Our Private Care Service carers can come to your house and help to prepare fresh, ready made or light meals. This help can form part of a tailored package of care that could help you stay in your own home for longer, rather than going into a care home before its really needed. We can assist those who need help due to frailty, disability or illness to live as independently as possible, with comfort and dignity, in their own home.

Hi everyone,
It’s Chocolate time! Just as I’ve managed to knock off a few of the pounds I gained at Christmas, Easter arrives with all the temptation of chocolate. When I was young I was fussy about the fl avours and types I enjoyed but these days, in my more mature years, my taste has broadened to the point where any chocolate is a delight, whether it’s milk or plain, with almost anything in the centre (not Turkish Delight!) I will put my feet up and enjoy a moment or two in that world where the Cadbury’s Flake girl used to stroll (now I’m showing my age!).
Anyway enough of that, there’s far more to Easter than chocolate, it’s the begining of spring and hopefully the weather will refl ect that. It’s time to clear out those cupboards, spring clean, decorate or, weather permitting, begin to tackle the garden. I’m sure we will all be busy bees in one way or another, whether your focus is on social or domestic activities you’ll fi nd ideas and help within these page. Why not check out some of our new advertisers.
Have a great Easter ~ Debbie

April By Jo Arnell
Do you remember last April? The month they forecasted the drought that turned into a deluge? Humans (and that includes gardeners) fi nd unexpected weather diffi cult, to say the least, and if we fi nd it hard to cope with, think about the plants. That poor Lavender; basking in the early spring sunshine, happily anticipating a long hot dry summer, only to be drowned out for months. Or what about Hostas? They must have been relieved that the drought that never happened didn’t happen - until the slugs and snails came back. Light and temperature levels were so low last year that many crops refused to ripen, and weeds were left to romp about unchecked, because it was too cold and wet to do much gardening.
We must be more ready this year. But for what? Drought? Floods? Hurricanes? Yes probably. Unpredictable weather is hard to prepare for, but there are a few things we can do to lessen the damage:
- While the soil is still damp it’s a good idea to mulch the borders to prevent excess moisture loss and help stop the weeds. Stake
plants against stormy, windy weather and do it early, before they put on too much top growth. That way they’ll hide the supports as they grow up through them.
- Grow Mediterranean plants in pots so that they don’t get waterlogged and perhaps make a water retaining bog garden for all those that like to have their feet in damp soil.
- Step up the slug patrol. Last year’s excessive rain made manna for molluscs - they will have multiplied and massed their ranks, so prepare for battle. Grow more annuals, as they only have to last a season and don’t have to try and eke it out through a hard winter. Use hardy old favourite plants more creatively, rather than gambling with more tender, fussy perennials.
So come hell and high water, or hell and no water, this year let’s try to make the best of things. Gardeners are good at that, and if we fail again, well, there’s always next year.

Do you have clutter in your cupboards, or fur balls all over your fl oor? Does your fridge need defrosting, do your windows need washing and your sink require a good scrub? Are you closer to being the goddess of grime than the queen of clean? Spring sunshine is notorious for pointing out the fl aws – whether they be major or minor – in your housework routine, and now could be the ideal time to don your apron, snap on your Marigolds and refresh your home from top to bottom.
They call it spring cleaning, but in fact there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have a good clear-out, shake-down and wash-up at any time of the year. Or, if you really can’t bear the thought of tackling every room at once (and let’s face it, we’re not all so domestically inclined), you could divide it into manageable tasks, and spend perhaps an hour a week – or
else tackle one room at a time – until your home feels truly transformed.
Having decided to make a fresh start, where should you begin? The obvious place is with a good, old-fashioned tidy up, paying attention to all your tables, shelves, fl oors and other surfaces, inside kitchen and bathroom cupboards, bedroom wardrobes and chests of drawers, and anywhere else that mess has gradually accumulated.
Once you have cleared the space, you are almost ready to begin. But not quite. Good preparation will, in the long run, really pay off . Make a list of what needs doing (this may be rather time-consuming, but will be worth it in the end) and allocate some time for each chore. Then dig out appropriate clothing. What to wear will depend on the task at hand, and the types of tools and cleaners you’ll be using, but should include an old shirt
and trousers, and could also mean rubber gloves, sturdy shoes, a headscarf, overall or apron and a dust mask or safety goggles.
Next, assemble your equipment – from brooms and scrubbing brushes to buckets and cloths. Having it all ready beforehand will save time and eff ort later. And the last piece of preparation is to fi nd the cleaning products you’ll require, including an all-purpose household cleaner, washing-up liquid, furniture polish, non-chlorine bleach, anti-mildew tile and bath cleaner and window cleaner. Store them in a heavy-duty caddy with a handle.
At last, you’re ready to begin. Refer back to your list of what needs doing – you’ll see it divides into fi ve main areas: vacuuming, dusting, mopping/scrubbing, washing and wiping, and polishing. There will also be specifi c tasks which vary from room

to room, such as turning mattresses, spot-cleaning upholstery, cleaning the oven, defrosting the fridge, descaling the shower head and beating rugs. Now is also a good time to sort out those less frequently required jobs such as steam-cleaning the carpets or having the chimney swept.
Before you embark, bear in mind the basic principles of cleaning: work from top to bottom (dust the light fi tting before polishing the table beneath) and tackle dry before wet (vacuum before mopping, obviously). As you work, try to be organised, whether you work one room at a time, or one task at a time. Put some music on and really throw yourself into
it. Once you start, you may well fi nd that you enjoy the entire process far more than you ever thought you would. With a little forethought, preparation and organisation, spring cleaning can be a rewarding activity that will restore your home to its rightful place as a peaceful haven that is well-kept, tidy and gleamingly, squeaky clean.
By Katherine Sorrell
FIVE OLD-FASHIONED CLEANING TIPS
• Polish chrome taps with vinegar, a little baking soda on a damp cloth or a gentle rub of white toothpaste
• To dust carved wooden furniture, put a dab of furniture cream on a damp cloth, and hold it over the bristles of a soft toothbrush – you will be able to work your way into all the cracks and crevices
• De-grease a vinyl fl oor (under the oven, for example) by rubbing with a halved lemon, then mop with an all-purpose cleaner
• Spot-clean upholstery by gently rubbing in a little foamy shaving cream and removing with a clean, damp cloth
• Beat a rug by hanging it over a washing line and using a tennis racket

Seasonal DelightsSpiced Rack of Lamb
with Fragrant RiceServes 4 Ready in 1 hour
Perfect for a spring Sunday
lunch or stylish supper this
quick and easy lamb dish is
full of fl avor. Choose a couple
of meaty racks of lamb from
a good butcher and score the
layers of fat before spreading
with the harissa paste. Serve
with a cooling garlic and mint
yoghurt sauce.
Ingredients:• 1 tbsp harissa paste (see Tip)• 2 trimmed racks of lamb, each
with 6 bones• • 2 red onions, peeled and cut into
slim wedges• 50g butter• • 225g basmati rice, rinsed and
drained• 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed• 750ml vegetable stock• Generous pinch saff ron strands• 50g sultanas• 40g fl aked almonds, lightly
toasted• 2 tbsp pomegranate seeds
Tip:Harissa paste is a fi ery hot North African blend of red chilli peppers and spices – just a little goes a long way so use sparingly. You’ll fi nd it in small jars near the dried herb and spice sections in most large supermarkets.
Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, Gas 6. Spread the harissa paste over the lamb racks. Place the racks in an oiled roasting tin and add the onion wedges.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes depending on how pink you like your lamb. Remove from the oven. Cover with foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes – the lamb will be juicier and easier to carve.
Meanwhile, heat the butter in a heavy-based pan until melted and foaming. Add the rice and garlic. Fry gently for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the rice is translucent. Pour in the stock. Add the saff ron and bring to the boil, stirring.
Cover the pan with a tight fi tting lid. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook for 15-20 minutes without removing the lid until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat. Fork through to separate the grains. Add the sultanas, fl aked almonds and pomegranate seeds.
Carve the lamb racks into individual cutlets and serve immediately with the fragrant rice and roast onion wedges.

22 Considering a Cruise for Your Next Holiday Experience?If you’re new to cruise you’ll discover that there are countless diff erent types of ship, ranging in size, style and purpose. Choose from river cruises to expedition sailing and from niche operators to the more traditional style of ship. Decide between large resort style ships with rock climbing and ice-skating to exclusively intimate boutique yachts and everything in between. Some cruise ships carry 50 passengers and others can accommodate 6,000. From ship to itinerary, how to choose a cruise that’s perfect for you for you is about fi nding the right combination of all the factors.
When thinking about how to choose a cruise, you need to consider matching your character and requirements with the style of cruise - do
you like to dress up for dinner or prefer to be casual? Are you the sociable type or would you prefer to just relax at the spa with a good book on a peaceful escape? Perhaps you’re looking for adventure or an active holiday? Alternatively you may want to enjoy a cultural, city break experience. As well as British-style cruise holidays, you may also wish to consider the option of an American or European-style cruise for a new holiday experience.
The large resort style cruise ships have an extensive choice of activities and entertainment with a variety of programmes on off er for all ages. They provide numerous dining choices together with varied dress codes and are great for multi-generational families because there’s something for everyone. On these types of cruise ship the on board activities are as much a part of the whole holiday experience as the fantastic destinations you’ll visit.
Whether you’re new to cruise or a seasoned cruise guest, it’s important to fi nd the right ship to compliment your tastes and needs. There are various dining options which may include speciality restaurants with menus designed by celebrity chefs. There are those that provide children’s clubs together with a wide choice of activities and entertainment, while others off er a more traditional style of cruising.
River cruises off er a great alternative to classic ocean cruises and are a fabulous way to see the stunning scenery and cosmopolitan gems inland. The ships are long and narrow, with large windows and mostly outward facing rooms so you can see the constantly changing landscape of the riverbank. A river cruise gives you a great opportunity to explore cities in the evening, as they often remain in port far later than ocean cruise ships.

Buying a property with someone else? Make sure you protect your interests!
In the latest in our regular series of articles regarding legal matters, Katrina Kemp, Trainee Solicitor at Pengelly & Rylands, gives some advice on buying a property with another party.
If you are looking to buy a property jointly with someone else, you can hold the ownership as either “Joint Tenants” or “Tenants in Common”.
Joint tenants both own the whole of a property and are entitled to an equal and undivided share in it. On the death of one of the joint owners, the property passes automatically to the survivor, whatever the Will of the deceased party might say. This method is most commonly used by married couples (however, in the event of divorce and a sale of the property, the presumption that the proceeds should be shared equally between the parties may be overturned by the court). Joint tenancy can be changed to tenants in common if your situation changes. This is called “severing the joint tenancy”.
Tenants in common have an undivided share in the property. That share could be equal or unequal. Tenants in common is most suited if you are putting unequal amounts of money into the property and you want this to be refl ected in your shares of ownership. The following few examples may refl ect your situation:
1. If you are contributing towards your off spring’s fi rst home you may want to hold a share in the property as tenants in common. Your solicitor could prepare a trust deed to refl ect the share you have contributed, how and when you will be repaid and who will be responsible for the property. When the property is sold you will be entitled to the share of the sale proceeds as stated in the trust deed.
2. When buying a house with your partner it is best to discuss how you want to hold the ownership of the property. It may be unromantic but it can prevent any legal battles in the future. Where partners are not married it is more common to hold as tenants in common and to have a trust deed. If you have contributed in unequal shares it is important a trust deed is drafted stating what shares are agreed.
Katrina Kemp, Trainee Solicitor
3. If you want to invest in a property for business or with family you might consider holding the property as tenants in common. A trust deed should refl ect the respective shares and mention how the property will be maintained and/or mortgage payments are to be met.
On the death of a tenant in common, the share of the deceased joint owner will not pass automatically to the survivor, but in accordance with the terms of their Will or under the rules of intestacy rules. It is therefore imperative your Will is kept up-to-date.
If you would like us to act in your sale or purchase, draft a trust deed, change your ownership from joint tenants to tenants in common (or vice versa), update your Will or off er further legal advice please call us on 01580 762248.

Our members come from lots of villages including Aldington, Bilsington, Ruckinge, Hamstreet and Bromley Green and this year sees a real fundraising drive to boost funds for the group. We’re starting out by blazing a ‘Tuppenny Trail’ in July and want EVERYONE to get involved. It’s not diffi cult, we simply want you to take a Tuppenny Tub and put your two-pence coins into it. Then hand them in to any member of the local group or – even better – bring them along to the Victory Hall Hamstreet on 13th July and help create the lines of coins.
All the children will be either a Tuppenny Tiger or a Ruckinge Rooster so you can choose which team to support. Will you take a Tuppenny Tub for your home and one for your workplace? And encourage your friends and family to do likewise? Ask any Scout or Guide, Cub or Brownie, Beaver or Rainbow to bring you a Tub or phone me.
Also in July we plan to hold a Concert in Ruckinge Church with young but talented musicians displaying their skills. Beautiful voices, great music, great fun! More details of A Little Light Music to follow but put the evening of Friday 19th July into your diary right away.SCRAP METAL COLLECTION … many of you already know that I collect scrap metal and turn it into cash for the Scouts & Guides, so keep bringing it to my porch or phone me. I only want Aluminium, Brass, Copper, Plated items or Electric Cable, please … although I’ll take gold or silver if you really insist!CALL ME NOW FOR YOUR TUPPENNY TUB … and let’s all get behind our young people.Margaret Hanlon 01233 732684 [email protected] 28 Willow Drive, Hamstreet

On July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 lunar module, Neil Armstrong was the fi rst person to set foot on the moon. His fi rst words after stepping on the moon were, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” It was televised to earth and heard by millions.*But just before he re-entered the lander to come back to earth he made the enigmatic remark “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.”
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet cosmonaut, however, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.
Over the years, many people questioned Armstrong as to what the - ‘Good luck, Mr. Gorsky’ statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26-year-old question about Mr Gorsky to Armstrong. This time he fi nally responded
because Mr. Gorsky had died, so Neil Armstrong felt he could now answer the question. Here is the answer to “who was Mr Gorsky”:
In 1938, when Armstrong was a kid in a small mid-western town, he was playing baseball with a friend in their backyard. His friend hit the ball, which landed in his neighbour’s yard by their bedroom window. His neighbours were Mr. and Mrs.Gorsky.
As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs Gorsky shouting at Mr Gorsky, “Sex! You want sex?! You’ll get sex when that kid next door walks on the moon!”
It broke the place up. Neil Armstrong’s family confi rmed this is a true story.

89k on the clock but had a replacement engine so the current engine has only done around 50k. In the last few weeks fi tted a new Catalytic Converter and new front disks and pads. There are no lights on the dash, it starts and stops perfectly and the gearbox is all working correctly, tires are all good as well.
The only niggle is a bit of wear on the drivers seat bolster which I have covered with tape to stop it getting any worse, other than that it is in good condition. This is a practical and comfortable car and as you can see from the pictures the body work is in good condition with just a couple of minor age related marks here and there.
