Spring bulbs bring some cheer as the end of winter is in sight Your local magazine for Redbourn, Kinsbourne Green and North Harpenden, Markyate, Flamstead, Caddington, Slip End, Aley Green, Woodside, Kensworth, Whipsnade, Studham, Gaddesden Row.

Dear Readers, When I see the snowdrops, followed by the croci, the hyacinths, the daffodils and tulips in fast pursuit, it gives me a lift after the long, dark nights of winter.

We include an article by Amberley Gardens that talks about the best plants for your garden in 2023. What’s popular, what’s trendy and what many gardeners do call for today. If you want to learn more about gardening, they are offering courses at their garden training centre in Markyate. See pages 32 and 33 for more information.

For our puzzles, I try to incorporate a topical subject and no prizes for guessing what this month’s news item is - yes, Prince Harry’s book ‘Spare’. Not that I have read it but I have been exposed to so many TV, radio and news articles that I know a lot about the content. Assuming the same applies to you, I have done a fun word search this month on ‘Harry speak’.

See page 31 to see what you remember from the latest saga of the royals.

An unusual trend that is worthy is comment is the price of second-hand cars. For the first time in my memory, second-hand cars are going up in value. It was a well-known adage that a new car lost 25% of its value the day you drove it out of the showroom but this is no longer and case and the reasons are fully explained in Melanie Wooding Jones’ article on pages 26 -28. It is a fascinating read.

This product is made of a material from well-managed, FSC®-certified forests and other controlled sources. FSC® is dedicated to the promotion of the responsible forest management worldwide.

Until next time, smile because spring is coming.

New dates are available for a free course for parents and carers of children aged 2-5 years, delivered from six of Central Bedfordshire Council’s children’s centres.

The ‘Parenting Puzzle’ programme supports parents and carers to develop strategies to reduce the challenges and stress of parenting and prepare children for school. It’s also a great place to meet other parents and carers within the area. Parents can choose to attend either a 4-week or a 10-week version of the programme.

100 per cent of parents who have attended one of the courses said they would recommend it to other parents and carers. One parent said: “…it helped understand my children more, I wish I’d done it years ago.”

Another said: “Life is changing for us in such a positive way now.”

Other parents said the course had helped “make family life a lot calmer,” and that “I never felt judged.” ________________________________________

Divorce applications reach 10-year high as new law takes effect The number of divorce applications has reached a 10-year high, with the sudden increase thought to be largely due to the introduction of the no-fault approach to ending a marriage.

The figures for April to June 2022 show there were 33,234 applications, the highest number for a decade.

Analysts suggest the increase is down to people holding off making applications until the new system came into effect in April.

The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 is designed to reduce the potential for conflict amongst divorcing couples by removing the ability to make allegations about the conduct of a spouse and allowing couples to end their marriage jointly.

Under previous law, one spouse had to allege adultery, unreasonable behaviour or desertion in order to start divorce proceedings immediately. Now they only have to state that the marriage has broken down irretrievably.

The Act also allows couples to jointly apply for a divorce, where the decision to separate is mutual.

Figures show that 78% of the applications were from sole applicants and 22% were from joint applicants, including those for the dissolution of civil partnership.

There has to be a minimum period of 20 weeks To advertise call 07941 661004

between the start of proceedings and application for conditional order. This provides couples with a meaningful period of reflection and the chance to reconsider. Where divorce is inevitable, it enables couples to cooperate and plan for the future.

It will no longer be possible to contest a divorce, except on limited grounds including jurisdiction.

A Law Society spokesperson said: “We are pleased that this crucial ‘no-fault’ divorce legislation is now in force and being used, so that separating couples can divorce as amicably as possible.

“Separating couples do not have to prove a faultbased fact against their ex-partner, or spend years still married to obtain a divorce, exacerbating tensions.”

The new law is a welcome development in removing much of the blame game from divorce, but couples still face having to reach a financial settlement on how marital assets should be divided and, if they have children, what kind of care and contact arrangements should be put in place.

Both these crucial subjects can be complicated and are best explored with the help of a specialist family law solicitor.

Healthy Body Healthy Mind Hertfordshire

H

ertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service has teamed up with Public Health Hertfordshire to launch Healthy Body Healthy Mind Hertfordshire, a new campaign to highlight the positive effect that being active can have on our physical and mental health and wellbeing.

The campaign challenges people to take part in a series of 12 ‘high intensity’ (HIIT) exercises.

Alongside this, Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue staff, will share their personal and professional experiences of maintaining physical and mental wellbeing, and the strategies they use to help them.

Each week, three new exercise videos will be released on the Healthy Body Healthy Mind playlist, which can be found here: Healthy Body Healthy Mind Hertfordshire YouTube.

Workout 1 A 15-minute workout incorporating a warm-up, laying bridges, sofa squats, sofa push-ups, walking burpees, superman, lumbar stretch, glute stretch, hamstring stretch, child’s pose, hip flexor stretch, pectoral stretch and quad stretch Workout 2 A 15-minute workout incorporating a warm-up, running on the spot, walking burpees, laying bridges, push-ups, plank, quad stretch, child’s pose, rear hip flexor stretch, hamstring stretch, rear deltoid stretch and triceps stretch.

Workout 3 A 15-minute workout incorporating a warm-up, squat taps, stepping side taps, reverse taps, push-ups, plank with knees to toes, hamstring stretch, glute stretch, lumbar stretch, quad stretch, child’s pose, triceps stretch and pectoral stretch.

The intensity of the workouts will increase as the weeks go on, but the workouts are for all abilities, you can just participate to your own level. So whether this is your first time engaging in HIIT style workouts or you’ve tried them before, why not give it a go?

News Update from Caddington WI We had a Group Meeting in Heathfield with guests from Studham, Houghton Regis, Dunstable, and Eaton Bray WIs. Each Institute had a 15 minute slot to perform some entertainment for us. Poems and stories were told and we acted in Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We were very disappointed to hear that Houghton Regis W.I. was closing down. We shall miss them all.

Our ladies have donated old bras to children in Africa who do not have these garments. We are told it will save them from rape and persecution in their hometowns.

Natalia from Ukraine told us what it has been like living in Ukraine and we were upset upon hearing her stories. We had a collection and raised £94 to help with transport, fuel, food, and clothing.

So far they have managed to send seven lorries containing 80 tonnes of goods to help. They need warm clothing, thermals, socks gloves, etc, and dry/ tinned food, tea, coffee, etc. If you feel like helping pop along and chat with the people. You may even get a piece of Ukrainian cake! Visit the Luton branch of the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain, 16 Cromwell Road, LU2 7PY. The final event of the night was a game of bingo.

Note to future bingo caller, watch out for No. 1 which looks very much like No. 7. Oops! Our meeting in February is the 7th, 7.30 at Caddington Sports and Social club when Beverly Bond will speak on Herbs and in March we have a Craft Demonstration.

PASSING WEALTH DOWN

THROUGH THE GENERATIONS

O

ne striking aspect is the extent to which grandparents are stepping in with thousands of pounds of support and helping grandchildren with housing deposits in addition to everyday expenses.

OPTIONS AVAILABLE It’s understandable why grandparents want to help their family and pass wealth down through the generations. When doing this, there are a number of options available, each with different advantages and disadvantages.

Gifting money early can reduce Inheritance Tax liabilities and a grandparent can gift up to £3,000 a year without being added to the value of their estate. Currently, a couple could therefore gift £6,000 a year. If some or all of it was invested in a pension it would receive tax relief.

GIFTING MONEY Grandparents interested in helping a grandchild save for a house could also consider saving into a Lifetime ISA (LISA). Only the child/grandchild, as the account holder, can open and manage their LISA but it’s possible to gift money to an account holder to pay into their LISA. Those helping grandchildren, the research highlighted, gave £15,000 on average, while 10% gave over £50,000. The main reasons grandparents helped out grandchildren financially were to help with day-to-day costs (43%) and help with bills (37%).

One in four (24%) grandparents gave money to help To advertise call 07941 661004

Capital Manor Passing on Wealth Capital Manor.indd 20

their grandchildren buy a house.

SAVING FOR A CHILD OR GRANDCHILD Parents and grandparents have several options when saving for a child or grandchild. Choosing the right one can make a big difference.

CONTRIBUTING TO A PENSION Although most people won’t set up a pension until they reach working age, a Junior Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) can be started as soon as someone is born. In addition, any contributions made by a parent or grandparent, which can be made directly to the plan as ‘third-party contributions’, will be treated for tax relief purposes as if they were made by the beneficiary themselves.

This means that contributions paid to a ‘relief at source’ scheme will currently receive tax relief of 20% (£20 for every £80 net contribution) as long as the gross contributions do not exceed the beneficiary’s relevant UK earnings for the tax year or £3,600 if more.

In addition, where a beneficiary has paid Income Tax at a higher rate, they will be able to claim the difference directly from HM Revenue & Customs through self-assessment, so a further 20% for a higher rate (40%) tax payer on some or all of the contributions.

Although a child under the age of 18 is unlikely to have relevant UK earnings, total contributions up to the ‘basic amount’ of £2,880 net (£3,600 gross) can be made each year and will still benefit from tax relief.

MILLIONS OF RETIREES HELP OUT IN COST OF LIVING CRISIS The rise in the cost of living is affecting millions of people. A third of young adults (18-34) and families with young children are struggling financially.

Many are turning to family and friends for help with day-to-day expenses such as utility bills, housing costs and childcare, according to new research[1].

Pension contributions can be one of the more tax efficient ways to gift money to a child or grandchild, but the money is likely to be inaccessible until they reach age 57 (normal minimum pension age is rising from 55 to 57 in April 2028).

LIFETIME ISAS (LISAS) If the child or grandchild is aged between 18 to 40, helping them save into a lifetime ISA (LISA) can be beneficial, especially if they are trying to raise a deposit for a first home. This is because the government will add a 25% bonus to subscriptions of up to £4,000 a year (i.e. £20 for every £80 subscribed).

However, if withdrawals are made for any purpose other than purchasing a first home, a tax penalty of 25% (i.e. £25 on a withdrawal of £100) will apply unless the individual is terminally ill or aged 60 or above. Since the tax penalty exceeds the initial bonus, it is normally not the most tax-efficient investment if the penalty is likely to be incurred.

Only the child or grandchild, as the account holder, can open and manage their LISA but it’s possible to gift money to an account holder to pay into their LISA. TRUSTS For those who want more control over how money is spent, setting up a trust can help ensure any investment is used appropriately.

There are a wide variety of trusts that can be used to meet individual requirements.

All parents and grandparents want to give their children or grandchildren the best possible start in life. When it comes to investing for a child’s future, putting aside just a small amount of money on a regular basis can really add up.

The LV= Wealth and Wellbeing Monitor – a quarterly survey of 4,000 UK adults – reveals that many people struggling with everyday living costs are turning to family and friends for support 23/08/22.

A PENSION IS A LONG-TERM INVESTMENT NOT NORMALLY ACCESSIBLE UNTIL AGE 55 (57 FROM APRIL 2028 UNLESS PLAN HAS A PROTECTED PENSION AGE).

THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENTS (AND ANY INCOME FROM THEM) CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP WHICH WOULD HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE LEVEL OF PENSION BENEFITS AVAILABLE. YOUR PENSION INCOME COULD ALSO BE AFFECTED BY THE INTEREST RATES AT THE TIME YOU TAKE YOUR BENEFITS. THE VALUE OF YOUR INVESTMENTS CAN GO DOWN AS WELL AS UP AND YOU MAY GET BACK LESS THAN YOU INVESTED. THE FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY DOES NOT REGULATE TAXATION AND TRUST ADVICE.

Rise of the Superminis

I

t seems astonishing that following numerous global crises from COVID recovery, conflicts and global warming to recession, cost of living and energy crisis, that the value of used cars appear to be increasing monthly. The used car market has seen a surge in value for the 33rd month. Which cars can you reasonably expect to retain their worth and which will suffer losses? Is it the right time to buy, or should you wait?

I’m not sure anyone can recollect being told to buy cars because they increase in value unless we are talking collectables. In fact, advice has been quite the opposite: ‘A new car decreases in value the moment it is driven off the forecourt’. ‘You’re much better putting your money into property’. But times have changed with used cars increasing in value, and it all appears to be down to circumstances driven initially

by COVID. COVID caused the supply of new cars to halt.

Factories closed world-wide so there were no parts being produced and no-one to construct new vehicles. When people did return to the factories, the conflict in Ukraine led to some vital parts not being manufactured. Fewer new vehicles being produced, led to extended wait times and fewer part-exchanges available. The situation became worse by an uncertain financial climate changed buying habits.

In the meantime, the demand for used cars increased.

Availability of public transport decreased with people working from home. Commuters felt safer in their own vehicle rather than a shared space. There was an increase in driving jobs as we took to staying at home and deliveries saw a steep rise. Vans and small affordable cars became popular.

Now we have a financial crisis, people are holding on to their cars for longer and choosing used rather than a new car. And if a new car is chosen, the lead times are extensive. We are also grappling with the To advertise call 07941 661004

latest industrial action, so people feel more secure if they can reliably drive themselves to work, hospital or even make their own deliveries.

So, demand for used vehicles is outweighing supply.

But not all vehicles! Sales have seen a shift with people being cautious with their options: Do they need the luxury car with all the options; Would a small car be more practical; Am I basing my decision on affordability; is it time to move to electric? The trend, below, makes fascinating reading.

How does that affect my car?

The likelihood is, if you own a car, it has possibly increased in value since 2020. Statistics from Auto Trader shows that the average retail price of a used car had changed significantly over the last 4 years: Year Av Retail Price of a used car 2019 £12,999 2020 £13,538 2021 £15,204 2022 £17,548 In particular, the affordable superminis have risen to the top of the sector’s most appreciating used car rankings.

This leads a trend in faltering EV values compared to their petrol or diesel counterparts. In November other declining EV models included the Audi Etron, BMW i3 and Renault Zoe and Tesla Model X. Just a month later and the Polestar 2 and Jaguar I-Pace have also joined the crew.

Appropriately, manufacturers are prioritising building electric vehicles, but at the same time buyers, who are being impacted by the cost-of-living crisis and rising energy costs, are more inclined to remain with what they know – petrol and diesel. With a shift to surplus supply in electric vehicles, this has contributed to used car values remaining high.

Both tables make interesting reading even with a few surprises, but it is clear that buying choices have changed and the supermini has become the rising star!

How does that affect me if I am looking for a car?

With no volume of stock about to surge the market, prices look set to remain strong with no signs of easing any time soon. Auto Trader reported an increase of 8% enquiries on new cars, and a huge 71% in used cars throughout 2021.

It appears the time of conducting extensive internet searches is over for the time being as, if you do find a car you like, they disappear fast.

However, electric vehicles are destined to come back as the financial crisis eases. Should the economy remain turbulent, there could be strong deals on electric cars emerging as manufacturers strive to retain market share by dispersing their stock.

And so, our advice…

Many are opting to retain their cars for longer with the average age of a used car set to reach 10 years this year. A well looked after and regularly serviced car has become a valuable asset, so it makes good economic sense.

However, we cannot always ignore the fragility of our cars or the desire and excitement to change!

We are frequently asked ‘should I buy electric, diesel or petrol’. It’s a difficult question to answer. Science and Technology is constantly changing, and therefore progress is rapid. The economic climate is uncertain as we struggle to recover from some extraordinary circumstances. As scientists provide us with the latest advice, government and manufacturers offer us deals to ensure they reach their own and global targets, we can get bamboozled with an overload of information.

With so many uncertainties, the best way to decide Please mention

28 on which car to buy is to look at your own personal circumstance and take some professional advice.

• • • • • •

Define your budget – make sure it’s realistic and includes the cost of maintenance, fuel, insurance, etc.

Look for a car that retains its value – we have customers who bought last year, and their car is worth £5,000 more now!

Identify your non-negotiables – transmission, fuel, colour, etc.

Eco – decide how far your budget will go. Can you go electric, or will a smaller car suffice?

Do your homework – know what you want to buy and where your financial boundaries are.

Research the market - and be prepared to move quickly when you do decide on something you want.

“... the value of used cars appear to be increasing monthly.”

•

Buy from a reliable source – Do you know it is roadworthy? Will they look after you if there is an issue with the car?

On the other side of the latest crisis, it is likely that the car market will return to pre-pandemic norms, but in the meantime, we don’t know how quick or strong the recovery will be, so making a choice on your next car can only be guided by your own personal circumstances.

If you are in any doubt, give our sales team a call and we’ll help you through the myriad of changing information to help to find the right car for you.

“Now we have a financial crisis, people are holding on to their cars for longer and choosing used rather than a new car.”

Best Plants for your Garden in 2023

“I would like an evergreen plant that doesn’t grow too big and has flowers all year round, doesn’t need watering and is unaffected by the climate, disease or insects” I hear my client’s cry!

As a garden designer/landscaper I always try to look for plants that can give presence in a garden for a long time but there isn’t a simple ‘go to’ plant that covers all of the above. Over the years, I have created a palette of plants I tend to use that are robust, colourful in flowers and foliage, and as free from potential insect damage/disease as possible.

As we head into the new year hastily waiting Spring-time, I offer you a selection of five plants that will thrive in any garden and help create a diverse paradise for nature to flourish.

(macrophylla meaning ‘big-leaf) situated in USA with flowers up to a foot in diameter!

Hydrangea ‘Annabelle’ is a much smaller version and ideal for any garden and available in many colours; pink, ruby, white, etc.

The great thing about Annabelle is that although deciduous, flowering begins in June and lasts right through until November and can make a great feature plant in a bed surrounded with other plants

Scientists recognize that certain colours/plants/ flowers attract pollinators such as bees, beetles, spiders and hoverflies which help protect against the less favourable insects, which is another reason why I have focused on these specific varieties.

Maybe you recognize some of them in your own gardens?

Ceanothus arboreous The Californian Lilac is a real ‘box’ filler when it comes to plants. Many different varieties including ground cover, climbers, trees or dense evergreen shrubs this beautiful blue flowering plant fills the garden with colour and scent from May-June and again September – October.

Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ There are 80 different species of Hydrangea with the most common one Hydrangea macrophylla To advertise call 07941 661004

32 Amberley Gardens.indd 32

Hydrangea ‘White Annabelle’ Hydrangea ‘Sweet Ruby’ Verbena bonariensis ‘Lollipop’ I would imagine quite a few people have this plant in their garden as there are over 150 species, however the most common variety in the UK would be ‘The Lollipop’. A purple flowering tall, stemmed plant with the ability to survive long periods of drought which continues to bloom from June -November. A selfseeder that can become invasive but simply pull out any new seedlings you don’t want, pot them on and give to your friends.

Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ Crocosmia Lucifer can be purchased as a bulb or plant and grows with soft spiky foliage and beautiful deep red flowers on tall stems from June-September. A perfect back of the border plant alongside Verbena Please mention

with alternative varieties of Crocosmia in orange red and yellow and dwarf sizes suiteble for rockeries.

Another plant with a long endurance of flowers and simply cut back to the ground in Spring for a repeat performance every year.

Cosmos bipinnatus The last plant I wanted to give credit is the fabulous annual that is Cosmos. So many varieties to choose from however the ‘Snow Puff’ varieties with double flowers are always pretty special. Simply buy a packet of seeds (75 for around £1) and sow them

in some compost from April onwards (undercover) or May if directly outside and you will be rewarded with flowers from June through to October without disappointment.

Here’s what they had to say on This Morning!

With pilates expected to be the most popular workout of 2023, why not start the new year by trying it for yourself?

Jennifer Aniston, Adele and David Beckham have all credited it as the secret to their super-fit bodies - and today, we’ll be showing you just how easy it is to lengthen, strengthen, build flexibility and tone.
