I’ve just met Darth<br />

Vader’s corrupt<br />

brother, Taxi.<br />

I was arguing with my<br />

wife about which is<br />

the best vowel.<br />

I won.<br />

Tomorrow is Jamaican<br />

hairstyle day. I’m<br />

dreading it.<br />

My wife said she was<br />

leaving me because of<br />

my obsession with<br />

The Monkees. I didn’t<br />

believe her at first,<br />

but then I saw her<br />

face…<br />

I opened my electric<br />

and water bills at the<br />

same time. Needless<br />

to say, I was shocked!<br />

29<br />

<strong>Northampton</strong> child has his wish<br />

for a new bedroom granted<br />

Cohen, 11 is a remarkable young boy who faces daily<br />

challenges living with HAAS type syndrome and Spina Bifida.<br />

His wish was to have a new room, which was not only<br />

beautifully designed but functional. Make A Wish granted the<br />

very deserving Cohen his wish and teamed up with Talya from<br />

Kinderoo Children’s Interiors to help create his dream room.<br />

Cohen’s wish was to have a place where he could relax with<br />

his friends, a designated area that he could do his homework<br />

and ideally wanted to sleep on a top bunk, but his mobility<br />

made this difficult with a standard bunk bed.<br />

Talya from Kinderoo Children’s Interiors together with Cohen<br />

and his mum set out to create a fun modern space. One of<br />

the main features of his room was a bunk bed with<br />

customized storage stairs to allow easy access to the top<br />

bunk, and there was no doubt which bed Cohen was going to<br />

claim as his. His room had gorgeous high ceilings; so Talya<br />

decided to take a bold approach and give the room a loft feel<br />

with brick effect wallpaper and rich royal blue walls. These<br />

bold colours were offset with bold patterns and the union jack<br />

making an appearance in the accessories and bedding.<br />

‘These children go through so much on a day to day basis, that<br />

to see their reactions when they see their dream room come<br />

to life is one of the greatest experiences one could ever<br />

witness. I count myself very lucky to work with Make A Wish<br />

who truly make the impossible possible.’ Talya, Kinderoo<br />

Children’s Interiors.<br />

If you would like to help make more bedroom makeover<br />

wishes come true you can make a donation to<br />

Make A Wish www.make-a-wish.org.uk or for more information<br />

on this room contact Talya, www.kinderoo.co.uk<br />

Breakfast Cayenne Crumble<br />

31<br />

You will need:<br />

3 apricots 4 medium sized apples<br />

1 tsp cinnamon 2 cups of granola<br />

½ tsp all spice ½ tsp cayenne pepper<br />

2 tbsp honey<br />

Recipes donated by Lyndsey Garrett<br />

Prep - 5 mins Cook Time - 20 mins Serves 8<br />

I don't know about you but breakfasts I<br />

get bored of very quickly, so I’m always<br />

trying to create something new,<br />

something quick and always something<br />

delicious and nutritious. This breakfast<br />

Cayenne Crumble can be served straight<br />

from the oven, cold the next day or reheated<br />

and what’s great about the recipe<br />

that I’m about to share with you, is that<br />

it can also be served as humble homey<br />

comforting pudding.<br />

Don't be scared by adding the cayenne<br />

pepper, this gives a lovely warming<br />

sensation and many health benefits which<br />

is perfect on a cool morning.<br />

How to:<br />

‣ Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees<br />

‣ Core the apples and slice. Split the<br />

apricots, remove stone and slice. Put<br />

sliced apples into a bag (I used a<br />

zip lock sandwich bag) and sprinkle in<br />

the cinnamon, all spice, cayenne pepper<br />

and shake. Lay sliced apples in a<br />

shallow oven proof dish<br />

‣ Pour 1 tbsp of honey over the apples<br />

and layer the apricots on top<br />

‣ Top with the granola and drizzle with the<br />

second tbsp of honey<br />

‣ Bake in the oven for 20 mins - or until<br />

golden and crisp<br />

‣ Eat and I enjoy! I served mine with<br />

some Greek yogurt and a tiny drizzle of<br />

extra honey.<br />

The Advanced Driver Course<br />

Most people with a driving license, on our roads today,<br />

have never had driver training after passing the driving<br />

test. The advanced driver course is designed to provide<br />

this to members of the public. It increases driving skills<br />

and knowledge. There is a one off payment (£149)<br />

which covers all aspects of the course including the test<br />

fee. This payment covers a year’s membership of IAM<br />

Roadsmart as well as the local voluntary group,<br />

<strong>Northampton</strong> Advanced Motorists, which provides the<br />

driver training. Sessions are done in your car with one<br />

of our observers. There is no limit on the number of<br />

sessions; it depends on progress to advanced standard.<br />

Before committing to the course we can provide a driving<br />

assessment to show you what the course is all about.<br />

Most that do this training are surprised by the difference<br />

it makes to their driving.<br />

Cupcakes, Campaigns and Carnivals<br />

Helen Crawford, Alzheimer’s Society Services Manager<br />

for <strong>Northampton</strong>shire<br />

It’s been a busy few months at Alzheimer’s Society. In May we held perhaps our most<br />

successful ever Dementia Awareness Week with our new campaign to encourage people<br />

to be United Against Dementia. We brought together unusual pairings of celebrities to<br />

highlight the fact that we need to be ‘united’ if we are going to defeat dementia which<br />

affects 850,000 people in the UK, including 8000 people in <strong>Northampton</strong>shire.<br />

<strong>Local</strong>ly, we got the United Against Dementia message out at <strong>Northampton</strong> Carnival and<br />

at the Voluntary Impact <strong>Northampton</strong>shire Concert, both of which were fantastic events.<br />

We also worked with <strong>Northampton</strong>shire Police, who kindly helped us hold an information<br />

stand at their headquarters. Around the same time, the General Election was called and<br />

we found the Dementia Tax becoming one of the key issues being debated. We have<br />

long argued that people with dementia are unfairly treated compared to other<br />

conditions when it comes to funding the care they need. If you want to find out more<br />

about what the term means, or to join our campaign to ‘Fix Dementia Care’ then you can<br />

visit alzheimers.org.uk/dementiatax<br />

Tens of thousands have already signed our petition<br />

which will ensure the voice of people with dementia is<br />

heard by policy makers. In mid-June we held our second<br />

National Cupcake Day, which encouraged people to<br />

bake, buy and eat to turn up the heat on dementia. In<br />

the East Midlands we had an amazing 1876 people sign<br />

up to take part. I’d like to the opportunity to thank<br />

anyone in <strong>Northampton</strong> who rose to the challenge!<br />

Coming up next we have Memory Walk, which is our<br />

biggest fundraising event of the year. We are holding<br />

34 large walks across the country involving thousands of<br />

people walking for a future without dementia. The<br />

nearest to <strong>Northampton</strong> is in Bedford but if you can't<br />

make the journey keep an eye out for smaller walks<br />

organised by local supporters. You can sign up at<br />

memorywalk.org.uk<br />

If you’d like to find out how we can support you in <strong>Northampton</strong>shire or if you’d<br />

like to volunteer for Alzheimer’s Society, give us a call on 01832 736670<br />

POEM CORNER<br />

A Rewarding Day<br />

Poem donated by David Garrett<br />

41<br />

A day spent by a rippling stream<br />

is not one to forget,<br />

an autumn day, leaves trickling down<br />

plenty more to follow yet.<br />

Blue tits among bare branches chase<br />

while a robin sits close by<br />

a moorhen scuttles from the reeds<br />

with a high-pitched cackling cry<br />

Grey squirrels in a spreading oak tree<br />

branch to branch they leap<br />

hiding food in many places<br />

that their memory fails to keep<br />

The ducks come by, that in the spring<br />

were just fluffy balls of down<br />

now grown up adult birds they are<br />

dressed in natures feathered gown<br />

A flash of blue, a special treat<br />

a kingfisher zooms by<br />

to perch above the babbling stream<br />

a dinner there to spy<br />

A rabbit hops, ears pricked up straight<br />

looking for a bite to eat<br />

always ready to run off<br />

if enemies he should meet<br />

No sound disturbs this peaceful day<br />

only the country residents<br />

who have shared with me this autumn day<br />

and the tranquillity that to me it lent<br />

The damp grey dawn draws to a close<br />

and though fishless I have been<br />

I would not have missed it for the world,<br />

all the wondrous sights I’ve seen.<br />

World renowned dulcimer player & composer<br />

Over three decades Dan has built a niche career as a world-class exponent on<br />

the mountain dulcimer. In concert he presents a repertoire of traditional folk<br />

songs and airs from the British Isles, imaginative and atmospheric original<br />

compositions and the odd classic song to round a set off nicely. All are<br />

arranged in Dan's unique, thoughtful style and presented with considerable<br />

classical skill and a spoonful of English humour. With five CD albums released<br />

to critical international acclaim and sixteen international tours to date, Dan has<br />

won the hearts of audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.<br />

Rebecca Hallworth & Andy Crowdy<br />

Dan will be joined by talented actor and vocalist<br />

Rebecca Hallworth. Rebecca's sublime vocals compliment<br />

Dan's playing superbly. International jazzman Andy<br />

Crowdy will accompany Dan on bass and guitar. Andy is<br />

a hugely versatile and accomplished musician who has<br />

toured the world with many leading virtuosos in the jazz<br />

world. Dan and Andy have worked together on several<br />

albums over many years.<br />

'It's all incredibly pure and all incredibly beautiful.'<br />

SPOTLIGHT<br />

In this edition the spotlight falls on Ben Pearson<br />

Managing Director of Pro Peak Performance<br />

How would you summarise what you do?<br />

At Pro Peak performance we recognise people’s love for<br />

sport. We meet people daily who were heavily involved<br />

in sports in their youth but have lost their confidence to<br />

play as they got older. Many of these people regret no<br />

longer playing the sport they love but don’t know how<br />

to return. We aim to bridge the gap between couch and<br />

club, offering specific training 1-1 or in a group setting.<br />

We offer detailed, tailor made packages specifically for<br />

people’s needs. Ranging from nutrition, exercise and<br />

lifestyle advise. Bespoke packages available including<br />

transport and daily meals. We also run a boot camp style<br />

training called Fit in the Firs (Harlestone Firs) and newly<br />

launched Country Circuits (Upton Country Park) for<br />

people just looking to get/keep in shape.<br />

What first got you interested?<br />

I have been playing sport since I was a child, one of my<br />

biggest regrets was stopping between the ages of 16-30.<br />

I did go to the gym in this time period and I felt I wanted<br />

to learn more about the body, how it works, exercise<br />

and how they link. So I enrolled in an online personal<br />

training qualification and studied at home around work<br />

and family life.<br />

How do your family / friends feel about what you do?<br />

My family, especially my Wife and Brother are hugely<br />

supportive and encouraging. When my friends found out<br />

what I planned to do they said “of course that is what<br />

you should do, it makes so much sense.” Pretty much all<br />

of them had this reaction.<br />

What do you enjoy most about what you do?<br />

What I enjoy most is seeing and hearing about the<br />

results and enjoyment my clients are having.<br />

What ambitions do you have for the future?<br />

I would like to help as many people as possible<br />

return to sport and keep healthy. I hope to expand,<br />

train and employ staff to enable us to have a further<br />

reach across the country.<br />

What’s your background?<br />

My passion throughout my teenage years was<br />

cooking. I went into the hospitality and catering<br />

industry after qualifying at college. Since starting a<br />

family I moved into the Leisure industry (10 years<br />

ago now). My sporting background is Rugby,<br />

although I have had my hand in many sports over<br />

the years. For the last 7 years I have studied Gung Fu<br />

in <strong>Northampton</strong> which is a big part of my life.<br />

Who inspires you and why?<br />

I could list celebrities such as Donnie Yen, Bruce Lee,<br />

Dwayne Johnson, Sir Alex Ferguson, Bear Grylls,<br />

Ryan Giggs who have all inspired me in their chosen<br />

field for their mentality of doing whatever it takes.<br />

But my true inspiration is my younger brother Dan,<br />

who is all of the above and more with his strong<br />

work ethic, he has achieved greatness within the<br />

Rugby world and is simply a decent human being.<br />
