Savings & Investments By Darren Turnbull CFP,DMS,MCIBS Certified Financial Planner 01228 597986 dturnbull@financialconcepts.co.uk http://www.financialconcepts.co.uk

What to do next?

ANY INVESTORS who last summer managed to lock away their savings in one year term deposits have had a temporary respite from the difficulties of income generation. They will be very pleased they made the decision to lock in yields of 5% and more when they could. They will also be wondering what to do when these investments mature as safe yields of 5% or more are no longer on offer and they will join the rest of us who are making do with a very miserly return on their savings. It is unlikely that interest rates will rise much anytime soon and it is imperative that people take independent financial advice in respect of where to go next.

Presently for UK equities the average historic dividend yield relative to cash is close to a record high and suggests good equity value but before clients consider other asset classes in order to increase their income or potential capital growth, it is strongly recommended that they take Independent Financial Advice to ensure that any investment meets their risk profile and that they fully understand the greater risks involved with Equities, property, fixed interest and commodities. A big concern is those retired people who have seen a drop of over 75% in the interest rates on their savings and we would urge these clients to find a good independent adviser and ask for a review. Please remember that other forms of investment carry a greater degree of risk and that the value of the investments can fall as well as rise and it is imperative that you seek advice prior to investing.

The blues forms the basis for almost all

modern music and its history is a strange but fascinating musical journey

across cultures and continents. It origi-

nated from the music played by Afro

American slaves on the plantations of the southern states of America with

artists like Willie Dixon, Charlie Patten, Muddy Waters, BB King etc enjoying brief but limited popularity.

The music of those artists filtered into

the UK in the 50’s and 60’s with artists

like John Mayall and Alexis Corner

Local garden wins RHS Award S

T PETERS PRE-SCHOOL have received an Award of MMerit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Preschool manager Margaret Bravo and Bruce Walker, Landscape Architect with Westwood Landscape attended a ceremony this month to receive the Cumbria in Bloom award from Lord Cavendish.

The aim of the garden design was to encourage the children to learn about their natural environment and how

fruit and vegetables grow in a fun and engaging way. Many of the ideas came from the pupils as they drew pictures and described what they would like to see in their new garden. Features include an orchard, soft fruit zone, raised herb beds, a vegetable plot, a bog garden and hedgerow with native plants to encourage insects and birds. An outdoor classroom area allows the teachers to make the most of this fantastic resource and to enjoy some sunshine when it occasionally appears! The garden was built by Story Construction who kindly donated their time and materials and was planted by Westwood Nurseries. It has been a hive of activity with enthusiastic young gardeners keeping each other in line with their new skills! They have successfully grown a wide range of vegetables which they have proudly presented to their mums and even asked for some on their plate! Margaret Bravo has lead the project with great energy and enthusiasm which has spread to everyone involved and resulted in the planned development of a second garden and play area for the pre-school which will complete the facilities required. The design of this area includes water and sand play, games and picnic tables, tricycle zone, sensory planting, natural habitat areas and a class amphitheatre: all within a safe, enclosed space which will be accessed directly from the indoor classroom. Construction of this adventure area will progress through the Autumn. If you are passing St Peters do call in to the allotments to see the new garden- it is the one with the rows of cute little wellies!

Morag Brannock

ITH THE LATEST series of televised talent competitions currently on air it seems a great time to speak to someone who has witnessed the experience a little more closely. For that reason we focus on Morag; the mother of Andrew Johnston who put Carlisle on the map in 2008. I catch Morag on a Wednesday afternoon; Andrew has been practising on the piano and they are both resting the blisters having just returned from supporting friends in the Cumbrian Way Charity Walk where they were helping to raise money for the Radiotherapy Unit at the Cumberland Infirmary.

Initially their experience may never have happened. Having sent through an application in the same year as Paul Potts, he was unsuccessful. The following year Morag filled in another form, again thinking nothing more from it other than her son had a talent. This time however Andrew got to sing for the producers and was selected to sing for the Judges. Morag has always given Andrew her honest opinion and this is something he still appreciates today. Together, they just wanted the chance to hear Simon Cowell’s honest opinion of Andrew’s voice. Simon heard Andrew’s voice and the rest is history. Since the recording of his debut CD ‘One Voice’ Morag talks of how not much has changed. As a family they still do the same things with the only real difference being they now have an added parallel life. Andrew’s story and voice have touched people worldwide and with the running of his website www.andrewjohnstonmusic.com and the comments from as far afield as Bahrain and Argentina it is easy to see how Morag’s decision to fill in that form has made a difference.

page 4

“..the mother of Andrew Johnston..”

Even with worldwide support Carlisle can not be forgotten. Morag sees our community as home and with the whole world to choose from it is nice to hear of the support we have given the family.

Morag’s support is the result of the love of a son and this is something we can all relate to. She believes that if you have a passion or dream it can not be left, dreams have to be followed. Morag is a big believer in praise where it is needed and also that talent is sometimes just not enough, work needs to be put in.

What has been Morag’s favourite moment so far…well his first audition in front of the TV cameras will not be forgotten but the event that really spoke of the culmination in all that Andrew has

worked for and enjoyed was when he sang in the Albert Hall. It is not difficult to feel the emotion when she speaks of her son in his comfort zone in his spiritual home.

Bus Times

Whilst every effort is made to check that these times are accurate at print time, we cannot accept responsibility for errors or later changes.

Her son’s voice may now have changed but her favourite tracks from the album, Pie Jesu and Agnus Dei will now serve as a permanent reminder of a voice gone forever. This though is not a bad thing, there will be much more to hear of from Andrew; with Morag hoping to hear his versions of Abide with Me and Amazing Grace and with Pavarotti and Andrea Bocelli currently influencing Andrew, we hope it won’t be long until we get to hear his richer deeper tones. Morag tells of her own musical background as a not so good singer in a Gaelic choir when she was young. But with Andrews album entitled “One Voice”, to follow in the sentiment of the lyrics we hope Morag realises her voice is just as strong. “If you look around you’ll find there is more than one voice singing in the darkness”.

A Damp Squib

Artwork for printing, adverts, internet, packaging

ELL THE SUMMER is officially over and unless there has been a sudden burst of sun by the time this article has gone to print then it has been a pretty damp squib. Still, there was enough sun for those of you who managed to get your peas and tomatoes planted this year. If you followed the advice in one of our previous articles hopefully you have enjoyed a bumper harvest of peas just like me. Thoughts in the garden however now turn to the spring and the associated preparation needed for 2010. For this reason we have provided a little guide to what needs to be done in order to enjoy your garden in the hope that the sun makes an appearance next year. MAINTENANCE

It can all begin with the general tidying up of your garden and the collecting of leaves for your compost. And if you did indeed plant those peas then the best thing you can do is leave the roots in place to help increase the fertility of the soil. Continuing with soil, break it up nicely ready for the crops of next year. If you enjoyed fruit this year then remove your old fruited raspberry wood and prune your raspberries and gooseberries. Tidy up your strawberries and keep on top of the new shoots for even more delicacies to accompany your ice cream and Wimbledon. Remove your withered annuals and if appropriate shrubs can be removed and replanted if you take up enough root. For that extra kerb side appeal don’t forget to get your hedges and ramblers trimmed. As well as a great time to maintain your shrubbery it is also a great time to plant. LAWN CARE

For next years bowling green lawn continue to kill your weeds and make sure you aerate well, if needed dress areas with a good sharp sand. For bare patches or where there is disease, now is a good time to remove the offending area and sew or lay new turf.

The Daffodil – The sure sign that spring has sprung

PLANTING

For those of you that like that bit of colour now is the time to plant which ever bulbs have taken your fancy. If possible move your pot plants to the greenhouse and continue with the bulb planting. Make sure you get a good firm bulb and plant anytime between now and November – but for the best flowers get them in now!

This year after tasting home grown garlic, I will make an attempt at growing my own which means I need to get them planted now. As well as the garlic, early vegetables can be sown. There is a good deal of work to be done in these non productive months but remember preparation is the key and it will all be worthwhile next summer – if we get one!

Ghandi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that his feet became quite thick and hard. Even when he wasn't on a hunger strike, he did not eat much and became quite thin and frail. He also was quite a spiritual person. Furthermore, due to his diet, he ended up with very bad breath. He became known as a super-calloused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis.

The New USA Health Care Plan!

The Administration came up with a new health care plan which was heavily promoted by the government; but... The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The Gastroenterologists had a sort of gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve. The Obstetricians felt they were all labouring under a misconception. Pathologists yelled “Over my dead body” while the Paediatricians said, ‘“Oh grow up!”

The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was mad, while the Radiologists could see right through it.

His friend asks,

choose from and it really is down to the individual, whether you combine pieces from various trends and eras to give you a unique LOOK or you follow one of the various high street stories; Country/English Heritage Comfort & Casual – Chic & Sleekwhatever your style favourite here are a few basics to follow:-

Urban Elegance with a hint of Heritage inspired style – tweeds, knits, silk and leather in warm autumnal shades - look for quirky cuts which will make a statement or just team a tweed jacket with a pencil skirt and silk shirt with a heavy knit throw/wrap over. CASUAL & COOL – ( which means warm and comfortable! ) great for lounging around –whether its a weekend away by a roaring fire or an informal lunch date with friends after shopping – look for soft tops, jersey skirts and loose fitting high waisted trousers. Accessories with oversized scarves, trainers and a bowling bag and your all set – effortless, cool and relaxed!

CHIC & SLEEK –– it’s monochrome – it’s tailored, classic, unfussy cleverly cut pieces - just think Audrey Hepburn and you won’t go wrong – this is a look that remains in vogue season after season so its definitely worthwhile investing in.

ACCESSORIES – Bags it British Chic - in tartan and chunky tweeds and fun furs, accented with faux patent trim and chunky dull brass fastenings – from Shoppers and Kelly Bags to lager clutches

Scarves, collars and wraps, worn over dresses, jumpers or outerwear in soft angora, tactile faux fur, cashmere and lambswool – think all shades from camel to cassis.

Look for slim/thin belts in metallic or with metallic detailing which will transform your trousers and update your shift. SHOES – we should not really go there!! (a bit like handbags) however –

If its flats you favour its buckles. ruffles or sequin details – Courts look for patent or metallic – either/or, your shoes have to shine. But high or low Brogue is Vogue with two tone a favourite.

JEWELLERY - Look for statement rings these will give your look an instant update. Large clusters of pearls or diamante or one large stone in a single setting – just think big.

BANGLES - big and chunky with thin and skinny, smooth and studded, mix and match on both wrists for maximum impact.

“What kind is it?”

The braggart says, “Half past four.”
