November’s here, with its glorious palette of crunchy fallen leaves, sharp frosts hinting that winter is just around the corner, and Remembrance Sunday to remind us all how much we owe to those who gave their lives for our country. Bonfire night brings excitement and community spirit at firework displays, whilst we’re looking towards Christmas and planning fabulous festivities without breaking the bank. Whatever you’re up to this month, stay cosy! Until next time……..

Festive Favourites – on a budget!
Now it’s November, it’s safe to say that most of us are thinking ahead to Christmas – planning for presents, decorations and turkey – and quite possibly wondering how much it’s all going to cost! It’s so easy to overspend, when you’ve everyone to buy for, but with our top tips, you’ll save money, shop smarter and make sure your credit card feels much less battered in the New Year! 1. Don’t impulse buy! Choose an item and then shop around using price comparison sites, best deals websites and auction sites to see if you can get it cheaper. 2. Super savings – don’t forget to check for discount vouchers before buying anything online! There are plenty of sites where members can post deals and discount codes for others to use – saving you as much as 20% on your shopping. 3. Click through cashback – some banks and credit cards let you opt in to get cashback at featured retailers,
8
on other sites you sign up and then click through before buying. Either way, you’ll get anything upwards of 1% of your total spend back in a few weeks or months’ time, without any effort at all. 4. Presents don’t have to be new! Antique or vintage items are every bit as good, if they’re exactly what the recipient would like. Online auction sites, social media selling pages or local car boots, markets or craft fairs are great places to look for quirky and unique items at a great price. 5. Set a budget! If you’ve lots of people to buy for, it helps if you all agree on a budget. Shopping around for the perfect gift for under a tenner means that a lot more thought has to go into each present – making each gift that little bit more personal. 6. Super Secret Santa – the perfect solution to prevent
overspending! Nobody needs a bin bag full of presents on Christmas morning, so why not agree that everyone gets just one great gift, by drawing names at random? Set a higher budget than you’d usually allocate per person, but save a fortune because each of you just buys the one gift – saving time, money and potential waste into the bargain.

advice at any stage during Mediation, if necessary. At the end of the mediation process, a document can be drafted detailing the agreements that have been reached. This document can then be taken to a solicitor who, in some circumstances, can prepare a binding agreement for approval by the Court.
Mediation is an alternative process to Court proceedings for resolving family disputes. It helps couples make decisions together and retain control over those decisions instead of handing them over to a third party. Mediation tends to be a cheaper alternative to parties using solicitors to negotiate and is generally required before an application to Court can be made.
Spratt Endicott has a team of dedicated family mediators who are experienced in dealing with these matters.
Mediators are impartial and help couples to talk through their issues and consider all options available to them, then come to a consensus that can benefit both parents and children without the pressure and expense of Court proceedings. Couples can consult their own solicitor to take

Remember, remember……the Fifth of November…….but for all the right reasons!
Bonfire night is almost upon us, and with it the thought of mulled wine, toffee apples and sparklers! Here’s our quick guide to staying safe and having a great time: 1. Why not watch an organised display, rather than buying fireworks to let off in your garden – it’s cheaper, safer, and much more fun! 2. Keep pets safely indoors after dark, to prevent them being startled by nearby fireworks – keeping the TV or music on and using pet-calming diffusers can help if you have to leave them home alone 3. Kids absolutely love sparklers, but always supervise them, make sure they wear gloves and have a bucket of water or sand ready to put the sticks into once they’ve gone out 4. Check bonfire piles before lighting, to keep wildlife safe – better still, build the bonfire immediately before it’s going to be lit, to be certain there aren’t hedgehogs, toads or other creatures hiding in it

Maxwell is known for breaststroke swimmers and they did not disappoint
at Nationals.Elle Cogan and Gracie Hudson both made the finals in breaststroke events at the English nationals and achieved personal bests Gracie who is only 12 yrs old went one step further competing in the 200M Breaststroke at the British Nationals, in Sheffield. Gracie has been swimming since she was seven and her success is down to commitment, enthusiasm & hard work, At the Welsh Nationals Maxwell were represented by Jenna Govan and at the Scottish Age Group Nationals by Millie Jones who both also excel at Breaststroke.

A wise old gardener once told me, “the one thing you can be sure of in life is change”. Gardening reinforces this message all the time, says Buckingham Garden Centre’s Chris Day. If you’ve had a garden or gardens over the years you know that each one can be a personal challenge. Choosing the right plants for the location, the soil type and your own plants’ wish list makes for a journey into the unknown. Over the years you’ll be able to build on experience of growing things

Gardening this month Let birds enjoy your garden’s berried treasures
T
he chilly days of winter means berry-producing trees and shrubs really come into their own. Buckingham Garden Centre’s Chris Day looks at some of the best ones suitable for borders, hedges and containers.
This year’s Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Bird Watch results are in and unsurprisingly the House Sparrow came top of the 420,489 sightings in responses. Overall, there was an increase in sightings of smaller birds such as Goldfinches, LongTailed Tits and Coal Tits. Recorded sightings of Goldfinches rose by 11% from last year, as this sociable, brightly-coloured finch was seen in more than two-thirds of gardens. So, what can we do to help encourage an increase in the bird population in our gardens? Establishing a range of fruit
bearing plants is one of the best ways of providing food for our feathered visitors but which ones are best? To start, this is perfect time to establish these plants as we are in nature’s natural planting time, helped this year with the much warmer soils and some recent welcome rain. Let’s start in a border where there’s room to allow plants to grow unchecked.
Callicarpa bodinieri var. giraldii ‘Profusion’ A definite ‘Marmite’ shrub that captures our attention with the unusual violet colour of its berries, which is

perhaps why birds only turn their attention to it late in the season. The variety ‘Profusion’ has lilac flowers in late summer and bronzed spring foliage - which colours again in the autumn. Grows well in a sunny or partially shaded border. Cotoneaster ‘Cornubia’
Many cotoneasters carry a generous crop of red berries, but few are as dependable and as tough as this one. It’s quite a large variety, with fruits which are carried in such huge clusters that they can weigh down the branches. Partially evergreen, so the foliage too makes an attractive
background to the fruits without hiding them. Can be grown as a large shrub or small tree, depending on the space available. Euonymus europaeus ‘Red Cascade’ This colourful selection of our native spindle has two special features. Firstly, its autumn leaf colour is spectacular, a vivid scarlet. Secondly, it produces far more fruits than the original wild type. Each fruit features a rosy red capsule which opens to reveal bright orange seeds. Happy on most soils, including chalk. If space is limited in your garden but you still hanker to keep the wildlife happy then consider these two ideas for your pots, window boxes and hanging baskets.
