Irving Berlin’s White Christmas



When Halifax Light Opera Society stages its next musical production at the Victoria Theatre, Halifax in late November, audiences will be able to singalong to the world’s most popular ‘popular’ song.

For the society is staging Irving Berlin’s ‘White Christmas’ just in time to give everyone a festive glow. The stage show is based on the film starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney.

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the version sung by Bing Crosby is the best-sell-ing single of all time, with estimated sales in excess of 50 million copies worldwide.

It was released on July 30, 1942, as part of an album of six songs from the film Holiday Inn. The song initially performed poorly but by the end of October 1942, however, “White Christmas” topped the “Your Hit Parade” chart.

Following its prominence in the film Holiday Inn, the composition won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1942. The version most often heard today is not the original 1942 Crosby recording, as the master had become damaged due to frequent use. Crosby re-recorded the track on March 18, 1947. The success of the song “White Christmas” eventually led to the second film based on the song.

Halifax Light Opera Society will be performing the stage show developed only a few years ago. It is a real coup for the society as the show travels around in turn at Christmas time to major centres and this year will also open in the West End.

Gardening - Take Your Seats Please

Cont. P44

As a gardener, being bound by the Horticultural Hippocratic Oath means that I am destined for a life where I am unable to just sit and enjoy the beauty of either my or someone else’s creation – I’m always “on duty” to give advice or treat sick and ailing gardens! But for everyone else, unencumbered by this annoying affliction, planning where you are going to do your entertaining and enjoy some al fresco dining, or simply providing somewhere to park your bottom after a hard day’s graft, is an important consideration.

For the majority of us, this normally constitutes a paved (or decked) patio area adjacent to the house so we can step out the back door and reach a chair without spilling too much of our gin and tonic. Even so, sun worshipers will naturally migrate to the sunniest and hottest spot in the garden and, obviously, a shady retreat is essential for the rest of us! The next bit is the fun bit - deciding what on earth you’re going to sit on – and the world really is your oyster. Traditionally, there are those ubiquitous teak (from “managed sources” of course!) patio sets that gently mature (otherwise known as decay!)

over the years to something akin to driftwood, unless you give them an annual libation of oil or some other kind of preservative. Alternatively, their aluminium counterparts come in an amazing array of styles and prices.

At this point I must offer a word of advice – don’t scrimp on the size of your seating area or else, just as in the rest of your house, you will always overcrowd the space and will quickly regret not splashing out on something a bit more man-sized in the first place.

Chairs slipping off the edge of the paving and tipping your guests and their plates of food into the flower borders may be highly amusing at the time but, when your grandma ends up impaled on the Berberis, maybe it’s time to re-consider things!

Personally I like to see some free thinking come into play when it comes to the actual seats. If you have a small courtyard, it makes a lot of sense to incorporate features such as raised planting beds into seats, incorporating a lovely mix of herbs and flowers in the adjoining beds to create an aromatic paradise. Or, if you prefer something more contemporary, how about something like this striking curved bench we designed and built as part of a smart modern garden? (see photo) This is perfect if you don’t want to faff about with messy furniture cluttering up the patio and would rather have something which is integral to and enhances the rest of the garden design – painting it white does just that!

Rightly popular these days are more “organic” arrangements using chunky cubes of wood in various sizes and, my particular favourite, gabions filled with something unusual like broken terracotta pots and given a hardwood lid to make a stunning and useful garden feature. Dotted around the garden in strategic locations, they not only look great but also offer a brilliant, eco-friendly solution to providing extra habitats for a whole range of wildlife that will enjoy nestling in all the crevices.

Lastly, and arguably most importantly, those of a romantic nature should look no further than the Love Seat – a curling ‘S’ shaped two seater based on the yin and yang symbol – a perfect spot to share a glass of bubbly and celebrate important events in your life such as wedding anniversaries!!

This is coffee and walnut cake reinvented. I have found on occasions that this cake can be dry and not very well flavoured – well this is the exception. It is moist, full of flavour and is always a very popular afternoon treat.

Ingredients: 25g Instant coffee powder 120g Boiling water 200g Unsalted butter 80g Milk 550g Castor sugar 120g Finely chopped walnut 450g SR flour 1.5 tsp Baking powder 6 eggs

Method: Essentially this is a very easy cake to make. Put the boiling water in a mixing bowl and add the coffee

powder. Add the butter and mix in, then add the sugar, milk and eggs then sieve in the flour and baking powder. Finally, add the chopped walnuts and mix thoroughly.

Preheat your oven to 170oC and line two or three 23cm cake tins – depending on how many layers you wish to have. Pour the mix into the prepared cake tins and bake for

about 20-25 minutes, depending on whether you have used two or three tins. Remove from the tins after 5 minutes and transfer to a cooling rack. When cool, ice with a butter cream. Mix 100g butter with 2 tbsp coffee essence and then slowly stir in the icing sugar until you reach the desired consistency. Spread the icing on each layer and place walnuts on the top.

Have a large slice and enjoy!

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING?Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Manager Andy Routledge feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Elland, Greetland, Stainland, West Vale, Holywell Green, Sowood and Jagger Green areas & Andy is finding that his approach is a major

factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done

work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Andy a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!
