Cash on the attic! Imagine never having to pay another electricity bill, or even better having your power supplier pay you rather than bill you. This is now a reality for many customers who have installed Solar Electric Panels with most systems achieving between 8 - 10% return on investment after tax. So where is the catch? Well there isn’t one. The incentive scheme is part of legislation to improve the uptake of renewable energy in homes across the country. It is payable for 25 years (from April 2010) and even better it is index linked to the Retail Price Index so your earnings are protected from inflation. Solar panels are relatively easy to fit to most roofs without any disruption to the house or its occupants, they require virtually no maintenance and last for decades, and they don’t even have any complicated controls to manage. The technology is well

tested as panels have been installed across Europe and America in the many millions already. They simply convert daylight into electricity and many homeowners, businesses, schools and farms are now getting in on the act and earning money from the sun. The incentive scheme payments will drop permanently from April 2012 so there is literally no time like the present to act!

The Garden Scene February - bleak and dormant but then a dusting of white as snowdrops unfurl, the sweet citrus scent of Witch Hazel floating on the breeze, a bash of yellow from an early primrose, spring is but a whisper away. Much to do in the garden!

The Ornamental Garden * Now is the time to prune your Wisteria. Prune back to two buds on all laterals/side shoots.

Local Home From Home Pet Care

* Late flowering clematis, prune to 30cm and mulch. * To borders apply a generous layer of mulch after a winter tidy. There are a number of options available, home-made compost, well rotted farm manure, composted bark. * Annual mulching is one of the secrets to successful borders, improving soil structure and retaining moisture, both vital factors to keep plants growing healthily.

* Grass still grows all be it slowly through the winter so if we have a dry week give a light trim with cutting blades raised high to keep your lawn in check. * Prune your roses.

The kitchen garden * Apply a general fertiliser like blood, fish and bone to all fruit trees and bushes. * If your soil allows, towards the end of the month try a short row of early potatoes under horticultural fleece for an early crop. Also, direct in the ground sow early peas, broad beans, beetroot, radish, spinach and spring onion. * On a warm window sill or in a propagator sow peppers, aubergines, cucumbers/ tomatoes. In a glass house, summer cabbage, and lettuce. * Keep feeding the birds they’re your free caterpillar, slug and snail control! Plant of the month. For me a must have plant for the winter garden is the shrub Hamamelis, or which hazel. Flowers are exquisitely delicate papery tassels, from yellow to red and orange with a subtle citrus scent, most flowering now, some in the autumn. Easy to grow, it prefers lighter soils and does well in semi shade or full sun. With no routine pruning needed this is a wonderful plant to brighten up any dreary winter’s day. By Joseph Whitehead

Valentine saw this injustice and didn’t agree with the Emperor’s idea at all; he believed that young lovers should be allowed to marry freely. He united young lovers in secret places, allowing them to be together in love. However, he was soon found out and sent to jail. His jailor, Asterius, is said to have had a blind daughter that Valentine was able to heal due to his saintly powers. He grew very close to Asterius’ daughter whilst awaiting his sentence, and is believed to have fallen in love with her. Therefore just before he was executed on 14th February 27 AD, he left her a note signed ‘From your Valentine’, hence the reason that we send cards bearing this message on Valentine’s Day.Valentine’s Day is associated with love and romance due to the fact that Saint Valentine helped young lovers to be together and allowed their love to blossom.

Saint Valentine’s Day By Megan Templeman

Valentine’s Day is a day that the month of February is renowned for. We all know and love (or not in some cases) the traditions which bring everything pink, romantic and sweet to the world for just one day. But where did it all start, I hear you ask? Apart from the commercialised celebration that we are all used to today, it has another, deeper meaning and origin. The real meaning of Valentines Day is slightly obscured due to the fact that three Saint Valentines are said to have been martyred on the 14th February, so essentially it could be due to any of the three. There are two slightly alternating versions of the Biblical story also, a

10

February 2011 | Email: info@scenepublishing.co.uk

Protestant version and a Catholic version, although the main stories in both are the same. Legend has it that Saint Valentine was a bishop that secretly held marriage ceremonies in about 270 AD because the emperor Claudius II had banned them. The Emperor needed soldiers for his army, and believed that married men were less likely to want to become a soldier because they would want to stay with their wives rather than fight; he thought that married young men were weak, and he needed strong men to fight for him.

Although other stories do exist and this could simply just be a myth, I think this is most believable, and a nice way to think of Valentine’s Day this February. So now you know, and when you write your Valentine’s card this year you will no longer be left wondering how it all came about. Stapleford Park promotes David Ellams to Head Chef role David Ellams, aged 30, has been promoted to the position of Head Chef at Stapleford Park, nr Melton Mowbray, as it moves into a new dining era.

The iconic Norwegian coastline has been the home of Hurtigruten since 1893. In 2011, the hurtig ruten (literally meaning “fast route”) will continue to meet with the beautiful fjords, no fewer than 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the North Cape, the former Viking capital of Norway with its own 12th Century gothic cathedral, the Art Nouveau port of Ålesund, the idyllic Lofoten & Vesterålen Islands and so much more. At any time of year, our informal, friendly atmosphere onboard will allow you to relax while our fleet of 11 comfortable ships takes you on the voyage of a lifetime – a voyage through the calm, sheltered waters of Norway’s shores, taking you closer to the country’s people, landscape and wildlife.

Q

When is the best time to travel? Most difficult question to answer, the most popular time is the summer, this is the time of the Land of the Midnight Sun, the sunshine baths the shores, fjords and mountains in wonderful colours, reds, pinks and yellows and in this mix the greens of the pine and hardwoods. Many prefer the Autumn, this is the season of different colours russet, ochre and rouge creep into the leaves. Snow starts to appear on the highest peaks. Winter is the time I love, to see the snow covered landscape just takes your breath away. Depending on when you travel and a fair bit of luck you may get to see the Northern Lights unfortunately not guaranteed. Spring is when warmth starts to return to Norwegian shores. This is when the buds start to appear and the colours slowly return, a time to enjoy the transition away from winter.

Q

What are the ships like? Life on board is about relaxation, there may be some entertainment but nothing organised the whole idea of these cruises is to get close to the unique environment of Norway, make new friends, do not forget local Norwegians use these ships a chance to immerse in the community and enjoy the scenery. Depending on the voyage there will be shore excursions available. Cabins are of a high standard

and the cuisine is made from fresh and fine seasonal local produce. Please remember these are working ships but that in no way affects your enjoyment.

Q

Why Norway? If you are looking for wild all night parties Norway may not be for you. If you are looking for awe inspiring scenery, wildlife and colourful fauna you will not get better, the air is so clean and pure it brings a sparkle to your face. Norway regularly scores at the top of the National Geographic Traveler’s Index of Destination Stewardship.

Q

Costs? Yes Norway is more expensive than the UK, alcohol particularly so but remember your food is included and this is not a trip to sit in a bar drinking, it is a chance to take in clean air, views, wildlife and nature at its best

Freya North’s Top 4 Romantic Reads for Valentines

Author of 10 bestselling novels and winner of the Romantic Novel of the Year, Freya’s 11th novel, Chances, is published on March 31st

Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte is undoubtedly the most devastatingly romantic book ever written (Jane and Rochester literally go through fire for love). I read somewhere that you won’t understand true love until you’ve read this book! For my Valentine’s selection, I have chosen personal favourites which have plenty to say about That Thing Called Love. For me, a great love story is one in which we recognize our own hopes and dreams – and also the trials and tribulations we may have experienced. But all good romances must have that fairy-tale element which takes us out of the drudge of our everyday lives and puts into print the happy-everafters to which we all aspire… Jessica Adams | I’m A Believer | Black Swan £6.99 This is a book about love after death and life after love. It is jaunty and quite comic – but also very sensitively told. Mark Buckle, a scientist and bit of a sceptic, loses his girlfriend Catherine in a car crash. Soon enough, and initially much to his disbelief and displeasure, she ‘appears’ to him. Catherine becomes instrumental in helping Mark heal, move on and continue with his life. Have tissues close to hand! If you love the movie “Ghost”, you’ll adore this book. Maggie O Farrell | After You’d Gone Headline Review £7.99 How I sobbed in this book. Alice is such a lovely character; I wanted to be her, to befriend her, to mother her. And I fell a little bit in love with John. This novel is beautifully written. The intensity and emotional punch of Alice and John’s love story is that it is told in retrospect – and though their tale is compellingly romantic, for the reader there is this constant, dreadful inkling of the tragedy they’ve experienced.

18

February 2011 | Email: info@scenepublishing.co.uk

John O Farrell The Best A Man Can Get Black Swan £8.99

With O’Farrell’s trademark sardonic wit and observational humour, this book is essentially a reflective and tender tale of one man shaking off the last vestiges of being blokish to become a good husband and father. Michael has a perfectly nice home, child, baby and pregnant wife but of course doesn’t realise their worth until he’s about to lose them. Initially, “just being tucked up warm and cosy” is what Michael resists most. By the end of the novel, he embraces it as the best thing known to man.

Mary Wesley Not that Sort of Girl Vintage £8.99 This book inspired me to write. I love the way that Mary Wesley marries gentle romance with quite surprising sexiness in all her novels – but here in particular. Rose marries Ned and is extremely loyal to him whilst also carrying on a rampant relationship with the rather louche but wonderful Milo. And, being a tough cookie, she manages to keep this happy balance for over half a century. This novel is both feisty yet romantic at heart – it is not about duplicity, it is about dual constancy.

World Book Day 2011 World Book Day was designated by UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organiza tion) as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and is marked in over 100 countries around the globe. The origins of the day we now celebrate in the UK and Ireland come from Catalonia where roses and books were given as gifts to loved ones on St. George’s Day – a tradition started over 90 years ago. Most other countries hold World Book Day on 23rd April every year , but the initiative is so well established in schools in the UK and so coincides with term time to really make the most of the opportunity to celebrate books and reading. World Book Day is a partnership of publishers, booksellers and interested parties who work together to promote books and reading for the personal enrichment and enjoyment of all. Thanks to the generosity of National Book Tokens Ltd and numerous participating booksellers, school children are entitled to receive a World Book Day £1 Book. The Book Token can typically be exchanged for one of the six specially published World Book Day £1 Books (where stocked and while stocks last), or is redeemable against any book or audio book of your choice at a participating bookshop or book club. World Book Day 2011 in the UK and Ireland will take place on Thursday 3rd March.

The Scene - Poetry

Fiddler Brown So please raise your glass to the great Fiddler Brown, who got them all dancing in old Oakham town. Real name Harry Francis, you pulled out your bow and played jigs, reels and polkas in a stomping live show. With your dog at your feet you played music so sweet, while the crowds gathered round to applaud. Then they all started dancing (as if in a trance) when they heard that first violin chord.

A native of Long Row, you’d been to the wars and even met Nurse Nightingale. You’d seen some bad sights but on most summer nights you’d be game for a folk tune and ale. “I’m as dry as a bone”, you would loudly intone as the evening word on without booze. “Have another drinker, Fiddler” you’d say to yourself, “Well , you know I don’t minds if I doos!”

Any when you dropped dead, the sad townsfolk all said: “There’s a man we respect, a person we held very dear”. So they turned out in droves and thronged Oakham’s small roads to catch just a glimpse of your bier. Lord Ranksborough himself ordered bugler and band, with black carriage and six horses too. And so to your rest – with your talent thrice blessed and your old fiddle still playing Adieu.

Subnote to poem Harry Francis Brown (1828 – 1910) was better known as ‘Fiddler’ Brown, playing his violin whenever asked. He lived in Long Row in Oakham and fought in the Crimean war, later nursed by Florence Nightingale.

The Book ‘Rutland Roundabout’ is written by Rutland resident Brian Martin. Brian’s background in journalism has include the Leicester Mercury, Rutland Times and Stamford Mercury. Available in Walkers bookshops in both Stamford and Oakham, in addition to major outlets in Uppingham and several village shops, the book features personal poetry reflecting sometimes on the anomalies of modern life.

Honeymooners have long found the Caribbean the perfect destination for them, mixing romance and beautiful beaches with activity. The islands also continue to grow in popularity with those seeking an idyllic venue where they can tie the knot with a quality wedding in the Caribbean (with the honeymoon obviously included) often working out to be far cheaper than a UK wedding. Accommodation options are also varied across the islands with some islands offering more sophistication than others. The main / larger islands in the Caribbean, such as Barbados, St Lucia, Jamaica and Antigua, provide the whole spectrum of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets. Choose from world-class resorts offering a whole host of activities, boutique hotels perfect for romance, family orientated resorts with kid’s clubs etc, exclusive bolt-holes and self-catered luxury villas (although chefs can be supplied if required!!) Many of the resorts offer the opportunity to go “all-inclusive” which helps with budgeting, whilst some are simply on a bed & breakfast basis to allow for exploration of the islands cuisine.

The Caribbean – Idyllic gems in the sun!!

The Caribbean is an archipelago of more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs, and cays, scattered like bright, sun-drenched jewels in the Caribbean Sea.

and the Bahamas. You can generally see neighbouring islands over the sea from your own. However, each Caribbean Island has its own individual history, culture and flavour.

Clichés about the Caribbean abound, and they are all true. These islands really are picture perfect with palm-backed white beaches, crystal clear azure waters and year round sunshine. What’s more, the people are friendly and welcoming and the pace of life is laidback and relaxed. And, whether your heaven is five-star nothing with ice in a deckchair, full-on adventure in the jungle or somewhere in between, you’re looking at the right destination.

There are destinations to suit couples, groups and families and there is plenty to do, from trying out water sports to relaxing on beaches, and from climbing volcanic peaks to wildlife watching in the jungle. Some islands reveal French influence, others Latin, Dutch or English. Want lively and well developed sophistication? Or perhaps you would rather be immersed in a strong, traditional culture of music and dance? Whether you want sport, sailing, nature, scuba diving, culture, lush mountains, amazing wildlife or simply a pristine beach, you’ll find it in the Caribbean sunshine.

The Caribbean Islands are scattered in volcanic arcs (island chains): the Greater Antilles, Lesser Antilles (including the Leeward Antilles)

A recent research study produced by four private podiatry practices, under the control of the University of Southampton, evaluated the clinical use of medical grade tissue adhesive (Liquiheel™) for the treatment and management of dry heel fissures.

The Digital Switchover and what it may mean for you… The way you watch your favourite TV programmes is changing. The government will turn off the traditional analogue TV signal, region by region, between 2008 and 2012, to allow all TV services to go digital. Traditional analogue is where you can only receive BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and possibly Channel 5. If you receive Anglia News then you are in the ‘Anglian Region’ and the analogue transmitter will be switched off in April 2011. If you receive Central News, then you are in the ‘Central Region’ which will be switched off in May 2011. If you live in north Lincolnshire you may receive Yorkshire television and this will be switched off in July 2011. Any TV that is not converted to receive digital when the digital switchover happens will no longer be able to receive TV programmes. I can’t get Freeview at the moment, what does the digital switchover mean for me? Almost everyone will get Freeview. By switching off the old analogue signal, the power for digital signals can be increased; so all households that can get analogue will be able to get digital. If I don’t do anything, what will happen? If you do not have digital TV when your area switches over, you won’t be able to watch TV.You must make sure every TV, including those in bedrooms or the kitchen, is connected to a set top box or replaced with a TV that has a digital tuner. What features does digital TV offer for those with sight and hearing problems? Some digital boxes have special access features such as subtitles, signing and audio description for people with sight or hearing problems. For more information you can contact the RNIB on 0845 766 9999 or the RNID on 0808 808 0123.

Will switching to digital affect my TV licence? No, the TV licensing requirements for digital television are the same as for analogue; you will continue to pay it as before. What if I live in a block of flats? If you share an aerial then this may need to be converted to receive digital television, but this is the responsibility of your letting agent or landlord. Will analogue radio be affected by digital switchover? The analogue radio service is unaffected by the digital TV switchover. But everyone with a television will be able to benefit from digital radio which they can listen to through their television set. I have a HD TV; will I be ready for digital? HDTV provides a sharper screen image than standard definition pictures. An HD-ready TV does not necessarily include an integrated digital TV and vice versa, so look for the ‘digital tick’ logo.

I would like to go digital so what do I do now? The “Switchover” process may generate opportunities for doorstep crime. This can include bogus workmen, unsolicited sales call, rogue tradesmen, mis-selling, as well as distraction burglary methods such as “I need to tune your television” or “your aerial won’t work”. Digital UK has included crime prevention messages in all of their publicity, which includes stating that no-one representing their company will call on a householder without an appointment so please be vigilant and do not become a victim.

I’ve heard about various government schemes to help people avoid repossession. I’m confused about what they are and how they work. Can you explain?

You’re right, there are several government schemes to help make sure that facing mortgage problems needn’t mean losing your home. If you’re struggling to pay your mortgage, you may be able to get help from Homeowners Mortgage Support (HMS). This is a government scheme which could allow you to put off paying some of your monthly mortgage payments for up to two years. It’s aimed at people who’ve had a temporary loss of income such as a cut in working hours or wages, or who have lost their job. If you’re not working because you’ve lost your job, you’re ill, disabled or retired, you may be able to get help towards paying the interest on your mortgage. This is known as Support for Mortgage Interest (SMI). The government’s mortgage rescue scheme is designed to help vulnerable homeowners at risk of repossession stay in their home. This may apply to you if you are at risk of being made homeless in the near future because of repossession by your mortgage lender, your household income is less than £60,000, and you have children living at home, or you are elderly or disabled.

Whether you’re looking for sightseeing, scenery, coast, country or city, you’ll find Shaws Coaches offer a great choice of holidays and short breaks – all including their hugely popular ‘Door-2-Door’ Service, from Stamford, Oakham, Uppingham and most of the surrounding towns and villages! The local, family-owned firm’s new 2011 brochure features a tempting array of tours throughout the UK – where you’ll find some of the best scenery in the world - and a handpicked collection of European holidays, including an exciting new ‘Behind the Iron Curtain’ circular tour taking in Berlin, Krakow and Dresden! Other destinations currently on offer include the charming Isles of Scilly, the magical Hebrides, Jersey, Lake Garda, the Austrian Tyrol, an all-new Grand Irish Tour and a trip to the superb German National Garden Show at Koblenz. With destinations throughout the UK and Europe, covering everything from city breaks to scenic tours and seaside holidays to shopping weekends, Shaws can offer a holiday to suit everyone. And with just one call, you have your travel, accommodation and itinerary all taken care of - all you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy your holiday! The firm also offers an attractive selection of days out, including a great selection of ‘London theatre trips from just £45 pp! Ring 01778 342224 or e-mail enquiries@shawscoaches.co.uk to receive a free copy of Shaws new 2011 holiday and day tour brochures.

In addition to these schemes, new rules (known as the Pre-Action Protocol) are in place to try and ensure that repossession is only ever a last resort. The rules say your mortgage lender must treat you fairly and give you a reasonable chance to make arrangements to pay off the arrears. They must consider any reasonable request from you to change when or how you pay. They should not start court action while you are trying to come to an agreement, and only ever start court action as a last resort, if all other attempts to collect the arrears have got nowhere. If you do face a repossession court hearing, you should have access to support from a free court desk advisor providing confidential, expert and independent advice. In the vast majority of cases where people attend court and are helped by the Court Desk Advice scheme, immediate repossession is avoided and they are able to remain in their own home after the court hearing. More information on all the schemes can be found at mortgagehelp.direct.gov.uk or go to www.adviceguide.org.uk for advice and contact details of your nearest CAB.

PRESIDENTS NIGHT 2011 CHARITY BRASS BAND CONCERT

All weather training begins.... As President of the Rotary Club of Uppingham for the year 2010/2011, Phil Marston is setting out on his challenge of his first ever sponsored charity walk on 6 March 2011. Phil usually marshal’s or helps to plan such events, but this year has elected to ‘walk the walk’ which will be around the Eyebrook reservoir in Rutland which was used for the Dambusters training during the Second World War. The distance is just less than five miles and Phil is determined to complete it in spite of a dodgy back problem and age related problems. Fundraising Phil is aiming to set a record for the amount collected by the President of the club on this annual event and would appreciate help in aid of two charities. Age Concern Leicestershire & Rutland – a charity that Phil’s wife Joyce has worked for as a volunteer for over four

years. The Rotary Club of Uppingham’s International Project for this year – to buy Autoclaves (sterilising equipment) for an eye clinic that has been set up in Ghana by the Rotary Club of Madras, India. All monies collected will go directly to these Charities with no administration costs involved.Please help by donating online (all currencies) at: www.mycharitypage.com/PhilMarston/ just select DONATE NOW

Purple for Rotary Day 2011 Rotary Day 2011 is February 23 and the day is specifically assigned to combine the talents and efforts of every Rotary club, with the main aims being to ; • Raise £1m for Polio Eradication through the Thanks for Life initiative. • To maximize public awareness of the Rotary Polio campaign and Rotary in general. • To increase Rotary membership. Rotary’s big aim is to eradicate polio worldwide, and RIBI (Rotary International of Great Britain and Ireland) has worked with The Eden Project, the International Flower Bulb Centre, the National Trust and Learning through Landscapes to plant purple crocus bulbs from the beginning of October last year so they will be in flower for Rotary Day. These Purple Flowers represent the colour of ink dabbed on a child’s little finger to indicate they have been immunised against polio. This terrible affliction is now endemic in only four countries in the world: Nigeria, Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.
