Hi there, Welcome to our April edition Has everyone caught up from that hour of sleep that was stolen from them! I don’t often take kindly to stealing but having all this extra sunshine everyday (when it’s not raining) is so refreshing. It really does make all the difference especially after a long day at work. On page 34 we have an article from the Castle Point Council regarding the Annual Castle Point show at Waterside farm, for the date and details make sure you stop by and have a read. We also have another brilliant riddle this month for you, it might take you half hour to work out but I’m sure the pride will be worth it in the end! Our charity article we donate every month has gone to the very hard working local charity The Danny Green Fund, please have a quick read. We also have a great article about work to start in the Garden now spring has finally arrived as well as a Movie Preview of the Fast & Furious
8 Movie. Ladies maybe think about treating your man to a cinema ticket. In this months kids quiz we have a Rogue One DVD up for grabs. Remember you’ve got to be in it to win it! Last month’s quiz winners were James D.C. Page from Waldegrave, Basildon who won a Fantastic Beasts DVD. Congratulations, we hope you enjoy your movie!

But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps.

SPRING HAS ARRIVED! As you look out upon your garden, does the nagging question of “where do I even begin” sound familiar?
At long last, spring has arrived! (or has it?) There is so much to do in every corner of the yard this month that it is difficult to know where to start. In my opinion, the first and foremost thing to do is to stand back for a moment, and simply enjoy the beauty that Mother Nature has given us.... Listen to the birds as they sing you a spring melody... dream a little... and then put on the gardening gloves and head out to make your dream garden a reality! As you begin your quest for the perfect garden, don’t overdo it! It’s probably been a few months since you gave those muscles and bones a good workout, so start out slowly and avoid that Monday morning backache. Caring for Your Annuals, Perennials & Bulbs April is the month for planting summer flowering bulbs like Dahlias, Gladiolas and Lilies. Mix bulb fertilizer, processed manure and peat moss into the planting soil. Tuberous Begonias and Canna should not be set outdoors until all danger of frost has passed, so wait until next month.
Gardening Article Sponsored by
24HR
Plant annual seeds of Asters, Cosmos, Marigolds and Zinnias in the garden. When all frost danger has passed you can move your stored Fuchsias and Geraniums outdoors. Trim them back, feed and re-pot if necessary. Water them well. When they have finished blooming, you should deadhead your spring flowering bulbs. Divide perennials like Daylilies, Delphiniums, Iris, Chrysanthemums, Daisies,and Phlox. The additional plants you create can be traded or given to friends, or moved to a new area of the garden. April Lawn Care The application of a spring type of lawn fertilizer should perk up the lawn and improve its over-all color and appearance. If there is moss growing in the lawn, use spring lawn fertilizer that has the moss-killer included, so you can do both jobs in one easy application. Spring is also a good time to thatch and overseed the lawn. Over seeding will help fill-in the lawn and deter the re-growth of moss and weeds.

FAST & FURIOUS 8
MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 14/04/17 On the heels of 2015’s Fast & Furious 7, one of the fastest movies to reach $1 billion worldwide in box-office history and the sixthbiggest global title of all time, comes the newest chapter in one of the most popular and enduring motion-picture serials of all time: Fast & Furious 8. Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game—and the rest of the crew has been exonerated—the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman (Oscar® winner Charlize Theron) seduces Dom into the world of crime he can’t seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before. From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family. For Fast & Furious 8, Vin Diesel is joined by a returning all-star cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell. In addition to Theron, the series welcomes newcomers Scott Eastwood and Oscar® winner Helen Mirren. The film is directed by F. Gary Gray (Straight Outta Compton) and produced by returning producers Neal H. Moritz, Michael Fottrell and Diesel.

The English ship leaves at nine. The French ship with a blue chimney is to the left of a ship that carries coffee. To the right of the ship carrying cocoa is a ship going to Marseille. The Spanish ship leaves at seven and is to the right of the ship going to Marseille. The Brazilian ship is heading for Manila. Next to the ship carrying rice is a ship with a green chimney. A ship going to Genoa leaves at five. The ship with a red chimney goes to Hamburg. Next to the ship leaving at seven is a ship with a white chimney. The ship on the border carries corn. The ship with a black chimney leaves at eight. The ship carrying corn is anchored next to the ship carrying rice. The ship to Hamburg leaves at six.
