A Warm Welcome The arrival of the New Year brings a sense of renewal, a chance to leave behind the old and embrace the new. It is a time of reflection, of setting goals and making resolutions. It is a time to celebrate, to gather with loved ones and bid farewell to the year that was and welcome the year that will be, toasting the possibilities that lie ahead. For some, the New Year is a time of deep introspection. It is a moment to take stock of accomplishments, failures, and lessons learned. It is an opportunity to let go of regrets and embrace forgiveness. It is a chance to make peace with the past and step into the future with a renewed sense of purpose. For others, the New Year is a time of boundless optimism. It is a blank canvas waiting to be painted with dreams and aspirations, a clean slate upon which to write new stories, forge new paths, and chase new horizons. It is a reminder that anything is possible, that the only limits are the ones we impose upon ourselves.
2 |
In the midst of the celebrations and reflections, there is a collective sense of hope. Hope for a better world, hope for personal growth and happiness, hope for unity and understanding. The New Year arrives like a beacon of light, guiding us towards a future filled with promise and possibility. I sincerely hope that 2024 brings us all the love, joy, and fulfilment we seek. May it be a year of dreams realised and new adventures embarked upon, and a year of growth, resilience, and compassion. A huge thank you to all our valued advertisers, readers and everyone involved in the production and delivery of the Whitby Advertiser over the past year. To you all, here’s to the New Year, and all the wonders it holds.

Monthly Recipe
Beef Stroganoff with Herb Pasta
Pappardelle pasta makes the most perfect partner for creamy stroganoff, but you can also use rice or any pasta of your choice.
Timings & Servings Preparation: 10 minutes Cooking: 20 minutes Serves 4
Ingredients
400g beef rump steak, trimmed 1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
300g small button mushrooms 400g pappardelle pasta
3 shallots, finely chopped 1 tbsp plain flour 300ml beef stock
1 tbsp Dijon mustard 1 tbsp tomato purée 3 tbsp crème fraiche
½ x 20g pack flat-leaf parsley, chopped. 16 |
Method
Freeze the beef for 45 mins before you begin. This makes it easy to slice really thinly. Season well. Melt half the butter and half the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Turn the heat up and quickly sear the beef in batches until browned on both sides. Remove the meat and set aside. Repeat with the mushrooms, then set aside with the beef. Boil the pasta. Add the remaining butter and oil to the pan and soften the shallots for a few mins. Stir in the flour for 1 min, then gradually add in the stock, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Simmer to allow it to thicken for 5 mins, then stir in the mustard, tomato purée, crème fraîche and seasoning. Simmer for one more minute, then return the beef and mushrooms to the pan. Drain the pasta, toss with half the chopped parsley, season, then serve with the creamy stroganoff, sprinkled with the remaining parsley.

YORKSHIRE LOFT LADDERS, QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST!
These days most homeowners suffer from a lack of storage space. So many precious items that need to be kept – but where to store it all? That’s where Yorkshire Loft Ladders come in. The company, based locally, offers homeowners the opportunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Mark Hodson explains:
‘Our watchwords are Quality, Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served tradesmen so our customers are assured of the best job. Integrity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford.
Our business relies on referrals and we got a huge amount of our calls from people who have been referred to us by our existing customers - that simply wouldn’t happen if we didn’t adhere to our overriding principles.
At the end of the day the old adage that happy customers lead to more happy customers is true and we work hard to make that happen for every installation we carry out!’ So, if you want to make use of your loft space, however big or small, call Mark on 0800 612 8359 and he’ll be happy to pop round and give you a no obligation quote so you too can make use of your loft!

The future lies with electric vehicles ... or does it?
Electric cars can contribute to the development of a smarter and more efficient energy grid. With the integration of smart charging infrastructure, EVs can be charged during off-peak periods, when electricity demand is lower. This load balancing can reduce strain on the national grid and potentially lowering electricity costs for all consumers.
However, despite their numerous advantages, electric cars also face some challenges that may impede their widespread adoption. One major concern is the limited driving range offered by current battery technology. While the range of electric cars has improved significantly in recent years, it still falls short compared to conventional vehicles. This limitation can cause range anxiety, where drivers worry about running out of charge during long trips. Electric cars, also known as electric vehicles (EVs), Although the charging infrastructure is expanding, have gained significant popularity in recent years it is not yet as widespread or as convenient as as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional petrol stations. traditional petrol and diesel vehicles.
