Hi there, Welcome to our May edition
Dare I say it, are things starting to feel a little bit normal again? I know we're nowhere near normal yet but it has been amazing just having a little bit of social interaction returned hasn't it? We do have to ensure though whilst we enjoy the lifting of lockdown to do it responsibly because we do NOT want a third wave on hands! Whilst on the topic of lifting lockdown, what an amazing job all the non essential businesses have done, not only to survive the unthinkable but re-open in such a professional manor, make sure to support them now and even more so on 17th May. They need us more than ever. The new Masyu puzzle seems to have been a hit with everyone last month. Two tips for you. Always use a pencil, and have a rubber to hand. They are tricky!
GUTTER CLEARANCE
April's Quiz Winner was Emma David Ward from Starling Close in Benfleet who won a Hey Duggee DVD. Well done to all those who got the correct answer! In the kids quiz this month your little one has the chance to win a Spongebob Squarepants DVD. Don’t forget you have to be in it to win it!

“THE GRASS HAS NEVER BEEN GREENER ON CANVEY” Artificial grass has ‘grown’ massively in the last 10 years in both sales and
20mil to 45mil thickness in all shades of green, a ten year wear guarantee and competitive price ranges we caught up with the Business Partners of Dickinson Moore Ltd to find out more!! This family run business has a total of 98 years experience in the flooring business and are very excited about the products they are bringing to Canvey Island. Directors Steve Scott and Lee Parker both started working in the flooring industry as 13 year old teenagers, Steve as a Saturday boy in a carpet shop and Lee helping his Dad Bob on weekends as a floor layer. (Bob even fitted the red carpet at St Paul’s cathedral for Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s wedding!) By 1989 they were running their own businesses in carpet retail before combining their vast experience to become Dickinson Moore Ltd as wholesalers in 2007 and eventually in 2017 turning their hand to Manufacturing and supplying the biggest wholesalers and retailers in the UK.
A130
A tight knit family business evolved further with the employment of sons, Joe 27, Ronnie 25, Johnny 23 and Ryan 19 who pride themselves on providing ‘value for money’ and ‘customer satisfaction’ with a friendly service.

Purple Broccoli
Purple Sprouting Broccoli is a beautiful, tasty addition to the dinner table, and the garden. It has a great flavour, a long harvesting season and is nutritionally beneficial. A single portion provides half your daily requirement of carotenoids, plus high levels of folic acid and vitamins A and C. It's definitely a 'plan-ahead' crop though. If you start planting now you will give yourself something to look forward to next January, and as it is a 'cut and come again' crop, that long season should keep you going until April or May! One of the reasons I love it is that I garden on fairly alkaline soil, in which it thrives. It prefers a heavier soil than mine ideally but seems to do well enough in my garden. I dig in a fair amount of leaf mould and well-rotted manure to bulk it up. Purple sprouting broccoli doesn't like exposed sites, because the wind buffets the stems, so if your garden is more open it will need a bit of protection. Sow seeds into small pots or multi-cell trays, using a good quality multi-purpose seed and cuttings compost. When the little plants are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out and transplant them into single 9cm pots. Watering them in well. Once the plants have matured, fork the soil over. Remove large stones and perennial weeds. Even if your soil is heavier it's worth digging in some organic matter to improve texture and moisture retention. I don't need to add lime to my soil but if you garden on neutral or acid soil, you'd be advised to work some in. Transplant when the broccoli plants are 7-9cm tall. Water them well before removing from their pots, and plant them 50-60cm apart, with a similar distance between the rows. Brassicas dislike loose soil, so make sure you firm around the plants lightly with your foot. Water again after planting. Six plants will produce enough broccoli to feed a family of four. I grow more because I love it. Harvest when the flower shoots are well developed but before the flowers have actually opened. Cut the central spears with a sharp knife first, as this encourages the side shoots to develop quickly. Then crop the side shoots regularly to extend the cropping time. January seems a long way away right now, but a little planning and preparation will ensure that deliciousness will await when we get there. Happy gardening, By Rachael Leverton

Furry Friends Why guinea pigs make perfect pets
When I was twelve I begged my dad for a pet. He vetoed a dog or a cat but one night he arrived home with a large cage which housed two chubby balls of cuteness. It was my introduction to guinea pigs. I christened them Siouxsie Sioux and Roxy (which gives away my teenage musical tastes). They became my characterful and vocal companions for the next six or so years. Guinea pigs, or ‘cavies’, are short-tailed, rough-haired South American rodents. They are longer-lived and friendlier than hamsters, and more socially acceptable than rats (disclaimer…I love rats, but many people don’t). Guinea pigs are pretty hardy and healthy if fed properly. They can be prone to dental issues and bladder stones, but proper nutrition and regular medical check-ups help prevent this. They originate from cool climates and don't do well in hot, humid, or freezing conditions, so avoid positioning the cage next to a radiator or keeping them outside unless you have a very sheltered warm shed. The warnings in the previous paragraph notwithstanding guinea pigs are actually easy to care for. They require hay, fresh water, fresh vegetables, a small quantity of specialist guinea pig pellets, and a vitamin C supplement each day. Their cage should be as large as possible and lined with paper-based bedding. It needs to be spot cleaned daily and thoroughly cleaned weekly. They are very sociable and highly fertile so don't keep a male and female together unless you want baby guinea pigs! They are great pets for younger children under parental supervision. They can be short or long-haired and come in a variety of colours. The long-haired ones are very pretty but do require frequent grooming.

DOORS
The fact that they can live up to 7-8 years (average around 5-6) is both a bonus but also something to consider if your child requests a guinea pig aged fifteen but plans to move out to attend university at 18! One of the most delightful characteristics of guinea pigs is the sounds they make. They purr like a cat when they are happy and relaxed. They make soft squeaks and squeals to communicate and chatter their teeth when disgruntled. They also exhibit a behaviour called 'popcorning' - they jump up and down when happy or excited). My son (who has two guinea pigs) calls it their 'happy dance'. It's cute to watch; and they really do like people. They bond with their owners and are as interactive and friendly as cats or dogs. The flip side of this is that if they are ignored they can become depressed. Guinea pigs make amazing companion. If you’re considering a pet then check out these cute little creatures.

MASYU PUZZLE
E X A M P L E
INSTRUCTIONS
Masyu is a charming but sophisticated puzzle where you are required to “string” black and white “pearls” with a line that forms a continuous loop. The string can only be horizontal or vertical. On unmarked cells the line that is the string can enter and exit in any two of the four sides of a cell. The trick and the trouble starts when the pearls are adjacent to one another. There are two rules according to the colour of the pearl: 1) Black pearls: A line going through a black pearl must enter and exit at right angles on the pearl. It must also extend straight for two squares in the chosen directions. 2) White pearls: A line goes straight through a white pearl. In one or both directions the line must perform a turn immediately after the white pearl. It is optional for it to turn in both cells after the pearl.
