Hi there,
Welcome to our Halloween edition Welcome to another edition of the 'Keep It Local' Magazine. I wanted to start off by asking.... How great is the photo on the front of the magazine! That was sent to us by a local lady called Jodi Presswell from our Basildon Magazine. If like Jodi you have a good eye for a photo of your local area please send them in. You can email, facebook or instagram us. Your image could feature on 60,000 magazines! Yet again this month we have got some fantastic puzzles for you to do in your spare time. The Zebra Puzzle in particular could keep you going for a good hour. When I started it I thought it was one of the simpler ones until I got to the last hurdle and it took every bit of my pride to stop myself looking at the answer! Don't forget to let the little ones know we have our kids page and quiz every month to keep them enterained... briefly. Another firm favourites of mine this month is the codewords. An older classic but if you haven't tried one, I would suggest you give it a go!
September’s Quiz Winner was Joan Bucke from Rosecroft Close in Langdon hills, who won a Peppa Pig DVD. Well done to all those who got the correct answer despite our mistake! Congratulations! In the kids quiz this month your family has the chance to win a DVD copy of Peppa Pig: Mandy Mouse. Don’t forget you have to be in it to win it! If you would like to advertise with us, the last day to get your advert in is 15th October. We can design your ad for Free and a Month’s Advertising to 20,000 homes costs from as little as £45. You can contact us on 01268 330271 or email at sales@eblmagazines.co.uk We do not vet our advertisers and take no responsibility for anyone who advertises in our magazines.

MONEY MATTERS... Equity Release Mythbusters. It’s all over our TV screens, Radio, Newspapers & Internet, but outside those Ads, what do you actually know about equity release? There are a whole load of preconceived ideas, so let’s separate the Facts from the Fiction.
First things first – What is “Equity Release”? It is a way of releasing cash locked up in your 01268 799211 home, comes in various forms, all designed C for Later Life, the most popular being a Lifetime Mortgage, that is, usually, repaid once passed away, or in Long Term Care. The myths vs the reality It’s unsafe. False. All Lifetime Mortgages are sanctioned by Equity Release Council, a trade body that helps protect people taking out equity release. Only available through regulated & qualified financial advisors You’ll need to repay more than your home’s worth. All are protected by a No-Negativity Equity Guarantee, meaning that you cannot leave a Debt You may be forced to leave your Home. Categorically, no!!. You can’t move. Yes you can (subject to suitable property)
Releasing money from your home is a last resort. Certainly not – There are many reasons why people consider Equity Release, & the Plans, nowadays, are flexible to suit individual circumstances. Of course, it’s not suitable for everyone, but really should be considered with an open mind, to see if it fits in with Retirement Plans. Any queries on this or any other financial concern, feel free to call 01268 799211.

GET A FLU VACCINE Some people believe that it’s not worth having a flu vaccination. But it's actually one of the most important things you can do for your health and others, especially in the middle of the global coronavirus pandemic. Health professionals always advise the 'at risk' groups to get vaccinated. People eligible for the free flu jab include: people aged 65 and over; pregnant women; primary school aged children, two and three-year-olds; and people with medical conditions like asthma, diabetes, or heart failure. But most experts are recommending the flu vaccine for almost every demographic this year. Although the flu vaccination does not prevent Coronavirus, both of the viruses have an impact on the respiratory system. A combination of both viruses, or one after the other, may mean bad news for your health, respiratory health, and overall ability to recover. Health professionals suggest that this year we should have our shots as early as September. Even though typical flu season begins in October and peaks between December and February, the changes brought on by COVID-19 mean that it's important to get organised early because you will probably need a formal appointment, even at a pharmacy. Winter is a particularly busy time for GPs and hospitals. Vaccinating to protect against flu could help reduce the risk of the NHS becoming overwhelmed with cases of both flu and COVID-19. Cut your risk of respiratory infection. Get a flu vaccine. By Louise Addison

The world of work is changing
The world will be a very different place when we emerge from the current crisis, and trends already making their mark in property will accelerate radically – most notably in agile working: a mix of compatible uses, shorter leases, the opportunity to reduce or increase space… enabling and encouraging coworking and flexible working. It will also need to be in tune with what young businesses today look for in a workplace: interesting properties that have amenities,
space to meet and collaborate, and with a real buzz about them. Equally, companies are looking to increase occupational densities in order to reduce overheads and exposure in an uncertain market – and are now far more relaxed about letting staff work part of their time at home. The technology to meet virtually and collaborate remotely has suddenly become mainstream. This is the vision we’re looking to deliver at International House, our
new venture at Charfleets Road, Canvey Island: a dynamic mix of uses, the availability of co-working space for young enterprises, room to grow and easy-in, easy-out terms – not forgetting a great ambience to inspire collaboration! Get in touch to see how we could help you take your business forward into the future. By Michael Chittenden, co-owner International House See more on our advert on page 2.

BEAUTIFUL BERBERIS Berberis thunbergii are deciduous shrubs which look particularly fabulous at this time year, producing highly coloured leaves, and often berries which last well into winter. These berries are actually edible and rich in vitamin C, though because they are very acidic, they are not widely consumed by people. They are an important food for many small birds though. They get their other name of 'barberry bush' because of their vicious spines. This makes them useful as an impenetrable barrier hedge and may be another reason why the berries aren’t harvested much! Like the colourful Japanese Maple, they originate from Eastern Asia. Berberis vary in colour according to the cultivar and variety. The common Berberis thunbergii have green leaves in spring and summer which turn rich burgundy in autumn. If you'd like the purple colour all year round choose Berberis thunbergii f. atropurpurea, which has purple leaves in spring that turn rich mahogany in autumn. Though Berberis are generally grown for their autumn colour, they are a hard-working shrub, and produce a mass of tiny yellow flowers in spring, providing interest at either end of the year. There is a Berberis for most gardens: They can grow to a maximum height and spread of 1.5m, but there are now dwarf forms which grow to just 50cm, try 'Tiny Gold' or 'Lutin Rouge'. They grow best in full sun but also tolerate partial shade. They do well in most soil types, and even do well in drought, but will thrive particularly well in well drained moist soil. Their easy-going nature extends to aftercare, as they are generally pest-free and require little attention, other than a trim to tidy them up periodically. If you don't have much space or mainly grow in containers on a balcony 'Lutin Rouge' does very well in a pot.

WELL DEFINED
Mid-September to October, and mid-March to April are the best times to plant so now is the perfect time. Dig a hole double the width of the root ball. Sprinkle in a handful of blood, fish and bone and work into the ground. Place the plant into the hole, fill in with soil around the root ball and firm the soil down gently but firmly, finish by watering well. They will appreciate being mulched with well-rotted organic matter in late spring, but they aren't fussy; grass cuttings will do fine. My absolute favourite is Berberis thunbergii f. atropurpurea 'Admiration'. This lovely plant has extremely attractive orange-red foliage, edged with yellow, and forms an attractive mound shape. Its masses of small yellow flowers in the spring followed by purple-crimson berries in autumn make it the most perfect Berberis in my opinion.
