Every year local gardeners open up their gardens for you to enjoy - why not go along and help raise some funds whilst delighting in the gardens of our area... BEESTON AND CHILWELL GARDEN TRAIL, 13TH AND 14TH JUNE The Beeston and Chilwell Garden Trail is a popular community activity in Beeston and Chilwell. One weekend in June every year, local people open their gardens to the public. Not only does this raise significant sums for local, national and international charities, it also provides a fascinating opportunity to see local gardens of all shapes and sizes. The Garden Trail origins go back to 1997, when one of the local churches was looking for ways to raise funds to improve its premises and hit upon the idea of organising a garden trail. It was originally intended to do this only for three years until the money had been raised, but it became such a popular event that it was continued. The Trail has continued to grow and typically there are between 12 and 14 gardens open each year and 500 or so visitors. They are not always the same gardens, and indeed this year, we have four completely new gardens on the Trail. The gardens vary enormously, being different sizes, ages and styles, but all are loved and carefully tended and the owners are on hand over the weekend to provide information about the plants and the garden. In addition to the gardens themselves, the owners sometimes offer additional attractions such as providing a variety of refreshments, selling plants, a fully working model railway going round the garden, ‘B’ hunts and other activities for children, and having choirs or musicians performing. These all add to the fun and variety of the weekend! Over the years we have seen a variety of weathers. We have luxuriated in some wonderful sunny June afternoons, but also remember the times when pouring rain has been the order of the day. This does not deter the trailers who typically arrive with umbrellas and a Dunkirk spirit to the fore! Some people like to go to all of the gardens, others just to some of them. We have many visitors who return year after year. We feel it is important to ensure that this local community event remains affordable and at £3.50 per person, which covers all gardens and both days, with children going free, this is most certainly the case! Just turn up at any of the gardens and buy your ticket and then just show it in all of the other gardens. Typically the Trail raises over £4,000 for charity. Each garden owner choses their own charity and has an equal share of the entry money, plus whatever additional money they raise by selling teas or plants. If you would like to know more about the Trail, please go to our website at www.beestonandchilwellgardentrail.org.uk where you will find full details of all the gardens that are open this year. The dates this year are Saturday 13th June and Sunday 14th June. On both days the open times are 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm Do come along – we would love to see you!

With both indoor and outdoor seating in what was the old Farmhouse, the tea room offers local produce in a beautiful setting. The tea room offers a delicious selection of cake, scones and beverages as well as light lunches and hot meals, all of which is sourced from the local area.

THE HARDEST DECISION - CHOOSING WHICH ESTATE AGENT TO GO WITH... To help, I’ve put together eight must have’ ingredients to give your home the very best opportunity of selling fast for the best price. Here goes... 1. You need a local agent with a branch manager you can trust, who is themselves a local (like me!). They need to know the area and can give expert local advice. It also helps them strike up rapport with your buyers.
2. You want somebody to give you the correct valuation and not inflate the price and give you unrealistic expectations to trick you into signing up (and locking you into a long contract...)
3. There should be one point of contact from beginning to end. So the same person who values your house should also conduct the viewings and always be on hand to give you feedback And that includes giving you their mobile phone number so you can call for an update at any time 4. Accompanied viewings. The truth is that you more than
DOUBLE your chances of a sale by having accompanied viewings. Go without and your agent is shooting you in the foot.
5. Open 24/7 for telephone enquiries to book viewings or make offers.
People look for houses at the weekends or on evenings when most agents are shut! Your agent needs to be available when your buyers are ready and waiting to express their interest.
6. Allow buyers to book their own viewings and make offers online 24/7. By making it easy for your potential buyers, you’re more likely to get a sale quickly.
7. They must have exposure on all the major portals. So either Rightmove or Zoopla alone won’t cut it. They need to list on Primelocation as well to showcase your home to the maximum audience.
8. Their boards must stand out. There are so many houses for sale and agents boring boards all look the same. Boards are your property’s shop window. They need to stand out so that everybody notices them! More attention equals more viewers.
It’s a no brainer... With all of these techniques deployed, you’ll be giving your home the very best chance of a fast sale and achieving the best possible price and that includes giving you their mobile phone number so you can call for an update at any time. Good luck!

There is a chance this summer to step back in time and glimpse some of the beautiful Reading Rooms and wonderful historic book collections of Bromley House Library....
Bromley House Library is hosting ‘Into the Woods’ An exhibition and series of talks on Sherwood Forest from 1st July – 19th August. The library will be open to visitors on Wednesday afternoons from 12.30 – 4.30, free of charge with no need to book. The talks are £3.50 pp. and booking is essential (visitors can book from 1st June). Bromley House Library has been operating as a lending library since 1816 and from 1822 has been located in a splendid Georgian townhouse in Angel Row, Nottingham built in 1752. As you enter the Library today though our ‘secret doorway’ a passage leads to the garden door. This passage today has been transformed into a vibrant city centre gallery. The staircase from the entrance hall to the first landing has a lead covering which was laid down in 1844 and was replaced in 1983 when the date 1752 was picked out in it in copper nails. This room off the first landing features a double height reading room, lined floor to ceiling with books and a gallery which is reached by a stunning spiral staircase, installed in 1857. Opposite the issue desk is the Neville Hoskins Reading Room, the finest room in the building. This recently restored room has a fireplace framed in white marble with a wooden surround and mantelpiece with elegant scrolls together with a matching overmantel. The magnificent and unusual plaster ceiling has been cleaned and restored to its former glory. Its delicate rococo style is a riot of flowers, fruit and plant motifs. There is a further traditional reading room, which contains a rare example of a Meridian Line. The Attics, on the third floor, should not be overlooked, atmospheric, full of history and memories. Home to the first photography studio in Nottingham, with original beams and plasterwork, hidden rooms and wonderful views over towards the vaulted glass roof of the Malt Cross. Bromley House Garden at the back of the house is enclosed by the original brick walls. It is one of only two left of its type in Nottingham. Six London plane trees were planted in 1875 and three of them survive. The oldest shrubs in the garden are the aucuba, lilac and philadelphus. At the bottom of the garden are Magnolia Grandiflora ‘Exmouth’ and Washingtonia a striking architectural plant. Written in crocuses on the lawn are the dates 1752 -2002. When the roses are out in the summer the garden is beautiful but it really is a garden for all seasons; a historic walled garden, a haven of peace and tranquillity. You can be part of this wonderful piece of Nottingham’s history for less than 25 pence a day. For further information on membership, the exhibition and talks please contact the Library on 0115 9473134 / enquiries@bromleyhouse.org

Alan Titchmarsh recently visited Pure Land Japanese Garden to make the TV programme ‘The Best British Garden’, which aired on ITV earlier this year. Buddha Maitreya explains how the visit went... “Alan came in through the gate and I welcomed him with Gassho (putting hands together in praying attitude) and so did Alan with his usual friendly smile. I showed him the garden and he was amazed to find what I have created here; oriental beauty and an atmosphere of tranquility. In the interview I explained the essence of my garden referring to meditation and spirituality, and the different approach to garden creation as I have no previous experience of gardening or no botanical knowledge. The way I have approached it was creation of art by sculpting the land, trees and shrubs. When people come into the garden they see a miniature of the natural landscape of Japan with its harmonious beauty which gives them inner joy and sense of peace, in fact it is the inner Truth of themselves. What they really experience in the garden is the inner beauty of themselves. It is to find oneself. Nature and human being are one, the Truth of nature is the Truth of oneself. When I was talking about nature, it is the crystallisation of the elements: fire, water, earth and air that produces plant, trees, rocks, insects and animals, and garden is the co-product of man and nature. Alan asked me ‘where is the fire?’ to which I replied ‘the sun’ and he said loudly ‘Ah!’ throwing his head backward. Sun energy - light and warmth is absorbed by plant, turning it to sugar, and starch, and by it they grow and at the same time releases oxygen in to the atmosphere that is vital for all living beings. The crew spent all day filming, at tea break we served them my scones and I asked Alan ‘people often say it is the best scone they have ever tasted, what do you think?’ Biting the scone he said ‘hmmm, they are right!’ They worked until 6pm and it seemed that all went well and they were very happy in what they had done on the day. Alan left a little earlier than the crew, and before he went he came in to the kitchen and said ‘I have learned so much today, thank you’, and did Gassho to me and I thanked him for producing the TV programme in my garden, keeping my hands in Gassho too. Before Colin the director left he came to me and said "Alan loves your garden!". Pure Land Japanese Garden is open Tuesday to Friday 10.30am to 5.30pm. Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday's 10.00am to 5.30pm from last weekend in March to last weekend in October. Special events include Lantern Lit Evenings in August and September, Friday to Sunday 7.00pm to 10.00pm. And the magical Nature's Heart concert held at Pure Land Japanese Garden on Sunday 26th July 3.00pm to 5.30pm, enjoy an enlightening afternoon of inspirational songs, haiku poetry and meditation performed by Buddha Maitreya For more information go to www.buddhamaitreya.co.uk 01777 228567 appears on Facebook

Success is in the bag for Beeston, Wollaton and Bramcote fundraising slimmers They are used to losing hundreds of pounds but now big-hearted slimmers in Beeston, Wollaton and Bramcote have turned their attention to raising them! Members of the Beeston, Wollaton and Bramcote Slimming World groups collected 108 bags of clothes they’ve successfully slimmed out of to raise money for Cancer Research UK as part of the national fundraising campaign, the ‘Big Slimming World Clothes Throw’. Members, their friends and families in Beeston, Wollaton and Bramcote were encouraged to collect the clothes, shoes and accessories they no longer needed to generate stock for the Beeston Cancer Research UK shop/Cancer Research UK shops across the country. A local consultant commented; “This year’s Big Slimming World Clothes Throw event has been a fantastic success and we were overwhelmed by the amount of bags our members managed to collect for Cancer Research UK – they really are amazing! It was a fantastic atmosphere in groups and it was so rewarding to raise such a phenomenal amount of stock for such an incredible cause. It’s not just members of the groups who have cleared out their wardrobes – we’ve had great support from the whole community. We are still buzzing from all the donations we’ve had! “Because our members are so sure they’ll never need their ‘big’ clothes again, when we told them about the Big Slimming World Clothes Throw they couldn’t wait to bag them up and donate them to charity. Members of the Beeston, Wollaton and Bramcote groups have lost over a 1000 lbs between them since January this year simply by making small changes to the way they shop, cook and eat and by becoming more active. But the best thing about our groups is the caring support members give to each other, spurring each other along and sharing recipes and tips every week. “The Clothes Throw is a perfect opportunity for all of us to celebrate our success, inspire other people and raise money for charity at the same time. There is also a more serious side to our support for Cancer Research UK however: one in two people are diagnosed with some form of cancer during their lifetime, and being overweight can increase the chance of developing the disease. It is vital we spread the message that healthy eating, being physically active and losing weight by adopting healthy habits all help reduce the risk of developing cancer.” The clothes collected by Slimming World will be donated to Cancer Research UK shops across the country, with each bag raising up to £25 for the charity. Last year slimmers collected close to £1million worth of stock for Cancer Research UK shops around the country and they’re hoping to beat that total this year. All profits go to support the charity’s life-saving work to help beat cancer sooner. “It’s wonderful to be able to help celebrate the amazing weight losses and the improvements to health that Slimming World members achieve. The fundraising partnership between Slimming World and Cancer Research UK has been hugely successful - as well as raising funds to help us bring forward the day 200 types of cancer are cured, it’s vital to raise awareness of how adopting healthy habits can help people reduce their risk of developing cancer.” This year the Big Slimming World Clothes Throw was also supported by parcel collection service Doddle, who have stores in and around selected train stations across the UK. Doddle stores served as quick drop off points for Consultants to donate their members’ clothes to Cancer Research UK. Anyone who’d like to lose weight and join Slimming World is welcome at the group.

to the ends of the earth!
Pollyanna Pickering is dedicated to her work - travelling to find inspiration. You’ll be amazed by the results...
Passionate about wildlife and equally passionate about accurately interpreting her subjects Wildlife artist Pollyanna Pickering has travelled to the Ends of the Earth to find inspiration for her latest exhibition. Over 50 paintings will be exhibited to the public for the first time from the 13th – 28th June in the relaxed and comfortable atmosphere of her private gallery at Brookvale House, Oaker, near Matlock (AA signposted). Visitors will be welcome between 10.00am – 6.00pm each day, admission free This exhibition of brand new work will showcase the remarkable series of paintings created following Pollyanna’s recent expedition undertaken with National Geographic to the lost continent – The Antarctic. However the collection will also feature paintings inspired by Pollyanna’s travels around the world – from the High Arctic where she travelled with the Inuit people camping on the ice in tents and igloos while in search of wild polar bears – to the wilds Of the Russian Far East where she braved temperatures as low as -60 to paint Siberian Tigers, and the Amur leopards which share their habitat. Pollyanna has also retuned to the sketches made in the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan during her fellowship expedition as an ambassador for the international society Artists for Conservation to create new paintings of snow leopards. Her eagerly awaited new book Way of the Wolf launched last year, will also be available throughout this event. Pollyanna will be in her gallery throughout the exhibition to chat to visitors, and will be pleased to sign copies of this and her other books. Two new limited edition prints will be launched at the exhibition. Also on display throughout will be Pollyanna's extensive ranges of greetings cards, fine art and limited edition prints, and a wide variety of gift ware featuring her work, including signed sets of her postage stamps and exclusive giftware commissioned by Harrods, alongside brand new card crafting kits as launched live on television in a series of programmes featuring Pollyanna on the Create and Craft channel! 10% of all sales will be donated to conservation projects through the Pollyanna Pickering Foundation.

the sound of music... What do you do when you are fed up of being at home with the kids, the gym is not your thing and your partner seems to be away from home constantly? Well, on Chetwynd Barracks it’s join the choir. For many who have sung for years, this may seem like an obvious thing to do, but with the popularity that choirs are seeing currently it is has become, not only fun, but an essential way of keeping socially active for ladies in the military environment. Chilwell Military Wives Choir has been going for the last two years on Chetwynd Barracks and has supported over 40 women in their transitional lives, with largely absent partners. The ethos of the MWC Foundation, originally formed in 2012 after the hugely popular No.1 single, Wherever You Are, is to bring women together through singing. It now has over 80 choirs worldwide and continues to grow. The ladies in Chilwell currently have 27 members and have performed in Southwell Cathedral, De Montfort Hall, Notts County Football Ground and are just about to embark on their own selffunded and self-promoted concert with the band of the Royal Engineers. “We hear about the health and emotional benefits regularly, but these women can give first-hand experience of what being part of a group singing together can really give someone”. Here is one lady’s uplifting story of what the choir has done for her: “My name is Kate Spilsbury and on 27th April 2014 my husband and best friend Pete died suddenly from an undiagnosed heart condition. Pete had been in the Royal Engineers for 33 years, was due to retire and we were making plans for that. He was out cycling, training for a
Help for Heroes Battlefield ride when he had a heart attack. My world was turned upside down. I joined Chilwell Military Wives Choir in November last year. My wonderful friend, Birgit Cresswell, had joined a few weeks before and persuaded me to go along with her. I have never been much of a singer but as everyone kept telling me we can all do it with practice. I now sing all the time, especially whilst out walking the dogs! The choir has helped me in so many ways. It is extremely therapeutic and such an emotional release. I have regained confidence and have some order back in my life. It helps being with the other members of the choir who all have difficulties to overcome. Being married to serving soldiers is never easy and we all know how each other is feeling. With one performance under my belt, I am now looking forward to the next one! And if Pete were here he would be encouraging me all the way, he would be so proud.” So what have the ladies got coming up? They shall be singing at Armed Forces Day in Wollaton Park on Saturday 27th June around lunchtime. And, as mentioned, they are putting on their own concert on Saturday June 13th in Beeston Methodist Church at 2.30 pm. “We are very excited about it and hope it is a huge success,” says Helen, Choir Lead, “We have never done anything like this and the pressure is huge! We all love performing and to sing with such talent as the RE Band is a real privilege.” If you would like tickets then they are available from the Beeston Methodist Church office or by emailing the choir chilwell@militarywiveschoirs.org

breeze appeal VOLUNTEER FOR CHILDLINE NOTTINGHAM AND CHANGE CHILDRENS’ LIVES ChildLine helps children and young people 24 hours a day, every day of the year. ChildLine works because of the dedicated volunteers who are there for children. There are ChildLine bases across the UK including one in Nottingham where around 130 local people come together each week to make time to listen to children and young people. Rosie Golton, Volunteer Co-ordinator for ChildLine in Nottingham said: “You will be joining a really passionate team of people who know that they are providing vital support for children and young people when they need it most. The training is excellent and you are well supported throughout. Just 4 ¼ hours out of your week can help thousands of children and young people. We would welcome hearing from anyone who thinks they can spare some time to help.” ChildLine provides real insight into what’s troubling children and young people. In the past year the helpline has seen a 34 per cent increase in 2013/14 in counselling regarding mental health issues such as depression and panic attacks. A young person struggling with panic attacks told ChildLine: “I’m feeling completely overwhelmed at the moment. My emotions are out of control... I get shaky and can’t breathe and it takes me ages to calm down again.” School and education problems appeared in the top 10 issues for the first time, up 13 per cent on the previous year. School pressures and mental health concerns are closely linked with young people not wanting to disappoint their parents, confessing fear of failure and finding it hard to tackle the pressures linked to academic achievement. Exam stress saw a 200 per cent rise on the previous year. Esther Rantzen who founded ChildLine said: “It is crucial that counselling is available for children who need it, and that those who work with young people are alert to the symptoms of depression and isolation. It is all of our responsibility to ensure children can talk about issues and we must all look out for signs that they’re not able to cope. ChildLine can help.” If you are interested in becoming a helpline counsellor, please contact Rosie Golton on rosie.golton@nspcc.org.uk or visit www.nspcc.org.uk/volunteer.

breeze what’s on
Riverside Drama Company present: ‘Midsummer Threesome’ Thursday 25th - Saturday 27th June (7.30pm) at The Duchess Theatre, Long Eaton. ‘Subterranean Tales’ by Liz Turner, David Tristam’s ‘Last Tango in Little Grimley’ and ‘Whodidit?’ by Neil Harrison. Three superb comedies in one show- just the ticket for a midsummer treat. Sit back and relax in the hands of Riverside’s talented crew for a thoroughly good night out at the theatre. Subterranean Tales: Two authors arrive at a library for a book reading event but soon become trapped in the basement with the caretaker, librarian and an increasingly unbalanced member of the public. An hilarious play by Riverside's very own Liz Turner. Last Tango in Little Grimly: Little Grimly Amateur Dramatics Society is in trouble. Membership has dwindled to four and the audiences aren't much bigger. Without funds to pay the rent, eviction looms. "There's only one thing that sells tickets these days" argues the Chairman. "Sex!" Thus begins the chaotic and hilarious build-up to an evening of extraordinary drama - an evening the locals will never forget! Whodidit?: A country house is thrown into chaos as an innuendo-obsessed inspector disregards conventions and upsets everyone in this fast-paced, uproarious satire. Murder. Mystery. And pipes.

Local Care
Later Life Matters Event May 2015 - Changing the Face of Ageing Home Instead Senior Care provide a truly personal service to help people live happily in their later years.
What plans have you made for your retirement? Are you planning to travel? Where are you going to live? All exciting and thought provoking questions, but what if I asked you to think about how much would your plans change if you or your partner developed dementia? Home Instead are passionate about changing the face of ageing and our aim is for you to look towards your future with confidence and be ready to adapt to circumstances that may occur. We want you to celebrate your future rather than see it as a burden on society and we believe fair access to a dignified, high quality care experience is something everyone should have access to. A growing ageing population presents both challenges and opportunities and the desire to change older people’s lives for the better is also shared throughout Home Instead networks around Nottingham. Primo Sule along with two other care related companies founded Later Life Matters, an event that hosted seven expert speakers who each set out how their organisation helps solve the problems in later life. In addition there were 20 other organisations such as Age UK, Alzheimer’s Society and Maggie’s Cancer Support to name a few with displays and was able to answer any questions. The event held at a city location proved to be a huge success, with great accessibility and facilities it saw with over 120 people attending from health professional to member of the public. Feedback gained from the event was highly regarded and prompted organisers to make plans to continue the event to reach the wider community. Often people become carers for their partner without really noticing it. Suddenly they find they’re making all the decisions and helping their partner to do things they used to do for themselves. Understanding the changes that take place within the health and social care sector can be a mind field at the best of time but trying to find the best options whilst looking after a loved one is very difficult. Home Instead Senior Care in Nottingham can help support you to get the most from your retirement, even if your hopes and dreams have had to change. Please call us if you would be interested in attending a Later Life Matter event, free of charge, please contact 0115 96226116.

One of our CAREGivers was recently interviewed as part of a careers recruitment programme. When asked about the role, Lisa who is 48, said; “I have regular clients and depending on my availability I work 25-30 hours a week, this is perfect for me as I am able to fit this around my other commitments. Twice a week I take a lady who is 86 shopping, she loves going out and looking around the shops. Without me to assist her she wouldn’t be able to do that” Lisa also said; “If you are thinking about becoming a CAREGiver I would say it is a very satisfying and rewarding job, it is not the job you first think it is, you walk away at the end of the week knowing you have made a difference to somebody’s life, who without you would not necessarily have the quality of life they want to have”

Nottingham’s parks will host hundreds of fun and free activity sessions this year as part of a scheme to get city residents up and active in their community parks and green spaces. Nottingham City Council has teamed up with Coca-Cola Great Britain to bring ParkLives – a programme of free, enjoyable activities delivered by dedicated instructors – to the city. The aim is to encourage as many people as possible to join in the sessions, which start at the end of May at 20 parks, including Wollaton Park, Clifton Playing Fields and Highfields Park, and run until late September. Throughout the summer, alongside traditional sports like beginners’ running and tennis there will be plenty more unusual fun activities to try, including geocaching – a unique digital/real-world treasure hunt and family bushcraft – where you’ll learn how to make a campfire and build a shelter. The more adventurous can get stuck into open-water swimming, slacklining (a form of tightrope walking), and Parkour – also known as free-running. Sessions are held through the week and are generally an hour long. A full list of activities will be available soon at www.parklives.com Nottingham City Council’s Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture, Councillor Dave Trimble said: “We’ve invested more than £28 million into our city’s parks and open spaces in the last ten years, and the ParkLives initiative is going to make more use of them than ever. “We’re always looking for ways to help more people keep active and this series of activities is designed to be fun, accessible and open to all abilities. I’d encourage everyone to sign up and find out what’s happening in their local area.” ParkLives launched last year in Birmingham, Newcastle and the London Borough of Newham and following that success is expanding to include Nottingham and other cities to be announced later this month. It is part of Coca-Cola Great Britain’s commitment to invest £20m between now and 2020 in programmes to encourage and support one million people to be more physically active. Liz Lowe, ParkLives lead at Coca-Cola Great Britain said: “ParkLives is all about bringing communities together to enjoy fun, free activities in their local green spaces. “It’s an opportunity to get out there and try something new with your friends and family, have fun and be active in the great outdoors. “Nottingham’s parks are going to be buzzing with activity all summer and I hope it will inspire people to join in as many sessions as they can.”

your haven It’s the time of year we tend to look at freshening up our homes and the garden is no exception. Often our outside space will look a little tired due to weather damage. You may also wish to have a change around too. Here are some ideas to get you started... Raised beds can be much better for vegetable gardening. Timber kits are easy to assemble and come in a variety of different depths & sizes to fit any garden. Raised beds are very easy to weed and maintain and provide a smaller area to keep pest free. They are a neat and tidy way to grow vegetables and they will easily fit in with your garden design. You can add in the fitted plastic covers, providing a mini greenhouse when needed and then folded away for other times of the year making it unobtrusive.

Recycling in imaginative ways really can pay off - look at this idea for use against a lovely painted wall. Even in a small space this is going to give you a feeling of calm and add interest to your downtime outdoors so easy, so inexpensive and right for the environment! You can varnish the outsides of the tines to keep them shiny if you want to. A large pot of mixed flowering plants can really add a splash of colour, texture and also attract insects to your garden so why not go large on that pot and sow the seeds now?
Alternatively you can buy ready to plant flowering annuals and get started that bit quicker if you wish. Late evening brings the change in mood and atmosphere that so many of us love in the garden and this is an ideal time to light a small fire. The safe and decorative way to do it is to use one of the many types of container available to place on your patio or hard standing area. Many people now use these as dual use cooking areas as well - make sure you burn charcoal if doing so as some wood can taint your food. You can add the wood on later when you have finished eating.

Help your children learn We have often encouraged readers to get children involved in growing their own plants (with adult help of course!) so this may be a good time to get them learning. Why not set up a neat growing area for them? This can be a containerised arrangement which may be less frustrating as you can control pets & weeds much better. Lift uninspiring areas easily Lift a dull and poorly lit side of the garden with low level lights which can be easily and safely installed. Careful use of pots can create a very sophisticated look from actually very little. Use plants that look exotic but are hardy to the UK such as Chinese Leaf Palms - these are used to the lower temperatures we experience rather than the much less hardy Canary Palms that many people buy and assume will live outside - which they won’t! Use the calming elements The calming effects of elements such as rock and water are quick to transform a space to somewhere that takes you away for a while and these are very easy to achieve. The textures of different types of gravel offer the chance to create the growing space for rockery type plants which soften the effect and also add colour as many burst into bloom at various times throughout the year. Landscaping on a larger scale If your space is larger then you may well wish to look at designs that incorporate lawned areas to enable you to ‘green’ your garden and allow future areas to be carved out. Call a local Landscape Gardener to take the hard work out of it. Don’t forget what we have learned about drainage, soil types and plant requirements these will serve you well as you go about creating .and shaping your little haven. As always - Enjoy!

Create a small water/plant area: • Rubble bucket • Medium bag of concrete mix • Patio/stone waterproofing liquid • Large wooden planter • Bag of soil/compost/pebbles • Trowel • Mixing bucket • Cut off the large handles from the rubble bucket, leaving just the container. • Set your water container into a wooden planter and fill the planter around it with compost, soil or gravel. • Mix up some ordinary concrete mix and trowel this around the edge of the bucket, allowing the first section to set so you can build on it later. Layer up until you have a rim around the bucket and finish by adding more concrete to the surface and setting pebbles/stones in it. • Paint the concrete with stone waterproofer so water runs off it into the container • To add the sound of running water to your patio place a small water pump and hide the cable using additional stones. * All the materials needed above are widely available from DIY stores.

Could your dog or cat have allergies?
breeze promotion
Pet Allergy Month is here to help. Like people, many dogs and cats suffer from allergies. Symptoms may include itchy ears or skin, paw licking or even intestinal problems like diarrhoea. Affected animals can become irritable or depressed and withdrawn. To try to improve the lives of more of these affected pets Churchcroft are offering free initial allergy consultations and reduced price allergy tests during Pet Allergy Month in June. Understanding of allergies in pets has really advanced in the last few years and some affected pets can be completely cured and almost all can be managed effectively. George at Churchcroft Vets says “It is one of the most rewarding things when a pet’s allergy is controlled. Clients often comment that it is only after their pets got better that they realised how badly affected they were and how much happier they are”. Don’t let your allergic pet suffer in silence. Call Churchcroft on 0115 922 4855 and ask for a FREE ALLERGY CONSULTATION

YOUR MONTH AHEAD
ARIES Discovering what is best for you in the near future could well become priority. Whatever changes are made you realise the benefits are well worth the effort. Your thoughts and feelings about one particular person prove you right and give your support when they need it. Social invitations come your way, which surprise you.
CANCER Misunderstandings are soon forgotten realising that one relationship is as strong as ever. Outside influences are quickly dealt with making you and yours close ranks on anyone trying to cause trouble. Looking forward to a break of some kind you plan ahead. With new and prosperous ideas soon coming your way you cant go wrong.
TAURUS Personal life may become a little strained due to pressure from outside the home. However discussions are held to find a way of easing this and a solution is found. Discovering some paperwork needs attention you soon get to grips and sort out what you feel has been neglected. Any doubts about decisions made for the future fade.
LEO The month brings exciting moments and proves to be a winner in more ways than one. Playing your cards right allows you to achieve your goals one by one. Keeping track of what is going on around you becomes difficult but you soon knuckle down and get things in order. You enjoy family gettogethers when they are least expected.
GEMINI Where there’s a will there’s a way and by gum you will find it. Listening to no one you get on with what needs to be done. That is in your time and your way. Ideas for boosting finances are discussed with a view of taking things further with the support of another. What has been put off till a later date is dealt with bringing satisfaction?
breezemagazine 42
VIRGO Plenty to think about with some organization keeps you on your toes. Careful not to burn your candle at both ends you plan the month so all what needs to be achieved can be. With a little isolation and fond memories to bring through one day becomes extra special. Overspending likely beginning of the month. Changing routine helps others.

LIBRA A happy but exhausting month but one in which you can accomplish a great deal. With plenty of positive energy around you challenge one person causing a few feathers to ruffle. Good results are gained in the end. Taking more control over matters important to you, you set your stall making it quite clear what is needed. SCORPIO June presents some special moments where you feel you can give the go ahead on something close to your heart, which you have held back on for some time. For some reason seeing life differently gives you the zest to make things happen. Arguments could well erupt when a friend or colleague doesn’t agree with what you have to say. SAGITTARIUS Realising who and what has become important in your life makes you think in terms of change. Saying fond farewells likely but not to be upset about, just relief. Getting out and about for a day or so proves difficult when added responsibility comes in. Meeting up with family or friends or both loved ones makes one day extra special.
CAPRICORN Family matters take priority when groups meet for special occasions. Taking up unfinished business such as completing some education pays off long term. Turning your life around to suit and accommodate both yourself and those you love brings a new lease of life. Travelling a little more than of late becomes worth your while. AQUARIUS Stronger than ever and able to sort out any concern coming your way makes you realise how independent you have become. Loved ones give their support with achievements being recognised sooner rather than later. No time for trivia you sort out something of importance during one day with a pat on the shoulder from a stranger. PISCES Getting rid of the old and bringing in the new makes you feel you have accomplished something for yourself. More independent and in control of your life you become stronger and wiser. Learning new and interesting skills as well as hobbies brings about special relationships when least expected. Keeping a balance becomes a success

Duchess Theatre present Beauty and the Beast Jr. A musical, romantic fairy story based on a traditional French tale by Marie Leprince de Beaumont. Based on Disney’s 1991 animated film, with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice, it gives the youngsters an opportunity to bring to the stage of the Duchess Theatre one of the most popular and well-loved fairy stories ever told. This classic story tells of an enchantress disguised as an old beggar woman who offers a young prince a rose in exchange for a night's shelter. When he turns her away, she puts a spell on him and transforms him into an ugly Beast and his servants into furniture and other household objects. To break the spell and become a handsome prince once again, the Beast must learn to love and be loved in return; this he must do before the enchanted rose loses all its petals. So, “Be our Guest” and come and see the magic of this fairy story by stepping into the wonderful world of makebelieve, and how a beautiful girl named Belle helps the Beast to break the spell.
