humidity comes the increased risk of mould and associated respiratory problems

This month – Plants as air purifiers

Obviously, we can install a dehumidifier or an extractor fan, but nature also provides her own dehumidifiers and air purifiers in the form of certain house plants.

The best houseplants for mould-prone areas are those which are efficient at absorbing moisture through their leaves. Not all plants are equally efficient at this task so I’ve selected four of the best.

Each offers a different aesthetic so there should be one that’s perfect for you.

English ivy is a native plant and it’s a low-cost option. It removes airborne mould, but also other toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene. It grows best in bright, indirect sunlight so is perfect for northfacing rooms. You need to keep it out of reach of toddlers and pets because the leaves are toxic.

A friend recently asked me whether there are any plants which might help with the humidity and mould problem in the bathroom and back bedroom of her Victorian house. It’s a problem that actually affects many British households. Many of our homes are old, and in our damp climate humidity can rise pretty quickly in the winter when all the windows are closed, and the radiators are on. With increased

One of the advantages of a Peace Lily is that it tells you when its thirsty by drooping and that it’s getting too much light by turning yellow. They love high humidity areas with indirect sunlight like most bathrooms and are great at preventing mould. Like English ivy the leaves and flowers are toxic.

Palms add a tropical touch to a room and will efficiently reduce humidity. There are many varieties and some of the best are the lady palm, dwarf palm and reed palm. Indirect light is best and keep the surface of the soil moist but not wet.

Peace Lilies remind me of the film Hot Fuzz.

Sergeant Angel, played by Sean Pegg loved his Peace Lily, and he had good reason. Not only are they elegant plants with stunning white flowers, but research conducted by NASA found the Peace Lily to be one of the top indoor plants for air purification.

This tropical plant breaks down and neutralizes benzene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide.

The Snake Plant is a wonderfully architectural succulent. Its evergreen sword-shaped leaves grow upright, and almost resemble artificial foliage. It’s great at air purification and is one of the few plants that can convert carbon dioxide into oxygen at night. This quality makes it particularly good for use in a bedroom as it can help regulate healthy airflow.

Snake plants can absorb cancer-causing pollutants, including CO2, benzene, formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene and act as an effective defence against airborne allergies.

ColourFence Fencing, built to last for at least 25 years!

ColourFence is becoming increasingly popular across the UK with homeowners fed up of losing their garden fences to winter storms and the hassle of replacing them. Equally, timber fences decay rapidly and require regular treatment with paint and chemical cleaners.

Unlike standard timber fences, ColourFence is designed to resist harsh weather conditions and will withstand wind gusts of up to 130mph!

The weatherproof and durable ColourFence range has a number of core benefits that appeal to homeowners, it’s guaranteed not to warp, crack, rot, peel or colour fade for the next 25 years.

When fencing maintenance costs are high, you want an option that is easy, low maintenance and cost-effective; and ColourFence is all those things and more, not least the 25-year guarantee. No painting, preserving, repairs or harsh cleaning chemicals, just an occasional hose down to keep it looking as good as new.

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 2.35 metres wide compared to 1.8 metres wide for standard timber panels (so you need fewer panels like for like) and can be cut on-site to custom fit your garden, whatever the size and the natural contours of your land. Our traditional metal garden gates are ideal for front gardens or driveways. With the ability to choose from simple drop bolts to key operated deadlocks we can guarantee the safety of your garden.

Scones

standard 1.5 to 2 inch height isn’t always certain either as some places – admittedly few – contend that a ‘scone’ is a flattish biscuit, rather than the softer and higher floury confection that most are familiar with.

The constitution of scones doesn’t restrict itself to the ‘fuller’ of ‘flat’ varieties, either. Debate still rumbles on about whether the addition of small pieces to the mix renders fruit scones as an entirely different beast altogether or simply a variant of the traditional type.

Made with wholemeal or other flours? Even the pronunciation is a source of argument: ‘Scones’ as in ‘bones’ or ‘scons’ as in mons’?

The debate about whether a halved scone should have the jam or the cream applied first is a longrunning one. It is alleged that different counties favour one method over the other but that cannot be a cast-iron rule; depending as much on personal preference as anything else.

Still more choices arise. Should the two halves then be placed together again and consumed in several (very big) mouthfuls? Or each half be eaten separately and in a more genteel manner? The

One thing few people dispute is the deliciousness of the end product and herein lies a comparison.

Christianity itself is vast enough to encompass many styles and approaches but part of the end result is similar – a feeling of joy, No matter how or where one worships, Christ calls all to be a family member. Like the multitudinous forms of scone, the church welcomes people of all stripes. And worship has the additional advantage of not adding extra girth to anybody’s waistline!

LOCAL HISTORY

Good food and new beginnings Thoughts of New Years Eve conjures up for me images of food, celebration and new beginnings. By chance I was reminded recently that Samuel Pepys began writing his diary in January 1660 and was very fond of food and drink and of entertaining, making many references to this throughout his diary. It was written in a form of shorthand called “Zeiglographia” which had been invented by a man called Thomas Shelton in about 1626. It was widely used and Pepys had probably learned it when he attended Magdalene College, Cambridge as an undergraduate.

Pepys was born in 1633, worked as a naval administrator and was responsible for the development of a professional naval service. His diary, which he wrote until 1703, when his eyesight started to fail, chronicles many of the events of the

time including the plague, the Great Fire of London as well as observations about some of the key figures of the era such as Sir Isaac Newton and Christopher Wren. It is also a valuable account of life and times for the social historian, including as it does, a mixture of personal entries about himself, his family and his health and tells us a lot about what was eaten and drunk at that time.

On Christmas Day 1660, for example, he and his wife ate “a good shoulder of mutton and a chicken.”

This was, however, simple fare compared to what was eaten when entertaining.

On 26 January 1660, he writes about a family party for which “my wife had got ready a very fine dinner: viz. a dish of marrow-bones. A leg of mutton. A loin of veal. A dish of fowl, three pullets, and two dozen of larks, all in a dish. A great tart. A neat’s tongue.

A dish of anchovies. A dish of prawns; and cheese.”

I don’t suppose any of us will be sitting down to such a feast in 2022 but here’s hoping you all have a Happy New Year.

‘Music in Mind’: Making Connections Through Music Monday 10th and 24th January: At the Masonic Hall, Wedmore from 2:15pm - 3:30pm and it’s FREE! Do you know anyone who is living with memory problems or a sense of isolation who might be interested in coming along to Music in Mind?

Once a fortnight in the Masonic Hall in Wedmore, we sing a variety of well-known songs together, (it is well-known now that the memory of song words is often retained when spoken language and memory are failing.) We also use percussion instruments to play together. The music offers everyone a chance to express themselves freely and they can’t ‘do it wrong’ so there is no pressure. We listen to a short piece of recorded music too and sometimes have the benefit of some extra ‘live music’ provided by friendly musicians who come to enrich the sessions.

It is a friendly, social occasion, so of course we also have refreshments!

Please do get in touch if you are interested or know someone you think would benefit. Sometimes we can help with transport too.

Happy New Year - time to start afresh We hope you all had a good festive break and are now turning your attention to the New Year ahead and what vour New Year resolutions might be.

To understand your business and make informed strategic business decisions you need to regularly review detailed, accurate and up to date information.

As a business owner one New Year resolution to focus on is that you need accurate and up to date financial information to help run your business, but how often do you review such information and how up to date is it?

If you don’t have a good grasp on the financial health of your business, you are effectively “flying blind”.

Whilst you may be able to get away with this for a while, eventually you are going to face something you didn’t see coming. If you have no idea where you are, you will also have no idea where you are going.

If you have been trading for a while you probably have an accountant who prepares an annual Profit and Loss Report and Balance Sheet as part of your year end accounts and tax return process. However, when you receive your annual accounts the data within them is historical. It doesn’t matter how accurate the information is, it is out of date.

It is good to reflect on the past, and accurate financial statements do paint a picture of how your business has fared over time. However, past performance doesn’t predict the future, although it is helpful to review the past and to analyse decisions that were made.

Usually, annual reports are in a format for your statutory accounts and they do not go into the detail you require for a successful business.

As a business owner you will have a vision of where you want your business to go, and a huge aspect of this vision needs to be the financial piece.

This is where having accurate financial data at your fingertips, will enable you to more precisely plan your future. This data should be reviewed regularly, at least monthly, and can be in the form of reports and key performance indicators (KPI’s).

Analysing the business profitability in detail and reviewing it monthly will ensure any issues or opportunities are promptly noticed and relevant action can be taken in ‘real-time’.

So if you’re ready to make that New Year’s resolution and need help with your business performance reviews, get in touch with us today.

Are you thinking of replacing your sofa?

Most of us have spent much more time on our favourite sofa and armchairs during lockdown and understandably they may not be looking their best due to the extra wear and tear, drink and food spills.

However, Home furnishing are an expensive investment, so have you considered getting them professionally cleaned? It is possible to have most fabrics and leather cleaned and restored as good as new for a fraction of the cost of replacement! It is even possible to have the the manufacturer stainguard treatment topped up.

So before you decide to spend all that money why not call Copper Beech Cleaning for a free home survey and honest assessment to see if it can be professionally restored.

Has your computer had a check-up recently?

Most people get their car serviced once a year – not because they are faulty, but mainly to keep it running well and also prevent breakdowns.

We apply a similar scenario to computers, as often people buy a computer, but rarely have anybody make sure that it is running correctly.

Typically, we meet people who have never had a professional check their computer, and have sometimes succumbed to a serious problem that has meant lost photographs, or even a large financial loss that could have been prevented with the right advice.

A computer service addresses numerous potential issues such as slowness, security, backups, answering questions and to make sure that the operating system (i.e Windows or MacOS) is up to date, therefore providing the best experience to the user. The term ‘blissfully unaware’ often springs to mind as people don’t realise that if certain aspects are not put into place, a serious problem could occur.

A check-up usually only takes an hour and can provide a useful insight into keeping your IT in check. Please see our advert on this page and get in touch if you think this could be of use.

Oven Cleaning – The Job We ALL Hate!

Are you embarrassed by the state of your oven? Do you hide your cooker door with a tea towel folded over the handle?

Are you hoping that Christmas dinner this year will be cooked at the in-laws?

You’re not alone – the vast majority of us hate cleaning our ovens – it’s a messy job with dangerous chemicals and it seems to take forever. But the benefits of cleaning it really are worth the effort to get it clean. If your oven is greasy then each time you heat it up, the grease already caked on in your oven will start to vaporize and permeate and taint your lovely fresh food. You’ll also find that your oven takes longer to get up to temperate as the grease forms a blanket-like layer which has to be heated first before the cavity of your oven gets heated. Keeping that oven door glass clean not only looks nice but also gives you the chance to check your food whilst it’s cooking without having to keep opening the oven door (letting the heat) to see how it’s doing.

Feeling exasperated about the thought of actually cleaning your oven? Then let OvenGleamers help you - we offer a professional deep cleaning service of your cooking appliances and are the only local oven cleaning company that does not use harmful chemicals within your home. Give us a call and get your oven looking “as new” again.

Once your cooker’s clean again here are OvenGleamers 5 top tips for keeping your oven looking good between cleans: 1. Wipe up spills on the inside of the oven and oven door whilst the spills are still in liquid form.

2. Use an Oven Liner on the base of your oven or on the bottom rack to catch drips. These liners are non-stick and wipe clean easily or you can pop them in the dishwasher. (AGA clients can use these liners as non- stock liners in their roasting tins or baking trays) 3. Do not clean the exterior of an oven if it is hot. The heat will quickly evaporate the cleaning solution and leave a residue.

4. Soak the burner racks in warm, soapy water.

5. For stoves with flat top hob – simply spray with a gentle cleanser and wipe dry.

Graeme Robertson is your local OvenGleamer and can be reached on 01934 440032. See our website www.ovengleamers.com for more details or check Graeme’s Facebook page: @OvenGleamersWestonSuperMare

Down at the clubhouse our two full-size indoor rinks are witnessing some excellent competitive bowls in the daily morning, afternoon and evening leagues. It has been really good to see many new bowlers enjoying their first experience of the game and many thanks are due to the coaching team for all their hard work in helping these and others develop their skills.

The Somerset county indoor league commences with another tough game against North Petherton on a home/away basis. Meanwhile the internal knockout competitions are well underway, a particular highlight being the first round of the club triples.

The social side of the club is also in full swing - a highly successful Bingo and hot food evening was attended by almost fifty people in mid November whilst a Charity Coffee Morning and Craft Fair took place on 27th November. The intrepid gardening squad have been hard at work too - cutting back boundary hedges and trees and creating new rose and flower beds. Many thanks to the volunteers, who know who they are, but in particular many thanks to the sponsors of the rose beds.

Bowls is a great way to keep active and meet people.

The social aspect of the club is just as important to us as the competitive bowling. If you would like to enjoy some of the finest bowls facilities in Somerset call Steve Young on 01749 870987 or mail him at steveyoung1987@hotmail.co.uk

Good Neighbours – Ready to help in 2022 The Wedmore Good Neighbours Group is well established now and ready to help those in the local community who could do with a bit of extra help as we move into 2022. Most requests over the last twelve months have involved providing lifts to a medical appointment at a doctor’s surgery, hospital or vaccination centre. However, volunteers are also available to drive people to club meetings and other community social events in and around Wedmore.

Volunteers can offer support in other ways too.

Maybe you could use an extra pair of hands in your garden or need someone to walk your dog if you get sick? Perhaps you support a relative but are going away for a few days and need someone to look in on them? The group can handle a wide variety of requests – but occasionally has to decline simply because the insurance policy does not cover every circumstance.

The service is operated by volunteers and has received some start-up funding from Sedgemoor District Council and the Somerset Community Foundation. It’s free to use but the group does have running costs – insurance, petrol expenses, as well as vetting and training of volunteers. So, if you do use the service and want to make a small donation, this is always very welcome!

Know of someone in and around Wedmore who would welcome assistance of the kind the scheme provides? Please encourage them to call 01934 806299 and leave a message - a volunteer will contact them within 24 hours. Please note that we’re not part of social services, or an emergency service… we’re just good neighbours!

If you’d like more detailed information about the group and how it operates visit the Wedmore Health and Wellbeing website – www.whawb.co.uk/gns/

Cheddar Valley Foodbank This December we found ourselves making up almost 100 hampers for our clients. These were referred from the Health visitors, Hands of Change and the Village Agent. In order to make these up, we are dependent from the schools, churches, businesses and individuals donating food and money. Rotary groups , the Henry Budgett Trust, WI, and other charitable organisations have been so kind and generous. It’s been a hard year for so many people who struggle, on their own and with families Thank you for your support and for our amazing volunteers. We’d be lost without you. We all do it without payment but with love.

Weston Choral Invites You We are the town’s choral society and would like to extend a warm invitation to join us and make 2022 a special year by making music together in our vibrant four part mixed voice choir. You will enjoy meeting folks from 14 years onwards, different generations, who have a great love of music, harmony and the wonderful contentment singing in a choir brings.

Membership is open to all. There is no audition, no test of musical ability, only enthusiasm and ability to sing in tune are required…

We would love you to join our friendly choir and potential new members are welcome to attend 3 rehearsals free while they decide whether to join.

Rehearsals will start on Tuesday 11th January from 7:30pm - 9:30pm at All Saints Church.

Please feel free to look at our Weston Choral Society website for further details. If you have any queries at all about joining or for any further information, please contact our membership secretary via email:- wcs-info@westonchoralsociety.org.uk

Axe Valley Men’s Shed add a notice board to Axbridge Square Those public-spirited gentlemen of the Axe Valley Men’s Shed have constructed a wooden notice board for Axbridge Square.

Under the guidance of carpenter Terry Wite the intricately carved notice board is built out of recycled timber and will stand approximately where the former telephone box was located carrying information about the town’s heritage trails and other information of use for residents and visitors. Mayor Kate Browne unveiled the notice board on Saturday, November 6th, during the Farmers’ Market before a crowd of well-wishers and supporters and members of the heritage trail group and men’s shed.

The Axe Valley Men’s Shed is based in Cheddar and attracts men of a certain age to pursue practical interests at leisure, to practise skills and enjoy making and mending. For about the men’s shed visit axevalleymensshed.org or their Facebook site.

Interior design colour therapy In these uncertain times the one thing that we can focus on is our home. So what are the top trends for interiors predicted for 2022?

Recently yellow has made a big come back and with its association with the season of spring, of sunshine, of light and warmth as well as communication, it’s not surprising. Even if we don’t want to paint it on our walls we can just add in the odd daffodil yellow cushion or mustard throw.

Bold patterns and prints are popular choices just now for curtains and blinds. In the reupholstery department we are seeing burnt oranges, forest greens, raspberry pinks and cobalt blues.

Neutral tones can be calming and serene and reflect a need for order and restraint. Reds and strong pinks are earthy, emotional and heart-warming. Oranges are life affirming and energetic. Yellows help us to open up, blues to clarify and purify and purples and violets speak to our spirit and lofty ideals.

At our Bath Street premises in Cheddar we run classes in Creative Interiors. Indulge your passion for interior design using colour, pattern, fabrics and furniture at one of our half day classes. New dates for 2022 can be found on our website www.prettysittingvintage.co.uk/shop/classes or give us a call to find out more.

Browns…keeping things simple!

Happy New Year to all our customers and readers of Local Reach. There is always something refreshing about stepping in to a new year isn’t there? For me its like packing up all thats happened in the previous year and starting afresh. New Years resolutions, new diets, new plans for the future. Its also a time of taking stock of the past year, considering all we have done and learnt, remembering happy times and sad times and for us all now, the scary times of 2021.

I thought it would be a good opportunity to remind you who we are and what we do. Browns Domestic Appliances has been in Weston since 1985, a family run business, repairing your domestic appliances.

That includes washing machines, washer dryers, tumble driers, dishwashers, electric cookers, ovens, hobs and hoods, fridges and freezers. We also sell new appliances, and although we do not have a showroom can advise customers on the best machines for their needs or to meet their desires, even visiting you in your home to discuss and advise. We aim to give an excellent service, and each customer is very important to us. Our service includes delivery and installation to your existing connections, and we take your old machine away. However, unlike our competitors, we always go the extra mile to overcome problems and accessibility.

One of our specialisms is integrated appliances, and we are often able to come up with solutions to many of the problems associated with replacing old with new. We work alongside a brilliant electrician and an equally brilliant gas safe engineer and a skilled carpenter. We believe our service is second to none.

With the cost of living soaring we are doing all we can to keep our charges as reasonable as possible.

We appreciate these are difficult times for us all. Watch out for our Browns Top Tips on our Facebook page to help everyone get the best from their machines and save money too.

Don’t forget we are here to help - call us on 01934 517657 - our aim to keep things simple!

Unveiling of Axbridge’s heritage trail’s first blue plaque The first of what are expected to be as many as 40 blue plaques has been unveiled in Axbridge at the town hall. Mayor Kate Browne unveiled the plaque on Saturday, November 6th, to mark the town’s new heritage trails linked to QR codes to help illustrate the history of some Axbridge’s buildings and places.

Positioned on the outside of the town hall the plaque explains how the civic building was constructed in 1830 on the site of the former Bear Inn. In its time the hall has been the site of a court room and indoor market, as well as the location of present day council meetings. Fundraising has taken place to secure cash to make the plaques led by Margaret Cowie who has secured contributions from organisations including the town’s chamber of commerce who chipped in £300.

For more on the heritage trails and blue plaques visit www.axbridgeheritagetrails.com

Sandford and Winscombe Schools Join Leading Trust On Tuesday 2nd December, the Wessex Learning Trust was proud to welcome Sandford and Winscombe Primary Schools into its Multi-Academy Trust. The schools are the 15th and 16th schools to join the leading South-West educational trust. Chief Executive of the Trust, Gavin Ball, commented: “this move is just the start of an amazing journey together and I look forward to collaborating with the staff and learners at the schools to continue their amazing work!”

u3a ‘Crafty’ Coffee Morning Mindful of the ongoing infection situation, our ‘Craft Fayre’ coffee morning ran to a different format, this year, with offerings from individual members rather than groups displaying multiple members work. This in no way detracted from the wide range of wares available to purchase, in good time for Christmas.

Items ranged from handmade decorations and present ideas to attractive books, written by our own ‘in house’ authors. The popularity of this event was proven by the highest number of attendees since the pandemic began, resulting in plenty of interest and some good sales for the stallholders. All in all a good morning and something for everyone.

Plant a Tree for the Jubilee and Go for …Green!

How can we do that in our villages? …by joining in the 2022 nationwide Queen’s Green Canopy (queensgreencanopy.org/ )initiative to plant trees in honour of Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee. January is a prime time, weather permitting, to be planting trees - and they don’t need to cost the earth. On the contrary, they can be part of your share in helping to save the earth from the worst effects of climate change - doing, not just talking!

Anyone can do it, if you’ve got the spade, the space and the muscle! Homeowners can join in this initiative by planting a tree in your own garden And February’s a good time, too. Sandford and Winscombe already have special Tree-Planting events booked for Sunday, February 6th at prime sites in their communities. That’s the very date that marks 70 years since our Queen came to the throne! …What are you planning in your Village?
