Welcome to your January issue...

A

t the time of writing, we’re still very much wrapped up in 2023 and the final throes of the year, with its Christmas parties, Santa being chauffeured around our streets, the carols, and all the end-of-term concerts, all of which make it such a fabulous time of the year.

The American columnist and author, William E. Vaughan declared, “An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.”

Which one applies to you I wonder, as 2024 looms into view?

All the very best to you all for the year ahead and may it bring peace, good health, and happiness. At this time, the special thoughts of all our family go out to our dear mother who passed away a year ago. Where did 2023 go?

Claire x

Already with the ‘family organizer’ in place on the kitchen wall, we race through to 2024, looking forwards, with anticipation and much hope, and that’s not just for ‘loadsa’ medals at the Paris Olympics which begin on July 26th.

For those of us fortunate enough to have had him as an inspirational History teacher and Deputy Head at Bourne Grammar School (long, long ago), it was sad to hear of Doug Birkbeck’s passing in October … just two months away from his 102nd birthday!

And finally: • How sad to have seen that demonstration of turkeys on Christmas Eve, holding up placards which read: “Just Stop Foil!”

• A recent study has found that women who carry a little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it.

Enjoy the read and may your resolutions last well past the second week of January!

Coaches depart from Spalding Bus Station, unless stated otherwise. New excursions are being added weekly.

Visit www.hallamtravel.co.uk or contact Lorraine Hallam on 01406 493198. Online booking is available via our website.

The first part of the evening will be concentrated on developing new recruits and learning two songs.

Then, after a break with complimentary refreshments, participants will be welcome to listen to the chorus singing some of its repertoire.

New to singing?

THE JOY OF SINGING: SING 24 Hereward Harmony, the only male barbershop chorus in Peterborough, is looking for new members and is offering a free six-week singing experience.

The group was established more than thirty years ago and currently has twenty-five loyal members who enjoy singing four-part close harmony whilst building great friendships.

Over the years, Hereward Harmony has sung at both public and private events and as a group has learned and performed a wide variety of popular songs.

Newcomers will be coached by Rob Yarnall, the group’s talented music director, who will help you to discover which part your voice is suited to lead, bass, baritone or tenor. You do not need to read music or have previous experience in music to join.

There are many men who would love to sing. Most never get around to it, don’t have the opportunity or maybe are too self-conscious to give it a go. The simple fact is that just about every one can sing, and this course will help you to discover your voice.

Have you sung before?

If it is a few years since you have sung, this course is the perfect way to ease your vocal cords back into action. If you are a regular singer, you may find the course useful to learn different voice parts.

The course runs every Thursday from February 29th , 2024-April 4th, 2024, at 7.30pm-9.45pm at Hereward Harmony’s rehearsal centre Orton Wistow Community Centre, Napier Place, Peterborough PE2 6XN.

Please apply and reserve your place by contacting chairman Alan Lund on 07850 007057 or (01733) 334233. For further information on Hereward Harmony check out its Facebook account by searching Hereward Harmony Barbershop Peterborough or visit www.herewardharmony.com

Overindulged this Christmas?

Don’t Worry, We Are Here to Help!

S

o that’s Christmas done and dusted for another year and, once again, some of us are left with a feeling of excess. Here, at Deep-in Aesthetics we are offering our clients, old and new, a helping hand to get in shape and lose some weight going into the new year. We have been using two different types of fat dissolving treatments at the clinic that allow you to diet and exercise alongside your sessions, to help speed up the fat-reduction process.

Firstly, there is the original, called Aqualyx, which is a series of fat dissolving injections that can be used anywhere on the body where you can pinch more than 2cm such as the tummy, back, chin, thighs, and arms. They are used to treat and kill pockets of fat cells that collect beneath the surface of the skin. It is the most effective and safest fat dissolving treatment available and can get rid of stubborn areas of fat while contouring at the same time, so you haven’t got any unsightly loose skin left over afterwards.

There is also no downtime afterwards and minimal bruising, if at all.

The second treatment is called “Lemon Bottle” and is a revolutionary new fat dissolving treatment. It has proven to be extremely effective for smaller areas,

such as the chin, arm, back, and the jowl area (which also contours the jawline afterwards to give a more slimline facial aesthetic).

MFR and Connective Tissue?

H

ello again, it’s Heidi Marshall. In the last few issues of Discovering magazine, I’ve introduced you to some of the types of bodywork that I have been trained in. This month I’d like to delve into the world of fascia/ connective tissue and MFR. Have you heard of MFR? Myofascial Release? Fascia or connective tissue?

Fascia (or connective tissue) is a term that’s been thrown around for years in the world of bodywork.

Back when I first started my massage career, little was known about fascia. It was just explained away as a thin layer of tissue that surrounded all our internal organs and muscles like filler.

So much more has been discovered about fascia/connective tissue. We now know that it is its own system in the body, like our nervous system, and it supports you and keeps you stable. Fascia is made up of elastin, collagen and other fibres that are bathed in cellular fluid.

It communicates with the brain, is adaptable, and surrounds and creates separation between every muscle, bone, nerve, and organ.

It is everywhere and exists as one continuous structure, head to toe with no interruption. There is more connective tissue in your body than anything else. Keeping it hydrated is key to it being able to do its job of support and protection.

MFR or Myofascial Release by John F. Barnes

Heidi Mars

hall

is a gentle technique that involves applying sustained pressure, without lotion or oil, to help reduce or eliminate pain and bring back motion by elongating the fascia.

Trauma, accidents, surgery, inflammation, and postural habits can cause fascia to become solidified and shortened. MFR helps bring back hydration to your fascial system so that it can support and allow flexibility and movement.

Some issues that MFR can help with: Back pain, bursitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, headaches/ migraines, neck pain, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) syndrome, whiplash.

So, please give me a call if you have any questions and/or want to schedule a session with me. I hope to hear from you soon.

TRAVEL VACCINATIONS AND HEALTH ADVICE SERVICE HOW IT WORKS - YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED! 1 WHY MAY I NEED TO BE VACCINATED?

If you’re about to travel outside of the UK, you may need to be vaccinated before you set off for your trip. The childhood vaccination programme in the UK protects you from a number of diseases, but you may need extra vaccinations or antimalarials if you’re planning on visiting certain parts of the world.

2 HOW CAN WE HELP?

Getting vaccinated can help prevent you from getting ill if you’re exposed to diseases which we don’t normally have in the UK. We can help you understand how to keep your risks low while abroad and help you work out which vaccinations and antimalarials you may want to consider depending on things like: • Which regions you’ll be visiting • Your age and general health Some travel vaccinations may be needed several weeks before departure. Ideally you should see us six to eight weeks before travelling, but we may still be able to help if you’re leaving sooner, even days before for travel.

3 WHAT VACCINATIONS ARE AVAILABLE? ● Hepatitis A

● Typhoid

● Yellow fever

● Meningitis ACWY

● Hepatitis B

● Rabies

VACCINATIONS ALSO AVAILABLE

Local History

Fen Ague and Some Unusual Remedies

B

KINDLY SUPPLIED BY DEEPINGS HERITAGE

efore the land in Deeping Fen was completely drained, parts of it flooded every winter, and in summertime the water receded, leaving stagnant pools and decaying vegetation. People who lived or worked in the area were prone to fits of high temperature and shivering, with pains in their limbs, known as ague or fen fever. For centuries, it was thought that fogs or foul air were responsible, but the true cause was identified around 1900 as a type of malaria, spread by mosquitos which bred on rotting aquatic plants during warm weather.

Ague was not usually fatal, but those affected had recurring bouts of fever, which over the years weakened their resistance to other diseases. It was a well-known hazard of fenland life, so strangers avoided visiting the area and most sufferers were local farm labourers and their families. Originally, their home-made treatments were based more on superstition than medical science, which itself was primitive. In 1745, a doctor in Lincoln recommended a squashed spider spread on linen and laid on the forehead to reduce fever, or else a live spider could be eaten with bread.

A mixture of beer, gin and acorns was sometimes drunk, or mustard and beer. One woman in Deeping St James sold a cure for ague which consisted of gin containing a pinch of burnt wick from candles.

Pumps powered by wind were so ineffective at removing water from the fen, that they were known as “idle bystanders”. In the 19th century, they were replaced by steam pumps which worked more reliably, but seasonal flooding and epidemics of ague still occurred. By that time, opium was being widely used to relieve pain and fevers. It was said that chemists in the fenland towns of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk sold more of the drug than those in the rest of England put together. Patches of white opium poppies were also cultivated in cottage gardens.

Dried residue from the juice of poppies was broken into small pieces and eaten, or powdered opium dissolved in alcohol could be bought in the form of laudanum. There are even accounts of some pubs in the fens, for example at Crowland, adding opium to beer. It was an era when opium was used in many patent medicines, including a cordial for soothing babies to stop them crying.

The only proven remedy for malaria or fen fever was called bark powder, otherwise quinine, but few sufferers could afford to consult a doctor. The problem was finally resolved by the 20th century, when diesel engines and then electric pumping stations put an end to serious flooding and mosquitos died out in the fen.

What Keeps You Awake at Night?

Advice From NICK ASH, Managing Director W&P Legal

It’s no breaking news that being an adult, with responsibilities and difficult decisions to make on a regular basis, is enough to keep us awake at night.

O

n a dreary Sunday afternoon in November, I sat catching up with an old friend. I asked how he was and his reply “I’m okay” had me a little unconvinced. “Just okay?”

I asked him, growing slightly concerned and hoping I could relieve some burden he may be carrying.

My friend then explained to me that recently he’d been struggling to sleep at night, tossing and turning unable to escape his worries.

We talked more about his worries and dissected how we could resolve them, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I’d heard these worries before from other friends. I will put this question to you, reader, and I will put money on it that you have once tossed and turned over the same questions...

1

What would happen to my family if I weren’t here tomorrow?

3

How can I make sure my children and grandchildren were still taken care of if something were to happen to me?

4

How can I control what happens to my assets?

I reassured my friend that I had once been kept awake by the very same thoughts and unfortunately, the future is something that we cannot control. However, we can prepare for it. This may be a worry that always burdens us, but we can take action to alleviate some of the stress.

If these thoughts sound familiar and you’d like support in taking action, let me help you. My colleagues at W&P Legal and I are committed to delivering peace of mind and are waiting with open arms. It is also important for me to point out that there are many resources out there to support you if you’re feeling particularly stressed, concerned, or you’re worried about your mental health. We will support you with the practicalities of alleviating these worries, but don’t be afraid to speak out if your concern stretches beyond these.

You can reach us on 01778 252301 or advice@wplegal.co.uk.

2

What if I became sick or injured and was unable to work or provide?

Wishing you a wonderful New Year!

Practical Ways to Help Your Child Buy Their First Home

S

o, you’re ready to take the leap and liberate yourself from the neverending cycle of laundry by helping your grown-up child purchase their first home. Congratulations on embracing the freedom that awaits you! In this article, we’ll explore practical ways to assist your child on their home-buying journey, making the transition smoother for both of you.

Joining Them on the Mortgage Adventure: Consider becoming a co-mortgagee and join them on the mortgage. This can help your child secure a larger mortgage, a better interest rate, and/or increase their chances of approval, especially if they are still building their credit.

By offering your financial support, you not only contribute to their home-buying success but also play a role in reducing your laundry load.

The Gifted Deposit: If you’re able to do so, consider gifting a portion of the deposit.

This generous gesture not only jumpstarts their homeownership dreams but also ensures that your laundry basket will become significantly lighter.

It’s a win-win situation – a cosy home for them, and a laundry-free haven for you.

savings account for their home purchase.

You can agree on a set amount to contribute regularly. This not only teaches them financial responsibility but also provides a structured approach to accumulating the funds needed for a deposit. As the savings grow, so does the likelihood of them finding the perfect home – and your laundry room getting a breather.

If your child has been paying rent while living with you, consider reimbursing them for a portion of those payments. This can serve as a significant contribution to their home-buying fund. It’s a practical way to reward them for their financial responsibility, whilst simultaneously reducing the laundry-related stress in your life.

Enlist the help of a Mortgage Adviser to guide your child through the intricacies of home buying.

Understanding the various aspects of the process, such as budgeting, credit scores, and mortgage options, can empower them to make informed decisions. Plus, it ensures a smoother transition to homeownership and, of course, a lighter laundry load for you.

As you embark on this journey with your child, remember that the goal is not only to help them buy their first home but also to create a more spacious and laundryfree environment for yourself.

here are so many reasons why your garden is such an important asset and why it is worth having an expert designer involved in creating your perfect space.

Established in 2017 by Jason Philpot, PE4 Garden Design produce professional plans, tailored to your location, custom-made for your outdoor space and personalised to you, considering your tastes, preferences, needs and lifestyle.

A lifetime spent in horticulture, working in landscaping, and producing many garden designs means that Jason has experience galore, besides having taught practical sessions, and lectured on all sorts of horticultural subjects for almost twenty years! The PE4 team comprises Jason, his wife Tracy, son Tommy and skilled helpers, Tre and Aiden. They operate in a wide area of North Cambridgeshire and South Lincolnshire.

The garden design process ● Your needs are analysed and scaled plans are produced. All designs are produced using

www.pe4gardendesign.co.uk jason@pe4gardendesign.co.uk

traditional technical drawing skills. They use handdrawn sketches and scaled plans to convey ideas. ● Option 1: The fast-track option for smaller gardens, specific areas, or borders. This allows customers to access Jason’s advice and guidance and to receive an overall design and planting plan. ● Option 2: A full design and consultancy.

Several sketched designs based on your preferences and needs are produced. Once a final concept is agreed, it is developed into a fully scaled plan with supporting sketches and details of all features and materials. From this a planting plan is produced which lists and details every tree, plant and bulb and their exact locations. ● Once the plans are complete, the team can help you to complete the project. You may choose to do the work yourself, or PE4 can help to arrange quotes for the full project or for it to be done in stages. ● PE4 can also supply plants and undertake soft landscaping projects, so can quote for those too.

Time to Plan Your 2024 Home Improvements

D I S C O V E R I N G March

Deepings

With more people choosing to stay put in their homes and make the most of their surroundings while the economic downturn continues, making improvements to a home can add value if done professionally, but some homeowners do not know who to trust, and put the work off as a result.

However, even in these unusual times, planning your home improvements is key to avoiding disappointment. While Safe Local Trades has members across many disciplines; painting and decorating, plastering, electrician, kitchen/bathroom fitting, carpentry, handyman, carpet/upholstery cleaners, window/conservatory fitting etc, many are already reporting bookings up until March 2024.

It is certainly the case with many tried and tested traders that they will be busy, so don’t delay in getting in touch to secure a slot. Some projects, like a new kitchen for example, may be subject to a longer lead-in time; there is the quote to agree, designs to finalise, products to order and then securing the availability of a great kitchen fitter.

Equally, if you are looking to sell your home in 2024, then time is of the essence if you require some property pick-me-ups and stay ahead of the game.

Interestingly, according to research, alongside consistent favourites like new kitchens, new bathrooms and extensions, solar panels and extra insulation are now among the top twenty home improvements that homebuyers are looking for.

So, get planning now – our local tried and tested, vetted tradespeople are just a click away at www.safelocaltrades.com JANUARY 2024

AHM Installations Can Provide Independence and Safety Creating a home that caters to the needs of older or less abled individuals is paramount, directly influencing their dignity and overall wellbeing.

Bathing a problem?

Oddfellows Donation to the Carers Sitter Service

T

he Carers Sitter Service has received a £300 donation from a local friendship group.

Chairman of the Nene and Welland Oddfellows friendship group, Chris Briance, handed over the cheque in November at the Branch’s annual Table-Top Sale.

Paula Harding, Co-ordinator from The Carers Sitter Service, said, “We are very grateful for the donation.

We are a voluntary organisation which aims to give carers time to follow their own interests and hobbies, giving them strength and energy to provide the ongoing support that their dependant relatives/friends need. As a registered charity, we provide a service assisting carers and their families across Stamford, the Deepings, Bourne and their surrounding villages.

The Service can be available on either an occasional or regular basis.

You can ask for a regular visit, or as and when, perhaps for two or three hours at a time, or just as a backstop to cover things you need to do.

Email carersitterservice@gmail.com for more information. Donations and volunteers are always welcomed to help support our work!’

Nature

Food, Glorious Food! [ by David Denman ]

Whilst we have been busy indulging in seasonal eating, the natural world has also prioritised eating but from a far more serious standpoint.

W

ith short day lengths and food a lot harder to find for most animals and birds, effort is the order of the day (or night!)

Next time you see a common egret feeding thigh-deep in water, take a look at its yellow feet, constantly paddling the mud to dislodge aquatic insects. However, there is one very clever trick employed by common egrets on the Maxey Cut. Not only do they paddle furiously, but always seem to do it so that the current (which at times this winter has been very strong) carries dislodged prey morsels so that they flow under their rapier-sharp beak!

We had a “too good to be true” view of a feeding otter within a few miles of Deeping St. James recently. Most animals will carry their prey away with them and are very secretive when feeding – but not with this otter. Although the light was going, the otter could be seen diving to the bottom of the watercourse and surfacing quickly to chew intensively on something – exactly what was lost in the gloom, but it wasn’t Christmas toffee! It may have been a small fish or freshwater mussels, but it was happy to do this whilst looking at us and our dog!

Most of us have spent too much time in shopping centre car parks this festive season but car parks have natural history interests at this time of year. Car parks with berry-bearing bushes can attract large groups of one of our most colourful winter visitors, the waxwing (below). And, at nighttime, some car parks can attract large flocks of pied wagtails which roost together on shop ledges overnight.

In gardens, the first rays of morning winter sunlight usually reveal several bird species working hard to replenish their energy levels. Flocks of family groups of blue and great tits with occasional long-tailed tits scour tree branches for insects. Working together as a team, they will work methodically so that any insects that are disturbed by one bird will be eaten by one coming on behind. Teamwork also extends into the night as they all roost together to conserve heat especially in nest boxes, more associated with spring and nestlings.

Dunnocks appear especially earnest in feeding until dusk.

Robins share this quest to find food with the added burden of having to sing throughout the winter months. Soon they will also be joined by singing dunnocks and blackbirds, as the days lengthen.

Finally, remember that fresh, unfrozen water is a priority, just as vital for garden birds as is food.

I always have hedgehog food out for those adventurous hogs that are exploring the New Year on warm nights.

A happy new year to you all.

Wills

Why do I need a will?

Wills are important to ensure that your assets pass to those you would like. If you are not married, your partner will not automatically inherit your estate.

If you have children, you can also use a will to nominate guardians to ensure they are looked after if the worst may happen.

Lasting Powers of Attorney

Probate What is it?

What are they?

When a person sadly passes away, some banks and institutes require a Grant of Probate to enable you to collect in their assets. If you are selling a house, a solicitor will require this to complete the sale.

These are used when you lose mental capacity but must be created while you can still make decisions. If you do not create these in time, then unfortunately the solution is more costly and time consuming.

We are licensed to assist with the probate application on your behalf, as well as distribute the estate, making everything simpler at this difficult time.

Lasting Powers of Attorneys (LPAs) are documents that allow someone that you nominate as your attorney, to deal with your financial or health affairs on your behalf.
