I was going to start by wishing you all a Happy Star Wars Day for May 4th (May the

fourth be with you!) until I realised it wasnt even funny when I first heard it, years ago! Instead, let me welcome you to this months issue and hope there is something of interest for you all. The breadth of subjects covered in Discovering Bourne

is often a favourable comment which comes our way. Our regular contributors never cease to amaze with their enthusiasm, knowledge and ability to produce something both readable and most useful. Many thanks to them and to you for the messages of support and kind words we receive.

Please continue to send us any comments or suggestions as to how you think we could improve the product in your hands.

Welcome to our May edition...

Front cover by Michelle Jones from Thurlby

Following the advice of a reader, Im opening with the mirthful moment this month.

He was a bit concerned when his G.P. asked him what he wanted to hear first, the good news or the bad. Go on, then, start with the good news, he said. Well, youll be pleased to hear youre not suffering from hypochondria..

Already a third of the year gone and a few days of serious sunshine have brought out the shorts and shades. The words of Thomas Hardy, when his Tess (of the dUrbervilles) leaves home for the second time, on a thyme-

scented, bird-hatching morning in May, always make me feel glad to have such gems as Bourne Woods on hand, to really benefit from this most appealing of months.

More matter for a May morning, says Fabian in Shakespeares Twelfth Night. Much more indeed, for you all this month, as we focus our attention on two popular eating spots, Time for Tea and Julies Caf. The tennis club, the Bourne Business Chamber, Harveys Universal Fitness Centre and Winkworths are also featured, alongside our regular contributors.

Enjoy the words and make the most of these early summer days.

During spring, new and exciting colours bloom onto the high street; bold and bright clothes come alive in an array of colours. This season, there is a colour to match the vibrant personalities of every woman. Trends to look out for include a variety of shades from pastels to bold and bright clothes.

My recommended Spring/Summer investments include Ruby Shoos brightly coloured collection of shoes and handbags. The award nominated collection consists of playful patterns, including: floral, lace, and damask. Ruby Shoos designs are perfect for any occasion. For a casual look, team with a matching clutch bag from the Ruby Shoo collection with a pair of skinny jeans. This season, Ruby Shoo designs consist of hints of gold shimmer amongst the neutral shades; therefore Ruby Shoos designs are also perfect for occasions, such as proms and weddings.

Buckles and Bows stock light multifunctional shoes and accessories that are as practical as they are stylish. Their collection of light to wear Spanish espadrilles comes in a variety of wedge heights, designs and shades including: bright blues, nautical stripes, and radiant reds, which would look amazing against tanned toes!

Team the espadrilles with a reversible 2 in 1 bag. The bags come in solid pinks, purples, blues and greens, and they reverse to show a polka-dot print! The bags are interchangeable, and can be transformed into an across the body bag, or large beach bag.

AccessoriesMust Have Spring/Summer

The above items are available in Buckles and Bows. Buckles and Bows are open every Monday and Saturday from 9 until 5. For more information call 01778 395987. Buckles & Bows, 8 Angel Precinct, North St. Bourne, Lincolnshire PE10 9AE

Its over seven months now since Carol Danylew left her established North Street premises in Bourne, to re-locate in Wherrys Lane.

Rather concerned initially that people would no longer be visiting her as much, time has proved her wrong, fortunately, and the very fact that business has become brisker than ever is a sure sign that Carol is providing a much-needed service. Customer loyalty and recommendations count for so much!

Carols main business is still to make alterations and repairs to all types of garments, specialising in wedding and bridesmaids dresses, along with prom gowns.

But what Carol has now moved onto will no doubt interest and excite many of our readers. With the unfortunate, recent demise of The Crafty Patch on South Street went the shop which was a very popular stockist of a wide range of craft and hobby items, sewing materials and knitting equipment.

Carols Sewing Services can now claim haberdashery status, with the provision of knitting wool and a wide range of Crafts + Hobbies lines.

GoING StroNG aND NoW BraNCHING out...

Why not pay her a visit and see just what this talented lady can do for you?

ith the spring bulbs fading and the herbaceous border growing in leaps and bounds, it is now clear that summer is approaching.

If youre in the garden this month you can be getting on with the following:

April was a busy month down at the allotment, planting potatoes, preparing the bean trench and seed beds and planting out a few seeds.

Now its a battle against the weeds! As soon as the weather warms up and seeds begin to germinate, the weeds seem to take over, so be vigilant and weed regularly. You dont want the nutrients and moisture being taken away from your crops. We sometimes get lulled into a false sense of security and think that summer has arrived, but watch the weather in case of late frosts and protect any tender seedlings. Also, take care to harden off plants that have been grown indoors or under cover before planting. A cheap way to protect tender young plants is to use bottle cloches. Cut down your two-litre plastic drinks bottles, which then become useful for protecting young runner beans and peas.

There are numerous vegetables that can be planted out this month but try not to plant everything at once. Try succession sowing - a small batch of seeds every two or three weeks, and you should have a steady supply, rather than a glut: it will also help to maximise your chances of successful germination. It is possible to grow two crops planted at the same time in the same row or bed, one fast and one slow growing , (intersowing) so that you get the most out of your plot. Fast growing crops include oriental salad leaves, lettuces, radishes, spring onions, spinach and spring-planted shallots. Slow growers are parsnips, sweetcorn, tomatoes, leeks, winter cabbage, cauliflower, sprouting broccoli and Brussels sprouts. You can also sow the fast growers when there is a gap between harvesting one crop and planting another.

Sow outdoors: sweetcorn, sprouts, cabbages, cauliflowers, Florence fennel, leeks, cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuces. Sow indoors: chillies, peppers, courgettes, pumpkins and winter squashes, runner beans, sprouting broccoli.

Mayday, Mayday, MaydayWhats That All About Then?Not very much to do with the month of May, is the short answer! Mayday is an emergency procedure word, used internationally as a distress signal in voice procedure radio communications.

It is used to signal a life-threatening emergency primarily by mariners and aviators, but in some countries, local organizations such as police forces, firefighters, and transportation organizations also use the term. The call is always given three times in a row (Mayday Mayday Mayday) to prevent mistaking it for some similar-sounding phrase under noisy conditions, and to distinguish an actual Mayday call from a message about a Mayday call. The Mayday procedure word originated in 1923, when a senior radio officer, Frederick Stanley Mockford, at Croydon Airport in London, was

asked to think of a word that would indicate distress and would easily be understood by all pilots and ground staff in an emergency. Since much of the traffic at the time was between Croydon and Le Bourget Airport in Paris, he proposed the word Mayday, from the French Maidez! which translates to Help me! Before the voice call Mayday, SOS was the Morse code equivalent of the Mayday call. In 1927, the International Radiotelegraph Convention of Washington adopted the voice call Mayday in place of the SOS Morse Code call.

BOURNE BRANCH STEPS UP THE POUNDS FOR MARIE CURIE

Norwich & Peterborough (N&P) Building Society colleagues in Bourne have stepped up to the mark to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care. The colleagues have raised over 550 for the Societys Hour of Need campaign. The money raised will enable Marie Curie nurses to provide even more vital support for terminally ill people and their families across the UK. The fundraising at the N&P branch, on North Street, saw colleagues taking it in turns to try and accomplish 24,000 steps a thousand steps for every hour in the day - on a stepper. Beverley Wood, Manager of the Bourne branch of N&P, said, We know Marie Curie is a charity close to the hearts of many people in our community and we would like to thank everyone who sponsored us. The Society is aiming to raise 500,000 by December 2016.If you would like to make a donation to the campaign, please visit www.justgiving.com/hourofneed

Mothering Sunday Tea Party Boosts Rotary Mencap ChallengeThe Rotary Club of Bourne St. Peter has chosen Mencap, (whose Bourne office is on Cherry Holt Road), as one of their charitable causes that they are supporting in 2015. Mencap have several garden allotments on the Uffington Road site in Stamford which offer so much to those people using them. However, they lack some basic facilities, particularly toilets, including for those in wheelchairs. The Rotary Club project is to install a large log cabin, (4metres x 3 metres), with wheelchair access, to accommodate craft-based learning activities, which will complement the gardening, and allow more people to be supported, away

from the confines of their home accommodation. A separate structure will provide a composting toilet. A sum of 1,500 has already been raised, which has now been doubled to 3,000, by a Matching Grant from Rotary International. A highly successful Mothering Sunday Cream Tea event was held in the Bourne Abbey Church Hall on Sunday 15th March. Seventy people attended and enjoyed an afternoon of delicious cakes, pastries and sandwiches, all served with a variety of teas and coffee, using vintage china, with the hall decked out to suit the occasion. An impressive 474 was raised, which will boost the Mencap total even further.

Bourne Parish - Neighbourhood PlanBourne Town Council and the Neighbourhood Plan Committee have agreed that the actual area for a Neighbourhood Plan should include the whole of the parish of Bourne, which includes Cawthorpe, Dyke, Twenty and Bourne. At the first meeting of the committee, a Chairman, David Hemmingway, and three Deputies, Joanne Dolby, Claire Saberton and Donna Walker, have been appointed. The committee will continue to be assisted by employees and members of Bourne Town

Council. The aim for the immediate future is to set up Terms of Reference for the committee, clear definitions for the various working groups and to look at initial targets for the plan. For further information and updates, please refer to the Bourne Neighbourhood Plan on Facebook; the website of bournedirectory.com; or contact Bourne Town Council on 01778 426123 / [email protected]

A new Age UK survey has found that 53% of older people (aged 65+) believe they have been targeted by fraudsters. Whilst many do not respond, of those who do, 70% of all age groups said that they had personally lost money. The survey of over one thousand people by Age UK also revealed that a third of older people who responded to a scam may have lost 1,000 or more. Half of those over sixty-five said that they had received a phone call, text or letter that they believe to have been part of a scam, and over 25% of them said that they hadnt reported it. The report from Age UK highlights the tactics used by fraudsters, including befriending or `grooming potential victims and isolating them from friends and family; the use of seemingly professional documentation and official-looking websites; impersonating a bank or the police and even threats and intimidation. With the new pension freedoms that came into force this April 2015, the Charity is warning that people over fifty-five, who will now have access to large pots of pension savings, are likely to be increasingly targeted by fraudsters. This may well involve carrying out a whole range of scams, seeking to exploit peoples interest in the change in the law, for example by enticing them to move their cash into bogus, unregulated investments or other forms of scams. The Charity warns that being the victim of a scam can have serious consequences for peoples physical and mental health, as well as their relationships and finances. Some victims health deteriorates quickly after a scam and, in the worst cases, has even resulted in older people losing their independence and needing residential care. Age UK is currently working with Action Fraud, as well as other agencies, to increase awareness of fraud and cyber-crime and the levels of sophistication involved, so that people feel equipped to challenge and report it. To report a fraud and receive a police crime reference number, call Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040 or go to www.actionfraud.police.uk/report_fraud

Over half of people over 65 have been targeted by fraudsters, says Age UK

Stamford Shakespeare CompanyAt the very centre of England on the edge of Rutland is a unique theatre which claims to be one of the finest open air theatres in Europe and was described by The Stage newspaper a few years ago as Englands pre-mier alfresco venue and "The Sunday Times" "One of the finest things to do this summer"

It is the home of the Stamford Shakespeare Company and their annual summer three month Stamford Shakespeare Season which this year celebrates its 39th year. It makes claim to offer the comforts of an indoor theatre with the charms of an outdoor setting, and on a fine summer evening the permanently covered, 600-seat

raked auditorium faces an open air, wooden decked stage set in an idyllic woodland glade. No performance is ever cancelled because of rain is the proud boast. The stage has a sub-stage enabling actors to appear suddenly through trapdoors, and a gantry above the centre of the stage hidden by tree branches enables fairies in A Midsummer Nights Dream (performed every four years,) to fly down from the tree tops to the stage, bringing gasps from the audience. The theatre is in the beautiful grounds of the historic Tolethorpe Hall. There is a lawn overlooking classic English parkland enjoyed over 12 weeks by nearly 18,000 picnickers attending the theatre, and a hidden on-site car park is just one minutes walk from all facilities on a compact three acre site. Throughout the summer months (June 2nd to August 22nd), the Stamford Shakespeare Company will be offering two Shakespeare plays:


Henry V, Romeo & Juliet and our non-Shakespeare play, "Tom Jones"(Based on the novel by Henry Fielding)

Romeo and JulietThe greatest love story the world has ever known, set amid the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. Taking place in Victorian England with the Capulets portrayed as a gypsy family and the Montagues as traditional landowners, the bitter conflict between the families forces Romeo and Juliet to conceal their passion. The forbidden nature of their love leads to the inevitable tragedy. This tale of a pair of star-crossed lovers includes wild gypsy dancing and fortune-telling, murderous rivalry and thrilling sword fights.

Henry V2015 is the 600th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt and we will be commemorating this famous victory with this rousing and inspiring play. Prince Hal, the playboy of 15th Century England, turns military commander and statesman to defy the overwhelming odds of France on the bloody fields of Agincourt. Comedy, romance, treachery, triumph and disaster combine to paint a vivid picture of life and death in 15th century France and England

Tom Jones(Based on the novel by Henry Fielding)Step back in time to the bawdy, fun-loving world of the 1700s with the hilarious romantic comedy of Henry Fieldings masterpiece Tom Jones. Adapted for the stage by Joan McAlpine, we follow the life of Tom from his discovery as a babe in the bed of an honest, kind-hearted landowner, through his adolescent misdemeanours and on to the growing awareness of his attractiveness to the ladies of all ages. But Toms youthful recklessness brings him not only into the arms of a number of amorous women but also to the condemned cell. As he is led to the gallows there is a great commotion - will he hang, or will he escape the noose to marry his only true love Sophia?

mall clumps of dark green plants can be found growing along the shallow reaches of the Bourne Eau in South Street between its source at St Peters Pool and Baldocks Mill, a reminder of an industry that once thrived there.

A continuing supply of good quality water is needed to grow watercress and as this is something that Bourne has had in abundance it was inevitable that someone would begin such an enterprise and in the late 19th century, Edwin Nathaniel Moody decided to give it a try.

He was a nurseryman who established the towns first watercress beds in 1896 on land to the south of St Peters Pool that he rented from the Burghley Estate Trust and soon he was producing so much cress that wholesale supplies were being despatched by rail from Bourne station to the markets in London and Leicester as well as being sold retail at his shop.

Watercress is a salad vegetable that was used as a food and medicine before written records began and was highly prized by the Greeks and the Romans. There was still a demand for it and the venture was so successful that by 1911, a borehole had been sunk to boost water supplies to the beds which produced so much watercress that during the summer months workers were cutting daily and consignments were leaving Bourne at the rate of 70 hampers a week.

But the cress beds, which covered three and a half acres, have now disappeared. They were managed by Mr Moody until he retired in 1955 when the business was taken over by Spalding Urban District Council which became responsible for growing and marketing the cress under the trading name of the Hereward Watercress Company Limited.

In September 1969, the beds were bought from the Burghley Estate Trust by South Lincolnshire Water Board which continued to run them until April 1974 when they were closed down and filled in and the area is now a riverside meadow owned by Bourne United Charities. Further cress beds that had been established by Mr Moody at the rear of Harrington Street (now Baldwin Grove) and at Kates Bridge on the former site of Waterside Nurseries, were also closed down.

Ironically, their closure may have been premature because watercress is enjoying a revival today and small bunches now fetch high prices in supermarkets and delicatessens while dieticians praise its properties as a health giving food and a rich source of vitamins and nutrients.

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?Dont replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Cloudy2Clear Windows Service With A Smile!Its 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 Mark Sherwood feels that its 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 its 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 didnt 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 didnt expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole. Cloudy2Clear service Bourne & the surrounding villages and Mark is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. The truth is that its 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 Ive 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 Mark a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and hell be happy to help!

Holiday Happiness! | Travel Column by Clare Lockett, Travel Counsellor

It is an age-old question that we really wanted to answer so Travel Counsellors conducted a survey of the Great British public to see what was the key to their happiness. We received a fantastic response, and from the answers we received, we found that holidays really do make as big a difference to our happiness as we always thought! Holidays ranked highest on the agenda when it came to what made our survey sample the happiest, with a whopping 83% prizing a holiday above anything else. Way down the list, in second place was buying a new home at 12%, with just 4% telling us that a work promotion would be top of their happy list. These amazing results really do seem to highlight just how much people value their holidays. Its so easy for people to get caught up in their fast-paced, busy lives so its little surprise that holidays ranked so highly. You can take some time out doing what you really enjoy, whether thats sitting by the sea, getting lost in a good book, or soaking up the culture in the local town. We went a little further in our survey, asking if holidays were important to their overall happiness and a staggering 98% told us that holidays were significantly important to making them feel happy. But why do people feel so happy on holiday? We decided to ask our panel which part of the holiday experience made them happiest. Over 39% of people told us that it was the

opportunity to de-stress and relax which created that sense of holiday happiness. Second in the poll was the chance to spend time with family and friends (29%), followed by the chance to experience new cultures (20%). Only 12% of

people said that the weather was the part of their holiday which made them happiest so it just goes to show that it doesnt matter where you go, as long as you take the time to unwind every now and then! But its not just about happiness either. Holidays can actually have a significant impact on improving your health! Time away from your day-to-day routine has been proven to reduce stress levels in your body, and lead to more stable and rejuvenating sleep patterns. This all helps to do your body a huge favour,

and gives you the chance to let go of all those physical and mental stresses and strains. So youll be happier and healthier, which is great! But one of the very best things about going on holiday is the special lifelong memories youll create. There is no feeling quite like enriching your life with an abundance of happy memories, of time well spent with your family and friends, in a destination which has changed the way you think about the world. So what are you waiting for? Dont be too busy making a living that you forget to enjoy a life! Take that all-important time, and feel happier with a memorable holiday this year!

Travel CounsellorsT 01778 338530M 07928 431367E [email protected]/clare.lockett

Who doesnt love a good holiday? Its that one chance to take a break from work and all those daily stresses of everyday life. You can explore the world and spend some quality time with your loved ones. But just how happy do our holidays make us?

Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month May 2015

recommended daily alcohol intake are at greater risk, but gender, genetics, age, race and low body weight are all contributing factors. However, its not all doom and gloom. There is a lot you can do to prevent the condition, and to reduce your chance of breaking a bone if you do get it. Advice on healthy balanced diets, suitable exercise levels and lifestyle modifications can help to manage some of the risk factors, reduce the day to day impact of the condition and reduce the likelihood of a fracture. It is important to understand though that osteopathic manual therapy cannot cure osteoporosis and if you are found to be moderate to high risk it is advisable that you consult your GP.

To find out more about the prevention, diag-nosis and treatment of osteoporosis, contact the National Osteoporosis Society via their confidential helpline (0845 450 0230) or by visiting their website at: www.nos.org.uk

In the UK, one in two women and one in five men over the age of 50 will fracture a bone, mainly due to poor bone health. But osteoporosis is often a silent condition, giving no pain or other symptoms to alert you to the fact until the worst happens and a bone breaks. As such, many people living with osteoporosis are unaware that they have fragile bones until this happens, sometimes with devastating consequences. Indeed an alarming new study published by the International Osteoporosis Foundation suggested that 37% of men that sustain an osteoporosis related hip fracture will die in the first year following the break. The diagnosis of osteoporosis is usually conducted by a doctor using conventional radiography and by measuring the bone mineral density (BMD), through dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. However, a special online screening tool called the FRAX questionnaire has been developed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to predict and screen for the 10-year probability of hip or other major osteoporotic fracture in patients based on determinants generally accepted to be the key risk factors. This is done by answering 12 basic questions upon which the online program will then calculate the % probability and give you the option to view the National Osteoporosis Guidelines Group (NOGG) recommendations. This is something you can do yourself or we could help you with. Those that smoke or drink in excess of the

It is estimated that around 3 million people in the UK have osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a condition in which the usually strong support struts that make up the inside of most bones becomes thinner, which can lead to bones becoming fragile and breaking easily, resulting in pain and disability. In the healthy skeleton, bone resorption and formation occurs in a balanced and organised fashion, but in the case of osteoporosis, this balance is lost.

o mark the occasion, owner Harvey Taylor has introduced the incredibly popular Myzone heart-rate monitoring system, the latest method by which those engaged in vigorous activity in his Fitness Centre, (and also outside), can ensure they are pushing themselves to their full potential. There must be hundreds of us who have been on that exercise bike, cross-trainer, rowing machine or the like, merrily keeping up a steady, comfortable pace, perhaps starting to glow a bit and wondering if the timer has slowed down! But is that the optimum use to which we are putting that apparatus? The higher the intensity of the exercise, the better will be the result, so surely, by knowing what our individual target could/ should be, and then having the means to monitor it on a screen before us, then all will appear much more worthwhile. A key part of the Myzone package is the physical activity belt, upon which the heart-rate monitor tracks your effort, guaranteeing accurate and personalised results. Other activity trackers may estimate calories burnt by counting steps taken, for example, but Myzone provides a much more thorough means of finding whether or not you are making maximum use of your work-out. Up to sixteen hours of exercise activity, outside the gym, can be stored within the

monitor, to be processed once youve returned from your bike ride or run, for example. Wearing the belt in the gym will then enable you, whilst on a specific piece of apparatus, to see the colour-coded, easy-to-read tiles on the screen before you, motivating you in real-time to put in the effort you know is required to attain your particular results. The Myzone Lite App allows you to review all of your Myzone account activity in the palm of your hand. Using your smartphone, you can monitor your activity calendar, workout graphs and challenges. Other features include personalised goal setting and also the ability to challenge your friends by accessing the real-time leaderboard, which helps make exercise a game.

The Hip and Sciatica | Your health by Jo Sunner B.Sc. , D.O. , M.M.S.M., Osteopath. The areas longest established osteopath clinic (next to Bourne post office)

The hip is a major contributor to all of a bodys core work. In fact, when we first learn to sit up as babies, we rely on our hip muscles, rather than the muscles of our trunk to do this. Repetitive motion like cycling, running and squatting can irritate the muscles in and around the pelvis, leading to chronic pain or limitation. This can produce a muscle spasm, leading to a pain in the buttock and leg, similar to sciatica. This is a debilitating and long-lasting pain. The secret is to stay moving even though it hurts, as the pain is being eased by using the buttock muscles.

Jo Sunner. Osteopath, Pulse Practice, Bourne. Also at Fitzwilliam Hospital, Peterborough

owever, often, when a person complains of hip and back pain, the go-to diagnosis is sciatica, which is actually a very specific source of pain. The sciatic nerves origin point is just at the top of the gluteal muscle (buttock muscle) in the lower back vertebrae. When inflammation occurs in this area, it can compress the sciatic nerve and send a radiating pain down the back of the leg, typically ending at the knee, but po-tentially carrying all the way to the calf. Sciatica is always caused by inflammation around the sciatic nerve.

The source of this inflammation may be low back pain, including a trapped nerve in the low back vertebrae. Pregnancy can also cause sciatica, if the position of the baby or shape of the uterus presses on the nerve. Inflammation in portions of the hips and gluteal muscles can also cause sciatic pain, but because the sciatic nerve is deep, the inflammation is typically also in a deep, rather than superficial, part of the anatomy. Sciatica is made worse by forward bend-ing or deep flexion of the hip joint. In fact, you may know you have sciatica because the pain shoots down the leg when you bend over. Working to properly engage the muscles of the core (stomach muscles) will be essential in healing this injury. Even those with strong stomach muscles may need to re-evaluate all their stomach muscles, especially the deepest layer of them, to reinforce the strength of the back. Strengthening the low back, opening the hamstrings and reducing tightness in the outer hips will also help restore the spines natural curvature and function. Then the pain will ease.

Healthy Eating! (Or. . . Its not what you eat, its the way you order it!)For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits. 2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits. 5. The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Brits.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you!

Twenty-one Years for Julie at the Caf

Her present family of staff comprises manager, Nick Edwards; chef, Sam Garfoot; waiter, Kadhim Al-tayie and manager Katie Bytheway, currently on maternity leave. The Saturday Team of waitresses Helen, Sarah, Anna, Tilly and Amy ensure that Julies many customers are served efficiently and with a smile. The underlying impression I received recently, as Julie and I looked back over the years, was of her caf being unashamedly family-oriented. Husband Peter provides much of the background support, their own children have done their stint, whilst a bevy of past Saturday girls have left town for

university and have then been welcomed back. Generations of customers have kept the caf going as a thriving facility, at this ideal location in the centre of town. Many children who were brought in years ago, return to enjoy Julies hospitality and delicious snacks, drinks and desserts, but now with youngsters of their own. The range of freshly prepared snacks is impressive, and there are specials to provide variety, alongside the healthy, locally-sourced meat, fruit and vegetables. Why not pop in and see why so many people continue to call Julies Caf their friendly, family local?
