Caring for your pet

V

eterinary charity PDSA is urging owners to keep their pets safe in the sun, to protect them from dangerous conditions such as heatstroke and cancer.

PDSA vet, Olivia Anderson-Nathan, said ‘Although we might be aware of the risks of the sun to ourselves, many owners are unaware that our pets face the same dangers of sunburn, heatstroke and even skin cancer. Heatstroke, for example, can have devastating consequences. Bear in mind on a hot day that dogs can’t control their body temperature the way we can.

They are wearing a fur coat, and as they only have sweat glands in their paws they mainly cool down through panting, which isn’t very effective.’

Olivia continued ‘One of the most dangerous causes of heatstroke or hyperthermia is leaving pets inside a vehicle during warm or hot weather. But leaving them in the garden for too long without shade, or taking them for a walk during the hottest part of the day, can also be very dangerous. Any dog can get heatstroke, but this is especially important for owners of flat-faced, overweight or chronically ill dogs to consider, as they will be at even greater risk.’

The temperature inside cars during warm weather can rapidly soar, leaving pets inside at risk of suffering fatal heatstroke. The charity warns that common measures like parking in the shade or keeping the windows open are not effective, as temperatures inside the car can still sky-rocket in these circumstances.

Exposure to heat and direct sunlight can cause serious cases of heatstroke and excessive sun exposure can even cause skin cancer in some unlucky pets with light-coloured fur, which affords even less protection from the UV rays.

PDSA vets are urging owners to take extra care to keep their beloved four-legged friends safe.

minutes, which can cause fatal heatstroke. ‘Not long’ is too long.

• Avoid exercising pets during the hottest hours of the day.

Instead, go out early in the morning or in the evening.

Keep strenuous exercise to a minimum and give them constant access to cool, indoor areas.

• Use a pet-safe sun cream

recommended by your vet, especially on pets with white or thin fur, focusing on the nose and ears.

• If you see unexplained sores

or ulcers on your pets’ skin, see a vet urgently. Early diagnosis and treatment may save your pet’s life.

• Never leave pets in cars,

conservatories or caravans, even for a short time.

Even on a cloudy day with the windows open, the temperature can soar dangerously high in just a few

• Make sure your pets always have access to fresh water.

The Ace of Spades

L

ooking to create some unforgettable memories for the summer of 2018? Then why not head to Blackpool and you can see for yourself why this is the UK’s favourite beach resort with the ‘Bucket and Spade’ guide list.

Not only have we got sand and sea, more shows, attractions and entertainment than you can shake a stick at, we have also got a collection of unique experiences that will simply blow your mind!

1. Dare To Ride It is fast. Very fast. The question is: Are you brave enough to ride ICON, the UK’s first double launch rollercoaster? The new £16m ride at Blackpool Pleasure Beach will take you on an exhilarating journey where you will experience the same acceleration as a Formula 1 driver before twisting and turning at high speed across the park. Prepare to be wowed!

2. Marvel At The Super-Heroes It’s time to come face-to-face with the Marvel super-heroes at Blackpool’s Madame Tussauds.

Enter an ice cave and get up close and personal with the God of Thunder himself, before attempting to lift Thor’s legendary hammer. Surrounded by debris and destruction, confront the Hulk in a New York street and see if you are strong enough to lift a taxi! Or if all that’s too much, settle for a selfie with the likes of Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Nick Fury or Spiderman.

3. Bop Along To Britney Spears The world’s biggest pop star has performed on every major stage in the world. But she’s never performed on the iconic seafront in the shadow of The Blackpool Tower – until now! Britney will be bringing her huge Vegas-style production to the Tower Festival Headland on the night of Saturday 1 September. You do not want to miss this.

4. Try The Ultimate Escape Head into the eerie world of The Blackpool Dungeon and see if you can escape the noose before time runs out. This spine-tingling Escape Room adventure with a twist will determine whether you lose your head under pressure and find yourself locked in the murky depths of a castle to meet your fate. Be afraid – the clock is already ticking.

5. Tickle A Tapir Accompanied by a keeper at the brilliant Blackpool Zoo, you will head inside the tapir enclosure to meet these most gentle of creatures. As you handfeed them some of their favourite foods, you can get a close-up view of their strange looking snouts.

And then it’s time get down to business – it’s tickle time! This is just one of many unforgettable animal experiences at the Blackpool Zoo. 6. Brave The Cave Twist and climb your way through a network of tunnels at the North West’s first indoor caving system. The attraction at Ascent Trampoline Park in Blackpool is a fully immersive experience with a series of special effects and hidden tunnels.

Ascent will provide the torch and hard hat, you just need to bring along the bravado.

30

7. Take A Leap Of Faith Dare you take a walk of faith at the top of Blackpool Tower?

Step out of the lift 380 feet up and the thrilling SkyWalk awaits you. It’s a five centimetre-thick glass platform where you can look out over the Irish Sea and look down on the famous Golden Mile below you. It’s a viewing experience you will never forget!

8. Snorkel With Sharks It’s a big step up from swimming with the fishes. This is a unique, exhilarating experience where you will come face to face with more than 20 sharks and other spectacular marine life in Blackpool’s SEA LIFE Centre. It’s your very own 15-minute Jaws adventure which will be followed by a behind-the-scenes tour to learn about shark breeding, conservation and food preparation (don’t panic you are not the food!).

9. Take The Plunge Picture the scene: You are on the roof of the Sandcastle Waterpark building on South Promenade. Just one thing stands between you and the tropical waters below. Well two things actually: The colossal Montazooma mat slide with 360 degree loops and back-to-back turns, or the Aztec Falls, an electrifying pitch-black descent into a giant bowl. The choice is yours…..

10. Ride The Lights Get ready for an electrifying and magical cycle ride under Blackpool’s world-famous Illuminations. Head for the seafront on Tuesday 28 August and you can join thousands of riders as they travel along the Promenade for a sneak preview of the 2018 Lights in a totally traffic-free environment. This is bike riding – but not as you know it!

11. Walk The Big One You might be brave enough to ride The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach – but dare you walk to the summit of its famous slope? Join an escorted climb to the top of the 235ft hill for an experience you will never ever forget! Selected dates until October.

12. Tango In The Tower Ballroom Your chance to follow in the footsteps of the multitude of celebrities who have taken to the ballroom floor in Strictly.

Nothing will quite prepare you for the magnificence of the Blackpool Tower Ballroom or the joy of dancing in one of the most famous dance venues on the planet.

Equity Release – how to get your property wealth working for you

R

ecent data published by Halifax indicated that UK house prices in October 2017 were 2.3% higher than the previous quarter. The fastest rate of growth since January 2017.

As house prices continue to rise, many of the UK’s older homeowners may find that the value of their property has increased at a far greater rate than their pension incomes.

By owning your own home, the long-term rise means you have been investing in an asset that is capable of significantly boosting your later life finances.

If you already have an existing mortgage switching to a lifetime mortgage could allow you to be free of monthly mortgage payments.

Seven facts that you may not know about a lifetime mortgages 1. You can take as little as £10,000 and leave the remaining funds in an interest free reserve until you choose to access them.

2. With some lenders there are no required monthly payments allowing you to roll up the interest over the course of the loan

4. The interest rate is fixed for life, so you can see how much will be owed in future years. Rates currently start as low as 3.52% 5. You can choose to ring fence a percentage of your equity guaranteeing a future inheritance.

6. You continue to own your home like any high-street mortgage. Its just a different type of mortgage that is not time sensitive.

7. If you want to move to another property, you can take your lifetime mortgage with you (subject to lender’s criteria).

For more information visit www.release-my-equity.co.uk

3. There are also some lifetime mortgages that allow you to pay up to 15% of the initial amount borrowed every year without penalty.

LINK-MAG Gardening

Match your Garden’s colours to your personality

By Hannah Stephenson

H

ave you ever thought about what your favourite garden colours say about your personality?

Some 80% of people admit their moods are positively affected when surrounded by colourful plants. Yet more than a fifth wished they could be braver and have the confidence to experiment with colour. Most people think colour is important in the garden, yet 76% of people don’t think about the way in which colours can work together or about the colours they are planting, research found.

Find out which personality you are: Romantic: You love life and see the good in everything. Swaying towards pinks and pastels, creams and ivories. Your palette might include the shrub Fuchsia ‘Tom Thumb’, which flowers throughout the summer in a sunny border and looks good surrounded by pink roses or poet’s jasmine (Jasmine officinale). Other choices for the romantic could include Magnolia grandiflora ‘Exmouth’, an impressive cream-flowered shrub, underplanted with bluebells.

Vivacious: You are confident and bubbly. You like bold colours including azure, tangerine, coral and cobalt blue. Suitable plantings would be French marigold (Tagetes ‘Safari Tangerine’) with zebra grass or plantain lily, and Grace Ward (Lithodora diffusa), an evergreen which produces masses of bright blue flowers in summer and is perfect cascading over walls, planted near Anemone hupehensis ‘September Charm’, which produces soft pink flowers in late summer, and sea holly with its blue hues.

36

Mysterious: You lean towards deep reds and aubergines, metallics and splashes of vibrant purple. Good plantings for you might include the rich blue perennial Delphinium ‘Blue Nile’ with the lantern tree (Crinodendron hookerianum), an evergreen shrub which has dark, glossy green leaves and red flowers hanging from its branches. The blues of viola and larkspur would also suit your colour palette, along with the silver-grey foliage of mugwort (Artemisia ‘Powys Castle’) and the reddish purple hues of the smoke bush (Cotinus ‘Grace’).

Sultry: Your favourite colour is black but you also like subtle, soft shades of charcoal and stony taupes. There will be statement colours such as red to add pizzazz to your planting schemes. Good choices for you include lilyturf (Ophiopogon planiscapus ‘Nigrescens’), known for its grass-like black leaves in the summer, lilac flowers and black fruits, providing stunning colour contrast with the annual Scotch marigold (calendula), with its dark orange, daisylike flowers, which needs full sun to be at its best. A Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) such as ‘Bloodgood’ may also feature in the sultry personality’s garden scheme, with its deep red leaves which turn a brilliant red in the autumn. Don’t plant it in direct sunlight as the leaves burn easily.

------------------------------------------------Best of the bunch Buddleia

Walk down any street in late summer and you are likely to see a buddleia, or butterfly bush as it is known because it attracts butterflies, with its cone-shaped flowers in shades of purple, magenta and white.

LINK-MAG Gardening All too often this shrub looks gaunt and twiggy, with flowers appearing at the top of tall, bare branches. This may be because of insufficient pruning, but in fact buddleias are really easy to grow in any reasonable garden soil which is well drained.

The most popular variety, B. davidii, grows to 2.4m (8ft) or more and looks good at the back of a border, while for those with smaller gardens, Thompson & Morgan has brought out the dwarf B. Buzz, billed as the world’s first patio variety, which will sit in a large pot and produce the same attractive blooms through to September.

Personally, though, I prefer the larger types in vivid colours including ‘Black Knight’, which has dark purple blooms and ‘Royal Red’, with its purple-red blooms. Hard prune the shrubs in March, cutting back last year’s growth to within 2in of the old wood.

Things to do this month • Layer honeysuckle, wisteria and passion

flower by bending the shoots down to the ground, slitting the stem, dusting with rooting powder and burying the stem in the soil, securing it with a large stone.

• Propagate tender perennials from

cuttings, including argyranthemums, osteospermum, fuchsia, pelargonium and felicia.

• Apply mulches of compost over the soil to suppress weeds and retain moisture.

• Keep an eye out for rose suckers and

remove them from below ground level.

Good enough to eat... preserving herbs If you want to save some of your summer herbs to use in the winter months, you can do this by either freezing or drying them.

Parsley doesn’t dry well so you’re better off chopping it up finely and placing it in ice-cube trays with a dessert spoonful of water per cube.

Bunches of woody herbs such as rosemary, which goes so well with roast lamb, can be hung up in small bunches to dry in a cool place out of sunlight. When they are dry, rub the needs off the stems and store them in dry jars.

Sage leaves can also be picked in summer, dipped in boiling water and again in cold to keep the colour, then placed on baking sheets to dry in the airing cupboard, before storing in screw top jars.

Save coriander seeds by spreading them to dry on a shallow tray before storing in a glass jar in a cool dark place.

• Tie in long shoots of new growth of wisteria to continue its framework.

• Support new growth of dahlias by tying them in to existing stakes.

• Check plants for clematis wilt. Cut back

the wilted shoots to healthy tissue. This may mean pruning below the soil surface.

• Pick courgettes before they become marrows.

• Pick your bean and pea pods as they

mature, to stop them becoming tough and stringy later in the summer.

• Raise biennials and perennials by sowing now, in pots or in a nursery bed, for planting out in the autumn.

• Pinch out the tips of trailing plants in

hanging baskets to make them bush out.

Cyclists raise funds for Trinity

A

group of cyclists have helped to raise £10,000 for Trinity Hospice by taking part in a sponsored bike ride from Manchester to Blackpool.

On Sun 8th July nearly 40 riders supporting the Bispham based hospice completed the 60 mile cycle on Sunday in extremely hot and humid conditions, with the first Trinity rider back after just three hours and 50 minutes.

Among the cyclists was Trinity’s HR Manager David Warburton who is training for the charity’s London to Paris Bike Ride which sets off in September.

David said ‘It was a tough ride in such heat, but the atmosphere was amazing and really kept you going. It was wonderful to see so many people taking part just for Trinity, knowing how much of a 40

difference they were making for our patients and their loved ones.

There is still a long way to go in my training before the cycle from London to Paris later in the year, but if Sunday is anything to go by it’s going to be a very challenging but fulfilling experience.’

Cyclists taking part at the weekend raised sponsorship which will go towards providing Trinity care at the hospice, the hospital and in the community.

Trinity’s Events Assistant Antonia Hawkins said ‘We know this year was a tough ride for our cyclists in such warm conditions.

F

estival on the Sea is a new event taking place on North Pier, Blackpool on the 23rd September and is part of the Blackpool Music Run event.

The Family event will have music and entertainment for everybody, with a headline set by Hoosiers, supported

by Union J who are currently back in charts. Children aged 14 and under will get free entry to the Festival when accompanied by a paying adult. Adults tickets are currently available at ÂŁ15 for a limited time only.

The event on North Pier takes place between 13:00 and 18:00. Performing alongside Hoosiers and Union J at the festival will be Acadian Driftwood, Blackpool Favourites - Ska Face, Showhawk Duo, Sonic Boom Six, Panto star - Steve Royle and Tongue of Fire.

The festival is also a celebration for all participants of the inaugural Blackpool Music Run, which is a 10k event along Blackpool Promenade starting from 11am, with the roads closed to traffic. Along the route there will be stages set up with local and upcoming acts playing throughout the run. Local bands, such as The Sound, Nana White Pepper, Touch the Pearl, Oceans Over Alderaan as well as solo acts like Ellie Dibben, Sal Pepper and many more.

Blackpool Music Run and Festival on the Sea are both

pleased to support local charity Streetlife, who aid young adults in Blackpool who are struggling.

Nicola Thorp, who plays Nicola Rubinstein on Coronation Street is also taking part in the event as an ambassador for Streetlife. As the nominated charity, Streetlife will have buckets along the route and around all of the stages to help collect funds for them. If you really want to help why not consider getting sponsored to do the Music Run and choose Streetlife as your charity. Of course there are people running for other charities as well, which may be close to their hearts as well as others who are just running for fun.

Entry to Blackpool Music Run, which takes place before Festival on the Sea, is ÂŁ22 and includes entry to the Festival. Tickets for all options and more information can be found at www. blackpoolmusicrun.co.uk

George’s Marvellous Park

I

mprovements begin at King George’s playing field as the first phase of improvements began at the end of June.

The work is being funded using monies received by Wyre Council via a Section 106 agreement from an adjacent housing development and a grant of £30,000 from the Lancashire Environmental Fund, received earlier this year.

Work started on Monday 25th June and it is anticipated that construction of this first phase will be completed by late summer. This phase of work will include construction of the first section of the trail alongside Royles Brook, which includes areas for play and gym equipment, seating and planting. The path will run from the footbridge and connect the paths off Fleetwood Road North.

The playing field forms a vast area of public open space at the heart of Thornton. Last year those who use the site and live locally were invited to share their ideas on how the area could be improved. Wyre Council then created proposals based on feedback that would allow more people in the local community to make greater use of the playing field.

Dedicated to the memory of King George V, the playing fields were first formed in the 1930s before being

further developed under the design direction of the famous Thomas Mawson practice in the 1960s.

Councillor Simon Bridge, Portfolio Holder for Street Scene, Parks and Open Spaces at Wyre Council comments, ‘It’s great to see the work beginning and you can already see how the trail is going to look. It’s really going to enhance what is already here at the playing fields.’

Jenifer Phillips, Chair of the Thornton Action Group also comments, ‘Green open spaces like these playing fields are so important and provide the opportunity for improved mental and physical wellbeing for adults and children. It’s very exciting to watch this phase of improvements begin! It’s nice to see people walking around the playing fields, having a look at the developments and realising that things are starting to happen.’

Wyre Council is now busy working on funding bids for further drainage work, improvement of the brook and to extend the trail.
