Energetic volunteers from a Corby-basedcompany have been tackling an area ofovergrown land at Fineshade Wood, with the

aim of transforming it into a working garden forlocal children with learning disabilities.

Since July last year, members of staff from RSComponents have been regularly getting their handsdirty digging, weeding, removing stones and clearingout a pond in an area which will be divided up intoindividual plots for the children to grow vegetablesand flowers. In addition to growing produce, thegarden area will be used by local schools wanting toparticipate in activities which will enhance pupils’understanding of nature and the environment.

Barbara Algeo, Internal Communications Advisor atRS Components, said: ‘As one of the largestemployers in the Corby area, we are keen to givesomething back to the local community. Our workwith the Forestry Commission represents a fantasticopportunity to do this and we are really pleased withhow it is going. A number of departments havealready been involved, and more people areexpressing an interest now that the project hasgained momentum.’

Barbara, who was responsible for setting up theproject, added: ‘I would highly recommend thiskind of voluntary activity to other companies. Ourwork has brought together people from all areas ofthe business, enabling them to get to know each

other and acting as an extremely effective team-building exercise. As well as benefiting from somehearty exercise in the great outdoors, ourvolunteers feel hugely satisfied knowing that theirefforts will make such a big difference to localchildren with learning difficulties.’

To boost the progress of the Fineshade Woodschools project, RS Components invested ingardening equipment for the site and visited weeklybetween July and October. During the cold, unsettledweather, gardening work has slowed down, however,RS fully understands that the garden needs to bemaintained by continuous digging and weeding, andis fully committed to carrying out these tasks on anongoing basis.

Sarah Walker, Visitor and Communities ServicesManager at Top Lodge, Fineshade Wood, said: ‘Thevolunteers’ efforts are paying off now as the gardenarea is really starting to take shape. It looks somuch better than it did before RS Componentsbegan working with us. We’re tremendously gratefulfor all the hard work everyone has been putting intothe project.’

Sarah continued: ‘There are various ForestryCommission projects which would benefit from thesupport of volunteers, so if you or your company isinterested in volunteering in this way, please get intouch.’ Contact Sarah Walker on 01780 444920 oremail [email protected]

an ancient EgyptiandiscoveroasisThere's more to Egypt than the pyramids of Giza - the only surviving wonder of the ancient world - anda trip deep into the western desert reveals one of its less well- known treasures.

Athree-hour drive south from the coastal townof Marsa Matruh, and 350 miles south-westof bustling Cairo, Siwa Oasis is a dust-

coloured settlement surrounded by date palmsand olive groves that appears to have changedlittle in centuries.

But the 'oasis of a million palm trees' is more than apatch of green in the middle of an expanse of sandydesert. It boasts several ancient ruins, including theTemple of the Oracle and its own 'mountain of thedead' with tombs dating back to Roman and ancientEgyptian times. Climbing that mountain, Gebel al-Mawta, gives a great view of the surrounding town,

and there's a chance to see inside and gain aglimpse of wall paintings which have been preservedfor centuries.

Less ancient is the strange old town of Shali in thecentre of Siwa, a multi-layered pile of what look likemelted buildings. Three days of heavy rain in 1926melted the salt blocks that form much of the buildingmaterial and forced the townspeople to rebuild in thesurrounding area.

The palm trees which give the city its name andcharacter are so important to the area that theycannot be chopped down to make way for newdevelopment - and so houses are built around them.

Meals could be enjoyed Western-style at a table and chairs, orBedouin-style on cushions aroundlow tables, and the food wastypically north African withhummus, feta, olives and babaganoush just some of the options.The bedrooms were all rusticcharm, constructed and furnishedusing the palm and olive treeswhich have been the traditionalbuilding materials here forcenturies.

Unlike the Western bustle ofCairo, Siwa is a traditional place –all the women are totally coveredin public and there isn't a drop of

alcohol to buy. However, theydon't mind if you bring your own.

You need at least a couple of daysto really do the sites justice in thetown. It is easily navigable bybicycle, although the roads arerather sandy and some of thepotholes are huge - as I found outto my cost.

We also headed out of town tosee some of the places originallysettled by the Bedouin communitybefore they moved into Siwa itself,

as well as the salt lakes andsprings which rise like miragesout of the desert.

One of the highlights of the tripwas the desert safari, where weheaded at speed out onto thesand dunes in a 4X4 vehiclehumming the Indiana Jonestheme tune to ourselves Wehurtled up and down the dunes ina series of stomach-churningdrops, in a cross between arollercoaster ride and surfing in atruck.

There was a stop at an oasis lakeentirely surrounded by dunes for aswim, before heading to a part of

the desert which is ancient evenby Egypt's standards. Here thesand gives way to white and brittleground - littered with the fossils ofseashells dating back millions ofyears to when the Sahara was atthe bottom of the sea. After that,there was a stop at another oasis,this one complete with a hotspring, for dinner under the starsbefore heading back into town.

While there is more to Egypt thanthe Pyramids, no trip to the

country would be completewithout a visit to thoseextraordinary structures. So weheaded to Giza, where the crowdsof tourists, the camel-ridesalesmen, the boys sellingdancing toy camels and thesecurity searches are all as mucha part of the experience as thePyramids themselves.

At some 4,000 years old, theyhave certainly stood the test oftime, although the tombs withinthem were raided long ago.

Going bent double down dark,humid tunnels to reach the centralburial chamber, which nowcontains nothing more than anempty stone tomb was not exactlya pleasant experience - but isdefinitely something to be able tosay you've done.

“experience more to Egypt thanjust the Pyramids of Giza”

Egypt is also famous for itsbelly dancing and its whirlingdervishes, and we got a chanceto see both on a Nile cruise,which also showed off the cityby night with its collection ofoffice buildings, top hotels andsmart homes which hug theriver in the capital. It was aworld away from the donkeycarts and sunsets over thedesert of Siwa, and hard tobelieve the two places werepart of the same country - andthe one trip.

Run!Well, its that’s time of year again when you and your friends decide

to take up running or take part in a charity event. This is anexcellent idea off course, but your choice of footwear should be

the first consideration, before embarking on your new fitness venture.

Biomechanics, bodyweight and running surfaces could all be contributingfactor in your choice of footwear. More importantly, the shape of your feet couldbe the difference between old and new injuries. So where do you you start?

A good starting point is to do a ‘Wet Test’ or visit a running shop. The ‘wettest’ works by leaving you with an in-print of your foot (obviously), which canthen be translated ‘ roughly’ into the amount of stability you may need inyour shoe. This is straightforward and starts with you standing onto apiece of card, you should then get the shape of your foot. This can thenbe translated into 3 ‘foot’ type categories.

You can stencil around your in-print and then ‘run’ along to your localspecialist ‘Advance Performance’ and no I do not get commission, they arejust a superb shop that rectified my Achilles problem by correcting myfootwear.

Run Forrest,

Normal FootA normal sized arch will leave a wet footprint that has a flare, but shows theforefoot and heel connected by a broad band. A normal heel lands on theoutside of the heel and rolls inwards slightly, to absorb the shock.

Flat FootThis has a low arch and leaves a print, which looks like the whole sole ofthe foot. It usually highlights an over-pronated foot. This lands on theoutside and rolls inwards excessively.

High-Arched FootThis leaves a print showing very narrow band (or no band at all) betweenthe forefoot and the heel. This type of foot does not roll in accordingly andtherefore will not act as a shock absorber.

Race for Life Charity RunsIf you are planning to take up running, a great goal to aim for with yourfriends could be the ‘Race for Life’ charity runs

If you're forever rifling through your handbag for an eyeliner ordusting crumbled eye shadow off your other cosmetics, it's timeto go in for some thorough de-cluttering.

Clean up your act with our beauty detox guide. Our experts reveal thepitfalls of clinging on to the past, products and how you can get yourbeauty regime into shape.

make-up m.o.tGuilty of being a cosmetics junkie?Chances are you have a treasure troveof products past their expiry date as youmove onto the next big thing.

But clutter isn't your only concern as oldproducts can actually damage your health,according to Dr Patrick Bowler, skin careexpert at Court House Clinics: “The worstscenario is that you could develop a nastyrash or infection if the product has beencontaminated with bacteria,” he warns.

One in four women are continuing to usebacteria- infested make-up over four yearsold, according to a study by The Collegeof Optometrists.

As a rough guide, eye make-upsuch As mascaras and liquidliners shouldn't be used after sixmonths, although eye and browpencils can Last up to three yearsif used sensibly.Other cosmetic favourites such asfoundations, concealers, powders, lipsticksand glosses should be used no longerthan 24 months - but trust your instincts ifyou think they're bin-bound.

“In most cases, once a product is past itsuse-by-date you'll end up with somethingthat looks and smells 'off', is unpleasant touse, and no longer effective,” Dr Patricksays.

As handbags get bigger and bigger in planet fashion we just keep fillingthem with more beauty bits and bobs. Bad news for your back - and your

make-up hygiene. Some of the most commonly found bacteria in those MaryPoppins bags include pseudomonas, which can cause eye infections such as

conjunctivitis and staphylococcus.

"Old make-up brushes, especially if they've been festering at the bottom of ahandbag, could be riddled with bacteria," explains Jason Zemmel, pharmacist andfounder of HalfPricePerfumes.co.uk.

"I'd advise all women to go through their handbag and make sure everything is cleanand usable. In lots of women's bags, products are left without their lids on and

come into contact with all kinds of things in their handbag that could causeinfections."

If you've besieged your bathroom withmore products than your local Boots, it'stime to take stock. Chuck out all the oldbottles containing remnants where youpractically need a magnifying glass tosee what's left and make room for freshnew products. Look out for multi-useproducts to help limit bottle overload.

"This will ensure that your collection stays incheck. Twice a year I make sure I do a bigclear-out. If I haven't used a product at leastfive times in those six months, I throw itaway - it means you just don't love itanymore and it will be getting past its bestby at that stage."

sugababesset the record straight

They've been through their fare share of drama over the last few months, losing original memberKeisha and rumours of Amelle being kidnapped. Thankfully the trio, which now includes JadeEwen, are still around to explain it all.

Is a girl band that's seen fourdifferent line-ups in 12 years, andnow contains none of its originalmembers, still the same group?

As you might imagine, theSugababes are emphatic withtheir answer.

"We never thought for a secondthat we should change our name,"says Amelle Berrabah, whobecame a Sugababe after originalmember Mutya Buena's departurein 2005.

"It honestly never crossed mymind. When I think of originalmembers, I always see Heidi[Range] as one anyway, she's beenin the band eight years now."

"I was in the band with Mutya forfour years, and Amelle has been inthe band four-and-a-half," saysHeidi, who joined the band whenSiobhan Donaghy 'went to the toiletand never came back' while on tourin Japan in 2001.

The latest drama in the

Sugababes's story began back inSeptember. Rumours arose thatAmelle had left the band, citingworking difficulties and exhaustionas the reasons. Newspapers thenran stories claiming she hadn'tbeen seen for days and waspresumed kidnapped.

Of course, this wasn't true.

"That story made me laugh somuch," Amelle says. "I just didone and turned my phone off,"she says.

Former Eurovision contestantJade Ewen was then mooted as apossible replacement for Amelleand the show would go on. Withindays of an announcement aboutAmelle leaving, however, anotherfollowed saying it was in factfounding member KeishaBuchannan who was leaving theband apparently due to herbullying.

Using her Twitter page todefend herself, Keisha statedno bullying had taken place,and her leaving was the resultof a "break down incommunications".

Speaking to Heidi andAmelle, it sounds a little moreserious than that.

"For a good year, me and Heidiweren't happy and it just gotharder and harder," explains

Amelle. "And it wasn't just us, thereare other people that we see everyday that were finding it difficult too."

Throughout the conversation, theynever explicitly say what Keishaused to do that was so bad,although there are hints atdramatic mood swings, difficult,obstinate behaviour anddeliberately being late to makethings difficult for others involved.

As things came to head, bothHeidi and Amelle decided enoughwas enough and quit the band.

"Keisha wasn't kicked out," saysHeidi, defensively. "We left, andwhile we were waiting to find outwhether we'd still got jobs - we

didn't know what the label weregoing to do, get two new girls in orwhatever - people we worked withtold us they were about to leave aswell becausethey couldn't copewith the situation either."

"We weren't happy, but it was amassive decision to leave, it was amassive risk," adds Amelle. "Welove what we do, but it got to thepoint where it had to change."

If kidnap plots and ever-changingmembers weren't dramaticenough, they're nothing comparedto what happened in the aftermathof Keisha's departure.

As she left, the girls were due to flyout to America to film a video. Aband member down and theirfuture in doubt, Heidi and Amellecould do nothing but sit tight in anLA hotel and weigh up their

options.

Meanwhile, back in London,Sugababes's managementcompany, Crown, were busy tryingto find a replacement. That's whereJade Ewen comes in. BeforeCrown Management cameknocking, Jade was trying to gether solo career going. As sheadmits herself, it was provingdifficult, with the dreadedEurovision Song Contest actinglike a weight around her neck.

"If it wasn't for Eurovision, no onewould know who I was," saysJade, candidly. "But at the sametime, I couldn't get in magazines oron the radio because ofEurovision, so it was a double-edged sword really."

"At first I'd said there was no way Iwanted to be in a band, because I'dbeen in a girl band before where Iwas the youngest of three girls, itwas such hard work and we didn'tget anywhere," says Jade.

"Management said 'I know it's onthe spot, but if you want to be inSugababes, the girls are out in LAnow and they were supposed tohave shot the video yesterday.They're out there, but there's noband'. So I said yes, without reallyknowing what to expect - at thatpoint I didn't even know who I wasreplacing, as far as I knew Amellewas still missing."

There then followed a tentativemeeting where the girls wereintroduced to see if they'd get on.Heidi and Amelle insist theythought Jade was right from thatinitial chat, but feared she mightget cold feet.

Two quick rehearsals later andJade had filmed a video as part ofSugababes, and shortly afterwardswent on holiday to Barbados withher two new friends.

"We have all got so close theselast few months especially, and wehave lots of fun," says Amelle.

"We're all just so much happier."

“We have all gotso close these last

Throw caution tothe wind and mix elements ofdifferent styles, eras, colours andpatterns to create a look thatworks for you.

“Homes should be personalreflections of their owners, wheretreasured possessions

complementary in colour, textureand form are displayed, and theatmosphere is comfortable andrelaxed.”

gardena time-saving

desi

gn

This time of the year is often the time when many gardeners plan what to grow intheir vegetable and flower borders and look into changing their garden's design.

For many, changes in design are often madeto accommodate the lack of time availableto tend their garden. This can mean losing

areas of lawn which are high maintenance andfiddly to mow, replacing perennial borders withevergreens to add interest all year round, andintroducing large all-year plants to containersrather than annuals which have to be changedfrom season to season.

There are some who fear that a low-maintenancegarden will become dull and colourless or simply ahaven to paving slabs and concrete, but it doesn'thave to be that way.

Cottage gardens are probably out for the time-strapped gardener as they are generally teeming

with plants which need some care, includingannuals, perennials and roses and although they

45

ctstamford|gardening

may look natural, they need an awful lot of cuttingback and dead-heading.

Likewise, traditional formal gardens with the neatestof flower borders, bowling green lawns andcarefully- clipped hedges require a lot ofmaintenance and time.

You can, however, create a visually pleasing spacewhich won't take huge amounts of time to tend ifyou plan carefully.

Small, enclosed spaces are perfect for paving,which could be surrounded by raised beds, narrowborders and pots, so you can still experiment withplanting but won't be weeding and digging for hourson end.

You might include different textures to your hardlandscaping to create interest, such as ceramics orcobbles. Raised beds can also offer casual seatingand changes in level to an otherwise-featurelessspace.

Low-maintenance larger gardens can be separatedinto compartments which can be screened fromeach other to provide surprises and changes inmood. Many ornamental grasses, including Stipatenuissima and sedges (Carex), can be dotted atground level in gravel or slate to provide texture tootherwise boring areas.

Large single specimen plants of architecturalinterest, such as Japanese maples or phormiums,stand out if placed against uncluttered backdropsand can provide a far more pleasing picture than aseries of smaller pots containing a variety ofdifferent plants.

Don't make your flower borders too deep as you'llend up becoming a slave to weeding and watering.Use reliable ground cover plants such as cranesbillgeranium to take up any visible soil space andmulch your borders and areas of bare ground tosuppress weeds.

Paved or decked areas, which are easy to keep tidyand weed-free, provide the hard landscaping foryou to tend your surrounding plants, which ideallyshould include a selection of low maintenanceflowering shrubs and evergreens.

To reduce maintenance, use fences with climb-ing plants rather than hedges which need trim-ming, paths of gravel or bricks instead of grassones and self-watering hanging baskets insteadof free-draining ones.

reducing maintenance“include different texturesto your hard landscaping tocreate interest, such asceramics or cobbles”

Remember, that while some gardenscan be low maintenance, no gardenis 'no maintenance'.Work out how much time you are going tohave to look after your garden and then planaccordingly. Take time now to make designchanges and you'll save a heap of time later inthe season.

ctstamford|motoring Citroen DS3

DS3STYLISH, WELL-EQUIPPED AND LUXURIOUS

It has been some time since Mini could claimto have the market cornered for trendy citycars boasting both style and substance, but

the fashionable high-streets currentlydominated by the ever-expanding Mini range,the Alfa Romeo Mito and the smaller but all-conquering Fiat 500 are about to become evenmore lively with the arrival of the Citroen DS3.

When a production model resembles its conceptpredecessor so closely it is a sure sign that themanufacturer is about to try something new. TheDS3 is a new attempt to break into the premiumcompact hatchback sector with a stylish, well-equipped and generally more luxurious model.

At first glance, Citroen appears to have cracked it.There are bold styling gestures that may or maynot be immediately liked and that may or may notgrow on car -buyers over time, but as a packagethe DS3 is every bit as attractive and arguably moreforward thinking in its design than its rivals.

Attempting to be a design classic in its own right,the model can hardly be accused of trading on itsname either. Car historians and Citroen fanaticsmay raise an eyebrow at the rekindling of the DSmoniker, but the French manufacturer is notclaiming the DS3 is a modern interpretation of thefifties style icon. The DS4 and DS5 models that willfollow shortly will make no such claims, either.

The intention of the DS sub (or uber) brand isvisible in the lack of Citroen chevrons on the rear. Aspecial DS badge takes their place, marking theDS line-up out as a range in its own right. Thatsaid, the visual similarities to the Citroen C3 arepresent inside and out, but DS3 customers canexpect a far greater degree of customisation fromtheir cars. Citroen has retooled its factoryespecially to deal with two-tone bodywork and roofdecals of the DS3.

The basic layout of the DS3 interior is familiar fromthe standard new C3, but there are more thanenough additions to make the luxury model feeljust that. Dashboards can be specified in a range ofcolours and shapely interior panels are soft totouch and lined with more exuberant materials.

Patterned carpets, coloured seat inlays and dashes ofchrome add to the upmarket feel. Recessed dials arecomplimented with internally lit needles that jump into lifewhen the engine starts.

With the range-topping 154bhp turbocharged petrol enginedrivers will also be met with an appealing, sporty exhaustnote. The engine, the result of a partnership betweenPeugeot, Citroen and BMW proves well suited to the DS3 in150 THP form, making the car feel far keener than theCitroen C3. The crisp gear change and responsive, well-weighted steering help, too. The suspension is firm and theDS3 can be chucked into bends with confidence, but it'salso damped to deal with rougher surfaces even on theDSport model's 17-inch wheels. As a compromise betweencity driving and the open road it's hard to fault.

The DS3 shouldn't prove a struggle to live with, either. Theboot is very accommodating and, while the three-door
