Welcome... OCTOBER ISSUE 2015
....October, for me, signals the start of something wonderful; the crisp misty mornings, low golden sunshine through trees acquiring colours as bright as any palette could wish to offer. The chilly evenings and nights drawing in always make my cottage seem particularly cosy; logs chopped and neatly stacked by the door, jams and preserves on the shelves, gathered from this year’s bumper harvest; all prepared for winter. Autumn is a fabulous month of change, of gathering in, preparing ourselves and our homes for the ravages that the coming season may bring, and we have plenty of useful advice and numbers you may need this month, to enable you to be prepared, warm and winter-ready. Until next time……….

Are you free on Wednesday? If so, why not find out what Buckingham-based ‘Just Friends’ is all about? Actually it’s every other Wednesday but if you go down to the lounge at the Villiers Hotel, Buckingham, at eight o’clock you will find this social group meeting up there. Started over 11 years ago the group now has over 30 members who organise all sorts of events from meals out to bowling, canal trips to theatre visits, town tours to countryside walks. For both single men and women over the age of 50, this is not a dating club but instead offers an opportunity to get together with likeminded people to join in activities that are more enjoyable in the company of other people. We have people who come from as far away as Banbury and Milton Keynes and we have travelled as far afield as Cheshire although the majority of our events are in Buckinghamshire and its surrounding counties.
Recent activities have included a tour and wine tasting at the Chafor vineyard in Gawcott, a trip to Bletchley Park and a picnic while watching an outdoor theatre production at Claydon House. We enjoyed a canal trip departing from Thrupp in September along with a visit to see Fawlty Towers at the Chrysalis Theatre in Milton Keynes. We will also be attending the CHAT charity quiz in Aylesbury, made all the more fun with a little inter-team rivalry! The braver (or should that be barmier) members of the group will become Tree Ninjas in Salcey Forest later in the year and plans are already afoot for the Christmas party. Come along to see what’s on offer and make some new friends. Our next meeting is on 7th October and every alternate Wednesday thereafter. We look forward to seeing you in the Villiers Hotel between 8 and 10pm. Meeting dates. 7, 14, 28 October. 11, 25 November

I'm not happy with my late parents’ will what are my options? This is an increasingly common concern, particularly when parents have re-married and perhaps had children with their new spouses. However, it is not always the case that parents have ‘cut out’ their children, often they have failed to update their wills to take into account changes in circumstances, written a will that is not formally valid (as is sometimes the case with a ‘home-made’ will) or not written a will at all. There are usually three possible claims if you are unhappy with a will: 1. Claiming the will is invalid, for example that the will was not properly executed, or the testator was not mentally capable or was coerced into signing.
2. A claim under the Inheritance (Provision for Family Dependents) Act 1975, if you feel you have not been properly provided for.
3. Proprietory Estoppel – if the testator promised to will you something, and you relied on that promise to your detriment, e.g. giving up a job to work in the family business. If you feel you have not been correctly provided for, or are preparing a will that you do not wish to be subject to challenge after your death, please contact Tom McInerney, Associate at Spratt Endicott Truman Solicitors on 01869 252761 or email tmcinerney@se-law.co.uk.

Quick tips for A Autumn winds, central heating and stress are challenges to our bodies, so the best defence to stay looking radiant with health, is to be prepared! Here are a few top tips:
•
Get enough sleep – the best way to help our bodies repair and revitalise themselves
•
Eat your five a day – plenty of vitamins and minerals from fruit and vegetables allows our bodies to replenish
•
Exercise to de-stress – regular physical workouts, at whatever pace suits you, release ‘feel-good’ chemicals which reduce stress and make us healthier and happier
•
Make time for you – do something you enjoy every day, whether it’s listening to music, soaking in a hot bath, time with the

•
Hydrate from inside and out – replace fizzy drinks and tea or coffee with water, apply a good moisturiser every night, and see the change in your skin
FREE & 25% discount for 10 sessions..
• Take a supplement – multivitamin and
mineral supplements can help, particularly if your needs are greater – speak to your local pharmacist about which may be best for you
• Remember an SPF – Autumn sun can
still age the skin, so look for a daytime moisturiser with a little sun protection built in
•
Don’t forget your lips! Breezy weather can be drying, so keep lips kissable with a nourishing balm

Half Term Hobbies
Stuck for ideas to entertain the kids this half term holiday? Here are some favourites, one for every weekday! Make a wormery – use a clear glass or plastic container, put in alternate layers of soil and sand, leaving a space at the top, and add some worms from your compost heap or the garden. Put pieces of fruit or vegetable peelings on the surface, cover the container and put it in a dark cupboard for a few days. Have a look at what has happened - watch the worms tunnel, making patterns through the layers – fascinating for adults and children alike!
•
Create a scary •sandwich – use
Halloween cookie cutters to make super sandwiches in spooky shapes! Children can butter bread, choose fillings, try new tastes and combine unusual textures and flavours – how about ham & jam, chicken & sultanas, soft cheese and grated carrot, or sweetcorn & hummus?

•
Learn a craft – how about knitting, or card making, nail art or woodwork? Get together with a bunch of friends and take turns to teach the kids a skill. Minimal materials required, just enthusiasm and delight in shared knowledge.
•
Camping trip – to the sitting room! Little children, aged 3-8, absolutely love this one. Works best with a group, so call on the neighbours, cousins or friends, and ‘holiday’ together! Find plenty of old sheets, torches, maybe a sleeping bag and an old clothes airer or spare kitchen chairs. Drape the sheets over furniture to create ‘tents’, find snacks, story books and travel boardgames, and enjoy an old-fashioned pretend camping trip. No technology required, parental peace and quiet guaranteed, and it doesn’t matter what the weather’s like!
•
Picnic at the park – pack a basket of goodies, add a flask of hot chocolate if the weather’s less than lovely, take plenty of wet weather gear and have fun!! If you still have energy to spare, add a ‘mystery walk’ along public footpaths across the fields, climb stiles, spot local landmarks, and find a roundabout route home again.

With Autumn well underway, it feels as though Summer’s been over for ages, but we are still in British Summer Time – for now! Back in March, when the clocks went forward an hour, it didn’t feel much like Summer, either, but we have enjoyed the benefit of that hour change in the evenings, with extra daylight enabling activities to continue a little longer; a jog or bike ride, walking the dog, tending the garden, enjoying a barbecue.

Don’t forget!! On Sunday October 25th, the clocks go back, as we return to GMT. An extra hour of darkness in the evenings is compensated by a little extra light for the morning commute – but not for long, as Winter nears and the days get much shorter. It’s not all doom and gloom, though; making the hour change is much easier nowadays. The majority of electronic gadgets will sort out the time out for themselves, if they are set to auto update, so you may not need to do anything at all, just enjoy the extra hour in bed on Sunday morning!

The Garden in OCTOBER Seedy grasses
Bloomin’ lovely
More popular in recent years are the ornamental grasses now available in a fantastic variety of species and forms. Many really come into their own at this time of the year, as the late colours intensify and dainty seed heads sway in the lightest breeze. Try planting in poor soil, maybe through shingle, such as the fun Stipa ‘Pony Tails’ with their cute floppy seed heads. A real show-off is a form of the elephant grass Miscanthus ‘Flamingo’. Give this one a little space and drool over it’s fine foliage and iridescent silvery pink seed heads.
There are plenty of late flowering plants looking stunning at the moment, with frosts holding off and warm sunshine to enhance the flowers. In fact some blooms actually look better in autumn when the hottest sunshine (which can fade petals) has passed. For example the shrubby Potentillas are looking particularly good, with flowers in all shades from white through creams, yellows, orange, red, and pinks. Japanese anemones are flowering profusely as are many of the late-flowering herbaceous perennials. Vincent Landscapes of Buckingham est1990

Leave the grasses to stand into the winter; some will be cut back by frost and others will look superb with a dusting of ice crystals after a clear night. End of winter, cut back hard for fresh spring foliage and a perfect shape.

As well as the usual range of bedding, such as pansies, primulas, etc., try adding some evergreen shrubs. Euonymus varieties take on great winter hues, and there are many others particularly variegated subjects such as Box, Aucuba (golden leafed forms)
and dividing and replanting. October is a good time for planting as the soil is still relatively warm which will encourage root growth before winter sets in. Written by Chris Swallow

125th year this season Brackley Town FC celebrates its 125th year this season.
