Wow what a month! Spring seems to have sprung! Weather is starting to improve and all around the flowers are springing into life! We have just come back from Crufts, where T and Gromit showed their heart out and brought home a 4th each and a 2nd! Well done to my beautiful boys! Easter is on the horizon, will you be out and about? If you are thinking of a new thing to try with your dogs, I highly recommend the agility sessions at A1K9s at Fenton, T has a wonderful time there and leaves feeling fully exercised, mentally as well as physically. They do great puppy socialization and training classes too. And if you are looking for a trip down memory lane, why not visit the Memorabilia Experience at Collingham Village Hall, on 30th April, get it in the diary now! Promises to be a wonderful day out and brings back days gone by! Easter is also the start of the traditional DIY months, so get down to Newark Paint & Hardware’s new store, for all your DIY needs. Have a great Easter!

Four Strange Cat Behaviours Explained Cats are amusing and fun to be around, but sometimes their behaviour just seems downright bizarre. If you’ve ever wondered why your cat behaves in a certain way, from kneading its paws to eating plastic bags, we might be able to offer a little insight. Head butts - When your cat bumps its head against you, it means they’re trying to bond and is an expression of affection. They’re also demonstrating trust in you and marking you out as a ‘member of their club’. Staring - Staring is a common trait in cats, if a little unnerving when you’re on the receiving end. They generally stare at their prey before pouncing, but in your case it could be a determined request for food or entertainment. You should also rule out any potential medical reasons if their pupils are constantly dilated - it could be the result

A Vets Voice By Mark Lainchbury

A Dog Called iPod iPod is a small poodle of a certain age. His memory is not great and he's got camera problems. Unfortunately he has has had too many eye infections over the last months. Eye pod issues so to speak. It's getting him down. Life seems to be beset by a crusty itchy red eyed viewpoint with too much bathing and too many eye drops by an enthusiastic owner. It's often caused by a low tear flow. A simple test can be done to measure the tear flow. It's called a Schirmer Tear Test. IPod had very low tear levels. This meant his eyes were too dry and prone to infection. Keratitis Sicca is the posh name for it -inflammation resulting from dry eyes. It's especially common in spaniels. The gland that produces tears is attacked by the animals own body cells in an autoimmune reaction. A bit like the human body which rejects a donated kidney in a transplant patient, unless medication is given daily to suppress the rejection. A similar medication can be used as a "iDrop" or an ointment which when put into the eye suppresses the body and in cases like iPod it stops the rejection of the tear gland and harmony is restored. Thus iPod was back checking through the iTunes Store in no time at all looking for something to howl at. 6

of an eye or other health issue. Eating plastic - Eating non-food items such as plastic, paper, wool or even electrical cords may be a sign of ‘pica’. This is an eating disorder WKDW FDQ EH FDXVHG E\ GLHWDU\ GHĂ€FLHQF\ VWUHVV boredom or in some cases an underlying health problem. Kneading - When your cat sits on your knee and starts to knead, it’s a sign of contentment and is usually accompanied by a loud purring. They also have scent glands on the bottom of their paw pads, and may be kneading to leave their scent behind – effectively claiming you as their own. http://www.pethealthnetwork.com/cat-health/catEHKDYLRU VWUDQJH FDW EHKDYLRUV Ă€QDOO\ H[SODLQHG http://www.vetstreet.com/our-pet-experts/10-strange-catbehaviors-explained http://www.sheknows.com/pets-and-animals/ DUWLFOHV UDQGRP FDW EHKDYLRUV Ă€QDOO\ explained/page:2 By Ann Haldon

Your honeymoon… memorable for all the rights reasons! As a Travel Consultant, I attend lots of wedding fairs and meet lots of couples about to set off on what for many is the most exciting, difficult and, hopefully, happiest journey they’ll ever make – married life – without a guide, map, or idea of where it’ll take them or what to expect when they get there. I try to ensure their honeymoon isn’t so haphazard and unpredictable but is truly memorable for all the right reasons, wherever in the world they’d like to go. Here’s an example… When asked about when they’re getting married and going on honeymoon, their ‘perfect dream destination’, and what they want to do, the commonest answer is “August, Maldives, relax in the sun”. When asked about budget, some say something like, “We’ve seen a fantastic deal on a room-only basis”. None of which bodes well for a fabulous honeymoon or a flying start to married life. The Maldives are beautiful when the sun shines but August is in the wet season and even Paradise looks drab under a grey sky and heavy downpour. Still, when the clouds roll back and the sun comes out, the sunsets can be spectacular. Over-water Villas are a regular feature in the Maldives but you won’t find a MackyD’s so you’re totally reliant on the resort for all your food and

Underw ater Rest aurant a nd Wine Cellar

drink… in fact, for everything! And unless you’re All Inclusive, you’ll get stung for everything! Anantara Kihavah Villas ‘Sea’ underwater wine cellar and restaurant is a real feast for the senses, offering world class wines and gourmet food in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. Watch fish swim by whilst tucking into a freshly caught Maldivian spiny lobster… but who’s watching whom? The diving in the Maldives is fantastic but the water’s clearest and the colours of the reef are most vivid in dry season when the sun’s shining. How can a Travel Consultant help you have the best honeymoon possible? By giving advice on: • Your dream destination, how to get there, where to stay, accommodation, board basis, activities and so much more • When and where to go for good weather • Getting the best possible

honeymoon within your budget • Putting together a seamless itinerary so you’re not left stranded in some desolate airport in the middle of the night with nowhere to go • Where to avoid political unrest, health scares such as Zika virus which is of real concern for newlyweds and, for same-sex couples places where they might encounter intolerance and hostility or even be breaking the law • Comprehensive Travel and Medical insurance which is compulsory – airlines and cruise lines can refuse to carry you on international flights or sailings if you don’t have adequate insurance – and essential, especially outside the EU • Entry requirements including passports and visas… and so much more!

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

You'll be working hard to improve your financial situation at the start of the month. Demanding a raise, increasing your fees and applying for a better paid job are all possibilities. The Full Moon on the 11th will cause a power struggle in a close relationship. Beware of assuming a dictatorial attitude with your romantic or business partner.

A career opportunity that seems tailormade for you will become available. Do everything in your power to land this position. Update your CV, gather a list of references and put together impressive samples of your work. The New Moon on the 26th will put you squarely in the spotlight, where you belong.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st Working on a commission or freelance basis could pay off nicely at the beginning of the month. You'll easily outperform the competition at this stimulating time. On the 11th, the Full Moon will cause arguments among friends. As much as you hate to do so, you will have to take sides. The days surrounding Easter will be perfect for enjoying domestic pursuits.

Easter will bring quality time with your favourite friends and relatives.

GEMINI

LIBRA

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

You'll get help from an undisclosed friend at the beginning of April. Don't question your luck when you receive a big windfall. Instead, give thanks for it by making a donation to your favourite charity. The Full Moon on the 11th could make you realise that a troubled romantic relationship isn't worth your time or your energy.

Go over financial statements with a fine toothed comb during the first half of the month. Report unusual activity or unrecognised charges as soon as possible.

Working with a partner will help you make a cherished dream come true in the opening days of April. Don't let pessimistic relatives and colleagues break your stride. A friend from your past will try to reconnect with you; recalling old times will jog some forgotten memories. The Full Moon on the 11th could bring a tense family situation to a head.

A partner is encouraging you to make a bold move. Thanks to their support, you'll be taking decisions and moving forward at a rate you never dreamt possible. The New Moon on the 26th could mark the beginning of a fruitful business partnership or passionate romance. This alliance will cause your creative juices to flow freely.

Your powerful magnetism attracts many admirers at the beginning of April. If you're single, you'll enjoy playing the dating game. Do you have a partner? It will feel like you're enjoying a second honeymoon with your amour.. The Full Moon on the 11th will find you facing off with an oppressive authority figure.

AQUARIUS January 21st - Feb 19th Home improvements will make daily life much easier; use the early days of April to make repairs or upgrade the kitchen or bathroom. On the 11th, the Full Moon will cause arguments about religion, politics and culture to erupt. Instead of adding fuel to the fire, listen carefully to all points of view. Reconnect with friends and family at Easter.

PISCES Feb 20th - March 20th Joining a professional or creative organisation will be empowering in the early days of April and set a trend for times to come. On the 26th, the New Moon will give you a chance to acquire some valuable skills. Learning how to make furniture or repair equipment will give you a great feeling of satisfaction.

Wheezes and Sneezes: How to Tackle Hay Fever of steroid nasal spray users were using them correctly in the study).

Hay fever or seasonal allergies can be caused by the pollen of numerous trees, grasses or plants and it affects around 18 million people in the UK. DIAGNOSIS If you’re unsure it’s hay fever causing your symptoms, see your GP. They may refer you for an allergen test to determine whether you’re allergic to pollen or other organic material such as animal hair or dust mites. A skin prick test only tests for the most common allergens, so it may be inconclusive. Your skin is pricked and exposed to a tiny dose of allergen - it should react if you’re allergic. A blood test for the Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody, produced when you encounter pollen, may also be used. Symptoms Symptoms can range from mild to life-impacting: • itchy and/or runny nose • sneezing • irritated, itchy, watery eyes TREATING HAY FEVER How you treat your hay fever will depend on the type and severity of your symptoms. Research by Allergy UK in 2014 showed that 62% of sufferers found their current medication ineffective – yet they failed to seek better alternatives or didn’t use it properly (only 14% 18

Ask a pharmacist for advice on the right medication and alternatives if it’s ineffective. Ensure you follow doctor’s, pharmacist’s and manufacturer’s instructions carefully. See your GP if over the counter treatments aren’t working, or you develop sinus or ear infections. Oral Medications (Tablets and Liquids) Antihistamines block the action of histamine, a chemical triggered by allergen exposure, to reduce or stop your allergic reaction. They may not relieve a blocked nose but are usually effective against other symptoms. As a preventative, they work best if taken regularly and started in advance of high pollen count periods. They can also be taken as required when symptoms begin. Some older antihistamines (e.g. chlorpheniramine, known as Piriton) make you drowsy and can affect your ability to do your job or drive. However, most people now choose newer, nonsedating antihistamines (e.g. Loratadine). Steroids are only usually used short-term if other medications aren’t working or if your hay fever causes or aggravates asthma. They reduce symptoms E\ UHGXFLQJ LQÁDPPDWLRQ Nasal Sprays and Drops Decongestant nasal sprays unblock your nose but can cause rebound congestion after a few days, so only use them for occasional relief or as an additional treatment on days

when symptoms are severe. Steroid nasal sprays or drops prevent and reduce LQÁDPPDWLRQ LQ WKH QDVDO lining and can help relieve eye itchiness too. Antihistamine nasal sprays relieve an itchy nose and reduce sneezing. Eyedrops Antihistamine eyedrops reduce itchiness and watering. Inhalers and Injections If seasonal allergies cause or exacerbate asthma, you may be offered a steroid inhaler and/or a ‘reliever’, such as salbutamol (‘Ventolin’). Injectable medications may sometimes be recommended if steroids aren’t adequate. Monoclonal antibody treatments (‘mabs’) such as Xolair block a substance involved in allergic reactions. Immunotherapy If your symptoms are persistent or severe, your doctor may suggest immunotherapy to progressively build allergen immunity. A specialist will gradually introduce your body to small amounts of allergen by injection or a sublingual tablet and monitor your reaction. Treatment is started three months before your trigger pollen season. PREVENTION Reduce pollen contact by avoiding drying washing outside, showering before bed and closing windows.

As our gardens start to JURZ DQG EORVVRP ÀOOV the trees, it’s time to think about refreshing and re-energising our homes ready for a stylish spring. Clear the clutter There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned tidy up! Heavy winter duvets, furry throws and cable-knit hot water bottles can all be stored out of the way, while at the same time this is a good opportunity to go through shelves and cupboards and get rid of anything you no longer need. If it’s broken, mend it or throw it away; don’t let worn out, unusable and unnecessary items take up space.

Have a brush with paint Has your paintwork seen better days? Perhaps windows need sanding and repainting, or door frames need touch-ups where they’ve had knocks and bashes? Or maybe a whole room could do with a makeover? Painting is a relatively quick and inexpensive DIY job that creates an overall impression going above and beyond the effort involved. Introduce colour Now’s the time to ditch dark winter shades and get fresh with spring-like colour.

Motoring

By James Baggott

New Audi Q5

Replacing ultra-successful cars is never easy for a manufacturer, but that’s the challenge Audi has faced with the Q5, the brand’s best-selling SUV. Built at the manufacturer’s most advanced ‘smart factory’ in Mexico, the refreshed offroader is packed with clever technology, features revised engines and a fresh look that the maker hopes will continue to win over buyers. But has it done enough? LOOKS AND IMAGE The new Q5 may be a little OHVV Ă DVK\ WKDQ LWV -DJXDU F-Pace rival, but that smart new octagonal nose, dramatic headlights and sharp body creases give it fantastic presence on the road. That’s helped by a wonderfully squat stance and perfect proportions. Inside the quality is clear. Solid, good quality materials are everywhere and the leather seats are comfortable and perfectly adjustable. There is plenty of space around the driver and logically placed controls for the multimedia system. There’s also a three-zone climate control system, an optional Bang & Olufsen sound 38

system, and the optional virtual cockpit, which replaces the dials with a 12.3-inch high resolution display. SPACE AND PRACTICALITY The new Q5 is bigger and wider than its predecessor – but still 90kg lighter. Inside there’s more headroom and rear knee-room, while boot space is up 10 litres. Two adults will sit comfortably in the back, but a large transmission tunnel seriously eats into rear legroom in the middle seat. Safety systems are plentiful and buyers can opt for active lane assist, pre-sense assistance which helps detect if a crash is imminent and can apply the EUDNHV IRU \RX DQG FURVV WUDIÀF assistance at the rear that will help when pulling out of parking VSDFHV ,Q VORZ PRYLQJ WUDIÀF it’s even partly autonomous, slowing down and speeding up in jams while keeping you in your lane. WHAT’S UNDER THE BONNET? There are three engine options to pick from – but the best seller, and our pick of the bunch, is the 187bhp, 400Nm, 2.0-litre TDI, which will account for 60 per cent of sales in the

UK. This comes as standard with a clever new Quattro Ultra all-wheel drive system that can switch seamlessly between two and four-wheel drive automatically. Fuel economy is 56.5mpg with emissions of 132g/km, and it hits 60mph in 7.7 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 135mph. A 2.0-litre TFSI petrol option with 250bhp is also available. It’s capable of returning 40.9mpg and emits 157g/km. A feisty 3.0-litre V6 TDi completes the line-up, producing 284bhp and a stonking 620Nm of torque. BEHIND THE WHEEL The new Q5 is quite simply brilliant to drive. We tested the car on a variety of terrain, from motorways to cities and beaches to dirt tracks; it took them all in its stride. On the URDG LW¡V TXLHW UHĂ€QHG DQG accomplished, while in the grit it was surefooted and secure. The revised 2.0-litre diesel engine is punchy and works brilliantly when combined with the 7-speed S-tronic gearbox - overall it’s by far and away the best choice of transmission. VERDICT Audi has moved the game on with its new Q5 but not ruined a recipe that has won it so many admirers. Stylish, comfortable and great to drive, it’s now packed with even more clever technology and features. With best in class performance and economy, and some highly tempting optional extras, we’d be very surprised if any of its rivals managed to usurp it at the top of the sales charts any time soon.
