EARLY SPRING LOVE FOR YOUR LAWN Spring: the season of awakening and new life, the blooming of fresh buds and reemerging beautiful colour. It can be a truly inspiring time that is invigorating to the senses.

Preparing your garden requires a little effort, but the result can be a gorgeous green space to be proud of. At GreenThumb Lawn Treatment Service we know from experience that a big effort in spring pays dividends. It’s now, more than any other time of the year, that specialist lawn care advice comes in handy. GETTING AHEAD - If you didn’t have your lawn aerated and scarified this winter, there might yet be just enough time to fit it in before we really start to hit the warmer, drier months. Regardless, now is definitely the time to start thinking about getting all the necessary nutrients into the lawn through the right spring/summer treatment programme. MOWING - The amount of lawn mowing required will naturally increase; GreenThumb recommends implementing a, regular mowing programme. Dry, sunny days are the best for lawn mowing. It’s important that mower blades are kept sharp or replaced when needed to avoid causing damage to the grass plant. Also, cutting the grass too short, too soon will weaken it, attracting unwanted weeds and moss. If possible, it is best for a lawn to be cut at least once a week, to a height of about 25mm (1”). A little maintenance in the form of consistent mowing will help train the grass to be stronger over time.

KEEP IT CLEAR - Another way to help a lawn through spring is to rake up any dead leaves and twigs from the lawn and cut back overhanging plants; this is because grass needs as much direct sunlight and air as possible to stay healthy and green. As the ground starts to warm, it’s a good time to repair bare patches that can appear over winter. To do so, carefully rake the patch to create a bed, sow the seeds with a little top-soil and don’t let them dry out; they will germinate in a few days (temperature permitting). GreenThumb can assist in this regard, as we have the best seed and an excellent 100% organic top-dressing. TREATMENT TIME - At GreenThumb we tailor our treatments to suit our part of the country and the conditions we find here. Treatment programmes should be, and are, designed with the greatest care for lawns: whatever your lawn needs, we tailor our advice to suit the conditions. We have the solutions to transform any piece of grass, whatever the size or condition - into a healthy, fresh and beautiful lawn. Finally, remember to ENJOY YOUR GARDEN. It is meant to be a pleasure, not a chore. Make the effort now and enjoy the months ahead. For more information call us on 02392 591455 or email hampshiresoutheast@greenthumb.co.uk visit www.greenthumb.co.uk.

March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Ovarian cancer is the UK’s deadliest gynaecological disease, but many women are unaware of the symptoms. The charity, Target Ovarian Cancer says that the earlier a woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer the more likely she will respond to treatment. However, most women are diagnosed once the disease has already spread. This Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, The Directory Group are urging readers to join forces to make sure that more women are diagnosed earlier to help save lives! It's so vital that we keep raising awareness and funding research if we are going to create a better future for the thousands of women affected by the disease. You can help by raising awareness through things like social media and putting up posters at work. Or you can raise money through organising a ‘Walk in

Her Name’ in your local area with friends and family. Visit the Target Ovarian Cancer website today to sign up receive your fundraising pack and help fight Ovarian Cancer www.targetovariancancer.org.uk Below are a few symptoms of ovarian cancer, but you can find out more about symptoms, diagnostic and treatment by visiting www.targetovariancancer.org.uk/informationand-support/what-ovarian-cancer/ovariancancer-symptoms • Persistent bloating • Feeling full quickly and/or loss of appetite • Pelvic or abdominal pain • Urinary symptoms

5th of March

World Book Day is a registered charity which aims to give every child and young person a book of their own. This year, the 23rd worldwide annual World Book Day celebrations will take place on the 5th March and will see children, teachers and parents from over 100 countries come together to appreciate reading.

Although the main aim of the celebrations is to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading, World Book Day is a day where people of all ages have all come to know and love. Over the years, we have seen parents, grandparents, guardians and friends piece together magnificent (some not so much) costumes of their child’s favourite book character. Undoubtedly though, this day may fill some parents with the slight dread, with the thought of scrambling a presentable costume together looming over us into the early hours of the night before the big day. In today’s world, people are often consumed with technology that we forget how many benefits reading books can have for everyone. This month, the team at TDG are encouraging as many people as possible to reignite the reading flames inside us all! To do so here is a list of 5 benefits reading has below:

1. Knowledge:

Although seemly obvious, people tend to forget the fact that reading builds knowledge, something that will make you better equipped to face everyday situations.

2. Entertainment:

Reading isn’t just about learning; it’s about enjoyment too! Finding a book, author or genre you like and reading at your own pace is a brilliant lowbudget way to keep you and your family entertained.

3. Expansion of Vocabulary: Think of it as a reading life cycle; the more you read, the more words you are exposed to and the more likely you will be worked into your vocabulary.

4. Stress reduction:

Reading a novel can transport people into other realms of reality, causing a distraction from real life and allowing time for you to relax.

5. Improved concentration: In this crazy, fast-paced world, our attention is often drawn in a million different directions. Reading can help you focus your attention on one story, allowing everything else to drift away and give your mind time to breathe.

Thousands of supermarkets and book shops take part in World Book Day; you can find your local participating Bookseller by visiting www.worldbookday.com and make sure to follow #WorldBookDay on social media to see how the rest of the world is celebrating!

ROCK YOUR SOCKS FOR DOWN SYNDROME AWARENESS WEEK

LANDSCAPES Family run business, 40 years combined experience Fencing • Patios • Decking Hard Landscaping • Soft Landscaping Brickwork • Turfing •Artificial Grass

Insured to £2 million Portsmouth Down Syndrome Association invite the Hampshire community to support their celebrations during Awareness Week 15th- 21st March.

Last year thousands of individuals in schools, workplaces and organisations joined the celebrations by supporting the charity’s ‘Rock Your Socks’ Campaign. This global initiative raises awareness and promotes inclusion by inviting individuals to wear colourful socks for one day, the wackier the better! Charity chairperson Rachael Ross MBE says, “We are all individuals with our own strengths, and we all deserve the right to experience success and be acknowledged as valued members of our communities. By wearing ‘different’ socks, we hope to highlight the importance of tolerance and acceptance, and to celebrate our wonderful differences which make us all so unique. When people with Down syndrome are given opportunities to participate and be fully included, the whole community benefits.”

How you can help:

To show your support, please Rock Your Socks and post on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #PortsmouthDownSyndrome @PortsmouthDSA #RockYourSocks #WDSD. Please go to www.portsmouthdsa.org to find out more about the charity or to contact us. www.portsmouthdsa.org

CLANFIELD & HORNDEAN MARCH 2020 CLANFIELD VILLAGE COFFEE MORNING WITH ALLEN PARTON

NURSING ASSISTANT GENEROUSLY GIVES FOR AUSTRALIAN BUSH FIRES Nursing Assistant Donna, who works at St Peters Vets Ltd, in Horndean was very busy last month as she tirelessly handmade pillows, pouches and blankets for pets and wild animals injured in the Australian bush fires that spread across regions of Australia at the end of January. Donna also generously purchased bandaging material and bedding, as well as lots of sweets and treats for the staff at Port Macquarie Koala Hospital and Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park.

Studio A of the Clanfield Community Centre has never been fuller than on Tuesday 4th February when Allen Parton spoke at the monthly Village Coffee Morning about his life and his adoption by Assistance Dog Endal. The full house audience went through the whole range of emotions as Allen talked very openly about the dark periods after his Gulf war accident, of the humorous times, the tear jerking passing of Endal, through to the setting up of “Hounds for Heroes” with his Wife Sandra. As always, the Clanfield Centre & Café staff coped superbly with the rush for beverages and lunches and the day was a great success with £263 being taken by “Hounds for Heroes” in donations and purchase of merchandising.

Donna’s colleagues are super proud of her generosity and kindness and wanted to let her know that all of her hard was appreciated by the people and animals she helped with her kind donations. Amazing work! You can find St Peters Vets on Facebook or visit www.stpetersvets.co.uk for more information.

mela* Fine Indian Cuisine INDIAN RESTAURANT

Journey through the exotic cuisine at the Mela Indian Restaurant where you’ll experience a magic blend of Indian Sub-Continent heritage and popular Western favourites. Making its home in Clanfield, the Mela Indian Restaurant is a local, family-run business who pride themselves in offering a place where you, your family and friends can enjoy an evening of mouth-watering Indian cuisine and impeccable service. The Directory Group’s Denise Lloyd shares her thoughts on her recent trip to the Mela… Upon arrival, my husband and I were immediately greeted by the friendly front of house staff, who along with the waiters and chefs throughout the night, ensured we experienced a seamless service, guiding us through the menu and suggesting the best dishes to try. Once we received our drinks, we leisurely browsed the menu whilst snacking on some papadums and dips. The large, recently updated menu selection included all of the most loved curries and dishes that originate and are part of the exotic heritage of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.

FOOD TO DINE FOR

but eventually we enjoyed a delicious Vegetarian Masala Chat which was made for us upon request, pricing at £4.50. We both also shared a tasty portion of Cauliflower Bhaji pricing at £3.90. What’s great is that all of the dishes at the Mela are carefully prepared and made freshly to order, selecting the best natural spices and ingredients to bring out the rich flavouring of the family recipes. Upon order, each dish can be altered to suit any food requirements and intolerances customers may have.

Both mains were priced at a respectable £11.90. My husband had the Shahee Salmon, a succulent dish of chunks of salmon cooked with capsicum, black pepper, green chillies, onions and ground spices in a slightly hot sauce. I chose the Grilled Balti. Served with naan bread, this flavoursome meal was presented through a selection of tandoori mix cooked with fresh tomato puree, onions, capsicum and authentic spices in a rich thick sauce – delicious.

The menu boasted a range of authentic recipes including a page of the Chef’s specials and numerous new additions to the menu; all perfect for sharing with a partner group or indulging by oneself. For starters, with such a large selection of mouth watering starters, it was difficult to choose,

Our trip to the Mela gave us truly memorable feast and left our tummies very happy. An evening of celebrating life and appreciating great food, which we will undoubtedly return for again in the near future.
