Hello Spring!

EDITOR’S LET TER

I’m happy and relieved to see spring bloom after what has been a long, tedious winter. York is a gorgeous place to be at this time of year and we know that better days are on the horizon.

The inspiration doesn’t stop there, we’re celebrating the concept of more is more in our maximalism inspired property feature and resident gardener, Tony Chalcraft, is growing shallots.

This issue we’re looking forward to Easter with some easy to execute recipes, and for sunnier days, we’ve listed some outdoor venues that are now open for visitors.

There’s a little bit of something for everyone, and if there’s something you’d like to see, but can’t find, my inbox is always open to suggestions! Email krystal@ yourlocallink.co.uk and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

There have been lots of exciting moves being made in York: York Against Cancer got the keys to their new premises at the LNER stadium, Antique Restoration owner, Steve Popple, has been on the telly, and there’s a giant six-foot teddy bear for sale in aid of charity.

HOROSCOPES ARIES On a superficial level, your moods might be lifted by the advent of Spring, but beneath the surface, there is a simmering resentment against – well, just about everything. The world is wrong, you can’t change it, and this makes you angry and frustrated! Partners try to please

TAURUS 20

APR - 20TH MAY

Spring hath sprung… Not that it will do you much good. There is an urge to spread your wings and fly, but given all sorts of restrictions (not just C-19), you’ll be lucky to get as far as York or Harrogate. Nevertheless, April is a good month for resolving issues (including health issues) that have been ongoing for just a bit too long, and this should lift your spirits on one level, at least.

and appease, but they don’t really know how you feel, and you can’t tell ‘em because you don’t really know yourself. You’ll be looking ahead to later in the year, knowing that you’ve got an awkward decision to make. Do you hang on to something, or cut it free

GEMINI 21

MAY - 20TH JUN

Money matters and finances seem to be the cornerstones of interest throughout April and although there may be more going out than there is coming in, you should be satisfied that you are getting value for money. Anything to do with pensions and insurance policies will be relevant, and this should be the right time to call in old favours and loans, especially from within the family circle.

ASTROLOGIST

James Christie

21ST MAR - 19th APR and let it go? You’ll swither about this one, but in this astrologer’s opinion, the favoured option will be to let it go. This would certainly be the most advantageous financial option and will open the doors to other options. Boredom on the work scene can be alleviated by committing yourself

CANCER

21ST JUN - 22ND JUL

A satisfying month on many levels! Emotionally, you’ll be able to put past failures behind you, leaving you free to explore new romantic opportunities… and there should be no shortage of those, regardless of age or gender! Some ‘new’ money coming into the pot, created and generated by a partner or spouse, and female members of the sign should be making important new friends.

to new projects, but I’d be the first to admit that you might find it hard to come up with any great degree of enthusiasm. You’ll be planning a journey, which will take place just as soon as the pandemic sets you free.

LEO 23

It’s a good money month, but there are likely to be tensions in relationships that put you in the position of having to choose which is more important. Love or Money? You can have both, but not without some compromises, and the secret will be in knowing where to draw the line. How far will you go? How much can you bend? If you’re looking to improve an existing relationship, you can succeed. If you’re looking to reignite an old one, you probably can’t.

We t will bea e uin n e g y an like like-fort o u q e

JUL - 22ND AUG

When you respond to an ad, we’d be chuffed to bits if you mentioned that you found it in Your Local Link.

AUG - 22ND SEPT

A decision will be made on the basis of “do I take a risk or exercise caution?” In my opinion, the latter option is the best bet. If you’ve got to put off until July something you wanted to do in April or May, this is the safest option, and even then, old work patterns may have to change to make these things possible. Therefore, if a partner is asking you for advice you know what to tell ‘em.

LIBRA 23RD SEPT - 22ND OCT There will be a number of offers and opportunities being presented to you this month. Don’t slam the door in anyone’s face, but do look carefully and closely before you leap – especially if it involves leaps of faith! You have worked very hard at resolving several old problems, and this is not the time to replace them with others. Also, be a little ‘health aware’ towards the month’s end.

SCORPIO 23

OCT - 21ST NOV

Some emotional healing going on throughout the month; broken love affairs can be mended, old wounds can be healed. However, just to complicate things, NEW romantic interests raise their heads, putting you in a quandary as to which pathway to follow. Either way, promises and commitments will be made putting you on a much more stable and even keel. NOV SAGITTARIUS 22 - 21 DEC ND

On the upside, this is a hopeful month wherein a lot of things that have been impossible now become possible. There is an element of optimism with you, and

some very good news concerning family matters. On the downside, there will still be frustrations and delays, especially in connection with travel aspects, and you need to be flexible in your timetables

YORK LIFE

VIRGO 23

CAPRICORN -2219 DEC JAN ND

Seems to be a lot of money being moved around this month. Maybe you’re robbing Peter to pay Paul, or more hopefully, you’re in a position to buy a few things that you might not need, but very much want. Money spent on property looks likely, even if it’s only DIY or home improvement and travel aspects are favourable, even if it is only an extension of local journeys JAN AQUARIUS 20 - 18 FEB TH

A fairly good month where jobs and businesses are concerned, but some frustration on the home front when a partner/spouse opposes some of your plans and ambitions. This does not necessarily lead to arguments, maybe just some negative atmospheres bordering on stony silences! Nevertheless, delays and compromises are better than confrontations, so in the short term, go with the flow.

PISCES 19

FEB - 20TH MAR

There is a gentle, but nevertheless lovely, sense of freedom coalescing around you for the duration of the month, and for the first time in a long time, you will feel much more in charge of your own fate and destiny. You will be breaking away from some old restrictions and if other people want you to play a part in their lives they will have to accept the ‘new’ you.

The Stamp Duty Land Tax HolidayHow does it affect me? By Philip Robinson, Director of Residential Conveyancing

I am planning to buy a house in the next two months. Am I too late to benefit from the Stamp Duty Land Tax holiday? In the July 2020 Budget, The Chancellor introduced a Stamp Duty Land Tax “holiday” which increased the standard rate SDLT threshold from £125,000 to £500,000. This holiday was initially expected to end on 31st March 2021 but has now been extended until 30th June 2021. Therefore, for anyone buying a residential dwelling completing before 1st July 2021, standard rate SDLT will not become payable until the consideration exceeds £500,000. This has now been further extended and tapered so that parties paying residential SDLT between 1st July and 30th September 2021 will benefit from an increased standard rate threshold from £125,000 to £250,000. As a result of the SDLT holiday, the residential market has become very busy and certain processes within a conveyancing transaction have significantly slowed down. Therefore, whilst there is still time to benefit from the SDLT holiday, it would be advised to start as soon as possible to give yourself as much time as possible for the conveyancing process to be done properly. I am buying an investment property through my company. Will I be able to benefit from the SDLT holiday? During the SDLT holiday, the standard rate SDLT threshold has been increased to £500,000 before 1st July 2021 and will come down to £250,00 until 1st October 2021. This will benefit all parties buying residential property in England. However, where a company buys residential property for more than £40,000 there is currently a 3% surcharge payable in addition to standard rate SDLT. This surcharge has not changed during the current “holiday” and it is still payable unless the transaction falls under one of the HMRC exemptions. I understand that there is a new SDLT rate payable for non-residents. What is this? From the 1st April 2021, new rates of SDLT will apply to purchases of residential dwellings by individuals and companies who are not resident in the UK. If a purchaser is not present in the UK for at least 183 days during the 12 months before their purchase, then they will be classed as not resident in the UK and their transaction will be subject to a 2% surcharge payable over the total consideration. Corporate buyers are non-UK resident if they are not UK resident for Corporation Tax purposes at the effective date of the transaction.

Doing that will really help our advertisers make great decisions about where to advertise.

WANDERER WALKING WITH THE

THE FOSS, BOOTHAM STRAY AND CLIFTON BACKIES

Starting just north of the city centre, this walk of about six miles offers a tour of some of York’s lesser known green spaces. After following the River Foss upstream for about two miles, it takes field paths to Bootham Stray, the least well-known of the city’s four strays. Exploring the stray on both sides of Wigginton Road, the route then ventures into the under-appreciated Clifton Backies, a local nature reserve. A short stretch on streets follows before the final stretch heads along a traffic-free cycle route. Some sections of this route, especially alongside the Foss at the start and on the way to Bootham Stray, may be very muddy. Appropriate footwear is essential. a slightly raised bank following the Foss as it loops left to another kissing gate.

Continue, going under a road bridge (Link Road, an alternative starting point) and turn left up the signed cycle/footpath parallel to keeping by the river with houses and garages to the ring road. Cross over the railway and descend the left. At the next bridge (Station Avenue, Hound the slope. Where this levels, look out for a kissing Lounge café to the right) keep on the left side of the gate on the left. Go through this to continue along river.

The recommended starting point is the roundabout at the junction of Haxby Road and Haley’s Terrace near the Joseph Rowntree Theatre. If driving, limited roadside parking is available on nearby streets. Alternative starting points include the Link Road bridge at New Earswick and the Wigginton Road/ Crichton Avenue junction. The recommended starting point is easily reached by bus from the city centre, both routes 1 and 5 stopping on Haxby Road opposite the Joseph Rowntree Theatre. Bus 1 also serves New Earswick while Crichton Avenue can be reached by bus route 6.

Refreshments For light refreshments on the route, there’s the Hound Lounge at Station Avenue New Earswick (closed Mon. and Wed.) and The Coffee House on Crichton Avenue. Slightly off route is the café at New Earswick Folk Hall and the Blacksmith’s Arms in Huntington village.

What to see A surprising amount of wildlife can be seen on the Foss. For more information, see The River Foss Society website (www.riverfosssociety.co.uk/wildlife-on-thefoss-2/). Bootham Stray is mainly open grassland with a remote feel. The section west of Wigginton Road is more enclosed and diverse with new tree plantings and hedgerows. Clifton Backies nature reserve was formerly part of Clifton Airfield. It contains a diverse range of habitats and is one of the best nature sites near the city centre. More information can be found at www.cliftonbackies.org.uk. DISCLAIMER: Walks are undertaken at your own risk. Due care must be taken in following the walk, particularly after poor weather. Whilst every care is taken in compiling the description changes may have occurred since publication. Neither the walk author nor Your Local Link can accept any responsibility for errors or omissions.

5 Cross straight over the road (Wigginton Road) and go through the kissing gate opposite. Cross the field heading towards a gap in the hedge. In the next field do not go right on a faint grassy track towards buildings but head slightly left over the grass towards a gate in the bush line. Go through the gate, entering Clifton Backies, and follow the hard-surfaced path as it leads through scrubby trees. Ignore all ways off, soon passing an open grassy area on the left to a crossing tarmac cycle/footpath. Turn left here following the tarmac to a street accessed through a gap in metal railings. Go down the

street to the roundabout and go straight across into Crichton Avenue passing shops to the right. Head up over the railway to approach traffic lights at the junction with Wigginton Road.

6 Just before the lights take the signed path on the right going down steps by blue barriers to the cycle track. Go left, under the bridge and continue on the trail. Approaching the next bridge go left up the slope signed ‘Haxby Road North’ to join Haxby Road. Turn left here for 200 metres back to the recommended starting point at the roundabout with Haley’s Terrace.

go to the left to find a stile in the corner alongside the railway line. After crossing the stile, continue ahead alongside the railway to the left. The route can now be muddy and wet in places. Pass through several kissing gates and by a field of tall miscanthus grass on the right to eventually enter grassy Bootham Stray. Keep the railway line on the left until reaching a shallow ditch and hedge running across to the right with a few isolated trees visible in the grass beyond. Here veer right away from the railway heading just to the right of the trees. A grass track coming from a railway crossing on the left will soon be seen.

TIME TO CHANGE Steve Popple of Antique Restoration, York, starred as one of the experts on Channel Four’s programme, Mend It for Money recently. Filmed in Glasgow, the show takes a dive into the world of collectables, antiques and restoration. Guests bring their artefacts to Britain’s best makers and menders in the hopes of restoring them and making a profit. In the series, Steve repairs a commode, a haberdashery unit and his personal favourite, a gentleman’s compactum: “The gentleman’s compactum is a fantastic piece from a bygone era. From the 1920s: it’s for a proper English gentleman. It’s a wardrobe that has special compartments for everything you even have a special place for your opera hat. These things just don’t exist anymore,” said Steve. For each of the restoration projects, two of the country’s top craftspeople will compete to get the job: pitching their plans and estimating how much profit the item will make when sold and agreeing to a share with the owner. The show narrator, Tom Allen, summarised it neatly: “It’s basically restorers competing to do up furniture and sell it for the most profit.

It’s like Antiques Roadshow with the added fun of capitalism.” Since the show, Steve has been recognised by his existing customers and has got some new customers, too. Up-cycling has become incredibly popular of late, but Steve and his colleagues at Antique Restoration have been doing this for a long time: “This new idea of up-cycling, we’ve been doing it for 30 years. That’s what we do. When people have furniture that’s a bit tatty and might end up in a skip, well if we can breathe some more life into it without felling any more trees, it’s got to be a good thing for the planet.” And what’s more, it’s not as expensive as people might think: “I think it’s important that people get to see that we’re not actually colossally expensive. There is the assumption of ‘oh it’s antiques, it’s going to be expensive,’ it’s not - I don’t drive a Ferrari!” If you have a piece of furniture you’d like restoring, you can call Antique Restoration on 01904 400728 or

YORK

The handling of the pandemic by the National League is on the agenda this month for our resident sports writer and York City F.C. fan, Simon Pattinson. Hello and welcome to a new column in 2021. Not only does it feel like it's been a while since I last spoke to you, but the same can also be said about seeing any sporting action. York City played their first-ever fixture against AFC Fylde at the LNER Community Stadium. A game result, that ended in defeat and a result that given the decision to null and void the season, now technically no longer exists. And quite frankly, I'm happy about that! It was never the way to see in a new era at the new stadium, not to mention fans not being able to be there. York City’s season has been so stop-start since it began back in October and unsurprisingly, the National League made a massive mess of the financial packages and now they have ended the season with nothing. The way the National League has dealt with these situations over the past year leaves me feeling less and less confident with the way they have gone about it all: putting many teams at risk for a variety of reasons. The time it has taken to make decisions has left fans and clubs feeling angry and unsupported. It's not the way it should

20 20

be and I know it's been uncertain times, but these are the times where you need the people who make decisions to step up. They have failed to do so in my opinion. The mini-league idea, suggested by fellow National League North and South clubs who wished to fulfil their league season, being rejected is a fine example of that. Whether you agree with the idea or not, it felt like a bitter pill to swallow and a decision that could seem like a slap in the face to deliver any integrity to the league pyramid. Now it is time to put the season behind us and prepare for the new one and welcome crowds into the new stadium and with those steps in place to allow that to happen in the summer will be an incredible sight for City fans and football fans up and down the country being allowed in to see their teams once again. Questions are being asked about the team and manager Steve Watson as to whether they are good enough to get us out of this league, frankly, I say now is a time to back him and Steve Watson and judge this squad in a season where we are not so stop-start, perhaps a few stronger

additions and one or two centre forwards who will score goals is what this side is crying out for if there was anything to take from this season it would certainly be that. The York City Knights also played at the LNER Stadium for the first time in March and what an exciting time it is to be a Knights fan. They were back in action in a friendly against Hull FC in a close encounter that ended in a

22-28 defeat. For their first game in nearly a year, it was an incredible game and an excellent performance. I think many will have seen so many signs to be positive, and with the side that James Ford has put together, there is a real possibility that Super League could truly be in their grasp this year when the season starts in a few weeks.

MOTORING NEWS WHICH IS THE BEST ELECTRIC VEHICLE TO OWN IN A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE? With the recent pandemic, where the world came to an almost-apocalyptic stop, the energy nerds over at Myenergi had a lot of time to ponder some of life's unanswered questions. As electric car charger manufacturers, they wanted to know: which is the best Electric vehicle to own to survive a zombie apocalypse? A range of factors were considered for the competition, including range (how far away could you get off one charge?) speed, habitability, stealthiness and defence capabilities. So without further ado, the contenders: Contender Number 1 - Tesla Model S Elon Musk’s Tesla Model S boasts the furthest range with an incredible 405 miles from one charge, meaning it can drive the furthest away from any zombieinfested areas. Teslas, by nature, are packed full of impressive features and modes. Pop on the digital LED campfire to help you relax and block out the crazed world outside. Or engage the Bio Weapon Defence Mode so that you won't become infected yourself. Tesla's vehicle automation features are also on another scale, with the ability to summon your car

to drive towards you, great when running from a herd of zombies. Zombie apocalypse survivability rating 7/10 Contender Number 2 - Smart EQ Fortwo Imagining a swarm of zombies chasing this vehicle through the streets of London is quite a comical thought. However, there is something quite charming and down to earth about the prospect. The Smart mini cars were always for cities and never boasted to be anything other than that, but inner-city street parking in the event of a zombie apocalypse. It's the smallest car on our list and possibly the quietest, so scores reasonably highly on stealthiness if you need to hide behind a large rubbish bin. The Tridion Safety Cell is this vehicle's secret weapon which acts like a race car roll cage to give the driver ultimate protection. Zombie apocalypse survivability rating 3/10 Contender Number 3 - Rivian R1T Pickup Truck With 300 miles of range in a vehicle packed with muscle and grit, it’s already a contender. Driving across difficult mountainous terrain and setting up

camp far away from danger is easy for the Rivian R1T. Like the Tesla, this vehicle has several tricks in its trunk, including Driver+ which is made up of cameras, 5 radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors to offer an automated driving experience. Your car will steer by itself, automatically adjust speed and change lanes on your command. Considering this EV’s size, it doesn't fall short on speed either, with an admirable 0 - 60 in just 3 seconds. Zombie apocalypse survivability rating 9/10 Contender Number 4 – The Tesla Cybertruck It's as though Elon had designed this car purely for a zombie apocalypse. The trimotor all-wheel-drive Tesla Cybertruck is due to be released in winter 2021. The Cybertruck is built with an exoskeletal shell made for ultimate durability and passenger protection, so we know

BUSINESS

RUNNING A BUSINESS AT YOU MIGHT FROM HOME: WH NEED TO KNOW This pesky pandemic has been an incredibly tough time for business in general, but it’s also been an exciting time for many people setting up their own businesses from home. If you’re new to operating a business from your home, Simon Roberts, Senior Associate Solicitor from DAS Law has outlined some rules that might apply to you. Q. Do I need permission to set up my business from home? You will need to consider who you will need to obtain permission from to run a business from your home. If you are renting the property you will need to get permission from your landlord and check the tenancy agreement. If you have a mortgage on your home, you may need permission from your mortgage provider. If running a business from your home is unlikely to cause any disruption to your neighbours, it is unlikely that you will need planning permission. For example, if your business is largely run by you alone from the computer in your office, this is unlikely to affect anyone. However, you may need planning permission if your business will require or

cause any of the following: •Noticeable increase in people coming to the home (customers, for example); • A sign outside to draw attention to the business; • Storage of things related to the business on the outside of the property; or • Any other activities that wouldn’t be expected in a residential area. You should talk to your local council or planning office if you have any doubts over whether or not your business will need planning permission. Q. How does working from home affect my tax? If part of your home is used exclusively for business purposes, you will need to pay business rates on that part of the property – for example, if part of your home is used as a shop and nothing else. But if you are running a business on your computer from your bedroom, or your office can also be used as a living area, you would not need to pay these taxes on your bedroom or office. Q. How does working from home affect my self-assessment tax return? If you are a sole trader or part of a

business partnership, you can use what is known as simplified expenses if you work for 25 hours or more from home. This means you can pay a flat rate for some of your business expenses, rather than working out exactly how much of your home bills were spent on business. Doing this, you can claim back a portion of your household costs, such as council tax, heating and internet bills, based on how many hours you spent working at home each month. Q. What insurance do I need? It is likely that your home or contents insurance will not cover aspects of your business if you are working from home, particularly if you are storing a large amount of stock or you have customers entering the premises. If you have customers or other members of the public entering your home, you will need public liability insurance. You will also need employer’s liability insurance if you have employees working on the premises.

ASK THE EXPERT...

Julie Wilson, straight-talking Yorkshire financial planner

We can all agree that the pandemic was an unexpected blow to everyone across the globe. Some may think that the pandemic has made them realise the importance of good friendships and relationships, with many people turning to zoom calls or phone calls to get together with friends and check up on loved ones.

But what about business relationships in the finance industry? There’s been some good and bad behaviour over the past year- some businesses have supported their clients more than ever, but others didn’t seem to have the presence their clients needed them to have at such an uncertain time. In 2020, the Financial Ombudsman Service received over 3,500 COVIDrelated complaints, some of which concerned the lack of communication between consumers and businesses. We’re more than aware that businesses have struggled this past year, but in our opinion, it’s not an excuse to be distant from clients. Some businesses really need to up their game. Our relationships with clients will always be at the forefront of everything we do, even when the unexpected happens. Our ability to adapt and move our services to digital has ensured that our clients have been kept well informed and we have been able to provide the high standard of service we pride ourselves on. As a comparison tool, let us give you some examples of how we adapted to keep delivering a high-quality service to our clients: · Check in calls and emails · Investments updates · Webinars · Meetings and annual reviews over phone, Zoom, Skype or Teams · Lists of local food delivery services for those shielding · Monthly newsletters · Someone is always in the office, which helps keep on top of post · Team are fully set up to work from home · Began the creation of our portal for secure messaging

NOT LONG NOW All being well, Monday the 12th of April is the day we can again welcome you all back to our showrooms at Monks Cross in York, Acomb and Harrogate - and we can’t wait! During the third and (please let it be!) final lockdown, we have been busy upgrading our Monks Cross Store to add to our collection of appliances, televisions and kitchen displays. We have added another three kitchen spaces and also a media room. There’s also now smart lighting and sound, bathroom displays, home office solutions and both built-in and walk-in wardrobes. The dust will hopefully have settled by the 12th and we will be able to welcome you to see some really exciting kitchen designs that include a gin bar area (who doesn’t LOVE a gin nowadays!?) and some beautiful traditional in-frame shaker designs that we hope even Tom Howley

wouldn’t turn his nose up at. We fully project manage all our installations, so you know that what you have ordered is what you will get. Melanie, our designer, will not only agree on the perfect design for your space with you but will instruct all the different trades required to finish the job, including our own electricians and third party contractors like flooring specialists, tilers, decorators and worktop experts. Finally, a huge thank you to all our loyal and new customers who have shopped with us during the lockdowns, it’s not been easy at times as we remember those no longer with us, but we are looking forward to a return to some sort of normality where we can again welcome you all into our showrooms. From all at Team Todd’s

It’s been an eventful few months again, hasn’t it? I don’t know about you, but I’ve missed Your Local Link and am so pleased it’s back again – to me, it signifies the start of us all turning a corner and getting back to what is the new normal. In the course of this year, I will be looking at the new trends in bathrooms, what’s hot and what’s not, and I’ll hopefully be giving you a few pointers of what to look out for if you decide to embark upon a new bathroom this year. Let’s face it, I don’t think any of us will be getting away for a holiday safely, so why not put your holiday money towards that long-awaited luxurious bathroom you have been looking for whilst also adding value to your home? The key this year is to work safely, and 80% of the Karemel Bespoke Bathrooms Ltd workforce have already had their first vaccine (the remaining 20% are the young guns who are just waiting for their call up). We intend to ensure your safety and ours and are still only sourcing our products through local suppliers who have

Rated ‘Excellent’ with over 1000 reviews

safety measures in place and LOCAL can guarantee EXPERT MEL supply in full and on time. COLLIER The one thing I will say to you all is the earlier you book anything in with a contractor, the better as everyone is now clamouring for those installation slots and they are booking up fast. But I will warn you that if any of my team or indeed, myself comes and sees you before April 12th when the hairdressers and barbers reopen, we are all looking a bit like yetis! Please keep safe everybody, and welcome back!

t n a l P o t e Tim

s t o l l a Sh

Not many gardeners grow shallots nowadays. It’s another crop that’s gone out of fashion. This is a pity as shallots are one of the easiest vegetables to grow. I’ve never known them fail to produce a worthwhile crop. Shallots are, of course, closely related to onions, leeks and garlic. All are members of the allium family. Like garlic, shallots grow in clusters. Although shallots can be grown from seed, it’s far easier to grow them, as with onions, from sets (baby bulbs). Unlike onions where the set swells but stays a singleton, shallot sets multiply producing additional bulbs as they develop (e.g. the ‘parent’ set put in the ground develops offshoots). At harvest, a well-grown plant or clump can yield eight to ten individual bulbs. Cold tolerant shallot sets can be planted in November but getting them in the ground when the worst of the winter weather has past is the more usual, and reliable, practice. Unless the soil is very wet or frozen I aim to plant in March. Planting is much the same as for onion sets. Using a trowel or dibber the shallot set is placed in the soil so just the tip is poking above the surface. Spacing should

be more generous than with onion sets, about 25cm apart is the minimum distance. Much closer and competition between plants will lead to smaller bulbs at harvest. Because the sets are planted early when conditions can be cold it may take some time for some of the sets to shoot. Fear not though, it’s unusual for all but a handful not to sprout. Once a spiky cluster of green shoots appear and begin growing there’s not much to do other than keep down weeds which, as with onions, can swamp the crop if not controlled. Shallots planted in early spring should be ready for harvesting from mid-July. When the foliage starts to yellow and dieback each clump should be carefully lifted with a fork and the bulbs gently prised apart. The key then is to get the bulbs dry. I do this on staging in a greenhouse leaving them for up to a month. Where covered space is unavailable resting the uprooted bulbs on the soil is an option if there’s no heavy rain. Once completely dry the bulbs can be stored. Larger ones can be strung in plaits in the same way as onions and kept in a cool, dry and airy place. For smaller bulbs where stringing is impractical net bags can be used.

EXPERT

Tony Chalcraft Another option for smaller bulbs, if you’re prepared for much peeling, is pickling. Although it’s best to get shallots in the ground in early March there’s still time up until the beginning of April if sets are available. Several varieties are commonly offered. My recommendation would be the reddish-brown skinned Red Sun. I’ve grown this for several years and find it gives more uniform and better keeping bulbs than some other varieties. It also seems less prone to bolting (sprouting a seed head instead of forming a bulb). Just as importantly it tastes good, having a mild but slightly spicy flavour suitable for salads as well as cooking.

Spring your way into summer

While the change of season might put a spring in some people’s step, for others the milder weather can bring a range of conflicting feelings, especially if you’re facing a summer not at the weight you want to be. The reason that so many ‘ordinary’ diets fail is because they don’t tackle the reasons behind why people overeat in the first place. They suggest the answers are in the food and focus on calories and complex food-plans. LighterLife offers a weight management plan to suit your weight loss needs that doesn’t just include meal replacement products but

access to a unique behaviour change programme. With LighterLife you can lose up to a stone a month. There’s a range of plans depending on how quickly you want to lose weight, all leading to personalised management plans that help you achieve a healthy and balanced way of eating for life with healthy recipes and ongoing group support. For more information, call Simon, your local Lighterlife Xpress Slimming Club Mentor on 07933 111185 or by email: Simon. Errington@lighterlifementor.com.

New chapter for York charity York Against Cancer has got the keys to its brand-new, purpose-built headquarters at the LNER Community Stadium in Huntington. Preparations are well under way to create an exciting new gift and card shop and to fit out a modern workplace for York Against Cancer’s six full and part-time office staff, who are currently based at North Moor Road, Huntington. Julie said York Against Cancer hoped to complete its move within three months, opening a new chapter in the charity’s 30-plus years of providing local cancer care, research and education. “This is huge for us,” said Julie. “It is a massive step forward that will put us in front of a brand-new audience and give us a springboard into the future. “We’ll have great visibility that we hope

Fancy an original hand-drawn portrait of your beloved pet? Badly Drawn Pets York has reassembled to raise funds for Age UK’s Keep Your Pet initiative. The portraits cost just £10, with all the proceeds going towards Keep Your Pet. For an extra £5, you can include a personalised message, too. While there's no promise that the drawing will be lifelike, there’s a very good chance that it will make you smile: “Most of the artists can't really draw, but what they lack in artistic ability, they make up for in enthusiasm.”

will bring us new customers, supporters, fundraisers and volunteers, and we’ll be able to get the word out that we are there as the go-to place for people to turn to when they most need help.” As well as welcoming customers to its new shop once lockdown rules are relaxed, York Against Cancer will continue to operate a shop within York Hospital.

HAVE A HOME? THESE CUTIE PIES NEED ONE.

THOMAS One-year-old Thomas is literally full of the joys of spring! This cheeky chap is bursting with energy and after living his life so far indoors he can’t wait to feel the grass under his paws and the sunshine on his back. Thomas has never had the opportunity to go outside and express his natural cat behaviours so a home with a good-sized garden away from busy roads is a must for this handsome boy. He will also benefit from experienced owners as although he is incredibly loving he can play a little rough sometimes! If you can offer Thomas lots of interaction and regular play sessions, then he may well be just the cat that you have been looking for. TOBY

Julie Russell, General Manager of York Against Cancer, with the keys for the charity’s new headquarters

Keep Your Pet offers short term assistance to domestic pet owners who are older or vulnerable and living in the York and Selby area at times of illhealth and emergencies. For more information, visit www.keepyourpet.co.uk, email keepyourpet@ageukyork.org. uk or call 01904 866070.

We have a treat in store for you this month with the adorable and devastatingly handsome Toby. Poor Toby was handed in for rehoming after his previous owners could no longer afford to keep him. He was pretty shell-shocked when he first arrived but has since settled into cattery life and loves nothing more than a good old head rub from one of his adoring fans (which there are many!) Toby doesn’t ask for much in life, he just wants to feel safe and secure again with a warm bed, regular grub and an endless supply of love and affection. Not too much to ask, is it?

Buy a big bear A unique opportunity to buy a rather large teddy bear in aid of the Animals Asia Foundation from Stonegate Teddy Bears has arisen. The teddy bear in question weighs around nine stone, is six feet tall and, before discontinuation, retailed at £2,999. For £1000 you could be the owner of this gigantic teddy called Big Fella. All of the proceeds from the sale will go to the Animals Asia Foundation that rescues bears from the bear bile trade in Asia and takes them to a sanctuary in Vietnam. If you’re interested in purchasing Big Fella, or would like to know more information, email Stonegate Teddy Bears at: stonegateteddybears@live.co.uk.

EXPERT TIPS FROM IMOGEN FOX AND HER TEAM AT FOXY LOCKS

DO IT SALON STYLE. Use a shampoo and conditioner from the same range and really take your time to massage and lather the products into your scalp when washing. Rinse hair in cool water to seal hair cuticles and give you that glossy shine!

NOURISHED HAIR. Regular hair masks and treatments will help keep your hair silky, shiny and smooth. Our founder, Imogen Fox has created a nourishing Argan Oil deep hydrating hair mask that smells amazing and actually works, it is also vegan and cruelty-free!

IT’S ALL IN THE CUT. Hairstylists and experts the world over agree that with the right cut and regular trims, your hair will always appear on top form. Research online ahead of visiting a new salon.

SILKY DOES IT. Swap normal pillowcases for a silk or satin version. They cause less friction and don’t soak up products that you want to keep on your face and hair.

Foxy Locks have recently launched the gold plated titanium 32mm hair styling tool. The thick wand creates big bouncy waves for effortless glam. Finish off the look with a spritz of sea-salt spray for added texture. And remember to comb out those curls! Visit www.foxylocks.com
