Fit 4 Life Healthy living project funded by 8 Cooking Seasonal Recipe Try this variation on summer pudding making the most of the early Autumn fruits, such as plums, blackberries and delicious English apples. Serve with softly whipped double cream flavoured with a splash of Calvados for a really indulgent dessert. Place the sugar and 200ml of cold water in a large pan and heat gently until the sugar has dissolved. Add the sliced apples and simmer for 5-10 minutes until just tender. Add the rest of the fruit and simmer for a further 2-3 minutes. Leave to cool. Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Use a round cookie cutter to stamp out a circle from one slice of bread to fit the base of a 1.2 litre pudding basin. Cut the remaining slices of bread in half. Carefully strain half of the fruit syrup from the cooled fruit into a shallow dish. Lightly dip most of the slices of bread into the syrup and arrange around the side of the pudding basin, overlapping them slightly to completely line the basin. Dip the bread circle into the syrup and press into the bottom of the basin. Spoon the fruit into the lined basin, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon. Use the remaining slices of bread to cover the fruit filling completely and spoon over any remaining syrup. Place a saucer on top of the basin and weigh it down with 2-3 food cans. Chill in the fridge overnight. To serve, carefully turn the pudding out onto a plate and decorate with extra sliced fruit.

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director John Kendall feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service WKH0DQVÀHOG &KHVWHUÀHOGDUHDVDQG -RKQLVÀQGLQJWKDWKLV approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give John a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help! 78)%1)(94(39&0)+0%>-2+# (SR´XVITPEGIXLI*VEQIWNYWXXLI4ERIW &VSOIRSV(EQEKIH;MRHS[W# *EYPX],MRKIW,ERHPIWSV0SGOW# ;ERX8LI0EXIWX)RIVK]7EZMRK+PEWW# %PP+PE^MRK&EGOIH&]3YV =IEV1ERYJEGXYVIVW+YEVERXII 4VMSVMX]*VIITLSRI [[[GPSYH]GPIEVGSQ [IQEOIWEZMRKQSRI]TIVJIGXP]GPIEV 1 Interiors - Curtain Poles 7 Top Tips For Choosing & Fitting Curtain Poles by Alison Constantine of Atmospheric Interiors 1. Always choose a pole suitable for the weight of your curtains. In general full length made to measure lined curtains will be medium to heavy weight and will need a pole with a diameter of 28mm as a minimum. Black out and Thermal linings are heavier than standard linings and will add considerable weight to your curtains. 2. Generally speaking the availability and choice of curtain pole does reduce considerably after 3.6m (12ft) and for wider windows you will need to speak to a specialist supplier. It`s better to take advice initially, than to spend money on a pole which starts to bow under the weight of your curtains 3. Care with telescopic poles, the join between the poles should always be in the centre as otherwise, the curtain will catch on the join whenever you try to open and close the curtains. Don`t forget that one curtain will also appear longer than the other as the telescopic centre pole is at a different height to the outer pole. For this reason, we do not recommend telescopic poles. 4. To get a good fixing when fitting your curtain pole, make sure you are using the rights screws and plugs for the type of wall. Generally, the screws and plugs supplied with your curtain pole will be for use on a solid wall. So if you live in a modern house you will find that the wall construction above the window is plaster board followed by a void area followed by a solid block wall. If this is the case, our top tip is to drive the plug through the void so it fixes into the solid wall behind. Don`t forget to use the correct type of plugs for plaster board and a longer screw to allow you to fix into the solid block work. 5. The maximum space between the bracket and the finial should be 2.5cm/1in – just enough space for one curtain ring 6. Ideally the curtain pole should be 15-30cm/6in-12in past the window on either side 7. If your do not have space for face fixing brackets, some curtain poles have ceiling brackets or recess brackets as an alternative. Again this is a specialist option for do seek advice on this. If we can be of any further help at Atmospheric Interiors in Mansfield please either ring or call into the shop.

The first 12 weeks are particularly important as this is when your baby goes through major developments in a very short period. By looking after your body from the moment you start thinking about becoming pregnant you will be laying good foundations for the months ahead as your body changes. Eating healthily A healthy body weight is important for fertility. Being too overweight or underweight can affect the hormones needed to stimulate ovulation. A well-balanced diet will give you the best chance of conceiving. You should eat plenty of potatoes and pasta to provide complex carbohydrates, at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day and three portions of dairy, such as yoghurt and cheese. You should also include 2-3 portions of protein in the form of meat, fish or cooked lentils a day, too. You only need a small amount of fatty foods to gain their benefits, such as avocados, nuts and fatty fish. Drink plenty of fluids - around two litres a day. This should be mainly water, but milk, herbal teas and fruit juices are also good. Keep your kitchen clean and always cook food well to avoid infections such as Salmonella and Listeria. You should start taking folic acid supplements as soon as you can and check with your GP to see if they recommend any other vitamins. Foods to avoid: Cut down on salty, sugary and fatty foods as they provide very little health benefit. Avoid blue cheese such as Stilton and Gorgonzola or those which have a soft rind of mould, such as Camembert, as well as pates as these tend to contain liver and liver products. Avoid eating raw fish, such as Sushi and shellfish such as oysters and make sure all fish is well cooked to kill off bacteria or viruses. Always check that food is well cooked, including eggs. Your GP should be able to give you an extensive list of what to avoid. Relaxation Deciding to have a baby is the first step to a major life change. You may not become pregnant as quickly as you hoped, but it’s important to try and remain relaxed. Prioritise your tasks, make sure you give yourself enough ‘downtime’ and pamper yourself. Some people find meditating is a wonderful way to calm the mind and think positively. Exercise If you exercise regularly there is no need to stop this until the later months of your pregnancy, unless your GP advises otherwise or you take part in extreme sports. If you don’t do much exercise, now is a good time to start some gentle activities. Regular, moderate exercise (30 minutes, three times a week) can improve your physical well being and mood and ensure your body is in good shape for pregnancy. It will also help you to build stamina and become supple and flexible, which will help you during labour. Swimming, walking and yoga are all good exercises if you’re just starting out. By starting early, you are giving your baby the best chance of a healthy time in the womb, leaving you to enjoy your pregnancy.

Surprisingly, property disputes arise even though we do have relatively flexible property ownership in England and Wales. Problems occur mainly because the parties’ intentions are not reflected in the legal ownership to the property and there is no written declaration of the owners’ intentions. There is no body of law specifically tailored for cohabiting couples and the courts’ basis for resolving these disputes is set in the law of contract and/or Trusts which has developed over many years. Property ownership is not automatically assumed between cohabiting couples regardless of the length of time the parties live together. Although newspapers very often refer to cohabiting parties as “common law husband” or “common law wife” these terms are meaningless in the legal sense and do not have any legal standing or recognition. Put simply if your name is not on the title deeds to the property you will need to persuade a court that the intention was for the equity in the property to be shared between you. This will require you seeking expert advice from a solicitor as soon as possible. Disputes can also arise when parents who provide a deposit for a ‘child’ towards the purchase of a property seek to recover this at a later date - usually if the child and his/her partner are going through a divorce or separation. All parties who are involved in the initial purchase – parents and ‘child’ - should take legal advice as to how to achieve what they intend including how to pre-empt problems if something should go wrong. Disputes can be avoided by entering into a written declaration either at the time of purchasing the property/ when cohabitation commences or any time thereafter. Even where you have a written declaration of trust you can update this to record changing circumstances. If you have any doubts or queries about your legal position do not delay and contact Bryan & Armstrong to discuss your concerns. We have an experienced team of property advisers to assist you.

Normally a moorland and farmland bird, Buzzards can now be seen along motorway verges and dual carriageways and are a common sight as they soar effortlessly on the thermal wind currents looking for a potential meal. A Buzzard’s diet consists of rabbits, lizards, worms, beetles, small mammals and carrion such as ‘road kill’ victims, hence the reason you now see it along roadsides. In fact, a few weeks ago, I personally saw a large male Buzzard perched on the road sign at junction 28 M1 at rush hour without a care in the world and totally oblivious to the cars and heavy freight trucks thundering by. The likelihood for its increase in numbers is probably due to the banning of Myxomatosis in the control of rabbits which is the Buzzards favourite food, plus more cars on the road, means more ‘road kill’. Sometimes, people mistake these large birds for Eagles, but the Eagle has much more splayed primary feather, is much bigger in size and is usually seen only in wild moorland and mountain regions such as the Scottish Highlands. Female buzzards will lay 2-3 eggs in April/May and like all birds of prey, in a good year all will survive, but in a poor year for hunting, probably only one will make it to adulthood. So their numbers are kept in check by mother nature, rather than the gamekeepers shotgun in these enlightened times. So the next time you are out and about on your travels and you see a large eagle like bird soaring in circles above a field or roadside verge, the chances will be it is the Common Buzzard on the lookout for another meal.
