Cloudy2Clear Windows

Service With A Smile!Its been a crazyfew months forCloudy2ClearWindows. Thecompany whichspecialises in repairingwindows which aresteamed up, brokenor damaged byreplacing the panes

not the frames hasgrown rapidly as

homeowners takeadvantage of theirservices.

Managing DirectorAlan Ball feels that itsall about service. Ourproduct is simple. Ifyour double glazingis misted up we canreplace the glass ata fraction of the costof a new window, inany type of frame,and with a new 5 year

guarantee. But its notjust about saving people

money, although thatobviously helps. Manytradespeople havestruggled since last yearand I honestly feel thatduring the good times aminority perhaps didntfocus on customercare as much as theyshould have done. Wemake sure we turn upwhen we say we will,

do the job the customerrequires and leavetheir house as clean asa whistle. I often getcomments back fromcustomers on how theyreally didnt expect thatsort of service which,in a way, is very sad forthe service industry as awhole.

Cloudy2Clear servicethe Chester, Wirral &North Wales areas and

Alan is fnding that hisapproach is a major is

a major factor in hissuccess. The truth isthat its not just the

personal satisfactionthat I get from doinga good job but also itmakes good businesssense.I get a huge amount ofbusiness from friendsand family of people

Ive done work for,which just goes to showhow much a little bit ofeffort is appreciated.

So, if your windowsare steamed up, brokenor damaged give Alan acall for a free quotationon 0800 61 21 118 andhell be happy to help!

Spring into actionGardeninG by Janet HeatH

MarCh is wen bulbs suc s te joyfulyellow dffodils mke tei ppence.Smaller fowers are also worth growingsuc s anemone blnd wic you willsee in woodlnd.The wild owers are white but there are also

blue and pink varieties. Another lovely littleowering bulb is Chionodoxa which has blueor pink owers and well worth growing in pots

or in the ground interspersed withsmaller daffodils. You will need

well drained soil in a sunnyposition for best results.

Shrubs start oweringwith Forsythia andthe owering currant,Ribes sanguineum.

Another earlyowering shrub is

the owering quince,Chaenomoles. Thesespiny shrubs do wellin mixed hedging ortrained against the wallof a house. Flowers comein many colours such as brightred, pink or cream and will

brighten up any garden inspring.

Jobs to do in thegarden include takingthe shears to winterowering heathers

just after owering.Give them a trim toremove dead owersand encourage newfoliage. I also cut off thedead heads from Hydrangeasmaking sure that I only cut off

the dead ower head and leave the

new buds below as they will give you owersthe coming year.

Start planting hardy vegetable seeds such asbroad beans, carrots, spinach and some saladslike rocket and hardy lettuce. If its wet and cold

just wait a couple of weeks for the soil to warmup. Indoors or in a greenhouse it is time to sow

brassicas such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts andalso leeks in pots ready to transplant later.

I prepare my pots for summerin March. I have a selection

of Hostas growing in potsand each year I remove

the larger plants fromthe pot and cut it upinto pieces with aspade then replantinto new compost.This keeps the

plants healthy andleaves me with spare

plants to give tofriends or clients. Any

other perennial plants inpots get a boost by either

being re-potted into a slightlylarger pot or I remove the

top few centimetresof soil and replacewith John Innes No

3 compost. Givethem all a feed

with a slow releasefertilizer. Thisgoes for the rest

of the garden too. Iuse pelleted chicken

manure and give allplants in the garden a

feed in March.

South Wirral Cats Protection have a number of cats who desperately need a home

Can you give a cat a home?

MR TIBBINS

Tabby and white

Mr Tibbins hadbeen living in a

porch being fed

the owners of the

house but they

could not oer him

a home as they had

a dog that doesnt

like cats. He is a

friendly boy. We

guess he is aboutnine years old.

TOBY

Toby needs a

new home be-cause his owner

is moving and

she cannot take

him athere is a

resident dog, and Toby does not like dogs

Toby is an aectionate cat with amusing char-

acteristics, e.g. fascination for all sorts of water.

He loves being stroked on the head. He is used

to going outside but likes to be cosy inside in

cooler weather. He needs a home with a gardento patrol. Ref: H12-67

HugHIe & MINNIe

Hughie is very good with adults and children. He is an

aectionate cat and enjoys company. He is eight years

old and neutered. Minnie is a cat that keeps herself to

herself, but is used to having children around, but just

tends to do her own thing. She is four years old and

neutered. Their owner is moving in with her partnerwho is allergic to cat fur. They are indoor cats that have

never been outside. They can be homed as indoor cats,

or to a home with a safe private garden where they

can venture outside if they want, initially under supervision. Their owner would prefer

them to stay together but would be happy if they were to go separately. H13-01
