Hi there,
Welcome to our ‘Holidays’ edition Thank you for reading another edition of the Keep It Local Magazine. All of us here at Keep It Local Marketing and all of your local businesses thank you for another year of your support and would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! As I’m writing this , I’m hoping, like the rest of the nation, that the lockdown is due to be lifted and some normality is returned not only for Christmas but hopefully slowly and surely from here on out. We have another magazine this month full of puzzles for you to suit anyone and everyone. If you want something quick then we have a very festive wordsearch at the back to get you in the Christmas mood. If not some of our tougher puzzles are waiting for if you want something more involved. Don’t forget to check out our Kids Page for any little ones you may have looking for something to do. It’s Christmas themed (obviously!) and there is a Spot the difference this month, everybody’s favourite childhood puzzle.
November's Quiz Winner was Ellie & Ollie, Age 8 from Corringham, who won a Spies in Disguise 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 Paw Patrol Best in Snow. 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 December. We can design your ad for Free and a Month’s Advertising to 5,000 homes costs from as little as £45. You can contact us on 01268 330271 or email at sales@keepitlocal.marketing We do not vet our advertisers and take no responsibility for anyone who advertises in our magazines. Please stop by and like our Facebook page (Essex Business & Leisure Ltd)

HARDWORKING IVY The Holly and the Ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all the trees that are in the wood, The Holly bears the crown. Holly is much coveted festive greenery but what about ivy, or Hedera to give it the botanical name? It makes up the trio of festive plants, the other being mistletoe, and frankly it's usually seen as a bit of a poor relation, misunderstood and mostly unloved. Yet ivy is a great workhorse in the garden. It’s evergreen, it attracts wildlife and is excellent on those north-facing walls and fences where nothing else seems to grow. It's not just a dark green cloak either; there are many cultivars with different leaf shapes and variegated foliage. The variegated varieties are great in those areas that catch just a little sunlight during part of the day as they suddenly seem to illuminate a usually dull spot. Ivy is great for disguising an ugly wall, a bare fence, or an old tree stump. It’s a reliable and self-clinging climber if you choose the right variety and remember to prune it correctly. The young climbing stems are slender and flexible with small aerial roots that fix the shoot to a surface. Adult stems are thicker, self-supporting and do not have roots. Unlike mistletoe ivy isn't parasitic so won't harm trees but be careful about letting it grow on the walls of your house as it will damage weak mortar and pebbledash. If growing on a property it needs to be clipped back in spring and summer, so it doesn't do any damage to structure underneath. Don't let it get into gutters because it will clog them then infiltrate under tiles or slates. Ivy is excellent ground cover. It will scramble over areas of poor soil and brighten the ground between shrubs during the dark winter months. Persian ivy, Hedera colchica ‘Dentata Variegata’, is lovely because of its large, yellow-edged leaves. Hedera canariensis ‘Gloire de Marengo’ is also good. Its red stems and large leaves with splashes of yellow looks rather splendid. If you need an area covered quickly try Hedera Hibernica, which is a vigorous native ivy. Hedera helix is the other native ivy and this one has numerous cultivars including Goldheart, which has yellow-centred leaves, Green Ripple, with frilly edged leaves and ‘Buttercup’ which is bright yellow. I hope I've made a good case for growing ivy in your garden. Holly might bear the crown, but I reckon ivy deserves a tiara at the very least! Happy gardening and Merry Christmas,
