ere is your September/October issue of Yesmag and as usual there is something to interest everyone as well as our great selection of services and deals that each of our advertisers offer.
Don`t forget to try out Peter Osborne`s recipe of the month, I do and every one of them has tasted Delicious and remember if you want any information on the recipes or just want some ideas on other cooking issues then please call Peter as he is more than happy to offer his expertise. Our charity page this month is Great Ormond St Hospital, I am sure everyone is well aware of the fantastic things this organisation has achieved over the years and with a little help from us all can continue to do so, charitable events are being organised throughout the year by Great Ormond St please attend when possible and help where you can. The weather over the last couple of weeks has been strange, very warm but sadly constant rain, I have been trying to gravel my drive, nearly got to the end and then the dreaded rain, why couldn`t it have just waited for another day, if it wasn`t for the unpredictable weather in this country then I think quite a lot of us would not need to go on holiday. Mentioning holidays I am sure quite a lot of you are either away or excitingly planning it. I have been trying to book a holiday myself over the last couple of months but there is always something that needs sorting out first and then it gets put back, well I am determined not to let things delay it any longer. I want to try and go in September but the only thing that has stopped me booking it is, where do I want to go, I have been to Disney World in America and loved it, I have no children so it proves that anyone can go there and enjoy themselves, this time I want to be able to relax a bit as well as plenty to do if I wish, someone has mentioned Maldives but I am not sure , if anyone has any suggestions then please let me know, I enjoy most things but not a great swimmer, so any underwater activities are not for me, I don`t mind the water just not under it. Thank you once again for taking the time to read Yesmag, I look forward to any suggestions you may have that you would like to see in this magazine.

mare as I am sure some of you are aware , the expense of it all, is the biggest scare, if it wasn`t for buying my supplies from Richard Williams the building merchants in Llandudno Junction then my costs would be far worse, the deals I have gotten through them have been fantastic, if you require any building materials, I highly recommend you give them a try, there is an unbelievable difference between them and the usual building suppliers you find in the centre of town. If you drive a Renault then why not cut your service and maintenance costs considerably by going to RENOTECH located in Oswald St, Llandudno Junction You will be amazed at the savings you can make by trying them.

It took a little while to get used to, mind. I had the pleasure of the R26.R’s company for a week. And for much of that time it sat on my drive. Why? Well frankly it’s because it’s such a faff to use.
MOTORING REVIEW: Renaultsport Megane R26.R
L
Those padded racing seats are utterly brilliant when you’re pressing on, but a pain to get into when you just want to pop to the shops. And that racing harness? Superb at holding you in when you’re pulling 3G in bends, but it’s like strapping Matt Lucas into a mansized baby seat at all other times which just isn’t practical. But all that’s forgotten the minute you hit a twisty road. Once the 230bhp turbocharged engine is fully wound up this lightweight racer is a potent force on a dry, twisty road. With most of the sound deadening ripped out, you can hear every whine, every intake of breath as it charges forward. It’s totally intoxicating.
ocked in a basement of the Renault’s design department is, I imagine, a complete and utter nutter. Think Sloth from the Goonies mad. Shackled at the ankles and waist, every so often the Frenchman is fed one of the firm’s production cars to ‘play’ with. Sloth, or as he’s known in France, ‘Monsieur Sleuth’, takes out his pent-up frustration by ripping everything sensible out of the car. He tosses away those ‘useless’ rear seats, the stereo that makes him go all hands-over -the-ears-shaky-head weird is clawed out with his fingernails along with the ‘pointless’ sound deadening. All those working on the next Clio upstairs hear is the occasional scream of ‘structural rigidity’, echoing from the basement. Ripping the top off his paint and crayon set, Sleuth then gets to work colouring the wheels a ‘mad’ orange, before getting bored and sleeping off his attempts at car design in the corner. I’m pretty sure that’s exactly how this R26.R came about. There is, quite frankly, no sensible explanation for it. It’s either
The diet this car’s been on would put Fern Britton to shame. Rear seats, belts, passenger airbag, climate control, fog lamps, headlamp washers, CD player and soundproofing have all ended up in the recycling bin (thanks to Mnsr Sleuth, no doubt). A carbon fibre bonnet saves 7.5kg, those plastic windows a further 5.7kg and the carbonfibre Sabelt seats a whopping 25kg. This weight loss programme sheds an incredible 123kg over the Megane R26. And it’s this low kerb weight that’s the reason for some superb performance. The 0-60mph dash takes 5.9 seconds, but it’s the grip this thing generates coupled with classleading driver involvement that make it so utterly superb.
Monsieur Sleuth or the sign off process was handed to a 17-year-old work experience boy. Yes, the French have been known to produce some pretty mad machines, but this really is something else. That’s not to say I don’t like it. Quite the contrary. This is a car that in fact ticks a large number of boxes on my must-have list. Complete disregard for comfort? Check. Engine madder than the bloke that made it? Check. Grip levels that Bostik would be proud of? Again, check.
12
I applaud Renault for producing this car. Only 230 of the 450 production run will be coming to the UK and it’s a machine aimed squarely at the performance, track day enthusiast. Yes, if you’re dedicated, it could be used on a daily basis, but really this is a car that’s going to be bought alongside something far more comfortable and practical. No-one really uses a Caterham or Porsche GT3 on a daily basis do they? And the R26.R is easily as uncompromising – but as exciting – as both of those cars. And that’s why I love it. by James Baggott, editor of Car Dealer Magazine, www.CarDealerMag.co.uk

Gardening - Planting Spring-Flowering Bulbs when you try to plant something else. You could of course label the area but many people don't wish to have labels in their garden. Planting bulbs in containers is one way to avoid this problem. To provide an impressive display of blooms it is possible to place two layers of bulbs in one container making sure they don't overlap. Bury a circle of bulbs a little deeper than normal, cover with a layer of soil, leaving the tips slightly visible. Then plant another circle offset from the deeper one before covering completely. You can pack bulbs more tightly into containers than you would do in the garden, but do remember to keep them well watered as pots dry out very quickly. For bulbs planted in your flower beds, an innovative method to avoid mislaying them is to take photographs when they are in full bloom. Then you can refer back at a later date before planting on top of them.
S
eptember is the time to buy and plant spring flowering bulbs such as daffodils, crocuses, and alliums although there are many more exotic plants to choose from. Some bulbs, such as tulips or grape hyacinths can be planted later—up to the first frosts. Select bulbs that are firm, dry and as large as possible as the larger bulbs are more mature and more likely to produce flowers. Make sure there are no obvious signs of mildew or disease and avoid any that have already started to sprout green shoots. Plant immediately after buying them to reduce the potential for disease and poor flowering. If you aren't able to get them in the ground straightaway, keep them cool and dry until you are ready, but try not to leave it longer than a week if possible. Dependent upon the variety, most bulbs prefer a warm, sunny site with good drainage. Healthy soil is extremely important as bulbs are very prone to rotting in heavy, wet soils. If you are plagued with this type of soil don't despair as thoroughly digging over and improving the soil with coarse sand or grit can prove extremely beneficial. Don't just dig a bulb-sized hole, fill with sand and pop it in as this will just provide a means for water to collect and the bulb will disintegrate rapidly. Cultivate the entire area to reap the benefits later.
Besides, it's always great to have pretty pictures of your garden in its full glory to look at during the bleak months of winter. © 2009 Rose Henfrey

ERIC WYNNE 01492 585075
Planting depth, as a general rule, should be about two to three times deeper than the size of the bulb, with a similar distance between each plant. Placing the bulbs too deeply or shallowly in the ground will result in either poor flowering or complete failure. Another quick route to disappointment is to plant the bulb upside down, which is surprisingly easy to do with some species. Look carefully at the bulb and you should be able to make out the difference between the root end and the shoot end. If you really can't work it out then hedge your bets by planting it on its side; nature will take the correct course. It's best to plant in groups as the resulting floral display will be more dramatic. A drift of colour created by a single species produces a vibrant highlight in your garden. Naturalising spring flowering bulbs is very easy and a beautiful way to brighten up ‘dead’ areas around the base of trees. Ideal plants for this are woodland species such as scillas, anemones, winter aconite and crocuses. The key to making the display look natural is to just gently drop the bulbs onto the ground and plant them where they land. The most frustrating aspect of bulbs is that you cannot see any sign of them during their dormant period, leading to accidental slicing up

Health
Keep fit for the Brain by Lorraine Mace
eurobics, invented by Lawrence Katz and Manning Rubin, are mental exercises, teasers and puzzles designed to give your brain a good workout – and anyone can do them. Because our everyday actions are largely automatic, they require less brain activity than behaviour that causes us to think. Imagine cleaning your teeth with the ‘wrong’ hand, or switching your cutlery so that you are using the knife in the fork hand and vice versa – these are examples of neurobic exercises which are said to slow aging of the brain.
N
Using all your senses in different ways to the norm, even making small changes in your daily routine, can stimulate the brain – and the beauty of it is that neurobics can be done anywhere and at anytime. Apparently, using your left hand if you're right-handed, or your right if you're left-handed, will stimulate parts of the brain that aren’t normally in use. To qualify as a neurobic exercise the action has to engage your attention and make the brain work. In other words, it has to be different from the way you tackle everyday events. You have to make your activities unusual, fun and/or surprising. Fortunately, this isn’t difficult to do.
Examples of neurobic workouts
Instead of following the usual roads, why not drive to work or the train station using a different route?
Lay out your clothes on the bed and then get dressed with your eyes closed
As already mentioned, try brushing your teeth with the other hand – this is nowhere near as easy as you might imagine Shower or bath with your eyes closed – this engages senses not usually needed when bathing
When you get home, don’t look for your key, feel for it instead and then unlock the door with your eyes closed – this forces your sense of touch to take over
Use your opposite hand to operate the TV remote control
Rearrange your desk so that nothing is where your brain expects to find it
Put a new fragrance next to the bed so that you smell it on waking – this immediately stimulates up your sense of smell
Empty your purse or wallet, close your eyes and try to distinguish the coins by sense of touch only – if you get really good at that, try working out the notes by size and feel
Change your normal weekend activities to something completely different or unexpected. If you are an outdoor person, try an indoor sport such as ten pin bowling. If you’re an indoor person, try going to the park or nearest green area.
Turn the sound off on the television and get your partner or a friend to take turns in making up the dialogue – apart from anything else, you’ll end up laughing, which is always good for body and mind. Even if you only do one thing each day that is out of the norm, your brain will thank you for it by becoming more active.
Did you Know? (We didn’t……..) The words „abstemious‟ and „facetious‟ both have all the 5 vowels in order A “Gelotologist” is a person who studies laughter One ton of grapes can produce 720 bottles of wine A crocodile cannot stick its tongue out. ………………………...“Well, I Never” 20

ith its coastline designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, historic Anglesey is a delight for walkers and nature lovers. The superb sign-posted Coastal Path is 220 km long (124 miles) and follows virtually the entire coastline, taking in or passing near many of Anglesey’s top sights; but there are many other attractions. The island is located off the northwest coast of Wales and at around 720 square kilometres (278 square miles) is one of Britain’s largest with a population of some 70,000. It is connected to Wales across the Menai Strait by two bridges. Holyhead is the largest town; it has a wide range of shops, a maritime museum and the award winning Ucheldre Arts Centre. St Cybi’s Church, overlooking the harbour, is noted for its stone carvings and stained glass windows. The historic town of Beaumaris on the Menai is best known for its 13th century castle, but also has a famous 1614 courthouse and a grim gaol (now a museum). Visitors can take a cruise to Puffin Island with its many bird species; there are grey seals to be seen and occasionally, bottlenose dolphins and harbour porpoises. Located on the northeast corner of the island, Amlwych is the former exporting port for the open-cast copper mine at Parys Mountain; this can be entered free. The small tidal Llanddwyn Island lies off the west coast and is part of the National Nature Reserve of Newborough Warren. It can be reached on foot except at the highest tides and the neighbouring

beach has blue flag status. Landdwyn, also has an interesting lighthouse marking the entrance to the Menai Strait. Anglesey has numerous other beaches which include Rhosneigr, Red Wharf Bay, Moelfre, Llandona, Penmon, Benllech, Traeth Lligwy, Borth Wen and Porth Trecastell/Cable Bay. Situated on the Menai Strait at Brynsiencyn, the Anglesey Sea Zoo is the largest marine aquarium in Wales and has over 150 species. You can enter a shipwreck containing conger eels, walk the shark pool grids and visit the newly built No Bone Zone with octopuses. Other attractions include an adventure playground and you can fish for your own Japanese pearl to have set as a jewellery item of your choice while you wait. Close to the Menai Bridge is the Butterfly Palace where hundreds of butterflies from all over the world can be seen in a tropical environment and there is also a reptile house and many more attractions. Cribinau, a tiny tidal island off the southwest coast, can be reached on foot at low tide and has the 13th century St Cwyfan’s church. Also in the southwest is the village of Malltreath, a centre for bird life and home of the wildlife artist Charles Tunnicliffe (1901-1979). The island has a number of prehistoric sites of which the best known is Bryn Celli Ddu with a burial chamber which can be entered. It is close to the Menai Bridge and the villages of Llanddaniel and Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, which has the longest official place name in the United Kingdom.

How to plan the perfect dinner party
Di
nner parties are the perfect way to entertain friends, get into the good books of your boss and celebrate special occasions. Here, we show you how to create the perfect evening in... 1) Choose a theme – what kind of occasion is it? Should the dress code be informal or smart? If you’re looking to relax people who have never met why not go for fancy dress, such as a Bollywood curry evening or a Mexican chilli and tequila night! Even Halloween. 2) Check before you cook – are there any vegetarians or vegans amongst your party? Does anyone have any allergies? Make sure you know exactly what people can and can’t eat – there’s nothing worse than serving up your food only to find that your guest can’t touch a thing on the plate. 3) Plan your menu – keep it simple. Don’t overstretch yourself or do something you’ve never cooked before, and ensure that most of the prep can be done before – you want to spend as much time as possible with your guests. 4) Drinks – gather a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and try to cater for people’s specific tastes. Offer some fizz or punch on arrival, red and white wine with the meal and liqueurs for after-dinner coffee. Have plenty of water on the table and options for drivers, too. 5) Hygiene – wash your hands, tie or clip your hair back - and ladies, take any nail varnish off before cooking. If your husband’s boss is coming round, he won’t appreciate a nice long hair in his Lasagne Verdi! Keep pets and children out of the kitchen and ensure food is cooked thoroughly.
54
6) Be original – arrange an Easter egg-type hunt by moonlight, hire an entertainer or prepare some simple games such as ‘guess who’, ‘win, lose or draw’ or charades. 7) Decorate – go to town with the table by adding soft lighting, candles, wine and water glasses, napkins and a centre-piece if you’re feeling artistic. To add that extra atmosphere, don’t forget to have some music playing in the background.
