A
ccess4lofts is all about lofts. That’s what they do and with customer service at the heart of the company, they have proven to be one of the great success stories of the region. Quality of service means that, for example, they never subcontract. It also means that the company is fully insured and offers a minimum five year guarantee on all work undertaken. All very important measures to ensure that you, the customer, get the very best installation, service and after care at all times. If you are thinking of opening an otherwise unused space in your home, Access4lofts will have a solution available for you and your budget. Access4lofts was started in 2012 and right from the start the company was fully committed to their customer service. This undertaking has meant that Access4Lofts has received over 1,500 five star customer reviews from past customers. The company is a member of the Lancashire Trading Standards Safe Trader Scheme and has been the recipient of their customer service award for six years running. “We are absolutely over the moon to receive the award for the 6th year in recognition of outstanding customer 2
service. We pride ourselves on providing an excellent service and to receive the award in consecutive years shows our customers value what we do” says Josh Norgate who owns Access4Lofts Blackpool. In short, Access4lofts cares about what they do. No high pressure selling, never letting anyone down, working within customer’s budgets, always turning up on time, finishing a job in the shortest time possible and clearing up afterwards are basic undertakings for the team. If you have a loft and space is getting a little tight at time, Access4lofts might just have the answer for you. Contact them for a chat, you will be surprised at what they can do for you!

The Big Butterfly Count
T
he public is being asked to take 15 minutes to participate in the count, which runs from July 20 to August 11 (prime time for butterfly activity), to help identify trends in species that will aid us in planning how to protect butterflies from extinction, as well as understanding the effect of climate change on wildlife. Butterflies react very quickly to change in their environment which makes them excellent biodiversity indicators. Butterfly declines are an early warning for other wildlife losses. Almost three-quarters of UK butterfly species have decreased in population during the last decade, while the number of UK’s larger moths has crashed in the past 40 years, according to a recent reports by a group of leading conservation organisations. The Big Butterfly Count takes place from July 20th to August 11th. For details go to www. bigbutterflycount.org. 34
The Butterfly Conservation offers the following tips to attract butterflies to your garden: • Choose sunny, sheltered spots when planting nectar plants, because butterflies like warmth.
• Select different plants to attract a wider variety of species.
• Prolong flowering by deadheading regularly, mulching with organic compost and watering well.
• Don’t use insecticides and pesticides which kill butterflies and many pollinating insects.
• Grow plants which will attract butterflies including
buddleia, Verbena bonariensis, lavender, perennial wallflower, marjoram, phlox, nasturtium, escallonia, cone flower, aster, sweet rocket, lobelia and herbs including chives, thyme and mint.

Best of bunch Astrantia

and T. x citriodorus, which has lemon-scented leaves and a slightly milder flavour. To harvest, snip young shoots from the tips of the stems.
These daintylooking perennials, with basal clumps of divided foliage topped with small flowers, often whitish-green or bluish-pink, grow to 60cm (24in), an ideal height for the middle of a border. They’re extremely easy to grow in any soil in either sun or partial shade. Astrantias have soft, subtle colours which fit into most colour schemes. A. major ‘Sunningdale Variegated’ contrasts well with the purple foliage of Viola labradorica in spring, while its white flowers make a cool companion against sizzling red crocosmias. Other good varieties include A. major involucrata ‘Shaggy’, which has white flowers with a collar of long petals, A. major ‘Rubra’ with plum-coloured flowers and A. major ‘Claret’, one of the darkest-flowered astrantias, with deep, ruby red pincushion-like flowers with a ruff of longer bracts than many other varieties. Although it is an old cottage-garden favourite, this astrantia works equally well in contemporary-style plantings. Add plenty of organic matter to the soil before planting and don’t let them dry out.

conditions, as this will encourage premature growth.
2. Don’t buy soft bulbs or those with long shoots already growing.
3. To assess the quality of pre-packed bulbs, have a good feel of the contents through the bag and put it back on the shelf if any feel soft and squishy.
What to do this month • Pinch out the tips of dahlias to promote bushy plants. • Protect soft fruit from birds by throwing nets over the bushes or building a fruit cage.
• Plant out hardened-off tender and half-hardy fuchsias into beds, borders and containers.
• Take cuttings of carnations, fuchsias, herbs and many shrubs and perennials to root in the greenhouse.
• Remove rhododendron flowers which have passed over so that energy is not wasted in the production of seed.
• Continue to make sowings of fast-growing annuals
If you love colour but aren’t very good with maintenance, a pot of fragrant thyme may be the way to go, providing you with leaves for the kitchen and pretty flowers for the garden. Some are not really culinary plants but are grown for their flowers, so make sure you pick up the right type if you want to use it for cooking. Thyme needs to be planted in a sunny spot in poor, well-drained soil or in a terracotta pot filled with John Innes No 1 potting compost mixed with 50% potting grit to make a welldrained mix. The best time to plant is early summer, after the last frosts, spacing busy, upright types 23cm (9in) from their neighbours and spreading varieties 30cm (12in) apart. Water them in and water again in dry spells until the plants become established, after which time you won’t need to water them much at all, and don’t feed them. Good culinary thymes include T. vulgaris, which has strongly flavoured, short leaves and deep mauve-pink flowers in June and July,

Three ways to ... buy healthy bulbs 1. Avoid outlets where bulbs are kept in warm
which can be planted out as needed.
• Continue to draw earth around potatoes planted during March and April.
• Start harvesting gooseberries for an early pie. • Introduce new fish into the pond. • Remove blanket weed and duckweed to prevent them clogging up water features.
• Mow the lawn and trim edges regularly. • Peg down strawberry runners to make new plants. • Plant out tender vegetables such as tomatoes and runner beans to get good crops.
• Plant winter brassicas and protect them from pests. • Continue to cut down the faded foliage of bulbs.

Support for Brian House Children’s Hospice
Alanna Smith, 19 months, meets an owl from Littledovetails and Owls.
F
rom cricketers to cricket eaters, Brian House Children’s Hospice has had some very special visitors as children and staff celebrated Children’s Hospice Week back in May. The national celebration of children’s hospices around the country kicked off in Bispham with style as staff dressed in panto costumes, donated by Blackpoolbased ‘UK Productions’, in an effort to make as many memories as possible for the children and their families. The week was launched with a visit of two well-known friends of the hospice – Lancashire County cricketer Steven Croft and figure skater Dan Whiston, fresh from ITV’s ‘Dancing on Ice’ tour. Children were also treated to a display of small animals and artefacts from Blackpool Zoo, including a Tenrec, a Cockroach and a Snake. Steven, who is supporting Brian House as he celebrates his testimonial year, said ‘It was great to see the children exploring the different animals and items from Blackpool Zoo, and I really enjoyed being part of the experience to make memories for these children. I’m amazed at what goes on at Brian House. It’s not a place of sadness at all, as you might expect, but a place where children can really have fun and do things they would never be able to do otherwise. I have a huge amount of respect and admiration for everyone who makes Brian House what it is.’ Dan, who has long been a supporter of Brian House, said he was impressed at how fearless the children were when it came to touching the animals. He said ‘It’s always an absolute delight to come to Brian House and just be a part of the day. I’ve come to learn that a normal day at Brian House is an extraordinary
Steven Croft and Dan Whiston meet children at Brian House Children’s Hospice
day anywhere else, and it’s a total pleasure to have been able to visit for Children’s Hospice Week. I am honoured to be able to support this fantastic and vital facility.’ Throughout the week the children also enjoyed an owl display thanks to ‘Littledovetails and Owls’, and a visit by Sea Life Blackpool. Brian House Clinical Manager Carol Wylde said ‘It has been a wonderful week here at Brian House as we have celebrated Children’s Hospice Week 2018. The week was all about making lasting memories, and I think we’ve done just that. From seeing all our staff dressed as pantomime characters – when some of our children may never get to experience pantomime – to touching exotic creatures even adults would never be able to do. It was lovely to be able to welcome back Steven and Dan, and see them get involved in the activities with the children. I hope we’ve been able to make some memories for them too.’ To find out more about Brian House Children’s Hospice and how you can help them visit hwww. trinityhospice.co.uk/brian-house

Walking on the beaches
I
n 2018, there should be nothing holding visitors and residents back from ‘getting their feet wet’ on our beaches. Beach and water quality in the region has improved tremendously over the last thirty years resulting in all thirty bathing water locations in the North-West passing the EU water quality standards for the past two years. There are four classifications of bathing water quality; Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. This year in the North West there are 11 ‘excellent’ rated beaches and bathing waters including Blackpool South. This summer eleven beaches across the North West of England will be flying flags that tell the public they are among the best beaches in the country. Ten beaches were awarded the Seaside Award - Keep Britain Tidy’s own award for beaches that meet the very highest standards for cleanliness and facilities. The UK’s bathing water season which runs from May until the 30th September every year; is the period when the Environment Agency monitors the water quality every week. Signs are displayed at each designated bathing water area highlighting the current classification as well as other useful information. The current classifications and results of the samples taken throughout the bathing season are also available on the LOVEmyBEACH website alongside a list of beach facilities and tide times. Throughout summer the ‘LOVEmyBEACH’ campaign is calling for residents to try something new and visit one of the beautiful beaches along the North-West coast. A trip to the seaside is a value for money day out that can span the generations, here are some suggestions on how to get your feet wet: 1. FLY A KITE at St Anne’s 2. BUILD A SANCASTLE at Blackpool 3. TAKE PHOTOS on the dunes between St Annes and Blackpool 4. WALK THE DOG at one of twenty five beaches in the region with minimal dog restrictions As a way to inspire others to make use of the coast, LOVEmyBEACH is encouraging everyone to share photos of them at the beach using the hashtag #getyourfeetwet. Improvements in water quality across the region are a result of the Turning Tides partnership; a selection of organisations including local authorities, the Environment Agency, United Utilities and Natural England, who came together in 2012 with an ambition to reduce pollution in the regions rivers, lakes and seas. Through effective co-ordination of improvement works including £1 billion of investment by United
Utilities, £7 million investment through Catchment Sensitive Farming to reduce dirty water running off farmland and the development of the LOVEmyBEACH campaign, the partnership has been cited by Defra as a model of good practice. Neil Jack, Chair of the Turning Tides partnership and Chief Executive at Blackpool Council said: ‘Our bathing waters are so much cleaner today than they were twenty, ten or even only five years ago. That improvement is down to significant investment and partnership work from the Turning Tides partners and having a clear vision that clean bathing waters contribute to creating family friendly seaside resorts and boosting the North West economy as a whole. Our beaches are being cleaned regularly by hundreds of staff and volunteers throughout the summer and are being sampled regularly by the Environment Agency to check they are safe to swim in. We have some of the best, award-winning, coastlines in Europe but if we are to continue to keep them that way then we need the public’s help. Simple actions like putting your litter in the bin, picking up after your dog and not feeding the birds can help make sure that our beaches continue to stay fantastic.’ When you visit the beach please make sure you follow these simple steps to help the LOVEmyBEACH campaign and improve our beaches for generations to come: 1. Always put rubbish in a bin - if you can’t find one or it’s full, simply take it home. 2. Understand dog restrictions on beaches – dog restrictions are in place in seven beaches across the North West however there are miles of coast where dogs can be walked. Whichever beach you’re on though, always, pick up your dog poo; the tide doesn’t wash away the problem. 3. Think about how you can help from home - flushing wet wipes down the toilet or pouring used kitchen fat down the sink increases the risk of sewage leaking into rivers and the sea.

Caring for your pet
H
oliday time is upon us, and some lucky pets may be joining us on our summer getaways. With this in mind, it’s important to take precautions before you go away. It is a legal requirement for dogs to be microchipped. PDSA also recommend cats are microchipped as it’s the most reliable way of identifying them, and improves the chances of them being returned if lost. PDSA Vet Olivia Anderson-Nathan said: “One of the most heartbreaking scenarios is when an injured animal is brought to us but isn’t microchipped, or the details on the chip aren’t up to date. You know the pet has a loving owner who will be desperate to know where they are, but there’s no way to let them know what has happened. These pets can end up in rescue centres if their owners are never found, which if they have strayed long distances may never happen. A simple microchip avoids all this.” To help pet owners, Olivia has provided some top ‘need-to-knows’ when it comes to microchipping:
• While cats don’t require ID, it’s the
law for dogs to wear a collar with ID tag when outside the home. Legally, the collar or tag needs to show the owner’s name and address but including a phone number can be helpful so you can be contacted easily if someone finds your pet.
• A single microchip will last for your
pet’s lifetime. The chip can sometimes move around a little, which is why vets will scan over a pet’s whole body when checking for one. If the owner moves or a pet is rehomed they don’t need a new chip as the owner can just
Microchipping pets update their details with the microchip database – but it’s very important to remember to do this!
• Getting a microchip
shouldn’t be too sore – they are smaller than a grain of rice. It’s similar to getting any other injection like a vaccination and many pets don’t even notice it happening. It goes under the skin between their shoulder blades. They’re made of non-reactive material so shouldn’t cause any reaction or pain once inserted.
• If your pet is found as a
stray and brought to a vet or rescue centre, they will scan for the chip number then get in touch with the microchip company for the owner’s details so they can
contact you. This is why it’s really important to make sure your details are always kept up-to-date in the database.
• Microchipping costs can vary,
but many councils, charities and veterinary clinics offer discounted or even free microchipping schemes. It’s worth researching what’s on offer in your area to get the best option for you and your pet.
• Microchipped pets stand a much
better chance of being reunited with their owners should they ever go missing. For more information visit www.pdsa.org.uk/microchip

LINK-Mag Recipe Prep time: 25 minutes Cook time: 45 minutes
You’ll need: Crunchy Topping 75g caster sugar 75g plain flour 60g unsalted butter Choux Pastry 60g unsalted butter 1 tsp caster sugar 1/4 tsp salt 60ml whole milk 60ml water 40g plain flour 45g strong white bread flour 2-3 large eggs, beaten Filling 400g strawberries 2 sprigs of lemon thyme 2 tbsp. caster sugar 600ml double cream 1 tsp vanilla extract What to do: To make the crunchy topping for the eclairs mix together the sugar and the flour, add the butter and rub together until it starts to form a dough. Use your hand to press together into a uniform dough. Place between two sheets of parchment and roll out until it is about 2mm thick. Place onto a baking tray and freeze until needed. To make the choux pastry place the butter, sugar, salt, milk and water into a medium sized saucepan and bring to a rolling boil. Once at temperature pour in both of the flours and immediately mix together with a wooden spoon, until it forms into a ball of dough and there is a dry 58
Strawberry and Lemon Thyme Eclairs Filled with Vanilla Chantilly with Thyme and fresh strawberries layer on the base of the pan. Tip the pastry into a large bowl and set aside for 5 minutes. Add the eggs a little at a time beating until combined before adding more. Add enough egg until the pastry is thick, glossy and has reached dropping consistency. Place the pastry into a piping bag fitted with a plain round piping tip (roughly 1cm wide). Line two baking trays with parchment paper and draw ten 12cm lines onto the back of the parchment, 6 per sheet. Pipe the choux pastry into eclairs, using the lines as guides. Remove the crunchy topping from the freezer and cut into strips 12cmx1.5cm and place one of top of each eclair (this gives the eclairs a crunchy topping but also helps give a uniform shape, making them look more professional). Bake in the oven at 180c (160c fan) for about 30-35 minutes or until the choux is golden brown. Set aside until cooled. To make the filling hull 300g of the strawberries and cut into small dice.
Mix together with 1 tbsp. of the sugar and the thyme. Set aside for an hour or so to macerate. Place the cream, vanilla and remaining sugar into a large bowl and whisk until the mixture holds soft peaks Cut the eclairs through the middle and fill the base of each eclair with the strawberries (leaving the juice in the bowl). Place the cream into a piping bag and pipe the cream on top of the strawberries. Hull the remaining strawberries and cut into quarters, pressing into the sides of the cream as decoration. Top with the eclair lids and dust with a little icing sugar. Once filled the eclairs are best served within a couple hours of assembling but the baked eclairs can be prepared a day ahead. Tip: To get perfect eclairs you need to pipe the eclairs very neatly. Any imperfections in the piping can show up in the baked eclairs. Photo credit: berryworld.com
