Hello, and
welcome to the
April edition of
‘The Hampton Viewer’
The flowers are finally coming to bloom, the days are getting longer and the temperature is beginning to thaw. So
with a new found spring in our step, we’ve got plenty to get you set for the exciting season ahead and the Easter weekend just round the corner. But this doesn’t have to be all about chocolates, there’s plenty of other things to do. See pages 36 and 37 for some fun ideas of activities and outings to share with your family.
Also, the “Villages of Rockingham Forest Bike Ride” is back this year in aid of The British Heart Foundation. So if you do want to raise money for charity and want to enjoy a 25 or 50 mile bike ride at the same time, please see page 12 for the details. Sticking to good causes, Sue Ryder is encouraging people to organise a fundraising event perhaps with a 1950s
theme or involving the number 60 to celebrate 60 years of care around the world. See details on page 6.
Also, make sure you’re not caught out on April Fools Day! The BBC have played some memorable pranks over the years, one has to be the 1957 Panorama report on the bumper spaghetti crop (well before my time - but have been told!).
Huge numbers of viewers were fooled by the footage of Swiss pheasants gathering long strands of pasta from the trees! And more recently in 2002, Tesco published an advert publicising the genetically modified vegetable. The advert said it had air holes in the side and that it whistled when it was fully cooked! So Watch Out!!!
Wishing you all a wonderful April!

Sixty great reasons for Tea
Sue Ryder - Thorpe Hall Hospice
T housands of people in Peterborough
and its surrounding counties have
benefited from the lifetime’s work of
an inspirational woman.
And this year, the charity that she set up
will call on the local community to help
celebrate sixty years of care around the
world.
Sue Ryder set up her charity in 1953 after
witnessing the atrocities of the Second
World War as a member of the Special
Operations Executive & locally, Thorpe Hall
Hospice in Longthorpe, Peterborough was
opened in 1991.
For its diamond celebrations, Sue Ryder is
encouraging people to organise a fund-
raising event perhaps with a 1950s theme
or involving the number 60. The charity is
planning vintage tea parties and hopes
that supporters will organise their own.
Sue Ryder fundraiser at Thorpe Hall Jackie
Page said: “We've put together a party kit,
complete with bunting and invitations.
There's also our tea party guide and
recipes, so if that sounds like fun, you can
start planning your party now.
“Whether at work, home or in the commu-
nity, we are asking people to help us
celebrate our 60 years of incredible care
with friends and family by having fun and
raising money for a great cause. Could
you raise £600 in 60 days or sell 60
cupcakes in 60 minutes? The possibilities
are endless.”
Sue Ryder started her first home at the age
of 29 in her mother’s house in Suffolk to
help disabled people and refugees,
particularly from Poland.
Jackie Page said: “Sue Ryder, who later
became Baroness Ryder of Warsaw, died
in 2000 but her legacy is the wonderful
work that continues to help people around
the world.
“Locally, Thorpe Hall hospice has delivered
incredible specialist care and emotional
support to people with incurable illness
serving the community in five counties
within a 35 mile radius.”
To find out more about Sue Ryder's 60th
celebrations or to discuss your own 60th
anniversary fundraising ideas, get in

In The Night Sky #25
A s I write this we’ve had a
disappointing few weeks of sky
watching because of the weather.
We’ve missed comet PANSTARRS on its
approach to the Sun, hopefully we should
get a decent view as the month progresses,
but just in case log on to NASA and have a
look at their images - not quite the same I
know, but at least you’ll get to see some
images of the comet.
As for April there is an event that we should
be able to see unless it’s very, very cloudy -
there’s a partial Lunar eclipse, albeit a very
minor one so you will have to look carefully.
A Lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth’s
shadow obscures the Sun’s light. The
picture below is of the total lunar eclipse on
December 20th, 2010 as viewed from
Hampton.
The orange glow is produced because
some of the Sun’s light is bent towards the
moon by the Earth’s atmosphere. Other
colours are either absorbed or bent away
from the Moon, in effect it’s as though all
the sunrises and sunsets are refracted onto
the Moon and reflected back to us.
The occurance of a total lunar eclipse is
dependant upon a happy coincidence
that the distance from the Earth to the
Moon is exactly right, but the Moon is
moving away from the Earth at about 4cm
a year so in a few billion years total eclipses
won’t happen - so take advantage of them
whilst you can!
For this one, however, only about 2 percent
of the Moon will be within the dark shadow
(known as the umbral shadow).
April will also bring spring skies to the Northern
hemisphere so although we’ll lose Perseus,
Orion and Andromeda from our night
viewing we will now be able to enjoy
Hercules, Cygnus & Lyra in the evening sky.
Happy Night Watching!

The Whinge
The Magic Roundabout
L ast month I told you about my lack of
Internet connection and the effect
on my digital life. Well this month I
am at last connected and re-digitized,
much to the relief of my family but to the
dismay of all the local coffee shops!
So you might be forgiven for thinking that I
couldn't possible still be moaning about
my ISP. Unfortunately, the saga continues.
I had to wait a while after I was finally
connected before I could make a final
complaint and claim for a refund for the
period when I had no service. Mainly
because I had so much catching up to
do, but also to let some of the caffeine
leach from my system. Otherwise I would
have been speaking at a rate that no
ordinary mortal could understand let
alone a service desk operative.
Now as it happens I clearly didn't leave it
long enough. My first problem was that
what I wanted to do - complain - wasn't
an option I was presented with by the
automatic answering system. I doubted
that this was because this was an option
very few people wanted so there must be
a perfectly logical explanation for this.
Maybe there was a specific number, so I
checked. But no I had the correct
number so I persevered. I later found out
that "we don't have any specific
complaints department, so we don't
provide that as an option".
Eventually, I got to speak to a human.
The wrong one apparently, so I was
transferred. To another wrong person,
who transferred me again. This time I,
allegedly got through to a person who
should be able to help me!
However, I found out that I was not
entitled to any refund for the service I
hadn't received because I didn't have a
complaint registered against my account.
I had made a total of four complaints,
one of which I escalated two levels of
management. But it didn't show on my
account.
So now I had to phone back to try and
make a complaint about the fact that my
previous complaints had not been
registered and that the "not the
complaints" department were unable to
refund me for a service they hadn't
provided me with but had charged me
for. Read that bit again, I promise it will
make sense eventually.
After I phoned back and was transferred
a number of times again I finally got
through to someone who did help me.
She explained that she just worked in wi-fi
support and only really dealt with
technical issues, but I think she actually
felt sorry for me: either that or she sensed
the steam escaping from my head. She
said "I don't know what they're on about I
can clearly see the complaints on your
account". She spoke to someone and all
of a sudden I had the refund I wanted.
What a drama!
Next time I need help with my broadband
I think I'll phone the gas board because
obviously I'll get a faster response.

LAWN CARE FOR April 2013
See Special Offer below
Mowing Mow at least once a week now; make sure mower has been serviced and
blade replaced or sharpened.
Fertiliser
This is the time to feed and weed (preferably in that order). The fertiliser is
predominately Nitrogen in a slow release form, but it may also need Phosphate &
Potassium as well as vital trace elements to promote a vibrant green lawn.
Weed Control Once the weeds and grass are actively
growing a selective herbicide to kill broad leaved weeds such as dandelions,
daisies and clover within the grass can be applied.
Patio/Driveway Weed Control Weeds can look unsightly at this time of
year in patios and driveways. We can spray a total weed killer to kill them and
keep weed free for up to 6 months.
Actions required in April: • Mow lawn at least once per week. • Apply spring fertiliser to produce vibrant
green lawn. • Spray weeds in lawn with selective
Herbicide • Spray Drive/Path/Patios with Total
Herbicide to keep weed Free for Summer.

Driveway and Patio Cleaning and Sealing
N ow that winter is finally over and
Spring is rapidly approaching, it is
time to look at maintaining your
driveway and patio and preparing it for the
summer.
Blackjack Surface Technology Ltd. offer a
cleaning and sealing service for all hard
paving types whether it is Block Paving,
Patterned Concrete, Tarmac or Natural
Stone.
Block Paving can be washed to remove
algae and weeds and restore its original
colour. The jointing sand removed when
washing should then be replaced to ensure
that the blocks bind together and do not
move. An optional sealer can be applied to
further enhance the colour of the blocks
and solidify the jointing sand making it far
less likely that weeds will grow or ants will
colonise your paving.
Tarmac can be washed to remove moss and
dirt and the seal coated to restore its colour
and protect from the effects of harmful UV
rays and weathering. This should be done
every 2 or 3 years from new to greatly
increase the life of your driveway.
Patterned concrete should be washed and
re-sealed every 2 years. This will bring your
paving back to life and restore the origi-
nal colour, protect from staining and pro-
tect from the effects of weather.
As well as offering a complete
cleaning and sealing service,
Blackjack also sell a range of
professional sealers and cleaning
products for all paving types on
their website at
www.blackjacksurfacetechnology.com

For April 2013 - By Astrologer Christine Chalklin
ARIES MARCH 21 - APRIL 20 Hot, hot, hot - with so many planets in
your sign this is a month full of explosive
energy. You might not be in agreement
with people who have different views, or
try to restrict you in any way. Great revelations are
possible, best to wait until end of the month to make
big decisions, as rash moves don’t always pay off!
TAURUS APRIL 21 - MAY 21 Taurus has lots to think about this month,
so many planets in a deeply introspective
sector of your chart can only mean one
thing – step back and take time out!
Reflection is the key word and many things will need
addressing. Clarity should return round the 20th
, as
planetary energy concentrates in your sign.
GEMINI MAY 22 - JUNE 21 Mighty Jupiter in your sign urges you to
communicate in an entirely new way. So
many planets in fiery Aries mean that
new friends and new adventures are
definitely on the horizon. The New moon on the
10th
brings your attention to an exciting new project
or goal, possibly with caring and charitable concerns.
CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22 This is the month of achievement for
Cancerians – in your private life or in your
career, four planets occupy the most
pivotal point of your chart and whatever
you feel right now, exciting times are coming your
way! Define your strategy for the rest of the year,
the powerful new moon on the 10th
is very auspicious.
LEO JULY 23 - AUGUST 23 Travel, adventure and further education
are all in the spotlight for Leos this month.
Your ruler, the powerful Sun, illuminates
an action packed area of your chart – the
sky’s the limit, so go for gold! The new moon on the
10th
is particularly powerful, Communicative Mer-
cury gives you more strength after the 14th.
VIRGO AUG. 24 - SEPT. 22 Financial dealings, legacies & resources
are all in the spotlight this month. A
complete overhaul may well be necessary
now. Let your creativity flow and use
your imagination for new projects. Try not to take
any major risks, particularly financial ones, until the
heavens calm down after the 20th
.
LIBRA SEPT. 23 - OCT. 23 Relationships are in the spotlight this
month. With so many planets in fiery
Aries all partnership concerns & issues will
be brought to the surface, whether you
like it or not! A relationship may end, may change,
or an exciting one may begin. Embrace the change
& liberation that this extraordinary time brings.
SCORPIO OCT. 24 - NOV. 22 Your work, your career and your
ultimate future are highlighted this
month. Stern Saturn in Scorpio ensures
that you build solid foundations for
lasting change. Benevolent Jupiter helps existing
plans and goals to expand, as you’ll be in the right
place at the right time, for maximum benefit.
SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21 A month of heightened creativity and
hot passionate love is on the horizon for
Sagittarius! We start the month with
the moon in your sign and as this cycle
builds to the new moon on the 10th
you should be
feeling at your all time best. The only down side is
that you take on too much – take it easy and enjoy!
CAPRICORN DEC. 22 - JAN. 20 Pluto, master of transformation, is
progressing steadily through your sign
& your need for change & re-evaluation
will also be gathering momentum. So
many planets in fiery Aries cause you to question
some domestic arrangements. The new moon in
Aries on the 10th
increases confidence – no more
holding back!
AQUARIUS JAN. 21 - FEB. 18 Your ruler, the ever unpredictable
Uranus is joined by three other planets
in fiery Aries. Expansive Jupiter in
Gemini brings optimism and joy into
your life, particularly from people around you.
Communication, speaking and writing should be a
source of great pleasure now and socialising will
also be high on the agenda.
PISCES FEB. 19 – MARCH 20 Attention turns to goals, achievement
& your self-worth during April. Finances
are also highlighted & rearranging some
monetary matters may also be on the
agenda. On the 10th
the new moon energy starts a
new cycle of opportunity and growth, coupled with
energetic Mars your confidence should be high.
