OPENING EVENT 16th JUNE 2012Come and see our fabulous collection!

Cold juice & biscuits available

Welcome to the June edition of Around Lutterworth Magazine By the time you read this, June will have begun and Bank Holidays will be upon us again. This month we are celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, the journey of the Olympic flame across our nation, the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, Father’s Day and the longest day of the year. With all that’s going on in June, I hope you have time to flick through this month’s copy!

Everyone seems so busy - our team have been working away like beavers over the last couple of months on a number of projects that we hope will make your ‘Around’ experience more valuable and enjoyable. We take this opportunity to thank our readers and advertisers for bearing with us while we try to optimise our ‘behind the scenes’ structure. Once this scaffolding is in place, we can build greater things.

Our new website is up and running. It has a refreshing, bright home page and gives all the information readers and advertisers will need. Our latest magazines can also be viewed here. While talking about our strides forward I should mention that, this month we say goodbye and wish the best of luck to our graphic designer, Caroline, who is moving on to new challenges. More news on our new team next month!

As I mentioned in the last edition, Roy and I are investigating the best ways of helping local charitable organisations. Along this theme I, and five other ladies of varying ages, have

signed up for Rugby’s Race for Life and look forward to completing the 5km event on July 15th. We have called ourselves The Press Gang and we can be found through the Race for Life and JustGiving websites. Please visit the Race for Life/Cancer Research website if you have access, it’s full of information and inspirational articles.

Finally, I’d like to say a big thank you to Cllr Tony Hirons, Mayor of Lutterworth for contacting me recently. He very kindly gave me some information on Lutterworth’s Jubilee celebrations and offered to forward future details about ‘What’s On’ in Lutterworth for us to include in your magazine. We look forward to including an editorial and some photographs from the Jubilee celebrations in next month’s issue.

Remember - If you, your business or anyone you know has anything exciting going on or wants to share any community news with our advertisers and readers please let us know and we will include it.

he strives to leave something for his boys so that they at least, can live out the American Dream.

Allie FoxThe Mosquito CoastPaul TherouxThe young Charlie Fox documents the time spent in the Honduras jungles after his father Allie uproots the family and turns his back on American capitalism and consumerism. The book charts the unravelling of Allie as he strives to find a better life for his ‘tribe’. There’s no doubt that Allie’s behaviour is erratic and maniacal but his

sense of adventure and inventiveness means you can’t write him off as a bad father.

DanteBoys Don’t CryMalorie BlackmanWhat happens when fatherhood is thrust upon you? Dante’s

waiting for his A-level results but instead, finds his baby daughter on the doorstep. Her mother can’t cope and Dante’s forced to face up to his responsibilities. Battling with social preconceptions and the realisation that his plans have to change, this is a rare book that tells the story of teenage pregnancy from the father’s point of view.

Atticus Finch To Kill a MockingbirdHarper LeeScout and Jem Finch have been raised by their lawyer

father Atticus in the southern town of Maycomb during the Great Depression. Atticus has the respect of both his children and the local community until he decides to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accused of

raping a white woman. Incensed by injustice and racial inequality, Atticus takes on the whole town’s prejudices and finally wins a place in everyone’s hearts.

Willy LomanDeath of a SalesmanArthur MillerArthur Miller’s ultimate tragic hero Willy Loman is a salesman at the end of his career. Miller wanted to capture the struggles of the ‘everyman’ by creating this ‘low-man’. It raises questions as to what makes a man great. Willy is a truly flawed character, constantly dispensing terrible advice to his two sons, Biff and Happy. He fails to see the love his family feels for him and this is the real tragedy. To the last,

Harry SilverMan and BoyTony ParsonsHarry Silver’s life is turned upside down when the boy in him has a one night stand. Suddenly his marriage is over, he’s lost his job and he’s bringing up his son on his own. Mirroring Parson’s own life, this is the story of a 30 year old TV executive who’s forced to grow-up. This hilarious comic novel is wonderfully written and portrays the highs and lows of the touching and often tender relationship between a father and son. Will Harry ever reach maturity? Only time will tell.

King Lear William ShakespeareTalk about the original ‘daddy’s girls’. King Lear decides to divide his estate between his three daughters based on how they flatter him, this apparently proving who loves him best. It’s a bit of a recipe for disaster, and Lear quickly descends into madness. Cordelia is the only daughter not to play along and is promptly disinherited. It’s a tragic story of misplaced fatherly love. Our advice to dads: read the cards from your children carefully!

Mother’s Day is always a doddle to sort out: flowers, some chocs and smother her with cuddles. With June comes Father’s Day and suddenly we’re all stumped. We’ve put together a selection of books where fathers figure. Some will make you laugh, whilst others will have you crying with pity or frustration. Why not pop one in the post and start up a conversation with the old man?

Seasonal Recipe

Pan-fried Mackerel Fillet with Lemon Spring Vegetables

Heat the butter in a sauté pan or deep frying pan. Gently cook the shallot for about 5 minutes until it starts to soften and becomes translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another couple of minutes.

Add the vegetable mix, cutting anything large like carrots, to match the size of the other vegetables. Stir for a minute or so, pour in the stock and lemon juice and add the zest. Season, then cover and cook for 5 minutes.

Spoon in the creme fraiche and dill and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Heat another frying pan with the olive oil. Slice the mackerel fillet in half lengthways, taking out any bones you may find. Season the fish then pan-fry for 2 minutes on each side.

Serve the mackerel on a bed of the vegetables with plenty of lemon wedges and some new potatoes.
