Welcome to

the October

edition of

‘The Hampton

Viewer’

Well, the summer, as dismal as it

was, is now officially over and we are

now bang in the midst of Autumn. As

always, autumn brings Half term

school holiday, Halloween and Bonfire

night. On pages 36/37, there are lots

of activities/events for entertaining the

children on these occasions and

there’s also some great events you

may enjoy yourself.

This year the popular Firework

Fiesta normally held at Ferry Meadows

is now going to be held at The East of

England Showground on 3rd

November - for more details see

page 6. We are told, this will be a

bigger and better event than before -

so don’t miss it!!!

Also, it was great to see so many

people enjoying The Italian Festival

held on 15th and 16th September at

the Cathedral Square, soaking in the

Italian culture and the whole of the

Peterborough community coming

together. The star attraction was

celebrity Gino D’Acampo, who made

his first visit to Peterborough on the

Sunday to close the Festival. It was a

pleasure to see him and I did manage

to get his autograph!!!

Finally, if you know of any charities

or voluntary organizations that need

to advertise local events, please do

get in touch, we will be happy to

include it in the next edition.

Until next month!

LAWN CARE IN OCTOBER

Autumn Feed This feed is another important part of any lawncare programme. Feed with a fertiliser high in Phosphate and Potassium with additional Iron for that dark green look.

Aeration Soil compaction is a frequent cause of turf deterioration and moss invasion so we recommend aerating in autumn/winter; over sow with seed to help any bare areas re-establish before weeds and moss do!

Worm Casts This month will probably see the appearance of worm casts (small mounds of earth brought to the surface by worms). Treatments can be applied to stop the casts occurring in the first place.

Moss Moss will start to encroach now and it is advisable to treat now before it competes with the lawn. Our fertiliser contains extra iron to help reduce the moss problem.

Actions required in Autumn Autumn feed / Moss Control improves colour and controls moss: Aerate lawn - Relieves compaction and prepares soil for sowing extra seed Worm Casts - Brush off when dry or treat with a pesticide Moss - Treat moss

Some of the above tasks can be carried out by the lawn owner; other tasks may need

some professional intervention

BEAUTY

Tools of the Trade

N o make-up artist would be without a

quality brush set. It provides all the

tools needed to sculpt, conceal and

enhance, whilst ensuring an even

application of any product. Make-up

brushes come in many shapes and sizes,

and each has its own job. The most

essential are:

Foundation brush - this ensures that a

totally flawless finish is created. It makes

liquid foundation easy to apply and

guarantees an even covering.

Concealer brush - allows for precision

when concealing any blemish, dark circle or

imperfection.

Powder brush - foundation should always

be set with powder and this brush offers

the perfect covering.

Blusher brush - a good blusher brush will

effortlessly sculpt the cheekbones and

provide a well- blended hint of colour.

Eyeshadow brushes - recent make-up

trends have dictated that the focus is on

lips rather than eyes, however eye-shadow

shouldn’t be overlooked. Swap dark

shades for a neutral and natural palette

and use your eye-shadow brushes to create

definition.

Always remember to contour the eye by

applying the lightest colour to the inner

corners and under the brow bone,

mid-colour to your socket and darkest

shade to the outer corners.

Lip brush – after trying a lip brush you

won’t ever want to be without one.

Defining the lips is made easy, and colour

looks even and natural.

‘natural’ or ‘bristle’ are often made from

squirrel, pony, sable or goat hair, so make

sure they’re 100% cruelty free before you

buy.

‘Synthetic’ brushes are often far cheaper and

mimic the feel of natural bristle.

Problem? No Problem

Professional make-up artists have a solution

for any problem. Here are a few top tips.

Under-Eye Dark Circles Firstly, prepare the skin under the eyes with

an eye gel. Using the correct brush, apply

concealer that’s two shades lighter than

your foundation - yellow toned versions

work well on ivory/beige coloured skin - to

the entire area. Use your finger to blend,

using a ‘tapping’ motion.

When you apply your foundation over an

area that’s just been concealed, be sure to

use the same ‘tapping’ motion that you did

to conceal it, otherwise you will just be

wiping away the product & revealing the

dark area.

Under-Eye Puffiness A common mistake that many women make

is to try to disguise puffy eyes by using a

light coloured concealer. This only draws

attention to the problem. The key is to

highlight the shadowy area underneath the

puffiness to create balance and even out the

look of the under-eye area.

After applying foundation, use a light-

reflecting liquid concealer or highlighter and

apply just under the puffiness, where the

shadowy area is being created, not on the

eye-bag itself. Blend by patting the product

into the skin.

Over-Plucked Eyebrows Finding the right shape eyebrow for your

face is essential, so take care not to over-

pluck. However, if your eyebrows are a little

sparse, there’s no need to worry, as you can

create the look of naturally full brows by

using either eye-brow pencil or powder.

Mimic your natural brows by using feather-

like strokes when you apply, and be sure

never to draw a straight or solid line.

The Whinge

Presenting the Case for the Prosecution, M’Lud

m mm! Last month I told you about my

supe r -e x tens i ve

holiday travel preparations all in

aid of ensuring that the trip

would be stress free and the

holiday would start early.

Hmmm!

I just missed one tiny detail.

Prior to the holiday my wife and

I spent an inordinate amount of

time viewing and trialling suit-

cases. We have two large very

sturdy cases and one half size

of equal stability. These are

very strong bags that we’ve had for over 10

years with barely a scratch on them. You

can throw them around and treat them with

wanton abandon, you can even sit on them

and they will withstand the treatment with

an almost dismissive snort as they just stare

back at you saying “Is that all you’ve got?

Pah!”.

The only mark on them is a yellow crayon

mark from the last time we visited the States

nearly 11 years ago.

However, because my daughter is getting

older and now has more clothes that take

up more room – and because we wanted to

take an empty case with us – we decided to

buy another case.

Since we bought our existing cases many

things have changed: weight limits on flights,

and the strength of lightweight materials

being the major influences on modern

suitcase design. It’s now all about the

lightness and our current cases, though very

strong are also quite heavy at nearly6kg

each. Modern cases come in at almost half

that. They can also be a little bigger for their

weight – all because of the strength and

durability of modern materials. I’m not bitter

about the cost, but I do think we could have

probably posted our luggage to the States

using air-mail in both directions and it would

have been cheaper.

So we bought the biggest,

lightest and strongest that we

could – deciding on this took

weeks of touring round

department stores, sieving

through on-line reviews, and

making pro-con lists. After all of

this you’d think we’d have the

perfect case. After all we’d

thought of absolutely every

eventuality. Apparently though,

we hadn’t thought of

everything; we’d forgot one

very simple situation.

The taxi turned up on time,

pre-booked weeks in advance to take us to

the hotel for the night prior to our flight.

Everything looked like it was going

according to plan – stress free holiday here

we come. Hmmm!

The tiny detail I forgot: this new case was

quite a bit larger than our existing cases all

together they took up rather a lot of space.

Basically, they wouldn’t all fit in the taxi.

The driver and I spent about 45 minutes

trying all sorts of different configurations

trying to get them in. We even took out the

spare wheel to try and fit one in the space –

no dice. Eventually we had to make a

decision; so one of the suitcases had to go

on the back seat and my daughter had to

squeeze into the spare wheel space. She’s

still young and supple so that was the easiest

solution because I didn’t want to have to

leave any of the cases behind because I’d

spent so long making sure each of them

were balanced within the weight limits. Also

we’d upgraded our flights so we had a large

weight limit and I didn’t want to waste that

either. And anyway being cramped-up for

a bit might stop her growing for a bit and

she might then have her clothes long

enough to actually wear them before

they’re too small. But that’s a whinge for

another day.

and beer

A new night out to bring some cheer to the long autumn nights has been added to the area’s social calendar.

Delicious sirloin of beef carved at the table and unlimited Ufford ale will be served during a four-course dinner at

Greetham Valley Hotel on

Friday 16th November.

Billed as “the ultimate party of the year”, the evening will include casino tables and an auction as well as enter-tainment from singer Peter Jay to make the evening go with a swing.

Organiser Jackie Page said “This is a black tie event with a difference which we are confident will become one of the areas most popular nights out.”

Tickets are £49 a head and transport to and from Thorpe Hall in Longthorpe is also available for £10 each. If you want to make a weekend of it, the hotel is offering discounted accommodation and golf.

In The Night Sky #19

Y ou will have heard that Pluto is not a

planet but is a dwarf planet; this was

decided by the IAU (International

Astronomical Union) on 24 August 2006 at the

26th General Assembly in Prague (resolutions

4A and 5A for those who like all the details).

This isn’t the first time a planet has been

demoted; Ceres was originally described as a

planet when it was discovered in 1801. It was

soon to be described as a minor planet and

often a large asteroid.

However, just how many minor planets are in

our Solar System. Unfortunately, nobody

knows yet. Because although there is a

definition it’s still quite vague; a planet or

dwarf planet needs to have “sufficient mass

for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body

forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic

equilibrium (nearly round) shape” as well as a

couple of other criteria. So there might be a

large number of large asteroids that could be

classified as dwarf planets because in the

Asteroid Belt and Kuiper Belt there are

probably hundreds of candidates. Although

NASA track a considerable number of objects

in these areas they can’t necessarily

determine their size or shape accurately

because of the number of objects and the

relative darkness of them – that was the

problem with Ceres. Even though Ceres is

close to Earth you won’t be able to see it

without a very good telescope, & this is why

you don’t hear much about the dwarf planets

- they’re hard to see and don’t do much.

The NASA image below shows the relative

sizes of the planets and named dwarf planets,

but you probably won’t even see the dwarfs

on this page because they’re that small – but

they are there honest. If you have got a very

good scope Hallow’en will be a good night to

spot Ceres because it will be still relative to

Earth at 2100hrs. But if not, head over to the

NASA website for some pictures.

Happy night watching.
