paint, finding the right colours to start their dream home. Then there’sthe curtains and soft furnishings to create the right style and look. Andwhen you have found every item you need to decorate your room, it’sback to the shops again to search for the furniture to complement yournewly decorated room! With that comes the questions, what style offurniture will go in your room? What style of furnishings will suit yourstyle of  house? Is your room a light room or do you need your wallsand furnishings to be light and bright because a lack of light? So manythings to think about!

breeze appealAs the nation celebrated The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, so did over eight hundred Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, SeniorSection and their leaders, which all gathered at Harvey HaddenSports Complex to join in the fun. Brian Pettitt Photographercaught up with them on the day...

They were joined by Kate Royse, the Nottinghamshire County Commissioner and her team, who were making an epic trip of over 120 miles to join in the eight different events being held byGuiding across the county.The girls, ranging from 5 – 18 years, arrived at 10am from Beeston, Attenborough,

Chilwell, Stapleford, Trowell, Bramcote, Wollaton, Bilborough and Toton. The ‘Funday’ offered sixtyexciting activities for the girls to try, from sumo wrestling to cheer leading, circus skills to meetingrescued owls, a smoothy bike to kick boxing and a safari hunt to a graffiti wall where the girls couldsay what they would do if they ruled the world!

The day was put together with the Olympic and Paralympic values in mind; respect andequality, excellence and determination, friendship and courage, and activities

were organised relating to these values and the continents.Some girls from 3rd Attenborough Guides were also reporters for the

day. Here are their reports:

“Brilliant, Fantastic. There are many other words I could use to describe the Diamond Jubilee Event. I loved the

smoothie making bicycle and the bouncy castles. A very memorable day” Eleanor, 11

Fiona, 11, interviewed the County Commissioner “I have had a go at the Gladiator Battle and it wasawesome. I’ve been impressed with all theevents but this one is massive and the only onethat has rescued birds. I would most like to trythe Demolition Ball and the hand painting.”

‘Events like this are only possible with lots ofsupport from adult volunteers and we’d love to

hear from anyone who would like to help uscreate more special memories for girls and young

women across the county.’

As a company we are committed tosaving energy andthe environment.With this in mind we have carefully

put together a numberof measures that will either produce electricity or save electricity.By changing your existing fluorescent fittings to LED, all with very littledisruption, you can enjoy high quality lighting without the fear of large bills. The voltage optimization works well domestically and commercially. When

using lighting and appliances ie: fridges, in the case of convenience shopsyou have a number of fridge units and lighting on between 12-16 hours perday. Small changes could potentially save hundreds of pounds per year.

SOLAR PVSolar pv or Photovoltaic panels produce electricity for your home or business.A typical 4 Kw system facing south will produce approximately 3,400 units orKwh of electricity per year with the feed in tariff and savings you will earn/save over £1,000 per year this is index linked and householders this is taxfree as well. Great investment .If we include the expected rise in electricityand the index rise this could make a return on investment of 28% annualisedover 25 years.

LED LIGHTINGLED lighting has taken the industry by storm if you were to change 1 LEDfluorescent fitting or tube the savings are around 70% If a small shop running10 light fittings with 4x2ʼ tubes in each we could save you over £250 per yearand with electricity prices rising this saving will keep rising and with an LEDfitting running 10 hours per day 365 days per year should last over 10 years.

ELECTRIC RADIATORSWe are Farho Electric Radiator approved installers. These radiators areenergy efficient with a saving of up to 30%. We can give a cost of running onan annual basis this is carried out with a heating survey all free of charge theyare a great replacement for storage heaters, and even better for conventionalelectric heating. All this and a 10 year guarantee on the appliance and noleaking as with traditional water filled piped heating system.

VOLTAGE OPTIMIZATIONThe incoming voltage into your property is around 240v but the equipmentworks at an optimal voltage of 220v so the over voltage dissipates as heat orvibration. A simple to install voltage optimization devise regulates the voltageto around 220 volts, reducing the electricity wasted. Savings of up to 17%and a payback of 2-3 years.

Our core business is trying to lower our customers energy bills at a time whenthe price of fuel is going up, all of these products are long lasting so a smallinvestment will reap rewards over the coming years.

WHAT WE COULD SAVE YOU EACH YEAR:• Solar PV: save over £1000 per year• LED Lighting: save over £250 per year• Electric Radiators: save up to 30% in heating• Voltage Optimization: save up to 17% in electricity useand improve the life of your household electrical items egtelevisions, audio, fridge etc

Let’s take a progress check on our ‘blooming lovely garden.

Lets take a look at our summer garden after our previous efforts to‘colour it up’. By now we should be well under way with our Annuals(bedding plants/hanging basket plants etc) and some of ourPerennials should be starting to bloom as well at this time of year -depending on which types you planted.The past month has been something of a roller-coaster ride with

intense heat for a few days followed by what seems like unremittingrain and temperature plunges that had us reaching for our wintercoats!

This makes life more challenging for our plants - especially the onesthat are more delicate in nature.

Extreme and unexpected weather is becoming the new ‘norm’according to the weather experts - and we ought to bear this in mindso that we can avoid disappointment.

We have mentioned sheltered areas in our previous articles and thisis important as wind really does change the outlook fort plant growth- and not for the better!

All plants really like to shelter (or thrive where shelter is possible)from cooler, blustery conditions met from the UK weather system.

If you are even slightly exposed to gusts of wind then it may beworth considering one of the following tactics:

• Wind toleranthedge or shrubs

• Double palingfencing (where thewind can partiallypass through)

• Tightly patternedtrellis

• Bamboo plants

• Arches - strategically placed to break any wind channels

Try to bear in mind that with man made structures it is essential notto completely block the wind but to slow it down. If you can then usemore than one method to layer the effect.

If you are able to landscape your soil to create raised areas then thiscan really help to bring relief to the areas below it - this takes moreeffort and also some planning as the shape of the landscape youcreate needs to assist guiding the airflow away successfully.Remember: a wind stopper works on both sides to calm the area and

give plants a better chance.

Back to getting a colour explosionBut hang on - Winter’s not here yet! We have our lovely ‘colour

garden’ to tend to!What about getting handy with the bulbs? Here’s a way to add

some extra delight to your patio as flowers come and go in theirsummer cycle:

Plant lily bulbs into terracotta pots and then arrange them whereyou feel the colour isn’t quite up to scratch - on the patio, alongborders, as collection of pots near where you sit in the garden -they are a great way to add a dimension of texture & colour to anypart of the garden.

Here’s how to get those bulbs glowing: use ordinary compost tohalf fill a pot then pop in about five lily bulbs.

Cover them with compost and keep them sheltered until theysprout up - in a greenhouse , a hut or even in your porch. Whenthey do grow you may need to support some of the taller varietieswith canes - all the better to withstand any sudden gusts!

To maintain them when grown just feed them once a week withliquid plant food - very easy to maintain!

You can help prolong flowering by simply removing the flowersas they fade - just trim the ‘dead heads’ back to just above thefoliage with garden cutters. Keep as much of the main stem &leaves as possible to help the bulb build up its food reserves fornext year’s even bloomier garden!

breezegardeningQUICK GUIDE TO BEDDING PLANTS

Seedlings: One seed each into a small pot(yoghurt pot), keep indoors until sprouted& harden off gently over a few weeks -plant out when a few inches tall.

Pots and tray, ready to plant: The easiestway if you don’t have space or time - comein trays or in tear-apart packs. Separateones in pots are easier to plant out as theroots aren’t entangled but they are a littlemore expensive.

Care: Water daily and feed once a week.Pull off any ‘dead heads’ once they startflowering.

Try these in your garden:

• Marigolds. Yes, a classic, and with goodreason - a lovely flower and great for kidsto plant as well.

Clematis. Flowers in late summer.

• Sun Flower (‘fun flower’!) Kids love theseso why not? Make sure you support with asimple garden can. Grows in pot or in theground (grow in a pot first before plantingin the ground though).

• Sweet Pea. A nice good coverage plant which delightswith a riot of bright and mixed colours(depending on which variety is chosen)

• Rosa Repeats flowering until late in theyear. Olive-green foliage, thrives on north-facing walls.

• Anthemis Masses of lax pale yellowdaisies with silver filigree foliage.

• Geraniums A wide sprawler with flowersfrom until late summer. Good mottledfoliage.

• Busy Lizzie. Easy and undemandingplant with real colour power!

• Petunia. Able to takethe British weather.

• Begonia. A sturdyplant with massesof compact colour.

All of these are good summer plants andwill help keep the colours swinging in yourgarden so come on - let’s keep it all perkyin our ‘little patch’ and have something tolook forward to as we journey onwardspast the height of summer.

Keep on learning and as always with yourgarden - enjoy!

SUMMER GARDEN TASKS:

WeedingWhen the weather changes from coldand wet to warm and sunny, a suddeninflux of weeds so get them removedquickly so that your flowers and plants cangrow unhindered.

Planting OutMake use of every available bit of space in your garden as now isthe time to begin sowing and planting in earnest. Pots, containers,window boxes and flower beds to increase your crop of plants andflowers during the summer. Don’t overcrowd though as they needgrowing room.

PondsNow is the time to check the health of your pond, ready for newwildlife. Frogs, newts and other amphibious creatures lay theireggs in spring and the insects that gather there also provide foodfor birds. They need suitable plant life in them in order to createoxygen. Dead plants should be removed to give new plants morelight.

PestsAs more and more plants and flowers begin to grow in yourgarden and in your home, the pests arrive! Checks for diseases andpests. Discolouration, wilting and brittle leaves are all be a warningthat your plant is ill. Tackle promptly before it spreads.

WateringWhen the sun is at its strongest, it is likely that any water sprayedon the leaves of your plant will cause it to burn so water plantsearly in the morning or late at night. It’s good therapy in theevening!

Our Feathered FriendsAre hungry at this time of year and will eat any fruit bearing cropsso if you want to keep them, get them covered! Netting for lowcrops and things that deter for higher crops such as fruiting trees -old cd’s hung on string help. Leave some for the birds though - orkeep the bird table stocked up!

New Beginnings is an art group for people whohave had to take early retirement due to disability orchronic ill health. Some of our members have serioushealth conditions, but we have found that art -especially when meeting together in a warm andwelcoming atmosphere – can help us on many levels:it reduces that sense of isolation; art skills are taughtby tutors and experienced members of the group;and the sense of achievement when learning newskills and creating a sketch or painting that isaccomplished is truly uplifting.

Last autumn, Keep Britain Tidy launched a brand new campaigncalled Love Where You Live. The national anti-littering initiativeaimed to encourage individuals, groups and organisations to make astand and improve their communities, villages, towns and cities.

Since the launch, thousands of people up and down the countryhave joined forces in the fight against litter by organising Big Tidy Upevents. It’s been a great success so far, but we need that fight to carryon - especially when the world will be watching England for theOlympics.TV presenter Kirstie Allsopp has lent her support to the campaign

saying: “I am immensely proud of my country but, like most people, I get a sinking feeling when I see the mounds of cigarette butts andpiles of empty food wrappers strewn along our roadsides, in ourparks and outside our homes.

“It costs £885 millionto clean up therubbish on our streets,a staggering amountat a time of cuts. That’sour money, whichcould be better spenton other things. It’ssuch a waste.”

She added: “KeepBritain Tidy’s LoveWhere You Livecampaign sums upperfectly how we canall make a difference,whether you are anindividual orcommunity group, alocal authority, smallbusiness or multi-national corporation. “Get together with

other people to get ridof the litter that’sclogging up yourstreet, your park oroutside your

workplace - neighbours, friends, colleagues – a small gesture canmake you feel like you live in a better environment.”

Litter is everyone’s responsibility and Love Where You Live showshow we can all make a difference. From the very small action of

people simply taking responsibility for their own litter andusing a bin, to communities coming together to clean uptheir neighbourhood, through to businesses,manufacturers and councils making it easy for people todo the right thing, every one of us can make a differenceto clean up our streets and restore pride to our localareas.

If you care about where you live and want to see itclean and litter-free then Love Where You Liveneeds your help. Visit www.lovewhereyoulive.organd pledge your support to the campaign. On the website you can join an existing event ororganise one in your area, nominate an area youfeel is in need of some TLC or simply let us knowabout your favourite place.

Together we can take action to reduce the amountof litter where we live, in the places we visit and thespaces that we use.
