Ok, so it’s only November, but how would you fancy a superb meal - turkey with all the trimmings, all those delicious vegetables mm mm!

Me, too! Well, if you’re American, or just fancy joining in to be neighbourly – there’s a Christmas dinner

preview by means of Thanksgiving!

Always celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November,

Thanksgiving dates back to the 17th century, when the early pilgrim settlers celebrated their first harvest in the New World.

This year, it falls on 23rd of the month, and it’s a national

23rd...

holiday in the USA. We don’t get a day off over here, but if you fancy joining in the celebrations a little, or planning your own Thanksgiving dinner, what’s on the menu?

Roast turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn on the cob, sweet potato with pumpkin pie for pudding. A delicious way to make the most of the harvest – I think I’ll be celebrating too, this year!

High Hedges Complaints

A Council will only consider a complaint if:

does not succeed then the complaint must be made in writing; submitted to the council in whose area the hedge is situated; be accompanied by the correct fee; and copied to the owner and any occupiers of the land on which the hedge is situated.

Before a complaint can be made, the owner of the affected property must take all reasonable steps to resolve matters by negotiation with the owner of the land on which the hedge is situated. If that

For legal advice on this subject or any other property related dispute, please contact Kyle Wyness, Associate at Spratt Endicott Solicitors on 01295 204135 or email kwyness@se-law.co.uk.

High hedges can block out light to houses and gardens and cause friction between neighbours.

No common law right to reduce the height of a hedge growing on neighbouring land exists.

The introduction of the Anti-social Behaviour Act 2003 (“ABA 2003”) gave local Councils the power to deal with complaints about high hedges that adversely affect the reasonable enjoyment of residential property.

1. It is made by an owner of residential property; 2. It alleges that the owner’s reasonable enjoyment of their property is adversely affected by the height of the hedge; and 3. The hedge is situated on land owned by another person.

To advertise at a price thats right for you

If the Council decides to uphold the complaint it can issue a remedial notice which records their decision that the hedge adversely affects the complainant’s reasonable enjoyment of their property, specifies the action required to remedy that effect and sets the deadline for compliance.

The world’s first conference for health missioners was held at the Buckingham Nursing Home in 1892.

Through the passionate advocacy of Frederick Verney the conference was financed by the new County Council and George De’Ath was its tutor. The health visitors it trained rode around north Bucks on bicycles advising women how to improve their family’s health through better sanitation and hygiene in their cottages.

Within 10 years, Buckingham had the lowest death rate of any town in England.

From this humble beginning led by George De’Ath in north Bucks, the concept of health visitors and district nurses spread worldwide. (Ed Grimsdale, local Buckingham historian) 125 years ago this year, a conference was convened in the town that led to the establishment of 'health missioners' that contributed to the locality's health & well being. Whilst Salford or Birmingham often claim to be the birthplace of urban district nursing, we know that Buckingham, at the very least, was the birthplace of rural community nursing.for the world. The Town Council decided to mount a Health

12

Festival to celebrate this fact where there will be many events throughout the week for the community to get involved in. The Council has been working closely with representatives from NHS England, the Queens Nursing Institute and other senior nurses and midwives to assemble a professional development conference on Friday the 10th November to look back and look forwards to the future of community nursing and health. NHS England has kindly sponsored the event.

On Saturday the 11th November the community centre will be transformed into a jamboree of health where local groups, agencies, businesses and practitioners will provide advice, guidance, resources and information to all visitors.

You will see up to 30 exhibitors from local therapists, Osteopath, Chiropractic, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, Health Watch Bucks, the Buckingham Hospital League of Friends (this year is their 50th year anniversary of the founding of the league)!

To advertise at a price thats right for you

And many more, please go online for more details: www.buckingham-tc.gov.uk Throughout the week there will be a small Exhibition of the history of community nursing locally & nationally on display at the local library. An afternoon tea-party will be hosted by Villiers for retired nurses on Thursday the 9th November. The Free NHS Health Checks program will be running for those that meet the criteria.

We hope that all local Schools will come on board and do something special during the week to promote health and well-being, The Royal Latin, Bourton Meadow Academy, Grenville Academy and the Buckingham School are already involved.

It is the intention to get as many local businesses and organisations involved in some way too.

Further information will be provided closer to and during the week, with details of what, when and where the different events will be happening via our Town Council website and social Medias. Watch this space!

The leaves are falling, as well as the temperatures, and the rain has started to come more often, says Buckingham Garden Centre’s Chris Day. Yes, winter is definitely on its way. But, that doesn’t mean there are no jobs to be done in your garden this month - definitely not! You should have done a lot to prepare your garden for the winter back in October – mainly tidying up, but there are still tasks to tick off on your to-do list this month.

Autumn is often treated as a time to hack everything back for a big tidy up before winter really sets in.

However, it’s actually not a good time to prune many trees and shrubs - you are better to do this late in winter, or in early spring. Cherries, if pruned, are very vulnerable to silver leaf disease, and evergreens are usually tackled in early spring, or directly after flowering.

Saying this, there are some plants that should be pruned in the autumn - these include Beech, Hawthorn and Hazel. It’s worth trimming back climbing and shrub roses by half to help stop wind rock affecting your plants. Vigorous growers like

Buddleja, Dogwoods and Lavatera can be reduced by half to again lessen problems of wind rock over the winter. The most important part of autumn pruning is removing dead, diseased, or misplaced branches. Always aim to make a clean cut, either back to just above a bud on living wood, or back to the stem it’s growing from. After pruning, scatter a few handfuls of bonemeal around the root area of shrubs to stimulate root growth over winter, and mulch with garden compost.

If you have grapevines in your garden, then you will also need to prune these in November. Cut back all fruited shoots to one or two buds from the main stem.

This can be carried out between November and late winter. If your grapevines are under glass then it’s best to prune them sooner, rather than later, so that winter sunlight coming into the greenhouse is not blocked out.

As long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged, keep planting out pot-grown hardy climbers, shrubs and trees - and, you must remember to water them

through the winter. It’s also a good time to plant bare root specimens which are usually cheaper to buy, and of course, you get to select a wide range of species, often available in many good planting sizes. Check out availability at www.hedging.co.uk Whilst checking new plantings make sure you set tree guards (spiral tree guards, 29p each or tree shelters from £1.29 each) or chicken wire around young trees and woody shrubs that are prone to attacks from rabbits, deer or squirrels. This should stop them nibbling on the bark causing possible death by ring barking or making wounds into which disease can enter the plants.

Sow some broad beans! These beans, which are also known as ‘fava’ beans, are a cool weather crop and can be sown in autumn or early spring to give a succession of pods to pick from early, to mid- summer and they are delicious!

They like a deep, rich, moist but free draining soil and plenty of sunlight. Some varieties can grow to around 90cm high, so make sure you prepare for this when choosing a spot to plant them. If your garden gets a lot of wind, then you may be better to grow a dwarf variety - such as ‘The Sutton’ (pictured). Once they’re planted you can look forward to harvesting them come late spring but make sure you pick them before the beans grow huge (beans should be about the size of a thumbnail when popped from their pod).

If you miss a few and these become too large to be tender to eat, don’t worry, just leave them until the

pods start to dry then pick them, dry them in the sun and store them for winter stews. They take about an hour of boiling to tenderise, but are delicious – far better than dried beans you can buy. The same applies to Runner and French Beans, but do not do this whilst the plants are still flowering and producing young beans as it will reduce the crop of new beans.

Leaves, bulbs, taps and lawn

• Rake and gather up leaves that are falling on

the lawn, beds and in your pond, doing this regularly to keep on top of this task. If you missed feeding the lawn last month, don’t worry you can do it through November. Evergreen Lawn Feed and Moss killer is always best applied when the weather is fair, the soil is moist and the grass is dry and frost free.

• It’s your last chance to plant some tulip bulbs!

By planting them this late in the year you’ll have

ns

a much better chance of preventing the bulbs being infected with the fungal disease, tulip fire. Just don’t leave it too late - if you can get them planted right at the start of the month. They are best planted in a lightly shaded spot

that gets more sun as spring progresses.

• Now is the time to clean

out bird nesting boxes. If you do not clean them out they can harbour wintering pests like mites, as well as bird diseases. Remove old nesting material before scrubbing with clean water and applying a wildlife-safe cleaner such as Gardman Wild Bird Feeder Hygiene Spray. Also put out bird food

regularly to encourage the birds into your garden.

Then, sit back and look forward to seeing some lovely birds visiting!

• Prepare your taps for winter!

Use foam lagging to insulate all outdoor taps and pipework against freezing temperatures or use a tap cover (Pictured Gardman, £1.99). If they aren’t protected, water within the tap or pipe will expand causing splits or cracks meaning there will be leaks once they are thawed out.
