Benvenuta Primavera!<\/h3>\n

An Italian Vegetable Garden!<\/h3>\n

www.Cooking-Vacations.com<\/p>\n

L’orto. That’s the Italian word for vegetable garden. And although Italians grow fruits and vegetables throughout the year, their philosophy is seasonal. In Italy, there are no books, per se, for planting, you just ask Aldo, the neighborhood farmer, or Giuseppina, the little Italian lady who lives next door; they know how to sprout, plant, turn over and grow perfect plants in little straight lines – 12 months a year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I learned everything about planting from my Italian grandparents, Nonno Costanzo (my father’s grandfather) and Nonno Pasquale (my mom’s grandfather). When Costanzo arrived in America just after the turn-of-the-century, he transported his farming and cheese making skills with him. He planted apple orchards and grew Italian tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant and pumpkins; he raised goats and cows and produced marzolina cheese (made from the goat’s milk from March when they grazed on the green spring pastures) and creamy fresh milk.<\/p>\n

My Nonno Pasquale also had a giant orto, where he was known to grow his tomato plants in perfect straight lines. Both my grandfathers planted by the moon and always in the seasons; they could graft trees, getting them to grow both plums and peaches or lemons and grapefruits from the same tree. In winter, they’d preserve fruit jams of all kinds, and vegetables under oil. They kept root cellars and stocked fruits and vegetables that supplied the entire family through the whole winter.<\/p>\n

So, looking ahead to March, whether you have lots of garden space and plan to plant a dream garden or live in the city and have just a small flower box – plant your basil, parsley and cherry tomato plants because a little bit of green will transform an ordinary recipe into a delicious one.<\/p>\n

7 Tips For Surviving Driving Holidays With Kids
\nBy Jaclyn Bold
\nBold Trailer And Caravan Repair Centre
\nwww.boldtcrc.com.au<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Driving holidays can mean long car trips with the kids and minimising the \u201care we there yet\u201d chorus makes the trip more enjoyable for everyone. The key to successfully travelling with kids is being prepared and making frequent stops. Happy and quiet kids keep parents stress levels under control and also makes the drive safer.<\/p>\n

Here are 7 tips to keep the back-seat drivers happy.<\/p>\n

1. Before you leave make a bar chart from journey\u2019s start to finish. Put significant towns on the chart and let the kids colour in the bar as the towns are passed. When asked the inevitable question, refer to the chart and ask the questioner the same thing.<\/p>\n

2. Portable DVD players with headphones are great for the kids to watch their favourite movie for the 100th time and mum and dad don\u2019t have to hear it.<\/p>\n

3. Books and book lights for the night driving. Reading helps the kids settle down after dinner and the driver can travel uninterrupted for a good couple of hours or more.<\/p>\n

4. Start your trip at 4am to avoid heavy traffic. Stopping for breakfast then becomes a treat.<\/p>\n

5. Don\u2019t forget the classics: colouring books, card games, sing-a-longs, eye spy, car cricket.<\/p>\n

6. Number Plate Games \u2013 Make a silly sentence using the letters on the number plate to start each word.<\/p>\n

7. Take plenty of homemade sandwiches, water and snacks.<\/p>\n

A little planning goes a long way for car trips. Make sure the driver stops every 2 hours and where possible share the driving. A safe trip is a good trip and enjoy taking the kids along for the ride. Many memories are made on long car trips with kids.<\/p>\n

Farm to transform for fairy tale walk in search of the Easter Bunny<\/h3>\n

\"\"
\nThousands of chocolate treats, new lambs and a fairy tale woodland walk can only mean one thing as the Easter Bunny arrives at a Staffordshire farm for the area\u2019s unique Spring time family event.
\nGet transported to a fairy tale woodland at the National Forest Adventure Farm, in Tatenhill, as you go off in search of the Easter bunny\u2019s woodland retreat.
\nThe Staffordshire Farm, which sees thousands of families flock to the site each year for its one of a kind Easter themed event, will be opening its doors on Monday 26th March for two weeks of Easter fun.
\nAllowing visitors a rare glimpse of the farm\u2019s 67 acre woodland, which isn\u2019t accessible any other time of the year, the Easter Eggstravaganza event has seen visitor numbers increase year on year.
\nThe Easter Eggspress tractor ride carries families up to the woodland where visitors collect wildlife stamps and are entertained by animal characters including a bee complete with giant beehive. The event, which sees more than 17,000 visitors each year, is rapidly becoming a firm favourite with families looking for something different to do at Easter.
\nThe farm also has 170 ewes due to give birth over the Easter period with visitors invited to meet the and feed the new arrivals in the Lambing Live Tent, where if you are lucky you may even get chance to see a spring lamb being born.
\n\u201cEaster really is a special time of year for the farm,\u201d said Ivor Robinson, one of two brothers who run the National Forest Adventure Farm, in Tatenhill, Staffordshire.
\n\u201cIt is great to be able to share the experience with so many of our families. Where else can children see lambs being born, feed baby lambs and take a trip to meet the Easter Bunny for some chocolate treats?
\n\u201cIt really is becoming a popular time of year and we are excited to share our beautiful woodland once more as part of the Easter Eggstravaganza.\u201d
\nThe Farm\u2019s woodland area was created in 2002 as part of its commitment to the National Forest and saw 28,000 trees planted on the site.
\nEach year it is opened up at Easter to allow guests the chance to wander the woodland trail in search of the Easter Bunny\u2019s home nestled within the forest.
\nThe Easter Eggstravaganza opens on Monday 26th March and runs every day until Wednesday 11th
\nTickets are available on the day or save 10% by booking in advance online at www.adventurefarm.co.uk.<\/p>\n

Perfect for the ultimate Easter brunch or afternoon tea, Linwoods has partnered with Hazel Wallace, to create the Flaxseed and Mixed Spice Scones.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The recipe uses Linwoods milled flaxseed, which contains Omega 3 oil, an essential fatty acid that is hugely beneficial to our health, helping maintain normal blood cholesterol levels. So, these scones are also nutritious and packed full of goodness.<\/p>\n

Flaxseed and Mixed Spice Scones<\/p>\n

Prep time: 10 minutes<\/p>\n

Cook time: 20 minutes<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/p>\n

100g wholemeal spelt flour*<\/p>\n

120g white spelt flour*<\/p>\n

1 tbsp milled flaxseed<\/p>\n

40g light brown sugar<\/p>\n

Zest of one orange<\/p>\n

1 tsp ground mixed spice<\/p>\n

1 tsp baking powder<\/p>\n

1 tsp bicarbonate of soda<\/p>\n

Pinch of fine sea salt<\/p>\n

70g butter or coconut oil, chilled, plus more to serve<\/p>\n

130g of dried fruits (raisins, mixed peel and apricots)<\/p>\n

60ml milk, dairy or plant-based<\/p>\n

1 egg, beaten<\/p>\n

Chia jam, to serve<\/p>\n

*Can sub for wheat or gluten-free flour instead to make up 220g in total.<\/p>\n

Method<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0c and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
\nIn a bowl, combine the flours, flaxseed, sugar, mixed spice, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Cut the chilled butter into pieces and rub into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
\nAdd in the dried fruit and orange zest, then stir. Put in the milk and combine together with a spoon, then use your hands to gently bring it all together into a ball of dough. Add a sprinkle of flour if it feels too sticky.
\nDust your surface with spelt flour and roll or pat the dough out to a thickness of about 3cm. Use a 5cm clean edged cutter to cut out the scones.
\nPlace the scones on the lined baking tray and brush with a little beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are risen and golden.
\nServe with jam and butter. Once cool, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave just before serving.<\/p>\n

Based on top of a rotating base, with five large spines protruding from his back, the aim is to throw one of 12 plastic rings onto his spikes.

\nA modern take on the classic game of hopscotch, the Jump \u2018N Fit is an electronic mat where play coincides with the activation of lights and sounds. It features two game modes; hopscotch or fitness. For classic hopscotch mode, toss the coin to jump into the game and enjoy a timeless classic. If you want the latter, throw the dice and depending on which side it lands, do a certain task, which aids your little one in enhancing their motor ability. Whichever mode you opt for, both are guaranteed to keep them entertained for hours until they can jump no more!<\/p>\n

Jungle Rugby RRP \u00a329.99
\nChicco\u2019s Fit \u2018n Fun combines motor development and new skills with social play allowing children to not only improve balance and coordination, but also enhance their self-esteem and self-confidence too. New to the Fit \u2018n Fun range is the Jungle Rugby; a 3-in-1 toy which encourages motor and socialising skills through three different play modes. The rugby match format, training mode session and stacker toy function work together to create a fun filled toy that any budding rugby fans will love.<\/p>\n

Goal League RRP \u00a319.99<\/p>\n

The Goal League is an electronic net offering fun and challenging play for children from 2 years+. Complete with flashing lights, 25 different melodies and interactive sounds and a soft play ball, Goal League is the perfect product for any future football stars.<\/p>\n

It offers three different modes of play keeping your toddler entertained for hours. First is the \u2018Penalty Shots\u2019 mode, where your child can challenge themselves to score as many goals as they can by shooting at the net. For every goal scored, your child will be celebrated with cheering crowd noises. Next we have the \u2018Golden Goal\u2019 mode, where it is a race against the clock to score that all-important killer goal. Lastly we have \u2018Challenge\u2019 mode, which allows your child to battle it out with a friend to see who can be the first to score five goals and take home the footballing crown. The net also comes complete with a handy slider at the top to keep track of the scores.<\/p>\n

Goal League works to improve their accuracy and coordination by encouraging them to shoot at a target. This stimulates and enhances two key skills that are used widely in many popular sports. In addition the net has five different modes of difficulty, meaning it remains fun and challenging for your child as they develop and improve.<\/p>\n

The best gift is the opportunity to speed up its adaptation to UK. This is why we, Immigrant School, prepared the “Work in UK” course.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It enhances the working life of any immigrant, by teaching it about working rights, how to enforce them, how to apply for NINO, how to open a bank account and, most important, its perfect way to find a job. The best part are the free quizzes. With them, you can have a better understanding of your situation in UK, your rights and what is waiting for you in the course. Every lesson is interactive and presents a single topic plus at least a way in which the employer might try to fool the immigrant. Even better, the course is online so can be accessed from anywhere in UK. Disclaimer: it is written according to the England law. You can take a look on the course here. https:\/\/www.immigrantschool.co.uk\/work-in-uk\/<\/p>\n

Work in UK – Immigrant School
\nWhen you purchase \u201c Work in UK \u201d you will receive a walk-through approach that helps you recognize when your rig…<\/p>\n

Why good gift for Easter?<\/p>\n

Easter is a high risk for an immigrant to be cheated. For example, the employer might say that the immigrant is not entitled to this bank holiday because has a different religion or doesn’t celebrate Easter at all. Or might be late with the wages, because on Easter the banks were closed. It’s important for the people who recently moved in UK to know how the British system works.<\/p>\n

Who are we?<\/p>\n

Immigrant School aims to help every single immigrant to adapt in UK. In order to achieve this aim, we offer online courses and interpretation services. Also, we offer a free CV template. It is pre-written till the smallest detail. In this way, the person who completes the template doesn’t have the chance to make grammar errors or to disclose any protected characteristic. We recently entered the market, so the products range is limited. Yet, we will have available all the courses listed here and at least 2 more languages for interpretation, this year. You can keep an eye on us here ( http:\/\/www.immigrantschool.co.uk ) The founder is Andreea Iovita, an immigrant who would pay with a leg and an arm for some courses that help her adapt in UK. In the back, she has a team of people with much more experience in the relevant areas. Find more in the About section<\/p>\n
