Maybe you're engaged and considering a"prenup" or you're currently separatedfrom your wedded partner? If so, there area few legal changes afoot.

The Law Commission has proposed forprenuptials and postnuptials - anagreement made about assets duringmarriage - to become legally binding inEngland and Wales for the first time, byin t roducing "qual i fy ing nupt ia lagreements."

Currently, any prenup financialsettlements are persuasive in asking acourt to make an order after anassessment of whether the terms are fair.But the changes ahead could allowcouples to decide how to divide up theirproperty and exclude assets and, as longas legal conditions are met and are fair,these agreements will be binding and notsubject to judicial scrutiny.

These proposals may reduce the cost andemotional stress of divorce, and take awayuncertainty of what may happen if themarriage breaks down. However, it isadvised that both parties still seek

independent legal advice and not on the eveof the wedding.

The reason for this is because there will becertain legal obligations that theseagreements will need to meet to be'binding,' and issues to consider such asfuture children and their needs. Thereshould be a review clause too, so matterscan be re-considered in say five years’ oron the birth of a child. It is also wise to signthe agreement at least 21 days before thewedding to avoid any argument overwhether the contract was made underpressure.

If the marriage does break down thencouples should consider mediation which iswhen couples resolve matters betweeneach other to avoid court. It's an approachwe actively encourage at Gardner Leader ifclients are suitable for mediation - but notall cases are - as evidence shows thatmediation is faster and cheaper than goingto court. From April the Government hasintroduced a compulsory requirement forseparating couples to attend a ‘ mediationinformation and assessment meeting’before they can apply for children orfinancial orders.

Another option is the collaborative lawprocess, which is like mediation but withyour lawyer present. Everyone agrees inwriting not to go to court but to seek asolution and avoid conflict, which is goodfor people that want to preserve anamicable relationship with their formerpartner.

So if you have divorce on your mind, thenthere are options to consider and changesahead. The key is to consider the approachthat is right for you and, where possible,discuss matters first with your partner.

Our new local Bridal scene!Our new local Bridal scene!Our new local Bridal scene!Our new local Bridal scene!

Weddings have changed considerably since April1995 when civil marriages in England and Waleswere permitted to take place somewhere other than aregister office. Scotland and Northern Irelandfollowed suit in 2002 and 2004 respectively. Theselocations, known as ‘approved premises’ includeattractive and romantic venues such as castles,stately homes and even museums so you can haveyour dream wedding in a stunning and unusualsetting. To find approved premises in your preferredlocation look at w.weddingvenues.com.

A popular option is to get married overseas. Manytravel companies include special wedding packagescovering everything from flowers to registrationdocuments, but if you decide to do it yourself thenyou need to ensure your marriage will be recognisedin Britain.

Some issues need to be confirmed very early in thewedding planning. Your choice of date and venue gohand-in-hand as many popular locations are fullybooked up to two years ahead.

Once you’ve established the date you can send outyour first batch of wedding stationery; "Save theDate" cards. This relatively new custom ensures yourinvitees don't inadvertently book their holiday at thesame time. For extra originality you can now buy‘Save the Date’ fridge magnets!

Research the latest trends by browsing weddingmagazines to get inspiration and keep a scrapbook ofall your ideas. Civil ceremonies allow a very moderntake on wedding vows; you can write your own vowsusing poems, speeches or write from the heart. Aslong as there is no religious content, almost anythingis allowed, but will need to be approved by theregistrar.

Whether you choose a traditional white weddingdress, or something a bit different, try on as manydesigns as possible as your preferred style may notactually suit you. Another factor to consider is thelikely weather on your wedding day. In Britain this cannever be guaranteed, but if you’re travelling overseascheck that your outfit can be transported easily andis cool enough to be comfortable in tropical climates.This also applies to the groom’s suit; thick, dark woolon a beach in the Maldives is not a good choice.

Feature:

A water feature adds a trulymagical dimension to anygarden, large or small. Thesound of tinkling water andthe movement of light on itssurface both works wonders,even on a less than perfectplot, and can be just thefinishing touch you need fora patio or back yard or for amuch larger garden. A visit toyour local garden centre orspecialist aquatics centre, ora browse online, will reveala plentiful choice of waterfeatures of all shapes, styles,and sizes; but before youcommit yourself, just whatare the main points to bearin mind?First, position. If you wantmoving water, your choice offeature will almost certainlyneed an electric pump, sothere has to be a power-point nearby – an obviouspoint perhaps, but onethat people do sometimesoverlook. Do you want aneye-catching centrepiecefor a formal garden, orjust the music of runningwater as the soundtrack toyour barbecues or alfrescoSunday lunch? In eithercase, you need to carefullyconsider the appropriateposition.Any water feature from pondto delicate fountain can turn

bright green in summer dueto the build-up of floatingalgae. You can go a long waytowards preventing this pea-soup effect by positioning thefeature away from the hottestdirect sunlight. Make sure it’swell away from overhangingdeciduous trees, too, asfalling leaves are likely toclog everything up.For smaller spaces or patiosyou’re best off with a self-contained and perhaps wall-mounted feature. There arelots of great self-containedwater features availablesuch as terracotta or glazedpot stacks with the watercontinuously circulated fromone container to anotherby a hidden pump, so youwould only need to top itup in the hottest weather tocompensate for the effects ofevaporation.Spouts and fountains aregreat fun in a garden. Aspitting fish, frog, or gargoylecan add a touch of art – orhumour – while its water-jet will oxygenate a pool,reducing algae and keepingthe pond-life happy. If youwant moving water and thereflections it provides butperhaps have toddlers, astone-effect millstone with alow centrally-positioned jetspreading ripples of water

across its surface is bothbeautiful and safe.Plants are integral to anypool or pond. Surface-floating plants such aswaterlilies not only lookgorgeous but their large,near-circular, leaves alsoshade the water’s surface– again, reducing anyproblems you might havewith algae. Waterlilies needstill water, though, so theyare best avoided if you havea fountain; but a singlespitting feature at one end ofthe pool shouldn’t create toomuch turbulence for them.Make sure you plant them atthe correct depth if you wantthem to flourish.Plants grown around theedges of a pools and pondsare called marginals and dobest in shallower water orboggy ground. Use plenty ofthem: they look gorgeous;they hide unsightly edgesand signs of the liner; andthey are a haven for wildlife.For a more formal look you’llwant fewer marginals, butsome shapely rushes or fernsor some yellow or purplebog-iris will add extra impact.Marginals to consider includeyellow-flowered marshmarigold (caltha palustris);white-flowered bog arum(calla palustris); miniature

Water, Water,Everywhere

by Pippa Greenwood


For the natural optimists amongst you,who see a lack of garden space as nobrake on your desire to grow plants, abalcony is a real asset. Sure, you haveto be certain that it is strong enough tobear a load (and that probably meansasking an expert) but, once that’sestablished, it is remarkable whatgardening impulses you can indulge.

There are two things you need to getright: suiting your plants and containersto the site aspect and the climaticconditions, and taking account of thefact that the balcony may well be in viewfrom where you sit or work. Paintingyour sitting room in eau-de-nil, thenputting orange and red-flowered cannason the balcony may not have quite therequired effect. On the other hand,green-leaved ferns and variegatedhostas might be just the thing to giveyour interior scheme added conviction.

The aspect of your balcony will dictatewhat you try to grow. If it faces south or

west, so is sunny and windy, you arebest off growing pots of Mediterraneansub-shrubs, like lavender, rosemary,santolina and cistus, which are used tosuch conditions, as well as trailingdrought-tolerant ivy-leavedpelargoniums. Plenty of spring-flowering bulbs, which die down insummertime, such as crocuses,daffodils, and tulips, are a must. Ifshady, these can be substituted bysnowdrops, aconites and September-flowering Cyclamen hederifolium, andshade-tolerant perennials, with goodfoliage, such as epimediums,herbaceous geraniums and coloured-leaved heucheras.

All these promote an atmosphere ofrestrained prettiness but, for somethingwith a rather more exotic feel, you mighttry cordylines, agaves, the smallerbamboos, yuccas, and other large-leaved, exuberant, but drought-tolerant,foliage plants. The garden centres arewell geared up for these nowadays.

Feature: Balconies and Terraces By Ursula Buchan


Good foliage is important in thissituation, since flowers often go overquickly.

Deciduous plants, especially shrubs,have the advantage of not resisting thewind much in winter (when thestrongest gales are felt). In a moresheltered place, evergreens have theirplace in protecting privacy, filteringwind and giving some muted colour inwinter. If it is practicable to fix open-work trellis to the balcony rail, you cangrow clematis or honeysuckle up it.

As for tiny yards or patios, as long asyou leave just enough space for accessor for sitting out, you can cram the restwith pots of every kind. They often lookbest in a cluster of different shapes,sizes and materials. On a balcony,plastic pots in a terracotta colour arebest but, at ground level, pots can be assolid and heavy as you like. You can bemore adventurous in your planting, too,since you won’t be faced with theproblem of wind exposure. If the yard isa suntrap, I suggest alpines and smallbearded irises, which come in a positiverainbow of colours in May, withcolourful, vertically-growing plants, likecrocosmias and the purple-pink-flowered Verbena bonariensis, to follow.Or you might prefer to go for one or twodwarf or slow-growing trees or shrubs,with two seasons of interest, such as awitch hazel (Hamamelis) or Japanesemaple (Acer).

What compost you use for plantingdepends on how long you intend theplants to remain in the pots. Forsummer annuals, a soil-less, preferablypeat-free or reduced-peat,‘multipurpose’ compost, will do; to thisyou can add water-retaining granules(which swell up on watering to a jellyand release their moisture slowly intothe compost), as well as steady-releasefertiliser, such as Osmocote, whichlasts most of the summer. If the plants

are permanent, use John Innes No 3compost, which contains soil andfertiliser, and is intended for plantsremaining in pots at least a year.

Watering is crucial. If you live in ahosepipe ban area, I suggest you linethe inside of summer pots withpolythene, into which you have made anumber of holes, before putting in thecompost; this will slow down the rate ofwater loss. Use ‘grey water’ from thekitchen and bathroom. And put a layerof grit on top, after the plants go in, tohinder evaporation. If water is plentifuland you have an outside tap, use asimple drip irrigation system for yourpots; it is efficient and time-saving.

find out about the financial help available at yourlocal Jobcentre Plus.Good planning is essential when it comes tobringing people together. A funeral is a time of rawemotion and step three involves consulting friendsand family. Be prepared for diplomacy – you mayeven have to negotiate between family members ifthere are unresolved issues.Do your best to meet people’s needs. Are yourguests from the local area or are they travelling fromelsewhere in the country? Will they want to view thebody when they arrive? Perhaps they will need ameal, or overnight accommodation? In some casesan afternoon service may be more convenient.If you have family members arriving late from far-flung locations who wish to view the deceased in anopen coffin, your funeral director can offer anembalming service (at additional cost) to preservethe body.There’s always a choice, so don’t feel you have toopt for the nearest crematorium, church or otherreligious centre if it doesn’t seem appropriate. A littleresearch may result in a more positive experiencefor everyone.

Poems or prayers? Which photo is bestfor the order of service? Should we request flowersor donations?Although we typically avoid talking aboutuncomfortable subjects, it becomes progressivelymore difficult to discuss someone’s funeral wishesas they age, or become terminally ill. The best timeto have that conversation is when the person is stillactive and in good health.If you never managed to broach the topic while yourloved one was alive, then the first step will be to findout whether they have left written instructionsregarding their funeral, perhaps in the form of aletter or a note in their will.Even if you do find some instructions, there may begaps in the information. Beyond the deceased’sstated preferences you may struggle to answerquestions such as ‘Who is actually responsible fororganising the funeral?’UK law states that if an individual has written a willand appointed executors, the executors will becharged with making the funeral arrangements. Inpractice it is often family members or friends whotake on this role, with the executors’ authority.Once you have established who will be responsiblefor the organisation, the second step should be toappoint a funeral director. It’s wise to check thatthey belong to an accredited body such as theNational Society of Allied and Independent FuneralDirectors (www.saif.org.uk) or the NationalAssociation of Funeral Directors (www.nafd.org.uk).The person who makes the funeral arrangements isresponsible for paying the bills, so take care if noprepaid plan exists and there are insufficient fundsin the deceased’s estate to cover the costs.

Perhaps the hardest decision of all – if thedeceased left no instructions - is whether to optfor burial or cremation. In this case you may findit helps to canvas the opinions of friends orrelatives, or consult a faith leader if the personfollowed a particular religion.Where a Church of England funeral is required,your local C of E church is obliged to provide aburial plot if the person died within the parishand if there is space in the churchyard.

If the deceased was not particularly religious,then the funeral director can recommend anappropriate person to officiate. This may be aCommunity Pastor or member of the BritishHumanist Association. This individual willinterview you about your loved one in order tocompose a suitable, non-religious tribute.

Planning a funeral may seem a daunting taskbut there is always help at hand. The funeral

director will guide you through the many smalldecisions you will need to make, such as whowill carry the coffin, what clothes the deceasedperson should wear and what possessions canbe placed in the coffin. They will advise you onhymns and music, catering, printing the order ofservice and the hire of vehicles as well as actingas a collection point for donations in lieu offlowers, if that is required.

Meanwhile you can download a “FuneralPlanning” fact sheet free of charge from Age UK(www.ageuk.org.uk). It comes with a handy formfor you to write down your own instructions andit’s well worth taking a few minutes to set downyour wishes: one day it will make someoneelse’s planning so much easier to do.

Photographers and videographers are importantpeople at your wedding as they provide a record of aday that has a tendency to disappear in a blur.Modern photography includes candid shots of thewedding party rather than the stiff and formal line-upsof the past. Once again, book well in advanceespecially if you are getting married on a Saturday inthe summer. Disposable cameras placed on thereception tables also provide more fun for you whenthe films are developed.

When it comes to flowers, you can really go to town.Modern floral creations are spectacular and a goodflorist can create a masterpiece for you to carry whichcan also include crystals and beads. If you havechosen a fresh flower bouquet you can now have thisbeautiful creation preserved for posterity. Manycompanies professionally dry and frame the flowersfor you.

Transport to the venue can be in almost any style youwish from buses, limousines, horse-drawn carriagesand even motorbikes and hot air balloons. Allowyourself plenty of time to get to the venue as there isnothing worse than being held up in a traffic jam onthe way to your own wedding.

Many wedding venues have strict rules on the use ofconfetti so ask what is permitted and make sure allattendees know the rules. Perhaps you will be able touse fresh or dried real flower petals rather than papershapes.

Decorating your venue can set any mood you wish,from fun to romantic. Popular modern choices areballoons which can be created into the most amazing

archways and garlands. Candles lends a romanticatmosphere but may not be permitted in somelocations. If your chosen venue forbids the use offlame there are plenty of battery operated LED‘candles’ and fibre-optic lights to choose instead.

Your wedding cake is one of the major talking pointsat the reception. Traditional tiered cakes are stillpopular but more modern versions can be works ofart and very personalised. Another option is to have anumber of beautifully decorated small cakes placedon a tiered display tray.

Music adds to the atmosphere of your entire day fromthe moment you enter the wedding venue to theevening party. If you hire a DJ for the evening givehim a playlist well in advance of the day and don'tforget to include music that will appeal to allgenerations. Why not include a note with yourinvitations asking all attendees to request one specialsong each and then send these requests to the DJ?

With your hair and make-up don't try anythingradically different on this special day. Consider takinga make-up lesson or book a professional makeupartist to assist you. Your hairstylist will have lots ofadvice and don’t forget to have a trial run with yourhair decoration if you are having one.

Planning your wedding can be extremely stressful ifyou allow it to be. If it all gets too much then considerhiring a professional wedding organiser who will dealwith all your requirements leaving you relaxed andhappy to enjoy your special day

An Arboriculturist isanother name for aTree surgeonAfter all the excessiverain and heavy weatherwe have been experienc-ing in the last fewmonths, you may need tocall on one of these pro-fessionals to help repairor remove trees in oraround your garden.

It’s better to call them assoon as you can as a lotof damage to trees - andpossibly your propertytoo, if the branch falls onyour house or car.

An arboriculturist cancheck for dead wood,dangerously split branch-es and can identify dis-eased trees. In fact, a fullytrained professional canwork on your tree fromthe roots to the tip tokeep it healthy, safe andattractive.

However tempting it is towork on a tree yourself,please take into accountthat working up a ladderis incredibly dangerousand the basic rule is onlyto work on those branch-es you can easily reachby standing on theground. Anything higherthan that should involvethe professionals whohave trained long andhard for this very pur-pose. They have the quali-fications, know-how,equipment and insuranc-es that only the profes-sionals provide.

Another point to remem-ber is that a well-established tree may wellhave a Tree PreservationOrder on it, which meansthat you need to checkwith your local authoritybefore attempting anymajor work on it. Alsocheck with them if youlive in a ConservationArea. If either applies youwill need to go to yourlocal planning departmentto get permission to carryout the work.

These days, far too many‘cowboys’ operate in thisbusiness and althoughthe ‘cowboys’ will un-doubtedly be cheaperthan a trained tree sur-geon, you may end upwith more problems thanyou started with, as theprofessional company willhave invested in the cor-rect training and protec-tive equipment. Reputablecompanies never solicitwork by knocking ondoors and will alwayshave an address andlandline, rather than just amobile phone number.

Once you have found agenuine arboriculturist,check their qualifications,experience and make surethey have up-to-date in-surance. References are agood idea too, followthem up and look at workthey have done locally.Ask for a full written quo-tation and make sure youknow whether VAT, re-moval of branches andtidying up is included inthat as well. If you wish tokeep the wood, then makethat clear from the startas you may save quite abit of money. And neverpay until the job is fin-ished!

In addition to understand-ing the health and struc-ture of these living monu-ments, tree surgeons arecreative and artistic socan prune to a beautifuland natural shape.

Trees can live for manydecades so it is very im-portant that they arelooked after by the bestpeople available!

reed-mace (typha minima),perfect if you love bulrushesbut don’t have the space forthem; water forget-me-not(myosotis scorpioides) withtheir stunningly pretty paleblue flowers; and water andbog iris (eg iris laevigata)with their rich purple blooms.You’ll need about two plantsper metre.

Water-features attractwildlife, and on summerdays you may well bevisited by beautiful, colourfuldragonflies or mayflies. Ifthere’s any depth of waterthen many birds may alsocome to drink and bathe.And remember, even a smallpond needs a safe exit-routein case wildlife such ashedgehogs pop by for a drinkand inadvertently tumble in. Ashallow beach of pebbles atone end should do the trick.

If your feature has a sizeablesurface, it’s well worth nettingit in the autumn to catchfalling leaves. Simple gardennetting stretched taut overthe surface is ideal. Removeit as necessary, tip off theleaves, and replace it untilthe worst of the leaf-fall isover. If leaves are allowedto accumulate in the waterthey’ll not only clog thepumps and reduce the depthof the water, but as theyrot down they’ll produce methane gas which is toxic to pond life.In winter, try to stop the water feature from freezing up. If the weatherforecast predictsextremely coldtemperatures,smallerfeatures arebest emptied out

completely and the pumpcleaned up and stored in theshed. Ponds with fish needto have an ice-free areamaintained on the surface orthe fish may be killed by toxicgasses such as methanebuilding up under the ice.Floating an old football on thesurface helps, or you couldmelt a hole in the ice usingthe bottom of a pan of veryhot water (but don’t pour thewater in), repeating when the

surface re-freezes.Visit Pippa’swebsite www.pippagreenwood.com for ‘Grow YourOwn with PippaGreenwood’ for
