WOW!Look at me now!I started at 16st 13lb – I had reached crisis point. The size 22/24 clothes were starting to get tight and this wasn’t good news. Having medical problems including Multiple Sclerosis and IBS meant losing weight was previously a battle. I had tried most things but never found something I could stick to. I had seen with my own eyes other people that had joined SureSlim and achieved great things. I knew this was the path I was going to have to take.I was scared and worried at how things would have to change but after my initial visit I felt confident that with the support of my consultant I would give it my best shot.My plan arrived and with trepidation I embarked on my new quest. My new life!Within a few months my cholesterol was completely normal but the benefit was really to the IBS. I no longer need to take the medication for this as the plan seems to have sorted it out – telling me that it’s the right food going in my body. It didn’t take long for people to start noticing that I was losing weight and this of course made me feel

fantastic. My willpower was definitely encouraged by the fact people were commenting but also that the weight was coming off at a super but sensible rate.I reached goal after 9½ months on SureSlim meaning I had lost 7½ stone. It’s truly amazing. I am a size 10 now which I didn’t think was possible. I know when I go into a shop I can try clothes on confidently. No need to hide the tag!I’ve been able to keep the weight off with the help of my lifestyle plan and I plan on keeping it that way – I feel so comfortable with the new me. My life has changed for the better. My family are proud of me and my achievements. Most importantly I love the fact I feel better about myself. I now have the key to manage my weight for the rest of my life.

Bingley Fine Food Festival 2010This year’s fi ne food festival brought fl avours from different parts of the world to Bingley Market Square over Easter.

Co-ordinated by Bradford’s Markets Service, over forty stalls offered a whole array of speciality foods from Europe and Asia alongside traditional Yorkshire fayre to the town for the third year running on April 2nd and 3rd. Over 50 traders had on offer Mediterannean treats such as olives and feta cheese, mixed with the aromas of Asian favourites such as curries and chutneys. But more traditional dishes were on sale such as hog roast, pies, pickles, fi sh, venison and game. The sweet-toothed were delighted to browse around the patisserie and the sweet, toffee and chocolate stalls. Other refreshments including a Polish beer bar with rhubarb lassi for the adventurous and tea and coffee for the more

traditional, were available. Delicious smoothies also proved to be a popular addition. The food festival was complimented by the traditional open market, open weekly on Wednesdays, Friday and Saturdays, in Bingley Market Square. On the Friday, April 2, Soraya Overend, Project Manager for the Jamie Oliver-inspired Ministry of Food Centre, demonstrated to lookers-on how to make simple, tasty meals from fresh products that can be obtained from local markets. The Bradford Council-run centre is based in John Street and has been running courses since before Christmas, helping participants learn how to cook healthy recipes.

Mad about bunting? So is Bryony Pritchard, visual arts director at Grassington Festival.

To celebrate the Festival’s 30th birthday this summer, Bryony is leading an ambitious plan to set a new Guinness world record for the longest line of bunting in the world. And she needs your help to do it! But nobody said it would be easy. To achieve the record, the Festival needs to make one continuous line of bunting of 2160 metres - that’s 9000 flags! So Bryony is appealing for help from all quarters to take part. She’s calling on clubs, schools and individuals alike to join in the fun and help celebrate this milestone for Grassington Festival with flourish. “Bright colourful bunting flags are well known for decorating festivals and parties, but we’re taking it to the next level,”

says Bryony. “This is a great challenge that will bring many communities together and I can’t wait to see all the creative and colourful flags hanging together. This year the festival is full of birthday surprises so this will certainly get us in the mood. We really hope the public will support us and get involved. We can’t do it without them!” Everyone is welcome to take part in this world record attempt so, to find out more, visit the Bunting Challenge page of the festival’s website: www.grassington-festival.org.uk/bunting-challenge And spread the word! The mammoth string of flags will be strung up in Grassington village square during the Grassington Festival for everybody to see. So don’t forget to visit and see your bunting fluttering. The annual arts and music spectacular in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales hosts a diverse

programme of world-class music, theatre, comedy, visual arts and film. This year the two-week event takes place from Friday 11th to Saturday 26th June, with hundreds of exciting events for everybody to enjoy. For full details of the packed programme or to book tickets, visit the festival’s website.

Bring on the Bunting!

Bunting Guidelines

1. The flags can be made from a variety of different patterns and colours.

Old curtains, scrap fabric and off-cuts from old clothes are ideal.

2. Flags can be personalised in any way you like.

Quilted, applique, embroidery, knitted, fabric paints, glitter, graffiti or collage.

N.B. If you are a group, we suggest you mark your first flag with your name on it.

3. Each flag must measure exactly 19cm on the top and 29cm on both long sides.

Please see our template. Feel free to photocopy it and pass it on to all your friends.

4. A gap of 5cm is allowed between each flag.

Our Bunting HQ team will sew them all together, so you don’t have to worry about this.

5. The bunting pieces must be attached to one continuous line. No joins allowed.

Nobody said it would be easy!

6. The finished bunting line must be strung up.

This will happen in Grassington Village Square.

Tip

When cutting your fabric, you can make more bunting by turning the triangle upside down.

Please send your bunting to:

The Baildon in Bloom committee has

been very busy over the last six weeks,

getting ready for judgement day when

the Yorkshire in Bloom judges are due

into the village as part of their spring

judging programme. Working parties

had been arranged, usually on a Sunday

afternoon between 2pm and 4pm, to

work on the more needy areas around

the village.

From past experiences the committee realises that the judges mark on their clipboards in red for anything in favour and in black for anything they don’t like, such as litter around the village, untidy gardens, hedges in need of trimming and especially hedges overhanging the footpath, all of these could score a black mark. The weather had been of great concern due to all the ice, snow and frost,

especially as tubs, beds and planters had been planted up in the worst winter since Adam was a lad! One big disappointment was the slow growth of the 3,000 daffodil bulbs that were planted in October and November...we all thought they had gone down to Australia they were so slow to show! But there was no need to worry as we had a wonderful display with a ‘host of golden daffodils’ for spring, and they were just at their best when the judges arrived in the afternoon of Monday 19th April. The day started out very wet and cold but fortunately it cleared in the afternoon just as the judges arrived. We never know what notes the judges write on their clipboards as they hold them very close to their chests. They will follow the same procedure again when they arrive in July for the summer judging and we will not get to know how Baildon has done until

September when the results are announced...it is a long time to keep your fingers crossed!However, it is all worthwhile as the time in between gives the Baildon in Bloom committee the chance to make some improvements to Baildon in general, all helping to build up pride in our village. Thank you to everyone involved who has taken time to help make Baildon a village we are proud to live in. The Baildon in Bloom committee are also pleased to announce that preparations are being made for the next Wacky Scarecrow Walk on Saturday 11th September 2010. Application forms will shortly be available in shops around the village, a fine day has already been ordered for the event. So put on your thinking caps and have a go!

The Launch of the Wacky Scarecrow Walk by Baildon Resident, Ron Bairstow

Last year saw a record number of scarecrows, 220 in tota, so let’s see if this year there can be even more! I have ordered the sunshine for the day already, for there is nothing worse than looking at a wet scarecrow!

Spring is the perfect time for homeowners to get their house in order and this usually includes the one job that is constantly over-looked... the over-worked oven!

Even the most enthusiastic of Spring cleaners fi nd donning rubber gloves and tackling the oven one of the most loathed household chores, and if people are not thorough with their oven cleaning, fat and food can cause future problems which could result in an oven fi re and it’s also a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and germs.This is where Ovenu comes to the rescue! Owner, Richard Greenwood, runs the local franchise of Ovenu, the UK’s most prestig-ious oven cleaning company, and his is a true family business as four of his team of six oven

cleaning technicians are members of his family. Richard said: “People don’t realise that the more you use your oven the more debris and grease starts to build up and this can affect its effi ciency. Remnants of food could still be lurking in the oven, hiding behind the panels, behind the fan cover or even dribbling over the heating elements in those hard to reach places.” The whole Ovenu process takes around three hours and leaves the oven, hob and exterior in immaculate condition. So call Richard today to arrange for that most hated cleaning job to be taken care of so that you don’t have to!

Roberts Park, Saltaire

In 1953, Titus Salt, then 53 years old, moved his wool business from the centre of Bradford to his new model village on the banks of the River Aire. He was prompted to do this because of the rising death rate affecting Bradford’s workforce. This was a decision he made in 1848, when, as Mayor of Bradford, there occurred a Cholera outbreak that killed 480 people.

Deciding on the area he wanted, he appointed Lockwood & Mawson Architects, who had just finished building Bradford Town Hall and The Wool Exchange. Work started on his new mill and homes for the workers in 1851. Titus Salt laid down strict conditions for people moving into the houses in the new village, there were to be no public houses, and he banned clothes lines but made alternative arrangements for ‘wash day’ – he built a huge wash house and incorporated drying facilities with constant hot water and hot piping to dry the clothes! For their entertainment he built the wonderful Victoria Hall, with a ballroom and many rooms for meetings. The hospital he built was well equipped and still functions to this day. Schools for pupils of all ages were built and a college - which again is still a hive of activity. He also built a wonderful

church with its dome and churches for all denominations. One of the buildings meant for 800 Sunday School pupils was demolished to make way for a car park! Lockwood and Mawson, the architects, used an Italian influence in all of their buildings, which, coupled with the new Yorkshire stone mined locally, produced a beautiful picture. One of the main features is the main chimney, modelled on the Santa Maria Gloriosa Church in Venice. To ensure the health of his workforce, Titus built Roberts Park, to provide an area for them to enjoy fresh air, sunshine and exercise, and it contained a cricket club, a cricket pitch and pavilion and an arboretum of beautiful trees that still stand proudly today. There is only one name for this architectural masterpiece...Saltaire! Unfortunately, after the death of Sir Titus in December 1876, funding for the park started to dry up, leading to its

deterioration and it became neglected and a disgrace - when suddenly out of the blue came LOTTERY MONEY! And behold, plans were soon underway to give the park a makeover costing millions. On completion of the work, a celebration was held on Saturday May22nd this year, where The Lord Mayor officially opened the new band stand. People turned up in their thousands to be entertained by various bands including The Titus Salt New School Jazz Group! He would have been very happy and proud to see his beloved park restored to its former glory and enjoyed by so many.

As spring approaches, our field workers are busy picking purple sprouting broccoli (psb) for the veg boxes. They’re picking

through a field once a week to keep on top of the crop, but will step this up as we go into April, when psb becomes desperate to go to seed. We’ll need to give up in late April, so intend to make the most of psb while it’s here.

30 years ago, exotic-looking psb was the standard, widely available broccoli, before the meteoric rise of green (calabrese) broccoli. But over the last few years, psb has enjoyed a revival and is one of the few ‘trendy’ vegetables that really lives up to the hype.

A good source of folic acid, calcium, fibre, vitamin A, iron and packed with vitamin C, psb is a great choice health-wise. It’s also easy to cook; simply boil, steam or stir fry. The secret is to avoid the flower becoming mushy before the stem is tender. Try bunching it loosely with a rubber band and standing it upright in an inch of boiling water, asparagus-style.

And don’t just eat the flowers and stems, the leaf is tasty too. Leave on the broccoli spear for cooking, or experiment by using it as an alternative green, wilted

psb with mustard and tarragon hollandaiseby Jane Baxter

Instructions:Blanch the psb for a few minutes until just cooked. Refresh in cold water. To make the hollandaise, melt the butter slowly in a pan, then remove from the heat. Whisk the egg yolks with the lemon juice and cayenne in a bowl over a pan of simmering water until thick. Add the melted butter a little at a time until it has all been incorporated. Stir in the mustard and herbs and adjust the seasoning. Heat a griddle pan (or barbecue) until very hot and griddle the broccoli, turning until slightly charred. Arrange on a serving dish and drizzle over the hollandaise.

psb with anchoviesby Jane Baxter

Instructions:Cook the psb in salted boiling water for 5 mins. Meanwhile, chop the anchovy fillets. Heat the oil in a pan and cook the garlic and chilli for 1 min. Before the garlic

browns, add the anchovies, remove from the heat and mash with a wooden spoon until they have

almost completely disintegrated. Drain the psb and add to the anchovy

pan. Mix well and cook over a low heat for a further 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately.

spicy psb pasta sauceby Jane Baxter

Instructions:Toss the breadcrumbs in 2 tsp olive oil and spread on a baking tray. Bake in a hot oven for about 5 mins until golden. Warm 2 tbsp olive oil in a shallow pan and add the psb and cauliflower. Stir and leave to cook until the edges brown slightly. Season and stir gently. Soak, rinse and dry the capers then roughly chop and add to the vegetables. Stir carefully. Once the psb and cauliflower are just tender, add a drizzle of olive oil and scatter with the chopped anchovy, garlic, fennel seeds and chilli flakes. Toss well to mix. Cook for 2 more mins and add the parsley and olives. Sprinkle with the toasted breadcrumbs and serve with pasta.

Guy Watson began farming at Riverford in Devon over 20 years ago. He was an organic vegbox pioneer, giving customers the freshest possible seasonal fruit and veg at a fair price to customers and growers. Many of our customers are as passionate about the business as he is; no-one wanted the business to be large-scale. Guy teamed up with ‘sister’ farms who shared his passion and wanted to re-build the connection between grower and consumer.

River Nene was the first sister farm in 2005. From Sacrewell Lodge Farm near Peterborough, we deliver to homes throughout the east of England. River Swale followed in 2007, from Home Farm in North Yorkshire. River Swale supplies

veg boxes across Yorkshire and the North East. Riverford at Norton has since opened, delivering organic veg to homes around the Hampshire area.

Working as a family of farms means we can maintain our commitment to low food miles, local employment and the support of local farmers and keep a close link between grower and consumer. .For more recipes and to join our box scheme visit: www.riverford.co.uk, www.rivernene.co.uk and www.riverswale.co.uk.
