NEW MENU ~∞~

The future’s bright here After a busy day, or a lovely walk what would be better than popping in to this lovely country pub in the centre of the village, situated beneath the majestic Tyndale Monument, North Nibley.

Danny Chamberlain in his third year here, is keen to welcome you, your friends, family and dogs. Jenga and board games are available to borrow during a visit to keep everyone occupied! He and the expanding team are seeing a regular clientele of locals, walkers and many of those who have visited the area return to The Black Horse to stay as guests once again. The five letting rooms are ensuite and are often booked by regular business people who are back in the area for a night or two. The pretty breakfast room also offers extra dining space on busy occasions in the evenings.

As the summer approaches the garden is prepared with new benches and umbrellas offering a pleasant outdoor area. And Danny’s mother is putting on her popular afternoon Cream Teas as she did last year.

Freshly made specials are made daily from locally sourced suppliers and businesses where possible, offering delicious favourites like homemade Pie of the Day or Lasagne al forno, with other more unusual choices such as Cajun spiced steak with sauté new potatoes or Panfried duck, crushed new potatoes with plum chutney. The Chef’s cheesecake is freshly made as are the other desserts.

The lunchtime menu example, Cajun chicken, or Fish cakes & salad or Scampi and chips is from 12 midday - 3pm 2 Main dishes for £10, or 2 Mains & 2 Puddings for £16.

In the autumn, Danny is hosting a wedding for 24 in the daytime and 60 for the evening, working together with some other local businesses to make it a personal and unique day for the couple. He is happy to hold functions, where the whole bar and dining space can be booked for private parties and special occasions. Just pop in or give Danny a call and he will be happy to make arrangements with you.

Quotes Worth Quoting I’ve written seventeen novels and I’ve found that fiction

can’t keep up with real life. (John Grisham, writer) Drinking is the only thing you don’t get better at the more you do. (J. R. Moehringer, writer) It’s only discontent that makes us get out of bed. (Hugh Laurie, actor and comedian). Celebrate what you’ve accomplished, but raise the bar a little each time you succeed. (Mia Hamm, Sportswoman) Ten years ago, we’d happily queue in a bank to get £50. Now, if you’re standing at a cash machine and one person is pressing the receipt button, you actually want to kill them. (Simon Cowell) It’s useless to hold a person to anything he says when he’s in love, drunk or running for office. (Shirley Maclaine, actress)

A Peek into the Past On 20th June 1975 a trailer for a summer blockbuster was aired. It heralded the release of one of the most popular and enduring films of all time: Steven Spielberg’s Jaws.

The iconic and unforgettable trailer was voiced by a theatrical Percy Rodrigues.

There is a creature alive today who has survived millions of years of evolution without change; without passion, and without logic. It lives to kill. A mindless eating machine, it will attack and devour anything. It is as if God created the devil and gave him...Jaws.

It had been inevitable that Peter Benchley’s best-selling novel would be picked up by a movie studio. What was not inevitable was the fact that Universal Studio’s screen version improved considerably on both the plot and

characterisation and thus became an even bigger hit.

The suspense and tension are generated as much by our concern for the central characters as by our fear of the shark.

Audiences gasped in unison as the film built to its dramatic conclusion. Jaws remains to this day one of the best of Spielberg’s works.

A bad website, or no online presence at all, could be costing your company potential business.

The internet is the first thing most people consult when they’re looking for a service or product and if your company is not online, or has a website that looks out of date or isn’t accessible to mobile phones and tablets, then a business opportunity could quickly be lost.

Computancy has had a busy year building websites for businesses that want their information to be easily accessible on all the latest devices. Drawing on over 10 years’ experience in website design, search engine optimisation and web hosting services to assist small and medium-sized businesses in Gloucestershire and beyond.

“A website is now such an important part of a business that your customers simply expect you to have one,” says Computancy’s owner Nick Warner. “It is the first place they will look when searching for your goods, products or services and no matter

how pristine your premises and staff are, if this isn’t reflected in your website they may go elsewhere.”

Since April the search engine Google has actively penalised websites that are not mobile and tablet friendly, explains Nick. “Most websites more than 3 years old were not designed for the modern mobile ways of viewing them” he says.

“Our service doesn’t stop at building your website. It needs to be hosted on a fast webserver so that it is always available and we have secure and reliable webservers in London’s Docklands. Then it needs to be optimised so your customers can quickly find you on Google or Bing, and we offer flexible SEO plans for all budgets”

Based locally in Bisley, Computancy offer a full range of web design services, including graphic design and copywriting support and take pride in undertaking work quickly and efficiently and at competitive prices. ”

Where were you brought up?

I was brought up in Gloucester. I went to Calton Road Junior School and then Linden Secondary Modern School. My favourite lesson at school was Art. I enjoyed school and from there went to study Graphic Design at the Gloucestershire col-lege of Art and Design. When did you develop an interest in photography?

I have always had an interest in photography and bought my first camera when I was eighteen. I have always loved portraits, whether painted or photographed. Every face is different and it is a skill to capture the personality through the lens.

My favourite gallery in London is The National Portrait Gallery. Wedding photography is an exciting challenge. The ability to capture the enjoyment of the day, without being too prescriptive, is a skill in itself.

Being able to relate to people is es-sential, in order to make the day special, without being too intrusive. How long have you lived in Stroud?

I moved to Stroud sixteen years ago, when I married. We have a nine year old daughter. I love Stroud and the artistic feel of the area.

There are so many creative people in Stroud, which gives it, it’s unique and friendly atmosphere.

I count myself lucky living in the Cotswolds, as we are surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in England. Hobbies and Interests.

Apart from photography, I enjoy art galleries, cinema, reading and listening to music. Any ambitions?

Apart from perfecting my photography, I would like to visit Monets garden in France. A few years ago, we went to New England. I would love to go back there as it was so beautiful, especially in the Fall.

There are so many wonderful places in the world, just waiting to be photographed.

Put simply, panic attacks are a result of anxiety accumulated in the ‘Stress Bucket’. This is a metaphor for the area of the brain known as the hippocampus, which contains all of our sometimes inappropriate responses and templates. You can think of this as how we respond to things on a subconscious level.

It’s not the triggers that leave us feeling stressed, which are the problem. It’s the thought processes we go through, which surround that events or actions of our lives. Studies suggest that stress is a huge factor in the onset of panic & anxiety attacks. You can imagine the ‘Stress Bucket’ overflowing, whenever we put too much in there. That’s why it can happen in a moment when nothing significant happens. It all depends on what is in the Bucket already.

The Panic Attack itself is really just a provocation of the fight, flight or freeze response, which is there to safeguard us against dangerous situations. That’s why we can’t get rid of it entirely, and it is very much a feature of normal brain function.

Even this metaphor can be seen in two different ways. It’s not pleasant to take the view that the bucket will always be too limited, and we will therefore always be on the edge of a panic attack. This example in itself could cause anxiety if we believed it! On the other hand, we can see the stress bucket is a good thing. It allows us to absorb a certain amount of negativity without it being an issue.

So what can be done about it? Hypnotherapy can help you to reduce the amount that you are putting in your bucket, and get you to instead focus on the positive aspects of life. Over time this approach builds patterns in the brain that support a more desirable way of thinking. When we get more positive in life, regularly going in for positive thought, positive interaction, and positive activity, then the ‘Stress Bucket’ will have chance to empty. This occurs through a natural process called REM sleep. Once we again operate with an empty bucket, we have huge benefit in practically all areas of life. To find out more and to understand how with Hypnotherapy it can be possible to get over panic attacks for good using the right kind of positive thought, actions and interactions, get in touch with Liane or Sam at Changes Welcome today.....
