I’m declaring January the month of doing absolutely nothing. If I never do anything again, I’ll be happy. Let’s cancel plans, walk into the weekend with empty diaries and stick religiously to routines. December is always carnage, and the slow, quiet grey that stretches over January has always been a welcome reprieve for me. And once we’re well-rested and done with doing absolutely nothing, I’m sure we’ll catch the bug again and start making grand and extravagant plans once more. Whether that looks like a bumper week of events, doing up the house or simply life admin, there is sure to be a local business on these fabulous pages waiting to help you achieve your wildest ambitions for 2022.
The end of January also brings York Resident’s Festival, so if you’ve got a York card and you live in York, you can get into loads of ace places free of charge (or very cheaply). I’m thinking that’s when I’ll resurface into society. But in the meantime, I’ll see you on the sofa. Take care, Krystal & The YLL Team

Happy New Year! 2021 has been another difficult year but local people have continued to come together to support independent, cancer charity York Against Cancer. It’s because of the kindness and generosity of local people that we’re able to continue to provide practical help and support for patients and their families living with cancer in York, North and East Yorkshire. It’s your help that makes it possible to give people and families affected by cancer a free respite break at our seaside holiday home in Filey and transport from York to Leeds for radiotherapy treatment. It’s also made it possible for York Against Cancer to fund internationally acclaimed cancer research at the Jack Birch Unit at the University of York. We’d like to offer you our heartfelt thanks and wish you a happy and healthy New Year. Please connect with us on social media at @YorkAgainstCancer to hear about our exciting plans for 2022.

A hopeful overture to the New Year, and although there may be obstacles ahead of you, you will see them as challenges and will rise to the occasion. Work-wise, January may be a bit on the quiet side, but this is no bad thing in light of what
you’ve had behind you and what might yet lay ahead. There’s a fresh aura of focus and determination with you. You know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it! In most situations, both personal and professional, other people will be
depending on you for your support and will be expecting you to take the initiative of leadership: this does not fall naturally upon your shoulders, but you can do some very good work here and your efforts will be noticed and not be

JAN - 18TH FEB
January brings some hard realisation that certain aspects of your life have got to change, one way or the other. You will understand that careers and salaries are not as important as emotional issues, including everything appertaining to health, both physical and mental. Some important conversations throughout the month with partners, both personal and professional, with some satisfying outcomes and results.
TH
FEB - 20TH MAR
January brings a fresh mood of optimism when you look to the year ahead. It should be a good year for building on past successes, both professional and personal, and overall an even better year where finances and investments are concerned. A noticeable improvement in all aspects of your social life, with special events hanging on to all the nines – the 9th, 19th and the 29th. Please enjoy and have a drink for me.

MAR - 19TH APR
ST
A new year with new resolutions and the formation of one or two new ambitions! As far as January is concerned, it’s a relatively uneventful month, perhaps with some health concerns for someone close to you. Emotional relationships suffer a frisson of tension (15th – 22nd) when priorities with a partner diverge slightly, but compromises are easily found. Money is earmarked for DIY schemes and luxury purchases.
APR - 20TH MAY
2022 brings a whole load of new challenges, and as such, you will discover a strength that you never knew you had. It’s a good month for cracking on with a specific work project which brings high rewards later in the year. Emotional relationships are very solid, and if you were looking for evidence to indicate just how much you are loved, it should be there for you in abundance.

MAY - 20TH JUN
A quiet month for most of you, which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending upon your moods. A family member will irritate you when they ask for favours you do not wish to bestow, and if you want 2022 to be better than 2021 maybe it’s time to put your foot down and say no! Energy's low for sloppy romances, but established emotional relationships flourish.
CANCER
21ST JUN - 22ND JUL
A frisson of anger and frustration simmers beneath the Cancerian psyche and learning from the lessons in 2021, you’re in no mood to take prisoners in 2022. Lots of focus on new targets and ambitions, especially where businesses and careers are concerned. The 16th to the 21st is a period in which parents may need to take a firm stance in dealings with their children.
LEO 23
RD
JUL - 22ND AUG
A nice outlook for younger members of the sign who are about the business of building new relationships. Not a lot of enthusiasm for work projects, which is okay because if you need to, you can coast for a while – but only a while! Finances need some scrutiny, especially if you’ve bent the plastic over the festive season. No major problems here, but not a good time to splash the cash.

confrontation. One close emotional relationship quietly goes from strength to strength, and perhaps January would be a good month to concentrate on affairs of the heart rather than anything else.

SEPT - 22ND OCT
YORK LIFE
GEMINI 21
January is one of those months when you’ll be well aware of the fact that actions will speak louder than words. You will judge yourself by this mantra, and probably a few other people around you as well. Anyone telling you to relax and take it easy will get a very short shift because you’ve got targets, and you’re in no mood to be patient. Finances okay, relationships just a little bit egg-shelly.
SCORPIO 23
RD
OCT - 21ST NOV
January looks like being an exciting and quite intense month in all emotional relationships. Your biggest problem may come in the form of self-doubt in connection with one romantic situation, wherein someone is looking for more commitment from you. It’s up to you, but if I was in your shoes I would not hold back. If there are any divided loyalties this is not a bad thing if it helps you define your priorities.
SAGITTARIUS 22
NOV-21STDEC
ND
Your New Year starts in quite a thoughtful mode, and although you cannot see the next twelve months with clarity, you can see enough to know that certain aspects of your life have to change. There are (or should be!) a few health concerns, not so much for yourself but for third parties close to you. Across the board, this is a year of stepping up and taking a firm grip on the reins of leadership.

Distance:
6
Miles
Getting there Starting by the Nidd, this easy walk follows the river upstream for a short distance before taking tracks and field paths to reach the hamlet of Knox on the edge of Harrogate. It then follows the Harrogate Ringway footpath to reach the recently opened Nidderdale Greenway cycle route for a flat and straightforward return to the start. Very suitable for winter conditions, most of the route is on good surfaces with only a few sections likely to be muddy.
Directions
1 Go ahead over the old bridge across the Nidd. About 20 metres beyond, turn right down a signed footpath and go under the new road bridge over the river. Stay alongside Nidd for about 500 metres until field corner, then head left uphill away from the river with the hedge to right. At the top join the tarmac lane and turn right. 2 Walk along the lane passing Crag Hill Farm and continue through the gate. Beyond this, the track curves left and becomes stony. Keep with the track through a further gate to the house on the right. 3 Here turn left over a stile into the grass field. Walk halfway up the field with a hedge left to a stile by the gate. Cross and continue in the same direction in the next field with hedge right. The route now continues with the hedge right through several more fields each accessed by stiles next to gates. Approaching Killinghall’s houses watch out for a further stile next to a gate on the right. Cross and veer half right over grass field to stone step stile leading to lane with houses opposite. Turn right on the lane following it round the bend to a larger road by the school.
4 Cross the road and turn right. After about 300 metres go left into Grainbeck Lane. Continue on this lane (there’s no pavement but it carries little traffic) as it leaves the houses and heads downhill to reach the main (A61) road. Cross with care and turn right downhill on the pavement for 100 metres to Knox Mill Lane on the left. 5 The route now follows the mainly signed Harrogate Ringway footpath. Walk down Knox Mill Lane passing houses until it ends at a grassy area and old stone bridge crossing the beck. Over the bridge, take a tarmac path that soon widens to a road (Knox Lane). 6 Entering the houses take the first turn left (Old Trough Way) following it through the right bend to turn left at a T junction (Old Barber). At the end of this road follow Ringway right on a stoned path over grass with the houses right. Pass a play area, then follow a path on an enclosed stretch between fences with allotments right. On reaching surfaced track cross straight over and continue through small grassy area passing map board left. Shortly after, at path crossroads, turn left through a wooden barrier and swing right upslope.
MEMORIALS
Time:
23/4 Hours
The recommended starting point is the old bridge over the Nidd north of Killinghall off the A61 where roadside parking is available. This is 23 miles from York travelling through Knaresborough via the A59 and B6165. Where the latter road meets the A61 turn left at the roundabout to find the parking area on the left (signed Killinghall Business Park) after a few hundred metres. The best public transport option is by train to Harrogate then the frequent no.36 bus from the adjacent bus station. Start the walk from Direction Point 5 alighting on the A61 just south of Knox Mill Lane.
Refreshments There are no refreshment facilities directly on the route. The nearest options are in Ripley village north of the starting point, The Knox pub accessed by continuing along Knox Lane (Direction Point 6), or the Gardener’s Arms pub at Bilton 15 minutes from the Nidderdale Greenway at Direction Point 7 (turn right on Greenway then left onto Bilton Lane).
What to see The River Nidd provides the backdrop to the start and end of the walk. Wildlife seen included several herons and a dipper. The track after Crag Hill Farm affords good views up Nidderdale. Knox Mill Lane is lined by a number of old cottages. The narrow packhorse bridge (Spruisty Bridge) at the end of the lane dates from the 16th century. The Harrogate Ringway joined for part of the walk, provides a 21-mile route around the town. The Nidd viaduct, giving spectacular views of the river’s wooded gorge more than 30 metres below, was built in 1848 and remained in use by trains until 1967.

7 Turn left and cross the viaduct. Continue on Greenway ignoring all ways off. After about one kilometre the tarmacked way swings left. In about a further kilometre it dips and turns left, again following the river for a short stretch, before leading back up a slope to the parking area by the old bridge.
In a short distance, at another path crossroads, go right (yellow sign on footpath post) under the line of pylons. Reaching a large open grassy area, take the left of three paths keeping the open area to right. Keep going on the sometimes indistinct path to reach the tarmacked Nidderdale Greenway cycleway just before the Nidd viaduct.

That evening, Father Terence rose to the pulpit. He commended to the congregation the usual notices in the order of service sheets. An anguished wail erupted from the middle of a crowded pew. Phyllis Lancefield bolted for the door. Her husband followed. Gasps, whispers and tuts echoed round. People left. Father Terence read the sheet. ‘God is truth, integrity, honesty.

A BROLLY GOOD IDEA
York Minster’s beautiful brollies are now back in stock. They were designed by 83-year-old photography enthusiast, Barney Sharratt. Barney would usually be out and about taking photographs, but due the pandemic and needing to shield, he had to get creative with existing photos that he had already taken during lockdown. Whilst reflecting an image he’d already taken of York Minster’s Rose Window onto a soap bubble, it reminded Barney of
an umbrella and the idea started to form. Wondering if his idea could become more than a daydream, Barney organised a sample of the image on an umbrella. Barney was so chuffed with how the umbrella came out, that he put the idea to Neil Sanderson of The York Minster Fund to sell the umbrellas. Barney said: “ Neil took up the idea with enthusiasm and the Rose Window Umbrellas are now selling well both online and
at the Minster Shop. The Minster folk have kindly taken over the project completely and personally I have no financial involvement whatsoever. Which means that every penny of profit goes to the York Minster Fund.” Barney reckons the umbrellas make a great gift for people who might usually be hard to buy for. The umbrellas are priced at £14.99 and are on sale at shop.yorkminster.org.
g Group Yorkie Talkies Walkin Christmas Party It was a Christmas party to remember for the Yorkies Talkies Walking Group at Hazlewood Castle in early December. They swapped walking boots for sparkles and suit jackets but stayed close to their outdoor-loving roots. The stunning event in a beautifully decorated tipi in the woods had mountain themed party favours by FifteenTenShop, and a huge raffle that raised an amazing £1185 for Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue. Join the team on one of their walks next year to be part of the fun… Visit www.yorkietalkies.co.uk/ yorkietalkiescharityball

ownership at the club. Since the move to the new stadium, the clear issues and rift with the fans and the club hierarchy leaves something to be desired and quite frankly, until changes in some capacity are made, it doesn’t feel like a lot will change there as we head into 2022. I have said it many times already, and I will say it again, anyone who is currently happy with the club's position and is happy with the club in general at the moment is part of the problem. This club should not be struggling in National League North, the decision making and quality of the teams we have had over the last few years are part of the big problem and we should be competing much higher than this. It wasn’t all that long ago Jason McGill felt we would be challenging further up the leagues during the Nigel Worthington era. What has happened since is baffling beyond belief and right now the club needs galvanising somehow? I just hope that in 2022 we can start to see something change, results begin to pick up, and John Askey can make the fans proud of the club once more. As
2022 be the year they reach that goal of getting into the Super League? As always, it will not be straightforward with how strong the competition will be, but they are proving that they are not far off. What a year it could be for rugby in York, especially with the rescheduling of the Rugby World Cup the city could see some much-anticipated action later in 2022 with the quality of sporting action matching the quality the Community Stadium was built for.
Hello and a Happy New Year to you all. I’m sure if you were like me, you will have been eating and drinking until your heart's content as well as keeping tabs on the jam-packed sporting calendar we have at this time of year. 2021 seems to have been a bit of a blur really in terms of York City. What was meant to be a year full of optimism and hope with moving into the new stadium seems to have revealed more issues than not, and so far, the season couldn’t have gone any more wrong. Another year in National League North is looking a current possibility. The man we thought would take us up, Steve Watson, has been sacked and replaced with John Askey, who has said that the squad simply isn’t good enough. Whether he can turn it around or not is the biggest question most fans are asking at the moment, or will it be a case that this season is just a write-off. It all feels a long way off yet as to how the season will conclude but right now I will not be holding my breath. There is still a big cloud over the club that has yet again risen its ugly head between the fans and the current
we have learned, football is a big part of our lives, and we missed it last season. It's great that we can be amongst our mates again, but to see us doing well again would make it a year to remember. Over at York City Knights, they have become a steady side in the Championship in the last year, and it feels that the season ahead could be the best yet. Making some cracking signings and really putting fans at the heart of what they are doing. Could
Multi-million pound development at Emergency Department, York Hospital The multi-million pound development to improve the Emergency Department at York Hospital is well underway and is set to provide much needed extra space and facilities. The two-storey extension, expected to take around 60 weeks to complete, includes a vital new eight bedded resuscitation area, along with improvements to both the waiting room and the consultation and treatment areas to increase capacity and provide better care for patients. The current entrance is now closed and a new temporary A&E entrance has been created at the south of the building. Anyone coming to A&E should continue to use Entrance 1, the main entrance to York Hospital signposted from Wigginton Road, and park in the multi-storey car park.

COLUMNIST
Is 2022 looking like a hopeful year for York teams? Resident sports writer and York City F. C. fan, Simon Pattinson, gives us his take.
A new pedestrian exit has been created at the end of the car park (furthest from the barriers) and people are signposted via the green line on the floor around the hospital to the temporary emergency department entrance. Dr Mike Harkness, Care Group Director for the Emergency Department said: “These exciting changes to our emergency department will mean improvements for initial assessment and faster decision making for patients, as well as creating a much better working environment for staff. “It includes twelve new assessment and treatment cubicles, where patients will be seen and assessed by a senior member of the team. The children’s waiting and treatment area will be separate from the adult area.
“While this work is underway, understandably there will be some disruption. On behalf of all the team we would like to thank you for your patience, kindness and understanding during this time. “Please be assured that our emergency department remains available for patients in a genuine emergency, and patient safety and care remains our priority. However, the department is exceptionally busy at the moment and we ask the public to support us by only coming to A&E when it is absolutely necessary. If you need urgent medical help you can call NHS 111 or visit online 111. nhs.uk.” All the latest updates and changes to the Emergency Department project will be posted on York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s website and social media feed, along with signage around the hospital throughout the coming weeks.

JANUARY ROADWORKS Three key streets in York are due a makeover over the next two months. City of York Council is completely repaving and resurfacing the footpaths on the full length of Stonegate and stretches of Colliergate and Church Street. Stonegate starts on 3 January for up to nine weeks, Colliergate on 3 January for up to seven weeks and Church Street from 21 February for up to nine weeks. Over the years, the council has replaced damaged footway or worn paving stones as required, but as part of its annual footways renewals programme, is investing around £350,000 to fully renew the entire length of Stonegate as well as sections of Colliergate and Church Street. For the first time in a generation, the council repaved the entire stretch of Stonegate’s carriageway in 2020. Feedback was also taken on board from retailers

and businesses, and works will stop before the Easter holidays start, and, if needs be, the council will come back to fully complete the schemes after Easter. Cllr Andy D’Agorne, Executive Member for Transport, said: “Stonegate, Colliergate and Church Street are steeped in history. Stonegate was one of the first paved roads in York, which was a direct route to transport the Minster stone whilst it was being built. “These are some of the most loved streets in our city centre so this investment will ensure these routes keep their special character whilst being more resilient to heavy use.”

Care Professionals are some of the hardest working, passionate and loyal people I have come across and all too often, they are undervalued and underappreciated.

If you could have a New Year’s wish, what would it be? Eat less chocolate? Go to the Julie Wilson, gym more? Stop drinking? Or how about straight-talking Yorkshire financial planner setting your financial plan in place? Setting your financial goals in place, whether that’s short-term or long-term, is a crucial step to becoming financially secure. But this isn’t a New Year’s resolution you can handle on your own. Handling each aspect of financial planning by yourself is just far too complex, and more often than not, you could end up making things worse. If you were to ask anyone what financial advice was, they’d say investments and pensions, etc. But if you were to ask us what financial advice was, we’d look deeper. Rather than measuring return on investment, we measure return on life. Yet, there’s something more important than that. What we think should be prioritised, is whatever you say… So the key thing is you. What you really want. What really matters to you. How do you envisage your perfect lifestyle? You’ve got to think about your future, because no one else can do it for you. Although we help people get there, we need to know where ‘there’ is! And that my friends, is what we like to call ‘Lifestyle Planning’. Yeah, obviously a load of money is great, and it can help you achieve practically anything you want. So… do you even need a lifestyle planner? Most people will just sit there, waiting until a problem arises. Or alternatively, some sit there worried… but don’t do anything about it. We’ve heard it all - from “I hate my job, but I can’t afford to leave” to “I just don’t have enough money to do what I truly want.” You could spend too long worrying about your finances and lifestyle choices rather than enjoying them. At that point – you’ve fallen into the loop. You’re missing the most valuable thing - the moment. Then, if you miss enough moments – it could lead to a lifetime. And before you know it, you’ve wasted the opportunity. Lifestyle planning links your lifestyle goals alongside your financial ones. It’s about painting the lifestyle of your choice. Here at PenLife, we put in some elbow grease to learn what’s really important to you. Then, we use our expert knowledge to bring that chosen lifestyle to reality. Could lifestyle planning be for you? If you believe you could be getting more from life, why settle for anything less? To learn how your money can facilitate your goals and dreams, request your FREE ‘Lifestyle Planning’ guide through the cut-out, an email to office@pen-life.co.uk, or alternatively, call us on 01904 661140.

Craig, Mark, Ian and Nick will still be working for Classic Carpets of York so you will continue to receive the excellent service we provide! Please ring the same number we have had for the last 35 years for any questions or queries you may have: 01904 693331.

GOING FOR GREEN 22 Last year saw the plight of our planet brought into sharp focus as the world’s leaders debated what could be done to slow down the rate of climate change and try and undo some of the damage already caused in the hope that future generations can continue to enjoy everything we have long taken for granted. It sounds like a monumental challenge but reminds me of the old quandary: ‘how do you eat an elephant?’ The answer: one bite at a time. Like any big job, it needs breaking down into small achievable chunks. I’m sure you’ve heard before ‘we can all do our bit’ but it’s worth noting that by doing our bit we might all not only create a better future for our grandkids but we might also save ourselves a few pounds in the process. For example, did you know that by swapping old inefficient light bulbs for the new LED (light-emitting diode) versions you will be using only a tenth (or 10%) of the
LOCAL EXPERT MATT TODD
energy you were before? With electricity bills already high and set to rise, making the change to LED should not only suit Greta Thunberg but also your bank balance. It’s the same story with kitchen appliances and televisions: virtually anything that uses electricity will now be much more energyefficient than the old product it replaces. Next time you need to replace a broken product it’s worth making a comparison of the annual running costs, it might be worth spending a little more on an efficient brand knowing that it will pay for itself in two years or less. Whatever happens this year, we hope things continue to return to normal and we wish all our customers good health and happiness for 2022 J Herbert Todd & Son Monks Cross Drive, Monks Cross, York, YO32 9QZ 01904 628676 www.htodd.co.uk
York thriftiest place in the UK According to a 2021 Home Energy Savings Report done by Radiance Fireplace’s, York has got the thriftiest residents in the UK. We can’t pretend that we aren’t proud. The four-part report compared search data from Google to see where people were searching for ways to reduce heating costs. This included queries such as insulated curtains, heating timers, lost insulation and smart thermostats. York was closely followed by Northampton, Bristol, Peterborough and Swansea.
A spokesperson from Radiance Fireplace’s commented: “With energy costs soaring around the UK, more and more households are searching for ways to reduce costs. We analysed searches for everything from draft excluders and thermal blinds to hot water bottles and heating timers to get our results. We wanted to know not only where the most moneyconscious people were, but where energy was a particular financial concern for families”. Well done, York!

Big Garden Birdwatch 2022 If you go out into your garden this month you might see a goldfinch, a flock of feisty sparrows or even a robin, and the RSPB want to hear about it. The charity is inviting everyone to be wowed by local wildlife and count the birds in their gardens or local parks for one hour between 28-30 January 2022. Last year was the biggest Birdwatch ever, with more than 17 million birds being counted and over a million people taking part. Speaking about this year’s event, the RSPB said: “In 2022 we hope to make Big Garden Birdwatch Live even bigger and better, and we’ll be broadcasting from Friday 28
to Sunday 30 January on YouTube and Facebook. This is your chance to see what birds are being spotted across the UK and an opportunity to ask our experts your questions.” The top ten birds from last year, in order, were: the House Sparrow, Blue Tit, Starling Blackbird, Wood Pigeon, Robin, Great Tit, Goldfinch, Magpie and Long-Tailed Tit. For more information and to get involved, visit rspb.org.uk.
Recycle that Christmas tree
You can either chop up your Christmas tree and put it in the green bin or take your trees to Hazel Court or Towthorpe/Strensall for composting. If you compost yourself, you can strip the branches off the tree and break it all into small pieces. Be sure to make sure they’re small pieces, as trees can take up to a year to break down.
Feed the birds
As winter really sets in and supplies run low, it’s a great time to feed the birds in your garden and provide them with some water that’s not frozen. You don’t have to feed them birdseed either. According to the RSPB, fruits like apples and pears that are past their best can be snapped up by blackbirds and thrushes, while grated mild cheese can be a fantastic source of energy and protein for a range of birds.
Prune certain trees
For some trees, winter pruning can be far less stressful that summer trims. Trees that can be pruned in winter include apple trees, pear trees and Japanese Maples. Be sure to check out the Royal Horticultural Society online for advice on how to trim each tree without doing too much damage. Visit rhs.org.uk.

EXPERT
Tony Chalcraft It’s often assumed chilly weather is bad for plants. That’s especially the case with most fruit, whether it grows on trees like apples, on canes and bushes like raspberries and blackcurrants or on leafy plants like strawberries. There’s no doubt that freezing weather at the wrong time of year can be devastating. A cold spring snap bringing sharp night frosts will damage or destroy blossom and deform or abort fruitlets. And it’s not just a cold spring that can cause problems. A cool spell in summer can delay ripening and, if prolonged, affect fruit flavour. Generally, the warmer the summer, the tastier the fruit, especially tree fruit like apples, pears and plums. However, it’s often not realised that most fruits grown in British gardens benefit from a spell of colder winter weather. Indeed, without winter cold, most fruit grown here, what is termed ‘temperate’ fruit, would not produce much, if any, crop. Temperate fruit must have a period of cool in winter to stimulate spring growth and, most importantly, the flush of blossom needed for good pollination and fruit set. Technically this is known as
the ‘chilling requirement’. Between zero and seven degrees Celsius is usually considered the optimum temperature range. Some limited chilling may occur above seven degrees, but periods below zero Celsius do not generally have a beneficial effect. It’s not so much the intensity of the chill but the length of time over which it occurs that matters. This duration of chill is normally measured as ‘chilling hours’, that is the number of hours over winter that the temperature is within the chilling requirement range. To complicate matters, the number of chilling hours required varies by type and variety of fruit. For example, blackcurrants, one of the fruits wanting the longest period of chilling, must have at least 1,500 hours but some varieties need more than 2,000. Raspberries are another fruit that requires a lot of chilling. Indeed, this is one of the reasons both blackcurrants and raspberries are grown commercially in Scotland, where longer periods of cold are more likely. On the whole, tree fruit needs less chilling than berries. Most apple and
pear varieties, for example, will crop satisfactorily with about 1,500 hours of chilling, while apricots and peaches need only between 500 and 1,200 hours depending on the variety. By now, you may be thinking this is mildly interesting stuff, but how does it affect the fruit I grow? Well for a start, if you grow fruit in pots, don’t assume it’ll benefit from placing in a warm spot in winter. Also, if some fruits, especially berries, crop poorly one summer, could insufficient winter chill be to blame? Looking ahead, there’s the trend of milder winters to consider. Growers producing blackcurrants for Ribena are already switching to varieties that need lower chilling hours. Gardeners may need to do the same. In the next few years, I’ll be replacing my increasingly disappointing Ben Lomond blackcurrants that need over 2,000 chilling hours with Ben Hope, a variety said
to cope with less than 1,500. It’s also worth considering fruit needing less winter chill. Blueberries, for example, will generally crop well with around 1,000 chilling hours, as will many varieties of strawberry. Then there’s apricot and peaches, but this may be going too far: lack of winter chill doesn’t guarantee balmy springs and summers!

YORK'S NEW COMMUNITY WOODLAND HAS HAD ITS FIRST TRESS PLANTED. City of York Council and Forestry England were joined by seven local school children from Poppleton Ousebank Primary School for the planting. York Community Woodland will cover 194 acres near Knapton. Over 100,000 trees and shrubs in the woodland will be planted over the next few years. The woodland will benefit York’s natural ecosystem by promoting biodiversity and supporting carbon absorption from the atmosphere. This will help the city reach its Carbon Net-Zero goal by 2030. Future plans for the area include: • multi-user trails • wooded areas

Never stop learning Fancy something new? York Learning has released its courses and classes for 2022. The brochure, which has been delivered with this month’s mag, has all of the information you’ll need to start a course, whether that’s to up-skill, open new doors, or just for fun. If you missed out on the grade you wanted in English and Maths GCSEs, anyone who has attained under a grade 4/c can access free classes and retake their exams. For parents, carers and grandparents, there are workshops on homework, building confidence and even internet safety to keep kids safe. If you’re looking for a fun activity, there are fitness classes, arts, crafts, day courses in creative writing, dressmaking and plenty more. There’s also a new focus on sustainability. Look for the courses on how to make beeswax wraps, recycle mosaic tiles or build insect hotels. Online learning was also such a success that it’s been kept on to suit learners’ lifestyles and learning needs. Angie Padfield, Head of Service and York Learning, said: “We have a fantastic offer for you next year, and we continue to ensure that you, as 19+ Adults, have access to FREE Digital, English, maths, ESOL and Family Learning, if you have not managed to gain these skills already we are here for you.” Visit www.yorklearning.org.uk or check out the brochure delivered with this month’s magazine.
THE PAWFECT SOLUTION If you’re thinking about doing Veganuary this year, did you know that you could get your pooch involved, too? There’s a vegan complete dog food that has more protein in it than many meaty offerings. Noochy Poochy, the new brand of dry dog food, has an impressive omega fatty acid 6:3 ratio of 4 to 1, and supplemented amino acids L-carnitine, DL- methionine and taurine. The brand takes its name from nutritional yeast, known as ‘nooch’, which gives the food a delicious cheesy flavour- as the brand’s many satisfied ‘customers’ can testify… “My dog Lilly... is a really picky eater and I have never seen her finish a bowl of food in one go, but she demolished Noochy Poochy!” - Jordan (ZeroWaste store owner) For more information, or to buy, visit www.noochypoochy.com, The Vegan Kind or ask at your local health or pet store.

They can be a little shy at first, with Wibble Wobble usually taking the lead on introductions but with patience and a lot of love, we’re sure they’ll come out of their shells and grow up into two loving, playful cats who have hearts of gold!

York’s Independe Poor Mallow Mcwurter has had a really rough old time of it in his short existence. He was callously abandoned by his previous owners but thankfully a concerned member of the public took action and got him to us. He’s very fearful at the moment, and rightfully so, as he has been through a lot. He tries really hard to be brave and will have a little stroke but he still hides away a lot at the moment, so he will need somebody who will take their time with him and in doing you’ll be rewarded with an absolutely stellar lad! Hopefully, with your help, we can change his luck and find Mallow McWurter a nice home environment where he will finally know was it feels like to have a safe and settled life with some nice human folk!
