Hi there, Welcome to our March edition Thanks for reading yet another edition of the Essex Business and Leisure Local Magazines. We couldn’t be more grateful for your support and I know all the local businesses we are fortunate enough to advertise are thankful for it as well. Currently I’m sitting here waiting for Spring to hurry up and get here. I do love wrapping up warm for the Winter but I think I’m ready to put my thick jumpers back up in the loft! Once again we are running our local events page with 5 brilliant events this month in and around your local area, include a mini bake off and a charity dog walk. For any of you that are still struggling with the fitness hype this year we have a great article specifically aimed at beginners. In just four weeks you can successfully run a mile. Who knows where you might get to from there. Most importantly of all this month, be sure to turn your attention to the article helping with you with an idea or two to treat mum this Mother’s Day!

Last months quiz winner was Faye Maryson from Denham Road who won a Goosebumps 2 DVD. Congratulations Faye! In the kids quiz this month your child has the chance to win a Fantastic Beasts 2 DVD. 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 March.

SPRING / SUMMER 2019 TREND REPORT PART 1 Women are having a moment. This month we come together to mark International Women’s Day on the 8th March. This event is about tackling issues such as inequality, sexism and the gender pay gap and celebrating how far we have come, but equally the work still left to do. For me it’s about having a choice, not being dictated to by social pressures. I can have a full time job and children or I can be a full time mum or I can stay single without wanting a family and I will not be judged. We can “have it all” or choose not to… This freedom to live our own best life is mirrored in the new season fashion, which is both diverse and expressive. The catwalks seem to be putting two fingers up at the grim nature of current affairs and the international political climate and offering us a release. It is so important for us to be able to stand tall in clothes that make us feel confident and empowered. Nature is teasing us with new life – tiny green shots appear just above the soil and the sun gradually gives us more and more daytime. Dress Doctor grants you permission to look ahead to spring time using these pointers as new ideas to refresh your current offering:

Beige is the new Basic When you think of beige you may think of a buffet full of sausage rolls or just total mediocracy. It is time to change your mind set and see the shade as your new black or navy. This neutral now feels so fresh and seems to go with everything and there is a shade to suit all skin tones. If you already own the creamy mac now you can branch out wearing the hue from head to toe or using it to offset colours such as post-box red or olive green.

The Hard Working Day Dress

RS Wearing a dress on a summer’s day is nothing LACEMENT new, but designers have put more emphasis on detail and glamour than ever before. Trends of S & THERMOSTATS late have been nudging us towards having the CERTIFICATION confidence to wear our best frocks during daytime

hours and now I am definitely coming around to the idea. I am not quite championing feathery creations on the school run, but some bold florals and neon brights certainly wouldn’t go a miss…

Do you own a conservatory

not fit for purpose? Advertisement Feature

There are literally many 1000’s of home owners throughout the UK who own a conservatory, the majority being practically useless through the summer and winter months. Is this you?

5% VAT plus £600 off The majority of conservatories installed during the late 80’, 90’s and early 2000 will have a polycarbonate roof. A roof with no insulation value and virtually zero protection from direct sunlight. A room that is far too hot during summer and has a fridge effect in winter. More and more home owners are opting to have a more thermally efficient roof installed. There are tiled roof options available, the tiles will usually be a composite material with various fitting options available, some are a complete roof replacement and others are where the existing roof stays in place. High-Tech are convinced that is a good practice to remove the existing roof. High-Tech completely remove the existing roof leaving just the windows and doors of the conservatory. They construct a timber frame roof, exactly the same as if you had a new extension built; timber joists are then reinforced to accept a glass lantern. The roof is boarded and warm roof insulation is fitted along with new external UPVC roof line and guttering products. It is then made permanently water tight with the lifetime guaranteed flat roof system.

The glass aluminium thermally efficient roof lantern is installed. Followed by internal installation of a new conventional plaster board ceiling along with lighting etc. The ceiling is plastered ready for painting. High-Tech create a luxurious orangery style room. The glass lantern will not only offer the WOW factor, you will also have the natural light required. Bring your conservatory back to life, add value to your home and enjoy the comforts.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 5% VAT. Yes, because you would be upgrading your thermal element you only pay 5% VAT. ALONG WITH FURTHER £600 DISCOUNT making it a great time to replace your conservatory roof with High-Tech.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG Spring usually arrives by mid-March and the frequent sunny days provide the opportunity for an increasing range of gardening tasks. It’s time to get busy preparing seed beds, sowing seed, cutting back winter shrubs and generally tidying up around the garden. Here’s a list of the top 10 jobs to do this March. 1 Protect new spring shoots from slugs 2 Plant shallots, onion sets and early potatoes 3 Plant summer-flowering bulbs 4 Lift & divide overgrown clumps of perennials 5 Top dress containers with fresh compost 6 Mow the lawn on dry days (if needed) 7 Cut back Cornus (dogwood) and Salix (willow) grown for colourful winter stems 8 Hoe and mulch weeds to keep them under control early 9 Start feeding fish and using the pond fountain; remove pond heaters 10 Prune bush and climbing roses Lets have a closer look at number 4, dividing overgrown and clumping perennials. Plants can be divided successfully at almost any time if they are kept well-watered afterwards. However, division is most successful when the plants are not in active growth. Divide summer-flowering plants in spring (Mar-May). Spring is also better suited to plants that are a touch tender.

Cutting Clearing Hedge Trimming

Lift plants gently with a garden fork, working outwards from the crown’s centre to limit root damage. Shake off excess soil so that roots are clearly visible Some plants, such as Ajuga (bugle), produce individual plantlets which can simply be teased out and replanted Small, fibrous-rooted plants such as Heuchera, Hosta and Epimedium can be lifted and pulled apart gently. This should produce small clumps for replanting. In some cases, a sharp knife, axe or lawn edging iron may be needed to cleave the clump in two For more tips and information on the other items please visit www.rhs.org.uk

RUN A MILE IN 4 WEEKS This four-week training program is designed for total beginner run/walkers who want to build up to running a mile. This program is a run/walk to continuous running program. Each week, you’ll make a slight increase to your running distance and a decrease in your walking distance. By the end of four weeks, you’ll be able to run one mile without stopping. If you do struggle with excercise please consult a medical or training professional and only use this as a guide. For measuring purposes, you can use MapMyRun.com or one of many free phone apps. You should start each run with a 5-10 minute warm-up walk. Finish up with a 5-10 minute cool-down walk. You don’t have to do your runs on specific days; however, you should try not to run two days in a row. It’s better to take a rest day or do crosstraining on the days in between runs as your body is adapting to the training. Cross-training can be walking, biking, swimming, or any other activity (other than running) that you enjoy. If you find that the program progresses too quickly for you, you can repeat a week before moving on to the next week. Week 1: Day 1: Run 1/16 mile, walk 3/16 mile – repeat 4 times Day 2: Rest or cross-train Day 3: Run 1/16 mile, walk 3/16 mile – repeat 4 times Day 4: Rest Day 5: Run 1/16 mile, walk 3/16 mile – repeat 4 times Day 6: Rest or cross-train Day 7: Rest Week 2: Day 1: Run 1/8 mile, walk 1/8 mile – repeat 4 times Day 2: Rest or cross-train Day 3: Run 1/8 mile, walk 1/8 mile – repeat 4 times

Day 4: Rest Day 5: Run 1/8 mile, walk 1/8 mile – repeat 4 times Day 6: Rest or cross-train Day 7: Rest Week 3: Day 1: Run 3/16 mile, walk 1/16 mile – repeat 4 times Day 2: Rest or cross-train Day 3: Run 3/16 mile, walk 1/16 mile – repeat 4 times Day 4: Rest Day 5: Run 3/16 mile, walk 1/16 mile – repeat 4 times Day 6: Rest or cross-train Day 7: Rest Week 4: Day 1: Run 1 mile Day 2: Rest or cross-train Day 3: Run 1 mile Day 4: Rest Day 5: Run 1 mile Day 6: Rest or cross-train Day 7: Rest
