Now is the time to plan your garden for next year. Write a list of ideas and work out a budget for items to purchase. Have a go at designing small projects, such as making a bird box, bird stand, think of areas where Garden Plan for 2016 the garden needs a small makeover, and plan to 1. Pond placea shrub, flowering tree, or group of perennials. 2. Wildlife 3. Shrubs Think of a contrasting colour scheme, (great inspiration can come from the internet), maybe have an area where you can plant perfumed plants to enjoy in the summer. Some people would love to plant vegetables, but not sure how or when, again the internet may have the ideas, or chat with your local garden centre (on days when they’re not too busy). A visit to the libary can be useful searching through the books and taking them home. On a decent day you may be able to visit your local allotment and have a chat with the experienced gardeners. People can get carried away with ideas, so it’s advisable to write everything down, even your plant pot arrangements will look impressive with a little thought beforehand. Wildlife in the garden is a real treat, think about encouraging wildlife by firstly planting plenty of flowers throughout the year which help provide nectar,pollen and shelter for bugs, which provide food for birds and beasts. Trees, shrubs and climbers may take a few years before they mature, but they will eventually become places for wildlife to shelter, breed and feed. If you’ve got a balcony or small garden, you can still encourage wildlife with a mix of pot-grown shrubs, climbers and dwarf trees. What you plant really depends on the amount of space you have, but if they produce flowers and fruit or berries, you can’t go far wrong. A few wildlife favourites are crab apple, rowan, hawthorn, privet, ivy and honeysuckle. In the Spring, discuss swopping seeds or plants with your neigbours, friends & family, this will save on cost. Why not have a go at cuttings throughout the year, (again do your research, and you’ll be rewarded in the end!). How about a pond? or even a small one. Adding a pond to your garden is one of the best ways to give nature a home. Even a small pond could attract dragonflies, frogs, pond-skaters and newts, as well as givingwildlife a place to drink and bathe.It’s best to line a big pond with heavy-duty polythene or butyl rubber. Create shallow edges to allow birds to bathe, hedgehogs to climb out, and frogs to spawn.And create a deep area, at least 45 cm (18 inches) in the middle – this deep area won’t freeze, so wildlifecan spend the winter in there safely. If you have a balcony or small garden, you can still help wildlife by making a mini pond. Get a plant tub or washing up bowl, then add gravel or small rocks then add to the bottom. Pile rocks on one side to help any animals climb in and out. And finally, add in native oxygenating plants, such as hornwort. Although it will freeze easily and will attract fewer bugs than a big pond, a minipond will still help wildlife.

Care and Support at Home – What is Dementia? During the Dementia Workshops we regularly organise we talk about the definition and types of dementia as well causes, diagnosis, symptoms, behaviours and techniques to support those suffering from dementia. I have been contacted by a couple of people who have not been able to attend and have asked for relevant information and therefore over the next few articles I will try to summarise part of what we cover during the workshops. The strict medical definition of Dementia is; “a chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes caused by brain disease or injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning”. In simple terms, Dementia is not a specific disease. It’s an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities. There is currently at least 850,000 people living with Dementia in the UK and that number is expected to grow to 1million by 2025. Two thirds of people with Dementia are women and one in six people aged 80 or over have dementia. Over 60,000 deaths a year are directly attributable to dementia and the financial cost of dementia to the UK is £26 billion per annum. Only 44% of people suffering from dementia receive a diagnosis.There are many types of Dementia but some are more common than others. Although the different types of may overlap with Alzheimer’s disease, they are associated with distinct symptoms, patterns and distinguishing microscopic brain abnormalities. The most common types (and the % each affects within the overall dementia population) are listed below: � � �
� �
Alzheimer’s disease. This is the most common type dementia affecting around 67% and early symptoms include difficulty remembering names and recent events; apathy and depression. Vascular dementia. It affects around 16% and results from brain damage caused by multiple strokes. The symptoms overlap with Alzheimer’s disease, and memory loss may not be as apparent. Mixed dementias. Around 10% of the population. Although Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, increasing evidence indicates that many people with dementia have brain abnormalities associated with more than one type of dementia. Lewy Body dementia. About 4% and it is characterised by physical tremors, stiffness and visual hallucinations. Frontotemporal dementia. About 2%. This type of dementia begins inside the forehead area of the brain. The typical symptoms include changes in personality and behaviour, and difficulty with language.
It is important to understand that Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are different for each person. Cases can differ greatly from person to person. Primo Sule – primo.sule@homeinstead.co.uk - Tel: 0115 9222396

The Great Christmas Show We are excited to welcome you to Wollaton Hall, which over the festive period, will be magically transformed into a Christmas wonderland! Come and enjoy this beautiful, fairy-tale location over two weekends. This magical Christmas experience will see a host of food and drink stands around the grounds with additional masterclasses in gift wrapping, handmade Christmas gifts and celebrity bakers showing you how to bake the perfect seasonal cakes. Whiskey and wine tasting will also be available with a wide range of spirits for you to try before you buy. There will be outlets selling hot spiced mulled wine, cider and apple drinks. Our festive food and drink village will host a wondrous selection of festive feasts. Enjoy delicious crepes, a hog roast, gourmet burgers and a large selection of sweet treats like churros, donuts, fudge, chocolate and much more. And you can’t have a Christmas event without Santa, of course, so the big man himself will be attending both weekends of The Great Christmas Show. Santa will be joined by Mickey and Minnie Mouse along with a visit from the wonderful Anna, Else and Olaf. The Great Christmas Show also has 50 schools from around the region, attending to compete in a Christmas Carol Concert extravaganza over the two weekends. The schools will be part of a carol singing competition. There is a substantial host of prizes up for grabs, as well as the winning school choir having their very own single made and released into the music charts. All the schools will be performing their chosen Christmas Carol or Christmas song in front of a fantastic panel (to be announced at a later date). The competition is open for all ages from primary school right up to secondary school students. Anthony Carver-Smith, NCT Marketing Manager said: "As Nottingham's principal bus operator, we work closely with the city's schools - educating young people on how to use public transport in a respectable and responsible way through our TravelSafe programme. Children from many of these partner schools located across our network will be performing at The Great Christmas Show, so it's our privilege to show our support in this way. Wollaton Hall is very special to Nottingham and the perfect venue for such a fantastic event." X Factor winner, Sam Bailey, who is a big supporter of the two weekend festival of all things Christmas and musical, will be releasing a promotional video later in the year to support this event. There will also be a lot of coverage from our other big supporter, The Nottingham Post. Both weekends will be supporting 2 fantastic charities, Rainbows Hospice and Nottingham Hospitals Charity.

Winter Warmer - Slow Cooker Beef Stew Ingredients (serves 4 people) 400g diced stewing beef 4 medium carrots 2 medium parsnips or half a turnip (or both) 1 small swede, chopped 3 leeks 1 onion chopped 4 medium potatoes 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce 100g frozen peas (optional) 1 tbsp tomato purée 475ml of beef stock (Knorr stock cube or 2 xOXO cube) After cooking finish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) Method Turn slow cooker onto low heat setting Heat some oil in a frying pan and brown the beef, then quickly fry onions until caramelized Peel and chop quite chunky, carrots, parsnips, leeks, potato, swede and turnip. Make beef stock with Knorr stock cube and add 475 ml of cold water or 2 x beef Oxo cube with 475 ml of hot water, mix in Worcestershire sauce and tomato purée to stock. Add all ingredients to slow cooker and give it a stir. Pop on lid and cook for 6 hours on high or 8 hours on low. Serve on its own, or with crusty bread NOTE: Whether you’re making stew in a oven or slow cooker, it’s always a good idea to check on it during the last half-hour of cooking to make any last-minute adjustments. So if you’ve discovered that your beef stew is too watery, it’s not too late to alter. Most thickening techniques will not significantly alter the flavour of your good beef stew, while a few might make it even better. 1.You can thicken your beef stew by combining equal amounts of water and cornstarch in a bowl and then adding the mixture to the stew. Ensure that the cornstarch is completely dissolved first. As a thickening agent, cornstarch is doubly effective as flour, but give the stew time to simmer with the mixture. Alternatively, use arrowroot in the same manner as cornstarch. Arrowroot is more neutral-tasting than cornstarch, but it is more expensive, too. OR 2. Puree some of the stew with a blender and stir it back into the stew. Alternatively, puree some potatoes, vegetables or another ingredient that will complement and thicken the stew.

Most rides use cycle tracks, canal towpaths and quiet roads where possible, though some riding in traffic is inevitable.

Book Review by Clare Lyons One Wish in Manhattan by Mandy Baggot
I’ve never read a Christmas book before (only children’s ones!) so this was a new venture, and I was pleasantly surprised – and do feel quite festive now. It’s a lovely warm romance novel. The characters are appealing and well described, as are the various buildings and places that Hazel and Angel visit on their trip to New York. The story is interesting and although the ending is all wonderfully, predictably, happy there are some good twists and turns along the way. The relationships between parents and children is well explored in a range of ways and the dynamics are believeable even if some of the situations are a little far-fetched. There are many questions about the reality of the ending and what might happen next, but in the spirit of Christmas you don’t have to worry about the practicalities too much. Mandy Baggot is an award winning romantic fiction author, so if you like that sort of thing she has lots more titles to offer including Truly Madly Greekly if you need some sunshine.
Children’s Choice As Quiet as a Mouse by Karen Owen
This was a perfect book for our current family as we expect a baby to join us in December. Edgar the Elephant has to find a way to be more quiet around his new baby sister – which isn’t easy for an elephant. He goes to mouse school to learn how to walk and tiptoe quietly, with great success. It’s a very gentle book with simple but effective illustrations. It allows children to think about the impact of their behaviour on others and times when it’s ok to be noisy and times when it’s not. It perhaps could have done more to even out the responsibility as baby’s do cry and it’s not always their siblings fault!

They were raising awareness of how older people sometimes struggle to get out and about because there is not enough seating available for them to rest and catch their breath for a few minutes. In order to encourage more older people to venture out to their local shops, AFN is raising awareness with local businesses of the importance of offering a seat to an older person should they need it.

Where everyone's talking about nature! Beeston Wildlife Group, new talk season KAMCHATKA-THE REMOTEST PLACE ON EARTH? – A TALK BY TIM MELLING 14th December 2015, 7.30PM - 9.30PM Trent Vale Infants School, Trent Road, Beeston Rylands, Nottingham, NG9 1LP About the talk “Tim Melling will talk about his visit to the remote Siberian coast of Kamchatka, even further east than Japan. So the sun rises here, before it does in the land of the rising sun. The number and variety of seabirds and sea mammals of the North Pacific are legendary including many species that are rarely photographed. During the two week stay he encountered more bears than humans and witnessed first hand iconic species like Steller’s Sea Eagle and Spoonbilled Sandpiper on their nesting grounds. Many of the common songbirds in this area are birds which would draw a crowd of thousands if and when they appear in Britain. About the speaker Tim has worked in nature conservation all his life including the RSPB for the last 27 years. He has travelled all over the world leading trips to see wildlife, and taking the odd photograph along the way too. He has visited Beeston Wildlife Group on numerous occasions, probably more than ten, so you are in for a treat.

Grapevine Tips - Not sure what to buy an elderly relative this year for Christmas? 1.Why not make a basket or box up with nice litttle luxury items that they will enjoy, it needn’t be expensive, could be food like: a jar of marmlade, some fancy cookies, shortbread, chutney and cheese biscuits etc. 2. If they shop at a local supermarket, why not give buy a gift card so they can use it to choose whatever they wish. 3. Buy them a yearly subscription to a magazine they may enjoy, such as gardening, sewing, woman’s magazines, ar mags etc, a lovely gift that they will look forward to receiving each month through the door. 4. You can buy warm throws from places like Dunelm which aren’t too expensive, they sell the Teddy type throws, soft and fluffy, ideal for the elderly to wrap around them whilst sitting. 5. Non slip bed socks are ideal for cold nights. 6. If eyesight is a problem, buy an audio book for them to listen too, great for passing the hours away. 7.Find out their birthdate (if unknown) and send off for a newspaper that was out on the day they were born - look on the internet. 8. If mobile, why not treat them to the Cinema, go with them and enjoy the new reclining seats they have now in places like Showcase Cinemas, parking is usually good, when was thelast time they went to see a film? 9.Photo frames are always welcome, and albums, usually photographs are mounted up in cupbards and drawers, an enyable way to spend an evening or afternoon, placing them in these.

Dr Jas Bilkhu, The High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire and a member of BIBF, commenting on this Enterprise initiative, said, “I am keen in my year of office to support new business and to give people with good ideas a helping hand where I can. We all need help and support in bringing new ideas to fruition and these awards are a great way to give a boost to the morale of budding entrepreneurs. I wish everyone good luck with their presentations and look forward to following up the success of our winners. Nina Dauban, Chief Executive of Nottinghamshire Community Foundation, “This will be our 9th den and we are pleased to be able to support such great ideas from some very impressive entrepreneurs.
