Hi there, Welcome to our 10 Year Anniversary edition It’s our 10 year birthday everybody! 10 years ago we published our first ever magazine and posted the first copy of what was soon to become millions.
July’s Quiz Winner was from Stanford-le-Hope who won a Sonic the Hedgehog DVD. Well done to all those who got the correct answer despite our mistake! Congratulations!
We owe a massive thank you to both Claire & Elaine for all their hard work over the last 10 years. Also a special thanks to both our loyal advertiser and every one of you that support all small businesses in your local community.
In the kids quiz this month your family has the chance to win a DVD copy of Onward The Next Level. Don’t forget you have to be in it to win it!
From this month you will see a major change in our little magazine, starting with the name. Next month look out for the ‘Keep It Local’ magazine coming through your door. It will be the same magazine with puzzles, competitions, articles and most importantly fantastic local businesses. Whilst we undergo this rebranding please reach out with any ideas of editorial you would like to see whether its a one off feature or something we could publish monthly, we like to keep our ideas local too! Thanks again for your support, we can’t wait for the next 10 years.

Hiring a cleaner during Covid-19 the responsibility falls with them and not the company. At Bright and Beautiful all our staff are fully employed and have undergone extensive Covid-19 training.
disinfecting kit, social distancing and disinfecting all high touch areas in your home as we leave. You can see more here: brightandbeautiful home.com/covid-19-statement
Professional domestic housekeeping company Bright and Beautiful share the top three things you should be asking your cleaning company during Covid-19:
2. Is the company insured? You should ask about Public Liability insurance (which covers you and your home) and Employee liability insurance (which covers the staff coming into your home). Without these insurances you may be liable for the cleaner(s) in your home.
1. Are the staff employed or agency workers? Agency workers should not be ‘trained’ as this can be ‘disguised employment’, meaning each cleaner is self-employed and
3. What are your Covid-19 procedures? At Bright and Beautiful we have very strict Covid procedures that all our housekeepers must follow, such as regular handwashing,
Whether you want to ensure your house is kept safe and clean during these times or you need help keeping your home clean with all the family around, Bright and Beautiful can tailor a plan to suit you. A one off deep clean to get your home sparkling again, or a regular service could help your home feel like a sanctuary once again.
We know that a clean house is more important than ever now and having a cleaner in your home may raise questions or concerns during these uncertain times. But as long as you are employing a professional company with all the correct procedures in place it should not be a concern.

WELL-BEING AND WATER Most people find the sound of water relaxing. The benefits of 'blue space' – the sea, rivers, lakes, canals and waterfalls, have been studied, and found to be psychologically restorative; associated with increased sense of well-being, lower levels of stress and mental illness, lower blood pressure, and higher levels of vitamin D. In short, being by water is good for body and mind. Can we replicate this in our gardens? There are many ways to introduce water into a smaller space, including natural look ponds and waterfalls, but you don't need a deep ornamental pond; you can create a small pond in a container, or create a toddler and pet-friendly pebble pond, or install a modern water feature which uses reflective surfaces that bounce light around, creating movement and life in the tiniest space. Any water source will attract a wide range of wildlife. I have a metallic sphere water feature on my patio that seems to be a magnet for dragonflies, which are a delight to watch. A shallow beached area or pebble pool will attract bathing birds, and also frogs and toads, which can shelter, breed, and stay out of sight of potential predators. You may even attract a hedgehog or two. They enjoy shallow pools with sloped edges, so they can drink and bathe without falling in. A small barrel or container pond will allow algae to grow which will attract water invertebrates including snails, pond skaters and water boatmen. Kids love water so introducing a pond is a great way to encourage them to learn about local wildlife while having fun. Safety is crucial though; if you have young children it might be better to wait until they are older before creating a large pond, as it will require constant supervision. A pebble pool with a small fountain effect provides all the sound and fun of water with none of the depth, and a large trug or half barrel can be transformed into a tiny wildlife pond. If you do create a pond, position it where it can be seen from the house, make sure the edges slope gently, and fence it off while the children are young. Planting around water features is half the fun. The water forget-me-not, Myosotis scorpioides is perfect for growing in shallow water or in the muddy area at the edge of ponds. It has pretty blue flowers in late spring and attracts newts, which lay their eggs on the leaves. Irises and grasses look lovely planted around any water features and you can even find a tiny lily - Nymphaea 'Pygmaea Alba' white - for small ponds, which has the bonus of being heavily scented. Water features in a garden are no longer the preserve of the rich, with acres to spare. Even if you only have a tiny balcony you can now enjoy the sight and sound of water in your outside space. Happy gardening,
