Sophisticated Summerhouses

Expert advice on new stand alone glass garden buildings from L&L

A Pavilion in white with a polycarbonate roof and laminate flooring, styled as a summerhouse with space for dining

L&L, in tandem with established Welsh supplier, Nordic Garden Buildings, have launched a brand new range of stand alone glass buildings, ideal for use as a summerhouse. Director, John Lannen explains more.

A

lmost all of us love spending a summer evening in the garden with a glass of wine in hand. Yet too often, in our climate, we find ourselves frustrated that the warmth of the day has faded too soon. We’ll fetch a jumper, perhaps huddle around a chimenea, then eventually give up and retreat indoors. Our new

range of glass garden buildings changes all that, giving you the chance to enjoy your garden more frequently, and later into the evening, than you could if you simply sat outside. The notion of a summerhouse is nothing new but what is new is our ability to build them in a range of styles and sizes, using modern, thermally efficient glass.


Company Promotion

Offering panoramic views of your garden, permanence and longevity, a glass summerhouse gives you a more sophisticated environment in which to relax than one made of timber. A glazed structure also provides a number of practical advantages. The cost of timber is constantly rising so, surprisingly, glass is now often comparable in price. A glass/PVCu structure is also stronger, more permanent and far more secure than one made of wood. Nordic Garden Buildings are manufactured by a Welsh company that has been manufacturing products from PVCu for 40 years. Their range of garden buildings was launched in Europe where they have been tested against weather conditions much more extreme than here, and proven to be robust. Each one comes complete with multipoint door and window locks, and a guarantee. And unlike timber structures, they need no annual maintenance. A glass building enables you to spend more time in your garden, whatever the season. With six

Extend the evenings with a glass summerhouse colour options and a choice of glass, brickwork, roofing and flooring there is a model to suit your garden, your taste and your

Created for You! Wide range of sizes, colours, styles, roofing, heating and flooring available

Bring style to your garden with six colour options budget. With careful decoration, inside and out, you can create a unique personal space to sit and read, relax with a drink or share a meal with friends. But how do you go about maintaining a comfortable temperature, all year round? Insulation, automatic air vents, roof vents, windows and air conditioning can all help. Heating can be added via a simple electric fan heater, under floor heating or even a wood burning stove. Installation onto an existing patio or deck is easy and will take our skilled team only one or two days. This means that your garden building is also portable; you won’t even have to part with it if you move house. Our new Nordic Garden Buildings display area is expanding; look out for details of our Open Day this summer. To find out more please visit our Tewkesbury showroom at Red Lane, alongside the river. Our friendly team are available Monday to Friday 8.30am-5pm and Saturday 9am-1pm. We offer complimentary parking and refreshments and promise no high pressure sales.

Grass Snake Swimming taken at Lower Smite Farm, Worcester: Wendy Carter

Ever spotted a snake locally? Wendy Carter of WWT offers some tips .

I Grass Snake Phil Thomas

Grass Snakes Rosemary Winnall

could hardly believe my eyes last summer when I was walking along the Avon near Eckington and saw a grass snake swim across the river. I knew they could swim but hadn’t reckoned on one beating the current and crossing without drifting downstream. Despite being the UK’s largest reptile, these wary speedsters can be difficult to spot. Females grow well over a metre long which makes them easy to separate from the much rarer adders (mainly seen in the north of our county). Grass snakes have a rather obvious greeny-yellow collar around their neck and are olive green with black bars down their flanks (they lack the adder’s distinctive zigzag pattern). Grass snakes are great swimmers – they can stay submerged for up

to 30 minutes - and hunt frogs, toads and fish; they’ll sometimes take small mammals and birds if the mood takes. You may also spot them basking on your compost (or manure) heap; these fabulously warm places are perfect for laying eggs in. In our wildlife garden at Lower Smite Farm last July we were delighted to discover a clutch of eggs. We quickly re-covered them but it was an important lesson in not turning the compost at a critical time of year for snakes! Depending on the temperature, their eggs take around six to eight weeks to hatch. Grass snakes are harmless to humans and will only show aggression if they are cornered. As with all wildlife it’s best to leave them alone and simply admire their speed and agility as they disappear into the distance.

to put together the right team in the right location. Working in tandem with Enterprise Inns, we have invested in the business and are here to stay.

What’s new at The Berkeley?

What’s on the menu?

Since my team arrived in March we’ve renamed the business, enhanced the appearance of the building inside and out, put up new signage, overseen a £45k facelift to the garden and car park, created a fresh new menu and scheduled a calendar of great entertainment in the form of monthly tribute acts for the coming months. We are also organising a Wedding Fayre here on Sunday 28th September.

What experience does your team bring?

The reason we’ve been able to achieve so much so quickly is that myself, my Operations Manager, Emma, and my Head Chef, Dean, are a long established working team. I’ve spent the last 14 years as General Manager of various 3 and 4 Star hotels across the UK, most recently in Sutton Coldfield. I’d been thinking about my own business for a while but needed

Folly Gardens Veterinary Surgeons, clockwise from left Brad, Lizzie, Dev, Meg, Tim & Jo

Pet Talk How To Get a FREE Flea Check Folly Gardens Vets, Tewkesbury and Bishops Cleeve is supporting The Big Flea Guarantee. which enables you to get a FREE flea check for your dog. Vet Jo Mansfield explains more. f you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to need to have your home fumigated, you will be one of the few pet owners who never forgets to apply flea treatment. It’s not a pleasant subject, but fleas breed so quickly that a flea infestation is something that you will always remember. Every summer, as soon as the sun comes out, we see an increase in the number of pets brought in with fleas, ticks and lice. It’s not surprising when you consider that in 21 days one flea can become a thousand; a single female flea can produce up to 1,500 eggs a month and adult fleas can survive on your pet for up to 113 days. With climate change bringing milder, wetter winters and warm, dry summers, it’s harder than ever to keep our pets and homes flea and tick free. Plus, most of us lead such busy lives that remembering exactly when flea treatment is due is easy to overlook. One of the key advantages of joining Folly Gardens Pet Health Plan is that you will receive free, regular flea treatment reminders and the appropriate advice and products. Many people only realise that that their pet may have fleas when they see frantic scratching,

I

itching and licking or worse, find a bite on their own arm or leg. Surveys show that even those of us who are committed to regular flea prevention fail to protect our pets adequately by not using the right treatment or not applying it frequently enough. Scientific advances have brought innovative solutions to the control of parasites but the most effective products can only be prescribed by qualified vets. Options include spot-ons, sprays, collars and tablets with spot-ons typically applied every four weeks and new, chewable tablets only required every 12 weeks. Help is on offer this summer as the team at Folly Gardens clinic is supporting the Big Flea Guarantee.

68th Great Comberton Flower Show Brailes Orchard, Great Comberton, Pershore WR10 3DT 2-5pm Saturday 23rd August 2014

Cups & Prizes for Home Grown Produce! Entry form on website

The Great Comberton Show was first held in 1946 with the objective of helping to purchase the school, now the Village Hall, from the Ministry of Education. Held annually since (with just one cancellation in 1967) this traditional show thrives. In the morning entries for the produce are judged and cups awarded then the fete opens at 2pm. Chair Suzanne Hamilton explains.

T

his year, the 68th Fruit and Flower show will be held in the idyllic setting of Great Comberton’s Brailles Orchard, overlooked by Bredon Hill and our lovely church. The central piece of this traditional show is the historic marquee with classes for wine, fruit, vegetables, art and crafts, cookery and children, all fiercely competed for. There is always some friendly banter about whose marrow is the biggest! Classes are

open to all and it’s great fun to get involved. Surrounding the marquee are a great selection of traditional village and quality crafts stalls plus fun games and activities. These range from our famous egg throwing, plank plodding and novelty dog show to the Google treasure hunt. New this year we also have a friendly Punch and Judy show. If you have a classic car then please bring it and enter it for “the car our judge would

most like to take home”. There will be plenty of refreshments available during the afternoon including village WI teas, a BBQ, ice creams and the friendly bar which is legendary. The end of the afternoon sees the Award of the Cups and auction of prize winning exhibits. We are proud to be one of the longest running village and produce shows, well supported by local families. Please do come along and join us.

T

he Annual Bredon Boat Races will take place on Saturday September 6th from 12noon to 4.30pm. Come along for an afternoon of excitement, adrenalin and fun; watch the racing, take refreshments from the cider or tea tents and have a go at the bottle stall. The kids can play games and try to win a Jolly Jam Jar and there’s no need to worry about food as a barbeque with delicious locally sourced burgers and hot dogs will be on offer.

ROGUE traders

West Mercia police offer their advice.

W

orcestershire Regulatory Services (Trading Standards) and local police officers have been working together across the county clamping down on rogue traders who are targeting local residents. Rogue traders are criminals. They often appear in the guise of professional tradesmen, using printed leaflets and well maintained vehicles to fool consumers. Criminal activities carried out can include fraud, charging high prices for poor workmanship or work that is not even carried out. There are also known links between burglary and rogue trader activity. As this type of crime happens at the homes of consumers, it is often known as doorstep crime. Criminals concerned are known to actively target and seek out vulnerable members of our community. The Worcestershire rogue trader response team attends incidents within the county when it is believed a rogue trader is targeting local residents. Apprehending criminals and disrupting their activities is the objective of the team and acts as a forceful deterrent to criminals, sending out a clear message that we will act and use the legal powers at our disposal. When a contract is agreed in a consumer’s home a written cancellation notice must be provided

detailing a seven day cooling off period. If a cancellation notice is provided a trader cannot start work until the seven days expire, unless written permission is provided by the householder. This cooling off period is designed to allow the consumer breathing space and a chance to change their mind. If these cancellation rights are ignored by the trader an offence will be committed and the trader will not be able to legally make you pay for any work provided. Worcestershire has developed an "early warning" system that alerts residents to rogue trader activity in the county. Information is passed via Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators and parish councils so that residents can be on their guard. The number of recorded incidents involving doorstep crime in Worcestershire is low. This may be because the majority of victims are elderly or vulnerable people who are worried about reporting crime. Some people are also embarrassed that they have been conned or fear reprisals. It is vitally important that all incidents of this type are reported, however insignificant they may seem. If you think rogues are targeting your area then contact Regulatory Services or the Police. Regulatory Services can also provide "no cold calling cards" a card you can display on your door to deter cold callers. If you need tradesmen don’t rely on door to door callers, always get further quotes and use the Worcestershire Trader Register, a register of local tradesmen. Worcestershire Trader Register: 01905 765394 www.worcestershire.gov.uk/traderregister To report an incident contact Regulatory Services via Consumer Direct on 08454 040506 or visit www.worcestershire.gov.uk/tradingstandards If you have any information or concerns you can raise them by contacting your Safer Neighbourhood Team on 101 or dial 999 in an emergency. You can also call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 to report information anonymously.

Counts Where caring really

Volunteer Complementary Therapists are needed to enhance the care offered to patients at St Richard’s Hospice. Moo Barrie, Complementary Therapy Coordinater explains more.

A

relaxing aromatherapy massage or a reflexology treatment can make a big difference to the well-being of patients at St Richard's Hospice but we need more volunteer complementary therapists to meet demand. A team of nine volunteer therapists and two part-time paid staff currently offer a range of treatments including reflexology, Indian head massage, Reiki, Shiatsu, relaxation and visualization techniques, among others. We are hoping to encourage more qualified therapists to come forward and join our team. Patients who attend the Day Hospice, those being cared for in the In-patient Unit (IPU) or who usually see a specialist St Richard's nurse in their own homes, as well as bereaved relatives, come into the Wildwood Drive centre in Worcester for treatments. In March alone the Complementary Therapy team gave 29 treatments to Day Hospice patients, 26 to outpatients, seven to IPU patients, four to carers and saw five new referrals. Patients have often had no

experience of complementary therapies for therapeutic reasons. They might have had a pampering session in a spa but the service we offer is a little different. The treatments are very relaxing and help patients to cope with their illness and body image. They really appreciate the difference it can make to their well-being. Patients are usually offered a course of six treatments and can ask to be re-referred but such is the demand there may be a waiting list. We would love to expand the service even further in the future, but to do so, we need additional complementary therapists to volunteer their help. Volunteer complementary therapists need to be members of their appropriate professional body, be fully insured and have three to five years practical experience. We ask that you commit to work at least one session fortnightly either: 9.30 1.30 / 1.30 - 5.30 / or an evening. In the last year complementary therapists volunteered 923 hours in patient care. Stella Reeve from Hallow started as a volunteer here in 2005 and currently volunteers one morning a week. "I had never worked in this environment before and was very

apprehensive but I quickly realised that I need not have worried! I soon got to know the other volunteer therapists and joined in the regular meetings for information and support. I knew all the benefits of my therapy but I was amazed at the difference it made to the patients. If they're new to aromatherapy and massage, patients are also pleasantly surprised by how much better they feel - not only does it relax them and take their minds off their illness and treatments but it also helps them cope with the side effects afterwards. The patients say it is wonderful to have something to look forward to. Of course, there are benefits for me too as I know that I am doing something so worthwhile. There is a real 'feel good factor' from volunteering and knowing that my skills can make such a difference. It is also so beneficial to be part of the whole team at St Richard's and to have opportunities for my own learning and development as a therapist." Deborah Cook, from Worcester is a qualified reflexologist and has volunteered here for the last ten years. “When faced with a life threatening disease, as a patient, relative or carer, the
