Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Chris Miller feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is 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 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although

that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. 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. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service the Benfleet, Hadleigh, South Benfleet and Thundersley areas and Chris is finding that his

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.’ 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!

For as rich as you are, it’s much better by far, To be young at heart. Of course, that’s assuming that you are Rich, because it’s not so easy to enjoy Life to the full if you’re a bit short of money Enjoyment don’t come cheap nowadays! And life gets more exciting with each passing day. And life is either in your heart, or on it’s way. Well, yes- providing you can afford it.

Article brought to you by...

So, how do you go about making the most of your life, enjoying the autumn of your years, maintaining the Living Standards you’ve become used to, if your pension is dwindling, your savings depleted. Now you have time to enjoy Life, but not the means to do so It’s even worse if still paying a mortgage, or still trying to clear Credit Cards.

Ron Radway Financial Consultant with One Call Financial Advice Centre

So, what’s the answer? Why not take a look at Unlocking the Cash in your Home- You never know, it may be the answer!

Young At Heart...

Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you, If you’re young at heart. Most of us Baby Boomers are living longer, living more active lives- & apart from the odd ache and pain, and forgetting what you was talking about, most of us feel that we haven’t changed much since we were in our Late Teens/Early Twenties. 70 is the New 60; 60 the new 50! Don’t you know that it’s worth every treasure on Earth, To be young at heart! And so it should be – If you have your health & energy, why not enjoy life to the full?

For it’s hard, you will find, to be narrow of mind, If you’re young at heart. Just look at the idea with an Open Mind, it might just be what you’re looking for. And if you should survive to 105, Look at all you’ll derive out of being alive! And here is the best part, you have a head start, If you are among the very young at heart. Equity release is not suitable for everyone, & you need Independent Advice from a Specialist in the Financial Sector, who will take into account your uniquely individual circumstances.

the surface. The distance should be about one foot apart each way. If you suffered from rust this year, in addition to rotation try hoeing in sulphate of potash in February/March. ONIONS, SPRING ONIONS AND SHALLOTS There are quite a few varieties of onions from sets that can go in now. This is the easiest way to grow onions, and they can be harvested earlier on in the year. Electric is a good red set, Radar a good yellow and Shakespeare is a highly reliable white. Sow some spring onions now: White Lisbon Winter Hardy (from T&M) is a good one.

10 Vegetables to grow over Winter. BROAD BEANS I always autumn-sow broad beans. As well as having more time than I do in spring, it stops nutrients leaching through otherwise fallow soil, which allows its structure to deteriorate. They are ready a good month earlier than those sown in April, and they don’t get black fly. If the beans are in an exposed position and grow too tall (above a foot ) over winter, they can wave around and split just above ground level, so put in canes or sticks and string if necessary. ASPARAGUS Asparagus varieties are now available for autumn planting, which helps them establish that bit quicker. Thompson & Morgan is offering Ariane, Guelph Millennium, Pacific 2000 and Purple Pacific. Although a common perception is that asparagus beds are hard work, in my experience if you get the bed weed-free, as with other perennial vegetables, they take far less work than annual vegetables. PEAS For a late spring crop, it’s worth trying sowing seeds now, especially in mild areas. If you sow direct into the ground, plant them one inch deep and relatively closely at about one inch apart, to make up for a higher loss rate. GARLIC This is the easiest crop to grow. Plant the cloves individually to a depth of 2.5in deep on light soils and a lot less deep on heavy soils, but always a minimum of one inch below

WINTER LETTUCE My cut-and-come again varieties, such as Niche Mixed, were sown a few weeks ago. But you can still sow a really hardy variety, Meraviglia d’Inverno San Martino, and plant it out under fleece or a perforated polythene sheet. LAMBS LETTUCE This is a good filler: it’s undemanding, easy to grow and useful for bulking out the salad bowl. It is useful in that it does not need high light levels and tolerates low temperatures, and so can be sown up until the end of October outside; it can be picked until December or into the new year with some fleece or milder weather. It can be a cut and come again or left as a singleton. SPINACH This is another vegetable that is very popular now. We pick it younger and just wilt the leaves rather than ruin it with overcooking. Great in salads, too. Useful varieties that will tolerate being sown now until the end of October are Riccio d’Asti and Merlo Nero (Seeds of Italy). The big advantage of autumn sowing is that there is no tendency to bolt. SUGARSNAP PEAS Although not usually known for sowing now, if you choose a variety such as Snow Pea Gigante Svizzero (Seeds of Italy) you can get slow growth (as with all the peas) over winter to produce a crop of smallish, edible pods earlier next year. Sugarsnap peas are a firm favourite of mine: you get far more of that great fresh pea flavour than you do from just using the pea, and they are highly versatile. SPRING CABBAGE If you ring around your local garden centres, you might well find some spring cabbage plants left. Plant 12in apart each way and earth up the soil around their stems after they have got going to help them against the cold. If it gets icy in colder areas, fleece or cloches can help. You can thin early plants for spring greens and leave the rest to heart up. Watch out for pigeons.

Heavenly Lamb Shanks Recipe 4-6 tablespoons olive oil 1.6kg or 4 lamb shanks, trimmed 1 leek, halved & cut into 1/2" pieces 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped 2 carrots, roughly chopped 2 medium onions, chopped 12 garlic cloves, unpeeled

1 2 3 4 5 6

5 tablespoons flour 1 bay leaf & 1 sprig of thyme 1 sprig of rosemary 1 tsp whole black peppercorns 350ml (12 fl oz) red wine 600ml (1 pint) chicken stock Sea salt

Pre-heat oven to 150 degrees C (gas mark 2). Heat the olive oil in a heavy, metal roasting pan on the cooker over medium-high heat. Toss shanks with flour to coat well; then shake off excess. Sear the shanks in hot oil until well browned on all sides, then remove from pan and set aside. Add the leek, celery, carrot, onion, and garlic to the roasting pan. Cook until softened and lightly browned, stirring constantly; about 5 minutes. Season with the bay leaf, peppercorns, thyme and rosemary sprigs. Pour in the red wine and chicken stock, increase heat to high, and bring to a simmer. Season to taste with sea salt, and place the lamb shanks on top of the vegetables. Cover the roasting pan tightly with heavy foil, and place into the preheated oven. Bake gently until the meat is tender and falls off of the bone, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove the bay leaf and herb stems before serving shanks with vegetables and sauce.

• Use your personal alarm if you have one, or call 999 if you are hurt or cannot get up from the floor. • If you can, try to get up off the floor. Use a piece of sturdy furniture to try and pull yourself up. • Keep warm, pull a coat or blanket over you if possible, keep your arms and legs moving by tensing your muscles.

If You Should Fall Stuart Lawrence BSc(Hons MSc(Chiro) Registered Osteomyologist

www.spinalcarecentre.co.uk Age Concern has a very informative website and I’d recommend it for further information: www.ageconcern.org.uk.

Age Concern recommend the following if you fall: • Don’t panic – try to stay calm. If you are

alone attract attention by banging on the floor or a wall.

If you do fall, try to fall forwards or land on your buttocks but not your spine. Try to protect your head from hitting furniture of the floor. If you live alone, it might be a good idea to ask someone to check on you once a day or subscribe to one of the monitoring services. Obviously prevention is the best cure so please do take a little time to check your home, your health and your medication. Falls needn’t be a part of getting older. Keeping mobile by following a sensible exercise routine, looking after your eye sight and making a few changes in your home will keep you on your feet. If you aren’t in this age bracket, consider if a senior relative or neighbour would appreciate your help in performing a home safety check.

multi-agency initiative aimed at helping them to live safely at home, and avoid becoming victims of crime. Officers will visit eligible residents to carry out checks on small domestic appliances such as kettles, toasters and microwaves to ensure that they are safe to use. Anything found to be faulty will be either fixed or replaced, free of charge. The Castle Point Community Safety Partnership (CSP) is supporting the scheme, which is available to residents over 65 years or who require additional support due to a learning disability or mental, physical or sensory impairment

Dear Neighbour, I don’t believe we’ve met...

My name is Kevin Jones and I own Colbert Garage, not far from where you live. We’re a family run business and according to some of our customers, a dying breed. We believe that our customers want to deal with people who know who they are and don’t treat them like they’ve never been seen before; a garage that understands what is important when it comes to fixing or servicing your car. Whether it’s essential you get it done quickly, so you don’t miss an important journey or meeting, or whether safety is causing you concerns. We enjoy getting to know our customers. We believe in being part of our local community, which is why we’d like to offer you a little something for when you next need your car serviced or fixed. Use it for whatever you like: labour, parts or an MOT – just bring it with you when you come in.
