Hi there, Welcome to our July edition Watch out Mums, Dads, Grandparents, and well everyone. The school holidays are almost here and we are going to be in for 6 weeks of kids, kids and more kids. Of course I love having all that extra time with them... for the first week. I joke! In this month’s Events page we have some events for both adults and children be sure to check online in advance this Summer to make sure you don’t miss out on aything locally. In the magazine this month we have donated a half page to a great local cause that are trying to raise money in the name of a young boy from Benfleet called Lenny currently fighting his rare condition. Please have a read and do anything you can to try and help. Please see page 18. In light of Wimbledon this month we have included a strawberry based recipe which is a very simple combination of strawberries and prosecco, what could go wrong, although I should say ensure you drink responsibly especially in the heat!
I should also mention this months exciting film preview for Oceans 8. I know how popular Oceans 11 was now imagine more big heist action but with an all female team that is packed full of Hollywood stars. This month you and the kids have the chance to win an Early Man DVD. Last month’s quiz winner was Preston age 6 from Napier gardens who won the Black Panther DVD. Congratulations Paula! If you would like to advertise with us, the last day to get your advert in is 13th July. We can design your ad for Free and a Month’s Advertising to 15,000 homes costs from as little as £60.

THE BOUNTIFUL BOUTIQUES OF LEIGH-ON-SEA
Leigh-on-Sea was recently voted the happiest place to live in the UK according to a survey conducted by Right Move. One of the wonderful elements of the town its thriving shopping area, where independents and stand-alone stores really come into their own. I think it is so important to support unique local businesses instead of automatically giving your custom to the large high street chains. Here is Dress Doctor’s pick of the best boutiques the Broadway has to offer: ZINC the Menswear All Rounder This sharp and sophisticated menswear store was founded in 2002 and has been the main go to place for updating and tweaking the male wardrobe ever since. Quality is at the forefront of the store’s philosophy and luxurious brands such as Calvin Klein, Versace Jeans and Lagerfeld are showcased. Zinc offers a wide variety of merchandise including suiting, casualwear, outerwear, evening dress and footwear. RUBY ROOM Womenswear that’s Stylish yet Affordable This fashion emporium is jam packed with beautiful, wearable one off pieces. It was founded in 2010 and also sells lifestyle products. The clothes are brought from international climbs such as France, Italy and India. Ruby Room has the edge as it manages to provide good quality and stylish garments without the high price tag. It is extremely difficult to walk past the shop front without being lured in by the fabulous window display – mannequins showcase bias cut dresses in forest green and silky stripy shirts pared with gem encrusted sandals. A kids range and an own brand clothing range is planned for the future. Image Credit: Paul & Joe Spring / Summer 2018 ready to wear HEATHERBIE the Best Stop for Luxury Womenswear This relative newcomer founded in 2017 is a wonderful place to acquire a new outfit safe in the knowledge that customer service and a serene shopping environment is guaranteed. The store Article sponsored by this local business offers a mix of classic and contemporary designer pieces that have been specially selected for their cut and quality. Popping in is such a pleasure – feast your eyes on stripes, stand out prints and beautifully structured garments, whilst running PODIATRY your hands over silks, buttery leathers and light weight linens. Heatherbie is beautifully formed and I challenge you to walk in and come out without a purchase…

THE MAGIC WARDROBE an Aladdin’s Cave of Second-hand Treasure The Magic Wardrobe has been a fixture on the Leigh Road for as long as I’ve loved trawling the rails for bargains. It almost feels ethical buying a garment that has had a previous owner and breathing new life and energy into its seams. The Magic Wardrobe is always well organised and separated into sections of colour, size and type of clothing. You can often pick up designer pieces and the beauty of the experience is you never know what you’ll uncover. I urge you to pay a visit and come out with the must have you never knew you needed.

Abbeyfield’s aim is to help every Resident to live with dignity, privacy and as much independence as they are able in order to enjoy their later years. Individuality is respected at all times, choices are offered and decisions supported. Residents feel that St. George’s has a ‘homely’ atmosphere. This is enhanced by an excellent standard of care and accommodation and first class catering facilities. The House provides 24 hour staffing in accordance with the requirements of the laid down standards.

OCEAN’S 8
MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 22/06/18 Five years, eight months, 12 days and counting -- that’s how long Debbie Ocean has been devising the biggest heist of her life. She knows what it’s going to take -- a team of the best people in the field, starting with her partner-in-crime Lou Miller. Together, they recruit a crew of specialists, including jeweler Amita, street con Constance, suburban mom Tammy, hacker Nine Ball, and fashion designer Rose. Their target -- a necklace that’s worth more than $150 million. Ocean’s 8 is a 2018 American heist comedy film directed by Gary Ross and written by Ross and Olivia Milch. The film is a spin-off of Steven Soderbergh’s Ocean’s trilogy and stars Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter. The plot follows a group of women, led by the estranged sister of Danny Ocean, who plan on robbing the Met Gala. In cameo appearances, Matt Damon and Carl Reiner reprise their roles as Linus Caldwell and Saul Bloom, respectively, from the Ocean's Trilogy.[3] Other cameo appearances in the film include Anna Wintour, Zayn Malik, Katie Holmes, Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams, Kim Kardashian, Adriana Lima, Kylie Jenner, Alexander Wang, Kendall Jenner, Olivia Munn, Zac Posen, Hailey Baldwin, Derek Blasberg, Lauren Santo Domingo, Conor Donovan and Rooney Mara Lou's wife/girlfriend.

JULY LAWN PRIORITIES Mowing The warm summer temperatures cause lawns to grow rapidly compared to the rest of the year. As a result, you’ll need to keep on top of mowing, up to twice a week, to ensure that you have a good thick lawn. Keep your mower in top condition, and make sure the blade is sharp enough for you to get a clean cut. Weed control Weeds generally thrive at this time of year. Control them now before they have a change to go to seed. We recommend the ready to spray Vitax Lawn Clear spot treatment. Just spray the leaves of the weed plant, having not cut the grass for 5 days. Make sure you leave the area before cutting again for a further 3 days to allow the weed killer to take full effect. Adding a summer fertiliser Many gardeners will choose to add a summer lawn fertiliser in July. This is important because the fertilisers are designed to promote growth, ensuring your lawn stays green all summer long. Use either a simple granular lawn feed, or you can use a granular weed and feed fertiliser. Spread the fertiliser using a hand held spreader, or a drop spreader.

Some people choose a more difficult to apply liquid feed, which needs diluting in water, and applied using a watering can with a rose attachment. Take a look at liquid Green Up Feed & Weed.

Watering your lawn As forecast, it’s set to be very dry over the coming weeks. It may be worth getting the sprinklers out, however ensure that you use enough water to make a difference – too little water will simply be a waste of time. Overseeding patches You can overseed your lawn in July, but it is very important to remember that grass seed needs two things to germinate – warmth (no problem) and moisture. Its extremely important to make sure that you adequately water the overseeded patches to ensure you get good germination. Overseeding itself is quite simple. Rake or scarify the area you want to patch up. Choose the best grass seed mixture, and spread it over the area, using a hand held spreader, or a drop spreader. Make sure after sowing you compact the lawn area, using either a roller, or by treading the seed in.

INFLAMMATION We’ve all experienced inflammation. Common signs of inflammation are pain, stiffness of joints, reddening of skin, swelling, heat and sometimes even flu like symptoms including headaches, loss of appetite, fever, chills and loss of energy. But what’s the point of it and when does it stop being helpful and becomes harmful to us? Inflammation is your body’s rapid reaction to tissue damage by physical force or attack by bacteria and viruses in the case of infection. Firstly, your blood vessels dilate and be- come more permeable, letting in more blood (hence the reddening, stiffness and warmth) but also white blood cells and chemicals which seek out and destroy dead cells, bacteria and viral bodies. Chemicals that cause blood clotting are released, scar tissue forms and then the lengthy process of tissue repair begins. It’s part of your body’s amazing ability to heal itself. Sometimes inflammation is inappropriate as in hay fever and sometimes it is devastating as in rheumatoid arthritis, however, even ‘normal’ inflammation can cause problems if it is not dealt with correctly. The problem surrounds the reduced mobility and scar tissue that occurs with inflammation: not moving a joint and allowing scar tissue to form whilst it is set in one position can set you up for future pain and disability. But hang on, if inflammation is part of the body’s natural defence and repair system how can it be harmful? Well from an evolutionary standpoint it can be argued that infection was one of the greatest threats to mankind and inflammation was the body’s way of walling off the area with scar tissue to stop the infection spreading and allowing the immune system to attack the infection. Not a bad solution for infections but excess scar tissue (which is less elastic, weaker and more prone to future damage) is not what you want building up around a joint that needs to be free to move. So where
inflammation is due to injury and not infection, then you need to intervene in the early stages before scar tissue is laid down inappropriately. Careful mobilisation of the inflamed area (together with the use of ice packs to reduce the swelling) can help the new cells to form along the natural lines of stress as the tissue heals. Without mobilisation, scar tissue can form randomly around the joint and in turn this causes neighbouring tissue and joints to take on extra work to compensate, thus spreading the problem. Scar tissues in muscle can even result in super sensitivity which is the result of the excess nerve fibres bunching around the scar. Accurate and gentle chiropractic adjustments to the joint during the early stages of inflammation can minimise the formation of inappropriate scar tissue and where it does form, it forms along natural lines rather than randomly. The joint is kept mobile and returns to a more natural position and function.
