There is something for in here for everybody whether you want something fairly simple to do with our Prime Minister Wordsearch at the back (please don’t use it as a dart board) or something to really sink your teeth into on a lazy day like the codewords at the front of the book.

If you consider your self as a professional problem solver then maybe try and sink your teeth in to the Zebra Puzzle.

They’re starting to get tougher every month so make sure you keep up!

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM Why do we wear a poppy? Scarlet poppies grow wild all over Western Europe wherever the soil has been disturbed. The battles of the First World War churned up such vast areas of earth that millions of poppies germinated and bloomed, often around the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

A Canadian surgeon called John McRae wrote the poem In Flanders Fields in which the poppies symbolise the deaths of those who fought. It is a haunting memorial to those soldiers who have died in any war.

Why do we have a two-minute silence? It was on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month that the guns of World War I fell silent. Four years of fighting and devastation finally ended. The following year ceremonies of remembrance took place on what was known as Armistice Day. An Australian journalist, Edward George Honey first proposed a respectful silence to remember the dead. He wrote a letter to the London Evening News which was brought to the attention of King George V. The king then issued a proclamation which called for a twominute silence.

These days Armistice Day is known as Remembrance Sunday and is a chance to honour the fallen soldiers of all conflicts.

RHUBARB RHUBARB Rhubarb is a reasonably easy trouble-free plant to grow. It is also a handsome plant, with large leaves and striking red stems, and who doesn't love a rhubarb crumble?

The trick is to choose the right spot. Ideally it needs to be planted in full sun but if your garden is very sheltered it will tolerate partial shade. Don't plant it anywhere where it might be in the way, disturbed, or need to be moved from. Rhubarb has an extensive root system and prefers to stay put, for at least a decade, so give careful thought to the spot.

Rhubarb dislikes wet soil, so make sure it's welldrained. Dig in plenty of organic matter a month or so before planting. It’s generally easier and more productive to grow rhubarb from crowns (divided plants) rather than seed, and from now until Christmas is the perfect time to plant.

Dig a hole a little wider than the rhubarb crown in your prepared ground. Plant so that the growing tip is about an inch /2.5 cm below the surface.

Firm the soil well around the roots to removed air pockets. Water well and mulch with organic matter, avoiding the growing tip.

During the growing season keep the area around the plant free of weeds and give an occasional good soaking in prolonged dry periods. Remove any flower heads that appear in the spring.

Flowering will weaken the stems. If the crown rots, your soil was too wet, but following all the advice I've given earlier should prevent this happening! Harvest time is May until July, but rhubarb is a long-term investment so don't harvest it during the first year. It needs that full first year of growth to establish a strong root system. Second year leave at least five strong stems when you harvest. After that you can leave three or four stems each time. You should get 2-3 crops per season.

Remove only the largest stems when picking and wait till the leaves have fully opened. Pull gently from the base with a slight twist. The leaves are poisonous but can be safely composted.

Once your rhubarb is established you might want to try a forced crop for sweeter more tender stems. Rhubarb is forced by growing it in the absence of light in a microclimate slightly warmer than the outside temperature. You can start forcing in January for best results. Remove dead leaves and weeds from around the crown and add a layer of straw or shredded paper to warm the emerging shoots and to protect them from frost. Then cover the crown with an upturned dustbin or large crock pot to cut out all the light. The rhubarb should be ready for harvesting 8 weeks later.

MONEY MATTERS...

According to Right Move, Property asking prices reached a Record High in October, the UK. Average now standing at £323,530, up 5.5% on annual basis. Sales agreed also soared, 70% up on year, & Sell at record speed at an average of 50 days. Demand for larger homes increasing, Price averaging at £575,594, whilst 799211 First Time Buyers at 01268 £201,628.

Clearly, all this activity driven by C the Stamp Duty Holiday, all jumping on the bandwagon, making hay whilst sun shines.

So, happy days for all then – or is it?!

The wider implications of Covid on Employment stability & sustainability means that Underwriting has largely reverted to manual assessment causing long delays (up to 6-8 weeks for Mortgage Approval) in mortgage processing, accentuated by the increased demand & the adjustment to remote working conditions, & Conveyancors reporting that gap betwixt Offer & Completion approaching 5-7 Weeks, which means a glitch free Conveyance taking some 15 weeks.

Taking into account Xmas around the corner, any escalation of Covid restrictions & economic uncertainty, it can be expected that timescales will extend even further. Industry are predicting that any Applications should be in by 1st November to feel confident of Completion by 31st March, & to have the Stamp Duty set aside just in case you miss the Cut! Any queries on this or any other financial concern, feel free to call 01268 799211.
