“Y
Smalalltalk Sm ltalk our time is limited... … so don’t waste it living someone else’s life”
said Steve Jobs. I wonder how long it took him to realise this before his life came to an end? And I wonder how many of us are actually guilty of this in one way or another? It’s so easy to get wrapped up in the needs of day to day life that you don’t stop to look around you and see what you are blessed with, or indeed how you actually got to where you are. You may not be living in a way that is true to yourself and whilst it might not matter right now, eventually your very self will erode away so that you, at worse, forget who you really are, and at best live a life that doesn’t fulfil you. Without casting responsibility and sense totally adrift, why not spend some time with a pen and a pad and just doodle. Draw or write whatever comes to mind about your life. Let it all flow— nothing is right or wrong—feelings, facts and figures. You’ll end up with a picture that might surprise you. One inarguable fact is that we can only be sure of the very moment so grab yours with both hands and jolly well live it in the way that YOU want to live it! Much love until next month Coralie and Sean x

It would be a wonderful gift to the community if we could renew the Parish Centre for it’s 50th Anniversary around 2018! If this was possible then it would continue to be a meeting place at the heart of our community for years to come.

Any folk of goodwill towards this project would be very welcome to come along and find out more as we take these tentative but very positive first steps towards a new or renewed Parish Centre.

The Brodrick Hall is much older and was built in 1908 in order to serve the young people of the parish!

Debt
@MoneySavingExpert
For those with existing debts there are record deals available right now to let you cut the cost and save £100s or £1,000s. Yet as the old adage goes, banks are companies that’d lend you an umbrella when the sun shines and ask for it back when it rains. So getting cheaper credit when in debt is tricky – however I have developed credit card eligibility checkers which can help you check what debt cutting cards you’re able to get before you apply. If you can lower the interest cost, then more of your repayment clears the actual debt, not just services the interest – meaning you’ll be debt-free far quicker. So here are the key debt cost cutting need to knows… I make no apology for saying…. stop borrowing. If you're struggling, borrowing to make ends meet just elongates the problem - making it even costlier and more difficult. The tips below will help, but if you keep adding to the debt nothing will fix it. So take a deep breath, do a budget and examine all your spending to see if you can cut back. Best buys are only best if you can get them. While there are many great rates on offer, you need to pass a credit score to get them, and many fail at that hurdle. Worse still when you apply it leaves a footprint on your file and lots of those in a short space of time can hit your future credit worthiness. I've given evidence to Parliament on this 'antishopping around' system - little's been done. So to fight back on my site we’ve built a free eligibility calculator – which tells you which cards you’re most likely to be accepted for. Just as importantly it does this without leaving a footprint on your file that lenders can see – so you can home in on the right one, minimising applications. To try it go to www.MoneySavingExpert.com/eligibility. Shift credit or store card debt to 35mth 0%. A balance transfer’s where you get a new credit card that repays debts on the old credit or store card(s) for you, so you owe it instead at a lower rate. The longest 0% deals for those new to the card company now last nearly three years (a year ago they were 30 months), but as 8
with many things in life longest isn't always best. Aim for the lowest fee card, ensuring you've enough time to clear it. Top picks and golden rules at www.mse.me/balancetransfers. Shift your overdraft to 0% too. Debit cards can be debt cards too - if you're in your overdraft it's often more costly than credit cards, especially if you bust your limit. So there are two ways to get out of this. a) Switch to a 0% overdraft: Top bank for customer service www.firstdirect.com offers a £250 0% overdraft (you must payin £1,000/month) and for accepted new switchers a free £100 - which should help reduce the overdraft straight away. For some www.nationwide.co.uk 0% overdraft may be bigger, but it's only for a year and is 50p/day after. b) Shift it to a 0% 'money transfer' credit card. A few balance transfer cards also let newbies 'money transfer'. This is where it pays a lump sum into your bank account, which can then clear your overdraft so you owe it instead. Top pick is www.mbna.co.uk which gives 24 months 0% money transfers for a one off 2.2% fee (though it's 22.9% rep APR after the 0% ends). Yet be careful, follow the balance transfer rules above and for more picks and full step-by-step help see www.mse.me/moneytransfers. Can you cut the cost of existing loans? It's complex, as you need to factor in that most loans charge up to two months' interest to repay them early. - Who should try? Those who can get a substantially lower APR loan (eg, more than a fifth off, so from 10% to 8%), and have a while left to repay. Full options in www.mse.me/cheaploans. - How much can I save? Someone who is 2 years through a 5 year 12% loan for £5,000, paying it off with a 4.9% loan, could save around £1,000. Don't pay all debts equally - attack the highest APR. Once your debts are as cheap as possible, list them all, including overdrafts, in order of APRs. Focus all spare cash to clear the highest APR one as it grows fastest, and just pay the min on the others. Once that's clear, move to the
next highest. I've never seen a debt crisis that isn't solvable - don't give up hope. The solutions above are for cutting debt costs. Yet for some, it's much worse than that. Do any of these apply to you... - You can't meet even just the minimum monthly payments. - You have non-mortgage debts bigger than a year's salary. - You have sleepless nights or serious depression/anxiety over your debts. If so then you're likely in a debt crisis and that means the solution you need is totally different. The most important thing I can tell you is I've never seen a debt crisis that isn't solvable. It may not always be quick or easy, but there is a proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. The first step is to go for free, one-on-one debt counselling help from www.adviceguide.org.uk, www.stepchange.org, www.nationaldebtline.org or, if you're struggling emotionally too www.capuk.org.

Azalea
As a member of the Rhododendron family, the Azalea is a beautiful addition to many gardens, preferring a spot of shade in which to offer up colourful blooms in the summer. These shrubs are slow growing and hold onto their flowers for several weeks which makes for a delightful splash of colour and adds interest and depth to many a drab area.
12
They’re also pretty easy to look after too. Best planted in spring they thrive in a well drained, acidic soil. If your soil is poorly drained then they work well in containers too. Add some compost, organic matter and mulch to prevent some of the common problems with these plants.

Home omemad madee apple crisps INGREDIENTS 40g caster sugar 11 tsp lemon juice (to taste) 4 Apples
METHOD Preheat the oven to 110°c. Put non-stick baking paper onto 2 large baking trays. Pop the sugar, lemon juice and 90ml water in a pan over a low heat. Keep stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Bring it to the boil and cook it for 3-4 minutes until it is just turning syrupy then put to one side. Slice the apple finely and throw the ends in the bin. Dip each slice into the syrup and lay on the baking paper side by side. Bake for 2-3 hours until dried and turn halfway. Check on the slices if some are thinner than the others as these will cook more quickly. Lay out on a rack until they are cool and crisp.

Learning to let go Letting go allows life to flow better, to be able to see what is before us and move through it rather than holding on to things from the past that no longer serve us. For so many years I went through my life totally attached to the outcome. It was almost like I had the whole of my life mapped out in my mind and all I had to do was get to the end.
ecstatic joys and the black times of sadness. And to enjoy the magic you need both. Sure you can go through life on a flat-line – no highs no lows but that is rather like a living death. Life is supposed to have both highs and lows, without a low you would not even know the highs when they came along.
Personally, for me the roller coaster is an odd analogy because I actually hate them. Many years ago we were at an amusement park in Spain and a friend went on the corkscrew rollercoaster. She came off with the I realised that I could endure life and biggest smile on her face saying “You get to the end or I could live it, have to ride it – it is wonderful!”. For moment to moment. I think many some reason in that moment I forgot people endure life and miss out on (caught up by her enthusiasm) that I the magic. I often work with people actually hated roller coasters and who have for many years just stuck at gaily got strapped into the ride. what they hate so that they can get to retirement and then enjoy life. It was awful! However they realise that that means they will miss out on most of their life But - and this is the big but, it taught and then commit to change. me a huge lesson. Because after I got off and complained loudly how awful And that’s great, if you see it and it was she asked: decide you want the magic. Trouble is if you do not make that change and “Did you let go?” continue to ‘stick at it’ you do not fully live for over two thirds of your “Let go, let go?” I replied, ‘Are you life. And by the time you get to that crazy?” last third (if you’re lucky!) you are so exhausted from the slog of life with “Nope” she said. “The magic of the no magic that it all feels too late. roller coaster is to let go and allow yourself to go with the ride.

I woke up the day an old friend asked me if I liked my life and did I want to be living it when I was sixty? The answer was no.
26
That’s when the ah-ha happened. I suddenly saw that I had been trying to ensure a ‘safe passage’. But when we do this either on the roller coaster or in life we stop the magic. Because if we only have one way of getting to the end, getting to the result, we do not even see what else life has to offer us. We get tunnel visioned and the best of the fun and opportunity – the magic - might be just beside us and we walk straight by. We need to be open to what comes, to allow it to give us even more than we have set our intention for. We can have a ‘this or something better’ attitude. In the Passion Test we say there are three steps to living a passionate life: Intention – being clear on what you are passionate about and setting an intention to go for it Attention – putting your attention on your intention, both by taking action – action engages attention – and energetically focusing on it too. But the magic is the third key: No Tension – simply knowing that once you have done all you can, putting your full attention on your passion, that you can now let go. Let it go with the feeling of it is done – this or something better. Now that’s magic!
