YORK LIFE

Ceilings be damned! Tonight, as you lay in bed (assuming you’re at home and not camping), be sure to take a good long look at your ceiling. That is because you won’t be seeing much of it this month, as July in York promises to be the most outdoors-y month we’ve had in ages. Look, we’re as realistic as you; we too live on the British Isles and know all too well the fickle nature of our weather. Sure, it might rain bucketloads this month in typical British Summer fashion, but at least we’ll all be outside and not freezing. Also, there is a tonne of great things to see and do. Betting on warm Gulf Stream breezes, and lingering romantic sunsets, the organisers of the first York Proms concert welcome one

and all to the Museum Gardens on 9th July for an evening of rousing athems, while Castle Howard are screening a live outside broadcast of La Traviata on the 4th. Ooo, get them. If those two examples of ceilingless fun sound a tad too high-brow, fret not you crazy cat. How about letting your hair down and swinging it vigorously around at the Atlas Festival at Scampston Hall, 29th-20th? Nobody will shush you there if you scream and shout “I &%$£ing love you!” at the stage. Whatever you get up to, keep us handy. You can also use us as both a fan and, rolled up, a weapon against mosquitoes. No, thank YOU.

A day spent at The National Railway Museum is always one well spent, but hold on... it gets better. That is because on 9th July the worldrenowned attraction will host A Day at the Museum; a whole day filled with excitement and discovery themed around science.

Sorry to sound corny (tee hee), but we’ve really missed York Maze. Fortunately the giant maize maze just outside of Elvington is back once more and has but a single message for you all: GET LOST! As well as the huge corn maze, there will be the usual fun and games of all shapes and sizes from 15th July, with water wars, tractor rides, a-maze-ing attractions, and corn-fusing fun houses. But what will the maze depict this year? The secret will be unveiled before the grand opening! Visit www.yorkmaze.com

and life in general AS SEEN BY RACHEL RAGG

The bus driver scowls. “You can’t use that bus pass before 9 o’clock”, he declares. Really? I ask. I thought you could use disability passes at any time. “Well, yer can’t. And anyway, you need a doctor’s letter to prove it. How’m I to know that it’s not a Pensioner’s Pass?” I gently point out that I don’t really look as if I’m over 60. To no avail. “I’m not discussing it. You can’t use it, and that’s that.” I retreat, chastened. Why did he have to be quite so unpleasant? But then realisation dawned: he was evidently a graduate of the York School of Charm.

“

HE WAS EVIDENTLY A GRADUATE OF THE YORK SCHOOL OF CHARM

“

This delightful institution has been churning out alumnae since it was founded (probably in 627 AD,

along with the Minster). Early graduates presumably included Dick Turpin, Guy Fawkes, the Vikings and Richard III . And it’s still going strong. The current Vice Chancellor is undoubtedly Steve Bloom, the second-hand bookshop owner from Hawes who called one of his potential customers a “pain in the arse”. Though he did at least admit that he is “not a people person”, which is more than some of his pupils manage. Senate House? The delightful Stonebow House, naturally.

Alumnae are to be found scattered all over the city. Take the Electrical Repairs Man, who failed to repair my domestic appliance last week for the sum of £70. When I returned it on the grounds that it was no better than when it went in for repair, his reply was straight from the School of Charm’s prescribed textbook: “Well, I can’t find owt wrong with it, so you can take it away again.” Give the man a First Class B. Sc. Ch. (Hons). Of course, First Class degrees are relatively rare.

Just as at York Scho of swotty chosen s over the Minster B on to the mentione during a want to k to “go aw appointm Still, she between evidently

last it on n it went School n’t find again.” s). rare.

Just as at any university, though, the York School of Charm has its share of swotty students who excel at their chosen subject. We shall draw a veil over the People Who Sacked The Minster Bellringers, and move swiftly on to the GP who told me when I mentioned a second minor ailment during a consultation that she “didn’t want to know” and that I needed to “go away and book a second appointment”. I did, but not with her. Still, she did illustrate the difference between the receptionist (who evidently only achieved a low 2:2,

as she merely gave me the evil eye and offered me an appointment in about 2019) and a truly high achiever (herself). Needless to say...

YORK LIFE

Most School of Charm graduates are somewhere in the “middling second class” category. A particularly memorable one from some years ago was the children’s sweetshop owner who evidently disliked children. Then there were the ladies in the suburban charity shop, who watched me struggling to cart boxes of books in for them to sell, then told me off for not using the rear entrance. Oh, and the man who yelled “s**t driver” at me when I turned off the main road into my own driveway. Not to mention that one on the mobility scooter who speeds down the pavements, and who shouted at me for wheeling my “bloody bicycle” across a pedestrian crossing. Nice try, all of you, but in the words of everybody’s school report: could do better.

Graduates of the School of Charm don’t necessarily stay in York. No: they go further afield to spread their skills around the country. The Leeds bus driver who took one look at my then toddlers and said: “You can’t bring those on my bus” was evidently a graduate. As was the London Underground employee who said: “You’ve got legs, haven’t you?” when I asked her how to get from King’s Cross to Lancaster Gate when the Tube wasn’t working. Not to mention the Derbyshire GP who told my mother she probably had cancer (she didn’t). Oh, how depressing, you might think. But hang on a moment. The York School of Charm may have spawned grumpy bus drivers. But it also spawned Rod Liddle (well, he grew up in Nunthorpe in Middlesbrough, which is almost York). And where would we be without him and his description of George Monbiot as a “puffed-up and half-cut Luxembourgish boll weevil”? Give the man an honorary Doctorate, I say.

OF COURSE YOU HAVE.

Opening 24th April 2017 Lucky Daphne’s got all the answers. Write to her care of Your Local Link and she’ll soon sort you out.

NEW STORE

Dear Daphne, I had to drag my drunk friend away from a girl he had been snogging on our lads holiday last week. I’m really good friends with his girlfriend and have been friends with her well before I met him. The lad has asked me not to tell his mrs what he's done, which I agreed not to, but the guilt is eating me up. I know that she would tell me and would be upset if she found out I knew and didn't tell her. What should I do? Anon

CHEATING FRIEND

There are secrets in this world that are worth baring the weight of. This isn't one of them. It’s put you in a compromising position when you’ve done nothing wrong. Your friend needs to own up to what he has done. If he admits he had a drunken snog on a lads holiday to his partner, there’s a good chance they can work through it together. If it comes from someone else and he tries to lie his way out of it, things will be much more difficult for him. I would pitch it to him, explain what a terrible situation he has put you in, and ask him to take it on the chin. You don't want to get involved in this mess, but at the same time you can try and encourage your lad friend to do the right thing. After all, he must know he's done wrong or he wouldn't be asking you to cover for him in the first place.

Hey Daph, I know you can't choose who you work with, but I'm at the end of my tether with a work colleague. He is fairly good at his job, hence why he gets away with being rude to other members of staff. He maintains the belief that his job is the most vital in the company, and has insinuated that our department is much less important. It has made me resent doing anything that he asks of me. I'm in a frustrating position where I can't really say what I think, despite getting more wound up. Any good ideas on how to get my own back? J, Clifton

RUDE COLLEAGUE

Getting wound up at someone’s arrogance is a waste of your time, effort and expertise. Just because this bloke thinks he’s better than everyone else, it doesn't actually mean that he is. If he keeps on making derogatory digs, keep a record of them. Don't take him on, it will only look bad on you both. Once there’s enough evidence of his bad behaviour, hand it over to your management - he's a problem for them to deal with - not you. A little bit of light hearted goading never went a miss though - more to go on the record when he bites back.

Usually, these hard-to-organise-friends-holidays do pay off and everyone has a great time (eventually). So I would recommend that you stick it out, but take a step back and stop putting forward ideas - let someone else take the brunt for a change. It’s not your responsibility to organise the whole thing and it feels like you’re taking the put down’s personally? If nothing comes of the organising, go on a smaller group holiday with the more agreeable folk in the group and have a great time doing all of your collectively fabulous ideas - that will teach the naysayers.

Got a problem?

Dear Daphne, our friends just can't agree on a group holiday this year for love nor money. No matter what I, or anyone else puts forward, someone in the group has a negative response about why it shouldn't happen. I’m tired of putting forward ideas only to get shot down, and get no further along in the planning holiday department. We’re getting nowhere fast and we need an action plan. B, Poppleton

I live to eat, and it sounds like you do too. So when you meet someone who is perfect in every way apart from, you know, the fundamental activity that you would probably do together for the rest of your lives, every. single. day. I can see why you would be freaking out. What’s more, there’s a piece of advice rattling round nowadays, about how someone treats a waiter in a restaurant gives away a lot about their personality. Being rude to waiters is not ok. It’s arrogant and poor taste. You can complain without being rude. This needs addressing, if you see him being rude again, call him out on it - he needs to realise it’s not ok. Fussy easters are hard to change, and realistically it’s something you're going to need to get used to if you really like this bloke. Why not suggest a night a week when you cook what you like and he tries it? It might broaden his horizons a little and you get to eat some of the food you love. Keep an emergency frozen pizza in the fridge at all times though, just in case.

Daphne, I've recently started seeing a bloke who is an incredibly fussy eater. When I first met him I was swept off my feet, and didn't think I would mind the fact that he would only eat certain stuff. Fast forward a few months and I’m going crackers. I can hardly cook the things that I like anymore without doing him something separately. Going out for dinner is a trauma within itself and he often complains rudely to staff which I find incredibly embarrassing. I never thought that food would be a deal breaker but I can't see this getting any better. Food problems aside, I really like him. What should I do? Anon

HERE ARE A FEW FA M O U S FAC E S YO U S H A R E YO U R S I G N W I T H. . .

22ND JUN - 22ND JUL

Some disappointment during the first few days when you hear something that you really don’t want to hear. The disappointment transmutes to anger and there should be some heated words (phones, emails and face to face) around the 11th and 12th, and then again on the 19th and 20th. Some business issues will be resolved by the 23rd, but family matters cause a degree of ongoing concern right the way through until the end of the month.

LEO 23RD JUL - 23RD AUG Some long desired ambition either falls into place or becomes a significant step closer. You’ll be in an up-beat and optimistic mood which will heighten the pleasure of all social aspects and should open the doors for romantic and sexual opportunity. Don’t try making too many hard and fast plans – rather go with the flow and enjoy what fate brings your way. Anything to do with education augers well.

VIRGO 24TH AUG - 22ND SEP Ladies of the sign, especially those

with a bit of gumption and ambition, should have a very successful month with some specific opportunity falling into place during the third week. Gentlemen of the sign are likely to be distracted by romantic possibilities and the pursuit of greater emotional stability. The 1st to the 7th sees the opening of new doorways.

LIBRA 23RD SEP - 23RD OCT Good news on the work scene during the first week, leading to subtle, but important, changes of work routines before month’s end. An encouraging

Other peoples’ behaviour and attitudes will put you in a confrontational mood, but perhaps this is no bad thing if it brings a few things to a head and clears the air. During the last few days of the month you’ll feel a lot calmer, but only because you’ve said “sod it” and have decided to let someone else stew in their own juice.

time cash-wise, but not for parents who insist on spoiling their children. Also, this is not a good time to lend any money or put your money into dubious investments. The sock under the bed has much to commend it!

SCORPIO 24TH OCT - 22ND NOV Some healing energies in domestic and romantic affairs comes into place around the 15th or 16th but there will be some tense moments in the early half of the month caused by intransigence and a lack of communication. However, by the

CAPRICORN 22ND DEC - 20TH JAN

Beneath the surface of everyday life there will be a running thrum of tension: it is almost as though you are waiting for something to go wrong. Tread carefully, practise some patience, and try not to be excessively critical. Special journeys around the mid-end of the month bring happy reunions and a sparkle of social activity.

“Births, deaths and marriages” is an expression which comes to mind as you trawl through the dog days of July. It is a time when new thoughts and ideas must be given precedence over the old, and a fresh mood of confidence and determination pushes you along your pathway. A very busy period on the work scene, and not much spare time at home.

AQUARIUS 21ST JAN - 18TH FEB You will be in a powerful position to bring some love and comfort to someone who is going through an emotional crisis. Like it or not, the role of “leader” is incumbent upon you, and you’ll have to make a few decisions which affect other people as much as yourself. Not much free time and not much energy to enjoy it even if you had it!

PISCES 19TH FEB - 18TH MAR Rather a bright month, with some added sparkle in your love life and also in all social affairs. You will be much in demand, and there will be conflicting invitations to be in two places at once. On this one, follow your heart, even if it means saying no to your boss when he invites you to the company party. Happy crowds are nice, but quiet

ARIES 19TH MAR - 18TH FEB

TAURUS 21ST APR - 21ST MAY Despite the fact that there is loads of support from a lover or partner, you’ll feel hemmed in and claustrophobic. There are things you want to do, but you know you can’t do everything! Indeed, there is a part of you that doesn’t want to do anything, so there is a degree of inner conflict. You could do worse than get some more exercise and mind your diet.

GEMINI 22ND MAY - 21ST JUN A warm and progressive month for love affairs, especially for mature souls or people in their middle years. This is a month for making promises and commitments and for acquiring a deeper degree of emotional security. The 11th and the 22nd are both dates on which you will have to say yes or advertori l no – and you really shouldasay yes!

THE WEST END AWAITS If we told you there was a club you could join that one day might lead to you performing in a West End theatre, we’re guessing that the dramatically-inclined amongst you would leap at it, right? Well, for the students of the Pauline Quirke Academy, that dream became reality last month, when the stage school put on the musical comedy The Lazy Ace at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London. The run of the show was massively successful, and now the school is back in action in York, hoping to snag a few new pupils. Open to wannabe stars aged four to 18, and meeting at Huntington School, the academy is staffed by industry professionals and could lead to a very bright career in performing (or at least a tonne of fun!). n Find out more at www.pqacademy.com

YORK LIFE Join us as we journey back in time. No pushing. THIS MONTH: BISHOPTHORPE

visitors st This might be hard for the artisan beard and artichoke oil lovers amongst you to believe, but your beloved Bishopthorpe Road actually goes all the way to a real place called Bishopthorpe. Shocker, right? A fascinating village, we delved into the history of a place transformed by one bloke with a big hat.

A SUPER PLACE To look into the history of Bishopthorpe you have to start in a different place. Mentioned in the Domesday Book was the village of

Badetorps, a small hamlet of houses and farms situated between the River Ouse and Ermine Street, the main Roman road into York. This humble collection of buildings would one day become our Bishopthorpe, but it first required a few new owners. Following the Norman Conquest, when the entire country was split up and given to different lords and religious houses, this particular spot of land fell into the hands of the monks of St Andrews', a priory which once dominated Fishergate. When they got there, and started construction on the village's first church, the place had already undergone a post-Norman name change to the rather fancy Thorp-

super-Usam; literally 'Thorp above the Ouse'. The monks seemed not too keen on this name, as from 1202 they changed it to Thorpe St Andrew. Boo.

GREY TIMES AHEAD But even that name wasn't to last. In 1226 the Archbishop of York, Walter de Grey (you can see his tomb in the South Transept of York Minster), bought the village's manor house, which had previously been owned by the influential abbot of Kirkstall Abbey. By the 1240s much of the old house had been replaced by an impressive new manor, right on the banks of the Ouse. This was the beginnings of the palace that continues to dominate the village today, and Walter wisely donated it to the Dean and Chapter of York, so future Archbishops would always have a place to live â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one the monarch couldn't pinch.

This association with the Archbishop and York Minster quickly had an effect on the village, and by 1275 it was renamed Bishopthorpe (or 'Biscupthorpe' as it was first recorded). From this point on the village became very much about their most notable resident, growing larger and prosperous by association.

STUFF HAPPENED The most notable points in Bishopthorpe's history from then on revolved around Bishopthorpe Palace. Successive Archbishops added to the building, such as in 1480 when Archbishop Rotherham added the north wing, and again in 1761 when Archbishop Drummond employed architect John Carr to 'spruce up' his new gaff a bit, adding the Gothic stable and gatehouse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; through which

Harcourt offered no support following the announcement of the Reform Bill. And you thought that time you dropped your pint at The Marcia Inn was dramatic.

THE FINAL FRONTIER

visitors still pass today. But due to the proximity of the Archbishop's house, and because that position has always been deeply embedded in the establishment of England, Bishopthorpe has attracted its fair share of historical drama. The village was the site of a great truce in 1323 agreed between Edward II and Robert the Bruce after the Scottish army had invaded Yorkshire and was threatening York. In 1405 Archbishop Scrope was accused of being a traitor to Henry VI and promptly had his head chopped off nearby. Also, in 1832, angry mobs from York tried to invade the palace after Archbishop

Today you can access the village via the aforementioned Bishopthorpe Road, a number of other smaller roads, and also the Trans Pennine Trail cycle route. What was originally the main line of the North Eastern Railway, built in 1871 and running from York to still existing lines close to Selby, is now a long and fairly straight cycle trail perfect for adventures and explorations. There is even a scale model of the solar system along the seven mile route, with the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all located on the western edge of the village. Cycle it, it's lots of fun. So the fact that this place had four different names in less than 200 years suggests that quite a bit has changed during Bishopthorpe's life. However, today it is still jolly pleasant, filled with fascinating quirks, and kept in the news thanks to it's most famous resident. His name is Kevin and he makes his own fireworks. LOL!

#GENERATIONVOTE

WHO: Half Soldier for Irie Vibes WHERE: The Crescent WHEN: 8th July 2017 INFO: The Crescent’s own Half Soldier is doing a 12 hour set in support of the children of Marcin and Angelika Klis, the York couple who lost their lives in the Manchester bombing. Donations will be taken on the door. Styles will change throughout the day with a mix of Jamaican R&B, ska, dub and early reggae. The day will start at 12.30pm and go through to 12.30am (9th June).

Two million 18-34 year olds registered to vote in this general election. Two million. I’ll get into the nitty gritty Corbynite chatter later. But right now, I’m just feeling dead chuffed that we’re all getting into politics. Smack bang in the middle of this new wave of voters is my own generation: The Millennials. We’ve had a pretty bad press, labelled as narcissistic and phone obsessed, but our better qualities, including a familiarity with online communications and a more liberal approach to politics, could’ve been some of the major factors in this election’s results. Regardless of where you sit on the political spectrum, My Corbyn inspired many voters. Turnout overall was up, and turnout among the young, was up big-style. It might have been to vote against him, might have been for him

- but hey, more of us voted. Interestingly, class is no longer the main divider in politics either, it’s age. The young campaigned for Labour online like never before. Meme’s of Jeremy Corbyn, videos of people chanting his name at gigs and plenty of illustrations in his favour saturated my news feeds. The manifesto proved popular, but not as popular as the man himself by the end of it. I loved his sincerity, his ideals and his boyish charm.

“A NEW BATCH OF VOTERS HAVE CLEARED THEIR THROATS” Popularity contests aside: each generation faces new challenges. The term, Generation Rent, springs to mind. There are predictions that first

time buyers would need to be earning £64,000 a year to own a home by 2020 - HAHA as if! My generation saw uni fee’s double, the NHS struggle and our membership of the EU go south. Seven years of austerity aka our whole young adulthood so far, has been tough and we’re getting sick of it. To put it into perspective, according to the most recent Lord Ashcroft poll: 67% of 18-24 year olds and 58% of 25-34 year olds voted labour. In the last few general elections youth turnout was only around 40%. Sky News reported that 66.4% of 18-24 year olds voted this time round. A new batch of voters have cleared their throats, meaning successfull manifestos of the future will need to consider them, in order to win. But why stop there? I’d love to see public affairs and politics taught in all

schools across the UK, young people should be able to come out of school able to understand political issues, bringing a higher votes turnout, and a truly representative parliament. This election should just be the beginning. We’ve still got distance to

cover in terms of turnout at the polling stations and I think education could go a long way towards helping that. But I’m glad that young people are coming round to being interested in politics of their own accord; after all, it affects every single one of us.

This month’s treasure hunt takes in something you’ve probably used in the past, but perhaps never traversed the whole length of. The cycle path that runs from the Rowntree factory off Wigginton Road all the way to Oswaldwick was once a railway line (which we’ve written about before). Jump on your bike or strap on some sturdy shoes. Lets do the lot!

MARKETING ONE-TO-ONE by John Allsopp “Focus unswervingly on the customer” Jesse Hertzberg, Former COO at Squarespace As well as being a marketer, I’m an amateur drummer and I’ve joined a leading online drumming resource. Despite having a first class degree in computing, I couldn’t make their videos display properly. I drum in the cellar so I need to use my mobile phone to play the videos. On the standard browser, the video didn’t play at all. Then in a different browser if I showed the video in landscape (so it was big enough to see), page furniture covered the video and when the video showed the musical notes I was supposed to be playing, if I paused the video, the ‘play’ triangle obscured the music. I read the British Psychological Society’s magazine, signed up for their newsletter to be emailed to me in plain text and it arrived like a Scrabble that had falled off a shelf. Their response to me? “Use the HTML version.”

By contrast Octopus Energy is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Simple. Endearing. As easy as can be. Go search for them and change providers, they are awesome. So this is about usability. It’s an awful word, but it’s often the difference between success and failure. A quick and affordable usability test on a website can reveal amazing insights. Can your website be used by a commuter? Want more evidence? Apple. It won, over the boring PC. Value $550bn. Usability is valuable. Usability testing could be your secret weapon precisely because not many people do it. If you are usable and others are not, more customers will stay with you and recommend you. When Google sends prospects from their search results to your website, if they don’t stay long, Google notices. It then sends fewer people to your website because clearly the last lot were not happy with what they found; Google is in the business

of finding good answers to people’s search queries. The thing is, we are too close to our own businesses. It takes a real end-user to see the wood for the trees. It’s also worth noting that this secret weapon is only available to you if you are open. If you already know all the answers, this won’t work for you. But I combine it with A/B testing, so we see the problem and test a fix. If it makes more money, it wins. (It doesn’t matter what either of us ‘experts’ think :-) .) Now, I said that usability testing is affordable and it really is, so I’m just going to make you an offer right here and now. Once you have our usability report about your website, you’ll be able to see very clearly how to raise your website from me-too to oh-wow!

of action for you so you can make your website really sing for your customers and raise your online sales, enquiries and word of mouth recommendations. The price? £199. Drop me an email at john@ johnallsopp.co.uk and give me your website address. Could usability be your secret weapon? John Allsopp is a web developer at websitesthat.co.uk and freelance digital marketer at surgemarketing. co.uk. Find out what’s in the head of your perfect prospects at twittergrowbot.com. If you would like marketing help or advice, get in touch: john@johnallsopp.co.uk / 01723 376477

A usability test involves experienced testers using your website as endusers and reporting their experiences, problems and feelings. I’ll run those tests, then collate the results into a custom, personal report and plan

1 MOVING OUT OF THE SPARE BEDROOM

Pay us a visit today and you'll have to come to our offices in Haxby. They're nice; there's parking and everything. However, YLL had far more humble beginnings, starting as it did in Tracy's spare bedroom. We enjoy greater elbow room these days. 2

CHATTING TO BIG NAMES

We like to squeeze in some celebrity interviews when we can, and over the years we've spoken to the likes of Lulu, Brian Blessed, Rory Bremner, Marti Pellow, Ken Dodd, one half of Little & Large, Mrs Doyle from Father Ted, and Ben Kingsley ('s son). Alright, some were bigger than others. 3

EMPIRE BUILDING

Once YLL took off we set our sights further afield. As well as this fine magazine we went on to publish the What's On guide in York, and also two issues of Best Pages magazine in the East Riding.

GIRL DONE GOOD

Remember Donna? We used to print a monthly column from writer Donna Hay, who, a couple of years ago, left to concentrate on writing books. Now she's a pretty big deal in the author world and we're very selfishly going to assume it was because she worked here. 5

IN TRAINING

YLL is massively behind apprenticeships, and our commitment saw some big recognition after Hannah, our design apprentice, and Krystal, our editorial apprentice, were both shortlisted for the York Apprentice of the Year last year. 6

If you still have a huge collection of cassette tapes stashed in a shoe box in your walk-in wardrobe, but have had difficulty finding a modern device to play them on, get yourself an Elbow. This tiny device attaches onto a traditional tape, then lets you listen to it via a pair of headphones. It’s like that old Walkman you had, but stripped down and actually lets you look at the cassette itself. A pocketfriendly gadget that lets you listen to you favourite music?

No, not a headline from the 10th century, but rather some fantastic business news from one of the city’s best loved attractions. Reports indicate that, since reopening in April, The Jorvik Viking Centre hosted a lot more visitors than they had expected, who were all keen to see the refurbished and modernised museum. It wasn’t just the Vikings that enjoyed high visitor numbers either, as the other attractions in the Jorvik Group - DIG, Barley Hall, and both the Richard III and Henry VII Experiences - also did well. It seems tourism in general was up in the first part of the year across the city, so here’s hoping for a busy summer! n Find out more (and book your pass for all five museums) at www.thejorvikgroup.com

Taxi company York Cars would like to express enormous gratitude and thanks to the whole community. After starting to raise funds for the Klis children, who tragically lost both their parents in the Manchester bombing, schools, pubs, churches, and other taxi companies came together to donate £8000. Add to that the £6108 that York Cars have accepted so far from members of the public, drivers, and staff, and we think we can all agree on a job well done. As a thank you, the next 100 people to download and book via their app will get £5 off their journey. n To find out more (and to keep donating) visit www.yorkcars-taxis.co.uk

SPORT REPORT Each month Dan delivers his thoughts on local, national, and international sporting clashes. Pray silence.

with Dan Tait After back to back relegations for York City, I was beginning to think of giving up on watching football. I also have a soft spot for Middlesbrough too, so was feeling like my support was like the relegation kiss of death. However, another York City Wembley win, this time a dramatic late win over Macclesfield in the FA Trophy Final, whetted the appetite for the new campaign. However, at time of writing, there doesn’t seem to be many putting pen to paper for the Minstermen and it looks like Jon

For those who harbour for those former glory years for York City, a past players event is taking place on Wednesday 26th July at Pike Hills Golf Club. Teams of four will compete in aid of York

Parkin will be leading a half decent 5-a-side team. Meanwhile the likes of financially backed Salford City (who I hope/presume will be close rivals for promotion) have pushed ahead with seven new players when they only narrowly missed out on going up in May. I cannot say I am a big fan of preseason friendlies given the uncompetitive nature, and what feels like a substitution every time there is a throw in, but for those who can’t keep away from Bootham Crescent can see what they hope

will be Gary Mills building on the Wembley success with warm up fixtures against Scunthorpe United (Wednesday, July 12th), former Premier League Champions Blackburn Rovers (Tuesday 18th) and Notts County (Saturday 29th).

Against Cancer, a charity which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Tee times are gradually filling up and entry forms are steadily coming in, which can see teams request ex York City players to play in their sides. Players include club legends such as Dale Banton, Andy McMillan, Scott Kerr and Derek Hood, and those who fancy filling the limited places left should contact organiser Graham Bradbury for more information on 07790 470589.

Without a World Cup or Euros to look forward to (then get disappointed with) the only international football to endure has been the recent EnglandScotland game at Hampden Park. Of course, Scotland thought they had won the game thanks to two absolute worldy free-kicks leading to someone tweeting “Leigh Griffiths just did the impossible… he just made an England game exciting”, though not everyone was as enthusiastic with one person disagreeing with the ITV Commentator, saying viewers had just witnessed a classic, responding “Scarface is a classic, this was more like Cloverfield”.

Of course whilst local football has given us testing times recently, in cricket Yorkshire CCC are probably the strongest they have ever been in my lifetime. Last season might have resulted in a final day Championship defeat after two glorious consecutive title wins, but this campaign has begun reasonably strong and last week I saw the roses match which saw Yorkshire win to edge closer to the summit. It wasn’t without its moments, as an out-of-form Adam Lyth slowly ground out a century which included what felt like two hours in the ‘nervous nighties’, only to eventually get the elusive run to bring him sheer relief, raising his bat to all sides of the ground. “Watch him smash Lancs around the ground now that monkey

is off his back” I stated…only for him to get out the very next ball! One of July’s sporting highlights is the next instalment of Professional Boxing in the city, when “The Next Chapter” takes place at Energise Sports Centre on Saturday 8th July. After March’s epic “Revival of the Jorvik City” at the same venue, and the vast majority of the same local fighters on the bill, it promises to be another cracking night of entertainment. Danny Holmes tops the night with a title clash against the experienced Andy Harris for the British challenge belt over eight, three minute rounds.

YOUR GADGETS MUST’VE BEEN A CELTIC SAT-NAV Here in York, we’re no strangers to lorries and vans occasionally bumping into, or getting stuck under, the many archways and gates of our ancient city walls. However, as old and as impressive as they are, the city’s fortifications only date back to the 13th century or so... unlike the Newport Arch in Lincoln which was built around 200CE. Local residents got a bit of a shock recently when a lorry became wedged under the Roman archway, which is the oldest still-used Roman arch in the country. And the reason for the driver’s mistake? He was following the instructions of his Sat-Nav which said it was fine for him to drive through. Fortunately the archway was undamaged (barring a few scratches) but Police on the scene had to let air out of the lorry’s tyres to get it out. You just can’t trust these anti-Roman Sat-Navs, can you?

Breakdown experts the RAC have released data showing that, between January and March of this year, they were called out to more than 6500 incidents involving potholes. It seems potholes continue to be a major problem on British roads, and despite local councils across the country repairing one every 19 seconds (!) they are still a huge cause of car malfunctions. Broken suspension, flat tyres, distorted wheels and even cracked body parts can all be the result of hitting a pothole at speed, so that

‘little dent’ in the road is no laughing matter at all. The RAC also offered some good advice (apart from calling them – surprise, surprise) in the event of pothole damage, which is handy to keep in mind and could result in the council that maintains that road forking out for the repair job: • Take photos on your phone of the offending pothole, where it is on the road, and also the depth (use a ruler, tape measure, or even something like a coin or banknote to get an accurate representation). • Take photos of the damage caused to your car immediately after the incident, and also of any recovery vehicles that might have to come to pick you up. Keep all invoices or receipts from that. • Get quotes for the repair work from several garages, then present all your evidences to the council in question. They assess cases such as this to see if they were liable. With any luck, they should pay.

Bentley achieve a new level of ridiculous We’ve written before about the Bentley Bentayga; mentioning that the car’s first ever owner was to be the Queen, and again to detail the re-modelled version of the off-road vehicle designed specifically for fly-fishers. This month we introduce you to the Bentley Bentayga Falconry, a car that caters for the hugely popular sport of falconry. You know, flying birds around and that. The car is kitted out with everything you need to take your falcon for a fly, including comfortable bird storage and even a little statue of a falcon. Which we hope doesn’t make your actual falcon jealous. We’re just glad that this oft-

neglected group of people are finally getting the vehicle they deserve, as we’re sick of cramming our falcons into a Mini. The price of the Bentley Benyayga Falconry might be above £100,000, but that is nothing when considering the comfort of your birds. Next we’re hoping for the Bentayga Unicorn; a car designed for those of us who enjoy hunting unicorns at the weekend.

HOT STUFF!

WALL COVERINGS We hear from Mel Collier of JDL...

With a bit of luck by the time you read this the full force of the great British Summer will be upon us and people all over the region will be rushing to the coast to enjoy some of Yorkshire’s finest scenery. Believe it or not, every year I get a call in the run up to summer from various wholesalers who, more or less to a man, predict “a heat wave” or “the hottest summer on record” in a bid to sell more fans, air-conditioning or refrigeration products to their retailers. It may seem obvious but the weather has a huge part to play in the pattern of sales any time the seasons change as the heat can play havoc with your fridges and freezers. The extra work load placed on refrigeration products by a hot spell can be severe depending on the ambient temperature around the appliance.

FROSTY If the worst happens and your fridge freezer stops working, there are some things you can try before heading out to buy a new one - especially if your product is frost free. As strange as it

I think we all would agree that the finishing touches to a bathroom are the most important. Sometimes it takes our clients longer to decide on wall coverings than it does on an actual bathroom suite!

sounds these frost free designs can still get a build-up of ice that the machine itself cannot shift. In which case it might behave as though it’s breaking down by no longer getting down to temperature properly. In this situation try completely defrosting it by turning it off for around 24 hours or until all the visible ice has defrosted as this often gets the machine back up and running. If you are unsure about this and your refrigeration product is misbehaving, please give us a call and we will do our best to assist. We offer free local same day delivery if your freezer goes off and you are in danger of losing your valuable frozen food. In any event, enjoy the summer sunshine while it lasts! n Visit www.htodd.co.uk

In previous years, bathroom walls have been painted, wall papered and stencilled, and at some point in our lives, we have all had the Johnson ‘Bird’ Tile in varying colours, but as with everything in life, wall coverings have moved on. Here at JDL we see an increasing number of people opting for wall panelling over and above traditional tiling - but which is best?

PANEL SHOW The wall panelling comes in set sizes, but can be cut down to size quite easily. Most of the time, it’s quicker to

install than tiles and leaves you with a completely smooth finish, which means no more grouting to clean and a completely water tight end product. On the other hand, tiles offer the luxurious feel we all crave for. The colours and patterns are infinite and the way you can use tiles is only as limited as your imagination. You can play with different coloured grout to make the tiles ‘pop’ and tiles are made out of many different materials giving a different feeling whichever one you use. Here at JDL we fit both, and in many bathrooms a combination; with panelling in a shower area and tiling to the rest of the walls which can look really effective. After 26 years in this industry, my personal advice is go for the option which you prefer, but don’t leave it unfinished. Many people go to the extent of having a beautiful new bathroom fitted and then embark on the decorating themselves. We all know life gets in the way and you would rather spend time with your family than trapped in a bathroom decorating, so why not let the professionals do it? n 01904 608350.

Raid the attic!

Two questions: first, is there a chance you have a priceless family heirloom stashed away in the loft, and second; would you like to appear on national TV?

Prepare your best 'OHMYGODHOWMUCH?!?' face. n To find out more about the day, visit www.castlehoward.co.uk

ADDED ELEGANCE Think of Howarth Timber and Building Supplies on Leeman Road and your mind might immediately drift to thoughts of huge chunks of wood, nails, screws, nuts and bolts, and loud and dangerous power tools.

That is because they now stock Laura Ashley kitchens, the world renowned range filled with huge choices in styles, colours, and themes, sure to make even the pokiest of kitchens seem inviting and modern.

01904 738646 Holiday season is here! If you are thinking about jetting off on your jollies, you might have thought “who will feed my fish?” Now is the time to get thinking about the residents of your pond and who will care for them in your (well-deserved) absence.

or if your feeding schedule is a bit full-on (such as for prize-winning yet demanding Koi) consider investing in an automatic feeder. Starting at around £30, these sit next to the pond and utilise a timer mechanism to feed the fish the amount you want at the time you want.

You could ask a neighbour to help, but this is only really a good choice if they too have a pond and are used to looking after fish. Often well-meaning but in experienced neighbours will overfeed the fish, and a sudden increase of food can lead to fish illness or even deaths.

Consider the size of the hopper that holds the food, and make sure it is big enough to hold all the food the fish will need for the duration of your trip. Also, think carefully about how often it should release that food. If you buy one, try setting it up for the week before you go to make sure everything is working, just in case it needs adjusting. Enjoy your pond (and your hols!).

THE MEASURE OF YOU A good idea is to find a measure that holds a day’s worth of food, such as a jar or cut-down plastic bottle, and put that with the food storage. Instruct your volunteer to give one of these filled with food each day... and no more. But if you can’t find anyone to help,

GUIDE

Last month we went all out for the kids, with a guide to the best and most fun water toys for the garden. This time we're calming down a bit, drying off, and looking at more adult ways to incorporate the wet stuff.

WATERFALL BLADE CASCADE This kind of water feature creates a perfect 'sheet' or blade of water, which looks a bit like a constantly falling curtain. It can be used with a pond or just a small concealed reservoir, and can also be lit up at night using waterproof LED lights. Fancy. n £223.99 from www.primrose.co.uk

SOLAR WEE LAD FOUNTAIN Yep, we realise this month was supposed to be more mature than last time, but quite frankly no garden is compete without a statue of a kid piddling. What's more (as if you need more – you've already pulled out that credit card) this thing is solar powered, so it won't even need a power lead. Now the only thing to decide is what to have it peeing on? Ah, grown-up choices are tough... n£92.95 outdoorlivinguk.co.uk

WEAVE POOL Who says you have to do any digging

BALLS There's nothing more elegant that a huge ball with water trickling out of it. Well, call it what you will, but this chrome-plated ball features a cascading waterfall that slowly pours over it, producing a pleasing gleam. The good thing about this is that there is no need for a pond, as the mechanism cycles the same water over and over. n £199 from www.ukwaterfeatures.com

to get a pond? This pond is self-contained, sits right there on your patio or decking, and even lets you see in to the side of the fish. Traditional ponds can't do that, can they? A fountain can also be added, as well as aquatic plants and, if you ask us, a full set of SpongeBob Squarepants figurines to the bottom of the pool. Look, there's SpongeBob bothering Squidward again! What larks. n £449.99 from www.gardensite.co.uk

BUDDHA WATER FEATURE For a more tranquil feel, why not call upon the services of Buddha? This statue of Buddha sits calmly cross-legged while water falls from the lotus flower in his hand. Invite your yoga mates around to meditate in front of it, or just sit chill out with a book next it. See how long you last before you need to wee. n £89.99 www.amazon.co.uk

s i t a m e l C First introduced to Britain in 1569 was Clematis viticella which was brought from Spain. Over the ensuing years other species were brought from Europe where they were used in various hybridising programmes to produce new varieties. It wasn’t until the 19th century that the large flowered varieties which are so admired today were introduced from China and were hugely popular with Victorian gardeners.

March by removing dead and weak stems then cut back the remaining stems to the topmost pair of large, plump green bud. Examples of group 2 clematis are ‘Nelly Moser’, ‘Niobe’ and ‘The President’. • Group 3 clematis flower on the last two to three feet of the current seasons growth. In February or March cut back to a height of about two to three feet or a good pair of strong green buds. Some examples are ‘Ernest Markham’, ‘Jackmanii’ and viticella varieties.

Clematis fall into three groups, which flower at different times and therefore require different pruning: • Group 1 flower in early spring from buds produced on the previous season’s growth. Prune these back as soon as possible after bloom, around June/July, this allows time for new growth to produce flower buds for the next season. Varieties of these include Montana, Alpina, evergreen Armandii and Macropetala. • Group 2 are large flowered and hybrid clematis which bloom in mid May to June on short stems from last seasons growth and often again in late summer on new growth. Prune in February or

Clematis should be planted at least 12" (30cm) away from the wall or fence up which it will climb and the base of the plant should preferably be in the shade, however, if this is not possibly, apply a layer of gravel over the root zone. If you’re short on space in the garden there are a few varieties of clematis that can be grown in pots such as ‘Nelly Moser’, ‘Jackmanii’ and ‘Vyvian Pennel’. The pot should be at least 18" (24cm) deep and 15" (37cm) wide and a layer of gravel placed in the bottom of the pot for drainage.

PLANTING

There is now a wide range of new patio varieties available which are ideal for pots and containers.

LEND SUPPORT

All clematis need some form of support to make them climb, which can either be in the form of wooden or plastic trellis or a wire framework. If growing in pots a tripod of bamboo canes can be used. Clematis can also be trained to grow through trees and shrubs which gives added interest by flowering when the host plant is not. As with most plants clematis can be susceptible to problems, the major one of which is clematis wilt. The symptoms of this is a rapid collapse and browning of the leaves and stems. The problem is confined to the ariel parts only, allowing any buds below ground level to regrow but this can take several weeks. If this happens the affected parts of the plant should be pruned and destroyed and the soil around it to be treated, it takes around six to eight weeks for recovery but generally the plant will grow back.

GOT A GARDENING QUESTION? Ask

CHRIS BROWN from BROWN NURSERIES If you have a question for Chris, please email info@yourlocallink.co.uk. Call Chris on 766266.

Chris, I have some bromeliads in my conservatory. Could you please give me some advice about caring for them?

Almost all bromeliads originate in tropical or sub-tropical America. There is a multitude of species, varying remarkably in shape and colour, although most grown indoors are rosette-forming plants popular for foliage, flowers, or both. They look equally good in pots or hanging baskets, but they are frost tender. Temperatures should be between 10-15 degrees Celsius (50-59F), and they can be grown in full light or in a semi-shaded spot. Provide a rooting medium or equal parts humus-rich soil and either spragnum moss, bark, or plastic chips used for orchid culture. Using soft water, water moderately in summer,

and sparingly at all other times, and keep the cup-like rosette centres filled with water from spring through to autumn. Propagate the offsets in late spring, when small plantlets form on the side of the main plant. These will have roots after a few months, which can then be removed and potted on to make more plants. Most should be fed fortnightly to monthly using flowering house-plant fertilizer. Water when the compost surface is just dry for best results. Best of luck! (Had to go back to my books for this one. You never stop learning in life, do you?)

My Magnolia Soulangeana Susan has grown into a large shrub and now I would like to prune it. What is the best time to do this, please?

07402 8109 25

Magnolia is a genus that consists mainly of trees but includes a number of usually large, deciduous and evergreen shrubs. They are fully to frost-hardy, and are grown for their waxy, often fragrant, flowers and graceful habit that normally develops without extensive pruning. They can be grown in sun of semi-shade, but need some protection from strong winds. Magnolia Soulangeana Susan is a large, deciduous shrub, popular for its purple flowers, borne from mid-spring to early summer. Prune in midsummer, when in full leaf. Avoid pruning in the spring or early summer, when wounds will bleed, and in dormant season, as dieback often affects growth pruned at this time. After light, formative pruning, little other pruning is needed, unless the brittle wood suffers wind damage. Heavy flowering followed by

production of seed pods can reduce the plant's vigour. Badly shaped specimens can be renovated by hard pruning staged over two to three years.

A BLOOM ING G R EAT P LAC E Spruce up your garden this month with a visit to Poppleton Community Railway Nursery. The fascinating nursery is open Wednesdays and Fridays during July, 10am-3pm, for the sale of perennials, herbs, alpines and shrubs. As well as the flowers, see the interesting vintage railway memorabilia on site. n Visit www.poppletonrailwaynursery.co.uk

YOUR HOME & GARDEN

Mid-summer is when I get the dibber out. A dibber, in case you’ve not come across the word before, is an old-fashioned gardening tool designed to make planting holes. I’ve an antique one inherited from my gardening grandfather. It’s made of wood, is about 40cm long, tapers to a rounded blunt end and has a fork-like handle. Although light and easy to wield I don’t find it particularly useful. The only job it’s normally used for is the mid-summer planting of leeks. Like many gardeners I grow a lot of leeks, mainly because they can be cropped over many months. By using several different varieties and planting out in batches from late May to early August, leeks can be harvested from autumn to spring. That’s nearly eight months of fresh leeks; there aren’t many vegetables that can be cropped over such a long period.

DIB DIB DIB

I grow all my own leeks from seed planting them out in their final positions before they reach pencil size. I’ll write more about growing leeks another time, but for now let’s focus on the summer planting. A good

leek should have plenty of white stem or ‘shank’. The length of stem on most varieties can be increased by deep, light limiting, planting. This is the reason some gardeners excavate trenches and earth-up or use old pipes. I don’t bother with any of this – I just get the dibber out.

planting hole (not directly into the hole as sometimes recommended). This provides both enough moisture to get the plants established, and, most importantly, because soil is washed into the hole from the side with the water, covers the roots.

All my leeks are grown on the flat in ground that has been dug so that it is reasonably loose. The dibber can then be easily pushed into the soil to make neatly rounded planting holes about ten centimetres deep. Leeks don’t need a lot of room so I set the holes quite close, about 20cm apart. Wider spacing is only necessary if you want whoppers.

PLANTING Before being put into the dibbed holes, young leek plants have their dangly roots cut back to a centimetre or so. This may seem drastic but it means dropping the plants into the holes is easier. At the same time the tops of the plants are lightly trimmed to reduce transpiration and prevent drooping leaves. The last part of the planting process is to ensure moist soil is settled around the roots. Using a watering can with the rose (sprinkler) off, I pour water onto the ground to the side of each

Using a dibber to plant leeks makes the process faster and less arduous. If you don’t have a dibber you could improvise. I once used the handle of an upturned rake when the dibber went into hiding. A less cumbersome method for those with carpentry skills is to make your own, perhaps from the handle of a broken wooden shafted fork or spade. Alternatively, contrary to what I’d assumed, dibbers can still be purchased. Checking online I see several types are available although none that quite resemble mine. Indeed, you can even get a ‘personalised’ version engraved with your initials.

HEARD IT ON THE GRAPEVINE...

ON TRACK FOR A GREAT DAY OUT

Creeping feeling? Ah, the summer holidays are just around the corner. I remember my own time off school during the warmer months very fondly, but now I’m a mum I tend to look on the end of July and think OH GOD WHAT AM I GONNA DO?!? Fortunately here in York we’re well served by The Web Adventure Park on Wigginton Road, where you’ll find Creepy Crawlies and the High Ropes challenge (and more besides), and where in July you could get in for free. Score. Creepy Crawlies is the perfect place to go on a

Sorry, I know it’s easy to use train puns when talking about The National Railway Museum, so I’ll try to stop myself going loco. BOOM BOOM! Sorry. Anyway, I’m excited about A Day at the Museum on 9th July, when the NRM will be hosting a load of great events, all geared toward science and the railways. Families can help control trains, learn about 3D glasses, watch scientific demonstrations, and get expert opinions on very important subjects like running with scissors and Marmite. Sounds like my kinda Sunday. Find out more about this fun day at www.nrm. org.uk Definitely something I would choose. Choo-choo choose! Sorry...

sunny – and not so sunny – day, as the kids will tire themselves out on the huge indoor climbing frame, the craft corner, the outdoor go-carts, massive sandpit, water play area, and petting zoo. Add to that the extensive menu of kid and adult-friendly grub, plus the fact that adults could get in for free this month (check out their advert in this month’s issue), and you can tick an entire day off your ‘What to do with the kids this summer’ list. n Get all the necessary deets at www.webadventurepark.co.uk

U N D E R S TA N D I N G Y O U R S E L F No, I’m not referring to that scribbled note you left yourself last week detailing ‘a reely gud idear’ you had, but rather discovering the secrets of your own personality. I’ve written before about Mental Wealth, and as well as offering a range of psycho-therapeutic counseling services, they now offer one to one enneagram study sessions. But before you reach for the thesaurus, let me explain: soon after birth we all develop a personality, or ego, to help us deal with life experiences. The enneagram is an invaluable tool which can help us identify our basic personality type

and focus our attention on areas for personal growth and development. The therapists at Mental Wealth can therefore tell us a great deal about how we are likely to feel about different situations, which can help guide transformational work in the future. Basically, the enneagram helps us to understand our strengths and fears; something I find truly fascinating. n Find out more at www.mentalwealthyork.co.uk, and to book your session, call Amanda on 07913063950. Tell her I sent you, won’t you?

you’re back in the room. When you think of hypnotherapy what do you see? Some people imagine a swinging pendulum and an audience member pretending to be a chicken on stage. For others, it’s becoming a very popular and effective method of dealing with life’s challenges. York hypnotherapist, Angie Doig-Thorne, has helped people lose weight, stop smoking, calm nerves and even deal with anxiety and depression.

ar from each he ffected day from Tadcaster more 7851 org.uk or ty.org.

Take our in-house writer, Krystal for example. She had numerous sessions with Angie to help her deal with her anxiety last year: “I was a little bit skeptical at first, but my anxiety had become so intense that it was difficult to live a normal life, and I was willing to give hypnotherapy a go. “In session, Angie made positive suggestions to my subconscious mind and also she taught me coping mechanisms for when times got rough. She gave me the tools I needed to get through a very difficult time.” “After several sessions, I felt more calm and confident. I haven't looked back!”

AND CARE ALIKE

Bits and bobs for those who care for someone

HELP AND ADVICE FROM OTHER CARERS “Try and empower the service user as much as possible, because as carers we want to do everything for them really. I would suggest that, early on, even if it's very painful, to let them go. Let them live independently because that then creates that distance a little bit. Because one of the other worries of carers always is that, when I grow old and die, who's going to look after this person? If carers are always going to be worried about it, it's better that they have that difficult experience earlier on, and let their child or sibling, parent, or whoever, live independently.” - Ramilla Cares full-time for her brother “Based on my experiences, don't give up. If you feel something isn't right, you have to speak out about it and I think it's important. I had to make notes of things; keep a diary of things that wasn't going right. I'd done stuff like that because sometimes when you're meant to recall lots of stuff, you can't, because your head is so full of so much going on. I think it's about asking questions, still asking questions about things that you're not sure about.” - Sophie Cares full-time for her sister

MANGER LIFTING CUSHION. If you care for someone who is prone to falling, this could be a very worthwhile investment. The Manger Lifting Cushion features four separate inflatable cushions, as well as a battery-powered air pump. You slide it under the person who has fallen and then slowly inflate the different layers, gently lifting them to a sitting position. n £995.95 from www.completecareshop.co.uk

GATOR WATCH. What looks like a simple digital watch for kids is actually both a GPS tracker and mobile phone. Perfect for the parents of autistic children, the Gator Watch allows you to use a smartphone to see exactly where your charge is, and then speak to them on it, without the child being able to call, or be called by, other numbers. And it tells the time, too. n £99 from www.techsixtyfour.com

Give us a BJORN. He was a shy little lad but has really blossomed into a thoroughly friendly cat who is greedy for fuss and attention. Unfortunately he had quite bad cat flu and was lucky not lose an eye; as you can see from the scar. Doesn’t stop him getting up to plenty of cat based mischief! VIMTO. This fizzy chap was taken in after his owners moved and couldn’t take him along. He loves to be fussed…almost as much as he loves his grub. We know Vimto is eager to be in a new home as soon as possible. n Call Cats Protection on 760356 or visit www.cats.org.uk REGGIE. A large boy, so Reggie will need a secure garden of his own where he can run round and burn off his energy. He could live with secondary school age children and over but would need to be the only pet in the home. SUSIE. A friendly girl, who will need an active home as she does love her exercise, she is so happy when she gets to go on long, interesting and exciting walks.

NS A W AT CH FO R AL L OC CA SIO If you are set to jet off on your holiday this month, a decent watch will be a big help during your trip. However, not all watches are perfect for every occasion, and what is suitable for lounging on the beach might not be suitable for an elegant dinner. Time Out on Colliergate can help, as they now stock Daniel Wellington watches. These

stylish timepieces feature interchangeable straps, allowing you to totally change the look of the watch whenever you need to. So instead of taking more than one watch, just pack a change of straps, and Time Out have a great collection of colours, styles, and materials to chose from.

RULE OF THREE Howard Mosley-Chalk is a father and a husband. But more importantly he is a man. These are his (un)manly words. the coming darkness, or to kick us all into it, grinning. My third child - my second son - has just turned two. Those of you with freaky Rain Main memories might recall that this time last year I wrote about my son's first birthday and asked you to join me in celebrating his inaugural trip around the sun. But that was waaay back in early June 2016, when life seemed so much simpler. It would be an understatement to say that the past 12 months have been “interesting” or “surprising”, but running alongside those global changes has been the transformation of my docile puppy-like baby into the single most dominating presence in my life. And soon, perhaps, yours. I wouldn't say this lightly, but my youngest child was either put upon this earth to save us all from

told him the squid sense tha has just e

I once read the report of a deep sea diver who encountered what he believed to be a giant squid in the Antarctic Ocean. He said that an eye the size of a dinner plate, filled with a cunning human-like intelligence, peered deep into his soul and knew exactly which of them was dominant. That's basically how I feel every time my two year looks at me. The past couple of years have seen a dramatic change in the wee chap, and I don't just mean 'Aww, he can walkz nowz, lolzzzzz! INStAGRaM iNSTaGRAMz!” Last year he was soft and gentle, quiet and considerate, meek and mild. Now he is to our family as Donald Trump is to the world; funny to watch, easy to mock,

but ultimately terrifying and clearly a harbinger of catastrophe.

“SOMEWHERE A KITTEN’S HEAD HAS JUST EXPLODED.”

It is difficult to describe exactly what I mean by that, as for me writing about feelings (or feeling them, for that matter) is like swimming through treacle. Actually, here's a good example: this column is being written not in my office at home, but in the Costa on High Ousegate. I had to get out of the house, as it is a sunny day and the kids are having fun in the paddling pool. Except my youngest isn't. He's putting sand, soil, and buttered toast into the water, despite my wife's protests. Every time she

told him to stop, she and I both got the squid-look, and I'm left with the sense that somewhere a kitten's head has just exploded. I had to escape.

He is a Stephen King character; a sweet, innocent, adorable child with special powers. The other day I was pointing out the full moon to all three children, and when he peered up at the night sky, the moon immediately hid behind a cloud. I'm sure that there are ancient effigies to him carved into the decaying walls of lost cities, songs about him in languages nobody can remember, and great monoliths moulded in his image on distant alien worlds. It makes complete sense that he is here now, at our time of need. Sounds big headed, but I've always thought that I would be tied-up in some world-changing event somehow. When I was an arrogant 20-something, I assumed that I would be the one to instigate the event, such as a political or artistic revolution. Now I'm coming to terms with the fact that my part might be that of the father of 'The One'; a minor character who is most probably killed off in the first act. Or at least in a flash-back in Act Two. Taking into account history, religion, and movies, the dads of great

The other two look like me; they are soft and doughy and silly and approach things tentatively and with curious concern. The third is like his mother: energetic and passionate and nuts. Perhaps, because of that, I just don't understand him as well as I do the others. Or, perhaps, no human can, as his kind were born in the birthing pool of the galactic core, and suckled on the milky teat of the universe's unending black. He is here. He is watching. Now, we wait.

HEALTH & BEAUTY FOR YOU

ASK THE EXPERT

UPLIFTING BEAUTY Resident beauty expert, Dr Saleen Zimri talks about getting a facelift without going under the knife of 30 and over who are trying to combat effectively 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 18 months to 2 years!”

What areas can silhouette soft treat?

If you're looking to tighten and define your face, but stop short at the idea of a hospital stay and general anaesthetic, then Silhouette Soft could be the answer.

Customers can expect a discreet and immediate lifting effect: as soon as the suture is applied, the doctor reshapes the treated area by means of a double action: compressing and elevating tissue. And a gradual and natural regenerating effect : in being absorbed, the component of the suture, polylactic acid allows to restore shapeliness to the face.

Face lifts are a scary step to take, but younger, wrinkle free skin can be achieved without going under the knife Silhouette Soft produces natural looking results with a redefined face, restored volume and reduced wrinkles in just a 30-minute treatment by your doctor!

What is Silhouette Soft? Silhouette soft is a non-invasive thread lift procedure using absorbable cone threads in the skin.

Perfect for sagging jawline, heavy brow, and regeneration of rosy apple cheeks, giving you a fresh, rested, natural look, with full facial movement and expression.

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.

With products from non-surgical augmentation to minor surgery, the team at Skin Doctor on Blossom Street combine excellent medical practice with a friendly, caring service. Visit www. skindoctorclinics.co.uk or

way to get lost is back, as from 15th July York Maze will reopen and welcome one and all. However, the huge corn maze isn’t the only attraction, as there will be the usual corny fun and games, including water wars, bumpy tractor rides, refreshments, a play area, and corn-fusing fun houses. But the big question is what will the maze depict this year? We won’t know until opening day, but we’re hoping for Darth Vader on a moped with a rabbit sitting on his helmet. Might happen. You don’t know. n Visit www.yorkmaze. com (and hey – if you want to blag some free tickets, turn to our competition pages toward the front of the mag!)

BRING ON THE BOLLYWOOD (11TH-15TH JULY) Bring on the Bollywood - a romantic comedy that features a fantastic soundtrack interwoven with wit, wild parties and some wicked dances. City and country, old and new collide at Colonel Pawar’s ancestral home, the shabby and un-chic Lakshman Villa. Confined within these walls, his wife Mrs Pawar pines for the cultural polish of London, New York or Paris! BUZZ: A NEW MUSICAL (27TH-29TH JULY) Winner of the 2016 Eddies Award, the sell-out Edinburgh hit Buzz: A New Musical returns; a hilarious musical journey through the history of the vibrator and a brutally honest story of a singleton’s quest to fall back in love with herself. Sex Ed just got a revamp. ROBIN HOOD: THE ARROW OF DESTINY (4TH AUGUST-2ND SEPTEMBER) It's all very well stealing from the rich to give to the poor, but when you have no sense of direction then mayhem ensues! Robin Hood is lost in Sherwood Forest. It's not his fault; there are a lot of trees. But once again it falls to Maid Marian to save the day and get him and the Merry Men out of a scrape. They may wear the tights, but Marian knows what really makes a hero. A summer swashbuckling show for all the family as the team of actor puppeteers re-tell this classic story of heroism, valour, and the power of legendary teamwork with songs, slapstick and spectacle.

Garlic and mustard grilled beef skewers, shitake ketchup C O U R T E S Y O F AWA R D W I N N I N G C H E F C R A I G ATC H I N S O N T H E R I S E AT T H E G R A N D H O T E L A N D S PA Craig Atchinson has created a modern sharing menu boasting the best seasonal and ethically-sourced ingredients for York’s latest restaurant, The Rise, at The Grand Hotel and Spa. He let us in on a secret recipe in time for the opening.

Ingredients

• 200g shitake mushrooms sliced • 50g butter • 50g caster Sugar • Sherry vinegar to taste • Salt

• 4 x hanger steak 7oz • 100g Dijon mustard • 4 cloves of garlic

1. 2. 3. 4.

Method For The Skewers. Blend the Dijon mustard and garlic to a smooth paste. Slather the steaks with the paste and allow to marinade for at least 4 hours. Dice the steak into 10 equal pieces. Place five pieces of the marinated meat onto a wooden skewer and repeat the process until you have eight skewers Cook on a BBQ or a flat top grill for 4-6 minutes depending on your preference of cooking, 4 for rare, 5 for medium rare.

5. 6. 7.

For the Shitake ketchup. Add the butter in a thick bottom sauce pan and put on a medium heat until the butter starts to foam. Place the sliced mushrooms into the pan and sweat for 8-10 minutes or until soft. At this stage add the sugar a stir until dissolved. Transfer the mix to food processor and blend until smooth. Season with sherry vinegar and salt to taste. Serve immediately.

JUNE OFFER: Three dishes from the main small plates menu, plus free-flowing prosecco for £25 per person.* • Call 01904 380 045 to book your table at The Rise, The Grand Hotel and Spa, York. Visit www.theriseyork.co.uk • Diners can expect local beers and ales, a hand-selected wine selection, signature cocktails plus live music on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Choose Tuesday

Tuesday: it might be Monday's slightly less annoying little mate, but it is still very much a 'blah' of a day. If, for you, Tuesdays are a consistent bore during which nothing of interest occurs, this one is for you. What if we told you that pizza night – a thing normally reserved for the weekend – was now on a Tuesday? Its happening, and its all thanks to Pizza Box in Haxby. Every Tuesday you can order any two 11” pizzas, for collection or delivery, and pay just £10. What? Ten pounds? Yep, which is pretty much nowt compared to what you used to blow on pizza night. To snag this amazing weekly offer, check out Pizza Box's menus at www.pizzaboxyork.co.uk then call 768828.
