How do we get these great savings?

Bring us your prescription! It's a commonly held belief that you must buy your spectacles from the testing optician, but this is untrue, what people need to be aware of is when having your eyes tested is that the prescription is YOURS, BY LAW, and must be handed to you immediately by the testing Optician to allow you the choice of where you purchase your spectacles.

Don’t be pressured, take time to decide where you make your next spectacles purchase. After all, you wouldn’t accept the first quote on your car insurance…would you?!

Our aim for both stores is to create a pleasurable experience in our family friendly environment. We have a loyal client base that pop in regularly for their free ‘MOT checks’ on their specs (and enjoy a cuppa on the sofa while they wait) We offer lots of free parking and on site manufacturing which usually means we can get your specs ready for you the same day!

Divine Therapy Country Retreat We at Divine Therapy have always had a passion for the countryside, we respect the land that grows the plants we use for our essential oils.

When we were offered the opportunity of using the Granary barn as our country retreat, surrounded by 500 acres of Winter Wheat, Oilseed Rape and Linseed with a flock of sheep in permanent pastures, we thought it would be an inspirational, peaceful and perfect place to learn and experience about massage and aromatherapy.

We are excited to be able to offer a series of workshops and treatment days at our venue, Greatworth Hall.

We begin with our Fathers Day Special, Dads Baby Massage class, which will run on 16th of June. While parents enjoy fresh coffee and patisseries, Dads will learn all about baby massage and mums will enjoy luxurious beauty treatments.

On 30th June we will be running an ‘Introduction to Aromatherapy’ workshop. In a tranquil and natural location we will learn about the power and healing that essential oils can provide.

We will be teaching some basic massage skills to

Choosing a window and conservatory company Window and conservatory companies often get a bad press. Pushy salespeople and silly price bargaining are a common experience for many.

However, there are trusted, established companies out there.

It’s a case of shopping around to find them.

If you are planning to replace your windows or doors, or add an extra room to your house with a new conservatory or garden room, take some time to think about your steps carefully. After all, it’s your home, your investment, and your money.

Consider what you need and are hoping to achieve with the improvement. In the case of windows it could be reducing heat loss. If that is the case, think about the energy rating of the glass. Shop around for the businesses that are offering what you need.

If they have a showroom, take time out to visit.

It will give you a much better feel for the products if

you can seem them in-situ.

Ask to see testimonials and letters from past customers.

Get quotes from a few different companies.

State clearly to them your requirements, and ask them to quote their best price.

Appraise each one. Was the salesman knowledgeable about the products? Was he too pushy, trying to get you to commit there and then? Were they offering ‘A’ energy rated windows as standard?

What after-care service and guarantees did they offer?

Did the business have trade accreditations?

When you make your final decision, yes, still consider price, but remember that old adage. If something seems too good to be true, it more than likely is.

The Garden in June

When gardening went all rock ‘n’ roll… 50 years on!

In the month and year of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Buckingham Garden Centre’s Chris Day takes a nostalgic trip down memory lane to see what we were up to in our gardens back in 1952! No, I’m not getting into a DeLorean and travelling Back to the Future (or should that be Back To The Fuchsia!), more of a taster of what we were doing in our gardens and of the social events at the time.

So, what plants were we buying for our gardens in the 1950s? Well, garden centres were yet to be invented, however, nurseries and mail-order companies thrived through this period. Fryer’s Roses, Bees of Chester (plants & seeds), Cuthbert’s Seeds (Woolworth’s own brand), and Carter’s Seeds are perhaps the ones we remember most.

For your gardening fix, Amateur Gardening and the RHS The Garden were popular reads. Top selling plants of the time included Hostas, Roses, rockery plants, Monkey Puzzle Trees, garden pinks, Dahlias, Hollyhocks, Chrysanthemums and vegetable varieties.

Popular hedging plants of the time included Cotoneaster simonsii, Spotted Laurel (Aucuba japonica), Hollies (Ilex),

Hydrangea (still as popular today!), Privet (Ligustrum) and Western Red Cedar (Thuja) amongst others.

Sixty years on and these remain as popular today.

Many gardens – wholly or part – had given over space to self-sufficiency and Dig For Victory in the decade before, so gardens and gardeners were able to shape their gardens again and that included the lawn. In fact, it was this decade that us Brits fell in love with our lawns and our obsession on growing them to perfection. To keep your grass perfectly trimmed and neatly striped, well there was only one real option, the push mower!

Now, what was it about this little machine – the effortless movement, the sound or the spray of lawn cuttings that used to go everywhere? As gardening memorabilia goes, this is a classic. I remember seeing at least two in my dad’s shed, rusted to bits, they would need constant oiling. Yet, they cut through the sward with ease – even if the grass was wet – to perfection.

The downside, mis-calculations on turning sometimes

Written by Chris Day Buckingham Nurseries & Garden Centre 01280 822133 resulted in some ill-timed mass dead-heading and any low branches/large leaves were taken out. Best of all, using a push mower was probably the best physical work-out anyone would need, unless of course you were a hay fever sufferer! You can still buy them for around £50!

If you went to the nursery to buy your bedding plants – Marigold, Salvias and Lobelia – were the top sellers – the process would be as follows; you would select your plants, which would be growing in shallow wooden trays, the assistant would then lift the plants out of the tray and using a long sharp knife, not too dissimilar to a bread knife, carefully slice through the loam-based compost cutting off the number you required and then these would be neatly placed on to some newspaper to pack them for your return home. The wooden slatted trays would then be recycled and used for the next crop. Goodness, how times have changed – even in the last 30 years we have seen polystyrene; three-section strip bedding, full and half-trays in plastic and today we use modular cell-packs made from recycled plastic!

TOP TIP: You can now plant out tender vegetables crops such as Aubergines, Cucumbers, Peppers and Tomatoes into the open garden or pots outside. A well-lit sunny location is essential. Remember to improve the soil prior to planting and place a support cane at planting too!

Start feeding as soon as the flowers appear on the plants with Tomorite or Doff Tomato Food every 10-14 days.

Don’t Drive Tired!

Tel: 01908 218875

With longer holiday driving and warmer weather during the summer months, falling asleep at the wheel of a car is a real hazard. Dozing off while driving is a very common occurrence but there are steps you can take to avoid the risk.

Regularly changing body position is one way to keep yourself alert. Increasing the circulation will kick start the body from its increasingly relaxed state.

Play music and sing along. Keeping the brain active is a good way to stay awake so listening to a talking book or a chat show on a radio station can be entertaining and a safety measure.

Open the windows to allow fresh air into the car.

Having regular snacks will help you to maintain your blood-sugar level and prevent energy levels from dropping. Don’t eat too much though as your body tends to relax ten minutes or so after food.

If you feel your concentration wane or your eyelids grow heavy, pull over as soon as it is safe to do so. Hand over the driving to a qualified passenger pull into a service station or hotel for some rest.
