Easter is just around the corner, are you ready?

Where will you be buying your Easter presents this year?

This month we are really working hard to keep our local economy thriving, and letting you know just how important your shopping in the local shops is to the community. Please take the time to let your local independents know that you have found them here in the magazine as it really makes a difference to them.

“Totally Locally” is a campaign that promotes shopping in the local area – did you know we have more shops than Meadow Hall here in Newark?

And there’s more listed buildings that in York! All in all Newark is a great place to live, work and shop!

And don’t forget to pop over to Newark Paint & Hardware to take part in the Easter raffle in aid of Beaumond House, a whole families worth of Lindt Easter Bunnies to be won!

The Better Life Ever Green

by Derek Thompson www.alongthewritelines.blogspot.co.uk

Sometimes it’s easy for me to forget that I grew up in a city.

The only planting I did back then was with hyacinth bulbs at school, apart from the time I knocked over Mum’s cactus and repotted it upside-down - it didn’t thrive.

For reformed townies like us the Better Life remains a work-in-progress. Much like our garden, there’s always something to be done. Each month brings its own pleasures and responsibilities, keeping us connected to the seasons and the cycle of the year. Now WKDW , KDYH D ÀUP JUDVS RI FURS rotation - albeit on a small scale due to the size of our garden - it’s mainly a case of following instructions. It’s a lot like learning the piano though: you have to keep at it and the early starts can sometimes upset the neighbours.

Some things take care of themselves. The interlinked water butts, for example, gravity fed from no 1 (aka John Lennon) high up on a wall, have so far kept us fully supplied all the way down to no 4 (aka Ringo) by the front gate.

we walk our neighbours’ dogs down to the woods we bring back a couple of walking sticks to dry out in the wood store.

Creating compost seems to me the epitome of a greener existence – taking unwanted waste, using a minimum of know-how and a little forking, applying some patience and ÀQDOO\ HQGLQJ XS ZLWK JRRG quality, nutrient-rich material for the soil.

Anne is really the one with JUHHQ ÀQJHUV ZKLOH ,¡P PRUH of an enthusiast. I was, after DOO WKH RQH ZKR ÀOOHG WKH world’s smallest conservatory with 16 sweet pepper plants, each of which reached a height of over 2ft 6ins (I measured them). Even our IULHQGV JUHZ WLUHG RI ÀOOHG peppers that year.

Growing some of your own veg, whatever your level of FRQÀGHQFH RU DELOLW\ LV VXUHO\ one of life’s great joys. You can get from plot to plate with no food miles, no additives and no packaging. It’s really QRW GLIÀFXOW WR KDYH D JR Spuds can be grown in a KHVVLDQ EDJ ÀOOHG ZLWK VRLO beans can be sprouted on a windowsill and all some herbs like marjoram or peppermint need is boundaries.

A more dynamic and diverse habitat encourages wildlife, especially pollinators such as EXWWHUà LHV EHHV DQG ZDVSV (yep, they have a part to play too). Again, lack of space is no excuse. We created a mini meadow that covered OHVV WKDQ ÀYH VTXDUH IHHW 7KH ÀUVW \HDU ZH ERXJKW VHHG impregnated paper and now we use yellow rattle to keep the grass down so that the wild à RZHUV FDQ à RXULVK Beyond the garden, we foraged seasonal wild garlic, apples, chickweed, nettle leaves, dandelion leaves and the ever-popular blackberries (where the freezer comes in handy). Moving forward - and because we live near the sea - I’ve signed us up for a coastal foraging day. I happen to know that there are tasty sea vegetables out there somewhere, as well as plenty of seaweed. It’s another opportunity to go green further DÀHOG Anyway, that’s it for a while. I hope our little adventures have entertained you and hopefully inspired you to seek out your Better Life. Must dash, as Anne wants to teach me how to knit!

Other initiatives just take a little forethought. Each time 6 Luxury British Hampers www.britishhamper.com

Stop for your caffeine fix at one of the independent coffee shops such as Strays, Gannets, Café Amore or Peppadews.

The Totally Locally scheme in Newark is focussed on businesses which support each other in sharing ideas on display, merchandising and promotional activities.

From time to time, special community events are staged; for example, the successful Busking festival, a Christmas retail event and, moving forwards a FiverFest - a chance for retailers to shout about just how good they are and what great value they can offer, all designed to elevate public awareness and stimulate the local economy.

Instead of just relying on the supermarket and huge multi-national chains, why not get to know and familiarise yourself with the local butcher, greengrocer and coffee shop.

Shopping will become much more of an enjoyable experience and it might even save you money!

Home & Interiors Charming Country Style

By Katherine Sorrell

farmhouse practicality, cottage cosiness and country-house comfort, where furniture, fabrics and accessories of all sorts are completely informal, yet somehow seem to work wonderfully together.

Cosy, comfortable and oh-so pretty, country style has eternal appeal. Think roses winding around the SRUFK FUDFNOLQJ ORJ ÀUHV chickens in the yard and a Victoria sponge cooling on the range cooker. As interiors expert Katherine Sorrell says, who could resist?

Do you dream of escaping the rat race for a rural idyll?

Moving to the country may be a fantasy for many of us, but even if you can’t actually make the move, you can evoke a charming country style in your home – wherever it may be. The aim is to create a look that appears to have evolved naturally over time. It’s a combination of 16

Overall, choose either off-white or pastel walls, or perhaps a block-printed wallpaper, the latter featuring GHOLFDWH WUDLOLQJ à RUDOV or something more bold and blowsy. Tactile, QDWXUDO à RRU FRYHULQJV such as sisal, jute or coir have the right kind of honest and hardworking good looks, while rugs are warm and practical, be they oriental, Indian, 0LGGOH (DVWHUQ UDJ à DW woven or needlework. If they are even a little threadbare, don’t worry too much.

With furniture, keep an eye on balance and proportion.

You can put all kinds of styles together if you keep an eye on their size and scale. It might be a Georgian, Victorian or early 20th century piece, antique, junk-shop, hand-me-down or homemade, but it should never look overtly modern and always be sturdy, simple and generously sized. Squashy sofas, generous armchairs, plain wooden chairs, benches and stools, and the occasional wirework or Lloyd Loom piece are all key. Add dining chairs with ladder or spindle backs, plus a scrubbed-pine table,

and complement them with a large, open dresser. And some distressed paintwork here and there only enhances the overall effect.

When choosing fabrics, for curtains, cushions, upholstery, bed linen and so on, don’t go overboard on co-ordination: an informal mix of gently worn patterns gives a lovely effect. Texture is as important as pattern, so opt for a combination that FRXOG LQFOXGH à RUDOV WZHHG ginghams, stripes, polka dots, paisley, tapestry, embroidery and textured plains such as linen, wool, velvet or mohair. For a hand-made, vintage feel, include some knitting or crochet, too. In style, window treatments should be understated – perhaps a Roman blind with a decorative trim, or a pair of full-length, gathered curtains and a simple pelmet.

As for upholstery, ensure it is well-stuffed and comfortable, employing fabric that is warm and welcoming. Piping looks smart and traditional, but the occasional frilled edging can be delightful. Complete the effect with piles of throws,

To provide PRUH YDULHW\ DQG à H[LELOLW\ DGG WDEOH DQG à RRU ODPSV to brighten corners and illuminate work areas: wrought iron, brass, turnedwood, frilly-edged glass, plaster or ceramic bases, with understated fabric or card shades, are all great choices.

A few candles dotted here and there and, of course, WKH DSSHDOLQJ à LFNHU RI D UHDO ÀUH ZLOO UHDOO\ HQKDQFH WKH atmosphere.

As for accessories, any number of extra touches will transform your home into a special country retreat. For walls, it might be watercolour landscapes or botanical

prints, needlepoint or crossstitch samplers or woodblock illustrations; silverframed family photographs might spread across shelves and mantelpieces.

Wicker baskets and wooden boxes make goodlooking storage solutions, while it goes without saying that chintz, blue-and-white or spongeware crockery is just the thing for displaying on the dresser. You could make a display from cooking equipment such as jelly moulds or copper pans, or collections of natural items such as pebbles RU SLQH FRQHV 7R ÀQLVK the whole look off, arrange PDVVHV RI IUHVK à RZHUV LQ informal containers – jam jars, mugs or enamel pitchers, perhaps – to give a fresh scent of the country, whatever your location.

Finance Challenger Banks: What they Bring to a Tired Industry

By Ann Haldon The UK banking industry has been severely damaged by scandals and misdeeds in recent years. The Libor incident when banks falsely manipulated interest rates, plus the infamous PPI mis-selling scandal, are just two reasons for public unease and mistrust.

Poor levels of service and low saver rates have compounded a seemingly irresolvable problem, leaving customers with little recognition of the issues they were facing, and few alternative banking options.

But help may be at hand.

The ‘Big Four’ - Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays, HSBC and Lloyds – are now facing competition from challenger banks. New entrants to the banking industry include Metro and Aldermore , plus the reemergence of an old, familiar high street name.

We look a little closer at some offerings from these new banks, and see if they could really be a credible threat to established institutions.

An old name on the high street Not really a challenger bank, but a familiar name with a ‘new’ offering is TSB. Their strap line, “We’re different,” plus market positioning as champions of “local banking” offer a level and type of service once taken for granted when banking was a service industry rather than a huge selling machine.

Current account • Classic Plus Account: credit interest rate of 5% variable AER on balances up to

26

£2,000; minimum of £500 per month to be paid in; no monthly fee.

Fixed Bond • Fixed interest rate of 1.35% gross/AER on £2,000+ for two years; interest paid monthly or annually.

Credit card • 0% interest on purchases for up to 13 months if the 7-day switching service is used.

Metro Bank Metro Bank operates from ‘stores’ throughout the southeast of England, with the HPSKDVLV ÀUPO\ RQ FRQYHQLHQFH for their customers – stores are open 7 days per week, 362 days of the year. They have a familyfriendly policy that includes the Money Zone programme, in which they help children and students to learn about money management.

Current account • No monthly fee; MasterCard contactless debit card; free transactions in Europe; cheque books printed while you wait.

Fixed term savings \HDU À[HG UDWH DFFRXQW annual interest rate of 1.90% JURVV $(5 FKRLFH RI À[HG UDWH terms of 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 3 years; interest paid monthly or annually; minimum lump sum deposit of £500.

Credit card • MasterCard contactless credit card; free transactions in Europe; no annual fee.

Aldermore Aldermore has no branches,

choosing to operate online and via telephone banking.

This allows it to keep down costs, and its streamlined business model has been marketed towards helping small businesses and homeowners in the UK with savings and mortgage products.

Fixed rate savings \HDU À[HG UDWH DFFRXQW currently offering 2.15% gross/AER annual interest; FKRLFH RI À[HG WHUPV EHWZHHQ 1 year and 5 years; a single lump sum deposit of £1,000 minimum; operated via the internet, by telephone, or post.

The above are just a selection of products on offer by the banks mentioned – there is a variety of other accounts and products that may be more suitable depending on your circumstances.

Modern IT systems have allowed these challenger banks to compete on a different platform to traditional high street banks, which are hindered by outdated infrastructures that are costly to maintain.

The absence of bricks and mortar outlets also provides an opportunity to loosen the Big Four’s stranglehold on a banking industry desperate for some fresh competition. http://www.paymentscouncil. org.uk/media_centre/press_ releases/-/page/3177/ http://www.tsb.co.uk/ https://www.metrobankonline. co.uk/ http://www.aldermore.co.uk/

Grow Your Own

by Pippa Greenwood

I’m a great fan of home grown vegetables, particularly as growing my own allows me to choose to eat only organically grown fruit and vegetables, which are free from chemical pesticides. Even if you only have a tiny patio garden or backyard, you can brighten up your supper table with some good looking vegetables, home grown in containers.

It is important to use large containers. Smaller ones may ORRN ÀQH EXW PRVW YHJHWDEOHV need an evenly moist compost around their roots at all times, and so a larger volume of compost is much easier to look after. They will need to be positioned in a sunny spot as vegetables won’t crop well in a gloomy position.

Growing bags will do but they don’t exactly look good. In addition, they often seem to contain pretty poor compost and, when it comes to keeping growing bags adequately watered, they are nothing short RI D QLJKWPDUH /DUJH ÁRZHU pots or planters are the best bet, and you can use terracotta, plastic or glazed pots. Make sure that the containers are well supplied with drainage holes, and that you have a layer of broken pots on top.

I suggest using either a standard multi-purpose or a

36

multi-purpose compost mixed with a loam based compost – both produce good crops and are fairly easy to maintain. You can incorporate some controlled release fertiliser granules or feed regularly with a liquid feed.

There are lots of different vegetables that can be grown in containers but sometimes getting the right variety can make all the difference to how well they perform. Check labels or seed catalogues as those particularly well suited to life in a pot are described as so. If you like home grown beans you can use any variety of dwarf French bean, or if you prefer, a runner.

The miniature runner, ‘Hestia’, KDV SUHWW\ UHG DQG ZKLWH ÁRZHUV and doesn’t need a support to climb.

Cucumbers can be grown in pots; choose a variety such as ‘Patio Pick’ which should manage to crop well despite its small size. Provided you have a large and deep container then courgettes are also worth a try, and do remember to keep them well fed.

If you like hot pepper and have a sheltered, warm spot then try the crazy looking, heavy cropping ‘Medusa’ or the pretty but hot ‘Etna’.

Salad crops can all be grown in a growing bag or other container, and are guaranteed

to look good. For some really wacky colour try growing the rich-red stemmed Ruby Chard or ‘Bright Lights’ chard with stems in pink, orange, red, yellow and white.

When it comes to maintenance, remember that anything growing in a pot needs more TLC as its roots will not be able to tap into the further reaches RI WKH VRLO WR ÀQG PRLVWXUH DQG nutrients. Plenty of food and water is a must, and I tend to use a high potash liquid tomato feed, which works a treat. To keep your pots free from slug and snail attacks, try using sticky-backed copper tape stuck in a complete ring around the top of the pot or planter.

Once everything is growing well and cropping, don’t forget to pick patio veg regularly if you want the plants to keep cropping.

Are You Living On A Lonely Planet?

by Kate McLelland Most people will experience loneliness at some time in their lives, according to â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Lonely Societyâ&#x20AC;?: a report published by the Mental Health Foundation (MHF). The report, based on data provided by over two thousand people, found that 48% of those surveyed believed that Britain is becoming a lonelier place.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a typically British trait, but many of us would rather suffer in silence than admit we need some human company.

Not wanting to be a burden to others, pride in our own self-reliance and fear of being stigmatised can keep is in isolation and prevent us from reaching out to others.

These days, when more of us live in small apartments, work at home and shop and socialise online, face-to-face social interaction is becoming increasingly rare. Older people especially can feel more isolated, particularly if they suffer from ill health or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to go out.

So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best way to overcome loneliness?

Reach out to someone else The saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always someone worse off than youâ&#x20AC;? has become a bit of a clichĂŠ, but when it comes to loneliness

42

and isolation itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very likely to be true. Over a third of the individuals surveyed in the MFH report said they had a close friend or relative who was ´YHU\ ORQHO\Âľ VR D ORJLFDO Ă&#x20AC;UVW step would be to start with the people that you know.

We stiff-upper-lip Brits often pretend that everything is all right when the opposite is actually true, so if an isolated friend or relative tells you they DUH Ă&#x20AC;QH GRQ¡W OHW WKDW SXW \RX off from suggesting a gettogether.

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any personal contacts who are in need of your companionship, then you can always spread the net a little wider. The campaigning and lobbying organisation Campaign to End Loneliness doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recruit volunteers directly but you can visit their website at www. campaigntoendloneliness.

RUJ WR Ă&#x20AC;QG LQIRUPDWLRQ DERXW volunteering opportunities.

Get a new job or share your skills If you are approaching retirement and dreading the day when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll swap the friendly banter of your co-workers for the dubious pleasures of daytime television, \RX ZLOO Ă&#x20AC;QG DQ RXWOHW IRU the skills you have acquired during your working life at

http://ageinginnovators.org.

Opportunities include Life Re-imagined: a web platform that helps people re-evaluate their skills and pursue new ambitions, and Vintage Communities, which brings SHRSOH WRJHWKHU WR Ă&#x20AC;QG ORFDO solutions to local problems.

Find a new love Whatever your age and circumstances itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still possible WR Ă&#x20AC;QG ORYH 7KHVH GD\V RQOLQH dating is accepted as one of WKH EHVW ZD\V WR Ă&#x20AC;QG D SDUWQHU particularly one who shares your beliefs and interests.

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensible to keep an eye out for people who may be less than honest, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be put off by scare stories in the press: internet dating is one of the fastest growing, most successful online businesses of the 21st century. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still not sure, visit www. top10bestdatingsites.co.uk to read reviews written by members of the public who have successfully used these dating sites.

Of course, you may need a bit of courage to get started - particularly if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost FRQĂ&#x20AC;GHQFH LQ \RXU VRFLDO VNLOOV - but once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve rediscovered the art of connecting with others, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wonder why you lingered so long on that lonely planet!

Theres a quiet revolution going on below stairs at The Vaults – Newarks newest eaterie.

A smart and trendy new bar and restaurant has been born in the former kitchens of the Georgian manor house that also is home to Energized Gym, on Northgate. Serving local real ales and ciders, from micro breweries, that have limited supply (some sell out within 2 days) with tasters available before you buy a whole pint, and lovely home cooked food, this is definitely a place to try and make into your local.

A friendly and cosy bar area, with a selection of sofas and tables, leads through to a more conventional table and seating area, with original features and rounded walls.

On the menu, are original dishes such as “build your own bangers and mash”, the Vaults own “Juicy Lucy Burger”, and more main courses, with delicious desserts from sorbets and ice creams to a fabulous cheese plate with all local cheeses. The

Cheese plate is gorgeous and I can highly recommend it as well as the fish & chips. All the food is traceable and Doncasters Butchers supply the meat, cheeses are from Porters, and Scratchings are from Elite Meats.

Live music is played on various evenings, which sounds lovely and is sure to make an ordinary evening extraordinary.

Next time you are in town, pop in and have a reviving visit to The Vaults.

Now with over 1700 everyday essentials.

essential Waitrose is a range of hundreds of everyday shopping items at everyday, affordable prices. And even though the prices may take you by surprise, every item is sourced and produced without ever compromising on the quality you’ve come to expect from Waitrose.

Not available in motorway service stations.

In its 132nd year, the family show is one of the most prestigious county shows in the country and will be jam packed with activities to keep all ages happy. Lines of livestock, big events such as headline act Broke FMX and Savage Skills, live cookery demonstrations in the Food Experience area and a range of local stalls.

The headline attraction Broke FMX will see its stunt display team rock the main ring.

Ranked as the UKs top freestyle motor cross riders, they will be providing the thrills and excitement at the ringside. With heart stopping tricks, the display team leap 35' in the air performing acrobatic stunts over gaps approaching 100'.

Between shows visitors will be able to have a closer look at the bikes and meet the riders.

New for 2015 is the Family Zone in the George Stevenson Building – incorporating a range of exciting and family orientated interactive indoor attractions. Savage Skills - the UK’s leading freestyle mountain bike stunt team – will be freestyling their moves in the performance ring with a selection of the world’s leading stunt riders.

There will be circus workshops for aspiring acrobats, a range of dance groups strutting their stuff, storytelling, play areas plus lots more.

“Come rain or shine, 52

Nottinghamshire County Show is an all-weather event so even if the weather isn’t kind to us everyone can still enjoy themselves.”

The popular sheep show – all the way from New Zealand - will educate and entertain, with its team of presenters and fantastic sheep. Audiences will learn about each breed’s attributes and how wool from the sheep’s back becomes a jumper before the shears are brought out for a demonstration.

The Stuart Barnes Dog and Duck Display will also be returning

demonstrating how shepherding is really done.

“2015 is going to be phenomenal. No matter what age the show offers an exciting day out for everyone to see, experience, and taste the best of Nottinghamshire – be it from entertainers, farmers, producers or retailers.”

Tickets cost £15 on the gates or £10 for advance tickets online.

Under 17’s go free.

Stylish Drive Guaranteed in Newark with the Pugeot 308 Bringing style and efficiency to the roads of Newark, the Peugeot 308 is now available from local Peugeot Dealership, Pratt and Gelsthorpe.

Gelsthorpe said: “The 308 offers the perfect combination of style, efficiency and high

European Car of the Year in 2014, the new 308’s pricing and specification, builds on Peugeot’s brand values offering local drivers a stylish design, impressive driving experience, class-leading efficiency and a high quality build.

The 308 range has four trim levels – Access, Active, Allure and Feline – with each one competitively priced and displaying compelling features.

All new 308s, starting with the Access model, feature a high level of equipment, which includes air conditioning, remote central door locking, cruise control with speed limiter, DAB digital radio, LED daylight running lights and Bluetooth connectivity.

At the next trim level – the Active model – the specification places it strongly against its competitors, featuring as standard dual zone air conditioning, electric handbrake, rear parking sensors, integrated 9.7” touch screen and satellite navigation.

Another popular model in the new 308 range is expected to be the Allure, distinguished by innovative full LED headlamps, 17” alloy wheels, a reversing camera and front parking sensors.

includes a panoramic glass roof, trimmed sports seats and the Driver Assistance Pack, comprising of: dynamic cruise control, an emergency collision alert and an emergency collision braking system.

The arrival of the new 308 helps further enhance Peugeot’s environmental commitment to low CO2 motoring – by May 2013, average emissions across the range were just 116.3g/km.

In Spring 2014, the new 308 will also be the first Peugeot car to benefit from an innovative three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine – the 1.2-litre e-THP with a choice of 110 or 130bhp.

Dealer Principal, Richard

“With four trim levels – all with an impressive standard specification – there’s a model for every budget and we’re sure interest in this model will remain high for some time.”

With a competitive pricing strategy, the range starts from £14,495 for the 1.2 litre Access model. Available in Hurricane Grey, Bianca White, Aluminium, Rioja Red, Nera Black, Rich Oak, Twilight Blue, Cumulus Grey, Tornado Grey and Pearlescent White, the New 308 delivers economically as well as on a stylish level, with CO2 emissions from just 114g/km.
