About Impeccable Care Funerals Our team at Impeccable Care Funeral Services have a shared vision and passion for the families we care for. Our core values of commitment, dignity and a desire to carry out your specific wishes until the very end of your journey with us are what we pride ourselves on.

We believe that the quality of care you receive, should not stop at the end of your life and it is very important for families to do their research to find the right funeral director to suit there needs.

Our large beautiful, modern, light and airy premises are for families to use as a space of comfort, to take time out, visit their loved ones or hold a private service away from the time constraints of a modern crematorium service.

Final personal touches We are able to advise you on an officiant to lead the service for you on the day. We will always try to find one that is the right ‘fit’ for your family, so that you will feel comfortable and know that you’re wishes are being heard.

Flowers are a very traditional expression of sympathy, and we can help you to choose something that’s personal to you.

Music can be both uplifting and emotional and often accentuates the important parts of saying goodbye.

TO ADVERTISE CALL 01278 238000 There are limitless choices to be made to make this a very personal tribute. You may decide to have the theme tune from ‘Match of the day’ in respect of a huge football fan or even the sound of the ‘Flying Scotsman’ pulling away.

Aftercare Many families are unsure what to do with the ashes of their loved one after the cremation has taken place. There are so many options, now more than ever. You may wish to have them interred in a permanent place of remembrance, place them in a beautiful urn to keep at home or within a stone monument in your garden, however, there are options now to have them scattered by drone, taken into space or sent up in a firework, who knew! We can help you organise any of these choices. One thing we have found is helpful to families is to wear a piece of jewellery to keep their loved one close.

We make the jewellery for you in the funeral home with a huge choice of designs and colours to suit everybody and for us, this is our favourite thing to do for our families as it becomes even more of a personal service.

We will always listen to your thoughts and help with any ideas you have, but more than that, the kettle is always on, and a friendly face will always make time to sit with you. Impeccable Care Funeral Services are here for you when you need us. Call 01278 448973.

Self Storage for Business Users Self storage units have many uses, and aside from moving house, the most popular use is for business storage.

Small business owners, self employed tradespeople and entrepreneurs often find they need more space to store paperwork, tools, materials and equipment. You won’t need many of your tools on every job, and you certainly wont want to carry them around in your van every day, so a storage unit is a handy place to keep them. You can visit on the way to each job, or at the end of each day to unload as you won’t want to risk leaving it in your van overnight. By keeping your valuable items in a secure storage unit, there is less risk of equipment being stolen should thieves target your van.

Peace of mind is priceless, and there’ll be no need for one of those ‘no tools stored in this van’ sticker. You’ll want to ensure your items are dry, safe, secure and you’ll need 24 hour monitored CCTV so your stock , equipment and tools are watched 24 hours a day.

Operations Manager Kerry Llewellyn tells us “At Big Bull Self Storage we fully understand that self storage isn’t just a short term solution for house movers, but is also a secure long term solution for business needs. Our customers love how secure their stock and tools are, and with the choice of seven unit sizes available, they can get something perfect for their needs. You can use the online calculator to help work out how much space you’ll need and change your unit size at any time if your circumstances change, as we are fully flexible. Short term leases are available from just one month and no business rates to pay. With 24 hour PIN code access to the drive up units, you can come and go as you please and park right outside your unit for easy loading and unloading.”

Garden View This month – Wonderful Wisteria Wisteria, with its enchanting cascades of fragrant flowers, adds a touch of elegance and charm to any garden.

It has a reputation for being slow and difficult, but it’s really not justified.

You just need a bit of know-how.

Select a sunny spot with well-drained soil to plant your wisteria. The ideal time to plant is during early spring or autumn when the plant is dormant.

Ensure the planting hole is deep and wide enough to accommodate the root ball and add organic matter to enrich the soil. Provide a sturdy support structure, such as a trellis or pergola, for the wisteria to climb.

During August, after the flowering period, prune to control the size and shape of the plant. Trim long shoots, maintaining a balanced framework while retaining a few leaves on each pruned stem.

During winter/early spring, remove any dead, damaged, or weak branches. Trim back the previous year’s growth to around three to five buds from the main stem. This encourages the

formation of flower buds and prevents excessive growth.

Wisteria generally requires moderate watering, especially during dry spells. Water deeply at the base of the plant, providing enough moisture to reach the root system. However, be careful not to overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot.

To promote optimal growth and flowering, fertilize your wisteria annually in early spring. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Wisteria is a vigorous climber, so proper training is essential for creating a visually appealing display.

Gently tie and train young shoots to your chosen support structure, guiding them horizontally to encourage the development of flowering spurs along the stems.

If you’re starting from scratch it may take several years before your wisteria starts blooming profusely. Be patient and provide consistent care, and you will be rewarded with a stunning display of flowers in due course. Gardening is often the long-term rewards.

Happy gardening.

Are you buying the WRONG incontinence product?

1. The right product for the right flow: Most people think “the more it absorbs the better” - but that’s not always the case! We can chat through all the different options with you.

It might seem like an odd question, but the vast majority of people we speak with are contacting Arelle because they are struggling to manage their incontinence – and that is usually the result of choosing the wrong incontinence product for their condition.

Anecdotal reports suggest that as many as 80% of adults experiencing incontinence are using the wrong products – and many people will try seven or more different products until they find one that works.

That’s not really a surprise to us – there are now so many products available to you, both online and on the high street, that the choice can be quite bewildering. And while it may be simpler and more convenient to pick up your products in your local supermarket, your choice is likely to be far more limited than with specialist retailers, and we are pretty sure that there will be no supermarket staff with the expert knowledge or experience to advise you on what your options are.

So what can you do to choose the RIGHT incontinence product?

2. Decide on the type of product which will suit you best: Pads or pants? You can try free samples when you contact us.

3. Washable v disposable: Washables are more environmentally friendly and ultimately will save you money.

4. Quality v economy: In all aspects, cheaper pads will not perform as well as quality products.

5. Fit and features: Consider using fixation or stretch pants to improve the performance of your product.

Advice: If you need advice about choosing the right incontinence product, please do get in touch.

It’s nothing to be embarrassed or concerned about – we would much rather you chat to us about purchasing the right product rather than you waste money and energy on buying something that simply isn’t right for you. Call us on 0800 389 3597 or email info@arelle.com

Are you still running Windows 10?

Time to upgrade!

Windows 10 is becoming plagued with problems due to its age, and the upgrade to Windows 11 has become an urgent matter.

Windows 10 has been a reliable platform in the past, but with advances in technology and threats alike, the aged system now suffers from frequent bugs and increased exposure to potential risks, including infections. Those running Windows 10 should upgrade now to avoid these risks and ensure an overall safer, more productive, and up to date computing experience.

Moreover, with the plug soon pulled on Windows 10 updates, machines are guaranteed to be left wide open to new vulnerabilities - so the time to upgrade is not later, but now. Due to the mounting issues around the outdated system, we consider Windows 10 to be an end-of-life product which should be avoided and urge people to no longer put off getting up to date.

Some ask, “Will it still feel like my computer?” - “I don’t want things to change”. These are common reasons for hesitation, but fear not – Windows 11 is near identical to Windows 10 in its usage, while however bringing its countless performance and security improvements in the background.

What are the costs involved? The good news is that the upgrade to Windows 11 is a free upgrade when hardware requirements are met. If the computer hardware is not capable of running Windows 11, some form of hardware upgrade is usually the way forward.

We appreciate that moving to Windows 11 can be daunting, so if you know that you need to upgrade but aren’t sure how to proceed, please get in touch as we specialise in moving computers onto Windows 11 with the least amount of fuss and can provide training and support to keep you on track.

Courgette Frittata

Serves: 8 Preparation time: 15 mins Cooking time: 25 mins Ingredients: 2 courgettes, sliced.

1 red onion, diced.

1 garlic clove, finely chopped.

6 medium or large eggs 3 ripe tomatoes 1tbsp olive oil salt and black pepper to season 50g crumbled feta (or your favourite cheese) Method: Preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C Gas mark 4.

F’ OLOFCAL

%E 10QUOT

Heat the olive oil in an ovenproof pan if you have one or an ordinary frying pan if not, over medium heat, and add the onion, garlic, and courgettes.

Sauté for 4-5 minutes until lightly brown.

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.

In a separate bowl beat the eggs and season well with salt and pepper. This dish does benefit from being well seasoned.

If your pan is ovenproof pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables then crumble the cheese over the top. If you don’t have a pan that can be placed directly in the oven, transfer the veg to a casserole dish then pour the eggs and crumbled cheese over.

Bake for about 25 minutes until the frittata is set in the middle and slightly golden on top. Take care not to overcook it, or it will become rubbery in texture. It should look puffy, golden, and have a slight wobble when you move the pan.

Let it cool for 5 minutes then slice into 8 pieces. The cooled frittata will keep in an airtight container for a couple of days. Eat it cold or reheat in the microwave on a low setting for 30 seconds.

Note: This is a very adaptable recipe. You can use any cooked vegetables and cheese combination.

Summer Skills to Get Kids Outside Summer is the perfect time to encourage kids to step away from their screens and engage in outdoor activities that are both fun and educational. Here are some of our favourites.

Juggling - This is a fantastic skill that promotes hand-eye coordination, concentration, and perseverance. Start with basic juggling techniques using soft balls or beanbags. As they progress, they can try juggling with more objects or learn tricks. Juggling a great physical activity, which boosts cognitive skills and focus.

Skipping - A classic outdoor activity that provides an excellent cardiovascular workout while improving coordination and balance. Start with basic jumps and gradually progress to more complex techniques like crisscross, doubleunders, or even group skipping routines. Skipping can also be done with friends, making it a social activity.

Flower Pressing – Pressing flowers is a wonderful way for kids to engage with nature and their

creativity. Encourage them to explore their surroundings, identify different flowers and plants, and collect specimens for pressing. Pressed flowers can be used for various crafts such as making greeting cards, or artwork.

Roller-skating - This is a fun and active outdoor activity that challenges balance and coordination and develops leg strength. Kids can learn to roller skate in a safe environment like a local skate park or a designated skating area. Once they get the hang of it, they can branch out to skills like skating backward, executing turns, or even trying some simple tricks. Roller skating provides an exciting way to stay active while enjoying the summer weather.

Identifying Insects - Encourage your mini entomologist by teaching kids how to identify common insects. Provide them with a guidebook or use online resources to help them recognize different species. Kids can go on nature walks or explore their gardens to spot insects, learn about their habitats, and observe their behaviours.

This activity is great for promoting curiosity, environmental awareness, and an understanding of the vital role insects play in our ecosystem.

Three Top Summer Kitchen Tips from Graeme Robertson, OvenGleamers 1. Tear basil rather than cutting it?

Chefs often say that you must tear basil, rather than cut it with a knife, to get the best flavour.

Nope. The flavours in basil are primarily contained within the cells of the leaf. If you tear it, it tends to come apart between the cells but if you cut the leaf, you will break open the cells releasing the flavour. This makes the most difference when you are using the basil raw, eg, in a tomato salad.

Best to wash the basil, pat dry with paper towels, and remove the leaves from the stem. Stack several leaves together and roll into a cylinder, then cut crossways into thin strips.

2. Should I use foil on the base of my oven?

Many people line their grill pan or the bottom of the oven with aluminum foil to keep their cookers cleaner. This becomes heavily coated in grease and smells revolting! But it actually damages the enamel in the grill pan and on the base of the oven. The foil creates a superheating effect by reflecting the heat back onto the base of the oven or grill pan which then causes enamel damage. I recommend using an oven liner made from PTFE with a non-stick coating. This will catch any food drips keeping the bottom of the oven/grill pan clean. Remember to take the oven liner out regularly and wash it in warm soapy water.

3. “Hot pan - cold oil - prevents sticking” Is this mantra really the best way to prevent food from sticking to the pan when sautéing or stirfrying. The idea is that you heat up the pan first then add the cold oil and almost immediately add the food and that will stop it sticking. What you really want is a “hot pan, hot oil”. When you add cold oil, it heats up almost instantly when added to the hot pan – giving you “hot pan, hot oil”.

You get the same results if you heat the oil along with the pan so take your pick – they both work!
