Newport, Pembs, SA42 0LT Five things you should know about dementia
www.pembrokeshiredentalcentre.co.uk 1. Dementia is not a natural part of ageing
It’s true that dementia is more common among over-65s, and some of us do become more forgetful as we get older or during times of stress or illness. But dementia is a different sort of forgetfulness. Your memory loss will be more noticeable, and may be accompanied by mood changes and confusion. It’s important to ask your GP to check out any unusual symptoms as these can sometimes be treated with appropriate medication.
2. Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain
Dementia is the name for a collection of symptoms that include memory loss, mood changes and problems with communication and reasoning. These symptoms are brought about by a number of diseases that cause changes in the brain. The most common of these is Alzheimer’s disease, which changes the chemistry and structure of the brain causing the brain cells to die. Other types of dementia include vascular dementia and Pick’s disease.
3. It’s not just about losing your memory
People often think of dementia as a form of memory loss. And usually it does start by affecting people’s short-term memory. But it’s more than that - it can also affect the way people think, speak, perceive things, feel and behave. Dementia makes it harder to communicate and do everyday things, but there is a lot that can be done to help. Every year we understand more about dementia, and develop new strategies that can help to boost someone’s confidence and maintain their independence for as long as possible.
Pembrokeshire Dental Centre
4. It’s possible to live well with dementia
Most of us have an image in our mind of what life with dementia looks like. That image is often very bleak. So it can be very surprising to learn that many people with dementia continue to drive, socialise and hold down satisfying jobs. Even as dementia progresses, many people lead active, healthy lives, continue their hobbies, and enjoy loving friendships and relationships. Of course dementia does make it harder to do certain things, but with the right knowledge and support it is possible for someone with dementia to get the very best out of life.
5. There’s more to a person than the dementia
01239 820083
The inspirational people we work with are living proof that life doesn’t end when dementia begins. When someone is diagnosed, their plans for the future might change and they may need more help and support to keep doing the things they enjoy - but dementia doesn’t change who they are.

Prepare your garden in spring Spring – always welcome, and never more so than after the truly horrendous winter we’ve had here on the West Coast. Hopefully with Winter now a distant memory, Spring brings with it more opportunities to get out into the garden and give it some TLC after the battering of the past few months. There’s plenty to be getting on with – here are our Spring gardening tips to keep you on track and your garden beautiful! WORDS Sally Sellwood IMAGE Winnond at FreeDigitalPhotos.net

Your priority will most probably be to get on top of the weeds before they run riot, and to get on with sowing seeds for the rest of the year. To do list Spring is the time to get to grips with your borders. Weed and tidy them up, then mulch with manure or compost. It’s also a good time to lift and divide herbaceous perennials, and prune your roses. Cut back dogwood and willow for colourful interest next Winter.

As space becomes available inside your greenhouse, you can pot up cuttings taken from tender perennials, and take more cuttings from the largest plants if necessary to bulk up plant numbers. As the season progresses, weeding remains a priority. However, with the growing season well and truly underway you’ll start to see rewards from your efforts. As you move into April, make sure

to keep on top of feeding hungry shrubs and roses and other plants that may need it. Tie in climbing and rambling roses, and watch out for late frosts! By May, you should find the herbaceous borders starting to come into their own. Take the opportunity to divide overcrowded clumps of daffodils and other spring flowering bulbs, and as the month draws to an end, plant out summer bedding.

Police News Join Our Pegasus Scheme
and communicate with your local force
Dyfed-Powys Police want the community to be able to make contact in a way that is convenient to them, and there are a number of options available. In certain circumstances, telephone contact or face to face is the most appropriate, however some people can find this difficult because of a disability or illness that affects their ability to communicate. In such circumstances we encourage people to sign up to the Pegasus Scheme.
I
t is a service designed to make it easier for people who live and / or work in the Dyfed Powys Police area to contact Dyfed Powys Police quickly and easily on both the 101 and 999 numbers. Application forms for the scheme are available from your local Neighbourhood Policing Team. Approach them when out and about or make a request through the police Communication Centre on 101 or through the advice section of our website www.dyfed-powys.police.uk. Registering for the scheme is free. Once a person is registered and their selected password is approved the individual is a member of the scheme. PS Alison Rees said: “The Pegasus Scheme is really simple. The caller will only have to say ‘Pegasus’ and give their password
to be identified by our call handlers. They will then have access to that person’s information and how best to communicate with that person.” Pegasus users are also provided with a Pegasus key fob to carry, so that if they are approached by Officers/PCSOs and find it difficult to communicate with them they
can show their card, provide their password to allow you access to their details. For more information about the Pegasus Scheme ask your local Neighbourhood Policing Team, visit www.dyfed-powys.police.uk or call 101. Read more from Dyfed-Powys Police at www. yourlocalcrowd.co.uk

Delicious Honest Food
in a bright & welcoming space
Stepping in somewhere on the heels of a much loved business and making it your own is always a challenge. Not all succeed, while others take up the baton and run with such confidence and enthusiasm that it’s hard to imagine it was any other way. Local baker Vicky North has clearly relished the opportunity to take over the Newport premises previously occupied by the highly thought of LouLou’s - and in a short space of time has created a new ‘must visit’ destination on the West Wales foodie map: Vic North Café Deli Classes. WORDS Sally Sellwood IMAGES © Vic North
I
’ve eaten there twice since the café opened, enjoying the bright, welcoming space that Vicky and her team have created. The addition of a large mirror on the back wall adds to the feeling of space, and the door open to the kitchen gives visitors a sense of being part of place – and a sense that there’s nothing to hide. Openness and honesty is very obvious in the plates of utterly delicious food that come from the kitchen. There’s a simple menu of hot daily specials dishes cost £7-£9 – think nourishing hotpots such as beef stew with parmesan dumplings, soups, quiche of the day such as Colton Basset, spinach & sunblush tomato . Crusty sourdough baguettes stuffed with tasty fillings (£6) offer excellent value for money. Ingredients are sourced locally and sustainably wherever possible, for the seasonal menu. On a grey day just before Christmas, I warmed myself up with steaming French onion soup accompanied by a generous chunk of cheese on toast – Vic North style: delicious sourdough, nutty gruyere. Unable to resist, I enjoyed a luscious slice of carrot cake washed down with a Coaltown coffee cappuccino. On
my second visit, a bacon, leaves and tomato baguette (£6) was the perfect plateful, accompanied with a generous helping of crunchy,

The café caters well for those who live with food allergies, with plenty of free from options & a flexible attitude enjoyed a delicious chicken, spinach & pesto lasagne: satisfying and moist without the addition of cheese. The deli currently comprises a well-stocked cheese counter featuring local favourites Hafod and Perl las as well as popular French and Italian cheeses, and a selection of gourmet ingredients, displayed on the shelving at the back of the café. The dish of the day is available to takeaway as are the popular harissa and rocket pestos. Well worth a visit – and repeat visits, I’ll definitely be going back to sample the ever changing menu of specials. I haven’t tried the breakfasts yet, either, and will be looking forward to seeing what Spring and Summer bring to the seasonal menu.

Cilgerran’s rich history
strong community and local events
Stretching along the south bank of the river Teifi, in North Pembrokeshire, is where you’ll find the village of Cilgerran. A town steeped in history, with its thirteenth century ruined castle and parish churches. WORDS Joseph Raine IMAGES © Crown copyright (2014) Visit Wales
O
nce known as one of Pembrokeshire’s main market towns in the 17th century. Once a busy area of commerce with “Kilgerran Halt” being a railway station on the Cardigan & Whitland line. Closed in 1962, falling victim to the Beeching Axe. History stands proud within Cilgerran’s castle wall. A thirteenth century castle based perched high on the craggy promontory of The River Teifi. It was the Normans that first saw the potential here, building the early ringwork for the castle. The village was captured by Lord Rhys in 1164 but was later retaken by William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke in 1204, only to be taken again by the Welsh during Llywelyn The Great’s campaign’s in 1215. It is believed that most of the castle was ruined during the Civil War, when the parlimentarians attacked the royalists inside. The historic site is now in the ownership and care of the National Trust and Cadw. Present day, Cilgerran thrives

as a village. 2013 saw the reformation of Cilgerran Rovers Football Club as they returned into the second division of the Ceredigion League. The team regularly play every other weekend at the Parc Y Dre ground. Several pubs can be found in the village, The Cardiff Arms & The Pendre Inn are just two. The local Village Hall hosts many local events but also a weekly salsa class on Wednesday’s from 7pm -10pm. Open to all from absolute beginners to advanced. great fun and an excellent alternative to the gym. If you are an avid birdwatcher head over to The Welsh Wildlife Centre. An impressive glass and timber building based on the marshlands of the river Teifi, surrounded by nature trails & birdwatching huts. Visit it’s willow maze, and the giant willow badger. The Glasshouse Café offers a great menu of both hot and cold food and well worth a visit. Dog Food Dave is the place to go for your pet food & supplies. Stocking everything from dog treats, bulk horse feed, bird of prey food and reptile food. For accomodation, there’s some real luxury to be found at Hammet House in nearby Llechryd. A beautiful Georgean country house set in glorious landscape grounds, or you could try Rhosygilwen mansion in nearby Rhoshill, home to many local events. Both

excellent venues for a wedding or special occasion. There are plenty of other B&B’s in Cilgerran, Treetops Cottage, The Old Posthouse and Cefngarth Cottage. We can’t mention Cilgerran and not mention Coracle fishing. Coracles made from wicker and animal hide, but more recently with canvas or calico, a traditional method of fishing sewin & one still practiced today. Visit the coracle centre in Cilgerran Gorge, or during the month of August, for Cilgerran’s yearly festival. A celebration that brings the village community together. The main event involves villagers and local fisherman racing the coracles in gorge. Don’t be fooled by what looks like a sleepy village, there is certainly plenty to see and do in Cilgerran. Go and explore for yourself.

Spring clean your diet
with some locally sourced seasonal fruit & vegetables
Spring has arrived, and with warm and dry weather, (we live in hope) and the longer days comes a new fresh crop of produce. Now is the time to stop eating the heavy winter stodge that keeps you comforted in the cold darker months of the year and spring clean your diet by including springtime fruits and vegetable, which are packed in nutrients and flavour. So we have complied a list of seasonal fruit and vegetables to look out for in your local farmer’s market or shop, along with some useful recipes. RECIPE Jennifer Goss Our Two Acres
Seville Orange Marmalade
So – marmalade leaves us all sitting on the fence – it’s a love or hate thing – as I have found out over the last week, what about you? I’m a hater – but for my better half, Colin, it’s ambrosia. So this year I finally relented and made him so much I have been able to give it away too, to much excitement and in some cases, not. Seville oranges are in season right now, so get to your green grocer (Ken Davies in Cardigan has some) and get you preserving pan out. Any questions about growing your own or recipes please feel free to follow me on twitter @gossifer and ask away!

T
he North Pembrokeshire town of Fishguard is a coastal phenomenon, peering into some of the most pelagic reaches of the Irish Sea, almost mirroring the land found on the other side on the Eastern Coast of Ireland. The salty sea breeze, valley hills and old fashioned buildings of Fishguard make it a far-cry from your typical “kiss me quick” seaside resort, many of which are found throughout Britain which try to unwelcomingly wriggle their way into your pocket. Fishguard does not leave much to be desired and is one of many visual delights found in Pembrokeshire. The town was known as “Fiscard”, which was it’s given name in Norse. This was until the turn of the 19th Century and the name was Anglicised. Fishguard economically developed as a salt herring and oat exporter and had many boats travelling to
larger port cities like Bristol and Liverpool. Such industry has since ceased and the economy is now largely dominated by tourism. Fishguard is made up of the Upper and Lower Towns. From Upper Fishguard you have wonderful high up sea views as well as the main town, which is bustling and full of life. The Lower Town is cut into a deep valley where the River Gwaun meets the sea. There may have less there, but is certainly picturesque and has a real old fashioned village feel. The Napoleonic Fort at Fishguard was built between 1779 and 1781 and it was armed with eight nine-pounder guns which were fired to warn off approaching French ships during the attempted French invasion of 1797. It now provides great views over Fishguard. To me, Fishguard is a special place, because it’s not just a small town that you would mindlessly pass through on your journey to somewhere nicer. It is in fact somewhere that would make you stop and explore. Visitors are cleverly attracted by small traders such as the Gourmet Pig, a delicatessen selling a variety of unique cheeses, meats, wines, pates. Need I say anything more

than it’s got a “Deli Of The Year” award to its name? In order for establishments to survive in small communities, not only do they have to accommodate to the local communities, but they have to set themselves apart from the norm and try to provide something different. Peppers in Fishguard is an example of this. Peppers is a jazz basement crossed with a fine dining bistro, art gallery and bar. The Lounge @ Number 3 also offers great food, in a relaxed and modern space. Number 3 won’t stretch your wallet out too far and The New-York style baked bailey’s cheesecake must be tried! For something a little different, try Ffwrn, a wood fire bakery, bar, café, events and music venue. Located in the old St. Mary’ Church Hall and a place with real character, something which many other modern establishments struggle with. The smell of freshly baked
bread alone is enough to tempt anyone! Café On The Quay really delivers with its perfect location, with views overlooking the harbour. The afternoon tea can’t be recommended enough or try some freshly caught crab & lobster. The perfect pit-stop as part of a Fishguard walk! There local area is made up of several pubs used by both locals and visitors alike. If you like nice old-fashioned 1950’s taverns, then The Ship Inn in Lower Fishguard is the place for you. Come and mingle with the locals at The Pendre Inn, where you can enjoy some real ale and money-friendly food, its also dog friendly and The Bridgend Inn offers a great a Sunday Lunch. Fishguard is a rarity as it is so community driven. The town’s inhabitants truly care about Fishguard. Theatr Gwaun is a great example of this. It’s a community
cinema and theatre which became a cinema in the 1920’s and a multi-arts venue in the 1990’s. Theatr Gwaun is lucky to have a strong team of volunteers to help keep this wonderful facility afloat. You may have already heard of the famous tapestry in Fishguard Town Hall. The thirty metre long piece of art portrays the 1797 last invasion of mainland Britain. If you’d like to get onto the water, then Kayak King in Lower Fishguard offer great kayak tours along the best parts of The Pembrokeshire Coast where you can truly appreciate the sea life and scenery found in this naturally beautiful corner of West Wales. This year will see the return of The Fishguard International Music Festival, which shall take place between the 19th until the 30th of July. It’s certainly going to be a tough job beating last years’ wonderful event which saw some spectacular one-off performances from the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and The Welsh National Opera Orchestra. The team and sponsors behind this years’ festival hope that this will be the best year yet and is most definitely one to pen in your diary. Fishguard is seen as one of West Wales’ gateways to Ireland. Stena Line have ferries leaving Fishguard to Rosslare with up to two ferries departing every day. This not only means that people from West Wales have easy access to Ireland but it means that Fishguard is also frequently visited by people coming from Ireland. Fishguard is generally well connected. Services from Arriva Trains Wales connect Fishguard
Harbour with Swansea, Cardiff and South Wales. There’s no excuse to not visit this beautiful town at the mouth of the River Gwaun. Book yourself into The Seaview Hotel now for luxurious accommodation with views that you’ll struggle to find anywhere else. Grab yourself a room at The Fishguard Bay Hotel, a stunning Grade 2 listed building tailed with plenty of history. You don’t have to jet out abroad to kick back and enjoy a winter or spring break. If you’re liking the sound of sea views, tasty food, coastal walks and unspoiled wildlife, then Fishguard will tick all your boxes.
