Welcome...

November ISSUE 2014

....I love November! Crisp fallen leaves, cosy dark evenings to snuggle on the sofa listening to the wind and rain outside, and for the kids – both large and small – Bonfire Night!!

With a public display at King Sutton Playing Fields on Sunday 2nd November at 6pm there couldn’t be a better way to enjoy this wonderful time of year with family and friends!

I needn’t remind you that Christmas is just a hop and a stride away now………so have a browse of our pages for pampering treats, gift ideas and festive meals to share with your loved ones.

Until the December issue our warmest wishes to you all!

Parking is always a problem, and whereas there’s usually a side street where the car can be left all day, it’s also less likely to be well lit in these dark mornings and evenings, and more at risk from passing thieves. A few simple checks will make your car less attractive to opportunistic ne’er-do-wells and may save heartache through the winter months!

• Always lock your car – and for older cars or 4x4s, make sure all the doors are locked! Shut windows tightly, too – any little gap can mean they can break in more easily.

• Never leave valuables or shopping on display – lock them in the glovebox or boot, or put them under the seat, out of sight.

• Don’t leave the car unattended if you need to warm it up in the morning – a car with the engine running is too much temptation for those who are looking to ‘borrow’ one!

• Fit a security device to help ensure your car’s still there when you return – immobilisers, alarms, pedal and steering wheel locks are all helpful in slowing thieves down, and fitting a tracker may help recover the vehicle, should they bypass all other measures.

Insurance premiums can be cheaper if these gadgets are installed, so they can save worry and pennies at the same time!

Christmas is c It’s nearing the time to start decking the halls, stirring up the pudding and writing those thousands of cards for friends and family across the globe, so if you’re like me, and watching the pennies, here are some handy tips to make sure the festive season is splendid whilst saving: • Kids love to make cards, tree decorations and gift tags, and they are so much nicer and more memorable than commercially made ones! Many discount stores sell card and paints, sequins and tinsel very cheaply, and the end result will be fabulous and delight the recipient!

• If you’ve parcels to send to family around the UK, courier companies can be cheaper than the usual trip to the Post Office, and have convenient locations in corner shops and petrol stations, so you can wrap and send gifts in the evenings and at weekends, too! Look online for the latest deals and to print your postage labels; what could be simpler!

• Christmas cake? Make your own using luxury ingredients, but source them from discount supermarkets – much nicer than a bought cake, and if you make it now, there’ll be

as is coming !! time to ‘feed’ it whatever tipple you choose! Get the kids to make a snow scene with royal icing, they’ll enjoy themselves and the end result will be fabulous and taste superb!

• Secret Santa is an amazing way of giving and receiving gifts in the workplace or amongst families. You can set a budget and write your name and what sort of gift you’d love on a piece of paper, then each picks a name out of the hat, everyone gets a present and only has to buy for one person – saving lots of money and wondering what people would like!

• Christmas dinner is best shared amongst friends and family, so each can bring a dish and enjoy the special day together. Poultry, meat and vegetables can be sourced locally, taste fantastic and save food miles and money – farm shops quite often sell fresh turkeys at a special rate in November, so if you have room in the freezer, buy ahead of time and save! You can pick up special offers on other festive favourites in advance and store or freeze them, too – saving money and shopping time in December when it’s crowded.

Declutter online!!

With Christmas nearly upon us, the urge is to tidy up, make space for everything on your wish list and create a cosy, homely environment to enjoy over winter.

Decluttering has never been easier, with the help of the internet.

However you get online – laptop, desktop, tablet or phone – you can sell, swap or give away unwanted items and have them collected in minutes – cheaper and much more rewarding than trekking to the tip!!

Sites such as Freecycle have Wanted and Offered pages, there are social networking pages to sell, swap or give away items in your local area, and many charities can be emailed to request a collection of furniture or other large items so that others can benefit.

Just tap the details into your choice of search engine – and get rid of the things you don’t need, to declutter for Christmas and help others in your area, at the click of a mouse!

A Revived Run Of Form...

D

Email: info@winwoodroofing.com

A revived run of form saw an unbeaten stretch of 7 games and 3 successive wins to lift the early season blues at St James Park. This mood was further raised as progress was made in the FA Cup including an impressive win away at Farnborough before defeat at St Albans City brought Saints back to earth with a bump.

With FA Trophy games to come and a busy league fixture list manager Jon Brady is looking to see his side climb the Vanarama Conference North table. Sitting next to bottom in September the team has risen to a respectable mid-table position and will hope to move on from here.

The new development team entered the Hellenic league for the first time and has taken it by storm, occupying top spot and turning a few heads along the way with some sparkling football. The club has launched its new Walking Football for the over-50’s which is growing in popularity.

This new version of the photographer B Martin game is taking off nationally and is far from pedestrian! Visit the club’s website for further information about Walking Football and all the up-coming fixtures and club events.

The Garden in November After our fine long summer (discounting August!), running pretty much till the end of September, we will have to expect an appreciable amount of rain. A forecast predicts severe winter but we should relax because long range predictions are notoriously unreliable! Also, we are probably in a run of mild ones now, having had the cluster of hard winters up to two years ago.

Looking Good As the days shorten and temperatures fall, splashes of colour can really lift the spirits.

How about the bright cheery gold of winter jasmine, a lanky shrub, happy against a fence to show off

the flowers which come late Autumn and early Spring For Autumn colour, few trees can match Liquidamber with its gorgeous shades of crimson, purple, and of course amber.

A small tree, it will make a handsome specimen. As for shrubs, Japanese maples have classic fiery foliage to show off, ideally sited in a sheltered spot with dappled shade. Try the coral bark maple Acer Sangokaku for its brilliant pink winter stems and fine colour in Autumn.
