French Twinning Association

Did you know that some 52 years ago a Twinning Association was started between Holbeach and Sezanne / Mondement in France, which lies in the heart of the Champagne region?

The Association (now under the Banner of “The Friends of Sezanne”) is still going strong after all this time and at the end of August a party of some 35 members will travel by luxury coach for a four day visit.

To be a member it is not necessary to be able to speak French, but opportunities obviously arise whereby you can become involved with the language and it is a fine opportunity to make contact and exchanges with children who are learning French.. If you wish to get involved, you can contact the Secretary, Roy Ford on 01406 380777 or Keith Savage (Chairman) on 01406 490157.

SHDC Welcomes New Neighbours The range of services available in the South Holland District Council offices has grown again as another outside organisation has decided to make its base there.

Earlier this year Spalding staff of HM Customs and Revenue moved into the Priory Road buildings.

Now the South Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service is also making its home there.

Two ground floor offices have been allocated to SLCVS – a large room for up to about eight people and a smaller, private room for

interviews with members of the public.

SLCVS Chief Executive Officer Ladey Adey: “I am delighted that South Lincolnshire CVS will be moving into the Priory Road offices. This move will bring our services closer to the South Holland residents who are looking at volunteering to give

back to their communities or as a pathway into employment.

Alongside this it will provide us with space to meet with local community groups and voluntary organisations.”

Jailbreak

How far could you travel in 24 hours with no money?

Now’s your chance to find out. Sue Ryder fundraisers in Peterborough have thrown down the challenge to anyone crazy enough to dress up as convicts to take part in their sponsored Jailbreak next month.

Teams will “escape” from HMP Prison in Peterborough at 4pm on Friday June 24th using their charm, powers of persuasion and ability to blag to get as far away as possible and at the same time raising lots of cash for the Sue Ryder Hospice at Thorpe Hall.

Entry is £12 per person with a minimum of two in a team and jail-breakers must be 18 or over.

Jackie said: “We recommend for safety reasons that there is a least one male in the team, though this is not compulsory. We also suggest it might be easier to get free travel with not too many people in the team.”

Anyone who would like to take part can register on line at www. sueryder.org or contact Jackie on 01733 330060 or email thorpe. fundraising@sueryder.org for more information.

Advice

WILLS –

Have you made one?

Planning for our deaths may seem morbid to many, but it has never been more essential for each of us to get things in order before we shuffle off this mortal coil. We all want to ensure our loved ones are provided for when we do pass away, and likewise we want to be certain that our possessions and property go to those who deserve them.

Why is it important to make a will?

It is important for you to make a will, whether or not you consider you have many possessions or much money, because:• if you die without a will, there are certain rules which dictate how the money, property or possessions should be allocated, which may not be the way that you would have wished; • unmarried partners and partners who have not registered a civil partnership cannot inherit from each other unless there is a will, so the death of one partner may create serious financial problems for the remaining partner; • if you have children, you will need to make a will so that arrangements for the children can be made if either one or both parents die; • it may be possible to reduce the amount of tax payable on the inheritance if advice is taken in advance and a will is made; • if your circumstances have changed, it is important that you make a will to ensure that your money and possessions are distributed according to your wishes. For example, if you have separated and your ex-partner now lives with someone else, you may want to change your will.

If you are married or enter into a registered civil partnership, this will make any previous will you have made invalid.

When a person dies without leaving a valid will, their property (the estate) must be shared out according to certain rules. These are called the rules of intestacy. A person who dies without leaving a will is called an intestate person. Only married or civil partners and some other close relatives can inherit under the rules of intestacy. If someone makes a will but it is not legally valid, the rules of intestacy decide how the estate will be shared out, not the wishes expressed in the will.

Is it necessary to use a solicitor?

It is generally advisable to use a solicitor or to have a solicitor check a will you have drawn up to make sure it will have the effect you want. It is easy to make mistakes and, if there are errors in the will, this can cause problems after your death. The charges for drawing up a will vary between solicitors and also depend on the complexity of the will. Before making a decision on who to use, it is always advisable to check with a few local solicitors to find out how much they charge. You may have access to legal advice through an addition to an insurance policy which might cover the costs of a solicitor preparing or checking a will. It is also worth you giving some thought to what you want to say in the will before seeing a solicitor. This should help reduce the costs involved.

However, if you don’t use a solicitor, it is better to use a firm which belongs to the Institute of Professional Willwriters. These firms must follow a Code of Practice which covers the training and assessment of willwriters. There is also a complaints and conciliation procedure which can help you sort out problems if things go wrong. You can find details of The Code and of firms which belong to the Institute on the Institute’s website at www.ipw.org.uk.

If you belong to a Trade Union they may offer a free will writing service. There are also books

10 SIMPLY SPALDING www.simply-spalding.co.uk

which provide guidance on how to draw up a will. These can help you decide if you should draw up your own will or if any of the pre-printed will forms available from stationers and charities are suitable. It is also possible to find help on the internet. However, you should only consider doing it yourself if the will is going to be straightforward. We would not recommend will writing firms as they are not regulated by the Law Society so there are few safeguards if things go wrong.

What should be included in a will To save time and reduce costs when going to a solicitor, you should give some thought to the major points which you want included in your will. You should consider such things as:• how much money and what property and possessions you have; for example, property, savings, occupational and personal pensions, insurance policies, bank and building society accounts, shares; • who you want to benefit from your will. You should make a list of all the people to whom you wish to leave money or possessions. These people are known as beneficiaries. You also need to consider whether you wish to leave any money to charity; • who should look after any children under 18; • who is going to sort out the estate and carry out your wishes as set out in the will. These people are known as the executors.

Citizens Advice Bureau give free, confidential, impartial and independent advice to help you solve your problems.

Heatwave...Are You Ready?

In August 2003, temperatures hit 38C (101F) during a nine-day heatwave, the highest recorded in the UK. If hot weather hits this summer, take steps to make sure it doesn’t harm you or anyone you know.

Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it’s too hot for too long there are health risks, especially for the very young, the elderly and the seriously ill. In particular, very hot weather When heat becomes a problem An average temperature of 30C by day and 15C overnight would trigger a health alert (this figure varies slightly around the UK). These temperatures can have a significant effect on people’s health if they last for at least two days and the night in between.

Why is a heatwave a problem?

• dehydration (not having enough water) • overheating, which can make symptoms worse for people who already have problems with their heart or breathing • heat exhaustion • heatstroke Who is most at risk?

A heatwave can affect anyone, but the most vulnerable people in extreme heat are: • older people, especially those over 75 • babies and young children • people with a serious chronic condition, especially heart or breathing problems • people with mobility problems, for example people with

Parkinson’s disease or who have had a stroke • people with serious mental health problems • people on certain medications, including those that affect sweating and temperature control • people who misuse alcohol or drugs • people who are physically active, for example labourers or those doing sports Tips for coping The following advice applies to everybody when it comes to keeping cool and comfortable and reducing health risks: • Shut windows and pull down the blinds when it is hotter outside. If it’s safe, open them for ventilation when it is cooler.

• Avoid the heat: stay out of the sun and don’t go out between 11am and 3pm (the hottest part of the day) if you’re vulnerable to the effects of heat.

• Keep rooms cool by using blinds or reflective material outside the windows. If this isn’t possible, use lightcoloured curtains and keep them closed • Have cool baths or showers, and splash yourself with cool water.

• Drink cold drinks regularly, such as water and fruit juice.

Avoid tea, coffee and alcohol.

• Stay tuned to the weather forecast on the radio or TV, or at the Met Office website.

• Plan ahead to make sure you have enough supplies, such as food, water and any medications you need.

• Identify the coolest room in the house so you know where to go to keep cool.

Crystal of the Month TIGER’S EYE

If you’re worried about yourself or a vulnerable neighbour, friend or relative, you can contact the local environmental health office at your local authority. Environmental health workers can visit a home to inspect it for hazards to health, including excess heat.

How do I know if someone needs help?

If someone feels unwell, get them somewhere cool to rest.

Give them plenty of fluids to drink.

If symptoms such as breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, weakness, dizziness or cramps get worse or don’t go away, seek medical help.

Health & Beauty

by Kate Gibbard

Late nights out, hectic early mornings - sometimes looking after our teeth can feel like a never-ending chore; and sometimes it’s a job we’re guilty of rushing.

Having good oral health is more than just having bright, white teeth, or half-heartedly going through the routine of brushing.

So how can we ensure we maintain good oral health?

Gum Disease, Tooth Decay & Cavities

Gum disease develops gradually - starting with the build-up of plaque on teeth. Plaque is a deposit containing bacteria that forms on the surface of teeth and if it’s not removed by brushing, it builds up on the teeth leading to irritation and inflammation of the gums. In serious cases, this can develop into what dentists call chronic periodontitis, and this advanced stage can cause the teeth to loosen. According to research, it is estimated that 50-90% of the adult population in the UK has some degree of gum disease - a startling statistic!

The key to preventing gum disease is having good oral hygiene. Make sure you brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Experts recommend that you brush your teeth for at least two minutes - first thing in the morning and then at least an hour after your evening meal, as brushing immediately after food can actually damage your teeth.

NHS advice is that you floss at least three times a week too, to remove the food and plague from between the teeth and in areas your toothbrush can’t reach. Research shows that brushing alone only cleans about 60% of the surface of your teeth! It’s also important to regularly use a suitable mouthwash - ask your dentist or dental hygienist for some recommendations. And if you’re a smoker, you might want to re-think your habit - smoking makes gum disease even worse.

Ensuring you keep to your check-ups with your dentist will also help you keep on top of plague build-up. Your dentist will thoroughly clean and de-scale your teeth, and will also offer advice if you’re suffering from plague. Your dentist or hygienist will advise on your brushing technique, putting an end to any bad habits you’ve slipped into.

Plague can also lead to tooth decay and cavities - so it’s important to keep up with the battle against plague. Acid in plague can gradually break down the surface of our teeth and when the tooth breaks down and the nerves get exposed, that’s when the excruciating toothache occurs!

According to the NHS, tooth decay is one of the most widespread health problems in the UK. More than half (55%) of adults in the UK have one or more decayed teeth.

Your diet is also important when it comes to preventing gum disease, tooth decay and cavities; it’s the same advice you were told as a child - don’t eat too many sweets and fizzy drinks. Sugary foods and drinks should be an occasional treat!

Finally - don’t forget to replace your toothbrush regularly for a continuous deep clean. Experts say you should buy a new toothbrush every two or three months.

Bad breath

The cause of bad breath is down to poor oral hygiene - not brushing properly means that food left caught between the

teeth is broken down by bacteria, which causes bad breath.

advice about the processes involved in having your teeth whitened. Always go to your dentist for advice.

There are other factors that can lead to bad breath - such as eating spicy foods, certain diets and smoking, but bad breath often comes down to not looking after your oral hygiene properly.

Preventing Mouth Cancer

Aside from adopting a good teeth cleaning practice (brushing and flossing), the NHS recommend that you eat a balanced diet, reduce your alcohol intake, stop smoking, brush your tongue or use a tongue cleaner to clean to the back of your tongue (bacteria that cause bad breathe also lives on the tongue), drink plenty of fluids, reduce coffee intake and cut down on sugary foods and drinks. You might also find that chewing a sugar-free gum helps. If bad breath persists though, be sure to see your dentist for some professional advice.

Early detection is the key to aiding survival - and making sure you keep up with your regular dentist check-ups is an essential part of this. When you see your dentist, they will examine the soft tissue of your mouth, enabling them to spot any early signs.

Once again, poor oral hygiene will be something your dentist will pick up on - so keep to your check-ups. Seeing your dentist is also a chance to have your teeth cleaned professionally and to get further advice if you think bad breath is becoming a problem.

White Teeth

There are lots of way to stop your teeth from becoming stained - really obvious things like cutting down on smoking, red wine and coffee.

All the celebrities seem to have perfect white teeth - but don’t get tempted into the DIY kits on the market; it’s really important to visit your dentist for professional advice.

Recently there has been a lot in the news about teeth whitening, with calls for tooth whitening to be carried out by registered, trained and qualified dental professionals only. A recent survey carried out by the dental regulators, the General Dental Council (GDC), shows that more than 80% of 1,021 adults polled believed tooth whitening should only ever be carried out by a dental professional (you can read more about this at www. dentistry.co.uk).

Your dentist will be able to offer you crucial

Looking for the Look no further than Image International in Red Lion Street, Spalding. The team from Simply Spalding spent a morning with the Paul Mitchell salon to see what they could do with our locks.

Kate

Stylist: Trishna Inspiration/Idea: Wedding/Prom Up do - Audrey Hepburn style.

The initial work was to build volume. The hair was parted from the crown to the nape and crimped using mini crimping irons. The hair from crown to the back of the ear was isolated; the hair from the back was smoothed all the way to the crown.

The hair was secured in place with pins and to add drama to the volume a piece of padding was used.

To finish, all the hair was built up over the top to give it the height, the sides were folded in and the fringe directed from one side to the other.

Kate’s verdict: “It’s not something I would usually go for as I tend to wear my hair down most of the time, I trusted Trishna completely and it was an opportunity to try something different. I felt super glam all day and night long”

Rosie

Stylist: Pep Inspiration/Idea: Fresh new look and tidy It wasn’t just us that felt like stars being treated to a pamper in Image International, Rosie was given a ‘star’ haircut! Rosie’s hair was cut from short to long on the points of the star to create a ‘piecey’ hair style. The hair was razored in to create a semi-blend and then Pep left random bits sticking out and the edges were roughened.

Rosie’s verdict: “The style is easy to manage and with just a quick roughen up half way through the photo shoot from Pep I now know how to glam it up for an evening. I never expected so much versatility from a shorter style”

Toni

Stylist: Dani Inspiration/Idea: Glam, Glam, Glam – Cheryl Cole With long hair, keeping it in tip-top condition is always a challenge. Dani used the new awapuhi kera triplex treatment on Toni’s hair to reconstruct, add shine and leave her with a gorgeous, glossy finish. Whilst the treatment was left to work it was Toni’s hands that were in for a treat with a complimentary paraffin hand wax.

For the ‘pop-star’ finish with volume and curl the hair was blow dried in pin curls for natural movement.

Toni’s verdict “I often wear my hair down for a night out and up for work but just tend to scrunch my natural curls which can often drop. The pin curls looked natural but lasted all day and night long. The awapuhi treatment has worked wonders – I will definitely be using it again”

star treatment?

Hayley

Stylist: Natalie Inspiration/Idea: Blunt, Funky – Jessie J A pre-lightener was applied freestyle in a halo section to create a natural lightened look, as if from the sun. After the hair had lifted, a red ink manicure was applied all over the head to bring to life the fading colour already on the hair. Paul Mitchell manicure ink is a semi permanent dye that has a wide range of bright colours that wash out after 15-20 washes.

Using clippers all over to give a blunt, defined look, including the fringe, the look was almost complete. Finally before styling an awapuhi styling and treatment oil was applied to seal cuticles for a high shine finish.

Hayley’s verdict: “I am forever changing my mind on colours and styles, Natalie listened to what I was looking for as I have been growing my hair for the past 2 years but wanted a dramatic look without losing length. I love it!”

Theresa

Stylist: Colour & Cut by Andy, Styling by Pep Inspiration/Idea: Add a wow without the maintenance Being very conscious of a busy mum’s requirements of a low maintenance colour and cut, Andy lightened a radial halo section of hair underneath the top layer. This section was ink stained with orange Paul Mitchell Inkworks. The hair was then trimmed and over the top Paul Mitchell Shines was applied to enhance natural colour and add warmth to compliment the orange for a natural, interesting, funky look. The shines and inkworks are all semi permanent so there will be minimal roots as the colour will naturally fade out after about 20 washes.

Andy recommended for Theresa to use Paul Mitchell colour care shampoo and conditioner to maintain the colour at home.

Theresa’s verdict: “Every single person I have met since my transformation has loved the colour. It took me some getting used to but after both my hubby and daughter giving their nods of approval I will be keeping up with the more chestnut look”

I

mage International may be a locally based salon to most, but with their team you are getting the best of the best. Led by Pep Pasqualino, Image International are heavily involved in Paul Mitchell training and the hairdressing industry across the globe.

Fathers Day Gift Guide

A man’s decision to become a dad has life-altering costs and benefits. On the cost side, the choice to raise a family often means scaling back many of the activities and interests that defined his life previously, in favour of spending time with the next generation. It also means giving up the freedom to be spontaneous whenever the mood strikes.

That said, there’s a reason why men make these sacrifices to don the title of “dad.” The primal desire to continue the family line is certainly one reason.

Considering all of this, taking one day a year to show your appreciation for Dad is the least any good son or daughter can do. While gifts certainly aren’t the only way to show you care on Father’s Day, there’s nothing like the sense of personal satisfaction you can gain from giving a thoughtful item to the most important man in your life.

According to askmen.com here are the top 10 gifts for your father this year No.10 Grilling Tools The grill, like a man’s office, is a personal sanctuary where mastery means everything. Your dad may not realise just how many useful tools exist now to help make the grilling experience that much better, so providing him with a BBQ Tool Belt or Stainless Steel Turner Tongs will both educate and impress him.

No.9 Alcohol Sometimes nothing can take the edge off of a day of

stress and work like a nice stiff drink. Buy your dad top-shelf booze like a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label, or more affordable Bombay Sapphire, and you’ll give him a gift he can enjoy and appreciate with you on Father’s Day. No.8 Fishing Gear The traditionalist in your dad may lead him to believe that fishing is only about a rod, a reel and some line.

Once he opens the luxurious handcrafted setl, or even the more reasonably compact fishing rod tote, you’re likely to see his vision of this age-old pastime expand to include his new toys.

No.7 A Set of Golf Clubs If your old man considers a round of golf as the closest thing he’s found to heaven on earth, then enhancing his equipment to improve his game is an obvious Father’s Day gift idea. Wow him with a new set of workhorse Ping G15 irons, or add yards to his drive with the Callaway FT-IZ and he’ll think of you every time he hits a great shot.

No.6 Leather Wallet A man rarely thinks about the quality or image his wallet projects. After all, it’s tucked out of sight most of the time. Feeling, smelling and looking at the quality of wallets like the Sedgwick Bridle Leather Billfold will quickly make your dad realise just how shoddy his faithful standby is and show him it’s time to retire it.

No.5 Wine Good wine is a luxury most men only learn to appreciate and have the means to acquire later in life. So remind your father of the perks of being an experienced dad by supplementing his collection. If a

18 SIMPLY SPALDING www.simply-spalding.co.uk

by Hayley Willerton

wine shop’s massive selection intimidates you, start with something full-bodied from California – Pinot Noirs from the Russian River Valley and Chardonnays from Sonoma are sure bets.

No.4 Driving Gloves Did your dad sell the family car for his own two-door roadster once you left the house for good? If so, then a pair of leather driving gloves will certainly add to his driving experience.

No.3 Meat Most men associate the chance to dine on high-quality meat as a luxury only provided by restaurants. There are some excellent mail-order meat establishments that can deliver the same level of quality for your dad to use in his own special recipes to make grilling at home that much more of an experience.

No.2 Sports Tickets It sounds sappy, but often great experiences and the memories they create are the only gifts that matter.

A pair of tickets for you and your dad to go to a game and support his favourite team is a gift that will wow him and give him something to look forward to once Father’s Day is over.

No.1 Landscaping Services The notion that a man enjoys mastering his domain by slaving away in the hot sun to cut grass, trim hedges and plant becomes less true as guys get older. However, frugal dads who never like to ask for help may not be too keen on admitting they’d rather have someone else step in. Give your dad the gift of a prepaid garden landscaping service and it will save his ego as well as his back.

r e n r o C s ’ Pet We’re all going on a Summer holiday Whether you’re planning on holidaying this year with or without your pet there’s plenty to consider...

Leaving your pet behind Dogs

Although a dog will always be the first into the car when it looks as if something exciting is going on, it may not be possible to take your dog on holiday with you.

Look for bright clean surroundings, warm sleeping quarters and adequate exercise areas. Staff should be happy to answer your questions as well as being friendly and knowledgeable.

Ask whether you can bring along a favourite toy or familiar blanket to keep your cat company and also what diet your cat will be fed. Make sure the cattery knows about your cat’s dietary needs and preferences, as well as any medical considerations.

Small animals

Many owners are fortunate to have dog-loving family and friends who know how to look after their dog and are prepared to do so. Alternatively, professional petsitters can move into your home to take care of them.

Many owners of small pets, such as hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, mice and rabbits, ask a friend or neighbour to look after their pet during the holidays.

Write down your pet’s usual routine and food requirements, because these can be difficult for someone else to remember.

A stay in kennels is another option. It is essential to check out the kennels before booking to make sure they are licensed, clean and that the dogs are well cared for.

Make sure the carer has met your pet and will spend time grooming, playing with and generally fussing over them! You can leave a list of your pet’s likes and dislikes, too.

Your dog will need up-to-date vaccinations to stay in kennels and your dog’s vaccination record will be checked. Any dietary considerations or medical problems and treatment should be discussed with the kennels staff before you make the booking.

Taking your pets on holiday

Ask about exercise and feeding routines and take some familiar bedding, toys and food with you, to help your dog settle in.

Cats

You may decide to ask trusted family members or friends to pop in and care for your cat overnight.

For longer breaks it is best to use the security of petsitters or a licensed cattery.

The best catteries fill up quickly, especially during the school holidays, so early booking is essential. Your cat won’t be accepted into a reputable cattery unless it has up-to-date vaccinations and you’ll be asked to show your cat’s current vaccination record.

Visit the cattery yourself before booking to make sure you’re happy with it.

22 SIMPLY SPALDING www.simply-spalding.co.uk

Many people wouldn’t dream of going on holiday without their dogs. But there are a few things you need to consider before you set off.

Unfamiliar surroundings Remember that your pet is on unfamiliar territory, and may easily become lost or disoriented. It is always best to keep a dog on a lead until you have both become familiar with the area.

Also, ensure that your dog has an identification tag and is microchipped.

23 High Street, Spalding PE11 1TX Tel: 01775 713005 www.rookespetproducts.co.uk

Hidden hazards

Wherever you are, always check for hazards that could injure your pet, including barbed wire, broken glass, poisonous plants, chemicals, busy roads or unfenced cliffs.

Accommodation

Many hotels and campsites will accept dogs, but you must check this first, and book early. They may charge extra if your dog comes with you.

Some coach, rail, ferry and air travel companies will also accept dogs, but require that you make special arrangements to transport them. It pays to find out about these details well in advance.

Beach safety

Holiday checklist

Every year the papers cover stories of dogs accidentally falling from cliffs or getting swept out to sea. They can also cut their paws on broken glass, or injure themselves by fetching sticks rather than Frisbees or suitably-sized balls.

•

A trip to the seaside can be full of hidden hazards for your pet.

Often dogs may only be allowed to walk on the beach outside the holiday season, and even then, only on a lead.

Sunburn

Like humans, pets need protection from intense sunshine. Protect the nose, ear tips and any white or hairless parts of cats or dogs with high factor pet sun cream.

Try not to exercise pets during the hottest hours of the day but instead early in the morning or in the evening. Encourage pets to seek shade and never leave a dog tied up in the sun.

Heading overseas

If you are planning to take your pet overseas, this requires a great deal of planning, preparation and paperwork.

• • • • • •

•

Check kennels and catteries for yourself; make sure they are clean and well run and staff are friendly and helpful.

Pack some of your pet’s favourite toys and a familiar blanket may help them settle into their holiday home.

Always carry a supply of water for your pet on long car journeys.

Schedule in a number of stops for your dog to exercise on the lead.

Check with coach, train, ferry and air travel companies on any regulations they have for pets in transit.

To apply for a pet passport, confirm with DEFRA or your vet that the PETS scheme includes the country you are planning on travelling to and start the application process months before you are due to leave.

To find a dog sitter in your area, contact the National Association of Registered Petsitters on 0845 230 8544, visit www.dogsit.com or ask Rooke’s staff in store for recommendations.

Don’t assume that your pet insurance covers accidents and illness overseas.

Most pet insurance policies only cover pets while they are in the UK. Check your policy before you go!

r u o Y n i s ’ t a h W ? h c i w d San From the 16th – 21st May it was British Sandwich Week; a week for us to celebrate the Great British Sandwich – what did you do?

Believe it or not, the word ‘sandwich’ is said to be an English invention. The story goes that in the eighteenth century the 4th Earl of Sandwich demanded that his slices of beef were served between two chunks of bread, as a way of saving time and stopping his hands from getting greasy while playing cards. It can’t be claimed that the Earl invented the concept of the sandwich, but it’s thought that this forward thinking led to the naming of the sandwich.

So what do you have in your sandwiches today?

Perhaps the dependable cheese and pickle sandwich or maybe you’ve gone for traditional ham? Or perhaps you’re a tuna fan, much to your work colleagues’ delight? According to the British Sandwich Association, 3.2 billion sandwiches leave the home in packed lunches each year!

Get Creative

If you’re the one who starts to dread their packed lunch as 12 o’clock approaches and then ducks out to visit the vending machine, perhaps it’s time to try something different. Some of our favourites include leftover meat ball and roasted pepper salsa wraps; toasted sandwiches smothered in cream cheese with sliced pepper and cucumber; ham and pineapple sandwiches; bagels filled with avocado, tomato and fromage frais; roasted vegetable stuffed pitas; grated cheese, apple and carrot torpedos; and, for the really brave, cheese and pink grapefruit marmalade sandwiches.

Tips for Fussy Eaters

If you’ve got fussy eaters in the house, creativity is the key. Try making sandwiches that incorporate exciting colours, but be sure to keep the fillings simple and with smooth textures for easy eating. For younger children, you could try cutting out exciting shapes from the bread. You might find it hard to get

the family to eat wholegrain breads – but what about wholegrain wraps? Or try bread varieties that are made from half white and half wholegrain flour as a compromise.

Share Your Sandwiches

If you’ve got a creative sandwich recipe to share, why not send it to us? We’ll put our favourites on the recipe section at www.simply-spalding.co.uk and www. simply-holbeach.co.uk. Email us with your sandwich recipes at info@simply-spalding.co.uk Check out the official British Sandwich Week website at www.britishsandwichweek.com for inspirational sandwich fillings. You can even vote for your favourite new sandwich.

Go on, try a new sandwich today!

For 2011 we got into the spirit of things in the Simply office - everyone made their favourite sandwich to share with the team. A great way for us to celebrate this humble food item and exchange ideas - because let’s face it, sometimes making the same old sandwiches day in and day out can get a little boring.

To help you put the spring back into your sandwich, we’ve come up with some ideas to get you started….

Old Favourites

Sometimes we can forget how good these are - and how economical they can be if we’re prepared to get organised in the kitchen. Using up the meat left over from meal times we’ve got options ranging from bbq beef sandwiches and cold sausage baguettes, to pork and stuffing rolls, coronation chicken wraps and salmon and cucumber stuffed pitas. check out the new site for local residents, find local businesses, advice, events, items for sale and exclusive offers

Home & Property

Preparing your house for sale – exterior space and kerb appeal O nce you have made the decision to sell your property you have to be of the mind-set that your home is no longer your personal space. It is now a product that needs presenting at its best in order to maximise its saleability to potential buyers. Preparing your home for viewing can be quite a daunting task – especially if you don’t know what to do or where to start.

Why bother if you’re moving?

It’s important to remember that most people make a decision within the first sixty seconds of viewing a property, so first impressions really do count. Although some people can view a property and visualise themselves living there, some people need help to do this. Preparing your house for sale can be the difference between achieving a quick sale at your asking price and having to reduce the figure further down the line.

Contrary to belief, you do not have to spend thousands of pounds in order to transform your home. You just have to make sure your home appeals to its target audience, so with a little time and effort, and yes, perhaps a little money, you can soon have your house sold.

Where do you start?

Maintaining the outside space is something that is not often seen as a priority. If you are selling you need to ensure that the outside has as much appeal as the inside. You get one chance to impress a prospective owner so you need to make sure when they arrive outside your property, they like what they see. If they don’t, there’s a possibility that any chance of a sale will be lost before they’ve even stepped through the front door.

First things first!

Begin by checking out the competition. I would recommend that you do this exercise prior to calling the estate agents as it could make a difference to your asking price. Do you research and see what similar

by Sue Hessom

properties in and around your area are selling for. Go and have a look at them and check out their kerb appeal. Be critical and make a mental note of anything that would raise concerns to you as a potential buyer. Likewise note what things, if any make the property seem more appealing.

Now return home and do the same to yours – look at it unfavourably, through the eyes of a stranger. Notice those trivial imperfections that you’ve been walking past on a daily basis for the last three months - you can’t afford to ignore them any longer.

Starting ‘front of house’ check the following:Presentation – are the roof tiles, facia boards, guttering, fence and gate, paving slabs, garage door etc. all presented well and in a good state of repair?

Cleanliness – are the windows and doors clean? Is there any peeling paintwork that needs attention?

Tidiness – does the lawn need mowing? Are the hedges trimmed? Have the weeds been removed and gravel raked?

Clutter – is the area free from rubbish, old plant pots, dustbins and dog mess? Do any children’s toys or bikes need collecting and putting away?

Decoration –do you need to replace any window dressings? Is the house numbered and do the doorbell and exterior lights work?

Appeal – do you have any? Invest in a new front door mat if yours is looking tatty and treat yourself to some nice plotted plants to go either side of the door and if space allows consider a couple of hanging baskets.

Now the back

All the rules for ‘front of the house’ still apply but the garden itself should be viewed as an extension of your home, so try to create an outdoor area that is nice and peaceful; a place where you can sit and relax, play with children or simply entertain friends. This doesn’t mean you have to call in Ground Force for a total revamp; you simply need to highlight its best features.

Having total privacy from you neighbours is a good start. Ensure the fencing and shed are in good order and freshly painted. Clean any decking or patio areas, thoroughly removing any moss or weeds. Invest in some new patio furniture if yours is out-dated so that viewers may be encouraged to sit outside if it’s warm. If you have a water feature or external lighting, make sure they’re working before you are asked to turn them on. Maintain the lawn and borders ensuring any dog poo is picked up and disposed of. Make sure the washing line is not in use or left out. And if your borders are a little bare, invest in some potted plants – they will create great visual interest and you will be able to take them with you when you move.

Keeping Your Elderly Family Members Safe

Family Life

by Hayley Willerton

For many families with an elderly loved one, the potential for injury while they are home alone is all too real. With the trend of “aging at home” on the rise, families and home carers are looking for reliable, affordable ways to ensure that the ones we love are safe at all times.

For some, hiring a home carer is the best option. These carers either live at home to ensure round the clock care, or come throughout the course of the day to check in and take care of tasks that elderly people cannot take care of themselves, such as certain cleaning duties. Live-at-home carers are a good choice for families who are extremely busy and unable to provide the necessary assistance to their elderly family member. Additionally, these carers are helpful when the family member has certain conditions which require 24 hour supervision and assistance, such as mobility issues or conditions like Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Another option, for people who remain healthy and active in their older years, is to purchase a home medical alert system. The purpose of senior alert systems is to provide a quickly accessible method of alerting the emergency services of any problems your loved one may have. Although many people opt out of purchasing an alert system because they rely on telephones, the benefit of a medical alert device over a phone is that, since the device is worn on the body, it is immediately accessible. This is particularly helpful because when someone has an accident in an area of the house without a phone, or they are rendered immobile due to a fall

or other situation, they can simply press the button on either their medical alert bracelet or necklace which will immediately alert the company providing the service of their situation and send out an ambulance if needed.

Typically, senior family members prefer a medical alert device as it affords them more independence than a home carer; however, it is ultimately up to the family to decide together which arrangement provides the best care for their loved ones. A live-in carer should be a priority for senior citizens with more severe conditions, but for those who are still healthy and active a medical alert device will usually suffice, especially for those who are still cared for by family regularly. The constant availability of aid provided by these services is a huge reassurance to family members who, for one reason or another, cannot provide the round the clock care their loved ones require and deserve. With the help of a medical alert service, you know your elderly family members can get help in any situation, giving them the safety and confidence to continue living alone, and giving you the peace of mind knowing that they will be taken care of 24 hours a day.

Motoring

By Tim Barnes-Clay - barnesclay.media@gmail.com

Audi A1 THE AUDI A1 looks set to continue its dominance of the awards circuit as it celebrates its fifth title of the year – Best Small Car at the 2011 Fleet World Honours, which were held recently.

The A1’s Best Small Car Fleet World award joins the prestigious Car of the Year and Supermini of the Year awards from What Car? magazine, Best Small Hatchback from Parkers New Car Awards and Best Luxury Small Car from the CarBuyer Awards.

Audi’s success with the A1 could be down to its sheer good looks, but I suspect it’s more to do with the brand’s reputation for attention to detail and quality. It might not be the cheapest supermini, but Audis are always strong performers on the used market – and

that will balance the books.

Prices for the A1 start from £13,420 and go to £20,710 for the top of the range 1.4 TFSI 182bhp model.

My test model was the 1.4 TFSI 120bhp Sport S tronic, with an on the road price of £17,120.

However, a list of options fitted to the press demo, including heated door mirrors, electric climate control, and multi-function steering wheel with gear shift-paddles inflated the cost to over £18k.

It’s obvious that Audi is chasing a modern customer group with the new car. The German firm admits it is targeting a young, urban, lifestyle-oriented public. It makes sense; there was gap in the market for Audi and it has plugged it. It is the first premium car in the subcompact segment – a true, fully-fledged Audi – with sporting good looks.

The interior of the A1 is surprisingly roomy with a clean, clear control layout. Modern materials and colours emphasise the youthful character of the A1 and Audi even offers colourcustomisation - from the air vents to the LED interior lights and seats.

There are even a variety of paint finishes from which to choose for the roof arch.

36 SIMPLY SPALDING www.simply-spalding.co.uk

The only drawback is the boot. It is small, and it backs up what Audi says about its target market. No family, or even a single parent, is going to get their young child’s pushchair and paraphernalia in there. Even if you’re without kids, a big shop will probably overwhelm the boot’s capacity.

Behind the wheel, the agile chassis and the powerful 1.4 TFSI engine makes for a very satisfying drive. The steering is ultra-direct and, thanks to excellent weight distribution, and good electronic stabilisation gadgetry, the handling is precise and safe.

The new A1 also sets new efficiency standards. For instance, the 120bhp TFSI engine follows the downsizing principle – it substitutes turbocharging for displacement and draws its fuel through direct injection units. With a 0-62mph sprint of 8.9 seconds, a top speed of 126mph and fuel consumption averaging 54.3mpg, you realise the technology isn’t just hype.

The A1 is available with the seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission, which shifts very quickly, comfortably and with no detectable interruption to the flow of power.

Operated automatically or manually, the S tronic ‘box adds another layer of pleasure to what is an already fun car to drive. It also has another plus point – it further reduces fuel consumption. Apart from a bigger boot, and maybe a lower price-tag, could you ask for more?
