Thinking of buying a laptop for christmas Christmas can be a good time to purchase a new laptop Retailers often provide great offers to tempt you into buying a shiny new laptop But as with everything price is not the same as value Buy cheap and you may find your purchase to be anything but of value to you It s important that you think carefully before making what can be a very expensive purchase In addition with the Covid 19 situation more and more people are having to work from home and having the best equipment for your requirements is becoming more important So what are the important things to consider when purchasing a new laptop 1 Memory or RAM the more memory a machine has the quicker the machine will run If you are someone who likes to have many tabs open on your browser or several programs running at the same time or work with graphic programs eg Photoshop then you will need to consider laptops with NO LESS than 8 GB of RAM If you are someone who uses their laptop to browse the net write the odd email and not much else then you could get away with a laptop with 4 GB of RAM But be aware the performance speed of this machine will never be particularly great 2 Processor the processor is like the engine of a car A bigger engine generally means a faster car and the same applies to processors There are many different types of processors and for this article I will only be mentioning the Intel type of processor The Intel family of processors of interest start with the i3 then there is the i5 i7 and the i9 processor Within these processors are generation of i3 i5 i7 i9 The later the generation the more efficient the processor is this will impact your battery the more efficient a processor the longer it will run on the battery alone Generally speaking I recommend people look at i5 processors as an entry level unless your budget is very low 3 Hard disk There are 2 types of disk that you need to consider when buying a laptop a standard hard disk or a Solid State Drive SSD Generally speaking the SSD will have less storage space than standard hard disks However the distinct advantage the SSD has over the standard hard disk is their speed Booting up with an SSD is lightening quick The costs of SSDs are coming down as more people choose this option and with this their storage capacity has improved An SSD also allows users with small budgets to purchase a laptop that can still be fairly fast Previously low budget users often had to compromise on speed Now it is possible if you don t need much storage space to have a nippy machine on a low budget Some laptops will come with 2 disks a small SSD for the operating system meaning the machine will boot up quickly and also a 1TB standard hard disk for user data The other benefit of this setup is that rebuilding the operating system Windows is much more straightforward as your data is stored on a different disk to the operating system If you would like some advice before making your purchase or you would like me to source you the best laptop for your budget please give me a call and we can have a chat and talk through your options 0785 509 2227 info jennysys co uk Remember a laptop is not just for Christmas it can be for a number of years if you make the right decision now Jenny Stewart IT Consultant JennySys Computing Services 01661 833533 Email info jennysys co uk www jennysys co uk 8

Wild Fungi If spring is about flowers summer is butterflies and insects then surely autumn is fungi Now that the damp autumn days are very much upon us so the fungi are springing up We tend to associate fungi with woodlands and decay but there is so much more to them Some of our smallest and brightest fungi are species of unimproved grasslands waxcaps can be bright red orange a pale pink or even a green colour Waxcaps are fantastic indicators of old grasslands perhaps meadows or more often now churchyards and lawns They are not found in the pristine fertilised lawns that are a wildlife desert but those lawns that are a bit rough and ready slightly unkempt but mowed low ready for the winter Our gardens can be such a haven for wildlife but only if we allow them to be so Another grassland species the shaggy ink cap or lawyers wig is a little less fussy thriving on verges even well manicured grass It is however true to say that many fungi thrive in our woodlands more so in our native and ancient woodland but conifer plantations can also become speckled with the reds and oranges of fungi at this time of year From the classic fly agaric with its red cap speckled in white scales to the bright purple amethyst deceiver to the tiny antler shaped candle snuff fungus all and many more can be lurking amongst the trees If you know what you are doing some can be extremely tasty however it s worth remembering that others can be deadly Many fungi are the classic toadstool shape with a stalk and a cap often domed Under the cap are the gills where the spores are released just as in a cooking mushroom you might buy from a greengrocer or supermarket In some species the gills are replaced by a sponge like structure with tiny holes where the spores are released Most of these fungi with spongey undersides are part of the boletus family and many are perfectly good to eat The large cep or penny bun is perhaps the most sought after for food partly because you get a lot of mushroom for each one but there are many more such as the birch bolete and slimy capped slippery Jack There are other forms of fungi too some grow from the sides of trees forming shelf like structures or platforms above an old tree stump Others can form finger like shapes or look a little like shrivelled pieces of orange peel Some are hard and dry others more jelly like Some form ball shapes with the spores puffing out of a small hole that appears at the very tip These puffballs and earthballs come in all sizes up to the football sized giant puffball So far everything I ve described are the obvious visible part of the fungus that is fruiting a structure of some sort that is there to help release spores to spread and grow new fungi This is but a tiny part of the fungus as a whole Beneath the surface is a set of root like threads that can spread far and wide from the point at which the mushroom can be seen This is the fungus itself the mushroom just a temporary growth Now the thing about fungi is that they are not plants and nor are they animals They form their own unique group of species in the tree of life Many are as we tend to think associated with decay They help with the process of rotting wood or the creation of soils but many fungi are also vital for plants to survive Most plants and trees have associated fungi some are parasites which ultimately result in the death of the plant but others live harmoniously helping the plant to take up chemicals and nutrients vital to their survival Without fungi we d have an awful lot of dead wood in our woodlands but actually we may not have any plants in the first place They are a largely unseen but a vital part of the natural world Duncan Hutt Head of Living Landscapes and Conservation Northumberland Wildlife Trust 16

The Holy Ghost This story begins at twilight on the cobbled streets of Hexham Christmas Eve 2018 A crescent moon hung above the Abbey which was draped in silver fairy lights as I along with the last of the Christmas shoppers made my way amongst the low hum of anticipation Everything was perfect Well at least I thought it was I had forgotten a Christmas card for my partner Luckily Gaia was still open and I was able to choose one with a white stag framed between two tree branches inside I scribbled a poem about connecting to that which is sacred and signed it with love That evening as we swapped gifts he presented me with a gold plated pen made of holly wood I think there is something important you need to write with that he smiled The pain that you ve been feeling can t compare to the joy that s coming Romans 8 18 I ve always admired the way in life how something so small and seemingly insignificant can in time become oh so big Only six weeks later whilst out walking in the woods a synchronous sequence of events began to unfold that would change my entire life A white stag stood before us luminous and brazen Not only had the card come to life but we even photographed his image framed in exactly the same way between two tree branches He was straight out of Disney We likened it to seeing a ghost as he had the uncanny knack of being able to disappear amongst the silver birch with the swiftest of movements He was quite the extroverted and playful little fella It s like the wildlife equivalent of watching Freddie Mercury at Live Aid in 1985 I proclaimed filling up with tears The time spent with him on those cold wintery days was life affirming and also deeply healing After seeking advice we identified him as a roebuck and with only six white wild roebucks sighted in the British Isles since the end of the 1940s had a deep reverence for his appearance in our lives He felt like the culmination of all my prayers a miracle made manifest to wipe the slates clean We knew it was a great privilege to not only glimpse such a rare and elusive creature but to gain his trust and capture his essence on film People have since asked us often upon seeing his image if he was an albino Ghost has leucism a very rare genetic mutation which results in the loss of pigmentation in an animal I find his very existence in the wild to be quite symbolic and especially poignant at this point in our worlds natural history nature can and will survive even if seems against all odds Then I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True and in righteousness he judges and makes war Revelations 19 11 Due to their rare and elusive nature white stags are steeped in myth and legend Their appearance often foretells of a great spiritual change To the Celts the white stag was an otherworldly creature who could transition between realms in Arthurian legend its mystical power was often a sign to Arthur and his knights to embark upon a quest To early Christians it was interchangeable with the unicorn and Christ I figured due its significant nature I best seek the wise counsel of my two godchildren both of whom are under the age of 5 We MUST tell Santa they exclaimed and so began the creation of Ghost the Christmas Stag The story arrived fully formed as if it was sent straight from heaven All I had to do was pick the pen gifted to me on Christmas Eve and let it out Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God Mathew 5 8 Art moves through us all and we are but vessels for its articulation Luckily art also moves through Instagram and I was lucky enough to have befriended a very talented one through a chance meeting earlier that year On the same day we found Ghost Kathryn Holeman posted a Harry Potter themed illustration featuring the white hart Patronus Another wonderful synchronicity She became a natural choice to illuminate the story and I have no doubt the reason I have found publication Ghost the Christmas Stag begins with a magic many understand but quickly reaches into the power of nature and our duty to protect the wildlife that share this beautiful earth with us The story is told in rhythm and rhyme through the eyes of a young boy Hector the Forest Protector and serves as a reminder for children and adults alike to honour and protect that which is sacred in all beings and creatures In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths Proverbs 3 6 Ghost the Christmas Stag will be available to buy early in December A portion of the proceeds will be donated towards the ReWilding of areas in the North of England Scottish Highlands Sarah Fae 24

And breathe Take a deep breath How many times have you heard that phrase When we face stressful or difficult situations those four words are very likely to be used We are living in increasingly stressful times The coronavirus pandemic is likely to see this increase sadly as people face job losses increasing uncertainty and other seismic events I am sure you have experienced stressful occasions such as bereavement where you feel your intake of breath increasing Studies have shown that such acute stress can even trigger asthma attacks Rapid breaths brought on by stress can bring on panic attacks for those prone to them So knowing how to breathe correctly can be of massive benefit especially for reducing levels of stress But you do not need to experience a life changing event to benefit from breathing techniques The medical department at the University of Michigan has studied the positive effects of breathing and actively encourages breathing exercises for stress management They are not the first to do so breathing techniques are fast gaining recognition and respect across medical fields as an effective way to support physical emotional and mental health Some benefits of improving your breathing Feel energised Strengthens the Lymphatic system Cardiovascular and Digestive system Let go of old emotions and gain a sense of freedom Release anxiety and alleviate stress and depression Move beyond your limiting beliefs that are holding you back in life Become aware of emotions halting your personal growth Experience deeply calming and relaxing Improves mental clarity creativity and ignites passion Why you need to control stress Firstly it is important to recognize that our stress response our Fight Flight Faint or Freeze response is an important part of our survival instinct It is activated when we perceive danger and should not last longer than just a few moments Sadly our modern day life has caused us to be in a constant state of overdrive and has left this response on a switched on mode This has a negative effect on our 1 Physical health you may notice a variety of changes in the body varying from palpitations changes in breathings ached and pains and even nausea and indigestion 2 Emotional health emotions may fluctuate become erratic or become increasing difficult to navigate Some may experience anger frustration and fear 3 Mental health you may notice feelings of long lasting sadness or irritability excessive fear worry or anxiety social withdrawal and dramatic changes in eating or sleeping habits stressful situation you may resort to this type of breathing As a result you may experience the tightening of the shoulder and neck muscles that often ends with headaches The second type of breathing which comes from the diaphragm and sometimes known as abdominal is more efficient and effective Being able to use this can help lead to feelings of relaxation It is easy to understand which type of breathing you are doing by putting one hand on your upper abdomen and the other in the middle of your chest As you breathe notice which hand rises the most If you breathe properly your abdomen should expand and contract with each breath During times of anxiety you are more likely to breathe from your chest this is due to the tightening of the diaphragm in response to the activation of stress response Simple breathing exercises We cover a lot of practical steps during my De stress Class but if you are facing a stressful situation now try this well documented diaphragmatic breathing technique Lie on your back with your knees bent and head supported Use a pillow under your knees to support your legs Place one hand on your upper chest and the other just below your rib cage This allows you to feel your diaphragm move as you breathe Breathe in slowly through your nose so that your stomach moves out against your hand The hand on your chest should remain as still as possible Tighten your stomach muscles letting them fall inward as you exhale through lips as if you would be blowing out a candle The hand on your upper chest must remain as still as possible As you gain more practice you can try the diaphragmatic breathing technique while sitting in a chair Although there are other ways of de stressing such as yoga meditation and holistic therapies controlling your breathing is one of the most natural techniques As Donna Farhi says in her book The Breathing Book Good Health and Vitality Through Essential Breath Work Breathing is one of the simplest things in the world We breathe in we breathe out When we breathe with real freedom we neither grasp for nor hold on to the breath I wish you this same easy and flow as you move through this journey called life Using applied techniques helps you reduce and switch off the stress response which in turn activates a pause the rest response that allows you to feel calm peaceful and relaxed Types of breathing During my classes I help you understand more about breathing If you are aware of your body s response you can take control of your stress There are two types of breathing chest and abdominal or diaphragmatic Chest breathing uses secondary muscles in your upper chest and is designed for moments of exertion such as when you sprint If you face a 32 Nicky Robertson Holistic Wellbeing N D Somatology BFRP MAS Creating healthier and happier

Wild Drinks for Christmas One of the larger expenses on your shopping list for Christmas may well be the fizzy white and the rich red to go with the Christmas feast and the extra special spirit to sip warmly by the yule log later You can get all of these from the hedgerow and with a little bit of forward planning they will all be ready for the big day Elderflower Champagne Your preparations start in late May early June with the flowering of the best hedgerow drinks tree bar none the elder Elderflower champagne if you get it right is a perfect replacement for that fizzy white stuff that costs a lot The elderflower champagne recipe I use is 10 to 20 elderflower heads with the stalks removed I like a strong elderflower flavour 20 heads gives a strong flavour The bouquet seems to be stronger if you pick them early in the morning before the sun and the insects have got to work Don t wash them just shake out any beasties 800gms sugar Juice from two lemons I gallon of water Sparkling wine yeast ideally The one I used on this year s brew is Gervin GV10 but you ll get away with any wine yeast really Pour boiling water over the florets and the sugar in a fermenting bin and dissolve sugar Top up to 1 gallon with cold water Add the lemon juice and yeast when the water is lukewarm Cover and leave to ferment Leave till the specific gravity is down to 1010 strain and bottle into plastic fizzy drink bottles eg Irn Bru coke etc Don t use other bottles as they are likely to explode If you haven t got a hydrometer then you ll just have to guess you want it to continue fermenting out some of the sugar after you bottle it but you don t want to have volcanic eruptions on opening the bottle This means bottling when the fermentation has slowed but not stopped It is likely to take about a week but possibly up to two weeks to get to the bottling stage depending on the temperature It is ready to drink after a week or two in the bottles and it can be difficult to save a bottle or two till Xmas My tip is put a couple of bottles to one side away from the others and try and forget where you ve put them You ll have a sediment in the bottom of the bottles it all adds to the flavour but you can with careful pouring get sparkling clear glassfuls I put them in the freezer to chill not freeze before opening as this reduces the strength of any volcanic eruption you may have on your hands and means the sediment doesn t rise as quickly Elderberry Wine In September the berries will be ripe on the elder and this is your second opportunity to use the hedgerow drinks tree Elderberry wine is a wonderfully deep red fruity wine You ll need 3lbs elderberries stripped off the stalks 2lbs sugar Sachet of wine yeast 1tsp citric acid 40 Put the berries into a large pan and mash them with a potato masher Add two pints of water and the sugar and bring gently to the boil and simmer for ten minutes Leave to cool and then pour into a plastic fermenting bucket Make up to a gallon and stir in the citric acid and yeast After 5 to 7 days siphon into your demijohn top up with cooled boiled water if needed and fit the airlock Leave till the fermentation has stopped and bottle into sterilized screw topped wine bottles For a good wine you ll need about a year from start to finish to mature Elderberry Cordial If you want something non alcoholic this is a great Christmas drink with the added spices You ll need a good carrier bag full of berries on stalks Remove berries from the stalks and put them in a pan just covering them with water Bring to the boil gently and then simmer for 20 minutes Strain the juice through a jam bag or similar Measure the juice back into the pan and for every pint add 1lb of sugar a cinnamon stick and 6 cloves Bring back to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes Allow to cool and then strain out the spices and put the juice into sterilized bottles Dilute to taste Delicious served hot as non alcoholic Christmas punch Cherry vodka gin In the summer we pick cherries both wild and ornamental but you can experiment with any wild berries for this we get best results with the bigger juicier ornamental cherries You can eat them as they are or do what we do with some of the year s harvest and make cherry vodka or gin It is really easy to do and unless you really like very sweet liqueurs there s no need to add sugar or anything else to this Put the cherries in a bottle we fill the bottles to the top and then top up with a cheap vodka gin and leave for six months or more The end result is fantastic both as a drink but also you get to eat all the cherries that have been soaked in the spirit too A wonderful treat for Christmas If you d like to find out more about wild food why not join the North East Wild Food Club or come along on one of my

Understanding Money Money is a subject that is on everybody s mind and the most obvious reason for that is because the great majority of people almost always do not have enough of it Today though we are going to look at what money really is and how money evolved through time and in society and the functions that money should have My hope here is not help the reader to make a fast buck or make money in the stock market or any other shady scheme but to give the reader a simple history of how money came about and how government and the bankers have hijacked money to their advantage So how did money come about or evolve For that we will do what the Austrian School of Economics calls regression analysis Don t worry it s not as complicated as it sounds it just means we will go back in time to see how money came about through the evolution of society from small tribes to the modern nation state Under a barter system people exchange value for value Let s say a fisherman caught more fish than his family needed so he had a surplus of fish so what he would do was exchange his surplus fish for the farmer s excess milk The problem with barter is that one of the parties involved might not need what the other is offering or might not need the amount offered so what might happen is that the excess fish or milk might go bad if kept for too long One thing we can note about barter though is that unless one has something of value to offer it is impossible to transact A barter system also encouraged subsistent living which means that individuals and their families and small tribes tried to produce all the necessities they needed to survive The next step in the history of exchange came about when people started to realise that some goods or commodities were more marketable than others More marketable just means that the good or commodity is desired by almost everyone At this point people started trying to save this so called most marketable commodity as they could exchange for almost anything else they needed or desired So the most marketable commodity not only facilitated indirect exchange but it also allowed people to store or save that commodity as it was usually a commodity that was not only desired by everyone but it was also durable and easy to store So that is how money started out as the most marketable commodity Going back in antiquity and through different cultures we have seen people used many different things as money Salt has been used as money hence the term salary sal which is the latin word for salt Seashells and beads have been used as money by the native American cultures and stones by some of the Micronesian people from the island of Yap Even more recently in the aftermath of their defeat in the Second World War and the collapse of the German State and their currency Germans used cigarettes as money Over the last three and a half thousand years the commodities that have been the champions or top dogs of money have been the monetary metals like gold and silver The major properties that have made these monetary metals ideal as money are the following rarity desirability intrinsic value durability and divisibility The other factors that have made gold the King of Money is that it is not consumed like let s say wheat or oil Almost all the gold that has ever been mined since the beginning of time is still around and that is what makes it a good money Silver as the old saying goes is the money of gentlemen mainly because it has been found more abundantly than gold and can also be consumed in industry so not all the silver that has been mined can still be found like gold For that reason the intrinsic value of silver has always been less than gold What that has meant through the centuries is that for one troy ounce of gold you will have been able to acquire about fifteen troy ounces of silver So silver has circulated as money and currency a lot more whereas gold because of its intrinsic value and storability has been saved and stored Have you ever wondered why the word silver has been synonymous with money in countries like France argent Spain plata and England sterling As we have seen the evolution of money came about from human action necessity and convenience Money was not invented by the chancellor 48 of the exchequer or the governor of the Bank of England but by people conducting business amongst each other The three main qualities of money are that it facilitates exchange it is a durable store of wealth and is a measure of value So how come we do not use gold and silver as money or currency anymore Why do we accept Bank of England Federal Reserve or Euro bank notes as money or currency For that we need to go back a few hundred years and look at what the goldsmiths were doing Basically very wealthy people used to store some of their money or gold coins with the goldsmiths The goldsmiths would charge their clients a storage fee The goldsmiths would write a receipt to their clients and it usually said I Mr Goldsmith from Threadneedle Street promise to pay the bearer 5 of gold on demand Those promissory notes soon started circulating as a money substitute but it wasn t really money The big Eureka moment for the goldsmiths though was when they realised that their customers would not all come at once and demand their money so they figured that they could basically lend out their customers money without their permission By doing this the goldsmith not only earned a deposit fee but also the interest on the loan This nefarious activity of lending other people s money without their permission is what also led to the goldsmith issuing promissory note that were not backed by money or gold Eventually the goldsmiths became known as bankers and in 1694 the English Crown did a deal with the bankers through a Royal Charter to create the Governor and Company of the Bank of England So for the last 326 years the bankers and the State have been tied at the hip It wasn t until the outbreak of World War One in 1914 however that the elimination of gold and silver as money and currency started taking place With the outbreak of the war the government and the bankers realised they had to stop the convertibility of the Bank of England promissory notes into gold or else they would not be able to finance the war and wars of course have always been a very profitable business for bankers So since 1914 the Bank of England note has been an empty promise and as for the sterling silver coinage by 1947 all the silver had been taken out of the coins in order to pay creditors for war debts and we got left with the copper nickel coins or tokens that we use to this day In the next article we will look at how the elimination of gold and silver as money has led to a century of inflation and inequality Mario Innecco Founder of YouTube Channel Maneco64 The home of alternative economics and contrarian views Blog maneco64 net

Adding simple exercise to your working day As much as we like to second guess the Government s next moves I think we are in a much different position now than what we were in March Adjusting to this new normal has left us taking up a different lifestyle to before Whether it be working from home for the foreseeable future or not having the same social interaction as before it can be difficult to settle into a new routine Particularly as we re now heading into the crux of winter exercise can and is a struggle for many of us Unfortunately what we don t have so much of now is each other to spur us on and make us feel accountable so that we turn up each week to the gym class or the run session I thought it might be reassuring to hear that not much willpower is needed to stay active without any added cost or time Here s a gentle reminder of how exercise can still be weaved into your day without you realising it It s sometimes a shame to see how many people struggle to find enough hours in the day to dedicate to their own health It could be much simpler and less daunting than what you may think What if we don t actually need to pay for an expensive gym membership that we didn t really want in the first place Instead we can make the most of what we do in the day to incorporate some movement that will still reap the same rewards Take the rituals of a working day The travel to work the lunch break picking the kids up from school or dropping them off at their activities perhaps All of which are pockets of time where essentially you can kill two birds with one stone Why not use the journeys you take in a day the drive to work for example to instead walk or park half way and then walk Using the stairs instead of the escalator if you use public transport Taking a 20min walk in your lunch break if you have an office or home based job Or even something as frivolous as parking at the back of the car park at the supermarket to make you walk a little further Any way which maximises the time spent on your feet Sometimes it s about being a little creative than perhaps the motivation to do it Not to sound pessimistic but unless you re a particularly self motivated person dragging yourself to the gym every week will use up precious willpower And somewhere down the line you ll skip a few sessions and then it fizzles out It makes more sense to start with small simple changes which you are able to follow through Therefore it becomes a habit Once habits are formed you can then see a difference over a period of time For me luckily it comes naturally as I enjoy sport and getting a sweat on whilst I appreciate that not everyone does I like playing squash whilst competitive matches aren t feasible at the minute under ordinary circumstances it would be my main stake activity I m sure there s restrictions on team sports too So instead I ve had to supplement this 56 for going to the gym and the occasional run if I feel up to it Although admittedly procrastination does get the better of me particularly when it comes to running which is why it could be best to make it part of your working day to lessen the guilt if you aren t able to do it on the weekend We re all aware of the physical benefits that you can gain from exercise but a couple aspects that are possibly not elaborated on too much is the emotional and affective responses we have during and after I find it can help us feel more refreshed how many times has the thought of a lazy day appealed to us when actually it can make you feel more groggy and lethargic Our mood patterns shift pre exercise and post suddenly the workload or stressful situation becomes much more manageable It can be a good way to get some alone time and clear our heads from the busyness of the day just gone An interesting take on the mental aspect is from Sandy Macaskill cofounder of Barry s Bootcamp UK who states Even more than your body your brain needs this workout right now It s the most important muscle take care of it After exercise there s a feeling of catharsis and clarity which helps bring unwanted thoughts throughout the day to rest On reflection we can all give ourselves a pat on the back for the hardships we ve put up with over the past six months the uncertainty is undeniably frightening What does bring peace of mind is controlling the controllables Sticking to a newfound routine brings comfort and reassurance It s an opportunity to build new sustainable habits that don t have to be arduous or all encompassing Taking twenty thirty minutes a day for yourself is a worthwhile investment I wouldn t call it cutting corners or trying to find a quick fix it s just a smarter way of managing your time It s worth thinking about a more efficient way in which we can use the hours within the day to prioritise ourselves Megan Evans http megannevanns wordpress com

The 23rd September 2019 started as a normal busy Monday morning at The Laundry Gallery dispatching laundry and dry cleaning orders and processing items ready for Tuesday collections Nothing prepared us for a facebook message at 6 04pm to inform us that our businesses were on fire I arrived on scene to see the two Hexham fire appliances and a third from Prudhoe preparing a team wearing breathing apparatus to enter the building Both premises appeared to be fully involved with extensive smoke billowing from their rooflines Fortunately the fire was contained solely to the Laundry unit and the primary fire brought under control quite quickly The secondary fires on the mezzanine took longer to quell with chemicals plastics roof insulation and linen stocks ablaze in the space of 2 hours both businesses had ground to a halt My family and staff were devastated the future of both businesses laid in the hands of our insurers with us all wondering if we would ever be able to restart We weren t to know our fate for a further 2 months and were duly notified at the end November of the outcome from each policy In the interim we attempted to maintain some kind of service for our commercial clients using a service provider in Newcastle until clients could locate alternative providers locally In an attempt to expedite the claim we spent the first weeks of October cataloguing customers linen dry cleaning and laundry items determining what could be salvaged and what was to be written off It quickly became apparent that most of the laundry linen wouldn t be salvageable and the majority of the Dry Cleaning had only suffered some sooting In November we were informed that the Dry Cleaning claim was progressing and we started planning to rebuild the business our site on Haugh Lane was ruined however the fire caused extensive damage to the building itself a new roof was required as well as extensive deep cleaning and improvements A contractor was assigned in the new year with building works to commence in April then Coronovirus hit and scuppered any chances of a quick repair to our original site An alternative site was required and in March we commenced works bringing a derelict garage and linked office earmarked for demolition back to full use A team of laundry installers from Halifax descended upon the site and embarked upon what turned out to be a 6 month installation due to supply delays equipment delays delayed payments from insurers and accommodation availability during lockdown On the 28th September 2020 we finally reopened A year after our catastrophic event re employing all but two staff members who had found permanent work elsewhere We have managed to rebuild our operation expand our offerings and now provide reliable high quality linen hire and are capable of supplying large linen contracts Our renowned domestic laundry and dry cleaning service has now further expanded with an additional hydrocarbon machine enabling us to clean almost any garment or home furnishing Our first four weeks of trading have been promising given the current pandemic situation we can only look forward to what the future holds We are eternally grateful to the Northumberland Fire Service without their intervention both businesses and more importantly customers cherished items would have been a total loss Were it not for the quick thinking of fellow business people Paul Robbie and Joe Budden the damage could have been far worse and most certainly would have engulfed the neighbouring units we will be forever in your debt We look forward to seeing you in our new premises Units 1 2 Burnhaugh Estate Burn Lane Hexham NE46 3HS www jamiesonsgroup co uk OUR NEW PREMISES 3 Voucher To be used with any Dry Cleaning service Valid In Store only on presentation of this voucher Only 1 voucher per person per transaction per day Expires 31 12 20 3 Voucher To be used with any Laundry service Valid In Store only on presentation of this voucher Only 1 voucher per person per transaction per day Expires 31 12 20 01434 601 004
Kidding Around Tyne Valley As Christmas is upon us again Can you believe it in this issue s column I ll be talking about the things we re doing to prepare for the season in as sustainable a way as possible in the hope it ll help some of you to get Christmas cracking as well Since having my little man I m so conscious that it s his generation and the ones after him that are going to be on the end of this very sharp stick we re all on when it comes to climate change so I try to do whatever little things I can to help give him and his future friends and loved ones a nice world to grow up in and ironically Christmas can be one of the hardest times to do this Gift Buying It s actually a few years old but I recently read an article on the BBC News website about the Wear Want Need Read approach to buying Christmas presents https www bbc co uk news uk england 37822791 which basically is a guideline for buying no more than four gifts for your family Something they want something they need something to wear and something to read The idea is that by buying fewer gifts the presents will hopefully have more meaning for both the gifter and the giftee We re going to try it this year because even though our boy was only one year old last Christmas I still found myself buying some tat just to fill up the gaps around the Christmas tree I know I can already feel the disapproval from some of my fellow Mams about just buying four presents but hopefully they ll be gifts he ll love and get plenty of use out of And of course he ll still be getting a stocking full of goodies from Father Christmas as well as pressies from his flock of admirers namely his Grandma and Nana aunties and uncles We re making a point this year of shopping as locally as possible for presents for our boy and for each other I love the range of shops in Tyne Valley and there are so many independents in need of a visit this Christmas If you ve ever seen that poster in the window of shops that says Every time you buy from us we do a happy dance it s actually true try it and see We re also trying to ensure that anything we buy has minimal negative impact to the environment people or animals e g avoiding loads of wasteful packaging trying to stick to recyclable materials Fairtrade foods animalfriendly toiletries handmade vs mass produced local rather than imported I m not suggesting for a minute that we re going to be able to adhere to this religiously just that we re thinking about it when we re considering what to buy and wear Every little helps In Hexham I ll be heading to Matthias Winter They describe themselves as an Eco Home shop but what they are really is an Aladdin s Cave of beautiful things that cause no harm to the natural world From homewares to personal care to food and sweets they ve got it all For toys my little boy enjoys a potter or should I say a grab and dash around Mr Wolf he s building quite a collection of wooden animals from there My house pretty much already resembles a Botanical Garden but I ll still be calling on Julie at Pure Plants to get a couple of gifts on a one for them one for me basis In Corbridge you can t go wrong with a visit to places like Vintage at the Tower which is a treasure trove of pre loved and hand crafted items Katie Kerr has a fantastic range of clothes and shoes stocking sustainable fashion brands like ICHI and Thought And Forum Books ditch Amazon this year and soak up the atmosphere of this gorgeous store In Prudhoe getting some gifts from Crafters Emporium and Ready Steady Knit are a really good way to support local crafters and to pick up all the materials you d need to get crafting some homemade pressies yourself I will also be hitting up the local charity shops this year They always have the best multipack Christmas cards and I always pick up lovely bits of jewellery scarves toys and books Who says everything has to be brand new at Christmas 64 Wrapping Christmas produces so much waste and packaging but so much can be reused I grew up watching Blue Peter so I always make my own gift tags out of last year s Christmas cards and I ve had the same ribbons bags and bows on the go for about 10 years to the point where when I do Secret Santa everyone knows which gift is from me as it s in the same bag as last year I ve even made my own wrapping paper some years Buy a roll of brown packing paper grab some of the kids paints make some Christmassy Wintery potato stamps and off you go Some of you might have a meltdown at this next suggestion but for a couple of years I even wrapped some gifts in newspaper and paper raffia ribbons It looked really stylish honest When the big day comes and the presents are being opened nominate someone to be on wrapping duty separate the Sellotape and keep whatever can be reused for next year or better still buy paper sticky tape and then the whole lot can be recycled Christmas Dinner My family is pescatarian for most of the year but we still like a nice roast turkey for Christmas dinner For the last few years we ve sourced a local free range turkey instead of going for the supermarket and we ve never looked back in terms of quality and taste I ve had great chats with Danny at Daniels Farm and Robin at North Accomb Farm recently about the care and attention they give to their animals all year round They pride themselves on quality and animal welfare and being a local producer which serves the community When it comes to buying my fruit and veg I always go to G F Threadgold in Prudhoe paper bags unwrapped produce and good banter too Got to love your local grocery shop I m not going to lie I love the bang of a Christmas Cracker so I ll still be buying a pack as long as we can get them without plastic stuff inside I did see a beautifully wrapped napkin on Pinterest which was made stuffed with goodies and made to look like a cracker maybe someone local will have something like that next year Kindness I m trying really hard to count my blessings this Christmas It s been a challenging year for everyone but in the grand scheme of things right now my little family is okay and I am so thankful for that However there are individuals and families who are not okay people who ve lost their jobs to the pandemic or are living with the worry that they could be left without a livelihood people whose mental health has deteriorated people who will be spending Christmas alone and struggling to make ends meet I ve already seen lots of requests for help and support on social media ranging from shoe box appeals for the homeless Christmas cards to refugees nearly new gifts for families in need and help with Christmas Day meals If you can please stick your name down to help with something and make someone smile this Christmas Our Facebook page facebook com tynevalleyexpress has a list of many worthy causes that could use your help Merry Christmas Have a good one and do what you can to make it a good one for our local businesses community and environment Lindsey Joy
