Welcome Hi everyone, Welcome to the November issue, I hope you all remembered to set your clocks back for the winter season. Apparently the Anglo-Saxons called November ‘Wind-monath’ or Wind Month, as it was the time when the cold winds began to blow and certainly as I am writing this the wind is blowing a gale outside, let’s hope winter won’t be quite as long and severe as it was last year.

Ground Cover Ground cover plantings are a wonderful way to create gorgeous carpets of colour in your garden, whatever its size and wherever it’s located. But what’s so special about groundcover growing, when is it most useful and when should you start? by Pippa Greenwood
4
The initial few months will take some effort, but once growing well, most ground cover planting needs little if any maintenance except perhaps a very occasional trim, some food and water in drier weather. It has a superbly smothering effect on the weeds, killing weedlings and deterring further weeds from appearing. The denser the groundcover planting, the better the effect. Autumn is a great time for planting. Trees, shrubs, climbers and herbaceous plants that go in to the ground at this time of year often establish extremely well as they have the luxury of enjoying the relatively warm and yet moist soil, a perfect place for new roots to grow out and establish rapidly. Make sure you invest a bit of time and effort in to the preparation. Clear the area of weeds, digging out all tough weeds completely if you can. Fork the soil over, removing debris such as large stones or buried rubbish and then fork in plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost, and perhaps a little slow-release feed too. If you’re planting up a slope, it’s worth trying to secure the soil a little too, as all that preparation and weed clearing will have loosened the surface and made it prone to erosion. Once growing well the roots of the plants will help to secure the slope brilliantly, but in the meantime,
use landscape fabric pinned down onto the surface of the slope. Don’t be tempted to cram the plants in too closely. Given time they will form the desired effect if planted at the correct spacing. But if you fall in to the trap of planting them elbow to elbow, then they are more likely to become stressed and miserable, more prone to disease and will need thinning out. Make sure the plants are kept just moist at the roots until they’re well established and feed occasionally. By choosing varieties of plants which are recommended for use as groundcover you’ll be unlikely to have to do much if any pruning. So what should you choose to grow? Foliage that is attractive and interesting makes a wonderful groundcover planting and if you wish you can add a few more flamboyant flowering plants to the mixture too. By using plants with interestingly shaped leaves or variegated leaves your leafy planting will look even better. If you want a reasonable effect all year around, then select at least some of the plants you use from the evergreens. These may lose their leaves, but they do so gradually so you’ll never be left with totally bare soil. Great Shrubby Groundcover Ideas Heaths and Heathers, Cotoneaster horizontalis and Cotoneaster microphyllus, Stephandra incise ‘Crispa’, groundcover roses eg the
‘Flower Carpet’ roses. Great Shade-Tolerant groundcover Ideas Sarcococca hookeriana var. humilis, Mahonia repens, Gaultheria procumbens, Hypericum calycinum, many hebes including Hebe pinguifolia, Euonymus fortune cultivars such as ‘Emerald n’Gold’, ‘Emerald Gaiety’ Herbaceous Ground Cover in Shadier Spots Sweet violets, pulmonaria (lungworts) eg the white-flowered ‘Sissinghurst’, Bugle (the ajugas eg Ajuga reptans ‘Burgundy Glow’), Lysimachia nummularia (Creeping Jenny), Lily-of-the-valley, Lamium ‘White Nancy’ and Lamium ‘Silver Beacon’, Bergenia Sunnier Groundcover Snow-in-summer, thymes, oregano, many of the sedums, chamomile.

Extreme Watches When a watch is just not a time piece: On March 18th 1952 explorers Raymond Lambert and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay set a new altitude record when they climbed to within touching distance of the summit of Mount Everest. They missed out by just 660 feet (200 metres). They stopped as they were suffocating due to climbing without the aid of oxygen. A year later they returned with John Hunt and Sir Edmund Hillary, this time they reached the summit at 29,035 feet on May 29th 1953. During these historic climbs, many of the climbers were known to be wearing Rolex Oyster Perpetual Chronometers.
The watches were very important to a climber because by timing their ascent they could measure their oxygen use; and quite literally bet their lives on the accuracy of these watches. There was a twist to this story as Rolex had spent a vast amount of money on advertising that theirs would be the first watch to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was equipped with a Prototype Rolex Explorer which performed without fail; it was believed Sir Edmund Hillary had also worn the same watch but to Rolex’s embarrassment it was soon learned that he was actually wearing a watch called a Smiths Deluxe made by an English watch company Smiths.

The First watch that was taken into space was by a Swiss watch company called Heuer (Tag Heuer) this was a stopwatch and it was worn by John Glen in 1962 on the spaceship Friendship 7 which was the first U.S manned orbital mission. The first watch which landed on the moon was worn by U.S space astronaut Scott Carpenter and he had a Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaut, which was designed with a 24 hour analogue dial to avoid confusion between AM and PM as it was always dark in space. On the 26th March 2012 film maker James Cameron, known for his films such as Titanic and Avatar, launched his mini submarine to travel to the deepest place known on earth the Mariana Trench which is 35,756 feet (10,898 metres) deep. This dive took 2 hours 37 minutes to reach the Ocean floor. Attached to a robotic arm was a 2012 Rolex Deepsea experimental watch, which to the delight of Rolex worked perfectly. The watch was under 13.6 tonnes of load resistance, the equivalent to 13½ elephants standing on the watch, WOW!

Wonderful Wetlands, Wildfowl & Wills In the latest of a series of articles about legal matters Nigel Clarke, Resolution Trainer, Collaborative Solicitor & Accredited Family Mediator from Kent & Surrey Family Resolution and Johnson Clarke Solicitors writes:
16
The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT) is one of the world’s largest, most respected wetland conservation organisations working globally to safeguard and improve wetlands for wildlife and people. Founded in 1946 by Sir Peter Scott, today the Trust undertakes wetland conservation work worldwide with a wonderful network of Visitor Centres comprising globally important wetland habitats.
All of the Trust’s work is supported by a much valued membership base of over 200,000 people and their purpose is to raise awareness of the value of wetlands to life on Earth, identify and counter threats to the survival of wetlands and their wildlife and inspire people of all ages to explore and value wetland conservation. When Sir Peter Scott founded the Trust his ideas were unique. He was the first to recognise the wisdom of a combined approach, taking action to save wetlands and wildlife whilst encouraging people to care about the natural world. He pioneered the notion that conservation education should be uplifting, fun for people of all ages and that wetlands are places to enjoy as well as respect. Sir Peter’s principles remain at the core of WWT’s work today and central to their future plans.
business Anyone who has visited one of the WWT’s inspiring centres around the UK cannot fail to have been inspired by the wonderful work that is undertaken and all will have come away feeling inspired and uplifted.
consider making a donation to the WWT. Their suggested donation is £40 for a codicil, £90 for a single will or £135 for a pair of basic mirror or matching wills. All donations you make will support your local WWT wetland centre.

Whether you are considering making a will for the first time, or have an existing Will that requires amending, WWT Will Month 2013 is the perfect opportunity to have this done free of charge, and to support WWT at the same time.

Tenterden Council and Chamber of Commerce Reach Agreement to Save Town’s Christmas Lights Tenterden will be putting on a brilliant display of Christmas lights this year, thanks to an agreement reached by the Chamber of Commerce and the Town Council. Following the discovery last year that the lights illuminating the mature trees in the High Street had disappeared, the Chamber has been staging a campaign to raise up to £15,000 to replace them. Now, following an approach by the Chamber, the Tenterden Town Council Finance & General Purposes Committee has agreed, subject to full Council ratification at the end of next month, to jointly take responsibility for the lights for this Christmas and beyond. Explains Jonathan Medes, the Chamber’s events officer: “This is terrific news, and a great example of how the whole town is pulling together to make sure we put on a brilliant display of lights this Christmas.
“We have already raised some £6,000 towards the new lights, and now we have the Council’s backing, we’re absolutely confident that we will be able to put on a show which is as good as – and probably better – than ever before” The Mayor of Tenterden, Cllr Robin Wade, added: “By working together, we will certainly be able to light at least 10 of the mature trees, and possibly more. “We will also be working with the Chamber to see what additional funding we can secure from Kent County Council, Ashford Borough Council and the Tenterden Projects Group. “It’s a clear demonstration that Tenterden is a town which can act effectively together for the benefit of everyone – traders, residents and visitors.”

The man replies “I‛m on the way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the e effects it has on the human body, as well ll as smoking and staying out late.” The officer then asks “Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?” ?” The man replies “That would be my wife”. ”. MODERN TECHNOLOGY .... I was visiting my son and daughter-in-law last night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper. ‘This is the 21st century, old man,‛ he said. ‘We don‛t waste money on newspapers.

Channel Radio was born mid 2012 as a community radio station for those living in and around the Romney Marsh area. In fact, just about the same area as The Village Directory covers. The station’s owners were determined it would differ from other community radio stations, in that, whilst staying true to the idea of community radio, they would attempt to attract a far larger audience from a wider area. To do this they had to forsake the idea of a local FM frequency which only gives a listening area of approximately five miles and direct their broadcasts through the internet. As it is estimated a third of all listeners, tune into radio stations via the internet, using ipods, iphones, smart phones, laptops and tablets Channel Radio can reach out, not only nationally but internationally as well. Their core programmes like Marsh Mellow, which is broadcast live from 4pm to 5 pm every Thursday, concentrates on local matters concerning Romney Marsh and the surrounding areas. However, it is not only listened to, by the community it is meant for, but also has dedicated listeners in South Carolina, San Francsico, and California. The lifestyle and well being programme, ‘Who cares Wins’ on Monday afternoons between 3 & 4pm. is also proving popular according to presenters Angela, Sue & Jan. Iphones, ipads and smart phones have revolutionised our listening habits, enabling us to listen to programmes when it suits us, rather than when they are actually broadcast. Channel Radio have followed in the footsteps of such august bodies as the BBC by making their progammes available 24/7 . To access
any of Channel Radio’s programmes go to www. channelradio.co.uk/listen-again and take your pick. There are a number of exciting programmes planned for the future, not normally associated with community radio, in the form drama and comedy. But more of that next time.

Be it companionship or just someone to sit with a relative, our Private Care Service carers can come to your house and help. Visits can be for as little as one hour or as long as 15 hours. This help can form part of a tailored package of care that could help you stay in your own home for longer, rather than going into a care home before its really needed. We can assist those who need help due to frailty, disability or illness to live as independently as possible, with comfort and dignity, in their own home.
