Welcome to the

February 2013

edition of

‘The Hampton

Viewer’

Can you believe it’s February

already - wherever did January go to!

As I’m writing this (end of January),

looking out of the office window,

there’s a white blanket of snow every-

where. It looks absolutely beautiful!

Hope you have all enjoyed the snow

but kept safe at the same time.

Now in February, we already have

the school half term in just a few

weeks and hopefully the weather will

improve. However, if you are looking

for something to do with the children,

either warm indoors or wrapped up

outdoors, please see pages 14, 36

and 37 for some inspiration.

Also, don’t forget

Valentine’s Day this

month and Mother’s

Day next month. If

you are still looking for

a gift for your loved

one, please take a

look through the magazine, there are

some great gift ideas.

As always, I would like to ask you

to support your local businesses

advertising in the magazine and

please mention ‘The Hampton Viewer’

when doing so.

Finally, a huge thank you and

hope you all have a great February.

Until next time!

Does life have to be a pain?

Christmas & New Year is now a distant

memory, the Mayans turned out to be

wrong, the world did not end and so

you still have to face life!

Family dramas, work stress, the stress of

just getting through each day can

sometimes be a full time job.

I f you are a keen horse rider, maybe your body alignment means you are not getting

the best from your riding experience. You

could be a window cleaner, with constant

neck ache, a carpet fitter with knee and

other related problems, a painter/decorator,

a builder, labourer. Whatever you do for a

living or for fun, even if you are a keen and

positive housewife and mother of boisterous

and beautiful little ones, those aches and

pains from fatigue and repetitive strain,

threaten to hold you back, slow down your

step, possibly heighten your emotions,

challenge your coping mechanisms and

maybe even threaten your livelihood.

Whoever you are, whatever you do, if life

feels like it’s a pain, have you ever

considered what you can do to alleviate

that pain & in some cases make it go away?

If you are overweight you might try exercising

or eating less, to see if that helps your

condition and luckily in some people it

does. However, what if it’s not the weight

on your joints which are the problem, what

if it’s the emotional trauma, you can't seem

to get a handle on, what if you need is the

gentle support of a listening ear, or the

touch of wise hands that hear the moan of

your overworked muscles & strained tendons.

What if you could go about your everyday

life, and you discovered that maybe you

didn't have to do it in pain, physical or

otherwise. What would that mean to you?

To some it means 'freedom', an improved

quality of life. It means nights sleeping and

days living to the full. For those of us who

are relatively healthy and haven't arrived at

a place of despair, we might not understand

what this short article is trying to say.

Unfortunately, some of you out there will

understand too well. Touch of Healing is a

healthcare provider, based in West

Pinchbeck near Spalding coming to your area offering therapies in the comfort of

your own home and in Stanground. If the

contents of this article interest you and you

would like to know more, email [email protected] or call

01775 640788 / 07710 756 771 and ask to

speak to Shehnaz. You could log into

www.touchofhealing.co.uk for information

on treatments available at Touch of Healing.

In the meantime here are 5 ways which

can help improve pain conditions.

Eat Sensibly: Good Nutrition with essential

vitamins and minerals are an important fuel

for everyday healthy body mechanisms.

Exercise for up to 30 minutes a day: A

brisk daily walk is as good for the average

person as is an exhausting hour at your local

gym.

Practice yoga regularly: Although DVD's

and books are good, there is no substitute

for precise instruction. There is a yoga group currently running at St Michaels Church.

Email [email protected] for

further information.

Meditation: Learn to take command of the

way you think. A healthy mind translates

into a healthy body.

Get regular bodywork: There is no

substitute for the benefit of therapeutic,

precise touch, either through massage or

manipulation to align the body and relax its

tension and strain. Your car needs a regular

service to maintain its functioning ability.

Though your body isn't a machine, it ages, it

becomes overworked and if you want it to

function at optimum condition, there is no

better remedial method than the healing

touch.

Saturday and Sunday – there will be ridden Shire Horse competitions, vintage

tractors and farm machinery displays, the largest farriery competition on heavy

horses in England and fast and furious dog agility shows.

A Victorian funfair and scores of trade stands, displaying and selling latest

products, provide an entertaining interlude to the main events while the food hall

will be serving up everything from light refreshments to full-course meals and

Sunday Roasts!

If you’re a Shire Horse follower, or

someone simply looking for a fabulous

family day out, come along, we will be

delighted to welcome you.

I t is vitally important that you keep your bike well maintained to ensure it performs as it should, is a pleasure to ride and will last for years to come.

Whether you intend riding through the winter months or put your bike away in the garage or shed for the winter, now is a good time to have it checked over. If you get the bike looked at before putting it into storage, then when you come to start cycling again in the spring, there'll be no nasty surprises.

Here at Bristows we offer reasonably priced basic & full bicycle servicing as well as general cycle repairs, gear tuning, brake adjustments, wheel truing, puncture repairs and more. As a special offer for the month of February

we are offering £5 off our basic service (£40) and £10 off our full service (£80) (excluding parts). Please call us on (01733) 231755 or email

[email protected] to book and bring the advert from this magazine with you when bringing the bike into us.

The Whinge

Suicide Brunette

T his month has been a

d i f f i c u l t mon t h .

Disaster has struck the

household. Since moving

house just before Christmas

(no it really didn’t seem

like a good idea at the

time but sometimes things

work out that way) a

major catastrophe has

fallen upon this otherwise

happy home.

It wasn’t the move itself, that all went

smoothly even if it did take a lot of work –

little tip for those thinking of moving, don’t

do it just a single day after going away on

holiday because it will be a little bit fraught.

The old house went back to the landlord

efficiently with the minimal of remedial work,

nothing more stressful than a couple of

picture hooks to remove and make good.

Neither was it the electricity, gas or water. Those transitions occurred with no fuss

whatsoever.

The post was transferred from old

address to new and even the wheelie bin

cleaners and window cleaner transferred

effortlessly.

So what was the problem; it wasn’t the

dentist, optician or doctor and even Sky

turned up on the arranged day and we had

the TV ready in time for Christmas, in fact we

were nothing more than a few hours without

access to the myriad of Christmas repeats

and dodgy old films.

The problem was much worse than all of

those things put together.

We were unconnected – there I said it.

We were unable to get access to the

internet. Now to a lot of people reading this

you might think “so what”. But to put it in

context my (now ex-) boss (see last month)

suggested that I should be put on suicide

watch. Hilarious, I know. But I’ve been a

month now without regular access to the

web and it’s been absolute hell. I’m

supposed to be starting my own business,

but the first problem is that the business will

be internet based – you might start to see

the beg inni ngs o f

frustration. But that’s just

the tip of the iceberg

because I understand just

how reliant I am on

technology for almost all

aspects of my life & so are

my family & the internet is

the core of the technology.

I’ve even had to resort to

using my mobile to make

phone calls – how quaint –

a function that I’d almost forgotten how to

use. I may even have to dig out my old fax

in order to submit this article on time!

If you think I’m making a fuss over nothing

then I suggest two possibilities, firstly you

generally live an unconnected life and so a

lack of internet won’t matter to you – in

which case I cannot empathize because

I’ve always had a technology driven lifestyle.

The second possibility is that you are con-nected but think I’m exaggerating, in which

case give it a go yourself. Try a whole week

without using the internet, no on-demand

players, no emails & definitely no Wikipedia.

In the midst of all this turmoil at least I’ve

had some time to sort out the house and

empty all the crates the movers left. But I

started to go stir crazy around about Boxing

Day and have found a temporary solution;

free wi-fi hotspots.

However, this brings other problems and

now I’m going to have to spend the next

month detoxing from all the coffee. Which is

why you may have just read some long

rambling sentences in this whinge and

missing commas and pauses where you

might need some – for best effect drink

several very strong coffees and then read it

again because it’ll start to make more sense

if you read it very quickly.

But I shall not start the detox immediately

because I’m still internetless and feel the

need for another coffee!

In The Night Sky #23

I n March this year we should get to see the

comet PANSTARRS, so I thought this month

I would devote this space to explain one

of the fundamentals of modern astronomy –

the Messier Catalogue. This particular

catalogue is one of the staple lists of objects

that all astronomers will hope to tick

everything off on.

Charles Messier was born on 26th June

1730 and spent most of his life comet

hunting. Unfortunately a lot of the time he

thought he’d found a comet it turned out to

be something else – usually a cluster of stars

or a distant galaxy. So he compiled a list of

things that the observer might confuse with

comets but are actually something else –

the Messier Catalogue.

In 1757 he was searching for Halley’s

comet based on information calculated by

another astronomer, Delisle. Unfortunately

these calculations contained an error and

Messier was searching in the wrong place.

He did, however, believe that he’d

discovered a different comet-like object.

This was later discovered to be what we now

know as the Crab Nebula. However,

because of his mistake he created the Mess-

ier Catalogue to prevent confusion for other

comet hunters, the Crab Nebula became

the first item on the list and is also known as

M1. The catalogue was first published by

Messier in 1774 under the title “Catalogue of

Nebulae and Star Clusters” and included

items M1 to M45.

By 1801 Messier discovered his final

comet bringing his tally to 20 (13 original

discoveries and the other 7 co-discoveries.

Messiers’ final catalogue published in 1782

contained 103 items, although since then

another 7 deep space items have been

credited to Messier and today the

catalogue contains 110 items – the brightest

deep space items visible in the Northern sky.

You will have seen at least one of these

items almost every night when you look up

at the sky – you may know it as the seven

sisters or the Pleiades or as Messier dubbed

it, M45 (which appeared as the last item in

his first published list). Why it’s in the list is

unsure because it doesn’t look anything like

a comet and has been known about for

many centuries. Homer makes reference to

itin both the Illiad and the Odyssey and it’s

also mentioned 3 times in the Bible. It is in

actual fact one of the nearest star clusters to

Earth and is very young at around 100 to 150

million years old.

You can find it in Taurus and on the 15th

of February at around 20:00 hrs you’ll see

them right next to Jupiter.

COULD YOU HELP CARE FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S

CHILD?

There are over 300 children in care in Peterborough. We find out from one city couple what it’s like caring for some of those children in need. “It can be a really rocky road at times, but if

you’ve got a spare room and some love to give, it’s definitely the most rewarding thing you can do.” That’s according to Liz and Jenny, who are

two of a number of kind-hearted people in Peterborough who choose to care for children needing a temporary home while they are unable to live with their own families. They both had careers in childcare and a

room to spare and decided that fostering was a natural progression in their lives and something they could really invest in. After six months of interviews, courses and

assessments, the couple were successfully approved to foster. Although a lengthy and thorough process, within an hour of being approved, the couple were contacted and asked if they would take a sibling group of three.

“We had initially agreed to care for 2 children aged 5 to 11, but when we were told it would mean separating one sibling from the other two, we just couldn’t let it happen,” said Liz. Being approved to foster by no means

suggests the challenges are over. There is always more to learn about the child in your care and a variety of courses available to support you along the way. “We went to a class for grief, loss and

separation and it was invaluable. The council’s courses really help teach us how to stay emotionally level,” said Liz. “It’s a lot to adapt to; there are rules and

regulations to follow but we know that they’re in place for a reason. It’s as much about pro-tecting yourself as it is the child, & all part of the role. Safer caring is really, really important. “Our focus is, and always has been the

children; it’s not what we want or need, it’s all about them. We wouldn’t change anything; it has improved our family life in so many ways.”

To find out more about fostering, drop-in for an informal chat over a coffee on: Thurs. 28 February, 3pm to 5pm, Costa Coffee, Brotherhood Retail Park, Walton, Peterborough. Sat. 6 April, 3pm to 5pm, Andronica’s Coffee Shop, Peterborough Garden Park, Eye. Alternatively call (01733) 317427 or visit www.peterboroughfostering.co.uk.

ARIES MARCH 21 - APRIL 20 Friends and social encounters are at the

top of your agenda during February,

particularly around the new moon on the

10th. Motivational Mars is travelling

through sensitive Pisces in a rather emotional sector

of your chart. Soft & gentle feelings are highlighted,

your imagination and intuition are at an all time high.

TAURUS APRIL 21 - MAY 21 Venus, your ruling planet is in innovative

Aquarius & travelling through the career

sector of your chart. Restless thoughts

may fill your mind & a professional review

is now on the cards. The Aquarius new moon on the

10th

could lead to a romantic adventure, urging you

to find your strengths & weaknesses & explore them.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 21 Restless Gemini is eager to be on the go

again. Both the Sun and Venus in

Aquarius ensure that your mind is even

busier than usual. With your ruler Jupiter

now picking up the pace in your sign, it’s time for

expansion on all levels and this month is definitely

favourable for learning something new and exciting.

CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22 Your financial affairs come into the

spotlight during this month. Currently

your primary concern is improving your

income and finding innovative ways to do

so. Forceful Jupiter in Gemini brings intuitive and

insightful ideas to the forefront and you’ll discover

new ways of being resourceful.

LEO JULY 23 - AUGUST 23 The warrior planet Mars is journeying

through intuitive Pisces in the financial

sector of your chart. Pioneering ways of

increasing income are top of your list.

Use this time wisely as it’s very beneficial for inner

reflection, developing & renewing your creativity.

The new moon on the 10th increases your awareness.

VIRGO AUG. 24 - SEPT. 22 With both the Sun & Venus in individu-

alistic Aquarius & in prominent positions

in your chart, you might be rethinking

your ultimate vision and your goals.

Try not to overemphasize your problems; after the

10th

you should have more energy and confidence

to present yourself in a very positive new light.

LIBRA SEPT. 23 - OCT. 23 Both the Sun and your ruler Venus in

Aquarius are lighting the love & romance

area of your chart. February is a very

positive month on all levels; Abundant

Jupiter in Gemini offers new opportunities, possibly

in far away places. Interesting creative ideas should

be coming in now, go ahead and follow them.

SCORPIO OCT. 24 - NOV. 22 Your home and family are in the

spotlight during February. Planetary

energy puts the emphasis on spending

time and attention on your personal

relationships. Your ruler, transformational Pluto,

assists in communication and helps you to be even

more determined to work hard for what you desire.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

With your ruler, abundant Jupiter,

moving into Gemini, your confidence is

soaring and is bound to earn you the

respect of your colleagues and friends.

Innovative new ways of getting your message

across is the theme for this month. The new moon

on the 10th

can bring positive advancement.

CAPRICORN DEC. 22 - JAN. 20 Transformational Pluto in your sign

assists you to plan your year ahead and

make some sweeping changes. With the

Sun & Venus in your financial sector, a

review is certainly part of this new direction. You

might re-evaluate the meaning of your possessions;

clarity comes after the new moon on the 10th.
