Welcome to your July issue... High summer is now upon us, and the warm, dry weather outside has put a welcome smile upon many faces. What’s more, however, is that it has helped to sweeten the bitter pill issued recently by the government, postponing the “final” easing of the Covid restrictions until Monday July 19th.

t means that almost seventy weeks will have passed since the initial “You must stay at home” announcement of March 2020! Life must go on … and it will, but whatever “normal” is going to look like or feel like later this month will be anyone’s guess. Social distancing and the masking of faces I suspect won’t be missed, but I hope that the attitudes of looking out much more for others and actually communicating more with other people will be a long-lasting legacy of this awful pandemic.

Claire x

Everyone is eager for the “return to normality”, but some might say that we’re already there – England’s men are still more than capable of getting hammered at cricket, New Zealand following India’s lead on that front. Rain will most likely disrupt Wimbledon, before Novak Djokovic wins the men’s title again, and on the football field, “normality” could well rest on England’s penalty takers in the Euro 2020 tournament, but then again … Finally, two to take your mind off the footy:

Blue Therapy Available at Tallington Lakes!

n this age of being always “switched on”, it’s great to take a moment to unwind and immerse yourself in nature. With the summer sun finally here, finding time to be near, or on, water can rejuvenate and re-energise both the mind and body in a way that only the natural ebb and flow of water can provide.

This meditative state brought on by water, more commonly known as “Blue Mind” or even “Blue Therapy”, is a subject of growing research and recognition, pioneered by marine biologist, Wallace J. Nichols. It is thought that taking the time to be near water creates a natural boost to both your psychological and social being; from this, you are able to achieve an elevated and sustained state of happiness and wellbeing. The added bonus of potential physical activity too will increase these benefits ten-fold as, whilst exercise increases your endorphins (happy hormones), the water reduces your cortisol levels (stress hormones), giving us a moment to reconnect with ourselves and nature after months of lockdown.

drawn to water for respite from the busyness of everyday life, who doesn’t love a trip to the seaside after all? But the opportunity for relaxation and exercise could be closer than you think. “Blue Therapy” can be accessed almost anywhere by anyone, and you don’t have to live by the sea to get your fix; studies show that even sitting by a water feature for as little as five minutes can help calm the mind and ease daily stresses. But, if you’ve recently found yourself wanting to get out on to a body of water, then activities like canoeing, kayaking and the ever-increasingly popular ‘Stand Up Paddle-boarding’ are a great option for either solo trips or family outings. Tallington Lakes Leisure Park provides a wide range of different water-based activities and offers plenty of chances for everyone to get out on the water for an hour or two this summer, whether that’s out on the lake in a kayak or sitting by the outdoor blue. The opportunity for some much-needed “Blue Therapy” is more accessible than ever. Tallington Lakes Pro Shop is open seven days a week, between 9.00am-6.00pm; call 01778 347000 for more information.

Using the natural world around us as a form of “social prescribing” is often an inexpensive version of therapy for many. As most find themselves naturally 4

“Simply exceptional”

Huge Praise for Wright Care at Home My first encounter with Wright Care at Home was when I was facing the discharge from hospital of both of my parents who both had very different care needs but had come to the stage in life where they were no longer able to care for themselves or each other.

right Care at Home hadn’t been established long and, to be honest, we were a bit out of our area, but Sammy Wright agreed to visit us and discuss our needs. As I was tasked with trying to provide them with care, this in itself was a huge relief – having someone who was prepared to just come and have a chat was such a delight, but when my parents and I met her, we knew her ethos and that of her business was head and shoulders above any other care company. I consider myself one of luckiest of people when Sammy agreed to put in place a care package for my parents.

It was like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders, but that was just the start. What followed was quite simply exceptional. Carers who were passionate about their job, individuals with so much care and concern and a management structure that ensured my parents were central to everything that was provided for them, whilst I was also key to the whole support regime and kept informed of any issues Mum and Dad were having, often things they wouldn’t have shared with me. Wright Care at Home gave me back my independence, following several months of trying to do it myself, and at the same time gave my parents their lives back, free to live their lives in their own home. It was a perfect relationship between all the various parties, and I watched as my parents thrived. Sadly, my Dad didn’t enjoy the care for too long, but thanks to his carers we were alerted very quickly to health issues and were able to get him the hospital care which made his last days as comfortable as possible. The care that then followed for my Mum was exceptional and well beyond any expectations. Wright Care at Home supported her fantastically through a very difficult time and kept me very well informed of how she was doing, at times on a daily basis, right up to her unexpected passing a year later. I will remain eternally grateful to Sammy and the team at Wright Care at Home for all they did for my parents, and indeed for all they did for me. I couldn’t have chosen better.”

Will & Probate Services

2021: The Year to Protect You and Your Family

ADVICE FROM NICK ASH, MANAGING DIRECTOR WILL AND PROBATE SERVICES

Dealing with Disabilities

here are 351,000 children aged seventeen years or under in the UK who are living with a learning disability. Maybe one lives with you. If they do, you might want to consider what you need to do to protect their interests as they get older.

We are privileged to work with Medehamstede Academy (Peterborough) and Family Voice (Orton Goldhay), helping families with their planning as their children transition from childhood into adulthood. One of the conversations we have most often is “Who makes decisions for my child?” The answer is like so many – it depends! If you do nothing, then technically your parental responsibility ends on their eighteenth birthday and your ‘newly minted’ adult child becomes the responsibility of your local adult social care team. For most people, this is not ideal, and the transition from children’s services into adult care is difficult. However, it doesn’t have to be that way; you can make provision to keep control of decisions that relate to your child.

What you need to do depends on your child’s abilities and their assets. It might be something as simple as applying to be an appointee to deal with their benefits; it might well be a case of putting Lasting Powers of Attorney in place; or you may need to apply to the courts to become a Deputy to manage your child’s affairs. All of the options have different criteria, costs and levels of complexity, so you need to know which option is best for your circumstances, and those of your child. To find out, you can talk to one of our qualified advisors, who will help identify what you need to do, the bits that you can do on your own and the things that you might need help with. We can advise you of the likely costs and timescales. If this sounds like you, or your family, then please give us a call on 01778 252301 and see how we can help. Your initial consultation is free. P.S. Don’t leave it too late, as conversations about the right planning need to happen from your child’s sixteenth birthday onwards.

Wild Child BY DARA MCANULTY Join brilliant young naturalist Dara McAnulty, (winner of the 2020 Wainwright Prize for his book “Diary of a Young Naturalist”) on a nature walk and experience the joy of connecting with the natural world on your multi-sensory journey. This beautiful gift book, illustrated in full colour by Barry Falls, is divided into five sections: looking out of the window, venturing out into the garden, walking in the woods, investigating heathland and wandering on the river bank. Each section contains a discovery section where you will have a closer look at natural phenomena such as metamorphoses and migration, learn about categorization in the animal kingdom or become an expert on the collective nouns for birds. Each section finishes with an activity to do when you get home: plant wild flowers, make a bird feeder, try pond dipping, make a journey stick and build a terrarium.

Why We Kneel, How We Rise BY MICHAEL HOLDING Rarely can a rain delay in a cricket match have led to anything like the moment when Holding spoke out in the wake of the #BlackLivesMatter protests about the racism he has suffered and has seen all around him throughout his life. But as he spoke, he sought not only to educate, but to propose a way forward that inspired so many. Through the prism of sport and conversations with its legends, including Usain Bolt, Thierry Henry, Michael Johnson and Naomi Osaka, Michael Holding explains how racism dehumanises people; how it works to achieve that end; how it has been ignored by history and historians; and what it is like to be treated differently just because of the colour of your skin.

BY ALEX MICHAELIDES

This new thriller from the author of the global bestselling debut “The Silent Patient”, is a mixture of psychological suspense, mystery and gothic thriller from awardwinning crime writer, Alex Michaelides, connecting dark secrets behind the old walls of Cambridge University with the deep, bleak abysses of a family in crisis.

Depression:

“Let the Sun Shine Through”

hilst it is normal for everyone to feel sad or upset from time to time, when these feelings are overwhelming, persistent, or are affecting your ability to function on a daily basis, it may be that you are suffering from depression. Everyone feels a bit low sometimes, but depression is much more than this: it may be that you suffer from feelings of helplessness, guilt or worthlessness; perhaps you have difficulty making decisions, being overwhelmed or not concentrating on anything; maybe you feel tired and pessimistic all the time. Without expert treatment, your depression symptoms may become progressively worse. It has the potential to impact on all areas of your life, from relationships to your performance at work or school. Feeling hopeless and helpless? In the depressed brain, the primitive part of the mind is much more active and this part of the brain is normally very negative. This makes us feel hopeless and unable to see a way out and can be a lonely and unforgiving negative place to be. The depressed brain is starved of positive chemicals and restricts your ability to think clearly and resourcefully. Depression takes away our confidence and our ability to remain rational and positive about ourselves and our situations. In this state of mind, we lose the ability to think clearly and intellectually. Want to stay in bed? When we feel depressed, we want to put our life on pause and stop interacting with the rest of the world. We are much more tired and lacking in healthy energy. We just want to stay curled up in our duvets

and shut ourselves away. If you have been depressed, you may have noticed that you can ruminate or worry a lot during those periods. This type of worrying is typified by taking an all-or-nothing thinking style. This is because, when we are stressed and emotionally aroused beyond a certain point, the mind takes the fight/flight approach and looks at the worst, most extreme, scenario. We don’t look at our situation from a rational perspective, taking in all the possibilities like we might do when we are more relaxed.

“A pill cannot make your unconscious conscious.” How does Hypnotherapy Help? Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can offer an alternative approach, helping you to focus on the positives in your life and working towards a brighter future. It can provide a bespoke treatment programme getting you to where you want to be and enjoying life again. Hypnotherapy is designed to manage the chemistry inside your brain to help you move towards an optimistic outlook. It provides you with coping mechanisms for life, which allow you to recognise negative thought patterns and respond to them in a healthier way, reducing the likelihood that you will become depressed again in the future.

Flaws - Everybod

... but it’s all a matter of what you see as important to you and what your idea of perfection is! nfortunately, in this day and age, everyone is subjected to aesthetic comparisons, no matter how old you are.

Apps, such as Facetune, allow you to trim your waist, hide blemishes, change your eye colour and more... that’s without filters to help you see what you could look like with a little help. The pandemic only made this feeling worse and there has been a massive upsurge in dermal filler and anti-wrinkle treatments as a way of attaining the look you want and wanting to appear the best version of yourself. Practitioners have coined this the “zoom effect” or “zoom doom” and it describes the process of noticing every little flaw when you see yourself on screen, and this primarily affects women. When choosing a practitioner or a treatment,

you should always make sure you do your research and here at Deep-in Aesthetics, we pride ourselves on our professionalism. Alistair is a trained pharmacist with over twenty-five years’ experience and who has also trained at Harley Street in these procedures, so you know you are in safe and capable hands. We provide a relaxed, calming and private environment in a non-high street location, for you to talk through any worries you may have and then decide whether to go ahead with the treatment with no obligation.

Local History

se u o H e rp o th n a H t a n u F er m Sum

ith the summer now upon us, thoughts turn to the great outdoors and the ways in which our communities have, for a long time now, taken to the open air when seeking a venue for a communal event. Garden fetes have always been a popular option and, this month, we take a look back at two such events, held in the grounds of Hanthorpe House, over 130 years ago. Leaving the village of Hanthorpe, near Morton, on the Stainfield Road today, you will find W.B. Cox & Son’s sawmill and woodyard, on the site of what was once Hanthorpe House, a very spacious country house which was demolished in 1951. The building dates back over two hundred years and the images here depict an impressive amount of style and much grandeur, towards the end of the nineteenth century, the time at which the garden fetes of 1887 and 1888 shown here would have taken place. The “various amusements”, the “excellent band”, the “dancing (without extra charge)” and the “sale of work and fancy articles” at the 1887 event could all feature in such a fete these days. The “best baby competition” on the other hand seems to have gone out of fashion of late!

The “Morton Feast Garden Fete” of 1888 looks to have been a much more elaborate affair, according to the poster shown here. The “Exhibition of Queensland Curiosities” I’m sure would have appealed to many, and who could have resisted entering the “Quoit Handicap”? The mind boggles at what “Uncle Sarah – a new and exciting game” might have involved! A very interesting summary of the history of Hanthorpe House can be found in “Lost Lincolnshire Country Houses – Volume 6” by Robert Pacey, (ISBN 978-09562230-0-5). Local losses covered in this text include Swinstead House, Scottlethorpe Manor, Osgodby Manor, Uffington House and Aswarby Park.

EMPLOYMENT DISPUTES REQUIRE ADVICE WORDS FROM RICHARD WOOD Since 2010, employment disputes have required more work by clients and their solicitors. In 2010, Tribunal fees were introduced, but later, they were ruled unconstitutional. However, a would-be claimant at the Tribunal must use the ACAS Compulsory Early Conciliation Scheme before issuing a claim at the Employment Tribunal. That has the effect of freezing the usual time limits for issuing the claim at the Tribunal. The usual time limit is three months. There are limitations as to making claims which interact with the operation of the ACAS Early Conciliation and, if not calculated properly, can mean that a claimant is out of time and prevented from making a claim. Care is needed and advice should be taken. If the conciliation fails, a certificate is issued, and that detail is needed to issue the claim. There is a calculation as to how many days a claimant has

to file the claim from the end of the conciliation, which is generally the number of days over which the conciliation continued, added to the remaining period of limitation (usually what is left of three months) if the conciliation is started in the first two months after the incident occurred. However, if the conciliation commences in the third month following the incident, the additional period added to the usual three months is one month. When the claimant issues, the Tribunal will issue an Order of Directions that the parties must follow. There is a lot of work. If the parties do not settle, a trial will eventually take place to decide matters. In these troubled times, some parties negotiate a settlement which results in an agreed ‘Settlement Agreement’ before ACAS and the Tribunal are required; this can end up being cheaper and potentially less stressful. Advice is essential.

No Fault Divorce, At Last!

he very long-awaited Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020 is to come into force on April 6th next year. This is a lot later than originally hoped and it would seem that the delay has been due to the IT changes necessary on the Government online divorce platform. But April 6th, 2022, is now fixed on the parliamentary record. So, those of you who have been holding off starting divorce proceedings on the traditional grounds, can now work towards this new timetable. The new law will allow married couples to divorce without attributing blame as a reason to end the marriage. The current law only provides for “blameless” divorce if you have been separated for two years, or five years. Otherwise, the majority of divorces where the spouses agree they can’t wait for two years, require allegations of unreasonable behaviour to be raised by one against the other, or agreeing that adultery has taken place. Neither ground is exactly the best start to ending a marriage in a civil and amicable manner. The new law will permit spouses to divorce after being apart for a limited period of time. The exact rules will be finalised over the coming months and your local family law specialist will be able to provide more details closer to the date. So, watch this space …

In this small oasis of calm, Claire can now offer her range of relaxing treatments, all at particularly affordable prices, which she says will “keep you in tip-top condition to handle all of life’s stresses.” Besides the regular offering of facials, ear candles, manicures, pedicures and a choice of massages, you will also find a variety of packages, such as:

You can call, text or find Claire on Facebook. On Thursdays, Claire welcomes Suzy, the owner of “Serendipity Melts”, into the shop, where Suzy hand-makes soy wax melts with love, for you to keep your homes smelling amazing.

Maths at Morton

his term, the Year 5 children at Morton C of E Primary School have been engaging in an exciting maths project. The Royal Institution, a charity whose goal is to foster a love of science and maths in children, are providing a set of live maths masterclasses.

Following an introduction lesson for all of Year 5, a series of three sessions has begun which challenges and inspires children to think more deeply within the subject. These lessons are being delivered virtually, in conjunction with Year 5 classes across other local schools.

theory. The children at Morton have hugely enjoyed meeting their peers and sharing in this maths journey with other budding mathematicians. Mr Winn, Year 5 teacher and Maths Leader at Morton, said, “We really want to provide opportunities that inspire children within maths. It can be a hugely rewarding and creative subject, and I hope experiences like this will encourage our students to pursue a love of maths throughout their lives.”

Each session focuses on areas of the subject that would not normally be included in the curriculum – for example, the children learnt about the French mathematician, Blaise Pascal. They looked for patterns using Pascal’s Triangle and learnt how the work done by Pascal is used today in applied probability

Through these shared experiences, children will leave primary school with a better understanding of the value of maths outside the classroom and a desire to always keep learning. This is just one example of the activities we provide to build aspirations and for children to learn skills for their future. It looks like it is going to be a busy summer at Morton!

Headstart Nursery Children Prepare for School As the final few weeks approach before saying goodbye to their pre-school children, Headstart Day Nursery and Pre-School have been doing all they can to ensure that their children have the best possible start to school life. This has included doing their own mini-P.E. sessions. Twice a week, the children would bring in their own P.E. kits, get themselves changed and then enjoy a short P.E. session outside. This has been incredibly beneficial for the children, as it has really supported their independence and given them that sense of achievement when they have got dressed, all by themselves.

All of the children have had so much fun, and even some of the lower-pre-school children have been asking their parents to bring their P.E. kits in.

Headstart will continue to work alongside local primary schools to ensure that, even with restrictions still in place, there can still be a smooth transition for all of the children who are leaving in the late summer. If you are looking for a childcare provider in the Bourne area, then Headstart still have spaces available and are always looking forward to having new children join the Headstart family.

Newton Fallowell, Bourne,

Shortlisted as One of the Top Property Firms in the U.K. BY JASON TREADWELL, MANAGING DIRECTOR

SHORTLISTED

ewton Fallowell, Bourne has been recognised for delivering outstanding customer service to its clients, making the shortlist of The ESTAS – the biggest award scheme in the UK residential property industry.

The ESTAS, sponsored by Coadjute, honours the best agents, conveyancers and mortgage advisors in the UK. The awards are powered by the ESTAS online customer review platform, which enables property professionals to demonstrate the customer service standards they deliver for their clients. ESTAS reviews can only be completed at the end of the property transaction and a strict verification process ensures reviews are genuine. This year’s shortlist has been calculated following the evaluation of 60,000 client reviews. Four hundred agents, conveyancers and mortgage brokers have been shortlisted around the UK making them one of the top property firms in the UK. The regional and national winners will be announced at the eighteenth annual ESTAS ceremony, held in London on October 22nd. The awards will be presented by the UK’s favourite property expert, Phil Spencer, in front of one thousand of the UK’s top property professionals. Phil Spencer said: “The ESTAS Awards are based on real feedback, from real clients experiencing real service, so they provide genuine proof of the service levels that a firm is delivering to clients. Now, more than ever, high quality customer service is crucial if home movers are going to realise their dream of getting the property they set their hearts on.”

Simon Brown, founder of The ESTAS, added: “At ESTAS we’re creating a community for best practice property professionals who all share a passion for delivering great service and a belief that service really does matter.” Dan Salmons, CEO at Coadjute, said: “We are proud to work with ESTAS to bring together the very best agents, conveyancers and brokers under one roof for the first time. This year’s theme of ‘Working Together Better’ could not be more apt for Coadjute – it is something we believe in passionately. Our network seamlessly and securely connects the systems that agents, conveyancers and brokers use, enabling professionals to see progress and share documents, cut transaction times, and give even better customer service. We are therefore delighted to be supporting ESTAS and the whole property industry to celebrate the best service, and the benefits of working together”. We are very proud to be shortlisted for this prestigious award. We take our levels of customer service very seriously because we know clients have a choice. Our clients are at the forefront of everything we do, and we are exceptionally proud that our team show this high level of customer service daily. To experience our award-winning service, whether you are looking to sell, buy or let, please give our Bourne property experts a call on 01778 422567.

Cuddling, Stroking and Volunteering

e’re more of an ‘Old Macdonald had a Farm’ type of place, rather than a large, commercial unit”, admitted Tracey Hall, when I spoke with her recently about the new venture that she and husband Dave have opened to the public just south of Thurlby.

It has been her ambition to develop her longstanding work, caring for disabled youngsters in the past, and provide opportunities, not solely for them, but for everyone in the area, to have somewhere nearby where they are free to pet a wide range of farm animals, in a safe and controlled way.

are seen as likely to gain benefits for their mental wellbeing. The enterprise also gives the public the chance to offer their time and enthusiasm as volunteers at the farm, helping with the donkeys, goats, ponies, small sheep, guinea pigs, turkeys, geese and chickens. Early signs are very favourable, with Tracey highlighting how one local, Northorpe, volunteer has been raising funds for the farm by selling their eggs, along with donated teddy bears, on his stall in the street – step forward, Arthur Unsworth, aged nine! The Halls have created a picnic area, close to the petting pens, and with parking space and toilet facilities on hand, they are hoping for the general public to come flocking! (but please leave the dogs at home).

Tracey has no doubts about the benefits to be gained from such an exposure to our hairy/furry/ feathered friends. Young children will no doubt find the offering at Tiny Steps Farm irresistible, but other groups of people too, especially the elderly and the lonely,

ALL attendees must book online via Eventbrite Restoration & Healing School (2 day event)

Lunch breaks and refreshment breaks will be included, please bring your own packed lunch & your own personal cup or mug for tea & coffee

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The Restoration and Healing School aims to teach believers that they have the power and authority to change their circumstances through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, whether that is spiritually, physically, or emotionally. Attendees will learn about helpful spiritual principles as disciples of Jesus Christ: freedom from negative influences, health and wholeness, economic stability, and the right to enjoy a fulfilled life. As biblical principles are taught by the speakers and applied by participants, lives will be transformed for the better!

The school is aimed at individuals: • Wanting to experience more of God’s power in their life. • Needing physical and/or emotional healing. • Feeling alienated from their faith and no longer attending church. • Struggling with re-occurring failures and disappointments. • Needing encouragement and empowerment. • Needing to see a positive change in their relationships (marital, children, friendships, work colleagues, etc).

This school is a great asset to the body of Christ as it encourages those in the pews to exercise the authority that they have as believers, thereby being an even greater support to their respective churches and the wider community. A freewill offering will be taken on the Saturday by those who would like to contribute. Donations can also be made through our charities PayPal account - www.paypal.com/gb/fundraiser/charity/3614779 38

Words from the Mayor

COUNCILLOR PAUL FELLOWS

In early June, we had the privilege of being invited to what has become an established ‘icon’ of Bourne.

t was an absolute pleasure to open the upper floor of Harrison and Dunn’s hardware emporium where, apparently, they are still asked for “four candles” but where you can buy that “little whatsit” that you need but can’t get anywhere else! Established by Messrs Harrison and Dunn in 1930, what would Bourne be without this gem of a shop?

I have said that we will, if it benefits Bourne, go to “the opening of an envelope” and so it was with great relief, for all concerned, that we opened the refurbished toilets at Bourne Bowls Club! The club has been a stalwart organisation in Bourne for a good many years and so it continues, with a large and very strong membership. We were made very welcome by Chairman Brian and a vibrant membership that is always ready to welcome new members, especially younger, as well as ‘young at heart’, ones. Thank you to those members who provided a lovely lunch.

Scouts and Wake House, has had his head shaved to raise money for charity – an absolutely star in his own very particular way well done Greg! Finally, don’t forget to come and join us at the ‘Picnic in Wellhead Park’ on Sunday July 4th. There will be live music spots throughout the park, and we have many local performers who are absolutely keen to do what they do best, entertain. The Picnic will officially start at 11 am and squashed family tomato sandwiches could really be the way to go! If you do decide to join us, please make sure you choose a spot that has space around it, for the comfort of everyone else, but most importantly have a good time! Paul Fellows

Invited to the official opening of the ‘Don’t Lose Hope’ garden and ‘Man Shed’, it was awe-inspiring to see how much this organisation has, and continues, to achieve in such a relatively short time. Primarily providing a very much-needed service for young people, ‘Don’t Lose Hope’, through the garden and shed projects, are also reaching out to the community as a whole. They have developed a formula/ plan to help finance and deliver a service that is a pattern for the county, if not the country. Well done to everyone who made it happen.

2021 Season

(June 8th – August 28th)

hroughout the summer, the Stamford Shakespeare Company presents a season of plays at the stunning Rutland Open Air Theatre. Described by The Sunday Times as “One of the finest things to do this summer” and The Stage as “One of England’s premier al fresco theatre venues”, it really is an experience not to be missed. The theatre is situated in the grounds of historic Tolethorpe Hall. The auditorium faces an open-air stage set within an idyllic woodland glade. The permanent canopy above the audience means no performance is ever cancelled because of inclement weather. Enjoy a picnic in the glorious gardens, then take your seat, protected from summer showers, and see a stage like no other. This summer the Company are proud to present four fantastic plays:

William Shakespeare’s Love’s Labours Lost JUNE AND JULY

Shakespeare’s most stylish comedy is set in Navarre in the 17th Century when learning and the ‘new science’ were all the rage. Four noblemen swear an oath to study for three years and to give up wine, women and song, but when a beautiful Princess and her retinue of vivacious ladies arrives, the consequences are hilarious.

Charlotte Jones’ Humble Boy JUNE, JULY AND AUGUST

Set in the late 1990s, this superb, award-winning comedy, inspired by Hamlet, explores the tensions inherent in family life. Felix Humble, the unlikely hero, returns to his Cotswold family home after his father’s death. His mother, Flora, has got rid of all of her husband’s belongings, including the bees which he kept. Due to language and content, the play is suitable for ages 15 and over.

Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest JULY AND AUGUST

Widely considered one of the funniest plays in the English language, Oscar Wilde’s muchloved masterpiece, set in the late Victorian era, contains some of theatre’s most celebrated characters along with sparkling dialogue rich in witticisms.

Dennis Kelly’s DNA JULY 12TH AND 13TH ONLY

A group of teenagers do something bad, really bad, then panic and cover the whole thing up. But when they find that the cover-up unites them and brings harmony to their otherwise fractious lives, where’s the incentive to put things right? DNA is a TYD Theatre Makers production.

One of My Biggest ‘Growing Pains’ for the Business is Finding the Right People.

henever we have recruited new team members, we are extremely careful about finding the right people that fit into our team. As an employer, I work very hard to try and build a positive work environment; finding people with the right mindset is a huge part of that.

Come and join our fantastic team!

We have been very restricted this year, but we like to have ‘team building days’, where we may go and carry out some physical activities such as tobogganing, or raft building, or something mentally challenging, such as ‘the escape rooms.’ We have not been able to do much this year unfortunately, but we have our first activity since before lockdown booked in at the end of May.

BY COLEEN EVERITT, ALTO ELECTRICAL LIMITED

husband and I often take our young children in the office with us. I believe that this is one of the key reasons for having this friendly, family atmosphere. We are welcoming our new Operations Manager, John, into the company this week, and we are very much looking forward to working with him and his extensive experience that will be able to help us to perfect our performance as a company and achieve more than ever before.

Job Opportunity We are looking to expand our team, so if you are, or somebody you know is, a qualified electrician, or would like to train to be an electrician, then the best way to apply is to send a CV and covering letter to Recruit@AltoElectrical.co.uk to be considered for a future with us.

I am very proud of the Alto team; they are genuine, kind, competent and professional. I know, like, and trust each and every team member. I would actually have no problem leaving them in charge of the baby if it was ever necessary, and any new mum will understand how much that means! Everyone at Alto is hard-working and has a positive outlook and a good sense of humour. We have a mutual understanding of trust and respect, something that is so important for any healthy workplace. We are family-oriented, and my

Mortgage Advice

What Size Mortgage Could You Afford?

ADVICE FROM LUCA PALUMBO, MORTGAGE & PROTECTION CONSULTANT

hen you apply for a mortgage, how much you can afford may seem like a mystery. There is no secret behind the outcome, just a simple formula. Here are the factors lenders consider

for your affordability.

• YOUR INCOME is still used to consider what you can afford. You’ll need to prove how much your income is and how it is broken down i.e. salary, overtime, bonuses, commission, pension, benefits and allowances. Some lenders will only take a portion of non-regular income – finding the right one for your income is the key to your affordability.

• YOUR CREDIT SCORE is checked with a Credit Reference Agency before agreeing to lend. Your score will reflect any issues in the last six years, such as defaults, County Court Judgements, ‘Individual Voluntary Arrangements’ or bankruptcy. These issues will affect whether a lender will lend, how much they will lend and the interest rate.

• YOUR DEPOSIT demonstrates a certain level of financial responsibility. A higher deposit also lowers the lender’s risk. The more you have saved, the more you’ll be able to borrow. • YOUR OUTGOINGS are taken into consideration; lenders consider how much you spend on essentials such as: food, household products, bills, debts, car/ travel, insurances and medical items. • FUTURE OUTGOINGS are considered in your affordability. They’ll consider the likelihood of various circumstances occurring, including redundancy, serious illness or the birth of a baby. If you’re pregnant or you have children, the cost of raising children will be reflected in your borrowing. • FUTURE INTEREST RATE changes could impact your affordability. Based on lender assumptions, they will check your income after your essential outgoings and spending to ensure funds are available to pay if your rate raises. Lenders assess affordability differently which could mean that one will lend you more than another. We, at Agentis, have the tools and experience to match your circumstances with the right lender for you.

*Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage*

Employment Advice from Odin HR Consultancy

Misconduct Investigations?

n employer might be forgiven for thinking it fair to dismiss an employee seen out drinking by a manager whilst allegedly ill in bed and unable to attend work.

However, last month’s BBC report that driver, Colin Kane, had won his claim of unfair dismissal against Debmat Surfacing Ltd in such circumstances, highlights the critical importance to employers of following a fair investigation and dismissal process. Manager, Shaun Johnson, was driving when he saw Mr Kane smoking outside a social club on March 9th, 2020, his first day of absence. Mr Johnson informed the Managing Director, John Turner, who then rang Mr Kane. Mr Turner’s account was that Colin Kane had told him that he had “been bad in bed all day with his chest”. See the full case report at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/ media/60bdee22d3bf7f4bd842e22f/Mr_C_Kane_v_ Debmat_Surfacing_Ltd_2501862-20_Reasons.pdf

So, what went wrong for Debmat Surfacing? The law relating to misconduct cases The employer is required to undertake as much of an investigation into the misconduct as is “reasonable in all the circumstances” and “to follow a fair disciplinary procedure”. The Newcastle Employment Tribunal found a number of flaws in Debmat’s investigation and that its disciplinary procedure “fell below the standard expected from a reasonable employer”. Key things to bear in mind to ensure a reasonable investigation are: ●

Taking written accounts from witnesses to any alleged misconduct as soon as possible.

●

Those who have given witness accounts should not have any part in leading an investigation, including any interview with the employee alleged to have committed the misconduct.

●

Widening the investigation to include other potential or likely witnesses and taking written accounts.

●

Checking that your company Disciplinary Policy includes the acts that you intend to position as misconduct or gross misconduct. In this case, Debmat placed considerable reliance on the point that any action by an employee while they are off sick that delays their return to work is misconduct and that Mr Kane should not be smoking and drinking when off work with a bad chest, but the Tribunal judge found that there was nothing in Debmat’s brief Disciplinary Policy to this effect.

Disciplinary procedure Avoid legal challenges that the person holding the disciplinary hearing is biased and/or that the outcome is pre-judged: A manager who has been (or should have been) included as a witness to the alleged misconduct or who was involved in the investigation should not handle the disciplinary hearing.

●

Check the facts and be clear of the events that you are presenting to the employee to answer in the disciplinary hearing.

●

This includes specifying clearly what the nature of misconduct is that the employee is alleged to have carried out.

●

Follow a fair appeal process and look properly into any points raised by the employee.

●

Odin HR can advise and support on misconduct investigations and the disciplinary process.

During lockdown, our gardens have become more important than ever, as we have grown our own vegetables, added decorative lighting and ornaments, invested in furniture, and splashed out on hot tubs and outdoor bars.

• Take a walk around your garden and check things that may be appealing to a thief – an unlocked back gate or shed (particularly if the shed contains expensive garden tools/machinery or bikes). • Get a reputable locksmith to secure gates and sheds. • Lock away ladders or anything which could be used to gain entry to your home. • CCTV surveillance will allow you to view your garden and any unwelcomed activity from your home.

No Problem

• Install some sensory/outdoor lighting.

No Call Out Charge

• Alarm the garage to provide additional security or think about installing garage roller shutter doors.

Gutters Cleared

• If your fencing is ﬂimsy, broken panels could provide easy access to intruders, so consider investing in some new and improved fencing or panels.

We remove leaves - moss - grass - growth & debris

• Pack away out of sight any garden tools or equipment. Even if you take a break from cutting the front lawn, keep your mower out of reach of opportunist thieves.

Before & After

• Secure expensive plants with wire pegs dug into the ground around the root ball. • Use a security pen to mark items like garden furniture, ornaments or trampolines, with your postcode. • Consider defensive planting like prickly hedges or shrubs. • Join a local Neighbourhood Watch Group like www.ourwatch.org.uk 8000+ Reviews 4.96

Yvonne considers that her interest in, and ability to communicate with clients who may have sight and hearing issues, could make her a very useful, reliable cleaner to call upon. Please contact Yvonne on 07711 213981 to arrange for an introductory meeting – it could be the best call you’ll ever make!
