ng Run, Darren from ThnedLBaond Local Canvey

Isla

I had this idea to write an album of songs about my hometown of Canvey Island, I'd been thinking about how to do it for quite a few years. I told my oldest friend John Cordon about it & we decided to do it with our rock band of 15 plus years called "The Long Run" which includes fellow Canvey natives Gavin Jones & Ryan Love. We chose to write about our memories growing up there and also about the legends, history & folklore. Songs about the concrete Barge, the jetty, viking settlers, days of smuggling and of course the flood of 53 to name a few.

The albums title derives from the anglo saxon "Caningaege" which means "The Land Of Canas People", this is where the Canvey name comes from.

We finally decided on 12 original songs that we hope will make the listener see the passion & pride for our hometown. We took several walks around the wall and took photos for inspiration, one of which ended up being the album cover.

For this album we had special guests Sarah Goldsmith on woodwind & Hannah Whitbourn on cello to give the music a progressive folk rock vibe. The album was recorded & produced independently by ourselves. It is available on CD Spotify & also a limited release on vinyl in a few months.

Contact us on our website www. the-longrun.co.uk or find us on Facebook @thelongrundarrenchubsjohngav for enquiries

I hope you enjoy it as much as we

did creating it!

Save Water

In spite of the somewhat soggy spring water is an increasingly precious resource in the UK. Over the past few decades, rivers, reservoirs, and ground water supplies have become depleted.

It’s important to save water where we can.

Most of us have enough space for at least one water butt, and there are slimline versions for smaller plots. Connect them to every available downpipe around your house! Fit guttering to sheds and summer houses to allow even more water collection. Keep the butts covered to prevent leaves falling in and deter mosquitos from breeding.

Water during cooler parts of the day. A good soak every few days is better than little and often, because when only the surface is wet most of the water evaporates or drains away. Also, water only at critical stages like germination, or when you've just transplanted young plants with immature root systems, or when fruit is setting such as tomatoes or strawberries.

Bare soil loses moisture quickly through evaporation so mulch, mulch, mulch. Use straw, grass clippings or leaf mould. Mulching has the added benefit of smothering weeds.

Greenhouses can be a major source of water wastage. Never place pots directly on to staging.

Instead use capillary matting or trays to capture run-off and enable plants to access this when needed.

Cutting Clearing Hedge Trimming

The only time you shouldn't use rainwater is with seedlings. They are vulnerable a variety of fungal infections called which fall under the catchall phrase, 'damping off disease'. Tap water only is recommended for seedlings. But once they are potted up, you can switch to harvested rainwater.

'Grey' water is water from washing up or washing vegetables, or even bathwater. Collecting it can be a good idea providing you take certain precautions. There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube to help you make the most of your own grey water. Use rinsing water only or eco products free from phosphates which are harmful to the microflora in the soil. Bathwater should not be stored for too long and should only be used to water flowers, never edible crops, because of the risk of bacterial growth harmful to humans if ingested.

I hope this has inspired you to save water in your garden this summer.

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.

We took over Ambika Lodge in 2018 and Umika Lodge in 2019 , offering accommodation in a homely setting, and top quality care for our residents.

Both home nurtures residents from the initial point of contact making an enquiry, through trial days, and during their time living there.

‘the closest thing to a home from home’

“From the very beginning we assess needs and what people are looking for and make the process easy by allocating a member of staff to them,” says Liza . “They can come and look at the home, and can bring their own personal items with them.

A range of activities is arranged throughout the week, from arts and crafts to gardening, bingo, quizzes and more.

All food at both homes is homemade. “We have fresh vegetables every day. We

offer continental and cooked breakfasts, lunch is a three course meal, then there’s supper. Residents have a choice. If they don’t like what’s on the menu the cook is more than happy to prepare them something else.”

Snacks are available too throughout the day and night, and special diets are catered for. There are currently vacancies at Ambika and Umika Lodge .

Call anytime to chat with the Manager and arrange a visit.

Vic adds: “We pride ourselves on providing a friendly environment and we strive for exceptionally high standards for our residents. All our staff have received their COVID vaccinations and are working within government guidelines on PPE’s.
