And welcome to the July issue of Three Villages
Full speed ahead with Summer!! July is a fun but quieter month. Exams are over (or almost!) and schools
are winding down to the summer siesta. Sports days, school trips and general fun are the order of the day
for our children! Enter one of our competitions this month and the fun could continue, with trips to the
theatre and tickets to The Lookout Discovery Centre up for grabs!
A warm thank you to all of the businesses who are advertising with us and we wish you success from our
directory, whose sole purpose is to bring information to the fingertips of the residents. We have a special
competition for business owners too this month… just take a look at page 50!
We welcome feedback, as always, to help us shape this directory to suit your needs. Please send ideas or
feedback to:
telephone: 01276 504582 mobile: 07947 068211
email: info@tulippublications.co.uk web: www.tulippublications.co.uk
And finally here is a fun fact about July - to our
children’s delight it is apparently national
blueberry month, national ice cream month
and national hot dog month!
Until next time, best wishes

Citizen’s Advice Bureau Beware of “Free” Pension Reviews
Be wary if you're contacted out of the blue by phone,
email, text or via an online advert about geLng a 'free
pension review' to 'get be5er returns'. Most of the
companies making these offers haven't been author-
ised by the Financial Conduct Authority, even though
they say they are acng on their behalf. Or companies
may say they're represenng government about free
rerement guidance - an iniave that's not been
launched yet.
What should you do?
If you are contacted by one of these companies, ignore
them. Professional advice on pensions isn't free and
financial advisers authorised by the Financial Conduct
Authority are unlikely to cold call.
These reviews are aimed at geLng you to move money
from an exisng personal or occupaonal pension into
other schemes called self-invested personal pensions
(SIPP) or small self-administered schemes (SSAS). The
pension pot is then typically invested in unregulated
investments like overseas property developments,
forestry or storage units known as store pods. These
are higher risk and you could lose everything you've
invested, reducing your rerement income.
If you invest your pension in one of these schemes you
won't be able to complain to the Financial Ombudsman
Service or get compensaon from the Financial Services
Compensaon Scheme if things go wrong. You are un-
likely to be able to get your money back if you've dealt
with an adviser who isn't authorised by the Financial
Conduct Authority.
Ge,ng financial advice about your pension
If you want to review your pension arrangements, you
should get independent advice from an authorised
financial adviser. Always check that anyone offering
advice or financial services is authorised by the Finan-
cial Conduct Authority. You can search the Financial
Conduct Authority register for authorised advisers at
www.fca.org.uk
If you have already moved your pension and have con-
cerns, contact any authorised companies that were
involved. The Ombudsman might be able to help if you
cannot get the ma5er resolved with those companies.
You can contact the Financial Ombudsman Service for
concerns about authorised companies at www.financial
-ombudsman.org.uk
More informa�on
There are massive changes currently under way in
state, workplace and private pensions. One of the big-
gest is that the Government is making it easier for peo-
ple over 55 to withdraw cash from their pension pot –
although tax will need to be paid in many circumstanc-
es. You should also bear in mind that if you are in a final
salary company pension scheme, then you are unlikely
to get be5er returns elsewhere.
Make sure you understand how investments work, the
risks involved and what they mean for you. Your adviser
should consider whether they are suitable for you. For
most individual investors, invesng your pension mon-
ey in unregulated investments is unlikely to be in your
best interests. Consider all investment opons - leaving
your pension pot where it is may be the best decision.
General guidance about pensions and rerement is
available free from the Money Advice Service web site
and online chat service at
www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk or phone 0300 500
3000 (8-8 Mon-Fri, 9-1 Sat). More specific free guidance
on pensions and the changes being made is available
from the Pensions Advisory Service at
www.pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk or phone 0845
601 2923 (9-5 Mon-Fri).

In The Garden
All the herbaceous plants should be bursting with
colour and the borders growing along nicely, and the
bedding plants in your pots and baskets will be
getting better week by week.
Your grass should also be growing on strongly by
now and a few little tips to keep the grass greener
for longer. I personally always cut the grass a little
higher as we head towards the height of summer
you will be surprised how much a couple of extra
centimetres can keep the grass that bit greener and
healthy. Although you may need to cut it a bit more
often the extra leaf on the grass will help it absorb
more moisture when it rains or in the morning dew, a
good summer feed will also do the power of good
greening it up and building the root structure. Many
also like to give the grass a good go with a sprinkler
(as long as the hosepipe bans are not in force)
which all good but when doing it always water when
the heat of the day has gone and the sun going
down, I often see people watering at all times of the
day and this is often a waste of time and water.
In the borders your shrubs should be putting on
growth for next year’s flowers so only cut back now if
dead/diseased are present or for practical reasons
i.e. overhanging etc.
Down The Veg Plot
On the veg plot everything should be full of life and
you should have eaten plenty of your produce by
now whether it be some tasty New Potatoes or some
Lettuce with some Radishes, you may well have
also had some early Carrots or Peas. Depending on
if you had some way of getting an early start via a
heated greenhouse or other method you could be
munching away on a whole variety of veg by now,
but remember on things like Lettuce, Radishes and
Carrots to keep up with you repeat sowings every
two weeks or so to keep a fresh supply coming. I
had my first Strawberry from my plot the other day
and very nice it was too!
The wildlife in the garden will also be in full flow now
so make sure those bird baths are full and the feed-
er stocked up. It also means that some of the more
troublesome parts of nature i.e. pests will be munch-
ing on your plants, veg and fruit or digging up your
prize plants. There are countless different ways of
dealing with these problems that would take up
countless pages but my only tip would be on these
matters is prevention is better than any type of
spraying etc. Admittedly sometimes you can’t stop
some attacks to your garden but generally speaking
the sooner you react the less damage is done, and
there are many effective non pesticide remedies to
most problems i.e. slug pellets can be effective but
wandering round your pots of an evening picking the
slugs and snails off your plants is just as effective,
cheaper and far better for the other creatures in your
garden and the environment.
That’s all for this edition but remember enjoy your
garden!

As we head into the summer months its anyone’s guess as to what the
weather has in store for us we have had a nice bit of sun in early June alt-
hough the rain was never far away! With the changing climate we are all
going to have to change our ways to accommodate the wider variations
that seem to happen, even the seasons can’t be relied on any more. The
problems we have at this point will have started when the Victorians start-
ed burning fossil fuels and the Industrial Revelation was born! The prob-
lems are accumulative so things will probably get worse before they get
better but nature adapts and we must do the same to.
