Delamere Grove
Delamere Grove, Eddisbury Hill, Delamere, Nr Northwich, Cheshire, CW8 2JJ
a better way of living
Set in the heart of rural Cheshire, Delamere Grove is a peaceful retirement park nestled on the side of a hill with magnificent views across the Cheshire plain. With only 23 Park Homes, for all year round living, this small park is ideally located within open countryside, yet close to everyday facilities. Delamere village boasts a village store, golf course, church, 2 country pubs and of course the famous Delamere Forest. Bus stops and a mainline train station provide fantastic transport links. The historic towns of Northwich and Frodsham are close by, as is the Roman walled city of Chester.

Weve also got news from Westminster Park Cricket Club, St Marys Church, pictures from Queens Park High School and news from Westminster Park.

However, we all need vitamin D for healthy, strong bones. Vitamin D is available in very few foods. Cod liver oil is by far the best source and also other fish livers. Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, tuna and sardines are excellent and luckily, since they are regarded as a healthy food once again and not a cholesterol buster, egg yolks are a fairly good source too.
BEAUTy therapists are renowned for advising clients to protect their skin from ultra violet exposure to prevent signs of premature ageing and skin cancer.

Skincare advice with Jane Bryant, from the Hough Green Clinic
Only a small area of the skin needs to be exposed for absorption. The reason beauty therapists and skin specialists want us to particularly protect our face, neck, dcolletage and hands from the sun is that these areas over a lifetime will have suffered the most sun exposure and the least likely to be protected by clothing. Unless, of course, you live in a nudist colony, you will notice the underside of your arms, the backs of your thighs and your bottom have very little or no signs of sun damage as they are rarely if ever exposed to the sun. I am not suggesting that you should now start to expose these areas, but maybe your arms or legs for ten or so minutes a couple of times of week could be beneficial. If you really want to keep totally out of the sun then look to taking Vitamin D supplements.
This months special offers at The Hough Green Clinic are products that will help repair any sun damage incurred over the summer months. (R) (R). PRIORI CoffeeBerry Brightening Facial Complex is excellent for reducing pigmentation damage. (R) PRIORI Cellular Recovery Serum with DNA Enzyme for sun damaged and pigmented skin and any skin that has been severely sun damaged. Vitage Vitamin C Serum is excellent for evening out pigmentation and repairing damage to collagen.

6. Diet Some foods have been shown to trigger arthritis but it seems to vary from individual to individual. So you really have to try leaving things out of your diet and seeing what effect it has. Foods that have been shown to affect some people adversely are wheat, caffeine, dairy and soya products. Green vegetables, nuts, fish and green tea may help reduce inflammation. Red berries, peppers and kiwi fruit contain chemicals that may help to reduce pain. 7. Supplementation There are many supplements on the market the may or may not help arthritis sufferers. Like diet, what helps one person may not help another so it is a matter of trying different supplements to see what works. Some of the most effective supplements for joint health include Fish oils (Or Flax oil for vegetarians) Glucosamine Chondroitin and MSM.

WESTMINSTER PARK
Westminster Park Residents Association subs to remain unchanged at 2
iN our June newsletter, and more recently in last months overleigh Roundabout, it was announced that subs for WPRA would be increased to 3 following a resolution passed at the AGM in March. This was to help subsidise our local PCSO in the Westminster Park area. We would like to stress that since publication of these two newsletters, this need has not arisen, and subs will NoT be increased. Subs will remain unchanged at 2. We feel that we must explain the situation that we found ourselves in as a Residents Association prior to the AGM in March. We were approached by the Police to see whether WPRA would contribute to our local PcSos salary. The idea that was put to us was that the Residents Associations should consider funding of up to 1000 with the remainder being raised from local businesses, whom the police would approach separately. The idea was put forward for discussion at the WPRA AGM and a resolution was proposed and seconded from the floor that we should raise approximately 350 by a nominal increase of 1 in the annual subs to pay our contribution, should the need arise. Fortunately this need has not arisen, and we are pleased to announce that the part payment of the PcSos salary has been dropped by the police as the danger of losing our local PcSo has not materialised. We would like to apologise for any confusion arising from these publications and hope that you will continue to support the WPRA by continuing to pay the annual subscription fee of 2. Julie Sams, Chairwoman of Westminster Park Residents Association (WPRA) www.wp-ra.org.uk Raising the standard Westminster Park has been given the Green Flag Award which recognises cleanliness in public spaces. The Green Flag Award scheme is organised by the Keep Britain Tidy consortium and is the benchmark national standard for parks and green spaces in England and Wales. This is the second time the park has obtained this award following its improvement scheme in 2009/10. Further improvements have seen the provision of a new pavilion for sports clubs completed earlier this year. Facilities on site include tennis club, play area, youth facilities, caf, BMX track, sports pitches, bowling greens, a croquet lawn, car parking, caf and golf course. The park also has an active friends of group who welcome new members.

be pruned in spring by cutting the previous years growth back hard to about 2 to 3 buds as they flower on growth made in the same year. The ever faithful Japanese Anemone will flower for weeks and this year has started flowering almost a month earlier than usual. They take time to establish but will cover the ground and smother most weeds. Helianthus Lemon Queen is another favourite with lots of pale yellow daisy like flowers on stems up to 1.5m tall if grown in moisture retentive soil. One shrub that is at its best in September is Hibiscus syriacus or tree hollyhock. Slow to start off, these shrubs like a sunny position and will have hollyhock like flowers in white, pink or blue. Try Hibiscus Blue Bird or Woodbridge for a late show of flowers for weeks. If you have a pond, then cover it with netting to prevent leaves falling into the water and rotting. Lawns can be re-turfed or sow grass seed when the weather is wet. Also rake out dead grass and moss from the lawn in September.

Over 500 ex-students and teachers attended school reunions at Queens Park High School during July. one of the oldest participants Mrs J cook (pictured) who attended the school in the 1930s related fascinating stories to present day students who are writing a 100th birthday edition of the school magazine The inkwell. Barbara Thomas wrote to the school after the event commenting on the warm friendly atmosphere in the school and the clever design of the school building. David Griffiths who retired from the school some time ago commented: The evening gave me the opportunity to meet once again many students from the seventies and eighties and to discover where their many and varied paths had taken them. It also reaffirmed for me the importance of the role of the teacher in society. The 100th Birthday event in September will provide an opportunity to celebrate the fantastic year the school has had, a very complementary ofSTED inspection in May and the expected high achievement in this years GCSE and A Level results.
