NEW BUSINESS?

It's so important to...

If you have a story to tell, we'd LOVE to hear from you!

Keep it local!

It is no secret that Britain's once well utilised high street has had many challenges over the years. It's latest hurdle of course, being the Corona virus pandemic. We have all had to endure long periods of time indoors; forced to stay in and away from society, with all non-essential businesses remaining closed and out of bounds. The Internet has been second nature, but perhaps the time has come where we would all like the best of both worlds. Perhaps as restrictions lift, and we as consumers start to spend again, we will choose to be out and about as we once were, shopping in our high streets and towns. After all, it does feel like a treat - an outing and a relief to have our liberty and free choice available to us after months and months of solitude and boredom. In the fresh air once again, eating and drinking in coffee shops and restaurants and meeting up with friends again. We all love our homes, and let's face it, a lot of us still love the convenience of the Internet, but maybe, just maybe, seeing tangible wares and browsing 'round the shops' will be seen as a day out..and it leaves me wondering...has the high street regained its appeal?

We have all come to the realisation that unless we use our high street, it will disappear forever and with it local community spirit and economy. However, supporting small businesses obviously runs a lot deeper than just the high street. Using any small business is supporting our community and allowing us all to thrive.

Creating more jobs and skills in the local area is not only good for the short-term it also allows the next generation to remain and prosper in their birth town and keep the cycle going generation after generation.

Research by local authorities in the UK has shown that for every £1 spent with a small or medium size

business, 63p stays in the local economy. This compares with 40p in every £1 spent with larger businesses. This is down to small businesses spending more of the money it earns on local products and services. This cyclical process safeguards every local economy, bringing prosperity and longevity to its community.

The Express Advertisers wants to play its part in Spreading the Word! Over the coming months we will be bringing you the businesses that have been ingeniously thriving over lockdown, a reminder of the well-established businesses getting back on their feet, new exciting inniatives and a wealth of activity and community spirit that is happening all around us, and can't wait to share it with our readers!

if every adult in the UK spent just

£5 per week in their local

shops and businesses instead of online, at the supermarket or with the huge multi nationals,

it would be worth

£13.5 billion going directly back into our towns!

Which means real jobs... better facilities... a nicer place to live and a more connected society! It makes you think!

CHILD'S PL A Y

It's great to get out and about again, and we all know the importance of time outside in the fresh air and the great outdoors for our mental health! Here's just a few great days out on our doorstep...

W

e all have those memories from childhood: jumping into a stream lake on a hot summer day, intently watching ants on the march or spending hours just laying back and looking at clouds. Whether we realised it or not, those moments in the outdoors helped shaped our views on the world around us. But those kinds of memories are fading fast for many young people today.

The statistics are alarming: in a typical week, only 6% of children ages 9-13 play outside on their own and shockingly, kids 8 to 18 year olds spend an jaw-dropping 30 hours a week using entertainment media!

Getting kids back outside is more important than ever - for their sake and for the future of our planet!

Spending time outdoors at a young age is critical to fostering a healthy

conservation ethic and brings a plethora of avantages, from fitness to wellbeing, confidence to responsibility and not forgetting memories, to name just a few. The past year has changed how we live further, and now is a great time to cement new habits. So if we’re not comfortable with letting our children out to explore the outdoors on their own, then how about we invest in quality outdoor family ‘together’ time?

Come on June weather, do us all a favour and get it together!

For starters, why not use the facilities of our local nature reserves and parks? They offer great insight into a manner of ‘mini beasts and wigglers’.

Draycote Water's 24 acre site

is an ideal place for the family day out! Whether you are planning a walk

around the reservoir, some cycling or spotting some wildlife, (including ducklings and cygnets!), there is lots to do at this great site! The Country Park offers plenty of space for games and picnics, right next door to a fantastic children's play area, that will also appeal to older kids. The five mile tarmac path makes exercise a pleasure even after the inclement we've had! The New Leaf Restaurant is positioned to take the stunning views of the reservoir and is a great place for refreshments and an ice-cream after completing the five mile jaunt!

Draycote Water Kites Hardwick CV23 8AB

Compton Verney With 120 acres

www.express-press.co.uk t:01926 815935

of stunning parkland, adventure playground, woodland to explore, labyrinth and willow tunnels, nature trails and so much more...there's plenty to capture the imagination, stimulate the mind and keep the children happy and interested.

Compton Verney is a firm family favourite and only a short drive away!

• Climb, swing and zip through the air at the Woodland Playground • Bring your own nets and pop by the pond dipping platform • Spot birds on the lake from the bird hide • Build sand castles in sand pits!

• Walk along trails and immerse yourself in the wildlife of the Ice House Coppice, or take a wander around the meadows.

• Swing by the bee hives on the West Lawn • Take your dog and take a stroll around the meadows (only, dogs are not permitted on walks and trails)

In addition, the walks and trails in the parkland are open throughout the year, between February and early December.

There are several routes to discover and explore to find out more about Compton

St Nicholas Park, Warwick

has to be one of the best parks in England! It's position couldn't be more impressive, with beautiful views of Warwick Castle and on the banks of the River Avon, it really does have it all!

With swings, climbing frames, slides and more, the play area is set right next to the open lawns of the Park, so there's lots of room for games and activities both on and off the adventure playground.

Of course, any trip to St Nick's wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Fun Park! With the Tea-Cups, Mini Rollercoaster, Balloon Madness and the Adventure Canoe to name a few. Then, of course, there's the 'all new' 18 hole Adventure Mini Golf; this relatively new addition to the park, is brilliant entertainment for the whole family! When the weather is up to it, (and when it isn't), there's an outdoor

Verney’s wildlife, historic landscape and architectural history.

(You will be within sight of the mansion house for much of the time, so you don’t need to worry about getting lost).

• Let the children get involved with the popular Forest Clubs. Renowned for increasing awareness of the surrounding world, building vocabulary, supports speech development and vocabulary, positive mental health and of course, all having great fun!

Children's Forest Club Sessions... paddling pool, along with paddle boats on the river, (not forgetting my personal favourite...pooh sticks in the stream!), children (and adults!), just love Warwick Park!

The Tea Shop is the ideal place to grab a snack, get a hot meal, ice cream or a nice cup of tea! With indoor and outdoor seating and free wifi, it's a great place to relax and unwind before going off to find more fun!

Early Years' Forest Club - Unders 5's Thursdays 10.30am-12.30pm and 1.30pm - 3.30pm.

Saturday Forest Club Ages 2 - 8 Saturdays, 10.30am - 12.30pm and 1.30pm - 3.30pm £7 per child per session.

Accompanying adults will need a valid Membership Pass or Day Pass.

Tickets must be booked for all attendees online.

Compton Verney Warwickshire, CV35 9HZ T. 01926 645500 As an alternative, and a little known fact is that 'The New Bowling Green' has a pathway from the park's car park and boasts a beautiful beer garden for all the family.

Health First Foot and Gait Clinic explains

THE COST OF...

Cracked Heels

N

ow I know cracked heels may not seem like a big thing as they are so common, but actually they can be a lot more troublesome than maybe you realise. Whilst “weathering” of the heels through wearing open-backed footwear such as sandals in the summer months, is one of the main causes of cracked heels, there are other causes that can indicate or lead to worse problems.

For instance, underlying fungal infection can lead to dryness of the skin and make it more prone to cracking / fissuring. In such circumstances, applying just moisturising cream to the dry skin will actually prolong the problem as the fungus thrives with the additional moisture. Then if not dealt with properly, the fungal infection can spread to other parts of the feet

including the nails where it is a lot more difficult o resolve. In addition there are underlying medical con-

ditions that can lead to cracked / fissured heels. For instance diabetes can lead to autonomic neuropathy where control of sweating is lost and thereby moisture regulation of the skin is impaired. Sometimes this is one of the clues to identifying those who may need testing for diabetes if they haven’t been previously diagnosed.

Whilst the vast majority of heel cracks / fissures only affect the outer layers of the skin (the epidermis), sometimes they can progress to the deeper layers (the dermis) and become dermal fissures. When that occurs they can be painful and bleed. Without the right treatment they can become infected and/or ulcerated which then increases the risk of sepsis.

After 4 years of pain, I was told about Health First in Southam.... after two appointments, the problem was finally solved!

JONATHAN SMALL Lead Podiatrist Health First Foot & Gait Clinic www.healthfirstsoutham.co.uk

Fixing the feet that others can't for over 20 years

Indeed, just this month I had an 87-year old patient in clinic with a 1cm deep painful crack in her heel which had been treated twice by another “chiropodist” with no success. Fortunately, at our clinic, we have lots of tools in our toolbox to help with the variety of foot conditions that present. So after just one treatment the patient was a lot more comfortable, and 10 days later the deep fissure had resolved completely. Take a look on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/healthfirstsoutham) and website blog for the amazing ‘before’ & ‘after’ photos.

blush. aesthetics

So here are the 'costs' relating to cracked heels: Physical costs – As long as the heel cracks / fissures are in the epidermis, then they don’t really incur a physical cost, other than the effort of carrying out selftreatments through the use of suitable products. We recommend regularly using a foot file & urea-based moisturising cream (as long as there is no underlying fungal infection). These are available in a special pack from: www.firstaidforfeet.co.uk/Bargain-Packs/cracked-heelspack. However, if the heel cracks / fissures have gone deeper and causing pain, then they can cause reduced activity or limping which can then have more of a physical effect on fitness and can induce other aches & pains.

If they become infected especially in those with diabetes or poor circulation, then in the worse case scenario they could lead to hospital-admission and even amputation.

Emotional costs – Cracked heels are pretty unsightly so some people avoid exposing their feet for others to see. They become self-conscious of their feet at the beach or when sunbathing, so they avoid these situations. They can also get frustrated at being unable to resolve the cracked heels by themselves, especially if they snag on socks or tights.

Then, if they become painful, there are all the emotions associated with having to cope with that pain with every step taken when walking and running.

Financial costs – The good news is that even the worse cracked heels can be resolved without too much expense, if you get the right treatment for them. However, if you don’t then the cracks can perpetuate for years, needing regular professional treatment just to keep on top of them.

Such ongoing treatment by a Podiatrist or Foot Health Practitioner could cost £30 - £70 every few weeks / months for life. Whereas, using the 1cm deep fissure patient as an example, the fissure was cured at our clinic for £300.

So if you would like to see an experienced foot specialist with any foot-related problem, do get in touch, because we're here to help.

Ever considered adding a

conservatory and a flood of natural light into your home

T

here are many benefits, both psychological and physical, to adding light to your home. Adding a conservatory or orangery to a home's floorplan is a great addition for the the present and future; it is widely reported that homebuyers look for bright, happy, healthy spaces and are willing to pay for the benefits. It is therefore no surprise that improving your home’s natural lighting scheme offers an excellent return, both in terms of you and your family's wellbeing, coupled with investment for the future.

Psychologists report that natural light is great for improving one’s mood.

If you or your family suffer from the winter blues, let the light in and watch the mental and physical energy levels elevate. For many of us, winter can seem endless and gloomy, so it can be hard to be happy or feel motivated in that scenario.

From a health perspective natural light is clean, efficient and sanitary.

Natural light can kill bacteria that is hiding and growing in dark, damp places in the home. People who welcome more light into their home are often surprised by how differently their household feels: • Rooms tend to look and feel bigger • Naturally lit rooms are certainly more inviting and comfortable • Illumination makes everything look clearer, bigger and 'happier'.

UK winters do not have to be gloomy. Summers do not have to be too bright and spring and autumn can be perfect. Plants can grow year round and your family could benefit having home is designed or renovated to increase the amount of natural sunlight that beams in.

Natural sunlight is healthy – Natural lighting will reduce the production of harmful bacteria and organisms that can grow in any house. Sunlight is recognized as a natural disinfectant, (although we're not suggesting it kills Covid-19 of course!).

Just a few of the benefits of sunlight include: • Increase in vitamin B and D, (I think we could all do with a little of this!).

• Sunlight has recognized healing powers • Natural light is terrific for a healthy complexion • Ultraviolet rays in the sun are naturally antiseptic • Sunlight stimulates appetite and improves digestion • Sunlight helps to balance the body’s hormones, boosts your immune system, improves circulation and increases red and white blood cells • Natural light increases endorphins and serotonin giving the ‘feel good factor’ • Daytime sun helps a better at night's sleep.

Orangery Facts • They involve more brickwork.

• They have a strong aspect of part conservatory, part brick extension.

• They offer more privacy due to the lack of glass in comparison to the conservatory.

• They hold a more robust structure.

• They are often used as functional rooms, such as a kitchen or dining room.

• They can be viewed as more practical as they are warmer in the winter thanks to their brickwork.

• They can sometimes involve a flat roof with a multi-paned glazed roof lantern which provides natural light.

• The brick bases extend up to the roof.

Conservatory Facts • They are usually built out of over 80% glass.

• They are often used as extra space as opposed to a whole new room, often as reading rooms or playrooms.

• The only brickwork tends to involve a dwarf wall.

• They have a fully glazed roof which can feature coloured glass, eaves, turrets and gables.

• They are often glazed with a light timber frame for maximum natural light.

• They can be simpler to build than orangeries. * They offer a better view to the garden and sometimes slightly more light depending on the positioning of your property.
