E N J OY THE CHALLENGE
Welcome to the village directory Hi everyone, March not only represents the onset of spring but also brings Mother’s Day, this year on the 10th. For my mum it used to be a particularly special month, her birthday was the 7th March and then Mother’s Day would usually follow about a week later. So she had two full weeks of non-stop adoration and love poured upon her. Not that the adoration and love should ever stop, it’s just that with the busy lives we lead, it’s easy to take our loved ones slightly for granted, until a special day comes along to make us focus on what they mean to us. Although my mum is no longer around, in my heart March will always belong to her, but these days I can share a little of it with her, that is if my son cottons on to the hints that I leave for him, usually he has no idea what day of the week it is, let alone the month and date! So, don’t forget your mum this month, all it takes is a big hug and a kiss to let her know how you
feel, although chocolates, flowers or both are much appreciated too. I know it’s too early to be certain but I really hope the worst of the winter weather is now behind us. I can’t wait to start spending time in the garden. If your garden is anything like mine it’s probably looking a bit worse for wear and needs a good dose of TLC. Don’t forget, if time is limited, or if it’s a task you’re really not inspired by, you’ll find plenty of help within these pages. Have a great month.

The Garden Shed March
4
By Jo Arnell
like having a haircut or vacuuming a room goes a long way towards making things look tidy and, if you don’t know where to start in the garden, cutting the grass is a good place. There is a whole spring regime recommended for keeping the lawn lovely, but I shan’t be troubling you with it. The garden centres seem to have a myriad of products on sale to improve the lawn – I never buy them because I imagine they’ll make the grass really healthy – and that will make it grow even faster. The only thing I occasionally do is aerate it, or at least the bits that get a lot of wear and tear, as compacted soil deprives the roots of oxygen and will eventually kill it. Grass does like a fair amount of sun. You can buy shady lawn seed, but remember that the type of grass used for shade tends to be finer and less hard wearing than a rugged rye grass, so it will never look quite as lush and thick.
•
There will also be more weeds, as we couldn’t get out to pull them up in all the wet weather.
•
Prune Dogwoods and willows (which have benefitted from the wet).
•
Plant early potatoes, onion sets and summer flowering bulbs.
•
Divide and replant overgrown clumps of perennials.
•
Sow annual seeds under cover and later in the month start sowing directly, but only if conditions allow – they will rot if in cold, damp soil.

Seasonal Delights Lemon Chicken with Tabbouleh Serves 4
Ready in 45 minutes
This is a great way to turn simple and very economical chicken portions into a delicious Mediterranean-style supper. If you have time, make the tabbouleh a few hours in advance to let the flavours fully develop. 12
Ingredients: • 1 lemon, thinly sliced • 4 large chicken thigh portions (or 8 small thigh portions) • 4 tbsp olive oil • 3 tbsp lemon juice • 2 tbsp clear honey, warmed • 225g bulgar wheat (see tip) • ½ cucumber, finely diced • 4 spring onions, trimmed and finely chopped • 2 tbsp fresh chopped mint • 2 tbsp fresh chopped coriander • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Tip: Bulgar wheat is a type of wheat grain that has been parboiled, dried then finely crushed. It is similar to couscous but has more texture and bite. You’ll find it in most large supermarkets or health food shops.
Preheat the oven to 190C, 375F, Gas 5. Push a lemon slice under the skin of each chicken thigh. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan and fry the chicken over a medium-high heat until golden brown all over. Transfer to a shallow roasting tin and arrange the rest of the lemon slices around the chicken. Mix together 1 tbsp of the lemon juice with the honey and pour over the chicken. Roast for 20-25 minutes until cooked through. Meanwhile, place the bulgar wheat into a bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave for 30 minutes until grains are soft. Stir well and drain off any excess water. Stir in the rest of the olive oil and lemon juice and season with plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the cucumber, spring onions, mint and coriander and mix well. Serve the hot roast chicken on the tabbouleh with any juices from the roasting tin poured over.

Are You Running The Risk Of Outliving Your Savings? In a world of low interest rates, volatile markets and increasing life expectancy, the State Pension provides a limited income (currently £5,587 for a single person,per annum, based on a full NI record), it falls drastically short of providing a comfortable lifestyle.
JAMIE WELLER WEALTH MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT
Mastermind your financial future I provide an experienced wealth management service and offer specialist advice in a wide range of areas including:
x Investment growth x Retirement planning x Inheritance Tax planning x Protection planning
So how do we avoid poverty in retirement? For further details contact Jamie Weller on:
First, decide how large a fund you will need. One method is to multiply your target retirement income by 25. So, if you think you’ll need £25,000 a year, aim for a fund of £625,000.

Next, select the most appropriate investment vehicles to achieve your goal.

Property, Investment Bonds and ISAs have all proved popular over recent years but don’t offer the same tax breaks or guarantees as a pension. Be sure to take advice from a financial professional, and remember, retirement funds are coming under increasing pressure from the fact that we’re living longer. In 1981, a person’s pension was expected to last them for 13 years. Now it needs to last 18 years.* So where £100,000 provided an annual income of £6,250 in 1981, £137,500 is required today to achieve the same income. So what are your best income options? You can exchange your pension pot for a guaranteed annual income called an annuity. They are fixed for life but can be linked to inflation and provide your partner with an income when you pass away. The annuity rate offered by the life assurer is affected by the prevailing yield on gilts and corporate bonds. Annuity rates have recently been falling. Nevertheless, it is imperative to exercise the Open Market Option – your right to compare annuity rates in the market – before making a decision. An alternative to an annuity is income drawdown which seeks a superior return by investing in assets such as stocks and

shares. With recent market volatility they have not performed well but bear in mind markets will, eventually, bounce back. Deciding how you take your pension benefits is complex and necessitates professional advice.

Making Use of Wye Whilst schools closed across the county, Spring Grove remained open during the recent snow. Just a little preparation beforehand – our resident gap students and I salted our hazardously sloping entrance drive and built a uniformed snowman to welcome the children arriving at school – ensured that we were ready for another busy week.

the churchyard ready for the Remembrance Service, in which three of our young trumpeters played The Last Post. We were recently surprised and of course delighted that the pupils had been given a special School Community Award by the High Sheriff of Kent, Mike Bax, who has led a campaign to serve our communities by keeping them free of litter.
Our pupils enjoy a busy and broad academic programme but also benefit from making full use of our rural community. Classes visit the church, the Chinese restaurant and even the pub! We go out to the lifeboat station at Dungeness, we visit castles and the Cathedral in Canterbury. We enjoy visits to local farms and learn about the crops, the animals and environmental issues.
Education that goes beyond the confines of the classroom undoubtedly broadens horizons and encourages children to appreciate their rich, local, rural heritage.
