Happy New Year!

I’m not really sure where 2019 went, it was a blink and you missed it scenario! However, 2020 is here. A new decade, a chance to start afresh and see what the future holds. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and enjoyed spending time with friends and family? It always flies by so quickly but the good news is, we’re past the longest day now….so not long until summer!!!

We are still looking for more involvement from you guys! Our community focus feature is available for community groups to send information in about what they do, how people can get involved and what’s happening next etc. It’s for not-for-profit groups and is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the work that you are doing and best of all It’s FREE… so please get in touch!... and on that note – we need some more Distributors! We keep expanding with more planned for next year and we have a few rounds that need backfilling. If you are interested in delivering for us in any of our areas… get in contact with us.

Book Review

Door to Door Pick Up

Margaret Atwood – The Testaments

Reading a sequel can be a bit daunting. Especially when there’s been a 34 year gap between books and the original is as famous and highly regarded as Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale.

But fear not. The Testaments is a superb follow-up. Without giving anything away, it manages to give hope to a story which has seemed unremittingly bleak. And of course great glimpses into the workings of the crooked wood of humanity.

Atwood has said that most of the inspiration for the story has been everything readers wrote to her about the original book, everything that we wanted to know about Gilead, everything that we thought Gilead reflected in the world.

The book seems particularly relevant in this time of Me Too, Fake News and the frenetic pace of our lives and Atwood says the other part of her inspiration is the world we have been living in.

As always she writes beautifully, jumping between three witness accounts which in the end begin to merge into one very satisfying ending.

The questions about Gilead, about its place in the world and how it could exist in our world now make sense.

A worthy Booker prize winner and a really good read.

WHY IS MAKING A WILL IMPORTANT? Did you know that over 60% of adults in the UK die without making a Will.

D.M. Furnishings

5-7 Low Street, Sutton In Ashfield, Notts, NG17 1DH (opp Yorkshire Bank & Costa Coffee - Sutton) Open: Monday - Friday 9.30 - 5.00pm. Saturday 9.00am - 1.00pm. Closed Sunday.

www.dmfurnishings.co.uk

YOUR LOCAL RISE & RECLINE SPECIALISTS ALL our recliners are made to measure to suit your individual need, then made to order within 2 - 6 weeks.

Many people do not realise the need to make a Will; either because they believe they are too young, their estate is too small or they have just “never got around to doing it?”

The main benefits of a Will are: 1.

2.

3.

5 Year Warranty on all recliners, including mechanisms and motors.

You can appoint trusted person(s) to deal with your affairs when you die & take the burden off your loved ones at a very difficult time.

Visit our shop to get a free fitting and try yourself.

You can appoint guardians in your Will for your minor children. If you do not have a Will then it could be in the hands of the Courts to decide whom they live with.

You can decide whom you wish to benefit from your Estate – if you do not have a Will the law will decide who inherits which may mean your loved ones are not taken care of.

A mid-length walk which should take you and your dog around 2½ hours to complete.

There are a couple of roads to walk alongside and cross so please take care. Most of the walk is on paths and trails, so it may be muddy and will require appropriate footwear. And, as always, please follow the countryside code.

JERRY GREEN DOG RESCUE ADOPT A DOG

Name:

Dancer

Age:

2 Yrs 7mths

Gender: Female Breed:

Lurcher

Hello friends, my name is Dancer and I am a long way from home with Santa and his sleigh :( I have been here at Jerry Greens for a while now, and am starting to wonder why no one has come forward to adopt me. I am a loveable, sweet natured girlie with a cheeky side to keep you smiling. I would love to find my forever family in a home with people who will buy me squeaky toys and lots of dog treats for the big day - and maybe even share some of their roast dinner with me! I can live with adults and would prefer to be the only pet for now. I would love a home with company.

To find out everything you need to know about Dancer please give the Notts team a call on 01623 792886.

Before & After UCIP - it’s a hard ‘C’ to ironically make the party sound like the pressure group/political party that helped decide this country’s immediate fate and then......... promptly disappeared to leave us to sort out the mess - Executive Committee recently asked George to ‘get out onto the streets’ and canvass opinion to discover what issues are currently troubling the electorate. After a day pestering shoppers and passers-by’s on Sutton High Street, here are (and this is only the start) his findings.

One married couple, who gave their names as Harold and Mildred, were happy to get a few things off their chest.

“I hate it when, whilst sitting in the theatre minutes before a performance is about to begin, someone turns up and the whole row has to get up, shift bags, contort their body and generally be inconvenienced to accommodate an inconsiderate latecomer” said Mildred.

Harold added that he had the same issue with those attending a rugby union, cricket or other such like sporting event – apart from football - who think that it is socially acceptable to sink half a dozen pints. That would be OK, he maintained, were it not for the fact that during the game they then forcefully brush their way past other spectators who are trying to watch the action, as weak bladders give rise to an overwhelming desire to visit the toilet. To compound matters, they then return with another half dozen pints and repeat the process.

Harold and Mildred felt that if something could be done to abolish these tiresome practices, their lives would be so much richer and they looked imploringly at George hoping that he could come up with an answer. Indeed he has!

Once in power UCIP would introduce a Bill requiring all places of entertainment to operate an airport style boarding pass system. Fifteen minutes before the performance is scheduled to start, pre-boarding would begin and at regular intervals thereafter, those with specific row/ticket numbers would be asked to ‘come forward’ and take their seats. Any punter failing to follow these reasonable instructions would be denied entry until the interval.

We’ve been in touch with Mildred and she is a) happy with the proposal and b) is now a committed UCIP supporter.

As for inconvenience caused by excessive drinking at sporting events, George’s first thought was to insist that clubs enquire at the time of sale of tickets if weak bladders might be an issue and to then allocate seats at the end of a row/aisle accordingly.

Thinking that this might not be a popular measure he came up with a suggestion that, with a bit of self-policing, sporting crowds could probably manage themselves.

As a result when a spectator, not sitting by the aisle, gets up to leave the sporting arena whilst the action is taking place, UCIP government advice would be for every other person on that row to move to his/her right or left as appropriate, and take up the vacant seat. When the ‘offender’ returns, suitably relieved and/or restocked with drink, they would have to sit at the end.

Sorry, no room for a quiz this month as well but, as I’m sure you’ll appreciate, these are very important issues!!

Gardener’s Calendar

Call today on 01773 812266

This can seem like a daunting time of year for us gardeners, but there are things to do at a practical level – and of course you can start reading the plant catalogues to see what to try this year.

Grab hire, domestic and commercial house and hoarder clearance is county wide. Commercial waste solutions also county wide with no contracted obligations.

Outside, remove old hellebore leaves so you can see the new growth and the bobbing flowers as they emerge. You can also prune rose bushes if you haven’t done so already. They’re still dormant so don’t mind the invasion. Cut just above a bud on a slant so rain doesn’t pool on the cut.

If you do venture across grass, try to avoid doing so when it’s frosty as this can scorch and leave brown marks. Lawns can get waterlogged and compacted by rain right now, so if that’s the case, spike them and brush in sharp sand and compost to help the roots stay healthy.

r

Domestic Skip hire is available from Mansfield through to the outskirts of Nottingham city. cit

Watch that pots under eaves or right against the house haven’t dried out or got compacted by rain dropping from roofs. Grit on the surface helps retain moisture and stops clumping.

SKIP HIRE TOP SOIL

We have ADR registered drivers, scrap metals licence, hire and reward for grab and hook loader skip haulage.

Stripped branches of Christmas trees make good support sticks for the growing season or they can be shredded for mulch.

The economic boost that Nottingham Forest’s ground redevelopment plans are clear but will it strengthen their hand when competing to return back to the top of the football pyramid? Here’s our Barry with his thoughts...

Bargeboards No More Painting Cladding No More Ladders Redevelopment of Nottingham Forest’s remember a time when one single Fascias City Rarely can I Guttering Ground took a step closer recently after the person invested such huge sums of money Minor Roof Repairs Soffits club submitted plans to Rushcliffe Borough into the city, and it reinforces Marinakis’, also Council for approval.

There will be various facets to the project which will see the whole ground improved over time and raised to a level not seen at Forest before, and it will transform the city in many ways.

Owner Evangelos Marinakis has earmarked around ÂŁ100m for the project which will start by knocking down the current Main Stand and constructing a brand new, 10,000 seat stand in its place to help the club create a ‘worldclass’ environment which they hope will see Premier League football before too long.

Development of the City Ground has been needed for a couple of decades now, with the most recent addition coming ahead of Euro 96 when the Trent End was built, and the Main Stand, or Peter Taylor Stand as it was renamed a couple of years ago has been untouched since being rebuilt after the 1968 fire.

the owner of Greek giants Olympiacos longterm commitment to both the club and areaFascias which at a time of sweeping cutbacks, can Fascias only be a positive.

Not only will a brand new, state of the art venue attract more supporters, and potentially new arrivals in the dressing room, it will also have a positive impact on local businesses and the employment market. Numerous new jobs will be made available once the new stand, complete with museum, shop and upgraded facilities is finished, there’s also the ones generate in the construction of the stand, much of which will be done off-site given the City Ground’s challenging urban location.

At last it feels like Forest off the pitch are moving in the pitch and 2020 is shaping up to be an exciting year, here’s hoping Sabri Lamouchi’s playing squad can follow suit.
