Hello and welcome to issue number 129 of Signpost Magazine. They say that as you get older, time seems to fly and I have to say I agree, I really can’t believe we’re into May already.

We’ve got 2 bank holidays to enjoy this month and our friends at the award winning Treby Arms have got a great offer to tempt you, see page 37 for details. Plus, The Rose & Crown in Yealmpton are offering a complimentary glass of wine to Signpost readers (take a look at page 39 for full details).

Now the longer evenings have finally arrived, I’m looking forward to spending some time out in the garden. Now that I have Matts Mowing looking after my grass, I can just sit back and relax without having to think about getting the lawnmower out!

If you’re a regular ‘County Show’ goer like me, don’t forget it’s the Devon County Show on 19th May and next month we’ve got the Royal Cornwall Show to look forward to (see centre pages).

Enjoy!

Making the most of those precious lighter evenings & weekends!

I

t’s hard to believe it but Summer Solstice (the longest day) is next month!

The daffodils came out particulary early this year and the grass seems to be growing pretty fast too. So, it’s no surprise then that we will soon be entering the peak grass growing time of the year.

I find, having waited so long for the longer evenings to arrive, I want to enjoy my garden with a coffee in the sun or a BBQ rather than mowing my lawn (which can take up to 2 hours with my old lawnmower).

No, I prefer to let Matts Mowing take up the strain and it costs me much less than you might imagine.

Chris at Matts Mowing says “when we first meet a prospective customer we always give a free, no obligation individual quote and most people are surprised by how reasonable it is.”

Matts Mowing charge by the metreage so even a small garden can be mowed at an affordable price.

Their starter package is a two weekly cut that many people find sufficient

8

to keep their grass under control and make the space a usable ammenity for them.This particularly applies to the older clients or people with busy family and work lives.

However, Chris and Peter can also offer a weekly mowing service for the more manicured look, either through the season or at times like now when growth is at its peak.They try to be as flexible as they can for their customers as they know how circumstances change throughout the year.

Peter adds that in addition to mowing, he and Chris also offer a package of lawn treatments to transform your lawn such as weedkillers, fertilisation, scarifying throughout the season, and power washing paths.

If having a great looking lawn isn’t benefit enough, Matts Mowing also save me having to worry about servicing my lawnmower or paying for expensive breakdowns. Plus I always know how much I need to pay each month as the price is fixed for the whole season. On top of that, they try to visit on the same day each time so I know not to put out my washing!

To advertise call Lindsay on 01752 331688 or email: lindsay@signpostpublishing.co.uk

At the time of writing this I’m about to host a surprise birthday tea party for my mums 70th! Whilst I may be a bit worried about the weather not being kind to us, Chris & Peter have already been this week so there no need for me to worry about the grass.

Remember, regular mowing and treatments can help give you the lawn you always wanted - with Matts Mowing looking after your lawn, your garden can be a pleasure not a chore!

For a no obligation free quotation, give Peter or Chris a call now on 07837 223191. You may be surprised at how little it costs.

The Grass Can Be Greener

by Pippa Greenwood

Your garden should now be starting to look lush and green, with beds and borders beginning to come into their own. But if your lawn spoils it all, or you want to install one, now is the perfect time to get started.

PreParing the site Remove all weeds, large stones, debris and any old grass, then dig or fork over thoroughly to remove all taproots of weeds.

Kill off an old lawn or a weed infested site with weedkiller based on glyphosate, then strip it off or dig it in once it all dies off. Incorporate organic matter to improve moisture retention on sandy soils; on heavy soils dig in grit and organic matter for drainage.

Next, firm the whole area by treading it over evenly in flat-soled boots, then rake thoroughly and remove stones or other debris from the surface, treading gently down again if necessary.

Buying turf Buy turf from a reputable supplier which is suitable for your requirements – some, especially those including lots of dwarf ryegrass, are much tougher, while some contain a seed mixture for use in shade.

10

A ‘bowling green’ effect may look superb but will need more maintenance and be less hardwearing. Avoid cheaper turf as it can contain weeds, pests or diseases, or is simply not a good grass mixture.

Arrange delivery of turf when you need it and never store for more than two days. It can remain rolled up for up to 24 hours, but for any longer unroll immediately, lay out flat on paving or plastic sheeting and water regularly.

Laying the turf Lay turves closely together and do not allow the edges to overlap. For an even finish, joins on each row should be staggered, like bricks in a wall.

Lay the first row of turf using the adjacent path or lawn edging to form a straight line to work to. Roll out each turf carefully so that the edge abuts onto its neighbour.

Lay the next row, again ensuring that the long edges of each abut onto the long edges of the last row. To avoid damage, kneel on a plank placed over the previous row and continue until your new lawn is in position.

If you need a small section of turf to complete a row, add this in the middle of a row rather

than at the end so it is less likely to be dislodged or dry out. For a curved edge lay the turves so that they overlap the new lawn edge and cut to shape.

When finished, gently tamp the area over using the back of a rake and if any turves sink place some extra soil underneath until they are level.

Finally, brush in a mixture of horticultural sand and finely sieved soil over the surface, ensuring that gaps between the turves are filled in.

Care and maintenanCe Gently water the new lawn using a sprinkler, ensuring that the water penetrates right down to the root level.

Water regularly in dry weather, particularly for the first couple of months whilst the roots establish and avoid walking on it during this time. You will soon have a gorgeous lawn to be proud of.

Gadgets To Make Your Garden Grow Great gadgets for the green fingered

With the worst of the weather hopefully behind us, it’s time to turn to the great outdoors - and for many of us that means getting our gardens and hedges in shape. Technology can’t quite do the weeding or clipping for us just yet, but it can help in lots of other ways - including solving garden mysteries. If you’ve ever suspected that pets or other creatures have been damaging your plants, the TLC200 Green Camera is a weatherproof time lapse camera that’s designed to monitor your most precious plants and show you any skulduggery. At £139 it’s not cheap, but then neither are exotic plants that you might want to protect.

As battery technology continues to improve, tool companies are coming up with ever more useful cordless devices for garden use. Bosch’s Isio Cordless Shrub/Grass Shear (£36) is a great example: it’s a rechargeable clipper for shrubs, hedges and grass, and there’s also an optional extension handle that means you can use it without bending down, and a sprayer tank that turns the device into a spray for pesticides or fertiliser. You can get all kinds of cordless garden tools now, ranging from hand-held clippers to enormous 12

and faintly frightening tree limb loppers, but look for Lithium Ion battery packs, not the vastly inferior and less efficient Nickel Cadmium (NiCD).

We’ve been hearing about robot lawn mowers for years now, but every time we’ve looked at them we’ve been put off by the enormous price tags of around £2,000. That’s changing, and it’s now possible to get a decent sized robot lawnmower for around £800.

At the time of writing the Worx WG790E is £774 (the RRP is £899) and the Flymo Robotic Lawnmower is £835 (£998 RRP). The Flymo has a working area of 400 square metres and cuts 30 square metres per hour, and because it’s virtually silent you can get it to do its stuff when everybody’s asleep - and its anti-theft system means you don’t need to worry that somebody will steal it while you’re in bed. It’s not completely autonomous - you need to fit a wire to show it the garden’s boundary, or it’ll get lost - but it’s starting to look like an attractive way to keep your lawn in great condition.

While we’re on the subject of robots, if you’re thinking of investing in a leaf blower it might be worth considering a drone instead: a number of

YouTube clips show drones’ propellers quickly clearing leaves from driveways, and while drones are more expensive than leaf blowers (from a few hundred pounds for a good one compared to around £30 for a blower), you can’t use a leaf blower as a mobile camera or fun toy when you’ve finished tidying your garden.

One way to avoid cleaning up leaves is to prevent them from landing in the first place.

Say hello to the Garden Groom Pro, which has clearly been inspired by those home haircut devices you see in catalogues: it’s a £99 hedge trimmer with its own collection bag, automatically storing and mulching the clippings instead of throwing them all over the path. You’re going to feel a bit silly using it but the reward is a relatively mess-free finish, although it’s worth pointing out that at 7Kg plus the weight of the cuttings bag it’s quite heavy for protracted use. There is a smaller version, the Garden Groom Midi, which is £59.99 and weighs 2.7Kg.

PROFESSIONAL GARDENING NEW SALES DIRECTOR STRENGTHENS MANAGEMENT TEAM AT PARKINS Appointment is “huge boost for company”

Devon’s leading independent trade supplier of tools and equipment to general light industrial businesses has strengthened its management team with a new senior appointment.

Cath Mullin has joined Parkins as its new sales director with a remit to drive the sales strategy forward for the company including all routes to market.

Before joining Parkins Cath spent 18 years at timber and builders’ merchant giant Travis Perkins, working her way up from trainee to director of customer services responsible for around a third of the UK. “I had an excellent time working for Travis Perkins but felt the time was right to take on a new challenge,” she said. “After almost 20 years working for such a large, high-profile business the temptation was to join another huge company, however the opportunity to join the ambitious team at Parkins and contribute my experience to help grow the business really appealed.”

As well as being a sales expert the former Plymouth College student is heavily focused on customer service and says she is looking forward to meeting Parkins existing customers and attracting new ones to the independent tools specialist.

“What I love about Parkins is the fact all the people who work here are passionate about the products and know them inside out,” she said. “This is a huge advantage over our competitors because when you come to Parkins and speak to a sales adviser you know you’re speaking to a true expert who has used the products themselves and can advise with authority on the right tools for the job.”

Parkins director Nigel Godefroy described the appointment as “a huge boost for the company”.

“Cath’s knowledge and experience is up there with the best and her enthusiasm and ambition to help us grow the Parkins brand is infectious,” he said.

“The Parkins brand has been steadily growing over the last few years and it says a lot about what we have achieved that we have been able to recruit someone of Cath’s calibre and experience to take us to the next level.”

What is a cooling motor doing

G

ood question? Why on earth would you consider installing a cooling motor under the the bonnet of a car? The answer according to car manufacturer Fiat and fridge designer SMEG is because the refrigerator is not just an electrical appliance, and the bonnet is not just a car part of course!

The Smeg500 is the result of years of hard work between SMEG and Fiat when they merged to create an extraordinary new item for the ‘Fiat 500 Design Collection’. It celebrates a long-standing connection between

14

the two Italian companies (when Smeg was founded in 1948 by Vittorio Bertazzoni, its refrigerators came off Fiat’s production lines).

Vittorio Bertazzoni, Smeg’s CEO and Vittorio’s grandson, says ‘for me, creating the SMEG500, was above all a matter of personal honour. I strongly believed in this project as it pays tribute to the memory of my grandfather.’

This quirky fridge has got to be seen to be believed but don’t worry, you’re not going to have to travel to Italy to see one as luckily enough, Arrital Kitchens have installed one

under the bonnet of a Fiat 500? in their showroom in Estover..

The Smeg500 fridge is heralded as ‘an iconic place for food’ and that’s not just a fashion statement. This is a fully functioning fridge that’s been handmade with genuine, original Fiat 500 parts. When you ‘pop the hood’ you’ll find 100 litres of storage which are accessed by two sliding doors. It’s ‘A+ rated and has an automatic defrost function. It also features three removable bottle holders and a removable shelf for canned drinks. It even has fully working headlights!

Nick Manton of Arrital Kitchens Plymouth says “As a design led company, we’re delighted to feature this iconic fridge in our showroom design. At Arrital we like to look at kitchen design from a different angle and this retro fridge just goes to show that we believe ‘anything goes’ in a kitchen!”

So, whether it’s a high tech kitchen with all the latest fast lane gadgetry you’re after or, if you prefer something more in the slow lane (with perhaps a bit of understated oomph under the bonnet when needed), Arrital Kitchens can help.

Why not pop in and take a look at what they have to offer. No driving licence required!

Home & Interiors Spruce Up Your Home Office

Dodgy desk, awkward chair or overflowing shelves? It’s time to give your home office a facelift, says Katherine Sorrell We all need some sort of working space at home, whether it’s a corner of the kitchen that’s used for occasional catching up with emails or a high-spec office with all the bells and whistles necessary for full-time self-employment.

But is yours really working hard for you? Just a few small improvements will go a long way in making your workspace more comfortable, functional and attractive.

It may sound obvious, but a good place to start is with a clear out and a tidy up.

Chances are, you don’t really need all that stuff you’ve accumulated. Take the time to go through your old paperwork, stationery, books and other bits and pieces; give it away, recycle it, file it away somewhere well out of the way or put it in the bin, as appropriate, and you’re bound to create a great deal of extra space. Then, pay attention to any messy and inconvenient cabling, and sort it out with extension leads, cable clips or even by asking an electrician to add an extra double plug socket in a handy place. Doesn’t that feel better already?

Next: your desk. If you are still running out of room, you could consider adding a small worktop to one side of your existing desk (an

By Katherine Sorrell

L-shaped workspace can be very ergonomic). Alternatively, it’s likely that you could dramatically improve your organisation with a new desk that incorporates drawers, cubby holes, shelves or whatever other type of storage you most need. If you are able to use nearby walls, try to lift as much as possible off the surface of your desk by introducing wall-mounted storage such as shelves, pin boards, peg boards (very trendy), hanging racks and the like. Anything that stacks is bound to be useful, too.

Before you know it, you’ll be able to see your laptop once again.

Most of us never have quite enough storage, and that probably goes for home offices more than any other space in the house. If you’re looking to buy more storage, you may be happy with a conventional filing cabinet and/or bookcase, but don’t be afraid to look beyond the usual office suppliers: vintage and industrial pieces can really come into their own here, adding an element of unexpected style that will really brighten up your work time. Add boxes, baskets, trolleys, racks and desktop accessories in colours and textures that suit your space and emphasise your personal style.

Thinking along these lines, if space isn’t the problem, but

Motoring Geneva Motor Show 2016 By James Baggott The Geneva Motor Show is one of the biggest events on the automotive calendar, and is an opportunity for the largest car manufacturers in the world to showcase their new models and technology. With hundreds of stands spread across vast halls, the motor show at Geneva gives a real insight into the direction that the motor industry is heading.

Renault Scenic Putting the humble Scenic above a fire-breathing Bugatti may seem a little odd, but the MPV’s importance can’t be understated. This size of vehicle has been waning in popularity of late, owing to the growth of the SUV and crossover in the family car market. The Scenic is hoping to fight back, bringing with it more radical styling and a design that will no doubt attract younger buyers back to the MPV. Jaguar F-Type SVR It may have a snarling cat on the bonnet, but this is no ordinary Jaguar.

Set to be the company’s fastest production car, this latest Jaguar is the first to have been worked on by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operation department. Capable of 200mph, the SVR is faster and lighter than a standard F-Type – and is £20,000 more expensive, too.

Sitting at £110,000, the SVR features a deployable rear spoiler and added aerodynamic pieces designed to make it as stable as possible at high speed.

Alpine Vision Concept French manufacturer Alpine is hoping to make a grand return to the motoring world with its Vision Concept. A reveal in Monaco confirmed that the display vehicle is 80 per cent of the production car – and breaks with Alpine tradition by mounting the engine in the middle of the car rather than the rear. If the concept is popular enough, it will no doubt propel Alpine into a full return to form.

Audi Q2 Audi’s Q-series of cars has been ever-popular, offering drivers a raised ride height while maintaining excellent on-road characteristics. The Q2 will be the smallest of Audi’s SUVs, with entry-level models coming with front-wheel drive. Of course, more expensive Q2s will come with Audi’s popular Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which should mean that despite its diminutive size the Q2 will still be a capable off-road vehicle.

Volvo V90 The V90 joins the 90 Series range, with both estate and saloon built on Volvo’s ‘Scalable Platform Architecture’. Available with petrol, diesel or plug-in hybrid set-ups, there’s also the choice of an all-wheel-drive mode, too. With Volvo’s history of producing reliable and good looking estate cars, we expect this one to be popular with families when it goes on sale later this year.

Bugatti Chiron Everyone knows of the legendary Bugatti Veyron, the W16-powered, 250mph hypercar, which has spent 11 years at the top of the motoring chain. It’s time, however, for a new model. Enter the Chiron.

Named after Bugatti’s most successful driver, Louis Chiron, this latest model is reported to produce more than 1,400bhp and is capable of 288mph. The Chiron has been completely redesigned, but does contain elements of the Veyron. Likely to be the car of the event, the Chiron should completely rewrite the rule book in terms of speed and acceleration.

MOTORING

Courtesy Or Calamity?

On today’s crowded roads, driving care, courtesy and politeness go a long way to a calmer motoring experience for everyone. But some drivers let things swing the other way and end up being just as dangerous as the maniacs.

Many dual carriageways have a short slip road and it is quite common to have to wait for a safe gap to appear before joining the traffic. I was waiting in exactly that situation recently and an approaching driver slowed down to a crawl and flashed their lights as an indication that they were letting me in.

The car behind barrelling along at 60-70+, was suddenly presented with brake

ASSMU iooraso p midtn prootee yP nrV a sawne t rsernsvs isssc &le Luggage tPt s eC eiphetrs BCepup p oriN,ta Et8 veostse niD rTgiecrc Covering Plymouth & South Hams

lights and, with traffic to the right of them, nowhere to go. I could see the anchors go on, the rubber smoke from the tyres and the nose pitch down as the driver fought to bring the car to a halt. I was paralysed by the possible ensuing disaster so never did pull out.

In fact the Highway Code says the flashing of lights should only be used to warn other drivers of your presence, not as an “Ok, go ahead” message.

However, waiting to turn right out of a junction in heavy traffic, someone giving way is often the only way to get out. But if you are the ‘givewayee’ in this situation, don’t just slow down and flash, come to a safe halt so there can be no misunderstanding of your intention.

By all means be courteous, but don’t abandon the basics of safe driving e.g. checking your mirrors, just to help someone else.

Thai Beef Salad Ready in 50 minutes, plus marinating time

Serves 4

This colourful and fragrant main-meal salad is great for easy entertaining. Choose thick pieces of steak and take care not to overcook them or they will become tough and chewy.

Ingredients: • • • • • • • • • • •

2 x 175g sirloin steaks 1 tbsp lime juice 2 tbsp light soy sauce 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed 1 tsp dried chilli flakes 6 spring onions, trimmed and thinly sliced 8 radishes, trimmed and thinly sliced 100g fresh bean sprouts 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced 4 firm plum tomatoes, quartered 200g mixed salad leaves

FOR THE DRESSING • • • • •

36

juice of 2 limes 2 tbsp Thai fish sauce 2 tsp brown sugar 1 tbsp fresh chopped coriander 1 tsp finely chopped lemon grass

Place the steak in a shallow dish. Mix together the lime juice, soy sauce, garlic and chilli flakes. Season with freshly ground black pepper and cover and leave to marinate for 1 hour.

Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle until very hot. Add the steak and cook for 4-6 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan, cover with foil and leave to rest for 15 minutes.

Toss together the spring onions, radishes, bean sprouts, cucumber, tomatoes and salad leaves. Mix together all the dressing ingredients, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Slice the warm steak thinly across the grain.

Toss gently into the salad with the dressing.

Pile into a large shallow serving dish and serve immediately, or leave to cool and serve chilled.

TIP Lemon grass stalks are sold in small packs

by the fresh herbs in the supermarket.

You only need a small amount to give an extra zesty fragrance to the dressing but the stalks will keep for 1-2 weeks in the fridge. Try adding chopped to curries, fruit salads or infuse in hot water for a refreshing alternative to tea.

Sift over the flour and baking powder and add the hazelnuts and chocolate chips. Knead on a lightly floured surface to a soft dough, adding a little more flour if the dough seems sticky.

Divide the dough into two pieces and using lightly floured hands shape each to a 18cm x 8cm log.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until firm and light golden. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and leave to cool for about 10 minutes.

FOOD & DRINK

Beer of the Month

Something like 1,000 new breweries have opened in Britain in the last 10 years, and even though pubs are closing and alcohol consumption is dropping, almost none of them have gone bust. Clearly they’re doing something right, and much bigger, older, uglier breweries are trying to figure out what. And – joining being a function of not beating – some pretty unlikely candidates are turning to that ol’ sincerest form of flattery.

The unlikeliest of them all being Guinness, perhaps the biggest one-product beer factory in the world.

Back in December we had a look at Guinness’s West Indies Porter and we liked it. Now it’s summer and we’re looking at Guinness Golden Ale (4.5% abv), and do we like that too? Well, no. For a start, it’s not golden – in fact it’s closer to copper than gold. And then there’s the nose: “like feet, or warm Stilton – lactic and sour,” was one comment. “Sugary – diabetic trucker’s pee,” was pithier still. The palate?

“Thin and sharp.” “Where’s the malt?” “Soda water.” And the finish? Short and sharp with a hint of sour apple. So, not a favourite, then.

From Black Sheep of Masham, North Yorkshire, which celebrated its silver anniversary last year, comes a more promising attempt at a “craft” beer. Black Sheep is best known for its eponymous bitter, which is a superbly executed albeit dead traditional malty brown beer formulated with the Yorkshire palate firmly in mind. A golden ale, whose floral hop aroma should burst out of the glass at you like a flower-filled hand grenade, is something of a departure. Have they nailed it with Golden Sheep (4.7%)? Yes they have – although admittedly its more of a fruiterer’s than a florist’s.

This is a Yorkshire thing. Yorkies are more about malt than hops and a golden ale is usually more about hops than malt – most even have a dose of wheat malt to keep that body light.

But this is a curvaceous mill-girl of a beer: malty nose with notes of lime and cherry; rounded Pimms-y palate ripe with strawberries; then green fruit or even apricot in a long, astringent, thirst-quenching finish. By the ‘eck! Wakes week must be early this year!

Beauty Spring Is In The Air

by Kate Duggan www.kateduggan.co.uk

This month we’re talking oils, hair dyes and (ouch) waxing.

Summer is just around the corner, so we can no longer hide away under layers of winter woollies…

We beauty writers tend to focus on new launches. We’re a bit like magpies – easily distracted by new shiny things. But this month I thought I’d celebrate an underrated classic – Fenjal. Just a whiff of the bath oil conjures up images of my grandma, who’s used it since I was tiny. I’m reminded of her every time I open my Fenjal Classic Shower Oil, £5.49, but that’s not the only reason I love it. Packed with natural oils, including grapeseed and soy, it leaves my skin feeling really soft and lightly scented.

I’m a big fan of botanical oils and use at least one every day. On my ‘to-buy’ list is andiroba oil. And it’s not just me; according to Lorraine Dallmeier of Formula Botanica, this golden Central American oil has ‘attracted great interest from the cosmetic industry in recent years for its potential anti-inflammatory properties.’ She explains,

‘This oil will nourish your dry and sensitive skin and as an added bonus, it will also repel insects, which makes it an ideal choice for packing when you go on your summer holiday!’ Fancy learning more about natural oils?

Formula Botanica has a wide range of online courses, teaching students how to select and blend natural skincare ingredients.

Light coloured hair can easily look dull and lifeless, so my go-to hair shampoo this month is the PRO:VOKE Touch Of Silver Brightening Shampoo. I start by prepping with the Pre-Toning Primer, which adds shine and smooths cuticles. The shampoo’s violet pigment then helps to neutralise brassiness and protect my colour. Finally, the intensive conditioner undoes some of the damage caused by my highlighting habit. Plus, as the range starts at just £3.19 in Boots, it doesn’t break the bank.

Alzheimer’s: How Can We Fight Back?

Alzheimer’s is the most common type of dementia in the UK, affecting over 500,000 people - and public awareness is higher than ever, thanks partly to Terry Pratchett’s well-publicised diagnosis and death. But as we welcome Dementia Awareness Week (May 15th-21st), are we any closer to understanding Alzheimer’s causes - and preventing or curing it?

What Causes Alzheimer’s?

In Alzheimer’s patients, betaamyloid protein builds up to form ‘plaques’ or ‘tangles’ in the brain, preventing nerve cell connections and eventually causing loss of brain tissue.

There is also a neurotransmitter shortage.

These problems produce dementia symptoms such as memory loss, behaviour changes and a decreased ability to process information and stimuli, which increase in number and severity over time.

Can We Prevent Alzheimer’s?

Some risk factors for Alzheimer’s are unavoidable.

Alzheimer’s is more common if: • You’re over 65 (occurrence rapidly increases over 85).

• There is a family history of Alzheimer’s or you carry the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene or MTHFD1L gene.

46

Other genes are specifically responsible for rare, earlyonset Alzheimer’s (although this is not solely hereditary).

• You have Down’s syndrome, which can cause amyloid plaque build-up in the brain.

• You’re a woman – even accounting for your longer lifespan, although it’s not clear why.

Avoidable risk factors: • Excessive alcohol intake.

• Heart disease risk factors such as smoking (including passive smoking), lack of exercise, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and being overweight.

• A lack of mental activity - so keep your mind active by reading, playing strategic games (e.g. chess) or completing word puzzles.

Diabetes, depression and head injury also increase the risk of Alzheimer’s. While not necessarily ‘avoidable’, you can lower your chance of developing depression and diabetes through lifestyle choices, seek treatment for depression, and wear a helmet when biking or engaging in hazardous pursuits to reduce risk of head injury.

Although more research is required, recent studies suggest risk can also be reduced by: • Sleeping on your side rather than your back or stomach, allowing the brain to remove waste products more efficiently.

• Getting enough sleep.

• Reducing your stress.

• Staying sociable and avoiding loneliness.

• Following the MIND diet: plenty of vegetables (in particular, green leafy ones), along with nuts, berries,

beans, whole grains, fish, poultry, olive oil and wine (in moderation), and limiting intake of red meats, butter, hard margarine, cheese, pastries, sweets, and fried or fast foods.

Can We Cure Alzheimer’s?

Not yet. However, there are treatments to alleviate symptoms.

Cognitive Stimulation: enjoyable activities that stimulate thinking and encourage engagement.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy): to help sufferers discuss concerns and adopt more positive ways of thinking.

Alternative Therapies such as aromatherapy, massage or music therapy.

Drug treatments: cholinesterase inhibitors such as Donepezil (Aricept), Galantamine (Reminyl) and Rivastigmine (Exelon) increase levels of the neurotransmitter acetycholine, They can sometimes improve brain function in sufferers with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s. For severe Alzheimer’s (or moderate Alzheimer’s, unresponsive to cholinesterase inhibitors), Memantine (Ebixa or Axura) may slow the decline in brain function.

Medicines to reduce depression, agitation, anxiety and aggression may also be given.

Hope for the Future Researchers are working on Alzheimer’s prevention, identification of further genetic markers and potential treatments such as ultrasound waves and drugs already used for diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.

Worried About Losing Your Job? Your Rights As An Employee

If your employer is struggling financially, you might be worried about losing your job. Many companies go into administration rather than liquidation, however, which means that it’s not necessarily the end for the business.

Companies can be restructured and sold on as a ‘going concern,’ with staff being transferred over to a new employer under strict protective regulations. Unfortunately, other companies do enter a liquidation process which effectively closes them down, and results in the unavoidable loss of all jobs.

Your emploYer goes into administration The process of administration provides a breathing space for your employer to obtain professional advice, and consider all possible options to save the company. They may be experiencing temporary cash flow problems, in which case there’s a chance the business could be sold on.

If this happens, the first 14 days are crucial for employees.

• If you’re made redundant during this period, you become an ‘ordinary creditor’ and are placed at the bottom of the list for payment.

• If you’re retained as an employee after the initial 14-days, this makes you a 52

‘preferential creditor’ and puts you in a better position financially if you’re made redundant later on.

What You can claim as a preferential creditor You’ll be able to claim for: • Any salary or commission outstanding for the four months leading up to closure, up to a maximum of £800 in total.

• Up to six weeks of accrued holiday pay.

• Some occupational pension payments.

It’s often the case, though, that insufficient funds are generated from the sale of business assets to pay most creditors. In these instances you can turn to the National Insurance Fund for help. the national insurance fund (nif) The National Insurance Fund holds cash reserves that cover payments including redundancy, salary and holiday pay. You may be entitled to make a claim in this way if: • You’ve not been able to obtain full payment as a preferential creditor.

• You were made redundant during the first 14 days of administration.

• The company was liquidated straight away.

At the time of writing, the limit on payments via the National Insurance Fund is £475 per week, with £14,250 being the maximum amount of statutory redundancy pay available in each case.

When the period of administration ends The worst-case scenario at the

end of administration is that the company closes down. All jobs will be lost, but you may be eligible to claim the redundancy pay mentioned above, depending on certain criteria.

You must have worked for your employer for a continuous period of two years in order to be eligible, with the amount due being based on your weekly pay, age, and the length of time that you’ve worked at the same place. the process of transferring to a neW companY If your employer’s business has been sold to another company, specific rules protect your rights as an employee.

The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment), or TUPE legislation, ensures that employment terms and conditions at the point of transfer are protected in the main. This is a reassuring aspect in what is often an unsettling experience for members of staff.

What happens if the business is liquidated?

During a liquidation process, all business assets have to be sold in order to generate as much cash as possible to repay creditors. Unfortunately this often means that employees get very little, if any money, which is where claiming via the NIF is extremely helpful. https://www.gov.uk/redundantyour-rights/redundancy-pay https://www.citizensadvice.org. uk/work/work-comes-to-anend/redundancy/redundancypay/#h-who-has-the-right-tostatutory-redundancy-pay

more from Fitz this month ...........

It has been an interesting month. I have suddenly taken an interest in my appearance. Normally I look like I have been sleeping rough and if you should ever catch sight of my shoes……well…at one point, a pair were held together with masking tape. But I have discovered Herring Shoes in Kingsbridge, a fine family run establishment, and I must admit that in the past month I have spent more on shoes than I have done in the past ten years. My mother-in-law, who is staying with us at the moment, marvelled at the quality and then decided to tell me of her latest ‘bargain’ pair.

‘Only £7.00,’ she said showing me her purchase. ‘They were the last pair in the sale.’ I had to admit that they looked good and for £7.00 a real bargain.

‘Yes,’ she continued.

‘This one is a seven and this one is an eight!’

As I said…bargain and on the bright side they were left and right.

I have rats at the moment. They live in the garden recycling bin and have noisy parties at night. My cats have been hanging around the bin for days.

They have in turn invited their mates to ‘hang around’ the bin as well. Nobody actually does anything! Both mine and the neighbours cats seem to have lost the ‘what a cat does’ manual. So after getting fed up with watching cats, watching rats, I went along to my local hardware store ‘Lawsons’ and enquired about tiny rat landmines.

‘Poison,’ said a very helpful assistant.

54

‘Really!’

‘It’s the only way,’ all you have to do is sprinkle it around their hole!’

‘Sounds tricky. Do they stand still long enough?’

It wasn’t funny then and now I have written it down…..I wish I hadn’t bothered. Mind you, I could always throw a pair of shoes at them, the seven might miss but the eight is a little heavier.

The month ended with a short meeting about 2020, the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrim Fathers leaving Plymouth and arriving in The New World. Great celebrations are planned with Plymouth at the heart of things.

The Queen will be invited to America and The President will return to Great Britain and thus to Plymouth Hoe. This is of course all up in the air at the moment and the meeting did take a sudden shuddering turn when I pointed out that Obama will not be the president in 2020 and are we really happy to welcome President Trump to Plymouth Hoe! What if it’s a windy day for a start?

As I said, it’s all up in the air….like his fringe.

Still, I can recommend the Plymouth Gin distillery tour for whoever will be the American leader in 2020 but if the Whitehouse reads this, just be careful when you book the time of the tour. I was invited at 3.45pm one Saturday afternoon. I don’t remember Saturday evening!

ENTERTAINMENT/LEISURE

Thinking Of A Guinea Pig As Your Family Pet? Guinea pigs can be an ideal choice for young families looking for a ‘low profile’ pet.

Although certainly low profile in terms of size, they live for five to six years on average so this is not a short-term commitment.

As inherently social animals they are happiest when living as part of a group, or with one other guinea pig. It’s not a good idea to buy two male guinea pigs together, however, unless they are from the same

litter.

Human contact is also very important, and they will thrive on gentle interaction with you and your family.

Are there any specific health issues to consider?

Eye and respiratory problems are often experienced, and are usually caused by a reaction to dusty bedding or by being in a draught. It’s important to provide them with a constant supply of dust-free hay, and toys they can chew on to prevent their front teeth from growing excessively.

A diet rich in vitamin C will help to keep them healthy.

PETS Dark green leafy vegetables are ideal, as are oranges and melons, which help to redress their natural vitamin C deficiency. Make sure they also have a constant supply of fresh water, either in a heavy bowl or a gravity-fed bottle attached to their cage.

Guinea pigs need to feel secure, both inside their hutch and when they’re being handled. Always pick them up with both hands, and either sit down or hold them close to your body to keep them safe. http://www.petsathome.com/ shop/en/pets/guinea-pig-careadvice

Guess who’s reading Signpost ?

Let us know who’s reading yours..........

Last month’s Guess Who Celebrity was television journalist Angela Rippon.

Angela was born in Plymouth, Devon, into a workingclass family. Her father, John, was a Royal Marine; she first saw him in 1947 when he returned from World War. Angela Rippon’s Scottish mother, Edna, worked at a fine china company called Lawley’s and was also a seamstress.Angela attended a girls’ grammar school in Plymouth and has been a familiar face and voice in British broadcasting for over 40 years. The career of this award winning journalist has embraced an impressive variety of programmes on both radio and television for both Commercial and BBC stations in Britain, America and Australia.

The scope and quality of her work has been recognised by the Royal Television Society who entered her into their Hall of Fame in 1996.

In 2002 she was voted European Woman of Achievement and in the Queen’s Birthday Honours of 2004 she was awarded an OBE in recognition of her services to Broadcasting, Charity and the Arts.

Trained as a journalist in her home town of Plymouth, Angela worked for both BBC Plymouth and the ITV station Westward Television before joining BBC National News in 1973. She was appointed the first woman journalist newsreader in l975 and made two memorable appearances in the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Shows.

Angela was a founder member of the commercial breakfast service TV-am in 1982 and in 1984 moved to America to work for CBS in Boston.

Their complex structure is easily damaged if knocked or dropped. Frames are also sensitive to, and can be damaged by the surrounding environment, particularly extremes and changes in humidity and heat, as well as dirt and light damage. To maintain a painting and frame depends largely on keeping it in a suitable environment, sensible handling, storage and appropriate display.

It’s A Mystery Few things beat curling up with a good mystery. Whether you prefer a classic whodunit, a gritty crime novel, or a supernatural thriller, there’s sure to be something to tempt you in our pick of the latest releases.

In the Dark, In the Woods – Eliza Wass While aimed at the young adult audience, In the Dark, In the Woods definitely crosses the age barrier. Castley Cresswell lives with her siblings, broken mother and domineering father, in a rundown house in the woods. Her father tells her that they are the chosen ones, and that he is God’s conduit.

As with all teenagers, Castley struggles with being ‘different’ from her school peers, and starts to question her parents’ ideology. Will she find the strength to break free from her father? Will he let her?

Quiet Neighbors – Catriona McPherson Needing a place to run, Jude flees to a Scottish town, and the quiet solace of the tumbledown bookstore. Staying in a gravedigger’s cottage, she begins to unravel some of the town’s closely-guarded secrets. This is a novel of quiet mysteries to puzzle over, rather than a gruesome whodunit.

Nevertheless, the characters will keep you turning the pages until night has fallen and your tea has long gone cold.

Switcheroo – Aaron Elkins Switched identities, unsolved murders and a gorgeous setting to boot, Switcheroo has them all. This is Elkins’ 18th book featuring the forensic anthropologist Gideon Oliver, and fans say it’s one of the best to date. Investigating a cold case in Jersey dating from the 1960s, Gideon discovers a web of deceit, dating to before the war, when two boys were swapped by their fathers. Not quite as gripping as some in the genre, Switcheroo is nevertheless a very enjoyable read.

What She Never Told Me – Kate McQuaile Back in Ireland due to her mother’s death, Louise is hoping to finally find out who her father is. Does a stranger hold the answers? Who is the little girl in her memories and why do they leave her feeling so unsettled? A psychological thriller with twists and turns aplenty, this could well end up on this year’s bestseller list.

Prepare to put everything aside for a few hours, as you won’t want to put it down. A must for fans of Before I go to Sleep, Girl on a Train and Little Face.

The Deadlock Trilogy Box Set – P.T. Hylton If you like your mysteries to have a supernatural edge to them, and more than a touch of horror, The Deadlock Trilogy needs to be on your wish list.

Convict Frank returns to his childhood home - a backwater town in Tennessee - to find that things have taken a turn for the bizarre. Brilliantly original, well-plotted and skilfully narrated, this trilogy is a real find. Perfect for fans of early Stephen King.

The Hollow Men - Rob McCarthy Police surgeon Dr Harry Kent is known as a man with a weakness for lost causes. So when a teenager takes a group of people hostage, then later seems to be in clear danger himself, Harry can’t help but get involved. As he works to find out what drove the boy to such desperate measures, Harry starts to uncover a trail of deception and cruelty. Gritty, tense and fast paced, this is the first in a new series starring Dr Harry Kent, and fans are already clamouring for more.
