Look After Your Lawn Mow lawns when necessary - whenever the grass is growing - the aim is to maintain a constant height throughout the year.

Add the clippings to the compost heap in thin layers (beware: too much grass all at once is likely to be very wet and poorly aerated, resulting in smelly slime rather than compost).

Use a half-moon edging iron or spade to create a 7.5cm (3in) ‘gutter’ around the lawn edge. This will prevent grass creeping from the lawn into borders.

Sowing new lawns or over-seeding dead patches can be carried out from mid-April to early May. If the soil is very wet or cold germination will be poor, so delay until the weather improves.

Prepare the ground for sowing, by cultivating, levelling and lightly firming beforehand.

Its advisable not to walk over or mow newly sown grass until it has reached a height of 5-7.5cm (2-3in), and then only give it a light trim at the highest setting.

Good idea to apply a high nitrogen spring lawn fertiliser at the beginning of the month to encourage good, strong growth. If moss is a problem look for a a combined fertiliser and mosskiller.

April is the best month to apply lawn weedkiller. Always follow instructions on the packaging very carefully as lawn chemicals (including fertilisers, weedkillers and mosskillers) can cause pollution of groundwater if used incorrectly.

Lightly rake lawns with a spring-tine rake to remove old plant debris. This can also be done to rake out dead moss a couple of weeks after applying a chemical moss killer.

Repair bumps and hollows by peeling back the turf, removing or adding soil, and then replacing the turf.

Top 10 jobs this month

SPRING GARDENING

1. Keep weeds under control 2. Protect your fruit blossom from late frosts 3. Tie in climbing plants and rambling roses 4. Sow hardy annuals and herb seeds 5. Start to feed citrus plants 6. Increase the water given to houseplants 7. Feed hungry shrubs and roses 8. Sow new lawns or repair bare patches 9. Prune fig trees 10. Divide bamboos and waterlilies

Good Tip: If the weather warms up and hosepipe ban is looking likely, consider keeping your lawn a little longer than usual, and even investing in a mulching mower.

Mulching mowers mainly shred the grass clippings very finely and then blow them into the lower layers of the turf, where they act like mulch to help the lawn retain it’s moisture, the clippings are fine, so the end result is not unsightly, especially later on in the season when the lawn gets very dry, so the mulch helps to keep it green rather than brown.

Garlic roast lamb with hotpot potatoes Method

Expecting family round for Easter?

A leg of lamb stretches to feed a crowd of up to eight, especially when combined with sliced potatoes and carrots in gravy Prep: 25 mins Cook: 2 hrs, 15 mins plus resting Skill level: Easy Serves 8 Ingredients 1.8kg part-boned leg of lamb 5 garlic cloves, sliced a few rosemary sprigs a few thyme sprigs, plus a few extra to serve 50g butter 2 large onions, thinly sliced 400g pack diced mutton or lamb shoulder, finely choppped 2kg large potatoes, such as King Edwards, thinly sliced 300g carrots, sliced at an angle 3 tbsp plain flour 700ml lamb or beef stock, plus 450ml (optional) 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce steamed green beans and wilted spinach with nutmeg (optional), to serve

28

Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.

1.Cut small pockets into the skin and flesh of the lamb by piercing it with the point of a sharp knife.

Stuff each pocket with a slice of garlic, using 3-4 of the cloves, and a few leaves of rosemary. Stuff some more inside the lamb, with some thyme, where the bone has come from. Put in a roasting tin, season well and cover with foil.

2.Melt half the butter in a large frying pan.

Fry the onions, stirring frequently, until softened and golden. Tip into a second large roasting tin.

Cook the chopped mutton or lamb in the pan until brown. Add to the onions in the tin, and toss with the potatoes, carrots, remaining garlic and herbs (chopped), 2 tbsp of the flour and some seasoning.

3.Pour the stock into the frying pan, then add the Worcestershire sauce and the remaining butter. When melted and boiling, pour over the potatoes, cover with foil and bake with the lamb for 1 hr.

4. Uncover both the lamb and the hotpot, and cook for 45 mins more until the potatoes are golden and cooked all the way through. Allow the lamb to rest for 15 mins before carving. Leave the potatoes in the oven (covered if starting to brown too much) until ready to serve.

5.Drain the fat from the lamb’s roasting tin, reserving the juices. Put the tin on the heat and stir in the remaining flour. Pour in 450ml boiling water or stock and stir until thickened to a gravy.

Cut the hotpot into 8 and lift onto warmed plates.

Carve the lamb into thick slices and place on top, then spoon round a little gravy. Serve with the green beans and spinach – add a little grated nutmeg to the spinach, if you like.

Most people usually require the services of a legal professional at some point in their lives., sale of a house, divorce etc., but how many stop and think about using the services of a professional for drawing up Wills, or preparing a Lasting Power of Attorney or taking advice on matters such as care fees and elderly client issues?. It is reassuring to know that this can be taken care of at a local business in Stapleford.

Fiona Frankland Legal Services is in the heart of Stapleford and is a niche legal practice specialising in Wills , Estate Administration, Powers of Attorney , & Trusts Inheritance Tax Planning. Fiona Frankland has over twenty five years’ experience in working in these areas. Fiona is a full member of the Society of Trusts and Estate Practitioners a worldwide professional body for estate law and a member of the Institute of Legal Executive whose members are independently regulated by the Institute’s Professional Standards Committee. She has worked in Stapleford for over nine years and was at Chambers and Hind before opening up her own legal company 1. Wills they offer a face to face service in their office or at your home or at a hospital on request. They also offer a 24 hour emergency service should you need to have a Will urgently. They can also offer affordable advice on Inheritance Tax, Trusts for minor’s and Disabled beneficiaries. Also on offer is free storage of Wills and Deeds in their strong room. making a Will means that you can ensure that your wishes are carried out and you can leave your assets after you die to the person or people you want to most. If you are married and have small children, you may wish to appoint Guardians in the event of you and your partner dying. Equally if you are unmarried and live with your partner it is particularly important, as the law does not recognise partners who live together as having the same rights as a spouse.

2. Probate Service When somebody dies, their estate has to be dealt with. A person’s estate can be made up of money, property and possessions, stocks and shares and possessions.

The person may also have debts which need to be settled and the funeral arrangements made. There are two methods of dealing with an estate.

1) If the person has left a will and it is proved to be valid then this is known as Probate and the person named in the Will needs to deal with the estate will be called an Executor and, assuming that the assets of the person who has died exceeds the specified amount then the assets cannot be sold or encashed or distributed until his or her Will has been proved at the probate registry, this is called ‘Obtaining a Grant of Probate’.

2) If there is no Will, then a Grant of Letters of Administration will be granted and the person will be known as an Administrator.

Nobody looks forward to having to administer an estate of a loved one or friend.

This can be a very stressful and confusing time for the relatives left behind. You can initially call FF Legal Services to get advice on whether you need a probate or what to do next.

Care and Support at Home – Signs of Alzheimer’s I started writing this article last week as a short update on the changes to be introduced as part of the new Care Act (2014) on the 1st of April 2015. However, given 2 major items of news during the past week regarding Alzheimer’s I decided to change the content and concentrate on that.

The first bit of news was about the unfortunate death of Sir Terry Pritchett. I remember reading The Colour of Magic for the first time (of many) during the late 80s and then in subsequent years when my daughters were growing up.

I always admired his ability to mix fiction with fantasy and humour and felt he fully deserved his knighthood in 2009.

Sir Terry was initially misdiagnosed in 2007 with having had a mini stroke which had affected the right side of his brain. During December of the same year he revealed that he had been newly diagnosed with a rare form of early onset Alzheimer’s. Since that time he became a patron of the Alzheimer’s Society and worked hard to give the disease the prominence it deserves. Apart from donating half a million pounds to the Alzheimer’s Research Trust he participated in countless fund raising activities and programmes to highlight the devastating nature of the disease.

The second bit of news was based on statistics related to the use of memory clinics.

The front page of The Times read; “Dementia Clinics are swamped by worried well” in a reference to the fact that people visiting specialists for tests have quadrupled over the past four years. According to experts, people who are simply absent-minded are attending clinics after forgetting where they have put their keys.

As part of the Alzheimer’s workshops I run I normally use the example of misplaced keys to illustrate the difference between typical age-related changes and those that come about due to Alzheimer’s. If you forget where you left your car keys there is nothing to worry about, it happens to most of us and is a typical age related (memory) change. If however, you forget where you parked your car (not where about in a car park but which car park, then there might be reason for concern. With this article I have included a short document entitled “10 Signs of Alzheimer’s” which we also use as background information at our workshops. It is of course not meant to replace a diagnosis or be used as a test. It is simply a way of illustrating some of the differences between age related changes and those which are typical of Alzheimer’s.

Book Review by Clare Lyons The Last Bride in Ballymuir by Dorien Kelly In an effort to make sure this review covers a wide range of genres and authors there has had to be a certain amount of ‘challenging’ reading - things that I wouldn’t normally pick up. The world of romantic novels is certainly in this arena, however I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Kelly’s writing. The story is not a shocker – there’s a misunderstood hero, a naïve but feisty heroine and some ‘baggage’ for them both to deal with. The story is well paced and the supplementary characters are easy to imagine and empathise with, the story has a nice blend of humour and drama and was entertaining to read.

The book was a finalist in the Romance Writers of America Awards.

Kelly has since gone on to write more in the Ballymuir Series, with The Boldest Man and The Brightest Flame if you’d like to continue the story and follow the lives of Jenna or Vi (I predict romance for them both…).

Children’s Choice The Midnight Library by Kazuno Kohara What a treat! It’s a wonderful thing when you find a book that matches a conversation or discussion that you’ve just had… and so we came across this lovely story of a library that opens at night for all the nocturnal animals. It’s a real delight to read with very stylised and attractive illustrations. The animals are assisted by a little librarian and her three owls, they can read you the book if you’re scared of the ending and there is even a room upstairs you can meet in for band practice.

The idea of going to places after they’ve shut is a common talking point for children and this is a great way to imagine a night time version of something they may be very familiar with. www.letyourselfgrow.org 38

Whats on Recent finds of late Medieval Amulets - Lakeside Arts The mass destruction during the Reformation and later of devotional items made from precious metals, means that the material evidence for medieval piety in the British Isles is scant. Accidental losses found through the agency of metal detectors have brought to light some of the most intimate survivals of religious practice in the form of amuletic pendants and jewellery reliquaries. This talk will share a number of recent finds with the audience and reflect on their significance. James Robinson is Keeper of Art and Design at the National Museum of Scotland and previously curated the Treasures of Heaven: Saints, Relics and Devotion in Medieval Europe exhibition at the British Museum.

Grapevine Tips To remove the salt deposits that form on clay pots, combine equal parts white vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water in a spray bottle. Apply the mixture to the pot and scrub with a plastic brush. Let the pot dry before you plant anything in it.

To prevent accumulating dirt under your fingernails while you work in the garden, draw your fingernails across a bar of soap and you'll effectively seal the undersides of your nails so dirt can't collect beneath them. Then, after you've finished in the garden, use a nailbrush to remove the soap and your nails will be sparkling clean.

Check your houseplants aren’t toxic to pets Some common house plants which can be harmful to pets include aloe, dieffenbachia, various ivy and lily plants, carnations, philodendron, and holly. These plants account for only a small percent of household plants which can be toxic to animals.

Before bringing a new plant into your pet’s home, always be sure it is not harmful.

Minister for Health visits North London blood bank to launch innovative Blood 2020 strategy Jane Ellison MP, Minister for Public Health, launched NHS Blood andTransplant’s Blood 2020 strategy with a visit to Colindale blood centre, NorthLondon.

The minister met local patients whose lives depend on blood donation and saw first hand state-of-the-art manufacturing services which help maintain blood stock levels for hospitals around the country.

Every day, NHS Blood and Transplant relies on more than 6,000 blood donors to meet hospital and patient need across England and North Wales. The new strategy outlines the ambitions for blood donation services over the next five years.

An important part of Blood 2020 is work to better match donated blood to patients in need. Scientists at Colindale are working on extended blood group testing for patients who need multiple transfusions, including the 10,000 people in England who have sickle cell anaemia and 800 with thalassaemia.

Calvin Campbell, 50, from North London has received regular transfusions at the Whittington Hospital since the age of 14 for treatment of sickle cell.

DonnaMansfield-Allman, 54, also has sickle cell and is treated with regular transfusions at the Whittington and University College Hospital, London. The patients, who met Jane Ellison MP during her tour last week, are among those who in the future will hopefully benefit from the extended blood testing initiative. Jane Ellison, Minister for Public Health said: “My visit to Colindale showed the importance of donating blood. The Blood 2020 strategy builds on the excellent progress to date and gives clear direction for the years ahead, with the ambition to deliver the world’s best blood service. Most importantly, it has at To advertise call 0115

its heart the need to deliver an excellent and expert service to NHS hospitals, donors and patients.” Ian Trenholm, Chief Executive at NHS Blood and Transplant said: “We were delighted to welcome Jane Ellison MP to tour our Colindale facility, giving her an opportunity to see some of the world class work going on within the organisation in North London and meet local patients. The minister saw a snapshot of the technical work taking place at one of our state-of-the-art laboratories.

“As part the minister’s visit we launched our Blood 2020 strategy, setting out our ambitions for the next five years. We have come a long way since the inception of NHS Blood and Transplant nearly ten years ago, and this strategy builds on what we have learned along the way and paves the way for ourfuture.

While the process of collecting blood is fundamentally the same as a decade ago, processes and technologies have developed and demand from hospitals has changed. As an organisation, we have moved with these advancements and we continue to take strides forward as we move towards 24/7 activity across the organisation and seek innovative ways to meet our hospital customers’ needs.

“We will of course continue to focus on donors – without them being prepared to give their time to donate we wouldn’t be able to provide hospitals and patients with the transfusions they need. We aim to offer donors a safe, positive and modern experience – which includes moving towards paperless appointments and health checks. We hope that 80 per cent of donors will be using our digital services by 2020, enabling them to register, book and amend their appointments online meaning it is easier for them to come back and give their vital donations time and time again.”
