Lets Talk about WhiskyAs I write this, they promise that summer may finally be onthe way so here’s a few ideas for whiskies you might enjoysipping on those hot evenings that lie ahead…

Both Ken and I are big fans of grain whiskies. Too oftentreated as the poor relations of the whisky world and usedsimply as a constituent of a blend, these whiskies,particularly the older ones, can be absolutely delightful.Grain whisky is produced from any grain other than maltedbarley and the good ones tend to be light and elegant withvanilla overtones that some compare to ice cream – perfectfor summer. Whiskies to look for include Compass BoxHedonism, Cambus, Caledonian, Girvan, North British andPort Dundas.

Whisky makes a great base for all sorts of mixology wizardryand for a celebratory summer occasion why not try a whiskyand champagne cocktail? Place a sugar cube in the bottomof the glass, pour a few drops of Angostura bitters on, add ameasure of Chivas Regal 12 year old and top up with PerrierJouet champagne. Or for an oriental twist here’s a recipefrom Suntory brand ambassador and top mixologist ZoranPeric. Take one drop of chocolate bitters, 20ml sweetvermouth and 40ml Yamazaki 12 year old. Stir well over ice(30 to 40 seconds) and strain in to a martini glass, finish withcherry and orange zest. Beats Pimms any day!

Finally, for an instant pick me up after long hot day just fill aHighball glass with some ice, add a measure of Compass BoxGreat King Street whisky and top up with soda water to taste.Then as the good folk at Compass Box say – share and enjoy!

| The Advertiser | page 7 |Talk to the VetWe love our pets. They are wonderful playmates, trusted companions and fill our lives with joy and warmth. Many of

them join our families when they're quite young and end up growing up with us. However, years after being with us,we still tend to look at them as the eternal puppy or kitten. But this is not so. Animals age just as we humans do. With

age their life style and food requirements change, and the susceptibility to disease increases dramatically. It is important thatwe, as their carers, are aware of this and treat them accordingly.So, when does an animal become “elderly”? This very much depends on the species and the breed. In dogs, smaller breedsgenerally live longer than large breeds. The average life span for a Chihuahua would be up to 15 years, that of an IrishWolfhound only 7. Cats become “senior citizens” after the age of 7 or 8 - their average life span being 12-16 years - with somemaking it over 20! A rabbits' average life expectancy is set around 10 years, smaller mammals such as guinea pigs 6 to 8 andhamsters only up to the age of 2 years old.If we look carefully at our pets, we will be able to pick up subtle signs of aging: they become grey around the muzzle, slowdown a bit and spend more time sleeping - something we all will do when we're older! You also might find that they're a bitstiff when getting up, eat with less enthusiasm, lose weight or start drinking more than before. This could mean that they areill and need help. Taking your pet to the vet regularly – at least once a year – will help to pick up these issues early therebyensuring that help will be given sooner rather than later.Common diseases that become more of a risk at an older age are:Arthritis – just like humans, pets can become arthritic with age. It means that they will be less mobile and moving particularjoints can actually be very painful.Heart Disease – the blood supply to the body isn't as good. Animals start slowing down.Kidney Failure – a problem that commonly develops in older cats, but also not uncommon in dogs. Suspicious signs areincreased thirst, weight loss and dull coatDental Disease – pets don't brush their teeth twice daily, so we have to help them to keep their teeth clean.Cancer – growths are more likely to occur at an older age and early detection and treatment is crucial to prevent seriousill-health.Food requirements also change after a certain age. Dogs’ and cats' nutrition should be changed after the age of 7. At this age,their bodies benefit from a reduced amount of protein and fat as well as from increased amounts of certain minerals and fibre.Only good quality professional pet foods will help to achieve this.As their body changes with age, dogs' exercise levels will have to be adjusted accordingly. One can't expect them to alwaysfetch the ball any more!Regular check-ups will make sure that your pet will be able to live its whole life span happily- and healthily. Problems can bedetected and discussed at an early stage. You can then do something to ensure that they don't develop into something lifethreatening thereby ensuring that you can enjoy more of those days with Rover, Tabby and Bugs.

The same feel runs throughout, oldand modern combined, a lovely relaxed feel to the place.Starters of - Seared Hand Dived Scallops with blackpudding and quails eggs - Local Asparagus with poachedegg, parmesan and hollandaise. Each dish looked andtasted beautiful, service between courses is excellent,the staff very friendly and professional.Main courses of- Baked Loin of Cod, with buttered beans,chorizo and spring onions – Roast Rack of Lamb withbraised red cabbage, fondant potatoes and rosemary jus.Both dishes were exceptional; the attention to detail onpresentation is top quality.It was hard to choose from the dessert menu as they alllooked good; in the end we opted for Vasparettoespresso coffee with vanilla ice-cream over amaretto.Oh yes’ we will definitely be going back for some more ofthis, yummy!!The evening was a total joy, fantastic food, superb service,all set in wonderful surroundings.To think that this little gem is right on our doorstepFaultless!The Plough Hotel and Restaurant have some great offerson at the moment.Lazy Sundays’ and Essential Fridays’ are great value formoney deals, both designed to pamper and spoil and putsome relaxation back into our lives.Lazy Sundays -Free accommodation - minimum spend of£75.00 per couple on food and drinkEssential Fridays – Free accommodation - minimumspend of £90.00 per couple on food and drink.These offers can also be purchased as a gift.

Birdie Tales£195.00

It’s difficult to imagine that the Collared Dove, one of ourmost common garden birds, has only been resident inBritain since the mid 1950’s. Previous to that theCollared Dove was mostly found in warmer parts ofSouthern Europe and Asia. During the 1930’s the birdsstarted to spread across Europe at high speed, onepossible explanation could be related to warmer winters,though this is hard to justify as they also moved intoScandinavia and Northern Russia.Also known as the “Marmite bird”, their familiarrepetitive cooing may seem pleasant to some, butmonotonous and irritating to others. (Why am Ireminded of David Cameron?)Their markings are very distinctive, especially theblack/dark grey collar around the nape of their neck.Brown/pale grey feathers cover the majority of theirbody and head, with black tips to their wings.Their eyes appear black; they are actually red with alarge black pupil.Large increases in numbers over the past sixty years(estimated at over 300,000 pairs) are explained by theirlong breeding season, from late February through toOctober, rapid breeding cycle, normally clutches of 2eggs hatch in 14 days, fledging the nest 15-18 days later.(3 x per year)The nest is an incredible platform of wobbly twigs,mainly in trees, but occasionally in odd locations inbuildings. The male collects the twigs, passing them tothe female to construct the nest; both share theincubating duties, the male during the day – female bynight.Their silhouette can sometimes be mistaken for aSparrowhawk by smaller birds as they fly to the groundat speed. Some bird lovers find them too aggressive,chasing other birds away from the bird-table whenforaging for grain or seed.While not everyone welcomes the Collared Dove intotheir garden, you have to respect this remarkablecolonist. Some may even come to appreciate itsundoubted beauty if they look a little harder.

| The Advertiser | page 15 |Health TipsExercises that you can do at home to burn fat.

Last month we looked at foods that are good and foods that arebad if you are looking to lose weight. What about exercise? Whatare the best exercises for weight loss?

· It is important to know that it is better not to eatsomething bad than to try to ‘exercise it off’ – YOUCANNOT OUT TRAIN A BAD DIET. Think before you eatthose cakes and biscuits. To burn off the energy in a smallpack of digestives you will need to walk upstairscontinuously for at least 1 HOUR .

· We know from our extensive practical experience that amix of resistance training (with weights) and highintensity cardiovascular exercise is the best way to trainfor weight loss.

· Movement involving more than one muscle group at atime burns off more energy – for example squatting upand down whilst doing some bicep curls with handweights.

· Cardiovascular training such as running, cycling andswimming is always seen to be a good way to lose weight.The trouble for most people is that they do not, or areunable, to do these exercise at a high enough intensity toget great results. Plodding away on a treadmill for hoursis not making the best use of your valuable time.

· Intensity is the key. Working with proper technique tosuit your ability, using exercises that push you past yourcomfort zone takes you to a place where results happen.

· Combining good quality exercise and nutrition will helpyou achieve your goals much more quickly than justexercise on its own.

· EASY TO DO AT HOME: If you are new to exercise try stepups on the bottom step of the stairs, hold some weights(plastic squash bottles filled with water) to intensify theworkout. Increase the weight as you improve.

· EASY TO DO AT HOME: Squat up and down or lunge asyou clean your teeth in the morning and at night.

· Exercising at home can be difficult for some of us tocreate the right intensity and exercise with correcttechnique to get the most from the workout withoutinjury. Choosing the most appropriate exercise for you isextremely important.

prevent weight loss.

A Snapshot of Sémillon!One of the great things about wine is the

rediscovery of different varietal's.

My latest being the white grape variety, sémillon.Often blended with other grapes, in particular sauvignonblanc, sémillon can be quite bland if over cropped. Theyields of Semillon must be kept low if the aim is to achievequality. It has an amazing affinity to oak, especially newoak, which imparts aromas and flavours (depending onwhat type of oak is used) such as vanilla and almonds.The most interesting characteristic of Semillon is found inits role of producing a range of wine; from the greatsweet wines of Sauternes to the rich aged wines of the

Hunter Valley, Australia.The sweet wines are producedfrom the effects of Noble rot,also known as the fungusBotrytis Cinerea. This fungusinfects the berry at fruit set as itripens, where the climaticconditions are humid in the

mornings and evenings with dry sunny days. It acts on thegrape berry, metabolising the acids (which can be harsh)and sugars, producing glycerol, which gives the wine thesilkiness on the palate. The result is a rather nasty lookingshrivelled up bunch of grapes! However, the resultantwine provides a lusciously sweet, yet not cloying winewith remarkable length and a long list of aromas andflavours such as marmalade, honey, dried apricots,marzipan and many more!A well made example of a dry white Semillon fromAustralia can be described as herbaceous on the nose,with lemon and spice underpinned with vanilla andalmonds. The length should be long and finish fresh, withbalanced acidity.

Cloud Computing and Cloud Services bring new ways ofthinking about computing architecture and deliverymodels. With Cloud, everything becomes a service thatcompanies can use to create new initiatives without amassive up front investment. Cloud Computing offersnew unique business benefits and will help change theway businesses collaborate, operate, and compete.How does it all work?You can think of Cloud as a way to access new kinds oftechnology-enabled services. Organisations today havechoices in how they source and implement businessservices. They can access them in-house, have themhosted, outsource them entirely, or acquire themthrough the Cloud. At the end of the day, mostorganisations will have a hybrid environment comprisingservices from multiple sources.What does this mean to you and your business?Companies are already beginning to find some importantnew sources of value in Cloud Services. The Cloud caneliminate many of the complex constraints inherent intraditional architectures and service delivery models, andcan lead to cost and efficiency savings. But perhaps themost interesting dynamic in how Cloud Services likesocial networks and collaboration tools are changing theway people in businesses access and share information.What is the benefit to your organisation?As companies address the potential requirement forCloud services, it’s immediately apparent that thenumerous benefits remove companies concerns forworking from the Cloud. Flexible Working being one asCloud enables you to work remotely from any location asif you were sat at your desk in the office, with access toyour entire IT infrastructure anywhere in the world. It’sScalable, so now offices can grow with no restrictionsplaced upon them. This enables organisations to opensmaller offices in any locations as long as they have aninternet connection, still giving them access to all of theirimportant company data. Cost Savings in numerous ways,no longer are servers required on site, which means lesspower consumption, and more importantly a greenerway of working into the future (reduces carbonfootprint).ConclusionThere is a Cloud solution out there for all businesses, it’sjust a matter of what model will benefit your business themost, Public Cloud, Private Cloud or Hybrid Cloud.

Ensure you aren't caught out when driving in FranceRecent statistics show that each year three million Britain's drive their car abroad and even morecommercial vehicle drivers; with the majority travelling through France. However it would seem thatmany are unaware of the new law recently imposed by the French government which could see manydrivers presented with an unexpected fine.

On 1st July new legislation brought in by the French government requires all motorists to carry abreathalyser kit in their vehicle and, if caught without one, will face an immediate fine of €11 (£9.00).Single-use breathalyser kits are available from as little as £2 and should be available from ferry port shopsand other high-street retailers. it would be sensible to carry at least two single-use kits so if one isrequired a spare is still available!

The French drink driving limit is 50mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood, lower than the UK limit of 80mg.Motorists that are found with between 50mg and 80mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood could be fined €135(£109) and face six points on their driving licence; above 80mg could lead to a fine of €4,500 (£3,629), lossof licence and a prison sentence of up to two years.

Doubts have been cast on the accuracy of breathalyser kits and the general rule must be “If you drink,don’t drive!”

People driving in France are already required to carry a warning triangle and a fluorescent safety vest inthe main section of their vehicle. In addition they must display a GB plate and have their headlightsadjusted to the right. Satellite navigation systems that detect speed cameras are also banned and evenif not in use, could lead to a fine of €1,500 (£1,209).
