FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome… Welcome to the June edition of LocalReach, this year is going by far too quickly with the longest day fast approaching – where has the year gone? I am pleased to say that with the governments road map easing as of June (correct at time of printing) many local groups and organisations are preparing to re-open. There is a need for volunteers to help with this process and now may be the time to seize the opportunity, whether interested in history, art or physical well-being there is something inside this months edition. Many people have suffered as a result of social isolation and maybe lack confidence – I hope you can find the strength to reach out and contact one of the groups operating in our local area, many of whom I have had contact with for many years and would welcome you with open arms. I hope there is something in this month’s edition to lift your spirts, personally I am a year in to my foundation degree in History, Heritage and Archaeology and feel all the better for returning to study. Please keep sending your information to us.

Your June Garden The first of the summer months is here, including the longest day of the year. While we all hope for summer sunshine and opportunities to stop and enjoy the garden, there are plenty of enjoyable activities to be getting on with — particularly the care and maintenance of your plants. Grow Your Own The vegetable garden becomes increasingly exciting this month, with plenty to sow along with plants to harvest. Your salad crops may now be ready for your dinner plate, along with the first of the potatoes. When potatoes come into flower, this is the signal that they are ready for harvesting. This month you may also be lucky enough to be eating your own kale, peas, radishes, spinach, carrots, broad beans, early courgettes, herbs, rhubarb and strawberries!
Hillier tip: These climbers will need support to grow up and a wigwam is a simple and attractive solution. Simply place three to four bamboo canes into the ground and tie them together at the top. Sow the seeds around each cane at the base – you will only need a single seed at
the base of each cane for climbing runner and French beans. Continue to sow beetroot, carrots, French beans, mangetout, peas, radishes and salad crops.
Hillier tip: If your garden lacks space for a separate vegetable patch, plant lettuces in borders along with herbaceous plants, which have the added benefit of continuity of interest. This is the month to stay on top of your weeding, watering and feeding routine. Plants to Prune Deadhead bedding plants to encourage prolonged flowering and continued todeadhead finished spring bulbs.
Hillier tip: When deadheading spring bulbs, like tulips, leave the foliage in place as this will feed the bulbs for the next year You can also deadhead tired-looking perennials, like geraniums and delphiniums, to encourage a second flush of flowers – having been a cold early spring, everything may be flowering and need deadheading a little later than usual.

GARDENING
Gardening Jobs For June • Hoe, hoe and more hoe weeds! Always keep an eye out for pests and diseases • Hopefully the late frosts will be gone now so all tender flowers and vegetables can be planted outside. Water plants well when planting out. • Lift spring bulbs when the leaves are yellow and leave the bulbs in a dry place • Clip hedges, deadhead repeat flowering roses and prune early flowering clematis and shrubs which have finished flowering. • Pinch out the tops of broad beans when the flowers are set to deter the dreaded blackfly. If left blackfly will decimate your crop and may spread to other crops spoiling them as well. • Keep picking peas , broad beans and other crops when they are young and fresh. • Protect strawberries from birds, watch out for slugs and pick the fruit regularly. • Keep sowing small amounts of lettuce, radish, carrots, beetroot and spinach.
• After the “June Drop” of apples, pears and plums, when trees drop excess fruit, assess whether the remaining fruit needs thinning. • You can make a start sowing biennial flowers like wallflowers in a prepared seedbed. • Mow lawns regularly. • Ventilate greenhouses and polytunnels daily during hot periods.

This has included developing the communal areas including the garden lounge, TV lounge and replacing the small sun room with a substantial conservatory complete with air conditioning. The garden has had raised beds added for the residents to tend to flowers, fruit and vegetables. A large pergola has made the lawn a more usable space in the height of the summer, under it the tables and chairs make it a favourite spot for residents to enjoy a cream tea and summer entertainment. At the end of last summer a new heated visiting cabin was installed which adheres to covid safe visiting rules for friends and family to visit all year around. Over the course of the last year with the global pandemic it has been a hard time for the care sector in general. Tom and Debra are incredibly proud of how the whole team have navigated this difficult time. The standard of care reminded outstanding throughout.

Do You Want Ketchup on That? The history of the nation’s favourite sauce. The 1700s were a golden age for ketchup. There were recipes made from oysters, mussels, mushrooms, walnuts, lemons, celery, and plums. Usually, the ingredients were either boiled down into a syrup-like consistency or left to sit with salt for extended periods of time. This resulted in a highly concentrated end product: a salty, spicy condiment that became extremely popular.
Ketchup is found in 97 percent homes but there’s more to it than burgers or hotdogs. In fact, ketchup dates back to imperial China. It was originally made with fermented fish entrails, meat by-products and soybeans...yum! This fish sauce was easy to store on long ocean voyages. The tomato-based ketchup we love today wasn’t invented until 1812. Tomato plants were brought to England from South America in the 1500s, but amazingly their fruits weren’t eaten for centuries because some people thought they were poisonous.
In 1812, someone finally thought to use tomatoes in the recipe. James Mease, a Philadelphia scientist, is credited with developing the recipe. Initially preservation of tomato ketchup was an issue because the fruits decomposed quickly. A relatively new company called Heinz developed a formulation which included, brown sugar, salt, spices, and distilled vinegar. They also pioneered the use of glass bottles, so customers could see what they were buying. Today, Heinz is the best-selling brand of ketchup the UK. 650 million bottles and 11 BILLION sachets are sold around the world each year. Something to consider next time you order a hotdog!

TO ADVERTISE CALL 01278 238000 down. If you hate cardio work at the gym maybe it’s because you hate being mentally present during torturous forms of exercise, counting the minutes till it’s over. One of the best things about Street Dance is that time flies when you’re in the zone performing the choreography. With continuous practise and training you’ll eventually see a spike in your stamina. It’s versatile - Do it alone, or dance as part of a crew. Either way, mastering a dance routine is rewarding. You can transfer your new skills to the nightclub or wedding dancefloor. And the next time you hear that same tune on the radio you’ll want to turn up the volume and dance. It encourages self-expression - There are a lot of styles within the genre of Street Dance, from popping and locking to breakdance and house dance, so there’s a lot of room for self-expression, and attitude. It’s a full head-to-toe work out - You’ll strengthen your hands, feet, and joints. You’ll develop flexibility and strength. There are lots more good beginner classes around now.

Not sure whether to invest in a wooden or metal fence for your garden? ColourFence Taunton explains why metal fencing is better for your garden and how you find a fence that’s storm-proof, low-maintenance and guaranteed for 25 years. Q: How do I choose the right fence for my garden? Wooden fence panels need repairing, painting or staining annually to fix rot, update its look and prevent collapse during harsh weather. ColourFence is a metal garden fence solution that once fitted requires no treatments or repairs. They’re guaranteed not to warp, rot, crack, shrink or peel for the next 25 years. You will never need to repaint, stain or repair your fence again. ColourFence panels withstand gusts of wind up to 130mph, ensuring after a night of heavy rain and storms, your fence will still be standing the next morning. An occasional hose-down with water will keep your fence looking as good as new Q. How can I choose the correct size fence for my garden? ColourFence panels are from 1m up to 2.1m tall. Our panels are eight feet wide and include the intermediate posts, unlike standard wooden panels. Whatever the shape of your garden we can step, rake or cut your ColourFence to size, allowing your boundary to follow the natural contours of your land. Q: Can I change the look of my metal fence? There’s a choice of colours available, green, brown, cream and blue – to harmonise and enhance your garden’s design. Choose a trellis in the same shade or contrasting colour. Both sides of the panels are the same colour meaning both you and your neighbour have a stunning fence to look at year after year, helping you build good neighbourly relations. The panels are made from Colorbond high tensile steel with a layer of Zincalume that doesn’t rust and if scratched the layer forms a waterproof barrier. Q. How do I know my garden will be secure? Unlike traditional timber panels, ColourFence panels have no footholds and a smooth finish. You can relax knowing your new fence will deter intruders and help maintain privacy. For added security install a metal garden gate with a simple drop bolt or key operated deadlock. You can trust our trained fitters to securely and efficiently install your fence.

Priory Court Care Home and nursery come together with innovative inter-generational project 6th May 2021; Residents at Priory Court Care & Nursing Home in Burnham-On-Sea have continued to a enjoy a cross-generational project with a local pre-school throughout the pandemic. Footprints Nursery in BurnhamOn-Sea launched their community project ‘Across the Generations’ just before lockdown. The children from the day nursery visited Priory Court Care & Nursing Home to meet the residents and enjoy refreshments and story time together. However, once the lockdown was announced the face-to-face meetings had to stop. However, the pandemic hasn’t stopped the children and their newfound friends continuing to develop their relationship. Staff were able to set up regular remote sessions where children and residents have enjoyed joint activities, all be it on a screen. Together they have enjoyed virtual pizza making, crafts and painting folk art. The innovative project even featured on BBC Points West recently. Vimal Samuel Home Manager at Priory Court Care & Nursing Home said “When people first move into a care home it can be difficult to get them to engage in activities and socialise with other residents. We’ve found that the children engage so easily and very effectively with people. This project has helped our residents to benefit from the activities we offer here at Priory Court.” “Due to the visiting restrictions at care homes many of our residents haven’t seen any youngsters for so long” Said Rachel Latimer Wellbeing Coordinator at Priory Court “Our online sessions with the children at Footprints have been very popular with the residents, they look forward to the sessions and love to see the children.” Jodie Cocking Nursery Practitioner at Footprints Nursery added “We’ve seen children come out of themselves, it’s been a fantastic project. We can’t wait to meet up again face to face”. Intergenerational care projects have been shown to decrease loneliness, delay mental decline and lower blood pressure. There is growing evidence to show that both the elderly and the children benefit from bringing older and younger generations together.

Summer Wine Which tipple to choose for summer
The summer months require a different approach to wine. We’re more likely to want something refreshing, or to mix it with soda water for a spritzer. Also, even staunch red wine-lovers often drift towards a white or a rose as the temperatures rise. Look for a dry white with high acidity, a light to medium body. If you favour sweetness try to make sure it also has high acidity. Look for fruity notes, particularly apple and citrus, and stay away from full-bodied chardonnays. Try Riesling, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc. A more unusual option is Albariño, a beautiful refreshing Spanish wine. Rosés are fresh-tasting because they are meant to be drunk young. They tend to be fruity and vary from sweeter to dry. Either work nicely for a summer day, and sparkling rosés are particularly pretty and festive for summer celebrations. Try Grenache rosé served cold for a perfect crisp blend of tannins and acidity. Sangiovese rosé is slightly sweeter and fruiter and perfect for warm summer evenings. Some folks just love their reds even in summer. However, avoid heavy, full-bodied varieties unless you want to feel sleepy and dehydrated. Look for lighter reds that are best served chilled, with low tannin and high acidity. Cinsault is probably my favourite summer red on account of its fruitiness. It’s nicely high in acidity too. Frappato is also a good summer choice with low tannins and a fresh taste. Lambrusco can be sneered at in some circles but it’s actually the perfect bubbly sweeter red for summer. Cheers.

Are your business or home computers checked routinely by an IT professional? If you are a small business owner, or store important data on your home devices, it is important to ensure your computers are regularly serviced. So, what is a computer service? This is a thorough process whereby the overall health of a computer is checked from top to bottom. This also involves ensuring the appropriate contingency measures are in-place and running as intended. This maintenance is best performed on a routine basis, much like an M.O.T, because computers are complex, everupdating devices which require a health check at least once per year. When a computer stops working, there is always a reason behind it, and in most instances, the problem could have been mitigated beforehand. For example, hard disks show signs of oncoming failure. IT technicians can identify this risk and mitigate it by fitting a replacement disk, therefore preventing data loss. The same principle applies for computer security – weaknesses in network security can be spotted and patched up in order to prevent potential virus attacks and data theft. In the past, we have been called out to a business that never sought out professional IT support, and they ended up losing large amounts of data which could not be retrieved. We urge others not to make the same mistake. Suspect your home or small business equipment could benefit from a service? Please see our advert on this page to arrange a visit.

The top five things you never wanted to know about BBQing Number One: Is it BBQ or Barbecue? Barbecue derives from the word barabicu found in the language of the Taíno people of the Caribbean and the Timucua of Florida, and entered European languages in the form barbacoa. The word translates as “sacred fire pit.” The word describes a grill for cooking meat, consisting of a wooden platform resting on sticks. Traditional barbacoa involves digging a hole in the ground and placing some meat (usually a whole goat) with a pot underneath it, so that the juices can make a hearty broth. It is then covered with maguey leaves and coal and set alight. The cooking process takes a few hours. Number Two: The first commercially produced barbecue sauce was made by the Georgia Barbecue Sauce Company in Atlanta, Georgia. Its sauce was advertised for sale in the Atlanta Constitution, January 31, 1909. Heinz released its barbecue sauce in 1940. It now comes in three varieties: Classic, Sweet and Sweet & Spicy. Number Three: Each year Environmental Health officers see a characteristic rise in the number of food poisoning cases through the summer period. When investigated, there is often one common factor - the barbecue! Number Four: SAFETY TIP: In recent years there have been a number of fatalities and injuries as a result of people bringing BBQs into enclosed spaces and being overcome by carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a highly poisonous substance which is created when fossil fuels such as gas and solid fuels like charcoal and wood fail to combust fully due to a lack of oxygen. You can’t see it, taste it or smell it but it can kill quickly with no warning. Number Five: In a recent survey of our clients 98% of them had never cleaned their BBQ! But don’t worry your BBQ can be restored to its clean, non-grease laden state in 2 – 2 ½ hours without you having to lift a finger – well not true – you have to pick up the ‘phone and call Graeme Robertson at OvenGleamers on 01278 497541.

Good Neighbours The Good Neighbours Group was formed as part of the local churches work on Partnership for Missional Church. We sought to explore ways of fulfilling our mission in the community. After a year of data analysis and talking to people using questionnaires, we decided we wanted to reach out to those who are lonely and isolated in our communities. We also wanted to work with others in the community who were already working hard to support people. This has been especially true over the last year. It has been a difficult time for everyone over the last year. We can now start to work together to support those who have become more isolated and alone. If you would like to help, please contact lesleymillard3@gmail.com or telephone 01278 327397. We are now looking for people who would be willing to bake cakes/biscuits and help on the day.
