Farewell to the Sisters
The phrase, “the end of an era”, is often used rather lightly, BUT, for the Catholic Community of South Holland, Wednesday 16th February truly was the end of an era, for, on that day, they bade farewell to their much loved Parish Sisters, Sister Veronica and Sister Theresa~Anne. The Sisters, who are both members of the Order of the Sisters of Providence and the Immaculate Conception, were leaving the Parish of Holy Trinity, Holbeach where they had lived in the Parish House for the past sixteen years, ministering to the needs of the Catholic population of the Parish which comprises three small towns and over thirty villages.
Local M.P., John Hayes, on hearing of their departure, said, “The Sisters have been an inspiration to me
since I first met them as a new M.P. fourteen years ago. I will miss them, as will all of us whom they inspired, encouraged and enlightened.”
The farewell celebration for the Sisters on in February began with a Mass of Thanksgiving said at Holy Trinity Church, Holbeach adjacent to the Parish House which had been the Sisters’ home for sixteen years. The Reception afterwards was held at the Women’s Institute Hall on Park Road. The evening concluded with a toast to the Sisters proposed by Father Jim Burke, some memories of their early days in Holbeach from Father Martin Gosling and presentations to the Sisters, including a lap-top from the Lourdes Group at Holbeach and a cheque for £3,000 from the Catholic Community of South Holland.

Olympic Inspiration Comes to South Holland The final countdown to the Olympic Games has started - and London 2012 has officially come to South Holland. A new scheme bringing classes and courses to centres throughout the area has been awarded the accolade of a place in the London 2012 Inspire programme. The project, which aims to bring activity sessions of many kinds to more than a dozen local centres, is organised by the Lincolnshire Active Community Network working with South Holland District Council, the venues which will host the sessions – from fitness to flower arranging, computers to needlecraft - will be the 14 community rooms in the area’s sheltered housing schemes. On March 15th, when the 500-day countdown to the London Olympics began, the project was officially signed and awarded the Inspire Mark and given the right to use the 2012 logo. “For an organisation to be recognised in this way it has to prove that the project was genuinely inspired by the 2012 Games and that it is innovating and inspiring,” said Cllr Amanda Puttick, South Holland District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Healthy Communities. “We are delighted that our project met these and other strict criteria and has been recognised in such an exciting and high profile way.”

Calling All Night Owls
French Twinning Association
It’s time to get out your walking shoes and join a girls’ night out with a difference. Peterborough’s charity Midnight Walk kicks off from its new venue at the city’s Greyhound Stadium on Saturday April 30th and organizers are hoping that hundreds of women will head down to the track for a little early morning exercise.
Did you know that some 52 years ago a Twinning Association was started between Holbeach and Sezanne / Mondement in France, which lies in the heart of the Champagne region?
Volunteers are also needed on the night to help with various jobs including marshalling to make sure walkers are safe. Anyone who would like to enter or volunteer should visit www.sueryder.org/midnightwalks or call 01733 330060.
The Association (now under the Banner of “The Friends of Sezanne”) is still going strong after all this time and at the end of August a party of some 35 members will travel by luxury coach for a four day visit.
SHDC Welcomes New Neighbours The range of services available in the South Holland District Council offices has grown again as another outside organisation has decided to make its base there. Earlier this year Spalding staff of HM Customs and Revenue moved into the Priory Road buildings. Now the South Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service is also making its home there. Two ground floor offices have been allocated to SLCVS – a large room for up to about eight people and a smaller, private room for interviews
with members of the public. SL CVS Chief Executive Officer Ladey Adey: “I am delighted that South Lincolnshire CVS will be moving into the Priory Road offices. This move will bring our services closer to the South Holland residents who are looking at volunteering to
give back to their communities or as a pathway into employment. Alongside this it will provide us with space to meet with local community groups and voluntary organisations.
Your Vote - Don’t Miss Out Deadline day is looming if you want to make sure you will be able to vote on election day in May.
If you’ve changed address or are not properly listed on the election register for any other reason, then you need to act soon. Elections will be held on Thursday 5th May to fill seats on South Holland District Council and on parish councils. On the same day voting will take place in the referendum on changing the parliamentary voting system.
“We are very keen that people do make sure of their right to vote,” said Jim Scarsbrook, returning officer for South Holland.
“Unless your name and address are correctly entered on the electoral register then that right will be lost for these elections. If you’re not sure then please do contact South Holland District Council to check.” You also need to take action if you would like a postal vote. Several thousand people in South Holland
have the right to a permanent postal vote at every election and you can join the list if you wish. Voting will take place in local elections for the 37 seats on South Holland District Council and for the 217 parish council seats in the area. The referendum will ask voters to choose whether the UK should introduce a new system, called Alternative Vote, to elect Members of Parliament, or keep the traditional first-past-the-post system.

£10 Million Pounds Invested To Refurbish Car Parks Queensgate is investing £10m in a four year project to completely refurbish and re-brand all four of its centre car parks. The maintenance will be carried out in four stages, with work due to start on Clare car park in mid-April. Each phase will take approximately six months to complete and will predominately carried out during summer months over a four year period. This will avoid any unnecessary disruption during key shopping periods over Christmas and New Year. Frank Grant, acting centre director at Queensgate, comments: “Centre owners Hammerson and Aviva are investing a significant amount of money to roll out this carefully planned refurbishment programme. Recently we have had a number of new retailers open in the centre, including Jack & Jones, Pandora, Superdry, Appy Feet and Schuh, so this and our recent momentous Primark announcement coupled with the car park maintenance plan really does demonstrate a substantial commitment to the city centre. Queensgate has no immediate plans to increase parking tariffs and still remains the cheapest facility in the city centre. Should prices be raised in the future, the centre will always endeavour to offer excellent parking at a fair price.”

Advice
IMPORTANT CHANGES TO SOME BENEFITS IN 2011 Following last year’s budget, there will be some significant changes to welfare benefits and income tax this year, many of which will affect families. In addition, the Government is proposing wide-scale changes to the benefit system and the Citizens Advice Service will be keeping abreast of these changes as they develop. Important changes to Housing Benefit in England: If you rent from a private landlord and qualify for Housing Benefit, the rules on how much you can claim are changing on 1st April. If you make a new claim for Housing Benefit after this date the amount you get will be less than if you make a claim before then. The amount of Housing Benefit you’re entitled to is worked out according to the Local Housing Allowance (LHA) rate. At the moment the LHA rate is set so that five out of ten properties in your local area should be affordable if you’re claiming Housing Benefit. When the changes come into force, only three in ten properties will be affordable.
when you claim. If you’re getting Child Tax Credit, you may also be able to get a maternity grant if your award of Child Tax Credit is high enough. If you are getting Working Tax Credit with an extra amount because of disability, you will be entitled to a maternity grant. Your capital (for example, savings) does not affect a maternity grant. The Health in Pregnancy Grant is a £190 one-off payment to all expectant mothers that is made irrespective of income. The Government considers the universal Grant to be a poor use of limited public funds and it has been abolished to help reduce the deficit. The Government has abolished the Health in Pregnancy Grant from 1 January 2011. Women who reached the 25th week of pregnancy before 1 January 2011 will still be entitled to the grant providing they satisfy the conditions of the grant.
To get an idea of what the new LHA rate is likely to be in your area, go to the LHA Direct website at lha-direct.voa.gov.uk. The amount of LHA will also be capped according to the size of property that you rent. The caps are: • £250 a week for a one-bed property • £290 a week for a two-bed property • £340 a week for a three-bed property • £400 a week for a four-bed (or more) property. If you’re already claiming Housing Benefit in private rented accommodation, you won’t be affected by the changes until nine months after your local authority next assess your Housing Benefit claim, after 1 April.
Main Changes to Tax Credits and
However, if you’re already claiming Housing Benefit and your circumstances change sooner than that, your benefit could change at that point. Changes of circumstances include someone moving in or out of your property, or moving house. If you’re a local authority or Housing Association tenant, you won’t be affected by these changes to Housing Benefit. To find out more information, go the Directgov website at www. direct.gov.uk A leaflet explaining the changes is available on the National Homelessness Advice Service website at www.nhas.org.uk.
Income Tax:
Changes to Maternity and Health in Pregnancy grants:
21st Century Welfare: Reform of the tax credits and benefit system:
A maternity grant (also known as a Sure Start maternity grant) is a fixed amount of £500 to help people on a low income buy clothes and equipment for a new born baby. It does not have to be repaid. It does not matter what you use the money for. If the baby is born, expected or adopted on or after 11 April 2011, you can only get a maternity grant if the new baby is the only child under 16 in the household. You can get a maternity grant if you or your partner is receiving Income Support, Pension Credit, income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) or income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
for lone parents working less than 16 hours, and for under 25s not eligible for working tax credit. The hours rules in tax credits mean that people can be trapped into working certain hours and can lose out significantly if they work fewer hours, but gain little if they work extra hours. The central proposal is for all means tested benefits and tax credits to be replaced by a single universal credit that supports people both in and out of work. It would replace incomerelated Employment & Support Allowance, Jobseeker’s Allowance and income support, tax credits, housing and council tax benefits and support for mortgage interest. Current proposals keep separate disability benefits and some contribution-based benefits. The universal credit would gradually be withdrawn as post-tax household incomes rise. There would be one fixed withdrawal rate that would ensure people always gain from increases in earned income and make it easier for people to calculate their exact financial gains from work. A higher earnings disregard would help people entering work, even if only for a few hours. Other proposals are included in the paper which includes 12 consultation questions. Responses are invited by 1 October. More details can be found on the DWP website. www.dwp.gov.uk
Child Benefit • The Government will reduce tax credit eligibility for families with household income above £40,000 from April 2011 and make further changes in 2012-13; • The Government has announced the removal of a number of elements from the Tax Credits system including the baby element (6 April 2011) and the age 50+ element (6 April 2012); Citizens Advice Bureau give free, • Child benefit will be frozen for 3 years confidential, impartial and from 2011-12. There will be a rise in the tax threshold by £1,000 from April 2011: anybody earning more than £7,475 will gain £3.84/week in their take home pay or £200/year. However, those receiving housing benefit/council tax benefit will only see a net increase in disposable income of 58p/week or £30/year. This is because for every extra £1 of net income they will lose 85p in housing and council tax benefit entitlement.
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, Iain Duncan-Smith, has published his department’s proposals for structural reform of the benefits and tax credits system. The main aim of reform is to address complexity and to improve work incentives. The paper sets out the problems with the current system and recognises how work incentives are particularly poor

Health & Beauty Crystal of the Month Amethyst Susan Yoxall of Fenchancements introduces us to a new crystal
A beautiful crystal of translucent purple, it’s easily identifiable and is often used as a precious gem in jewellery but this crystal does so much more for its’ owner than just look good. Amethyst is a strong and protective crystal, fending off negative energies allowing you to focus mentally to the task in hand alleviating that scatty feeling we all get from time to time, promoting a sense of calm. In days gone by it was used to prevent drunkenness, but now is advised to help with
addictions and overindulgences. On a spiritual level amethyst helps promote divine love and enhances meditation to a deeper level, as well as opening up to spiritual wisdom and psychic understanding. As a healing crystal its’ benefits include helping to cleanse the blood and to strengthen the immune system. It is also recommended for those who suffer from insomnia and headaches, and all of us who have stress; this is a must!
For more information and guidance visit Fenchantments at 14 Knight Street, Pinchbeck or call 01775 719461.

Keeping
Health & Beauty
Your Feet in
Tip Top
Condition Working 24/7, our feet really do get the rough end of a bargain. But do we take the time to look after them? We look at how you can give your feet the care they deserve.
by Kate Gibbard
Basic hygiene - make it part of your daily routine Basic foot hygiene lies in the art of cleaning. Sounds obvious doesn’t it? But some of us are guilty of ignoring this basic rule. Feet should be thoroughly cleaned every day to prevent a build-up of bacteria - the cause of bad odour. If you suffer particularly with smelly feet, you might need to wash your feet more regularly and should ask your pharmacist or GP for a recommended anti-bacterial agent. As temperature rises and summer gets closer, it pays to take notice of what you wear on your feet – socks made from synthetic fibres won’t let your feet breathe properly, so choose cotton socks. And remember to regularly alter your choice of footwear to prevent bacteria build-up – it also goes without saying: make sure your choice of footwear for daily wear is sensible, fits correctly and is made from natural materials.
Hard skin Soon it will be time to bring out the flip flops and sandals – and there’s nothing worse than suffering with hard skin and cracked heels.
The best way of treating this is to wash your feet in warm water to soften them up, and then follow this with exfoliation using a pumice stone. You then need to apply a good quality moisturiser to help prevent further hard skin from developing.
Nail care Nail care is not just about painting your nails! To keep your nails healthy, your toenails need to be kept clean and short. Always use appropriate toenail clippers to cut the nail straight across the top and use a file to smooth down rough edges. Looking after your toenails will help prevent nail diseases and disorders.
Get professional advice If you don’t know where to start with your foot care, book yourself in for a pedicure – have your toenails shaped, your dead skin removed and your feet massaged. You might have heard about the fish pedicure that the celebrities are raving about? You stick your feet into a tank of fish and they eat the dead skin off your feet, leaving you with soft, smooth,

exfoliated skin! According to medical research, the fish can help those
Health & Beauty with eczema and psoriasis; the saliva from the fish contains a healing protein. If you are suffering from corns, calluses, cracked heels or other foot complaints like ingrowing toenails, make an appointment to see an HPC registered chiropodist/podiatrist for professional advice and treatment. Motivate yourself to get rid of these nasties before the summer arrives! They will also be able to help you with any foot concerns you have – from arthritic feet to diabetic foot care – by taking a holistic approach to foot care – examining your feet, ankles and legs and also your circulation and nerves supplying them.
Don’t forget to relax! Remember to give your feet a rest by choosing from relaxation therapies like reflexology or specialised foot massages. A chance to distress your whole body! Regular stretching exercises are also effective for improving circulation in the feet. Taking care of your feet will not only help them to look good this summer, but you can rest assured that they’re healthy too – giving you that all-

important confidence boost ready for summer. Qualified podiatrist, Susan Lester, from Premiere Podiatry, shares with us her top tips for looking after your feet: Why is it that we know to keep a car running smoothly we need to get a yearly MOT and maintain it regularly, yet we ignore our fee? Most of the time we shove them into inappropriate footwear and then forget about them …. Until they hurt! The usual excuses are: “I’m breaking them in”, “I’m on them all day, what do you expect?” Standing for long periods may cause pain or discomfort to the feet, ankles, knees and hips as well as to the back and neck. Also, standing for long periods in unsuitable footwear may exacerbate any underlying problem you may have with your joints, increasing the rate at which arthritic changes take place. They can also cause corns and hard skin, sweaty and smelly feet, athlete’s foot, blisters, swollen feet and ankles. The appropriate footwear must allow your toes to wiggle (1 cm gap between the longest toe and end of shoe). Vary heel height from day to day. Wear shoes with a strap or lace over the instep rather than slip-ons. It stops the foot sliding forward in the same way a seatbelt does in a car. A heel height of approximately 4 cm for every day, but reduce the height to 2 cm if you are standing for long periods. Leather uppers to allow the feet to breathe, but synthetic soles to provide adequate shock absorption for all the joints. Finally adopt a regular foot care regime to keep your feet in prime condition.

Potted Shrimp
What does England mean to you? Rolling hills of green countryside, the great poet Shakespeare, our British weather, a cup of tea, our love of cricket… Traditionally celebrated on the 23rd April, Saint George’s Day is a day to celebrate our English history and traditions.
Potted History of Saint George Born in the 3rd century AD, George was a Roman soldier who went on to protest against Rome’s persecution of Christians. Despite being imprisoned and tortured, and eventually beheaded, George never gave up his Christian beliefs. Throughout the years, he became identified with the English ideals of charity, chivalry and courage, a powerful symbol of good conquering over evil. Sadly though, despite the fact that Saint George has been the patron saint of England since 1415, and his emblem, a red cross on a white background, is our flag of England, as a nation we don’t tend to celebrate the day with much excess. And according to surveys, only one in five people know when Saint George’s Day is. This year we want to do our bit to remember England by celebrating one of our greatest achievements - great English food.
Family Favourites As a nation, we have so many classic family favourites. Fish and chips, sausage and mash, ham, egg and peas, shepherd’s pie, bubble and squeak, steak and kidney pie, toad in the hole, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, slow-cooked lamb, pork cutlets – is your mouth watering yet? And let’s not forget the great English pudding. Bread and butter
200g salted butter Pinch ground mace Pinch freshly grated nutmeg Pinch cayenne pepper Freshly ground black pepper 1 tbsp finely sliced chives Zest of ½ a lemon, grated 250g brown shrimps or prawns, cooked and peeled Put half of butter into a saucepan and allow to melt over a low heat. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the melted butter to cool, but not set. This will allow the milk solids to sink to the bottom of the pan so you can spoon off the clear, clarified butter later. Place the rest of the butter, all of the spices, cayenne and a good amount of black pepper into a saucepan and melt slowly over a low heat. When melted, remove from the heat and add the chives, lemon zest and shrimps, folding it together. Divide the mixture between four ramekins. Take the pan with the melted butter, and spoon the clarified butter over the ramekins. Cover the ramekins with cling film and chill for one-and-a-half hours. Remove the potted shrimps from the fridge and serve with warm crusty bread.

Spring Lamb By Kate Gibbard
Easy English Trifle
For perfectly cooked roast leg of spring lamb, one of the best ways to cook it is with this Lamb in a Blanket Recipe. It may seem an odd way to cook any meat, but is based on a very old method of cooking when the meat would have a long slow cooking wrapped in hay. Prep Time: 20 minutes, Cook Time: 55 minutes, Total Time: 75 minutes Ingredients: 4½lb/ 2 kg leg of lamb, on the bone 3 garlic cloves sliced 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Sea salt and black pepper,4 sprigs fresh rosemary 125ml/4½fl oz red wine 1 tbsp all purpose/plain flour 1 tbsp butter, softened Preparation: Serves 6 - 8 The success of this recipes depends on using good quality, fresh meat and starting the recipe with the meat at room temperature. If your meat has been in the refrigerator remove it for at least one hour before cooking. Heat the oven to 455°F/230°C/Gas 8 Lay the leg of lamb on a chopping board with skin side up. Using a sharp knife make approx 20 tiny slits into and under the skin taking care not to cut into the meat. Slide a slice of garlic into each slit pushing it well under. Place the lamb, skin side up into a large roasting tin and rub the olive oil all over the surface using your hand. Sprinkle generously with sea salt and black pepper and place into the hot oven, uncovered for 55 minutes. The heat of the oven will cause the fat to melt and spit, there may also be some smoke but be assured this is quite normal. Remove the lamb from the oven, take care as the tin and the meat will be very hot and the fat may still be spitting. Lay the rosemary sprigs on the lamb and immediately, completely wrap the tin with 3 layers of aluminum foil. Then wrap the whole package with a thick blanket or I sometimes use several large, thick bath towels. Place the package somewhere warm but not hot and leave for 6 (for rare) or up to 8 hours (for medium rare to medium lamb). The lamb continues to cook slowly in its thick wrapping using the residual heat and steam from the meat, bone and roasting tin. As it cooks really slowly the lamb softens and releases lots of juices to use later for the gravy. After your chosen time, unwrap the lamb and remove it from the roasting tin onto a carving board and cover again with the foil. To make the gravy - place the roasting tin onto the stove top over a high heat, once the juices are bubbling add the red wine and stir well. Turn the heat down and leave the sauce to reduce. Meanwhile mix the flour and butter together to form a paste. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, turn up the heat and add the flour paste and whisk until all the flour is absorbed and the sauce has thickened. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste then strain into a warmed gravy jug. Carve the lamb and serve with a little gravy and fresh seasonal vegetables.

Nature
Spring Is Almost Here.... There are several ways in which nature announces the eagerly anticipated arrival of Spring and these “indicators” could be happening in your garden and neighbourhood right now! The one I always look out for is the sudden appearance of the the Common Frog in the garden pond following a few months of winter hibernation.In my garden this usually happens during the second or third week of March and once again this year I have not been disappointed.The familiar croaking builds into a chorus as the breeding season starts.Sadly last year my frog population was significantly reduced because a Grass Snake decided to take up residence in the garden due to the easy availability of “food”.
aquatic phase of their life.The Smooth Newt is fairly common,the males often have crests , attractive black body spots and an orange belly.The females have none of these features and are usually a dull browny colour. In comparison the much-heralded Great Crested Newt is a real style icon...almost dragon like in appearance with dark skin and reaching lengths of 10/15cm. The males have very noticeable crests and the skin is usually warty.
The Common Frog is familiar to most of us and is much smaller than the Common Toad ,having stripey rear legs,much smoother skin and a pointy nose.Whilst frogs “croak” a toad usually “squeaks”!
Look out aswell for activity in your birdboxes from your local Robins,Blue and Great Tits and Wrens as they prospect several potential nesting sites before choosing one to breed. The Chiff Chaff is an active confident Spring migrant arrival and this Warbler is easily identified (heard but often difficult to actually see )by its familiar “chiffchaff” call which it sings tirelessly from trees and bushes. The local resident Collared Doves were early breeders in my garden this year and two broken tell-tale eggs (white and glossy) appeared on my lawn as early as mid-February this year.They construct a very untidy and frail looking nest of twigs in a mature tree.
Another amphibian making a welcome return is the Smooth Newt who return to our ponds to live out their
Watch out too for the first Brimstone butterflys of the year.I was fortunate enough to see a vividly coloured yellow male (the female is much paler)Brimstone in my garden during the second week in March this year although they can appear as early as late February.
Incidentally if you vigorously prune some parts of your buddleia bushes in March you should get lots of late flowers which will attract butterflys to your garden. In the open countryside Hares will become very active as Spring approaches.Longer legged (and eared) than the Rabbit they can run very fast (perhaps 30/40mph) and are often seen on their hind legs “boxing”.This is usually when a female attempts to fend off the advances of an amorous male. Finally, newly arrived Barn Swallows are always a welcome visitor,and these busy fascinating birds should start arriving from their African Winter homes during late March and early April.Many people make a mental note when they see their first Swallow of the year and then compare it with previous year records.

r e n r o C s ’ t Pe Welcoming a new addition to the family The papers are signed, the cosy bed has been bought and your new puppy or kitten, or indeed older adopted pet, is coming home for the first time. It’s an exciting experience for both owner and pet, but there are some things you need to keep in mind when bringing an animal into your home.
Timing If at all possible, it is advisable to be able to spend some time with your new pet once they are brought home - consider bringing them home on a weekend or at a time when you can be close by to make sure they are ok. You will want to watch over them and be present in case they are frightened.
Animal proof your home If this is your first pet you may find yourself surprised at the regular household objects that can become items of interest for your new friend. Elastic bands and plastic bags seem to captivate cats, but can be a disaster if digested. Dogs are fascinated by whatever they can find in the bin, so ensure the bin is secure enough to deny them entry, unless you feel like taking advantage of the dog’s offer to decorate your kitchen for free.
“Dogs are fascinated by whatever they can find in the bin...” Keep doors to washing machines and tumble dryers very firmly closed in case curious cats are looking for inappropriate places to rest. You will soon learn your pet’s particular odd little quirks (yes, they all have them), but thinking ahead of the game can often save you money, be it by an unwanted trip to the vet or by replacing an expensive piece of furniture.
Existing animals If you already own pets and you are bringing a new animal into the home, be prepared to take some time letting them get to know each other. It is often a good idea to keep the new pet separated in a different room, allowing each pet to get a good sniff of each other through a closed door. With cats, you may get to witness some ‘catty’ behaviour as they become acquainted and it may seem as if they will never be friends, but they will eventually calm down and become comfortable around each other. It is important not to rush the process and to give them each equal attention. A good trick is to find a suitable toy that both cats are interested in and play with them so that their attention is focused on the toy rather than each other. This gives them a chance to become familiar with each
23 High Street, Spalding PE11 1TX Tel: 01775 713005 www.rookespetproducts.co.uk 20 SIMPLY HOLBEACH www.simply-holbeach.co.uk
other’s scent and to learn that the other pet represents no threat to them. If you are introducing two dogs ensure both dogs are in a calm, submissive state before and during the introduction. Keep both dogs leashed during the initial stages of introduction and remove either dog if they become too excited, returning once the calm, submissive state is again assumed. Taking both dogs out for a walk together is a particularly good tip, as it creates the bonding in a ‘pack’ atmosphere.
Existing humans Humans need to be gentle with the new arrival. Smothering the newcomer is not a good idea, as too much attention while they are feeling vulnerable can actually hamper the pet’s acclimation to their new environment.
“Smothering the newcomer is not a good idea...” Children will of course be especially excited by the new addition to the family. It is wise to carefully supervise their time with the pet during those first few days to make sure that the children do not become over excited and frighten the animal, or cause them to retaliate using their basic instincts.
Vaccinations Both cats and dogs need annual vaccinations to keep them protected from infectious diseases and a yearly visit with the vet is a good opportunity to discuss any concerns you might have. Cats are immunised against: • Feline infectious enteritis • Feline herpes virus • Feline Calicivirus • Feline leukaemia Kittens normally begin their vaccinations at 9 weeks old, with a booster following four weeks later. From then on, annual vaccinations are necessary to keep them up to date.
• • •
Canine distemper Leptospirosis Infectious canine hepatitis
Puppies begin their course of vaccinations at 8 weeks of age, with the boosters at 12 weeks old. Annual vaccinations should be given 12 months from the date of their initial vaccination. For dogs who may be boarding at a kennel you may wish to take the extra caution of vaccinating against bordetella, more commonly known as kennel cough. Additional treatments you may want to investigate are protection against fleas (which can be a real problem if left unattended) and deworming. Take your veterinarians advice as to which products are best for your pet. Enjoy your new addition and keep them occupied, healthy and happy!
Dogs are immunised against: • Canine parvovirus

Owning a Pet is Good For Your Health! by Hayley Willerton From 2 April – 2 May 2011 is National Pet Month. Thousands of people up and down the UK will be celebrating life with their pets, spreading the word on responsible pet ownership or raising money for their favourite charity in fun-filled events. The 2011 theme is ‘Happiness is….time with your pet’.
Family Life Ten Top Tips for Responsible Pet Ownership 1. Think carefully before getting a pet and learn about its special requirements. 2. Ensure your pet is sociable and well trained. 3. Provide a nutritious and well balanced diet. 4. Provide suitable housing and bedding. 5. Clean up after your pet and worm it regularly. 6. Protect against disease. Your vet can provide you with advice. 7. Prevent unwanted litters and neuter your pet when appropriate. 8. Groom your pet regularly.
National Pet Month’s aims are to:
•Promote responsible pet ownership •Make people aware of the mutual benefits of living with pets •Increase public awareness of the role of pet care specialists Responsible Pet ownership Pets are amazing – they can offer us company, affection, comfort and fun, therefore they deserve our care and respect. Whether you own a pet or are thinking of getting one, there are lots of important things you need to know and do to keep your pet healthy and happy. The law requires you to care for your pet properly, make sure you check out our top tips to help you do this, whether your pet is a dog or a horse!
Living With Pets
Whilst you are giving a pet a new home, there benefits are mutual and us humans get a hug amount out of pet ownership – it can even help our health! The RSPCA had this to say on the health benefits of pet ownership, Helping to Boost your immune system •One study found that children brought up with pets have more stable immune systems than those in non-pet owning homes, and missed fewer school days through sickness. •An Australian survey found that dog and cat owners made fewer annual doctor visits and were less likely to be on medication for heart problems and sleeping difficulties than non-owners.
Encouraging exercise
•Owning a dog can motivate people to exercise by encouraging regular walking. A study in Australia found that dog owners who walked their dog were more likely to achieve 150 minutes of physical activity a week than owners who did not walk with their dog. •Another study found that older people who regularly walked their dogs walked faster and for longer periods, and also had better mobility in their homes, than those who didn’t walk regularly.
Providing emotional support
•Pets can be a great source of companionship to their owners. •Growing up with pets may improve children’s social skills with people and caring for a pet encourages childhood responsibility. Pets can also encourage children to develop compassion, understanding and respect for living things. •Pets can act as ‘social catalysts’, by providing more opportunities for social interactions. For example, dogs can help to initiate conversations between strangers in public places. A shared interest in pets brings people together from different parts of the community. People with more social relationships are less likely to suffer from feelings of loneliness or social isolation.
9. Control your pet and ensure it is properly identified. 10. Take out pet insurance for dogs, cats, rabbits and horses to cover against unexpected veterinary fees and third party liability.
Pet Care Specialists
When choosing to bring a pet into your home, it’s essential that you also choose a vet to provide medical care for your pet. Deciding on the right vet for your pet’s needs is a very important part of pet care, and will help to ensure that your pet receives the best possible medical attention. There are many factors to consider when choosing a veterinarian, make sure you think about:
Type Of Pet
Depending on which type of pet you have in your home, you may need to make sure that you choose a vets that is equipped to care for your pet’s needs.
Location
Finding the right veterinarian for your pet also involves considering how far away your vet is from your home. It’s always best to choose a veterinary hospital that you can reach quickly, especially in case of an emergency health situation involving your pet.
Budget
It is also important find out how a veterinary facility will accept payment for medical services. Some veterinarians will only accept payment for services up-front, so it is very important to know this beforehand.
Veterinary Facility
Perhaps the best way to decide if a veterinary surgery is right for your pet is to visit it yourself. Schedule a time when you can visit without your pet, in order to gain a general knowledge about them. Of course vets are very important but there are other needs for your pets health – food suppliers, grooming, day care and what happens if you go on holiday do you have someone who can look after your pet? If not are there facilities where they can be taken to?

Getting the
Garden Ready For Spring Part 2
You may remember that in our last issue we covered getting the garden ready for Spring. This issue we take a look at what you need to do next before summer arrives - it’s time to start work on the busy springtime schedule! (If you didn’t get chance to read the article, you can view it online – just go to www.simply-holbeach.co.uk and check out the ‘Advice’ section!) In anticipation of the good weather to come, we’ve put together some ideas to help you get the garden ready for spring.
Vegetable garden
Well rotted manure or compost can be dug into the veg patch to provide nutrients for hungry crops such as, brassicas, runner beans, marrows and courgets. Now is the time to plant shallot – you can replant any shallots uprooted by the birds. The first outdoor sowings can be done if the soil is workable. Sow a succession of early maturing beetroot, spring onions and radish and cover with polythene or fleece cloches. There is still time to plant garlic cloves for an autumn harvest. Choose your seed potatoes and place first and second early varieties in tray, ‘rose’ end upwards, from which the shoots develop. A light, frost free position is necessary to successfully ‘chit’ the tubers.
Fruit garden
As long as the ground is not waterlogged or frozen, fruit trees and bushes can be planted now to establish before the drier summer months arrive. Continue winter pruning apples, pears, nectars and quinces and check grease bands are still secure and sticky to reduce the incidence of codling moth

damage to the fruit. Consider applying a spring wash to fruit trees to kill overwintering adult bugs and eggs lodged in the bark fissures. If you haven’t done so cut out last year’s fruited raspberry canes and tie in the new ones to wire supports. Cut back all autumn fruiting raspberry canes to ground level. Prune currant bushes accordingly and protect swelling buds from birds with netting. Mature rhubarb crowns can be covered with a dustbin to produce tender rhubarb stalks. If you haven’t done so already, remove the dustbin. Hand pollinate any early peach or nectarine flowers on wall trained bushes.
The glasshouse
Make use of the empty glasshouse by planting up several pots and large containers with first early seed potatoes. Avoid putting too many tubers in the pot and protect emerging shoots from frost with fleece or newspaper. Dwarf beans, peas and strawberries can also be planted into large containers for an early harvest. All containers can be removed from the glasshouse when risk of frost has passed to make room for the traditional tomato and cucumber crops in late April. If you grew overwintering lettuce after the tomatoes were removed in September, keep an eye open for grey mould and ventilate freely during the day. Seed trays should be sterilised and summer bedding seeds sown now. Place trays in a heated propagator to germinate and watch out for the tell tale signs of damping off. Apply a copper based fungicide if observed. Peppers, both sweet and chili varieties need a long growing season to ripen their fruits. Sow now and place pots in a heated propagator.
Borders and beds
Remove any weed growth and apply a generous mulch of well composted manure to the flower beds and around established shrubs. Repot container grown shrubs and Hostas if necessary using a loam based compost and check the drainage holes are not blocked. Many flowering shrubs can be pruned back now including hydrangeas, some spiraea and ornamental elders. Summer flowering clematis will also benefit from a hard prune back to help healthy swelling buds. Now is the time to get hedgerows established before the summer. Why not try a native hedgerow mix to encourage wildlife into your garden?
Around the garden
Scatter a good all round feed such as bone meal or grow more around the borders and gently fork in to the soil to help give your plants a good start. After the wet winter the patio will be looking a bit dirty too. Moss and slime will be in abundance, but cleaning it can be so easy. There are now slab and patio cleaners that require virtually no work, simply mix up into a watering can and water on and then simply leave and let the cleaner do the work. It really can be that easy. For the more tricky areas in between the slabs or block paving, get a block paving brush, with its angled wire brush it will easily get in between the cracks and make it easy to clean.
Happy gardening! Compiled with help from Graham Eblethwaite, Russell Holmes and Dean Coad of Baytree Garden Centre.

pring arrived on March 20th and its time to consider the annual spring clean and possible redecoration, also some home maintenance may be required.
On older properties a full inspection should be carried out, taking an in depth look at the wiring, the distribution board, and full testing of all circuits within the property. This inspection usually takes many hours on a 3 – 4 bedroom house including the testing of smoke and heat detectors. On completion a full Periodic Inspection Certificate and Report (PIR) should be issued. The report should enable any other registered company to give a detailed quotation for any remedial works required. This could also be the best time to have that extra light or power points installed, or perhaps a replacement distribution board before any decorations are carried out.

If your home is over 10 years old, British Standards recommend that you have your house wiring checked. This might be a simple visual inspection which is often classed as a free inspection, but we go a little further. We’ll carry out additional testing with a test meter, inspecting the inside of some sockets and switches and the distribution board (fuse board) also checking the main earth etc. This we do make a charge for to cover our costs.

Replacing an existing kitchen is one of the most expensive and disruptive tasks that you can undertake. Before you make the decision to rip everything out and start again, there are a couple of things to consider: – • Are you currently in your forever home? • Does you current kitchen work? • What budget do you realistically have?
Refurbish If you are not in your forever home and plan to sell your property within the next couple of years, consider if replacing your existing kitchen is worth the expense, time and effort.
ensure the new ones do not obstruct anything • If you are replacing your worktop, check for joints and know where they are positioned • If you are replacing any appliances, spend time measuring to ensure your replacement items will fit safely and securely • Any gas appliances need to be disconnected and fitted by a registered gas fitter
your kitchen, this could be anything from somewhere to entertain, to having a built in wine rack. Write everything down, no matter how unachievable you think it might be.
Whatever you can afford, it might not give you the dream kitchen you were hoping for, but it will certainly help to make your home more presentable when the time comes to put your house on the market. Just remember when choosing your colours and design the kitchen is one of the major selling points so don’t put potential buyers off by opting for something too bizarre!
Once you have set your budget and agreed on the expectations from your new kitchen, it is time to think about the layout, design and colour. Remember that you don’t want to be changing your kitchen again anytime soon, so spend time shopping around looking for styles and designs that you like.
Replace
If your current layout works and the cabinet carcasses are still in good working order then why go to the heartache of replacing them? You can achieve a If you are fortunate enough to be in your forever home completely new look simply by updating some of the the first thing to consider is what you want from your existing fittings. Not only will this be considerably kitchen.

You can gain a total new look by stripping the kitchen back to the bare carcass and replacing all fittings. However, if your budget doesn’t stretch that far, don’t worry, consider what combination of changes will give you the best results; a fresh new colour on the walls and ceiling, new handles on the cabinet doors and some trendy new tiles can help to transform a dated look.

Next consider what budget you have. Plans never quite go to plan so make sure you have a little extra cash in reserve, just in case.
Once you have an idea of style and colour, get your kitchen designed by a professional – many of the DIY stores offer free design and planning. They will come out to your home and talk to you about your expectations. Go through your wish list – but be aware you may have to compromise. They will take measurements and note where the current services are located and provide you with a printed plan. Whether you use the company or go elsewhere is up to you, however, unless you are a craftsman by trade, it is advisable to get your kitchen fitted by professionals. Like anything in this world, you get what you pay for, but if you give time to research your dream kitchen thoroughly, you will find some excellent value for money out there.
If you opt for a full refurbishment consider using a local kitchen refurbishment company who will complete the work for you. However, if you are happy to take on the challenge yourself make sure that you do the following: • Measure all of your current kitchen doors, side panels and kickboards and then measure them again • Make sure you can purchase replacements of the same size, check the positioning of the hinges • Think about door handles and what style is required to check out the new site for local residents, find local businesses, advice, events, items for sale and exclusive offers

Peugeot 308 CC GT HDi 140
A
ccording to a study by inrix, a leading provider of traffic information, uk drivers sit idle in traffic 46 hours per year on average - twice as long as commuters in the us. The research shows that UK roads are busiest on a Monday morning during rush hour, whilst US citizens tend to be keen to escape the city on a Friday afternoon, as this is when they get stuck in the worst traffic of the week. However, the UK is doing a much better job managing traffic congestion in its major urban centres than its US counterparts. That might not be a consolation when you still spend almost two days stuck in traffic every year at this side of the pond.
However, what might provide some relief while stuck in the jams is Peugeot’s stylish 308 CC. The French-made coupe cabriolet is based on the sub-structure of the popular 308 hatch. It comes with air conditioning, a leather steering wheel and centre armrest storage as standard. In-car entertainment is provided by a six speaker radio/CD player and audio pack with remote control. Safety and security features include an electric folding retractable roof, six airbags, unfastened seatbelt detection system and ESP (Electronic Stability Programme).
engine. My 2.0-litre 140bhp oil-burner came with features including leather trim, a windstop, larger 18” alloy wheels, tyre pressure sensor, and front and rear parking aids. The excellent Airwave neck heating system, similar to that in the Mercedes SLK, is standard equipment on the GT – and great for taking the chill out of open top driving. Further features include an electric pack, which includes electric seat adjustment.
When you get on the move, the HDi turbodiesel engine is refined and the sixspeed manual transmission is slick. With The most fun part of the car – the folding 192lb-ft of pulling power, the engine roof - only takes 20 seconds to lower. With response, even at low engine speeds, is just a press of a switch it stows neatly into first rate and it pulls right through the the boot. That means not a lot of luggage rev range, meaning less gear changing is can be stored with the roof down, but if needed. you’re in the market Top speed for the Peugeot 308 CC GT HDi for a convertible, cargo 140 is 129mph and the official 0-62mph space isn’t necessarily time is 11.1 seconds. That’s surprising first on your list of because the 308 CC feels quicker off the priorities. mark. The coupe cabriolet makes up for it The range-topping though by returning just under 50mpg, GT model can be making it an economical car as well as a specified with a pleasurable one to drive or simply sit in petrol or a diesel when you’re stuck in rush hour traffic.
