Bit of a weird one, isn’t it folks? Not the usual Christmas and New Year that we’ve come to know and love, but certainly no less important. I’ve welcomed the end of the year with open arms, and I’m ready for what 2021 might bring. There have been good years and bad years, but this one really took the biscuit.

on in the local community, too. York Neighbours are looking to help residents over 65 with any odd jobs they might have, and a local business has created a new game to help us all get fit! Take care, and see you next year! Krystal and the YLL Team.

Nevertheless here at YLL HQ, we’re putting on our positive pants and looking at all of the good things that go on behind the scenes. This issue is a hybrid of the festive period and the New Year. In our festive feature, Little Stars, we’re celebrating the fantastic work that all the staff do on the Special Care Baby Unit and the Children’s Ward over Christmas and exploring ways that we can help. Please turn to page 21 to find out more about it. There’s plenty of good going

HOROSCOPES Capricorn 22nd Dec - 19th Jan

A busy and work orientated January during which you may be pressured to take on extra responsibilities. Even if there isn’t any extra cash on the table, you do need to say yes to

what is being offered because it secures the position of your legs under the table – if you know what I mean! Working relationships with colleagues give you an extra element of

JAN AQUARIUS 20 - 18 FEB

PISCES 19

January looks like being a very positive month in connection with all matters appertaining to jobs, business and careers. Despite Christmas expenses, you’ll be feeling relatively secure financially, which lightens your load and improves your mood. You need to be a bit health conscious, especially in connection with legs and knees, and this is not the best of times to wear pink lycra and start riding a bike.

Like your Aquarian neighbour, January promises to be a reassuring month where money is concerned. There could be extra cash coming your way, especially if you are considering pension or retirement plans. Younger members of the sign will look back over their working history and come to the conclusion that they’ve been wasting their time. Thus they will start looking for something new.

ARIES 21

MAR - 19TH APR

A new year, new hopes and dreams, but sadly the same old restrictions and frustrations. Nevertheless, you’ll be able to remain optimistic more than most people you know, and this is a splendid opportunity for embarking on new projects – some of which might make you some money. In contrast, others just provide some fun and personal satisfaction.

permitting, there should be a lovely reunion before the end of the month, or at the very least, some plans made for such a reunion.

TAURUS 20

APR - 20TH MAY

Quite a busy month as you find some fresh enthusiasm from somewhere and start working (a) on old ideas that need to be brought on-line, and (b) some new projects that fire up your imagination and creativity. Lots of love and support from partners and spouses, and some sexy vibes tingling away for singletons.

MAY - 20TH JUN

A positive opening salvo into the New Year! There should be some good news where health and energy aspects are concerned, and there is a solid mood of pulling together within the framework of families. Possibly not much happening where jobs and careers are concerned, but given your present situation, that is unlikely to cause you too much concern.

CANCER

21ST JUN - 22ND JUL

With the birth of the New Year, there is the birth of a new degree of determination to change things! There is a mood of out with the old to make way for the new, and New Year’s resolutions will be more akin to declarations of intent. Inevitably you’re going to raise a few eyebrows, but you’ll see this as a very positive sign. You’re getting your message across.

LEO 23

JUL - 22ND AUG

For better or worse you will come into 2021 knowing where you are and where you’re going. Quite honestly, this could be good news or bad news, and if it IS bad news, take heart, because you’ll have the leeway to back peddle and change your mind, but only if you really really want to! Emotional relationships are the key ingredient to this dilemma.

VIRGO 23

AUG - 22ND SEPT

It looks like a relatively calm January, but it is also a month wherein you’ll be doing a lot of forward planning where jobs and business aspects

are concerned. You’ll cope manfully (or womanfully) with quite a heavy workload, but you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you’re achieving something worthwhile.

LIBRA 23RD SEPT - 22ND OCT

YORK LIFE

GEMINI 21

An unexpectedly busy month with quite a few pockets of tension as you come under some sustained pressure to finish off a few things you started in 2020 but were not able to complete. In some ways, this is no bad thing because it keeps you on your feet and helps you focus and concentrate on the priorities. The wheat gets harvested while the chaff is cast to the wayside.

SCORPIO 23

OCT - 21ST NOV

I suspect that finances will be your number one priority throughout January, especially if you’ve gone a bit overboard with the plastic in December. One way or another, it could be a bit of a belt-tightening month without much leeway for luxuries. There will be help on hand from a member of the opposite sex who will top up the pot for you.

SAGITTARIUS -2219 DEC JAN ND

January will be a complicated month wherein you’ll be influenced by the plans and comings and goings of other people. If you are asked for your opinion, give it freely, but if not, keep your thoughts (especially if they are in any way critical ) very much to yourself. Children of any age will be much on your mind, but remember that older kids have their own stars to follow.

WANDERER WALKING WITH THE

This walk explores an area of secluded countryside at the foot of the Wolds, much of it part of the Garrowby Estate. Starting from Bugthorpe, the route follows field paths and tracks over undulating terrain to arrive at Kirby Underdale. From here it’s a flatter route back to Bugthorpe, at first on a field path then a country road that carries little traffic. While not incredibly strenuous, this is a slightly more adventurous route than some, much of it on paths that are lightly used. There are several potentially very muddy and wet sections, so appropriate footwear is essential. Although generally well signed, there are a few points where the route isn’t obvious. These are underlined in the Directions.

1 Starting with Bugthorpe church behind you, go left at the end of the churchyard then keep to the green on the right going along its top to arrive at a T junction with a grass triangle. Turn left here down the road. Where this swings left into Low Hall go ahead on a narrow signed path. At a gate go half left across the grass field to another gate and bridge over a stream. Climb the steps and go through the gate to go along the right edge of the field to a wooden gate. Once through continue, keeping near the stream to the right field corner. Go through a new gate and head left uphill as signed with a hedge to the left to reach a grassy track. 2 Turn right on the track but in about 100 metres turn left (yellow arrow) along the edge of a large field with a hedge on the right. Continue following the hedge around several doglegs to the far righthand corner of the field. Here turn right through a hedge gap as signed, now with a hedge to the left. Continue ahead through further fields keeping to their left edge. Where a path comes in from the right (blue arrows), keep ahead but in 50 metres where

the hedge goes left follow it uphill. Through a gate continue into the next big field climbing gradually with the hedge still to the left. At the top of the field go right on the other side of a hedge to a gate. Continue with a house to the right to a driveway. Turn left down this but in about 100 metres, at the end of the wooden fence on the right, find a signed path at a metal gate.

3 Go through the gate and turn half-right downhill, keeping near a wire fence to the right. At the lowest point of the field by a ford go over a plank bridge across the stream. Keep left in the small grassy area to go uphill into a large field with a tall hedge to the right. Where the hedge ends, keep ahead through a gate along the left hedge of the next field. At the copse turn left as signed through a gate, then swing beside the trees keeping them to the right. Continue alongside the trees uphill. Where the trees end keep straight ahead across the grass to an unfenced road. 4 Turn right down the road but in 100 metres turn left on a signed path with a wooden fence to the right. Go through a gate and continue, slightly left,

Getting there

UNDER THE WOLDS: BUGTHORPE AND KIRBY UNDERDALE

Directions

Distance:

The recommended start point is Bugthorpe, where there’s ample roadside parking near the church. It’s also possible to begin the walk in Kirby Underdale. Bugthorpe is 13 miles east of York. Take the A166 from the Grimston Bar interchange turning left three miles east of Stamford Bridge on a country road. No bus routes pass through Bugthorpe.

Refreshments Bugthorpe Post Office offers hot and cold drinks to go.

What to see Bugthorpe and Kirby Underdale are small unspoilt villages away from busy roads. Both have historic churches, with All Saints Kirby Underdale having an especially fine setting on top of a steep rise overlooking the Wolds. At several points on the walk, the route crosses fields with humps and bumps indicating previous cultivation and settlement. Near the start at Bugthorpe are the remnants of moats and at Point 4 in the directions, the route passes the site of Hanging Grimston, a deserted mediaeval village recently excavated as part of a community archaeology project. across a humpy field to another gate (yellow arrow) below the farm on the bank above. Keep ahead across the field guided by a solitary wooden marker post set in the grass. Continue, gradually nearing the hedge on the right to the far right corner of the field. Here go through a gate and head half right downhill through a boggy area. Keep parallel to the hedge on the right to go into the corner of the V-shaped field and a kissing gate. Through the gate cross the small stream (this can be tricky!) and continue in the next field alongside the hedge to the right. At the next gate keep ahead (left of a few trees) on a grassy track across the field. After a further

Keep left here and continue to the edge of Kirby Underdale passing the village hall and car park (alternative starting point). To visit the small village and church go left down the main street passing houses to either side. The church can be accessed via a discreet metal gate on the left. 6 To continue the walk (or on returning from the church) take the signed footpath just before the start of the village leading across a gravelled area to the right of the village hall.

At the end of the second field pass through a kissing gate, then veer right down to the field corner. Turn left here with the hedge/ditch to the right. Continue to another kissing gate in the far right corner of the field. Through the gate proceed in the same direction to arrive at a track leading to a farm on the left.

YORK LIFE Last year I had the great joy of visiting New Zealand. It feels like a trip made in a different world. All those things have been denied us this year. I was speaking at a conference on mission. My wife, Rebecca, came with me and when the work bit of the trip was done, like a couple of gap year students we hired a camper van and went exploring. Because it was winter (our summer) many of the sites we visited were delightfully quiet and peaceful. One of the most unusual places was Wai-OTapu Park. It has all of the ingredients you might expect from a New Zealand beauty spot; unspoilt rocks, ferns, and trees nestled around lakes. But what makes this place remarkable are the weird colours. The glooping escape of geothermal gasses through mud and hissing geysers have upset the colours you would expect to see. Soil is white, rocks are orange, and water is bright green or red. There is something

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

wonderfully unsettling about seeing the familiar in a startlingly different way. The day after the birth of Jesus Christ, the houses of Bethlehem, the harbours of the Mediterranean and trade routes of the Middle East all looked the same. But for Mary and Joseph, the shepherds and Magi everything was startlingly different. God’s familiar creation was now represented in a new and unsettling way. Jesus is a baby just like any other, yet his birth means that God’s life is joined to our life. Our humanity is hallowed. Our belonging to each other revealed. This year our familiar world has also looked different. But not in a good way. We have been isolated from each other, many have died. Thousands more have suffered. The economy is on its knees. The new way of looking at the world that we see in Christ also provides the clue for building a better, more colourful world, when we get beyond Covid. It starts by recognising our

common humanity, our belonging to a global community, our recognition of the values and hopes that unite us. There has been nothing good about Covid19. But some good can come out of it. Can I invite you to Bethlehem this Christmas, so that you can see there what our humanity could be like if

we loved one another and if all were welcomed in? I wish you a peaceful and colourful Christmas.

COLUMNIST

Welcoming 2021 with open arms YCFC First off I would like to take this moment to wish everyone a very happy New Year, and I hope you all have a safe Christmas time with loved ones. As I write this column right now, it's been a stop-start season for York City and a stopstart season for everyone. I think we've all realised just how important sport is to us all as a city this year. It holds power over the emotions of everyone, and for some of us, it's a way of life. When football came to a complete stop, it took away our ability to see friends and our connection with others. It certainly chipped away at the heart and soul of what Bootham Crescent is about - and has been about for 100 years - since the Mistermen began playing there: the common denominator in it all - the fans. As someone who has been lucky enough to still cover games and go to the ground, it's definitely been an eery experience. Now that the fans can

return, with 2,000 spectators being allowed into grounds in some areas of the country, we're finding some kind of normality returning to our lives that gives us hope for the year ahead. Despite social distancing and all the necessary requirements to make the football grounds safe, being able to see the familiar faces that are the very fabric of the City fanbase will be a relief. Kudos goes to the York City volunteers who pulled together to get Bootham Crescent cleaned up in anticipation of welcoming a limited number of fans back to the stadium. At the time of the writing, the club is waiting to hear back from external partners to certify the ground - fingers crossed!

At the time of writing it is another exciting time for York City Knights with the #HeartlandExpansion happening and their bid to be promoted to the Super League. What a bid the Knights have put together. You can’t deny the facilities, the new stadium that we have on the horizon for both of our sporting teams and best of all, the one piece of the puzzle that sells itself - the incredible city that we are all lucky to live in. Whether Super League becomes a reality via the bid or not, it cannot be stressed enough how well chairman John Flatman and Knights coach James Ford have done to build the club and infrastructure to the level they have. I can see us playing in the Super League sooner rather than later. After a time when we thought the city would lose its rugby league team, we’re now talking about playing in the Super League, it’s crazy but a big well done to all at York City Knights for making what seemed like the impossible a reality.

I think as we look into 2021 and say goodbye to 2020, a year we all want to forget, we can start looking forward again, having sport back in our lives, locally and nationally with an exciting sporting calendar for the year ahead. One hopes that both our big sporting teams will again challenge for promotion in their respective leagues and be able to do so with crowds. I think the biggest miracle of 2021 though will be the day when we finally see games played at the new York Community Stadium. It is long overdue and a new era for us as a city to get behind. Here’s hoping!

MOTORING NEWS DRIVING IN THE DARK It's officially winter! And with winter comes dark evenings. A recent study by essilor.co.uk found that over half of UK drivers admit to not being able to see clearly behind the wheel at night. But fear not, they also shared some advice to help drivers stay safe in the dark, and no, it's not eating carrots! Dr. Andy Hepworth from Essilor.co.uk, a leader in optical lens technology, explains the simple measures that can be taken to improve night vision, as well as the extra precautions to take.

ADJUST YOUR EYES BEFORE DRIVING Give yourself a few minutes in the car to allow your eyes to adjust to the lower light level before you start driving. Low light levels cause the pupil of the eye to become larger, and this can accentuate any focusing errors causing blur.

KEEP YOUR DISTANCE It is more difficult to judge distance at night-time so allow extra space between you and the car in front as this gives more time to react to situations ahead of you.

KEEP WINDSCREENS SMEAR-FREE While not only making sure the outside of a front and back windscreen is clean and streak-free, ensuring washer fluid is good quality and always topped up, keep a cloth in the glove box to clear condensation and smears on the inside.

BE VISIBLE Headlights not only help drivers to see better but are an essential safety feature to be seen. Regularly check that all lights are in full working order. It is illegal to drive at night without fully-functioning headlights, and police officers will stop vehicles that don't comply with the guidelines.

DIP DON'T DAZZLE While taking steps to be safe from the dazzle of other driver's headlights, all drivers must be taking the correct steps in their own vehicles. Adjust car headlights if you're carrying varying loads and check that they are correctly aligned. Always dip headlights when facing oncoming traffic.

TAKE THE SCENIC SCOOT!

There’s a new way to get around the streets of York! E-scooters are now available as part of a 12-month rental trial operated by leading SLOW DOWN OR STOP European operator, TIER. Rule 237 of the Highway Code states 50 safe and sustainable e-scooters have been that if you're dazzled by bright sunlight deployed in the city, and that number could 'slow down or if necessary stop'. The increase to 700 if the trial goes well. same applies to being dazzled at night.

Santa called … It looks like you’re on the good list! In need of a last minute check in with Santa before Christmas? He’s on hand to record videos to reassure children on the run up to Christmas that they have, in fact, made it onto The Good List. For £10 per child you can get a video message and an e-certificate that can be printed out at home. All the money raised will go towards the Butterfly Appeal which is raising £250,000 for a new maternity bereavement suite at York Hospital. Every week at York Hospital a baby is born that will not survive. While there is nothing that can take away the pain for these families following a late pregnancy loss, stillbirth or death of their baby soon after birth, a few precious hours or days before they have to say their final goodbyes can

make all the difference. The York Teaching Hospital Charity has launched the Butterfly Appeal to help create a new maternity bereavement suite at York Hospital so that families can make memories to last a lifetime. Freya Oliver, Head of Midwifery, said: “We know from talking to families who have used our existing space how important these facilities are and that having a new maternity bereavement suite will give them the best possible experience at one of the worst times of their lives.” The deadline for a message from Santa is Sunday 20th December. Email santaspeaks2020@outlook.com for further information.

Meet the play team It’s a very different Christmas this year for a lot of people - even more so if you have to spend it in hospital. The children’s ward at York Hospital is going all out to keep up the festive spirit with the help of the play team who help make a child’s stay in hospital fun by providing them with activities, toys and equipment. Part of their role is to prepare children for hospital life and distract them during medical procedures. Lynda Robson, healthcare play specialist and play team leader explained: “Our team is doing their very best to make the ward more exciting for all the children and their families. Christmas on the ward is very different this year, a little like the rest of 2020. We might not have Christmas trees, decorations hanging from the ceiling and sparkling lights everywhere, but our team is on hand to support those children who are increasingly worried about hospital visits with the changes to the environment. “Our role as registered hospital play specialists and qualified nursery nurses is to help provide a child friendly and welcoming environment that helps bridge the gap between

home and hospital. This helps the nursing team and doctors to get on with their jobs. “Christmas on the ward may look very different but we still have our Christmas spirit behind the masks, goggles, gloves, and gowns! We are brightening up the ward with things that can be kept free from infection such as laminated pictures and Christmas displays. Christmas music will be heard throughout the children’s ward, and because of visiting restrictions there will be video calls to loved ones and messages from special visitors who would usually be visiting around Christmas time. Ward Christmas parties are on hold this year but we will be sending little treats and special messages to the children to remind them we are still here and we will celebrate another time when we can. “Fantastic gifts are being donated, with the help of local companies that have been collected at drop off points around York. Presents are then quarantined ready for Christmas for all the children who visit us over the festive period. The play team elves will still be knee deep in presents preparing for a visit from Santa on Christmas Eve! “One thing that has not changed is the dedication

of the play team, the time and effort they put in everyday to provide a positive experience for the children. I am very proud to be part of a fantastic team. “I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the play team at York Hospital.”

“One thing that has not changed is the dedication of the play team, the time and effort they put in everyday to provide a positive experience for the children. I am very proud to be part of a fantastic team.”

It’s the most Wunderplay time of the year! A Christmas stay at hospital is never on any little one’s wishlist, but unfortunately, it’s not always possible for children to be home at Christmas, especially if they’re poorly. Each year we work with a local business to provide a toy donation to keep kids entertained over the festive period. Building blocks, a Horrible Histories puzzle and vintage wind-up bouncing tin tops are just some of the beautiful toys that we’re getting to take to York Hospital this Christmas.

We’d like to say an extra big thank you to Wunderplay, York, who has kindly donated a range of sustainable, eco-friendly toys to the Children’s Ward. Lynda Robson, Play Team Leader at York Hospital, said “We are so grateful to Wunderplay for providing such a fantastic array of gifts for the children this year. With lots of restrictions in place due to the pandemic, Christmas on the Children’s Ward will be different this year, but seeing the faces of the children and their families light up when a gift has been given will help bring some normality during these difficult times.”

About Wunderplay

she suggested that we transform one of the souvenir shops into a Toy Shop for 0-5-year-olds, and, working closely with her brother, David, Wunderplay was born.” “As a family we care deeply for the environment, so it only made sense for us to bring our environmentalism across to Wunderplay. This means that we try our best to source toys by brands that responsibly source earth-friendly materials like wood, natural rubbers and other recycled materials.” “It’s been a year marred by uncertainty for us but thanks to the support of locals we’re extremely positive for the future, and we’re thrilled to see that there is a market for eco-friendly toys in York.” Visit wunderplay.co.uk to order toys online or visit the store at 39 Stonegate, York, YO1 8AW.

Wunderplay opened on Stonegate in July this year, after a family-run business found itself needing to think on its feet. Evelyne Robertson, who runs the business with her family, said: “When tourism in York began to dry up due to the global pandemic, we were in the awkward position of running three souvenir shops in a tourist destination without tourists. So, we decided to bring together the family to share ideas to help us weather the storm. My daughter, Sabrina was pregnant with twins at the time, and

SCBU provide special care for parents in the pandemic

PICTURE: SCBU team highlights technology to connect families with their premature babies.

“We are so lucky to have the York SCBU Support Group which raises funds for the unit. The group funded vCreate some time ago and have now provided extra items that help to capture those precious early days.”

Families needing the help of York Hospital’s special care baby unit have not been forgotten during the Covid-19 pandemic. The special care baby unit (SCBU) is providing a whole range of extra ways that families can maintain the vital bonding that is so important to the early days and weeks of baby’s life. Vikki Smith, Ward Manager on SCBU, said: “We have prepared for the situation where both parents may be unable to visit their baby on the unit for a long period of time because of the Covid-19 situation. It’s an anxious time for any parent to have your baby in the special care baby unit and we wanted to make sure we do everything we can to help them, especially if they are affected by Covid-19. “Technology is playing a useful role helping them stay in touch and some time ago we purchased vCreate, a system which allows us to take both photos and videos of the babies and send them securely to the parents. It’s amazing!” This new technology has played a vital role for one family when mum-to-be, Kristie Atherton went to hospital in November after she noticed reduced movements in her baby. It resulted in an emergency caesarean and her daughter Riley was born at 33 weeks. Not only did Kristie have to cope with the shock of finding herself in that situation, she woke up to find out she had tested positive for Covid-19. This meant she had to isolate for ten days and all the rest of the family had to isolate for

two weeks leaving Riley being cared for in SCBU. Kristie said: “I had such great care from the midwives and doctors on the ward and it was such a relief to know Riley was being looked after so well in SCBU. The vCreate was fantastic for keeping me in touch with Riley’s care by sending pictures and videos via email. I saw her first bottle and had pictures of her in her first outfit dressed by the team on SCBU which I was able to share with the rest of the family. I couldn’t hold her myself for another 10 days so these moments were precious. It really helped with the bonding, especially with her older sister Freya who felt like she already knew her by the time she came home.” Vikki continued: “We are so lucky to have the York SCBU Support Group which raises funds for the unit. The group funded vCreate some time ago and have now provided extra items that help to capture those precious early days.” The unit has also bought two tablets so that they can keep in touch with families by using Skype - as well as cards, books and special boxes designed to help with the bonding process. Judith Hills, nursery nurse and vice-president of the SCBU Support Group, added: “I’d like to thank all our fundraisers for their support. It is making life easier for families at one of the most overwhelming times we’ve ever experienced. To have a baby in special care is a worrying time but not being able to visit is extremely tough and we want to all we can to help.”

I wish you all the very best of Christmas’s and when New Year comes around, let’s all toast 2020 as the year that tested us but did not break us. Cheers!

Tony Chalcraft People have a mixed reaction to kale. There are some, often those who've never eaten it, who think it's barely fit for cows, let alone humans. There are others, especially those who read columns by magazine chefs or watch trendy TV cooks, who regard it as a wonder food.Â I've always grown kale. It's a mainstay of my winter and early spring crops. Generally, though, I'm not a fan of the more 'foodie' kales. Nero di

Toscana (Black Tuscan) is the one that's become very popular in recent years. It's now commonplace on lots of York allotments, but Yorkshire isn't Tuscany and results can be disappointing. When I've grown Black Tuscan, it's cropped well in autumn but then tailed off. By mid-winter, it's usually sad and bedraggled. Unlike other kales, it doesn't withstand Yorkshire weather well or produce a lot of new growth in spring. What's more, its rather crinkled leaves often become infested with whitefly. The experience of washing these out doesn't add to its appeal.Â This year I'm growing three varieties of kale. You won't

be surprised that Black Tuscan isn't one of them. All three can be cropped in autumn, but I mainly grow them for picking in late winter and early spring. This is when the plants put on a spurt of growth, producing new tender leaves and shoots. Harvested young before becoming tough and chewy, these can continue to produce well into April. Two of the varieties I'm growing are old favourites. One that I'm never without is Pentland Brig. This is a robust variety, plants reaching up to a metre in height. The leaves are less curly than some types; hence whitefly isn't so difficult to remove. The flavour is also mild, perhaps more akin to a savoy cabbage than kale. In spring, new shoots develop from the stems. These and the flower shoots thrown up as it starts to run to seed are nearly as good to eat as those of purple sprouting broccoli. Kale number two is an old fashioned variety Cottagers. This has recently been brought back into cultivation because of its

hardiness and attractive purple-green leaves. More compact than Pentland Brig and therefore easier to protect from marauding pigeons, it can be relied on to produce a harvest throughout the winter. Like Pentland Brig, it'll put on tender new growth in spring. Kale number three is Emerald Ice. This is the first year I've grown this variety, so it's too early to give it a full endorsement. However, so far, it seems excellent. The plants have curly dark green leaves with thick white veins that merge into a distinctive white stem at the leaf base, hence the name 'Emerald Ice'. Cooked it's crunchy but not at all tough with good flavour. How it'll fare over the winter and into spring remains to be seen but, if unaffected by harsh weather, it looks likely to become a regular on the plot. While talking about kale, I should also mention that grown as baby plants, ideally under cover and harvested small, it's also suitable for adding to mixed leaf salads. There's more to kale than often appreciated. Even if some of the more trendy types are over-hyped, it's definitely more than cattle fodder.

Stay green,stay warm Green and Reliable Heating Winter is the harshest time on your home's heating system, and during these testing times, which have seen us spending even more time at home than usual, it will be under extra pressure. Green and Reliable Heating are oil heating

and combustion engineers. We fine-tune your heating system to the maximum efficiency it can be, saving you valuable oil, energy and money. How we can help people? Simple checks on your system will eradicate future problems and keeping on top of things during the cold spell will save a potential call-out or most importantly save you and your home from the cold. We are big believers in keeping things green and keeping them reliable. This means keep it simple and straight forward. Most oil boilers never get set up correctly, and many

homeowners don't benefit from the savings through fuel and carbon reduction. We're offering a new boiler cover plan to protect against those unforeseen repair bills. This will protect homeowners on the plan by an annual service, and regular follow-ups as well as a callout service, so you never have to worry about being without. We offer a three-tier plan plus a bespoke one for pubs, hotels and large houses with multiple boilers larger than the usual place. Starting from £3.55 a week. We will service and carry out a full inspection and deep clean, so you benefit from cheaper oil bills. From then, you will have a dedicated engineer to protect everything you wish to cover. We hope that everyone has peace of mind over the years ahead with no worries of an unexpected bill on a breakdown. We hope you stay green and reliable throughout, but we're only a call away if you need assistance. We cover all domestic houses on oil,

including large houses, hotels, network rail buildings and industrial applications. To enquire about getting your home covered today, call 01904 295365, 07717 574470 or visit www.greenandreliable.co.uk for more information.

PUTTING THE FUN BACK INTO GETTING FIT! Want to support local business and get fit in the new year? Local duo Sharon and Steve Phillips, who live in Scarborough, have created an engaging and informative card game designed to help you get fit and have fun at the same time. The 54 card game is jam-packed full of questions and answers about healthy eating and exercise to educate and inspire you to make healthier choices. Sharon Phillips said: “We created the game whilst being stuck at home during lockdown. As time went by, it occurred to us both that many people would be unable to get out and about as usual. For instance, those people who typically attend fitness classes or slimming clubs would now be unable to do so, this gave us the original idea, and then we worked together to create a format for the game. Combining exercise, healthy eating and

nutritional information in a fun, educational and simple format to help people get fit from the comfort of their own home. Steve is the creative one, and he devised the exercise routines. He was in the Navy many years ago where he underwent The Field Gun training and was also a keen footballer, boxer and rugby player. We are hoping that the end result will be that people find the game not only fun and informative but also a flexible and straightforward approach to keeping fit and healthy. A unique and fun way to a healthier body and mind. There’s NOTHING quite like it!” No.1 Body Fit is £14.99 from www.waterstones.com.

HAVE A HOME? THESE CUTIE PIES NEED ONE. ESME Full of beans and desperate to get out of the Adoption Centre and into a proper home, this one-year-old is a very lively cat and is looking for plenty of space to charge around and a big garden to explore. Sometimes Esme can be a little bit naughty and will give you a bit of a bash to let you know who’s the boss, she’s not being nasty, she’s just sometimes a little uncertain about your intentions. Therefore Esme will need experienced cat owners that like their cats to be a little spicy! Luckily once you gain her trust, Esme is a delight. She loves nothing more than sitting on your lap to enjoy a well-earned fuss.

THE GROBE The Grobe arrived at the adoption centre looking pretty skinny and bedraggled. Since then she’s put on some weight and tidied herself up nicely, so she’s looking more presentable for potential new owners. She spends most of her day on her heated bed, snuggled up in her little igloo but she’s always the first one out when she sees breakfast coming out! The Grobe likes a gentle fuss from the staff on her head and under her chin. Mostly, she just enjoys the company of having someone around who cares about her. After the hard life she has had, it would be the perfect start to 2021 to see The Grobe tucked up in a loving new home.

Visit www.york.cats.org.uk GINGER Ginger is a 3-year-old sweet-natured, smart boy who has recently retired from a racing career. He’s great around other dogs but does need a patient owner, who has plenty of time to help ease him into this new stage of his life. He’s made amazing progress already and with a little time and encouragement, he will really blossom. Ginger will need company while he gets used to life with his paws up. Like all ex-racers he won’t suit living with a cat or small pets due to his high prey drive, but wouldn’t mind the company of children over the age of 16. His ideal home will have a secure garden to help with house-training and give him somewhere to roam.

Looking to add a jewel to your crown in 2021? You could learn silversmithing or jewellery making from industry professionals, right here in York. York School of Jewellery has been handcrafted by Nik Stanbury and partner Julie Moss, who have decades of experience in the trade. Throughout his career, Nik has trained conservationists from the British Museum and Oxbridge students, he also has a doctorate in the trade. Before opening their own studio, Nik and Julie both taught at York College. Over the years, they’ve learnt what really works, and what doesn’t. Nik said: “Over years of training, we’ve identified the problems there are in mainstream education. We work in much smaller groups, and all the benches are fully equipped, so you’re not waiting on tools. This also makes it a lot easier for us to be Covid-secure - people don’t share tools, and we have time to clean everything down between classes.” As well as being highly kitted out, the classes are both affordable and flexible. Students enrol on a four week rolling basis - for a reasonable £90 a month. And when you know you’ve got a busy

HEALTH & BEAUTY FOR YOU

How physiotherapy can help maximise your potential following injury or surgery EXPERT

Yorkshire Sport Medicine’s resident Senior Therapist, Jude McDowell BSc (Hons) MCSP PG Dip, talks about getting you back to your full potential after an injury or surgery. Recovering from an injury or surgery, especially during a pandemic, can be a lengthy or difficult process. Trying to get back to regular activity, whether it is just walking around the supermarket, or, returning to sport, brings its challenges both physically and mentally. You may have tried to self-manage your condition or had some guidance on exercise. You may have even been discharged following surgery. You might be as motivated as you can be, but you just can’t quite get back to your normal level of activity. So, what should you consider when optimising your return to full fitness?

Finding the right physiotherapist Physiotherapists have the skills, knowledge and expertise to help you maximise your potential. All the physiotherapists have many years of private, sport and NHS experience. We do this through functional rehabilitation, which, by definition, is a restoration program. Don’t panic, not everyone needs to do squats,

lift weights and run marathons! We work with you, as an individual, and prescribe exercise and activity specifically targeted at your needs. We give guidance on how much you should be doing to avoid aggravation and advise on graded return to your activity.

Specificity

Jude McDowell BSc (Hons) MCSP PG Dip

York’s Independ

However, if you are returning to sport, I would encourage a specialised approach. Recent research advocates completing high-level functional rehabilitation and validated outcomes (recognised tests) before returning to sport. Recovery following surgery, for example, Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction, can be tedious and, traditionally, will have time limitations on recovery. If you fall into this category, a sports-specific program should be designed to meet your individual needs. Physiotherapists can work with you and get you on the road to recovery. Our programs will usually involve both strength and conditioning exercises and field/court specific drills.

Loc GP Consultations Consultation fee include open and COVID secure. So don’t delay. Whatever you are trying to get back to, we will tailor a programme to suit you and guide you each step of your journey to recovery.

You may not even need to go to the gym to do this! Expert guidance and testing at regular intervals should enable a stronger and more confident return to play. So, if you are in need of help and advice on injury or need some rehabilitation, our physiotherapists at YSM are here to help. The clinic is
