Welcome to your Thornton Cleveleys Magazine... 2016 has arrived, Happy New Year! We hope you’ve had a great break and are raring to go this year… We’ve made some changes to the magazines to bring a fresh new look, and enhanced some areas - especially our What’s On pages and Business Directory. These are more detailed, and specifically tailored to make it easier to find what you’re looking for. Also new for 2016 is our BRAND NEW WEBSITE complete with ONLINE BOOKING SYSTEM. Lots more features are to be added, including additional social media pages dedicated to each area, and new email updates for our readers. We’re also happy to announce our new Vegan Print business, offering very competitive ethical printing to businesses across the Fylde Coast and beyond. You can find out more at www.veganprint. co.uk And finally - our What’s On pages will remain free for non-business local events, but we are now taking paid listings for events that run as a business, to include all local events. We hope you like the changes we’ve made to your local magazine, and all the team would like to wish you a fantastic 2016.

Blindingly Good Service
Steve Wear Blinds of Thornton is a father and daughter family business. Between them they manufacture roller and vertical blinds and supply venetian, pleated and roman blinds. Steve has been in the blind industry for twenty years now, specialising in pleated blinds for Europe’s largest conservatory blind company, before opening his first shop in Kent. After Kent he moved back to the North West where he was the founder of ‘Simply Blinds’ and ‘The Blind Company’ and is now working alongside his daughter Vanessa in Thornton. Steve says; ‘As a local manufacturer we like to think our customer service is paramount to our success along with our very competitive prices and massive fabric choice. It gives us the confidence to provide a quality product.’ He continued ‘Our showroom is a friendly place to come along and discuss your blind requirements and see for yourself how we manufacture from them from start to finish. I have loved this industry from day one and having my daughter Vanessa work alongside
me is the best thing to happen to both myself and the business, her knowledge and the way she is with customers is terrific and having grown up with blinds all of her life she realises the importance of attention to detail and service.’ He added: ‘I think the fact that we care is a crucial part of our business, plus we never take a deposit until your blinds are installed and the customer is happy. We always welcome any enquiry either by phone or to visit our showroom where a friendly and professional welcome awaits.’

Booths surplus food provides good cheer all year round
B
ooths has been thanked for its generosity after the well-known family firm has agreed to support the Blackpool Food Partnership all year round. It’s now donating surplus bread, veg and fruit to the award winning Partnership which co-ordinates and delivers food three times a week to charities, hostels, children’s centres, luncheon clubs and community kitchens across Blackpool, enabling thousands more people to receive help and develop community spirit.
Poulton Stores for the Partnership, along with leaflets explaining the type of food needed. “To be able to do something kind and practical with our food waste means a great deal to Booths, and it’s both reassuring to know we’ve been able to help so many people locally,” explained Colin Porter from the company. Nikki is pictured with Sue Oldroyd who runs the Foodbank at Springfield Methodist Church, Bispham.
Nikki Hart, project manager from Methodist Action NW which runs the Partnership said: “The best use of surplus food isn’t a bin, it’s a belly. “Blackpool Food Partnership is now distributing £57,000 a year of surplus food. We currently collect frozen bread, fruit and vegetables, damaged tinned and dried items from Booths and will soon be collecting some dairy products too. “We distribute to Fleetwood Foodbank, and a range of churches and charities across the Fylde coast.” Booths have collection points in its St Anne’s and 28

National Breakfast Week... Pep up your morning meal! By Danielle Lade

meal of the day. But below are just a few different options to pep up your morning meal, without having to prepare a full English breakfast.
However, we spend a 7th of our lives living Mondays and a 12th of our lives living January’s so it’s worth trying to brighten them up! Annually, in January, between 24th and 30th, the UK celebrates Breakfast Week! We all know it’s the most important meal of the day, we all know that, even when we’re getting to the office with our only sustenance, a large takeaway coffee. However, as having a good breakfast improves our mood, lifts energy levels and can affect our long term health, we surely owe it to ourselves, and what better time of the year than when we’re feeling low and lacking in energy!
2. Tantalising Toast - Usually stick with
anuary is typically a cold, miserable month. The post seasonal slump leaves us all with slightly too little money, we’re all still a bit too full after Christmas dinner (and Boxing Day snacking!) and frankly, January is the Monday of the year!
Cereal and toast are the two most common breakfast meals, they’re both quick and easy and can be eaten practically running out of the door. And we are not all suddenly going to be able to find an extra hour to prepare that first 34
1. Grab & Go - If you really do have to have your morning meal on the run; instead of grabbing a sugary breakfast biscuit or breakfast bar. Have a couple of ounces of cheese as a portion, chuck in a few walnuts and a piece of fruit and provide yourself with a much healthier, fibre and protein rich start to the day. butter or marmite on your toast? Think about adding a couple of tablespoons of ricotta and some halved cherry tomatoes instead, or slice some banana on top of a thin layer of peanut butter, for the same amount of time but a more satisfying and filling breakfast.

advice on staying warm and well this Winter Over the last ten years a staggering quarter of a million older people have died from the cold. Research shows that exposure to the cold can have a devastating impact on the health of older people, who are particularly vulnerable to the impact of low temperatures. As people get older it takes longer to warm up which can be bad for people’s health. The cold thickens blood and increases blood pressure, and breathing in cold air can increase the risk of chest infections. The good news is that preparing effectively for the cold weather can literally save lives. That’s why this winter Age UK will be working hard to remind older people and carers of the importance of taking simple precautions to stay warm and well. The Charity is urging people to call Age UK Advice for free on 0800 169 65 65, and order a free copy of the Charity’s ‘Winter Wrapped Up’ guide which contains a free thermometer and provides tips on staying warm in winter. Alternatively the guide can be downloaded from www. spreadthewarmth.org.uk where contact details for local Age UKs can also be found.
AGE UK’S TOP TIPS FOR STAYING WARM AND WELL THIS WINTER l 64°F (18°C) is the ideal temperature for your bedroom and 70°F (21°C) is the ideal temperature for your living room. Check your thermostat or use a room thermometer to monitor temperature l Keep your bedroom window shut on at night. Breathing in cold air can increase the risk of chest infections. l Stay active and when you are indoors try not to sit still for more than an hour, if you can get up. Walk around or make a hot drink. l Eat well. It’s important to eat well, especially in the winter. Have at least one hot meal a day and have regular hot drinks, as they help to keep you warm. Also stock up on basic food items in case of a cold snap. 36
Caroline Abrahams, Charity Director at Age UK, said: “Although it sounds like common sense, advising people on how to stay warm in winter can actually make all the difference. Many people are not fully aware of how the cold affects our bodies differently as we age and how, if we don’t take sensible precautions, it can very quickly put our lives in danger. “Winter can be an incredibly daunting and difficult time for older people, especially those who live alone or are housebound, so it’s vital that we do all we can to help them prepare for the colder weather. We urge anyone who is concerned about keeping warm and well over winter to get in touch with their local Age UK to find out how we can help them.”
Age UK’s Campaign for Warm Homes For many years, Age UK has argued that improving energy efficiency in people’s homes is the long term to solution to the high levels of excess winter deaths, winter health problems and fuel poverty amongst older people in England. Due to the closure of one of the Government’s flagship energy efficiency programme - the Green Deal - currently there is very limited support for anyone who wants to install measures to make their home warmer. That is why the Campaign for Warm Homes is urgently calling on the Government to reform its energy efficiency programme to enable all older people to live in a warm home. For more information about the campaign and contacting your local MP, please go to www.ageuk.org.uk/ warmhomes

HOROSCOPES 2016
By Jason Caddy
www.jasoncaddy.co.uk
Your Year Ahead Aries
Your ruler Mars beats a retreat from April to June and this brings a natural hiatus to your year, the fallout from which will last well into July. But you should consider that, although your energy levels might deplete, itmaycome at exactly the right time because you’ll be more inclined to think about where you’re going in life rather than plumping for the first/easiest option. And change course only if necessary after this kind of forced spell of deliberation.The planet that rules luck, Jupiter, makes its annual move in August landing on its feet as usual, this time in your opposite sign. While it’s in Libra, where it’ll remain for 12 months, watch your luck in love improve as you attract someone generous, polished, if not a bit of a know-all, but if his or her heart’s in the right place I’m sure that you can forgive them that. All this adds up to a year when you’ll learn a lot about yourself and the benefits of patience because wisdom comes from not making snap judgements and truly taking people as they are without thinking that you know what’s best for them.
Taurus Mars is a planet that likes to mind its own business and, well, just get on with things really with the minimal amount of fuss, so we rely on it to fire us up when our internal pilot light is in danger of being snuffed out. But from April to June it’ll go backwards in Sagittarius and plough up some sticky emotional areas as far as you’re concerned. This also of course strikes up some of your core sensitivities and may make you a bit more prickly than usual, but this is not a time to go it alone, so please do bear in mind that two heads are better than one whatever life throws at you during this time. The luckiest planet of all, Jupiter, moves into Libra in August, and this is fandabidozi for you, Taurus. It shifts the focus of fortune onto your work and health areas so if you’ve been looking to move up in the world of work or pack a punch at the gym then this is exactly the time of year when you should be concentrating your energies into these areas. And with Saturn in Sagittarius, this is also a great year for either joining forces emotionally, in a business sense, or both.
Gemini You start the year with your ruler Mercury backwards so you might not exactly be firing on all cylinders as you fold away Christmas for another year. All you might manage to do at this point in fact is be misunderstood however much underlining you do, plus travel plans may also be subject to hiccups so make sure that your Kindle is fully charged. It’s a similar story right at the other end of the year, from around mid-December actually, plus two other retrograde spells in the middle making the filling to this sandwich of confusion when you shouldn’t make any big decisions or sign contracts, namely the end of April until around the time the sun enters your sign on 20thMay and for most of September. Saturn continues its construction work in the sign of Sagittarius and this can make certain relationships
42
feel like a bit of a slog, although you’ll continually surprise yourself with your mature attitude. Finally, lucky Jupiter moves into Libra in August and this is absolutely fabulous for lighting the fuse of new romance, creative ventures or returning to where you were in a LTR if things have went a bit stodgy and boring.
Cancer Being ruled by the moon, you surrender to the ups and downs of its cycles to a greater extend than any other sign so you’re a changeable sign. This all still applies this year of course but as you lose your stabilisers and throw yourself into a relationship you may have to learn to bury your insecurities a bit more and not pin them on your partner. A good place to start is by not continually testing their loyalty. Mars goes backwards from April to your roughly your birthday time,and this will bring a change to your working scenario and could mean that you do a lot more work alone. Alternatively, you may slow down if you’ve been overdoing it by living in the fast lane and running yourself ragged as a result, or spending more time at the gym than is good for you and your personal life. But the cavalry eventually arrives because the move of Jupiter in August is great for your life-work balance,for as well as bringing luck over family announcements, house moves and parents it also makes you feel a lot more centred and sure in yourself.
Leo There could be some mild confusion at work at the beginning of the year that your marvellous creativity will be able to find a workaround for. The only way to avoid criticism is by doing and saying nothing, and how boring is that! Mars, the planet that channels our energy and drive, goes backwards from April until June in the part of the chart that your sign rules. So generally speaking frustration levels are likely to rise, particularly if you again feel like your ideas are being dismissed (don’t let them grind you down), or you might find greater difficulty relating to younger people. But the best is yet t come, and your birthday time is made extra special by the move of the planet of luck, Jupiter, into Libra. This brings you mental clarity and can mean that you patch things up with a sibling or neighbour or close friend that, although you may not have admitted it yourself, has caused you concern that you have closed off at the back of your mind. Travel is also indicated at this time, or maybe even a night class, and you shouldn’t feel embarrassed about wanting to learn something new or improve your lot.
Virgo Mars stirs up lots of memories between April and early July connected to anything from your recent past to your childhood. It’s also likely that the advice of your parents that you perhaps chose to ignore will come back at you. You may also experience hold-ups over a house move or feel like you’re taking a backwards step (like moving back
ADVERTISE - Book Online www.link-mag.co.uk 0800 970 7687 or sales@link-mag.co.uk
in with mum and dad maybe?!). You also wave off Jupiter from your sign just after your birthday time as it moves into your money sector. This is fabulous news for landing on your feet financially, whereas others will go to town on spending with no regard for the consequences. Jupiter may be lucky but it doesn’t make you bulletproof so might be best not to think that you should always be the one footing the bill. The only other thing to watch out for is your ruler Mercury retrograde in your sign from roughly mid-August to mid-September throwing more than its fair share of spanners in the works and meaning that you’ll be chasing your tail quite a bit.
Libra What a year it’ll shape up to be for you, Libra. But before we get the bit when you’re flying high, there’s a tiny bit of turbulence to negotiate between April and June when Mars goes backwards. This is the planet that governs our drives and our determination to get things done so this might be a bit of a fallow period for you in terms of you being able to communicate with people effectively. Frustrating. Your ideas may become muddled and you may come to judge people prematurely, especially siblings and neighbours. This is temporary of course, and if proceeded by the biggest lift you get all year when in August King of the Gods Jupiter moves into your sign where it’ll remain for a year. Hallelujah. This amps up your luck and your vision and also makes you prone to think bigger than you have been in a long time and your thirst for knowledge and travel etc. will be increased, plus there’ll also be a legal resolution coming that should turn out in your favour.
Scorpio Now that you’ve been free of Saturn in your sign for a while you should be getting used to having all of that wiggle room in your life, and loving it. There’s a lot going in in the heavens this year, and distilling it down for you, the first thing that you should be aware of is Mars’s backward motion between April and June. It happens in your money sector, so as well as hold-ups with banks, property and mobilising funds in general you may also have to stand up to someone that gets a kick from putting you down or taking unnecessary pot shots at your contributions. Don’t be kept down at heel. In August, the planet that directs fortune moves into a very mysterious part of your chart, and a secret may be blown out of the water or feelings that have been repressed burst out into the open. All of this is ultimately healthy and spiritually cleansing, satisfying etc. even if this isn’t normally the kind of stuff that floats your boat.
Sagittarius With such a lot going on in your piece of sky in 2016 it’s difficult to know where to begin, so we’ll start at the very beginning. Watch for financial mishaps right at the start of the year or misplaced hero worship, and once you get to February, things even out before Mars turns on its heel in your sign in April until June, robbing you of much of your va-va-voom. Putting a positive spin on this as is your wont being such an optimistic sort, you’ll be less likely to put your foot in your mouth or make rash commitments that you really won’t feel like honouring when it comes to the crunch. In August
your ruler Jupiter moves into a fabulous part of the chart for finding a soul connection, or for making new friends or finding luck in a group scenario. The backdrop to all of this of course is Saturn’s first full year in your sign, blessing you with an air of maturity plus the wherewithal to work hard to achieve your goals
Capricorn As you pack up the Christmas decorations for another year, celebrate your birthday or look forward to getting your teeth into another year, you may not be as on the ball as you’d like. This is down to Mercury generally muddying the waters as the year finds its feet, although normalcy returns come the end of January. The next milestone is April through June because this is when the usually dynamic Mars turns a bit floppy and wet. It’ll all be kicking off in a difficult part of your chart and one that makes withdrawing from the world very tempting or, heaven forbid, wallowing in self-pity more likely. Just be aware that the more you chew over things and shut yourself away the worse things seem. The great news is that from August, Jupiter shoots to the top of your chart, spelling success and recognition in your career accompanied by a general rise in your personal profile. So if you’ve been sat in the slow lane watching all manner of people accelerate past you with a pitying yet smug smile, this is your turn to bask in the spotlight.
Aquarius After a shaky start to the year when you might be more wistful and nostalgic than you’d like, by the time your birthday arrives you’ll be high-kicking your way to success. Mars is normally the planet that helps us give ourselves a shake when life gets on top of us, but it takes a very long lunch between April and June in your most sociable zone. This means that your social circle may temporarily contract or people will be difficult to get hold of. Brilliant Jupiter moves into fellow airy Libra in August and so begins an immensely lucky time for you if you’re looking to shake up a humdrum existence by retraining and learning a new skill, travelling more extensively or expanding your social contacts. This can also bring a legal matter to a head. Just watch for thinking that you know what’s best for others and getting all evangelical if something works for you.
Pisces Mars can dent your ambition between April and June, either that or you’ll be sending out a whole heap of mixed messages to the world about what you want and what you don’t want. September could be equally as tricky, this time for a relationship, because communications break down or you just don’t know how to please someone. Maybe you should stop trying and let things take their natural course. The most fabulous news of all is the move of Jupiter in August into Libra, which in your chart is a very intimate place, and this can be your gateway to improving the physical side of a relationship, starting a business or putting your head together with someone to make money. If you’ve been agonising over a property sale that’s been dragging its feet, lucky Jupiterhappily shunts this along too. If you’re blinded to reality in mid-June, November puts you back in touch with reality.
