Welcome to the village directory Hi everyone, Welcome to the March Edition, I hope you are all well. As I write I’m looking out of the window across our flooded garden, feeling extremely relieved that our home has not been flooded. It came so close, in fact it came to the threshold of our back door, but the rain stopped and the water receded. My heart goes out to anyone attempting to pick up the pieces following flood damage. I’ve been in that position on more than one occasion, it’s heart breaking. Once it’s happened, you face each new year with the fear of it happening again, no matter what protection you’ve put in place. Judging by the state of my garden, it might be an idea to add Ark Construction to my business plan! We’ve certainly had more than 40 days and 40 nights worth of rain, but thankfully not all in one go! I sincerely hope that by the time you read this we are able to say that spring is on the way. If not, some of us will begin to develop webbed feet! On a lighter note, please don’t forget Mother’s Day this month, as if you would! It’s a little later in the month this year, on the 30th, so don’t be caught out.They say there’s nothing like a woman’s scorn, and if she happens to be your mum you will be left with some serious making up to do for the rest of the year! It doesn’t take much, chocolate does the trick for me, and as my husband has the job of checking this magazine every month, I know the message will be received by my son, even if it has to be by carrier pigeon - the only thing likely to want to venture into his bedroom! Until next time have a great month.

Garden of Delights How tech can take the grunt out of gardening

It’s that time of year again: spring has sprung and the grass has started to rise. While robot lawnmowers haven’t quite reached bargain basement prices just yet - a robo-mower such as Husquvarna’s Automower 305G has an RRP of £1,399, and even the cheapest online shops charge around £850 - technology can still help: firms such as Bosch, Greenworks and Mountfield all offer batterypowered lawnmowers that offer the convenience of cable-free mowing without the noise, smell and hassleof petrol engines. Prices range from just over £200 to around £500. What’s even easier than a cordless mower? That’s right: grass that you don’t have to mow in the first place. Hi-tech turf (www.hitechturf. co.uk) looks like grass and feels like grass, but it’s entirely artificial - and if you have terrible memories of plasticky, jaggy artificial turf you’ll be relieved to discover that this is a very different proposition. For around £29 per square metre (for HT Luxury) you can lay a lawn that looks just like the real thing without any of the work. If your budget’s a bit more limited then there are more affordable options including a budget artificial turf at £7.99 per square metre. Lawns aren’t the only places where technology can make life easier. Battery power has reached the point where it’s good enough for

Is it possible to divorce amicably? In the latest in a regular series on legal matters, Laura Hails, Head of the Family Department at Pengelly & Rylands, talks about divorce. It is a sad truth that this time of year sees an increase in the number of couples considering divorce or separation. If divorce seems to be the only option, we believe that it is in the best interests of all concerned to try to go about it as amicably as possible, especially if there are children involved.
8
Either party to the marriage can petition for divorce, and there is only one ground on which to base a petition and that is ‘the irretrievable breakdown of the marriage’. This must be supported by a more detailed reason, known as a ‘fact’. To divorce immediately, there must be some allegation of fault by one party (the Petitioner) against the other (the Respondent), such as adultery or unreasonable behaviour. Often clients are reluctant to make allegations of fault, preferring to try to sort matters out as amicably as possible. The only way to avoid the issue of fault is to separate and then wait for two years before petitioning for a divorce, as long as the other party agrees to it. Financial issues and matters relating to children can, however, be resolved upon separation, without having to wait for the two years to expire. Not everyone wishes to wait for two years for a divorce, in which case an allegation of fault is the only way to progress. However, the Law Society and the family law organisation Resolution, are keen to try to avoid unnecessary hostility between parties, by suggesting that the Petitioner should try to keep the allegations as mild as possible and to allow the Respondent to see the allegations and, if they wish, take legal advice. As a member of Resolution, we are committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes, considering the needs of the whole family. We believe that by encouraging communication between parties from the outset and trying to establish a reasonable level of compromise, it is more likely that a mutually acceptable
Laura Hails– Chartered Legal Executive outcome can be reached for both parties, both financially and, most importantly, for any children of the family. If you are concerned about the costs of getting advice, we offer no obligation, fixed fee appointments for new clients. This could be helpful if you just want to know where you stand and what your options are. We understand that, sometimes, that first step can seem daunting, but we are here to help. So if you would like some initial, independent legal advice about divorce and separation, please feel free to call Amy, secretary to the family department, for more information, on 01580 762248

AXA/DMI Exhibition of U19 Land to the West of Highfield Lane, Sevington
• •
The developers AXA/DMI are holding a final exhibition of their amended plans, including two 40,000 sq m warehouses on the land west of Highfield Lane. This is our last opportunity to view the plans before they apply for planning permission, probably at the end of March. The Exhibition will take place on Wednesday 5th March from 15.00 to 20.00 at the Hobbs Parker Amos Hall at Ashford Market. This time they have promised there will be a full developer and professional team in attendance to discuss the proposals.

Gateway to Ashford – is this the right development, offering the right jobs for Ashford? Extra traffic – to J10, Church Road Sevington, and an upgraded Highfield Lane, which will be closed to A20 and leading onto single track Kingsford Street. This would create a rat run through Church Road Sevington, Highfield Lane and Kingsford Street to the centre of Mersham. Air Pollution – proximity of development and J10a slip road to dwellings Noise pollution – traffic: lorries/fork lift trucks reversing 24/7 Light pollution - street lighting, particularly on Highfield Lane, which will be visible from Church Lane, Mersham Screening - Height of warehouses – again visible from Church Lane Strategic Gap – a green buffer is needed to protect the villages from encroaching development.

Tax Free!
The Government do not often provide taxfree incentives, however, since 1991 they have tried to encourage people to save money by offering tax-free savings and investments. For some reason, not all savers are taking advantage of their Individual Savings Account (ISA). There are a lot of misconceptions about ISAs which is why I believe many savers are missing out on this opportunity. With the ISA season approaching, I thought I would clarify some of the common errors.
10
You can have an ISA every tax year because it is an annual allowance. The money within an ISA does not have to be locked away and you can have access to the capital. Furthermore, your money does not have to be invested in Stocks and Shares. You can invest a lump sum but also you can make payments on a regular basis. Saving each month can be incredibly effective as you will soon start to build up a valuable pot of money for your future. The total ISA allowance for 2014/15 will be £11,880. This is the maximum amount that an individual (over the age of 18) can put into an ISA during the tax year. The allowance can be split into two components – a Cash ISA and an Investment ISA (often referred to as a Stocks and Shares ISA). In 2014/15, the maximum contribution into a Cash ISA is £5,940. As we approach the beginning of the new tax year, we should see an increase in Cash ISA rates as the banks and building societies compete to attract your savings. Reviewing the interest rate on your Cash ISA is really important because often the rate will drop after a fixed period. When this happens, transfer your existing ISA to a new account which pays a higher rate of interest. March and April are usually the best time to do this exercise as rates are generally higher. Try to make sure that you are always getting a competitive rate. The banks will happily leave your money earning just 0.5% unless you take action!
If you would like to invest your money over the longer term, an Investment ISA may be appropriate. Your capital can be invested in lots of different assets such as property, corporate bonds and company shares which could potentially offer greater growth when compared to a deposit account. Again, regular reviews are important. If you already have Investment ISAs, we can help you to check where your capital is invested and if those investments remain competitive. In 2014/15, the maximum contribution for an Investment ISA is £11,880 although this will be reduced if you decide to utilise your Cash ISA. Another tax-free allowance to consider is the Junior ISA. These accounts were introduced in November 2011 and they are a great way for Parents and Grandparents to save for their children’s future. Furthermore, the usual restrictions for parental gifts to minor children do not apply which means they are incredibly tax efficient. The allowance for 2014/15 will be increasing to £3,840. To discuss the features of ISAs in more detail and for help with managing your existing plans, contact us on 01233 621066.

Honeyed Florida Serves 4 Grapefruit with Pancetta, Goats Cheese & Pine Nuts Serves 4
Recipe provided by Liz McClarnon, Food Ambassador for The Kings Head, Wye.
Salads are synonymous with summer. Adding fruit to salad is a great way to boost 5-a-day (studies show we eat less fruit in summer!). Leaves alone won’t give you 5-a-day usually (they’re very light). Our starter has 1 of 5-a-day thanks to it containing Florida grapefruit. Sun-drenched foods like Florida grapefruit will remind us of warmer longer days, which seem a long way away.
Ingredients: 14
• 6 slices pancetta • 2tbsp olive oil. • 2 small knobs butter • 4-5tsp honey • 1 Florida grapefruit, peeled and segmented by hand (not a knife)
• 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar • 2 tsp Dijon mustard • Handful of pine nuts • Salt and pepper • Bag of salad leaves • 150g goat’s cheese, sliced
Fry the pancetta in 1tbsp of the oil in a pan until nice and crispy, then place onto kitchen paper to drain off any excess oil. Wipe out the same pan with more kitchen paper to get rid of the excess oil. Add the remaining oil, 1 small knob of the butter and about 2-3tsp honey. Mix it up a little, then add the Florida grapefruit segments to the pan (they need to be in their original segments and not cut to prevent them falling apart when cooking). Stir and make sure they are coated and caramelised (that should take about 4 min), then add 1tbsp of the balsamic vinegar. Put the segments to one side so you can use the pan again. To the pan, add the remaining knob of butter, the remaining balsamic vinegar, the Dijon mustard, the remaining 2tsp honey, the pine nuts and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix everything together and heat through for about 2 min. Make up the salad: cut the pancetta into bite-sized pieces. Place the salad leaves onto four plates, then add the caramelised Florida grapefruit, the goat’s cheese, the pancetta and pour over the dressing to serve.

The History of Trench Watches by Ryan at www.fullywound.co.uk This is the second of a two part article. While German troops at this time were largely issued the more primitive “pocket watch” design, Allied troops had a wide range of new models to choose from. Many examples featured small silver pocket watch cases fitted with leather straps and displayed radiumilluminated porcelain dials protected by the aforementioned shrapnel guards.
24
Wristwatches were no longer considered a novelty but were now a wartime necessity, and companies were scrambling to keep up with the demand. One company that enjoyed success during this time was Wilsdorf & Davis, Ltd., founded in 1905, and later renamed The Rolex Watch Company, Ltd., in 1915. Hans Wilsdorf, the founder and director of Rolex, was a strong proponent of wristwatches since the turn of the century. While others scoffed at them, Wilsdorf continued to experiment with their accuracy and reliability. Thus, some would argue that he did more for their advancement than anyone in history. In fact, he is even credited with sending the first wristwatches to the Neuchatel Observatory (Switzerland), for accuracy testing. They all passed the rigorous battery of tests, which encouraged Wilsdorf to push them even further. Rolex subsequently received the very first wristwatch Chronometer awards from the School of Horology in Bienne (1910), and the Class “A” Certificate of Precision from the Kew Observatory in England (1914). To this day, Rolex watches consistently receive more Chronometer Certificates from the Contrôle
Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), than every other watch company in the world, combined. After the Great War, many soldiers returned home with souvenir trench watches - so named for the trench warfare in which they were used. When these war heroes were seen wearing them, the public’s perception quickly changed, and wristwatches were no longer deemed as feminine. After all, no one would dare consider these brave men as being anything but. In the final years of the war, wristwatches began to see numerous improvements. Case makers like Francis Baumgartner, Borgel and Dennison introduced revolutionary designs, which aided in making them more resistant to water and dust. These designs were later improved on when Rolex introduced the first truly waterproof wristwatch, the Oyster, in 1926.
