ColourFence Fencing is a unique product, there’s nothing else like it in the UK ColourFence is becoming increasingly popular across the UK with homeowners fed up of losing 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, shrink, rot or peel for the next 25 years. When fencing maintenance costs are high, you want an option that is easy, low maintenance and costeffective; 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 1.5 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.

A new year, a new chapter Who would have thought on New Year’s Day that 2020 would be such a difficult year for all of us as the pandemic took over the world and our lives.

2021 will present additional challenges whilst we all cope with the ongoing pandemic and vaccine roll out. These challenges include: • Brexit transition – this is one of the first major changes that although we have been preparing for it, the pandemic has proven to be a distraction from being ready. The Government have created a questionnaire which is available on their website and guides you through a series of questions. Whether you run a business or will be travelling to the EU, the questionnaire has been prepared to help everyone who may have dealings with the EU in the future. The questions range from what type of business you do, to whether you are planning to travel or plan to take a pet with you to the EU. The Government site states that everyone will be impacted. So to get your personalised list of actions you need to do visit www.gov.uk/transition • CBILS and Bounce Back Loans extended - The schemes are open to applications until 31 January 2021.

If you already have a Bounce Back Loan but borrowed less than you were entitled to, you can top up your existing loan to your maximum amount. You must request the top-up by 31 January 2021.

• Tax self-assessment deadline - If you are in business or an individual who hasn’t had tax automatically

deducted, or have earned extra untaxed income you will need to submit a self-assessment tax return. Don’t forget the deadline for submission is 31 January 2021.

• VAT reverse charge changes - From 1 March 2021 the domestic VAT reverse charge must be used for most supplies of building and construction services. The charge applies to standard and reduced-rate VAT services:

• for individuals or businesses who are registered for VAT in the UK

• reported within the Construction Industry Scheme More details will follow in next month’s article.

“Hic insipit pestis” Not a quote from Britain’s greatest playwright William Shakespeare (apologies to Sir Noel Coward) but from vicar John Bretchgirdle, recording the demise of one Oliver Gunne in his Parish Register. Gunne was the victim of bubonic plague and a modern-day plague is indeed how Covid-19 or coronavirus has often been viewed.

Wretched as Covid undoubtedly is, it pales compared to the plague of yore. Shakespeare grew up at a time when 25% of the population were killed by the plague. It is an astonishing, terrifying, figure. The one-in-four fatalities meant nobody was unaffected.

Shakespeare rarely acknowledged the plague in his writings - why tell people of something that was a fact of life for all? - but an early example has the Friar, on his way to inform Romeo that Juliet hasn’t, in fact, died being suspected of having stayed in an infected house. The Friar is thus quarantined and the message lost, setting the scene for the final tragic denouement. Two more quotations, both from King Lear, stand out, viz.

“Plagues that hang in this pendulous air” and “’tis the times’ plague when madmen lead the blind”.

and mankind have changed very little in so many ways. For people of faith it is the belief that this present pandemic will end. Covid-19 won’t be forever. Science can be in tandem with religion: it doesn’t have to be incompatible. Faith won’t act as a physical shield; won’t prevent believers from being infected, even succumbing but, along with vaccines and other medical solutions, it provides solid solace that whatever lies ahead, it will neither be a journey travelled alone or one without great reward.

Both very apposite and another demonstration of how despite the many centuries, pestilence

LOCAL HISTORY

Celebrating New Year and another Christmas Extracts from the Taunton Courier (7 Jan 1920), suggest that New Years day was celebrated in Somerset with an exchange of gifts although “this custom is not so closely observed as in the past”. The edition also mentions some curious customs associated with Somerset and New Years Day. Apparently, you should “Never wash anything: if you do wash one of the family away” was an old saying and “trimming the nails is as much to be avoided on New Years day as it is of a Sunday of which the rhyme is often quoted “Cut ‘em on Sunday you cut ‘em for evil. For the rest of the week you’ll be ruled by the Devil”.

Several rhymes about the weather were also quoted and apparently “The natives of Somerset always taught that the weather of the first three days of January ruled the coming three months.” “In January should sun appear, March and April will pay full dear.”

One of the best-known customs associated with New Year is that of first footing in which “The first person that crosses the threshold on New Years day, if he be a dark man, brings luck.” Although better known in the northern part of Britain it was apparently also a Somerset tradition.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, many people in Somerset actually celebrated Christmas on January 6th. “Old Christmas” as it was called originated because, in 1752, legislation decreed that the calendar was changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar and, as a

result, 11 days from 3 to 13 September disappeared and Christmas Day moved back from January 6th to 25th December. In many, particularly rural areas, people protested at this “theft” of these eleven days and demanded that the government “Give us back our 11 days”. It is strange to think that nothing whatsoever happened in British history for 11 days!

It was, apparently, considered wicked by some Somerset folk to work on Old Christmas Day.!” That said, they were not averse to having fun since wassailing traditionally took place on this day and the paper reports that “The custom of wassailing the apple trees is, perhaps, one of the best advertised Somerset and West of England customs --- the whole world knows something about placing toast in the forks of apple trees and pouring some of the best cider about the roots to propitiate the fates and thus lead to a good apple bearing season. Of course, there is singing …. and as the Wassail bowl circled around, the good old folk sang one or other of the wassail songs lustily enough to bring luck to both the trees, the owner and his wife and children [and] in some places guns were fired to ward off the evil spirits.” The reason that many people now wassail on 17 January is, of course because that was the Old Twelfth Night.

Whether you celebrate New Year or Old Christmas, I hope 2021 will be a good one.

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.

NO.1 Fastest Selling Agent in Burnham!

Well, what an interesting year it has been for all, in 20 years of Estate Agency I certainly have never known a year quite like this!

I have been in the Estate Agency world now for a long time now and I have pretty much loved every second of it.. I say pretty much, it’s always hard when you have a horrendous month of sales falling through, which can’t be helped, but savage nonetheless. My first office in Cheddar grew very rapidly and generally has always been a good, strong and consistent office selling properties from Wells to Bath & Bristol and across to Burnham-on-Sea, we regularly agreed sales on properties in Burnham, and quite rapidly, that had been left unsold by other agents so for us we felt that it only seemed a natural form of progression to open up an office there, so here we are now at 5 High Street, Burnham-on-Sea some 16 months settled and growing very quickly!

It has been a tough year getting things off the ground working almost every hour imaginable - days and nights, but also much fun and extremely rewarding. I hear almost daily now “well, we’ve certainly seen a lot of your signs about”… which is nice.

Laurel & Wylde have never had the largest stock of houses, (although one day that would be nice too), and the main reason for this is because we are always running out of stock!

Looking at the exact data of ‘No. of Days on Market’ as in, the number of days (on average) it takes the agents in the Burnham area to sell their properties, (from 26th November 2019 – 26th November 2020) compared with the other agents in Burnham, we have ALWAYS been the No.1 Fastest Selling Agent (in Burnham) since opening. And we are currently selling our properties 51% FASTER! Something we are hugely proud of and something I have always wished from the business.

Similarly in Cheddar, we have consistently been the No.1 Fastest Selling Agent in Cheddar.

You might ask WHY? Well, it’s not a secret, it is 100% down to our marketing, everything nowadays in terms of selling property is 100% down to ‘Your Visual Impact Online’- Not necessarily where you advertise but how you advertise!

Quite simply, the bigger and better your property looks online / the more places your property is advertised / the more toys & tools you have = The more hits you get / the quicker you sell it / the better price you get for it!

At Laurel & Wylde we offer such a huge amount of ‘Toys & Tools’ with absolutely no preferential treatment, so whether you have 1 bedroom flat or a 10 bedroom farmhouse you can still have advertising on over 100 websites, advertising on the four main property portals – Rightmove, Zoopla, Prime Location & On The Market, FREE Premium Listings, FREE Featured Property Listings, FREE drone photography, FREE Aerial Photography, FREE 3D Floor-Plans, FREE Professional Standard Photography, FREE 8-12 Page Brochures, FREE access to the Guild of Property Professionals with Cross-Network Marketing across over 800 uk offices and Fantastic Property Videos.

In my opinion, and it’s only mine, but I also feel that I have the best team I have ever worked with in Estate Agency and that now includes 2 in-house mortgage advisors and a full-time, dedicated, sales progression manager. I have worked with some lovely people over the years but in terms of what we all bring to the party, we are certainly up there, in fact, if Laurel & Wylde did parties…..

The icing on the cake for us is that we have a 0-Day agreement so you are not tied in for any periods of time! Most uk Estate Agents will tie you in with a contract for around 16-20 weeks with a 14-28 day notice period afterwards.

So, in a nut-shell, if you want the best listings and to sell your property in the most sensible timescale then come and say hello.

Froglife are calling for volunteers Pondering the future for 2021? Considering a new year, a new you? Why not make this the year you do your bit whilst kicking off the January blues by becoming a ‘toad patroller’ and saving lives?

Froglife are calling for volunteers who are needed to join Winscombe toad patrol to help carry toads and frogs over busy roads as they make their way back to the ponds in which they were born for the mating and breeding season.

Winscombe patrol have rescued over 5000 toads over the past 8 years and with your help can continue to help ensure the future of the UK’s frogs and toads. Migration can occur at any time between January and April - they generally emerge after damp, mild weather but you should only be needed for a handful of nights during this time. By supporting your local patrol you will also be playing your part in the National ‘Toads on Roads’ campaign co-ordinated by Froglife and supported by ARG UKa national network of volunteers concerned with amphibian and reptile conservation. Overall this year, even during lock-down, Toad Patrollers up and down the country rescued 77,708 toads!

For more information contact your local toad patroller: Joy Trusler email: joytrus@hotmail.co.uk or visit the Froglife website www.froglife.org

Volunteers needed - Somerset Sight

Somerset Sight is a registered charity which has supported people with sight impairment across Somerset since 1919. We received the Queens Award in 2019, the highest accolade that can be awarded for voluntary service in the UK. During lockdown our services have continued to operate within Covid-19 guidelines, we are looking for volunteers in the West Somerset area to visit local people in 2021.

O R P

One of our services is a Volunteer Visiting Service within which local volunteers are matched up with local people with sight impairment. Volunteers visit people regularly for company and sometimes for trips out, visits can be organised around your own life of course.

If you would like to know more about volunteering for Somerset Sight in your local area please contact me on 01643 842972 or email me on claire.packwood@somersetsight.org.uk for more information. Similarly if you have sight impairment and would like to know more about our services please do get in touch with our main office in Taunton on 01823 333818.

Has the time come to upgrade or replace your computer?

There are a great number of risks associated with using out of date or aged computer equipment and those that don’t do something about it face serious issues, including lost data due to equipment failure and for those running older version of Windows (such as Windows 7 or Windows 8) being hacked due to aged, weak computer security. This is because Windows 8 and older are not as secure to run as Windows 10.

Windows 7 is no longer supported by Microsoft which makes it particularly dangerous to use. Machines running older versions of Windows can also struggle to run new software and fail to be compatible with a growing number of common websites.

Ask yourself how old is your computer, as we discover a good number of people forget and become prone to serious risk. The fact is, almost all computers that are 5 years or older should at least have some likely to fail components replaced or possibly the whole computer upgraded. This especially applies when computers are around 7+ years old. Data then needs transferring over from the old computer, which is a delicate process that we advise an engineer should carry out, when possible. If your computer is becoming slow, this can be a sign of incoming data loss too.

Please see our advert below and contact us for more details to discuss any concerns.

RNLI Winscombe & District Branch

The Art Shed

The Branch will start 2021 full of hope for improved opportunities to raise funds to “Save Lives at Sea”.

The first event will be another low-key Pop-Up Sale on Saturday 16th January on Studley’s Forecourt (Opposite the Coop Supermarket) from 9:30am to 12:30pm; as this will be outdoors it will be subject to the weather as well as the Covid 19 Status on the day. The Branch still has a stock of 2021 Diaries & Calendars and stationery that may be purchased directly from either Mary (01934 842075) or Albert (01749 677445); or at the above event. In addition, the “Honesty Box” Plant & Produce Sales Tables in Sandford opposite the St Monica’s Complex and on Jubilee Road Axbridge are still operating; as well as buying items, plants and produce may be left for onward sales at both locations. The Branch has a Committee Meeting on 26th January that will determine the plan for later in the yea.

If you have put on weight over Christmas and New Year it is not too late to join the Branch fun fundraising event that can be done at home and one that will positively benefit anyone who would like to take part. To take part, please contact Tina (01934-842304) or e-mail meejlfh@gmail.com to obtain the pledge form and start shedding those pounds!”

Have you thought about joining an art class? Social distancing is difficult when teaching painting.

By using Zoom we are able to communicate easily.

We have perfected the business of critiquing your work by getting you to photograph and email the picture so we can see it clearly and can then share it on the screen. It happens quickly and easily.

We have some places left in our classes, join us online!

Monday Morning Watercolour Class Wednesday All Day Painting Class (Any medium) Thursday Evening Watercolour Class We begin each session with a short slide show by various artists to illustrate the theme and we also email you some possible subject photographs beforehand. These are intended only as suggestions as you are likely to have your own ideas and/or views to work from.

Ros Cuthbert RWA and David Cuthbert are experienced teachers and professional painters who have exhibited locally and internationally.

The Art Shed Winscombe can be found on FaceBook where you can see work made in our various classes. Join us! We’d love to meet you!
