Another Christmas fast approaching and the big switch-on of Bournes Christmas lights on November

28th nearly here. The programme of the days activities is included with this months issue of Discovering Bourne, and we hope that you will be able to enter the competitions, and enter into the true Christmas spirit. The talented singers, musicians and dancers who are performing will no doubt make it a memorable occasion for all concerned, and it is hoped that last years record turn-out will be exceeded this time around.

Our team of contributors continue to ensure that your favourite magazine is full of interesting features, advice and information to make your lead-up to Christmas as enjoyable as possible. Thanks to them all and, on behalf of us all on the magazine, let me wish you the very best for a merry and peaceful Christmas, with a healthy and successful 2016 to follow.

Just so that John doesnt get all the best lines, with his unusual sense of humour . What do you call a bunch of chess players bragging about their games in a hotel lobby?

Chess nuts boasting in an open foyer! Boom Boom! and a festive Ho,Ho,Ho to follow!

Welcome to our December edition...

Claire x

John

And so into the final month of the year and, as storms lash parts of Scotland, we can now feel

re-assured by the Met. Office that every big storm coming our way in future will be given a name. Handy I suppose, if you cant decide on a name for your new baby. Yes, were calling her Abigail because she leaves everything wet through and shes got terrible wind!

Amongst this months many and varied offerings, we feature the exciting changes occurring at Cherry Holt Garden Centre, the

opening of a new shop in Bourne, where The Three Counties Dog Rescue can continue their fantastic work, and a nostalgic glance back at the Christmas Fatstock Show. By heck, they knew how to enjoy themselves back then singing Who killed Cock Robin? after 110 bottles of Scotch probably one of the revellers, by breathing on the poor bird!

Quieter times these days, but nonetheless, plenty of Christmas and New Year fun to be had, and plenty of ideas in this months magazine to help it happen for you.

Enjoy the read!

Short and very sweet!Amongst the feedback which came our way last month was the following, from a local father:As a young family relatively new to Bourne (originally from Sleaford but have worked in London for 10 years) we find the magazine extremely useful for many purposes. We can find out whats happening in the local area, learn about activities etc. that we can partake in and, if we need a plumber, theyre re in there too! Keep up the good work. People like you and the magazine are what makes a community a community.

Regards, Matt Short.

Ed. Thanks Matt. I think the community spirit is already here, as the forthcoming Christmas activities in Bourne will confirm. At the magazine, we do our little bit to let people know whats occurring, but your taking the time out to express your gratitude, and particularly your willingness to become involved, is really what community spirit is all about.

Bournes Latest Gold Medallist- Claire SteelsBourne Town Harriers member and former Bourne Grammar School student, Claire Steels has achieved what must be one of the most extraordinary feats in any sporting field. Within barely ten months, Claire has not only mastered the requirements of the duathlon, (a 5km. run, a 20km. cycle ride, then a 2.5km. run), but has claimed a gold medal in her first international outing! At the World Championships in Adelaide, Australia, Claires performance, (tenth place in the ladies race overall), was good enough to strike gold in the 25-29 year-old age group. Huge congratulations go to Claire.

The Bourne Foodbank Whats That All About Then?Approaching the Christmas period every year, it becomes very noticeable that there are many people within the community for whom the giving of gifts to others is going to prove extremely difficult, if not impossible. They are struggling themselves to put food on to their table, never mind buying presents for others. A foodbank is a centre for giving emergency food to those in crisis in our community and the Bourne foodbank, located in the United Reform Church Hall on Spalding Road, does just that and more! The Bourne foodbank is part of a network founded by the Trussell Trust, a Christian Trust committed to self-sustaining community projects which tackle poverty and social exclusion in the UK, and is locally operated by the Churches Together in Bourne team.

Donations of non-perishable food are given by schools, churches, community groups and individuals, and volunteers sort and store the food. Frontline

care professionals give foodbank vouchers to people in crisis, which can then be exchanged for three days of food. Foodbank volunteers are also willing to take time to listen and redirect individuals to other agencies when needed.

If you are struggling, due to low income, sickness, unemployment, debt, benefit changes, etc. please obtain a food voucher from one of the following agencies : Citizens Advice Bureau, SKDC Customer Services, Bourne Childrens Centre, Health Visitors, Home Start, School Nurses, Salvation Army, Age UK and Toolbar.

The Bourne Foodbank, now into its third very successful year, is open on Tuesday afternoons (1pm-3 pm) and Friday morning, (9am-11 am).

Project Team Leader, Ann Parry-Jones, commented, We are a very friendly

group of volunteers who will offer you a cup of tea/coffee, biscuits and a chat if you feel like it, whilst we sort out the produce we can

give you.

Novelist set to put Bourne on the literary map with Sense and French AbilityBournes standing on the national literary map has received a boost recently, with romantic novelist, Ros Rendle, moving to reside in the town, along with her husband and their dogs. Having previously worked as a head teacher, Ros has been used to writing policy documents, essays and stories to which young children enjoyed listening. Now she is involved in the much greater challenge of writing fiction for adults. She writes both historical sagas and contemporary romance; perfect for lying by a warm summer pool or curling up on a cosy sofa. Ros is a member of the Romantic Novelists

Association, and still enjoys regular travel to France, having lived there permanently for the last ten years.

From Endeavour Press, the UKs leading independent publisher of digital books, Ross new book, Sense and French Ability is now available for download onto phone or tablet from www.amazon.co.uk.

Its a Dogs Life! New Charity Shop coming to BourneThe Three Counties Dog Rescue are pleased to announce the opening of their first shop, in Bourne. It has been less than a year since a fire at the kennels claimed the lives of three Staffordshire bull terriers, Teal, Dave and Daisy. Although this year has been challenging, the team were determined to move forward in memory of those who lost their lives. For Gyll Mauchline, who runs the charity, the shop will also present a great opportunity to raise much-needed funds, which can help to secure the longer term future of the charity, as Gyll explains. Being a local charity, we are hoping that the shop will become a hub of activity within the community. It will be a great place to hold our regular fund-raising events and, unlike many charities, 100% of all proceeds raised goes directly to the cause. As well as being able to drop off donations and bag yourself a bargain, it will be a place for volunteer recruitment, and to receive information and advice about the charity itself. People will be able to view images and have preliminary discussions about any dog or cat of interest that might become their companion. Being able to interact in this way, and see close-up the benefits of any donation, is what we feel makes our charity special and unique. We are always keen to hear from volunteers who might like to help in the shop, or to join our proactive fund-raising group to help us raise the money we need to carry on caring for, and re-homing, any animal that comes to us.

For more information on the opening of the shop, or on becoming a volunteer, please e-mail to [email protected], and keep in touch through the Three Counties Facebook page.For quality donations of Homeware ,Bric a Brac ,Books ,Clothes ,Shoes and Accessories, please call Janette on 07857911390

ABOUT THE THREE COUNTIES DOG RESCUE With over forty years dedicated to local animal welfare, Gyll Mauchline and her team of dedicated volunteers have successfully re-homed over six thousand animals. From their South Lincolnshire base, they work tirelessly in their mission to give unwanted cats and dogs a second chance at a new life. It is run entirely by voluntary and unpaid helpers, with every penny raised going directly into improving the lives of their cats and dogs. Gyll believes that, with your help, we really can make a difference. To find out more information about Three Counties and how you can help, please go to www.threecountiesgogrescue.org For all re-homing enquiries, please call Gyll on 07708589792 or 01778440318, (between 9am and 5pm - please leave a message and we will get back to you within forty-eight hours.)

Thank you...St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice would like to thank all the people, businesses and local groups such as Discovering Bourne who have helped and supported us throughout 2015. During the past year we have helped over 5,800 patients and their families living with a life limiting illness throughout Lincolnshire, and it is only with the generosity of people such as yourselves that we are able to do this. Many thanks to you all and best wishes for a happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.

CONCEPTChristmas Greetings from


| In the Hot Seat

Our lady in the Hot Seat in this month leading up to Christmas is, appropriately enough, someone whose services will be called upon more than ever right now. Many shoppers will be seeking those floral arrangements to beautify their homes during the festive season, alongside a wide range of Christmas gifts, decorations, wreaths and some charming wooden reindeer! Over two decades as a florist, and now into her eighteenth year as the owner of Bournes popular Stephanies in Crown Walk, Steph, (as shes affectionately known, by almost everyone in the town, it seems) here looks back fondly on a very full life. Extraordinary dedication and hard work, allied with an artistic flair for her floral creations, has ensured an enviable reputation throughout the town and numerous villages. However, she modestly attributes much to her team of delightful and very supportive ladies (and a couple of young men) behind the scenes in the shop. Steph and husband James are extremely proud of their children Ben (15) and Gracie (11), whilst Charlie, the Cockerpoo puppy, continues to provide the stress-busting relaxation needed when the shop closes for another day!

1) Where Were you born, and What is your favourite memory of your childhood?

I was born in Stamford Hospital, and lived on a farm in Dyke with my sister and two brothers. Ive got many fond memories of growing up in a fabulous village, being one of only ten children attending the village school, for instance, before it closed and I had to travel to Bourne Abbey Primary School. You knew everyone who lived in the village and we had so much freedom, playing near the Car Dyke.

2) Who has had the greatest influence on your life and Why?

Many people have influenced me in my life, especially my family, friends and work colleagues and suppliers. My dad has always been there for me, and husband James is always very supportive.

3) Which tWo characters, alive or not, Would you most enjoy sharing a meal With and Why?

Anton Du Beke and Gary Barlow. Dancing with one, while listening to the other singing who needs a meal?! Anton and I could also reminisce about the time we met!

4) hoW Would you describe yourself in only five Words?

Bubbly, creative, caring, hard-working, independent (although the word stubborn has been heard around the shop lately!)

5) if there Was one thing Which you could change about bourne, What Would it be and Why?

Id love the street market to come back to Bourne. I remember trying to rush back to school in my dinner hour, pushing past people in the street. The town was buzzing then. Oh yes, and the little cinema up the passageway on North Street, next to Smiths. Lets have that back.

6) What advice Would you give to a sixteen-year-old you?

Have more confidence in your own ability, and grab any opportunities that come your way. The world is your oyster!

Six months on from having featured Kirsty Woods and her ambitious plans for The Cutting Room in Bournes Crown Walk, it was a pleasure to see just how much progress has been made since mid-summer.

First up is the fact that now, Kirsty has herself a team of stylists. Tyler Williamson, (22) has returned to Bourne with her star brightly glowing, and with her Facebook crammed with recommendations and so much positive feedback. Kirsty is delighted that she can now use Tylers success with the Balayage technique, with its soft natural highlights, to offer her many clients an

even better service. She makes no apology for using Tylers popularity to target specifically the younger sections of the market. The other addition to the team in recent weeks has been seventeen year old Leona Bilby, who has just commenced a hairdressing course at Stamfords New College. As an apprentice, Leona will be covering all aspects of the industry, and early indications are very favourable indeed.

now a team effort to turn heads

2 Crown Walk West Street Bourne Lincolnshire PE10 9PB 01778 423463

The summer revamp of Kirstys salon has meant improved lighting and a new floor and display units, all of which enhances what the team can now offer. A new product range is also out there, with Illumina Colors from Wella proving to be an inspired choice.

Six months ago, Kirsty had just instigated the first Easi-locks hair-extension service for her clients, and was buzzing with excitement at the prospect. No other salon for miles around was, at the time, offering such a prestigious service, so it was no wonder that success was soon to be had, with some clients travelling as far as seventy miles to Bourne! Keeping those clients returning though, has been Kirstys next challenge, which, pleased to report, has been achieved. Kirsty continues her Facebook updates, showing her proud transformations of her clients, which serve to attract the public, both young and not-so-young alike.

Christmas is coming and the wallets looking fat. Well, as potential receivers of Christmas goodies, lets hope so. The lemming-like dash will be dragging us towards Bournes wonderful shops, or maybe Queensgate, very soon, or more likely, to the wonderful world of Amazon!

Before that, however, its worth remembering that, on the whole, we Brits are pretty spectacular at splashing out on ourselves, (if recent research is to be believed!). A survey by VoucherCodes.co.uk found that British people spend an average of 62 per week on treats for themselves, with the impulse to succumb to the temptation peaking around lunchtime on a Saturday. Purchases range from expensive designer clothes and shoes, through bottles of wine to bars of chocolate, with men spending a third more per month than women.

TreaTs for my sweeT

(or raTher one for you and Two for me!)

The research found that peoples fondness for treats increased as the week went on, spending the least on Monday, gradually increasing up to the Saturday peak. The most frivolous of people, splashing out on treats once the money goes into their account, are found

in Swansea, followed by the residents of Aberdeen and Belfast. The good folk of Wolverhampton, on the other hand, are the most cautious, with less than one in five splashing out on themselves on pay day.

This research would seem to show how closely

our mood and external lifestyle factors have such an impact on how we treat ourselves, as we head towards the week-end.

Words from the MayorLet me be the first to wish all the people of Bourne, not forgetting Dyke and Twenty, a joyful Christmas and a happy and peaceful 2016.

Lets remember though that there are some in our local community who find this time of the year a

very great challenge, especially the elderly and those with limited mobility, who feel a heightened degree of isolation and loneliness. Please give a thought for those of your neighbours in need, and make sure that they have the basics of warmth, food and company, as the weather becomes colder and the roads and pavements become icier.

Think about the Bill Withers song, Lean on me.

Lean on me when youre not strong

And Ill be your friend, Ill help you carry on

For it wont be longTil Im gonna need somebody to lean on.

Maybe when we are lonely and infirm, we might be glad of someone who gives us some loving care and attention.

The first of our Charity Pub Challenges, at The Masons went really well. My thanks to the Masons and all who attended, and we look forward to the next one in the Wishing Well in the New Year.

Special thanks to a stranger in The Masons who, when I was evicting him from the pool table, asked what my charities were and put his hand in his pocket to offer a generous and unsolicited donation. I dont know who you are but thanks.

whaT is a PodiaTrisT/ChiroPodisT?

A health professional who diagnoses and treats the huge variety of foot problems in both adults and children. Podiatrist & Chiropodist are the ONLY titles protected under British law. They are regulated by the Health Care Professions Council. Before having your feet treated, it is wise to check that your Podiatrist is genuine. After all, anyone can advertise and charge for treating your feet but would you let anyone loose on your teeth, back, eyes and health who was not a dentist, osteopath, optometrist or doctor? You can check the online register at http://www.hpc-uk.org/check/ or telephone them. They are there to make sure you are in safe hands.

ingrown Toenails

These occur when one or both sides of your nail grow into, and pierce the skin of, your toe.Cutting your

nails too short or wearing tight-fitting shoes is rarely the cause. More commonly as we age,

Here are some of the most common foot conditions treated in practice

the nail curvature increases and starts to dig in (involution). The foot shape, way you walk, length of your toes are all factors. Many Podiatrists can operate with local anaesthesia, to cure the problem.

Corns and Calluses

These are very commonly seen. They are caused by your own body weight placing localised pressure over small areas of your feet. They often accompany other underlying problems such as hallux valgus (bunions) or hammer toe deformity. A corn is a localized thickening of the skin due to pressure. Corns often occur on the top of the toes where there is pressure from the shoes. However, they also occur at the sole of the foot and in between toes. Certain corns may become entwined with the nerves of the skin, these corns are particularly painful.

Tinea Pedis or aThleTes fooT

This is a skin infection caused by a fungus. The fungus causing infection prefers moist, warm skin; this is why tinea pedis favours the folds between the toes and is often worse in hot weather. You can get a dry skin form that causes peeling . Your Podiatrist can identify and treat this.

fungal nails (onyChomyCosis)

Invasive fungal infections of the nail. The fungus that causes Athletes Foot can invade the toe nails. This is uncommon in the young and far more common as we age. White streaks in the nail can be the early presentation, then a thickening and brown tobacco streaked appearance. It can be treated but is often mis -diagnosed.

We work closely with many of the worlds best cruise lines to bring the best voyages to you.

adventures, exciting excursions in the incredible destinations youll be visiting, flight upgrades, transfers included, a cruise-stay-cruise package.Whatever it is you want from your holiday, let me create it all for you from start to finish.

My Top Tips For Cruising Not all ships are the same - different ones suit different people. Take advice from a specialist! Do your research and go with a cruise line that provides what youre looking for e.g. a cookery school, dance classes or themed cruises. Pick the right ship for you and your party with expert guidance. You need

to know what to expect, particularly if you havent cruised before. Take the correct clothing for the season. Freedom dining is a good option on some ships, as you dont feel tied to a time for eating. Many ports have local taxis that can be shared with other passengers and are great value. There is a ship for everyone, and compare the overall price dont be guided by the cheapest or advertised prices. When choosing a cabin, look to see what is around it, e.g. is the nightclub below you? A cabin near lifts/stairs may be convenient, but expect a high footfall past your door. I would love the opportunity to help plan your next cruise holiday, It can include as much or as little as you wish

and be as unique as you are.

An early Christmas present from all at Winkworth...


If you go down to the Cherry Holt Garden Centre, youre in for a big surprise! One new business has started up there; an established one is being invigorated; a popular car-wash has re-located on to the site; the caf at the front, with a new owner, has been re-furbished; whilst the construction and erection of sheds goes from strength to strength. Exciting times indeed, and owner Jackie Markley, along with sons, Chris and Kevin, is eager to see their ambition and imagination rewarded, once the people of Bourne and the surrounding area realise the scale of what is being attempted.

Enthusiasm could be Beverley Shillings middle name! This local lady is now the proprietor of Encore, which offers not only shabby-chic and personalised furniture, but also retro, vintage and pre-loved ladies clothing and accessories. Within the Garden Centre itself, Bevs studio is starting to bulge already with garments. Amongst the famous labels are David Emanuel and Frank Usher, alongside Oasis, Monsoon and other High Street favourites. Quality pre-loved gowns, jackets, coats, blouses, (for both evening or for work wear), shoes and

Cherry Holt Garden Centre - "It's All Happening !"

handbags are very sensibly priced. All sizes and ages of lady are catered for, from size eight up to thirty, from age eighteen to eighty! To complement the clothes, all of which are in very good condition, is a collection of jewellery, much of which confirms Bevs love for all things old and perhaps a little quirky.

This same desire to offer quality vintage items can be seen in the shabby-chic section, where Bevs passion and artistic talent sees her transform pieces of furniture into unique creations, as either her hand-painting or decoupage skills come into play. She can put her skills to work on any item which the customer might own and want to have transformed. Fantasy furniture for a childs bedroom is proving very popular already, be it Batman or Disney


characters, chosen to personalise a stool or perhaps a chest of drawers. The prices for Beverleys creations are particularly competitive. Around the studio are many paintings, both watercolours and acrylics, which are the work of Julie Lake and Elaine Hitchen. Add to this an attractive display of collectables, from glassware, vintage china, through to jugs and plates, and the overall impression is one of affordable quality. Opening times vary, please call the garden centre for details.

It was in 2009 when the Cherry Holt Garden Centre first appeared, run by Jackie and her husband, Ray. The site was formerly the Traditional Ironware foundry, which had closed down five years earlier. Remnants of the days of iron working remain, as you saunter around the grounds, with benches, models and artefacts which catch the eye. Following Rays death in 2011, sons Chris and Kevin turned their attention more towards the construction and erection of garden sheds, leaving the actual stocking of plants and shrubs a little in limbo. Now, with the able assistance of Denny, Jackie is able to plan for the future with confidence. There will be much on display in the weeks leading up to Christmas, and then 2016 will see large-scale re-stocking. The much sought-after Clover all-purpose compost, however, remains as big a seller as ever.

The shed and garden furniture arm of the Cherry Holt Garden Centre is thriving. Coupling a superb, quality product, manufactured to the customers requirements, with the efficient and careful erection and

after-sales service, there are many very satisfied customers in this part of the country. I count myself as one of them, with the recent acquisition of a mighty man-cave, which has kick-started our own re-designing of the garden project. The Cherry Holt Garden Centre offer an impressive range of hard landscaping products, from patios and driveways, raised beds and pergolas to bespoke gates and fencing. My eyes were drawn to the made-to-measure planters in pastel shades and also the unusual 3D planter range.

To add to this feeling of all-change, we see the recent arrival on to the spacious Garden Centre car park of the Eurowash. Seven years ago, behind the County Car Auctions site, a little further along Cherry Holt Road, this business was first launched. Now, the hard-working, cleaning crew have more space and can still offer very competitive prices and a smile, as they keep Bournes cars sparkling clean. Plans are underway to offer a scratch-card offer for 2016, (details to follow).

The Oasis caf fronts on to the roadside, but, as befits its name, it provides a calm, relaxing atmosphere as you sit with your traditional cooked breakfast, your mid-morning coffee or your lunchtime meal. A new coffee machine stands proudly offering a range of different types of coffee. Home cooking at its best, and a very competitive price, prove an attraction for many regulars. The recent re-furbishment, involving the walls being re-painted, has brightened up the place, to match the chirpy chatter of the ambitious owner as he shares with me his future plans.

shoplifters. dont let Them spoil your Christmas!Dear readers

Now that the busy Christmas period is fast approaching, please be aware that cases of pick pocketing always increase at this time of the year, so dont be a victim. Keep purses secure and carry wallets in an inside pocket. Zip up hand and shoulder bags. Carry bags in front of you with flaps against your body. Keep straps short and bags tucked under your arm. Dont show your money - keep it safely in your pocket and when using the ATM, always ensure that your money has been secured in your purse or wallet before turning away.

Here are several tactics that pickpockets use:

The Helpful Stranger: someone may approach you and say that you have something on your jacket or coat and will automatically rub it off, allowing them to get close to you

The Hugger mugger: a stranger may pretend to be sociable and friendly and will put their arms around you or link their arm through yours with a view to picking your pockets

The Easy Dip: pickpockets will be watching and if your bag or backpack is left open, they may follow you until they get the opportunity to dip in and remove easy items that are on show

The Distraction: typically using a map, a stranger may ask you for directions and whilst you are pointing out directions on the map, another person will carry out the pickpocket whilst you are distracted

The Stall: as a lot of pickpockets work in pairs, they will identify their victim and one person will deliberately stand in front you, at a counter, getting on a train or bus etc., and will stall for some reason - the other person is directly behind the victim allowing them to get up close to carry out the crime

The Concealed Hand: pickpockets often use items such as a newspaper to cover their hand whilst they carry out the crime

Remember to be extra vigilant in crowded shops and whilst in queues. Wishing you all a safe and Happy Christmas from Safe Local Trades.

The Countdown to Christmas! Seasonal advice from the decorating experts

December isnt just about Advent calendars, buying presents and sending cards.For many households, it is the last chance to prepare the house for the big day, which usually means a big clean, re-arrangement of furniture to accommodate the tree and then a trip into the loft to get all the decorations down, followed by a shopping trip to add to the collection! If, like many youve been leisurely decorating throughout the year, then December is the month when everyone frantically tries to finish off those last few jobs touching up the walls, putting up the pictures, finishing the tiling and, for some getting new carpets fitted! The television adverts are awash with feel-good family scenes in immaculate and beautifully decorated homes, with companies promising delivery before Christmas. All this adds to the pressure of finishing those last minute DIY jobs and decorating tasks as soon as December kicks in.

If you are hoping for some wise words me, telling you not to worry and not to get sucked into the chaos of it all, Im afraid I cant help you I too, am one of those people rushing around preparing for the big day. On the up-side at least, there are plenty of ways to make it easier on yourself; you can hire a cleaner, a decorator, an odd job man (check out The Directory at the back of the magazine) and even an interior designer.

But, for those of you without that luxury budget or, if you just prefer the personal touch, then try not to get stressed, enjoy it, make it fun and do it all with a glass of mulled wine or a mince pie in hand I find that makes most tasks enjoyable!

Heres some Christmas inspiration from your local home decorating centre - Stringers. The team there will be able to answer all your paint and wallpaper queries.

All items available from Stringers Home Decorating Centre, perhaps not the mulled wine and mince pies though !!!

Backing up your data is extremely important as a hardware crash of your disk drive can result in the loss of valuable images and documents. There are many backup solutions available but what some people do not realise is that Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 include a very good backup facility without the need to purchase additional software. This is called File History. Heres how to set this up for use:

In the search bar at the bottom your screen, type in File History.

Click on File History in the results.

After a short delay, whilst the tool searches for your disk drives, you will see something like this.

File backups are best done to an external disk drive rather than to the same system disk drive fitted inside your PC. This is because any disk crash could result in the loss of the main data and the backup if they are on the same device. By putting the data backup on a separate drive, this can be avoided.

Click on Advanced Settings on the left panel.

How to Use WinDoWS File HiStory to Backup Your User Data

Set the various options to match what you would like to do (the default options should be fine for most users).

Click Save.

The backup is automated and runs in the background without you having to do anything. Note too that this is a version controlled backup in that it will retain multiple versions of the same document. Handy if you want to restore a document that you update regularly to an earlier point in time.

Click on the turn on button to initiate the backup

Windows will now backup your user data on a schedule as defined in the settings (so in this example every hour).
