Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows.

The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director John Kendall feels that it’s all about service.

‘Our product is simple.

If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although

that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service the Mansfield & Chesterfield areas and John is finding that his approach is a major factor

in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for,

which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give John a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

The Difficult Patch

Every garden has a couple of problem patches. I’m often asked which plants I’d recommend for a problem area and two which always crop up are damp shade and dry shade.

Let’s deal with damp shade first. It’s actually less of a problem than you might expect. Okay, you’ll never grow a good lawn there, bulbs will rot, and sun-loving annuals won’t thrive, but there are loads of plants that will look wonderful. The trick in the case of damp shade is to go for leaf colour, plant form, and texture.

Ajuga is excellent for ground cover. A. metallica has purple leaves and tiny blue flowers and A. reptans ‘Variegata’ is a pretty variegated cream and green variety.

Astilbe does very well in damp shade; it has impressive red, pink or white flowery plumes depending on the variety chosen.

Hostas are also a good choice, though in damp conditions you’ll need to be on slugwatch! If your shade is very dense then don’t choose golden varieties as the colour will fade. Hostas look wonderful planted with primulas, which also do well in these conditions.

Bergenias are attractive but tough enough for dry shade and their leathery leaves colour well in the autumn, particularly Bergenia cordifolia purpurea. The pink flowered varieties are the most commonly seen but there are red and white varieties too. I have a ‘Bressingham White’ which is quite lovely.

My favourite plant for dry shade is the Euphorbia. Not all varieties are suited to these conditions but E. amygdaloides with it’s red stems and lime-green flower heads will generally do very well.

Solomon’s Seal (polygonatum multiflorum) is another standby. It looks like a large lily of the valley and the variegated variety is very pretty.

The trick with problem areas is to embrace them as part of your garden Treated as a gardening challenge they can be fun to plant and you’ll feel a tremendous sense of achievement when you do succeed. Happy planting!

Rachel Leverton

Some ferns love damp shade, including the Maidenhair fern, Adiantum pedatum; most varieties of dryopteris, and the ostrich feather fern, Matteuccia struthiopteris.

Dry shade is definitely trickier. I don’t recommend fighting Mother Nature but I do think dry shade is one area where she sometimes needs a hand, so enrich dry soil with compost, wellrotted horse manure, or spent mushroom compost before planting, as this will encourage some moisture retention.

The Festival Of Learning

We tend to think of education as something which stops when you reach adulthood, but lifelong learning can open up many new avenues.

From learning a new hobby, such as sewing, ballet, or art, to mastering a skill that can boost your career-progression, adult education can enrich your life and open up new opportunities.

The Festival of Learning aims runs from 1st May to 30th June and aims to inspire people to learn a new skill. There are taster sessions and activities planned across the country, many of which are free.

Events include careers advice sessions, college open days and ‘have a go’ sessions, where you could try your hand at everything from computing to cookery.

If you haven’t heard of the Festival of Learning before, that may be because it was called Adult Learners’ Week for 24 years. I think the Festival of Learning sounds rather more enjoyable, and there are certainly some promising events and activities lined up for this year.

The Festival of Learning culminates in an awards ceremony in September, where inspiring learners, tutors, education providers and employers are recognised for their achievements.

“I just felt a sense of worth.”

“I decided that I was going to take myself to university because my children needed someone to give them a better life and I was the only person that could do that.”

“I have found my passion in life.”

“You’re always learning, right up until that last breath goes. That’s what life is.”

There were more than 3,000 events held across the UK last year, and this year’s Festival of Learning looks to be even bigger.

Most people have something they would like to learn, whether it’s how to manage the family finances better, how to plaster a wall, how to programme a computer, or how to write a screenplay!

As Adele Tilley says, “Good luck on your journey and remember – many things that are worth doing are not easy and many things that are easy are not worth doing!

Go for it – what do you have to lose? In fact, maybe you have more to gain?”

If you fancy taking up the challenge of trying out a new experience for yourself, check out the Festival of Learning website at: www.festivaloflearning.org.uk

By Kate Duggan

Last year’s winner in the learner category, Adele Tilley, credits education for helping her to leave an abusive relationship, let go of friends and situations that were dragging her down, and carve out a new life for her and her children.

Thousands of people took part last year.

Comments included: “It was like someone had turned a light switch back on, that had been turned off for lots and lots of years.”

“I’m not too old!”

National Picnic Week

The weather’s warming up, so why not get outside and go for a picnic?

11-19 June is National Picnic Week: a celebration of picnicking that’s been happening in the UK for over a decade.

Some see picnics as a romantic affair to be shared with a loved one, fine foods and a bottle of champagne. For others it’s an inexpensive family day out and often a reminder of childhood days. Or it could be a chance to spend time with friends, choosing to meet at a given location and each bringing along their favourite food and drinks to share.

The Oxford Dictionary describes a picnic as ‘an occasion when a packed meal is eaten outdoors, especially during an outing to the countryside.’

Whilst many do choose a countryside spot for their picnic there are many other options including local parks, the grounds of stately homes, the seaside and riverside settings.

You can find recommendations for places to enjoy your picnic on the National Picnic Week website: www.nationalpicnicweek. co.uk or you could try asking friends for their preferences.

Carrying your picnic on a bike ride can create extra difficulties but add to the fun.

Utilise specialist plastic containers, cling film, foil and sandwich bags, or buy items pre-packed. You could even splash out on a traditional picnic hamper.

You can now buy a wide range of stylish brightly coloured plastic plates, cutlery and cups to enhance your experience. It’s a good idea to remember to take napkins or kitchen roll and some wet wipes, as eating a picnic can get a little messy, particularly if you are sat on a picnic rug rather than at a table. Do take some bags for your rubbish too; never leave litter behind.

It’s not just about the food and drink.

Most picnics include some form of group exercise such as a walk, cycle, swim or game of rounders, in addition to a good laugh and a chat. This makes picnics a stress-busting, healthy activity.

And if the weather isn’t kind you can still create a picnic atmosphere indoors. You could even try a ‘carpet picnic’ at home.

Kids love them!

By Susan Brookes-Morris

For many people a picnic consists of traditional items such as sandwiches, crisps, boiled eggs and cakes or fruit. Research shows however that Mediterranean options such as deli-style meats, olives, humus and crackers are also now commonly included and some choose to create items from special picnic recipe books.

One of the tricks of picnicking successfully is packaging items correctly to ensure food is not squashed beyond recognition and drinks don’t leak.

The Fabulous World Of Nail Art

People have been painting their nails for thousands of years. A decade ago one could only choose between a coloured polish or a French manicure.

onto a flat glass surface, and a darker shade above it. Altogether, the painted area on the glass should be just longer than your nail.

But recently nail art has taken off, with elaborate designs featuring everything from geometric patterns to miniature landscapes. Nail art ranges from simple stripes, to incredibly intricate creations, some of which can take hours to produce.

Mix the shades together slightly where they meet. Lightly press a makeup sponge into the polish, then roll it onto your nail.

For the fancier designs and best results, visit a nail salon. There are plenty of standalone salons across the country, as well as smaller nail bars in spas, department stores and beauty salons.

If you have time, patience and a steady hand however, you could try the following designs at home, particularly if you have a willing friend to help out…

Monochrome - Try painting half a nail black, and the other half white, or go for a more detailed design, such as zebra print.

Embellishments - Stick on nail gems are easy to apply, although they don’t tend to last very long! Try a line along the cuticle, or one small gem on each nail.

For best results, allow plenty of time for each colour to dry, before applying the next shade, to avoid smudging. You may also want to add a clear top coat, to help your creation last longer.

Have fun!

Kate Duggan

Flags - Many countries’ flags are quite simple to recreate. You could paint each nail with the same flag, or go for a full United Nations range of designs. Flags are ideal for celebrating sporting events, such as UEFA Euro 2016 or Rugby Union.

Polka dot - Paint each nail with a base colour and allow to dry before dotting on different colours.

Stripes - Fun for summer, stripes can conjure up images of seaside deckchairs or Breton t-shirts. Stripes across the nail can be slightly harder to get right, so you may prefer to work from the nail bed to the tip.

All that glitters - This look is easy to create, but effective. Paint your nails with a high shine metallic polish, such as Nars’ in Milos Rich Gold. While wet, sprinkle over some fine glitter. Alternatively, choose a polish which already has added sparkle, such as L’Oreal’s Color Riche Gold Dust.

Ombre - With this look you want to create a gradient of colour. Start by painting the lightest shade onto your nail and leaving it to dry. Then paint a band of the light shade

Get Started With Family History

You know when a new series of Long Lost Families has returned to TV because of the loud sniffs and copious tears witnessed in our front room, as we watch people being reunited after years of separation.

It’s one of several TV programmes designed to bring families - past and present, alive or dead together again. Others include Heir Hunters and Who Do You Think You Are? I’m addicted to them all!

A keen family historian since my teens, I can to some degree tell you who I think I am. Though I was born in the north of England, for generations my dad’s family were humble farm workers from Suffolk.

My mum’s granddad was an illiterate cockney who delivered the marble staircase that sits in Madame Tussaud’s. My maternal grandma was born in Sheffield and lived to be 98 years old. Her parents’ marriage caused a family feud that resulted in grandma being placed in an orphanage at the age of three.

There are sad stories that break your heart, and heart-warming tales that give hope and encouragement. But whatever your research reveals, you will find it hard to remain unmoved.

So, if you have never done family history before, how do you get started? First, write down what you know already. List the full names, birthdays, marriage and death dates of people known to you.

Ask relatives for information (particularly older ones who have been around longer), and refer to birth, marriage and death certificates if you have them to verify information and give you extra details such as place names.

Next, visit websites devoted to family research, where you can look up information, order certificates and record your details. Some of the most popular include My Heritage, Ancestry and Find My Past.

14

In most cases there is a charge for their services, but there are various payment options and generally they are not too expensive.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints hosts a website called Family Search which offers free membership and exchange of information with other likeminded people. It is one of the largest databases in the world and is a great starting place for beginners.

In addition, you can subscribe to websites (often for free) or purchase software to help you organise and manage your information.

Family Tree Maker and Family Roots are two that I am familiar with. In addition to entering names and details, you can upload photos and videos and really start building up a picture of what you and your relatives are like.

Once you start your research, you will become part of a community that is friendly, helpful and really feels like family.

Good luck!

Your spending will boost the local economy. Research on spending by local authorities shows that for every £1 spent with a small or medium-sized business 63p stayed in the local economy, compared to 40p with a larger business.

When you shop at local butchers, bakers, farm shops and green grocers, it is likely that a decent percentage of the produce has had a short field-to-fork journey. Along with supporting local farmers, it means the food is likely to contain more nutrients and have less packaging.

Independent shops often stock items which are made locally and aren’t available elsewhere: buy a dress by a fledgling designer and there is little chance of turning up to the office Christmas party wearing the same as someone else.

No one can argue that nothing compares to the experience of physically touching merchandise. Many scientific studies even stated that touching things that we love before we buy them results in a physical effect like a euphoric state which leads many to associate shopping as a feel-good experience, hence the term “retail therapy”.

between seller and buyer, initiating trust and guarantee which can make most customers feel good about a purchase.

Best of all, customers can take home their purchase the day they bought it, rather than having to wait for delivery when ordering online.

There is also a risk with 48 % of e-commerce sites saying that they have a return rate of between 25 and 50% the main drivers being because they don’t fit and because they don’t like the quality.

But beyond the physical effects of retail, shopping in a real store gives customers the opportunity to really inspect the merchandise they buy for quality. If one chooses to buy big items like furniture, customers can try out the product and see if they are comfortable with it.

Brick and mortar shops also give this “adventure” kind of hype and elevate the sense of satisfaction in discovering rare finds or great bargains. Sometimes, talking directly to a store owner, a customer can negotiate to lower the price of a product.

The human contact also creates a bond

Stay Safe This Summer

As wonderful as Britain can be, it’s not famously known for its long blisteringly hot summers. However everyone is exposed to the sun in some way.

Up to 40% of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation reaches the earth on a completely cloudy day, leaving us exposed to the sun even when we don’t realise it. For this reason, we should be putting on sun protection on a daily basis to help protect our skin. After all the sun’s rays may be invisible to the naked eye but the effects on the skin are clear…

While exposure to sunlight is vital to the production of vitamin D for healthy bones and teeth, it also emits a variety of harmful rays. Until recently the awareness has been around UVB and UVA. However, there are other rays that can have a negative effect on our skin accelerating its ageing.

routines. SPF is the level of protection given against UVB rays.

Meanwhile, UVA protection can be recognised through star ratings or a symbol on the bottle. Many brands have come up with ways to extend the life of these filters on the skin.

But regardless of how long the protection claims to last, no sunscreen should be expected to keep skin protected for longer than two hours without reapplication, due to activities that reduce its effectiveness such as sweating, swimming and towelling.

BE SAFE THIS SUMMER!!!!!

Around 98% of the population purchase sunscreen protection before going on holiday. Sun protection factor (SPF) resources can be found in moisturisers and other skin care products, making them easier to incorporate into everyday

A Good Read

The Wedding Girl by Sophie Kinsella Sophie Kinsella is best known for her Shopaholic series of books, but it is well worth reading this older novel, first published in 1999 under her real name, Madeleine Wickham.

Milly is about to marry the man of her dreams.

The son of a successful millionaire business man, her future seems assured. Okay, so Simon and his father don’t get on, and he insists on making his own way in the world without any help, but he dotes on Milly and she loves him. A society wedding is planned complete with giant marquee, oysters, a cake which arrives in 10 boxes, and two giant ice swans.

But then the wedding photographer arrives to stay at her parents’ B&B. He and Milly recognise each other, though at first she doesn’t know from where. When the penny drops Milly is struck with fear.

A chance encounter on a college lawn in Oxford ten years ago when she was a naïve 18-year-old had led to a rash decision which now has ramifications and threatens to bring her dream wedding crashing down. Can she find a way to fix this, or will she have to tell Simon the truth?

A slow burner that picks up pace as it progresses. In Milly the author created a very different protagonist compared with Becky in her later Shopaholic books. Milly has flaws so she’s less immediately likeable than Becky. And the novel lacks some of the frivolity of the classic chic-lit genre but this is not necessarily a bad thing, and it is interesting to see how an author’s style develops with time.

Starring Sally J Freedman as Herself by Judy Blume For a lot of women today Judy Blume books formed an important part of our childhood so it is good to see that they are entertaining a new generation. Starring

22

Sally J Freedman as Herself is one of her least known novels but it’s a gem.

It is 1947 and Sally J Freedman is a 10-year-old girl living in New Jersey. Stories of the war in Europe still have an impact on her. She receives the news that her family is moving south to Miami Beach in order to help her sick brother who needs a warmer climate.

Sally soon realises that life in the southern states of America is very different to the life she has lived in New Jersey. Segregation is still an issue in the late 1940s and Sally is shocked to discover that a black family on the sleeper train that they are travelling on have been asked to move to a different carriage.

In addition to racism the novel also touches on the issue of anti-Semitism. Sally is Jewish and she meets a man living in her building in Miami. She notices a similarity between him and Hitler and becomes convinced that he is indeed Hitler, living out his retirement in America. Although Sally doesn’t realise it he will help her come to terms with the war and the deaths of some of her relatives in the Holocaust.

Sally’s imagination is the novel’s playground, as she plays an heroic role in many scenarios which help her cope with the changes in her otherwise mundane life. This is the most autobiographical of Blume’s novels and she has admitted that Sally is her, aged ten. Sally dreams of meeting her favourite Hollywood movie stars, including Esther Williams, and child star Margaret O’Brien.

Sometimes as children we face situations we can’t hope to make sense of so Sally turns to her imagination to cope with this difficult year in her life. This is a delightful coming of age novel all about discovering that the world is maybe not how we might want it to be.

Midsummer’s Day

The longest day of the year comes all too soon in my opinion. Just three weeks after the arrival of summer on 1st June, the summer solstice (21st June) has passed and we have winter to look forward to again.

It’s all to do with which calendar we follow. The astronomical calendar has summer starting in March when we put our clocks forward an hour, whereas the meteorological summer runs from June to August.

Our ancestors - in awe of the power of the sun - celebrated the summer solstice by lighting bonfires to protect against evil spirits. They also built stone circles, set in alignment with the rising of the sun, such as those at Stonehenge.

Midsummer’s Eve was a time for fairies (hence Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream) and flowers, which were placed under the pillow to induce important dreams about future loves.

This mixture of calendars is indicative of the mixed-up celebration Midsummer’s Day has become. Like many other ancient traditions, it has its roots in pagan Britain but has been adopted and adapted to fit in with Christian beliefs.

Christians celebrate the birth of St. John the Baptist on Midsummer’s Day (24th June). Mystery plays, based on biblical events, are performed at this time of year, particularly in cathedral cities such as Chester, Lincoln and York.

National Fish & Chip Day

Despite competition from rival takeaway dishes, fish and chips continue to be the nation’s favourite fast food, with around 382 million portions being consumed each year!

Fried fish and chips were first served together around 1860 and ‘The Oldest Fish and Chip Shop in the World’ can be found in Yeadon near Leeds, which has been open since 1865.

Cheap, readily accessible, hot and nutritious, fish and chips became a staple food among factory and mill workers in the industrial north, and continued as such during both World Wars, when it remained free of ration restrictions.

Some shops cook in oil, others in lard or dripping. Most areas offer mushy peas and curry sauce, but my (Northern) family were most disappointed when we arrived in Dover after a chip-free week in France to discover that gravy was not on the local menu!

To celebrate the nation’s favourite dish, National Fish and Chip Day is being held on Friday 3rd June, which will bring together everyone involved in creating this iconic British food. Please visit www. nationalfishandchipday.org.uk for more details.

Though often criticised as unhealthy, fish and chips are actually a valuable source of protein, fibre, iron and vitamins, and when cooked properly contain only around 10% fat.

How fish and chips are served can vary.
