YOD SIAM The ‘Thai Select’ awardassures you that deliciousThai cuisine is being served ina pleasant atmosphere, andwith that famous Thai smile.Yod Siam have received thisdistinctive award - one of the

highest achievable outside of Thailand. Thai Select, is an award created by the Royal Thai Government and

it aims to maintain the high standards of Thai Restaurants abroad.‘Thai Select’ certifies that the food, hospitality and atmosphere of therestaurant are authentic.

Gaining this prestigious award is not easy; standards and guidelinesare strict. Only through training and inspections have the finest Thairestaurants worldwide achieved this distinction. Among the require-ments to pass chefs must be carefully trained in the preparation ofbona fide Thai meals. An accolade to owner Yod, whose hard workand determination to achieve such high standards are evident to allwho visit the beautifully decorated and welcoming restaurant.

Yod built his restaurant and culinary skills up over many years byhelping in his mother’s restaurant in Bangkok. This ‘grassroots’ levelof experience has served his customers well, with Yod at the head ofone of the most authentic Thai dining experiences available in the country.

With bold authentic flavours, the menu at Yod Siam venturesbeyond the standard Thai eatery, offering flavours that are rich andrefreshing. The balance of sweet and sour, salty and hot is what isoften praised about Thai cooking, which focuses on bold flavours in

blissful harmony. Duck Thai Panaeng red curry being a perfectexample. Catering for the nervous or unadventurous among us, Yod also serves up timeless classic dishes - all cooked to the same highstandards one would expect.

Although they dutifully provide the requisite dishes for Thai restau-rants in Britain, you can have their mixed Hor d’oeuvres, Pad Thai andgorgeous Chicken Satay. Rest assured, they won’t disappoint -whatever your choice!

Why not be surprised by some of their less acknowledged dishes? Somany of us stick to what we know and love but miss out on the moreadventurous creations. Does Chicken in exotic tamarind sauce withcashew nuts (a personal favourite) sound interesting? Or sea basssteamed with lemongrass and Thai spicy herbs tempt your taste buds?You never know - one of these may become your must have dish!

Not only can Yod provide a beautifully presented intimate meal fortwo they can design a menu especially for you.

If you’re thinking of a celebration and need a venue, Yod and hisexpert chef will put together a selection of dishes to suit the occasionand your needs. Whether it’s a business lunch or a set meal for thirtythey can provide just the right options.

The reputation of the restaurant is notable and has grown fromstrength to strength over the years. Service is excellent and all of thestaff at Yod Siam are exceptionally polite and respectful with awillingness to please. What’s more: you can park right outside inSainsburys car park for convenience.

So why not experience the tastes for yourself? - It’s not just a meal;it’s a journey into Thai culture.

A Blue Plaque wasunveiled last month to commemorate ‘The Guv’nor’ at Barton House.Breeze findsout more...

T.H. Barton, who was affectionately known as’The Guv’nor’, is to be the first person in this areato be commemorated by a new series of ‘BluePlaques’. The plaque is to be unveiled by SirNeil Cossons, a hero of the heritage scene, and aformer Chairman of English Heritage.The plaque will be attached to the landmark

Art Deco Bartons office building built by T HBarton’s bus company, Barton Transport Limited,in its original form in 1913 and modernised inthe 1930s and 1960s.T H Barton was so much more than the person

who created what was to become WesternEurope’s largest independent bus company. Hewas an enterprising engineer ahead of his time,he was amongst the first in the world to workon the then unnamed Diesel engine. He wasone of the first in the world to operate atimetabled bus service, he invented a newalternative fuel system for vehicles during theoil shortages of both world wars. He worked inships engine rooms across the China Seas. Heinstalled lighting on railway stations acrossRussia and Siberia. He extended and modifiedbuses to ‘carrying capacities’ not to be repeatedelsewhere for decades. He applied himself toimprove the comfort for, and service to, hispassengers, and they in turn held his Companyin great affection.T H Barton was awarded the OBE in 1943

for his services to the passenger transportindustry.“For over a forty year period …

he experimented and introduced both zany andforward thinking ideas”

When in 1946 T H Barton died one obituaryreflected on his life that he was ‘beloved of hisemployees for his genius as a mechanic,inventor, organiser, and human understanding.’His large workforce was amongst the many wholined the streets to say goodbye to him. Afterhis death the following was reported to theboard of Barton Transport Limited: ‘Severalsuggestions having been made from outsidethe Company that a memorial should beinstituted and the proposal was approved inprinciple’ But it seems that issues including thelooming Government threat to nationalise theCompany were more pressing, and after a yearthe matter was ‘deferred to future considera-tion’. So it seems finally that tribute is about tobe made. The commemorative plaque will beaffixed beside the window of the office T.HBarton left for the last time sixty four years ago.

Sir Neil Cossons OBE (born in Nottingham in1939) is Pro-Provost and Chairman of theCouncil of the Royal College of Art, of which hehas been a Governor since 1989. From 1986 to2000 he was the Director of the ScienceMuseum, London, UK, the National Museumof Science & Industry (NMSI). (The NMSIincludes the National Railway Museum,York andthe National Media Museum, Bradford (formerlythe National Museum of Photography, Film andTelevision) Previously he was the first Director ofthe Ironbridge Museum from 1971 and then atthe National Maritime Museum, Greenwichfrom 1983. He was Chairman of EnglishHeritage from 2000 to 2007.The son of aBeeston, Nottinghamshire headmaster andnoted historian, Neil Cossons studied historicalgeography at university and perhaps just asimportantly travelled as a boy on Bartons buses.The plaque scheme is a collaborative effort by

the Beeston and District Civic Society, theBeeston and District Local History Society and

the Stapleford and District Local History Society,supported by owners and others with theobject of celebrating people and place.Theplaque is the first of a series planned for SouthBroxtowe over the coming months.

Just like everyone else,our children need a placeto play, laugh and love life.A place where they andtheir families are caredfor and supported.Welcome to Rainbows –the East Midlands’hospice for children and young people.

Sadly, some children simply don’t live long enough.Since 1994 Rainbows has opened their doors andhearts to those children and the people who lovethem most.

And now more than ever, they need your help tokeep on bringing care and happiness to the childrenand their families. As the East Midlands’ only hospicefor children and young people, Rainbows is a placewhere life-limited children and their families cantake a break from life’s worries and heartaches.

Rainbows £4m development will soon be openIt’s a sad fact that there is now so much demand forRainbows’ services that they have spent £4mexpanding and renovating their building to providenew facilities and accommodate more children andyoung adults.

Rainbows has more than 15 years experience ofcaring for life-limited children from the EastMidlands.Their wonderful new wing will furtherbenefit the children and enable them to care foryoung people over the age of eighteen.

It can be difficult to maintain a focus on the normalactivities of daily life whilst a child is receivingterminal or palliative care. A child’s own prioritywould not necessarily be their physical needs ormedical treatment. Play within the hospice providessensory stimulation.The provision of more specialist

equipment (including a hydrotherapy pool, multi-sensory room and soft play room) and the opportu-nity for extra social activities, together withimproved facilities, will allow the children to behavelike children.

Six extra bedrooms will allow more children andtheir families to stay at the hospice – a real benefitfor everyone allowing Rainbows to offer a lot morecare. Although essential end-of-life care is alwaysavailable, the number of nights for specialist respitecare has reduced.The new wing added to thecurrent building increases the number of nights forrespite stays.This vital project will help enrich and improve the

short lives of so many children.

Together we can give even moreRainbows cares for over 250 families every year,

helping them to have fun and really enjoy lifethrough our specialist multi-sensory facilities,adapted accommodation, hydrotherapy pool andmusic room to name a few.The truth is that they can’t do our work without the

help of people like you – and we know that togetherwe can help them bring more love, smiles andlaughter to their children and families.

Rainbows would love to have your support andthere are lots of ways to help.You can donate atwww.rainbows.co.uk or call 01509 638 009 todonate over the phone. Or turn your hand tovolunteering or fundraising - take a look at thewealth of information on their website to find outmore.Want to get in touch?

Fancy a night at the pictures 1950’sstyle? Breeze finds out more...During the austere post war days of the early 1950’s, the brightest aspect of manypeople’s life was a visit to the “pictures”. It was a temporary escape from the routine ofeveryday life. Beeston boasted four cinemas and business was good.TV was just coming in but the‘pictures’ was still king.Many people still look back at those days with fond memories; there was always some thing magicalabout a ‘night at the pictures’.Beeston Probus Club and The Chilwell Arts Theatre have joined forces to recreate that special 1950’sfeeling. On Saturday October 9th they are bringing one of the greatest Hollywood films from thatera to the big screen, at the Paradiso Cinema, based at the Chilwell School.What a great picture, probably the best Hollywood musical of them all. Starring Gene Kelly,

Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds, this is a real happy” feel good “ experience.‘Singing In The Rain’ was first released in April 1952 and was a world wide smash hit.Whilst

being a musical it is also a mild ‘send up’ of Hollywood.The story follows the trials and tribula-tions of a film company coming to terms with the transition from silent to “talkies “and is set inthe 1920’s. Most of the musical numbers have stood the test of time to become standardfavourites .The title song is iconic and is featured in the popular dance sequence, performed by Gene

Kelly when he literally sings in the rain.The story goes that this sequence was filmed in a singletakem - some achievement! Donald O’Connor gets in on the act too when he dances to “Make‘em Laugh”. It’s the one where he runs up the wall and performs an amazing back somersault.This film was the then unknown Debbie Reynolds’ first starring role, she is still working today.

So if you are nostalgic for a touch of the past or if you are too young to remember butwonder how your parents or grandparents used to enjoy their nights at the “pictures”, whynot go along and see.

Join the special guest Jacky Williams, deputy Mayor of Broxtowe for this terrific night.All profits from the night will be donated to Skcin, the Karen Clifford skin cancer charity. It was set up in remembrance of Karen by her husband Richard.Based locally in Nottingham, it has become a national organisation. Its chairman is John Holmes, the well known broadcaster and television presenter.There are currently 70,000 cases of skin cancer a year reported in the UK resulting in 2000 deaths.See www.skcin.org Tickets at just £5.00 can be obtained by phoning 0115 925 2698 or 07827 996223.

Although many couples will have discussed someideas of how they might marry, the actual style ofa wedding can be strongly influenced by theincreasing number of venues and choicesbecoming available.

It comes down to basic factors first of all; Do youhave a large family to cater for? What budget doyou have? Does your venue involve travel? The most important advice is to make sure you

take the time and person-al reflection to enjoy it - itshould not be an ordealand needn’t be, if aims arerealistic and reasonably well planned.

Use the experience ofboth the professionals,who will often giveinformal advice if askedfor it and your familiesbut be careful not to letothers ‘dream your dream’and take over!

Church wedding:The most traditional

wedding ceremony. Costsare for special require-ments of the church suchas publishing the banns,plus the other costsassociated with the statei.e marriage certificate.Approx amount to bemarried in a church is£150 - £200 plus statecosts (around £30) butthis can vary according todistrict.

Civil ceremony:An increasingly popular

choice since 1994 when achange in the law permit-ted weddings to take

place in venues other than aregistry office.This means that some of the most

beautiful places in the country havebecome hot wedding venues.Choice of location comes down to amixture of the emotional, conven-

ience and the desire to make the day amemorable one - it is well worth taking days outto site see potential places to gain a feel and thendecide afterwards over a nice meal with yourpartner!The cost of a civil ceremony varies with district

and the fees for the registrar are higher due to thetravelling involved - but not excessively so.You will have to inform your home town’s

registry even when marrying under another

town’s authority.Approximate amount for paperwork in a civil

wedding is around £250.

Overseas wedding:A more popular choice for those with either

small families, or a wish to combine the weddingwith the honeymoon.About 30,000 UK couples now marry overseas

and often take advantage of packaged weddingswhich remove the hassle and stress from thesituation.All the razzamataz of the big day is arranged with

you when you get there, with a wedding co-ordinator who meets you and helps with the finerdetails such as choice of flowers etc and evenwitnesses if need be!

Invites:Many options available from stationary suppliers

who keep sample books and custom require-ments. Do-it yourself options, or hand madeinvites are becoming increasingly popular, as thisoffer the couple the personal touch.

Decorations:Themed weddings are on the increase, although

the traditional can benefit from excellant decor tocompliment your chosen colours.Table and venuedecorations can transform a room into your owndream wedding. Attention to this can make all thedifference for the ‘wow’ factor.

Cake:A good cakemaker will advise you on type, size

etc and will also have a catalogue of examplesthey have created as well as magazine samples towork from.Visiting your cakemaker on theirpremises is the best advice.

Photography:Take a look at their previous work. Check out

their credentials.When you have chosen, be veryclear about the type of photographs you want -showing examples from magazines is best.

Jewellery:‘Till death do us part’ that’s how long you’ll be

wearing your rings! So make sure you choose therights ones. Individually made designs are extraspecial. Or again, opt for the more traditionaldesigns.

Gifts:Don’t forget those little gifts to say‘Thank you’ to the people who havehelped you through your day. Moreand more items are available to choosefrom, for those closest to you totreasure as a token of your big day.

Dress/Suit:Check out a reasonable number of shops and

ask questions about colour matching etc. Lookfor somewhere that will again, give you thatpersonal touch.

Catering/Evening Venue:Caterers should be well established and prefer-

ably recommended. Hotel venues provide theirown usually and can recommend other suppli-ers for music etc.,so ask.

Flowers:Good florists are often associated with one of

the large national bodies. Judge according tohow you feel they care about you as a customer.These flowers are extra special - do they thinkthat as well?

Cars:Make sure you choose a reliable service - look

for recommendations and a good tradinghistory. Good wedding car hire specialists have arange of vehicles so again look for good choiceto suit your needs.

Music:Think carefully about the kind of day you want

it to be and choose your entertainment withcare. Disco’s are the most popular choice, try tomeet the DJ themselves. Recommendations arebest, ask if they play anywhere locally whereyou can get to hear them.Thought about hiringa band? - a nice alternative or addition to earlyevening entertainment.

Video:Available through multi media specialists who

can put music and effects to your images tomake them more polished. Now becomingavailable on DVD format so colours etc will notfade.

Beauty:The way you look for your photos is so strongly

influenced by how confident you feel. A goodmake-up specialist can really make you glow onthe day and this will show on your facial expres-sion.

Wedding Fairs:A superb way to meet and greet in person the

people who you will rely on come the big day.Great fun too, often with a live musician andfree food. Definitely worth an afternoon of yourtime in the end.

No one chooses to be homeless! When you think of the Homelessdo you typically think of people sleeping rough on the streets? Agroup of people are trying to change things in Long Eaton - youcan show your support....

Individuals loose their homes for a wide range of reasons – unemploy-ment, falling out with family, domestic violence, mental health problems,being evicted by their bank, building society or landlord.The Homeless are not just ‘rough sleepers’ but people who ‘sofa surf’ –

stay with friends or acquaintances sleeping on floors or sofas. Homelessleads to a rapid downward spiral that is very difficult to recover fromemotionally, physically or spiritually. Once homeless the world can feellike it’s against you!While the Homeless may feel helpless the Canaan Trust seeks to ensure

they will not be left hopeless.The Canaan Trust is a local Christian Charity that has two properties in

Long Eaton. Jordan House is a nine bedroom large property with sharedfacilities staffed 24 hours 7 days a week. The other property is a sharedhouse having three bedrooms with shared lounge, kitchen andbathroom. Both properties are situated close to Long Eaton town centreand its amenities.The Canaan Trust is about to commence a £40,000 lounge extension at

Jordan House on Main Street. One of the Charity’s Trustees, Jay Lane, hasundertaken to swim the Channel, toward the end of September, to helpraise the money towards the cost of this essential extension.Please consider helping and supporting the work that the CanaanTrust undertakes in the Local Community. Please consider sponsor-ing Jay’s Channel Swim. You can sponsor Jay by going on line at www.justgiving.com/canaan-trust/donate or contact the Canaan Trust via their website at www.canaan-trust.co.uk Tel: 0115 946 4903

Architect in the House is a fundraising campaign run byShelter and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).Architect in the House is entering its 14th year and has raisedover £1 million for homeless and badly housed people.Architect in the House is an innovative scheme that matcheshomeowners with an RIBA chartered architect, who has givenup their time, for an hour-long design consultation. Inexchange, the homeowner makes a suggested minimumdonation of £40 to Shelter. This innovative scheme has alsodirectly introduced over 40,000 homeowners to the benefits ofemploying an architect and helped them reach a new andexciting target audience for Shelter. This year, celebrityarchitect and TV ‘Home Show’guru George Clarke has given thescheme his backing and at present they are now working on ahuge PR campaign to spread the word about this fantasticinitiative.Shelter believes everyone needs a home in a place where they

can thrive. They help over 170,000 people a year fight for theirrights, get back on their feet, and find and keep a home. Theyalso tackle the root causes of bad housing by campaigning fornew laws, policies, and solutions. Their work won’t stop untilthere’s a home for everyone.Please help them. Visit shelter.org.uk to join their campaign, findhousing advice, or make a donation.

ENJOY A RIOT OFCOLOUR IN LATE SUMMER

Don’t be downhearted if your summer borderslook a little faded, because you can still have ariot of colour in late summer if you plantcarefully.

Blazing crocosmias and red hot pokers, burntorange heleniums and deep yellow rudbeckiaswill brighten up any border at this time of yearpartnered with impressive foliage plants such asthe smoke bush (Cotinus) and cordyline.

Dahlias, hollyhocks, Michaelmas daisies, nastur-tiums, day lilies and summer-flowering euphor-bias provide much-needed freshness. Manycombine well with perennial verbenas andgrasses.Try growing thistle-like Cynara (a group which

includes the cardoon and globe artichoke),which produces handsome foliage and dramaticpurple thistle flower heads at the back of aborder to add summer interest to shrubs, orallow them to grow through cottage gardenfavourites.

Plant sun-loving cone flowers (Echinacea), in

shades of pink and white.The daisy-like flowers and height (they can growto 120cm (4ft) tall) mean they work well towardsthe back of the border, they attract beesand butterflies and add impact alongside globethistle (Echinops) and monarda.You may have to go to a specialist grower to

find perennial sunflowers (Helianthus) but it willbe worth it for the zingy yellow blooms theyproduce in late summer.

Like their annual cousins, they like a warm,sunny spot, but perennial sunflowers aren’tfussy about soil provided they have gooddrainage.The flowers are more subtle than those of the

annuals and there are numerous varieties,ranging from H. salicifolius, a tall plant withsmall daisy-like blooms which last well intoautumn, to the golde yellow double variety‘Lodden Gold’.

Red Schizostylis coccinea ‘Major’, russet-coloured Helenium ‘Moerheim Beauty’, coolyellow Phygelius aequalis ‘Yellow Trumpet’, blueAgapanthus Headbourne Hybrids and brightblue Aster frikartii ‘Monch’ all provide late colour.

Dark-leaved caster oil plants and orange-flowered dahlias such as D.

‘David Howard’ provide striking colour,along with tall red hot pokers such asKniphofia rooperi and the deep red D.‘Altami Corsair’, all of which are attentiongrabbers.

Use drifts of perennial border phloxes inthe middle of borders to provide intensepools of summer colour. Herbaceouspotentillas or small asters can be planted infront to hide the bare phlox stems. Phloxesare ideal follow-on plants for poppies andshouldn’t need staking except i windygardens. Don’t let them dry out in summeras they need a mois soil.

If you want to add late summer-floweringplants to an existing border, buy as many ofthe same colour and variety as you canafford and repeat-plant them through the

border to unify it and develop a sense ofrhythm.

Such plants will need to have a distinct colourand reasonably long flowering season. Keep itsimple and remember that limiting the colourpalette can greatly increase the impact.

In general, when mixing colours, aim either forall pastel shades - pale pinks, blues, mauves,creams - or strong contrasting colours - reds,yellows, strong blues and purples. If you mixstrong colours with pastel ones, the brightcolours will swamp the more subtle ones.

THREE WAYS TO...Deter pests and diseases

1. Bury garlic cloves at the feet of rose bushesto keep blackspot away (garlic is an accumula-tor of sulphur, an effective antidote toblackspot).

2. Plant onions and carrots together as carrotand onion flies become confused by thisintercropping.

3. If you have mole hills in your lovely lawn,invest in some mothballs to stick down the

holes as moles can’t stand the smell.

BEST OF THE BUNCH - Agapanthus

I always seem to see agapanthus at their best inwarmer climes, but it is possible to have plentyof success with these glorious globes of blue orwhite flowers in this country, as they come intotheir own in late summer. Growing to around80cm (31in) tall, the flowers appear above afountain of strappy foliage in August and, whilethey’ve a reputation for being tender, somevarieties such as the Headbourne Hybridswhileand the deciduous A. campanulatus canwithstand frost.

In milder gardens they are long-lived perenni-als which require little maintenance, while incooler areas they will need a winter mulch ofbracken or can be grown in containers whichcan be moved under cover in winter.They should be grown in an open, sunny spot

in well-drained soil and make good plantpartners for perennials including phlox andhemerocallis.

If you’re growing them in pots, plant them oninto bigger containers each spring using loam-based compost and add some slow-releasefertiliser.

GOODENOUGH TOEAT -Blackberries (Rubus)

They’re so expensive in theshops yet so easy to growand go wonderfully withapples in pies and crumblesor in a combination of

summer fruit dishes or evenas a stand-alone fruit in

mousses.Unlike other fruits, blackberries

will do well in most areas and soilsand one plant should feed a family.

Grow bushes against a post-and-wirefence, training the stems out and

leaving a wide enough path for weeding andharvesting. Canes should be well mulched inspring with compost and then fed with blood,fish and bone in late April.

Fruits should be ready for pickingfrom July to September, butmake sure you protect theripening berries from birdsby covering the plantswithnetting.

As new stems grow,keep them tied to thevertical post andcompletelyseparate from the horizontal-ly trained stems whichproduced this year’s fruits.Then,when it comes to pruning, it’s clearwhat has to be cutback, which is the old stems which havecropped.Then lower the next batch intoposition and tie them in place.

Good varieties include ‘Black Butte’, whichproduces huge fruits of excellent quality, and‘Veronique’, a thornless, compact variety whichbears large fruits in late summer.

gardeningWHAT TO DO THIS WEEK

• Ensure birds and other wildlife have fresh waterand keep ponds topped up.

• Prune rambling roses after flowering.

• Collect ripening seeds from plants you want topropagate.

• Take cuttings from tender perennials such aspelargoniums and fuchsias.

• Lift and dry onions.

• Water and feed tomatoes at regular intervals, andremove yellowing leaves.

• Plant new strawberry plants, keeping themwell watered.

:• Sow parsley and pot up herbs forlater use.

• Continue to weed borders,watching out for any self-sownseedlings in the process.Theycan throw up all sorts of

variations in flower colour.

• Apply lawn feed using a fertiliserwith a high phosphate content to

promote root growth and toughen thegrass for the winter.

• Trim faded lavender spikes with hand shears, butavoid cutting into old wood or it won’t recover.

• Give hedges their final trim as they will not growtoo much after this.

• Cut back wayward perennials which havecollapsed or spread over the lawn.

We’re all still feelingthe pinch from the recentrecession and the peopleof Nottingham are certain-ly thinking long and hardabout whether to invest intheir gardens right now.However, a little of yourhard earned money can gofurther than you mightthink. So why not give itsome thought?

In these tough timeswe’ve all found ways ofsaving a few pennies.We’dall like to think we can turn our hand to anything. However, just like tiling thebathroom or fitting a kitchen, landscaping is only easy if you know how.That’swhy it’s important to get the professionals in. If you’re not sure what you’re doingit can not only be back breaking work, but also dangerous. Chain saws, cuttersand breakers are all hazardous tools. Also, if you don’t make a good job, you’ll bein false economy territory. All your hard work will be for nothing if it all needsdoing again!

So remember, in order to truly enjoy your garden, it may need a little fixingfirst.” For a true professional call David Richardson at The Outdoor Space Company www.theoutdoorspacecompany.co.ukTelephone: 0115 875 2850 or Mobile 07702 650297
