Are you Single?

Searchmate Staordshire provides a

condential, safe, bespoke introduction

service to nd the one to change your life!

Put a Spring in YOUR step with

LOVE in your Life...

www.searchmate.co.uk

Local Introductions Safe

Personal

Proactive

Searching for the Perfect MateWith the onset of Spring, more and more of us are looking for love in

our busy lives whilst less and less of us know where to look for it. Now

Staordshire has its own singles solution.

The UKs largest introduction agency has just arrived with the launch

of Searchmate Stas, the areas own local branch of a national

company, which uses a unique proactive system. Traditionally, dating

agency systems of matching members to other members, limited by

their database numbers, lead to many unhappy blind dates. However,the Searchmate system is a pro-active searching service on your

behalf.

Searchmate Staordshires Director David Meckin believes the single

people of Staordshire are more than ready for this innovative service.

There are over 11 million single people in Britain and the number is

rising, he says. With divorce growing and younger people committing

to themselves to their career, we dont have the time or opportunity to

meet a partner. Also, we are in an ageing population and many more

widows and widowers want to share their lives with someone rather

than remain alone.

All these changing trends have created a huge number of people who

are alone and dont want to be.

But entering the singles game again after a long break can be

daunting. Many people dont know where to go or what to do.

The best and safest way to meet someone, says David, is through

friends or at work, but if that doesnt happen what do you do?

We are a professional friend. We interview you in your own home, get

to know you and get a feel for the person you would be happy with.

Then we proactively search out people for you to meet through

databases, the press and by placing adverts in national and /or localpublications of your choice, which will attract others, who are also

searching.

We interview and vet anyone who wants to meet our member. We ask

for proof of I.D. and take a photograph. We dont believe in blind dates

using 20-year-old pictures! If you are paying for an Introduction service,

you deserve better than that.

Searchmate takes the client one step further with information on body

language, surviving the rst date and telephone coaching to help givethe right rst impression.

We believe we can create more happy couples in the region than

any other service and look forward to doing so!

gardenGood soil is often the answer tothe question why dont myplants grow?

Look at your soil from the plants

point of view! If you were a plant

would you like to spend time inthat nasty thick sticky clay or com-

pacted soil which has weeds and

moss growing on it?

Many soils already contain the food

a plant wants but it is locked up, as

the soil structure isnt right for theroots to take it up as food. Its like

being locked out of the supermar-

ket when you are hungry you can

see the food but cant get it.

What to do? Well its simple to get

the soil right for most plants. Com-

post made from decomposed or-

ganic matter is what is needed so

well rotted manure or spent mush-room compost (do not add mush-

room compost if your garden has

rhododendrons or other acid lov-

ing plants in it) is ideal. Dont add

peat as it doesnt give soil a good

structure and it is a declining re-

source.

Dig and fork over the soil to a spades

depth and remove the weeds ei-

ther by digging out or spraying

with weed killer. Then spread a

layer of soil improver over the top

to a depth of 4 inches (10cms) and

lightly mix it into the top 6 inches.

The manure will open up the soiland help it retain moisture making

it an ideal environment for plant

roots. Aim for a crumbly soil thats

easy to dig into. It will also add

some food and release the locked

up nutrients making them avail-

able to plants - yummy!

RecipeHoney Fudge

The River Cottage Family Cookbook

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall & Fizz Carr

1. Put the sugar, evaporated milk and water in the saucepan. The pan

should be no more than about a third full at this stage, as the hot mixture willbubble up dramatically later. Place over a low heat and stir until the sugar

has dissolved. Then stir in the salt and honey. Stand the sugar thermometer

in the pan.

2. Raise the heat and bring the syrup to a erce bubbling boil, stirring

every half a minute or so to ensure it isnt catching on the bottom of the

pan. When the temperature on the thermometer reads 116deg C, turn o the

heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes. Oil the tin lightly.

3. Cut the butter into 5 or 6 pieces and drop them into the mixture.

As you do so, stir vigorously with the wooden spoon. The butter will melt

into the thickening syrup. Keep stirring. As the mixture cools and thickens it

will start to become grainy. Now its time to pour it into the tin. Dont hang

around, or it may start to set while you are pouring it!

4. Use a sharp knife to mark o the fudge into squares before it has

completely set. This means pressing the knife partly but not completely

through the fudge. It will then be very easy to break up the fudge intosquares when it is cooled.

You will need

1kg Granulated sugar

410g tin evaporated milk

100ml waterA pinch of salt

4 tablespoons of set honey

A few drops of vegetable oil to

grease the tin

100g butter

Getting Married in Church

Why choose to get marriedin church when there areso many other options available?

Many couples who book weddings

tell me that they feel this is

somehow the right thing to do,

that they would not feel properly

married unless it were in church

and before God. (I must add that

couples who choose to get married

elsewhere are indeed properly

married!).

At a wedding we make the

most amazing

p r o m i s e s

of lifelong

commitment

to the personwe love. It is

good to do this

in church in the presence of God.

For one thing we need all the help

we can get! But more seriously the

church building and the assurance

of Gods blessing fits the solemnity

and joy of the occasion.

For some cost is an issue. At St

Deiniols Church in Hawarden to be

married it costs a basic 350. This

includes an organist. If you would

like the extras of a choir and the

bells, it will cost 510.

On occasions we

do marry people

who have been

divorced, but

we will want

to talk aboutt h i s b e f o r e

hand.

As part of the deal we include a

session on marriage preparation.

Couples often approach this a little

nervously, but the response forms

at the end of the session have been

invariably positive. We feel that we

should give the space to couples

getting married to think about the

meaning of marriage. There is

much more to getting married than

the wedding day itself.

If you would like to talk more

about being married in church,

please feel free to contact me.

Combining a turbo-charged twin guitar attack with earthshaking bass, ballistic blast-beats

and the kind of throat-shredding screams that cause nightmares,SEVERENTH havedeveloped a mature modern metal sound which switches between aggression and melody

eortlessly, making their music not only intense but also catchy

The band consists of vocalist and front man, Peet Bailey, Guitarists Ste Ensall, Jay Ruddock,

DanI Partridge on drums and Ben Jones on Bass.

Determined and ferocious the Chester quintets music is the product of both modern day

inuences such as Devildriver, Chimaira and Arch Enemy but also the old-school of Metallica,

Pantera, Sabbath and Maiden.

In May 2007, Severenth entered the prestigious MCC studios in Cheshire to record their

debut demo. The demo featured three tracks The Regret, Age of Paranoia and Burnt &

If you are happy in your house, butfeel it lacks space or the layoutneeds changing, the rst thing to do is

decide which areas of the property you

would like to extend and improve.

Before you go ahead with any plans, its

essential to make sure the work is done

by a reputable FMB builder with the

correct planning permission and building

regulations approvals. Otherwise, when

the time comes to move house, you maynd yourself with a few problems.

Once you are comfortable with your

ideas, make a list of your priorities,

get a scheme drawn up and then seek

planning permission. Once you have

approval, you can choose a builder,

prepare detailed paperwork and get

on with the job - the key then is not to

change your mind!, says Roy Ilott from

the Federation of Master Builders (FMB).

There are two ways of adding extra living

space to your house:

to create extra room without altering

the external appearance of your home.Costing between 15,000 and 35,000,

they can add about 15% to the value

of your house. Most homes built before

1975 are suitable for a loft conversion,

which adds another room or two in the

attic space. The work takes about 12

weeks and the builders access the roof

from the outside, which means there

shouldnt be too much disruption until

they break through to build the new

stairs.

can create good practical space such as

a bigger kitchen or dining room. Costing

between 30,000 and 50,000, one-

storey extensions are more common,

but a two-storey extension can create

another bedroom or bathroom without

going into the loft.

Major alliance with Bill SmithMotorcycles in Chester

Lampkin & Co are proud to announce that they have been appointed by the famous, almost historic,motorcycle dealership in Chester Bill Smiths Motorcycles to run the Bill Smith Motorcycles AccidentClaimsline from their headquarters in St. Davids Park, Ewloe.

General Manager of Bill Smiths Mark Smith has considered carefully this alliance and is happy

to endorse the Claimsline which fits squarely with the Bill Smiths Motorcycle customer care

policy.

Bill Smiths Motorcycles share Lampkin & Cos view that no referral fees should be

charged by dealers and garages to merely refer personal injury claims to solicitors. This

money comes from the amount available to spend on the legal costs and gives poor

client value. Bill Smiths Motorcycles who pride themselves in offering the highest

level customer care wish to make it absolutely clear that any of their clients involved

in non-fault motorcycle accidents will be referred to Lampkin & Co free of charge.

Further Lampkin & Co will provide any clients who unfortunately have had non-fault

accidents and been injured 250 to spend on motorcycle products of their choice at

Bill Smiths in Chester.

Thereafter all cases are conducted on a strict No win No fee basis with Lampkin

& Co showing clients our top quality service

from start to finish.

Full repairs, credit hire and replacement

clothing can be provided by Bill Smiths. We

aim to give injured motorcyclists the best

value when disaster happens.

(The only conditions are that the case contains

an injury of a value in excess of 1,000 and/or

damage in excess of 5,000)

New sections of a purpose-built promenade are now open to

the public alongside the River Dee. Stretching from the Groves

to the Cop Park on Sealand Road, its a fascinating walkway, with

many points of interest and views, previously in-accessible to the

people of Chester.The walkway takes in the Roodee, Little Roodee and Crane-

Wharf along the way and was constructed with support from

various funders which included the Water in Historic City

Centres (WIHCC) project, a project which is part of the

European Unions interregional programme for North-West

Europe.

The new trail (Groves to Cop Park) is approximately 2miles

(3km) and listed here are places/points of interest to helpyou plan your walk and enjoy the rich heritage of Chesters

riverside.

1. Starting at the Groves, commence towards the racecourse

along the Castle Drive. Take in the Weir as you pass, a structure

originating from as far back as 1092. Steps were built in later

years to help migrating salmon pass over this barrier - hence the

name Salmon Leap for the flats on the opposite side of the River

in Handbridge.

2. OLD DEE BRIDGE & HYDRO ELECTRIC STATION. The

bridge is thought to date from 1387. Alterations over the years

have included the widening of the upstream side by 7ft (2m) in

1826 to provide the present footpath.

The Hydro-electric station was opened in1913 on the site of the

old Dee-Mills on the City side of the bridge to use the excess

water created by the weir to generate some electricity. Since1951 it has become a water pumping Station as rising demands

in electricity over the years, meant it was no longer viable.

3. CHESTER CASTLE - Passing along Castle Drive, Chester

Castle becomes visible on your right.

4. GROSVENOR BRIDGE - Passing through the Little Roodee

car park you come under the vast and very impressive Grosvenor

Bridge. Opened in 1832 and designed by Thomas Harrison, the

bridge had the widest single span arch in the world. A modelbridge can be seen nearby in Castle Drive.

5. THE RACECOURSE - Known as the Roodee - this is the oldest

racecourse in Britain and the Walkway trundles nicely around

the race-track itself. From here you can view the skyscape of

Chester from different points as you pass.

6. RAILWAY VIADUCT - After passing through the Grosvenor

Bridge onto the Racecourse walkway, you pass under the railwayviaduct at the other end. This impressive structure has a mass

of arches dotted all along it as it heads off towards the City,

alongside the Roodee.

After passing under the Railway Viaduct a whole new promenade

section sees you pass the Racecourse Stable blocks and plush

new residential apartments before you arrive at the Old Port

area (also known as Crane Wharf). This was a previously

inaccessible stretch of the riverside which was cut - off by the

former gasworks, the site now occupied by the stables.

7. CRANE WHARF From the approach to Crane - Wharf you

will see on your right the Water Tower. Built in 132 as the New

Tower to help protect the City from any ship- borne attack.

(Of course back then it stood in the waters of the River Dee!)

The river has long since changed its course and the Wharf was

developed during the second half of the 18th Century. Taking

sea-going vessels of up to 350 tons, the port was connected tothe City by a new road (now known as New Crane Street). The

walkway here has been constructed directly above the former

quay and a listed former riverside warehouse still remains.

8. COP-PARK Walk along out of Crane Wharf (Old Port) passing

the various new riverside apartments, you will pass the Dee-

Lock where the Shropshire Union Canal meets the River Dee.

Currently undergoing some renovation the lock was constructed

in1801.

After passing the lock, a short walk onto Sealand Road brings

you to Cop-Park. This is named after the bank (cop) whichis still clearly visible and was raised in the early 18th century

to protect low-lying areas from flooding. A Cheshire Cheese

Warehouse stood here, next to the bend in the river in the late

18th Century.

After the Cop-Park - beyond the river bend, it is worth a little

look at the new-cut a straight section of the river made from

cutting a channel through marshes in the 1730s to aid navigation

between Chester and the open sea. Here on, a newly createdpath/cycleway extends riverside to Queensferry in North Wales

(approx 8 miles away).

Do enjoy exploring the fascinating walkway, but as ever, by

the river, do take care and be safe. Please also note that the

racecourse section is not open on race days.

DVDreviewA fairy tale too far?

It always worries me slightly

when a lm as obviouslyexpensive to make as this one,

featuring such an array of stars

(Peter OToole, Michelle Pfeier,

Robert de Niro, Sienna Miller,

Ricky Gervais, David Walliams) is

available on DVD quite

so soon. It has evidently failed atthe box oce, so why? Just how

bad is it?

The answer is not at all.

It is a fantasy escape movie in

the grand tradition, a tale of

nding the important qualities

in oneself and others, of nding

true love, of ghting witches

with great and terrible powers, of

mad pirates with split personality

issues and much general

derringdo. Above all, and as

the presence of some of the cast

would suggest to be the case, it

is very funny. The transformation

by the witch of Mark Williams

(Mr Weasley from the Harry

Potter lms) from a goat

to human form, though

unfortunately

one who retainshis goatish habits

and abilities is

a comic tour de

force. Though

this performance

is purely visual,

there are manyexcellent

moments in the

script, which is so

tongue in cheek

as to defuse any

potentially scary

moments for theyounger viewers

immediately, especially when

even the villains so obviously fail

to take themselves seriously.

For me, the weak spot was the

story. For example, the principal

female lead was a star. Yes, aheavenly body fallen to earth in

human form in order to become

the love interest for our young

hero. Now I realise that this is

merely escapism, but it seemed

an odd premise

and one whichI found myself

questioning

again and again

to the possible

detrimentof

concentrating

on the lm. Butthat is probably

because I am

a middle aged

bloke who has

lost the art of

suspending

belief. Betterthat I just sit back

and laugh with the rest of them,

because there is plenty to laugh

at: far more than the lms early

arrival on DVD would have you

believe.

pubreviewFollowing last months excursions outinto the countryside, I thought that thismonth I should conne myself within the

realms of suburbia. With this in mind I set

o for Handbridge

to see exactly what

had been done to a

part of my youthful

stamping ground; the

Red Lion. From the hazy

memories of my drink

fuelled excesses of the

early 70s, the Red wasa simple, honest to

goodness pub with no

pretentions whatever.

Blind Alecs idea of

culinary sophistication stretched to oering

toothpicks with which to attack your pickled

egg. He was a landlord from the old mould; a

seller of beer. My God, things have altered. I

know all things must change, but to witnesschange of this magnitude to somewhere once

so familiar is to feel the bed rock of ones life

shifting. However, once I had got over the

shock and begun to examine the place with

a less jaundiced eye, it all began to make a

little more sense. The days of the street corner

pub making a living from its wet sales alone

are long gone. Today food is the passage

to survival. If you are situated on the edgeof a town oering the choice of dining that

Chester does, then in order to make a splash

you must be a bit dierent and the Red Lion

has certainly made an eort to achieve that.

The route that they have chosen is that of

a chique City wine bar aiming at those that

want a relaxing drink and meal also at those

returning home from a hard days work. But

during my stay there was an encouraging

lunchtime trade, but it still deserved more

attention that it was getting.

I was greeted by a

very pleasant young

waitress who was

busily polishing the

ttings of the already

immaculate counter

in this minimalist, yet

surprisingly comfortable

bar. The curmudgeon

in me was immediately

aronted by an array

of beer pumps with

nothing hand-pulled,

until I noticed with

relief a Timothy Taylors sign. A welcome sight

anywhere and in this instance, very well kept

into the bargain.

I asked for a menu and realised how farremoved the place now was from the old Red

Lion I remembered. The menu was delightfully

written, with amusing drink related poems

and a staggering array of very reasonably

priced cocktails. The food portion however,

was limited to several starters and a selection

of lled paninis; further underlining the

attempt to create an essentially Mediterranean

caf society feel to the place. I ordered thesoup of the day, which was a (genuinely)

home made cream of vegetable and but for

a slightly heavy hand with the salt, delicious.

I followed with a toasted Panini lled with

chicken, mozzarella and sweet chilli sauce. It

came with a fabulously dressed salad, home

made minted potato salad and coleslaw.

Seemingly simple, yet perfectly done, very

tasty and 6.15 for the two which would not

buy a couple of sandwiches in a motorway

services. The menu promises an extension

of the food range soon and if this standardis maintained, it will be worth another look.

Having soaked up the atmosphere, I stepped

outside half expecting to nd myself in central

Manchester: still being in Handbridge felt

incongruous. If however, you are this side of

town looking for a light lunch, you could do

far worse.

range are, the price range to go for, or maybe

whats unusual and catches your eye. Its

important to make notes on each wine you

taste, because believe me, you wont be able

to call it to mind afterwards! After several

dozen wines the old palate can get very

tired. You see, we work very hard to bring

you all our lovely wines, and make sure that

each is researched so you know where each

one has come from. Why not come and see

whats new on our shelves this month?

Ido get asked a lot how we choose the winesfor the shop, so I thought Id give you a littleinsight into how the shop is stocked. The rst

myth to dispel is that we wander around

France dropping randomly into picturesque

little vineyards and haggling with an old guy

in braces and wielding a pair of secateurs; its

just not that glamorous Im afraid. We buy

from a range of importers and agents who

do all the globetrotting and tapas eating

for us. If the agency is very large, we have a

good old fashioned sales rep who bobs in

from time to time with samples and sales

bumf, or if it s a small independent importer,we get an occasional visit and a great wealth

of extensive knowledge on the end of a

phone. These are all the guys who I regularly

strongarm into guest speaking for us at our

tasting nights.

There are also quite a lot of portfolio tasting

fairs. This is where a number of importers

and agents come together and show a

range of wines from their list, or sometimes

a single agency will show their entire range

by bringing over all their growers and

winemakers. Contrary to popular belief,

these events arent a big free for all where

everyone gets sozzled and has a party - its

serious business. There are big three foot

high bins full of sawdust by each table, and

once youve swilled and tasted your wine, it

gets spat and thrown into these spittoons.

Its very bad form to over indulge at these

events - its business after all. Before you

even begin tasting, you need to have yourstrategy. There are literally hundreds of wines

on show and you cannot possibly taste them

all, so you need to sit down with your listings

booklet and decide where the gaps in your

At the centre of this rural-feeling community,Huntington Village Hall is used for many of theareas social events and clubs.

The hall has been in existence since just after the

2nd World War after being built on land behind

Butterbache Road that was donated for community

use and it rst served as an intended recreational

facility for the returning soldiers and their families.

Over the years, many events and activities have

presided in the hall including youth clubs, dances,

bingo and a drama club all sadly, no longer

in existence. Still today though however, many

organisations make the hall their home including

Huntington Under- Fives playgroup, Seniors, W I, thelocal Huntington Brownies & Guides and thriving

jujitsu and dance classes.

The village hall is run today as a registered charity

by a committee of volunteers (all local) who

oversee the day to day upkeep and care to keep

the hall up and running for the local community.

The committee hold various fundraising

events throughout the year including summer,Christmas and Easter fairs, and the ever popular

Christmas variety show in early December, which

sees a general mix of talented (ish!) local adults

and children doing comedy, singing , jokes and

drama etc.

In addition to this a childrens talent show isheld each year, giving Huntingtons children

The Village hall is available for anybody to hire be it childrens parties (or adults!, classes of any

sessions etc. It is a spacious, well-maintained

building which has recently been granted funding

for a new toilet facility and cloakroom area.

Now that spring is here, summer is just around thecorner and with it comes the wedding season.Weddings can take place at any time of year but the

majority of us would like to guarantee good weather,

hence the summer bookings. For those tying the knot

this year, your plans should be well under way, andhopefully going well, but for those couples who have

recently got engaged, the fun starts here.

When arranging a wedding try to allow yourselves

enough time to organise the wedding you both wish

for. After all, it will probably be the most special

and memorable day of your lives. It can be a time

consuming task and generally takes 12-18 months to

plan properly. At the outset, you need to decide who

is paying for what and it will save a lot of heartache

later on if you get this step right! As a large part of

your cost will depend on how many people will be

attending the ceremony, it is a good idea to draw up

a preliminary list at an early stage to give you some

idea of numbers.

As soon as you agree on a date you need to book

the church / civil ceremony as soon as you can.

Arrange to meet either the church minister or the

registrar so that arrangements can be made and the

notice of intention to marry can be issued. If it is

a church wedding, discuss with the minister about

bell ringing, choirs, style of service, permission for

photographers and whether confetti is acceptable in

the church grounds.

One thing to consider at an early stage would be a

wedding insurance package. We all have this notion

of it wont happen to me but imagine the expense of

cancelling your wedding if it did. It costs from as little

as 26
