Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

Doing work around the house will be a good way to spend your time at the start of June. Repairing or replacing appliances, upgrading plumbing systems and checking out faulty wiring. The Full Moon on the 9th will bring a disappointing result with a legal or official matter. Resist the temptation to hide away from the world.

Your ideas will be well-received at the beginning of June making this a great time to give a presentation or make a proposal. Money will be tight, so be prepared to work with a limited budget. The Full Moon on the 9th will force you to reconsider a romantic relationship. You may decide your partner is more trouble than they are worth.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st Friendship could turn to romance at the beginning of the month. If you're already in a relationship, your partner will encourage you to take a life enhancing decision. Follow their advice. On the 24th, the New Moon will bring a handsome windfall. Use the money from a legal settlement, insurance refund or inheritance for a down payment on a home.

TAURUS

VIRGO

CAPRICORN

April 21st - May 21st

August 24th - Sept 23rd

December 22nd - Jan 20th

You'll be getting lots of admiring glances at the beginning of June, when your natural charisma will be powerfully accentuated. On the 9th, the Full Moon will bring about an unexpected challenge to your finances. You'll have to dip into savings or go into debt to put things right. The New Moon on the 24th will prompt you to take a class, learn a skill or begin a writing project.

The start of June will be stimulating on the home as well as the work fronts. Your love life could suffer while you're busy running between your place and the office. You'll have to spread yourself thinly at the middle of the month, when your boss will need you to review some very detailed documents.

A creative project will bring you lots of satisfaction in the early days of June. This is a great time to redecorate a drab room, begin work on a book or take up a new interest. On the 9th, an embarrassing secret will come to light. Instead of denying the truth, own up to it. This will allow you to repair some broken relationships and make a fresh start.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

January 21st - Feb 19th

People will be very receptive to your ideas at the beginning of the month. Take this opportunity to go for a job interview, ask for a date or submit creative work for review. The Full Moon on the 9th will put a great deal of strain on a close relationship. You may decide to part from an impractical person who often fails to keep their promises.

The Full Moon on the 9th could bring some disappointing news about a job; your work may not be as well received as expected. Pick yourself up and dust yourself and make a fresh start around the middle of the month. On the 24th, the New Moon will bring an exciting opportunity to climb the ladder of success.

CANCER

SCORPIO

June 22nd - July 23rd

October 24th - Nov 22nd

On the 9th, you could experience some physical problems. Get a medical consultation for a nagging ache or pain. Working behind the scenes toward the middle of the month will be instructive. Team up with an unconventional leader who is more interested in innovation than tradition. The New Moon on the 24th is ideal for starting a job or assuming another role.

You'll have a chance to create long term financial security at the start of June. At the middle of the month, you might have to put some expenses on a credit card until your finances begin to improve. The New Moon on the 24th will attract an exciting opportunity to expand your horizons through travel, writing or studying.

You will make a splash on social media at the beginning of the month. The Full Moon on the 9th will force you to back out of a social engagement. On the 24th, the New Moon will help you make headway with a health regime. Following a better diet, taking daily exercise and getting more sleep will make you look and feel much better.

PISCES Feb 20th - March 20th A grant, loan or gift will allow you to make a cherished dream come true at the beginning of June. To give thanks to the Universe, make a donation to your favourite charity. This will keep the good karma flowing. On the 9th, the Full Moon will put you at the centre of a controversy. You might have to take the blame for someone else's mistake or issue an apology for a wrong move.

Hard to believe June is around the corner! The weather seemed to be improving but as I write this its pouring with rain. Just as I had got my summer wardrobe out! June sees the beginning of summer days out though and lots of venues are gearing up now ready for the summer peak period. If there’s somewhere special that you know of and we don’t why not drop us a line on Facebook or email directly into us and let us know, reader reviews are always welcome! T and Gromit are having a quiet month showing, this month, taking a bit of a well earned break until the summer season starts in earnest! Meanwhile the grooming never stops! Speaking of which, we are hoping to attend the charity open day / fun dog show on Sunday 11th June 12-4 pm at A Groom with a View, Woodbank, Old wood , Skellingthorpe , Lincoln LN6 5UA. Looks like a great afternoon, hope to see you there!

Different Types Of Holiday Insurance: Are You Fully Covered?

Buying holiday insurance can sometimes take a back seat when you’re planning to get away. It’s an important investment in your health and safety, however, offering protection and reassurance if something goes wrong when you’re a long way from home. The cost of holiday insurance depends on a number of factors including your age, the length of time you’ll be away, whether or not you’re travelling alone, and the types of activity on the agenda. A comprehensive ‘standard’ policy generally covers the following, although policies do vary: • Holiday cancellation or missed departure. • Theft. • Medical assistance. • Emergency repatriation. • Baggage loss or delay. • Other lost or damaged items. • Personal injury. So what other types of holiday insurance are available, and which might be suitable for you? Single trip/annual or multi trip If you only intend to take one break during a 12-month period, a single trip insurance policy would be the most cost-effective choice as long as it covers everything you need. Annual 8

or multi trip insurance is more suitable if you’re going away more than once a year, but there’s usually a maximum allowable duration which is generally 90 days. European/worldwide travel The expense of repatriating travellers from countries outside Europe, or obtaining medical treatment in the USA for example, is very high. Insurance companies have to take this into account when pricing their policies, so if you’re only travelling to Europe the cost should be lower than for worldwide travel. Take care to check whether a VSHFLÀHG QXPEHU RI GD\V DUH mentioned in the policy, as your insurance will be invalid if you exceed this number. Winter/extreme sports A ‘standard’ holiday insurance policy usually contains exclusion clauses relating to winter or extreme sports due to the additional risk of injury. Also, winter sports equipment is expensive, so you’ll need to pay more to cover it against loss or theft. Gap year/backpackers’ insurance Backpackers’ insurance provides cover for an extended length of time away, but there PD\ EH OLPLWDWLRQV VSHFLÀHG in the policy, for example the number of times you can return to the UK. There could also be restrictions on returning home before the stated period ends, so it’s important to check the details. Unlike annual insurance where you can go away for several

trips during a 12-month period, gap year and backpackers’ insurance covers one extended holiday break. Family policies Family travel policies generally require all those included on the policy to live at the same address, and can be a cheaper option than insuring each family member individually. Some insurers offer higher rates of cover, or even free insurance for children under a certain age. Group travel Groups such as work colleagues, stag and hen parties, or school trips, where everyone travels to and from the same place, can use group travel insurance to save money. Some insurance companies offer one member of the group free insurance as an incentive. Pre-existing medical conditions If you have a pre-existing medical condition, you might be tempted to take a chance with your holiday insurance and not disclose it. This can prove to be a very expensive mistake, however, as the cost of repatriation is extremely high. Fortunately, some insurance companies offer policies for those already suffering from a health condition. Although it will be more costly than buying a standard policy, it’s impossible to put a price on peace of mind while you’re away. www.moneysupermarket.com/ travel-insurance/policy-types/ www.travelsupermarket.com/ en-gb/travel-insurance/medicalconditions/ www.askfinancially.co.uk/ travelinsurance/types-holiday. htm

A Vets Voice By Mark Lainchbury

Hugh is a very private cat with a nervous disposition. His owner is an old lady called Dolly and she spends many hours in an electric reclining chair in her living room....mainly watching films from this comfortable seat. On this particular day Hugh was quietly cleaning his ear under the chair when he was rudely interrupted by a whirring, grinding noise above his head.

Collingham Veterinary Clinic Mark Lainchbury B.V.S.C., M.R.C.V.S.

FOR ALL YOUR VETERINARY CLINIC NEEDS Caring, sensitive and efficient

The chair descended, Hugh tried to jump out of the way but his paw was trapped and as he pulled, the pain kicked in , so Hugh yelled out. Dolly squeaked, de reclined her chair and Hugh fled upstairs to his hiding place in the airing cupboard nursing his poorly paw.

The Riverside Veterinary Group

Needless to say, Dolly had a job bribing and extricating Hugh from his hidey hole to transport him to the vets. After radiographs and surgery, Hugh finally went home with some metal in his paw and a large bandage.

Telephone: 01636 892442

At the post operative check some days later Hugh was impressed by the x rays. His paw , healing very well reminded him of one of Dolly's favourite films 'Wolverine' ( starring Hugh Jackman, his namesake) . Let's hope the metal is adamantium thought Hugh and the claws would shoot nicely through his paw...... Not scaredy cat anymore........now X Cat.......

Carers Week: Who Cares for The Carers?

Carers Week is an annual awareness event highlighting the challenges carers face. This year’s campaign runs from 12th to 18th June and focuses on Building Carer Friendly Communities: ‘places that understand a carer’s daily reality and do what they can to make life a little bit easier for them.’ CARING IN THE UK The facts: ‡ 7KUHH RXW RI Ă€YH RI XV ZLOO become a carer at some point. • Around 6.5 million people in the UK provide unpaid care for a disabled, ill or older relative or friend. • At least 380,000 older carers in England provide 50+ hours of care a week without any help from their local authority; over 100,000 are in their eighties and beyond. • Many carers are unaware of WKH VXSSRUW DQG Ă€QDQFLDO KHOS they’re entitled to. “We know that caring for a loved one can be a rewarding experience, but without the right support at the right time, caring can also have a huge impact on a carer’s emotional and physical KHDOWK ZRUN DQG Ă€QDQFHV Âľ VD\V HelĂŠna Herklots CBE, Chief Executive of charity Carers UK.

The Carers Week campaign wants us to raise awareness in schools and organisations; recommend carer-friendly organisations, services and businesses; and pledge to make our own organisations carer-friendly.

Outdoor Relaxation by Pippa Greenwood

When you get back from a hard day’s work, or when you simply Ă€QG WKH WLPH WR HVFDSH LQWR WKH garden after a stressful day, then it is essential that you are met by a soothing environment. So, concentrate on a truly relaxing feel that will help you to unwind as you enjoy soft shades and textures of foliage, GHOLFDWH Ă RZHU FRORXUV DQG fabulous perfumes. Plants have an amazing ability to calm and soothe even the most wound up, stressed out mood, but what should you grow if you really want to create that perfect place to relax? Start by considering a fairly gentle perfume, like that produced by many roses. One of my favourites is ‘Felicia’. For something slightly richer try ‘Tuscany Superb’. If you have an arch, arbour, pergola or even a spare bit of fence then train a honeysuckle over it. Its delicately coloured Ă RZHUV DQG IDEXORXV SHUIXPH will cheer you up and you can even enjoy it in the early evening. A sowing of night-scented stock will produce plants that are perfect for early evening relaxation, as this is when the Ă RZHUV RSHQ DQG SURGXFH ZDIWV of really sweet scent. 26

If you have space for a goodsized container plant, then grow your own Datura or Brugmansia. Commonly known as the angel’s trumpet, these plants produce large elegant WUXPSHW VKDSHG à RZHUV ZLWK D wonderful perfume. Think too of plants with a relaxing feel to them, such as the grass Chasmanthium latifolium which grows to a height of about 45 cm and FDUULHV LWV à DWWHQHG VHHG KHDGV above the leaves. They move about delicately in the breeze and are almost impossible not to stroke. Artemisia abrotanum has soft grey-green leaves that will make you want to touch it, which releases a lovely aroma. The perfume of lavender is often used in aromatherapy because of its calming, soothing properties, so grow this in a sunny spot with freedraining soil, perhaps to edge a border. It not only has lovely, slightly furry or felt-like foliage but also produces that heavenly smell. Grasses and bamboos work well too; the rustling sound of bamboo foliage as the stems sway gently is one of the most relaxing sounds I know, and for smaller spaces many of the grasses form wonderfully

rounded and quite irresistible clumps of foliage. When it comes to choosing à RZHUV LI \RX ZDQW WR UHOD[ then concentrate on cream, white and, of course, the pastel shades. Green is known to be a relaxing colour too, so include plenty of plants with good foliage, and, in shady areas, a miniature grotto-like patch planted up with ferns is wonderful. $QG ÀQDOO\ EHIRUH \RX UXVK off to the garden centre to buy some of these truly magical ingredients, just a reminder that water in a garden always helps to relax you.

Home & Interiors The Art of Display

If you want to create displays of your treasured possessions that show them off, our top ten tips will help. 1 Consider what you are displaying, whether it is sturdy or fragile, valuable or everyday. Do you wish to admire it from afar or do you prefer it close to hand and perhaps picked XS" <RX PD\ ÀQG \RX FDQ manage with a display on a mantelpiece, shelf or table top, or you can invest in a specially designed cabinet, case or stand. If you opt for specialist display furniture, choose pieces that complement the style and proportions of your home. 2 Good lighting makes all the difference. Carefully positioned ceiling-mounted spotlights are ideal, but an adjustable lamp may provide a more informal, cheaper À[ IRU D VLPSOH GRPHVWLF display. Think about where 28

the light comes from: directly above, behind (for a dramatic silhouette) or from the front, and how ‘warm’ or ‘cool’ the bulb should be in order to enhance colour and WH[WXUH

FRQVLGHUHG DQG UHĂ€QHG and suit traditional rooms. Asymmetry, however, is ideal for making an impact in a contemporary space, and can seem more spontaneous and intuitive.

3 Group objects together and they can be much more than the sum of their parts. A group display may consist of almost anything: a series of Delftware plates or tiles, a dozen framed silk headscarves, pebbles in graduating sizes, mirrored baubles, wooden shoe lasts, a row of modern chairs in sorbet shades‌you can have great fun with almost anything you decide to gather together.

7 A great way to make an impact with a display is by showing off a single, fabulous, huge object - but ensure there is plenty of space around it in which it can ‘breathe’.

4 Displays of identical pairs of objects are probably the most simple, and often the most visually powerful, of all. There’s something H[WUHPHO\ SOHDVLQJ DERXW this mirroring and doubling, but you must ensure your objects are placed evenly and symmetrically. 5 When choosing a group of different objects to display, look for ways in which they will work together, whether by colour, size, shape, WH[WXUH RU SURSRUWLRQ ,W LV important to have something that creates coherence and some objects may simply QRW ÀW ZHOO LQWR WKH JURXS 6 Every time you display more than one object, you need to opt for symmetry or asymmetry. Symmetrical displays tend to appear more classical,

8 Small objects can look lost in most rooms, so be particularly careful about how you display them. Try to ‘frame’ them within their surroundings – maybe in a cabinet or niche, on a side table, or on a plinth rather than a long, wide shelf. 9 If displaying large groups RI SDLQWLQJV SULQWV RU Ă DW objects on a wall, start by laying your potential JURXS RQ WKH Ă RRU &KRRVH the piece that you wish to be most prominent, then surround it with pieces that work well alongside it. 10 Finally, stand right back - does your display need tweaking? Don’t be afraid to change things around, and try not to make the Ă€QLVKHG UHVXOW RYHUO\ IRUPDO or perfect. This is your home, not a gallery, and the important thing is that you love what’s around you.

Kia Picanto

Kia wants to ditch their blue rinse image and target a younger age group with their spiced up city car. The refreshed model teams sporty looks with a more focused driving style to woo young professionals to part with their cash. But are the tweaks enough? LOOKS AND IMAGE Kia has worked hard to liven things up, with an extended ‘tiger nose’ grille, smart LED driving lights and a large front air intake. Double wheel arches DGG Ă DLU WKHUH¡V D ÂśVKDUN¡ antenna and the GT-Line VSHFLĂ€FDWLRQ LQFOXGHV VSRUW\ UHG trim and a twin-tipped exhaust. SPACE AND PRACTICALITY The Picanto is Kia’s second best-selling model in the UK after the Sportage and is predominantly bought as a second car by more mature buyers. Kia thinks the new technology – like wireless charging for your mobile, parking camera and Apple CarPlay – will tempt younger, Ă€UVW WLPH FDU EX\HUV Kia has created a little more cabin space over its predecessor by increasing the 36

wheelbase and reducing the front overhang, but rear legroom is still limited. Up front you’ll sit shoulder to shoulder with your passenger, but there’s ample leg room and the driving position is comfortable. Autonomous emergency braking – which warns, then stops you, if it senses a crash – as well as a smart torque vectoring system that improves handling by braking individual wheels are also available. WHAT’S UNDER THE BONNET? Three engine options are offered: a 1.0-litre, 67bhp, 89g/ km, three-cylinder; a 1.2-litre, 84bhp, 104g/km four-cylinder; and a 1.0-litre turbo charged, 100bhp version of the three cylinder. We couldn’t try the latter but both the 1.0-litre and 1.2-litre are punchy and more than adequately powered. Our pick is the 1.2-litre, which hits 60mph in 12 seconds, tops out at 107mph and returns 61.4mpg. Manual and automatic options are available across the range. BEHIND THE WHEEL The Picanto will divide opinion. Older buyers looking for a comfortable ride will notice the improved suspension. However, the sprightly engines, quicker turn in and faster steering may make them feel too hurried behind the wheel - exactly what Kia is hoping younger buyers

will appreciate. Overall there’s a noticeable improvement in both ride and handling, largely thanks to reduced weight and a stiffer body, but whether that’s suitable for you will depend on your driving style. VALUE FOR MONEY As the time of the test there were few details as to what options will feature on UK models. Kia UK will follow the conventional Kia strategy of one, two, and three levels of VSHFLĂ€FDWLRQ DQG WKH *7 /LQH driven here, will slot between two and three. In the GT-Line model we tried at the Spanish launch, a seveninch media screen, wireless charging for mobiles, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay all featured, along with a heated steering wheel and seats, climate control and electric windows and mirrors. VERDICT Kia has sharpened up the looks and driving dynamics of the third generation Picanto. In titanium silver or shiny red it looks striking, and will likely attract younger buyers who demand cool technology. However, these tweaks may put off the stalwart Picanto EX\HU .LD LV FRQĂ€GHQW WKRXJK and is promising ‘modest price rises’ over the current range. The entry level model will be no more than ÂŁ9,000 and the top of the range no more than ÂŁ14,000. That said, they’ve meddled with a well-known formula and that brings risk – only time will tell if the gamble will pay off.
