Royalty Revered Celebrating 150 years since the opening of the Royal Albert Hall. It’s somewhat unfair that a landmark anniversary of the Royal Albert Hall’s long legacy won’t be celebrated on the exact date. In fact, when David Arnold – he of Bond, Independence Day and Sherlock soundtrack fame – takes to the stage in mid-July, it will be over three months late, given the South Kensington venue first opened its doors on March 29th 1871. The spectacular dome, which measures 20,000ft, sits above an auditorium that boasts a capacity of 5,272 people and is, of course, named after Prince Albert, the husband of Victoria. When the Covid-delayed celebrations begin, the Royal Albert Hall, in 2021, benefits from incredible acoustics, stateof-the-art sound systems, impeccable lighting and firstclass stage technology, yet so many other parts of the original venue still remain untouched, and that’s what gives it its unique charm.

The venue was funded out of the proﬁts from London’s Great Exhibition. Now Grade I-listed, it cost £200,000 to construct and took four years to complete. The ﬁrst performance was by Charles Gounod on May 8th 1972, as his orchestra played Handel’s Messiah. In respect of that landmark event, Messiah has been played every Good Friday afternoon at the venue since. Electric lighting was introduced shortly after the hall opened, and over the years arts and science exhibitions have utilised the space, with more events actually held in the outer rooms – over 400 per year – than the main auditorium. Tradition has always been at the heart of things – there were Sunday concerts for six decades up to the end of the World War II, and the Proms has a permanent place in the hearts of traditional music devotees.

The hall was partially bombed by the Germans in 1942, while moves to cure the ‘Albert Hall echo’ were put in place in the 1960s, with acoustic diffusing discs being hung from the ceiling. A £40m refurbishment programme was undertaken in 1996 and these days the Royal Albert Hall continues to promote various education and outreach projects. It’s a charity in its own right, and even boasts a performance database that lists each of the artists who have appeared at an estimated 30,000 events since 1871. Attendees are treated to unobstructed viewing, some incredible VIP boxes, private rooms, and awe-inspiring auditorium, and a gallery around the perimeter that houses bar and restaurant space. What’s more, one special person, each night, will ﬁnd themselves with the unexpected privilege of sitting on seat 87, row 11, under the K stalls in the main auditorium. It is an unassuming seat, but one that rests on the foundation stone that was laid by Victoria way back in 1867.

QUIRKY

BY MICA BALE

Another month, another summer and halfway through 2021, could there be anywhere better to enjoy the season’s delights than in Dorset? From coastal paradises to an interesting connection to the French Royal Family, here is another handful of interesting and quirky facts from around Dorset to illustrate just how special our county is!

Dorset’s regal history is far from the county’s best kept secret however were you aware that surviving members of the French Royal Family were invited to Lulworth Castle during the carnage of the French Revolution. Among their number was the King of France, Charles X, to whom King George III was said to have gifted a large sum of money. Although their stay at Dorset’s grand castle was only for a brief time before the family PHOTO: NICK FEWINGS were to travel to Edinburgh, reportedly, upon catching sight of Lulworth Castle, King Charles X promptly burst into tears as its form reminded him of the French Bastille. Did you know that the rather romantically entitled Dancing Ledge, on the Isle of Purbeck, was once an important location for exporting Purbeck Stone? So called because at certain times the water’s edge covers the ledge giving it the appearance of dancing upon the water, Dancing Ledge was a popular location for many boats and ships. Interestingly one of its most renowned commissions was when Kent’s Ramsgate Harbour was under construction in the 18th and 19th centuries and this sturdy Dorset material, in hot demand, was taken directly from Dancing Ledge to Kent.

Today the word shrapnel is a common word in modern language however were you aware that shrapnel actually comes from a certain Colonel Henry Shrapnel who was a resident of the Manor House, Puncknowle for a period of time? The Colonel invented the weaponry as far back as 1784 and was recognised by the British Artillery several decades later in 1803, rising to commonplace usage in the first World War, causing countless injuries to soldiers. Home to some of the UK’s most expensive beach huts which are even more costly than three-bedroom houses, Hengistbury Head is one of Dorset’s prime locations for soaking up this coastal paradise. And no wonder! Just a stone’s throw away from Bournemouth and part of an area of Special Scientific Interest as well as a long list of other protective titles, this Dorset gem can also boast an extensive list of local flora and fauna with hundreds of varieties of plantlife and countless wildlife from rare insects like the thirteen-spotted ladybird to mammals and birds such as the purple heron!

Did you know that Dorset is home to one of the UK’s oldest breweries? Located in Bridport, Palmers Ale dates back to 1794 and has been brewing countless ales for thirsty Dorset locals for years. Remarkably, the brewery was purchased in the latter 19th century by two brothers by the name of Palmer and today their great grandsons today work at the brewers. As well as creating many ﬁne beverages from beer to whisky and gin to cider from local Dorset apples, the brewery’s history is itself a snapshot into the town’s heritage through the centuries and can be discovered in a tour hosted by Palmers.

Ramsay’s Revival Top chef Gordon Ramsay outlines the food trends we should look out for in 2021. It says a lot that in a Twitter post published on New Year’s Day, Gordon Ramsay decided to use the opportunity to tell the year 2020 to, well… let’s just say ‘not come back’. While the global Covid pandemic has turned a lot of us into accomplished, skilled, proﬁcient home cooks (in our own minds, at least, if not in reality), the effect it’s had on the chefs, staff and restaurateurs of the world’s best restaurants has been less positive. Most establishments have endured almost a year of closure – Ramsay’s portfolio of high-quality restaurants included. It’s a factor that has led to something of an accidental food revolution in our homes. “With every disaster there is an upside and a downside,” he says. “While a lot of industries have been torn apart by Covid, it has been the making of others – think about the way we buy stuff over the internet, and home delivery of goods. Think too about cleanliness and hygiene… things that have always been of interest to me as a chef – we’re now all obsessed with it.

“In the same way, the fact we’re not going to restaurants hasn’t meant we’ve stopped eating – instead, people are discovering and developing new ways to enjoy food at home. As someone passionate about food, I can only support that; even if it’s cost me millions!” he says, referencing

have really stepped up in terms of efficiencies, and it’s those changes that will serve them well in future,” he says. “We’ve all had time to sit back and redo the maths on what works for our businesses and what doesn’t, and that’s going to be of real value going forward.” As far as creativity goes, the 54-year-old remains as ebullient as ever. “I also see people becoming braver with their flavours,” he continues. “We’ve all felt hemmed in, repressed, even imprisoned in their lives at the moment. You will always get a dramatic reaction to that, and I think we’ll see that across a number of areas, food included. I’m expecting a real explosion of creativity, across the board. the huge losses suffered during the repeated lockdowns the UK has suffered. “It sounds ridiculous to say that, but producers, hosts, retailers and everyone else involved in getting food from field to plate

“I’ve also really enjoyed the extra time I’ve had to interact with lovers of food – it’s been a really unexpected thing that’s come out of Covid, and I think we’ll all be talking more and sharing more over the coming year, and beyond.”

Talking about Wildlife...

The Underwater World Whether you’re one minute away from the beach or one hour, for many of us, living so close to the sea is one of the best things about living in Dorset. Already this year, our marine conservation team have been finding exciting and unusual things washed up on our beaches at low tide. The ‘furrowed crab’ was a great find with it being the first recording of this species for Kimmeridge. This crab is also a ‘climate change indicator species’ as we’re seeing them spread further north, in line with our seas warming up. Other seashore species which have been spreading eastwards into Dorset include the ‘toothed topshells’. These sea snails are common further west but have grown from none at all in the early 2000s to being a common find at Kimmeridge. The small cushion starfish has also become common at Kimmeridge since the first sighting in 2014, and the exoticlooking anemone shrimp that lives within the stinging tentacles of the snakelocks anemone, has also increased in number in recent years. Cushoned Starfish Photo: Julie Hatcher

Furrowed Crab

Top three things to look for this summer on the coast: 1. Seahorses: There have been an unusual amount of seahorses washed up on beaches this year. This could be a good indicator that we have a healthy population in Dorset. Let us know if you find one! 2. Cushion starfish: In rockpools, the cushion star glides along on its myriad tiny tube-feet, as if sliding on ice. This small relative of star fish feeds by everting part of its stomach through its mouth to digest dead and decaying animals and seaweed. 3. Flat periwinkle: Look for the flat periwinkle in seaweedy pools. They range in colour from sunshine yellow, through burnt orange to chocolate brown and are easy to spot amongst the sea wrack fronds they graze on. The yellow shells are particularly easy to spot, looking like discarded sweetcorn kernels!

connect with you rather than just relying on the rather oneway process of old. When you think you have a course that suits, explore online the university itself, as well as the town or city it’s located in.

questions and see how suitable the course sounds. Stay calm When an offer comes along, don’t just accept the ﬁrst one, however tempting that is. Instead, survey options and make an informed choice. Of course, that’s easier said than done because many students are in the stressful throes of not knowing where they will be heading at the end of the summer, but remember, millions of students have been through the Clearing process and, at the end of their three years, will tell you they wouldn’t have wanted things any other way.

Early preparation If you feel you may be missing your grades, access the Clearing platform prior to results day, where some courses will already be showing. It’s also a good idea to dig out your personal statement, have a shortlist of locations you’d like to consider, and get your grades early on the big day so you can head back to start the search… should you need to. Starting your search Look on the UCAS website, check entry criteria and see if you meet them. A new feature that’s been brought in is Clearing Plus, which offers personalised matches through Track, and can enable you to express interest in a course. It is a way for universities to

Try to enjoy it Make no mistake, the process of clearing for students – and their parents – is a nervy exciting one. Just a few calls and a few emails will determine so much; so whether you are a student approaching D-Day, or a parent looking to support, embrace the process and be positive about this huge step.

Green Play Five ideas for engaging your kids in environmental activities. Recycle Start at home with the basics: labelling your bins and sorting through your refuse can actually become a fun game for children, as well as creating awareness around how much waste we use in the home. Then, once your youngsters have grasped the basic concept you can start tackling recycling on a bigger scale. Picking up litter on a dog walk for example, or even partaking on a community clean-up – an excellent way to meet other budding environmentalists. Reuse Naturally greenminded kids know better than anyone how useful discarded packaging can be: boxes become rocket ships, empty toilet rolls become pirate-seeking telescopes, and jars are transformed into dazzling tealight holders. Yet beyond play, we can also teach our children how to minimise waste by choosing the eco-friendly option. Some ecocleaning brands, for example, now offer a reusable option whereby you can reﬁll your bottles in-store. Grow What better way to learn about planet Earth than when exploring the great outdoors? For a child, there is very little in life more satisfying than digging

through dirt with a beloved parent by their side, a venture made even more rewarding when they eventually get to see the fruits of their labour. So if you have access to a garden, get planning, then get planting! From easy-to-plant ﬂower bulbs to vegetables

such as tomatoes and runner beans, there are many plants which offer a quick seed-tofruit yield – ideal for impatient children. Many local councils are now investing in community gardens too, where children can plant, play and learn about all the wormy, muddy joys of composting. Repurpose A fantastic way to combine environmental fun with

unbridled creativity is to upcycle with your child. Perhaps you’ve an old chest of drawers that needs a new lick of paint or a suitcase that’s begging to be transformed into a unique toybox. Perhaps you want to start smaller by turning a plastic bottle into a birdfeeder, or even a windchime made from used cans. And for those feeling really creative, why not venture into the world of upcycled clothing? Stained children’s dresses and t-shirts can be tie-dyed using vegetable dye, denim shirts that are too small can become bags or headscarves! Learn The best part about environmentalism is it’s a journey you and your child can take together. So organise a trip to your local city farm, buy some honey made from local bees, and take a bike ride to school rather than using the car. These are all small steps that will pave the way for the future of your child AND the planet.

Parkstone Army Cadet Force News Is your child on the phone too much? Would you rather them gain confidence, make friends and gain life skills through the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, first aid training, and BTEC qualifications? The Army Cadet Force is a national uniformed youth organisation for young people based upon military lines, it is sponsored by the MOD who provide uniforms, equipment and training facilities. It is important to note however there is no compulsion to commit to serving the armed forces, although some do choose this as a career path. The Cadets follow a progressive, structured syllabus designed to build confidence, resilience, leadership, and teamwork as well as practical skills such as first aid. The topics covered include; Drill and turnout, Shooting, Skill at Arms, First Aid, Navigation, Fieldcraft, Expedition Skills, Physical Training, Military Knowledge and Cadet in the Community. As the Cadets progress and gain experience, they may also have the chance to participate in activities such as the Ten Tors Challenge and educational trips to war memorials around the world. There is also a strong element of sports within the ACF with Cadets representing their Detachments, Companies and even their Country. In 2019 we had a Cadet from Parkstone win the gold medal in the National Championships for football where she competed against other Cadets from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Despite the suspension of training, we have been busy as ever with our Cadets while participating in a Guinness World Record attempt, VE day celebrations, learning British Sign Language, virtual sporting events, and charity events such as ‘Walking with the Wounded’ 36

Want to join us and be the best you? The ACF will provide you with a FREE uniform and there are NO weekly fees, you just need to be aged 12-17 years old!

The Adventures of Daichi

The Modern Magazines Camper Van Fish. Daichi loves to go fishing with Grandad… and Grandad loves to go fishing with the family. What better way to celebrate his 86th Birthday, than on the banks of an idyllic pond with all of us together in wonderful sunshine! So, that is just what we did in May. Todber Manor is where we all met. Beautiful lakes situated in East Dorset just ten minutes from the quaint town of Shaftesbury. Dad is in his element here. My sister moved into the cottage attached to a farm where her husband grew up, in Margaret Marsh, and this is even closer at just seven minutes away. The scenery around here is stunning. Miles of rolling countryside, wildlife and glorious green land with blue sky and feather-like white clouds. It was a real treat. To be honest, I have always enjoyed fishing with Dad. Many, many Sundays were spent on the banks of a local pond up North. I love the serenity, the birds singing, the picnic and the family togetherness that we have all missed so much recently. Here we were,

Grandad catches another one! 38

Daichi... and friends out in fresh air and in great company. The fish here are huge. Some fishermen stay in bivvies (tents) overnight to fish for the real big carp. Can you imagine sitting outside in all weathers holding your rod (now now…) waiting for that all-important bite and then using all your strength for possibly half an hour or so to land a 40 pound + carp? It is a complete buzz for these guys, a real excitement for those that ‘get the bug’. Better than being 24/7 on a computer I would say. Well, we were not quite up for that, though Daichi would have been very happy to put us up for the night! We must plan our next ‘staycation’ and get the awning out again. We have really missed that, and so has Daichi. The fishing at Todber Manor is excellent. With ten ponds in total I believe, there are lots to choose from. In addition to that there are holiday lets which were currently closed due to the situation, but I am sure they will open soon, if not already. It is a really great location for anyone who likes fishing or even if you

would like a break away. The well-stocked fishing tackle shop caters for all needs too. Now, every time we go fishing with Grandad, we (well actually Stephen, Hayden and Dad) catch many fish. It looks easy, yet I am not sure why, but any time we have tried this without Grandad we don’t catch anything… just a cold. Funny that, it must be the better weather on the days we go with Grandad… mmm not sure about that. Grandad has fished all his life and his expertise absolutely makes it look easy. He has a real knack for the game. This time I did some fishing myself and caught a rather nice Mirror Carp. I can fish, but leave it to the boys while my sister and Mum have a chat on the side-lines. Oh yes and take never ending photographs and videos! It is hard work when they are catching lots of fish I have to keep getting up from my comfy, relaxed seat with my all-important coffee in hand. Really! This trip we were lucky enough to spot an egret that gracefully flew in and sat patiently on a small island in the centre of the pond. Delightful to see… and another photo was needed… Up again… We have to laugh don’t we.

I got one too!

The family... and the cake! Now Birthdays have to have cake and food (any excuse) and today was no exception. There is the delicious “Lakeside Diner” right here at the ponds! Perfect. It is an outside eatery with seating and the food is good! Us girls had steak, Hayden had pulled pork, Stephen had a burger and dad had fish and chips (of course!). Susan had also brought a cake and Dad’s highlight, which he said he will never forget, was us all singing Happy Birthday to him with the candles aglow, the sun setting, surrounded by his favourite ponds here in the South. Very special. I am not sure the other fishermen thought the same and the birds may well have wondered what all that screeching was about, but hey hum, we had a fabulous time. So - many ‘caught fish’ later, well fed, hoarse from singing, and aching from all that getting up and down out of the chair, it was time to say goodbye. Daichi was delighted with the trip. He, and Grandad, grinned from headlight to headlight all the way home. Happy Birthday Dad. With more areas and activities opening up, and a sunny summer (we can but hope) to look forward to, I wonder where Daichi will take us next? By Debbie Corney

I got one too!

h lt a e H & wellbeing

luxurious blend of natural product and eﬃcacy. Healthwise we all have a ‘toxic body burden’ measurement... and most people are overloaded from using the 85000 chemicals in the beauty industry as a whole, which therefore impact our immune systems. And to underline this I’d just like to point out that 1 in 8 of those are either carcinogenic or hormone disrupters. So let’s let our immune systems combat the things we can’t change like virus and pollution.

MEET AMBER SIBLEY

Health & Beauty are inextricably linked for me; and Conscious Beauty, is a longstanding belief in a better way. I’ve been a Makeup Artist for 30 years and whilst I’m known for my prosthetics for film, with an Oscar nomination; I had to use a multitude of chemical nasties to do that. So ‘beauty-wise’ I’ve always been as natural as possible. You eat your lipstick right?... I used to painstakingly make my own palettes by squishing the ‘good’ ones into trays but the rest of the makeup was ineffective until I discovered Tropic. I found a beauty company I can believe in with 100% confidence so I became an Independent Ambassador for them.

Vegan, cruelty free, ethical, carbon neutral, biodegradable, reﬁllable and NO nasty chemicals; only a 44

At a deeper level, as a mother of two daughters, I’m passionate about empowering them to connect with their inner beauty instead of their outer image. - Sure I have taught them about makeup because a little outer conﬁdence goes a long way; but its the inner light that matters not the Insta fakery. ie the brightness of an aligned being naturally; not the caked, masked, dull, toxic and ﬁltered version of ‘beauty’. I lead by example with my Conscious Beauty workshops, online courses and photography and I really hope that during these strange times we will all see the value in a new, healthier, more beautiful way. www.ambersibley.com

You’re The Mechanic The top five car faults you can diagnose yourself. Here are five fixes that, by undertaking at home, can save you time, money and no small amount of stress: Error light on dashboard The thing with dashboard warning messages is they’re very often triggered by faulty sensors rather than something actually going wrong under the bonnet. Plugging your car into a diagnostics machine will often enable the garage to ‘clear the fault’ without anything mechanical happening at all… and you’ll pay up to £100 for the privilege. In this instance it’s recommended to buy your own scan tool or code reader. You can then do your own diagnostic sleuth-work by hunting out the specific error code, consulting the internet and fixing the problem. Oil warning light When an oil light shows, it’s the easiest fix going – simply open the bonnet, pull out the oil dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it, remove it again and check the level. If the oil level isn’t within the required marks or notches on the dipstick, a trip to your local

petrol station – possibly on foot! – will have the problem solved in no time. Blocked windscreen washer jet We know to pop to your local autocentre to replace a faulty wiper blade, but what about

spray is a great way of doing it – then simply reconnect, and you’re good to go once again. Bad bulbs A blown bulb, or one that blinks rapidly, will always need to be replaced. In most cars, you should be able to access the headlamp unit quite easily, with replacements purchased off the internet for a fraction of the cost you’d pay at the garage. In the case of a dim headlamp, the ﬁx can be as simple as corrosion building up on the ground connection. Again this is easy to access and clean, and will save you considerable time and expense.

when one of your washer jets stops squirting? While no amount of prodding the outlet with a knitting needle will help, this ﬁx is still easier than you think. Simply, open the bonnet and look to beneath where the washer jets will be housed. You should be able to spot the rubber tubes, which can be twisted off. Clean out the insides of the tube – using a compressed air

The WD-40 trick Finally, for all manner of external, bodywork and accessories faults, keep a can of WD-40 at hand. From key and key fob issues to slow-moving electric windows, from seats that won’t recline properly right through to cosmetic scratches and scrapes, a £5 investment in a can of WD-40 can save you thousands.

Calling a spade a spade Your ultimate guide to the tools your garden will thank you for digging out this summer. SPADE (AND SHOVEL) Tough, unrelenting, sharp at the base, angular and with ledges for your feet so you can push down deep into the soil, the spade is the ultimate garden tool. The shovel is, in many ways, the reﬁned cousin. More rounded, it comes in different materials and caters for a wider range of jobs (such as moving snow), given that digging deep into the earth is not the primary goal. FORK (AND TROWEL) These two work perfectly together in removing soil and plant matter from smaller areas, such as ﬂower beds and pots. HOE A simple metal plate at the end of a stick, the hoe is used to remove surface debris in small areas. It nudges just under the surface in scraping away leaves, small weeds and bits of dead plant matter, leaving your soil turned over and looking fresh. LAWN EDGER Perhaps the most satisfying garden tool of them all, the lawn edger drives down into

lawn edges that are suspended above then beds, leaving an impeccable line between the two.

without anything left behind. The extended handle limits bending down, too.

COBRAHEAD WEEDER The cobrahead weeder looks like a torture implement dating back to the medieval ages, yet its popularity is now only coming to the fore. It uses a cultivating blade at the end of a long, hooked handle, meaning it can plough furrows, remove weeds from underneath and even hack its way through thatch. CLAW WEEDER This weeder offers a pincertype movement at the end, meaning it grabs right at the base of the weed, yanking it out of the ground by the roots

RAKE From debris to leaves, removing fruit from beneath trees to perhaps just picking up weed seedlings so as to allow water to permeate back into the soil, the humble rake actually comes in many different forms and will serve you well all year round. PRUNER Modern pruners have become real technical works of art, with adjustable settings that will shape to the size of your hand. Look for a pair that have cushioned grips around the handle, to save on late-afternoon hand ache! PRUNING SAW The pruning saw does the same job as a pruner, albeit with a bit more strength and power. Capable of tackling branches without the need for a full-on saw, it’s a compact yet extremely powerful piece of kit.

Pet Sounds Dogs and cats? It’s all so 1990s. We’re in a new era of cool home companions, so grab that cockroach and come along for the ride. Sugar glider According to some, hamsters are so passé these days. Instead, people have switched their attentions to sugar gliders, for their incredible affection, curiosity and ability to win over everyone in the family, from adults and children to other pets.

This marsupial even has a cool name, a reference to their preference for sweet tastes (such as sap and nectar) and their ability to glide through the air. What’s not to like?! Hedgehog Having an outdoor pet such as a hedgehog is a great idea. You are keeping it in its natural habitat, and this marvellous, charming creature is friendly, inquisitive and often in need of protection, as his prickly exterior will tell you!

after. Self-exercising and impossibly cute, they are, however, extremely timeconsuming, needy, and can be very expensive to maintain. They also must live in the company of other goats, so if you’re hoping to get just one to smother in your love, think again!

Capybara The capybara is a much bigger, slightly uglier guinea pig, who is friendly, highly sociable, harmless and full of life. These animals do require a lot of space to move around in… oh, and a swimming pool (they can hold their breath for over ﬁve minutes underwater). Chinchilla Cute, clean, timid, small and completely odourless, the chinchilla takes a fair bit of maintenance, but is surely the most adorable of the rodent family… just don’t mention that fact to the capybara you have in the bathtub!

STAR GAZING

WRITTEN BY KATE EARL

kateearlastro@gmail.com Welcome to the June Stargazing Page. Highlights this month include the Summer Solstice, a partial Solar Eclipse and a chance to spot noctilucent clouds. International Space Station There are only two possible dates to spot the ISS in June; the first and last day of the month. Unfortunately, both of these are unfavourable passes where the ISS will be quite low. If you want to try and catch either of these sightings, please refer to www.heavens-above.com or a similar webpage for up-to-date information, remembering to set the location to your home town. July will be a much better time to spot the space station, with sightings possible most evenings. Events The Summer Solstice (from the Latin for ‘the sun stands still’) occurs on June 21st this year, and marks the day when summer officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky at noon. This means we experience the ‘longest’ day of the year (the day with the most hours of daylight, and least hours of darkness). Partial Solar Eclipse If the sky is clear, residents in southern England will be treated to a partial eclipse of the Sun on the morning of June 10th. The maximum takes place around 11.10am depending on your location, at which point the Moon will cover roughly 20% of the Sun. The actual path of totality is visible from Canada, the North Pole and Eastern Siberia. The eclipse begins at roughly 10am and continues to around 12.30pm. Various websites, including www.timeanddate.com can provide up-to-date information for your specific location. There are several ways to view the eclipse safely, including the use of designated eclipse safety glasses, or making your own pinhole projector camera from a couple of pieces of cardboard. There are many websites available that show you how to construct one safely.

Mars Mars is very dim compared to a few months ago, but can be seen to the left of Venus in the northwestern sky around 10pm. On the 13th June at 11pm the Moon lies very close, hovering just above the red planet. Jupiter and Saturn The two gas giants can be seen in the southeast from 1.30am through until dawn. They are joined by the Moon on the 1st and 2nd June, and again between the 27th – 29th. Moon This month’s Full Moon on June 24th is traditionally known as the Strawberry Moon. Named by Native American tribes, it is associated with the time of year when strawberries ripen and are ready to pick. In Europe and other countries, June’s full moon is known by many names, including the Rose Moon, Mead Moon and Hot Moon. Object of the Month The summer months are the best time to try and spot a rare and beautiful cloud-type: noctilucent clouds (from the Latin for ‘night shining’). If conditions are favourable, these blue-white illuminated clouds are visible thirty minutes after sunset for a couple of hours in our northern skies. Although the exact cause of their formation is unknown, we know they are composed of tiny water ice crystals and form about 80km up in the atmosphere.

Creamy Courgette Sausage Penne Introduction

Simple and ﬂavoursome with a generous serving of veg, this is one of those weeknight meals ideal for when you want to feel satisﬁed but also a little virtuous.

Ingredients (serves four) • 6 Cumberland sausages • 400g penne pasta • 3 cloves of garlic (crushed or diced) • 1 red onion (peeled and sliced) • 1 large courgette (grated) • 250ml crème fraiche • 1 tbsp dried chilli ﬂakes • 60g grated parmesan or other hard Italian cheese • Handful of chopped fresh parsley

Method 1. While waiting for a large pot of water to boil, prepare the sausages by squeezing the meat gently from their casings - discard the skin. Heat a widebased pan with a tablespoon of oil and at a medium to hot heat add the sausage meat and cook until browned (6-7 minutes) breaking the meat up with a wooden spoon as you go. Remove and set aside the cooked sausage meat. 2. Put the pasta in the boiling water. Next, lower the heat to medium on your nowempty frying pan before gently sautéing the garlic and chilli ﬂakes - add more oil if necessary. After one minute, add the red onion and grated courgette, frying till softened.

3. Return your sausage meat to the pan with your onion and courgette, along with the crème fraiche and two thirds of the grated cheese. Next add your drained pasta along with a splash of the pasta water and simmer for two minutes until everything is combined and your sauce becomes silky and rich. Serve your pasta in bowls and garnish with your remaining cheese and the chopped parsley.

Top Tips • For perfect pasta always use a generous-sized pot, salt your water (it should almost be as salty as seawater) and avoid overcooking – al dente is the authentic Italian way! • Pasta is endlessly versatile, so feel free to riff on the ingredients to suit your taste… swap cream cheese for crème fraiche, red onion for white onion and courgette for any vegetable you fancy, from

chopped kale to tenderstem broccoli, or even Borlotti beans. • For the ultimate weeknight ease, stock up your pantry and freezer with a few handy cheats: garlic puree is the perfect way to get ﬂavour over fuss; frozen peas are delicious when added to this kind of pasta and an abundant spice rack is invaluable when it comes to last-minute ﬂavouring.
