elcome to our November edition.

Forget that the nights have drawn in and the weather’s unpredictable – think about fireworks, bonfires, finally putting aside that summer wardrobe for lovely snuggly jumpers.

Remember remember the 5th November…

We’ll be spending the evening sitting in a darkened room with our two dogs assuring them that all is ok. You’d expect better of two gun dogs! Our circumstances aside, the local fireworks display is a great event with toffee apples, a huge bonfire and fireworks and, if it rains, the boggy field bringing a whole new level of fun!

However, November is also a sombre month: Remembrance Sunday takes place on the 12th November and, as usual, the Handy Mag has all the local services, parades and festivals of Remembrance - a chance for all of us to pay our respects.

Come the end of November we start the run up to the festive season. With Christmas Light Switch-Ons, Santa Runs, choral concerts and much more, it’s a time to get that Christmas cake started and perhaps get ahead to avoid lastminute stressful shopping trip by visiting our local markets and shops.

We’d also like to congratulate Malton in Bloom on winning a Silver Gilt in the Yorkshire in Bloom competition. This was an amazing achievement and a brilliant community effort. As someone who is lucky enough to work in the centre of Malton I can really say that the town was blooming this summer and it hasn’t stopped there - I have seen pansies appearing to brighten our winter.

We are very lucky to live in an area with many independently owned shops and markets.

Don’t forget to show your support to our local businesses at this time of year. At the Handy Mag we believe that supporting our local independent businesses builds strong communities, vibrant towns and a growing economy...that goes for local publishers too!

Until next month…

Malton in Bloom are RHS Silver Gilt Award winners

t’s official!

Malton in Bloom earned the prestigious Silver Gilt Award in the 2017 Yorkshire in Bloom RHS competition for Malton. No other entry in class did better than Malton!

A fantastic achievement for their first year.

The judges visited Malton in July and the tour of the floral displays was hosted by Paul Andrews, Malton’s Mayor and Christopher Turner. Volunteers from Malton Flower Club, Derwent Diggers, Malton and Norton Tidy Group, Malton WI, Malton and Norton Lions, friends of St. Michael’s Church, Malton School and Tate Smith Ltd talked to the judges on the day.

The awards ceremony, at York Race Course, was attended by over 450 participants from all over Yorkshire. Gail Cook, Malton’s Town Clerk and Elizabeth Parlett Rhodes, MiB volunteer were there to represented Malton.

Malton’s entry was judged on community involvement (30%), environment (30%) and horticulture (40%), securing 78 points out of a maximum 100. Judge Jo Birch commented

A ‘MAN WHO CAN’ IS ONLY A CALL AWAY!

“The community in Malton have really pulled together under the In bloom banner and are making incredible in roads to enhancing and improving their busy market town. We were impressed with the blaze of colour. We were impressed with the developments at the War Memorial Garden, the involvement of the Royal Air Cadets, the flower girls, WI and Malton and Norton Tidy Group making this area a focal point at the entrance to the town. Well done to Malton in Bloom’s first time entry, they are definitely one to watch.”

Malton in Bloom’s success would not be possible without support from Malton Town Council, Street Scene and Norton Town Council along with sponsors, businesses and volunteers. Work has already started for the winter season, with planning for summer 2018 well underway.

Thermal Imaging Camera FREE OF CHARGE - BOOKINGS NOW BEING TAKEN Want to save money and fuel this winter?

Thinking about improving your wall and roof insulation?

Find out where heat is escaping from your home.

KMEG volunteers have now used the Lottery funded camera for over 100 homes & businesses in the Kirkbymoorside area.

The camera picks up heat, rather than light like a normal camera.

Heat can be lost around windows, doors and skirting boards, through the roof or up the chimney of an unused fireplace.

Here heat is being lost through a bay window and through the wall from a radiator under the window.

You choose if you want any pictures taken. They can be emailed or printed for you. There’s no charge for the camera, but small donations to KMEG help the group with costs like insurance and publicity and are most welcome.

PLEASE CALL FOR A FREE FIXED PRICE QUOTATION

To book the camera: email Helen Gundry at helenspost@hotmail.co.uk or phone 01751 432447. We’ll fix a good time to call round with the camera. The best weather conditions are cloudy, dry and cold!

These days most homeowners suffer from a lack of storage space. So many precious items that need to be kept – but where to store it all? That’s where Yorkshire Loft Ladders come in.

The company, based locally, offers homeowners the opportunity to maximise their storage space with a loft ladder, 50 sq ft of boarding and a light all fully fitted in less than a day from just £277 + VAT. But it’s not just the affordability of the package the company offers that makes Yorkshire Loft Ladders stand out as manager Mark Hodson explains: ‘Our watchwords are Quality,

Integrity and Value. Quality in the materials that we use for all our installations and the fact that all our loft packages are fitted by time served tradesmen so our customers are assured of the best job. Integrity in that we will turn up at the time we say and make sure the house is spotless when we leave, and Value in that we offer our services at a price people can afford. Our business relies on referrals and we got a huge amount of our calls from people who have been referred to us by our existing customers - that simply wouldn’t happen if we didn’t adhere to our overriding principles.

At the end of the day the old adage that happy customers

lead to more happy customers is true and we work hard to make that happen for every installation we carry out!’

So, if you want to make use of your loft space, however big or

small, call Mark on 0800 612 8359 and he’ll be happy to pop round and give you a no obligation quote so you too can make use of your loft!

The Milton Rooms needs YOU!

I

t’s been an especially busy and positive year at the Milton Rooms as we continue to build a new and improved presence as a quality district arts and entertainment venue.

We’ve become a new member of the coveted Small Venues Network, delivered an amazing range of high quality, professional touring music and theatre, put dance back where it belongs, resurrected great comedy and initiated a successful broad programme of popular community events. But, as we don’t have any paid staff as such, then for any of this to happen, we need lots of volunteers - and now we need lots more!

We have a number of key marketing, publicity, distribution, customer service and technical roles to fill as well as requiring more admin help in the office together with lots of bar and front of house staff. In fact, there’s room for anyone who thinks they might like to give it a go! So please don’t be shy!

Most volunteers will give an hour or more a week of their time and many of the marketing and other support roles can be done from home and are also open to ‘job share’ as it’s important to have cover whenever anyone is on holiday etc.

We need all sorts of people types! Creatives, administrators, ‘people’ persons, tekkies, those with wild imaginations and even those who like wielding paintbrushes!

You can even ‘try before you buy’ so there’s no need to feel pressured into having to commit straight away. Come and join us for an event on a ‘taster’ basis and work alongside one of our regular, seasoned volunteers and see how you get on.

Duncombe Park Christmas Fair in aid of NSPCC

Preview evening on Thursday 16th November, 5pm to 9pm Friday 17th and Saturday 18th November 9.30am to 4pm (last entry 3.30pm).

E

ngland football legend and TV presenter Alan Shearer has given his support to the annual Duncombe Park Christmas Fair.

The fair, which has supported children’s charity the NSPCC for the past 20 years, will return this year with a VIP preview night with Champagne and canapes on Thursday, November 16 followed by two days of glamour, gifts and festive spirit.

Shearer, a long-time ambassador for the NSPCC, said: “I am very proud to be involved with this wonderful charity. I am passionate about doing what I can to raise awareness of the many problems our vulnerable children face today. My success on the football pitch has given me a platform to speak from and I am determined to do what I can to help.

“I would also like to thank The Hon. Jake and Raffaella Duncombe for welcoming us to their wonderful home, Duncombe Park. I think you will all agree it is a fantastic place in which to host Yorkshire’s most glamorous Fair!”

“I would also like to thank the hard working ladies of the Duncombe Park Christmas Fair Committee who make this all happen every year. They volunteer a huge amount of their time to get this fair organised and we are so very grateful to them.

Co-Chair Rachel Fraser added, “We are very grateful to Alan for his support and look forward to the Fair’s opening night on November 16.”

Last year’s charity fair raised £56,423 to help vulnerable children in Yorkshire and across the UK. Tickets for the Friday and Saturday are available to buy on the website at £8, or will be available on the door at £10 each. Tickets for the preview evening are £17.50 each on the website, and are strictly limited so buying your tickets early is advised.

1812 Pantomime: Dick Whittington and His Cat

he 1812 Theatre Company’s Pantomime returns, this time with Dick Whittington and a host of other entertaining characters to introduce you to the Panto season.

Directed by Helena Fox (Director of Everwitch Theatre) with choreography from Ashton Danby of Miss Sarah Louise Ashworth’s School of Dance and Musical Direction from Helmsley Arts Centre’s Artistic Director Natasha Jones this year promises to be a spectacular community event, bringing together a whole host of talent from Ryedale and beyond.

With a cast and crew of 50 aged 5 to 80+, 14 musical numbers and an array of impressive comedy props, the stage will be brimming with energy and festive spirit.

The volunteer wardrobe team have been busy sourcing and creating the most vibrant of panto costumes for the audience to feast their eyes upon and with Musical numbers from Shirley Temple to

Beyoncé there really is something for everyone!

Joe Gregory takes the lead as Dick Whittington with his friendly side kick Tommy the Cat, played by Joe Coughlan. Amy Hughes, an 1812 Youth Theatre member takes the female lead, Alice and HAC’s very own Martin Vander Weyer dons his best frock to bring us our Panto Dame, Sarah the Cook. 1812 Youth Theatre alumni Alastair Coughlan returns to HAC playing Idle Jack in this year’s panto before heading to The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York next year! Michelle Hopley will supply the traditional panto baddy boo’s as Queen Rat and Jude Cunnison fights the good fight as Fairy Bow Bells, assisted by a host of little elves and fairies who are sure to steal the show!

Performances run from Saturday 2nd December – Sunday 10th December to include 4 matinees and 6 evening shows. To book tickets go to www.helmsleyarts.co.uk or call the Box Office on 01439 771700.

New Malton showroom for Ryedale Blinds

fter manufacturing and installing blinds locally for over 18 years, Ryedale Blinds have opened their first shop on Castlegate in Malton and are looking forward to welcoming customers new and old.

The showroom has a large range of styles and materials on view along with lots of colour ideas and styles for all budgets and requirements.

Rich, Ryedale Blinds owner, has over 25 years’ experience in the industry and, along with Maureen and Sam, can manufacture blinds for all situations.

Do you have an awkward shaped window? Need conservatory roof blinds? Or have a specific design in mind? The team at Ryedale Blinds can help create your vision. Rich explains, “We’ve been in the business a long time and can offer advice about what styles might work in your home. Sometimes people arrive with one idea and after discussing their plans with us, leave with a completely new plan!”

Roman blinds are a popular fabric choice for interiors and Ryedale Blinds offers many fabric and colour options in the shop. They will even make up your roman blinds from your own fabric if you’ve found a fabric you particularly like.

Ryedale Blinds manufacture and install all types of window and conservatory blinds. Drop in and visit Rich, Maureen and Sam at the new shop opposite the entrance to Morrisons in Malton.

“We can manufacture and fit any type of blinds including vertical, conservatory pleated, wooden venetian, roman and roller blinds,” says Rich.

“And we have a vast range of options, colours and patterns so that each blind is tailored to your particular requirements. Wood venetians in smart contemporary styles and natural wood colours are currently right on trend.”

Recently new child safety regulations were introduced and all blinds in rooms with young children must comply by law. Any cords or chains that are used to operate the blind must be kept out of reach or appropriate safety catches used.

Ryedale Blinds sells compliant blinds and also specialises in electric roller blinds which have no cords at all.

Love your local market Something for everyone at Malton’s Weekly Market.

Andrew Riley, of The Market Managers, says “The market has been growing over the last few months and we now have a good selection of traders.

We have plans for some expansion in the coming months too with new stalls on the way. It’s an exciting time for the market.”

The market was moved from the west side of the Market Place earlier this year and is now back to its traditional place in front of the Town Hall building.

I

f you’ve recently been shopping in Malton on a Saturday you’ll have noticed that the weekly market has not only moved to the east side of the Market Place between the Town Hall and the Post Office, but has been steadily growing.

Ian Thomas has a book stall every Saturday and is delighted to be trading at the new site, “We get a lot more people browsing the market on a Saturday morning now so it’s great to be back to the original site.”

Malton Weekly Market is at the heart of the local community and offers a wide range of groceries and sweet treats, but also other interesting products, such as baskets, flowers, handmade knitwear, pet supplies, bespoke picture frames and technology. There is always something new and exciting to tempt regular market goers and casual visitors alike.

Local markets have made a comeback in recent years as a place to explore, to encounter the unexpected, and to talk to the people behind many of the goods on sale. Friendly stall holders, some family businesses who have traded in Malton for many years, are constantly aiming to provide high quality products at extremely competitive prices.

Along with Malton’s monthly food markets on the west side of the Market Place, the centre of Malton is really bustling all year round.

Visit the newly refreshed Malton Weekly Market every Saturday 9am – 4pm.

Incessant rain, Tapping on the window pane; Blurred glass, almost opaque.

Fields turn to liquid soil; And like a postulating boil, The drain erupts to form a lake.

Where once a road, A sullied stream to incommode Pedestrians, commuters, and the like.

Sinking, swimming; Full to brimming, The over burdened ditch and dyke.

The wind swells and heaves, Unhinging ragged, remnant leaves.

Rubbing branches creak and croak.

Whipping, cutting like a scythe.

Windswept limbs thrash and writhe, All save the nonconformist oak.

Return of The Rumble forebodingly steep climbs and fast descents”, the organisers hope that, with a choice of three routes – extreme, challenge and inspire – the event has something for everyone from the most experienced riders to those just starting out.

Event Director, Lizzie Coutts explains “As a school we feel privileged to be reviving one of the UK’s most popular cycling sportive. A superb physical challenge to riders of all abilities, on routes across stunning North Yorkshire countryside, whilst raising funds to help Ryedale’s future generation - it’s a winning combination!”

T

he popular Ryedale Rumble is making its long-awaited return to cycling’s sportive calendar on July 29th, 2018.

Now being run by The Friends of Ryedale School, the Rumble has a few changes of route but essentially is still the same exhilarating and arduous challenge that it always was.

Gary Verity, CEO of Welcome to Yorkshire commented, “It’s fantastic that the Ryedale Rumble is making its return and raising money for a great cause.

Whatever your ability, the three routes will provide a stern yet highly rewarding challenge and they take place on some of our county’s most picturesque roads. Cycling is booming across Yorkshire and I’d very much encourage people to give it a go.”

Described by previous participants as “almost a perfect Sportive with great scenery, friendly support,

Rocking around Scampston’s Locally-Grown Christmas Trees Christmas gets off to a treeific start on Thursday 30th November when Scampston’s Christmas trees go on sale.

Father Christmas and Further Festivities at Scampston’s Christmas Craft Market on the 3rd December On Sunday 3rd December, Scampston will be kick-starting festive celebrations with a Christmas market taking place in the Victorian Conservatory from 10.30am - 4pm.

C

hristmas trees have been grown at Scampston and on a partner farm at Lowthorpe, near Driffield, for decades.

When a tree is harvested, another is planted in its place, ensuring the production of Scampston’s trees is entirely sustainable.

Nigel Harrison, head woodsman: “It takes a surprising amount of time to cultivate your perfect Christmas tree, every foot can take up to a year to grow – and there is a lot of pruning to get the right shape. We like to think that our local trees have a little more personality than your average tree!”

Trees will be on sale daily 10am – 4pm in Scampston Walled Garden. Contact trees@scampston.co.uk or call 01944 759111 for more information. Delivery is available.

Annual members of Scampston Walled Garden are entitled to a 10% discount on their Christmas tree.

Children, both naughty and nice, will also get the opportunity to get to meet Father Christmas and put in their requests for the big day.

Scampston will become the go-to destination for unusual Christmas gifts with a wide range of stalls including local crafts and traditional festive foods.

For further information, contact rachel@scampston.co.uk or call 01944 753 105.

Further information can be found about Christmas trees and events on the Scampston website: www.scampston.co.uk

ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE

The 9 elements of an effective website homepage

By Rob Davies, It'seeze Ryedale

T

he homepage is the most important page of any website. It’s the shop-front of your business online and in the majority of cases, will be the single most visited page on your site.

Include these 9 important elements to create a winning Homepage:

1. A great headline

It’s the first thing your web visitors see, and you need to grab their attention. A great headline needs to effectively communicate the core benefits of your products or services to your target customers – in clear, simple terms.

2. A descriptive intro

Right below your headline, you need to make it clear exactly what it is you offer. This is a simple, clear description that focuses on what you do, and reinforces what customers will get from doing business with you.

3. Clear navigation

Visitors simply won’t waste time on your site if they can’t quickly and easily find the information that they need. Well labelled navigation, prominently positioned at the very top of the homepage will help to direct your audience to the pages that they want to visit.

4. Calls to action

Your homepage needs to encourage visitors towards the relevant information on other pages in your site.

Incorporate a number of calls to action that link to different pages in your site or contact information, so that it works for all your potential customers.

5. High quality images/video content

They say a picture paints a thousand words, and

quality imagery and/or video content will really benefit your homepage. Wherever possible, use unique, professional photographs, images, illustrations or short videos that are relevant to your business – rather than stock photography.

6. Benefit driven copy

Features are fine, but benefits are better! Make sure the copy on your homepage communicates some clear, tangible benefits about your business, products or services. Wherever you mention features, ensure that each one is tied to a clear benefit or USP – written with your customers’ needs in mind.

7. A list of features, products or services

A bullet point list of your key products, services or features can provide visitors with a quick, clear view of what your business does. You can also use the list to link to relevant pages, helping to funnel traffic towards the right pages on your site.

8. Trust factors

Most customers won’t buy from you straight away.

You need to build trust, and the homepage is an excellent place to start this process. Customer testimonials, links to case studies and featuring your accreditations or awards in the footer are all good ways of reassuring website visitors that they’re dealing with a reputable business.

9. Contact details!

In many cases, customers will simply be looking for your contact details, so they can get in touch. Make things as easy as possible, and include them on your homepage, somewhere where visitors will see them. Including a phone number and an email in the header can be an effective way of doing this without impacting on the design.

Gardening A Busy November

Cut back or pick off obviously diseased leaves and stems, and remove some of the foliage that is dying back. Leave some deteriorating but healthy foliage in place to provide protection for the crowns of more fragile plants.

Despite the seasonal slowdown there are lots of jobs which, if done now, could end up saving you time and money later on - so here are the top November gardening tasks to get to grips with.

Hoe off weeds that are around now, as some might still set seed during mild, damp periods. Provided they have no seed pods their top-growth can safely be composted, but bin, burn or rot down fleshy weed roots to prevent them growing in the compost heap!

Rabbits become more of a menace as natural food supplies reduce, so make sure that rabbit netting is not damaged and that trees, especially those that have been planted recently, are fitted with tree guards. If there is a tree near your lawn, rake up fallen leaves to prevent damage to the grass beneath.

Trees, shrubs and climbers that have been planted recently may need protection from frost and cold winds. Use a layer of horticultural fleece draped over the plant and pegged in place; it can be removed on warmer days.

If you’re planning on hedge-planting, remember that many hedging plants are cheaper if bought ‘bare root

70

field grown’, meaning lifted from their nursery field without being potted on. Bare root plants are not feasible once the leaves start to appear next year.

Use seed catalogues and websites to help decide what you want to grow next year. Order now and you can relax, knowing that you have got your first choice selection.

Established clumps of bamboo should be thinned out now. The extra space that the remaining canes will have will allow them to grow better, and also gives them more freedom to move about in that way which makes bamboos so very appealing. Less tender bulbs such as nerines and many of the agapanthus will winter better if you give them a little protection now. Mound dry chipped bark or other mulch over the area in which they are planted.

And last but not least, before water butts fill up with autumn rain grab a sturdy brush and clean each one out thoroughly, removing deposits of algae, soggy bits of plant and general gunge! Rinse out and then re-install ready to collect some rain. www.pippagreenwood.com

Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile!

It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services.

Managing Director Paul McGeechan feels that it’s all about service.

‘Our product is simple.

If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps.

Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’

Cloudy2Clear service the Malton, Norton, Kirkbymoorside, Pickering & Helmsley

areas and Paul is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success.‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family

of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Paul a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Removals & Deliveries

O

ctober 31st is celebrated as Halloween in many parts of the world. Its origins are obscure, but at least one origin is believed to be a Christian festival – All Saints, or All Hallows, Eve. It In the Christian Church it has become a time of reflection on the lives of those heroes and heroines of the Christian faith who, by their deeds or through their suffering, have sought to make the world a better place.

But what defines a saint? If we look in the Bible, the apostle Paul addressed his letters to “the saints” who lived in various places, and clearly he included everyone in the particular church to which he was writing. And we know from those letters that not everyone was a hero. Indeed in some churches there were those whose example was one definitely not to follow!

So what did those people have in common that enabled Paul to call them “saints”? It was not that they were heroes, but rather that they had become Christian believers. So in a sense, all Christians are saints. Yet in our common understanding, a saint, religious or not, is a role model – one whose life we would be proud to copy.

This raises two questions for us. The first is: do we want to be numbered with the saints? If we do, then commitment to Jesus Christ is a necessity.

The second is: do we want to be a hero or heroine - one who will set an example and inspiration to those who follow?

We may not be canonised as a saint, but if we are in any sense heroes, we will give support and encouragement to those who are seeking to make the world a better place.

Remember remember your pets this November!

by Battle Flatts Veterinary Clinic

H

ere at Battleflatts Veterinary Clinic we have been advising our clients on how they can help their pets cope during the firework season. A fear of fireworks is a very common problem affecting 80% of pets. They have very acute hearing so can find the loud bangs and crackles very distressing.

Animals will show signs of stress as soon as they hear a loud noise. Signs include trembling, clinginess, cowering, hiding, shaking and vocalisation. It is always advisable to seek help from professional people (vet/animal behaviourist) as soon as any of these signs are seen, as left untreated, mild firework fear can become serious noise phobia. This is when they are normally presented to the vet (the behaviour is at its worst) but sadly this is the time when dramatic improvements aren’t possible and we instead try to ‘treat’ the condition throughout the year.

Phobias have a tendency to get worse not because an animal has experienced a more frightening event, but because his planned coping method has become more exaggerated every time. Phobias can result in associations with places, people and activities; it’s not uncommon for a dog to refuse to visit a place where he heard a sudden bang.

Our top tips for the firework season: • Walk your dog earlier in the day • Keep your pets inside - fireworks can start unexpectedly • Ensure your pet has some form of Identification (microchip and or Tag) just in case they escape • Ignore any fearful behaviour exhibited from your pets. Keep calm and carry on as normal. Your pet will pick up on your anxious vibes!

• Close windows and doors, block off cat flaps and close the curtains. Turn up the TV or radio to help block out the sound of fireworks • Try not to leave your pets alone • Provide a den or hiding place for your pet.

• And most importantly DO NOT punish your pet!

This will make the problem worse

Not forgetting our small animals: • Where possible bring hutches and enclosures indoors. A garage or shed would be suitable, but if this isn’t possible you could turn the hutch to face the wall.

• Provide additional bedding to burrow in to feel safe.

• Cover any hutches/aviaries with a thick blanket, old carpet or duvet to block out flashes and sounds.

Ensure there is plenty of ventilation.

• After the firework season is over is the best time to tackle curing the phobia. Behaviour therapy works extremely well but is very time consuming and requires a committed owner.

If you have any questions or concerns then any of the vets or nurses will be happy to help you.

Fireworks

Paige Robinson Student Veterinary Nurse, Station House Vets Fireworks, we either love or hate them, and that’s the same for our beloved fur babies.

Bonfire Night is approaching fast and for a lot of us that can mean stressful times, trying to keep our pets safe and calm. It is no longer just one night a year this happens, it tends to happen at any time, more especially from Bonfire night through to New Year’s Eve. It’s common for animals to become scared and stressed more at this time, due to loud noises, flashing lights and the proximity of some of the fireworks to our homes.

The most common signs that they are becoming stressed or anxious can consist of panting, shaking, excessive barking, ears back, excessive grooming of themselves and trying to find a place to hide.

As an owner you will be able to assist in reducing the risk of these symptoms occurring by planning ahead and aiming to keep them in a safe, calm environment.

A de-sensitisation product such as Adaptil/Feliway can be used within the home to provide a calm environment. These can help to reduce stress levels before they build to a distressing level for not only the animal but for you as well. It is advisable to introduce these into the home as early as possible as they take a few weeks to become effective and for the animals to become familiar with the scent.

It is also advisable to provide a calm, secure area within the home where the animal feels comfortable and safe. This could be their bed, covered crate or den, which is a dark area with minimal noise or some form of background noise such as the radio, TV or CD that can distract them.

Fireworks are generally set off once it gets dark outside so trying to walk your dog before it gets dark may help to avoid stress by ensuring they are in a safe place when the fireworks start.

Preparation is the key to happy pets

Fersina Windows A bespoke service for every customer

A

fter more than 30 years in business you might think that Alan and Carol Walker at Fersina Windows in Malton would want to take it easy, but they are as passionate as ever about serving their customers and the local area.

“In the last 5 years we’ve raised our own expectations for customer satisfaction and we’ve significantly improved our skill level,” Alan says.

That, alongside employing a friendly local team and further access to specialists from all fields, means that Fersina are really on top of their game.

The word at Fersina is ‘bespoke’ and they can provide everything from complex frames to conservatory upgrades and high quality composite doors to automatic garage doors, all to fit with your particular home and budget.

Alan explains, “As we go to great lengths to match the style of property with all of our installations, we have consistently been getting building regulations passed for Article 4 Conservation Areas within the North York Moors area. Mechanical jointing and colour matching means that our UPVC windows fit perfectly in any property whether it is traditional or contemporary. In order to ensure all products are perfect we also have access to a graphite welder which gives an almost invisible weld.”

Do you have an under used conservatory? Fersina can help you regain the space as an all year round room with an upgrade. Alan says, “The type of upgrade is dependent on the particular house but can mean that heat loss drops by more than 15% of what we could achieve with high performance glass alone. There is one proviso and that is that the conservatory must be up to standard to be able to withstand the new roof but

"We go to great lengths to match the style of property with all of our installations" we have a meter to determine whether this is the case.” Fersina will even deal with all of the building regulations and requirements needed for when the house is sold at a later date.

And from the elegant to the ‘everyday’, Fersina’s outstanding portfolio of products also includes standard or automatic garage doors, a great idea if you find lifting heavy items difficult. If security is top of your list, then why not consider a Rockdoor, the strongest spec door on the market today.

From reglazing to a complete conservatories and roofline, Fersina Windows is perfectly placed to help with any of your requirements.

Why not drop into the Fersina Showroom in Horsemarket Road in Malton for a chat with Alan and the team or call 01653 693590. fersinanorthyorks@yahoo.co.uk www.fersina.co.uk
