FCA appeal for new carers
...to find room to foster young parents with their child Foster Care Associates (FCA) is helping young parents in Bedfordshire to develop their parenting skills by providing support in the home of a specially trained foster carer. The aim is to keep the family together and stop the children from going into care. FCA which marks its 21st anniversary of providing care and support to children and young people this year, is appealing for potential carers across Bedfordshire with the time, dedication and room to care for a young parent and their child to consider a move into fostering. A parent and child placement offers the parent and child the best opportunity to remain together. A young parent may be struggling to care for their child and require extra support, and these placements allow the parent
to develop their parenting skills in a stable and caring environment whilst in the guidance of their foster carer. FCA encourages parent and child placements because they allow the parent to maintain and build upon their relationship with the child, meaning a foster home can play a pivotal role in ensuring the parent and child a happy lifetime together. Karen Bolton, registered manager, from FCA Thames Valley said: "Rather than referring struggling young parents to residential units to have their parenting assessed, local authorities are increasingly beginning to refer them to parent and child foster placements. “With fully trained support staff across Bedfordshire ready to work with new carers and guide them, FCA offer full support and guidance to carers and children alike to ensure that each relationship fulfils the children
and the family as whole� Placements can range from shortterm assessment periods, which generally last up to 12 weeks, to more long-term ones that offer the chance to help the parent provide care and guidance to the child. This means an appropriate placement can be found to suit the foster home. Some are pre-birth placements that help parents to prepare for the birth of the child. FCA provide support to those undertaking parent and child placements every step of the way, including training, a financial allowance, access to carer support groups and organised family activities - all contributing factors as to why FCA placements are 22% more stable than the national average. For more information on becoming a foster carer with FCA call 0800 022 4012 or visit www.thefca.co.uk

Starting School Schooling offers a chance for children to not only grow academically, but also, to acquire vital emotion regulation and social skills. In recognition of this the Early Years Foundation Scheme (EYFS) aims to develop both academic learning and children’s personal, social and emotional abilities.

Starting school for the first time is a major milestone, however, for most families, the new academic year can bring feelings of apprehension as well as excitement. By the time the summer holidays have started, school visits have been completed, and new uniform purchased, it may feel like there is not much else to do except the seemingly endless task of labelling clothing! However, there are still things you can do to prepare you and your child.
Settling In Get to know your new school, the classroom and teacher before the first day. Encourage your child to be as independent as possible from the start.

community The Lions Club of Bletchley reacted quickly
LOCAL NEWS
Return of the Proms With summer officially here, it’s time to rediscover that old picnic hamper as The Proms in Campbell Park returns to Milton Keynes on Friday 14th August. Milton Keynes City Orchestra and The Parks Trust have once again Following a severe house fire partnered up for another uplifting in Blue Bridge, Milton Keynes, open-air concert, as MKCO perthat destroyed two connected properties and made two families form a host of classical favourites under the baton of its founder homeless, the Lions Club of Hilary Davan Wetton. Bletchley was alerted to the situation by a member who lived near by. An immediate donation was agreed to help with short term needs and at a meeting of 40 neighbours the Lions Club agreed to administer the support fund being coordinated through the Romans Park Residents Club. Donations can be made via JustTextGiving by texting LION00 followed by an amount of £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 and sending to 70070. Lions Clubs make no administration charges on donations and the texts are free. It will also be possible to donate online via JustGiving.
Taking to the stage alongside the orchestra will be internationally famous soprano, Janice Watson. Originally a flautist, she began taking singing seriously at the instigation of the tenor Phillip Langridge and at the age of 23 won the Kathleen Ferrier Award and the Royal Overseas League launching her into the upper levels of the singing profession. Janice has also
won a Grammy with two further nominations to her name. Friends for a number of years, Janice and Hilary have a fantastic musical relationship, guaranteeing a brilliant performance on the stage. Following the orchestra will be a spectacular fireworks display, providing families with a perfect end to the evening. Marian Livingston, Chairman of MKCO, said: “The Proms in Campbell Park is a great partnership success for us with The Parks Trust and it keeps getting better every year. We’re currently working on an exciting programme to bring everyone all their favourite classics and to ensure a wonderful musical evening.” David Foster, Chief Executive at The Parks Trust, said: “The Proms in Campbell Park is a special event for Milton Keynes and grows in popularity each year. It highlights everything a great British summer has to offer. It is great to see people having a good time in Campbell Park while taking in the sounds of Milton Keynes City Orchestra.” Tickets for the concert cost just £14 for adults, £8 for children or £35 for a family ticket and can be purchased online at www.thepark-

Information Needed Selling a property is a very stressful experience, you are asked constantly for different documents which takes a lot of time. Getting the information from the outset will ease the burden and show you are a serious seller and care about your property. The type of information an agent will ask for is
Your Home Is At Risk‌ A phrase you will have seen and read on many a mortgage advert, but is not just mortgages that put your home at risk. What am I talking about? When you are trying to sell your property, you want the first person that comes through the door to buy YOUR property, not the one down the road or around the corner but YOUR property! So if you are trying to sell your property, the following tips may help you achieve an offer.
An Energy Performance Certificate Building regulation certificates Gas & Electrical certificates Running costs such as electric, gas, council tax, water, building & contents insurance Any service charges or ground rents (flats)
The Outside Cutting the grass and cleaning the windows (unless you are in a top floor flat!) will make the property more attractive. Tidy up the flower beds, clean the path and drive if you have one. Check the gutters, are they clean and debris free? Think what you thought when you bought the property as you approached the property. First impressions count and can make the difference between getting an offer or no interest at all.
The Inside Try to keep your property as tidy and as clean as possible. I appreciate this can be a big ask but in theory it is only for a short time. Previously, having freshly baked bread on the go with fresh coffee percolating used to be a deal winner, but now most people are seeing through this and believe you are hiding something, like damp! The same goes for those plugin air fresheners, I’ve lost count the amount of times potential buyers love the house but are concerned about the smell masking something! Viewings Put YOUR trust in YOUR agent, after all you did chose them. When there are viewings be on hand to answer any questions, but try not to get involved in trying to sell your property. If you follow the tips above it will sell itself!

Recipe Serves 6
Barbecued Fruit
Grilling or barbecuing fruit is a lovely way to bring out its natural sweetness.
Ingredients For the fruit kebabs 1 Pineapple 4 Peaches or nectarines Small punnet of strawberries Vegetable oil For the sauce A large knob of butter Zest from half an orange and juice from one whole orange. 3 Tbsp runny honey 2 Cloves 1 Cinnamon stick
To Serve Transfer all the cooked fruit to a bowl and pour the warm syrup over. Toss everything together until nicely coated. Divide the fruit between six plates. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream or natural yoghurt.
Method
Stand the pineapple on its flat base, and use a knife to trim down the sides, cutting off all the skin. Cut out any remaining woody bits
Warm through for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove the cloves and cinnamon stick To cook the fruit
Cut into quarters lengthways then carefully cut off and discard the core from each quarter. This leaves the lovely sweet flesh.
Rub the bars of a clean grill, barbecue or griddle pan with a little vegetable oil. Make sure it's really hot. Lightly drop the fruit chunks on to the bars and let them cook for a few minutes.
Chop the pineapple into nice chunks. Halve the peaches or nectarines and discard the stones, then cut into large chunks Pick the leaves off the strawberries and leave whole.
To make the sauce
Different fruits cook at different speeds so keep lifting the pieces with tongs and checking underneath When the fruit is soft, remove it from the heat. A little charring is fine and characteristic of barbecued food.
Melt the knob of butter in a pan over a medium heat You can use your own Finely chop half the favourite fruits: mango, orange zest, add it to the apricots and bananas also pan, then add the juice. work well Add the honey, cloves and cinnamon stick.

decide which style you prefer are arm shape: square, rolled, wide or narrow; the overall line of the sofa, straight or curved; and the design of the legs. There are many options in terms of upholstery: fabric or leather, plain or patterned. Think about durability in terms of the fabric and the look you are trying to create. Even if you decide on leather you will probably still have a choice between natural look, a smoother more even finish, or faux leather instead. Fabrics may be cottonbased, velvet and chenille types or microfibre. Most designers recommend a plain colour for the main sofa and the use of scatter cushions to add a splash of another colour or patterns. Cushions can be changed more easily if you decide the look needs updating in the future.

garden Plant of the Month
st
ugu A n i rden a G r You
August is often one of the hottest months of the year - making watering essential. Water butts may be running low so use grey water where ever possible. August is traditionally holiday-time, so you might need to enlist the help of friends and family to look after the garden while you are away.
Hydrangeas are popular garden shrubs with delicate heads of flowers in shades of pink, white or blue and pretty autumn colour and leaf shape. Hydrangea macrophylla, the best known mophead and lace-cap hydrangeas, are also known for their ability to change colour in different soils, due to the soil pH. Those with blue or pink flowers tend to be blue in acid soil conditions, mauve in acid to neutral soil conditions, and pink in alkaline conditions. Other varieties include Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ – with beautiful huge white flowerheads, Hydrangea quercifolia, with oakleaf type leaves, Hydrangea paniculata having large conical shaped flowers and the climbing Hydrangea anomala subsp.petiolaris which can be grown on a north facing wall. Hydrangeas thrive in a moist, but well-drained soil, in a cool, semishady part of the garden. Avoid exposed east-facing sites, where cold winds can damage young spring growth, and also avoid dry, sunny spots. Hydrangeas are easy to grow from softwood, semi-ripe or hardwood cuttings but climbers are best layered.
Jobs for the garden Pick herbs for fresh use and for drying. Harvesting will keep them growing longer. Trim and feed handing baskets to prolong their beauty. Keep deadheading and harvesting. Remove any diseased foliage now, so it doesn't get lost in the autumn leaves.
Prune summer flowering shrubs as the flowers fade. Sow a late crop of peas and spinach and keep harvesting. Start saving seeds and taking cuttings. Leave some annual seeds to self-sow. Begin dividing perennials. Start with the bearded iris. Check that your mulch hasn't decomposed and add more as needed. Spread a mid-season
Cut back the foliage of early bloomers like Brunneras and hardy geraniums to revitalize the plants. Gill Gallon Potash Nursery, www.potashplants.co.uk

IT’S THE LAW
Most of us have tried a spot of DIY - maybe around the house or garden, but would you attempt DIY dentistry or surgery? Probably not, but we see this regularly when it comes to legal matters. You might be interested in considering the following when thinking of DIY in the realm of Wills and Family Law......
DON’T DIY THE LAW! An agreed divorce can be straight forward, but problems can arise where the other party fails to comply with the procedure. The Petitioner will need to know alternative methods of proving service and if necessary be able to seek appropriate Costs Orders against the Respondent. Where the Petitioner is issuing a divorce on a “fault based” ground, they are often not aware that they can seek that part, or all of their legal fees be paid by the Respondent. We have also seen circumstances where Costs Orders have not been properly applied for, or difficulties in dealing with contested applications for costs. For those co-habiting couples we have seen many self-drafted letters which parties try and to use when matters have become litigated. These letters are rarely legally binding and quite often it would have been more cost effective to have instructed a qualified solicitor to draw up Co-habitation or Separation Agreement in the first place. By far the most important aspect of DIY tasks when it comes to family law is in dealing with the financial assets. There has been much reported in the news recently of a wife who has successfully pursued her husband after 20 years of divorce
Fiona Burne – Head of the Wills, Trusts & Probate department fiona.burne@ommlaw.co.uk
for a further “bite of the cherry”, so to speak. Improperly self-drafted financial settlements are open to being changed in the future and are rarely therefore “final”. Homemade Wills often neglect to include consideration of how a property is owned, which can either be joint tenants or tenants in common; the difference is very important. If property is held as joint tenants this can be converted to tenants in common. If necessary, it is very important that this is done correctly and because it relates to the most valuable asset. Homemade Wills are often not executed properly either because there have not been enough witnesses to the document or the chosen witnesses are also beneficiaries of the Will – which invalidates their gift. DIY Wills often fail to include substitute beneficiaries which can lead to a partial intestacy. This means that blood relatives you may not have even met will inherit from you if your chosen beneficiaries die before you. Once your Will is signed and witnessed, it is crucial that you do not try to amend the document. This could invalidate the document entirely. If you need to make a small change, ask a solicitor to draw a Codicil for you. Sheena Shah – Head of the Family & Matrimonial department sheena.shah@ommlaw.co.uk

Lumps and Bumps Why Self-Examination is important
5 top tips to avoid a ‘hair’ raising holiday by Charlotte at Mobile Hair Design
Hair is extremely vulnerable on summer holidays because of the drying effects of the sun, salty seawater & chlorine in the swimming pool. One in eight women will get breast cancer, yet over a third of women don’t check themselves regularly for early tell tale signs that could save lives.
1 Avoid exposing your hair to direct sunlight as it can cause the colour to fade. 2 If you do wear a hat, don’t leave your hair hanging down as it will be exposed to the sun and can still fade 3 Use ‘sea waves salt spray’ it creates a lovely beach natural ‘wave’ on your hair. 4 Use a scalp sun protection lotion (especially those males with receding hair lines) A good one will stop the scalp burning the top of head 5 If you do decide to brush your hair as soon as you get out of the swimming pool or sea, brush carefully as it is most fragile when wet. Invest in a Tangle Teezer hair brush it glides through your hair with no pulling, tugging or yanking.
is the best time to self examine, when the muscles are relaxed and hang lower. Danger signs include pain or discomfort in the testicles or scrotum; a dragging feeling in the scrotum; a dull ache in the groin or lower stomach; excess fluid in the scrotum; blood in the sperm and discharge from the penis. For more information about how to self-examine, visit Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies website www. channel4embarrassingillnesses. com, where there are excellent video tutorials available.
Regular self-examination should take place around the same time every month to help you become familiar with the natural shape and feel of your breasts.

Whilst breast cancer is more common in women over fifty, testicular cancer is a young man’s disease, with males aged 15-35 being most at risk. Early diagnosis can be lifesaving, yet only 1 in 5 men check themselves monthly.

Mums all over the country will identify with Laura as she tries to survive life as the mum of three children, including a hormonal soon-tobe-teenager and a pre-schooler.

This is Tor, a lurcher aged 3 years. He is house-trained, good with people and other dogs. He needs owners who will be happy to carry on with his training. This affectionate dog would love to be part of a family, but would not be suitable for a home with children younger than teenagers. If you feel you could offer Tor, or any of our other dogs, a loving and secure home please call in at the kennels any day between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Our staff will be happy to offer advice and information. We have restrictions on rehoming dogs to families with children under 7 years of age, so please ask for details. Check our website for adoption information. You can follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

OUR Y W O N K RIGHTS
“Where you don’t automatically have the right to return items is when you simply change your mind.”
When can I take it back? So, you go to a clothes shop, buy a shirt, get it home and decide that actually you’re not that keen on it after all. Simple! You can return it, yes? NOT NECESSARILY! Indeed one subject often up for discussion on my radio show on BBC 3 Counties Radio concerns the successful returning of goods to a retailer. Let me make it very clear. If goods are FAULTY then of course you have the right to return them and depending on the length of time you have had them (usually only a few weeks), you should be entitled to your money back in full. If you’ve had the item for longer, then you can ask the retailer to either repair the item (if possible) or replace it. As I’ve said in previous articles, this applies long after the 12 month period, so don’t be fobbed off by cheeky shop assistants! Remember your statutory rights – all goods purchased must be a) fit for purpose b) of reasonable quality (depending on the amount spent on them) and c) should last for a reasonable amount of time (again depending on how much you have paid for the item). Where you don’t automatically have the right to return items is when you simply change your mind. Whilst many retailers operate a ‘good will’ returns policy and will happily take items back as long as they are in perfect condition, the law does not guarantee this. Always check the returns
policy of the individual company before you make a purchase if you’re not 100% confident you’ll keep the item. Failure to do this could cause a very embarrassing scene in the shop and a may end up leaving with your tail firmly between your legs. There is an exception to all of this though, and this exception is even more important now than ever before considering how many purchases are made online. When buying a new product from an internet or mail order company, you are covered by ‘distance selling regulations’. These dictate that because you haven’t had the opportunity to see the item you’re buying in the flesh (as it were), you have 7 working days, from receipt of the goods, to return them for a full refund. Always confirm that you are returning the items by email to obtain a date stamp and please note there are exceptions to this including CDs, DVDs, perishable goods and underwear etc. Always check the sellers’ returns postage policy as if they don’t state who is liable for the p&p, then they automatically are! It’s also worth noting (using the shirt example I described earlier) that if you are not given the opportunity to try clothes on in the shop (i.e. they don’t have a changing room), then you are also entitled to return goods simply because they don’t fit or you don’t like the colour after all. The best approach is that if you don’t know the returns policy in the shop, then ask before you buy. Finally, always keep your receipts and if you don’t, remember that a bank statement or credit card bill should act as proof of purchase instead. 25

International Left Handers’ Day
August 13th
By Debbie Singh-Bhatti
Since 1976, sinistromanual people the world over have been celebrating their ‘right’ to be left handed - see what I did there?! Even though around 13% of the world’s population are left-handed they are, as one disgruntled leftie put it, “the most discriminated against minority” around! No one knows for sure why a person is lefthanded, but research suggests it is genetic and left-handedness does tend to run in families. As any left-hander knows, the world isn’t really designed to cater for them, so having a whole day dedicated to raising awareness of the everyday issues and challenges faced by the left-handed population is one way of changing that. In days gone by left-handers may have been forced to use their right hand (at school for example) but nowadays the world is becoming a friendlier place. Tools such as scissors, tin openers, vegetable peelers, knives and tape measures are all available for the non-righthanded. Left-handedness is controlled by the right side of the brain, which means that lefties are likely to be creative - excelling in music, the arts and media. They are also inclined to be good at ball sports and at anything requiring hand-toeye co-ordination. Though being left-handed might once have been considered a disability, today’s lefties refuse to let it hold them back. “I may be lefthanded,” says one, “But I’m always right.” I’m not going to argue!

Bedfordshire’s Night Sky
By Seb Jay
Looking Up! August & September 2015
Find Saturn in the Late Summer Sky:
Saturn is the brightest planet visible in the evening sky over Bedfordshire in August and September this year. Look to the south-west after dark for a pale yellow star-like object hanging above the horizon slightly to the right of an almost vertical line of three dimmer white stars. A small telescope is all that is needed to see Saturn’s rings and some of the planet’s moons.
Catch a Falling Star this August:
The Perseids Meteor Shower is well underway as August begins. Shooting star activity builds through the first two weeks of the month to a peak on the nights of August 12th and August 13th. Look out to your north-east after dark for fast moving streaks
of light flashing across the sky. These aren’t real stars falling to Earth. If they were we’d all be in a severe amount of difficulty! Instead what we see are tiny particles of comet debris burning up in Earth’s atmosphere.
See a Rare Supermoon Eclipse:
In the early hours of September 28th the full moon is set to turn blood-red as we experience a total lunar eclipse. From 2am to 5am the moon enters Earth’s shadow. At 356,876 kilometres distance it’ll be the closest total lunar eclipse visible from the UK so far this century. In fact we’ll have to wait until October 2051 to see a ‘supermoon’ eclipse that is any closer.
