Summer<br />
Fruits Pie<br />
Introduction<br />
Make the most of summers berries with this<br />
delectable pie… perfect with a dollop of fresh<br />
cream!<br />
Ingredients<br />
(serves four)<br />
For the pastry:<br />
225g cold unsalted butter<br />
chopped into small pieces<br />
350g plain flour<br />
50g icing sugar<br />
Pinch of salt<br />
1 large egg yolk<br />
For the filling:<br />
800g of berries such as<br />
strawberries, raspberries,<br />
blackberries, cherries or<br />
blueberries<br />
100g sugar<br />
2tbsp of cornflour<br />
½ tsp cinnamon<br />
1 egg white (for glazing)<br />
1tbsp sugar (for sprinkling)<br />
Top Tips<br />
• If you’re time-starved, feel<br />
free to use pre-made shortcrust<br />
pastry which is generally<br />
as good as homemade, and<br />
certainly easier!<br />
• If you don’t have baking<br />
beans use cooking weights,<br />
dried lentils or rice.<br />
• If you don’t have access to a<br />
food processor simply rub the<br />
butter and flour together until it<br />
is the texture of breadcrumbs.<br />
Method<br />
1. Put the flour,<br />
butter, icing sugar and<br />
salt in a food processor<br />
and blitz into crumbs. Combine<br />
the yolk with 1tbsp cold water,<br />
then add to the processor and<br />
pulse until the dough comes<br />
together. Divide the dough into<br />
two, wrap in clingfilm and chill<br />
in the fridge for at least one<br />
hour or, better still, overnight.<br />
2. Heat oven to 190C/170C<br />
fan/gas mark 5. Roll out one<br />
half of the pastry, then butter<br />
an 8” pie dish and press in the<br />
pastry topped with a sheet<br />
of baking paper and baking<br />
beans. Bake blind for 30 mins.<br />
Remove the paper and beans.<br />
Mix the berries, sugar and pour<br />
Tip<br />
If using tough greens<br />
such as raw kale,<br />
massage the leaves<br />
first with olive oil to<br />
soften.<br />
the mixture into your baked pie<br />
base.<br />
3. Roll out the second batch<br />
of pastry and top the pie with<br />
it, trimming to fit, and using<br />
a fork to seal the edge. Use<br />
a sharp knife to create a few<br />
slits for steam to escape before<br />
brushing with the whisked<br />
egg white before topping with<br />
sugar. Bake for 30-35 minutes<br />
until crust is golden. Leave to<br />
cool as filling will be extremely<br />
hot!

Celebrity Feature<br />
Just Joshing?<br />
How the entertaining, uplifting, genial tone<br />
of Anthony Joshua disguises a darker force<br />
which may yet lead him to even greater<br />
riches.<br />
Anthony Joshua, the person,<br />
is charismatic, polite, funny<br />
and unquestionably intelligent.<br />
So how does such a nice guy<br />
go around making a living by<br />
punching people in the face?<br />
“As a kid I grew up wanting to<br />
be powerful and successful,”<br />
begins the WBA, IBF, WBO<br />
and IBO heavyweight boxing<br />
champ, “but I guess that could<br />
have played itself out in many<br />
different ways.<br />
“However this is where I am<br />
and this is what I do, and I<br />
wouldn’t change it for anything.<br />
I’ve got a lot left in me and I’m<br />
excited for the future - they say<br />
when your time is up it’s not<br />
necessarily the power and the<br />
physical ability that goes first,<br />
it’s your bottle.”<br />
AJ’s bottle is well and truly still<br />
intact, despite a challenging<br />
couple of years<br />
in the ring. First,<br />
in June 2019,<br />
there was his<br />
shock defeat to<br />
Andy Ruiz Jnr - the<br />
champ’s first ever<br />
professional defeat.<br />
While the Brit exacted<br />
revenge to win back his<br />
belts in a rematch six months<br />
later, events had shown up a<br />
first chink in his armoury, and<br />
one that a resurgent Tyson<br />
Fury has been desperate to<br />
capitalise on ever since.<br />
“Boxers will go through<br />
these episodes and it just so<br />
happened it was my turn back<br />
when I fought Andy Ruiz,”<br />
says the 31-year-old. “At the<br />
time it was the worst thing<br />
that had ever happened to<br />
me in the ring, but now I look<br />
back on it as a blessing. I have<br />
proved to myself that I have the<br />
mental and physical resilience<br />
to power back from adversity<br />
when people all around you<br />
are questioning if you’ve still<br />
got it. You never know in the<br />
late rounds of a fight when that<br />
learned lesson could help me<br />
through to victory.”<br />
There’s a fair chance those<br />
echoes may come about when<br />
AJ gets his long-awaited<br />
shot at Tyson Fury. It’s the<br />
heavyweight boxing bout the<br />
world has been desperate to<br />
see, although it now seems<br />
that Fury will first have to again<br />
fight mandatory challenger<br />
Deontay Wilder, with Joshua<br />
taking on Ukrainian Alexander<br />
Usyk. Only when those two old<br />
foes are overcome will the fight<br />
everyone has been waiting for<br />
get the nod.<br />
“All I know is I will be ready and<br />
happy to show the world that<br />
I am the best. I don’t believe<br />
anyone can take away from<br />
me what I’ve worked so hard<br />
to earn, and I look forward to<br />
proving it.”

Money Matters<br />
Loan Ranger<br />
The complete guide to Higher Education student loans.<br />
Tuition Fee Loan - Quite<br />
simply, a loan that covers<br />
tuition fees, so that a student<br />
can move on with the<br />
reassurance that they have<br />
paid for their studies for the<br />
duration of the course.<br />
It is possible to extend this for<br />
an additional year (as many<br />
students may<br />
entertain the idea<br />
of a gap year),<br />
though while<br />
courses, seminars<br />
and trips are<br />
covered, things<br />
like books aren’t.<br />
The loan is paid<br />
directly to the<br />
Higher Education<br />
institution.<br />
Maintenance<br />
Loan - This loan is<br />
designed to cover<br />
living costs and, in<br />
a basic sense, the<br />
expenses related in surviving<br />
day to day. Obviously those<br />
expenses will include private<br />
rent, food, utilities, travel,<br />
clothes, entertainment and<br />
socialising.<br />
It may be possible to apply<br />
for bursaries or grants which<br />
would provide a student<br />
with a financial ‘top-up’. The<br />
approving of these depends on<br />
your financial status and family<br />
household income, as well as<br />
if other siblings have gone into<br />
Higher Education.<br />
Conditions - To apply for<br />
finance the student will need<br />
to be studying at a recognised<br />
publicly-funded university,<br />
college or private institution, on<br />
an approved full-time course.<br />
Funding for a second Higher<br />
Education course is possible,<br />
though is much harder to<br />
come by.<br />
The student will need to be a<br />
UK resident or national, with<br />
settled status and having lived<br />
here for three years previously.<br />
Interest - The extremely low<br />
interest rates on student loans<br />
mean most students choose to<br />
take out both Tuition Fee and<br />
Maintenance loans. They will<br />
not affect your credit rating, nor<br />
adversely impact the chances<br />
of getting a mortgage.<br />
Applying - Loans can be<br />
applied for via the relevant<br />
student body (depending on<br />
where the student resides in<br />
the UK), and those seeking<br />
means-tested support will need<br />
to supply evidence to back up<br />
any figures.<br />
Other funding - It’s<br />
always worth checking<br />
with the university or<br />
college to see if they<br />
provide additional<br />
financial initiatives that<br />
can boost money reserves.<br />
In addition, some charities<br />
occasionally have plans<br />
which can boost financial<br />
buoyancy, while possible<br />
future employers offer<br />
sponsorship schemes.<br />
In summing up, it’s worth<br />
suggesting that the ‘live for<br />
the moment’ nature of student<br />
life decrees that student loans<br />
– and, specifically, the repaying<br />
of them – can be left for further<br />
down the line, but harnessing<br />
financial responsibility<br />
is always important and<br />
managing a student loans is<br />
ultimately a great place to start.

Dog Days<br />
Essential preparation for ensuring that both you and your dog have the happiest start to your<br />
new life together.<br />
DO discuss who will be responsible<br />
for any new jobs your pet brings<br />
with them, but DON’T be too rigid<br />
once your new buddy arrives.<br />
Animals are unpredictable so there<br />
needs to be an element of ‘wait and<br />
see’, because pets can really alter<br />
the dynamic in a household.<br />
--<br />
DO take a trip to the pet shop, but<br />
DON’T buy it out.<br />
Buy the essentials such as food and<br />
water bowls, training pads, a few<br />
toys and a comfy bed for your new best buddy to sleep<br />
in, but avoid unnecessary accessories or gimmicky items.<br />
--<br />
DO focus on the positive and fun side of pet ownership,<br />
but DON’T forget the important stuff too.<br />
Daydreaming about walks and cuddles is natural, but be<br />
realistic about the more practical side of caring for an<br />
animal, such as a reputable vet,<br />
pet insurance and the regularity<br />
(and cost) of vaccinations and<br />
medications.<br />
--<br />
DO<br />
‘puppy-proof’ your home, but<br />
DON’T<br />
expect your dog to follow<br />
the rules right away.<br />
Lay out puppy pads, tidy up<br />
loose wires, put up the stairgate<br />
and store away valuable shoes<br />
and furniture, yet still chaos<br />
may ensue, so be patient and<br />
understanding.<br />
--<br />
DO show your new dog a lot of love and attention, but<br />
DON’T overwhelm them.<br />
Settling into a new home is tough for all of us, so it’s<br />
important to cuddle and comfort your new roommate,<br />
offering them space to acclimatise and work out the<br />
logistics of their new home.<br />

Beauty Tips<br />
Make-up Hacks<br />
Make the most of your make-up accessories with these ingenious hacks.<br />
• Get natural contouring the easy way -<br />
Find the perfect spot every time for your<br />
blush or bronzer by placing an eyeliner<br />
pencil just below your cheekbone to get<br />
the right angle, and brush above that line.<br />
• Make your own lip gloss - Never throw<br />
away a broken eyeshadow powder again.<br />
Simply mix it with Vaseline for an ‘on the<br />
spot’ lip shine.<br />
• Turn a pencil eyeliner into gel - This may<br />
sound crazy, but if you hold an ordinary<br />
eye pencil in a lighter or candle flame for<br />
one second, let it cool for 15, and you will<br />
end up with a deep, smudgy gel effect.<br />
• Revive dried-up mascara - Don’t bin that<br />
dried-out tube just yet - simply add a few drops of<br />
saline solution for instant va-va-voom.<br />
• Make lipstick last longer - Tired of your lipstick<br />
letting you down? Simply cover your finished lips<br />
with a tissue which you then dust with translucent<br />
powder to set the colour.<br />
• Wing it - If you struggle with steady hands when<br />
applying eye liner,<br />
simply employ the help<br />
of a teaspoon to create<br />
a wonderful wing effect.<br />
Start your eyeliner as<br />
you would for a cat<br />
eye look, pressing the<br />
rounded side of the<br />
spoon against your<br />
eyelid, and move the<br />
spoon outwards to<br />
create your fab flick.<br />
• Cover up dark circles<br />
like a pro - Rather than<br />
follow the crescent line<br />
of your eye bags, draw<br />
a triangle shape with concealer from the edges of<br />
your lashes down to your cheekbone and blend.<br />
• Never have lipstick on your teeth again - Have<br />
gorgeous dark lips and an equally lovely smile by<br />
popping your finger in your mouth after applying<br />
lipstick, close your lips around your finger and pull<br />
it out.<br />
• Curl your lashes in no time at all - Make lash<br />
curling a doddle by heating your curler up with a<br />
gentle blast from your hairdryer.<br />
• Smell like an angel all day long - Quit dousing<br />
yourself in scent, and instead apply to your pulse<br />
points for all-day aroma. These include: behind<br />
your ear, your wrist, base<br />
of throat, inside elbow and<br />
behind your knees.<br />
• Create contours with just<br />
blush - If you’re not ready<br />
for full-on contouring, you<br />
can still enhance your face’s<br />
natural shape by applying<br />
pink blush on cheekbones,<br />
temples and brow bones.<br />
• Conceal those pimples<br />
- Make spots disappear by<br />
applying concealer, topped<br />
by foundation and finished<br />
with a touch of powder.<br />
• Boost your manicure - Forgo the layer of clear<br />
base and instead apply white nail varnish followed<br />
by your colour of choice. You’ll be amazed at how<br />
the colour pops with this simple trick.

The project has proved very sucessful with many charities in the Torfaen area using<br />
Target to get their message to the public.<br />
Some of the amazing local causes we have helped are:<br />
Hope GB, CoStar, Cwmbran Community Council, Crosey Food Share and Trac2.<br />
It is important to the Target team that the magazine plays a role in promoting these<br />
vital services to the residents and to make people who need them aware of what<br />
support is available in the area. We are planning on expanding this program over the<br />
next twelve months. If you would like to promote your charity or community project<br />
details of how to get involved are on the next page.

The Book Corner<br />
Book review by<br />
Louise Mumford<br />
Hungry by Grace Dent<br />
Hungry is a memoir about food, class and<br />
families and follows the journey of well-known<br />
restaurant critic Grace Dent from her working-class<br />
childhood home in Carlisle to the<br />
multimillion-pound London restaurants that<br />
she reviewed.<br />
Above all, it is an unsentimental but<br />
heart-breaking tribute to the relationship between<br />
Grace Dent and her father, George, as he<br />
slowly slips out of reach into dementia.<br />
In a media career spanning more than two<br />
decades, Dent is best known as a restaurant<br />
critic and the early part of Hungry revisits the<br />
ways in which family life shaped her relationship<br />
with food.<br />
Ex-soldier George teaches her to cook with<br />
Campbell’s tinned soup. If you remember the<br />
eighties then this is a loving tribute to the convenience<br />
food of that era: families having their<br />
tea on their laps watching the television…<br />
which only had a few channels to choose from.<br />
Hungry is, as you’d expect, very, very funny<br />
(“Sadly, Mother’s aim to be posh was thwarted<br />
at every turn by our next-door neighbours,<br />
who were resolutely common”).<br />
There are echoes of Caitlin Moran in<br />
her tales of arriving in the world of<br />
London glossy magazines, where she is<br />
intimidated by sleek girls called Taffeta<br />
Flinty-Wimslow who only eat salad.<br />
It is, however, in the description of<br />
George’s dementia where Dent’s writing<br />
really shines and she describes her<br />
gnawing grief as the disease strips her<br />
father of his memories and personality<br />
as well as the small moments of connection<br />
that offer a way through.<br />
By turns comic, nostalgic and also<br />
incredibly sad, Hungry is an exploration<br />
of how food binds us together:<br />
the meals we take as families, the food<br />
shared with friends, the sneaky chocolate<br />
bars sneaked into school bags. A<br />
book to be devoured.

Gardening<br />
Songbirds<br />
Bring music to your life by attracting your own<br />
dawn chorus.<br />
Nature’s early-morning concert<br />
is one of the summer’s greatest<br />
pleasures, and with a little<br />
encouragement, we can bring<br />
this dawn chorus to our front<br />
and back doors.<br />
The birds:<br />
Robin – The robin produces a<br />
twinkling, crystal-like sound<br />
that flutters<br />
through the air.<br />
You’ll hear this<br />
little fellow all<br />
year round.<br />
other that offer a range of<br />
tones and a stylish array of<br />
chords.<br />
Song thrush – Heard<br />
throughout the year, the song<br />
thrush makes a sound closest<br />
to those slightly shrill mobile<br />
phone ringtones… but nicer!<br />
on offer; while tits, finches and<br />
siskins love the fatty proteins of<br />
peanuts.<br />
Great tit – A<br />
repetitive twotoned<br />
whistle<br />
that cuts through<br />
the air and is<br />
most prominent<br />
in early spring.<br />
Wren – For<br />
many, the best<br />
improvised<br />
whistle of them all, with a raft<br />
of twists and twirls ending up<br />
in a rattling cacophony of noise<br />
towards the end.<br />
Willow warbler – Best<br />
characterised for a chain<br />
of notes that lowers as it<br />
progresses, the warbler’s song<br />
has clear gaps in between<br />
notes and a powerful chirp.<br />
Chaffinch – Heard throughout<br />
spring and summer, the<br />
chaffinch offers a punchy,<br />
powerful array of notes that<br />
slows towards the end<br />
Blackbird – So typical of the<br />
bird itself, the blackbird’s song<br />
features notes drawn into each<br />
Goldfinch –<br />
With elegant<br />
inflections<br />
and the occasional sound of<br />
a penny whistle thrown in for<br />
good measure, a chaffinch has<br />
an eclectic song and is heard<br />
from early spring.<br />
How to attract them: Bird<br />
feeders – Unknown to many,<br />
the type of food you leave<br />
in bird feeders will directly<br />
influence the species you<br />
attract. For instance, suet balls<br />
are favourites with robins,<br />
blue tits and long-tailed tits;<br />
niger seeds are loved by<br />
greenfinches and goldfinches;<br />
starlings, robins and blackbirds<br />
will come if mealworms are<br />
Water – Whether bathing,<br />
playing in it or drinking the stuff,<br />
a supply of fresh<br />
water, usually on<br />
a shallow plate,<br />
is one of the best<br />
ways to get birds<br />
engaged in your<br />
garden.<br />
Plants – Edible<br />
plants, berries,<br />
shrubs and<br />
wildflowers will<br />
keep your birds hanging around<br />
for long periods.<br />
Protection – Birds are always<br />
on the lookout for cats and<br />
other predators ready to disrupt<br />
their everyday pleasures of<br />
gliding from one branch to<br />
another, so the more space you<br />
can offer your feathered friends,<br />
the more they will relax and<br />
hang about.<br />
Birdboxes – Ensure you’re<br />
hanging these high enough<br />
away from cats and squirrels,<br />
and in a semi-sheltered where<br />
birds can nest in peace.
