Whitby Advertiser September 2023

A Warm Welcome

Counting steps. It’s an obsession for many these days, isn’t it? Whether we are strolling along the beach, walking to work or on the Cinder Path, we are checking the apps on our phones or our smartwatches to see how many steps we have done. I am guilty of doing it too as I love walking, being a keen member of a local walking group, and of course delivering some of the 24,000 magazines we print every month. Counting helps bring a sense of measurement and achievement to our daily routine and is a mindful and inspiring way of keeping track of our physical activity

So how many steps should we walk each day? The recommended target often touted to help keep us fit and healthy is 10,000 steps, but this week, scientists have suggested we need to do just 6,000 steps, saying also that benefits can begin at around 3000 steps. The NHS also says that just a ‘brisk 10-minute’ daily walk can bring lots of health benefits. So many numbers, eh? I would say a lot depends on your age, health and mobility, so set your own goal and then gradually increase your activity, or simply aim to beat yesterday’s count. Counting steps needn’t be all about checking a smart device either, it can also serve as a mental exercise. If we focus on each step and count ourselves as we go along, the rhythm created by counting helps to clear our minds and reduce stress, shifting our focus away from negative thoughts or anxieties, and allowing us to find a sense of peace and clarity amidst the chaos of daily life.

Someone who is no stranger to walking joins our delivery team this month. He is James and has just returned from Thailand where he walked an amazing 1000km over 48 days from Pattaya to Phuket raising money for Take Care Kids, a children’s charity based in Pattaya. James has been doing charity walks for many years – what an amazing guy!

Okay, that’s me done – I need to leave my desk and get some steps in! If you would like to advertise your business or promote a local event in our October edition, don’t delay - call or email us today as space is filling up fast! Have a great September, folks!.

WHITBY REGATTA, BIRTHDAY & VICTORY CELEBRATIONS AT THE MAYFIELD

Residents and staff, as well as their families and friends, enjoyed a wonderful Summer Party at The Mayfield on Saturday 12 August.

The gathering was to celebrate Whitby Regatta and the 90th birthday of Mayfield resident and Whitby legend Marjory Hart, who used to live on Church Street.

Marjory was absolutely thrilled to celebrate her big milestone with everyone and she had been counting down the days leading up to it. Lots of her family attended, many coming from far afield, and she was given a huge number of presents and a delicious lemon cake made by The Mayfield’s Head Chef. A big rendition of Happy Birthday was accompanied by Steve Maltby on the piano who was hugely entertaining as ever, playing a range of classic songs which turned into an impromptu sing-along later in the afternoon.

Tobyn Dickinson, CEO of The Mayfield, said, “It was incredibly special to celebrate the Regatta and

Marj’s birthday at The Mayfield with everyone. There was a lovely atmosphere, and it was fascinating to hear lots of old Regatta stories and how it has been enjoyed by so many through the generations.” Preparations for the party took place throughout the week and were very enjoyable. The Mayfield’s residents crafted all sorts of decorations, including bunting and flags. Fresh bouquets of flowers also helped make the care home look magnificent!

There was also some good news received just prior to the event with the grandson of one of The Mayfield’s residents becoming the Under-26 World Bridge Champion! Brenda Thorpe was incredibly proud of Stefan’s achievement at the World Championships in Holland. Everyone enjoyed delicious food and drinks prepared by the Mayfield’s kitchen team, including Pimm’s and Botham’s French Fancies!

The next day several of The Mayfield’s residents enjoyed the Red Arrow display from the first floor which looks out over Whitby.

The Mayfield Care Home in Whitby is welcoming new residents for short- and long-term stays. If you or a loved one are interested in coming to live with us, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our friendly team is always happy to help – please call us on 01947 280 884.

Monthly Recipe

Pork Chops with Apple sauce

As we move towards autumn, here is a recipe perfect for your evening meal.

Pork has a reputation for being unhealthy, but when consumed in moderation it can make a good addition to a healthy diet.

Pork is rich in protein which contributes to the maintenance and growth in muscle mass and particularly good for the development of children's bones.

Pork is also a good source of zinc, selenium, B12 and B6 which all help the immune system.

Timings & Servings

Preparation: 20-25 minutes.

Cooking: 30 minutes + standing time.

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 pork chops on the bone - about 3cm / 1.5 inches thick at room temperature.

1½ tbsp sunflower oil

salt and pepper for seasoning

Chunky Apple Sauce

450g cooking apples, cored and diced.

4 tbsp caster sugar

finely grated zest 1/2 lemon

2 tsp lemon juice

4 tbsp water

¼ tsp ground cinnamon

knob of butter

Share your recipe?

Method

Preheat the oven to 200C / 180C Fan / Gas mark 6. To make the apple sauce: Place the chopped apples, lemon juice and zest, sugar, and water into a heavy based saucepan. Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until the apples are tender. Add the butter and the cinnamon and beat the apples until you have a chunky sauce (if you prefer smooth, puree them). Remove the pan from the heat and cover to keep the sauce warm.

Pat the pork chops dry and season well with salt and pepper. Heat the sunflower oil in a large oven-proof frying pan over a medium-high heat, and fry for 3 minutes each side to brown them.

Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and roast the chops for 7-10 minutes, until cooked through (the juices should run clear when you cut into a chop). Take the pan out of the oven, cover with foil and let the chops rest for a few minutes. Transfer the chops to a plate, spoon over the pan juices and serve with the apple sauce, mashed potato, and vegetable of choice.

SAY IT WITH FLOWERS! WHY A GIFT OF FLOWERS MEANS SO MUCH...

It’s one of the oldest gestures in society, the simple act of gifting flowers carries a meaningful symbolism that dates back hundreds of years. Flowers are a gift of beauty, and show the recipient that you care about their happiness and well-being. Whether for special occasions or spontaneous acts of kindness, giving flowers can make a lasting impression on the person you gift them to.

Flowers are considered a thoughtful gift for several reasons:

Symbolism: Flowers have various meanings and symbolism associated with them. Different types of flowers can convey different emotions and messages. For example, red roses traditionally represent love and passion, while lilies can symbolise purity and renewal. By choosing specific flowers, you can communicate your feelings and sentiments to the recipient without saying a word.

Beauty: Flowers are inherently beautiful and visually appealing. Their vibrant colours, delicate petals, and pleasing fragrances can instantly brighten up a room and uplift the recipient’s mood. The beauty of flowers can bring joy and happiness to the person receiving them.

Thoughtfulness: Sending flowers shows that you have taken the time and effort to consider the recipient’s tastes and preferences. It demonstrates that you care about them and that you want to make them feel special and appreciated.

Occasions: Flowers are commonly associated with various occasions and celebrations, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings. By gifting flowers on such occasions, you show your support, love, and best wishes for the person’s happiness.

Expressing emotions: Flowers can express emotions that might be challenging to put into words. They are a way to express love, sympathy, gratitude, apology, congratulations, or simply to brighten someone’s day.

Non-materialistic gesture: In a world filled with materialistic gifts, giving flowers can be a refreshing and thoughtful change. They represent a simple and sincere gesture of affection and care without any underlying expectations.

Temporary nature: Unlike many other gifts that last for an extended period, flowers have a temporary nature. Their transient beauty symbolises the transient nature of life and reminds us to appreciate and cherish the present moment.

Universal appeal: Flowers have a universal appeal and are appreciated by people of all ages and cultures. They can be gifted to friends, family members, romantic partners, colleagues, or anyone you want to show appreciation to.

Perhaps after reading consider a gift of flowers to a friend or loved one. It really will make their day.

EYE EXAMINATIONS ARE IMPORTANT! KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR CHILDS VISION!

When my son was eight, his teacher called me to one side. “I’m concerned about his lack of progress lately,” she said, “And when I asked him why he hadn’t copied the spellings down from the whiteboard this afternoon, he said he couldn’t see them.” This was how we discovered that Callum needed glasses. It had never been on my radar because no-one else in our family wears them apart from his grandparents, but most grandparents wear glasses because they are older, and older people wear glasses, right? It came as a bit of a shock that poor Callum had been struggling for so long. I’d always taken him for regular dental checks, but he’d never had a sight test!

#parentfail

A comprehensive eye examination ensures that a child has optimal vision, which plays a vital role in their education, participation in sports, and overall confidence. Additionally, eye examinations help identify conditions such as strabismus (where one of the eyes turns in or out), enabling early intervention and appropriate treatment.

engage in the classroom, meaning that their performance in school should improve.

Participation in sports is a valuable aspect of any child’s physical and social development. Poor vision can affect hand-eye coordination, depth perception, reaction time, and ultimately their enjoyment of sport. Regular eye examinations will detect any vision problems that may hinder a child’s ability to perform well in sports. In addition, optometrists and dispensing opticians can provide appropriate solutions, such as sports safety spectacles, prescription swimming goggles, or contact lenses.

Strabismus, commonly known as crossed or misaligned eyes, is a condition that requires early identification and intervention. Regular eye examinations from birth can detect strabismus in its early stages, allowing for prompt referral to a specialist. Early treatment can help correct the misalignment and improve the child’s binocular vision, depth perception, and overall visual function. Identifying and managing strabismus at a young age is crucial for optimal visual development and can prevent long-term complications.

Clear vision is essential for a child’s academic success. If vision problems remain unidentified, then the child may experience difficulties with reading, writing, and focusing on classroom activities, as Callum did. Regular eye examinations can identify refractive errors (such as short-sightedness, longsightedness, and astigmatism) and ensure that the child receives the necessary corrective measures, such as spectacles or contact lenses. By addressing their visual impairments, a child can then fully

If, like me, you are fortunate enough to have excellent vision, this does not automatically bestow that same privilege on your child. Children with poor sight do not always know that they have poor sight because they have nothing to compare it with! I could kick myself for not realising this sooner. Callum’s performance in school accelerated dramatically once he had the correct spectacles, and he’s gone on to do very well academically. The story might have been quite different but for his observant primary school teacher.

Think of regular eye examinations as an investment in your child’s future success. Examinations are free up to the age of 18 for those in full-time formal education.

A DOG IS THE ONLY THING ON EARTH THAT LOVES YOU MORE THAN HE LOVES HIMSELF

Back in April it was National Pet Month, a celebration for all animal lovers but more importantly an opportunity to raises awareness of responsible pet ownership through educational campaigns.

During the pandemic, many more families acquired a dog and there are now around 12 million pet dogs in the UK. Owning a dog comes with significant responsibilities, which are crucial not just for the well-being of your pet, but also for the safety of other people and animals in your community.

If you are thinking of introducing a four-legged friend to your household here are a few things to consider:

Adopt, don’t shop. In 2021, almost 27,000 dogs were rehomed from RSPCA shelters. This goes to show how many dogs there are living in dog shelters across the UK. There are many reasons why you should consider adoptoin. The main reasons being; 1. You’re saving a life; 2. You can find a fully trained dog; 3. You’ll know the dog’s personality and 4. Rescue dogs are often less expensive to adopt.

Can you afford to give him/her the basics. Your dog needs high-quality food appropriate for their age, breed, and size. They must have access to clean drinking water and a comfortable place to sleep. Regular check-ups at the vet for vaccinations, and preventative care are essential. Provide exercise and mental stimulation. Dogs are highly active , social animals that need to be able to run, play, and explore. Without adequate exercise, dogs can become overweight, lethargic, and develop behavioural issues. Mental stimulation such as interactive toys, puzzle games, or agility sessions are important to keep their minds active and engaged. Training time. Dogs that are not properly trained can be a nuisance or a danger to others. All dogs need basic obedience training, such as sit, stay, and heel, and socialisation so they can learn to get along with other people and animals. If your dog shows aggressive or fearful behaviour, seek

professional help from a certified dog trainer or behaviourist.

Obey the law. Keep your dog on a lead in designated areas and always clear up their poo. You can get lots of advice and professional guidance about caring for your dog from your local vets. You can also visit www.dogstrust.org. uk to access lots of resources on doggy care to help ensure you can enjoy a healthy, happy, and safe life together.

A Good Read

The Lie of the Land

by Amanda Craig

Lottie and Quentin Bredin are a middle-aged couple, living in London. Their marriage is crumbling because Quentin is a serial philanderer, for which Lottie partly blames herself. Despite belonging to what Lottie describes as the luckiest generation in British history, the couple find themselves financially strained and unable to afford a divorce after losing their jobs since the credit crunch.

In an unconventional decision, Lottie suggests renting a cheap cottage in Devon and letting out their London house. Thus, they move to the countryside in a kind of antithesis of the usual ‘escape to country story’. There they grapple with challenges including unwelcoming locals, their daughter being targeted by school bullies, and Lottie's mixed-race son from a previous marriage, being assumed to be an immigrant.

The Final Journey

by John F. Watson

The year is 1918 and Ruth Brennan faces the future with optimism after marrying childhood sweetheart, Jim Styles. Although the country remains gripped in poverty, Ruth believes that with hard work and youthful enthusiasm they will survive in this tough, but idyllic lifestyle.

But as the years pass, Ruth realizes the way of life that she has grown to love is changing as the younger generation move to pastures new. On receiving news that her father is desperately wanting to see her, will she be strong enough to meet him, or will it return her to the past? And what has brought gentleman horse-breeder, Jocylyn Dymock to the area? Is it just the new business venture, or is there something deeper? Surely, the strong bond of love from childhood between Ruth and Jim will overcome all adversities that lie before them?

As the family becomes more involved with the local community, the novel explores the messiness of family life and the absurdities of living in contemporary Britain. Craig skilfully juxtaposes the metropolitan and rural worlds which provides some truly funny moments, but darker elements start to emerge, including a sinister secret within the cottage which is the reason for the exceptionally low rent.

Quentin struggles to adapt to the new lifestyle, frequently returning to London and his affairs. However, as he spends more time with his family, he begins to reflect on his emotional flaws and how they may be intertwined with his own upbringing.

While the narrative provides an energetic exploration of the darker side of countryside living including casual racism and hostile neighbours, the heart of the story lies in the evolving relationship between Quentin and Lottie. The Lie of the Land deftly captures the capacity for change in individuals and the multifaceted nature of human relationships, and endings which are not necessarily neat and tidy.

A tough, endearing tale involving all the strong characters in the first two stories, that delves deep into a largely forgotten rural way of life and explores the emotions of love, conflict, and tragedies in equal measures, all set within the boundaries of the spectacular North York Moors.

Do not miss out on this third – and possibly – final book in the Ruth Brennan story! All three books can be purchased at local bookshops and garden centres, or by emailing the author John Watson at jfw660577@gmail.com

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

Garden for free!

By Rachael Leverton

Watching The Chelsea Flower Show this year, I was struck by how the hottest horticultural trends this year are budget-friendly. I assume that this was not an accident given the ongoing cost-of-living crisis in the UK. But whatever the reason there were many free and cheap garden ideas on show.

One of the hottest trends in the show garden was ‘weed-styling.’ Cleve West’s Centrepoint Garden was a masterclass in how to do this. Using ‘weeds’ or wildflowers is not only kind to your budget but also to the environment. Unsurprisingly, our native wildlife loves our native flora and dandelions are particularly good for bees. Encourage plants such as wild carrot, yarrow, ivy-leaved toadflax, common fennel, red valerian, and cow parsley.

Another trend on display was using rubble and reclaimed waste, which would otherwise go to landfill, to make a rockery, path, or wall. This look suits droughttolerant plants such as rosemary, sedums, lavender, sage, phlomis, thyme and oregano.

Chaos gardening is an actual thing! Collect up any seeds that you have lying around and scatter them throughout your flower beds. Mix up annual flowers with vegetables and, once established, it will produce a potager effect. I have one area of my garden called the ‘freebie corner.’ It is stocked only with gifted plants, or those I’ve gleaned from cuttings or even in the case of one rose bush, removed from a skip, with the owner’s permission!

Leading on from this, try planting self-seeders. I have loads of aquilegia, meadow cranesbill, poppies, verbena, and forget-me-nots. They pop up all over the garden in random clumps every year.

I am known for banging on about making your own compost, and here I simply urge you to just do it! Once your compost bin is established, you will barely ever have to pay for expensive bags of compost again. You can start any time, and use grass cuttings, shredded paper, veg peelings and eggshells. Your garden will love you.

You can also try wilding your lawn. This is not for everyone because some people like their grass neat. But if your lawn is a bit motheaten or you hate mowing, try letting it grow. You will be amazed at the flowers, and the insects they attract. The trick to making it look

like a style choice and not just neglect. You can choose to wild just certain areas, leaving a central space on which to sit or play, or mow a wide meandering path or two through the longer grass, or mow around the edge like a picture frame and keep the lawn well edged and the wild area contained to the centre. Try it. If you hate it, it’s simple enough to mow it short again! Your garden is your space. It should work with you and your budget to provide a place where you can relax.
