elcome to our February edition.

Over Christmas I was struck down with the cold/flu lurgy that everyone I speak to seems to have had. We all coughed and spluttered back to work and breathed on everyone who hadn’t yet succumbed! My other half always insists that going for a run is the answer to all ills – that and having a positive attitude. I can’t say I appreciate this advice when I’m suffering with a high temperature and a very red runny nose to start the New Year! It got me thinking about being positive and the year ahead. According to scientific research a glass-half-full attitude actually strengthens the immune system and negativity has an impact not only on your mood but also on the way your body fights disease. If you study people who are very successful they are often optimistic people who use goals to mark their progress, keep motivated and stay on target.

None of us can be relentlessly upbeat all the time, but a positive mind-set can be indispensable when the going gets tough. This year I’m going to do less moaning and develop a positive mindset… well after I’ve got over this shocking cold!

Will you be celebrating Valentine’s day this month?

Many see Valentine’s day as a bit of a commercial gimmick (I’m one of them!) but why not spread a little love this February? Perhaps give your time to a local group, volunteer at the Milton Rooms maybe or simply donate some food to the local Food Bank?

It being the month of romance we’ve also included some guidance if you’re getting married this

All systems go for the Great Daffodil Appeal!

The Great Daffodil Appeal is here!

day for the whole of March – equivalent to walking 150 miles! And there’s no excuse if you don’t have a fancy fitness tracker, as you’ll receive a pedometer from Marie Curie when you sign up to take part.

Marie Curie’s biggest annual fundraising campaign is once again taking place throughout March (and a little bit of February and April!) where we’ll be raising as much money and awareness as possible for our local services. Every one of us in the UK will be affected at some point by a terminal illness, and we need more support than ever so that we can provide the care everyone deserves at the end of their life. And it’s so easy to help…honestly!

This year, I particularly need a volunteer to host the collections taking place in Easingwold and Helmsley.

If you’re available that day and would be interested in helping out, please do get in touch to find out what’s involved!

3 easy ways to get involved:

1. Sign up to collect for a couple of hours at one of our street or supermarket collections.

2. ‘Go Yellow’ for Marie Curie and ask everyone in your workplace or school to wear something yellow and pay for the privilege.

3. ‘Step into Spring’ and make use of that shiny new Fitbit you got for Christmas. Walk 10,000 steps a

Short Story Movie Night

“Excuse me, excuse me, terribly sorry.” The lady squeezed down the crowded cinema row towards the vacant seat next to Keith.

“Apparently this is my chair,” she said, checking her ticket. “The man at the sales kiosk was very particular that I have to sit where I’m put.”

“It’s certainly a packed house tonight,” Keith said to be conversational.

“Isn’t it just?” She sat down, arranging her handbag on her knee. “I don’t even know what the film is.”

“You don’t?” Keith asked, surprised.

“Has it got that nice Clint Eastwood in it?” she asked, twisting round to scan the auditorium.

“I loved him in Bridges of Madison County.”

“Perhaps he makes a cameo?” Keith said uncertainly. “I take it you don’t go to the pictures very often?”

“Now I think about it,” she paused thoughtfully, “that was probably the last time I went.” She frowned. “I don’t like going on my own.”

Keith nodded sympathetically. He also didn’t particularly like going to the cinema alone, but it was better than not going at all. Still, he was glad to have a bit of company for a change.

She leaned forward and peered over the rows in front, causing the people behind them to tut.

“Is there a problem with your chair? We can swap if you’d prefer?” Keith asked, feeling chivalrous.

“Mine’s got a perfect view of the screen.”

“It’s not really the screen that I’m here to see,” she whispered.

Keith was surprised. “So what are you here to see?”

“My son.” She opened her handbag and took out a packet of lemon sherbets. “He’s here on a date and I thought I’d better come along to keep an eye on him.”

Keith raised his eyebrows.

“Just in case,” she added, as though this was a perfectly reasonable explanation.

“In case of what?” Keith persisted.

“You hear all these horror stories about people going on blind dates with people they’ve met online,” she mused, “don’t you?”

Keith wasn’t sure he’d heard any horror stories, but he was a bit out of touch with these things.

“Your son’s on a first date with someone he met online?” he asked. “That’s all very modern, isn’t it?”

“Well, no,” she said, “I believe she’s someone he knows from his running club.”

“It’s not a blind date then?” Keith asked.

“Well, I’ve never seen what she looks like,” she said, “and besides, you know what these young people are like, anything could go wrong. I’m just here for back up.”

“Ah, young love,” Keith said nodding. “How old is he?”

“Thirty six,” she said, and then added quickly, “though he’ll always be my little boy.”

Keith understood perfectly.

“Still, he could need me.” She untwisted a sweet from its wrapper and popped it in her mouth. “He could lose his car keys.”

Just then her mobile phone chirped, causing the people behind them to tut again. She pulled it from her handbag.

“See!” She studied the screen and tapped. “I was right! He’s texting me.”

“Has he lost his car keys?” Keith asked.

“No,” she frowned. “It says, ‘Mum, stop stalking me’.”

Keith tried not to laugh.

“Anyway, I’m not here to see him, I’m here to watch a movie with my new friend.” She brusquely turned off the phone. “What’s this film all about, anyway?”

“I think we’re about to find out,” Keith smiled warmly. It had been a while since he’d made a new friend.

“Nice to meet you.” She offered him the bag of lemon sherbets. “I’m Meryl.”

“I’m Clint,” he said, and she laughed just as the lights went down.

Santa Success for Malton and Norton Lions

MARTIN TINKER Kitchen & Bathroom Installations

As Rudolph and friends settle down for a well deserved break, Malton and Norton Lions have announced that with their help, Santa’s Sleigh raised a whopping £15,842 during December 2017.

The sleigh visited excited families in some 40 villages plus streets throughout Malton and Norton between November 19th and December 20th and completed its trip despite mechanical breakdown and some freezing cold weather.

Chief elf Annie Harrison said “We want to thank everyone who supported the sleigh including our many volunteer collector elves, Norton and Malton town Council’s, several local pubs and most importantly the wonderful local people who look forward to a glimpse of Santa and donate so generously to us each year. The sleigh will be returning to the elves workshop for a thorough overhaul, and we will be back again in 2018!”

Your Wedding Checklist Weddings take lots of organisation and effort to ensure you have a perfect day. With the help of local businesses your planning can be ‘plain sailing’!

Here’s a handy checklist to help you …

AS SOON AS POSSIBLE: • Announce your engagement.

• Decide the wedding date, type of venue and ceremony. Religious or civil ceremony? Country

house? Hotel? A church? These tend to book up rapidly, so this should be your first consideration.

• Agree a budget - and stick to it! You can be creative with the financial side of it. Call in some favours from friends, as many will be willing to help out with the ‘big day’.

• Have you checked the legal requirements for your ceremony?

• Come up with the guest list – stick to loved ones who can genuinely share the joy of your special day.

Your Wedding Checklist cont...

• Think about catering. Will you have a buffet?

Sit-down meal? Hog roast? In-house catering?

Also decide what you’re having to drink – bubbly, wines, local beers …

• Book the photographer, the DJ or live music and the transport to and from the wedding.

• If you want to lose weight for your wedding day, sign up to a local slimming class as soon as possible.

• What about ‘The Most Important Dress of Your Life’? This is perhaps one the nicest aspects of the preparations. Try on lots of styles to find your perfect outfit. Or perhaps you have a vintage or family dress that can be altered for your wedding day.

• Book that honeymoon and check your passports are valid!

FIVE MONTHS TO GO • Choose the bridesmaids dresses, groomsmen outfits and liaise with the respective mums about their choice of outfits.

• Get quotes from florists, book hair and make-up for the wedding day. Why not have some beautiful table decorations or hire on-trend vintage tea sets or crockery?

• Choose the wedding rings.

• Book the wedding cake.

THREE MONTHS TO GO • Send out the invites, choose readings and music for the service.

TWO MONTHS TO GO • Have a final dress fitting, print the menu and place cards and any other stationery.

ONE MONTH TO GO • Confirm all bookings, final guest numbers and draw up the seating plan.

• Prepare the speeches and choose gifts for the wedding party.

TWO WEEKS TO GO • Final rehearsal, try on the wedding shoes and have the Hen and Stag parties.

he wedding and Prom season is on the way and Number One will be busy as usual with Bridal Makeup.

Makeup plays a huge part in every woman’s daily life and it is so important to find the right makeup to suit your skin and to be given the best advice.

At Number One we went to great lengths to research a makeup that could be suitable for every skin type as well as trying to find a product that is pure and contains no unnatural chemicals or filters such as talc and mineral oils but yet that is so gentle that it can be used on post-operative treated skin!

We choose a product called YOUNGBLOOD For health conscious consumers Youngblood mineral makeup is the solution for many suffers of Acne, Rosacea, pigmentation whilst still offering an extensive makeup range.

Youngblood offers a full line of mineral cosmetics for people of all ages and is effective for all skin types whether oily, dry or combination.

Why choose Youngblood I hear you ask?

• no lead • no talc • no chemical dyes • no artificial colour or fragrances • not tested on animals At Number One, to ensure you have the perfect makeup for your skin, we offer a free Makeup Consultation. Booking is advisable so give us a call on 01653 600149 for more details.

TOP TIPS FROM A DENTAL PROFESSIONAL

How to Choose a Dentist

A

sking friends and relatives about who they use (and why) is the best way to find a good dentist.

If you are on benefits and are exempt from dental charges the NHS may

by Christine Parker be the most cost effective option for BDS (GDC 72136) you. To find local practices that are taking new NHS patients, look online at the NHS choices website. Additionally the CQC assess each dental practice to ensure they are keeping within the required guidelines and have detailed reports which you can view on their performance. If you are not online then simply ringing around is a good option.

You will get a feel for the practice by the receptionist’s manner. Sometimes you may be asked to go onto a waiting list if a dental place is not available straight away.

If you are not exempt it might be worthwhile considering private dentistry. The benefits may be: • A relaxed environment, longer appointments and more time to discuss your oral health.

• Filling materials, crown, bridge work and denture materials available in a greater choice.

• Appointments should be more readily available with early, late or Saturday appointments.

• Good access may be important as rushing around to find parking will make you stressed before you even walk through the dentist’s front door.

• All good dentists should advise you on how to minimise your risk of dental disease Try to establish good communication with your dentist and let them know how you feel about your treatment. Dentistry is a very personal service, requiring your trust of your practioner, and finding someone you are comfortable with.

Finally it is important to attend regularly, as often as recommended by your dentist.

This time is calculated on your individual risk of oral disease.

The Story of WhoopWHOOP! 2018

I

n June 2017, two friends from Scarborough and Pickering decided to spend a year raising money for York Against Cancer, in memory of their friend Donna.

York Against Cancer provides care and support to people affected by cancer and their families - not just in York but more widely in North and East Yorkshire.

Dee says “Shirley and I wanted to show those people and their loved ones living with cancer that they’re part of a wider family who care and want them to have the best care possible when they need it most.”

The campaign ends on 16 September 2018 with a Prize Draw and Afternoon Tea Party for 180 people at The Talbot Hotel in Malton. To date there are 23 prizes including a holiday to Prague, York Races’ tickets, a cookery masterclass, vineyard tour, artwork, hampers, spa vouchers and season tickets to name

just a few. Prizes have been donated from some of the biggest names locally, including; Inntravel, Malton Cookery School, York Races, Castle Howard, Scampston Hall, Robert Fuller Gallery, Sophie Hamilton, Ryedale Festival, Dean’s Garden Centre Scarborough, Fountains Court, Scarborough, Hovingham Hall, Hunters of Helmsley, NYMR, Sophie Hamilton, Ryedale Vineyards, Thomas of Helmsley, Helmsley Arts Centre, Sloemotion, Feversham Arms, Ampleforth Abbey, The Chris Geall Gallery and Taylors of Harrogate Tickets for the prize draw are £5 from justgiving.com/ whoopWHOOP2018. Tickets for the Afternoon Tea are £25, available from www.talbotmalton.co.uk Shirley and Dee have also launched a whoopWHOOP! 2018 Business Club and are inviting businesses to join in by pledging an amount if they can sell 1,000 Prize Draw tickets by 16 September. www.whoopwhoop.uk @whoopwhoop2018

Kitchens & Bedrooms Local service, choice & value

Not only can we find just about any kitchen you might have seen, it will cost a lot less than you expected too.

T

he people who are best qualified to speak for the benefits of Instyle Kitchens and Bedrooms are its customers.

In fact, owner Gary Langley says more than 80 per cent of his customers come through referrals from their family, friends and neighbours.

For example, James and Heather, from Wiggington, write: “You made the experience stress-free and were a great help from designing the kitchen right up until it was installed.

Your team of installers were first rate and I couldn’t fault them one bit... The end result is exactly what we wanted and more. The quality of the kitchen

is excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.”

Gary said: “Often, someone looking for a new kitchen visits us while they’re shopping around, but they place their order with us, because once they’ve mentioned to their family and friends they had a look at Instyle, people tell them ‘You must go with Instyle – they did my kitchen, my neighbours’ kitchen, my aunty’s kitchen’...”

A kitchen is a long-term investment – but Instyle has received repeat business from some customers.

Gary added: “One lady had her second kitchen from us,

because she moved house and wanted exactly the same kitchen as she’d had before.

The kitchen in her new house was fine, it was only ten years old, but she said she couldn’t do with anything less than we’d fitted for her before.”

After 27 years of trading, Instyle Kitchens & Bedrooms has grown from a one-man band fitting one kitchen a month, to a six-strong team designing and installing three kitchens a week, plus bedrooms and P.V.C. windows. Their extensive contacts throughout the industry mean they can source

The experienced and skilled team make the design, planning and installation of a new kitchen a completely stress-free experience.

After a visit to their wellestablished showroom in Haxby, Instyle’s experts organise the entire project from start to finish.

The process begins with a visit from Instyle’s designer Paul Streicher, who will listen to the customer and add lots of creative ideas to plan a kitchen that fits perfectly with their ideas, personality and home. A CAD (computer-aided design) will be produced, helping the customer visualise the end result.

Around 90% of kitchens are completed within a week – granite work surfaces or extensive refits are the only exceptions.

Although a new kitchen is a big investment, Instyle consistently beats its competitors on price

If money is tight, an Instyle facelift can freshen up a tiredout kitchen for an excellent price.

Gary said: “New cupboard doors, worktops and flooring can give the feel of a new kitchen for a fraction of the cost.

We are completely flexible; even if someone just wants a new

Say Goodbye to Big Energy Bills BIOMASS BOILERS ~ SOLAR PV GROUND & AIR SOURCE HEAT PUMPS

W

ith the recent announcement of the increase in the Renewable Heat incentive payments, now is the ideal time to install a new renewable heating system.

By tapping into the earth’s naturally renewable resources, Pickering-based Peak Power Systems can help you be kinder to the environment while heating your home and helping you reduce your energy costs.

Peak Power Systems can help their customers cut their energy bills and take full advantage of government- backed schemes, which offer financial incentives for those who upgrade their old heating system in favour of new, efficient, cost effective systems, that can also be cheaper to run.

The Feed-In Tariff for solar panels is well known and has proved to be a good incentive for many homeowners.

The recently increased renewable heat incentive, or RHI, for Heat Pumps and Biomass boilers, means that these renewable energy heating systems are rapidly becoming the best option for heating many homes and businesses.

The RHI runs for seven years after installation and rewards customers with a quarterly payment directly into their bank accounts.

Impr ov Cash ed Ince ntive s

Debbie Bryant of Peak Power Systems said: “It’s never been easier to consider changing to a renewable heating system. The systems vary in size and capacity, and can be designed to suit any property.”

Biomass boilers are fuelled by wood pellets, delivered directly to your fuel store. Heat pumps extract heat from the air, or the ground, and heat your home without the need to burn any fuel. Like a traditional gas or oil-fired boiler, these systems provide heating and hot water for the property concerned.

“The first thing to do” says Debbie, “is to contact us and ask one of our fully-trained surveyors to visit your house to assess your heating requirements.

Adventure under Yorkshire's dark skies

T

he North York Moors National Park is home to some of the darkest skies in the UK. For Dark Skies Festival 2018, we’ve teamed up with the Yorkshire Dales National Park once again to celebrate all things celestial. For 17 days, the National Park will be filled with activity and awe-inspiring adventure to get you out and exploring our night sky.

With more than 50 events planned, the stellar lineup includes stargazing events, astro-photography workshops, planetariums, ghost walks, dark runs, owl prowls and for adrenaline junkies – a pitch black night zip! Thrill seekers will be able to plunge more than 200 metres into the darkness of Dalby Forest courtesy of Go Ape.

Throughout the Festival, our Inspired by… gallery at The Moors National Park Centre will be hosting two exhibitions that take inspiration from our dramatic night skies, featuring works by local artists, photographers and jewellery makes. For little stargazers, numerous family-friendly events are available too. As well as watching the dark skies’ starstudded cast, youngsters will be able to get crafty making rockets, telescopes and planet lanterns.

Discover the thrills, fun and nocturnal wildlife wonders that come with getting outside after dark, as well as simply marvelling the beauty of the National Parks’ pristine night skies in the company of astronomers.

Events and activities will be taking place all over the moors, coast and Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Join us this February for an unforgettable astrological adventure!

Pet Loss

Dr Sarah Hunter B.Vet Med MRCVS. Station House Vets • Having a ceremony • Talking about your pet • Displaying pictures or paintings of your pet Fostering an animal after the death of your pet can help with the grieving process whilst providing support for someone else, charities such as The Cinnamon Trust provide care for animals when their owner has gone into hospital or can no longer look after their animal. Their website provides more information about the services that they offer.

Losing a pet can be hard for any of us. Pets, however large or small become part of the family and it can be very distressing when they pass away or have to be put to sleep. However, it’s important to think about it before the time comes as it may be difficult to make decisions about euthanasia and after death care when emotions are running high.

For animals with a terminal illness it may be helpful to create a bucket list, for example: • Making a special meal • Having a pamper or grooming session • Having a photo or painting done • Allowing your pet to sleep on your bed • Taking a trip to a special place such as a beach or a park • Spending time with their animal friends Having your pet put to sleep can be a difficult decision to make, it can be helpful to discuss this with your vet as they can explain what signs to look out for and how to assess your pet’s quality of life.

When the time comes, it may be preferable to have the procedure done in your own home as the animal will be in familiar surroundings and won’t have the stress of a car journey coming to the practice.

After the procedure, you will be asked what your choice is for after death care, there are a number of options for cremation and it can be overwhelming at the time, to make things easier you could have a look at the options beforehand and discuss with friends or family members what may be the best way to remember your pet. Other ways to remember your pet include: • Making a memory box

We are always available to discuss your pet and help you to decide when the time is right, there is also a support line available through the Blue Cross which is open 8.30am-8.30pm by phoning 0800 096 6606, they can also be contacted by emailing pbssmail@bluecross.org.uk. The pet bereavement support service is free and provides trained volunteers for you to share your feelings with, especially after your pet has gone.

A Dog is for Life, not just Christmas We all know that ‘A dog is for life, not just for Christmas’, yet every year the council pounds are full of unwanted Christmas presents - puppies who have grown up a bit and are full of life and mischief. Many of these dogs are abandoned and left to fend for themselves, with no idea of why they have been dumped by their cruel owners.

It is often down to small local charities like RDR to give these dogs the lifeline they deserve. Our mission is to ‘Rescue, Rehabilitate, Rehome’ and as we have a non-destruction policy every single dog we rescue is guaranteed a safe forever home. Rescue dogs make fabulous pets and we will do our best to ensure we match you with a dog that will become a part of your family.

DOGS OF THE MONTH: Barney is a 5 year old Pug x ShihTzu who came into the rescue in a terrible state. He has now had all his vaccinations, been castrated and had a bit of a

makeover. He gets on fine with small dogs but can be a little ‘vocal’ around bigger ones. This isn’t aggression just a lack of socialisation in his previous life. Because of his breed a new owner must be prepared to have him groomed regularly and keep his face clean on a daily basis. In return they will have a little companion with a big character.

Benson is a 3 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier whose tail never stops wagging. Originally picked up as a stray, he’s an affectionate boy and loves people. He is fully vaccinated and has recently been castrated so hasn’t mixed with many other dogs as yet but those he has met he’s got along fine with. He loves to run and play so would be looking for an active home and preferably one with plenty of secure outside space and someone around the majority of the time.

For further information on Ryedale Dog Rescue please visit our website www.ryedaledogrescue.com or you can contact us on 07581 324153 (Please remember we are a charity run entirely by unpaid volunteers, most of whom work full-time, so please be patient and we will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you)

Christians know that there is one source of love which never hurts us or lets us down – that is God. The God of love sacrificed his own Son for the world because he loves us so much. God doesn’t want anyone to suffer hurt and pain but it is part of the world because we don’t always act in a loving way towards each other. God’s love is best seen in action in the way his Son Jesus behaved towards people. So perhaps this Valentine’s day you could make a loving gesture towards someone, maybe a person you find difficult to get on with, or someone who is lonely.

The more we show love to others, the better the world becomes. What better tribute to St Valentine?

Whether we have a romantic partner or not most of us have people we love and who love us. And, as we are human, we know relationships are not always easy, we make mistakes, we hurt people and get hurt.

alentine’s Day will soon be upon us and the shops are full of padded cards, bunches of flowers, chocolates or other special treats. It’s ironic that Valentine’s Day is also Ash Wednesday this year, the first day of Lent when people traditionally give something up, often chocolate!

Valentine was thought to be a third century Roman saint. The links with romance probably came because as a priest he would marry couples, and continued to do so even when Claudius, the Emperor, decreed marriage was illegal. He wanted men to join the army rather than get married!

So Valentine was put to death on February 14th because of his disobedience.

Pickering Hedgehog Rescue Needs Your Help Here are few tips:

• Any hedgehog out in the daylight at this time of year is in need of your help.

• Any small (under 650g) or injured hedgehogs will not survive the winter • If it fits into the palm of your hand it’s too small to survive • If it can’t curl up into a ball, it needs you.

• If it’s not a round ball-shape when curled up, it may be underweight.

Pickering Hedgehog Rescue is a newly created facility to take in and care for hedgehogs in and around our area. Working closely with Eastgate Vets, Whitby Wildlife Rescue and a member of the British Hedgehog Preservation Carers, this new venture is in need of your support to build its foundations.

W

ho doesn’t know what a hedgehog looks like? From Mrs Tiggy Winkle to Sonic the Hedgehog, these charming creatures are part of our wildlife heritage, but in recent years are suffering and their numbers have dropped dramatically from the 1950s to less than a million by 2013 according to recent wildlife surveys.

The reasons are varied, from increased housing estates, loss of open space and hedgerows and of course traffic. Sadly, this is the place most of us will now see them, knocked and killed on the tarmac and verges.

The increased use of slug pellets and garden chemicals not only kill and poison these handy garden assistants, but also take away a food source.

So local gardeners and allotment holders can help these nocturnal creatures by minimising use of these harmful chemicals, leaving twigs and leaves in the autumn, checking under bonfires before lighting and leaving gaps in fences so the hedgehogs can travel about in search of food. If you have a pond, make sure any thirsty hogs who accidentally fall in can scramble out using a rock or planting. Do not leave out milk – it will KILL them! Fresh water and dried cat or puppy food is best.

Do you have any old towels, fleece blankets, newspapers? Perhaps you have some washing powder that doesn’t suit? Or some kitchen rolls or disinfectant you can donate? Or maybe you have an old hamster cage or guinea cage that is no longer needed?

All of these things would be put to good use. These little hedgehogs just need a secure home to get better and survive the winter, but are not the cleanest of creatures. A daily regime of washing and changing the cages means a plentiful supply of newspapers is needed – and is another form of recycling those papers!

Perhaps you can donate some food – dry cat or puppy biscuits or some meat, preferably without gravy, as hedgehogs are not tidy eaters! If you know of anywhere willing to be a drop-off point, please do get in touch.

If you wish to know more, join the group’s Facebook page – Pickering Hedgehog Rescue.

To donate items, drop them off at The Sun Inn on Westgate Pickering or call Deryn on 07717 013 723 who will arrange collection.

These days most homeowners suffer from a lack of storage space. So many precious items that need to be kept – but where to store it all? That’s where Yorkshire Loft Ladders come in.

The company, based locally, offers homeowners the opportunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Mark Hodson explains: ‘Our watchwords are Quality,

Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served tradesmen so our customers are assured of the best job. Integrity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford. Our business relies on referrals and we got a huge amount of our calls from people who have been referred to us by our existing customers - that simply wouldn’t happen if we didn’t adhere to our overriding principles.

At the end of the day the old adage that happy customers

lead to more happy customers is true and we work hard to make that happen for every installation we carry out!’

So, if you want to make use of your loft space, however big or

small, call Mark on 0800 612 8359 and he’ll be happy to pop round and give you a no obligation quote so you too can make use of your loft!

Gardening Time to Get Pruning

• For a small hedge or to roughly reshape a shrub, a good, sharp pair of well-oiled shears should do the job. Angle the blades to make a level trimmed surface. To make a neat and level surface when cutting the top of a hedge, use a taut string as a guide line. For large hedges consider using a powered hedge cutter or hedge trimmer, but make sure you can use it safely!

At this time of year the weather is often perfect for pruning and cutting back woody plants, so take advantage of the fact that deciduous trees, shrubs, hedges and climbers are now devoid of leaves and get stuck in.

Here’s how to make sure your pruning will really benefit your plants:

• When removing stems at various heights and of varying thicknesses, use ‘loppers’, which are much better at cutting through relatively thick stems than shears or secateurs and yet also allow for accurate positioning of the cut. When cutting back branches above your head, wear protective headgear and goggles.

• Secateurs are used for the most precise pruning of smaller woody stems. Provided they are good and sharp, you can make a perfectly clean and accurate cut. Always cut to an outward-facing bud

(so that the new growth produced from that bud grows outwards). Secateurs are good for removing dead and dying stems as well as for formative pruning (where you are helping to ensure the plant grows in the direction you want it to), and for pruning to encourage flowering.

• To remove larger tree branches or if you have fruit trees to prune, then a pruning saw is the perfect tool. Use a sawing action for best results and make the cut a few millimetres from the main stem to which the branch you are removing is joined. A cut like this will heal quickly and the wound will be smaller and less prone to fungal rotting.

• Check the best pruning time for the plants you have in mind. Although most hedges and many shrubs can be cut back now, there are exceptions.

• Some trees - mainly those in the Prunus family such as cherries, plums, apricots, damsons, peaches and nectarines - are very prone to a potentially fatal fungal infection known as ‘silver leaf’. To reduce the likelihood of this, prune these trees in the summer unless there is no alternative.

• Pruning tools should be really sharp; if blunt, the job will need more effort and may result in damage to the plant from a jagged cut or crushed stems.

• Create sloping cuts whenever you can so that rain and moisture runs off (wetness encourages wood rotting), and cut close to but not on top of a bud to allow new growth without dieback - you will need to use secateurs, loppers or a saw to do this.

• Stand back from time to time when pruning to check the overall appearance of the plant and judge which part to tackle next, as close up it is harder to see how your pruning is affecting the overall shape of the plant.

Motoring Honda Civic Type R.

I

n the look-at-me stakes, Honda’s new Civic Type R screams attention-seeker with its trying-too-hard fins, wings and ice-white paintwork.

Honda appears to have added needless frippery to its new Type R, though they’ll tell you it’s about aerodynamics and downforce – but does that really matter on the A34? Inside, it’s much more traditional Honda formula. It’s a combination of harder plastics, an infotainment system that isn’t up to the standards of rivals and a seating position you’ll either love or hate. However, this is a machine that’s utterly fabulous on the road. Fast, grippy and with a gearbox that delights, it’s a hot hatch to take the fight to the very best in its class.

When started, the cackle from the exhaust sounds exactly how every hot hatch should. Moving off on smooth asphalt, the Type R feels well set up.

The ride is firm but a small amount of jostling is part and parcel of a hot hatch – particularly a fast Honda.

There’s next to no body roll, and the front two wheels cope admirably with the 316bhp being sent through them. You won’t torque steer either – the steering stays unaffected even when accelerating hard, and this gives you a huge amount of confidence.

The Type R has always been slightly tarred by that ‘boy racer’ brush. But this car has real character, something lacking in quite a few others on sale today.

The short, notchy six-speed manual is a joy to use, while the characterful engine provides more than enough shove to keep things interesting. Put simply, it’s a far more involving car to drive than you’d expect.

On these roads, the Type R seems perfect. Yes, the interior foibles could make it a difficult one to live with day-to-day and you’ll have to get used to the strange looks from passers-by, but on Welsh A-roads when the sun is (occasionally) shining, there are few cars quite like it.

The vernal sun extends the day, Loitering along a westering curve.

Bluebell spikes push through decay And starry primroses shimmer with verve.

Here and there, patches of white Cloak the peeping, timid verdure.

The dour easterly still has bite.

Unfazed, the storm-cock reassures.

Around a shrinking shroud of snow: Snowdrops boast a purer white, Indifferent they to joy or woe, Thriving whether dark or light.

Though a hoary breath still looms, Hungry bees chance the chill air, Lumbering cumbrously on sparse blooms.

Plundering the meagre fare.

The querulous bleats from anxious dams, Perpetuates the maternal mould.

The waggling tails of suckling lambs, Is joy unbounded to behold.

Hark back to when a roseate light, Saw Autumn’s seeds of plenty spilled.

Now from the shadows of waning night, A new beauty is distilled.
