Introduction

Welcome to your July Issue.

Welcome to July’s issue of your favourite community lifestyle magazine. As I write, I’m full of optimism after having recently spent a whole morning visiting a host of shop owners in Bourne. Monday June 15th had been earmarked weeks ago as the day when non-essential retail outlets could re-open after twelve long weeks ‘locked down’. Still very cautious and adhering to the guidelines regarding social distance, we were able to see such relief on many smiling faces, as the light at the end of this dismal old tunnel is starting to become brighter with each passing day.

Yes, it has been hell for many, with redundancies and a likely recession both being a serious threat. However, I have been so impressed with the many ways people in our area have pulled together, sharing and caring, all keen to come out of this horrible pandemic stronger than before. Those cheerful shop owners and customers sent out a message – we are now ready to get back to normal, so let’s keep on our guard, follow the advice and keep caring for each other. That optimism is tangible and hopefully reflected on many of the pages in front of you right now.

Claire x

A warm welcome to July’s issue and our first “hard copy” since March 2020. At the time of writing, Britain’s coronavirus alert level has now been reduced from four to three, so enabling the easing of even more restrictions. The nation can now move on from “Eat, Drink, Exercise, Repeat”, leaving a legacy which will remain firm in our memory. For every finely tuned, muscular “lockdown hunk”, there are well-rounded “lockdown chunks”, not to mention the “lockdown drunks.” Which one have you become?

A belated reminder that June 18th every year is “International Picnic Day”, but the lockdown will have no doubt prevented too many celebrations taking place.

However, as many of us (‘of a certain vintage’) may sometimes/always struggle with our computer, we can all anticipate at some point hearing the acronym “PICNIC” from one of our despairing offspring - Problem In Chair, Not In Computer!

And finally, we’ve had a painter and decorator round, who’s currently furloughed as a Virgin Atlantic pilot. He made a lovely job of the landing! Enjoy the read!

Looking After Your Hands

BY CLAIRE GRAY, OWNER OF RENU

T

he welfare of our hands during this coronavirus outbreak has become paramount. Your hands tell the world how healthy you are, how old you are, and how well you take care of yourself.

Now, we are diligently washing and sanitising our hands, so they are certainly clean, but beautiful hands do not usually just happen. Nails and hands need hydrating, moisturising and protecting from the elements.

Here are our top tips on how you can make your hands your best accessory

1

Keep them clean – Strong detergents and cleaning products can strip the natural oils from your hands that keep them youthful and healthy, and leaving them covered in dry, peeling skin. Use a good quality anti-bacterial hand wash and exfoliate your hands two or three times a week with a gentle exfoliator. We would recommend Decleor 1000 Grain Exfoliator which can be used all over the body.

2

Moisturise - It’s the skin on the back of your hands that will become thin and wrinkly long before your palms, so apply your hand cream to the back of your hands and only use the excess on the palms. A good quality hand cream will not leave your hands sticky and greasy. Each time you use your anti-ageing cream and serum on your face, rub the excess into the backs of your hands. As you are now washing your hands so often, make a point of moisturising the backs of your hands before bed each night. We would recommend Decleor anti-ageing hand cream.

3

Care for your cuticles – Healthy cuticles cultivate healthy nails. Make sure you rub your moisturiser into the nail and cuticle as well as your hands. Use a cuticle oil daily; this will keep the nail hydrated and promote youthful looking hands. We would recommend Orly Argon Oil Cuticle Care.

4

Problem nails – There are five different nail types so it’s very important that if you have problem nails you establish the right formula for you.

Using the wrong treatment will either elevate the problem or make no difference at all. Our therapists are trained to assess your nails and recommend the correct formula for you, depending on your nails’ needs. Regular use of the correct formula will solve the problem within six weeks.

5

Nourish, protect, polish - Beautifully polished nails promote a well-groomed appearance and can create a more youthful appearance.

A base coat is really important to protect the nail bed. Whilst the polish will help protect the nail from the elements, your nails also need time to breathe. If you can’t face showing them off without a polish, then make sure you use a cuticle oil on a regular basis and always remove polish with a nonacetone remover. If you are looking for a longer-lasting polish, soft gel polishes can be professionally applied at our salon and they will protect the nail and last for up to fourteen days. Hard gel polish will last much longer and can also be used to “build” the nail for more even or longer length.

If you would like more advice on which formula will work for your hands and nails, or which polish preference is best for you, then please contact Renu on 01778 423923.

Coping with the Coronavirus What does your reality of lockdown look like?

L

ockdown is a new experience for all of us, causing vast unexpected changes to our daily lives. We have been forced to adapt, allowing us to transform into a new kind of uneasy reality.

Some have found it to be a happy time, seeing it as an opportunity to take time to relax from this ever-turning world, yet others are finding it a challenge where it’s taking a very real physical and mental toll, going against the grain of what our ‘normal’ has always been seen to be.

The continuous news virus updates are putting some minds on high alert and causing increased worry about what the future really holds; causing a feeling of helplessness, worrying about the uncertain future; causing a sap in our energy and causing our immune systems to plummet. Yet, at the same time, trying to work, school at home and keep relationships healthy.

And some have even more lifechanging events, such as trying to

move house, change jobs, divorce, losing a loved one or being a carer.

All of these are more complicated than they used to be and taking a longer period of time to process, making these life-changing events even more exhausting.

It’s not surprising that, increasingly, people are turning to online hypnotherapy in lockdown for help. If anxiety, stress, depression, or

“It’s not surprising that, increasingly, people are turning to online hypnotherapy in lockdown for help!”

something else is causing you to lose control, sapping your energy and leaving you feeling drained and exhausted, then I can help.

s we venture back to some sort of normality, are you thinking once again about weight loss, healthy eating and getting your health on track? The list of hip ways to eat has expanded rapidly.

Every week, it seems we are bombarded with a new super food, a new way to lose “seven pounds in seven days”! What works for one person, may not work for the next... so without this precise knowledge, anything else is guesswork. You end up jumping from bandwagon to bandwagon, trying to find the magic bullet!

Pioneering and ongoing research confirms that your blood type is the single most important determinant in choosing which foods are right for you and which foods cause inflammation, digestive problems or weight gain.

One size just does not fit all! The secret is your individuality!

ENCOURAGING WORDS: Kerrie Owen: “I had read about eating right for your blood type but never really understood why that was important. I had despaired when using most common diets that nothing worked for me long-term. I am now committed to changing my diet and lifestyle in line with Gene Living principles and guidance.”

Sue:

My concern is that many of these ‘one-size-fitsall’ eating regimes can actually be damaging people’s health. I have been a nutritionist for over twenty-five years. I have clocked up thousands of hours of helping people create lasting, lifelong health and energy, and learned that …

by Wendy Richards Director & Trainer, Nutritional Consultant, Dip ION, Cert BTD MIFHI.

“Since eating for my blood type, I feel as if I have been internally cleansed and a fog lifted from my brain.”

Roy: “During my recovery from chemotherapy for bone marrow cancer, I found I was struggling to regain my energy and health in general. Despite doing quite a lot of research on nutrition and healthy lifestyle, including changing my diet by cutting out all processed foods and only eating fresh food, including a lot of vegetables, I felt I had reached a plateau which it seemed I could not rise above. It was only after consulting Wendy and adopting the blood group diet, that I saw an improvement in my health. This, in conjunction with the vitamins recommended by her, specific to my condition and blood type, has returned my health to normality.”

o all my ‘Smart Fitt Move it or lose it’, Aerobics, Total Body Blast, Bootcamp and PT Clients:

“I hope you are all well and trying to keep fit and as healthy as possible during this very strange year. I have been busy posting up videos onto You Tube so that you can try and be active whilst staying at home. If you haven’t found them yet, go to You Tube and then type into the Search Bar either: ‘Smart-Fitt does Move it or lose it’ OR ‘Smart Fitt does Total Body Blast’.

I hope to be able to resume classes in the next couple of months, depending on government guidelines, but they will probably have to take a format slightly different from before. I will endeavour to contact everyone in due course to let you know when your class is re-starting.

I am beginning to re-start Personal Training sessions, working out in my garden, or on a village playing field, or via a video call. All existing PT clients should already have been contacted. If you are looking to start PT sessions and you have no pre-existing health issues, please contact me via my e-mail address or website enquiry form.

Hang in there, you can do this!

Stay Safe, Stay home, stay as fit as you can!”

PHOTOGRAPHY PROJECT BOOSTS LIVES FIRST RESPONDERS’ FUNDS Local photographer, Ryan Murrant, recently toured his Elsea Park community capturing images of people whilst raising money at the same time. Ryan decided that the money raised should come back to the town, so the Len Pick Trust was approached and recently a cheque for £1,845 was donated, via the Trust, to the LIVES First Responders Team in Bourne.

Chairman of the Len Pick Trust, David Bower (left) is shown presenting the cheque to LIVES volunteer, Steve Haigh, with Ryan Murrant, in the orange sweatshirt, looking on. David commented, “We are a charity set up by the late Len Pick for the general benefit of the townspeople of Bourne and Ryan’s fantastic effort really chimes in with those aims. We are also particularly grateful to the Trustees of The Elsea Park Community Trust for their donation to the project.”

SCONE … BUT NOT FORGOTTEN! HOW PETS HAVE HELPED US COPE WITH THE LOCKDOWN It will perhaps come as no surprise, especially to fellow pet-lovers, to hear just how much Britain’s pets have become crucial colleagues for their owners working from home during recent months, by boosting morale and motivation, besides reducing stress and anxiety. Cats and dogs have no doubt played a vital role in maintaining productivity and morale.

Congratulations go to Emma Fisher for having won the recent Wild Heart Café competition and scooping a dozen freshly baked delicious scones from one of Bourne’s finest eating establishments. Sons Daniel (4) and Freddie (5) are seen making light work of mum’s winnings!

A study by leading animal charity ‘Battersea’, has shown how we have relied on our cats and dogs while working from home. Almost four in ten, of the two thousand cat and dog owners surveyed, admitted that having a pet with them during lockdown has helped them maintain a regular routine.

More than half (58%) said that having a pet with them while they work has helped boost their productivity and motivation. And 60% said it has helped them out of bed in the morning. One fifth (20%) have shared lunch with their dog, while 43% say their pet has helped reduce their anxiety.

The research also revealed how cats and dogs have helped their owners get an issue off their chest - with one in ten moaning about a colleague to their pet. Being so near, however, has been too much to resist for some - with 66% admitting they have taken short breaks to spend some time playing with their cat or dog, when they should be working. Meanwhile, 17% said they had a pet join them on a video call, whilst 10% had found their cat asleep on their desk or keyboard!

More than half of those surveyed revealed that they have become better connected with their pets, and now understand their personality better. And 77% of dog owners say walking their dog has been the highlight of their day during lockdown. So maybe it hasn’t been too bad since March 23rd, after all!

Book Review

The Room Where It Happened

Billie Eilish:

The Essential Fan Guide

BY KATE ELIZABETH RUSSELL

(A White House Memoir)

“Billie Eilish - The Essential Fan Guide” tells the story of one of the most exciting pop stars on the planet.

BY JOHN BOLTON As President Trump’s National Security Advisor, John Bolton spent many of his 453 days in the room where it happened, and the facts speak for themselves.

The result is a White House memoir that is the most comprehensive and substantial account of the Trump administration, and one of the few to date by a top-level official. With almost daily access to the President, John Bolton has produced a precise rendering of his days in and around the Oval Office.

What Bolton saw astonished him - a President for whom getting re-elected was the only thing that mattered, even if it meant endangering or weakening the nation. He shows a President addicted to chaos, who embraced USA’s enemies and spurned their friends, and was deeply suspicious of his own government. In Bolton’s telling, all this helped put Trump on the bizarre road to impeachment. This seasoned public servant also has a great eye for the Washington inside game, and his story is full of wit and wry humour about how he saw it played.

Follow the rise and rise of Billie and her producer brother, Finneas O’Connell - from bedroom singer to festival headliner with the No. 1 album in the world, ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ and the huge singles ‘Bad Guy’, ‘Everything I Wanted’ and the James Bond movie song, ‘No Time to Die’.

Filled with quotes from eighteen-year-old Billie and her closest collaborators, discussing fame, fashion, fans and more, “Billie Eilish - The Essential Fan Guide” takes you onstage, in the studio and behind the scenes with the most hyped artist of her generation.

Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race BY RENI EDDO-LODGE The book that sparked a national conversation when it was first published in 2018. Every voice raised against racism chips away at its power.

We can’t afford to stay silent. This book is an attempt to speak. Exploring everything from eradicated black history to the inextricable link between class and race, “Why I’m No Longer

Talking to White People About Race” is the essential handbook for anyone who wants to understand race relations in Britain today. A Sunday Times bestseller and multiple award-winning book.

Talented, Imaginative and Delicious!

A

midst all the recent uncertainty and sadness of the last three months, there has been at least one serious glimmer of hope provided by local bespoke cake-maker, Jade Connolly.

From her home in Thurlby, this ambitious and very talented young lady has been building up an impressive reputation as her newly created business, Pretty Baked, has gone from strength to strength.

Jade has always been a keen producer of baked products and has recently been working in a tea shop. She has now decided that her longstanding hobby could be developed further by her establishing the means by which her delicious home-baked items could be either collected or delivered to the public – so Pretty Baked was born!

I was fortunate enough to have been given the chance to “test-drive” one of Jade’s afternoon teas, (a tastefully presented box containing a round of sandwiches, a perfect scone with cream

E: jade_kc@hotmail.co.uk

and jam, a light sponge cake, a delicate piece of shortbread and a chocolate brownie to die for – all freshly made and delivered with a smile!) This treat is offered at £12 pp, with a minimum order of two, and I would consider that most reasonable.

Pretty Baked’s Facebook pages bulge with so many wonderful words of praise for the fabulous baked items which Jade has been providing. These include “occasion”/ wedding/ novelty cakes, selection boxes, cupcakes, giant cookie cakes, cheesecakes, brownie boxes and many more!

Jade is keen, and clearly more than capable, to personalise any cake to your individual preferences.

Wines Worth Locating: The Winebarn

G

ermany utilises Riesling grapes to great advantage and the resulting wines have a range from Trocken (dry), Kabinett (mediumdry), through medium and sweet, to Beerenauslese (very sweet) and Eiswein (even sweeter).

The WineBarn Ltd company specialises in finding, importing and offering German wines of superb quality and elegance. Their managing director is Iris Ellmann, who is very much acknowledged and respected, and one of the UK’s first Fellows (The Riesling Fellowship), as an expert in German wines. The team are extremely proud of having been recognised as The IWC Best German Wine Merchant. Advice includes recommendations for food pairings and for any other occasions and events. The WineBarn also offers a Rare and Antique Wines Service, sourcing elusive investment wines from hidden German cellars. For this ‘quest’ I searched for dry Riesling wines.

The Allendorf family have a history of over 700 years, living and working in the Rheingau region, which is home to the famed Riesling white wine grape. Their estate is recognised as one of the largest family-owned wineries in the Rheingau. ‘Allendorf Save Water Drink Riesling’ (dry) has a primary fruity sensation, including apricot and crisp apple, for the nasal senses.

Continuing to the mouthfeel and palate’s enjoyment, this is a very popular, refreshing wine. www.thewinebarn.co.uk/collections/allendorf

Since the latter part of the 15th century, the Aldinger family have worked the land in the town of Fellbach. Committed and dedicated to their productions, the wines produced have exceptional quality. ‘Aldinger Rebhuhn Riesling Trocken’ I found to have very acceptable orchard fruits on the bouquet. It is certainly crisp and fresh, with a good finish on the palate. Ideal to grace many dining tables, this is another popular production. www.thewinebarn.co.uk/collections/aldinger Riesling wines are great to accompany numerous dishes of cuisine, as well as having the ability to be enjoyed on their own. These and many more excellent wines with a passion, (a good number of which are multi-award-winning) are available from The WineBarn Ltd. Ordering is easy and available online, too. Orders are dealt with quickly and efficiently, dispatching to all types of properties, including hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, retailers, private clients, homes and offices. The WineBarn is delivering now.

Advice

“Scammers Raise Their Game During Coronavirus Lockdown,” say Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire Disappointingly, during a time when most of us are feeling vulnerable, scammers are looking for every opportunity to take advantage. Action Fraud has already reported over £5.3 million lost to scammers during the present lockdown. And this is only the tip of the iceberg….

• We are worried about our health and know that face masks, sanitizer and home testing kits are all available to help protect coronavirus spreading. Scammers are offering these things at high prices but may not provide them at all, once we have paid in advance.

• We are worried about having food and being able to shop if we are isolating or shielding. Scammers are offering to shop for us – at a price. Not an act of kindness but a fraud against our purse.

• We are worried about money while businesses are shut and jobs uncertain. Scammers are pretending to be from the Department for Works and Pensions and asking for our personal details and bank information.

Scammers seize every opportunity. We can and should be doing something about it!

Visit the website Research and Campaigns page (www.citizensadvicesouthlincs.org.uk) and social media for regular updates.

Our message is that we can all help in the fight against scammers. We can take action by being aware of the scams that are out there. We can find out how to help prevent scams happening to us. We can know how to report scams. And we can all help each other by passing on information about scams to friends, family and colleagues.

Citizens Advice South Lincolnshire is currently working on telephone, webchat and email. Clients are asked to use Adviceline on 03444 111444 or the Migrant Worker Helpline on 03448 476128. Alternatively use Webchat and Email via www.citizensadvicesouthlincs.org.uk

Mayor COUNCILLOR COLIN PATTISON

Words from the Mayor Dear friends,

I hope that this finds you all in good health, in what is proving to be a very strange and somewhat abnormal year, and that a little piece of normality is returning to your daily lives!

Re-opening of Shops on Monday June 15th: This was a tentative step towards normality with the re-opening of some of our non-essential shops and businesses. We have all had to sacrifice so much in the past three months to get to this day. All the closed shop doors and empty window displays had certainly left a very sombre atmosphere around our wonderful town. However, I will not dwell on doom, gloom or hardship, because from now on, it’s all about being positive for the future!

Accompanied by our Town Clerk, Ian Sismey, photographer, Gordon Cochrane, and Discovering Bourne’s publisher, Claire Saberton, I had the great pleasure of touring the town. It was a joy to see some of our shops open again and seemingly doing good business. There were healthy queues outside Hopper’s Jewellers and North’s Shoes, whilst Bourne Bookshop reported a good first couple of hours! I had the pleasure of meeting several of the shop proprietors and present them with a bouquet of flowers, along with some “LOVE BOURNESHOP LOCAL” window stickers. I apologise for not getting around to see everyone; time constraints and other pressures simply did not allow it.

The town looked magnificent with all the new hanging baskets and planters. The Burghley Arcade was particularly beautiful, creating a lovely welcoming ambience in which to walk and shop - please go and take a look! We’re so lucky to have a little unseen army of helpers, sponsors and contributors to create such colourful displays

around our town! A huge thank you to all those involved, including, but not solely, Ian Sismey, Gary’s Gardens and our old friend, Billy Pauley.

Hopefully, in the coming weeks, we will see more, if not all, of our businesses open. It truly will be a great day once all hairdressers, pubs, clubs, gyms, restaurants/eateries et al, are open and trading once again.

Charity Fundraising 2020/21: After some lengthy consideration, thought and consultation, I wish to announce that my chosen “local” charities for the coming year are: The Butterfield Day Care Centre (Reg Charity No: 1125156) Wake House Community Centre (Reg Charity No: 1079939) Bourne Old Town Hall (Reg Charity No: 1176315).

Bourne Town Council News: The Town Council continues to be busy behind the scenes, despite the current restrictions on meetings or gatherings. We have also recently conducted a “major clutter tidy up” down at the South Fen allotments site. More than two full skips worth of unwanted debris has been removed. Thanks to Kev Brown of ‘KB All Jobs’, for overseeing the loading.

Remember, let’s remain POSITIVE - Please look after yourselves, take care and stay safe!

July Gardening Tips

J

uly is a joy as you start to pick all those wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables. However, the vegetable patch or allotment is still very demanding, and watering and weeding are key.

It is now time to lift garlic; hang the bulbs out in the sun or in an airy shed. Onions also need drying well before they are stored.

Although it is getting late for sowing and planting, there are still a few crops that can be planted: • Lettuce, rocket and a variety of salad leaves – succession sow for an ongoing supply in the autumn.

• Fast-growing varieties of peas, beetroot and carrots.

• Florence fennel.

• Plant out your leeks. Just dib a hole about 150mm, six inches deep and drop the leek into the hole. Water it in and the job’s done. You

do not need to fi ll the holes with soil; enough will wash in with watering and rain.

The reason you plant in a hole is to blanch the stem.

• Plant out cabbage, caulifl owers, Brussels, broccoli and kale for autumn and winter cropping, using the space created by lifting onions, garlic and early potatoes.

Other jobs to do in the vegetable patch: • When climbing beans have reached the top of the canes, pinch out the growing tip.

• Strawberries will fi nish fruiting so tidy up old foliage and cut off runners or use them to produce new plants.

• Earth up brassicas to give them a fi rm hold in the soil and give them a top-dressing of nitrogenous fertilizer or an organic liquid feed.

Enjoy the fruits of your labour!

Promotional Feature

PROTECTION WHEN IT MATTERS MOST If you want peace of mind that you and your family would cope financially following a death or serious illness then now is the time to consider life and critical illness insurance.

According to the Association of British Insurer’s December 2019 Key Facts report, the insurance industry paid out £5.3 billion in protection claims in 2018 - an average of £14.5 million paid every day.

We’ve teamed up with AIG to bring you a wide range of protection cover to help give you peace of mind should the worst ever happen. So customers can rest assured they will have financial support when they need it most.

SUE AND MARTIN’S STORY When Sue Ansell became critically ill, it was a tough time for the whole family. Husband Martin, pensions expert at NFU Mutual, explains why having protection cover was vital.

“Around 25 years ago, Sue and I were moving to another house, so we increased our mortgage to £72,000.

“We were asked if we would like to protect ourselves, not just in the event of dying, but also in the event of a critical illness. We thought it unlikely that both of us would ever have a critical illness at the same time so we decided to do half, £36,000 as this would cover half of the mortgage should anything happen.

“Sometime later, Sue began to feel unwell. She would lose the ability to speak or understand people — just for a minute or two. We had it investigated, and the hospital told us it was a tumour in the brain, and it would kill her unless we allowed the doctors to operate. At the time, you’re facing the uncertainty of the tumour, the operation, the children — the last thing you want, on top of all that, is to have financial worry.

“Luckily, the critical illness cover did exactly what it said on the tin. It gave us a lump sum that allowed us to rely on one income rather than the two.

“The pressure of the mortgage was eased and it took away such a great part of the worries we faced.

“Thankfully Sue has made a recovery. She is able to live her life and do the things that really matter, like seeing her kids grow up.

“You can’t insure against emotional problems but you can insure against financial ones. Do what you can afford and review it regularly.”

YOU NEED TO KNOW Critical illness cover provides protection for illnesses and conditions specified in the policy.

Essential Guide for Lockdown Movers

I

n what remains an ever-changing world, here at Newton Fallowell we thought we would provide an essential guide and tips for anyone considering a move during this lockdown period.

BUYING?

1

Act quickly on new properties – we are experiencing lots of early interest in new homes, having sold many within hours of them having come to the market. Act quickly to ensure you do not miss out!

2

Viewing homes safely – try to ensure a social distance is maintained from the agent/home seller whilst viewing, wearing PPE where possible.

3

Register details with estate agents – stay ahead of other buyers by registering your details to hear about new properties first.

SELLING?

FIRST-TIME BUYING?

1

Explore mortgage options/availability – mortgage options and rates are changing daily therefore, to ensure you gain the best deal possible explore your options thoroughly.

2

Watch virtual viewings – where possible, watch the virtual viewings of homes prior to visiting. This will enable you to rule out unsuitable properties, limiting the risk to you and the home seller.

3

Check the onward chain – in a time of uncertainty, ensure you are aware of any potential onward chain. Without this knowledge, you will not be able to forecast completion, as this will be dependent on an upward chain.

INVESTING?

1

Buoyant rental market – There is an abundance of tenants looking to move in the Bourne area, therefore if you are considering investing in property, now is certainly a good time!

1

2

2

3

Virtual viewings are critical – whilst they do not replace an actual viewing, the virtual viewing can ensure that potential buyers are provided with as much information about your home as possible, prior to visiting. This can prevent buyers visiting, where the home may not have been suitable for them, limiting the potential risk to all parties.

Accompanied viewings – allow the agent to show potential buyers round, whilst you vacate the home. The agent can carry out the viewing whilst maintaining a social distance and wearing PPE, to limit the risk to you.

3

Stand out online – with buyers relying even more on the online platforms, you must ensure that your home stands out. Ensure the agent takes great pride in their photos and details, as this will mean more buyers looking at your home online.

BY JASON TREADWELL, MANAGING DIRECTOR

Motivated sellers – whilst many people want to move, there are some for whom it is a necessity. By having no chain, you will be seen favourably to these home sellers, therefore your offer could be acceptable, where others, dependent on a chain, may not.

Investing in property – now could be a great time to invest in property, rather than leaving your money sat in the bank, given the current interest rates. With such high demand, the property should not remain empty for long!

------------------------------------------------------We hope that the above guide has proved of some use to you. However, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your Bourne property professionals on 01778 422567.

Consumer Advice Need a Tradesman to Carry Out Work in Your Home? Here’s What You Need to Know

by Eileen Le Voi at Safe Local Trades The government’s easing of some of the lockdown measures means that many of our Safe Local Trades members have returned to work; much of it carried out in customers’ homes. Social distancing rules apply in the same way as in other aspects of life as we currently know it. So how does this affect you if you require a tradesperson to visit your property?

In simple terms, you ARE permitted to ask a tradesperson to carry out work on your property (inside and out) or in your garden. It is a personal choice on the part of the customer, so long as a few simple rules are adhered to: • As of May 4th, the government guidance is that tradespeople can continue to work, providing they are well, and that they (or no one in their household) has COVID-19 symptoms.

• If your neighbour has tradespeople visiting their home, they are NOT flouting the social distancing rules simply by having work carried out at their property.

• As a tradesperson or cleaner, you should maintain a safe distance (at least two metres) from any household occupants at all times, and ensure good ventilation in the area where you are working, including opening the window.

• Any households self-isolating due to COVID-19, or anyone with vulnerable occupants, cannot re-employ their workers as they risk spreading the virus, according to the government guidance.

• Before attending a job, maintenance workers should contact families twenty minutes before they arrive so homeowners can prepare to keep a safe two metre distance.

• Once inside, they should wash hands for twenty seconds and adhere to the social distancing rules.

• Tradesmen may ask households to leave all internal doors open to minimise contact with door handles.

• Face coverings have not yet been deemed mandatory but can be worn as a precaution.

All our Safe Local Trades members are aware of the social distancing and other rules concerning carrying out home improvements at customers’ homes, and the importance of adhering to them. We would advise customers who are thinking about resuming work in their home to get in touch with the relevant trader through the Safe Local Trades website if they have any concerns.

TIME TO

Is Now the Right Time

I

n the past few weeks, we have seen glimmers of our normal lives returning, with schools reopening, the property sector going from being at a standstill to full steam ahead, and with the reopening of retail stores on the horizon - on the face of it, the economy is returning to normal!

the land, are reporting healthy numbers of viewings and offers are being accepted which all leads to a much-needed boost to commercial life. Over the coming months, retailers and wholesalers who supply kitchens, carpets and light fittings will join the army of previously furloughed estate agents in getting a boost.

The property market is, and always has been, an underpin to a well-functioning economy. The physical bricks and mortar are only part of the effect; aggregate suppliers at the start of the process, to tradespeople, white goods companies, solicitors, and removal businesses are all part of this process. They all benefit from, and contribute towards, the positive economic effect.

The property market is now active once more; houses are being bought and sold and mortgages are needed.

BY JOSEPH ASH – MORTGAGE ADVISER

D I S C O V E R I N G

Lenders who had previously stopped lending because of their inability to complete valuations are now very much open for business and looking to attract you to their mortgage book, as they themselves look to the commercial uplift of lockdown easing.

Bourne

My recent experience is that we have perhaps come to terms with the fact that, this year, our holiday plans have been postponed or cancelled; we have all become keen cyclists, walkers and expert gardeners; and we have all looked more closely at our surroundings.

Consistent with those estate agents, my phone has been very busy, as both new and existing clients consider their options of moving home or maybe completing that once-postponed home improvement work.

Well, if you, like me, have the best-stripes-ever in your lawn, have completed the list of jobs that you were never going to get finished, and would like to consider your mortgage options, then please contact the office for a free initial consultation.

WHY MAKE A WILL? ADVICE FROM ROBERT HODSON

1

Your property will go to the people who you decide should have it. If no will is made, you die intestate and strict rules apply as to who shall benefit. For example, if a person dies intestate leaving a wife and children, the wife receives the statutory legacy of £275,000 and the rest is divided as to one half for the wife and the other half equally between the children. If there are no surviving relatives, then the estate passes to the government.

2 3

If you want to give to a charity on your death, then you must make a will.

You can leave your estate in a taxefficient way by making use of the Inheritance Tax exemptions etc.

4 5

You can choose who you want to administer your estate.

You can set up trusts in your will, for example to provide funds for the benefit of a disabled person.

6

You can appoint a guardian or guardians of infant children.

7 8

You can make financial or other provision for pets.

You can make a direction as to whether you wish to be buried or cremated or what hymns should be sung at your funeral.

Making a Will To be valid:-

1 2

The will must be in writing.

The maker must be aged eighteen or over, unless a member of the armed forces on active military service.

3 4 5 6

The maker must have mental capacity and knowledge of what they are signing.

There must be no duress or undue influence on the person making the will.

The will must be validly executed.

A will can be challenged if any of the above are absent. In some cases, a will has to be proved by the High Court which grants probate.

What's On

Events - July 2020

A

lthough the situation regarding gatherings is changing, there are very few planned events, although certain spaces are open at the time of writing. If you have seen the last two months’ magazines online, then you will have seen some suggestions for keeping in touch with the arts and culture through the Internet and YouTube. However, as some of you may not have seen these issues, I will be repeating some of the web addresses.

STAMFORD ARTS CENTRE brings its programme online

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, both Stamford Arts Centre and Guildhall Arts Centre, Grantham, have joined together to create a programme of events for audiences to enjoy at home. Poetry swaps, sketching classes and jazz concerts will all be held online, as well as a very special cabaret of local favourites, not dissimilar to a night in the Cellar Bar at Stamford, that can now be enjoyed from the comfort of your own home.

Details of all current online events can be found on the Stamford Arts Centre website, with more to be announced soon: www.stamfordartscentre.com There is also a link on the website to “Arts at Home” where you will find a selection of theatre, ballet etc online plus local online events and classes.

Some of their events, current at going to press: ●

Mini Mondays Online - Mondays, 10.30am

Join Kirsty every Monday at 10.30am, when she will take you on a magical journey. You will be acting out characters, building boats and planes and there is even an opportunity for linking craft. So go to Stamford Arts Centre Facebook page for a bagful of fun: Mon June 29th - Gingerbread Man

Next up for discussion is: Parasite (15) - Wed July 1st, 8pm To join in, e-mail boxoffice@stamfordartscentre.com.

Please note there is limited capacity per call - the waiting list operates on a first come-first serve basis for each chat. ●

L ive in the Yard: The Rachael Johnson Trio Friday July 10th

In the light of recent events, the Jazz in the Cellar Bar series is moving online, straight into the artists’ back yards! For the second instalment of their live jazz broadcasts they welcome pianist Rachael Johnson. Rachael is a jazz pianist and composer whose style is heavily rooted in Jazz and Funk, but with heavy influences of all her favourite musical styles, including Latin, Reggae and Hip-Hop. For this performance, Rachael will be joined by Andrew Wood on drums and Martyn Spencer on double bass.

The musicians will be playing outdoors, adhering to social distancing guidelines.

Tune in to Facebook at 8pm to catch the show; highlights will be available afterwards too. @stamfordarts.

Stamford Arts Centre is part of Cultural Services, South Kesteven District Council.

EASTON WALLED GARDENS

Mon July 6th - 3 Billy Goat Gruff Mon July 13th - The Alien Under My Bed ●

Cinema Speak Online - Wednesday July 1st

Feline Vaccinations

S

ince most people now know more about viruses than they have ever wanted to, it may be a good time to learn about the viruses that can attack our cats.

In the 1960s, a virus that could evade the cat’s immune system, then slot itself into the cells of the bone marrow, waiting for the opportunity to strike, was discovered. Months or years later, the virus would take control of the cat’s cells and cause diseases such as leukaemia and lymphoma in the cat. The most vulnerable are those that get bitten regularly in cat fights and the offspring of infected mothers.

Twenty-five years later, the vaccine against this disease was launched and provides good protection against infection. The virus is known as Feline Leukaemia Virus (FeLV). It is closely related to Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) for which there is no vaccine at present. Both have many similarities to HIV virus and is of interest to human medics in their battle against this infection and the diseases it causes.

Two other viral diseases are routinely vaccinated against in cats – flu and enteritis. In fact, cat flu is due to two viruses which attack the upper respiratory tract. Runny eyes and a snotty nose are the classic symptoms. The disease is mild in healthy adult cats but can be so severe in kittens it can lead to permanent damage such as chronic nasal disease, gingivitis, and

Wise Words By Deirdre Wilson

blindness. Because it is due to viral infection, there is no specific treatment, and good nursing care is needed.

Feline enteritis is an horrific disease in cats, particularly kittens, where the majority that are infected die.

Those that survive are very weak, vomiting and with watery diarrhoea. Supportive care with fluids and nursing can help but it is heart-breaking to watch.

Protection against these diseases is by vaccination. No vaccine can give fully guaranteed protection; however, despite internet scares, vaccination is necessary in the fight against deadly disease. The only virus to be wholly eliminated from the planet has been human smallpox and that has been through global vaccination.

Cats have a coronavirus of their own known as FIP. In most cats, the virus causes a mild disease with very non-specific signs such as lethargy or mild diarrhoea before it is eliminated. Very rarely, a mutation occurs within the virus and it invades the cat’s immune system and blood vessels, causing a much more deadly disease. This is particularly distressing as it usually affects young cats less than two years of age. Unfortunately, there is no effective vaccine against FIP yet.

None of the cat viruses infect humans, but if we can reduce the disease in our pets and protect them from infection, then that is surely a step towards protecting the health of all species on the planet.
