Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Paul Spiller feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although
that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Stroud and the surrounding valleys and
Paul is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family
of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!
STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING? Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

Five Valleys Hedgehog & Bird Rescue was founded in 2012 by Kate Goacher and offically opened on October 12th 2013. We are a small non speciest rescue situated in the small village of Thrupp, Gloucestershire. Our aim is to rescue, rehabilitate and release native wild hedgehogs and birds. Although we mainly deal with hedgehogs and birds, we never turn any species away. We have seen mice, squirrels, rabbits, slow worms, a bat, even a bearded dragon! come through our doors since we have been open. We are coming up to our busiest time of the year, the 'orphan season'. At this time of year we get many calls from concerned members of the public about baby birds, mainly fledglings. These are fully feathered with a stubby tail, they are not yet able to fly, but can run & hop, and are expert hiders. These MUST be left alone as the parents are often near by feeding & protecting them as much as possible. Fledglings get highly stressed when in a captive situation and will not take hand feeds so we always advise to leave them alone as it is a essential part of their development. If you are concerned then please watch from a far, the parents should come back and feed it. Only if you are 100% sure it has been orphaned then pick it up & call us. If you find a hatchling (bald, eyes closed & pink) or a nestlingalong) (feathers still pin,able they unable to walk but shuffle these areinnot toare defend themselves against predators & will quickly chill if left. shuffle along) these are not able to defend themselves Warm bird up & inwill a loose fist and againstthe predators quickly chillcontact if left. us asap.

nt pl e PeoJulian BAruccessibl air elch e h W
The early years I was born at Stroud Maternity Hospital and was the youngest of two sons to my late parents Joyce and Bill. We lived as a very close family in Rodborough until I left home at the age of twenty one. The only upheaval we made as a family was when at the age of five my brother Mark along with our parents moved from 76 Chandos Road‌...to number 82. I can still remember friends and neighbours wheeling sack trucks full of our worldly possessions downhill (thankfully) to our new home. My youth was spent largely outside as I was vey much a sports mad child. It was never an issue pushing our bikes up through Kingscourt and on past Rodborough Fort to the Lonely Tree where the jumpers became goal posts for endless hours of fun. I have recently pushed my mountain bike on that same route and do not remember it being that steep! Your memories of school I enjoyed school and the only shock I had was when I realised that I wasn't going to play rugby for England and might have to find my own way in life after all ! ! It all began at Kingscourt School until Gastrells School was built and after a brief spell there I moved on to Highwood School in Forest Green. I left there with two O Levels and a spirit level and this for me is where it all began . . . . . . . . . Tell us about the jobs you have had Considering I had not planned for the 'great world' I am proud of the fact that apart from the milk round and 'petrol pumps' of my youth I have only had two jobs. Whilst this might alarm some of your readers I hasten to add that the second one did last for twenty nine years ! ! I attended the job centre in Stroud at the age of sixteen and was offered a four week post as a hospital porter at Standish in Stonehouse. This I took and stayed there for four years until I received some valuable parental advice ! ! ! My father who was a lifelong journalist had a 'contact' in Gloucester Prison who I hasten to add was from the right side of the bars and at the age of twenty I was invited for a tour of the establishment. This took place and the press officer from the 'jail' met my father and I on one Saturday morning at the then daunting Victorian gates and whilst my father remained outside, the Prison Service was well and truly sold to me!
Email: catherine@fivevalleysdirectory.co.uk
25 Your life behind bars I thoroughly enjoyed my twenty nine years in the Prison Service and it is only due to the fact that Gloucester Prison closed in 2013 that I took this as an opportunity to do 'something else' with my life . Following a lengthy period in 1984 at the Prison Service Training College I moved to London and served for four years at Wandsworth Prison. This was an experience in itself and along with some of the sites I saw as a young hospital porter I think it was my time here that gave me the confidence as a person that has remained with me always. I returned to Gloucester Prison in 1988 and remained there until its closure in 2013. Contrary to popular belief prisons are very humorous places and for those readers familiar with Ronnie Barkers 'Porridge' I can confirm that in jail you will find a Fletch, a Lenny Godper, a Grouty and certainly back a few years many Mr Mackays ! ! I am not at all politically minded but I believe that the Prison Service has lost its way in recent years. The humour, the unity and the team spirit will live with me forever and on a more serious note so will the five separate occasions that I had to attend Coroners Court You have set up in business now you have been released!! Some twenty years ago I took a part time job working on my rest days at Manheim Auctions near Dursley. It is due solely to this opportunity that I discovered a passion for the motor trade. I can only think that this is because you can see an end result in this trade whereby in my previous one that was not always the case ! ! As a result of this I have traded for many years with some success so some years ago I took the opportunity to reduce my hours and pursue my business interests. I am very passionate about specialising in wheelchair accessible vehicles ( WAV's ) and now operate from forecourt premises. I feel I have the confidence, the knowledge and the ability to make a difference to the persons life who is in need of a wheelchair accessible vehicle Finally, where can we find you relaxing? I have always been a sociable and outgoing person and along with my partner Lisa we are now thoroughly enjoying the Five Valleys. Lisa lives in Cheltenham and along with myself we are 'enjoying' the membership of The Cotswold Food Club. The idyllic location of The Old Lodge takes some beating as does The Fostons Ash whereby I occasionally sample a 'Tom Long' or two en route to Cheltenham . . . . I do hope Lisa doesn't read this ! ! ! Only last summer I met life long friends at The Old Lodge where we sampled Stroud Breweries 'Tom' and 'Budding' prior to' moving on to Westonbirt Arboretum to see the great Deacon Blue in concert . . . . . can it really get better than this ! !

Give yourself a Mental Spring Clean With Winter’s ‘hibernation’ months behind us, this is a good time of year to take stock and give ourselves opportunity to clarify our intentions, and get rid of those beliefs, thoughts and attitudes that may be holding us back. Negative self-talk can prevent us from living our lives as we would wish. When it comes to our perceptions, the mind cannot differentiate between imagination and reality. So, if you’ve imagined something going wrong 100 times, when in reality it went OK, then you actually have 100 negative experiences of that event. Here it’s important to point out that every negative thought we have is accumulated and stored and converted into anxiety, and this is where life’s stresses originate. It can soon become a habit to think we can’t do something rather than maintaining beliefs that we can. Solution Focused Hypnotherapists have the tools to help with this. Local Hypnotherapist Liane Ulbricht-Kazan explains “Hypnotherapists seek to help people re-address thought patterns to get them operating from the so called intellectual part of the brain, as opposed to the original primitive part. If we want to come up with a proper assessment of any given situation, and we want to be able to innovate, make good decisions, and react to situations in a calm and appropriate manner, we need to be in the intellectual brain. And the more we do so, the more we re-gain control of our lives.” So, lets dispel some of the myths. Hypnosis is also referred to as trance. It’s of huge advantage to use trance with talking therapy. It is very normal and we go into trance many times a day; whilst driving, watching TV, or out for a run. Trance is when the two minds come together to focus on the same thing. In this state we have access to the subconscious mind, which is open to appropriate suggestions. It’s important to know that the client is always in control, and can always pull themselves back whenever they wish. Changes Welcome Hypnotherapy is now also offering Initial Consultations & Taster Relaxation Sessions for FREE with trainee Hypnotherapist Sam Little. So why not get in touch? Learn more about your brain, and how you can start getting back on top of issues such as anxiety, depression, anger, OCD & more!

34 The Perfect Treatment for your Job By Zoe Warner of Vanilla Moon www.vanillamoon.biz
There seems to be a growing trend of matching things up and we thought that we would jump on that trend train and join in. Looking at all the elements that surround a person whilst at work, as well as whether they sit or stand all day, are indoors or outdoors, helped us match up the perfect treatments for those jobs.
Facial Do you spend hours working outside in every type of weather? Or is it just the summertime that sees you basking in the glorious sunshine and being paid for it? The elements of the seasons do have a lasting impact on our skin and it is a good idea to treat your face to some TLC and help combat those elements. It will also give your mind a chance to relax and help you to get away from the demands of a busy working life. For some this may be the only time they truly allow themselves to forget about work without feeling guilty: Job Types - gardener, traffic warden, builder, window cleaner.
Manicure
Manicures are for busy hands that tend to end up covered in something that will dry out your hands, ruin your nails and generally make them look grubby. Whether it be from spending hours with your hands in water, dirt, clay or rubber gloves. It can also be a great treatment for those who spend hours using a keyboard, whether it be a laptop, computer or a musical keyboard: Job Types - kitchen assistant, sculptor, dog groomer, gardener, junior hairdresser, musician, typist, writer, music teacher.
Pedicure
For those who spend the majority of their working hours on their feet, a pedicure is the perfect treatment for you. You might treat yourself to a d-i-y soak once a week but can you imagine what the benefits would be if you let a professional get their hands on your feet? Spending hours stuffed into shoes and socks can have an unhealthy effect on our feet, from foot odour, to corns, to dry and flaking skin, and left untreated will make walking even a few steps painful. If your job involves walking for the majority of the day then this pain will soon become unbearable Job Types - shop assistant, hairdresser, beauty therapist, traffic warden, teacher, police officer.
Massage
Do you sit at a desk all day and find that your shoulders ache by the time you go home? Or spend hours driving about? Getting a good massage will help to relieve those aches and work out any knots that are forming in the neck and shoulders. You can go for just a neck and shoulder massage or the full body massage to get the blood flowing around your body and giving your mind a moment to relax. This is also a great treatment for anyone that tends to crouch over a lot whether that be whilst standing or sitting and for a number of workers who find their working day consists of lifting heavy objects: Job Type - delivery driver, secretary, care assistant writer, hairdresser, driving instructor, doctor.
