Westminster Park is ready for
the big Christmas switch-on!
Excitement is rising in Westminster Park as local residents
prepare for an evening of festive fun on Thursday 5th
December when their Christmas Lights will be switched on
by the Lord Mayor of Chester.
This pre-Christmas treat will include singing by Belgrave
Primary School choir, seasonal refreshments supplied by
Westminster Park Residents’ Association and local shops,
festive music and a visit from you-know-who!
Starting at 4.45pm with the arrival of the Lord Mayor
of Chester, Councillor Cllr Mark Williams, this local event
is a family friendly celebration of the start of the festive
season. At 5pm the Lord Mayor will count down to the Christmas lights switch-on and then
Belgrave Primary School choir will entertain the crowd with a selection of Christmas songs. To
complete the exciting evening, Santa will be putting in an appearance to reward youngsters with
satsumas and sweets.
Local councillors Neil Sullivan and Razia Daniels have provided help from their Members’ Budget
to purchase a Christmas tree, and the funds have helped the local community to buy some new
lights for the permanent trees by the Westminster Park shops car park.

Handbridge to gets
its own voice?
PLANS are at an advanced stage for the creation of
the Handbridge Neighbourhood Forum.
The idea of the forum is to promote or improve the
social, economic and environmental well-being of
the Handbridge Neighbourhood Area.
Local people will be able to get involved more
closely with issues that directly affect the
area, giving an input into new schemes and
developments in Handbridge and Queen’s Park.
It is being formed by Cheshire Community Action,
a group who have set up similar forums across the
county.
Depending on the make-up of the forum, it
will have a say in design requirements for new
buildings, designating green space and protecting
community and heritage assets.
It won’t have powers around highways, litter, bus timetables and speeding, among other issues.
Volunteers are being sought to serve on the forum. For more information contact Cheshire

The Holly and the Ivy
The holly and the ivy,
when they are both full grown,
GARDEN VIEW
of all the trees that are in the wood
the holly bears the crown.
There’s no doubt that holly and ivy are synonymous with
Christmas.
This dates back to pre-Christian era when pagans used evergreen
decorations in their mid-winter celebrations. It’s not hard to see why they
were attracted to these beautiful plants which offer a promise of better times
to come during the most barren time of the year.
Early Christians adopted them too and imbued holly particularly with
Christian symbolism. In the carol, ivy isn’t actually mentioned again until
the last verse which is a repeat of the first. It has a cameo role because of
earlier songs, such as ‘The Contest of The Ivy and The Holly,’ in which the
attributes of holly (male) and ivy (female) are compared. Our ancestors
lived close to the earth and the seasons and were open to symbolism. As
modern gardeners we might be sceptical of the symbolism, but we can
embrace the glory of these seasonal plants.
Ivy (Hedera) comes in many sizes, from the tiny-leaved ‘Spetchley’ to
the hand-sized leaves of ‘Maple Leaf’. It also comes in a beautiful variety
of colours from the rich green, crimped leaves of ‘Parsley crested’ which
makes great ground cover, to the gorgeous red-stemmed yellow leaves of the
climber ‘Sunrise’.
For winter baskets I’d recommend the lime-green ‘Ursula’ and her grey-leaved
friend ‘Frederick’.
Ivy is a doddle to grow. There are only a few things to remember. Cut it back in
spring to encourage new growth and take cuttings between October and March
when the growth is woody. Yellow varieties need sunshine and don’t let any of it
grow into your eaves. Other than that, it is your undemanding gardening friend.
Holly (Ilex) is pretty easy-going too. It will grow almost anywhere except really
water-logged soil. It’s tolerant of pollution, salt and wind and grows really
slowly, so it’s great for small gardens in the city and by the sea.
Protect it from rabbits if they frequent your garden as they love to eat the bark.
Trim it in August if you have to and remove plain green shoots on variegated
varieties. Take cuttings in the late summer or autumn. It does resent root
disturbance once it’s established so make sure you plant it in the right place first
time.
Hollies are male or female but not necessarily named to help you distinguish.
‘Silver Queen’ is actually male and ‘Martin’ is female! You’ll need both for berries
so talk to an expert at the nursery or garden centre to be sure…or google the
answer on your phone! If you only have room for one holly bush, grow a self-
fertile variety such as ‘J C Van Tol’.

Merry Christmas and Happy Gardening!

Our NEW luxury
wax gives super
smooth results in
super fast time
At Hough Green Clinic we offer a luxury wax
blend with a specially developed technique to
give you super soft, hair free skin in super fast
time.
We offer this next generation treatment in intimate
waxing for women as you have never experienced before.
This superior wax is long lasting and unbelievably
comfortable.
The best news is that our unique waxing system is
designed, developed and manufactured in Great Britain!!
The advantages are numerous as the wax has a very low
melting point, a very rapid drying time and the ability
to set very quickly allowing the therapist to work very
quickly and efficiently.
Waxing treatments have moved on from hair removal
close to the knicker line to a full Hollywood or Brazilian.
Bikini line
Around the edge of the pant line at the sides, top inner
part of the thighs and top of pant line.
Brazilian
All hair removed except for an inch or so wide “landing
strip” in the centre.
Triangle or Martini
Similar to a Brazilian, but leaving a neat triangle in the
centre similar in shape to a martini glass.
Hollywood
Removal of all hair from the intimate area.
Although we do not offer intimate waxing for men we do
wax men’s chests, backs, shoulders, arms and legs.
22 To advertise call 350398 www.overleighroundabout.co.uk
For women we wax all other areas of the body such as
legs, arms, toes, underarms, stomach and face.
Regular waxing can leave your skin hair free for up
to 6 weeks. Everyone has a different hair growth rate.
However, over time with regular waxing hair density
starts to decrease, grows back softer, finer, sparser and
slower, so that the bonus is the waxing gets easier, more
comfortable and quicker over time.
We charge £36 for our Hollywood and Brazilian waxing
and £17 for a basic bikini wax.
Lynn is our experienced waxer. She has over 20 years
experience in the field. She is also a fully qualified Beauty
Therapist teacher.
For your convenience we have now gone digital so that
you can make all your appointments online!
Www.houghgreenclinic.co.uk
Our price list of all our treatments is there for you
to peruse. You can still ring us or make face to face
appointments if that is your preference or you want to
discuss anything with either Lynn, Sam or myself.
CHRISTMAS GIFT VOUCHERS
We offer gift vouchers for all our treatments. They

 Chester’s industrial past
The launch took place of the book ‘Chester at Work’ at the
appropriate setting of Telford’s Warehouse last month. The book
details and portrays (in 158 pictures) how today in Chester service
industries such as tourism, retail, public administration and
financial services predominate.
This was not always the case, given the city’s location on the River
Dee and its strategic military position. Chester was a port with
ancillary industries from Roman times. In the mid 18th century the
port declined due to silting of the Dee and the rise of Liverpool.
However, some port-related industries remained and a reduced
amount of shipping continued into the twentieth century. The
1770s saw the
opening of the
Chester Canal and, in
1799, the lead works was developed.
Stewart Shuttleworth, who lives in Marlston Avenue,
traces the changes in the city’s working life from
its pre-industrial beginnings, through the Industrial
Revolution and right up to the present day. This book
will be of interest to those who know the city and
want to discover more about its rich heritage from an
industrial and social perspective.

The Introvert’s Guide to
the Office Christmas Party
Office Christmas parties are queer affairs where we drink and socialise with folk we might
not choose to drink and socialise with on any other night of the year. At best they offer a
bit of cringeworthy fun, at worst they strike fear into our hearts. Introverts in particular
struggle with enforced bonhomie at large events.
For those of us who aren’t social butterflies, what are our
options? Do we have to endure the occasion, or might it be
possible to enjoy it?
Dutch courage may seem like the only way to get
through the evening but tanking up on alcohol will
almost certainly make things worse. Although it’s
a party in name, remember this is a work-related
event so limit your alcohol intake to ensure you
remain in control of your faculties, especially if
under the influence you feel you might be tempted
to give vent to your feelings of frustration at being
passed over for promotion! A good rule of thumb
is no more than two alcoholic drinks at any work
function...even a festive one.
It is estimated that at least 25% of the population
are introverts so at least a quarter of your co-workers
probably feel like you do about the party. Look for
people standing on the edge, fidgeting with their
glass and looking awkward. These are your people so
take a deep breath and strike up a conversation with
them. Concentrate on effective eye contact when you
introduce yourself. Get into the habit of noticing the
other person’s eye colour. Don’t worry about remembering
it or commenting on it, just notice it. This helps to create an
instant non-verbal connection and build rapport. It makes you
seem confident, trustworthy and likeable.
Have a few safe conversation topics in your armoury: good
ones are the weather, movies, restaurants, books (you
can either find common ground or ask for and offer
recommendations), and light news topics (steer clear
of Brexit though, and anything to do with the election).
Also avoid work talk, that’s not the point of the event.
If you’re stuck in a conversation with someone you
find offensive, dull or with whom you have nothing in
common it can be hard to keep a conversation going. A
polite ‘So nice to chat with you, catch you later...’ should be
an adequate sign-off as you make your leave. The point of a party
is to mingle so this won’t seem unfriendly.
Remember - even if you would rather undergo root canal surgery
than attend the office party it’s worth showing your face. Go along,
have a drink and a mince pie then make a polite-but-early exit if you
really can’t cope. People won’t generally mind or even remember that
you left early but they might question why you didn’t show up at all.

It really IS rocket science
Over 300 Year 5 children from ten primary schools across Chester visited Queen’s Park High’s
curriculum day where the theme was ‘Exploring our World’. They looked a space travel and how
rockets use energy to escape the earth. This involved using an antacid tablet to set off a small
canister rocket and then a rocket using a bottle and a hosepipe. There was also mask making,
life on the open seas and the issue of fairtrade and capitalism.
