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 and thanking God that the flood water has not reached our house. My heart goes out to anyone attempting to pick up the pieces following flood damage to their home. I’ve been there myself 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. Following this winter maybe Ark Construction will be revived as a viable business idea, we’ve certainly had more than 40 days and 40 nights worth of rain! I sincerely hope that by the time you read this we are able to say that spring is on the way. If not, we will all develop webbed feet! 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 transmitted to my son, even if it has to be by carrier pigeon - the only thing that’s 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 hassle of 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 seriously demanding garden tasks. Black & Decker will happily sell you battery-powered chainsaws, pruning saws and loppers. The batteries deliver plenty of oomph - the chainsaw will power through up to 150 3.5cm branches before it runs out of puff - but boffins have yet to invent a device that ensures we remember to charge the power tools before we actually need them. More modest gardening can benefit from gadgetry too. Hozelock’s auto-watering system sticks a timer onto your tap, turning it on and off at the times you program, and options range from a simple sprinkler to an entire micro-irrigation system. Some timers even have rain sensors that mean they won’t turn on the tap if the weather forecast turned out to be overly optimistic. Not all gardening gadgets need electricity to function. The iconic Leatherman multi-tool isn’t exactly cheap, but its products and their many imitators - offer a huge range of tools in one handy gadget. For example the Leatherman Charge AL includes two kinds of pliers, a knife, a saw and a serrated knife, a wood and metal file, wire cutters and wire strippers.
If you find gardening is, literally, a pain, it’s worth taking a look at the range of gardening tools made by Radius Garden, whose slogan is “Garden more. Hurt less.” The odd-looking tools have been designed with ergonomic grips to make them more comfortable and less likely to aggravate repetitive strain injuries, and the range includes trowels, forks, transplanters, weeders and cultivators. Expect to pay around £9 for each individual tool or around £30 for a set of four. If taking the grunting out of gardening sounds like something you’d like to do, you might also want to consider a device such as Fiskar’s Weed Puller (currently £25), which is designed to remove weeds without using chemicals or wrecking your lower back: it’s a long L-shaped stick containing deep-reaching stainless steel claws that effortlessly grab weeds by the roots. It might not be an exciting robot mower but anything that helps with a hard day’s weeding sounds like a great gadget to us.

Do you love Creme Brulee? Are you partial to the odd tipple of Baileys? Well you will love this recipe. Along with my husband I dined at the Bell Inn this month, the meal was impeccable. This was my choice of dessert, and as far as I’m concerned it is to die for! Darren very kindly offered the recipe to share with our readers.

Heat the cream, chocolate and vanilla in a pan until the chocolate has melted.
• 600ml double cream
Take off the heat and add the Baileys. • 100g good quality white

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. 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 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

Beauty Designer vs. Budget Beauty Buys
By Helen Taylor one that’s perfect for you. Blusher is definitely one of those items that you can save on, because high-end products don’t differ too greatly from budget versions. Just make sure that you choose a natural shade, as cheaper colours can be a little more intense and unnatural if applied too heavily. Try No7 Natural Blush Tint Powder £8.00.

Do you love designer cosmetics? Or do you much prefer a bargain buy? Whatever your preference, it’s worth checking out our guide to when to splurge and when to save, so that you can get the best value - and results - from the products you spend your hard-earned cash on. Foundation - Splurge Foundation literally provides the foundation for the rest of your make-up. It evens out your natural skin and covers up flaws - like blemishes and scars - to leave you with a perfect finish. So it’s very important to choose the right one for you. Cheap products just can’t beat their costly counterparts when it comes to this all-important purchase, because poorer formulations don’t have the staying power and the true-toskin colour of pricier versions. To find the one that’s ideal for you, head to your nearest department store and take advantage of
some expert advice. Find a shade which matches your natural colouring and works best for your requirements - like skin type and coverage. High-end foundations are formulated with all of these things in mind and come in a variety of true-to-life shades. Built to solve the problems presented by cheap foundations, these products really are a cut above the others. Try Estee Lauder Double Wear £28.50. Blusher - Save Everyone needs a bit of colour in their cheeks; fortunately you don’t have to spend too much to find the
Mascara - Splurge Full, long lashes really do make your eyes look more beautiful, so it’s worth investing in a quality mascara. Cheap mascara is often disappointing because its consistency doesn’t match that of more expensive products, and so leaves lashes looking sticky, clumpy and undefined. High-end cosmetic companies lead the way in developing the very best formulas and brushes for their mascara, so you can be sure that you’ll see the benefits when you upgrade from a budget brand. Try Givenchy Noir Couture Waterproof Mascara £22.50. Eyeshadow - Save Generally you can opt for wearing cheaper eyeshadow as there isn’t too much difference between budget and more costly versions; as long as you choose neutral shades, as stronger colours can be very harsh and unnatural looking. Cheap eyeshadow does have a tendency to be more glittery and shimmery though, so be careful using it if you’re a more mature lady because it will emphasise every line and crease around your eyes. Try Bourjois Little Round Pot Intense Eyeshadow £6.99.
health & beauty Powder - Splurge Like foundation, there is a real difference between budget and high-end face powder. Expensive products are finely milled, making their texture extra soft and natural looking on the skin, whilst cheaper versions won’t last as long or match your skin tone well. A good powder sets your foundation and finishes your make-up look, so make sure you splurge and invest in a quality one. Try Guerlain Les Voilettes Compact Powder £35.
Lip-gloss - Save Lip-gloss formulations are pretty similar, so save some money when you buy yours. There are literally hundreds of colours and flavours to choose from and all of them will instantly serve to plump up your lips. Try those with a brush rather than the rub on type as these are said to be gentler and less damaging on the lips. Try Barry M Lip-gloss Wand £4.49.
A good quality highlighter will perk up your complexion, accentuate your favourite features, and even camouflage aging skin. There are many different ones on the market some are in powder form, others liquid – but find the right one and your face will be instantly lifted with a radiant and youthful glow. And if there’s one product that you really should splurge on, it’s YSL’s Touche Eclat Radiant Touch £25.

The cars we supply are prepared to the very highest standards. When you visit our showroom we are able to log on to the Motability website and using our customer friendly dual screen, show full details including pictures and service history. Each car is carefully inspected inside and out by experienced staff to ensure they are supplied in as perfect condition as possible. Here our customers are able to order the model and colour they want with an anticipated delivery time of 21 days. As you would expect from a family business established for 48years, all dealer facilities are available, including part exchange and competitive finance. We encourage you to visit our showroom where Sales Manager Phil Cunningham looks forward to assisting you.
