Welcome Hi everyone, Welcome to our first edition for 2015, I hope you all had a great Christmas and the new year is being kind to you. The Christmas break provided the opportunity for a much needed rest, but with the year barely off the starting blocks my annual break is now a distant memory. Whilst working on this month’s edition, I stopped to answer the phone and noticed rain water lapping at the back door. There’s nothing like an imminent flood to get the adrenaline going so I sprang into instant panic mode and ran around the garden like a headless chicken for a while (in leaky boots). By the end of the day, soaked through, weary from building dams and sweeping water, my previously lazy brain is now fully back in working order and I’m ready to tackle the rest of the winter. I hate to wish my life away, but roll on Spring time! This year The Village Directory is 10 years old. Thinking back that’s a lot of deadlines, and sleepless nights, especially at the beginning! I’m proud to say that a number of advertisers have been with me for most of that journey and I’m sincerely grateful for their loyalty. The Walnut Tree Inn in Aldington actually featured in my very first edition back in July 2005 and 10 years on is still very much a part of the The Village Directory family. I’m afraid Dolly & Tinkaboo are on holiday this month so Henry Hedgehog is looking after Kid’s Corner for them while they are away. They’ll be back soon!

Preparing for Warmer Weather by Pippa Greenwood
The combination of the poor weather in February and the very fact that gardens tend to be at their least appealing this month, means the chances are yours is receiving nothing much more than a fair helping of neglect at the moment. But spring isn’t far away so get your gardening gloves on for a bit of preparation.
4
Start by clearing up any remaining fallen leaves, broken twigs. Twigs and woody debris are best binned or burned or perhaps even heaped up in the corner of the garden to act as a sheltering spot for wildlife, but fallen leaves, and the top growth of herbaceous perennials, can be added to the compost heap. When it comes to tackling herbaceous or flower borders, don’t make things look too clean and tidy, as you may well cut down on the protection that faded top-growth can provide. I tend to leave most of the remains of herbaceous plants in place until spring, but the most ugly, straggly or unkempt bits could certainly be cleared up now. Keep a particular look out for slugs and snails and collect them up while they are snoozing!
It is too early in the year to cut your lawn and indeed you should try to keep off it as far as possible, but you can clear twigs and leaves and cut back any weeds which have grown faster than the grass itself. You can use any pots or other containers which have been left around the garden to create spots of colour and interest by clearing them out, using fresh compost and then replanting them. If you choose temporary winter plantings such as winter flowering pansies or pompom winter daisies, then these can simply be removed when it is time to replant with summer bedding. Scrubbing down the outer surfaces of pots and containers will also help to clean them up again, because by now they have invariably accumulated a good helping of algae and soil and can look quite a mess. Check fruit trees for signs of any dead shrivelled fruit still on the branches and cut these out, as they often harbour brown rot disease and can cause a lot of problems in the future. However these definitely shouldn’t be composted - bin or burn any you find.
Use a stiff brush to clear off surface debris from your terrace or patio and then once it is clear, if it still looks in need of a bit of a facelift, use the stiff brush or yard broom to scrub it over thoroughly. Provided freezing weather is not forecast, wash it over with a few buckets of water. A trip to your local garden centre is bound to give you plenty of ideas for what’s looking good this month. Some of my favourites include the small trees or shrubs which have a delicious fragrance during the winter months. These include winter sweet, hamamelis (witch hazel) and sarcococca. You can now buy pots of snowdrop bulbs which are not far from flowering so ‘cheat’ a little and pop a few of these into the ground. Winter flowering heathers and winter flowering pansies can also be used to great effect right now.

ello everyone, Mowgli here. First of all Happy New Year! We hope you and your pets have a healthy and happy year.

In our house it has just been Joshua’s second birthday. This was great fun for all of uswrapping paper to chase around, gifts to open (I pull off bits of paper with my teeth and join in although Ebony is of course far too ladylike for this), and toys to play with. Josh and I had a great time. He has a little car to ride in so I sit in it sometimes and he pushes me around, he got a new play kitchen that I can sit on the top of it and supervise, and I am also well known for running off with bits of jigsaw and posting them under my favourite dresser. I sat on a chair at the table for the birthday party and it was such fun. Unfortunately I got a bit carried away and ate the streamers from a party popper and so I didn’t feel very well the next day- not that I got much sympathy from Clive- he just told me I was silly! He obviously just doesn’t understand getting into the party spirit! I also love playing with the computer. How many of you other cats out there love computers? I just adore them although Ebony is not so keen. As usual though my enthusiasm is mis-interpreted and is interpreted as mischief. I get Jane to help me type up this column every month and for every edition I sit on the desk and help type. I like just stepping on one key and typing the letter over and over. I also have a better knowledge of the keyboard than Jane and know a lot of clever combinations of keys to press at once. I can do many things- lock the keypad, cause a restart, lock the touch pad, resize the screenand sometimes the humans are not as clever as me and have to call a computer helpline to
reverse the changes I have made. I out-smart my owners all the time! I am also good at emails and have helped Clive and Jane send quite a few, often when they were not finished and I have also managed to put a facebook update all by myself. Anyway, even though all this usually gets me into trouble I am always praised for sitting and purring on the deskapparently this helps them work. I love the desk- it has lots of cubbyholes for papers and pens and I can usually find something to play with while they work. Although Ebony doesn’t much like computers she does like the game console Clive has. He doesn’t get to play it very much but whenever he does she sits on a stool next to him and pays great attention. I can hear him talking her through the game and asking for advice when he keeps getting things wrong. Who says cats don’t like technology?! Anyway, Josh is heading over to his kitchen so I had better go and sit on the top and supervisea cat’s work is never done!

Transitions by Ian Ludlow at LPA Services The current UK population is living longer than any generation that has gone before. This phenomenon is causing us all to re-think our lives. My name is Ian Ludlow and I was born in 1953 and my life expectancy at that time was 76 years; in 2015 it is now 83 and I haven’t done anything to deserve an extended period of life on this planet or prepare for this from a wealth or health viewpoint.

01795 503 184
My pension payments will be reduced by the Assurance Company Actuaries to cover the longer life expectancy and the NHS do not have the resources to cover any long term health issues I might experience. This all seems to have crept up on us over the last 15 years and I will admit I was not the first in the queue to make the necessary adjustments to cater for these changes… were you?
10
No matter what generation you belong to, it’s time to make life affecting transitions to help ourselves and our families. I believe every family should have the means and resources available to them to look after individual members who need care and support in their later life and when it matters most. So, what kind of transitions should we all consider to ensure family members have a life of dignity, respect and a sense of selfsufficiency both emotionally and financially? I have spent many years investigating the key health and financial elements we can all address to prepare ourselves and our family for the transitions needed to cater for this new world of longer life. My approach is holistic as well as practical; changing one element alone does not solve all the issues that are likely to be encountered. This has meant activities such as becoming a Dementia Friend; arranging health and financial Powers of Attorney; safeguarding the family home by changing the way it is owned; assessing all safety aspects for
email: info@lpaservices.co.uk www.lpaservices.co.uk elderly family members who wish to stay in the family home… especially if they are on their own; and many more. You may have put one of these elements in place already but without a full overview and assessment of all aspects you may be leaving yourself and your family vulnerable to external influences that can easily reduce the quality and standard of living you have spent so much of your life working towards. In 2008 my wife and I started our business which is based in the historic town of Faversham and specialises in helping families to counter the issues caused by the fact that we are all living longer. We have first hand experience of helping our own parents in various ways to take away the burden and worry they feel when trying to deal with legal, financial, health and technical issues. To find out how we achieve this and for more information, please call Ian or Jo Ludlow on 01795 503 184 or email us at info@lpaservices.co.uk

NEED Caring All Together on Romney Marsh (CARM) is a registered charity providing support to older people. Their aim is to reduce social isolation and enhance the well-being of older people in our community. Services are delivered by a team of over 100 dedicated volunteers: Meeting Points are coffee mornings with a little extra – people meet for chats, drinks, games and outings. Our Memories Matter delivers reminiscence sessions to those in care settings and Befriending matches isolated clients with volunteer visitors for company and socialising. The staff team are building on these successes and launching a range of services to help even more isolated people.
12
Telephone Befriending links clients with volunteers for a weekly phone call. The purpose of the call is reduce the clients’ loneliness and provides them with an opportunity to talk about whatever they want without feeling uncomfortable and it is ideal for clients who don’t want someone in their home but are still lonely or require additional support. Group Befriending is aimed at those who prefer a small social get-together rather than one to one. A volunteer facilitator drives members to one of the clients’ home on a monthly basis for socialisation. This is fantastic for those looking to establish those informal networks that are often lost with the loss of mobility and onset of poor health. Family Connect is a project using computers to connect people with friends and family who they can no longer visit. Equipment and support is provided by a co-ordinator and new user-friendly technologies allow easy messaging and video calling with loved ones. Emma Wiltshire, Development Co-ordinator of CARM said ‘We know through research, both locally and nationally, that there are a great deal of lonely people in our community. We hope our

Home & Interiors How to create romantic style at home
Who
14
wouldn’t fall in love with romantic style? Feminine, delicate and oh-so pretty, this is a timeless look that will work in all styles of home, from a bijoux city apartment to a grand country pile, says Katherine Sorrell Make your home a haven from everyday worries with a romantic decorating style that takes you worlds away from the busy bustle of modern life. It’s a look that is eternally charming and appealing, pretty as a picture, soft and dreamy and completely irresistible. The first ingredient? Sumptuous fabrics, of course. Think lacey trims around the edges of pillowcases, napkins or cushions, or even entire panels (especially vintage or antique) hung across a window or thrown over a bed. Gorgeous. Sheers are also perfect for this look. Employ organza, chiffon, tulle, georgette and voile in opulent swathes and gathers, and layer them with crisp cottons and linens for interest and appeal. Since how things feel is just as important as how they look, add some deliciously soft and tactile
fabrics such as angora, mohair or cashmere, or perhaps warm and snuggly wool or felt. Choose floral patterns that look as if they’re worn or faded (definitely not digitally printed or modern in style) – you just can’t beat classics such as roses, hydrangeas, peonies and the like, especially when they’re hand-drawn or block-printed. Decorative details are important, too: embroidery, borders, ruffles and scalloped edgings will enhance even the plainest of fabrics, and since a little goes a long way there is no need to break the bank to achieve the desired effect. As for furniture, opt for simple, country-style or shabby chic furnishings in natural pine or else painted in pale and pretty colours. You may wish to go to town in the bedroom with a canopied or half-tester bed (if you’re on a budget, simply hang generous amounts of hemmed, sheer fabric from a hoop above the bed for a similar effect), combined with blissfully beautiful bed linen: perhaps crisp white cotton edged with drawn threadwork and topped with a vintage chintzy eiderdown or satin quilt. In the living room, opt for a plump and (of course) comfortable sofa, chaise longue or armchair in a traditional style, piled with cushions and bolsters trimmed with lace, embroidery or buttons, while in the kitchen an old-fashioned dresser is just
the thing, piled with vintage patterned crockery. No romantic home would be complete without atmospheric lighting, which is best achieved by combining a variety of light sources – a central chandelier perhaps, together with a selection of wall and table lights, the latter small and graceful rather than large and imposing. Don’t forget that twinkly fairy lights and a selection of candles or tea lights (preferably scented) will really add atmosphere to your home. And speaking of finishing touches, choose surface finishes that are shiny and reflective, from mirror to pearl, polished metal to glazed ceramics. Accessorise with fine china teacups and cake stands, delicately etched glassware and bone-handled cutlery. One or two heart-shaped pieces add to the effect – as will a scattering of small ornaments, from birds and animals to female figures. Last, but definitely not least, add flowers everywhere possible, in vases and milk bottles, jam jars and other informal containers. Roses or ranunculas, alliums or asters – informal arrangements of old-fashioned blooms with a lovely scent will be sure to bring romance to any home. By Katherine Sorrell

Cake and Bake Plum and Almond Tart Served with thick cream, custard or ice cream, this tart makes a delicious warming winter pud. You can use other fruits if plums are not available –try chunks of apples or pears or Armagnacsoaked prunes for a special occasion. 18
Ingredients: • • • • • •
175g self-raising flour 100g unsalted butter, chilled and diced 50g ground almonds 3 tbsp caster sugar 1 small egg, beaten 50g natural marzipan, chilled and grated • 4 large plums, stones removed and quartered • 2 tbsp flaked almonds, roughly chopped • 2 tbsp Demerara sugar
TIP If you don’t have an oblong shaped flan tin use a 20cm round loose-based fluted flan tin instead.
Serves 6 Ready in 1 ¼ hours, plus chilling
1. Sift the flour into a bowl, add the diced butter and, using your fingertips, rub the fat into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the ground almonds. Remove ¼ of the mixture and chill in the fridge. 2. Add the caster sugar and beaten egg to the remaining mixture and mix to a soft, slightly sticky dough. Using floured hands press the dough into the base and up the sides of a 28 x 10cm oblong loose-based flan tin (see tip). Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. 3. Preheat the oven to 180C, 350F, Gas Mark 4. Scatter the grated marzipan in the chilled flan case and top with the plum quarters (skin side up).

MAKE A NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION Help a Child Discover the Joy of Reading Reading is essential in today’s world. Unfortunately many children struggle to learn to read for all sorts of reasons – one in seven children in England left primary school last year behind in their reading and one in six adults in the UK has a reading level below that expected of an elevenyear-old. Beanstalk is a national charity that gives oneto-one literacy support to children in primary schools in Kent who have fallen behind with their reading.

Each Beanstalk reading helper works with three children for a year, spending half an hour individually, twice each week. The sessions are relaxed and fun – chatting, playing games to build confidence and reading together. By becoming a reading helper, you’ll give a child the one-to-one attention they need to build their confidence and help them catch up with their reading. You’ll give them a chance to learn at their own pace and adapt your sessions to suit them. Volunteering as a Beanstalk reading helper is extremely rewarding, makes a lasting difference to children’s lives and is a great way to give something back to your local

Beauty Hot Hair Tips
by Helen Taylor
Your hair can have a massive impact on the way you look and feel so find a flattering style to make the most of the good bits and disguise the elements of your face and body you don’t like.
For Your Face Shape Round faces suit styles that are layered and cut into, that frame the face without making it look rounder. Very thick one length hair won’t be flattering, so if your hair is long keep the length but lose some of the volume.
Do you want help to actually keep your new year resolutions and finally reach your goals in 2015?
Long faces need a style that helps to shorten the appearance of the face. A textured chin length bob is a good option, so is adding a fringe to your current style. Square faces need to soften their angular features by choosing a style that’s layered and soft to frame their face. Avoid heavy fringes and bobs.
24
Oval and Triangular faces are thought to suit any hairstyle, so enjoy trying out any and every style you fancy.
For Your Body sShape One Hour Full Wellness Consultation for only
£48.50 (normal price £97). Available for bookings made by 28.2.15
20 Minute Telephone Consultation Session. No obligation, no pressure - just a friendly informal chat to see how I can help you.
Certain hairstyles definitely suit some body shapes more than others. If you carry more weight, then long or short sleek styles are best, because a straighter style works to thin and lengthen the face. Avoid any full styles that add bulk around your face. If you are thinner than you’d like to be choose a style that will add volume to your face. You can achieve this by adding layers to your hair, blow-drying your locks to create lift and volume and choosing curly or tousled styles.
Health, Nutrition and Weight Management Consultant
Problem Solvers We all have aspects of our face that we’re not so keen on, here’s how to hide them: “I hate my big nose” Choose styles that are voluminous and lifted at the crown, this means that when you’re seen in profile your nose will appear smaller. A centre parting is a definite no-no for you, as it draws attention straight to the nose, so opt for a side parting instead.
health & beauty “My forehead is too big” Disguising a high forehead is easy, all you need is a fringe. Choose whatever kind you like; layered, heavy or wispy. “My ears are big and they stick out” Opt for a style that covers your ears and adds volume around that area, so that your ears are concealed. This can be achieved with both long and short styles. “I have a weak/receding chin” Don’t go for very short styles, keep the length below your chin and choose layers to frame your face and jaw line. Image courtesy of Paul Mitchell
Turn Back The Clock The right hairstyle - and colour - will instantly make you look younger: Many of us make the mistake of keeping our hair in the same style that we had when we were younger, but as we age our face changes and needs a style that will best flatter it as it is now. That’s why it’s important to try out a new look every few years.
Solid, block colours just aren’t flattering as you age, so cover greys and soften and brighten your face with a multitude of lowlights and highlights. You’ll be amazed at the results.
Shorter styles tend to be more flattering as we age, and they serve to ‘lift’ our facial features. Long hair looks fabulous when you’re 25, but not so good when you’re 55, because the lengthy tresses tend to drag your face down.
