Dear Residents

During the months of September and January many

people return from holiday after lazing in the

summer sun or lazing on the sofa during the

Christmas break when they’ve had time; time to think, time to make

plans and make decisions. They might decide to look for a new job,

decorate, take up a hobby or get fit. With me, I can’t help mentally

re-organising the furniture in my house usually resulting in a trip

to Ikea!

However, if one of those decisions was to lose

weight then this is a great time of year to join

a gym, running club (see p5), or not go on a

diet, but change your diet. I’ve tried many diets

over the years but got fed up counting calories,

weighing food or following that diet sheet

stuck to the fridge door. At last, after watching

my best friend and co-publisher of Discover lose 2 stone,

I’ve changed what I eat, too. The core rule is avoiding high carbohydrate

foods such as bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and also - surprisingly - grapes,

bananas, pulses and skimmed milk. I eat at much as I want and I’ve

lost about 10lbs so far but also the heavy feeling I get after eating

bread and I feel more energetic. If you are interested in trying it, Tania

has written an article about it on page 7.

Best wishes,

Melanie

DISCOvER SHORT STORy


Like so many people – women particularly – i’ve always been veryconscious of controlling my weight. Despite this, every year i’ve gained anextra pound or two and no amount of exercise or cutting down ever seemedto make a difference. Following a routine health check, i was classified asoverweight and the obese grading was alarmingly close. Obviously, if icarried on as i was (ie dieting plus, i admit, a weakness for sweet food) i’djust continue to grow. i’m a methodical person in nature and loveresearching the internet so i set out to understand why so many in theWest have a weight and appetite control problem. What i discovered haschanged my eating pattern/relationship with food.

I began to eat more food, more frequently than I ever did, and week by week the weight just disappeared.This didn’t feel like a diet, it just felt good to eat healthy food, rarely feel hungry, and to be free of thinkingabout food all the time – it was so liberating. In 3 months, I’ve dropped two dress sizes and I’mconfident I’ll never be overweight again – a year ago I’d never had believed I couldever say that.

Of course everyone wants to know ‘what is it then?’ It’s best to understand why itworks but if I could sum it up in a couple of lines I’d say:

• Stop eating grains – rice, bread, pasta, leave out the potatoes, don’t eat sugar• Start eating more real unprocessed food, increase the fat in your diet

Make this your way of eating, not a diet to be given up as soon as possible.

As I was asked by so many friends and family for information on what I discovered I set up a websiteand blog. Want to know more? Go to www.discoveryourtoes.co.uk.

January always seems a bit of an anticlimax after December: theweather’s just as filthy and the days are just as glum, but the supply ofparties seems unaccountably to have dried up.

But if you feel starved of excuses to celebrate, don’t worry. You need onlywait until January 25th, when the same inventive Scots who gave you

Hogmanay and the first hangover of the year proudly present Burns Night.

Rabbie Burns (1759-96), pictured, came from a family of small-to-middlingAyrshire farmers who, although far from wealthy, made sure he got a good

education. Don’t let the vernacular folksiness of his poetry fool you: Burns was aproficient linguist and classical scholar with a sophisticated and well-stocked mind.

As a young man he seemed to be a solid citizen, working on the farm and joining theFreemasons. But already he was showing signs of what was to become his greatweakness: the lassies. In his mid-teens he was writing love songs – his earliest survivingwork, O Once I Loved a Bonnie Lass, dates from 1774 when he was 15.

After his father died in 1784 he went off the rails. In 1785 he made his mother’s maidpregnant; and in March 1786 an old flame, Jean Armour, gave birth to his twins. In Aprilhe claimed to have married her by folk custom; but in May he married Mary Campbell,again in a traditional ceremony of exchanging Bibles. In June he repudiated them both;and in October Mary, who was carrying his child, died of typhus. By then Rabbie hadalready set his cap at a married woman, Nancy MacLehose. They conducted a steamyaffair, but only by letter; so Rabbie consoled himself with her maid, who bore him a sonthe following year. By that time, though, he was back with Jean: they married inFebruary 1788 and Rabbie’s wild days were over.

While this was going on, his first book was published and was an instant hit. He wasbroke at the time, as well as romantically overentangled, and had secured a job inJamaica: indeed the book was meant to pay for his passage. But its success changedhis mind and after marrying he settled down as a customs official in Dumfries,continuing to turn out poetry and collections of folk songs. Alas, his health was poor,and on 21st July 1796, just as things seemed to be going right, he died.

His fame continued to spread posthumously, and his friends started holdingcommemorative dinners on the anniversary of his death. In 1801 the first Burns Clubwas founded and switched the date to his birthday. Actually they got the date wrong,so the first Burns Night was held on January 29th 1802. The date was subsequentlychanged to the correct one; but the format of a proper Burns Supper has remainedpretty much the same.

Here’s how you do it.

First you have whisky as an aperitif. Then you sit down and say the Selkirk Grace (Googleit!) before tucking into a traditional Scottish soup – cock-a-leekie or Scotch broth –accompanied by whisky. Then the piper pipes in the haggis which, after reciting theappropriate poem (again, Google it!), you toast with whisky. The haggis is eatenaccompanied by mashed potatoes, mashed parsnips, and whisky. Dessert should besomething like cranachan, a mixture of oatmeal, raspberries (optional), and creambeaten with whisky. Then you toast the Queen, the poet, the host and the lassies, inwhisky. Finally you each read out a Burns poem, fortified before hand with whisky.

You’re getting the idea, aren’t you? There’s an awful lot of whisky involved – morewhisky, in fact, than Burns himself probably saw in his lifetime. The spirit was onlylegalised in 1784 and remained a Highland speciality for many years after; as aLowlander, Burns would have seen far more brandy than whisky.

Anyway, if it’s all too much whisky for you, you could always substitute Irn Bru

iF you suffer from myopia – shortsightedness – you will almost certainlyhave tried contact lenses at some point.They really are a revolution for so manypeople, giving you normal sight, withbetter peripheral vision than glassesoffer and none of the problems such assteaming up or dirt. Certainly if you do any sort of sport, you probably couldn’t imagine life withoutthem. But you are putting something directly in your eye, so the fit and care of your lenses is a reallyimportant part of using them.

Roy Hampson, acknowledged as one of the globally acclaimed group of British contact lens pioneers,began fitting contact lenses in Southampton when he opened the first Optique practice in Bedford Placeearly in 1985. Other practices in Bitterne and Totton soon followed and by the time he sold the businessin 2010, Optique had grown to six practices all in the Southampton area. Roy had fitted contact lenses toan incredible 15,000+ Southampton people.

The really good news is that Roy and his wife Lynne have set up an entirely new practice in ChandlersFord. Hampson Opticians Ltd is where he continues to fit contact lenses, welcoming new and existingwearers to his skillful care. Hampson Opticians also conducts full eye examinations and has a vibrantrange of superb glasses frames all at very low prices.

Roy actively supports the competitive supply of contact lenses especially over the internet. Consequentlyhe is very shortly going to be launching his website to enable you to do that. In the meantime, pleasecall or pop in and you’ll find you’ll be able to buy now at the prices he will be offering online (prescriptiondetails required).

Did you know about

the Model Boating

Lake at Southampton

Common. This

unassuming concrete

lined lake is actually

the reason

Southampton Common is a SSSI - due to a

population of Great-crested Newts. It is drained

every winter to kill off any fish such as

Sticklebacks that may have made it in to the

pond that may prey on the newts. This also

makes it good for dragonflies and damselflies

as their larvae are also eaten by small fish.




rOmSeyhas a new arts and crafts exhibition and saleroom.The light and airy gallery at 27 Bell Street iscrammed with ceramics, jewellery, sculpture andpaintings by local artists at prices ranging fromaffordable pocket money pieces to very reasonablypriced original artwork. if you want to buy animaginative gift then rum’s eg is the place to go –and unique wrapping paper and cards areavailable too. Of course, you could just treatyourself to something to cheer up a dull corner athome, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee in the artCafé.

The Hampshire Arts and Crafts Community InterestProject (CIC) was formed in May 2012 by DirectorsSiriol Sherlock (who is widely recognized as one ofthe world’s top contemporary botanical artists) andAnnie Jeffrey (a local sculptor whose work reflectsher interests in human, equine and botanicalshapes). As well as being a much needed permanent

showcase and sales point for Hampshire-basedartists, Rum’s Eg will run workshops for variousgroups within the community includingdisadvantaged children and adults with disabilities.Facilities will be provided for groups to learn from theskills and experience of artists and craftspeople whoare already showcasing their work in the gallery.

The opening night and first week of trading forthis brilliant venture was a roaring success and theGallery was able to extend the Christmas Exhib-ition opening into January instead of closing on22 December and reopening in February. They hadto restock with artworks! On the opening nightWaitrose donated £10,000 from their CommunityMatters Fund which will pay for the refurbishmentof the second floor of Rum's Eg to include TheLeckford Art Studio and Longstock Meeting Room.To find out more please look at the websitewww.hampshireartandcraft.org.
