Welcome Hi everyone, Welcome to the March Issue. As we head rapidly towards Spring and the time change at the end of the month, it’s the longer hours of daylight I find myself looking forward to, rather than the prospect of warm weather. One of the reasons for this is that over time I have fallen out of love with driving and I have a particular aversion to driving in the dark. For darkness to fall before the end of the afternoon is no fun in my books. Maybe it’s an age thing, when I passed my driving test at the age of 19 I was in my element, it represented independence and the world was my oyster. Now in my 50’s self-drive cars can’t come quickly enough, I would snap one up in a moment if I had the money. I’m sure they can’t be as disconcerting as sitting beside my son when he took to the road for the very first time at the age of 17!

Talking of my son, it’s Mother’s Day on Sunday the 6th, hopefully my husband has had a quiet word in his ear to bring him up to date on where we are in the year and what day of the week it is – I have a dream and chocolate delivered with a massive hug plays a big part in it!

With the Easter break approaching at the end of the month, yet again chocolate will be on the menu - whoopee what a month!

Until next time, have a great time!

Vertical Cover With Climbers

by Pippa Greenwood

4

If the boundaries of your garden are uninteresting or drab, then it is time to think about some vertical gardening. Upright surfaces are itching to be clothed in glorious climbers or wall shrubs, and if you have several vertical sites then so much the better.

A visit to your local garden centre will reveal a plentiful supply of suitable plants. Start by looking at the surface you have, the size, the direction it faces and the amount of sun or shade the plants growing on the wall or fence are likely to receive. Soil type is important as the plant you choose must be suited to the site.

Some climbers are quite quick growing and will look good later this year, and improve as the years pass. Many provide strong colour and others will be a useful backdrop for the garden as a whole. Most buildings can have climbers grown against them, so if you have an unsightly shed, garage or even a fairly uninteresting looking back to your house, then consider erecting some sort of support system on which to grow your climbers.

Break up the monotony of a long stretch of wall with a range of different plants, and make a tall, narrow building seem broader by only allowing them to reach the height of the first floor. A climbing

hydrangea, Hydrangea petiolaris, or self-clinging plants such as ivies are ideal, but make sure the mortar on your wall is in good shape before planting.

Climbers are best planted in open ground as they tend to have sizeable root systems. If grown in containers you must re-pot regularly and ultimately plan to use a big container such as a half barrel. Use a loam-based potting compost and add extra grit for drainage, and place a deep layer of crocks at the base of the container. Add controlled release fertilizer granules to the compost, to ensure that plants get adequately fed for the first few months. A triangular or V-shaped trellis panel at the back will give initial support for the plant to climb up before moving on to your wall or fence. Tie the top section of the trellis into the wall or fence, so that it does not rock about.

For ground planting, dig a large hole at least 18 inches (45 cm) from the wall or fence and incorporate plenty of compost or well rotted manure. Soak the plant’s root ball and place in the hole, ideally at a 45 degree angle so that it leans towards the wall, then spread out the roots and plant. If your climber came already attached to bamboo canes, untie the stems from any central stake and train the best

looking shoots towards your new support system, using the bamboo canes to help it on its way. Keep climbers well watered, particularly if they are on or near a sunny wall.

Any good garden centre will have a range of plants, but here are some suggestions: Vigorous climbers for a quick effect: Actinidia chinensis; Akebia quinata; Clematis montana; Clematis montana ‘Rubens’; Vitis coignetiae Climbers for clay soils: Campsis; Celastrus scandens; Clematis; Ivies; Golden hop; Climbing hydrangea; Honeysuckles (most); Vitis coignetiae Climbers for an alkaline or chalky soil: Actinidia kolomikta; Akebia quinata; Clematis; Ivies; Climbing hydrangea; Jasminum officinale; Honeysuckles; Trachelospermum jasminoides Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood.com for ‘Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwood’ - fantastic UK grown vegetable plants of your choice plus weekly advice and tips emails from Pippa, Nemaslug, biological controls, pop-up crop covers, signed books and lots more besides.

Home Improvements Considering a Water Softener?

Editors Choice - By Debbie Allen “I’ve lived in Kent my whole life so living with hard water is something that I’ve always accepted, but in the last few years my frustration with the effects of limescale on my home has really come to a head.

We spend precious time and money dealing with the visible effects of limescale but the hidden damage occurring in our pumps, fittings and water heaters often creeps up on us with an unexpected appliance failure or maintenance problem. It can be soul destroying to invest hard earned money on appliances and nice fittings, only to find them gradually deteriorate due to limescale.

10

For some time I’ve been curious about the benefits of a water softener. I’ve enjoyed the experience of showering in soft water while on holiday, but never really considered how it might help my home.

The last straw came last year when we finally had to replace a much loved luxury shower unit.

It was irreplaceable as the model was no longer available, the funds weren’t either! We had replaced and fixed so many parts as a result of the limescale attack, but we finally had to admit defeat and replace the whole thing.

When Harveys Water Softeners began advertising in the magazine I seized the opportunity to find out more. Following a little research of my own I asked Harveys for help with some of my queries, they also advised us on where and how it could be installed to get the most benefit within our property. The unit is not very big (it easily fits under an average kitchen sink) and doesn’t require power. so it could go precisely where we had planned, which is in a closet where the mains water enters the house. All it needs is a supply of block salt, approximately one block per household member per month, which is

about £70 a year for our family of three.

I spend that just on washing liquid over the course of a year!

It’s now three months since our water softener was installed.

The installation was smooth and efficient, and I’m so pleased with the results I’ve recommended it to my brother and sister-in-law.

It has revolutionised my housework, reducing the number of cleaning products I need. I can now run the washing machine and the dish washer on quicker, more efficient programs, using half the amount of detergent. Glasses rinsed under the tap look clean when dry, rather than water marked. My new shower sparkles as it did before it came into contact with hard water, and is now much easier to clean. All I need now is an appliance that will do the same for my son’s bedroom!

Just before Christmas we had to replace our washing machine, but I did it knowing that the lifespan of the new one would be much improved.” ~ Debbie Want to find out more and book a FREE no obligation demonstration, call 01233 225665 or visit www.harvey.co.uk

Home & Interiors Make The Most Of A Small Kitchen

By Katherine Sorrell

EATING AND ENTERTAINING Even in a tiny kitchen, it’s always a good idea to try fit in somewhere to eat and drink. Fold-down tables might work, or perhaps there is room for a small dining table – if it extends for extra guests, so much the better. Or you could add a breakfast bar by forming an ‘L’ shape at the end of a run of worktop, adding a couple of high stools that can tuck underneath when not in use.

Bingo! An eat-in kitchen.

12

They may be small but they can be perfectly formed: the tiniest of kitchen spaces is often extremely efficient – you can wash, slice and cook almost without moving at all. And although the sky’s the limit when it comes to spending on kitchens – even diminuitive ones – if you’re on a shoestring you can create a practical and attractive galley kitchen for very little money, writes Katherine Sorrell.

PLANNING THE ROOM In a small kitchen every centimetre counts, and the first principle of design is the ‘work triangle’ – the movement between the three main areas of activity: cooker, sink and fridge. Each zone should be self-contained, with its own storage and worktop space, but it should also be easy to move between each one. The best way to ensure this is to draw a floor plan with lines connecting each point on the triangle, and avoid

placing any obstructions (such as tall cupboards) between them.

The theory goes that the most efficient length for each side of the triangle is a double-arm span or about two metres. In practice, however, it is rarely possible to create an absolutely equal triangle, and what matters more is that the three work centres aren’t uncomfortably close or too far apart. In a double galley, keep the sink and cooker on the same side, with the fridge pretty much opposite. In a single galley, you can’t create a triangle at all, but its linear shape means that it’s very easy to use anyway, as long as you don’t make the line too long.

Aim to have tall cupboards at one end, then the hob nearby, and the maximum amount of worktop space between the hob and the sink, with the dishwasher next to the sink at the other end. Add a rubbish bin under the sink and, if you have room, add a pull-out larder to store food.

CHOOSING UNITS & WORKTOPS Mixing textures and colours in the kitchen is a growing trend, and top fashion picks at present include metallics, marble and rough, tough industrial accents.

Deep worktops and open shelving will update a kitchen of any size, but what matters most in any kitchen is quality. You can find more or less any look at more or less any price - but you do get what you pay for. Check the quality of the carcass: cheaper ones are made from chipboard, sometimes with just hardboard backs, which may be fine if all you want is a budget option. But for a well-used kitchen that you want to last a number of years, opt for plywood or MDF veneer, the thicker the better. Laminate worktops are the budget choice – choose high-pressure rather than low-pressure ones, as they’re more durable. Wooden worktops can also be inexpensive, but avoid ones that are too cheap or too thin, especially if you’re installing them next to a sink, as they’ll just warp and buckle. Splashbacks are often made from the same

material as the worktop, though if cost is an issue you could opt for a cheaper alternative, such as ceramic tiles, tongue and groove painted with tough gloss, or a fashionable sheet of clear or coloured acrylic.

cupboards • When it comes to appliances, choose multi-functional, compact, slimline, built-in and stacking versions • Reflective and/or transparent surfaces and pale colours make the room seem bigger • Base cabinets on legs or recessed plinths allow you to see more floor • Avoid visual confusion by sticking to ultra-plain cabinet fronts with either no handles or very discreet ones • Larger-than-average floor tiles make the floor seem larger

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR SPACE WITH THESE IDEAS • Fit wall cupboards that go right up to the ceiling, storing littleused items right at the top • Sliding doors are ideal as they don’t intrude into the room • ‘Magic’ corner cupboards (with special mechanisms that let you get to the stuff at the back) allow you to fit more in • Wall-hung racking systems let you see what you’ve got while still storing it in an organised fashion • Pull-out shelving and slim drawers (eg in the plinth) all add extra storage space • Internal fittings help organise

Chicken in Red Wine Serves 4

Ready in 1 hour 15 minutes This is a quick, easy and flavoursome way to serve chicken. Use a full-bodied red wine such as a Burgundy for the best flavour, although there is no need to buy a really pricy one!

14

Ingredients: • 2 tbsp olive oil • 600g skinless chicken breast fillets, cut into chunks • 225g button mushrooms • 200g shallots, peeled • 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed • 300ml red wine • 200ml chicken or vegetable stock • 2 tbsp sun-dried tomato puree • 1 bay leaf • 2tbsp cornflour • Sprigs of fresh parsley to garnish • Sautéed potatoes and steamed green beans, to serve

TIP

This dish freezes well, so it’s worth doubling up the quantities to freeze away half for another day. Allow to cool completely then spoon into a shallow freezer-proof container and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost thoroughly then reheat in a flameproof casserole until piping hot.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chicken chunks and fry for 4-5 minutes, turning frequently until golden brown all over. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Add the button mushrooms and shallots to the pan and fry for 5 minutes until just beginning to brown. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute then return the chicken to the pan and stir in the red wine, stock, tomato puree and bay leaf.

Bring to the boil then reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken and onions are tender.

Blend the cornflour and 2 tbsp water to a smooth paste then stir the paste into the pan. Simmer gently for further 2-3 minutes, stirring all the time, until the liquid has thickened. Serve with sautéed potatoes and steamed green beans and garnish with parsley sprigs.

Cake and Bake Iced Orange Bundt Cake This delicious citrus flavoured sponge is made in a classic ring-shaped bundt tin. You’ll find them in most good cook shops and larger supermarkets, or you can use an ordinary 1.5L capacity ring mould tin instead.

Ingredients: 16

• 300g self-raising flour,

plus extra for dusting • 200g caster sugar • 3 large eggs, beaten • 1/2 tsp baking powder • Finely grated zest of 1 large orange • 100ml fresh orange juice • 100-150ml milk FOR THE ICING • 100g icing sugar • Approx 2 tbsp fresh orange juice

Serves 10 Ready in 1 hour 30 minutes, plus cooling and setting times

1. Preheat the oven to 170C, 325F, Gas 3. Thoroughly grease a 22-23cm Bundt tin (measured across the top) with butter then lightly dust with flour, tipping out the excess.

2. Put the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat

together until pale and creamy. Gradually beat in the eggs, then sift over the flour and baking powder and fold in along with the orange zest and juice. Fold in enough of the milk to give a soft dropping consistency.

3. Spoon the cake mixture into the prepared tin and gently

level the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 4050 minutes, or until the cake is risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes then carefully turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

4. For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl then beat

in the orange juice to make a smooth and thick icing.

Drizzle the icing over the top of the cake, letting it drizzle down the sides. Leave in a cool place until set.

TIP

Make sure to grease and flour the bundt tin thoroughly or you may find it tricky to turn the cake out. Use the tip of a small palette knife or silicon spatula to gently loosen the edges of the cake first.

La Boheme at Tenterden

St Mildred’s Church Sunday 6th March 7:00 pm Once again the Merry Opera Company starts the Friends of St Mildred’s events season with an opera that will entertain, amuse and move the audience. This year they are bringing Puccini’s La Boheme to Tenterden.

La Boheme is considered by many Puccini’s finest score, and since the opera is laid in the Parisian Latin Quarter, home of student gaity and pathos, it laughs as well as weeps.

The Merry Opera Company has always given us an approachable and entertaining production, and their La Boheme has a light touch of comedy which sparkles with merriment, then offers the depth and eloquence of love.

Tickets are sold in the High Street at The Three Bears, formerly Smiths’s Florist, and we have been given the following thoughts: “Goildilocks tried sitting through Daddy Bear’s favourite opera – but Siegfried was way too long’ So she tried Mummy Bear’s favourite, Cavelleria rusticana – but to be honest, it was just a bit on the short side.

Then Goildilocks tried Baby Bear’s favourite, La Boheme __ and it was just right.”

Community Events are free of charge to list Please send your events to events@thevillagedirectory.co.uk

Come to St Mildred’s on Sunday 6th March, at 7:00 Buy your tickets from The Three Bears, friendsofstmildreds@gmail.com, or 01580 764620

Dividend Taxation And Other Changes To Tax Laws in 2016/17 By Ann Haldon > 38.1% (in the additional rate band) People with a low dividend income will see a reduction in their tax bill, but the new measures are likely to hit familyrun small businesses the hardest.

24

A change to the dividend taxation laws is to be implemented from April 2016. Pension and ISA dividends will not be affected by the new regime and will remain free of tax, but the new dividend rules are likely to have an adverse effect on directors and shareholders of small incorporated companies.

The new proposals will reportedly bring in an extra £2.54 billion in revenue for the 2016/17 tax year,�with smaller amounts continuing to bolster the public purse in future years. The changes are an effort by the government to equalise tax laws for those who run unincorporated businesses.

Here’s a summary of the changes to be introduced • A maximum annual Dividend Allowance of £5,000 is to come into force (after taking the personal allowance into account) • The existing 10% notional Dividend Tax Credit will be scrapped • Dividends over the £5,000 annual limit will be taxed at the following rates: > 7.5% on dividend income in the basic rate band > 32.5% (for the higher rate band)

So why has the Treasury decided to overhaul the current system?

The government is attempting to discourage tax-motivated incorporation, which means setting up a business as a limited company simply to enjoy a lower rate of tax on income.

In the past, directors/shareholders of a limited company have been able to take a small salary from their business, which attracted enough tax to maintain their entitlement to the state pension.

The government’s objection, however, is that company profits are then used to extract a further dividend taxed at the much lower rate of 10%.

Strong objections from the business community With the inherent difficulties facing small businesses, fears have been expressed that the government is making it much harder for people in business to survive financially. This includes both individual contractors who have incorporated their businesses, and family-run companies.

In fact, an online petition has been started, objecting to these new rules. Company directors/shareholders say that the rewards of low dividend taxation compensated for the long hours and risks they took when starting their business, and

that their overall contribution to the economy needs to be more widely acknowledged by the government.

Are there any other changes to UK taxation in the forthcoming financial year?

Other announcements made in last year’s Budget include: • Pension tax relief changes - Restrictions on pension tax relief for those with an income of £150,000 or more will come into force from April 2016. A fixed rate of 33% will apply for all in the new tax year, regardless of the rate band.

• Savings interest - Said to be an acknowledgement of recent poor returns for savers, George Osborne also announced in last year’s budget that savings interest of up to £1,000 will no longer be taxed.

• Digital tax accounts - The ‘account’ will be similar to online banking in that details on how much is owed will be available to view at any time, and taxpayers will be able to make payments throughout the financial year rather than meeting a specific deadline.

These are all significant changes to taxation laws in the UK, and are set to bring in considerable sums for the Treasury, but the new dividend tax rules seem to be attracting the most concern and criticism. �http://www.itcontracting.com/newdividend-tax-april-2016/
