Planning Ahead... by Sharon Longshaw
So Christmas is over and we turn our thoughts to Spring and the hope that it will arrive early so that we can get out and get our fingers dirty again. Now is a good time to plan what you are going to plant and where, every garden have what is termed as micro climates, one side may see more sun than the other or you may have a very wet area where nothing seems to grow, the thing with plants is there is one for every spot you just have to choose carefully. Lots of people complain of buying plants only to watch then die within weeks of planting, a little knowledge can not only save you money but can make every bit of your garden bloom. Here are a few pointers to help you get it right .. Plants for shade: Erythronium, Epimedium, hardy ferns, hardy geraniums, hellebores (Helleborus), snowdrops,Viola odorata and Hepatica are shade loving plants. Plants for Full sun: Antirrinum, Gazania, Marigold, Osteospermum, Buddleja, Hibiscus, Lavender, Roses
and Cistus are hardy in hot dry conditions. Plants for Wet (clay)areas: Cornus alba, Hydrangea, Weigela, Kerria, Astilbe, Iris and Hostas all thrive in wet clay soils. Plants for Acid soil: Rhododendron, Camellia, Pieris, Corylopsis and Azalea all prefer acid soils and are unlikely to thrive in Alkaline soils. Plants for Alkaline (chalky) soil: Achillea, Aubretia, Gypsophilia, Acanthus, Iberis, Campanula and Euphorbia will all be very at home in chalky soils. Many good garden centres will test your soil for you in you go armed with a sample from the area you wish to plant, they will then be able to give you their best advice as to what plants are appropriate.
Happy New Year and here’s to an early Spring! Provided by Flower Power Garden Services www.southendgardener.co.uk 01702 305554

BOOTCAMP
Vicky Hitchens - 07779 646945 www.fatlossbootcampessex.co.uk
Cholesterol Good or Bad? Our bodies need cholesterol to function. However, too much cholesterol in the bloodstream can be unhealthy; it builds up in the artery wall and can increase the risk of coronary heart disease. One of the biggest misconceptions people have is that food is packed with cholesterol. In fact very little cholesterol is found in food – the main culprits being eggs, offal and shellfish. What’s important is the type of fat in the foods you choose especially saturated fat. Once inside the body, the liver turns this fat into cholesterol.
There are two main types of cholesterol: • LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) known as ‘bad cholesterol’ that can clog your arteries and put you at risk of heart disease.
• HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) known as ‘good cholesterol’ because it actually helps remove bad cholesterol from the body. There is a third type of cholesterol called VLDL (Very Low Density Lipoprotein) containing a kind of fat called triglycerides. Triglyceride is a type of fat which comes mainly from food. Calories that are eaten and not used are converted into triglycerides and transported to fat cells for storage. You are at a much greater risk of heart disease if you have high levels of bad cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood and low levels of good cholesterol.
It is desirable to have a total cholesterol level under 5mmol/l. More importantly, you should look at the ratio of bad (LDL) cholesterol and good (HDL) cholesterol aiming for a ratio of about 3:1 (LDL:HDL) You are considered at risk if the ratio rises to 5:1 or higher. Exercise has a beneficial effect on the ‘good:bad’ ratio by increasing the good cholesterol and reducing the bad cholesterol levels in the body. This is because a fitter body is more efficient at burning fat - therefore reducing the bad cholesterol - but also because the livers of fitter people produce more good cholesterol which actually helps to remove the bad cholesterol from the blood. Exercise is great fun; it is fantastic for boosting self esteem and body image and helping to reduce anxiety, stress and depression. If you do not think that exercise is fun it is probably because you haven’t found the right type of exercise yet. There are so many different types and ways to exercise walking, swimming, dancing, badminton, yoga/pilates, aerobics, football… the possibilities are endless!! If you exercise with friends it will be far easier to stay motivated which is why our Bootcamp programs are so fun as everyone works together to make themselves much healthier together and they are having fun at the same time!
I think we should all make it our resolutions to ‘commit to get fit’ & remember getting fit is fun!

The first phase of the work is due to start week commencing the 7th January 2013 (weather permitting) and will continue for a period of approximately 6 weeks. The continuation of this work will commence in the later part of 2013. Funding of £38,000 has been provided by the Veolia Pitsea Marshes Trust and £15,000 from Essex County Council’s Big Society to assist with the work and further funding will be sought to assist with the completion of phase 2.
Unfortunately the Denham Road car park will be closed to the public during this period of work to enable the contractor to use this for their welfare unit and various parts of the lake area will be cordoned off by the contractor for health & safety reasons during various times. There will be a need for vehicle movement from various entrance points to the lake but this will be done with as little disruption to residents as possible. The contractor will be on site from 8am but no work will commence until after 8.30am and finish by 6pm. The Town Council is currently reviewing the ongoing maintenance requirements for the lake and are in discussions with the Environment Agency to formulate an ongoing management plan and reed cutting programme.
