The Woman in Black

26th Nov - 1st Dec

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen

Mallatratt’s stage adaptation of Susan Hill’s best

selling novel combines the power and intensity of live

theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the

world of film noir. It is a formula that provides

audiences with an evening of unremitting drama as

they are transported into a terrifying and ghostly

world.

A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has

been cast over him and his family by the spectre of a

‘Woman in Black’, engages a sceptical young actor to

help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear

that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough,

but as they reach further into his darkest memories

the borders between make believe and reality begin

to blur and the flesh begins to creep...

Now celebrating its 23rd year in the West End, over 7

million people have lived to tell the tale of one of the

most chilling and successful theatre events ever

staged.

Scottish Ballet's The Nutcracker

8th - 29th December

At a party in the Stahlbaum's family home.

Drosselmeyer, the children's enigmatic godfather,

presents them with a nutcracker doll - and so begins

a dreamlike journey of discovery for the youngest

daughter, Marie.

Retold with a fresh and wicked vision for

contemporary audiences, Scottish Ballet's The

Nutcracker transports audiences into the magical

world of ETA Hoffman by way of Weimar Germany,

conjuring up a dreamlike surrealist narrative to chart

the magical journey of a young girl's awakening.

Gordon Sommerville Wills and Estate Planning - Making a will

allows you to determine how your Estate is

distributed. Simply put, the only way to

ensure that your money, property and

possessions pass according to your wishes is

to make a Will.

Powers of Attorney - A

Power of Attorney is an

extremely useful document which gives

someone the authority to deal with your

financial and welfare affairs when you no

longer have the capacity to do so.

Protect Family Assets - We can also advise on

steps that you can take to protect your

assets (including your family home) against

possible long term care costs. You may wish

to consider setting up a Property Protective

Trust Will which is a very effective way of

protecting if not your property, then your

parents’ property.

Guardianships - A guardianship order

appoints an individual or

professional to act and

make decisions on behalf

of someone who can no

longer do so for him or herself. It is a means

of protecting individuals who do not have

capacity.

Set up a Trust Fund - If any of your potential

beneficiaries have special needs or learning

difficulties, then Discretionary Trusts can be

very useful in providing

for their future.

Land and property – We

offer competitive rates for the purchase,

sale, and letting of property, family owned

commercial property, and Equity release.

Asparagus could be a powerful new culinary weapon in the fight against diabetes.

Scientists have found regular intake of the ncreasingly popular vegetable keeps blood sugar levels under control and boosts the body’s production of insulin, the hormone that helps it to absorb glucose.

UK consumption of asparagus has soared in recent years to record levels of around 8,000 tonnes a year.

As well as its delicate flavour, it now appears it could have a vital role to play in combating Britain’s looming diabetes crisis.

Type two diabetes, which accounts for 90 per cent of all diabetes cases, is emerging as a major health burden.

According to the charity Diabetes UK, at the current rate of increase, the numbers affected will rise from around 2.5 million to four million by 2025 and five million by 2030. More than a million people are already affected by the condition but do not realise they have it, perhaps because they do not recognise symptoms, such as fatigue, thirst, frequent urination, recurrent thrush and wounds that are slow to heal.

Left untreated, type two diabetes can raise the risk of heart attacks, blindness and amputation. But if doctors catch it early, it can be well controlled with diet and medication. Once known as ‘late onset’ diabetes, since it only tended to strike from middle-age onwards, doctors are now beginning to see patients in their teens and twenties with the condition. Fatty foods and unhealthy lifestyles have long been thought raise the risks.

High doses of the asparagus extract had a significant effect on insulin production by the pancreas, the organ which releases the hormone

into the bloodstream.

To see if asparagus could help, scientists at the University of Karachi in Pakistan injected rats with chemicals to induce a diabetic state, with low levels of insulin and high blood sugar content.

They then treated half with an extract from the asparagus plant and the other half with an established anti-diabetic drug, called glibenclamide.

The rats were fed the asparagus extract in small or large doses every day for 28 days. Blood tests were then carried out to measure changes in their diabetes. The results, published in the British Journal of Nutrition, showed low levels of the asparagus suppressed blood sugar levels but did not improve insulin output. Only high doses of the extract had a significant effect on insulin production by the pancreas, the organ which releases the hormone into the bloodstream.
