UK WIDE DEMENTIA FRIENDLY RADIO SERVICE
Nursing Care • Residential Care • Dementia Care • Long-term Care • Respite Care • Day Care
Launched at Milford Care’s Spencer Grove Care Home May 20th – the start of National Dementia Action Week – saw the launch of RADIO REMINISCE, a Derbyshire-based venture which is set to become a nationally known and highly cherished service for those living with dementia. The service is available at radioreminisce.com Radio Reminisce is a subscription-based online radio service for the older generation, the care sector and beyond. It provides a live 24/7 music stream from the home page, spanning songs from the 1940s through to the 1970s. and a set of hour-long programmes called On the Wireless presented by former BBC Local Radio and Saga Radio presenter Ashley Franklin - which mixes music and memories for every year from 1945 to 1965. In each show, Ashley plays the popular songs of a particular year and recounts the life and times of that year. As Ashley explains: ‘I reminisce about the music and the artists but also about radio, television, cinema, family life, food, drink, fashion, holidays, hobbies and sport. These are light, warm, entertaining programmes which we hope will help stimulate minds and bring joy, comfort and pleasure to listeners’ lives.’
(L to R) Pierre Falleth, Director & Business Manager of Milford Care; Ashley Franklin of Radio Reminisce; Pauline Latham, MP for Mid Derbyshire; Kara Gratton, Care & Development Manager of Milford Care; James Oldrini of Radio Reminisce
Spencer Grove’s resident Mavis having a listen to the new radio platform
Also available to the subscriber are quizzes tailored to seniors, chair yoga and ‘Songs of Praise’ style programmes for people who cannot get to church. Radio Reminisce was founded by music publisher James Oldrini. As he reveals: ‘I’ve always been an avid radio listener and recognise that whatever your age, music is therapy for us all... …research into music and how it can really help stimulate memory in people living with dementia when nothing else can.’ James and Ashley trialled a few Radio Reminisce programmes at Milford Care, which operates five homes across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
Rated GOOD by CQC
RATED & REPORTED: 2019 There’s nothing like being recognised for the great work we do. But don’t just take our word for it, why not book a visit and find out why the Care Quality Commission rated us GOOD for yourself.
The residents’ responsive was very favourable. ‘At last: some music for us’ said one resident. ‘We are especially reaching out to the 850,000 people in this country who are living with dementia, specifically those with early on-set dementia’ explains Ashley. ‘In a wider sense, we are aiming Radio Reminisce at the 70-plusses because they are the disenfranchised music radio listeners of this nation. There are nearly 12 million of them and it’s scandalous that there isn’t a radio service for them.’

City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert
This summer’s big beach book might just be City of Girls, the latest from Elizabeth Gilbert, who’s best known for writing Eat, Pray, Love - the best-selling book (and later film) people either loved or hated. City of Girls is a piece of wonderful escapism – and there’s not a lot of that about at the moment – following the fortunes of Ivy League college drop-out Vivian Morris in 1940s New York. Banished by her parents from her wealthy lifestyle, Vivian plunges headlong into a life of streetwise dames, vaudeville theatre, sex and throwing off the shackles of convention. Making her living by sewing costumes for the gorgeous girls who perform at her Aunt Lily’s run-down Manhattan revue theatre, she abandons her straitlaced upbringing and embraces her new life and deals with the repercussions which inevitably follow.
Mercure Hotel, Haydock inc tickets to the flower show (Sun 18th - Mon 19th Aug)
£120
Elizabeth Gilbert says she wanted the book to be light and bright and crisp and fun like a champagne cocktail. It’s certainly that. The things which could bring Vivian to the floor aren’t allowed to. At some point in a woman’s life, the book explains, she just gets tired of being ashamed all the time. After that, she is free to become whoever she truly is. It’s a wise and celebratory story full of hope and the joys of living life to the full.

How Renshaw Mortgage Solutions saved me money on my mortgage I think by now you all know I like to test out as many of our advertisers as possible to make sure they deliver the best service to our readers. So, when Andy Renshaw of Renshaw Mortgage Solutions offered to review my mortgage, I thought ‘why not’. Now I’ll be honest. I like to think I’m pretty savvy when it comes to most things financial. I switch my insurance nearly every year and I’m always on the prowl for a saving on my gas, electric or telephone bill. However, I’ve been on my current mortgage for 11 years, mostly because I believed I couldn’t get a better rate. So, I was VERY pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong when Andy found a new deal that will save me nearly £50 a month!

Mortgages can be complicated, with so many things to think about. Whether it’s a tracker, variable or fixed, interest only or capital repayment, how long a term, what fees are involved… the list goes on. So, it really helps to have someone on your side who understands all of this and can navigate their way to the best deal. I can whole heartedly recommend Renshaw Mortgage Solutions to our readers. So, if you need a new mortgage or just want to find out if they can save you money, why not give them a try?

Rambles with RafFa lake and
We had a new guest on this month’s route. Bailey, our latest foster dog joined Rafa, Flake and the humans and gave this walk a big paws up! Thanks again to David from JH Legal who has found a really pleasant, walk. David ventures far and wide to find the best walks for the magazine but it’s nice to bring you one a little closer to home this month – enjoy! We start out walk on the edge on an industrial estate.
3. Follow this path for some distance and keep on the main track as it bears sharp left and begins to climb more steeply. Then bear sharp right and then again to the left to climb to the top of the hill. At the top of the hill continue straight ahead with a fence on your right and the motorway over to the left. Keep to the path eventually bearing to the right and moving away from the motorway and after some distance reaching a T junction with a track and a fence directly in front of you. Turn left and downhill and then bear right to follow the track. 4. Just prior to reaching a large metal gate on your left, keep an eye out for a left turn to go down a short steep hill through a metal width restrictor and onto a road. Cross the road and turn left. After a short distance turn right onto a sign posted bridleway and lane going uphill. (Cliff Lane.) 5. Walk along the lane going uphill for some distance passing a farm on your right and a house on your left. At a T junction of lanes turn right and then upon reaching a metal gate in front of you, follow the lane around to the left. Continue straight ahead keeping to the left of a large metal gate. At this point the lane narrows to a footpath and begins to drop downhill.
Not the most elegant location but great for parking! And we are soon heading out east into the scenic countryside that lies between Pinxton and Kirkby-in-Ashfield. The route weaves a figure of eight to loop back round, making the most of the paths and tracks to create a nice, simple route that, hopefully, takes you somewhere new.
4-mile circular walk from Pinxton
A shorter walk which should take you and your dog around 2½ hours to complete. Be aware, there may also be cows and people riding trail bikes on this route. There are a couple of roads so please take care. Most of the walk is on paths and trails but please wear appropriate footwear and please follow the countryside code.

At the far side of this field pass through a metal swing gate, pass a marker post on your left and then continue downhill to cross a field. At the bottom of the hill pass through a metal swing gate adjacent to a large metal gate and then continue straight ahead along a footpath going through some trees. After passing a footpath sign nailed to a tree you will shortly exit the trees and then keep straight ahead along the edge of a field with a hedge on your left. 12. After some distance and prior to reaching the far side of the field head diagonal right to cut the corner of the field and cross over a footbridge. After the bridge continue diagonal right to cross another field. At the far side join a tarmac path and follow the path to pass beneath the motorway, then continue along the footpath until reaching a road. 13. Cross the road diagonal right and continue along another marked footpath. Continue along this path until reaching a road. Turn left along the road and continue along the road for some distance until reaching ‘Plymouth Avenue’ on your right and back to the start.

Dreams can come true We can't magic up a unicorn for you but we could help turn your dreams of holidays in retirement and stress free financial living in your later life in to a reality. In our experience never has a saying rung more true than fail to prepare, prepare to fail than when it's applied to financial planning. Yes, we admit the prospect of talking all things money may be daunting but it doesn't need to be. The process is really simple and starts with a telephone call. We can arrange a meeting during ry which we'll help you identify your dreams and aspirations and how we can help them become real. When we first meet with clients we often hear phrases like 'I haven't got the money to do that', 'I'm not rich enough to consider this' and 'I know I've got some pensions but don't really know how much I'll get when I retire'. First of all, you don't need to have a windfall of ÂŁ500k to be able to plan for a more secure financial future.
.:
YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO SET ANOTHER GOAL OR TO DREAM A NEW DREAM.
Financial planning is just as important regardless of how much you earn as we all have plans we'd like to realise in the future and those plans are specific to each individual and their situation. Being able to have a clear view of how much your various pensions, if you have more than one, will bring in each month in retirement will help you ascertain whether you need to save more for your future. 28
The subject of finance isn't the most glamourous we have to admit; elements can actually be quite dull and mundane but they don't need to be. As soon as you start bringing your own dreams and aspirations in to the conversation you'll be amazed at how you can turn them in to your financial goals. Setting goals will help you achieve the retirement you're looking for; whether that be long, luxurious holidays or the nice sports car you've always dreamed of owning.
C.S.LEWIS
Why not start working on your dreams now and give the team at Hampshire Hill a call? You may be surprised at how easy turning dreams in to reality could turn out to be; that long holiday on a sunny beach abroad may be closer than you realise.
''Most impossible goals can be met simply by breaking them down into bite sized pieces, writing them down, believing them and then going full speed ahead as if they were routine". Richard Hampshire

Mike’us sings M
This might be the most controversial suggestion our George has had to hear so far. And I’m not sure the young man has thought it through… Now just how old is the Queen again?
PLUMBING, HEATING & GAS SERVICE
George is back and fighting fit, but......
Whilst his wife was in Tesco’s shopping, George was out on the streets of Alfreton again the other day, speaking to people to canvass local views on how to make this a better world
Whilst he didn’t elaborate on what method would be used, or indeed on which Government department would be responsible for monitoring this initiative, he did outline some of the benefits.
Almost all were pleased to see him up and about again and were glad of the chance to ‘chew the cud’ as they discussed a wide range of issues.
•
Reduction in traffic with fewer motability scooters clogging the pavements
•
The chance to arrange communal funerals when a number of people are approaching 85 in a particular area at any given point in time and, as a result.............
•
......the ability to negotiate good discounts from Funeral Directors.
•
A reduction in immigration figures as there will be less requirement to ‘import’ foreign nationals to look after our elderly citizens.
•
A national surplus of zimmer frames which can then be sent to third world developing countries.
One of the key concerns was the suggestion that benefits, currently available to people over a certain age, might be withdrawn in the future. Free prescriptions, bus passes, free TV licences for the over 75’s, Winter Fuel Allowances (as well as discounted haircuts!) were just some of the so called ‘perks’ that may soon no longer be available. The general view was that it would be unfair to ’all those who’ve worked hard and paid into the system all their lives’ if they were to lose these ‘rewards’. A young chap, bearing a tattoo declaring ‘I love Grandma’ on his neck, had overheard this heated debate and came over to express his views. “If I was Prime Minister,” he said, “I’d let older folks keep all of these perks.....but on one condition. I’d introduce compulsory euthanasia at age 85. That way, the younger generation would know that those who’d had a long life – and let’s face it 85 is a good age – would not be around for an indefinite period. Families and friends could make plans in advance, sure in the knowledge that those close to them would be ‘sadly departed’ on a definite date.”
He carried on with a few more suggestions, and whilst it would be wrong to say that the crowd, now gathered, warmly embraced his views, they listened politely. At least that was the case until he said that a major part of his proposal would be the Queen sending all of her citizens a card on their 84th birthday. In addition to congratulating them on reaching that milestone, there would be an accompanying note reminding them that, as at best they’d got twelve months left, she sincerely hoped they’d make the most of this time.

Gardener’s Calendar
Good neighbours are a wonderful asset for any gardener at holiday time but if you’re going away for a few days and haven’t got anyone to do the honours with your houseplants, there are a couple of temporary solutions. One is to cover your plant with a clear plastic bag and seal it, making sure the plastic doesn’t touch the plant (use canes) Water vapour given off by the plant will be collected and reabsorbed to stop it drying out. This will only work for a few days however.

The second is to use a bit of capillary matting. Insert one end in a bowl of water and the other into the compost of your plant, or stand the plant on the mat and let it gently drink.

Most of July in the garden should be spent sitting with a cup of tea or a glass of something cool. You’ve done the hard work and now it’s time to enjoy.

But do remember to keep deadheading to keep the flowers coming – particularly sweet peas. And after perennials such as delphiniums have flowered, cut right down to the ground and you may be rewarded with another flowering later in the summer.

Use rainwater from a butt to top up ponds. Tap water will encourage the growth of algae. If you do get algae and weeds, twirl them round a stick and leave the remains on the side of the pond to allow wildlife to crawl out and back into the water.

COOPER’S CORNER The way we watch sport has changed. TV money can improve things but at what cost to the viewer and the sport itself. Here’s our Barry with his thoughts… Sports broadcasting has a dilemma. Continue to chase the money and ensure a healthy, prosperous retirement for the middle-aged white men in suits who cut the deals, or change the direction and give it to the masses which in turn may help with participation and overall interest. Take women’s football. The World Cup in France this summer has been given big billing from the BBC, televising games in primetime slots on BBC One to ensure a bigger audience, well, that was the hope. And early signs are good. England’s opening game against Scotland in Nice attracted a peak audience of 6m, with an average of 4.6m – that’s pretty impressive, and it garnered 37.8 percent of the audience share available which in turn made it the most watched women’s game ever. Granted, it was the first game of a World Cup between two big rivals for a tournament which has been given big billing. But it does go to show the power of broadcasting on terrestrial television. Compare that to the 1.236m that watched the men’s dead rubber Nations League game with Switzerland on sky, and you can see the difference – the power of terrestrial. While companies like Sky and BT pay the big money for coverage, they will never, ever be able to reach the audiences that the likes of the BBC and ITV can. That creates a problem. Take cricket for example, Sky’s money has enabled the game to grow, for stadiums and training facilities to be improved and players to earn more cash. The negative of that is that less people will watch the game and its exposure to the nation is hugely reduced, which in turn can impact on participation numbers and the grassroots of the game. During the Cricket World Cup which has been running alongside the women’s football World
Cup, England’s men’s matches on Sky have been attracting an average of 550,000 viewers, despite cricket being seen as the summer sport in this country, and the tournament being held on these shores. Remember the Ashes in 2005? Dubbed the greatest Test series ever as England beat Australia, it was showcased on terrestrial television and rarely, if ever, have audiences been greater. The nation loved it, cricket was on everybody’s screens, even those who cared not for it before. Now, you won’t get Ashes fever quite like that anymore with the home series broadcast on Sky and the visit Down Under on BT Sport. Cricket had the momentum and overnight it was lost. The ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) have come up with a new competition called The Hundred, in a bid to entice new audiences to the game and have agreed to broadcast it on the BBC which in truth, is folly. BBC bosses, who have over the years opted against covering sport live, losing out to satellite channels, seem to be trying harder to get events back on their network because we’re arriving at a cross-roads. Such is the sheer amount of pay television available to the public, it’s becoming something of a saturated minefield with costs spiralling out of control. It cannot be sustained. The average fan cannot afford a subscription for Sky, BT, Netflix, Amazon etc etc. It just isn’t palatable and quite frankly, is absurd. The World Cup for women has been a huge success for the BBC and more importantly, for the growth of an emerging game, the question is, how does it build on that success? And is there a future for more domestic top-level sport on the likes of BBC, Channel 4, Five and ITV? One sincerely hopes so.
