Editor’s Note ... Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it’s time to thank our mums for everything they have done for us. Every culture has their own unique way of celebrating mothers, so take this oppurtunity to discover the many ways in which we say thank you. Mother’s Day will come knocking on our doors on the 15th of March, so turn to page 28 to take a look at these unique traditions and incorporate them into your celebrations. If you’re looking for interesting events taking place across Plympton this coming month, then turn to page 14 to look at our What’s On Guide for a whole host of brilliant ideas. We are holding a Photography Competition, a chance for you to show off your Photography skills. The winner’s photograph will appear on the front cover! All you need to do to is take a photograph of an area in Plympton that you think would make a great front cover image and email it to us. Turn to page 6 to enter. I hope you enjoy this issue and I will catch up with you next month! Nimra Imran - Interim Editor

RIGHT PRICE Hundreds of satisfied customers praise local, independent business Right Price Windows. Based in Newnham Industrial Estate, Plympton, for its friendliness and quality of service. Company directors Travis Chiddle and Sarah Haseler are delighted to see the business continue to grow since purchasing it in 2013. Over the past two years, their mindset has been solidly focused on hard work and commitment to the firm’s loyal customers – which has even seen the team work on Christmas Day. “We are passionate about Plymouth,” says former Royal Marine, Travis. “We employ 15 people and our goal is to aid the city’s economy, manufacture items on site, and maintain a low carbon footprint.” “We also make sure that there is little waste by recycling as much as we can.” Making products and frames on site means the company can provide a wide bespoke range for the home. These are certain to provide sparkle and added value – from energy efficient PVCu windows (in a wide range of designs and colours) through to a multiple story extension. The company’s conservatories are also manufactured in house and are designed to have a long life and also be energy efficient. The team is happy to aid with any planning issues to ensure you have minimal fuss when it is being installed. 10

Or, if you are looking for something with a real sense of “historic grandeur,” then why not invest in an Orangery? “An Orangery incorporates not only the best of the modern world with its technology, that ensures a warm and energy efficient finish, but it also encompasses the elegance of the Victorian era,” says Travis. Or, if you don’t have quite the space for an Orangery, then the company can also fit a “skypod” into a roof area, so adding height, light and volume to your living space. The high spec quality and finish on the porches, doors, windows and rooflines make Right Price Windows the natural choice for many homeowners looking for home improvements.

Call The Plympton Community Magazine 01752 691007 | www.plymptonmagazine.co.uk


Additionally, the company’s wide range also makes a tempting array for clients – from Sarah’s favourites, the vertical sliding window, to by-folding doors where the door will literally fold back on itself in a concertina style. By-folding doors can have a maximum span of six metres which allow for a huge area to be opened up for those all important spring rays of sunshine!

“We employ 15 people and our goal is to aid the city’s economy, manufacture items on site, and maintain a low carbon footprint.” Sarah, who has just had her first baby, says people are also attracted to the business because of its sense of fairness for the customer – they provide discounts for OAPs, military personnel and emergency workers. Her grandfather was a former Royal Marine and Travis’ connection with the Forces, together with the city’s strong ties to the Royal Navy, means that both Sarah and Travis felt it important to be able to provide a discount for the military.

Sarah also enjoys success as a singer whose large repertoire of music is enjoyed at various social events across the city. Her passion for singing extends into work where, during the recent cold snap, she started singing a song from the hit film, Frozen. She soon found that other members of the team also knew the song and joined in! “It really made for a warm, happy atmosphere and it is that friendly atmosphere that is what our business is all about,” says Sarah.

The distribution of Plympton Community Magazine has never been beaten by any other local competitor! We have a dedicated marketing distribution company who deliver The Plympton Community Magazine through Plympton household letter box’s. The business was started by two companies who found it difficult to find reliable and economical distributors in the Plymouth and surrounding areas. Our distributors are respectful of occupants wishes at all times and they will never deliver material where the householder/business owner has requested us not to, we always ensure that all material is delivered into the letterbox and pushed through for security purposes. Our distributers use Full GPS tracking systems through mobile phones, this is a very unique system which enables us to view every step on every path, through every street, on every road and down every lane! This form of guaranteed tracking can also tell us how many distributers are working and how fast they are walking, this is then followed by spot checking to ensure they carry out the work as required to meet our very high standards. The Plympton Community Magazine is the original magazine which has been providing local information and great discounts to the people of Plympton for over 5 years. For the past 12 months we have chosen to use this new age form of distribution to ensure Plympton Magazine is delivered on time, every time, with a guaranteed tracked distribution!

“Mothers...even when they’re wrong, they’re right!” By Nimra Imran B onne Fete des Meres. Gelukkige moederdag. Feliz Dia Maes. Happy Mother’s Day. It does not matter how we say it, the sentiment and the meaning is just the same. Thank you mum, for being the superhero who never got enough credit for defeating villains like laundry, school lunches and endless homework hours. With Mother’s Day knocking on our doors on the 15th of March, take a look at the unique traditions different cultures have and incorporate them into your Mother’s Day celebrations!

All across the globe, mothers are showered with handmade gifts and burnt-toast breakfasts in bed, as we celebrate a day dedicated to these angels with frizzy hair, school bags in one hand and broken crayons in the other. So now its time to show them just how much we appreciate them! So if you’re struggling to come up with a spectacular way to spend mother’s day, or if you want to avoid a kitchen in shambles after failed attempts at pancakes, have a look at the many wonderful ways mother’s day is celebrated in different cultures for some inspiration. In the UK Mother’s Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of lent, also commonly known as Mothering Sunday. Medieval times saw many poor families sending their sons and daughters to work as domestic servants or apprentices in rich households. Therefore, every year, on the fourth Sunday of Lent, children would be given the day off in order to visit their families. On their way home, the children would often pick flowers to give to their mothers and bake Mothering 28

Cakes, or Simnel cakes. The holiday also used to be known as ‘Refreshment Sunday’, as the strict lent fasting rules were put aside for one day. Today Mother’s Day is celebrated in the same manner as in America, with flowers, cards, gifts and half-cooked pancakes cut into heart shapes. Mother’s Day is the most commercial holiday celebrated in Brazil, second only to Christmas. Church gatherings, special performances put on by children and large multi-generation barbecues see Mother’s day celebrated in every household. Peru is also no exception to this holiday, where Mother’s day is celebrated with gifts, chocolates and joyous family meals. Peruvian children also give their mothers handmade items. Peru’s indigenous population, however, celebrates the gifts of mother earth, or pachamama in August. Mother’s Day simply serves as a reminder of all the sacrifices mothers make for their families and the utmost honour they deserve for it.
