Beware of the ads at the top of search results We have seen a marked increase in people searching for a genuine company’s website via a search engine only to click on an advert made to look like this company, but is in fact a third party trying to piggy back onto what could be a free service in order to add on a fee.

A typical example of this is when people are trying to apply for a travel visa which is free, but the third party takes all the information and then charges a processing fee on top. Other adverts can be more similar, as scammers are paying to be at the top of search results, only to try and extract personal data. If you are asked to fill in a form, be very careful who you are giving the information to. Are they asking for too much information that you would not expect, or does something not feel right? If so, I would check with a friend or family member before proceeding.

Another thing to watch out for are emails from somebody you know asking you to purchase gift vouchers - this will mean that their email has been hacked and the scammer is trying to catch out their contacts.

If you have been the subject of a scam or been hacked, and would like your equipment to be checked and advice given, please see our advert on this page. We can visit you at your home and make sure all your equipment is secure.

Garden View by the plant’s flowering time and the age of the flowering wood.

Group 1 clematis bloom early in the year, flowering on the previous year’s growth. These varieties, like the alpine clematis, produce flowers in late spring and are generally the least demanding in terms of pruning. Pruning, if necessary, should be done immediately after flowering. The goal is to remove dead or weak stems and to shape the plant, but heavy pruning is not needed. If left unpruned, these clematis can become a tangle of old wood with few flowers.

Clematis, often hailed as the “Queen of the Climbers”, is a beloved fixture in many UK gardens.

Its enchanting flowers, ranging from delicate, starshaped blossoms to bold, dramatic blooms, can transform fences, walls, and trellises into living art. But clematis, like many plants, needs pruning, and understanding the pruning requirements of your particular clematis will depend on its pruning group.

Clematis are categorized into three main pruning groups: 1, 2, and 3. These groups are determined

Group 2 clematis flower in late spring or early summer on short shoots developing from the previous year’s growth and often have a second, less vigorous flush in late summer on the current year’s growth. Examples include the popular varieties like ‘Nelly Moser’ and ‘Miss Bateman’.

Pruning for Group 2 should be light, focusing on removing dead and weak stems in late winter or early spring, so February is the perfect time. You can also lightly prune after the first flowering to encourage a more robust second bloom.

Group 3 clematis flower on the current year’s growth, producing blooms from mid to late summer until the first frost. This group includes varieties like ‘Jackmanii’ and ‘Sweet Autumn Clematis’. They require more extensive pruning, cut back almost to ground level (15-30 cm above the ground) in February. This encourages strong new growth and a profusion of flowers at a manageable height.

Why prune at all? It’s important because it rejuvenates the plant by encouraging new growth, which is essential for flowering, particularly in Group 2 and 3 clematis. It helps maintain the shape and size of the plant, preventing it from becoming unruly and tangled. Regular pruning also allows for better air circulation through the plant, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.

When pruning, always use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts. This prevents damage to the plant and reduces the risk of disease. After pruning, it’s beneficial to apply a balanced fertilizer and mulch to provide nutrients and maintain soil moisture.

With the right pruning techniques, your clematis will be a stunning feature in your garden, showcasing its floral beauty season after season.

Staying Independent and Safe in your Home Making sure your home fits your needs is vital, especially for seniors or those who might have trouble getting around. The ability to navigate safely within the house profoundly influences an individual’s dignity and overall well-being. If everyday tasks such as entering and exiting the house, using the bathroom, or preparing a meal become challenging, it’s crucial to consider making improvements.

Despite concerns about costs, financial assistance is available through a government backed Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG), which can provide up to £30,000 for home alterations. This grant aims to help individuals with qualifying conditions remain independent and safe. Whether it involves renovating a bathroom, making the kitchen more accessible, or converting a room into a wetroom or bedroom, the DFG offers valuable support. To apply, individuals can contact their local council or visit www.gov. uk/disabled-facilities-grants for more information. If eligible for a grant finding a trusted company to conduct the renovation is the next step. AHM Installations Ltd are accessible bathing specialists and have been creating bespoke bathrooms and wetrooms across the UK for over 24 years. They are offer ‘bath out shower in’ options, or they can create a full wetroom or install a walk-in bath. Sometimes a full renovation may not be required and simple adaptations such as installing grab rails, or a drop-down seat can significantly improve daily life.

AHM understands it can feel daunting and that customers may have concerns before undertaking home renovations, but their friendly team guides customers through every step. Home surveyors visit to comprehend the challenges and they will assess the available space and provide a customised, budgetfriendly solution. Founded in 1999, by Simon and Julie Symcox, the family-run company draws on their nursing and mobility industry backgrounds.

Can pelvic floor exercises help treat incontinence?

You might already be aware of pelvic floor exercises. Women are frequently recommended them after giving birth, and men after prostate surgery. But did you know they can really help with incontinence?

This is because they strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, which support your bladder.

When these muscles are stronger, you’re less likely to have leaks.

Pretend you’re trying to stop the flow of urine.

Pull in and squeeze those muscles. Hold the squeeze for 5 to 10 seconds, then rest for 5 to 10 seconds. Don’t hold your breath or tighten any other muscles - and keep breathing!

Try for three or four sets of 10 contractions every day. You can do them anytime, anywhere. When you’re watching tv, sitting at a desk, driving a car – no-one will ever notice!

While not all incontinence problems can be improved using pelvic floor exercises, it’s definitely worth considering. And if you need help with products for your incontinence, call Arelle free on 0800 389 3597.

What is the difference between a nursing home and a residential care home?

Seeking care for yourself or a loved one can feel like a daunting prospect, especially if you are not sure about the type of care that may be needed. It doesn’t help that terms such as ‘nursing home’ or ‘care home’ are often used interchangeably, even though they can mean very different things.

Our guide will help you to translate the terminology, and know how to ask for the care that you need.

What is nursing care? How is it different to residential care?

Both nursing care and residential care are provided to residents within a specialist care home.

Residential care is suited to individuals who need a little support with their daily routines and personal care (such as washing and dressing), or help with mealtimes and routine medication. All housework tasks, cooking and laundry will also be undertaken for you.

Nursing care is an enhanced level of residential care, which may be required to support individuals who are living with complex needs or long-term medical conditions. Specialist nursing care will be delivered by qualified nurses, who can offer 24/7 hospital-standard nursing care, within a more comfortable, and less clinical, nursing home environment.

A requirement for nursing care does not necessarily result from living with a particular condition, but is more about the amount of support that an individual needs in order to live well with that condition.

For example, an individual living with diabetes who is able to manage their condition with tablets which they can administer themselves, may only require residential care. However, an individual whose sugar levels are more unstable, and whose diabetes is managed with insulin injections which they cannot administer themselves, will require more support and may require nursing care.

How will I know if I need nursing care?

The level of care an individual requires is referred to as a ‘dependency level’. Your dependency level will be determined as part of the care assessment which is carried out before you move into residential or nursing care. This assessment will look at everything from the support you may need with personal care or eating, to your medication requirements, mobility and wellbeing.

Dependency levels can go up or down, meaning that an individual requirements might change from residential care to nursing care, or vice versa.

For instance, an individual who has recently had a hip replacement operation may initially need a very high level of support, but this could reduce as

their rehabilitation progresses and they become more mobile. Equally, an individual living with a degenerative condition may initially require residential care, but this requirement could increase to nursing care over time.

Should I choose a nursing home or a residential care home?

Whilst a residential care home will generally only offer residential care, the vast majority of nursing homes will offer both residential care and specialist nursing care.

If you expect your care needs to change over time, it is worth moving into a nursing home which offers both residential care and nursing care, so that you will not need to move to a different care home at a later date to ensure that your needs can be met.

Your nursing home will regularly review your support needs to ensure that you are receiving the right level of care for your safety and wellbeing.

How can I arrange nursing or residential care?

The first step is to discuss your requirements with a care provider which offers both residential and nursing care. They will be able to advise if they can meet your individual needs, and arrange a guided tour for you at your chosen nursing or care home.

Make the right choice for you Your wellbeing is just as important as your physical health, so make sure that your chosen nursing or residential care home enables you to receive the support you need in an environment where you can feel at home.

Colourfence are transforming gardens across Somerset!

The fence that repairs itself If you scratch or cut Colourfence, the ingenious zinc element in the Zincalume steel reacts with moisture to form a protective barrier to prevent any corrosion with no action needed from you.

It may do “exactly what it says on the tin” but let’s face it, treating a timber fence can never be called fun!

In fact, owning a timber fence isn’t much fun either with costly, time consuming maintenance and repairs almost every year.

Finally, the alternative to timber fencing…our fence goes up and stays up, resisting wind gusts of up to 130mph!

Colourfence fencing solutions are made from innovative Colorbond steel, virtually maintenance free with an occasional wash down with water to keep it looking as good as new - so you never need to pick up that paintbrush again!, Guaranteed not to rot, warp, chip or peel for 25 years.

Available in a variety of heights and colours with or without trellis, our skilled installation team will make short work of transforming your garden.

The best news is the pricing is just as attractive, starting costs are in line with comparable traditional systems but offer the ongoing peace of mind that your investment will continue to save time and money year after year.

For those of us who want a low maintenance garden, Colourfence promises a lifetime of hassle-free enjoyment.

STRONG, SECURE & BUILT TO LAST!
