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.

STRONG, SECURE & BUILT TO LAST!

Colourfence are transforming gardens across Somerset!

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.

Tea And Talk - ‘Scams and Fraud’ by PSO Nathan Chard

What is good to harvest in October

October is the month of abundance in the garden with fruits and vegetables

aplenty. Here is what is good to harvest this month and what other jobs there are to do

The month of October is harvest time, a month where you can harvest both summer and autumn fruit and vegetables.

Fruits

Fruits in your garden should be ripe and ready to pick in October.

Soft fruits - If you are lucky and the weather remains mild, then you could still be harvesting your summer soft fruits. Perhaps you are still picking the last of your strawberries, raspberries or plums but your blackberries should still be cropping heavily and will be perfectly sweet.

Elderberries - You might have elderberries growing on the edges of your garden. Elderberries are full of antioxidants and vitamins that can boost your immune system but remember you must cook your elderberries by boiling for at least half an hour to neutralise the toxins they contain.

Fruit trees – These are ladened with bounty and the apples will still be ripening nicely whilst the pears will be ready to drop.

Vegetables

October is so bountiful that the list of vegetables to harvest is long! Aubergines are fat and succulent whilst butternut squashes are delicious and pumpkins ripe for the picking in readiness for Halloween.

Greenhouse - In the greenhouse tomatoes are finishing their long summer of fruiting and cucumbers are still perfect to adorn your salads.

Greens and alliums - Greens such as spinach, kale and broccoli are deliciously nutritious, and regular picking of leaves or heads encourages more to grow. Cabbages that were sown in May are now large and ready to eat and cauliflowers

have impressive white heads, whilst onions and leeks are large and ready for lifting, drying and storing for over winter eating.

Root vegetables - Get your fork out to carefully dig late potatoes, turnips, swedes, and carrots. If you can lift these carefully and avoid damaging the vegetables they can then be stored in a cool, dry place and enjoyed for many months.

Think ahead and sow some seeds

If you live somewhere where autumn frosts are imminent then October might be your last chance to sow your overwintering beans and peas, but you will need to cover them with some kind of protection, perhaps a frame, cloche or fleece. You can also plant out your spring cabbages for succulent and delicious early spring greens.

October is the month of plentiful harvest in the garden, but it is also a time to look forward and think about next year’s garden.

Hallowe’en Howlers…or Not? Graham Rogers, OvenGleamers

A bit of fun this month from OvenGleamers – do you know which of these are true or which are not ie Howlers?!

1. The hydrochloric acid of the human digestive process is so strong a corrosive that it easily can eat its way through a cotton handkerchief and even through iron. But it does not endanger the walls of the stomach, which are protected by a film of sticky mucus (yuk!). Howler? No this is true!

2. One of the first things we learned in a Chemistry lab is how to light a Bunsen burner, a gas burner used to heat solutions of chemicals. The eminent German chemist Robert W. Bunsen invented the Bunsen burner. Howler? Yes…Robert W Bunsen did not invent it, he merely popularized its use.

3. Most plant pollen is highly inflammable. It will ignite and explode when placed on an extremely hot surface. In the early days of modern theatre, artificial lightning was produced by throwing pollen grains of the club moss onto a hot shovel. Howler? No, it’s not.

4. Human skulls have been used as drinking cups throughout history. CroMagnon (the first early modern) man scraped away muscles and flesh and hacked off and smooth the lower portion of the skull. (It is not known whether these skulls belonged to revered ancestors or hated enemies.) In the Middle Ages, the skulls of saints were used as drinking cups on ceremonial occasions. Lord Byron served wine to his visitors in Newstead Abbey in a human skull that he found in the cloisters there. A Howler or Not? Not.

Planning to upgrade your broadband?

As companies such as Openreach/Gigaclear/Truespeed and Virgin roll out their full fibre networks, we thought it would be sensible to advise people on the situation with their landline phones.

We are finding that some providers (but not always) are now expecting their customers to plug their landline phone handset directly into the router after agreeing a new package (with a different router being supplied), as the traditional BT master socket and extensions are becoming redundant. In some cases, this is not explained to the customer, so a new router arrives, which they fit, only to find that their landline no longer works. It is usually a case of unplugging the landline from the wall socket and then plugging it into the appropriate slot on the back of the router. This is not always made clear by the provider when you sign up.

Plusnet is also now not allowing landline contracts on upgrading to full fibre, so if you are a Plusnet customer and want to upgrade, you may need to move over to another provider such as BT/Sky or TalkTalk which do still support having a landline number.

Some things to consider if you upgrade to a full fibre (up to 1000mbps) connection:

1. A new cable will be installed to your house by the provider’s engineers.

2. The installation may not happen in a place that is convenient to you, so we recommend always being there when the engineers start work

3. The new system will not utilise your existing phone sockets and extensions

4. Telephone handset will need to be plugged into the router (or a small sub-box)

5. Some people will need to replace multiple corded handsets with a new cordless phone system.

We must stress that generally installations go very well, and the above is just a guide to be aware of. We don’t want to put anybody off upgrading their connection to a better service.

Should you be concerned about any aspect of upgrading your internet connection, we are available to advise on the best way forward. We offer a service where we come to you and can discuss all the options available.

Building confidence in the comfort of your own home

Receiving care in the comfort of your own home can help you to build your confidence, retain your independence and live a full and fulfilling life. Offering companionship, help with household tasks and shopping, assistance with your personal care and wellbeing, and support to get out and about, the right home care can be life-changing.

Whether you’re looking to retain your beloved hobbies and interests, or need support at home following a hospital stay, choosing the right care team makes all the difference. Look for experienced carers in your area, who have established links with local community groups and organisations, and who can ensure you receive first-class, tailored care which meets your needs. When welcoming someone into your home, trust is key. For your own peace of mind, seek out highly-trained, qualified carers, who are fully insured, work for a regulated care provider, and offer a wealth of knowledge and experience in home care.

Choosing a larger, regulated care provider means that you will never be without care. If your usual carer is unavailable, an equally qualified, helpful colleague will be able to ensure that your care visits can still go ahead, and your needs will be met. As your care plans are securely held by the regulated care provider, rather than an individual, you can rest easy knowing that whoever delivers your care will have access to all of the information that they need to keep you safe.

A larger care provider with a team of expert carers will have the flexibility to arrange home care visits when they suit you - including evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays – regardless of whether you need short-term support or longer-term care.

Somerset Care’s established home care teams in and around Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge are regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and are part of the not-for-profit Somerset Care Group. Call 0800 817 4925 or visit somersetcare.co.uk to discover how you can live the life you choose at home, with support tailored to your individual needs.

Our home care services across Somerset, Wiltshire, Devon and B&NES can support you with:

✓ Help at home

✓ Personal care

✓ Medication management

✓ Getting you back on your feet

✓ Regaining confidence to go out and about

✓ Maintaining your hobbies and interests
