INTRODUCTION | EDITORS PAGE
Welcome to the NEW LOOK
3Penarth View
“I have had the pleasure of
working with Nigel Dudley to
compose this latest issue with
a fresh new style and growing
local editorial content.
For the coming issues Nigel has passed
me the task of becoming the local editor
which I am very much looking forward to
doing, especially as the local community
and businesses that I work with are literally
on my doorstep!
Having grown up in Penarth as a Stanwell
School Boy, I’ve travelled, studied and
worked away from home for a good
number of years before deciding that this is
the place I want to base my business and
bring up a young family! In fact it’s probably
all the things my parents appreciated when
I was growing up that I’ve come to value in
the town myself. Penarth is not quite the
same place though, and only because it
has grown so much, and so well. I fi nd that
there are so many great and varied local
businesses that I rarely need to leave the
town for anything, only last week I got my
car serviced at Victoria Garage round the
corner from my house and renewed my
insurance with Motts – it was no hassle and
the local sta� are always really helpful!
Penarth View has a fantastic following
and I hope you will enjoy the magazine
as it progresses issue by issue with more
topical local content, news and images
from around the town. Remember to shop
local and support the businesses on your
doorstep that are ready to help with a
friendly smile.....”
Jim Brooks-Dowsett
“This new look Penarth View has
come about due to a number of
factors.
Since establishing the magazine with
the fi rst issue in November 2010, these
last 10 months have been challenging,
as my involvement and workload with an
educational consultancy has increased and
as a family we have been dealing with a
terminal illness.
With this in mind I’ve welcomed Jim on
board to the Penarth View. A local Penarth
boy, and business owner of Puravida
Boardriders, o� ered to take on being
the editor of the magazine for the next
12 months. He has already put in place
many new and exciting additions, which
will continue to develop this well liked and
respected magazine.
The businesses will see a much more
comprehensive view of their o� ering,
especially with their new columns, and the
residents and visitors will see a product that
is truly refl ective of the Penarth community.
I would like to thank the businesses and
residents of Penarth for their support in
establishing the Penarth View to what it is
today, and on a more personal note, the
care and support to us as a family from the
well wishers of the Penarth community. It is
greatly received and appreciated. Finally, I
wish Jim well in continuing with the success
of the Penarth View”

HEALTH & BEAUTY | YOGA ONE
For many of us sitting up straight at the o� ce or study desk for hours on end seems
hard work and we opt for the slumped, rounded back position. Over time a bad posture
can bring back and neck aches, a lack of energy and even sometimes a lack of confi dence
making you feel older and more tired than you should.
Iyengar Yoga teaches us how to sit up straight & stand evenly on two feet, how to align the
pelvis & chest, which brings length and space to the spine. This generates more energy,
less aches & pains & an improved outlook in daily life.
If you would like to improve your posture, general health, fi tness and wellbeing, attending
a regular Iyengar yoga class is a good place
to start with certifi ed Iyengar Yoga teachers,
Thomas & Belinda Franklin. Their fully
equipped yoga studio on Herbert Terrace,
runs eleven weekly classes, with separate
classes for Beginners & General Level
experience.
Please don’t hesitate to ask us if you have
any questions, we are happy to help.
See the Class Timetable on our website.

Neals Yard at Anne Beauty
I am a Holistic & Beauty Therapist, working
and living in the beautiful town of Penarth,
I am truly passionate about keeping the
town busy and bustling, always using local
businesses as my fi rst choice.
Having worked in the Beauty and Spa
industry for over 20 years, seeing trends
come and go, I fi nd a healthy organic
lifestyle has become my mantra. That's why
I have chosen Neals Yard Organic Skincare
for my family at home and in my Holistic
and Beauty Treatments at work. I believe
we should know what's in our food and our
cosmetics, it's easy with Neals Yard it's all
on the label. A safe ethical, organic brand,
it's my way to a greener life. It really is that
simple, and as a stockist now in Penarth,
there has never been a better time for you
to change.
Stretch out the Stress
Did you know that yoga helps to minimise
the e� ects of stress when practised on
a regular basis? Once a week has been
enough for many of our students to feel
a marked di� erence, as yoga helps to
strengthen the nervous system which is
directly depleted by all forms of stress.
As the nervous system strengthens through
the practise of yoga postures, energy
levels & positive attitudes return, bringing
vitality and a calm, clear disposition. Stress
arises in varying levels every single day
and it’s important to know that although we
will never be totally free from stress, we
can learn how to manage stress and our
reactions to it, through the regular practise
of yoga, minimising how stress a� ects our
general health and wellbeing.
“Regular practice of yoga can help you
face the turmoil of life with steadiness and
stability.” BKS Iyengar
SOHO hairdressing
Having worked in Cardi� for over 10 years,
it’s great to now be based in the centre of
Penarth! Herbert terrace might be a little
o� the main drag but there is so much
going on and new businessees moving to
our street all the time, it’s such a great spot
for us to be based! Am I pleased to have
opened SOHO here? ABSOLUTLEY!
A lot of our customers come from the local
homes and businesses close by and it’s
great that you don’t really need to leave
Penarth at all to get the same level of
service and quality I was used to in the City
Centre!
Why go to Cardi� when you can stay local
and relax?

Have you ever lost your hearing aids?Let’s face it – they make them pretty small these days; I’m sure most of us have misplaced them from time to time. Now a new feature of ReSound LiNX and the ReSound Smart app uses geo-tagging to enable you to locate your missing hearing aids using your iPhone.
* 2013 Benchmark test was designed and carried out by DELTA Senselab, Hoersholm, Denmark, an independent laboratory specializing in performing listening tests in a variety of domains.
** iSolate™ nanotech protects hearing instruments even better than before, Dr. Rena Appleby, AuD.
ReSound LiNX is compatible with iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPad Air, iPad (4th generation), iPad mini with Retina display, iPad mini and iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 7.X or later.

Over recent years, technology has become more and more central to our lives. Take the Smart phone. Even ten years ago few people would have guessed that their phone would soon double as their internet browser, sound system, camera, alarm clock, satellite navigation system, games console and countless other functions too.
Until now many of these benefits have not been readily accessible to hearing aid wearers. However a new hearing aid, called ReSound LiNX™ is starting to change this by enabling direct audio streaming from an iPhone, iPad or iPad touch.
Say hello to Made for iPhone hearing aidsThe creators of ReSound LiNX call it the world’s smartest hearing aid. And with good reason. It’s a Made for iPhone hearing aid, designed to connect directly with an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It enables phone calls, music or audio to be streamed directly from an iPhone straight into the hearing aids. That means the wearer gets strong, clear sound without interference, distractions or the need for an additional gadgets. In effect,
the hearing instruments function as wireless stereo headphones. So they can make a phone call, FaceTime a loved one, listen to their favourite music or watch a film on their iPad as effortlessly as the next person.
More than just a hearing aidAnd that’s not all. You can also control and fully personalise the sound you hear with ReSound LiNX. A free app called ReSound Smart™ allows you to tweak the base and treble on the go, using your iPhone. So you can create the perfect balance and most comfortable sound for each environment you go into – without having to touch your hearing aid or take out an additional gadget. It will even remember your adjustments when you return to the same location.
Sound so naturalAll of this is achieved without sacrificing the fundamental performance of the hearing aid. In fact, ReSound claims that ReSound LiNX offers the best sound quality available from any hearing aid. A recent independent study of the major hearing aid manufacturers concluded that Surround Sound by ReSound™ was preferred by wearers over the sound of the other manufacturers’ premium products.*
All in a hearing aid that’s smaller, smarter and more connected than ever before.

** iSolate™ nanotech protects hearing instruments even better than before, Dr. Rena Appleby, AuD.
ReSound LiNX is compatible with iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPad Air, iPad (4th generation), iPad mini with Retina display, iPad mini and iPod touch (5th generation) using iOS 7.X or later.

Over recent years, technology has become more and more central to our lives. Take the Smart phone. Even ten years ago few people would have guessed that their phone would soon double as their internet browser, sound system, camera, alarm clock, satellite navigation system, games console and countless other functions too.
Until now many of these benefits have not been readily accessible to hearing aid wearers. However a new hearing aid, called ReSound LiNX™ is starting to change this by enabling direct audio streaming from an iPhone, iPad or iPad touch.
Say hello to Made for iPhone hearing aidsThe creators of ReSound LiNX call it the world’s smartest hearing aid. And with good reason. It’s a Made for iPhone hearing aid, designed to connect directly with an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. It enables phone calls, music or audio to be streamed directly from an iPhone straight into the hearing aids. That means the wearer gets strong, clear sound without interference, distractions or the need for an additional gadgets. In effect,
the hearing instruments function as wireless stereo headphones. So they can make a phone call, FaceTime a loved one, listen to their favourite music or watch a film on their iPad as effortlessly as the next person.
More than just a hearing aidAnd that’s not all. You can also control and fully personalise the sound you hear with ReSound LiNX. A free app called ReSound Smart™ allows you to tweak the base and treble on the go, using your iPhone. So you can create the perfect balance and most comfortable sound for each environment you go into – without having to touch your hearing aid or take out an additional gadget. It will even remember your adjustments when you return to the same location.
Sound so naturalAll of this is achieved without sacrificing the fundamental performance of the hearing aid. In fact, ReSound claims that ReSound LiNX offers the best sound quality available from any hearing aid. A recent independent study of the major hearing aid manufacturers concluded that Surround Sound by ReSound™ was preferred by wearers over the sound of the other manufacturers’ premium products.*
All in a hearing aid that’s smaller, smarter and more connected than ever before.
Could this be the world’s smartest hearing aid?

So, tell us about PPPphysio:
At PPP we have a philosophy. It is to provide the best possible standard of evidence based assessment, diagnosis and treatment. We do this by employing the best, most qualifi ed physios, having the best premises, the best equipment and by providing longer treatment sessions. It’s incredibly important to me that things are done properly at PPP no matter which of our 11 physios you see as our excellent reputation MUST be maintained.
You mentioned that you only employ the most qualifi ed physios:
Indeed. Despite graduating with a BSc in physio 15 years ago, having a Post-Graduate Certifi cate (PGC) in physio and working as a neck and back Extended Scope Practitioner (ESP), I am actually one of the least well-qualifi ed physios at PPP!! Samantha Owen has a Masters degree (MSc) in physio and both Rhian Jones and Nathan Evans are about to complete their MSc. Elin Rees and I started working together in 1999 and Amy Thomas has a wealth of experience. Monica Bennett has a Post-Graduate Diploma (PGD) in physio and works as a knee joint ESP and Kathleen Walker also has a PGD and previously worked as a spinal ESP. I doubt whether any other physio practice has as many well-qualifi ed physios or demands such high standards in terms of experience and qualifi cations in order to be considered for employment.
What sort of things do your physios treat?
Our musculoskeletal physios specialise in treating things like neck and back pain, all joint problems and sports injuries. We also have Kate Laats as our paediatric specialist physio and we have a respiratory physio for breathing problems and chest complications and a neurological specialist for stroke rehab.
I’ve heard PPP physios have lots of experience in dealing with sports injuries:
Yes. From 2005, I was physio for the Wales International Football Team for 6 years under John Toshack. I now look after the U21’s. I’ve also been the Cardi� Rugby Club physio for the past 14 seasons and I help out with the Cardi� Blues when I’m needed. Christian Lambert has previously
worked for the Blues Academy, was a physio in the London 2012 Olympics and both he and Emma Hopkins will be working at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games this summer. Kath Walker has a specialist interest in running injuries and writes for Runners World.
What treatment options are available?
We use joint manipulation and mobilisation, soft tissue work, electrotherapy and acupuncture. The type of treatment you receive is determined by your diagnosis and the most evidence based and e� ective way of treating it. Everybody will also be educated about their condition, given some movement and strengthening exercises, self-management strategies and often postural advice as these are always a really important part of the recovery process. Our physio Anna Irwin who is also an extremely well-qualifi ed Pilates instructor is also about to start various levels of Pilates classes so if any Penarth View readers are interested in these please do get in touch with us.
Do you have any other healthcare practitioners at PPP?
Yes we do. Terese Matthews is our chiropodist and Paola Marks and Catherine Hammacott are our Sports Massage Practitioners.
Where do your referrals come from?
Most people self-refer however a lot of Orthopaedic Consultants and GP’s refer to us because of our reputation for clinical excellence. GP’s know that the wait for NHS physio is usually several months so they frequently recommend that their patients come and see us whilst they are on the NHS waiting list as this often means that they get better straight away instead of their injuries or pain becoming chronic.
Why have you chosen to be in Penarth View?
Some of our patients travel from far afi eld to come to PPP. We want the people of Penarth to know that they have one of the fi nest Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinics in South Wales on their doorstep.

TASTE OF PENARTH | COOK CARDIFF
COOK was fi rst established over 17 years
ago, its founding principle was to make
food using exactly the same techniques
and ingredients that a good domestic cook
would use at home, so everything looks
and tastes homemade.
Today, nothing has changed and COOK
continues to make its meals by hand at its
kitchen in Kent. As proof of the food’s hand-
prepared nature, the name of the individual
chef who cooked each dish is printed on
the packaging. The Cook shop on Wellfi eld
Road has been open since June 2011.
The business is a franchise and is run by Liz
Smart and Karen Purchase. They were both
teachers but discovered Cook food and
were so impressed by the food decided
they just had to introduce it to people in
Cardi� !
As well as providing top quality food at the
best price that looks and tastes homemade
(what’s even more remarkable is that all
the meals are frozen and go straight from
your freezer into your oven or microwave).
We also pride ourselves on o� ering good
service, so as well as a friendly smile and
being o� ered a sample of the food when
you enter the shop, we will also pack your
bags, o� er to carry your bags back to your
car and try to help customers in any way
we can.
Cook o� er meals suitable for everyone,
vegetarians, gluten free, children’s meals
and baby food. We provide meals in one,
two and four portions so you can mix and
match if you happen to be feeding more
than four people. Some of our best sellers
in Cardi� are Moroccan Lamb Tagine,
Fisherman’s Pie, Indonesian Vegetable
Curry, Chicken Dijon and many more. We
can cater for special nights in with Confi t of
Duck with a Juniper Berry Sauce, Spiced
Shoulder of Lamb with a Mango Salsa, and
cook!For all our good intentions, few of us have the time to
cook a meal worthy of Masterchef every evening. And
while we all love the idea of friends coming ove r for
dinner, the preparation and cooking of a posh meal can
escalate into a time-consuming and expensive stress-fest.
Sea Bass on top of sweet, roasted fennel
with a parsley, dill and lemon crumb. We
also provide food suitable for parties and
barbeques. We also have a wonderful
array of desserts such as Chocolate Tru� e
Torte, White Chocolate and Raspberry
Cheesecake, Chocolate Roulade and
Sticky To� ee Pudding.
We fi nd as soon as customers taste the
food they want to try more as they realise
how good the meals taste. We have some
wonderful sta� who make customers
feel valued and there is always a happy
atmosphere in the shop.
We o� er a delivery service - you can either
go on-line www.cookfood.net or phone
the shop on 02920 494166. The minimum
shop is £30 for a free delivery (telephone
orders only – this o� er is not available on-
line).
Our food is ideal if you are going to a
holiday cottage/caravan (who wants to cook
on holiday?) and we can pack it up for them
so it won’t defrost en route.
We have a range of meals that are less
than 400 calories so if your New Year’s
Resolution is to try and lose weight, try
some of our delicious meals that can be
delivered to your door. Also, if you need
or are caring for someone who needs, a

The Devil’s in the detail.....

After adding an exciting new extension
onto their home a local family were keen
to have a bespoke painted kitchen in the
new space that looked beautiful but also
worked with their busy family life.
Odd pillars and di� ering ceiling heights
in the room, a legacy of previous building
work, presented a design challenge but
Ceri from Chalkhouse, made a virtue out
of a problem by boxing out the uneven
wall depths and heights to smooth the
space and streamline the room. Adding
a feature chimney mantle over the
cooking area created an impressive focal
point in the room.

The marina is home to vessels of all shapes
and sizes – from 72ft racing yachts to 18ft
speed boats. For boaters and visitors the
marina is the perfect location to enjoy their
leisure time. The friendly sta� and range
of facilities ensure that Penarth is an ideal
base for those using Cardi� Bay and the
Bristol Channel.
This year the marina has joined the Royal
Yachting Association’s Active Marina
programme. This means that there will
be a range of social, training and cruising
activities for customers to benefi t from
during the season.
In conjunction with the British Marine
Federation’s National Watersports Month
the marina will be holding an open day
on Sunday 25th May. This will be an
opportunity for the local community to fi nd
out about what goes on at the Marina and
to fi nd out a bit about some of the vessels
berthed there. There will also be activities
on the water for everyone to enjoy.
Penarth Quays has a great range of
services. Whether you are looking to buy
a boat, need training in sailing or power
boating or whether you are looking for
help with maintenance it’s all on site. The
marine engineering, rigging and shipwright
services are extensive.
If you are looking for an idea for a day out
on the water why not try a sea angling
charter or a trip on a luxury motor boat.
Whatever you get up to you can relax in
comfort at the end of the day at Pier 64, or
the new co� ee shop opening soon.
Penarth Quays has a 5 Gold Anchor award
from The Yacht Harbour Association. This
is the highest standard of award and is
based on the range and quality of the
services provided. The team at Penarth
Quays looks to provide the best possible
welcome and experience for boat owners
and visitors. The friendly professional sta�
are on duty 24 hours a day throughout the
year to provide advice and assistance.

SUP Challenge WalesStanding Up For AutismAt 3am on the 13th July 2013 the SUP Challenge
Wales team set o� on an epic journey from the
Mumbles in Swansea following the South Wales
Coast line all the way to Cardi� . The purpose of
this 45-mile stand up paddle adventure was to
help raise awareness for children with Autism
and to raise funds for the Surf Experience that
works with Ashgrove School based in Penarth.
![Page 33: Penarth view issue 14 online magazine](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/568bdf6b1a28ab2034bcfafc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
LIFESTYLE & LEISURE | SUP CHALLENGE
33Penarth View
During the adventure the team got the
rare chance to take in this incredible
coastline. From the Phosphorescence
in the night time waters of Swansea bay
to the breath taking sun rise over the
Hugo banks near Porthcawl. The water
was like glass. It was hard to see where
the sea ended and the sky began.
It wasn't all scenery and calmness
though. The challenge was a serious
business with real dangers and a race
against the tide. It was a race that the
team almost lost. However stunning,
the conditions were not favorable for
a fast paddle as there was no tail wind
and the current worked against them.
The paddle from the Knap in Barry to
Sully Island was probably the hardest
section. The tide turned early and the
team struggled against the current.
It was almost game over until we
happened onto an inside current that
fi red us forward and gave the whole
crew a desperately needed morale
boost.
Dan Willmore and Kerry Baker landed
on the Slipway in Penarth at 1.32pm
after 10 hours and 23 minute of non
stop paddling where Friends, Family
and colleague's were waiting in arms!
It was an epic journey and without
the support from Jim and Puravida
Boardriders with Gareth from Cardi�
Bay Wake boarding it wouldn't have
been possible.
A huge thanks to all the supporters and
stay posted for the next fundraiser!

With statistics showing a steady increase
in used car sales, it has been seen as an
indication of economic recovery. With SR
Motors opening two years ago in May,
Stewart and Ross give their views on how
they have found business over this period.
Ross Stephenson - “When we opened SR
Motors back in May 2012, even though
I had been working in the Motor Trade
for over 10 years at that time, I had never
worked with my father before. We had
discussed opening a business for a few
years, but I felt I needed to gain more
experience where I was and with the
economic climate in the doldrums it just
wasn’t the right time. At the start of 2012,
we had the opportunity to acquire the site
on Cornerswell Road and with used car
sales on the up, we felt it was fi nally time to
go into business together”
Having worked for many of the great names
in the motor industry since the 1970’s,
Stewart has managed dealerships for the
Wyndham and Culver Motor Group which
lead him to work with none other than Rolls-
Royce and Bentley!
Stewart Stephenson - “I was the Chief
Executive of a 10 dealership group here
in south Wales for some 25 years and
I believe over that time I have gained
valuable experience across many product
ranges but more importantly I saw the
many advantages of listening to potential
customers. It is easy to sell a nice shiny
car when you have a captive excited buyer
but in lots of cases unless you listen, that
buyer could well end up with the wrong car.
We have said here at SR many times that
we intend to deal with people in a relaxed
atmosphere, o� er the right product and
make the buying experience pleasant, I
believe so far that we have succeeded and
it is our intention to carry on that way”
Ross Stephenson - “What has been
overwhelming for me is how we have
benefi tted greatly from the fantastic local
community and loyalty that Penarth has in
abundance. We have sourced lots of cars
for people who have been referred by
customers who have already bought from
us and have enjoyed their experience.
Having worked at a franchise dealer
where customer retention and loyalty
was paramount, building long standing
relationships in my eyes is of the utmost
importance.’
WHO ARE SR MOTORSWe are a family run business with over
60 years Motor Trade experience in and
around South Wales. Our primary focus
is Used Car Sales and the services that
go hand in hand with this. We always
endeavour to stock the highest quality used
cars with comprehensive provenance, and
with our showroom and forecourt allowing
us to stock between 14 to 16 cars, we feel
we are in a strong position to achieve this
unlike used car sites that have to fi ll 30, 40
or 50 spaces where quality can sometimes
su� er.
Simply selling used cars from our current
stock is not the only string to our bow
however. We take pride in being able to
fi nd the perfect car for you if we don’t
happen to have it in stock. Whether you
are looking for a particular make and
model, or you have specifi c criteria and
requirements, we have the expertise and
trade networking to fi nd you the right
car, and that is not necessarily only used
vehicles. Having long standing relationships
with numerous Franchise dealers in and
around the South Wales region we are also
able to o� er very attractive deals on New
and Nearly New Cars.

PROPERTY | DAVID BAKER
GREEN SHOOTSWith many positive press stories in recent
months regarding the property market
in Wales and the rest of the UK, it would
be easy to think that things are moving
forward apace and prices are skyrocketing,
with available houses at a premium and
the number of applicants far outweighing
supply.
Although the market has been excellent in
Penarth of late, it is certainly not the time to
start panicking, and wondering whether you
will ever fi nd the right property to purchase.
For buyers and sellers alike, the level of
uncertainty over the housing market and
the economy in general have provided
doubts as to whether to enter the market.
These doubts seem to have eased recently
and with the outlook altogether sunnier,
activity levels have risen.
It is fair to say that the right house at
the right price will sell well, but some
properties fi nd themselves in more di� cult
price ranges, or targeting more niche
groups of purchasers and these can still
prove di� cult. Of course, prospective
purchasers are still advised to be open-
minded and think outside the box when
looking at places to buy, while vendors are
encouraged to be realistic on the price that
they are asking.
Is it a buyer’s market or a seller’s market?
Depends entirely on the house!
INVESTMENTSBricks and Mortar have always been
considered a safe place to invest your
money. Whether it is hard earned savings or
part of a pension fund, a good solid return
that you can cash in when needed appeals
to a wide range of people. Things are no
di� erent these days and with the best ISAs
only returning 2% to 3%, and uncertainty
over the future of pensions, many people
are still looking to invest their future in
property.
You don’t need to be a property magnate in
order to make the right choice, and Penarth
has plenty of ideal investments just waiting
for the right buyer. These can be fl ats or
houses, and can need lots of work or be
ready to move a tenant straight into.
Whatever you are looking for, it is important
to identify the type of property you require
before going any further. Whether you like
quaint period charm, or the e� ciency of
41 Penarth View
more modern builds, try not to look based
purely on personal preference. Consider
the kind of investor you are and pick a
property that matches your fi nancial needs
rather than property preference.
BESIDE THE SEASIDEAs Estate Agents, we’re very lucky to work
in such a great town, with more and more
fantastic local businesses to go with some
excellent scenery. As residents of Penarth,
we all benefi t a great deal from the town,
and must ensure that we continue to use it
to its full potential.
We meet a great deal of people moving
into the area for an array of reasons, but
they all want the same thing, to live in
Penarth. They say that you never fully
appreciate what’s on your own door step,
but make sure you do this summer. Get
outside and enjoy all Penarth has to o� er. If
nothing else, it helps to retain and improve
the price of your property!

A recent project on the outskirts of Cardi�
shows the expertise and care taken with
every project to ensure a superior fi nish.
Having successfully landscaped the back
garden for this client, Eden Landscapes
along with designer Jane Grehan were
commissioned to produce a design to
greatly improve the approach of the house
and give it the frontage that is deserves.
Working closely with the client 2D and 3D
plans were produced to clearly convey the
proposed design. The design and planning
process ensured the end result that the
client wanted avoiding expensive and time
consuming mistakes.
With the project requirements clearly
defi ned in the drawings the enthusiastic
and expert Eden Landscapes team were
able to give the client a front garden and
driveway to be proud of!
The Eden team are skilled in all types of
landscaping including patios, terraces,
driveways, natural stone walls, retaining
walls, decking construction, lawns, planting,
fencing, bespoke timber structures, artifi cial
grass installations and garden lighting
schemes designed and installed.
Penarth based Eden Landscapes have been designing and
building gardens of all styles, shapes and sizes in Penarth
and the surrounding area for more than 10 years.
Eden offers the complete service specialising in the design
and build of gardens, driveways and patios.

in either.
We o� er a bespoke design & fi tting

Tax Time The new tax year started on 6th April,
meaning that for circa 10 million UK
taxpayers, the 2013/14 self-assessment
return can now be fi led. It’s a common
misconception that only the self-employed
business owner has to fi le a tax return.
In actual fact, there are numerous other
groups who also need to do so - for
example, if your annual income is £100,000
or more, if you or your partner receive
Child Benefi t and your income is over
£50,000, if you have income from savings,
investments or property, trusts, settlements
or estates or if you have Capital Gains Tax
to pay. These are just a few examples,
and as often is the case with HMRC,
specifi c regulations apply to di� erent
circumstances, so it’s best to take advice
before completing your return.
If you haven’t yet registered for self-
assessment, do so as soon as your
circumstances change – at the latest, you
need to do this before the 5th October
after the end of the tax year for which you
need to fi le a return. HMRC will then issue
a notice to fi le a self-assessment and a 10
digit UTR (Unique Tax Reference) code by
post which you will need to keep safe in
order to fi le your return – remember the
paper submission deadline is 31st October
2014, the online deadline is 31st Jan 2015,
and an automatic £100 penalty applies if
you are late, even if you have no tax to pay.
If in doubt as to whether self assessment
applies to you, as with all taxation matters, it
makes sense to seek professional advice.

CCTV and AlarmsOnly recently have I been chatting with
business owners in the town centre about
theft, and it seems there are still a few
chance shoplifters to deal with from time to
time. Peter, from Windsors Gifts, explained
how his CCTV has caught a few thieves in
action and even helped the police identify
some well known shoplifters in the process.
Generally it seems that having the cameras
in plain site can help put opportunists o� in
the fi rst place. I didn’t really know where to
go from there, but Sonic Alarms are locally
based as well and were able to give me
some great advice, and could even install
the security equipment and maintain it
locally without any issue. Maybe give them
a shout to see if your home or business
needs better protection?

Shop Local!We always knew that shopping locally
had lots of benefi ts – it strengthens
communities, supports local business &
employment and less travel means it’s
better for the environment…and here’s
another great reason! The Shop in Penarth
(SiP) card - the only local loyalty scheme of
its kind in the Vale - grants you access to a
whole host of discounts and special o� ers
around town, as well as the chance to win
vouchers in the SiP monthly lottery!
‘Shop in Penarth’ is a Gwyrddio Penarth
Greening (GPG) project set up and run
by a team of GPG volunteers. GPG is a
community based environmental group that
aims to raise awareness around climate
change and sustainability issues through
practical community projects. More info
on these activities can be found at www.
gpgpenarth.org.uk.
The SiP cards cost just £1 and can be
bought in any of the participating local
businesses – just look out for the ‘Welcome

Main Dealer or Local
Garage?“I have long been a VW fan and often used
VW specialists rather than the main dealer
for a friendlier and usually more a� ordable
service! Recently I had an issue with a
sensor on the engine that hadn’t been
resolved by a few garages, but when I
dropped my car in to Victoria Garage Matt
spotted it right away....and solved it for me!
My pride and joy has never driven better
and it turns out they know quite a lot about
VW’s, and other cars for that matter! Why
not try your local garage? It’s not far to
travel and they may just give you a better
service, Victoria Garage did!”

Accidental landlords
running a risk!One in four residential landlords in the
UK has the wrong insurance, leaving
themselves and their tenants at risk,
according to AXA insurance. Around three
quarters bought personal household
insurance instead of a landlord’s insurance
policy, leaving themselves vulnerable to
having claims turned down. The majority of
these people are ‘accidental landlords’ who
simply decided to let out their residential
home and naively thought the existing
home insurance would be su� cient cover.
As a landlord you have legal responsibilities
to your tenants and obtaining the right
insurance cover is essential. Contrary to
popular belief landlord insurance needn’t
be expensive or complicated. If you own a
property that you let out speak to your local
broker to ensure your property investment
is correctly covered.
How to buy car insurance
like a pro!One in three consumers pays over the
odds for car insurance, according to a
recent survey by the RAC. To get the best
possible price you need to check 3 sources
– Comparison sites, Direct Insurers &
Insurance Brokers.
Use comparison sites to get you started,
then make sure you check the companies
that don’t feature on comparison sites such
as Direct Line and Aviva and fi nally contact
an insurance broker as they may have
exclusive schemes that are only available
via an intermediary. When shopping
around for car insurance, it’s important to
make sure that you are comparing like-
for-like cover. Some policies may seem
cheaper, but you may fi nd you don’t have
the same level of cover and in many cases
the excesses will be higher.
One thing worth remembering is Cheap is
not always cheap! Make sure you check the
companies’ interest rates if you are paying
by direct debit as some insurers are as high
30%APR! If possible pay your premium up
front to maximise your savings.
Also check the insurer’s admin charges so
there are no nasty surprises if you need to
make a mid-term change such as adding
a driver, changing your car or cancelling
49Penarth View
a policy, many insurers will charge hefty
fees for minor changes as this is how they
supplement cheap premiums.
Finally and most importantly always
choose an established reputable insurance
company, as with most things in life you get
what you pay for. If you get a cheap deal
from a company you have never heard of
before don’t be surprised if the cover &
service are lacking when it comes to make
that all important claim.

How often do you have
friends over for dinner?
Do you have steak?Strange questions I’m sure you would
agree, particularly when asked of a
mortgage customer as part of the
application process.
No the world hasn’t gone mad. It’s all to do
with the Mortgage Market Review (MMR)
that came into e� ect on 26th April 2014.
The basic aim is to make sure a borrower
can a� ord the mortgage not only now, but
if (or perhaps that should be when) interest
rates increase.
As a result, lenders won’t simply multiply
your basic salary to calculate how much
you can borrow. Instead, they’ll also factor
in what your spending habits are in order to
determine how much they will lend.
Most lenders have had their MMR systems
in place for a while now. My experience is
that, as long as you get all your documents
in order, you’ll stand a good chance of
having your mortgage agreed.
I’ve never had a lender question a clients
diet, but I guess there’s always a fi rst time.

The Help to Buy Wales and Help to Buy Guarantee schemes have been launched
in order to support people who aspire to become homeowners.
The key di� erences between the two are
that Help to Buy Wales is available only
for new-build properties, and features an
equity loan from the Welsh government.
The Help to Buy Guarantee is simply a 95%
mortgage, the guarantee element being an
arrangement between the UK government
and the lender. This is designed to
encourage more lenders into the 95% loan
to value market, something that lenders
have been reluctant to do since the onset
of the “credit crunch”.
The following table sets out the key di� erences:

Mortgage £150,000 75%
Don’t forget, the equity loan is a loan. £1 per month is charged, and in the sixth year interest will be charged at 1.75% per annum. After this, interest will be charged using the Retail Prices Index plus 1%.

We understand the need for flexibility and competitive prices within this tough climate to be able to provide a secure working environment for all companies in moving forward.
The Business Centre (Cardiff) Ltd can provide flexible serviced office accommodation with exactly the flexibility and value for money that you and your company deserve without any long term leases, solicitors/legal fees & rate/rent reviews that come with any normal traditional leased office accommodation.
What are the main benefits of serviced office space at The Business Centre (Cardiff) Ltd in comparison to leased office space?
● No capital outlay – A holding deposit & the 1st month’s rental is all that is needed to setup the office suite.
● Easy in/out access – setup an office suite within 48 hours and leave with 1 months’ notice to cancel.
● Short term agreements – Minimum of 3 month’s agreement provided providing you extra flexibility.
● On-going support – a monthly rental includes professional personnel (IT/Telecoms engineers, receptionists, cleaners, handymen)
● One simple monthly invoice – serviced offices provide one monthly rental which includes all your utility bills, business rates & much more. Ensuring you know where you stand each month.
● Flexibility of office space – Upgrade or downsize the amount of office space when needed.

Q: What do beauty
therapist, designers, life
coaches and shop owners
all have in common?
A: They all need a form
of business insurance to
protect themselves and
their business.
Through her work Catherine encounters a
wide variety of organisations and believes
that without adequate insurance protection
for themselves and their customers they
could be exposed to potential legal action.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
provides businesses with protection in the
circumstances of error, neglect or omission
whilst carrying out their professional duties.
Which would include protection for
incorrect advice, services or designs
provided. If you o� er any form of advice or
a professional service (which the majority
of businesses do), you are likely to be
vulnerable if you make a mistake.
Catherine said: “The question I always ask
my clients is, ‘Could your business survive
bad publicity or a claim made against your
business or you personally?’ Not just in the
press, Penarth is a small place and word of
mouth can be just as damaging.
“As always with insurance, the key thing is
to think about the worst case scenario and
then work out how you would deal with it.”
The team at Jelf know that running your
own business can be a minefi eld but
Catherine is well-versed in identifying
problems and insurance pitfalls and can

ADVISOR FOR JELF INSURANCE BROKERS AND OVER RECENT

BUSINESSES OPERATING WITHOUT THE RIGHT COVER.
o� er prospective clients a free, face-to-face
consultation to look at their current policies
to check for any potential issues or savings.
Catherine added: “It is extremely important
to me that people take their own business
seriously and make sure that they are
covered if something goes wrong. We live
in an ever increasing litigious society and
our claims culture is dramatically changing.
Sadly, people need to be extremely careful
and well protected.
“Professional insurance might seem like
something that ‘other businesses’ need, but
I struggle to think of anyone who would be
exempt. As always, if in doubt, I would urge
people to get in touch for a chat.”

LIFESTYLE & LEISURE | PENARTH WINDSOR
Two years after its creation, the bowling
club requested more land from the Earl of
Plymouth, land that would be used to house
a tennis court from 1914. A sub-committee
was formed and tennis-only members
began to fl ock to Evenlode Avenue to join
those who also played from the bowls club.
As of 1950 Penarth Windsor Lawn Tennis
Club separated from Windsor Bowling club.
A sublet was secured for the land that now
houses three shale courts as well as two
grass ones to cope with the increasing
membership.
Since then the club has continued to grow.
From the original hut through the beloved
‘prefab’ temporary building (that lasted
30 years) to today’s clubhouse, and its
subsequent renovation, each step the club
has taken has been a marked improvement.
Back in 1983, some shrewd research by
a team of members secured the letting of
some land by Evenlode school allowing
for an extra four courts that was pivotal in
the continuation of the club’s progress.
All the courts have been resurfaced and
expanded to the point where the club now
has seven full hard courts, including a show
court, and a singles court. Since autumn
2013 there have also been state of the art
fl oodlights on six of those courts.
The summer will see nine teams represent
the club in South Wales with the jewel in
the club’s crown – the ladies’ fi rst team –
competing in Premier 1, the top league in
South Wales. The men aren’t far behind
in Premier 2 with teams catering for all
standards of play peppering the other
leagues.
Since last summer, coaching is led by
Rob Wedlake and his Tennis Squad team
.There’s a great deal of focus on their large
junior membership with regular coaching,
camps in the school holidays and more
AEGON teams than any club in South
Wales. Saturday morning is junior morning
with activities and coaching available for all
ages.
The social side of the club isn’t neglected
with the licensed Deuce Bar and regular
o� -court activities including family nights
on Fridays, quizzes, race nights, garden
parties, an annual black tie dinner dance
and more.
Events are already underway to celebrate
the club’s Centenary including a
Masterclass Day (June 29th) where ex-
Wimbledon and Davis Cup players will be
heading to the club to put players through
their paces and make the most of the BBQ
and party atmosphere.

LIFESTYLE & LEISURE | WINDSORS
Spring is in the air and what better way to
enhance that feel good factor than with
some retail therapy too.
Pay a visit to Windsors Gifts to treat yourself
from an array of beautiful things with a
di� erence. If you have a special occasion
looming you can be sure to fi nd a gift for
that special someone, in fact you will be
spoilt for choice.
Windsors has a large selection of Yankee
Candles and accessories and the new
spring fragrances are a delight. The aromas
are fabulous and are available in di� users,
room sprays, car products, tarts for burners
as well as the popular candles and not
forgetting Fragrance of the Month where
you have 25% o� that particular fragrance.
A recent addition has been the new jewelry
range. It o� ers both contemporary and
traditional designs and has proved to be
very popular as it reasonably priced and gift
boxed too.
Peter & Lynne constantly strive to source
items that are just that bit di� erent and still
67Penarth View
maintain good value for their customers.
There are sensational new lights to wow
you, chandeliers, vibrant tower lamps and
mosaic lamps to name just a few.
We must not forget the favorites –
sentimental plaques and boards with
messages people love to hear. In a variety
of colours and vintage design they are
perfect to say your heartfelt words.
There are other great gift choices such
as Bath Time Treats, Mugs & Glasses with
inspirational quotes and the personalized
Welsh Love Spoons which are made to your
personal specifi cations within a few days.
As spring makes us want to pamper our
homes too, you will love the mirrors that
have arrived.
Ornate ‘Swept Mirrors’ available in silver,
gold, black and cream. Funky ‘Lipstick
Mirrors’ which are 5ft freestanding, that
amazingly slip into the smallest area and
‘Paper Mirrors’ where the frame is…. Well
the design is just fabulous, something
else! Come in for a browse and see for
yourself………
Windsors may be a small shop to look at,
but it’s an ‘Aladdins Cave of Loveliness’ and
well worth a visit.
