Hello everyone...
ONLINE grooming is a growing threat and can take place in your home without you knowing. In November last year, 15-yearold Kayleigh Haywood received a Facebook message from Luke Harlow, a man she had never met. Over the course of 13 days they exchanged 2643 messages. Harlow told Kayleigh all the things many teenage girls want to hear. He told her she was beautiful, how much he cared for her and that she was special. Harlow was grooming Kayleigh, along with two other young girls he had also been speaking to. But it was Kayleigh that finally agreed to his requests to spend the night of Friday 13th November 2015 at his house. She spent the next day with him too, and in the early hours of Sunday 15th November, having been held against her will by Harlow and by his next
8
door neighbour Stephen Beadman, Kayleigh was raped and murdered by Beadman. With the support of Kayleigh’s family, Leicestershire Police has made a film about aspects of the last two weeks of her life. ‘Kayleigh’s Love Story’ is a warning to young people, both girls and boys, about the dangers of speaking to people they don’t know online. The film highlights just how quick and easy it can be for children to be groomed online without them or those around them knowing it is happening. Its purpose is to protect children now and in the future and to stop another family losing a child in this way. Since September the film has been shown in schools to children 11 and over. A trailer of the film has also been made and can be seen at www.leics.police.uk/kayleighslovestory Many children and young people spend a lot of time online so it is important to know what they are doing and who they are speaking to. There are signs that could indicate your child is engaging in a dangerous online relationship, and steps you can take to protect them. More information can be found at: https://leics.police.uk/advice-andinformation/information-zone/child-sexual-exploitation/onlinegrooming-parents For places and people that can help and where you can report any concerns, please go to: https://leics.police.uk/advice-and-information/ child-sexual-exploitation/parent-or-guardian

health & fitness advice with Mark Padgett of MP Personal Training now
Life changing weight loss IF you want to see how life changing weight loss can be, read on. Last February, local Food Cabin owner, Lee Middleton was becoming very disillusioned with his weight and it’s impact on his health and quality of life. He contacted me for some support, advice and guidance. Initially, he was concerned about doing too much too soon and triggering any old injuries, which were at the time being managed. I put Lee at ease by reassuring him that I would ease him into his exercise regime as I wasn't interested in 'running him into the ground' but wanted to help him improve his quality of life. Once Lee was comfortable he started to progress on a weekly basis, losing weight and changing shape, feeling fitter, more energetic, more positive and happier than he had felt for some time.
Here is what Lee says: “I feel better now than I have felt for 20 years. My daily life has improved dramatically, I feel more energetic, I sleep better, my shape is changing all the time. I cycle to my training sessions and do additional cycle rides on my non-training days. Before I made these changes I couldn't even cycle far without getting tired let alone working out at the gym as well! I even took part in Mark’s annual Gym Challenge for LOROS, helping to raise a massive £7,732 in just one morning! The changes I have made are now a part of my life and I wouldn't want it to be any other way.”
14
“Mark and his gym are a very friendly environment - anyone would feel comfortable there I really enjoy attending.”
For F r the sake of a few Fo sessions per week and some changes hanges and help with a healty diet Lee has come a really long way, losing a total of three and a half stones, looking and feeling good, all since February!

a walk in the forest
Sence Valley S
TThis month’s walk is a great one for getting the whole family out and blowing away the cobwebs. TThe paths are all very good surfaces and well maintained and I think would be great for yyoungsters on bikes or in pushchairs (be aware that the hill back up to the main car park is ssteep though!). If necessary this steep hill at the start and finish can be avoided by driving d down to the car park at the bottom of the hill and then continuing around the Horseshoe Lake aat the end of the walk instead of taking the path uphill to the main car park. Sence Valley is ssituated on the A447 close to Ibstock, the postcode for sat nav users is LE67 6NW.
1
TThe walk follows the main paths around the site, with views of the three main areas of water S Stonebridge Pool, Horseshoe Lake and Goss Water. You are llikely li ike ik kely l to t see a good sele lecti le tio ion of w selection water birds on the lakes and the area is rich in other wildlife there have even been sightings of otters at Sence Valley. Beside the car park is one of the six Noon Sculptures that are situated within the National Forest.
From the main car park look for the path which passes between the timber building housing the playgroup (on your left) and the Noon Sculpture (1) (on your right). This leads on to a wide, tarmac path going down the hill. Follow this all the way down, where you will see a second car park at the bottom of the hill. Just before entering p g to go through a wooden gateway (2) and onto a gravel this bottom car park turn right p path. After a very short distance there is a T junction a ahead - turn right and keep following the gravel path as i curves gradually around to the left. Shortly you will it c cross an attractive bridge over a stream (3). In front of y you is the aptly named, Stonebridge Pool.
3
2
T The track narrows a little now, passing by Stonebridge Pool on your left. The path w will pass by a public footpath off to Heather on your right and then a path/bridleway o off to your left – ignore both of these and keep straight a ahead until you cross a further stone bridge. Immediately after this bridge the track splits and you I need to take the left hand branch, which is the wider of n tthe two. Follow this path until it ends, just after going through a wide, wooden, gate gateway, at a junction of paths with Horseshoe Lake visible ahead of you.
4
Take the path to the right to continue along with Horseshoe Lake now on your left hand side. You will pass by a wooden shelter with a signboard in it (4). Opposite the shelter is a board listing many of the birds that can be seen in the area. Passing over another bridge you will arrive at a junction of paths. On coming to this junction, which is beside the sign for Goss Water (5), you should turn sharp left.
l ftt hand h d side id still. till You will now be walking along the opposite bank of Horseshoe Lake, with the water on your left Continue along, passing a wooden seat on your right hand side, until you see a path leading off uphill to the r right.
6
F Follow this path (unless you started from the smaller c park at the bottom of the hill, in which case you car n need to keep straight on). The path goes quite steeply u uphill, to come to a complicated looking set of wooden b barriers at the top of it (6). Going around the barriers t the left you will emerge in the main car park, at the to o opposite end to which you left it. All walks are checked shortly before publication but please be aware A t that paths may change over time and with the seasons.

N
chamber of commerce
ow into its third year, the North West Leicestershire Chamber of Commerce was initially formed by John Merison – a local businessman, passionate about improving the business and community environment for people in the region. It was formed with the promise to be different. This is a not for profit organisation with no paid staff, run by a committee of local business people, purely for the benefit of businesses in the area. Over the last 3 years, the Chamber has hosted approximately one event or meeting every 2 months inviting key speakers - local and national professionals to relate essential business information regarding grants, business loan
schemes, apprenticeship opportunities, government employment initiatives and community based projects. The Chamber also regularly engages with the Local Authority and with the North West Leicestershire MP Andrew Bridgen to ensure the local area’s concerns in business and community are highlighted at a national level. North West Leicestershire has seen significant growth in business and employment opportunities in recent times and has one of the highest number of small businesses per capita in the UK. Whilst the Chamber does not claim any significant part in this economic prosperity, it sees itself as an integral cog in a larger mechanism that supports
business development in the North West Leicestershire region.
John Merison – President of the Chamber said “North West Leicestershire is an excellent place to do business and recent growth figures and feedback from our some 60+ members is extremely encouraging for the continued prosperity in the region. However, as always, there is much work to do and as our Chamber tag line says – it’s Your Voice. Your Vision. Our Goal – a collective voice is greater than any individual so I strongly encourage other businesses to become members, come to our events, absorb the information available that will help their business thrive and help us make the regions prospects even more promising together.”

donington le heath manor LEICESTERSHIRE County Council’s 1620s House and Garden at Donington le Heath has now finished its first season in its new guise. The house opened in late May following an extensive refurbishment to create a fully furnished family home from the early 17th century. visitors have really enjoyed the beautiful and informative gardens, which looked truly spectacular in the sunshine, and have interacted with the hard working team of volunteer gardeners, who keep the site looking so lovely. Inside the house, our visitors have had fun getting hands-on with our fixtures and fittings while exploring the furnished 17th century rooms, and talking with the volunteer house interpreters to find out about the history of the house and its connections to a Gunpowder Plot family. The tea room staff have supplied a wonderful range of high quality home baked cakes along with filled rolls and a range of drinks.
Our plant fairs in May and August were both very popular, as ever. Although the rather unsettled weather this Summer did affect our two outdoor Shakespeare performances, we will continue the long tradition of outdoor theatre at the site.
A new feature at the site has been the introduction of guided tours around the house during normal opening hours, so look out for these next season.
We will be running events this autumn, starting with Apple Day, celebrating our wonderful heritage orchard, on Saturday 22nd October 10.30am to 4.30pm.
Look out for information on our Gunpowder Plot and Christmas activities and some tasters of next year’s events programme at www.donington leheath.org.uk or follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ DoningtonleHeath
We are still looking for more volunteers to help in the gardens, show people around the house and to assist with education sessions. If you are interested in joining our volunteer team at this wonderful site then visit http://www.leicestershire.gov.uk/jobs-and-volunteering/volunteering/volunteer-withleicestershire-county-council to find out more about these roles.

in your garden
Editorial by Pippa Greenwood
TOOLS OF THE TRADE WITH the arrival of autumn, there is plenty of maintenance work needed in the garden. using the right equipment will ensure that jobs are completed as easily and quickly as possible. It really is worth buying as good a quality garden tool as you can afford. Poorly made and badly designed tools can work out a lot more expensive (and frustrating!) in the long run, so start with a few good ones and build up gradually. A good quality fork and spade are essential and they need to be sturdily built. The neck and head of the spade should be moulded from one piece of metal for added strength. The shaft is usually constructed from wood or metal and you should make sure that it is firmly attached at both the head end and the handle. Ensure the metal parts have been treated to prevent rust. A hand fork and trowel are essential for smaller jobs such as weeding or gardening in confined spaces, and they are also great for moving and dividing smaller plants,
36
for planting bulbs and for mixing up small amounts of compost. It is definitely worth feeling the handle to ensure that that the grip is comfortable.
Next decision: stainless steel or coated steel? Stainless steel does not rust and many people find they move through the soil better, but they are pricey. Coated steel tools are much cheaper and provided you keep them clean and oil them periodically and at the end of each season, they last well.
You will need a hoe for weeding between small plants and for aerating the surface of the soil. Sharpen your hoe regularly and it will last for ages and slide rapidly and easily through the soil. Most hoes have a 1.5 metre (5 foot) shaft but if you are very tall, then longer ones are available from some manufacturers. My favourite is the SpeedHoe, UK designed and with an unusual almost heart-shaped head with a blade running around all edges and a pronged rear, making it the easiest and most effective hoe I’ve ever used.
A spring-tined rake is really useful because it has thin flexible wire tines which make it perfect for raking up lightweight debris and fallen leaves or, of course, lawnmower clippings. Although a garden rake can also be used to rake up leaves, its main purpose is to break up lumps of soil and help you to create a fine level area for sowing seed, whilst at the same time removing stones, lumps and other debris. If you plan to grow vegetables, then a small hoe known as an onion hoe is an invaluable tool and allows you to weed between fairly closely spaced crops. For really tight spaces and weeding between paving, I’m addicted to my SpeedWeeder, a small red-handled tool which is the best I have used for hoiking out dandelion roots in one piece too! Finally, if the tools carry a guarantee then make sure that you keep the receipt and any relevant label from the tool itself or else it may well be difficult to prove precisely when and where you bought it.

seasonal recipes Lean and tender pork fillet is a great cut of meat for family suppers as it cooks fairly quickly and slices beautifully.
Serves 4 Ready 90 min in s + marin ating
Chinese
Roast Pork with vegetable Fried rice YOu WILL NEED
• 500g pork fillet (also called pork tenderloin) • 3 tbsp hoi sin sauce • 3 tbsp soy sauce • 225g easy cook long grain rice • 2 carrots, peeled and diced • ½ red pepper, deseeded and diced • 2 tsp vegetable oil
GET STARTED
• 6 spring onions, trimmed and chopped • 4 tbsp tinned sweetcorn kernels, drained • 50g frozen peas, thawed • 1 large egg, beaten • 600ml of water • Pepper for seasoning • Chilli pepper (optional)
1 Place the pork fillet in a shallow dish. Mix together the hoi sin sauce and 1 tbsp of the soy sauce and spread over the pork fillet. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours. remove from the fridge and stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C / Fan 180°C / Gas Mark 6. 2 Place the pork fillet on a rack set over a roasting tin. Pour 600ml water into the base of the tin (this helps to keep the pork moist during cooking). roast in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until just cooked through. Cover with foil and leave to rest in a warm place for 15 minutes. 3 Meanwhile, cook the rice in a large pan of boiling, salted water for 8 to 10 minutes until just tender. Drain well. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and fry the carrots for 5 minutes. Add the pepper, spring onions, peas and sweetcorn and cook for a further 2 to 3 minutes. 4 Stir in the cooked rice and beaten egg and cook over a high heat, stirring all the time, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the rice is piping hot and the egg has just set. Stir in the remaining soy sauce and season with freshly ground black pepper. Use a sharp knife to slice the pork fillet and serve on a bed of the hot vegetable rice. TOP TIP You can add a bit of extra heat to the marinade with a finely chopped red chilli pepper or a few crushed dried chilli flakes, if preferred.

For the ultimate Halloween sweet treat why not have a go at making Makes 16 a batch of French Ready in Macaroons? 60 min
Macaroons Halloween YOu WILL NEED • • • •
s+ cooling
230g icing sugar, sifted 75g ground almonds 2 large egg whites Orange and black food colouring gel
• 50g caster sugar • 55g unsalted butter, softened • ½ tsp vanilla extract
GET STARTED
1 Place half the icing sugar and all the ground almonds in a food processor and process for 30 seconds, or until fine and powdery. Sift the mixture into a mixing bowl, discarding any tiny pieces of almonds left in the sieve. Set aside. 2 Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until softly peaking. Gradually whisk in the caster sugar, to make a firm and glossy meringue. Whisk in enough of the orange food colouring gel to colour the meringue deep orange. 3 Fold one third of the icing sugar mixture into the meringue using a spatula. repeat with another third of the mixture. Finally add the last third and continue to cut and fold the mixture until it forms a shiny and thick batter that falls in a slow ribbon when the spatula is lifted. 4 Line 2 large baking sheets with baking paper. Spoon the mixture into a large piping bag fitted with a 1cm plain piping nozzle. Pipe 32 discs of the mixture onto the baking sheets, each with a diameter of 3cm. Lift the nozzle at the top of half the piped discs to create a small point. Leave for 30 minutes to allow the macaroons to dry and form a slight crust. Preheat the oven to 160°C / Fan 140°C / Gas Mark 3. 5 Bake, one sheet at a time for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the macaroons have a crisp shell and the frilly bases don’t stick when gently lifted from the paper. Leave on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. 6 To decorate, dip the tip of a fine paintbrush into the black food colouring gel and paint pumpkin faces on the 16 pointed macaroons. 7 To make the filling, beat the butter, remaining icing sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Place all the undecorated macaroon shells flat-side up on a board. Pipe a small mound of the buttercream onto each shell then gently sandwich together with a decorated shell, pressing down gently.

storytime THE weak afternoon sun could not reach the house at the bend in the lane. The path through the garden was criss-crossed with brambles, and the front door seemed held together by its peeling coat of brown paint. Gertrude checked the address scrawled inside the purse, raised her hand and knocked.
here She waited. From somewhere inside she heard lumpyy footsteps, then a rustyy key turned and the door creaked open. An elderly man with wild eyebrows appeared. He wore Wellington boots and a dusty dinner jacket. The most remarkable thing about him was his height; he seemed barely able to reach a light switch.
O
“Is your wife at home?” Gertrude asked breezily.
“Who wants to know?” he said gruffly, his milky blue eyes examining her.
“I found her purse in the lane,” she offered, “I just came to return it.” “My wife is away,” he grumbled, “visiting her sisterr in the Baltic.” “Perhaps you could reunite her with it on her return?”
G
closing the front door. Gertrude shivered.
“It’s up there, look.” The man pointed, dragging a rickety stool across the kitchen floor. Gertrude peered into the shadows above a battered oak dresser and saw a dusty glass jar.
“You just need to jump up there and reach it down,” he said. “Up you get.”
L
In a daze Gertrude climbed onto the stool, which wobbled drunkenly. She lifted the sticky glass jar, and shuddered. It was surrounded by a sprinkling of mouse droppings. The stool wobbled and the lumpy liquid sloshed unpleasantly. Whatever was inside the jar, she had no desire to drink it or be covered in it. Quickly she passed it to the old man. “How much do you want?” he said, cradling it like a new baby.
“I honestly don’t want any,” Gertrude said, gla glad to be back on solid ground. His face b brightened.
E
“Are you sure?” His eyebrows bounced up and down. “Not any?”
“It’s all yours,” Gertrude said. “I really must be on my way.” She stepped towards the door but the man barred her way.
“Maybe.” He looked her up and down. “You’ll do.”
“I beg your pardon?” Gertrude asked in surprise.
“I said ‘I suppose you want a reward.’” He opened the door fully. “Come in.” “Honestly, it’s fine,” Gertrude said, backing away. “Come inside,” he ordered, “you’re letting all the cold air in.” Confused, Gertrude stepped into a dark kitchen that smelled of damp and boiled cabbage. “Do you like sloe gin?” the man asked.
Gertrude was uncertain how to answer.
“My wife made it. Perhaps I could pour you a small glass?”
“There really is no need,” Gertrude insisted, “I just wanted to return her purse.”
“She never uses that one anymore.” The man waved his hand dismissively. “Now, about that sloe gin.”
“Actually I must dash, my friend is waiting for me,” Gertrude lied. “This will only take a minute,” he said firmly,

“I’m hoping this could be our little secret?” he said. “My wife hid it up th there, because she knew I wouldn’t be able to reach.” “B “Because of your height?” Gertrude asked.
“Vertigo, I’ve got vertigo,” the old man snapped. “That purse has been out in the lane for two days and you’re the first person who’s come to return it.”
It took Gertrude a moment to realise that she’d been tricked into enabling this strange little man’s love of sloe gin. She smiled courteously in spite of herself. “Glad to be of service.”
“Just one more thing,” he said, as he clumsily poured himself a generous measure, “can you come round again to put it back up there before my wife gets back?”
