Hello!

Where are you right now? Are you one of those people who scoop up their monthly issue of Your Local Link and read it cover to cover right there on the doormat? Perhaps you prefer to stuff us in the magazine rack and leaf through during the ad breaks of Coronation Street? However and wherever you are, get yourself outside immediately... IT’S JULY, BABY! Because we know all too well how doors work, and how doormats (the primary landing pad of every issue of the magazine) tend to be on the inside of them, we’ve come to realise that Your Local Link could be seen as an ‘inside thing’; something you peruse and flick through while indoors. Well stop it right now and take the mag outside, its glorious out there.

Don’t believe us? Turn straight to the

Events section and you’ll see that there are a truck-load of fun things that you could be doing right now outside. In fact, don’t stop to check; just start walking into town and check on the way... you won’t be disappointed. There’s a new Jack the Ripper show at The Dungeon, York Art Gallery will finally reopen (on Yorkshire Day, no less), and the streets of our fair city will be chock-a-block with fairs, festivals, concerts, walks and talks.

Just think, if you’d started trotting into the city when you first began reading this intro, you might already be up to your elbows in summer fun (unless you live out in Strensall or somewhere, in which case you’ve probably only managed to stick the keys in the ignition). But whatever it is you get up to this month, both inside and out, have a corker of a time and we’ll see you next month.

Buddy Holly might have died in 1959, but his musical legacy is still as popular as ever. If you are a fan of the rock ‘n’ roll legend, or if you’d like to see (and hear) what the big deal about him is, Pick Me Up Theatre have just the show for you. Buddy charts the story of the icon and features all his greatest hits including That’ll Be The Day, Peggy Sue, Oh Boy and Rave On. Its original London production ran for more than 5,000 performances, making it one of the longest-running West End musicals. Buddy will hit the stage of the Joseph Rowntree Theatre, 5th -12th August, so visit www.pickmeuptheatre.com The great news is we have three pairs of tickets for the opening night on 5th August to give away. All you have to do for a chance of winning is answer this easy question:

If you are looking forward to spending as much time as possible with your family outside this month, you don’t get much more outside than Piglets Adventure Farm Park. The back-to-nature, animal-petting attraction just outside of Towthorpe has seen huge visitor numbers over the past couple of years; so much so that the park, complete with tractor rides, a giant sandpit, a farm yard trail, go-karts, and a massive maze (as well as other fun things), is about to expand! Find out more at www.pigletsfarmpark.co.uk The amazing news is that we have four family tickets to give away, each worth £24! For a chance of winning all you have to do is answer this easy question:

NOT JuST SuSHI If you think that Japanese food is restricted to sushi, then you are in for a world of tasty excitement when you go to Wagamama on Goodramgate. All of their delicious, varied food is cooked fresh, filled with an explosion of colours and aromas – think warming ramen, perfectly cooked rice, food seared using a Japanese griddle known as a teppan, and plenty of ginger and chilli. The Wagamama team update the menu seasonally, too, so there’s always a new dish to try. Visit www.wagamama.com or call 610888.

This month Howard has been eagerly awaiting the birth of his third child, and despite placing an order with his wife more than nine months ago, at time of writing the baby had yet to be delivered. It goes to show that the notion of ‘it takes 40 weeks for a human baby to grow’ is rubbish; just like a dodgy barbecue at your mate’s house, when it’s cooked, it’s cooked.

Oh, so this is summer in England May was one of the wettest on record, while so far June hasn’t proved to be much better. But are we surprised?

Nah. THIS IS ENGLAND. You can usually count the sunny, gorgeous, memorable days each summer in this country on a Yakuza’s hand. Still, hope springs, eh?

The Lord Mayor doesn’t want super powers This issue we interview newly elected Lord Mayor of York, Councillor Sonja Crisp, and discover that even if the position of Mayor came with a super power, she would turn it down.

York life, and life in general As seen By rAchel rAgg Rachel Ragg’s first literary break was a column on knickers in The Times.

She has been a freelance writer ever since, writing for everything from national broadsheets and magazines to local school websites. She has two children and lives in York.

‘What do you want for your birthday?’ I idly ask the soon-to-be 11-year-old. A Jack Wills hoody? The entire contents of Tinc? Yet another stuffed animal?

Yes, all are perfectly manageable, I think confidently.

‘A home-made cake,’ she replies confidently.

A home-made cake?!

What planet does she live on? Hasn’t she ever noticed that I would sooner hang out in the dreaded Claire’s than even think of baking anything? Even Sports Direct seems almost enticing compared to getting a baking tin out.

I take a deep breath. There are always those readymade cake-mix packets. Nobody will know the difference, so long as it comes out of an oven.

‘And I don’t mean one of those just-add-an-eggand-water cakes’, she adds reproachfully, evidently reading my mind.

My heart sinks. I do not bake. My culinary speciality is cheese on toast à la singe. The one time I didn’t burn it, my daughter’s friend was moved to point this fact out (I have never managed to learn that reading while cooking is not recommended).

[ [ naTURaLLY, mY ComPLETE FaILURE To BaKE Is mY moTHER’s FaULT.

‘What kind of cake?’ I say suspiciously.

‘I was thinking of a pig in a barrel of chocolate mud.’

Ah. Obviously. And there was I thinking that a Victoria Sponge might be a challenge.

Naturally, my complete failure to bake is my mother’s fault. My birthday cake was always the same: a little spongey thing covered in Hundreds

and Thousands from the local supermarket. Jolly nice it was, too.

Every year, we had to take a home-baked cake to Guide Camp. Every year, Mum would send me off with a supermarket sponge that she hadn’t even tried to disguise in Bacofoil. One despairing Girl Guide friend did try to teach me to bake a cake. I fear I was not a natural, as she didn’t encourage me to try again.

I then gave up until my son’s first birthday, around 18 years later, when I had a sudden feeling that I needed to prove my love for my precious first-born by making him a chocolate cake. Happily he was too young to take it personally. Annabel Karmel said the recipe was foolproof. It wasn’t.

But even if it had been: why on earth would I want to bake anything? Maybe in another universe I would have nice smiley children who took turns and waited to lick the proverbial spoon. But in real life, baking means: • A walk to the centre of York to spend a small fortune on ingredients that cost about 15 times the price of a cake that is actually edible.

• Another walk to the centre of York to buy a collection of British baking trays in Boyes because ours are unaccountably missing.

• Yet another walk to the centre of York to return

I’m sure that I ought to like baking.

All real mummies like baking. But in that case, I will remain an unreal mummy – and this time next week, I will be trawling around Jack Wills and Tinc, sending up yet another prayer of thanks to Marks and Spencer for their Percy Pig cakes.

Starsign of the month • Starsign of the month • Starsign of the month • Starsign of the month • Starsign of the month There’s a choice to be made this month that has its roots in matters of fairness and principle. Do you do something you really want to do, even if it means doing it alone because no one else wants to do it, or do you give in to the pressure of other people around you, and put your ambition on hold? I think it is important that you rise to the challenge, commit yourself to your own agenda, and although you’d rather be doing it with someone else, do what

you want on your own rather than not at all. If nothing else, it shows other people what you’re made of, and you would do well to remember that he or she who travels alone,frequently travels further and usually has a lot more fun.

So, if (metaphorically speaking) you want to go to Bermuda while someone else goes to Bridlington, send ‘em a postcard!

children may breathe a sigh of relief when a worry fails to materialise! It is a much calmer time on the home front providing (all) parents are prepared to exercise a little bit more discipline. Younger people will enjoy a sense of freedom and movement and there are new jobs on the horizon.

not forget your past, there are certain painful memories from your history which now must be put into the pigeon hole of past events. Don’t try turning the clock backwards – rather, turn it forwards. Be on guard against the influence of old flames, especially if you are associated with someone who can’t let go.

to plait fog or push a snowball up hill, it might be a good time to re-evaluate your options. Other people around you might not be as understanding as you might wish, so in some areas you’re going to have to go it alone.

On a brighter note, battles with bureaucracy now seem to be on the wane.

emotional level July is a good month for healing heartaches and building bridges. Indeed, there is a welcome sense of families pulling together towards common goals and to capitalise on this trend, let sleeping dogs lie. A few hiccups in the third week may be annoying – but that’s all they are.

As concern for one member of the family ebbs, then so another flows, and this is not you just worrying unnecessarily. 11th hour journeys are possible within the framework of existing travel commitments.

Fortunately for most Sagittarians there is a little more cash in the kitty.

CAPRICORN

23rd December-20th January Should be a

reasonably good month moneywise, but you need to check details and keep an eye on accounts.

Involvement with someone else’s problems seems inevitable, but you should be able to do a great deal to help. New domestic routines serve you well.

AQUARIUS

21st January-18th February The best laid plans of mice and men can go awry through unforeseen circumstances and you’d be well advised to stay loose and flexible with some of your plans and commitments. While there is no direct threat to your health, this is not the month to take up snow boarding or shark wrestling.

PISCES

19th February-19th March

Independent ladies of the sign probably have a better month than most other Pisceans, and all the fish would do well to follow their heads

rather than their hearts. In other words, business and the buck should be given priority at this time, which will allow you much more flexibility and time for developing important emotional relationships later on.

20th March-19th April

A relaxed and laid back kind of month in which you will be content to follow the leadership and ideas of other people, especially loved ones within the family circle. On the downside, a couple of opportunities may be missed around the 9th, 10th and 11th but the bottom line is that you’ll be disinclined to take any kind of risk.

You will be tempted to coast through July, more than content with your achievements in May and June. This is a bad idea! If anything, you need to push even harder to maintain your momentum. It doesn’t matter if you are pursuing the romantic idyll or the business break through, the rules remain the same.

GEMINI

22nd May-21st June A very good month for gathering your strength, especially if there have been some niggling health problems over the last few weeks which may have drained your energy. Somewhere around the 11th there will be dealings with red tape, focusing on insurance and compensation claims. Don’t be lazy about this and demand that which is yours.

as the Art Gallery today, was just a part of the construction, as to the rear a huge exhibition hall was also built.

Join us as we journey back in time. No pushing.

Following a German bombing raid in 1942, in which the gallery and parts of St Mary’s Abbey were hit, the abandoned exhibition hall was demolished and the land cleared. In 1944 the site was rented by the Royal Canadian Air Force and huts and tents were erected to house pilots.

This month: york art gallery

As the grand reopening of the York Art Gallery on 1st August looms, following several years of closure and refurbishment, we decided to take a look back at the building’s – and the site’s – fascinating history. Because we’re cool.

The huge hall, seen here from above looking south, stretched all the way to Marygate.

From abbey to art The land on which the soon-to-be reopened Art Gallery sits was once part of St Mary’s Abbey, the huge Benedictine monastery that we have written about in these pages in the past. That is the reason those huge walls encase the gallery site and separate it from Bootham, but it is the 19th century that gave our city its own dedicated gallery.

Once the existing buildings, which included a pub called ‘The Bird in Hand’, had been cleared, Exhibition Square and the gallery building were constructed in 1879. It was built to house the second Yorkshire Fine Art and Industrial Exhibition, a gathering of the best in art and scientific endeavours from the city and further afield. The front building, what most people would recognise

of his impressive horde of paintings. However, by 1909 the large exhibition hall had been declared unsafe and was closed, drawing the entire collection within the current gallery building on Exhibition Square. The square itself saw a new addition in 1911 when the statue of York-born artist William Etty was installed. And he’s still there, bless him.

More to see Between 1948 and 1963 the Dean of York Minster, Eric Milner-White, donated dozens of paintings to the gallery, further bolstering the collection and adding to York’s international artistic acclaim.

Significantly in 1955, Lycett Green presented the gallery with his entire collection of Old Master paintings. As the guardian wrote at the time: ‘…with this notable addition, York in one stride takes a new place in the front rank of British art collections.’

Changing hands

Build

The gallery buildings continued to house the special exhibition until being purchased by City of York Council in 1892. By that time the gallery’s collection of art had really started to grow, following, in1882, the donation by John Burton

The art gallery has also commissioned artists to create work to be displayed within it, of the most famous example being in 1953. The painting of Clifford’s Tower by L.S. Lowry has become an iconic image associated with York, and you’ll be able to view it once again from 1st August.

La Petite Mort have been described as ‘trippy, murky, jazzy walls of noise’ and having seen them in the past I can confirm they put on a pretty solid show.

The exam period was tough. Waking up at 5 in the morning having tried to answer an exam question on libel in my sleep wasn’t a good time for me.

Luckily I’d pre-empted that June would be a stressful month for me, so I’d booked a quick weekend away with mum to Spain. Nestled away in the Vall de Gallinera behind Valencia where our family once lived, life goes by at a different pace. The locals seem to come out early morning and chat on the streets, retreat by lunch time and reappear just in time for tea, where they go and what they do I have no idea. We all know about

siestas, but a 7-hour siesta? I’m not sure.

Healthy eating isn’t really seen as healthy eating, it’s just normal eating out there. Snacking on fruit and enjoying copious amounts of salad is more or less the norm. There’s plenty of bread and garlic mayo too,

DONNING THE CHAINS

principle you are, satisfy ev

After recently being elected to the position of Lord Mayor, we throw ten questions at Councillor Sonja Crisp.

1

you’ve recently become the lord mayor. What exactly is a mayor?

In York, the Lord Mayor is the first citizen of the city. It is my duty to be an ambassador for the city locally, nationally and occasionally internationally, and to represent the city at events and functions if and when required.

2

does this mean you’ll live in the mansion house? if so, have you heard about the ghosts?

Yes, I’ve moved into the Mansion House, and I know there are supposed to be ghosts but I’ve not seen any... so far. I believe one can sense if a home has been a happy one or not and this house feels like a happy house to me, so any ghosts here would probably not be malicious. Theoretically the house is mine for a year, but, in truth, I live in an apartment on the top floor and I share the house with the citizens of York.

i

a b and see

you used to be the cabinet member for leisure and tourism.

What was your proudest moment in that role?

3

My proudest moment was eventually getting planning permission for the Community Stadium, followed hot on its heels by the 2nd stage of the Tour de France.

4

5

have you always wanted to be lord mayor?

Before being elected in 2007, I never dreamed I could ever be Lord Mayor of York. I am the working class daughter of a political refugee, one of ten children, and we were extremely poor

when I was a child. However, my father and mother told me I could do good things, perhaps even great things with my life if I put my mind to it and the right amount of luck came my way. I was taught that much of what happens in life is about being in the right place at the right time and taking the right fork in the road. It is an incredible honour to be chosen to be the Lord Mayor of York and I’m determined to do the role justice.

6

Any advice for aspiring politicians?

Yes. Stay true to your beliefs. Some compromising is inevitable but your

What got you into politics in the first place?

My father was my life influence. He was a political “it is an refugee and, as a 19 year incredible honour - old he escaped from to be chosen to be Nazi occupied Denmark during WWII to come over the lord mayor of to England to fight against york.” fascism. He was a strong socialist and a great believer in combating injustice and unfairness and in speaking out when you witness either of those, even if it makes you unpopular. He instilled in me the same values and I’ve done the same with my children.

I’m suspicious of super powers. If they existed, they would give an advantage in one way or another to one individual. Well meaning or not, the far-reaching consequences of using a super power could be incredibly harmful.

THE RAILWAY

GROWN-UP hoWArd: Right, I’m going to record this chat if you don’t mind. So please don’t swear. mArTin: Don’t worry I’m used to that; I’ve recently been hosting a show on BBC radio York. One time I left the mic up while a song was playing, and there’s me chatting away over the track. Got a text from a friend telling me he could hear me.

Oh dear. h: I can imagine that’d pretty tricky, with timings and so on. Is it similar to working in the theatre? m: It is a bit, yes. But there’s more freedom in the theatre. Speaking of which, I’ll be playing Mr Perks once more which I’m very happy about. It was 2008 when The Railway Children

first happened in York - without me that time round, as I was working. I then heard that it was coming back in 2009, and I found out the chap playing the role before me was unavailable. I then got the call to see if I was interested, which of course I was. That is an actor’s dream... if work is offered to you, it is a pure gift.

I was told: ‘All you need is a whistle, a red flag, and a green flag - don’t mess them up!’ It’s such a great show though, and the music is wonderful. h: So you’re looking forward to doing it again, then? m: Oh yes. Obviously physical theatre is my favourite way to perform, but that really takes it out of you. This show is different; it’s

charming and filled with atmosphere.

There are some really serious themes involved in the show, with the treason and the condemned man.

But I’m very much looking forward to it. h: So where in the museum is it being staged? m: They’re building a purpose-built

“ COMING TO YORK WAS LIKE HAVING A POSH DAY OUT ” theatre out the back of Station Hall.

I remember then I walked into the stage of the 2009 production, and it was like walking onto a MGM movie set. The whole thing was blackedout and specially lit. It’ll be absolutely

splendid.

Also this time the theatre is a 1,000-seater, unlike last time when we had just 500 in a show. This will be more site specific as well, with actors walking amongst the audience.

I’ll be strolling around telling jokes and taking tickets before the show starts.

Then the whole thing just begins with a blast of my whistle - and one time in 2009 I forgot it!

It really is genius though, and I have no idea how there can be such seamless scene changes carried

The director Damien Cruden has real vision and drive, and he achieves so much. h: And I suppose to have a real locomotive in the show, something that weighs several tonnes, must take real planning and lots of work to get right and do safely. m: It really does, and there are lots of people working very hard behind the scenes to make it happen. h: I have to ask... is there anything you can reveal to me about this year’s panto? m: Ha! Well, I can tell you that I’ll have lines in it, that’s all. Although this is my 30th year! My first ever show here was the stage version of Kes, and as I’m originally from Hull, coming to York was like having a posh day out. Anyway, the director saw that I

enjoyed physical theatre and asked me what my views on panto were.

Obviously I said it was the greatest art form ever. After that I was introduced to Berwick Kaler, and the rest is history... h: Martin, thanks very much and best of luck with The Railway Children. m: Cheers Howard.

with DAN TAIT

It’s that time of year again, the height of summer (meaning unpredictable English sunshine), but also the time of year you get annoying wasps. I am not talking about those black and yellow things either; I am on about the weird, waste of time, cricket predictor. Basically it stands for Winning And Score Predictor, and tends to go down immediately when Ian Bell comes into bat, but it is supposed to work out a percentage chance of winning (which you can pretty much work out for yourself!). When England lost four wickets in about 10 minutes, it didn’t take a wasp to tell me that there was more chance of Sepp Blatter winning the Noble Peace Prize than England beating New Zealand that day.

Buzz off

Ashes to ashes

Of course July also sees the small matter of the Ashes. Good job we didn’t have WASP when I was growing up as it would have had us at a 0% chance of winning. It felt like it took us three days to finally get the Aussies out of bat, while we would be out and following on by lunch. About three quarters of their team were considered to be world class, and to be honest Kylie and Danni Minogue or even Alf from Home and Away could have been part of that side and they would have still won. Even more bizarrely, all those inferior English players are now pundits telling the likes of Alistair Cook how to play; the one player who has done something they haven’t – win in Australia.

The talking stops on 8th July for the First Test where hopefully Yorkshire’s Joe Root can continue his recent good form.

A game of two halves

Onto football now, and just when the season concludes, another one is upon us. York City, ahead of their final campaign at Bootham Crescent, have a busy pre-season schedule lined up. Starting with Middlesbrough on Saturday 11th July, they also have other home friendlies scheduled against Leeds United (Wednesday 15th July)

and fresh from appointing York-born Steve McClaren, Newcastle United arrive on Wednesday 29th July. At the time of writing, signings have been slow going for Russ Wilcox, but whilst transfer talk has been quiet, all supporters are excited about the Yorkshire derby against Bradford City drawn for the First Round of the League Cup.

Serving up While sports fans are a year off the European Championships and Olympic Games, one sporting constant is the tennis, and Wimbledon is upon us once more. I don’t mind a bit of tennis, but can’t help think that it must be demoralising every time a player sees his name drawn out the hat, only for the next player to be Novak Djokovic. The only thing more demoralising at Wimbledon will be getting to the front of the strawberry

queue and remembering you only brought a tenner with you. Andy Murray has already tasted another defeat to the Serbian genius at the recent French Open, but must be hoping that the home crowd, and the lack of form from Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer, can give him a great chance. I just hope we see as much of the games he plays as we do his mum in the crowd.

remembering lee Finally, on a more serious and sombre note, I finish this column with reference to the sad news that former York boxer Lee Stewart sadly passed away, aged 24, after falling ill on holiday. Lee’s name had been mentioned a few times in this column in the past for his excellent achievements in the sport; a 100% record from three professional bouts all just after turning 20 years of age.

Having had the pleasure of covering a number of York boxing clubs

successes, I know first-hand how highly Lee was thought of as a fighter.

Both his former trainer Glenn Banks and sparring partner Graham Fearn admired Lee’s skills, and in particular his win over popular journeyman Johnny Greaves, who by all accounts was made to look like he had never been in a ring when faced with Lee Stewart due to the speed and technical skills he possessed. Also a talented footballer, Lee will be sadly missed by family and friends.

We’re 12!

Can you believe it? It doesn’t seem like five minutes since we were toddling around in nappies, but Your Local Link is 12 years old this month. Our current Editorial team, Nic, Howard and Krystal, look back at the last few years and reminisce like elderly sailors.

Howard

Highlight for me...? Sure, I’ve met and chatted to some interesting people (Brian Blessed was typically insane, Sandi Toksvig was fun, Syd Little was Syd Little for God’s sake, Miriam Margolyes is my new grandmother, and Pauline McLynn at no point offered me tea) but I have to say that my most memorable moments were the times I’ve been up in a helicopter at York Maze. The trips might only have been five minutes at a time, but I spent the first minute taking photos of the maze, and then the remaining four minutes staring out over York and shouting ‘I AM YOUR KING! LOOK AT YOU, PUNY ANTS! BEHOLD MY AIRBORNE MAJESTY!’ Last year the

Nic

TWiggy

The first thing that springs to mind when looking back at my time at ‘the Link’ is all the famous people I was lucky enough to speak to. Lulu was really lovely and very interesting, though she did actually sing at me while I was interviewing her which was quite bizarre. Jimmy Osmond was also most probably the nicest man I’ve ever had the pleasure of speaking to apart from my granddad. And I got an email from Terry Deary, author of Horrible Histories, which made ‘nine-year-old me’ incredibly proud of ‘adult me’.

There were a few features that were really cool to write, too. My first proper piece involved ‘auditioning’ to be a member of staff at York’s Chocolate Story when it opened, which was heavenly as I was able to talk at length about chocolate, and it was also hilarious because I had no idea what I was doing. And of course, photographing Berwick Kaler for the December front cover is a hoot every year!

Krystal Most memorable moments...? probably when I got complaints about my anti-cat column. It was a learning curve; for starters you can’t go round bad mouthing cats and then make a spelling mistake, as you will get annihilated. It taught me that people’s loyalty to cats is a force to be reckoned with. Still, it’s great to know that people actually read my stuff.

On a personal level, it has been amazing to become

pilot swore at me.

Other than that, I’ve really enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) exploring parts of the city you might not normally think about. For my monthly Time Travel feature I’ve delved into dark basements, been led along partflooded tunnels, spent freezing afternoons gawping at tombstones, and forced my wife to reconsider our marriage after saying ‘guess what this building used to be’ too many times... you know, just what every 33 year old with a ‘degree’ in theatre likes to do.

It’s apt that this is our twelfth birthday, as I’ve always felt like a 12 year old. Apart from when I was actually 12; then I felt like I was in my mid-forties. an apprentice here at Your Local Link. Having the opportunity to do a diploma with the NCTJ has been the most useful learning experience I’ve ever had. I also once got to test the Rajeunir lip serum. I suffer from horrendously dry lips and from time to time look like I’ve got a red moustache, so getting things to try out is great. Oh, and my other favourite moment was when Howard was testing hair-powder and made salesman Gary look like a Lego man.

your fAmily

Howard Mosley-Chalk is a father and a husband. But more importantly he is a man. These are his (un)manly words.

Hello, I am not here. That is to say that I’ve taken a bit of time off this month as my wife is producing yet another child and apparently ‘needs help’. I told her to get a nanny, but then remembered it wasn’t 1860 and that we didn’t own shares in the East India Company. So instead of regaling you with news of recent happenings at casa de Mosley-Chalk, I shall tell you an anecdote. I don’t really agree with anecdotes, as they are essentially a way to let other people know how interesting your life is and are prone to dramatic embellishments. I wish I had embellished the following; perhaps I would come out of it looking like less of an idiot.

odd JoB My first ever job was as a tour guide, after setting up my own company immediately following university. The premise was to lead a guided walk around York, pointing out sites of historical interest... which were all made up! I called it the Hystorical Walk of York (you now, like how hysterical is spelled. Great, eh?), actually received Arts Council funding to do it, then hired a bunch of actors to pop up along the route.

Needless to say it was awful. Having a comedy alternative to the traditional ghost walks seemed like a good idea, and probably would have been had I put any effort into the script. But marketing it along with all the other history walks meant we had an audience of people expecting actual history. Disappointment was rife. For a start it was all terribly local, with jokes in there about the

current road works in Heworth, and how funny it was when someone put soap in the fountain on Parliament Street. Bear in mind that often my audience consisted of American, Canadian, and Chinese tourists and you can understand their perplexion.

rude It was also horrendously inappropriate as I’d neglected to put on the posters that it was intended for adults only. And so almost every night there were unhappy parents who had to answer awkward questions from their confused children, mainly about the ‘Viking’ character who, we had decided during drunken rehearsals, would read aloud passages from Ulrika Jonsson’s autobiography. Just because. I remember one young German boy asking me why it was that the

fin The car-crash of a show ended with myself and all the other characters getting into a fist fight before fleeing the scene, leaving the put-upon

audience to stand around wondering if it had indeed ended. The first time we ever did this, I slapped (for real) the face-painted Emperor, screamed that I would never work with any of them again, then sprinted away down Petergate, fake crying. A policeman saw me do this and, thinking it a real assault, started to chase after me, resulting in me having to shout, “It’s not real, it’s not real! I’m an actor!”

He wasn’t impressed. Neither were the paying punters.

Charles Hutchinson, The Press’ arts correspondent who has been forced to sit through most of the theatrical abominations I’ve unleashed upon York, reported that my walk was ‘not very historical, and not very hysterical’, which was pretty spot on.

In the years that followed I tried again as a tour guide on several occasions, with mixed results (including a similar walk about Viking for the JORVIK Viking Festival - strangely enough I wasn’t asked back the following year).

So there’s an anecdote, and a little insight into how much of an arrogant fool I used to be, to tide you over until next month. Right I’m off to wipe up poo and corral two giddy children away from their resting mama. Maybe I’ll tell them some false history while I’m at it...

your fAmily

Romans decided to leave Britain, and I told him it was because we only had four TV channels back then.

We also reimagined Constantine the Great as a greenpainted Australian, while Guy Fawkes was a charming Frenchmen for no reason other than we thought it would be funny.

Couple all that with my revelation that the central tower of York Minster was converted into an anti-aircraft gun during World War Two, and you can see why some people might have regretted spending four pounds and an hour of their precious summer’s evening in York.

The agency’s distinctive work for beer maker Treboom was presented with a Bronze award in the Packaging Design category in the ceremony in Italy. Within the design industry an A’ Award is generally regarded as a ‘certificate of excellence’ for creative work.

It should come as no great surprise then that the University of York was recently named the Educate North University of the Year. The award, which recognises outstanding performance in business, finance, teaching, research, student experience, innovation and economic impact, was given after York fought off competition from Newcastle and Lancaster. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of York, Professor Koen Lamberts, said: ‘We are thrilled to be named Educate North University of the Year. We believe this award reflects the dedication to excellence of our staff and students.’ Well done indeed.

The future is here and you can wear it, apparently.

We take a look at some wearable technology.

LEAPBAND.

Virtual pets were all the rage in the 90s with the annoying little tamagotchi. But having kids sitting down all day pressing tiny buttons to feed a nonexistent animal isn’t a great way to get them fit. That is why LeapFrog have created the LeapBand, a virtual pet that kids care for by being active. The more children run and jump around, the more points they receive to play with their virtual pet. They have to copy the creature on the watch’s tiny screen as it hops about and wiggles like a worm, getting healthy as they go. But it still tells the time, right? Right?

■ £19.99 from www.argos.co.uk

ZEPP MULTI SPORT SENSOR.

If you’ll be spending most of the summer outside playing sport, this little gadget could help you improve your game. The Zepp Multi Sport Sensor is perfect for golfers and tennis players as, once attached to either your glove or racquet, it will monitor exactly how you move around during a game. It will track all motion, allowing you to use the connected smartphone app to see exactly how you play, and how you could improve.

Fortunately everything it monitors is interpreted in easy to read data on your phone, and at no point does the Zepp laugh at you.

But that is definitely a gadget we need. SHAME US! SHAME US INTO ACTION! ■ £129.99 from www.currys.co.uk

SONY SMARTWATCH 3. This eagerly

anticipated smartwatch connects to your phone via Bluetooth and displays lots of information and messages so you don’t have to actually pick up your phone.

Not only can the watch tell you that one of your Facebook ‘friends’ has cooked some food and promptly photographed it, it will also act like a GPS and activity tracker, monitoring your movements throughout the day. The Sony watch runs Android’s Wear software, meaning there are hundreds of apps available to download to customise your experience. It’s waterproof too, because of showers and that. Pricey though. ■ £230 from www.mobilefun.co.uk

SMARTPHONE APPS SNOWBALL. This app shows messages from all your favourite social apps in one place. It’s the fastest way to talk to your friends.

LOVOO. A simple and fun way to discover the stories next door. Get connected with new people around you.

Express yourself, share your amazing moments, and get inspired.

Watch out, hares!

We could pussy-foot around this news story, but we’re simply going to exclaim LOOK, THIS TORTOISE HAS GOT WHEELS. WHEELS! The 90 year old creature in question is Welsh tortoise Mrs. T, who after having her front legs mercilessly chewed off by a rat while she was hibernating, was fitted with front wheels and now zooms around.

Owner Jude Ryder was shocked to find her ageing pet nearly dead after the rat attack, but following life-saving surgery (which cost £1000), the vet told her that Mrs. T would probably die if she couldn’t move herself around. Enter Jude’s son, engineer Dale, who constructed a special wheeled harness for Mrs. T. Now she can move twice as fast, and is probably burning some serious rubber looking for that fiendish rat!

Last month we revealed that Honda produced the most reliable cars, but following the results of the Auto Express Driver Power Customer Satisfaction Survey, we now know who the worst all-roaders are. The survey, which asks motorists about their experiences of owning their cars, looks specifically at how the car companies deal with customer complaints and comments. Rock bottom of the list was Chrysler, which is unsurprising as they no longer even sell cars in the UK, resulting in next to no customer service. The second worst was Suzuki, followed closely by Vauxhall - which was surprising considering that their Astra and Corsa models were in the top five selling cars in the UK last year. Land Rover fared no better in 29th place, with owners complaining that the prestige branding wasn’t enough to make up for high running and repair costs. In case you were wondering which car company came out on top... it was Lexus, which Alan Partridge famously regarded as ‘the Japanese Mercedes.’

Military mite (help)

your gAdgeTs

We have all the latest news from things that go vroom!

British car manufacturer Jaguar are so keen to make their newest model, the XE, a success, that they’ve called in the military. But before you worry that the new fleet of luxury vehicles will feature machine guns, missiles and tank tracks, Jaguar is far more interested in the squadies’ drive and determination. More than 100 exservice personal have recently been hired at the Jaguar plant in the West Midlands, where they have been tasked with overseeing production and making sure everything runs with military precision. Jaguar have a lot riding on their new car, and to ensure everything is ship-shape they have former members of the Army, Navy and RAF keeping the robotic production line workers in check and making everything leaner and more efficient. We were very happy to hear this, because if the robotic workers decide to rise up against their human masters, we’d all prefer a bunch of hardened soldiers as our first line of defence.

Happy birthday, Steve!

Well, when we say Steve, we’re actually wishing many happy returns to his local fascia company, Plasti-Fit. Back in the month when popstars were taking to the stage to Make Poverty History in the Live 8 concerts (yep, that was a whole decade ago) Steve Haigh set up his own business offering installation and replacement of fascias, soffits and guttering in York. He decided back then that he wanted to make things as easy as possible for his customers, which is why he offers a full service (including tidying up) and he doesn’t simply clad over existing fascias but completely restructures the roofline with new timber.

What’s more, Plasti-Fit’s uPVC boards never need to be painted, and won’t rot or degrade. In fact, Steve is so confident in his products that he offers a full tenyear guarantee – so if you order new fascias today, you will be covered until the company turns 20.  Visit www.plastifityork.co.uk or call 01904 653796.

Father and son team Robert and James Chapman have a good reason to smile. They are celebrating their first year of successful trading as the new franchisees of Dream Doors, a company which specialises in transforming kitchens. Instead of tearing out your entire kitchen and starting from scratch - something that could weeks and thousands of pounds - Dream Doors can revitalise the room by simply adding new cabinet doors, worktops, and storage solutions. The change has to be seen to be believed, so if you feel like summer is the perfect time to breathe new life into a tired old kitchen, pop in to Robert and James’ showroom in Fishergate, or call 622234.

Accents

This room may not be to your taste (a bit too much Victoriana for my liking) but take note of the different ways the designer ties this scheme together with accents of green.

Firstly: an eye-catching display of plates on the wall – all different styles and designs (cabbage leaf, anyone?), but unified by tones of teal, grass, olive and avocado. Next: the vases on the mantelpiece (complete with ferns) and the artichoke on the table all provide tiny blink-and-you’llmiss-it accents. Finally: the rug. By incorporating tones of grey, blue, green and white, this design pulls each of the room’s individual tones into one space, grounding the whole scheme in a subtle way.

Green on White

(and if you’re looking for another colour to make your green go zing, take note of the gold chandelier and mirror – it’s like an Atkinson Grimshaw painting come to life…)

Nothing says clean and fresh like a green-on-white colour scheme. This designer has worked some fantastically brash details onto a bright white background and employed an important theme from this season’s trend: botanics. Green teamed with natural motifs may seem a bit of an obvious combination, but let that lend you some confidence with your choices. Prints can be big, bold and unapologetic like these side chairs whose scale is balanced out by the naturalist prints and smaller details on display above.

There is no mistaking: this bathroom is GREEN. One look at this picture actually made me catch my breath – I love it – but if you’re partial to changing your mind frequently about interior schemes then perhaps this approach is not for you.

Subway tiles, encaustic tiles, painted radiator, artwork: all unapologetically green, with the added emphasis of a gigantic mirror and reflective ironmongery to magnify the impact. Wow. If you’re tempted to go all out, maybe imitate this designer’s ‘restraint’ by experimenting with a cloakroom-sized WC and not the family bathroom... less hassle to change it if you get bored.

Layer it up Here we see large, plain blocks of colour all layered up and tied together under the ‘green’ banner.

This statement bottle-green couch is anchored with a rug of many tones, which bounce off each other. What stops the scheme from becoming too overwhelming is the subdued charcoal tones running throughout and the wood finishes happily providing a natural undertone. The botanic theme is echoed again this

time with a charcoal and white colour scheme, but there is no mistaking that green is king in this space.

History There are more than half a million grade listed and protected buildings in England, and York has more than its fair share of those. From stunning examples of medieval architecture like the Minster and the Guildhall, to lesser known (but just as beautiful) private houses dotted throughout the city, York is crammed full of historic buildings. And now, in Ramsdale Properties, the city has an estate agent company that specialises in all this important heritage.

Ramsdale Properties possess an expert knowledge of conservation and restoration; ideal for those

in the making

who live in, or hope to soon be living in, a grade listed house. Their friendly team, who boast an impressive 20 years working within the industry for the likes of English Heritage, The National Trust, York Minster and The Houses of Parliament, can also offer advice and help with applying for grants to maintain and restore listed buildings.

More‘ estate’, less‘ agent’ They don't simply sell and help you buy your house; the team will also draw upon their collective expertise to advise on valuations and surveys, as

well as any legal and archaeological issues that might arise. You'll soon discover that you and your home are in the very best of hands, as Ramsdale Properties understand the pressures and demands on those of us who own, or are looking to own, a building with a unique and colourful history.

With Ramsdale you learn what it is you can do with your home, not just what you can't, as well as learning how to go about it and who to talk to.

Who knows, you might uncover some incredible history, filled with fascinating human stories, that will put your home on the map. With Ramsdale Properties behind you, you could save time and money, avoid set-backs, and share your passion for your home with those who truly understand.

k

The future of radio is digital. This may sound obvious, but there have been rumours surrounding the switch to DAB digital radio broadcasts for years and the Government is still undecided on a date. What we can say with certainty is that consumers are voting with their feet; digital listening figures for the first quarter of 2015 show that 54% of listeners now tune in digitally.

This is an increase of nearly 10% over last year and reflects the fact that many local and BBC stations are now available on digital for the first time.

Importantly, the previous lack of DAB radios in cars was a real stumbling block for analogue switch off; however the automotive industry has been quick to react with 60% of new cars now fitted with a DAB radio rather than an analogue.

Why should you switch? Simple: better reception and a huge choice of stations. You can listen to digital broadcasts through a DAB radio with an indoor aerial the same as you would have done with analogue, but you can also listen through your TV or broadband. Your TV aerial will almost certainly give better reception than an indoor aerial and failing that an

internet connected radio will end the problems of over-the-air transmission completely. In terms of choice, DAB offers hundreds of stations including quality BBC content not available on analogue, like BBC Radio 4 extra and BBC Radio 5 live sports extra (which I used recently to listen to some excellent coverage of the England Vs. New Zealand Investec Cricket Test Match from Headingley).

I should also mention that DAB radios are easier to tune in and come in every shape and colour you could want, so make sure your next radio is a digital one!

Want to learn more? Please come in and see us for advice on radios from Roberts Radio, Pure Digital Radios, Sony and Panasonic, as well as internet radios from Samsung and Sonos. â– Visit www.htodd.co.uk

SHIRTLESS MAN, SHARP BLADE... OUTRAGE!

If you’ve seen the BBC’s Poldark, you may have noticed a scene in which a topless Aidan Turner, in the titular role, hacked at a field of crops with a scythe.

Outrage has hit the media since the episode aired, not because of the brazen use of ‘sexy man chest’ to win viewers, but rather because Polark seemed pretty inept at scything. ‘There was a lot of sweating and grunting going on,’ expert scyther Chris Riley told The Telegraph, ‘but the only time you’d mow like that would be in a competition. Scything is an efficient and poetic way of cutting rather than the way it was portrayed on Poldark, where it was this very aggressive, manly action.’ Message boards across the internet exploded with comments about how poorly scything was being portrayed, which seems to produce a zen-like trance in its participants. We’d also like to add an intelligent comment by saying PHROAR! LOOK AT HIM! SWOON!

WHAT A NICE BUNCH CHEW LIKE A TUDOR Have you found any bunches of flowers lying around the city recently? If you have, the chances are they were left there by a member of the NAFAS (The National Association of Flower Arranging Societies). Now in its second year, the Lonely Bouquet scheme sees members of the organisation leave beautiful bunches of blooms in public spaces, inviting people to take

them home and cherish them. Those who find a bunch, which last year were spread across the country, on park benches, in shop doorways, and decorating famous landmarks, are encouraged to get in touch with the group to say how much they appreciated them. So if a vase in your house was recently occupied by surprise, get in touch and find out how to be involved next year.  Visit www.nafas.org.uk

Ah, the classic roast dinner... the meat (ideally beef), boiled potatoes, a couple of roasties, carrots, green beans, sprouts, skirret, and all drenched with piping hot grav... wait... skirret? What? Yes, skirret, the lesser-known root vegetable that has fallen from favour in recent centuries.

At one time this slender white root was a must-have on a Tudor plate,

but difficulties in mass-harvesting them meant that potatoes and parsnips soon overtook. But now it seems that skirret is seeing something of a revival, as the vegetable, which was introduced to Britain by the Romans and once called ‘the sweetest, whitest and most pleasant of roots,’ by John Worlidge in 1677, is being experimented with by the food historian at the Historic Royal Palaces charity, Marc Meltonville. He describes it as having ‘a sweet start, moving through a carrot-like flavour, with a peppery aftertaste.’ Who knows... maybe skirret mash will soon be adorning your Sunday dinner plate.

PLANT-LORE

Awww, not sprouts?!?

We take a look at the small delicious balls of goodness that seem to miff kids off so much, Brussels Sprouts.

•

Sprouts are one of the best natural sources of vitamins C and K.

•

Along with their relative broccoli, Brussels sprouts are currently being researched due to their potential anti-cancer properties.

•

As well as limes, Captain James Cook had his sailors eat a variety of sprouts to help fight off scurvy. So Americans could have instead referred to Britons as ‘sprouties’. Missed a trick there, Yanks.

•

Sprouts were first cultivated on a large scale in Europe in Belgium, hence the modern prefix of Brussels.

•

Today the Netherlands produces the most sprouts for export, whereas the UK produces a similar amount, but most of them stay here with us... to bother kids. They don’t know they’re born.

With evermore open spaces being lost to developments of one sort or another, along with the documented decline of butterflies and wildlife species in general, we gardeners should step in to help. Even if you only have a limited space, there are lots of ways in which you can encourage wildlife to your garden. Obviously we find all flowers attractive; however, from the butterfly’s point of view, some are more beneficial than others.

A lot of flowers that would come under the bracket of ‘cottage garden’ plants are perfect for attracting nectar-loving insects; other favourites of the butterfly are Violets, Antirrhinums, Asters and Sedum varieties. When these are planted in warm sunny sites the scents will be heightened. An ideal way of attracting things into your garden is by giving them the habitat that they require. For some wild life that means exactly what it says: your garden should be wild. Piles of old logs and branches make perfect hide outs for all sorts of creatures, although some of them won’t be beneficial to all your plants, they will be a good meal for somebody else; for example birds will eat slugs and snails.

Having wildlife in your garden that feeds on the plant-eating insects and molluscs can only be a good thing. Hedgehogs love slugs and to encourage them in the first instance you could provide a hedgehog house and sprinkle hedgehog niblets around it.

The one plant we all know of course, the ‘Butterfly Bush’, is Buddleia Davidii, a tall flowering deciduous shrub with honeyscented cone-shaped spikes.

More well-known favourites for butterflies are Lilac, Syringa Vulgaris, again a sweetly scented, large flowering shrub. Hebe is a genus of plants with lots of different varieties to choose from, also Lavender, both English and French types can be seen laden with bees and butterflies when in flower. Lonicera (Honeysuckle) is a very sweetly scented climber with nectar-rich flowers that rank high on the list of butterfly attractants.

As well as providing food for wildlife you could try and encourage them to stay by providing both shelter and roosting sites. Corylus Avellana ‘Contorta’, Twisted Hazel, is a perfect plant for small birds. The tangle of branches allows small birds to dart inside for cover from larger predatory birds, or cats, whilst providing a food source when covered in catkins.

There are booklets produced on all the different species that you may be able to attract, showing you what they look like, what they are called, identification tips and where they live. These booklets look at butterflies, insects, bugs, frogs, bats, hedgehogs and birds and many others. As you can see there are lots of ways that you can help out nature and also make your garden that little bit more exciting.

Moths are fascinating creatures that deserve our appreciation and study.

However, the furry little winged beasties tend only to come out past our bedtime, making it difficult to see them out in the wild. Thankfully Wheatlands Community Woodland is here to help, offering one and all the chance to see moths in their natural habitat, at night, in the woodland in Poppleton. From 9pm on 18th July grab your torch, get to the woodland, and join Dr David Chesmore of the University of York for a walk around and to take part in the national moth survey.  Find out moth… we mean, more… at www.wheatlandswoodland.co.uk

Growing co-operation Those strange people who walk by the end of your drive, or who you pass by at the bus stop at the end of your road… those people are your neighbours. If you’d like a way to actually meet those people without holding up a sign saying ‘I’m nice. Talk to me’, get involved with CCC. Creating Co-operative Communities in Haxby and Wigginton is interested in helping everyone muck in, share, and grow their own food. On 8th July, at St Mary’s Church Hall, you can attend their next sharing event to swap your home-grown produce, or to pick up some from your neighbours if your own crop has been less than bountiful. The event takes place 1.302.30pm, you don’t need a creepy introduction sign, and to find out more, call 760659.

GROW YoUR OWN with DEBBIE PENDLE from Brunswick Organic Nursery

ASK DEBS @ BRUNSWICK NURSERY

Q: Are there any vegetables that would grow well in the shady areas of my back garden?

a: Full sun is always the best choice for edible crops, but most of us have areas where the light is affected by trees and buildings or garden structures. No vegetables can cope with heavy shade all day, but some crops are suitable for those areas that are in shade for part of the day.

Leafy crops cope better than fruiting crops, so try growing plants from the beet family like beetroot, Swiss chard or perpetual (beet) spinach. Brassicas are also tolerant of lower light levels; kale, sprouts, cauliflower, turnips and radish will stand shade for part of the day. Salad greens would also be worth a try. Looseleaved lettuce, radicchio and the oriental greens such as pak choi, mizuna, Osaka purple and green in snow can be harvested as needed for a quick and tasty salad.

Start your plants off in pots in a sunny spot to give them a good start and establish a good root system before planting out. Plant them a little further apart from the suggested planting distances to reduce competition from each other. Plants grown in shade will produce less than those in sun, but you will hopefully have some rewards for your efforts.

Q: how and when would be the best time to re-home my rhubarb plant which is currently growing where we plan to build a new kitchen extension? a: Rhubarb is a herbaceous perennial so it dies back at the end of the season and grows new shoots and leaves each year. The optimum time to move your plant would be in winter when the plant is dormant. Depending on how old it is you could also divide the crown before replanting, which will rejuvenate the plant and should be done every five or six years to keep it cropping well.

To divide the crown use a spade to split it into sections making sure each section has some root and at least one growing bud. Discard the older sections at the centre and replant sections from the outer part. It is worth putting the effort into preparing the soil well; dig over the soil making sure the area is completely free of perennial weeds and incorporate a generous amount of well-rotted manure. Add some slow-release fertiliser prior to planting to encourage a strong root system. Plant the crown at soil level and water in well to settle the soil around the roots.

If you need to move it during the growing season you will need to dig round your plant leaving as much of the root system intact as possible. Dig a suitable sized hole and move it to its new position. Keep it well watered through the growing months and then lift and divide at the dormant stage in winter.

If you have any questions about growing fruit & veg, please e-mail info@yourlocallink.co.uk

Ask Chris ...

Got a gardening question?

Chris Brown from BROWN’S NURSERIES can help Q. i’ve just spotted a few red beetles on my new lily plants – should i be worried?

A. I get asked about this pest a lot in the nursery. This insect will be visible from late March and does a lot of damage to lilies throughout the summer – hence, it is known as the lily beetle. The beetles are conspicuous – adults are bright red, and grow up to 8mm long, while larvae are reddish-yellow and hump backed, and covered in black slime. Lily beetles feed on leaves, stems and seed pods of lilies, and both adults and larvae feed voraciously from April onwards and cause considerable damage when conditions favour them. Madonna lilies are particularly susceptible. Adult beetles overwinter in soil and move up onto lilies and other host plants from late March onwards. Over several months, each female lays 200-300 eggs on leaves and stems, and larvae hatch about ten days after eggs are laid. The larvae then feed for about a month before going to the soil to spin silken cocoons in which they pupate. There is normally only one adult generation each year, but overwintering adults continue to emerge from the soil up until June, so adults, larvae and pupae may all be present

throughout late spring and summer. Keep a close watch on susceptible plants from April onwards, and remove and destroy any beetles, eggs or larvae that appear. If necessary, apply a contact insecticide as soon as beetles, eggs or larvae are seen in spring, and repeat if infestations persist.

Q. Can you please give me some advice on how best to feed plants in my garden?

A. My borders and planters lack colour in the summer, and my hanging baskets and containers need a little boost too.

All trees, shrubs, perennials, summer bedding plants, and hanging baskets need to be fed regularly to encourage new growth, healthy roots, and to be able to carry water and food effectively from the roots to the plant so that the plant can flower and produce fruit. Just like us, plants are living organisms – without food, we

would not grow, and plants are the same. If you feed them, they will not let you down, giving you beautiful colours and fruit, and adding structure to your garden. Nutrients that you need to look out for in your plant food include: • Nitrogen, which helps stems and leaves grow healthily • Phosphorous, which helps the root system carry the water and food from the soil into the stem, leaves, flowers and fruit • Potassium, which helps the flowers and fruit to thrive If you look on plant food packets, these chemicals are shown by the symbols N for nitrogen, P for phosphorous, and K for potassium. The numbers next to each of these letters tells you how many parts of each element are in the food mix. If you’re growing in baskets or containers, or growing fruiting plants, it is important to have a high potassium – or potash – content. You’ll find high potash levels in most tomato food. Remember too that plants like to be fed little and often – just like us!

Minster Vets Tracey Pulleyn of MINSTER VETS answers your pet questions Q. should i brush my dog’s

teeth? The brushing of a dog’s

teeth (and even cats’ teeth) has shown positive results over the years.

Unfortunately the choices of foods that we feed our pets may not be the best for dental health. However, if you are going to brush their teeth you ideally need to start when they are still a puppy and educate them that this is a way of life. Starting older dogs with a program of tooth brushing will take more time and perseverance.

In both situations you need to speak to your veterinary nurse or vet who will be able to advise you of the correct brush to use. I always start the process by introducing the toothpaste. Remember that human toothpaste is not designed for use on pets. It does not have the correct ingredients and as minty fresh as we would love their breath to be, they won’t thank you for it.

Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the tip of your index finger and show them what it is. Some dogs will happily lick this from your finger. The second stage would be to lift their lip

and then gently rub your finger over the teeth - one side at a time and do this for at least a week before you advance to a brush.

I like the finger brushes as they are very soft and you are less likely to bruise the gum. Apply the toothpaste on to the brush and try working from the gum line downwards to avoid brushing debris under the gum. But in the longer term, a proper brush is better once they are used to it.

You may need to revert back to just the finger a few times before your dog will be comfortable with the situation. If you find you are struggling, then speak to your vet or vet nurse who may be able to advise you of liquids that can be added to their drinking water to breakdown the enzymes in their mouth to freshen their breath, or there are various ranges of prescribed foods that can help with the removal of plaque from the teeth.

Perfect Ponds Conrad from Bradshaws Direct offers tips and advice on how to look after your pond and fish.

Ah, summer is here at last! With warmer weather comes warmer waters, so there are a few things we pond keepers need to consider...

First off, the health of your fish. The hotter it gets, the less oxygen pond water can hold. Sometimes you might see fish gathering at the bottom of a waterfall or fountain and literally ‘gasping’ at the surface. This can lead to fish deaths, so it’s wise to do something to improve oxygen levels straight away.

If you have a pump or a fountain, turn it on and don’t turn it off at night.

Oxygen levels are usually at their lowest just before dawn as plants will gobble up the oxygen overnight. The more splashing your pump creates the more oxygen it adds to the water. It might help to add a waterfall instead of just a pipe or change your fountain type for a more energetic one.

An air pump is the perfect solution. Mains, and even solar-powered ones are available, and they are pretty easy to install. The pump sits by your pond and a narrow hose goes into the water with a weighted air stone on the end. Air is pumped through the stone and it bubbles up through the water adding oxygen as it breaks the surface.

Ponds can also go green when there is more sunshine, and blanket weed tends to go crazy. You can remove the weed with a net or by twirling a cane in the water, throwing it on to the compost heap.

However, it is far easier to get a treatment to reduce the weed’s growth. Easy dose sachets are now available that make it simple, as you just throw one in your pond For advice call: each week over the summer.

Enjoy your pond and your summer!

YOUR FAMILY STORIES, ADVICE AND TIPS FOR ALL OF THE FAMILY

Heck of a commute SUMO’T WRONG WITH THIS

When your baby cries, you pick them up to give them a cuddle, right? Not so in Japan, where an ancient ritual sees crying tots being handed over to sumo wrestlers.

But before you gasp at the thought of a 30 stone wrestler bearing down on a tiny infant, both chucking salt over their shoulders, the big fellows actually just give them a bounce. Apparently it is considered good luck for a baby to be

held by a sumo wrestler while crying, as the sumos help the babies ‘cry out a wish’.

The bizarre ceremony, which differs from village to village, has gone on for centuries, with some places holding crying races to see which child will erupt into tears first.

We’re guessing that doesn’t take long as THEY’RE BEING HELD ALOFT BY GIANT FAT MEN IN NAPPIES! Japan - 0 Everyone else - 1.

As you can see from our recruitment pages and the job section of our website, we’re really keen to help you find the next step on your career ladder.

Parent hacks

So you’re getting away with the family on a well deserved summer break. There’s only one thing standing in your way - the dreaded journey. Whether it’s a flight, train or long car drive we’ve devised some cunning schemes to keep the kids happy en-route.

Get the kids involved beforehand.

Whether it’s suggesting they choose their own snacks for the journey or packing their own travel bags. A fun kit is a great idea – include things like a notepad, pens and some basic small toys. Letting the kids choose travel bags that they can carry themselves takes a little bit of strain off you whilst travelling too. We do recommend a quick vetting process before you set off on your travels though!

A: Split ends occur when the protective outer layer of the hair cuticle wears away because of external stressors, such as heat styling and chemical services.

Once the internal structure of the hair is exposed, it becomes weakened, dehydrated and damaged, causing split ends.

the Cure: You can condition, treat & protect the hair but there really is only one way to rid yourself of those rough ends... sniP sniP sniP: While a haircut is the only way to get rid of split ends, regular trims are your best protection against them. The longer you wait to trim, the greater chance you have of split ends worsening and traveling up the hair shaft.

It may sound counter-intuitive, but this is why it’s actually best to get frequent trims if you’re trying to grow long, glossy hair. Whatever your hair type or style, our experts recommend you get a trim at least every six to eight weeks. Even if it is literally 2 or 3 mm while the hair is growing. It will grow stronger, longer and healthier and less prone to splitting.

Did you know? The average speed of hair growth is about 1.25 centimetres or 0.5 inches per month, or about 15 centimetres or 6 inches per year.

Happy hair days!

Leaving on a jet plane?

Lisa Carlyle, Director of Kuki Hair and Beauty Spa, explains how to keep skin looking gorgeous while you’re travelling thousands of feet in the air.

Yippee, the sun is out – or it was at the time of writing this! So with this and summer getaways in mind, it’s time to think about holidays and beauty travel products.

Zero humidity, recycled air, chemicals galore and fluctuating temperatures – though holidays are relaxing for us, the flight to our dream destination can be torture for our skin. It’s not much fun for you, either – you’re strapped to your seat with your knees somewhere near your ears – but think about what the flight is doing to your skin: the unnatural pressurised environment of a plane sucks moisture out, leaving you dehydrated with cracked lips and hands that are super dry. The lack of moving space also means fluid retention in the ankles, stiff joints and puffy eyes and hands.

sky high skinCare In-flight skin care can make your journey much more enjoyable! Here are a few of my favourite products to use when I’m jetting away: • uLtraCaLming CLeanser: Tiny bathrooms and water need not apply!

Stay in your seat with this gel/cream cleanser that requires only a tissue for removal (and a little elbow room)

• dermaLogiCa toner: Choose your favourite mini-size Dermalogica Toner and stuff it in your purse or briefcase.

Spritz over skin for a little in-flight oasis that hydrates, refreshes and revives (careful not to mist your neighbour!)

• skin hydrating booster: This pint-sized product contains hyaluronic acid to help smooth fine lines and quench dry spots.

Use around the eyes to brighten up before landing • dermaLogiCa moisturiser: Your prescribed moisturiser will keep skin comfortable, but Barrier Repair will really help shield against the plane’s environment

hydrated hands, compliments of Pro-Vitamin B5 and antioxidant vitamins C and E • don’t Forget: A little water goes along way. Save the alcohol for your vacation destination, and opt instead for water in-flight The Dermalogica Skin Kits contain a full regimen of what your skin needs most, in convenient travel sizes, offering fantastic value from £23.75 and lasting approximately 30 days! It’s a great option if you’re a first-time Dermalogica user, and want to see the results before committing to full sizes. And, if you’re already hooked, these convenient travel sizes will offer professional skin care wherever you’re going on holiday.

• CLimate ControL LiP treatment: The therapeutic balm is practically created for temperature extremes experienced by travellers.

Swipe over the nostrils, lips, cheekbones, cuticles – any place where skin is thinner or more prone to dehydration • muLtivitamin hand and naiL treatment: It’s gloves in a tube! Apply before, during and after your flight for smooth,

ASK THE EXPERT Beauty expert, Dr Saleena Zimri from Skin Doctor, is back to answer all of your beauty dilemmas! This month, she explains how to achieve a facelift effect without surgery.

As we grow older, our skin eventually begins to sag and wrinkles form, no matter how wholesome our diet is or how much water we drink. A facelift can help to improve the confidence we have in ourselves and the way we look, but it’s not always the best option for everyone.

If you’re looking for a procedure that doesn’t involve going under the knife, and particularly if this is your first cosmetic treatment, then Sillhouette Soft is a great option. This unique, minimally invasive thread lift procedure uses absorbable cone threads to anchor the skin.

F

is it saFe? Yes. Silhouette Soft components are natural and fully absorbable. Polylactic acid, or PLA, has been used for many years in various pharmaceutical and medical applications, such as suture thread, orthopaedic pins, screws and nails for bone fractures. It is also used in new biodegradable stent trials.

hoW Long does it take?

There’s no need for a hospital stay, no general anaesthetic, and you can resume normal activities straight away. Silhouette Soft produces natural looking results with a redefined face, restored volume and reduced wrinkles in just a 30-minute treatment by your doctor!

WhiCh areas Can siLhouette soFt treat?

Silhouette Soft can be used to treat various parts of the face: • Contour • Lower jaw • Cheeks and cheekbones • Eyebrows • Neck

DO YOU HAVE

hoW does it Work?

hoW Long does it Last and Who is it reCommended For?

ACHES & PAINS?

Sillhouette Soft works in two ways: • It offers a discreet and immediate lifting effect.

As soon as the suture is applied, the doctor reshapes the treated area by means of compressing and elevating the tissue.

• It offers a gradual and natural regenerating effect. In being absorbed, polylactic acid restores shapeliness to the face.

Silhouette Soft is recommended for men and women of 30 and over who are trying to effectively combat the signs of ageing, such as loose and wrinkled skin, and do not want any heavy and invasive treatment, but are looking for real and natural results. The results will last up to two years.

The key to better health for your body could be right under your...feet

Hungry?

Of course you are. Fortunately you live in a city filled to the pot brim with many different eateries, restaurants, cafes and bars. Obviously one wee page in a magazine is not big enough to demonstrate just how varied and magnificent York’s culinary menu is... that’s why we’ve put it all online.

Get you and your grumbling stomach over to www.yourlocallink.co.uk and hit the big and beautiful Food & Drink button. There you’ll find details of the very finest establishments to eat in the city - be they posh sit-in restaurants, or quick take-aways delivered to your door by a bloke called Chris in a Vauxhall Astra. Whatever your tastes, you’ll find something on our website.
