Once your kitchen plans have been designed using the very latest in Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology, we invite customers back to the Howdens Fleetwood Branch to see the plans, and have them presented in the comfort of our newly refurbished Design Studio. Customers are then treated to a full colour 3D virtual tour of their new kitchen whilst sampling the delights of our newly installed Nespresso Magimix Coffee machine. Only when you are fully satisfied that the deisgn is completely to your taste do we progress with your chosen builder or fitter to organise a fitting date.

So fingers crossed we may have some excellent news next month – we are here to stay and help support local business and promote all those events in your own neighbourhood. And did I mention events are free?! Well done to last month’s competition winner: Maureen Rigg. £50 is on its way, and also Ms Byrne of Rossall, too - who is the winner of a free MOT at James Jackson’s Central Garage. Take a look at our brand new website: www.link-mag.co.uk. Get involved with FREE what’s on listings, online directory, competitions, news, online booking, magazines, vouchers and more.

HARPER&PYE Carpets • Curtains
The new shop was where John Harper and Fred Pye first met and worked together 40 years ago. Over the last 29 years since inception, Harper & Pye has built a first class reputation for the supply and installation of quality carpets, curtains and fitted bedrooms. No job is too small or too large. We do a lot of domestic and contract work like the Grand Theatre Blackpool which we have carpeted twice throughout in 1992 and again in 2007.
There is easy parking outside the door and easy access via major bus and tram routes.
We believe we offer you the best prices and service you can achieve. We offer the price promise “if told never undersold” and throughout the year we have seasonal sales with even further discounts. “Why not try us first before you furnish your home”. You won’t be disappointed.
We give you very competitive prices, first class workmanship and a personal service that this family run business can best provide “we care about our name above the door” We are very excited about our new shop which we believe gives you an unrivalled choice of quality carpets and curtains. Choosing new furnishings is made easy with help from experienced staff with free advice on colour schemes.

At the core of growing apples
By Hannah Stephenson
Orchards are hosting apple festivals and events throughout the country this month, where the public can learn more about the different varieties and glean advice on how to grow their favourites. Among those celebrating the harvest is Brogdale Farm in Kent, home of the National Fruit Collection and host to the UK's largest apple festival on October 19 and 20. Brogdale grows a staggering 2,200 varieties, of which more than 500 will be on display. One of the most important things to consider when buying an apple tree for your garden is its rootstock, says Michael Austen, a guide at Brogdale and experienced apple grower. "The first thing is to consider how much room you have and then check what rootstock the young tree is on. If you have a small space go for the dwarfing rootstocks like M9 or M27, while if you have plenty of room you could go for an M25 rootstock." Most suburban situations provide good pollen due to the close proximity of other gardens and it's not always necessary to have pollinators if the bees and other pollinating insects are generous with their visits. There are some self-fertile varieties but others need a plant partner and you need to take heed of pollination groups. If you don't have a neighbouring apple tree, select two varieties in the same group or the adjoining group. For instance, group 2 and 4 will pollinate group 3 as will any others in group 3. "Buy a young tree, between one and two years old. The rootstock number should be marked on the label and if it isn't, don't buy, because the rootstock controls the size of the tree," says Austen. "Any good nursery will tell you what rootstock the tree is on. "Don't go for a tree older than two years because the older the tree, the more risk there is when you plant it. Young trees tend to grow quicker than older ones." Bare-rooted trees should be planted between the end of November and the beginning of March, but avoid planting during frosty weather or when the ground is waterlogged. Pot-grown trees can in theory be planted at any time of year, but in summer it will need well watering and should be treated as if it's still in its pot. If you buy a tree that's been in a container and find that it's potbound when you remove it for planting, tease the roots open before planting it out, or the tree's growth will be stunted. Apple trees like well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny spot, but don't plant them in pure compost, Austen advises. "Don't dig the hole, put the tree in and fill it back up with compost. Mix some compost with the soil you've dug out.
34
If you plant the tree in pure compost it will tend to dry out and the compost might be too strong." If you have good soil, ideally mix some John Innes No 2 or 3 into the soil you've dug out and then fill in the hole, as this will help retain moisture. Of course, young apple trees will need staking, but take care how you do it. "All dwarfing trees will need a stake for the whole of their lives. The more vigorous rootstocks will need to be staked for the first five years and after that the rootstocks should be strong enough to hold the tree up. "Put the stake on the windward side of the tree, so that the wind is blowing the tree away from the stake." If all goes well, you should be harvesting your first fruits in the third year after planting, building up to producing a full crop by the fifth or sixth year, says Austen. Easy trees, which tend to be fairly disease resistant and produce good crops, include Red Falstaff, Red Windsor and Greensleeves, he says, as well as Egremont Russet, which is good for organic growing. There are fears for the future of traditional English apple varieties, which are in decline due to a lack of consumer demand for home-grown varieties. To help reverse the trend, Copella, working with The National Trust, launched a Plant & Protect campaign to raise awareness and encourage gardeners to return the English apple to its former glory. It also teamed up with Thompson & Morgan, which is offering a range of English apple trees for your garden and advice on how to grow them. Full details can be found at www.copellafruitjuices.co.uk For details of Brogdale's Apple Festival, go to www.brogdalecollections.co.uk

GARDENING
Sorbus (Rowan)
This deciduous tree comes into its own in autumn when it bears bunches of bright red berries and its foliage turns rich red or warm yellows. S. aucuparia, the most common variety, is a mediumsized tree which can grow to 15m (50ft) and produces clusters of creamy-white flowers in spring followed by the berries in autumn. Other good varieties include S. commixta, which is a slightly smaller tree with outstanding autumn foliage colour, as the leaves turn shades of vivid red, yellow and purple, and S. sargeniana, a large-leaved, slow-growing variety which takes on brilliant shades of red and orange in autumn, plus scarlet fruits. Sorbus should be planted in the sun or dappled shade in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. They make beautiful specimen trees.

If you're worried about missing the flavours of all those home-grown herbs which you used throughout the summer, there are easy ways to keep stocked through the winter without going to the supermarket. Sow a flowerpot full of basil seed, keeping it on a warm, sunny windowsill until the seedlings appear. Pick the leaves regularly to add to Italian dishes and sow some more in a few weeks' time to keep the supply up. If you've grown mint or parsley outdoors in summer, cut off a clump of it, complete with roots, and plant into a container of compost and keep it on a sunny windowsill to keep the plant going. Alternatively sow a pot or half-tray of parsley seeds every three months and the plants will keep growing all year round. Evergreens such as rosemary and thyme will keep going through the winter months, so just snip a bit off when you need it.
Try to keep the site fully occupied - if there are neglected or vacant plots, encourage friends and neighbours to take them on. That way, a hard-pushed local authority would be less likely to sell it to developers, claiming there is no demand.
2
If your site is not thriving, take a more active role in selfmanagement, sparking enthusiasm so that everyone pulls together and takes pride in the site. Councils offer various levels of independence, but it is in their interest to hand over some of the management as it saves them time and money.

Hugh’s for veg? The TV chef's been cooking up meat-free meals, to prove to himself, and viewers, that veggie cooking is no dull alternative.
Here are three tasty recipes from Fearnley-Whittingstall's veggie kitchen... (Serves 2) ingredients 750ml vegetable stock 50g pearled spelt (or pearl barley) A few leaves of cabbage, kale or greens, or a couple of handfuls of spinach, washed 1 medium carrot, peeled and diced 100g frozen peas or petits pois 400g tin cannellini or other white beans, drained and rinsed Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Extra virgin olive oil, to finish Bring the stock to the boil in a saucepan. Add the spelt (or barley), reduce the heat and simmer until almost tender, (this should take about 15 minutes, or a bit longer for barley). Meanwhile, remove any tough stalks or ribs from the greens or spinach and shred the leaves roughly. Add the carrot, peas and tinned beans to the broth. Once it returns to a simmer, add the greens or spinach and cook for a further two to three minutes, until just tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then ladle into bowls.

FOOD (Serves 2) 1 large or 2 small oranges ¼ small red cabbage, core removed, finely shredded 1 small-medium parsnip, peeled and coarsely grated 2tbsp extra virgin olive oil 2 dates, stones removed, sliced A couple of sprigs of thyme, leaves only, chopped Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Slice the top and bottom from the orange. Stand it upright on a board and work your way around it with a sharp knife, cutting off the skin and all the pith. Cut out the segments from between the membranes, working over a bowl to save the juice, letting the segments fall into the bowl. When you've finished, squeeze the juice from the remaining membrane into the bowl too. Put the finely shredded cabbage and grated parsnip into another bowl, add most of the orange juice (not the segments yet) and trickle over the olive oil. Add a little salt and pepper, toss the lot together with your hands, then transfer to serving plates. Scatter the orange segments and date slices over the red cabbage and parsnip, then finish with a scattering of thyme. Serve straight away.

Put into a saucepan, cover with water, add salt and bring to the boil. Simmer for eight to 12 minutes, until tender. Drain. (You can use leftover cooked potatoes for this dish too.) Wash the spinach thoroughly, then pack it, with just the water that clings to it, into a saucepan. Cover and put over a medium heat until the spinach has wilted in its own liquid - just a few minutes.

Hugh's veggie cooking tips...
Put three or four different veggie dishes on the table, so none are dominant. They'll get passed around, shared and you'll discover a new approach to eating. Have a reasonable store cupboard of pulses. Popping open a tin of chickpeas can turn a simple dish into a hearty meal.
with your hands. Chop the spinach roughly. Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently sweat the onion for 10 minutes or so, until soft. Add the garlic, chilli, ginger and garam masala. Cook for a couple of minutes more, then thickly slice the potatoes into the pan. Cook for a couple of minutes before adding the chopped spinach and cook briefly to warm through. The dish is lovely like this, or you can make it a little richer and more luxurious by stirring in the double cream or coconut cream with the spinach. Either way, season with salt and pepper, and serve.
Cumin, coriander, caraway and fennel seeds are actually still alive, just dormant. You could sow them in your garden! Grind them to release their aromatics, rather than buying pre-ground spices.

FIRST DRIVE
RANGE ROVER SPORT W
hen a car is labelled 'Sport' it's no longer the case that's it's all about performance and the new engines not only boast substantial increases in power and torque but also lower emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Changes to the chassis include Active Damping and a full Brembo brake system that does a great job of bringing the burly Range Rover to a quick stop. Taking all that was good about the mighty Range Rover and, through the work of the designers, presenting a slightly more youthful appearance, it sought to tempt buyers away from rival offerings that were perceived to be more contemporary in looks and image. And highlighting the youthful angle is appropriate considering Land Rover has updated its junior Range Rover. It's also appropriate that the car's visual appearance has changed slightly. Call it a nip and tuck if you like, the Sport's nose has been softened. Gone is the stark radiator grille, in its place a more cohesive nose and bumper arrangement. The Front
and rear lights are now LED - with a smoked-effect finish at the back and subtle daytime running lights. These details all amount to a sleeker, less fussy and more sophisticated 'look', and one that does much to help promote Land Rover's desire to be viewed as a smart, fashionable brand. The changes continue inside, with the focus very much on improving the car's premium ambience. Gone is the dark plastic centre console, in its place a soft touch, colour coordinated central fascia. There's upgraded leather on the seats, soft-touch textiles and the array of electronic equipment including the adoption of a TFT colour screen. Other new toys include five cameras to assist with parking which provide a 360-degree view of the car when reversing. There's also a system that detects oncoming cars and dips the headlights for you. There's a clever multimedia system with screens for back seat passengers and there are heated and cooled seats all round.

MOTORING Indeed, the Sport's cabin is now on a par with that of a conventional executive saloon. It's certainly spacious enough, while the Sport's trump card - lofty driving position - will likely be a deal-clincher for some. Of course, one pretty important reason to get the Sport over any conventional saloon is the car's allweather and all-terrain ability. For some the latter will rarely be exploited, yet the underlying ability is nothing short of breath-taking. It's helped in no small way by the Sport's engine line -up. Predictably diesel dominates here, and while the beefy Supercharged petrol V8 is now faster and more powerful (and cleaner, too) it's the new TDV6 motor that's destined to grab all the headlines. The flagship TDV8 might offer lots of power and torque, but the TDV6 delivers an experience that might be close enough for some. Punchy when it comes to overtaking and powering out of corners yet quiet on the motorway, this new TDV6 puts the 'lesser' diesel Sport back on the map. Of course all this power makes off-roading a breeze. The smooth auto gearbox makes life inching over obstacles easy enough for novices to feel confident, while the various electronic aids help take your mind of the complicated stuff and allows you to concentrate on the muddy track ahead. Land Rover's now familiar Terrain Response system really does make off-roading a doddle. Simply dial up the terrain - mud, snow, sand etc - and transmission, differential and suspension settings are taken care of and adjusted when necessary. It's no wonder the car is popular when off-roading is made this civilised.
46
And that's certainly a good way to sum up the Range Rover Sport: civilised. With the premium ambience ratcheted up a few more notches and the car's already peerless offroading given a further polish, you don't need to look anywhere else as nothing comes close.
FACTS AT A GLANCE: Model:
Range Rover Sport 3.0 LR-TD V6, from ÂŁ55,145 on the road. Engine: 3.0-litre turbo diesel unit developing 245bhp. Transmission: 6-speed automatic transmission as standard, driving all four wheels. Performance: Maximum speed 120mph, 0-60mph 8.8 seconds. Economy: 30.7mpg.CO2 Rating: 243g/km.

MODERN LIFE SILLS
Goal Setting
By Liggy Webb - www.liggywebb.com
SETTING GOALS IS A GREAT WAY TO KEEP OURSELVES MOTIVATED AND HAVING SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO CAN HELP YOU TO FEEL MORE INSPIRED AND POSITIVE.
T
hese goals do not have to be huge scary milestones that we set ourselves. In fact it is very important that when we set ourselves goals that whilst we may want to stretch ourselves we ensure that they are achievable. Goals unlock your positive mind and release energies and ideas for success and achievement. Without goals, you simply drift and flow on the currents of life. With goals, you fly like an arrow, straight and true to your target. Setting goals will give you direction, purpose and a focus in your life. It also helps you to take more control over what happens to you.
There are lots of benefits to setting goals. First and foremost, they help you to develop clarity which is the first step to helping you achieve what you want in life. If you have clear goals and focus on them, you will get more of what you do and want and less of what you don’t want. When you are clear about where you want to go, you can set up a plan with some steps and actions of how to get there. This increases your efficiency because you are working on what is really important.
Goal Setting -
Six Steps to Success Positively embrace the benefits of goal setting Be clear about why you are trying to achieve something Use the SMART formula Set goals that you are committed to Ensure that you record your personal action plan Share your plan with someone else If it is important to you – Stick with it!
“Setting goals will give you direction, purpose, and a focus in your life. “ 50

Dying is certainty of life, but it still remains a subject which some feel difficult to talk about. It means that, more often than not, funeral arrangements aren’t discussed or made in advance.

Paul Galley ‘Diary of a local Councillor’ Paul Galley is a Councillor for Anchorsholme in Blackpool and each month he writes a weekly diary of what he has been up to. Monday: As it was a Bank Holiday, I spent the morning with my family and in the afternoon had a very practical day going through lots of emails and reporting the different issues to the council that had come through since Friday. Tuesday: This afternoon I attended a fantastic meeting with a representative of a company who will help us get some new play equipment in Eastpines Park. I was very impressed with him because he was an ex Park’s manager in Chorley and really understood what makes a good Park work. I was also impressed that all of the play equipment his firm sells is made in Britain and from a funding perspective I was delighted that he will help us directly with the funding bids. I’ve asked him to draw up detailed plans, then I’ll meet with different members of our community to organise the funding bids as the sort of money we are looking at is huge at around the £100,000 mark and it will involve delivering the project in phases 1 to 3 as we get all of the money we need. I’ll keep you posted in the months to come as soon as I’ve got the plans but I’m really excited about it. Wednesday: Today I returned to my bingo calling after the summer break. It was great seeing every one. The members and helpers are such a great group of people and it’s a pleasure to go and call the bingo. In the afternoon I received two telephone calls about bins not being emptied along the Anchorsholme promenade. I contacted the council and managed to have them emptied fairly rapidly. It’s very important to give visitors to Anchorsholme the right impression and overflowing bins looks horrible. If you see any bins that are not emptied please call me on 826679 Thursday: Today was a very busy day, in the morning I met up with the Council re our planned first aid courses. I’ve mentioned previously about the external defibrillator
62
which we have now ordered and will be installed in the next couple of months. In order for the defibrillator to work we want as many local people as possible to have some first aid training and I’ll be learning with you as we do it. It looks like the first aid courses will be on Saturday mornings at Anchorsholme Library. I can confirm all of the training will be free and is going to be provided by the North West Ambulance Service, as soon as I’ve got some dates I’ll let you know. I’ll post some information out, put the information on our notice boards in our two parks about those dates but just in case if you would like to register an interest in attending please let me know by emailing me on cllr.paul.galley@ blackpool.gov.uk or call me on 826679. In the evening I attended a tenants meeting at Sevenoaks Community Centre. I love these meetings, as everyone is so friendly. During this meeting the issue of dog fouling in the area was discussed and we had the dog warden attend. Fortunately the vast majority of dog owners are great and pick up their dog mess but are let down by a tiny minority who sadly just don’t seem to care. As a result of the meeting I’m now pushing the council really hard to increase the number of prosecutions against those responsible for not picking up. Friday: Today I attended a meeting with a resident about the poor state of the road on Rockville Avenue. The council keep saying it doesn’t need repairing when it clearly does so I’m working with all of the local people to push the council to come down and see it for themselves, I won’t rest until I’ve got this road fully repaired as the residents deserve the best and are not getting it at the moment as regards this road. Many thanks Paul Galley Cllr for Anchorsholme
