Introduction

Welcome to Your February Issue.

Well, 2018 is well and truly with us, as we’re already focusing on Valentine’s Day in this bulging edition of your “favourite freeby”! It’s really heartening to hear that there are lots of you who are finding, month on month, the magazine getting more interesting, with an even wider range of features and articles covered. Thank you for this endorsement of our team’s dedication, and long may it continue!

Our contributors have brought together a whole host of golden, not daffodils, but ideas instead, to make this year’s Valentine’s Day your best ever!

Claire x

So, farewell “Dry January”, and that alcohol detox wasn’t too bad after all, was it? I hear some people managed it by just sticking to London Dry gin, but it must have been a struggle!

This month, we’re expecting the worst of the winter weather, if the “old wives tales” and the Met. Office are to be believed, so make sure you’re well wrapped up and everything is in place for a fabulous Valentine’s Day. Spring will soon be here!

And, as Britain’s next great hope on the tennis court, Kyle Edmund, battles his way up the rankings in the Australian Open, I’m reminded of an old saying, which all Valentine’s Day fans will endorse, “Love means nothing in tennis, but it’s everything in life”.

Enjoy the read!

Valentine's Day - February 14th - What’s that all about then?

Take a brief romantic stroll through the centuries, up to today’s commercial orgy of flowers, jewellery and chocolates.

In Ancient Rome, February 13th, 14th and 15th were celebrated as “Lupercalia”, a pagan fertility festival, seen as a basis for a celebration of love on this date.

AD 289 - A Christian, Valentine of Rome, is martyred under Emperor Claudius. While in jail, this priest is said to have converted his jailer by healing his blind daughter’s sight. He is later said to have fallen in love with the daughter, sending her a note saying “From your Valentine”, but this is apocryphal.

AD 496 - Pope Gelasius declared February 14th to be “St Valentine’s Day”, a Christian feast day to match the still-popular pagan festival of Lupercalia.

AD 1382 - Geoffrey Chaucer writes his Parlement of Foules (or “Parliament of Fowls”), which is widely taken to be the first linking of St Valentine’s Day to romantic love. Celebrating the engagement of Richard II of England and Anne of Bohemia, he wrote: “For this was on St. Valentine’s Day/ When every fowl cometh there to choose his mate”.

AD 1601 - St Valentine’s Day has entered the popular consciousness to the extent that Shakespeare mentions it in Ophelia’s lament in “Hamlet”: “To-morrow is Saint Valentine’s day,/ All in the morning betime,/And I a maid at your window,/To be your Valentine.”

2

Mid-18th century - The passing of lovenotes becomes popular in England, a precursor to the St Valentine’s Day card as we know it today.

Early ones are made of lace and paper.

1797 – “The Young Man’s Valentine Writer” is published, suggesting appropriate rhymes and messages, and, as postal services became more affordable, the anonymous St Valentine’s Day card became possible. By the early 19th century, they become so popular that factories start to mass-produce them.

Mid-1980s - The commercialisation continues: noting the sales effect on chocolate, flowers and cards, the diamond industry gets involved, promoting St Valentine’s Day as a time for giving jewellery and so the “tradition” takes off.

AD 2018 - An estimated 1 billion St Valentine’s Day cards will be sent worldwide this year, making it the second most card-heavy celebration, after Christmas.

“It Takes Two” - How Renu Can Help You!

by Claire Saunders, Renu - Health, Beauty & Fitness

W

e know the saying that goes, “Less is more”, but let’s be honest. Sometimes, two is just plain better than one. When it comes to working out, having a friend along for the ride can be beneficial.

You can get a serious workout, without being serious – it’s okay to have fun. In fact, the more fun your workouts are, the more you’re going to look forward to, and be committed to, them over the long-term. There’s absolutely no doubt that the right friend to exercise with can make your workouts more fun. Being able to laugh, encourage and motivate will make them much more enjoyable. Here are some of the benefits of working out with a friend:

Fewer skipped workouts Scheduling a gym session with a friend helps hold you accountable for getting your workout in. Meeting someone to exercise with not only motivates you to show up, but to work hard as well.

Push yourself further Exercising with another person pushes you to do your workout and do it to the best of your ability. A bit of

friendly banter and encouragement can mean you get a little bit more out of your exercise session.

Try new exercises Going to the gym with a friend is the perfect time to try out new exercises or classes. When trying something new, your friend will provide a confidence boost and keep your workouts interesting. At Renu, you can try up to nineteen classes a week, as part of your membership.

Time Flies “Time flies when you’re having fun!”… or at least when you are distracted. Having someone to chat with lets you focus on something other than just your workout, making the time go by faster.

Recover together Socialising can often be a reason you may get out of your exercise routine. A friend who’s worked up a sweat with you is likely to want to join you for a healthy post-exercise meal or snack, so you get the best of both worlds!

If you would like a free trial, for either you or your friend, please call us on 01778 423923.

The Five Star Word Is Out for Empire Gym

by Matt Weston

Hundreds of glowing reviews mean you don’t have to take our word for it!

S

ocial Media as a marketing vehicle is extremely valuable these days. It’s quick, direct, easy to use and targeted. It gives people an opportunity to speak openly and immediately about the way a service or product makes them feel. This, in effect, holds businesses to account, more so than ever, in the way they conduct themselves and look after their customers.

There is no hiding place. But, for us, this is superb news and allows us to stand out from the crowd.

Our greatest pleasure at Empire is to make a person feel good; to improve a person’s day; to bring a realisation to a person that they are infinitely more capable than they ever believed; to raise people up and show them that genuine customer service, family values and a willingness to invest time and the personal touch means that a gym visit is a wholesome experience of wellbeing.

Totally averse to the often less personal reality found in some corporate institutions.

People arrive with a hope of progress and leave with confidence, structure, support and a glow of optimism.

Enough talking from me though; here is a selection of genuine reviews, (that can be found and verified on our Facebook page).They are a very powerful testament to Empire and we are extremely grateful that people take the time to write and share such feelings….

“I’m not an avid gym goer (I’d prefer to be at home eating fish and chips from Linfords), but Empire, on a regular basis, makes me change my mind.

The Empire team are so extremely helpful and ridiculously caring that it makes going to the gym, not only worthwhile for all the health benefits, but also just to see a familiar face. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.” - Laura Willox 01/08/17.

“Empire is the friendliest, cleanest, most welcoming gym that I’ve ever been to. And I can’t recommend

their Personal Training enough, with Matt and Dave respectively. The whole family are lovely, and that’s the extended family too - aka the customers that attend the gym. I was recently asked if I would consider moving away from the Deepings and my response was, “Ooo no, I’d miss my gym”. To which I was told, “You’d find a new gym that you liked just as much”. And honestly, I genuinely don’t think I would. Empire is unique and that’s what makes it special.” - Sophie Danby 18/05/17.

“I don’t normally do reviews unless somewhere is either really good or really bad, and I can quite honestly say that Empire is one of the best gyms I have ever been to. Everything from the facilities and cleanliness to the helpful, friendly staff and customers. People of all ages, abilities and all walks of life training together.

my doorstep! What I love the most about this place is its sense of pride that the people who run it have over it, as do the people who use it as well....this is shown by how immaculate the place is kept. There’s a lot to be said for a group of people (rather than in corporate gyms), who have invested heavily in their own time, sweat and money to bring a fabulous facility to a local community, such as Deeping. It’s clear too that they never rest on their laurels, as they listen to their patrons’ ideas or suggestions and continually try to bring to the table anything that will ensure its continued success. They offer a fantastic facility for extremely competitive prices....they have fantastic links with the local community and work closely with local charities....they are a very welcoming team and have always got time to listen or chat....fantastic choice of INCLUSIVE classes...very high spec kit and machines … beautifully air-conditioned....any age, ability, aim in life is fully welcomed and supported. I could go on and on about this place but suffice it to say, while you may drive by and feel that the front facade gives little away, walking through the doors will utterly change any preconceptions you may have had about gyms....totally!

For me, I have finally found somewhere I feel that will keep me motivated on my journey to attain long-term health and fitness. Give this place a visit, you won’t be disappointed.....Continued success to the Empire team!

Confidence, Self-esteem and Doubt

by Nicole Woodcock, Hummingbird Hypnotherapy

L

ife is a wonderful thing, but does it pass you by? We all go through life not knowing what is around the corner. There is a certain routine path to growing up that has to be taken - going to school, further education, job prospects ... but do you ever think, “Is this it?”

I often sit with clients who have spent years worrying, every single day consumed in the past, (about what they have done and should it have been done differently), or the future, (what will happen tomorrow, next week, next year?)

Can you imagine then just focusing on now? Right now! What are you doing? Where are you? Just take a look around you and embrace what you see. Are you comfortable?

What’s the weather like? Are you on a break at work or pretending to be? What are you grateful for?

We can often get stuck on that monotonous wheel of life and feel like it’s the same thing, day in - day out. This can be quite a negative experience, resulting in self doubt and overthinking. We have all thought about the “What ifs?” But what if you could change

that thought process? What if you could make your brain work more productively for you? See the positive in all things, and allow those negative thoughts and experiences to be in the past, where they belong?

If there is something you want to do or change, how can you make it happen for you?

HYPNOTHERAPY puts all of these doubts into perspective.

Over time, it increases confidence and gives you the belief you need to make those changes; it increases self-esteem and puts you back into the driving seat of your life.

Break the routine, plan that goal, get creative, embrace that person you know you are. Step out of the rat race, turn off that phone and be in “the now”!

Hummingbird Hypnotherapy works with adults and children from the age of six years, to help them conquer anxiety, low mood, stress, insomnia, addiction, fears … and much more.

All new clients can book a FREE initial consultation.

Spinroom Studio

– (“It doesn’t get easier – You get stronger!)”

One of the most impressive success stories in our local area must surely be that of Claire Cross. Just five years ago, Claire would hire the old crèche at The Deepings Leisure Centre and offer a double spin class for the few takers who were heeding the long-held mantra that aerobic activity was good for body and mind … and here was somewhere that offered a venue for a couple of years, albeit very small and cramped!

now means that there is plenty of room to swing, not just the proverbial cat, but much more besides!

A move to premises on the Northfields Industrial Estate enabled momentum to be maintained for a few months, until the present site at 113 Spalding Road, Market Deeping, became available. Fast forward to 2018 and The Spinroom Studio can now offer over thirty classes, with fourteen instructors, all willing and able to help you achieve your fitness goal, whatever that goal may be. An enormous 210 square metre area of functional fitness training space and equipment

Claire owes a debt of gratitude, not just to her very supportive husband, David, who has been with her all the way on this fabulous journey, but to her many loyal clients and very supportive community in which she is proud to be living. Her Facebook pages scream out, “Fantastic, warm, welcoming home of fitness”, “great atmosphere”, “amazing place, amazing staff”, “best non-judgemental place” amongst many other accolades.

Recent developments have seen the likes of Deeping Swimming Club adopt functional fitness training at Spinroom, to enhance the potential of their rising stars at local and indeed, national level.

Five Adventures for Explorers Seeking the Clare Lockett Finer Things in Life!

Travel Counsellor You don’t have to forego sumptuous sheets and gourmet cuisine to be an explorer these days. Read on to discover far-flung destinations where you’ll find more than a little luxury…

Peru on the Belmond Andean Explorer Imagine a journey that combines the charm of opulent train travel, from decades gone by, with the dazzling landscape of South America. With space for 48 passengers, South America’s first luxury sleeper train offers one- and two-night itineraries in Peru. Your adventure will take you to Cusco, Colca Canyon, Lake Titicaca, and more.

ships, as they travel far and wide, exploring the glorious blue waters and islands of Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.

Galápagos Islands The mystery of the Galápagos Islands and the wonders to be found there are part of their charm, as is the task of getting to these islands, nestled in the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of Ecuador. One of the best ways to explore them is by boat, and you’ll find luxurious vessels complete with balconies, gourmet cuisine and cocktails while you watch the sun set.

Uganda to see mountain gorillas Head to the brilliant green rainforests in Uganda to spot endangered mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. Having long been on Travel Counsellor, Beverley’s travel wish list, she finally went on a gorilla trek and commented, “Words cannot describe what it feels like to sit in the presence of such powerful, yet gentle, animals. Uganda is a special country with so much more to see than just gorillas though.”

The stunning wildlife includes iguanas, sea turtles, penguins and giant tortoises. Lava rock formations and cliffs are home to birds found only here, like the blue-footed boobies, red-footed boobies, the waved albatross and the Galapagos hawk. Under the water, marvel at the untouched coral reefs and shoals of tropical fish, manta rays and baby sharks.

Canada for a luxury retreat in the snow The Rocky Mountaineer train is a charming and luxurious way to see the breath-taking landscape, or you could head to a town or city and base your adventure from there, with lots of options, from lodges to boutique hotels.

And for accommodation? You’ll find beautiful lodges and luxury tented camps in the wilderness.

Asia on a tall ship Travelling across the seven seas always seems a little more adventurous than soaring through the air, and if you’re picturing a giant wooden vessel, cutting through the waves, sails billowing, it’s time to step aboard a tall ship!

If you’re in the Rockies, Fairmont Banff Springs is a superb castle-style hotel, perched in the beautiful scenery surrounding Banff, while Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise lies on the shores of the mesmerising, bright blue, Lake Louise.

With mahogany panels, dining rooms, swimming pools, libraries and modern luxuries, you’ll find them all on these tall

By now the festive season has become a distant memory, but I must express my thanks to all the retailers in Market Deeping for their wonderful Christmas windows which looked great and cheered us on our way. The Carol Singing in the Market Place was a great success with over £300 collected for the Mayors Charities – a huge thank you to everyone and especially to the traders who stayed ‘open ‘til late.’

Just before Christmas I was delighted to welcome the Mohicans Cub pack from Market Deeping to the Town Hall.

They had some interesting discussions, mainly about the litter and the lack of homes. Where to build new homes was a problem but, interestingly, the corner of John Eve field was suggested, together with the demolition of the Town Hall, in order to build flats in its place!

Talking of homes, the development of 240 houses on Northfields will be going ahead, and planning for 145 homes on Linchfield Road has been submitted for consideration. Recently, SKDC have announced the building of council homes on Burnside Avenue and round the scout hut in Wellington Way. The hut is the only link the town now has with R.A.F. Langtoft, (which played a part the country’s defence in World War Two). I wonder what the reaction would be if the scout hut was demolished?

The New Local Plan for the SKDC area is being compiled by the District Council but our own local Neighbourhood Plan, Deepings First, is working on its proposals for the whole of the Deepings. It is very important that people of Deeping contribute to the plan because when it is adopted it will become part of planning policy and will be considered alongside the District Council’s Plan.

Market Deeping recently said a sad goodbye to two long-established businesses, Advanced Handling, who manufacture lifting tables, and Terry Wrights Cycles.

We wish both companies success, as they re-locate in Peterborough.

Deeping is looking forward to the Gang Show which takes place on February 16th and 17th, at the Deepings School.

Please go and support the young people who have been rehearsing since September; it will be great fun.

Ending on a sad note. A Memorial Service was held for Mo Tray, (Town Mayor from 2009-2010), at St Guthlac’s Church on January 27th. Her ashes have been scattered in the Spinney. Mo was an enthusiastic supporter of Market Deeping and worked hard as a councillor, and as a volunteer with other organisations, which included the Community Centre. She was proud to march with the British Legion on Remembrance Sunday - a wellrespected member of the Deepings community and one who will be sadly missed.

Your Lifestyle

The Dazzling Kingfisher

by Lydia Pinfold

I

f you have not yet made a New Year’s Resolution, make yours getting to know your animal neighbours!

There are plenty of birds to find all year round within the Fenlands, as well as those who migrate to the UK. However, there is one bird which is beautifully bright, but often hard to spot … the dazzling kingfisher.

A few months back, I was set up in a small vertical hide down a riverbank, near Bourne, where there were a number of kingfisher nesting holes on the parched bank opposite. A branch was set up in front of the hide, tantalisingly hanging over the river. Kingfishers use these hanging perches to hunt for fish or to relax in the sun. After waiting for a few hours, a pair of kingfishers came into view and I was amazed to get this image, just before they flew into their nest! Both female and male kingfishers can be identified by the colour of their beaks; the bottom beak of a female kingfisher is bright orange, whereas the males have all-black beaks.

Remember to use all your senses, not just sight. The call of a kingfisher is high pitched and emitted as short bursts, unlike a melody of notes associated with most birds.

TOP TIP FOR

FEBRUARY Use your smartphone to download the ‘Wildlife Trust’s Nature Finder app’. It helps locate wildlife trusts and reserves all over the UK, and gives you information on the wildlife you can find there.

Deeping Lakes Nature Reserve has an ideal kingfisher perch along the main river, situated directly opposite a large tree, providing the perfect cover for you and your camera! It’s the perfect set up for amateurs and advanced photographers, so all should give it a try.

Feel free to get in touch for help finding it.

1st thurlby scouts bring christmas cheer to rose lodge care home

Market Deeping’s Rose Lodge Care Home had a very special visit from the 1st Thurlby Scouts Group just before Christmas, when the beavers, cubs, scouts and explorers took turns to sing a selection of favourite festive carols to the residents. The scout group enjoyed chatting to the residents after the singing and there was a very festive atmosphere.

“It was lovely to have the scout group visit us; this is the second year they’ve sung carols for us and we hope that this will become an annual tradition,” said Home

Manager, Natalie White. “Our residents thoroughly enjoyed their evening with the children and young people”.

Rose Lodge Care Home is currently home to thirtythree residents and offers residential and dementia care in a homely setting. The care home opened in September 2015 and has become well established in Market Deeping.

An Appeal for Rainbow Hospice A heart-felt request has reached us from a reader, Mrs Kerrie Morgado, and we include some of her e-mail in the hope that you kind readers out there can help her raise much-needed funds for the Rainbow Hospice.

“Rainbow is a Hospice who supports children and young people, and is a place where lifelimited children and their families can find care and support. My family and I have suffered the very sad loss of my beautiful granddaughter, Rosalie, who was just seven days old when she passed away. When Rosalie was born, we were informed that she would only survive for a matter of hours/days, as her bowels had not developed as they should.

During my daughter’s pregnancy, and after Rosalie was born, the charity ‘Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People’ were phenomenal in helping my daughter, and are still in contact with her, offering support, which has helped immensely in our grieving of Rosalie.

In memory of Rosalie, and to raise funds for ‘Rainbow Hospice’, we will be holding a Charity Evening on Saturday

WINNER announced Huge congratulations to Mark Pickles, the winner of our Hasngrohe Shower Kit. Pictured here at Plumb City in Peterborough.

March 10th 2018 at The Cresset in Peterborough. During the evening, we will have a raffle and an auction.

We are hoping, and would be very grateful if you would be willing to offer a prize for either our raffle or auction or, if more convenient for yourselves, a cash donation, which would allow us to purchase a prize to raffle or to auction.

Should you be able to help in any way, please send your donation to Kerrie Morgado, 82 High Street, Billingborough, Sleaford, NG34 1QD, otherwise I would be happy to collect.

Should you have any questions associated with this request, please do not hesitate to contact me, (via e-mail at: lucy. jackson1998@hotmail.co.uk, or: 07850 092 115).

Thanking you all for having read this request and hopefully acting upon it.”

1940s Evening of Music and Dance - Saturday February 17th Let Lincolnshire’s finest make it an evening to remember at Bourne Corn Exchange, as you are transported back in time by the hugely impressive Dream Belles.

This duo re-create the sounds of the 1940s and it’s up to you whether or not you dress for the occasion in the “glad rags” of the day. One thing is for sure though – you will be entertained … make no mistake!

This is but one of many activities that Bourne and District Lions have been responsible for having organised. Santa Claus made his traditional journeys around Bourne and district in the month leading up to Christmas, thanks to the f e brua ry 2018

organisational prowess of the Lions, and they would like to publicly thank the residents of Bourne and the surrounding villages for their generous donations given during those visits. During December 2017, over £8000 was raised which, over the next year, will be distributed to good local causes.

Although a lot of the work by the Lions goes unnoticed by the majority, Bourne Lions has, over the last forty years, raised thousands and thousands of pounds, helping to make our community a better place to live, and helping those less fortunate than ourselves.

Every penny donated to the Lions goes to where it is needed. Not one penny is spent on administration.

If you would like to know more about Bourne Lions, please contact the Club Secretary on 0845 833 2810 or e-mail: bournelions@uwclub.net.

Consumer Advice

Simple Steps to get your Finances in Order – Professionally and Hassle-free!

THERE aren’t many of us who particularly enjoy talking about financial planning (unless of course it’s our chosen career path!) – and perhaps even less of us who fully understand the many courses of action available.

Financial planning is an ongoing process to help us make sensible decisions about money that can, ultimately, help us achieve our goals in life.

It’s not just about buying products like a pension or an ISA. There are many decisions which we have to make during the course of our lives and, at significant life stages, that means carefully planning our cash.

There’s choosing the right mortgage, saving or investing for our family, and protecting them in the event of the unexpected, and let’s not forget about planning for later life and retirement.

There is also the legal side to consider. It may be a surprise to know that – according to research – one in four people aged fifty-five and over do not have a will, a legal document which determines who receives your assets and estate when you die.

19/04/2016 10:05 And, while many of us don’t feel comfortable about

talking openly on the subject of wills, or Lasting Power of Attorney, a greater understanding of the process and banishing the taboo could prevent your affairs being left in the hands of strangers when you die.

Will-making is certainly not just a thought that should be reserved for the older generation. In fact, making a will or an LPA while younger, healthy and of sound mind can allow you to get your finances in order and continue to enjoy your life – knowing that things will be taken care of when you are not long able to, or have the mental capacity to do so.

Other important topics can include wealth preservation, inheritance tax and planning/ paying for your funeral.

So, with all this to think about – as well as constant changes in legislation – where is your first port of call for advice and help?

As the sister company of the highly successful and respected “Safe Local Trades”, the relatively new and fast-growing “Safe Local Services” has members who are experts in all these financial fields, each offering a professional and friendly service to customers in and around the PE postcode area.

Your Finances

Pensions - Advice from Liberty Partnership - by Richard Ash, Director - Liberty Partnership Ltd

T

he biggest changes to pensions in nearly one hundred years have now been given the go-ahead by the Government, and it means you will have far greater flexibility over what you can do with your pension pot.

The rules came into force on April 6th 2015, and the changes to how you can use your pension are far reaching.

Previously, you had been able to take 25% of your pension pot as a tax-free lump sum from the age of fifty-five. The new rules allow additional flexible access to your pension funds which effectively means that you can take additional withdrawals beyond the initial 25% tax-free lump sum.

The changes to the rules may be relevant to you if:

• You are considering that ‘once in a lifetime’ adventure or purchase.

• You wish to help your children.

When working out what is best for you, it is will be important to bear in mind that part of the funds you take will be taxed at your marginal rate of income tax, so you could find yourself paying a higher rate of tax than you might expect.

There may well be other more appropriate ways for you to plan to achieve your goals that you should consider.

We believe that it is essential that you take professional advice to achieve a clear understanding of all options, tax implications and strategies that are available to you.

• You are looking to retire early.

• You want to achieve higher levels of income than those offered by your existing pension scheme.

• You wish to repay debt such as a mortgage or loan.

So, if you would like to receive advice then please contact our office today and arrange a free initial consultation.

The Technology Site

Which Internet Security Suite should I Use? by Taff Lovesey, Lites PC

A

t one time I was happy to recommend the use of free antivirus solutions. However, in recent years, things have changed and viruses now account for only a small part of the threat to your online security, as criminals turn to other, more successful methods, for stealing your data or loading malicious content onto your system. As such, my recommendation is now to invest in a full Internet Security suite.

carry out a summary of the top review sites to determine which solutions are performing most effectively.

Areas where the free internet security solutions are weak and usually fall short are:

➋ Kaspersky (see note below)

At the latter end of 2017 the following security solutions were the top ten performing solutions, comparing results from several independent test sources. ➊ Bitdefender

➌ Norton

Complex Malicious Files: Over the years, malware have become more complex, aggressive, and often undetectable by basic antivirus software.

➍ Bullguard ➎ Trend

Malicious Websites: Using schemes, cybercriminals can lure you to phishing sites, fake websites designed to steal your information. You can also land on sites that check your computer for software vulnerabilities it can exploit so that it can install malware.

➏ McAfee ➐ Avast Free ➑ Avira

Privacy Risks: With the complicated and ever-changing privacy settings of most social networks, you could be sharing more information than you intended. Every detail you post online could be collected to build up a persona and used for identity theft.

➒ AVG ➓ Webroot The top three, (Bitdefender, Kaspersky and Norton) were streets ahead of the chasing pack.

Information Theft: Data-stealing malware uses different tactics to get your information for the purposes of fraud.

None of the testers recommended using the in-built Windows Defender as a sole source of protection.

SPAM and Malicious E-mail: Today’s spam is crafted to closely resemble legitimate e-mail. Sometimes, the only distinction between a fake and a real message are a few altered links.

A word on Kaspersky The corporate offices of Kaspersky are based in Moscow and recently the British Government advised against using Kaspersky due to this; citing it as a potential gateway for the Russians to access personal and restricted data.

Unsecured WiFi and Home Network Security: Cybercriminals can easily hide behind an unsecure network and use your connection to perform malicious activities.

Some reviews support this view and advise against its use, others say it is scare-mongering. Personally, I would not use Kaspersky as my main solution, given the current political climate.

Do I need a Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Welfare? by Nick Ash, Managing Director Most people are now familiar with the concept of a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) – it is a document that allows someone else to make a decision on your behalf if you can’t make one for yourself.

Almost everyone that I meet is comfortable with the Property and Financial Affairs LPA because “it does what it says on the tin”. Sadly, this is not true of the Health and Welfare LPA. Many people believe that they don’t need one or that it is unimportant. One of the most common misconceptions is that it relates only to endof-life decisions and acts as a DNR (do not resuscitate) instruction.

I would argue that a Health and Welfare LPA is more important than a Property and Finance document, although you really should have both.

The Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Welfare operates in three key ways – Firstly, it enables someone to talk to your doctors and other medical professionals on your behalf. Without it, patient confidentiality would prevent full and detailed discussions.

sustaining treatment, meaning that you can be let go with dignity if that is what you would have wanted.

But, the important stuff falls between these two extremes.

An LPA for Health and Welfare comes into its own when someone needs care. It allows your attorneys to make the critical decisions about what care you receive, where it is delivered, who it is delivered by, how often and, in conjunction with the Property and Financial Affairs LPA, how it is paid for.

Without a Lasting Power of Attorney for Health and Welfare, your Local Authority Adult Social Care Department will make decisions on your behalf. They might discuss it with your family, but they don’t have to.

At Will & Probate Services, we offer the opportunity to make both LPAs, (Health and Welfare and Property and Financial Affairs) for just £400, plus the Office of the Public Guardian registration fees, (currently £82.00 per document).

Call us today to make yours – 01778 382723.

In extreme situations, it can enable your attorneys to make decisions about life-

Do I Have to Use the Property Lawyer My Estate Agent is Recommending?

By Michelle Rickard, PDR Property Lawyers

This is something I hear on a daily basis, and the quick answer is ‘no’.

When your estate agent recommends a conveyancing solicitor, licensed conveyancer or property lawyer, it is likely the firm they are recommending are paying them a “referral fee”.

This fee, which can be in the hundreds of pounds, is usually passed on to you, the client.

Read the small print before you sign any agreements! Every law firm should detail how much they receive from the estate agent for passing business to them. The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) have a strict referral code.

Solicitors and licensed conveyancers are required to set out a full quotation which details their fees, the disbursement costs and associated expenses with your transaction. They are also required to reveal how much they paid for your referral, and I suggest you ask them for details of the referral fee they have paid for your (potential) custom.

In addition to checking the amount of money you, the client, are paying for your referred business,

I strongly recommend that you get at least three quotes for your conveyancing. Fees for leasehold and freeholds within different valuation brackets can vary widely. Also search for reviews of the firms you are interested in working with.

In summary, when buying or selling a property it is vital that you appoint a lawyer that you can trust to act in your best interests; one who will have the experience to complete the transaction properly and in a timely manner, and who will charge you a fair price.

Everyone has the right to choose their own lawyer.

Both the SRA and the CLC rigorously state that its members are meant to ensure that their client has chosen them to act without pressure being exerted upon them to do so.

If you are being pressurised into choosing a lawyer as outlined above, refuse firmly and advise that you will seek the advice of the SRA or CLC – this usually does the trick!

History

Discovering . . . Lolham bridges

Rex Needle

L

olham is best known as a railway crossing over the main east coast line near West Deeping, but it does have a small farming community, a water mill and a string of five historic stone bridges, the oldest of them spanning the Maxey Cut just a few yards from the main east coast line and only wide enough to take single lane traffic.

The bridges of mellow stone stand on the site of an important Roman road, a branch of Ermine Street which ran from London to York, and are Grade II* listed dating back to the 17th century but are still able to cope with regular use by modern cars and farm vehicles.

The Lolham Bridges, as they are known, consist of a long causeway with several 17th century arches. One of the cut waters between the arches immediately north of the level crossing bears an inscription giving the date1642 but restored in 1721 while on another arch further north, which has projecting keystones, is carved the date 1790.

The arch rings are quite plain but those of the four semi-circular arches south of the crossing are chamfered. It would appear that the whole causeway was repaired during the second quarter of the 17th century because it was referred to in 1621 by the traveller Sir George Manners who wrote that “the decayed bridge at West Deeping, th’ ordinarie roade

40

D I S C O V E R I N G

T H E

Deepings

way from Lincolne to London, are verie fowle and dangerous”.

The railway line has attracted generations of train spotters but Lolham’s literary fame rests with the peasant poet John Clare (1793-1864), the farm labourer who lived hereabouts and became known for his celebration of the English countryside. He described the road that now runs north to West Deeping from Helpston, across nine bridges and over two railway crossings, in his poem The Flood: On Lolham Brigs in wild and lonely mood Ive seen the winter floods their gambols play Through each old arch that trembled while I stood Bent oer its wall to watch the dashing spray During the poet’s lifetime, the land around Lolham Bridges would have been the open fields that existed before the Enclosure Acts were introduced, regularly flooded in winter and a favourite haunt for a man who was totally immersed in nature with ample opportunity to study his beloved wildlife. Indeed, the area today remains a magnet for nature lovers and the perfect place to observe kingfishers, nightingales and sedge warblers, large numbers of wintering duck and over 200 species of plants.

Pets and Vets

Mrs Tiggy Winkle is Becoming Endangered - Alder Vets can help you to help them

by Zoe Reeve from Alder Vets

D

id you know that you might have a prehistoric creature living in your garden? Hedgehogs are one of our oldest native species – they shared the earth with sabre-toothed tigers and woolly mammoths 15 million years ago, and now they snuffle about in our gardens, helpfully eating the slugs and snails that damage our plants. Sadly, hedgehog numbers have declined sharply over the last fifty years, with the estimated population dropping from 36.5 million to just 1.5 million. Habitat loss has played a big role in their decline, as the hedgerows they call home are destroyed.

Despite their reduced numbers, we still see plenty of hedgehogs here in the practice, particularly as autumn turns to winter and those who are too small or unwell to hibernate are often found wandering about in daylight, a common sign of illness in this nocturnal species.

When a hedgehog is brought to us, our first task after examining it for injuries, is to warm it up as they are often hypothermic. We weigh the hedgehog – they need to weigh around 550-600g to survive hibernation, and many of the youngsters found at the beginning of winter are barely halfway to this goal. We will also often take a faecal sample to examine under the microscope – wild hedgehogs almost always have some internal worms which don’t usually bother healthy adults, but if the number of worms becomes too high, the infestation can make the hedgehog very ill and is sometimes fatal. We examine the sample to check how many worm eggs and larvae are present, and to identify the species so that we can begin the appropriate course of treatment, which usually involves daily injections for two weeks.

it is and call your vets for advice before moving it. If you are going to handle a wild hedgehog, put on gloves or use a towel – not only are they prickly, but they are also often carrying fleas and ticks! Place the poorly hedgehog in a box with a hot water bottle wrapped in a thick towel, and call your vet to arrange to bring it in.

The British Hedgehog Preservation Society website has lots of tips for making your garden hedgehog-friendly, and instructions for making a hedgehog feeding station so that you can put out food for your garden visitors without it being eaten by neighbourhood cats or foxes (cat food is a favourite among hedgehogs, although steer clear of any containing fish, and dried mealworms are also popular). Avoid using slug pellets or other poison, as this can be lethal to the hedgehogs that eat the slugs. If you are looking for a more hands-on way to help, we do have details of local hedgehog charities that may be in need of volunteers to look after baby hedgehogs until the spring arrives and they can be released.

Signs that a hedgehog may be unwell include disorientation (being out in daylight, walking in circles or staggering, not noticing when humans approach), excessive parasites such as ticks, noisy laboured breathing, leaving food uneaten and not curling into a ball when touched. If unsure, it’s best to leave it where

School News Butt Masters Achieve Lego Success for The Deepings School On a Saturday morning in early January, The Deepings School provided two teams, Butt Masters and Technose, to participate in the First Lego League, embarking on a full day of challenges revolving around the theme of “hydrodynamics”, (water).

Exciting Times at Market Deeping Primary School 2018 is going to be an exciting year for Market Deeping Community Primary School. Building work will soon begin on a new hall, studio space, offices and classroom, as the school prepares for expansion to cater for the town’s growth in coming years. However, it is not just the physical side of the school that is changing. The staff at the school are reviewing the curriculum and building links with the wider community.

January alone will see Years 5 and 6 visiting the Houses of Parliament and holding a debate; Reception will be stargazing with Peterborough’s Astronomy Society (they have been invaded by aliens and are hoping to guide them home pictured); Years 1 and 2 are learning all about food and hope to visit local restaurants and have their own pop-up restaurant for their parents; Years 3 and 4 will be comparing their lives with people in India.

Each team had to present their water-based project to a panel of professional engineers from Park Air Systems. Then their robot design and control programme was explained to software engineers to include information about their design choices.

With four attempts to gain the best possible score in the Robot challenge, the Technose team gained 70 points, placing them in the top four, but the Butt Masters achieved 150 points and won the trophy for the highest score.

Teams had a packed timetable and were fully engaged in all the tasks. At the end of the day, judges commented on the professionalism of both teams and awarded the Technose team the “Best Teamwork Award”, but the Butt Masters team performed extremely well in all categories and were crowned Regional Champions for South Lincolnshire!

As winners, they will represent both The Deepings School and South Lincolnshire in the UK and Ireland national final, to be held in Bristol. Well done to both teams.

The school is keen to develop further links with the community and would like to invite people in to present awards in our Friday assemblies. If you work locally, volunteer for a society or support community projects, please get in touch. www.mdcp.org.uk has all of our contact details.

Linchfield Community Primary School Year 3 at Linchfield C.P. School has started the new year with a bang with the topic, “Can I be a Sat. Nav.?” The children have been looking at maps of different scales, with a particular focus on their hometown of Deeping and its history. They are now asking the question, “Where will technology take gaming next?”, which will involve the children developing their skills and understanding of programming and algorithms, alongside exploring f e brua ry 2018

how video games have changed over the years . As a part of this exciting topic, Year 3 will even be visiting the National Videogame Arcade Museum in Nottingham, which they are hugely looking forward to!

In the Spotlight

Priory Church of Deeping St James

I

t’s an exciting time for the Priory Church, and not just because of the season. The church has been enlivened by two new regular attenders – the Fisk donkeys, who put in a regular appearance when off-duty from their Skegness services. On Christmas Eve, they walked obediently round the church carrying Mary and Joseph to the stable at the crib service, and on Palm Sunday they lead the procession of singing congregation and choir into church, celebrating Jesus’ arrival in Jerusalem. Twice a year might not seem very regular to some, perhaps, but as there are many folk who only come half as often, they deserve some credit!

But the new lease of life does not come exclusively from the donkeys. We held a very popular pet service in the Priory Hall garden in the autumn, and look to repeat that in the spring. The first pet service was to launch our new 9.00am Allsorts service on the fourth Sunday of the month – all sorts of worship for all sorts of people, especially those who baulk at a full-blown communion service. The pet service was followed by a Godly Play service the following month (imagine a sandpit with small wooden figures being placed to bring a bible story to life, with the invitation to imagine how cold the desert was….how Abraham felt…how scared Rebecca was….and so on), while the next month we watched a presentation on DVD by David Suchet of the divine plan to send Jesus into the world. All the services last around half an hour and are followed by breakfast in the hall, with its newly refurbished kitchen facilities.

SKA We are planning to make the hall much more available to the general public and to promote it as a venue for wedding receptions, with the option of a marquee on the lawn outside. As yet, the Priory Wedding Package is in embryonic form, so watch this space! We are open to talks with local businesses to see how we might work together on that front.

T

BEST MUSI

Another first in the making is the Priory Bake-Off during Lent; we WEDNESDAY 25 would like to invite villagers to bring along a different concoction £10.00 ADUL every Sunday in Lent. The resultant food will7.30PM be tasted by everyone straight after the 10.00am service, and people can vote for their favourite, with a small prize being awarded. The food to be cooked will be relevant to the season: pancakes, hot cross buns, Welsh cakes, simnel cake and a special cake for Easter.

Spring also sees us hosting a number of music events, and it is hoped to include in the Music@The Priory season a Big Band concert and a silent movie in church, with organ accompaniment and big screen projector, among other events.

Life at the Priory isn’t an endless round of fun, though: we have big challenges to face, such as how to fund the repair of the dry rot recently discovered in the hall. Grant applications are underway, and the church is doing its share of fundraising as well as donating as much as possible from rapidly diminishing funds. Yet we are convinced that God has a purpose for us here in DSJ and that we can play a vital part in the community beyond the church walls.

Hope to see you soon!

Rev Sue, Vicar, Priory Church

Motoring

Saccadic Masking

“Sorry mate, I didn’t see you”, is a familiar sound to cyclists and motorcyclists, and its acronym, ‘SMIDSY’, is becoming a regular excuse in motoring crashes.

Would you believe me if I said that you are blind for between forty minutes to an hour per day? Well, you are, and it’s a visual illusion where the brain selectively blocks processing during our eye movements. This phenomenon is called saccadic masking, or visual saccadic suppression.

A saccade is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes between two or more phases of fixation points in the same direction. Humans become effectively blind during a saccade, which is obviously very dangerous if you are a motorist.

When your eyes look from one point to another, we don’t actually see everything in a smooth continuous stream, in the way that a shaky camera captures a video. We actually view it as a series of individually separate and distinct blurry images when the eye pauses. Each of these blurry and shaky images is separated by a period of temporary blindness.

Our brain doesn’t like this motion of blurry images, so it automatically deletes the blurry details that come between those viewing points. This is not a problem. If you tried to process everything that you see, you would go insane, so your mind picks and chooses what to focus on. This is a trick of our brain which helps us to view things without getting dizzy or nauseated.

The accuracy of our sight diminishes greatly, the further an object is away from our direct eyesight. Objects viewed directly by the centre of our eye are seen with great detail, but those seen with peripheral vision remain unclear. This

phenomenon was first described by Erdman and Dodge in 1898. It was noted, during unrelated experiments, that a person could never see the motion of their own eyes. You can confirm this by looking in a mirror and continuously looking at your left eye and then your right eye, you won’t see them moving.

Our eyes send images to our brain in snapshots, and our brain then links all the frames, (fixations), to create one continuous loop. This is an illusion though, because between the images there are blind spots called saccades and we momentarily lose sight; we rely on an image sent by the brain that isn’t there.

This phenomenon is the cause of many motoring crashes and next month we will discuss remedies to avoid this.
