L

ets go and have a picnic! That statement is usually made with so much enthusiasm. Of course I want to go! It will be a perfect day, one to treasure for all time. One for the ages! But then what happens? Inevitably, you will end up having a horrendous time, throwing your hands in the air saying ‘this is it! This is the last picnic I will ever go on’.

And do you know why? Because picnics are simply awful.

Picnicists say they enjoy eating outside with fresh air and a scenic view. But that poor excuse does not outweigh all the negative factors that make picnicking a lot like hard work. You see, us humans struggled for thousands of years to build a world where meals can be eaten in a special part of their home, with all the clean and comfortable household furniture and appliances at our fingertips.

It doesn’t matter who you go with. It doesn’t matter where you go, if its a picnic it’s going to be terrible. Run in the opposite direction when the word picnic is mentioned. They just don’t make any sense. Would you make lasagna to eat on your neighbour’s lawn? Then there’s the time it takes to get everything ready. Then there are the ants and bugs. We are choosing here to dine, sitting in grass scattered with dog faeces, with flies that were munching on rotten meat in a rubbish bin an hour prior. Then it will rain - sorry no, not rain - pour down.

Have I mentioned horseflies?

Book Review

Identifying Cap Badges a family historian’s guide AUTHOR: GRAHAM BANDY

HIGHLIGHTS • Clear, concise and easy to follow pictures and descriptions to help you identify British Army cap badges.

• Pictures of almost all the cap badges of the British Army, past and present.

• Original photographs to help date and contextualise your own.

• Short regimental histories for each badge, alongside a ‘family tree’ of amalgamations.

• Foreword by Richard Kemp, former head of COBR. In this incredibly informative book author Graham Bandy – a highly regarded expert on vintage photograph identification, cap badges and an old soldier who has appeared on the BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are? several times – gives an easy-to-follow but thoroughly detailed guide on how to identify cap badges. These badges, which were first introduced by the British Army and are now common in armed forces worldwide, identify the regiments and corps that soldiers belong to and are highly prized by collectors, with rare examples being worth many hundreds of pounds.

For budding family historians or anyone interested in identifying an old photograph of a relative who served in the military this book is an invaluable resource as, in addition to the excellent information on cap badges the author also gives information on how to correctly date military uniforms in photographs, allowing precise details of when an ancestor served in the military and therefore what wars they might have served in.

Quality, bespoke dentures direct to the public

“I cannot praise highly enough the service I’ve received from Rob Taggart. I’m not new to dentures but this is the first time I’ve been treated by a Clinical Dental Technician who actually makes the dentures, rather than the Dentist.

With Rob’s first-hand experience every part of the process was clearly explained, and all questions answered. Extra care was taken to ensure a perfect fit; correct shade and much careful thought given to cosmetic appearance.The whole experience was quick, efficient and very friendly and after only 10 days I’ve had no discomfort whatsoever and can eat anything.I’d happily recommend Rob Taggart’s Dental Services to anyone needing New Dentures.”

TREES FOR SMALL GARDENS written by LOCAL ARBORIST ANDREW EDGAR [ORCHARD TREE SURGERY & MAINTENANCE] Read this article in full – visit www.village-link.co.uk

W

e all love our trees but it is important to remember that underground, any tree’s root system can spread rapidly. Typically tree roots are fairly shallow with the majority of the root system found in the top 60cm of soil and the roots can spread far beyond the spread of the branches as they stretch out in search of oxygen and nutrients.

Spreading tree roots can damage drains and sewer pipes.

When this happens it can cause blocked pipes, sewerage to back up in the home and reduce drainage; causing a problem for your own property and sometimes interfering with your neighbour’s system too.

Let’s check out some facts about troublesome tree roots and sewer pipes.

Who is responsible for tree root damage to drains UK? The owner of the tree is responsible for tree root damage.

So if this occurs in your own property, it is down to you to take steps to clear the blockage.

You may be covered by your buildings insurance which covers underground services such as drains cables and tanks.

If your tree has damaged your neighbour’s property, you will be liable for damages under the law of nuisance. This means that if your neighbour complains that your tree root is blocking their drain, it is important to keep them onside and deal with the issue as soon as possible.

www.orchardtreesurgery.co.uk

Will drain cleaner remove roots?

Although tree roots can block drains and sewer pipes, they rarely cause the initial damage. A tree root will only enter the drain or sewer pipe if it is cracked or damaged already.

If the pipework is watertight and in good condition the tree root will usually grow round it without impacting the system.

Therefore, the best thing to do to prevent tree root damage is to keep your drains maintained.

It is important to remember that if your drain has suffered a blockage because of tree roots, removing the tree is unlikely to fix the problem. In this case you need to consult a drainage expert to rectify the issues with your damaged pipe work such as by repairing the lining.

If you do not, it is likely that other vegetation and other tree roots will cause a repeat of the problem.

It seems unfair that tree roots get the blame for causing all the damage to pipe work and drainage systems, but as the law stands, the responsibility of a blocked pipe comes down to the owner of the tree, rather than the owner of a defective drainage system.

Always get some professional advice about drainage before you act It is important to get some professional advice before you do anything about your troublesome tree roots. Many trees are cut down each year in order to placate neighbours or remove a potential problem to your own property, yet in many cases the fault lies with dodgy pipework rather than tree roots.
