Protect Your Family’s TOWER Against AUDIO Inheritance Care Home Fees The Hi-Fi & Home Cinema Specialists

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.

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.

Jekyll’s Fierce Panda Release

J

ekyll are four alt.rock kids from Blackpool, England. They consist of Joel Foster (vocals/ guitar), Lewis Armistead (bass), Liam Singleton (drums) and Mike Spence (guitar). The scowlingly sultry ‘Plan A’ is their first single on esteemed indie record label Fierce Panda, and is taken from their recently released ‘Jekyll’ EP. It’s a fruitily powerful sound, too: recorded at Sugar House Studios (Pale Waves, Viola Beach), Plan A is more becalmed than some of their other Jekyll songs with it’s gently lunging guitars and fragrant falsetto, but you can still smell the frustration, as you may or may not expect from a band known for its melancholic soundscapes, dynamic mood shifts and visceral intensity. ‘Plan A’ is about feeling stagnant and directionless in your life and not knowing how to fix it,’ muse Jekyll. ‘It’s about being faced with an impossible dilemma (having two Plan As) and being torn apart by it. The song is about indecision.’ Ironically enough there was no indecision on the part of Fierce Panda who saw Jekyll play not once but twice at The Great Escape Festival (they stood in exactly the same spot during both sets to psych them out. Frankly, they didn’t even notice), and were so smitten by a complex sound likened to grown-ups running from Radiohead to Editors they did the deal there and then by the sea. Barely a fortnight later the Jekyll release plans were being laid bare: hot on the heels of ‘Plan A’ the ‘Jekyll’ EP features

select previous releases including ‘Wounds’, which opened up various excellent doors to them from BBC Introducing Lancashire to East Street Tap in Brighton. Along the way there have been festival appearances at Sheffield’s Tramlines, Liverpool’s Threshold, South Yorkshire’s Blackfest, Manchester’s Sonder Fest, Lancaster Music Festival, The International Pop Overthrow Festival and Blackpool’s Rebellion Punk Fest, as well as support slots with Vukovi, October Drift, Racing Glaciers, Demob Happy, The Membranes, Glass Caves and The Tapestry. The ‘Jekyll’ EP is also the first release as part of the Second Fierce Panda EP Club wherein six new bands will each release an EP over the course of the next year. The Jekyll EP is out on all streaming and digital services nownow. Find out more about Jekyll and get their music at www.jekyllofficial.co.uk or www.fiercepanda.co.uk

A Suffragette City

A

lthough the theme for this year’s Gala was Disney, Pilling Lane Women’s Institute entered the Gala as Suffragettes, which fitted in with the scene from Mary Poppins and the chorus from the Suffragettes. Fourteen members dressed up in Edwardian outfits and decorated hats with the green, purple and white colours of the Suffragettes, and very prominently wore ‘Votes for Women’ sashes, three of the ladies are in their eighties, a mean feat for these ladies as the route was over three miles long and took two hours. As To the best of their knowledge Pilling Lane WI have never entered the Gala and it was their 84th birthday this year, although they had helped serving teas and more at previous years events. The WI were absolutely ecstatic to win two 1st prizes and be awarded the new ‘Vivienne Taylor Memorial Cup’, the first prizes were

Penny Drabble, Janette Prior, Marie Marshall, Janet Astley, Chris White, Anne Bewes, Eva Cocker, Anne Ingham and Anita Jackson, behind are Barbara Lancashire, Carol Molyneux, Joan Haworth, Barbara Kay and June Beesely

for Best Adult Fancy Dress and Overall Best Adult Fancy Dress, the trophy was for the Overall category, they could not believe it and were are so proud to have done it. They can’t stop talking about it! Achieving this has given the WI a real boost, watch this space for next year. For further information on Pilling Lane WI please contact Gaynor 01253 702980 or e.mail gaynor2386@ hotmail.com

Wyre-d open space

D

iscover Wyre during this year’s Heritage Open Days, this year in Wyre we have a number of walks, talks and tours and the chance to go inside some of our beautiful buildings. This year, there’s lots to enjoy in Wyre during Heritage Open Days. From guided walks to unique tours and activities, you can explore some of the borough’s most historical and iconic buildings and beautiful open spaces. Every year in September, places across the country throw open their doors to celebrate their heritage, community and history. It’s your chance to see hidden places and try out new experiences – and it’s all free! Wyre Council is taking part in the occasion from Thursday 13th to Sunday 16th September by hosting a range of events and activities for all ages to enjoy. Highlights include tours of historic locations such at The Mount, Marine Hall, Rossall Point Tower, Marsh Mill, the Civic Centre, The Lower Lighthouse, Euston Park Gardens and Garstang Quaker Meeting House. 30

There are also guided walks around Garstang, Poulton, Fleetwood Cemetery, Memorial Park, Skippool, Bleasdale and Rossall Point. Councillor Lynne Bowen, Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Health and Community Engagement at Wyre Council comments, “Heritage Open Days is a really special time as it gives people the opportunity to learn more about the history of where we live. We may pass these buildings regularly but not have the opportunity to actually go inside. We are lucky to have lots of historical venues, parks and towns here in Wyre and I’d encourage everyone to discover something new about the wonderful borough that live in.” Please note opening dates and times vary for each venue and event. For full details take a look at our Heritage Open Day guide available at www.wyre.gov. uk/heritageopendays

Written by Peter Whelan ‘The Accrington Pals’ follows the story of the innocent and enthusiastic men who volunteered their services to their country after Kitchener’s calls for a New Army. Their experiences of life on the Western Front are contrasted with the women who are left behind in Accrington, women who

come together as friends when facing financial, social and sexual deprivation, as well as being thrown into the social changes that came along with the absence of many men. The play has fun and light-hearted moments, which are starkly contrasted with the terrifying reality hundreds of men faced at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.

Be a lottery Winn-yre

yre Council is considering the introduction of a local lottery and is inviting both good causes who could benefit, as well as local residents to have their say on the scheme. It is proposed that tickets will cost £1 and players will have the chance to win up to £25,000 in every weekly draw. Each ticket would consist of six numbers which players can choose, or they can opt for a lucky dip. Money raised through the sale of lottery tickets would then be used to support local charities and community groups. Anyone will be able to play, not just Wyre residents, however players can be assured that the proceeds will benefit causes within the district. Local charities and community groups will be able to register themselves with the lottery scheme and players can choose to select a specific good cause if they wish. Councillor David Henderson, Leader of Wyre Council comments, “Creating a lottery scheme such as this would allow us to bolster support for good causes and help to continue the good work being delivered in the borough through the not for profit and voluntary and community sector. The

proposal is that 60% of proceeds will be given to good causes. This compares to approximately 28% of every £1 spent on a UK National Lottery ticket. None of the proceeds will be kept by the council. “I would invite all groups that stand to benefit from the scheme to take a few minutes to complete our consultation so that we can get a clear picture of what groups are out there and just how many local organisations stand to benefit from the money the lottery could raise.” Wyre Council would like to hear from local charities, community groups, friends groups, parent/teacher groups, youth clubs, town councils and sports groups who could potentially benefit from the lottery, as well as local residents from a players perspective. To have your say on the proposed lottery visit www. wyre.gov.uk/peopleslottery before 16 September 2018.

Best of the bunch - Liriope

Better known as lilyturf, this lateflowering evergreen looks a bit like a giant grape hyacinth, with its narrow, strap-shaped evergreen leaves and spikes of knobbly lilac flowers which bloom from September to November. It makes good ground-cover under shrubs or can be used as edging in the herbaceous border, but it is invasive so watch where you plant it and limit its spread by lifting and dividing the clumps every few years. The most common type is L muscari, which grows to around 30cm. Most varieties are mauve or violet, but you can get the white variety ‘Monroe White’ and another with gold-splashed leaves, ‘John Burch’. The plants will thrive in sun or light shade in any lime-free garden soil.

Good enough to eat - Peaches

To get any sort of crop, you really need to grow peaches in the warmest conditions you can, against a south-facing wall that will retain the heat by day and release it at night. Have a go at fan-training your tree in an enclosed area that will shelter the plant from strong winds. Peach trees need to be planted in rich, fertile, well-drained soil with plenty of added organic matter. You’ll need to prepare the soil carefully at the base of the wall and, if fan-training, supply regular support with stout canes attached to the wall in a fan shape, one for each branch of the tree. In spring and summer, the branches will produce sideshoots from which the fruit will grow, so don’t touch those. Don’t expect any fruit from a newly-planted tree until its second or third summer. Tie the branches in regularly to their supports as they grow. In spring, give the tree a good mulch and in late April feed it with general purpose fertiliser. Keep it well-watered immediately after planting, until established, and continue to water it well in dry spells, particularly when it’s carrying fruit.

What to do this month • Create a new compost heap or invest in a compost bin to house all that autumn debris.

• Scarify and aerate established lawns

to reduce compaction and top dress with a mixture of sieved garden soil and sharp sand.

• Continue to thin out aquatic plants,

leaving them by the side of the pond for a few days to allow any wildlife to escape.

• Relocate evergreen shrubs while the soil is still relatively warm.

• Stop feeding shrubs and trees in containers, as new soft growth is likely to be damaged in winter.

• Cut down and divide perennials including sedums, hostas and phlox.

• Pot up prepared hyacinths and narcissi for flowers at Christmas.

• Continue to plant narcissi but leave tulips until October.

• Sow

hardy annuals including cornflowers, poached-egg plants and poppies outside now for flowering next year.

• Harvest the last marrows and courgettes and lift maincrop potatoes.

Good varieties of peach include ‘Peregrine’, which ripens from mid to late August, and ‘Rochester’.

• Dig over heavy clay soil before the

• Sow parsley and chervil for use in late winter and early spring.

• Pick apples and pears as they ripen.
