Karols Korner Welcome to the warmer weather, FINALLY! Is it time to get out and about and start enjoying the outdoors again! Days out and places to visit, make sure to visit local attractions who really appreciate your business! Talking of which!.... Have you been supporting our local shops in Lincoln over the last few weeks? I saw a wonderful post on fb the other day, (find it on our FB page, Use Locally Newark & Lincs) talking about if you can’t shop locally for any reason, then there are so many other ways to support your local businesses, simply sharing them around FB or talking about them to your friends will increase awareness and ultimately generate new clients. I walked round a local town the other day, no names! And was horrified at the lack of interesting shops. Every second shop was a charity shop (and I love charity shops), and even M & S was closing there too! What's happening to these places will happen in Lincoln as well, if we don’t get up and support them by spending our money locally. So please, listen to my heartfelt plea, take the time to explore and spend locally, you will find hidden treasures and new favourites Have a great month

Green-f ingered gadgets Technology to help get ready for summer As your garden begins to bloom once more, it’s time to let technology give Mother Nature a helping hand. If you’re a keen gardener and you’re going on holiday, an electronic timer can keep your hydrangeas hydrated while you’re away. We like Hozelock’s Automatic Watering System, which is a modular collection of automatic timers, hoses, connectors and even an Apple/ Android-compatible Cloud Controller, which enables you to control the water from your phone or tablet. You can adjust the watering according to the actual weather conditions, ensuring you don’t under- or over-water everything, and you can also create much more complex schedules than you can with a traditional timer. The original RRP of £160 for the Cloud Controller was a lot of money, but it’s widely available now for less than £90. Every year we ask ourselves the same question: can we afford a robot lawnmower yet? Prices continue to fall – robot mowers were over £2,500 a few years back but had fallen to around £550 last year. Prices are starting to level out but you can pick up the Worx Landroid for around £410 on Amazon. That’s nearly a third off the RRP. We wouldn’t recommend a robo-mower for really complicated gardens, but for straightforward ones they’re really useful. If that’s still a bit too much for a mower, cordless lawnmowers are getting cheaper too, and their batteries are more than up to the job 6

of even fairly large lawns. Flymo’s Mighti-Mo has dropped from ÂŁ234 to around ÂŁ170, and it won’t run out of puff until you’ve cut almost 250 square metres. Cordless power isn’t just convenient, although not having to run cables to the very corners of the garden is certainly a boon. It’s also safer, because there’s no danger of accidentally cutting an electric cable. And electric motors have improved to the point where they can be taken just as seriously as petrol ones, so you can get decently powerful electric trimmers, saws, loppers and chainsaws. The higher the voltage, the more power – so a 36V model such as Black and Decker’s Lithiumion chainsaw, currently ÂŁ235, is considerably more powerful than the more common and slightly cheaper 18V models. Some of the biggest names in power tools have embraced FRUGOHVV VR IRU H[DPSOH \RXÂľOO žQG D UDQJH RI tools from the likes of Makita, Stihl and DeWalt as well as budget brands such as Worx. If you’re considering a cordless device, it might be worth investing in a second battery: there are few things as annoying as running out of charge when a job is nine-tenths done. Just make sure you actually charge it in advance, because it’s even more annoying to plug in a spare only to discover that it’s FRPSOHWHO\ ÂżDW Images top left clockwise- Hozelock Cloud Controller, DeWalt cordless chainsaw, Flymo MightiMo cordless mower, Flymo 1200R robot mower.

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

An unusual moneymaking opportunity will become available on the 4th, courtesy of the New Moon. Opportunities will arise out of the blue. You might have a chance to move into a cutting-edge field. On the 18th, the Full Moon will bring an intimate relationship to a head. A difference of opinion will spark a loud argument. Words can hurt as much as weapons.

TAURUS April 21st - May 21st The New Moon on the 4th invites you to make a radical transformation. This would be a wonderful time to go for a complete image update and take on a whole new style. If someone offers to give you a makeover at the beginning of the month, accept. On the 18th, the Full Moon will shed light on deep rifts between you and your best friend, romantic partner or work associate.

The New Moon on the 4th marks an unusual career opportunity. You'll be asked to take the helm of a glamorous, high-profile company. This position will suit you perfectly. Don't worry if the duties are unlike any you've performed in the past. You'll quickly get the hang of things. Family life will become tense on the 18th, due to a contentious Full Moon.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st A wonderful job offer will arrive on or around the 4th, thanks to an enriching New Moon. This will be a great opportunity to build a nest egg. Although you're not especially materialistic, you will benefit from having a financial cushion. On the 18th, the Full Moon brings an embarrassing secret to light. Offering a sincere apology is only the first step to regaining someone's trust.

VIRGO

CAPRICORN

August 24th - Sept 23rd

December 22nd - Jan 20th

On the 4th, the New Moon will allow you to broaden your outlook. Going on an overseas trip, getting an advanced degree or starting a whole new project will bring great happiness. The Full Moon on the 18th will make you feel pressed for time. It may be impossible to finish your list of chores. If this is the case, it's time to delegate jobs to others.

The New Moon on the 4th marks the beginning of an unorthodox relationship or creative project. This experience will cultivate powerful feelings that knock you for a loop. Falling head over heels in love will make your eyes sparkle. On the 18th, the Full Moon will prompt you to break off a troubled alliance. A group you once loved has changed its tune.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

January 21st - Feb 19th

On the 4th, the New Moon will prompt you to take a break from your daily routine. It's possible you will have to take a prolonged absence from work to recuperate from an illness or emotional shock. An unpleasant routine will come to an end on or around the 18th. That's when a tense Full Moon will make you choose between duty and happiness.

CANCER June 22nd - July 23rd You'll be asked to join an exciting club on the 4th, thanks to the friendly New Moon on the 4th. You'll have lots of fun with this organisation. The Full Moon on the 18th will mark an unfortunate loss. A prospect that seemed like a sure thing will fall through, causing disappointment. Resist the temptation to lash out at the person who asked you to take this risk.

The New Moon on the 4th brings a windfall that turns your financial situation around. Take this opportunity to pay off debts and put money into savings. On the 18th, the Full Moon will present an ethical dilemma. It's important to obey your conscience, even if it gets other people in trouble. Turning a blind eye to bad behaviour will just compound a serious problem.

SCORPIO October 24th - Nov 22nd On the 4th, the New Moon will mark the beginning of an important relationship. Falling in love, forming a business alliance or signing a contract will be liberating. Two heads are definitely better than one at the beginning of May. The Full Moon on the 18th will prompt you to leave a role that no longer serves you. Your departure will make people upset.

Exciting changes will happen in the domestic front on the 4th, thanks to a refreshing New Moon. Relocating to a beautiful part of the world is a distinct possibility. Your lifestyle will be dramatically improved by this shift. Your career will reach a turning point on the 18th, due to a tense Full Moon. You might decide you can no longer meet the demands of an oppressive employer.

PISCES Feb 20th - March 20th The New Moon on the 4th gives you a chance to share your creative abilities with the world. Publishing a book, becoming a featured contributor or recording some songs will make your spirits soar. On the 18th, the Full Moon will bring an end to a legal matter, business trip or a period of study and learning. You'll be less than satisfied with the results.

It also gives your leg muscles and lungs a workout; reduces stress; helps you sleep; burns excess calories; and reduces your risk of osteoporosis, cancer, depression and Type 2 diabetes.

For National Walking Month, the British Heart Foundation is promoting the Just Walk initiative to encourage you to raise money in an organised walk.

The Modern Bedroom

Does your bedroom look a little dated, or is it brimming with contemporary style? We outline some quick and easy ways in which to give it a brand new look. Your bedroom is your own personal space, and the ideal room in which to express your personality, so why not consider a top-to-toe makeover? A pop of colour Bold colours are on trend this spring, often quite dark and moody, and where better than a bedroom to go for this dark dĂŠcor? Use fuchsia, turquoise, emerald, orange, mustard

or deep blue in arresting combinations or perhaps just cover one wall with a strong shade. Even the addition of a bright headboard, rug, throw or group of cushions can make a difference. On the walls Experiment with paint colours by using a tester pot to cover a large sheet of card, then stick it to different walls at various

How to update your furniture Improve or disguise wardrobes, chests of drawers, blanket boxes and bookcases that are old-fashioned, overly bulky or just not quite right. Paint works wonders but is inadvisable on anything antique. Sand thoroughly, undercoat and cover with a top coat, choosing either a colour that will stand out or – to minimise a piece’s look – the same colour as the wall behind. It’s also possible to paste wallpaper (or wrapping paper, maps, sheet music, posters‌) onto WKH ¿DW SDQHOV RI ZRRGHQ IXUQLWXUH SDLQWLQJ WKH UHVW RI WKH SLHFH LQ a co-ordinating colour. Change knobs or handles, or even feet or legs, for something sleek and modern. 18

Beautiful bed linen Introduce sumptuous bed linens that are gorgeous to look at and soft to the touch. You can use plain white as the basics, just adding a stunning throw, blanket, eiderdown or quilt – or several – for eyecatching colour and pattern. Or go for broke and put colour with colour and plains with patterns for layered vibrancy. 7DNH WKH ÂżRRU In a bedroom where wear and tear is not a factor, luxurious, deep-pile carpet is an option. If that’s beyond your budget, consider sanding back \RXU ÂżRRUERDUGV DQG HLWKHU varnishing or painting them, then adding a rug or two in a bold, modern style.

Use Locally - Issue 30 May 2019 to a minimalist garden so include it, perhaps as a neatly clipped box hedging or as a few bay lollipops in angular containers. Containers must be very plain, ideally straight-sided angular styles in a single colour. An evenly spaced trio of pots, each with a single central plant, provides a perfect choice of container planting.

Make it Minimal There is increasing enthusiasm for a more minimalist garden style, where fewer plants have greater individual impact in a more designed situation with straight lines aplenty, so here are some suggestions for achieving the effect you want. Decide on the plants you like and that will suit your garden but keep to as few different types as possible. The biggest impact will be achieved if you are selective, for example concentrating on ornamental grasses. Also key is clever use of straight lines, ideally with a few right angles too. Edges must be VKDUSO\ GHžQHG SHUKDSV XVLQJ sleepers, other timber or angled metal. Keep plants well back from the border edging so these lines are not interfered with. &RORXUV VKRXOG žW \RXU preferences and the surroundings but restrict the number of colours for a calmer and simpler effect. Existing

features such as sheds or fences can be recoloured or painted WR žW LQ ZLWK WKH FRORXU VFKHPH – otherwise, their current colour will have to be included in that scheme.

Edges need to be sharply defined, perhaps using sleepers or other timber A stunning minimalist effect can be achieved by using a single type of plant and container – for example, conifers in terracotta containers. The only variation is in the size of the conifer: all colours, textures and plants are the same. Buy different sizes of the same conifer type and clip regularly to maintain the size difference or buy one size and trim lightly to achieve the desired look. Green, in the form of foliage, helps add a feeling of tranquillity

If you like topiary stick to simple tightly clipped spheres or ‘lollipops’, cubes or at most spirals; there is no space for a fantastically sculptured creature if you’re going minimalist! Plants with simple or angular shapes such as iris, alliums, conifers, clipped box, canna or palms are an excellent choice, but opt for personal (but simple) favourites available locally. Grass alternatives such as gravel may feature highly. Gravel needs less maintenance than grass, but keep it weed-free and easycare by installing a weedmembrane (rather like woven, plastic hessian) on to the soil before putting down the gravel. Thoroughly weed the DUHD WKHQ žUP DQG FRPSDFW well before putting the fabric down. Don’t use cheaper plastic sheeting as rain won’t penetrate. Opt for simple, classically styled garden furniture with as few colours and textures as possible and it won’t detract from the minimalist environment and look – now sit back and enjoy!
