Karol’s Korner Welcome to the September issue. I hardly feel as though summer has begun and already the nights are drawing in! Soon the children will be back at school and we will be out buying pumpkins for Halloween! This traditionally is the season for visiting schools, and trying to decide on our children’s best options for the future. Make sure to check out our Education section - pages 8 to 11 for further info. And not that I want to mention the C word, but once the schools reopen and a crispness returns to the air, everyone starts thinking of Christmas! Get those little (or big) jobs done in plenty of time this year, to make your Christmas less stressful! Have a good September!

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES
LEO
March 21st - April 20th
24th - August 23rd
An embarrassing secret will come to light on or around the 14th, due to a troubling Full Moon. A jealous colleague will shed light on a deception, putting you in an awkward position. Instead of getting defensive, admit your mistake. Ask forgiveness. Change your behaviour. People will forgive you when they realise you have genuinely turned over a new leaf.
Arguments over an insurance refund, legal settlement or inheritance could erupt on the 14th, due to a contentious Full Moon. It will be necessary to hire a lawyer to represent your interests. Don't respond to taunting messages from the other side. Keep a record of all the messages you receive. By refusing to get drawn into this drama, you will prevail financially.
TAURUS
VIRGO
April 21st - May 21st
August 24th - Sept 23rd
It will be difficult to reconcile your friends with a romantic partner on the 14th. That's when a tense Full Moon will create a stir in your social circle. Lately, the people you've known for years have been upset by your absence at various parties and gatherings. They think a love affair has been commanding all your attention, and perhaps they are right.
The Full Moon on the 14th will fill you with a sense of urgency. Try as you might, you won't be able to force people down a path they do not want to travel. Instead of putting more pressure on them, make a strategic retreat. After coming together and discussing your hopes, dreams and fears, a temporary separation may be in order.
SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st On the 14th, the Full Moon will shift your focus to family matters. It will be necessary to take time off work to cope with a real estate deal or domestic dispute. If your employer pressures you to put in long hours, you may decide to find another job. Don't leave your position until you secure another one. It's much easier to find work when you're already employed.
CAPRICORN December 22nd - Jan 20th Surprising news will arrive in midSeptember. The Full Moon on the 14th will shed light on a deception. Your outlook will change considerably after you learn the truth. Putting some distance between you and a manipulative relative will be necessary. You're tired of being tricked into making loans, writing references and going to bat for someone who doesn't deserve it.
GEMINI
LIBRA
AQUARIUS
May 22nd - June 21st
September 24th - Oct 23rd
January 21st - Feb 19th
Your relatives will be jealous of your career success in mid-September. The Full Moon on the 14th finds you being celebrated by your work peers. Although you're thrilled to be recognised in such a public manner, your family is less excited. They're resentful of how much time you spend on your job. Unless you shift focus, you'll drive a permanent wedge between you and your kin.
If you keep pushing yourself too hard, you'll suffer health problems in midSeptember. The Full Moon on the 14th invites you to take an extended break. Going on vacation will make you nervous at first. You'll worry about job security after sleeping late and enjoying room service. Instead of giving in to your greatest fears, envision the outcome you want.
The Full Moon on the 14th puts stress on your bank account. Fees may be deducted from your paycheque, leaving you with very little to show for your hard work. No matter how much you complain, you will not be able to recover the money. Treat this setback as a learning opportunity. Before signing a contract, show the document to a legal professional.
CANCER
SCORPIO
PISCES
June 22nd - July 23rd
October 24th - Nov 22nd
Feb 20th - March 20th
A legal matter will be decided on or around the 14th, due to a tense Full Moon. You'll be disappointed by the results. Instead of dwelling on this setback, make an exciting plan for the future. Doing something adventurous and exciting will give you something special to look forward to. People who have been trying to create problems for you will be crushed by your upbeat outlook.
Friends will conspire against you on the 14th, when the Full Moon invites you to enjoy private pleasures. It's time to set healthier boundaries between you and your loved ones. Coming to other people's rescue is becoming exhausting. You need to devote more energy to the activities you love. Shopping at antique markets and communing with nature could be calling your name.
You're tired of being pushed around by a romantic or business partner. The Full Moon on the 14th demands you confront this bully. You've always been accommodating in relationships. There should be a limit to your generosity. The next time you are commanded to do something unpleasant, put your foot down. If this alliance falls apart at the seams, so be it.

Sound Advice Hearing You probably have regular check-ups at the dentist and the opticians, but when did you last have your hearing tested? ADVICE WORTH HEARING It’s estimated that as many as 1 in 6 people in the UK have some degree of hearing loss, which equates to about 10 million people in the country. This is not limited to people in an older age bracket either. Hearing loss usually occurs gradually & can cause embarrassment, depression, isolation and has been linked to serious health issues such as dementia. It can take between 10 & 15 years to come to terms with hearing loss, but we are here to support you. Sound Advice Hearing can help you hear better again and in turn, help improve your quality of life and the lives of everyone around you. If you think you have a problem, how can we help? We are a local independent family business, with a full-time hearing care centre in Lincoln, covering Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. There is easy accessible parking nearby that we are very happy to cover your costs for. We offer FREE hearing tests in a sound proof environment in our fully equipped centre, or if more convenient, we can also arrange home visits. We provide independent and impartial advice and can provide a FREE hearing aid trial (with no obligation to buy). You will receive a personalised solution for all your hearing requirements based on lifestyle, cosmetics & budget that will guarantee to change your life forever. What other services do you offer? We also provide a comprehensive wax removal service by either irrigation, micro-suction or 16
instrumentation. Our friendly and highly skilled audiologists ensure our patients get the best advice and the most appropriate procedure that is best suited for them. Wax removal is becoming more & more difficult to have administered through some GP surgeries and can sometimes involve frustrating & lengthy delays. We also provide custom solutions for noise and hearing protection for sporting activities such as shooting and swimming. How can I tell if I have a hearing problem? Typical indicators include; • Asking people to repeat themselves • Struggling to hear in noisy environments • Confusing words or misunderstanding what’s being said in conversation • Having to turn the T.V up If you can identify with any of these, then it is important to book your free hearing assessment to determine whether you have any degree of hearing loss.
What should I do next? The most important thing to do is not ignore it! In most cases hearing deteriorates gradually & it often affects people around you more than yourself. Wearing a hearing aid can make a real difference to your quality of life & those around you. It’s never too early to look after your hearing. What makes you different from the competition? We are a local family run business with many years of experience. We have access to all makes and models of hearing devices and can provide impartial advice accordingly. It’s our combination of this extensive product range, experience, continuity, in depth testing, dedicated time and attention to detail that keep us ahead of the field. We are a hearing care company that is passionate, dedicated and focused on helping you to hear better.

free-draining loam that does not become too dry in summer, nor waterlogged or compacted in winter. Improve drainage in heavy soil by adding horticultural sand and some bulky organic matter, whereas light soil will retain moisture better if plenty of well-rotted organic matter is dug in.
Going Green With the ground still warm from the summer sun and moisture levels in the soil increasing, September is the perfect time to create a new lawn. Using grass seed is far cheaper than using reasonable quality turf, plus you can choose a suitable grass mixture for the site and it is easy to shape the lawn without having to cut pieces of turf.

September is the perfect time to create a new lawn Clear the area you wish to sow by removing all weeds (including their roots), any old grass and any debris. Dig out or kill off any perennial weeds before you sow the lawn, either by hand or with a suitable weedkiller. One containing glyphosate will be carried down to the plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots or rhizomes but will be deactivated on contact with the soil, meaning grass seed can be sown straight away. Dig the area over completely and consider the texture. Ideally you want a light,

If you think the site is not level, drive in pegs along each side of the patch. Mark each peg at the same distance from the top and tap them in to the same height, using the mark as your guide. Use a spirit level and (if necessary) string attached between the pegs to check the levels, then re-rake the soil using the markers on the pegs as a guide.

It will be about three weeks before the seedlings emerge and then about ten weeks before the lawn can be cut, so bear this in mind when choosing your time to start.
Next, rake over the soil repeatedly to achieve a good level surface that is free from large stones, any plant remains and other debris. Gauging the level by eye is normally adequate, but if necessary use a system of pegs and a spirit level.

Use four XSWXUQHG ¿RZHUSRWV WR PDUN the corners of a one metre square plot and distribute the seed evenly over the plot, thus showing you how the lawn seed should look when sown correctly. Obviously there is no need to mark out each square metre, but with this as a guide you should do perfectly well.
Never sow too thinly as this encourages weeds to invade and makes a thin and motheaten looking lawn initially. You should also avoid sowing too thickly as this will create poor-quality seedlings that are more inclined to die off because of the damp, muggy and overcrowded conditions. If you have a large lawn it may be worth considering borrowing or hiring a machine to sow the seed, but for most gardens hand sowing is perfect. Sow the entire area with the lawn seed and then lightly rake a thin layer
of soil over the seed, so that much of it is at least partially incorporated into the soil.

If birds are likely to be a problem, use a system of twigs or canes with taut cotton tied between them to keep the birds off the area. Alternatively, use garden netting but make sure whatever you use is taut, or birds may get tangled up in it. By Pippa Greenwood

Check the heading, as this determines the way the curtain will hang: usually, a tape sewn to the top of the fabric is pulled to form either loose gathers or more formal pleats, and is hooked onto curtain rings. Other styles include tab, tie, eyelet or hemmed tops, which look decorative but can sometimes be harder to draw.
Choosing A Window Treatment Curtains, blinds or even shutters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the right window treatment can make or break a room. We look at how to choose the best option for your home. While maintaining privacy and blocking early-morning light may be their primary functions, window treatments are also a key part of an interior design scheme, adding colour, pattern, texture and an essential element of sophistication. They can also correct a badly proportioned window, disguise DQ XQDWWUDFWLYH YLHZ žOWHU EULJKW light and provide a visual link between inside and out. But where should one start?
