Gone Too Soon Bereavement Support Group

devastating news, as you shouldn’t have to bury your child - it’s not the right order of things.

‘GONE TOO SOON’ GROUP A local group has been formed to support parents who have lost a Child. ‘Gone Too Soon’ is a bereavement support group for parents who have lost a Son or Daughter. The monthly meetings are held on the third Monday of each month from 7.00 9.00 p.m. at Reids, 66-68 Laindon Road, Billericay, CM12 9LD. During these meetings, there is at least one counsellor to facilitate and support the sessions. This group was started by Linda Wilson in June 2017. It gives the opportunity for parents to come together, to talk to people who can relate and understand how it feels to lose a child and offer counselling through this grief journey.

The next meeting will take place on Monday, 19th March. If you would like further details, please contact Linda for a chat on 07387 - 805406 or email lyn-currie@hotmail.co.uk

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service. Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company

policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. Locally Cloudy2Clear service Billericay, Basildon Wickford & Langdon Hills

and manager Chris Miller agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’ So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Baked Egg & Smoked Salmon butter, for greasing, 100g (3 1/2oz) smoked salmon, chopped 150g (5oz) crème fraîche, 2 tbsp chives, chopped, 4 eggs 1 tbsp finely grated Parmesan, buttered toast, to serve

Method 1

Prep 10 min › Cook 15 mins › Serves 4 People

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Bring a kettle to the boil. Spread a little butter on a piece of kitchen paper and lightly grease the inside of 4 x 150ml ramekins – your kids can help with this part. Divide the salmon between each. In a small bowl, combine the crème fraîche with most of the chives, a little sea salt and some freshly cracked black pepper. Ask your kids to add a spoonful of the mixture to each ramekin. Crack an egg into each ramekin, then scatter over the Parmesan and remaining chives (the kids can help with this). Put the ramekins in an ovenproof dish large enough to hold all four. Pour boiling water into the dish to cover the ramekins halfway. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still soft*. Remove from the oven and leave to stand for 1-2 minutes. Serve with the hot buttered toast.

THE 2018 MARCH GARDENING CHECKLIST March is the beginning of the busy season, the job list lengthening with the daylight. It can be a month of contrasts, too, with wind and frost set to challenge the first of spring growth. Knuckle down and complete winter work to make way for the tasks that are targeted at the growing season. Crops and robbers Order your seed potatoes as they will need time to chit before planting out. Leave them in a cool, bright room to promote the eyes. Earlies can be planted later in the month and kept covered with fleece to prevent early shoots from frost damage. Choose your sunniest position for onions and shallots as they like the heat and free drainage, and wait until the second half of the month to plant. Do not plant in freshly manured ground as they prefer soil that was improved for a previous crop. Pruning Complete the pruning of wisteria, summer-flowering clematis and late-flowering shrubs such as buddleia and Russian sage. The sap is rising and you will be cutting away important energy if this is left too late.

Gardening Article Sponsored by

Hold off from pruning evergreens until April as they need their foliage to kickstart growth in warmer weather. Remove up to a third of spent flowering stems back to old wood on winterflowering shrubs, such as forsythia and jasmine, as soon as the flowers fade. This will promote fresh new wood for next year. Slug it out Beware the slugs when new growth is susceptible, and use pellets judiciously and only where necessary. Always use an organic pellet, such as ferric phosphate (harrodhorticultural. com), as they pose no risk to animals and insects. Better still, think about alternative slugcontrol regimes, such as growing hostas in pots or choosing the blue-leaved forms that are less susceptible. Lawn order The grass has barely stopped growing this winter so set the mower high and cut on a dry day. The smell of the first cut grass is like nothing else. Paths mown into meadows or a neat frame to a rough area will go a long way to provide the contrast that keeps a wilder garden feeling tended. Although now is a good time to start laying turf, prepare ground for sowing lawn seed and hold off until early April to get best results.

GAME NIGHT

MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 02/03/18

Game Night is an upcoming 2018 American mystery thriller comedy film directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein and written by Mark Perez. Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams star as Max and Annie, whose weekly couples game night gets kicked up a notch when Max’s charismatic brother, Brooks (Chandler), arranges a murder mystery party, complete with fake thugs and faux federal agents. So when Brooks gets kidnapped, it’s all part of the game... right? But as the six uber-competitive gamers set out to solve the case and win, they begin to discover that neither this ‘game’—nor Brooks—are what they seem to be. Over the course of one chaotic night, the friends find themselves increasingly in over their heads as each twist leads to another unexpected turn. With no rules, no points, and no idea who all the players are, this could turn out to be the most fun they’ve ever had... or game over. The film features a supporting cast that includes Kyle Chandler, Billy Magnussen, Sharon Horgan, Lamorne Morris, Kylie Bunbury, Jesse Plemons, Michael C. Hall and Jeffrey Wright. Warner Bros. Pictures will release the film on February 23, 2018.

IMPACT OF YOUR FEET The health and function of your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. A quarter of the bones in your body are in your feet. Simply walking can produce more pressure than the sum of your body weight. The average person walks more than four times the circumference of the globe in their lifetime. I see so many patients who think that foot discomfort and pain is a normal. It isn’t! Your feet are finely tuned marvels of natural engineering. They deserve to be treated with care and respect so if you don’t already love your feet, start now. Feet can be plagued with many fungal and bacterial problems as well as symptoms of more serious conditions such as diabetes but I want to draw your attention to importance of properly functioning feet. The most obvious symptoms of foot trouble are pain and dysfunction (limping, favouring one foot or the other, inability to put weight on the heel and/ or the toes). Pain and dysfunction caused by illness or injury can force you change your gait (the way you walk) and create significant stresses on the joints of your legs, hips and lower spine. Your feet are the foundation for your entire body. When they suffer, your whole body is placed in jeopardy. Even without pain, foot dysfunction can cause your whole body to over compensate, which can lead to back pain and even headache, not to mention the emotional stress of discomfort and limitations on movement that can spread from the feet upward. Wearing appropriate and properly fitting footwear will go a long way to keeping your feet working properly (see the tips below). Women have four times as many foot problems as men because they are more likely to wear

high heels and pointy toed shoes. I advise all female patients to limit wearing high heels and to wear flatter shoes, such as pumps, for the majority of the day. Everyone should avoid wearing the same pair of shoes every day by alternating between two or more pairs. A chiropractic adjustment of your feet and elsewhere in your body as required – can restore function and relieve pain. As a result, other painful disorders elsewhere in your body, but stemming from or causing your foot problems, will also be relieved. In addition, at my clinic we examine patients to determine whether shoe inserts (orthotics) will offer relief. They work rather like the way braces work on your teeth: by exerting gentle and consistent pressure to bring foot muscles and bones back into proper alignment. If you suffer from heel spurs (plantar fasciitis) then orthotics are an ideal solution in 80 to 90 per cent of cases.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SAFER BOROUGH

Basildon • Billericay • Wickford • Pitsea • Laindon

CO M M U N ITY SA F ETY CO N S U LTAT ION We have been asking for your views to help shape community safety priorities in the Basildon borough by launching a Community Safety consultation. The results are being used to help Basildon Community Safety Partnership (CSP) understand your local area. Basildon CSP is jointly led by the Council and Police with other agencies including Essex County Council, National Probation Service, Essex Community Rehabilitation Company, Essex Fire and Rescue Service and Basildon and Brentwood Clinical Commissioning Group. Its vision is to make the Borough a safer place, to reduce fear of crime and the likelihood of becoming a victim of crime.

Every three years, Basildon CSP prepares a new Strategy that sets out how partners will work together to focus on specific community safety priorities. The priorities are identified through a Strategic Assessment that uses data to understand the patterns and trends relating to crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour and community safety issues. The aim of the consultation was to help us understand crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour and community safety issues from the viewpoint of people who live, work and study in the Borough, in particular what issues you feel are most important to tackle in your local area. The consultation ran for four weeks until Monday 19th February 2018 and over 750 residents completed the survey and had their say both online and at a series of community engagement event across the Borough. The findings are being used by the CSP to help shape its approach and delivery of key activity going forward.
