Welcome.......With Wimbledon fortnight well underway and the World Cupnearing an inevitably exciting conclusion, it's impossible to escapesports of some variety this summer! Getting together to watchthese fixtures, perhaps with chilled glass in hand or even theenticing aroma of a barbecue wafting in from the garden, is alovely way to spend a memorable summer with friends and family.
Making time in our busy lives to unwind, be ourselves and createthese memories is as essential as eating well - it's nourishment forthe soul!
Choose some new plants for the garden and everyone can enjoythem, take up a new hobby as a family, perhaps even get the kidsinvolved in a project to enhance your home? Or why not simplyswitch off your phone, collect a picnic basket and take those thatyou love for an afternoon in the countryside - a sunny day,pleasant surroundings and good company..........now that's myidea of heaven!
Until next time…

It may leave motorists seeing red, but it seems thatthe colour of your car is responsible for how attractiveit is to birds. Bright red cars are a magnet for morebird droppings than vehicles of any other colour whilegreen cars are most likely to escape from the unwelcome attentions of our feathery friends. A study recorded the frequency that birds left theirmark on cars in five cities around the UK and foundgreen cars suffer least, followed by silver, while whitevehicles escaped more often than black in analysis of1,140 cars in Brighton, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchesterand Bristol. Drivers were also asked how quickly theyremoved the offending evidence. Only 17% - one insix - wipe off deposits as soon as they spot them,20% take action within a couple of days while 55%wait until the next wash. The remaining eight per centnever wash their cars or leave it to someone else. But as well as being unsightly, insurance industry figures show bird droppings can be an expensiveproblem and estimate the damage caused by poop-stained paintwork costs motorists £57m a yearin unnecessary repairs. A car cleaning expert says:"This research does have a serious side because theproblem annoys drivers, causes damaged paintworkand affects the value of vehicles. To protect yourbodywork from damage, droppings should be carefully cleaned off as soon as possible."

We all know that eating your greens, drinking plentyof water and taking regular exercise are good for us.But did you know that your daily coffee break at workcould be doing your health more good than yourealise? If so then you're not alone as the latest marketresearch suggests that current perceptions aboutcoffee in the UK are completely off the boil. But thetruth is that your regular cup of coffee can count aspart of your daily fluid intake and can help protectyou against an array of diseases. There are many misconceptions about coffee. Forexample, 61 per cent of us don't even realise that itcan count toward our daily fluid intake. Its healthbenefits are also unknown, as 84 per cent of us don'tknow that coffee consumption has been shown toprotect against cognitive decline and certain otherneurological disorders such as Alzheimer's diseaseand Parkinson's disease. Not only this but coffeemay protect against the development of type-twodiabetes and 74 per cent of us have no idea. GP at Richford Gate Medical Practice Dr Sarah Jarvissays: "We need to be aware that there are manymisconceptions about coffee that are simply not true.There is strong scientific evidence to suggest thatmoderate coffee consumption (four to five cups perday) may confer a variety of health benefits andshould be enjoyed when we take our breaks in theday."
As well as beingenjoyable, andsafe inmoderation,caffeine canincrease yourlevels of alertness,helping you tostay on top formwhen you are atyour desk or in that all-important meeting. Going forthat well earned coffee break should be part of ourdaily routine, yet, 63 per cent of us have tried toreduce the number of cups we drink each daybecause of myths about coffee. The main ones are outlined below. Top Coffee Myths Coffee is an addictive drug? Three out of four coffee drinkers have tried to reducethe number of cups of coffee consumed each daybecause they think coffee is addictive. However,there is no scientific evidence to support this claimwhen coffee is consumed in moderation Coffeedehydrates you? Over 50 per cent of coffee drinkers have tried toreduce their number of daily cups because they thinkcoffee is dehydrating. Scientific evidence shows thata cup of coffee will contribute to your daily fluidintake so enjoy your coffee without feeling guilty!
A healthy break
