york life

summer is now If this is your first summer in York – first of all, welcome exotic foreigner – secondly, we hope you’re enjoying the summer... because this it. As experienced Yorkies will tell you, May is typically the nicest month of the year in our beauteous city, with long days of bright sunshine and pleasant rain-free (well...) weather. While other cities are only just starting to think about summer swimwear, York people are strutting their stuff in bikinis and trunks.

Which is why May is a great month to get out there. To be honest every month of the year is a great time to live in York, as there is always something amazing and magical taking place (even during the secret month of Nerober, which you’re not allowed to tell anyone else about, okay?).

If wandering the streets, soaking up the history, culture, and general happy ambiance (as well as the sun)

isn’t enough for you and yours, simply flip to the back of the mag and peruse the many event listings.

It’s a bold statement, but if there isn’t anything taking place that captures your interest, send us an email and we’ll put on a show for you. What?

Nothing going on for crocodile wrestling enthusiasts? You bring the croc and we’ll meet you by the fountain on Parliament Street.

Actually, that last offer might be a tad unreasonable; we’re all so tired from making this issue that wrestling large reptiles (as well as fulfilling any other weird requests – and we know that they would be weird, you weirdos) might be impossible. Don’t believe us? Just check out the rest of the mag, filled with features, interviews, columns, news snippets, and competitions, and feel satisfied that we’ve done it all for you. Just you.

Enjoy your May-ish summer!

WE ARE Okay, okay... let’s be clear here: the Tour de Yorkshire, the thing that was basically started because of how well the Tour de France went when it took off from our fair city, WON’T be travelling through York this year. We know, we know... try to clam down. We’re sure that the organisers will realise their mistake when, instead of lining their streets with blue bicycles and shouting calls of encouragement to the riders, the residents of Doncaster will throw stones and harsh words, angered by the sight of men in Lycra (“What’s up wi thee? Is tha a girlie?”) and television helicopters overhead (“What’s tha new-fangled thing ova mi ‘ead? Quick, lob stones at it!”). You just wait. They’ll come crawling back next year.

FUNNY

Sounds big headed, but we’re not NOT going to boast about something awesome (notice the ‘York’s most read publication’ sticker on the front cover? Ain’t there to fill a gap, baby). Well, at least we will be funnier once we attend the latest WriteStars writing support course, taking place this month at The Grange Hotel. This time the expert word-doers are hosting a Romantic Comedy workshop, where authors and script writers can get professional help to perfect their next masterpiece. Whatever you produce, we’re guessing it’ll be better than the next thing Richard Curtis poops out. Check the Events section for more deets.

YORK ROCKS! SHOPS HAVE VANISHED

Calm down geologists, we’re not talking about the local substrate... we do in fact mean the head-banging, fist-pumping, voice-losing kind of rock... and boy does York do it well. Unlike other cities, who ‘rock’ merely as an excuse to fill the empty void of their pointless lives (looking at you Wakefield), when we rock, we do it for a very good reason. York Rocks Against Cancer will quite literally shake the stage of the Grand Opera House this month, compeered by a star of Emmerdale (along with other Emmerdaleers performing), as well as fantastic local bands – all to raise funds for York Against Cancer. Watch out cancer; this highly-regarded city with historical, cultural, and scientific significance ain’t big enough for the both of us.

Who says something that disappeared just 15 years ago can’t be featured in the Time Travel article? You? Well {viciously blown raspberry} to you, mate! That is because this month we delved into the recent history of two of York’s lost shopping arcades, The Davygate Centre and Stonegate Arcade. Do you remember either of these mini shopping centres?

Strange to think, but in 20 years from now we could be writing “Does anyone remember that weird little Coppergate shopping area?” “Aye,” you’ll answer, “my mum used to take me for £7 pastries at Patisserie Valerie. Happy days...”

A family business since 1936 We deliver. We install. We care.

and life in general

as seen By racHel ragg

I stared very carefully at the woman on the Number 4 to Acomb.

She did look remarkably like my mother.

But as my mother lives in Sheffield, she couldn’t really be on the Acomb bus. And surely she would have let me know, had she made a sudden decision to take a little day-trip to Acomb (surely an unlikely event by anyone’s standards)?

I scrutinised her closely for the rest of my journey. So much so that my fellow passengers probably thought I needed arresting.

No: she clearly didn’t recognise me.

The poor victim of my staring was evidently not my mother.

She was just a victim of my catastrophic inability to recognise faces.

face off Give me a list of 100 names, and I will be able to recite them in alphabetical order after one reading. But faces?

Not a chance.

This was fine when I was too vain to wear glasses. Then I could merely claim that I hadn’t seen people when

they greeted me, and I didn’t have to go into the whole ‘sorry - I know we shared a student house for three years, but I still don’t recognise you’ kind of conversation.

If I was standing close enough to them not to be able to claim shortsightedness, I merely learnt to adapt my conversation so that I could eventually work out exactly whom I was talking to. (“Oh yes - I knew all along that you’re my sister”. That kind of thing).

Admittedly, it did prove a challenge when I was a university teacher.

The annual turnover of students was far more than my poor faciallychallenged brain could cope with.

And believe me, students don’t like to think that they are unmemorable.

After weeks of causing offence in my first job (addressing all the male students as Jon worked reasonably well, but the females tended to have a greater variety of names), I solved the problem with a stroke of genius: I amended my register. ‘Tall, thin, spotty’, ‘short, ginger’, ‘Graham Norton’s

MEMORIALS

double’, ‘looks like a nun’, I noted after each student’s name. The day I lost the register was not a good one.

Happily, though, my children have not inherited my face-blindness. So when we were at Energise at the weekend, they had no trouble recognising their schoolfriend Sam and his dad when we found ourselves sharing a float with them at water “fun” (whoever came up with the idea that children plus swimming pool equals fun?) And so we spent a merry hour in the pool with Sam and his dad, then went our separate ways.

The next morning, I found myself standing next to a man in the playground. The fact that he was in the playground suggested that he was someone’s parent. And the fact that he said hello to me in a reasonably familar kind of way suggested that he knew me, and that I should probably know who he was.

“Hello,” I replied carefully. Hmm, I wondered. Where have I seen you before?

He was smart and well dressed and carrying a briefcase, which suggested that he had a real job. His

clean-shaven face and general lack of scruffiness ruled out the possibility that he might be a teacher. He definitely wasn’t my dad, as he was the wrong age. But as I know lots of men in York with suits and real jobs, that didn’t narrow it down quite enough.

“Nice day,” I said, playing for time. Was he my financial advisor? My cousin? My best friend’s husband? My daughter’s brass teacher? Should I be making intelligent conversation about scales and arpeggios?

“Did the children enjoy the water fun?” he asked.

Then the proverbial penny dropped.

Water fun. Swimming pool. Sam’s dad.

“Oh!” I exclaimed. “I’m so sorry - I didn’t recognise you with your clothes on.”

The playground fell silent.

It is said that the worst thing you can do when you are in a hole is to keep on digging.

So of course that’s precisely what I did.

“Um, I mean, I don’t mean no clothes as in naked, I mean, swimming ... trunks ... oh dear.”

I am never collecting my children from school again.

21ST APR - 21ST MAY

L to R: Audrey Hepburn, Queen Elizabeth II, John Oliver, Henry Cavill

Probably too many ideas and options cluttering up your mind at the moment, so be methodical in sorting out your priorities, then do your best to tackle one job at a time.

While I wouldn’t describe this as being an excitingly romantic month, it is a good time for building bricks and laying down foundation stones that keep relationships safe and sound.

A partner or spouse will respond favourably to these overtures.

The mood of restlessness prevalent in April does not subside in May – indeed in many

ways it gets a lot stronger, pushing you into actually doing something instead of just talking (or dreaming) about it. Don’t be afraid to take the lead, for others will follow!

The 5th, 6th and 19th are particularly thoughtful days when you assess your achievements with a mixed degree of pride and nostalgia for days gone by, but it also at this time that you will acquire a clearer vision of your own mid and long term future.

Also around May 5th there should be at least one important family reunion.

GEMINI

CANCER

LEO

VIRGO 24th AUG - 22nD SEP

22ND MAY - 21ST JUN

22ND JUN - 22ND JUL

23RD JUL - 23rD AUG

A month of many readjustments as you come to grips with new domestic routines and family situations. Lots of support from within your close circle of friends and colleagues, and although it may be a bit of a slog, you’ll take a number of leaps and bounds forwards. Put off making major decisions until you know exactly what you want.

Quite a good money month with some changes to work routines and responsibilities around the 8th. Long distance travel projects being planned, and some thought given (by some of you) to the idea of buying property as an investment. Ladies should beware of bad pennies popping up from their past. Guys will regret making undeliverable promises.

A bit of a messy month with a number of different situations demanding priority.

Buying and selling will be relevant for some, while others will be spending cash on property and renovation. Conflict with a lover or partner on a matter of principle should be avoided, for there are arguments here that no one can win.

A romantic reunion for some with an enjoyable boost to your love life. Ladies will feel confident and assertive, and guys, it would serve you well to be open to new ideas. Some mischief and humour suggests that no matter what you do or expect, things will not go according to plan, and there will be a few surprises waiting for you around the corner.

For details of private readings phone 07884 107100 or 01423 339770 Email: jcp@magepublishing.co.uk

LIBRA 23rd SEP - 23RD OCT You need to rely on your own judgement during the first week, and expect some

14 LL May 2016.indd 14

18/04/2016 17:20

scorPio 24Th OCT - 22ND NOV

In a conflict situation someone will offer you a compromise and although it won’t sit well with you, you really do need to accept it. No one wins, but no one loses, and that’s got to be worth something. The events of the first three weeks lead you towards making some kind of blind choice in week four; you won’t know what to do, so you might as well toss a coin.

sagittarius 23RD NOV - 21ST DEC

A busy and profitable period gives your finances a boost, not enough to buy you a mink or a Merc, but enough to distract you from some of the deeper philosophical thoughts boinging around in your brain at this time. Money spent on a luxury item looks likely, probably around the 11th or the 20th but after only a short time, you’ll wonder why you bought it.

caPricorn 22ND DEC - 20Th JAN

Some extra sparkle added to your social life on or around the 5th, and while you’ll feel reasonably cheerful and confident where money matters are concerned,

monitor your spending and don’t bend plastic. A good time on the work scene, where your efforts will be noticed and appreciated. A tempting travel opportunity raises its head around the 22nd.

aQuarius 21ST JAN - 18Th FEB In dealing with a lover or partner, tact and diplomacy probably hasn’t worked, so now is the time to be open and very direct… not aggressive or angry, but none too subtle either! If compromises have to be made, fine, but let someone meet you half way first! Be warned, however, that you can lead a horse to the water but you can’t make the damn thing drink.

Pisces 19Th FEB - 20Th MAR Cool logic and common sense are your better friends than gut feelings and intuition. So, pay heed to this energy and work with it. Money spent on social aspects and entertainment, also on clothes and a few personal luxuries, should be seen as an investment in yourself.

Something you thought you’d lost will be returned to you – but will you still want it?

aries 21ST MAR - 20Th APR Unexpected guests or visitors who outstay their welcome may cause some domestic disturbance, especially between the 11th and the 18th. Problems with transport drains some of your financial reserves as you have to pay more than you’d budgeted for to get from A to B. Most Arians will be in a “put up and shut up” mood where job routines are concerned.

hassle with red tape. The second week of the month is all about money and some exciting new job prospects. Week three sees you taking a stride towards the fulfilment of an ambition, but then in week four there’ll be set-backs, disappointments and delays. Not your fault.

JOIN THE

CLUB in tune Fancy getting involved with a local singing group? Tenants of one of City of York Council’s Sheltered Housing schemes, Honeysuckle House in Dringhouses, are appealing for local residents to join them for a sing-song.

more tHan Just Books We think we can all agree that libraries are fantastic. Unfortunately some people find it hard to use libraries, especially if they have difficulty getting around or are isolated. It's a good job that the Home Library Service is up and running in York then, making home visits to take books – and more – to those who need them.

Working together with the Royal Voluntary Service, the Home Library Service can now make personal calls where volunteers pop 'round with a selection books to chat, over tea and biscuits, about the person's reading habits and interests.

OF COURSE YOUYOU HAVE. OF COURSE HAVE. Lucky Daphne’s got all the Lucky Daphne’s got all the answers. Write to her care answers. Write to her care of Your Local Link and she’ll of Your Local Link and she’ll soon sort you out. soon sort you out.

SELF IMPORTANT HUSBAND Daphne, my husband always puts work first, and seems to think that what I do isn’t as important. It’s frustrating because I’m the one who earns the most money, but I never push my work in his face and make him feel second place to it. How can I get him to see that we are equal? Janice, Bootham Janice, your husband sounds like he’s maybe having trouble dealing with the fact that you are more successful than him. It sounds like he puts work first

URRY

and acts like it’s more important because he’s insecure about it. Does he know how he makes you feel? It might be worth taking time out to speak to him about this and explain that you just want to feel like you’re both equals. Regardless of what you do for a living or earn, he shouldn’t make you feel second best.

We have now started running our

SHE NEVER PAYS Daphne, I’m sick of paying for my girlfriend all the time. She doesn’t drive and seems to think that petrol is free and only works part time so if I want to do anything fun with her, it’s usually me who has to pay. How can I get her to pay her way and think about her money situation? Alice, Fulford.

Alice your girlfriend sounds like a scrub but how she affords to live is her decision. If she’s happy on her wage and working part time then there’s nothing you can do about it.

Give her nothing for a month: no free lifts, and no days out. If she wants to see you, do something that’s free.

She’ll soon start to realise that money doesn’t grow on trees and you can’t keep on spending your money on her. What a loser.

MIFFED OFF MUM Dear Daphne, my daughter just got engaged to her partner of 3 years. I had crossed my fingers that she would have found someone new instead of this man. He comes across as moody and never seems to be comfortable in our presence. Should I tell her I’m not pleased about the engagement?

Anonymous, Acomb

her life with, but ask if he does feel comfortable around the family and if there’s anything you can do to improve the situation. He might come across as moody because he senses you don’t like him. Be a grown up.

Remember, parents are there for life, her fiancé (if he is a plank) will not be and you need to be there to pick up the pieces if it all goes horribly wrong.

You can’t choose who your children fall in love with. I think it’s a terrible idea to tell your daughter you’re not pleased about her engagement.

That’s if you still want her to speak to you. This is the man who she wants to spend the rest of her life with so you’re going to have to be a lot more tactful than that. Maybe say you’re happy that she’s found someone who she wants to spend the rest of

John mate, it’s not your money. Just because your friend has come into a significant sum of money doesn’t mean he should give it to you.

Besides five figures wouldn’t even get your friend a house nowadays.

Be realistic; would you give him the money? You can’t ask him. If you’re so desperate you could drop a few hints, but this bloke doesn’t owe you anything. Your ideas of self entitlement are overwhelming and I have no advice for you other than get a grip.

PUPPY LOVE Dear Daphne, I keep on getting upset and angry if my boyfriend doesn’t text back and I’ve realised I depend on him too much emotionally. I’m only 18 and I don’t want my happiness to lie in his hands?

Gemma, Layerthorpe

Ah Gemma, young love. It’s ok to care that your boyfriend doesn’t text you back, but hopefully you’ve been lucky enough to find someone who isn’t always glued to their phone – good for you! It’s good that you’ve realised early on that this is not how you want to be. Find your own hobbies to keep you busy so you’re not checking your phone constantly; see friends, and make plans. Loving someone else doesn’t rescue you from the mission of loving yourself.

However if we’re talking days, not hours here, mention it to him – that’s not cool.

GOLD DIGGER One of my close friends recently came into a huge (5 figures) amount of money from a relative who died. He knows that I’ve been saving for a deposit on a house for 5 years now, and I was hoping he would offer to give me the extra £2,000 that I need to secure a mortgage. He hasn’t even mentioned it to me. Can I ask him? John, Rawcliffe

THIS MONTH: tHe lost arcades Although the title might hint at Indiana Jones-like adventures in Mayan ruins, we’re actually talking about two of York’s (recently) lost shopping arcades, The Davygate Centre and Stonegate Arcade.

If you're new to York, both in terms of having arrived in the past few years, or having not long been born, the chances are you will wander along Davygate and NOT pine for the glory days of Wimpy, Track Records, and Dave Smith Models.

Where today you pass the glass and steel entrance to Gap, there once was a welcoming portal enticing the shoppers of 1970s and 80s York into the Davygate Centre.

This covered mini shopping centre, occupying space now taken up by the

aforementioned fashion shop and the majority of BHS, was known locally for being crammed with 'unique' shops and as a great place to shelter from the rain. Before the centre was closed and demolished in the early 90s, it also offered Yorkies a short-cut they can't take these days, thanks to a back entrance into BHS (then much smaller) and out onto Coney Street.

In it's heyday the Davygate Centre played home to shops including Recordmania, Yorcom Computers, Nu-Earth comic books, independent clothing shops such as Venture and Traffic, Network Music, Multi Sound HiFi, Gillies Fabrics, Track Records, a

very popular cafe, and of course – as it was the 70s and 80s – a Wimpy (which later became Burger King).

Most of these businesses closed prior to the centre being removed, but some, such as Gillies Fabrics (and for a couple decades more, Track Records) managed to find new homes.

While The Davygate Centre was doing roaring business, City of York Council green-lit

another commercial expansion.

Stongate Arcade was situated just behind the older buildings of Stonegate, with entrances also leading to it from Blake Street. The whole site is today covered by New Look, although clues to it's past whereabouts can still be sighted along two alleyways leading off Stonegate.

Unlike Davygate, Stonegate Arcade never really took off, and for much of it's 20 year life

of the millennium saw much of the site levelled, both to create the huge New Look store, and also several apartments above, with muchpublicised views of the Minster.

Today the Blake Street entrance has vanished, but the smaller alleys leading from Stonegate still exist (although locked and gated at time of press) with one giving a tell-tale view of an abandoned post box!

it featured empty retail units and very low pedestrian traffic. Despite the glass canopy, airy atmosphere, and views over the rooftops to the Minster, Stonegate Arcade was regarded as something of a 'white elephant', hindered by the relatively small and concealed entrance ways.

As reported in The Press in 1998, only seven of the 23 remaining units were occupied.

BABIES ON THE BRAIN This month a rather broody Krystal talks about the joys of being a guide parent and what kind (of guide parent) she wants to be.

//Music corner//

WHO: Maverick Sabre WHERE: Fibbers WHEN: 27th May 2016 INFO: Following the success of his 2015 sell out tour, Maverick Sabre is going unplugged for an intimate set of gigs playing to small crowds.

A unique opportunity.

I’m not a kid person. To be honest when Rosie told me she was pregnant I was overjoyed for her, but I was also petrified. Never had I held a baby without it crying. Would her baby like me? Would I like her because she was created by my friend?

Part of my fear of children is the responsibility that they come with. You can’t go out on a Friday night and return on the Sunday with a baby in toe. I mean I’m not even sure night clubs accept babies.

When Rosie had her daughter I was in awe; she now knows something that I don’t. They say it’s inexplicable, the parental love you can feel for another being. I was so apprehensive when I went into the hospital.

But when I met baby Coco, I was overcome with joy.

She’s gorgeous. She’s got big wide eyes like her mum, but mostly takes after her dad, and she’s got really long arms and legs, like a little frog.

She loves being swayed from side to side and only really cries when she’s not being fussed. We get on great. God: I’ve even changed her nappy without complaint.

I feel like I’ve come a long way with Your Local Link.

When I first wrote a column three years ago, I was talking about not going to university and the price of beans on toast. Now I have friends who are parents, I baby sit – I kind of know how to look after a baby now, haven’t you heard? It’s an important skill; I might put it on my CV. But the biggest achievement of all was when Rosie and Chris asked me to be Coco’s guide mother (yeah - it’s like godmother but without religious affiliation). It’s a big decision; I’ve agreed to be a part of that little girl’s life, forever. And I’ve got some promises to make and some advice to give - I’d like to make to her in writing, right here, right now. So here goes.

Coco, you’re so small now, but I see more of your mum and dad in you every day. I hope I prove to be a great asset in your life and you feel you can come to me in times of trouble. I promise to show you the same loyalty I have hown to your parents. I will always be there when you need me. I will not buy you alcohol when you are

24 LL May 2016.indd 24

18/04/2016 17:21

skill I’ve learned in recent years. Be fickle; there’s nothing wrong with changing your mind on things once you receive different information – keep your thoughts fluid and your mind open.

Remember that you are just as important as everyone else, and anyone who doesn’t see that, doesn’t deserve your time.

And most of all, appreciate your parents. They’re wonderful human beings and I’m truly lucky to call them my friends.

I’ve recently taken up meditation. OK, I know that it sounds strange but just hear me out a second. Rusell Brand does it, Rupert Murdoch does it and so does Ellen Degeneres. That list is by no means exhaustive - but to get my point, a lot of people are doing it. I was sceptical. It’s only right to be.

But there’s nothing to believe in here, there isn’t a philosophy. Meditation has been linked to lowering blood pressure, reducing anxiety and even improving immunity to illness. For me meditation has turned out to be a great coping mechanism for stress and anxiety whilst it also comes in handy for grounding myself after a crazy weekend.

The first few times were pretty weird:

I’d find myself replaying a horrendous made-up situation or thinking about how much saturated fat I’d consumed in a given week. But with time and focus I learnt to let those strange thoughts breeze past without letting them wind me up.

After I’ve spent a bit of time out I always feel energised and calm, it makes me feel much more able to take on new challenges.

I can’t wait to get home tonight and do it again.

underage, but I won’t grass you up to mum and dad if someone else does. Be careful of handsome boys in bands and watch out for judgemental teenage girls; don’t be one, but don’t let them phase you either.

Don’t skip lessons to watch ninja warrior and don’t pluck your eyebrows out of shape. Squeezing spots is a slippery slope and you’re better off not knowing the strange satisfaction. Baz Luhrman was right – wear sunscreen.

Forgiveness is the single most valuable

CAUGHT ON CAMERA Howard Mosley-Chalk is a father and a husband.

But more importantly he is a man.

These are his (un)manly words.

Listen, I know I bang on about being a cyclist quite a bit in this column, and I know that my stories of cruising this great city of ours are usually only as exciting as “...and then I discovered the flood gate was closed!� but this month somebody tried to kill me.

I've dropped straight to a new paragraph here to let the significance of that statement sink in. Shocked?

You should be. Imagine this magazine without my influence. Actually, don't do that. Certainly don't email the

Editor with ideas of how it could be improved without me. Just keep reading and be glad I'm here at all to write these incredible words.

Recently, as I was returning on my bike from a gruelling session of creating this very issue at my local coffee shop, a motorist pulled out in front of me at speed, forcing me to brake like I have never broken before. I almost came off my bike amidst busy traffic, and the fiend just sped off, possibly to run over an old

lady, or contribute a column to The Daily Mail about immigrants.

Possibly. That would have been the end of the issue (pun intended!), if I hadn't captured the whole incident on my helmet cam. Ha. Obviously, being the tough guy I am, I immediately called the Police. I explained that I had almost been killed by a motorist who seemed to care not a jot, and that I had filmed it all in glorious high-definition. Some time later a towering Spartan of a police constable, all clad in high-vis and donning a utility belt to put Batman's to shame, came 'round to take my statement and view the footage. I, in no way, had a man-crush on this gentleman, so I don't even know why you brought it up.

Agreeing that the motorist was indeed a cad, he asked me how I would like to proceed. I enquired if hanging was still a viable punishment for such an offence, but he replied in the negative. Instead, I opted to bring

the full power of the law upon the person's head, which would involve a stern talking to and possibly even a visit to court. Which would make this an open legal case, and therefore not something I should be discussing publicly. Anyway...

The whole incident got me thinking (yes, it takes near-death experiences to do that) about surveillance. We're constantly being told that Britain is the most surveilled country in the world, with more CCTV cameras on this island, per person, than any other.

It's something I've personally grown up with, as obviously a good place to put security cameras is around people who may be up to no good. I'm originally from Doncaster.

But the idea that everyday Joes like myself now have HD cameras attached to their person, means that everybody is potentially being

28 LL May 2016.indd 28

18/04/2016 17:21

york life

filmed all of the time, everywhere.

Sure, a cyclist's helmet cam is there for a reason; one that most people can understand and relate to. But once I forgot to switch it off when I entered the Co-Op in Haxby, and I unknowingly filmed a three minute conversation with a staff member about scones. When I discovered that I'd done that, I felt dirty even having the file on my memory card.

I recently saw an action camera that is designed not just for filming 'action' (skateboarding, parachuting, extreme conker matches), but also just for wearing as you go about your daily business, for “security.”

Its so small you could easily mistake it for a weird brooch or an innocent activity tracker, which means that right now, even as you read this article which is definitely a worthwhile inclusion to the magazine, you could be being filmed. Did your partner

come home yesterday wearing a strange new gadget? Did the postman linger a little too long while handing over that parcel this morning? As you ripped these pages to line the hamster's cage, did you notice the rodent watching you quietly, a smug smile upon it's furry face? All of them were wearing cameras, and no, you're not being paranoid.

My advice? Film 'em back, Cold War style. Just make sure your camera is higher-def and even smaller. Soon there won't be such a thing a TV, as at night we'll all be watching the footage we captured during the day.

Because of this, zoos, theme parks, and strip clubs will do a roaring trade as people try to do more interesting things. Because TV is crazy good these days.

Tesco, Argos, a knors nowt! Read th h, Ba r? oo M on lift Think you know C The name Clifton Moor might today be synonymous with shopping, bargain hunting, sipping coffee and saying ‘Ooo, there’s a parking space’, but there’s a lot more going on in that particular corner of York. In the December 2014 issue we wrote about the history of the site in our regular Time Travel feature (don’t bother hunting through the recycling; it’s already been picked up. Go here: www.issuu.com/yourlocallink) and about how it used to be a Second

World War airfield. All but a few tantalising traces of the airstrips have been removed or covered up (check Google Maps to see remnants of the runways!), but there is still plenty of interesting quirks to the area.

If you simply use Clifton Moor to nip to Tesco and back, you probably won’t know about this artificial lake hidden behind Clifton Moor Gate. Then again, if you’re a keen angler, you definitely do. Rawcliffe Lake is a wonderful self-contained nature reserve amid the modern housing of Rawcliffe and What? Another part of Clifton Moor (kinda) that doesn't involve pushing a trolley or leafing through the Argos catalogue? You betcha, baby! Clifton Backies, just off Water Lane to the south of the site, is a large nature reserve filled with open fields and woodland, as well as many species of animals.

Clifton, constructed when the houses and shops were built in the 1980s. Great for a wander down there with the kids, there are foot paths running around the entire lake, with lots of entrances via snickets to the streets beyond. Legend has it that Poseidon, Great King of the Sea, holidays there.

Originally belonging to St Mary's Abbey, the site was part of the WW2 airfield and was used to store aircraft such as the famous Halifax bombers. Following the end of hostilities, Clifton Backies returned to nature, creating the wild and interesting space we have today.

The Friends of Clifton Backies (www.cliftonbackies. org.uk) organise regular events, including moth and butterfly spotting get-togthers. Great fun, and not a KFC in sight.

Take a stroll along the many winding streets and roads behind Vue Cinema (many of which allude to the area’s aeronautical past, such as Amy Johnson Way, named after the pioneering pilot) and you might find something very green. No, not a vat of guacamole destined for the nachos of cinema-goers, but rather the York Eco Business Centre. The building, which houses many start-up and established York companies, is the only ‘A’ graded office building in Clifton Moor because of it’s energy efficiency and sustainable outlook. As you might imagine, the businesses here are certainly smaller than Toys ‘R’ Us, but are definitely more interesting, including technology company Damson, whose Director we interviewed last year (check out the Issuu link above to find it).  If you’d like to know more about the centre, including rates and room hire, visit www.yorkecobusinesscentre.com

SPORT REPORT with Dan Tait

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

They say in football that you get no luck when you’re down at the bottom of the league, and although York City can have few excuses as they drift back into the Vanarama Premier, certain things have not gone their way in recent weeks. For example, take the Crawley Town home game in late March where a seemingly classy first time ball by loan star Lewis Alessandra was destined for a free player on the wing, only to rebound off Vadine Oliver, who took the ball straight in the face in what looked like the worst one-two ever seen on a football pitch. Later on another loan signing, Will Boyle, all alone, tried to shepherd the ball out for a York City throw, only to miscalculate the flight and see the ball comically come off his shin and give Creepy Crawley possession. Poor Boyle went one better in the next game where he conceded a penalty, had his head bandaged up from a clash of heads, and later got sent off, losing the plot more than Jordan Speith.

Taxi!

There is little to laugh about right now at York City, but an expected nondeliberate attempt was perhaps made in the match day programme for the Wycombe Wanderers home game where they wrote up the winners of the 50/50 Cash Draw winners. The section outlines the winners, the package they have won, and then credit is given to the seller of the ticket. Surely I can’t have been the only one to notice that the winner of the £25 cash and voucher for Fleetway’s Taxis prize was sold the ticket by the same person? Given some performances this season it’s likely the Fleetway’s voucher would have been cashed in for manager Jackie McNamara.

Onto local boxing now, and on the 18th March at Elland Road, Leeds, professional boxer Paul

BEFORE

Gordon, who is trained and managed by Glenn Banks at York Masters Boxing club, won a points decision 40-36, over Lincoln’s Aaron Robinson.

Paul, in his 2nd fight as a professional, won with ease in a disciplined performance, boxing to instruction and using his boxing skills. On the same show promoted by Mark Bateson, Paul’s stablemate Luke Fash, who is also trained and managed by Banks, fought local Leeds boxer Russ Midgley.

After a disastrous start hitting the canvas twice Luke battled back hard showing drive, desire and much determination that saw well-known referee Howard Foster score it a draw, 38-38, in a battle that was

Perhaps the biggest laugh this month had to come from Sky who saw usual mugs (including myself) purchase the Anthony Joshua world title ‘fight’ against the hapless American Charles Martin, who picked himself off the canvas as well as a compensatory £5 million. After a couple of decent shots by man mountain Joshua, a dazed Martin preceded to ‘misjudge’ the referee’s count. I think he got confused and thought the ref was converting his salary into dollars for him.

As for Joshua, this sets up the Olympic Gold Medallist for a showdown with the likes of Tyson Fury, David Haye and Deontay Wilder. People have excitedly compared him to Mike Tyson, who I have to admit I have limited knowledge of as the only real punch I have seen him throw is the one that knocked out Alan in the Hangover movie. To be fair it was a good punch.

SKY HIGH

voted Fight of the Night. Paul’s next fight is on Friday 20th May back at Elland Road, Leeds.

Of course boxing was rocked recently by Nick Blackwell’s head injuries suffered in a bruising encounter with Chris Eubank Jr, and Glenn Banks has been in the opposition corner to Nick Blackwell when he beat Pocklington Rocket Harry Matthews in 2010 in Bath. Hearing of his recovery Banks said “I was so happy when I found out he was out of his coma. Boxing got criticised again but the British Boxing Board of Control have the best medical procedures in place and have all licenced boxers’ best interests at heart”.

Using electro-magnetic pulses, Sharkbanz, which can be worn either on the wrist or ankle, spooks Jaws and his mates, encouraging them to keep their distance.

Bus hair

Like 'bus fare’, but with hair. Geddit? Anyway, the reason we're punning it up right away is because a new motoring world record has recently been set, and it might explain why your bus was late this morning. Asha Rani already holds several world records to her name, including 'Heaviest weight lifted by both eye sockets', and 'Heaviest vehicle pulled by the ears(!)', but now she can claim the highly-coveted accolade of 'Heaviest bus pulled by human hair'. Asha pulled a 27,000 pound London bus (with 32 people on board) using only her hair. Yep, her actual hair that grows out of her skull. If you've ever had your locks yanked by a grabby toddler, you'll know how much it can hurt. Imagine if that toddler weighed 27,000 pounds... Still, congratulations are due to Asha. But come on, some people have to catch that bus to get to work!

Aston Martin; British design, incredible performance, James Bond, and now... a Thai energy drink? That is because the car makers are starting to work with Red Bull to produce a new 'hypercar'.

You might've heard of the Peel P50, the 1960s micro-car designed and built on the Isle of Man. Only 50 of the one-seater, three-wheeled cars were ever made, and despite the car's odd looks and strange quirks (top speed of 38mph, no reverse gear) it seems to be something of a collector's piece. One recently sold at auction... FOR £150,000! Although the buyer might not have bought it to drive around, should they wish to they could do so very cheaply. Thanks to the Peel's P50's 49cc moped engine, the car is capable of achieving 100 miles per gallon.

Plus, if you own one of these, you'll never have to give anyone a lift or help them move.

Last year we reported on the news story that detailed two computer hackers remotely taking control of a Jeep being driven by a journalist.

Fortunately it was just an experiment, but as cars and vehicle technology become increasingly 'connected', the FBI have finally gotten involved in the US. The Feds recently released a statement warning owners of modern vehicles to keep their car's software updated, but also warned to be cautious when doing so. Last year more than one million Jeep cars were recalled after it was highlighted how hackers could gain control of them, and also BMW quickly fixed a software glitch that could have let hackers open the doors of 2.2 million cars worldwide! If you own a car with advanced software, be sure to keep it updated!

Synonymous with exciting things, such as aeroplane racing, sports teams, and that time an Austrian bloke jumped from a balloon on the edge of space, it seems Red Bull Racing, who operate a Formula One team, know a thing or two about fast cars. The collaboration, which is currently referred to as AM-RB 001 (sexy!) will see the two companies work together to make a production car that will cost an estimated £2-3 million each. Who knows, it might even have wings. Because, as the advert says, 'Red Bull gives you wings'. In our experience it gives you the runs.

TIMES A-CHANGING

We’re moving… hopefully! You may have read the recent press articles about Herbert Todd’s impending move out of the town centre to a new home at Monks Cross, and while there are still a lot of hurdles to jump we hope to be moved in to our new home by Summer time next year. It is not without some sadness that we look to leave our current location of 40 years here in Walmgate, but the pace of residential growth in the area has left us overshadowed and the size of our showroom and warehouse makes further expansion in this location virtually impossible.

imProVements for you With the help of Harrison Developments we look to transport our business geographically in the hope of providing a better showroom environment; one that is easier for our customers to access with more products and dedicated demonstration areas. We also hope to build on our same or next day free delivery pledge by offering a larger selection of stocked warehouse items, and for those that prefer to pick-up, we will have hundreds of items available for immediate takeaway.

So, for now all I can say is watch this space and I will keep you posted as things progress. I hope you will agree there is much to look forward to, but in the meantime we’re still here just off Walmgate where you will always be welcomed with a smile (and a free coffee!). We will continue to develop with new displays being installed - as I write these words - for the latest kitchen appliances and television equipment.  Please drop me a line at enquiry@htodd.co.uk if you have any comments or questions about these exciting changes. Also be sure to visit www.htodd.co.uk

Whoa, whoa… easy there, sticky fingers! Just before you start filling your pockets with the priceless heirlooms contained within the historic stately home, we’re actually talking about things that grow in the gardens. On 14th and 15th May the house will be holding a Spring Plant Fair when horticultural enthusiasts can purchase many varieties of plants and flowers, some of which have been grown on site by the expert team of The National Trust. As well as offering the plants, the team will be on hand to answer any questions you might have, and the house’s gift shop will also be stocked with gardening books and tools. A fun and fascinating weekend for all! Plus, plants are easier to drive away with than a hastily grabbed 18th century chaise longue. Trust us. Call 472027.

If you dream of living in a green, cheap, modern utopia, but have no clue how to go about ditching that busted up old boiler, read on. Organised by St Nick’s Environment Centre, the York Open Eco Homes is a chance for one and all to visit energy-efficient homes in the city and chat to the owners about how they achieved it, taking place on the weekends of the 14th and 21st May. Learn about insulation, low energy lighting, renewable heating, electricity generation, and other green living choices. Be inspired by the event hosts’ stories and get tips on how to give your own home an eco-makeover.  To find out more, visit www.stnicks. org.uk/ecohomes or call 411821.

Nothing beats the scent of fresh flowers. To help them live to their full potential give them clean water every three to four days, ans remove any dead leaves/flowers regularly.

You can also spray fresh flowers with water regularly.

Water sprays can be purchased from most garden centres for less than £5.

Artificial flowers are great because they are low maintenance, and can last for years. To keep them looking good, give them a dust or even lightly vacuum them (not too powerful). Some you can lightly sponge but I would test on an unseen area incase of discolouring. Also keep faux flowers out of direct sunlight as the sun will bleach the colour out of them.

If you find your falsies are lacking that authentic scent, fear not, you can actually buy fake flowers scents. Peony stock a generous range for you to choose from.

Acer palmatum For many hundreds of years Japanese horticulturists have developed cultivars from maples found throughout this region of South East Asia. The first specimens didn’t reach Northern Euorope until the 1820s, and many of these cultivars are readily available from garden centres & nurseries.

There are thought to be over 1000 named cultivars with countless forms, colours, leaf types, sizes, and preferred growing conditions. Heights of mature specimens can range from as little as 0.5 m (20") to over 20m (60ft), depending on type. Some

Some of the best cultivars include:

Bloodgood: A vigorous upright variety of Japanese maple growing to around 5m (15ft), with beautifully lobed leaves that are deep purple-red in summer, Acer palmatum (or turning scarlet in autumn. It needs a sunny or partially Japanese Maple) and its shaded spot which is protected from cold winds. The soil should be moist but well-drained. It is suitable for cultivars are probably the most instantly recognisable growing in a large container, using John Innes No. 3 compost, but must be kept well-watered. of all the autumn colour dissectum garnet: A compact sized variety of Japanese maple growing to plants.

got a gardenin g Question?

Ask

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

Q.

i have quite a few shrubs in my garden with green and yellow leaves. could you help to suggest some shrubs with purple, red, or bronze leaves to compliment them, please?

a.

Purple or red foliage in spring and summer can be extremely useful in the garden, providing that it is not overdone. These relatively sombre colours are particularly effective when contrasted with silver or grey foliage. Even more dramatic effects can be achieved when they are placed alongside plants with yellow or green leaves.

Acer Palmatum Garnet: This strong growing shrub, with an open spreading habit, has slender, dark shoots clothed in large, deep garnet-red leaves with finely cut lobes.

Acer Palmatum Bloodgood: This is similar, but has more of an upright habit. Both of these shrubs prefer semi-shade and dislike dry soils.

Corylus Maxima 'Purpurea': Vase-shaped at first, but spreading later, this popular form of Hazel is planted for its large, deep-purple leaves. Plumes of tiny, smoky pink flowers appear in summer.

Pittosporum Tenuifolium 'Tom Thumb': The dark shoots of this dome shaped dwarf evergreen shrub are crowded with shining, crinklyedged leaves of a deep reddish purple, which initially emerges as green.

Sambucus Nigra 'Black Lace': The deeply divided leaves of this slow-growing shrub are dark purple, turning bright red in autumn. It's pink flowers look beautiful against the purple background.

Hope those help.

Q.

i have a viburnum tinus hedge and last year it was badly eaten during the summer. there are a lot of small holes all over the leaves, which have since turned brown. can you help in any way, please?

a.

This sounds like viburnum beetle and they have become a problem insect

over the past few years. Symptoms include regular holes eaten out of the leaves of native viburnum, viburnum opulus, and viburnum lantana, as well as some exotic viburnum tinus varieties in May and June. Holes are eaten between the main veins, and then the remaining tissue turns brown.

Eggs overwinter in canker-like stems in young stems and hatch in mid-May. Creamy-yellow larvae with extensive black markings then feed on leaves in May and June and grow to a length of about seven millimetres before going to the soi to pupate, which is generally a month after hatching. Adult beetle emerge from the earthen pupal cells in July and August and also feed on the leaves before laying eggs at the tips of year-old shoots. Each female lays several hundreds eggs.

To treat the problem, look out for the first signs of damage in May and June and then spray thoroughly with a contact insecticide to kill young larvae. Repeat the process after a week or so if necessary.

On my hols now; friends, Spanish wine, and beautiful almond blossom scenery! It's to die for...

TONY CHALCRAFT GIVES US THE LOWDOWN ON OUR GARDENS.

Many gardeners grow runner beans and quite a few broad beans. French or dwarf beans on the other hand don’t seem to feature on many plots. This has always puzzled me as French beans are probably the easiest of the beans to grow. They’re also probably the most expensive to buy in the shops and the least challenging to fussy eaters. Broad beans can become chewy or even bitter tasting if left too long on the plant and runner beans can be prone to going stringy. French beans however, providing they’re picked regularly, should remain tender and tasty.

Perhaps the main advantage in growing French beans is that, unlike runner beans, most varieties do not climb and so a fiddly support framework isn’t required. Climbing types are available and I do grow one or two of these, but generally I prefer those that remain ‘dwarf’ reaching no more than 30 centimetres or so in height.

French beans are usually an easy crop as long as you remember these are tender plants that will only grow in the summer months and must not be exposed to frost. I make my first sowing in pots in the greenhouse at the beginning of May and plant out after hardening off at the end of the month or early June when the risk of frost should have passed. I don’t sow outdoors until at least the third week in May, making sure that the soil feels warm and isn’t too wet. Sow too early, or when the soil is sodden, and the beans will rot!

When sowing outdoors I like to grow the beans in rows about 30 centimetres apart with the bean seed placed every five centimetres in the row, at no more than five centimetres deep. If the weather is warm the beans should germinate within ten to 14 days. Birds can occasionally rip beans out as they emerge; crows and magpies seem to be the main culprits, so be prepared to net if these are about. If most of the beans come through, ‘thinning out’ (that is removing weaker plants so that each is spaced about ten centimetres apart in the rows), will give more space and

stronger plants. Otherwise, there’s not much to do other than a bit of weeding until the plants start cropping.

Beans sown in late May should be ready by the end of July. I make several sowings in June and another one in early July.

That way there should be a continuous succession of succulent beans right up until early October.

There are many different varieties to choose from. Some are what is called ‘pencil’ podded, and others flat. Generally I prefer the former as they are less prone to go tough and seem to have more flavour. Most varieties are green coloured, but yellow and purple types are also available. Purple beans look very attractive when picked but be prepared for disappointment – when cooked they turn green! Over the years I’ve grown loads of different varieties, many with exotic sounding names, but my current favourite is one with perhaps the least glamorous name: Stanley. It’s hardy, extremely heavy yielding, and with long beans that snap readily – definitely one to try!

Pond plants are growing furiously with the warmer weather so now is the perfect time to add more plants to your pond.

Plants reduce the amount of green algae in your pond, create a habitat for insects and amphibians, and make ponds look more natural. In the long term they are essential for a balanced ecosystem in your pond. Most pond owners should aim to have a mix of shallow water (or marginal) plants, deep water plants, and oxygenators. For a natural looking pond aim to cover a third of the pond’s surface with plants.

Marginals go on a shelf around the pond. Check the plant’s label as they all have an ideal depth range; you can always raise them up on a brick or an upturned plant basket.

Most plants can be split at the end of the year so you’ll have two or more for next year.

Oxygenators like goldfish weed are a great way to reduce algae and add oxygen.

You might find they grow very quickly and it is a good idea to pull some out For advice call: once they cover a third of the pond. Always compost what you pull out, never throw it into a river or lake.

ks about the trials and Mum of two, Mya, tal and provides helpful tribulations of parenting parents with little ‘uns. information for other

On Good Friday I decided to meet my friends and their little ones for an Easter egg hunt at Rowntree’s Park as the weather was glorious.

Naturally, I thought it was a great idea to take my son on his trike… what a mistake that was! I should’ve known that it’s never wise to leave the pushchair at home.

We set off and all was well.

That is until I made the mistake of walking into a local shop. All of a sudden Shay turned into the Tasmanian Devil; he screamed, cried, kicked and even went as far as sticking his arm out so that he could knock products off the shelf.

No matter what I did I could not calm the little man down. Five minutes into THE temper tantrum of 2016, it got so bad that all the shop assistants came up to me to see if I needed help. Even random strangers gave me that look as if to say: ‘What are you doing to the child?’ Very embarrassing.

I tried cuddling him, bribing him with treats, letting him walk around; but he laid on the floor and screamed even louder. I was at the end of my tether and extremely frustrated, so I decided to ignore him and let him get it out of his system. After an hour and a half he stopped, finally. If you’d like to know why, it is because he fell asleep. He slept through the whole of the Easter Egg hunt and most of the picnic too.

The joys of Motherhood!

Shay and I have been going through teething together for what seems like an eternity. But if your baby is going through the teething nightmare right now don’t panic! I have some great tips to help them get through it.

1. Painkillers for cHildren – not always

something you want to give to your little one, I know – but they can be effective non-the-less. Rub a little sugar-free teething gel on your baby’s gums. It numbs the pain for around 20 minutes. Calpol can also work wonders; just make sure you follow the correct doses.

2. try HomeoPatHic/HerBal teetHing granules, which many mums have found to be effective. A popular brand is Boots’ Teething Pain Relief, a homeopathic formula suitable for all ages.

3.

teetHing rings are great for daytime but can distract babies from sleep on a night.

4.

Vaseline is a winner for stopping night-time soreness around the mouth. don’t Panic. If you have already managed to get your young one to sleep through the night, and they’re now waking up, you may be dismayed at the thought of having to sleep train again. However, you should find that the second time is much easier.

Generally, scarlet fever is rarer than it has been in previous years, but there have been a number of outbreaks recently amongst our kids. Scarlet fever is most commonly found in children under ten years old.

It’s important to catch signs of the bacteria caused illness so that early treatment can be given.

Initial symptoms usually include a sore throat, headache, high temperature, flushed cheeks and a swollen tongue.

A pinkish rash will appear a day or two later and can feel like sandpaper to touch. It will usually start on the tummy and chest.

Scarlet fever usually clears up after about a week, but if you think your little one may have it, see your GP for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. After symptoms show, children can be infectious for up to two weeks, unless they’ve had a course of antibiotics.

Scarlet fever is highly contagious and outbreaks often occur in nurseries and schools where children are in close contact with one another. It used to be a very serious illness, but nowadays most cases are mild and can be easily treated with antibiotics – so it’s worth booking in with your GP if you think your child might have it.

It could be a great way into a new career, and could even take you around the globe. Meanwhile, if you’re looking to improve your English, the centre also needs pupils to take part in the course… for free!

To find out about both of these opportunities, call 324280.

Minster Vets Oh Bishy Road, you just can't stop being awesome, can you?

We firmly believe that one day the council will reorganise the whole of York so Bishopthorpe Road is at the centre of the city, not Parliament Street. Certainly that might happen, if shops like BARE continue to garner such enthusiastic interest. BARE is a shop filled with unique and beautiful things for wee ones, many from across the globe, and all organic, natural and lovely.

There are lots of different kinds of clothing, bedding to (ethically) snuggle up to at night, as well as accessories and gifts to brighten anyone's day, be they big 'uns or little 'uns.  Pop in today or call 07788 245169.

SHOW BACK PAIN YOUR BACK Despite the flooding over Christmas, and despite the fact that Walmgate was hit quite badly, Walmgate Day Nursery still managed to bag a 'Good' rating following an Ofsted inspection in January. After being particularly praised for their excellent interaction with children, well planned routines, and their strong emphasis on encouraging language development, the staff of Walmgate Day Nursery are happy to announce that the restoration work to the building is almost completed, and soon the kiddos will have a brand new pre-school room to explore.  To find out more about how your child could blossom there, email info@walmgatedaynursery.com

If you have a back or spinal problem, often the symptoms will manifest in a place other than your back. Numb hands and feet, shooting pains, a stiff neck; these could all be caused by a back injury or condition. If you are suffering through any of the above, or if you're concerned you might have recently injured your back, the experts at Nuffiled Health York Hospital can help.

As well as a team of expert Physiotherapists, their highly qualified anaesthetists offer pain management intervention. The hospital on Haxby Road has also recently welcomed Mr Kenan Deniz, a leading Consultant Neurosurgeon who can perform a full range of spinal surgeries.  To make an appointment, call 715235 or visit www.nuffieldhealth.com/Yorkhospital

TRACEY PULLEYN OF MINSTER VETS ANSWERS YOUR PET QUESTIONS

Q. i have a brother and sister tabby cat family. the female is spayed but the male is not. the tom cat is starting to take a loving interest in his sister. why is this? surely due to her being spayed she should not be sending out any mating signals?

A. Firstly, I would advise you to contact your vet about this. In very rare occasions a small amount of ovarian tissue can be left behind in the spaying process, especially if the cat was particularly small or in season at the time of neutering. A blood test can detect if there is any ovarian tissue left behind.

However, some cats spayed later in life (over eight months), can still be interesting to the opposite sex as they still may be able to release hormones. Also, cats that have shown this behaviour prior to neutering may continue as it can become a learnt behaviour. It might be best to have the tom cat castrated.

Q. my six week old kitten has fleas. what should i do?

A. I would advise you to contact your vet who will recommend the appropriate treatment that you can use for your kitten. Products on the supermarket shelves are not licensed for cats of that age, and if applied could cause your cat serious harm. The vet may also suggest worming your cat at the same time.

There are lots of things you can do to common misconception by many that acne is something that only affects teenagers. Acne is nondiscriminatory; it can affect anyone regardless of gender, age or ethnicity.

All blemishes and acne start the same way: inside a hair follicle which results in the clogging of the follicle’s pore. The follicle, for an unknown reason that could be related to hormones, stress or even diet, overproduces skin cells, which ultimately clog the pore.

As a general rule, from the age of 35 laughter and frown lines are often already apparent as our skin texture has become uneven and furrows have started to form. From the age of 40-50 we see dry and sagging skin, while from the age of 60 sagging increases, skin loses its suppleness and glow, and wrinkles become more apparent. Here at Kuki we offer a choice of anti-ageing treatments to suit personal preferences and budgets.

tHe wonders of caci For an advanced, non-invasive, non-surgical face-lift we use CACI, an award winning, anti-ageing skin rejuvenating treatment with over 20 years of medical research behind it. Tiny electrical impulses will lift, tone and re-educate the facial muscles, whilst improving skin elasticity and reducing lines.

The new exhibition at the Treasurer’s House explores.

Running from the 6th May, all the way until 31st October, the new exhibition at Treasurer’s House looks at York’s relationship with some of the city’s oldest buildings.

As the son of a wealthy industrialist, Frank Green indulged his passion for history by saving some of York’s finest buildings, including the house in which he lived... the Treasurer’s House.

On Friday 22nd April, York Theatre Royal reopened its doors following a £6million redevelopment by architects De Matos Ryan. The 270 year old theatre will launch with the world stage premiere of Evelyn Waugh’s classic novel Brideshead Revisited, adapted by Bryony Lavery and directed by Damian Cruden.

Founded in 1744, York Theatre Royal is the UK’s oldest producing theatre outside of London and this latest redevelopment has increased access and flexibility to create a building fit for a 21st century audience. It is the first significant change to the building since Patrick Gwynne’s ground-breaking poured concrete and glass extension was added in 1967.

The project has improved access throughout the building, added a spacious open plan foyer and doubled the café area. The gothic colonnade, once exposed to the elements, has been enclosed by glass, creating a warm and inviting entrance. The extended foyer has been reimagined to reflect the ways the community and wider audience engage with the space. New seating areas have been incorporated into the layout with a new café and bistro offering freshly-made deli snacks and main meals with ingredients from the best of local Yorkshire suppliers. Polished terrazzo flooring in grey and white reflects the outlines of the mediaeval foundations remaining below, bringing the history of the building into the modern space.

The main stage has been reconstructed in a modular form, allowing the stage to be adapted or removed entirely, offering a flexibility that is rarely seen in such an historic theatre. The new layout enables traps and level changes to be provided with ease, adding to the versatility of productions and making the theatre more suitable for touring productions and dance companies. Sightlines have dramaticallyBrideshead.pdf improved with a1new18/04/2016 rake to the Stalls 16:25 enhancing the intimacy of the auditorium, and the

Dress Circle and Gallery have received new seating and independently, and additional toilets have been added to cope with the increasing number of and raking to maximise capacity and improve visitors. comfort and sightlines.

Every stage of the redevelopment has been carefully designed to harmonise with the Grade II* listed building and its beautiful patchwork of architectural styles. New and improved access to the Studio and Main Auditorium has been made possible by the installation of a lift concealed behind a 1967 slate wall, allowing wheelchair spaces in both the Stalls and Dress Circle. Improvements to the flooring and toilet facilities enable both audience Machine Stops.pdf 1 18/04/2016 16:24 members and staff to use the building comfortably

The project has been funded by Arts Council England, City of York Council and York Conservation Trust, with generous grants and donations from local and national trusts and foundations, corporate and individual supporters. A further £215,000 has been raised through a public fundraising campaign.

The spring season will see a new programme of events and activities to bring the community and audiences even closer to the work of the theatre. 270/360 will celebrate 270 years of York Theatre Royal with a 360-degree view of the theatre’s activities, including talks, discussions, open rehearsals and meet-the-cast events. There will even be the opportunity to see productions from a completely different angle with A View from Backstage, where tickets will be available to watch Path.pdf 18/04/2016 16:11 from eitherFlare the wings or the 1fly floor.

dine FOR TO

Lets get this out of the way: asparagus makes your wee smell funny.

There, said it. Now that we've moved past that childishness, we can enthuse greatly about the the best asparagus available locally. The Balloon Tree Farm Shop's asparagus crop will be ripe for the picking come mid-May, and you and yours should barrel on down there to pick your own, or pick up a bunch from the shop. Asparagus thrives in their sandy Gate Helmsley soil, being a Mediterranean crop, and it really shows in the delicious taste. And while you're perusing the fresh shoots, the kids can enjoy the brand new attractions in the play area, including a digger, slide, tractor, and climbing frame. And once you're all thoroughly pooped, why not retreat to the cafe for some home-cooked grub and to decide how to prepare your asparagus for tonight's dinner?  Visit www.theballoontree.co.uk or call 01759 373023.

Dinner and a show?

A good night out often involves a slap-up dinner followed by some entertainment. But what if the entertainment became before the food and the show was watching your food get cooked? The Foodies amongst us would prefer that option, and should therefore flock to Tykes Restaurant within Sandburn Hall, Flaxton. The restaurant, which serves the best and freshest of local produce, boasts a ‘theatre kitchen’ where diners can not only pick their own steak or fish, but also watch the talented chefs prepare it for them. It’s a bit like watching one of those fly-on-the-wall documentaries about top chefs, but better… because you get to taste it all! Every night is a great time to dine, but on 22nd May the restaurant will be hosting a special Spring Fete as well.  To find out more, and to book your table, call 469922 or visit www.sandburnhall.co.uk

Has the warmer weather fired up your taste buds for something a little more exotic than fish and chips? If so, a saunter on down to Back Swinegate may be in order. There you'll find the newly opened Las Iguanas, a restaurant brimming with Latin-American vitality and flair. Dedicated sales extraordinaire Shane was there on opening night with his lovely lady, and as you can see from his cherubic little face in the picture, he was rather pleased.

And so he should have been. The expert chefs of Las Iguanas create traditional dishes from across Latin America using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. Diners can also enjoy the classic Las Iguanas’ Caipirinhas cocktails, made from cachaça distilled near Rio de Janeiro. Set over two spacious floors,
