trained that dog – and thousands of visitors can enjoy your contribution. It’s a weekend that brings people together - family and friends, visitors, competitors, organisers and helpers - all in one rather amazing Lincolnshire village. There must be something here that our politicians and leaders might learn from – let’s hope it doesn’t take them 152 years to realise.

Staying Safe and Well on Holiday The last thing you want when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re enjoying a week or two of relaxation or adventure is an injury or illness. Here are tips for a safe, healthy holiday (and information about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening with EHIC cards and Brexit).

7DNH D žUVW DLG NLW DQG \RXU SUHVFULSWLRQ The NHS recommends this should contain antiseptic, painkillers, wound-cleaning gauze, sterile dressings, bandage tape, plasters, tweezers, scissors, thermometer, antihistamines, sunburn treatment, insect repellent, insect bite treatment and your usual medications, plus condoms and any contraceptives you may need.

A copy of your prescription may be necessary in emergencies or in countries with differing regulations. %HZDUH KHDWVWURNH Heatstroke starts with heat exhaustion and symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, appetite loss, excessive sweating, pale clammy skin, cramps in the arms, legs and stomach, fast breathing or pulse, a temperature of 37C or above and intense thirst.

18

If you think someone is suffering from heatstroke, lay them down in the shade and raise their feet. Remove unnecessary clothing and give them cold drinks. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re no better after 30 minutes or they feel hot and dry, have a temperature of 40°C or above, are breathless/ breathing rapidly, are confused, lose consciousness or have a seizure, call the emergency services.

In-date EHIC cards will be valid until 31st October To avoid heatstroke, stay hydrated, keep your head covered and rest in the shade when the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hottest. %HZDUH VXQEXUQ DQG SURORQJHG VXQ H[SRVXUH By now, we should all be aware of their link to skin cancer, even years later. If children are repeatedly exposed, they could develop skin cancer in later life. â&#x20AC;˘ Seek shade when the sun is strongest. â&#x20AC;˘ Cover your skin (remember fabrics allow UV light through to varying extents).

â&#x20AC;˘ Choose sunscreen with a UVA rating of at least 4 stars and a UVB rating (indicated by the SPF or Sun Protection Factor) of at least 30 (50+ for children). â&#x20AC;˘ Apply sunscreen liberally and frequently. Apply at least two teaspoons of sunscreen to cover your head, arms and neck and two tablespoons to cover your entire body while wearing a swimming costume, 30 PLQXWHV EHIRUH JRLQJ RXW and MXVW EHIRUH JRLQJ RXW â&#x20AC;?More is better,â&#x20AC;? says the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD), who recommend DSSO\LQJ LW DW OHDVW HYHU\ WZR KRXUV afterwards. â&#x20AC;˘ Water can make you feel DUWLžFLDOO\ FRRO DQG WKH BAD warns that water and sand can increase the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radiation.

It will have been compromised by sweating, towel drying and friction. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use expired sunscreen (or in-date sunscreen thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been allowed to get hot or sit in direct sunlight). â&#x20AC;˘ Keep children under 6 months out of strong sunlight completely. â&#x20AC;˘ Take extra care if you have pale skin, freckles, red or fair hair, many moles (look out for new moles, growths or lumps, and size, shape or colour changes to existing moles, freckles or skin patches), skin problems relating to a medical condition, a family history of skin cancer or a tendency to burn rather than tan, and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re are in a hot country with intense sun, or only exposed to intense

Sunburnt? Apply plenty of cold water as soon as possible, then a soothing product like aftersun or calamine lotion. An antiseptic cream that contains local anaesthetic, plus painkillers such as ibuprofen, can help. if you feel unwell or your skin swells badly or blisters, seek medical help.

Avoid the sun until all redness has gone.

3URWHFW \RXU H\HV UV light damages eyes too. As soon as they’re old enough, teach children never to look at the sun. Even on cooler sunny days, adults and children should always wear sunglasses that protect against both UVA and UVB, and have the CE Mark and European Standard EN 1836:2005.

“If the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 31st October 2019, your access to healthcare when visiting an EU country is likely to change,” they warn. “If you are planning to visit on or after 31st October 2019, you should continue to buy travel insurance so you can get the healthcare

Problem Solvers This month, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing on tried and tested problem solvers to see you through the summer, from frizz-fighting serums to space-saving multi-taskers.

When luggage space is at a premium, multi-tasking products are a godsend, particularly when they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count towards your paltry hand luggage liquid allowance. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big fan of PĂ&#x153;Râ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 4 in 1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation (ÂŁ29). As well as giving great, lightweight coverage and a VKLQH IUHH žQLVK LW KHOSV WR nourish skin with ingredients such as lactic acid and shea butter. It also has an SPF of 15. While thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough for warmer weather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handy for cooler days. Choose from 11 shades at /purcosmetics.co.uk.

Hair looking a bit â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mehâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?

Try treating it to Alteya Organicsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rose Otto Invigorating Shampoo and Conditioner (ÂŁ14.20 each). Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re formulated to help strengthen hair, reduce frizz and increase shine. You can forget ingredients lists of unpronounceable chemical compounds, these products are packed with natural ingredients such as aloe vera, seabuckthorn 20

extract, hazelnut extract, ylang-ylang and, of course, roses grown on Alteyaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm. (The familyrun Bulgarian company has been growing organic roses for over a century.)

See www.lovelula.com.

If, like me, your hair turns into a frizzy mess at the merest hint of humidity, try Paul Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Super Skinny Serum (www. paul-mitchell.co.uk). Apply it after conditioning, while your hair is still wet. It speeds up drying time and helps to lock out moisture, so your hair stays smooth, shiny and frizz-free all day. It works wonders on straight, wavy or curly hair and does its job whether you blow dry your hair or leave it to dry naturally. The full size bottle is ÂŁ21.95, but you only need a small amount, so the 25ml travel sized version (ÂŁ6.70) should last for at least a couple of weeks.

According to The Sleep Council, 74 percent of people in the UK donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough sleep. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struggling to drop off at night, try Tisserandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Sleep Better Bath Salts

(ÂŁ13.95), Bath Oil (ÂŁ12.95) or Bath & Shower Wash (ÂŁ11.95). Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fragranced with jasmine, sandalwood and lavender essential oils to help promote a feeling of relaxation. While subtle, the scent is lovely and calming.

The bath oil is my personal favourite, as it leaves skin feeling softer. (Did I mention that I love a multi-tasker?)

Available from Boots and www.tisserand.com.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly reapplying hand lotion because your hands feel dry, it may be time to swap to a gentler, more natural handwash. Personally, I have to avoid any with sodium lauryl sulphate, as it makes my hands so dry and cracked they end up bleeding. I tend to use bars of soap instead, but also like vegetable oil-based liquid soaps, such as those by The Castilian Soap Company.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re available in a range of fragrances, including peppermint, lavender and rose geranium.

If your hands are super-sensitive, try the fragrance-free option. From ÂŁ8 at www.lovelula.com.

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

Big changes will occur on the home front at the beginning of July. The Solar Eclipse on the 2nd suggests you will move to accommodate someone's career. On the 16th, a Lunar Eclipse will bring an end to a tense situation with someone at work. Don't panic if you're forced to find another job. It will be much better working for someone who isn't on a power trip.

TAURUS April 21st - May 21st Harsh criticism on the 2nd will undermine your confidence. The Solar Eclipse in early July beckons you to acquire more skills and knowledge.

Taking a course in a subject that has always fascinated you will give you the spiritual lift you need. A Lunar Eclipse on the 16th brings the end to a legal matter.

On the 2nd, a Solar Eclipse will prompt you to adopt a low profile. Demands at work will compromise your health unless you take it easy. Instead of enjoying late nights, go home early and fix nutritious meals. The Lunar Eclipse on the 16th could find you reaping rewards for a job well done. You will receive a promotion that transforms your life.

VIRGO August 24th - Sept 23rd The Solar Eclipse on the 2nd will draw influential people into your social circle.

A romantic partner or someone close won't approve of your new friends. On the 16th, a Lunar Eclipse will bring an end to an artistic venture. A respected critic will champion your work, helping you earn fame. It's difficult for a naturally modest person like you to be heaped with praise.

GEMINI

LIBRA

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

The Solar Eclipse on the 2nd brings a new source of income, but there will be challenges involved. A demanding partner will force you to play by a strict set of rules. On the 16th, the Lunar Eclipse brings an end to an intimate relationship. Someone who has been struggling with an addiction needs to undergo rehabilitation.

CANCER June 22nd - July 23rd The Solar Eclipse on the 2nd helps you undergo a radical transformation. You could start your own business, have an image update or take on a new professional role. This shift will possibly put stress on a close relationship. It's possible you will relocate on the 16th.

That's when a Lunar Eclipse brings closure to a domestic situation.

An interesting career opportunity could come your way on the 2nd, courtesy of a Solar Eclipse. Although you welcome the chance to get ahead, you are worried this job will take you far from home. Your dependence on a habit will come to an end on the 16th. That's when the Lunar Eclipse will give you the courage to break away.

SCORPIO October 24th - Nov 22nd The opportunity to expand your horizons will arrive on the 2nd, thanks to a Solar Eclipse. Going on an overseas trip, taking a course of study or launching a new and exciting personal project are all possibilities.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 16th changes your outlook. Recently, you've been cynical about power and authority.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st A Solar Eclipse on the 2nd invites you to be more generous with an intimate partner. You've always prized your freedom, but if you're going to enjoy the benefits of a close relationship, you have to open your heart and share your resources. A Lunar Eclipse on the 16th will put an end to an ethical dilemma.

Justice will be served to a bullying, oppressive personality.

CAPRICORN December 22nd - Jan 20th A relationship will reach a turning point on the 2nd, thanks to a powerful Solar Eclipse. Resist the temptation to maintain the status quo. Give away some of personal power to your best friend, romantic partner or business associate. On the 16th, the Lunar Eclipse brings a close to a prominent role. Leaving this position will give you more time to do the things you love.

AQUARIUS January 21st - Feb 19th A new job is coming your way on the 2nd, but it will throw you off balance.

Normally, you're confident about your professional abilities. This position will make you realise you lack essential skills. By the 16th, a Lunar Eclipse will help you conquer a persistent fear. Your fundamental distrust of the establishment has stopped you from realising your full potential.

PISCES Feb 20th - March 20th Friends won't approve of a creative project or romantic relationship on the 2nd. That's when a Solar Eclipse forces you to choose between being happy and being popular. Stop trying to impress people who want to control your life. The Lunar Eclipse on the 16th brings an end to an abusive association. Their hostility has its roots in jealousy.

Garden buildings: Take the inside out A well-designed outdoor structure can make a wonderful addition to a garden.

Albeit practical and indispensable IRU VWRUDJH ZK\ EH VDWLVžHG ZLWK a humble garden shed when other garden buildings can be more glamorous and equally useful? From pavilions to pods, summerhouses to shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huts, all sorts of structures are possible provided you have the outdoor space. They take many forms and will enhance the overall look of your garden, too.

Start by assessing your outside space and considering the available area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is important

to leave a reasonable amount of garden to enjoy. What do you need the structure for? If it is simply a cosy nook in which to relax, a small, circular gazebo with a diameter of two or three PHWUHV PD\ VXIžFH ZKLOH D FUDIW room, for example, would need to be more spacious, and a home RIžFH SHUKDSV ODUJHU VWLOO

How much will it cost? A small, DIY timber

summerhouse should cost less than ÂŁ1,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but you can HDVLO\ VSHQG D žYH žJXUH VXP RQ D JDUGHQ EXLOGLQJ ,W PDNHV a difference whether the structure is conventional timber frame RU KLJK SHUIRUPDQFH VWUXFWXUDO LQVXODWHG SDQHOV ZKLOH žQLVKHV such as cedar cladding and plastered walls all add up.

considered â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;permitted developmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but check with your local authority as to whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need planning permission. If the structure is going to be larger than 15 square metres, or used for sleeping in, then it will have to pass building regulations, too.

Without planning permission you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put an outbuilding in your front garden, nor can it be higher than 2.5m if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s within two metres of a boundary.

Consider how close you want the room to be to your house, whether the ground is sloping, where there are trees or other potential obstructions, how the sun falls at certain times of the day, and which way you want the windows and door to face.

Next, function: do you want heating, lighting, plug sockets and maybe a kitchenette or bathroom? If so, consider how you will connect utilities.

Insulation is vital (think walls, ÂżRRUV DQG URRI LI WKH VSDFH is going to be used beyond the summer months), and so is good security. If anything valuable is going to be stored, glass windows (perhaps even double glazed) are better than plastic, and a sturdy door with a proper lock will be necessary.

Some may prefer rustic simplicity, perhaps a yurt with solar lighting and a sheepskin rug, or a thatched rotunda with a deck chair and weather vane, but others may opt for full-on opulence, which may take the IRUP RI XQGHUÂżRRU KHDWLQJ bi-fold doors, a cinema set-up, a bathroom, a green roof or a hot tub.
