Protect Your Family’s Inheritance Against Care Home Fees We spend our working lives providing for our families, paying taxes and saving for retirement. Many of us fear that our children’s inheritance will be lost to pay for Care Home fees in later life. The 7 Year Myth Some people believe that transferring their home into their children’s names prevents the Local Authority from including the property in their assessment for care fees if the gift was made more than 7 years ago. THIS IS A MYTH. The so-called “7 year rule” does not apply to Local Authority means tests for care fees. Property Protection Trust Wills

Get recycling in the garden By Hannah Stephenson
S
econd-hand shops, reclamation yards and even car boot sales can provide an Aladdin’s cave of unusual containers and statues, chimney pots which can be upended to house colourful plants, quirky garden seating and ornaments. Old railway platform seats and seating from boats have been put to use in the past, while DIY enthusiasts have constructed seats featuring little more than a short piece of scaffolding plank resting on two neat piles of old bricks. Funky benches have been made using old tyres at either end supporting seats of painted scaffolding planks. If you live near the sea, explore the beach to search for large pieces of driftwood, or shells out of which you could make a feature mosaic to hang on your house wall. Mosaics and patterns can also be made out of pebbles or broken coloured tiles arranged Roman style. Fallen logs can be used to edge paths, while those on a budget may be more inclined to go for local gravel. Eye-catching containers can be made out of anything you may otherwise dump, from old food cans painted with brightly coloured weather-resistant paint, to sinks which can house a myriad of rock plants, and teapots, mugs and rusty buckets with holes drilled in the bottom which can be planted up and strategically placed to brighten up the scene. 16
Old wicker baskets can also make good plant pots, stained, varnished and lined with black plastic, while broken pots can be used for a display of rock plants such as sempervivums, surrounded by broken bits of pot. Wine aficionados who are lucky enough to have had their wine delivered in wooden boxes with lovely embossed logos should consider growing salad crops in them. See if your local wine merchant might have any boxes spare and preserve the wood with Danish oil to weatherproof it as well as drilling holes in the base for drainage. Port boxes can also act as good containers. You can also grow crops in old drawers, weatherproofing the wood first and then drilling holes for drainage and lining the drawers with plastic. You may also have to add corner braces to the drawers to stop the wood from warping, but they will make eye-catching veg containers. Use your own home-grown stems of bamboo, when the canes are green and flexible, or red dogwood, to cut and weave into plant supports. If you want to create an arch which will be smothered in flowering plants, but don’t want to spend a fortune, you can do it cheaply by bending old lengths of metal pipe or builders’ reinforcing bars, which will all be hidden by the climbers.

LINK-Mag Gardening Good Enough to Eat - Spinach
Best of the bunch - Peony
Well-known for their huge blooms in late spring and early summer, these blousy perennials will add a romantic, feminine touch to any border. They take a couple of seasons to settle down and produce flowers, hate being moved and prefer an open sunny spot, sheltered from cold winds - but the reward is a vast array of large blooms in colours from cream to deep red. The common peony, P. officinalis, is a cottage garden favourite, growing 60cm (2ft) high and producing 12cm (5in) blooms in a variety of shades, flowering in May and June. The most popular are P. lactiflora, which flower in June. Good scented varieties include ‘Duchesse de Nemours’ or ‘Sarah Bernhardt’. For big, bold flowers, go for ‘Bowl of Beauty’, which produces pink flowers with a cream centre. Others to watch out for include ‘Peter Brand’, which produces deep red blooms and whose foliage turns red in autumn, contrasting well with ornamental grasses and bearded irises. Peonies need mulching in spring, staking and feeding with a general fertiliser in late summer. The stems should be cut down to ground level in autumn.
Three Ways to... Start with edibles in small spaces
Spinach is one of those vegetables that years ago picked up a bad reputation for being bitter, overcooked and generally disliked by children. However, in recent years, as spinach has been wilted rather then boiled to death, or eaten raw in salads, its image has undergone a facelift. The earliest sowings of spinach should now be ready for cutting, although it’s worth sowing more seed throughout May for a continuous crop. Pick leaves when they are 5-10cm for eating raw in salads, but let them grow bigger if you want them for cooking. If you have sown spinach in seed drills during March or April, you’ll need to water it in June or July. Give the soil a good soaking once a week to stop it bolting, and then keep picking over it regularly.
What to do this month • Sow seeds of biennial flowers like
honesty and Canterbury bells, which can be transplanted to their flowering position later on in the year.
•
Raise new plants of deciduous azaleas, magnolias and other shrubs by layering low-growing shoots of young growth to soil level.
•
Continue tying flower spikes to canes on tallgrowing perennials like delphiniums.
•
Pinch out the shoot tips of fuchsias in the greenhouse to encourage branching.
•
Dig out individual lawn weeds by hand.
•
Keep potting on cuttings of chrysanthemums into larger pots in the greenhouse, as their roots grow.
•
Apply long-lasting weedkiller to gravel paths and drives.
•
Remove green algae from ponds by twisting it onto a stick or rake, adding it to the compost heap.
•
Thin gooseberries using the crop for cooking. Remove every alternate fruit along stems, leaving more room for the remaining ones to develop.
1.
To get a regular crop of your favourite salad, sow small amounts two or three weeks apart.
2.
Start some vegetables off in small trays or modules on a well-lit porch or kitchen windowsill.
•
Hang pheromone traps in apple trees to attract and catch the male codling moth.
3.
3. Add seaweed concentrate to your watering can for better yields and disease-resistant plants.
•
Cover fruit cages with netting, or drape it over strawberries to keep birds off developing fruits.

JAGUAR XE Portfolio AWD by Rob Auchterlonie
J
aguar’s junior executive offering has been attracting plenty plaudits since its launch in 2015. And it’s not hard to see why.
For too long the Germans have held sway in the battle for sales in the premium sector. And rightly so. You can’t argue against the quality of the cars Audi, Mercedes and BMW line up for your approval. But they’ve got a bit of opposition from the British built XE, a car flying the UK flag with a bit more aplomb than the unlamented X-Type, which wasn’t much more than a Mondeo in a different coat which pretty soon went out of fashion. In profile it almost has the looks of a coupe, a very neat coupe, but of course it’s not. And there aren’t 20
many coupes I can think of that will carry five adults in leather cosseted luxury. One of its biggest plus points is the superb driving position. Knowing how many packaging hurdles designers have to negotiate, I can hardly believe how tailored it is: perfect seat shape and position, ideal control layout and instrument view. Maybe the chocolate brown leather interior might not be to everyone’s liking but it gives you a different choice from the more mainstream black/grey/ivory leather on offer on most option lists. It’s a car that’ll be on the radar for anyone holding down a decent job, and it’s available with a choice of engines that makes the XE fairly cost effective to run.

FASTFACTS:
Jaguar XE Portfolio AWD; £40,775; 1999cc four cylinder twin turbo diesel, 240ps, 240Nm; eight speed automatic; top speed 155mph, 0-60mph 6.7secs; fuel – urban 34.5, extra urban 54.3, combined 45.1; CO2 144g/km.
I love the way the dash cuts into the doors, so the air from the side vents sweeps round and into the cabin. It also warms up the door handles nicely on cold days. The boot looks a decent size, and actually is, but the bootlid isn’t that big because of the downward
sweep of the rear window, so loading it up requires some precision. And opening the rear doors calls for a bit of care due to the way the door edge sweeps back into the C pillar. The interior – and indeed the exterior - exudes class, and they used to say you can’t buy that. Well let me tell you that you can. It’ll cost you £41,000. To an extent, we’ve been down this road before, with the X-Type, which had similar hopes pinned on it for sales success. But XE seems to be bucking that earlier trend. Jaguar have come up with something capable of taking on the seried ranks of Johnny Bosch. FOR: classy looks, a genuine alternative to the 3 series and A4. AGAINST: doesn’t sound like a Jaguar should

The body shell feels stiff, the engine operates smoothly enough and what they call acoustic management (sound deadening to you and me) is pretty good considering it’s a diesel under the bonnet which dishes up progress that is reasonably swift. It just doesn’t make Jaguar-like noises. There’s a choice of drive modes, which also alters the display ahead of you, and opting for dynamic can make the XE a bit quicker to react when you’re trying to get onto a busy roundabout or into traffic from a side road.

ink Rabbit Events presents Sonars and Oceans Over Alderaan playing live at Bootleg Social Club on Sat 19th May at 9pm

lackpool & Fylde Light Opera Company present The Tony and Olivier award-winning Me and My Girl, a musical with music by Noel Gay and its original book and lyrics by Douglas Furber and L. Arthur Rose. The musical is set in the glittering 1930s and tells the story of an unapologetically unrefined cockney gentleman named Bill Snibson, who learns that he is the 14th heir to the Earl of Hareford. Bill must choose between fitting in with proper society or losing his girl, fishmonger’s assistant Sally Smith.
It’s a girl thing
Me and My Girl had a successful original run in the West End in 1937, and was turned into a film in 1939, titled The Lambeth Walk, named after one of the show’s songs. The show includes classic favorites such as the song The Sun Has Got His Hat On, Leaning On A Lamppost and The Lambeth Walk.
Me And My Girl will play Wednesday 30th May 2018 to Saturday 1st June 2018 every evening at 7.30pm with matinee performances on Thursday and Saturday. Tickets start from £18 with child, concession and family tickets available.
Blackpool & Fylde Light Opera Company have presented such hits as, Hairspray, Legally Blonde, Grease, and 9 To 5 at Blackpool’s premier theatre and have received incredible reviews and awards for their productions.

It takes place on 13th May running from 11am to 4pm. There are prizes to be won including meals out amongst other things. Kids Sandcastle Competition and a host of other activities including an Operations Room visit. The Rossall Point station was opened in 2008 in the old Coast Guard station.

The facility provides a superb lookout across Morecombe Bay, the Lune Deep channel and the approaches to Fleetwood, Glasson and Heysham. The National Coastwatch Institution (NCI) is an entirely voluntary organisation keeping a visual watch along UK shores. Each station assists in the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) and the safety of people using the beach and foreshore around the UK coastline. The Coastwatch receives no funding from central or local government and relies on the goodwill of local people and businesses. They are also asking for people to sponsor a Watchkeeper, the options are £5 for 6 months or £10 for 12 months. Sponsors get a badge, certificate and great karma for the months ahead.

LINK-Mag Recipe
Go veggie National Vegetarian Week (Monday 14th – Sunday 20th May) is an annual awareness week aiming to show people how tasty and nutritious a vegetarian diet can be. Celebrate this week of meat-free eating with this delicious mushroom burger recipe.
Serves: 2 Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 15 minutes ............................................................. You’ll need 2 large Portobello mushrooms 8 shallots, peeled and quartered 4 tbsp vegetarian pesto, plus a little extra 1 tsp olive oil ½ tsp sugar 85g round soft goats’ cheese 2 ciabatta rolls ............................................................. What to do Pre heat oven 200c/180c fan/gas mark 6. Remove the stalks from the mushrooms and chop them very finely. Finely chop one of the shallots and mix it, and the chopped mushroom stalks, into the pesto. Place the whole mushrooms gill side up on an oiled baking tray, fill with the pesto mix and
cook for approximately 15 minutes until softened. Whilst they are cooking place the shallots in a pan with the olive oil and sugar, cook over a low heat until softened and lightly caramelised. Top the mushrooms with the goats’ cheese and return to the oven alongside the ciabatta for a few minutes until the cheese is beginning to melt and the bread is warmed through. Serve in the split ciabatta topped with the shallots and an extra drizzle of pesto. COOK’S TIP: The goats’ cheese can be replaced with gruyere or any other easy to melt cheese. Serve with a rocket and watercress salad tossed in a little lemon juice and olive oil. www.ukshallot.com

DSA has launched a campaign urging smokers to stop lighting up around their pets - as it warned the toxic fumes could kill or harm them. The negative effects of secondhand smoke on humans are well known, but the impact passive smoking can have on our pets is something that smokers often underestimate, or might not consider at all. Studies show that animals who are exposed to smoke are at a higher risk of developing respiratory disease and some cancers. It can also make existing lung conditions, such as asthma, much worse. PDSA Vet Olivia AndersonNathan, said: ‘Many pet owners are unaware of the risks that smoking around their pets can have on their health. If they knew
I’m sure they would want to take measures to protect them.’ She continued that ‘Recent scientific studies have found that family pets can be affected by passive smoking. Vets regularly see the devastating impact smoking can have on pets, from respiratory problems like asthma and chronic coughing through to more serious conditions such as cancers like lymphoma, which in cats is twice as likely if they have exposure to cigarette smoke. Thanks to funding from players of People’s Postcode Lottery we’ve launched a campaign to tackle this issue. We want pet owners to realise that if they smoke, their pets smoke too.’ Passive smoking in dogs is linked to the onset of breathing problems and there are links between breathing in passive smoke and
difficult-to-treat nasal and sinus cancers in longer nosed breeds, and lung cancer in other breeds. In cats, their grooming habits mean that once smoke lands on their fur, they can swallow the harmful chemicals through licking. Cigarette smoke can also be harmful to pet birds and small pets (such as guinea pigs and rats) as they have sensitive respiratory systems. Pet owners can reduce the risk to their pets by smoking outside, away from their pets — or even better, by stopping smoking altogether. PDSA is the UK’s leading vet charity. On a mission to improve pet well-being through prevention, education and treatment. For more information and pet health advice visit www.pdsa.org.uk
