Sudoku
Test Your Knowledge The brain is an amazing thing and picks up and stores bits of information that you don’t know you have until you’re asked. See how many of these you can answer! 1. Seismologist CF Richter created a scale in the 1930s for the measurement of what? 2. Which city in the United States is both home to the Kentucky derby and the birthplace of boxer Muhammad Ali? 3. What type of product was the first ever featured on British Commercial TV (ITV) 4. Which is the largest body of fresh water in the British Isles? 5. Prince Charles made a cameo appearance on the 40th Anniversary of which soap? 6. The infamous ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ took place in which war? 7. Maddie Hayes and David Addison were the two main characters in which 80s hit TV show? 8. Brasillia was made Brazil’s capital in 1960. Which city did it replace? 9. Italy lost the 1994 World Cup Final, when – for the first time – the match finished goalless and – again for the first time - had to be decided on penalties. Which team won it?
10. In 1972, Margaret Thatcher was Education Secretary and created huge controversy by bringing an end to what?
LATERAL THINKING Here are some lateral thinking brain teasers. See how many of these you can work out! 1. What would you put on a table, cut and pass around, but never actually eat? 2. I had to meet an American, an Australian and a South African at the airport. One of them was called Bruce and as the three came towards me I identified him immediately. How? 3. Sheriff Tom Brown rode into town on Friday, stayed three nights and left on Sunday morning. Explain... 4. When you’re looking for something it’s always in the last place you look. There is a proven explanation for this. What is it? 5. If I was in a balloon off the south coast of Ireland and I dropped two wine bottles, one full and one empty, which would hit the ground first?

In The Garden
P
lant or divide snowdrops while they are still in the green. Deadhead pansies and other winter bedding on a regular basis so that they carry on well into the spring. Start gladioli corms and dahlia tubers off by placing them in trays in a light, warm place. Remove dead leaves from alpines and top dress with grit or gravel. Plan your summer containers and bedding and buy plug plants to grow on in the greenhouse. Slug killer should be added to the garden where you know hostas, delphiniums and lilies will soon be appearing. The best day to do this is Valentines day as it is the right time and the easiest date to remember. Sow hardy annuals in pots or trays if you didn’t do this last autumn. Wisteria should be pruned by cutting back the sideshoots to two or three buds. Cut back group 3 clematis down to the lowest pair of strong buds and then feed and mulch. At the end of the month top dress beds and borders with a fertiliser such a fish, blood and bone or Growmore.
Lawns Turf can be laid if the ground is not frozen or really wet and then keep off of it for
several weeks. If the conditions allow, you can prepare the seed bed for making a new lawn in the spring. As moles will be starting to mate this month watch out for increased activity and get rid of any mole hills that appear on the lawn. As the soil pushed up is so fine use it for seed sowing. If you have noticed moss or algae on the lawn it means you have drainage problems. Make a note to improve drainage at a later date.
Fruit and Vegetables Prune autumn raspberries, taking the old canes down to the ground and if summer fruiting raspberries are growing too tall for their support they can also be pruned. Plant new fruit trees and bushes and bare rooted cane fruits. If you have peaches, nectarines or apricots with early flowers you can protect them from frost with fleece. Apply a general fertilizer to all your fruit using the rate given on the packet. Now is a good time to mulch all the fruit beds with garden compost or well rotted manure. Once you have an area of the garden or allotment prepared for seedbeds cover them with fleece, clear polythene or cloches to warm up the soil prior to sowing.
PAGE 14 | Please mention ‘The Local Answer Ingleby Barwick’ when calling advertisers
See Page 30 for our Index of Advertisers Seeds of summer vegetables can be sown now in pots or seed trays if you have a clay soil or outside if your soil is light. Sow lettuce, radish, onions, peas, broad beans and summer cabbage. Buy seed potatoes and leave in a light but frost free place to chit. Stand them upright in trays or egg cartons with the end with most shoots uppermost. From the middle of the month you can sow seeds of greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers in a heated propagator or warm room where the temperature does not drop below 70° F or 21°C.
Wildlife Keep an eye on the water level of your wildlife pond and if it is low top up with water, preferably from a rainwater butt. Put up nesting boxes for birds separately from bird feeders. Site them facing north or north east so they do not get too hot. If you can combine this with facing one of your windows you will have the added pleasure of seeing the mother bird coming and going and then the chicks leaving the nest. Still provide adequate food for the birds but start to make the pieces smaller as it gets near to fledgling time. Birds really need our help now as there is very little natural food about for them and they need to build up their strength for breeding. In very mild weather hedgehogs, frogs and toads may emerge from hibernation. If you see any signs of this the hedgehogs would appreciate a little extra feeding with cat or dog food.

Humour WONDERFUL OBSERVATIONS OF ST VALENTINE’S DAY
T
here are many ways to appreciate and enjoy St Valentine’s Day, given that it’s theoretically the most romantic day of the year. Sadly, however, some people look on it as a bit of a challenge and find it hard to show their true feelings. To help them we’ve put together some alternative observations on the big day! Jim asked his friend Tony - who was a bit of a chauvinist - whether he’d bought his wife anything for Valentine’s Day. ‘Yes,’ came the answer, ‘I’ve bought her a belt and a bag. ‘’That was very kind of you,’ Jim added, ‘I hope she appreciates the thought.’ ‘So do I,’ smiled Tony, ‘especially when she realises that the vacuum cleaner will work much better now she’s got them.’ A bloke who thought he was a bit of a charmer sidles over to a really good looking girl in the nightclub and says ‘Tell me, honey, do you have a date for Valentine’s Night?’ ‘Yes,’ she said, ‘February the 14th, now get lost.’ A friend of mine was telling me about one of the best Valentine
messages he’d ever received. It was from a wonderful lady with whom he had enjoyed a long and lasting friendship. ‘Her advice in the card,’ he said, ‘suggested that as you grow older the only things you ever regret are the things you didn’t do. I have,’ he continued, ‘taken her advice and lived a wonderful life ever since.’
It was St Valentine’s Day and a husband and wife were discussing whether their rather romantic time together could continue until they reached a hundred. ‘Not really,’ said the husband, ‘because one of the great tragedies of life is that the only way you can live to be a hundred is if you give up all the things that actually make you want to live that long!

A man walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing “Love” stamps on a load of bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them. The first man’s curiosity got the better of him so he asked the balding man what he is doing. The man says “I’m sending out 1,000 Valentine cards signed, ‘Guess who?” “But why?” asked the man. “I’m a divorce lawyer,” was the reply. A girl decided to buy her boyfriend a new jacket for Valentine’s Day but couldn’t decide which was best so she approached the salesman. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, ‘but if your girlfriend was to buy you a new jacket what type would you want it to be?’ ‘Bullet-proof,’ he replied, ‘I’m married!’ It was Valentine’s night at the club and a sleazy bloke approached a good looking girl and said ‘Hi Honey, your place or mine?’ ‘Both,’ she said, ‘you go to yours and I’ll go to mine.’ Two girls were discussing where they might find a nice date for Valentine’s night. ‘Where on earth,’ said the first, ‘are all the really nice, attractive, considerate, loving men who are actually able to show their real feelings?’ ‘They already have boyfriends,’ was the reply. Have a great Valentine’s Day!

Recipe
TRADITIONAL PANCAKES
T
raditional pancakes are quick to make, easy, cheap and quite delicious with lemon and sugar, golden syrup, chocolate Nutella type spread, honey, cream... whatever takes your fancy. You need a gentle touch to start with, the aim is to get thin pancakes with a frilly edge and to do this you must have a hot pan and only a little batter. Pour it in quickly and move the pan from side to side to distribute the batter. You should see the little bubbles rising to the surface, flip up the side with a fish slice to see if it is brown enough but don’t get carried away and start batting it down with the slice-you will only make the pancake heavier. A quick flick of the wrist and you should be able to flip it into the air like a pro. Once you have made one or two you will get the knack of it. They are best eaten warm.
INGREDIENTS: Makes about fourteen pancakes 125g Plain flour ¼ teaspoon of salt 1 large egg 300ml milk Lard or solid vegetable fat
METHOD: Place flour and salt in a basin. Make a well in the centre and add the egg and half the milk. Beat well and then gradually add the rest of the milk. Beat until bubbles appear and then pour into a small jug to make the pouring easier. The batter should be the consistency of single cream. Keep a fork or mini-whisk in the jug so you can give it another beat as you go along. Heat up your pan and add a small piece

of fat (about the size of a hazelnut). Allow it to spread over the pan by tipping it back and forward and let it get fairly hot. Pour in a little batter and quickly tilt the pan from side to side so that the batter spreads out thinly. Little bubbles should appear on the surface (if they don’t you have poured in too much mixture). Check to see if the bottom is golden use a fish slice to have a look. When it is
golden and starting to brown toss or turn it over and cook the other side. If you have a lot to make it’s handy to use a piece of fat wrapped in muslin, scrunched up and held with fine string. Then you can just swipe it across the pan each time. These pancakes are best served straight away but can be stored one on top of the other, separated by greaseproof paper, and then wrapped in a tea towel.
