Stephen Ault EDITOR
Goodbye October and hello November! Hmmm, November, November, November ... what can I write about this month? It is the interval between the wonderful, colourful season of autumn and the short, dark days of December. A month which we seldom think of in terms of beauty, as the weather is often damp, drizzly and foggy with cold rain and gusty winds, and one where we simply yearn for those warm, sunny, late afternoons in the garden once again. But November does have its beauty. Wrap up warm and take a walk along the beach or in the surrounding woodlands and countryside. Take in the beauty of nature around you. There is beauty even in the bare trees and fields and empty hedgerows as nature prepares for winter. The author Cynthia Rylant beautifully describes this change as ‘In November, the earth grows quiet. It is making its bed, a winter bed for flowers and small animals, a silent bed at first glance but much life hides beneath its blankets.' Well, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, isn’t it? Christmas and festive goods are now on sale in many of our shops and supermarkets. Tinsel and sparkling decorations, frivolity, festive food & drink and fun parties will soon be the order of the day - have you booked your office or works party yet or started your Christmas shopping? Our magazine taps into the early Christmas spirit this month as a few of our advertisers begin to advertise their Christmas gifts, meals and deals. Flick through our pages too for solutions for those problems that can arise and spoil your day - burst pipes, boiler breakdowns, accidental spillages on carpets, tyre punctures, toothache ... the list is endless. Space is already filling up fast in our December issue, so if you would like to place a last-minute advert for Christmas, do get in touch soon or you could miss out! Just give us a call or email us to discuss your advertising requirements. Alternatively, I am happy to visit you at your business or home if this suits you better. Have a great November folks!

Good Read
The Folklore of British Insects by Chris Firth. Illustrated by Rebecca Hobbs
The Folklore of British Insects is the latest offering by Chris Firth and is an informative and entertaining book containing many astonishing facts, myths and legends of Great Britain’s creepycrawlies including medicinal and culinary uses of our favourite insects. The book is beautifully illustrated by Rebecca Hobbs and is a fun and fascinating read, one which the whole family can enjoy.
The book is packed with folklore, something you would expect from Chris, a member of the British Folklore Society, and author of The Fairies and Mermaids of North Yorkshire. It took Chris and Rebecca two years to research, compile and bring to press The Folklore of British Insects, which is teeming with many fascinating, thought-provoking and often humorous stories behind the best-known (but perhaps not always the best loved!) insects and bugs – those you see every day but maybe don’t pay much attention too.
You Choose by Pippa Goodhart (Author), Nick Sharratt (Illustrator)
Imagine you could go anywhere, meet anyone, and do anything. Where would you live? Where would you sleep? Who would be your friends? What games would you play?
Did you know that ladybirds saved England from a potentially devastating famine, and that they can also be a cure for toothache? And the much hatedcockroach - it can hold its breath under water for 40 minutes, and can happily live and function without a head for up to a week? And if you are feeling peckish, earwigs are said to be quite tasty – a cross between chicken and shrimps? Or you could feast on termites and cockroaches? Hmm.. I think I will take your word for this, Chris!
Priced at £12.99, the book is a perfect gift for entomologists and nature lovers, so if you are about to do your Christmas shopping, here is a great Christmas stocking filler idea! Or why not simply treat yourself to a copy, pop on your apron, light the stove and rustle up some culinary treats with grasshoppers, crickets, cockroaches...
The Folklore of British Insects is available from all good bookshops including the Whitby bookshop, Lythe Community Shop and The Book Corner at Saltburn.
This beautifully illustrated book (Nick Sharratt never disappoints) has a simple concept: each double-page is packed with detailed drawings of different things that a child can choose. There is a set of destinations including beaches, cities, towns, forests, an island, and a desert. There are pages of different people, and different foods etc. There is so much to discuss with a young child as you turn the pages. Choices can be ordinary or wildly absurd. It’s a wonderful springboard for young children to tell their own stories.

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!

Garden View

Feeling fruity?
Autumn is well advanced and following some brilliant colour, the trees and shrubs have shed most of their leaves. Many of us will have been busy tidying our plots in preparation for winter. However, if you've ever fancied growing your own fruit then now is the perfect time to put in a little extra effort. From now until spring is the best window to plant fruit trees because now is the time that nurseries are selling bare-root trees. 'Bare-root’ simply means without pots or soil. Bare root trees are cheaper than those grown in pots, but they are quick to establish providing you follow a few simple steps.
Drive a stake into the ground to a depth of at least 60cm. This will provide support for your fledgling tree.
If you are planting a grafted tree, there will be a clear join where it was grafted on to the rootstock This join should remain above the soil level when planted. It’s easier if there are two of you; one to hold the tree at the correct level, and one to backfill the hole around the roots. The person holding the tree should shake the trunk gently as the hole is filled, so that soil gets in between all the roots.
Once you've filled the hole, firm the soil gently with your foot. Don't compact the soil too much. The drag more soil over the compressed area.
Use a soft rubber tie to secure the tree to the stake at a height of 60cm. Too low and the tree won't be secure; too high and the tree won't flex enough in the wind. Allowing the tree to flex a little encourages more root growth and results in a stronger tree.
Finally, water in well and apply a 5cm layer of organic mulch over the area but NOT touching the trunk, because it might rot. The mulch helps to suppress weeds, provide insulation, and retain moisture.
Before you plant the tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for at least two hours, so it gets a good drink.
Prepare a large enough area, at least 1 metre diameter. This means that if you are planting in a lawn you'll need to remove an area of turf to the same diameter to stop the grass competing with the new tree for nutrients and water. Wherever you plant, make sure you dig in lots of organic matter, this could be garden compost, leaf mould, or wellrotted manure. Make sure you dig it all around the area where the hole will be, rather than just into the hole itself, because this will encourage the new tree to put roots out into the surrounding soil, helping it to establish quickly.
The hole for the new tree needs to be roomy enough so that the roots will not be crammed together.
Your tree should now be fine until spring when we'll talk about ongoing care.
Happy Gardening!
