“Fantastic responsive service. It’s the 2nd time I have used central roofing and on both occasions they turned up on time got on with the job and kept us informed on what was being carried out. Went above and beyond and assisted me in issues around insurance. I would recommend this company to anyone with roofing issues.”

BOX END

We used Central Roofing to take down an old flat roof and install another on our business premises at Knight Brothers Garage. The company was very reliable, they turned up when they said they would, the guys that did the work were very tidy and efficient. The work was completed in the time frame they set…we are more than pleased with the finished job.

Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re a burden We live in an aging society. There are far more people aged over 65 in the UK today compared to a generation ago, and it’s a fact of life that our needs change as we get older. Why then, do we sometimes feel like a burden if we ask for help in our later years?

Age UK did some research into why people struggle in later life. They found that older people often feel excluded, or they exclude themselves, from the world around them.

This was because of a few things, such as people feeling their lives didn’t hold as much worth; feeling that the benefits of making a change were outweighed by the effort; and not knowing how to change things.

We all have bad days. But if you’re struggling every day with household tasks like paying bills, cooking or using the bathroom, or your emotions are getting the better of you, then it’s time to act. For support and guidance, call Age UK’s Advice Line any day of the year on 0800 678 1602 (8am to 7pm).

When it comes to help in the home, it’s common for people only to seek help as a result of a fall, accident or near-miss. It’s also common for a spouse, carer or family member to take action on someone else’s behalf.

If you need adaptations in your home, such as new grab rails, ramps, or a walk-in bath, it can be hard to know where to start. If money is a concern, did you know there’s a grant available for those with a qualifying condition? Talk to the council or search online for the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG).

Changes to your home don’t need to look unsightly either. Just because you’re adding grab rails or a raised toilet in your bathroom for example, doesn’t mean it will look like a hospital bathroom. You could see it as an opportunity to refresh and update one of the most important rooms of your house.

If you’re unsure about which supplier to use for home adaptations, talk to family and friends about who they might know. If you can get online, have a look on Checkatrade.com for local suppliers who other people recommend. Usually, smaller companies are cheaper than the bigger brands.

Be proactive. If you think you need some extra guidance or support, talk to someone. Think about what might help to make everyday life easier for you and seek it out. You’re not alone – there are so many people facing these same challenges. Asking for help is the first step towards making your life healthier, easier and happier.

Is your internet supposed to be fast, but is actually slow?

We see many posts on social media about people complaining about their internet connection. Often speed is quoted as not being as good as expected, and the provider is sometimes unfairly blamed for this.

In our experience, there are many factors that people do not realise can affect their speeds. Firstly, the priority is getting a good speed into the house (to the router to be precise).

If you have had broadband for many years, have you checked to see if a better package is available, either with your current provider, or possibly another provider? Having a modern router is also highly recommended. Full fibre is the best available connection but not all addresses can get it – yet.

Also, not all providers offer full fibre broadband, so you really need to understand what is available to your address. For example, Plusnet currently do not offer full fibre broadband even if it is available in your road. Wi-fi is also a big problem in some properties due to factors such as internal walls, wood and other construction materials. Often, wi-fi will deteriorate with distance, so even one or two walls can substantially reduce the signal speed.

We specialise in improving internet speeds, so please see our advert on this page and book us in to review your system and provide suggestions.

Community spirit at Priory Court Care Home Residents at Priory Court Care Home in Burnham-on-Sea have started their own baking club, thanks to the Wellbeing Team at the care home. They started off with jam tarts and in their next session will be baking biscuits in celebration of national biscuit day. Residents have also enjoyed many trips out including to the beach and local landmarks.

Priory Court Care Home provides residential and dementia care for up to twenty-nine people in a comfortable and homely setting. The dedicated care team get to know each resident to provide person-centred care and support.

Commenting on Priory Court one relative said; “My mum has been at Priory Court Care Home for a year. I have always been happy with the home, but her care has improved even more recently with the new manager. Nothing is too much trouble, and the staff are amazing, patient and caring. I have even met with the chef today and discussed Mums likes and dislikes. The chef was really helpful and welcomes new ideas, the food looks lovely. I am often phoned with updates on my mum and asked for input regarding her care. The staff are so cheerful, positive and helpful that work with Mum and know Mum really well. They paint her nails and even offer bubble baths! Entertainment is really good, and Mum enjoys joining in with crafts, gardening and baking. They often have cinema afternoons at the home and Mum enjoyed an ice cream trip out to Burnham. I’m so pleased I have peace of mind and any issue is swiftly sorted. Well done to all the Priory Team!”

The homes’ philosophy of providing person-centred care means that residents choose what they would like to do each day according to their interests and hobbies. There is always plenty going on, from darts, jigsaws, games and sing-alongs to gardening and crafts. Special days are marked and celebrated with spectacular birthday cakes baked by the on-site chef and catering team.

Our orphans are growing up fast July is a very exciting time for the animals at Secret World Wildlife Rescue. The tiny, orphaned foxes and badgers that came to us in Spring will have settled into their social groups and are ready to move onto the next stage of their rehabilitation.

We will soon be moving them into our pre-release enclosures. These are large outdoor pens at the far end of our site, where they will spend time getting used to being outdoors and “becoming wild”. At this point, our animal carers are very hands-off, throwing in food and only intervening if there is a problem. This is a very important part of their recovery as it teaches them to be independent and start exhibiting wild behaviours like digging. The enclosures are underwired and have tall fences with overhangs around them as foxes are also very good climbers!

A few weeks later, after final health checks and treatment – all our badgers are vaccinated against bovine TB – they will be moved to temporary pens at carefully selected release sites. Here they are support fed by landowners and spend a few weeks acclimatising before the door is opened and they are free to explore their new home in the wild where they belong.

We have lots of exciting events coming up this year, including the return of our annual Auction and Ball, which last took place in 2019. It’s a wonderful evening and a great way to help wildlife, with a threecourse meal, live music, casino, and of course the main auction. Book your place before 31st July to receive an early bird discount ticket for £45 (regular price is £50).

Comprehensive land & housing expertise Our business provides a tailored service best suited for private landowners, niche developers, regional and national housebuilders, commercial agents, and affordable housing providers. No two sites are the same, just like successful land transactions, they mean different things to different parties. Offering independent land agency services we provide an unbiased, tailor-made experience.

With 20 years of experience in the industry, we offer comprehensive land & housing expertise. We are proud of senior-level partnerships in the property development industry and continuously grow our business relationships.

Are you looking for the next project? Regardless of market conditions, there is always a need for development land. We have a consultancy expert ready to identify projects and land with potential for all types of development, including urban extension, brownfield and greenfield sites, garden assembly, town/ city infill sites, building conversions, medium, and long-term strategic land!

Are you thinking of selling or developing your land? Land selling doesn’t need to be a daunting experience.

We’re not going to lie, the process can be lengthy, involve numerous parties, and be competitive (as land with planning permission is at a premium), but we aim to provide a service that allows you to maximise the value of your land and support you throughout the sales process.

We are the perfect consultancy partner, whether you are a landowner looking to sell surplus land or a residential developer interested in securing a site. The right advice and guidance can make all the difference to achieving a successful land sale for residential development.

We are currently working on many sites around Somerset, and across the rest of the country, we deal with all shapes and sizes so no matter what, don’t be afraid to get in contact.

And if you have anything with planning and you are struggling to sell, then please get in touch, we have sold lots of sites where other agents have failed, some of which we have re-designed to produce a better outcome for all involved!

Do you have any of the following…

Potential development land?

Land you would like to know it’s value?

Land you have been unable to sell?

Land to sell but don’t want to pay a selling fee?

Our specialist services include:

• Land Acquisition • Land Disposal • Consultation All of our exclusive land deals are done ‘Off Market’, so you won’t find them online!

We have a huge range of developers all over the country waiting to buy sites from single dwellings to 150 units!

So call us today and lets get the ball rolling...

Are you a Bronze, Silver or Gold Chef?!

Musings of an OvenGleamer The Commonwealth Games are starting later this month in Birmingham and Worl Class athletes will be competing for hopefully a Gold Medal. But what sort of Chef are you?

Bronze Medal? (and about my level!) cooking is one of your life’s simple pleasures and your skill level is simple too. You’re great at using the microwave and can cope with a pan of boiling water for pasta and potatoes. You could cook a 3 course meal with a combi-microwave. Cheat with a ready-made prawn cocktails, then cook a chicken using the grill function and cook ‘steam in a bag’ vegetables to produce a Roast Dinner. For dessert “ping” chocolate sponge puddings with chocolate sauce to finish off…simples!

More budding chefs (most of you) come in at least a Silver Medal standard. You’re great at using a hob and an oven with several pans boiling away on the hob top whilst a delicious joint is roasting away in the oven. You are classic multi-tasker with better time–management skills than me. My partner falls in this category – she does a mean Roast Beef, Yorkshire puddings and mountains of vegetables – all cooked to perfection and appearing on the table at the same time. For dessert she produces an apple pie out of oven with creamy custard. She then expects me, a professional oven cleaner, to clean our cooker?

Does she not understand that it’s my day off?

Gold Medal winners are you BBQ cookers! How anyone can produce an array of succulent steaks, juicy sausages and melt-in-the-mouth burgers as well as foil wrapped salmon from just a metal grid over some hot coals or gas, I’ll never know. You then to serve them with a selection of fresh salads and summer cocktails – a skill level way beyond my reach. My friends do this, invite me over and I can enjoy the fruits of their labours! Then with a messy BBQ, they phone me to clean it – fed and paid – Gold Medal for me on that one!

So where do you fit into my medal parade – are you a bronze, silver or gold medal Chef? I promise you a Gold Medal service, call today: Graeme Robertson OvenGleamers on 01278 497541

Keeping our mobility…Little and often is best We all know that keeping our mobility as we age is important for many reasons, it allows to keep our independency and to keep involved more easily in the community and it helps our overall health. There are many exercise groups aimed at varying mobilities you can attend or exercises we can do at home.

Little and often is best, try these at home: • When sitting for long periods make sure you get up once and hour and move around even if you just walk to the kitchen for a drink.

• There is lots of chair based exercises and stretches that are great for circulation, motor skills and flexibility: 1. Lift your toes towards your shins, hold for a few seconds and slowly release.

2. Lift one thigh while sat, hold for a few seconds, release and then alternate to the other thigh.

3. Lift your arms out to the side of you hold and release, to make it a little harder you could hold something in your hands, make sure the weight each side is even or do one arm at a time.

4. Turn your head to one side, hold and then turn to the other side and hold.

5. Press chin towards your chest and then tilt your head back to stretch your neck muscles.

6. Repeat these exercise a couple of times of you find it easy or stop at one if it was a challenge, as the weeks go by you’ll see an improvement.

At The Towans residential care home residents are encouraged to get involved daily in flexercise, group games aimed at mobility and regular dancing in a bid to keep mobile.

LOCAL BUSINESS A-Z

Love to sing The Burnham & Highbridge Choral Society (BHCS) are a very friendly, non-auditioned choir based in Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset and has currently 45 - 50 members with differing levels of musical ability and experience.

We rehearse on Thursday evenings from 7:30pm to 9:30pm at the Burnham Methodist Church Hall in College Street. Traditionally there have been two performances each year, one in December, held in the town’s Catholic church, and the other in April usually held in St Andrew’s Church. The Spring Concert features an orchestral ensemble and guest soloists. During the summer, a few of us get together to have an informal Summer Sing. The choir works with musical director James Davies and professional accompanist Frances Webb for rehearsals and performances. We perform a repertoire of sacred, secular, classical, and stage music. We are looking for new members, particularly men folk as they are the foundation of any choir. You will get all the support you need learning the music.

The Berrow and Brean Community Hubs and Cafes are still going strong. It has been a pleasure to welcome some new faces. We also have some new volunteers who are helping at the Brean Hub. It is good to see our community growing and we will always welcome anyone who wants to join us either as a visitor or a volunteer. Just contact Lesley on 07770692228.

The Good Neighbours Committee has now set up a working party to investigate the local transport available through both villages. We have spoken to Nick Margison from Somerset County Council, who has been able to explain a variety of Community Transport options, but we really need to know what the people living in Berrow and Brean need. We are going to distribute some questionnaires through both villages and would ask you to contribute for us. It will help to inform our decision making in September.

Please look out for them and complete one. They need to be returned by June 30th either to the place you got it from, to the hubs or I will arrange collection. (See mobile above) Let’s work together to improve transport options for our community.
