Is Your Woodburner/Open Fire Safe? Safety Tips On P37

I’m starting with a reminder this month - the clocks go back on Sunday 28th October by 1 hour which marks the end of British Summer Time (I know, if feels like it never actually started).

So, that means I’ll no longer be able to justify wearing flip flops but on the plus side it means I will be able to justify putting the heating on and lighting the woodburner without Mr B moaning and saying “put another jumper on, it’s Summer!”

If you’ve got a woodburner or open fire can I recommend you take a look at page 37 and read our little article on how many times you should have your chimney swept to ensure the safety and efficiency of your fire.

There are lots of local events to look forward to in October (see pages 4-6) and a great ‘good food market’ which starts this month at The Royal William Yard which sounds like it will be worth a look.

Finally, if you know anyone who is looking to earn a few extra pennies delivering Signpost Magazine for me then please put them in touch (see advert opposite) - I’m looking for a reliable person to take on Yealm Road, Newton Ferrers for me to free up my time so I can include Membland in my distribution.

I’ll be back in November

Funding Opportunities for Parishes from the Yealm to the Avon.

I am delighted to confirm availability of two funding sources which I would be really grateful if you could promote in your parishes and through your parish newsletters, websites and magazines.

The first is the Locality Fund which is £2000 per parish. This is for non-profit making clubs, groups or associations. There is quite a lot of discretion on what this fund can be used for but ideally it for projects that will attract match funding, do not incur future funding commitments to DCC and can be made up of a number of smaller bids. The intention is that projects seeking funding should ‘add value’ to beneficial local activity and to support work which furthers the County Council’s strategic objectives

The second fund is from the ‘Invest in Devon’ fund. This is for capital projects and I have a total of £20000 available. I have committed £5000 towards the repairs of the public steps at Wembury for the Coastal Footpath and previous uses have been to supply defibrillator units, towed salt spreaders, refurbishment of sports pavilions and

contributions to new permissive community driven footpaths.

Any bids need to be able to deliver as soon as possible and certainly need to be allocated by the end of this year.

I should be grateful if bids could come through to me. I will ask that the bids are supported by the Parish Councils to ensure there is as much co-ordination of effort and alignment of activity as possible.

This applies to community groups, sports clubs and community projects in the Parishes of Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, Yealmpton, Holbeton, Ermington, Ugborough,Bittaford, Modbury, Kingston, Ringmore, Bigbury and Aveton Gifford.

If you have any queries then please do not hesitate to contact meWilliam Mumford, Cabinet Member Economy Enterprise and Employment, Councillor Yealmpton Division, Devon County CouncilC/O Point House, Noss Mayo, Plymouth PL8 1EW01752 873002 [email protected]

5 Reasons Why It Pays To Install Security Gates:1. Safe and SecureThe benefit of an automated entry system is ease of use. This allows you to ensure that your gates are closed at all times when not in use. A closed gate will help keep your children and pets safe within the boundary of your property.2. Acts as a deterentKeep unwanted visitors out - the more difficult you make it the more likely they are to walk on.3. May Reduce Your Insurance PremiumSince all insurance companies are interested in lessening claims, they are willing to grant meaningful discounts to custumers that enhance home security. Insurance companies have specific definitions regarding the type of security they require their customers to install but it’s worth checking with your insurance company how much you could potentially save.

4. Less MaintenanceIf you choose a wrought iron gate such as those supplied by Westcountry Gates & Barriers, you’ll find they are galvanised and powder coated insuring a long lasting maintenance free life.5. Enhance the look of your homeGet the job done properly and you’ll find the superior quality and finish of security gates really do add to the security and appearance of your property.

Do you already have gates?Call Westcountry Gates & Barriers on 01752 338990 and they’ll carry out a FREE site survey to see if your existing gates can be automated either by solar or electric powered automation!

TimberTimber boards are a fabulous choice: available in a range of colours and patterns, they just get more attractive as they age. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to recondition an existing wood floor; otherwise, choose new hardwood from an environmentally friendly source, or perhaps seek out recycled boards in architectural salvage yards. Solid wood floors can be sanded, painted, limed, stained, waxed or varnished. Cheaper, but less long-lasting, are either a multi-layered or veneered wood floor, where the surface is a thin layer of hardwood attached to a base of cheaper wood, MDF, cork or plywood; or a wood-effect floor, in which a photograph of wood is bonded to a chipboard base and protected with a high-pressure laminate surface.

CarpetCarpet is another great choice: soft, warm and quiet underfoot. There are two main types: woven, which is harder-wearing and more expensive, and tufted, the durability of which is related to its pile height and density (short, dense pile is the toughest). Natural wool looks beautiful and is long-lasting and fire-resistant, but expensive; while cheaper, man-made fibres may look unattractive or not wear well. A popular solution is a combination of the two (perhaps 80% wool and 20% nylon). Finally, remember that a

good quality underlay is essential.

Natural fibresIn a wide range of colours and weaves, sisal, coir, seagrass, rush and jute are warm and soundproof and, often, good value for money. As you’d expect, the rougher the surface, the more hard-wearing it will be – so you may find sisal and coir uncomfortable underfoot at first. Jute has the softest feel, but is the least durable. As with carpet, a stain inhibitor is advisable for natural fibre flooring.

Hard surfacesSandstone, limestone, granite, marble and terrazzo are expensive floorings that last a lifetime, though they are hard, noisy and cold underfoot. In areas that might get wet, such as kitchens or bathrooms, choose a version that is matt or slightly textured – sanded for a rough finish, or riven for an attractive, hand-split effect. Terracotta and ceramic tiles have similar qualities but are cheaper and offer less of a luxury look. Ceramic tiles are heat- and water-resistant, hard-wearing and low maintenance. They vary widely in price and come in a vast array of shapes, sizes and designs, but all are liable to crack if something is dropped on them.

Sheet flooringSofter and warmer than stone or timber, sheet floorcoverings – vinyl, linoleum and cork –

Take The FloorKatherine Sorrell offers a guide to fabulous flooring, from the traditional to the unconventional

by Katherine Sorrell

are relatively inexpensive and straightforward to lay (even on slightly uneven floors), and are easy to clean. Lino is a traditional material made from natural ingredients, and has its own lovely patina, while vinyl is a PVC-based man-made material, which comes in a huge range of textures and patterns, many of them good imitations of stone, wood or ceramic tiles. Cork, often under-rated, is hard-wearing, resilient to water and offers an interesting, natural look.

RugsWith any flooring other than carpet, you will probably want to put down one or more rugs, adding softness, colour and extra interest. A rug can disguise poor flooring – and can be taken with you when you move. Often a good starting point for a decorative scheme, rugs come in an infinite variety of shapes and sizes, textures and colours, patterns and prices. There’s a wonderful range of hand-made rugs from around the world, including Indian dhurries, Greek flokatis, Middle Eastern kelims and French aubussons. Modern machine-made rugs can be very attractive, and you can even have a rug woven to your own design.

Unusual Choices• A leather floor (tiles or sheets) is warm,

soft and quiet underfoot, and requires little more than regular buffing and waxing. It wears well, too – scuffs and marks acquired over the years are part of its attraction.

• Concrete floors, though cold and hard, can be dyed in innumerable colours and given an interesting variety of finishes, from polished to painted.

• Rubber floors have a cool, stylish look and are great for waterproofing bathrooms. They come in tile or sheet form, and can be solid-coloured or patterned, smooth or studded.

• Bamboo is thoroughly environmentally friendly, being fast-growing and ever-regenerating. The stems are laminated together to form boards as strong as wood, then coated with lacquer for a durable surface.

Mitsubishi Outlander 2012

New car launches take place pretty frequently. Audi, for example, has delivered no less than 21 new models into showrooms since 2010. In those same two years, niche Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi has launched absolutely nothing. That’s why, as car launches go, this new Outlander is a pretty big deal.

So has the wait been worth it? Well, in short, yes. No longer a partnership with Peugeot Citroen (who sold versions of the predecessor), the new Outlander is described by Mitsubishi as an ‘engineer’s car’. What it means is efficiency, space and refinement were all high on the agenda – looks, however, appear to have slipped off it.

In fact, it’s worth dealing with our main complaint now. If there’s one thing that lets the new Outlander down, it’s the conservative styling. At a time when design is at the forefront of our lives, the Mitsubishi will be hard pressed to stand out in a class bristling with good-looking alternatives.

However, the new model does make a strong case for itself. Let’s start under the bonnet. In the UK, we’ll only

get a 2.2-litre diesel engine and a four-wheel drive powertrain. Mitsubishi has worked hard on the unit’s green credentials. We drove a pre-production model, but by the time the car is launched in November, the maker hopes it will produce under 145g/km (down from 165g/km) and return more than 50mpg.

The 148bhp engine doesn’t lack grunt either. With 380Nm of torque it pulled strongly on the German Autobahns and twisty mountain roads that made up our test route. The 2.2-litre is likely to be good for 125mph and will crack the benchmark 60mph sprint in under 10 seconds. What’s really impressive though is the refinement. Inside, the engine is barely audible, while wind and tyre noise are kept to a minimum too.

If we were to be picky, we did find the steering a little numb at the dead ahead, but the manual six speed gearbox was direct and pleasant to use. There was also a noticeable lack of body roll for a 4x4 in corners.

New technology, for Mitsubishi at least, will also make a debut on the

Outlander. There’s a lane departure warning system, adaptive cruise control and a low-speed anti-collision system which will apply the brakes for drivers if it thinks you’re about to hit the car in front – at a roundabout, for example.

What will come as standard is yet to be finalised, but expect the lot on the top-of-the-range model. There’s also a new multimedia system with sat nav, which is far easier to use than before and an electronic tailgate.

But by far the biggest selling point for the Outlander is the two very-usable extra seats in the boot floor. They can be extended in seconds and fold away completely flat. They’re perfect for parents who sometimes need an extra set of chairs for the school run.

Mitsubishi aims to sell 4,000 Outlanders a year in the UK at slightly more than the current model (around £25,000). We think that could be a tough ask with this sole offering. However, when the plug-in hybrid version arrives next year offering real world economy of 140mpg, it could be a very different story indeed.

Bean SceneCoffee purists scoff at instant, saying there’s no substitute for ground coffee. The cheapest and easiest way to experiment with ground coffee is to buy it in a tin and stick it in a cafetière; expect to pay around £10 for a simple one or as much as £60 for Bodum’s Columbia double-walled cafetière, heat insulated to keep your coffee fresh. If you’d like to turn your coffee into a latte, £7 to £15 pays for a battery-

powered milk frother.

Cafetières aren’t the only cheap choice: the Aeropress (around

£20 online) comes with rave reviews. It looks like a cross between a cafetière and a pump, and that’s essentially what it is: it uses gentle air pressure to extract more flavour from your coffee. Using it’s just a matter of putting in a few scoops of coffee, pouring in hot water and pressing the plunger. The whole process takes less than 30 seconds.

For years most coffee machines in the high street were filter ones, usually consisting of a

reasonably sized jug, a hot plate and a funnel. They’re still around, but in recent years the focus has shifted to machines that make small espressos rather

than huge jugs. Espresso machines come in two forms: ones that use loose ground coffee, and ones that use pods.

DeLonghi’s EC330S Espresso Coffee Machine (around £85) is a good example of the former, with a removable stainless steel filter and an integrated frother that uses steam to create perfect cappuccinos and lattes. They’re not the quietest or the most convenient - the filter only takes enough coffee for a single cup at a time - but there’s no arguing with the superbly tasty results.

If you’d rather use pre-packed coffee pods than loose grounds, DeLonghi’s Espresso Icona range (from around £99)

offers the best of both worlds: it works with Easy Serve Espresso (ESE) pods, or with loose coffee. As with the EC330S, it’s only designed to make one or two drinks at a time.

ESE is the world’s favourite kind of coffee

pod, with versions from big names including Illy, Lavazza and Segafredo, but it isn’t the only one: Nestle has its Nespresso system, while Douwe Egberts has its Senseo. All three systems offer pros and cons: they’re more convenient than loose coffee and less messy, but the coffee isn’t as fresh and in the case of Nespresso and Senseo, you’re locked into one firm’s coffee system. Senseo pods don’t work in Nespresso machines and vice-versa.

Coffee snobs wouldn’t go near either: for them, the only way to make coffee is to grind the beans

yourself. Grinders aren’t as expensive as you might think. Bodum’s Bistro range of electric grinders starts at £79, while Krups’ GVX2 is just £36. It is one more machine to clean however and one more step between waking up and tasting the first coffee of the day. If you’re really serious about your coffee, a coffee machine with its own integrated grinder is a much better idea - but don’t expect to find one going cheap: a good quality bean-to-cup machine such as Gaggia’s R18171 will set you back £699.

#albanoliverVEGGIE TAGINEOne of the better things about Autumn is the wealth of stews, hotpots and one pan dishes that herald pulses, seeds and beans. This chick pea based dish, packed with flavours clings onto the last rays of summer yet peeks at the seasonal treasures to come.Heat the oil in a sauce pan frying the shallots, vegetables and garlic over a medium heat until brown. Add the spice, cook for a minute then add 350ml of the vegetable stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10mins.When the vegetables are soft add the chopped dates, and chick peas to the pan. Stir in the harissa and let simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid is reduced.I served this with about 40g per person of couscous. For this I place the couscous in a mixing bowl add a handful of mixed nuts and seeds. Pour over the remaining stock and cover until ready to use. Fork through your couscous before serving. Garnish to taste here I’ve added, almonds, mint and some parsley finely chopped.

To make Veggie Tagine:1 tbsp olive oil8 shallots, peeled and halved175g diced butternut squash 175g diced sweet potato2 cloves garlic, finely chopped1 tbsp Ras el Hanout spice mix350ml vegetable stock100g chopped dates400g chick peas1tsp harissa paste

Inventions - MatchesThanks to the humble matchstick, we aren’t lighting our birthday cake candles, bonfires and gas stoves by striking sparks off a flint with a piece of steel.

As early as A.D. 577 in China, small sticks of pinewood impregnated with sulphur were used to produce instant flame. In Europe, it wasn’t until 1669 that the alchemist Hennig Brandt discovered the flammable nature of phosphorous. In 1680 an Irish physicist, Robert Boyle (of Boyle’s Law fame) coated a small piece of paper with phosphorous and coated a small piece of wood with sulphur to produce a flame however he didn’t develop his idea into a useable match.

In 1827, John Walker, an English chemist and apothecary coated the end of a stick with certain chemicals and let it dry, starting a fire by drawing the stick across

rough surfaces. His yard-long sticks were cumbersome however, and he never patented it. A version of Walker’s match was eventually

patented by a Samuel Jones, however they also had problems; an initial

violent reaction, an unsteady flame and unpleasant smell.

In 1830 a French chemist, Charles Sauria, substituted white phosphorous for the antimony in Walker’s mixture. White phosphorous is poisonous and the new matches made people sick with an ailment dubbed “phossy jaw”. In 1855, Swede Johan Lundstrom used red phosphorous instead of white and for many decades Sweden held a worldwide monopoly in the manufacture of safety matches.

A Philadelphia lawyer named Joshua Pusey invented the matchbook in 1889 developing small paper matches bound into a pocket sized book. His idea was used by the Mendelssohn Opera Company to advertise their New York opening and suddenly paper matchbooks were everywhere, advertising everything.

The Weather Outside Is Frightful, But The Fire Is So Delightful....Chimneys can be lovely things. They allow you to safely have the comfort of a fire within your house. However, chimney safety is paramount, not only to prevent a fire but to ensure you’re open fire is as efficient as it can be.

So,with thoughts now turning to Winter, it would be a good idea to get prepared and identify any problems with your chimney before you light the first fire of the season.

How often should my chimney be cleaned?These are the recommended minimum intervals between cleaning and should be treated as such. Usage and type of fuel will also influence the intervals between cleaning. If unsure then you should contact a professional Chimney Sweep for advice.

If you burn smokeless fuels - your chimney should be swept a least once a year.If you burn coal - your chimney should be swept at least twice a year.

If you’re burning wood then you should be having your chimney swept at least quarterly when in use.For gas fires - sweep once a year.

Not all Chimney Sweeps are the same:To be sure that you’re chimney is swept correctly you’d do well to check out www.hetas.co.uk.HETAS is the official body recognised by the government to approve solid fuel domestic heating appliances, fuels and services, appliances, fuels and services. Using a HETAS approved sweep gives you peace of mind that the job has been done properly - when it comes to fires, you can’t be too careful!

Follow These Guidelines & Enjoy a Safe, Cosy Fire This Winter

G a rd e n i n g G a rd e n i n g

The late poet Dorothy Frances Gurney wrote that: One is nearer God’s Heart in a garden than anywhere else on Earth. That may be true, but preparing the garden, for growing vegetables, is its own special form of purgatory. Nature conspires to make the task as difficult as possible, so we took it in stages.

Step One – Peat-less pots are go. We chose green bean and mange tout seeds, and filled the little pots from our compost bin. I soon discovered that it’s a fine line between moist and soggy. And that the ‘which plant comes up first’ sweepstake may be subject to tampering. Anne knows who I mean, so we’ll say no more...

Step Two - Mark out the plot, somewhere beyond the cypress tree’s reach to allow for the possibility of direct sunlight. That’s the easy part - it makes you feel like you’re retracing the first, tentative steps of our hunter-gatherer ancestors when they realised that a little porridge might be nice for a change.

Step Three - Dig for Pyrrhic victory, trusting that the veg will subsequently be worthy of your muscles’ sacrifice. Once the soil has been dug,

it’s time to remove the grass and weeds. The chickens loved some of the grass, but the worms received a reprieve, as they were on active service.

Step Four - A ginger beer and a bag of crisps for me. Then the soil needs to be turned over and broken up, to help aerate it (a Scrabble word if ever I heard one). I also removed the stones, which is especially important if you’re planting from seeds.

Step Five - Dig in the pots when the little plants look old enough to fend for themselves. Once they were installed, I added enough bamboo canes and netting to deter any opportunistic gastropod-about-garden. Or so I thought.

Within a day of completing our defences we were invaded, in a flagrant act of mollusc aggression. We employed slug pellets; we - that is, I - made random security patrols. Enemy snails were sent to the chickens for summary execution, also known by the chooks as ‘snack time’. I did try and reason with the slugs, principally because the chickens weren’t keen on them, but settled for either eviction into the back lane or incarceration in the

garden waste bin. But still they came.

My vigilance gradually paid off and our plant casualties decreased. Then came that magical day when the first veg flowers appeared. We weren’t out of the woods (or slugs) yet though and you’d be surprised by the amount of slug pellets we used. Honestly, I don’t know where they put it all.

Having freshly picked beans, from garden to plate in a matter of minutes, is one of life’s little pleasures. Having to play nettle roulette, when picking the mange tout, because I couldn’t be bothered to keep up with the weeding, was less of a joy. The mange tout still tasted great though and it has me thinking about nettle soup.

Next time I’ll let the beanlings grow taller before I plant them in, to give them more of a fighting chance. I’ll also make my own peat-less pots out of old newspaper. It’s the Blue Peter approach to green living.

Carpentry & Joinery


businesses across south Devon are wasting thousands of pounds a year because they are not recycling properly.

a survey of 400 companies in the south Hams and torbay areas has found a massive 85 percent are paying more to throw away items that could be recycled. In some cases the potential savings ran to thousands of pounds a year.

tQ recycling, which carried out the audit, blames widespread confusion about the types of material that can now be recycled.

thanks to technological advances, almost all types of plastic, cardboard, paper, cans, glass, food and building waste can be easily re-used.

With heavy charges levied against all landfill waste, non-recycled material can be up to three times more expensive to dispose of.

tQ’s managing Director, Jon whiley, said: “Many businesses think they have good waste management practices. In fact, many are relying on out-of-date

collection contracts. We also found some people assumed trade recycling could only collect the same as domestic collections, which are often more restrictive.

“As a rule of thumb, make sure your business recycles at least twice as much as it throws away. Any less is potentially damaging your pocket and the environment.”

tQ recycling is an award-winning company that has spearheaded many of the recent improvements to trade waste collections.

The South Hams-based firm offers customers a complete waste collection service with dry recycling stored in one omni container. the recycling is separated by machine at tQ’s torr Quarry recycling plant. Glass and food waste can also be recycled but must be kept in separate containers to avoid contamination.

TQ provides complete waste collection service to companies across south Devon and provides a free waste audit to businesses in the area.www.devonrecycling.co.uk 01548 521613

Recycling confusion is costing Devon firms thousands...

Tricks of the Trade

Professional Make-Up Looks

So you think you know how to apply your make-up? Then think again. We’ve got the best hints, tips and tricks to help you achieve a professional look, and fix some of those troublesome areas too.

Tools of the Trade

No make-up artist would be without a quality brush set. It provides all the tools needed to sculpt, conceal and enhance, whilst ensuring an even application of any product.

Make-up brushes come in many shapes and sizes, and each has its own job. The most essential are:

Foundation brush - this ensures that a totally flawless finish is created. It makes liquid foundation easy to apply and guarantees an even covering.

Concealer brush - allows for precision when concealing any blemish, dark circle or imperfection.

Powder brush - foundation should always be set with powder and this brush offers the perfect covering.

Blusher brush - a good blusher brush will effortlessly sculpt the cheekbones and provide a well- blended hint of colour.

Eyeshadow brushes - recent make-up trends have dictated that the focus is on lips rather than eyes, however eye-shadow shouldn’t be overlooked. Swap dark shades for a neutral and natural palette and use your eye-shadow brushes to create definition.

Always remember to contour the eye by applying the lightest colour to the inner corners and under the brow bone, mid-colour to your socket and darkest shade to the outer corners.

Lip brush – after trying a lip brush you won’t ever want to be without one. Defining the lips is made easy, and colour looks even and natural.

Make-up brushes that are described as ‘natural’ or ‘bristle’ are often made from squirrel, pony, sable or goat hair, so make sure they’re 100% cruelty free before you buy.

‘Synthetic’ brushes are often far cheaper and mimic the feel of natural bristle.

Tricks of the Trade

Problem? No Problem

Professional make-up artists have a solution for any problem. Here are a few top tips.

Under-Eye Dark CirclesFirstly, prepare the skin under the eyes with an eye gel. Using the correct brush, apply concealer that’s two shades lighter than your foundation - yellow toned versions work well on ivory/beige coloured skin - to the entire area. Use your finger to blend, using a ‘tapping’ motion.

When you apply your foundation over an area that’s just been concealed, be sure to use the same ‘tapping’ motion that you did to conceal it, otherwise you will just be wiping away the product and revealing the dark area.

Under-Eye PuffinessA common mistake that many women make is to try to disguise puffy eyes by using a light coloured concealer. This only draws attention to the problem.

The key is to highlight the shadowy area underneath the puffiness to create balance and even out the look of the under-eye area.

After applying foundation, use a light-reflecting liquid concealer or highlighter and apply just under the puffiness, where the shadowy area is being created, not on the eye-bag itself. Blend by patting the product into the skin.

Over-Plucked EyebrowsFinding the right shape eyebrow for your face is essential, so take care not to over-pluck. However, if your eyebrows are a little sparse, there’s no need to worry, as you can create the look of naturally full brows by using either eye-brow pencil or powder.

Mimic your natural brows by using feather-like strokes when you apply, and be sure never to draw a straight or solid line.

But it’s only October! I hear you cry. And you’d be right!

I think there are three new years that we can reflect on during the year, January the obvious one, April with the new financial year and September being the new academic year.

We set resolutions in the hope that we will change something in the year ahead. When we don’t achieve this goal we might be feel inclined to ‘beat ourselves’ up over it. This is not a healthy option, however if you just set yourself a resolution to keep until the next New Year, which is only three months away, it won’t seem such a mountain to climb.

This is a similar approach to the one we use in coaching. Setting yourself personal goals is a great idea, but too often they just aren’t SMART!

What do I mean? SMART is acronym that coaches use to help their client set goals.

S is for specific. Saying that you want to lose weight, give up smoking, or change your career isn’t specific. You need to consider your motives i.e. do you want to change your career for more money, a better lifestyle or job satisfaction. Each of these reasons would have different implications on reaching your goal. You can add a priority rating to each reason and this helps to identify what we call your ‘hot buttons’ or ‘pressure points’. Identifying these will add meaning to your goal as well as making it more specific.

M is for measurable. What will your goal look and feel like when it is achieved? If your brain cannot identify this measure you are less likely to start working towards your goal and the dreaded procrastination could set in.A is for achievable or appealing. You are the judge of whether something is achievable – don’t measure this against what someone else has done – we are all different. Your goal should be attractive and appealing to you, this helps keep you motivated.

R is for realistic. You want to be successful at reaching your goal. So you need to make sure you have identified any potential obstacles that could stop you achieving. This may mean going back and re-evaluating your initial goal. Walking before you can run is the better strategy.

T is for timed. Setting yourself a timescale or deadline is a great way to ward off procrastination. You do want to achieve this goal. Be realistic in order to keep up the momentum of success.

You can make your goal even SMARTER.

E is for evaluate. Regularly assess where you are with your goal. Write them down and make them visible. Stick it to the fridge, on the front of your diary or as a screen saver on your phone. Anywhere that means you don’t lose sight of your goal. If you are off track it’s time to evaluate.

R is for review. If you are off the track, go back to the beginning and review the whole process again.

Using the SMART/ER acronym can really help you start to action those life or career goals that you have been putting off.

If you are someone who struggles to stick to your goals you may want to consider finding a coach who will help by holding you accountable for your actions.

In 1996, the Canal du Midi became the first canal in the world to receive World Heritage status, as one of the ‘greatest engineering feats of modern times’ and ‘outstanding landscape fashioned by man’. Designed to link the Atlantic to the Mediterranean across south west France, it had been planned since Roman times but work did not start until 1667, taking 14 years and 15,000 people to complete. Sadly, the engineer Pierre Paul Riquet passed away just months before the royal barge opened the first stretch in his native town of Béziers, in 1681.

From Toulouse, where it joins the Canal de Garonne, to the vast Etang de Thau on the Mediterranean, the 245 km long waterway is dotted with over 300 supporting structures, including bridges, locks and canal aqueducts invented by Riquet to cross streams and rivers. The canal tunnel in Malpas was also a world’s first, completed in secret in just a week before the authorities had a chance to find out. They had refused permission on safety grounds. The tunnel remains one of the highlights along the route, rivalled only by Fonserannes, a steep staircase of seven locks and now a listed monument.

For 200 years or so, the canal brought wealth to the region, encouraging agriculture, trade and

related business, from boat yards to inns. It was the cheapest way to transport people and goods since a single barge could carry the equivalent of 125 ox-driven carts. Having turned down the canal because of the cost, the town of Carcassonne soon realised its mistake and agreed eventually to finance a diversion.

Inevitably, the advent of the railway brought commercial trade to an end but right across Languedoc, the Canal du Midi is alive and well, an integral part of the landscape, meandering past lock-keepers’ cottages, hill top castles and red-roofed villages nestling among vineyards and sunflower fields. Fed by reservoirs from the Black Mountain, or foothills of the central range, shaded by plane trees, pines and cypresses which stabilise the banks and preserve moisture, it’s a peaceful haven for holiday barges, yachts and cruisers. Fishermen doze on the banks, swans and ducks nest in the reeds and the old tow path doubles up as a cycling and walking trail.

For those who cruise along the canal, there is plenty of

excitement, working the locks, ducking under low bridges, heading into the tunnel, and plenty to see, from Marseillan and the nearby oyster beds to the medieval walled town of Carcassonne, the largest in Europe, or Toulouse, the vibrant ‘pink city’ basking on the banks of the Garonne. There are picturesque harbours along the way, Castelnaudary, Le Somail, Capestang, wine tasting cellars, flower-draped inns, nature reserves, home to peacock butterflies and 200 species of birds, and glistening lagoons where flamingos feed among the islands.

In Port Lauragais, the Pierre Paul Riquet Centre is dedicated to the history of the canal while at the nearby Seuil de Naurouze, the highest point on the route and the watershed between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, an obelisk has been erected in Riquet’s honour. There is no better place to celebrate this local genius, an engineer with amazing vision but also a caring man who introduced sick pay and rest days for his workers, centuries ahead of his time.

decide to take coins (one of which happens to be cursed) from the bottom of a well in the village only to have the theft come back to haunt them.

This classic tale of a somewhat unusual family unit will ease the youngest of readers into Halloween. Setting out on a walk, ready to scare someone and then settling for frightening themselves, it’s a humorous (or should that be humerus?) story with the best laughs coming when they try to reassemble Dog Skeleton.
