Prepare for Windows 11 23H2 update and please heed our warnings about scammers By the time you read this, Microsoft should have released the new major update to Windows 11 which is known as 23H2. We would advise that you check your “Windows Update” section within the Settings cog on all Windows 11 computers to update to this. As usual there will be some new features, alongside a raft of security and reliability updates. New features include an AI based help tool called Co-pilot which promises to get answers to complex questions. Some computers due to age cannot take Windows 11 or even this latest update, so if this is the case for your computer, we would advise upgrading. We can help with this, so please see our advert on this page for contact details.

We often speak to customers about the risks of being scammed but the worrying fact is that even though people are aware, the scammers seem to be one step ahead. Our company is often called by worried customers who have been advised to have their computers checked after it has been remotely accessed by fraudsters (with the customer’s permission!) The scam can start by a phone call that pretends to be from a national company – they may know your name and other details, which when they quote, the guard is often let down. Other times, a seemingly genuine message pops up on the screen, usually after some social media interaction and tells the unnerved viewer that their computer or various accounts are going to imminently close down. The fact is that although many people are aware of scams, they seem to be unable to deal with these situations, so due to the frantic nature of the scam often allow remote access to their computers and unwittingly in to their bank accounts. We encourage people not to get into polite small talk with these people, but simply hang up the phone when it becomes apparent that these callers want to get onto your computer remotely. There is no justified reason that anyone other than your own trusted IT support would remote control your computer. Please get in touch if you feel that you need any help with this.

Another thing to remind you of is that should your device become faulty, it is possible that you could lose your precious documents, photos, music and so on, so we would strongly advise you to backup your files to either a local backup drive, or possibly some cloud system. We have seen a spate of older computers fail recently, without warning, and lots of important files were lost, so please don’t bury your head in the sand, but get yourself a backup solution. If you need any help with this, please get in touch.

GARDENING

Garden View This month – Trees: Heroes of nature

Trees have graced our planet for over 370 million years, offering a range of benefits that render them indispensable to life as we know it. National Tree Week (25th November-3rd December) celebrates the many reasons why trees are the champions of the natural world and why we should all plant a tree today.

Every school student learns that trees play a pivotal role in the process of carbon dioxide reduction.

Through photosynthesis they absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, a vital element for AN INDEPENDENT, FAMILY RUN BATHROOM SHOWROOM AND DESIGN STUDIO.

GREAT PRODUCTS, GREAT SERVICE, GREAT RELATIONSHIPS From product advice to a full bathroom re-design, we are delighted to help you with your bathroom plans.

Whatever the size of your space or your budget, we’re here to help.

TO ADVERTISE CALL 01278 238000 most organisms on Earth. A mature leafy tree can produce as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. By cleansing the air, trees essentially act as the lungs of our planet.

Trees are formidable warriors in the battle against climate change. By absorbing and storing carbon dioxide, they mitigate the greenhouse effect, helping to cool our warming planet. Forests worldwide store more than 296 gigatons of carbon, acting as crucial carbon sinks.

Forests, rich with trees of all kinds, are hotspots of biodiversity. They provide habitat, food, and protection to countless species, from the tallest giraffes nibbling on treetop leaves in Africa, to the smallest beetles burrowing in the bark of rainforest trees. Without trees, many of these habitats would be lost, leading to massive declines in biodiversity.

Trees play an essential role in maintaining the health and integrity of our soil. Their root systems anchor the soil, preventing erosion, particularly in areas susceptible to landslides or during heavy rainfall. Furthermore, fallen leaves decompose and enrich the soil with nutrients, promoting a healthy ground ecosystem.

Trees significantly influence the water cycle.

They absorb rainfall and produce water vapour through transpiration, which is then released into the atmosphere. This process not only aids in cloud formation but also ensures that water is recycled back into our environment through rain, maintaining a balanced ecosystem.

In urban environments, trees act as natural air conditioners. Their shade cools down streets and cities, reducing the need for air conditioning in nearby buildings and lowering energy costs.

Moreover, trees absorb and block sunlight, reducing the heat island effect common in urban areas.

Recent studies have highlighted the health benefits associated with trees. Proximity to green spaces with trees, has been linked to reduced stress, lower depression rates, and increased physical activity. Furthermore, trees filter out pollutants, providing cleaner air and reducing the rates of respiratory illnesses.

The multifaceted roles trees play in sustaining life on Earth means that we should be protecting them and planting more. In a rapidly changing world they are the stewards of our world and it is our duty to recognize their value, protect them, and ensure they continue to thrive for generations to come.

Happy gardening.

Latest innovations in incontinence pads Incontinence pads really have come a long way in recent years. Now they provide better comfort, greater security and more convenience.

• Super absorbent materials quickly lock away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable for longer periods and reducing the frequency of pad changes.

• Advanced odour control technology means you can go about your daily activities without worrying about unwanted odours.

• Slimmer designs are less conspicuous and more comfortable to wear, allowing you to move freely and confidently.

• Higher quality pads have stay dry topsheets which wick moisture away from the skin, minimising the risk of skin irritation – very important for those with sensitive skin or who require long-term incontinence care.

• Arelle only stocks pads from Abena, because this is a company approved by The Nordic Swan Ecolabel, meaning the pads we sell are ecofriendly and more sustainable while still providing the same level of performance.

For help on choosing the product which is right for you, give us a call on 0800 389 3597 and we would be more than happy to chat through your options.

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!
