The Sounds of Joy: Why Hearing Care will bring more cheer than ever this Festive Season During the festive season, we find ourselves gathering with family and friends, reminiscing on old stories and creating new memories. These joyful moments, filled with laughter and love, are what make the holidays so special.

At Meadows & Wood Hearing Care, we believe hearing is the key that unlocks the magic of these moments, keeping us close to the people and memories we cherish. We’re here to help you keep those connections strong, so you can celebrate every joyful sound this season.

At Meadows & Wood, we understand that hearing is more than just hearing sounds, it’s about feeling connected. From the infectious giggles of a grandchild, a festive gathering, or a quiet cup of tea with family. But when hearing begins to fade, these precious memories can feel distant. That’s why caring for your hearing is essential to staying connected with the moments and people that matter most. Our state-of-the-art hearing aids and personalised care plans are designed to restore not just your hearing, but the priceless experiences that come with it.

Don’t let another moment pass you by. Our expert audiologists are dedicated to finding solutions that fit your unique needs. At North Somerset’s only full time and fully independent audiology and tinnitus treatment centre, we would be pleased to give you a free check-up and have a chat about your hearing. Visit us at any of our North Somerset clinics or contact us using the details below.

Give Yourself & Your Loft a Festive Treat!

Yes, it’s that time again already! Christmas is approaching, and it will soon be time to start thinking about digging out the decorations. If you’re anything like the rest of us, you probably put everything into a couple of boxes at the end of last year, and haven’t thought about them since.

Pulling decorations out of storage, and getting them ready for another year, will no doubt be a mix of both pleasure and chore; rediscovering some old favourites, and sorting out the usual mess of the fairy lights, but just how safe is it to get to those boxes? How much clutter is getting in the way?

According to a survey by the National Accident Helpline, 1 in 50 people have fallen out of the loft while bringing down tinsel, baubles and other decorations. Although many Christmas accidents are quickly shrugged off, more than 80,000 people a year need hospital treatment for injuries during the festive period, according to the NHS. Here at Access4Lofts, we specialise in installing loft ladders and hatches, that can help you make the most of your loft, and safely access that extra storage you so desperately need. We have a number of options to suit any space, no matter how small, and can even offer some shelving options too. You’d be surprised at just how much room there is up there, and you’ll be even more surprised at just how quick, easy, and affordable it can be too.

Why suffer with clutter when there’s perfectly good storage space in your loft just waiting to be used? Let us make it safe and easy for you and your family this Christmas. After all, who’s going to polish off that last tin of Quality Street if you’re in A&E? No matter how much you love those baubles and tinsel, it’s just not worth the risk!

Find out how Access4Lofts can help you enjoy peace of mind, along with your festive cheer. To book a free survey and quote visit www.Access4Lofts.co.uk/BristolSouth, or call 01275 293 128.

You can also find them on Facebook as Access4Lofts Bristol South.

Nailsea Shedders and the Mens Shed Movement Our Charity originated in Nailsea a little over 12 years ago, hence Nailsea Shedders, but we are not there now. For workshop reasons we are currently based in Wraxall Village Club, BS48 1LE. We meet every Tuesday between 10:00am and 3:00pm and are open to all residents of North Somerset.

We are affiliated to the United Kingdom Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA). The association is made up of many different types of Shed, all of which have the common theme of reducing social isolation through doing things together “Shoulder to Shoulder”. For example Clevedon Shed is for men and is focussed on woodworking. Our Shed, however, is mixed gender and has a repair, recycle, reuse philosophy, similar to a Repair Cafe. Where we differ is that, whilst local Repair Cafes do an excellent job they often have limited opening hours and are constrained by following the Dutch model of repairing items whilst the owner waits. Our Shed group is more flexible, taking items back to our workshop or homes where we are covered by our insurance.

The sorts of things we work on are very varied and include... lamps, benches, lawnmowers, chairs, vacuum cleaners and clocks. We can, where required, 3D print bespoke replacement parts. We do not tend to get involved with micro-electronics, PC’s, laptops, phones, there are good local businesses who can do these. What we tend to say is, if your items cannot be cost effectively repaired locally and are likely to end up in landfill, speak to us.

Two New Services - Arts and Crafts Courses, Repairs Drop-off and Collection: Courtesy of a grant from The Biddle trust through Quartet, starting from Wednesday 20th November (see dates below), we can offer two new services. One is expanding our repair service, the other, an Arts and Crafts Course.

Some dates for the diary: Arts & Crafts, Wednesdays: 20th Nov & 4th Dec: Neuro- 2025: graphic Art 15th & 29th Jan: Bubble Art 18th Dec: Cyanotype Printing 12th & 26th Feb: Painting Bubble drops

Dream Doors also have a commitment to sustainability, providing kitchens that benefit both the homeowner, and the planet. By actively encouraging customers to reuse their existing cabinetry, and ensuring all materials removed are disposed of responsibly, Dream Doors North Somerset are making every effort to reduce the impact to the environment made by the kitchen industry.

Lasting Powers of Attorney (“LPAs”) – Have you prepared yours yet?

Most people believe that their spouse or relative will automatically be allowed to make decisions about their health care needs if they were to be incapacitated; or their property and financial affairs if unable to act. This is not the case!

If you do not have a LPA in place and were mentally incapacitated: • Your spouse/family will be denied access to your bank accounts and they will have to apply the Court of Protection to access your finances, including any pension or insurance payments which is costly and can take a year to put in place.

• The Local Council will make decisions on your health care needs, including end of life care; whereas a Health & Welfare LPA will give your attorneys some “power” to speak as if they were you regarding your care • Your spouse/family will not be able to sell your property to pay for care fees or if you needed to downsize. Again, they would have to apply to the Court of Protection.

We can prepare new LPAs for you at very reasonable rates or carry out a free review of your current documents to ensure they meet your needs..

Top composting tip: how to make your own leaf mould Heap fallen leaves in a sheltered corner of your garden or add them to a bin built from chicken wire and stakes. Make sure the leaves remain damp. In one year, you can harvest your own soil improver to top dress your borders or, after two years, mix with sharp sand/grit for homemade seed compost. Meanwhile, your leaf pile will provide a safe place for invertebrates to overwinter.
