Finally Spring is here and hopefully better weather is around the corner, as I write this it is rainy, grey and miserable but hopefully in a few weeks the brighter days will be here - hooray! This issue is full of Spring inspiration for the garden, for the home as we all think about Spring

shops this year. In total 18,000 votes were cast for many hundreds of different shops across the country.

The idea to shift the focus of the awards to small players was inspired by Ms Portas, a Telegraph columnist. She said: “Let’s give a shout to those unique retailers who really give our high streets their special identities and who’ve had to work so much harder than the big boys to stay afloat these past 12 months.”

Mary Portas, retail consultant and television presenter, celebrated the resilience of the High Street on Feb 10th, by highlighting the country’s flourishing independent shops at the Telegraph’s Best Small Shops in Britain Awards.

Christine Hanson who is the both the brains and the face of Bookmark commented “We could not have got so far without the dedicated team of staff that I have and of course the customers who voted for us. My sincere thanks go out to everyone who voted and all the dedicated work of the Bookmark team”

Coming to a Community Near You New classes in anything from art to flower arranging, from computers to new age kurling, could be coming to a centre near you.

More than a dozen community rooms scattered through South Holland could soon be hosting morning and evening sessions in a wide range of activities under a new scheme due to be launched this spring.

South Holland District Council is joining forces with Lincolnshire Active Community Network, which aims to provide extra activities for all age groups.

The venues will be the 14 community rooms in the area’s sheltered housing schemes. They are already used for a range of activities by residents and other over 60s but usually in the afternoons.

“It’s an exciting idea to make greater use of the rooms and to widen the scope so that other people will be able to take part in activities,” said Cllr Amanda Puttick, South Holland District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Healthy Communities.

“The residents’ usual activities will not be affected and, of course, they will be able to join in any new classes or courses that are provided.

Its plans include activities like art classes, exercise, yoga and samba dancing. It would also allow outside groups to hire rooms for meetings or classes of their own.

Red Lion Quarter UPDATE!

Red Lion Quarter what a transformation!

H

ave you taken a casual stroll down Red Lion Street lately? No, well you should. Say goodbye to the ugly, old, derelict buildings, the litter strewn wasteland and the depressing sensation of slow decline that the area used to portray.

Welcome to a brand new food heritage centre, the ‘Red Lion Quarter’, revitalising the area, breathing life and vitality into Spalding’s central commercial district.

Planning for the development took place at the beginning of the economic downturn. Too ambitious it was said and many others thought it was a pipedream! Against all odds, here the completed development stands, a proud monument to the successful partnership between South Holland District Council, Lincolnshire County Council, East Midlands Development Agency, Lincolnshire Enterprise and, of course, Boston College.

Opening its doors on the 5th of April, the multi-use building stands polished with the finishing touches and the commissioning of the building concluded in early February, importantly on time and on budget. Even the street has been completely refurbished generating an uplifting impression, but the experience doesn’t finish there...

Do not be fooled by the Red Lion Quarter’s external appearance, it has the wow factor. The airy atrium just breaths space, with natural light cascading

from above. A welcoming reception is ensured by the friendly centre’s staff.

Investigate the large ‘Food Court’, a hive of activity, with shoppers browsing and enjoying the delights of specially selected, high quality Lincolnshire and regional food products, whilst also being tempted by the purpose-built, open plan, specialist retail shops.

The ‘Sage’ restaurant offers clients a multi-layered experience. During the day, sample professionally made, specialist coffees, tea and a selection of lovingly made light bites. Sit down and relax in the cosmopolitan atmosphere and take lunch, all freshly prepared using the best locally sourced ingredients which are served by friendly College staff and students. Yes, that’s right College staff and their catering Apprentices; ‘Sage’ is a new concept training restaurant supporting tomorrow’s chefs today right before your own eyes. So you will not be the only one benefitting: you receive excellent and realistically priced refreshments whilst the apprentices gain practical commercial work experience, helping them prepare for the real world.

In the evening ‘Sage’ transforms itself, so book early to avoid missing the quality ‘fine dining’ experience that Boston College is renowned for.

You may even catch a glimpse of Jason Atherton, a Michelin star chef and former Boston College catering student, who pops in, supporting our industry trained staff and students, demonstrating his internationally recognised culinary skills. And that’s only the ground floor!

The second floor offers employers and residents a state-of-the-art training facility on their door step, providing a range of commercial, vocational, occupational short courses with a varied selection of full time courses available later in September, all supported by Boston College.

The spacious, fully-equipped conference and meeting room facilities can also be found on the second floor, with specifically designed, open plan break out areas to suit clients relaxation needs.

These are available to rent from as little as £100 per half day session.

Local companies and flourishing businesses can not only take advantage of the superb central location, but also of the modern fully managed office facilities, some complete with outdoor terraces and private meeting rooms. All twelve occupy the top floor of this plush building and provide grand views across Spalding.

In addition to all these exciting facilities, the construction of the Red Lion Centre has provided several local companies with employment, residents with jobs and developmental spending reaching an amazing £2.1 million in and around a 20 mile radius of Spalding... and all this during a recession.

We hope you have taken all that in, there are so many benefits and so much to enjoy, for all ages and all personalities, Red Lion Quarter has brought Spalding something for everyone. We hope you will be visiting us soon and supporting a new local business.

Advice

REDUNDANCY RIGHTS A

t South Holland Citizens Advice Bureau we have seen a large increase in the number of clients enquiring about employment problems and, in particular, about their rights on redundancy, as more and more employers have had to make job cuts in order to survive the recession.

to follow special, additional procedures. If your employer doesn’t follow the proper procedures, the dismissal may be unfair and you could get compensation.

Your pension won’t be affected. You’ll still get your pension when you reach retirement age or when your employment contract says you will.

Time off to look for another job

You might need advice about any debts you might have and how to budget to avoid future debt. If you are buying something on credit, check whether you’ve got a payment protection insurance policy that will pay off the credit if you are made redundant.

What is redundancy?

Redundancy pay

Redundancy means that you are sacked because your job is no longer needed. This can happen if the business: • goes bust • closes down • moves to another area • has changed the way it does things.

If you’re told that you are being made redundant, but think that none of the above circumstances apply, it may be that the dismissal is unfair. If you think this has happened, you could make a claim to an employment tribunal and you should get advice. You can get advice from your trade union, if you belong to one. There’s a strict time limit if you want to do this. This is usually three months minus one day from the date of your dismissal.

Deciding who to make redundant

When employers are choosing who to make redundant, they must make the decision in a fair way. They mustn’t discriminate against anyone. For example, they aren’t allowed to choose you for redundancy because of your age.

However, they may be allowed to take into account how long you’ve been working for them. If you think you have been unfairly chosen for redundancy, get advice.

Offering you another job

Your employers might offer you another job instead of making you redundant. This has got to be suitable for you and there are rules about what would be considered suitable. You could lose out on redundancy pay if you turn down a suitable job without a good reason; so get advice if you are thinking of doing this.

Notice of redundancy

When your employer makes you redundant, they must follow certain procedures. For example, they must give you notice of the redundancy. The minimum period of notice is: • one week if you have worked for your employer for one month but less than two years, or • two weeks if you have worked for your employer for two whole years; and • one additional week for each further whole year’s employment up to a maximum of twelve weeks’ notice in total.

Your employment contract might say that you must be given more notice than this, but it can’t be less. If there are more than 20 people being made redundant, your employer has

Once you’ve been given notice of redundancy, you may have the right to have time off to look for another job. Some of this time could be paid. You must have worked for your employer for at least two years to get time off, unless your contract says something else.

Once you’ve been made redundant, you may have a right to redundancy pay. Your employment contract might say how much redundancy pay you’ll get.

Otherwise, you’ll get a set amount of money (as long as you’ve worked for your employer for at least two years). This is called a statutory redundancy payment. How much you’ll get will depend on how long you’ve worked for your employer, your income and how old you are. There’s a limit on the amount of money you’ll get. This is currently £400 a week.

If your employer doesn’t give you the proper notice, you may also have the right to pay to compensate for the fact that you weren’t given notice, in addition to redundancy pay.

You should also get all the holiday pay due to you. If you have the right to a redundancy payment but your employer doesn’t give it to you, you should take out a grievance against them. You must do this in writing. If you still don’t get your money, you can make a claim to an employment tribunal. If your employer has gone bust, you could get a payment from the government. There are time limits within which you must take action, so don’t delay, and get advice if you need to.

Money matters

If you have been made redundant, and haven’t got another job to go to, you’ll need to think about your money situation.

You might get cash help from the government or local authority (benefits), depending on your circumstances. For example, you might get Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA), Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit, free school meals for your children and help with NHS costs.

You should claim benefits as soon as you can. To claim JSA, call 0800 055 6688. A redundancy payment might affect your right to claim benefits.

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

What next ?

If you’ve been made redundant, you might have options about what to do next.

For example, you could think about going self-employed or getting some further education or training. For further help and advice, you can contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau, or check out the website www. adviceguide. org.uk

Turn Back Time!

M

en and Women alike can be troubled with how they look as they age, and seek immediate results.There is a solution here in Spalding that is favoured by celebrities, is not painful and certainly does not inject the skin - it comes in the form of a relaxing massage!

OXYjet is a non-invasive but effective alternative to cosmetic surgery that combats the effects of ageing of the skin. This revolutionary procedure, loved by A Listers and billed as the Celebrity Facial, combines science and nature to painlessly reverse the ageing process with proven results.

This amazing treatment, known as Europe’s No1 Facial, works by using pure oxygen under pressure to pump a collagen stimulating serum, free radical correctors, vitamins A, C and E and a form of hyaluronic acid deep into the skin. This special cocktail of cosmetics contains substances naturally found in the skin of your youth, and thus the body biologically accepts it, filling wrinkles and plumping the skin.

This luxurious procedure means that lines are

Health & Beauty

smoothed away, the lip contour area is defined and the skin is rejuvenated and appears more youthful.

Being part of the OXYjet Set doesn’t stop at your face. Not only can you reduce dark circles and puffiness around your eyes, or enhance and plump your lips; But there is also a natural fabulous bust lift and an anticellulite treatment both with proven results as alternatives to cosmetic procedures; perfecting the body contours, giving a softness and suppleness to the muscle tone, therefore, smoothing out the silhouette under that all important little black dress.

Now if all of that sounds good, then wait, because it just got better! OXYjet has recently launched the amazing new Star Machine, which incorporates the unique

OXYclear and OXYtone procedures. Previous to this breakthrough in beauty technology the only way to deeper cleansing was microdermabrasion.

OXYclear is the gentle but effective way to remove everyday pollutants from the skin, leaving it energized and glowing; whilst OXYtone lifts the non-surgical facelift into the New Millennium by giving those facial muscles the workout they need to smooth, firm and lift without the need to use electricity. Excited yet....you should be!

To book your appointment at OXYjet Uk’s Headquarters call 01775 722243.

The Second largest Optical chain on our High Street If you have noticed changes happening in Bridge Street recently it may be the change of name of one of our long standing shops from D&A to Boots Opticians.

Boots Opticians was formed in 1983, with the first Optical Services practice opening in Nottingham, this was followed in 1984 by a further 5 stores: Peterborough, Leeds, Mansfield, Luton and Derby.

Since then they went on to expand to 286 practices nationwide offering a wide range of services, including eye examinations, digital retinal photography, glasses, contact lenses and accessories.

In the last year a lot has changed at Boots Opticians. Boots Opticians merged with Dollond & Aitchison Opticians in May 2009. Both businesses had a strong heritage and an excellent reputation for service, customer care and quality products, which provided a great opportunity to combine these strengths and offer customers even better value for money, harnessing over 250 years of optical experience.

The combined business has around 690 branches and directly employs more than 5,000 people. You can rest assured although now part of a larger chain the same fantastic, personal level of service will still be on offer in the Bridge Street store.

We have teamed up with Boots Opticians to give you the opportunity to win free spectacles upto the value of £150!

Health & Beauty Crystal of the Month Rhodonite Susan Yoxall of Fenchancements introduces us to a new crystal

A very pretty stone of veined pink, rhodonite has a calming effect that balances your emotions and nurtures love for ourselves and those around us.

It can help with confidence issues and reduce the mental confusion that can accompany anxiety.

As a spiritual stone, rhodonite is said to enhance meditations, helping to raise your vibrations. It is said to help the feelings of abandonment and betrayal from past lives, but also to ease the anger of abuse and emotional selfdestruction which causes inner panic.

As a healing stone it has many properties. It is used to aid bone growth, joint inflammation and to reduce the pain of arthritis.

Rhodonite can help with stimulating the vibrations within our ears helping us to hear well. It can also stimulate fertility and help with the treatment of stomach ulcers. Rhodonite is beneficial to those who suffer with COPD (emphysema), autoimmune diseases and multiple sclerosis.

A talented stone with such a delicate appearance, just like you!

Making Fairtrade Treats...

Nutty Chocolate & Coffee Brownies We are now in the middle of a worldwide celebration and awareness drive of Fairtrade produce, we wondered how much do you know about the campaigns, what is fairtrade and how can you individually help?

What is Fairtrade?

Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices which must never fall lower than the market price, Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.

What is the Fairtrade Foundation?

The Fairtrade Foundation is a development organisation committed to tackling poverty and injustice through trade, and the UK member of Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO). The Foundation works with businesses, civil society organisations and individuals to improve the position of producer organisations.

How Can I help?

If you run a business and would like to stock Fairtrade products, visit www. fairtrade.org.uk to find a list of wholesale suppliers.

If you are personally passionate about Fairtrade produce then look out got the Fairtrade logo and if your local shops aren’t stocking products why not make suggestion to the store manager?!

Did You Know...

• There are 3,000 Fairtrade certified products for sale through retail and catering outlets in the UK. • The UK fairtrade market is doubling in value every 2 years • The UK is one of the world’s leading Fairtrade markets, with more products and more awareness of Fairtrade than anywhere else.

• Around 20% of roast and ground coffee, and 20% of bananas sold in the UK are now Fairtrade.

r e n r o C s ’ t Pe A furbulous makeover for your home and pet this spring!

As flowers begin to bloom and buds appear on the trees, it is the season to shake out the mats, dust off the old mop and grab the marigolds for a touch of spring cleaning. And this year why not add your pet to the list of things to be spruced up!

Indoor clean up Beddng Your pet probably spends most of its time indoors. Clean up his digs by refreshing his favourite places including his bed, kennel or favourite napping spot. Vacuum to remove hair and dirt, then launder blankets or bedding and throw away any worn items that need replacing.

Shedding Pet hair tops the list of most difficult pet messes to rid from the home. Did you know around 62% of pet owners would give up a small luxury, for their pet never to shed again? To tackle pet hair in your home, you can buy vacuum cleaners specially designed to remove it or for a quick clean up a pet hair broom is advisable – most have adjustable rubber bristles that work like magnets on pet hair.

Rooke’s recommends: CarPet Hair Remover and Mikki Pet Hair Magnet

“Did you know around 62% of pet owners would give up a small luxury, for their pet never to shed again?”

Toys

Throw away any toys that are permanently soiled, damaged or simply ignored by your pet. Gather any plush toys and launder them so they’re fresh and fluffy again. And hand-wash any plastic or rubber toys too.

If your pet has lots of toys, you can rotate them weekly to keep your pet interested. You might also keep a set of durable, Kong type or rope toys for outdoor playtime and keep the soft, squeaky plush toys inside so they last longer.

Rooke’s recommends: Kong Classic toys and Ancol Wise Monkey Carpets and upholstery

Unfortunately, your carpet and furnishings can harbour smells from small pet toilet accidents. If they aren’t cleaned up effectively, odours may live to haunt your otherwise tidy home. Cat urine is especially prone to linger because it is much more concentrated and likely to stain than dog urine; cats tend to drink less water than dogs!

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

For any toilet incident clean-ups, tend to the scene of the crime pronto!

Absorb as much of the moisture as possible with old towels – being careful to blot instead of rub – before applying a cleaning solution.

Rooke’s recommends: Pet Wizard Stain and Odour Remover RTU

Outdoor clean up Now that the weather is starting to improve and buds are ready to bloom, give your garden and patio a good once-over to check for things you wouldn’t want your pet to get hold of.

Eliminate rubbish or debris that has blown into the garden, pick up any dead critters that your pet might want to roll in and look for holes in the fence or hedging to prevent Rex or Fluffy from escaping.

Pet clean up Mini physical Give your pet’s body the once over. Check his ears and eyes for inflammation or infection and look at his nails and between his toes for lumps or scabs. If anything looks unusual, take him to see a veterinarian.

“There’s no time like spring for a top-to-toe scrub up!”

Collar/Tags How long has your pet been wearing that collar? Does it still fit properly? Is it dirty or worn out? If so, wash it or throw it away. Also be sure to clean or replace identification tags that may be worn.

There’s no time like spring for a top-to-toe scrub up.

Give your dog or cat a good bath, trim his nails and brush his coat regularly. Brushing is a great bonding experience and should become a daily or weekly habit, particularly if your pet has a long coat prone to tangles and matting.

Rooke’s recommends: FURminators and Ancol’s range of grooming products Spay/Neuter

Finally, springtime is the season of love - and the height of the dog and cat breeding season! Thousands of pets end up in shelters each year because there are simply not enough homes for all of them. Please have your pet spayed or neutered to prevent unwanted litters.

Happy spring cleaning!

CREATE YOUR OWN WILDLIFE GARDEN THIS SPRING!

Nature

By Jeremy Eyeons, Member South Lincs R.S.P.B.Group With Spring hopefully not too far away now,perhaps this is an opportune time to give thought to a garden project this year.You can plant all kinds of trees,shrubs and flowers that will attract birds and wildlife into your garden throughout the year.

The blooms of Buddleia (the butterfly bush) will attract bees,hoverflies,and butterflies such as peacock,tortoiseshell,red admiral and whites. A mature hawthorn hedge provides foods and shelter for many insects and garden birds.

Blackbirds,starlings,thrushes and finches relish the autumn haws.

There are many different varieties of honeysuckle and its a makes a great addition to your wildlife garden,attracting bees,butterflies and moths which drink the nectar.Thrushes and warblers eat the soft red berries and robins and blue tits often nest in mature shrubs. Other useful plants include ivy,rowan trees,holly bushes and not forgetting daisies,dandylions and thistles which also provide nectar for insects and autumn seeds for birds!

The South Lincs.Group Of The R.S.P.B. was founded in May 1987 and is run by a group of volunteers to promote the work of the RSPB and for the enjoyment of members and all nature lovers locally.Though based in Boston,our membership covers the whole of South Lincolnshire and to date we have contributed

approximately £60000 to RSPB conservation projects,with much of this spent locally in the county.The Group has over 300 members who receive a regular newsletter and are able to enjoy a wide range of organised events which are of interest to anyone from beginner to expert.

Please visit www.southlincsrspb.org.uk for further information.

Why Not Join in?

The South Lincs R.S.P.B. Group have announced details of their 2011 birdwatching cruises,and the programme of 14 cruises starts on 13th april ending 22nd october.Each cruise is aboard “the boston belle”and lasts 4/5 hours.We board the boat (with refreshments and toilet facilities) at bostons sluice bridge,and travel down to the mouth of the haven and out into the wash.Our return journey then takes us along the welland before returning to boston.In 2010 we saw over 100 bird species with about 60 per cruise.Basking seals are also seen on most cruises.

Everybody is welcome,but seats must be booked in advance and further details can be found at www. southlincsrspb.org.uk or by calling 07531 495521 to check availability.

Garden Ready Getting the

by Kate Gibbard

According to the Met Office, spring officially starts on the 1st March. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m not totally convinced that spring is actually here yet, although it does feel as though winter is at last loosening its tight grip on the garden. Already the snowdrops are coming through - life is finally returning!

garden down into sections, you can make a start at beating back those unwelcome intruders.

• Do a quick check of your fences and gates – have they survived the winter? Do they need a repair?

• If you’re feeling full of energy, scrub down the glasshouse and get it in order ready for your seed sowing.

• Check your gardening tools and take the lawn mower for a service.

Birds

In anticipation of the good weather to come, we’ve put together some ideas to help you get the garden ready for spring.

• In readiness for new birds into your garden, clean out and repair the nesting boxes in your garden. Fix new nesting boxes in suitable places.

Tidying up

Lawncare

• After a wild, snowy winter, it’s time to give the garden a thorough clean up from one end to the other. High winds and frosts may have caused damage to plants, shrubs and even trees, so remove any broken branches, snapped stalks and dead plants – as well as any stray debris that’s found its way into your garden. You can pile all the organic matter into your compost bin if you have one – you’ll have some great fertile soil to add to your flower beds later in the year, and nothing will go to waste!

• If you don’t have a compost bin, think about getting one.

They range from inexpensive plastic bins to more fancy wooden styles. There are even wormeries for those that want to get really close to nature!

• After months of freezing temperatures, the flower beds and vegetable plots will need an overhaul. Take a fork to the soil and gently turn the earth over - but be careful not to pull up bulbs or damage roots to existing plants. By turning over the soil, you’ll be getting air to the roots and helping with the general breakdown of matter. You may like to start adding a good fertiliser to the soil too.

• Take a look at any shrubs, trees, climbers or established roses that you have - if they need pruning, now is the time to get shaping.

• Unfortunately, you also need to start that never ending task that keeps you fit - weeding! If you break the

• March is classed as the start of a new year for lawns, and as such your lawn will be starting to demand some of your attention. Firstly, clear the lawn of any rubbish and then rake away the moss and dead grass (you can put the dead grass and leaves on your compost heap, but a word of warning with moss though. There appears to be two schools of thought on this; some say it’s okay to add, and others advise against it.

Check with your local garden centre specialists for professional advice. You will also need to dig out any weeds. Once the weather gets dry enough you will be able to edge the lawn and mow it - although the first ‘cut’ of the year should only take the top of the grass off, otherwise you can cause damage.

You can also begin a regular process of adding lawn feed to ensure your lawn gets all the nutrients it needs to keep it looking healthy through the warm summer.

Bulbs

Look at the flowering bulbs in the garden. Do any need moving or grouping together for next year’s showcase? Do you have any gaps? Make a note of where there are gaps and move bulbs when the foliage has died back (in the case of snowdrops through, you’ll need to move when they’re still in the ‘green’ – just as they finish flowering.).

The same rule applies to your herbaceous plants -

plants that need dividing in established borders can be lifted and replanted in a new location.

Houseplants

If you don’t have a garden, there is still work to do inside the house. Now that temperatures are increasing, your plants will start to grow more and will need more water. You’ll also need to check on the quality of the compost and whether your plants need re-potting.

Come one, what are you waiting for?

If that sounds like a lot to do, remember that the really keen gardeners will also be sowing seeds and planting - March is the start of a busy time for gardening. It doesn’t matter how much you do, as long as you enjoy yourself. With the sun shining (fingers crossed) and the fresh air around you, there is no better way to keep you fit.

Happy gardening!

We have teamed up with Dorling Kindersley who are working with the experts from The Royal Horticultural society to give you the change to win a copy of RHS How Does My Garden Grow?

Worth £9.99 and published on 1st April 2011, the book features over thirty projects to get children out in the garden and learning through having fun.

Home & Property

Make an entrance We welcome our family and friends into our homes

By Sue Hessom of Tidy Interiors through the hallway. As it’s the first internal part of our home that they see it’s important that it gives the right impression. Too many people neglect this space with the excuse - ‘its just a walkthrough’. It might be just a walkthrough, but a badly designed hallway can leave your home feeling unwelcome, no matter what design surprises you may have hidden behind closed doors.

H

allways come in various shapes and sizes and can be one of the hardest areas to decorate successfully, so give your design ideas some serious thought and do some research. Once you have an idea of the image you want to achieve, stand at your front door to visualise exactly how you are going to create your look.

Colours

Remember that there are no rules when it comes to decorating your home, so don’t be afraid to inject some of your personality into your hall area. Many people still choose white walls to help keep the space light and airy, but with high traffic volume the walls can soon start to look shabby and dirty, so only opt for white walls if you are happy to maintain them. Instead, why not consider painting the hallway two colours - one dark, one light. Paint all the walls that are left facing; light, and all the right facing ones; dark - this will not only add visual interest but will help to create a feeling of warmth and open space.

If you are adamant in having wallpaper in your hallway, why not try something different? Find a wallpaper that reflects you and put it on the stair wall only. Then add some framed pieces of the wallpaper to the opposite wall - not only will this will look fantastic but the overall effect will not be too heavy.

Flooring

Think about the volume of traffic and how much cleaning will be required when considering which flooring to choose. If you are having carpet make sure you get a hardwearing, stain resistant one with good underlay. You don’t have to choose a dark carpet, just make sure you have the facility for people to wipe their feet properly before they enter. If you are opting for a wooden or tiled floor, a non-slip door mat is essential and remember, only use a runner if it is necessary and there are no tripping hazards.

Function

Next regard the function of the area - have you got room for furniture or storage items? Consider this carefully as the last thing you want is for people to struggle getting in or out of your home.

Console tables can look nice in a hallway and are functional for displaying fresh flowers and storing post and keys - just make sure your purchase the right size and don’t go too big. If you are struggling to find one that meets your needs, why not consider making one yourself? Likewise, if you want coats and shoes to be stored search the internet for some clever storage solutions - there are plenty out there that are multi-functional and take up minimal space.

Lighting

If you have natural light coming into the hallway, try not to block it out. Think about

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

your window coverings and try to keep them to a minimum. However, if you like the idea of heavy curtains, design it so they can be pulled back during the day to let the light flood in. If you have no natural light, consider replacing full wooden internal doors with half glass ones - you will be surprised at the difference it makes.

If you have a high ceiling then don‘t be afraid to showcase a stunning chandelier.

If not, think about adding spot lights to the ceiling and stairs, or use a couple of strategically placed lamps to add an array of artificial light.

Finishing Touches

Accessories should always complement your décor. Mirrors are brilliant for reflecting natural light and will help any area look wider. Display some unusual pieces of art to get people talking, or use black and white photographs in the same finished frames; or a themed display of pictures to generate an area of interest.

Finally, think about the small finishing touches that will complete your look and help create that wow factor - replace boring white plastic light switches and plug sockets with trendy silver ones. And if you can’t afford to update your radiator, either paint it or consider purchasing a radiator cover.

visits to the seaside, start wearing floaty summer dresses and sandals and if you’re lucky enough venturing abroad for a much deserved holiday. There are plenty of us who feel healthier when our skin is tanned so whatever your plans are this summer ensure that you tan safely.

Safety in the Sun Tanning occurs when the skin absorbs UV rays to produce a substance called melanin, which darkens the outer layers of the skin. Whilst a tan may make us appear healthier it is actually a sign that the skin has been damaged. There is common myth that a sunburn will eventually fade into a tan. However sunburn is bunch of broken blood vessels that form the top of a tan and can have serious side effects including sunspots on the skin, lack of skin moisture and loss of elasticity.

Precautions: • Apply a sunscreen of at least SPF15 or SPF50 for kids • Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the UV rays are strongest • Ensure your sunscreen is waterproof & re-apply every 20 minutes • Wear light loose fitting clothes that aren’t transparent • Wear sunglasses that block UVA & UVB radiation Faking It The safest way to achieve that sun kissed look in the minimal amount of time is by faking it. Fake tan does not injure the skin and you can choose which shade you wish to go. You will however still need to apply sun protection when stepping out as you are still likely to burn. Fake tan has come a long way. Gone are the days of looking as though you’ve been tango-ed. Nowadays they are more sophisticated and the products smell pleasant. There are plenty of professional tanning brands available it’s simply a matter of finding the one that works best for you.

There are a few things you can do beforehand to prepare your body for your tanning treatment, Ensure that you shave or wax at least 24 hours prior to treatment. Exfoliate the day before your treatment to remove any dead skin cells, paying particular attention to elbows, knees & heels. On the day of your treatment do not moisturise as this may cause patchiness Spray tans are applied by professional technicians using specialised equipment.

The process is quick to apply and dries almost instantly meaning no hanging around in your undies. The spray tan needs to develop for at least 6 hours following your treatment where the guide colour is then washed off in the shower to reveal your newly sunkissed body. The length of time a spray tan lasts depends on how well you look after it. Typically they will last anywhere from 1 -2 weeks. When you bathe or shower pat yourself dry rather than rub. Gently exfoliate every few days and apply a moisturiser daily.

At Oasis Beauty we have spray tanning promotions running throughout June to assist with your summer tanning needs.

pring is around the corner, and before it arrives and you consider the annual spring clean and possible redecoration – some home maintenance may be required.

On older properties a full inspection should be carried out taking an in depth look at the wiring, the Distribution Board, and full testing of all circuits etc.

Taking many hours on a 3 – 4 Bedroom house including testing smoke and heat detectors, on completion a full Periodic Inspection Certificate and Report (PIR) should be issued by all qualified electricians carrying out these inspections. The report should enable any other registered company to give a detailed quotation for any remedial works required. This could also be the best time to have that extra light or power points installed, or perhaps a replacement Distribution Board before any decorations are carried out.

About us K A Goulden Electrical Ltd were established in 1999 and currently have 10 full time employees all having been with the company for over 4 + years except the local grown apprentices, two joined last year – Nathan Mayfield and Matthew Parker. We have over a thousand positive Feedbacks from our customers these can be viewed at our offices by arrangement during normal office hours

We guarantee our work complies with the regulations and have insurance with the NICEIC for all our notified works.

We also guarantee all our works against defects parts and labour.

This maybe a simple visual inspection which is often classed as a free inspection, we go a little further and carry out additional testing with a test meter and inspect the inside of some sockets and switches and the Distribution board (fuse board) also checking the main earth etc. This we do make a charge for to cover our costs.

Family Life

Party planning checklist for busy mums Staying organised while you’re planning your child’s birthday party is easy with this sanity-saving checklist

Four weeks before the party...

• Choose a party theme with your child.

• Draw up the guest list. Enlist several adults to help the party run smoothly. For three to five year olds, ideally you’ll need around one adult for every four children, and for six to ten year olds, one adult for every six children.

• Pick the party date and time. Parties are generally one and a half to two and a half hours long.

Three weeks before the party...

• Make or buy the invitations and send them out.

• Make or buy decorations, party bags and prizes.

Two weeks before the party...

• Decide on activities and games to play. Consider the age of the children and plan games and activities accordingly. Plan more games than you expect to use, in case you run out of activities before the party is over.

• Plan your menu. Remember that parties are not a good time to introduce new foods to children. Serve familiar favourites.

• Arrange for extra help on the party day from friends or relatives.

One week before the party...

• Order cake from a bakery if you are not baking your own. Bake cake and freeze it, if making your own.

• Make any other foods that can be made ahead of time and store foods in the freezer.

One to two days before the party...

• Write out a final schedule of activities for the party.

• Buy remaining food for the party.

• Buy film and have the camcorder at the ready. Check batteries for the cameras.

• Finish decorating the cake, or pick up the cake from the bakery. Make sure you have plenty of candles and matches.

• Decorate any indoor areas (save outdoor decorating for the day of the party).

• Prepare food that can be made ahead of time.

The day of the party

• Prepare foods and drinks that could not be made ahead of time.

• Set up any outdoor decorations and craft areas.

• Plan a nap for your child and yourself, after the party!

• Remember, young guests will be excited and there are bound to be mishaps. Keep your sense of humour, and even if every aspect of the party doesn’t go as planned, the most important part is to enjoy your child’s big day.

CCORDING TO the Country Land and Business Association (CLA), more potholes are likely to be found on rural roads this year because of the bleak wintry conditions the UK has experienced.

However, if you’re driving an Alfa Romeo Giulietta, I wouldn’t worry. The car is so smooth and the suspension so good, you’ll hardly notice any potholes beneath you.

innovative shape. Behind the wheel, Alfa’s allnew Compact chassis provides the foundations for class-leading ride and handling. The car is responsive, with bags of energy and pulling power from low revs, while the steering is well-weighted and direct - just like you’d expect from a VW Golf or an Audi A3. And the Giulietta certainly delivers a driving experience reminiscent of those classy German hatches, but it does so in a package that has far more character.

The 1.4 TB MultiAir 170bhp in Lusso spec, on test here, is a striking car. It’s basically a VW Golf challenger, but with a refreshingly

Three high specification trims – Turismo, Lusso and Veloce offer customers maximum user-chooser flexibility, while the Cloverleaf

range-topping version has its own exclusive exterior and interior attributes. A host of cutting edge technological features are key to the Alfa Giulietta range, with advancements such as revolutionary performance engine technology in the form of MultiAir (petrol) and second generation MultiJet (diesel). But the icing on the cake is Alfa’s DNA system which customises the vehicle’s behaviour to suit road conditions and driving styles.

The latest Alfa Romeo is also pretty ‘green’ because the car comes with a standard Start&Stop system which guarantees improved fuel economy and, on this model, CO2 emissions are only 134 g/km. Other impressive benchmark features on the Giulietta include air conditioning, electric windows, LED lights and six airbags for maximum occupant safety. But that’s not all - the Giulietta has been awarded the exalted Euro NCAP five-star rating and an overall score of 87/100 - an amazing result that makes it the safest compact car ever.

Back on the pothole front, the CLA urges motorists, especially those on unlit country roads, to stay vigilant and report major potholes to the local council. But in my view, you’ll be so proud of your new Alfa Romeo that you won’t be on any dark rural roads in the first place – you’ll be too busy pampering the gorgeous Giulietta and making sure she’s tucked up safely in the garage at home.
