There goes my hero

ommunity Trust announce new partnership initiative with The Royal British Legion aimed at supporting older veterans.

Anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that there is a need for more social opportunities for ex-servicemen and women in the Blackpool and Fylde area. Through funding from The Royal British Legion (TRBL), we are delighted therefore to announce news of two new social groups that will be aimed at veteran (aged 50+) servicemen and women. This follows on from our recently launched Sporting Memories programme, which is aimed at older (50+) sports fans. Ashley Hackett, Chief Executive at Blackpool FC Community Trust explains that “the aspiration is that these fun groups will be an opportunity where like-minded people with similar interests and backgrounds can meet up,

Alison Bunn, Area Manager for the Royal British Legion, said: ‘Many people don’t realise that we fund other organisations to fill gaps in services to the Armed Forces Community, but RBL gives a significant amount to support local projects.

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 The Wills and Trusts Lawyer can enable you to legally safeguard at least 50% of the value of your home being lost to fund care home fees.

Equity Release – how to get your property wealth working for you

ecent data published by Halifax indicated that UK house prices in October 2017 were 2.3% higher than the previous quarter. The fastest rate of growth since January 2017. As house prices continue to rise, many of the UK’s older homeowners may find that the value of their property has increased at a far greater rate than their pension incomes. By owning your own home, the long-term rise means you have been investing in an asset that is capable of significantly boosting your later life finances. If you already have an existing mortgage switching to a lifetime mortgage could allow you to be free of monthly mortgage payments. Seven facts that you may not know about a lifetime mortgages 1. You can take as little as £10,000 and leave the remaining funds in an interest free reserve until you choose to access them.

4. The interest rate is fixed for life, so you can see how much will be owed in future years. Rates currently start as low as 3.79%. 5. You can choose to ring fence a percentage of your equity guaranteeing a future inheritance. 6. You continue to own your home like any high-street mortgage. Its just a different type of mortgage that is not time sensitive. 7. I f you want to move to another property, you can take your lifetime mortgage with you (subject to lender’s criteria).

2. With some lenders there are no required monthly payments allowing you to roll up the interest over the course of the loan 3. There are also some lifetime mortgages that allow you to pay up to 15% of the initial amount borrowed every year without penalty.

LINK-MAG Gardening

Get recycling in the garden By Hannah Stephenson

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.

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.

To get a regular crop of your favourite salad, sow small amounts two or three weeks apart.

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.

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.

The heat is on

iane Simone from the Care & Repair Team at Blackpool Coastal Housing was named a Heat Hero at a special awards ceremony at the Houses of Parliament held recently. The Heat Heroes Awards are open to individuals across England and Wales and celebrate those who go above and beyond to get the recognition they deserve – for helping people in their community live in warmer homes. Held in partnership with Scottish Power and the charity National Energy Action, there were some very strong candidates, but the judges managed to select 15 worthy winners. Not-for-profit organisations including local authorities, health and social care agencies, voluntary and statutory agencies and community groups were encouraged to nominate staff and volunteers for the award. Blackpool Coastal Housing Director of Housing Services, Maggie Cornall, said ‘We were all delighted to hear that Diane was nominated and won the “Heat for Hero’s” award from the National Energy Action and

Scottish Power presented at the House of Commons. Many residents within Blackpool face fuel poverty and suffer from inadequate heating systems and a lack of insulation. The work that Diane does to help some of our most vulnerable customers is exemplary. She has a sympathetic and caring approach along with a tenacity to seek out sources of funding to allow improvements to their homes so they can become safe and comfortable to live in. The impact of this work cannot be over-estimated reducing the risk that vulnerable people face with becoming ill with a variety of respiratory conditions and hypothermia. Well done Diane – you are a true Heat Hero!’ For more on Heat Heroes go to: www.nea.org.uk/ award-schemes/heat-heroes-awards-2017

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. 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. 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. 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. 52

It’s a girl thing Tickets start from £18 with child, concession and family tickets available. To book Blackpool & The Fylde Light Opera Company’s Me and My Girl visit blackpoolgrand.co.uk, call 01253 290190 or visit the Grand Theatre box office on Church Street, Blackpool.

Caring for your pet

You smoke they smoke PDSA warns that smoking around your pet could harm them

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

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
