Some of the fundraisers pictured with Eileen Le Voi, Owner of Safe Local Trades ( who is presenting cheque to David Bache, CEO of Age UK Peterborough are: from left to right Deb Page (Age UK), Steve Bedford (Drylining Systems), Emma Lane (AGF Building Services), Alastair Peat (Alfresco Landscaping), Brian Jennings (82 year old skydiver!)

E ach year, Peterborough-based Safe Local Trades organise fund-raising events for their chosen charity Age UK

Peterborough. This year they took part in two events - a Tandem Skydive at Sibson Airfield on Sunday 2nd October and the Great Eastern Fun Run on 9th October.

Both events were an overall success and the organiser, Eileen Le Voi, owner of Safe Local Trades, said “we would like to thank all our skydivers and runners for taking part in helping to raise £3,900 for this very worthy cause, and to everyone who supported us by donating to our teams."

Part of the team included an 82 year old granddad, Brian Jennings from Yaxley, who signed up for the charity tandem skydive and raised over £500 in the process. Eileen said: “I am so incredibly proud of Brian. He is inspirational and epitomises that you are never too old to do anything. Brian was so brave and we were blessed with a cloudless warm day on the 2nd October, which made

everyone’s experience even more enjoy-able. After the event, Brian was recognised by the Evening Telegraph and was awarded the 'Pride of Peterborough' which he truly deserved".

Eileen went on to say "it is a privilege to raise funds for Age UK – funds which help them to continue to deliver vital services to older people across Greater Peterborough.” David Bache, CEO of Age UK Peterborough said “We are absolutely delighted with this money and can’t thank Eileen and all the team enough. Without compassionate companies, such as safelocaltrades.com, we simply wouldn’t be able to provide the level of service that older people in Peterborough need so badly.”

GARDENING

I f you’re worried that real trees are not good for the planet, don’t forget that a British grown tree is most definitely not an ecological disaster zone – if you think about it, they’re a crop plant rather like a field of wheat except that they are generally given less fertiliser and fewer chemicals than many more run of the mill crop plants. So go on, make sure you buy one this Christmas!

There are a few things you ought to think about before you buy your tree, faced with rows of different types at often very varying prices. It can be really daunting, so have a read of my guide to real Christmas trees:

The Norway spruce (Picea abies) is the traditional tree, my favourite but perhaps not a favourite if you are more house proud. It has gorgeous dark green pointed needles and that unmistakable aroma but sadly it is the most likely to drop its needles. Having said that, if you treat it well, it won’t perform that badly and you can enjoy the lowest cost of the real trees.

The Scots pine is now a regular option as a Christmas tree, with its long paired blue-green needles it’s quite distinctive. The needles are fairly densely packed on the branches and they also hold quite well.

The Serbian Spruce (Picea omorica) has long been the favourite festive tree in central Europe, as it’s good looking and has good needle holding… but of course no Christmas-tree smell!

The Nordman fir (Abies nordmanniana) has become increasingly popular in recent years, with its shiny green needles being almost impossible to shift, so certainly a good choice for those who hate any mess.

The Fraser fir (Abies fraseri) is less regularly available, but the combination of its good looks and needle holding capacity make it well worth considering.

So, you’ve been persuaded to take the plunge, I hope? But how do you make sure you buy the best tree of the type you’ve decided on? And how do you help it keep its needles and its gorgeous appearance for as long as possible? It’s important not to buy a real tree too early as the longer they hang around after they’ve been cut, the more likely they are to go downhill. I always try to buy a tree produced by a member of the British Christmas Tree Growers Association – the BCTGA logo should be on the tree or clearly displayed nearby. Take a bit of time to choose the tree – check that it has a good, full shape and that its not too gappy

or lop-sided (or if it has the leans make sure that this will be hidden when the tree is in your house). Check the needles - they need to be glossy (for those varieties where this is a characteristic) and the correct colour for the type of tree you’ve chosen. They also need to be free from pests and diseases - basically anything yellowed or inclined to shed, or with white fluffy bits should be avoided at all costs. Never buy a tree that has already been netted as this makes it a real lucky dip situation.

If you do buy one quite early then the most important thing is to keep it outside - just re-cut the end of the trunk (yes, its time to dig out your DIY saw) and put the tree in a bucket of water in a sheltered spot outside. If it was in a net when you bought it, remove this as it’s important to have air circulating around the needles.

When you bring the tree inside, try to avoid putting it anywhere too warm or close to a heat source and make sure that you use a stand with a water reservoir with water levels really well topped up – if kept well

supplied with water then even the notorious (but lovely) Norway spruce Christmas tree should hold its needles well.

When Christmas is over and it’s time for the tree to come down, complete the green-loop and make sure you recycle it – they’re not the easiest thing to recycle or compost at home, but many councils and garden centres now offer a recycling and Christmas tree chipping service.

The History of

Christmas Carols

T he tradition of Christmas carols hails back as far as the thirteenth century. Carols were originally communal

songs sung during celebrations such as harvest tide as well as Christmas. It was only later that carols were sung in church, and to be specifically associated with Christmas.

In England, and some other countries (i.e. Poland and Bulgaria), there is a tradition of Christmas carolling (earlier known as was-sailing), in which groups travel from house to house, singing carols, for which they are often rewarded with money, mince pies, or a glass of an appropriate drink.

The word wassail comes from a Saxon ex-pression ‘waeshael’ meaning ‘to your health.’ The wassail bowl was very com-mon in England at Christmas, and great fanfare and ceremony was made while drinking from it. As years went by, wassail came to mean any sort of Christmas toast.

SILENT NIGHT

One of the most beloved Christmas carols, Silent Night, originated in the tiny village of Oberndorf in the Austrian mountains. The story goes that the day before Christmas Eve in 1818, Father Joseph Mohr, pastor of Saint Nicholas church, discovered that the church organ was broken meaning there would be no music for his midnight mass.

Taking a verse he had written two years previously he travelled several miles through the snow to his friend Franz Gru-ber, a school teacher and musician, and Gruber set it to music. At midnight mass, Father Mohr and Gruber, accompanied only by Gruber’s guitar, sang the gentle song, “Silent Night, Holy Night,” for the first time.

"StilleNacht! HeiligeNacht!" can easily be called the world's best-loved Christmas carol. It has been translated into nearly

300 languages and dialects. Its message of heavenly peace sets the theme for Christmas celebrations around the globe.

The song was sung simultaneously in English and German by troops during the Christmas truce of 1914, as it was one of the few carols that soldiers on both sides of the frontline knew.

Silent night, holy night

All is calm all is bright

Round yon virgin Mother and Child

Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night,

Shepherds quake at the sight.

Glories stream from heaven afar,

Heav'nly hosts sing Alleluia;

Christ our Saviour is born;

Christ our Saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night,

Son of God, love's pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face,

With the dawn of redeeming grace,

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth;

Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

CELEBRATE YOUR SPECIAL MEMORIES OF

LOVED ONES WITH SUE RYDER’S LIGHTS OF LOVE

S ue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice is inviting

people this Christmas to celebrate

their special memories of loved ones

and share them with others by taking part in

its annual Lights of Love campaign.

The hospice will host a Lights of Love event at the hospice in Peterborough on Sunday 18th December at 5.30pm to give people the opportunity to celebrate their most cherished memories.

Sue Ryder’s Lights of Love is an annual cam-paign which gives people the chance to make a dedication in honour of a person who is special to them. Julie Laithwaite at Sue Ryder comments: “Lights of Love” gives people the opportunity to come together to remember and make a special dedica-tion to a person who has touched or in-spired their life. Many people find it difficult to cope with bereavement especially at Christmas when family and friends come together to celebrate”.

A recent survey conducted by Sue Ryder* revealed that over half of people (59%) choose to celebrate the life of a loved one at Christmas by sharing their fondest memo-ries with friends and family. Results also showed that 61% find it helpful to talk openly about their feelings and memories of their loved ones as a way of coping with bereavement during the festive season.

Julie added: “Memories are forever and they are a precious gift. It is important to take the time to remember the people who have played a vital role in our lives loving us, helping us to achieve our full potential and sharing with us our happy and sad mo-ments”.

TV presenter Kate Thornton, a keen sup-porter of Sue Ryder, says, “I'm delighted to support Sue Ryder’s Lights of Love cam-paign this Christmas. It's a wonderful way for people to support each other and

come together for a magical evening to remember loved ones, at what can often be a difficult and emotional time of year. "I've seen first-hand the wonderful care and compassion that Sue Ryder's staff provide at their hospices for people living with com-plex and end-of-life conditions. They do an amazing job and I would urge people eve-rywhere to support the charity's Lights of Love campaign, either through attending one of their Christmas services or by making a donation”.

If you would like to receive more informa-tion about Lights of Love or request a Lights of Love pack please contact Julie

Laithwaite on 01733 330060. People keen to dedicate a Light of Love will be encour-aged to give a donation of their choice to Sue Ryder. Everyone making a dedication and a donation will receive a Lights of Love Christmas star on which they can write a personal message before hanging it on their tree at home or sending it back to the hospice. People attending the Lights of Love event at Thorpe Hall will also have their dedication entered in the Book of Celebrations available at the hospice.

I t’s that time of year again. The annual

office get-together and accepting more invites to nights out with the girls than you

could ever possibly attend.

Christmas is great, but all that socialising can become stressful and a packed diary means less time to prepare for those all important dates. So, what you really need is an easy, effective and well-planned beauty routine that’s going to save you hours getting ready, guarantee you’ll look gorgeous and ensure that you’re the centre of attention - for all the right reasons.

Being transformed from dingy to dazzling doesn’t have to take long, but preparation is certainly essential.

Book hair appointments well in advance; it’s the busiest time of year for stylists and a marvelous mane is a must-have accessory. As great as it is to try out a new look, be cautious around the holiday season - hair disasters are sure to kill party spirit! Instead stick to a look that you know suits you and that’s easy to manage - leave the re-styles until the new year.

Cold winter days, centrally heated rooms and the usual bouts of seasonal flu can play havoc with your skin, leaving it dull, dry and lifeless. So it’s a good time to take notice of your skin type and invest in a routine that will leave it glowing.

Dry, sensitive types suffer more in the winter

and need to be regularly moisturised. Apply a day cream in the morning and a ‘heavier’ night cream in the evening to keep moisture levels topped up.

Oily skin shouldn’t be neglected. It too needs moisturising - a ‘light’ product works best, and should be used twice daily.

Combination skin must be managed using a specially formulated range, in order to balance the dry and oily sections of the face.

Don’t forget the delicate eye area too - use an eye cream daily to avoid wrinkles.

With hair styled and skin prepped, its time to find your perfect party make-up look.

It’s a good idea to take advantage of the free makeovers offered by most of the top beauty brands at your local department store. Having a specialist consultant offer their expertise when it comes to the way you apply your make-up can result in a great new look for you. After all, it’s so easy to become stuck in a make-up rut. And you get to try out the products before you buy.

Take notice of professional application tips and invest in the right tools - quality make-up brushes leave a great finish. Establishing what you want from your cosmetics means that you can find the right ones for you. Long lasting foundations, lengthening mascaras and vibrant lipsticks work wonders for evening, and will help keep you looking great into the small hours.

And finally, get your nails looking as polished as you are. Repair breakage and reinforce damage to the nail surface with a strengthening treatment. File and shape before applying lashings of colour. Or, for a really fashion-forward look, try the latest trend - nail wraps. They’re cute, creative, fun and perfect for a party.

With everything now in place to make you look fabulous, all that’s left to do is enjoy every minute of the best time of year and make this Christmas one to remember.

SAGITTARIUS NOV. 23 - DEC. 21

Mars continues to animate and ener-gize the most pivotal point in your chart. Jupiter highlights your work and your energy levels and sense of

timing are good during this cycle. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and ener-gizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.

CAPRICORN DEC. 22 - JAN. 20

December is a strong month for crea-tive pursuits and love matters. Roman-tic Venus is in your sign until the 21st. Your ambition is also heightened and

opportunities may emerge from unexpected quarters. Your ruler is in Libra and you’ll need to find a balance when it comes to family matters.

AQUARIUS JAN. 21 - FEB. 18

The Sun and Mercury are travelling through the social sector of your chart, bringing new friends and col-leagues on to the scene. Then after

the 14th as Mercury turns direct, you should ex-perience positive motivation to further your busi-ness goals and professional interests which im-prove your income.

PISCES FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20

Financial matters need careful atten-tion this month as Uranus moves for-ward in the money sector of your chart. You have all of the necessary

tools at your disposal to make important changes to your spending and borrowing habits. Work can be demanding but also motivating.

ARIES MARCH 21 - APRIL 20

Your ruler, the energetic and fiery Mars is in practical Virgo and is now travelling through the work, fitness and wellness sector of your chart.

You feel inspired and motivated to take better care of yourself. Adventure beckons and the eclipse on the 10th gets you to view the future with much broader vision.

TAURUS APRIL 21 - MAY 21

December will be a transformational month for Taurus. Venus, your ruler, is in practical Capricorn where powerful Pluto resides. Several areas of your life

will come under intense scrutiny now. The eclipse on the 10th brings your finances into the spotlight & new ways of earning money may come to light.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 21

Your ruling planet Mercury will turn direct on the 14th, this is good news as all communications and plan that have been delayed can now start

moving again. Energetic Mars in practical Virgo is stirring up your home and domestic life & new and creative ways of working can now emerge.

CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22

Uranus, planet of surprises, is on the move again and after the 10th your Solar house of ambition and career is in the spotlight. An exciting op-

portunity may come your way, be prepared to have a broader perspective on all areas of your life. Communication works well and confi-dence is high.

LEO JULY 23 - AUGUST 23

The Sun and Mercury light up the playful area of your chart & you’re ready for excitement and adventure. People that you meet tend to stir

you into new ways of thinking and new oppor-tunities to travel and to further your education could arise. Demonstrating the perfect bal-ance of self-assertion and cooperation is vital.

VIRGO AUG. 24 - SEPT. 22

The Sun and Mercury warm the do-mestic area of your chart. During this cycle, you are especially fond of life at home and with family.

You’ll feel more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic now. The eclipse on the 10th brings vibrant new energy.

LIBRA SEPT. 23 - OCT. 23

You are accustomed to making eve-ryone else in your life happy, but this month you can tend to your own needs without guilt. Venus, your rul-

ing planet, is in practical, hard working Capri-corn and it's a time for pushing your own per-sonal projects and interests ahead.

SCORPIO OCT. 24 - NOV. 22

Three planets light up two very per-sonal areas of your chart bringing your values, your communication and your self-expression to the fore-

front. Powerful Pluto, your ruler, is strong in am-bitious Capricorn. You are in the position to assert your personal influence on others.
