Karols Korner Summer is fast approaching and in this issue is our BUMPER SUMMER GUIDE with lots of great things to do and places to visit. Make sure you book tickets early as many of these events sell out fast.

Heckington Show is just around the corner as I write this and that’s one of my favorite events of the year, I am also really looking forward to the Billy Ocean and Heather Small concert at the fantastic Lincoln Castle.

Outdoor music is such a pleasure!

Introducing my newest member of my show team, please meet Wally (aptly named as Wallace as I already have Gromit!). Wally is a rising star and at his very first Championship show he won Reserve Best Baby Puppy in Show, at just 5 months of age! Gromit is now feeling like a grandad! T is having a well earned rest for this summer while Wally learns his new job!

The Great Beyond Tech tools to help you wherever you may roam

Whether you’re hiking up mountains or just trying to get around Glastonbury, travelling can be made much easier with a few well-chosen gadgets - and some of the available options might surprise you.

Fancy a hairgrip that doubles as a saw? Such things exist: the Monkey Business MultiTool Hairgrip (around £8.50) comes in stainless steel and is shaped to include a little wrench, screwdriver, cutter and ruler as well as being a hair grip. You can also use it in shopping trolleys instead of coins, although that only applies to pre-2017 ones: the new twelve-sided pound coin has sadly made most trolley coins redundant.

Fancy something a bit sturdier? Since the wonderful Leatherman became a global hit, there’s been no shortage of multi-tools that attempt to provide everything you could possibly need in a single gadget. If you have Leatherman ambitions but not the accompanying budget, you’ll ÀQG FKHDSHU RSWLRQV IURP WKH likes of supermarket favourite Rolson, whose 36019 multi-tool offers 12 stainless steel tools for £13.41. Just don’t take it anywhere you’re not allowed blades, such as airports.

If you’d rather have something 6

a little more high tech, the world of wearables continues to grow: for example TomTom’s Runner watches combine activity tracking with GPS for around £59, and there are even GPS-enabled trackers for kids such as the Witmoving Wrist Watch, which is available for DURXQG 7KH EHQHÀW RI such kids’ watches is that they enable a lost child to press the SOS button to call a parent or guardian, and the companion app can tell you exactly where the child is if they wander off.

Just be aware that anything that uses a phone SIM, such as the Witmoving watch, will need a data contract: a pay as you go deal from the likes of budget operator Giffgaff, which uses O2’s network, offers reliable coverage for a low price. You can spend much more on a fully-featured smartwatch that does pretty much everything, but for now if it’s pure activity tracking you’re looking for, a running watch such as the TomTom is a better and cheaper option.

Chances are that wherever you’re going, you’ll want to keep your phone charged - and if you’re far from a plug socket that isn’t always easy. The most effective portable chargers, such as the Anker PowerCore 13000 (around £24), are

designed to be charged at home and then used when your phone battery runs out of puff, and they boast a range of features to charge quickly and to turn off the power when the battery’s full. They’re a little bulky compared to emergency phone chargers, which tend to give you just enough power to make a few calls, but they’re good for multiple full charges.

Solar chargers are more environmentally friendly - at least, after they’ve been manufactured - and they can be quite cheap: Amazon currently lists a number of decent 10000mAh solar chargers for around £15, some of which can charge multiple devices simultaneously and double as /(' ÁDVKOLJKWV %H DZDUH WKDW such chargers only use solar energy as a backup: like other portable chargers they’ve got a great big battery inside them that you’re expected to charge before you go out and about.

The panel is there for peace of mind should your adventure last longer than expected, but in the British summer don’t expect a full charge to happen very quickly.

A Vets Voice

Collingham Veterinary Clinic

By Mark Lainchbury Tick Tock

The changes in our climate are affecting many animals and insects in different ways. We read about the decline in bee population and that wild animal habitats are being affected as the seasons gradually change, plus of course human intervention .

Mark Lainchbury B.V.S.C., M.R.C.V.S.

FOR ALL YOUR VETERINARY CLINIC NEEDS Caring, sensitive and efficient

One of the changes that we have noticed at the clinic is the increase of ticks on domestic pets. Ticks can be found in both rural and urban areas and it's estimated that over the last 10 years the distribution has gone up by 17% in this country.

Please be aware that during the hotter months with your pet scratching more than usual, there could be a chance that a tick is hiding away causing irritation and annoyance. Sometimes they can be picked up abroad and carried back home, so please be aware of any changes.

Left untreated ticks can cause several problems, transmitting diseases such as babesiosis and Lyme disease apart from the vexation of itchy skin.

In the majority of cases when the tick is detected at the vet clinic, it can be removed correctly therefore reducing the risk of disease transmission. So be aware and let's keep our pets healthy and happy !

Stay Safe in the Sun By Alison Runham www.alison.runham.co.uk

‘Lobster’ arms. Heat exhaustion.

It seems that despite the publicity, we’re still not getting the sun protection message – and we’re risking serious health issues.

PROTECTING YOUR SKIN “A tan is actually a sign that the skin has been damaged and is trying to protect itself,” warns the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD). Your body is desperately producing brown melanin to protect itself from further UV damage. UV damage can lead to skin cancer.

While we need a little outdoor sunshine to maintain our Vitamin D levels, we should limit our exposure by: ÀQGLQJ VKDGH ZKHQ WKH VXQ LV strongest (usually 11am - 3pm from March to October in the UK); • covering our skin (remembering that UV light will penetrate some fabrics); • choosing a suitable sunscreen and using it properly.

Choosing Sunscreen UVA protection is rated up to 5 stars. The SPF (sun protection factor) refers to UVB, ranging from 2 (lowest protection) to 50+.

Choose sunscreen with both UVA protection (at least fourstar) and UVB protection (with an SPF of at least 30).

Using Sunscreen Sun cream is only as effective 14

as its application, so: • Apply liberally. Apply at least two teaspoons of sunscreen to cover the head, arms and neck and two tablespoons for the entire body while wearing a swimming costume.

• Apply frequently. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before, and again just before, going out – then at least every two hours afterwards. Also apply it straight after you’ve been in water, even if it’s ‘waterresistant’.

• Don’t use expired sunscreen (or in date sunscreen that’s been left in direct sunlight or got hot).

Remember: • Water can increase the sun’s radiation by 5%, and sand by 17%.

• The sensitive skin of babies and children needs extra protection. Keep children under 6 months out of strong sunlight completely.

• Take extra care if you have: Ź pale, white or light brown skin; Ź freckles or red or fair hair; Ź many moles (look out for new moles and changes to existing moles, freckles or skin patches); Ź skin problems relating to a medical condition; Ź a family history of skin cancer; Ź a tendency to burn rather than tan; Ź only occasional exposure to intense sun (e.g. holidays) or are in a hot country with particularly intense sun; Treating Sunburn Apply plenty of cold water, then a soothing product (e.g. after

sun or calamine lotion). An antiseptic cream containing a local anaesthetic can help, as can basic painkillers. If you feel unwell or your skin swells badly or blisters, seek medical help.

Avoid the sun until all redness has gone.

PROTECTING YOUR EYES UV light damages eyes too, so: • As soon as they’re old enough, teach children never to look at the sun.

• Ensure everyone wears sunglasses that protect against UVA and UVB and carry the CE Mark.

Heatstroke Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, confusion, appetite loss, feeling sick, excessive sweating, pale clammy skin, cramps, fast breathing or pulse, a temperature of 37C or above and intense thirst.

If someone is suffering from heatstroke, lie them down in the shade, raise their feet, offer cold drinks and remove unnecessary clothing.

Call 999 if they’re no better after 30 minutes or if symptoms worsen.

To avoid heatstroke, stay hydrated, keep your head covered and rest in the shade when the sun is hottest.

Summer Guide

Summer of Fun by Kate Duggan From family-friendly festivals to wet weather fun, we’ve plenty of ideas to keep the kids entertained this summer.

Back to nature Fly a kite, go geocaching, build a den, explore a new trail – you don’t have to travel far or spend a lot of money to have fun outdoors. If you need some inspiration, try The National Trust’s 50 things to do before you’re 11¾ list, which is available as a free app, a printed leaflet, or a PDF. The app is particularly appealing for tech-savvy kids, as it lets them record their activities and earn printable certificates. Activities range from bug hunting and playing pooh sticks to canoeing, rock climbing and orienteering.

Festivals Festival season isn’t just for the grown-ups – there are plenty of family-friendly festivals to choose from, including: • Suffolk’s Latitude Festival has its own family campsite and kids’ area. Children can enjoy a whole host of activities, from pizza making to weird science.

There are live shows for children of all ages, a kids’ disco, and plenty of music to dance along to.

• At Camp Bestival children can learn circus tricks, be entertained by Mister Maker,

22

Mr Tumble and Dick & Dom, jump on the world’s biggest bouncy castle, and lots more.

• Cheshire’s Just So festival is specifically aimed at children and offers a ‘magical experience where art, music and literature are embedded and entwined in a beautiful and wondrous landscape.’

There’s everything from baby yoga and storytelling to dance workshops, live shows and a jelly fight!

• Chagstock is rather smaller than Latitude or Bestival, but offers great value for money.

An adult weekend ticket is £90, including camping, and under-12s go free. There’s a family camping area, play area, bouncy castle and various activities.

Learning through play The summer holidays are not the time to worry about spelling tests and practice papers.

However, that doesn’t mean that your child can’t have fun learning a new skill, whether it’s sewing, baking or climbing trees. Many children struggle with learning how to tell the time. If yours is one of them, a Twistiti watch might help them

master that particular skill this summer. Hours and minutes are brightly coloured and easy to read. There are also lots of interchangeable straps to choose from, including camouflage, animal print and stripes. Our eight year old tester said the watch made it much easier for her to work out the time, see www.twistiti.com.

Wet days at home The British weather being what it is, there are likely to be some rainy days this summer. It can help to have some plans up your sleeve, so here are a few ideas: • Build a den inside. A couple of chairs or a table, a few old sheets or blankets, and a washing line with pegs are all you need. Use the den for family board games, picnics and teddy bear tea parties.

• Have a treasure hunt, with a series of clues, or a scavenger hunt to find mini prizes or chocolate coins.

• Make some puppets out of old socks, cardboard boxes or wooden spoons; write a play and put on a performance for other members of the family.

• If you just can’t tear them away from their screens, have a pyjama party. Add pizza, popcorn and playmates and you should be able to hide out in another room for at least an hour’s peace and quiet.

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

Your services are required on the home front at the beginning of July. It may be necessary to take time off work to handle domestic responsibilities. Your employer won't be happy with the situation, but you have no other option.

Neighbours are ready to lend a helping hand. The New Moon on the 23rd is perfect for fulfilling romantic desires.

Your working environment will feel oppressive at the beginning of July, due to a cantankerous colleague. It's time to file an official complaint. Don't worry if it takes a while to get your bearings toward the middle of the month. A little patience and persistence will pay off; it will take a long time to get accustomed to new surroundings or changed circumstances.

TAURUS

VIRGO

April 21st - May 21st

August 24th - Sept 23rd

Handling facts and figures will be harder than you thinking. You may decide to take a course at the beginning of the month. Expanding your skill set will make you less reliant on expensive experts. The Full Moon on the 9th will mark the successful conclusion of a legal matter. You'll be happy to put this situation behind you and focus on more rewarding pursuits.

A romantic partner will urge you to abandon a lifelong dream at the beginning of July. You may decide it's better to break off the relationship.

During the second half of the month, you will be in great demand. Be willing to explain and expound your views and values. People will be very receptive to your ideas.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st Money will be thin on the ground at the beginning of the month. This isn't a good time to make expensive purchases. The middle of the month will put a strain on a romantic relationship. The New Moon on the 23rd will inspire you to expand your horizons in some way.

CAPRICORN December 22nd - Jan 20th Show respect for a loved one's opinions throughout early July.

Although you want them to adopt your views, you may never change them. It will probably be best to agree to disagree. On the 23rd, the New Moon will prompt you to embark on an intimate relationship. Let down your defences with someone who has proven their loyalty.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

January 21st - Feb 19th

Throwing money at a problem won't make it disappear. In order to overcome a persistent problem, you'll have to use all your willpower and determination.

Your efforts will pay off handsomely, giving you a confidence that will turn heads. On the 9th, the Full Moon will enrich your bank account in the form of an inheritance, refund or royalty payment.

You're tired of insufferable behaviour of someone you live with or work with.

Instead of enduring their outrageous behaviour with a silent smile, confront them head on about it at the beginning of the month. The second half of July will be festive. You'll enjoy making the rounds of a series of parties.

Don't push yourself too hard or you will suffer burnout. If you'd like a different job, apply for a place at a charity or humanitarian organisation. Getting paid to make the world a better place will be the answer to a prayer. The New Moon on the 23rd could find you embarking on an enthralling new relationship.

CANCER

SCORPIO

PISCES

June 22nd - July 23rd

October 24th - Nov 22nd

Feb 20th - March 20th

A pushy attitude will create problems in a close relationship. A brilliant moneymaking idea is worth checking out. Turn a deaf ear to a pessimistic pal or reluctant relative who thinks this particular is doomed to disaster. On the 23rd, the New Moon will inspire you to start a project that is dear to your heart.

At the start of July, angry words could be exchanged with a powerful individual. You may decide it's no longer worth it to put up with this oppressive person. Solitary activities will be therapeutic during the middle of the month. On the 23rd, the New Moon will bring an exciting career opportunity that makes your eyes sparkle with joy.

Friends will want you to put an end to an enjoyable hobby in the early days of July. Stick to your guns; you're too smart to bow to peer pressure. The Full Moon on the 9th marks the end of a challenging group project. People will be so impressed with your efforts that you'll be offered bigger and better assignments.

Home & Interiors Update Your Bathroom for Summer can make a big difference.

Think about adding artwork to the walls, too, for colour, pattern and a dramatic focal point.

Give your bathroom an appealing summer makeover with our easy-toachieve tips.

A DASH OF PAINT Any room can be updated with a lick of paint, and bathrooms are no different. Choose specially formulated bathroom paint, which provides longlasting protection against condensation and mould. Fresh white looks great in a bathroom, while deeper shades such as charcoal or navy make a striking impact, and mid blues, greens or yellows are fresh and cheery.

UPDATE YOUR ACCESSORIES Choose all sorts of fashionable new options for items such as towels, soap dishes, shower curtains, even loo roll holders and toilet seats, from graphic SDWWHUQV WR Ă DPLQJR GHVLJQV RU marble and copper - little things 36

REPLACE YOUR TAPS AND WASTES Out-of-date tap styles and scratched wastes are easy for a plumber to replace, but take advice on technical considerations like water pressure and how far taps should project over the basin - then choose functional styles that you love. You could also save on bills by installing watersaving taps and an aerated or ORZ Ă RZ VKRZHUKHDG CONCEAL CLUTTER The easiest way to create storage space is with a slimline, wall-mounted cupboard (perhaps with a mirror on the door), though other options include racks, rails, shelves and hooks. Matching baskets, rows of glass jars and small wooden crates are pretty and help keep things tidy, while free-standing caddies and towel ladders conveniently hold heaps of stuff.

AT THE WINDOW Consider replacing a dull roller blind with something more interesting - Roman blinds, cafÊ curtains or wooden louvres or shutters are all good options, or a cheap and instant transformation is possible with IURVWHG DGKHVLYH ÀOP ADD A PLANT Houseplants are back in fashion once again, so look for plants

While you’re at it, remove black and mouldy silicone sealant with a sharp knife, then clean and dry the area thoroughly and re-apply new sealant. You’ll need a steady hand for this bit, so take a deep breath before you start, and if in doubt, search for an online video for guidance.

Safe Journey

by Pippa Greenwood

Now that the weather is really summery, everyone is rushing to their local garden centres, garden shows and nurseries to stock up on new plants for the garden. However, don’t forget to ensure that the plants you buy have a good chance of surviving, not only once they get home, but also during the journey there; it is worth taking a few very sensible precautions.

Don’t take something home the day you buy it if it is too large to ÀW LQ \RXU FDU +RZHYHU VORZO\ you drive, if the plant is sticking out of a sunroof or window the foliage is going to be scorched and damaged, and it is possible that a stem may be broken.

Almost all garden centres now offer delivery and this is usually free of charge within a reasonable radius, so take advantage of this service. ,I WKH SODQW GRHV ÀW LQ \RXU FDU then remember to wrap the root ball in a black bin liner or a box, to prevent the back of your car becoming full of compost, grit etc.

Always use the garden centre as the last port of call before travelling home, as in hot weather temperatures increase 40

quickly in a closed car, even with the windows or sunroof open. Under these conditions the plants can soon be boiled alive, literally! Plants in the boot should be safer for a slightly longer period of time, but you should travel straight home once you have made your purchases.

If you are determined to take something home that protrudes slightly from your car, then it is essential that you wrap up anything which is sticking out really well to prevent leaf scorch and damage. Make sure that it is tied down extremely well so that it can’t blow off on the way home. Remember that anything protruding from your car could potentially cause a driving hazard to other road users, so be sensible.

Even on a short journey home, plants which are exposed to exaggerated heat inside a car or the scorching effect of sunlight travelling through the car glazing can be seriously damaged, so cover them up with something to decrease the risk. It is worth taking a few old newspapers with you when you go to the garden centre, as these make perfect temporary

tents.

Remember that most plants prefer fairly constant conditions, so try not to put them through too many changes in a short space of time. Ideally, take them from one area in the garden centre to somewhere similar in your garden, and keep any travelling during hot weather to a minimum. If they look at all damaged from their journey then give them a week or two to recuperate in dappled shade in a protected position in your garden.

And don’t forget that when you plant anything new in your garden, if the weather is at all dry it is worth waiting until the evening or at least late afternoon before planting. Make sure that everything is kept well watered, as this will increase the chances of the plants establishing without too much distress.

Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood.com for a really useful selection of favourite gardening items including growing frames, SpeedHoes, SpeedWeeders, raised bed kits, Nemaslug and other nematode controls and copper tape, pull-out EasyTunnels, signed books and lots more besides.
