There's a new baby kitten at Starkey HQ. To say that I was scared to get a kitten would be an understatement. It would be the first time that I was solely responsible for a living being. I wasn't sure if I'd learnt enough, done enough, or if I was wise enough to look after a young creature yet. But since he's arrived, I haven't had time to think about it. He's gorgeous and petrifying, a total law unto himself. Wide-eyed, curious, faster than the speed of light, and terribly innocent.

I look at his tiny little head, bobbing around on his slight, fluffy frame and think about all of the horrible things that are out there in the world. He needs protecting.

injustice. You can get it by the bucket load. Yet he's here, he's beautiful, and he doesn't know about any of these horrors. I get to pretend that I don't either, for a few hours a day while we play together. It's a privilege of the century, and that a little seed of hope starts to grow again. I'm delighted to inform Pepe, the kitten, that: "We've got cheese flavoured Dreamieeeessssss!" I hope that you find your respite this month, too. I'd love to hear all about it.

A Family Pass To WIN Jack And The Beanstalk

KILLER SUDOKU!

CHRISTMAS in York wouldn’t be complete without a family outing to the pantomime! York Stage producer, Nik Briggs, is excited to announce his company will be bringing a brand new professional staging of JACK AND THE BEANSTALK to the city this winter. Running from December 11 - January 3 at Theatre @41 Monkgate, York, the 90-minute, the Covid-secure show will feature Ian Stroughair, AKA York’s international drag diva, Velma Celli, as Flesh Creep alongside a host of West End talent from Yorkshire. Covid-secure safety measures will be in place and, for the first time at a York Stage show: perspex safety screens will separate households and support bubbles so audiences can safely enjoy the show.

We’d like to say a big thank you to our new sudoku puzzle man, Stuart. He’s got an extensive background in computational physics, lives right here in York and has kindly offered

For a chance to win a family ticket for two adults and two children, simply answer this question:

Which Yorkshire actor is playing Flesh Creep in Jack and the Beanstalk this Christmas? A) Ian Stroughair B) Martin Barrass The ticket is for four people who must be in the same household or support bubble for opening night Friday 11th December. Send your answer (along with your name, address and contact number) on a postcard marked ‘Jack and the Beanstalk Competition’ to the address on page 6, or via email to competitions@yourlocallink.co.uk. The competition closes on November 30. Good luck!

Horoscopes SCORPIO 23RD OCT - 21ST NOV

Now I wouldn’t want to say that you are revolting, but there is a vibration of rebellion in the Scorpionic ranks, especially for those under the age of 30 or 35. You get very fed up of being told what you can and can’t do, and will feel an intense 22ND NOV ST DEC

SAGITTARIUS - 21

Ummm… November either works for you very well, or it doesn’t work at all, and it all depends on your expectations. Because of this, I would suggest that you do not take anyone or any situation for granted; those situations could change very quickly and with little warning. Please note that finances have to be handled very carefully at this time, and if you’ve got a few extra quid, stash it rather than spending it.

CAPRICORN - 19

Probably quite a tiring month, especially if your energy levels are low and also if you’re under a lot of work pressure. Perhaps you need to work on your time management skills and make the most of whatever leisure time you’ve got. Frankly, there isn’t a lot happening on the social scene, and any travel aspects are likely to be compromised by the C-19 situation. It has to be said that other people might not be as concerned about C-19 as you are. Nevertheless, they’re entitled to their opinion - even if it’s wrong.

20TH JAN TH FEB

AQUARIUS - 18

Sometime before month’s end, you will receive some very important information that gives clarity to your future, especially where careers are concerned. This gives you the green light to start planning the next chapters of your life, which is something you will do with great enthusiasm. Finances are excellent, but don’t let anyone else spend your money for you. TH

Scorpio born people won’t have any problem with any of this, but it has to be said that a tiny percentage will come a cropper, and if that happens, there won’t be too much sympathy coming your way! Romantic impulses are powerful, but are probably more

FEB - 20TH MAR

Despite all the apparent restrictions and concerns, November promises

focused on sexual agendas than the establishment of ‘deep meaningful relationships’ – if you know what I mean! Strangely it is the guys who could take the hardest tumble if they misinterpret the signs on this one. to be a very harmonious and fruitful month for you, especially if you are in the business of building relationships rather than trying to wriggle out of them. Before month’s end, promises and commitments will be made, which will provide you with a much greater degree of confidence and security.

ARIES 21

A rather glum month, I’m afraid, caused by several factors. One is the ongoing COVID situation, two are levels of boredom, three concerns the way that friends and family seem to take you

TAURUS 20

APR - 20TH MAY

Some degree of financial improvement throughout November, but there could be an enhanced degree of work commitments coming at a time when you’d be much happier doing absolutely nothing at all. The dark winter nights are not to your liking, and there will be recurring feelings of isolation and claustrophobia.

GEMINI 21

MAY - 20TH JUN

An easy month, if not an incredibly exciting one. No great highs and no great lows – and you’ll be inclined to be thankful for small mercies. Family matters are high on your agenda, and I would expect some news of a pregnancy or a birth before month’s end. Finances are stable, but there could be some concern over a recurring health problem.

CANCER 21

JUN - 22ND JUL

Despite the COVID restrictions, travel and movement are a regular occurrence throughout the month, especially if you have any overseas links, no matter how tenuous. Females will find their male partners to be irritating and will be inclined to react a bit like Attila The Hen… (planning a daring escape) It lets off some steam but doesn’t endear you to your loved ones.

LEO 23

JUL - 22ND AUG

Some sparkles of tension in affairs of the heart, to remove this tension, there needs to be some frank and honest conversations. Finances are sound, but you will still be inclined to worry, always looking at the dark side, rather than the bright. Having said that, you could benefit from being a bit more flexible and realistic in your career ambitions.

so very much for granted. Arians are not natural rule breakers, but there are times this month when you are going to be sorely tempted, just to shake up the status quo.

AUG - 22ND SEPT

You will be instrumental in making a significant decision which affects the whole family. Once this decision is made, both you and said family will be able to relax with a much clearer idea of where you’re going and how you’re going to get there. Even the most complicated relationships should find a new element of harmony and understanding.

LIBRA 23RD SEPT - 22ND OCT

Despite the restrictions imposed by C-19 November should be a very positive month for you as you come to appreciate some of the more simple things in life. There is harmony in relationships, and for most people, security where jobs and careers are concerned. Singletons should score some high marks where romance is concerned, especially between the 1st and the 6th. For details of private readings phone 01423 339770 Email: jcp@magepublishing.co.uk

WANDERER WALKING WITH THE

Distance:

Getting there

SKIPWITH AND ITS COMMON

This fairly short and entirely flat walk is mainly on Skipwith Common but includes a section through the nearby village and surrounding fields. The 650 acre Common is a National Nature Reserve. With its heathland, woodland and remnants of a past airfield it’s an unusual place with a remote feel. Despite this, most of the walk is on good paths, many with a firm surface. The walk follows a figure of eight pattern and could be divided into two shorter walks if preferred.

Directions

1 Starting from the Sands Lane car park, take the right hand path signed ‘anti-clockwise yellow walk’ going through a kissing gate into trees. Follow the sometimes indistinct path keeping the road to the right and a fenced open area to the left. Go through another kissing gate and, where the path divides, fork left to meet a track coming in from the road. Go left here with an open field visible through trees to the right. Continue to meet a tarmac track. Here turn right over a cattle grid. Soon, pass allotments and houses to arrive at Skipwith village green and pond. 2 Follow the main road ahead passing the Drovers Arms pub until the far side of the village hall on the left. Here take the signed permissive path going along the field edge parallel to the road to a stile in the right corner. Across the stile turn sharp left along the hedge with an open field to the right. Continue in the next field with a garden wall, then trees to the left. Where the path forks go left following a fenced path to emerge on the road by the church.

3 To visit the church, turn right but otherwise go left on the road for 100 metres to take a signed footpath on the right. Go ahead with a wooden fence to the right, then cross a stile to proceed with a hedge to the left. At the next field kink right then left with a hedge to the right. After a plank bridge, over a ditch by an oak tree, go left to a hand gate to enter the common. 4 Go right on a path marked by blue and yellow bands on a post. At a surfaced track: turn right, but in 100 metres where the track goes half left: keep straight on following blue/yellow markers on a post. The route now continues along the edge of the common with fields to the right. Ignore all ways off to the left following the yellow post markers. When a small open concreted area is reached, cross it to go through a hand gate to follow a narrower path through bracken and trees, but still with fields over to the right. At another kissing gate go ahead to a track. Turn right here but in 150 metres (about 50 metres before gates over the track ahead) find a kissing gate on the left marked by a yellow-banded post. Through the gate go ahead guided by a further post indicating the way through the bracken. Soon reach a track leading to a car park.

Miles

23/4 Hours

We suggest starting at Sands Lane car park south of Skipwith village. This is about 11 miles from central York. From York take the A19 to Escrick. Here fork left and continue to pass through Skipwith village to find the car park on the right after about half a mile. It is also possible to start the walk from the King Rudding Lane car park (begin at direction point 5) accessed from the A19 at Riccall. A limited bus service (no. 18 from York Merchantgate) runs to Skipwith village (no Sunday service). Alight at the village green and begin the walk from direction point 2.

Refreshments The only option is the Drovers Arms in Skipwith village, open lunchtimes Wednesday to Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday.

What to see Skipwith Common is a diverse landscape of woodland and open heathland with some marshy areas and ponds. There’s a vast range of wildlife including deer and many specialist plants and insects. Ponies, cattle and sheep graze some areas to maintain the open heathland. Part of the site was a World War II airfield, remnants of which remain. Further information on the common and its history can be found on the Friends of Skipwith Common website at www.friendsofskipwithcommon.org.uk/. St. Helens church in Skipwith is notable for its ancient tower that is part Saxon in origin. The immaculate gardens of the Queen Anne style house Skipwith Hall, which are occasionally opened for public viewing, can be glimpsed through a gate (direction point 2). DISCLAIMER: Walks are undertaken at your own risk. Due care must be taken in following the walk, particularly after poor weather. Whilst every care is taken in compiling the description changes may have occurred since publication. Neither the walk author nor Your Local Link can accept any responsibility for errors or omissions.

Time:

6 Follow the tree-lined, roughly surfaced track ignoring all ways off. Eventually, you arrive back at the point where the walk diverted off the track to follow the edge of the common (point 4). Keep ahead here following the outward route in the reverse direction for a short distance until a prominent track heads off half right.

YORK LIFE

5 Go into the car park and go left to exit on a narrow tarmac track by a large woodpile. Go through a metal kissing gate and cross a concrete area staying with the track until it bends left at a junction. Here there’s a choice: either shorten the walk (in which case go left with the track and follow directions from point 6 below) or continue on a kilometre circuit deeper into the common (in which case take the path to the right by a noticeboard and continue as follows). After 150 metres, at a propeller on a plinth by another noticeboard, go sharp left. Soon there’s a boardwalk on the right giving access to a viewing area (no through route). The way then bends left eventually returning you to the tarmac track. Here turn sharp right onto the track.

7 Take this sandy, easily followed track that leads more or less straight across the common often with open heathy areas on both sides. After about a kilometre this pleasant way reaches the Sands Lane car park accessed through a gate.

Well, that's GOOD! A York care home is celebrating after being awarded an overall rating of GOOD by the CQC (Care Quality Commission) on their first-ever inspection. Handley House, which opened in 2019 has hit the spot in all five areas of care: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. Staff at the home on Green Lane in Clifton were highly praised, as relatives told the CQC that Handley House 'is a caring environment where residents are real people for carers, not a job'. The inspectors were impressed with the care team's commitment to ensuring their resident's safety throughout the coronavirus pandemic, noting their dedication to testing, infection control, PPE and training whilst also mentioning how they have worked together to support one another over the last few months. Residents' loved ones were

PIRATES Micklegate has gained a new mini pop-up arts and crafts market. The collaboration between Space Invaders, Nelson Bakery and York Candle Company has given birth to a new project: Pop Up Pirates. The project will see artisan makers and bakers utilise empty spaces around York, turning the buildings into vibrant pop-up markets. And until a redevelopment early next year, the new market at 111 Micklegate will be open daily from 10am-5pm (10am-4pm on Sundays) with the cafe opening earlier on weekdays. So far there have been candles, art, garden crafts, vintage fabrics and illustrations on offer, alongside tasty treats from the café. Pop Up Pirates events manager, Matthew Chalk, said: "When we were offered this location, we saw the potential to build a space not just for ourselves, but also for so many other local artists, crafters and traders to safely showcase their work to the public. The

location on Micklegate is perfect for this. It's accessible to the public and a safe outdoor environment. Thanks to Space Invaders and Social Vision, we were able to launch this brand new and vibrant artistic community. Even though we have only just started, the response from both artists and the public has been amazing. As such, we will look to continue to grow this project and community even after the site is redeveloped. Our focus is on quality handmade products only, and ensuring a great mix of products every day." The market is affordable for local traders, too: "It's £10 per weekday and £20 per weekend day. We want to keep things as risk-free as possible for our artists given how tough this year has been for everyone, and this venture is all about supporting the local arts/crafts community." If you're a local trader specialising in handmade products and would like to book a slot, email yorkshireartisans@gmail.com.

YORK

Sideline envy, speculation over the big move and praise for sell-on clauses are all on the agenda this month for our resident sports writer and York City F.C. fan. At the time of writing this column, it's been an excellent start to the season for York City following mixed results during a very short pre-season, not to mention the turnaround of players.

following Tuesday was a different game altogether - playing at an eery Bootham Crescent under the twinkling Tuesday night lights without a crowd. It was an excellent performance, finally There's something strange about notching a win against newly kicking off the season with an FA relegated Chorley at the fifth Cup qualifier at Warrington Rylands, time of asking.

followed City all these years. One positive that has happened in the last month is the much-needed money received from the sale of Ben Godfrey in the transfer window with his move from Norwich to Everton. He's become a great player, and the estimated income is massive for any club in the lower echelons of the football pyramid, particularly in a time of uncertainty. Moving forward it should be a ruling for the bigger clubs to include mandatory sell-on clauses when buying youth from the smaller clubs. The windfall it could generate is enormous and could stop your Burys and Macclesfields from folding like they have. Food for thought...

In rugby-related news, what a mad year it has been for York City Knights with their season being cancelled and the building for next season already well underway. There are some inspiring additions to the squad including Brendan O’Hagan from the NRL in Australia as well as current Leeds Rhinos captain Adam Cuthbertson, which shows determination from a club that’s moving in a very exciting direction. Something special is happening with the Knights. Not only is it exciting for the City of York but the squad being built by James Ford is a side that is destined to be playing Super League. Now, what a mouthwatering thought that is.

as possible, and some new trees will be planted, too. The upgrade of the road and the roundabouts will help to reduce congestion and journey times, encouraging traffic out of the city centre. Deputy Leader of the Council and Executive Member for Transport, Cllr Andy D’Agorne, said:

If you drive around York, there’s a high chance that you’ve spent time on the northern part of the York Outer Ring Road waiting in traffic. But it looks like we won’t have to wait much longer. Following approval from the Department of Transport, City of York Council is in the final business case stage of the £25 million improvement scheme, and they need your opinions. The council is asking residents, businesses and visitors for their views on the proposed upgrade from A19 Shipton Road to the A1036 Little Hopgrove. The five roundabouts that will benefit from the scheme are Clifton Moor, Wiggington Road, Haxby Road, Strensall Road and Monks Cross. The existing single carriageway will be widened to dual carriageway roads in both directions. There will also be an extensive landscape programme to keep existing trees and hedges as much

“Residents, businesses and visitors have been calling for upgrades and specifically dualling of the York Outer Ring Road for some time, and we recognise the impact that congestion has on all users. “These upgrades give us a great opportunity to integrate sustainable travel infrastructure into a significant part of the city’s road network. By providing a more attractive option, it will also help reduce the number of journeys through the city, allowing us to create a better environment for people to walk and cycle, whilst helping to improve air quality. “Creating safe walking and cycling routes alongside and across the ring road will also help to make possible more sustainable transport options for residents of the outer villages and reduce severance impact of the ring road.” Share your views online at www.york.gov.uk/yorr. The consultation closes on Monday 16 November 2020.

HAVE YOURSELF A SAFE CHRISTMAS The Christmas period is fast approaching, and for many of us, that means festive meals, mulled wines and a bit more booze than we’re used to. For those of us that drive, it’s essential to make sure that we’re clear-headed the morning after and safe to drive. This gadget is our most sensible yet: The AlcoSense Excel Fuel Cell Breathalyzer can accurately tell you if you’re safe to drive. Featuring a 64mm2 Fuel Cell Sensor - a smaller version of the one that police use, and a super easy to use operating system - it could be a

life-saving investment for you this Christmas. Due to the nature of drinking alcohol, you can’t use the breathalyser within 90 minutes of having a drink due to fluctuating blood alcohol levels. Still, it’s certainly your best bet the morning after. • The AlcoSense Excel retails at £99.99 and is available from Amazon and alcosense.co.uk.

SEEING IS BELIEVING We don’t know about you, but here at YLL HQ, we love Christmas telly. And there’s a high chance that we will be watching even more of it this year with potential lockdown restrictions. The Samsung Frame TV is the perfect gift for anyone looking to combine a love of art and design with quality entertainment this Christmas. Binge-watching content on TV apps – including Netflix, BT Sport, Disney+ and Apple TV has never looked so good. When not in use, this innovative TV can showcase personal Christmas memories

by displaying selected photos or turn into a personal gallery with Art Mode. Samsung’s AI based auto-curation feature, the ‘Art Store’ can cleverly suggest a festive scene or artwork that is perfectly suited anyone’s taste or décor. • Samsung’s Frame TV Range is now available in sizes 32”, 43”, 50”, 55”, 65” and 75” from £599.

BUILD BACK BETTER York Business Week is back on a virtual basis for 2020. Now in its tenth year, the event runs from 9-13 November. This year’s theme is ‘Build Back Better’ and focuses on economic recovery across York’s key sectors, inspiring growth and offering opportunities to spark creativity and innovation. All events at York Business Week are free of charge this year. Topical seminars, thoughtprovoking workshops, online networking opportunities and the city’s first virtual York Business Conference will offer something for all York businesses. From sole traders to global companies, business people can access industry-leading insights from the comfort of their own offices or remote working spaces. Greg Dyke, Chair of Make It York, said: “Many businesses have faced overwhelming challenges in recent months, across all aspects of their operations. It is important now, in this time of economic recovery, that we look forward as a city, showcase our collective strengths and be ambitious about how we drive

growth for the future. York Business Week is an important annual event in the city’s business calendar which reminds us of our city’s strengths and supports our businesses to build back better.” Executive member for Economy and Strategic planning, Cllr Andrew Waller, said: “This is an important time for the city’s businesses to come together and get the support and information they need to continue their recovery. We are determined to work with Make It York and other partners to overcome the challenges presented by Covid-19 and enable York Business Week to make a virtual return. The programme offers relevant, timely and responsive information for businesses from all sectors and to help the city with our goal of building back better."

If you’ve transferred your Final Salary (or Defined Benefit Pension), you might have made a big mistake. We don’t mean it Julie Wilson, was a mistake to transfer your pension – straight-talking Yorkshire there are often compelling reasons to do financial planner so. And often compelling reasons not to. Anyway, if you have transferred it’s too late to do anything about it now. We’re not talking about that. What we’re finding is that clients made the right choice to transfer. But the mistake they made was is the choice of adviser. Now don’t get us wrong. Most UK advisers do care and will do a good job. But a significant number of advisers only care about the initial sale, not the ongoing service. It’s a shame, but it does happen. All our advisers have clients like this. They were promised the world initially, but only the bare minimum – if that - is done after that. If we ever advise clients to transfer their final salary pensions, we have a rigorous process which ensures the advice is and – equally important - remains suitable. This usually involves ‘Cash Flow Forecasting’. This type of forecasting maps out how much money you can expect to receive over a period of time. It takes into account predicted future growth and current/future withdrawals so you know how long your money will last you. This is a must-have. So if you’re receiving investment advice, which doesn’t include Cashflow Forecasting speak up! Our reviews also include ‘Lifestyle Planning’. This style of advice is relatively fresh in the UK. It sounds pretty airy fairy. But it’s just making sure you’re including your personal life goals and dreams in your financial plan. So what should you do? Check your position. Make sure if you’re paying for a service, you’re getting a complete and thorough one. If not, you need to take action. And you can start by requesting the book below. It’s never been more important to have absolute confidence in your financial plans and to know you have everything covered.

TREAT YOURSELF Matt Todd of Herbert Todd & Son brings us up to scratch. No matter what your thoughts are on the rights and wrongs of lock-downs, circuit breakers, curfews and all the other mechanisms to curb our love of social gatherings, one thing is for sure, life is not as we knew it. We are all exploring new ways to enjoy ourselves, given the restrictions imposed on us. For Herbert Todd’s as a home appliance and kitchen store, this has led to an explosion of interest in new kitchens and television rooms but also utility rooms and bathrooms - all of which we can help with. With cinemas shut, you may want a bigger screen to watch the re-runs of Geordie shore (unlikely!) or a surround sound speaker so you can enjoy old Bond movies like never before – we can help you with this and for less money than you might think. Likewise we have now installed enough kitchens in York to understand that we are very reasonably priced when you look at the national competition. A 50% off offer may not be so great when you read the small print, it might be nicer

LOCAL EXPERT MATT TODD

to do without the high-pressure sales techniques and have an honest, and reasonable, price to start with! If your kitchen is a bit dated, why not have a quick chat with Mel, our designer, to see what can be done to make your space more user friendly and comfortable to live in. You might be surprised at the affordability of some of our designs. Getting in touch couldn’t be easier; by phone on 01904 628676, by email enquiry@htodd.co.uk or by popping into one of our stores. We all need something to look forward to right now, and if it’s not spending quality time with friends and family or a trip abroad, it might be time to treat ourselves and our homes to a little bit of TLC!

Your Local Link’s resident bathroom expert, Mel Collier from Karemel Bespoke Bathrooms, is talking about The C Word, but does she mean Christmas or Covid-19?

So far, I have avoided the mention of Covid-19 because it seems that it’s all we hear about at the moment and it has had very little to do with bathrooms - up until now! With Christmas fast approaching people would usually be thinking of having a new bathroom installed before their guests arrive over the festive period, and here at Karemel Bespoke Bathrooms Ltd, we would be bracing ourselves for the last-minute rush. This year, it won’t be happening for two reasons. The first, and most obvious reason, is that if the rule of 6 continues, visitors won’t be coming into our homes, so why the rush? The second is that the global pandemic has had such an impact worldwide that actually getting products to install is proving more and more difficult. We’ve so far had to live through a plaster shortage, a timber shortage and now some manufacturers are struggling with sanitaryware. In my lifetime, I have never known anything

LOCAL EXPERT MEL COLLIER

like it. I’m not telling you this to put you off installing your new dream bathroom - far from it. I’m just asking that if you do want a new bathroom this year, don’t leave it until the last minute to make the decision. Spaces are filling up fast, and we are still in uncertain times. I would hate anybody to be disappointed. Also, if you do want a new bathroom, keep in mind your local installers and your local suppliers. At Karemel Bespoke Bathrooms Ltd, our products are all supplied by local merchants. They have supported us through some tough times of late, and it is our duty to support them and keep the local economy turning.

YOUR HOME & GARDEN

Betting With Beans In last month’s column on our increasingly confusing weather, I suggested that one of the few changes to show some consistency is a trend to milder winters. I ventured that this provides an opportunity for fruit and vegetable growers to push the boundaries, to try growing crops beyond those previously considered hardy enough to withstand the rigours of a ‘normal’ Yorkshire winter. One such crop is broad beans. A few gardeners in the York area regularly try these outside through the winter, often with some success. Others, such as me, have had disappointing results and given up. I last tried sowing broad beans in autumn about 15 years ago. This ended in failure. By February many of the plants had succumbed with the rest - sad and bedraggled. The eventual crop was poor and only arrived a week or so earlier than that from beans started in the spring.

Over the last few years on trips around local allotments, I’ve seen quite a few plots with fine crops of overwintered broad beans. It has led me to have a rethink. Although I’m not usually a gambling gardener, the odds now seem good enough to take a punt on overwintering. If you’re not familiar with the idea of ‘overwintering’ broad beans, it’s the practice of starting broad beans in the autumn and having them grow slowly through the winter months. The idea is to give the plants a head start so that they crop sooner the following summer. There are two main ways of doing this. One option is to sow the seeds outside in the ground. Mid-October to early November is the usual time. The other option is to sow a little later in pots under cover, for example in a greenhouse. The seedlings can go out when the weather begins to warm in late winter. The disadvantage of the first option is that germination can be poor, and the plants are exposed to the elements all winter. The latter method is more reliable at getting plants started, but seedlings can ‘draw up’ in a greenhouse during the darker months, becoming elongated. When planted out, the spindly plants are easily blown

flat. Having been mollycoddled inside, they’re also more vulnerable to frost if there’s a cold snap. Whichever option you choose, it’s important to get the right variety of broad bean. Most types intended for spring sowing lack the toughness to survive outdoors through the winter, so using one that’s been bred for winter hardiness is essential. Aquadulce Claudia is the standard choice. It’s also essential to guard against rodents. These may steal newly sown beans or uproot young plants to get at what’s left of the seed once germinated. Try too, to protect the plants if it turns very cold. Fleece or similar material thrown over seedlings can make a big difference. And if raising seedlings undercover don’t neglect to ‘harden off’ (gradually expose to outside temperatures) before planting outside. These measures will maximise the chances of success, but it’s ultimately down to the weather. While not the

EXPERT

Tony Chalcraft betting type, the recent run of mild winters have convinced me it’s worth a shot. A fine crop of broad beans in early June is not a dead cert, but it’s certainly worth the stake of a packet of seed.

Got a gardening question? Ask CHRIS BROWN from BROWN NURSERIES

BROWN NURSERIES

If you have a question for Chris, please email info@yourlocallink.co.uk or call Chris on 766266. Q. I’m looking for some trees with a nice autumn colour to brighten my garden in the future please? Having a day off at the weekend has given me a chance to go round a few gardens so last weekend we went round Thorpe Perrow Arboretum to look at autumn colour trees at their best. Acer Grisium “Chinese Paperbark Maple” famous for its peeling papery orange-brown bark, This maple has a characteristic three-parted leaf that turns orange and red in the autumn. The branches are ascending at first, spreading later. It is excellent for growing in a border or a large lawn. Amelanchier Lamarcii is a magnificent tree and has two main seasons of interest. Spring when the bushy crown is a cloud of white blossom and autumn when it is ablaze with red and orange foliage, one of the most reliable trees for autumn colour. Cercidiphyllum Japonicum. This is a lovely tree of graceful spreading habit with slender branches, its neatly rounded paired leaves are bronze when they first unfurl, changing through

Blue-Green in summer to yellow, pink or purple in autumn. Dislikes dry soils. Cotinus “Royal Purple” This can be a small bushy round-headed tree or a large multi-stemmed shrub, the striking leaves are wine-purple in summer colouring to a brilliant orange-red later. Large plumes of purplish-pink flowers are produced in summer. Liquidamber “Lane Roberts” one of the darkest and most reliable of all autumn colouring trees, this handsome specimen of conical, later spreading habit has shining green maple-like leaves that turn through a range of colours from pale orange to deep red-purple. Parrotia “Persica” The Persian ironwood will eventually become a broad spreading tree with piebald bark. It produces small red flower clusters in late winter or early spring, and its glossy green leaves turn yellow,

orange and red-purple in autumn. It was a beautiful day out in the autumn sunshine with lovely walks between the avenues of trees and shrubs. Q. I believe Fusarium Wilt has killed my passionflower and at least two Acers which I have removed. I can’t seem to find any fungicide treatment for this and currently have the soil covered in black plastic, do you have any advice on how I might treat it, or how long to leave the plastic on before I can replant? Fusarium Wilt affects many plant types, but tomatoes and potatoes are most susceptible. Also known as stem rot, it moves into plants through their roots, and from there it clogs the plant’s passageways blocking the flow of water, nutrients and vital fluids until wilting and eventual death of the plant. Other Fusarium Pathogens attack

Chris Brown

different plants such as brassicas palms and many shrubs and trees, unlike other wilt diseases fusarium wilt often shows up only on one side of a plant branch or leaf. Bottom leaves show symptoms first. As the disease spreads upwards, the plant wilts, turns brown and drops its leaves, stems near the base show clogged vascular pathways and dark brown streaks if you cut them. Once fusarium wilt infects a plant, there is no effective treatment. Remove and dispose of affected plants immediately. DON’T compost this garden waste. Whenever possible, remove and replace fusarium-infected garden soil. If fusarium wilt hits your garden don’t plant the same related plant types in that area for at least four years depending on your climate It may be possible to control fusarium wilt by “solarizing” your soil. This involves covering it with plastic so that it reaches very high temperatures over a long period (at least a month). Keep your garden tools and boots clean and free from soil contaminated tools. Footwear can spread fusarium pathogens to fresh soil. Hope this helps Hillary.

HAVE A HOME? THESE CUTIE PIES NEED ONE. BOBBY Around 18 months old When Bobby came to the adoption centre, he was a timid and unhappy boy. While he’d still much rather be anywhere else, he’s settled himself in nicely and LOVES a fuss, as long as he doesn’t have to get out of bed! He really is one of the sweetest cats you’ll meet, once he’s realised you’re there to give him some love (and maybe a Dreamie or two) he’ll be a puddle of purrs and you’ll find it so hard to leave him. PONCHO AND JORTS 3 years old At the Adoption Centre, Poncho and Jorts are a quiet pair, taking their time to get comfortable and making the most of the free food! Jorts is the most confident of the couple and can usually be tempted out of bed with the promise of a chin scratch! Poncho, on the other hand, is much happier just to observe at the moment but we reckon he’s just giving his brother a chance at all the attention before he joins in too.

FRIGHTENING FIREWORKS Loud bangs, bright flashing lights and highpitched whistles are a recipe for stress for many pets on Bonfire Night. The RSPCA estimates that 45% of dogs in the UK show fear when they hear fireworks. While there might be less professional displays this year, we’re anticipating that there might be some more private parties. Therefore fireworks are likely to be closer to home and more frequent throughout the evening. But don’t panic! There are plenty of steps you can take to ease your pets’ stress ahead of bonfire night.

PETRIFIED POOCHES Walk your dog during daylight hours. Close windows and curtains. Put the TV or some music on to gently mask the sound of fireworks. Make sure there are hiding places around the house for your pooch. SCAREDY CATS Plan to keep your cat in on bonfire night. Make sure they’re microchipped in case they do get out and go for a run. Make sure there’s plenty of places to hide. For more information, visit rspca.org.uk.

YOUR FAMILY

Do you have a particular smell that takes you back in time? Perfumedirect.com’s latest survey has revealed the most iconic scents of the past five decades. They asked 2000 UK adults to vote for the top fragrances of each decade. Strap in, we’re going on a trip down memory lane.

The 70s

There were some clear classics from the 70s that stood out to our senses. YSL’s Opium, Anais Anais, Chanel No.19, YSL Rive Gauche and Charlie Blue.

The 80s

As the fashions of the 80s got bolder, so did the scents – with Calvin Klein’s Obsession, Poison by Dior, Paris (YSL), Coco, Beautiful Estee Lauder, Ysatis (Givenchy) and Cool Water all voted as 80s classics.

The 90s

The 90s introduced exciting new technology, some great music, movies, and television, as well as some fresh and fruity new fragrances. The clear winner was CK One by Calvin Klein.

The noughties

Celebrity fragrances became a thing, but it’s not these that we remember most. Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel, Mugler’s Alien (2005), J’Adore (Christian Dior), Allure (Chanel), Light Blue (Dolce & Gabbana), Flowerbomb (Viktor & Rolf), Black Orchid (Tom Ford) all topped the list.

The 2010s

And the 2010s saw the launch of some super fragrances including Aventus Creed, Love by Chloe, Bleu de Chanel, Daisy (Marc Jacobs), and Chanel Chance. Jonny Webber from www. PerfumeDirect.com, who carried out the research, explains why some perfumes can define an era.

“Sense of smell is linked to the part of the brain that is responsible for emotion and memory, so perhaps more so than music and fashion, perfumes evoke strong feelings of nostalgia. “When looking back over the past 50 years, perfume is up there alongside fashion, music and film when it comes to defining the mood of the nation. In fact, some fragrances became cult products because they reflected what was going on in the world at the time. “Floral based fragrances are said to be popular in times of uncertainty or naivety, whilst those from the Chypre family (warm, mossy scents with citrus top notes) have often emerged following dramatic events or tragedies such as war or recession. In contrast, Oriental fragrances are often seen as feel-good scents which are popular during more light-hearted ‘party’ eras.

So what does Perfume Direct predict as the iconic scents of the 2020s? Mood-boosting scents are big sellers for 2020. Scents containing fragrances that can have a positive effect on your brain, such as Ylang-ylang, jasmine, citrus, vanilla and rosemary are all hugely popular right now. The unisex appeal and highly recognisable smell of Tom Ford’s Black Orchid is already making it something of a cult icon in the fragrance market, and a scent likely to appear high on the 2020s list.

Growth Scan We recommend serial growth scans during pregnancy at 28, 32 and 36 weeks in order to monitor your baby’s growing velocity pattern.
