Editors words So as the Cliff Richard song goes “We’re all going on a summer holiday” Yes folks summer is finally here and according to the weather forecasters its going to be a good one but don’t take my word on that. All though you know what summer means school holidays! Look out parents those little angels become the bane of our life especially if you are working parents trying to shuffle those shift patterns around whilst the company rules say no time off in July/August lol.

Your Garden In July

Fling the doors open to the garden and head outside! Summer is here and what better way to spend your free time than being outside and enjoying your beautiful flower filled garden. Keep plants looking good by regularly deadheading and you’ll enjoy a longer display of bloom. Make sure you keep new plants well hydrated to get them through those long, hot days and hoe off those pesky weeds, which can thrive in the sunshine. Although this still can be a busy time in the garden, don’t forget to find the time to sit back and relax so that you can enjoy all the hard work you’ve put in to achieve your beautiful display.

The essential gardening jobs for July FEED, WEED, AND DEADHEAD Adding a liquid feed to your weekly watering regime will give a much needed boost to hanging baskets, container and borders helping them to produce more flowers and, in some cases encouraging a second flourish of flowers late in the season. Bedding plants, roses and many other perennials will also benefit from regular deadheading.

With Hanging baskets a bit of common sense goes a long way. Try lifting a container or basket. Does if feel light or under watered? How does the compost look? Is it pale and shrunken away from the sides? Dig into the compost with your fingers. Does it feel dry? It should be moist but not dripping wet. During prolonged dry spells, water at least once a day.

PLANT OF THE MONTH: Salvia

SPEND SOME LAZY HOURS IN THE GARDEN

How should you plant them? Plant in full sun, with very well drained soil, and water well when it’s dry. Trim in the spring to maintain shape and deadhead once the flowers start to fade.

A member of the sage family. Salvias are diverse group of plants ranging from annuals to herbaceous perennials and herbs Why should you plant them? With flowers that are popular with wildlife, they not only deliver colour and fragrance but are also great at attracting bees and butterflies. Salvias are long flowering with the potential to put on a great show from June through much of the summer and in to autumn.

This will prolong the flowering period making the garden more attractive and will also prevent the plants from putting their energy in to seed heads. Simply pinch off the fading flowers, or for tougher branches use secateurs. Don’t forget to keep weeds down they steal vital moisture and nutrients. Kill them by regularly hoeing borders and vegetable patches. Larger weeds should be dug out or pulled up by hand.

After all your hard work, enjoy the sunshine and laze in your garden.

Is My Will Valid? Clients often ask: ‘How do I know if my Will is valid?’; ‘How long does my Will stay valid for?’ and; ‘Can I make any changes to my Will?’ This article will address these questions as well as some rumours that have done the rounds regarding the validity of Wills. ‘How do I know my Will is valid?’ As soon as your Will has been signed correctly it becomes a valid legal document. You must also have two witnesses present with you as you sign the Will. Your witnesses can be anybody you like, but they cannot be beneficiaries or be married to or is a civil partner of a beneficiary otherwise they would not be entitled to gain anything from the estate. ‘How long does my Will stay valid for?’ We have heard reports of people in certain professions such as teachers being contacted to tell them that the law has changed thus invalidating their Will. Another rumour is that after 3 years have passed a Will is no longer valid, however this is simply not the case as there are no time limits placed on Wills. Once it is signed it becomes a valid legal document and will stand until you either write a new one or destroy it. It is worth bearing in mind that marriage revokes a Will unless the Will says otherwise.

Can I make any changes to my Will?’ It is advisable to review and update your Will periodically, usually every 3-5 years, especially if there are any changes in your personal circumstances such as marriage/divorce or the birth of any children/ grand children that you’d like to provide for. If you think your Will needs changing or updating in any way, we strongly advise against making any amendments yourself. Please do not write on, or pin/ clip anything to your Will as this can often lead to questions around your intentions and may also not be legally valid. It may also lead someone to believe your Will has been tampered with which could bring about a claim on your estate after you have passed potentially causing a lot of heartache for your family and unnecessary expense. If you need to make any changes, small additions can be made by way of a codicil however it’s advisable to instead have an entirely new Will written to avoid any uncertainty. I offer a completely free Will review, which will tell you whether changes are indeed necessary and if so, how best to make them. If you do not yet have a Will, or would like to talk over an existing Will, please call me direct on either 07990 735494 or 01173 343033. If you prefer, we can arrange a convenient time for me to pop round and we can chat through your situation over a coffee.

Spider man Far from Home

The month of July sees the summer movie season get well underway at your local Cineworld, with everything from technologically staggering Disney remakes to comedic zombie romps ready for you to witness. There’s something for everybody hitting the big screen, so let’s dive in. First up, Spidey swings his way back into an Avengers-less world as part of Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 2nd. The superhero sequel sees Peter Parker and his group of friends alive and unsnapped, this time visiting a host of European capital cities as part of a school trip. It isn’t long before Spider-Man’s web-swinging efforts are needed again, however, teaming up with Nick Fury to take down the otherworldly Elementals running rampant.

The Lion King

Then, on July 12th, it’s back-to-back laughs in the form of deadpan Zom-Com The Dead Don’t Die and R-rated action comedy Stuber. The former will have you belly aching with laughter at the efforts of a local police force taking on the zombie hordes, while the Dave Bautista/Kumail Nanjiani team-up sees a lowly Uber driver and police detective hilariously on the trail of a terrorist. Finally, it’s what Disney fanatics have been waiting for. Jon Favreau’s The Lion King sees the return of James Earl Jones as Mufasa, welcoming newcomers Donald Glover, Beyoncé and Seth Rogen as Simba, Nala and Pumba respectively. Can you feel the love tonight? You will when it releases this July 19th.

City & Port of Bristol Bowls Club Saturday 25th May ---- Summer Tour time once again and this year’s destination was Sidmouth and the splendid Royal York and Faulkner Hotel. Built in 1810 it was the first purpose built Hotel in the town. Situated close to the sea and the shops it proved to be an excellent choice as tour base. Thirty two bowlers and four supporters from City and Port of Bristol ,Bristol, Severnvale, Henleaze and Bristol Arrow --- including four first time tourists with the club --- Dennis Gazzard, Peter Cornish, Maureen Bristow and Pam Wright.

This was the last tour to be arranged by Lis Davies --- with support from Bill Hatherall and Ken Davies. But this is not the end of the road for the summer tour ---- a tour committee has formed and tour 2020 is already planned at Eastbourne late in August. Returning from tour, the Ladies League Team were in action a day after with a game against Olveston B and they took the full eight points --- winning both rinks and the game overall. The following Wednesday and a visit to Henleaze brought another overall win and another six points. A very wet morning at Page Park saw the ladies loose a well contested game in the Top Club Competition before they played Greenbank at home in the league on Friday 14th June and won the game, taking six of the available eight points to boost their position in the league at the half way stage in the league season.

Enjoying six games of bowls in six days --- at different clubs each day --- Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, Seaton, Ottery St.Mary and Culm Valley --- a great week and there was still time to explore Sidmouth and the surrounding area.

At the end of each day there was there was a reward for the best winning rink but also a duck ---- not a real one ---- for the rink losing by the most shots. At the end of the week there were prizes for the best man and the best lady bowler. This year’s winners were ---- Top Bowler Ken and Jenny Gardiner.

Julie Looker won a famous victory in the first round of the Ladies Champion of Champions against Lindsay Collin in May to earn a second round game against Christine Batt of Henleaze, at home, in June. It was a well contested game which Julie lead for a long time but eventually lost 21-17. A great performance by Julie.

It’s not too late to try bowling this season ---- call David Hinksman to arrange a try bowling session on Tuesday evenings from 6pm. This is completely free and without obligation. Call David Hinksman on 0117 9082713 to arrange.

Summer is coming our way and that can only mean one thing… it’s time to heat up the barbecue.

Recipe: Rice and mixed bean salad Serves 4 Ready in 25 minutes

Janice Young, who runs a Slimming World groups in Sea Mills and Patchway , says: "On hot summer days like these, staying on track with your weight loss might be even more challenging than usual. However, losing weight doesn’t mean you have to miss out and barbecues are brilliant if you’re trying to be healthy.

Ingredients: 250g dried basmati and wild rice 400g can mixed beans, drained and rinsed 400g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed 8 spring onions, finely sliced 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped Large handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped Juice of 2 large lemons, plus wedges to serve 100g reduced-fat feta

Janice continues: "Slimming World’s Food Optimising eating plan allows slimmers to fill up on plenty of healthy foods – that also happen to be barbecue favorites – such as potatoes, rice and lean meats. So you can join in the fun without jeopardising your weight loss."

Method Cook the rice according to the packet instructions, adding the mixed beans and chickpeas for the final 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add the spring onions, tomatoes, chilli and coriander and stir well.

To prove her point, Janice will share some summertime scorchers to help you stay focused whatever the occasion. From a refreshing salad this month to grilled chicken next month and gorgeous, juicy burger – these delicious Slimming World recipes are guaranteed to satisfy your appetite all while protecting your weight loss.

Drizzle the lemon juice, crumble over the feta and season to taste. Cool, cover and chill until you’re ready to eat. Serve with lemon wedges.

Tomato and feta tarts Ingredients 1 pack ready rolled all butter puff pastry 2 tbsp Sundried tomato paste/ pesto Couple of handfuls of cherry tomatoes ¼ tsp dried oregano/ basil 200g feta, crumbled Egg wash

Method Preheat oven to 220C/ fan200C. Divide the pastry into 6 even pieces. Place the pastry on a lined baking tray. Make an incision 1/2 cm from the edge of the pastry. Spoon 1 tsp of the paste/ pesto onto each of the tarts and smooth out over the pastry. Slice the tomatoes in half across the equator and place seed side up on the pastry Divide the feta on the pastry and sprinkle with the herbs. Brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash. Bake for around 20 minutes in the top third of the oven until pastry is golden and puffed up at the edges. Enjoy whilst warm with a side salad.

The “Registered Office” This may seem like a dry and mundane subject but how many people use their home as their registered office? It is convenient – granted, but it has risks. TV Bailiff star Matthew Heighway, a High Court Enforcement Officer, was cleared of wrongdoing in a case where he gained access to a private house to remove assets to the value of £10,000. The reason he had gone to the house was it was the Registered Office of a failed and closed down hotel group.

The simple way to avoid any such difficulties and ensure all of the Company statutory paperwork is completed, is use a third party Registered Office such as an accountant. This way the possibility of any such bailiff action to your personal and private property is eliminated. TSA Chartered Certified Accountants are the Registered Office for multiple companies providing a mailing address for Companies House documentation, looking after and processing statutory returns as required, and providing that all important buffer between Directors and government agencies.

TSA are “personable” and “friendly” accountants and business advisors who will ensure you are set up properly and safely. www.tsabusinessadvisors.co.uk 01179235394 enquiries@tsabusinessadvisors.co.uk

Caught by the pension tax trap?

Those looking to cash in part, or all, of their personal pension need to check they don’t pay too much tax. Pension freedom rules allow anyone aged 55 or over to access their personal pension funds, there are complex rules on how withdrawals are taxed. Problems can occur if you take a one-off lump sum – an ‘uncrystallised fund pension lump sum withdrawal’ (UFPLS) – perhaps to reinvest or to pay off debts. This differs from using a personal pension to provide a regular income, through a drawdown plan or annuity. Your pension provider will apply an emergency tax code, which assumes you are withdrawing the UFPLS on a monthly basis, unless it has an up-to date tax code for you. For example, if you take a UFPLS of £10,000 at the start of the tax year, HMRC may assume you will take an income of £120,000 across the year from your pension and tax you accordingly. If it is a one-off withdrawal, you are likely to pay too much tax.

Price includes individual consultation and your will being professionally produced by Goodwills legal Services ltd, a regulated law firm.

Avoiding the charge As emergency tax codes are generally only applied the first-time people access their pension funds, one option is to make your first withdrawal a nominal amount, say £100. The emergency tax code is still applied, but this triggers HMRC to adjust your tax code and send an updated version to your pension provider. Once the new code has been issued, any further, larger withdrawals are taxed correctly. You may be able to claim a rebate, either through your tax return at the end of the tax year, or HMRC if you need the rebate more quickly. If you are planning to withdraw a lump sum from your pension contact Bristol & West financial services. The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate tax advice. Levels and bases of taxation and tax reliefs are subject to change and their value depends on individual circumstances. Tax laws can change.
